This indicator identifies high-probability buy setups by combining key technical concepts. It detects a reclaimed demand zone (a significant low that was broken and reclaimed), confirms bullish market structure breaks (MSB), ensures the price is above the 9 and 21 EMAs, and looks for volume spikes or trends.
Key Features:
Plots a demand zone (blue box) based on a reclaimed low.
Signals long entries (green triangles) when conditions align: reclaimed demand zone, MSB, price above EMAs, and volume confirmation.
Includes EMA 9 (blue) and EMA 21 (aqua) for trend confirmation.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and look for green triangles below candles as buy signals. Ensure the price interacts with the demand zone, breaks market structure, and shows volume confirmation. Works best on daily or higher timeframes for assets like ONDO, BTC, and more.
Settings:
Short EMA Length: 9
Mid EMA Length: 21
Pivot Lookback for Demand Zone: 5
Zone Lookback for Demand: 90
Volume Lookback: 20
OA - Price Magnet Zones Price Magnet Zones Indicator
Overview
The Price Magnet Zones indicator identifies special price levels that have a high statistical probability of being revisited by price in the future.
It works by detecting candles with specific formation characteristics - those without top or bottom wicks - which often signify important market levels that price tends to return to.
Key Features
Automated Detection: Identifies special candle formations automatically and draws horizontal lines at these levels
Dynamic Management Removes lines once price touches them or when they exceed the lookback period
Statistical Analysis: Tracks touch rates and average time until price returns to these levels
Clean Visual Interface: Shows only untouched levels for a clear chart view
How It Works
The indicator detects two specific types of candle formations:
Bullish Levels: Candles with no bottom wick (open = low) that close higher
Bearish Levels: Candles with no top wick (open = high) that close lowe
These formations often represent hidden liquidity zones or order blocks where price tends to return. The indicator draws horizontal lines at these levels and tracks whether price revisits them.
Statistics Tracking
The indicator maintains comprehensive statistics about the detected levels:
Total Levels: Number of bullish, bearish, and total levels detected
Touched Levels: Number of levels that price has returned to touch
Touch Rate: Percentage of levels that have been touched by price
Average Touch Time: Average number of bars until price touches each level type
Trading Applications
These hidden levels can be valuable for:
Identifying potential support and resistance zones
Finding entry and exit points for trades
Setting stop loss levels
Determining price targets
Confirming other technical signals
Settings
Max Bars to Track: Maximum number of bars to keep tracking a level (default: 500)
Line Thickness: Visual thickness of the horizontal lines (1-4)
Line Color: Color of the horizontal lines
Min Candles Before Check: Number of candles to wait before including touches in statistics (default: 3)
Show Statistics: Toggle statistics table display
Usage Tips
The statistics only count touches that occur after the specified minimum number of candles have passed, providing more meaningful data
Higher touch rates indicate stronger magnetic properties of these levels
The average touch time can help with timing expectations for trades
These levels work across various timeframes and markets
For best results, use alongside other technical analysis tools
This indicator does not provide trading signals but offers valuable insights into hidden market structure that can enhance your trading strategy.
Swing Highs and Lows between two InstrumentsThis Indicator will show you common Swing Points between two different trading symbols.
You can also use it to display the Swing Points of the current symbol or another symbol only.
When applying the Indicator to your chart it will ask you to put in a symbol. This symbol is used to find common Swing Points against the symbol that you have on your screen. Should you decide not to choose any symbol the indicator will instead mark all Swing Points for the current symbol.
Settings
Symbol: Choose any symbol that you want to compare to the selected symbol on your screen.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity defines how many candles left and right of a Swing Point have to be below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low) in order for the Indicator to mark it. A lower sensitivity will give a lot more Swing points, whereas a higher sensitivity will show less, but more important Swing Points.
Equal Highs Permissible: When calculating where a Swing Point is you can decide how you want equal highs and equal lows to be handled. The default is set to "yes" which means equal highs will be counted as if they were below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low). Choosing "no" will alter the indicators behaviour and only mark a Swing Point if all values within the sensitivity are below (Swing High) or above (Swing Low). As equal highs/lows are not below/above the Swing Point, but at the same level it will not mark the Swing Point.
Options:
You can choose to display Swing Highs and Lows for each symbol individually as well as Common Swing Points, which is the default. If you choose to display different Swing Points at the same time the visual order of importance is the following: common Swing Points > current symbol Swing Points > second symbol Swing Points.
You can also change the symbols and colors that mark the Swing Points or restrict the timeframes that the Indicator works on.
Session Open Lines [iFarsheed]Overview:
The "Session Open Lines " indicator is mainly designed for Al Brooks Price Action traders using 5-minute charts, particularly during the NYSE session. It marks Tokyo, London, and NYSE session open/close times with dashed lines and optional labels to help you analyze session-based price movements.
Features:
Session Marking:

