ORB with Range Context📌 What This Indicator Does
This indicator plots the Opening Range (OR) — the high and low established during a user-defined session window at market open — and provides context on the range's significance by comparing it to recent volatility.
After the opening range session completes, the indicator displays:
• ORB High and Low as horizontal reference levels
• Optional Midline (often acts as intraday support/resistance)
• Target projections at customizable multiples when breakout occurs
• Range Quality classification (Narrow / Normal / Wide)
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: Opening Range Capture
During the session window (default: 09:15–09:20 IST for Indian markets), the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. These become the day's Opening Range boundaries.
Step 2: Range Quality Analysis
This is where this indicator differs from standard ORB tools. It compares today's range to the instrument's Average True Range (ATR) and classifies it:
• NARROW — Range is less than 0.5× ATR
Interpretation: Price compression. The market opened in a tight range relative to recent volatility. Compression often precedes expansion — breakouts from narrow ranges can be more directional.
• NORMAL — Range is between 0.5× and 1.2× ATR
Interpretation: Typical opening behavior. Standard breakout expectations apply.
• WIDE — Range is greater than 1.2× ATR
Interpretation: The market opened with unusual volatility — possibly due to gaps, news events, or overnight developments. Wide ranges may indicate that much of the day's move has already occurred.
Step 3: Breakout Detection
A breakout is confirmed when price closes beyond the ORB High or Low (not just wicks through). The indicator tracks the first breakout direction each day.
Step 4: Target Projection
On confirmed breakout, targets are calculated using the ORB range as the measurement unit:
• Target 1 = Breakout Level ± (Range × 1.0)
• Target 2 = Breakout Level ± (Range × 1.5)
• Target 3 = Breakout Level ± (Range × 2.0)
⚙️ Settings Guide
Opening Range Settings
• ORB Session Window — Time window for capturing the range. Default: 0915-0920 (first 5 min for NSE/BSE) or 0915-10:00(first 45 mins for NSE/BSE. US Markets: 0930-0935 or 0930-0945.
• Show Midline — Toggle the range midpoint display
Target Projection
• Target 1/2/3 (x Range) — Multipliers for profit targets. Default values (1.0, 1.5, 2.0) follow classical ORB methodology.
Range Quality Analysis
• ATR Period — Lookback for ATR calculation (default: 14)
• Narrow Threshold — Ranges below this ATR multiple are classified as narrow (default: 0.5)
• Wide Threshold — Ranges above this ATR multiple are classified as wide (default: 1.2)
📈 How to Use This Indicator
1. Apply to an intraday chart (1-min to 5-min recommended)
2. Wait for the ORB session to complete — levels appear after the time window ends
3. Check Range Quality in the info panel
4. Watch for breakout confirmation — price must close beyond ORB High or Low
5. Use projected targets for trade management
💡 Practical Tips
• Narrow Range Days: Often produce cleaner breakout trades. Tight opening suggests indecision that typically resolves directionally.
• Wide Range Days: If range exceeds 1.5× ATR, consider whether the instrument has already made its daily move.
• Midline Usage: After breakout, the midline often acts as a pullback level for re-entry or confirmation.
📊 Why Range Quality Matters
Most ORB indicators plot static levels without context. A 100-point range on NIFTY might be significant on a quiet day but trivial on a volatile day.
By normalizing against ATR, this indicator answers: "Is today's opening range tight or loose relative to what this instrument normally does?"
This helps traders:
• Calibrate profit expectations
• Assess risk appropriately
• Avoid mechanical trading without market context
🔔 Alerts Available
• ORB Bullish Breakout
• ORB Bearish Breakout
• Target 1 Hit
• Target 2 Hit
⚠️ Notes
• Works on intraday timeframes only
• Best suited for liquid instruments with defined opening sessions
• Range Quality is contextual guidance, not a standalone signal
• Always use appropriate risk management
Volatilitas
ATR Momentum StatusThis indicator measures whether volatility (ATR) is increasing or decreasing, and classifies momentum strength into four clear states:
- WEAK
- STRONG
- EXPANSION
- DECREASING
It helps traders avoid fake moves and only trade when real participation enters the market, especially when used together with FVG CE Acceptance (SMC).
