Net Positions (Net Longs & Net Shorts) - By LeviathanThis script is an experimental indicator that visualizes the entering and exiting of long and short positions in the market. It also includes other useful tools, such as NL/NS Profile, NL/NS Delta, NL/NS Ratio, Volume Heatmap, Divergence finder, Relative Strength Index of Net Longs and Net Shorts, EMAs and VWMAs and more.
To avoid misinterpretation, it's important to understand some basics. The “real” ratio between net long and net short positions in a given market is always 1:1. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price. Each contract has a long side and a short side, with one party agreeing to buy (long) and the other party agreeing to sell (short) the asset at the agreed-upon price. The long position holder anticipates that the asset's price will rise, while the short position holder expects it to fall. Because every futures contract involves both a buyer and a seller, it is impossible to have more net longs than net shorts or vice versa (in terms of the net value). For every long position opened, there must be a corresponding short position taken by another market participant (and vice versa), thus maintaining the 1:1 ratio between longs and shorts. While there can be an imbalance in the number of traders/accounts holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains 1 to 1.
Open Interest (OI) is a metric that tracks the number of open (unsettled) contracts in a given market. For example, Open Interest of 100 BTC means that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There may be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer traders on the other side holding larger positions, but the net value of positions on one side is equal to the net value of positions on the other side → 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario in which a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of HKEX:30 ,000. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing an order to short 1 BTC at the same price of HKEX:30 ,000. When both the long and short orders are matched and executed, the open interest increases by 1 BTC, reflecting the addition of this new contract to the market.
Changes in Open Interest essentially tell us 3 things:
- OI Increase - new positions entered the market (both longs and shorts!)
- OI Decrease - positions exited the market (both longs and shorts!)
- OI Flat - no change in open positions due to low activity or simply lots of transfers of contracts
However, different concepts can be used to analyze sentiment, aggressiveness, and activity in the market by analyzing data such as Open Interest, price, volume, etc. This indicator combines Open Interest data and price action to simplify the visualization of positions entering and exiting the market. It is based on the following concept:
Increase in Open Interest + Increase in price = Longs Opening
Decrease in Open Interest + Decrease in price = Longs Closing
Increase in Open Interest + Decrease in price = Shorts Opening
Decrease in Open Interest + Increase in price = Shorts Closing
When "Longs Opening" occurs, the OI Delta value is added to the running total of Net Longs, and when "Longs Closing" occurs, the OI Delta value is subtracted from the running total of Net Longs.
When "Shorts Opening" occurs, the OI Delta value is added to the running total of Net Shorts, and when "Shorts Closing" occurs, the OI Delta value is subtracted from the running total of Net Shorts.
To summarize:
Net Longs: Cumulative value of Longs Opening and Longs Closing (LO - LC)
Net Shorts: Cumulative value of Shorts Opening and Shorts Closing (SO - SC)
Net Delta: Net Longs - Net Shorts
Net Ratio: Net Longs / Net Shorts

[potatoshop] Volume Profile lower timeframeThis script is a volume profile that displays the volume of transactions in price blocks over a recent period of time.
For a more detailed representation, OHCLV values on the time frame lower than the time zone on the chart were called and expressed.
Low time frames are adjustable.
You can adjust the number of blocks and the most recent time period that you want to view.
Although it cannot be compared to the volume indicators provided for paid users of Trading-View, it has functioned by displaying transactions that are difficult to find on open source.
Displays the amount traded in each block and the percentage of the total over a given period.
POC represents the middle value of the block with the highest transaction volume as a line.
TPOC represents the block that stayed the longest regardless of the volume of transaction.
The reversal line appears when you determine the trading advantage of the rising and falling closing on a block basis and then have a different value from the neighboring blocks.
(I didn't mean it much, but I just put it in for fun.)
It represents the total volume of transactions traded in each block, and there are also check boxes in the settings window that represent the volume of transactions that closed higher and closed lower.
You can specify the color of each block.
The highest and lowest values for the set period and the total sum of each block are displayed at the bottom of the box.
Because it was made using a lot of arrays, the total transaction volume was marked separately to check the value.
When expressing the price block according to the trading volume percentage, it was a pity that the minimum pixel was 1 bar, so it could not be expressed delicately.
