Trendlines & SR ZonesIt's a comprehensive indicator (Pine Script v6) that represents two powerful technical analysis tools: automatic trendline detection based on pivot points and volume delta analysis with support/resistance zone identification. This overlay indicator helps traders identify potential trend directions and key price levels where significant buying or selling pressure has occurred.
Features: =
1. Price Trendlines
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trendlines based on pivot points, creating dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Components:
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable left and right bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows
Trendline Filtering: Only draws downward-sloping resistance trendlines and upward-sloping support trendlines
Zone Creation: Creates filled zones around trendlines based on average price volatility
Automatic Management: Maintains only the 3 most recent significant trendlines to avoid chart clutter
Customization Options:
Left/Right Bars for Pivot: Adjust sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 10 bars each side)
Extension Length: Control how far trendlines extend past the second pivot (default: 50 bars)
Average Body Periods: Set the lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 100)
Tolerance Multiplier: Adjust the width of the trendline zones (default: 1.0)
Color Customization: Separate colors for high (resistance) and low (support) trendlines and their fills
2. Volume Delta % Bars
The indicator analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify significant supply and demand zones.
Key Components:
Volume Profile Analysis: Divides the price range into rows and calculates volume delta at each level
Delta Visualization: Displays horizontal bars showing the percentage difference between buying and selling volume
Zone Identification: Automatically identifies the most significant supply and demand zones
Visual Integration: Connects volume delta bars with corresponding support/resistance zones on the price chart
Customization Options:
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars to analyze for volume (default: 200)
Price Rows: Control the granularity of the volume analysis (default: 50 rows)
Delta Sections: Adjust the number of horizontal delta bars displayed (default: 20)
Panel Appearance: Customize width, position, and direction of the delta panel
Zone Settings: Control the number of supply/demand zones and their extension (default: 3 zones)
How It Works-
Trendline Logic:
The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows based on the specified left and right bars
When a pivot is detected, it creates a horizontal line at that price level
The script then looks for the previous pivot of the same type (high or low)
It connects these pivots with a trendline, extending it based on the user-specified setting
A parallel line is created to form a zone, with the distance based on average price volatility
The script filters out invalid trendlines (upward-sloping resistance and downward-sloping support). Only the 3 most recent trendlines are maintained to prevent chart clutter
Volume Delta Logic:
The script divides the price range over the lookback period into the specified number of rows
For each bar in the lookback period, it categorizes volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This volume is assigned to the appropriate price level based on the HLC3 price.
The price levels are grouped into sections, and the net delta (bullish - bearish volume) is calculated for each Horizontal bars are drawn to represent these delta percentages.
The most significant positive and negative deltas are identified and displayed as support and resistance zones. These zones are extended to the left on the price chart and connected to the delta panel with dotted lines.
Ideal Timeframes:
The indicator is versatile and can be used across multiple timeframes, but it performs optimally on specific timeframes depending on your trading style:
For Day Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts
Why: These timeframes provide a good balance between noise reduction and sufficient volume data. The volume delta analysis is particularly effective on these timeframes as it captures intraday accumulation/distribution patterns while the trendlines remain reliable enough for intraday trading decisions.
For Swing Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Why: These timeframes offer the best combination of reliable trendline formation and meaningful volume analysis. The trendlines on these timeframes are less prone to whipsaws, while the volume delta analysis captures multi-day trading sessions and institutional activity.
For Position Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: Daily and weekly charts
Why: On these higher timeframes, trendlines become extremely reliable as they represent significant market structure points. The volume delta analysis reveals longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns that can define major support and resistance zones for weeks or months.
