ka66: FX Sessions High/LowThis indicator is specific to the 24-hour Forex Market. It provides 2 features: Demarcating forex sessions with open and close lines. Note that looking at various sources online, we use the convention that the Asia session starts with the Tokyo market open, rather than the earlier Sydney session. Presumably this is better since we then have more liquidity in the market. Note that we have three sessions: Asia, London, New York. At the end of each session, we begin plotting that (closed) session's high and low, which acts as a natural support and resistance for the Forex market. This is the key feature it provides. The first feature is mainly there for a visual guide, which can be turned off via the UI settings, but it certainly helps verifying the logic! For more background, we are taking the idea of Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), but adjusting it to a multi-session market like Forex. In essence, this is is a "Previous Session High/Low" indicator. PDH/PDL works fine when you have a market with Regular Trading Hours, ignoring Extended Hours. However, in the Forex market, each session can have differing sentiments, e.g. we often see say London bringing prices up, and New York bringing them back down. The break of session high/lows (or bouncing off them) can reflect where the potential direction price is going to take. I also categorised this as a Sentiment indicator, because support and resistance areas where prices react do provide the sentiment of the market. They aren't just lines, they are prices of interest to major players.

Session High and Low IndicatorThis script is meant for stocks that have a pre-market session. It is meant to be used on the 1 min time frame. This script will draw a green line at the high of pre-market, and a red line at the low of pre-market and extend these lines across the regular session day This makes it easy to see if price action during regular market has broken above pre-market high or broken below pre-market low. The high/low skips any quick spikes in price action (similar to what happens at 8:30 am every day).

Session High and Session LowI have heard many people ask for a script that will identify the high and low of a specific session. So, I made one. Important Note: This indicator has to be set up properly or you will get an error. Important things to note are the length of the range and the session definition. The idea is that you would set it up for what's relevant to your trading. Going too far back in the chart history will cause errors. Setting the session for a time that is not on the chart can cause errors. If you set it to look farther back than there are bars to display, you may get an error. What I've found is that if you get an error, you just need to change the settings to reflect available data and it will be able to compile the script. At the time of its publishing, the default range start is set to 10/01/2020. If you're looking at this years later, you'll probably have to set the range to something more recent. Features: Plot or Lines: Using Plot (displayed), the indicator will track the high/low from the end of the session into the next session. Then at the start of the next session, it will start tracking the high/low of that session until its end, then track that high/low until the start of the next session then reset. Using lines, it will extend horizontal lines to the right indefinitely. The number of sessions back that the lines apply to is a user-defined number of sessions. There are limits to the number of lines that can be cast on a chart (roughly 40-50). So, the maximum number of sessions you can apply the lines to is the last 21 sessions (42 lines total). That gets really noisy though so I can't imagine that is a limiting factor. Colors: You can change the background color and its transparency, as well as turn the background color on or off. You can change the highs and lows colors You can adjust the line width to your preference Session Length: You can use a continuous session covering any user-defined period (provided its not tooooo many candles back) You can define the session length for intraday You can exclude weekends Display Options: You can adjust the colors, transparency, and linewidth You can display the plotline or horizontal lines You can show/hide the background color. You can change how many sessions back the horizontal lines will track Let me know if there's anything this script is missing or if you run into any issues that I might be able to help resolve. Here's what it looks like with Lines for the last 5 sessions and different background color.

Session High/Low [gdad]There are many strategies that use the 5 min, 10 min or 15 min opening candle. There are also strategies that look at the behavior of other markets such as Tokyo and London as well as the pre-market. Along with these strategies, there is one by The Rumers (@the.rumers) that also looks at the Day ATR with his Padder Scalp strategy. I trade Futures and like to see how the market has done for varying trading sessions. I found it was time consuming and distracting to my trading to manually mark all these different things up. This indicator takes TradingView's Trading Sessions indicator and combined ideas borrowed the idea of taking the opening range breakout and extending it to the end of the trading session from Opening Range & Prior Day High/Low along with some additional enhancements and provided information. It comes pre-built with eight different sessions: Session 1: Futures Session Session 2: Tokyo Session 3: London Session 4: NY Pre-Market Session 5: New York Session 6: 5 min open Session 7: 10 min open Session 8: 15 min open The names, time spans, time zones, colors, whether to show the mid-line or averages and whether and how far to extend them are all customizable once you click Show Session. You can show none, one or multiple sessions. You can also choose which text shows up in the text box (the same will show for each session). Warning: The Extend to Time range must start during the Session Time. You cannot have a Session Time of 9:30-9:45 and an Extend Time from 10:00-4:00. Average is calculated by the sum of the close divided by the number of bars for the session.

Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot --- ## 📖 Table of Contents 1. (#what-this-indicator-does) 2. (#core-concepts) 3. (#visual-components) 4. (#the-cave-diving-framework) 5. (#how-to-use-it-for-trading) 6. (#settings--customization) 7. (#best-practices) 8. (#common-scenarios) --- ## What This Indicator Does The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*. ### Why "Unmitigated" Matters In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in: - **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels - **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support - **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels - **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster --- ## Core Concepts ### 1. **Sessions & Age** The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity. **Age Categories:** - 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed - 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance - 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days - 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones. ### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking** You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart. **Why this matters:** - Higher timeframe levels have more weight - You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously - Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum ### 3. **Mitigation** A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it: - **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them - **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter. --- ## Visual Components ### 📊 The Dashboard Table Located in the corner of your chart (configurable), the table shows: ``` ┌─────────┬───────────┬────────┬─────┬───────┐ │ Level │ Price │ Points │ Age │ % │ ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↑↑↑↑↑ │ 21,450.25 │ +45.50 │ 8 │ +0.21%│ ← 5th High (Ancient) │ ↑↑↑↑ │ 21,430.00 │ +25.25 │ 5 │ +0.12%│ ← 4th High (Old) │ ↑↑↑ │ 21,420.50 │ +15.75 │ 3 │ +0.07%│ ← 3rd High (Medium) │ ↑↑ │ 21,412.00 │ +7.25 │ 1 │ +0.03%│ ← 2nd High (New) │ ↑ ⚠️ │ 21,408.25 │ +3.50 │ 0 │ +0.02%│ ← 1st High (Proximity Alert!) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 15 mins │ 🟢 │ Δ 8.75 │ 2U │ │ ← Status Row ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↓ ⚠️ │ 21,399.50 │ -5.25 │ 0 │ -0.02%│ ← 1st Low (Proximity Alert!) │ ↓↓ │ 21,395.00 │ -9.75 │ 2 │ -0.05%│ ← 2nd Low (Medium) │ ↓↓↓ │ 21,385.25 │ -19.50 │ 4 │ -0.09%│ ← 3rd Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓ │ 21,370.00 │ -34.75 │ 6 │ -0.16%│ ← 4th Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓↓ │ 21,350.75 │ -54.00 │ 9 │ -0.25%│ ← 5th Low (Ancient) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 📊 15↑ / 12↓ │ ← Statistics (optional) └─────────┴───────────┴────────┴─────┴───────┘ ``` **Reading the Table:** - **Level Column**: Number of arrows indicates position (1-5), color shows age - **Price**: The actual price level - **Points**: Distance from current price (+ for highs, - for lows) - **Age**: Number of full sessions since creation - **%**: Percentage distance from current price - **⚠️**: Proximity alert - price is within threshold distance - **Status Row**: Shows timeframe, direction (🟢 bullish/🔴 bearish), tunnel width (Δ), and Strat pattern ### 📈 Visual Elements on Chart **1. Level Lines** - Horizontal lines showing each unmitigated level - **Color-coded by age**: Bright colors = new, darker = older, deep purple/teal = ancient - **Line style**: Customizable (solid, dashed, dotted) - Automatically turn **yellow** when price gets close (proximity alert) **2. Price Labels** - Show the exact price and age: "21,450.25 (8d)" - Fixed at small size for clean readability - Positioned with configurable offset from current bar **3. Bands (Optional)** - Shaded zones between pairs of unmitigated levels - Default: Between 1st and 2nd levels (the "tunnel") - Can switch to 1st-3rd, 2nd-3rd, or disable entirely - **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs - **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows - These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones --- ## The Cave Diving Framework This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management. ### 🤿 The Core Metaphor **Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.** #### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions) - **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows) - **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested - **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned - **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit #### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions) - **Light**: Medium intensity colors - **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming - **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back #### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions) - **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue) - **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance - **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required #### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions) - **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal - **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones - **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error ### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator: - Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart - Shows **⚠️** in the table - Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly" This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply. --- ## How to Use It for Trading ### 🎯 Entry Strategies **1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)** - Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level - Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing - Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns) - **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry **2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)** - Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it) - Enter on the retest of the newly broken level - **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry **3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)** - When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels - Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support - Exit at opposite side or when bands break ### 🚨 Risk Management Rules **The Ancient Level Rule** > Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits. These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there. **The Proximity Exit Rule** > When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out. This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory. **The New Level Filter** > Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence. Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance. ### 📊 Reading Market Structure **Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)** - Unmitigated lows are aging and holding - Price respecting the lower band - Old lows below acting as strong support - **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels **Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)** - Unmitigated highs are aging and holding - Price respecting the upper band - Old highs above acting as strong resistance - **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels **The Tunnel Compression** - When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight - This often precedes a breakout - **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break ### 🔄 Strat Integration The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row: - **1** - Inside bar (consolidation) - **2U** - Broke high only (bullish) - **2D** - Broke low only (bearish) - **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility) Use these with the unmitigated levels: - **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection - **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce - **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops --- ## Settings & Customization ### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings **HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes) - The timeframe for high/low calculation - **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping - **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading - **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading **Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2) - How many sessions before a level is considered "old" - Lower = more levels classified as old - Higher = stricter definition of significance ### 📊 Level Display Options **Show Level Lines** - Toggle: Display horizontal lines for each level - **Turn off** if you prefer a cleaner chart and only want the table **Show Level Labels** - Toggle: Display price labels on the chart - **Turn off** for minimal visual clutter **Label Offset** - Distance (in bars) from current price bar to place labels - Increase if labels overlap with price action **Level Line Width & Style** - Customize visual appearance - **Thin solid**: Minimal distraction - **Thick dashed**: High visibility ### 🎨 Age-Based Color Coding Customize colors for each age category (high and low separately): - **New (0-1 sessions)**: Default bright red/green - **Medium (2-3 sessions)**: Default medium intensity - **Old (4+ sessions)**: Default dark red/blue - **Ancient (7+ sessions)**: Default deep purple/teal **Color Strategy Tips:** - Keep ancient levels in highly contrasting colors - Use opacity (transparency) if you want subtler lines - Match your chart's color scheme for aesthetic coherence ### 🎯 Band Settings **Band Mode** - **1st-2nd** (Default): The primary "tunnel" between most recent levels - **1st-3rd**: Wider band, more room for price action - **2nd-3rd**: Band between less immediate levels - **Disabled**: No bands, lines only **Band Colors & Borders** - Customize fill color and border separately - **Tip**: Keep bands very transparent (90-95% transparency) to avoid obscuring price action ### ⚠️ Proximity Alert Settings **Enable Proximity Alerts** - Toggle: Turn on/off the warning system - When enabled, levels within threshold distance show ⚠️ and turn yellow **Alert Threshold** (Default: 5.0 points) - Distance in points to trigger the alert - **For NQ**: 5-10 points is reasonable - **For ES**: 2-5 points is reasonable - **For MES/MNQ**: Scale down proportionally **Alert Highlight Color** - The color lines/labels turn when proximity is triggered - Default: Yellow (high visibility) ### 📋 Table Settings **Show Table** - Toggle: Display the dashboard table **Table Location** - Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right - Choose based on your chart layout and other indicators **Text Size** - Tiny, Small, Normal, Large - **Recommendation**: Normal for 1080p monitors, Small for 4K **Show % Distance** - Toggle: Add percentage distance column to table - Useful for comparing relative distances across different price ranges **Show Statistics Row** - Toggle: Show total count of unmitigated highs/lows - Format: "📊 15↑ / 12↓" (15 unmitigated highs, 12 unmitigated lows) - Useful for gauging overall market structure ### ⚡ Performance Settings **Enable Level Cleanup** - Automatically remove very old levels to maintain performance - **Keep on** unless you want unlimited history **Max Lookback Levels** (Default: 10,000) - Maximum number of levels to track - 10,000 ≈ 6+ months of 15-minute bars - **Increase** if you want more history - **Decrease** if experiencing performance issues **Max Boxes Per Band** (Default: 245) - TradingView limit is 500 total boxes - With 2 bands, 245 each = 490 total (safe maximum) --- ## Best Practices ### 🎯 Position Management **1. Scaling In Near Old Levels** ``` Price approaching 5-session-old low: - First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️) - Second position: 40% size at exact level - Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection ``` **2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels** ``` Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high: - Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️) - Exit 30% at exact level - Trail stop on remaining 20% ``` ### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you: **1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns** - **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level - **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings - **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear - **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert - **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades - **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed **2. Building Better Habits** The color-coded age system trains your brain to: - Respect levels that have proven themselves over time - Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels) - Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed **3. Emotional Regulation** The proximity alerts serve as: - **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones - **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing - **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure ### 📝 Pre-Market Routine **Daily Setup Checklist:** 1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price 2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price 3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones 4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide? 5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings 6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___." ### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence **Multi-Timeframe Strategy:** Run the indicator on **three instances**: - **15-minute** (short-term structure) - **1-hour** (intermediate structure) - **4-hour** (major structure) **Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone. **Example:** - 15m: Old low at 21,400 - 1H: Ancient low at 21,398 - 4H: Ancient low at 21,395 - **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone ### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do **Not a Crystal Ball** - It doesn't predict where price will go - It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided - The trading decisions are still yours **Not an Entry Signal Generator** - It provides context and structure - You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.) **Not Foolproof** - Ancient levels get broken - Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends - The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level --- ## Common Scenarios ### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead" **Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows: - 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old) - 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old) - 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old) **Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant. **Action**: - Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster) - Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd) - Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435 **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering. --- ### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches" **Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500. **Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone. **Action**: - If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level. - If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses) - Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests **Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan. --- ### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure" **Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High. **Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant. **Action**: - Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level - If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish - If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish - The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map. --- ### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout" **Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging. **Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely. **Action**: - Don't try to predict direction - Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low - When break occurs, trade the retest - Expect volatility - use wider stops **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts. --- ### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure" **Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓" **Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests: - Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind) - Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated) - Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above) **Action**: - Look at the age of those 22 highs - If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet - If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs - Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows? **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper? --- ## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.** Every unmitigated level represents: - Liquidity left behind - Orders waiting to be filled - Institutional interest potentially parked - Psychological significance for participants The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break. Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to: 1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones 2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk 3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them 4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached. **Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"* Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align. Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler. --- ### 🎯 Quick Reference Card **Color System:** - 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water - 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth - 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone - 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment **Symbols:** - ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th) - ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th) - ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone) - 🟢 = Bullish structure - 🔴 = Bearish structure - Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low) **Critical Rules:** 1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions) 2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️) 3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance 4. Wait for confluence when entering 5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role --- **Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure. Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯 --- *"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You* In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.

Non-Psychological Levels🟩 Non-Psychological Levels is a structural analysis tool that segments price action into objective ranges, identifying Broken and Unbroken levels without relying on psychological or time-based assumptions. By emphasizing mechanically derived price behavior, it provides traders with a clear framework for analyzing support and resistance in a consistent and unbiased manner across various market conditions. This indicator introduces a new approach to understanding market structure by focusing on price movement within defined segments, free from behavioral patterns, round numbers, or specific time intervals. While the indicator is time-agnostic in design, it works within the natural time progression of the chart, ensuring that segmentation aligns with the inherent structure of price movement. Broken levels, where price has breached a structural boundary, and Unbroken levels, which remain intact, are visualized with horizontal lines. These structural zones are complemented by dynamically boxed segments that contextualize both historical and ongoing price behavior. By offering an objective