NQ Hourly Retracements - 12y Stats with LevelsHour Stats with Levels - TradingView Indicator Description
IMPORTANT: NQ FUTURES ONLY
This indicator is specifically designed for and calibrated to NQ (Nasdaq-100 E-mini) futures only. The statistical data is derived exclusively from 13 years of NQ price action (2013-2025). Do not use this indicator on any other asset, ticker, or market as the statistics will not be applicable and may lead to incorrect trading decisions.
Overview
"Hour Stats with Levels" is a statistical analysis indicator that provides real-time probability-based insights into hourly price behavior patterns. The indicator combines historical pattern recognition with live price action to help traders anticipate potential sweep and reversal scenarios within each trading hour.
Originality and Core Concept
This indicator is based on a comprehensive statistical analysis of 12y years of 1-minute NQ futures data, examining a specific price pattern: when an hourly candle opens inside the previous hour's range. Unlike generic support/resistance indicators, this tool provides hour-specific, context-aware probabilities based on 30,000+ historical occurrences of this pattern.
The originality lies in three key areas:
Pattern-Specific Statistics: Rather than applying generic technical analysis, the indicator only activates when the current hour opens within the previous hour's range, providing relevant statistics for this exact scenario.
Context-Aware Probabilities: Statistics are differentiated based on whether the current hour opened above or below the previous hour's open, recognizing that bullish and bearish opening contexts produce different behavioral patterns.
Comprehensive Retracement Tracking: The indicator tracks four independent retracement levels after a sweep occurs, showing the probability of price returning to: the swept level itself (90+% probability), the 50% level, the current hour's open, and the opposite extreme.
How It Works
The Core Pattern
The indicator monitors a specific price structure:
Setup Condition: The current hourly candle opens inside (between) the previous hour's high and low
Sweep Event: Price then breaks above the previous high (high sweep) or below the previous low (low sweep)
Retracement Analysis: After a sweep, the indicator tracks whether price retraces to key levels
Statistical Foundation
The underlying analysis processed 1-minute bar data from 2013-2025, identifying every instance where an hourly candle opened inside the previous hour's range. For each occurrence, the system tracked:
Whether the high, low, or both were swept during that hour
The distance of the sweep measured as a percentage of the previous hour's range
Whether price retraced to four key levels: the swept level, the 50% point, the current open, and the opposite extreme
These measurements were aggregated for all 24 hours of the trading day, with separate statistics for bullish contexts (opening above previous open) and bearish contexts (opening below previous open), creating 48 unique statistical profiles.
Sweep Distance Percentiles
The "reversal levels" are drawn based on historical sweep distance distributions:
25th Percentile: 75% of historical sweeps were larger than this distance. This represents a conservative reversal zone where smaller, contained sweeps typically reverse.
Median (50th Percentile): The midpoint of all historical sweep distances. Half of all sweeps reversed before reaching this level, half extended beyond it.
75th Percentile: Only 25% of sweeps extended beyond this distance. This represents an extended sweep zone where price has historically shown exhaustion.
For example, if the previous hour's range was 20 points and the median high sweep distance is 40% of range, the median reversal level would be placed 8 points above the previous high.
How to Use the Indicator
Sweeps were calculated using 1m data - as such, it's recommended to use the indicator on a 1min chart
Visual Components
Hour Delimiter (Gray Vertical Line)
Marks the start of each new hour
Helps identify when new statistics become active
Sweep Markers
Green "H" label: High sweep has occurred this hour
Red "L" label: Low sweep has occurred this hour
Markers appear on the exact bar where the sweep happened
Target Levels (Blue Lines)
Prev Open: Previous hour's opening price
Prev High: Previous hour's highest price (sweep target)
Prev Low: Previous hour's lowest price (sweep target)
Prev 50%: Midpoint of previous hour's range
Current Open: Current hour's opening price (key retracement target)
Reversal Levels (Purple Dashed Lines)
Positioned beyond the previous high/low based on historical sweep percentiles
Three levels above previous high (for high sweeps)
Three levels below previous low (for low sweeps)
These represent statistically-derived zones where sweeps typically exhaust
The Statistics Table
The table dynamically updates each hour and displays different statistics based on whether the current hour opened above or below the previous hour's open.
Status Row
Shows current state: waiting for sweep, or which sweep(s) have occurred
If waiting, indicates which sweep is more probable based on historical data
SWEEP PROBABILITIES Section
High Sweep: Historical probability (%) that price will sweep the previous high this hour
Low Sweep: Historical probability (%) that price will sweep the previous low this hour
Both Sweeps: Historical probability (%) that price will sweep both levels this hour
These probabilities are derived from counting how many times each pattern occurred in similar historical contexts. For example, "High Sweep: 73.18%" means that in 73.18% of historical occurrences where the hour opened in this same context (same hour of day, same position relative to previous open), price swept the previous high before the hour closed.
AFTER HIGH SWEEP → Section
These statistics activate only after a high sweep has occurred. They show the probability of price retracing to various levels:
→ Prev High: Probability that price returns to (or below) the level it just swept. This is typically 90%+ because sweeps often act as "false breakouts" or liquidity grabs before reversal.
→ 50% Level: Probability that price retraces at least halfway back into the previous hour's range. This represents a moderate retracement.
→ Current Open: Probability that price retraces all the way back to where the current hour opened. This indicates a complete reversal of the sweep move.
→ Prev Low: Probability that price retraces entirely through the previous range to touch the opposite extreme. This represents a full reversal pattern.
AFTER LOW SWEEP → Section
Mirror of the above, but for low sweeps:
→ Prev Low: Retracement to the swept low level (90%+ probability)
→ 50% Level: Retracement to middle of range
→ Current Open: Full retracement to current hour's open
→ Prev High: Complete reversal to opposite extreme
Important Note on Retracement Statistics: These percentages are tracked independently. A 90% probability of returning to the swept level doesn't mean there's only a 10% chance of deeper retracement. Price can (and often does) retrace through multiple levels sequentially. The percentages show how many times price reached at least that level, not where it stopped.
Trading Applications
Anticipating Sweeps
When an hour opens inside the previous range, check the probabilities. If "High Sweep: 70%" and "Low Sweep: 30%", you know there's a 70% historical likelihood of an upside sweep occurring this hour. This doesn't guarantee it will happen, but provides statistical context for potential setups.
Reversal Trading
The most reliable pattern in the data is the 90%+ retracement probability to swept levels. When a sweep occurs, traders can anticipate a retracement back to at least the swept level in the vast majority of cases. The reversal level percentiles help identify where sweeps may exhaust.
Position Management
The retracement probabilities help manage existing positions. For example, if you're long and a high sweep occurs, you know there's a 90%+ chance of at least some retracement to the swept level, which might inform profit-taking or stop-loss decisions.
