Enhanced BTC Order Block IndicatorThe script you provided is an "Enhanced BTC Order Block Indicator" written in Pine Script v5 for TradingView. It is designed to identify and visually mark Order Blocks (OBs) on a Bitcoin (BTC) price chart, specifically tailored for a high-frequency scalping strategy on the 5-minute (M5) timeframe. Order Blocks are key price zones where institutional traders are likely to have placed significant buy or sell orders, making them high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. The script incorporates customizable filters, visual indicators, and alert functionality to assist traders in executing the strategy outlined earlier.
Key Features and Functionality
Purpose:
The indicator detects bullish Order Blocks (buy zones) and bearish Order Blocks (sell zones) based on a predefined percentage price movement (default 0.5–1%) and volume confirmation.
It marks these zones on the chart with colored boxes and provides alerts when an OB is detected.
User-Configurable Inputs:
Price Move Range: minMovePercent (default 0.5%) and maxMovePercent (default 1.0%) define the acceptable price movement range for identifying OBs.
Volume Threshold: volumeThreshold (default 1.5x average volume) ensures OB detection is backed by significant trading activity.
Lookback Period: lookback (default 10 candles) determines how many previous candles are analyzed to find the last candle before a strong move.
Wick/Body Option: useWick (default false) allows users to choose whether the OB zone is based on the candle’s wick or body.
Colors: bullishOBColor (default green) and bearishOBColor (default red) set the visual appearance of OB boxes.
Box Extension: boxExtension (default 100 bars) controls how far the OB box extends to the right on the chart.
RSI Filter: useRSI (default true) enables an RSI filter, with rsiLength (default 14), rsiBullishThreshold (default 50), and rsiBearishThreshold (default 50) for trend confirmation.
M15 Support/Resistance: useSR (default true) and srLookback (default 20) integrate M15 timeframe swing highs and lows for additional OB validation.
Core Logic:
Bullish OB Detection: Identifies a strong upward move (0.5–1%) with volume above the threshold. It then looks back to the last bearish candle before the move to define the OB zone. RSI > 50 and proximity to M15 support/resistance (optional) enhance confirmation.
Bearish OB Detection: Identifies a strong downward move (0.5–1%) with volume confirmation, tracing back to the last bullish candle. RSI < 50 and M15 resistance proximity (optional) add validation.
The OB zone is drawn as a rectangle from the high to low of the identified candle, extended rightward.
Visual Output:
Boxes: Uses box.new to draw OB zones, with left set to the previous bar (bar_index ), right extended by boxExtension, top and bottom defined by the OB’s high and low prices. Each box includes a text label ("Bullish OB" or "Bearish OB") and is semi-transparent.
Colors distinguish between bullish (green) and bearish (red) OBs.
Alerts:
Global alertcondition definitions trigger notifications for "Bullish OB Detected" and "Bearish OB Detected" when the respective conditions are met, displaying the current close price in the message.
Helper Functions:
f_priceChangePercent: Calculates the percentage price change between open and close prices.
isNearSR: Checks if the price is within 0.2% of M15 swing highs or lows for support/resistance confluence.
How It Works
The script runs on each candle, evaluating the current price action against the user-defined criteria.
When a bullish or bearish move is detected (meeting the percentage, volume, RSI, and S/R conditions), it identifies the preceding candle to define the OB zone.
The OB is then visualized on the chart, and an alert is triggered if configured in TradingView.
Use Case
This indicator is tailored for your BTC scalping strategy, where trades last 1–15 minutes targeting 0.3–0.5% gains. It helps traders spot institutional order zones on the M5 chart, confirmed by secondary M1 analysis, and integrates with your use of EMAs, RSI, and volume. The customizable settings allow adaptation to varying market conditions or personal preferences.
Limitations
The M15 S/R detection is simplified (using swing highs/lows), which may not always align perfectly with manual support/resistance levels.
Alerts depend on TradingView’s alert system and require manual setup.
Performance may vary with high volatility or low-volume periods, necessitating parameter adjustments.

CANX Supply and Demand - Order Block - Candle Identification© CanxStixTrader
CANX Supply and Demand - Order Block - Candle Identification
Description
Designed as a visual aid, to highlight the last up or down candle before a fractal break. We can assume these candles where the point of origin that generated enough strength to break recent structure. By using them as reference points, traders are expected to follow their own set of rules and mark higher probability supply and demand zones in the area.