Timeframe-Specific Adjustments:
Lower Timeframes (1-15 minutes):
Reduce left/right bars for pivots (5-8 bars)
Decrease lookback period for volume delta (50-100 bars)
Increase tolerance multiplier (1.2-1.5) to account for higher volatility
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Increase left/right bars for pivots (15-20 bars)
Extend lookback period for volume delta (300-500 bars)
Consider increasing the number of price rows (70-100) for more detailed volume analysis
Usage Guidelines-
For Trendline Analysis:
Use the trendlines as dynamic support and resistance levels
Price reactions at these levels can indicate potential trend continuation or reversal points
The filled zones around trendlines represent areas of price volatility or uncertainty
Consider the slope of the trendline as an indication of trend strength
For Volume Delta Analysis:
The horizontal delta bars show where buying or selling pressure has been concentrated
Green bars indicate areas where buying volume exceeded selling volume (demand)
Red bars indicate areas where selling volume exceeded buying volume (supply)
The highlighted supply and demand zones on the price chart represent significant price levels
These zones can act as future support or resistance areas as price revisits them
Customization Tips:
Trendline Sensitivity: Decrease left/right bars values to detect more pivots (more sensitive) or increase them for fewer, more significant pivots
Zone Width: Adjust the tolerance multiplier to make trendline zones wider or narrower based on your trading style
Volume Analysis: Increase the lookback period for a longer-term volume profile or decrease it for more recent activity
Visual Clarity: Adjust colors and transparency settings to match your chart theme and preferences
Conclusion:
This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of both trend dynamics and volume-based support/resistance levels. With these two analytical approaches, the indicator offers valuable insights for identifying potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and key price levels where significant market activity has occurred. The extensive customization options allow traders to adapt the indicator to various trading styles and timeframes, with optimal performance on 15-minute to daily charts depending on their trading horizon.

Double&Triple Pattern[TS_Indie]📌 Description – Double & Triple Pattern Indicator
The Double & Triple Pattern Indicator is developed to help traders systematically and clearly identify Double Top, Double Bottom, Triple Top, and Triple Bottom chart patterns.
⚙️ Core Logic & Working Mechanism
The Double & Triple Pattern Indicator is built on the concept of price swing formation, based on the logic of Trend Entry_0 , which focuses on structured market analysis and price action behavior.
The indicator detects three main swing points (Swing 1, Swing 2, and Swing 3). A Fibonacci Box is then created using Swing A and Swing B as reference points to define the swing detection zone.
When all three swings remain inside the defined Fibonacci Box, the structure is considered a valid Price Action setup.
The indicator then plots key lines on the chart:
➩ Break Line – used to confirm the signal (confirmation)
➩ Cancel Line – used to invalidate the price action if price moves against the conditions
➛ When price breaks the Break Line , the structure is confirmed and a Pending Order is placed at Swing B , with the Stop Loss set at Swing 1.
➛ If price breaks the Cancel Line first, the price action structure is immediately invalidated.
⚙️ Fibonacci Entry Zone & Change SL Settings
➩ When Fibo Entry Zone is set to 0, the Pending Order is placed directly at Swing B.
➩ When the value is greater than 0, the Pending Order is calculated using Fibonacci levels drawn from Swing B to the Stop Loss level.
➩ Change SL allows switching the Stop Loss reference between Swing 1 and Swing A.
⚙️ Min & Max Control for Swing Size : xATR
When enabling Control Size Swing : xATR , the indicator filters Swing B based on the defined Min and Max range.
This allows traders to selectively test larger or smaller swing-based price actions , depending on their trading strategy.
⭐ Pending Order Cancellation Conditions
A Pending Order will be canceled under the following conditions:
1.A new Price Action signal appears on either the Buy or Sell side.
2.When Time Session is enabled, the Pending Order is canceled once price exits the selected session.
