ICMR — Chrono Maker Range (v12.7.1)✅ ICMR — Chrono Maker Range (v12.7) — Description (Balanced Technical + Friendly)
ICMR — Chrono Maker Range is a hybrid market-structure tool designed to help traders clearly identify directional bias and high-quality breakouts using either Higher-Timeframe (HTF) ranges or Initial Balance (IB) ranges. The indicator automatically builds the range, colors candles by market state, and highlights breakout signals using smart filters to reduce noise.
The concept is simple:
Price is either above the range (Bullish), inside the range (Neutral), or below the range (Bearish)—and ICMR keeps this state stable and easy to follow.
🔷 How It Works
ICMR constructs a tradable range using one of two modes:
1) HTF Range Mode
Pulls the High / Low from a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily, 4H).
You can choose:
Previous HTF candle → stable, non-moving range
Current HTF candle → dynamic, expands until HTF close
Perfect for tracking market bias across smaller timeframes.
2) Initial Balance (IB) Mode
Builds the range from the first N minutes of the session (e.g., first 60 minutes).
After the IB period ends, the range locks and becomes the day’s framework.
🔷 Market State Logic
The indicator evaluates where price is relative to the range and classifies the market into:
✅ Bullish → price breaks above the range
⚪ Neutral → price stays inside
❌ Bearish → price breaks below
You can optionally enable an EMA Trend Filter (fast vs slow EMA) to ensure breakouts align with trend direction.
🔷 Smart Signal System
ICMR includes compact signal shapes (triangles/circles), but only when conditions are strong:
✔️ Minimum breakout distance beyond the range
✔️ Candle body must exceed a % of ATR
✔️ Optional volume expansion filter
✔️ Cooldown between signals to avoid over-trading
✔️ Option to trigger signals only on state flips
These filters help keep signals actionable and reduce noise.
🔷 Visual Tools
HTF/IB Range High, Range Low, Midline
Optional shaded box
Segmented extend-right lines that reset when HTF/IB changes
Bar coloring (Bull/Neutral/Bear)
Soft background tint (optional)
Built-in info panel with range & filter stats
Alerts on state flips
Everything is designed to keep the chart clean and readable.
🔷 Presets
The indicator includes two ready-to-use profiles:
Conservative
Stable HTF ranges, confirmed breaks, trend-filtered signals, and fewer alerts.
Aggressive
Dynamic HTF ranges, more flexible break rules, and more frequent signals.
Each preset can be fully customized.
🔷 How Traders Use It
Intraday traders use HTF ranges (D, 4H) for bias on 1m–15m charts.
Day traders use IB to track the opening range and breakout opportunities.
Swing traders use conservative settings to filter false moves.
Scalpers enable aggressive mode with ATR/volume filters.

Detection Method:
- Default: 15-minute opening range (configurable)
- Custom Range: Set specific session times with timezone support
- Automatically identifies ORH (Opening Range High) and ORL (Opening Range Low)
- Tracks ORB mid-point for reference

Smart Money Price Action ProSmart Money Price Action Pro - Smart Money and Price Action Dynamic Toolkit
The Smart Money Price Action Pro is designed to bring together multiple layers of market analysis into a single, cohesive framework, combining trend identification and consolidation detection in an actionable format. While individual indicators can provide useful insights, they often work in isolation. This toolkit integrates market flow detection, range analytics, and adaptive visualization into one system, allowing traders to see the bigger picture without piecing together multiple disconnected tools.
Building on principles from institutional trading behaviors, the toolkit gives traders a clearer picture of where “smart money” may be entering or exiting the market. Its design emphasizes confluence: signals from multiple independent modules overlap to create higher conviction setups, offering a structured edge when planning entries, exits, and risk levels.
At its core, the toolkit addresses the duality of market conditions: trending versus ranging. By offering a combination of trend-following signals and contrarian insights, it helps traders operate with a deeper understanding of market structure. While it provides actionable signals and visual guidance, it is intended as an assistive system, helping traders make more informed decisions rather than serving as a single source of truth.
Key Modules
1. Smart Money Signal Module
The Smart Money Signal Module identifies potential institutional activity by analyzing price swings and momentum shifts. Using configurable swing detection, it highlights potential reversal or continuation zones, expressed as adaptive zones around key market levels.
Signals are augmented with trend-colored candle overlays, offering immediate guidance on market bias. Bullish and bearish zones are clearly marked, while continuation and reversal markers help distinguish between trend shifts and market noise.
At its core, the engine applies swing detection combined with a sensitivity filter to track directional momentum across recent bars. This allows it to pinpoint bullish pivots (where downside momentum fades and strength returns) and bearish pivots (where upside momentum collapses). Once a pivot is confirmed, the system draws flow lines that map the breakout and classify it as either continuation or reversal, depending on broader market bias.
Momentum zones are then plotted to show areas where buyers stepped in with strength or sellers forced price lower. These levels extend forward dynamically, shifting in real time as new data forms. Zones change color the moment they break, visually confirming whether market structure has held or failed. Gradient shading highlights periods of extreme pressure, giving traders a clear visual of when momentum surges into overbought or oversold territory.
Instead of simply showing trend direction, this module also maps accumulation and distribution zones tied to institutional flows. When combined with the Range Module, these zones become more meaningful — for example, when institutional accumulation aligns with a breakout from consolidation.
Practical Use: Traders can use these signals to align trades with institutional flows. For example, entering a long position near a bullish accumulation zone or managing risk when bearish distribution areas form. By combining these insights with higher timeframe analysis, traders can filter out false signals and improve decision-making.
2. Range Detection Module
The Range Detection engine continuously monitors price action to flag when markets transition into consolidation phases. Ranges are defined not just by flat price action, but by a measurable contraction in volatility, repeated touches of boundary levels, and the clustering of traded volume around a central equilibrium point.
Once a valid range is identified, the system assigns a compression strength score (0–100). This score reflects how cleanly defined and structurally sound the consolidation is—higher scores indicate tighter boundaries and stronger evidence of accumulation or distribution.
Breakout tendencies are modeled dynamically. The system updates a forward-looking bias by incorporating:
Boundary time distribution – how often price presses against upper vs. lower edges
Historical breakout patterns – probability benchmarks derived from structurally similar ranges
Volume skew – whether traded volume leans toward buyers or sellers inside the range
Momentum alignment – auxiliary filters such as slope-based oscillators that indicate when energy is building for a directional move
The result is a live breakout forecast that evolves bar by bar as the range matures. Each active range carries a visual strength meter plotted above the consolidation zone, quantifying both compression and breakout potential in real time.
The module also supports range memory, preserving completed consolidations even after a breakout. This allows traders to review the prior structure for post-analysis or to track whether price respects the boundaries of the old range as support or resistance going forward.
Practical Use : Traders can use these ranges to anticipate breakout direction or step aside when conditions are unclear. A tight consolidation near a bullish zone, for instance, often signals a potential long opportunity, while overlapping bearish flows warn of false breakouts.
Integrated Workflow
The strength of the toolkit lies in its synergy. Each module is effective on its own, but the real advantage comes when their signals align.
A typical workflow may include:
Assessing the market trend using the Smart Money Signal Module and its trend-colored overlays
Identifying consolidation and breakout zones with the Range Detection Module
Watching for confluences: institutional accumulation aligning with range compression, or dashboard bias matching local setups
Executing trades with structured confidence, using these layered confirmations rather than relying on a single trigger
This integrated workflow streamlines decision-making and avoids the conflicting signals that can occur when combining unrelated indicators.
Additional Features
Adaptive Visualization : Dynamic zones and trend overlays adjust to volatility, keeping charts clear and focused
Analytics Dashboard : A compact summary panel shows active zones, bullish vs bearish flow counts, and current bias, giving context at a glance
Instead of simply adding more signals, the dashboard provides a meta-layer of analysis — context, bias, and flow strength — helping traders manage risk and stay aligned with broader market conditions.
Use Cases
Trend Confluence : Entering trades in line with prevailing smart money flows while filtering out counter-trend setups
Breakout Trading : Using the Range Detection Module to anticipate breakout zones and confirming direction with institutional flow signals
Contrarian Reversal Trades : Targeting accumulation/distribution zones where both modules indicate potential reversals
Each use case demonstrates how layered confluence creates clarity and conviction, making the toolkit a strong complement to other forms of technical analysis.
Conclusion
The Smart Money Signals Toolkit simplifies complex market analysis into actionable, visually intuitive insights. While standalone indicators provide value, this toolkit goes further by combining smart money flows, range detection, adaptive zones, and dashboard analytics into one cohesive system.
It doesn’t just generate buy/sell markers — it shows why a setup matters, where it is occurring, and how it aligns with broader conditions. This allows traders to operate with greater clarity, structure, and discipline.
Risk Disclaimer : This toolkit and its features are for educational and informational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. All suggested use cases are theoretical and should be applied with proper risk management.
10 Monday's 1H Avg Range + 30-Day Daily RangeWhat This Script Does
This indicator is designed for traders who want to monitor volatility and range behavior at the start of the trading week . It focuses specifically on the first four 15-minute candles of each Monday and tracks their combined high-low range over time.
How It Works
Monday 1H Range Detection:
Each week, it automatically detects and highlights the first 4 candles of Monday on a 15-minute chart (1 hour total). It calculates the range between the highest high and lowest low of these candles.
10-Week Average of Monday 1H Ranges:
It stores and averages the last 10 such ranges, displaying this average in a table for weekly comparison.
30-Day Daily Range Average:
Separately, it calculates the average daily range (high – low) of the last 30 daily candles. This value helps put the Monday 1H range into broader context and can guide Stop Loss or TP planning.
Dynamic Labeling & Visual Highlights:
The script visually highlights the first 4 candles of Monday and places a label showing the pip range once the 4 candles have completed. It also updates a small table with the two averages described above.
How to Use It
Use it on the 15-minute timeframe to activate the Monday 1H logic.
Compare the current week’s Monday range to the 10-week average to see if volatility is increasing or decreasing.
Use the 30-day daily range to determine if the Monday opening movement is unusually large or small.
Consider adjusting trade entries, stops, or targets if the Monday range is disproportionately large compared to recent historical behavior.
What Makes It Original?
This is not a typical volatility indicator like ATR or standard deviation. Instead, it’s a purpose-built tool combining:
Time-specific behavior (first hour of the week),
Historical contextualization (10-week average tracking),
A dual-timeframe analysis (15-min + daily),
A user-friendly table and visual interface.
This script helps intraday or swing traders spot abnormal volatility early in the week and adjust their strategies accordingly—especially in fast-moving Forex or Index markets.
Market Structure RangesI have written a script for determining the BIAS.
It uses fractals of 3 for the highs and lows.
It works as follows:
If a range high is broken (!!!candelclose!!!), the last fractal low is selected as the new low point. The Rangelow is determined from this low point.
If a fractal high now occurs, the range high is set at this point.
This Range between the low range and high range is called "Dealing range" , this is divided at the centre - into premium and discount.
The range stays the same, until we see a body close outside this range!
The same applies to a short scenario, only in reverse.
In the indicator, the higher timeframe is selected, which determines the input for the dealing range. Then the dealing range from the higher timeframe is displayed in each timeframe that we want to use for our trades.
The indicator should be used to trade with the trend: for example, the last higher timeframe break is bullish (displayed in the table) -- called kMS
and on the other hand that we only want to take tades that are in the lower part of the range, i.e. in the discount area for buy trades.
This indicator therefore serves as a filter for the higher timeframe trend and higher timeframe premium/discount ranges.

