**KEY DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER ORB INDICATORS:**
- You see **ALL 3 ORB PERIODS SIMULTANEOUSLY** (5min, 15min, 30min)
- Targets calculated from **30min ORB ONLY** (not 5min or 15min)
- **NO BOX FILLS** - clean line-only display for sniper precision
- Auto-disappears at session end (no clutter from old sessions)
---
## 🔘 NEW FEATURE: ORB DISPLAY TOGGLES
**You now have FULL CONTROL over which ORB periods to display!**
```
In indicator settings → "ORB Display" section:
☑ Show 5min ORB → Toggle blue lines ON/OFF
☑ Show 15min ORB → Toggle cyan lines ON/OFF
☑ Show 30min ORB → Toggle purple lines ON/OFF
USE CASES:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. FOCUS MODE (30min only)
☐ 5min ☐ 15min ☑ 30min
→ Clean chart, just your primary trading range
→ Best for beginners or minimalist traders
2. EARLY WARNING MODE (5min + 30min)
☑ 5min ☐ 15min ☑ 30min
→ See early breaks with 5min, trade 30min confirmation
→ Reduces visual noise from 15min
3. CONFLUENCE MODE (all 3 ORBs)
☑ 5min ☑ 15min ☑ 30min
→ Maximum information, all alignment signals
→ For advanced traders seeking highest probability
4. INTRADAY SCALP MODE (5min only)
☑ 5min ☐ 15min ☐ 30min
→ Ultra-fast entries on 5min breaks
→ High-risk, high-frequency approach
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRO TIP: Start with 30min only, then add 5min/15min as you gain experience

## 🎯 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
```

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ 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)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 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

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades

## 🏆 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
```

Session Highlighter with Kill Zones [Exponential-X]Session Highlighter with Kill Zones
Overview
This indicator provides comprehensive visualization of major forex trading sessions (Asian, London, and New York) with integrated kill zone detection and real-time session analytics. It helps traders identify optimal trading times by highlighting high-volatility periods and tracking session-specific price ranges.
What Makes This Original
While session indicators are common, this script uniquely combines several features that work together:
Kill Zone Integration: Highlights specific high-volatility windows within sessions (London: 02:00-05:00 EST, NY: 08:30-11:00 EST) when institutional activity typically peaks
Session Overlap Detection: Automatically detects and highlights when major sessions overlap (London-NY, Asian-London) with distinct visual cues
Real-Time Range Tracking: Calculates and displays percentage-based session ranges as they develop, not just historical data
Dynamic Statistics Dashboard: Live table showing current active session, session times, and comparative range percentages
Customizable Visual System: Flexible styling options including background shading, box overlays, and configurable line styles for session boundaries
How It Works
Session Detection Logic
The script uses timezone-normalized session detection based on EST/EDT times. It converts the current bar's timestamp to New York time and determines which session(s) are active using minute-based calculations. This approach ensures accurate session detection regardless of your chart's timezone settings.
Kill Zones
Kill zones represent periods within sessions when institutional traders are most active. The London kill zone (02:00-05:00 EST) captures pre-London open volatility, while the NY kill zone (08:30-11:00 EST) aligns with US economic data releases and market open activity.
Range Calculations
Session highs, lows, and opens are tracked from the first bar of each session and updated in real-time. Range percentages are calculated as: ((High - Low) / Low) × 100 , providing a volatility measure that's comparable across different instruments and price levels.
Visual System
Background shading: Color-coded zones for each session
Session boxes: Outline entire session ranges
H/L lines: Dynamic lines showing current session extremes
Open lines: Reference levels from session start
Overlap highlighting: Distinct colors when multiple sessions are active simultaneously
How to Use
Intraday Trading: Use kill zones to time entries during high-liquidity periods
Session Breakouts: Monitor for price breaks above/below session highs/lows
Range Trading: Trade between session boundaries during consolidation
Session Continuity: Observe how price behaves as sessions transition
Volatility Assessment: Compare current session ranges to typical values
Recommended Timeframes: Works on any timeframe, but most useful on 1m to 1H charts for intraday trading.

