Range
Session Streaks [LuxAlgo]The Session Streaks tool allows traders to identify whether a session is bullish or bearish on the chart. It also shows the current session streak, or the number of consecutive bullish or bearish sessions.
The tool features a dashboard with information about the session streaks of the underlying product on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
Analyzing session streaks is commonly used for market timing by studying the number of consecutive sessions over time and how long they last before the market changes direction.
We identify a bullish session as one in which the closing price is equal to or greater than the opening price, and a bearish session as one in which the closing price is below the opening price.
Each session is labeled according to its bias (bullish or bearish) and the number of consecutive sessions of the same type that conform the current streak.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard at the top shows information about the current session.
Under the "Streaks" header, historical information about session streaks is displayed, divided into bullish and bearish categories.
Number: Total number of streaks.
Median: The average duration of those streaks. We chose the median over the mean to avoid misrepresentation due to outliers.
Mode: The most common streak duration.
As the image shows, for this particular market, there are more bullish streaks than bearish ones. Bullish streaks have an average duration that is longer than that of bearish streaks, and both have the same most common streak duration.
If the current session is bullish and the median streak duration for bullish sessions is three, then we could consider scenarios in which the next two sessions are bullish.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Streaks On Larger Timeframes
On timeframes lower than or equal to Daily, the tool identifies each consecutive session, but this behavior changes on larger timeframes.
On timeframes larger than daily, the tool identifies the last session of each bar. Let's use the chart in the image as a reference.
At the top of the image, there is a daily chart where each session corresponds to each candle. One candle equals one day.
In the middle, we have a weekly chart where each session is the last session of each week, which is usually Friday for the Nasdaq 100 futures contract. The levels and labels displayed correspond to the last session within each candle, which is the last day of each week.
The levels and labels on the monthly chart correspond to the last session of each month, which is the last day of each month.
🔹 Gradient Style
Traders can choose between two different color gradients for the session background. Each gradient provides different information about price behavior within each session.
Horizontal: Green indicates prices at the top of the session range and red indicates prices at the bottom.
Vertical: Green indicates prices that are equal to or greater than the open price and red indicates prices that are below the open price of the session.
🔶 SETTINGS

VWAP Composites📊 VWAP Composite - Advanced Multi-Period Volume Weighted Average Price Indicator
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 OVERVIEW
VWAP Composite is an advanced volume-weighted average price (VWAP) indicator that goes beyond traditional single-period VWAP calculations by offering composite multi-period analysis and unprecedented customization. This indicator solves a common problem traders face: traditional VWAP resets at arbitrary intervals (session start, day, week), but significant price action and volume accumulation often spans multiple periods. VWAP Composite allows you to anchor VWAP calculations to any timeframe—or combine multiple periods into a single composite VWAP—giving you a true representation of average price weighted by volume across the exact periods that matter to your analysis.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS - CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
📌 CORE VWAP CALCULATION
The indicator calculates VWAP using the standard volume-weighted formula:
• Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
• VWAP = Σ(Typical Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
This calculation is performed across user-defined time periods, ensuring each bar's contribution to the average is proportional to its trading volume.
📌 STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
The indicator calculates volume-weighted standard deviation to measure price dispersion around the VWAP:
• Variance = Σ / Σ(Volume)
• Standard Deviation = √Variance
• Upper Band = VWAP + (StdDev × Multiplier)
• Lower Band = VWAP - (StdDev × Multiplier)
These bands help identify overbought/oversold conditions relative to the volume-weighted mean, with high-volume price excursions having greater impact on band width than low-volume moves.
📌 COMPOSITE PERIOD METHODOLOGY (Auto Mode)
Unlike traditional VWAP that resets at fixed intervals, Auto Mode creates composite VWAPs by combining the current period with N previous periods:
• Period Span = 1: Current period only (standard VWAP behavior)
• Period Span = 2: Current period + 1 previous period combined
• Period Span = 3: Current period + 2 previous periods combined
• And so on...
Example: A 3-period Weekly composite VWAP calculates from the start of 2 weeks ago through the current week's end, creating a single VWAP that represents 21 days of continuous price and volume data. This provides context about where price stands relative to the volume-weighted average over multiple weeks, not just the current week.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🔧 KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
✅ DUAL OPERATING MODES
1️⃣ MANUAL MODE (5 Independent VWAPs)
Define up to 5 separate VWAP calculations with custom start/end times:
• Perfect for anchoring VWAP to specific events (earnings, Fed announcements, major reversals)
• Each VWAP has independent color settings for lines and deviation band backgrounds
• Individual control over calculation extension and visual extension (explained below)
• Useful for tracking multiple institutional accumulation/distribution zones simultaneously
2️⃣ AUTO MODE (Composite Period VWAP)
Automatically calculates VWAP across combined time periods:
• Supported periods: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
• Configurable period span (1-20 periods)
• Always up-to-date, recalculates on each new bar
• Ideal for systematic analysis across consistent timeframes
✅ DUAL EXTENSION SYSTEM (Manual Mode Innovation)
Most VWAP indicators only offer "on/off" for extending calculations. This indicator provides two distinct extension options:
🔹 EXTEND CALCULATION TO CURRENT BAR
When enabled, continues including new bars in the VWAP calculation after the defined end time. The VWAP value updates dynamically as new volume enters the market.
