Initial Balance with AlertsThis indicator is a comprehensive tool for Auction Market Theory (AMT) practitioners who rely on the Initial Balance (IB) to determine the day's likely structure. It automatically plots the High and Low of the opening session (user-definable) and extends those levels to provide key support and resistance zones for the remainder of the trading day.
Unlike standard IB indicators, this script features Smart Alerts that are time-filtered. You can define a specific "Active Alert Window" (e.g., RTH only) to ensure you are notified of breakouts during key hours, while avoiding spam notifications during overnight or low-volume sessions.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Initial Balance
Flexible Session: Define the exact start and end time for your IB calculation (Default: 08:30–09:30).
Visual Clarity: Plots IB High, IB Low, and the 50% Midpoint with fully customizable line styles, colors, and widths.
2. Smart Time-Filtered Alerts
Breakout Detection: Triggers an alert when price crosses above the IB High or below the IB Low.
Session Filter: Includes a unique "Allowed Alert Time" input. Alerts will only fire if the breakout happens within this window (Default: 08:30–15:00), preventing unwanted notifications during overnight chop.
3. Advanced Extensions & Targets
Extensions: Option to display multiples of the IB range (2x, 3x) to serve as statistical targets for trend days.
Intermediate Levels: Option to display half-step extensions (e.g., 1.5x) for tighter scalping targets.
4. IB Delta Analytics Dashboard
Context is Key: An optional on-screen dashboard tracks the size of the Initial Balance over the last 20 days.
Sentiment: Automatically categorizes today's IB as "Huge," "Medium," or "Small" compared to the 20-day average. This helps you anticipate if the day is likely to be a "Range Day" (Large IB) or a "Trend Day" (Small IB).
Settings Overview:
Calculation Period: The time used to measure the high and low (e.g., first 60 mins).
Allowed Alert Time: The window during which alerts are active.
Show Extra Levels: Toggles the 2x and 3x extensions.
Fill IB Areas: Adds a background color to the opening range for better visibility.
Delta Analytics: Toggles the statistics table on/off.
Author's Instructions
How to Configure the Time Settings: This script uses two distinct time inputs to give you maximum control:
"Calculation period": This is when the script measures the High and Low.
Example: 0830-0930 (The first hour of the NYSE session).
"Allowed Alert Time (RTH)": This is when the script is allowed to send you alerts.
Example: 0830-1500 (The full trading day).
Why this matters: If price breaks the IB High at 18:00 (during the overnight session), the script will ignore it if your alert time ends at 15:00. This saves you from waking up to low-probability signals.
Setting Up Alerts: To activate the alerts, add the indicator to your chart, click the "Alerts" button (clock icon) in the top toolbar, select this indicator from the "Condition" list, and choose "Any alert() function call".
Disclaimer: This tool is for informational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Single Prints and Poor Highs/Lows [Real-Time]This indicator is designed for traders utilizing Auction Market Theory (AMT) who need real-time visibility into market structure inefficiencies. Unlike standard TPO tools that often wait for closed bars or finished sessions, this script builds a developing TPO profile tick-by-tick to identify Single Prints and Poor Highs/Lows the moment they form.
Key Features:
Real-Time Single Prints: Automatically detects and highlights areas of single-print inefficiencies (buying/selling tails) as they happen. These "ghost" boxes persist on the chart until price repairs (fills) them, acting as immediate targets or support/resistance zones.
Poor High/Low Detection: Strictly implements AMT logic to identify "unfinished" auctions. If a session extreme is formed by two or more TPO blocks (indicating a flat top/bottom rather than a rejection tail), it marks the level with a dotted line.
Repair Logic: Both Single Prints and Poor High/Low lines are dynamic. If price revisits and repairs the structure, the markers automatically vanish to keep your chart clean.
Session Control: Fully customizable RTH (Regular Trading Hours) session input (default 08:30–15:15) to ensure profiles are built on relevant liquidity.
Quantization: Adjustable "Ticks per Block" allowing you to tune the sensitivity of the TPO profile to different assets (ES, NQ, CL, etc.).