How it Works
The Donchian Trend Ranges indicator calculates the highest and lowest prices over a specified period to create a basis line. It creates a range around the basis based on standard deviations and the clouds' width is determined by a 14 period ATR. The basis line and bar colors changes based on whether the closing price is above or below it, indicating trends. Clouds around these lines represent market reversal zones that can be used as entry levels when used in confluence with momentum indicators, visual signals ("X" and "◆") marking strong and weak take profit points are also printed when the prices revert from the clouds towards the basis. Integrated alerts notify you of significant events like trend shifts and take profit signals, keeping you informed without constant monitoring.

KNN ATR Dual Range Predictions [SS]Excited to release this indicator!
I wanted to do a machine learning, ATR based indicator for a while, but I first had to learn about machine learning algos haha.
Now that I have created a KNN based regression methodology (shared in a previous indicator), I can finally do it!
So this is a Nearest Known Neighbor or KNN regression based indicator that uses ATR (average ranges) to predict future ranges.
It operates by calculating the move from High to Open and Open to Low and performing KNN regression to look for other, similar instances of similar movements and what followed those movements.
It provides for 2 methods of KNN regression, the traditional Cluster method (where it identifies a number of clusters within a tolerance range and averages them out), or the method of last instance (where it finds the most recent identical instance and plots the result from that).
You can toggle the parameters as you wish, including the:
a) Type of Regression
b) Number of Clusters
c) Tolerance for Clusters
Others functions:
The indicator provides for the ability to view 2 different timeframe targets. The default calculation is the current timeframe you are on. So if you are on the 1 minute, 5 minute or 1 hour, it will automatically default the primary range to this timeframe. This cannot be changed.
But it permits for a second prediction to be calculated for a timeframe you can specify. The example in the chart above is the 1 hour overlaid on the 5 minute chart.
You can see how the model is performing in the statistics table. The statistics table can be removed as well if you don't want it overlaid on your chart.
You can also toggle off and on the various ranges. IF you only want to visualize 1 hour levels on a 5 minute chart, you can toggle off the bands and just view the higher tf data. Inversely, if you only want the current timeframe data and not the higher tf data, you can toggle the higher tf data off as well.
General Use Tips:
Some general use tips include:
🎯The default settings are appropriate for most common tickers. Because this is performing an autoregression on itself, the parameters tend to be more tight vs. performing dual correlation between two separate tickers which are sizably different in scale (which would require a higher tolerance).
Here is an example of YM1!, which is a sizably larger ticker, however it is performing well with the current settings.
🎯 If you get not great results from your ranges or an error in the correlation table, something like this:
It means the parameters are too tight for what you want to do and it is having trouble identifying other, similar cases (in this case, the lookback length was significantly shortened). The first step is to:
a) Expand your lookback range (up to 500 is usually sufficient). This should resolve most issues in most cases. If not:
b) If you are using the Cluster method, try broadening your cluster tolerance by 0.5 increments.
Between those two implementations, you should get a functional model. And it actually honestly hasn't happened to me in general use, I had to force that example by significantly shortening the lookback period.
Concluding Remarks
And that's pretty much the indicator.
I hope you enjoy it! I was really excited to be finally able to do it, like I said I attempted to do this for a while but needed to research the whole KNN process and how its performed.

