MA Trends — mura visionMA Trends — mura vision is a multi-timeframe trend map that blends two local trend “ribbons” on the current timeframe with higher-timeframe context lines. It helps you read market bias at a glance and align entries with the dominant trend.
What the indicator plots
On the current timeframe
SMA 5/34 — short-term trend ribbon (filled area between SMA5 and SMA34).
EMA 55/89 — swing trend ribbon (filled area between EMA55 and EMA89).
Higher-timeframe context
EMA 233 (4H & 1D) — plotted as lines. Color reflects whether price on the same HTF is above (support) or below (resistance).
KAMA 233 (4H & 1D) — plotted as lines using a custom Kaufman implementation (Efficiency Ratio with fast=2, slow=30; squared smoothing). Color logic is the same as EMA 233.
Optional (disabled by default)
EMA 233 & KAMA 233 on the current TF — toggle on if you want the same 233 anchors on the chart’s timeframe.
Note: All higher-TF series are requested via request.security() with lookahead_off .
How to read it
1 Bias : Use the 4H/1D EMA/KAMA 233 as dynamic anchors.
• Green = price is above the anchor on that HTF (supportive context).
• Red = price is below the anchor on that HTF (resistive context).
2 Alignment : When both ribbons are green (SMA5>34 and EMA55>89) while HTF anchors are green, momentum and context agree (higher-quality trend). The opposite coloring suggests bearish alignment.
3 Pullbacks : Retracements toward the ribbon edges often act as retest zones within the prevailing regime.
Inputs & customization
Visibility toggles for each block:
SMA 5/34 (current TF), EMA 55/89 (current TF), EMA/KAMA 233 for 4H, 1D, and current TF (the latter are off by default).
Colors :
Lines for SMA5/SMA34 and EMA55/EMA89 (plotted with high transparency), fill colors for up/down trend ribbons, and separate support/resistance colors for EMA/KAMA 233.
Line width for all 233 anchors.
MTF behavior & repainting notes
HTF lines (4H/1D) are computed with lookahead_off and update intrabar until the higher-TF candle closes. This is expected on TradingView and not “future-looking”, but values can stabilize only at the close of the 4H/1D bar.
If you require strictly confirmed HTF values, use a “previous bar” approach (e.g., plotting series ) — not included here to keep the display responsive.
Good practices
Determine direction with 4H/1D EMA/KAMA 233, then refine timing with the current-TF ribbons.
For conservative use, favor trades with the color of the dominant HTF anchor.
Combine with your own risk management and confirmation rules.

Ai Golden Support and Resistance Adaptive Support & Resistance (ADR-scaled ABCD + Breakout/Retest Zones)
What it does
This indicator detects actionable support/resistance zones from swing structure and breakout events, then keeps each zone active until it’s invalidated by price. It adapts zone sensitivity using Average Daily Range (ADR) so the same rules scale across symbols and vol regimes.
Core Logic (high level)
Swing & ABCD pattern seed
Detects alternating pivots (high–low–high–low or low–high–low–high) using a user-selected lookback.
Validates basic AB–BC–CD proportions: BC must retrace a portion of AB; CD must extend BC within a set range.
From a valid sequence, sets a candidate level (top for bearish, bottom for bullish).
Breakout confirmation
A level becomes confirmed when price closes beyond it (crossover/crossunder).
On confirmation, the script draws a dotted reference line and records how many bars elapsed from the seed pivot to breakout. That count defines the lookback window used for local extremes.
Zone construction
Supply (bearish): builds a box around the most recent local range near the bearish seed;
Demand (bullish): builds a box around the most recent local range near the bullish seed.
Each zone’s height is derived from nearby extremes and the seed swing, so boxes reflect local structure rather than fixed pip widths.
Volatility normalization (ADR%)
ADR is computed from daily candles.
The Risk Profile input (“High/Medium/Low”) scales required move sizes using ADR%, and adjusts pivot sensitivity (fewer/more bars).
Higher risk → more sensitive (smaller ADR %, tighter pivot lookback).
Lower risk → stricter filters (larger ADR %, wider pivot lookback).
Explosive-move filter (streak logic)
Searches the seeded lookback for consecutive same-color candles (config via the risk profile).
Requires the cumulative % move of that streak to exceed an ADR-scaled threshold.
When found, the zone is tagged as originating from an “explosive” move (potentially higher reaction probability).
Zone persistence & invalidation
Zones persist and auto-extend to the right until invalidated.
