Intraday Refuges/Shelters (RID)==========================================
RID (INTRADAY SHELTERS/REFUGES) INDICATOR
==========================================
*Fair warning: this may be more words than a humble, simple indicator truly
needs… but Claude insisted.
// ** INTRODUCTION ** //
RID (Intraday Shelters/Refuges) is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-implement
indicator designed for monitoring price action on intraday timeframes — the same
ones used by institutional operators to execute their trades within each market session.
The indicator generates a framework of support and resistance levels automatically
calculated from the asset's Daily Opening Price (D.O.P.). These levels are established
using fixed percentages that have proven their effectiveness in institutional trading
for decades, constituting "textbook" references widely adopted by market professionals.
RID integrates as an optional module within our Weekly Shelters (RS) indicator, allowing
the operator to simultaneously control their weekly positions and, when conditions warrant,
move down to intraday operations without loading additional indicators or losing sight
of the higher timeframe.
// ** INDICATOR FUNDAMENTALS ** //
The foundation of RID rests on a proven market principle: the daily opening price acts
as a "psychological anchor" that influences participant behavior throughout the entire session.
Why does this method work?
• UNIVERSAL REFERENCE POINT: The daily opening price is objective data, visible to all
market participants simultaneously. Institutions, algorithms, and retail traders use it
as a common reference to calibrate their decisions.
• STANDARD PERCENTAGE LEVELS: The percentages used (0.382%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% and
extensions) are not arbitrary. They represent intraday volatility thresholds that have
historically acted as inflection points across multiple asset classes.
• SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY EFFECT: When a critical mass of operators place orders at the
same percentage levels —whether for profit-taking, protective stops, or entries—
these levels become high-probability price reaction zones.
• INSTITUTIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: Institutional trading desks frequently define their daily
loss limits and profit targets in percentage terms relative to the open. RID captures
this logic and makes it visible for retail operators.
The ±0.382% level deserves special mention: it's a derivation of the Fibonacci golden ratio
(0.382) applied to the intraday context, representing the first significant movement threshold
from the opening.
// ** INDICATOR OBJECTIVES ** //
1) Facilitate manual intraday trade execution by providing a framework of target prices
established under a scheme of mathematical certainty, eliminating subjectivity in
defining entries, exits, and stops.
2) Serve as a lightweight and modular tool, easily integrable —either as an overlay or
source code— with strategies and indicators specialized in intraday trade execution,
both manual and automated.
3) Provide a visual reference framework that allows the operator to quickly assess the
intraday market "temperature": Is price near a key support or resistance? Has it already
reached the session's typical movement target? Is it time to seek entries or protect profits?
// ** INDICATOR TECHNICAL FEATURES ** //
• 21 CONFIGURABLE LEVELS: 11 main levels (±0.382%, ±1.0%, ±1.5%, ±2.0%, ±2.5% and D.O.P.)
plus 10 extended levels (±3.0% to ±5.0%) for high volatility sessions. Each level can
be individually enabled or disabled according to operator needs.
• AUTOMATIC D.O.P. DETECTION: The indicator automatically identifies the start of each daily
session and captures the opening price without user intervention.
• CONFIGURABLE HISTORY LIMIT: Option to limit processing to the last N days (default: 3),
optimizing performance on very low timeframes (1m, 5m) where excess historical data can
slow down the chart.
• PROFESSIONAL VISUALIZATION: Labels with formatted price (thousands separators) and
percentage, placeable with configurable offset. The D.O.P. level (0%) is highlighted
with differentiated width.
• VERTICAL REFERENCE LINES: From D.O.P. to each level, facilitating visualization of the
percentage distance traveled.
• FULL CUSTOMIZATION: Colors, widths, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), label opacity,
and forward extension fully adjustable.
• PRICE SCALE INTEGRATION: Levels can be displayed on the right margin of TradingView,
controllable from the indicator's Style tab.
• BAR REPLAY COMPATIBILITY: Works perfectly with Bar Replay for back-testing
intraday strategies.
• OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE: Efficient architecture with persistent arrays and intelligent
updating, suitable for timeframes down to 1 minute.
// ** OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ** //
INITIAL SETUP:
1) Load the indicator on a chart with 4H or lower timeframe (1H, 30m, 15m, 5m, 1m).
2) Enable "Limit history by days" and adjust "Maximum days to display" according to your needs:
• For scalping (1m-5m): 1-2 days
• For day trading (15m-1H): 2-3 days
• For intraday swing (4H): 3-5 days
OPERATIONAL USE:
3) Identify the D.O.P. (0% line): This is your central reference point for the session.
4) Observe current price position relative to levels:
• Price above D.O.P. → Session with bullish bias
• Price below D.O.P. → Session with bearish bias
5) Use levels as:
• ENTRIES: Look for reversal signals when price reaches S1-S5 (buys) or R1-R5 (sells)
• TARGETS: Set take-profits at the next resistance level (longs) or support (shorts)
• STOPS: Place protective stops beyond the immediate opposite level
PRACTICAL RULES:
6) The ±1.0% and ±2.0% levels are historically most respected; prioritize them.
7) If price exceeds ±2.5% from open, it might be time to take profits and close your position
or consider enabling extended levels (±3.0% to ±5.0%).
8) High volatility days (news, earnings): wait for price to respect at least one level
before trading in its direction.
9) Combine RID with other indicators from our ecosystem (RS, RMP, RLP/RLPS) to confirm level
confluence across multiple timeframes.
VISUAL OPTIMIZATION:
10) For clean charts: keep enabled only main levels (±0.382% to ±2.5%).
11) For detailed volatile asset analysis: also enable extended levels.
12) Adjust "Label margin" to prevent overlap with current price.
// ** INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SHELTER VALUE INDICATORS ** //
RID is part of a complete shelter-based analysis ecosystem we have developed:
• RLP (Long-Term Shelters): For automatic determination of the preponderant phase
of a Zigzag, which institutional investors choose as the base of a Fibo whose
levels calculate order placement projection over the following months and years.
• RLPS (Simplified Long-Term Shelters): Simplified version of RLP where known
coordinates of the preponderant phase are captured, obtained through own analysis
or automatically with the RLP indicator.
• RMP (Medium-Term Shelters): Provides psychological shelter and resistance levels
that institutional investors establish at the beginning of each year. They
constitute the main framework used by professionals to plan operations
throughout the year.
• RS (Weekly Shelters): For short-term tactical analysis (4H, 1H) based on selected
phases of one or two Zigzags that define Fibo tracing, over recent major and minor
degree pauses, whose levels take effect during the current and following weeks.
• RID (Intraday Shelters): This indicator. For intraday operations based on levels
calculated from daily opening price, designed for 4H or lower timeframes,
including scalping strategies.
By combining RID with RLP/RLPS, RMP and RS, a multilevel scaffolding is built that
allows trading with clarity on any time horizon, from minute positions to operations
projected over months and years.
// ** NOTES ** //
• All comments regarding detected errors and improvement suggestions are welcome and deeply appreciated. Your feedback helps us refine these tools.
• To our Hispanic speaking friends, we sincerely regret to inform you that we have not
included the Spanish translation in the published version, due to our latent concern
regarding the ambiguous rules about prohibitions on publishing indicators documented
or described in languages other than English.
• Sharing is motivating because there’s no better way to receive genuine feedback
of real acceptance.
• RECOMMENDED VALIDATION METHOD: Use TradingView's Bar Replay to verify, session by
session, how price of your favorite asset interacts with RID levels. This personal
validation will give you statistical confidence before incorporating the indicator
into your actual trading.
Happy hunting in this magnificent jungle!
Multitimeframe
5 Min FVG ORB by LybandzThis is a 5 minute ORB strategy. Essentially all it does is give buy signals if we broke above and got a bullish FVG and gives sell signals if we break down and get a bearish FVG. Its a little sloppy but it does give correct buy/sell signals. It also plots overnight levels. Ignore the SL/TP levels, those arent made correctly yet and I am too lazy to fix it. Just place the stop loss under the FVG candle and put the take profit at either 1:1.5 or 1:2 RR. Breakeven at internal highs/lows or after a volatile large move in your favored direction.