Volume Delta Divergence Candle ColorThis indicator identifies divergences between price action and volume delta, highlighting potential reversal or continuation signals by coloring candles when buyer/seller pressure conflicts with the candle's direction.
**How It Works:**
The indicator analyzes real-time up/down volume data to detect two types of divergences:
🟣 **Seller Divergence (Fuscia)** - Occurs when a candle closes bullish (green) but the volume delta is negative, indicating more selling pressure despite the upward price movement. This suggests weak buying or potential distribution.
🔵 **Buyer Divergence (Cyan)** - Occurs when a candle closes bearish (red) but the volume delta is positive, indicating more buying pressure despite the downward price movement. This suggests weak selling or potential accumulation.
**Features:**
✓ Colors only divergent candles - non-divergent candles maintain your chart's default colors
✓ Uses actual exchange volume delta data (works best with CME futures and other instruments with tick-level data)
✓ Optional triangle markers above/below divergent candles for quick visual identification
✓ Clean, minimal design that doesn't clutter your chart
**Best Used For:**
- Identifying potential reversals or continuations
- Spotting weak price movements that may not follow through
- Confirming price action with underlying volume pressure
- Works on any timeframe with available volume delta data
**Note:** This indicator requires volume data from exchanges that provide tick-level information (CME futures, cryptocurrency exchanges, etc.). Results may vary on instruments with limited volume data.

EMA Slope Angle# EMA Slope Angle Indicator
A professional, non-repainting overlay indicator that visualizes EMA slope strength as an angle in degrees, providing instant visual feedback through dynamic EMA coloring and comprehensive trend analysis.
## ORIGINALITY
This indicator is original in its approach to slope measurement:
- **Angle-based calculation**: Uses arctangent to calculate slope as an angle in degrees (not percentage), providing a more intuitive measure of trend strength
- **Dynamic visual feedback**: Combines real-time EMA line coloring with regime detection, creating a continuous visual representation of market conditions
- **Comprehensive analysis**: Integrates angle-based trend shift signals with optional statistical analysis in a single, cohesive tool
- **Non-repainting design**: All calculations use confirmed bars only, ensuring reliable, deterministic output
## HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates the EMA slope angle using trigonometric functions:
```
Angle = arctan((EMA_current - EMA_past) / lookback_bars) × 180/π
```
This provides an intuitive measure where:
- **Steep angles** = strong trends (visualized with saturated colors)
- **Shallow angles** = weak trends (visualized with lighter colors)
- **Near-zero angles** = flat/consolidation (visualized in gray)
The EMA line color dynamically reflects:
- **Direction**: Green shades for uptrends, red shades for downtrends
- **Strength**: Color intensity based on normalized angle (stronger slopes = more saturated colors)
- **Regime**: Gray for flat conditions when angle is below threshold
## KEY FEATURES
### Dynamic EMA Coloring
- EMA line color changes continuously based on slope strength
- Color intensity reflects trend strength (50-100% opacity range)
- Instant visual feedback without cluttering the chart
### Regime Detection
- Automatically classifies market conditions: **RISING**, **FALLING**, or **FLAT**
- Configurable angle thresholds for regime classification
- Real-time regime updates on confirmed bars only
### Trend-Shift Signals
- Detects transitions from FLAT to RISING/FALLING regimes
- Visual arrows on chart when significant trend shifts occur
- Prevents signal spam by only triggering from FLAT state
- Configurable trigger thresholds for signal sensitivity
### KPI Dashboard
- Real-time angle display (rounded to 1 decimal place)
- Current regime status with color coding
- Last signal tracking (UP/DOWN/NONE)
- Positioned in top-right corner for easy reference
### Advanced Angle Statistics (Optional)
- Detailed breakdown of angle distribution across 9 granular buckets:
- 0-0.2°, 0.2-0.5°, 0.5-1°, 1-1.5°, 1.5-2°, 2-3°, 3-5°, 5-10°, >10°
- Shows count and percentage for each bucket
- Automatically resets on symbol/timeframe changes
- Useful for analyzing historical slope patterns
## SETTINGS
### Main Settings

Vortex Imbalance DetectorVortex Imbalance Detector (VID)
Core Purpose:
To spot "fresh" institutional order flow entering the market, aiming to catch the early stage of a potential reversal driven by an imbalance between aggressive buyers and sellers.
