pD Zones [MMT]pD Zones plots a clean set of intraday high‑of‑day (HOD) and low‑of‑day (LOD) zones that automatically extend forward, flip color on mitigation, and archive as historical levels for context. It is designed to give intraday traders a simple visual map of premium/discount zones derived from a chosen calculation timeframe.
Overview
Objective : Highlight the current day’s HOD/LOD wick zones as actionable intraday support and resistance.
Core logic runs on a user‑selectable source timeframe (default 15m), then projects those zones onto any chart you are trading.
Zones extend into the future, react to price via mitigation logic, and then optionally roll into a dimmed historical layer.
Zone logic
Each session, the script tracks the extreme high and low plus their wick limits (open/close‑based) on the source timeframe to form two intraday zones.
When a new day starts, the finalized prior‑day zones are “locked in” and the current day begins tracking a fresh HOD/LOD pair.
Only one HOD and one LOD zone are created per day, reducing clutter and keeping focus on the most relevant levels.
Mitigation & color flips
Active HOD zones behave as resistance: a decisive break above the top of the box flips it to a bullish (supportive) color profile, while a move back below can re‑flip it.
Active LOD zones behave as support: a break below the bottom of the box flips it to a bearish profile, and a sustained reclaim can re‑flip it as well.
Once mitigated and carried into a new day, zones are restyled with a softer historical color so they remain visible but unobtrusive.
Alerts
When price breaks a HOD zone to the upside, the script can trigger an alert message noting that HOD resistance has been broken and showing the exact level.
When price breaks a LOD zone to the downside, an alert notes that LOD support has been broken, again with the precise price printed.
These alerts are meant for intraday confirmation of structure shifts at key daily extremes, rather than frequent scalper signals.
Inputs & customization
- Calculation Timeframe: choose which timeframe defines the daily HOD/LOD zones (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1h), independent from the chart.
- Visual Settings: customize support/resistance fill colors and border color to integrate with existing layouts.
- Logic Settings:
Max Active Zones: cap how many live zones remain on the chart at once to control noise.
Max Historical Zones: keep only the most recent historical levels or show all past days.
Zone Extension Offset (Bars): control how aggressively boxes project into the future.
- Mitigation Settings: choose the historical zone color to distinguish active levels from archived ones at a glance.

Trend Meter [MMT]The Trend Meter is a dynamic Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a clear, multi-dimensional view of market trends and momentum across different timeframes and metrics. By integrating Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), higher timeframe (HTF) analysis, and Regular Trading Hours (RTH) breakouts, this indicator offers a comprehensive tool for identifying bullish, bearish, or neutral market conditions. Its customizable visual display and label system make it ideal for traders seeking actionable insights for trend-following, breakout, or reversal strategies.
Key Features:
1. Multi-Metric Trend Analysis:
- Trend Meter : Compares a Fast EMA (default: 9) and Slow EMA (default: 21) to determine short-term trend direction.
- Bias Meter : Uses a longer-term Bias EMA (default: 35) to assess the overall market bias based on the close price.
- VWAP Meter : Evaluates price position relative to the VWAP for dynamic support/resistance insights.
- HTF Meter : Analyzes higher timeframe (default: 60-minute) price action, detecting breakouts of previous highs/lows and candle direction.
- RTH Meter : Tracks price breakouts above/below the US Regular Trading Hours (09:30–16:00 EST) 15m opening range (09:30–09:45 EST).
2. Color-Coded Visuals:
- Each metric is displayed as a horizontal line with customizable colors (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
- Visual style options (dotted, dashed, or solid lines) allow for personalized chart clarity.

- Signals bullish or bearish conditions when the price breaks above/below the opening range outside the initial 15-minute window.
6. Higher Timeframe Breakout Detection:
- Monitors HTF price action to identify breakouts of the previous candle’s high or low, combined with the HTF candle’s direction for trend confirmation.
How to Use:
- Trend Confirmation : Use the Trend and Bias Meters to confirm short-term and long-term market direction.
- Breakout Trading : Leverage the RTH Meter for breakout setups above/below the opening range during US trading hours.
- Support/Resistance : Utilize the VWAP Meter to identify dynamic price levels for entries or exits.
- Higher Timeframe Context : Monitor the HTF Meter for broader market trend alignment, ideal for swing or position trading.
- Customization : Adjust EMA lengths, toggle metrics, and customize visual styles and labels to suit your chart preferences.
Settings:
- Bias Settings :
- Fast EMA (default: 9), Slow EMA (default: 21), Bias EMA (default: 35).

Trend Engine [MMT]The Trend Engine is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to identify trend direction, potential reversals, and key price levels using a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and Anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). This indicator provides traders with a clear visual representation of market bias, momentum, and key support/resistance levels, making it suitable for both trend-following and pullback trading strategies.
Key Features:
1. EMA Cloud System:
- Displays three customizable EMAs (Fast, Pullback, and Slow) with configurable lengths and visibility.
- Creates two cloud fills:
- Fast Cloud : Between the Fast EMA (default: 8) and Pullback EMA (default: 13).
- Slow Cloud : Between the Pullback EMA and Slow EMA (default: 21).
- Clouds are color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on EMA alignment, with adjustable transparency for clarity.
2. Bias EMA:
- A longer-term EMA (default: 35) indicates the overall market bias.
- Changes color based on whether the regular candle close is above (green) or below (red) the Bias EMA, providing a clear trend direction signal.
3. Heikin Ashi Signals:
- Utilizes Heikin Ashi candles to detect strong bullish or bearish momentum.
- Generates buy/sell signals when a Heikin Ashi candle confirms a trend (bullish HA candle closing above Bias EMA for buy, bearish HA candle closing below for sell).
- Signal arrows are currently disabled but can be enabled via settings for visual confirmation.
4. Anchored VWAP and Standard VWAP:
- Plots both a standard VWAP and an Anchored VWAP (anchored to the US RTH session, 09:30–16:00 EST).
- Customizable line styles (solid, cross, or circles) and colors for both VWAPs, aiding in identifying dynamic support/resistance levels.
5. Background and Candle Coloring:
- Optional background coloring reflects the market bias (green for bullish, red for bearish) based on the regular close relative to the Bias EMA.
- Optional Heikin Ashi candle coloring to visually distinguish bullish and bearish market conditions.
6. Regular Candle Close:
- Option to plot the regular (non-Heikin Ashi) close price with customizable styles (line, circles, or cross) for reference.
7. Alerts:
