ICT Directional FVG Indicator (Buffered SL)This is the first indicator I have ever made, and I am very new to Pine Script. I’ve tried my best to create this as a strategy, but I’m still learning, so please be kind and constructive with your feedback!
ICT Directional FVG Indicator (Buffered SL)
This indicator is designed for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, focusing on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), liquidity sweeps, and session-based trading. It automatically detects bullish and bearish FVGs, highlights them on the chart, and identifies liquidity sweep events. The indicator features three customizable Kill Zones (London, New York, and Asia sessions), each with independent toggles and color-coded backgrounds for clear visual separation.
Key features:
Fair Value Gap Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish FVGs in real time.
Liquidity Sweep Alerts: Marks potential liquidity sweep events for both highs and lows.
Session Kill Zones: Toggle each Kill Zone (London, New York, Asia) independently; background color changes only in enabled zones.
Trade Signal Visualization: Plots entry, stop loss, and take profit levels based on FVG and sweep logic, with a user-defined stop loss buffer.
Customizable Display: Easily enable or disable FVGs, sweeps, trade levels, and each Kill Zone to suit your strategy.
This tool is ideal for ICT-based traders who want a clear, automated view of FVGs, sweeps, and session activity, with full control over which sessions and signals are displayed.

Purpose:
Shows if the market is trending, volatile, or stuck so you can decide when to trade or wait.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart. Adjust basic settings like EMA, RSI, ATR lengths, and timezone if needed. Use it before entering any trade to confirm market conditions.
What Each Metric Means (with general ranges)
Session: Identifies which market session is active (New York, London, Tokyo).
Trend: Shows current market direction. “Up” means price above EMA and VWAP, “Down” means price below. Use this to confirm bullish or bearish bias.
HTF Trend: Confirms trend on a higher timeframe for stronger signals.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility or price movement speed.
Low ATR (e.g., below 0.5% of price) means quiet or slow market; high ATR (above 1% of price) means volatile or fast-moving market, good for active trades.
Strong Bar: A candlestick closing near its high (above 75% of range) indicates strong buying momentum; closing near its low indicates strong selling momentum.
Higher Volume: Volume higher than average (typically 10-20% above normal) means more market activity and stronger moves.
Volume / Avg Volume: Ratio above 1.2 (120%) shows volume is significantly higher than usual, signaling strong interest.
RVol % (Relative Volume %): Above 100% means volume is hotter than normal, increasing chances of strong moves; below 50% means low activity and possible indecision.
Delta: Difference between buying and selling volume (if available). A positive delta means buyers dominate; negative means sellers dominate.
ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength:
Below 20 means weak or no trend;
Above 25 means strong trend;
Between 20-25 is moderate trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Momentum oscillator:
Below 30 = oversold (potential buy);
Above 70 = overbought (potential sell);
Between 40-60 means neutral momentum.
MACD: Confirms momentum direction:
Positive MACD histogram bars indicate bullish momentum;
Negative bars indicate bearish momentum.
Choppiness Index: Measures how much the market is ranging versus trending:
Above 60 = very choppy/sideways market;
Below 40 = trending market.
Consolidation: When true, price is stuck in a narrow range, signaling indecision. Avoid breakout trades during this.
Quick Trading Reminder
Trade only when the trend is clear and volume is above average. Avoid trading in low volume or choppy markets.
Functionally Weighted Moving AverageOVERVIEW
An anchor-able moving average that weights historical prices with mathematical curves (shaping functions) such as Smoothstep , Ease In / Out , or even a Cubic Bézier . This level of configurability lends itself to more versatile price modeling, over conventional moving averages.
SESSION ANCHORS
Aside from VWAP, conventional moving averages do not allow you to use the first bar of each session as an anchor. This can make averages less useful near the open when price is sufficiently different from yesterdays close. For example, in this screenshot the EMA (blue) lags behind the sessionally anchored FWMA (yellow) at the open, making it slower to indicate a pivot higher.
An incrementing length is what makes a moving average anchor-able. VWAP is designed to do this, indefinitely growing until a new anchor resets the average (which is why it doesn't have a length parameter). But conventional MA's are designed to have a set length (they do not increment). Combining these features, the FWMA treats the length like a maximum rather than a set length, incrementing up to it from the anchor (when enabled).
Quick aside: If you code and want to anchor a conventional MA, the length() function in my UtilityLibrary will help you do this.
