Quarterly Theory ICT 02 [TradingFinder] True Open Session 90 Min🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and fractal time. It divides time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and is designed based on the consistent repetition of these phases across all trading timeframes (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even shorter trading sessions).
Each cycle consists of four distinct phases: the first phase (Q1) is the Accumulation phase, characterized by price consolidation; the second phase (Q2), known as Manipulation or Judas Swing, is marked by initial false movements indicating a potential shift; the third phase (Q3) is Distribution, where price volatility peaks; and the fourth phase (Q4) is Continuation/Reversal, determining whether the previous trend continues or reverses.
🔵 How to Use
The central concept of this strategy is the "True Open," which refers to the actual starting point of each time cycle. The True Open is typically defined at the beginning of the second phase (Q2) of each cycle. Prices trading above or below the True Open serve as a benchmark for predicting the market's potential direction and guiding trading decisions.
The practical application of the Quarterly Theory strategy relies on accurately identifying True Open points across various timeframes.
True Open points are defined as follows :
Yearly Cycle :
Q1: January, February, March
Q2: April, May, June (True Open: April Monthly Open)
Q3: July, August, September
Q4: October, November, December
Monthly Cycle :
Q1: First Monday of the month
Q2: Second Monday of the month (True Open: Daily Candle Open price on the second Monday)
Q3: Third Monday of the month
Q4: Fourth Monday of the month
Weekly Cycle :
Q1: Monday
Q2: Tuesday (True Open: Daily Candle Open Price on Tuesday)
Q3: Wednesday
Q4: Thursday
Daily Cycle :
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asian session)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (True Open: Start of London Session)
Q3: 06:00 - 12:00 (NY AM)
Q4: 12:00 - 18:00 (NY PM)
90 Min Asian Session :
Q1: 18:00 - 19:30
Q2: 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open at 19:30)
Q3: 21:00 - 22:30
Q4: 22:30 - 00:00
90 Min London Session :
Q1: 00:00 - 01:30
Q2: 01:30 - 03:00 (True Open at 01:30)
Q3: 03:00 - 04:30
Q4: 04:30 - 06:00
90 Min New York AM Session :
Q1: 06:00 - 07:30
Q2: 07:30 - 09:00 (True Open at 07:30)
Q3: 09:00 - 10:30
Q4: 10:30 - 12:00
90 Min New York PM Session :
Q1: 12:00 - 13:30
Q2: 13:30 - 15:00 (True Open at 13:30)
Q3: 15:00 - 16:30
Q4: 16:30 - 18:00
Micro Cycle (22.5-Minute Quarters) : Each 90-minute quarter is further divided into four 22.5-minute sub-segments (Micro Sessions).
True Opens in these sessions are defined as follows :
Asian Micro Session :
True Session Open : 19:30 - 19:52:30
London Micro Session :
T rue Session Open : 01:30 - 01:52:30
New York AM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 07:30 - 07:52:30
New York PM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 13:30 - 13:52:30
By accurately identifying these True Open points across various timeframes, traders can effectively forecast the market direction, analyze price movements in detail, and optimize their trading positions. Prices trading above or below these key levels serve as critical benchmarks for determining market direction and making informed trading decisions.
🔵 Setting
Show True Range : Enable or disable the display of the True Range on the chart, including the option to customize the color.
Extend True Range Line : Choose how to extend the True Range line on the chart, with the following options:

Show More Info : Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
The Quarterly Theory ICT, by dividing time into four distinct quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and emphasizing the concept of the True Open, provides a structured and repeatable framework for analyzing price action across multiple time frames.
The consistent repetition of phases—Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal—allows traders to effectively identify recurring price patterns and critical market turning points. Utilizing the True Open as a benchmark, traders can more accurately determine potential directional bias, optimize trade entries and exits, and manage risk effectively.
By incorporating principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time, this strategy enhances market forecasting accuracy across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and shorter trading sessions. This systematic approach helps traders gain deeper insight into market structure and confidently execute informed trading decisions.
Quarterly
Quarterly Theory ICT 01 [TradingFinder] XAMD + Q1-Q4 Sessions🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system based on the concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time. It divides time into quarterly periods and accurately determines entry and exit points for trades by using the True Open as the starting point of each cycle. This system is applicable across various time frames including annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions.