🕹 Order Management Rule
When there is an active open position, the indicator restricts the creation of new Pending Orders to prevent overlapping positions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
★指标描述：真假突破辨别。
★绿色箭头 "真突破 (强K线)"：
这是你要的完美信号。
它意味着：价格破位 + 成交量放大 + K线收盘坚决（几乎没有上影线）。
对应刚才的行情： 刚才那根1H大阳线应该会触发这个信号。
灰色圆点 "弱势突破" (新增)：
如果价格突破了阻力，但是没量，或者留了长上影线（像你之前描述的那几根15分钟线），指标会标记灰色圆点。
含义： “虽然价格破了新高，但我不信任它”。这时候千万不要追多，反而要准备做空。
红色标签 "假突破 (反转)"：
当灰色圆点（弱势突破）出现后，紧接着出现红色标签，就是绝佳的做空点。
ICT Premium/Discount Zones [Exponential-X]Premium/Discount Zones - Visual Market Structure Tool
Overview
This indicator helps traders visualize premium and discount price zones based on recent market structure. It automatically identifies swing highs and lows within a specified lookback period and divides the price range into three key areas: Premium Zone, Equilibrium, and Discount Zone.
What This Indicator Does
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates:
Highest High and Lowest Low within the lookback period
Equilibrium Level - the midpoint between the swing high and low
Premium Zone - the area from equilibrium to the swing high (typically viewed as relatively expensive price levels)
Discount Zone - the area from the swing low to equilibrium (typically viewed as relatively cheap price levels)
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses pivot point logic to identify significant swing highs and lows based on the pivot strength parameter. It then calculates the highest high and lowest low over the specified lookback period. The equilibrium is computed as the arithmetic mean of these two extremes, creating a fair value reference point.
The zones are dynamically updated as new price data becomes available, ensuring the visualization remains relevant to current market conditions.
Key Features
Dynamic Zone Detection
Automatically adjusts zones based on recent price action
Uses customizable lookback period for flexibility across different timeframes
Employs pivot strength parameter to filter out minor price fluctuations
Visual Clarity
Color-coded zones for easy identification (red for premium, green for discount)
Optional equilibrium line display
Adjustable zone label placement
Customizable color schemes to match your charting preferences
Alert Capabilities
Alerts when price enters the premium zone
Alerts when price enters the discount zone
Alerts when price returns to equilibrium
Helps traders monitor key zone interactions without constant chart watching
Customization Options
Adjustable lookback period (5-500 bars)
Configurable pivot strength for swing detection (1-20 bars)
Control over box extension into the future
Toggle labels and equilibrium line on/off
Full color customization for all visual elements
How to Use This Indicator
Setup
Add the indicator to your chart
Adjust the lookback period to match your trading timeframe (shorter for intraday, longer for swing trading)
Set pivot strength to filter out noise (higher values for major swings, lower for more frequent updates)
Customize colors and labels to your preference
Interpretation
Premium Zone: Price trading here may indicate potential resistance or selling opportunities when aligned with other technical factors
Discount Zone: Price trading here may indicate potential support or buying opportunities when aligned with other technical factors
Equilibrium: Acts as a fair value reference point where price often consolidates or reacts
Trading Applications
This tool works well when combined with other forms of analysis such as:
Trend identification indicators
Volume analysis
Support and resistance levels
Price action patterns
Market structure analysis
Important Considerations
This indicator identifies zones based purely on historical price data
Premium and discount zones are relative to the recent lookback period
The effectiveness varies across different market conditions and timeframes
Should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not in isolation
Past price structure does not guarantee future price behavior
Technical Details
Calculation Method
Uses Pine Script's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions for swing detection
Employs ta.highest() and ta.lowest() for range calculation
Updates dynamically with each new bar
Draws zones using box objects for clear visual representation
Performance Optimization
Efficiently manages box and line objects to minimize resource usage
Uses conditional plotting to reduce unnecessary calculations
Limited to essential visual elements for chart clarity
Timeframe Compatibility
This indicator works on all timeframes but the recommended settings vary:
1-5 minute charts: Lookback period 10-20, Pivot strength 3-5
15-60 minute charts: Lookback period 20-50, Pivot strength 5-10
Daily charts: Lookback period 50-100, Pivot strength 10-15
Weekly charts: Lookback period 20-50, Pivot strength 5-10
Adjust these values based on the volatility of your specific instrument.