How It Works:
TPO Construction: The script breaks the session into 30-minute periods (configurable) and tracks price overlap.
Single Prints: When the market expands rapidly, leaving gaps in the profile (single TPO blocks), a box is drawn. If price trades back through this box, it deletes itself.
Poor Extremes: It monitors the current session High and Low. If the extreme price level has a TPO count of ≥ 2, it is flagged as "Poor." If the extreme is a single print (count = 1), it is considered a valid tail and left unmarked.
Settings:
RTH Session: Define your specific trading session time.
TPO Period: Default is 30 minutes (standard AMT).
Ticks per Block: Controls the vertical resolution of the TPO. (Higher values = coarser profile, Lower values = more precision).
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Live Prints, Historical Prints, and Poor High/Low lines.
Usage:
Use this tool to spot immediate structural targets. A Poor High often acts as a magnet for price to revisit and "repair," while Single Prints often defend as support/resistance on the first retest.
Daily ATR Dashboard - NIRALADaily ATR Dashboard: Volatility at a Glance
What is this?
The "Daily ATR Dashboard" is a simple, non-intrusive utility tool designed for intraday traders. It places a clean information table in the top-right corner of your chart, displaying the Daily Average True Range (DATR) for the current session and the previous two days.
Why is it useful?
Understanding daily volatility is crucial for setting realistic targets and stop-losses.
Know the Range: Instantly see how much the instrument typically moves in a day.
Context: Compare today's volatility with yesterday's and the day before to gauge if the market is expanding (becoming more volatile) or contracting (consolidating).
Clean Charts: Instead of plotting a messy ATR line indicator below your price action, this dashboard gives you the raw data you need without cluttering your workspace.
Features:
Real-Time Data: The "Today" row updates in real-time as the current daily candle develops.
Historical Context: Automatically fetches and displays the final DATR values for the previous two sessions ("Yesterday" and "Day Before").
Highlighted Current Day: The current day's data is highlighted in yellow for immediate visibility.
Customizable: You can adjust the ATR length (default is 14) and the text size to fit your screen perfectly.
How to Read It:
Today: The current volatility of the ongoing daily session.
Yesterday / Day Before: The finalized volatility of past sessions.
Tip: If "Today's" ATR is significantly lower than the previous days, expect potential expansion or a breakout soon. If it is significantly higher, the market may be overextended.
Settings:
DATR Length: The lookback period for the ATR calculation (Default: 14).
Text Size: Adjust the size of the table text (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).

LibTmFrLibrary "LibTmFr"
This is a utility library for handling timeframes and
multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis in Pine Script. It provides a
collection of functions designed to handle common tasks related
to period detection, session alignment, timeframe construction,
and time calculations, forming a foundation for
MTF indicators.
Key Capabilities:
1. **MTF Period Engine:** The library includes functions for
managing higher-timeframe (HTF) periods.
- **Period Detection (`isNewPeriod`):** Detects the first bar
of a given timeframe. It includes custom logic to handle
multi-month and multi-year intervals where
`timeframe.change()` may not be sufficient.
- **Bar Counting (`sinceNewPeriod`):** Counts the number of
bars that have passed in the current HTF period or
returns the final count for a completed historical period.
2. **Automatic Timeframe Selection:** Offers functions for building
a top-down analysis framework:
- **Automatic HTF (`autoHTF`):** Suggests a higher timeframe
(HTF) for broader context based on the current timeframe.
- **Automatic LTF (`autoLTF`):** Suggests an appropriate lower
timeframe (LTF) for granular intra-bar analysis.
3. **Timeframe Manipulation and Comparison:** Includes tools for
working with timeframe strings:
- **Build & Split (`buildTF`, `splitTF`):** Functions to
programmatically construct valid Pine Script timeframe
strings (e.g., "4H") and parse them back into their
numeric and unit components.
- **Comparison (`isHigherTF`, `isActiveTF`, `isLowerTF`):**
A set of functions to check if a given timeframe is
higher, lower, or the same as the script's active timeframe.