Time is divided into four quarters: in the first quarter (Q1), which is dedicated to the Accumulation phase, the market is in a consolidation state, laying the groundwork for a new trend; in the second quarter (Q2), allocated to the Manipulation phase (also known as Judas Swing), sudden price changes and false moves occur, marking the true starting point of a trend change; the third quarter (Q3) is dedicated to the Distribution phase, during which prices are broadly distributed and price volatility peaks; and the fourth quarter (Q4), corresponding to the Continuation/Reversal phase, either continues or reverses the previous trend.
By leveraging smart algorithms and technical analysis, this system identifies optimal price patterns and trading positions through the precise detection of stop-run and liquidity zones.
With the division of time into Q1 through Q4 and by incorporating key terms such as Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, this system enables traders to identify market trends and make informed trading decisions using real data and precise analysis.
♦ Important Note :
This indicator and the "Quarterly Theory ICT" concept have been developed based on material published in primary sources, notably the articles on Daye( traderdaye ) and Joshuuu . All copyright rights are reserved.
🔵 How to Use
The Quarterly Theory ICT strategy is built on dividing time into four distinct periods across various time frames such as annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions. In this approach, time is segmented into four quarters, during which the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal appear in a systematic and recurring manner.
The first segment (Q1) functions as the Accumulation phase, where the market consolidates and lays the foundation for future movement; the second segment (Q2) represents the Manipulation phase, during which prices experience sudden initial changes, and with the aid of the True Open concept, the real starting point of the market’s movement is determined; in the third segment (Q3), the Distribution phase takes place, where prices are widely dispersed and price volatility reaches its peak; and finally, the fourth segment (Q4) is recognized as the Continuation/Reversal phase, in which the previous trend either continues or reverses.
This strategy, by harnessing the concepts of fractal time and smart algorithms, enables precise analysis of price patterns across multiple time frames and, through the identification of key points such as stop-run and liquidity zones, assists traders in optimizing their trading positions. Utilizing real market data and dividing time into Q1 through Q4 allows for a comprehensive and multi-level technical analysis in which optimal entry and exit points are identified by comparing prices to the True Open.
Thus, by focusing on keywords like Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, the Quarterly Theory ICT strategy acts as a coherent framework for predicting market trends and developing trading strategies.

🔵 Conclusion
Quarterly Theory ICT provides a fractal and recurring approach to analyzing price behavior by dividing time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and defining the True Open at the beginning of the second phase.
The Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases repeat in each cycle, allowing traders to identify price patterns with greater precision across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even micro-level time frames.
Focusing on the True Open as the primary reference point enables faster recognition of potential trend changes and facilitates optimal management of trading positions. In summary, this strategy, based on ICT principles and fractal time concepts, offers a powerful framework for predicting future market movements, identifying optimal entry and exit points, and managing risk in various trading conditions.

Correlated asset and Daye's Quarterly TheoryThis indicator is based on the Quarterly Theory concepts from Daye. You can find him mainly on X as traderdaye.
It works on a new panel and the quarters will be drawn over the chart of the correlated that you set on its settings.
You can use every asset to compare with the main one to make easier to find divergences between days, sessions and 90 minutes cycles.
In different timeframes, the indicator could show more or less information about quarters, but will always show the compared asset one. This is due to limitations of the candles start (for example, the Session's Q2 open won't be shown on an hourly chart because it starts after 30 minutes of candle's open).
What can this indicator do for you?
- Show the correlated asset chart.
- Show daily, session and 90 minutes cycle boxes.
- Show Midnight and every session's Q2 open.
- Make easier for the trained eye to determine if the model is AMDX or XAMD, find PO3, turtle soups, SMT divergences, etc.
Do you have any suggestion? Please, leave it on the comments. I'll try to improve this indicator regularly.
Quarterly Performance█ OVERVIEW
The Quarterly Performance indicator is designed to visualise and compare the performance of different Quarters of the year. This indicator explores one of the many calendar based anomalies that exist in financial markets.
In the context of financial analysis, a calendar based anomaly refers to patterns or tendencies that are linked to specific time periods, such as days of the week, weeks of the month, or months of the year. This indicator helps explore whether such a calendar based anomaly exists between quarters.
By calculating cumulative quarterly performance and counting the number of quarters with positive returns, it provides a clear snapshot of whether one set of quarters tends to outperform the others, potentially highlighting a calendar based anomaly if a significant difference is observed.
█ FEATURES
Customisable time window through input settings.
Tracks cumulative returns for each quarter separately.
Easily adjust table settings like position and font size via input options.
Clear visual distinction between quarterly performance using different colours.
Built-in error checks to ensure the indicator is applied to the correct timeframe.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to a chart with a 3 Month (Quarterly) timeframe.
