Objective Daily Bias Seasonality
The Universal Daily Seasonality indicator is a statistical tool designed to analyze and visualize price performance patterns based on the day of the week. It helps traders identify historical tendencies (seasonal bias) for any given asset by processing daily data independently of the current chart timeframe.
Intraday
Apex Wallet - Opening Range Breakout (ORB) & Session LevelsOverview The Apex Wallet Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is a professional intraday tool designed to capture the volatility of the first minutes of the trading session. By defining a clear range at the market open, this indicator provides traders with high-probability breakout levels and psychological targets based on mathematical extensions of the initial move.
Core Mechanics
Customizable Session: Easily define your preferred opening range duration (e.g., first 5, 15, or 30 minutes) and session start time.
Dynamic Timezone Adjustment: Includes a built-in UTC offset feature to ensure session times align perfectly with your local market, regardless of where you are trading from.
Automated Level Tracking: The script automatically identifies and locks the high and low of the specified opening period.
Key Features:
Psychological Mid-Lines: Calculates the 50% median of the range (ORB Mid) as a pivot point for trend strength.
Advanced Volatility Extensions: Plots internal and external targets (High+Mid, Low+Mid) to identify potential exhaustion zones or secondary breakout levels.
Intraday Optimization: Designed specifically for low-timeframe traders (1m to 15m) looking for clear execution zones at the bell.
How to use: Wait for the opening range to be established. A breakout above the ORB High often indicates bullish dominance, while a break below the ORB Low suggests bearish momentum. Use the internal extension lines as take-profit targets or areas to move your stop-loss to breakeven.
SMC Precision Master# SMC Precision Master - Professional Smart Money Analysis
## Overview
SMC Precision Master combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology with institutional trading tools to create a multi-factor confluence system for discretionary trading. This indicator integrates Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, Premium/Discount zones, Market Structure, Ichimoku Cloud, Fibonacci retracements, and Previous Day levels into a unified analytical framework.
---
## Why This Combination? (Mashup Justification)
**The Problem with Single Indicators:**
- Order Blocks alone may trigger in Premium zones (low probability buy zones)
- Fair Value Gaps without supply/demand context lack directional bias
- Premium/Discount zones alone don't provide precise entry levels
- Market Structure can break repeatedly in ranging conditions
**The Solution - Multi-Factor Confluence:**
This mashup creates a **filtering system** where multiple independent factors must align before highlighting high-probability setups. Each component validates the others:
1. **Market Structure** (BOS/MSS/CHoCH) → Determines allowed trade direction
2. **Premium/Discount Zones** → Validates institutional buy/sell context
3. **Order Blocks + FVG** → Identifies precise entry zones with overlap
4. **Fibonacci OTE** → Targets the 61.8-78.6% optimal entry range
5. **Ichimoku Cloud** → Confirms higher timeframe trend alignment
6. **Previous Day Levels** → Adds ICT reference points for bias
**Result:** The indicator only shows high-confluence setups where 3-5 factors simultaneously confirm, significantly reducing false signals compared to using components separately.
---
## How It Works - Technical Methodology
### Order Block Detection (3-Criteria System)
**Criterion 1 - Pattern:**
- Bullish OB: Bearish candle (close < open) before upward impulse
- Bearish OB: Bullish candle (close > open) before downward impulse
**Criterion 2 - Impulse Validation:**
- Standard Mode: Impulse high > OB high (bullish) or low < OB low (bearish)
- Strict Mode: Impulse must fully engulf OB candle
**Criterion 3 - Volatility Filter:**
Displacement = |Impulse Close - OB extremity|
Minimum Required = ATR(14) × Multiplier (default 0.5)
Valid if: Displacement ≥ Minimum
**Mitigation:** OBs tracked until price reaches 50% midpoint (Close or Wick-based).
---
### Fair Value Gap Calculation
**Detection Logic:**
Bullish FVG:
Gap = Current Low - High
Valid if: Gap > ATR(14) × 0.3 AND no candle overlap
Bearish FVG:
Gap = Low - Current High
Valid if: Gap > ATR(14) × 0.3 AND no candle overlap
**Visualization:** 13 layered boxes per FVG to emphasize liquidity void depth.
**Mitigation:** FVG removed when price fully crosses the gap zone.
---
### Premium/Discount Zones
**Calculation:**
Range Source (configurable):
Daily: request.security("D", high/low)
Weekly: request.security("W", high/low)
Monthly: request.security("M", high/low)
Trailing: Updates on each BOS
5-Zone Fibonacci Mode:
Strong Premium: 78.6% - 100%
Premium: 61.8% - 78.6% (OTE zone)
Equilibrium: 38.2% - 61.8%
Discount: 23.6% - 38.2%
Strong Discount: 0% - 23.6%
**Purpose:** Institutional context - buy in Discount, sell in Premium.
---
### Market Structure (BOS/MSS/CHoCH)
**Logic:**
Swing Detection: ta.pivothigh/pivotlow with adjustable length (default 10)
BOS (Break of Structure):
Price breaks last swing high in uptrend = continuation
Price breaks last swing low in downtrend = continuation
MSS (Market Structure Shift):
BOS occurs opposite to current trend = reversal signal
CHoCH (Change of Character):
