MACD X SignalsThis is a fundamental signal indicator based on MACD crossovers. It enhances the standard MACD by adding visual labels that classify signals based on their location relative to the Zero Line. This helps identify whether a trend is reversing, continuing, or potentially overextended.
Signal Legend:
B (Reversal): Bullish crossover in the Negative Zone .
B+ (Neutral): Bullish crossover in the Middle Zone .
B- (Trend): Bullish crossover in the Positive Zone
S : MACD crossing down (Bearish signal).
Indikatoren und Strategien
Trendlines & SR ZonesIt's a comprehensive indicator (Pine Script v6) that represents two powerful technical analysis tools: automatic trendline detection based on pivot points and volume delta analysis with support/resistance zone identification. This overlay indicator helps traders identify potential trend directions and key price levels where significant buying or selling pressure has occurred.
Features: =
1. Price Trendlines
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trendlines based on pivot points, creating dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Components:
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable left and right bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows
Trendline Filtering: Only draws downward-sloping resistance trendlines and upward-sloping support trendlines
Zone Creation: Creates filled zones around trendlines based on average price volatility
Automatic Management: Maintains only the 3 most recent significant trendlines to avoid chart clutter
Customization Options:
Left/Right Bars for Pivot: Adjust sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 10 bars each side)
Extension Length: Control how far trendlines extend past the second pivot (default: 50 bars)
Average Body Periods: Set the lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 100)
Tolerance Multiplier: Adjust the width of the trendline zones (default: 1.0)
Color Customization: Separate colors for high (resistance) and low (support) trendlines and their fills
2. Volume Delta % Bars
The indicator analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify significant supply and demand zones.
Key Components:
Volume Profile Analysis: Divides the price range into rows and calculates volume delta at each level
Delta Visualization: Displays horizontal bars showing the percentage difference between buying and selling volume
Zone Identification: Automatically identifies the most significant supply and demand zones
Visual Integration: Connects volume delta bars with corresponding support/resistance zones on the price chart
Customization Options:
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars to analyze for volume (default: 200)
Price Rows: Control the granularity of the volume analysis (default: 50 rows)
Delta Sections: Adjust the number of horizontal delta bars displayed (default: 20)
Panel Appearance: Customize width, position, and direction of the delta panel
Zone Settings: Control the number of supply/demand zones and their extension (default: 3 zones)
How It Works-
Trendline Logic:
The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows based on the specified left and right bars
When a pivot is detected, it creates a horizontal line at that price level
The script then looks for the previous pivot of the same type (high or low)
It connects these pivots with a trendline, extending it based on the user-specified setting
A parallel line is created to form a zone, with the distance based on average price volatility
The script filters out invalid trendlines (upward-sloping resistance and downward-sloping support). Only the 3 most recent trendlines are maintained to prevent chart clutter
Volume Delta Logic:
The script divides the price range over the lookback period into the specified number of rows
For each bar in the lookback period, it categorizes volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This volume is assigned to the appropriate price level based on the HLC3 price.
The price levels are grouped into sections, and the net delta (bullish - bearish volume) is calculated for each Horizontal bars are drawn to represent these delta percentages.
The most significant positive and negative deltas are identified and displayed as support and resistance zones. These zones are extended to the left on the price chart and connected to the delta panel with dotted lines.
Ideal Timeframes:
The indicator is versatile and can be used across multiple timeframes, but it performs optimally on specific timeframes depending on your trading style:
For Day Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts
Why: These timeframes provide a good balance between noise reduction and sufficient volume data. The volume delta analysis is particularly effective on these timeframes as it captures intraday accumulation/distribution patterns while the trendlines remain reliable enough for intraday trading decisions.
For Swing Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Why: These timeframes offer the best combination of reliable trendline formation and meaningful volume analysis. The trendlines on these timeframes are less prone to whipsaws, while the volume delta analysis captures multi-day trading sessions and institutional activity.
For Position Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: Daily and weekly charts
Why: On these higher timeframes, trendlines become extremely reliable as they represent significant market structure points. The volume delta analysis reveals longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns that can define major support and resistance zones for weeks or months.