ATR Momentum States (Very Important)
Status Meaning Market Condition
WEAK Small ATR increase Low participation
STRONG Healthy ATR increase Real buyers/sellers entering
EXPANSION Large ATR spike Aggressive momentum / breakout
DECREASING ATR falling Momentum dying / trap risk
What This Indicator Is NOT
❌ Not a buy/sell signal
❌ Not direction bias
❌ Not entry by itself
👉 It is a trade quality filter
✅ Best Use Case (SMC / FVG Traders)
This indicator shines when combined with:
- FVG
- CE (Consequent Encroachment)
- Liquidity Sweep
- Acceptance Candle
Important Risk Filter (Golden Rule):
ATR Status Trade Quality
EXPANSION + Acceptance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Best)
STRONG + Acceptance ⭐⭐⭐⭐
WEAK + Acceptance ❌ Avoid
DECREASING ❌ No Trade
Why This Works (Conceptually):
- FVG CE acceptance = price is accepted
- ATR expansion = participation is real
- Together = institutional momentum, not retail noise

Jake's Candle by Candle UpgradedJake's Candle by Candle Upgraded
The "Story of the Market" Automated
This is not just another signal indicator. Jake's Candle by Candle Upgraded is a complete institutional trading framework designed for high-precision scalping on the 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes.
Built strictly on the principles of Al Brooks Price Action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool automates the rigorous "Candle-by-Candle" analysis used by professional floor traders. It moves beyond simple pattern recognition to read the "Story" of the market—Context, Setup, and Pressure—before ever allowing a trade.
The Philosophy: Why This Tool Was Built
Most retail traders fail for two reasons:
Getting Trapped: They enter on the first sign of a reversal (H1/L1), which is often an institutional trap.
Trading Chop: They bleed capital during low-volume, sideways markets.
This tool solves both problems with an Algorithmic Discipline Engine. It does not guess. It waits for the specific "Second Leg" criteria used by institutions and physically disables itself during dangerous market conditions.
Key Features
1. The Context Dashboard (HUD)
A professional Heads-Up Display in the top-right corner keeps you focused on the macro picture while you scalp.
FLOW: Monitors the 20-period Institutional EMA. (Green = Bull Flow, Red = Bear Flow). You are prevented from trading against the dominant trend.
STATE: A built-in "Volatility Compressor." If it says "⚠️ CHOP / RANGE", the algorithm is disabled. It protects you from overtrading during lunch hours or low-volume zones.
SETUP: Live tracking of the Al Brooks leg count. It tells you exactly when the algorithm is "Waiting for Pullback" or "Searching for Entry."
2. Smart "Trap Avoidance" Logic (H2/L2)
This tool uses the "Gold Standard" of scalping setups: The High 2 (H2) and Low 2 (L2).
It ignores the first breakout attempt (Leg 1), acknowledging it as a potential trap.
It waits for the pullback and only signals on the Second Leg, statistically increasing the probability of a successful trend resumption.
3. Volatility-Adaptive Risk Management
Stop calculating pips in your head. The moment a signal is valid, the tool draws your business plan on the chart:
Stop Loss (Red Line): Automatically placed behind the "Signal Bar" (the candle that created the setup) based on strict price action rules.
Take Profit (Green Line): Automatically projected at a 1.5 Risk-to-Reward Ratio.
Smart Adaptation: The targets expand and contract based on real-time market volatility. If the market is quiet, targets are tighter. If explosive, targets are wider.
4. The "Snap Entry" Signal
The BUY and SELL badges are not lagging. They are programmed with "Stop Entry" logic—appearing the exact moment price breaks the structure of the Signal Bar, ensuring you enter on momentum, not hope.
How to Trade Strategy
Check the HUD: Ensure FLOW matches your direction and STATE says "✅ VOLATILE".
Wait for the Badge: Do not front-run the tool. Wait for the BUY or SELL badge to print.
Set Your Orders: Once the signal candle closes:
Place your Stop Loss at the Red Line.
Place your Take Profit at the Green Line.
Walk Away: The trade is now a probability event. Let the math play out.
Technical Specifications
Engine: Pine Script v6 (Strict Compliance).
Best Timeframes: 1m, 5m.
Best Assets: Indices (NQ, ES), Gold (XAUUSD), and high-volume Crypto (BTC, ETH).
ATR Momentum Status v.2ATR Momentum Status Version 2 locked ATR Momentum Status (Bar-Close Confirmed)
In previous versions, the ATR momentum status could change intrabar while the candle was still forming. In v.2, the ATR momentum is calculated only after the candle closed and is locked until the next candle closes.