Invalidation occurs when price closes through a rule-based threshold derived from the seed structure (stored per zone).
Once invalidated, the zone is marked inactive and stops updating.
Inputs & Controls
Risk Profile: High / Medium / Low (sets pivot lookback, streak length, and ADR% thresholds).
Labels & Visuals: Toggle labels and level lines; set line width.
Colors/Boxes: Supply (red), Demand (green); dotted breakout references.
No broker/session settings are required; the script adapts per symbol via ADR.
On-Chart Elements
Dotted breakout lines at confirmed levels (with measured bars-to-breakout).
Supply/Demand boxes that extend until invalidation.
Optional labels for clarity; minimal clutter by default.
How to Use
Context: Use higher-TF context for bias; apply zones on your trading TF.
Confluence: Combine zones with your own triggers (structure breaks, rejection wicks, momentum shifts).
Invalidation: If price closes beyond a zone’s invalidation threshold, treat that zone as inactive.
Sensitivity: If too many zones appear, switch to Medium/Low Risk (stricter ADR% & pivots); if too few, use High Risk.
Notes & Limitations
Logic is rule-based; there is no machine learning.
Daily ADR is computed from D timeframe, so intraday charts inherit daily volatility context.
Results vary by symbol and timeframe; validate settings per market.

CRUCE EMA200/EMA365 + RETEST Created by our community member Gian from cryptobytez. This indicator shows you when the 200 and 365 EMA cross
Bearish Breakaway Dual Session-FVGInspired by the FVG Concept:
This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
See the Figure below as an example:
Bearish consolidated FVG & Bearish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday high is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bearish breakaway candle, which must have its high below the low of the intraday high candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.
Session Reset: Occurs at session close.
Repaint Behavior:
If a new intraday (or intra-session) high forms, earlier breakaway patterns are wiped, and the system restarts from the new low.
Counter:
A session-based counter at the top of the chart displays how many bullish consolidated FVGs have formed.
Settings
• Session Setup:
Choose ETH, RTH, or custom session. The indicator is designed for CME futures in New York timezone, but can be adjusted for other markets.
If nothing appears on your chart, check if you loaded it during an inactive session (e.g., weekend/Friday night).
• Max Zones to Show:
Default = 3 (recommended). You can increase, but 3 zones are usually most useful.
• Timeframe:
Best on 1m, 5m, or 15m. (If session range is big, try higher time frame)
Usage:
See this figure as an example
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No Bearish breakaway = No Short trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong uptrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bearish breakaway appears after an intraday high, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.
• Best entries of your preferred choices: (this is your own trading edge)
Retest
Breakout
Engulf
MA cross over
Whatever your favorite approach
• Reversal signal is the strongest when price stays within/below the breakaway candle’s
range. Weak if it breaks above.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
Failed example:
Usually happen if you are countering a strong trend too early and using 1m time frame
Last Mention:
The indicator is only used for bearish side trading.
Renko Open Range delta
Delta Renko-Style Indicator Guide (NQ Focus)
This indicator takes inspiration from the Renko Chart concept and is optimized for the RTH session (New York time zone), specifically applied to the Nasdaq futures (NQ) product.
If you’re unfamiliar with Renko charts, it may help to review their basics first, as this indicator borrows their clean, block-based perspective to simplify price interpretation.
⸻
🔧 How the Indicator Works
• At market open (9:30 AM EST), the indicator plots a horizontal open price line, referred to as 0 delta.
• From this anchor, it plots 10 incremental levels (deltas) both above and below the open, each spaced by 62.5 NQ points.
Why 62.5?
• With NQ currently trading in the 23,000–24,000 range, a 62.5-point move represents roughly 0.26% of the daily average range.
• This makes each delta step significant enough to capture movement while filtering out smaller noise.
A mini table (location adjustable) displays:
• Current delta zone
• Last touched delta level
This gives you a quick snapshot of where price sits relative to the open.
⸻
📈 How to Read the Market
• At the open, price typically oscillates between 0 and +1 / -1 delta.
• A break beyond this zone often signals stronger directional intent:
• Trending day: price can push into +2, +3, +4, +5 (or the inverse for downside).
• Range day: expect price to bounce between +1, 0, -1 deltas.
⚠️ Note: This is a visualization tool, not a trading system. Its purpose is to help you quickly recognize range vs. trend conditions.
⸻
📊 Example
• In this case, NQ reached +1 delta shortly after open.
