Time Intervals [signBTC]This script is designed to visualize 6 auxiliary time intervals on the chart near the time axis. Each of these intervals can be configured by the user with the following options:
Interval duration: Any duration can be set (for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.).
Interval color: Each time block can have its own color for better visual distinction.
Label: Users can add a custom label for each of the 6 intervals to indicate its purpose or highlight important features.
In the default configuration, the script automatically draws 6 equal four-hour intervals for each trading day, dividing each daily trading session into six parts—two for each of the three standard market sessions, or three per each of two major sessions (if considering only regular daytime and extended overnight trading).
This tool is particularly useful for traders who want to quickly navigate different time areas of the trading day, monitor individual parts of a session, or highlight specific time windows for strategy analysis. All script parameters (interval, color, and label for each block) are easily adjustable in the indicator's settings.

✅ Quant teams seeking stable signal output
📈 Market Structure Evolution Sequence:
**Same-Bear → Small Box Bull → Medium Box Bull → Large Box Bull → Same-Bull → Small Box Bear → Medium Box Bear → Large Box Bear → Same-Bear**
- “Same-Bear”/“Same-Bull”: full agreement among timeframes，strongest trend stages.
- “Small/Medium/Large Box”: represent increasing-level consolidations indicating trend emergence or turn.
🔍 By identifying the current structure phase, traders can determine if:
- The market is in the **early trend stage** (Same-Bull/Same-Bear)
- Or in a **trend shift period** (Bear→Bull or Bull→Bear)
- Or still **oscillating** (structures switching)
⚠️ **Practical Note:**
Although structure usually follows the sequence above, in strong or volatile moves it may:
- **Skip steps** (e.g., Same-Bear → Large Box Bull)
- **Switch rapidly** within a few candles
Traders should use volume, candle patterns, and higher-timeframe trends to confirm valid structure changes or avoid false breakouts.
📌 Execution Logic:
This indicator applies **multi-timeframe resonance** to capture **trend pullbacks**:
- Identifies trend direction via higher timeframes
- Uses pullback in shorter timeframe to signal entry
- Executes trend-following trades at pullback points

Candle Ghosts: MTF 3 Candle Viewer by Chaitu50cCandle Ghosts: MTF 3 Candle Viewer helps you see candles from other timeframes directly on your chart. It shows the last 3 candles from a selected timeframe as semi-transparent boxes, so you can compare different timeframes without switching charts.
You can choose to view candles from 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, or weekly timeframes. The candles are drawn with their full open, high, low, and close values, including the wicks, so you get a clear view of their actual shape and size.
The indicator lets you adjust the position of the candles using horizontal and vertical offset settings. You can also control the spacing between the candles for better visibility.
An optional EMA (Exponential Moving Average) from the selected timeframe is also included to help you understand the overall trend direction.
This tool is useful for:
Intraday traders who want to see higher timeframe candles for better decisions
Swing traders checking lower timeframe setups
Anyone doing top-down analysis using multiple timeframes on a single chart
This is a simple and visual way to study how candles from different timeframes behave together in one place.
Multi Ranges Volume Distribution [LuxAlgo]The Multi Ranges Volume Distribution tool allows traders to see the volume distribution by price for three different timeframes simultaneously. Each distribution can report the total amount of accumulated volume or the accumulated buy/sell volume separately.
Levels are displayed at the top and bottom of each timeframe's range, as well as the POC or level with the most volume.
🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays daily, weekly, and monthly volume distributions, highlighting the accumulated volume within each row.
Each distribution shows the volume at each price, as well as three lines: the top and bottom prices, and the price at which the most volume was traded.
The reported accumulated volume can be useful for highlighting which price areas are of the most interest to traders, with the specific timeframe specifying whether this interest is long-term or short-term.
🔹 Timeframes & Rows
Traders can adjust the timeframe and the number of rows for each volume distribution.
This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis of volume at the same price levels, or for obtaining detailed data within the same timeframe.
The chart above shows three volume distributions with the same monthly timeframe but a different number of rows; each is more detailed than the previous one.
🔹 Total vs Buy & Sell Volume
Traders can choose to display either the total volume or the buy and sell volumes.
As we can see on the above chart, the background of each row uses a gradient that is a function of the delta between the buy and sell volumes.
This is useful to determine which areas attract buyers and sellers.
🔶 SETTINGS
Volume Display: Select between total volume and buy and sell volume.
Distance between each box: Adjust the spacing of the volume distributions.