Incrementing an averages length introduces near-anchor volatility. For this reason, the FWMA also includes an option to saturate the anchor with the source , making values near the anchor more resistant to change. The following screenshot illustrates how saturation affects the average near the anchor when disabled (aqua) and enabled (fuchsia).
AVERAGING MATH
While there's nothing special about the math, it's worth documenting exactly how the average is affected by the anchor.
Average = Dot Product / Sum of Weights
Dot Product
This is the sum of element-wise multiplication between the Price and Weight arrays.
Dot Product = Price1 × Weight1 + Price2 × Weight2 + Price3 × Weight3 ...
When the Price and Weight arrays are equally sized (aka. the length is no longer incrementing from the anchor), there's a 1-1 mapping between Price and Weight indices. Anchoring, however, purges historical data from the Price array, making it temporarily smaller. When this happens, a dot product is synthesized by linearly interpolating for proportional indices (rather than a 1-1 mapping) to maintain the intended shape of weights.
Synthetic Dot Product = FirstPrice × FirstWeight + ... MidPrice × MidWeight ... + LastPrice × LastWeight
Sum of Weights
Exactly what it sounds like, the sum of weights used by the dot product operation. The sum of used weights may be less than the sum of all weights when the dot product is synthesized.
Sum of Weights = Weight1 + Weight2 + Weight3 ...
CALCULATING WEIGHTS
Shaping functions are mathematical curves used for interpolation. They are what give the Functionally Weighted Moving Average its name, and define how each historical price in the look back period is weighted.
The included shaping functions are:
Linear (conventional WMA)
Smoothstep (S curve)
Ease In Out (adjustable S curve)
Ease In (first half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out (second half of Ease In Out)
Ease Out In (eases out and then back in)
Cubic Bézier (aka. any curve you want)
In the following screenshot, the only difference between the three FWMA's is the shaping function (Ease In, Ease In Out, and Ease Out) illustrating how different curves can influence the responsiveness of an average.
And here is the same example, but with anchor saturation disabled .
ADJUSTING WEIGHTS
Each function outputs a range of values between 0 and 1. While you can't expand or shrink the range, you can nudge it higher or lower using the Scalar . For example, setting the scalar to -0.2 remaps to , and +0.2 remaps to . The following screenshot illustrates how -0.2 (lightest blue) and +0.2 (darkest blue) affect the average.
Easing functions can be further adjusted with the Degree (how much the shaping function curves). There's an interactive example of this here and the following illustrates how a degrees 0, 1, and 20 (dark orange, orange, and light orange) affect the average.
This level of configurability completely changes how a moving average models price for a given length, making the FWMA extremely versatile.
INPUTS
You can configure:
Length (how many historical bars to average)
Source (the bar value to average)
Offset (horizontal offset of the plot)
Weight (the shaping function)
Scalar (how much to adjust each weight)
Degree (how much to ease in / out)
Bézier Points (controls shape of Bézier)
Divisor & Anchor parameters
Style of the plot
BUT ... WHY?
We use moving averages to anticipate trend initialization, continuation, and termination. For a given look back period (length) we want the average to represent the data as accurately and smoothly as possible. The better it does this, the better it is at modeling price.
In this screenshot, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 9. They are both smooth, but one of them more accurately models price.
You wouldn't necessarily want to trade with these FWMA parameters, but knowing it does a better job of modeling price allows you to confidently expand the model to larger timeframes for bigger moves. Here, both the FWMA (yellow) and EMA (blue) have a length of 195 (aka. 50% of NYSE market hours).
INSPIRATION
I predominantly trade ETF derivatives and hold the position that markets are chaotic, not random . The salient difference being that randomness is entirely unpredictable, and chaotic systems can be modeled. The kind of analysis I value requires a very good pricing model.
The term "model" sounds more intimidating than it is. Math terms do that sometimes. It's just a mathematical estimation . That's it. For example, a regression is an "average regressing" model (aka. mean reversion ), and LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing) is a statistically rigorous local regression .
LOWESS is excellent for modeling data. Also, it's not practical for trading. It's computationally expensive and uses data to the right of the point it's averaging, which is impossible in realtime (everything to the right is in the future). But many techniques used within LOWESS are still valuable.
My goal was to create an efficient real time emulation of LOWESS. Specifically I wanted something that was weighted non-linearly, was efficient, left-side only, and data faithful. Incorporate trading paradigms (like anchoring) and you get a Functionally Weighted Moving Average.
