Price Action Analyst [OmegaTools]Price Action Analyst (PAA) is an advanced trading tool designed to assist traders in identifying key price action structures such as order blocks, market structure shifts, liquidity grabs, and imbalances. With its fully customizable settings, the script offers both novice and experienced traders insights into potential market movements by visually highlighting premium/discount zones, breakout signals, and significant price levels.
This script utilizes complex logic to determine significant price action patterns and provides dynamic tools to spot strong market trends, liquidity pools, and imbalances across different timeframes. It also integrates an internal backtesting function to evaluate win rates based on price interactions with supply and demand zones.
The script combines multiple analysis techniques, including market structure shifts, order block detection, fair value gaps (FVG), and ICT bias detection, to provide a comprehensive and holistic market view.
Key Features:
Order Block Detection: Automatically detects order blocks based on price action and strength analysis, highlighting potential support/resistance zones.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks internal and external market structure changes with gradient color-coded visuals.
Liquidity Grabs & Breakouts: Detects potential liquidity grab and breakout areas with volume confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on historical price action and threshold calculations.
ICT Bias: Integrates ICT bias analysis, dynamically adjusting based on higher-timeframe analysis.
Supply and Demand Zones: Highlights supply and demand zones using customizable colors and thresholds, adjusting dynamically based on market conditions.
Trend Lines: Automatically draws trend lines based on significant price pivots, extending them dynamically over time.
Backtesting: Internal backtesting engine to calculate the win rate of signals generated within supply and demand zones.
Percentile-Based Pricing: Plots key percentile price levels to visualize premium, fair, and discount pricing zones.
High Customizability: Offers extensive user input options for adjusting zone detection, color schemes, and structure analysis.
User Guide:
Order Blocks: Order blocks are significant support or resistance zones where strong buyers or sellers previously entered the market. These zones are detected based on pivot points and engulfing price action. The strength of each block is determined by momentum, volume, and liquidity confirmations.
Demand Zones: Displayed in shades of blue based on their strength. The darker the color, the stronger the zone.
Supply Zones: Displayed in shades of red based on their strength. These zones highlight potential resistance areas.
The zones will dynamically extend as long as they remain valid. Users can set a maximum number of order blocks to be displayed.
Market Structure: Market structure is classified into internal and external shifts. A bullish or bearish market structure break (MSB) occurs when the price moves past a previous high or low. This script tracks these breaks and plots them using a gradient color scheme:
Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:
Load the script onto your chart. The default settings are optimized for identifying key price action zones and structure on intraday charts of liquid assets.
Customize the settings according to your strategy. For example, adjust the "Max Orderblocks" and "Strength Filter" to focus on more significant price action areas.
Monitor the liquidity grabs, breakouts, and FVGs for potential trade opportunities.
Use the bias and market structure analysis to align your trades with the prevailing market trend.
Refer to the backtesting win rates to evaluate the effectiveness of the zones in your trading.

Macro Range HighlighterThis Pine Script indicator creates visual boxes that highlight specific time-based price ranges throughout the trading day, operating in New York Eastern Time. It offers two distinct modes: a standard hourly range mode and a classic ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Macro mode.
Two Operating Modes
Mode 1: Standard Hourly 50-09 Ranges (Default)
This mode identifies and highlights the price range during the final 10 minutes of each hour (xx:50) through the first 9 minutes of the next hour (xx:09).
Examples of captured ranges:
08:50 - 09:09
09:50 - 10:09
10:50 - 11:09
11:50 - 12:09
12:50 - 13:09
13:50 - 14:09
14:50 - 15:09
And continues for each hour...
Excluded Time Periods:
The indicator excludes certain periods that cross into or occur during market close and the daily reset:
02:50 - 03:09 (excluded to avoid interference with overnight session)
15:50 - 18:09 (excluded to avoid end-of-regular-hours and the 18:00 ET trading day reset)
This means you will NOT see boxes during the 16:00 or 17:00 hours, as these fall within the excluded window.
Mode 2: Classic ICT Macro Times
When enabled, this mode shows ONLY four specific time windows that are significant in ICT methodology:
02:33 - 02:59 (London Midnight Macro)
04:03 - 04:29 (London Open Macro)
13:10 - 13:39 (New York Lunch Macro)
15:15 - 15:44 (New York Close Macro)
When this mode is active, all standard hourly ranges are disabled, including the 02:50-03:09 range.
Green Line - Open Price
Represents the open price of the first candle when the range begins
This line is static once set - it shows where price opened when entering the time window
Extends horizontally across the entire duration of the box
Example: If the range starts at 08:50 and that candle opens at 18,500, the green line will be drawn at 18,500
Blue Line - Evolving Midpoint
Represents the dynamic midpoint between the range high and range low
This line continuously recalculates as new highs or lows are made within the time window
Calculation: Midpoint = (Range High + Range Low) / 2
Evolution example:
At 08:50, range is 18,480 (low) to 18,520 (high), midpoint = 18,500
At 08:55, price makes new high of 18,540, midpoint updates to 18,510
At 09:02, price makes new low of 18,470, midpoint updates to 18,505
The line visually adjusts up and down as the range expands
Extension: The line extends horizontally from the start of the range to the current bar (or end of range)
This gives traders a visual reference for the "fair value" or equilibrium point of the range
Red Line - Close Price
Represents the close price of the most recent candle within the time window
This line updates continuously with each new bar's close price
Extends horizontally across the range
When the range completes (exits the time window), it shows the final close price of the last bar in the range
Example: As price moves from 08:50 to 09:09, the red line will track the close of each candle: 18,505 → 18,510 → 18,508 → 18,515, etc.
This indicator provides a sophisticated visual framework for analyzing specific time-based price behavior. The evolving midpoint (blue line and optional yellow plot) is particularly powerful because it gives you real-time feedback on where the "fair value" of the range is as it develops, allowing you to make informed decisions about whether price is extended or returning to equilibrium. The three-line system (open/mid/close) creates a complete picture of price action within each critical time window, whether you're using standard hourly analysis or focusing on ICT's specific macro times.

Opening Range Gaps [TakingProphets]What is an Opening Range Gap (ORG)?
In ICT, the Opening Range Gap is defined as the price difference between the previous session’s close (e.g., 4:00 PM EST in U.S. indices) and the current day’s open (9:30 AM EST).
That gap is a liquidity void—an area where no trading occurred during regular hours.
Why ICT Traders Care About ORG
Liquidity Void (Gap Fill Logic)
-Because the gap is an untraded area, it naturally acts as a draw on liquidity.
-Price often seeks to rebalance by retracing into or fully filling this void.
Premium/Discount Sensitivity
-Once the ORG is defined, ICT treats it as a mini dealing range.
-Above EQ (Consequent Encroachment) = algorithmic premium (sell-sensitive).
-Below EQ = algorithmic discount (buy-sensitive).
-Price reaction at these levels gives a precise read on institutional intent intraday.
Support/Resistance from ORG
-If the session opens above prior close, the gap often acts as support until violated.
-If the session opens below prior close, the gap often acts as resistance until reclaimed.
Key ICT Concepts Anchored to ORG
Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint of the gap. The algo is highly sensitive to CE as a decision point: reject → continuation; reclaim → reversal.
Draw on Liquidity (DoL): Price is algorithmically “pulled” toward gap fills, CE, or the opposite side of the ORG.
Order Flow Confirmation: If price ignores the gap and runs away from it, this signals strong institutional order flow in that direction.
Confluence with Other Tools: FVGs, OBs, and HTF PD arrays often overlap with ORG levels, strengthening setups.
Practical Application for Traders
Bias Formation:
Use ORG EQ as a line in the sand for intraday bias.
If price trades below ORG EQ after the open → look for short setups into the prior day’s low or external liquidity.
If price trades above ORG EQ → favor longs into highs/liquidity pools.
Execution Framework:
Wait for liquidity raids or market structure shifts at ORG edges (.00, .25, .50, .75).
Target: EQ, opposite quarter, or full gap fill.
