⚠️ COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
❌ MISTAKE 1: Trading against all VWAPs
→ If price < Daily, Weekly, Monthly VWAP → DON'T buy
→ Wait for confluence or trend change
❌ MISTAKE 2: Ignoring sessions
→ NY VWAP at 8am has NO validity
→ Respect session start/end times
❌ MISTAKE 3: Over-trading VWAP touches
→ Every VWAP touch is NOT a signal
→ Wait for confluence + volume + pattern
❌ MISTAKE 4: Wrong time configuration
→ Check your timezone
→ Adjust hours according to your location
❌ MISTAKE 5: Neglecting volume
→ VWAP crossover without volume is WEAK
→ Volume > average = more reliable signal
❌ MISTAKE 6: Forgetting HTF context
→ Always check higher timeframe
→ Daily chart for intraday, Weekly for swing
❌ MISTAKE 7: Too tight stop loss
→ Place stop BEYOND ±3σ band
→ Give position room to breathe
❌ MISTAKE 8: Using only VWAP
→ COMBINE with: RSI, Volume Profile, Support/Resistance
→ VWAP is a tool, not a complete strategy

Volume-Gated Trend Ribbon [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Volume-Gated Trend Ribbon employs a selective price-updating mechanism that filters market noise through volume validation, creating a trend-following system that responds exclusively to significant price movements. The indicator gates price updates to moving average calculations based on volume threshold crossovers, ensuring that only bars with significant participation influence the trend direction. By interpolating between fast and slow moving averages to create a multi-layered visual ribbon, the indicator provides traders and investors with an adaptive trend identification framework that distinguishes between volume-backed directional shifts and low-conviction price fluctuations across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator first establishes a dynamic baseline by calculating the simple moving average of volume over a configurable lookback period, then applies a user-defined multiplier to determine the significance threshold:
avgVol = ta.sma(volume, volPeriod)
highVol = volume >= avgVol * volMult
The gated price mechanism employs conditional updating where the close price is only captured and stored when volume exceeds the threshold. During low-volume periods, the indicator maintains the last qualified price level rather than tracking every minor fluctuation:
var float gatedClose = close
if highVol
gatedClose := close
Dual moving averages are calculated using the gated price input, with the indicator supporting various MA types. The fast and slow periods create the outer boundaries of the trend ribbon:
fastMA = volMA(gatedClose, close, fastPeriod)
slowMA = volMA(gatedClose, close, slowPeriod)
Ribbon interpolation creates intermediate layers by blending the fast and slow moving averages using weighted combinations, establishing a gradient effect that visually represents trend strength and momentum distribution:
midFastMA = fastMA * 0.67 + slowMA * 0.33
midSlowMA = fastMA * 0.33 + slowMA * 0.67
Trend state determination compares the fast MA against the slow MA, establishing bullish regimes when the faster average trades above the slower average and bearish regimes during the inverse relationship. Signal generation triggers on state transitions, producing alerts when the directional bias shifts:
bullish = fastMA > slowMA
longSignal = trendState == 1 and trendState != 1
shortSignal = trendState == -1 and trendState != -1
The visualization architecture constructs a three-tiered opacity gradient where the ribbon's core (between mid-slow and slow MAs) displays the highest opacity, the inner layer (between mid-fast and mid-slow) shows medium opacity, and the outer layer (between fast and mid-fast) presents the lightest fill, creating depth perception that emphasizes the trend center while acknowledging edge uncertainty.
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
▶ Long and Short Signals: The indicator generates long/buy signals when the trend state transitions to bullish (fast MA crosses above slow MA) and short/sell signals when transitioning to bearish (fast MA crosses below slow MA). Because these crossovers only reflect volume-validated price movements, they represent significant level of participation rather than random noise, providing higher-conviction entry signals that filter out false breakouts occurring on thin volume.
▶ Ribbon Width Dynamics: The spacing between the fast and slow moving averages creates the ribbon width, which serves as a visual proxy for trend strength and volatility. Expanding ribbons indicate accelerating directional movement with increasing separation between short-term and long-term momentum, suggesting robust trend development. Conversely, contracting ribbons signal momentum deceleration, potential trend exhaustion, or impending consolidation as the fast MA converges toward the slow MA.
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets accommodate different trading styles and market conditions. Default provides balanced trend identification suitable for swing trading on daily timeframes with moderate volume filtering and responsiveness. Fast Response delivers aggressive signal generation optimized for intraday scalping on 1-15 minute charts, using lower volume thresholds and shorter moving average periods to capture rapid momentum shifts. Smooth Trend offers conservative trend confirmation ideal for position trading on 4-hour to weekly charts, employing stricter volume requirements and extended periods to filter noise and identify only the most robust directional moves.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Three alert conditions enable automated monitoring: Bullish Trend Signal triggers when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA confirming uptrend initiation, Bearish Trend Signal activates when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA confirming downtrend initiation, and Trend Change alerts on any directional transition regardless of direction. These notifications allow you to respond to volume-validated regime shifts without continuous chart monitoring.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and display preferences, ensuring optimal contrast and visual clarity across trading environments. The adjustable fill opacity control (0-100%) allows fine-tuning of ribbon prominence, with lower opacity values create subtle background context while higher values produce bold trend emphasis. Optional bar coloring extends the trend indication directly to the price bars, providing immediate directional reference without requiring visual cross-reference to the ribbon itself.