The formulas for determining the weights in LOWESS are typically chosen just because they seem to work well. Meaning ... they can be anything, and there's no justification other than "looks about right". So having a variety of functions (aka. kernels) for the FWMA, and being able to slide the weight range higher or lower, allows you to also make it "look about right".
William Cleveland, prominent figure in statistics known for his contributions to LOWESS, preferred using a tri-cube weighting function. Using Weight = Ease Out In with the Degrees = 3 is comparable to this. Enjoy!
Opening Range and Market BoundariesOpening Range and Market Boundaries
This versatile and insightful indicator combines two powerful concepts frequently used by professional traders: Opening Range Analysis and Market Boundaries derived from previous high/low levels. It is specifically designed to support intraday trading strategies and helps you identify key price zones for entries, exits, and breakout confirmations.
🔍 Features & Utility
1. Opening Range Box
What it does:
Highlights the high and low of the first candle after market open (9:15 AM IST) with a shaded box. This box spans the full trading session, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, representing the key price range where the initial balance is formed.
Timeframe Compatibility:
The Opening Range box is optimized for 1-minute to 1-hour charts. It is most effective on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m) where intraday price movements and breakout patterns can be clearly observed.
Usage Tips:
Breakouts above or below the Opening Range box can signal potential directional bias for the rest of the trading day.
Price consolidating within the range may indicate a choppy or range-bound session.
Works well with volume and momentum indicators for confirmation.
2. Market Boundaries
What it does:
Plots horizontal lines at:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
Why it matters:
These levels act as natural support and resistance zones, and are commonly watched by institutional traders, making them crucial for:
Spotting reversals or breakouts
Planning stop-loss and target zones
Avoiding trades around high-rejection areas
Customization Options:
Toggle ON/OFF for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels.
Independent colors and line thickness for each level, enabling you to distinguish between different timeframes easily.
🛠️ How to Use Effectively
Use during market open:
Switch to a 5-minute or 15-minute chart during the first few candles of the session. Observe the Opening Range box formation and plan trades based on breakout direction.
Confluence Trading:
Look for price action near previous session highs/lows in confluence with the Opening Range box edges. These intersections often become high-probability zones for breakouts or reversals.
Session Preparation:
Before the market opens, analyze where the price is relative to past high/low boundaries. If it's near a weekly/monthly level, be cautious — those areas can cause whipsaws or false breakouts.
Avoid low-volume breakouts:
Use this indicator in conjunction with volume tools or price action confirmation to validate the strength of a move outside the Opening Range or Market Boundaries.
📌 Summary
This indicator is designed for intraday traders, scalpers, and swing traders who want a reliable structure to guide their decisions. It visually marks the opening balance of the market and essential higher timeframe boundaries, helping you trade with discipline and precision.

AlphaTrend++AlphaTrend++
Overview
The AlphaTrend++ is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify buy and sell opportunities in trending and volatile markets. Building on trend-following principles, it uses a modified Average True Range (ATR) calculation combined with volume or momentum data to plot a dynamic trend line. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying a colored trend line, a filled trend zone, buy/sell signals, and optional stop-loss tick labels, making it ideal for day trading or swing trading, particularly in markets like futures (e.g., MES).
What It Does
This indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the direction and momentum of a custom trend line, filtered by optional time restrictions and signal frequency logic. The trend line adapts to price action and volatility, with a filled zone highlighting trend strength. Buy/sell signals are plotted as labels, and stop-loss distances are displayed in ticks (customizable for instruments like MES). The indicator supports standard chart types for realistic signal generation.
How It Works
The indicator employs the following components:
Trend Line Calculation: A dynamic trend line is calculated using ATR adjusted by a user-defined multiplier, combined with either Money Flow Index (MFI) or Relative Strength Index (RSI) depending on volume availability. The line tracks price movements, adjusting upward or downward based on trend direction and volatility.
Trend Zone: The area between the current trend line and its value two bars prior is filled, colored green for bullish trends (upward movement) or red for bearish trends (downward movement), providing a visual cue of trend strength.
Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend line crosses above its value two bars ago, and sell signals occur when it crosses below, with optional filtering to reduce signal noise (based on bar timing logic). Signals can be restricted to a 9:00–15:00 UTC trading window.
Stop-Loss Ticks: For each signal, the indicator calculates the distance to the trend line (acting as a stop-loss level) in ticks, using a user-defined tick size (default 0.25 for MES). These are displayed as labels below/above the signal.