How to use:
Expect price to retest in these areas, and if they fail, a potential retest in the opposite direction . The greater the number of times a zone is tested, the more likely it is to break. A fresh zone that has not yet been tested will have a higher probability of a bounce.
Fractal period and candle break type can be customized in the settings. This works on all time frames.
**The indicator is set to my optimal settings for the 5 minute or 15 minute time frame** Please mess around to find your comfort zone and back test the results.
The lower the period number the more noise this creates on the market. The higher the number the less noise and more potential for a stronger zone.
Keep it simple
OHLCVRangeXThe OHLCVRange library provides modular range-building utilities for Pine Script v6 based on custom conditions like time, price, volatility, volume, and pattern detection. Each function updates a persistent range (OHLCVRange) passed in from the calling script, based on live streaming candles.
This library is designed to support dynamic windowing over incoming OHLCV bars, with all persistent state handled externally (in the indicator or strategy). The library merely acts as a filter and updater, appending or clearing candles according to custom logic.
📦
export type OHLCVRange
OHLCV.OHLCV candles // Sliding window of candles
The OHLCVRange is a simple container holding an array of OHLCV.OHLCV structures.
This structure should be declared in the indicator using var to ensure persistence across candles.
🧩 Range Updater Functions
Each function follows this pattern:
export updateXxxRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, ...)
r is the range to update.
current is the latest OHLCV candle (typically from your indicator).
Additional parameters control the behavior of the range filter.
🔁 Function List
1. Fixed Lookback Range
export updateFixedRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, int barsBack)
Keeps only the last barsBack candles.
Sliding window based purely on number of bars.
2. Session Time Range
export updateSessionRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, int minuteStart, int minuteEnd)
Keeps candles within the [minuteStart, minuteEnd) intraday session.
Clears the range once out of session bounds.
3. Price Zone Range
export updatePriceZoneRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, float minP, float maxP)
Retains candles within the vertical price zone .
Clears when a candle exits the zone.
4. Consolidation Range
export updateConsolidationRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, float thresh)
Stores candles as long as the candle range (high - low) is less than or equal to thresh.
Clears on volatility breakout.
5. Volume Spike Range
export updateVolumeSpikeRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, float avgVol, float mult, int surround)
Triggers a new range when a volume spike ≥ avgVol * mult occurs.
Adds candles around the spike (total surround * 2 + 1).
Can be used to zoom in around anomalies.
6. Engulfing Pattern Range
export updateEngulfingRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, int windowAround)
Detects bullish or bearish engulfing candles.
Stores 2 * windowAround + 1 candles centered around the pattern.
Clears if no valid engulfing pattern is found.
7. HTF-Aligned Range
export updateHTFAlignedRange(OHLCVRange r, OHLCV.OHLCV current, OHLCV.OHLCV prevHtf)
Used when aligning lower timeframe candles to higher timeframe bars.
Clears and restarts the range on HTF bar transition (compare prevHtf.bar_index with current).
Requires external management of HTF candle state.
💡 Usage Notes
All OHLCVRange instances should be declared as var in the indicator to preserve state:
var OHLCVRange sessionRange = OHLCVRange.new()
sessionRange := OHLCVRange.updateSessionRange(sessionRange, current, 540, 900)
All OHLCV data should come from the OHLCVData library (v15 or later):
import userId/OHLCVData/15 as OHLCV
OHLCV.OHLCV current = OHLCV.getCurrentChartOHLCV()
This library does not use var internally to enforce clean separation of logic and persistence.
📅 Planned Enhancements
Fib zone ranges: capture candles within custom Fibonacci levels.
Custom event ranges: combine multiple filters (e.g., pattern + volume spike).
Trend-based ranges: windowing based on moving average or trend breaks.
Liquidity Grab Strategy (Volume Trap)🧠 Strategy Logic:
Liquidity Grab Detection:
The script looks for a sharp drop in price (bearish engulfing or breakdown candle).
However, volume remains flat (within 5% of the 20-period moving average), suggesting the move is manipulated, not genuine.
Fair Value Gap Confirmation (FVG):
It confirms that a Fair Value Gap exists — a gap between recent candle bodies that price is likely to retrace into.