Limitations and Considerations
What This Indicator Does NOT Do
Does not provide buy or sell signals on its own
Does not predict future price movements
Does not account for fundamental factors or market events
Does not guarantee profitability or accuracy
Market Condition Awareness
In strong trending markets, price may remain in premium or discount zones for extended periods
During ranging conditions, price typically oscillates between zones more predictably
High volatility can cause frequent zone recalculations
Low volatility may result in narrow zones with limited practical use
Risk Considerations
Premium and discount are relative concepts, not absolute values
What appears as a discount zone may continue lower in a downtrend
What appears as a premium zone may continue higher in an uptrend
Always use proper risk management and position sizing
Consider multiple timeframe analysis for context
Version Information
This indicator is written in Pine Script v6, ensuring compatibility with the latest TradingView features and optimal performance.
Final Notes
This tool is designed to enhance your market analysis by providing a clear visual representation of premium and discount price zones. It should be used as one component of a well-rounded trading approach that includes proper risk management, multiple forms of analysis, and realistic expectations about market behavior.
The concept of premium and discount zones is rooted in auction market theory and the idea that price oscillates around fair value. However, traders should understand that these zones are interpretive tools based on historical data and do not constitute trading advice or predictions about future price action.
Remember to backtest any strategy using this indicator on historical data before applying it to live trading, and always trade responsibly within your risk tolerance.

Rectangle Breakout Patterns📊 Rectangle Breakout Pattern Detector (Support & Resistance)
This indicator is a dynamic tool designed to automatically identify and visualize Rectangle Continuation Patterns and Trading Ranges based on pure price action. It focuses on finding horizontal areas of long-term support and resistance where price is consolidating before an eventual breakout.
💡 What It Does
The core function of this indicator is to detect and plot the boundaries of significant consolidation areas on your chart. It follows a multi-step confirmation process:
Level Detection: It automatically identifies significant Pivot Highs and Lows.
Pattern Confirmation: It confirms Support and Resistance by counting the number of times price 'touches' a level (controlled by the Min Pivot Touches setting).
Visualization: Once confirmed, it draws a Box around the consolidation area. This box automatically extends to the right as long as the price remains contained, showing the active trading range.
This provides an objective, code-driven approach to a classic chart pattern often relied upon by technical analysts.
Abyss Protocol OneAbyss Protocol One — Momentum Exhaustion Trading System
Overview
Abyss Protocol One is a momentum exhaustion indicator designed to identify high-probability reversal points by detecting when price momentum has reached extreme levels. It combines Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) threshold signals with dynamic volatility-adjusted bands and multiple protective filters to generate buy and sell signals.
Core Concept
The indicator operates on the principle that extreme momentum readings (CMO reaching ±80) often precede mean reversion. Rather than chasing trends, Abyss Protocol waits for momentum exhaustion before signaling entries and exits.
Key Components
1. Dynamic Bands (Money Line ± ATR)
Center line uses linear regression (Money Line) for smooth trend representation
Bands expand and contract based on Bollinger Band Width Percentile (BBWP)
Low volatility (BBWP < 30): Tighter bands using lower multiplier
High volatility (BBWP > 70): Wider bands using higher multiplier
Bands visually adapt to current market conditions
2. CMO Exhaustion Signals
BUY Signal: CMO drops below -80 (oversold/momentum exhaustion to downside)
SELL Signal: CMO rises above +80 (overbought/momentum exhaustion to upside)
Thresholds are configurable for different assets and timeframes
3. ADX Filter
Signals only fire when ADX exceeds minimum threshold (default: 22)
Ensures there's enough directional movement to trade