Time Filter: An optional filter limits signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC, aligning with active trading sessions like the US market open.
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to avoid unrealistic results associated with non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Multiplier: Adjust the ATR multiplier (default 1.0) to control trend line sensitivity. Higher values widen the stop-loss distance.
Common Period: Set the ATR and MFI/RSI period (default 14) for trend calculations.
No Volume Data: Enable if volume data is unavailable (e.g., for certain forex pairs), switching from MFI to RSI.
Tick Size: Set the tick size for stop-loss calculations (default 0.25 for MES futures).
Show Buy/Sell Signals: Toggle signal labels (default enabled).
Show Stop Loss Ticks: Toggle stop-loss tick labels (default enabled).
Use Time Filter: Restrict signals to 9:00–15:00 UTC (default disabled).
Use Filtered Signals: Enable to reduce signal frequency using bar timing logic (default enabled).
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: A blue “BUY” label below the bar indicates a potential long entry (trend line crossover, passing filters).
Sell Signal: A red “SELL” label above the bar indicates a potential short entry (trend line crossunder, passing filters).
Trend Zone: Green fill suggests bullish momentum; red fill suggests bearish momentum.
Stop-Loss Ticks: Gray labels show the stop-loss distance in ticks, helping with risk management.
Monitor Context: Use the trend line and filled zone to confirm the market’s direction before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Adaptive Trend Line: Combines ATR with MFI or RSI to create a responsive trend line that adjusts to volatility and market conditions.
Tick-Based Stop-Loss: Displays stop-loss distances in ticks, customizable for specific instruments, aiding precise risk management.
Signal Filtering: Optional bar timing logic reduces false signals, improving reliability in choppy markets.
Trend Zone Visualization: The filled zone between trend line values enhances trend clarity, making it easier to assess momentum.
Time-Restricted Trading: Optional 9:00–15:00 UTC filter aligns signals with high-liquidity sessions.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume spikes) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in highly volatile or low-liquidity markets due to ATR-based calculations.
The 9:00–15:00 UTC time filter may not suit all markets; disable it for 24-hour assets like forex or crypto.
Stop-loss tick calculations assume consistent tick sizes; verify compatibility with your instrument.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a robust, trend-following tool with customizable risk management and signal filtering, optimized for active trading sessions.

Custom Time Range Boxes + Fibs + ExtensionThis script draws two customizable time-range boxes per day, helping traders visualize key market sessions or activity windows. Each box is defined by start and end times that can be adjusted in the settings. You can also choose a custom color and extend the visual width of the box independently from the actual session time. Within each box, the indicator plots three Fibonacci levels: 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. These levels are useful for identifying potential support, resistance, or retracement zones inside the session range. The script supports two separate time blocks, allowing you to track sessions like the New York Open and Power Hour simultaneously. All lines and boxes are drawn using bar_index for precision and control. The levels and box colors match for visual consistency. Perfect for intraday traders who want to track price behavior around key times. Clean, minimal, and performance-friendly — this tool adds clarity to your session-based strategy.
Autofib Extensions | DTDHello trader comuunity!
I'm introducing another script that is part of my main day-trading strategy. We all know regardless of what strategy we use, we need to know what levels offer the least amount of risk to our trade entry and a great tool to anticipate how far a move might go or what level a move may retrace to are the Fibonacci Retracement and Extensions. This indicator combines both together, but with a twist.
The main elements of the script are:
1. Multiple Session High and Lows | Developing my first script led me to understand that measuring key times during each session provides understanding of the market's continuity. I have provided 3 "sessions' a user can define according to CST time where the script saves the high and low of that session window to produce the retracement and extensions from those plots. Currently, the levels are always plotted from low to high (with the 0 mark being the high) and negative values provided so the levels are consistent. You can toggle each session on or off.
2. Coloring Key Retracements / Extensions | I use a dark background for my charts so the default colors help me distinguish from other another indicator I use. Feel free to adjust the colors to your preference. I consider 3 different colors because of their significance. Retracements that you want to see continue fall back into the .50 to .618 level (this I consider the "Golden Zone"). While basic Elliott Wave Theory states a wave is completed near the 1.618 level (this I consider "Major Extensions"). Everything isn't noise, but minor levels in a larger sequence.