Use case: You anchored VWAP to a major low 3 weeks ago. You want the VWAP to continue evolving with new volume data to track ongoing institutional positioning.
🔹 EXTEND VISUAL LINE ONLY
When enabled (and calculation extension is disabled), projects the "frozen" VWAP value forward as a reference line. The VWAP value remains fixed at what it was at the end time, but the line and deviation bands visually extend to current price.
Use case: You want to see how price is behaving relative to the VWAP that existed at a specific point in time (e.g., "Where is price now vs. the 5-day VWAP that existed at last Friday's close?").
This dual system gives you unprecedented control over whether you're tracking a "living" VWAP that incorporates new data or using historical VWAP levels as static reference points.
✅ CUSTOMIZABLE STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
• Adjustable multiplier (0.1 to 5.0)
• Independent background colors with opacity control for each VWAP
• Dashed band lines for easy visual distinction from main VWAP
• Bands extend when visual extension is enabled, maintaining zone visibility
✅ COMPREHENSIVE LABELING SYSTEM
Each VWAP displays:
• Current VWAP value
• Upper deviation band value (High)
• Lower deviation band value (Low)
• Extension status indicator (Calc Extended / Visual Extended)
• Color-coded for quick identification
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📖 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
🎯 SCENARIO 1: EVENT-ANCHORED VWAP (Manual Mode)
Use case: A stock gaps down 15% on earnings and you want to track where institutions are positioning during the recovery.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. Enable VWAP 1
3. Set Start Time to the earnings gap bar
4. Set End Time to current time (or leave far in future)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation to Current Bar"
6. Watch how price respects the VWAP as a dynamic support/resistance
Interpretation:
• Price above VWAP = buyers in control since the event
• Price testing VWAP from above = potential support
• Volume-weighted standard deviation bands show normal price range
• Price outside bands = potential exhaustion/mean reversion setup
🎯 SCENARIO 2: MULTI-WEEK INSTITUTIONAL ACCUMULATION ZONE (Auto Mode)
Use case: You trade swing setups and want to identify where institutions have been accumulating over the past 3 weeks.
Setup:
1. Switch to Auto Mode
2. Select "Weekly" period type
3. Set Period Span to 3
4. Enable standard deviation bands
Interpretation:
• 3-week composite VWAP shows the true average institutional entry
• Price bouncing off VWAP repeatedly = strong support (institutions defending their average)
• Price breaking below VWAP on high volume = potential distribution
• Deviation bands contracting = consolidation; expanding = volatility increase
🎯 SCENARIO 3: COMPARING MULTIPLE TIME HORIZONS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see short-term vs medium-term vs long-term VWAP alignments.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Last 5 trading days (blue)
3. VWAP 2: Last 10 trading days (orange)
4. VWAP 3: Last 20 trading days (purple)
5. Enable "Extend Calculation" for all
6. Set different background colors for visual separation
Interpretation:
• All VWAPs aligned upward = strong trend across all timeframes
• Price between VWAPs = finding equilibrium between different trader timeframes
• Short-term VWAP crossing long-term VWAP = momentum shift
• Price rejecting at higher-timeframe VWAP = that timeframe's traders defending their average
🎯 SCENARIO 4: HISTORICAL VWAP REFERENCE LEVELS (Manual Mode)
Use case: You want to see where the 1-month VWAP was at each month-end as static reference levels.
Setup:
1. Switch to Manual Mode
2. VWAP 1: Set to last month's start/end dates
3. VWAP 2: Set to 2 months ago start/end dates
4. VWAP 3: Set to 3 months ago start/end dates
5. Disable "Extend Calculation"
6. Enable "Extend Visual Line Only"
Interpretation:
• Each VWAP represents the volume-weighted average for that complete month
• These become static support/resistance levels
• Price returning to old monthly VWAPs = institutional memory/gap fill behavior
• Useful for identifying longer-term value areas

✓ Entry Timing: Wait for pullbacks to VWAP in trending markets
✓ Stop Placement: Use VWAP ± standard deviation as volatility-adjusted stop levels
✓ Breakout Confirmation: Breakouts from consolidation with price reclaiming VWAP = stronger signal
✓ Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Compare short vs long-period VWAPs to gauge momentum alignment
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
• The indicator redraws on each bar to maintain accurate visual representation (uses `barstate.islast`)
• Maximum lookback is limited to 5000 bars for performance optimization
• Time range calculations work across all timeframes but are most effective on intraday to daily charts
• Standard deviation bands assume volume-weighted distribution; extreme events may violate assumptions
• Auto mode always calculates to current bar; use Manual mode for fixed historical periods

DTR & ATR with live zonesThis indicator is designed to help traders gauge the day's volatility in real-time. It compares the current Daily True Range (DTR)—the distance between the session's high and low—to the historical Average True Range (ATR).