Period A: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period B: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period C: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Candle close on high time frameOVERVIEW
This indicator plots persistent closing levels of higher time frame candles (H1, H4, and Daily) on the active intraday chart in real time. Unlike similar tools, it offers granular control over line projection length, fully independent toggles per timeframe, and a built-in mechanism that automatically limits the total number of historical levels to avoid chart clutter and performance issues.
CONCEPTS
Key levels from higher time frames often act as areas where price reacts or consolidates. By projecting each candle's exact closing price forward as a horizontal reference, traders can quickly identify dynamic support and resistance zones relevant to the current price action. This indicator enables seamless multi-timeframe analysis without the need to manually switch chart intervals or re-draw lines.
FEATURES
Independent Time Frame Selection: Enable or disable H1, H4, and Daily levels individually to tailor the analysis.
Custom Extension Length: Each timeframe's closing level can be projected forward for a user-defined number of bars.
Performance Optimization: The script maintains an internal limit (default: 100) on the number of active lines. When this threshold is exceeded, the oldest lines are removed automatically.
Visual Differentiation: Colors for each timeframe are fully customizable, enabling immediate recognition of level origin.
Immediate Update: New levels appear as soon as a higher timeframe candle closes, ensuring real-time reference.
USAGE
From the indicator inputs, select which timeframes you want to track.
Adjust the extension lengths to fit your trading style and time horizon.
Customize the line colors for clarity and personal preference.
Use these projected levels as part of your confluence criteria for entries, exits, or stop placement.
Combine with trend indicators or price action tools to enhance your multi-timeframe strategy.
ORIGINALITY AND ADDED VALUE
While similar scripts exist that plot higher timeframe levels, this implementation differs in:
Its efficient automatic cleanup of old lines to preserve chart performance.
The independent extension and color settings per timeframe.
Immediate reaction to new candle closes without repainting.
Simplicity of use combined with precise customization.
This combination makes it a practical and flexible tool for traders who rely on clear HTF level visualization without manual drawing or the limitations of built-in TradingView tools.

DriftLine - Pivot Open Zones [SiDec]What is DriftLine?
DriftLine is your visual roadmap for navigating the markets — designed for both day traders and swing traders who want to understand where price truly matters.
It automatically plots the most meaningful price levels on your chart:
dOpen → today’s open
pdOpen → yesterday’s open
bpdOpen → two days ago
wOpen → this week’s open
mOpen → this month’s open
yOpen → this year’s open
These are not just lines — they are the milestones big traders, funds, and algos watch to measure bias, performance, and momentum across timeframes.
DriftLine also layers on:
Fib zones (50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) between today’s and yesterday’s opens — highlighting natural pullback or continuation areas.
Fade bands around monthly and yearly opens — showing where the market may be overextended, exhausted, or ripe for reversal.
Optional % distance labels — letting you instantly see how stretched or compressed price is relative to key opens.
How to Use DriftLine
1️⃣ Daily setups:
Trade with the daily bias (dOpen vs. pdOpen). Use the fib pocket as a pullback zone or continuation platform.
2️⃣ Weekly trends:
Watch wOpen breaks + retests — often the start of powerful multi-day moves.
3️⃣ Monthly & yearly pivots:
Treat mOpen and yOpen as heavyweight macro levels — they shape sentiment and direction.
4️⃣ Fade bands:
Spot reactions at the outer bands around mOpen and yOpen — these zones often mark where trends pause or reverse.
Why Are Daily Opens So Important?
Many traders overlook dOpen (today’s open), pdOpen (yesterday’s open) and bpdOpen (before previous daily open) — but they’re the heartbeat of intraday trading.
Here’s why they matter:
🔷 Above dOpen → bullish bias.
The market is paying more than it opened — intraday momentum leans long.
🔷 Below dOpen → bearish bias.
We’re under today’s open — cautious, risk-off, or short setups.
🔷 pdOpen/bpdOpen as magnet & target.
Even in strong trends, price often revisits yesterday’s open. It can act as support, resistance, or a key flip level.
🔷 The Fib pocket between dOpen and pdOpen.
The 50–78.6% zone is a dynamic battleground. Watch for price to bounce, reverse, or break through here.
In short:
dOpen and pdOpen are your intraday compass, showing you whether you’re trading with or against the day’s flow.
Why Are Monthly Opens So Powerful?
The monthly open (mOpen) is a macro anchor for institutional traders.
It answers:
✅ Are we green or red for the month?
