Session Levels IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders! 🔹 Session Levels IQ Session Levels IQ is a session-based percentage grid tool designed to map how far price typically travels away from each session open. Instead of treating a session as a simple open-high-low-close range, this tool builds a structured level framework around the session open and tracks which distances tend to get reached, how often they get reached, and what price typically does after touching them . Think of it as a way to study session expansion behavior around the open . This indicator records historical observations to show what typically happens. It’s not a strict probability model, but more of a history book of past behavior. session-based percentage levels built outward from the open custom session or timeframe-based session construction hit-rate tracking for each distance level typical move-after-hit measurement normal vs unusual level zoning optional coloring by historical hit rate or move-after-hit reference price line for inspecting post-hit behavior 🔹 What the tool shows 🔸 Session-centered level grid Each session begins from its opening price, and the script builds levels outward in configurable percentage intervals. This creates a structured grid above and below the session open, helping you visualize how price expands relative to where the session started. This helps reveal: how far price tends to travel from the session open which percentage distances are reached most often how session expansion behaves over time 🔸 Historical hit rate by level The script tracks whether each percentage level gets touched across completed sessions. Over time, this produces a running statistical view of how often price reaches specific distances from the open. This allows you to observe: which distances are commonly reached which distances are less typical where session expansion begins to become unusual 🔸 Typical move after hit In addition to tracking whether a level is reached, the script also records what price typically does after touching that level. For levels that get hit, it measures the median follow-through after contact. This helps show: whether certain levels tend to lead to larger continuation whether some levels produce relatively small follow-through how post-hit behavior differs across the grid This is not just about whether price gets somewhere. It is also about what tends to happen once it gets there . 🔸 Normal vs unusual zones A configurable normal range defines which distances from the open are considered relatively typical and which fall outside that range. Levels inside this zone are treated as normal, while levels beyond it are treated as more unusual. This helps identify: common session movement areas stretched or less typical expansion zones where price is trading beyond its more ordinary session behavior 🔸 Level coloring modes The script can visually color levels in different ways depending on what you want to study. Available modes include: By Hit Chance By Move After None With hit-chance coloring, levels are shaded based on how frequently they are reached. With move-after coloring, levels are shaded based on the magnitude of the typical move after price touches them. This makes it easier to spot: frequently reached levels less common extension areas levels associated with larger follow-through 🔸 Custom session support You can build the framework using either: a standard session timeframe such as 1D a fully custom intraday session window This makes the tool flexible for traders who want to study: daily opens custom market sessions specific trading windows 🔸 Whole-number level emphasis The script can optionally emphasize whole-number percentage distances so that major percentage thresholds stand out more clearly on the chart. This can help when you want to quickly distinguish: major percentage levels minor intermediate levels cleaner structural reference points 🔸 Reference price line An optional draggable reference line lets you place a price directly onto a level and inspect the typical move after that level is hit. This gives you a visual way to explore: how levels behave after being reached which zones tend to continue further which levels show more limited follow-through This feature is best viewed as exploratory context , not as a standalone signal. 🔸 Session range box The script can also draw a box around the current session’s working range, helping frame the active expansion area as the session develops. This gives additional context for: the current session’s high-to-low development where the grid sits relative to the active range how much of the session’s expansion has already formed 🔹 How to read it Each component provides a different layer of session information: Session open → anchor point for the grid Percentage levels → structured expansion distances from the open Hit chance → how often a level gets reached across sessions Move after hit → typical follow-through once a level is touched Normal range → common vs unusual expansion territory Reference line → exploratory view of post-hit behavior 🔹 Why this tool is useful It gives you: a structured way to study session expansion around the open historical context for which distances are commonly reached visibility into which extensions are relatively unusual insight into what price typically does after contacting a level a contextual framework for session movement analysis 🔹 Best use cases studying how far sessions typically expand from the open identifying common vs stretched extension zones comparing likely and unlikely distance levels adding structure to open-based session analysis exploring how price tends to behave after touching key percentage levels 🔹 Important note This tool is based on historical session behavior and percentage-distance tracking. That means: it is descriptive, not predictive certainty results depend on the instrument and timeframe being analyzed smaller level spacing creates more detail, but also more density typical move-after-hit is informational and should not be treated too literally 🔹 Inputs you can customize The script includes flexible controls such as: custom session toggle custom session time session timeframe level spacing percentage normal range percentage label detail level label size label side show all stored levels whole-number level emphasis session range box display level coloring mode reference price line Closing Notes Session Levels IQ is built to shift the focus from simply asking where price is now to asking how far price has historically tended to travel from a session open, how often those levels are reached, and what usually happens after contact . It helps turn session expansion into a more structured and measurable framework , so you can view open-based movement with more context than raw candles alone. Thank you for checking it out and thank you TradingView!

Liquidity Reaction Market Context FrameworkDescription Liquidity Reaction – Market Context Framework is a structured visual tool designed to provide traders with clear market context based on session behavior, time-based positioning, and key reference levels. This script does not aim to generate signals. Instead, it builds a contextual framework that helps traders understand how price evolves across different trading sessions and how liquidity transitions occur throughout the day. Core Concept Markets do not move randomly — they evolve through time-based cycles, where each session contributes to liquidity creation, expansion, and rebalancing. This indicator organizes that behavior into a unified structure, allowing traders to: Identify where price is within the daily cycle Understand how sessions interact with each other Detect where liquidity is likely being formed or consumed Track how price reacts to prior session ranges and reference levels Components 1. Sessions (Day, Asia, London, New York) Each session is represented as a dynamic range (high–low) that evolves in real time. Purpose: Define structural ranges Highlight consolidation and expansion phases Provide context for intraday positioning 2. Session Close–Open Relationship (Gap) The script tracks the relationship between the previous reference close and the next session open. Purpose: Identify imbalance zones Highlight potential rebalancing areas Provide a key reference for intraday reactions 3. Time Zones (Background Context) Background shading represents key trading windows in New York time. Purpose: Provide temporal orientation Align price action with institutional trading hours Improve session-based analysis 4. Extended Hours Marks low-liquidity periods outside primary sessions. Purpose: Contextualize reduced participation Identify transitions between active and inactive markets 5. SMA 200 A long-term moving average included as a structural reference. Purpose: Provide directional bias context Help visualize broader market positioning Why This Script Is Different Unlike traditional indicators that focus on signals or isolated calculations, this script is built as a contextual framework. It integrates multiple time-based elements into a single, coherent structure that reflects how markets actually operate: Through sessions Through time Through liquidity transitions How to Use Use sessions to understand where price is developing structure Observe how price behaves when entering or leaving a session Use the gap as a reference for imbalance and potential reaction Align execution with time zones rather than arbitrary signals Use SMA 200 as a higher-level directional filter Notes This indicator is designed to be used directly on the main chart For proper visualization, place it above in the object tree Works best on intraday timeframes where session behavior is more relevant Each component can be enabled or disabled and limited by timeframe This script is intended for traders who prioritize context over signals, and who want to understand the structure behind price movement, not just its outcome.