The main purpose is to project potential price levels where the market might reach based on its average volatility. These levels (100% ATR, 150%, 200%, etc.) can be used as price targets. For instance, if you're in a long trade, you might consider taking partial or full profits as the price approaches these upper ATR extension levels. The indicator is highly customisable, allowing you to control the appearance of the ATR lines, zones, and labels to fit your charting preferences.
Core Concepts: ATR and DTR
To use this indicator effectively, it's important to understand its two main components:
Average True Range (ATR): This is a classic technical analysis indicator that measures market volatility. It calculates the average range of price movement over a specific period (e.g., 14 days). A higher ATR means the price is, on average, moving more, while a low ATR indicates less volatility. This script uses a higher timeframe ATR (e.g., Daily) to establish a stable volatility baseline for the current trading day.
Daily True Range (DTR): This is simply the difference between the current trading session's highest high and lowest low (session high - session low). It tells you how much the price has actually moved so far today.
The indicator's logic revolves around comparing the live, unfolding DTR to the historical, baseline ATR. An on-screen table conveniently shows this comparison as a percentage, to show how volatile the day has been.
How It Works: The Dynamic & Locked Mechanism
The most clever part of this indicator is how it draws the ATR levels. It operates in two distinct phases during the trading session:
Phase 1: Dynamic Expansion (Before DTR meets ATR)
At the start of the session, the DTR is small. The indicator calculates the remaining range needed to "complete" the 100% ATR level (difference = avg_atr - dtr). It then adds this remaining amount to the session high and subtracts it from the session low. This creates a "floating" 100% ATR range that expands dynamically as the session high or low is extended.
Phase 2: The Lock-in (After DTR meets or exceeds ATR)
Once the day's range (DTR) becomes equal to or greater than the avg_atr, the day has met its "expected" volatility. At this point, the levels lock in place. The indicator intelligently determines the anchor point for the locked range.
Once this primary 100% ATR range is established (either dynamically or locked), the script projects the other levels (150%, 200%, 250%, and 300%) by adding or subtracting multiples of the avg_atr from this base.
How to Use It for Trading
The primary use of this indicator is to set logical, volatility-based price targets.
Setting Profit Targets: If you enter a long position, the upper ATR levels (100%, 150%, 200%) serve as excellent areas to consider taking profits. A move to the 200% or 250% level often signifies an overextended or "exhaustion" move, making it a high-probability exit zone. For short positions, the lower ATR levels serve the same purpose.
Assessing Intraday Momentum: The on-screen table tells you how much of the expected daily range has been used. If it's early in the session and the DTR is only at 30% of the ATR, you can anticipate more significant price movement is likely to come. Conversely, if the DTR is already at 150% of ATR, the bulk of the day's move may already be complete.
Mean Reversion Signals: If the price pushes to an extreme level (e.g., 250% ATR) and shows signs of stalling (e.g., bearish divergence on an oscillator), it could signal a potential reversal or pullback, offering an opportunity for a counter-trend trade.
Key Settings
ATR Length & Smoothing Type: These settings control how the baseline ATR is calculated. The default 14 period and RMA smoothing are standard, but you can adjust them to your preference.
Session Settings: This is crucial. You must set the Market Session and Time Zone to match the primary trading hours of the asset you are analysing (e.g., "0930-1600" for the NYSE session).
Show Lines / Show Labels / Show Zones: The script gives you full control over the visual display. You can toggle each ATR level's lines, labels, and background zones individually to avoid a cluttered chart and focus only on the levels that matter to your strategy.
Renko BandsThis is renko without the candles, just the endpoint plotted as a line with bands around it that represent the brick size. The idea came from thinking about what renko actually gives you once you strip away the visual brick format. At its core, renko is a filtered price series that only updates when price moves a fixed amount, which means it's inherently a trend-following mechanism with built-in noise reduction. By plotting just the renko price level and surrounding it with bands at the brick threshold distances, you get something that works like regular volatility bands while still behaving as a trend indicator.
The center line is the current renko price, which trails actual price based on whichever brick sizing method you've selected. When price moves enough to complete a brick in the renko calculation, the center line jumps to the new brick level. The bands sit at plus and minus one brick size from that center line, showing you exactly how far price needs to move before the next brick would form. This makes the bands function as dynamic breakout levels. When price touches or crosses a band, you know a new renko brick is forming and the trend calculation is updating.
What makes this cool is the dual-purpose nature. You can use it like traditional volatility bands where the outer edges represent boundaries of normal price movement, and breaks beyond those boundaries signal potential trend continuation or exhaustion. But because the underlying calculation is renko rather than standard deviation or ATR around a moving average, the bands also give you direct insight into trend state. When the center line is rising consistently and price stays near the upper band, you're in a clean uptrend. When it's falling and price hugs the lower band, downtrend. When the center line is flat and price is bouncing between both bands, you're ranging.