Choose your start and end dates in the Time Settings.
Enable or disable the performance table in the Table Settings as needed.
View the cumulative performance, with Q1 in blue, Q2 in red, Q3 in green and Q4 in purple.
Multi-Timeframe Liquidity LevelsMulti-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Overview
The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels indicator automatically displays significant highs and lows from various timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly) on your current chart. This allows traders to quickly identify potential support and resistance zones without frequently switching between different timeframe charts. Additionally, the script offers extra lines for special reference points (e.g., the “Midnight” midpoint of the current day and the previous day’s open/close) to highlight potential liquidity zones even more clearly.
1. Core Idea and Benefits
Time-Saving: Instead of manually reviewing charts in different timeframes, the indicator fetches relevant high/low levels automatically and shows them on your active timeframe.
Clear Layout: Traders instantly see where the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly highs and lows lie—areas often associated with institutional orders or liquidity hunts.
Customizable: You can tailor the color scheme, line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and line width, ensuring the displayed levels fit your personal charting style.
2. How It Works
Multi-Timeframe High/Low
For each timeframe (Day, Week, Month, Quarter), the indicator references the previous candle’s high and low (high , low ).
Using request.security(...), these values are plotted on the chart you’re currently viewing.
Flexible Display
You can individually enable or disable the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly lines, depending on which levels are most relevant to your trading.
With Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted) and Line Width, you can easily emphasize certain lines you consider more important.
Additional Lines
“Midnight” Line: A theoretical midpoint between today’s high and low, which can be useful for gauging daily pivot areas.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Many traders track these reference points to anticipate market reactions. You can show or hide these lines as desired.
Automatic Line Removal & Creation
When a particular timeframe (e.g., “Show Monthly Levels”) is disabled, the script automatically removes the existing monthly lines.
Enabling it again recreates those lines without hassle.
3. Usage and Interpretation
Identifying Support and Resistance
Highs and lows from higher timeframes are often key zones for entries, exits, or major market reactions.
A Daily level may be crucial for short-term traders, whereas Monthly or Quarterly levels can indicate long-term liquidity areas.
Spotting Market Shifts
If price decisively moves above a Higher-Timeframe line, it could signal strong momentum.
Conversely, a failed breakout (where price quickly returns under or above a level) might warn of a potential reversal.
Extra Lines as Filters
The “Midnight” Line helps visualize a rough central price for the current day, aiding in intraday directional bias.
Previous Day’s Open/Close: Common reference points for day traders, where swift approaches and rejections can indicate potential entries or partial take-profit zones.
4. Practical Tips
Use Color-Coding Wisely: Assign distinct colors (e.g., Blue for Daily, Green for Weekly, Orange for Monthly, Purple for Quarterly) so you can easily discern which timeframe you’re looking at.
Toggle On/Off As Needed: Day traders might focus on Daily and Weekly, while long-term traders may pay closer attention to Monthly and Quarterly.
Combine with Price Action: Lines alone don’t constitute a trading strategy. Use them alongside candlestick patterns, volume analysis, or other indicators for a more complete market perspective.
5. Important Notes & Recommendations
Not Financial Advice: This indicator simply reflects historical high/low data across multiple timeframes and does not constitute a buy or sell recommendation.
Trader Responsibility: Observe how the market actually behaves around these lines and adapt your risk management accordingly.
Daye Quarterly Theory ~ DQT [Liquidity_Pro]Thanks
This indicator puts the time-based research of trader Daye on your chart. Daye studied the ICT killzones and macro times and presented his findings, as “Quarterly Theory” on YouTube. Thank you Daye for sharing!
This indicator is not the first, so S/O to @toodegrees, @a1tmaniac and @joshuuu for their own excellent Quarterly Theory indicators. Last but not least, huge thanks go to ICT for his trading innovation and generous free price action education and to @twingall for his insight, attention to detail and great teamwork coding this indicator.
Daye’s Quarterly Theory
First, the fundamental concept is that all units of time can be divided by four into quarters -- just as we look at the year’s corporate reporting cycle of Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.
Dividing the day by four, into six hour quarters and again into 90 minute quarters and again into 22.5 minute ‘Micro’ quarters we reach the smallest unit shown by this indicator. Apply it to your NQ1! or ES1! charts and you may see remarkable confluence with the ICT macro times!