NBSG_DayTradingSuiteAn all-in-one day trading overlay designed by a futures trader for futures traders. It consolidates the key levels, anchored VWAPs, session volume profiles, and structural references that intraday traders typically spread across 3-5 separate indicators into a single, configurable script. Built and defaulted for CME futures (ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, and similar instruments), but the session times are fully adjustable in settings. Traders on equities, crypto, or forex can adapt the indicator to their instrument by configuring the session windows to match their market's electronic trading hours. The default session times are set for a trader operating in US Central Time (Chicago time). If you trade in a different timezone, adjust the session inputs accordingly. This indicator is not a signal generator. It plots structure so you can make your own decisions. FEATURES Multiple Anchored VWAPs The indicator plots two independent session-anchored VWAPs, each with optional standard deviation bands: Overnight VWAP (VWAP 1) anchors at 17:00 CT (CME session open) and accumulates across the entire futures trading day through 16:00 CT. It resets cleanly each session. Optional 1SD and 2SD bands with fill show the statistical envelope around the developing VWAP. NY Session VWAP (VWAP 2) anchors at 08:30 CT (Regular Trading Hours open) and accumulates through 16:00 CT. It includes a leapfrog mechanic: when the new RTH session begins, the prior session's VWAP is preserved and continues to plot as "Prev NY VWAP," giving you a reference for how price relates to yesterday's value during overnight trading. Prev NY VWAP: This is the previous day's NY Session VWAP, which continues accumulating through the overnight session after the NY VWAP resets at 08:30. It provides a critical structural reference, particularly during the premarket and early RTH, showing where the prior session's volume-weighted equilibrium sits relative to current price. Many traders use the relationship between current price, the active NY VWAP, and the Prev NY VWAP to gauge directional bias. All VWAPs use separate source, color, and line size settings. Higher Timeframe VWAPs Optional Weekly and Monthly VWAP overlays provide broader context without cluttering the chart. Disabled by default. Session Volume Profiles (SVP) Volume is distributed across the bar's high-low range using a configurable tick-based bin size (default: 2 ticks). The script calculates and plots: Current Session SVP: POC and Value Area (VAH/VAL) for the active session, updating in real time. Prior Day SVP: POC and Value Area from the previous completed session. These levels carry forward as horizontal references. Last Week SVP: POC and Value Area from the prior completed week. Each profile can be displayed as POC Only or POC + VA. The Value Area percentage is configurable (default: 70%). Static Reference Levels Prior Day High/Low (PDH/PDL): Previous day's range boundaries. Last Week High/Low (LWH/LWL): Previous week's range boundaries. Previous Session Close (PSC): The prior day's closing price. Premarket High/Low (PMH/PML): Dynamically tracked during the 18:00-08:30 premarket session. Opening Range (ORH/ORL): The first 15 minutes of RTH (08:30-08:45), with optional fill. All static levels are individually togglable with independent color and size controls. Deadzone A configurable time window (default: 11:00-13:00 CT) highlighted with a background fill and border lines. This marks the midday period where volume and follow-through typically thin out on equity index futures. The time window is adjustable in settings. Bar Coloring Optional bar coloring based on the close's relationship to the three primary VWAPs (Overnight, NY, Prev NY). Bars are colored bullish when above 2 of 3, bearish when below 2 of 3, and neutral otherwise. Disabled by default. Display Modes A master display mode toggle lets you switch between: Advanced All-Level: Shows everything you have enabled, the full suite. Simplified VWAP: Strips the chart down to just the Overnight VWAP, NY VWAP, Prev NY VWAP, and Opening Range. All volume profiles, static levels, and the deadzone are automatically hidden. Useful for cleaner charts or when you want to focus purely on VWAP structure. Labels Every plotted level gets a text label with optional price display, offset to the right of the current bar for readability. Labels can be globally toggled on/off. HOW TO USE 1. Add the indicator to your chart on an intraday timeframe (1m-30m recommended). It is defaulted for CME futures but can be adapted to any instrument by adjusting the session time inputs. 2. The default session times are built for US Central Time (Chicago). If your chart uses a different timezone, adjust the session inputs in the settings to match your market's session boundaries. 3. The default configuration shows most levels. Start by reviewing what each level represents, then toggle off anything that creates noise for your specific approach. 4. For cleaner charts, switch to "Simplified VWAP" mode, which isolates the core VWAP structure and Opening Range only. CONFIGURATION All session times, colors, line sizes, and visibility toggles are individually configurable. The settings are organized into numbered groups for clarity: 1. Master Display Mode 2. Session Times 3. NY VWAP Settings 4. Overnight VWAP Settings 5. Opening Range 6. Volume Profiles (SVP) 7. Static Levels 8. Higher Timeframe VWAPs 9. Deadzone 10. Bar Coloring 11. Labels LIMITATIONS The default session times are configured for CME futures with the standard 17:00-16:00 CT (close enough) session structure. If you are using this on equities, crypto, forex, or other instruments, you will need to adjust the session time inputs to match your market's electronic trading hours. The indicator will work on any instrument, but the session boundaries must be set correctly for accurate VWAP anchoring and level calculation. This is a feature-rich script with multiple VWAPs, volume profiles, and level calculations running simultaneously. Tradingview handles it well the vast majority of the time, but on occasion the script may load slowly or display incompletely. If levels appear missing or the indicator looks off, a simple page refresh will typically resolve it. The session volume profile uses a simplified volume distribution method (volume is evenly distributed across the bar's high-low range in tick-based bins). This is an approximation, not a tick-level volume profile. Accuracy improves on lower timeframes where bars have smaller ranges. The Overnight VWAP session detection uses an hour-based reset (detecting when the bar's hour enters 17:00 in exchange time) rather than PineScript's built-in session boundary detection. This is intentional: on CME futures, the VWAP session (1700-1600) matches the instrument's native session, which prevents the standard session boundary method from firing correctly. The deadzone time window relies on your chart's timezone setting. The default of 1100-1300 assumes US Central. Adjust if your chart uses a different timezone. NOTES This script is original work, but it stands on the shoulders of giants. The concepts and ideas behind it draw from numerous traders, educators, and open-source contributors who have freely shared their knowledge with the trading community. VWAP, volume profile, session levels, and opening range are not new ideas. What this script attempts to do is bring them together in a thoughtful, configurable way that reflects how an active futures day trader actually uses these tools in practice. I built this for my own trading first. I am sharing it as open source because the open-source community on Tradingview gave me the foundation to learn, and this is my way of giving back what I have been given. This is a structural tool, not a trading system. It does not generate buy/sell signals, alerts, or backtest results. Use it as a framework for building your own context around price action. It's all risky, so you may as well make the bet.