Although set to bar_time in Box properties xloc, 1 bar was actually the minimum unit of the X-axis value.
The logic used to place the transaction volume for each block is as follows.
1. Divide the difference between the high and low values of 1 LTF bar by the transaction volume .
2. Find the percentage of this LTF bar within each block.
3. Multiply the ratio by the transaction volume again.
4. Store the value in each block cell.

Estimated Time At Price [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script uses the same formula as the recently released "Volume Delta" script to ascertain lower timeframe values.
Instead, this script looks to estimate the approximate time spent at price blocks; all time estimates are in minute.second format.
The image above shows functionality. Time spent at price levels/blocks are estimated in duration. The highest estimated block is the highlighted level and a POC line is extended right until violated. Colors, the presence of POC lines and whether they're removed subsequent violation are all configurable.
As show in the image above, the data is displayable in an additional format. When select the "non-classic" format shown above - precise price levels are calculated and the estimated time spent at those levels is summed and displayed right of the current bar. The off-colored level (yellow in the example) denotes the price level encompassing the highest *estimated* time spent.
You can deselect the neon effect and choose to have the script recalculate after any conceivable amount of time has passed.
The script can also calculate for the most current bar should you configure it to do so.
That's all! (for now). A quick/easy script building off an existing foundation.
If you've any ideas for features and ways to "spice up" this script please let me know (: I'll gladly incorporate requests.
Thank you!
TPO Market Profile [Kioseff Trading]REPOST; SCRIPT WORKS!!
Due to technical error, this script was republished! Thank you for your support (:
Hello!
This indicator comprises a real time TPO Market Profile!
The script works on any timeframe 1 second or greater - the script calculates relative to the timeframe selected for your chart.
The image above shows the 1-minute BTCUSD chart; 650 +/- tick levels are set.
To see the script in full functionality - try using bar replay on a cryptocurrency 1-minute chart (start at the beginning of a regular hours session). Be sure to adjust the tick spread if necessary (:
So far, the script's held up in real time - I've not had any array loop errors or timeouts. The TPO profile updates accordingly with changes in time / high and low prices. Letters are appended to the profile in real time.
The image above shows configurations for the indicator. I plan to update the indicator quite a bit over the coming days - more to come.
You can select the timeframe change the indicator accounts for. For instance, you can have set the indicator to reset every day, every 30 minutes, every 5 minutes, every week, month, etc.
In the image above, I configured the indicator to recalculate every 3 months. Consequently, the indicator will record a TPO profile for three consecutive, reset, then record a TPO profile for the next 3 months. This setting makes the indicator compatible with any timeframe greater than 1 minute.
You can also use a drag & drop time-start bar to modify the starting point for the market profile TPO calculation.
The indicator hosts an option to auto calculate the tick spread between levels. However, as you switch timeframes and assets, sometimes, you'll have to manually set the tick range (:
Thanks for checking it out; more to come!
Sep 4
Release Notes: UPDATE: The indicator can work on seconds-based charts.
The image above shows the indicator working on the 1-second chart.
(Screenshot is old; characters are now numbered instead of strange unicode)
Release Notes: Added value area + vah + val. Font update. Changed characters to numbered once the alphabet is exhausted. POC, VAH, and VAL label located left of the first bar of the interval. Initial balance range can be toggled. Spaced the characters (more legible). Quite a bit of aesthetic changes so check it out!
Soon, I'll release a version of the script that shows VAH, POC, VAL, and TPO letters from previous sessions. I coded this feature into this indicator; however, it was removed due to load time complications. This feature will be its own script (:
If the script has trouble loading please let me know (:
Magnifying Glass (LTF Candles) by SiddWolf█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays The Lower TimeFrame Candles in current chart, Like Zooming in on the Candle to see it's Lower TimeFrame Structure. It plots intrabar OHLC data inside a Label along with the volume structure of LTF candle in an eloquent format.
█ QUICK GUIDE
Just apply it to the chart, Hover the mouse on the Label and ta-da you have a Lower Timeframe OHLC candles on your screen. Move the indicator to the top and shrink it all the way up, because all the useful data is inside the label.
Inside the label: The OHLC ltf candles are pretty straightforward. Volume strength of ltf candles is shown at bottom and Volume Profile on the left. Read the Details below for more information.
