VolumeProfile for Smart Money Range V4.5.2.2 3.13 Brief: This indicator is a volume profile and delta volume analysis tool on TradingView, written in Pine Script v6 (with import from the ta/10 library). It focuses on analyzing "Smart Money Range" (SMR) - a candle range (lookback period) to determine trends, extreme points (peaks/troughs), and volume distribution (volume) over time segments and price ranges. The code uses built-in functions such as ta.requestVolumeDelta to get volume delta data from a lower timeframe (customizable), and calculates cumulative delta with resets according to the anchor period (e.g., daily).
Strengths:
- Detailed and Flexible: Analyze volume by segment (A-M vs M-D) and levels (above/below X1/X2), support both total/delta mode, help detect imbalance more accurately than standard VP.
- Smart Money Insight: Identify trend/key levels automatically, compare cumulative arrays to catch cross/divergence/peaks – useful for SMC (Smart Money Concepts) like accumulation/distribution.
-Powerful Visualization: Boxes proportional, lines scaled to price, debug labels – easy to read, no clutter (limited boxes/lines).
- Delta Integration: Cumulative delta with divergence detection, top deltas/peaks – excellent for real-time buying/selling pressure analysis.
Applications:
- Trend and Reversal Analysis: Used to determine trend strength (compare VolumeTrend_BC vs Diff_MD), predict pullback/reversal if volume diff is high (e.g., VolumeUpperX1Diff_MD spikes → bearish continuation in downtrend).
- Smart Money Trading: Apply SMC – detect range accumulation (A-M volume high below X1), distribution (M-D volume high above X1), combine delta for entry/exit (bullish divergence → buy).
- Advanced Volume Profile: Replace basic VP, focus on pullback (showPullbackVolume), useful for day/swing trading on crypto/stock/forex.
- Combining Other Indicators: With ATR band for support/resistance, or overlay on price action to confirm breakout (e.g., cross cumulative lines → signal).

DRACO DateTime Range Box — DELTA📘 Title
DRACO DateTime Range Box — Stable Δ (Fixed Bottom, Extend-Right)
🔹 Short Description
A single stable range box from a custom start date and time.
The box locks its bottom to the first candle’s low, expands the top to the highest high, and accumulates Bars / Volume / Net Δ (buyers vs sellers).
Anchored to time (xloc.bar_time) so it stays stable and does not drift when zooming.
🔹 Full Description
What it does
DRACO DateTime Range Box — Stable Δ draws one clean, session-like box between any two dates and times you choose.
The bottom is fixed to the first in-range candle’s low (never moves).
The top expands dynamically to the highest high within the range.
The indicator accumulates:
• Bars – total candle count
• Volume – summed traded volume
• Net Δ (delta) – buyers vs sellers dominance
All geometry is anchored by real time (xloc.bar_time), ensuring perfect stability during zooming or resizing.
Optional extend-right mode continues the high and low levels into the future as guide lines.
Typical Use Cases
Accumulation / distribution analysis within a fixed time window.
Identifying who dominated the period — buyers (+) or sellers (−).
Spotting large-scale range phases or institutional accumulation.
Using the extended high/low as future support/resistance reference.

NQ Manipulation/Distribution Projections + Average RangeThis is not your typical OHLC indicator :)
Overview:
The Manipulation/Distribution Projections (OHLC Stats) indicator is a powerful tool designed to forecast potential price levels for various timeframes. It operates on a simple yet profound principle: price action within a single candle can be broken down into "manipulation" and "distribution" phases. By analyzing over 17 years of historical data for major assets in Python, this script calculates the average (mean) and typical (median) extent of these movements.
These statistical insights are then used to project key levels on your chart based on the current period's opening price, providing a statistically-grounded framework for potential support, resistance, and price targets.
Key Concepts Explained
The indicator's logic is based on how price wicks and bodies form relative to the opening price.