Momentum Factor Model [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Momentum Factor Model is a multi-horizon momentum analysis system that combines weighted return calculations with risk-adjusted price projections to identify and track persistent directional trends. The indicator employs a quantitative approach by measuring momentum across multiple timeframes simultaneously, applying exponential decay weighting to balance recent versus historical price action, and constructing volatility-normalized boundaries for trend validation. This factor-based methodology provides traders and investors with a systematic framework for momentum regime identification, trend persistence evaluation, and dynamic support/resistance determination across diverse market conditions and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator constructs a composite momentum factor by calculating percentage returns over three distinct lookback periods (1, 3, and 5 bars) and combining them using exponentially decayed weights. The momentum decay parameter controls the relative importance of each timeframe, with higher decay values creating more balanced weighting between recent and historical momentum, while lower values emphasize immediate price action. This weighted momentum factor captures the multi-dimensional nature of trend strength rather than relying on a single timeframe measurement.
The expected return is derived by smoothing the momentum factor over a user-defined period, establishing a baseline for anticipated price movement based on recent momentum characteristics. This expected return then projects a factor-based price estimate, which undergoes risk adjustment through volatility normalization, creating a price estimate that accounts for both directional bias and market volatility conditions.
🟢 How to Use It
▶ Enter Long positions when the momentum factor dots (⏺) transition from red to green (bullish) , indicating the momentum factor model has confirmed positive directional bias. The color change represents a validated shift where the factor line has broken through the lower boundary and begun tracking the upper bound, signaling momentum reversal to the upside. Conversely, enter Short positions or exit existing Longs when the dots shift from green to red (bearish) , confirming negative momentum establishment and downward trend tracking.
The momentum factor dots function as a dynamic momentum-based reference pathway that can be used for position management and risk control. During bullish phases, the dot formation represents a momentum-weighted support zone where pullbacks may find stability before continuation. During bearish trends, it acts as resistance where rallies may encounter selling pressure. Price action relative to the momentum factor pathway provides context on trend health: sustained price movement in the direction of the trend (above the dots during bullish phases, below during bearish phases) confirms momentum persistence, while repeated violations may suggest weakening directional conviction.
▶ Configure alert notifications to monitor trend changes without continuous chart observation. The indicator provides three alert types: "Bullish Momentum Signal" triggers specifically on upward trend reversals, "Bearish Momentum Signal" captures downward momentum shifts, and "Momentum Trend Change" fires on any directional transition. These alerts activate only when the trend state changes from one regime to another, eliminating false triggers from intrabar noise or temporary boundary touches that don't result in confirmed trend reversals.
▶ The indicator also offers six pre-designed color schemes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, Custom) optimized for various chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring the momentum trend remains clearly visible under different display conditions. The bar coloring feature overlays trend direction directly onto the price candles, providing immediate visual confirmation of the momentum regime without needing to reference the dot pattern position.
🟢 Pro Tips for Trading and Investing
▶ Align the configuration preset with your trading timeframe and objectives: Fast Response settings excel on 1-15 minute charts for scalping and day trading where capturing quick momentum shifts is paramount, though this comes with increased signal frequency and potential whipsaws in ranging conditions. Default parameters suit hourly to daily charts for swing trading, providing balanced responsiveness without excessive noise. Smooth Trend configuration works best on 4-hour to weekly timeframes for position trading and investment analysis, prioritizing trend stability over timing precision and significantly reducing false reversals during consolidation periods.
▶ Context matters significantly for momentum-based systems. The indicator performs optimally during trending market regimes where directional persistence exists and may struggle during sideways consolidation where momentum lacks consistency. Before taking signals, assess the broader market structure: look for established higher highs/higher lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lower lows (downtrend) on higher timeframes to confirm you're trading with the dominant directional bias. During range-bound periods, reduce position sizing or wait for the momentum factor dots to establish a clear directional slope and consistent movement before committing capital.
▶ Layer the momentum factor model with complementary analysis rather than using it in isolation. Combine trend signals with volume confirmation (increasing volume on trend changes suggests institutional participation), key support/resistance levels (signals near major levels carry higher probability), and volatility context (ATR expansion can precede significant moves). Consider the momentum decay parameter's impact: values near 0.85 make the model highly sensitive to recent price action, ideal for fast-moving markets but prone to false signals; values near 0.95 create smoother momentum estimates that better filter noise but may lag major reversals.
