In-Range Rolling SL In-Range Rolling SL Indicator Guide The In-Range Rolling SL indicator is a dynamic stop-loss system designed for intraday trading that identifies squeeze conditions and trade entry opportunities based on rolling price windows. Core Concept The indicator analyzes the highest high and lowest low over a defined lookback period (default: 2 candles) to establish an "in-range" zone. When price stays within this range without breaking either boundary, it creates a squeeze condition—signaling potential breakout opportunities. Trading Strategy Wait for the Squeeze Setup The most effective approach is to wait for the in-range stop-loss squeeze to form. This occurs when both the long SL (green line) and short SL (red line) are active simultaneously, indicated by the yellow status dot (🟡) in the indicator table. Analyze the wick high/close relationship against the in-range SL while price remains compressed—this setup identifies which side is more likely to break first. Entry Timing and Risk Management Long Entry: Enter when a candle closes above the in-range short SL (red line) without any wick above it. This "perfect breakout candle" confirms bullish momentum. Your entry should be around the region, with your stop-loss placed just below the top of the breakout candle's high. Short Entry: Enter when a candle closes below the in-range long SL (green line). The stop-loss for short trades should be set 34.26 points above your entry for appropriate risk protection. Risk-Reward Considerations If you enter at the low of a breakout candle, expect only 8.26 points of drawdown potential. However, if you accidentally go long and your stop gets hit, you'll experience the full in-range stop-loss distance as your loss. Advanced Techniques Failed Breakout Trap: If a follow-up candle doesn't make a higher high after the initial breakout, consider adding a "winner" for compensation rather than holding for a trap. When your buy-stop sits on top of the breakout candle high, this isn't a valid long trade setup. Flip Trade Opportunity: In-range stop-loss attempts to flip often provide ideal entry points. If the up candle doesn't break the previous low, this validates the long continuation. Long Scalp Trading: A failed long scalp can be traded if you missed the initial market open down-up-down trend. With a stop-loss of 34 points and potential profit exceeding 50 points, this provides favorable risk-reward ratios. Sustained Loss Management: Stop-loss for long positions should target 26 points maximum loss. The indicator automatically invalidates stop-losses when price violates them, keeping your chart clean for the next setup. ------------------------- In-Range Rolling SL Indicator Guide The In-Range Rolling SL indicator is a dynamic stop-loss system designed for intraday trading that identifies squeeze conditions and breakout opportunities based on rolling price windows. How the Indicator Works The indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low over your selected lookback period (default: 2 candles) to establish dynamic support and resistance levels. These levels create an "in-range" zone that adapts as new price action develops. Visual Components Green Line (Long SL): The rolling window's lowest low - your stop-loss level for long positions Red Line (Short SL): The rolling window's highest high - your stop-loss level for short positions Status Indicators: 🟡 Yellow: Squeeze condition (both SLs active) 🟢 Green: Long-only setup 🔴 Red: Short-only setup ⚪ White: Neutral (no active SLs) The Squeeze Setup Strategy Step 1: Wait for the Squeeze The most effective way to use the In-Range Rolling SL is to wait for the in-range stop-loss squeeze to form. During the squeeze, both the green and red lines are active, meaning price has stayed within the rolling window without breaking either boundary. This compression phase indicates that it's "go time" to prepare your trade. While in the squeeze, analyze the wick high/close relationship against the in-range SL levels. This analysis helps you determine which side is more likely to split when the breakout occurs. Step 2: Identify the Perfect Breakout Long Breakout: A perfect breakout candle should close above the in-range stop-loss high (red line) without any wick above it. This clean breakout demonstrates strong momentum and reduces the risk of a false breakout. Short Breakout: Look for a candle that closes below the in-range SL low (green line), indicating a short-side trade is coming up. Step 3: Entry Execution Long Entry: Your entry should be around the region of the breakout. Position your stop-loss just below the top of the breakout candle's high. This placement protects you from failed breakouts while giving the trade room to develop. Short Entry: Enter as the candle closes below the in-range SL low. The stop-loss