Daily Levels: PD / PM / OR (RTH/Pre)# Daily Levels: PD / PM / OR (RTH/Pre)
## Overview
This indicator displays key intraday support and resistance levels for US equity markets, specifically designed for traders who use Previous Day, Pre-Market, and Opening Range levels in their trading strategy.
## Key Features
**Seven Critical Levels Displayed:**
- **PDH (Previous Day High)** - Blue line: The highest price from yesterday's regular trading hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)
- **PDL (Previous Day Low)** - Blue line: The lowest price from yesterday's regular trading hours
- **PDC (Previous Day Close)** - Orange line: The closing price from yesterday's regular trading hours
- **PMH (Pre-Market High)** - Yellow line: The highest price during today's pre-market session (4:00 AM - 9:30 AM ET)
- **PML (Pre-Market Low)** - Yellow line: The lowest price during today's pre-market session
- **ORH (Opening Range High)** - Red line: The highest price during the first 30 minutes of trading (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM ET)
- **ORL (Opening Range Low)** - Red line: The lowest price during the first 30 minutes of trading
## How It Works
**At 9:30 AM ET (Market Open):**
- PDH, PDL, PDC levels appear (from previous day's RTH)
- PMH, PML levels appear (from today's pre-market session)
- All lines begin at the 9:30 AM bar and extend right
**At 10:00 AM ET (Opening Range Close):**
- ORH, ORL levels appear (from today's first 30 minutes)
- Lines begin at the 9:30 AM bar and extend right
**Level Persistence:**
- All levels remain visible until the next trading day at 9:30 AM ET
- Levels reset daily for the new trading session
## Use Cases
**Day Trading:**
- Identify key support and resistance zones before placing trades
- Use PDH/PDL as potential profit targets or stop loss areas
- Monitor price reaction at pre-market levels for early trading signals
- Trade breakouts or rejections at opening range levels
**Swing Trading:**
- Assess daily momentum by observing breaks above/below previous day levels
- Use multiple timeframes while maintaining consistent reference points
**Market Structure:**
- Quickly identify if the market is trading above or below key levels
- Recognize accumulation/distribution patterns around these zones
## Technical Details
- **Timezone:** All times referenced are US Eastern Time (America/New_York)
- **Session Windows:**
- Pre-Market: 4:00 AM - 9:30 AM ET
- Regular Trading Hours: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET
- Opening Range: 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM ET
- **Timeframe Agnostic:** Works on any chart timeframe
- **Visual Clarity:** Color-coded lines and labels for easy identification
## Color Scheme
- **Blue:** Previous Day levels (PDH, PDL)
- **Orange:** Previous Day Close (PDC)
- **Yellow:** Pre-Market levels (PMH, PML)
- **Red:** Opening Range levels (ORH, ORL)
## Best Practices
1. Use on US equity indices (SPY, QQQ, ES, NQ) and liquid US stocks
2. Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
3. Pay attention to how price reacts at these levels (bounce vs. break)
4. Most effective during the first 2 hours of trading when volatility is highest
5. Consider the market context (trending vs. ranging) when interpreting these levels
## Note
This indicator is specifically designed for US market hours. Results may vary when applied to international markets or instruments with different trading sessions.

STRIKE BOXThis **“STRIKE BOX”** Pine Script is used by traders to visually define and track the **New York Opening Range (OR)** — one of the most important time windows in intraday trading — and to monitor how price behaves relative to that range throughout the rest of the session.
Here’s the breakdown of what it’s used for and why traders care:
---
### 🕘 **Purpose**
The script automatically identifies and plots:
1. **The New York Opening Range (8:00–9:30 AM NY time)** – where institutional volume begins to surge.
2. **The Trading Session (9:30–17:00 NY time)** – the official U.S. stock market hours.
It marks the **high and low of the opening range** and then watches for **breakouts** or **retests** during the rest of the day.
---
### 💡 **Why traders use this**
1. **Identify key liquidity zones**
* The high and low of the opening range often represent **areas of trapped traders**, **liquidity pools**, and **institutional positioning**.
* Price tends to **revisit or react strongly** around these levels.
2. **Find breakout or reversal opportunities**
* Traders wait for price to **break above or below** the OR to confirm **directional bias** for the day.
* For example:
* A break above the OR high = possible bullish continuation.