- **Multiple Validation (`isMultipleTF`):** Checks if a
higher timeframe is a practical multiple of the current
timeframe. This is based on the assumption that checking
if recent, completed HTF periods contained more than one
bar is a valid proxy for preventing data gaps.
4. **Timestamp Interpolation:** Contains an `interpTimestamp()`
function that calculates an absolute timestamp by
interpolating at a given percentage across a specified
range of bars (e.g., 50% of the way through the last
20 bars), enabling time calculations at a resolution
finer than the chart's native bars.

buildTF(quantity, unit)
Builds a Pine Script timeframe string from a numeric quantity and a unit enum.
The resulting string can be used with `request.security()` or `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
quantity (int) : series int Number to specifie how many `unit` the timeframe spans.
unit (series TFUnit) : series TFUnit The size category for the bars.
Returns: series string A Pine-style timeframe identifier, e.g.
"5S" → 5-seconds bars
"30" → 30-minute bars
"120" → 2-hour bars
"1D" → daily bars
"3M" → 3-month bars
"24M" → 2-year bars
splitTF(tf)
Splits a Pine‑timeframe identifier into numeric quantity and unit (TFUnit).
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Timeframe string, e.g.
"5S", "30", "120", "1D", "3M", "24M".
Returns:
quantity series int The numeric value of the timeframe (e.g., 15 for "15", 3 for "3M").
unit series TFUnit The unit of the timeframe (e.g., TFUnit.minutes, TFUnit.months).
Notes on strings without a suffix:
• Pure digits are minutes; if divisible by 60, they are treated as hours.
• An "M" suffix is months; if divisible by 12, it is converted to years.
autoHTF(tf)
Picks an appropriate **higher timeframe (HTF)** relative to the selected timeframe.
It steps up along a coarse ladder to produce sensible jumps for top‑down analysis.
Mapping → chosen HTF:
≤ 1 min → 60 (1h) ≈ ×60
≤ 3 min → 180 (3h) ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 240 (4h) ≈ ×48
≤ 15 min → D (1 day) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular session 6.5–8 h)
> 15 min → W (1 week) ≈ ×64–×80 for 30m; varies with input
≤ 1 h → W (1 week) ≈ ×32–×40
≤ 4 h → M (1 month) ≈ ×36–×44 (~22 trading days / month)
> 4 h → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×36–×66 (e.g., 12h→×36–×44; 8h→×53–×66)
≤ 1 day → 3M (3 months) ≈ ×60–×66 (~20–22 trading days / month)
> 1 day → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×(252–264)/quantity
≤ 1 week → 12M (1 year) ≈ ×52
> 1 week → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×(208)/quantity
= 1 M → 48M (4 years) ≈ ×48
> 1 M → error ("HTF too big")
any → error ("HTF too big")
Notes:
• Inputs in months or years are restricted: only 1M is allowed; larger months/any years throw.
• Returns a Pine timeframe string usable in `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or `timeframe.period`).
Returns: series string Suggested higher timeframe.
autoLTF(tf)
Selects an appropriate **lower timeframe LTF)** for intra‑bar evaluation
based on the selected timeframe. The goal is to keep intra‑bar
loops performant while providing enough granularity.
