Volume Profile + Pivot Levels [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Volume Profile + Pivot Levels combines a rolling volume profile with price pivots to surface the most meaningful levels in your selected lookback window. It builds a left-side profile from traded volume, highlights the session’s Point of Control (PoC) , and then filters pivot highs/lows so only those aligned with significant profile volume are promoted to chart levels. Each promoted level extends forward until price retests it—so your chart stays focused on levels that actually matter.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Rolling Volume Profile (Period & Resolution)
Calculates a profile over the last Period bars (default 200). The profile is discretized into Volume Profile Resolution bins (default 50) between the highest high and lowest low inside the window. Each bin accumulates traded volume and is drawn as a smooth left-side polyline for compact, lightweight rendering.
HL = array.new()
// collect highs/lows over 'start' bars to define profile range
for i = 0 to start - 1
HL.push(high ), HL.push(low )
H = HL.max(), L = HL.min()
bin_size = (H - L) / bins
// accumulate per-bin volume
for i = 0 to bins - 1
for j = 0 to start - 1
if close >= (L + bin_sizei) - bin_size and close < (L + bin_size*(i+1)) + bin_size
Bins += volume
Delta-Aware Coloring
The script tracks up-minus-down volume across all period to compute a net Delta . The profile, PoC line, and PoC label adopt a teal tone when net positive, and maroon when net negative—an immediate read on buyer/seller dominance inside the window.
Point of Control (PoC) + Volume Label
Automatically marks the highest-volume bin as the PoC . A horizontal PoC line extends to the last bar, and a label shows the absolute volume at the PoC. Toggle visibility via PoC input.
Pivot Detection with Volume Filter
Identifies raw pivots using Length (default 10) on both sides of the bar. Each candidate pivot is then validated against the profile: only pivots that land within their bin and meet or exceed the Filter % threshold (percentage of PoC volume) are promoted to chart levels. This removes weak, low-participation pivots.
// pivot promotion when volume% >= pivotFilter
if abs(mid - p.value) <= bin_size and volPercent >= pivotFilter
// draw labeled pivot level
line.new(p.index - pivotLength, p.value, p.index + pivotLength, p.value, width = 2)
Forward-Extending, Self-Stopping Levels
Promoted pivot levels extend forward as dotted rays. As soon as price intersects a level (high/low straddles it), that level stops extending—so your chart doesn’t clutter with stale zones.
Concise Level Labels (Volume + %)
Each promoted pivot prints a compact label at the pivot bar with its bin’s absolute volume and percentage of PoC volume (ordering flips for highs vs. lows for quick read).
Lightweight Visuals
The volume profile is rendered as a smooth polyline rather than dozens of boxes, keeping charts responsive even at higher resolutions.
⯁ SETTINGS
Volume Profile → Period : Lookback window used to compute the profile (max 500).
Volume Profile → Resolution : Number of bins; higher = finer structure.
Volume Profile → PoC : Toggle PoC line and volume label.
Pivots → Display : Show/hide volume-validated pivot levels.
Pivots → Length : Pivot detection left/right bars.
Pivots → Filter % 0–100 : Minimum bin strength (as % of PoC) required to promote a pivot level.
⯁ USAGE
Read PoC direction/color for a quick net-flow bias within your window.
Prioritize promoted pivot levels —they’re backed by meaningful participation.
Watch for first retests of promoted levels; the line will stop extending once tested.
Adjust Period / Resolution to match your timeframe (scalps → higher resolution, shorter period; swings → lower resolution, longer period).
Tighten or loosen Filter % to control how selective the level promotion is.
⯁ WHY IT’S UNIQUE
Instead of plotting every pivot or every profile bar, this tool cross-checks pivots against the profile’s internal volume weighting . You only see levels where price structure and liquidity overlap—clean, data-driven levels that self-retire after interaction, so you can focus on what the market actually defends.
Indicators and strategies
Machine Learning-Inspired Supply & Demand Zones [AlgoPoint]This indicator is a Smart Supply & Demand Zone tool, developed with principles inspired by Machine Learning (ML). It intelligently filters out market noise, allowing you to focus only on the most significant zones where institutional order flow is likely present.
💡 How It Works: Why Is This Indicator "Smart"?
Unlike traditional indicators that only measure simple price movements, this script uses an algorithm that asks the same critical questions an experienced market analyst would to qualify a zone:
- 1. Price Imbalance: How fast and aggressively did the price leave the zone? Our algorithm measures the body size of the "departure candle" relative to the current market volatility (ATR). A zone is only considered if it was formed by an explosive move that is statistically significant, indicating a major imbalance between buyers and sellers.
- 2. Volume Confirmation: Did the "smart money" participate in this move? The script checks if the volume on the departure candle was significantly higher than the recent average volume. A spike in volume confirms that the move was backed by institutional interest, adding strength and validity to the zone.
- 3. Valid Pivot Structure: Did the zone originate from a meaningful swing high or low? The algorithm first identifies a valid pivot structure, ensuring that zones are not drawn from insignificant or random price fluctuations.
Only when a potential zone passes these three critical tests—our "quality filter"—is it drawn on your chart.
🚀 Features & How to Use
Using the indicator is straightforward. You will see two primary types of boxes on your chart:
* 🟥 Red Box (Supply Zone): An area of potential resistance where selling pressure is likely to be strong. Look for potential shorting opportunities as the price approaches this zone.
* 🟩 Green Box (Demand Zone): An area of potential support where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Look for potential long opportunities as the price pulls back into this zone.
Dynamic Zone Management
This indicator is not static; it lives and breathes with the market:
- Fresh Zone: A newly formed zone appears in its full, vibrant color. These are the highest-probability zones as they have not yet been re-tested.
- Broken / Flipped Zone: You have full control over what happens when a zone is broken! In the settings, you can choose:
- Delete Zone: The zone will be removed completely when the price closes through it.
- Show as Broken (Flip): When broken, the zone will turn gray, stop extending, and remain on your chart. This is extremely useful for identifying Support/Resistance Flips, where a broken demand zone becomes new resistance, or a broken supply zone becomes new support.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
Fine-tune the indicator to match your personal trading style via the settings menu:
- Breakout Behavior: The most powerful feature. Choose between Delete Zone and Show as Broken (Flip) to customize your chart.
- Zone Finding Logic: Control the indicator's sensitivity.
- Selective: Requires both strong imbalance and high volume. Finds fewer, but higher-quality, zones.
- Moderate: Requires either strong imbalance or high volume. Finds more potential zones.
- Sensitivity Settings: Adjust the ATR Multiplier and Volume Multiplier to make the criteria for a "strong" zone stricter or looser.
BE-Fib Channel 2 Sided Trading█ Overview:
"BE-Fib Channel 2 Sided Trading" indicator is built with the thought of 2 profound setups named "Cup & Handle (C&H)" and "Fibonacci Channel Trading (FCT)" with the context of "day trading" or with a minimum holding period.
█ Similarities, Day Trading Context & Error Patterns:
While the known fact is that both C&H and FCT provide setups with lesser risk with bigger returns, they both share the similar "Base Pattern".
Note: Inverse of the above Image shall switch the setups between long vs short.
Since the indicator is designed for smaller time-frame candles, there may be instances where the "base pattern" does not visually resemble a Cup & Handle (C&H) pattern. However, patterns are validated using pivot points. The points labeled "A" and "C" can be equal or slightly slanted. Settings of the Indicator allows traders a flexibility to control the angle of these points to spot the strategies according to set conditions. Therefore, understanding the nuances of these patterns is crucial for effective decision-making.
█ 2 Sided Edge: FCT suggests to take trade closer to the yellow line to get better RR ratio. this leaves a small chance of doubt as to; what if price is intended to break the Yellow line thereby activating the C&H.