• A retest of 0 delta followed, and price later surged to +5/+6 deltas (helped by Fed news).
⸻
🛠️ Practical Uses
This indicator can help you:
• Define profit targets
• Place hard stop levels
• Gauge whether a counter-trend trade is worth the risk
⚠️ Caution: Avoid counter-trend trades if price is aggressively pushing toward +5/+6 or -5/-6 deltas, as trend exhaustion usually hasn’t set in yet.
⸻
🔄 Adapting for ES (S&P Futures)
• On NQ, 62.5 points ≈ $1,250 per contract.
• For ES, this translates to 25 points.
• Since 1 NQ contract ≈ 2 ES contracts in dollar terms, an optimized ES delta step would be 12.5 points.
You may also experiment with different delta values (e.g., 50 or 31.25 for NQ) to align with your risk profile and trading style.
⸻
🧪 Extending Beyond NQ
You can experiment with applying this indicator to ES or even stocks, but non-futures assets may require additional calibration and testing.
⸻
✅ Bottom line: This tool provides a clean, Renko-inspired framework for quickly gauging trend vs. range conditions, setting realistic profit targets, and avoiding poor counter-trend setups.

This indicator is built on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) concept, with a focus on Consolidated FVG. Unlike traditional FVGs, this version only works within a defined session (e.g., ETH 18:00–17:00 or RTH 09:30–16:00).
Bullish consolidated FVG & Bullish breakaway candle
Begins when a new intraday low is printed. After that, the indicator searches for the 1st bullish breakaway candle, which must have its low above the high of the intraday low candle. Any candles in between are part of the consolidated FVG zone. Once the 1st breakaway forms, the indicator will shades the candle’s range (high to low). Then it will use this candle as an anchor to search for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. breakaways until the session ends.

Usage
1. Avoid Trading in Wrong Direction
• No bullish breakaway = No long trade.
• Prevents the temptation to countertrade in strong downtrends.
2. Catch the Trend Reversal
• When a bullish breakaway appears after an intraday low, it signals a potential reversal.
• You will need adjust position sizing, watch out liquidity hunt, and place stop loss.

range. Weak if it breaks below.
3. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
• 1m can give false reversals if new lows keep forming.
• 5m often provides cleaner signals and avoids premature reversals.
Failed Trade Example:
This indicator will repaint if a new intraday session low is updated. So it is possible to have a failed trade. Here is an example from the same session in 1m chart. However, if you enter the trade later at another bullish breakaway candle signal. The loss can be mitigated by the profit.
Therefore you should use smaller position size for your 1st trade. You should also considering using 5m chart to avoid 1m bull trap. In this example, if you use 5m chart, you can totally avoid this failed trade.
If you enter the trade, you will see the intraday low is stop loss hunted. You can also see the 1st bullish breakaway candle is super weak. There are a lot of candles below the breakaway candle low, so it is very possible to fail.
In the next chart, you can see the failed traded get stop loss hunted. However you can enter another trade with huge profit to win back the loss from the 1st trade if you follow the rule.
Summary
This indicator offers 3 main advantages:
1. Prevents wrong-direction trades.
2. Confirms trend entry after reversal signals.
3. Filters false positives using higher timeframes.
How to sharp your edge:
1. ⏳Extreme patience⏳: Do not guess the bottom during a downtrend before a confirmed bullish breakaway candle. If you get caught, have the courage to cut loss. This is literally the most important usage of this indicator. Again, this is the most important rule of this indicator and actually the hardest rule to follow.
2. 🛎Better Entry🛎: After a confirmed bullish breakaway, you will always have a good opportunity to enter the trade using established trading technique. Your edge will come from the position size, draw down, stop loss placement, risk/reward ratio.
3. ✂Cut loss fast✂: If you enter a trade according to the rule, but you are still not making profit for a period of time, and the price is below the low of the breakaway candle. It is very likely you may hit stop loss soon (intraday session low). It won't be a bad idea to cut loss before stop loss hit.
4. 🔂Reentry with confidence after stop loss🔂: a stop loss will not invalidate the indicator. If you see a second chance to reenter, you should still follow the trade guide and rule.
5. 🕔Time frame matter🕔: try 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m time frame. Over time, you should know what time frame work best for you and the market. Higher time frame will reduce the noise of false positive trade, but it comes with a higher stop loss placement and less max profit, however it may come with a lower draw down. Time frame will matter depending on the range of the session. If the session range is small (<0.5%), lower time frame is good. If session range is big (>1%), 5m time frame is better. Remember to wait for candle to close, if you use higher time frame.