▶ Implement dynamic position management using the momentum factor pathway as a trailing reference framework. Rather than placing fixed stops, observe the dot formation's progression: as long as it maintains its directional slope and price respects it as support (bullish) or resistance (bearish), the momentum regime remains intact. Exit or tighten stops when price closes decisively through the momentum factor dots against your position, or when the dot pathway itself flattens (losing slope) indicating momentum exhaustion. For portfolio allocation, scale position sizes based on momentum factor strength, e.g., steeper dot progression angles and faster advancement suggest stronger momentum worthy of larger allocations within your risk parameters.
Simulated Liquidation Heatmap [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator visualizes where clusters of stop-loss orders and liquidation levels are likely located, displayed as a 'heatmap'. It's based on the concept of market structure liquidity: large groups of stop orders tend to gather around obvious technical levels (like swing highs and lows), and these pools of orders often attract price movement from institutional traders. The indicator uses a fractal-based algorithm to identify these high-probability liquidation zones and displays them as dynamic, color-coded boxes.
The key feature is the thermal color gradient, which indicates the freshness (age) and therefore the relative relevance of the liquidity zone. Hot colors (e.g., Red/Yellow) represent fresh clusters that have just formed, suggesting strong and immediate liquidity interest. Cold colors (e.g., Blue/Purple) represent aged or decaying clusters that are becoming less relevant over time. This visualization allows traders to anticipate potential liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) and understand areas of significant retail and institutional positioning.
🟢 Key Features
1. Liquidity Zone Heatmap
The core function is the identification of swing high and swing low price points using a user-defined Lookback period. These points are where retail traders are statistically most likely to place their stop-loss orders. The indicator simulates the clustering of these orders by drawing a zone (box) around the detected swing point, with the vertical size controlled by the Stop/Liquidation Zone Width (%) setting.
▶ Cluster Lookback: Defines the sensitivity of swing point detection. Lower values detect frequent, minor zones (scalping/intraday); higher values detect major, stronger swing points (swing trading).
▶ Zone Width (%): Sets the percentage range above and below the swing point where stops are simulated to cluster, accounting for slippage and typical stop placement spread.
▶ Liquidity Decay: Zones gradually fade in color intensity and are eventually removed after the user-defined Liquidity Decay Period (Bars), ensuring the heatmap only displays relevant, current liquidity areas.
▶ Round Number Filter: An optional filter that limits the display to liquidity zones occurring only at psychologically significant round numbers (e.g., $100, $1,500.00), which typically attract higher concentrations of orders.
2. Thermal Color Gradient
The heatmap's color is a direct function of the zone's age, providing a visual proxy for immediate relevance.
▶ Freshness: Newly created zones are displayed in the Hot Color (high relevance).
▶ Decay: As bars pass, the zone color transitions along the gradient toward the Cold Color and increased transparency (lower relevance), until it is removed entirely.
▶ Color Schemes: Multiple pre-configured and custom color schemes are available to optimize the visualization for different chart themes and color preferences.
3. Liquidity Heat Thermometer
An optional visual thermometer is displayed on the chart to provide an instant, overall assessment of the current liquidation heat level in the immediate vicinity of the price.
▶ Calculation: The thermometer calculates an aggregate heat score based on the age and proximity of all liquidity zones within a user-defined Zone Detection Range (%) of the current price.
▶ Visual Feedback: A marker (triangle) points to the corresponding level on the thermometer's color gradient (Hot to Cold). A high reading indicates price is close to fresh, dense stop clusters, suggesting high volatility or an imminent liquidity sweep is probable. A low reading indicates price is in a low-density or aged liquidity area.
▶ Customization: The thermometer's resolution, position, and text size are fully customizable for optimal chart placement and readability.
🟢 Practical Applications
▶ Anticipate Sweeps: Prioritize trading in the direction of Hot (fresh) liquidity zones. For example, a hot low-side zone suggests strong sell-side liquidity (stop-losses) is available for large buyers to sweep.
▶ Filter Noise: Use the Round Number Filter to focus only on the highest probability liquidation zones, which are often at clean, psychological price levels.
▶ Validate Entries: Combine the Heat Thermometer with price action analysis. A rising heat level indicates increasing proximity to a major stop cluster, signaling a potential turn or an aggressive market move to sweep those stops.
▶ Risk Management: Understand that price often acts dynamically around these zones. High heat levels imply high risk/reward setups; stops should be placed strategically beyond the defined Liquidation Zone Width.
▶ Multi-Timeframe Context: Higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, 4-Hour) often reveal more significant, major liquidity zones. Use this indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min, 15-min) for execution, but prioritize zones that align with higher-timeframe structures.
TTP IFVG Signals With EMA /ICT Gold scalpingThis script uses original logic and alerting rules. in Japan
finding ICT IFVG and EMA conditions.