The three brick sizing methods work the same way as standard renko implementations. Traditional sizing uses a fixed price range, so your bands are always the same absolute distance from the center line. ATR-based sizing calculates brick range from historical volatility, which makes the bands expand and contract based on the ATR measurement you chose at startup. Percentage-based sizing scales the brick size with price level, so the bands naturally widen as price increases and narrow as it decreases. This automatic scaling is particularly useful for instruments that move proportionally rather than in fixed increments.
The visual simplicity compared to full renko bricks makes this more practical for overlay use on your main chart. Instead of trying to read brick patterns in a separate pane or cluttering your price chart with boxes and lines, you get a single smoothed line with two bands that convey the same information about trend state and momentum. The center line shows you the filtered trend direction, the bands show you the threshold levels, and the relationship between price and the bands tells you whether the current move has legs or is stalling out.
From a trend-following perspective, the renko line naturally stays flat during consolidation and only moves when directional momentum is strong enough to complete bricks. This built-in filter removes a lot of the whipsaw that affects moving averages during choppy periods. Traditional moving averages continue updating with every bar regardless of whether meaningful directional movement is happening, which leads to false signals when price is just oscillating. The renko line only responds to sustained moves that meet the brick size threshold, so it tends to stay quiet when price is going nowhere and only signals when something is actually happening.
The bands also serve as natural stop-loss or profit-target references since they represent the distance price needs to move before the trend calculation changes. If you're long and the renko line is rising, you might place stops below the lower band on the theory that if price falls far enough to reverse the renko trend, your thesis is probably invalidated. Conversely, the upper band can mark levels where you'd expect the current brick to complete and potentially see some consolidation or pullback before the next brick forms.
What this really highlights is that renko's value isn't just in the brick visualization, it's in the underlying filtering mechanism. By extracting that mechanism and presenting it in a more traditional band format, you get access to renko's trend-following properties without needing to commit to the brick chart aesthetic or deal with the complications of overlaying brick drawings on a time-based chart. It's renko after all, so you get the trend filtering and directional clarity that makes renko useful, but packaged in a way that integrates more naturally with standard technical analysis workflows.
ZZ RangeHappy Trading!
This is a real-time range detection indicator. Based on previous supply and demand levels, it classifies each new bar as Up, Down, or Range.
New supply and demand levels are typically detected within two bars. The indicator can be used as a filter and supports indicator-on-indicator functionality.

1. Concept
Based on a variation of the Bilson-Gann Algorithm, this indicator calculates local supply and demand levels and determines whether the current price is:
Between those levels → Ranging
Above → Uptrending
Below → Downtrending
Less significant supply and demand levels are filtered out using a user-adjustable intensity setting.
2. Usage and Settings Menu
There are four settings available:
Indicator Timeframe – Display results from higher timeframes on the lower timeframe chart.
Range Detection Rule – Choose whether a bar must be fully inside supply and demand zones to be considered ranging, or if touching the zone is sufficient.
Bar Structure Basis – Select whether wicks or bodies of bars are used to calculate supply and demand levels.
Rule to set S&D – Choose among three rules defining how often new supply and demand levels are calculated. Each rule adjusts the sensitivity and responsiveness of detection.
Alert Signals Available:
Trend Signal 1 = Uptrend, 0 = Ranging, -1 = Downtrend

3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle)This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern.
It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers.
If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down.
In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement.
It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation.
How does it work?
Upside/Green signal
Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
Here the buyers defeated the sellers.
Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks.
I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern.
Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders.
Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Downside/Red signal
Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close.
I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
I call it the -+- or RGR pattern.
Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders.
Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Important Settings
You can enable or disable the 4th candle signal to avoid the noise, but at times I have noticed that the 4th candle gives a very strong signal or I can say that the strong signal falls on the 4th candle. This is mostly a coincidence.
You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example.
Rest are self explanatory.
Pointers
If after taking the trade, the next candle moves in your direction and closes strong bullish or bearish, then move SL to break even and after that you can trail it.
If a upside trade hits SL and immediately a down side trade signal is generated on the next candle then take it. Vice versa is true.
Trades need to be taken on previous 2 candle's body high or low combined and not the wicks.
The most losses a trader takes is on a sideways day and because in our strategy the stop loss is so small that even on a sideways day we'll get out with a little profit or worst break even.
Hold targets for longer targets and don't panic.
If last 3-4 days have been sideways then there is a good probability that day will be trending so we can hold our trade for longer targets. Target to hold the trade for whole day and not exit till the day closes.
In general avoid trading in the middle of the day for index and stocks. Divide the day into 3 parts and avoid the middle.
Use Support/Resistance, 10, 20, 50, 200 EMA/SMA, Gaps, Whole/Round numbers(very imp) for identifying targets.
