Pivot Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
Pivot Oscillator is a versatile oscillator that measures market strength by comparing the current price to local price pivots. Values are scaled by ATR, normalized to a 0–100 range, and displayed along with an SMA line.
Oscillator: generates signals suitable for pullback strategies.
SMA line: serves as a momentum indicator.
█ CONCEPTS
Pivot Oscillator is designed with dual functionality:
- Oscillator & signals: ideal for pullback strategies, detecting local highs/lows and short-term reversals.
- SMA (Momentum): shows stable market-side dominance and filters price impulses.
Calculation logic:
- Oscillator = closing price − pivot line (derived from average high/low pivots).
Scaled by ATR and normalized to 0–100:
50 – bullish dominance,
< 50 – bearish dominance.
SMA is computed from smoothed oscillator values and serves as a momentum indicator.
█ FEATURES
Pivot Calculation:
- Pivot Length (lenSwing) – the number of bars used to identify local pivots (highs/lows). Higher values filter only larger extremes, while lower values make the oscillator react faster to local highs and lows.
- Pivot Level (pivotLevel) – determines the position of the pivot line between the average low and high pivots. A value of 0.5 places the pivotLine exactly halfway between the average high and low pivots; values closer to 0 or 1 shift the line toward the low or high pivots, respectively.
- Pivot Lookback (lookback) – the number of recent pivots used to calculate the average pivot, which smooths the pivotLine and reduces noise caused by individual extremes.
- Oscillator calculation: closing price − pivotLine (average of pivots computed from the above parameters).
The pivotLine is then scaled by ATR and normalized to a 0–100 range.
ATR Scaling:
- ATR period (atrLen)
- Multipliers (multUp / multDown) for upper and lower scaling.
Dynamic Colors:
- Oscillator > 50 → green (bullish)
- Oscillator < 50 → red (bearish)
SMA Line (Momentum):
- Smoothed oscillator (SMA) serves as a momentum indicator.
- Dynamic color indicates direction of SMA.
- Helps identify dominant market side and trend.
Overbought / Oversold Zones:
- Configurable OB/OS levels for both oscillator and SMA.
- Dynamic band colors: change depending on SMA relative to maOverbought / maOversold.
- Provides visual confirmation for potential corrections or strong momentum.
Gradients & Visualization:
- Oscillator and SMA gradients (3 layers) with adjustable transparency.
- Gradient visualization for OB/OS zones and oscillator.
- Full customization of colors, line width, and transparency.
Signals:
- Oscillator leaving oversold zone → long signal
- Oscillator leaving overbought zone → short signal
- OB/OS band colors dynamically reflect SMA levels for additional confirmation.
Alerts:
- OB/OS cross alerts.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → Indicators → search for “Pivot Oscillator”.
Parameter Configuration:
- Pivot Settings: pivot length, pivot level, pivot lookback.
- ATR Settings: ATR period, scaling multipliers.
- Threshold Levels: OB/OS levels for oscillator and SMA.
- Signal Settings: SMA length, extra smoothing.
- Style Settings: bullish/bearish colors, OB/OS lines, midline, text colors.
- Gradient Settings: enable/disable gradients and transparency.
Signal Interpretation:
BUY (Long):
- Oscillator leaves the oversold zone (OS crossover).
- OB/OS band color may additionally confirm the signal when SMA < maOversold.
SELL (Short):
- Oscillator leaves the overbought zone (OB crossunder).
- OB/OS band color may additionally confirm the signal when SMA > maOverbought.
█ APPLICATIONS
Pivot Oscillator and SMA can be scaled for different strategies:
- Pullback strategies: oscillator detects local highs/lows.
- Momentum / Trend: SMA shows market-side dominance and trend direction.
Adjust pivot and ATR parameters:
- Lower settings: faster reaction, suitable for scalping or intraday trading.
- Higher settings: more stable readings, suitable for swing trading or longer timeframes.
█ NOTES
- In strong trends, the oscillator may remain in extreme zones for extended periods – reflects dominance, not necessarily a reversal.
- OB/OS levels should be adapted to the instrument and pivot/ATR settings.
- Works best when combined with other tools: support/resistance, market structure, and volume analysis.

FVG Maxing - Fair Value Gaps, Equilibrium, and Candle Patterns
What this script does
This open-source indicator highlights 3-candle fair value gaps (FVGs) on the active chart timeframe, draws their midpoint ("equilibrium") line, tracks when each gap is mitigated, and optionally marks simple candle patterns (engulfing and doji) for confluence. It is intended as an educational tool to study how price interacts with imbalances.
3-candle bullish and bearish FVG zones drawn as forward-extending boxes.
Equilibrium line at 50% of each gap.
Different styling for mitigated vs unmitigated gaps.
Compact statistics panel showing how many gaps are currently active and filled.
Optional overlays for bullish/bearish engulfing patterns and doji candles.
1. FVG logic (3-candle gaps)
The script focuses on a strict 3-candle definition of a fair value gap:
Three consecutive candles with the same body direction.
The wick of candle 3 is separated from the wick of candle 1 (no overlap).
A bullish gap is created when price moves up fast enough to leave a gap between candle 1 and 3. A bearish gap is the mirror case to the downside.
In Pine, the core detection looks like this:
// Three candles with the same body direction
bull_seq = close > open and close > open and close > open
bear_seq = close < open and close < open and close < open
// Wick gap between candle 1 and candle 3
bull_gap = bull_seq and low > high
bear_gap = bear_seq and high < low
// Final FVG flags
is_bull_fvg = bull_gap
is_bear_fvg = bear_gap
For each detected FVG:
Bullish FVG range: from high up to low (gap below current price).
Bearish FVG range: from low down to high (gap above current price).
Each zone is stored in a custom FVGData structure so it can be updated when price later trades back inside it.
2. Equilibrium line (0.5 of the gap)
Every FVG box gets an optional equilibrium line plotted at the midpoint between its top and bottom:
eq_level = (top + bottom) / 2.0
right_index = extend_boxes ? bar_index + extend_length_bars : bar_index
bx = box.new(bar_index - 2, top, right_index, bottom)
eq_ln = line.new(bar_index - 2, eq_level, right_index, eq_level)
line.set_style(eq_ln, line.style_dashed)
line.set_color(eq_ln, eq_color)
You can use this line as a neutral “fair value” reference inside the zone, or as a simple way to think in terms of premium/discount within each gap.
3. Mitigation rules and styling
Each FVG stays active until price trades back into the gap:
Bullish FVG is considered mitigated when the low touches or moves below the top of the gap.
Bearish FVG is considered mitigated when the high touches or moves above the bottom of the gap.
When that happens, the script:
Marks the internal FVGData entry as mitigated.
Softens the box fill and border colors.
Optionally updates the label text from "BULL EQ / BEAR EQ" to "BULL FILLED / BEAR FILLED".
Can hide mitigated zones almost completely if you only want to see unfilled imbalances.
This allows you to distinguish between current areas of interest and zones that have already been traded through.
