Market Internals Dashboard: Trend, Breadth, Volume PressureOverview
The Market Internals Dashboard Pro is a professional-grade toolkit modeled after what prop firms and institutional desks use to understand real intraday market conditions.
Instead of relying solely on price, this indicator analyzes three critical internal forces:
USI:TICK : Microstructure buying/selling pressure
USI:ADD : Market breadth participation (advancers vs decliners proxy)
USI:VOLD : Volume pressure (buying vs selling volume)
These internals determine whether the market is:
Trending or ranging
Bullish or bearish
Likely to follow through or mean-revert
Favoring continuation trades or fade setups
The script also produces a Market Environment Score (–3 to +3) and a real-time Trade Recommendation Table that updates every bar. This helps answer the single most important question in intraday trading: “What type of trades should I be taking right now given current market conditions?”
1. TICK Proxy: Microstructure Pressure
Measures buying vs. selling aggressiveness across the market This proxy simulates the NYSE TICK index by evaluating whether bars close above or below the prior bar.
Positive TICK → Buyers lifting offers
Negative TICK → Sellers hitting bids
Neutral TICK → No microstructure conviction
Why it matters:
Strong TICK is often the earliest sign of:
Trend initiation
Algorithmic buy/sell programs
Shifts in short‑term sentiment
Weak or choppy TICK often signals:
Range conditions
Failed breakouts
Low‑quality trend attempts
2. ADD Proxy: Market Breadth Strength
Shows how many stocks are participating in a move Because real USI:ADD data isn't available for all users, this script uses a self-contained breadth approximation built from:
Price slope
Volatility expansion
Volume‑weighted directional pressure
Why it matters? Breadth reveals whether the move is:
Broad and healthy → likely to continue
Narrow and weak → vulnerable to reversal
Strong trends require strong breadth. Weak breadth often precedes:
Failed breakouts
Reversal setups
Chop (ewww)
3. VOLD Proxy: Volume Pressure
The most important internal of all. This proxy measures whether trading volume is flowing into up bars or down bars.
Positive VOLD → Net buying pressure
Negative VOLD → Net selling pressure
Why it matters:
VOLD is considered the "truth serum" of the tape:
Strong VOLD drives trend days
Negative VOLD kills long setups
Mixed VOLD creates chop
You should rarely trend trade against VOLD.
4. Market Environment Score (–3 to +3)
The Environment Score combines the three internals into a single view:
|| Score || Interpretation || Market Type ||
| +3 | Strong Bull | Trend Day (Long) |
| +2 | Bull | Pullback Buys / Breakout Continuation |
| +1 | Mild Bull | Conservative Long Scalps |
| 0 | Neutral | CHOP – VWAP Reversions / Fades |
| -1 | Mild Bear | Short Failed Breakouts |
| -2 | Bear | Trend Shorts / Breakdown Continuation |
| -3 | Strong Bear | Trend Day (Short) |
Why it matters:
The market behaves differently depending on internal alignment. This score prevents traders from:
Forcing trend trades on chop days
Chasing breakouts when breadth is weak
Fading strong directional days
It tells you in real time whether conditions favor:
Trend following
Mean reversion
Breakout continuation
Liquidity grabs
Or sitting out
5. Trade Recommendation Engine
Based on the Environment Score, the indicator outputs a real-time playbook recommending which trade types have the highest probability of success right now.
Examples:
Score = 0 (Neutral)
VWAP Reversions
Liquidity Grabs
Failed Breakouts
Quick Scalps
Score = +2/+3 (Strong Bull)
Pullback Buys
Breakout Continuation
Trend Longs
Score = -2/-3 (Strong Bear)
Pullback Shorts
Breakdown Continuation
Trend Shorts Only
This turns the internals into a trade selection engine, not just a data display.
Why Market Internals Matter
Most indicators look only at price, but price is the result, not the cause.
Market internals show:
Where volume is flowing
Whether buying is aggressive or passive
How many stocks are participating
Whether algorithms are supporting or fighting the move
This dashboard helps traders:
Avoid chop
Stay out of low‑quality setups
Time entries with institutional flows
Improve win rate by trading the right setups at the right times

Titan AI: Smart MFI OscillatorTitan AI: Smart MFI Oscillator is not your standard Momentum indicator. It is a next-generation Hybrid Intelligence Engine designed to detect the true state of market liquidity. Unlike traditional oscillators that rely on static levels (like 80/20), Titan AI employs an Unsupervised Learning Algorithm (K-Means Clustering)** to adaptively classify Money Flow in real-time.
This indicator is built for traders who need to filter out noise and see the structural reality of the market. It answers the critical question: "Is the market actually trending with volume, or is it stuck in equilibrium?"
With the integrated "Smart MFI (INFO)" Dashboard, you get a tactical Heads-Up Display (HUD) that stabilizes complex volatility data into clear, institutional signals.
💎 Key Features
1. Adaptive AI Brain (K-Means Clustering):
Standard oscillators fail because they don't adapt to volatility changes. Titan AI solves this by running a clustering algorithm on historical data to define dynamic "Overbought" and "Oversold" zones.
- Result: The indicator "breathes" with the market, providing accurate signals in both low-volatility ranges and high-volatility trends.
2. Institutional Flow Classification:
The core logic doesn't just measure ups and downs; it classifies the **Money Flow Index (MFI)** into three institutional states displayed on the panel:
- 🟢 ACCUMULATION: Strong buying pressure detected (Smart Money Entry).
- 🔴 DISTRIBUTION: Strong selling pressure detected (Smart Money Exit).
- ⚪ EQUILIBRIUM: The market is balanced/ranging. (No Edge).
3. Visual Histogram & Whale Detector:
- Classic Flow: Green/Red bars for buying/selling pressure.
- 🐋 WHALE ACTIVITY (White Bars): The histogram turns WHITE when current volume exceeds 200% of the average**. This visually confirms that big players (Whales) are driving the price movement.
4. "Squeeze" & Extreme Blocks:
- Orange Blocks: These appear when momentum is statistically overextended. In a strong trend, this indicates a **"Turbo Zone"**. In a weak market, it signals imminent exhaustion.
- Peak Circles: Visual markers for potential tops and bottoms based on adaptive band crosses.
5. Smart MFI (INFO) Dashboard (HUD):
A professional panel fixed to your screen that uses Confirmed Data to prevent repainting.
- Trend: Macro direction (EMA 200).
- Momentum (AI): Immediate impulse direction.
- Flow (AI): The exact institutional state + numeric value.
🚀 How to Use
1. Trend Following (The Flow)
- Long Setup: Wait for the Dashboard to show TREND: BULLISH and FLOW: ACCUMULATION. Enter when the histogram is Green or White (Whale Volume).
- Short Setup: Wait for TREND: BEARISH and FLOW: DISTRIBUTION. Enter when the histogram is Red or White.
2. Trading Reversals (The Extremes)
- Exhaustion: If you see Orange Blocks followed by a Circle/Triangle, the move is overextended.
- Execution: Do not fade the move immediately. Wait for the Dashboard's Momentum to flip (e.g., from Bullish to Bearish) to confirm the reversal.
3. Filtering Noise (The Smart Filter)
- If the Dashboard says FLOW: EQUILIBRIUM (Grey), volatility is dead. Stay out of the market or wait for a breakout confirmed by an Accumulation/Distribution signal.
⚙️ Settings
- AI Training Data: Adjusts how much historical data the K-Means algorithm uses (Default: 300).
- Visuals: Toggle the classic Money Flow Histogram, Divergence Lines, or the Dashboard itself.
- Positions: You can move the panel to any corner of the chart.

SMT Divergence - Time & Calendar CyclesSMT Divergence - Time & Calendar Cycles
This indicator is a specialized tool designed to detect SMT divergences across multiple fractal structures.
It is powered by a proprietary Cycle Engine, which utilizes a dual-layer processing system to filter, rank, and render divergences based on strict Time Cycles (e.g., 90-minute rolling windows) and Calendar Cycles (e.g., Daily/Weekly structure).