Price touches but doesn't break previous swing = early warning
---
### Ichimoku Cloud (Multi-Timeframe)
**Calculation:**
Tenkan = (9-high + 9-low) / 2
Kijun = (26-high + 26-low) / 2
Senkou A = (Tenkan + Kijun) / 2
Senkou B = (52-high + 52-low) / 2
MTF: request.security() for higher timeframe if specified
Cloud color: Green if Senkou A ≥ B, Red otherwise
**Filter:** Price above cloud = bullish, below = bearish, in cloud = neutral.
---
### Fibonacci Auto-Retracement
**Method:**
SwingHigh = ta.highest(high, 80)
SwingLow = ta.lowest(low, 80)
Range = SwingHigh - SwingLow
Levels: 0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%
OTE Zone Box: 61.8% - 78.6% projected forward
---
### Previous Day Levels (ICT)
**Calculation:**
PDH = request.security("D", high, lookahead=on)
PDL = request.security("D", low, lookahead=on)
PDM = (PDH + PDL) / 2
Daily Bias:
Close > PDM = Bullish
Close < PDM = Bearish
Break PDH/PDL = Strong bias confirmation
---
## Dashboard - Real-Time Confluence Tracking
Displays current market state:
- **Trend:** Current structure (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
- **HTF Bias:** Higher timeframe direction
- **OB:** Active Order Block status
- **FVG:** Active Fair Value Gap status
- **OB+FVG:** Confluence confirmation (✓ = overlap)
- **P/D Zone:** Current Premium/Discount position
- **Fib OTE:** Inside 61.8-78.6% zone or not
- **Daily Bias:** ICT daily directional bias
- **RSI(14):** Oversold/Neutral/Overbought
- **Ichimoku:** Price position vs cloud
---

Optimal Day Trading System🚥 How to Trade with ODTS
The indicator provides visual cues on the chart (triangles) and a real-time Status Table to help you make decisions.
Signal Definitions
Buy Signal (Green Triangle): Price is above the Sunya line and the Primary Cycle is trending up.
Strong Buy (Lime Triangle): All criteria are met, plus the Secondary Cycle has also turned bullish. This indicates "confluence".
Sell Signal (Red Triangle): Price is below the Sunya line and the Primary Cycle is trending down.
Strong Sell (Maroon Triangle): Both Primary and Secondary cycles are aligned with a price break below the Sunya line.
Real-Time Status Table
Located at the top right, this table gives you an instant "health check" of the current asset:
Price > Sunya: Confirms if the current price is above or below the FLD.
Cycle Dir: Shows the slope of the primary trend.
Position: Tells you if price is "Inside" the envelope (ranging) or "Above/Below" (overextended).
📈 Best Practices
Confluence is Key: The strongest trades occur when the Signal column in the table shows "STRONG BUY" or "STRONG SELL," meaning multiple cycles are in agreement.
Envelope Extremes: If the Status Table shows the Position as "ABOVE" or "BELOW" the envelope, be cautious about entering new trades, as the price may be overextended and due for a reversion to the Basis (mean).
Timeframe Synergy: Use the 15-minute timeframe for swing trade entries and the 1-minute or 5-minute for precise day trading executions.
Intraday Toolkit1. Visual Components of the Indicator
Understanding the visual cues is essential for quick decision-making during fast-moving intraday sessions:
Trend Background: The background color represents the Primary Cycle (80-period) bias. Green indicates a bullish trend (price is above the primary cycle), and red indicates a bearish trend (price is below the primary cycle).
The Three Cycles:
Yellow Line: Short Cycle (20) – Used for momentum triggers.
Orange Line: Mid Cycle (40) – Represents the baseline for volatility envelopes.
Red Line: Primary Cycle (80) – Defines the overall trend direction.
Volatility Envelopes: Two green lines plotted at a distance (1.5x ATR) from the Mid Cycle. These act as exhaustion zones where price is likely to revert or consolidate.
Rule 3 Signals (Purple Circles): These appear when a specific 3-candle momentum breakout occurs.
2. Trading Strategy for 5m & 15m
This toolkit is most effective when you use the 15m chart for trend confirmation and the 5m chart for precise entries.
Long (Buy) Setup
Enter a long position when the following alignment occurs:
Bullish Bias: The background must be Green (Price > Primary Cycle).
Cycle Low: A pivot low must have been detected (the indicator identifies a local bottom).
Momentum Trigger: Price must close above the Yellow Short Cycle line while the previous candle was below it.
Rule 3 Confirmation: If a purple circle appears simultaneously, it confirms strong buying momentum.
Short (Sell) Setup
Enter a short position when the following alignment occurs:
Bearish Bias: The background must be Red (Price < Primary Cycle).
Cycle High: A pivot high must have been detected (the indicator identifies a local top).
Momentum Trigger: Price must close below the Yellow Short Cycle line while the previous candle was above it.
Rule 3 Confirmation: A purple circle above the price confirms a bearish momentum shift.
3. Exit and Take-Profit Logic
The script includes "State Control" to manage your exits effectively:
Targeting the Envelopes: The primary profit target is the Outer Green Envelope. If price touches the upper envelope (for longs) or lower envelope (for shorts), the trend may be exhausted.
Momentum Exit: If price crosses back over the Yellow Short Cycle line in the opposite direction of your trade, the toolkit considers the move over and signals an exit.
4. Specific Tips for Day Trading
Avoid "Counter-Trend" Signals: Do not take Buy signals if the background is Red, or Sell signals if the background is Green. The logic is built to filter these out for better win rates.
The "Rule 3" Advantage: Use the purple circles as a "second chance" entry. If you missed the initial Buy/Sell signal, a Rule 3 circle indicates momentum is still strong in that direction.
Timeframe Synergy: * 15m: Best for seeing the "Big Picture" and avoiding noise.
5m: Best for finding entries with smaller stop-losses near the Yellow Short Cycle line.
Session Liquidity Sweep + Trend ConfirmationThis strategy aims to capture high-probability intraday trades by combining liquidity sweeps with a trend confirmation filter. It is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to trade breakouts during specific market sessions while controlling risk with ATR-based stops.
How it Works:
Session Filter: Trades are only considered during a defined session (default 9:30 - 11:00). This helps avoid low-volume periods that can lead to false signals.
Trend Confirmation: The strategy uses a 50-period EMA to identify the market trend. Long trades are only taken in an uptrend, and short trades in a downtrend.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A long entry occurs when price dips below the prior N-bar low but closes back above it, indicating a potential liquidity sweep that stops being triggered before the trend continues upward.
A short entry occurs when price spikes above the prior N-bar high but closes below it, signaling a potential sweep of stops before the downward trend resumes.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
Stop loss is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a configurable factor (default 1.5).
Take profit is set based on a risk-reward ratio (default 2.5x).
Position Sizing: Default position size is 5% of equity per trade, making it suitable for risk-conscious trading.