Last Mention:
The indicator is only used for bullish side trading.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.

Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)
INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.

Dual Session ORB S/R Lines Pro by Yendor_BShort description:
Clean opening-range breakout support/resistance lines for London and US sessions with confirmed breakout labels and alert-ready signals. UTC-based, adjustable start point, customizable styling, minimal clutter.
Detailed description:
What it does:
Captures the Opening Range (default first 15 minutes) for London and New York (US) sessions in UTC, plots the high and low as support/resistance lines, and marks confirmed breakouts when price closes beyond those levels. Lines can begin at either the range end or session start and persist for the configured session length.
Key Features:
ORB defined over the first N minutes after session open (configurable, default 15).
Two sessions: London and US (New York) with separate start times.
High/low support & resistance lines per session:
Selectable start point: Range End or Session Start.
Independently customizable color, width, and style (solid/dashed/dotted) for each high and low.
Confirmed breakout labels: only on the first candle that closes beyond the ORB high or low after the range completes (prior close must be inside).
Alerts and alertconditions for breakout long/short per session, usable in TradingView’s alert dialog.
Fully UTC-based. Works on any timeframe; 1-minute or 5-minute recommended for precision.
Minimal visual clutter; no persistent shaded boxes in this version.
Inputs explained:
ORB Duration (minutes): Length of the opening range used to calculate session high and low.
Session Length (hours): How long the S/R lines remain active (typically full session).
London / US Start (UTC): Session open times in UTC.
Line Start Point: Choose whether the lines begin at the range end or at the session start.
High/Low Styling: Independent color, thickness, and style for each session’s high and low.
Breakout Labels: Toggle one-time confirmed breakout annotations.
Alerts: Enable breakout alert messages.
Example workflows:
Monitor the first 15 minutes of the London session.
After the range, wait for a candle to close beyond the high or low for a confirmed breakout.
Use the label or alert to trigger entry logic (retest, continuation, etc.).
Repeat for the US session; compare overlaps for higher conviction.
Alert setup:
Open the Alerts panel. Choose one of the built-in alertconditions: London Breakout Long, London Breakout Short, US Breakout Long, US Breakout Short. Set frequency to Once Per Bar Close. Customize notification/webhook payload if automating.
Preset suggestions:
Standard London ORB: 15 minute range, lines from range end, green high / lime low.
Standard US ORB: 15 minute range, lines from range end, blue high / aqua low.
Overlap Bias: Both sessions active, lines start from session start, differentiated styles.
Tips & best practices:
Combine with external volume or volatility filters to reduce false breakouts. Use on correlated pairs to observe consistent session structure. Treat broken ORB levels as flipped support/resistance on revisit. Prefer confirmed closes beyond lines rather than wick touches.
Limitations / disclaimer:
Provides structural visualization and breakout signaling; does not guarantee profitability. Always apply proper risk management and confirm with additional context. Backtest settings before live use.

Fractal Support and Resistance [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Fractal Support and Resistance indicator automatically identifies high-probability support and resistance zones based on repeated fractal touches. When a defined number of fractal highs or lows cluster around the same price zone, the indicator plots a clean horizontal level and shaded zone, helping traders visualize structurally important areas where price may react.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Fractal Points: Swing highs and lows based on user-defined left and right range (length). A valid fractal forms only when the center candle is higher or lower than its neighbors.
Zone Validation: A level is only confirmed when the price has printed the specified number of fractals (e.g., 3) within a narrow ATR-defined range.
Dynamic Zone Calculation: The plotted level can be based on the average of clustered fractals or on the extreme value (min or max), depending on the user’s choice.
Support/Resistance Zones: Once a zone is validated, a horizontal line and shaded box are drawn and automatically extended into the future until new valid clusters form.
Auto-Clean & Reactivity: Each zone persists until replaced by a new fractal cluster, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered and adaptive.
🔵 FEATURES
Detects swing fractals using adjustable left/right range.
Confirms zones when a defined number of fractals occur near the same price.
Plots horizontal level and shaded box for visual clarity.
Choice between average or min/max logic for level calculation.
Distinct color inputs for support (green) and resistance (orange) zones.
Adaptive auto-extension keeps valid zones projected into the future.
Displays optional triangle markers above/below bars where fractals form.