Precision Reads:
ORG lines let traders anticipate where algorithms are likely to respond, providing mechanical invalidation and clear targets without clutter.
AMD [TakingProphets]Overview
The AMD indicator is a real-time, high-resolution tool designed for traders following ICT methodology who want a clear visualization of higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their lower timeframe charts.
It overlays current HTF structure, including open, high, low, and close projections, allowing traders to align intraday decisions with institutional price delivery — all without switching timeframes.
Concept & Background
In ICT concepts, market behavior often follows a pattern of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. Understanding these phases is essential for anticipating when price is likely to expand or reverse.
AMD automates this process by:
-Overlaying HTF candles directly on your lower timeframe chart.
-Projecting live levels like the current open, high, low, and close to map out evolving bias.
-Helping traders see whether price is accumulating orders, engineering liquidity sweeps, or distributing aggressively.
Key Features
Live HTF Candle Overlay
-Displays the full HTF candle — body, wicks, and directional bias — on your active chart in real time.
-Perfect for traders aligning intraday setups with broader HTF context.
Dynamic HTF Price Projections
-Plots the evolving open, high, low, and close for the current HTF candle.
-Each projection can be customized by color, style, labels, and visibility to fit your workflow.
Full Customization Control
-Adjust candle body widths, wick styles, and transparency.
-Configure projection lines and time labels in both 12h and 24h formats.
-Includes an optional Info Box showing instrument, timeframe, and session context.
Session Timing & Labeling
-Smart timestamping marks the start and close of each HTF candle.
-Helps traders anticipate potential expansions or reversals during killzones or liquidity events.
How to Use It
Select Your HTF Context
-Choose any timeframe overlay (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to match your trading model.
-Monitor Live HTF Levels
-Watch how price interacts with current HTF highs, lows, and equilibrium levels in real time.
-Integrate With ICT Concepts
-Use alongside tools like SMT divergence, Order Blocks, or Liquidity Levels for confirmation and context.
-Refine Intraday Entries
-Check whether price is expanding in your favor before entering positions.
Best Practices
Combine AMD with ICT killzone sessions to monitor HTF behavior during high-liquidity periods.
Use it alongside correlated SMT divergence tools for stronger directional bias confirmation.
Who It’s For
Scalpers anchoring quick entries to HTF sentiment.
Intraday traders syncing 5m/15m setups with 1H/4H context.
Swing traders monitoring HTF ranges without switching charts.
Educators & analysts needing clean visual overlays for teaching and content creation.
Why It’s Useful
AMD doesn’t provide trading signals or predictive guarantees. Instead, it offers a clean, structured view of HTF price delivery — enabling traders to understand institutional intent as it unfolds and manage their execution with greater confidence.
Weekly Open (Current Week Only)📘 Indicator Name: Weekly Open (Current Week Only)
📝 Description:
This indicator plots a horizontal line representing the weekly open price, visible only during the current trading week. At the beginning of each new week (based on TradingView’s weekly time segmentation), the indicator captures the open price of the first candle and draws a constant line across the chart until the week ends. Once the new week begins, the line resets and updates with the new weekly open.
🎯 How to Use – ICT Concepts Integration (Weekly Profile):
This tool is designed to complement ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading strategies, particularly within the weekly profile framework, by offering a clear and persistent visual of the weekly open, which is a critical reference point in ICT’s market structure theory.
✅ Use Cases:
Directional Bias:
According to ICT concepts, price trading above the weekly open suggests a bullish bias for the week, while trading below it implies bearish conditions.
Traders can use the weekly open line to align their intraweek trades with higher timeframe directional bias.
Dealing Ranges:
Weekly open helps frame the weekly dealing range, especially when combined with other levels like weekly high/low or previous week’s range.
It allows traders to identify potential liquidity pools or areas where price may seek to rebalance.
Mean Reversion Entries:
Price often reverts to or reacts from the weekly open. Traders may use this as a target or entry level, particularly during Monday/Tuesday setups.
Works well in conjunction with concepts like OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and Judas Swings.
Risk Management:
Acts as a clean and visual anchor to structure stop losses or take-profits based on weekly bias shifts.
Dynamic Customizable 50% Line & Daily High/Low + True Day OpenA Unique Indicator for Precise Market-Level Analysis
This indicator is a fully integrated solution that automates complex market-level calculations and visualizations, offering traders a tool that goes beyond the functionality of existing open-source alternatives. By seamlessly combining several trading concepts into a single script, it delivers efficiency, accuracy, and customization that cater to both novice and professional traders.
Key Features: A Breakdown of What Makes It Unique
1. Adaptive Daily Highs and Lows
Automatically detects and plots daily high and low levels based on the selected time frame, dynamically updating in real time.
Features session-based adjustments, allowing traders to focus on levels that matter for specific trading sessions (e.g., London, New York).
Fully customizable styling, visibility, and alerts tailored to each trader’s preferences.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates daily high and low levels directly from price data, integrating session-specific time offsets to account for global trading hours. These levels provide traders with clear visual markers for key liquidity zones.
2. Automated ICT 50% Range Line
A pioneering implementation of ICT’s mid-range concept, this feature dynamically calculates and displays the midpoint of the daily range.
Offers traders a visual guide to identify premium and discount zones, aiding in determining market bias and potential trade setups.
How It Works:
The script calculates the range between the day’s high and low, dividing it by two to generate the midline. This line updates in real-time, ensuring that traders always see the most current premium and discount levels as price action evolves.
3. Dynamic Market Open Levels
Plots session opens (e.g., Asia, London, New York) and the True Day Open to provide actionable reference points for intra-day trading strategies.
Enhances precision in identifying liquidity shifts and aligning trades with institutional price movements.
How It Works:
The indicator uses predefined session times to calculate and display the opening levels for key trading sessions. It dynamically adjusts for time zones, ensuring accuracy regardless of the trader’s location.
4. Custom Watermark for Enhanced Visualization
Includes an optional watermark feature that allows users to display custom text on their charts.
Ideal for personalization, branding, or highlighting session notes without disrupting the clarity of the chart.
Why This Indicator Stands Out
First-to-Market Automation:
While the ICT 50% range line is a widely recognized concept, this is the first script to automate its calculation, combining it with other pivotal trading levels in a single tool.
All-in-One Functionality:
Unlike open-source alternatives that focus on individual features, this script integrates daily highs/lows, mid-range levels, session opens, and customizable watermarks into one cohesive system. The consolidation reduces the need for multiple indicators and ensures a clean, efficient chart setup.
Dynamic Customization:
Every feature can be adjusted to align with a trader’s strategy, time zone, or aesthetic preferences. This level of adaptability is unmatched in existing tools.
Proprietary Logic:
The indicator’s underlying calculations are built from scratch, leveraging advanced programming techniques to ensure accuracy and reliability. These proprietary methods differentiate it from similar open-source scripts.
How to Use This Indicator
Apply the Indicator:
Add it to your TradingView chart from the library.
Configure Settings:
Use the intuitive settings panel to adjust plotted levels, colors, styles, and visibility. Tailor the indicator to your trading strategy.
Incorporate into Analysis:
Combine the plotted levels with your preferred trading approach to identify liquidity zones, establish market bias, and pinpoint potential reversals or entries.
Stay Focused:
With all key levels automated and updated in real time, traders can focus on execution rather than manual plotting.
Originality and Justification for Closed Source
This script is closed-source due to its unique combination of features and proprietary logic that automates complex trading concepts like the ICT 50% range line and session-specific levels. Open-source alternatives lack this level of integration and customization, making this indicator a valuable and original contribution to the TradingView ecosystem.
What Sets It Apart from Open-Source Scripts?
Unlike open-source tools, this indicator doesn’t just replicate individual features—it enhances and integrates them into a seamless, all-in-one solution that offers traders a more efficient and effective way to analyze the market.
Pure Price Action Structures [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action Structures indicator is a pure price action analysis tool designed to automatically identify real-time market structures.
The indicator identifies short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term swing highs and lows, forming the foundation for real-time detection of shifts and breaks in market structure.