* A break below the OR low = possible bearish momentum.
* If price fails to break and stays inside the range, that signals a **choppy or consolidating market**.
3. **Define risk and targets easily**
* The OR gives **natural stop-loss and take-profit zones**.
* A trader can buy near the OR low and target the OR high, or vice versa.
4. **Filter trades during high-volume hours**
* The New York session overlaps with London for a bit — this is when **most daily volume and volatility** occur.
* Many traders only want to trade inside or just after this opening period.
---
### 📊 **How this script helps**
* It **automatically draws lines** for the OR high and low.
* It plots **vertical dashed lines** marking when the OR starts and ends.
* It **detects when price breaks the OR** (sets `High_Break` or `Low_Break` to true).
* It provides clear **visual zones** for decision-making instead of manually drawing them every day.
---
### 🧠 In short
Traders use this to:
* See where the **New York Opening Range** formed.
* Watch for **breakouts or fakeouts** beyond that range.
* Align their trades with **institutional market flow**.
* Keep charts **clean and systematic** rather than guessing daily key levels.

ATR Anchored Range %b by TradeSeekersAll time highs got you spooked to enter with no levels in sight?
Stuck in a multi-week range and wondering where the heck the pivots are!?
Wondering if you're longing the top or shorting the potential bottom and about to get smoked, sending you back to burger flipping?!
Fret not trading friends!
I've been crafting the ultimate map for scalpers, slingers, swingers, swindlers, swashbucklers -and traders too.
Why should I care about this, what's an ATR!?
Nearly any trader that's entered the markets has heard of ATR, perhaps even taken a stab at trying to calculate the flux capacity of a weekly ATR on a lower timeframe. Continually calculating things manually sucks!
Ok, so you haven't heard of ATR? It's the average true range... what's the true range!? It's simply the low subtracted from the high (high - low) of any given candle.
How is ATR useful?
The theory is simple, if the ATRs on the daily timeframe for a stock are 5, then traders may have a reasonable expectation that any day in the near future the stock will mostly move +/- 5 pts. This +/- 5 can be used as a possible daily high and low for traders to use.
But ATR changes as time passes, with every billionaire X post, viral cat meme, fed announcement or government shutdown the market makes it's move. This means without this tool, traders need to run the standard lame (sorry) ATR indicator and then hand draw a bunch of important levels (barf).
I'm convinced and ready to join the ATR army, what do I do?
Glad to have you aboard sailor, slap this indicator on your layout - it'll initially display a bottom panel, say nice things to it.
Usage
The lower panel provides a %b plot representative of the current price relative to the timeframe and period ATR. (Defaults to 1D timeframe and 20 - 20 trading days in a month yo)
This %b plot is a map for price against the key ATR based levels and resets each time the timeframe change occurs.
Keep reading! (maybe grab a snack, you're doing great)
If you want to see what the indicator sees, how it maths the math, open the settings and check the "overlay" option... it's amazing, I know.
Main base of operations
This will be the gray area between first red and green lines, imagine this is a future candle for the timeframe anchored. The red would represent the candle high (red means stop/overbought), and the green would represent the candle low (green means go/oversold).
Regardless of the timeframe anchored, this area always represents the area the ATR indicates will be the building area of the current candle being formed. Traders should expect most of the trading to occur within this area.
The mid line
Don't diddle in the middle, this by default is the open price and it's the ultimate bias filter for bull or bear riders.
Extension areas
Beyond the gray area is the extension zone, this provides a whole ATR from the mid line to the extension.
Assembling a trade plan
There are just a couple of key concepts to master in order to become the ultimate ATR samurai warrior, capable of slicing through even the messiest liquidity.
Above the midline and holding, but still within the gray area? Could be a great long entry with targets to upper levels. The same holds true for below open and holding while still being within the lower gray area.
As price makes it's ascension or decline towards the ends of the initial gray ATR range, consider managing trades here. If it's suspected, due to a strong hold of the midline, that the range low or high is the midline, then continue to manage trades towards the extension zones.
Timeframes and periods oh my
The tooltips already provide some hints, but not everyone goes around clicking and hovering everything in sight (maybe I'm the only one that does that?).
There's a thoughtful approach to the default values, I like to consider the big market participants with my day trades, swings trades and beyond.