Prevents signals during choppy, directionless markets
4. Band Contraction Filter
Calculates band width percentile rank over configurable lookback
When bands are contracted (below 18th percentile), ALL signals are blocked
Prevents trading during low-volatility squeeze periods where breakout direction is uncertain
5. Consecutive Buy Limit
Maximum of 3 consecutive buys allowed before a sell is required
Prevents overexposure during extended downtrends
Counter resets when a sell signal fires
6. Underwater Protection
Tracks rolling average of recent entry prices (last 10 entries within 7 days)
Blocks sell signals if current price is below average entry price
Prevents locking in losses during drawdowns
7. Signal Cooldown
Minimum 5-bar cooldown between signals
Prevents rapid-fire signals during volatile swings
8. Extreme Move Detection
Detects when price penetrates beyond bands by more than 0.6 × ATR
Extreme signals can bypass normal cooldown period
Fire intra-bar for faster response to capitulation/blow-off moves
Still respects max consecutive buys and underwater protection
Visual Features
Trend State Detection
The indicator classifies market conditions into six states based on EMA stack, price position, and directional indicators:
STRONG UP: Full bullish alignment (EMA stack + price above trend + bullish DI + ADX > threshold)
UP: Moderate bullish conditions
NEUTRAL: No clear directional bias
DOWN: Moderate bearish conditions
STRONG DOWN: Full bearish alignment
CONTRACTED: Bands squeezed, volatility low
ADX Trend Bar
Colored dots at chart bottom provide instant trend state visibility:
Lime = Strong Uptrend
Blue = Uptrend
Orange = Neutral
Red = Downtrend
Maroon = Strong Downtrend
White = Contracted
Volume Spike Highlighting
Purple background highlights candles where volume exceeds 2x the 20-bar average, helping identify institutional activity or significant market events.
Signal Labels
Buy labels show consecutive buy count (e.g., "BUY 2/3"), price, and CMO value
Sell labels show consecutive sell count, price, and CMO value
Extreme signals display in distinct colors (cyan for buys, fuchsia for sells)
Signal candles turn bright blue for easy identification
Info Panel
Real-time dashboard displaying:
Current trend state
CMO value with threshold status
CMO thresholds (buy/sell levels)
ADX with directional indicator (▲/▼) and signal eligibility
BBWP percentage
Buy/Sell counters
Average entry price (with underwater shield indicator 🛡 when protected)

☑ Show 5min ORB → Toggle blue lines ON/OFF
☑ Show 15min ORB → Toggle cyan lines ON/OFF
☑ Show 30min ORB → Toggle purple lines ON/OFF
USE CASES:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. FOCUS MODE (30min only)
☐ 5min ☐ 15min ☑ 30min
→ Clean chart, just your primary trading range
→ Best for beginners or minimalist traders
2. EARLY WARNING MODE (5min + 30min)
☑ 5min ☐ 15min ☑ 30min
→ See early breaks with 5min, trade 30min confirmation
→ Reduces visual noise from 15min
3. CONFLUENCE MODE (all 3 ORBs)
☑ 5min ☑ 15min ☑ 30min
→ Maximum information, all alignment signals
→ For advanced traders seeking highest probability
4. INTRADAY SCALP MODE (5min only)
☑ 5min ☐ 15min ☐ 30min
→ Ultra-fast entries on 5min breaks
→ High-risk, high-frequency approach
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 PRO TIP: Start with 30min only, then add 5min/15min as you gain experience

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable
---
## 🎯 THE 5 HIGH-PROBABILITY SETUPS
### **SETUP #1: TRIPLE ORB BREAKOUT CONFLUENCE** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 📊 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The 2-System Confluence Method:**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 1: SNIPER ORB → Defines "Zones That Matter" │
│ • 30min ORB = primary institutional range │
│ • VWAP = fair value anchor │
│ • Targets = profit zones │
│ • 5min/15min = early warning signals │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER → Triggers precise entry │
│ • Wait for GOD MODE signal AT 30min ORB boundary │
│ • 6-gate filter: Score ≥9, fat body ≥70%, delta ≥70% │
│ • Candle Dominance Index (CDI) ≥7 │
│ • Intrabar pressure consistent throughout formation │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 3: EXECUTE TRADE │
│ • ORB breakout + GOD MODE = MAXIMUM PROBABILITY │
│ • Enter ONLY when BOTH systems align │
│ • This is TRUE "sniper" trading (2-5 trades/day max) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Confluence Scoring for Combined System:**