Timeframe-Specific Adjustments:
Lower Timeframes (1-15 minutes):
Reduce left/right bars for pivots (5-8 bars)
Decrease lookback period for volume delta (50-100 bars)
Increase tolerance multiplier (1.2-1.5) to account for higher volatility
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Increase left/right bars for pivots (15-20 bars)
Extend lookback period for volume delta (300-500 bars)
Consider increasing the number of price rows (70-100) for more detailed volume analysis
Usage Guidelines-
For Trendline Analysis:
Use the trendlines as dynamic support and resistance levels
Price reactions at these levels can indicate potential trend continuation or reversal points
The filled zones around trendlines represent areas of price volatility or uncertainty
Consider the slope of the trendline as an indication of trend strength
For Volume Delta Analysis:
The horizontal delta bars show where buying or selling pressure has been concentrated
Green bars indicate areas where buying volume exceeded selling volume (demand)
Red bars indicate areas where selling volume exceeded buying volume (supply)
The highlighted supply and demand zones on the price chart represent significant price levels
These zones can act as future support or resistance areas as price revisits them
Customization Tips:
Trendline Sensitivity: Decrease left/right bars values to detect more pivots (more sensitive) or increase them for fewer, more significant pivots
Zone Width: Adjust the tolerance multiplier to make trendline zones wider or narrower based on your trading style
Volume Analysis: Increase the lookback period for a longer-term volume profile or decrease it for more recent activity
Visual Clarity: Adjust colors and transparency settings to match your chart theme and preferences
Conclusion:
This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of both trend dynamics and volume-based support/resistance levels. With these two analytical approaches, the indicator offers valuable insights for identifying potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and key price levels where significant market activity has occurred. The extensive customization options allow traders to adapt the indicator to various trading styles and timeframes, with optimal performance on 15-minute to daily charts depending on their trading horizon.

SMC IndicatorTitle: Smart Money Concepts Market Structure
Description: This is a technical analysis tool designed to map Market Structure using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) logic. Unlike standard ZigZag indicators that often clutter the chart with repainting lines, this script focuses on delivering a clean, objective view of Trend Structure (Highs/Lows) and Structural Breaks.
The Problem It Solves: Traders often struggle to identify the valid "Swing High" or "Swing Low" in real-time. This indicator automates that process using a non-repainting detection engine, helping traders objectively spot Trend Continuations (BoS) and Potential Reversals (CHoCH).
How It Works:
1. Pivot Detection (The ZigZag Engine): The script identifies Swing Points based on a user-defined Depth and Deviation %.
High (H): A peak is confirmed when price retraces by the deviation percentage.
Low (L): A trough is confirmed when price rallies by the deviation percentage.
Ghost Line: A dotted line connects the last confirmed pivot to the current live price, allowing you to visualize the developing structure before it locks in.
2. Structure Mapping: Once pivots are confirmed, the script analyzes price action relative to those points:
BoS (Break of Structure): Trend Continuation. Triggered when price breaks a confirmed pivot in the direction of the trend (e.g., breaking a Higher High in an uptrend).
CHoCH (Change of Character): Trend Reversal. Triggered when price breaks a major pivot in the opposite direction (e.g., breaking a Higher Low in an uptrend).
Visual Features:
Minimalist Design: Uses floating text labels (no background boxes) to keep price action visible.
Color Coded: Blue/Maroon for Continuation (BoS), Aqua/Orange for Reversal (CHoCH).
Settings Guide:
ZigZag Deviation %: Set this to 5.0 for Higher Timeframes (Daily/4H) or lower it to 0.2 - 0.5 for Intraday Scalping (1m/5m).
Ghost Line: Toggle on/off to see the real-time projection.
Alerts: Full alert support included for Bullish/Bearish BoS and CHoCH signals.
Credits: Logic based on standard Price Action and Market Structure theory.
VWAP Flow ParmezanThe "Official Bank Flow VWAP" is a comprehensive trading suite designed for institutional Forex traders.
This indicator solves the problem of chart clutter by combining two critical components of liquidity: Price (Value) and Time (Sessions). It is specifically optimized for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on intraday timeframes (M5, M15), helping you identify high-probability setups where "Fair Value" meets "Volatility."
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe VWAP Hierarchy Unlike standard indicators, this tool visualizes the interaction between three distinct timeframes:
Daily VWAP (Dynamic Color): Your primary trend filter. Green when Bullish (Price > VWAP), Red when Bearish (Price < VWAP).
Weekly VWAP (Orange Dots): Represents the medium-term balance. Acts as a magnet for mean reversion mid-week.
Monthly VWAP (Purple Line): The institutional "line in the sand." Major support/resistance level.