Why would we want to do this? It helps us understand, visualize and predict ICT’s PO3 concept:
• A - Accumulation (required for a cycle to occur)
• M - Manipulation
• D - Distribution
• X - Reversal/Continuation
The bottom line - we want to sell after a manipulation (M) up, or buy after a manipulation down and Quarterly Theory plots times on your chart where this may occur. Every asset is different, so back-test and research it.
Note, this indicator always shows Q1 as the accumulation quarter (by color), but the order is not fixed and instead of AMDX may appear as XAMD, where Q1 is the Reversal/Continuation quarter. We may eventually offer an update to this indicator which would automatically transpose the quarter colors for you.
The Quarters
Yearly:
• Q1 - Jan, Feb, Mar
• Q2 - Apr, May, Jun
• Q3 - Jul, Aug, Sep

Monthly (starts with the first month’s Monday regardless of the date):
• Q1 - Week 1, first Monday of the month
• Q2 - Week 2, second Monday of the month
• Q3 - Week 3, third Monday of the month
• Q4 - Week 4, fourth Monday of the month
Weekly (Daye ignores Friday and Sunday’s price action):
• Q1 - Mon
• Q2 - Tue
• Q3 - Wed
• Q4 - Thu
Daily (times are all EST / New York):
• Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00 Asia
• Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00 London
• Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00 NY AM
• Q4 - 12:00 - 18:00 NY PM

• Q2 - 19:30 - 21:00
• Q3 - 21:00 - 22:30
• Q4 - 22:30 - 00:00
Micro (22.5 minute quarters, DQT only displays Micros on 7 minute TF or lower)
• Q1 - 18:00 - 18:22:30
• Q2 - 18:22:30 - 18:45
• Q3 - 18:45 - 19:07:30
• Q4 - 19:07:30 - 19:30
About the DQT Indicator
This indicator plots the quarterly time boxes in a panel which can be placed above or below your chart. It allows you to add labels with the opening time and dates and also place time of day markers which can be useful for anyone who wants to mark lunch, and of the trading day or perhaps a favorite ICT macro time. It also works on GOLD (CAPITALCOM), DXY (TVC), currencies and stocks in Regular Trading Hour (RTH) mode.
Note the way that the indicator displays quarters is affected by the time frame you are viewing and as a result you may notice imperfections. Also, the indicator is not tuned to work with every broker, so for example with DXY, you will see the TVC feed is displayed nicely but other feeds are not.
Settings
The DQT indicator offers a great deal of flexibility to customize the display of quarters aesthetically. But it’s designed to work out-of-the-box on both light and dark background charts. It's set up to only show 90 minute and micro quarters initially, but in the settings, you can turn on the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly quarters. Remember you will only see the Micros on the 7 minute TF or lower.
Lastly, the DQT indicator works well with our DOB indicator allowing you to visualize the confluence of high timeframe PDAs or POIs with manipulation quarters.
If you find our indicators useful, please boost, comment and share -- it's very motivational for us to develop them further and publish new ones!
Daye Quarterly Theory by toodegrees> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The Daye Quarterly Theory° tool encompasses the cyclical Time aspect of the markets as studied and developed by Daye (traderdaye on Twitter).
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Daye's tweets and material.
I collaborated directly with Daye to bring a comprehensive Time tool to Tradingview.
S/O to @a1tmaniac and @joshuuu for their previous works on this Theory.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Daye's Quarterly Cycles, and save Time while on the charts.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it reliably plots forwards in Time, allowing you to strategize and tape read efficiently; as well as calculating all the Cycles, from Micro Sessions, to the Year.
> Quarterly Theory by Daye
The underlying idea is that Time is to be divided in Quarters for correct interpretation of Market Cycles. The specific starting point of a Cycle will depend on the Timeframe at hand.
Daye being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, and are to be used hand in hand (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
These Quarters represent:
A - Accumulation (required for a cycle to occur)
M - Manipulation
D - Distribution
X - Reversal/Continuation
The latter are going to always be in this specific sequence; however the cycle can be transposed to have its beginning in X, trivially followed by A, M, and finally D.
This feature is not automatic and at the subjective discretion of the Analyst.
Note: this theory has been developed on Futures, hence its validity and reliability may change depending on the market Time.
This tool does provide a dynamic and auto-adapting aspect to different market types and Times, however they must be seen as experimental.
> Quarterly Cycles
The Quarterly Cycles currently supported are: Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 90 Minute, Micro Sessions.
– Yearly Cycle:
Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each
Q1 - January, February, March
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open)
Q3 - July, August, September
Q4 - October, November, December
Note: this Cycle is the most difficult to optimize as Timeframes become more granular due to the sheer length of its duration. With Time and advancements it will become more accurate. This is the only Cycle for which accuracy is not 100%.