By default I've chosen the daily timeframe and a period of 20, one for each trading day of the calendar month.
It's no large leap to consider alternatives, what about 1W timeframe and a period of 4 (1 month) or 52 (1 year)?
The possibilities are nearly infinite, comment on any particular favorite combos.
An Italian Special Bonus!!!
...sorry, it's not pizza....
First, did you know the famous Italian Fibonacci's real name was actually Leonardo? I'm not sure how I feel about that. Fun fact, my ancestors are Italian.
Alright, you may have guessed that the special bonus is the mythical Fibonacci inspired "Golden Pocket", maybe it's a foreshadowing of your pockets - one can only hope.
Use this feature to show the commonly referenced Fibonacci levels within each major ATR range. I've seen some totally mathematical epic-ness with these hence the addition.
Once key ATR levels have been hit look for reversals back to golden pockets (you tricksy hobbits) for potential entry back towards the prior hit ATR level.
The %b turns gold if you have the feature enabled and of course the overlay displays them also, how fun!
Final thoughts
I hope you have as much fun using this indicator as I do, it has brought much joy to my trading experience. If you don't have fun with it, well I hope you had fun reading about it at least.

Session VWAP & ATR H/L ZonesThis script is a comprehensive tool for day traders, designed to visualize key price levels and zones based on volume and volatility within a specific trading session.
Traders would use your script to identify potential areas of support and resistance, gauge the session's trend, and spot opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trades.
Core Concepts Explained
Your script plots three main types of information on the chart, each serving a different purpose for a trader.
1. Session VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) 📈
What it is: The yellow line is the VWAP, which is the average price of an asset for the current trading session, weighted by the volume traded at each price level. It essentially shows the "fair" price for the day according to the market's activity.
How it's used:
Trend Gauge: If the price is consistently trading above the VWAP, it's generally considered a bullish intraday trend. If it's below, the trend is bearish.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: During a trend, traders often look for the price to pull back to the VWAP to find an entry point (e.g., buying a dip to the VWAP in an uptrend).
VWAP Bands: The optional gray, red, and green bands are standard deviations from the VWAP. They measure how far the price has strayed from its "fair value."
2. ATR High/Low Zones (Support & Resistance) 🎯
What they are: These are the shaded green and red areas at the top and bottom of the session's price range.
The red zone (resistance) is calculated by taking the session's current high and subtracting a value based on the Average True Range (ATR), which is a measure of recent volatility.
The green zone (support) is calculated by taking the session's current low and adding the ATR-based value.
How they're used: These are not just lines; they are zones of interest.
Profit-Taking Areas: A trader who is long might consider taking profits when the price enters the red resistance zone.
Reversal Signals: When the price enters one of these zones and shows signs of stalling (e.g., with specific candlestick patterns), it could signal a potential reversal.
3. Previous Session High & Low 📊
What they are: The script plots the high and low from the previous trading session as straight horizontal lines (teal and fuchsia by default).
How they're used: These are extremely significant static levels that many traders watch.
Price Magnets: Price is often drawn to these levels.
Key Inflection Points: A decisive break above the previous day's high can signal strong bullish momentum. Conversely, a failure to break it can indicate weakness. These levels frequently act as strong support or resistance.
TT ToniTrading Adjustable Price Fee Band [%]Simple but perfectly functional indicator with Trading fee bands.
Crypto Trading is with fees and very small trades often don't make sense due to the fees we need to pay. With this band you can visualize your fees before entering a trade and take smarter decisions for tight daytrading and scalping.
You type in the fee for just one trade, the Taker Fee for a Market Order. The bands show the fees in % times 2, so what you will pay for opening and closing the trade in reality. The band therefore shows the real break-even point, with included payed fees.
It additionally helps taking trading decisions or not with very small trades (Scalping).
You can smooth the bands if you want and you can addtionally show the true datapoints if you prefer smoothend bands. I recommend no bigger smoothing than 2, if you don't want to show the datapoints. Additionally you can fill the band, and of course adjust transperency, colour and all the general TradingView stuff.
Fee Overview in the current market for the indicator input field:
BingX with 10% fee reduction code = 0,045 %
BingX: Normal = 0,050 %
Bitget, ByBit, BitUnix, Blofin, Phemex: Normal = 0,060 %
Bitget, ByBit, BitUnix, Blofin, Phemex: with 20% fee reduction code = 0,048 %
Have fun Trading, Happy Profits!