Trail your SL.
For indexes I would use 5 min and 15 min timeframe.
For commodities and crypto we can use higher timeframe as well. Look for signals during volatile time durations and avoid trading the whole day. Signal usually gives good targets on those times.
If a GRG or RGR pattern appears on a daily timeframe then this is our time to go big.
Minimum Risk to Reward should be 1:2 and for longer targets can be 1:4 to 1:10.
Trade with small lot size. Money management will happen automatically.
With small lot size and correct Risk-Re ward we can be very profitable. Don't trade with big lot size.
Stay in the market for longer and collect points not money.
Very imp - Watch market and learn to generate a market view.
Very imp - Only 4 candles are needed in trading - strong bullish, strong bearish, hammer, inverse hammer and doji.
Go big on bearish days for option traders. Puts are better bought and Calls are better sold.
Cluster of green signals can lead to bigger move on the upside and vice versa for red signals.
Most of this is what I learned from successful traders (from the top 2%) only the indicator is mine.

Total Points Range by exp3rtsThis indicator measures and displays the true intraday movement of a market by approximating tick-level activity using 1-second data aggregation. Instead of only looking at net candle movement, it sums every price change during a session, giving traders a more accurate picture of market effort and volatility.
Total Points Moved (TPM) – Captures the full distance traveled by price, not just the net gain/loss.
Bullish vs. Bearish Movement – Separates upward and downward moves so you can see who dominated the session.
Custom Sessions – Define your own session start/end times and time zone for precise tracking.
End-of-Session Summary – Automatically plots a label at session completion with totals for TPM, bullish, and bearish movement.
Visual Session Highlighting – Background shading makes it easy to see when the chosen session is active.
This tool is useful for:
Understanding the true effort vs. result of price movement
Comparing volatility across sessions
Identifying whether bulls or bears contributed more to market swings
Supporting order flow and tick-based trading strategies
Trend Heat Meter by JaeheePurpose
A compact, overlay gauge that shows where the current close sits within the last 50 bars’ high-low range. It converts price position into a 0–100% “heat” scale and renders a vertical gradient from Frozen (low end) to Overheated (high end).
How it works
• Looks back 50 bars to get highest(high, 50) and lowest(low, 50).
• Normalizes the current close into a percentile: (close − low) / (high − low) * 100.
• Draws a vertical cold→hot bar at the right side of the chart, with a pointer and a fixed-width percentage readout (two decimals) to avoid jitter.
• Labels the extremes as Overheated (top) and Frozen (bottom).
• The script is an overlay and does not modify candles or generate orders.
What makes it different
• Pure position metric: No EMA smoothing or oscillation math. It’s a direct percentile of price inside a rolling range, so interpretation is immediate.
• Jitter-free readout: Fixed-width numeric formatting keeps the value visually stable as price ticks.
• High signal legibility: A single, color-coded “thermometer” avoids multi-plot clutter and works well on any chart style.
• Non-repainting logic: Uses only in-bar values and a rolling 50-bar window; no future bars are referenced.
Inputs
• Use Black Text (White→Black): Switches label/pointer text from white to black for dark or light chart themes.
(Length and visual rows are internally set to 50 and 21 for a consistent footprint.)
Practical use
Trend context
• >70% = price is trading near the upper segment of its recent range → bullish pressure / “hot.”
• <30% = price is trading near the lower segment of its recent range → bearish pressure / “cold.”
Confluence
• Combine with your entry method (structure breaks, OB/FVG, KZ sessions, etc.).
– Prefer long setups when the meter stays >50% and rising.
– Prefer short setups when the meter stays <50% and falling.
Risk management
• Treat extreme reads (>85% or <15%) as potential exhaustion zones inside ranges; wait for confirmation before fading.
Timeframes & markets
• Works on any timeframe and symbol. Large-cap, liquid instruments typically provide the cleanest read.
Notes and limitations
• The meter shows relative position, not momentum or volatility. Pair it with your preferred filters for full trade qualification.
• It does not produce buy/sell signals, alerts, or TP/SL levels.
• Visual table draws only on the last bar for efficiency.
Compatibility
• Pine Script® v6
• Overlay: true

Atlantean Sideways / Range Regime DetectorPurpose
When using trend based indicators, you can skip the false signals when there is a sideways action, protecting you from the false signals.
Flags likely sideways/range phases using three checks:
Weak trend (ADX from DMI)
Price compression (Bollinger Band Width, normalized)
Low volatility (NATR = ATR/Price%)
Logic
isSideways = (ADX < adxThresh) AND (bbNorm < 0.25) AND (NATR < natrMax)
When true: bars + background turn teal and a provisional Range High/Low (rolling rangeWin) is drawn.