In the settings, you will find the option to change the UI and can play around with Lower TimeFrame Settings.
█ DETAILS
First of all, I would like to thank the @TradingView team for providing the function to get access to the lower timeframe data. It is because of them that this magical indicator came into existence.
Magnifying Glass indicator displays a Candle's Lower TimeFrame data in Higher timeframe chart. It displays the LTF candles inside a label. It also shows the Volume structure of the lower timeframe candles. Range percentage shown at the bottom is the percentage change between high and low of the current timeframe candle. LTF candle's timeframe is also shown at the bottom on the label.
This indicator is gonna be most useful to the price action traders, which is like every profitable trader.
How this indicator works:
I didn't find any better way to display ltf candles other than labels. Labels are not build for such a complex behaviour, it's a workaround to display this important information.
It gets the lower timeframe information of the candle and uses emojis to display information. The area that is shown, is the range of the current timeframe candle. Range is a difference between high and low of the candle. Range percentage is also shown at the bottom in the label.
I've divided the range area into 20 parts because there are limitation to display data in the labels. Then the code checks out, in what area does the ltf candle body or wick lies, then displays the information using emojis.
The code uses matrix elements for each block and relies heavily on string manipulation. But what I've found most difficult, is managing to fit everything correctly and beautifully so that the view doesn't break.
Volume Structure:
Strength of the Lower TimeFrame Candles is shown at the bottom inside the label. The Higher Volume is shown with the dark shade color and Lower Volume is shown with the light shade. The volume of candles are also ranked, with 1 being the highest volume, so you can see which candle have the maximum to minimum volume. This is pretty important to make a price action analysis of the lower timeframe candles.
Inside the label on the left side you will see the volume profile. As the volume on the bottom shows the strength of each ltf candles, Volume profile on the left shows strength in a particular zone. The Darker the color, the higher the volume in the zone. The Highest volume on the left represents Point of Control (Volume Profile POC) of the candle.
Lower TimeFrame Settings:
There is a limitation for the lowest timeframe you can show for a chart, because there is only so much data you can fit inside a label. A label can show upto 20 blocks of emojis (candle blocks) per row. Magnifying Glass utilizes this behaviour of labels. 16 blocks are used to display ltf candles, 1 for volume profile and two for Open and Close Highlighter.
So for any chart timeframe, ltf candles can be 16th part of htf candle. So 4 hours chart can show as low as 15 minutes of ltf data. I didn't provide the open settings for changing the lower timeframe, as it would give errors in a lot of ways. You can change the timeframe for each chart time from the settings provided.
Limitations:
Like I mentioned earlier, this indicator is a workaround to display ltf candles inside a label. This indicator does not work well on smaller screens. So if you are not able to see the label, zoom out on your browser a bit. Move the indicator to either top or bottom of all indicators and shrink it's space because all details are inside the label.
█ How I use MAGNIFYING GLASS:
This indicator provides you an edge, on top of your existing trading strategy. How you use Magnifying Glass is entirely dependent on your strategy.
I use this indicator to get a broad picture, before getting into a trade. For example I see a Doji or Engulfing or any other famous candlestick pattern on important levels, I hover the mouse on Magnifying Glass, to look for the price action the ltf candles have been through, to make that pattern. I also use it with my "Wick Pressure" indicator, to check price action at wick zones. Whenever I see price touching important supply and demand zones, I check last few candles to read chart like a beautiful price action story.
Also volume is pretty important too. This is what makes Magnifying Glass even better than actual lower timeframe candles. The increasing volume along with up/down trend price shows upward/downward momentum. The sudden burst (peak) in the volume suggests volume climax.
Volume profile on the left can be interpreted as the strength/weakness zones inside a candle. The low volume in a price zone suggests weakness and High volume suggests strength. The Highest volume on the left act as POC for that candle.
Before making any trade, I read the structure of last three or four candles to get the complete price action picture.
█ Conclusion
Magnifying Glass is a well crafted indicator that can be used to track lower timeframe price action. This indicator gives you an edge with the Multi Timeframe Analysis, which I believe is the most important aspect of profitable trading.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty BandsHeisenberg's Uncertainty Bands:
This is a volatility indicator to determine and visualize the uncertainty in a securities' price.
In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle (also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the accuracy with which the values for certain pairs of physical quantities of a particle, such as position, x, and momentum, p, can be predicted from initial conditions.