Mapping → chosen LTF:
≤ 1 min → 1S ≈ ×60
≤ 5 min → 5S ≈ ×60
≤ 15 min → 15S ≈ ×60
≤ 30 min → 30S ≈ ×60
> 30 min → 60S (1m) ≈ ×31–×59 (for 31–59 minute charts)
≤ 1 h → 1 (1m) ≈ ×60
≤ 2 h → 2 (2m) ≈ ×60
≤ 4 h → 5 (5m) ≈ ×48
> 4 h → 15 (15m) ≈ ×24–×48 (e.g., 6h→×24, 8h→×32, 12h→×48)
≤ 1 day → 15 (15m) ≈ ×26–×32 (regular sessions ~6.5–8h)
> 1 day → 60 (60m) ≈ ×(26–32) per day × quantity
≤ 1 week → 60 (60m) ≈ ×32–×40 (≈5 sessions of ~6.5–8h)
> 1 week → 240 (4h) ≈ ×(8–10) per week × quantity
≤ 1 M → 240 (4h) ≈ ×33–×44 (~20–22 sessions × 6.5–8h / 4h)
≤ 3 M → D (1d) ≈ ×(20–22) per month × quantity
> 3 M → W (1w) ≈ ×(4–5) per month × quantity
≤ 1 Y → W (1w) ≈ ×52
> 1 Y → M (1M) ≈ ×12 per year × quantity
Notes:
• Ratios for D/W/M are given as ranges because they depend on
**regular session length** (typically ~6.5–8h, not 24h).
• Returned strings can be used with `request.security()` and `input.timeframe`.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe (e.g., "D", "240", or timeframe.period).
Returns: series string Suggested lower TF to use for intra‑bar work.
isNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Returns `true` when a new session-aligned period begins, or on the Nth bar of that period.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target higher timeframe (e.g., "D", "W", "M").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → checks for the first bar of the new period.
1+ → checks for the N-th bar of the period.
Returns: series bool `true` if the condition is met.
sinceNewPeriod(tf, offset)
Counts how many bars have passed within a higher timeframe (HTF) period.
For daily, weekly, and monthly resolutions, the period is aligned with the trading session.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Target parent timeframe (e.g., "60", "D").
offset (simple int) : simple int 0 → Running count for the current period.
1+ → Finalized count for the Nth most recent *completed* period.
Returns: series int Number of bars.
isHigherTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
higher resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` > active TF; otherwise `false`.
isActiveTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents the
exact resolution of the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` == active TF; otherwise `false`.
isLowerTF(tf, main)
Returns `true` when the selected timeframe represents a
lower resolution than the active timeframe.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string Selected timeframe.
main (bool) : series bool When `true`, the comparison is made against the chart's main timeframe
instead of the script's active timeframe. Optional. Defaults to `false`.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` < active TF; otherwise `false`.
isMultipleTF(tf)
Returns `true` if the selected timeframe (`tf`) is a practical multiple
of the active skript's timeframe. It verifies this by checking if `tf` is a higher timeframe
that has consistently contained more than one bar of the skript's timeframe in recent periods.
The period detection is session-aware.
Parameters:
tf (string) : series string The higher timeframe to check.
Returns: series bool `true` if `tf` is a practical multiple; otherwise `false`.
interpTimestamp(offStart, offEnd, pct)
Calculates a precise absolute timestamp by interpolating within a bar range based on a percentage.
This version works with RELATIVE bar offsets from the current bar.
Parameters:
offStart (int) : series int The relative offset of the starting bar (e.g., 10 for 10 bars ago).
offEnd (int) : series int The relative offset of the ending bar (e.g., 1 for 1 bar ago). Must be <= offStart.
pct (float) : series float The percentage of the bar range to measure (e.g., 50.5 for 50.5%).
Values are clamped to the range.
Returns: series int The calculated, interpolated absolute Unix timestamp in milliseconds.