Institutional Zone Mapper [JOAT]Institutional Zone Mapper Introduction Institutional Zone Mapper is an open-source overlay indicator that detects swing-pivot order blocks — the last impulsive candle preceding a significant price displacement — and renders them as persistent box-based zones with session-color-coded borders, a four-component strength score from 0 to 10, touch-count tracking, and a configurable mitigation lifecycle. The indicator identifies the candle immediately before a confirmed swing pivot, verifies that a meaningful ATR-scaled displacement followed, and places a zone around that candle's midpoint. Zones are born with a strength score derived from displacement magnitude, session context, age, and zone height — allowing traders to instantly distinguish premium, high-conviction zones from weak, low-probability ones. The core problem this indicator solves is that most order block tools place zones mechanically without quality filtering, flooding the chart with dozens of marginal levels that have little predictive value. The IZM's four-component scoring system ensures only zones with meaningful institutional characteristics survive on the chart. A minimum strength filter removes everything below the user-defined threshold, and the mitigation system automatically removes, stops extending, or fades zones that have been closed through — maintaining a clean, current map of active supply and demand. Core Concepts 1. Swing Pivot Detection The indicator uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a configurable swing length. A pivot high confirmed at bar_index means a price high existed swingLen bars ago that was higher than the swingLen bars on either side of it. When a pivot low is confirmed, the indicator looks back through a configurable candle lookback window to find the last bearish close candle before that pivot — this is the bullish order block candidate. The displacement check ensures the move from that candle to the pivot was at least ATR * dispMult, filtering out low-momentum pivots that are unlikely to represent genuine institutional accumulation. 2. Four-Component Strength Scoring Each zone receives a score between 0 and 10 from four additive components: Displacement Score (0-3): The ratio of the displacement to ATR is binned — larger moves score higher, capped at 3.0 Session Score (0-2): London and NY session zones score 2.0, Asia zones score 1.0, off-hours score 0.5 Age Score (0-2): Freshly formed zones (under 30 bars) score 2.0; zones over 150 bars old score 0.5 Zone Height Score (0-3): Zones whose ATR-normalized height falls in a sweet spot (0.5 to 2x ATR) score 3.0 — too tight or too wide zones score lower The minimum strength filter (default 3.0/10) removes zones that fail to meet the threshold, keeping the chart uncluttered. 3. Session Classification and Color-Coded Borders Each zone's birth session is stored and used to color its border: London zones receive a blue border (#60a5fa), NY zones a pink border (#f472b6), Asia zones a green border (#34d399), and off-hours zones a gray border (#64748b). The session is detected from the candle's timestamp using UTC hours, mapping to standard London (08:00-17:00 UTC), New York (13:00-22:00 UTC), and Asia (00:00-09:00 UTC) windows. This allows traders to immediately gauge which market session was active when institutional activity was registered. 4. Mitigation Lifecycle When price closes through a zone — below the bottom of a bull OB, or above the top of a bear OB — the zone is considered mitigated. Three mitigation behaviors are available: Delete: Zone is removed entirely from the chart Stop Extending: Zone stops extending to the right and fades to near-transparent (zone box is fixed at the current bar) Keep: Zone remains but fades visually to indicate mitigation Touch counting is separate from mitigation — each confirmed close inside the zone increments the touch count, and the border progressively darkens with each retest to communicate how many times price has interacted with the level. 5. Proximity Detection A configurable ATR buffer defines a proximity zone above each bull OB and below each bear OB. When price enters this buffer without yet entering the zone, the dashboard shows "NEAR" and proximity diamonds appear on the chart. This gives an early warning that price is approaching an active level before the actual retest occurs. IZM showing the proximity diamond markers appearing as price approaches a bull OB from above, the info label updating with live age and touch count, and a faded zone after mitigation with the Stop Extending behavior active Features Swing Pivot Order Block Detection: Locates the last impulsive candle before a confirmed swing high or low with ATR-scaled displacement verification Four-Component Strength Score (0-10): Displacement, session, age, and zone height combine into a single quality score — only zones above the minimum threshold are displayed Session-Colored Borders: London blue / NY pink / Asia green / Off gray borders identify which session birthed each zone at a glance Box-Based Zone Rendering: Solid box fills with session-colored borders — substantially more visible than linefill-based zone systems Touch Count Darkening: Zone border opacity increases with each confirmed retest, visually communicating how frequently price has revisited the level Three Mitigation Behaviors: Keep, Stop Extending, or Delete — each with optional fade-on-mitigation toggle Proximity Markers and Dashboard State: Diamond markers and NEAR/ACTIVE dashboard state when price enters or approaches active zones Info Labels: Dynamic text labels at zone right edge showing type, strength score, session, age in bars, zone height in pips/ticks, and touch count Position Filter: Optional toggle to show only bull OBs below current price and bear OBs above, removing zones that are contextually irrelevant to the current price location Max Active OBs: Oldest zones are trimmed when the array exceeds the configured maximum, keeping memory usage bounded 9-Row Dashboard: Active bull/bear OB counts, touch states (ACTIVE / NEAR), current session, ATR, minimum displacement distance, minimum strength threshold 6 Alertconditions: Zone entry, proximity approach, and new zone creation alerts for both bull and bear sides Input Parameters Order Block Detection: Swing Length: Pivot confirmation lookback — higher values detect more significant, less frequent pivots (default 7) OB Candle Lookback: How many bars back to search for the qualifying order block candle (default 20) Displacement ATR Mult: Minimum displacement from OB candle to pivot, as a multiple of ATR (default 1.3) Max Active OBs / Side: Maximum concurrent zones per direction before oldest are trimmed (default 5) Min Strength Filter: Minimum strength score required to display a zone (default 3.0/10) Zone Settings: Zone ATR Width: Half the zone height expressed as ATR multiplier — sets the vertical thickness of zones (default 0.75) Proximity Buffer (ATR): Distance above/below zone edge that activates the NEAR state (default 0.25) Position Filter: When enabled, only shows zones on the correct side of current price (default off) Mitigation: On Mitigation: Keep / Stop Extending / Delete (default Stop Extending) Fade On Mitigation: Whether to reduce zone opacity when mitigated (default on) How to Use This Indicator Primary Setup — Zone Retest Entry: Look for price returning to an active zone (box fill area) after displacement away from it. When the dashboard shows ACTIVE and the zone has a high strength score (7+), this represents a high-quality retest opportunity. Enter in the zone's direction with a stop beyond the opposite edge of the box. Reading the Strength Score: Zones scoring 7-10 should be treated as premium levels — the displacement was large, the session was active, the zone is fresh, and the height is optimal. Zones scoring 3-5 are marginal. Use the minimum filter to remove low-quality zones entirely if the chart becomes cluttered. Session Context: London and NY zones (blue and pink borders) represent the most liquid, highest-participation session activity. An Asia-born zone that has not been retested by London or NY open is lower priority. A NY-born zone returning to price during the following London session is a high-context setup. Proximity Workflow: When a proximity diamond appears, price is approaching but has not entered a zone. This is the time to prepare your entry plan — set alerts using the Approaching alerts, watch for confirmation signals on a lower timeframe, and be ready when the NEAR state transitions to ACTIVE. Indicator Limitations Order block detection requires a confirmed swing pivot — pivot confirmation in Pine Script v6 is delayed by swingLen bars, meaning zones are created with a bar offset relative to the actual pivot price action The displacement check uses the current-bar ATR, not the ATR at the time the zone was created — on rapidly expanding volatility environments this can temporarily raise the displacement threshold and filter out recent zones The four-component scoring system uses static bin boundaries. Markets with unusually large or small ATR ranges may require tuning the displacement multiplier and zone width parameters to produce well-calibrated scores Touch count increments on any confirmed close inside the zone, including the candle that originally created it. The first touch is therefore always the creation bar itself; meaningful retest context begins at touch count 2+ The mitigation logic detects a close through the zone edge, not an intrabar wick. Strong impulse candles that close back inside the zone will not trigger mitigation despite briefly penetrating the level Originality Statement This indicator is original in its four-component strength scoring system, session-colored border architecture, and touch-count border darkening feedback mechanism. The publication is justified because: The four-component strength score (displacement, session, age, zone height) produces a quantitative quality ranking that is not present in standard order block tools, allowing the user to immediately identify premium versus marginal zones without manual evaluation Session-colored borders encode institutional session context directly into the zone visual without requiring the user to maintain a separate session indicator, creating a self-contained contextual map Touch-count border darkening provides a progressive visual feedback loop that communicates zone interaction history — the darker the border, the more times price has revisited the level The proximity buffer and NEAR/ACTIVE dashboard state create a two-stage alert system that gives traders preparation time before an actual zone retest, reducing late entries The mitigation lifecycle with fade-on-mitigation is a novel approach to zone management that preserves chart history while clearly delineating which zones remain actionable Disclaimer This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument.

AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim [AGPro Series]AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim Overview / What it does AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim is an overlay built to map one very specific price behavior around the previous day’s range: a sweep of the Previous Day High (PDH) or Previous Day Low (PDL), followed by a reclaim back inside the level. The script is designed for traders who want a structured way to observe failed expansion attempts around prior-day liquidity. Instead of treating every break of PDH or PDL as continuation, this tool focuses on the opposite question: when price briefly trades beyond a prior-day extreme and then reclaims that level, is the move showing signs of rejection strong enough to deserve attention? The core idea is intentionally narrow. This is not a broad market-structure engine, not a support/resistance dashboard, and not a general breakout system. Its purpose is to isolate a specific sequence: sweep -> reclaim -> quality assessment. That single workflow helps keep the script readable and functionally distinct. Signals can be confirmed on the same bar or on the next bar, depending on user preference. Once a reclaim is confirmed, the script assigns a quality score, draws a directional arrow, prints a reclaim label, and keeps the visual structure compact enough for practical chart work across intraday and higher timeframes. Unique Edge The distinguishing feature of this script is that it does not simply plot PDH and PDL, and it does not label every break as meaningful. It attempts to separate ordinary range interaction from failed liquidity grabs by requiring reclaim confirmation and then grading the event. Its logic is centered on reversal-quality mapping rather than static level display. That means the script does more than show where the previous day’s extremes are located. It evaluates whether the move through those extremes was shallow or excessive, whether the reclaim was weak or decisive, whether wick behavior supports rejection, whether volume was comparatively active, and whether the event occurred inside the selected session context. Another practical edge is the confirmation flexibility. Some traders prefer immediate reclaim behavior on the same bar. Others want one additional bar for confirmation. This script supports both approaches, plus an Either mode for broader detection. The visual side is also deliberately managed. Reclaim labels, arrows, guide lines, sweep boxes, label spacing controls, visible label limits, and HTF label filtering are included so the output remains usable instead of turning into uncontrolled chart clutter. Methodology The script retrieves the previous day’s high and low and tracks live interaction with those two reference levels. Bullish reclaim logic begins with a downside sweep: - price trades below the Previous Day Low - price then closes back above the Previous Day Low - confirmation can occur on the same bar, on the next bar, or by either method depending on settings Bearish reclaim logic mirrors that process: - price trades above the Previous Day High - price then closes back below the Previous Day High - confirmation follows the selected reclaim mode After confirmation, the script computes a quality score from multiple components. These components are intended to give structure to the event rather than to claim certainty about future direction. The quality model includes: - sweep depth relative to ATR - reclaim strength within the bar range - rejection wick fraction - relative volume versus a moving average baseline - bar range relative to ATR - urgency factor for same-bar versus next-bar confirmation - candle body bias - session participation The final score is normalized to a 0-100 scale and translated into a simple tier: - A - B - C - D This score is not meant to be a prediction engine. It is a ranking tool that helps organize reclaim events by relative quality under the script’s own rules. Session filtering is available because many traders only want to evaluate sweep-and-reclaim behavior during specific active windows. London, New York, custom sessions, or unrestricted monitoring can be selected. For chart usability, the script also includes: - previous day range fill - optional reclaim guide lines - optional sweep boxes - reversal arrows - reclaim labels - summary panel - visible label limits - HTF smart label filtering - minimum bar spacing between same-side labels Signals & Alerts The script produces two primary confirmed event types: 1. Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim A downside sweep through PDL followed by a reclaim back above that level. 2. Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim An upside sweep through PDH followed by a reclaim back below that level. When enabled, the chart can display: - directional reclaim arrows - reclaim labels with score, tier, and confirmation mode - sweep zone boxes - short reclaim guide lines Built-in alerts are included for: - Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim - Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim These alerts are tied to confirmed reclaim conditions defined by the selected confirmation mode and minimum quality threshold. Key Inputs Reclaim Confirmation Choose whether confirmation must occur on the Same Bar, Next Bar, or Either. One Signal Per Side / Day Limits repeated signals of the same side within a single day. Use Session Filter Restricts detection to the selected session environment when desired. Minimum Quality Score Filters out lower-ranked reclaim events. ATR Length / Volume SMA Length Inputs used by the quality model. Ideal Sweep Depth (ATR) / Maximum Sweep Depth (ATR) Define how the script evaluates sweep depth quality. Label and Visual Controls Manage font size, offset, sweep boxes, guide lines, visible label count, and general chart cleanliness. HTF Smart Label Filter Helps reduce label overload on daily, weekly, and monthly charts. Minimum Bars Between Same-Side Labels Introduces spacing between repeated bullish or bearish reclaim labels to prevent visual stacking. Limitations & Transparency This script is an analytical overlay. It is not a strategy, not an execution model, and not a guarantee of reversal. A reclaim of PDH or PDL can still fail. Markets can continue trending after a sweep, especially during strong directional conditions, news-driven volatility, or low-liquidity distortions. For that reason, the quality score should be interpreted as an internal event-ranking framework, not as proof of future performance. Session settings matter. Timeframe context matters. Confirmation mode matters. Label filters also affect what is visible on the chart, especially on higher timeframes. Users should understand that changing these inputs changes the strictness and presentation of the output. This tool does not use order book data, broker-specific execution data, or hidden liquidity metrics. It works entirely from chart-based price and volume inputs available in Pine. It is also important to note what this script does not attempt to do: - it does not classify overall market regime - it does not replace broader structure analysis - it does not define entries, stops, or exits for the user - it does not evaluate multi-level confluence outside its own reclaim framework In short, it is a focused map for previous-day sweep and reclaim behavior, nothing more and nothing less. Risk Disclosure This script is for chart analysis and educational use only. It does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All trading decisions involve risk. Past price behavior around previous-day levels does not guarantee future results. Users should apply their own confirmation process, risk management rules, and market context analysis before acting on any chart signal. Always test settings carefully and use the tool as one component inside a broader decision-making process, not as a standalone basis for trading.