Its distinctive/unique feature lies in its reliance solely on price patterns, without being limited by any user-defined input, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is a crucial aspect of understanding price action. The script automatically identifies real-time market structure, enabling traders to comprehend market trends more easily. It assists traders in recognizing both trend changes and continuations.
Market structures are constructed from three sets of swing points, short-term swings, intermediary swings, and long-term swings. Market structures associated with longer-term swing points are indicative of longer-term trends.
A market structure shift (MSS), also known as a change of character (CHoCH), is a significant event in price action analysis that may signal a potential shift in market sentiment or direction. Conversely, a break of structure (BOS) is another significant event in price action analysis that typically indicates a continuation of the prevailing trend.
However, it's important to note that while an MSS can be the first indication of a trend reversal and a BOS signifies a continuation of the prevailing trend, they do not guarantee a complete reversal or continuation of the trend.
In some cases, MSS and BOS levels may also act as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation, rather than indicating a definitive change in market direction or continuation. Traders should approach them with caution and consider additional factors to confirm the validity of the signal before making trading decisions.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structures
Market structures are based on the analysis of price action and aim to identify key levels and patterns in the market, where swing point detection is one of the core concepts within ICT trading methodologies and teachings.
Swing points are automatically detected solely based on market movements, without any reliance on user-defined input.
🔹 Utilizing Swing Points
Swing points are not identified in real time as they occur. While short-term swing points may be displayed with a delay of at most one bar, the identification of intermediate and long-term swing points depends entirely on market movements. Furthermore, detection is not limited by any user-defined input but relies solely on pure price action. Consequently, swing points are not typically utilized in real-time trading scenarios.
Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential entry and exit points for their trades. By identifying swing highs and lows, traders can:
Recognize Trends: Swing highs and lows help traders identify the direction of the trend. Higher swing highs and higher swing lows indicate an uptrend, while lower swing highs and lower swing lows indicate a downtrend.
Identify Support and Resistance Levels: Swing highs often serve as resistance levels, known in ICT terminology as Buyside Liquidity Levels, while swing lows function as support levels, also referred to in ICT terminology as Sellside Liquidity Levels. Traders can utilize these levels to strategize entry and exit points for their trades.
Spot Reversal Patterns: Swing points can form various reversal patterns, such as double tops or bottoms, head and shoulders patterns, and triangles. Recognizing these patterns can signal potential trend reversals, allowing traders to adjust their strategies accordingly.
Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: In the context of ICT teachings, swing levels represent specific price levels where a concentration of buy or sell orders is anticipated. Traders can target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions, essentially using swing points to establish stop loss and take profit levels for their trades.
Overall, swing points provide valuable information about market dynamics and can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Structures

ORB + Fair Value Gaps (FVG/iFVG) Suite with Daily 50% MidlineA complete smart-money–focused price-action toolkit combining the New York Open Range Breakout (ORB), ICT-style Fair Value Gaps, Inverted FVGs, and a dynamic Daily 50% Midline.
Designed for traders who want a clean, fast, and highly visual way to track liquidity, imbalances, and intraday directional bias.
📌 Key Features
1. NY Session ORB (09:30–09:45 New York Time)
Automatically plots:
ORB High
ORB Low
Labels for ORB high/low
Optional 5-minute chart restriction
Lines extend forward for easy reference
Used to identify breakout conditions, liquidity sweeps, and directional bias into the morning session.
📌 2. ICT-Style Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Full automated detection of bullish & bearish FVGs based on the classic 3-candle displacement structure:
Bullish FVG: high < low
Bearish FVG: low > high
Each FVG is drawn as a box with:
Custom colour
Custom border style (solid, dashed, dotted)
Automatic extension to the right until filled
Optional size text showing the gap in points (font size/colour adjustable)

[Statistics] killzone SFPSFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)
This indicator automatically finds and draws the high and low of the Asia, London, and New York trading sessions. It then hunts for Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs) that sweep these key session levels.
The main purpose of this script is to gather statistics on when these high-probability SFPs occur, allowing you to map out and identify the times of day when they are most frequent.
How to Use This Indicator
Set Your SFP Timeframe: In the settings, choose the timeframe you want to hunt for SFPs on (e.g., 1H, 15m). Important: You must also set your main chart to this exact same timeframe for the statistics to be collected correctly.
Define Your Sessions: Go to the "Session Definitions" tab.
Set the Global Timezone to your preferred trading timezone (e.g., "America/New_York"). This controls all session times and table times.
Adjust the start and end times for Asia, London, and NY AM sessions.
You can turn off sessions you don't want to track (like NY Lunch or NY PM).
You can also change the colors and text style for the session boxes here.
Set Confirmation Bars: In "SFP Engine Settings," the "Confirmation Bars" (default is 2) defines how many bars must close after the SFP bar without invalidating the level. An SFP is only "confirmed" and drawn after this period.
0 = Confirms immediately on the SFP candle's close.
2 = Confirms 2 bars after the SFP candle's close.
Read the Statistics: The "Custom SFP Statistics" table will appear on your chart. This table logs every confirmed SFP and tells you:
Which time of day they happen most.
How many were Bearish (swept a high) vs. Bullish (swept a low).
It's set by default to show the "Top 20" most frequent times, sorted chronologically.
Filter Your Chart (Optional): If your chart feels cluttered, go to "Visual Time Filter" and turn it ON.
Set a time window (e.g., "09:30-11:00").
The indicator will now only draw SFP signals that occurred within that specific time window. This is perfect for focusing on a single killzone.
How to Set Up Alerts
You can set up server-side alerts to be notified every time a new SFP is confirmed.
Check the "Enable SFP Alerts" box at the top of the indicator's settings.
Click the "Alert" button (alarm clock icon) on the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" dropdown, select "SFP Statistics (ICT Sessions)".
In the second dropdown, choose "Any alert() function call".
Most Important Step: In the "Message" box, delete any default text and type in this exact placeholder:
{{alert_message}}
Set the trigger to "Once Per Bar Close".
Click "Create".
How Alerts Work (Triggers & Filtering)
Trigger: Alerts are tied to the confirmed signal. An alert will only fire after your "Confirmation Bars" have passed and the SFP is locked in. This prevents you from getting alerts on fake-outs.
Alert Filtering: The alerts are linked to the "Visual Time Filter". If you turn on the Visual Time Filter (e.g., to 09:30-11:00), you will only receive alerts for SFPs that are confirmed within that time window. If an SFP happens at 14:00, the script will ignore it, it will not be drawn, and it will not send you an alert. This allows you to get alerts only for the session you are actively trading.
Note: This is a first draft of this indicator. I will continue to work on it and improve it over time, as it may still contain small bugs.

Weekly Range ProjectionsWeekly Range Projections
Inspired by toodegrees' excellent "ICT Friday's Asian Range" indicator
This indicator is a modified and enhanced version of the original Friday's Asian Range indicator created by toodegrees. While studying their brilliant work, I realized the concept could be expanded beyond just Friday's Asian session to create a more versatile tool for weekly price projections.
What's New?
I've transformed the original concept into a fully customizable range projection tool that allows traders to:
Select Any Day of the Week - Not limited to just Fridays anymore
Define Custom Time Ranges - Set your own start and end times to capture any session (Asian, London, New York, or custom ranges)
Flexible Deviation Levels - Choose between 1-9 standard deviations instead of the fixed 5
Toggle Body/Wick Ranges - Show or hide body and wick projections independently
Updated to Pine Script v6 - Taking advantage of the latest Pine Script features
How It Works
The indicator captures the price range (body and/or wick) during your specified time window on your chosen day, then projects standard deviation levels from that range. These levels often act as significant support/resistance throughout the week.
Use Cases
Weekly Opening Range - Capture Monday's opening range for week-long projections
Session-Based Analysis - Define any session on any day for targeted analysis
Multi-Timeframe Projections - Create different instances for various time ranges
ICT Concepts - Perfect for traders following ICT methodologies with customizable ranges
Credits
Huge thanks to toodegrees for creating the original Friday's Asian Range indicator and sharing it with the community. Their clean code structure and innovative approach to range projections inspired this modification. The core logic and visual presentation style remain true to their original vision, with added flexibility for broader applications.