– Monthly Cycle:
Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day).
Q1 - Week 1, first Monday of the month
Q2 - Week 2, second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price)
Q3 - Week 3, third Monday of the month
Q4 - Week 4, fourth Monday of the month
– Weekly Cycle:
Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action.
Q1 - Monday
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price)
Q3 - Wednesday
Q4 - Thursday
– Daily Cycle:
The Day can be broken down into 6H quarters. These Times roughly define the sessions of the Trading Day, reinforcing the Theory’s validity.
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00, Asian Session
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00, London Session (True Open, Midnight New York Time)
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00, NY Session
Q4 - 12:00 - 18:00, PM Session
Note: these Times are based on Futures Trading in New York Time, these will vary depending on the market type (experimental).
– 90 Minute Cycle:
Merely dividing one of the Daily Cycle’s Quarters we obtain 90 minute quarters. The first one in a Trading Day – 90min Cycles of the Asian Session – follows as an example, in New York Time.
Q1 - 18:00 - 19:30
Q2 - 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open)
Q3 - 21:00 - 22:30
Q4 - 22:30 - 00:00
– Micro Cycle:
Lastly, dividing a 90 Minute Cycle yields 22.5 Minute Quarters, known as Micro Sessions. An example breaking down the 90 Minute Cycle from 18:00 to 19:30 follows.
Q1 - 18:00 - 18:22:30
Q2 - 18:22:30 - 18:45 (True Open)
Q3 - 18:45 - 19:07:30
Q4 - 19:07:30 - 19:30
Note: trivially, these may not be exact unless the Timeframe is in the seconds, to correctly account for the half minute in each quarter – this said the tool is able to plot these anyways, although slight inaccuracy needs to be taken account depending on the Timeframe.
It is important to remember and be aware that the current chart’s Timeframe will heavily impact the plotted Time Cycles. This tool is in its initial form and it will be improved and adapted as traders start using it on a daily basis.
> Tool Settings
Plot Settings:
"Plot Type" will allow you to decide how the Cycles will be displayed. Out of the box the tool will be plotted on a separate pane, at the bottom of the chart; you can decide the orientation of the cycles from longest cycle at the bottom (Bottom Pane), or top (Top Pane). Alternatively you can move the tool to the chart and have the cycles plot on price (Move To -> Existing Pane Above), specifically above price (Top), or below (Bottom). The cycles will auto adjust their position based on the visible price action.
"Historical Cycles" will show previous Historical Cycles, up to where available in terms of script memory.
"Plot Size" will allow you to vary the height of the Cycle’s boxes
"Show Labels" will give you an auto-adapting legend which will help you determine which Cycle is which if you get lost.
The remaining Settings are self explanatory, allowing you to change colors, and choose which Cycles to see.
The source of the code is hidden due to the use of private libraries of mine. Happy to answer any questions in terms of code, where I will not be able to divulge any detail that concerns said libraries. Thank you for understanding!
Major thanks to Daye for his Time and Knowledge, it was a pleasure to collaborate and work together on this tool.
GLGT!
Daily Monday Weekly Monthly Quarterly Yearly High Low Mid This indicator can be useful for traders who are interested in analyzing price movements over different time periods. By displaying the daily, Monday, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly high and low values along with their mid values on a chart, traders can get a better understanding of how prices have behaved over longer periods of time.
For example, a trader might use this information to identify trends or patterns in the market. They might look for occasions when the daily high and low values move outside of an established range or when the weekly or monthly mid values cross certain key levels. This could signal a potential change in the market trend that the trader could act upon.
Additionally, the code can help traders identify key support and resistance levels based on the high and low values of the candles. By plotting these values on a chart, traders can see where prices tend to find support or resistance over different time periods. This information can be used to place stop loss orders or take profit orders at important levels.
Overall, the benefit of using the code you provided is that it offers traders a comprehensive view of price movements over different time periods, which can aid in making more informed trading decisions.