It looks for moments when a surge in buying or selling pressure coincides with a sharp acceleration in price momentum at a market extreme.
The Vortex Imbalance Detector identifies high-probability reversal points by detecting simultaneous shifts in order flow (buy/sell pressure) and price momentum acceleration.
What It Does:
Order Flow Proxy: Creates a cumulative delta-like metric using price action (body vs. range) to estimate net buying or selling pressure.
Momentum Vortex: Calculates price acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) to gauge the force behind a move.
Imbalance Signal: Triggers when both conditions align:
Flow Flip: The order flow proxy crosses above/below zero with significant strength (exceeding a threshold).
Vortex Reversal: The momentum acceleration confirms the direction (positive for buys, negative for sells).
Price Extreme: The signal occurs at a recent low (for buys) or high (for sells).
Output:
Buy Signal (▲): A bullish order flow imbalance with upward momentum acceleration at a short-term low.
Sell Signal (▼): A bearish order flow imbalance with downward momentum acceleration at a short-term high.

Quantum Darvas BoxesQuantum Darvas Boxes - The Modern Evolution
The original Darvas Box methodology, conceived by Nicolas Darvas in the 1950s, revolutionized breakout trading by identifying consolidation phases as "boxes." However, modern markets move with algorithmic speed and fractal volatility that often trigger false breakouts. Quantum Darvas Boxes were designed not as a nostalgic tribute, but as a computational upgrade. By anchoring boxes to volatility-adjusted boundaries rather than raw highs/lows, and introducing adaptive stability mechanisms, this indicator transforms a classic discretionary tool into a systematic, noise-filtered engine.
Description & Improvements
Quantum Darvas Boxes solve the three fatal flaws of the original: false breakouts, arbitrary box sizing, and lack of confirmation. Instead of drawing boxes at exact recent highs/lows, it creates volatility-buffered boundaries using ATR, ensuring breakouts require meaningful momentum. The boxes remain anchored until a confirmed close beyond the buffer occurs, preventing the constant redrawing that plagued traditional Darvas implementations. Built-in volume and RSI filters add discretionary-grade confirmation to pure price action. Visually, the system presents as a stable, semi-transparent blue zone between red (resistance) and lime (support) lines, with clear triangle signals appearing only on validated breakouts.
How It's Based on Darvas
The core philosophy remains true to Darvas' 1950s methodology:
Identify Consolidation: Finds price ranges where the market consolidates
Draw Box: Creates a "box" representing the accumulation zone
Breakout Trading: Enters when price breaks out of the box with momentum
Volatility-Adjusted Boundaries
Original: Boxes at exact highs/lows → prone to false breakouts
QDB: Boxes set at High - (ATR × Multiplier) and Low + (ATR × Multiplier)
→ Breakouts require meaningful momentum, not just price tags
→ Adapts to different volatility regimes
Signal Logic:
Long: Close above box top, previous close was inside box
Short: Close below box bottom, previous close was inside box
Ideal Settings:
For daily charts, use lookback=13 and mult=2.4.
For intraday (1H-4H), reduce to lookback=8 and mult=1.8. Enable volume filter in trending markets and RSI filter in ranging conditions.
Trade Execution: Enter long on the green triangle below the bar following a close above the red top line; enter short on the red triangle above the bar after a close below the lime bottom line. The background glow provides immediate visual confirmation.