Live HTF Volume POC - ChartDNAThis indicator displays a real-time volume profile with a dynamic Point of Control (PoC) line on any higher timeframe, from 15-minute sessions up to 3-month periods. HOW IT WORKS The script divides the selected timeframe's price range into configurable bins and accumulates normalized volume at each level. The bin with the highest volume is highlighted as the PoC. A stepping PoC line tracks how the highest-volume level shifts as the session develops in real time. When a new HTF session begins, the previous session's profile is frozen on the chart, building a visual history of volume distribution across sessions. FEATURES - Flexible timeframe selector supporting intraday (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 12h) through higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) - Dynamic PoC plotted as a stepline showing real-time PoC migration - 8 profile color styles: Default, Monochrome, Blue, Cyan, Green, Red, Orange, Purple (all gradient-based) - Adjustable bin count and PoC line width - Clean overlay with minimal chart clutter HOW TO USE - Use on lower timeframes (e.g., 5m or 15m chart) with a higher session timeframe (e.g., 1D or 1W) to see where volume is concentrating - The PoC level often acts as a magnet for price, useful for identifying support/resistance and mean-reversion zones - Combine with your existing price action or order flow analysis LIMITATIONS - Volume data quality depends on your broker/exchange feed - On very low-liquidity instruments, the profile may appear sparse - The indicator uses request.security() with a offset and lookahead to detect HTF boundaries; this does not introduce future data CREDITS Based on "Real-Time HTF Volume Footprint" by BigBeluga (open-source, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Modified with added timeframe flexibility, multiple gradient color styles, PoC line customization, and UI cleanup.

AG Pro Kill Zone Session Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro Kill Zone Session Engine Overview / What it does AG Pro Kill Zone Session Engine is a session-based overlay designed to map the internal range behavior of selected intraday kill zones and preserve the most relevant reference levels after each zone has ended. Instead of treating London, New York, Asia, and London Close as simple background highlights, this script organizes each enabled zone as a structured session event. During an active zone, it tracks the developing high, low, and optional midpoint. After the zone closes, it can carry those levels forward as clean horizontal references so traders can study how price interacts with prior session liquidity. The script is built for users who want more context than a basic session coloring tool. It helps visualize where a session range formed, how wide it was relative to recent history, whether the session expanded or stayed narrow, and whether later price action interacted with that session through sweep-style behavior. This is not a prediction engine and it does not attempt to forecast the next directional move. Its purpose is to structure session information into a cleaner analytical framework so traders can evaluate intraday context with more consistency. Unique Edge What makes this script different from a standard session indicator is that it does not stop at showing when a session is active. Its core focus is session range formation plus post-session interaction. Each enabled kill zone can build a live range while active, then leave behind reference levels that remain usable after the session ends. This allows the chart to show not only where a session occurred, but also how later price responded to that session. The script also adds session-width context. A zone can be classified relative to recent comparable zones so traders can quickly see whether the session was narrow, balanced, or expanded. That extra layer helps separate passive session activity from zones that created a more meaningful range. Another important distinction is the sweep engine. Rather than only drawing static levels, the script can evaluate whether later price action interacts with prior session highs or lows in a sweep-oriented manner. This makes the tool more useful for traders who study liquidity behavior around specific intraday windows. In short, this script is intended to function as a session behavior map, not as a simple background painter. Methodology The script works in four main steps. 1) Session detection The user can enable or disable the supported kill zones individually and define session windows using a UTC offset and custom time settings. This keeps the script flexible across instruments, broker feeds, and local chart preferences. 2) Range construction While a kill zone is active, the script updates the developing session high and low. Optional midpoint logic can also be shown. These values form the core session range for that specific zone. 3) Post-session reference mapping When the zone ends, the completed high and low can remain on the chart as forward reference levels. This allows later price interaction to be evaluated against a completed session range rather than only during the active zone itself. 4) Sweep and width analysis The script can evaluate reference-level interactions using its sweep logic and can also classify the completed width of a zone relative to prior zones of the same type. This helps the user distinguish between narrow, balanced, and expanded sessions. Signals & Alerts This script is primarily an analytical overlay, but it also supports alertable events around session activity and sweep behavior. Depending on the enabled options, the script can be used to monitor: - when a new kill zone becomes active, - when price interacts with a prior session high, - when price interacts with a prior session low, - when sweep-oriented behavior is detected relative to a carried-forward reference range. These events are designed to describe chart conditions, not to deliver standalone trade calls. The visual outputs can include: - session background shading, - current and completed session high/low levels, - optional midpoint levels, - compact session summary labels, - sweep markers, - an information panel showing active zone status, width context, reference zone, and sweep status. Key Inputs The script includes a focused but flexible input set so users can adapt it without overcomplicating the chart. Core controls include: - UTC offset and custom session timing, - individual enable/disable controls for Asia, London, New York, and London Close, - high/low visibility, - midpoint visibility, - projection length for completed session levels, - label density and summary behavior, - panel visibility, placement, and text sizing, - sweep mode and alert controls, - visible session memory so the chart can stay cleaner on higher timeframes. These controls allow the tool to be used in a more detailed mode on lower intraday charts or in a more compressed mode on higher timeframes. Limitations & Transparency This script is designed as a context tool. It does not define trade entries, stop placement, or risk management for the user. Session behavior can vary across instruments and feeds, so identical settings may not produce equally meaningful output on every market. Some assets respond more clearly to session-based reference levels than others. Sweep logic is also a chart-interpretation aid, not a certainty model. A detected sweep does not imply immediate reversal, continuation, or trade validity on its own. It simply highlights a specific type of interaction with a prior session reference. The script is best suited to intraday analysis. While it can still display useful information on higher timeframes, the underlying logic is rooted in session behavior, so lower intraday charts will usually provide more direct visual relevance. As with any visual overlay, increasing history depth or label density may add chart clutter. For that reason, the script includes controls to compress memory and reduce label load when needed. Risk Disclosure This script is provided for educational and analytical use only. It is not financial advice, not a signal service, and not a promise of outcome. It does not guarantee reversals, breakouts, continuations, or profitable execution. Any trading decision should be made within the user's own process, risk model, and market understanding. The intended use of this script is to help organize session structure, liquidity references, and post-session interaction on the chart so that traders can make more informed observations with a clearer visual framework.