It plots a Kalman filter average of the bars inside a higher timeframe bar, to attempt to find the most frequent price in that bar's timespan. To plot what is effectively a MA using POC (IvanLabrie's code, credits to the author).
It derives momentum from relative momentum, yielding results more sensitive to changes.
Then it uses Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to find an uncertainty range, and uses it as the channel distance from the POC MA, meaning price is likely to fluctuate within that range.
Since uncertainty must be greater than h/2, adding fib levels will make it a useful indicator. Essentially they are pseudo-Fibonacci Bollinger Bands, which uses a different calculation.
Benefits:
Prices fluctuate, and it can be helpful to visualize price as a range, rather than a single point or line. This visualization can help in managing risk, determining entries and exits, and prevent losing one's position due to price fluctuations during a trend.
If we use a particle model, the uncertainty principle dictates that it is impossible to predict the price within a range. This is a good model for risk management!
Usage:
There are 5 Fibonacci ratio outer bands that can be turned on or off according to user's preference.
Recommended that the length inputs should be increased in higher timeframes, to visualize trends, shorter timeframes should have lower lengths.

Request for: FibTrader
instead of a POC line theres a POC area instead, since the script is checking a price area range for the frequency, its possible to average the values but this works as well.
ZigZag Volume Profile [Honestcowboy]The ZigZag Volume Profile Indicator is a combination of 2 very popular trading indicators, the volume profile and zigzag indicator. Instead of using predetermined sessions like traditional volume profile analysis. This indicator expands on zigzag indicators "legs" and draws a volume profile inside each zigzag leg.
What is a Volume Profile?
"Technical analysis tool showing trading volume at specific price levels, creating a horizontal histogram on the side of a chart to reveal areas of high buying/selling interest, unlike traditional volume bars showing volume over time. Key elements include the Point of Control (POC) for most traded price, the Value Area (VAH/VAL), identifying crucial support/resistance, and analyzing profile shapes (like D, B, P) to understand market balance and potential price targets, used by professionals to spot liquidity and market structure."
Key Differences
Does not have a value area but distinguishes each column in relation to the biggest column in percentage terms.
Does not take sessions into account instead using zigzag legs
🟦 CALCULATION
The zigzag volume profile first builds a standard zigzag indicator to find structure in the market. Using pivot points and a minimum % price move threshhold.
Then once it knows the zigzags it will use each leg as a time window to calculate a volume profile inside.
🔹Coloring each column:
The script will find the biggest column in the Profile and use that as a reference for all other columns. It will then decide for each column individually how big it is in % compared to the biggest column. It will use that percentage to decide which color to give it, top 20% will be red, top 40% purple, top 60% blue, top 80% green and all the rest yellow. The user is able to adjust these numbers for further customisation.
🟦 USAGE
The idea behind this indicator is, if you look at markets as different legs (moves) going in a zigzag pattern you might want to look deeper inside your previous moves and see where the actual liquidity/volume was during that move. The hypothesis here is you build trade ideas based on zigzags but then use the volume profiles.
Since volume and market structure are very well known concepts to discretionary traders I'm hoping this indicator might give some different perspective on this relation and help people create a trading approach based on it. Here's some quick cherry picked examples, just as a proof of concept:
🟦 SETTINGS
🔹ZIGZAG SETTINGS
Price Deviotion % : This is the minimum price move in % term from last pivot price needs to move to form a new pivot for the zigzag.
Pivot Legs (Left/Right): The amount of bars a high or a low needs to be higher/lower than to the left and right of the bar. 10 By default to create medium term zigzag
🔹Volume Profile
Profile Rows: The amount of rows in Y axis the zigzag is going to be sliced into to create the volume profile. Higher number is more detailed volume profile but also uses more box objects which is maxed at 500. 25 by default
Profiles to Display: The amount of volume profiles the indicator will draw back in time. Higher number means more history but also longer loading time. 20 by default
🔹Visual Settings
This part is pretty self explanatory and you have can manually select the colors used to create the volume profile. Refer back the the explanation about the "🔹coloring each column" section.

### 5. DAILY ROUTINE (Checklist)
1. **Open TradingView:** Switch to the **15m Chart**.
2. **Check Context:** Where are we? Are we near a big Red Box (Supply) or Green Box (Demand)?