Why this matters:
Prevents repainting or intrabar flipping
Ensures what you see on the dashboard is fully confirmed
Makes replay mode and backtesting reliable
How Traders Use It:
This tool is best used as a confirmation layer, not a standalone signal. Common use cases:
- Confirming FVG / CE acceptance
- Validating displacement candles
- Filtering trades to only Strong / Expansion conditions
- Avoiding entries during weak or declining volatility
Key Concept:
Price can move without momentum, but momentum confirms intent. With the ATR status locked after candle close, v.2 ensures every ATR reading represents real, confirmed market participation, making it safer for execution-based strategies.
Aurora Volatility Bands [JOAT]Aurora Volatility Bands - Dynamic ATR-Based Envelope System
Introduction and Purpose
Aurora Volatility Bands is an open-source overlay indicator that creates multi-layered volatility envelopes around price using ATR (Average True Range) calculations. The core problem this indicator solves is that static bands (like fixed percentage envelopes) fail to adapt to changing market conditions. During high volatility, static bands are too tight; during low volatility, they're too wide.
This indicator addresses that by using ATR-based dynamic bands that automatically expand during volatile periods and contract during quiet periods, providing contextually appropriate support/resistance levels at all times.
Why These Components Work Together
The indicator combines three analytical approaches:
1. Triple-Layer Band System - Inner (1x ATR), Outer (2x ATR), and Extreme (3x ATR) bands provide graduated levels of significance
2. Volatility State Detection - Compares current ATR to historical average to classify market regime
3. Multiple MA Types - Allows customization of the center line calculation method
These components complement each other:
The triple-layer system gives traders multiple reference points - inner bands for normal moves, outer for significant moves, extreme for rare events
Volatility state detection tells you WHEN bands are expanding or contracting, helping anticipate breakouts or mean-reversion
MA type selection lets you match the indicator to your trading style (faster EMA vs smoother SMA)
How the Calculation Works
The bands are calculated using ATR multiplied by configurable factors:
float atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
float innerUpper = centerMA + (atr * innerMult)
float outerUpper = centerMA + (atr * outerMult)
float extremeUpper = centerMA + (atr * extremeMult)
Volatility state is determined by comparing current ATR percentage to its historical average:
float atrPercent = (atr / close) * 100
float avgAtrPercent = ta.sma(atrPercent, volatilityLookback)
float volatilityRatio = atrPercent / avgAtrPercent
bool isExpanding = volatilityRatio > 1.2 // 20%+ above average
bool isContracting = volatilityRatio < 0.8 // 20%+ below average
Signal Types
Band Touch - Price reaches inner, outer, or extreme bands
Mean Reversion - Price returns to center after touching outer/extreme bands
Breakout - Sustained move beyond outer bands during volatility expansion
Dashboard Information
Volatility - Current state (EXPANDING/CONTRACTING/NORMAL)
Vol Ratio - Current volatility vs average (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
ATR - Current ATR value
ATR % - ATR as percentage of price
Zone - Current price position (EXTREME HIGH/UPPER ZONE/CENTER ZONE/etc.)
Position - Price position as percentage within band structure
Width - Total band width as percentage of price
Using SMA in settings:
How to Use This Indicator
For Mean-Reversion Trading:
1. Wait for price to touch outer or extreme bands
2. Check that volatility state is NORMAL or CONTRACTING (not expanding)
3. Look for reversal candlestick patterns at the band
4. Enter toward center MA with stop beyond the band
For Breakout Trading:
1. Wait for volatility state to show EXPANDING
2. Look for price closing beyond outer bands
3. Enter in direction of breakout
4. Use the band as trailing stop reference
For Volatility Analysis:
1. Monitor volatility ratio for regime changes
2. CONTRACTING often precedes large moves (squeeze)
3. EXPANDING confirms trend strength
Using VWMA and Mean Reversion Signal/MR:
Input Parameters
ATR Period (14) - Period for ATR calculation
Inner/Outer/Extreme Multipliers (1.0/2.0/3.0) - Band distance from center
MA Type (EMA) - Center line calculation method
MA Period (20) - Period for center line
Volatility Comparison Period (20) - Lookback for volatility state
Timeframe Recommendations
15m-1H: Good for intraday mean-reversion
4H-Daily: Best for swing trading and breakout identification
Weekly: Useful for position trading and major level identification
Limitations
ATR-based bands lag during sudden volatility spikes
Mean-reversion signals can fail in strong trends
Breakout signals may whipsaw in ranging markets
Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volatility patterns

Apex ICT: Proximity & Delivery FlowSimple Description: This indicator is a specialized ICT execution tool that automates the identification of Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD). Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen, this script uses a Proximity Logic Engine to ensure you only see tradeable levels. It automatically purges old data (50-candle CISD limit) and deletes mitigated zones the moment they are breached, leaving you with a clean, institutional-grade chart.