Wait for the confirmation is a Big FOMO with a compromised RR.
Hence, This indicator is designed to handle both the patterns based on the strength, FIFO and pattern occurring delay.
█ How to Use this Indicator:
Step 1: Enable the Show Sample Sensitivity option to understand the angle of yellow line shown in the sample image. By enabling this option, On the last bar you shall see 4 lines being plotted depicting the max angle which is acceptable for both long and short trades.
Note: Angle can be controlled via setting "Sensitivity".
Higher Sensitivity --> Higher Setup identification --> can lead to failed setups due to 2 sided trading.
Lower Sensitivity --> Lower Setup identification --> can increase the changes of being right.
Step 2: Adjust the look back & look forward periods which shall be used for identifying patterns.
Note: Smaller values can lead to more setups being identified but can hamper the performance of the indicator while increasing the chances of failures. larger values identifies more significant setup but leads to more waiting period thereby compromising on the RR.
Step 3: Adjust the Base Range.
Note: Smaller values can lead to more setups being identified but can hamper the performance of the indicator while increasing the chances of failures. larger values identifies more significant setup but leads to more Risk on play.
Step 4: set the Entry level for FCT & Set the SL for Both FCT & C&H and Target Reward ratio for C&H.
█ Features of Indicator & How it works:
1. Patterns are being identified using Pivot Points method.
2. Tracks & validates both the setups simultaneously on every candle and traded one at a time based on FIFO, New setups found in-between, Defined Entry Levels while on wait for the other pattern to get activated.
3. Alerts added for trade events.
4. FCT setups are generally traded with trailed SL level and increasing Target level on every completed bar. while C&H has the standard SL & TP level with no Trail SL option.

Ultra Volume DetectorNative Volume — Auto Levels + Ultra Label
What it does
This indicator classifies volume bars into four categories — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — using rolling percentile thresholds. Instead of fixed cutoffs, it adapts dynamically to recent market activity, making it useful across different symbols and timeframes. Ultra-high volume bars are highlighted with labels showing compacted values (K/M/B/T) and the appropriate unit (shares, contracts, ticks, etc.).
Core Logic
Dynamic thresholds: Calculates percentile levels (e.g., 50th, 80th, 98th) over a user-defined window of bars.
Categorization: Bars are colored by category (Low/Med/High/Ultra).
Ultra labeling: Only Ultra bars are labeled, preventing chart clutter.
Optional MA: A moving average of raw volume can be plotted for context.
Alerts: Supports both alert condition for Ultra events and dynamic alert() messages that include the actual volume value at bar close.
How to use
Adjust window size: Larger windows (e.g., 200+) provide stable thresholds; smaller windows react more quickly.
Set percentiles: Typical defaults are 50 for Medium, 80 for High, and 98 for Ultra. Lower the Ultra percentile to see more frequent signals, or raise it to isolate only extreme events.
Read chart signals:
Bar colors show the category.
Labels appear only on Ultra bars.
Alerts can be set up for automatic notification when Ultra volume occurs.
Why it’s unique
Adaptive: Uses rolling statistics, not static thresholds.
Cross-asset ready: Adjusts units automatically depending on instrument type.
Efficient visualization: Focuses labels only on the most significant events, reducing noise.

Support and Resistance levels from Options DataINTRODUCTION
This script is designed to visualize key support and resistance levels derived from options data on TradingView charts. It overlays lines, labels, and boxes to highlight levels such as Put Walls (gamma support), Call Walls (gamma resistance), Gamma Flip points, Vanna levels, and more.
These levels are intended to help traders identify potential areas of price magnetism, reversal, or breakout based on options market dynamics. All calculations and visualizations are based on user-provided data pasted into the input field, as Pine Script cannot directly fetch external options data due to platform limitations (explained below).
For convenience, my website allows users to interact with a bot that will generate the string for up to 30 tickers at once getting nearly real-time data on demand (data is cached for 15min). With the output string pasted into this indicator, it's a bliss to shuffle through your portfolio and see those levels for each ticker.
The script is open-source under TradingView's terms, allowing users to study, modify, and improve it. It draws inspiration from common options-derived metrics like gamma exposure and vanna, which are widely discussed in financial literature. No external code is copied without rights; all logic is original or based on standard mathematical formulas.
How the Options Levels Are Calculated
The levels displayed by this script are not computed within Pine Script itself—instead, they rely on pre-calculated values provided by the user (via a pasted data string). These values are derived from options chain data fetched from financial APIs (e.g., using libraries like yfinance in Python). Here's a step-by-step overview of how these levels are generally calculated externally before being input into the script:
Fetching Options Data:
Historical and current options chain data for a ticker (e.g., strikes, open interest, volume, implied volatility, expirations) is retrieved for near-term expirations (e.g., up to 90 days).
Current stock price is obtained from recent history.
Gamma Support (Put Wall) and Resistance (Call Wall):
Gamma Calculation: For each option, gamma (the rate of change of delta) is computed using the Black-Scholes formula:
gamma = N'(d1) / (S * sigma * sqrt(T))
where S is the stock price, K is the strike, T is time to expiration (in years), sigma is implied volatility, r is the risk-free rate (e.g., 0.0445), and N'(d1) is the normal probability density function.
Weighted gamma is multiplied by open interest and aggregated by strike.
The Put Wall is the strike below the current price with the highest weighted gamma from puts (acting as support).
The Call Wall is the strike above the current price with the highest weighted gamma from calls (acting as resistance).
Short-term versions focus on strikes closer to the money (e.g., within 10-15% of the price).
Gamma Flip Level:
Net dealer gamma exposure (GEX) is calculated across all strikes:
GEX = sum (gamma * OI * 100 * S^2 * sign * decay)
where sign is +1 for calls/-1 for puts, and decay is 1 / sqrt(T).
The flip point is the price where net GEX changes sign (from positive to negative or vice versa), interpolated between strikes.
Vanna Levels:
Vanna (sensitivity of delta to volatility) is calculated:
vanna = -N'(d1) * d2 / sigma
where d2 = d1 - sigma * sqrt(T).
Weighted by open interest, the highest positive and negative vanna strikes are identified.
Other Levels:
S1/R1: Significant strikes with high combined open interest and volume (80% OI + 20% volume), below/above price for support/resistance.
Implied Move: ATM implied volatility scaled by S * sigma * sqrt(d/365) (e.g., for 7 days).
Call/Put Ratio: Total call contracts divided by put contracts (OI + volume).
IV Percentage: Average ATM implied volatility.
Options Activity Level: Average contracts per unique strike, binned into levels (0-4).
Stop Loss: Dynamically set below the lowest support (e.g., Put Wall, Gamma Flip), adjusted by IV (tighter in low IV).
Fib Target: 1.618 extension from Put Wall to Call Wall range.
Previous day levels are stored for comparison (e.g., to detect Call Wall movement >2.5% for alerts).
Effect as Support and Resistance in Technical Trading
Options levels like gamma walls influence price action due to market maker hedging:
Put Wall (Gamma Support): High put gamma below price creates a "magnet" effect—market makers buy stock as price falls, providing support. Traders might look for bounces here as entry points for longs.
Call Wall (Gamma Resistance): High call gamma above price leads to selling pressure from hedging, acting as resistance. Rejections here could signal trims, sells or even shorts.
Gamma Flip: Where gamma exposure flips sign, often a volatility pivot—crossing it can accelerate moves (bullish above, bearish below).
Vanna Levels: Positive/negative vanna indicate volatility sensitivity; crosses may signal regime shifts.
Implied Move: Shows expected range; prices outside suggest overextension.
S1/R1 and Fib Target: Volume/OI clusters act as classic S/R; Fib extensions project upside targets post-breakout.