for short-side trades is typically 34.26 points of potential loss based on the indicator's measurements. Risk-Reward Analysis Entry at Breakout Low If you enter here at the low of the breakout candle, you're looking at only 8.26 points of drawdown potential. This represents your best-case entry scenario. Accidental Wrong-Side Entry However, if you accidentally go long here and your stop gets hit, you'll experience the full in-range stop-loss distance as your loss. This emphasizes the importance of waiting for clear breakout confirmation. Long Scalp Opportunity A failed long scalp can be traded here if you missed the market open down-up-down trend. With a stop-loss of 34 points and potential profit greater than 50 points, this setup offers a favorable risk-reward ratio of approximately 1:1.5. Advanced Trade Management Failed Breakout Recognition Follow-Up Candle Validation: If a follow-up candle did not make a higher high than the breakout candle, this could be a trap. Your buy-stop on top of the breakout candle high is not a valid long trade setup in this scenario. Consider adding a "winner" for compensation rather than holding through the potential reversal. Flip Trade Opportunities In-range stop-loss tries to flip to the other side often provide excellent entries. If the up candle did not break the previous low, this validates the long continuation and suggests the squeeze is resolving to the upside. Sustained Position Management Stop-Loss Guidelines: Stop-loss for long positions should be 26 points of maximum loss. The indicator table displays the delta (Δ) showing your real-time distance to the active stop-loss, helping you manage risk dynamically. Entry Timing: Your entry should be around the region where the breakout confirms, rather than chasing price after a large move. In order to prepare your trade, position your stop-loss on top of the breakout candle's high for long trades. Practical Example from the Chart Looking at the MNQ1! chart, you can see multiple squeeze formations throughout the session. The most notable sequence shows: An initial downtrend creating a squeeze setup A perfect breakout candle closing above the red line without upper wick The subsequent candle validating the move Later, a failed breakout attempt that created a short opportunity Multiple flip attempts that provided re-entry points for scalpers The indicator's table in the top-right continuously updates with the current SL levels, gap size, candle size, and delta values - giving you all the information needed to assess each trade's risk-reward profile in real-time.

1HR Pivots & Pre-Market Levels1HR Pivots & Pre-Market Levels Indicator Overview This indicator is designed for intraday traders who want to identify key price levels that often act as support and resistance throughout the trading day. It combines multiple timeframe analysis into a single, clean overlay on your chart. Key Features 1-Hour Pivot Levels The indicator automatically detects significant swing highs and lows from the 1-hour timeframe and displays them as horizontal levels on your chart, regardless of what timeframe you're viewing. These pivots are calculated using closing prices (line chart style) rather than wicks, which provides cleaner, more reliable levels. You can display up to 20 pivot levels and customize how sensitive the detection is. Pre-Market High & Low Before the regular session opens, price action in the pre-market often establishes important boundaries for the day. This indicator tracks and displays the pre-market high (green) and low (red) from 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM Eastern Time. These levels are derived from 1 min prices including wicks. First 15-Minute Range The opening 15 minutes of the regular session (9:30-9:45 AM ET) frequently sets the tone for the rest of the day. The indicator marks the high (blue) and low (orange) of this critical period, including wicks, giving you clear reference points for potential breakout or reversal trades. Session VWAP Volume Weighted Average Price is included as a white line that resets daily. VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume and is widely used by institutional traders. Price trading above VWAP suggests bullish sentiment, while price below suggests bearish sentiment. Why It's Useful Multi-timeframe context on any chart - View 1-hour levels while trading on a 1-minute or 5-minute chart Key session-based levels - Pre-market range and opening range are proven reference points for day traders Clean visualization - All levels draw from their origin point so you can see exactly where each level was established Fully customizable - Adjust colors, line thickness, and number of levels to match your preferences Information table - Quick reference panel showing exact prices for all key levels Best Used For Identifying potential support and resistance zones Planning entries and exits around key levels Gauging whether price is extended or at value (using VWAP) Understanding the day's structure at a glance