3. **Check Trend:** Is price above or below the Blue VWAP line?
4. **Wait for the Open:** Let the first hour of New York pass (to form the Yellow IB Box).
5. **Set Alerts:** Right-click the chart and set alerts for "IB Breakout" or "Golden Pocket".
6. **Execute:** Switch to the **5m Chart** to find your entry trigger (FVG).
---
### 6. RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
* **Stop Loss:** NEVER trade without one. Place it just outside the FVG box or the Zone.
* **Risk per Trade:** 1% to 2% of your account maximum.
* **No Trade Zone:** If the price is "chopping" (moving sideways) inside the Yellow IB Box, **do not trade**. Wait for a breakout.
Weekly Levels: High/Low/Mid/POCThis is a simple indicator that plots each week (up to 4 weeks) with the high,low, mid point and a customizable POC. Weeks can be toggled on and off and it has a developing level for the current week.
I find these levels valuable in day trading and thought automating them would be ideal.

This open-source indicator is a clean, precision tool for revealing hidden large-volume activity directly on your chart. By scanning ultra-low timeframes while you view higher ones, it projects statistically significant volume spikes as intuitive markers giving you a clear window into institutional orderflow without visually overwhelming the price action.
Key Features & Strengths
True Intra-Bar Detection | Monitors lower timeframes down to 1-second bars, catching aggressive block trades and absorption that occur within a single higher-TF candle.
Accurate Trade Levels | Markers are placed at the actual hl2 price of the aggressive lower-TF bar, providing a far more accurate estimate of where the large trade executed than typical mid-candle approximations.
Multiple Trades Per Bar | If several significant volume spikes occur inside one higher-TF candle, all qualifying levels are displayed individually – offering greater granularity and context.
Adaptive Thresholding | Uses higher-TF volume standard deviation (stable baseline) intelligently scaled to the lower timeframe, reducing noise in quiet markets while remaining sensitive to genuine outliers.
Clean Visual Hierarchy | Three tiers (Small 🞉 / Medium ⏣ / Large 🞊) with dynamic symbol size, line thickness, transparency, and user-definable bullish/bearish coloring based on LTF candle direction.
How to Use It as an Orderflow Tool
Large volume spikes often mark the footprints of institutional players. This indicator helps you read those footprints in real time.
Small (🞉) | Moderate excess volume: early interest, probing, or building positions.
Medium (⏣) | Strong spike: increasing conviction, potential momentum shift.
Large (🞊) | Extreme outlier: frequently climactic volume signalling exhaustion or major absorption.
Why Price Often Reverses at These Levels
Large players frequently place limit orders in areas rich with liquidity – commonly just beyond recent highs/lows where retail stop-losses cluster. When price sweeps those zones:
Stop hunts trigger a cascade of forced exits, creating liquidity for larger participants to fill their limit orders.
Breakout traders who entered on the move are trapped offside and become forced buyers/sellers when price reverses.
Institutions use this liquidity to execute large orders at favorable prices with minimal immediate market impact.
The result is aggressive volume at the extreme, followed by reversal as smart money finishes filling and price returns toward fair value. Clusters of medium/large markers at swing points are classic signs of this dynamic.
Practical Analysis Tips
Reversals/Absorption | Clusters of large markers at swing highs/lows (especially opposing-color spikes) signal potential turns – buyers or sellers stepping in aggressively.
Level Defense | Trades piling up at key support/resistance suggest institutions protecting or building positions.
Trapped Traders | Large spikes beyond range pivots followed by reversal back into the range often highlight trapped breakout traders who add fuel to a move when they are forced to liquidate their positions.
Use Offset (-3 to +3) to shift markers away from current price for clearer viewing.
Pro tip: Zoom into the lower TF occasionally to see how these projected levels align exactly with aggressive candles.
Recommended Pairings
This is designed as a pure orderflow overlay to be layered with your existing setup:
Support & Resistance (horizontals, pivots, Volume Profile POC/VAH/VAL)
Market Structure tools (swing points, order blocks, fair value gaps)
Trend filters (EMAs, SuperTrend, higher-TF bias)
Momentum oscillators for timing confluence
Best Suited For
Scalping & day trading (1–15 min charts with 5–30S lower TF)
Swing trading entries (1H–4H charts with 1–5 min lower TF)
High-liquidity markets: crypto perpetuals, forex majors, volatile stocks
Add this indicator to start seeing the hidden aggression driving price and expose the hidden edges beyond the noise.