First FVG📘 Indicator Description (English)
First FVG – NY Open is a TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that appears during the New York session, following the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology.
It highlights institutional inefficiencies in price caused by imbalanced price action and helps traders spot high-probability entry zones, especially after the 9:30 AM EST (New York Open).
⚙️ How It Works
Session time: The indicator scans for FVGs starting at 9:32 AM (allowing 3 candles after the NY Open to form).
FVG Conditions:
Bullish FVG: When the high of 2 candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle and the middle candle is bullish.
Bearish FVG: When the low of 2 candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle and the middle candle is bearish.
Only the first FVG per session is drawn, as taught by ICT for setups like Judas Swing or NY Reversal models.
A colored box is drawn to represent the FVG zone.
A dotted horizontal line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG box (Consequent Encroachment), a key level watched by smart money traders.
A dashed vertical line is drawn at 9:30 NY time to mark the open.
🧠 How to Use It
Wait for the NY Open (9:30 AM EST) – the indicator becomes active at 9:32 AM.
Watch for the first FVG box of the day. This is often a high-probability reaction zone.
Use the CE line (center of the FVG) as a reference for entries, rejections, or liquidity grabs.
Combine with market structure, PD Arrays, and liquidity concepts as taught by ICT for confluence.
The FVG box and CE line will extend forward for several candles for visual clarity.
🎛️ Customizable Settings

Order Block Overlapping Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Technical analysis is a fundamental tool in financial markets, helping traders identify key areas on price charts to make informed trading decisions. The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) style, developed by Michael Huddleston, is one of the most advanced methods in this field.
It enables traders to precisely identify and exploit critical zones such as Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs).
To streamline and simplify the use of these key areas, a library has been developed in Pine Script, the scripting language for the TradingView platform. This library allows you to automatically detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other similar areas, and visually display them on your chart.
This tool is particularly useful for creating indicators like Balanced Price Range (BPR) and ICT Unicorn Model.
🔵 How to Use
This section explains how to use the Pine Script library. This library assists you in easily identifying and analyzing overlapping areas between Order Blocks and other zones, such as Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps.
To add "Order Block Overlapping Drawing", you must first add the following code to your script.
import TFlab/OrderBlockOverlappingDrawing/1
🟣 Inputs
The library includes the "OBOverlappingDrawing" function, which you can use to detect and display overlapping zones. This function identifies and draws overlapping zones based on the Order Block type, trigger conditions, previous and current prices, and other relevant parameters.
🟣 Parameters
OBOverlappingDrawing(OBType , TriggerConditionOrigin, distalPrice_Pre, proximalPrice_Pre , distalPrice_Curr, proximalPrice_Curr, Index_Curr , OBValidGlobal, OBValidDis, MitigationLvL, ShowAll, Show, ColorZone) =>
OBType (string)
TriggerConditionOrigin (bool)
distalPrice_Pre (float)
proximalPrice_Pre (float)
distalPrice_Curr (float)
proximalPrice_Curr (float)
Index_Curr (int)
OBValidGlobal (bool)
OBValidDis (int)
MitigationLvL (string)
ShowAll (bool)
Show (bool)
ColorZone (color)
In this example, various parameters are defined to detect overlapping zones and draw them on the chart. Based on these settings, the overlapping areas will be automatically drawn on the chart.
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your Current order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerConditionOrigin : Input the condition under which you want the Current order block to be drawn in this parameter.
distalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Pervious "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
proximalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Previous "Proximal" line.
distalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Current "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
proximalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Current "Proximal" line.
Index_Curr : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the Current order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidGlobal : This parameter is a boolean in which you can enter the condition that you want to execute to stop drawing the block order. If you do not have a special condition, you should set it to True.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
MitigationLvL : This parameter is a string. Its inputs are one of "Proximal", "Distal" or "50 % OB" modes, which you can enter according to your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the middle line between distal and proximal.
ShowAll : This is a boolean parameter, if it is "true" the entire order of blocks will be displayed, and if it is "false" only the last block order will be displayed.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🟣 Output
Mitigation Alerts : This library allows you to leverage Mitigation Alerts to detect specific conditions that could lead to trend reversals. These alerts help you react promptly in your trades, ensuring better management of market shifts.
🔵 Conclusion
The Pine Script library provided is a powerful tool for technical analysis, especially in the ICT style. It enables you to detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other significant areas like Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, improving your trading strategies. By utilizing this tool, you can perform more precise analysis and manage risks effectively in your trades.
IPDA Standard Deviations [DexterLab x TFO x toodegrees]> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The IPDA Standard Deviations tool encompasses the Time and price relationship as studied by @TraderDext3r .
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Dexter's tweets, videos, and material.
This tool was born from a collaboration between @TraderDext3r, @tradeforopp and I, with the objective of bringing a comprehensive IPDA Standard Deviations tool to Tradingview.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Fractal IPDA Time Windows, and trace the potential Standard Deviations of the moves at their respective high and low extremes.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it allows traders to save Time by automatically adapting the Time Windows based on the current chart's Timeframe, as well as providing customizations to filter and focus on the appropriate Standard Deviations.
> IPDA Standard Deviations by TraderDext3r
The underlying idea is based on the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm's lookback windows on the daily chart as taught by the Inner Circle Trader:
IPDA looks at the past three months of price action to determine how to deliver price in the future.
Additionally, the ICT concept of projecting specific manipulation moves prior to large displacement upwards/downwards is used to navigate and interpret the priorly mentioned displacement move. We pay attention to specific Standard Deviations based on the current environment and overall narrative.
Dexter being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, harnessed the fractal nature of price to derive fractal IPDA Lookback Time Windows for lower Timeframes, and studied the behaviour of price at specific Deviations.
For Example:
The -1 to -2 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation.
The -2 to -2.5 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation, or a Smart Money Reversal.
The -4 area should be seen as the ultimate objective, or the level at which the displacement will slow down.
Given that these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, they are to be used hand in hand with all other ICT Concepts (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
> Fractal IPDA Time Windows
The IPDA Lookbacks Types identified by Dexter are as follows:
Monthly – 1D Chart: one widow per Month, highlighting the past three Months.
Weekly – 4H to 8H Chart: one window per Week, highlighting the past three Weeks.
Daily – 15m to 1H Chart: one window per Day, highlighting the past three Days.
Intraday – 1m to 5m Chart: one window per 4 Hours highlighting the past 12 Hours.
Inside these three respective Time Windows, the extreme High and Low will be identified, as well as the prior opposing short term market structure point. These represent the anchors for the Standard Deviation Projections.
> Tool Settings
The User is able to plot any type of Standard Deviation they want by inputting them in the settings, in their own line of the text box. They will always be plotted from the Time Windows extremes.
As previously mentioned, the User is also able to define their own Timeframe intervals for the respective IPDA Lookback Types. The specific Timeframes on which the different Lookback Types are plotted are edge-inclusive. In case of an overlap, the higher Timeframe Lookback will be prioritized.
Finally the User is able to filter and remove Standard Deviations in two ways:
"Remove Once Invalidated" will automatically delete a Deviation once its outer anchor extreme is traded through.
Manual Toggles will allow to remove the Upward or Downward Deviation of each Time Window at the discretion of the User.
Major shoutout to Dexter and TFO for their Time, it was a pleasure to collaborate and create this tool with them.
GLGT!
Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator [ApexLegion]Market Regime | NY Session Killzones Indicator
Introduction and Theoretical Background
The Market Regime | NY Session Killzones indicator is designed exclusively for New York market hours (07:00-16:00 ET). Unlike universal indicators that attempt to function across disparate global sessions, this tool employs session-specific calibration to target the distinct liquidity characteristics of the NY trading day: Pre-Market structural formation (08:00-09:30), the Morning breakout window (09:30-12:00), and the Afternoon Killzone (13:30-16:00)—periods when institutional order flow exhibits the highest concentration and most definable technical structure. By restricting its operational scope to these statistically significant time windows, the indicator focuses on signal relevance while filtering the noise inherent in lower-liquidity overnight or extended-hours trading environments.