Vdubus Momentum Lock (Overlay)The Top Indicator: "Vdubus Momentum Lock (Overlay)"
The Bottom Indicator: "Vdubus TrixStoch HMA"
Purpose: Precision timing. It shows you exactly when the pullbacks happen.
The Trigger Zones (48 / 52):
Buy Zone (Below 48): When the Blue line dips into this zone, the market is "reloading" for a buy.
Sell Zone (Above 52): When the Blue line pops into this zone, the market is "reloading" for a sell.
The Confluence Circles:
Green Dot ("Dip"): Appears only if HMA is Green AND Trix is Rising. This filters out bad buy signals during downtrends.
Red Dot ("Rally"): Appears only if HMA is Red AND Trix is Falling. This filters out bad sell signals during uptrends.
3. The Strategy:
A. Entry Logic (The Sniper)
Trend Check: Is HMA 100 Green or Red?
Momentum Check: Is TRIX 34 agreeing with the HMA?
Trigger:
Buy: Stoch K crosses under 48.
Sell: Stoch K crosses over 52.
Pulse Re-Entry: If Trix momentum was lost briefly but snaps back into alignment, re-enter immediately (even without a Stoch signal).
B. Exit Logic (The Safety)
Momentum Exit: If the TRIX slope flips against you (e.g., you are Long, but Trix turns down), CLOSE IMMEDIATELY.
Hard Deck (HMA Flip): If the HMA line changes color, CLOSE EVERYTHING. This is the emergency brake.
BOS/CHoCH Impulsive Move Detector #12Updated exit logic to measure at candle close vs candle wicks. Added session PnL/hr and implemented a FAST identifier that tracks impulse moves >= 10% <=3 hrs.
Stock School IRL & ERLThis indicator is designed to help traders clearly identify liquidity levels on the chart using IRL (Internal Range Liquidity) and ERL (External Range Liquidity).
Liquidity is where the market is attracted.
Price does not move randomly — it moves from one liquidity pool to another.
With this indicator, you can:
• Visually mark IRL (internal liquidity resting inside the range)
• Identify ERL (external liquidity above highs & below lows)
• Understand where Smart Money targets stops
• Anticipate liquidity sweeps, fake breakouts, and reversals
• Improve entries, exits, and trade patience
This tool helps you stop guessing and start reading market intent.
Best used with:
Price Action
Market Structure
Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
Works across:
Stocks • Indices • Forex • Crypto
⚠️ This indicator does not give buy/sell signals.
It provides context, so you trade with logic, not emotions.
If you understand liquidity,
you understand where the market is going next.
Percentile-Based BB% Trend - MattesOverview
The Percentile-Based BB% Trend is a robust momentum oscillator that reimagines the classic Bollinger %B indicator using percentile-based bands and median absolute deviation (MAD). Instead of relying on a simple moving average and standard deviation (which can be heavily influenced by outliers), this version builds dynamic bands from the 25th and 75th percentiles of price, creating a noise-resistant framework for measuring where the current price sits relative to its recent distribution.
How It’s Calculated
Percentile Smoothing : 25th percentile (lower boundary) and 75th percentile (upper boundary) of the selected source.
Basis Line : Midpoint between the 25th and 75th percentiles as a robust central measure.
Robust Volatility : Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) multiplied by a user-defined factor to set band width.
PBB% Value : (Price - Lower Band) / (Band Width), then shifted so the midline is at 0.
Trend Line : Light EMA smoothing applied to the raw value and displayed as colored columns.
How It Differs From Traditional %B
Uses 25th/75th percentiles + MAD instead of SMA + standard deviation → far less sensitive to outliers.
More adaptive to real-world skewed price distributions.
Stronger noise filtering while staying responsive to genuine momentum.
Why It’s Useful
Reduced false signals in choppy or spiky markets
Clear view of momentum strength and price extension
Persistent readings above/below 0 indicate sustained bullish/bearish control
Excellent as a trend-strength filter across all asset classes and timeframes
Application Examples
Trend Confirmation – Midline (0) crossovers confirm direction when paired with trend-following tools.
Overextension Warnings – Extreme readings signal potential exhaustion.
Momentum Filtering – Avoid entries when oscillator shows weak or overstretched conditions.