Specifically engineered for precision analysis, this tool features a proprietary architecture that separates permanent historical data from real-time price action, ensuring both backtesting reliability and live execution speed.
1. Core Concept: Automated SMT Detection
SMT Divergences occur when correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price action at key structural pivots. For example, if the Nasdaq (NQ) makes a higher high while the S&P 500 (ES) fails to do so, this crack in correlation can signal an engineered liquidity grab or an impending reversal.
This indicator automates this analysis by comparing the Main Chart against up to three user-defined "Witness" symbols. It supports Direct Correlation (e.g., NQ vs. ES) and Inverse Correlation (e.g., EURUSD vs. DXY), where the logic automatically inverts to flag Higher Highs vs. Higher Highs as valid divergences. It also features unique "Witness vs. Witness" logic, which cross-verifies the comparison symbols against each other (e.g., Symbol 1 vs. Symbol 2) to find internal market weakness, even if the main chart is currently neutral.
2. How It Works: The Dual-Engine System
To accurately map fractal price action, the indicator splits its logic into two distinct engines which run simultaneously:
2.1 Time Cycles (Intraday Analysis)
Designed for Intraday Macro analysis (targeting specific time windows like 90-minute or 30-minute cycles). These cycles are strictly bound to a user-defined trading session (e.g., 09:30 - 16:00) and repeat continuously (roll over) throughout the entire window until the session ends. At the beginning of every new session, all Time Cycle data is cleared. This ensures that the indicator searches for fresh liquidity voids specific to the current trading day, preventing data pollution from previous days.
2.2 Calendar Cycles (Macro Analysis)
Designed for Higher Timeframe (HTF) structural analysis, monitoring Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly periods. Unlike Time Cycles, Calendar Cycles utilize persistent data arrays that survive session resets. This allows the tool to detect Multi-Day or Multi-Week divergences effectively. It offers smart calculation modes, including "Exchange Session" to prevent ghost lines on Futures charts.
3. The Unified SMT Visualization Architecture
The system's core achievement is the Fractal Time Synthesis , unifying micro (Intraday) and macro (Calendar) analysis by simultaneously projecting divergence signals from Session-Anchored Time Cycles and Continuous Calendar Cycles onto a single chart view. This provides immediate, comprehensive multi-timeframe structural bias verification.
The structural data is clearly delineated into two states: the correct past and the correct live divergences. Divergences from completed cycles are displayed as a definitive record, providing non-repainting historical validation. Concurrently, setups forming currently are tracked dynamically, ensuring real-time responsiveness for analysis across all cycles being monitored.
4. How To Use This Tool
Configuration: Set your Timezone and Session Start/End times in the settings. This ensures the "Time Cycles" align correctly with your specific market.
Select Symbols: Input your comparison symbols (e.g., ES, YM, or inversely DXY). Ensure the "Inverse" toggle is checked for negatively correlated assets.
Cycle Selection: Enable the specific cycles relevant to your strategy (e.g., Daily + 90m Macro).
Render History: Always scroll the chart back to the very beginning of your available price history after loading the indicator or changing timeframes. This ensures the maximum historical data is processed for accurate divergence calculation.
Interpretation - The system flags two conditions: 'Bearish SMT' (Price makes a Higher High, but the correlated asset makes a Lower High) & 'Bullish SMT' (Price makes a Lower Low, but the correlated asset makes a Higher Low)
Confluence: Use the "Live" lines for real-time analysis, and refer to the "Historian" lines to understand the higher timeframe bias.
5. Key Features
5.1 Multi-Symbol & Correlation
Triple-Check Logic: Capable of comparing the Main Chart against Symbol 1, Symbol 2, and Symbol 3 simultaneously.
Cross-Symbol Check: The script can optionally validate Symbol 1 against Symbol 2 (e.g., checking ES vs. YM) and plot the result on your NQ chart, giving you a complete market breadth view.
5.2 Structural Range Validation
The script includes strict validation logic to ensure high-quality data. It automatically verifies that the detected highs and lows are the true extremes of the cycle range. If price action within the cycle breaches the anchor points, the signal is considered structurally invalid and will not be drawn.
This validation process is dynamically controlled by the Lookback Cycles setting. Users define the exact number of preceding historical cycles the current structure must be compared against (e.g., comparing against the last 9 cycles), allowing for customization of the structural depth.
5.3 Professional Drawing & Chart Management
Collision Engine: A proprietary memory map tracks every pixel drawn on the chart. If a lower timeframe cycle tries to draw over a higher timeframe cycle, the engine blocks or suppresses the lower priority signal based on your settings.
Data Integrity: The script automatically validates cycle duration to ensure signals do not span across abnormal time gaps or missing data.
Garbage Collection: The script actively manages internal memory to prevent crashes, allowing for deep backtesting history on lower timeframes.
5.4 Full Customization
Adaptive Coloring: Labels and text automatically switch between black and white based on your background brightness to ensure readability.
Visual Control: Fully customizable line styles, widths, and colors for every individual cycle.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only. SMT Divergence is a concept used to interpret market structure and does not constitute financial advice or a signal to trade. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Market Regime & Bias Assistant [Prototype v1.1]
Market Regime & Bias Assistant
### **Overview**
The **Market Regime & Bias Assistant** is an all-in-one trend filtration and trading system designed to keep traders on the right side of the market. Instead of relying on a single moving average, this indicator combines **ADX (Trend Strength)**, **Multi-Timeframe EMAs**, **RSI**, and **Volume Spread Analysis (VSA)** concepts to generate a quantitative "Confidence Score" for the current market bias.
It automatically adapts its settings based on your timeframe (Intraday vs. Swing) and provides clear visual cues via background shading, candle coloring, and a data panel.
---
### **Key Features**
* **Auto-Adaptive Modes:** Automatically switches between "Intraday" and "Swing" settings based on your timeframe.
* *Intraday:* Uses faster EMAs (Aggressive 9/30 or Conservative 20/50) and VWAP.
* *Swing:* Uses standard 20/50 EMAs with 200/800 long-term context moving averages.
* **Market Regime Detection:** Identifies if the market is in a **Trend (Bull/Bear)** or a **Range (Neutral)** using a combination of ADX thresholds and EMA alignment.
* **Confidence Scoring (0-100):** A proprietary algorithm that scores the quality of the trend based on RSI alignment, Volume confirmation, and Long-term EMA context.
* **Vector Volume Candles:** Color-coded candles to highlight institutional activity (High Volume) vs. Climactic Volume (Exhaustion).
* **Pullback Signals:** "L" and "S" markers indicating high-probability entries after a pullback into the EMA value zone.
* **Data Dashboard:** A bottom-right panel displaying the current Mode, Regime, Bias, and quantitative Confidence Score.
---
### **How to Read the Visuals**
#### **1. Background Colors (The Regime)**
* **Green Background:** Confirmed **Bullish Trend**. Only look for Longs.
* **Red Background:** Confirmed **Bearish Trend**. Only look for Shorts.
* **Gray Background:** **Neutral / Range**. The market is chopping or consolidating. Stand aside or trade strictly mean-reversion.
#### **2. Candle Colors (Vector Volume)**
* **Green/Red Borders:** Normal volume.
* **Blue / Fuchsia:** **High Volume (1.2x Average)**. Indicates institutional interest or a breakout.
* **Lime / Bright Red:** **Climactic Volume (1.8x Average)**. Indicates potential exhaustion or a stopping volume event.
#### **3. The EMAs**
* **Fast/Slow Lines:** Show the immediate trend direction.
* **Gray/White Lines:** The 200 and 800 EMAs. These act as major support/resistance levels and define the "Big Picture" bias.
* **Lime Line (Intraday Only):** The VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).
---
### **How to Use This Indicator**
**Step 1: Check the Regime**
Look at the background color and the Dashboard panel. Is the Trend Strength "Strong" or "Very Strong"?
* *Rule:* Do not take trend-following trades if the Regime is "Range/Neutral."
**Step 2: Check the Confidence**
The dashboard calculates a score from 0 to 100.
* **High Confidence (>67):** All systems go. Alignment of RSI, Volume, and Trend.