The HoneyChai RSI by CoffeeShopCryptoHere is a fun new way to view the RSI. A new TradingView Indicator for you RSI enthusiasts. This is the Honey Chai RSI Indicator.
This indicator combines the RSI oscillator with additional features to enhance its functionality and visual study.
The purpose of this indicator is to provide a more comprehensive view of the RSI and aid in identifying trends, potential entry / exit points, and ranging conditions.
How it's Built.
The RSI:
The RSI is represented by its common line which you can turn on and off, as usual.
Japanese candlesticks:
In this indicator, are also Japanese candlesticks giving you their representation of the RSI. This provides a clearer visualization of the RSI movements across its Open, High, Low, and Close, unlike the OHLC of the Heiken Ashi candles in the Heiken Ashi Algo.
In addition to the RSI line and Japanese candles, there are two moving averages applied to the RSI value. For the purpose of keeping with my CoffeeShop theme, the High average line is the Honey Line and the Low average line is the Chai Line. The user can choose between Exponential Moving Average or Simple Moving average. These moving averages are calculated based on the high vs low values of the past RSI readings, with the high average acting as the leading line.
When the Honey line is above the Chai Line, it indicates an uptrend, whereas when the Honey Line is below the Chai Line, it suggests a downtrend.
If the price is moving up but the Honey line is still below the Chai line, you're technically still in a downtrend and you should trade this like a pullback.
Identifying Trends.
To identify short entries, you need to wait for the Japanese candles to open and close below the Honey line while the Honey line is below the Chai Line. Conversely, you wait for the Japanese candles to open and close above the Honey line while the Honey line is above the Chai Line. This confirmation helps in identifying potential reversal points.
Range Bound Market.
The indicator also incorporates a visual representation of a ranging area. The 60 and 40 levels of the RSI are visually differentiated to indicate this range. When the Japanese candles are opening and closing within this range and the RSI remains contained within these levels, it suggests that the price is likely in a ranging phase, and traders should wait for a breakout from this range before taking action.
In summary, this custom indicator provides a comprehensive view of the RSI oscillator by incorporating Japanese candlestick visuals, moving averages, and a visual representation of the ranging area. By analyzing these elements, traders can gain insights into trends, potential entry points, and ranging conditions in the market.
---------HOW TO TRADE-----------
LONGS AND SHORTS
An example on how to use this in a long trade is to wait for your moving averages to be high (yellow) over low (orange). For the purpose of the description in this indicator you're looking for the honey to be over the chai.
Even if the RSI and Japanese candles in the oscillator are falling, however the honey is above the Chai, you are still in an uptrend.
The positioning of the moving averages will always determine the direction of the overall price trend so in this position you're looking for long entries.
take a long position as an entry when the open and the close of the Japanese candle in the oscillator is above your honey line.
when you notice a bearish candle closing below the honey line in an uptrend position you can exit your trade.
Confluence for short trades would be just the opposite and using the moving averages in an upside down pattern. In other words the honey needs to be below the chai and your Japanese candle needs to be closing bearish however they open and the close of that candle needs to be below both of your moving averages. exit when you get a bullish candle closing in between the averages.
TRADING RANGES
Wait for your moving average to enter into the range bound 60/40 area as well as your Japanese candles to Wick above and below this area but not close above and below the area.
At this point you can mark off the high and the low of the range as it pertains to your price chart and start using your range trading strategy.
REVE MarkersREVE stands for ‘Range Extensions Volume Expansions’. It seeks to report the same as the REVE which I published before. However the code uses a different algorithm to find the ‘usual range’ or ‘usual volume’ to which the current range and volume is compared. In the old REVE a function is coded which mimics a median() function..
In this code the median() function provided in pinescript is used, which makes the code of the actual algorithm nice and short in lines 21 through 27
For example line 23: “morevol=ta.median(curvol , usual)*eventnorm” in which
‘morevol ‘ is the calculated level above which the volume is deemed considerable,
‘curvol’ is the current volume (see line 21); curvol the volume of the previous period.
‘usual’ is the lookback period (see line 8)
‘ta.median(curvol , usual)’ is therfore the median volume in the lookback period
‘eventnorm’ is the percent which sets when “normal” becomes “considerable” (see line 6)
In line 26 the same is done for range.
The code in lines 30 to 92, concern logic manipulations to arrive at choosing the appropriate marker, which are plotted in lines 95 through 136.
Using the shapes as provided by Pinescript offers the possibility to give a much better and more meaningful visualization of volume and range events than different colored columns and histograms in the ‘old’ REVE in the below panel (see example chart).
Using the Pinescript function to find the median opens the possibility of letting the user play in the inputs with the lookback period and the norms for considerable and excessive to find a setting he or she likes most.
Using median in stead of average is necessary in volume and range analysis because these are so volatile. E.g. range or volume can be 10 times larger in the next period! If you have a few excessive volumes or ranges in the lookback period the ‘average volume or range’ is much higher than the ‘usual volume or range’ In statistics this is referred to as the outlier problem.
The markers are located on the bottom of the instrument pane. Those indicating volume events (with ‘event’ I mean a considerable or excessive expansion or extension) are colored triangles or squares, triangles indicate direction, squares that the price stays the same. those indicating range events with ‘normal’ volume are crosses, plus-cross means considerable range event and x-cross is excessive event.
The red, fuchsia and maroon triangles and squares indicate a combination of volume and range events. I call this ‘effective volume’ because more trade leads to shifting prices. The green and blue triangles and squares indicate a volume event with ‘normal’ ranges. I call this ‘ineffective volume’ because more volume does not lead to price shits. Effective volume can be attributed to occasional traders, because these do not care much for the price effect of their orders. The ineffective volume is attributable to institutional traders, because these go to great length to hide the size of their selling or buying objective by trading many small amounts in a day. Therefore one can theorize that ‘smart money’ is active when green and blue markers show up.
There is an option in the inputs to show markers around the candles (or bars). Those above indicate volume events, plus-cross for considerable and x-cross for excessive volume.
Those below the candles (or bars) indicate range events, triangles for direction or a plus-cross when the price stays the same. The small ones indicate considerable range events and the big ones excessive range events. This option can be used for better understanding of the colors of the bottom markers or to check which marker applies to which candle or bar.
If the instrument is without volume, the indicator will show only range markers.
Have fun and take care.
Navigator Range Pro+Title Navigator Range Pro+
What it is Navigator Range Pro+ is a confluence-first indicator that blends multi-timeframe (MTF) trend bias with a Dealing Range (DR) framework. It helps you quickly see when higher timeframes align and pairs that bias with clean breakout triggers from a current range. Designed to reduce noise and keep charts readable.
What you’ll see
Dealing Range: Auto-detected range top/bottom with a midline. Choose Stuck (pivot-based, fixed) or Dynamic (rolling highest/lowest) modes.
MTF Bias: Higher timeframe trend bias derived from a selectable moving average (SMA/EMA).
Compact Info Panel (table): A configurable on-chart panel that summarizes each higher timeframe’s bias, optional lower-timeframe analog labels, and a confluence tally. You can position it, resize text, and set columns/rows to fit your layout.
Clean Charting: Flip labels are optional and default to off, so alerts can fire without covering price action.
How it works
Bias engine: Computes bullish/bearish bias for each selected higher timeframe using your chosen MA length/type, then aggregates them into a confluence count.
DR engine: Finds or follows the current trading range and calculates a midline reference for signals or context.
Signals: You can use pure confluence, pure DR breakouts, or a combined “Bias + DR” confirmation for higher-quality entries.
Inputs to know
HTF Ranges (comma separated): Higher timeframes to assess (e.g., W,D,240,60,15).
MA Length/Type: Controls the bias engine’s sensitivity.
DR Mode: Stuck (pivot-based, fixed until a new pivot confirms) or Dynamic (rolling high/low by lookback).
Swing Length / Dynamic Lookback / Extend Right: Shape how the range is found and displayed.
Panel Position / Text Size / Panel Columns / Panel Rows: Customize the on-chart table.
Alerts: Min HTFs to align and Strict alignment (no opposite) to refine confluence.
Show Flip Labels on Chart: Optional visual flip labels; alerts are unaffected if kept off.
Alert conditions
Multi-TF Confluence Bullish: Minimum number of HTFs are bullish (optionally strict).
Multi-TF Confluence Bearish: Minimum number of HTFs are bearish (optionally strict).
DR Breakout Up: Close crosses above DR top.
DR Breakout Down: Close crosses below DR bottom.
Bias + DR Combo Bullish: Bullish confluence and price above your DR threshold (Midline or Top/Bottom).
Bias + DR Combo Bearish: Bearish confluence and price below your DR threshold (Midline or Top/Bottom).
Tips
For live trading, “Once per bar close” alerts are the safest and most consistent.
Increase the Min HTFs to align to reduce noise; switch Combo Threshold to Top/Bottom for fewer, stronger momentum entries.
Keep flip labels off to maintain a clean chart (alerts still fire).