Confluence with Current Open
The "Current Open" retracement statistics (typically 60-70%) highlight the magnetic quality of the hour's opening price. After a sweep, price frequently returns to test this level.
Customization Options
The indicator offers extensive visual customization:
Toggle on/off: hour delimiters, sweep markers, target levels, reversal levels, statistics table
Customize colors, line widths, and styles for all visual elements
Adjust label sizes and table position
Show/hide individual target levels and reversal percentiles
Limitations and Considerations
Pattern-Specific: The indicator only provides statistics when the current hour opens inside the previous hour's range. If the hour opens outside this range (gaps up or down), the statistics are not applicable.
Historical Probabilities: The percentages represent historical frequencies, not predictions. A 70% probability means it happened 70% of the time historically, not that it will definitely happen 7 out of 10 times going forward.
NQ-Specific Calibration: All statistics are derived from NQ futures data. Market behavior, volatility, and patterns differ across assets.
Hour-Specific Behavior: Different hours show dramatically different statistics. For example, the 9 AM EST hour (market open) shows much higher sweep probabilities (80%+) than the 5 PM EST hour (30-50%) due to differing liquidity and volatility conditions.
No Guarantee of Execution: While a 90% retracement probability is high, it means 10% of the time, price did NOT retrace. Always use proper risk management.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses hourly timeframe data via request.security() to determine previous hour values
Sweep detection occurs in real-time on the chart's timeframe
Statistics are hardcoded from the comprehensive backtested analysis (not calculated on-the-fly)
The indicator stores static values at the start of each hour to ensure consistency as the hour progresses
All percentage values are rounded to one decimal place for clarity
This indicator provides a statistically-grounded framework for understanding hourly price behavior in NQ futures. By combining real-time pattern detection with comprehensive historical analysis, it offers traders probabilistic insights to inform decision-making process within the specific context of each trading hour.
Pivot Point dan Level
Golden Zone Structure [Kodexius]Golden Zone Structure is a ZigZag based market structure and Fibonacci tool designed to make swing context easier to read directly on the price chart. It detects meaningful pivot highs and lows, labels the evolving structure (HH, HL, LH, LL, including equal highs and lows), and automatically projects a Fibonacci map across the most recent completed swing.
Instead of forcing you to manually anchor Fib tools after every new leg, the script rebuilds levels each time a fresh pivot is confirmed. This makes it well suited for traders who focus on swing continuation, pullback depth, and reaction zones where liquidity and orderflow often concentrate.
A key emphasis is the Golden Zone highlight. The indicator shades the zone that is most relevant to the current swing context so you can quickly spot where a retracement is approaching a higher probability reaction area, without cluttering the chart with too many permanent objects.
The tool is intentionally visual and configurable. You can choose pivot source (High/Low or Close), adjust swing sensitivity via ZigZag period, switch color themes, and decide how much detail you want on screen (levels, zigzag lines, labels).
Optional trading markers can be enabled for users who want a lightweight “zone interaction” prompt. These markers are not intended as a standalone trading system. They are meant to complement your own confirmation rules (structure alignment, volume, higher timeframe bias, or price action triggers).
🔹Features
🔸 ZigZag Swing Engine
- Uses a configurable ZigZag period to filter noise and confirm swing points only when the lookback logic validates the move.
Supports different pivot sources (High/Low or Close) so you can choose between cleaner structure or more reactive behavior depending on the instrument.
Optional ZigZag leg drawing to visualize swing flow without clutter.
🔸 Market Structure Labels (HH, HL, LH, LL + Equals)
- Automatically labels each confirmed pivot based on how it compares to the prior pivot of the same type.
High side classification: H, HH, LH, EH.
Low side classification: L, HL, LL, EL.
Equal highs and lows help reveal potential liquidity pools and “magnet” areas where price often reacts or breaks with intent.
🔸 Auto Fibonacci Map on the Active Swing
- Rebuilds Fibonacci levels every time a new pivot is confirmed, keeping the projection aligned with the most recent completed leg.
Core retracement levels: 0.236, 0.382, 0.500, 0.618, 0.786.
Extension levels: 1.272 and 1.618 for expansion targeting and continuation mapping.
Optional price labels on each level, formatted to tick size so levels remain readable across markets.
🔸 Golden Zone Highlighting (Context Aware)
- Highlights the most relevant retracement band with a soft fill so you can spot “zone approach” moments at a glance.
The zone selection adapts to swing context, focusing on a different retracement region depending on whether the last confirmed pivot is a peak or a trough.
Adjustable transparency keeps the chart clean while preserving the key reaction area.
🔸 Visual Customization + Themes
- Multiple color themes (Neon, Ocean, Sunset, Monochrome) so the tool fits different chart styles and backgrounds.
Independent toggles for Fib levels, Golden Zone shading, ZigZag lines, and price labels.
Line width controls for better scaling across timeframes.
🔸 Optional Trading Markers + Alerts
- Optional BUY and SELL labels based on zone interaction logic with candle confirmation filters.
ATR based placement offset scaled by sensitivity so labels stay visually separated during volatility.
Built in alert conditions for new pivot highs and new pivot lows so you can monitor structure changes without watching every bar.
▶ Practical Usage Tip
• Use structure labels to define bias (HH + HL for bullish structure, LH + LL for bearish structure).
• Use the Golden Zone as a location filter, then wait for your own trigger (break of minor structure, rejection candle, volume shift, etc.).
• Treat extensions as “map points” not guaranteed targets. They work best when structure supports continuation.
Support and ResistanceSupport & Resistance Zones
This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance zones by clustering confirmed pivot highs and lows into statistically valid price areas.
Instead of drawing single horizontal lines, it creates price zones whose width is dynamically controlled using ATR (Average True Range), allowing the zones to adapt to market volatility.
Core Logic
The indicator scans a user-defined number of historical bars and detects pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable pivot strength.
Each new pivot is evaluated against previously detected zones:
A zone becomes visible only after receiving sufficient confirmation (minimum number of pivot touches).
This ensures that only structurally meaningful levels are drawn.
Zone Construction Rules
Zones are formed by grouping pivot points whose total price range remains within ATR range
Each zone expands dynamically as new pivots confirm it
Zones are drawn as rectangular areas, not lines
Zones extend to the right, remaining active until price structure changes
This approach avoids over-plotting and reduces noise commonly seen in traditional support/resistance tools.
Dynamic Zone Coloring
Zones automatically change color based on current price position:
Support Color → Price is above the zone
Resistance Color → Price is below the zone
Neutral (In-Zone) Color → Price is trading inside the zone
This makes it easy to visually assess market context without additional indicators.

Works across all markets and timeframes
This indicator is designed to highlight areas of interest, not generate buy or sell signals.
