Quantura - Average Intraday Candle VolumeIntroduction
“Quantura – Average Intraday Candle Volume” is a quantitative visualization tool that calculates and displays the average traded volume for each intraday time position based on a user-defined historical lookback period. It allows traders to analyze recurring intraday volume patterns, identify high-activity sessions, and detect liquidity shifts throughout the trading day.
Originality & Value
This indicator goes beyond standard volume averages by normalizing and aligning volume data according to the time of day. Instead of simply smoothing recent bars, it builds an intraday volume profile based on historical daily averages, enabling users to understand when during the day volume typically peaks or drops.
Its originality and usefulness come from:
Converting standard volume data into time-aligned intraday averages.
Visualization of historical intraday liquidity behavior, not just total daily volume.
Dynamic scaling using normalization and transparency to emphasize active and quiet periods.
Optional day-separator lines for precise intraday structure recognition.
Gradient-based coloring for better visual interpretation of volume intensity.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator divides each day into discrete intraday time positions (based on chart timeframe).
For each position, it stores and updates historical volume values across the selected number of days.
It calculates an average volume per time position by aggregating all stored values and dividing them by the number of valid days.
The result is plotted as a continuous histogram showing typical intraday volume distribution.
The bar colors and transparency dynamically reflect the relative intensity of volume at each point in the day.
Parameters & Customization
Number of Days for Averaging: Defines how many past days are included in the volume average calculation (default: 365).
UTC Offset: Allows synchronization of intraday cycles with local or exchange time zones.
Base Color: Sets the main color for plotted volume columns.
Color Mode: Choose between “Gradient” (transparency dynamically adjusts by intensity) or “Normal” (fixed opacity).
Day Line: Toggles dashed vertical lines marking the start of each trading day.
Visualization & Display
Volume is plotted as a series of histogram bars, each representing the average volume for a specific intraday time position.
A gradient color mode enhances readability by fading lower-intensity areas and highlighting high-volume regions.
Optional day-separator lines visually segment historical sessions for easy reference.
Works seamlessly across all chart timeframes that divide the 24-hour day into regular bar intervals.
Use Cases
Identify when trading activity typically peaks (e.g., session opens, news windows, or overlapping markets).
Compare current intraday volume to historical averages for early anomaly detection.
Enhance algorithmic or discretionary strategies that depend on volume-timing alignment.
Combine with volatility or price structure indicators to confirm market activity zones.
Evaluate session consistency across different time zones using the UTC offset parameter.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator requires intraday data (below 1D resolution) to function properly.
Volume behavior may vary across brokers and assets; adjust averaging period accordingly.
Does not predict price movement — it provides volume-based context for analysis.
Works best when combined with structure or momentum-based indicators.
Markets & Timeframes
Compatible with all intraday markets — including crypto, Forex, equities, and futures — and all intraday timeframes (from 1 minute to 4 hours). It is particularly valuable for analyzing assets with continuous 24-hour trading activity.

VWAP Multi Sessions + EMA + TEMA + PivotThis indicator combines several technical tools in one, designed for both intraday and swing traders to provide a complete view of market dynamics.
- VWAP Multi Sessions: calculates and plots five independent VWAPs, each based on a specific time range. This allows you to better identify value zones and price evolution during different phases of the trading day.
- Moving Averages (EMA): three strategic EMAs (55, 144, and 233 periods) are included to track the broader trend and highlight potential crossovers.
- TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): two TEMAs (144 and 233 periods) offer a more responsive alternative to EMAs, reducing lag while filtering out some market noise.
- Daily Levels: the previous day’s open, close, high, and low are plotted as key support and resistance references.
- Pivot Point (P): also included is the classic daily pivot from the previous session, calculated as (High + Low + Close) / 3, which acts as a central level around which price often gravitates.
In summary, this indicator combines:
- intraday value references (session VWAPs),
- trend indicators (EMA and TEMA),
- and daily reference points (OHLC and Pivot).
It is particularly suited for intraday, scalping, and swing trading strategies, helping traders anticipate potential reaction zones in the market more effectively.