2. Standard Deviation Bands (Market Balance) The indicator plots SD1 and SD2 bands around the Daily VWAP:
Inner Zone (SD1): Represents the "Fair Value" area.
Outer Bands (SD2): Represents overbought/oversold conditions. Useful for identifying mean reversion plays back to the center.
3. Official Exchange Sessions (Time) Forget confusing "killzones." This tool highlights the Official Open times for major exchanges, adjusted for Daylight Savings via New York time:
London Open (08:00 LDN): The start of European volume.
New York Open (08:00 NY): The injection of US liquidity.
London Close/Fix: The daily overlap close, often marking trend reversals.
Note: Sessions are visualized with non-intrusive black "shadow" backgrounds to keep your chart clean.
4. "Ghost" Levels (Previous VWAP) A unique feature that plots the closing VWAP level of the previous day. Institutional algorithms often target these "untested" levels as Take Profit targets or liquidity pools.
How to Use
Trend Following: If Price is above the Daily VWAP (Green) during the London Open, look for Long entries targeting the SD1/SD2 upper bands.
Mean Reversion: If Price hits the SD2 Band while far away from the Weekly VWAP, look for a reversal back to the mean.
Confluence: The strongest signals occur when price touches a key VWAP level (e.g., Weekly VWAP) specifically during the highlighted Session Start times.
Settings
Timezone: Defaults to America/New_York to automatically handle DST shifts for London/NY opens.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors and transparency. Default is set to a "Dark Mode" friendly professional palette.
Squeeze Momentum OscillatorTitle: Squeeze Momentum Oscillator
Description: This indicator is a panel-based oscillator designed to visualize the relationship between market volatility and momentum. Based on the classic TTM Squeeze concept, it helps traders identify periods of consolidation ("The Squeeze") and the subsequent release of energy ("The Breakout").
Originality & Enhancements: Standard squeeze oscillators only show when a squeeze fires (turning from red to green). This enhanced version adds a specific Breakout Validation layer. It changes the center-line dot color to Fuchsia or Blue only if the squeeze release is confirmed by the slope of the 20-period Moving Average, filtering out weak or false fires.
How It Works:
1. The Center Line (Volatility State): The dots along the zero line tell you the current volatility condition:
🔴 Red Dot: Squeeze ON. Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels. Volatility is compressed. The market is charging up.
🟣 Fuchsia Dot: Bullish Breakout. The squeeze has fired upward, and the underlying trend (20 SMA slope) is positive.
🔵 Blue Dot: Bearish Breakout. The squeeze has fired downward, and the underlying trend (20 SMA slope) is negative.
🟢 Green Dot: Squeeze OFF. Normal volatility conditions.
2. The Histogram (Momentum): The bars indicate the strength and direction of the price movement using Linear Regression logic:
Cyan/Green: Bullish momentum. (Darker = weakening).
Red/Maroon: Bearish momentum. (Darker = weakening).
Visual Guide:
Setup: Wait for a series of Red Dots.
Trigger: Look for the first Fuchsia (Bullish) or Blue (Bearish) dot accompanied by an expanding Histogram in the same direction.
Settings:
Feature Toggle: You can turn the "Breakout Colors" (Fuchsia/Blue) on or off if you prefer the classic look.
Sensitivity: Fully customizable lengths and multipliers for Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels.
Credits: Based on the foundational TTM Squeeze oscillator logic. Linear regression momentum calculation adapted from standard open-source methods. Breakout validation logic added for enhanced reliability.
Ultimate Squeeze & BreakoutTitle: Ultimate Squeeze & Breakout
Description: This indicator is a volatility analysis tool designed to identify periods of market compression ("The Squeeze") and validate subsequent breakouts using momentum logic. It builds upon the classic relation between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels but adds a directional filter to reduce false signals.
The Problem It Solves: Standard squeeze indicators often signal a breakout the moment price exits the bands, even if the underlying trend is weak or flat. This can lead to entering "wicks" or fakeouts. This script solves this by requiring the Basis Line Slope to align with the breakout direction before generating a signal.
How It Works:
1. Compression (The Setup) The script monitors the relationship between Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) and Keltner Channels (ATR).
Red Cloud: When the Bollinger Bands contract completely inside the Keltner Channels, it indicates a critical drop in volatility. The market is coiling and storing energy.
2. The Momentum Filter (The Validation) Unlike basic squeeze indicators, a breakout is not signaled solely by price closing outside the bands.