PD RTH Range+ [JJumbo]Introduction:
The PD RTH Range+ indicator is a powerful tool designed to visualize and track previous day and previous day's Regular Trading Hours (RTH) ranges for futures markets. This indicator identifies and plots automatically key price levels established during standard US trading hours (9:30 AM - 4:15 PM ET "RTH") and Globex hours, helping traders identify important key levels and fair value zones.
Just like my other time based range indicator "SDRange+" it works around the same idea but with a different context and different ranges in use, range deviations are still a big part in this framework.
Key features:
Range functions and plot modes:
This tool is equipped with two modes "RTH" range and "Previous day" range, which help you visualize previous day's points of interest and swing high and low essentially helping you framing the current day's daily candle in relation to previous day ranges both RTH and previous day.
Projections feature:
The projection feature in the tool also has two plot modes "Fixed" and "Custom", the Fixed mode projections make use of the rule of thirds (just like the SDRange+) but with two areas 0.33-0.66 and 1.33-1.66, here is where most deviations happen and price exhausts above/below the range.
These are your actionable areas to expect price lose momentum and retrace back into the range.
Dynamic Premium&Discount visualization:
This feature will allow you to identify fair value and equilibrium at current price dynamically updating until out projections or levels have been met and and swing high/low has formed, helping you identify the equilibrium of the market at the current state and where premium or discounted prices are.
Automatic First presentation Fair Value Gap:
A concept idea originated from The Inner Circle Trader (ICT), the feature in the indicator will automatically plot the first presented fair value gap (first FVG present of Regular trading hours) dynamically changing time-frame as well, showing the first presented FVG in any time frame you are visualizing.
This can be used as you area of action as well or targets (during RTH hours).
ETH (Eletronic Trading Hours) candles transparency:
This feature is important for define ETH and RTH hours, removing the color out of the the ETH hours candles helping visualize better the RTH hours, which is where you want base your trading day on.
Customizable inputs:
Fully customizable aesthetics in the input menu
How can traders use this framework and tool effectively in their trading:
Trading range sequences:
This framework is based on IF-THEN statements sequences, it will generate your daily bias by following the sequences.
Sequences: EQ > high/low, high/low > EQ,EQ > fixed projections, fixed projections >EQ.
When following these sequences, you will easily find you daily direction, which are also data-backed by statistics (you can see about it in my X profile, you will find the link in my Trading View profile)
Trading retracements/reversals:
Retracements are often taken from the projections areas until Equilibrium of the dynamic premium and discount feature in the indicator, often participating in the moves to fair value from the deviation of the range.
Reversals are often taken from the projections areas until opposing levels of the range (EQ or high/low)