______________
Script Limitations
All of my scripts are made with the help of ChatGPT so there are going to be limitations. One current one that I have made progress on, but not fully is when you are viewing a timeframe where the candle doesn't start when a session window starts. On smaller timeframes like the 7-minute this is not an issue. However, on the hourly, if your session window starts at the half hour which the 3rd session default window does, the lines will not produce. I will hopefully have this rectified in the near future. I will open the script since none of this work is original in nature and I would love to see how others can create a better product. Also, this is mainly a futures trading tool. If you are using this on stocks you will find it not as useful if the session window is too wide since the script waits until the session window closes to calculate the extension values.
Cheers,
DTD

Schwarzman Custom ORB with Box DisplayIndicator Overview
The Schwarzman Custom ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator is a fully self-developed script designed for traders who utilize opening range breakout strategies. This indicator allows users to customize their ORB settings, apply them to historical price data, and visually connect multiple ORBs to analyze past performance. The goal is to provide traders with a tool to backtest and refine their breakout strategies based on historical ORB data.
How the Indicator Works
1️⃣ User-Defined ORB Settings
• The user selects a custom start time (hour and minute) for the ORB.
• The user defines a duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) for the ORB period.
• A timezone offset is included to adjust for different market sessions.
2️⃣ ORB High and Low Calculation
• The script records the highest and lowest prices within the selected ORB time window.
• The recorded values remain static after the ORB period ends, ensuring accurate range plotting.
3️⃣ Historical ORB Visualization
• Instead of only showing a single ORB for the current session, this indicator connects multiple ORBs across past data.
• This allows traders to visually analyze previous breakout performance.
• The plotted ORBs remain fixed and do not repaint, ensuring an accurate backtesting experience.
4️⃣ Stepline Visualization & Range Filling
• The high and low ORB levels are displayed using stepline plots to maintain clear horizontal levels.
• A shaded box is applied between the ORB high and low for better visualization.
Use Cases & Strategy Application
📌 Backtesting Historical ORBs – See how past ORBs performed under different market conditions.
📌 Custom ORB Settings – Adjust the start time and duration for different trading sessions.
📌 Multi-ORB Analysis – Connect ORBs over multiple trading days to study trends and breakouts.
📌 Breakout Strategy Optimization – Use the historical ORB connections to refine entry and exit points.
This indicator is particularly useful for day traders, scalpers, and breakout traders looking for a data-driven approach to trading.
Indicator Development & Transparency Statement
As a trader, I have tested various ORB (Opening Range Breakout) indicators available in the TradingView community. Through these experiences, I aimed to develop a version that best fits my own trading needs and strategy.
This script is a self-developed ORB tool, created from scratch while drawing inspiration from the concept of opening range breakouts, which is widely used in trading. Since I initially coded in Pine Script v4, I used ChatGPT to help refine and migrate the script to Pine Script v6 to ensure compatibility with the latest TradingView features. However, the core logic, structure, and customization were entirely designed and implemented based on my own approach.
I am making this indicator public not to violate any TradingView guidelines but to share my work with the trading community and provide a tool that can help others analyze ORB-based strategies. If there are any compliance concerns, I am open to adjusting the script accordingly, but I want to clarify that this is not a copy of any existing ORB script—it is a custom-built indicator tailored to my own trading preferences.
I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the community and would welcome any specific feedback from TradingView regarding rule compliance.
Best regards,
Janko S. (Schwarzman)

Multi VWAPThe Multi-VWAP Indicator is a versatile tool designed to plot up to three Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) lines simultaneously, each anchored to a user-defined period. This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of price action across multiple timeframes, making it ideal for analyzing trends, support, and resistance levels.
Key Features:
Multiple Anchoring Options:
Each VWAP can be independently anchored to one of the following periods:
Session: Resets at the start of each trading day.
Week: Resets at the start of each week.
Month: Resets at the start of each month.
Quarter: Resets at the start of each quarter.
Year: Resets at the start of each year.
User Customization:
Choose the anchoring period for each VWAP line via dropdown menus.
Assign distinct colors to each VWAP for better visual differentiation.
Dynamic Price Source:
The VWAP calculation is based on the average price (hlc3) by default but can be modified by the user to use other price inputs.
Clear Visualization:
Displays three separate VWAP lines simultaneously, helping traders identify confluences or divergences in price action across timeframes.
Use Cases:
Intraday Trading: Use session-anchored VWAP to track intraday trends and mean reversion points.
Swing Trading: Combine weekly and monthly VWAPs to identify longer-term support and resistance levels.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Visualize how price interacts with VWAPs from different periods to spot key zones of interest.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to incorporate VWAP into their strategies while maintaining flexibility to adapt to various market conditions.