Divergence Hunting – Spot price making new highs/lows while oscillator fails to confirm.
Great inventions require greate care!
Not a Standalone Strategy: This indicator is designed as a complementary tool and should always be combined with other forms of analysis (price action, volume, higher-timeframe trend, or additional indicators).Potential Lags in Explosive Moves: The robust calculations and smoothing can slightly delay signals during very strong trends.Parameter Sensitivity: Optimal length and multiplier vary by market and timeframe — backtesting is essential.No indicator guarantees profits; past performance is not indicative of future results.
This indicator builds directly on the foundation of the Percentile-Based Bollinger Bands - Mattes, extending its robust methodology into oscillator form for deeper momentum analysis.Shoutout to all my Masterclass Brothers and L4 Gs!

Quantum RCI FusionDescription:
Overview: The Quantum Momentum Engine Quantum RCI Fusion is a sophisticated momentum oscillator designed to solve the #1 problem of classic indicators: false signals in sideways markets. At the core of this script is the Rank Correlation Index (RCI), a powerful statistical tool based on Spearman’s correlation. Unlike RSI or Stochastic which only look at price levels, the RCI evaluates the "quality" of a trend by measuring the temporal correlation of price ranks.
This script is not just a line drawing: it is a complete trading ecosystem that fuses three RCI timeframes, volatility filters, and a real-time Risk Management simulation.
🛠 How It Works: The "Fusion" Logic
The strength of this indicator lies in the synergy between its components. It is not a simple mashup, but a filtered logical system:
Triple RCI Engine (Fast, Mid, Slow):
Fast (13) & Mid (18): These generate the Crossover signal for precise entry timing.
Slow (30) - The "Trend Shield": The true innovation. It acts as a directional shield; if the baseline is bullish, the script protects Long positions by ignoring premature exit signals, allowing you to ride the full trend.
HMA Smoothing: Raw price data passes through a Hull Moving Average before the RCI calculation. This drastically reduces market "noise" without sacrificing the responsiveness typical of the RCI.
Intelligent Filters (Anti-Whipsaw):
ADX Integration: Signals are blocked if the ADX is below the threshold (default 20), preventing trading in flat/ranging markets.
Momentum Impulse: Requires a minimum variation (Delta) in the RCI to confirm that the move has real drive and is not just random fluctuation.
🛡 Risk Management & Simulation
Since timing is useless without risk management, Quantum RCI Fusion includes a Dashboard and sophisticated exit logic:
Multiple Exits:
Take Profit / Stop Loss: Based on dynamic ATR multipliers.
Shield Break: Safety exit if the underlying trend (Slow RCI) changes direction.
Emergency: Immediate close if momentum sharply reverses across the zero line.
Live Dashboard: Monitors Win Rate, virtual PnL, and Trade Status (Long/Short/Scanning) in real-time directly on the chart, removing the need for external backtesters.
🚀 How to Use It
Setup: Add the script to a separate pane below your price chart.
Entry Signals:
LONG (Green Triangle): RCI Fast crosses Mid upwards + Oversold Zone (< -80) + ADX > 20 + Bullish Shield.
SHORT (Red Triangle): RCI Fast crosses Mid downwards + Overbought Zone (> 80) + ADX > 20 + Bearish Shield.
Customization:
Scalping: Reduce RCI lengths (e.g., 8/12/20) and disable the "Trend Shield" for quick entries and exits.
Swing Trading: Keep defaults and use the ATR Trailing logic to manage positions on H4 or Daily timeframes.
⚖️ Notes & Credits
Originality: This script enhances the standard RCI by implementing Array-based calculations (optimized for Pine v6), proprietary HMA smoothing, and unique "Trend Shield" logic.
Open Source: The code is released under the MPL 2.0 license. Credits to the Pine community for the foundational mathematical formulas of Spearman's correlation.
Disclaimer: The statistics shown in the dashboard are simulations based on live data and do not guarantee future profits. You are responsible for your own trading decisions.
🖼 Instructions for the Publication Chart (Preview)
To ensure your script gets approved and attracts users, follow these steps for the cover image:
Symbol: Use a volatile and liquid asset, e.g., BTCUSD or XAUUSD (Gold), on a 1H or 4H timeframe.
Clean Layout: Remove all other indicators from the chart (no Moving Averages on price, no Bollinger Bands). The focus must be solely on your script in the bottom pane.
Visualization:
Ensure the Dashboard (stats table) is clearly visible and does not obscure the most recent candle.