Volume Rate of Change (VROC)# Volume Rate of Change (VROC)
**What it is:** VROC measures the rate of change in trading volume over a specified period, typically expressed as a percentage. Formula: `((Current Volume - Volume n periods ago) / Volume n periods ago) × 100`
## **Obvious Uses**
**1. Confirming Price Trends**
- Rising VROC with rising prices = strong bullish trend
- Rising VROC with falling prices = strong bearish trend
- Validates that price movements have conviction behind them
**2. Spotting Divergences**
- Price makes new highs but VROC doesn't = weakening momentum
- Price makes new lows but VROC doesn't = potential reversal
**3. Identifying Breakouts**
- Sudden VROC spikes often accompany legitimate breakouts from consolidation patterns
- Helps distinguish real breakouts from false ones
**4. Overbought/Oversold Conditions**
- Extreme VROC readings (very high or very low) suggest exhaustion
- Mean reversion opportunities when volume extremes occur
---
## **Non-Obvious Uses**
**1. Smart Money vs. Dumb Money Detection**
- Declining VROC during price rallies may indicate retail FOMO while institutions distribute
- Rising VROC during selloffs with price stability suggests institutional accumulation
**2. News Impact Measurement**
- Compare VROC before/after earnings or announcements
- Low VROC on "significant" news = market doesn't care (fade the move)
- High VROC = genuine market reaction (respect the move)
**3. Market Regime Changes**
- Persistent shifts in average VROC levels can signal transitions between bull/bear markets
- Declining baseline VROC over months = waning market participation/topping process
**4. Intraday Liquidity Profiling**
- VROC patterns across trading sessions identify best execution times
- Avoid trading when VROC is abnormally low (wider spreads, poor fills)
**5. Sector Rotation Analysis**
- Compare VROC across sector ETFs to identify where capital is flowing
- Rising VROC in defensive sectors + falling VROC in cyclicals = risk-off rotation
**6. Options Expiration Effects**
- VROC typically drops significantly post-options expiration
- Helps avoid false signals from mechanically-driven volume changes
**7. Algorithmic Activity Detection**
- Unusual VROC patterns (regular spikes at specific times) may indicate algo programs
- Can front-run or avoid periods of heavy algorithmic interference
**8. Liquidity Crisis Early Warning**
- Sharp, sustained VROC decline across multiple assets = liquidity withdrawal
- Can precede market stress events before price volatility emerges
**9. Cryptocurrency Wash Trading Detection**
- Comparing VROC across exchanges for same asset
- Discrepancies suggest artificial volume on certain platforms
**10. Pair Trading Optimization**
- Use relative VROC between correlated pairs
- Enter when VROC divergence is extreme, exit when it normalizes
The key to advanced VROC usage is context: combining it with price action, market structure, and other indicators rather than using it in isolation.
Fury by Tetrad Fury by Tetrad
What it is:
A rules-based Bollinger+RSI strategy that fades extremes: it looks for price stretching beyond Bollinger Bands while RSI confirms exhaustion, enters countertrend, then exits at predefined profit multipliers or optional stoploss. “Ultra Glow” visuals are purely cosmetic.
How it works — logic at a glance
Framework: Classic Bollinger Bands (SMA basis; configurable length & multiplier) + RSI (configurable length).
Long entries:
Price closes below the lower band and RSI < Long RSI threshold (default 28.3) → open LONG (subject to your “Market Direction” setting).
Short entries:
Price closes above the upper band and RSI > Short RSI threshold (default 88.4) → open SHORT.
Profit exits (price targets):
Uses simple multipliers of the strategy’s average entry price:
Long exit = `entry × Long Exit Multiplier` (default 1.14).
Short exit = `entry × Short Exit Multiplier` (default 0.915).
Risk controls:
Optional pricebased stoploss (disabled by default) via:
Long stop = `entry × Long Stop Factor` (default 0.73).
Short stop = `entry × Short Stop Factor` (default 1.05).
Directional filter:
“Market Direction” input lets you constrain entries to Market Neutral, Long Only, or Short Only.
Visuals:
“Ultra Glow” draws thin layered bands around upper/basis/lower; these do not affect signals.