I. TECHNICAL RATIONALE: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTEXTUAL FUSION
1. The Limitation of Acontextual Indicators
Traditional technical indicators often fail because they treat every bar and every market session equally, applying static thresholds (e.g., RSI > 70) without regard for the underlying market structure or liquidity environment. However, institutional volume and market volatility are highly dependent on the time of day (session) and the prevailing long-term risk environment.
This indicator was developed to address this "contextual deficit" by fusing three distinct yet interdependent analytical layers:
• Time and Structure (Macro): Identifying high-probability trading windows (Killzones) and critical structural levels (Pre-Market Range, PDH/PDL).
• Volatility and Scoring (Engine): Normalizing intraday momentum against annual volatility data to create an objective, statistically grounded AI Score.
• Risk Management (Execution): Implementing dynamic, volatility-adjusted Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) parameters based on the Average True Range (ATR).
2. The Mandate for 252-Day Normalization (Z-Score)
What makes this tool unique is its 252-day Z-Score normalization engine that transforms raw momentum readings into statistically grounded probability scores, allowing the same indicator to deliver consistent, context-aware signals across any timeframe—from 1-minute scalping to 1-hour swing trades—without manual recalibration.
THE PROBLEM OF SCALE INVARIANCE
A high Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading on a 1-minute chart has a completely different market implication than a high RSI reading on a Daily chart. Simple percentage-based thresholds (like 70 or 30) do not provide true contextual significance. A sudden spike in momentum may look extreme on a 5-minute chart, but if it is statistically insignificant compared to the overall volatility of the last year, it may be a poor signal.
THE SOLUTION: CROSS-TIMEFRAME Z-SCORE NORMALIZATION
This indicator utilizes the Pine Script function request.security to reference the Daily timeframe for calculating the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) of a momentum oscillator (RSI) over the past 252 trading days (one year).
The indicator then calculates the Z-Score (Z) for the current bar's raw momentum (x): Z = (x - μ) / σ
Core Implementation: float raw_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) // x
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "D",
, // σ (252 days)
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0 // Z
This score provides an objective measurement of current intraday momentum significance by evaluating its statistical extremity against the yearly baseline of daily momentum. This standardized approach provides the scoring engine with consistent, global contextual information, independent of the chart's current viewing timeframe.
II. CORE COMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS BREAKDOWN
1. TIME AND SESSION ANALYSIS (KILLZONES AND BIAS)
The indicator visually segments the trading day based on New York (NY) trading sessions, aligning the analysis with periods of high institutional liquidity events.
Pre-Market (PRE)
• Function: Defines the range before the core market opens. This range establishes structural support and resistance levels (PMH/PML).
• Technical Implementation: Uses a dedicated Session input (ny_pre_sess). The High and Low values (pm_h_val/pm_l_val) within this session are stored and plotted for structural reference.
• Smart Extension Logic: PMH/PML lines are automatically extended until the next Pre-Market session begins, providing continuous support/resistance references overnight.
NY Killzones (AM/PM)
• Function: Highlights high-probability volatility windows where institutional liquidity is expected to be highest (e.g., NY open, lunch, NY close).
• Technical Implementation: Separate session inputs (kz_ny_am, kz_ny_pm) are utilized to draw translucent background fills, providing a clear visual cue for timing.
Market Regime Bias
• Function: Determines the initial directional premise for the trading day. The bias is confirmed when the price breaks either the Pre-Market High (PMH) or the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Technical Implementation: Involves the comparison of the close price against the predefined structural levels (check_h for PMH, check_l for PML). The variable active_bias is set to Bullish or Bearish upon confirmed breakout.
Trend Bar Coloring
• Function: Applies a visual cue to the bars based on the established regime (Bullish=Cyan, Bearish=Red). This visual filter helps mitigate noise from counter-trend candles.
• Technical Implementation: The Pine Script barcolor() function is tied directly to the value of the determined active_bias.
2. VOLATILITY NORMALIZED SCORING ENGINE
The internal scoring mechanism accumulates points from multiple market factors to determine the strength and validity of a signal. The purpose is to apply a robust filtering mechanism before generating an entry.
The score accumulation logic is based on the following factors:
• Market Bias Alignment (+3 Points): Points are awarded for conformance with the determined active_bias (Bullish/Bearish).
• VWAP Alignment (+2 Points): Assesses the position of the current price relative to the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Alignment suggests conformity with the average institutional transaction price.
• Volume Anomaly (+2 Points): Detects a price move accompanied by an abnormally high relative volume (odd_vol_spike). This suggests potential institutional participation or significant order flow.
• VIX Integration (+2 Points): A score derived from the CBOE VIX index, assessing overall market stability and stress. Stable VIX levels add points, while high VIX levels (stress regimes) remove points or prevent signal generation entirely.
• ML Probability Score (+3 Points): This is the core predictive engine. It utilizes a Log-Manhattan Distance Kernel to compare the current market state against historical volatility patterns. The script implements a Log-linear distance formula (log(1 + |Δ|) ). This approach mathematically dampens the impact of extreme volatility spikes (outliers), ensuring that the similarity score reflects true structural alignment rather than transient market noise.
Core Technical Logic (Z-Score Normalization)
float cur_rsi_norm = d_rsi_std != 0 ? (raw_rsi - d_rsi_mean) / d_rsi_std : 0.0
• Technical Purpose: This line calculates the Z-Score (cur_rsi_norm) of the current momentum oscillator reading (raw_rsi) by normalizing it against the mean (d_rsi_mean) and standard deviation (d_rsi_std) derived from 252 days of Daily momentum data. If the standard deviation is zero (market is perfectly flat), it safely returns 0.0 to prevent division by zero runtime errors. This allows the AI's probability score to be based on the current signal's significance within the context of the entire trading year.
3. EXECUTION AND RISK MANAGEMENT (ATR MODEL)
The indicator utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) volatility model. This helps risk management scale dynamically with market volatility by allowing users to define TP/SL distances independently based on the current ATR.
Stop Loss Multiplier (sl_mult)
• Function: Sets the Stop Loss (SL) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 1.5 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_sl_price := close - (atr_val * sl_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Take Profit Multiplier (tp_mult)
• Function: Sets the Take Profit (TP) distance as a configurable multiple of the current ATR (e.g., 3.0 × ATR).
• Technical Logic: The price level is calculated as: last_tp_price := close + (atr_val * tp_mult). The mathematical sign is reversed for short trades.
Structural SL Option
• Function: Provides an override to the ATR-based SL calculation. When enabled, it forces the Stop Loss to the Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML) level, aligning the stop with a key institutional structural boundary.
• Technical Logic: The indicator checks the use_struct_sl input. If true, the calculated last_sl_price is overridden with either pm_h_val or pm_l_val, dependent on the specific trade direction.
Trend Continuation Logic
• Function: Enables signal generation in established, strong trends (typically in the Afternoon session) based on follow-through momentum (a new high/low of the previous bar) combined with a high Signal Score, rather than exclusively relying on the initial PMH/PML breakout.
• Technical Logic: For a long signal, the is_cont_long logic specifically requires checks like active_bias == s_bull AND close > high , confirming follow-through momentum within the established regime.
Smart Snapping & Cleanup (16:00 Market Close)
• Function: To maintain chart cleanliness, all trade boxes (TP/SL), AI Prediction zones, Killzone overlays (NY AM/PM), and Liquidity lines (PDH/PDL) are automatically "snapped" and cut off precisely at 16:00 NY Time (Market Close).
• Technical Logic: When is_market_close condition is met (hour == 16 and minute == 0), the script executes cleanup logic that:
◦ Closes active trades and evaluates final P&L
◦ Snaps all TP/SL box widths to current bar
◦ Truncates AI Prediction ghost boxes at market close
◦ Cuts off NY AM/PM Killzone background fills
◦ Terminates PDH/PDL line extensions
◦ Prevents visual clutter from extending into post-market sessions
4. LIQUIDITY AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
The indicator plots key structural levels that serve as high-probability magnet zones or areas of potential liquidity absorption.
• Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML): These are the high and low established during the configured pre-market session (ny_pre_sess). They define the primary structural breakout level for the day, often serving as the initial market inflection point or the key entry level for the morning session.
• PDH (Previous Day High): The high of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This represents a key Liquidity Pool; large orders are often placed above this level, making it a frequent target for stop hunts or liquidity absorption by market makers.
• PDL (Previous Day Low): The low of the calendar day immediately preceding the current bar. This also represents a key Liquidity Pool and a high-probability reversal or accumulation point, particularly during the Killzones.
FIFO Array Management
The indicator uses FIFO (First-In-First-Out) array structures to manage liquidity lines and labels, automatically deleting the oldest objects when the count exceeds 500 to comply with drawing object limits.
5. AI PREDICTION BOX (PREDICTIVE MODEL)
Function: Analyzes AI scores and volatility to project predicted killzone ranges and duration with asymmetric directional bias.
A. DIRECTIONAL BIAS (ASYMMETRIC EXPANSION)
The prediction model calculates directional probability using the ML kernel's 252-day Normalized RSI (Z-Score) and Relative Volume (RVOL). The prediction box dynamically adjusts its range based on this probability to provide immediate visual feedback on high-probability direction.
Bullish Scenario (ml_prob > 1.0):
• Upper Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive upside target
• Lower Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed upward, immediately communicating bullish bias without requiring numerical analysis.
Bearish Scenario (ml_prob < -1.0):
• Upper Range: Tightens (0.5x multiplier) to show the invalidation level
• Lower Range: Expands significantly (1.5x multiplier) to show the aggressive downside target
• Visual Intent: The box is visibly skewed downward, immediately communicating bearish bias.
Neutral Scenario (-1.0 < ml_prob < 1.0):
Both ranges use balanced multipliers, creating a symmetrical box that indicates uncertainty.
B. DYNAMIC VOLATILITY BOOSTER (SESSION-BASED ADAPTATION)
The prediction box adjusts its volatility multiplier based on the current session and market conditions to account for intraday volatility patterns.
AM Session (Morning: 07:00-12:00):
• Base Multiplier: 1.0x (Neutral Base)
• Logic: Morning sessions often contain false breakouts and noise. The base multiplier starts neutral to avoid over-projecting during consolidation.
• Trend Booster: Multiplier jumps to 1.5x when:
Price > London Session Open AND AI is Bullish (ml_prob > 0), OR
Price < London Session Open AND AI is Bearish (ml_prob < 0)
• Logic: When the London trend (typically 03:00-08:00 NY time) aligns with the AI model's directional conviction, the indicator aggressively targets higher volatility expansion. This filters for "institutional follow-through" rather than random morning chop.
PM Session (Afternoon: 13:00-16:00):
• Fixed Multiplier: 1.8x
• Logic: The PM session, particularly the 13:30-16:00 ICT Silver Bullet window, often contains the "True Move" of the day. A higher baseline multiplier is applied to emphasize this session's significance over morning noise.
Safety Floor:
A minimum range of 0.2% of the current price is enforced regardless of volatility conditions.
• Purpose: Maintains the prediction box visibility during extreme low-volatility consolidation periods where ATR might collapse to near-zero values.
Volatility Clamp Protection:
Maximum volatility is capped at three times the current ATR value. During flash crashes, circuit breaker halts, or large overnight gaps, raw volatility calculations can spike to extreme levels. This clamp prevents prediction boxes from expanding to unrealistic widths.
Technical Implementation:
f_get_ai_multipliers(float _prob) =>
float _abs_prob = math.abs(_prob)
float _range_mult = 1.0
float _dur_mult = 1.0
if _abs_prob > 30
_range_mult := 1.8
else if _abs_prob > 10
_range_mult := 1.2
else
_range_mult := 0.7
C. PRACTICAL INTERPRETATION
• Wide Upper Range + Tight Lower Range: Strong bullish conviction. The model expects significant upside with limited downside risk.
• Tight Upper Range + Wide Lower Range: Strong bearish conviction. The model expects significant downside with limited upside.
• Symmetrical Range: Neutral/uncertain market. Wait for directional confirmation before entry.
• Large Box (Extended Duration): High-confidence prediction expecting sustained movement.
• Small Box (Short Duration): Low-confidence or choppy conditions. Expect quick resolution.
III. PRACTICAL USAGE GUIDE: METHODOLOGY AND EXECUTION
A. ESTABLISHING TRADING CONTEXT (THE THREE CHECKS)
The primary goal of the dashboard is to filter out low-probability trade setups before they occur.
• Timeframe Selection: Although the core AI is normalized to the Daily context, the indicator performs optimally on intraday timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m) where session-based volatility is most pronounced.
• PHASE Check (Timing): Always confirm the current phase. The highest probability signals typically occur within the visually highlighted NY AM/PM Killzones because this is when institutional liquidity and volume are at their peak. Signals outside these zones should be treated with skepticism.
• MARKET REGIME Check (Bias): Ensure the signal (BUY/SELL arrow) aligns with the established MARKET REGIME bias (BULLISH/BEARISH). Counter-bias signals are technically allowed if the score is high, but they represent a higher risk trade.
• VIX REGIME Check (Risk): Review the VIX REGIME for overall market stress. Periods marked DANGER (high VIX) indicate elevated volatility and market uncertainty. During DANGER regimes, reducing position size or choosing a wider SL Multiplier is advisable.
B. DASHBOARD INTERPRETATION (THE REAL-TIME STATUS DISPLAY)
The indicator features a non-intrusive dashboard that provides real-time, context-aware information based on the core analytical engines.
PHASE: (PRE-MARKET, NY-AM, LUNCH, NY-PM)
• Meaning: Indicates the current institutional session time. This is derived from the customizable session inputs.
• Interpretation: Signals generated during NY-AM or NY-PM (Killzones) are generally considered higher-probability due to increased institutional participation and liquidity.
MARKET REGIME: (BULLISH, BEARISH, NEUTRAL)
• Meaning: The established directional bias for the trading day, confirmed by the price breaking above the Pre-Market High (PMH) or below the Pre-Market Low (PML).
• Interpretation: Trading with the established regime (e.g., taking a BUY signal when the regime is BULLISH) is the primary method. NEUTRAL indicates that the PMH/PML boundary has not yet been broken, suggesting market ambiguity.
VIX REGIME: (STABLE, DANGER)
• Meaning: A measure of overall market stress and stability, based on the CBOE VIX index integration. The thresholds (20.0 and 35.0 default) are customizable by the user.
• Interpretation: STABLE indicates stable volatility, favoring momentum trades. DANGER (VIX > 35.0) indicates extreme stress; signals generated in this environment require caution and often necessitate smaller position sizing.
SIGNAL SCORE: (0 to 10+ Points)
• Meaning: The accumulated score derived from the VOLATILITY NORMALIZED AI SCORING ENGINE, factoring in bias, VWAP alignment, volume, and the Z-Score probability.
• Interpretation: The indicator generates a signal when this score meets or exceeds the Minimum Entry Score (default 3). A higher score (e.g., 7+) indicates greater statistical confluence and a stronger potential entry.
AI PROBABILITY: (Bull/Bear %)
• Meaning: Directional probability derived from the ML kernel, expressed as a percentage with Bull/Bear label.
• Interpretation: Higher absolute values (>20%) indicate stronger directional conviction from the ML model.
LIVE METRICS SECTION:
• STATUS: Shows current trade state (LONG, SHORT, or INACTIVE)
• ENTRY: Displays the entry price for active trades
• TARGET: Shows the calculated Take Profit level
• ROI | KILL ZONE:
◦ For Active Trades: Displays real-time P&L percentage during NY session hours.
◦ At Market Close (16:00 NY): Since this is a NY session-specific indicator, any active position is automatically evaluated and closed at 16:00. The final result (VALIDATED or INVALIDATED) is determined based on whether the trade reached profit or loss at market close.