✅ Are big funds defending long exposure, or trimming risk?
🔷 Above mOpen = bullish tone, momentum follows.
🔷 Below mOpen = caution, risk-off, defensive market.
You’ll often see sharp reactions at mOpen — even when lower timeframes look messy.
Aligning your intraday or swing trades with the monthly bias improves your edge dramatically.
Why Is the Yearly Open (yOpen) Critical?
The yearly open (yOpen) is the king of all opens — the most powerful macro line on the chart.
Big funds, asset managers, and long-term traders benchmark everything against yOpen:
🔷 Above yOpen → bullish year tone.
Funds are green on the year; dips are often bought aggressively.
🔷 Below yOpen → bearish year tone.
Caution dominates; rallies tend to be sold or fade.
🔷 Sharp reactions at yOpen.
Expect explosive moves or violent rejections when price approaches this level — it’s where macro players act.
And when price hits the fade bands around yOpen?
It's a prime territory for reversals or profit-taking.
How to Add DriftLine to Your Chart

🎨 Toggle % distance labels on/off for a clean or detailed view.
⚡ Pro Tip: Use DriftLine With Confluence! ⚡
DriftLine is not a buy/sell signal tool.
It’s your map — but you need your own compass.
Combine it with:
Fibonacci retracements & extensions
Elliott Wave patterns
Order flow or volume profile
Momentum or trend indicators
Other tools
When multiple tools align at a DriftLine level, that’s where the magic happens — and where the highest-probability trades live.
Key Takeaway
DriftLine doesn’t predict the future — it frames the battlefield.
It highlights where the real action is happening:
Where price flips, where traders fight, and where momentum builds.
Use it as your market map, combine it with your favourite strategies, and let it sharpen your decisions.
🌊 Read the currents. Trade the flow.
Stay sharp, stay patient and trade with clarity.
Happy trading!
Premium/Discount with Candle Open stats [Herman]Premium/Discount with Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders identify and analyze premium/discount zones on any timeframe while automatically tracking statistics on price behavior relative to these zones. It is especially valuable for traders looking to structure entries, manage targets, and quantify market reactions to prior session ranges.
What it draws on the chart
✅ Range High and Low Lines
For each selected timeframe period (15min, 30min 1H, 4H, Daily), the indicator plots the high and low of the completed previous period.
These lines are color-coded dynamically based on sweep detection:
If the high was swept (price broke the previous high), the high line is marked as Premium.
If the low was swept, the low line is marked as Discount.
If both were swept or neither, it uses the default color settings.
✅ Midline
An optional midline at the 50% level of the previous period’s high-low range.
Helpful for mean-reversion traders or anyone watching for retests of equilibrium.
✅ Quartile Lines (25%–75%)
Optional additional lines at 25% and 75% of the previous range, helping traders visualize inner range subdivisions.
✅ Open Price Line
Marks the open price of the previous period as a horizontal reference.
✅ Background Fills
The region between low and midline is shaded with the Discount color.
The region between high and midline is shaded with the Premium color.
These optional fills help highlight the premium and discount zones visually.
✅ Current Incomplete Period Lines (optional)
You can choose to display provisional high, low, midline, quartiles, and open for the current forming period.
These update in real-time until the period closes.
Sweep Detection Logic
The indicator automatically tracks if the current period price sweeps above the previous period’s high or below the low.
A "sweep" is simply defined as price exceeding the previous high/low while tracking is active.
The sweep status affects the colors of the premium/discount lines, helping traders see potential liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
What it counts and tracks (Statistics)
The script automatically compiles statistics over time:
✅ Total Touches
Counts how many times the price in a new period touches either the previous period’s high or low.
A “touch” is registered once per side per period.
✅ Midline Returns
Counts how often, after touching the previous high/low, price returns to the previous period’s midline.
Gives you a measure of mean-reversion success.
✅ Open Returns
Similarly, tracks how often price returns to the previous period’s open after touching the previous high/low.
✅ Return Percentages
Displays the percentage of touches that result in a return to midline or open.
These percentages are calculated live on your chart and updated after each period closes.
✅ Stats Table
A customizable on-chart table summarizing all of these stats in real-time.
Helps traders evaluate the effectiveness of range-based trading setups over time.
How it Works (Technical details)
On each new bar, the script checks if a new period (as defined by your timeframe selection) has begun.
When a new period starts, the previous period’s high, low, open, midline, quartiles are recorded and drawn on the chart.
