ORB AI [PickMyTrade]ORB AI asks a question most opening-range tools skip: does this
breakout resemble the chart's own past breakouts that worked, or the ones that didn't?
Instead of firing on a single range-break condition, every qualified breakout is scored
across seven independent structural factors, then cross-checked against an on-chart
K-nearest-neighbour library built exclusively from this symbol's own resolved breakout
outcomes. Both numbers are shown — the rule score and the KNN vote — without either one
silently deciding the trade for you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔷 WHAT IT MEASURES
🔸 Opening Range
The range locks from a configurable session anchor — Exchange Session (the symbol's own
listed timezone), New York 09:30, New York 08:30 (data), London 08:00, Tokyo 09:00, or a
Custom session/timezone pair — over a configurable window (1–120 minutes). If the chart
timeframe is coarser than the chosen window, the range automatically expands to one full
bar and the dashboard notes the effective duration rather than silently misrepresenting
it.
🔸 Rule Confidence (7-factor score)
Every qualified breakout candidate is scored 0–100 across Trend, Momentum, Volume,
Volatility, Structure, Breakout Quality and Liquidity. Trend itself is a blend (35% EMA
alignment, 25% ADX, 25% higher-timeframe read, 15% slope) — the dashboard breaks out all
seven components individually so the score is never a black box.
🔸 Flow Marks — BO / RT / FBO / Sweep
BO tags the confirmed breakout bar. RT tags a retest of the broken range edge that holds
(with a running count). FBO tags a breakout that closed back inside the range — a false
breakout, not a win or loss judgement. Sweep tags a wick that pierced the range edge and
closed back inside — liquidity taken without a directional close.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔷 THE KNN ENGINE (LORENTZIAN DISTANCE)
🔸 How the library is built
Every rule-qualified breakout gets a 6-feature fingerprint (trend, momentum, volume,
volatility, structure, breakout quality). Its outcome is then resolved forward, stop
checked first: 1R target reached before the stop = win, stop first = loss, neither
within the configurable outcome window (15–600 minutes) = discarded as undecided —
drifts are never counted as losses, so the base rate reflects only decisive breakouts.
Every qualified candidate is recorded regardless of outcome, so the library grows
without selection bias.
🔸 How a new candidate is voted
A new candidate is compared to the stored library (up to 300 records) by Lorentzian
distance. The K nearest historical analogues (3–15, default 5) vote, and the vote share
is shown on the signal label and dashboard.
🔸 Advisory vs. Gate
Advisory mode (default) displays the vote as context; it never blocks a signal, so the
set of signalling bars stays fully deterministic regardless of library state. Gate mode
(opt-in) also requires the vote to clear a minimum share before a signal fires — this
trades determinism for selectivity and is only meaningful once the library has grown
past a configurable minimum size.
🔸 Read honestly
With a 6-feature fingerprint, the nearest neighbours of a few-hundred-record library
span roughly half of each feature's range — the vote is a coarse regional tendency, not
a precise analogue match. Loading a different amount of chart history can change the
displayed vote (Advisory) or which candidates pass (Gate); this is inherent to on-chart
instance-based learning and is disclosed rather than hidden. The indicator requires a
symbol with volume data — volume-less feeds (some cash indices / spot FX) cannot render
the KNN engine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔷 SIGNALS AND DISPLAY
🔸 Dashboard
A compact table shows Session, Regime, ML Engine status (library size / warm-up state),
locked Range, Bias, the 7-factor Rule Confidence bar, Risk-per-Unit, the active Trade
Plan, and a Flow Marks legend. An optional Full mode expands all seven score components.
🔸 Trade Plan overlay
On a qualified signal the indicator draws an entry, stop, and take-profit levels using
one of three configurable methods: a fixed R ladder, an opening-range-width measured-move
projection, or an ATR-scaled EMA-dynamic trail. This is a reference overlay describing
one rules-based way to structure the trade *if* you choose to take it — it is not a
recommendation, and the levels are not a performance claim.
🔸 Non-repainting
Signals evaluate on confirmed closes only. Locked range levels never change once set.
Higher-timeframe reads use ` ` plus `lookahead_off`. The KNN library is built strictly
from already-resolved past outcomes — no future data is read at any point.
🔸 Alerts
19 `alertcondition()` calls cover long/short entries, false breakouts (combined and
per-direction), confidence-threshold crosses, range completion, trend-context changes,
take-profit and stop touches (combined and per-level), reversals, session-end exits,
approaching-breakout warnings, retests, and sweeps above/below the range. Recommended
alert setting: *Once Per Bar Close*.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔷 INPUTS
🔸 Opening Range — Session anchor, custom session/timezone, range length (minutes).
🔸 Signal Engine — Minimum Rule Confidence threshold, TP method (R Ladder / OR Width
Projection / Dynamic EMA), R-ladder multiples, wide-range-OR filter.
🔸 KNN · ML Engine — Mode (Advisory / Gate / Off), K neighbours, history length,
minimum ML vote (Gate only), outcome window (minutes), Gate minimum library size.
🔸 Filters — Signal Blackout window (session-anchor timezone), max signals per
session, news filter.
🔸 Visual — Bull/bear colours, dashboard position and detail level, Zen mode (hides
text labels, keeps shapes/zones only).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔷 REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
Requires a symbol with volume data — the KNN engine cannot render on volume-less feeds
(some cash indices, spot FX). The KNN vote is a coarse regional tendency drawn from a
finite on-chart library, not a precise analogue match or a probability estimate; it is
advisory by default for that reason. Loading a different amount of chart history changes
the displayed vote in Advisory mode, and can change which candidates pass in Gate mode —
this is inherent to on-chart instance-based learning and is disclosed rather than hidden.
This is a decision-support toolkit: it does not place trades, and no element of the
dashboard, score, or trade-plan overlay is a claim about future performance. Always
apply independent risk management.

Macro MagicianMacro Magician — Hourly Macros (:50 → :10)
Short description
Marks the :50 → :10 hourly macro windows, shades the opening minute of each, and can carry a chosen macro's opening range across the rest of the session.
Full description
What it does
Macro Magician draws the twenty-minute windows that run from :50 of one hour to :10 of the next — the periods intraday traders commonly call hourly macros. Each window gets a shaded box tracking its high and low, and the opening candle of the window is shaded separately in a darker tone, so you can see where price opened the window from relative to where it finished.
Beyond marking the windows, two features do the work that usually gets done by hand:
Carried-forward opening ranges. Any macro can have its opening-candle high and low projected to the right across the rest of the session, turning that one minute into a horizontal reference band. The macro's time is reprinted along the band at a cadence you set, so it stays identifiable hours later without hovering over it.
A standalone highlight candle. One candle per session — 09:30 by default, matching the equity cash open — can be recolored, given a vertical backdrop and a marker, and boxed with its own carried-forward band. This runs independently of the macro slots, so it works whether or not that minute falls inside a macro window.
Nothing here produces signals or predicts direction. It is a time-and-level marking tool that puts the windows and their opening ranges on the chart automatically.
Settings
General
Timezone — all times are interpreted in this zone, so boxes land correctly regardless of your chart's display timezone. Defaults to New York; "Exchange" follows the symbol.
Timeframe limit — hides the drawings above a chosen timeframe. Default 15 minutes.
Style
Fill, opening-candle fill, and border transparency, plus border width.
Opening-candle level — projects the window's opening candle's open, close, or midpoint as a dotted line across the window.
Label visibility and size.
Chart theme — Auto, Light, or Dark. Auto reads the chart's background brightness and flips the extended-macro label text between the two colors you choose, so the script is legible on either without touching anything else.
Optional alert when a macro opens.
Macro windows Eight independent slots, each with an on/off toggle, a session, a color, and an extend checkbox. Defaults cover 06:50 through 14:10 New York time. The session field accepts day filters, so 0850-0910:23456 restricts a window to Tuesday through Saturday for futures. One "extend through" session sets where all carried-forward bands stop, 16:00 by default.