The chart should show at least one clear BUY and one clear SELL signal, ideally with the exit icons (the "X" or flags) visible to demonstrate the exit logic.
Apex ICT Delivery & Session Flow ProDescription
The Apex ICT Delivery & Session Flow Pro is a high-precision technical analysis indicator designed for inner-circle traders who prioritize a clean, institutional-grade chart. This script specializes in identifying real-time liquidity levels and displacement zones while utilizing an automated "Cleanup Engine" to ensure that only the most relevant, unmitigated data remains visible.
Core Functionalities
Multi-Timeframe Displacement Engine: The script scans across multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1H) to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created by high-displacement price action. It automatically plots the FVG boxes and the 50% Consequent Encroachment (CE) line for precise entry and target mapping.
Dynamic Session Liquidity: Automatically identifies and tracks the Highs and Lows of the Asia, London, and New York sessions. These levels are explicitly labeled and extended to act as magnet levels for price or points of liquidity reversal.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Visualizes shifts in order flow by marking the opening prices of the last opposite candle when price action confirms a change in delivery state. This provides immediate visual feedback on market sentiment shifts.
NY-Specific VWAP: Features a strict New York Session VWAP that resets daily at the NY open (08:00). This serves as the "Mean" for the session, helping traders identify premium and discount zones specifically within the high-volume New York hours.
The "Clean Chart" Cleanup Engine: Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen with historical data, this script features an intelligent removal system:
FVGs & Order Blocks: Automatically deleted once price trades through them or if they move too far from current price (Proximity Filter).
Broken Session Levels: Highs and Lows are instantly removed once they are breached by price.
Temporal Decay: CISD markers are automatically cleared after 20 candles to keep the focus on immediate delivery.

Momentum Concepts | Baseline Strategy 📊 Momentum Concepts | Baseline Strategy
Momentum Concepts | Baseline Strategy is a rule-based momentum framework designed to identify directional bias during active market hours and participate in sustained intraday price movement.
The strategy focuses on momentum behavior relative to a neutral reference level, allowing it to adapt dynamically to changing market conditions while avoiding unnecessary trades during indecisive phases.
🔹 Core Philosophy
This strategy is built around the concept that momentum alignment is more important than raw price movement.
Trades are taken only when momentum shows clear directional intent and remains aligned with the prevailing market bias.
Rather than reacting to short-term fluctuations, the strategy emphasizes continuation and structural momentum flow.
🔹 Market Behavior Classification
At any given time, the market is internally classified into one of the following states:
Positive Momentum Phase – Favoring long exposure
Negative Momentum Phase – Favoring short exposure
Neutral Phase – No new exposure
Only one directional bias is active at a time.
Internal momentum calculations, smoothing logic, and reference mechanics are intentionally abstracted.
🔹 Trade Execution Logic (High-Level)
Positions may initiate at the start of the trading session if momentum bias is already established
During the session, trades continue only when directional alignment remains valid
Opposing signals result in directional transition rather than over-trading
No discretionary or manual intervention required
🔹 Built-In Controls
Date-based trade activation filter
Session-based execution window
Optional bar-close confirmation to avoid intrabar noise
Fully rule-driven and non-repainting behavior
🔹 Ideal Use Case
Designed primarily for intraday index and derivative markets
Performs best during directional or momentum-driven sessions
May remain flat or switch bias during low-momentum conditions
🔹 Risk & Usage Notes
Position sizing and capital allocation depend on user configuration
Backtesting on the intended instrument and timeframe is strongly recommended
Performance may vary across volatility regimes and market environments

15-Minute Squeeze Scalper (Traffic Light Edition)Overview This is a highly optimized version of the famous Squeeze Momentum Indicator, customized specifically for 15-minute scalping .
While the original indicator is powerful, the default colors can be confusing for new traders. I have recoded this to function as a simple "Traffic Light" system to help you identify periods of inaction vs. periods of high-probability breakouts.
How it Works This tool identifies when the market is "quiet" (low volatility) and getting ready to explode. It uses Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to measure this energy.
The "Traffic Light" Visuals
🔴 RED Cross (Center Line): STOP / WAIT
Meaning: The Squeeze is ON. The market is coiling tight.
Action: Do not trade yet. Wait for the energy to release. The longer the line of red dots, the bigger the potential move.
🟢 GREEN Cross (Center Line): GO / ACTION
Meaning: The Squeeze has FIRED. Volatility is expanding.
Action: Look at the Histogram to determine the direction of the trade.