The script then “watches” the current period:
Updates provisional high and low.
Detects sweeps of previous highs/lows.
Tracks if price returns to the previous period’s midline or open after those sweeps.
Increments statistical counters if conditions are met.
Background fills and lines update dynamically based on real-time data.
Intended Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for:
✅ Identifying premium/discount zones for swing or intraday trades.
✅ Spotting liquidity sweeps and possible manipulation zones.
✅ Structuring trades with logical, data-driven target zones (midline, open).
✅ Quantifying the probability of mean-reversion moves after liquidity events.
✅ Developing and backtesting range-based trading models with live stats.
Highly Customizable
Choose any timeframe for defining the premium/discount range.
Toggle visibility of midline, quartiles, open line, current period preview.
Full control over colors, line styles, line widths, and background shading.
Optional real-time statistical table with total counts and return percentages.
SMA Crossing Background Color (Multi-Timeframe)When day trading or scalping on lower timeframes, it’s often difficult to determine whether the broader market trend is moving upward or downward. To address this, I usually check higher timeframes. However, splitting the layout makes the charts too small and hard to read.
To solve this issue, I created an indicator that uses the background color to show whether the current price is above or below a moving average from a higher timeframe.
For example, if you set the SMA Length to 200 and the MT Timeframe to 5 minutes, the indicator will display a red background on the 1-minute chart when the price drops below the 200 SMA on the 5-minute chart. This helps you quickly recognize that the trend on the higher timeframe has turned bearish—without having to open a separate chart.
デイトレード、スキャルピングで短いタイムフレームでトレードをするときに、大きな動きは上に向いているのか下に向いているのかトレンドがわからなくなることがあります。
その時に上位足を確認するのですが、レイアウトをスプリットすると画面が小さくて見えにくくなるので、バックグラウンドの色で上位足の移動平均線では価格が上なのか下なのかを表示させるインジケーターを作りました。
例えば、SMA Length で200を選び、MT Timeframeで5分を選べば、1分足タイムフレームでトレードしていて雲行きが怪しくなってくるとBGが赤になり、5分足では200線以下に突入しているようだと把握することができます。

Order + Breaker Blocks MTF - Vees Hidden LiquidityThis indicator is a Hidden Liquidity Script, being a much more refined and precise version of "Order Blocks" also known as "Supply and Demand" zones.
This script is more refined and precise as this script is the only script that displays the exact body part of blocks on multiple timeframes, showing potentially powerful price reversal zones for taking a long or short.
This is a PRICE ACTION indicator, demonstrating price action that can result in potential good support/resistance levels for taking a long or short trade.
This indicator only displays the body part of order blocks, instead of including wicks that all other indicators do. That makes this script a much more refined version of all other scripts out there.
Not only that, this script can collate multiple timeframes into one indicator, again something other scripts cannot do.
This script is also unique compared to other Hidden Liquidity style scripts in that you have full control over each Order Block so you can see each individual block on a chart, whilst other charts combine them into a zone instead. This refined version gives you precise potential entries and much further refinement as well as more thorough backtesting capabilities.
This script also can highlight order blocks that pass THROUGH a Fair Value Gap. These are known as 'Breaker Blocks'. These powerful blocks can be places of interest as support or resistance for a long or short trade. Note: This script shows the body part of a block only and not the wick.
Breaker Blocks, where significant displacement has occurred in price past a block can be more powerful. This script does not highlight Fair Value Gaps themselves, only order blocks (supply and demand) and breaker blocks through displacement in price (through an FVG). FVGs on their own can be weaker without order blocks behind them hence they are not highlighted.
The BODY of the order block, and the 0.5 of the order block are key regions for considering a trade, treating that level as either resistance or support.
Important: PLEASE NOTE: This indicator will only show timeframes that are higher than or the same as the current chart timeframe.
For Example, only blocks 3 Days or higher will show on a 3D chart. It will not show 12h blocks on a 3D chart. You would need to go to a 12 hour chart with the 12h blocks showing to see all Blocks that are 12h or higher drawn.
SETTINGS:
There is options to change the colours of the boxes and to differentiate between Order Blocks and stronger Breaker Blocks if desired.
If this is NOT desired, make all color options the same color,.
Shown below is blue Order Blocks (Supply and Demand
Shown below there is Pink Breaker Blocks.
There is options to weaken the colour of blocks that have been tapped by a wick and thus partially used up, also called partially "mitigated".These blocks can be considered weaker support/resistance.