Key Inputs
DMI: diLen(22)
Optimized for 15 mins Bitcoin, could change it to 14 for more general approach
ADX: adxSmooth(14), adxThresh(18)
Volatility: lenATR(14), natrMax(1.8)
Visuals: rangeWin(20), bar/range toggles
Quick Tuning
More signals: raise adxThresh to 20–25, raise natrMax to 2.5–4.0, increase BB cutoff by editing bbNorm < 0.25 --> 0.35–0.50.
Smoother range lines: increase rangeWin to 30–40.
Use Cases
Mean reversion inside teal ranges.
Breakout prep when price closes outside the drawn range after teal ends. Could be used as a signal although not suggested.
Filter trend systems: skip trades when sidewaysCond is true. This is the main purpose, for it to be combined with trend based indicators, like Supertrend.
Alert
“Sideways Detected” triggers when isSideways is true.
Script could be expanded upon your requests.

Wyckoff Smart Money Pro [MTF]Wyckoff Smart Money Pro detects trading ranges, phases, and events from the Wyckoff method and confirms them with VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), divergence checks, and a composite “smart money” strength index. It generates optional buy/sell signals only when multiple conditions align (phase, VSA, CO strength, effort vs. result, time/volume filters). The dashboard, POC/Value Area, and MTF backdrop help you manage context and risk in real time.
What this indicator does
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro is a multi-timeframe Wyckoff tool that:
⦁ Finds accumulation/distribution ranges and tracks Phases A–E.
⦁ Labels Wyckoff events (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring/Test, SOS, LPS, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS…) and VSA patterns (No Demand/Supply, Stopping Volume, Upthrust, etc.).
⦁ Computes a Composite Operator (CO) Strength score from price/volume behavior to approximate “smart money” bias.
⦁ Adds divergence, effort vs. result, and a volume profile (POC & 70% value area) inside the detected range.
⦁ Provides buy/sell signals only when a configurable confluence is present (events + VSA + CO + EVR + phase + filters).
⦁ Supports MTF context (with a safe HTF resolver and fallbacks) and an Info Dashboard to summarize the current state.
It is designed to make the Wyckoff workflow visual and rules-based without promising results or automating decisions.
How it works (methods & calculations)
1) Range & Phase model
⦁ A sliding lookback searches for a valid range (recent highest high/lowest low), requiring width within 2–10× ATR(14) and a minimum bar count inside the bounds.
⦁ Once a range is active, the script derives Creek/Ice/Mid/Quartiles and classifies bars into Wyckoff Phases A–E using event recency (barssince) and where price sits relative to the range.
⦁ The background color reflects the current Phase; optional MTF events (from the chosen HTF) tint the background lightly for higher-timeframe context.
2) Wyckoff & VSA event engine
⦁ Events include PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS, PSY, BC, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS, plus minor/multiple variants and Creek/Ice jumps.
⦁ VSA patterns detect No Demand/No Supply, Stopping Volume, Buying/Selling Climax, Upthrust/Pseudo Upthrust, Bag Holding, Shake-Out, Volume Dry-Up, etc., from spread vs. average spread and volume vs. average volume with tunable thresholds.
3) Smart-money (CO) Strength
⦁ CO Strength (0–100) blends: relative volume on up/down bars, professional accumulation/distribution, no-supply/no-demand, stopping volume, Springs/UTADs and Tests, SOS/SOW, price’s position inside the range, and volume-delta vs. its MA.
⦁ Persistent accumCount / distCount counters smooth temporary noise.
4) Divergence & Effort-vs-Result
⦁ Price vs. cum volume-delta divergence highlights weakening pushes.
⦁ EVR flags “High effort / no result” and potential Bullish/Bearish reversals, or “Low effort / high result” moves that are often unsustainable.
5) Volume Profile (inside range)
⦁ A 50-bin profile accumulates volume across the detected range to derive POC, VAH/VAL (70% value area). Lines update as the active range evolves.
6) Multi-Timeframe (MTF) safety
⦁ getHTF() converts your multiplier to a valid Pine timeframe string (e.g., 60, 240, 2D, 1W), and the script falls back to current timeframe values if an HTF request returns na.
⦁ If you enter a Custom HTF, it must be strictly higher than the chart’s timeframe (validated at runtime).
7) Signals & risk model
⦁ Signals are not tied to any single pattern. A buy may require Spring/Test/Shake-out/Creek Jump or SOS plus confirmation (VSA, CO>60, Phase C/D, divergence/EVR context).
⦁ Sell is symmetrical (UTAD/Failed Spring/SOW/Ice Jump + VSA + CO<40 + Phase C/D).
⦁ Minimum confidence is configurable; SL/TP and R:R lines are drawn from range edges or recent bar extremes.
⦁ Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and a minimum volume threshold (relative to average) are available to suppress low-quality contexts.
⦁ Alerts include all major events, divergences, structure/phase changes, and the gated Buy/Sell signals (with a cooldown to reduce alert spam).
Inputs (key ones you’ll actually use)
⦁ Display Settings: toggle ranges, phases, events, VSA, signals, dashboard.