* **Medium Confidence (34-66):** Caution warranted. Usually implies divergence in RSI or low volume.
* **Low Confidence (<34):** The trend is weak or failing.
**Step 3: Wait for the Setup (The Arrows)**
The indicator looks for pullbacks into the "Value Zone" (the space between the Fast and Slow EMA).
* **Triangle Up (L):** Appears when price pulls back into the zone during a Bull trend, then bounces out with volume confirmation.
* **Triangle Down (S):** Appears when price rallies into the zone during a Bear trend, then rejects lower.
---
### **Settings & Customization**
* **Mode:** Default is "Auto," but you can force "Intraday" or "Swing" manually.
* **Intraday Style:** Choose between "Aggressive" (9 EMA / 30 EMA) for scalping or "Conservative" (20 EMA / 50 EMA) for day trading.
* **ADX Threshold:** Adjusts how strict the trend filter is (Default: 20).
* **Visual Toggles:** Turn off/on the Panel, Background shading, or Vector candles to clean up your chart.
### **Alerts**
This script comes with built-in alert conditions for:
1. **Bullish Regime Start**
2. **Bearish Regime Start**
3. **High-Confidence Setup Detected**
HTF/CTF High/Low Mitigation with SignalsHTF/CTF High/Low Mitigation with Signals Indicator
Overview
HTF/CTF High/Low Mitigation with Signals (shortened as "H/L Signals+") is an advanced overlay indicator for TradingView, designed to identify and visualize higher timeframe (HTF) and current timeframe (CTF) swing highs/lows, track their mitigation, and generate filtered buy/sell signals using an EMA ribbon trend filter. It incorporates automated trade simulation with risk/reward (RR) visualization, position sizing based on user-defined risk, and a statistics table for performance evaluation. This tool is ideal for multi-timeframe traders focusing on swing trading, breakout strategies, or trend reversals across assets like forex, futures, metals (e.g., XAU/USD, XAG/USD), stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
The "meshup" (mashup) integrates several complementary elements: Multi-timeframe swing level detection (HTF for broader structure, CTF for finer details) with mitigation logic ensures signals align with market structure breaks; an EMA ribbon provides a dynamic trend bias to filter counter-trend trades; risk management automates position sizing and RR calculations for disciplined trading; and built-in backtesting stats offer quick insights into hypothetical performance. This combination reduces noise from isolated indicators—e.g., raw swings can be choppy, EMAs alone lag structure, and manual RR is error-prone—creating a cohesive system for spotting high-probability setups where structure, trend, and risk align. By meshing these, it aims to enhance decision-making in trending or ranging markets, though it's reactive and best used with confirmation. Note: This is a technical tool for educational purposes only; it does not provide financial advice, guarantees of profitability, or trading recommendations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should backtest thoroughly on their specific assets/timeframes, in compliance with TradingView's house rules.
Key Features
• HTF Swing Levels: Detects and draws session highs/lows from a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., Daily), extends lines until mitigated (by wick or body close), with alerts on mitigation.
• CTF Swing Levels: Identifies local swing highs/lows on the chart timeframe using a pivot candle formation (default 5-candle), with separate limits for unmitigated/mitigated lines.
• EMA Ribbon: A three-EMA system (fast 8, mid 13, slow 21) with gradient fills (green for bullish, red for bearish) to visualize trend strength and filter signals.
• Signal Generation: Buy/sell labels ("BUY"/"SELL") triggered post-mitigation when price aligns with EMA trend (e.g., above slow EMA with stacked bulls for buys).
• Trade Simulation & Risk Management: On signals, calculates stop-loss (SL) from recent extremes, position size based on fixed risk amount (e.g., $100 per trade, adjusted for asset type like futures point value or forex lots), and full take-profit (TP) at user-defined RR level (1-5). Draws RR boxes for visuals.
• Statistics Table: Displays total trades, wins/losses, win rate (%), net R-return, and max consecutive losses in a top-right table.
• Alerts: Customizable alerts for HTF mitigations and new trades (including entry, SL, TP, size).
• Visual Customizations: Toggle lines/ribbon/boxes, adjust colors/styles/widths for unmitigated/mitigated lines (HTF/CTF), min box width.
• Performance Optimization: Automatically cleans up excess lines to stay within max limits (e.g., 15 unmitigated HTF, 5 CTF).
How It Works
• HTF Logic: On new HTF bars (via time(htf_timeframe)), captures session high/low and draws extendable lines. Lines extend rightward until mitigated (high/close > high level for highs, low/close < low level for lows, toggle wick/body). Mitigation sets "waiting" flags for signals and triggers alerts.
• CTF Logic: Scans for pivot highs/lows using a user-defined candle count (e.g., 2 left/right for 5-candle swings). Draws and extends lines similarly, mitigating on wick touches, with separate styles for mitigated (e.g., dotted gray).
• EMA Ribbon Logic: Computes 8/13/21 EMAs; fills mid-slow and fast-mid with bullish green (close > slow EMA) or bearish red gradients.
• Signal Conditions: Post-mitigation (waiting_for_buy/sell true), checks EMA stack—buys require close > slow, fast > mid > slow; sells require close < slow, fast < mid < slow. Signals only on confirmed bars.
• Trade Execution: On signal, sets entry at close, scans back to mitigation bar for tightest SL (lowest low for buys, highest high for sells). Calculates risk points (entry - SL for buys), then position size via helper function (asset-specific: e.g., XAU *100, futures *pointvalue, forex 100000pointvalue). Sets full TP at entry ± (risk * full_tp_level). Draws risk/reward boxes (e.g., long: dark risk below entry, blue reward above) with RR and size text. Alerts with trade details.
• Trade Management: Monitors for SL hit (low <= SL for longs) or TP hit (high >= TP for longs); updates stats (wins if TP, losses if SL, tracks consec losses, net R as +full_tp_level or -1). Places summary label ("Hit TP5 (Win)" or "Stopped Out (Loss)").
• Cleanup: Counts unmitigated/mitigated lines; deletes oldest excess to respect max limits (e.g., max_lines_input=15 for HTF unmitigated, max_mit_lines_ctf=5 for CTF mitigated).
• Why This Meshup?: Standalone tools often fall short—HTF swings ignore local noise, but without CTF, miss entries; EMAs filter trends but overlook structure; manual RR lacks automation. Meshing them creates a "mitigation-to-signal" flow: HTF/CTF provide structural context (e.g., BOS/CHOCH), EMA ensures trend alignment (reducing whipsaws), and RR simulation adds practical risk control with stats for optimization. This holistic approach potentially improves edge in structure-based trading, especially in volatile markets, by combining macro/micro analysis with quantifiable risk—though it may lag in ranges or require tuning.
All logic uses arrays for line management, barstate.isconfirmed for reliability, and syminfo for asset-specific sizing. No repainting, but historical trades simulate based on chart data.

Usage Tips
• Multi-Timeframe Strategy: Use HTF (e.g., D1) for major levels, CTF for entries. Signals post-mitigation with EMA filter—enter on "BUY"/"SELL" labels, use boxes for RR visualization.
• Risk Management: Set risk_amount_per_trade to 1-2% of capital; adjust full_tp_level for strategy (e.g., 3 for conservative). Position size auto-adapts to asset (e.g., smaller for high-vol like XAU).
• Customization: Enable wick mitigation for aggressive setups; increase max lines in trending markets. Tune EMAs for asset (shorter for crypto).
• Alerts Integration: Use for notifications on mitigations or trades; messages include all details for quick action.
• Stats Analysis: Table shows hypothetical results—use for optimization (e.g., aim for >50% win rate, low consec losses). Reset on chart reload.
• Chart Compatibility: Best on candlestick charts; test on lower TFs with higher HTF for confluence.
Limitations
• Reactive Signals: Waits for mitigation + EMA alignment, so may miss early reversals or lag in fast markets.
• Chop in Ranges: Frequent mitigations without trend can generate false signals; EMA helps but not foolproof.
• Simulation Only: Trades are backtested on visible data—no live execution; stats assume full TP or SL hits, ignoring partials or slippage.
• Line Limits: Caps at user max to prevent overload; oldest deleted first.