NYSE session can be split into two or three parts for detailed analysis (e.g., Morning/Afternoon or Open/Middle/Close).
Optional Labels:
Displays labels (e.g., "Tokyo Open", "NYSE Close") below the chart to clearly identify session boundaries.
Labels can be toggled on or off for a cleaner chart view.
Customizable Display:
Choose which sessions to display and customize line colors to match your chart setup
How to Use:
Customize Settings:
Enable or disable specific sessions (Tokyo, London, NYSE) based on your trading focus.
Adjust line colors to ensure visibility against your chart background.
Toggle session labels on or off depending on your chart type (e.g., disable for RTH charts)
Analyze Session Boundaries:
Use the dashed lines to identify session open/close times and analyze price action around these key moments.

Informed Decision Making:
Leverage session boundaries to spot potential price action setups, such as breakouts or reversals, especially during the NYSE session
Important Note:
Due to Pine Script limitations (max 500 lines), if all sessions are enabled, lines are drawn for the past 5 days. Selecting fewer sessions allows more days to be displayed.
Lines are drawn only up to the current time; future session lines (e.g., NYSE Close) won't appear until the session ends.
For RTH charts, use only the NYSE session. It’s recommended to disable labels in RTH mode, as NYSE Open and Close lines are close together and labels may overlap.
Future Updates:
This indicator is just the beginning! Exciting new features are on the way to make your price action analysis even more powerful—stay tuned for updates!

DRT - Dynamic Range Indicator [TraderVlad]Dynamic Range Theory (DRT) Indicator
Decode Market Structure with Precision
Overview
Welcome to the Dynamic Range Theory (DRT), a revolutionary approach to price action analysis that transforms market chaos into a structured, actionable roadmap.
Say goodbye to confusing candlestick patterns and hello to a visually intuitive system that highlights range expansion , volume compression , and volatility squeezes .
The DRT Indicator empowers traders to anticipate breakouts, spot stealth accumulation, and ride momentum.
DRT structures price action into four key constructs:
Main Ranges: Bold candles igniting market momentum.
Inside Range Candles: Gray candles signaling consolidation within a range.
Inside Candles Below Average Volume: Pink candles marking silent accumulation.
Tight Closes: Vibrant markers of volatility contraction, priming explosive moves.
This indicator is your lens to decode the market’s hidden rhythm, making complex price action simple and tradable.
How It Works
The DRT Indicator visually organizes price action with color-coded candles and customizable settings:
Main Ranges (Blue): Identifies breakout candles that set the market’s structural foundation, displayed as blue.
Inside Range Candles (Gray): Highlights candles with closes within the Main Range, signaling momentum consolidation. Perfect for spotting setups in the simplified DRT Inside Ranges variant, where ranges with a main candle plus gray candles are marked.
Inside Candles Below Average Volume: Flags candles within the Main Range with volume below a 50-period SMA, indicating volume compression—a sign of stealth positioning by smart money.
Tight Closes (Pink): Marks non-main candles with ranges less than 60% of the 14-period ATR, highlighting volatility squeezes ready to erupt.