perspective, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator complements psychology-based tools, helping traders explore market dynamics from multiple angles. When structural levels align with psychological zones, they reinforce critical price areas; when they differ, they provide opportunities to analyze price behavior from an alternative lens. This indicator is designed as both an educational framework and a practical tool, encouraging a deeper understanding of structural price behavior in technical analysis. ⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕ The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is grounded in the principle of analyzing price behavior without reliance on psychological assumptions or time-based factors. Its primary purpose is to provide a structural framework for identifying support and resistance levels by focusing solely on price movement within mechanically defined segments. By removing external influences such as sentiment, time intervals, or market sessions, the indicator offers an unbiased lens through which traders can observe price dynamics. Non-psychology, as defined here, refers to an approach that excludes behavioral and emotional patterns—like fear, greed, or herd mentality—from price analysis. Traditional tools often depend on these patterns to identify zones such as pivots or Fibonacci retracements, but these methods can be inconsistent in volatile markets. In contrast, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator focuses entirely on what price is doing, free from assumptions about trader behavior or external time constraints. The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanically driven design segments price action into consistent ranges, highlighting "Broken" levels (where price breaches structural boundaries) and "Unbroken" levels (where price holds). These structural zones remain unaffected by subjective or external influences, ensuring clarity and consistency across different markets and timeframes. By doing so, the indicator reveals a pure view of price structure, independent of psychological biases. Importantly, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not intended to replace psychology-based tools but to complement them. When its structural levels align with psychological zones like round numbers or session highs/lows, the significance of these areas is reinforced. Conversely, when the levels differ, the contrast provides traders with alternative insights into market dynamics. This dual perspective—blending mechanical objectivity with behavioral analysis—enhances the depth and flexibility of market evaluation. The following principles outline the theoretical foundation of the indicator and its unique contribution to structural price analysis: Time-Agnostic Design : The indicator avoids reliance on time-based factors like daily opens, session intervals, or specific events. Instead, it segments price action using bar indexes, ensuring that structural levels are identified independently of external time variables. While the x-axis of a chart inherently represents time, this indicator abstracts away its influence, allowing traders to focus purely on price movement without the bias of temporal context. Mechanical and Neutral Framework : Every calculation within the indicator is predetermined by a set of mechanical rules, ensuring no subjective input or interpretation affects the results. This objectivity guarantees that levels are derived solely from observed price behavior, providing a reliable framework that traders can trust to remain consistent across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions. Broken and Unbroken Levels : Broken levels represent zones where price has breached a structural boundary, while Unbroken levels highlight areas where price has consistently respected its range. This distinction provides a clear and systematic method for identifying key support and resistance levels, offering insights into where future price interactions are most likely to occur. Neutral Price Behavior : By dividing price action into equal segments, the indicator removes the influence of external factors like trader sentiment or psychological expectations. Each segment independently determines significant levels based purely on price action, enabling a structural view of the market that abstracts away behavioral or emotional biases. Complement to Psychological Tools : While the indicator itself avoids behavioral assumptions, its levels can align with psychological zones like round numbers, pivots, or Fibonacci levels. When these structural and psychological levels overlap, it reinforces the importance of key areas, while divergences offer opportunities to examine price behavior from a new perspective. Educational Value : The indicator encourages traders to explore the contrast between structural and psychological analysis. By introducing a framework that isolates price behavior from external influences, it challenges traditional methods of technical analysis, fostering deeper insights into market structure and behavior. 🔍 UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL LEVELS 🔍 The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers a straightforward yet powerful way to understand market structure by segmenting price action into mechanically defined ranges. This segmentation highlights two key elements: "Broken" levels, where price has breached structural boundaries, and "Unbroken" levels, which remain intact and respected by price action. Together, these components create a framework for identifying potential areas of support and resistance. Broken Levels : These are structural boundaries that price has surpassed, indicating areas where previous support or resistance failed. Broken levels often signal transitions in price behavior, such as shifts in momentum or the start of trending movements. They provide insight into zones where price has already tested and moved beyond. Unbroken Levels : These levels remain intact within a given price segment, marking areas where price has consistently respected boundaries. Unbroken levels are particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or zones of continued support or resistance. Their persistence across price action often makes them reliable indicators of market structure. The visual segmentation of price action into distinct ranges allows traders to observe how price transitions between structural zones. For example: - Clusters of Unbroken levels near the current price may suggest strong support or resistance, offering areas of interest for reversals or breakouts. - Gaps between Unbroken levels highlight areas of price inefficiency or low interaction, which may become significant if revisited. By focusing solely on structural price behavior, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator enables traders to analyze price independently of time or psychological factors. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding price dynamics objectively, whether used on its own or alongside other indicators. 🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️ The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers various customizable settings to help users tailor its visualization to their specific trading style and market conditions. These settings allow adjustments to sensitivity, level projection, and the source of price calculations (e.g., wicks or closing prices). Below, we outline each setting and its impact on the chart, along with examples to illustrate their functionality. Custom Settings Sensitivity : This setting adjusts the balance between detailed and broader structural levels by controlling the number of segments. Higher values result in more segments, revealing finer price levels, while lower values consolidate segments to highlight major price movements. Source : Allows the user to choose between 'Wick' or 'Close' for detecting levels. Selecting 'Wick' emphasizes the absolute highs and lows of price action, while 'Close' focuses on closing prices within each segment. Level Labels : Configures the visual representation of price levels, allowing users to toggle between price values, symbols (▲ ▼), or disabling labels altogether. This setting ensures clarity in how Broken and Unbroken levels are displayed on the chart. Unbroken Levels : - - - Users can customize the colors and label styles for Unbroken levels, which highlight areas where price has respected structural boundaries. Broken Levels : -|- Similar to Unbroken levels, users can specify the visual appearance of Broken levels, including color customization for Broken highs and lows. These settings help distinguish areas where price has breached a structural boundary. Projection Options : This setting allows users to control how broken and unbroken levels are visually extended on the chart. The Future option projects lines forward to the right of the current price, showing potential future relevance of levels. The All option extends lines both forward and backward, providing a comprehensive view of how levels align with historical and potential future price action. The None option disables projections, keeping the chart focused solely on current segment levels without any extensions. Segments : Includes options for customizing the segment visualization: - Live Segment : Toggles the display of a highlighted box representing the current developing segment, helping users focus on ongoing price action. - Boxes : Allows users to display filled boxes around each segment for additional visual emphasis. - Segment Colors : Users can define separate colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) segments, making it easier to interpret directional trends. - Boundaries : Enables or disables vertical lines to mark segment boundaries, providing a clearer view of structural divisions. Repaint : This setting allows users to enable or disable triangle labels within the live segment. When enabled, the triangles dynamically update to reflect real-time price behavior during the live bar but will repaint until the bar is fully confirmed. Disabling this option prevents the triangles from appearing during the live bar, reducing potential confusion as they may otherwise flash on and off during price updates. This setting ensures users can choose their preferred visualization while maintaining clarity in real-time analysis. Color Settings : Offers extensive customization for all visual elements, including Broken and Unbroken levels, segment boundaries, and live segments. These settings ensure the indicator can adapt to individual preferences for chart readability. 🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️ The following chart examples illustrate different configurations and features of the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. These examples highlight how the indicator’s settings influence the visualization of structural price behavior, helping traders understand its functionality in various scenarios. Broken and Unbroken Levels : Orange prices are Broken HIghs. Blue prices are Broken Lows. Green and Red are Unbroken. Boundaries : Enable Boundaries to visualize segments. High Sensitivity Setting : A high sensitivity setting produces fewer segments and levels, emphasizing broader price ranges and major structural zones. This configuration is better suited for higher timeframes or identifying overarching trends. Low Sensitivity Setting : A low sensitivity setting results in a greater number of segments and levels, offering a granular view of price structure. This configuration is ideal for analyzing detailed price movements on lower timeframes. Live Segment with Triangles Enabled : This example shows the live segment box with triangle labels enabled. These triangles update dynamically during the live bar but may repaint until the bar is confirmed, helping traders observe real-time price behavior. Broken and Unbroken Levels : This example highlights Broken levels (where price has breached structural boundaries and are drawn through subsequent price action) and Unbroken levels (where price has respected structural boundaries). These distinctions visually identify areas of potential support and resistance. Broken and Unbroken Levels with Projection: All : This example demonstrates the "Project All" feature, where broken and unbroken levels are extended both forward and backward on the chart. This visualization highlights historical and potential future support and resistance zones, helping traders better understand how price interacts with these structural levels over time. Segment Boxes with Boundaries : Filled boxes around individual segments visually distinguish each price interval, offering clarity in observing structural price transitions. 