Weighted Moving Range with Trend Signals (WMR-TS)Weighted Moving Range with Trend Signals (WMR-TS)
Technical analysis involves analyzing statistical trends from trading activity , such as price movement and volume, to make trading decisions. Technical indicators are mathematical calculations based on the price, volume, or open interest of a security or contract. They are used by traders to analyze price movements and predict future market behavior. The WMR-TS indicator combines weighted moving averages and range calculations to identify key trading levels and generate buy/sell signals. It dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders insights into potential support, resistance, and trend reversal points. Key levels are color-coded for quick interpretation. It utilizes weighted moving averages (WMA) and range calculations to determine these levels, making it a robust tool for both trending and ranging markets.
SUMMARY
Parameters :
WMA Length : Determines the length for the primary weighted moving average.
Highest High Length : Sets the period for calculating the highest high.
Lowest Low Length : Sets the period for calculating the lowest low.
Range Corrector : Adjusts the range calculation slightly for fine-tuning.
Top Level : Multiplier for determining the top level from the calculated range.
Bottom Level : Multiplier for determining the bottom level from the calculated range.
Levels Visibility : Sets how many recent bars will display the levels.
Trading Zones :
Short Area : Highlighted zone indicating potential shorting opportunities.
Long Area : Highlighted zone indicating potential buying opportunities.
The Levels :
Wave (Yellow): Midpoint of the calculated range, adjusted by WMA.
Top Level (Red): Calculated upper boundary of the trading range.
Sell Level (Pink): Intermediate sell level.
Resistance Level (Magenta): Immediate resistance level.
Support Level (Cyan): Immediate support level.
Buy Level (Light Green): Intermediate buy level.
Bottom Level (Dark Green): Calculated lower boundary of the trading range.
Interpreting the Signals :
Hammer Signal : Red circles above bars indicate potential sell signals.
Rocket Signal : Green circles below bars indicate potential buy signals.
KEY CONCEPTS
Highest High and Lowest Low :
These values represent the highest high ( HH ) and lowest low ( LL ) over a specified number of periods.
Support Level :
This is the lower boundary of the trading range. It is a price level where demand is strong enough to prevent the price from falling further. As the price approaches the support level, it is likely to bounce back up.
Resistance Level :
This is the upper boundary of the trading range. It is a price level where supply is strong enough to prevent the price from rising further. As the price approaches the resistance level, it is likely to pull back down.
THE USE OF MULTIPLIERS :
The script uses several multipliers to adjust and fine-tune the calculated support and resistance levels, as well as to control the range and sensitivity of these levels. Here is a detailed explanation of these multipliers and their purpose:
Range Corrector : This multiplier adjusts the calculated high ( H ) and low ( L ) levels, adding flexibility to how these levels are positioned relative to the highest high and lowest low. It ranges from -1 to 1 , with a default value of 0 . The use of positive values increase the range, making the calculated levels further apart. Thus, using negative values decrease the range, bringing the calculated levels closer together.
Top Level : This multiplier adjusts the distance of the top level from the calculated high H ) level. It fluctuates from 0 to 2 , with a default value of 0.382 . Higher values will push the top level further above the high level, while lower values will bring it closer.
Bottom Level : This multiplier adjusts the distance of the bottom support level from the calculated low support level. Ranging from 0 to 2, with a default value of 0.214, the higher values will push the bottom level further below the low level, while lower values will bring it closer.
The script plots the support and resistance levels on the chart, allowing traders to visualize the trading range. Color-coded zones are used to indicate areas where buying or selling opportunities may arise based on the current price relative to the trading range. A trading range refers to the area between a price's support and resistance levels over a specific period of time. Within this range, the price of the security fluctuates up and down but does not break out above the resistance or below the support. Support and resistance levels to make trading decisions. Buying near the support level and selling near the resistance level is a common strategy. When the price moves above the resistance level, it is called a breakout . A breakout often indicates that the price may start a new upward trend . Conversely, when the price moves below the support level, it is called a breakdown . A breakdown often indicates that the price may start a new downward trend . By understanding and utilizing trading ranges, traders can make more informed decisions, optimize their trading strategies, and manage risk more effectively.
Understanding Moving Averages
A moving average (MA) is a widely used technical indicator that helps smooth out price data by creating a constantly updated average price. The main purpose of using a moving average is to identify the direction of the trend and to reduce the "noise" of random price fluctuations. The Weighted Moving Average ( WMA ) assigns different weights to each period, with more recent periods typically given more weight. A 10-day WMA might give the most recent day a weight of 10, the second most recent day a weight of 9, and so on. It is useful for traders who want to emphasize recent price data more than older data. When the price is above the moving average, it suggests an Bullish trend . A Bearish Trend is expected to take place when the price is below the moving average. Understanding the price reactions around these levels can be used to make trading decisions.
APPLYING CONCEPTS
Support and Resistance Calculations in the Script :
The script calculates dynamic support and resistance levels using weighted moving averages ( WMA s) and the highest high and lowest low over specified periods. Buy ( Rocket ) and sell ( Hammer ) signals are generated based on the crossing of the price with calculated top and bottom levels.These signals help traders identify potential entry and exit points within the trading range .
Weighted Moving Average (WMA) Application in the Script
This script calculates a special trendWMA using the close price that helps in creating a more dynamic moving average that considers both high and low price actions. This modified WMA is used in conjunction with highest high and lowest low values over specified periods to calculate dynamic support and resistance levels.
Explanation of the Levels in the Script
By understanding these levels, traders can make more informed decisions about where to enter and exit trades, manage risk, and anticipate potential market movements. The script incorporates several key levels levels that traders can use to better anticipate price movements and make more informed trading decisions. Leveraging the principles of Fibonacci retracement ratios ( 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100% ) to identify key support and resistance zones can also serve for gauging the overall market sentiment.
Top Level and Sell Leve l: Used to identify potential resistance zones where the price may reverse or pause.
Support Level and Buy Level : Used to identify potential support zones where the price may bounce.
Upper and Lower Pivot Values : Serve as intermediate levels for possible price retracements or extensions within the trading range.
Wave Level : Indicates the central trend direction, which can be useful for gauging the overall market sentiment.
Alerts are a crucial part of the script as they notify traders of potential buy and sell signals based on predefined conditions. There are two main alerts: one for a " Hammer " signal (sell condition) and one for a " Rocket " signal (buy condition).
Adjust the input parameters to fit your trading style and the specific asset being analyzed. Shorter lengths may be more responsive to price changes but can produce more false signals , while longer lengths provide smoother signals but may lag . Always backtest the indicator on historical data to understand its behavior and performance. Also remember that different markets may require different parameter settings for optimal performance.
Keep in mind that by nature like all moving averages, WMAs lag behind price action. This means that signals may be delayed. The indicator performs differently in various market conditions. Always consider the overall market context when interpreting signals.
Adjusting parameters like the range corrector and visibility can help tailor the indicator to specific market conditions or trading strategies, improving its effectiveness. The script uses the calculated levels to plot lines and fill zones on the chart, helping traders visualize potential support, resistance, and trend reversal points. The use of multipliers allows for dynamic adjustment of these levels, making the indicator flexible and adaptable to different market conditions.
I think traders can make more informed decisions about where to enter and exit trades, manage risk, and anticipate potential market movements following this code. Stay safe and always remember that market is always changing. Use this tool if you want, please stay informed and plan safe trades,

TrendCylinder (Expo)█ Overview
The TrendCylinder is a dynamic trading indicator designed to capture trends and volatility in an asset's price. It provides a visualization of the current trend direction and upper and lower bands that adapt to volatility changes. By using this indicator, traders can identify potential breakouts or support and resistance levels. While also gauging the volatility to generate trading ranges. The indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders navigating various market conditions by providing a sophisticated blend of trend-following and volatility-based metrics.
█ How It Works
Trend Line: The trend line is constructed using the closing prices with the influence of volatility metrics. The trend line reacts to sudden price changes based on the trend factor and step settings.
Upper & Lower Bands: These bands are not static; they are dynamically adjusted with the calculated standard deviation and Average True Range (ATR) metrics to offer a more flexible, real-world representation of potential price movements, offering an idea of the market's likely trading range.
█ How to Use
Identifying Trends
The trend line can be used to identify the current market trend. If the price is above the trend line, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if the price is below the trend line, it indicates a bearish trend.
Dynamic Support and Resistance
The upper and lower bands (including the trend line) dynamically change with market volatility, acting as moving targets of support and resistance. This helps set up stop-loss or take-profit levels with a higher degree of accuracy.
Breakout vs. Reversion Strategies
Price movements beyond the bands could signify strong trends, making it ideal for breakout strategies.
Fakeouts
If the price touches one of the bands and reverses direction, it could be a fakeout. Traders may choose to trade against the breakout in such scenarios.
█ Settings
Volatility Period: Defines the look-back period for calculating volatility. Higher values adapt the bands more slowly, whereas lower values adapt them more quickly.
Trend Factor: Adjusts the sensitivity of the trend line. Higher values produce a smoother line, while lower values make it more reactive to price changes.
Trend Step: Controls the pace at which the trend line adjusts to sudden price movements. Higher values lead to a slower adjustment and a smoother line, while lower values result in quicker adjustments.

PM Range Breaker [CHE] PM Range Breaker — Premarket bias with first-five range breaks, optional SWDEMA regime latch, and simple two-times-range targets
Summary
This indicator sets a once-per-day directional bias during New York premarket and then tracks a strict first-five-minutes range from the session open. After the first five complete, it marks clean breakouts and can project targets at two times the measured range. A second mode latches an EMA-based regime to inform the bias and optional background tinting. A compact panel reports live state, first-five levels, and rolling hit rates of both bias modes using a user-defined midday close for statistics.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often get whipsawed by early noise or by fast flips in trend filters. This script commits to a bias at a single premarket minute and then waits for the market to present an objective structure: the first-five range. Breaks after that window are clearer and easier to manage. The alternative SWDEMA regime gives a slower, latched context for users who prefer a trend scaffold rather than a midpoint reference.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical open-range-breakout lines or a single moving-average filter without daily commitment.
Architecture differences:
Bias decision at a fixed New York time using either a midpoint lookback (“Classic”) or a two-EMA regime latch (“SWDEMA”).
Strict five-minute window from session open; breakout shapes print only after that window.
Single-shot breakout direction per session (debounce) and optional two-times-range targets.
On-chart panel with hit rates using a configurable midday close for statistics.
Practical effect: Cleaner visuals, fewer repeated signals, and a traceable daily decision that can be evaluated over time.
How it works (technical)
Time handling uses New York session times for premarket decision, open, first-five end, and a midday statistics checkpoint.
Classic bias: A midpoint is computed from the highest and lowest over a user period; at the premarket minute, the bias is set long when the close is above the midpoint, short otherwise.
SWDEMA bias: Two EMAs define a regime score that requires price and trend agreement; when both agree on a confirmed bar, the regime latches. At the premarket minute, the daily bias is set from the current regime.
The first-five range captures high and low from open until the end minute, then freezes. Breakouts are detected after that window using close-based cross logic.
The script draws range lines and optional targets at two times the frozen range. A session break direction latch prevents duplicate break markers.
Statistics compare daily open and a configurable midday close to record if the chosen bias aligned with the move.
Optional elements include EMA lines, midpoint line, latched-regime background, and regime switch markers.
Data aggregation for day logic and the first-five window is sampled on one-minute data with explicit lookahead off. On charts above one minute, values update intra-bar until the underlying minute closes.