Note - for the entries, make sure to enter after a signal is given on M1. Using M5 timeframe will give different (but similar) results. Put your stop under the M1 FVG and go breakeven at 1:1 RR. Take a partial at 1:1.5 and hold the rest to whatever you want.
Enjoy :)

Credits / Attributions (Open-Source Reuse)
Parts of this script were inspired by / adapted from the following open-source TradingView scripts:
Dynamic Customizable 50% Line & Daily High/Low + True Day Open:
Swing High/Low Detector (RV5):
ICT Killzones & Pivots (TFO):
FVG Size reference:
All reused logic has been modified and integrated into a single toolkit with additional features and improved label/overlap handling.
Notes / Disclaimer
This indicator is a visual toolkit and does not provide buy/sell signals or performance claims. Always validate session times, timezones, and levels for your specific market.
Inversion ZonesInversion Zones is a simple indicator designed to help identify potential price reversal areas, based on liquidity behavior.
The indicator highlights zones where the market:
approaches an area of interest (Supply or Demand),
takes liquidity above or below that zone,
and shows a possible price reaction.
It does not provide automatic entry signals, but helps traders read market context and understand where the price may react, leaving the final trading decision to the trader.All the indicator parameters are fully adjustable, allowing it to be adapted to:
your own trading style,
the timeframe you use,
and the market you trade.
Each trader can choose whether the indicator should be:
more conservative or more reactive,
more focused on market context or on timing.
HVN Boundary Assist FRVP + ATR Tempo Auto TF Defaults (LOCKED)This indicator is a structure-assist tool, not a signal generator. It is designed to standardize High-Volume Node (HVN) boundary placement and evaluation when using TradingView’s Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) on weekly and monthly timeframes.
The script does not attempt to discover HVNs automatically. The trader selects the HVN visually using FRVP and inputs the HVN center (effective VPOC). From there, the script applies consistent, rules-based logic to define boundaries, track interaction, and prevent lower-timeframe levels from conflicting with higher-timeframe structure.
What the indicator does
1. Standardizes HVN boundary placement
Using the active timeframe’s ATR, the indicator identifies the first candle that regains tempo on each side of the HVN center.
A valid boundary requires:
A bar range ≥ a fixed fraction of ATR
A close that breaks prior rotational overlap
The close of that candle becomes the candidate HVN high or low. Wicks are ignored for structure.
2. Automatically adapts to timeframe
The indicator enforces locked system defaults:
Weekly: 0.33 ATR expansion, 10-bar overlap lookback
Monthly: 0.25 ATR expansion, 8-bar overlap lookback
These values adjust automatically based on chart timeframe, eliminating discretionary tuning.
3. Tracks retests without redefining structure
HVN interaction is tracked via wick touches within a tight ATR-based tolerance.
Retests are informational only and never move boundaries. This captures recognition and rejection behavior without violating close-based structure rules.
4. Ranks HVN strength (0–3)
Each HVN is scored using:
Tightness relative to ATR
Relative volume confirmation
Presence of at least one retest
This produces a simple, comparable strength ranking without overfitting.
5. Enforces clean monthly → weekly nesting
An optional monthly gate restricts weekly logic to operate only inside a defined monthly HVN.
If conflicts arise, monthly structure always overrides weekly, preventing level overlap and structural ambiguity.
What the indicator does NOT do
It does not read FRVP data (TradingView limitation)
It does not auto-detect HVNs
It does not generate trade signals
It exists to remove subjectivity and inconsistency from HVN boundary placement and evaluation.
Intended use
Apply FRVP and visually identify the HVN
Enter the HVN center price into the indicator
Let the script define precise boundaries and interaction metrics
Use monthly HVNs as structural rails and weekly HVNs for execution
Design philosophy
Structure is defined by closes and volatility, not wicks
Retests measure recognition, not acceptance
Higher timeframe structure always dominates
This tool enforces those rules mechanically so the trader doesn’t have to.

What it displays
- Opening Range Box (09:30–09:35)
Highlights the high and low formed during the first 5 minutes after the NY market opens.
High & Low Extensions Horizontal projection lines extending the opening range forward for a user-defined number of hours.