• Manipulation: This refers to the initial move that goes against the candle's eventual direction. For a bullish candle, it's the lower wick (the move from the open down to the low before reversing higher). For a bearish candle, it's the upper wick (the move from the open up to the high before selling off). It represents a "fake out" or a stop hunt.
• Distribution: This is the primary, directional move of the candle from the opening price. For a bullish candle, it's the distance from the open to the high. For a bearish candle, it's the distance from the open to the low. It represents the "real" intended direction of price for that period.
How It Works
This indicator does not calculate these ratios in real-time. Instead, it leverages a comprehensive statistical analysis performed externally in Python on over 17 years of OHLC data. This analysis determined the mean and median ratios for both Manipulation and Distribution movements across different timeframes and, for intraday periods, different times of day.
These pre-computed, static ratios are embedded directly into the script. When a new period begins (e.g., a new day on the Daily timeframe), the indicator:
1. Takes the opening price for that period.
2. Retrieves the corresponding pre-calculated Manipulation and Distribution ratios.
3. Applies these ratios to the opening price to project eight potential price levels:
o + / - Mean Distribution
o + / - Median Distribution
o + / - Mean Manipulation
o + / - Median Manipulation
This approach provides a stable, forward-looking set of levels for the entire duration of the trading period.
________________________________________
Features
• Statistically-Derived Projections: Plots eight key price levels based on historical tendencies, providing clear potential zones for entries, exits, and stop placement.
• Selectable Timeframe: Choose to view projections for the 1H, 4H, 1D, or 1W periods directly from the settings.
• Dynamic Stats Table: A powerful, on-chart dashboard that provides real-time context. For all four timeframes (1H, 4H, 1D, 1W), it shows:
o Position: Where the current price is relative to the projected zones (e.g., "In +Manip Zone," "Below -Dist").
o Range Completed: The percentage of the historical average range that the current period has already covered.
o Current & Average Range: The current high-to-low range in points vs. the historical average.
• Historical Context: You can display levels for previous periods to see how price has interacted with them in the past.
• Full Customization: Control the color, style, and visibility of every line, label, and fill to match your chart's theme.
________________________________________
How to Use
This indicator is versatile and can be integrated into various trading strategies.
• Identifying Targets & Reversal Zones: The Distribution levels (especially the zone between the median and mean) can serve as logical take-profit targets, as they represent a historical point of extension. Conversely, Manipulation levels can indicate areas where price might form a wick and reverse.
• Gauging Volatility: Use the Stats Table's "Range Completed" column to assess market conditions. If the 1D range is only 30% complete by mid-day, there may be room for significant expansion. If it's already at 150%, the market might be overextended and due for consolidation.
• Multi-Timeframe Confluence: Use the Stats Table to quickly check if the price on a lower timeframe (e.g., 1H) is approaching a significant level on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1D), adding more weight to that level.
• Defining Bias: If the price opens and holds above the Manipulation zones, it can signal a strong directional bias for the rest of the period.
________________________________________
Settings
• Projection Timeframe: The primary timeframe for which to calculate and display the levels.
• Historical Periods to Show: Set to 1 for only the current period, or increase to see how levels from past periods held up.
• Timezone: Set the timezone for accurate hourly calculations (defaults to America/New_York).
• Visuals: Customize the appearance of the projection lines, labels, and the shaded zones between mean and median levels.
• Stats Table: Enable/disable the table and configure its position, size, and colors.

Monday's Range Superpowerkyu🔔 Settings
You can customize the colors and toggle ON/OFF in the indicator settings.
Works on daily, hourly, and minute charts.
Easily visualize Monday’s high, low, and mid-line range.
📌 1. Support & Resistance with Monday’s Range
Monday High: Acts as the first resistance of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks above Monday’s high after Tuesday, it signals potential bullish continuation → long setup.
Monday Low: Acts as the first support of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks below Monday’s low, it signals bearish continuation → short setup.
📌 2. Mid-Line Trend Confirmation
Monday Mid-Line = average price of Monday.
Price above mid-line → bullish bias.
Price below mid-line → bearish bias.