• Asset Specificity: Position sizing tailored to forex/futures/metals; may need tweaks for others.
• Disclaimer: For informational use only. Trading involves risk of loss; results vary by market, timeframe, and settings. Consult professionals and backtest extensively. No profitability claims per TradingView rules.
EdgeFlow: Momentum RibbonThought for 11s
EdgeFlow: Momentum Ribbon Indicator
Overview
EdgeFlow: Momentum Ribbon is a versatile momentum-based trading indicator for TradingView, developed by @jay555b on X. This overlay tool combines a simple EMA ribbon for trend identification with a selectable oscillator (Stochastic RSI or Regular Stochastic) for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, all enhanced by higher timeframe (HTF) logic and price confirmation for robust entry signals. It's designed to help traders spot potential momentum shifts and trend continuations in various markets and timeframes, such as stocks, forex, or cryptocurrencies.
The "meshup" (mashup) of components—EMA crossovers, oscillator extremes, HTF filtering, and strict price-based confirmation—creates a multi-layered system that reduces false signals common in single-indicator strategies. EMAs provide the core trend bias, the oscillator adds momentum sensitivity, HTF ensures alignment with broader market structure, and the price close condition (e.g., closing above previous high for longs) acts as a final filter for conviction. This integration aims to capture "edge flows" where momentum aligns with trend, making it suitable for swing trading, scalping on lower timeframes, or confirming entries in trend-following systems. Note: This is a technical tool for educational purposes only; it does not provide financial advice, guarantees of profitability, or trading recommendations. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and users should backtest and use at their own risk, in compliance with TradingView's house rules.
Key Features
• EMA Ribbon: A visual band between fast (9-period) and slow (21-period) EMAs, filled green for bullish trends (fast > slow) or red for bearish, offering an at-a-glance trend overview.
• Selectable Oscillator: Choose between Stochastic RSI (for RSI-smoothed momentum) or Regular Stochastic (matching TradingView's default formula), with customizable lengths and smoothing.
• Setup and Confirmation Signals: Plots tiny squares for "setups" (oscillator crosses at extremes aligned with EMA trend) and triangles with "L"/"S" labels for confirmed entries (setup + HTF close + price break).
• Higher Timeframe (HTF) Integration: Processes logic on a user-defined HTF (or chart TF if blank), with a "max opposite-stack bars" tolerance to allow minor counter-trend bars before disarming signals.
• Persistent Arming Logic: Setups "arm" the system, persisting until confirmed or invalidated, preventing rapid flipping in choppy markets.
• Alerts: Built-in conditions for bullish/bearish setups and confirmations, with clean messages for easy integration into TradingView alerts.
How It Works
• EMA Trend Logic: The fast EMA (default 9) is compared to the slow EMA (default 21) to determine bullish (fast > slow) or bearish trends. This forms the ribbon's color and biases all signals—bullish setups require a bullish EMA, and vice versa.
• Oscillator Calculation:
o Stochastic RSI: Computes RSI (default 14 on close), then applies Stochastic (default length 8, %K smoothing 3, %D smoothing 3) to it, creating a bounded oscillator sensitive to relative strength momentum.
o Regular Stochastic: Uses high/low/close sources (defaults unchanged for accuracy), with %K length (8), %K smoothing (3), and %D smoothing (3), exactly matching TradingView's built-in Stochastic for consistency.
o Shared levels: Overbought (80) for bearish setups (crossover above), Oversold (20) for bullish setups (crossunder below).
• Setup Conditions: A bullish setup occurs on an oversold crossunder during a bullish EMA trend; bearish on overbought crossover during bearish EMA. These arm the system persistently.
• Confirmation Logic: On HTF bar close, confirm if armed, trend-aligned, within max opposite bars (default 0 for strictness), and price confirms (close > previous high for long, close < previous low for short). This meshup filters noise: EMAs ensure trend context, oscillator spots extremes, HTF adds multi-TF confluence, and price break demands immediate strength.
• Projection and Plotting: Signals project onto the chart's TF from HTF, plotting only on new HTF bars for clarity. Ribbon fill uses semi-transparent green/red based on trend.
• Why This Meshup?: Isolated indicators often fail in ranging or volatile markets—e.g., EMAs lag, oscillators whipsaw. By meshing them:
o EMAs provide directional bias to avoid counter-trend trades.
o Oscillator adds timing at extremes, catching pullbacks in trends.
o HTF reduces lower-TF noise, ensuring signals align with bigger-picture structure.
o Price confirmation (close beyond prior bar's extreme) adds a candlestick-like filter for momentum conviction, mimicking breakout strategies. This creates a "flow" of edges: trend + momentum + structure + price action, potentially improving signal quality over standalone tools. It's inspired by classic momentum strategies but customized for modern volatility.
All calculations use request.security for HTF data with lookahead off, ensuring real-time accuracy without repainting.

Usage Tips
• Trend Trading: Use the ribbon color as your primary filter—enter longs only in green, shorts in red. Confirmed triangles ("L"/"S") signal entries; setups (squares) as early warnings.
• Timeframe Strategy: Set HTF to 1-2 levels higher (e.g., 15m chart with 1H HTF) for confluence. Increase max opposite bars in trending markets to catch pullbacks.
• Oscillator Choice: Stochastic RSI for smoother, RSI-biased signals in volatile assets; Regular Stochastic for price-based purity in ranging markets.
• Alert Integration: Set up TradingView alerts for setups (potential watches) and confirmations (entries). Messages are concise for notifications.
• Combination Ideas: Pair with volume indicators or support/resistance for exits. Backtest on your asset/timeframe to optimize lengths.
• Chart Compatibility: Works on any chart type; signals plot small to avoid obstruction.
Limitations
• Reactive Nature: Signals confirm after HTF close and price break, so they may lag in fast markets. Not ideal for ultra-short scalps.
• False Signals in Ranges: Like all trend-momentum tools, performs best in trending conditions; chop can produce disarmed setups without confirmations.
• No Repainting: Uses lookahead off, but HTF projection means signals appear on new bars—test live.
• Customization Risks: Changing source inputs (e.g., in Regular Stochastic) may break accuracy; stick to tooltips.
• Disclaimer: This indicator is for informational use only. Trading involves risk; consult professionals. Abiding by TradingView rules, no claims of profitability are made—results vary by market conditions and user strategy.

Strategy: HMA 50 + Supertrend SniperHMA 50 + Supertrend Confluence Strategy (Trend Following with Noise Filtering)
Description:
Introduction and Concept This strategy is designed to solve a common problem in trend-following trading: Lag vs. False Signals. Standard Moving Averages often lag too much, while price action indicators can generate false signals during choppy markets. This script combines the speed of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) with the volatility-based filtering of the Supertrend indicator to create a robust "Confluence System."
The primary goal of this script is not just to overlay two indicators, but to enforce a strict rule where a trade is only taken when Momentum (HMA) and Volatility Direction (Supertrend) are in perfect agreement.
Why this combination? (The Logic Behind the Mashup)
Hull Moving Average (HMA 50): We use the HMA because it significantly reduces lag compared to SMA or EMA by using weighted calculations. It acts as our primary Trend Direction detector. However, HMA can be too sensitive and "whipsaw" during sideways markets.
Supertrend (ATR-based): We use the Supertrend (Factor 3.0, Period 10) as our Volatility Filter. It uses Average True Range (ATR) to determine the significant trend boundary.
How it Works (Methodology) The strategy uses a boolean logic system to filter out low-quality trades:
Bullish Confluence: The HMA must be rising (Slope > 0) AND the Close Price must be above the Supertrend line (Uptrend).
Bearish Confluence: The HMA must be falling (Slope < 0) AND the Close Price must be below the Supertrend line (Downtrend).
The "Choppy Zone" (Noise Filter): This is a unique feature of this script. If the HMA indicates one direction (e.g., Rising) but the Supertrend indicates the opposite (e.g., Downtrend), the market is considered "Choppy" or indecisive. In this state, the script paints the candles or HMA line Gray and exits all positions (optional setting) to preserve capital.