It is best used in combination with trend, momentum, or volume-based tools.
Elite Monday Range V3- ProfessionalElite Monday Range V3 - Advanced Institutional Bias & Analysis
Overview
The Elite Monday Range V3 is a high-performance decision-support tool designed for traders who utilize the "Weekly Open" and "Monday's Range" as their primary benchmark for the trading week. Unlike standard range indicators, this script employs an advanced Multi-Asset Analysis Engine to determine the weekly bias with institutional-grade precision.
It doesn't just draw lines; it analyzes Previous Week's Close (PWC), Monday's Candle Structures (Price Action), and Internal Liquidity to provide a definitive "Directional Bias" and "Confidence Score."
Key Features
Smart Multi-Asset Detection: Automatically detects if you are trading Forex, Crypto, or Indices and adjusts its internal logic and strategy suggestions accordingly.
Institutional Bias Engine: Calculates a Confidence Score (from -4 to +4) based on 4 critical criteria:
Price vs. Previous Week Close: Checks if the bulls or bears are maintaining momentum from the prior week.
Monday Candle Analysis: Automatically identifies Pin Bars (Liquidity Grabs) or Strong Engulfing movements.
Price vs. Monday Midpoint (Equilibrium): The ultimate pivot point for weekly trend direction.
Price vs. Weekly Open: Tracks the "true" opening sentiment.
Liquidity Hunt Signals (Judas Swing): Visual alerts for LIQ BUY and LIQ SELL when price sweeps Monday's extremes and returns inside the range—a classic sign of institutional manipulation before a trend.
Symmetric Expansion Levels: Projects +50%, +100%, -50%, and -100% extensions of the Monday range to identify high-probability Take Profit (TP) and reversal zones.
Dynamic Professional Dashboard: A sleek, real-time table on your chart that summarizes Asset Type, Weekly Bias, Candle Info, and the Confidence Score.
Force Overlay Technology: Ensures all lines and labels remain visible and crisp on the top layer, above candles and other indicators.
How to Trade with the Elite Dashboard
Check the "Net Weekly Bias": Look for STRONG BULL or STRONG BEAR.
Verify Confidence Score: A score of 3 or 4 (or -3/-4 for shorts) indicates high-probability conditions.
Identify Entry: If the Bias is "STRONG BULL," wait for a retest of the Monday Mid (MID) or Monday High (MON H).
Confirm with Liquidity: Look for a LIQ BUY signal near the Monday Low for the highest-quality "A+ Setup."
Target: Use the Expansion Levels (+50% / +100%) as your primary targets for the week.
Technical Settings
Lookback Weeks: Choose exactly how many historical weeks to display to keep your chart clean.
Customizable Colors: Fully adjustable colors for Monday ranges and expansion projections.
Line Width: User-defined thickness for professional visual clarity.
Daytrading Suite: Neon TPO + FVG v6.1Here is the summary of the code and the trading guide in English.
---
### 1. Code Summary: What does the chart show?
The script combines three dimensions of trading into a single chart:
* **The Context (TPO / Market Profile - Yesterday):**
* **Gold Zone (Center):** Yesterday's **POC (Point of Control)**. This was the "fairest price". It often acts as a magnet.
* **White Dashed Lines:** The **VAH (Value Area High)** and **VAL (Value Area Low)**. Yesterday, 70% of all trading volume happened between these lines. This is the area of "Balance".
* **The Structure (HTF - 1 Hour+):**
* **Red/Green Boxes (Right Edge):** Automatic **Supply & Demand Zones** based on the 1-hour chart (or your setting). They indicate major resistance and support levels.
* **The Timing (Entries):**
* **Neon FVG Boxes (Small):** "Fair Value Gaps". These represent imbalances in price. If price revisits these, it is often your **entry signal**.
* **Lines (VWAP, EMA, PDH/PDL):** Act as dynamic support and trend indicators.
---
### 2. Trading Strategy: How to use it
Do not just trade every colored spot. You must combine **Location (TPO)** with **Signal (FVG)**.
#### Step A: The Open (Where are we?)
In the morning (or at the US Open), check where the price is relative to the **white TPO lines**.
1. **Inside the White Lines (In Balance):**
* The market is undecided. Expect ranging/choppy behavior.
* **Strategy:** Buy at the bottom edge (VAL), Sell at the top edge (VAH). The target is often the Gold Zone (POC) in the middle.
2. **Outside the White Lines (Imbalance):**
* The market is seeking new prices. Danger of a Trend!
* **Strategy:** If price breaks above VAH and tests it from above -> **Long**. If it breaks below VAL -> **Short**.
#### Step B: The Setup (The High Probability Scenario)
Here is the "Rejection" Setup (Long Example):
1. Price drops to the lower white line (**VAL**) or into a green **Demand Zone**.
2. It bounces (shows a wick).
3. In the process, a small **green Neon FVG** is formed.
4. **Entry:** Limit Order at the top of the Neon FVG.
5. **Target:** The Gold Zone (POC) or the upper white line (VAH).
6. **Stop Loss:** Below the recent swing low.
#### Step C: Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
* **In "No Man's Land":** If the price is sitting right in the middle between Gold (POC) and White (VAH/VAL), do nothing. The risk is 50/50. Wait until price hits an edge.
* **Against the Flow:** If EMA 9 and 21 are pointing steeply downwards, do not buy blindly at the VAL just because the line is there. Wait for confirmation (FVG).
### Pre-Trade Checklist:
1. **Level:** Am I at a white line (VAH/VAL) or the Gold Zone (POC)?
2. **Structure:** Do I have an HTF Demand/Supply Zone backing me up?
3. **Trigger:** Do I see a Neon FVG pointing in my direction?
RSI Divergences KittenRSI Divergences + Adjustable RSI σ-Bands + Band Pierce Signals (with optional US weekend filter)
Description:
This indicator combines three RSI tools into one clean workflow:
1. RSI σ-Bands (mean ± k·σ)
It builds dynamic upper/lower bands around RSI using a moving mean and standard deviation. These bands adapt to regime changes (expanding in volatile periods, contracting in quiet periods). Bands can be clipped to RSI’s natural 0–100 range and optionally filled for readability.
2. Band “Pierce” Signals
It prints a marker when RSI crosses outside the upper band (overextension) or outside the lower band (underextension). These pierces are useful as timing signals for mean-reversion setups, especially when you expect price to revert back toward a reference mean (e.g., VWAP). Optional “re-entry” markers show when RSI crosses back inside the bands.
3. Proper RSI Divergences (Regular + Hidden)
Divergences are detected using RSI pivots (not price pivots). At each RSI pivot, the script samples the corresponding price high/low on that pivot bar and compares it to the previous pivot within a configurable bar-distance window.