Killzone Cartograph [JOAT]Killzone Cartograph Introduction Killzone Cartograph is an advanced open-source session structure mapper built around ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It automatically detects and renders the major institutional trading sessions — Asia, London, New York, and London Close — as color-coded boxes on the chart, calculates deviation projections from session ranges, tracks the New York Midnight Open as a key reference level, measures session dominance, detects session overlaps, and provides session bias signals. The indicator transforms raw time-of-day data into a structured visual map of when and where institutional activity concentrates. The reason this indicator exists is that price does not move randomly throughout the day. Institutional order flow clusters around specific session windows — the "killzones" — where liquidity is deepest and the largest moves originate. Retail traders who ignore session structure often enter during low-liquidity periods (getting chopped) or miss the high-probability windows entirely. Killzone Cartograph makes session structure visible so traders can align their activity with institutional timing. Core Concepts 1. Session Killzone Detection and Rendering Each session is defined by a time window and timezone. The indicator detects when the current bar falls within each session and renders a box from the session's high to low, extending as the session progresses: Asia Session: Typically 2000-0000 NY time. Often establishes the initial range that London and New York will sweep London Session: Typically 0200-0500 NY time. The first major liquidity injection of the day, frequently setting the daily direction New York Session: Typically 0700-1000 NY time. The highest-volume window where the London move is either confirmed or reversed London Close: Typically 1000-1200 NY time. A secondary window where institutional position management creates distinct price patterns Each session box is rendered with a distinct color from a muted institutional palette — tyrian violet for Asia, cardinal for London, cerulean for New York, and gunmetal for London Close. Box borders use the session color while fills use high transparency to avoid obscuring price action. 2. Deviation Projections Once a session's range is established, the indicator projects deviation levels above and below the session high and low. These projections use configurable multipliers of the session range to identify where price might reach if it breaks out of the session box. This concept is rooted in the ICT framework where session ranges serve as measuring sticks for subsequent moves: float sessionRange = sessionHigh - sessionLow float devUp = sessionHigh + sessionRange * deviationMult float devDn = sessionLow - sessionRange * deviationMult Deviation levels are drawn as dashed lines extending from the session box, providing visual targets for breakout moves. 3. New York Midnight Open Reference The NY Midnight Open (the opening price at 00:00 New York time) is a key ICT reference level. It serves as a daily bias marker — price above the midnight open suggests bullish daily bias, below suggests bearish. The indicator tracks this level and draws it as a horizontal reference line across the chart. Many institutional algorithms reference this level for daily positioning decisions. 4. Session Dominance and Overlap Detection The indicator tracks which session produces the largest range each day and identifies it as the "dominant" session. It also detects when sessions overlap (London/New York overlap is particularly significant as it produces the highest liquidity of the day). Overlap periods are highlighted because they often generate the most significant price moves. 5. Session Bias Signals At the close of each session, the indicator evaluates the session's price action to determine bias: If the session closed in its upper third with expanding range, bullish bias is assigned If the session closed in its lower third with expanding range, bearish bias is assigned Otherwise, neutral bias is assigned These bias arrows appear at session boundaries to provide quick directional context for the next session. 6. Killzone Strength Scoring Each killzone receives a strength score based on the session's range relative to the daily ATR, volume during the session, and whether the session produced a directional move or just chopped. Higher scores indicate more significant sessions that are more likely to set the tone for subsequent price action. Features Session Box Rendering: Automatically drawn boxes for each session with configurable colors, extending as the session progresses and finalizing at session close Deviation Projection Lines: Dashed lines at configurable multiples of the session range, projecting potential breakout targets NY Midnight Open Line: Persistent horizontal reference at the 00:00 NY open price, updated daily Previous Day High/Low Levels: Horizontal lines marking the prior day's extremes as key support/resistance references Session Overlap Highlighting: Background coloring during session overlap periods (particularly London/NY overlap) Dominance Coloring: The dominant session's box receives enhanced visual treatment to stand out Session Bias Arrows: Directional arrows at session boundaries indicating the session's concluded bias Killzone Strength Score: Numerical score for each session displayed in the dashboard Session Bar Coloring: Optional bar coloring that tints candles based on which session they belong to 16-Row Dashboard: Displays current session, session high/low/range, deviation levels, midnight open, daily bias, dominant session, overlap status, killzone scores, and previous day levels Input Parameters Session Windows: Asia/London/New York/London Close session times: Configurable time windows in exchange timezone Timezone: Timezone for session calculations (default: America/New_York) Deviation: Deviation Multiplier: Multiple of session range for projection lines (default: 1.0) Show Deviations: Toggle deviation projection lines Reference Levels: Show Midnight Open: Toggle NY Midnight Open reference line Show Previous Day H/L: Toggle prior day's high and low levels Visuals: Toggles for each session's box rendering, bias arrows, bar coloring, overlap background, and dashboard Individual color inputs for each session How to Use This Indicator Step 1: Identify the Active Session The colored box tells you which session is currently active. Focus your trading during the session windows where you have the most experience and where your strategy performs best. Step 2: Use Session Ranges as Context The Asia session range often serves as the "initial balance" for the day. Watch for London to sweep one side of the Asia range (a liquidity grab) before establishing the daily direction. The New York session then either confirms or reverses the London move. Step 3: Trade Deviation Projections When price breaks out of a session box, the deviation projection lines provide measured-move targets. These are not guaranteed levels but represent statistically common extension distances based on the session's own range. Step 4: Reference the Midnight Open Use the NY Midnight Open as a daily bias filter. If price is above the midnight open, favor long setups. If below, favor short setups. This simple filter aligns your trading with the daily institutional bias. Step 5: Prioritize Overlap Windows The London/New York overlap (typically 0700-1000 NY time) produces the highest liquidity and often the day's most significant move. This is the highest-probability window for directional trades. Close-up of the London/New York overlap period showing session boxes overlapping, deviation projections extending from the London range, and the NY Midnight Open reference line with price reacting to it Indicator Limitations Session times are fixed inputs based on typical institutional schedules. During daylight saving time transitions, session windows may need manual adjustment depending on your broker's timezone handling Session structure analysis is most relevant for forex, futures, and indices that have distinct session-based liquidity patterns. Crypto markets trade 24/7 with less distinct session boundaries Deviation projections are statistical tendencies, not guaranteed levels. Price may fall short of or exceed projected deviations The NY Midnight Open is a reference level, not a support/resistance level with inherent strength. Its significance comes from institutional algorithm behavior, which may vary Session dominance and bias signals are determined after the session closes, making them useful for context but not for real-time entries within that session On higher timeframes (4H, Daily), individual session boxes may not render meaningfully as multiple sessions fit within a single candle Originality Statement This indicator is original in its comprehensive integration of ICT session concepts into a unified mapping system. While session boxes and killzone detection exist in other scripts, this indicator is justified because: The deviation projection system uses the session's own range as a measuring stick, providing context-specific targets rather than generic ATR-based projections Killzone strength scoring quantifies session significance using range, volume, and directional metrics — providing an objective measure not available in simple session box indicators Session overlap detection with visual highlighting identifies the highest-liquidity windows automatically The integration of NY Midnight Open, previous day levels, session bias, and dominance tracking into a single tool eliminates the need for multiple separate session indicators Session bias arrows provide actionable directional context at session boundaries based on multi-factor analysis of the concluded session The muted institutional color palette and clean box rendering avoid the visual clutter common in session-based indicators Disclaimer This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Session structures, deviation projections, and bias signals are based on historical patterns of institutional activity and do not guarantee future price behavior. Market conditions change, and sessions that historically produced strong moves may not always do so. Always use proper risk management and conduct your own analysis.

AG Pro ORB Quality [AGPro Series]AG Pro Opening Range Breakout Quality OVERVIEW / WHAT IT DOES AG Pro Opening Range Breakout Quality is a session-structure indicator built to evaluate how price behaves around the Opening Range rather than treating every early breakout as equally meaningful. The script defines an Opening Range from a user-selected session window, locks that range when the session window ends, and then tracks whether price breaks above or below that range with constructive follow-through, delayed expansion, weak continuation, retest acceptance, or failure back into the range. Instead of acting like a simple breakout marker, this tool is designed to help organize the sequence that often matters most after the range is formed: range construction, first directional break, follow-through quality, retest behavior, acceptance, and failed continuation. This makes it more useful for traders who want a structured way to study whether the market is truly accepting price outside the Opening Range, or only probing beyond it temporarily. UNIQUE EDGE Most Opening Range tools focus mainly on drawing the range and marking the first break. This script is designed to go one step further by grading the quality of that break and the quality of post-break behavior. Its main edge is not the box itself. Its edge is the attempt to classify whether the move is: clean, good but delayed, weak, accepted after retest, or rejected back into the range. That makes the script conceptually different from a generic breakout overlay and also different from a broad market-structure or break-retest map. This indicator is specifically anchored to the Opening Range and to the behavior that follows that range. METHODOLOGY 1) Opening Range Construction The script builds an Opening Range from the chosen session window and stores: - range high - range low - optional midpoint 2) Break Detection After the range is locked, the script scans for the first qualified directional break within a defined search window. 3) Quality Engine Once a break appears, the script evaluates it using a rules-based scoring framework. The score can incorporate factors such as: - displacement beyond the range - body efficiency versus wick behavior - timing of the break relative to the range lock - optional relative volume context - directional alignment versus a moving average reference - post-break extension quality - retest depth and retest acceptance 4) State Transition Logic The script then maps price behavior into structured states such as: - Building Range - Watching Break - Bull Break Detected - Bear Break Detected - Bull Acceptance - Bear Acceptance - Failed Back In - Range Expired 5) Visual Organization The chart can display the Opening Range, the active acceptance zone, and projected target levels so that the user can visually compare the range location, the active accepted area, and nearby expansion references. SIGNALS & ALERTS The script can generate alerts for: - break events - acceptance events - failure events These alerts are intended to notify the user when a defined state transition occurs under the script's internal rules. They should be treated as workflow events, not as standalone trading instructions. KEY INPUTS Opening Range - Session Label - Opening Range Session - Timezone - Engine Timeframe - Range Extension Bars - Show Midline Quality Engine - Late Break Threshold - Acceptance Confirmation Bars - Break Search Window - Failure Tolerance - Relative Volume Length - Use Volume in Score Projected Targets - Show Targets - T1 / T2 / T3 - Target Multipliers - Target Ray Width - Target Label Style Style - Theme - State Labels - Background Tint - Label Size - Label Mode - Hero OR display - Acceptance Ribbon - Minimal OR Tag - Right-side layout controls Panel - Panel Position - Panel Font Size - Score Meter HOW THIS SCRIPT IS DIFFERENT This script is not meant to be a general-purpose support/resistance map, and it is not meant to be a broad break-retest engine applied to every chart structure. Its scope is narrower by design. The entire logic is centered on the Opening Range and what happens immediately after that range is established. Because of that, the script is more session-specific and more sequence-specific than many broader structure tools. It is also not a plain "Opening Range breakout = signal" overlay. A break can still be weak, late, accepted after retest, or rejected back into the range. That distinction is the core of the script. LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY This is a rules-based interpretation tool, not a predictive model. The score is an internal quality estimate derived from the script's selected factors and thresholds. It should not be treated as an objective market truth. Opening Range behavior can vary significantly by instrument, volatility regime, session participation, and timeframe. A configuration that is useful on one symbol may not behave the same way on another. Projected targets are reference expansions based on the script's range logic. They are not guarantees, forecasts, or required destinations. Retest and acceptance behavior are also dependent on the selected engine timeframe. Lower engine timeframes may capture more detail, while higher ones may smooth some intrabar behavior. Users should review settings carefully and test the script on the instruments and sessions they actually follow. WHAT IT IS NOT This script is not: - a guarantee of breakout continuation - a promise that every accepted break will trend - a substitute for independent risk management - a standalone reason to enter or exit a trade - financial advice RISK DISCLOSURE This indicator is provided for educational and analytical use. All trading involves risk. Markets can reverse quickly, fail to follow through, or invalidate a setup even when a breakout initially looks constructive. Use the script as a structured chart-reading aid, not as a certainty engine. Position sizing, stop placement, execution quality, liquidity conditions, and broader market context remain the user's responsibility. If you use alerts, projected targets, or the quality score in a workflow, they should be interpreted within a broader decision process rather than in isolation.