Extended opening range Controls the band label cadence — either at a fixed minute interval from the macro open, or once an hour at a clock minute you choose so the prints stay clear of the other macro windows — along with the text size, which applies to both the label above the box and the prints along the band.
Highlight candle Hour and minute for the candle, its color, an optional full-height vertical backdrop with its own transparency, an optional triangle marker above or below the bar, and an optional carried-forward box with independent fill, border, and width settings. The box can start on the candle or just after it, so its fill doesn't wash out the candle's own color.
How to read it
The lighter box shows what the window did — its full high and low. The darker box shows the range it opened from. When a window closes well outside its opening range, the two together show the displacement at a glance. A carried-forward band lets later sessions be read against an earlier opening range without redrawing it each day.
Notes and limitations
Intraday charts only. On a 1-minute chart the darker box is exactly the :50 candle; on a 5-minute chart it is the first five minutes of the window, which is wider by design.
The highlight candle is drawn with barcolor plus a candle overlay, so it survives chart settings that override bar colors. On timeframes above one minute it paints whichever bar carries that opening time.
TradingView caps drawings at 500 boxes, lines, and labels, so the oldest sessions eventually drop off the left of the chart. Running fewer macro slots keeps more history visible.
Windows in progress update until they close, as you would expect. Nothing recalculates on historical bars.
This is a charting aid, not a strategy, and not financial advice. Test how these windows behave on your own instrument and timeframe before relying on them. Indicator
Opening Range Formation Trace - ORB & Initial BalanceOpening Range Formation Trace is an intraday research indicator that records a configurable opening range, preserves the chronology of its formation, and tracks neutral post-range evidence after the range is complete.
It is intended for users who want to study more than the final opening-range high and low. The script focuses on how the range was built, when its extremes formed, how efficiently price traveled during the opening window, and what occurred after the range locked.
The default opening-range duration is 15 minutes. Setting Range duration to 60 minutes provides an Initial Balance-style workflow.
Session configuration
The script includes reference presets for:
- US equities open
- Tokyo cash open
- London cash open
- CME equity regular trading hours
- Exchange-time opening
- Custom IANA timezone and opening time
The opening time, duration, active weekdays, projection period, and sampling resolution are configurable.
Session presets are editable reference anchors. They are not an exchange holiday or early-close calendar. Users should confirm that the selected opening time and chart session match the instrument being studied.
What makes this implementation distinct
Cumulative formation trace
A conventional opening-range display normally shows only the completed high and low. This script also preserves cumulative high-low envelopes at configurable elapsed-time checkpoints during the opening window.
Each trace slice shows the range that had been reached by that point in time. The slices are cumulative and are not treated as independent mini-ranges.
The trace colors distinguish whether a checkpoint added:
- Upper-side expansion
- Lower-side expansion
- Expansion on both sides
- No new final extreme
This makes it possible to inspect whether the opening range developed through an early directional move, alternating expansion, late acceleration, or rotation.
Independent research checkpoints
The visual trace can use between two and eight time slices. Formation classification does not depend on the selected number of visual slices.
Classification uses separate fixed research checkpoints:
- The halfway point of the opening-range duration
- A user-configurable early checkpoint
This separation allows users to change visual detail without unintentionally changing the definition of the formation classification.
Opening-range measurements
The script calculates the following transparent measurements:
Opening-range width
The completed high-low distance. It is available in native price units and as a percentage of the sampled opening price.
Width percentile
The current width is compared with prior complete opening ranges calculated from the same current configuration.
At least five prior complete observations are required before a percentile is displayed. Equal values receive a midpoint rank. The current observation is ranked before it is added to the comparison history.
The percentile is a relative description of recent opening-range width. It is not a probability of a breakout, target, or profitable result.
Sampled path efficiency
Path efficiency compares the absolute distance from the opening sample to the final sampled close with the cumulative sampled closing-price path traveled during the opening window.
A higher value indicates a more direct sampled path. A lower value indicates more back-and-forth movement.
Path efficiency is descriptive. It is not a confidence score or prediction.
Close location
Close location expresses where the final sampled close sits inside the completed range.
A value near zero is close to the range low. A value near one is close to the range high.
Expansion skew
Expansion skew compares the distance expanded above the opening price with the distance expanded below it.
Positive values indicate more upper-side expansion. Negative values indicate more lower-side expansion. Values near zero indicate more balanced expansion.
Late expansion share
Late expansion share measures how much of the final opening-range width was added after the halfway checkpoint.
This value describes when the range expanded. It does not forecast the next move.
Early checkpoint width share
This measures how much of the final width had already formed at the independent early checkpoint.
Final extreme order
The script records whether the final high or final low was first established earlier in the sampled sequence. When both final extremes are first observed in the same sampled interval, the order is reported as simultaneous rather than inventing a more precise sequence.
Formation classifications
Completed and non-partial opening ranges are assigned to one of eight descriptive formation states:
- Upper-led drive
- Lower-led drive
- Late upper expansion
- Late lower expansion
- Late two-sided expansion
- Rotational formation
- Two-sided formation
- Mixed formation
The classifications are derived from path efficiency, close location, expansion skew, late expansion share, and early checkpoint width share.
All classification thresholds are exposed as user inputs. The classifications are descriptive research labels and are not buy or sell signals.
Research equilibrium
The script can display one of four opening-range equilibrium references:
- Volume-weighted sampled HLC3
- Arithmetic mean of sampled HLC3
- Opening-range midpoint
- Sampled opening price
When usable volume is unavailable, the volume-weighted method falls back to the arithmetic mean of sampled HLC3.
Post-range evidence
After a complete opening range locks, the script can track a neutral sequence of observable events.
Accepted departure
The first accepted departure can occur above or below the completed range.
Users can define acceptance using:
- Sample close
- Sample wick
- A buffer measured as a fraction of the completed range
- A required number of consecutive samples
The word accepted refers only to this configurable operational definition. It does not claim institutional participation or predict continuation.
Re-entry
After the first accepted departure, the script records whether price returns through the departed range boundary.
Opposite-edge traverse
After re-entry, the script records whether a later sample reaches the opposite opening-range edge.
Re-entry and opposite-edge traversal are not credited from the same sampled interval. The opposite edge is evaluated only from a later sample so the script does not invent an intrabar order that the available data cannot prove.
Additional post-range observations include:
- Upper-edge test count
- Lower-edge test count
- Closing-sample dwell inside, above, and below the range
- Maximum upper reach measured in completed-range units
- Maximum lower reach measured in completed-range units
Visual research panel
The fixed research panel summarizes the rightmost relevant opening range in the current chart view.
It can display:
- Formation classification
- Width percentile
- Path efficiency
- Late expansion share
- Current post-range state
- Accepted-departure, re-entry, and traverse progression
- Upper and lower edge-test counts
- Maximum reach above and below the range
- Sampling or fallback resolution
The panel is a research summary. Its colors and state labels do not constitute trade instructions.
Realtime and historical behavior
The script is designed for standard intraday candlestick charts.
It intentionally disables processing on synthetic chart types and daily-or-higher charts because their price construction or session assumptions can make opening-range chronology ambiguous.
Lower-timeframe sampling can be selected from 1, 3, 5, or 15 minutes. When the selected sampling timeframe is higher than the chart timeframe, the chart timeframe is used instead.
During a live opening window, the developing high, low, trace, equilibrium, and panel can update as new completed samples become available. Developing values should therefore be treated as provisional until the configured range has ended.
The script does not request future data and does not use lookahead.
Historical lower-timeframe bars contain finalized OHLC values. They do not reproduce every update that occurred while those bars were live.
Visible chart adaptive mode
In Visible chart adaptive mode, the script uses the current chart viewport to prioritize opening-range sessions that intersect the displayed period. Scrolling or zooming causes the visual layer to be recalculated for the newly visible history.
Most recent sessions mode is also available for users who prefer a rolling, live-first display.
Confirmed chart-bar fallback
The amount of available lower-timeframe history depends on the symbol, chart history, and TradingView plan.