#IFVG, Forex, ICT, EMA, Scalping, Indicator
This indicator automatically finds IFVG (Imbalance / Fair Value Gap) zones and gives you a buy or sell signal when price comes back and breaks out through that gap.
It also draws a colored box over the gap so you can see the zone visually, and it raises alerts when a new signal appears.
High-level logic:
On every bar, the script looks back up to “IFVG_GapBars” bars.
For each offset i it checks a 3-candle pattern:
– If the low of the newer candle is above the high of the older candle: bullish FVG (price jumped up, leaving a gap).
– If the high of the newer candle is below the low of the older candle: bearish FVG (price jumped down, leaving a gap).
When a valid FVG is found:
– For a bullish FVG it looks for a later close that breaks down through that gap (sell signal).
– For a bearish FVG it looks for a later close that breaks up through that gap (buy signal).
– A moving-average trend filter must agree (downtrend for sells, uptrend for buys).
– It checks that price has not already “filled” the gap before the breakout.
If all conditions are satisfied, it:
– Sets signal_dir = 1 for a buy, or -1 for a sell.
– Draws a box from the original FVG bar to the bar just before the breakout (extended a bit to the right), between the gap high and gap low.
– Plots an ▲ label for buys or ▼ label for sells.
– Triggers the corresponding alert conditions.
Now the parameters:
PipSizeMultilier (PipSizeManual)
Multiplies the symbol’s minimum tick size (syminfo.mintick).
It is used when converting “MinFVG_Pips” into an actual price distance.
If you feel the indicator is too sensitive (too many small gaps), you can increase this multiplier to effectively require a larger price difference.
TickSize
Internal value = syminfo.mintick * PipSizeMultiplier.
This is the actual price step the script uses as a “pip” when checking minimum gap size.
FVG Search Lookback (IFVG_GapBars)
How many bars back from the current bar the script will scan for a 3-candle FVG pattern.
Larger value = it can find older FVGs, but loop cost is higher.
Min FVG Size (Pips/Points) (MinFVG_Pips)
Minimum allowed size of the gap, measured in “pips/points” using TickSize.
If the vertical distance between the gap high and gap low is smaller than this, the gap is ignored.
0.0 means “no size filter” (every FVG is allowed).
FVG Epsilon (Price Units) (FVG_EpsPoints)
Tolerance for the FVG detection.
It is subtracted/added in the condition that checks “low > old high” or “high < old low”.
0.0 means strict gap (no overlap at all). A small positive epsilon allows tiny overlaps to still count as a gap.
Show IFVG Zones (ShowZones)
If true, the script draws a box over the IFVG zone when a signal is confirmed.
If false, no boxes are drawn; you only see the ▲ / ▼ markers and alerts.
Buy Zone Color (ZoneColorBuy)
Fill color and border color for boxes created from bearish FVGs that later produce a buy signal.
Sell Zone Color (ZoneColorSell)
Fill color and border color for boxes created from bullish FVGs that later produce a sell signal.
Box Extension (Bars) (BoxExtension)
How many extra bars to extend the right side of the box beyond the breakout bar.
The internal right coordinate is “bar_index - 1 + BoxExtension”.
Increase this if you want the zone to visually extend further into the future.
MA Period (MA_Period)
Lookback length of the moving average used as a trend filter.
MA Type (MA_Kind)
Type of moving average: “SMA” or “EMA”.
If SMA is chosen, the script uses ta.sma; if EMA, it uses ta.ema.
Moving-average filter behavior:
For sell signals (from bullish FVG): MA must be sloping down (MA < MA ) and price must be below MA.
For buy signals (from bearish FVG): MA must be sloping up (MA > MA ) and price must be above MA.
If these conditions are not satisfied, the FVG is ignored even if the gap and breakout conditions are met.
Signals and alerts:
signal_dir = 1 → buy signal, ▲ label below the bar, “IFVG Buy Alert” / “IFVG Buy/Sell Alert” can fire.
signal_dir = -1 → sell signal, ▼ label above the bar, “IFVG Sell Alert” / “IFVG Buy/Sell Alert” can fire.
signal_dir = 0 → no new signal on this bar.
In short:
This indicator finds 3-candle IFVG gaps, filters them by size and trend, waits for a clean breakout through the gap, draws a box on the original gap zone, and gives you a clear buy or sell signal plus alerts.
Bookmap Style Aggressor Bubbles
This indicator is designed to emulate the visual aesthetic of professional Order Flow software (such as Bookmap) directly within TradingView. It replaces the traditional candlestick view with a clean "Microstructure" Step Line and highlights significant volume events using dynamic "Aggressor Bubbles."
This tool is perfect for traders who practice Order Flow analysis, Scalping, or VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) and want to visualize the relative intensity of buyers and sellers without the noise of traditional wicks and bodies.