Once a block has had a wick or body close over it entirely, the block can be considered fully "mitigated" and will disappear from the indicator once that candle has closed. This block level can now be considered too weak. You can also choose to not show these partially mitigated blocks at all.
The charts above shows pale Violet blocks as partially mitigated or "tapped" blocks.
The blocks in HOT BRIGHT Violet are untapped and potentially stronger levels for a Long or Short trade. See below the 7h.
Additional SETTINGS:
Further options include, if selected: Counting the number of fair value gaps an order block may pass through. More FVGs an order block (now a breaker block) passes through can strengthen the support of that block level, making a reversal more likely.
There is an option of showing old mitigated order blocks and changing the color of these on the chart. This can aid in backtesting of levels.
Further Settings include:
- an option to remove very thin blocks that may not be strong points.
- an option to denote with a character such as a * blocks that have their EQ 0.5 region wicked - these can be considered weaker.
- an option to denote with an additional * or another character blocks that are barely tapped by a small percent so you know they are still considered quite strong.
- an option to show how many candles form the order block.
Additional Options include:
- an option to show blocks only within a specific price range or percent range of the current price.
- an option to only look X number of bars back.
There is Options regarding labelling, and Border widths on boxes.
It is ESSENTIAL to do your own research and backtesting!
It is recommended to combine these levels with other concepts for added confluence.
Other indicators are NOT included in this script. This is purely a refined order block script for the BODY of a block only.
You can combine Order Blocks and stronger versions known as Breaker Blocks in this script with other indicators or concepts to form a Full Trading Strategy.
Other potential concepts to combine, not shown in this script can include Smart Money Concepts, Market Structure, Fibonnaccis, SMAs, EMAs or any other concept to give added confluence to the support / resistance levels identified in this script that may indicate that the level is stronger.
This indicator is not a trading strategy on its own. It is best used in combination with other concepts to improve the success.
Backtesting this indicator is highly recommended and incorporated into a full trading system of your own design. This only identifies possible key regions based on Price Action Strategies.
This indicator simply makes the identification of these hot levels easier and simpler to find, especially across multiple timeframes.
A strong bright zone on the indicator can be a stronger level than a weak partial block that is in light colours.
Again -Please do your own research and backtesting.
These indicators make finding these levels much much simpler and easier when combined with a full trading strategy.
Any feedback is welcome.

Aqua MTF Trend Oscillator——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Aqua Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Trend Oscillator is a comprehensive momentum and trend analysis tool designed to synthesize
complex market dynamics into a single, intuitive oscillator. It moves beyond single-timeframe analysis by aggregating
trend information from up to five distinct, user-configurable sources—spanning different timeframes, symbols, and
moving average types.
--- CORE CONCEPT ---
The strength and direction of a trend are rarely uniform across all market perspectives. This indicator's core
principle is to quantify and weigh the trend's character from multiple angles simultaneously. By blending these
perspectives, it generates a composite score that reflects the overall "consensus" of trend momentum, providing
a more robust view than any single moving average could offer alone.
--- METHODOLOGY ---
The indicator's power lies in its sophisticated, multi-step normalization process for each analysis slot:
1. **MA Calculation:** A standard moving average (e.g., EMA, SMA) is calculated for the specified source, symbol, and timeframe.
2. **Volatility-Normalized Distance:** It first measures the deviation of price from its moving average in terms
of Average True Range (ATR) units. This volatility-normalization step is crucial for comparing trend strength
across different timeframes or instruments, as it measures distance in a context-aware manner.
3. **Magnitude Squashing:** This ATR-based distance is then passed through a hyperbolic tangent (`tanh`) squashing
function. This elegantly transforms the potentially unbounded measurement into a standardized score oscillating
between -1 (maximum bearish magnitude) and +1 (maximum bullish magnitude). This prevents extreme outliers in one
timeframe from disproportionately skewing the final result.
4. **Weighted Aggregation:** Each of these normalized (-1 to +1) scores is then combined based on a user-defined
weight. The weighted average of all enabled slots produces the final composite score.
5. **Final Scaling & Smoothing:** The composite score is scaled to oscillate between -100 and +100. An optional
final smoothing pass can be applied to this master line to reduce noise and clarify the overall trend.
All higher-timeframe calculations are performed correctly within their native context to ensure the indicator is
non-repainting and provides a stable, reliable output on the chart.
--- KEY FEATURES ---
• **Five Independent Analysis Slots:** Fully customize up to five sources, each with its own symbol, timeframe, MA type, period, and weight.