In trading, these are not guarantees—combine with TA (e.g., volume, trends). High activity levels imply stronger effects; low CP ratio suggests bearish sentiment. Alerts trigger on proximities/crosses for awareness, not advice.
Limitations of the TradingView Platform for Data Pulling
TradingView's Pine Script is sandboxed for security and performance:
No direct internet access or API calls (e.g., can't fetch yfinance data in-script).
Limited to chart data/symbol info; no real-time options chains.
Inputs are static per load; updates require manual pasting.
Caching isn't persistent across sessions.
This prevents dynamic data pulling, ensuring scripts remain lightweight but requiring external tools for fresh data.
Creative Solution for On-Demand Data Pulling
To overcome these limitations, users can use external tools or scripts (e.g., Python-based) to fetch and compute levels on demand. The tool processes tickers, generates a formatted string (e.g., "TICKER:level1,level2,...;TIMESTAMP:unix;"), and users paste it into the script's input. This keeps data fresh without violating platform rules, as computation happens off-platform. For example, run a local script to query APIs and output the string—adaptable for any ticker.
Script Functionality Breakdown
Inputs: Custom data string (parsed for levels/timestamp); toggles for short-term/previous/Vanna/stop loss; style options (colors, transparency).
Parsing: Extracts levels for the chart symbol; gets timestamp for "updated ago" display.
Drawing: Lines/labels for levels; boxes for gamma zones/implied move; clears old elements on updates.
Info Panel: Top-right summary with metrics (CP ratio, IV, distances, activity); emojis for quick status.
Alerts: Conditions for proximities, crosses, bounces (e.g., 0.5% bounce from Put Wall).
Performance: Uses vars for persistence; efficient for real-time.
This script is educational—test thoroughly. Not financial advice; past performance isn't indicative of future results. Feedback welcome via TradingView comments.

Machine Learning Z-Score Buy and Sell [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this Z-Score based buy and sell indicator.
What it does
This indicator:
Uses Z-score and trend to identify potential buy and sell areas.
Signals those buy and sell areas and provides a target price based on the mean.
Plots the target price for buy and sell signals as a red line (for sell signals) or green line (for buy signals).
Has some "machine learning" aspects, namely, it is able to auto select its lookback length based on its analysis of the trend using Pienscript's trend correlation function iterated over multiple lengths, in order for the indicator to identify:
a) The strongest trend; and
b) The correct target price
What is Z-Score
Z-Score is a measure of the mean. Thus, this is a mean reverting type strategy, as it uses z-score to determine price's distance from the mean (or a Z-Score of 0) and then it looks at historic deviations from the mean to signal the buy and sell signals (i.e. how far has price traditionally drifted from the mean before reverting).
Z-Score is a powerful tool in this sense, and if you folow my other indicators, you will know how much I love Z-score!
How to use the indicator
If you want to use the full Machine Learning capabilities of the indicator, its best to just leave all default settings. These default settings will automatically adjust the mean target price and buy and sell signals to align with the current price action.
If you want to be more aggressive in your
Target Price; and
Signals
Then you can opt to manually input a lookback length and mean reversion standard deviation. However, I generally suggest to avoid this as you are then making your own determination of trend by qualitative assessment. It can work, but its just not suggested.
In the input menu, you will see the option to "Manually select lookback" thus over-riding the auto-determination of trend and targets.
You will also see "manual pullback" enabler and "Pullback Standard Deviation". You can set your pullback standard deviation if you want to be more aggressive. The indicator will naturally shift to conservative target prices based on a neutral mean. However, if you want to increase the aggressiveness of the target price, you can increase or decrease the pullback standard deviation.
General Tips about Manually Adjusting Pullback Target
Here are some tips if you want to manually adjust the pullback targets:
The pullback target needs to be in a standard deviation value, this can be anywhere from 0 to 4 or 0 to -4 (you can theoretically go higher but its not really realistic). You can also do decimals, so 1.5 or 1.25 etc.
To determine whether you should be doing negative or positive standard deviation, you should determine the trend. If it is a downtrend and you are looking to short the rips, you will want to select a negative number, like -1.
If it is an uptrend and you want to buy the dips, you should be selecting a positive number, like 1 or 1.5.
Again, I do suggest leaving the indicator to decide for itself, but the options are there for those who wish.
Overall strategy
This is a mean reverting strategy. So if you are a mean reversion trader, this may be of particular interest to you.
Optional
Optionally, you can have the indicator plot the target prices or not, simply toggle this functionality off or on in the settings menu.
Concluding remarks
That is the indicator in a nutshell!
I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.
Feel free to check out my other Z-Score based indicators if you find this interesting or want to learn more about the power of Z-Score in trading!
Thanks all and safe trades!
Three-Bar Reversal/ContinuationThis indicator identifies a three-bar expansion pattern based on range and volume, designed to highlight moments when the market pushes strongly, pauses, and then resumes with confirmation.
Detection Logic
* Bar (two bars ago) must show sufficient strength, determined by the number of conditions met.
* Bar (one bar ago) must be neutral (strength = 0), marking a brief pause.
*Bar (current bar) must continue the expansion, with range and volume greater than the prior bar.
(Bar is used as a safeguard to prevent repeated detection during ongoing strong moves)
Strength Scoring
Each bar is scored 0–3 based on which of the following conditions it satisfies:
* Range exceeds a multiple of the recent average
* Volume exceeds a multiple of the recent average
* Range × volume exceeds a multiple of the recent average
The detection level input controls how many of these conditions must hold to classify a bar as “strong.” This allows tuning from permissive (1 condition) to strict (all 3 conditions).
Parameters & Utility
* length: Lookback period for moving averages of span, volume, and span×volume. Larger values smooth the averages, reducing false positives; smaller values increase sensitivity.
* coeff: Multiplicative threshold to define an unusually strong bar. Higher values reduce frequency but increase reliability.
* detectLevel: Minimum number of conditions that must be met for a bar to count as “strong.”
* showCont: Whether to allow continuation signals away from local extrema (if false, only reversals near highs/lows are considered).
* symbolUp / symbolDown: Customizable plotting symbols for bullish/bearish signals.
* showStrength: Plots tiny dots indicating the strength of each bar (1–3).
Rationale
This structure captures a recurring market motif: strong push → brief pause → renewed push, where the renewed activity is confirmed by both price expansion and volume. Using a combination of statistical thresholds (range, volume, range×volume) and price structure ensures that signals are both measurable and visually interpretable.
Usage Notes
* This setup allows traders to visually or systematically identify potential reversal or continuation points while controlling sensitivity to noise.
* Designed as a mechanical filter rather than a fully automated trading system. Signals highlight notable activity but do not dictate entry, exit, or risk management.
* Works best when combined with trend/context filters or higher-timeframe analysis.
* Adjust the parameters based on the volatility of the instrument and timeframe.
PnL Bubble [%] | Fractalyst1. What's the indicator purpose?
The PnL Bubble indicator transforms your strategy's trade PnL percentages into an interactive bubble chart with professional-grade statistics and performance analytics. It helps traders quickly assess system profitability, understand win/loss distribution patterns, identify outliers, and make data-driven strategy improvements.
How does it work?
Think of this indicator as a visual report card for your trading performance. Here's what it does:
What You See
Colorful Bubbles: Each bubble represents one of your trades
Blue/Cyan bubbles = Winning trades (you made money)
Red bubbles = Losing trades (you lost money)
Bigger bubbles = Bigger wins or losses
Smaller bubbles = Smaller wins or losses
How It Organizes Your Trades:
Like a Photo Album: Instead of showing all your trades at once (which would be messy), it shows them in "pages" of 500 trades each:
Page 1: Your first 500 trades
Page 2: Trades 501-1000
Page 3: Trades 1001-1500, etc.