Erendev - Sessions for SweepsDescription:
This indicator is designed for intraday traders who focus on liquidity sweeps and session-based market structure.
It automatically draws session boxes for Asia, London, New York, and New York PM and highlights the highs and lows of each session. These levels act as important liquidity reference points.
How it works:
Session Boxes: Visualizes each trading session (Asia, London, New York, NY PM) with adjustable colors and transparency.
Highs/Lows: At the close of each session, the indicator projects horizontal rays of the high/low until touched by price or until the day ends.
Daily Separators: Optional background stripes or vertical lines mark new trading days, helping traders distinguish daily cycles.
Day-of-Week Markers: Marks weekdays at the bottom of the chart to help align intraday patterns.
Alerts: Alerts trigger when price interacts with session highs/lows, allowing traders to track liquidity sweeps in real time.
Unique Concept:
Unlike generic session indicators, this script integrates session-based liquidity sweeps directly into the workflow. It’s not only showing the sessions but also tracks untouched highs/lows as liquidity pools—a key ICT-inspired concept.
By combining session timing, liquidity sweeps, and visual clarity, the tool provides a structured intraday map for traders.
Usage:
Works best on intraday timeframes (1m–60m).
Above 2H, visuals are automatically disabled to keep charts clean.
Traders can hide/show sessions individually and customize line styles, widths, and colors.
Can be used across Forex, Futures, and Indices for scalping or day trading.

Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)
INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.

Day and Session Highlighter (UTC)Day and Session Highlighter (UTC Forced)", is designed to overlay your chart and display both session background colors and informative labels at the start of each trading session—all calculated in UTC. The script targets four distinct sessions: AU (Australia), Asia (Singapore/Hong Kong/JP), Europe, and New York. In addition to session highlighting, it displays labels that combine the UTC day-of‑week and the session’s starting time. All elements are configurable via on-screen toggles.
VWAP Balance Zones - SessionsVWAP Balance Zones Sessions Version is an alternate take on the Original VWAP Balance Zones indicator. The Sessions version allows users to select a specific session to view the VWAP Balance Zones at while still utilizing the full ETH Data.
The Session version provides a better focused display while still maintaining the core functions of the original script with mindful optimizations.
Author's Note: "VBZ Sessions was made with logistics in mind, for the users who only trade within certain times of the day. While it displays the same core concepts, it is not as "Raw" of a display as the Original. For this reason, some users may prefer the Original VWAP Balance Zones, which is why I have opted to release this alternate version instead of updating the original."
> What are VWAP Balance Zones?
"VWAP Balance Zones" is an original concept aimed at identifying the equilibrium area between market participants within the current trend by averaging the Daily Extremes and the Daily VWAP.
Refer to the illustration below for a better understanding of exactly how VWAP Balance Zones are formed:
These zones are displayed for the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, with the most interactive timeframe being the Daily.
> Features
1. The Session Version uses ETH data at all times, and does not solely rely on the chart's data to create the VWAPs or Zones.
This allows the user to focus on a specific trading session, while not losing out on the full VBZ Calculation, with the notable benefit of a cleaner display.
The Original VBZ starts drawing at the beginning of the chart's "Day", and would produce different results when using an RTH chart vs an ETH chart. Along with creating a bird's nest of unusable data at the beginning of the day.
2. Session Start and End lines are displayed for easier identification of the designated trading session.
3. The extreme "Close" Lines are no longer displayed to reduce noise and redundancy.
4. Additionally, the interior VWAP lines are no longer displayed. Ultimately, this was to reduce noise and focus the script on the 50% zones.
5. Weekly and Monthly Zones are now displayed due to the reduced noise!
6. As with the original, the weekly display will yield to the daily, and the monthly display will yield to the weekly.
In the screenshot below, you can observe this behavior.

Strangely some securities appear to erroneously start their session at 1200 hrs ie. My guess is that they are somehow tied to GMT+0 instead of New York time (GMT+5). See this for yourself by selecting EURUSD using the FXCM exchange (FX:EURUSD) and then EURUSD from the IDC exchange (FX_IDC:EURUSD). The FX-IDC session opening range starts 5 hours
before it actually should at 1700 hrs EDT/EST. To correct for this I have implemented an automatic fix (default) and a user selected "5 hour time shift adjust. ment needed on some securities".