Usage: Buy when the EMA20 crosses above the SMA50 (green arrow appears) and volume is high (dark green candles). Sell when the EMA20 crosses below the SMA50 (red arrow). Set alerts for real-time notifications.
Scalping with Custom Price Alerts:
Scenario: A day trader monitors Tesla (TSLA) on a 5-minute chart and wants alerts at specific support/resistance levels.
Setup:
Set Custom Buy Alert Price to 150.00 (support) and Custom Sell Alert Price to 160.00 (resistance).
Use “labelup” for buy signals and “labeldown” for sell signals.
Keep Moving Average Crossover as “None” to focus on price alerts.
Usage: Receive a sound alert and label when TSLA crosses 150.00 (buy) or 160.00 (sell). Use volume-colored candles to confirm momentum before entering trades.
When NOT to Use Easy MA Signals
High-Frequency Trading: Reason: The indicator relies on moving averages and volume, which may lag in ultra-fast markets (e.g., sub-second trades). High-frequency traders may need specialized tools with real-time tick data.
Alternative: Use order book or market depth indicators for faster execution.
Low-Volatility or Sideways Markets:
Reason: MA crossovers and custom price alerts can generate false signals in choppy, range-bound markets, leading to whipsaws.
Alternative: Use oscillators like RSI or Bollinger Bands to trade within ranges.
This indicator is tailored more towards less experienced traders. And as always, paper trade until you are comfortable with how this works if you're unfamiliar with trading! We hope you enjoy this and have great success. Thanks for your interested in Easy MA Signals!
SAR Pullback By TradingConTotoName & Version
SAR Pullback UX Improved (Pine Script v5)
Core Logic
Calculates two EMAs (fast and slow) to identify overall trend direction.
Uses the Parabolic SAR to detect “flip” points (when SAR crosses price), marking micro-trend reversals.
Micro-Trend Extremes
Tracks the highest high after a bullish flip (SAR below price) and the lowest low after a bearish flip (SAR above price).
These extremes feed into the stop-loss approximation.
Approximate Stop-Loss (“SL aprox”)
If SAR is below price (bullish), SL ≔ (micro-trend high − current SAR).
If SAR is above price (bearish), SL ≔ (current SAR − micro-trend low).
Leverage Calculation
User-defined “UR in USD” input.
Computes leverage as UR ÷ SL, giving you an estimate of position sizing potential.
On-Chart Signals
BUY label at each bullish flip, with SL and leverage printed.
SELL label at each bearish flip, likewise showing SL and leverage.
Customizable UI
Inputs to toggle display of SL, leverage, or both.
Choose your UR value, panel background/text colors, and BUY/SELL label colors.
Panel position fixed at top-right by default, showing a 2×3 table:
Header row (“Metric” / “Value”)
“SL aprox” row
“Leverage” row
Visuals
Plots the slow EMA colored by trend.
Draws SAR as crosses.
Bar colors shade green/red according to bullish/bearish conditions.
Semi-transparent, styled panel for quick glance of key metrics.
This indicator combines trend filtering, automated stop-loss sizing, and leverage guidance into a single, fully-configurable Pine Script tool—giving you clear on-chart signals plus a neat metrics panel for streamlined decision-making.
HTF 6H Visualiser for 30M - ADK - W
HTF 6H Visualiser — use on 30-minute charts
Purpose – lets 30-minute traders see the prior 6-hour candle’s range, open and close without changing time-frames.
Visual elements
Two dotted vertical lines mark the 6-hour candle’s start and an “early” finish one 30-min bar before the true close (avoids overlap).
Vertical colour: green for bullish 6 H close, red for bearish.
Dotted green horizontal at the 6 H open, red horizontal at the 6 H close – both drawn only between the two verticals.
Verticals are clipped to that candle’s exact high and low.
Data window – auto-deletes oldest guides so only ~2 trading days (8 candles) remain on the chart.
Typical uses – mean-reversion to 6 H opens/closes, quick HTF bias check, liquidity-grab targets.
Correction Candle CounterIndicator that identifies “correction” candles using the classic 3-1-3 pattern, highlights them with customizable colors and arrow markers, and tallies occurrences across all data, a selected year, or any defined month range. Flexible styling and date-filter options make it ideal for quick, focused analysis.
Volume Aggression Monitor📌 Volume Aggression Monitor — Overview
This indicator helps identify buying and selling pressure (aggression) in real-time by analyzing how market participants are executing trades. It is composed of three main components:
🔍 What Does It Show?
🧭 1. The Thermometer (Above Candles)
🟢 Green Arrow (▲) → Buy Aggression: Buyers are lifting the ask.
🔴 Red Arrow (▼) → Sell Aggression: Sellers are hitting the bid.
⚪ Gray Square (■) → Neutral: No significant price movement or aggression.
💡 Neutral in this context means:
The price barely moved during the candle (open-close % change < direction_threshold, default 0.05%).
No clear buyer or seller dominance. It often appears during low volatility, equilibrium, or market indecision periods. This prevents noise and false directional readings due to random micro-movements.
📊 2. Percentage Panel
A table displaying recent trades or candle data (from a lower timeframe). Colored arrows indicate the direction of aggression (buy/sell). Shows volume, delta, and aggression %.
✅ Use it to:
Track clusters of buy/sell aggression. Spot momentum builds.
⏱️ 3. Cumulative Times & Sales Bar
A horizontal progress bar representing cumulative aggression.
Positive = Buy Aggression dominates.
Negative = Sell Aggression dominates.
📉 Even in sideways price movement, this bar shows who is winning the fight under the surface.
---
🧠 How to Use It:
🔹 Confirm Trades
Use the thermometer and aggression signals to confirm your strategy entries (e.g., breakouts, pullbacks, support/resistance).
🔹 Detect Dominance
Observe who is in control: buyers or sellers? Are they pressing or hesitating?
🔹 Filter Market Noise
The neutral state avoids misinterpreting small, meaningless movements as strong signals.