Each level described above has its own unique label, which is abbreviated for convenience. These abbreviations are listed below for quick reference:
For daily levels: DH (Daily High), DM (Daily Mid), and DL (Daily Low)
For Monday levels: MonH (Monday High), MonM (Monday Mid), and MonL (Monday Low)
For monthly levels: MH (Monthly High), MU50 (Monthly 50 percent of Mid and High), MM (Monthly Mid), MD50 (Monthly 50 percent of Mid and Low), and ML (Monthly Low)
For quarterly levels: 3MH (Quarterly High), 3MU50 (Quarterly 50 percent of Mid and High), 3MM (Quarterly Mid), 3MD50 (Quarterly 50 percent of Mid and Low), and 3ML (Quarterly Low)
For yearly levels: YH (Yearly High), YU50 (Yearly 50 percent of Mid and High), YM (Yearly Mid), YD50 (Yearly 50 percent of Mid and Low), and YL (Yearly Low)
These labels can help you quickly identify the different levels and keep track of important price points.
If the chosen timeframe does not fall under the category of intraday, daily and Monday level will not be displayed.

Price Action All In One IndicatorIf you are the one who is "Price Action" style & does not want to use many indicators or complex indicators or you are an ICT (The Inner Circle Trader)
student or ICT charter, this simple beautiful All In One Indicator is right for you.
The indicator has the following functions.
TIME ZONE SETTING
The default timezone is New York Time GMT-4, if you leave the time zone setting blank, it will use the symbol timezone. Note that the trading time changes with one hour delay in winter. so if you just trade forex, and leave the time zone setting blank, TradingView will adjust the symbol timezone automatically for you or don't forget to change the timezone setting GMT-4 or GMT-5 depending on daylight saving time.
STATISTIC PANEL
You can choose which panel to show through settings.
Session Info Panel : pips info of ADR, Asian, London, and New York sessions.
Trend Panel : showing trend (up/down) of
5m/15m/1h/4h/D/W time frames (TF)
4MA (default values: SMA with lengths: 20–50–100–200)
Money Management Panel : in trading, money management is very important. Just put the % risk, & stop loss value below, the indicator will calculate a suitable size/amount for each trade.
Size by Lots: input stop loss in pips
Size by Units: input stop loss in % (of price)
(*)Units size is calculated by % stop loss & current bar close price. You have to determine a stop-loss price to convert to % stop loss by yourself.
TIME SEPARATORS
We can choose which time separators we want to display. The indicator has 5 options: Anchor Time/Day/Week/Month/Quarter. Of course, we can choose to show just one or all 5 of them.
With Anchor Time you can choose which time you want to draw a vertical line for better timing analysis. This can show up to 2 Anchor Time lines. The default values are 00:00 (New York Midnight Opening) and 08:30 (New York Session Opening). You also have an option to show the past lines or not.
About Day Separator, cause TradingView has supported Session Breaks in Setting but if you don't like to use it or when enabling, it distracts you, you can use mine. My favorite trading dates are Tuesday & Wednesday.
PRICE LEVELS
For intraday trading, the high/low/close of the previous day, the previous week, ADR (default period is 5) are very important key levels. You can choose which one you like to show for better analysis. Of course, you can change the color & style of the lines. This is also my favorite indicator.
This indicator also has an option to show up to 2 price lines at a specific time, you can choose the price type (high/low/close/open) that you want to display. The default time values are:
Specific Time 1: 0:00. (New York Midnight Opening Price)
Specific Time 2: 8:30 am. (New York Session Opening Price)
ACCUMULATION ZONE
The market tends to reprice the higher/lower to the old high/low or imbalance/fair value price to promote buy/sell stops or to provide smart money pricing for long/short entries. Typically, it redistributes quickly and you must learn to anticipate them at key levels intraday. Weak short/long holders will be squeezed in the retracement.
Except for the open price, the price changes continuously until the closing time, so the accumulation area can also be changed in real-time, but if you combine it with other information when analyzing, you can predict/determine whether the zone has been established or not with high probability. In short, price needs time to be accumulated, I usually don't pay attention to this daily zone till London open/close or New York sessions
Not only daily zone, but the indicator also supports higher timeframes accumulation zone from
SESSION & STD
There are 3 sessions: Asian, London, New York. The default values are below (New York Time).
Asian: 19:00 ~ 00:00
London Open (London KillZone): 01:00 ~ 05:00
New York Open (New York KillZone): 07:00 ~ 10:00
If you do not want to show the label, just leave the label values blank or change them to whatever you want.
This is one of my favorite functions. I use it on 15m, 30m, 1h TF for Forex intraday trading. My favorite trading sessions are London Open & New York Open.