Daily High/Low Levels with mitigationThis Pine Script script defines a TradingView indicator named "Daily High/Low Levels" designed to track and display the daily high and low levels of a trading session, with added functionality for marking levels as mitigated when certain conditions are met. Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
Key Features
Session Start Time: The script allows you to specify a custom session start time in 24-hour format. This ensures the levels align with your trading session preferences.
Daily Highs and Lows:
Tracks the high and low levels for each session.
Retains the highs and lows for a configurable number of previous days.
Visualization:
Creates horizontal lines for each session's high and low levels.
Supports customization of line colors and styles.
Mitigation Tracking:
Monitors whether a high or low level has been "mitigated" (touched or exceeded by subsequent price action).
Changes the line style and color to indicate mitigation.
Provides an alert when mitigation occurs.
Configurable Extensions:
Lines can be extended beyond mitigation or stopped at the bar index where mitigation occurs, depending on user preference.
Efficient Array Management:
Uses arrays to manage daily highs, lows, their respective indices, and lines.
Ensures the size of stored data does not exceed the configured limit (daysToTrack).
Alerts:
Sends alerts when high or low levels are mitigated, which can be used for trading decisions.
Inputs
Session Start Hour/Minute: Defines when a new session starts.
Days to Track: Sets the number of previous days to display high/low levels.
Colors: Allows customization of line colors for unmitigated and mitigated levels.
Extend Lines: Toggles whether lines should extend past the mitigation point.
Code Highlights
New Session Detection: The script detects the start of a new session based on the configured session start time and resets daily highs/lows.
Line Management: Horizontal rays are created for highs and lows, and mitigated lines are updated with a dashed style and faded color.
Mitigation Logic: The script checks whether current price action exceeds stored high or low levels and updates their status and appearance accordingly.
Memory Management: Ensures the size of the arrays (highs, lows, lines) does not exceed the configured daysToTrack, deleting the oldest elements as necessary.
This indicator is highly customizable and useful for traders who want to track and analyze daily support and resistance levels, incorporating mitigation as a dynamic feature.
First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset### Indicator Overview: First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset
This indicator is designed for traders who want to track the high and low of the first 5-minute candle of a trading session, specifically starting at 9:30 am EST (New York time) by default. The lines representing these levels, known as the "Opening Range Breakout" (ORB) levels, are extended across the trading session until the market close at 4:00 pm EST. The indicator provides the following features:
1. **Real-Time Updates**:
- As the first 5-minute candle of the session forms (from 9:30 am to 9:35 am EST), the indicator dynamically updates the high and low lines.
- After the candle completes, the lines are locked in place and extend horizontally across the chart until market close.
2. **Customizable Hour Offset**:
- Users can adjust the start time of the session by specifying an hour offset. This feature is particularly useful for traders operating in different time zones or those who want to analyze custom session times.
- For example, if you trade in a time zone where the session starts at 8:30 am local time instead of 9:30 am EST, you can set the hour offset to `-1` to adjust the start time accordingly.
3. **Visual Labels**:
- The indicator places labels at the end of the lines, clearly marking the "5m ORB High" and "5m ORB Low" levels. These labels are updated in real-time as the first 5-minute candle forms and are fixed in place once the candle closes.
### How to Adjust the Settings:
1. **Hour Offset**:
- **Description**: The hour offset allows you to shift the start time of the session. The default start time is 9:30 am EST, but you can change this using the hour offset.
- **How to Adjust**:
- Open the indicator settings.
- Locate the "Hour Offset" field.
- Enter a positive or negative integer value to shift the session start time.
- **Example**:
- `0` (default): Start at 9:30 am EST.
- `-1`: Start at 8:30 am EST.
- `+1`: Start at 10:30 am EST.
- The indicator will then track the first 5-minute candle starting at the adjusted time and plot the high and low accordingly.
2. **Line and Label Appearance**:
- The lines representing the ORB levels are green by default, and the labels are also green with white text for clear visibility on the chart. The labels are positioned to the right of the lines to avoid cluttering the chart.
### Use Cases:
- **Opening Range Breakout Strategy**: Traders often use the ORB strategy to identify potential breakout points during the trading day. By marking the high and low of the first 5-minute candle, this indicator helps traders quickly identify key levels where price might break out or reverse.
- **Custom Session Analysis**: If you trade in a different time zone or need to analyze a different session (e.g., pre-market or after-hours), the hour offset feature allows you to adapt the indicator to your needs.