Midpoint (50%) Level, A dotted line marking the midpoint of the range, useful for balance, mean-reversion, and confirmation setups.
Bob's Whale Hunter - V7 (Jorge's Algo)Trade like a whale, not the bait.
The Whale Hunter V7 is a high-performance toolkit specifically engineered for traders following Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Institutional Price Action. This indicator automates the identification of high-probability zones based on the AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution) cycle.
🚀 Key Features:
Institutional Liquidity Sweeps: Automatically detects liquidity grabs at key highs and lows. These are the exact spots where institutional "whales" enter the market by triggering retail stop losses.
Dynamic Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Highlights market imbalances that act as price magnets. This allows you to time your entries during the "rebalance" with surgical precision.
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard (HTF Matrix): A real-time panel showing the Macro bias (4H) versus the Entry trend (15m). Stay aligned with the higher-timeframe order flow at all times.
Elite Market Structure: An institutional-grade trend filter that shifts color based on market dominance, helping you distinguish between a deep retracement and a true trend reversal.
🛠 How to Trade it (The Institutional Checklist):
Macro Alignment: Check the Dashboard. If 4H is green, look for buy setups only. Never trade against the "Big Money" flow.
Identify the Sweep: Wait for the triangle signal (Sweep). This confirms that liquidity has been cleared and the "Manipulation Phase" is likely complete.
The Trigger (FVG): Once a Break of Structure (ChoCH) occurs after the sweep, look for entries within the highlighted FVG boxes that align with your OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) Fibonacci levels.
Targeting: Aim for the opposing liquidity pools or the next institutional level identified by the script.

This indicator shows whether the current price is above or below the 5-period EMA across five key timeframes (5 min, 15 min, 1 hour, 4 hour, Daily).
It highlights when all five timeframes are aligned in the same direction (all bullish or all bearish), giving a clear "Buy", "Sell", or "No Trade Zone" signal.
**What the indicator displays**
- A dashboard table appears in one corner of the chart
- Each row shows one timeframe
- Text says "Above - Bullish" (green) or "Below - Bearish" (red) depending on whether current price is above or below the 5 EMA on that timeframe
- The bottom row shows the overall signal:
- **Buy** → all 5 timeframes are bullish (price > 5 EMA on every TF)
- **Sell** → all 5 timeframes are bearish (price < 5 EMA on every TF)
- **No Trade Zone** → mixed alignment (not all timeframes agree)
**Customizing the indicator**
- **EMA Period** — default is 5, but you can change it (e.g. to 8, 9, 13, etc.)
- **Colors** — adjust Bullish (green), Bearish (red), and No Trade (yellow) colors to your preference
- **Table Position** — choose Top Right, Bottom Right, or Bottom Left
- **Text Sizes** — separately control the size of the timeframe rows and the signal row (Tiny → Huge)
- **Header** — shows "Options Direction Dashboard" at the top of the table (you can edit the text in the code if desired)
**How to read the signal**
- **Strong Buy** — entire table green + bottom row says **Buy**
- **Strong Sell** — entire table red + bottom row says **Sell**
- **No clear direction** — mixed colors + bottom row says **No Trade Zone**
Only trade in the direction of the **full alignment** (all rows same color) for highest-probability setups.
**Alerts**
Three alert conditions are built-in:
1. **Buy Signal** — triggers when all timeframes become bullish
2. **Sell Signal** — triggers when all timeframes become bearish
3. **Signal Change** — triggers any time the overall signal changes (Buy ↔ Sell ↔ No Trade)
To set an alert:
- Right-click on the chart → **Add Alert**
- In **Condition**, select this indicator
- Choose one of the three conditions (Buy Signal / Sell Signal / Signal Change)
- Set frequency to **Once Per Bar Close** (recommended for most users)
- Customize notification (email, SMS, webhook, etc.)
**Best practices**
- Use for scalping when all EMA align and only take trades in the direction of the alignment.