Clean design optimized for structural S/R analysis.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use support zones (from low fractals) to look for potential long entries or bounce points .
Use resistance zones (from high fractals) to look for short setups or rejections .
Adjust the Fractals Qty to make zones more or less strict—e.g., 3 for higher reliability, 2 for quicker responsiveness.
Combine with liquidity indicators or break/retest logic to validate zone strength.
Toggle between average and min/max mode to fit your style (average for balance, extremes for aggression).
🔵 CONCLUSION
Fractal Support and Resistance offers a robust way to identify hidden levels that the market respects repeatedly. By requiring multiple fractal confirmations within a zone, it filters out noise and highlights clean structural areas of interest. This tool is ideal for traders who want automatic, adaptive, and reliable S/R levels grounded in raw market structure.

RSI Shift Zone [ChartPrime]OVERVIEW
RSI Shift Zone is a sentiment-shift detection tool that bridges momentum and price action. It plots dynamic channel zones directly on the price chart whenever the RSI crosses above or below critical thresholds (default: 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold). These plotted zones reveal where market sentiment likely flipped, helping traders pinpoint powerful support/resistance clusters and breakout opportunities in real time.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS
When the RSI crosses either the upper or lower level:
A new Shift Zone channel is instantly formed.
The channel’s boundaries anchor to the high and low of the candle at the moment of crossing.
A mid-line (average of high and low) is plotted for easy visual reference.
The channel remains visible on the chart for at least a user-defined minimum number of bars (default: 15) to ensure only meaningful shifts are highlighted.
The channel is color-coded to reflect bullish or bearish sentiment, adapting dynamically based on whether the RSI breached the upper or lower level. Labels with actual RSI values can also be shown inside the zone for added context.
⯁ KEY TECHNICAL DETAILS
Uses a standard RSI calculation (default length: 14).
Detects crossovers above the upper level (trend strength) and crossunders below the lower level (oversold exhaustion).
Applies the channel visually on the main chart , rather than only in the indicator pane — giving traders a precise map of where sentiment shifts have historically triggered price reactions.
Auto-clears the zone when the minimum bar length is satisfied and a new shift is detected.
⯁ USAGE
Traders can use these RSI Shift Zones as powerful tactical levels:
Treat the channel’s high/low boundaries as dynamic breakout lines — watch for candles closing beyond them to confirm fresh trend continuation.
Use the midline as an equilibrium reference for pullbacks within the zone.
Visual RSI value labels offer quick checks on whether the zone formed due to extreme overbought or oversold conditions.
CONCLUSION
RSI Shift Zone transforms a simple RSI threshold crossing into a meaningful structural tool by projecting sentiment flips directly onto the price chart. This empowers traders to see where momentum-based turning points occur and leverage those levels for breakout plays, reversals, or high-confidence support/resistance zones — all in one glance.
BornInvestor Gap Detector📈 BornInvestor Gap Detector
The BornInvestor Gap Detector is a powerful visual tool for identifying and analyzing price gaps on any chart. It automatically detects up and down gaps, highlights them with customizable boxes, and offers detailed labeling and alerting functionality.
🔍 Key Features:
Automatic Detection of bullish and bearish gaps based on customizable deviation settings.
Visual Highlighting of gaps using colored boxes with optional trail length limitation.

Optional Message when no gaps are found on the current chart.
💡 Usefulness:
Gaps are an edge. They frequently act as support or resistance—especially on the first retest—when aligned with high-volume areas or other key price zones. Many strong stock moves begin with gaps, a concept central to strategies like Episodic Pivots.
This indicator helps you:
Identify gaps as potential entry zones on secondary setups
Quantify gaps via percentage size
Filter gaps based on size to suit your specific trading approach
Set alerts when price enters a gap or meets your custom criteria
Live Breakout Zones (No Repaint)The Live Breakout Zones indicator is a non-repainting, real-time breakout detection tool designed to help traders identify critical price breakouts as they happen — without lag and without repainting past signals.
This indicator scans recent price action to determine the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period. When price closes above the recent high or below the recent low, it immediately plots a breakout zone on the chart and provides a visual confirmation through labels and optional alerts.
🔍 Key Features:
✅ No Repainting – Signals are locked in as soon as a breakout happens; no future bar confirmation is needed.
⏱️ Minimal Lag – Reacts on breakout of recent range highs/lows without waiting for pivots or candle confirmation.