Logic: The script calculates the slope of the 20-period Basis Line (Simple Moving Average).
Bullish Validation: Price > Upper Band AND Basis Line is sloping UP.
Bearish Validation: Price < Lower Band AND Basis Line is sloping DOWN.
Visual Guide:
🟥 Red Cloud: Squeeze ON. Volatility is compressed. Do not trade; wait for expansion.
🟣 Fuchsia Cloud: Bullish Breakout (Price released upward + Positive Momentum).
🔵 Blue Cloud: Bearish Breakout (Price released downward + Negative Momentum).
⬜ Gray/Green Cloud: Standard Trending phase (Volatility is normal).
Features:
Precision Inputs: Multipliers for Standard Deviation and ATR can be adjusted in 0.01 increments for fine-tuning sensitivity.
Visual Toggles: Option to color the neutral trending cloud Green or Gray based on preference.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for "Squeeze Started" and validated "Bullish/Bearish Breakouts."
Credits: Core mechanics based on the TTM Squeeze concept popularized by John Carter. Momentum filtering logic added for enhanced signal reliability.
Simple Gap IndicatorTitle: Simple Gap Indicator
Description: This is a utility script designed to automate the tracking and management of price gaps (also known as "Windows") on the chart. Unlike static drawings, this indicator dynamically monitors open gaps and automatically "closes" them (stops drawing) once price has filled the area, keeping your chart clean and focused on active levels only.
Why Use This Tool? Traders often mark gaps manually, but charts quickly become cluttered with old, invalid levels. This script solves that problem by using an array-based management system to track every open gap in real-time and remove it the moment it is invalidated by price action.
Technical Methodology:
Gap Detection: The script identifies "Full Gaps" where the Low of the current candle is higher than the High of the previous candle (Bullish), or vice versa (Bearish). This indicates a total disconnect in price delivery.
Dynamic Filtering:
ATR Filter: Users can filter out insignificant "noise" gaps by setting a minimum size threshold based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Time Filter: Option to restrict gap detection to specific session hours (e.g., ignoring overnight gaps on 24h charts).
Auto-Closure: The script loops through all active gaps on every new bar. If the current price wick touches an open gap, the box is visually terminated at that specific bar index and removed from the tracking array.
Visuals:
Green Box: Bullish Gap (Support Zone).
Red Box: Bearish Gap (Resistance Zone).
Labels: Optional text displaying the precise Top/Bottom price coordinates of the gap.
How to Use:
Enable "Auto-Close Gap on Retest" to keep your chart clean.
Use the ATR Filter if you are getting too many signals on lower timeframes (e.g., set to 0.5x ATR).
Set alerts for "New Gap" or "Gap Filled" to automate your workflow.
Credits: Calculations based on standard Gap/Window price action theory. Array management logic custom-coded for Pine Script v6.
ADX Cloud StyleThis custom indicator visualizes the Directional Movement Index (DMI) system to help identify trend direction and intensity:
Histogram: Displays the net momentum (calculated as DI+ minus DI-). Green bars indicate that buyers are in control (bullish), while red bars indicate sellers are in control (bearish). The height of the bars represents the strength of that dominance.
Cloud (Fill): Shading between the DI+ and DI- lines. It provides a visual backdrop for the trend: green shading for an uptrend and red shading for a downtrend.
Blue Line (ADX): Measures the absolute strength of the trend, regardless of direction. A rising blue line suggests the current trend (whether up or down) is gaining strength, while a falling line suggests consolidation or a weakening trend.
WOLFGATEWOLFGATE is a clean, session-aware market structure and regime framework designed to help traders contextualize price action using widely accepted institutional references. The indicator focuses on structure, momentum alignment, and mean interaction, without generating trade signals or predictions.

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR

## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background

## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused
□ Account size: Minimum $10,000 recommended
□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

Session Range Control [PointAlgo]Session Range Control (SRC)
The Session Range Control (SRC) indicator provides a structured view of intraday price behavior by tracking where the current price sits within the session’s high–low range and how today’s volatility compares to the Average Daily Range (ADR). It combines range analytics, momentum context, volatility interpretation, and visual cues to help traders understand session strength and shifts in intraday conditions.
Core Concept
Every trading session forms a unique high and low. SRC continuously reads these values and calculates the Position in Range, expressed on a scale from 0% to 100%:
0% → Price at Day Low
100% → Price at Day High
50% → Mid-range equilibrium
By normalizing price into a percentage, traders can quickly interpret where market pressure is concentrated during the session.