There is also a 4 hour time shift button which might be necessary when New York reverts from Eastern Standard Time
to Eastern Daylight Time (1 hour difference) in March (and then back again in November). In the default auto adjust mode you will need to select the 1 hour time shift. That is if this glitch still exists at that time.
I have looked at other scripts, other than my own and where the script is available, that need to use information about the opening bar and all have the same time shift issue
What are the choices for Opening Range?
The dialogue box offers the standard TradingView options.
Also where you see Pick Opening Range 1 to 12 hours , SET TO 0 To USE LINE ABOVE TO DETERMINE OR LENGTH
As the note says a number other than 0 will override the standard options from the line above
The dialogue box below in offers choices by hours 1 to 12. A number greater than 12 will still only give
720 minutes (12 hours) for the length of Opening Range.
What sessions within the FOREX time-frame are available?
The default is 1700 hours to 1700 hours EST/EDT
Check any one (only one) of the time periods to change the opening range period to suit.
New York opens at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST (EDT)
Tokyo opens at 7:00 pm to 4:00 am EST (EDT)
Sydney opens at 5:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (EDT)
London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT)
There is a build your own session (click the button to select)
The two lines for inputting session times are almost identical except that the second line starts the be the same as each other.
The default for the build your own session is 2200 hours to 2200 hours. As of the time of publishing this plots EURUSD FX-IDC just right. The GMT+5 and GMT+4 do not apply to this selection.
See my comments above on this strange aberration.
The script originated from work done by Chris Moody. It has changed significantly but there are remnants of that script lurking within.
Script is free to all - that way you can see what is inside

SMC Pro: Real-Time Final**Description:**
This comprehensive SMC indicator is designed to automatically visualize major **Trading Sessions** and **Killzones**, alongside Fair Value Gaps (FVG). It helps traders identify high-probability setups by correlating time and price, specifically during key market hours (London, New York, Asia).
**Key Features:**
1. **Trading Sessions & Killzones:** The indicator clearly highlights the open and duration of major sessions (Asia, London, New York), allowing traders to spot volatility injections and "Judas Swings."
2. **Automated FVG Detection:** Scans price action to locate valid Fair Value Gaps and Imbalances within these sessions.
3. **Entry Logic:** Marks potential entry zones at the 50% retracement level of the identified FVG.
4. **Risk Management:** Projects a fixed Risk-to-Reward ratio (e.g., 1:3) with automatic Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
5. **Clean Visualization:** Color-coded boxes for sessions and gaps keep the chart organized.
**How to Use:**
* **Time Analysis:** Watch for price action as the London or NY session opens (highlighted by the indicator).
* **Signal:** Wait for an Imbalance/FVG to form during these high-volume times.
* **Entry:** Set a limit order at the 50% mark of the gap.
* **Exit:** Use the projected TP levels.
**Disclaimer:**

ASR / ADR by Vanya_zvwey
🇺🇦 Детальний Опис та Інструкція Користувача Індикатора ASR/ADR Grid
Цей індикатор є інструментом для візуалізації волатильності, який використовує історичні дані для прогнозування потенційних цінових рівнів розширення та корекції. Він будує сітки на основі середнього діапазону сесії (ASR) та середнього денного діапазону (ADR).
🔑 Ключові Концепції
ASR (Average Session Range): Середній діапазон High-Low, який зазвичай досягається протягом обраної торгової сесії (Азія, Лондон, Нью-Йорк) за останні N днів.
ADR (Average Daily Range): Середній діапазон High-Low, досягнутий протягом цілого 24-годинного торгового дня за останні N днів.
Синхронізація Часового Поясу: На відміну від багатьох індикаторів, цей індикатор залежить від введеного саме вами Session Timezone. Він гарантує, що ваші сесії та денні відкриття розраховуються правильно, незалежно від часового поясу вашого графіку.
⚙️ Посібник із Налаштування (Вхідні Параметри)
Налаштування згруповані для зручності:
1. General Settings (Загальні Налаштування)
Session Timezone: Виберіть часовий пояс, який використовуватиметься як єдиний орієнтир для всіх часів Start/End. Це може бути "UTC+2", "America/New_York" тощо.