⦁ MTF: Enable HTF, set Multiplier or a Custom HTF (must be higher than current).
⦁ Range Detection: period / min bars / pivot strength.
⦁ VSA: volume sensitivity & climax multiplier.
⦁ Signal Settings: minimum confidence, risk/reward labels.
⦁ Advanced Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and Min Volume Filter (× avg).
⦁ Colors: phase backgrounds, structure colors, and line styling.
How to use (practical flow)
1. Choose a symbol & timeframe you normally analyze (e.g., 5–60m for entries, 4H/D for context).
2. If using MTF, pick a multiplier (e.g., 5×) or a Custom HTF (e.g., 240/4H).
3. Wait for a range to form; watch Phase and CO Strength on the Dashboard.
4. When events (e.g., Spring/Test in Phase C or UTAD in distribution) appear with favorable VSA, CO, EVR, and volume/time filters, consider the signal and review R:R lines.
5. Use POC/VA and Creek/Ice/Mid as structure references; manage risk around the range edge that generated the setup.

Notes, limits & best practices
⦁ This is not a buy/sell system; it’s a context & confirmation tool. Combine with your plan, risk limits, and execution criteria.
⦁ Long, illiquid, or news-driven bars can distort volume/spread logic; filters help but cannot eliminate this.
⦁ For MTF, if an exchange doesn’t support a specific HTF, the script falls back safely to current TF values to avoid na-propagation.
⦁ Dashboard rows/size/position are user-configurable to keep charts uncluttered.
Changelog (what’s new in this version)
⦁ MTF safety & validation (Custom HTF must be above current; graceful fallbacks for request.security() na results).
⦁ Performance caching for close position & up/down bar flags; drawing cleanup to stay under label/line limits.
⦁ Volume Profile upgraded to 50 bins; VA algorithm adjusted accordingly.
⦁ Signal gating with time/day/volume filters and alert cooldown to reduce noise.
⦁ Bug guards for parameter conflicts (e.g., rangeMinBars cannot exceed rangePeriod).

Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).
Inputs and Customization
Range Detection Sensitivity : Controls how strictly ranges are defined.
Strength Score Settings : Adjust weighting of compression, volume, and breakout memory.
Probability Forecasting : Enable/disable directional bias and thresholds.
Gradient & Fill Options : Customize range visualization colors and opacity.
Dashboard Display : Toggle live vs last range, info table size, and position.
Breakout Highlighting : Choose border/zone emphasis on breakout events.
Why Use Advanced Range Analyzer Pro
This indicator provides a data-driven approach to trading consolidation phases, one of the most common yet underutilized market states. By quantifying range strength, mapping probability forecasts, and visually presenting risk zones, it transforms uncertainty into clarity.
Whether you’re trading breakouts, fading ranges, or mapping higher timeframe context, Advanced Range Analyzer Pro delivers a structured, adaptive framework that integrates seamlessly into multiple strategies.

Multi-Session Opening RangesThe Multi-Session Opening Ranges indicator plots the Opening Range (OR) levels for three major trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It displays the high (ORH), low (ORL), and midline of each session's opening range, helping traders identify key price levels for potential breakouts, reversals, or support/resistance zones.
This indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor the appearance and behavior of each session independently.
Features
Multi-Session Support: Visualizes Opening Ranges for Asia, London, and New York sessions, with customizable session times and timezones.
Customizable Lines: Adjust the color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and width of ORH, ORL, and midline for each session.
Offset Control: Set a custom offset (in bars) for lines and labels to position them away from price action for better visibility.
Fill Customization: Choose the fill color for the area between ORH and ORL for each session.
Historical Data Option: Toggle the display of historical OR levels to focus on current session data or analyze past ranges.
Timezone Flexibility: Select from a wide range of timezones to align session times with your trading needs.
Label Customization: Adjust the size of labels (tiny, small, normal, large, huge) for clarity on any chart.
How It Works
The indicator identifies the high and low prices during the user-defined opening range period for each session (default: 5 minutes). It then draws:
ORH (Opening Range High): The highest price during the session's opening range.
ORL (Opening Range Low): The lowest price during the session's opening range.
Midline: The average of ORH and ORL, plotted as a dashed line by default.
Filled Area: A semi-transparent fill between ORH and ORL to highlight the range.
Lines and labels extend until the start of the next session or can be offset by a user-specified number of bars for better chart readability. The indicator supports historical data display for analyzing past session ranges.
Inputs

Timezone: Select the timezone for session calculations (e.g., UTC-4, UTC+1, etc.).
Asia/London/New York Sessions:
Show Session: Enable/disable the session.
Session Time: Define the start and end time for the opening range (e.g., "0930-0935:1234567" for 9:30–9:35 AM, all days).
Asia/London/New York Style:
ORH/ORL/Midline Color: Set the color for each line.
ORH/ORL/Midline Style: Choose solid, dashed, or dotted styles.
ORH/ORL/Midline Width: Adjust line thickness (1–5).