When lower-timeframe arrays are unavailable on older confirmed bars, the optional fallback can continue the study with confirmed chart-timeframe bars if the chart timeframe can fit inside the configured opening-range duration.
Fallback sessions are identified as coarse-resolution observations in the research panel. They should not be interpreted as having the same chronological precision as lower-timeframe sessions.
If the first available sample begins after the configured session open, the session is marked as partial. Formation classification, width-history inclusion, and post-range evidence are intentionally disabled for that incomplete session.
Alerts and Data Window outputs
Neutral alert conditions are available for:
- Opening range locked
- Accepted departure above
- Accepted departure below
- Range re-entry
- Opposite-edge traverse
The alert conditions describe observable events and are exposed on confirmed chart bars.
Research measurements are also available in the Data Window without adding values to the chart status line.
Suggested workflow
1. Use a standard intraday candlestick chart.
2. Select the session preset or custom timezone and opening time that match the intended research window.
3. Set the opening-range duration. Use 60 minutes for an Initial Balance-style study.
4. Select the finest practical sampling resolution available for the chart and instrument.
5. Review the formation trace before interpreting the completed classification.
6. Use the panel to compare width, path efficiency, late expansion, and the post-range event sequence.
7. Treat all readings as market-context observations and combine them with independent analysis and risk controls.
Limitations
The script does not maintain an official exchange calendar and does not automatically adjust for holidays or early closes.
Results depend on the selected session, duration, sampling timeframe, chart session, and classification thresholds.
Historical lower-timeframe availability varies by symbol and TradingView plan.
Coarse chart-bar fallback has lower chronological resolution than lower-timeframe sampling.
Volume-weighted equilibrium depends on the quality and meaning of the volume data supplied for the instrument.
Width percentile describes the script's available comparison sample and is not a probability of future behavior.
Formation classifications and post-range evidence describe observed price behavior. They do not guarantee continuation, reversal, support, resistance, or profitability.
The script does not place orders, calculate position size, generate targets or stops, produce a strategy backtest, or provide financial advice.

Session Kill Zone Volume Map [StrixEDGE]Session Kill Zone Volume Map
A session-aware overlay that maps institutional kill zones — London, New York, and Asia — directly onto your chart with volume-weighted session boxes, Opening Range Breakout levels, and a unified analytics dashboard. Built to give intraday traders immediate visual context on where volume clusters, how sessions develop relative to their historical norms, and when a confirmed breakout is underway.
🔍 What This Indicator Does
The indicator automatically detects the three major forex/futures sessions based on UTC time and draws color-coded session boxes whose fill intensity scales dynamically with real-time volume. High-volume sessions appear visually heavier; low-volume sessions fade into the background. This gives you an instant read on whether today's session is running hotter or cooler than average — without checking a single number.
On top of each session, it tracks the Opening Range (first 15, 30, or 60 minutes) and plots ORB-High and ORB-Low levels as dashed reference lines extending through the session. When price breaks an ORB level with volume confirmation, a directional marker (▲ or ▼) prints on the chart and an alert fires.
▲
▼
A single unified dashboard panel consolidates everything: live session volume, percentage distribution with a visual bar, historical average range, ORB win rate, and session sample count — all in one clean table.
⚡ Key Features
Session Auto-Detection
London (08:00–17:00 UTC)
New York (13:00–22:00 UTC)
Asia (00:00–09:00 UTC)
are detected automatically. All session start and end times are fully customizable down to the minute, so you can adjust for DST shifts or align to your broker's server time.
Volume-Weighted Session Boxes
Each session box fills with the session's assigned color at a transparency that adjusts in real time based on cumulative volume relative to the historical session average. A session running at 2× its normal volume will render noticeably more vivid than one at 0.5×. The base transparency is user-controlled.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Levels
The indicator captures the high and low of the first N minutes of each session (configurable: 15 / 30 / 60 min) and draws them as horizontal reference lines. These extend through the rest of the session, serving as the breakout thresholds traders watch for directional continuation.
Volume-Confirmed Breakout Signals
When price closes beyond an ORB level and the breakout bar's volume exceeds the 20-period SMA × a user-defined multiplier (default 1.5×), a directional triangle prints on the chart. No volume confirmation = no signal. This filters out low-conviction breaks.
Unified Session Dashboard
A single professional table displays all session data at a glance:
- Live session volume (absolute + percentage share)
- Volume distribution bar per session
- Historical average session range over your chosen lookback
- ORB win rate (percentage of confirmed breakouts that held direction through session close)
- Session sample count
Table position, text size, and visibility are all input-controlled.
Session High/Low Break Alerts
Separate alert conditions fire when price crosses the previous session's high or low with volume confirmation, giving you an additional layer of inter-session breakout detection.
9 Alert Conditions
Individual bull/bear ORB break alerts per session, a unified "any ORB break" alert, and session high/low break alerts — all configurable in TradingView's alert manager.
⚙️ Inputs & Settings
| Group | Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Session Times | Start/End Hour & Minute | Full control over each session's UTC boundaries |
| ORB Settings | Period (15/30/60 min) | Opening range duration |
| ORB Settings | Line Style / Width | Visual style of ORB levels |
| Display | Show/Hide Sessions | Toggle individual session boxes |
| Display | Base Box Transparency | Controls how transparent session boxes are at normal volume |
| Display | Dashboard Position | Table corner placement |

| Display | Stats Lookback | Number of past sessions for avg range and ORB win rate |
| Alerts | Volume Confirm Multiplier | How far above SMA(20) breakout volume must be |
| Colors | Session & Breakout Colors | Full color customization per session and direction |
📖 How To Use
Session Context
Load on a 5m–1H chart. The session boxes immediately frame where London, New York, and Asia operated. The fill intensity tells you which session carried the most conviction — use that to weight your analysis toward the active kill zone.
ORB Strategy
After the opening range completes, the ORB-H and ORB-L lines become your breakout thresholds. A volume-confirmed break (▲/▼ marker) signals directional intent. Traders often look for price to retest the broken ORB level as support/resistance before committing to a continuation trade.
▲
▼
Dashboard Read
Check the Vol % column to see which session is dominating flow. The ORB WR column tells you how reliable ORB breakouts have been historically for each session on the current instrument — if London shows 85% and Asia shows 50%, that's actionable edge for session selection.
Alerts
Set up any of the 9 alert conditions to get notified without watching the chart. Combine the unified "Any ORB Break" alert with a mobile notification for hands-free monitoring.
📋 Notes
- Designed for intraday timeframes (15m and below recommended for ORB accuracy). A warning displays if loaded on Daily or higher.
- During the London/NY overlap window (13:00–17:00 UTC by default), volume is attributed to both sessions. The percentage distribution shows relative contribution, not mutually exclusive slices.
- ORB win rate is a binary metric: did price close beyond the broken ORB level at session end? It does not measure how far price traveled.
- The volume gradient uses transparency modulation, not a multi-stop color gradient, due to Pine Script rendering constraints.
- Works on any instrument with volume data (forex via tick volume, futures, crypto, equities). Indicator
DTC Initial Balance ProWHAT THIS DOES
Every trading session has an "Initial Balance" — the first chunk of time
after the open (default: the first hour, 09:30-10:30 New York) where the
market sets its early high and low. Traders have long believed that
WHICH ONE FORMS FIRST — the high or the low — hints at which way the
rest of the day tends to go.
The problem: on a normal chart, you can't actually tell which came
first just by looking at a candle. A single 15-minute or 1-hour candle
can have both a new high AND a new low in it, and the candle's color
tells you nothing about the order they happened in.
This indicator solves that by secretly rebuilding the entire session
minute-by-minute in the background (even if your chart is on 15m, 1H,
or Daily), so it can tell you EXACTLY which one happened first — based
on real timestamps, never a guess.
HOW TO READ IT
- A colored box appears over the session: green means the low formed
first, red means the high formed first. Gray means it's still
forming.