> Note: Inputs exist for a timebased stop tracker in code, but this version exits via targets and (optional) price stop only.
Why it’s different / original
Explicit extreme + momentum pairing: Entries require simultaneous band breach and RSI exhaustion, aiming to avoid entries on gardenvariety volatility pokes.
Deterministic exits: Multiplier-based targets keep results auditable and reproducible across datasets and assets.
Minimal, unobtrusive visuals: Thin, layered glow preserves chart readability while communicating regime around the Bollinger structure.
Inputs you can tune
Bollinger: Length (default 205), Multiplier (default 2.2).
RSI: Length (default 23), Long/Short thresholds (28.3 / 88.4).
Targets: Long Exit Mult (1.14), Short Exit Mult (0.915).
Stops (optional): Enable/disable; Long/Short Stop Factors (0.73 / 1.05).
Market Direction: Market Neutral / Long Only / Short Only.
Visuals: Ultra Glow on/off, light bar tint, trade labels on/off.
How to use it
1. Timeframe & assets: Works on any symbol/timeframe; start with liquid majors and 60m–1D to establish baseline behavior, then adapt.
2. Calibrate thresholds:
Narrow/meanreverting markets often tolerate tighter RSI thresholds.
Fast/volatile markets may need wider RSI thresholds and stronger stop factors.
3. Pick realistic targets: The default multipliers are illustrative; tune them to reflect typical mean reversion distance for your instrument/timeframe (e.g., ATRinformed profiling).
4. Risk: If enabling stops, size positions so risk per trade ≤ 1–2% of equity (max 5–10% is a commonly cited upper bound).
5. Mode: Use Long Only or Short Only when your discretionary bias or higher timeframe model favors one side; otherwise Market Neutral.
Recommended publication properties (for backtests that don’t mislead)
When you publish, set your strategy’s Properties to realistic values and keep them consistent with this description:
Initial capital: 10,000 (typical retail baseline).
Commission: ≥ 0.05% (adjust for your venue).
Slippage: ≥ 2–3 ticks (or a conservative pertrade value).
Position sizing: Avoid risking > 5–10% equity per trade; fixedfractional sizing ≤ 10% or fixedcash sizing is recommended.
Dataset / sample size: Prefer symbols/timeframes yielding 100+ trades over the tested period for statistical relevance. If you deviate, say why.
> If you choose different defaults (e.g., capital, commission, slippage, sizing), explain and justify them here, and use the same settings in your publication.
Interpreting results & limitations
This is a countertrend approach; it can struggle in strong trends where band breaches compound.
Parameter sensitivity is real: thresholds and multipliers materially change trade frequency and expectancy.
No predictive claims: Past performance is not indicative of future results. The future is unknowable; treat outputs as decision support, not guarantees.
Suggested validation workflow
Try different assets. (TSLA, AAPL, BTC, SOL, XRP)
Run a walkforward across multiple years and market regimes.
Test several timeframes and multiple instruments. (30m Suggested)
Compare different commission/slippage assumptions.
Inspect distribution of returns, max drawdown, win/loss expectancy, and exposure.
Confirm behavior during trend vs. range segments.
Alerts & automation
This release focuses on chart execution and visualization. If you plan to automate, create alerts at your entry/exit conditions and ensure your broker/venue fills reflect your slippage/fees assumptions.

Squeeze Momentum with ADX Filter and Multi-Cycle WavesTitle:
Squeeze Momentum with ADX Filter and Multi-Cycle Waves
Description:
This indicator integrates three well-established technical analysis methodologies into a single oscillator to help traders assess volatility compression, trend strength, and cyclical momentum alignment:
Squeeze Momentum (TTM-style) – Based on Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, it identifies periods of low volatility ("the squeeze") followed by directional breakouts. The histogram reflects momentum using linear regression relative to a dynamic centerline. Positive values indicate upward momentum; negative values indicate downward momentum.
ADX with DI+/DI- (Welles Wilder, 1978) – The Average Directional Index is dynamically scaled to match the visual range of the Squeeze histogram. A user-defined Key Level (default: 32) serves as a reference threshold: when ADX rises above this level, it suggests a strong trend is present. DI+ (green) and DI- (red) show directional bias.
Multi-Cycle Waves (55/144/233) – Inspired by adaptive cycle analysis and MACD-style oscillators, these smoothed momentum waves help identify confluence across multiple timeframes. They are optional and appear as shaded areas when enabled.