• **Advanced Normalization:** Utilizes ATR and the hyperbolic tangent function for robust, comparable trend magnitude scores.
• **Correct MTF Calculation:** Employs best practices for non-repainting data requests, ensuring historical and real-time results are consistent.
• **Weighted Composite Score:** Assign importance to different timeframes to tailor the oscillator to your specific analytical needs.
• **Optional Master Smoothing:** Apply a final MA to the composite score line for enhanced clarity and signal filtering.
• **Clear Visualization:** A simple, color-coded oscillator line shows the final trend score, while individual component trends can also be plotted.
--- HOW TO INTERPRET ---
• **Zero Line Cross:** A cross above 0 indicates that the weighted balance of trend components has shifted to bullish. A cross below 0 signals a shift to bearish.
• **Oscillator Magnitude:** Values approaching +100 suggest a strong, broad-based uptrend consensus. Values nearing -100 indicate a strong downtrend consensus.
• **Slope:** The slope of the oscillator line indicates the accelerating or decelerating nature of the aggregate trend momentum.
• **Divergence:** As with any oscillator, watch for divergences between price action and the oscillator, which can signal a potential exhaustion of the prevailing trend.

Aqua MTF Stochastic Oscillator——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Aqua Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Stochastic Oscillator is a comprehensive momentum analysis tool that synthesizes
stochastic data from up to five distinct, user-configurable sources and timeframes into a single, unified view.
--- CORE CONCEPT ---
Traditional oscillators provide insight into one specific timeframe. This indicator overcomes that limitation by
aggregating momentum readings from multiple timeframes. The core principle is to gauge the confluence of momentum
across different market cycles. A strong trend is often characterized by aligned momentum across short-term,
medium-term, and long-term perspectives. This tool visualizes that alignment in a clear, intuitive oscillator.
--- METHODOLOGY ---
For each of the five analysis slots, the script calculates the Stochastic %K line and its corresponding %D signal line.
To allow for direct comparison and weighting, each of these standard 0-100 oscillator values is then normalized
to a bipolar scale of -100 to +100, where 0 represents the neutral midline.
These normalized scores are then blended, according to user-defined weights, into two master composite lines:
1. A master "Score Line" representing the weighted average of the raw %K momentum values.
2. A master "Signal Line" representing the weighted average of the smoothed %D signal values.
--- KEY FEATURES ---
• Multi-Timeframe & Multi-Symbol Analysis: Configure up to five slots, each with its own symbol, timeframe, price source, and stochastic settings.
• Normalized Momentum Scale: All stochastic values are re-scaled to a -100 to +100 range, providing a standardized measure of momentum. Values above 0 indicate bullish momentum, while values below 0 indicate bearish momentum.
• Weighted Composite Score: User-defined weights allow for prioritizing certain timeframes, creating a custom-tailored final momentum reading.
• Dynamic Color-Coding: The color of the master Score Line and each individual timeframe's line instantly changes based on its position relative to its signal line (%K vs. %D). This provides immediate visual feedback on momentum acceleration (bullish) or deceleration (bearish).
--- HOW TO INTERPRET ---
• Crossovers: The interaction between the master Score Line and the Signal Line can be used to identify potential shifts in momentum, similar to a traditional MACD.
• Line Color: The color of the master Score Line itself serves as a primary signal. A bullish color indicates that overall raw momentum is leading smoothed momentum, and vice-versa.
• Overbought/Oversold Levels: Extreme readings near the +100 or -100 levels suggest that the aggregated momentum may be overextended and due for a reversion.
• Zero Line Crosses: When the oscillator crosses above the zero line, it signals that the balance of momentum has shifted to positive territory. A cross below zero signals a shift to negative territory.
• Divergence: Look for divergences where price makes a new high or low, but the oscillator fails to confirm it. This can often signal a pending reversal.

Multi-Timeframe 20 EMA Horizontal LinesOverview
This Multi-Timeframe 20 EMA indicator provides intelligent trend analysis by displaying your current timeframe EMA alongside relevant higher timeframe EMA levels as horizontal support/resistance lines. On lower timeframes, you see all higher EMA levels for comprehensive multi-timeframe confluence, while on higher timeframes, it filters out lower timeframe noise to maintain focus on macro trends. This allows traders to align short-term entries with long-term market structure, identifying high-probability setups where multiple timeframe EMAs converge while using the current timeframe EMA for precise timing.