- A small label shows the result once the session ends.
- A table (top-right by default) shows the full breakdown: exact
prices, exact times, and a "Bias" (Long/Short) reading.
THE PART THAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most tools stop at "which formed first." This one keeps going and
actually checks your chart's history to answer the follow-up question:
"okay, but does that actually mean anything?" It tracks, for every
past session, what price did AFTERWARD — did it break above the
session high, or below the session low — and shows you the real
percentages. So instead of trusting a rule of thumb, you can see
whether it's actually held up on the exact symbol and timeframe you
trade.
It also projects price targets above and below the session (simple
multiples of the session's range) and shows how often price has
historically reached each one.
FEATURES
- Works on any chart timeframe - internally always reconstructed from
1-minute (or 5-minute, for older history) data
- Fully customizable session times, not locked to the NY open
- Adjustable colors, box/line styles, and label sizes
- A statistics table with three sections: current session detail,
all-time stats, and post-session breakout odds
- Price target lines (+0.5x to +3.0x the session range) with their own
historical hit-rate table
- Alerts for session completion and for each outcome
- No repainting - once a session ends, its result is permanently frozen
A NOTE ON HONESTY
This indicator will tell you "Simultaneous" instead of guessing when
the high and low happen too close together to tell apart (this is a
hard limit of how granular historical data can get, not a shortcut).
Older history beyond what 1-minute data allows automatically falls back
to 5-minute reconstruction, clearly labeled in the table so you always
know the precision you're looking at.
This is an analytical tool for understanding market structure, not financial advice.
Historical statistics describe the past
they are not a guarantee of future behavior.

Opening Auction Trap Map [AGPro Series]Opening Auction Trap Map
🧠 Core Idea
Did the opening auction accept value, reject an early extreme, or trap breakout participants?
📌 Overview / What it does
Opening Auction Trap Map is an intraday session-open analysis tool built to study the first auction window of the trading session.
The script builds an opening auction box, tracks the auction high and low, draws an acceptance rail, maps upper and lower failed-auction trap zones, and classifies whether price is accepting outside the auction or rejecting back into the range.
It does not predict price direction, automate trades, or claim that every opening trap will create a reversal. It is a structured visualization and decision-support tool for intraday auction context.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
Many opening-range tools focus only on breakout direction.
This script was built to answer a more precise auction question:
Was the opening move accepted, or did it trap traders who chased the first extreme?
The design goal is to help intraday traders read the opening range as an auction behavior map instead of treating it as a simple breakout box.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most ORB tools mark the opening high and low, then wait for a breakout.
This script does NOT treat every opening breakout as valid.
Instead, it checks whether the move accepts beyond the auction edge, fails back inside the auction range, or retests a failed edge. The focus is auction behavior, trap risk, range control, and acceptance quality.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Opening Auction Window
The script tracks high, low, and midpoint during the selected opening auction window.
2. Auction Box and Rails
After the auction completes, the script projects the auction box, upper and lower trap zones, and the midpoint acceptance rail.
3. Failed-Auction Detection
If price breaks above the auction high and closes back inside the range with enough upper-wick rejection, the script can mark an upper auction trap.
If price breaks below the auction low and closes back inside the range with enough lower-wick rejection, the script can mark a lower auction trap.
4. Acceptance Evaluation
If price holds beyond the auction edge for the required number of closes, the script can mark accepted movement above or below the auction.
5. Visual Output
The chart displays the auction box, trap zones, acceptance rail, event labels, right-side tags, alerts, and a compact AG Pro panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Opening Auction Box = the high-low range created during the selected opening window.
Acceptance Rail = the midpoint of the opening auction range.
Upper Trap Zone = the area around the auction high where failed upside breakouts may be evaluated.
Lower Trap Zone = the area around the auction low where failed downside breakouts may be evaluated.
UPPER AUCTION TRAP = price failed above the auction high and closed back inside the range.
LOWER AUCTION TRAP = price failed below the auction low and closed back inside the range.
ACCEPT UP = price accepted above the auction high.
ACCEPT DOWN = price accepted below the auction low.
Panel = summarizes auction state, quality score, auction high/low, range control, trap risk, next context, session window, and timeframe scope.
TF Scope = shows whether the current chart timeframe is inside the supported auction-building range.
🚦 Signals & States
• UPPER TRAP → upside auction breakout failed back inside the range.
• LOWER TRAP → downside auction breakout failed back inside the range.
• ACCEPT UP → price accepted above the auction high.
• ACCEPT DOWN → price accepted below the auction low.
• RANGE CONTROL → price is trading inside the auction range.
• ABOVE AUCTION → price is above the auction high but not yet classified as accepted.
• BELOW AUCTION → price is below the auction low but not yet classified as accepted.
• BUILDING → the opening auction window is still forming.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts trigger when a new major auction behavior state appears.
• Upper Opening Auction Trap → price failed above the auction high and closed back inside the range.
• Lower Opening Auction Trap → price failed below the auction low and closed back inside the range.
• Accepted Above Opening Auction → price accepted above the opening auction high.
• Accepted Below Opening Auction → price accepted below the opening auction low.
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when:
• The auction range is clearly formed
• Price probes an auction edge
• The close rejects back inside the range
• Wick quality is strong
• Relative volume confirms participation
• The panel state agrees with the event label
If these elements do not align, the script avoids forcing a trap interpretation.
📊 When to Use
• Intraday session-open analysis
• Opening range review
• ORB validation and failed-breakout detection
• Equity index, stock, futures, forex, and crypto session studies
• 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, and 1H charts
• Markets where the selected opening session has meaning
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Daily, weekly, or monthly charts
• Symbols without a meaningful session open
• Very low-liquidity assets
• Extremely noisy markets where wick behavior is unreliable
• Charts where the selected auction window does not match the actual market session
• Situations where a single opening range should not be over-interpreted
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Opening Auction Window → defines the session segment used to build the auction range.
• Active Session Window → defines the session where post-auction behavior is evaluated.
• Max Chart TF Minutes → defines the largest chart timeframe that should build the auction map. With the default 09:30-10:00 auction window, 30m and lower charts are the intended use.
• Acceptance Close Count → sets how many closes are required before a breakout is treated as accepted.
• Trap Evaluation Window → limits how long after the auction trap logic remains active.
• Trap Wick Quality Threshold → controls how strong the rejection wick must be before a trap label appears.
• Use Volume Confirmation → adds relative volume to quality scoring.
• Trap Zone Width ATR → controls the thickness of the upper and lower trap zones.
• Event Label Mode → Premium focuses on traps and accepted moves. Detailed also allows lower-priority retest labels.
• Projection Bars → controls how far the auction structure projects to the right.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The visual hierarchy is built around the auction range:
The box defines the opening auction.
Trap zones frame the dangerous edges.
The midpoint rail shows range control.
Event labels mark important acceptance or failure behavior.
The AG Pro panel summarizes the current auction state without requiring the user to decode every element manually.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Select the opening auction window that matches the market.
2. Wait until the auction box completes.
3. Watch how price behaves around the auction high and low.
4. Check whether price accepts beyond the edge or fails back inside the range.
5. Use the panel to confirm auction state, quality score, range control, and trap risk.
6. Interpret the output inside broader market context.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
An upper trap does not guarantee a selloff. It means the auction high was probed and rejected back inside the range.
A lower trap does not guarantee a rally. It means the auction low was probed and rejected back inside the range.
Accepted movement does not guarantee continuation. It means price has held beyond the auction edge according to the script’s rule set.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an auto-trading system.
It does not provide guaranteed entry or exit signals.
It is not a standard ORB breakout strategy.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Session settings matter. A poorly selected auction window can produce weak context.
Higher chart timeframes may not capture the opening auction precisely.
Low-liquidity markets may generate misleading wicks.
Gap-heavy markets may require wider interpretation.
The script is designed for intraday auction reading, not long-term chart analysis.
🧠 Market Context Notes
The opening auction is often useful because it reveals early participation, imbalance, and willingness to accept price outside the first range.