Inputs:
Session Start/End (HHMM)
Liquidity Lookback Period (number of bars to define prior high/low)
ATR Length for stop calculation
ATR Stop Multiplier
Risk-Reward Ratio
EMA Trend Filter Length
Visuals:
Prior Liquidity High (red)
Prior Liquidity Low (green)
EMA Trend (blue)
Why Use This Strategy:
Captures stop-hunt moves often triggered by larger market participants.
Only trades with trend confirmation, reducing false signals.
Provides automatic ATR-based stop loss and take profit for consistent risk management.
Easy to adjust session time, ATR, EMA length, and risk-reward to suit your trading style.

ColorFlow EMA📊 ColorFlow EMA — Trend Flow & Bias Indicator
🔹 What This Indicator Does
ColorFlow EMA is a clean, visual trend-flow indicator designed to show directional bias and momentum state at a glance.
It uses two exponential moving averages:
Fast EMA (default: 10)
Slow EMA (default: 20)
The area between the EMAs is color-shaded to clearly display whether price is in a bullish or bearish flow.
🎨 Visual Logic
🔵 Blue shading → Bullish flow
(Fast EMA above Slow EMA)
🔴 Red shading → Bearish flow
(Fast EMA below Slow EMA)
Optional crossover markers can be enabled for visual confirmation when EMA alignment changes.
🧠 How to Use ColorFlow EMA
This indicator is not a standalone strategy and is not intended for signal-chasing.
It is best used as a context and bias filter alongside:
Price action

Support & resistance or supply & demand zones
Pullbacks vs premium/discount
Typical use cases:
Favor longs when the flow is blue
Favor shorts when the flow is red
Avoid forcing trades when EMAs are tangled or flat
Wait for pullbacks into structure instead of chasing price
⚠️ Important Notes
EMA crossovers alone do not guarantee profitable trades
Market conditions, structure, and location always matter
Works best in trending or transitioning markets
Not designed for ranging/choppy environments without context
⚙️ Customization
EMA lengths can be adjusted
Crossover markers can be toggled on/off
Designed to stay visually clean and uncluttered
🎯 Who This Indicator Is For
Traders who prioritize price action over indicators
Intraday traders (forex, indices, ETFs, stocks)

EMA Buy/Sell & Smart Zones(5Min TF only)### **Indicator Title:**
**EMA Buy/Sell & Smart Zones**
---
### **Description:**
**EMA Buy/Sell & Smart Zones** is a specialized intraday trading tool designed to combine trend analysis with precise market structure zones. This script utilizes a custom tracking algorithm to identify the **specific candle** that formed the previous session's high or low, allowing it to plot accurate Supply and Demand zones for the current trading day.
This indicator has been rigorously tested on the **Nifty Index** and is optimized for use on the **5-minute timeframe**.
### **Key Features**
**1. Smart Session Wick Zones ("True Wick" Logic)**
The indicator automatically scans every candle of the previous session to locate the exact price action that formed the day's extremes.
* **Smart High Zone:** Identifies the specific candle that made yesterday's High and plots a zone from that High down to that candle's Open or Close (based on body direction).
* **Smart Low Zone:** Identifies the specific candle that made yesterday's Low and plots a zone from that Low up to that candle's Open or Close.
* **Close Range:** Highlights the High-Low range of the very last candle of the previous session to show the closing sentiment.
*All zones automatically stop extending at the end of the current session, ensuring the chart remains clean and historically accurate.*
**2. EMA Trend System**
The script plots three key Exponential Moving Averages to define market direction:
* **EMA 21:** Captures short-term momentum.
* **EMA 63:** Defines the medium-term trend.
* **EMA 1575:** Establishes the long-term baseline.
**3. Buy/Sell Signals**
Clear signals are generated on the chart based on specific criteria:
* **BUY Signal:** Generated when a green candle closes above the EMA 21 and EMA 63.
* **SELL Signal:** Generated when a red candle closes below the EMA 21 and EMA 63.
* *Note: The logic includes a filter to alternate signals (Buy -> Sell -> Buy), preventing clutter during choppy markets.*
### **How to Use**
* **Recommended Timeframe:** **5 Minutes**.
* **Recommended Markets:** Indices (Nifty, Bank Nifty) and high-volume stocks.
* **Workflow:**
* Use the **Smart Zones** (Red/Green boxes) to identify potential rejection areas or breakout targets.
* Use the **Buy/Sell Labels** as confirmation triggers when price is reacting near these zones or trending strongly above/below the EMAs.
### **Settings & Customization**
* **Visibility Control:** Toggle each box type (High, Low, Close) and text labels on or off individually.
* **Color Customization:** Fully adjustable colors for all EMAs, Zone Backgrounds, Borders, and Text Labels to suit your chart theme.
* **Label Size:** Adjust the text size of the zone labels directly from the settings menu.

Intraday Session Ranges (Asian-London-NY) - JonathanJD86This script is a technical utility designed to automatically track and visualize the high and low price levels of the three major trading sessions (Asian, London, and New York).
How it works: The script uses the time() function with the America/New_York timezone anchor to ensure accuracy regardless of the user's local time. It tracks the maximum and minimum price values during specific user-defined intervals.
Key Methodology:
Vertical Tick Offset: Unlike standard session boxes, this tool allows users to set a vertical gap (in ticks) so that the labels do not overlap the candle wicks, providing a clearer view of the actual price action.
Session Intervals: Defaulted to high-activity windows: Asian (20:00-00:00), London (02:00-05:00), and New York (08:30-16:00).
Dynamic Visibility: The script includes a logical check to automatically hide levels on timeframes higher than 1H, preventing chart clutter during macro analysis.
EMA Exhaustion + ContinuationA fast, mechanical scalping system that detects EMA exhaustion, filters with RSI, and manages exits plus continuations.
This indicator is designed for ultra‑short timeframe scalping, where speed and clarity matter more than anything else. It combines three core elements into one mechanical workflow:
- EMA Spread Exhaustion
The system measures the distance between fast and slow EMAs relative to ATR. When the spread reaches extreme levels and then begins to contract, it signals exhaustion — the point where momentum is likely to stall or reverse. This gives traders a structural way to identify setups without relying on subjective “feel.”