4. Candle pattern overlays (engulfing and doji)
For additional confluence, the script can mark simple candle patterns on top of the FVG view:
Bullish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bearish body and is larger in size.
Bearish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bullish body and is larger in size.
Doji — candles where the real body is small relative to the full range (high–low).
The detection is based on basic body and range geometry:
curr_body = math.abs(close - open)
prev_body = math.abs(close - open )
curr_range = high - low
body_ratio = curr_range > 0 ? curr_body / curr_range : 1.0
bull_engulfing = close > open and close < open and open <= close and close >= open and curr_body > prev_body
bear_engulfing = close < open and close > open and open >= close and close <= open and curr_body > prev_body
is_doji = curr_range > 0 and body_ratio <= doji_body_ratio
On the chart, they appear as:
Small triangle markers below bullish engulfing candles.
Small triangle markers above bearish engulfing candles.
Small circles above doji candles.
All three overlays are optional and can be turned on or off and recolored in the CANDLE PATTERNS group of inputs.
5. Inputs overview
The script organizes settings into clear groups:
DISPLAY SETTINGS : Show bullish/bearish FVGs, show/hide mitigated zones, box extension length, box border width, and maximum number of boxes.
EQUILIBRIUM : Toggle equilibrium lines, color, and line width.
LABELS : Enable labels, choose whether to label unmitigated and/or mitigated zones, and select label size.
BULLISH COLORS / BEARISH COLORS : Separate fill and border colors for bullish and bearish gaps.
MITIGATED STYLE : Opacity used when a gap is marked as mitigated.
STATISTICS : Toggle the on-chart FVG statistics panel.
CANDLE PATTERNS : Show engulfing patterns, show dojis, colors, and the body-to-range threshold that defines a doji.
6. Statistics panel
An optional table in the corner of the chart summarizes the current state of all tracked gaps:
Total number of FVGs still being tracked.
Number of bullish vs bearish FVGs.
Number of unfilled vs mitigated FVGs.
Simple fill rate: percentage of tracked FVGs that have been marked as mitigated.
This can help you study how a particular market tends to treat gaps over time.
7. How you might use it (examples)
These are usage ideas only, not recommendations:
Study how often your symbol mitigates gaps and where inside the zone price tends to react.
Use higher-timeframe context and then refine entries near the equilibrium line on your trading timeframe.
Combine FVG zones with basic candle patterns (engulfing/doji) as an extra visual anchor, if that fits your process.
Hope you enjoy, give your feedback in the comments!

BB Breakout-Momentum + Reversion Strategies# BB Breakout-Momentum + Reversion Strategies
## Overview
This indicator combines two complementary Bollinger Band trading strategies that automatically adapt to market conditions. Strategy 1 capitalizes on trending markets with breakout-pullback-momentum setups, while Strategy 2 exploits mean reversion in ranging markets. Advanced filtering using ADX and BB Width ensures each strategy only fires in its optimal market environment.
---
## Strategy 1: Breakout → Pullback → Renewed Momentum (Long B / Short B)
### Best Market Conditions
- **Trending Markets**: ADX ≥ 25
- **High Volatility**: BB Width ≥ 1.0× average
- Directional price action with sustained momentum
### Entry Logic
**Long B (Bullish Breakout):**
1. **Initial Breakout**: Price breaks above upper Bollinger Band with strong momentum
2. **Controlled Pullback**: Price pulls back 1-12 bars but holds above lower band (stays in trend)
3. **Defended Zone**: Pullback creates a support zone based on swing lows (validated by multiple touches)
4. **Renewed Momentum**: Price reclaims with green candle, volume confirmation, bullish MACD
5. **Position Check**: Entry must have cushion below upper band and room to reach targets
**Short B (Bearish Breakdown):**
- Mirror logic for downtrends: breakdown below lower band, pullback stays below upper band, renewed selling pressure
### Risk Management
- **Stop Loss**: Lower of (zone floor/previous low) OR (1.5 × ATR from entry)
- **Targets**:
- T1: Entry + 0.85R (0.85 × 1.5 ATR)
- T2: Entry + 1.40R (1.40 × 1.5 ATR)
- T3: Entry + 2.50R (2.50 × 1.5 ATR)
- T4: Entry + 4.50R (4.50 × 1.5 ATR)
- Risk is calculated using ATR (ATRX = 1.5 ATR), stop uses tighter of structural level (ATRL) or ATRX
---
## Strategy 2: Bollinger Band Mean Reversion (Long R / Short R)
### Best Market Conditions
- **Ranging Markets**: ADX ≤ 20
- **Low Volatility**: BB Width ≤ 0.8× average
- Price oscillating around the mean without sustained trend
### Entry Logic
**Long R (Long Reversion):**
1. **Overextension**: Price breaks below lower Bollinger Band (2 consecutive closes)
2. **Snap Back**: Price crosses back above lower band (re-enters the range)
3. **Entry Window**: Within 2 candles of re-entry, look for:
- **Green candle** (close > open) confirming bullish strength
- Close above previous candle (close > close )
4. **Trigger**: First qualifying candle within 2-bar window executes the trade
**Short R (Short Reversion):**
1. **Overextension**: Price breaks above upper Bollinger Band (2 consecutive closes)
2. **Snap Back**: Price crosses back below upper band (re-enters the range)
3. **Entry Window**: Within 2 candles of re-entry, look for:
- **Red candle** (close < open) confirming bearish pressure
- Close below previous candle (close < close )
4. **Trigger**: First qualifying candle within 2-bar window executes the trade
### Risk Management
- **Stop Loss**: Lower of (previous high/low) OR (1.5 × ATR from entry)
- **Targets**: Same as Strategy 1 (0.85R, 1.4R, 2.5R, 4.5R based on 1.5 ATR)
- Betting on return to Bollinger Band basis (mean)
---
## Advanced Filtering System
### ADX Filter (Average Directional Index)
- **Purpose**: Measures trend strength vs choppy/ranging conditions
- **Trending**: ADX ≥ 25 → Enables Strategy 1 (Breakout)
- **Ranging**: ADX ≤ 20 → Enables Strategy 2 (Reversion)
- **Neutral**: ADX 20-25 → No signals (indecisive market)
### BB Width Filter
- **Purpose**: Confirms volatility expansion/contraction
- **Wide Bands**: Current width ≥ 1.0× 50-bar average → Trending environment
- **Narrow Bands**: Current width ≤ 0.8× 50-bar average → Ranging environment
- **Logic**: Both ADX and BB Width must agree on market state before signaling
### Combined Logic
- **Strategy 1 fires**: When BOTH ADX shows trending AND bands are wide
- **Strategy 2 fires**: When BOTH ADX shows ranging AND bands are narrow
- **Visual Display**: Table at bottom-right shows ADX value, BB Width ratio, and current market state
---
## Visual Elements
### Bollinger Bands

## How to Use This Indicator
### Step 1: Identify Market State
- Check the table in bottom-right corner
- **TREND**: Look for Strategy 1 signals (Long B / Short B)
- **RANGE**: Look for Strategy 2 signals (Long R / Short R)
- **NEUTRAL**: Wait for clearer conditions
### Step 2: Wait for Signal
- Signals only fire when ALL conditions are met (structural + momentum + filters + room-to-target)
- Signals are relatively rare but high-probability
### Step 3: Execute Trade
- **Entry**: Close of signal candle
- **Stop Loss**: Shown as red cross (Strategy 1) or red dashed line (Strategy 2)
- **Targets**: Scale out at T1, T2, T3, T4 or hold for maximum R:R
### Step 4: Management
- Consider moving stop to breakeven after T1
- Trail stop using swing lows/highs in Strategy 1
- Exit full position at T2-T3 in Strategy 2 (mean reversion has limited upside)
---
## Key Principles
### Why This Works
1. **Market Adaptation**: Uses right strategy for right conditions (trend vs range)
2. **Confluence**: Multiple confirmations required (structure + momentum + volatility + room)
3. **Risk-Defined**: Every trade has pre-calculated stop and targets based on ATR
4. **Probability**: Filters reduce noise and increase win rate by waiting for ideal setups
### Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- ❌ Taking signals in NEUTRAL market state (indicators disagree)
- ❌ Overriding the stop loss (it's calculated for a reason)
- ❌ Expecting signals on every swing (quality over quantity)
- ❌ Using Strategy 1 in ranging markets or Strategy 2 in trending markets
- ❌ Ignoring the room-to-target check (signal won't fire if targets are blocked)
### Complementary Analysis
This indicator works best when combined with:
- Higher timeframe trend analysis
- Key support/resistance levels
- Volume analysis
- Market structure (swing highs/lows)
- Risk management rules (position sizing, max daily loss, etc.)