• Bullish divergence: price lower low + RSI higher low
• Hidden bullish: price higher low + RSI lower low
• Bearish divergence: price higher high + RSI lower high
• Hidden bearish: price lower high + RSI higher high
Line width is configurable for visibility.
Manual Band Adjustment (Near-Miss Control):
If your best reversals “nearly” tag the band, you can manually tune sensitivity without rewriting the math:
• Band offset (RSI points): nudges trigger levels
• Band width scale: tightens/widens the σ-band envelope
US Weekend Filter (Optional):
You can optionally suppress pierce/divergence signals during US weekend hours (Fri 17:00 ET → Sun 17:00 ET) and optionally shade those periods to help isolate low-liquidity behavior.
Notes / Intended Use:
This is designed as a mean-reversion timing tool, not a standalone trading system. For best results, combine signals with a market “mean” (e.g., rolling VWAP) and basic risk controls.
Order Blocks & ImbalanceThis indicator automatically identifies and plots Order Blocks (also known as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances) based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology. It detects significant price inefficiencies (gaps between candles) that often act as institutional supply or demand zones.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
1. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
The indicator identifies classic 3-candle imbalances:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand): When the low of the current candle is significantly below the high of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
- Bearish Order Block (Supply): When the high of the current candle is significantly above the low of the candle two bars ago (low - high ).
A minimum size threshold is enforced using ATR(14) × user-defined multiplier (default 0.5) to filter out minor gaps and focus on meaningful inefficiencies.
2. Zone Creation
- Bullish zones are created at the candle two bars ago (the "origin" candle where inefficiency occurred).
- Bearish zones use the same origin candle.
- Zone boundaries:
Top = high of origin candle
Bottom = low of origin candle
This captures the full range where price moved aggressively, leaving an imbalance that institutions may later revisit.
3. Mitigation Detection
Zones can be mitigated in two ways (user-selectable):
- "Close": Zone is considered touched only if the close price enters the zone.
- "Wick": Zone is touched if any wick (high/low) enters the zone (more sensitive).
When mitigated:
- Background becomes more transparent
- Border turns dotted
- Label changes to "Mitigated"
Broken zones (price fully closes beyond the opposite side) are automatically deleted.
4. Zone Lifecycle Management
- Active Zone: Strong color fill (green for demand, red for supply) with solid border.
- Mitigated Zone: Faded color, dotted border – indicates partial fill or reduced strength.
- Broken Zone: Automatically removed from chart to reduce clutter.
Old zones are also pruned when exceeding 450 total to maintain performance.
5. Smart Visibility Engine (Optional)
When enabled:
- All zones are initially hidden.
- Only the closest relevant zones are shown:
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) highest bullish zones (closest below price)
- Up to user-defined limit (default 10) lowest bearish zones (closest above price)
- Visible zones are automatically extended to the right and styled appropriately.
This keeps the chart clean while highlighting the most actionable zones near current price.
6. Visual Elements
- Demand Zones: Green fill, labeled "OB Demand"
- Supply Zones: Red fill, labeled "OB Supply"
- Tiny text size to minimize chart clutter
- Zones drawn as boxes using bar_index positioning
How to Use
Order Blocks represent areas of price inefficiency where smart money likely entered/exited positions aggressively.
- Demand Zones (Green): Potential long entry areas when price returns. Expect buying pressure to defend these levels. Best setups when price retests an active (non-mitigated) zone.
- Supply Zones (Red): Potential short entry areas when price returns. Expect selling pressure to emerge.
- Mitigated Zones: Lower probability – may act as weaker support/resistance.
- Smart Visibility: Highly recommended for cleaner charts. Focuses attention on zones most likely to be tested soon.
- Combine with:
- Break of Structure (BOS)/Change of Character (CHOCH)
- Liquidity grabs
- Higher timeframe confluence
- Volume or momentum confirmation
Use higher FVG threshold (e.g., 0.8–1.0) for fewer, higher-quality zones. Lower threshold for more aggressive detection.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
Iridescent Liquidity Prism [JOAT]Iridescent Liquidity Prism | Peer Momentum HUD
A multi-layered order-flow indicator that combines microstructure analysis, smart-money footprint detection, and intermarket momentum signals. The script uses dynamic color-shifting themes to visualize liquidity patterns, structure, and peer momentum data directly on the chart.
There is so much to choose from inside the settings, if you think it's a mess on the chart it's because you have to personally customize it based on your needs...
Core Functionality
The indicator calculates and displays several analytical layers simultaneously:
Order-Flow Imbalance (OFI): Calculates buy vs. sell volume pressure using volume-weighted price distribution within each bar. Uses an EMA filter (default: 55 periods) to smooth the signal. Values are normalized using standard deviation to identify significant imbalances.
Smart Money Footprints: Detects accumulation and distribution zones by comparing volume rate of change (ROC) against price ROC. When volume ROC exceeds a threshold (default: 65%) and price ROC is positive, accumulation is detected. When volume ROC is high but price ROC is negative, distribution is detected.
Fractal Structure Mapping: Identifies pivot highs and lows using a fractal detection algorithm (default: 5-bar period). Maintains a rolling window of recent structure points (default: 4 levels) and draws connecting lines to show trend structure.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: Automatically detects price gaps where three consecutive candles create an imbalance. Bullish FVGs occur when the current low exceeds the high two bars ago. Bearish FVGs occur when the current high is below the low two bars ago. Gaps persist for a configurable duration (default: 320 bars) and fade when price fills the gap.
Liquidity Void Detection: Identifies candles where the high-low range exceeds an ATR threshold (default: 1.7x ATR) while volume is below average (default: 65% of 20-bar average). These conditions suggest areas where liquidity may be thin.
Price/Volume Divergence: Uses linear regression to detect when price trend direction disagrees with volume trend direction. A divergence alert appears when price is trending up while volume is trending down, or vice versa.
Peer Momentum Heatmap (PMH): Calculates composite momentum scores for up to 6 symbols across 4 timeframes. Each score combines RSI (default: 14 periods) and StochRSI (default: 14 periods, 3-bar smooth) to create a momentum composite between -1 and +1. The highest absolute momentum score across all combinations is displayed in the HUD.
Custom settings using Fractal Pivots, Skeleton Structure, Pulse Liquidity Voids, Bottom Colorful HeatMaps, and Iridescent Field.

Visual Components
Spectrum Aura Glow: ATR-weighted bands (default: 0.25x ATR) that expand and contract around price action, indicating volatility conditions. The thickness adapts to market volatility.
Chromatic Flow Trail: A blended line combining EMA and WMA of price (default: 8-period EMA blended with WMA at 65% ratio). The trail uses gradient colors that shift based on a phase oscillator, creating an iridescent effect.