TrendMaster Pro 2.3 with Alerts
Hello friends,
A member of the community approached me and asked me how to write an indicator that would achieve a particular set of goals involving comprehensive trend analysis, risk management, and session-based trading controls. Here is one example method of how to create such a system:
Core Strategy Components
Multi-Moving Average System - Uses configurable MA types (EMA, SMA, SMMA) with short-term (9) and long-term (21) periods for primary signal generation through crossovers
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter - Optional trend confirmation using a separate MA (default 50-period) to ensure trades align with broader market direction
Band Power Indicator - Dynamic high/low bands calculated using different MA types to identify price channels and volatility zones
Advanced Signal Filtering
Bollinger Bands Volatility Filter - Prevents trading during low-volatility ranging markets by requiring sufficient band width
RSI Momentum Filter - Uses customizable thresholds (55 for longs, 45 for shorts) to confirm momentum direction
MACD Trend Confirmation - Ensures MACD line position relative to signal line aligns with trade direction
Stochastic Oscillator - Adds momentum confirmation with overbought/oversold levels
ADX Strength Filter - Only allows trades when trend strength exceeds 25 threshold
Session-Based Trading Management
Four Trading Sessions - Asia (18:00-00:00), London (00:00-08:00), NY AM (08:00-13:00), NY PM (13:00-18:00)
Individual Session Limits - Separate maximum trade counts for each session (default 5 per session)
Automatic Session Closure - All positions close at specified market close time
Risk Management Features
Multiple Stop Loss Options - Percentage-based, MA cross, or band-based SL methods
Risk/Reward Ratio - Configurable TP levels based on SL distance (default 1:2)
Auto-Risk Calculation - Dynamic position sizing based on dollar risk limits ($150-$250 range)
Daily Limits - Stop trading after reaching specified TP or SL counts per day
Support & Resistance System
Multiple Pivot Types - Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, and Camarilla calculations
Flexible Timeframes - Auto-adjusting or manual timeframe selection for S/R levels
Historical Levels - Configurable number of past S/R levels to display
Visual Customization - Individual color and display settings for each S/R level
Additional Features
Alert System - Customizable buy/sell alert messages with once-per-bar frequency
Visual Trade Management - Color-coded entry, SL, and TP levels with fill areas
Session Highlighting - Optional background colors for different trading sessions
Comprehensive Filtering - All signals must pass through multiple confirmation layers before execution
This approach demonstrates how to build a professional-grade trading system that combines multiple technical analysis methods with robust risk management and session-based controls, suitable for algorithmic trading across different market sessions.
Good luck and stay safe!
SessionRangeLevels_v0.1SessionRangeLevels_v0.1
Overview:
SessionRangeLevels_v0.1 is a customizable Pine Script (v6) indicator designed to plot key price levels based on a user-defined trading session. It identifies the high and low of the session and calculates intermediate levels (75%, 50% "EQ", and 25%) within that range. These levels are projected forward as horizontal lines with accompanying labels, providing traders with dynamic support and resistance zones. The indicator supports extensive customization for session timing, time zones, line styles, colors, and more.
Key Features:
Session-Based Range Detection: Tracks the high and low prices during a specified session (e.g., 0600-0900) and updates them dynamically as the session progresses.
Customizable Levels: Displays High, 75%, EQ (50%), 25%, and Low levels, each with independent toggle options, styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), colors, and widths.
Session Anchor: Optional vertical line marking the session start, with customizable style, color, and width.
Projection Offset: Extends level lines forward by a user-defined number of bars (default: 24) for future price reference.
Labels: Toggleable labels for each level (e.g., "High," "75%," "EQ") with adjustable size (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large).
Time Zone Support: Aligns session timing to a selected time zone (e.g., America/New_York, UTC, Asia/Tokyo, etc.).
Alert Conditions: Triggers alerts when the price crosses any of the plotted levels (High, 75%, EQ, 25%, Low).
Inputs:
Session Time (HHMM-HHMM): Define the session range (e.g., "0600-0900" for 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM).
Time Zone: Choose from options like UTC, America/New_York, Europe/London, etc.
Anchor Settings: Toggle the session start line, adjust its style (default: Dotted), color (default: Black), and width (default: 1).
Level Settings:
High (Solid, Black, Width 2)
75% (Dotted, Blue, Width 1)
EQ/50% (Dotted, Orange, Width 1)
25% (Dotted, Blue, Width 1)
Low (Solid, Black, Width 2)
Each level includes options to show/hide, set style, color, width, and label visibility.
Projection Offset: Number of bars to extend lines (default: 24).
Label Size: Set label size (default: Small).
How It Works:
The indicator detects the start and end of the user-defined session based on the specified time and time zone.
During the session, it tracks the highest high and lowest low, updating the levels in real-time.
At the session start, it plots the High, Low, and intermediate levels (75%, 50%, 25%), projecting them forward.