1. How it Works
Since TradingView Pine Script operates on OHLCV (Level 1) data, this indicator uses a heuristic model to approximate Order Flow dynamics:
Aggressor Bubbles (Volume Spikes):
The script calculates a Relative Volume (RVOL) metric by comparing the current bar's volume against a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
If the current volume exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., 2.0x the average), a bubble is plotted.
Size: The bubble size scales dynamically based on how massive the volume spike is (Small, Normal, Large, Huge).
Direction (Color): The aggressor side is approximated using the price action of the bar. If Close >= Open, it is treated as Buy Aggression (Green). If Close < Open, it is treated as Sell Aggression (Red).
Microstructure Price Line:
Standard candles can obscure the immediate path of price. This indicator includes a Step Line option that plots the closing price. This mimics the "Last Price" feed seen in DOM-based software, allowing you to see exactly where price held or broke.
2. Features
Smart Filtering: Filters out low-volume noise. You only see bubbles when "Whales" or significant liquidity changes occur.
Visual Customization: Fully adjustable colors for Buy/Sell bubbles and the price line.
Alert System: Includes a built-in alert that triggers whenever a significant Aggressor Bubble appears, allowing you to be notified of high-activity moments instantly.
Clean Aesthetic: Optimized for Dark Mode/Black backgrounds.
3. How to Use
Chart Setup (Important): For the best experience, hide your standard candles. Go to Chart Settings > Symbol and uncheck Body, Borders, and Wick.
Settings: Set your background to Black.
Interpretation:
Breakouts: Look for large bubbles pushing price through a key level. This indicates strong momentum.
Absorptions: Look for large bubbles appearing at the top/bottom of a range without price follow-through. This often suggests a reversal (Passive limit orders absorbing the aggressive market orders).
4. Technical Disclosure & Limitations
Please note that TradingView Pine Script provides access to OHLCV (History) data, not historical Tick-by-Tick or Level 2 (Depth of Market) data. Therefore, this indicator is a simulation. The "Aggressor" side is derived from bar direction, and the bubbles represent executed volume per bar, not individual tick clusters. It is intended for visual analysis and identifying high-volume nodes relative to recent history.
SPY Scalping Mobile Compact v3 - Ben PhamUse this Spy Scalping Mobile Compact toolkit as handrail to climb up or down the stair. It help you visualize market trend clearly on those SMA line 5/8/13. First rule of entry is wait for all 3 MA lines start to separate and above vwap line for call, below for put, confluence with RSI > 50 for call, <50 for put. Second rule of entry is NEVER chase on first breakout candle, ALWAYS wait for pull back into SMA 8 or 13 with wick touch the line but candle closed back to confirmed direction. Stop loss if candle closed other side of SMA 13 line. If position turn green, use SMA 5 (blue) or SMA 8 (yellow) to trail for max profit. Only exit after candle body show smaller / doji or when blue line curve into yellow line. Best to use this indicator with my other Multi Time Frame Bias indicator for confirming entry with level of confidence.
Default color code lines:
- Blue – SMA 5, Yellow SMA 8, Red SMA 13, Purple VWAP
- Horizontal lines: Green – Opening range high, Red – Opening range low
Teal – premarket high and low
Orange thick – previous day high and low
- Red dots line – equal high, green dots line – equal low
Gold Master: Swing + Daily Scalp (Fixed & Working)How to use it correctly
Daily chart → Focus only on big green/red triangles (Swing trades)
5m / 15m / 1H chart → Focus on small circles (Scalp trades)
You can turn each system on/off independently in the settings
Works perfectly on XAUUSD, GLD, GC futures, and even DXY (inverse signals).
Kaufman Trend Navigator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Kaufman Trend Navigator is an adaptive trend following system that combines efficiency-weighted price smoothing with volatility-adjusted bands to identify and track directional market movements. The indicator dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions, becoming more responsive during trending periods and more conservative during consolidation. This dual-layer approach provides traders and investors with a systematic framework for trend identification, entry timing, and risk management across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator employs an efficiency ratio mechanism that measures the directional movement of price relative to total price volatility over a defined lookback period. This ratio determines the adaptive response rate, allowing the system to distinguish between genuine directional moves and random market noise. When price exhibits strong directional characteristics, the internal smoothing accelerates to track the trend more closely. Conversely, during periods of low efficiency or choppy price action, the smoothing becomes more conservative to filter out false signals.
Volatility bands are constructed using normalized range measurements, creating dynamic upper and lower boundaries around the adaptive trend calculation. These bands expand and contract based on recent market volatility, providing context-dependent thresholds for trend validation. The trend line itself updates through a band-following logic where it tracks the relevant boundary based on the current directional bias, creating a stepping mechanism that maintains trend persistence while allowing for validated reversals.
The visual representation uses a gradient-weighted display to emphasize the primary trend line while maintaining clarity on price charts. Trend direction changes trigger when the internal logic confirms a boundary crossover, generating signals for potential position entries or exits. The system includes preset configurations calibrated for different trading timeframes, from responsive settings for scalping to smoother parameters suited for swing and position trading.