Volume Heat Projection: Creates horizontal volume profile bands at price levels (default: 14 levels). Scans recent bars (default: 150 bars) to calculate volume concentration. Each level is colored based on its volume density relative to the maximum volume level.
Structure Skeleton: Dashed lines connecting fractal pivot points. Uses two layers: a primary line (2-3px width) and an optional glow overlay (4-5px width) for enhanced visibility.
Fractal Markers: Diamond shapes placed at pivot high and low points. Color-coded: primary color for highs, secondary color for lows.
Iridescent Color Themes: Five color themes available: Iridescent (default), Pearlescent, Prismatic, ColorShift, and Metallic. Colors shift dynamically using a phase oscillator that cycles through the color spectrum based on bar index and a speed multiplier (default: 0.35).

Smart Money Activity - Triggers when accumulation or distribution detected
Price/Volume Divergence - Triggers when divergence conditions occur
Structure Shift - Triggers when structure polarity changes significantly
PMH Bull Surge - Triggers when PMH exceeds positive threshold (if enabled)
PMH Bear Surge - Triggers when PMH exceeds negative threshold (if enabled)
Bull/Bear Prismatic FVG - Triggers when new FVG is detected (if FVG display enabled)
---
Usage Considerations
Performance may vary on lower timeframes due to the volume heat map calculations scanning multiple bars. Consider reducing heat map lookback or levels if experiencing slowdowns.
The PMH feature requires data requests to other symbols/timeframes, which may impact performance. Limit the number of peer symbols and timeframes for optimal performance.
FVG boxes automatically expire after the persistence period to prevent chart clutter. The maximum box limit (default: 40) prevents excessive memory usage.
Color themes affect all visual elements. Choose a theme that provides good contrast with your chart background.
The indicator is designed for overlay display. All visual elements are positioned relative to price action.
Structure lines are drawn dynamically as new pivots form. On fast-moving markets, structure may update frequently.
Volume calculations assume typical volume data availability. Symbols without volume may show incomplete data for volume-dependent features.
---
Technical Notes
Built on Pine Script v6 with dynamic request capability for PMH functionality.
Uses exponential moving averages (EMA) and weighted moving averages (WMA) for trail calculations to balance responsiveness and smoothness.
Volume profile calculation uses price level buckets. Higher levels provide finer granularity but require more computation.
Iridescent color engine uses a phase oscillator with sine wave calculations for smooth color transitions.
Box management includes automatic cleanup of expired boxes to maintain performance.
All visual elements use color gradients and transparency for smooth blending with price action.

Customization Examples
Intraday Scalping Setup:
Analysis Depth: 30 bars
Heat Map Lookback: 100 bars
FVG Persistence: 150 bars
PMH Window: 15 bars
Fast color shift speed: 0.5+
Macro Structure Tracking:
Analysis Depth: 100+ bars
Heat Map Lookback: 300+ bars
FVG Persistence: 500+ bars
Structure Memory: 6-8 levels
Slower color shift speed: 0.2
---
Limitations
Volume heat map calculations may be computationally intensive on lower timeframes with high lookback values.
PMH requires valid symbol names and accessible timeframes. Invalid symbols or timeframes will return no data.
FVG detection requires at least 3 bars of history. Early bars may not show FVG boxes.
Structure lines connect points but do not predict future structure. They reflect historical pivot relationships.
Color themes are aesthetic choices and do not affect calculation logic.
The indicator does not provide trading signals. All visual elements are analytical tools that require interpretation in context of market conditions.

Monday Range - User Defined LookbackEnglish Description
Monday Range Expansion & Multi-Week Projections
This indicator identifies the Monday Range (the price action from Monday's open at 00:00) and projects symmetric expansion levels across the entire trading week. It is designed for traders who use the weekly open and Monday's volatility as a benchmark for the week's price action.
Key Features:
Exact Monday 00:00 Start: Using advanced logic, the indicator pins the starting point precisely to the weekly open (Monday 00:00), ensuring no lag or offset regardless of your timeframe.
Symmetric Expansion Levels: It calculates the Monday High-Low range and projects a +100%, +50%, -50%, and -100% expansion, providing clear support and resistance targets.
User-Defined Lookback: You can choose exactly how many past weeks to display on your chart, keeping your workspace clean and focused.
Force Overlay Technology: All lines and labels use force_overlay, ensuring they always stay on the top layer, above candles and other indicators.
Weekly Freeze: Historical weeks stay "frozen" at their Friday closing points, allowing for clear backtesting of previous weekly levels.
Linear Regression ChannelsThis indicator dynamically identifies and plots the best-fit linear regression channels based on recent pivot points, optimizing for statistical strength across user-defined depths.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
1. Pivot Point Detection
The indicator uses Pine Script's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions with a configurable sensitivity length to detect swing highs and lows. All recent pivot indices are stored in an array (limited to avoid performance issues), providing potential starting points for regression calculations.
2. Multi-Depth Evaluation
Users input comma-separated "Pivot History Depths" (e.g., "5,20,50"). For each depth:
- The script evaluates regression fits starting from the most recent pivots, up to the specified depth count.
- It calculates linear regression statistics for each possible channel originating from those pivot bars backward to the current bar.
3. Linear Regression Calculation
For each candidate channel:
- Slope (m) and intercept (b) are computed using least-squares method.
- R-squared (R²) measures goodness of fit (how well price follows the trend line).
- Standard error of the estimate is calculated to quantify volatility around the regression line.
- A composite score = R² × log(length) prioritizes stronger fits on longer periods.
4. Best-Fit Selection and Validation
- Only channels with R² ≥ user-defined minimum (default 0.5) are considered valid.
- The channel with the highest score for each depth is selected and drawn.
- This ensures the most statistically significant and relevant channels are displayed, avoiding weak or short-term noise.
5. Channel Construction
- Mean Line: The regression trend line extended slightly into the future.
- Inner Channels: ± user-configurable standard deviation multiplier (default 2.0σ) around the mean.
- Outer Bands: ±1.5× the inner deviation for additional visual context.
- Filled areas between mean and inner channels for better visibility.
- Color: Green shades for upward slopes (bullish trend), red shades for downward slopes (bearish trend).
6. Dashboard and Statistics
- Optional table in the top-right corner displays for each depth:
- Depth value
- R² (colored green if >0.7, orange otherwise)
- Slope (Beta) – positive blue for uptrend, red for downtrend
- Current Z-Score: How many standard deviations the latest close is from the expected regression value (yellow if |Z| > 2)
How to Use
Regression channels help identify trending markets, potential mean reversion, and overextension.
- Upward Channels (Green): Price above the mean may indicate strength; pullbacks to the mean or lower band offer long opportunities. Overextension above upper band could signal exhaustion.