Risk Management: Set stops at the opposite box boundary. The volatility multiplier inherently calculates a risk buffer—larger multipliers create wider, higher-conviction boxes; smaller multipliers produce more frequent, sensitive signals. This system excels in trending markets and provides clear exit/reversal points, transforming Darvas's original speculation into a quantified, repeatable edge.
XAUUSD Session Move Stats (Last 14 Days)This indicator analyzes Gold (XAUUSD) session behavior over the last 14 days and calculates how price typically moves during the Asia, London, and New York sessions.
For each session, it shows:
Average Max Up (%) – how far price moves up from session open
Average Max Down (%) – how far price moves down from session open
Average Net Close (%) – where price typically finishes relative to the session open
The data is calculated session-by-session and displayed in a table, helping traders understand session bias, volatility tendencies, and directional behavior.
Best used on intraday timeframes for session-based analysis and contextual trade planning (signals only, no automated trades).
INAZUMA Bollinger BandsThis is an indicator based on the widely used Bollinger Bands, enhanced with a unique feature that visually emphasizes the "strength of the breakout" when the price penetrates the bands.
Main Features and Characteristics
1. Standard Bollinger Bands Display
Center Line (Basis): Simple Moving Average (\text{SMA(20)}).
1 sigma Lines: Light green (+) and red (-) lines for reference.
2 sigma Lines (Upper/Lower Band): The main dark green (+) and red (-) bands.
2. Emphasized Breakout Zones: "INAZUMA / Flare" and "MAGMA"
The key feature is the activation of colored, expanding areas when the candlestick's High or Low breaks significantly outside the \pm 2\sigma bands.
Upper Side (Green Base / Flare):
When the High exceeds the +2\sigma line, a green gradient area expands upwards.
Indication: This visually suggests strong buying pressure or overbought conditions. The color deepens as the price moves further away, indicating higher momentum.
Lower Side (Red Base / Magma):
When the Low falls below the -2 sigma line, a red gradient area expands downwards.
Indication: This visually suggests strong selling pressure or oversold conditions. The color deepens as the price moves further away, indicating higher momentum.
Key Insight: This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the momentum and market excitement when the price moves outside the standard Bollinger Bands range. Use it as a reference for judging trend strength and potential entry/exit points.
Customizable Settings
You can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Length: The period used for calculating the Moving Average and Standard Deviation. (Default: 20)
StdDev (Standard Deviation): The multiplier for the band width (e.g., 2.0 for -2 sigma). (Default: 2.0)
Source: The price data used for calculation (Default: close).
MACD Trend Count ScoreThis indicator aims to confirm trends in an asset's price. This confirmation is achieved by counting the MACD bars in a calculation using the chosen timeframe. Positive and negative bars are considered in the calculation of the strength index, which indicates the current trend of that asset.
This Delta index summarizes the predominance of positive or negative bars in the MACD histogram over weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly periods, and, depending on the timeframe used, its result allows one to indicate the intensity of the current trend, according to the results it shows within the following ranges:
Acima de +60 → Strong Raise.
Entre +20 e +60 → Moderate High.
Entre -20 e +20 → Neutral.
Entre -60 e -20 → Moderate Low.

Meaning: Warning signal. The rise may encounter resistance and a cautious pullback is about to begin.
Operation: Consider reducing your holdings (selling a portion) to lock in profits and avoid experiencing wild fluctuations.
The number 13 appears:
Meaning: Strong sell signal. The upward momentum is likely to be exhausted, which is also known as "bull exhaustion".
Operation: It is recommended to liquidate your positions or significantly reduce them. Short sell (if you are trading contracts).
Zee's A+ MOMO BreakThis just shows an indicator when you have a 5 minute momentum candle that breaks PMH under specific parameters, i.e candle size, wick size, relative volume, time of day, etc. It will plot the PMH with a gold line automatically. Entry would be at the close of the MOMO break. I highly encourage you to back test your results and see how strong this setup is. Any questions feel free to comment or reach out, thanks.