Feature
Multi-Timeframe Horizontal EMA Lines
The indicator fetches and displays 20 EMAs from five higher timeframes:
Daily (D): Daily 20 EMA
Weekly (W): Weekly 20 EMA
Monthly (M): Monthly 20 EMA
Quarterly (Q): 3-Month 20 EMA
Half-Yearly (HY): 6-Month 20 EMA
Intelligent Timeframe Filtering
Smart Display Logic: Only shows EMAs from timeframes higher than your current chart timeframe
Prevents Redundancy: Automatically filters out lower timeframe EMAs to avoid clutter
Example: On a 4-hour chart, you'll see Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Half-Yearly EMAs, but on a Weekly chart, you'll only see Weekly and higher timeframes
Half-Yearly (HY): 6-Month 20 EMA
Shows only current timeframe EMA with half-yearly horizontal line, filtering out all lower timeframes.
Quarterly (Q): 3-Month 20 EMA
Displays current timeframe EMA with quarterly and higher horizontal lines, hiding monthly, weekly, and daily EMAs.
Monthly (M): Monthly 20 EMA
Shows current timeframe EMA with monthly and higher horizontal EMAs, excluding weekly and daily timeframes.
Weekly (W): Weekly 20 EMA
Displays current timeframe EMA with weekly and higher horizontal EMA lines, filtering out daily timeframe.
Daily (D):
Shows current timeframe EMA with all higher timeframe horizontal EMAs (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly).
Note: Make sure to enable Price-Line in Style Settings after Importing Script.
Gann Swing PointsIndicator Logic
This is a GANN-style swing indicator that classifies bars based on their high/low structure relative to the previous bar.
I strongly encourage you to replay bars on Tradingview using this indicator to get a sense of how it creates pivot (or swing) points
Bar Classification:
Up-Bar (direction: 'up'): Higher High and Higher Low (HH/HL)
Down-Bar (direction: 'down'): Lower High and Lower Low (LH/LL)
Outside-Bar (generates 2 directions):
Green: 'down' then 'up'
Red: 'up' then 'down'
Inside-Bar: No direction generated (HL/LH)
Swing Line Logic
The swing line continues in the current direction until n opposite directions are detected.
n is the "n-direction" parameter (commonly set to 2, so 2 consecutive opposite direction is needed to turn the swing)
When n opposing directions occur, the swing turns, creating a pivot point
Inside bar is ignored, so e.g up-bar -> inside-bar -> up-bar generates "up", "up" direction
A top pivot is formed when the swing turns down
A bottom pivot is formed when it turns up
Note: This swing logic is inherently lagging — it only confirms tops/bottoms after the fact
This swing structure gives the system a clear and noise-resistant way to identify pivot points (swing-points)
HTF High/Low Targets This script plots the previous Highs and Lows of the 1HR, 4HR, Daily, and Weekly timeframes.
Each level is color-coded, extends across the chart, and includes labels to help you spot key areas of past support and resistance.
Use this tool to:
- Confirm intraday price reactions at HTF zones
- Identify high-probability reversal or breakout areas
- Get notified with built-in alerts when price crosses a level
You can toggle each timeframe level on/off in the settings panel.
Great for:
- Day traders and scalpers who trade off 1-minute or 5-minute charts
-Swing traders looking for confluence with HTF zones
- Anyone using a multi-timeframe analysis approach

Multi-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle ConfirmationMulti-Timeframe Continuity Custom Candle Confirmation
Overview
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify alignment between their current chart’s candlestick direction and higher timeframes of their choice. By coloring bars on the current chart (e.g., 1-minute) based on the directional alignment with selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10-minute, daily), this indicator provides a visual cue for confirming trends across multiple timeframes—a concept known as Timeframe Continuity. This approach is particularly useful for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers looking to ensure their trades align with broader market trends, reducing the risk of trading against the prevailing momentum.
Originality and Usefulness
This indicator is an original creation, built from scratch to address a common challenge in trading: ensuring that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. Unlike many trend-following indicators that rely on moving averages, oscillators, or other lagging metrics, this script directly compares the bullish or bearish direction of candlesticks across timeframes. It introduces the following unique features:
Customizable Timeframes: Users can select from a range of higher timeframes (5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1d, 1w, 1M) to check for alignment, making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Neutral Candle Handling: The script accounts for neutral candles (where close == open) on the current timeframe by allowing them to inherit the direction of the higher timeframe, ensuring continuity in trend visualization.