- Downward Channels (Red): Price below the mean may indicate weakness; rallies to the mean or upper band offer short opportunities. Overextension below lower band could signal capitulation.
- High R² (>0.7): Strong trending channel – trade in direction of slope.
- Low R²: Choppy/range-bound market – avoid trend-following trades.
- Z-Score: |Z| > 2 suggests price is statistically overextended from the trend (potential reversion setup).
- Multi-Depth: Smaller depths catch short-term trends; larger depths capture major trends. Use multiple for confluence across timeframes.
Combine with volume, support/resistance, or other indicators for confirmation.

Supply-Demand Dominance & Energy RibbonOverview:
This indicator is specifically fine-tuned for the Nasdaq (NAS100) market. It combines volume-based Delta analysis (Supply-Demand) with price kinetic energy (Slope) to identify high-probability reversal points and trend strength.
Key Features & Usage:
Supply-Demand Dominance (Top-Right Label):
Analyzes volume spikes over a 50-period lookback to determine market control.
Displays "매수 우위" (Bullish Dominance) or "매도 우위" (Bearish Dominance) in real-time.
Energy Ribbon (Bottom Visualization):
Calculates the slope of the TCI oscillator to visualize momentum intensity.
Solid Green/Red: Strong momentum.
Faded Green/Red: Weakening momentum or minor trend.
Momentum Combo Signals (Circle Shapes):
Triggered when WaveTrend and TCI oscillators cross in extreme zones (Overbought 70 / Oversold 30).
Smart Filter: Signals are only shown when they align with the current Supply-Demand dominance, reducing "market noise."
Volume Spikes (Arrow Symbols):
Indicates abnormal volume activity (1.5x average delta). These arrows (↑/↓) help identify potential breakout points or the climax of a move even when a full combo signal isn't present.
HMA Pivot Buy/Sell (only) + AlertsThis Pine Script is a lightweight indicator that plots only HMA-based pivot Buy/Sell signals and provides alert conditions for them.
What it does
Calculates a Hull Moving Average (HMA) using either:
a dynamic length based on the chart timeframe, or
a custom user-defined length.
Detects HMA pivot points (local turning points):
Buy signal when the HMA forms a local minimum (trend turns up).
Sell signal when the HMA forms a local maximum (trend turns down).
Optionally plots the HMA line and prints only the Buy/Sell markers on the chart (no extra arrows/emoji/labels from other systems).
Adds TradingView alerts for Buy, Sell, and combined Buy/Sell events.
Signal logic
Buy (HMA Pivot Low) triggers when:
HMA > HMA and HMA < HMA
Meaning: the HMA was falling, formed a bottom, and has started rising.
Sell (HMA Pivot High) triggers when:
HMA < HMA and HMA > HMA
Meaning: the HMA was rising, formed a top, and has started falling.
Inputs
Source: price source used to compute HMA (default: close).
Use Custom HMA Length: enables manual override.
Custom HMA Length: manual HMA period (default: 55).
Alerts: only on bar close:
If enabled, alerts fire only after the bar closes (confirmed signals).
If disabled, alerts can fire intrabar (faster but less stable).
Draw signal on pivot bar (offset -1):
If enabled, markers are drawn on the pivot bar (one bar back) using offset = -1.
If disabled, markers are drawn on the confirmation bar (no offset).
Show HMA line: toggles display of the HMA line.
Alerts available
BUY (HMA Pivot) — triggers on Buy signal.
SELL (HMA Pivot) — triggers on Sell signal.
BUY/SELL (HMA Pivot) — triggers on either Buy or Sell.
Each alert message includes ticker, timeframe, and close price via placeholders:
{{ticker}}, {{interval}}, {{close}}.
Smart Money Concept Change of Character Break of StructureSMC Structure
Visualizes Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BoS) - two fundamental Smart Money Concepts for identifying trend reversals and continuations.
This is the 1st version of an implementation of this concept.
It is NOT supposed to be used as a signal but a confirmation. Best use during NYSE hours.
Full Description
Overview
This indicator automatically detects and displays two core Smart Money Concepts (SMC) directly on your chart:
CHoCH (Change of Character) – The first structural break against the prevailing trend, signaling a potential reversal
BoS (Break of Structure) – A structural break in the direction of the current trend, confirming continuation
These concepts are essential building blocks of SMC trading methodology, helping traders identify where institutional players may be entering or exiting positions.
How It Works
The indicator uses pivot-based swing detection to identify significant highs and lows. When price breaks through these levels, it classifies the move as either a CHoCH or BoS based on the current trend context.
CHoCH (Change of Character)
Occurs when price breaks structure AGAINST the current trend
First warning sign that the trend may be reversing
Displayed as a solid horizontal line with "CHoCH" label
Green = Bullish reversal | Red = Bearish reversal
BoS (Break of Structure)
Occurs when price breaks structure IN THE DIRECTION of the current trend
Confirms that the existing trend remains intact
Displayed as a dashed horizontal line with "BoS" label
Teal = Bullish continuation | Maroon = Bearish continuation
Visual Example
Uptrend with BoS (continuation):
HH ◄── BoS (trend continues)
/
HL
/
HH
/
HL
Uptrend → CHoCH → Downtrend (reversal):
HH
/ \
HL \
LL ◄── CHoCH (trend reversal!)
Settings
Pivot Settings
Pivot Lookback: Number of bars used to identify swing highs/lows (default: 5). Higher values = fewer but more significant structure points.
Display Options
Show CHoCH: Toggle CHoCH visualization
Show BoS: Toggle BoS visualization
Show Swing Points: Display SH/SL labels at detected pivots
Extend Lines to Right: Extend structure lines into future bars
Show Info Table: Display current trend and last swing levels
Show Trend Background: Color the chart background based on trend direction
Colors
Fully customizable colors for all elements
How to Use
Identify the trend: Look at the sequence of CHoCH and BoS signals to understand market structure
Watch for CHoCH: A CHoCH signals potential reversal – wait for confirmation before trading against the previous trend
Trade with BoS: BoS confirms trend continuation – look for entries on pullbacks in the direction of the trend
Combine with other SMC concepts: Works great alongside Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and liquidity concepts
Tips
Use higher pivot lookback values on higher timeframes for cleaner signals
A CHoCH doesn't guarantee reversal – it's the first warning sign, not confirmation
Multiple BoS signals in a row indicate a strong, healthy trend
Look for CHoCH occurring at key levels (support/resistance, order blocks) for higher probability setups

SMT Divergence [Kodexius]SMT Divergence is a correlation-based divergence detector built around the Smart Money Technique concept: when two normally correlated instruments should be making similar swing progress, but one prints a new extreme while the other fails to confirm it. This “disagreement” can be a valuable contextual signal around liquidity runs, distribution phases, and potential reversal or continuation points.