- RSI Filter (Accelerated for Scalping)
A shortened RSI (default length 7) is normalized by ATR to match the tempo of 15‑second scalps. This filter ensures that entries only trigger when momentum aligns with the exhaustion signal, reducing false positives and keeping trades in sync with volatility.
- Entry, Exit, and Continuation Logic
- Entries:
- Long entry triggers when spread retreats, EMA‑3 crosses price, and RSI confirms bearish exhaustion (RSI < 0).
- Short entry triggers under the opposite conditions (spread retreat, EMA‑3 cross, RSI > 0).
- Icons: Blue arrow up for longs, Red arrow down for shorts.
- Exits:
- Long exits occur when price closes below the 7 EMA smoothed by SMA‑2 while all EMAs are still sloping upward.
- Icon: Yellow cross above the candle.
- Continuations:
- Long continuation triggers when price dips below EMA‑9 and then reclaims above it.
- Short continuation triggers when price closes above EMA‑9 and then reclaims below it.
- Icons: Green triangle up for long continuation, Purple triangle down for short continuation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Apply the indicator to your chart. I use 15 second chart
- Watch for blue/red arrows — these are your primary entry signals.
- Respect yellow crosses — they mark mechanical exit points.
- Use green/purple triangles to re‑engage continuation trades after shallow pullbacks. I only take the first continuation signal above/below the 20 EMA.
- Keep the RSI filter active to avoid chasing false setups.
- Combine with your risk management rules (position sizing, stop placement) for full system integrity.
Delta Hedging Pressure📊 COT Delta Hedging Pressure – Institutional Sentiment Indicator
This indicator visualizes institutional hedging pressure by aggregating delta-style positioning into a clean, session-aware sentiment framework.

PLOW/PLHW (Potential weekly highs/lows)AP Capital – PLOW / PLHW (Potential Weekly Low / High)
This indicator highlights Potential Weekly Lows (PLOW) and Potential Weekly Highs (PLHW) in real time, using current-week price action, session context, and confirmed candle closes.
It is designed for intraday and swing traders who want early-week and late-week structure levels without repainting or hindsight bias.
🔹 How It Works
Potential Weekly Low (PLOW)

Institutional PointOverview Institutional Point is a sophisticated data-mining indicator designed to identify and track "institutional footprints" by isolating the single candle with the highest volume relative to a specific time anchor. Unlike traditional volume profiles that aggregate data into price bins, this script pinpoints the exact temporal origin of massive liquidity injections.
Core Methodology The script operates on a multi-timeframe analysis engine (MTF). It scans sub-chart data (2-minute or 15-minute intervals) to find the absolute maximum volume peak within a defined period. Once the "Institutional Point" is identified:
Source Identification: The origin candle is highlighted in white, signaling a high-conviction entry or exit by large-scale market participants.
Zone Projection: A borderless "Institutional Zone" is projected forward from the spike’s high/low range.
Dynamic Interaction: The zone remains active until the price revisits the area (mitigation) or until the time-based expiration is reached.
Anchor Modes & Precision
8-Hour Cycle: Optimized for high-frequency scalping. Anchors reset at 00:00, 08:00, and 16:00. Utilizes ultra-precise 2-minute volume detection.
Daily Session: Designed for intraday and swing traders. Anchors to the Daily Open. Utilizes 2-minute volume detection to isolate precise institutional orders.
Weekly Cycle: Built for identifying major structural pivots. Anchors to the Weekly Open. Utilizes 15-minute volume detection for macro-liquidity analysis.
Key Features
Naked Level Tracking: Zones automatically stop extending the moment they are "hit" by price action, providing a clean visual of unmitigated liquidity.
Anti-Noise Filter: Automatically excludes Saturday and Sunday data to maintain statistical integrity across global markets.
Minimalist Interface: High-contrast visual design focused on scannability and professional chart aesthetics.
Use Cases
Data Science & Backtesting: Ideal for measuring the "Z-Score" or "Percentile Distance" from institutional peaks.
Supply & Demand Trading: Automated identification of the "Origin of the Move."
Magnet Analysis: Tracking "Naked" volume spikes as high-probability magnets for future price mean reversion.
Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator [ApexLegion]Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
The Market Regime | NY Session Killzones indicator is designed exclusively for New York market hours (07:00-16:00 ET). Unlike universal indicators that attempt to function across disparate global sessions, this tool employs session-specific calibration to target the distinct liquidity characteristics of the NY trading day: Pre-Market structural formation (08:00-09:30), the Morning breakout window (09:30-12:00), and the Afternoon Killzone (13:30-16:00)—periods when institutional order flow exhibits the highest concentration and most definable technical structure. By restricting its operational scope to these statistically significant time windows, the indicator focuses on signal relevance while filtering the noise inherent in lower-liquidity overnight or extended-hours trading environments.
I. TECHNICAL RATIONALE: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXTUAL FUSION
1. The Limitation of Acontextual Indicators
Traditional technical indicators often fail because they treat every bar and every market session equally, applying static thresholds (e.g., RSI > 70) without regard for the underlying market structure or liquidity environment. However, institutional volume and market volatility are highly dependent on the time of day (session) and the prevailing long-term risk environment.
This indicator was developed to address this "contextual deficit" by fusing three distinct yet interdependent analytical layers:
• Time and Structure (Macro): Identifying high-probability trading windows (Killzones) and critical structural levels (Pre-Market Range, PDH/PDL).
• Volatility and Scoring (Engine): Normalizing intraday momentum against annual volatility data to create an objective, statistically grounded AI Score.
• Risk Management (Execution): Implementing dynamic, volatility-adjusted Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) parameters based on the Average True Range (ATR).
2. The Mandate for 252-Day Normalization (Z-Score)
What makes this tool unique is its 252-day Z-Score normalization engine that transforms raw momentum readings into statistically grounded probability scores, allowing the same indicator to deliver consistent, context-aware signals across any timeframe—from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades—without manual recalibration.