Volatility Value BandsThis indicator is a modern adaptation of Mark Helweg's original Value Charts concept, focused on visually displaying volatility zones and "extreme value" areas directly on the price chart. It does not replicate the original work but draws inspiration from the logic of normalizing price by volatility to highlight statistically stretched regions. 1. Introduction This study displays three lines directly on the chart: - a central reference line (base), - an upper overvaluation band, - and a lower undervaluation band. The bands are calculated from the relationship between price, moving average, and volatility (via true range/ATR), following Mark Helweg's Value Charts concept but with a custom implementation and adjustable parameters for different assets and timeframes. This allows objectively visualizing when price is in a statistically extended region relative to its recent behavior. 2. Key Features - Volatility-normalized base The indicator converts price deviation into "value units" using a combination of moving average and smoothed volatility (true range/ATR), making levels comparable across different assets and time horizons. - Auto-adjusting limits (optional) An automatic mode can calculate upper and lower limits from recent value unit extremes, using a configurable sampling window and percentile, allowing bands to adapt to the current volatility regime without manual recalibration. - Direct plot on price chart The three lines (central, upper, and lower) are drawn directly on the main asset chart (`overlay`), making it easy to read context: it's clear when price "touches" or breaks the volatility bands without switching to a separate pane. - Flexible parameters Users can control: - base moving average period (length) - volatility factor (manual or automatic) - independent windows for volatility and limits calculation - limits mode (auto or manual) and percentile used This allows adapting behavior to different markets (stocks, indices, forex, crypto). 3. How to Use - Basic interpretation - When price approaches or exceeds the upper band, it indicates a statistically overvalued zone where the asset is stretched upward relative to recent volatility. - When price approaches or exceeds the lower band, it indicates a statistically undervalued zone. - The central line serves as a reference for recent "average value," derived from the base moving average. - Recommended initial setup - Choose the Value Chart period (e.g., 144 bars) for the base. - Enable automatic limits mode for coherent bands matching the asset's volatility. - Adjust the limits window and percentile for tighter bands (more signals) or wider bands (fewer but more extreme). - Best practices - Use bands as context filters, not standalone buy/sell signals. Combine with trend, market structure, or other confirmation indicators. - Avoid decisions solely because price touched a band; in strong trends, price can "walk the edge" for extended periods. - Always follow TradingView community rules when publishing: clearly state in the description that the study is "inspired by Mark Helweg's Value Charts concept," without claiming official status, reproducing proprietary code, or violating copyrights.

Relative Strength Portofolio Strategy (RSPS) | DextraRelative Strength Portofolio Strategy (RSPS) | Dextra Conceptual Foundation and Strategy Innovation RSPS is a multi-asset rotation strategy that combines pairwise relative strength analysis across major cryptocurrencies with a robust market regime filter, along with an automatic safe-haven switch to Gold or USD (cash) during weakening market conditions. The strategy is designed to dynamically allocate capital to the cryptocurrency exhibiting the strongest relative dominance during bull phases, while significantly reducing exposure when overall crypto momentum fades—aiming to capture upside from the leading sector while limiting large drawdowns. The core approach relies on a custom momentum indicator optimized for each asset pair, incorporating hysteresis to maintain signal stability and prevent excessive rotation (whipsaw). This creates a responsive rotation system that adapts to shifts in sector strength within the crypto market, focusing on capitalizing on the strongest prevailing momentum. Market Regime Detection Overall market regime is determined by a custom momentum indicator applied to the CRYPTO INDEX. Gold strength is evaluated separately via a similar indicator on the Gold asset, serving as the trigger for safe-haven allocation during bearish conditions. Pairwise Relative Strength Analysis Relative strength is measured through