Trend Zones and Market State
SRC divides the range into logical zones to show the likely sentiment of the session:
1. Strong Uptrend Zone (Above Threshold)
When price consistently holds above the user-defined upper threshold (e.g., 60%), the indicator marks a Strong Uptrend.
This typically reflects:
Persistent intraday buying pressure
Price acceptance near the upper part of the range
Reduced likelihood of deep pullbacks
2. Strong Downtrend Zone (Below Threshold)
When price remains below the lower threshold (e.g., 40%), SRC signals a Strong Downtrend, indicating:
Dominant intraday selling
Consistent pressure keeping price near session lows
3. Bullish / Bearish Zones
Between the midline and strong thresholds, SRC displays softer trend zones:
Above 50% = Bullish Zone
Below 50% = Bearish Zone
These zones help classify whether price is trending, balanced, or drifting.
4. Neutral Territory
When price hovers around the mid-level without conviction, the indicator treats it as a neutral or undecided phase.
Signal Logic :
SRC includes built-in momentum shift signals based on range transitions:
Long Signal
Triggered when price crosses upward through 50%, often showing:
A shift from intraday weakness to strength
Buyers gaining control of the session
Short Signal
Triggered when price crosses downward through 50%, suggesting:
Loss of intraday strength
Sellers taking control
These signals help highlight potential turning points inside the session.
Extreme Levels :
SRC highlights the top and bottom 10% of the range:
> 90% = Extreme High (Overbought intraday condition)
< 10% = Extreme Low (Oversold intraday condition)
These conditions can be useful for identifying overextended movements or potential reaction zones.
ADR Comparison and Volatility Context :
The indicator also measures how today’s price range compares to the Average Daily Range (ADR):
Range Expanding: Today’s range is significantly larger than the ADR
Indicates heightened volatility
Often associated with trending or breakout environments
Range Compressing: Today’s range is much smaller
Suggests low volatility
Common before breakout phases
Characteristic of consolidation or balanced markets
This volatility context helps traders assess whether the session is behaving within normal boundaries or deviating significantly.
Dashboard Overview :
When enabled, the dashboard summarizes key intraday metrics in a structured table:
Trend status (Strong Uptrend, Strong Downtrend, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
Range position (%)
Signal status (Long Cross, Short Cross, Extreme High/Low, or None)
Day range calculation
Range vs ADR (%)
Day High / Day Low
Current price level
Simplified action label based on current conditions
This provides a quick reference system to interpret both trend and volatility at a glance without analyzing the full chart visually.
Visual Elements
SRC includes:
Colored dynamic plot for easy trend recognition
Horizontal reference lines at key levels (0%, 50%, 100%, strong-trend thresholds)
Background shading during extreme zone conditions
A separate ADR comparison plot
These visuals ensure the indicator remains intuitive regardless of chart style or timeframe.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for:
Long cross
Short cross
Strong trend detection
Extreme high / extreme low
These allow users to automate notifications during key market events without manually monitoring the chart.
Customization Options
Users can configure:
ADR length
Strong trend thresholds
Dashboard visibility
Dashboard position on chart
This makes SRC adaptable to different trading instruments and intraday styles.
Usage Notes
Works best on intraday timeframes where session boundaries are clearly defined.
Designed for analytical interpretation—trend bias, volatility phase, and range structure.
Can complement other tools such as moving averages, volume, or market structure analysis.
Disclaimer :
This indicator is intended for chart analysis and educational purposes only.
It does not generate financial, investment, or trading advice.
Users should validate signals with additional research and apply proper risk management.
Optimal Daily MA Suite [MTF]Title: Optimal Daily MA Suite
Description: This is a comprehensive Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis suite designed to streamline chart layouts. Instead of loading multiple separate indicators to track various trend lines, this single tool allows traders to overlay higher-timeframe Moving Averages and key support/resistance levels directly onto their intraday charts.
Utility & Workflow: Swing traders and day traders often need to monitor "Big Picture" Daily Moving Averages (like the Daily 200 SMA or Daily 50 EMA) while executing trades on lower timeframes like the 15m or 1H. This tool automates that process, ensuring the major trend context is always visible without cluttering the indicator list.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Engine: By default, all MAs are calculated on the Daily ("D") timeframe, regardless of the chart's current timeframe. This creates a stable "anchor" for trend analysis. The timeframe is fully customizable in the settings (e.g., set to "W" for Weekly analysis).