The script compares the chart symbol (primary) with a user-selected comparison symbol (for example BTC vs ETH, ES vs NQ, EUR/USD vs GBP/USD) and automatically scans both instruments for confirmed swing highs and swing lows using pivot logic. Once swings are established, it checks for classic SMT conditions:
Primary makes a new swing extreme while the comparison symbol forms a non-confirming swing .
To support a wider range of markets, the indicator includes an Inverse Correlation option for pairs that typically move opposite to each other (for example DXY vs EUR/USD). With this enabled, the divergence rules are logically flipped so that the script still detects “non-confirmation” in a way that is consistent with the pair’s relationship.
The indicator is designed to be readable and actionable. It can draw divergence labels directly on the main chart, connect the relevant swing points with lines, show a compact information table with the last signal and settings, and optionally render the comparison symbol as a mini candle chart in the indicator pane for quick visual validation.
🔹 Features
🔸 Two-Symbol SMT Analysis (Primary vs Compare)
Select any comparison symbol to evaluate correlation structure and divergence. The script fetches the comparison OHLC data using the current chart timeframe to keep both series aligned for analysis.
🔸 Inverse Correlation Mode
For inversely correlated pairs, enable “Inverse Correlation” so the script interprets confirmation appropriately (for example, a higher low on the comparison instrument might be expected to correspond to a lower low on the primary, depending on the relationship). This helps avoid false conclusions when the pair naturally moves opposite.
🔸 Pivot-Based Swing with Adjustable Sensitivity
Swings are detected using confirmed pivots (left bars and right bars). This provides cleaner structural swing points compared with raw candle-to-candle comparisons, and it lets you control sensitivity for different market conditions and timeframes. The script also limits stored swing history to keep performance stable.
🔸 Flexible Detection Mode: Time Matched or Independent Swings
You can choose how swings are paired across instruments:
Time Matched searches for a comparison swing that occurred at the same pivot time as the primary swing.
Independent Swings compares each symbol’s own last two swings without requiring an exact time match.
🔸 Range Control and Noise Filtering
To reduce weak or irrelevant signals:
“Max Bars Between Swings” ensures the two swings being compared are close enough in structure to be meaningful.
“Min Price Diff (%)” can require a minimum percentage change between the primary’s last two swing prices to confirm the move is significant.
🔸 Clear Visual Output with Tooltips
When a divergence is detected, the script can print a label (“SMT”) with bullish or bearish styling and a tooltip that includes the symbol pair and the primary swing price for quick context.
🔸 Divergence Lines for Context
Optional lines connect the relevant swing points, making it easier to see the exact structure that triggered the signal. One line can be drawn on the main chart and another in the indicator pane for the comparison series.
🔸 Info Table (At a Glance)
A compact table can display the active symbols, correlation mode, total divergences stored, and the most recent signal type.
🔸 Alerts Included
Built-in alert conditions are provided for bullish SMT, bearish SMT, and any SMT event so you can automate notifications without editing the code.
🔸 Optional Comparison Candle Panel
If enabled, the indicator can plot the comparison symbol as candles in the indicator pane. This is useful for confirming whether the divergence is happening around major levels, consolidations, or impulsive legs on the secondary instrument.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic used by the script.
1. Data Synchronization (Comparison Symbol)
The comparison instrument is requested on the chart’s current timeframe so swing calculations are performed consistently:
=
request.security(compareSymbolInput, timeframe.period, )
This ensures pivots and swing times are derived from the same bar cadence as the primary chart.
2. Swing Detection via Confirmed Pivots
Swings are detected using pivot logic with user-defined left and right bars:
primaryPivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars)
primaryPivotLow = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeftBars, pivotRightBars)
Because pivots are confirmed only after the “right bars” have closed, the script stores each swing using an offset so the swing’s bar index and time reflect where the pivot actually occurred, not where it was confirmed.
3. Swing Storage and Retrieval
Both symbols maintain arrays of SwingPoint objects. Each new swing is pushed into the array, and older swings are dropped once the array exceeds the configured maximum. This makes the divergence engine predictable and prevents uncontrolled memory growth.
The script then retrieves the last and previous swing highs and lows (per symbol) to evaluate structure.
4. Matching Logic (Time Matched vs Independent)
When “Time Matched” is selected, the script searches the comparison swing array for a pivot that occurred at the exact same timestamp as the primary swing. When “Independent Swings” is selected, it simply uses the comparison symbol’s last two swings of the same type.
5. Bullish SMT Condition (LL vs HL)
A bullish SMT event is defined as:
Primary forms a lower low (last low < previous low)
Comparison forms a higher low (last low > previous low)
If inverse correlation is enabled, the comparison condition flips to maintain logical confirmation rules
The two primary swings must be within the configured bar distance window
Optional minimum percentage difference must be satisfied
A simple anti duplication rule prevents repeated triggers on the same structure
These checks are implemented directly in the bullish detection block.
6. Bearish SMT Condition (HH vs LH)
A bearish SMT event is defined as:
Primary forms a higher high (last high > previous high)
Comparison forms a lower high (last high < previous high)
Inverse correlation flips the comparison rule
Range checks, minimum difference filtering, and duplicate protection apply similarly
These checks are implemented in the bearish detection block.
7. Percentage Difference Filter
The optional “Min Price Diff (%)” filter measures the relative distance between the last two primary swing prices. This prevents very small structural changes from being treated as valid SMT signals.
priceDiffPerc = math.abs(lastSwing.price - prevSwing.price) / prevSwing.price * 100.0
The divergence condition is only allowed to trigger if this value exceeds the user defined threshold.
priceOk = priceDiffPerc >= minPriceDiff
This filter is especially useful on higher timeframes or during low volatility conditions, where micro structure noise can otherwise produce misleading signals.
8. Visualization and Output
When a divergence is confirmed, the script:
Stores the event in a divergence array (limited by “Max Divergences to Display”)
Draws a directional SMT label with a tooltip (optional)
Draws connecting lines using time based coordinates for clean alignment (optional)
It also updates an information table on the last bar only, and exposes alertconditions for automation workflows.
Round NumbersRound Numbers
This indicator is a high-precision tool designed to automatically visualize psychological price marks and "round numbers" on your chart. It helps traders identify key areas where institutional orders and market sentiment often cluster, providing a clear map of potential support and resistance zones based on mathematical multiples.
Key Features:
11 Fully Configurable Level Groups: The indicator provides 11 independent level groups, pre-set to psychologically significant intervals (10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000).
Complete Customization: Every level can be individually toggled. Users can define the specific multiple, line color, thickness, and line style (Solid, Dashed, or Dotted) to distinguish between major and minor levels.
Dynamic Range Adaptation: The script calculates and draws lines based on the recent price action, ensuring the chart remains relevant to the current trading range without manual adjustment.