This gap represents a high-probability entry zone.
Trade Setup:
A limit BUY order is placed at the base of the FVG.
Stop Loss (SL) is placed below the gap.
Take Profit (TP) is placed at the most recent swing high.
📈 How to Use It:
Add the strategy to your TradingView chart (1–5 min or 15 min works well for intraday setups).
Look for green BUY labels and plotted lines:
💚 Green = Entry price
🔴 Red = Stop loss
🔵 Blue = Take profit
The script will automatically simulate entries when conditions are met and exit either at TP or SL.

Enhanced Cycle IndicatorEnhanced Cycle Indicator Guide
DISCLAIMER
"This PineScript indicator evolved from a foundational algorithm designed to visualize cycle-based center average differentials. The original concept has been significantly enhanced and optimized through collaborative refinement with AI, resulting in improved functionality, performance, and visualization capabilities while maintaining the core mathematical principles of the original design"
Overview
The Enhanced Cycle Indicator is designed to identify market cycles with minimal lag while ensuring the cycle lows and highs correspond closely with actual price bottoms and tops. This indicator transforms price data into observable cycles that help you identify when a market is likely to change direction.
Core Principles
Cycle Detection: Identifies natural market rhythms using multiple timeframes
Dynamic Adaptation: Adjusts to changing market conditions for consistent performance
Precise Signals: Provides clear entry and exit points aligned with actual market turns
Reduced Lag: Uses advanced calculations to minimize delay in cycle identification
How To Use
1. Main Cycle Interpretation
Green Histogram Bars: Bullish cycle phase (upward momentum)
Red Histogram Bars: Bearish cycle phase (downward momentum)
Cycle Extremes: When the histogram reaches extreme values (+80/-80), the market is likely approaching a turning point
Zero Line: Crossovers often indicate a shift in the underlying market direction
2. Trading Signals
Green Triangle Up (bottom of chart): Strong bullish signal - ideal for entries or covering shorts
Red Triangle Down (top of chart): Strong bearish signal - ideal for exits or short entries
Diamond Shapes: Indicate divergence between price and cycle - early warning of potential reversals
Small Circles: Minor cycle turning points - useful for fine-tuning entries/exits
3. Optimal Signal Conditions
Bullish Signals Work Best When:
The cycle is deeply oversold (below -60)
RSI is below 40 or turning up
Price is near a significant low
Multiple confirmation bars have occurred
Bearish Signals Work Best When:
The cycle is heavily overbought (above +60)
RSI is above 60 or turning down
Price is near a significant high
Multiple confirmation bars have occurred
4. Parameter Adjustments
For Shorter Timeframes: Reduce cycle periods and smoothing factor for faster response
For Daily/Weekly Charts: Increase cycle periods and smoothing for smoother signals
For Volatile Markets: Reduce cycle responsiveness to filter noise
For Trending Markets: Increase signal confirmation requirement to avoid false signals
Recommended Settings
Default (All-Purpose)

Advanced Features
Adaptive Period
When enabled, the indicator automatically adjusts cycle periods based on recent price volatility. This is particularly useful in markets that alternate between trending and ranging behaviors.
Momentum Filter
Enhances cycle signals by incorporating price momentum, making signals more responsive during strong trends and less prone to whipsaws during consolidations.
RSI Filter
Adds an additional confirmation layer using RSI, helping to filter out lower-quality signals and improve overall accuracy.
Divergence Detection
Identifies situations where price makes a new high/low but the cycle doesn't confirm, often preceding significant market reversals.
Best Practices
Use the indicator in conjunction with support/resistance levels
Look for signal clusters across multiple timeframes
Reduce position size when signals appear far from cycle extremes
Pay special attention to signals that coincide with divergences
Customize cycle periods to match the natural rhythm of your traded instrument
Troubleshooting
Too Many Signals: Increase signal confirmation bars or reduce cycle responsiveness
Missing Major Turns: Decrease smoothing factor or increase cycle responsiveness
Signals Too Late: Decrease cycle periods and smoothing factor
False Signals: Enable RSI filter and increase signal confirmation requirement
Trend Revisit Pullback Strategy (Final Working Box)📈 Trend Revisit Pullback Strategy
This TradingView Pine Script strategy identifies strong trend breakouts and accounts for natural pullbacks by:
Entering long or short on strong 1-bar breakouts
Allowing for pullback averaging if price retraces after entry
Expecting a revisit to the original entry price within 15 bars
Automatically exiting at break-even or using a custom TP/SL
Drawing a visual trade zone (entry → SL → revisit window) for easy reference
Optional labels and color-coded boxes to track each trade’s lifecycle
Ideal for trend traders who anticipate a pullback and prefer to manage risk with break-even exits or reward-to-risk parameters.