What the Numbers Tell You:
Average Win: How much money you typically make on winning trades
Average Loss: How much money you typically lose on losing trades
Expected Value (EV): Whether your trading system makes money over time
Positive EV = Your system is profitable long-term
Negative EV = Your system loses money long-term
Payoff Ratio (R): How your average win compares to your average loss
R > 1 = Your wins are bigger than your losses
R < 1 = Your losses are bigger than your wins
Why This Matters:
At a Glance: You can instantly see if you're a profitable trader or not
Pattern Recognition: Spot if you have more big wins than big losses
Performance Tracking: Watch how your trading improves over time
Realistic Expectations: Understand what "average" performance looks like for your system
The Cool Visual Effects:
Animation: The bubbles glow and shimmer to make the chart more engaging
Highlighting: Your biggest wins and losses get extra attention with special effects
Tooltips: hover any bubble to see details about that specific trade.
What are the underlying calculations?
The indicator processes trade PnL data using a dual-matrix architecture for optimal performance:
Dual-Matrix System:
• Display Matrix (display_matrix): Bounded to 500 trades for rendering performance
• Statistics Matrix (stats_matrix): Unbounded storage for complete statistical accuracy
Trade Classification & Aggregation:
// Separate wins, losses, and break-even trades
if val > 0.0
pos_sum += val // Sum winning trades
pos_count += 1 // Count winning trades
else if val < 0.0
neg_sum += val // Sum losing trades
neg_count += 1 // Count losing trades
else
zero_count += 1 // Count break-even trades
Statistical Averages:
avg_win = pos_count > 0 ? pos_sum / pos_count : na
avg_loss = neg_count > 0 ? math.abs(neg_sum) / neg_count : na
Win/Loss Rates:
total_obs = pos_count + neg_count + zero_count
win_rate = pos_count / total_obs
loss_rate = neg_count / total_obs
Expected Value (EV):
ev_value = (avg_win × win_rate) - (avg_loss × loss_rate)
Payoff Ratio (R):
R = avg_win ÷ |avg_loss|
Contribution Analysis:
ev_pos_contrib = avg_win × win_rate // Positive EV contribution
ev_neg_contrib = avg_loss × loss_rate // Negative EV contribution
How to integrate with any trading strategy?
Equity Change Tracking Method:
//@version=6
strategy("Your Strategy with Equity Change Export", overlay=true)
float prev_trade_equity = na
float equity_change_pct = na
if barstate.isconfirmed and na(prev_trade_equity)
prev_trade_equity := strategy.equity
trade_just_closed = strategy.closedtrades != strategy.closedtrades
if trade_just_closed and not na(prev_trade_equity)
current_equity = strategy.equity
equity_change_pct := ((current_equity - prev_trade_equity) / prev_trade_equity) * 100
prev_trade_equity := current_equity
else
equity_change_pct := na
plot(equity_change_pct, "Equity Change %", display=display.data_window)
Integration Steps:
1. Add equity tracking code to your strategy
2. Load both strategy and PnL Bubble indicator on the same chart
3. In bubble indicator settings, select your strategy's equity tracking output as data source
4. Configure visualization preferences (colors, effects, page navigation)
How does the pagination system work?
The indicator uses an intelligent pagination system to handle large trade datasets efficiently:
Page Organization:
• Page 1: Trades 1-500 (most recent)
• Page 2: Trades 501-1000
• Page 3: Trades 1001-1500
• Page N: Trades to
Example: With 1,500 trades total (3 pages available):
• User selects Page 1: Shows trades 1-500
• User selects Page 4: Automatically falls back to Page 3 (trades 1001-1500)
5. Understanding the Visual Elements
Bubble Visualization:
• Color Coding: Cyan/blue gradients for wins, red gradients for losses
• Size Mapping: Bubble size proportional to trade magnitude (larger = bigger P&L)
• Priority Rendering: Largest trades displayed first to ensure visibility
• Gradient Effects: Color intensity increases with trade magnitude within each category
Interactive Tooltips:
Each bubble displays quantitative trade information:
tooltip_text = outcome + " | PnL: " + pnl_str +
" Date: " + date_str + " " + time_str +
" Trade #" + str.tostring(trade_number) + " (Page " + str.tostring(active_page) + ")" +
" Rank: " + str.tostring(rank) + " of " + str.tostring(n_display_rows) +
" Percentile: " + str.tostring(percentile, "#.#") + "%" +
" Magnitude: " + str.tostring(magnitude_pct, "#.#") + "%"
Example Tooltip:
Win | PnL: +2.45%
Date: 2024.03.15 14:30
Trade #1,247 (Page 3)
Rank: 5 of 347
Percentile: 98.6%
Magnitude: 85.2%
Reference Lines & Statistics:
• Average Win Line: Horizontal reference showing typical winning trade size
• Average Loss Line: Horizontal reference showing typical losing trade size
• Zero Line: Threshold separating wins from losses
• Statistical Labels: EV, R-Ratio, and contribution analysis displayed on chart
What do the statistical metrics mean?
Expected Value (EV):
Represents the mathematical expectation per trade in percentage terms
EV = (Average Win × Win Rate) - (Average Loss × Loss Rate)
Interpretation:
• EV > 0: Profitable system with positive mathematical expectation
• EV = 0: Break-even system, profitability depends on execution
• EV < 0: Unprofitable system with negative mathematical expectation
Example: EV = +0.34% means you expect +0.34% profit per trade on average
Payoff Ratio (R):
Quantifies the risk-reward relationship of your trading system
R = Average Win ÷ |Average Loss|
Interpretation:
• R > 1.0: Wins are larger than losses on average (favorable risk-reward)
• R = 1.0: Wins and losses are equal in magnitude
• R < 1.0: Losses are larger than wins on average (unfavorable risk-reward)
Example: R = 1.5 means your average win is 50% larger than your average loss
Contribution Analysis (Σ):
Breaks down the components of expected value
Positive Contribution (Σ+) = Average Win × Win Rate
Negative Contribution (Σ-) = Average Loss × Loss Rate
Purpose:
• Shows how much wins contribute to overall expectancy
• Shows how much losses detract from overall expectancy
• Net EV = Σ+ - Σ- (Expected Value per trade)
Example: Σ+: 1.23% means wins contribute +1.23% to expectancy
Example: Σ-: -0.89% means losses drag expectancy by -0.89%
Win/Loss Rates:
Win Rate = Count(Wins) ÷ Total Trades
Loss Rate = Count(Losses) ÷ Total Trades
Shows the probability of winning vs losing trades
Higher win rates don't guarantee profitability if average losses exceed average wins
7. Demo Mode & Synthetic Data Generation
When using built-in sources (close, open, etc.), the indicator generates realistic demo trades for testing:
if isBuiltInSource(source_data)
// Generate random trade outcomes with realistic distribution
u_sign = prand(float(time), float(bar_index))
if u_sign < 0.5
v_push := -1.0 // Loss trade
else
// Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins (realistic)
u_mag = prand(float(time) + 9876.543, float(bar_index) + 321.0)
k = 8.0 // Skewness factor
t = math.pow(u_mag, k)
v_push := 2.5 + t * 8.0 // Win trade
Demo Characteristics:
• Realistic win/loss distribution mimicking actual trading patterns
• Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins over large wins
• Deterministic randomness for consistent demo results
• Includes jitter effects to prevent visual overlap

Disclaimer & Risk Considerations:
Important: Historical performance metrics, including positive Expected Value (EV), do not guarantee future trading success. Statistical measures are derived from finite sample data and subject to inherent limitations:
• Sample Bias: Historical data may not represent future market conditions or regime changes
• Ergodicity Assumption: Markets are non-stationary; past statistical relationships may break down
• Survivorship Bias: Strategies showing positive historical EV may fail during different market cycles
• Parameter Instability: Optimal parameters identified in backtesting often degrade in forward testing
• Transaction Cost Evolution: Slippage, spreads, and commission structures change over time
• Behavioral Factors: Live trading introduces psychological elements absent in backtesting
• Black Swan Events: Extreme market events can invalidate statistical assumptions instantaneously

Mean-Reversion Indicator_V2_SamleeOverview
This is the second version of my mean reversion indicator. It combines a moving average with adaptive standard deviation bands to detect when the price deviates significantly from its mean. The script provides automatic entry/exit signals, real-time PnL tracking, and shaded trade zones to make mean reversion trading more intuitive.