Lookback Period (Days): Кількість днів, що використовується для обчислення середнього значення ASR та ADR.
Grid Direction:
"Up": Сітки будуються від поточного Low сесії/дня і розширюються вгору.
"Down": Сітки будуються від поточного High сесії/дня і розширюються вниз.
Grid Step %: Крок для внутрішніх ліній сітки (наприклад, 25% дасть лінії 25%, 50%, 75%).
2. Session Settings (Asia, London, New York)
Show : Увімкнення/вимкнення відображення сітки для конкретної сесії.
Start Time (HH:MM) / End Time (HH:MM): Час початку та кінця сесії, який відповідає вибраному вами Session Timezone.
3. ADR (Daily) Grid (Сітка Денного Діапазону)
Show ADR Grid: Увімкнення/вимкнення сітки, що охоплює весь день.
ADR Anchor: Визначає, від якої ціни починається відлік ADR (0%):
"Day Open": Як якір використовується ціна відкриття дня (00:00 у вашому часовому поясі).
"Day Low/High": Як якір використовується поточний денний екстремум (Low, якщо напрямок "Up", або High, якщо напрямок "Down").
📈 Використання та Інтерпретація
Сітка складається з рівнів від 0% до 100%, які візуалізують, наскільки далеко ціна просунулася щодо середнього історичного діапазону.
Структура Сітки
0% Рівень (Границя): Це якірна точка (High або Low) поточної сесії/дня, з якої починається розрахунок. Лінія суцільна.
100% Рівень (Границя): Це ціновий рівень, що дорівнює 0% Якір + ASR/ADR. Це статистично очікуваний максимальний рух. Лінія суцільна.
Внутрішні Рівні (Grid Step): Пунктирні лінії (25%, 50%, 75% тощо), які показують проміжні цілі або зони корекції.
Торгова Інтерпретація
Рух до 50%: Ціна досягла половини середнього діапазону.
Досягнення 100%: Ціна досягла "середнього" діапазону волатильності. Це часто служить хорошою ціллю для фіксації прибутку або точкою, де можна очікувати корекції/розвороту, оскільки рух вже відповідає історичним нормам.
Рух за межі 100% (Екстремум): Рух, що перевищує 100% ASR/ADR, вважається нетипово сильним або екстремальним.
🇬🇧 Detailed Description and User Guide for the ASR/ADR Grid Indicator
This indicator is a robust volatility visualization tool designed to project potential price extension and retracement levels based on historical data. It constructs price grids using the Average Session Range (ASR) and the Average Daily Range (ADR).
🔑 Key Concepts
ASR (Average Session Range): The average High-to-Low range typically achieved during a selected trading session (Asia, London, New York) over the last N days
ADR (Average Daily Range): The average High-to-Low range achieved during the entire 24-hour trading day over the last N days.
Timezone Synchronization: This is critical. The indicator relies on a single Session Timezone input to correctly calculate all session start/end times and daily opens, ensuring accuracy regardless of your charting platform's native exchange time.
⚙️ Setup Guide (Input Parameters)
The settings are organized into logical groups:
1. General Settings
Session Timezone: Select the timezone that will serve as the single reference point for all Start/End times below (e.g., "UTC+2", "America/New_York").
Lookback Period (Days): The number of preceding days used to compute the average ASR and ADR values.
Grid Direction:
"Up": The grids are anchored at the current session/day's Low and extend upwards.
"Down": The grids are anchored at the current session/day's High and extend downwards.
Grid Step %: The percentage increment for the inner grid lines (e.g., 25% will plot lines at 25%, 50%, 75%).
2. Session Settings (Asia, London, New York)
Show : Toggles the visibility of the grid for that specific session.
Start Time (HH:MM) / End Time (HH:MM): The start and end times for the session, which must correspond to your chosen Session Timezone. The script supports overnight sessions (e.g., starting at 22:00 and ending at 02:00 the next day).
3. ADR (Daily) Grid
Show ADR Grid: Toggles the visibility of the grid covering the entire trading day.