◦ Result Persistence: The killzone result (VALIDATED/INVALIDATED) remains displayed on the dashboard until the next NY AM KILLZONE session begins, providing a clear performance reference for the previous trading day.
Note: If a trade is still trending at 16:00, it will be force-closed and evaluated at that moment, as the indicator operates strictly within NY trading hours.
C. SIGNAL GENERATION AND ENTRY LOGIC
The indicator generates signals based on two distinct technical setups, both of which require the accumulated SIGNAL SCORE to be above the configured Minimum Entry Score.
Breakout Entry
• Trigger Condition: Price closes beyond the Pre-Market High (PMH) or Low (PML).
• Rationale: This setup targets the initial directional movement for the day. A breakout confirms the institutional bias by decisively breaking the first major structural boundary, making the signal high-probability.
Continuation Entry
• Trigger Condition: The market is already in an established regime (e.g., BULLISH), and the price closes above the high (or below the low) of the previous bar, while the SIGNAL SCORE remains high. Requires the Allow Trend Continuation parameter to be active.
• Rationale: This setup targets follow-through trades, typically in the afternoon session, capturing momentum after the morning's direction has been confirmed. This filters for sustainability in the established trend.
Execution: Execute the trade immediately upon the close of the bar that prints the BUY or SELL signal arrow.
D. MANAGING RISK AND EXITS
1. RISK PARAMETER SELECTION
The indicator immediately draws the dynamic TP/SL zones upon entry.
• Volatility-Based (Recommended Default): By setting the SL Multiplier (e.g., 1.5) and the TP Multiplier (e.g., 3.0), the indicator enforces a constant, dynamically sized risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2 in this example). This helps that risk management scales proportionally with the current market volatility (ATR).
• Structural Override: Selecting the Use Structural SL parameter fixes the stop-loss not to the ATR calculation, but to the more significant structural level of the PMH or PML. This is utilized by traders who favor institutional entry rules where the stop is placed behind the liquidity boundary.
2. EXIT METHODS
• Hard Exit: Price hits the visual TP or SL box boundary.
• Soft Exit (Momentum Decay Filter): If the trade is active and the SIGNAL SCORE drops below the Exit Score Threshold (default 3), it indicates that the momentum supporting the trade has significantly collapsed. This serves as a momentum decay filter, prompting the user to consider a manual early exit even if the SL/TP levels have not been hit, thereby preserving capital during low-momentum consolidation.
• Market Close Auto-Exit: At 16:00 NY time, any active trade is automatically closed and classified as VALIDATED (profit) or INVALIDATED (loss) based on current price vs. entry price.

🔔 ALERT CONFIGURATION GUIDE
The indicator is equipped with specific alert conditions.
How to Set Up an Alert:
Click the "Alert" (Clock icon) in the top TradingView toolbar.
Select "Market Regime NY Session " from the Condition dropdown menu.
Choose one of the specific trigger conditions below depending on your strategy:
🚀 Available Alert Conditions
1. BUY (Long Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bullish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bullish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Long positions or close existing Short positions.
2. SELL (Short Entry)
Trigger: Fires immediately when a confirmed Bearish Setup is detected.
Conditions: Market Bias is Bearish (or valid Continuation) + Signal Score ≥ Minimum Entry Score.
Usage: Use this alert to open new Short positions or close existing Long positions.
V. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS
⚠️ Intraday Only (Timeframe Compatibility)
This indicator is strictly designed for Intraday Timeframes (1m to 4h).
Daily/Weekly Charts: The session logic (e.g., "09:30-16:00") cannot function on Daily bars because a single bar encompasses the entire session. Session boxes, TP/SL zones, and AI prediction boxes will NOT draw on the Daily timeframe. Only the PDH/PDL liquidity lines remain visible on Daily charts. This is expected behavior, not a limitation.
Maximum Supported Timeframe: All visual components (session boxes, killzone overlays, TP/SL zones, AI prediction boxes) are displayed up to the 4-hour timeframe. Above this timeframe, only PDH/PDL lines and the dashboard remain functional.
⚠️ Drawing Object Limit (Max 500)
A single script can display a maximum of 500 drawing objects (boxes/lines) simultaneously.
On lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute), where many signals and session boxes are generated, older history (typically beyond 10-14 days) will automatically disappear to make room for new real-time data.
For deeper historical backtesting visualization, switch to higher timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1h).
The indicator implements FIFO array management to comply with this limit while maintaining the most recent and relevant visual data.
VI. PRACTICAL TRADING TIPS AND BEST PRACTICES
• Killzone Confirmation: The highest statistical validity is observed when a high-score signal occurs directly within a visible NY AM/PM Killzone. Use the Killzones as a strict time filter.
• Liquidity Awareness (PDH/PDL): Treat the Previous Day High (PDH) and Low (PDL) lines as magnets. If your dynamic Take Profit (TP) is placed just above PDH, consider adjusting your target slightly below PDH or utilizing the Soft Exit, as liquidity absorption at these levels often results in sudden, sharp reversals that stop out a trade just before the target is reached.
• VIX as a Position Sizer: During DANGER VIX regimes, the resulting high volatility means the ATR value will be large. It is prudent to either reduce the SL Multiplier or, more commonly, reduce the overall position size to maintain a constant currency risk exposure per trade.
• Continuation Filter Timing: Trend Continuation signals are most effective during the Afternoon (PM) session when the morning's directional breakout has had time to establish a strong, clear, and sustainable trend. Avoid using them in the initial AM session when the direction is still being contested.
• 16:00 Market Close Rule: All trades, boxes, and lines are automatically cleaned up at 16:00 NY time. This prevents overnight chart clutter and maintains visual clarity.
VII. DISCLAIMER & RISK WARNINGS
• Educational Purpose Only
This indicator, including all associated code, documentation, and visual outputs, is provided strictly for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial advice, investment recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any financial instruments.
• No Guarantee of Performance
Past performance is not indicative of future results. All metrics displayed on the dashboard (including "ROI" and trade results) are theoretical calculations based on historical data. These figures do not account for real-world trading factors such as slippage, liquidity gaps, spread costs, or broker commissions.
• High-Risk Warning
Trading cryptocurrencies, futures, and leveraged financial products involves a substantial risk of loss. The use of leverage can amplify both gains and losses. Users acknowledge that they are solely responsible for their trading decisions and should conduct independent due diligence before executing any trades.
• Software Limitations
The software is provided "as is" without warranty. Users should be aware that market data feeds on analysis platforms may experience latency or outages, which can affect signal generation accuracy.
PSP (Precision Swing Point - CIC SMT)PSP SMT – Correlation Stages Indicator
The PSP SMT – Correlation Stages indicator is designed to identify Smart Money divergences (SMT) between correlated markets through a progressive, stage-based model.
It visually classifies price behavior into correlation stages, helping traders detect early imbalance, confirmation, and distribution phases used by institutional participants.
By comparing a primary asset with a correlated symbol, the indicator highlights loss of correlation, displacement, and confirmation signals, offering a structured framework to anticipate potential reversals or continuations within ICT-based market models.
Ideal for traders who apply ICT concepts, intermarket analysis, and liquidity-based strategies, the PSP SMT enhances timing, context, and confidence in decision-making.
15M Swing Sweep Lines + SMT (ES vs NQ)15M Swing Sweep Lines (NY Killzones)Visualize liquidity sweeps of 15-minute swing highs/lows exclusively during high-impact London & New York killzones.This ICT-inspired indicator detects when price sweeps (wicks beyond) the most recent confirmed 15-minute swing high or low — classic signs of liquidity raids or stop hunts — but only if the sweep happens during key "killzone" sessions where institutional activity is typically highest.Key Features15M Swing Detection: Uses confirmed pivot highs/lows (length 2) on the 15-minute timeframe for reliable structure points.
Killzone Filters (New York time):London Killzone: 3:00 AM – 4:59 AM
New York Killzone: 9:30 AM – 10:59 AM (captures the high-volatility NY open overlap)
Sweep Visualization:Bearish Sweep (high > last 15M swing high): Thick red horizontal line from the swing point to the sweep bar.