- Use on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for swing/position trading and use the smaller timeframe to time entries
- Combine with your existing price action, support/resistance or other filters
- The strongest setups occur when the signal flips from No Trade → Buy or No Trade → Sell

SMT Quarter theory - AMDX cycles and killzones.This indicator visualizes the Quarterly Theory (SMT / Smart Money Theory) concept anchored to New York time. The main daily cycle starts at 18:00 NY time and lasts exactly 24 hours — until 18:00 the next day (local NY time, automatically handling daylight saving time transitions).
Each 24-hour SMT day is divided into four 6-hour blocks:
18:00–00:00 (Asia Killzone)
00:00–06:00 (London Open)
06:00–12:00 (NY AM)
12:00–18:00 (NY PM)
Each 6-hour block is further subdivided into four 90-minute micro-cycles.
The indicator draws:
semi-transparent colored rectangles (boxes) for the 6-hour sessions using different colors and corresponding session names
lighter orange boxes for the 90-minute cycles inside each 6-hour block
vertical dashed lines at the boundaries of 6-hour sessions (different colors)
thin dotted lines at the boundaries of 90-minute cycles
a thick vertical line marking the end of the SMT day (next 18:00 NY)
text labels with the main session names placed above the chart
This indicator based on AMDX quarter theory - accumulation, manipulation, distribution, x (distribution or reversal). Use this indicator to improve your price movement understanding!
Этот индикатор предназначен для визуализации концепции Quarterly Theory (SMT / Smart Money Theory) с привязкой к нью-йоркскому времени. Основной цикл дня начинается в 18:00 по Нью-Йорку и длится ровно 24 часа — до 18:00 следующего дня (по местному времени NY, с автоматическим учётом перехода на летнее/зимнее время).
Каждый такой 24-часовой SMT-день делится на четыре 6-часовых блока:
18:00–00:00 (Asia Killzone)
00:00–06:00 (London Open)
06:00–12:00 (NY AM)
12:00–18:00 (NY PM)
Каждый 6-часовой блок, в свою очередь, разделён на четыре 90-минутных микроцикла.
Индикатор рисует:
полупрозрачные цветные прямоугольники (боксы) для 6-часовых сессий с разными цветами и соответствующими названиями
более светлые оранжевые боксы для 90-минутных циклов внутри каждого 6-часового блока
вертикальные пунктирные линии на границах 6-часовых сессий (разные цвета)
тонкие точечные линии на границах 90-минутных циклов
вертикальную жирную линию на конец SMT-дня (следующие 18:00 NY)
текстовые метки с названиями основных сессий над графиком
PDH & PDLDescription (Copy & Paste)
Overview This is a lightweight, optimized indicator that displays the Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) on intraday charts.
These levels are critical reference points for day traders, acting as key liquidity pools where price often reacts. Whether you are trading Mean Reversion (fading the edges) or Momentum (breakouts), knowing exactly where yesterday's auction limits were is essential context.
Key Features
Historical Accuracy: Plots historical levels using step-line style, allowing you to backtest how price reacted to PDH/PDL in the past.
Zero Clutter (V2 Optimization): Unlike standard indicators that spam labels on every bar, this version uses efficient var label logic. It maintains a single label instance that stays pinned to the current price action, keeping your chart clean.
Multi-Timeframe Ready: Fetches Daily data correctly regardless of your intraday timeframe (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.).
Fully Customizable: Toggle history lines or current labels on/off and adjust colors/width to fit your theme.
How to Use
Context: Use these levels to determine market sentiment. Opening above PDH suggests bullish imbalance; opening inside the range suggests balance/chop.
Entry Triggers: Watch for "Rejection" (wicks) or "Acceptance" (strong closes) at these lines.
Breakout: Price closes firmly outside the level with volume.
Reversal: Price sweeps the level and immediately reclaims the range.
Settings
Show Historical Levels: Enable to see the levels for previous days (useful for backtesting).
Show Current Labels: Enable to see the price tags on the hard right edge.

Session Time Lines (NY Time)This clean indicator draws vertical dashed lines on the chart at key session times in New York time:
7:00 PM – Previous day session start
3:00 AM – Overnight session

It automatically removes the previous session’s lines when a new 7:00 PM occurs, keeping the chart clean. Lines are drawn directly on the price chart (overlay), making it easy to see market session transitions.