```
SNIPER ORB Criteria:
□ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM+) +2 points
□ All 3 ORBs broken in same direction +2 points
□ VWAP alignment (below=bull, above=bear) +1 point
□ Volume spike on breakout candle +1 point
□ Tight 3-ORB compression (<100pt divergence) +1 point
YM ULTIMATE SNIPER Criteria:
□ GOD MODE signal at ORB boundary +3 points
□ Score ≥9.0 (tier classification) +1 point
□ Candle Dominance Index (CDI) ≥8 +1 point
TOTAL POSSIBLE: 12 points
TRADE EXECUTION RULES:
• 10-12 points = MAX SIZE (this is the holy grail setup)
• 8-9 points = FULL SIZE (high probability)
• 6-7 points = HALF SIZE (moderate probability)
• <6 points = NO TRADE (wait for better alignment)
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background

## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat

ICT Macro Tracker - Study Version (Original by toodegrees)This indicator is a modified study version of the ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker by toodegrees, based on the original open-source script available at The original indicator plots ICT Macro windows on the chart, corresponding to specific time [ periods when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm undergoes checks/instructions (aka "macros") for the price engine to reprice to an area of liquidity or inefficiency.
This study version adds functionality to hide bars outside macro periods. When enabled, the indicator draws boxes that cover the full chart height during non-macro periods, obscuring those bars so only macro periods are visible. This helps focus on macro-only price action. The feature is configurable, allowing users to enable or disable it and customize the box color. All original functionality remains intact.
SPX Master Levels & Correlations [Gemini] (v4.2)This will draw on your chart levels of SPX from other time frames low , high and ES
INAZUMA Bollinger BandsThis is an indicator based on the widely used Bollinger Bands, enhanced with a unique feature that visually emphasizes the "strength of the breakout" when the price penetrates the bands.
Main Features and Characteristics
1. Standard Bollinger Bands Display
Center Line (Basis): Simple Moving Average (\text{SMA(20)}).
1 sigma Lines: Light green (+) and red (-) lines for reference.
2 sigma Lines (Upper/Lower Band): The main dark green (+) and red (-) bands.
2. Emphasized Breakout Zones: "INAZUMA / Flare" and "MAGMA"
The key feature is the activation of colored, expanding areas when the candlestick's High or Low breaks significantly outside the \pm 2\sigma bands.
Upper Side (Green Base / Flare):
When the High exceeds the +2\sigma line, a green gradient area expands upwards.
Indication: This visually suggests strong buying pressure or overbought conditions. The color deepens as the price moves further away, indicating higher momentum.
Lower Side (Red Base / Magma):
When the Low falls below the -2 sigma line, a red gradient area expands downwards.
Indication: This visually suggests strong selling pressure or oversold conditions. The color deepens as the price moves further away, indicating higher momentum.
Key Insight: This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the momentum and market excitement when the price moves outside the standard Bollinger Bands range. Use it as a reference for judging trend strength and potential entry/exit points.
Customizable Settings
You can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Length: The period used for calculating the Moving Average and Standard Deviation. (Default: 20)
StdDev (Standard Deviation): The multiplier for the band width (e.g., 2.0 for -2 sigma). (Default: 2.0)
Source: The price data used for calculation (Default: close).
Dual Pivot StructureDual Pivot Structure: Speed vs. Stability
Overview
This script is an experimental prototype designed to solve the most common frustration with Market Structure indicators: The Trade-off between Lag and Noise.
In traditional Price Action analysis, verifying a Pivot High or Low requires waiting for X number of candles to close.
High Lookback (e.g., 5 bars): Reliable structure, but the signal appears too late to trade.
Low Lookback (e.g., 1 bar): Fast signals, but prone to "fake-outs" and noise.
This indicator runs both logic systems simultaneously, allowing traders to see the "True" market structure while receiving "Early Warning" signals for potential entries.