OR Fill Color: Customize the fill color for the OR area.
Lines/Labels Offset: Set the offset (in bars, -50 to 50) to shift lines and labels relative to price action.
General Style:
Label Size: Set the size of ORH and ORL labels (tiny, small, normal, large, huge).
Usage
Add the indicator to your chart.
Configure session times to match your trading instrument and timezone.
Customize colors, line styles, widths, and offsets for each session to suit your chart preferences.
Use the ORH, ORL, and midline levels to identify key price zones for trading strategies, such as breakouts or reversals.
Notes
Ensure session times do not overlap to avoid conflicts in visualization.
Large offsets may place lines/labels outside the visible chart area; adjust as needed.
The indicator is optimized for intraday timeframes but works on any timeframe.
Session Volatility MonitorOverview
Session Volatility Monitor is a versatile volatility indicator tailored for intraday and session-based trading. It computes the average maximum price deviation (either up or down) from the session's opening price over a user-specified number of prior days, providing insights into expected "room to move" in the current session. This helps traders gauge potential exhaustion points, set realistic targets or stops, and identify when a directional move has reached historical norms (flagged as "REACHED" with the exact price level).
Displayed via a customisable table and optional horizontal target lines, it's ideal for markets like forex, crypto, futures, or stocks where session volatility matters. The indicator supports custom sessions with timezone adjustments, making it adaptable to global trading hours (e.g., London, NY, or Asia kill zones). For assets with small tick sizes (e.g., forex pairs at 0.0001), a multiplier scales values for readability (e.g., showing pips as 67.0 instead of 0.00670).
Key Features
Session-Based Calculations:
Defines sessions via presets (e.g., "NY Kill Zone: 07:00-10:00") or custom HHMM-HHMM inputs. (please note that preset sessions are mainly for futures e.g. "Full Day18:01-17:00", but also can be useful for forex and crypto)
Adjustable UTC offset (e.g., -5 for ET) to align with your asset's timezone—ensures accurate detection regardless of TradingView's UTC internal clock.
Tracks the max one-sided move (high - open or open - low) per session, averaging over 1–N previous days (default: 14).
Table Display:
Avg Max Move: Historical average deviation, labeled with days averaged and session time.
Current Move: Real-time displacement from session open (positive for up, negative for down).
Room to Go Up/Down: Remaining distance to reach the average, updating live; appends "REACHED (price)" if hit during the session.
Customisable: Text color, font size (tiny to huge), position (e.g., bottom_left), and value scaling via multiplier/decimal places.
Target Lines:
Optional horizontal lines at "Up Target" (open + avg move) and "Down Target" (open - avg move).
Lines start at the session open bar and extend only through the session duration (e.g., stops at 12:00 for a 07:00-12:00 session)—no further projection post-session.
Fully customisable: Toggle on/off, color, style (solid/dotted/dashed), width, label text/background.
Display Adjustments for Forex/Crypto:
Multiplier: Scales raw values (e.g., set to 10000 for EURUSD to show pips like 45.0 instead of 0.0045).
Decimals: Controls precision (0–5 places) for table values.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Search for "Session Volatility Monitor" in TradingView's indicators and apply to your symbol (e.g., EURUSD for forex, NQ1! for futures, BTCUSD for crypto).
Configure Settings:
Select a session preset or custom range; adjust UTC offset if needed (e.g., +0 for UTC symbols like crypto).
Set "Number of Previous Days to Average" (e.g., 14 for a two-week look back).
For small-tick assets, set Multiplier (e.g., 100 for crypto points, 10000 for forex pips) and Decimals (e.g., 0 for whole numbers).
Customise table position/size/color and target lines for visibility.
Interpret Outputs:
Monitor the table for "room to go"—if Room Up is low/negative, upside might be limited; "REACHED" signals a potential reversal or exhaustion.
Use target lines as visual S/R levels; they auto-start at session open and halt at close.
Combine with price action, volume, or other indicators for entries (e.g., buy near down target if bullish bias).
Example Scenario:
Forex (GBPUSD, 1-min): Set session to "London Kill Zone: 02:00-05:00" (UTC+0), multiplier=10000. Table shows pips; lines mark expected highs/lows.
Limitations and Tips
Historical Data Limits: Averages are capped by TradingView's bar history (e.g., ~14 days on 1-min for free plans). Upgrade for deeper look backs or use higher timeframes.
Session Accuracy: Ensure UTC offset matches your chart—test with the "In Session" plot (enable in Style tab, zoom y-axis if columns are tiny).
No Alerts/Signals: Purely informational; add custom alerts via TradingView for "REACHED" conditions.
Performance: On very low timeframes with long sessions, lines might consume line limits (max ~50)—toggle off if needed.
Tips: For crypto/forex, experiment with multiplier to match your preferred units (e.g., points vs. decimals). Hide debug plot in Style tab for clean charts. If "REACHED" doesn't trigger, verify on historical data where moves exceed averages.