Proactive Execution MachineProactive Execution Machine: Multi-State Momentum Engine
Overview
The Proactive Execution Machine is a comprehensive trading workspace designed to filter market noise and highlight high-probability execution windows. It combines Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones, Manual Level Proximity, and a proprietary Dual-Candle Momentum Scoring system to categorize the market into specific "States" in real-time.
Instead of a simple arrow, this script provides a System Status dashboard that tells you exactly what phase the market is in—whether it's "Level Absorption," a "Demand Vortex," or a "Tired Trend. "Core Components
1. The Momentum Gauge (Bottom Left)
This table provides a deep-dive into order flow by scoring the last two candles based on:
Close Location: Where price closed relative to its range (Upper, Middle, Lower).
Body-to-Wick Ratio: Measuring the "effort vs. result" of the move.
Range Relativity: Whether the current bar is an "Inside" or "Outside" bar relative to the previous candle.
Slope (Linear Regression): A real-time trendline of momentum strength to see if conviction is accelerating or decelerating.
2. Dynamic State Engine The script automatically identifies and colors the chart into three primary zones:
Supply Zone (Red): The upper 30% of the recent price discovery range.
Demand Zone (Green): The lower 30% of the recent price discovery range.
Proximity Zones: When price nears your Manual Levels (PDH, PDL, NY Open, etc.), the engine switches priority to monitor for "Breakouts" or "Level Attacks."
3. System Status (Bottom Right)The dynamic HUD changes size and color based on conviction levels. It will notify you of specific market conditions:
Supply/Demand Overrun: When momentum is so strong it is smashing through reversal zones. Level Absorption/Stalling: When price reaches a key level but momentum has "flattened," suggesting a potential reversal or high-volume churn.
Buy/Sell Now: High-conviction signals triggered only when Location (Zone) and Momentum (Score) align.
How to Trade with the "Machine"
For Trend Followers: Look for the status "TREND (ACTIVE)" combined with a Momentum Score of $\pm 4$ or higher.
For Reversion Traders: Watch for "WATCH LONGS/SHORTS" when price enters a Supply or Demand zone. Wait for the status to flip to "BUY/SELL NOW" as momentum begins to shift back toward the mean.
For Level Traders: Input your daily levels (VAH, VAL, POC) in the settings. The machine will automatically prioritize these levels, changing status to "AT LEVEL" the moment price enters your specified proximity.
Key Settings
Manual Levels: Input up to 5 custom price levels for the proximity engine.
Proximity Sensitivity: Adjust how close price must be to a level (in points/pips) to trigger an "At Level" state.
Aggression (1-5): Tuning the pivot detection. Lower numbers respond faster to micro-structure; higher numbers focus on major swing points.
Visual Coding
Candle bodies are colored to assist with single candle pattern detection:
Lime/Pink Bar Highlights: The script uses a custom color engine to highlight "Shaved" (Marubozu) bars.
Lime indicates aggressive bullish conviction, while Pink (Fuchsia) highlights aggressive bearish conviction.
Green indicates bull engulfing candle
Red indicates bear engulfing candle
Orange is an outside bar
Yellow an inside bar
Gray a Doji bar
Black all other bars
Dynamic Zones: The chart features two primary background areas:
Red Zone (Top): The Supply Zone, identifying where sellers historically reclaim control.
Green Zone (Bottom): The Demand Zone, identifying where buyers historically step in.
System Status HUD (Bottom Right): This is the "brain" of the machine. The text size is adjusted to attract the trader's attention when the slope of the momentum increases above 5 (bullish expansion) or greater than - 5 (Bearish expansion). The system status changes color based on the market state too:
HUD Coloring:
Aqua: Active Bullish Trend.
Gray: Bull trend tired.
Orange: Active Bearish Trend.
Gray: Bear trend tired.
Red: For sell now.
Green: For buy now.
Lime: Bull price level under attack.
Marron: Bear price level under attack.
Gray: Price level absorption.
Yellow: Price at level and stalling.
Maroon: An "Overrun" or "Vortex" where price is smashing through supply/demand with extreme momentum.