Failed extremes can matter because they show where early breakout attempts were rejected.
Acceptance can matter because it shows where the market was willing to continue trading beyond the auction edge.
🧾 Use Case Examples
If price breaks above the auction high but closes back inside the range with a strong upper wick, the script may mark UPPER AUCTION TRAP.
If price breaks below the auction low but closes back inside the range with a strong lower wick, the script may mark LOWER AUCTION TRAP.
If price closes above the auction high for the required number of bars, the script may mark ACCEPT UP.
If price closes below the auction low for the required number of bars, the script may mark ACCEPT DOWN.
🧱 System Philosophy
This script follows a behavior-first approach:
Auction first.
Edge reaction second.
Acceptance third.
Trap risk fourth.
The goal is to reduce blind breakout thinking and encourage structured opening-session interpretation.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can guarantee outcomes.
No auction edge, trap label, acceptance state, or quality score should be treated as certainty.
The output should always be interpreted with broader structure, liquidity, volatility, and personal risk rules.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Markets can move against any interpretation.
This script is for educational and analytical purposes only.
Users are fully responsible for their own decisions.
📚 Educational Note
Use this script to study how the market behaves around the opening auction and whether early extremes are accepted or rejected.

Opening Range Retest Planner [AGPro Series]# Opening Range Retest Planner
## Core Idea
Did the opening range breakout return to its boundary and hold with enough quality to deserve attention?
## Overview / What It Does
Opening Range Retest Planner is an intraday opening range decision-support script built for traders who want to evaluate the quality of the first meaningful retest after an opening range breakout.
The script builds the opening range, tracks the first bullish or bearish breakout, maps a focused retest pocket around the broken boundary, grades the retest from 0 to 100, and displays a clear action state in a compact AG Pro panel.
It does not predict price direction, automate execution, or provide guaranteed outcomes. Its purpose is to organize structure, acceptance, invalidation, and retest quality in a clean visual workflow.
## Purpose & Design Philosophy
Many opening range tools focus only on the initial break. In practice, the first retest after the break is often where the structure becomes more meaningful.
This script was built for traders who want to separate a clean retest hold from a weak pullback, failed breakout, or expired setup. The design supports structured observation instead of impulsive reaction.
## Why This Script Is Different
Most opening range tools stop at the range or breakout itself.
This script does not stop there.
Instead, it focuses on what happens after the break: whether price returns to the broken boundary, respects it, fails back inside the range, or runs out of time before a qualified retest appears.
## Methodology
1. Opening Range Mapping
2. Breakout Detection
3. Retest Pocket Construction
4. Retest Quality Scoring
5. Acceptance, Invalidation, or Expiration State
6. Panel and Alert Output
## How To Read The Chart
The opening range remains the main session reference.
The retest pocket marks the area where the script evaluates whether the broken boundary is being respected or rejected.
Labels highlight qualified retests, invalidations, and key state changes.
Target rails project possible continuation space after a qualified retest.
The panel summarizes OR state, retest score, acceptance side, failure risk, and current action.
## Signals & States
READY -> A retest touched the pocket, held the broken boundary, and met the minimum quality threshold.
MONITOR -> A breakout occurred and the script is tracking whether a qualified retest develops.
WAIT -> The opening range is still building, has just locked, or is waiting for a valid post-break condition.
INVALIDATED -> Price failed back inside the opening range after the breakout.
EXPIRED -> The retest window closed without a qualified retest.
BLOCKED -> The opening range is not valid enough to evaluate.
## Alerts Logic
Bullish Opening Range Retest Ready triggers when a bullish breakout retest holds the broken range high with enough score.
Bearish Opening Range Retest Ready triggers when a bearish breakout retest holds the broken range low with enough score.
Opening Range Retest Invalidated triggers when price fails back inside the opening range after a breakout.
Opening Range Retest Expired triggers when the retest window expires without a qualified hold.
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
## Confluence Logic
The retest score combines pocket touch quality, close response, retest timing, relative volume, opening range volatility fit, and available target room.
When these conditions align, the context becomes stronger. When they do not align, the panel remains in MONITOR, WAIT, INVALIDATED, or EXPIRED state.
## When To Use
This script is most useful in liquid intraday markets where the opening range matters and session structure is clear.
It fits breakout-retest workflows, opening drive continuation, failed breakout monitoring, and structured intraday planning.
## When NOT To Use
Avoid relying on this script in very low-liquidity symbols, extremely noisy sessions, holiday trading, or chart conditions where the opening range session cannot be represented cleanly.
## Key Inputs
Opening Range Mode controls whether the script uses an exact session window or the first chart bars of each day.
Auto mode uses session-window logic on lower intraday charts and switches to first-bars-of-day logic on higher timeframes.
Retest Pocket ATR controls the depth of the retest zone around the broken boundary.
Minimum Ready Score controls how strong the 0-100 retest score must be before READY appears.
Panel and label controls let users adjust position, theme, and visual density.
## Interface & Visual Design
The visual design is chart-first.
The opening range stays readable, the active retest pocket becomes the focus area, and the panel provides compact decision context without covering the whole chart.
The first panel row uses the AG Pro blue header style and shows only the script name.
## Practical Usage Workflow
1. Wait for the opening range to lock.
2. Watch for a breakout beyond the range boundary.
3. Observe whether price returns to the retest pocket.
4. Check the retest score and action state.
5. Treat alerts as attention markers and confirm context with your broader process.
## What This Script Is NOT
This script is not a prediction engine.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an auto-trading system.
It does not guarantee outcomes.
It does not replace independent risk management or market context.
## Limitations & Transparency
Opening range behavior changes across markets, sessions, liquidity conditions, and timeframes.
The score is rule-based and depends on the configured session, ATR normalization, volume behavior, and retest window.
Different chart timeframes may display session structure differently.
## Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users remain responsible for their own decisions.

Opening Drive Quality [AGPro Series]Opening Drive Quality
🧠 Core Idea
Is the first directional drive of the session strong enough to plan around, or is it already losing execution quality?
📌 Overview / What it does
Opening Drive Quality is a session execution planner that evaluates the first directional drive after the market opens. It studies the opening drive channel, early follow-through, pullback acceptance, risk-line integrity, and target-room structure in one clean decision framework.
The script produces a 0-100 quality score, a clear next-action state, an opening drive channel, a pullback acceptance zone, an invalidation risk line, target guide, compact chart labels, alerts, and a premium AGPro panel.
It does not predict price direction, automate trades, or mark every opening range breakout. Its purpose is to help traders evaluate whether the early session drive has enough structure, acceptance, and risk clarity to deserve attention.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
The script was built for traders who need more than an opening range box or a simple breakout marker. The first session move often sets the tone, but the useful question is not only whether price moved. The useful question is whether that move produced clean follow-through, controllable risk, and a meaningful pullback area.
Opening Drive Quality fills that gap by turning the opening move into a structured planning map. It supports traders who study session execution, intraday momentum, and pullback planning without relying on generic signals.
The design philosophy is simple: evaluate the quality of the first drive, define the risk line, project the pullback acceptance zone, and make the next state readable at a glance.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most tools focus on opening range breakouts, session boxes, fixed kill zones, or failed-break signals.
This script does NOT try to clone a generic ORB tool, a kill-zone session engine, or an opening range failure map.
Instead, it focuses on the quality of the first directional drive itself. It asks whether the drive has real thrust, whether follow-through appears after the drive locks, whether price accepts a pullback zone, where the risk line sits, and what the next planning state should be.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The script builds the opening drive from either a fixed session window or the first bars of a new day. This keeps the tool useful across regular-market assets and 24/7 markets.
2. Reference Mapping
After the drive locks, the script maps the opening drive channel, pullback acceptance zone, invalidation risk line, and target-room guide. These references come from the opening drive structure, not from generic support and resistance pivots.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The engine scores drive thrust, close location, range expansion, optional relative volume, follow-through distance, pullback behavior, and risk-line integrity.