Trailing Cumulative Volume DeltaShort Description:
A dynamic volume delta indicator that calculates a trailing sum of net buying/selling pressure over a user-defined number of recent bars, offering a more adaptive view of order flow momentum compared to fixed-anchor CVD.
Overview:
The Trailing Cumulative Volume Delta (TCVD) indicator provides a powerful way to analyze market sentiment by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volume. Unlike traditional Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicators that typically reset at fixed intervals (e.g., daily, weekly), the TCVD calculates a rolling sum of volume delta over a specified number of recent bars. This "trailing" approach offers a more fluid and responsive measure of recent order flow dynamics.
How it Works:
Per-Bar Delta Calculation: For each bar on your chart, the indicator first calculates the net Volume Delta. This is done by looking at a finer, user-configurable Lower Timeframe (e.g., 1-minute data for a 15-minute chart bar) to determine the aggressive buying vs. selling volume within that bar.
Trailing Sum: The indicator then sums these individual per-bar net deltas over a user-defined Trailing Bars lookback period. For example, if "Trailing Bars" is set to 20, the TCVD value will represent the cumulative net delta of the last 20 bars.
Visualization:
The TCVD is plotted in a "MACD-Columns-Style" in a separate pane.
Teal: When the TCVD value is increasing (suggesting growing net buying pressure or diminishing net selling pressure over the trailing period).
Red: When the TCVD value is decreasing (suggesting growing net selling pressure or diminishing net buying pressure over the trailing period).
White: When it is returning to the mean.
How to Interpret and Use TCVD:
Trend Strength & Momentum:
A rising TCVD suggests that, on average over the trailing period, buying pressure is dominant or strengthening. This can confirm bullish price action or indicate underlying strength.
A falling TCVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant or strengthening, potentially confirming bearish price action or indicating weakness.
Divergences:
Unlike other Divergences, the CVD has two different types of Divergences: a) Absorption and b) Exhaustion. You only want to trade the Absorption pattern.
Zero Line Crossovers:
TCVD crossing above the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive buying pressure over the lookback period.
TCVD crossing below the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive selling pressure.
Confirmation: Use TCVD to confirm breakouts or breakdowns. A price breakout accompanied by a strongly rising TCVD is generally more reliable.
Key Settings:
Trailing Bars: (Default: 10)
Determines the number of recent bars to include in the cumulative delta sum.
Shorter periods make the TCVD more responsive to immediate changes.
Longer periods provide a smoother, longer-term view of order flow.
Use custom timeframe: (Checkbox, Default: false)
Allows you to override the automatic selection of the lower timeframe for delta calculation.
Timeframe for Delta Calculation: (Default: "1" - 1 minute)
Specifies the lower timeframe data used to calculate the volume delta for each individual chart bar.
Choosing a very fine timeframe (e.g., seconds) can provide high precision but may be limited by data availability or processing load.
If "Use custom timeframe" is unchecked, the script attempts to choose a sensible default based on your chart's timeframe (e.g., "1S" for second charts, "1" for intraday, "5" for daily, "60" for weekly+).
Examples:
Confirming Breakout Strength:
Price breaks out above a significant resistance level.
If the TCVD is also sharply rising and has perhaps crossed above its zero line, it provides confirmation that strong buying interest is fueling the breakout, increasing confidence in its validity.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires reliable volume data from your broker/data feed to function correctly. If your chart does not have volume, or if the volume data is unreliable, the TCVD will not be accurate.
Like all indicators, TCVD is best used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, in conjunction with price action analysis and other indicators or tools.
Experiment with the Trailing Bars and Timeframe for Delta Calculation settings to find what best suits your trading style, the asset you are analyzing, and the chart timeframe you are using.