Key Features:
The Squeeze Momentum Line appears as black/gray crosses at the zero level, indicating momentum polarity without visual clutter.
The Key Level is shown as a thick gray horizontal line, representing the ADX threshold in the scaled oscillator space.
ADX is plotted with increased line width (3) for better visibility.
All components are dynamically scaled to share the same vertical axis, enabling direct visual comparison.

SGM Gold Day Trading EMAsWhat it does
This tool plots four Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with practical default periods for gold intraday analysis: 9 (Momentum), 21 (Pullback), 50 (Trend Filter), and 200 (Macro). The goal is to provide a clear, multi-horizon structure so traders can quickly assess momentum, pullbacks, intermediate trend, and long-term bias on the same chart.
How it works (method)
Each line is a standard EMA computed on the close price.
The defaults map to common roles:
EMA 9 – Momentum: immediate changes in short-term flow.
EMA 21 – Pullback: typical retracement area within ongoing trends.
EMA 50 – Trend Filter: medium-term confirmation of direction.
EMA 200 – Macro: long-term bias and market context.
Optional dynamic color for EMA9/EMA21 highlights whether EMA9 ≥ EMA21 (green) or not (red). This is a visual aid only; it does not generate signals.
Originality & usefulness
The script focuses on clarity and control rather than automation. It combines a neutral, high-contrast palette with independent line thickness per EMA and an optional visual crossover mode. The configuration encourages disciplined analysis across time horizons without embedding opaque entry/exit logic.
Inputs & customization:
Periods: 9, 21, 50, 200 (all adjustable).
Colors: fully customizable for each EMA; optional crossover color mode for 9/21.
Line thickness: set individually per EMA to emphasize your primary reference.
How to use:
Add the script on any timeframe/asset (gold defaults are provided but not required).
Use EMA 200 for long-term bias; trade with caution against it.
Use EMA 50 to filter intermediate trend; prefer setups aligned with it.
Watch EMA 21 as a pullback reference within trends.
Use EMA 9 to gauge momentum around pullbacks/breakouts.
(Optional) Enable the crossover color to quickly see when momentum (9) is above/below pullback (21).
Notes & limitations:
This script does not produce buy/sell signals or alerts.
It is intended as a visual framework to support analysis and risk management.
Always validate with your own rules, risk controls, and market conditions.
HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.

Bridge Bands ATR (Overlay) ShaneHurst-Adaptive Volatility Bands
A fractal-inspired evolution of Bollinger and Keltner bands that adapts dynamically to both volatility and trend persistence.
This indicator estimates the Hurst exponent (H) — a measure of market memory — and adjusts a standard volatility band to lean in the direction of the prevailing trend.
When H > 0.5, markets exhibit persistence (trending behavior); the bands shift in the trend’s direction.
When H < 0.5, markets are mean-reverting; the bands flatten and recent extremes become potential fade zones.
Band width scales with recent volatility (σ), expanding in turbulent conditions and contracting during calm periods.
Key Features:
Adaptive offset using the Hurst exponent
Volatility-sensitive width for dynamic market regimes
EMA baseline with directional bias
Clear visual separation between trending and choppy phases
Inspired by Benoit Mandelbrot’s The Misbehavior of Markets and H.E. Hurst’s original work on long-term memory in time series.
Use it to identify regime shifts, trend-following entries, and volatility-adjusted stop levels.
Credit for this script goes to a number of people including Steve B, MichaalAngle, doc and joecat808. 500 day DEMA (double EMA) can be used as a longer term momentum line.
Bollinger Band ToolkitBollinger Band Toolkit
An advanced, adaptive Bollinger Band system for traders who want more context, precision, and edge.
This indicator expands on the classic Bollinger Bands by combining statistical and volatility-based methods with modern divergence and squeeze detection tools. It helps identify volatility regimes, potential breakouts, and early momentum shifts — all within one clean overlay.
🔹 Core Features
1. Adaptive Bollinger Bands (σ + ATR)
Classic 20-period bands enhanced with an ATR-based volatility adjustment, making them more responsive to true market movement rather than just price variance.
Reduces “overreacting” during chop and avoids bands collapsing too tightly during trends.