Use mid-line breaks as entry confirmation for long/short positions.
📌 3. Breakout Strategy
Break of Monday’s High = bullish breakout → long entry.
Break of Monday’s Low = bearish breakout → short entry.
Place stop-loss inside Monday’s range for a conservative approach.
📌 4. False Breakout Strategy
If price breaks Monday’s high/low but then falls back inside Monday’s range, it is a False Breakout.
Strategy: Trade in the opposite direction.
◽ False Breakout at High → short.
◽ False Breakout at Low → long.
Stop-loss at the wick (extreme point) of the failed breakout.
📌 5. Range-Based Scalping
Use Monday’s high and low as a trading range.
Sell near Monday’s High, buy near Monday’s Low, repeat until breakout occurs.
📌 6. Weekly Volatility Forecast
Narrow Monday range → higher chance of strong trend later in the week.
Wide Monday range → lower volatility expected during the week.
📌 7. Pattern & Trend Analysis within Monday Range
Look for candlestick patterns around Monday’s High/Low/Mid-Line.
◽ Example: Double Top near Monday’s High = short setup.
◽ Repeated bounce at Mid-Line = strong long opportunity.
✅ Summary
The Monday’s Range (Superpowerkyu) Indicator helps traders:
Identify weekly support & resistance
Confirm trend direction with Mid-Line
Trade breakouts & false breakouts
Apply range scalping strategies
Forecast weekly volatility
⚡ Especially, the False Breakout strategy is powerful as it captures failed moves and sudden sentiment reversals.
Objective Doji Highlight (Range-Relative)This indicator highlights Doji candles using an objective, mathematics-based rule: a bar is Doji when the absolute difference between its open and close is less than or equal to a user-defined fraction (x) of that bar’s high–low range.
How it works:
Compute body size as the absolute difference between open and close.
Compute the bar’s range as high minus low.
Classify as Doji when body size ≤ x × range.
Only Doji candles are colored; non-Doji bars remain unchanged.
Inputs
Doji threshold (x of range): tolerance (0–1) controlling how small the body must be relative to the range.
Doji Candle Color: visual color for detected Doji candles.
Example:
If x = 0.10 and a candle has high = 100 and low = 90 (range = 10), the maximum allowed body is 1.
If the difference between open and close is ≤ 1, the candle is marked as Doji.
Why it can be useful
Doji candles are often studied as signs of market indecision. This tool provides a clear, parameter-based way to identify them consistently across any timeframe, without discretionary interpretation.
Notes & limitations
Works with standard candlesticks (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other synthetic bar types).
Visualization and research only: it does not produce buy/sell signals and makes no performance claims.
No repainting from future data; the logic uses only the current bar’s prices.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.

Euclidean Range [InvestorUnknown]The Euclidean Range indicator visualizes price deviation from a moving average using a geometric concept Euclidean distance. It helps traders identify trend strength, volatility shifts, and potential overextensions in price behavior.
Euclidean Distance
Euclidean distance is a fundamental concept in geometry and machine learning. It measures the "straight-line distance" between two points in space. In time series analysis, it can be used to measure how far one sequence deviates from another over a fixed window.
euclidean_distance(src, ref, len) =>
var float sum_sq_diff = na
sum_sq_diff := 0.0
for i = 0 to len - 1
diff = src - ref
sum_sq_diff += diff * diff
math.sqrt(sum_sq_diff)
In this script, we calculate the Euclidean distance between the price (source) and a smoothed average (reference) over a user-defined window. This gives us a single scalar that reflects the overall divergence between price and trend.
How It Works
Moving Average Calculation: You can choose between SMA, EMA, or HMA as your reference line. This becomes the "baseline" against which the actual price is compared.
Distance Band Construction: The Euclidean distance between the price and the reference is calculated over the Window Length. This value is then added to and subtracted from the average to form dynamic upper and lower bands, visually framing the range of deviation.