You also can choose to show or not Standard Deviations (STD). The default values are set for Asian Range STD and max STD levels can be shown are 5. I use the following 3 types of STD (New York Time):
CBDR (Central Bank Deviations) STD: 14:00 ~ 20:00
Flout STD: 15:00 ~00:00
Asian Range STD: 19:00 ~ 00:00
LOOKBACK HIGH/LOW/MID
Can show high/low/mid of the data ranges on the daily/4h chart. The default values are:
- 20–40–60 days back from today for daily TF.
- 30–60–90 bars back from the latest bar for 4h TF.
The default anchor bar for calculating the lookback is the latest one but with:
- 4h TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the week.
- Daily TF: we can change the lookback from the 1st day of the month.
The indicator also has options showing the high/low/mid (equilibrium level) lines for better analysis. Especially, on daily TF, we have the option that can show up to 4 lines (25% for each one) of the data range.
Of course, you can change the colors or the style of the high/low/mid lines.
The lookback can be shown on the lower TFs for better detection when the market structure is shifted.
MAGIC BARS
Fractal bar : The bar's color is changed when the divergence occurs between the price & RSI. You can change the RSI period (default value is 14) & RSI source. (open/high/low/close,…)
Imbalance bar or liquidity void or fair value gap - whatever you call it. This is my favorite indicator when trading on all TFs.You can choose to extend the last n imbalance bars if you like in the settings. I make sure I covered all cases of imbalance/fair value gap.
OLD HIGH/LOW
First, this function is not used as the common Support & Resistance that retail traders usually use, so I call it Old High/Low. I usually use it in 2 ways:
Detect the next buy/sell stops that Market Makers aim to manipulate.
Detect whether market structure shifted or not (Break of structure)
In settings you can:
Set the period to detect high/low levels, the default value is 10. My other favorite values are 6 & 2.
On a lower time frame, you might want to set it to a large number to remove noise.
On a higher time frame, a small number is enough, I think.
Choose the numbers of the last lines you want to show on your chart.
Of course, the style of lines can be changed easily.
TRENDLINES
A very simple trendline with default pivot left strength is 10.
By default, trendline uses high/low price but you have the "Using close price" option.
LINEAR REGRESSION CHANNEL
The Linear Regression Channel is a three-line technical indicator used to analyze the upper and lower limits of an existing trend. It is a statistical tool used to predict the future from past data and is used to determine trend direction or when prices may be overextended.
You can choose
To fill the background or not
To show inner/outer lines or not
To change the colors/line styles of upper zone, lower zone, upper lines, lower lines, midline
DIRECTION BOX
Working on all TFs, this looks like the same with lookback function but if you would like to display them in a box for easily focusing/comparing with other symbols or for detecting divergence in a specific period. The indicator also has a setting to show or hide lines connecting between lows or highs.
Another example of how I use High/Low connecting lines to detect divergence between S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.
ZIG ZAG
Can show up to 2 ZigZag lines.
This is suitable for traders who have difficulty in detecting key levels (recent high/low) of the prices to confirm market structure or just for drawing Fibonacci easily at those levels.
MA (Moving Average)
I believe that this is one of the most used indicators for every trader. There are 5 types of MA to choose from: EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA(RMA).
This can show up to 4 MAs. You can choose the source (close/high/low,…) for each one. My favorite values are 34 & 89 EMA.
This indicator also supports MA Bands. You can select which MA you want to display the bands, and the "width" of the bands can be changed via the settings.
WATERMARK
It's just a simple function but I think it's very useful for those who want to add Copyright info to the chart, to prevent others from copying it.
Others/known issues/limitations
In forex or stock (things that are traded only on weekdays), TradingView's does not include the latest bars till Monday so the Day Separator cannot fill that space. Because TradingView deals with those bars as Sunday's ones so I set the color of Sunday the same as Friday for good UI/UX. On Crypto charts, the indicator shows without problems.
If you see "Internal server study error", please try closing the current TradingView tab in your browser and reopening it in a new tab. The error will disappear.
Because TradingView does not provide any detailed error information when such "general error" occurs. It's very difficult to detect which function is causing this error or is there something that caused TradingView "overloaded" through a long time running/loading on that tab? Honestly, I don't know exactly the cause, but in my experience, this error often occurs in the following cases:
When you have the TradingView Tab open for hours. In my case, I usually leave TradingView tab open overnight & when I come back the next day, this error might appear. (I'm a Mac user & I almost never shut down my Mac)
When you change settings too many times, especially settings of drawing objects like line width in a using session, it might cause this error.
So, after changing the setting or when you come back for the next trade, please save & close that TradingView tab, and then open a new one, everything will work fine.