2. %B & RSI Divergence Detection
🟢 Green dots: Positive %B divergence — price makes a lower low, but %B doesn’t confirm (bullish).
🔴 Red dots: Negative %B divergence — price makes a higher high, but %B doesn’t confirm (bearish).
✚ Red/green crosses: RSI divergence confirmation — momentum fails to confirm the price’s new extreme.
These signals highlight potential reversal or slowdown zones that are often invisible to the naked eye.
3. Bollinger Band Squeeze (with Volume Filter)
Yellow squares (■) show periods when Bollinger Bands are at their narrowest relative to recent history.
Volume confirmation ensures the squeeze only triggers when both volatility and participation contract.
Often marks the “calm before the storm” — breakout potential zones.
4. Multi-Timeframe Breakout Markers
Optionally displays breakouts from higher or lower timeframes using different colors/symbols.
Lets you see when a higher timeframe band break aligns with your current chart — a strong trend continuation signal.
5. Dual- and Triple-Band Visualization (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ)
Optional inner (±1σ) and outer (±3σ) bands provide a layered volatility map:
Price holding between ±1σ → stable range / mean-reverting behavior
Price riding near ±2σ → trending phase, sustained momentum
Price touching or exceeding ±3σ → volatility expansion or exhaustion zone
This triple-band layout visually distinguishes normal movement from statistical extremes, helping you read when the market is balanced, expanding, or approaching its limits.
⚙️ Inputs & Customization
Choose band type (SMA/EMA/SMMA/WMA/VWMA)
Adjust deviation multiplier (σ) and ATR multiplier
Toggle individual features (divergence dots, squeeze markers, inner bands, etc.)
Multi-timeframe and colour controls for advanced users
🧠 How to Use
Watch for squeeze markers followed by a breakout bar beyond ±2σ → volatility expansion signal.
Combine divergence dots with RSI or price structure to anticipate slowdowns or reversals.
Confirm direction using multi-timeframe breakouts and volume expansion.
💬 Why It Works
This toolkit transforms qualitative chart reading (tight bands, hidden divergence) into quantitative, testable conditions — giving you objective insights that can be backtested, coded, or simply trusted in live setups.
Institutional Compression Breakout (ICBO Algo) [@darshakssc]The ICBO Algo is a smart intraday trading tool that detects institutional compression zones followed by breakout confirmation. It combines candle range analysis, volume compression, EMA filtering, and ATR-based Risk/Reward zones to highlight high-probability trade setups with visual clarity.
This script is designed for educational and research purposes only, fully aligned with TradingView’s Pine Script policy and publishing guidelines.
🔍 Key Features
🌀 Compression Zone Detection
Identifies low-range, low-volume candles often formed before institutional breakouts.
📈📉 Breakout Signals
Triggered after confirmed price + EMA breakout post-compression.
📊 Dashboard Panel
Displays breakout phase, current R:R ratio, and zone status in real-time.
🟢🔴 Buy/Sell Labels with Emojis
Clean and non-intrusive labels for immediate action recognition.
🔔 Alerts Included
Receive real-time push, email, or webhook alerts for breakout signals.
⚙️ How It Works
Compression Phase:
When the candle range and volume are significantly lower than the moving average, the script flags it as a compression zone.
Breakout Confirmation:
A breakout signal is confirmed when the price breaks the previous high/low and is above/below the trend EMA.
Entry Logic:
📈 Buy: Price > previous high + above EMA after compression
📉 Sell: Price < previous low + below EMA after compression

Bitcoin Power Law Corridor + Z-score
This script visualizes the long-term Bitcoin Power Law Corridor, a conceptual model originally discussed by Harold Christopher Burger, and enhances it with a logarithmic Z-Score framework.
The indicator plots Bitcoin’s long-term regression curve together with estimated resistance and support bands based on power-law relationships between price and time since inception.
The added Z-Score expresses the statistical distance between price and the central regression line, using logarithmic scaling:
Z ≈ 0 → price near its long-term fair-value trajectory.
Z ≈ +2 → price near the lower corridor boundary (historically undervalued region).
Z ≈ −2 → price near the upper corridor boundary (historically overheated region).
This indicator is designed for visual and educational purposes only.
It should not be considered financial advice, a predictive model, or a signal provider.
Users should always combine this tool with other forms of technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis to confirm confluence before making any decision.