📦 Breakout Zones – Automatically draws colored rectangles showing the breakout level and zone width for clearer analysis.
🔔 Real-Time Alerts – Alerts for both bullish and bearish breakouts help you stay informed without watching the screen.
⚙️ Customizable – Adjustable lookback length, zone width, and color settings to match your strategy or chart style.
📈 Use Cases:
Identify key breakout moments for entry or retest zones.
Confirm breakout-based strategies in trending or consolidating markets.
Use zones for setting risk-reward areas, SL/TP levels, or re-entry planning.
⚙️ Settings:
Lookback Range (High/Low): Defines how many previous bars are checked for breakout levels.
Zone Width: Number of bars to extend the breakout box forward.
Bullish/Bearish Zone Color: Choose custom colors for breakout visualization.
🧠 Trading Tip:
Combine this tool with volume spikes, tail candles, or support/resistance for more reliable breakout setups.
cd_secret_candlestick_patterns_CxHi traders,
With this indicator, we aim to uncover secret candlestick formations that even advanced traders may miss—especially those that can't be detected by classic pattern indicators, unless you're a true master of candlestick patterns or candle math.
________________________________________
General Idea:
We'll try to identify candlestick patterns by regrouping candles into custom-sized segments that you define.
You might ask: “Why do I need this? I can just look at different timeframes and spot the structure anyway.” But it’s not the same.
For example, if you're using a 1-minute chart and add a higher-timeframe candle overlay (like 5-minute), the candles you see start at fixed timestamps like 0, 5, 10, etc.
However, in this indicator, we redraw new candles by grouping them from the current candle backward in batches of five.
These candles won't match the standard view—only when aligned with exact time multiples (e.g., 0 and 5 minutes) will they look the same.
In classic charts:
• You see 5-minute candles that begin every 0 and 5 minutes.
In this tool:
• You see a continuously updating set of 5 merged 1-minute candles redrawn every minute.
What about the structures forming in between those fixed timeframes?
That’s exactly what we’ll be able to detect—while also making the lower timeframe chart more readable.
________________________________________
Candle Merging:
Let’s continue with an example.
Assume we choose to merge 5 candles. Then the new candle will be formed using:
open = open
close = close
high = math.max(high , high , high , high , high)
low = math.min(low , low , low , low , low)
This logic continues backward on the chart, creating merged candles in groups of 5.
Since the selected patterns are made up of 3, 4, or 5 candles, we redraw 5 such merged candles to analyze.
________________________________________
Which Patterns Are Included?
A total of 18 bullish and bearish patterns are included.
You’ll find both widely known formations and a few personal ones I use, marked as (MeReT).
You can find the pattern list and visual reference here:
________________________________________
Entry and Filtering Suggestions:
Let me say this clearly:
Entering a trade every time a pattern forms will not make you profitable in the long run.
You need a clear trade plan and should only act when you can answer questions like:
• Where did the pattern appear?
• When and under what conditions?
It’s more effective to trade in the direction of the trend and look for setups around support/resistance, supply/demand zones, key levels, or areas confirmed by other indicators.
Whether you enter immediately after the pattern or wait for a retest is a personal choice—but risk management is non-negotiable.
One of the optional filters I’ve included is a Higher Timeframe (HTF) condition, which is my personal preference:
When enabled, the highest or lowest price among the pattern candles must match the high or low of the current HTF candle.
You can see in the image below the decrease in the number of detected patterns on the 1-minute chart when using no filter (blue labels) compared to when the 1-hour timeframe filter is applied (red labels).
Additionally, I’ve added a “protected” condition for engulfing patterns to help filter out weak classic engulf patterns.
________________________________________
Settings:
From the menu, you can configure:
• Number of candles for regrouping
• Distance between the last candle and newly drawn candles
• Show/hide options
• HTF filter toggle and timeframe selection
• Color, label placement, and text customization
• Pattern list (select which to display or trigger alerts for)
My preferred setup:
While trading on the 1-minute chart, I typically set the higher timeframe to 15m or 1H, and switch the candle count between 2 and 3 depending on the situation.
⚠️ Important note:
The “Show” and “Alert” options are controlled by a single command.
Alerts are automatically created for any pattern you choose to display.
________________________________________
What’s Next?
In future updates, I plan to add:
• Pattern success rate statistics
• Multi-broker confirmation for pattern validation
Lastly, keep in mind:
The more candles a pattern is based on, the more reliable it may be.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful trading! 🕊️📈