Visual Guide & Signals To make the script easy to interpret for traders who do not read Pine Script, I have implemented specific visual cues:
Green Cross (+): Indicates a LONG entry signal. Both HMA and Supertrend align bullishly.
Red Cross (X): Indicates a SHORT entry signal. Both HMA and Supertrend align bearishly.
Thick Line (HMA): The main line changes color based on the trend.
Green: Bullish Confluence.
Red: Bearish Confluence.
Gray: Divergence/Choppy (No Trade Zone).
Thin Step Line: This is the Supertrend line, serving as your dynamic Trailing Stop Loss.
Strategy Settings
HMA Length: Default is 50 (Mid-term trend).
ATR Factor/Period: Default is 3.0/10 (Standard for trend catching).
Exit on Choppy: A toggle switch allowing users to decide whether to hold through noise or exit immediately when indicators disagree.
Risk Warning This strategy performs best in trending markets (Forex, Crypto, Indices). Like all trend-following systems, it may experience drawdown during prolonged accumulation/distribution phases. Please backtest with your specific asset before using it with real capital.
Fair Value Gaps (Custom)Fair Value Gaps (FVG) - Custom
A comprehensive Fair Value Gap indicator designed for futures traders, offering multi-timeframe analysis with full customization of colors, opacity, and visual elements per timeframe.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are three-candle patterns where a gap exists between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (bullish) or between the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle (bearish). These imbalances often act as support/resistance zones where price tends to return.
Key Features

View higher timeframe FVGs on lower timeframe charts
Each timeframe has its own color, opacity, label, and midline settings
Flexible Fill Methods
Any Touch — FVG filled when price touches the zone
Midpoint Reached — FVG filled when price reaches 50% of the zone
Wick Sweep — FVG filled when wick passes through entire zone
Body Beyond — FVG filled when candle body closes beyond the zone
Visual Customization
Per-timeframe color AND opacity control via color picker
Optional midline display per timeframe
Customizable labels with fill percentage display
Optional borders with style/width settings
Boxes can extend to chart edge or fixed bar length
Dashboard & Alerts

ROC Bot AlertsA rules-based momentum scalping framework for short-term index futures
This indicator is designed for traders who focus on fast-moving, intraday momentum opportunities—particularly on lower timeframes such as the 1-minute chart. It uses a structured combination of trend filters and short-term momentum tools to help identify potential continuation entries during active market conditions.
Core Concept
The tool evaluates price behavior relative to a dynamic trend line while measuring short-term rate-of-change and directional strength. When all components align, the indicator highlights moments where the market may be transitioning into or sustaining momentum in one direction. Conversely, when conditions deteriorate or momentum weakens, the indicator suppresses signals to reduce noise and avoid choppy environments.
This approach aims to provide buy/sell signals for scalping in trending or expanding-volatility conditions.
What the Indicator Uses
The system assesses several factors before confirming a potential momentum signal:
A dynamic trend filter to determine directional bias
A rate-of-change threshold to confirm short-term acceleration
A trend-strength component to avoid signals during low-energy or ranging conditions
A cooldown mechanism to prevent rapid, back-to-back signals in unsettled areas
Only when all conditions align does the indicator paint a long or short trigger on the chart.
Intended Use
This tool is best suited for:
- Active scalpers
- Intraday index futures traders (NQ, ES, GC, etc.)
- Short-duration momentum traders
- Traders who prefer clean, rules-based decision making
It is not designed for swing trading, long-term trend following, or counter-trend strategies.
How to Read the Signals
- Buy markers appear when trend, momentum, and strength all support upward continuation.
- Sell markers appear when these same factors align in the opposite direction.
- The 90-period trend line can be shown or hidden based on user preference, but it remains part of the decision framework internally.
- The user may optionally adjust the momentum threshold (ROC%) to suit different volatility environments.
Important Notes
Signals are generated only on completed bars.
As with all technical tools, this should be used alongside proper risk and trade management practices.
Pythia — 33 FULLPythia — v33 (Full Edition)
Analysis of Structure, Divergences, and Energy Conditions
Description
Pythia Full visualizes the structural characteristics of price movement and the internal conditions that accompany changes in market behavior.
The indicator highlights moments when impulse slows down, when energy diverges from price, when structural inconsistencies appear, or when the market shows early signs of instability.
It relies on time-based, price-based, and energy-based metrics, combining them into a unified system of visual elements.
________________________________________
Setup
Only five main parameters are required for practical use.
The built-in HUD helps evaluate how chosen settings influence the indicator’s behavior.
Additional parameters are pre-configured and optimized for a wide range of instruments.
________________________________________
What Pythia Displays
• structural conditions associated with changes in movement dynamics
• micro- and macro-divergences
• areas where impulse slows or loses stability
• combinations of energy and price movement (EnergyTrap / PriceTrap)
• sudden impulsive spikes
• time-based zones where movement compresses or changes character
• local flow conditions (Flow)
• internal directional metrics (inner-channel logic)
These elements form a structural map of the chart, helping to interpret the current movement context.
________________________________________
Core Modules
1. TTC Zones (Time-To-Collapse)
Show areas where movement historically loses impulse.
Highlight time and price conditions affecting the stability of the current swing.
2. Micro- and Macro-Divergences
Micro — local discrepancies between price and MACD.
Macro — larger-cycle structural divergences.
3. Energy Conditions
Significant micro-divergences receive an energy assessment to distinguish stronger discrepancies from weaker ones.
4. Movement Traps
EnergyTrap — elevated energy load with limited price result.
PriceTrap — notable price movement with low energy.
Both help identify unstable combinations of impulse and result.
5. Impulsive Spikes
Mark sharp price expansions, energy surges, and subsequent instability zones.
6. Flow Mode
Evaluates local changes in the energy-flow context.
7. Inner-Channel Logic
Used internally within Flow to refine directional characteristics of the movement.
8. OR-Impulses
Rare energy bursts that help identify structural features of local movement.

Pythia — 33 STANDARTPythia — v33 (Standard Edition)
Structural Movement Analysis, Divergences, Flow, and Traps
Overview
Pythia Standard is built on the same structural core as the Full Edition and focuses on practical trading tasks: timely detection of divergences, slowdown zones, traps, and local flow transitions.
It highlights areas where impulse loses strength, where price disagrees with internal energy, and where movement enters higher-risk structural states.
The Standard Edition removes specialized modules (news impulses, extended channel geometry, advanced visuals) while preserving all essential structural and energy logic.
Configuration
Only several base parameters are required in real use (MACD lengths, pivot sensitivity, structural thresholds).
Internal coefficients for TTC, Flow, and energy filters are pre-optimized, reducing the number of visible inputs.
Alerts for the key signal groups are available directly in the settings.
What Pythia Standard Displays
• structural conditions where movement changes behaviour
• micro- and macro-divergences
• zones where impulse slows down or becomes unstable
• movement traps:
– EnergyTrap — strong energy, weak price result
– PriceTrap — strong price move, weak internal energy
• TTC time- and price-based zones where movement contracts or shifts
• full Flow-mode, showing local energy-flow transitions
• inner-channel directional context
• rare OR-impulse spikes (high-intensity bursts)
Together these elements form a compact structural map of the market — without the heavier Full-Edition modules.
Key Modules
1. TTC Zones (Time-To-Collapse)
Highlight areas where momentum historically weakens.
Reflect how far a structure can extend in time and price before losing stability.
2. Micro and Macro Divergences
Micro — local short-cycle structural breaks.
Macro — larger movements with stronger implications.
Both scales are available, with sensitivity controlled by MACD and T3 filters.
3. Flow Mode
Tracks local changes in the energy-flow context.
Identifies transitions between:
• probation flow
• confirmed flow
• false flow
A useful tool for assessing whether the current movement is stable or weakening.
4. Movement Traps (EnergyTrap / PriceTrap)
EnergyTrap — strong internal energy, weak price response.
PriceTrap — strong price expansion with weak energy.
Both conditions mark vulnerable structural states where movement often breaks or changes behaviour.
5. OR-Impulses
Identify rare high-impulse events combining price expansion, an internal energy surge, and post-event instability.