📊 SUMMARY 📊 The Non-Psychological Levels indicator provides a unique framework for analyzing structural price behavior through the identification of Broken and Unbroken levels. These levels act as a mechanical representation of support and resistance, independent of psychological biases or time-based factors. By focusing purely on price movement within defined segments, the indicator offers a neutral and consistent approach to understanding market dynamics. This method complements traditional tools by providing an unbiased perspective. When structural levels align with psychological zones—such as round numbers or session-based highs and lows—they reinforce the significance of these areas as key price zones. When they diverge, the indicator introduces an alternative view, prompting further exploration of price behavior. This dual perspective enhances the depth of analysis by combining the mechanical and behavioral aspects of price action. The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not designed to generate trading signals or predict future price movements but serves as a visual and educational tool. Its adaptability across all markets and timeframes allows traders to integrate it into their broader strategies. By highlighting structural price dynamics, the indicator offers a fresh perspective on market analysis while remaining compatible with other technical tools. ⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️ Asset Compatibility : The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. It can be applied to any chart or timeframe, making it a flexible tool for structural price analysis. Users should adjust the Sensitivity setting to ensure the segmentation aligns with the price behavior of the specific asset being analyzed. For instance, higher sensitivity values are more suitable for assets with large price ranges, while lower values work well for assets with tighter ranges. Visual Range Dependency : The indicator is optimized to perform calculations only within the visible range of the chart. This is a significant advantage, as it prevents unnecessary calculations and maintains efficient performance. However, because of this dependency, levels may appear to "recalculate" when the chart is zoomed in or out quickly or shifted abruptly. While this does not affect the integrity of the levels, it may cause a temporary lag as the indicator adjusts to the new visual range. Persistence of Levels Beyond Visibility : Even if levels are not visible on the chart due to zoom or scroll settings, they still exist in the background and are recalculated when revisited. This ensures that the structural price analysis remains consistent, regardless of the chart view. Box Limitations in Pine Script : The indicator is subject to Pine Script's inherent limitation of 500 boxes. This means that no more than 500 segments or level boxes can be drawn on the chart simultaneously. For most configurations, this limitation is mitigated by focusing on the visual range, but users employing very low sensitivity settings may exceed the limit. In such cases, only the most recent 500 boxes will be displayed, potentially omitting earlier segments. Lag with Low Sensitivity Settings : When sensitivity is set to a low value, the indicator creates many more segments, resulting in finer granularity and a higher number of boxes. While this provides detailed structural levels, it may increase the likelihood of exceeding Pine Script’s 500-box limit or cause a temporary lag when rendering a dense set of boxes over a wide visual range. Users should adjust sensitivity to balance detail with performance, especially on assets with high volatility or broad price ranges. Live Segment Caution : The live segment box updates in real time to reflect price movements as the segment is still developing. Since the segment high and segment low are not yet finalized, users should interpret this feature as a dynamic visualization of current price behavior rather than a definitive structural analysis. This ensures clarity during ongoing price action while maintaining the integrity of the indicator's framework. Cross-Market Versatility : The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanical design ensures that it functions identically across all markets and timeframes. However, users should consider the unique characteristics of different markets when interpreting the results, as certain assets (e.g., highly volatile cryptocurrencies) may require sensitivity adjustments for optimal segmentation. Visual Range Dependency: Levels recalculate efficiently within the chart's visible range but may lag temporarily when zooming or scrolling quickly. These considerations ensure that the Non-Psychological Levels indicator remains robust and versatile while highlighting some inherent limitations of Pine Script and real-time recalculations. Users can mitigate these constraints by carefully adjusting sensitivity and understanding how the visual range dependency affects performance. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is a visual analysis tool and is not designed as a predictive or trading signal indicator. Its primary purpose is to highlight structural price levels, providing an objective framework for understanding support and resistance within mechanically segmented price action. The indicator operates within the visible range of the chart to ensure efficiency and adaptiveness, but this recalculation should not be interpreted as a forecast of future price behavior. While the structural levels may align with significant price zones in hindsight, they are purely a reflection of observed price dynamics and should not be used as standalone trading signals. This indicator is intended as an educational and visual aid to complement other analysis methods. Users are encouraged to integrate it into a broader trading strategy and make adjustments to the settings based on their individual needs and market conditions. 🧠 BEYOND THE CODE 🧠 The Non-Psychological Levels indicator, like other xxattaxx indicators , is designed with education and community collaboration in mind. Its open-source nature encourages exploration, experimentation, and the development of new approaches to price analysis. By focusing on structural price behavior rather than psychological or time-based factors, this indicator introduces a fresh perspective for users to study. Beyond its visual utility, the indicator serves as an educational framework for understanding the concept of non-psychological analysis. It offers traders an opportunity to explore price dynamics in a purely mechanical way, challenging conventional methods and fostering deeper insights into structural behavior. This approach is especially valuable for those interested in exploring new concepts or seeking alternative perspectives on market analysis.

Opening Range Breakout trading involves substantial risk. The alert system and quality filters are designed to identify potential setups but do not guarantee profitability. Always conduct independent analysis, use proper risk management, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance does not indicate future results. Trading intraday breakouts requires experience and discipline. ─────────────────────────────────────── CREDITS & ATTRIBUTION ─────────────────────────────────────── ORIGINAL SOURCE: This indicator builds upon concepts from LuxAlgo's-ORB