4. Visual Output
The chart shows the active drive channel, projected pullback zone, risk line, target guide, state labels, and a compact panel with the key planning reads.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Opening Drive Channel = the locked first directional drive of the session.
Pullback Acceptance Zone = the area where a controlled pullback can be evaluated after a valid drive.
Risk Line = the invalidation line derived from the drive base, pullback zone, and ATR buffer.
Target Guide = a projected target-room reference based on the opening drive range.
Labels = compact markers for drive lock, follow-through, pullback acceptance, weak drive, risk break, and target check.
Colors = teal for bullish drive context, pink for bearish drive context, amber for review states, and indigo for structural emphasis.
Panel = the decision layer showing Drive Side, Follow-Through, Pullback Quality, Risk Line, and Action.
🚦 Signals & States
• DRIVE Q → the opening drive has locked and received a 0-100 quality score.
• FOLLOW Q → the drive has produced directional follow-through after locking.
• PULLBACK ACCEPTED → price is reacting constructively inside the projected pullback acceptance zone.
• WEAK DRIVE → follow-through has not developed inside the review window.
• RISK BROKEN → the active drive has violated its invalidation line.
• TARGET CHECK → price has reached the projected target-room guide.
🔔 Alerts Logic
The script includes alerts for:
• Opening Drive Quality Locked → a qualified opening drive has completed.
• Drive Follow-Through → directional extension appears after the drive locks.
• Pullback Accepted → price reacts inside the projected pullback acceptance zone.
• Risk Line Broken → price violates the active drive risk line.
• Target Guide Reached → price reaches the projected target-room guide.
Alerts are attention markers. They are not trade instructions.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The context becomes stronger when opening drive thrust, close location, session volatility, relative volume, follow-through, and pullback acceptance align.
The context becomes weaker when the opening drive locks with poor thrust, cannot extend, pulls back too deeply, or breaks the risk line.
📊 When to Use
• Intraday session planning.
• Opening-drive analysis after the first market push.
• Markets where the opening session often defines early direction.
• Pullback planning after a strong first drive.
• Session review where risk line and target-room context matter.
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity markets.
• Extremely noisy opens with unstable spreads.
• News-driven bars where the first drive is unusually distorted.
• Assets where the selected opening session is not meaningful.
• Higher timeframes where the opening drive window has no practical session context.
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Opening Drive Mode → chooses first bars of day or a fixed session window. First Bars Of Day is the default so the chart loads with visible drive structure across more symbols.
• Opening Drive Session → defines the drive-building window.
• Tracking Session → defines when follow-through and pullback logic remains active.
• Minimum Quality Threshold → controls when stronger planning labels appear.
• Follow-Through ATR → defines the extension needed for follow-through confirmation.
• Pullback Acceptance Depth → controls the projected pullback zone depth.
• Risk Line Buffer ATR → adjusts the invalidation line beyond the drive structure.
• Target Guide Multiple → controls the projected target-room guide.
• Panel / Label Settings → control panel location, theme, font size, label size, visible label count, minimum label quality, label cooldown, and optional compact plot markers.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built around a clean AGPro panel and chart-first planning visuals. The panel uses a single merged blue header row with only the script name, then five practical rows: Drive Side, Follow-Through, Pullback Quality, Risk Line, and Action.
The chart uses one opening drive channel, one pullback acceptance zone, one risk line, one target guide, and compact labels. The goal is a premium session-planning view without clutter.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel after the opening drive locks.
2. Check whether the drive side and score show a valid planning context.
3. Watch follow-through quality after the drive locks.
4. Evaluate whether price pulls back into the acceptance zone constructively.
5. Use the risk line and target guide as planning references, not automatic decisions.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A strong score means the opening drive has better structure, cleaner close location, stronger volatility context, and better follow-through support.
A pullback acceptance label means price is reacting inside the projected drive-based zone. It does not mean price must continue.
A risk-line break means the original drive plan has lost structural integrity and should be reassessed.
The most useful interpretation comes from combining the panel state with broader market context, liquidity, and timeframe alignment.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine.
• Not financial advice.
• Not an auto-trading system.
• Not guaranteed signals.
• Not a generic support and resistance mapper.
• Not a clone of an ORB breakout tool.
• Not a kill-zone timing dashboard.
• Not an opening range failure scanner.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Timeframe selection affects the opening drive shape. A 5-minute chart and a 15-minute chart can produce different drive channels.
Volatility changes can expand or compress the pullback zone and risk line.
Session definitions matter. The selected opening window should match the asset being studied.
High-impact news, abnormal spreads, and low liquidity can reduce the reliability of the opening drive map.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Opening drives are most useful when liquidity is active and the first session push creates a clear directional reference. A clean drive does not guarantee continuation, but it can create a structured area for evaluating pullback acceptance and invalidation.
The script intentionally keeps its references tied to the opening drive. It avoids pivot maps, order block language, broad S/R zones, and generic failed-break logic.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price locks a strong bullish opening drive, extends beyond the channel, and then pulls back into the acceptance zone without breaking the risk line, the panel may shift toward a constructive planning state.
When price locks a drive but cannot create follow-through inside the review window, the script can mark the drive as weak and shift the action state toward bias reduction.
When price violates the risk line, the original opening drive plan is no longer structurally intact inside this model.
🧱 System Philosophy
Opening Drive Quality follows the AGPro decision-engine philosophy: a script should help the trader evaluate validity, strength, risk, target room, and next state instead of only printing another signal.
The tool is designed to make the opening session easier to interpret through structured references and clean visual hierarchy.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No script can provide certainty.
No opening drive model can guarantee continuation, reversal, or profitability.
This script provides structured context only.
📉 Risk Disclosure
Trading involves risk.
Users are responsible for their own decisions.
This script does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or guaranteed trading outcomes.
📚 Educational Note
Use this script as an educational planning and visualization tool. The strongest use comes from reading the opening drive together with broader market structure, liquidity, volatility, and personal risk rules.
Indicator
NBSG_DayTradingSuiteAn all-in-one day trading overlay designed by a futures trader for futures traders. It consolidates the key levels, anchored VWAPs, session volume profiles, and structural references that intraday traders typically spread across 3-5 separate indicators into a single, configurable script.
Built and defaulted for CME futures (ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, and similar instruments), but the session times are fully adjustable in settings. Traders on equities, crypto, or forex can adapt the indicator to their instrument by configuring the session windows to match their market's electronic trading hours.
The default session times are set for a trader operating in US Central Time (Chicago time). If you trade in a different timezone, adjust the session inputs accordingly.
This indicator is not a signal generator. It plots structure so you can make your own decisions.
FEATURES
Multiple Anchored VWAPs
The indicator plots two independent session-anchored VWAPs, each with optional standard deviation bands:
Overnight VWAP (VWAP 1) anchors at 17:00 CT (CME session open) and accumulates across the entire futures trading day through 16:00 CT. It resets cleanly each session. Optional 1SD and 2SD bands with fill show the statistical envelope around the developing VWAP.
NY Session VWAP (VWAP 2) anchors at 08:30 CT (Regular Trading Hours open) and accumulates through 16:00 CT. It includes a leapfrog mechanic: when the new RTH session begins, the prior session's VWAP is preserved and continues to plot as "Prev NY VWAP," giving you a reference for how price relates to yesterday's value during overnight trading.
Prev NY VWAP: This is the previous day's NY Session VWAP, which continues accumulating through the overnight session after the NY VWAP resets at 08:30. It provides a critical structural reference, particularly during the premarket and early RTH, showing where the prior session's volume-weighted equilibrium sits relative to current price. Many traders use the relationship between current price, the active NY VWAP, and the Prev NY VWAP to gauge directional bias.
All VWAPs use separate source, color, and line size settings.
Higher Timeframe VWAPs
Optional Weekly and Monthly VWAP overlays provide broader context without cluttering the chart. Disabled by default.