Multi Moving Average with CustomizationCore Functionality
The indicator allows you to display up to 5 different moving averages on your chart simultaneously.
Each moving average can be fully customized with its own settings.
You can choose between
1. Simple Moving Average (SMA),
2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
3. Weighted Moving Average (WMA) types
Multi-Timeframe Support
One standout feature is the ability to display higher timeframe moving averages on lower timeframe charts.
For example, you can show a 200 EMA from the daily chart while viewing a 15-minute chart.
Advanced Visualization Features
The indicator includes several visualization enhancements:
1. MA Cloud - Creates a filled area between any two selected moving averages. The cloud automatically changes color based on which MA is on top - typically green when the faster MA is above (bullish) and red when below (bearish).
2. Golden/Death Cross Detection - Automatically detects and marks important MA crossover events:
* Golden Cross: When a shorter-term MA crosses above a longer-term MA (bullish signal)
* Death Cross: When a shorter-term MA crosses below a longer-term MA (bearish signal)
3. Trend Background - Colors the entire chart background based on whether price is above or below a specified MA, giving a clear visual indicator of the overall trend.
Alert System
The indicator can generate alerts when price crosses above or below any selected moving average. This feature is useful for automated trading signals or notifications, and can be configured to trigger once per bar.
Flexible Architecture
The code uses several programming techniques to maximize flexibility:
* Switch statements for selecting MA types and cloud values
* Conditional logic throughout the code
* Function abstraction for calculating MAs and handling multi-timeframe display
* String identifiers to select which MAs to use for cloud visualization
Unique Technical Aspects
1. The multi-timeframe plotting function solves the common problem of higher timeframe MAs looking distorted on lower timeframe charts.
2. The cloud feature uses string identifiers to select which MAs to use, allowing for any combination.
3. The indicator employs smart conditional logic to handle complex decision trees efficiently.
4. Every visual aspect (colors, line widths, display conditions) is customizable through the settings.
This indicator combines multiple technical analysis tools into a single, highly configurable package that can adapt to different trading styles and timeframes.
Its ability to correctly display higher timeframe MAs on lower timeframe charts makes it particularly valuable for traders who analyze multiple timeframes simultaneously.

Feel free to adjust ATR multipliers and cycle-zone size based on the instrument’s typical range.
⸻
3. Reading the Signals
• Long Entry:
• Trigger: price crosses above VWAP
• You’ll see a green “Buy” tag at the low of the signal bar, plus an “ENTRY (Long)” label at the close.
• Stop is plotted as a red dashed line below (ATR × 1.5), and TP1/TP2 as teal and purple lines above.
• Short Entry:
• Trigger: price crosses below VWAP
• A red “Sell” tag appears at the high, with “ENTRY (Short)” at the close.
• Stop is the green line above; TP1/TP2 are dashed teal/purple lines below.
⸻
4. Full Cycle Zone
Whenever a new pivot low is detected (using your Pivot Lookback), the script deletes the old box and draws a shaded yellow rectangle from that low up by “Full Cycle Range Points.”
• Use this to visualize the “maximum expected swing” from your pivot.
• You can quickly see whether price is still traveling within a normal cycle or has overstretched.
⸻
5. Round-Number Levels
With Show Round Number Levels enabled, you’ll always get horizontal dotted lines at the nearest multiples of your “Round Number Step” (e.g. every 500 points).
• These often act as psychological support/resistance.
• Handy to see confluence with VWAP or cycle-zone edges.
⸻
6. Tips & Best-Practices
• Timeframes: Apply on any intraday chart (5 min, 15 min, H1…), but match your ATR length & cycle-points to the timeframe’s typical range.
• Backtest first: Use the Strategy Tester tab to review performance, tweak ATR multipliers or cycle size, then optimize.
• Combine with context: Don’t trade VWAP breakouts blindly—look for confluence (e.g. support/resistance zones, higher-timeframe trend).
• Label clutter: If too many labels build up, you can toggle Show TP/SL Labels off and rely just on the lines.
⸻
That’s it! Once you’ve added it to your chart and dialed in the inputs, your entries, exits, cycle ranges, and key levels will all be plotted automatically. Feel free to experiment with the ATR multipliers and cycle-zone size until it fits your instrument’s personality. Happy trading!