10 Customizable Slots: Toggle up to 10 different Moving Averages on/off individually.
Flexible Calculation Types: Supports SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA (SMMA), and SWMA for every single line.
Trend Cloud Crossovers: Includes two dedicated "Cloud" setups to visualize crossovers (e.g., Golden Cross or Death Cross) with fill shading between the fast and slow lines.
Price Action Crossovers: Optional markers to highlight when the closing price crosses specific MAs.
Contextual Levels: Includes Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) markers for immediate intraday support/resistance context.
How to Use:
Settings: Open the settings menu to select your "Indicator Timeframe" (Default: Daily).
Customization: Enable only the MAs relevant to your strategy (e.g., Enable MA 8 for the 50 SMA and MA 10 for the 200 SMA).
Clouds: Use the "Crossover Set" inputs to define a Bullish/Bearish trend cloud between two moving averages of your choice.
Technical Note: This script uses request.security with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to ensure no repainting of historical data while providing accurate higher-timeframe values on closed bars.
Credits: Standard Moving Average calculations based on TradingView built-in functions.
AlgoZ Smart Divergence [Trend Filtered]AlgoZ Smart Divergence is a precision entry tool designed to catch market reversals by analyzing Volume Divergence combined with Multi-Timeframe Trend Filtering. Unlike standard divergence indicators that signal on every minor price fluctuation, this script uses a strict set of filters to only present high-probability trade setups that align with the broader market trend.
This is the Free Edition of the AlgoZ Suite, focused on providing clean, non-repainting Buy and Sell signals based on institutional volume flow.
How It Works The script operates on a 3-step validation process:
Volume Divergence:
It detects anomalies where volume spikes relative to price action (e.g., Price makes a Lower Low, but Volume hits a Higher High).
HTF Trend Painting:
It analyzes a Higher Timeframe (Default: 3 Hours) to determine the macro trend. If the 3H trend is Bullish, the candles turn Green. If Bearish, they turn Red.
Color Match Filtering:
The script includes a smart filter that blocks signals that go against the trend. You will only see BUY signals when the candles are Green (Uptrend) and SELL signals when the candles are Red (Downtrend).
Key Features
Volume Divergence Engine:
Identifies hidden accumulation and distribution zones.
HTF Trend Coloring:
Automatically paints your chart based on Higher Timeframe breakouts (Default: 3-Hour Trend).
Smart Signal Filtering:
Toggles are available to "Only Show Signals Matching Candle Color," ensuring you never trade against the momentum.
EMA Trend Filter:
Includes a built-in 10-period EMA filter to further refine entries.
Volatility Filters:
Optional RSI and ADX filters are included to avoid trading during low-volatility "chop."
How to Use
For Longs (Buys):
Wait for the candles to turn Green (indicating the 3-Hour trend is up) and look for a BUY label. The price must also be above the 10 EMA (if enabled).
For Shorts (Sells):
Wait for the candles to turn Red (indicating the 3-Hour trend is down) and look for a SELL label.
Risk Management:
This script is designed to catch reversals. Always place your Stop Loss below the recent swing low (for buys) or above the swing high (for sells).
Settings
Higher Timeframe:
Default is set to 3 Hours (180 minutes). You can adjust this to 1 Day or 4 Hours depending on your trading style.
EMA Length:
Default is 10.
Color Match Filter:

NYSE Open Close Session Map by o0psiNYSE Open Close Session Map by o0psi
This indicator highlights the regular US cash session window (default 09:30–16:00 New York time) and makes the key session bars obvious on the chart.
What it shows
A marker on the session OPEN bar
A marker on the session CLOSE bar (last in-session candle)
Optional background highlight for the full session window
Optional labels for the session high and session low bars (based on intraday price during the session)
How it works
The script detects bars inside the selected session window (New York timezone). It anchors OPEN on the first in-session bar, updates the session high/low while the session is active, then anchors CLOSE on the final in-session bar and labels the high/low bars where they occurred.
Notes
Session range precision depends on chart timeframe (lower timeframes capture extremes more precisely).

MenthorQ Levels ConversionLevels Conversion helps traders accurately overlay price levels from spot/index ETFs and indices (like SPX, SPY, QQQ, NDX) onto futures charts (like ES, NQ, etc.).