Lines and labels dynamically adjust as new highs or lows occur within the session.
Alerts notify users when the price crosses any active level.
Usage:
Ideal for traders who focus on session-based strategies (e.g., London or New York open). Use it to identify key price zones, monitor breakouts, or set targets. Customize the appearance to suit your chart preferences and enable alerts for real-time trading signals.
Notes:
Ensure your chart’s timeframe aligns with your session duration for optimal results (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts for short sessions).
The indicator overlays directly on the price chart for easy integration with other tools.

Killzones & Previous High-Low Liquidity [odnac]This indicator is designed for use in intraday trading to visualize key "Killzones" (specific time windows during different global market sessions) and highlight liquidity levels based on previous highs and lows from the previous day and week.
It helps traders identify potential market entry and exit points based on time-based trading zones and price action levels.
Key Features:
Killzone (Market Session Timeframes):
Asia (2000-0000 UTC): Displays a shaded box over the Asia trading session.
Europe (0200-0500 UTC): Highlights the European trading session.
New York AM (0830-1100 UTC): Represents the morning session of the NY market.
New York PM (1330-1600 UTC): Represents the afternoon session of the NY market.
Each of these timeframes can be customized in terms of session start and end times, and the shaded areas will help identify high liquidity periods when the market tends to be more active.
Previous High-Low Liquidity Zones:
Previous Week's High/Low: Displays lines at the high and low of the previous week.
These are important liquidity levels that can influence price action.
Previous Day's High/Low: Shows the high and low from the previous trading day.
These are also significant levels to watch for potential support and resistance.
Filters and Customization:
Position Filtering: The indicator allows users to filter out previous highs or lows if the current price doesn't align with those levels.
For example, it can filter out previous week highs if the current price is lower than that level.
Vertical Lines: Optional vertical lines to highlight key time points such as the start and end of the previous week and day.
How It Works:
The indicator visually draws "killzones" as shaded regions on the chart, indicating periods of increased market activity.
This can help traders align their strategies with the most liquid periods of the day.
The previous high and low lines (both for the previous week and the previous day) are drawn as solid lines and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Labels are added to indicate the specific levels and periods.
The indicator provides clear visual cues, helping traders assess if the price is near important liquidity levels and whether the current market conditions align with those levels.
Customizable Settings:
You can control whether each Killzone and liquidity level is shown on the chart.
Color customization for the various zones and lines is also available.
The indicator also lets you decide whether to hide weekend data, set time-frame limits, and choose whether or not to show vertical lines at the beginning and end of each trading session.
This indicator is aimed at traders who want to trade based on high-liquidity periods and understand where key support and resistance levels are likely to emerge based on previous price action.
ADX Breakout Strategy█ OVERVIEW
The ADX Breakout strategy leverages the Average Directional Index (ADX) to identify and execute breakout trades within specified trading sessions. Designed for the NQ and ES 30-minute charts, this strategy aims to capture significant price movements while managing risk through predefined stop losses and trade limits.
This strategy was taken from a strategy that was posted on YouTube. I would link the video, but I believe is is "against house rules".
█ CONCEPTS
The strategy is built upon the following key concepts:
ADX Indicator: Utilizes the ADX to gauge the strength of a trend. Trades are initiated when the ADX value is below a certain threshold, indicating potential for trend development.
Trade Session Management: Limits trading to specific hours to align with optimal market activity periods.
Risk Management: Implements a fixed dollar stop loss and restricts the number of trades per session to control exposure.
█ FEATURES
Customizable Stop Loss: Set your preferred stop loss amount to manage risk effectively.
Trade Session Configuration: Define the trading hours to focus on the most active market periods.
Entry Conditions: Enter long positions when the price breaks above the highest close in the lookback window and the ADX indicates potential trend strength.
Trade Limits: Restrict the number of trades per session to maintain disciplined trading.
Automated Exit: Automatically closes all positions at the end of the trading session to avoid overnight risk.