Useful for recognising structurally important segments.
6. TTC Grids & Alerts
Pythia Standard includes TTC grids (with adjustable transparency) and alerts for:
• micro/macro divergences
• Flow states
• movement traps
• TTC structural conditions
News-impulse alerts and extended channel geometry remain exclusive to the Full Edition.
Release Notes
Pythia — v33 (Standard Edition) uses the same structural-energy engine as the Full Edition while excluding news impulses and extended geometry modules.
Optimized for everyday trading: divergences, Flow, traps, TTC zones, and core alerts — with fewer inputs and a cleaner interface.

TrapMap Pro — Saël LabTrapMap PRO — Saël Lab
TrapMap PRO — Saël Lab
TrapMap PRO is an extended visual version of TrapMap Basic,
built on the same concept of imbalance between movement energy
and the actual price result.
The logic is fully identical to the Basic version.
TrapMap PRO does not change the algorithm — only the presentation.
Main Difference in PRO
PRO uses a cloud-based visualization that:
• highlights traps softly and minimally,
• avoids clutter from labels and text,
• makes imbalance zones visible “from the corner of your eye” and intuitively readable,
• keeps the chart clean and calm even during active market phases.
Two Types of Traps
1) EnergyTrap — strong internal effort, weak price result
Appears when the market shows internal activity:
• accelerated impulse,
• rising pressure,
• a sequence of “live” bars,
• many small-sized trades.
…but the price barely reacts.
Often signals:
• absorbed liquidity,
• blocked breakout attempts,
• false internal strength,
• presence of a larger participant holding the move.
2) PriceTrap — large price move with weak internal structure
Price travels far beyond the norm:
• sharp push,
• long candles,
• movement above expected ATR.
…but the internal structure is weak:
• few trades but large in size,
• low acceleration,
• insufficient pressure for a true impulse.
Typical cases:
• trend exhaustion,
• manipulative spikes,
• stop-runs,
• momentum “on empty”, without actual support.
Where TrapMap PRO is Useful
• early detection of manipulation,
• separating genuine impulses from fake ones,
• more precise recognition of false breakouts,
• identifying structural weakness zones.
Works on all markets and timeframes.

Nexural ORB Nexural ORB - Multi-Timeframe Opening Range Breakout Indicator
Introduction
This indicator was built out of frustration. After testing dozens of ORB tools, both free and paid, I found that most of them either did too little or cluttered the chart with unnecessary information. The Opening Range Breakout is one of the oldest and most reliable intraday strategies, yet most indicators treat it as an afterthought - just a box on the chart with no context.
This is not that kind of indicator.
The Nexural Ultimate ORB tracks the Opening Range across three timeframes simultaneously, provides quality scoring to help you identify high-probability setups, detects when multiple levels align for confluence, and now includes historical ORB data so you can scroll back and review previous sessions. It does not tell you when to buy or sell. It does not promise profits. What it does is give you clean, accurate levels with the context you need to make informed decisions.
I am going to be completely transparent about what this indicator does, how it works, what it does well, and where it falls short. If you are looking for a magic solution that prints money, this is not it. If you are looking for a professional-grade tool that will become a permanent part of your charting setup, keep reading.
What Is The Opening Range Breakout
Before diving into the indicator itself, let me explain the strategy it is built around.
The Opening Range is simply the high and low price established during the first portion of the trading session. For US equities and futures, this typically begins at 9:30 AM Eastern Time. The theory behind trading the Opening Range is straightforward: the first 15, 30, or 60 minutes of trade often sets the tone for the rest of the day. Institutional traders, algorithms, and market makers are all actively positioning during this window, and the levels they establish become reference points for the remainder of the session.
When price breaks above the Opening Range High, it suggests bullish momentum and the potential for continuation higher. When price breaks below the Opening Range Low, it suggests bearish momentum and the potential for continuation lower. The strategy has been used by floor traders for decades and remains relevant today because the underlying market dynamics have not changed - the open is when the most information gets priced in, and the levels established during that period matter.
This indicator does not trade the ORB for you. It identifies the levels, tracks multiple timeframes, and provides context. The actual trading decisions are yours.
How The Opening Range Is Calculated
The indicator calculates the Opening Range for three timeframes:
The 15-Minute ORB captures the high and low from 9:30 AM to 9:45 AM. This is the shortest timeframe and typically produces the tightest range. Breakouts from the 15-minute ORB tend to occur earliest in the session and can provide early directional signals, though they are also more prone to false breakouts due to the narrow range.
The 30-Minute ORB captures the high and low from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM. This is considered by many institutional traders to be the most significant timeframe. The 30-minute window allows enough time for the initial volatility to settle while still capturing the core opening activity. Many professional trading desks reference the 30-minute ORB as their primary intraday framework.
The 60-Minute ORB captures the high and low from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. This is the widest range and produces fewer signals, but those signals tend to be more reliable. The 60-minute ORB is particularly useful on high-volatility days when the 15 and 30-minute ranges get quickly violated.
The calculation itself is simple. As each bar completes during the opening period, the indicator compares the current high and low to the stored values and updates them if new extremes are reached. Once the timeframe completes, the levels lock in and do not change for the rest of the session.
I want to be absolutely clear about one thing: there is no repainting. The ORB levels are calculated in real-time as the opening period develops. Once a timeframe completes, those levels are final. You will not look back at your chart and see different levels than what appeared in real-time. This is critically important for any indicator you use for actual trading decisions.
Visual Hierarchy and Line Styles
One of the main problems with multi-timeframe indicators is visual clutter. When you have six lines on the chart representing three different ORBs, it becomes difficult to quickly identify which level belongs to which timeframe.
This indicator solves that problem through a clear visual hierarchy. Each timeframe has its own color, line width, and line style, all of which are fully customizable.
By default, the 15-Minute ORB uses solid lines with the heaviest weight. This makes it the most prominent on the chart because it is typically the first level to be tested and often the most actively traded.
The 30-Minute ORB uses dashed lines with a medium weight. This keeps it visible but clearly secondary to the 15-minute levels.
The 60-Minute ORB uses dotted lines with a medium weight. This places it in the background as a reference level rather than an active trading zone.
You can change any of these settings. If you prefer to trade the 30-minute ORB exclusively, you can make it solid and bold while keeping the others subtle. If you only want to see the 60-minute ORB, you can disable the other two entirely. The flexibility is there because every trader has different preferences.
The dashboard in the top right corner of the chart displays the corresponding line style next to each timeframe, so you always know which line on the chart matches which row in the dashboard.
The Quality Scoring System
Not every Opening Range is worth trading. Some days produce tight, clean ranges with strong follow-through. Other days produce wide, choppy ranges that lead to multiple false breakouts. One of the most valuable features of this indicator is the Quality Score, which grades each session from A-plus down to C.
The Quality Score is calculated based on several factors:
Range Size is the most important factor. The indicator compares the current ORB range to the average daily range over the past 20 sessions. A tight range, defined as less than 40 percent of the average daily range, receives the highest score. The logic here is simple: tight ranges indicate consolidation, and consolidation often precedes expansion. When the ORB is tight, a breakout has more room to run.
A normal range, between 40 and 80 percent of the average daily range, receives a moderate score. These are typical trading days without any particular edge from a range perspective.
A wide range, greater than 80 percent of the average daily range, receives the lowest score. When the ORB is already wide, much of the day's move may have already occurred during the opening period, leaving less opportunity for breakout continuation.
Volume is the second factor. Above-average volume during the opening period indicates genuine institutional participation. The indicator compares the current volume to the 20-bar average. Significantly elevated volume adds to the quality score, while below-average volume does not penalize the score but does not help it either.
Day of Week matters more than most traders realize. Statistical studies of market behavior consistently show that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday produce cleaner trending days than Monday or Friday. Monday mornings often see erratic price action as the market digests weekend news and repositions. Friday afternoons often see reduced participation as traders close out positions before the weekend. The quality score reflects these tendencies by adding points for mid-week sessions and subtracting points for Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.