pairwise comparisons between assets using custom indicator with period and threshold parameters tailored specifically to each pair—reflecting the unique volatility and historical behavior of each relationship. Scoring System Each asset receives a score (0–5) based on how many other assets it “outperforms” in the pairwise comparisons. The highest score identifies the current relative leader. During bull markets: allocation focuses on the top-scoring cryptocurrency. During bear markets: the system switches to GOLD (if showing strength) or USD (cash) as a defensive position. Allocation Guidance The script defaults to suggesting 100% allocation to the selected asset to maximize exposure to the strongest momentum. However, traders can adjust exposure percentages based on personal risk tolerance—for example, allocating 70–90% to the dominant asset and keeping the remainder in USD or stablecoins to reduce portfolio volatility. Equity Curve & Risk Metrics Equity curve is calculated in real-time starting from a user-defined date. Maximum Drawdown (MDD) is tracked and displayed as the primary risk metric. Visualization and Dashboard Features Equity Curve: Thick line plot with dynamic coloring based on the currently active asset. Bar and Background Coloring: Transparent green during bull regime, red during bear. Table in the bottom-right corner: Displays real-time scores for all assets (including USD and GOLD when relevant), with asset-specific background colors and highlighting for high scores. Information Label: Shows the current active position, total ROI (as a multiplier), and MDD (%). Assets Covered Major cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, BNB, HYPE Safe-haven assets: GOLD, USD (cash) It performs best on the daily (1D) timeframe, where noise is reduced and signal reliability is higher. Summary RSPS | Dextra provides a fully automated asset rotation framework based on pairwise relative strength with pair-specific parameters, combined with clear market regime detection and risk-off mechanics. With its comprehensive visual dashboard (score table, colored equity curve, and real-time performance metrics), the script serves as a powerful decision-support tool for navigating crypto market dynamics—capturing upside from leading sectors while protecting capital during downturns.

MorphWave Bands [JOAT]MorphWave Bands - Adaptive Volatility Envelope System MorphWave Bands create a dynamic price envelope that automatically adjusts its width based on current market conditions. Unlike static Bollinger Bands, this indicator blends ATR and standard deviation with an efficiency ratio to expand during trending conditions and contract during consolidation. What This Indicator Does Plots adaptive upper and lower bands around a customizable moving average basis Automatically adjusts band width using a blend of ATR and standard deviation Detects volatility squeezes when bands contract to historical lows Highlights breakouts when price moves beyond the bands Provides squeeze alerts for anticipating volatility expansion Adaptive Mechanism The bands adapt through a multi-step process: // Blend ATR and Standard Deviation blendedVol = useAtrBlend ? (atrVal * 0.6 + stdVal * 0.4) : stdVal // Normalize volatility to its historical range volNorm = (blendedVol - volLow) / (volHigh - volLow) // Create adaptive multiplier adaptMult = baseMult * (0.5 + volNorm * adaptSens) This creates bands that respond to market regime changes while maintaining stability. Squeeze Detection A squeeze is identified when band width drops below a specified percentile of its historical range: Background highlighting indicates active squeeze conditions Low percentile readings suggest compressed volatility Squeeze exits often precede directional moves Inputs Overview Band Length — Period for basis calculation (default: 20) Base Multiplier — Starting band width multiplier (default: 2.0) MA Type — Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or HMA Adaptation Lookback — Historical period for normalization (default: 50) Adaptation Sensitivity — How much bands respond to volatility changes Squeeze Threshold — Percentile below which squeeze is detected Dashboard Information Current trend direction relative to basis and bands Band width percentage Squeeze status (Active or None) Efficiency ratio Current adaptive multiplier value How to Use It Look for squeeze conditions as potential precursors to breakouts Use band touches as dynamic support/resistance references Monitor breakout signals when price closes beyond bands Combine with momentum indicators for directional confirmation Alerts Upper/Lower Breakout — Price exceeds band boundaries Squeeze Entry/Exit — Volatility compression begins or ends Basis Crosses — Price crosses the center line This indicator is provided for educational purposes.