Core Logic
Mean benchmark: Simple Moving Average (MA).
Volatility bands: Standard deviation of the spread (close − MA) defines upper and lower bands.
Trading rules:
Price breaks below the lower band → Enter Long
Price breaks above the upper band → Enter Short
Price reverts to MA → Exit position
What’s different vs. classic Bollinger/Keltner
Bandwidth is based on the standard deviation of the price–MA spread, not raw closing prices.
Entry signals use previous-bar confirmation to reduce intrabar noise.
Exit rule is a mean-touch condition, rather than fixed profit/loss targets.
Enhanced visualization:
A shaded box dynamically shows the distance between entry and current/exit price, making it easy to see profit/loss zones over the holding period.
Instant PnL labels display current position side (Long/Short/Flat) and live profit/loss in both pips and %.
Entry and exit points are clearly marked on the chart with labels and exact prices.
These visualization tools go beyond what most indicators provide, giving traders a clearer, more practical view of trade evolution.
Key Features
Automatic detection of position status (Long / Short / Flat).
Chart labels for entries (“Entry”) and exits (“Exit”).
Real-time floating PnL calculation in both pips and %.
Info panel (top-right) showing entry price, current price, position side, and PnL.
Dynamic shading between entry and current/exit price to visualize profit/loss zones.
Usage Notes & Risk
Mean reversion may underperform in strong trending markets; parameters (len_ma, len_std, mult) should be validated per instrument and timeframe.
Works best on relatively stable, mean-reverting pairs (e.g., AUDNZD).
Risk management is essential: use independent stop-loss rules (e.g., limit risk to 1–2% of equity per trade).
This script is provided for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
Draw Trend LinesSometimes the simplest indicators help traders make better decisions. This indicator draws simple trend lines, the same lines you would draw manually.
To trade with an edge, traders need to interpret the recent price action, whether it's noisy or choppy, or it's trending. Trend Lines will help traders with that interpretation.
The lines drawn are:
1. lower tops
2. higher bottoms
Because trends are defined as higher lows, or lower highs.
When you see "Wedges", formed by prices chopping between top and bottom trend lines, that's noisy environment not to be traded. When you learn to "stop yourself", you already have an edge.
Often when you see a trend, it's still not too late. Trend will continue until it doesn't. But the caveat is a very steep trend is unlikely to continue, because buying volume is extremely unbalanced to cause the steep trend, and that volume will run out of energy. (Same on the sell side of course)
Trends can reverse, and when price action breaks the trend line, Breakout/Breakdown traders can take this as an entry signal.
Enjoy, and good trading!

Live Market - Performance MonitorLive Market — Performance Monitor
Study material (no code) — step-by-step training guide for learners
________________________________________
1) What this tool is — short overview
This indicator is a live market performance monitor designed for learning. It scans price, volume and volatility, detects order blocks and trendline events, applies filters (volume & ATR), generates trade signals (BUY/SELL), creates simple TP/SL trade management, and renders a compact dashboard summarizing market state, risk and performance metrics.
Use it to learn how multi-factor signals are constructed, how Greeks-style sensitivity is replaced by volatility/ATR reasoning, and how a live dashboard helps monitor trade quality.
________________________________________
2) Quick start — how a learner uses it (step-by-step)
1. Add the indicator to a chart (any ticker / timeframe).
2. Open inputs and review the main groups: Order Block, Trendline, Signal Filters, Display.
3. Start with defaults (OB periods ≈ 7, ATR multiplier 0.5, volume threshold 1.2) and observe the dashboard on the last bar.
4. Walk the chart back in time (use the last-bar update behavior) and watch how signals, order blocks, trendlines, and the performance counters change.
5. Run the hands-on labs below to build intuition.
________________________________________
3) Main configurable inputs (what you can tweak)
• Order Block Relevant Periods (default ~7): number of consecutive candles used to define an order block.
• Min. Percent Move for Valid OB (threshold): minimum percent move required for a valid order block.
• Number of OB Channels: how many past order block lines to keep visible.
• Trendline Period (tl_period): pivot lookback for detecting highs/lows used to draw trendlines.
• Use Wicks for Trendlines: whether pivot uses wicks or body.
• Extension Bars: how far trendlines are projected forward.
• Use Volume Filter + Volume Threshold Multiplier (e.g., 1.2): requires volume to be greater than multiplier × average volume.
• Use ATR Filter + ATR Multiplier: require bar range > ATR × multiplier to filter noise.
• Show Targets / Table settings / Colors for visualization.
________________________________________
4) Core building blocks — what the script computes (plain language)
Price & trend:
• Spot / LTP: current close price.
• EMA 9 / 21 / 50: fast, medium, slow moving averages to define short/medium trend.
o trend_bullish: EMA9 > EMA21 > EMA50
o trend_bearish: EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA50
o trend_neutral: otherwise
Volatility & noise:
• ATR (14): average true range used for dynamic target and filter sizing.
• dynamic_zone = ATR × atr_multiplier: minimum bar range required for meaningful move.
• Annualized volatility: stdev of price changes × sqrt(252) × 100 — used to classify volatility (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW).
Momentum & oscillators:
• RSI 14: overbought/oversold indicator (thresholds 70/30).
• MACD: EMA(12)-EMA(26) and a 9-period signal line; histogram used for momentum direction and strength.
• Momentum (ta.mom 10): raw momentum over 10 bars.
Mean reversion / band context:
• Bollinger Bands (20, 2σ): upper, mid, lower.
o price_position measures where price sits inside the band range as 0–100.
Volume metrics:
• avg_volume = SMA(volume, 20) and volume_spike = volume > avg_volume × volume_threshold
o volume_ratio = volume / avg_volume
Support & Resistance:
• support_level = lowest low over 20 bars
• resistance_level = highest high over 20 bars
• current_position = percent of price between support & resistance (0–100)
________________________________________
5) Order Block detection — concept & logic
What it tries to find: a bar (the base) followed by N candles in the opposite direction (a classical order block setup), with a minimum % move to qualify. The script records the high/low of the base candle, averages them, and plots those levels as OB channels.
How learners should think about it (conceptual):
1. An order block is a signature area where institutions (theory) left liquidity — often seen as a large bar followed by a sequence of directional candles.
2. This indicator uses a configurable number of subsequent candles to confirm that the pattern exists.
3. When found, it stores and displays the base candle’s high/low area so students can see how price later reacts to those zones.
Implementation note for learners: the tool keeps a limited history of OB lines (ob_channels). When new OBs exceed the count, the oldest lines are removed — good practice to avoid clutter.
________________________________________
6) Trendline detection — idea & interpretation
• The script finds pivot highs and lows using a symmetric lookback (tl_period and half that as right/left).
• It then computes a trendline slope from successive pivots and projects the line forward (extension_bars).
• Break detection: Resistance break = close crosses above the projected resistance line; Support break = close crosses below projected support.
Learning tip: trendlines here are computed from pivot points and time. Watch how changing tl_period (bigger = smoother, fewer pivots) alters the trendlines and break signals.