Overnight Activity is relevant primarily for futures traders. If the overnight session produced a significant range, defined as greater than half of the average true range, it suggests that institutions were active during the overnight hours. This often leads to more directional behavior during the regular session.
The quality score is displayed in the dashboard as a letter grade. A-plus indicates excellent conditions across multiple factors. A indicates good conditions. B indicates average conditions. C indicates below-average conditions that warrant caution.
I want to be honest about the limitations of this system. The quality score is a guideline, not a guarantee. A C-rated day can still produce a profitable breakout. An A-plus day can still result in a failed breakout that reverses. The score helps you calibrate your expectations and position sizing, but it does not predict the future.
Confluence Detection
Confluence occurs when multiple significant price levels cluster together within a tight range. When the 15-minute ORB high aligns with the overnight high, or when the ORB low sits right at the session opening price, you have confluence. These zones tend to produce stronger reactions because multiple types of traders are watching the same level.
The indicator automatically detects confluence using a tolerance-based system. By default, the tolerance is set to 0.15 percent of price. This means that if two levels are within 0.15 percent of each other, they are considered confluent.
The levels that are checked for confluence include the Session Opening Price, which is the exact price at 9:30 AM. This level matters because it represents the point where the market transitioned from overnight to regular session trading. Many traders reference the opening print throughout the day.
The Overnight High and Low are also checked. For futures markets, this includes all trading from 6:00 PM the previous evening through 9:29 AM. For stocks, this includes extended hours trading. These levels represent the extremes established before the regular session began.
Finally, the indicator checks whether the ORB levels from different timeframes align with each other. When the 15-minute high matches the 30-minute high, that level gains additional significance.
When confluence is detected, two things happen on the chart. First, the affected ORB line changes color to gold, making it visually obvious that this level has additional significance. Second, the dashboard displays a Confluence row at the bottom, alerting you to the condition.
The Confluence label also appears directly on the chart, positioned within the ORB zone so you can immediately see where the confluence exists.
Smart Label System
A common problem with indicators that display multiple price levels is label overlap. When you have six ORB levels plus auxiliary levels like the session open and overnight high and low, the right side of the chart can become a cluttered mess of overlapping text.
This indicator solves that problem with a smart labeling system that combines matching levels. If the 15-minute low, 30-minute low, and 60-minute low are all at the same price, instead of displaying three separate labels, the indicator displays a single label that reads 15L/30L/60L followed by the price.
The system uses a tolerance of 2 percent of the ORB range to determine whether levels are close enough to combine. This keeps the labels clean while still displaying separate labels when levels are meaningfully different.
The labels are positioned to the right of the current price action, extending beyond the last bar so they remain visible as new bars form. Each label includes the level identifier and the exact price value.
Historical ORB Display
This feature addresses one of the most common limitations of ORB indicators: the inability to see previous sessions when scrolling back through your chart.
With the history feature enabled, the indicator stores ORB data for up to 20 previous sessions. When you scroll back in time, you will see the ORB levels for each historical session, drawn from the session start to the session end.
Historical ORBs are displayed with slightly faded colors, using 50 percent transparency compared to the current session. This creates a clear visual distinction between current and historical levels while still allowing you to analyze past price action relative to those levels.
The history depth is configurable. You can set it anywhere from 1 to 20 days depending on your needs. If you primarily care about the current session and the previous day for context, set it to 1 or 2. If you want to analyze an entire week or more of ORB behavior, increase the setting.
You can also disable the history feature entirely by enabling Current Session Only mode. This returns the indicator to showing only the active session, which some traders prefer for a cleaner chart during live trading.
Breakout Detection and Filters
The indicator marks breakouts with triangle signals. A green triangle below the bar indicates a bullish breakout above the ORB high. A red triangle above the bar indicates a bearish breakout below the ORB low.
However, not every crossing of an ORB level represents a valid breakout worth acting on. The indicator includes several filters to reduce false signals.
The Volume Filter requires that volume on the breakout bar be at least 1.2 times the 20-bar average volume. You can adjust this multiplier in the settings. The logic is straightforward: breakouts on weak volume are more likely to fail. A genuine breakout that is going to follow through should be accompanied by above-average participation.
The Time Filter prevents breakout signals after a specified hour. The default is 2:00 PM Eastern. The rationale is that late-session breakouts often lack follow-through because there is not enough trading time remaining for the move to develop. You can adjust or disable this filter based on your trading style.
The Single Trigger mechanism ensures that each breakout fires exactly once per session. If price crosses above the ORB high, you will see one bullish signal on the bar where the crossing occurred. If price subsequently pulls back and crosses above again, you will not see a second signal. This prevents signal spam and keeps your chart clean.
The indicator also includes Reclaim Detection. If price breaks out and then returns back inside the ORB zone, you will see a warning signal marked with an X. This condition often indicates a failed breakout and potential reversal. It is not a trade signal, but rather information that the breakout you just witnessed may not be valid.
Range Extensions
Once the ORB is established, many traders look for profit targets based on the range itself. The indicator includes extension levels that project multiples of the ORB range above and below the extremes.
By default, two extension levels are shown: 1.0 times the range and 1.5 times the range. If the 15-minute ORB is 50 points, the 1.0 extension above the high would be 50 points above the high, and the 1.5 extension would be 75 points above the high.
These extensions serve as potential profit targets for breakout trades. The 1.0 extension represents a measured move equal to the ORB itself. The 1.5 extension represents a slightly more ambitious target.
You can adjust the extension multipliers in the settings. Some traders prefer 0.5 and 1.0. Others prefer 1.0 and 2.0. The flexibility is there to match your trading approach.
The extension lines are displayed as faint dotted lines so they do not compete visually with the ORB levels themselves. The labels show the multiplier value along with the exact price.
## The Midline
The 50 percent level of the ORB, known as the midline, is displayed as a dashed line within the ORB zone. This level matters because it often acts as short-term support or resistance during consolidation periods within the range.
When price is trading inside the ORB and approaches the midline, you may see a reaction. The midline can also serve as a reference for whether price is showing strength or weakness within the range. If price is spending most of its time above the midline, that suggests a bullish bias even before a breakout occurs. If price is spending most of its time below the midline, that suggests a bearish bias.
The midline can be disabled in the settings if you prefer a cleaner chart.
The Dashboard
The dashboard is positioned in the top right corner of the chart and provides all relevant ORB information at a glance.
The header row displays the indicator name, the current Quality Score grade, the Range Classification, and the Session Status.
The Range Classification shows whether the current 15-minute ORB is Tight, Normal, or Wide compared to the 20-day average. This gives you immediate context about whether the range is unusual in either direction.
The Session Status shows whether the market is currently in session or closed. A green Live indicator means the session is active. A red Closed indicator means the session has ended.
Below the header, each timeframe row displays the following information:
The Timeframe column shows 15m, 30m, or 60m along with a visual indicator of the line style you have selected for that timeframe.
The High column displays the ORB high price for that timeframe.
The Low column displays the ORB low price for that timeframe.
The Range column displays the distance between high and low.
The Status column shows the current state. Before the ORB completes, this shows a countdown of minutes remaining. After completion, it shows whether the price has broken out bullish, broken out bearish, or remains in range.
Below the timeframe rows, the Distance row shows how far the current price is from the nearest ORB level. This helps you gauge whether price is approaching a potential breakout zone.
If confluence is detected, a highlighted row appears at the bottom of the dashboard indicating that significant level alignment exists.
Supported Markets and Sessions
The indicator supports multiple market types with appropriate session times:
US Stocks use a session from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern.
US Futures use a session from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern, with overnight tracking from 6:00 PM the previous evening.
Forex uses a 24-hour session since the market trades continuously.
Crypto uses a 24-hour session since the market trades continuously.
Custom allows you to define your own session times for markets not covered by the presets.
The timezone is configurable. The default is America/New_York, but you can change it to Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, or UTC depending on your location and preference.
Settings Overview
The settings are organized into logical groups:
General settings include the market type, current session only toggle, and history days.
Session settings include custom session times and timezone selection.
ORB Timeframes settings include individual toggles for showing or hiding each timeframe, color selection, line width, and line style. This is where you customize the visual appearance of each ORB level.