Omega Correlation [OmegaTools]Omega Correlation (Ω CRR) is a cross-asset analytics tool designed to quantify both the strength of the relationship between two instruments and the tendency of one to move ahead of the other. It is intended for traders who work with indices, futures, FX, commodities, equities and ETFs, and who require something more robust than a simple linear correlation line.
The indicator operates in two distinct modes, selected via the “Show” parameter: Correlation and Anticipation. In Correlation mode, the script focuses on how tightly the current chart and the chosen second asset move together. In Anticipation mode, it shifts to a lead–lag perspective and estimates whether the second asset tends to behave as a leader or a follower relative to the symbol on the chart.
In both modes, the core inputs are the chart symbol and a user-selected second symbol. Internally, both assets are transformed into normalized log-returns: the script computes logarithmic returns, removes short-term mean and scales by realized volatility, then clips extreme values. This normalisation allows the tool to compare behaviour across assets with different price levels and volatility profiles.
In Correlation mode, the indicator computes a composite correlation score that typically ranges between –1 and +1. Values near +1 indicate strong and persistent positive co-movement, values near zero indicate an unstable or weak link, and values near –1 indicate a stable anti-correlation regime. The composite score is constructed from three components.
The first component is a normalized return co-movement measure. After transforming both instruments into normalized returns, the script evaluates how similar those returns are bar by bar. When the two assets consistently deliver returns of similar sign and magnitude, this component is high and positive. When they frequently diverge or move in opposite directions, it becomes negative. This captures short-term co-movement in a volatility-adjusted way.
The second component focuses on high–low swing alignment. Rather than looking only at closes, it examines the direction of changes in highs and lows for each bar. If both instruments are printing higher highs and higher lows together, or lower highs and lower lows together, the swing structure is considered aligned. Persistent alignment contributes positively to the correlation score, while repeated mismatches between the swing directions reduce it. This helps differentiate between superficial price noise and structural similarity in trend behaviour.
The third component is a classical Pearson correlation on closing prices, computed over a longer lookback. This serves as a stabilising backbone that summarises general co-movement over a broader window. By combining normalized return co-movement, swing alignment and standard price correlation with calibrated weights, the Correlation mode provides a richer view than a single linear measure, capturing both short-term dynamic interaction and longer-term structural linkage.
In Anticipation mode, Omega Correlation estimates whether the second asset tends to lead or lag the current chart. The output is again a continuous score around the range. Positive values suggest that the second asset is acting more as a leader, with its past moves bearing informative value for subsequent moves of the chart symbol. Negative values indicate that the second asset behaves more like a laggard or follower. Values near zero suggest that no stable lead–lag structure can be identified.
The anticipation score is built from four elements inspired by quantitative lead–lag and price discovery analysis. The first element is a residual lead correlation, conceptually similar to Granger-style logic. The script first measures how much of the chart symbol’s normalized returns can be explained by its own lagged values. It then removes that component and studies the correlation between the residuals and lagged returns of the second asset. If the second asset’s past returns consistently explain what the chart symbol does beyond its own autoregressive behaviour, this residual correlation becomes significantly positive.
The second element is an asymmetric lead–lag structure measure. It compares the strength of relationships in both directions across multiple lags: the correlation of the current symbol with lagged versions of the second asset (candidate leader) versus the correlation of lagged values of the current symbol with the present values of the second asset. If the forward direction (second asset leading the first) is systematically stronger than the backward direction, the structure is skewed toward genuine leadership of the second asset.
The third element is a relative price discovery score, constructed by building a dynamic hedge ratio between the two prices and defining a spread. The indicator looks at how changes in each asset contribute to correcting deviations in this spread over time. When the chart symbol tends to do most of the adjustment while the second asset remains relatively stable, it suggests that the second asset is taking a greater role in determining the equilibrium price and the chart symbol is adjusting to it. The difference in adjustment intensity between the two instruments is summarised into a single score.
The fourth element is a breakout follow-through causality component. The script scans for breakout events on the second asset, where its price breaks out of a recent high or low range while the chart symbol has not yet done so. It then evaluates whether the chart symbol subsequently confirms the breakout direction, remains neutral, or moves against it. Events where the second asset breaks and the first asset later follows in the same direction add positive contribution, while failed or contrarian follow-through reduce this component. The contribution is also lightly modulated by the strength of the breakout, via the underlying normalized return.
The four elements of the Anticipation mode are combined into a single leading correlation score, providing a compact and interpretable measure of whether the second asset currently behaves as an effective early signal for the symbol you trade.
To aid interpretation, Omega Correlation builds dynamic bands around the active series (correlation or anticipation). It estimates a long-term central tendency and a typical deviation around it, plotting upper and lower bands that highlight unusually high or low values relative to recent history. These bands can be used to distinguish routine fluctuations from genuinely extreme regimes.
The script also computes percentile-based levels for the correlation series and uses them to track two special price levels on the main chart: lost correlation levels and gained correlation levels. When the correlation drops below an upper percentile threshold, the current price is stored as a lost correlation level and plotted as a horizontal line. When the correlation rises above a lower percentile threshold, the current price is stored as a gained correlation level. These levels mark zones where a historically strong relationship between the two markets broke down or re-emerged, and can be used to frame divergence, convergence and spread opportunities.