ADR Anchor: Determines the price point from which the ADR (0%) is measured:
"Day Open": The anchor is the day's opening price (at 00:00 in your chosen timezone).
"Day Low/High": The anchor is the current day's extreme (Low if Direction is "Up", or High if Direction is "Down").
📈 Usage and Interpretation
The grid levels, ranging from 0% to 100%, visualize how far the price has traveled relative to the average historical volatility for that specific period.
Grid Structure
0% Level (Border): This is the anchor point (High or Low) of the current session/day, serving as the starting reference for the calculation. This line is solid.
100% Level (Border): This is the price level equal to the 0% Anchor + ASR/ADR. It represents the statistically expected average maximum move. This line is also solid.
Inner Levels (Grid Step): These dotted lines (25%, 50%, 75%, etc.) serve as intermediate targets or potential zones for pullback.
Trading Interpretation
Reaching 50%: The price has achieved half of the average range.
Reaching 100%: The price has fulfilled the "average" volatility range. This level often acts as an excellent profit target or a point where you might expect correction or reversal, as the move has met historical norms.
Moving Beyond 100% (Extreme): A price move that exceeds 100% ASR/ADR is considered unusually strong or extreme volatility.
USD Session 8FX - LDN & NY (TF-invariant, Live + Table)What it is
A USD strength/weakness meter for the London (08:00–08:45) or New York (15:30–16:00/16:15) session. It blends the movement of 8 markets—EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, USDJPY, XAUUSD—into one Score that is timeframe-invariant (it uses a 1-minute “boundary TF” under the hood so changing chart TF doesn’t change the math).
Core logic (simple)
During the chosen session window, it records each symbol’s start and live end prices, computes returns, optionally normalizes by ATR (volatility), applies your weights, and averages anti-USD (EUR/GBP/AUD/NZD/XAU) vs USD-base (CHF/CAD/JPY) groups.
The final Score is the normalized sum of weighted contributions:
Score > 0 → “USD Strong”
Score < 0 → “USD Weak”
At the session close it freezes (“Locked”) the results so you can review them later.
What you see
Main plot: the USD Score line (with a 0 baseline).
Optional lines: Anti-USD average vs USD-base average (post-normalization, pre-weights).
Session background shading (London silver, New York aqua).
Live table with:
Each symbol’s % change, its weight, and its contribution to the Score.
TOP badges for the two biggest drivers (by absolute contribution).
A Side column (only for the two TOPs) showing BUY/SELL aligned with the USD verdict (e.g., if USD Strong → SELL anti-USD pairs like EURUSD, BUY USD-base like USDCHF).
Verdict row with USD Strong/Weak, the Score value, the window text, and whether you’re LIVE / CLOSED / FROZEN.
Trade Gate panel:
Shows Verdict (USD Strong/Weak), Bias OK/weak (|Score| vs your threshold), Top-1/Top-2 VWAP checks, an overall GATE: OK/NO, and an Entry hint string (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) when conditions align.
VWAP “Trade Gate”
It confirms alignment between the USD bias and price vs VWAP for the top movers:
If USD Strong: anti-USD symbols should be below VWAP (short bias), USD-base symbols above VWAP (long bias).
If USD Weak: the opposite.
Gate = OK only if |Score| ≥ minAbsScore and at least one of the two TOP symbols is on the correct side of VWAP.
Tip: set vwapTF to an intraday value (“1”, “5”, “15”) for reliable VWAP on higher-TF charts.
Alerts
At session close: “USD Strong/Weak – session close”.
Live threshold: alerts when |Score| crosses your intraday threshold up/down.
Entry hint (Gate OK): triggers when the Gate flips from NO → OK inside the window.
If you create an alert of type “Any alert() function call”, you also get a dynamic message like:
ENTRY HINT • Hint: SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF
Key inputs you can tweak
Session: London vs New York; NY end time 16:00 or 16:15.
Timezone: default Europe/Tirane.
Boundary TF: default “1” (keeps the indicator TF-invariant).
minAbsScore: sensitivity threshold for “Bias OK”.