THE PROBLEM OF SCALE INVARIANCE
A high Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading on a 1-minute chart has a completely different market implication than a high RSI reading on a Daily chart. Simple percentage-based thresholds (like 70 or 30) do not provide true contextual significance. A sudden spike in momentum may look extreme on a 5-minute chart, but if it is statistically insignificant compared to the overall volatility of the last year, it may be a poor signal.
THE SOLUTION: CROSS-TIMEFRAME Z-SCORE NORMALIZATION
This indicator utilizes the Pine Script function request.security to reference the Daily timeframe for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of a momentum oscillator (RSI) over the past 252 trading days (one year).
The indicator then calculates the Z-Score (Z) for the current bar's raw momentum (x): Z = (x - μ) / σ
Core Implementation: float raw_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) // x
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D",
, // σ (252 days)
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 // Z
This score provides an objective measurement of current intraday momentum significance by evaluating its statistical extremity against the yearly baseline of daily momentum. This standardized approach provides the scoring engine with consistent, global contextual information, independent of the chart's current viewing timeframe.
II. CORE COMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
1. TIME AND SESSION ANALYSIS (KILLZONES AND BIAS)
The indicator visually segments the trading day based on New York (NY) trading sessions, aligning the analysis with periods of high institutional liquidity events.
Pre-Market (PRE)
• Function: Defines the range before the core market opens. This range establishes structural support and resistance levels (PMH/PML).
• Technical Implementation: Uses a dedicated Session input (ny_pre_sess). The High and Low values (pm_h_val/pm_l_val) within this session are stored and plotted for structural reference.
• Smart Extension Logic: PMH/PML lines are automatically extended until the next Pre-Market session begins, providing continuous support/resistance references overnight.
NY Killzones (AM/PM)
• Function: Highlights high-probability volatility windows where institutional liquidity is expected to be highest (e.g., NY open, lunch, NY close).
• Technical Implementation: Separate session inputs (kz_ny_am, kz_ny_pm) are utilized to draw translucent background fills, providing a clear visual cue for timing.
Market Regime Bias
• Function: Determines the initial directional premise for the trading day. The bias is confirmed when the price breaks either the Pre-Market High (PMH) or the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Technical Implementation: Involves the comparison of the close price against the predefined structural levels (check_h for PMH, check_l for PML). The variable active_bias is set to Bullish or Bearish upon confirmed breakout.
Trend Bar Coloring
• Function: Applies a visual cue to the bars based on the established regime (Bullish=Cyan, Bearish=Red). This visual filter helps mitigate noise from counter-trend candles.
• Technical Implementation: The Pine Script barcolor() function is tied directly to the value of the determined active_bias.
2. VOLATILITY NORMALIZED SCORING ENGINE
The internal scoring mechanism accumulates points from multiple market factors to determine the strength and validity of a signal. The purpose is to apply a robust filtering mechanism before generating an entry.
The score accumulation logic is based on the following factors:
• Market Bias Alignment (+3 Points): Points are awarded for conformance with the determined active_bias (Bullish/Bearish).
• VWAP Alignment (+2 Points): Assesses the position of the current price relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Alignment suggests conformity with the average institutional transaction price.
• Volume Anomaly (+2 Points): Detects a price move accompanied by an abnormally high relative volume (odd_vol_spike). This suggests potential institutional participation or significant order flow.
• VIX Integration (+2 Points): A score derived from the CBOE VIX index, assessing overall market stability and stress. Stable VIX levels add points, while high VIX levels (stress regimes) remove points or prevent signal generation entirely.
• ML Probability Score (+3 Points): This is the core predictive engine. It utilizes a Log-Manhattan Distance Kernel to compare the current market state against historical volatility patterns. The script implements a Log-linear distance formula (log(1 + |Δ|) ). This approach mathematically dampens the impact of extreme volatility spikes (outliers), ensuring that the similarity score reflects true structural alignment rather than transient market noise.
Core Technical Logic (Z-Score Normalization)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0
• Technical Purpose: This line calculates the Z-Score (cur_rsi_norm) of the current momentum oscillator reading (raw_rsi) by normalizing it against the mean (d_rsi_mean) and standard deviation (d_rsi_std) derived from 252 days of Daily momentum data. If the standard deviation is zero (market is perfectly flat), it safely returns 0.0 to prevent division by zero runtime errors. This allows the AI's probability score to be based on the current signal's significance within the context of the entire trading year.
3. EXECUTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ATR MODEL)
The indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) volatility model. This helps risk management scale dynamically with market volatility by allowing users to define TP/SL distances independently based on the current ATR.
Stop Loss Multiplier (sl_mult)
• Function: Sets the Stop Loss (SL) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_sl_price := close - (atr_val * sl_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tp_mult)
• Function: Sets the Take Profit (TP) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 3.0 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_tp_price := close + (atr_val * tp_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Structural SL Option
• Function: Provides an override to the ATR-based SL calculation. When enabled, it forces the Stop Loss to the Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) level, aligning the stop with a key institutional structural boundary.
• Technical Logic: The indicator checks the use_struct_sl input. If true, the calculated last_sl_price is overridden with either pm_h_val or pm_l_val, dependent on the specific trade direction.
Trend Continuation Logic
• Function: Enables signal generation in established, strong trends (typically in the Afternoon session) based on follow-through momentum (a new high/low of the previous bar) combined with a high Signal Score, rather than exclusively relying on the initial PMH/PML breakout.
• Technical Logic: For a long signal, the is_cont_long logic specifically requires checks like active_bias == s_bull AND close > high , confirming follow-through momentum within the established regime.
Smart Snapping & Cleanup (16:00 Market Close)
• Function: To maintain chart cleanliness, all trade boxes (TP/SL), AI Prediction zones, Killzone overlays (NY AM/PM), and Liquidity lines (PDH/PDL) are automatically "snapped" and cut off precisely at 16:00 NY Time (Market Close).
• Technical Logic: When is_market_close condition is met (hour == 16 and minute == 0), the script executes cleanup logic that:
◦ Closes active trades and evaluates final P&L
◦ Snaps all TP/SL box widths to current bar
◦ Truncates AI Prediction ghost boxes at market close
◦ Cuts off NY AM/PM Killzone background fills
◦ Terminates PDH/PDL line extensions
◦ Prevents visual clutter from extending into post-market sessions
4. LIQUIDITY AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The indicator plots key structural levels that serve as high-probability magnet zones or areas of potential liquidity absorption.
• Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML): These are the high and low established during the configured pre-market session (ny_pre_sess). They define the primary structural breakout level for the day, often serving as the initial market inflection point or the key entry level for the morning session.
• PDH (Previous Day High): The high of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This represents a key Liquidity Pool; large orders are often placed above this level, making it a frequent target for stop hunts or liquidity absorption by market makers.
• PDL (Previous Day Low): The low of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This also represents a key Liquidity Pool and a high-probability reversal or accumulation point, particularly during the Killzones.
FIFO Array Management
The indicator uses FIFO (First-In-First-Out) array structures to manage liquidity lines and labels, automatically deleting the oldest objects when the count exceeds 500 to comply with drawing object limits.
5. AI PREDICTION BOX (PREDICTIVE MODEL)
Function: Analyzes AI scores and volatility to project predicted killzone ranges and duration with asymmetric directional bias.
A. DIRECTIONAL BIAS (ASYMMETRIC EXPANSION)
The prediction model calculates directional probability using the ML kernel's 252-day Normalized RSI (Z-Score) and Relative Volume (RVOL). The prediction box dynamically adjusts its range based on this probability to provide immediate visual feedback on high-probability direction.
Bullish Scenario (ml_prob > 1.0):
• Upper Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive upside target
• Lower Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed upward, immediately communicating bullish bias without requiring numerical analysis.
Bearish Scenario (ml_prob < -1.0):
• Upper Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Lower Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive downside target
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed downward, immediately communicating bearish bias.
Neutral Scenario (-1.0 < ml_prob < 1.0):
Both ranges use balanced multipliers, creating a symmetrical box that indicates uncertainty.
B. DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BOOSTER (SESSION-BASED ADAPTATION)
The prediction box adjusts its volatility multiplier based on the current session and market conditions to account for intraday volatility patterns.
AM Session (Morning: 07:00-12:00):
• Base Multiplier: 1.0x (Neutral Base)
• Logic: Morning sessions often contain false breakouts and noise. The base multiplier starts neutral to avoid over-projecting during consolidation.
• Trend Booster: Multiplier jumps to 1.5x when:
Price > London Session Open AND AI is Bullish (ml_prob > 0), OR
Price < London Session Open AND AI is Bearish (ml_prob < 0)
• Logic: When the London trend (typically 03:00-08:00 NY time) aligns with the AI model's directional conviction, the indicator aggressively targets higher volatility expansion. This filters for "institutional follow-through" rather than random morning chop.
PM Session (Afternoon: 13:00-16:00):
• Fixed Multiplier: 1.8x
• Logic: The PM session, particularly the 13:30-16:00 ICT Silver Bullet window, often contains the "True Move" of the day. A higher baseline multiplier is applied to emphasize this session's significance over morning noise.
Safety Floor:
A minimum range of 0.2% of the current price is enforced regardless of volatility conditions.
• Purpose: Maintains the prediction box visibility during extreme low-volatility consolidation periods where ATR might collapse to near-zero values.
Volatility Clamp Protection:
Maximum volatility is capped at three times the current ATR value. During flash crashes, circuit breaker halts, or large overnight gaps, raw volatility calculations can spike to extreme levels. This clamp prevents prediction boxes from expanding to unrealistic widths.
Technical Implementation:
f_get_ai_multipliers(float _prob) =>
float _abs_prob = math.abs(_prob)
float _range_mult = 1.0
float _dur_mult = 1.0
if _abs_prob > 30
_range_mult := 1.8
else if _abs_prob > 10
_range_mult := 1.2
else
_range_mult := 0.7
C. PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION
• Wide Upper Range + Tight Lower Range: Strong bullish conviction. The model expects significant upside with limited downside risk.
• Tight Upper Range + Wide Lower Range: Strong bearish conviction. The model expects significant downside with limited upside.
• Symmetrical Range: Neutral/uncertain market. Wait for directional confirmation before entry.
• Large Box (Extended Duration): High-confidence prediction expecting sustained movement.
• Small Box (Short Duration): Low-confidence or choppy conditions. Expect quick resolution.
III. PRACTICAL USAGE GUIDE: METHODOLOGY AND EXECUTION
A. ESTABLISHING TRADING CONTEXT (THE THREE CHECKS)
The primary goal of the dashboard is to filter out low-probability trade setups before they occur.
• Timeframe Selection: Although the core AI is normalized to the Daily context, the indicator performs optimally on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) where session-based volatility is most pronounced.
• PHASE Check (Timing): Always confirm the current phase. The highest probability signals typically occur within the visually highlighted NY AM/PM Killzones because this is when institutional liquidity and volume are at their peak. Signals outside these zones should be treated with skepticism.
• MARKET REGIME Check (Bias): Ensure the signal (BUY/SELL arrow) aligns with the established MARKET REGIME bias (BULLISH/BEARISH). Counter-bias signals are technically allowed if the score is high, but they represent a higher risk trade.
• VIX REGIME Check (Risk): Review the VIX REGIME for overall market stress. Periods marked DANGER (high VIX) indicate elevated volatility and market uncertainty. During DANGER regimes, reducing position size or choosing a wider SL Multiplier is advisable.
B. DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION (THE REAL-TIME STATUS DISPLAY)
The indicator features a non-intrusive dashboard that provides real-time, context-aware information based on the core analytical engines.
PHASE: (PRE-MARKET, NY-AM, LUNCH, NY-PM)
• Meaning: Indicates the current institutional session time. This is derived from the customizable session inputs.
• Interpretation: Signals generated during NY-AM or NY-PM (Killzones) are generally considered higher-probability due to increased institutional participation and liquidity.
MARKET REGIME: (BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL)
• Meaning: The established directional bias for the trading day, confirmed by the price breaking above the Pre-Market High (PMH) or below the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Interpretation: Trading with the established regime (e.g., taking a BUY signal when the regime is BULLISH) is the primary method. NEUTRAL indicates that the PMH/PML boundary has not yet been broken, suggesting market ambiguity.