An information panel summarises, in real time, whether the second asset is behaving more as a leading, lagging or independent instrument according to the anticipation score, and suggests whether the current environment is more conducive to de-alignment, re-alignment or classic spread behaviour based on the correlation regime. This makes the tool directly interpretable even for users who are not familiar with all the underlying statistical details.
Typical applications for Omega Correlation include intermarket analysis (for example, index vs index, commodity vs related equity sector, FX vs bonds), dynamic hedge sizing, regime detection for algorithmic strategies, and the identification of lead–lag structures where a macro driver or benchmark can be monitored as an early signal for the instrument actually traded. The indicator can be applied across intraday and higher timeframes, with the understanding that the strength and nature of relationships will differ across horizons.
Omega Correlation is designed as an advanced analytical framework, not as a standalone trading system. Correlation and lead–lag relationships are statistical in nature and can change abruptly, especially around macro events, regime shifts or liquidity shocks. A positive anticipation reading does not guarantee that the second asset will always move first, and a high correlation regime can break without warning. All outputs of this tool should be combined with independent analysis, sound risk management and, when appropriate, backtesting or forward testing on the user’s specific instruments and timeframes.
The intention behind Omega Correlation is to bring techniques inspired by quantitative research, such as normalized return analysis, residual correlation, asymmetric lead–lag structure, price discovery logic and breakout event studies, into an accessible TradingView indicator. It is intended for traders who want a structured, professional way to understand how markets interact and to incorporate that information into their discretionary or systematic decision-making processes.
Day-Type Detector — Rejection / FNL / Outside / StopRun (Clean)Day-Type Detector — Rejection / FNL / Outside / Stop-Run (Clean Version)
This indicator identifies four high-impact candlestick day-types commonly used in professional price-action and auction-market trading: Rejection Days, Failed New Low (FNL) Days, Outside Days, and Stop-Run Days. These patterns often precede major directional moves, reversals, and absorption events, making them particularly valuable for swing traders, positional traders, and short-term discretionary traders.
The script is designed to work across all timeframes and is built around volatility-adjusted measurements using Average Daily Range (ADR) for accuracy and consistency.
What This Indicator Detects
1. Rejection Day (Bullish & Bearish)
A Rejection Day is a wide-range bar that rejects a previous extreme.
The indicator identifies rejection based on:
Range > ADR × threshold
Long lower wick (for bullish) or long upper wick (for bearish)
Close located in the strong zone of the day’s range
These conditions highlight areas where aggressive counter-orderflow entered the market.
2. Failed New Low (FNL) / Failed New High
An FNL day traps traders who attempted breakout selling or buying.
The indicator checks for:
A break beyond the previous session’s low or high
Immediate rejection back inside
Midpoint recapture conditions
ADR-normalized range requirements
These days often trigger powerful directional reversals.
3. Outside Day (Bullish & Bearish)
An Outside Day is a statistically significant expansion day that breaks both the previous high and low.
The script validates:
High > previous high and low < previous low
Range > ADR threshold
Close beyond prior session extreme to complete the rejection sequence
Outside Days often represent stop runs, shakeouts, or trend accelerations.
4. Stop-Run Day (Bullish & Bearish)
Stop-Run Days are aggressive volatility expansions and tend to be the largest ranges within short windows.
This detector identifies them using:
Range > ADR × multiplier
Close located near the extreme of the day (top for bullish, bottom for bearish)
Strong body relative to total range
Break above/below previous session extreme
These patterns indicate capitulation or forced liquidation and are often followed by continuation or sharp counter-rotation.
Key Features
✔ Historical Pattern Marking
All qualifying bars are marked on the chart using plotshape() in global scope, ensuring full historical visibility.
✔ Event Logging & Table Display
A table (top-right of the chart) displays the most recent pattern detections, including:
Timestamp
Pattern type
Bar index
This allows users to monitor and study past pattern occurrences without scanning the chart manually.
✔ ADR-Adjusted Detection
Volatility uncertainty is removed by anchoring all thresholds to ADR.
This ensures consistency across:
Different symbols
Different timeframes
Different market regimes
✔ Alerts Included
Alerts are preconfigured for:
Rejection Day Bull / Bear
FNL Bull / Bear
Outside Day Bull / Bear
Stop-Run Bull / Bear
This allows the user to receive real-time notifications when major day-type structures develop.
How to Use
Add the indicator to any timeframe chart.
Enable or disable:
Historical markers
History table
ADR diagnostics
Watch for shape markers or use alerts for real-time signals.
Use the history table to review recent occurrences.
Combine these day-types with:
Market structure levels
High/low volume nodes (LVNs)
Support/resistance zones
Trend context
These day-types are most effective when they occur near meaningful structural levels because they show where strong order-flow entered the market.
Best Practices
Use higher timeframes (1H–1D) for swing entries.
Confirm signals with market structure or volume profile.
Treat these day-types as context, not standalone signals.
Observe follow-through behavior in the next 1–3 bars after detection.

## 📊 How It Works
DAO calculates the ratio of buying pressure to total market pressure:
1. **Calculate Buying Pressure (DemandMax):**
- If current high > previous high: DemandMax = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMax = 0
2. **Calculate Selling Pressure (DemandMin):**
- If previous low > current low: DemandMin = difference
- Otherwise: DemandMin = 0
3. **Apply Smoothing:**
- Calculate SMA of DemandMax over N periods
- Calculate SMA of DemandMin over N periods
4. **Final Formula:**
```
DAO = SMA(DemandMax) / (SMA(DemandMax) + SMA(DemandMin))
```
This produces a normalized value (0-1) representing market demand strength.

LibPvotLibrary "LibPvot"
This is a library for advanced technical analysis, specializing
in two core areas: the detection of price-oscillator
divergences and the analysis of market structure. It provides
a back-end engine for signal detection and a toolkit for
indicator plotting.
Key Features:
1. **Complete Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C):** The engine detects
all three major types of divergences, providing a full spectrum of
analytical signals:
- **Regular (A):** For potential trend reversals.
- **Hidden (B):** For potential trend continuations.
- **Exaggerated (C):** For identifying weakness at double tops/bottoms.
2. **Advanced Signal Filtering:** The detection logic uses a
percentage-based price tolerance (`prcTol`). This feature
enables the practical detection of Exaggerated divergences
(which rarely occur at the exact same price) and creates a
"dead zone" to filter insignificant noise from triggering
Regular divergences.
3. **Pivot Synchronization:** A bar tolerance (`barTol`) is used
to reliably match price and oscillator pivots that do not
align perfectly on the same bar, preventing missed signals.
4. **Signal Invalidation Logic:** Features two built-in invalidation
rules:
- An optional `invalidate` parameter automatically terminates
active divergences if the price or the oscillator breaks
the level of the confirming pivot.
- The engine also discards 'half-pivots' (e.g., a price pivot)
if a corresponding oscillator pivot does not appear within
the `barTol` window.
5. **Stateful Plotting Helpers:** Provides helper functions
(`bullDivPos` and `bearDivPos`) that abstract away the
state management issues of visualizing persistent signals.