Distance Ratios and Z-Scores: Two distance ratios are computed: dist_r = distance / price (sensitivity to volatility); dist_v = price / distance (sensitivity to compression or low-volatility states)
Both ratios are normalized using a Z-score to standardize their behavior and allow for easier interpretation across different assets and timeframes.
Z-Score Plots: Z_r (white line) highlights instances of high volatility or strong price deviation; Z_v (red line) highlights low volatility or compressed price ranges.
Background Highlighting (Optional): When Z_v is dominant and increasing, the background is colored using a gradient. This signals a possible build-up in low volatility, which may precede a breakout.
Use Cases
Detect volatile expansions and calm compression zones.
Identify mean reversion setups when price returns to the average.
Anticipate breakout conditions by observing rising Z_v values.
Use dynamic distance bands as adaptive support/resistance zones.
Notes
The indicator is best used with liquid assets and medium-to-long windows.
Background coloring helps visually filter for squeeze setups.

Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.
Open Range Candle [TradeWithRon]This Open Range Break indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify and visualize key price levels using the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy.

True Range & ATRDescription : This indicator plots both the True Range (TR) and the Average True Range (ATR) in a separate pane below the main chart.
- TR represents the absolute price movement range within each candle.
- ATR is a smoothed version of TR over a user-defined period (default: 14), providing insight into market volatility.
- TR is displayed as a histogram for a clearer view of individual candle ranges.
- ATR is plotted as a line to show the smoothed trend of volatility.
This indicator helps traders assess market volatility and potential price movements.
DAILY ATR LEVELSThis script is a custom technical indicator for use in TradingView, designed to display daily Average True Range (ATR) levels on the chart, along with the daily opening price. It provides a customizable way to track price levels relative to the daily ATR, which can be useful for traders looking for volatility-based price targets or ranges.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Customization Options:
- Line Width: Determines the thickness of the plotted lines for the ATR levels and daily open line, ranging from 1 to 10.
- Right Offset (minutes): A time offset (in minutes) that shifts the end of the daily opening price line to the right for visual clarity.
- Line Style: The user can choose between solid, dashed, or dotted lines for all the plotted levels.
- Display Options: Users can toggle the visibility of the daily opening price line (showDayLevel), labels (showLabels), and ATR levels (showATRLevels).
- Colors: Customizable colors for the daily opening price line (dayLevelColor), labels (labelTextColor), and the ATR levels for both positive and negative values (atrLevelPlusColor and atrLevelMinusColor).
ATR Settings:
- ATR Length: Defines the number of periods (bars) to use when calculating the ATR. The default is 180, which corresponds to the ATR calculated on the daily chart using the last 180 bars.
- ATR Multiplier: Allows the user to scale the ATR levels by a multiplier (from 0.1 to 5.0), adjusting the sensitivity of the levels.
- ATR Levels: Users can toggle visibility for several predefined ATR levels, such as +25%, +50%, +75%, +100%, -25%, -50%, -75%, and -100%. These levels represent price points above or below the daily open based on the ATR.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ATR Levels Calculation:
- The ATR is calculated based on the daily chart using the ta.atr() function with the specified ATR length, default is set at 180.
- The script computes multiple ATR levels above and below the daily open price, adjusting each level by 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the ATR value (scaled by the ATR multiplier).
ATR Level Plotting:
- For each ATR level (positive and negative), a line is drawn across the chart at the corresponding price level.
- The color, line style, and width of these lines can be customized.
- Each ATR level also has an optional label showing the percentage level (e.g., "ATR +25%") at the specified price, which is positioned at the end of the line.
- The labels are removed from the previous bars to avoid clutter.
Workflow:
- The script first calculates the daily opening price using the request.security() function to pull the open price from the daily chart.
- It then calculates the ATR based on the selected length and multiplier.
- The start time for the daily open line is determined by the bar's timestamp at the start of the day, and the end time is adjusted using the user-defined right offset.
- After determining the relevant price levels (for the opening price and ATR levels), the script plots these levels on the chart as lines. It handles the drawing and deletion of lines to ensure that the chart remains updated in real time.