________________________________________
7) Signal generation & filters — step-by-step
1. Primary triggers:
o Bullish trigger: order block bullish OR resistance trendline break.
o Bearish trigger: bearish order block OR support trendline break.
2. Filters applied (both must pass unless disabled):
o Volume filter: volume must be > avg_volume × volume_threshold.
o ATR filter: bar range (high-low) must exceed ATR × atr_multiplier.
o Not in an existing trade: new trades only start if trade_active is false.
3. Trend confirmation:
o The primary trigger is only confirmed if trend is bullish/neutral for buys or bearish/neutral for sells (EMA alignment).
4. Result:
o When confirmed, a long or short trade is activated with TP/SL calculated from ATR multiples.
________________________________________
8) Trade management — what the tool does after a signal
• Entry management: the script marks a trade as trade_active and sets long_trade or short_trade flags.
• TP & SL rules:
o Long: TP = high + 2×ATR ; SL = low − 1×ATR
o Short: TP = low − 2×ATR ; SL = high + 1×ATR
• Monitoring & exit:
o A trade closes when price reaches TP or SL.
o When TP/SL hit, the indicator updates win_count and total_pnl using a very simple calculation (difference between TP/SL and previous close).
o Visual lines/labels are drawn for TP and updated as the trade runs.
Important learner notes:
• The script does not store a true entry price (it uses close in its P&L math), so PnL is an approximation — treat this as a learning proxy, not a position accounting system.
• There’s no sizing, slippage, or fee accounted — students must manually factor these when translating to real trades.
• This indicator is not a backtesting strategy; strategy.* functions would be needed for rigorous backtest results.
________________________________________
9) Signal strength & helper utilities
• Signal strength is a composite score (0–100) made up of four signals worth 25 points each:
1. RSI extreme (overbought/oversold) → 25
2. Volume spike → 25
3. MACD histogram magnitude increasing → 25
4. Trend existence (bull or bear) → 25
• Progress bars (text glyphs) are used to visually show RSI and signal strength on the table.
Learning point: composite scoring is a way to combine orthogonal signals — study how changing weights changes outcomes.
________________________________________
10) Dashboard — how to read each section (walkthrough)
The dashboard is split into sections; here's how to interpret them:
1. Market Overview
o LTP / Change%: immediate price & daily % change.
2. RSI & MACD
o RSI value plus progress bar (overbought 70 / oversold 30).
o MACD histogram sign indicates bullish/bearish momentum.
3. Volume Analysis
o Volume ratio (current / average) and whether there’s a spike.
4. Order Block Status
o Buy OB / Sell OB: the average base price of detected order blocks or “No Signal.”
5. Signal Status
o 🔼 BUY or 🔽 SELL if confirmed, or ⚪ WAIT.
o No-trade vs Active indicator summarizing market readiness.
6. Trend Analysis
o Trend direction (from EMAs), market sentiment score (composite), volatility level and band/position metrics.
7. Performance
o Win Rate = wins / signals (percentage)
o Total PnL = cumulative PnL (approximate)
o Bull / Bear Volume = accumulated volumes attributable to signals
8. Support & Resistance
o 20-bar highest/lowest — use as nearby reference points.
9. Risk & R:R
o Risk Level from ATR/price as a percent.
o R:R Ratio computed from TP/SL if a trade is active.
10. Signal Strength & Active Trade Status
• Numeric strength + progress bar and whether a trade is currently active with TP/SL display.
________________________________________
11) Alerts — what will notify you
The indicator includes pre-built alert triggers for:
• Bullish confirmed signal
• Bearish confirmed signal
• TP hit (long/short)
• SL hit (long/short)
• No-trade zone
• High signal strength (score > 75%)
Training use: enable alerts during a replay session to be notified when the indicator would have signalled.
________________________________________
12) Labs — hands-on exercises for learners (step-by-step)
Lab A — Order Block recognition
1. Pick a 15–30 minute timeframe on a liquid ticker.
2. Use default OB periods (7). Mark each time the dashboard shows a Buy/Sell OB.
3. Manually inspect the chart at the base candle and the following sequence — draw the OB zone by hand and watch later price reactions to it.
4. Repeat with OB periods 5 and 10; note stability vs noise.
Lab B — Trendline break confirmation
1. Increase trendline period (e.g., 20), watch trendlines form from pivots.
2. When a resistance break is flagged, compare with MACD & volume: was momentum aligned?
3. Note false breaks vs confirmed moves — change extension_bars to see projection effects.
Lab C — Filter sensitivity
1. Toggle Use Volume Filter off, and record the number and quality of signals in a 2-day window.
2. Re-enable volume filter and change threshold from 1.2 → 1.6; note how many low-quality signals are filtered out.
Lab D — Trade management simulation
1. For each signalled trade, record the time, close entry approximation, TP, SL, and eventual hit/miss.
2. Compute actual PnL if you had entered at the open of the next bar to compare with the script’s PnL math.
3. Tabulate win rate and average R:R.
Lab E — Performance review & improvement
1. Build a spreadsheet of signals over 30–90 periods with columns: Date, Signal type, Entry price (real), TP, SL, Exit, PnL, Notes.
2. Analyze which filters or indicators contributed most to winners vs losers and adjust weights.
________________________________________
13) Common pitfalls, assumptions & implementation notes (things to watch)
• P&L simplification: total_pnl uses close as a proxy entry price. Real entry/exit prices and slippage are not recorded — so PnL is approximate.
• No position sizing or money management: the script doesn’t compute position size from equity or risk percent.
• Signal confirmation logic: composite "signal_strength" is a simple 4×25 point scheme — explore different weights or additional signals.
• Order block detection nuance: the script defines the base candle and checks the subsequent sequence. Be sure to verify whether the intended candle direction (base being bullish vs bearish) aligns with academic/your trading definition — read the code carefully and test.
• Trendline slope over time: slope is computed using timestamps; small differences may make lines sensitive on very short timeframes — using bar_index differences is usually more stable.
• Not a true backtester: to evaluate performance statistically you must transform the logic into a strategy script that places hypothetical orders and records exact entry/exit prices.
________________________________________
14) Suggested improvements for advanced learners
• Record true entry price & timestamp for accurate PnL.
• Add position sizing: risk % per trade using SL distance and account size.
• Convert to strategy. (Pine Strategy)* to run formal backtests with equity curves, drawdowns, and metrics (Sharpe, Sortino).
• Log trades to an external spreadsheet (via alerts + webhook) for offline analysis.
• Add statistics: average win/loss, expectancy, max drawdown.
• Add additional filters: news time blackout, market session filters, multi-timeframe confirmation.
• Improve OB detection: combine wick/body, volume spike at base bar, and liquidity sweep detection.
________________________________________
15) Glossary — quick definitions
• ATR (Average True Range): measure of typical range; used to size targets and stops.
• EMA (Exponential Moving Average): trend smoothing giving more weight to recent prices.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): momentum oscillator; >70 overbought, <30 oversold.
• MACD: momentum oscillator using difference of two EMAs.
• Bollinger Bands: volatility bands around SMA.
• Order Block: a base candle area with subsequent confirmation candles; a zone of institutional interest (learning model).
• Pivot High/Low: local turning point defined by candles on both sides.
• Signal Strength: combined score from multiple indicators.
• Win Rate: proportion of signals that hit TP vs total signals.
• R:R (Risk:Reward): ratio of potential reward (TP distance) to risk (entry to SL).
________________________________________
16) Limitations & assumptions (be explicit)
• This is an indicator for learning — not a trading robot or broker connection.
• No slippage, fees, commissions or tie-in to real orders are considered.
• The logic is heuristic (rule-of-thumb), not a guarantee of performance.
• Results are sensitive to timeframe, market liquidity, and parameter choices.