This indicator is particularly valuable for intraday traders who rely on the initial volatility of the trading session to make informed decisions.

ICT Silver Bullet | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Silver Bullet" strategy. The strategy has 5 steps for execution and works best in 1-5 min timeframes. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Silver Bullet Strategy
Customizable Execution Settings
2 NY Sessions & London Session
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
ICT's Silver Bullet strategy has 5 steps :
1. Mark your market sessions open (This indicator has 3 -> NY 10-11, NY 14-15, LDN 03-04)
2. Mark the swing liquidity points
3. Wait for market to take down one liquidity side
4. Look for a market structure-shift for reversals
5. Wait for a FVG for execution
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart. You can switch execution types between FVG and MSS.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Silver Bullet concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Execution Type -> FVG execution type will require a FVG to take an entry, while the MSS setting will take an entry as soon as it detects a market structure-shift.
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
FVG Detection -> "Same Type" means that all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). "All" means that bar types may vary between bullish / bearish.
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You can turn this setting on and off. If it's off, any 3 consecutive bullish / bearish bars will be calculated as FVGs. If it's on, the size of FVGs will be filtered by the selected sensitivity. Lower settings mean less but larger FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails.
Close Position @ Session End -> If this setting is enabled, the current position (if any) will be closed at the beginning of a new session, regardless if it hit the TP / SL zone. If it's off, the position will be open until it hits a TP / SL zone.
The only Indicator you need
Maybe even a bit more than you need.
Gives you the option to color the bars based on Trading Sessions (Asia, London and US).
Session timings are based on UTC-4, but can be changed individually as needed.
Helps keeping a clear view of what happened during the Sessions without having to stack multiple Session Indicators, or having the background of your chart looking like a rainbow.
Keeping it plain and simple.
Also has the Option for plotting previous Weeks High and Low on Chart.
Found this to be helpful in determining Price behaviour in these Areas.
Also has an option to color the chart background for different time periods.
Helps marking News Releases on the Chart and avoid entering a Trade before major releases.
Has 2 presets for 30min / 2h into US Session and 2 Custom Timeperiods. All can of course be changed as you see fit.
Colors and plotting can obviously be changed as usual.
I am thankful for further Input and Ideas!
Projected VolumeOverview
The indicator displays the expected volume up to the closing time of the session.
Calculations
The real volume is proportional to the projected volume, just as elapsed session time is proportional to entire trading session. Knowing the actual volume, the elapsed time of the session and the total time of the trading session, it is possible to find out the projected volume.
How It Works
On the last volume bar, the indicator shows the projected volume overlapped with the real volume.
How To Use
Assuming that any price movement is of little relevance if not confirmed with considerable volume, if a strong signal appears on the intraday chart but with low volume, we can overlook it as the projected volume on the daily chart is high and indicates that there is a high chance of directional movement for the day. In short, even if we have an entry signal with low volume on the intraday chart, it will still be viable to open a trade as long as on the daily chart the projected volume is high, i.e, above the moving average.
Inputs
Use 24 hours in Trading Hours input for nonstop markets, like crypto and forex, or set the specific trading hours for other market types like stocks. The projected volume will be displayed on all timeframes if the value is equal to 24. For other values it will be displayed on the 1-day chart only.
[RickAtw] O1 Opening Market LineThis indicator helps to identify current support and resistance based on the opening of the Asian, London and New York sessions.
Function
You can make good trade entries based on these lines. Shows daily and weekly openings of each session
It will also help you to look at which session you are currently trading)
Purple ----> Asian session
Red ----> London session
Blue ----> New York session
Key Signal
buy ---> A strong buy signal is a bounce from the low and the presence of a weekly or day open line.
sell ---> A strong sell signal is a bounce from the maximum and the presence of a weekly or day open line.
P.S. Be sure to test on your pair!
Remarks
This will help you determine the approximate area of support and resistance.
Since we cannot look into the future, it does not inform you about the exact records, but a possible change in trends.
Readme
In real life, I am a professional investor. And I check each of my indicators on my portfolio and how effective it is. I will not post a non-working method. The main thing is to wait for the beginning of trends and make money!
I would be grateful if you subscribe ❤️
Sessions_for_cryptoCoinCollege's article found that between September 1, 2019 and January 15, 2020, Bitcoin price movements tended to be the most driven by US time.
Japan time was the least active. This is similar to forex.