How It Works
The script calculates two parallel layers of market data:
1. The "Structure" Layer (Slow & Reliable)
Uses a standard, higher lookback period (Default: 5 Left / 5 Right).
Purpose: Defines the macro trend. It labels confirmed Higher Highs (HH), Lower Lows (LL), etc.
Visual: Solid colored labels. These confirm the trend bias.
2. The "Signal" Layer (Fast & Actionable)
Uses a rapid, minimal lookback period (Default: 1 Left / 1 Right).
Purpose: Hunts for potential reversals within the macro trend.
Logic: If the Macro Trend is bullish, but price pulls back, this layer looks for a "Micro Pivot" that is higher than the previous Macro Low.
Visual: Orange "⚠ HL?" or "⚠ LH?" text.
How to Use This Script
This tool is best used to time entries within an established trend.
Identify the Trend: Look at the Solid Labels (Green/Red). Are we making HHs and HLs? The trend is Up.
Wait for the Pullback: Allow price to retrace.
Watch for the Early Warning: Look for the orange "⚠ HL?" text.
This appears bars before the structural pivot is confirmed.
The Signal: This is your aggressive entry trigger or alert to watch for a lower timeframe change of character.
Confirmation: If price continues in your direction, the script will eventually print a solid HL label, confirming your early entry was correct.
Settings
Structure Settings: Controls the sensitivity of the main trend (Default: 5/5). Increase this for higher timeframes to filter noise.
Signal Settings: Controls the sensitivity of the early warnings (Default: 1/1). Keep this low for maximum speed.
Visuals: Toggle the "Early Warning" labels on/off and customize colors to fit your chart theme.
Disclaimer
This script is a prototype for educational purposes. The "Early Warning" signals are, by definition, unconfirmed and carry higher risk. Always manage risk accordingly.
Single Prints and Poor Highs/Lows [Real-Time]This indicator is designed for traders utilizing Auction Market Theory (AMT) who need real-time visibility into market structure inefficiencies. Unlike standard TPO tools that often wait for closed bars or finished sessions, this script builds a developing TPO profile tick-by-tick to identify Single Prints and Poor Highs/Lows the moment they form.
Key Features:
Real-Time Single Prints: Automatically detects and highlights areas of single-print inefficiencies (buying/selling tails) as they happen. These "ghost" boxes persist on the chart until price repairs (fills) them, acting as immediate targets or support/resistance zones.
Poor High/Low Detection: Strictly implements AMT logic to identify "unfinished" auctions. If a session extreme is formed by two or more TPO blocks (indicating a flat top/bottom rather than a rejection tail), it marks the level with a dotted line.
Repair Logic: Both Single Prints and Poor High/Low lines are dynamic. If price revisits and repairs the structure, the markers automatically vanish to keep your chart clean.
Session Control: Fully customizable RTH (Regular Trading Hours) session input (default 08:30–15:15) to ensure profiles are built on relevant liquidity.
Quantization: Adjustable "Ticks per Block" allowing you to tune the sensitivity of the TPO profile to different assets (ES, NQ, CL, etc.).
How It Works:
TPO Construction: The script breaks the session into 30-minute periods (configurable) and tracks price overlap.
Single Prints: When the market expands rapidly, leaving gaps in the profile (single TPO blocks), a box is drawn. If price trades back through this box, it deletes itself.
Poor Extremes: It monitors the current session High and Low. If the extreme price level has a TPO count of ≥ 2, it is flagged as "Poor." If the extreme is a single print (count = 1), it is considered a valid tail and left unmarked.
Settings:
RTH Session: Define your specific trading session time.
TPO Period: Default is 30 minutes (standard AMT).
Ticks per Block: Controls the vertical resolution of the TPO. (Higher values = coarser profile, Lower values = more precision).
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Live Prints, Historical Prints, and Poor High/Low lines.
Usage:
Use this tool to spot immediate structural targets. A Poor High often acts as a magnet for price to revisit and "repair," while Single Prints often defend as support/resistance on the first retest.