📊 Histogram Bars:
Lime/Green: Bullish Momentum (Trade Long).
Red/Maroon: Bearish Momentum (Trade Short).
The 15-Minute Scalping Strategy
Identify the Squeeze: Look for a series of Red Crosses on the zero line.
Wait for the Fire: Wait for the first Green Cross to appear.
Confirm Direction:
If the Cross turns Green AND the Histogram is above zero: LONG.
If the Cross turns Green AND the Histogram is below zero: SHORT.
Alerts Included I have added custom alerts so you don't have to stare at the screen:
"Squeeze Fired": Alerts you instantly when the Red Cross changes to Green.
"Momentum Long/Short": Alerts you when momentum flips direction.
NY Open Candle IndicatorThe NY Open Candle Indicator identifies significant opening range activity at the New York stock market open.

Enjoy!
Adaptive Trend Envelope [BackQuant]Adaptive Trend Envelope
Overview
Adaptive Trend Envelope is a volatility-aware trend-following overlay designed to stay responsive in fast markets while remaining stable during slower conditions. It builds a dynamic trend spine from two exponential moving averages and surrounds it with an adaptive envelope whose width expands and contracts based on realized return volatility. The result is a clean, self-adjusting trend structure that reacts to market conditions instead of relying on fixed parameters.
This indicator is built to answer three core questions directly on the chart:
Is the market trending or neutral?
If trending, in which direction is the dominant pressure?
Where is the dynamic trend boundary that price should respect?
Core trend spine
At the heart of the indicator is a blended trend spine:
A fast EMA captures short-term responsiveness.
A slow EMA captures structural direction.
A volatility-based blend weight dynamically shifts influence between the two.
When short-term volatility is low relative to long-term volatility, the fast EMA has more influence, keeping the trend responsive. When volatility rises, the blend shifts toward the slow EMA, reducing noise and preventing overreaction. This blended output is then smoothed again to form the final trend spine, which acts as the structural backbone of the system.
Volatility-adaptive envelope
The envelope surrounding the trend spine is not based on ATR or fixed percentages. Instead, it is derived from:
Log returns of price.
An exponentially weighted variance estimate.
A configurable multiplier that scales envelope width.
This creates bands that automatically widen during volatile expansions and tighten during compression. The envelope therefore reflects the true statistical behavior of price rather than an arbitrary distance.
Inner hysteresis band
Inside the main envelope, an inner band is constructed using a hysteresis fraction. This inner zone is used to stabilize regime transitions:
It prevents rapid flipping between bullish and bearish states.
It allows trends to persist unless price meaningfully invalidates them.
It reduces whipsaws in sideways conditions.
Trend regime logic
The indicator operates with three regime states:
Bullish
Bearish
Neutral
Regime changes are confirmed using a configurable number of bars outside the adaptive envelope:
A bullish regime is confirmed when price closes above the upper envelope for the required number of bars.
A bearish regime is confirmed when price closes below the lower envelope for the required number of bars.
A trend exits back to neutral when price reverts through the trend spine.
This structure ensures that trends are confirmed by sustained pressure rather than single-bar spikes.
Active trend line
Once a regime is active, the indicator plots a single dominant trend line:
In a bullish regime, the lower envelope becomes the active trend support.
In a bearish regime, the upper envelope becomes the active trend resistance.
In neutral conditions, price itself is used as a placeholder.
This creates a simple, actionable visual reference for trend-following decisions.
Directional energy visualization
The indicator uses layered fills to visualize directional pressure:
Bullish energy fills appear when price holds above the active trend line.
Bearish energy fills appear when price holds below the active trend line.
Opacity gradients communicate strength and persistence rather than binary states.
A subtle “rim” effect is added using ATR-based offsets to give depth and reinforce the active side of the trend without cluttering the chart.
Signals and trend starts
Discrete signals are generated only when a new trend regime begins:
Buy signals appear at the first confirmed transition into a bullish regime.
Sell signals appear at the first confirmed transition into a bearish regime.
Signals are intentionally sparse. They are designed to mark regime shifts, not every pullback or continuation, making them suitable for higher-quality trend entries rather than frequent trading.
Candle coloring
Optional candle coloring reinforces regime context:
Bullish regimes tint candles toward the bullish color.
Bearish regimes tint candles toward the bearish color.
Neutral states remain visually muted.
This allows the chart to communicate trend state even when the envelope itself is partially hidden or de-emphasized.