They generate gap-free, accurately anchored data series
ready to be used in `plotshape` functions, simplifying
indicator-side code.
6. **Rich Data Output:** The core detection functions (`bullDiv`, `bearDiv`)
return a comprehensive 9-field data tuple. This includes the
boolean flags for each divergence type and the precise
coordinates (price, oscillator value, bar index) of both the
starting and the confirming pivots.
7. **Market Structure & Trend Analysis:** Includes a
`marketStructure` function to automatically identify pivot
highs/lows, classify their relationship (HH, LH, LL, HL),
detect structure breaks, and determine the current trend
state (Up, Down, Neutral) based on pivot sequences.

Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC)The Ultimate Oscillator (ULTOSC) is a technical momentum indicator developed by Larry Williams that combines three different time periods to reduce the volatility and false signals common in single-period oscillators. By using a weighted average of three Stochastic-like calculations across short, medium, and long-term periods, the Ultimate Oscillator provides a more comprehensive view of market momentum while maintaining sensitivity to price changes.
The indicator addresses the common problem of oscillators being either too sensitive (generating many false signals) or too slow (missing opportunities). By incorporating multiple timeframes with decreasing weights for longer periods, ULTOSC attempts to capture both short-term momentum shifts and longer-term trend strength, making it particularly valuable for identifying divergences and potential reversal points.
## Core Concepts
* **Multi-timeframe analysis:** Combines three different periods (typically 7, 14, 28) to capture various momentum cycles
* **Weighted averaging:** Assigns higher weights to shorter periods for responsiveness while including longer periods for stability
* **Buying pressure focus:** Measures the relationship between closing price and the true range rather than just high-low range
* **Divergence detection:** Particularly effective at identifying momentum divergences that precede price reversals
* **Normalized scale:** Oscillates between 0 and 100, with clear overbought/oversold levels
## Common Settings and Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Function | When to Adjust |
|-----------|---------|----------|---------------|
| Fast Period | 7 | Short-term momentum calculation | Lower (5-6) for more sensitivity, higher (9-12) for smoother signals |
| Medium Period | 14 | Medium-term momentum calculation | Adjust based on typical swing duration in the market |
| Slow Period | 28 | Long-term momentum calculation | Higher values (35-42) for longer-term position trading |
| Fast Weight | 4.0 | Weight applied to fast period | Higher weight increases short-term sensitivity |
| Medium Weight | 2.0 | Weight applied to medium period | Adjust to balance medium-term influence |
| Slow Weight | 1.0 | Weight applied to slow period | Usually kept at 1.0 as the baseline weight |
**Pro Tip:** The classic 7/14/28 periods with 4/2/1 weights work well for most markets, but consider using 5/10/20 with adjusted weights for faster markets or 14/28/56 for longer-term analysis.
## Calculation and Mathematical Foundation
**Simplified explanation:**
The Ultimate Oscillator calculates three separate "buying pressure" ratios using different time periods, then combines them using weighted averaging. Buying pressure is defined as the close minus the true low, divided by the true range.
**Technical formula:**
```
BP = Close - Min(Low, Previous Close)
TR = Max(High, Previous Close) - Min(Low, Previous Close)
BP_Sum_Fast = Sum(BP, Fast Period)
TR_Sum_Fast = Sum(TR, Fast Period)
Raw_Fast = 100 × (BP_Sum_Fast / TR_Sum_Fast)
BP_Sum_Medium = Sum(BP, Medium Period)
TR_Sum_Medium = Sum(TR, Medium Period)
Raw_Medium = 100 × (BP_Sum_Medium / TR_Sum_Medium)
BP_Sum_Slow = Sum(BP, Slow Period)
TR_Sum_Slow = Sum(TR, Slow Period)
Raw_Slow = 100 × (BP_Sum_Slow / TR_Sum_Slow)
ULTOSC = 100 × / (Fast_Weight + Medium_Weight + Slow_Weight)
```
Where:
- BP = Buying Pressure
- TR = True Range
- Fast Period = 7, Medium Period = 14, Slow Period = 28 (defaults)
- Fast Weight = 4, Medium Weight = 2, Slow Weight = 1 (defaults)
> 🔍 **Technical Note:** The implementation uses efficient circular buffers for all three period calculations, maintaining O(1) time complexity per bar. The algorithm properly handles true range calculations including gaps and ensures accurate buying pressure measurements across all timeframes.
## Interpretation Details
ULTOSC provides several analytical perspectives:
* **Overbought/Oversold conditions:** Values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, below 30 suggest oversold conditions
* **Momentum direction:** Rising ULTOSC indicates increasing buying pressure, falling indicates increasing selling pressure
* **Divergence analysis:** Divergences between ULTOSC and price often precede significant reversals
* **Trend confirmation:** ULTOSC direction can confirm or question the prevailing price trend
* **Signal quality:** Extreme readings (>80 or <20) indicate strong momentum that may be unsustainable
* **Multiple timeframe consensus:** When all three underlying periods agree, signals are typically more reliable
## Trading Applications
**Primary Uses:**
- **Divergence trading:** Identify when momentum diverges from price for reversal signals
- **Overbought/oversold identification:** Find potential entry/exit points at extreme levels
- **Trend confirmation:** Validate breakouts and trend continuations
- **Momentum analysis:** Assess the strength of current price movements
**Advanced Strategies:**
- **Multi-divergence confirmation:** Look for divergences across multiple timeframes
- **Momentum breakouts:** Trade when ULTOSC breaks above/below key levels with volume
- **Swing trading entries:** Use oversold/overbought levels for swing position entries
- **Trend strength assessment:** Evaluate trend quality using momentum consistency
## Signal Combinations
**Strong Bullish Signals:**
- ULTOSC rises from oversold territory (<30) with positive price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks above 50 after forming a base near 30
- All three underlying periods show increasing buying pressure
**Strong Bearish Signals:**
- ULTOSC falls from overbought territory (>70) with negative price divergence
- ULTOSC breaks below 50 after forming a top near 70
- All three underlying periods show decreasing buying pressure
**Divergence Signals:**
- **Bullish divergence:** Price makes lower lows while ULTOSC makes higher lows
- **Bearish divergence:** Price makes higher highs while ULTOSC makes lower highs
- **Hidden bullish divergence:** Price makes higher lows while ULTOSC makes lower lows (trend continuation)
- **Hidden bearish divergence:** Price makes lower highs while ULTOSC makes higher highs (trend continuation)
## Comparison with Related Oscillators
| Indicator | Periods | Focus | Best Use Case |
|-----------|---------|-------|---------------|
| **Ultimate Oscillator** | 3 periods | Buying pressure | Divergence detection |
| **Stochastic** | 1-2 periods | Price position | Overbought/oversold |
| **RSI** | 1 period | Price momentum | Momentum analysis |
| **Williams %R** | 1 period | Price position | Short-term signals |
## Advanced Configurations
**Fast Trading Setup:**
- Fast: 5, Medium: 10, Slow: 20
- Weights: 4/2/1, Thresholds: 75/25
**Standard Setup:**
- Fast: 7, Medium: 14, Slow: 28
- Weights: 4/2/1, Thresholds: 70/30
**Conservative Setup:**
- Fast: 14, Medium: 28, Slow: 56
- Weights: 3/2/1, Thresholds: 65/35
**Divergence Focused:**
- Fast: 7, Medium: 14, Slow: 28