🟢 How to Use It
▶ Enter Long positions when the trend line transitions to Bullish (Green) coloring, which indicates upward directional bias has been established. Conversely, enter Short positions or exit Longs when the trend line shifts to Bearish (Red), which signals confirmed downward momentum.
The trend line itself can be used as dynamic support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends, providing logical areas for position management and stop placement. Price remaining above the line during bullish phases or below during bearish phases can also be used as a confirmation of trend strength and continuation probability.
▶ Built-in alert functionality provides real-time notifications for trend changes without requiring continuous chart monitoring. Configure alerts for Bullish Trend Signal to capture upward reversals, Bearish Trend Signal for downward shifts, or the general Trend Change alert to monitor both directions simultaneously. These alerts trigger only on confirmed trend transitions, reducing noise from intrabar fluctuations.
The indicator also includes six color presets (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, Custom) to optimize visual clarity across different chart themes and lighting conditions. Select presets based on your monitor setup and background preference to ensure immediate trend recognition without visual strain. Bar coloring can be enabled to highlight trend direction directly on the price chart, eliminating the need to reference the trend line position during rapid market analysis.
🟢 Pro Tips for Trading and Investing
▶ Match the preset configuration (or your preferred settings) to your trading timeframe: use Fast Response for intraday charts (1-15 minutes), Default for swing trading (hourly to daily), and Smooth Trend for position trading (4-hour to weekly).
▶ Combine trend signals with volume analysis and market structure to filter lower-probability setups. During sideways markets, expect increased signal frequency with reduced reliability; consider waiting for the trend line to establish a clear slope before committing capital.
▶ Use the trend line as a trailing reference rather than a fixed stop level, allowing normal intrabar volatility while protecting against genuine reversals.
▶ For portfolio management, align position sizing with trend strength by observing the angle and consistency of the trend line progression.
🎯 Advanced Scalping Indicator - Triple ConfirmationThis is the High Probability Scalping Indicator
Risk Reward: 1:2/3/4 or keep trailing SL
30s Model IndicatorThe Model
The 30s model is a NASDAQ (NQ) scalping strategy based on entries within 30-second fair-value gaps (FVGs), formed after liquidity is taken on a higher timeframe.
What the Indicator Does
The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps: swing highs/lows with at least "Left Pivot" bars to the left, capturing at least one prior swing high/low.
It then detects if a 30s FVG formed within "FVG Distance from Swing" bars of the latest liquidity-taking swing high/low.
If found, it verifies the FVG meets the "Minimum FVG Size" and that forming candles didn't hit the take-profit level.
When conditions match, the FVG is highlighted with entry, take-profit, and stop-loss lines, plus optional price labels. The appearance of all the elements can be customized in the indicator settings.
You can also setup alerts on the indicator that will trigger whenever a valid 30s is formed.

Macketings 1min ScalpingThis is a hyper-reactive scalping strategy designed for the 1-minute chart. It utilizes a strict four-EMA hierarchy (80/90/340/500) to ensure trades are only taken in the strongest aligned market trend. The strategy is built to be extremely tight on risk and focuses on capturing the immediate, high-momentum swing that follows a confirmed EMA retest or breakout.
Key Mechanics (How it Works):
Strict Trend Alignment: Entry is only permitted when the faster EMA band (80/90) and the price action are correctly aligned with the slow trend (340/500).
Long: EMA 80/90 must be above EMA 340/500, AND EMA 340 must be above EMA 500. (And vice-versa for Short.)
Expanded Retest Entry: The strategy waits for the price to retest or briefly enter the 80/90 band, then immediately enters upon the confirmed momentum breakout from that band.
Dynamic Risk Management (Tight Ride): The strategy is engineered to ride the wave aggressively while protecting capital immediately:
Extremely Tight Initial Stop Loss (0.2% default): Limits initial risk instantly.
Break-Even Security: Once profit hits 0.3%, the Stop Loss is automatically trailed to secure 0.2% profit (a risk-free trade).
Aggressive Exit Logic: Positions are closed not only upon hitting the Take Profit target (2.5%) but also immediately if the 80/90 EMA band crosses the 340 EMA, signaling a critical loss of momentum.
Disclaimer:
This strategy requires high-liquidity instruments and is best used on low timeframes (1-minute) due to its dependency on fast momentum shifts and tight stops. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial before deployment.
VWAP TrendSignalVWAP TrendSignal
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is the market’s true fair value — the benchmark institutions use to see when price is balanced, extended, or trending with real intent.
Price often snaps back when it moves too far (mean reversion), and only shows genuine strength when it holds above or below VWAP.
VWAP TrendSignal makes this insight effortless by color-coding VWAP direction:
Yellow = VWAP rising → bullish pressure
Red = VWAP falling → bearish pressure
No bands. No noise. Just pure directional clarity.