SWDEMA Lengths (Blue/Red) — Periods for the two EMAs — Defaults: 144 and 312 — Longer values reduce flips.
Sources (Blue/Red) — Price sources — Defaults: Close and HLC3 — Adjust if you prefer consistency.
Offsets (Blue/Red) — Pixel offsets for EMA plots — Defaults: zero — Use only for visual shift.
Show Latched Regime Background — Background by SWDEMA regime — Default: Off — Separate from session bias.
Latched Background Transparency — Opacity of regime background — Default: eighty-eight — Lower value for stronger tint.
Show Latch Switch Markers — Plot regime change markers — Default: Off — For auditing regime changes.
Bias Mode — Classic midpoint or SWDEMA latch — Default: Classic — Choose per your style.
Background Mode — Session bias or SWDEMA regime — Default: Session — Decide which background narrative you want.
Reading & Interpretation
Panel: Shows the active bias, first-five high and low, and a state that reads Building during the window, Ready once frozen, and Break arrows when a breakout occurs. Hit rates show the percentage of days where each bias mode aligned with the midday move.
Colors and shapes: Green background implies long bias; red implies short bias. Triangle markers denote the first valid breakout after the first-five window. Optional regime markers flag regime changes.
Lines: First-five high and low form the core structure. Optional targets mark a level at two times the frozen range from the breakout side.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Choose a bias mode. Wait for the first clean breakout after the first-five window in the direction of the bias. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows.
Exits and risk: Conservative users can trail behind the opposite side of the first-five range. Aggressive users can scale near the two-times-range target.
Multi-asset and multi-TF: Works well on intraday timeframes from one minute upward. For non-US sessions, adjust the time inputs to the instrument’s regular trading hours.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Bias and regime decisions use confirmed bars. Breakout signals evaluate on bar close at the chart timeframe. On higher timeframes, minute-based sources update within the live bar until the minute closes.
security and HTF: The script samples one-minute data. Lookahead is off. Values stabilize once the source minute closes.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is five thousand. Drawing objects and the panel update efficiently, with position extensions handled on the last bar.
Known limits: Midday statistics use the configured time, not the official daily close. Session logic assumes New York session timing. Targets are simple multiples of the first-five range and do not adapt to volatility beyond that structure.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with Classic bias, midpoint lookback at three hundred, and all visuals on.
Too many flips in context → switch to SWDEMA mode or increase EMA lengths.
Breakouts feel noisy → extend the first-five end by a minute or two, or wait for a retest by your own rules.
Too sluggish → reduce midpoint lookback or shorten EMA lengths.
Chart cluttered → hide EMA or midpoint lines and keep only range levels and breakout shapes.

Wyckoff Smart Money Pro [MTF]Wyckoff Smart Money Pro detects trading ranges, phases, and events from the Wyckoff method and confirms them with VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), divergence checks, and a composite “smart money” strength index. It generates optional buy/sell signals only when multiple conditions align (phase, VSA, CO strength, effort vs. result, time/volume filters). The dashboard, POC/Value Area, and MTF backdrop help you manage context and risk in real time.
What this indicator does
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro is a multi-timeframe Wyckoff tool that:
⦁ Finds accumulation/distribution ranges and tracks Phases A–E.
⦁ Labels Wyckoff events (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring/Test, SOS, LPS, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS…) and VSA patterns (No Demand/Supply, Stopping Volume, Upthrust, etc.).
⦁ Computes a Composite Operator (CO) Strength score from price/volume behavior to approximate “smart money” bias.
⦁ Adds divergence, effort vs. result, and a volume profile (POC & 70% value area) inside the detected range.
⦁ Provides buy/sell signals only when a configurable confluence is present (events + VSA + CO + EVR + phase + filters).
⦁ Supports MTF context (with a safe HTF resolver and fallbacks) and an Info Dashboard to summarize the current state.
It is designed to make the Wyckoff workflow visual and rules-based without promising results or automating decisions.
How it works (methods & calculations)
1) Range & Phase model
⦁ A sliding lookback searches for a valid range (recent highest high/lowest low), requiring width within 2–10× ATR(14) and a minimum bar count inside the bounds.
⦁ Once a range is active, the script derives Creek/Ice/Mid/Quartiles and classifies bars into Wyckoff Phases A–E using event recency (barssince) and where price sits relative to the range.
⦁ The background color reflects the current Phase; optional MTF events (from the chosen HTF) tint the background lightly for higher-timeframe context.
2) Wyckoff & VSA event engine
⦁ Events include PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS, PSY, BC, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS, plus minor/multiple variants and Creek/Ice jumps.
⦁ VSA patterns detect No Demand/No Supply, Stopping Volume, Buying/Selling Climax, Upthrust/Pseudo Upthrust, Bag Holding, Shake-Out, Volume Dry-Up, etc., from spread vs. average spread and volume vs. average volume with tunable thresholds.
3) Smart-money (CO) Strength
⦁ CO Strength (0–100) blends: relative volume on up/down bars, professional accumulation/distribution, no-supply/no-demand, stopping volume, Springs/UTADs and Tests, SOS/SOW, price’s position inside the range, and volume-delta vs. its MA.
⦁ Persistent accumCount / distCount counters smooth temporary noise.
4) Divergence & Effort-vs-Result
⦁ Price vs. cum volume-delta divergence highlights weakening pushes.
⦁ EVR flags “High effort / no result” and potential Bullish/Bearish reversals, or “Low effort / high result” moves that are often unsustainable.
5) Volume Profile (inside range)
⦁ A 50-bin profile accumulates volume across the detected range to derive POC, VAH/VAL (70% value area). Lines update as the active range evolves.
6) Multi-Timeframe (MTF) safety
⦁ getHTF() converts your multiplier to a valid Pine timeframe string (e.g., 60, 240, 2D, 1W), and the script falls back to current timeframe values if an HTF request returns na.
⦁ If you enter a Custom HTF, it must be strictly higher than the chart’s timeframe (validated at runtime).
7) Signals & risk model
⦁ Signals are not tied to any single pattern. A buy may require Spring/Test/Shake-out/Creek Jump or SOS plus confirmation (VSA, CO>60, Phase C/D, divergence/EVR context).
⦁ Sell is symmetrical (UTAD/Failed Spring/SOW/Ice Jump + VSA + CO<40 + Phase C/D).
⦁ Minimum confidence is configurable; SL/TP and R:R lines are drawn from range edges or recent bar extremes.
⦁ Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and a minimum volume threshold (relative to average) are available to suppress low-quality contexts.
⦁ Alerts include all major events, divergences, structure/phase changes, and the gated Buy/Sell signals (with a cooldown to reduce alert spam).
Inputs (key ones you’ll actually use)
⦁ Display Settings: toggle ranges, phases, events, VSA, signals, dashboard.
⦁ MTF: Enable HTF, set Multiplier or a Custom HTF (must be higher than current).
⦁ Range Detection: period / min bars / pivot strength.
⦁ VSA: volume sensitivity & climax multiplier.
⦁ Signal Settings: minimum confidence, risk/reward labels.
⦁ Advanced Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and Min Volume Filter (× avg).
⦁ Colors: phase backgrounds, structure colors, and line styling.
How to use (practical flow)
1. Choose a symbol & timeframe you normally analyze (e.g., 5–60m for entries, 4H/D for context).
2. If using MTF, pick a multiplier (e.g., 5×) or a Custom HTF (e.g., 240/4H).
3. Wait for a range to form; watch Phase and CO Strength on the Dashboard.
4. When events (e.g., Spring/Test in Phase C or UTAD in distribution) appear with favorable VSA, CO, EVR, and volume/time filters, consider the signal and review R:R lines.
5. Use POC/VA and Creek/Ice/Mid as structure references; manage risk around the range edge that generated the setup.