- Weights: 2/2/2, Thresholds: 70/30
## Market-Specific Adjustments
**Volatile Markets:**
- Use longer periods (10/20/40) to reduce noise
- Consider higher threshold levels (75/25)
- Focus on extreme readings for signal quality
**Trending Markets:**
- Emphasize divergence analysis over absolute levels
- Look for momentum confirmation rather than reversal signals
- Use hidden divergences for trend continuation
**Range-Bound Markets:**
- Standard overbought/oversold levels work well
- Trade reversals from extreme levels
- Combine with support/resistance analysis
## Limitations and Considerations
* **Lagging component:** Contains inherent lag due to multiple moving average calculations
* **Complex calculation:** More computationally intensive than single-period oscillators
* **Parameter sensitivity:** Performance varies significantly with different period/weight combinations
* **Market dependency:** Most effective in trending markets with clear momentum patterns
* **False divergences:** Not all divergences lead to significant price reversals
* **Whipsaw potential:** Can generate conflicting signals in choppy markets
## Best Practices
**Effective Usage:**
- Focus on divergences rather than absolute overbought/oversold levels
- Combine with trend analysis for context
- Use multiple timeframe analysis for confirmation
- Pay attention to the speed of momentum changes
**Common Mistakes:**
- Over-relying on overbought/oversold levels in strong trends
- Ignoring the underlying trend direction
- Using inappropriate period settings for the market being analyzed
- Trading every divergence without additional confirmation
**Signal Enhancement:**
- Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
- Use price action context (support/resistance levels)
- Consider market volatility when setting thresholds
- Look for convergence across multiple momentum indicators
## Historical Context and Development
The Ultimate Oscillator was developed by Larry Williams and introduced in his 1985 article "The Ultimate Oscillator" in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Williams designed it to address the limitations of single-period oscillators by:
- Reducing false signals through multi-timeframe analysis
- Maintaining sensitivity to short-term momentum changes
- Providing more reliable divergence signals
- Creating a more robust momentum measurement tool
The indicator has become a standard tool in technical analysis, particularly valued for its divergence detection capabilities and its balanced approach to momentum measurement.

HTF Candle Highs and Lows with Labels + High Probability Signals█ OVERVIEW
This indicator overlays Weekly, Daily, and H4 High/Low levels directly onto your chart, allowing traders to visualize key support and resistance zones from higher timeframes. It also includes high probability breakout signals that appear one candle after a confirmed breakout above or below these levels, filtered by volume and candle strength.
Use this tool to identify breakout opportunities with greater confidence and clarity.
█ FEATURES
• Plots Weekly, Daily, and H4 High and Low levels using request.security. • Customizable line colors, widths, and label sizes. • Toggle visibility for each timeframe independently. • Signals appear one candle after a confirmed breakout: • Bullish: Close above HTF High, strong candle, high volume. • Bearish: Close below HTF Low, strong candle, high volume. • Signal shapes match the color of the broken level for visual clarity.
█ HOW TO USE
1 — Enable the timeframes you want to track using the input toggles. 2 — Watch for triangle-shaped signals: • Upward triangle = Bullish breakout. • Downward triangle = Bearish breakout. 3 — Confirm the breakout: • Candle closes beyond the HTF level by at least 0.1%. • Candle body shows momentum (close > open for bullish, close < open for bearish). • Volume exceeds 20-period average. 4 — Enter trade on the candle after the signal. 5 — Use the HTF level as a reference for stop-loss placement. 6 — Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, EMA) for confluence.
█ LIMITATIONS
• Signals may lag by one candle due to confirmation logic. • Not optimized for low-volume assets or illiquid markets. • Best used in trending environments; avoid during consolidation. • Does not include automatic alerts (can be added manually).
█ BEST PRACTICES
• Use on H1 or higher timeframes for cleaner signals. • Avoid trading during news events or low volatility. • Backtest thoroughly before live trading. • Adjust breakout percentage and volume filter based on asset volatility. • Maintain a trading journal to track performance.
All Levels This script draws key price levels on your chart, including:
• Previous Day (PD): High, Low, Close
• Day Before Yesterday (DBY): High, Low, Close
• Pre-Market (PM): High and Low
• Today’s levels: High, Low, Open, Close
• Current bar levels: High, Low, Open, Close
Each level is displayed as a horizontal line with a label showing the level value.
It works on any timeframe, including 1-minute charts, and automatically updates as new bars form.
⸻
2. Features
1. Custom Colors
Each type of level has its own color, declared as a const color. For example:
• Previous Day High = red
• Today’s Close = gold
• Pre-Market High = fuchsia
2. Right-Extending Lines
All horizontal levels extend to the right, so you always see them on the chart.
3. Persistent Labels

4. Dynamic Updates
The script updates automatically whenever a new bar forms, so levels stay accurate.
5. Session-Based Pre-Market
You can define the pre-market session (default “04:00–09:30 EST”). The script calculates the high and low of this session only.
6. Checkbox Inputs
You can enable/disable entire groups of levels:
• Previous Day
• Day Before Yesterday
• Pre-Market
• Today
• Current bar
Session Levels [odnac]This indicator plots the high and low levels of the three main trading sessions—Asia, Europe, and New York—along with the previous day’s high, low, and open. Each session’s time range can be customized using a UTC offset, and the indicator automatically tracks session highs and lows as price develops.
Functions:
Plots session highs and lows for Asia, Europe, and New York.
Shows previous day’s high, low, and open as reference levels.
Session times are fully configurable with hour and minute precision, including UTC offset adjustment.
Each session level is marked with both a line and a label for clarity.
Color customization for each session and previous day levels.
Designed for intraday timeframes (1–60 minutes).
Filter Condition:
When the filter option is enabled, the indicator adjusts how levels are drawn:
A session high above the current close is displayed as a solid line with a visible label.
Once price closes above that high, the line becomes dotted and dimmed, and the label also becomes less emphasized.
Similarly, a session low below the current close is displayed as a solid line and label.
If price closes below that low, the line switches to dotted and dimmed, with the label adjusted accordingly.
This behavior highlights only the most relevant levels for the current market position while still keeping breached levels visible in a subdued style, making it easier to spot active breakout or liquidity zones.
Smart Structure Breaks & Order BlocksOverview (What it does)
The indicator “Smart Structure Breaks & Order Blocks” detects market structure using swing highs and lows, identifies Break of Structure (BOS) events, and automatically draws order blocks (OBs) from the origin candle. These zones extend to the right and change color/outline when mitigated or invalidated. By formalizing and automating part of discretionary analysis, it provides consistent zone recognition.