Unmitigated MTF High Low - Cave Diving Plot IntroductionThe Unmitigated MTF High Low - Cave Diving Plot is a multi-timeframe (MTF) indicator designed for NQ and ES futures traders who want to identify high-probability entry and exit zones based on unmitigated price levels. The "Cave Diving" visualization helps you navigate between support (floor) and resistance (ceiling) zones, while the integrated Strat analysis provides directional context. Who Is This For? Futures traders (NQ, ES) trading during ETH and RTH sessions Scalpers and day traders looking for precise entry/exit levels Traders using The Strat methodology for directional analysis Anyone seeking confluence between price action and key levels Core Concepts 1. Unmitigated Level: An unmitigated level is a price high or low that has been created but not yet tested (touched) by price. These levels act as magnets - price often returns to test them.Key Properties: Resistance (Highs): Price has created a high but hasn't revisited it Support (Lows): Price has created a low but hasn't revisited it Mitigation: When price touches a level, it becomes "mitigated" and loses strength 2. The Cave Diving MetaphorThink of trading as cave diving between two zones: ┌─────────────────────────────────┐ │ CEILING (Upper Band) │ ← 1st & 2nd Unmitigated Highs │ 🟥 Resistance Zone │ ├─────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ THE TUNNEL │ ← Price navigates here │ (Trading Channel) │ │ │ ├─────────────────────────────────┤ │ 🟢 Support Zone │ │ FLOOR (Lower Band) │ ← 1st & 2nd Unmitigated Lows └─────────────────────────────────┘ Trading Concept: Ceiling: Formed by the 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated highs Floor: Formed by the 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated lows Tunnel: The space between ceiling and floor where price operates Cave Diving: Navigating between these zones for entries and exits 3. Session-Based Age TrackingLevels are tracked by session age: Session: 6:00 PM to 5:00 PM NY time (23-hour window) Age 0: Created in the current session (today) Age 1: Created 1 session ago (yesterday) Age 2+: Older levels (more significant) Why Age Matters: Older unmitigated levels are typically stronger magnets Fresh levels (Age 0) may be weaker and easier to break Age 2+ levels often provide high-probability reversal zones Indicator Components Visual Elements 1. Colored Bands (Cave Zones)Upper Band (Pink/Maroon - 95% transparency) Space between 1st and 2nd unmitigated highs Acts as resistance zone Price often hesitates or reverses here Lower Band (Teal - 95% transparency) Space between 1st and 2nd unmitigated lows Acts as support zone Price often finds buyers here 2.

Every level plotted by IDLP is derived from one simple rule: Today’s trading decisions must be based on completed market data only. That means: ✅ No use of the current day’s unfinished data for levels ✅ No lookahead ✅ No hidden repaint behavior IDLP reconstructs the previous trading day from the intraday chart and then projects that structure forward onto the current session, giving you a stable, institutional-style intraday map. 🧱 1. Previous Daily Levels (Core Structure) IDLP extracts and displays the full previous daily structure, which you can toggle on/off individually via the inputs: Previous Daily High (PDH) Previous Daily Low (PDL) Previous Daily Open Previous Daily Close, Previous Daily Mid (50% of the range) Previous Daily Q1 (25% of the range) Previous Daily Q3 (75% of the range) All of these come from the day that just closed and are then locked for the entire current session. What these levels tell you: PDH / PDL – true extremes of yesterday’s price action (liquidity zones, breakout/reversal points). Previous Daily Open / Close – how the market positioned itself between session start and end Mid (50%) – equilibrium level of the previous day’s auction. Q1 / Q3 (25% / 75%) internal structure of the previous day’s range, dividing it into four equal zones and helping you see if price is trading in the lower, middle, or upper quarter of yesterday’s range. All these levels are non-repaint: once the day is completed, they are fixed and never change when you scroll, replay, or backtest. 