- If labels are enabled, text labels are displayed next to the ATR levels and the daily open line, providing clear markers for the user.
Practical Use:
- Volatility Analysis: This indicator is useful for identifying key price levels based on daily volatility (ATR). Traders can use it to set potential targets or support/resistance levels that are adjusted for volatility.
- Day Trading or Swing Trading: The daily opening price line helps traders quickly see where the price opened for the day, and the ATR levels give a dynamic range for the day's potential price movement.
Overall, this script is designed to provide a clear, customizable view of daily price levels in relation to the ATR, helping traders make informed decisions based on volatility and price action.

Consolidation & Head and Shoulders ScannerHello Traders!
The Consolidation & Head and Shoulders Scanner utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition to pinpoint consolidation and (inverse) head and shoulders patterns in real-time with unparalleled precision.
The rectangle pattern, also known as a trading range or a consolidation pattern, is characterized by horizontal lines that act as support and resistance levels, creating a rectangular shape.
The head and shoulders chart pattern is a technical analysis pattern used to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets. It consists of three swing highs (peaks), with the middle peak being the highest and the two outside swing highs being slightly lower. The middle peak is referred to as the "head" and the two outside peaks are referred to as the "shoulders."
The pattern typically forms after an uptrend and is in most cases a bearish signal. The neckline is a support level that connects the lows of the two shoulders. Once the price breaks below the neckline, the pattern is confirmed, and a new down trend starts. Conversely, an "inverse head and shoulders" pattern forms after a downtrend and is a bullish signal.
The Consolidation & Head and Shoulders Scanner is designed to operate in a fully automated manner, detecting consolidation patterns, head and shoulders patterns and inverse head and shoulders patterns across the symbol and timeframe that you select. It grants you the ability to simultaneously scan for patterns across as many as 20 distinct symbols.
Feature List
Real-time consolidation and (inverse) head and shoulders pattern detection
Breakout alerts
Customizable pattern size and accuracy
Customizable look and feel
The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify consolidations and (inverse) head and shoulders patterns in an automated way and across many different markets at the same time. The special swing-based pattern recognition makes this indicator unique. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for consolidation and head and shoulders patterns, since finding the pattern and alerting for a breakout is done automatically for the trader.
For a visualization of the detected patterns, you can add the TRN Consolidation and Range Pattern and the TRN Head and Shoulders Pattern indicators to your chart.
How does Consolidation & Head and Shoulders Scanner work?
On the right side of the chart, you can find a table displaying the symbols monitored by our scanner for pattern and breakout detection (first column). The table provides information on the status of each symbol.
ACTIVE – Pattern building up
UP – Upside Breakout
DN – Downside Breakout
UP CONF – Upside Breakout confirmed
DN CONF – Downside Breakout confirmed
FAILED – Pattern failed to get confirmed
This visual representation allows you to quickly identify the evolving pattern dynamics across different symbols, helping you stay informed and make timely trading decisions.
In the second and fifth column, the status of consolidation patterns with two different consolidation sizes gets displayed. In the third and fourth column, the status of detected long and short head and shoulders patterns is displayed. The same goes for column seven and eight but with a different head and shoulders size which is customizable in the settings.
The scanner operates specifically on the timeframe you have selected in TradingView, ensuring that the detected patterns and breakouts align precisely with your trading perspective. F If the scanner displays a pattern or a breakout, you just can switch to this instrument and start trading it if you like what you see.
Follow these instructions to discover how you can utilize the scanner for seamless and simplified chart pattern detection like never before:
Add Symbols
Go to indicator settings and scroll down to the "Symbols" section. The enabled symbols can be recognized by the check marks. Click on one of them and use the search function to add the symbol of your choice to the scanner. You can search for up to 20 different Symbols at the same time.
Use Alerts (optional but recommended)
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
in the making (Pattern active),
confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
(Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities that are still awaiting confirmation.
Customization and Settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns at the same time. Adjust the consolidation and head and shoulders sizes in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss.