Because futures and spot/index prices don’t trade at the same price, your levels will be misaligned if you plot them directly. Futures typically trade at a spread or ratio versus their related index/ETF. This indicator solves that by calculating the conversion ratio automatically, so your levels stay aligned on the futures chart.
How it works
This script calculates the ratio between Asset A and Asset B and applies it to convert levels from one instrument to the other (for example, SPX → ES, QQQ → NQ).
Ratio options (3 modes)
You can choose one of three ratio sources:
✅ T1 Ratio (Morning Snapshot)
Select a specific time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 10:00 AM ET (morning session snapshot)
✅ T2 Ratio (Afternoon Snapshot)
Select a second time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 3:30 PM ET (afternoon snapshot)
✅ Last Price Ratio (Live)
Uses the last traded price of both assets to compute the ratio.
Note: To refresh the “Last Price” baseline, simply remove and re-add the indicator.

POI Zones with Imbalance- Ahmed AwadHighlights Point of Interest (POI) zones on the chart where a significant price imbalance occurs between the candle’s open and close. The indicator draws semi-transparent orange zones to mark potential buy or sell areas, helping traders spot strong price moves and key levels. Adjustable imbalance threshold and transparency for flexibility.
Liquidity Entry Triggers (4-Model System) | WarRoomXYZLiquidity Entry Triggers is an open-source, price-action-based analytical framework designed to highlight recurring institutional liquidity behaviors that appear across all liquid markets.
The script focuses on how and where liquidity is taken, rather than attempting to predict direction using oscillators or lagging indicators.
It is optimized for XAUUSD, FX pairs, indices, and crypto , particularly on 1m–15m timeframes where session behavior and liquidity reactions are most visible.
This tool is not a buy/sell signal generator .
It provides contextual entry zones based on structural liquidity logic, allowing traders to apply their own execution rules.
Core Philosophy
Markets move because of:
•Trapped traders
•Forced liquidations
•Session-based liquidity cycles
•Reactions at prior institutional participation zones
This script visualizes four repeatable entry triggers that emerge from those mechanisms.
🔹 1. Failed Breakout / Trapped Trader Model
When price breaks a clearly defined range high or low, breakout traders often enter expecting continuation.
If price fails to hold outside the range and closes back inside, those traders become trapped.
The script detects:
•Breaks beyond recent highs/lows
•Immediate rejection back into the range
•Structural failure of momentum
These conditions frequently lead to mean reversion or reversal moves as trapped traders exit and fuel movement in the opposite direction.
Markers are plotted at the point of failure to highlight potential trap zones.
🔹 2. Liquidation Flush Detection
Sharp impulsive candles with abnormally large wicks often represent liquidation cascades rather than healthy trend continuation.
The script identifies liquidation behavior by measuring:
•Wick-to-body imbalance
•Sudden expansion followed by rejection
•Temporary price inefficiencies
These flushes commonly occur near:
•Session highs/lows
•Range extremes
•Trend exhaustion points
Such events often lead to rebalance moves , where price partially or fully fills the wick.
🔹 3. Orderblock Reaction Zones
Orderblocks represent areas where heavy participation occurred before a strong displacement move.
The script highlights:
•Clean bullish and bearish orderblock structures
•Zones formed during consolidation prior to expansion
•Areas likely to be defended when revisited
Orderblocks with minimal noise and clean departure are prioritized, as they often reflect institutional positioning rather than retail activity.
These zones are intended as reaction areas , not automatic entry signals.
🔹 4. London Session Liquidity Sweep Model
The London session frequently establishes the initial daily high or low.
Later in the session or during New York, price often:
•Sweeps internal liquidity around that level
•Rejects after the sweep
•Continues with the higher-timeframe bias
The script monitors London session behavior and marks:
•Liquidity runs above/below London highs and lows
•Rejections back inside the prior structure
This model is especially effective when combined with broader daily context.
🔹4. How the Components Work Together
The framework is designed as a context stack , not a checklist of signals:
Liquidity Event → Location → Timing → Trader Execution
Each model reinforces the others:
•Failed breakouts often occur after liquidity sweeps
•Liquidation wicks frequently form near orderblocks
•London sweeps often trigger failed momentum moves
•Confluence increases probability, not certainty
🔹 Practical Usage Guide
✔ Identify context
Determine whether price is approaching a range extreme, session level, or prior participation zone.
✔ Wait for a liquidity event
Look for a sweep, failed breakout, or liquidation wick.