________________________________________
17) Practical classroom / study plan (4 sessions)
• Session 1 — Foundations: Understand EMAs, ATR, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands. Run the indicator and watch how these numbers change on a single day.
• Session 2 — Zones & Filters: Study order blocks and trendlines. Test volume & ATR filters and note changes in false signals.
• Session 3 — Simulated trading: Manually track 20 signals, compute real PnL and compare to the dashboard.
• Session 4 — Improvement plan: Propose changes (e.g., better PnL accounting, alternative OB rule) and test their impact.
________________________________________
18) Quick reference checklist for each signal
1. Was an order block or trendline break detected? (primary trigger)
2. Did volume meet threshold? (filter)
3. Did ATR filter (bar size) show a real move? (filter)
4. Was trend aligned (EMA 9/21/50)? (confirmation)
5. Signal confirmed → mark entry approximation, TP, SL.
6. Monitor dashboard (Signal Strength, Volatility, No-trade zone, R:R).
7. After exit, log real entry/exit, compute actual PnL, update spreadsheet.

19) Educational caveat & final note
This tool is built for training and analysis: it helps you see how common technical building blocks combine into trade ideas, but it is not a trading recommendation. Use it to develop judgment, to test hypotheses, and to design robust systems with proper backtesting and risk control before risking capital.

---
## What It Does
- Builds an **Opening Range (OR)** from the **first _N_ minutes** after session open.
- Goes **long** on breaks **above** OR high; **short** on breaks **below** OR low.
- Optional **filters**:
- **Minimum OR width** (skip tiny, choppy ranges).
- **Volume filter** (current volume must exceed SMA).
- **Entry guard** (only allow entries ≤ _X_ bars after the initial break).
- **Risk-managed exits**:
- Stop based on **ATR × multiplier**.
- Two profit targets (**TP1**, **TP2**) at configurable **R multiples** (50/50 split).
---
## Quick Start
1. **Add the script** to a chart in TradingView (see (#install--run)).
2. In **Settings → Inputs**:
- Set **Session** (e.g., `0930-1600` for US equities; a daily boundary for crypto).
- Set **First N Minutes** (common: **5**, **15**, **30**).
- Optionally enable **Volume Filter** and set a **Min OR Width**.
3. Pick a timeframe (1m–15m typical).
4. After the first N minutes, the OR locks. Breakouts that pass filters/guard will **auto-enter** with TP/SL attached.
5. Review results in **Strategy Tester**. Tweak inputs to fit your market.
---
## Recommended Timeframes & Sessions
| Market | Session Example | First N Minutes | Chart Timeframe | Notes |
|-------------|-------------------|----------------:|----------------:|------|
| US Equities | `0930-1600` | 5–30 | **1m–5m** | 5–15m OR is common; 1–3m chart for precision. |
| Futures | RTH or chosen day | 5–30 | 1m–5m | Use exchange RTH if you trade regular hours only. |
| Crypto | `0000-2359` (or preferred daily reset) | 15–60 | **3m–15m** | 24/7—pick a consistent daily open to define OR. |
**Heuristics**
- Shorter **N** → more trades, more noise.
- Longer **N** → fewer trades, higher average quality.
- Increase **Min OR Width** for very volatile symbols.
---
## Inputs Reference
### Opening Range
- **Session** (`0930-1600` by default): Trading window that defines each session/day.
- **First N Minutes**: Minutes after session open used to build the OR high/low.
### Filters
- **Min OR Width (points)**: Minimum acceptable range height; `0` disables.
- **Enable Volume Filter**: Requires `volume > SMA(volume, len)`.
- **Volume SMA Length**: Period for volume SMA.
### Risk / Targets
- **ATR Length**: ATR period for stop calculation.
- **ATR ×**: Stop distance multiplier (`stop = ATR × multiplier`).
- **TP1 = R Multiple**: First target measured in R (risk units).
- **TP2 = R Multiple**: Second target measured in R.
### Entry Guard
- **Max Bars After Break**: Reject entries that occur more than _X_ bars after the initial break.
### Visuals
- **Plot OR High/Low**: Draw the OR lines (forming vs locked).
- **Show Break Labels**: “LONG/SHORT” markers at entries.
---
## How Trades Trigger (Logic Flow)
1. **Build OR** during the first _N_ minutes of the session (track highest high & lowest low).
2. When _N_ minutes pass, **OR locks**.
3. **Detect breakouts**:
- **Up-break** when `close` crosses **above** OR high.
- **Down-break** when `close` crosses **below** OR low.
4. **Check filters**:
- **Min OR Width** (if set) must pass.
- **Volume Filter** (if enabled) must pass.
- **Entry Guard** must pass (bars since initial break ≤ limit).
5. **Place entry** (long/short) with attached **stop** (ATR-based) and **two targets** (TP1, TP2).
6. **Exit logic**: TP1 and TP2 each close **50%** of the position; stop exits the remainder.
---
## Risk & Exits (R Multiples)
- **R** = stop distance (entry price to stop).
- Example (long): ATR-based stop is **100** points below entry ⇒ **1R = 100**.
- **TP1 @ 1R** = entry + 100
- **TP2 @ 2R** = entry + 200
- Default split: **50%** size to TP1, **50%** to TP2.
Tune via **ATR Length**, **ATR ×**, and **TP1/TP2** R settings.

## HUD Guide
Compact table in the **top-right** with real-time updates on the live bar.
| Row | Meaning |
|------------|---------|
| **Universal ORB v2 / Filters + Guard** | Header |
| **OR Mode** | “First N Min” |
| **OR Hi / OR Lo** | Current OR levels (forming, then locked) |
| **Width** | OR High − OR Low |
| **Break** | Direction of the **last** break: Up / Down / None |
| **Setup** | Playbook hint: Await Break / Await Retest Long / Await Retest Short |
| **Position** | Above Range / Below Range / In Range |
| **Min OR** | PASS / FAIL |
| **VolFilt** | ON (PASS) / ON (FAIL) / OFF |
| **Stop/TP** | Current stop and TP levels (contextual) |
| **Guard** | “≤X | now:Y” bars since initial break |
---
## Plots & Labels
- **OR High/Low**
- Translucent while forming; solid after locking.
- **Entry Labels**
- “LONG” plotted above bar on up-break entries; “SHORT” below bar on down-break entries.
---
## Backtesting Tips
- Use **1m–5m** charts for intraday ORB on equities/futures; **3m–15m** for crypto.
- Keep the **Session** aligned with the instrument (RTH vs 24h).
- Experiment with:
- **First N Minutes**: 5 / 15 / 30
- **ATR ×**: 1.0–2.0
- **Min OR Width**: symbol-specific
- **Volume Filter**: often helpful in chop
- Evaluate **Net Profit**, **Max Drawdown**, **Win Rate**, and **Trade Count**—avoid over-filtering to zero trades.
---
## Live Trading Tips
- Account for **spread & slippage**; avoid targets unrealistically close to entry.
- If you find yourself chasing, **tighten Entry Guard**.
- If you’re getting chopped, **increase N** and/or **Min OR Width**, and consider enabling **Volume Filter**.
- Many traders prefer **“first valid break only”** per session—consider that as a personal rule.
---
## Troubleshooting
- **No trades:**
- OR might still be forming.
- Filters may be blocking (Min Width, Volume, Guard).
- Session may not match the instrument/time.
- **Too many trades:**
- Increase **First N Minutes** or **Min OR Width**; enable **Volume Filter**.
- **Labels/lines missing:**
- Ensure **Visuals** toggles are on in Settings.