VIX REGIME: (STABLE, DANGER)
• Meaning: A measure of overall market stress and stability, based on the CBOE VIX index integration. The thresholds (20.0 and 35.0 default) are customizable by the user.
• Interpretation: STABLE indicates stable volatility, favoring momentum trades. DANGER (VIX > 35.0) indicates extreme stress; signals generated in this environment require caution and often necessitate smaller position sizing.
SIGNAL SCORE: (0 to 10+ Points)
• Meaning: The accumulated score derived from the VOLATILITY NORMALIZED AI SCORING ENGINE, factoring in bias, VWAP alignment, volume, and the Z-Score probability.
• Interpretation: The indicator generates a signal when this score meets or exceeds the Minimum Entry Score (default 3). A higher score (e.g., 7+) indicates greater statistical confluence and a stronger potential entry.
AI PROBABILITY: (Bull/Bear %)
• Meaning: Directional probability derived from the ML kernel, expressed as a percentage with Bull/Bear label.
• Interpretation: Higher absolute values (>20%) indicate stronger directional conviction from the ML model.
LIVE METRICS SECTION:
• STATUS: Shows current trade state (LONG, SHORT, or INACTIVE)
• ENTRY: Displays the entry price for active trades
• TARGET: Shows the calculated Take Profit level
• ROI | KILL ZONE:
◦ For Active Trades: Displays real-time P&L percentage during NY session hours.
◦ At Market Close (16:00 NY): Since this is a NY session-specific indicator, any active position is automatically evaluated and closed at 16:00. The final result (VALIDATED or INVALIDATED) is determined based on whether the trade reached profit or loss at market close.
◦ Result Persistence: The killzone result (VALIDATED/INVALIDATED) remains displayed on the dashboard until the next NY AM KILLZONE session begins, providing a clear performance reference for the previous trading day.
Note: If a trade is still trending at 16:00, it will be force-closed and evaluated at that moment, as the indicator operates strictly within NY trading hours.
C. SIGNAL GENERATION AND ENTRY LOGIC
The indicator generates signals based on two distinct technical setups, both of which require the accumulated SIGNAL SCORE to be above the configured Minimum Entry Score.
Breakout Entry
• Trigger Condition: Price closes beyond the Pre-Market High (PMH) or Low (PML).
• Rationale: This setup targets the initial directional movement for the day. A breakout confirms the institutional bias by decisively breaking the first major structural boundary, making the signal high-probability.
Continuation Entry
• Trigger Condition: The market is already in an established regime (e.g., BULLISH), and the price closes above the high (or below the low) of the previous bar, while the SIGNAL SCORE remains high. Requires the Allow Trend Continuation parameter to be active.
• Rationale: This setup targets follow-through trades, typically in the afternoon session, capturing momentum after the morning's direction has been confirmed. This filters for sustainability in the established trend.
Execution: Execute the trade immediately upon the close of the bar that prints the BUY or SELL signal arrow.
D. MANAGING RISK AND EXITS
1. RISK PARAMETER SELECTION
The indicator immediately draws the dynamic TP/SL zones upon entry.
• Volatility-Based (Recommended Default): By setting the SL Multiplier (e.g., 1.5) and the TP Multiplier (e.g., 3.0), the indicator enforces a constant, dynamically sized risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2 in this example). This helps that risk management scales proportionally with the current market volatility (ATR).
• Structural Override: Selecting the Use Structural SL parameter fixes the stop-loss not to the ATR calculation, but to the more significant structural level of the PMH or PML. This is utilized by traders who favor institutional entry rules where the stop is placed behind the liquidity boundary.
2. EXIT METHODS
• Hard Exit: Price hits the visual TP or SL box boundary.
• Soft Exit (Momentum Decay Filter): If the trade is active and the SIGNAL SCORE drops below the Exit Score Threshold (default 3), it indicates that the momentum supporting the trade has significantly collapsed. This serves as a momentum decay filter, prompting the user to consider a manual early exit even if the SL/TP levels have not been hit, thereby preserving capital during low-momentum consolidation.
• Market Close Auto-Exit: At 16:00 NY time, any active trade is automatically closed and classified as VALIDATED (profit) or INVALIDATED (loss) based on current price vs. entry price.

V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS
⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility)
This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h).
Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation.
Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional.
⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500)
A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously.
On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data.
For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h).
The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data.
VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES
• Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter.
• Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached.
• VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade.
• Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested.
• 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity.

APC HIRO Proxy Flow PressureAP Capital – HIRO Proxy (Flow Pressure)
AP Capital – HIRO Proxy is a price- and volume-based flow pressure oscillator designed to approximate institutional hedging / directional pressure using only native chart data.
⚠️ This is a proxy model. It does not use options-market data or real SpotGamma HIRO feeds.
🔍 What this indicator does
The indicator measures directional efficiency × volume pressure on every bar, accumulates it intraday, and then normalizes the result using a Z-score so it adapts cleanly across symbols and timeframes.
The output is displayed as candle-style pressure bars, making momentum shifts and pressure flips visually obvious.
🧠 Core Logic
Directional Efficiency
Measures how effectively price closes within its candle range
Strong closes near highs/lows increase pressure
Volume Weighting
Pressure is weighted by volume (optionally logarithmic)
Prevents single spikes from distorting the signal
Cumulative Flow
Pressure accumulates bar-by-bar
Optional daily reset for intraday trading
Z-Score Normalization
Normalizes pressure relative to recent history
Allows consistent thresholds across assets
📊 How to read the indicator
Green candles above zero
→ Net bullish pressure (buyers in control)
Red candles below zero
→ Net bearish pressure (sellers in control)
Zero line
→ Neutral balance / transition zone
±1 / ±2 Z-Bands
→ Elevated or extreme pressure conditions
Triangle signals
▲ Up Pressure → Z-score crosses above positive threshold
▼ Down Pressure → Z-score crosses below negative threshold

Session Anchored OIWAP [Arjo]The Session Anchored OIWAP (Open Interest Weighted Average Price) indicator shows you a weighted average price that uses Open Interest (OI) changes during different trading sessions . It divides the day into four clear sessions: Opening Hour , Morning Session , Mid-Day Session , and Closing Session .