Quality Scoring settings include the ATR period and range comparison lookback. These affect how the quality score is calculated.
Confluence Detection settings include the tolerance percentage and toggles for the session open and overnight high and low levels.
Breakout Settings include the volume filter toggle and multiplier, time filter toggle and cutoff hour, and reclaim detection toggle.
Visuals settings include toggles for the fill zone, labels, dashboard, distance display, and midline.
Extensions settings include toggles for showing extensions and the multiplier values for each extension level.
How I Use This Indicator
I will share my personal approach, though you should adapt it to your own style.
First, I wait for the ORB to complete. I do not trade during the first 15 to 30 minutes of the session. The levels are still forming, and the price action during this window is often erratic. I let the dust settle and the range establish itself.
Second, I check the Quality Score. If it is an A or A-plus day with a tight range and good volume, I am more aggressive. If it is a C day with a wide range on a Friday afternoon, I am either sitting on my hands or trading with reduced size.
Third, I look for confluence. If the 15-minute high is sitting right at the overnight high, that level has additional significance. Breakouts through confluence zones tend to be more decisive.
Fourth, I confirm with volume. Even though the indicator filters for volume, I still glance at the volume bars. I want to see that breakout candle have conviction.
Fifth, I manage expectations based on range type. If the ORB is tight, I expect an explosive move and give the trade room to develop. If the ORB is wide, I expect choppier action and tighten my parameters.
Sixth, I use the distance reading. If price is already 50 points beyond the ORB high and the range was only 40 points, I have missed the move. Chasing extended price is not smart trading.
Honest Pros and Cons
What this indicator does well:
It provides clean, accurate ORB levels that do not repaint. This is the foundation, and it is done correctly.
It offers multi-timeframe tracking with clear visual differentiation. You can see all three ORBs at once without confusion.
The quality scoring system helps you avoid low-probability setups. It is not perfect, but it adds valuable context.
The confluence detection highlights significant level alignment automatically. This saves you from manually checking multiple levels.
The smart label system prevents visual clutter. Labels combine when appropriate and remain readable.
The historical ORB display allows you to scroll back and review previous sessions. This is valuable for analysis and pattern recognition.
The customization is extensive. Every visual element can be adjusted to match your preferences.
It works across stocks, futures, forex, and crypto with appropriate session handling.
What this indicator does not do:
It does not give you buy and sell signals with entries and exits. This is a levels and analysis tool, not a trading system.
It does not include backtesting or performance tracking. You need a separate strategy tester for that.
It does not guarantee that breakouts will follow through. The filters help, but failed breakouts still occur.
The quality score is a guideline, not a prediction. Low-quality days can still produce good trades. High-quality days can still produce losing trades.
The confluence detection is proximity-based. It identifies when levels are near each other but does not know if those levels are actually significant to other traders.
Technical limitations to be aware of:
On chart timeframes larger than 15 minutes, the ORB calculation becomes less precise because you have fewer bars in the opening period. This indicator works best on 1 to 15 minute charts.
The overnight high and low tracking works best on futures. Stocks do not have true overnight sessions in the same way.
If your chart does not have volume data, the volume filter will not function properly.
Risk Management
This section is not about the indicator. It is about trading.
No indicator, no matter how well designed, can protect you from poor risk management. Before you trade any ORB breakout, you need to define your risk.
Where is your stop? A common approach is to place the stop on the opposite side of the ORB zone. If you are taking a bullish breakout above the high, your stop goes below the low. This means your risk is the full ORB range plus any slippage.
Is that risk acceptable? If the ORB range is 100 points and you are trading a 50 dollar per point contract, your risk is 5000 dollars plus commissions. Can you afford that loss? If not, either reduce your size or skip the trade.
Where is your target? The extensions provide potential targets, but you need to decide in advance where you will take profits. Hoping for an unlimited run while watching your profits evaporate is not a strategy.
What is your win rate? ORB breakouts do not work every time. Depending on the market and conditions, you might win 50 to 60 percent of the time. That means you will have losing trades. Are you prepared for a string of three or four losers in a row? It will happen.
None of this is specific to this indicator. It applies to all trading. But I include it here because I see too many traders focus on the indicator while ignoring the fundamentals of risk management. The indicator can help you identify setups. It cannot manage your risk for you.
Final Thoughts
I built this indicator for my own trading, then refined it to the point where I felt comfortable sharing it. It is not a holy grail. It will not make you profitable if you do not already have a trading process. What it will do is give you clean, accurate ORB levels with context that most indicators do not provide.
The Opening Range Breakout works because institutions and algorithms reference these same levels. When the first 30 or 60 minutes of trading establishes a range, that becomes a reference point for the rest of the session. This indicator makes those levels visible and adds intelligence around when they are worth paying attention to.
Use it as a tool, not a crutch. Combine it with your own analysis. Manage your risk properly. And please, do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
If you have questions or feedback, I am actively maintaining this indicator and will consider feature requests for future updates.
Trade well.

Smart Gap Projection MTF Smart Gap Projection MTF
## Brief Description
Professional indicator for projecting US Dollar Index (DXY) gaps onto the traded instrument with multi-timeframe analysis support and advanced visualization.
---
## Originality and Uniqueness
**Smart Gap Projection MTF** is a unique development that solves the specific task of correlation analysis between the Dollar Index (DXY) and currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, or other dollar-dependent assets.
### What makes this indicator original:
1. **Inter-market gap projection** - the indicator doesn't just display gaps on the current instrument, but projects gaps from the DXY index onto your asset's chart, creating unique trading levels
2. **Dual confirmation system** - uses a mechanism of waiting N candles after a gap appears on DXY to filter false signals
3. **Intelligent lifecycle tracking** - each projected level is tracked until price touch or gap closure on DXY, with automatic visualization changes
4. **Multi-Timeframe extension** - ability to simultaneously display gaps from a lower timeframe of the current instrument to identify intraday opportunities
5. **Adaptive visualization (Heatmap)** - line intensity and width automatically change depending on gap size, helping to visually identify the most significant levels
---
## How the Indicator Works
### Core Operating Principle
The indicator analyzes the US Dollar Index (DXY) price movement in real-time and identifies gaps (price breaks) between candle closes and opens. When a gap forms on DXY, the indicator:
1. **Determines gap type** - bullish (price opened above previous close) or bearish (price opened below)
2. **Checks gap size** - filters insignificant gaps by absolute size (in points) and percentage value
3. **Waits for confirmation** - after detecting a gap, the indicator waits for a specified number of candles (default 3) to confirm that the gap didn't close immediately
4. **Projects the level** - after confirmation, a horizontal line is drawn on the current instrument's chart at the High level (for bullish DXY gap) or Low level (for bearish DXY gap) of the candle where the gap formed
5. **Tracks status** - the indicator continuously monitors:
- Price touching the projected level (line becomes more transparent)
- Gap closure on DXY itself (line changes color to orange)
### Conceptual Foundation
The methodology is based on the observation that:
- Gaps on the Dollar Index often lead to synchronous movements on correlated assets
- Price levels at the moment of DXY gap formation become price magnets
- Gap closure on DXY often coincides with trend reversal on dependent instruments
---
## How to Use the Indicator
### Basic Setup
1. **Add the indicator to the chart** of any asset correlated with the dollar (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, Bitcoin, Gold, etc.)
2. **Configure main parameters:**
- `DXY Symbol` - leave as "TVC:DXY" (standard Dollar Index ticker)
- `Minimum gap size` - minimum gap size in points (0.0001-0.001 for DXY)
- `Confirmation candles` - number of confirmation candles (recommended 3-5)
3. **Set up visualization:**
- Choose colors for bullish and bearish gaps
- Set desired transparency for each gap type
- Enable/disable `Use heatmap` for adaptive visualization
### Timeframe Recommendations
- **Scalping (M1-M5):** use MTF gaps from M1 timeframe, confirmationCandles = 2-3
- **Intraday (M15-H1):** standard settings, can add MTF M5-M15
- **Swing trading (H4-D1):** increase confirmationCandles to 5-10, MTF H1-H4