The text size serves as a "Volatility Alarm." * When the text is Small, the market is in a "sideways" or "absorbing" state. You should be cautious about entering new trend trades.
When the text is Large, the Machine has detected that "Aggressive" participants have entered the order flow. This is your cue that a "Level Attack" or a "Trend Breakout" is currently in progress.
The 1-Minute Tactical Setup Guide:
Proactive Execution Machine Operating on the 1-minute (1m) timeframe requires a balance between speed and noise filtration. Because the Proactive Execution Machine uses a "State Engine" logic, it is uniquely suited for the high-velocity environment of the NY Open.
I follow these three tactical steps to optimize the chart for the 1m timeframe:
Step 1: Calibrate the "Proximity Sensitivity" On a 1m chart, a "Level" isn't a single price—it's a zone.
Adjustment: In the script settings, set your Proximity Sensitivity to a value that represents the average "noise" of your instrument.
For ES (S&P 500 Futures): 1.5 to 2.5 points.
For NQ (Nasdaq Futures): 5 to 10 points.
For Forex (EURUSD): 1 to 2 pips.
The Goal: You want the "AT LEVEL" status to trigger just as price is "sniffing" the level, giving you time to prepare your order before the touch.
Step 2: Watch the "History" Column in the Momentum Gauge
The bottom-left table is your most important tool for the 1m chart. It shows you the momentum of the last three bars ($T-0$, $T-1$, $T-2$).
Momentum Sequence: Look for a "Sequence of Three." If you see $T-2$ (Neutral), $T-1$ (Long), and $T-0$ (STR Long), you have a momentum explosion.
The Trap: If you see STR LONG followed immediately by a NEUTRAL bar while in a Supply Zone, the "Machine" will shift to "SUPPLY STALLING." This is your signal to tighten your trailing stop or take profit—it means the bulls are hitting a wall of sell orders.
Step 3: The "Level Attack" Execution
The script features a unique state called "LEVEL ATTACK." This is designed specifically for breakout/breakdown traders.
The Setup: Price is approaching a Manual Level (like the NY Open or PDH).
The Signal: If the status changes to "LEVEL ATTACK (BULL)," it means the momentum score is high ($>3$) and the slope is positive while within the proximity of the level.
The Action: This is a "Proactive" entry. Instead of waiting for the candle to close above the level, you are entering as the "Machine" detects institutional pressure "attacking" the level.
Daily Routine for the "Machine"
1) 09:25 AM: Input your 5 manual levels (PDH, PDL, NY Open, VAH, VAL).
2) 09:30 AM: Wait for the first 5 minutes of volatility to settle.
3) The Window: Look for the System Status to move from "IDLE" to a colored state.
4) The Trigger: Never take a signal if the Momentum Gauge is in the "Neutral" (Yellow) zone. Only execute when the gauge shows LONG/SHORT or STR LONG/STR SHORT.

Gold Asia Session Highlighter (IST) | Visual Indicator
This is a custom TradingView indicator designed to simplify the Gold Asia Strategy. Instead of automating trades, this tool purely handles the visuals. It automatically highlights the correct Asia Session time window (adjusting for Winter/Summer hours) and marks the exact points where you should draw your Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) tool.
Perfect for: Traders who prefer to draw their own FRVP levels manually but want to ensure they are using the exact, error-free time range every single day.
Features
✅ Automatic Time Zone: Strictly calculated using IST (Indian Standard Time), so you don't need to convert time zones manually.
✅ Smart Season Detection: Automatically switches between Winter Session (04:30 – 06:25) and Summer Session (03:30 – 05:25) based on the current month.
✅ Visual Guidance: Highlights the session background and places "START" and "END" labels on the exact candles.
✅ Zero Clutter: Clean visuals with no moving averages or strategy lines—just the session box.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the script to your Gold (XAUUSD) 5-minute chart. You will see a blue highlighted box appear during the Asia session.
Locate the Labels:
Look for the blue START label (bottom of the candle).
Look for the red END label (top of the candle).
Draw Your FRVP:
Select the Fixed Range Volume Profile tool from your TradingView toolbar.
Click exactly on the START candle.
Drag and release exactly on the END candle.
Trade: You now have the exact Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC) for the day. Use your breakout strategy as usual!