Notes, limits & best practices
⦁ This is not a buy/sell system; it’s a context & confirmation tool. Combine with your plan, risk limits, and execution criteria.
⦁ Long, illiquid, or news-driven bars can distort volume/spread logic; filters help but cannot eliminate this.
⦁ For MTF, if an exchange doesn’t support a specific HTF, the script falls back safely to current TF values to avoid na-propagation.
⦁ Dashboard rows/size/position are user-configurable to keep charts uncluttered.
Changelog (what’s new in this version)
⦁ MTF safety & validation (Custom HTF must be above current; graceful fallbacks for request.security() na results).
⦁ Performance caching for close position & up/down bar flags; drawing cleanup to stay under label/line limits.
⦁ Volume Profile upgraded to 50 bins; VA algorithm adjusted accordingly.
⦁ Signal gating with time/day/volume filters and alert cooldown to reduce noise.
⦁ Bug guards for parameter conflicts (e.g., rangeMinBars cannot exceed rangePeriod).

Weekly Range ProjectionsWeekly Range Projections
Inspired by toodegrees' excellent "ICT Friday's Asian Range" indicator
This indicator is a modified and enhanced version of the original Friday's Asian Range indicator created by toodegrees. While studying their brilliant work, I realized the concept could be expanded beyond just Friday's Asian session to create a more versatile tool for weekly price projections.
What's New?
I've transformed the original concept into a fully customizable range projection tool that allows traders to:
Select Any Day of the Week - Not limited to just Fridays anymore
Define Custom Time Ranges - Set your own start and end times to capture any session (Asian, London, New York, or custom ranges)
Flexible Deviation Levels - Choose between 1-9 standard deviations instead of the fixed 5
Toggle Body/Wick Ranges - Show or hide body and wick projections independently
Updated to Pine Script v6 - Taking advantage of the latest Pine Script features
How It Works
The indicator captures the price range (body and/or wick) during your specified time window on your chosen day, then projects standard deviation levels from that range. These levels often act as significant support/resistance throughout the week.
Use Cases
Weekly Opening Range - Capture Monday's opening range for week-long projections
Session-Based Analysis - Define any session on any day for targeted analysis
Multi-Timeframe Projections - Create different instances for various time ranges
ICT Concepts - Perfect for traders following ICT methodologies with customizable ranges
Credits
Huge thanks to toodegrees for creating the original Friday's Asian Range indicator and sharing it with the community. Their clean code structure and innovative approach to range projections inspired this modification. The core logic and visual presentation style remain true to their original vision, with added flexibility for broader applications.
If you find this useful, please also check out toodegrees' original indicators - they create fantastic tools for the TradingView community!
Settings Guide
Range Settings - Choose your day and define start/end times
Range Type - Toggle body and/or wick ranges
Deviations - Select how many standard deviation levels to display
Styling - Customize colors and line styles for both range types
Alerts - Set up alerts for price crossing specific deviation levels
Remember to use this on 5-minute or 15-minute charts as intended by the original design.

Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.
Time zone: Use "America/New York" for EST (default) or change to "GMT+0" for international traders.
🔹 Breakout Settings
Bullish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts above the range.
Bearish Breakout Signals: Number of allowed breakout alerts below the range.
This prevents repeated alerts once breakout has been confirmed.
🔹 Display Settings
Show Background Fill: Fills area between high/low of the range for easier visual analysis.
Show Breakout Signals: Triangle markers plotted on the chart when breakouts happen.
Only Show Today’s Range: Keeps the chart clean by showing only the most current day’s range.
🔹 Color Settings
Range High/Low Line Colors: Choose any color for clarity.
Range Fill Color: Customize the highlight area for your chart style.
📊 Chart Features
Range High/Low Lines: Automatically plotted after range session ends.
Visual Fill Box: Optional background shading between the opening range.
Triangle Breakout Markers: Appear at the breakout candle.
Alerts: Can be used with TradingView’s alert system to notify you of breakouts in real-time.
🔔 Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks above the high of the range.
Bearish Breakout: Triggers when price breaks below the low of the range.
Example Alert Message:
📈 “Bullish Breakout above Open Range on AAPL!”
To activate:
Click “🔔 Alerts” on TradingView.
Set condition to this script.
Choose “ORB Breakout Up” or “ORB Breakout Down”.
Choose alert frequency and notification method.