---
## Example Presets
**Equities (active, early breakout)**
- Session: `0930-1600`
- First N Minutes: **5–15**
- Timeframe: **1m–3m**
- Min OR Width: start around **0.2–0.5%** of price (symbol-dependent)
- Volume Filter: **ON**, Length **20**
- Entry Guard: **≤ 3 bars**
**Futures (RTH breakout)**
- Session: Exchange RTH
- First N Minutes: **15–30**
- Timeframe: **1m–5m**
- Volume Filter: ON
- ATR ×: **1.5**
- TP1/TP2: **1R / 2R**
**Crypto (daily OR)**
- Session: `0000-2359` (or chosen reset)
- First N Minutes: **30–60**
- Timeframe: **3m–15m**
- Min OR Width: ON (tune per pair)
- Volume Filter: optional (exchange-dependent)
---
## User Journey Example
**Persona:** Sam, intraday trader on US equities, likes momentum out of the open.
1. **Add to Chart**
Sam opens the AAPL 1-minute chart, pastes the script into TradingView Pine Editor, and hits **Add to chart**.
2. **Configure**
- Session: `0930-1600`
- First N Minutes: `15`
- Min OR Width: `0.4` (about ~0.25–0.5% of typical AAPL price)
- Volume Filter: **ON**, Length `20`
- Entry Guard: `3` bars
- ATR ×: `1.5`, TP1 `1R`, TP2 `2R`
3. **Observe the Open**
From 9:30 to 9:45, the HUD shows **OR Hi/Lo** forming. After 9:45, the range locks and OR lines turn solid.
4. **First Breakout**
Price pops above **OR High** at ~9:47. The HUD shows **Break: Up**. Volume passes; Min Width passes; within 3 bars of the break. Strategy enters **LONG** with ATR stop and two targets.
5. **Trade Management**
The HUD line **Stop/TP** displays current SL and both TPs. Sam watches TP1 fill quickly; TP2 trails behind and eventually fills on extension. If price reverses, the ATR stop is there to cap the loss.
6. **Review & Iterate**
After the close, Sam checks **Strategy Tester** results. The day looks solid, but on a different symbol the range was too tight, so Sam increases **Min OR Width** to avoid similar chop tomorrow.

Divergence – RSI & Volume with optional OBV/OI confirm (v6)Divergence — RSI & Volume with optional OBV/OI confirmation
Overview
This indicator highlights bullish/bearish divergences between price and RSI and can optionally require a Volume divergence too. For further confluence, it can check OBV or Open Interest (OI) trend/structure as a confirmation filter. The goal is to surface potential exhaustion or continuation areas across multiple forms of momentum/participation—not to provide trade signals.
What it looks for:
*RSI divergences (regular & hidden):
*Regular bullish: Price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low.
*Regular bearish: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high.
*Hidden bullish: Price makes a higher low while RSI makes a lower low (trend-continuation).
*Hidden bearish: Price makes a lower high while RSI makes a higher high (trend-continuation).
Volume divergence (optional):
Price makes a new swing extreme without supportive volume, or volume makes a diverging swing relative to price.
Confirmation (optional):
OBV: requires OBV to agree with (or fail to confirm) price at the swing, per your filter setting.
OI: for markets with open interest data; checks whether OI supports or contradicts the move.
How it works (methodology)
Divergences are detected using confirmed swing points (pivot highs/lows). A swing is confirmed only after enough bars to the right have printed.
While a swing is forming, potential signals may appear and disappear; once the swing confirms, the plot is fixed.
Volume and OBV/OI checks are applied at the same swing points to avoid look-ahead bias.
Key inputs
RSI: length & source.
Swing settings: left/right bars (pivot strength), minimum spacing between swings.
Divergence types: enable/disable regular and hidden (bullish/bearish) separately.
Volume filter: toggle on/off; choose interpretation (e.g., lower participation on new price extreme).
Confirmation source: None / OBV / OI and its strictness (must confirm vs must diverge).
Visuals: show/hide labels & lines, label side (left/right), colors, and max lookback markers.
Data availability: If OI is not available for the symbol/exchange, OI confirmation is automatically skipped.
What it draws
*Clear labels/markers at the confirmed swing bar, color-coded for bullish vs bearish and regular vs hidden.
*Optional connector lines between the last two relevant swing points for price and RSI.
*(If enabled) small badges indicating VOL, OBV, or OI confirmation status.
Notes & limitations
This is a charting tool. It does not generate trade recommendations or guarantees.
Divergence is context-dependent; many valid divergences fail in strong trends.
Signals depend on pivot confirmation; earlier bars may repaint until the swing is locked in.
OI is only present on instruments/exchanges that provide it; otherwise, OI checks do nothing.
Different chart sessions/aggregation (e.g., Heikin Ashi, RTH vs ETH) will produce different swing/RSI outcomes.
Best practices
Use divergences as confluence with structure (S/R, trends), higher-timeframe bias, and risk controls.
Prefer confirmed swings; be cautious with early prints.
Consider requiring Volume and OBV/OI filters in strong-trend environments to reduce noise.

Top and Bottom Probability
The top and bottom probability oscillator is an educational indicator that estimates the probability of a local top or bottom using four ingredients:
price extension since the last RSI overbought/oversold,
time since that OB/OS event,
RSI divergence strength,
Directional Momentum Velocity (DMV) — a normalized, signed trend velocity.
It plots RSI, two probability histograms (Top %, Bottom %), and an optional 0–100 velocity gauge.
How to read it
RSI & Levels: Standard RSI with OB/OS lines (70/30 by default).
Prob Top (%): Red histogram, 0–100. Higher values suggest increasing risk of a local top after an RSI overbought anchor.
Prob Bottom (%): Green histogram, 0–100. Higher values suggest increasing chance of a local bottom after an RSI oversold anchor.
Velocity (0–100): Optional line. Above 50 = positive/upward DMV; below 50 = negative/downward DMV. DMV pushes Top risk when trending down and Bottom chance when trending up.
These are composite, scale-free scores, not certainties or trade signals.
What the probabilities consider
Price Delta: How far price has moved beyond the last OB (for tops) or below the last OS (for bottoms). More extension → higher probability.
Time Since OB/OS: Longer time since the anchor → higher probability (until capped by the “Time Normalization (bars)” input).
Oscillator Divergence: RSI pulling away from its last OB/OS reading in the opposite direction implies weakening momentum and increases probability.
Directional Momentum Velocity (DMV):
Computes a regression slope of hlc3 vs. bar index, normalized by ATR, then squashed with tanh.
Downward DMV boosts Top probability; upward DMV boosts Bottom probability.
Toggle the velocity plot and adjust its sensitivity with Velocity Lookback, ATR Length, and Velocity Gain.
All four terms are blended with user-set weights. If Normalize Weights is ON, weights are rescaled to sum to 1.
Inputs (most useful)
RSI Length / OB / OS: Core RSI setup.
Time Normalization (bars): Sets how quickly the “time since OB/OS” term ramps from 0→1.
Weights:
Price Delta, Time Since OB/OS, Osc Divergence, Directional Velocity.
Turn Normalize Weights ON to keep the blend consistent when you experiment.
Settings:
Velocity Lookback: Window for slope estimation (shorter = more reactive).
ATR Length: Normalizes slope so symbols/timeframes are comparable.
Velocity Gain: Steepens or softens the tanh curve (higher = punchier extremes).
Show Velocity (0–100): Toggles the DMV display.
Tip: If you prefer momentum measured on RSI rather than price, in the DMV block replace hlc3 with rsi (concept stays identical).
Practical tips
Use Top/Bottom % as context, not triggers. Combine with structure (S/R), trend filters, and risk management.
On strong trends, expect the opposite probability (e.g., Top % during an uptrend) to stay suppressed longer.
Calibrate weights: e.g., raise Osc Divergence on mean-reversion symbols; raise Velocity in trending markets.
For lower noise: lengthen Velocity Lookback and ATR Length, or reduce Velocity Gain.