🎯 2. Previous Day Pivot System (P, S1, S2, R1, R2) IDLP includes a classic floor-trader pivot grid, but critically: It is calculated only from the previous day’s high, low, and close. So for the current session, the following are fixed: Pivot P – central reference level of the previous day. Support 1 (S1) and Support 2 (S2) Resistance 1 (R1) and Resistance 2 (R2) These levels are widely used by institutional desks and algos to structure: mean-reversion plays, breakout zones, intraday targets, and risk placement. Everything in this section is non-repaint because it only uses the previous day’s fully closed OHLC. 📏 3. 1-Day ADR Bands Around Previous Daily Open Instead of a multi-day ADR, IDLP uses a pure 1-Day ADR logic: ADR = Range of the previous day ADR = PDH − PDL From that, IDLP builds two clean bands centered around the previous daily Open: ADR Upper Band = Previous Day Open + (ADR × Multiplier) ADR Lower Band = Previous Day Open − (ADR × Multiplier) The multiplier is user-controlled in the inputs: ADR Multiplier (default: 0.8) This lets you choose how “tight” or “wide” you want the ADR envelope to be around the previous day’s open. Typical use cases: Identify realistic intraday extension targets, Spot exhaustion moves beyond ADR bands, Frame reversals after reaching volatility extremes, Align trades with or against volatility expansion Again, since ADR is calculated only from the completed previous day, these bands are totally non-repaint during the current session. 🔒 4. True Non-Repaint Architecture The internal logic of IDLP is built to guarantee non-repaint behavior: It reconstructs each day using time("D") and tracks: dayOpen, dayHigh, dayLow, dayClose for the current day prevDayOpen, prevDayHigh, prevDayLow, prevDayClose for the previous day At the moment a new day starts: The “current day” gets “frozen” into prevDay* These prevDay* values then drive: Previous Daily Levels, Pivots, ADR. During the current day: All these “previous day” values stay fixed, no matter what happens. They do not move in real time, they do not shift in replay. This means: What you see in the past is exactly what you would have seen live. No fake backtests. No illusion of perfection from repainting behavior. 🎯 5. Designed For Intraday Traders IDLP – Intraday Daily Levels Pro is made for: - Day traders and scalpers - Index and FX traders - Prop firm challenge trading - Traders using ICT/SMC-style levels, liquidity, and range logic - Anyone who wants a clean, institutional-style daily framework without noise You get: Previous Day OHLC Mid / Q1 / Q3 of the previous range Previous-Day Pivots (P, S1, S2, R1, R2) 1-Day ADR Bands around Previous Day Open All calculated only from closed data, updated once per day, and then locked.

Price In Motion – Inside Candle Breakout SystemPrice In Motion – Inside Candle Breakout System Created for traders who want clean, structured inside-bar breakouts without clutter or unnecessary signals. 📌 What This Indicator Does This tool identifies inside candles and plots simple breakout zones around them. A breakout arrow only appears when price closes outside the zone, giving a clear, rules-based trigger. You can choose between two inside-bar detection modes: 🔄 Two Inside-Candle Modes (Toggle) 1️⃣ Standard Mode (default) Inside candle = current body is contained within the prior candle’s high–low range. Wicks can be outside — only the body matters. A clean way to spot compression and continuation setups. 2️⃣ Candle-to-Candle Mode (optional) Inside candle = current body is fully within the prior candle’s body. Produces tighter signals and more refined breakout zones. 🧱 Merged Inside Candle Zones Back-to-back inside candles are automatically merged into one zone: Zone High = highest high of the cluster Zone Low = lowest low of the cluster This keeps the chart clean and maintains a single breakout level until price closes outside of it. 📉📈 Breakout Signals A breakout arrow prints only when price closes outside the zone: Green arrow = close above the zone Red arrow = close below the zone Arrows can be toggled on/off at any time. 🎯 Why This Helps Unlike typical inside-bar indicators that only mark the candle, this tool: Shows clean compression zones Merges clusters of inside candles Confirms breakout only on candle close Removes duplicate or noisy signals Never repaints It’s built for traders who value structure, clarity, and repeatable setups. 🛠 Best Used For Breakout continuation Pullback structure Compression analysis Scalping or intraday execution Futures, stocks, crypto — any timeframe