JPMorgan G7 Volatility IndexThe JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index: Scientific Analysis and Professional Applications
Introduction
The JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index (G7VOL) represents a sophisticated metric for monitoring currency market volatility across major developed economies. This indicator functions as an approximation of JPMorgan's proprietary volatility indices, providing traders and investors with a normalized measurement of cross-currency volatility conditions (Clark, 2019).
Theoretical Foundation
Currency volatility is fundamentally defined as "the statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index" (Hull, 2018, p.127). In the context of G7 currencies, this volatility measurement becomes particularly significant due to the economic importance of these nations, which collectively represent more than 50% of global nominal GDP (IMF, 2022).
According to Menkhoff et al. (2012, p.685), "currency volatility serves as a global risk factor that affects expected returns across different asset classes." This finding underscores the importance of monitoring G7 currency volatility as a proxy for global financial conditions.
Methodology
The G7VOL indicator employs a multi-step calculation process:
Individual volatility calculation for seven major currency pairs using standard deviation normalized by price (Lo, 2002)
- Weighted-average combination of these volatilities to form a composite index
- Normalization against historical bands to create a standardized scale
- Visual representation through dynamic coloring that reflects current market conditions
The mathematical foundation follows the volatility calculation methodology proposed by Bollerslev et al. (2018):
Volatility = σ(returns) / price × 100
Where σ represents standard deviation calculated over a specified timeframe, typically 20 periods as recommended by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS, 2020).
Professional Applications
Professional traders and institutional investors employ the G7VOL indicator in several key ways:
1. Risk Management Signaling
According to research by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016), elevated currency volatility often precedes broader market stress. When the G7VOL breaches its high volatility threshold (typically 1.5 times the 100-period average), portfolio managers frequently reduce risk exposure across asset classes. As noted by Borio (2019, p.17), "currency volatility spikes have historically preceded equity market corrections by 2-7 trading days."
2. Counter-Cyclical Investment Strategy
Low G7 volatility periods (readings below the lower band) tend to coincide with what Shin (2017) describes as "risk-on" environments. Professional investors often use these signals to increase allocations to higher-beta assets and emerging markets. Campbell et al. (2021) found that G7 volatility in the lowest quintile historically preceded emerging market outperformance by an average of 3.7% over subsequent quarters.
3. Regime Identification
The normalized volatility framework enables identification of distinct market regimes:
- Readings above 1.0: Crisis/high volatility regime
- Readings between -0.5 and 0.5: Normal volatility regime
- Readings below -1.0: Unusually calm markets
According to Rey (2015), these regimes have significant implications for global monetary policy transmission mechanisms and cross-border capital flows.
Interpretation and Trading Applications
G7 currency volatility serves as a barometer for global financial conditions due to these currencies' centrality in international trade and reserve status. As noted by Gagnon and Ihrig (2021, p.423), "G7 currency volatility captures both trade-related uncertainty and broader financial market risk appetites."
Professional traders apply this indicator in multiple contexts:
- Leading indicator: Research from the Federal Reserve Board (Powell, 2020) suggests G7 volatility often leads VIX movements by 1-3 days, providing advance warning of broader market volatility.
- Correlation shifts: During periods of elevated G7 volatility, cross-asset correlations typically increase what Brunnermeier and Pedersen (2009) term "correlation breakdown during stress periods." This phenomenon informs portfolio diversification strategies.
- Carry trade timing: Currency carry strategies perform best during low volatility regimes as documented by Lustig et al. (2011). The G7VOL indicator provides objective thresholds for initiating or exiting such positions.

Prev-Day High-Low Box 09:30-15:30This indicator plots a visual range box for the previous day's regular trading session, based specifically on 09:30 AM to 3:30 PM market hours (Eastern Time by default).
Features:
Automatically detects each new trading day
Draws a box from the previous day’s high to low
Box extends into the current session for a set number of bars (default: 160)
Labels mark the previous high and previous low individually
Clean and minimal — only one box and label set is drawn at a time
Works on intraday timeframes (1min, 5min, 15min, etc.)
Use it to:
Identify zones of interest from the last session
Watch for breakouts, reversals, or mean reversion setups
Combine with VWAP, moving averages, or price action for added context
This tool is handy for day traders and scalpers who want to map out the structure of prior sessions during live trading hours.
Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.