Performance Optimized: Utilizing an efficient line-pooling system, the indicator maintains high performance and ensures smooth chart scrolling while staying within platform drawing limits.
Use Cases:
Psychological Levels: Quickly identify major price magnets (e.g., Gold at $2500, $2600).
Grid Trading & Visualization: Create a clean visual grid for systematic entry and exit strategies.
Market Structure Analysis: Assist in recognizing "Big Round Numbers" where liquidity usually resides and where reversals are more likely to occur.
Settings:
For each of the 11 levels, you can configure:
Show Level: Enable or disable the specific group.
Multiple Value: The price interval for the lines (e.g., "100" creates a line every 100 points).
Color: Choose any color and transparency for the lines.
Width: Set the line thickness from 1 to 5.
Line Style: Select between Solid, Dashed, or Dotted appearances.
Custom Session ORB - Extending Past Current CandleCustom Session ORB - Extending Past Current Candle
This indicator plots Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels for one or two customizable trading sessions directly on your chart. It dynamically tracks the high, low, and midpoint of the defined session(s) and extends these levels beyond the session using a configurable offset.
Features:
Supports two custom sessions.
New York and Asia pre-saved.
Automatically tracks session High, Low, and Mid.
Option to extend ORB levels past the live candle.
Option to display only the most recent ORB for a clean chart.
Configurable line thickness, style, and label size.
Works in Eastern Standard Time (EST) without manual adjustment.
Settings:
Show Labels: Toggle to display ORB values on chart.
Label Font Size: Small, Normal, Large.
Mid Line Style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
ORB Line Thickness: Set line thickness of ORB levels.
Extend Past Current Candle by N Bars: Controls how far the ORB extends visually.
Show Only Current ORB: Cleans chart by removing previous session ORB levels.
Enable Session 1 / 2: Toggle individual sessions on/off.
Session Time: Set the start and end times for each session (automatically in EST).
How It Works:
The indicator monitors the defined session time, records the high, low, and midpoint, and draws lines at those levels. When the session ends, the lines are extended by the specified offset for easy breakout visualization. Labels can optionally show the exact price levels.
ATR High and Low Offset from PriceAverage True Range based on last X time periods. Learned this from the master Trader Dante, but wanted to code my own ATR indicator for practice and I noticed his keeps moving throughout the day on BTC, so testing my own.
AperonFx Pivot Points ATRThis indicator builds on classic pivot point methodology and enhances it with volatility-based ATR offsets to define adaptive support and resistance zones.
The pivot level is derived from the prior period’s price data, while the surrounding levels are calculated using the current day’s ATR to reflect prevailing market conditions.
Support and resistance are placed at incremental distances of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ATR away from the pivot, creating a structured price framework.
Users can adjust the pivot calculation method, reference timeframe, and visual presentation to suit their workflow.
Wiz ATRAverage True Range for given day based off past X amount of time periods. Best used by Trader Dante who is a ledge
AperonFx Pivot Points 1.1This indicator plots ATR-based pivot levels with a clean, institutional layout.
The central pivot (P) is calculated from the selected timeframe and price formula, while support and resistance levels are placed at equal distance steps above and below the pivot.
Users can choose between an automatic step based on ATR or a fixed price step for fully controlled, symmetric levels.
All levels are drawn as continuous segments that align precisely with the active pivot period.
Price annotations are displayed in a minimal, unobtrusive style and always match the exact level values.
The indicator is designed to remain consistent across chart timeframes without recalculation drift.
It is intended for traders who want clear, structured reference levels rather than reactive signals.
Interest ZonesThis indicator automatically identifies and plots "Interest Zones" around significant pivot highs and lows, representing potential areas of institutional interest, support/resistance, or accumulation/distribution. Zones are dynamically merged when pivots cluster near the same price level and extended for visibility.
How It Works (Technical Methodology)
Pivot Point Detection
The indicator uses Pine Script's ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() with asymmetric left/right lengths (default left=20, right=13) to detect swing highs and lows. This allows for customizable sensitivity – longer left for stronger confirmation, shorter right for faster detection.
Zone Start Condition (Filtering)
Multiple modes control from which point in history zones begin to be drawn:
"None": All historical pivots (limited by max zones).
"Auto (Start of Day)": Zones only from the beginning of the current trading day (resets daily).
"Manual Date": User-defined fixed date.
"Interactive (Chart)": User-confirmed date via input (useful for backtesting specific periods).
"Last X Bars": Only pivots within the last user-defined number of bars (default 400).
A vertical line marks the start point in date-based modes for visual reference.
Zone Construction
For each valid pivot:
Zone thickness is based on ATR(14) × user-defined multiplier (default 0.3) for dynamic, volatility-adjusted height.
Pivot High zones: Centered below the high (potential supply/resistance).
Pivot Low zones: Centered above the low (potential demand/support).
Zones are drawn as boxes extending to the right, with gray fill and border.
Merge & Overlap Logic
When a new pivot falls inside an existing zone or is very close (within user-defined "Proximity Sensitivity %" of the zone's midpoint, default 1.1%):
The new pivot is merged into the existing zone.
A counter ("x2", "x3", etc.) is displayed on the zone, indicating how many pivots have clustered there.
The zone is strengthened visually (counter text) and extended further right.
This highlights high-interest levels where price repeatedly reversed.
Zone Management
In "None" mode: Only the most recent user-defined max zones are kept (default 5) – oldest deleted automatically.
In other modes: Up to ~490 zones (performance limit), oldest pruned if exceeded.
All zones auto-extend to the right on the last bar for continuous visibility.
Visual Elements
Uniform gray color for all zones (configurable).
Transparent background fill (adjustable).
Counter text in white (configurable) when zones have multiple touches.
Clean, non-directional design – focuses purely on clustered reversal points.
How to Use
Interest Zones highlight price levels where the market has shown repeated respect through multiple swing pivots – often coinciding with institutional order clusters, psychological levels, or hidden support/resistance.
Higher counter values ("x3+", "x5+"): Stronger zones – higher probability of reaction on retest.
Use for:
Potential reversal or bounce areas when price approaches a zone.
Confluence with other tools (order blocks, FVG, volume profile, etc.).
Stop-loss placement beyond zones or take-profit at opposite zones.
Daily reset ("Auto Start of Day"): Ideal for intraday trading – fresh zones each session.
Backtesting: Use "Manual" or "Interactive" date modes to analyze specific historical periods.
"Last X Bars": Good for medium-term swing analysis without full history clutter.
Adjust ATR multiplier for tighter (lower) or wider (higher) zones based on asset volatility. Increase proximity sensitivity for more aggressive merging in ranging markets.
Combine with trend direction, volume, or higher-timeframe structure for best results.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