Main Components
Swing Detection: ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow identify confirmed swing points.
BOS Detection: Determines if the recent swing high/low is broken by close (strict mode) or crossover.
OB Creation: After a BOS, the opposite candle (bearish for bullish BOS, bullish for bearish BOS) is used to generate an order block zone.
Zone Management: Limits the number of zones, extends them to the right, and tracks tagged (mitigated) or invalidated states.
Input Parameters
Left/Right Pivot (default 6/6): Number of bars required on each side to confirm a swing. Higher values = smoother swings.
Max Zones (default 4): Maximum zones stored per direction (bull/bear). Oldest zones are overwritten.
Zone Confirmation Lookback (default 3): Ensures OB origin candle validity by checking recent highs/lows.
Show Swing Points (default ON): Displays triangles on swing highs/lows.
Require close for BOS? (default ON): Strict BOS (close required) vs loose BOS (line crossover).
Use candle body for zones (default OFF): Zones drawn from candle body (ON) or wick (OFF).
Signal Definition & Logic
Swing Updates: Latest confirmed pivots update lastHighLevel / lastLowLevel.
BOS (Break of Structure):
Bullish – close breaks last swing high.
Bearish – close breaks last swing low.
Only one valid BOS per swing (avoids duplicates).
OB Detection:
Bullish BOS → previous bearish candle with lowest low forms the OB.
Bearish BOS → previous bullish candle with highest high forms the OB.
Zones: Bull = green, Bear = red, semi-transparent, extended to the right.
Zone States:
Mitigated: Price touches the zone → border highlighted.
Invalidated:
Bull zone → close below → turns red.
Bear zone → close above → turns green.
Chart Appearance
Swing High: red triangle above bar
Swing Low: green triangle below bar
Bull OB: green zone (border highlighted on touch)
Bear OB: red zone (border highlighted on touch)
Invalid Zones: Bull zones turn reddish, Bear zones turn greenish
Practical Use (Trading Assistance)
Trend Following Entries: Buy pullbacks into green OBs in uptrends, sell rallies into red OBs in downtrends.
Focus on First Touch: First mitigation after BOS often has higher reaction probability.
Confluence: Combine with higher timeframe trend, volume, session levels, key price levels (previous highs/lows, VWAP, etc.).
Stops/Targets:
Bull – stop below zone, partial take profit at swing high or resistance.
Bear – stop above zone, partial take profit at swing low or support.
Parameter Tuning (per market/timeframe)
Pivot (6/6 → 4/4/8/8): Lower for scalping (3–5), medium for day trading (5–8), higher for swing trading (8–14). Increase to reduce noise.
Strict Break: ON to reduce false breaks in ranging markets; OFF for earlier signals.
Body Zones: ON for assets with long wicks, OFF for cleaner OBs in liquid instruments.
Zone Confirmation (default 3): Increase for stricter OB origin, fewer zones.
Max Zones (default 4 → 6–10): Increase for higher volatility, decrease to avoid clutter.
Strengths
Standardizes BOS and OB detection that is usually subjective.
Tracks mitigation and invalidation automatically.
Adaptable: allows body/wick zone switching for different instruments.
Limitations
Pivot-based: Signals appear only after pivots confirm (slight lag).
Zones reflect past balance: Can fail after new events (news, earnings, macro data).
Range-heavy markets: More false BOS; consider stricter settings.
Backtesting: This script is for drawing/visual aid; trading rules must be defined separately.
Workflow Example
Identify higher timeframe trend (4H/Daily).
On lower TF (15–60m), wait for BOS and new OB.
Enter on first mitigation with confirmation candle.
Stop beyond zone; targets based on R multiples and swing points.
FAQ
Q: Why are zones invalidated quickly?
A: Flow reversal after BOS. Adjust pivots higher, enable Strict mode, or switch to Body zones to reduce noise.
Q: What does “tagged” mean?
A: Price touched the zone once = mitigated. Implies some orders in that zone may have been filled.
Q: Body or Wick zones?
A: Wick zones are fine in clean markets. For volatile pairs with long wicks, body zones provide more realistic areas.
Customization Tips (Code perspective)
Zone storage: Currently ring buffer ((idx+1) % zoneLimit). Could prioritize keeping unmitigated zones.
Automated testing: Add strategy.entry/exit for rule-based backtests.
Multi-timeframe: Use request.security() for higher timeframe swings/BOS.
Visualization: Add labels for BOS bars, tag zones with IDs, count touches.
Summary
This indicator formalizes the cycle Swing → BOS → OB creation → Mitigation/Invalidation, providing consistent structure analysis and zone tracking. By tuning sensitivity and strictness, and combining with higher timeframe context, it enhances pullback/continuation trading setups. Always combine with proper risk management.

Visualize Sessions: See the Asia, London, and New York sessions highlighted with colored backgrounds.
Key Levels: Automatically plots the high and low of each session, which are often critical support and resistance levels.
Breakout Alerts: Get notified when price breaks a session high or low.
📈 Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Context
Understand the bigger picture by integrating higher timeframe analysis directly onto your chart.
BOS & MSS: Automatically identifies Breaks of Structure (trend continuation) and Market Structure Shifts (potential reversals) from up to two higher timeframes.
Trade with the Trend: Align your intraday trades with the dominant trend for higher probability setups.
⚙️ How It Works in Simple Terms
1️⃣ It Learns: The indicator first identifies all the past swing points (HH, HL, LL, LH) and analyzes their characteristics (speed, size, etc.).
2️⃣ It Finds a Match: It looks at the most recent price action and searches through hundreds of historical bars to find moments that were almost identical.
3️⃣ It Analyzes the Outcome: It checks what happened next in those similar historical scenarios.
4️⃣ It Predicts: Based on that historical data, it calculates the probability of each potential outcome and presents it to you.
🚀 How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading
Confirmation Tool: Use a high probability score (e.g., >60% for a HH) to confirm your own bullish analysis before entering a trade.
Finding High-Probability Zones: Use the Prediction Zones as potential areas to take profit, or as reversal zones to watch for entries in the opposite direction.
Gauging Market Sentiment: Check the "Market Phase" on the dashboard. Avoid forcing trades when the indicator shows "😴 Low Volatility."
Confluence is Key: This indicator is incredibly powerful when combined with your existing strategy. Use it alongside supply/demand zones, moving averages, or RSI for ultimate confirmation.
We hope this tool gives you a powerful new perspective on the market. Dive into the settings to customize it to your liking!

Globex Overnight Futures ORB with FIB's by TenAMTrader📌 Globex Overnight Futures ORB with FIB’s – by TenAMTrader
This indicator is designed for futures traders who want to track the Globex Overnight Opening Range (ORB) and apply Fibonacci projections to anticipate potential support/resistance zones. It’s especially useful for traders who follow overnight sessions (such as ES, NQ, CL) and want to map out key levels before the U.S. regular session begins.