ATR normalization (len): stabilizes comparisons across different volatility regimes.
VWAP settings: toggle panel and set vwapTF.
How to use (playbook)
Choose the session (e.g., New York 15:30–16:15), keep Boundary TF = 1.
If you’re on a higher-TF chart, set vwapTF = "1" or "5".
Watch Score and Verdict; when |Score| ≥ minAbsScore, bias is meaningful.
Check Top-1/Top-2 and the Trade Gate:
If Gate = OK, use the Entry hint (e.g., “SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) as the aligned idea.
Use your own execution rules (e.g., structure, risk, stops) on the suggested symbols.
After close, review the Frozen table to validate behavior and refine thresholds/weights.
Notes & edge cases
If some markets are illiquid/holiday, a few returns may be na; the script handles that gracefully.
If ta.vwap is na on high TFs, the Gate will simply not confirm—set vwapTF intraday.
You can customize weights (e.g., reduce XAUUSD to -0.3 or similar) to suit your basket philosophy.
If you want, I can add toggles to show Side for all 8 symbols, or print a one-line summary (e.g., “USD Strong • Score 0.23 • Gate OK • SELL EURUSD, BUY USDCHF”) in the top-left of the pane.
Rapid ORB Pro – Breakout & Fakeout Detector (Multi Sessions)"Multi-session ORB tool with breakout confirmation, fakeout detection, and volume filter for true momentum trades. DLS confusion proof"
Description
The Rapid ORB Pro indicator is designed to identify opening range breakouts (ORB) across multiple sessions and confirm whether the move is valid or a likely fakeout. This tool works on any asset and timeframe where range trading is relevant. Also coded in a way to tackle daylight saving issue around the world.
Core Concepts
1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
The indicator marks the defined opening range for each session and tracks when price breaks above or below this range.
2. Confirmation Rules:
A breakout is only confirmed when:
The breakout candle shows a strong body (momentum candle), not just a wick.
The candle closes beyond the prior candle’s high or low, ensuring follow-through.
The structure aligns with market flow (Higher High / Higher Low in bullish context, Lower High / Lower Low in bearish context).
These conditions help filter weak breakouts and highlight true momentum moves.
3. Fakeout Detection (FO):
If price breaks out but the very next candle closes back inside the opening range, an FO marker is plotted. This helps traders exit limit orders quickly and avoid false signals.
4. 7-Bar Check:
If no valid breakout occurs within 7 candles after the range, the indicator prints a “7” on the chart. This signals a likely choppy session where breakout trades have lower probability.
5. Volume State Table:
A table on the chart compares the breaker candle’s volume with the highest volume candle inside the opening range. This provides a quick assessment of whether the breakout was backed by strong participation (High Volume) or weaker flow (Low Volume).
Use Cases
Works on forex, indices, commodities, and crypto.
Useful for scalpers looking to catch the first breakout of the day.
Helps swing traders filter false moves in volatile sessions.
Can be applied to any range trading strategy, not limited to session opens
.
Trading Tip
Trend is your friend, with trend behind the signal probability goes high.
Check the previous session or prior day stab (PD stab).
Watch for SMT divergence forming across correlated pairs.
If SMT lines up with a signal, the breaker confirmation is stronger.
Both SMT alignment and trend behind valid breakout candle increase the probability of a sustained move.
Always start with lower time frame and go up the time frame ladder. Depending on the market you can catch move earlier within lower time frame.
Note: Each input option in this indicator includes a tooltip with detailed explanations. We recommend experimenting with the settings and backtesting to discover what aligns best with your trading style and comfort zone. By default, the confirmation filters are set to what we have found to be the most effective combinations.

Price Range Retrace statisticks [HERMAN]📈 Price Range Retrace Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders quantify how often price retraces to a selected equilibrium level (e.g., 50%) after sweeping the high/low of a defined time-based range.
It is especially useful for modeling sessions such as the London Opening Range (e.g., 02:00–03:00 NY time), checking if price sweeps that range in a subsequent window (e.g., 03:00–04:00), and returns to its 50% level.
✅ What does it do?
Lets you define multiple time ranges (e.g. London, NY Open, custom ranges).