Anchor VWAP to the Session, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year, and tailor the Slope Smoothing Filter to your timeframe:
1–2 smoothing → fast & reactive (1–5m scalping)
3–5 smoothing → clean & stable (5–15m intraday)
6–10 smoothing → slow flips (1H–4H swings)
10–15 smoothing → macro bias only (Daily/Weekly)
The line adapts to how you trade.
How to Use It
Mean Reversion
When price stretches far from VWAP, expect pullbacks or snapbacks.
Trend Direction
Yellow supports long bias, red supports short bias.
Simple, reliable, instantly visible.
Balance Zones
Price sitting near VWAP = compression, buildup, or chop.
A perfect signal to wait or prepare for a breakout.
Why It Works
VWAP TrendSignal distills institutional logic into a clean, single-line tool.
It shows fair value, trend slope, and balance all at once — making your chart clearer and your decisions faster.
Once you get used to reading it, trading without it feels blind.
Frequency Momentum Oscillator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Frequency Momentum Oscillator applies Fourier-based spectral analysis principles to price action to identify regime shifts and directional momentum. It calculates Fourier coefficients for selected harmonic frequencies on detrended price data, then measures the distribution of power across low, mid, and high frequency bands to distinguish between persistent directional trends and transient market noise. This approach provides traders with a quantitative framework for assessing whether current price action represents meaningful momentum or merely random fluctuations, enabling more informed entry and exit decisions across various asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The calculation process removes the dominant trend from price data by subtracting a simple moving average, isolating cyclical components for frequency analysis:
detrendedPrice = close - ta.sma(close , frequencyPeriod)
The detrended price series undergoes frequency decomposition through Fourier coefficient calculation across the first 8 harmonics. For each harmonic frequency, the algorithm computes sine and cosine components across the lookback window, then derives power as the sum of squared coefficients:
for k = 1 to 8
cosSum = 0.0
sinSum = 0.0
for n = 0 to frequencyPeriod - 1
angle = 2 * math.pi * k * n / frequencyPeriod
cosSum := cosSum + detrendedPrice * math.cos(angle)
sinSum := sinSum + detrendedPrice * math.sin(angle)
power = (cosSum * cosSum + sinSum * sinSum) / frequencyPeriod
Power measurements are aggregated into three frequency bands: low frequencies (harmonics 1-2) capturing persistent cycles, mid frequencies (harmonics 3-4), and high frequencies (harmonics 5-8) representing noise. Each band's power normalizes against total spectral power to create percentage distributions:
lowFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (lowFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
highFreqNorm = totalPower > 0 ? (highFreqPower / totalPower) * 100 : 33.33
The normalized frequency components undergo exponential smoothing before calculating spectral balance as the difference between low and high frequency power:
smoothLow = ta.ema(lowFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
smoothHigh = ta.ema(highFreqNorm, smoothingPeriod)
spectralBalance = smoothLow - smoothHigh
Spectral balance combines with price momentum through directional multiplication, producing a composite signal that integrates frequency characteristics with price direction:
momentum = ta.change(close , frequencyPeriod/2)
compositeSignal = spectralBalance * math.sign(momentum)
finalSignal = ta.ema(compositeSignal, smoothingPeriod)
The final signal oscillates around zero, with positive values indicating low-frequency dominance coupled with upward momentum (trending up), and negative values indicating either high-frequency dominance (choppy market) or downward momentum (trending down).
🟢 How to Use This Indicator
→ Long/Short Signals: the indicator generates long signals when the smoothed composite signal crosses above zero (indicating low-frequency directional strength dominates) and short signals when it crosses below zero (indicating bearish momentum persistence).
→ Upper and Lower Reference Lines: the +25 and -25 reference lines serve as threshold markers for momentum strength. Readings beyond these levels indicate strong directional conviction, while oscillations between them suggest consolidation or weakening momentum. These references help traders distinguish between strong trending regimes and choppy transitional periods.
→ Preconfigured Presets: three optimized configurations are available with Default (32, 3) offering balanced responsiveness, Fast Response (24, 2) designed for scalping and intraday trading, and Smooth Trend (40, 5) calibrated for swing trading and position trading with enhanced noise filtration.
→ Built-in Alerts: the indicator includes three alert conditions for automated monitoring - Long Signal (momentum shifts bullish), Short Signal (momentum shifts bearish), and Signal Change (any directional transition). These alerts enable traders to receive real-time notifications without continuous chart monitoring.
→ Color Customization: four visual themes (Classic green/red, Aqua blue/orange, Cosmic aqua/purple, Custom) allow chart customization for different display environments and personal preferences.
NQ Scalping WMAThis indicator plots two Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs) derived from the high and close to visualize short-term momentum extremes on NQ (Nasdaq futures). I built it for myself for scalping reversals on the 1-minute timeframe.