Session Volume Profiles (SVP)
Volume is distributed across the bar's high-low range using a configurable tick-based bin size (default: 2 ticks). The script calculates and plots:
Current Session SVP: POC and Value Area (VAH/VAL) for the active session, updating in real time.
Prior Day SVP: POC and Value Area from the previous completed session. These levels carry forward as horizontal references.
Last Week SVP: POC and Value Area from the prior completed week.
Each profile can be displayed as POC Only or POC + VA. The Value Area percentage is configurable (default: 70%).
Static Reference Levels
Prior Day High/Low (PDH/PDL): Previous day's range boundaries.
Last Week High/Low (LWH/LWL): Previous week's range boundaries.
Previous Session Close (PSC): The prior day's closing price.
Premarket High/Low (PMH/PML): Dynamically tracked during the 18:00-08:30 premarket session.
Opening Range (ORH/ORL): The first 15 minutes of RTH (08:30-08:45), with optional fill.
All static levels are individually togglable with independent color and size controls.
Deadzone
A configurable time window (default: 11:00-13:00 CT) highlighted with a background fill and border lines. This marks the midday period where volume and follow-through typically thin out on equity index futures. The time window is adjustable in settings.
Bar Coloring
Optional bar coloring based on the close's relationship to the three primary VWAPs (Overnight, NY, Prev NY). Bars are colored bullish when above 2 of 3, bearish when below 2 of 3, and neutral otherwise. Disabled by default.
Display Modes
A master display mode toggle lets you switch between:
Advanced All-Level: Shows everything you have enabled, the full suite.
Simplified VWAP: Strips the chart down to just the Overnight VWAP, NY VWAP, Prev NY VWAP, and Opening Range. All volume profiles, static levels, and the deadzone are automatically hidden. Useful for cleaner charts or when you want to focus purely on VWAP structure.
Labels
Every plotted level gets a text label with optional price display, offset to the right of the current bar for readability. Labels can be globally toggled on/off.
HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your chart on an intraday timeframe (1m-30m recommended). It is defaulted for CME futures but can be adapted to any instrument by adjusting the session time inputs.
2. The default session times are built for US Central Time (Chicago). If your chart uses a different timezone, adjust the session inputs in the settings to match your market's session boundaries.
3. The default configuration shows most levels. Start by reviewing what each level represents, then toggle off anything that creates noise for your specific approach.
4. For cleaner charts, switch to "Simplified VWAP" mode, which isolates the core VWAP structure and Opening Range only.
CONFIGURATION
All session times, colors, line sizes, and visibility toggles are individually configurable. The settings are organized into numbered groups for clarity:
1. Master Display Mode
2. Session Times
3. NY VWAP Settings
4. Overnight VWAP Settings
5. Opening Range
6. Volume Profiles (SVP)
7. Static Levels
8. Higher Timeframe VWAPs
9. Deadzone
10. Bar Coloring
11. Labels
LIMITATIONS
The default session times are configured for CME futures with the standard 17:00-16:00 CT (close enough) session structure. If you are using this on equities, crypto, forex, or other instruments, you will need to adjust the session time inputs to match your market's electronic trading hours. The indicator will work on any instrument, but the session boundaries must be set correctly for accurate VWAP anchoring and level calculation.
This is a feature-rich script with multiple VWAPs, volume profiles, and level calculations running simultaneously. Tradingview handles it well the vast majority of the time, but on occasion the script may load slowly or display incompletely. If levels appear missing or the indicator looks off, a simple page refresh will typically resolve it.
The session volume profile uses a simplified volume distribution method (volume is evenly distributed across the bar's high-low range in tick-based bins). This is an approximation, not a tick-level volume profile. Accuracy improves on lower timeframes where bars have smaller ranges.
The Overnight VWAP session detection uses an hour-based reset (detecting when the bar's hour enters 17:00 in exchange time) rather than PineScript's built-in session boundary detection. This is intentional: on CME futures, the VWAP session (1700-1600) matches the instrument's native session, which prevents the standard session boundary method from firing correctly.
The deadzone time window relies on your chart's timezone setting. The default of 1100-1300 assumes US Central. Adjust if your chart uses a different timezone.
NOTES
This script is original work, but it stands on the shoulders of giants. The concepts and ideas behind it draw from numerous traders, educators, and open-source contributors who have freely shared their knowledge with the trading community. VWAP, volume profile, session levels, and opening range are not new ideas. What this script attempts to do is bring them together in a thoughtful, configurable way that reflects how an active futures day trader actually uses these tools in practice.
I built this for my own trading first. I am sharing it as open source because the open-source community on Tradingview gave me the foundation to learn, and this is my way of giving back what I have been given.
This is a structural tool, not a trading system. It does not generate buy/sell signals, alerts, or backtest results. Use it as a framework for building your own context around price action.
It's all risky, so you may as well make the bet.

AG Pro ORB Quality [AGPro Series]AG Pro Opening Range Breakout Quality
OVERVIEW / WHAT IT DOES
AG Pro Opening Range Breakout Quality is a session-structure indicator built to evaluate how price behaves around the Opening Range rather than treating every early breakout as equally meaningful.
The script defines an Opening Range from a user-selected session window, locks that range when the session window ends, and then tracks whether price breaks above or below that range with constructive follow-through, delayed expansion, weak continuation, retest acceptance, or failure back into the range.
Instead of acting like a simple breakout marker, this tool is designed to help organize the sequence that often matters most after the range is formed:
range construction, first directional break, follow-through quality, retest behavior, acceptance, and failed continuation.
This makes it more useful for traders who want a structured way to study whether the market is truly accepting price outside the Opening Range, or only probing beyond it temporarily.
UNIQUE EDGE
Most Opening Range tools focus mainly on drawing the range and marking the first break.
This script is designed to go one step further by grading the quality of that break and the quality of post-break behavior.
Its main edge is not the box itself. Its edge is the attempt to classify whether the move is:
clean,
good but delayed,
weak,
accepted after retest,
or rejected back into the range.
That makes the script conceptually different from a generic breakout overlay and also different from a broad market-structure or break-retest map. This indicator is specifically anchored to the Opening Range and to the behavior that follows that range.
METHODOLOGY
1) Opening Range Construction
The script builds an Opening Range from the chosen session window and stores:
- range high
- range low
- optional midpoint
2) Break Detection
After the range is locked, the script scans for the first qualified directional break within a defined search window.
3) Quality Engine
Once a break appears, the script evaluates it using a rules-based scoring framework. The score can incorporate factors such as:
- displacement beyond the range
- body efficiency versus wick behavior
- timing of the break relative to the range lock
- optional relative volume context
- directional alignment versus a moving average reference
- post-break extension quality
- retest depth and retest acceptance
4) State Transition Logic
The script then maps price behavior into structured states such as:
- Building Range
- Watching Break
- Bull Break Detected
- Bear Break Detected
- Bull Acceptance
- Bear Acceptance
- Failed Back In
- Range Expired
5) Visual Organization
The chart can display the Opening Range, the active acceptance zone, and projected target levels so that the user can visually compare the range location, the active accepted area, and nearby expansion references.
SIGNALS & ALERTS
The script can generate alerts for:
- break events
- acceptance events
- failure events
These alerts are intended to notify the user when a defined state transition occurs under the script's internal rules.
They should be treated as workflow events, not as standalone trading instructions.

HOW THIS SCRIPT IS DIFFERENT
This script is not meant to be a general-purpose support/resistance map, and it is not meant to be a broad break-retest engine applied to every chart structure.
Its scope is narrower by design.
The entire logic is centered on the Opening Range and what happens immediately after that range is established. Because of that, the script is more session-specific and more sequence-specific than many broader structure tools.
It is also not a plain "Opening Range breakout = signal" overlay. A break can still be weak, late, accepted after retest, or rejected back into the range. That distinction is the core of the script.
LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY
This is a rules-based interpretation tool, not a predictive model.
The score is an internal quality estimate derived from the script's selected factors and thresholds. It should not be treated as an objective market truth.