For each session , it calculates a weighted average price using both market price and open interest data from futures . This line updates as the session progresses and resets when a new session starts .
You can also see optional deviation bands that you visually compare to how far the market price is moving away from the session’s weighted average. This indicator also helps you watch how Open Interest changes connect with price movements during specific market hours.
Concepts
This tool works on a few simple ideas:
Session anchoring
Each session starts fresh. The indicator resets and begins a new calculation when a new time block begins. This allows users to visually study each session independently.
Open-interest weighting
Instead of treating all price moves equally, price changes linked to higher open-interest activity have more influence on the OIWAP. This gives a weighted reflection of where the market has been trading during the session.
Averaging and smoothing
The OIWAP line blends many price data points into one smooth curve, making it easier to follow than raw price movement.
Volatility display with bands
The upper and lower bands are placed at ±0.5 standard deviation from the OIWAP line. These bands simply help you see when price stretches further away than usual from the session average.
Features
Four Independent Session Calculations: Shows separate OIWAP lines for Opening Hour (default: 09:15-10:15), Morning (10:15-11:30), Mid-Day (11:30-14:00), and Closing (14:00-15:30) sessions
Open Interest Weighting: Uses absolute OI change as the weight instead of traditional volume
Customizable Session Times: You can change the time ranges for each session to match your market or what you need
Optional Deviation Bands: You can turn ±0.5 standard deviation bands on or off around each OIWAP line
Color-Coded Sessions: Each session has its own color so you can tell them apart easily
Selective Display: You can turn individual sessions and bands on or off
Data Availability Check: Shows you a notification when Open Interest data isn't available for your symbol
Adjustable Position Timeframe: You can calculate OI changes on different timeframes (Chart, Daily, 15min, 30min, 60min, 120min)
How to use
Add this indicator to a chart of any symbol that has Open Interest data ( from futures or derivatives contracts). Once you add it, you'll see colored lines showing the OIWAP for each session you enable, along with optional deviation bands.
Adjusting Settings:
Turn individual sessions on or off using the checkboxes in the " Sessions " section
Change session colors to match your chart or what looks good to you
Turn deviation bands on or off using the " Show Bands " option in the Display settings
Change session time ranges in the " Session Times " section to match your market hours or what you want to analyze
Change the Position Timeframe if you want to see OI changes calculated on a different time period
Visual Interpretation:
Each OIWAP line shows you the OI-weighted average price for that session
The deviation bands show you how much prices spread out, weighted by OI changes
You can watch how price interacts with these levels to see where significant OI activity happened
Different sessions may show different OIWAP levels, showing you how the OI-price relationship changes throughout the trading day
Note:
This indicator needs Open Interest data to work. If OI data isn't available for your symbol, you'll see a message in the center of your chart. This indicator works only with derivatives markets like futures and options in the Indian Market where OI data is publicly available.
Conclusion
The Session Anchored OIWAP indicator is designed to support structured market observation by combining price, open interest, and session anchoring into a clear visual format. It helps users study market behavior during different parts of the day without generating trading instructions or outcomes.

Options Liquidity Meter (OLM)❓ The question behind this indicator
When trading options, it is common to experience situations where price moves in the expected direction, yet the option contract does not increase in value as anticipated.
This typically happens when one or more of the following conditions is missing:
Insufficient liquidity participation
Lack of volatility expansion
Weak or passive order flow
Options Liquidity Meter (OLM) was created to address this specific question:
“If price moves from here, are there conditions for option premiums to actually expand?”
🎯 What this indicator does
Options Liquidity Meter is a context tool, not a trading system.
It evaluates whether the current market environment is favorable for option premium expansion , based on three core engines:
Liquidity (Relative Volume)
Measures whether price movement is supported by meaningful participation.
Volatility State
Identifies compression, release, and expansion phases, where options tend to respond differently.
Order Flow Activity (OBV-based)
Acts as a proxy for active vs. passive participation, helping filter hollow moves.
These components are combined into a single, easy-to-read options context.
🟢🟡🔴 Options Context Output
The indicator displays one consolidated state:
RED — NO EXPANSION
Price may move, but option premiums often do not respond.
YELLOW — BUILDING
Liquidity or volatility is developing. Conditions are improving but not fully aligned.
GREEN — EXPANSION LIKELY
Liquidity, volatility expansion, and active flow are aligned.
This is a favorable environment for option premium expansion.
The same logic is reflected visually through the background color and summarized in the dashboard.
📊 How to read the dashboard
The dashboard shows:
Liquidity: LOW / OK / HIGH
Volatility: COMPRESSED / RELEASED / EXPANDING
Order Flow: FLAT / ACTIVE
Options Context: NO EXPANSION / BUILDING / EXPANSION LIKELY
Below, a Background Color Meaning section explains what each color represents, making the indicator intuitive and educational.
📍 Where to apply this indicator
Options Liquidity Meter must be applied to the underlying asset chart, such as:
Indices (SPY, SPX, QQQ, etc.)
Stocks
Futures
ETFs
It is not designed to be applied to option contracts themselves.
The indicator evaluates the market conditions of the underlying, which are the drivers that influence option premium behavior.
Contract selection (strike, delta, gamma, expiration) remains the trader’s responsibility.
🧠 How to use it
Use your own methodology to define:
Direction
Structure
Entries and exits
Use Options Liquidity Meter to evaluate:
Whether the current environment supports option premium expansion
If the context is RED, be cautious — price may move without rewarding options.
If the context is GREEN, the environment is statistically more favorable for options responsiveness.
🔗 Complementary tools
Options Liquidity Meter is designed to complement, not replace, other tools.
It works well alongside:
Opening Path Selector (EMA200 Context Tool)
For deciding which asset offers the cleanest directional context.
Multi-Tool VWAP + EMAs (Multi-Timeframe) + Key Levels
For in-chart structure, bias, and reference levels.
Each tool addresses a different stage of the decision process and can be used independently.