Draws the range box for the selected session time.
Calculates and plots the retracement level (default 50%).
Checks if price sweeps the high/low of the range before retracing.
Tracks success rate, average distance, sample size and displays these stats in a table.
⚙️ Key Features:
Fully customizable time windows (range box time and retracement check time).
-Configurable retracement % (default 50% equilibrium).
-Optional sweep condition (only count retracements if price sweeps the high/low first).
-Clean, theme-adaptive stats table with success rates and averages.
-Supports two independent levels (e.g. London and NY sessions).
📊 Why use it?
This tool turns session-based setups into statistical models:
Backtest session strategies over many days.
Quantify edge with % success over time.
Validate trading ideas with data.
Use probabilities instead of gut feeling.
Example insight you can track:
“Between 3–4 AM NY time, price swept the high/low of the 2–3 AM London Opening Range and returned to its 50% equilibrium level in 64% of 234 sessions.”
📌 Ideal for:
ICT concepts (Opening Range, Sweep, Equilibrium Return).
Algo developers wanting probabilities.
Anyone who wants data-driven confirmation for session range mean-reversion.
Instructions:
1️⃣ Enable the desired Price Range (1 or 2).
2️⃣ Set your Range Time (e.g. 02:00–03:00).
3️⃣ Set your Retracement Check Time (e.g. 03:00–04:00).
4️⃣ Choose retracement % (e.g. 50%).
5️⃣ Watch the box and retrace line plot on chart.
6️⃣ Review the success statistics in the table.
80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)I created this script to show the 80% opportunity on chart if setting lines up.
"80% rule: Open outside the vah or Val. Spend 30 mins outside there then break back inside spend 15 mins below or above depending which way u broke. Then come back and retest the vah/val and take it to the poc as a first target with the final target being the other Val/vah "
📌 Script Summary
The "80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)" overlays your chart with prior session value area levels (VAH, VAL, and POC) calculated from extended-hours 30-minute data. It tracks when the price reenters the value area and confirms 80% Rule setups during your chosen trading session. You can optionally trigger alerts, show/hide market sessions, and fine-tune line appearance for a clean, modular workflow.
⚙️ Options & Settings Breakdown
- Use 24-Hour Session (All Markets)
When checked, the indicator ignores time zones and tracks signals during a full 24-hour period (0000-0000), helpful if you're outside U.S. trading hours or want consistent behavior globally.
- Market Session
Dropdown to select one of three key market zones:
- New York (09:30–16:00 ET)
- London (08:00–16:30 local)
- Tokyo (09:00–15:00 local)
Used to gate entry signals during relevant hours unless you choose the 24-hour option.
- Show PD VAH/VAL/POC Lines
Toggle to show or hide prior day’s levels (based on the 30-min extended session). Turning this off removes both the lines and their white text labels.
- Extend Lines Right
When enabled, the VAH/VAL/POC lines extend into the current day’s session. If disabled, they appear only at their anchor point.
- Highlight Selected Session
Adds a soft blue background to help visualize the active session you selected.
- Enable Alert Conditions
Allows TradingView alerts to be created for long/short 80% Rule entries.
- Enable Audible Alerts
Plays an in-chart sound with a popup message (“80% Rule LONG” or “SHORT”) when signals trigger. Requires the chart to be active and sounds enabled in TradingView.
Prior sessions High/Low/MidThis indicator highlights the High, Low, and Midpoint of the most recently completed trading sessions. It helps traders visualize key price levels from the previous session that often act as support, resistance, or reaction zones.
It draws horizontal lines for the high and low of the last completed session, as well as the midpoint, which is calculated as the average of the high and low. These lines extend to the right side of the chart, remaining visible as reference levels throughout the day.
You can independently enable or disable the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions depending on your preferences. Each session has adjustable start and end times, as well as time zone settings, so you can align them accurately with your trading strategy.
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday and swing traders who use session-based levels to define market structure, bias, or areas of interest. Session highs and lows often align with institutional activity and can be key turning points in price action.
Please note that this script is designed to be used only on intraday timeframes such as 1-minute to 4-hour charts. It will not function on daily or higher timeframes.