You can see the images below that show I have tested my indicator from 1-minute time frame, enabled all functions, change every setting to max values & everything still works fine.
Average Quarterly and Annual Gain/Loss (Color Divided)Hello!
Simple script here!
(BE SURE TO TRY WITH BAR REPLAY)
This indicator measures the current quarterly gain/loss (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) and the average quarterly gain/loss.
The average percentage gain/loss for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are calculated and displayed on the chart; colors are adjustable.
By default, Q1 is measured as blue, Q2 as green, Q3 as red and Q4 as yellow.
Also measured is the average annual percentage gain/loss and the current year's running gain/loss.
Years are split by a dashed line, beneath which a label displays that year's percentage gain or loss, in addition to the average annual gain or loss.
Labels and lines update per bar!
A constantly updating line connects the high price of the first session for a quarter to the current high price. The line will delete and restart when a new quarter occurs.
Labels, lines, and line fills are color coded. So, any change to the quarterly/annual color scheme will change the color for all labels, lines, and line fills for that particular quarter!
Thanks for reading!

Day & Week & Month & Quarter & Year Open Price PointsPresent to your attention, basic “Day & Week & Month & Quarter & Year Open Price Points Indicator” !
You can determine support & resistance using Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly and Weekly open price points on a chart with any timeframe.
It is not a widely used technique, but according to different academic studies, levels are reliable. Google it! You can enhance your trading by adding that technique in your tool list.
At the current stage, Indicator shows Open Price Points.
Opening price points are extended into the future from the opening candle of each year, quarter, month and week and day.
By nature of that points, every level may be used as a support and as a resistance level at a similar time.
Initial setup:
1) Open the indicator Inputs settings, enable/disable additional Price Points.
2) Open the indicator Style settings, click on a style of each line and click on a “Price Line.”
How to use that?
With a lot of available strategies, there are two leading: Level convergence and Trend line convergence.
1) Level convergence involves locating two or more opening points that merge. This confluence can lead to greater accuracy and profitability.
2) Trend line convergence - The intersection of a trend line at a weekly, monthly, quarterly or even yearly opening level can produce fast and profitable reactions.
Try that!
As a stand-alone strategy, you can utilize that:
Price action under the WO (DO, MO, QO, YO) – Bearish
Price action above the WO (DO, MO, QO, YO) – Bullish
TIP: opening level not always good as a stand-alone tool!
Indicator Settings:
Show Daily Open (disabled by default)

DO Alert
WO Alert

Key Earnings Level by Tim WestKEY EARNINGS LEVELS:
1. It is a composite price of an equity with a quarterly earnings report. The price line attempts to indicate the most important price for the release of earnings of that company. Only companies that have quarterly earnings will be able to have Key Earnings Levels. Indexes, commodities or other futures and crypto markets will not have these lines available.
After the earnings release (aka "ER"), the stock will tend to be supported by the price of the Key Earnings Level (KEL). If the stock is NOT supported at the KEL, then you can assume the stock is under distribution and one could further assume the earnings report was not accepted well by the market and the stock will likely continue to be sold in the future until the KEL no longer stops the advance of the stock.
2. The Earnings Level is designed to be plotted on the DAILY time frame only, and not the weekly or monthly time frames. It is also not designed for the hourly or any time other than daily.
3. Earnings Levels seem to be useful for a long period of time, perhaps up to a year or more based on the observations that I have done since 2012-2014 when I created the concept. I designed the software to allow you to advance the line forward in time by periods of 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. The levels could last longer and you could add a "horizontal ray" at each earnings level so that it extends indefinitely into the future.
4. There are many additional uses of KEL's that include a combined KEL for an index, such as the DJIA, SP500 or any other basket of stocks if you combine all of the stocks KEL's together to form a market support/resistance level. I have published this research here at TradingView under the $DJI DJIA symbol.
5. The concept behind this EARNINGS RELEASE is to also see HOW VOLATILE a stock is on the day before, day of and day after the EARNINGS are released as a gauge of uncertainty in the stock. The larger the range of the stock price on an EARNINGS report, the more varied the opinions are of investors and the more uncertain analysts are on the valuation of the company or its future outlook. Volatility is an important concept for risk management in a stock and understanding how volatile a stock is on the 4 most important days of the year for any stock will help any investor understand more deeply about the risk of the stock itself.
6. I comment on stocks using the earnings levels concepts in chat room Key Hidden Levels here at TradingView for many years now. I am eager to hear your comments and success with this tool and others and hope you can pass it along to others to help them be informed too.