Alerts
Built-in alerts are provided for key trend events:
Bull trend start.
Bear trend start.
Transition from trend to neutral.
Price crossing the trend spine.
These alerts support hands-off trend monitoring across multiple instruments and timeframes.
How to use it for trend following
Trend identification
Only trade in the direction of the active regime.
Ignore counter-trend signals during confirmed trends.
Entry alignment
Use the first regime signal as a structural entry.
Use pullbacks toward the active trend line as continuation opportunities.
Trend management
As long as price respects the active envelope boundary, the trend remains valid.
A move back through the spine signals loss of trend structure.
Market filtering
Periods where the indicator remains neutral highlight non-trending environments.
This helps avoid forcing trades during chop or compression.
Adaptive Trend Envelope is designed to behave like a living trend structure. Instead of forcing price into static rules, it adapts to volatility, confirms direction through sustained pressure, and presents trend information in a clean, readable form that supports disciplined trend-following workflows.
Laguerre RSI (Fractals Energy) [v6]This write-up explores the **Laguerre RSI (LRSI)**, a sophisticated technical indicator pioneered by **John F. Ehlers**. Unlike the standard RSI, which often suffers from "lag" or excessive noise, the Laguerre RSI uses a four-pole filter to provide a smoother, more responsive curve that stays in overbought or oversold zones longer during strong trends.
The following analysis focuses on the interplay between the **Alpha (Gamma)** and the **Gamma Bandwidth**, specifically looking for "Alpha Exceeding" events to identify market coiling and exhaustion.
---
## 1. The Core Concept: Ehlers’ Laguerre Transform
Traditional indicators use a fixed look-back period (e.g., 14 periods). John Ehlers introduced the Laguerre Transform to allow for a more efficient way of filtering data using a very small amount of data.
In the provided code, the key variable is **Alpha** (derived from **Fractals Energy/Gamma**). This value determines the "speed" of the indicator.
* **Low Alpha:** High damping, smoother but slower.
* **High Alpha:** Low damping, faster and more reactive.
---
## 2. The Gamma Bandwidth: Coiling and Energy
The "Gamma Band" (the purple shaded area in your script, typically between and ) represents the "neutral" zone for market fractal energy.
### Market Coiling (Compression)
When the **Alpha (Gamma) line** climbs **above the Gamma Upper Bound** (e.g., ):
* This indicates the market is moving into a state of **high fractal efficiency** or "straight-line" movement.
* However, when Alpha is pinned high, it often signals **Coiling**. The market is burning through its energy efficiently, but it is reaching a state of "ordered" exhaustion.
* **The Interpretation:** The price is trending strongly, but the lack of "chaos" suggests a trend maturity is approaching.
### Alpha Exceeding the Bands (Exhaustion)
When the Alpha line spikes significantly outside the bands while the LRSI line (blue or pink) is pinned at the extremes (1.0 or 0.0), we observe **Exhaustion**.
* **Bullish Exhaustion:** LRSI is (Blue) and Alpha exceeds the upper band. The trend is so efficient that it has no room left to accelerate. A "reversion to the mean" or a period of "choppiness" (increasing fractal chaos) is likely.
* **Bearish Exhaustion:** LRSI is (Pink) and Alpha exceeds the upper band. This shows a vertical drop that is unsustainable in the long term.
---
## 3. Signal Mechanics: The "Hook"
The most potent signal occurs when the Alpha line begins to **descend back into the Gamma Bandwidth** while the LRSI line crosses the OB/OS levels.
| Signal Component | Market Condition | Actionable Insight |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Alpha > 0.59** | High Efficiency / Coiling | Trend is strong, but watch for the "bend." |
| **Alpha < 0.41** | High Complexity / Choppiness | Market is trendless; energy is being stored for the next move. |
| **LRSI Cross < 0.8** | Bearish Reversal | Trend exhaustion confirmed; exit longs or enter shorts. |
| **LRSI Cross > 0.2** | Bullish Reversal | Mean reversion confirmed; exit shorts or enter longs. |
---
## 4. Summary of the Methodology
By integrating **Fractals Energy** (Gamma) directly into the Alpha of the Laguerre RSI, this version of Ehlers’ work allows the indicator to adapt its own speed based on the market’s complexity.
When Alpha exceeds the bands, it is a warning that the "clean" move is coming to an end. The market is "coiled" tight; the subsequent break back into the purple band signifies that the trend has lost its linear efficiency and is returning to a state of chaos—often resulting in a price reversal or significant consolidation.