✔ Observe reaction
Rejection, displacement, or reclaim behavior provides confirmation.
✔ Execute manually
Stops are commonly placed beyond the liquidity extreme.
Targets are typically internal liquidity, prior highs/lows, or imbalance zones.
The indicator does not manage trades or enforce rules.
Execution and risk management remain the trader’s responsibility.
🔹 5. Originality & Design Notes
This script does not replicate or bundle existing indicators.
It introduces:
•A multi-model liquidity entry framework
•Structural failed breakout detection
•Wick-based liquidation imbalance logic
•Session-aware liquidity sweep visualization
•A unified, minimal, non-lagging design
All concepts are based on observable market behavior and integrated into a single analytical tool.
🔹 6. Suitable Markets & Timeframes
Works best on:
•XAUUSD
•Major FX pairs
•Indices
•Liquid crypto markets
Recommended timeframes:
•1m
•5m
•15m
•30m
🔹7. Limitations & Notes
•This is an analytical framework , not a trading system
•All markings are confirmed at candle close (non-repainting)
•No open interest or order flow data is used
•Results depend on user interpretation and execution
•Best used alongside session bias and higher-timeframe structure

PatternTransitionTablesPatternTransitionTables Library
🌸 Part of GoemonYae Trading System (GYTS) 🌸
🌸 --------- 1. INTRODUCTION --------- 🌸
💮 Overview
This library provides precomputed state transition tables to enable ultra-efficient, O(1) computation of Ordinal Patterns. It is designed specifically to support high-performance indicators calculating Permutation Entropy and related complexity measures.
💮 The Problem & Solution
Calculating Permutation Entropy, as introduced by Bandt and Pompe (2002), typically requires computing ordinal patterns within a sliding window at every time step. The standard successive-pattern method (Equations 2+3 in the paper) requires ≤ 4d-1 operations per update.
Unakafova and Keller (2013) demonstrated that successive ordinal patterns "overlap" significantly. By knowing the current pattern index and the relative rank (position l) of just the single new data point, the next pattern index can be determined via a precomputed look-up table. Computing l still requires d comparisons, but the table lookup itself is O(1), eliminating the need for d multiplications and d additions. This reduces total operations from ≤ 4d-1 to ≤ 2d per update (Table 4). This library contains these precomputed tables for orders d = 2 through d = 5.
🌸 --------- 2. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND --------- 🌸
💮 Permutation Entropy
Bandt, C., & Pompe, B. (2002). Permutation entropy: A natural complexity measure for time series.
doi.org
This concept quantifies the complexity of a system by comparing the order of neighbouring values rather than their magnitudes. It is robust against noise and non-linear distortions, making it ideal for financial time series analysis.
💮 Efficient Computation
Unakafova, V. A., & Keller, K. (2013). Efficiently Measuring Complexity on the Basis of Real-World Data.
doi.org
This library implements the transition function φ_d(n, l) described in Equation 5 of the paper. It maps a current pattern index (n) and the position of the new value (l) to the successor pattern, reducing the complexity of updates to constant time O(1).
🌸 --------- 3. LIBRARY FUNCTIONALITY --------- 🌸
💮 Data Structure
The library stores transition matrices as flattened 1D integer arrays. These tables are mathematically rigorous representations of the factorial number system used to enumerate permutations.
💮 Core Function: get_successor()
This is the primary interface for the library for direct pattern updates.
• Input: The current pattern index and the rank position of the incoming price data.
• Process: Routes the request to the specific transition table for the chosen order (d=2 to d=5).
• Output: The integer index of the next ordinal pattern.
💮 Table Access: get_table()
This function returns the entire flattened transition table for a specified dimension. This enables local caching of the table (e.g. in an indicator's init() method), avoiding the overhead of repeated library calls during the calculation loop.
💮 Supported Orders & Terminology
The parameter d is the order of ordinal patterns (following Bandt & Pompe 2002). Each pattern of order d contains (d+1) data points, yielding (d+1)! unique patterns:
• d=2: 3 points → 6 unique patterns, 3 successor positions
• d=3: 4 points → 24 unique patterns, 4 successor positions
• d=4: 5 points → 120 unique patterns, 5 successor positions
• d=5: 6 points → 720 unique patterns, 6 successor positions
Note: d=6 is not implemented. The resulting code size (approx. 191k tokens) exceeds the Pine Script limit of 100k tokens (as of 2025-12).