█ HOW TO USE
Configure Inputs :
Stop Loss ($): Set the maximum loss per trade.
Trade Session: Define the active trading hours.
Highest Lookback Window: Specify the number of bars to consider for the highest close.
Apply the Strategy :
Add the ADX Breakout strategy to your chart on TradingView.
Ensure you are using a 30-minute timeframe for optimal performance.
█ LIMITATIONS
Market Conditions: The strategy is optimized for trending markets and may underperform in sideways or highly volatile conditions.
Timeframe Specific: Designed specifically for 30-minute charts; performance may vary on different timeframes.
Single Asset Focus: Primarily tested on NQ and ES instruments; effectiveness on other symbols is not guaranteed.
█ DISCLAIMER

Trading involves significant risk, and you may incur substantial losses. Always perform your own analysis and consider your financial situation before using this or any other trading strategy.

NY 5M ORB-COMEX OpenThe indicator is designed to display dynamic and static key market levels, including Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels, Initial Daily Range (IDR), and other important session levels. It offers extensive customization to accommodate a variety of trading strategies and sessions, all while providing an adaptable user interface for traders to personalize their charts.
#### Key Features:
1. **Session Timings**:
- The script allows you to define regular and extended market hours. These timings can be adjusted using input fields for the market open range, session start, and session end times, with default settings for the U.S. stock market.
2. **Opening Range Breakout (ORB)**:
- You can enable or disable lines for the High/Low (H/L) and Open/Close (O/C) of the first 5-minute candle, which are key for ORB strategies.
- Optional middle lines are provided for both H/L and O/C, offering additional reference points for price action.
3. **Multiple Plot Styles and Line Types**:
- The script includes customization for line styles (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted) and colors for ORB, IDR, and session markers, giving traders flexibility in visualizing key market levels.
4. **Dynamic and Static Levels**:
- Users can choose to display either dynamic or static lines for additional price levels that extend throughout the session. Dynamic levels automatically adapt based on the session’s high and low, while static levels are manually configured.
- These lines can also display labels with the option to turn on or off their visibility.
5. **Custom Time Zone and Session Adjustments**:
- The script offers full flexibility in adjusting session timings based on different time zones, which is crucial for global traders working in different markets.
6. **Background Shading**:
- You can add shading between high and low levels for a more visual representation of ranges during specific sessions (e.g., ORB or IDR), and customize the color and transparency of this background.
7. **Comex Open Indicator**:
- An additional feature highlights the Comex Open, with optional labels, making it useful for traders who follow commodities markets.
#### Known Issues:
- The indicator requires a chart with intraday time frames (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute) for accurate display.
- Extensive customization may lead to performance issues on lower-end machines or in high-frequency chart environments due to the number of drawn elements (lines, boxes, labels).
This indicator is suitable for advanced traders who need detailed control over their session timing and price level analysis, with multiple layers of customization for visualizing key market behaviors.

Expanded Features of Mxwll Price Action Suite
Internal and External Structures
Internal Structures: These elements refer to the price formations and patterns that occur within a smaller scope or a specific trading session. The suite can detect intricate details like minor support/resistance levels or short-term trend reversals.
External Structures: These involve larger, more significant market patterns and trends spanning multiple sessions or time frames. This capability helps traders understand overarching market directions.
Customizable Sensitivities
Adjusting sensitivity settings allows users to tailor the indicator's responsiveness to market changes. Higher sensitivity can catch smaller fluctuations, while lower sensitivity might focus on more significant, reliable market moves.
Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH)
BoS: This feature identifies points where the price breaks a significant structure, potentially indicating a new trend or a trend reversal.
CHoCH: Detects subtle shifts in the market's behavior, which could suggest the early stages of a trend change before they become apparent to the broader market.
Order Blocks and Market Phases
Order Blocks: These are essentially price levels or zones where significant trading activities previously occurred, likely pointing to the positions of smart money.
HH/LH/LL/LH Areas: Identifying Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH) helps in understanding the trend and market structure, aiding in predictive analysis.