In the article, it was defined as follows:
NY time: 00:00 to 8:00 (NYK時間)
Tokyo time: 8: 00-16: 00 (TKY時間)
London time: 16:00 to 00:00 (LDN時間)
This indicator colors the time zone according to its definition.

Intraday BUY/SELL & AUTO SL (5-min timeframe only) by chaitu50c)Intraday BUY/SELL & AUTO SL (5-min timeframe only) by chaitu50c
This indicator provides intraday traders with BUY/SELL reversal signals and automated SL (Stoploss) tracking, based on a 3-candle reversal block logic — designed to work exclusively on the 5-min timeframe.
Key Features:
• 3-Candle Reversal Logic — Signals are generated when a defined 3-candle reversal pattern is detected (body-close breakout).
• Current Session Only — All signals and SL lines are valid only for the current session and automatically reset at session start.
• BUY/SELL Signal Labels — Visual ▲ and ▼ labels mark valid reversal signals on the chart.
• Dynamic Auto SL Lines — Plots dashed SL lines based on the reversal block's low/high.
• SL HIT Tracking — If SL is broken, the line stops extending and a ‘SL HIT’ label is displayed at the midpoint of the SL line.
• Adjustable Visual Settings — Customize signal label size, SL line width, colors, and more.
• Clean & Lightweight — Optimized for intraday use without cluttering the chart.
How to Use:
You can trade this indicator in two ways:
1. Direct Signal Entry — Take a BUY or SELL trade when a valid ▲/▼ reversal signal forms.
2. SL HIT Re-entry — If an existing SL line is broken and ‘SL HIT’ appears, you can optionally take an opposite side trade in the direction of the SL HIT.
Example:
A BUY signal is generated and an SL line is plotted below.
If price breaks the SL (SL HIT appears), you may consider entering a SELL trade at that point — as it indicates weakness.
Important Notes:
• Works only on 5-min timeframe — Set your chart to 5-min for correct behavior.
• Designed for intraday trading — all signals and SL levels reset at session start.
• Does not carry signals between sessions.
• SL lines and HIT labels provide a clear and simple visual aid for trade management.

Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands (ETH & RTH)A Pine Script indicator designed to plot a midpoint line based on the high and low prices of a user-defined trading session (typically Extended Trading Hours, ETH) and to add dynamic standard deviation (StdDev) bands around this midpoint.
Session Midpoint Line:
The midpoint is calculated as the average of the session's highest high and lowest low during the defined ETH period (e.g., 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
This line represents a central tendency or "fair value" for the session, similar to a pivot point or volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchor.
Interpretation:
Prices above the midpoint suggest bullish sentiment, while prices below indicate bearish sentiment.
The midpoint can act as a dynamic support/resistance level, where price may revert to or react at this level during the session.
Dynamic StdDev Bands:
The bands are calculated by adding/subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation of the midpoint values (tracked in an array) from the midpoint.
The standard deviation is dynamically computed based on the historical midpoint values within the session, making the bands adaptive to volatility.
Interpretation:
The upper and lower bands represent potential overbought (upper) and oversold (lower) zones.
Prices approaching or crossing the bands may indicate stretched conditions, potentially signaling reversals or breakouts.
Trend Identification:
Use the midpoint as a reference for the session’s trend. Persistent price action above the midpoint suggests bullishness, while below indicates bearishness.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm trend direction.
Support/Resistance Trading:
Treat the midpoint as a dynamic pivot point. Price rejections or consolidations near the midpoint can be entry points for mean-reversion trades.
The StdDev bands can act as secondary support/resistance levels. For example, price reaching the upper band may signal a potential short entry if accompanied by reversal signals.
Breakout/Breakdown Strategies:
A strong move beyond the upper or lower band may indicate a breakout (bullish above upper, bearish below lower). Confirm with volume or momentum indicators to avoid false breakouts.
The dynamic nature of the bands makes them useful for identifying significant price extensions.
Volatility Assessment:
Wider bands indicate higher volatility, suggesting larger price swings and potentially riskier trades.
Narrow bands suggest consolidation, which may precede a breakout. Traders can prepare for volatility expansions in such scenarios.
The "Full Day Midpoint Line with Dynamic StdDev Bands" is a versatile and visually intuitive indicator well-suited for day traders focusing on session-specific price action. Its dynamic midpoint and volatility-adjusted bands provide valuable insights into support, resistance, and potential reversals or breakouts.