⚙️ How It Works
Primary Range (ORB):
You define a start and end time (default set to 18:00 – 18:15 EST). During this period, the script tracks the session high, low, and midpoint.
Opening Range Plots:
High Line (green)
Low Line (red)
Midpoint Line (yellow)
A shaded cloud between High–Mid and Mid–Low for easy visualization.
Fibonacci Projections:
Once the ORB is complete, the script calculates a full suite of Fibonacci retracements and extensions (e.g., 0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.0).
Standard key levels (0.618, 0.786, 1.0, etc.) are always shown if enabled.
Optional extended levels (1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 2.0, etc.) can be toggled on/off.
"Between Range" fibs (such as 0.382 and 0.618 inside the ORB) are also available for traders who like intra-range precision.
🔧 User Settings
Time Inputs: Choose your ORB start/end time.
Color Controls: Customize high, low, midpoint, and fib line colors.
Display Toggles: Turn on/off High, Low, Midpoint lines and Fibonacci projections.
Fib Extensions Toggle: Decide whether to show only major fibs or all extensions.
Alerts (Optional): Alerts can be set for crossing the ORB High, Low, or Midpoint.
📊 Practical Use Cases
Breakout Traders: Use the ORB high/low as breakout triggers.
Mean Reversion Traders: Watch for rejections near fib extension levels.
Overnight Futures Monitoring: Track Globex behavior to prepare for RTH open.
Risk Management: ORB and Fib levels make for natural stop/target placement zones.

LANZ Strategy 7.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 7.0 — Multi-Session Breakout Logic with Midnight-Cross Support, Dynamic SL/TP, Multi-Account Lot Sizing & Real-Time Visual Tracking
LANZ Strategy 7.0 is a robust, visually-driven trading indicator designed to capture high-probability breakouts from a customizable market session.
It includes full support for sessions that cross midnight, dynamic calculation of Entry Price (EP), Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels, and a multi-account lot sizing panel for precise risk management.
The system is built to only trigger one trade per day and manages the full trade lifecycle with automated visual cleanup and detailed alerts.
📌 This is an indicator, not a strategy — it does not place trades automatically, but provides exact entry setups, SL/TP levels, risk-based lot size guidance, and real-time alerts for execution.
🧠 Core Logic & Features
🚀 Entry Signal (BUY/SELL)
The trading day begins with a Decision Session (yellow box) where the high/low range is recorded.
Once the Operative Session starts (blue zone), the first touch of the session’s high triggers a BUY setup, and the first touch of the session’s low triggers a SELL setup.
Only one valid trade can be triggered per day — the system locks after the first signal.
⚙️ Dynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit
SL levels are derived from the Decision Session high/low using customizable Fibonacci multipliers (independent for BUY and SELL).
TP is dynamically calculated from the EP–SL distance using a user-defined Risk:Reward ratio (R:R).
All EP, SL, and TP levels are drawn as independent lines with customizable colors, label text size, and style.
⏳ Session & Midnight-Cross Support
Works with any custom Decision/Operative session hours, including sessions that start one day and end the next.
Properly tracks time zones using New York session time for consistency.
Includes Cutoff Time: after this limit, no new entries are allowed, and all visuals are auto-cleared if no trade was triggered.
💰 Multi-Account Risk-Based Lot Sizing
Supports up to 5 independent accounts.
Each account can have:
Own capital
Own risk percentage per trade
Lot size is auto-calculated based on:
SL distance (in pips or points)
Pip value (auto-detected for Forex or manually set for indices/commodities)
Results are displayed in a clean lot size info panel.
🖼️ Real-Time Visual Tracking
Dynamic updates to all levels during the Decision Session.
EP, SL, TP lines update if the session high/low changes before the Operative Session starts.
Trade result labels:
SL hit → “–1.00%” in red
TP hit → “+X.XX%” in green
Manual close at Operative End → shows actual % result in blue or purple.
🔔 Alerts for Every Key Event
Session start notification
EP entry triggered
SL or TP hit
Manual close at session end
Missed entry due to cutoff
🧭 Execution Flow
Decision Session (Yellow) — Capture high/low range.
Operative Session (Blue) — First touch of high = BUY setup; first touch of low = SELL setup.
Plot EP, SL, TP lines + calculate lot sizes for all active accounts.
Track trade until SL, TP, or Operative End.
If no entry triggered by Cutoff Time → clean all visuals and notify.
💡 Ideal For:
Traders who operate breakout logic on specific sessions (NY, London, Asian, or custom).
Those managing multiple accounts with strict risk per trade.
Anyone trading assets with sessions crossing midnight.

9:45am NIFTY TRADINGTime Frame: 15 Minutes | Reference Candle Time: 9:45 AM IST | Valid Trading Window: 3 Hours
📌 Introduction
This document outlines a structured trading strategy for NIFTY & BANKNIFTY Options based on a 15-minute timeframe with a 9:45 AM IST reference candle. The strategy incorporates technical indicators, probability analysis, and strict trading rules to optimize entries and exits.
📊 Core Features
1. Reference Time Trading System
9:45 AM IST Candle acts as the reference for the day.
All signals (Buy/Sell/Reversal) are generated based on price action relative to this candle.
The valid trading window is 3 hours after the reference candle.
2. Signal Generation Logic
Signal Condition
Buy (B) Price breaks above reference candle high with confirmation
Sell (S) Price breaks below reference candle low with confirmation
Reversal (R) Early trend reversal signal (requires strict confirmation)
3. Probability Analysis System
The strategy calculates Win Probability (%) using 4 components:
Component Weight Calculation
Body Win Probability 30% Based on candle body strength (body % of total range)
Volume Win Probability 30% Current volume vs. average volume strength
Trend Win Probability 40% EMA crossover + RSI momentum alignment
Composite Probability - Weighted average of all 3 components
Probability Color Coding:
🟢 Green (High Probability): ≥70%
🟠 Orange (Medium Probability): 50-69%
🔴 Red (Low Probability): <50%
4. Timeframe Enforcement
Strictly 15-minute charts only (no other timeframes allowed).
System auto-disables signals if the wrong timeframe is selected.
📈 Technical Analysis Components
1. EMA System (Trend Analysis)
Short EMA (9) – Fast trend indicator
Middle EMA (20) – Intermediate trend
Long EMA (50) – Long-term trend confirmation
Rules:
Buy Signal: Price > 9 EMA > 20 EMA > 50 EMA (Bullish trend)
Sell Signal: Price < 9 EMA < 20 EMA < 50 EMA (Bearish trend)
2. Multi-Timeframe RSI (Momentum)
5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, Daily RSI values are compared for divergence/confluence.
Overbought (≥70) / Oversold (≤30) conditions help in reversal signals.
3. Volume Analysis
Volume Strength (%) = (Current Volume / Avg. Volume) × 100
Strong Volume (>120% Avg.) confirms breakout/breakdown.
4. Body Percentage (Candle Strength)
Body % = (Close - Open) / (High - Low) × 100
Strong Bullish Candle: Body > 60%
Strong Bearish Candle: Body < 40%