Opening Range behavior can vary significantly by instrument, volatility regime, session participation, and timeframe. A configuration that is useful on one symbol may not behave the same way on another.
Projected targets are reference expansions based on the script's range logic. They are not guarantees, forecasts, or required destinations.
Retest and acceptance behavior are also dependent on the selected engine timeframe. Lower engine timeframes may capture more detail, while higher ones may smooth some intrabar behavior.
Users should review settings carefully and test the script on the instruments and sessions they actually follow.
WHAT IT IS NOT
This script is not:
- a guarantee of breakout continuation
- a promise that every accepted break will trend
- a substitute for independent risk management
- a standalone reason to enter or exit a trade
- financial advice
RISK DISCLOSURE
This indicator is provided for educational and analytical use.
All trading involves risk. Markets can reverse quickly, fail to follow through, or invalidate a setup even when a breakout initially looks constructive.
Use the script as a structured chart-reading aid, not as a certainty engine. Position sizing, stop placement, execution quality, liquidity conditions, and broader market context remain the user's responsibility.
If you use alerts, projected targets, or the quality score in a workflow, they should be interpreted within a broader decision process rather than in isolation.
Indicator
Global Session TrackerGlobal Session Tracker is a professional-grade Pine Script tool designed for "Time and Price" traders (such as those following ICT, SMC, or London Breakout strategies). It doesn't just show when a session is active; it dynamically tracks the Opening Range and flags the exact moment price breaches those boundaries.
🟢Indicator Overview
Global Session Tracker indicator acts as a visual map of the 24-hour trading cycle. By segmenting the day into Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York, it allows traders to see how liquidity is engineered in one session and "swept" or "expanded" in the next.
Core Features
Session Candles: The indicator plots "phantom" candles over your main chart. These represent the high and low of the session from its start to the current moment.
Initial Balance (IB): The first candle of every session is marked with a label (e.g., "LON Open").
Dynamic Session Ranges: Unlike static boxes, this script uses plotcandle to create a continuous visual "ribbon" of the session's high/low boundary.
Real-Time Breakout Detection: It monitors the first bar of a session to set the initial high/low and then triggers signals if those levels are broken.
Status Labels: Floating labels on the right-hand axis provide a clean UI to identify which session is currently "Live" without cluttering the main price action.
Multi-Timezone Compatibility: Users can toggle the base timezone (UTC, EST, etc.) to align with their specific broker or local time.
Dashboard Table: A real-time HUD (Heads-Up Display) at the top right showing the Open, High, Low, and Close of only the currently active sessions.
🛠 Technical Details
Logic: "This script identifies the initial high and low of the first bar of a defined session and tracks breaches of these levels throughout the session duration."
Inputs: Explain that tz (Timezone) must match the user's preference for accurate session starts.
Visuals: * Triangles: Session Start.
1.Blue Circles: Bullish Breakout (Price > Session High).
2.Red Circles: Bearish Breakout (Price < Session Low).
Performance: "Zero-repainting logic; signals are confirmed at the close of the bar."
Inputs & Settings
Timezone: Set this to your local time or UTC to align the session hours correctly.
Session Times: Defaulted to standard institutional hours, but fully adjustable.
Show Table: Toggle the dashboard on or off.
📈 How to Use for Trading
Trading sessions provide the "context" for price action. Here are three professional ways to trade using this tool
Strategy 1: The London Breakout (The "Morning Shout")
The London session often sets the trend for the day.
Identify: Wait for the "LON Open" label.
Observe: Let the first 30–60 minutes form a range.
Trade: When you see a Blue Circle (Upside Break), look for a Long entry. If a Red Circle appears, look for a Short.
Target: The New York session open or the high/low of the previous Sydney/Tokyo range.
Strategy 2: The New York Reversal / Continuation
New York often "tests" the extremes of the London session.
Continuation: If New York opens and immediately breaks the London High (Blue Circle), the trend is strong.
Reversal: If price enters the New York session at the London High but fails to break it, look for price to return to the London Low.
Strategy 3: Using the Dashboard for Volatility
Monitor the High and Low columns in the table:
Compression: If the High and Low values for a session are very close (narrow range), it indicates a "Squeeze."
Expansion: A large gap between High and Low indicates a trending market. Professional traders often avoid entering "late" into an already massive expansion and wait for the next session to start.
Additional Strategies:
Global Session Tracker indicator is designed for Session-Based Liquidity Trading. Here are three common strategies:
Strategy A: The Initial Balance Breakout
The Concept: The high and low of the first hour (or the entire previous session) often act as support/resistance.
Trade Setup: Wait for the Blue Circle (High Break) or Red Circle (Low Break).
Execution: If London breaks the Tokyo High (Blue Circle), traders look for a "Stop Run" or a trend continuation toward the New York session.
Strategy B: The "Judas Swing" (ICT Concept)
The Concept: Price often breaks the previous session's high/low to grab liquidity before reversing.
Trade Setup: Use the breakout circles to identify when a level is breached. If a Red Circle appears (Low Break) but the candle closes back inside the range, it may indicate a "Fakeout," signaling a long entry.
Strategy C: Time-Price Alignment
The Concept: Volatility usually spikes at the "Open" shapes.
Trade Setup: Only take breakout signals that occur within 1 hour of the Triangle Up (Session Open) markers. Signals late in a session are often less reliable due to declining volume.

ORB Visual Backtester [MTF]This indicator is designed to help traders visualize and backtest the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy with precision and flexibility. Its primary goal is to facilitate rapid visual backtesting , allowing traders to instantly see how price action behaved around the opening range on historical dates and refine their strategies accordingly without needing complex replay modes.
A key feature of this script is its Multi-Timeframe (MTF) capability. It allows you to view the ORB levels of a higher timeframe (e.g., 60-minute or 15-minute) while trading or analyzing on a lower timeframe (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute chart).
Key Features
Visual Backtesting Optimized: By keeping the ORB box visible for a set duration on past sessions, you can easily scroll back through history to analyze win/loss rates and price behavior at a glance.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Define the ORB candle on any timeframe (e.g., 15m) and view it seamlessly on lower timeframes.
Custom Session Duration: The ORB box does not clutter the chart indefinitely. It stays visible for a specific duration (default: 390 minutes/full session) and then stops, keeping your chart clean.
Precise Timing: Users can set the exact Start Hour and Start Minute to match any market open (e.g., NYSE, London, or crypto sessions).
Weekend Filter: The indicator automatically skips Saturdays and Sundays to prevent invalid drawings during weekend gaps.
Settings & Configuration

Indicator
Session Opening Range Breakout (ORBO)This strategy automates a classic Opening Range Breakout (ORBO) approach: it builds a price range for the first minutes after the market opens, then looks for strong breakouts above or below that range to catch early directional moves.
Concept
The idea behind ORBO is simple:
The first minutes after the session open are often highly informative.
Price forms an “opening range” that acts as a mini support/resistance zone.
A clean breakout beyond this zone can lead to high-momentum moves.
This script turns that logic into a fully backtestable strategy in TradingView.
How the strategy works
Opening Range Session
Default session: 09:30–09:50 (exchange time)
During this window, the script tracks:
orHigh → highest high within the session
orLow → lowest low within the session
This forms your Opening Range for the day.
Breakout Logic (after the window ends)
Once the defined session ends:
Long Entry:
If the close crosses above the Opening Range High (orHigh),
→ strategy.entry("OR Long", strategy.long) is triggered.
Short Entry:
If the close crosses below the Opening Range Low (orLow),
→ strategy.entry("OR Short", strategy.short) is triggered.
Only one opening range per day is considered, which keeps the logic clean and easy to interpret.
Daily Reset
At the start of a new trading day, the script resets:
orHigh := na
orLow := na
A fresh Opening Range is then built using the next session’s 09:30–09:50 candles.
This ensures entries are always based on today’s structure, not yesterday’s.
Visuals & Inputs
Inputs:
Opening range session → default: "0930-0950"