Volume Profile█ VOLUME PROFILE Volume-at-Price Analysis with POC, VAH & VAL A powerful volume-at-price analysis overlay that calculates and visualizes the Point of Control (POC) , Value Area High (VAH) , and Value Area Low (VAL) directly on your chart. It reveals where the most trading activity occurred and provides real-time price position analysis — helping you identify high-probability support/resistance levels and mean-reversion zones. Free and Open Source. █ THE CONCEPT: WHY VOLUME PROFILE MATTERS Price charts show when trading happened. Volume Profile shows where it happened. The distribution of volume across price levels reveals the market's true valuation zones: Point of Control (POC) — The price with the highest accumulated volume. Acts as a magnet for price and the strongest single S/R level. Value Area (70%) — The range containing 70% of all traded volume. Defines what the market considers "fair value." Above/Below VA — Price outside the value area signals potential overextension or breakout. Institutional traders, market makers, and algorithmic systems all reference volume profile levels. █ CORE FEATURES 1. Volume Profile Engine Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across the price rows it spans, building a precise volume-at-price histogram: POC — Highest volume row = strongest support/resistance VAH — Upper boundary of the 70% value area = resistance VAL — Lower boundary of the 70% value area = support Row count is configurable (10-50 levels). 2. Profile Anchoring Three anchor modes control how the profile is built: Rolling — Continuously recalculated over the last N bars. Best for real-time analysis. Session — Resets every new trading day. Best for intraday context. Week — Resets every new trading week. Best for swing context. 3. Price Position Analysis Real-time classification of price relative to the value area: ABOVE VA — Potential overextension or breakout BELOW VA — Potential undervaluation or breakdown AT POC — High-probability mean-reversion zone IN VA — Normal trading range 4. Bounce & Rejection Signals Automatic detection of price interaction with key volume levels: POC Bounce Up/Down — Price touches POC and reverses VAL Rejection — Price tests VAL and bounces up (bullish) VAH Rejection — Price tests VAH and bounces down (bearish) 5. Volume Histogram Visualization A horizontal bar chart displayed directly on the price chart showing the volume distribution. POC row highlighted with a distinct color. █ AUTO-TIMEFRAME ADAPTATION All parameters automatically adjust based on the chart timeframe: 1-5 min → Lookback 30, 18 Rows, Histogram Width 8 15-30 min → Lookback 40, 20 Rows, Histogram Width 10 1 Hour → Lookback 50, 24 Rows, Histogram Width 15 4 Hour → Lookback 70, 28 Rows, Histogram Width 18 Daily → Lookback 100, 32 Rows, Histogram Width 22 Weekly+ → Lookback 150, 40 Rows, Histogram Width 30 █ DASHBOARD A compact, dark-themed info panel displaying: POC — Current Point of Control price level VAH / VAL — Value Area boundaries Position — Current price position (ABOVE VA / BELOW VA / AT POC / IN VA) To POC — Distance from current price to POC in percent Anchor — Active profile anchor mode VA Range — Width of the value area in price units █ ALERTS (4 CONDITIONS) POC Bounce Up — Bullish bounce off the Point of Control POC Bounce Down — Bearish bounce off the Point of Control VAL Rejection — Bullish rejection at Value Area Low VAH Rejection — Bearish rejection at Value Area High █ NON-REPAINTING The volume profile is calculated from confirmed bar data only. Rolling mode recalculates the full lookback window on each bar using historical high/low/volume — no future data is used. Session and Week modes accumulate incrementally within the anchor period. No repainting. █ WORKS ON Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Futures, Indices — any timeframe from 1 minute to Monthly. █ DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.

Volume & Volatility Companion█ VOLUME & VOLATILITY COMPANION (VVC) Complete Volume Dynamics & Volatility Analysis A comprehensive overlay indicator that combines anchored VWAP with standard-deviation bands , Bollinger Squeeze detection , volume strength analysis , and session level tracking — all with automatic timeframe adaptation. It gives you a complete read on volume dynamics and volatility conditions directly on your price chart. Free and Open Source. █ THE CONCEPT: WHY VOLUME + VOLATILITY TOGETHER? Volume and volatility are the two most overlooked edges in technical analysis. Price alone only tells half the story. Volume confirms conviction — a breakout on high volume is real, on low volume it's suspect. Volatility compression (squeeze) precedes explosive moves. VVC brings both dimensions together in one overlay so you never miss these critical signals. █ CORE FEATURES 1. VWAP + Standard Deviation Bands The Volume-Weighted Average Price acts as the institutional fair-value anchor: VWAP Line — Dynamic equilibrium price. Institutions track this level religiously. Band 1 (1 StdDev) — Inner value zone. Mean-reversion entries when price touches and bounces. Band 2 (2 StdDev) — Outer extreme zone. Overextension signals when price reaches here. Configurable anchor period: Session (daily), Week, or Month. 2. Bollinger Squeeze Detection Detects the classic volatility compression setup where Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels: Squeeze ON (red dots) — BB inside KC = low volatility, energy building Squeeze OFF (cyan dots) — Normal volatility Squeeze Release (diamond markers) — BB breaks out of KC after sustained compression = breakout imminent Momentum direction at release determines the breakout bias. 3. Volume Analysis Classifies each bar's volume relative to its moving average: EXTREME — Volume > 2.5x average (institutional footprint) HIGH — Volume > 1.5x average (above-average interest) NORMAL — Average range LOW — Volume < 0.5x average (thin market, low conviction) 4. Session Levels Key reference levels plotted directly on the chart: Session High/Low — Current intraday range boundaries Previous Day High/Low — Breakout/rejection levels Previous Day Close — Settlement level (bias reference) 5. Auto-Timeframe Adaptation All calculation parameters automatically adjust to your chart timeframe. Toggle to manual mode for full control. █ DASHBOARD A compact, dark-themed info panel showing: VWAP — Current position (ABOVE / BELOW / AT) + value Squeeze — ON with bar count or OFF BB Width — Percentage bandwidth for volatility context Volume — Classification (EXTREME / HIGH / NORMAL / LOW) + ratio vs MA Session — Current session range in price units █ ALERTS (4 CONDITIONS) Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze fires with upward momentum Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze fires with downward momentum Squeeze Building — Consecutive squeeze bars hit threshold Extreme Volume — Detected on any bar █ PRO VERSION The PRO version adds: MACD Analysis — Full MACD with signal/zero crossovers and divergence detection Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Net buying/selling pressure tracking Bull/Bear Confluence Scoring — Combined score from all modules for directional bias 5 Additional Alerts — MACD crosses, volume confirmation signals █ NON-REPAINTING VWAP uses cumulative volume data (non-repainting by design). Bollinger Squeeze uses standard BB/KC calculations. Volume analysis uses simple moving average. Previous day levels use confirmed daily data. No repainting. █ WORKS ON Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Futures, Indices — any timeframe from 1 minute to Weekly+. █ DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research and manage your risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