Key Intraday Range Analysis - K.I.R.A. The KIRA Indicator is a unique tool designed to provide traders with actionable insights by identifying and analyzing key intraday price ranges. Built upon a specialized methodology, it uses Fibonacci-derived levels anchored to significant opening ranges to generate trading levels for the day. Unlike other indicators that focus on broader trend analysis, KIRA’s approach provides precision, simplicity, and adaptability for intraday traders.
How It Works
KIRA takes the first 30-second range of the European market open and calculates Fibonacci projections derived solely from the golden ratio. These projections form potential areas of interest, such as support and resistance levels, that guide traders in their decision-making process.
By visualizing these levels directly on the chart, KIRA simplifies intraday trading, helping traders identify key reaction zones with high clarity.
Key Features:
-Clean and Readable Output: Generates easily identifiable levels directly on a clear chart to reduce visual clutter.
-Dynamic and Adaptive: Works across various assets, including indices, forex, and commodities, while maintaining reliability on lower timeframes.
How to Use
1. Set Up: Ensure your chart timeframe is aligned with intraday trading, ideally 1-minute or 5-minute intervals.
2. Monitor Levels: Observe how price reacts to the projected levels generated from the opening range.
3. Strategize: Use these levels as potential entries, exits, or areas to tighten risk management, depending on price action.
Unlike conventional indicators that reuse public domain methodologies or classic technical analysis tools, KIRA is based on a nuanced approach to anchoring Fibonacci projections. Its uniqueness lies in its precise application of golden ratio derivatives, specifically tailored to intraday price movements.
The chart accompanying this script provides a clean visualization of the KIRA levels applied to a 1-minute chart of . All outputs are directly from the KIRA script to ensure clarity and ease of use.
FxCanli RangeFxCanli Range is an indicator based on ICT Internal Range and External Range concept.
What is ICT Internal Range Liquidity?
The Fair Value Gap is marked as the ICT internal range liquidity.
ICT Fair Value Gap is marked as the liquidity because it is a formation of three candles leaving an area between high and low of 1st and 3rd candle where price do not overlap.
FxCanli Range Indicator draws all Internal Ranges above explaining the ICT internal range liquidity.
What is Imbalance (FVG)?
Fair Value Gaps are price jumps caused by imbalanced buying and selling pressures.
A bullish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle.
A bearish Fair Value Gap is created when there is a gap between the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle.
What is ICT External Range Liquidity?
The swing high and swing low of an ICT dealing range are termed as external range.
The high of an ICT dealing range is termed as “buy side liquidity” assuming the buy stops rest above the high of dealing range.
While the low of an ICT dealing range is known as “sell side liquidity” assuming the sell stops resting below the low of dealing range.
FxCanli Range Indicator draws all External Ranges above explaining the ICT external range liquidity
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
As ICT said us, Price moves 2 side, Internal Liquidity or External Liquidity
External Range Liquidity to Internal Range Liquidity
When price reached to External Range, it will sweep the External Range Liquidity
at that time, we have to wait price to reverse and start to move to Internal range liquidity (FVG)
our strategy has to be like this; we have to open 2 time less lower time frame
if we are at 1 hour chart, we have to open 1Hour - 15 min - 5 min chart
and wait for Trend Reversal pattern at there
Internal Range Liquidity to External Range Liquidity
When price reached to Internal Range(FVG), it will fill the imbalance
at that time, we have to wait price to reverse and start to move to External Range Liquidity.
Again we have to decrease our time frame 2 times.
if we are at 1 hour chart, we have to open 1Hour -> 15 min -> 5 min chart
and wait for Trend Reversal pattern at there

RTH/ETH Session RangesSimple script that adds a table to the bottom left of the chart - shows the high and low of the Full Session with range, and shows the high and low of the RTH/USA session with same calculations.
This simple script enhances your charting experience by adding a comprehensive table to the bottom left corner of your trading chart. The table is designed to provide key market data at a glance, specifically focusing on the high and low metrics for different trading sessions. Here's a breakdown of what the script offers:
Features of the Script
Full Session Data:
High: The highest price point reached during the entire trading session.
Low: The lowest price point reached during the entire trading session.
Range: The difference between the high and low prices, providing insight into the session's volatility.
RTH/USA Session Data (Regular Trading Hours):
High: The highest price point reached during the RTH, typically reflecting the most active part of the trading day.
Low: The lowest price point reached during the RTH.
Range: The difference between the high and low prices during the RTH, indicating the session's intraday volatility.
How to Use the Script for Trading
Identify Key Levels:
Use the high and low points to identify significant support and resistance levels. These levels can guide your entry and exit points, helping you make informed trading decisions.
Gauge Market Volatility:
The range values for both the Full Session and RTH provide a quick snapshot of market volatility. Higher ranges suggest more significant price movements, which can inform your risk management strategies and position sizing.
Compare Sessions:
By comparing the Full Session data with the RTH data, you can identify differences in price behavior between the broader market hours and the more active trading periods. This comparison can help in understanding market dynamics and planning trades accordingly.
Unique Aspects of the Script
Ease of Access: The table's placement in the bottom left corner ensures that it is always visible without obstructing the main chart view, allowing for quick reference without disrupting your analysis.
Comprehensive Insights: By covering both the Full Session and RTH, the script provides a holistic view of the market, catering to traders who focus on different timeframes.
Customization Potential: Although simple, the script can be customized further to include additional metrics or visual tweaks to better suit individual trading strategies.
Practical Example
Imagine you're trading a particular stock and want to decide on a potential breakout strategy. By using this script, you can quickly identify the high of the Full Session as a potential breakout point. If the price approaches this level during the RTH, you can prepare to enter a trade with the confidence that this level has previously acted as a significant resistance. Conversely, knowing the low of the RTH can help you set stop-loss orders to manage risk effectively.
Expected Move BandsExpected Moves
The Expected Move of a security shows the amount that a stock is expected to rise or fall from its current market price based on its level of volatility or implied volatility. The expected move of a stock is usually measured with standard deviations.
An Expected Move Range of 1 SD shows that price will be near the 1 SD range 68% of the time given enough samples.
Expected Move Bands
This indicator gets the Expected Move for 1-4 Standard Deviation Ranges using Historical Volatility. Then it displays it on price as bands.
The Expected Move indicator also allows you to see MTF Expected Moves if you want to.
This indicator calculates the expected price movements by analyzing the historical volatility of an asset. Volatility is the measure of fluctuation.
This script uses log returns for the historical volatility calculation which can be modelled as a normal distribution most of the time meaning it is symmetrical and stationary unlike other scripts that use bands to find "reversals". They are fundamentally incorrect.
What these ranges tell you is basically the odds of the price movement being between these levels.
If you take enough samples, 95.5% of the them will be near the 2nd Standard Deviation. And so on. (The 3rd Standard deviation is 99.7%)
For higher timeframes you might need a smaller sample size.

Volumetric Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Volumetric Toolkit is a complete and comprehensive set of tools that display price action-related analysis methods from volume data.
A total of 4 features are included within the toolkit. Symbols that do not include volume data will not be supported by the script.
🔶 USAGE
The volumetric toolkit puts a heavy focus on price action, returning support/resistance levels, ranges, volume divergences...etc.
The main premise between each feature is that volume has a direct relationship with market participants level of interest over a specific symbol, and that this interest is not constant over time.
Each individual feature is detailed below.
🔹 Ranges Of Interest
The Ranges Of Interest construct a range from a surge of high liquidity in the market. This range is constructed from the price high and price low of the candle with the associated significant liquidity.
The returned extremities can be used as support and resistance, with breakouts often being accompanied by significant liquidity as well, suggesting potential trend continuations.
The length setting associated with this feature determines how sensitive the range detection algorithm is to volume, with higher values requiring more significant volume in order to display a new range.
🔹 Impulses
Impulses highlight times when volume makes a new higher high while the price makes a new higher high or lower low, suggesting increased market participation.
When this occurs when the price makes a new higher high the impulse is considered bullish (green), if the price makes a new lower low the impulse is bearish (red).
Impulses occurring within an established trend opposite to it (e.g a bearish impulse on an uptrend) might be indicative of reversals.
The length setting works similarly to the previously described ranges of interest, with higher values requiring longer-term volume higher high and price higher high/lower low, highlighting more significant impulse and potentially longer-term reversals.
🔹 Levels Of Interest
Levels of interest display price levels of significant trading activity, contrary to the range of interest only the closing price is taken into account, also volume peaks are used to detect significant trading activity.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
Users can determine the amount of most recent levels to display on the chart. These can be used as classical support/resistances.
🔹 Volume Divergence
We define volume divergence as a decreased market participation while a trend is still developing.
More precisely volume divergences are highlighted if volume makes a lower high while price is making a new higher high/lower low.
This can be indicative of a lack of further participation in the current trend, indicating a potential reversal.
Using higher length values will return longer-term divergences.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