The area between the upper WMA (“Top-Source”) and lower WMA (“Bot-Source”) is filled with contextual color: green when price is above the top WMA, red when price is below the bottom WMA, and neutral gray otherwise. This makes it easy to spot overextensions, potential snap-back zones, and quick mean-reversion opportunities. Inputs include WMA length, line color, and separate sources for top/bottom WMAs, allowing fast tuning for changing intraday volatility.
The original code I used to make this is from PlayBit EMA by FFriZz

BTC CME Gaps Detector [SwissAlgo]BTC CME Gaps Detector
Track Unfilled Gaps & Identify Price Magnets
------------------------------------------------------
Overview
The BTC CME Gap Detector identifies and tracks unfilled price gaps on any timeframe (1-minute recommended for scalping) to gauge potential trading bias.
Verify Gap Behavior Yourself : Use TradingView's Replay Mode on the 1-Minute chart to observe how the price interacts with gaps. Load the BTC1! ticker (Bitcoin CME Futures), enable Replay Mode, and play forward through time (for example: go back 15 days). You may observe patterns such as price frequently returning to fill gaps, nearest gaps acting as near-term targets, and gaps serving as potential support/resistance zones. Some gaps may fill quickly, while others may remain open for longer periods. This hands-on analysis lets you independently assess how gaps may influence price movement in real market conditions and whether you may use this indicator as a complement to your trading analysis.
------------------------------------------------------
Purpose
Price gaps occur when there is a discontinuity between consecutive candles - when the current candle's low is above the previous candle's high (gap up), or when the current candle's high is below the previous candle's low (gap down).
This indicator identifies and tracks these gaps on any timeframe to help traders:
Identify gap zones that may attract price (potential "price magnets")
Monitor gap fill progression
Assess potential directional bias based on nearest unfilled gaps (long, short)
Analyze market structure and liquidity imbalances
------------------------------------------------------
Why Use This Indicator?
Universal Gap Detection : Identifies all gaps on any timeframe (1-minute, hourly, daily, etc.)
Multi-Candle Mitigation Tracking : Detects gap fills that occur across multiple candles
Distance Analysis : Shows percentage distance to nearest bullish and bearish gaps
Visual Representation : Color-coded boxes indicate gap status (active vs. mitigated)
Age Filtering : Option to display only gaps within specified time periods (3/6/12/24 months), as older gaps may lose relevance
ATR-Based Sizing : Minimum gap size adjusts to instrument volatility to filter noise (i.e. small gaps)
------------------------------------------------------
Trading Concept
Gaps represent price zones where no trading occurred. Historical market behavior suggests that unfilled gaps may attract price action as markets tend to revisit areas of incomplete price discovery. This phenomenon creates potential trading opportunities:
Bullish gaps (above current price) may act as upside targets where the price could move to fill the gap
Bearish gaps (below current price) may act as downside targets where price could move to fill the gap
The nearest gap often provides directional bias, as closer gaps may have a higher probability of being filled in the near term
This indicator helps quantify gap proximity and provides a visual reference for these potential target zones.
EXAMPLE
Step 1: Bearish Gaps Appear Below Price
Step 2: Price Getting Close to Fill Gap
Step 3: Gap Mitigated Gap
------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Setup
Timeframe: 1-minute chart recommended for maximum gap detection frequency. Works on all timeframes (higher timeframes will show fewer, larger gaps).
Symbol: Any tradable instrument. Originally designed for BTC1! (CME Bitcoin Futures) but compatible with all symbols.
Settings:
ATR Length: 14 (default)
Min Gap Size: 0.5x ATR (adjust based on timeframe and noise level)
Gap Age Limit: 3 months (configurable)
Max Historical Gaps: 300 (adjustable 1-500)
------------------------------------------------------
How It Works
Gap Detection : Identifies price discontinuities on every candle where:
Gap up: current candle low > previous candle high
Gap down: current candle high < previous candle low
Minimum gap size filter (ATR-based) eliminates insignificant gaps
Mitigation Tracking : Monitors when price touches both gap boundaries. A gap is marked as filled when the price has touched both the top and bottom of the gap zone, even if this occurs across multiple candles.
Visual Elements :
Green boxes: Unfilled gaps above current price (potential bullish targets)
Red boxes: Unfilled gaps below current price (potential bearish targets)
Gray boxes: Filled gaps (historical reference)
Labels: Display gap type, price level, and distance percentage
Analysis Table: Shows :
Distance % to nearest bullish gap (above price)
Distance % to nearest bearish gap (below price)
Trade bias (LONG if nearest gap is above, SHORT if nearest gap is below)
------------------------------------------------------
Key Features
Detects gaps on any timeframe (1m, 5m, 1h, 1D, etc.)
Boxes extend 500 bars forward for active gaps, stop at the fill bar for mitigated gaps
Real-time distance calculations update on every candle
Configurable age filter removes outdated gaps
ATR multiplier ensures gap detection adapts to market volatility and timeframe

Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).