RTH Breaks + Midnight ConfluenceWHAT IT DOES RTH Breaks classifies each trading day at the 9:30 AM ET open into one of three scenarios based on where price opens relative to yesterday's Regular Trading Hours (RTH) range: - Gap Up: RTH opens above prior RTH high - Gap Down: RTH opens below prior RTH low - Inside Day: RTH opens within prior RTH range It then checks the midnight open (00:00 ET) as a confluence filter to determine whether the overnight session confirms or conflicts with the day's scenario. The combination produces a directional bias with a conviction rating. LEVELS PLOTTED - Prior RTH High and Low (horizontal lines) - Prior RTH Midline (midpoint of yesterday's RTH range) - Midnight Open (00:00 ET price) - Prior RTH Session Box (shaded rectangle showing yesterday's 9:30-16:00 range) - Current RTH Session Box (developing box for today's session) All levels, labels, boxes, and styles are fully configurable through inputs. HOW THE CONFLUENCE WORKS The indicator evaluates midnight alignment for each scenario: Gap Up days: - Midnight above prior RTH high = confirms (overnight participated in the breakout) - Midnight in the upper half of prior range = neutral (overnight leaned bullish) - Midnight below midline = conflicts (overnight did not participate) Gap Down days: - Midnight below prior RTH low = confirms - Midnight in the lower half = neutral - Midnight above midline = conflicts Inside days: - Both RTH open and midnight on the same side of the midline = confirms (double confirmation) - RTH open and midnight on opposite sides = conflicts CONVICTION LEVELS Based on the alignment, the indicator assigns a conviction: - HIGH: Midnight confirms the scenario. Strongest directional edge. - MODERATE: Gap down with neutral midnight. Edge exists but thinner. - REDUCED: Inside day with midnight conflict. Bias drops significantly. - SKIP: Gap up with midnight conflict. Reversal risk is elevated. - LOW: Gap down with midnight conflict. - MAGNET: Inside day where midnight is parked near the opposite pRTH boundary (within 20% of range). The midline directional bias is overridden -- the indicator flips direction toward the boundary midnight is near. THE MAGNET OVERRIDE (INSIDE DAYS) On inside days, when the RTH open and midnight conflict AND midnight is within 20% of the pRTH range from the opposite boundary, the midline bias is neutralized. For example: RTH opens above the midline (normally bullish), but midnight sits near the prior RTH low. The standard 2.9x long bias drops to approximately 1.0x. The indicator detects this and flips the direction toward the magnet boundary. This effect was observed consistently on NQ and ES. GC (Gold) is less affected by the magnet override due to stronger trend persistence. THE TABLE A confluence table displays: - Scenario classification (Gap Up / Gap Down / Inside) - RTH open position vs midline - Midnight position vs midline - Alignment status (confirms / conflicts) - Conviction level - Directional bias (Long / Short) - Edge description - Breakout probability (inside days: 81-84% break at least one boundary) - Magnet warning (when applicable) The table supports Dark, Light, Transparent, and Custom themes. METHODOLOGY AND BACKTEST BASIS The conviction levels, directional statistics, and magnet override thresholds are derived from a cross-asset probability study: - Instruments: NQ (Nasdaq 100), ES (S&P 500), GC (Gold) - Period: 2016 to 2026 (10 years) - Total trading days analyzed: approximately 5,700 - Data: 1-minute bars, New York timezone - RTH definition: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET Key findings from the study: Gap days: When the RTH open gaps outside yesterday's range and midnight confirms the gap direction, 67-80% of days close on the gap side. When midnight conflicts, reversal rates increase from 8-16% to 19-35% depending on instrument. Inside days: When both RTH open and midnight are on the same side of the midline, the directional bias ratio is 2.4x to 3.5x toward the nearer boundary. When they conflict, the ratio drops to 1.6x to 2.9x. Magnet override: When midnight is within 20% of range from the opposite boundary on a conflict day, the bias ratio drops to approximately 1.0x on NQ (effectively flat). This was tested across multiple threshold levels (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%) and the effect was stable. Boundary containment: 86-93% of gap up days never breach the prior RTH low. 87-93% of gap down days never breach the prior RTH high. This containment rate improves when midnight confirms. HOW TO USE IT 1. Apply the indicator to any intraday chart (1-minute to 60-minute) of NQ, ES, or GC futures. 2. Before or at 9:30 AM ET, the table displays "waiting" until the RTH open classifies the day. 3. At the RTH open, check the Scenario, Direction, and Conviction fields. 4. HIGH conviction with a clear direction = strongest setup. SKIP or LOW = elevated risk. 5. On inside days, watch for the MAGNET conviction -- this overrides the midline direction. 6. Use the prior RTH high/low as targets and the midline as a reference for position within the range. The indicator works on any instrument with US RTH hours (9:30-16:00 ET), but the statistical edge descriptions in the table are calibrated for NQ, ES, and GC. On other instruments, a note appears in the table header. INPUTS Levels: Toggle pRTH High/Low, Midline, Midnight Open, and Labels independently. Label size is configurable. Session Boxes: Toggle prior RTH and current RTH session boxes. Box fill and border colors are configurable. Line Style: Width and style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) for each level type. Table: Position (four corners), size, and theme (Dark/Light/Transparent/Custom with full color control). Colors: Independent color inputs for High, Low, Midline, Midnight, Bullish signals, and Bearish signals. TIMEFRAME RESTRICTION This indicator is restricted to intraday charts of 60 minutes or less. Higher timeframes (2H, 4H, Daily) smear session boundaries and produce unreliable midnight anchoring. The indicator will display an error if applied to an unsupported timeframe. ALERTS Six alert conditions are available: - Gap Up HIGH conviction - Gap Up SKIP - Gap Down HIGH conviction - Gap Down LOW conviction - Inside Day Double Confirm (HIGH) - Inside Day Conflict (REDUCED) - Inside Day Magnet Override All alerts fire at the RTH open bar (9:30 AM ET).

Sessions Highs and Lows Unmitigated + 12AM Divider Sessions High and Lows Unmitigated & 12AM Divider It keeps track of which session highs and lows price hasn't touched yet, and removes them the second it does. Every X2 Asia, London, and New York session gets its high and low plotted as a simple horizontal line. Those lines follow price forward in real time, staying visible for as long as the level is still unmitigated. The moment price trades through one, it's gone. It tracks the last two sessions per killzone, so you always have context without the chart getting messy. There's also a dotted midnight line marking each new trading day — clean, subtle, and easy to reference without adding any real noise. Works on crypto too — weekends included, no gaps in the midnight lines. You can adjust: — Line colour per session — Line width — Every session and carry window to match your timezone and workflow Where it's most useful: — Seeing at a glance which session highs and lows are still unmitigated and worth watching — Building confluence around entries using real, current session structure — Knowing immediately whether a level has already been delivered or is still pending No boxes. No fills. No noise. Just the levels that matter. Enjoy. :)