Rolling Timeframe Highs/Lows and Volume Comparisons

Strategic Entry/Exit Points: By identifying order blocks and using Fibonacci levels, traders can pinpoint strategic entry and exit points, maximizing potential returns.
Risk Management: Enhanced features like session countdowns and volume intensity help in better risk management by providing traders with more data on market sentiment and potential volatility.
ICT Seek & Destroy Profile [TFO]The goal of this indicator is to anticipate potentially "choppy" New York trading sessions, based on what price does during the Asia and London trading sessions. Based on some user-defined success criteria, we can also track how successful these warnings are.
Many Inner Circle Trader (ICT) students have noted that choppy New York sessions are often preceded by erratic London sessions which take both the high and low of the Asian range.
When this criteria is true and warnings are enabled, a table will automatically populate with a custom warning message for the duration of the NY session, indicating to the user that it could be a choppy trading day.
We can measure and track the success rate of these warnings via the following success criteria:
- NY stays within London range
- NY exceeds London high and low
- NY closes within London range
- NY range is too small
The first three criteria should be self explanatory - the NY range either stays within the London high & low, exceeds them both, or closes within them.
The last criteria is a measure of the New York range compared to a user defined standard deviation of all historical ranges (for the number of sessions that the current chart can load). The default value of 1.5 would imply that a "successful" S&D day could be if the NY range (from high to low) was less than or equal to 1.5 standard deviations of all past ranges.
All these options can be toggled on/off as well, for those that only want to consider certain success criteria and not others. When any of the selected success criteria are true, that essentially indicates that the current session's warning was successful.
SMT - Smart Money Thursday Boxes
The Smart Money Trading Thursday - is a very specific trading system. You only trade it on a Thursday.
The script/indicator will color Thursdays as two boxes. If you just want one color, use same color for
both boxes. The boxes is there to indicate London/New York sessions.
SETTINGS
In the setting you find a numeric value as 1700-0400:5
The "5" indicate Thursday. You can change that if you prefer to color another specific day.
For example "4" would indicate Wednesday. And you can change the hours to fit your
sessions and trading style.
You can also use the 2 boxes on different days. If you for example would like to color up
London for Wednesday and Thursday. Then set hours to fit London session and adjust the
:5 to 4 on the 1st box and 5 on the 2nd.
HOW TO USE IT?
The Smart Money works in a way retail trading does not. Smart Money has an objective
to locate retail patterns, where there will be a lot of stop loss volume to be grabbed.
So when a retail trader see a setup like a "Double Top / Bottom". The Institutional
will see $$$ of dumb money, ready to be taken. The best moves happen on a Thursday
but if you are a skilled trader, you can see the move also occur on Wednesday or Friday.
The first thing that will happen, is that the Smart Money Breaks out of session. Meaning
they will leave the current weeks high/low range. To start collect negative contracts
of the retail volume.
When you see that happen. And you see a breakout that consist of 4 in a row 1 hour
chart candles. Then you have your first rule meet.
#1 Thursday breakout of current weeks high/low. And the move is a clean 4 hour move
as 4x H1 candles. The move can start within range. But must end clearly outside.
Visual Example:
#2 Next, we await an engulf at peak or near peak. That is where Institutional
may have problem to match any more contracts, and since they used their own
money to make this move. They must now mitigate orders, and return back to
the original retail pattern as most retail traders are now stopped out.
(Normally this is a long/clear candle out of range. they rarely go lower
then retail traders entry in the 1st push. This to not save any souls :)
#3 Price returns back to where the breakout from the retail happens.
You can now take your profit as a Smart Money Trader. Trading with less risk,
you can take profit of the return of that latest 4x H1 candle move. (Order
Block)
CONCLUSION
The best trade is when you can combine a retail pattern, followed by a
breakout which holds 4x 1 hour candles in the outbreak direction.
2nd best is when you have the 4x H1 breakout and really no clear retail
pattern. Still is the same game. Just not as clear as the one above.
Study the steps in this image and you see what to look after:
Good Luck with your trading!