Table: A table displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping identify direction in the event you don't want to color bars.
Toggles for Flexibility: Options to disable bar coloring and the debug table allow users to customize the indicator’s visual output for cleaner charts or focused analysis.
This indicator is not a mashup of existing scripts but a purpose-built tool to visualize timeframe alignment directly through candlestick direction, offering traders a straightforward way to confirm trend consistency.
What It Does
The Timeframe Continuity Indicator colors bars on your chart when the direction of the current timeframe’s candlestick (bullish, bearish, or neutral) aligns with the direction of the selected higher timeframes:
Lime: The current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes (e.g., 10m) are bullish.
Pink: The current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish.
Default Color: If the directions don’t align (e.g., 1m bar is bearish but 10m is bullish), the bar remains the default chart color.
The indicator also includes a debug table (toggleable) that shows the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, helping traders diagnose alignment issues.
How It Works
The script uses the following methodology:
1. Direction Calculation: For each timeframe (current and selected higher timeframes), the script determines the candlestick’s direction:
Bullish (1): close > open / Bearish (-1): close < open / Neutral (0): close == open
Higher timeframe directions are fetched using Pine Script’s request.security function, ensuring accurate data retrieval.
2. Alignment Check: The script checks if all selected higher timeframes are uniformly bullish (full_bullish) or bearish (full_bearish).
o A higher timeframe must have a clear direction (bullish or bearish) to trigger coloring. If any selected timeframe is neutral, alignment fails, and no coloring occurs.
3. Coloring Logic: The current bar is colored only if its direction aligns with the higher timeframes:
Lime if the higher timeframes are bullish and the current bar is bullish or neutral.
Maroon if the higher timeframes are bearish and the current bar is bearish or neutral.
If the current bar’s direction opposes the higher timeframe (e.g., 1m bearish, 10m bullish), the bar remains uncolored.
Users can disable bar coloring entirely via the settings, leaving bars in their default chart color.
4. Direction Table:
A table in the top-right corner (toggleable) displays the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe, using color-coded labels (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
This feature helps traders understand why a bar is or isn’t colored, making the indicator accessible to users unfamiliar with Pine Script.
How to Use
1. Add the Indicator: Add the "Timeframe Continuity Indicator" to your chart in TradingView (e.g., a 1m chart of SPY).
2. Configure Settings:
Timeframe Selection: Check the boxes for the higher timeframes you want to compare against (default: 10m). Options include 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 1D, 1W, and 1M. Select multiple timeframes if you want to ensure alignment across all of them (e.g., 10m and 1d).
Enable Bar Coloring: Default: true (bars are colored lime or maroon when aligned). Set to false to disable coloring and keep the default chart colors.
Show Table: Default: true (table is displayed in the top-right corner). Set to false to hide the table for a cleaner chart.
3. Interpret the Output:
Colored Bars: Lime bars indicate the current bar (e.g., 1m) is bullish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bullish. Maroon bars indicate the current bar is bearish or neutral, and all selected higher timeframes are bearish. Uncolored bars (default chart color) indicate a mismatch (e.g., 1m bar is bearish while 10m is bullish) or no coloring if disabled.
Direction Table: Check the table to see the direction of each selected timeframe and the current timeframe.
4. Example Use Case:
On a 1m chart of SPY, select the 10m timeframe.
If the 10m timeframe is bearish, 1m bars that are bearish or neutral will color maroon, confirming you’re trading with the higher timeframe’s trend.
If a 1m bar is bullish while the 10m is bearish, it remains uncolored, signaling a potential misalignment to avoid trading.
Underlying Concepts
The indicator is based on the concept of Timeframe Continuity, a strategy used by traders to ensure that price action on a lower timeframe aligns with the trend on higher timeframes. This reduces the risk of entering trades against the broader market direction. The script directly compares candlestick directions (bullish, bearish, or neutral) rather than relying on lagging indicators like moving averages or RSI, providing a real-time, price-action-based confirmation of trend alignment. The handling of neutral candles ensures that minor indecision on the lower timeframe doesn’t interrupt the visualization of the higher timeframe’s trend.
Why This Indicator?
Simplicity: Directly compares candlestick directions, avoiding complex calculations or lagging indicators.
Flexibility: Customizable timeframes and toggles cater to various trading strategies.
Transparency: The debug table makes the indicator’s logic accessible to all users, not just those who can read Pine Script.
Practicality: Helps traders confirm trend alignment, a key factor in successful trading across timeframes.