Vortex Confluence Protocol [JOAT]Vortex Confluence Protocol - Strategy Introduction The Vortex Confluence Protocol is an open-source strategy that combines market structure analysis, momentum filtering, volume confirmation, multi-timeframe alignment, session awareness, liquidity analysis, and smart money concepts into a multi-layer confluence scoring system. A trade is only taken when enough independent factors agree on direction, producing a confluence score that meets a configurable minimum threshold. The strategy includes ATR-based stop losses, risk-reward take profits, and an optional trailing stop, all designed around realistic risk management principles. Built with Pine Script v6, the strategy uses custom types for trade state, confluence scoring, quantum state, liquidity state, smart money state, and market regime detection. Why This Strategy Exists Most strategies rely on one or two conditions for entry — a moving average crossover, an RSI level, or a pattern match. These single-factor approaches are fragile because they lack confirmation from other market dimensions. The Vortex Confluence Protocol takes the opposite approach: it requires agreement across multiple independent analytical layers before committing capital. This multi-factor design aims to: Reduce false signals: By requiring confluence from structure, momentum, volume, and MTF analysis simultaneously, the strategy filters out low-conviction setups Adapt to market conditions: The regime filter (ADX-based) prevents trend-following entries during ranging markets and vice versa Enforce discipline: The confluence scoring system makes the entry criteria explicit and quantifiable, removing subjective judgment from the entry decision Manage risk systematically: ATR-based stops, configurable risk-reward ratios, and trailing stops provide a structured risk management framework Strategy Default Properties The strategy is published with the following default properties, which are critical to understanding the backtesting results: Initial Capital: $100,000 Position Size: 2% of equity per trade Commission: 0.1% per trade (round-trip 0.2%) Slippage: 2 ticks per order Pyramiding: 0 (no adding to positions) Risk Per Trade: 1.0% of account Risk:Reward Ratio: 2.0 (target is 2x the stop distance) These defaults are intentionally conservative. The commission and slippage settings are included to produce realistic results that account for real-world execution costs. The 2% position size and 1% risk per trade ensure that no single trade can significantly damage the account. Core Components Explained 1. Market Structure Analysis The strategy uses pivot-based swing detection to identify the market's structural direction. It tracks swing highs and swing lows, then classifies structural events: Break of Structure (BOS): Price breaks above the last swing high (bullish BOS) or below the last swing low (bearish BOS), confirming the existing trend Change of Character (CHoCH): Price breaks a previous swing point against the current trend direction, signaling a potential reversal The structure direction variable tracks the prevailing bias. When `requireBOS` is enabled (default), the strategy requires a fresh BOS or CHoCH event for entry, ensuring trades are taken at structurally significant moments rather than during drift. 2. FVG Confluence Fair Value Gaps are detected using the standard three-bar pattern, filtered by a minimum size of 0.3x ATR. The strategy maintains arrays of active FVGs and checks whether current price is inside any bullish or bearish FVG zone. When `requireFVG` is enabled (default), the strategy requires price to be within an FVG zone aligned with the trade direction, adding an imbalance-based confirmation layer. bool bullFVG = low > high and close > open bool bearFVG = high < low and close < open FVG zones older than 30 bars are automatically cleaned up to prevent stale zones from influencing current decisions. 3. Momentum Analysis The momentum layer uses RSI with configurable length (default 14) and overbought/oversold levels (default 70/30). The RSI is smoothed with a 3-period EMA, and its rate of change is calculated to determine momentum direction: Bullish momentum: Smoothed RSI above 50, RSI rising, and not overbought Bearish momentum: Smoothed RSI below 50, RSI falling, and not oversold The strategy also detects RSI divergences as additional context, though divergences alone do not trigger entries. 4. Volume Analysis Volume confirmation requires the current volume to exceed a configurable multiple (default 1.2x) of the volume moving average. Additionally, the strategy estimates buying and selling volume using candle structure and calculates cumulative delta over 10 bars: Bullish volume: High relative volume + positive delta + positive cumulative delta Bearish volume: High relative volume + negative delta + negative cumulative delta Volume anomalies (Z-score > 2.0) receive a bonus point in the confluence scoring system. 5. Multi-Timeframe Filter The MTF filter fetches close, EMA, and RSI from a configurable higher timeframe (default 60m) using `request.security()` with `barmerge.lookahead_off` to prevent repainting. The higher timeframe trend must agree with the trade direction: int htfTrend = htfClose > htfEMA ? 1 : htfClose < htfEMA ? -1 : 0 bool mtfBullish = htfTrend > 0 and htfRSI > 50 This ensures trades are taken in the direction of the larger trend, filtering out counter-trend entries that have lower win rates. 6. Session and Regime Filters The session filter restricts trading to a configurable active session (default 0800-1600 EST). Trading outside of liquid market hours often produces worse fills and more erratic price action. The regime filter uses ADX to classify the market as trending (ADX > 25) or ranging. In a trending regime, the strategy only takes trades in the trend direction. In a ranging regime, both directions are allowed. This prevents the strategy from fighting strong trends.

Confluence Scoring System The heart of the strategy is the confluence scoring system. Each analytical layer contributes points to a total score: Structure: 1 point for structural direction alignment, +1 bonus if price is in an aligned FVG Momentum: 1 point for momentum alignment Volume: 1 point for volume confirmation, +1 bonus for anomaly MTF: 1 point for higher timeframe alignment Session: 1 point if within active session Liquidity: 1 point for medium+ liquidity level, +1 bonus for sweep Quantum: 1 point for quantum collapse, +1 bonus for high coherence Smart Money: 1 point for positive SM score, +1 bonus for clear accumulation/distribution Harmonic: 1 point for harmonic alignment The total score must meet the minimum confluence threshold (default 3) for an entry to be considered. Additionally, all directional filters must agree — structure, momentum, MTF, volume, session, quantum, and smart money must all either support the direction or be disabled. 8. Risk Management Stop Loss: Calculated as the tighter of two values: the ATR-based stop (close minus ATR * SL multiplier) or the recent swing low minus a small ATR buffer (for longs). This ensures the stop is placed at a structurally meaningful level. if isLong sl := math.min(close - atrVal * slATRMult, _recentLow - atrVal * 0.2) Take Profit: Calculated as the entry price plus the stop distance multiplied by the risk-reward ratio (default 2.0). A 2:1 RR means the strategy needs to win only 34% of trades to break even (before commissions). Trailing Stop: When enabled, the trailing stop follows price at a distance of ATR * trail multiplier (default 2.0). It only moves in the favorable direction, locking in profits as the trade progresses. The trailing stop updates the exit order dynamically. Entry Conditions Summary A long entry requires ALL of the following: Long trades enabled Confluence score >= minimum threshold Structure direction is bullish Momentum is not bearish (or momentum filter disabled) MTF is not bearish (or MTF filter disabled) Volume is not bearish (or volume filter disabled) Within active session (or session filter disabled) Regime allows longs Quantum superposition is positive (or quantum filter disabled) Smart money score is non-negative (or SM filter disabled) Price is in a bullish FVG (if requireFVG enabled) A BOS or CHoCH has occurred (if requireBOS enabled) No existing position Short entries require the inverse conditions. Backtesting Considerations Important notes about the published results: Results include 0.1% commission per trade and 2 ticks slippage to simulate realistic execution The strategy uses 2% of equity per trade, not 100% — this significantly reduces both returns and drawdowns compared to full-equity strategies Pyramiding is disabled (0), meaning only one position can be open at a time The strategy does not use leverage beyond what the position size implies Results will vary significantly across different instruments, timeframes, and market conditions Past performance does not indicate future results Parameter sensitivity: The minimum confluence score is the most impactful parameter. Lower values (2-3) produce more trades but with lower average quality. Higher values (4-5) produce fewer, higher-quality trades but may miss valid setups. The default of 3 represents a balance between trade frequency and quality. Optimization warning: Over-optimizing parameters to fit historical data will produce misleading results. The default parameters are designed to be reasonable across a range of instruments rather than perfectly fitted to any single one. If you adjust parameters, test across multiple instruments and time periods to verify robustness. Sample size: For meaningful statistical analysis, ensure the backtest produces at least 100 trades. On higher timeframes or with high confluence requirements, you may need to extend the backtest period to achieve sufficient sample size.

Review the default settings and adjust the session times and timezone to match your market. Step 2: Run the backtest and review the results. Check the total number of trades — if fewer than 100, consider lowering the minimum confluence score or extending the backtest period. Step 3: Review the equity curve for consistency. A healthy equity curve shows steady growth without extreme drawdowns. Large drawdowns followed by recovery may indicate the strategy is taking excessive risk. Step 4: Use the dashboard to understand why trades are being taken. The confluence score breakdown shows which factors are contributing to each entry. Step 5: If adapting parameters, change one at a time and test across multiple instruments. Avoid optimizing all parameters simultaneously, as this leads to curve-fitting. Step 6: Consider using the strategy's signals as a filter for manual trading rather than as a fully automated system. The confluence score provides a quantified measure of setup quality that can inform discretionary decisions. Strategy Limitations The strategy uses market orders for entry, which means execution price may differ from the signal price, especially on volatile instruments or during news events Delta and volume analysis use candle-structure estimation, not actual order flow data. This is an approximation. The multi-factor requirement means the strategy will miss valid moves that only satisfy some conditions. This is by design — it prioritizes quality over quantity. Backtesting results assume orders are filled at the close of the signal bar. Real-world execution may differ. The strategy does not account for overnight gaps, dividend adjustments, or corporate events that can cause sudden price changes Higher confluence requirements reduce trade frequency, which may not suit traders who need frequent activity The regime filter uses ADX, which has an inherent lag in detecting regime changes Commission and slippage settings should be adjusted to match your actual broker costs for accurate backtesting Originality Statement This strategy is original in its multi-layer confluence scoring approach. While individual components (structure detection, RSI, volume analysis, MTF filtering) are established concepts, this strategy is justified because: It synthesizes nine independent analytical layers into a quantified confluence scoring system, providing a structured framework for multi-factor trade evaluation The regime-aware filtering automatically adjusts entry criteria based on ADX-detected market conditions Liquidity analysis with sweep detection and absorption ratio adds an institutional activity layer not found in standard multi-factor strategies The quantum coherence scoring provides a novel metric for measuring the consistency of agreement across all analytical layers Smart money phase detection (accumulation/distribution) adds a Wyckoff-inspired context layer to the entry decision The risk management system combines structural stop placement (recent swing + ATR buffer) with dynamic trailing, providing both initial protection and profit locking All entry conditions are explicit and quantifiable, making the strategy fully transparent and reproducible Disclaimer This strategy is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Backtesting results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future performance. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The strategy's results depend heavily on the instrument, timeframe, and market conditions. Commission, slippage, and execution quality in live trading may differ significantly from backtesting assumptions. Always use proper risk management, including position sizing appropriate for your account size and risk tolerance. Never risk more than you can afford to lose.