Bullish Sweep (low < last 15M swing low): Thick green horizontal line from the swing point to the sweep bar.
Lines use xloc.bar_time for precise placement and extend only to the bar where the sweep occurs.
No duplicates: Prevents multiple lines for the same swing sweep.
Non-repainting logic with lookahead_off for clean, trustworthy signals.
Why Killzones MatterMany ICT/SMC traders focus on these windows because they often feature aggressive manipulation, equal highs/lows sweeps, and the setup for strong directional moves. This tool helps you instantly spot when buy-side or sell-side liquidity has been raided on the 15M structure during these prime times.Ideal ForConfirming potential reversals or inducements after liquidity grabs.
Adding confluence to entries during London or NY sessions.
Futures traders (ES, NQ, etc.) looking for clean visual cues of smart money engineering.
Lightweight, overlay-friendly, and focused — add it to your chart for clearer insight into 15M liquidity sweeps when it matters most. Perfect companion for killzone-based strategies!
FX OSINT - Institutional Midnight Intelligence For ForexFX OSINT — Institutional Midnight Intelligence For Forex
See Your FX Charts Like an Intelligence Briefing, Not a Guess
If you’ve ever stared at EURUSD or GBPJPY and thought:
Where is the real liquidity?
Is this move sponsored by smart money or just noise?
Am I buying into premium or discount?
…then FX OSINT is designed for you.
FX OSINT (Forex Open Source Intelligence) treats the FX market the way an analyst treats an investigation:
Collect open‑source signals from price, time, and volatility.
Map out liquidity, structure, and sessions in a repeatable way.
Present them in a clean, non‑cluttered dashboard so you can read context quickly.
No rainbow spaghetti. No 12 indicators stacked on top of each other. Just structured information, midnight visuals, and a clear read on what the market is doing right now.
Why FX OSINT Exists
Many FX traders run into the same problems:
Overloaded charts – multiple indicators fighting for space, none talking to each other.
Signals with no context – arrows that ignore structure, sessions, and liquidity.
Tools not tuned for FX – generic indicators that don’t care what pair you are on.
FX OSINT brings this together into one FX‑focused framework that:
Understands structure : BOS/CHOCH, swings, and trend across multiple timeframes.
Respects liquidity : sweeps, order blocks, and FVGs with controlled visibility.
Reads volatility & ADR : how far today’s range has developed.
Knows the clock : London, New York, and key killzones.
Scores confluence : a 0–100 engine that summarizes how much is lining up.
FX OSINT is built for traders who want structured, institutional‑style logic with a disciplined, midnight‑themed UI —not flashing buy/sell buttons.
1. Midnight Dashboard — Top‑Right Intelligence Panel
This panel acts as your compact “situation room”:
CONFLUENCE — 0–100 score blending trend alignment, volatility regime, sessions, liquidity events, order blocks, FVGs, and ADR context.
REGIME — Low / Building / Normal / Expansion / Extreme, driven by ATR relationships, so you know if you’re in chop, trend, or expansion.
HTF / MTF / LTF TREND — Higher‑, medium‑, and current‑timeframe bias in one place, so you see if you are trading with or against the larger flow.
ADR USED — How much of today’s typical range has already been consumed in percentage terms.
PIP VALUE — Approximate pip size per pair, including JPY‑style pairs.
Everything is bold, legible, and color‑coded, but the layout stays minimal so you can:
Look once → understand the context.
2. Structure, BOS, CHOCH — Smart‑Money‑Style Skeleton
FX OSINT tracks swing highs and lows, then shows how structure evolves:
Trend logic based on evolving swings, not just a moving average cross.
BOS (Break of Structure) when price expands in the direction of trend.
CHOCH (Change of Character) when behavior flips and the market structure changes.
Labels are selective, not spammy . You don’t get a tag on every minor wiggle—only when structure meaningfully shifts, so it’s easier to answer:
"Are we continuing the current leg, or did something actually change here?"
3. Liquidity Sweeps, Order Blocks & FVGs — The OSINT Layer
FX OSINT treats liquidity as a key information layer:
Liquidity sweeps — Detects when price spikes through recent highs/lows and then snaps back, flagging potential stop runs.
Order blocks — The last opposite candle before a displacement move, drawn as controlled boxes with limited lifespan to avoid clutter.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — Three‑candle imbalances rendered as precise zones with a cap on how many can exist at once.
Under the hood, boxes are managed so your chart does not become a wall of old zones:
// Draw Order Blocks with overlap prevention
if isBullishOB and showOrderBlocks
if array.size(obBoxes) >= maxBoxes
oldBox = array.shift(obBoxes)
box.delete(oldBox)
newBox = box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index + obvLength, high ,
border_color = bullColor, bgcolor = bullColorTransp,
border_width = 2, extend = extend.none)
array.push(obBoxes, newBox)
Box limits keep the number of zones under control.
Borders and transparency are tuned so you still see price clearly.
You end up with a curated liquidity map , rather than a chart buried under every level price has ever touched.
4. Volatility, ADR & Sessions — Time and Range Intelligence
FX OSINT runs a Volatility Regime Analyzer and an ADR engine in the background:
Volatility regime — Five states (Low → Extreme) derived from fast vs. slow ATR.
ADR bands — Daily high/mid/low projected from the current daily open.
ADR used % — How far today’s move has traveled relative to its typical range.
On the time side:
Asia, London, New York sessions are softly highlighted with a single active background to avoid overlapping colors.
Killzones (e.g., London and New York opens) can be emphasized when you want to focus on where significant moves often begin.
Together, this helps you answer:
"What time is it in the trading day?"
"How stretched are we?"
"Is expansion just starting, or are we late to the move?"
5. ICT‑Style Add‑Ons — BOS/CHOCH, Premium/Discount, and Confluence
For modern FX / ICT‑inspired workflows, FX OSINT includes:
BOS / CHOCH labels — Clear structural shifts based on swings.
Premium / Discount zones — 25%, 50%, 75% levels of the daily range, so you know if you are buying discount in an uptrend or selling premium in a downtrend.
Confluence score — A single number summarizing how many conditions line up in the current context.
Instead of replacing your plan, FX OSINT compresses your checklist into the chart:
Structure
Liquidity
Session / Time
Volatility / ADR
Higher‑timeframe alignment
When these agree, the dashboard reflects it. When they don’t, it stays neutral and lets you see the conflict.
How To Use FX OSINT
FX OSINT is not a signal bot. It is an information engine that organizes context so you can apply your own plan.
A typical workflow might look like:
Start on higher timeframes (e.g., H4/D1) to form directional bias from structure, volatility regime, and ADR context.
Move to intraday timeframes (e.g., M15/H1) around your chosen sessions (London and/or New York).
Look for confluence :
HTF / MTF / LTF trends aligned.
Price in discount for longs or premium for shorts.
Recent liquidity sweep into a meaningful OB or FVG.
Confluence score at or above a level you consider significant.
Then refine entries using BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes according to your own risk and execution rules.
FX OSINT aims to make sure you do not enter a trade without seeing:
Where you are in the day (ADR and sessions).
Where you are in the volatility cycle (regime).
Who currently appears in control (structure and trend).
Which liquidity was just targeted (sweeps and zones).
Design Choices and Scope
FX OSINT was designed around a few clear constraints:
FX‑focused — Logic and filters tuned for FX majors, minors, exotics, and metals. It is intended for FX markets, not for every possible asset class.
Open‑source — The full Pine Script code is available so you can read it, learn from it, and adapt it to your own workflow if needed.
Clear themes — Two main visual styles (e.g., dark institutional “midnight” and a lighter accent variant) with a focus on readability, not visual noise.
Chart‑friendly — Panels use fixed areas, session highlights avoid overlapping, and boxes are capped/pruned so the chart remains usable.
FX OSINT is for only Forex pairs, not anything else!
Hope you enjoyed and remember your Open Source Intelligence Matters 😉!