Component | Meaning
🌡️ Thermometer (▲ ▼ ■) | Who’s in control in each candle
📊 Percentage Panel | Trade details: direction, delta, aggression
📈 Cumulative T&S Bar | Overall aggression bias over time

Vacuum Candles [XrayAlgo]The Vacuum Candles indicator helps traders identify inefficient price movements—where the price moves significantly but lacks sufficient volume to support it. These inefficiencies may signal weak trends, potential reversals, or false breakouts/breakdowns.
Inefficient candles are visually marked with a darker / black body to indicate when the price movement is disproportionate to the volume.
1. Spotting Potential Reversals
When the indicator marks an inefficient candle, it signals that the price movement may be unsustainable.
In an uptrend: A inefficient bullish candle suggests that the uptrend is losing momentum, potentially leading to a downward reversal.
In a downtrend: A inefficient bearish candle signals that the downtrend may be weakening, with a potential bullish reversal.
2. Identifying Breakout and Breakdown Failures
This indicator is useful for recognizing false breakouts or false breakdowns.
If price breaks resistance but the candle is inefficient, the breakout may be weak and could fail quickly.
If price breaks support with an inefficient bearish candle, the breakdown could be a false signal, with price reverting back above support.
3. Recognizing Weak Trends
Inefficient candles help you spot when a trend is losing strength and could soon reverse or consolidate.
In an uptrend: A series of dark body bullish candles suggests that the uptrend may be weakening, signaling a potential correction or trend reversal.
In a downtrend: A series of dark body bearish candles suggests that the selling pressure is weakening, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
4. Fine-Tuning Entries and Exits
Inefficient candles offer an opportunity to fine-tune your entries and exits based on weak price moves.
Entering a trade: An inefficient candle near key support or resistance can indicate a reversal, making it a good entry point for a counter-trend position.
Exiting a trade: If you're already in a trend, and an inefficient candle appears, it suggests the trend is losing strength, indicating it may be a good time to exit before a potential reversal.
5. Fine-Tuning with Inputs
The Vacuum Candles indicator includes two key inputs:
Length: The number of candles used to calculate the average price movement and volume. A longer length (e.g., 20-30) smooths out the inefficiencies, while a shorter length (e.g., 10-15) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price moves.
Multiplier: Controls the threshold for what is considered an inefficient candle:
A higher Multiplier (e.g., 1.5–3) filters out smaller inefficiencies and focuses on large discrepancies.
A lower Multiplier (e.g., 0.1–0.9) captures even smaller inefficiencies in highly efficient markets.

HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.
Engulfing Candle with Streaks and CountIdentifies Engulfing Candles + The Number of Consecutive Signals + Identifies 3rd/4th Consecutive Signals + Keeps Count of Most Recent Number of Signals as Decided by User.
- Have coded in the latest version 6
- This script allows the tracking of engulfing candles over a user defined amount of time (candles).
- The script will signal every engulfing candle and its consecutive corresponding number across the entire chart.
- The Engulfing Count box in the bottom right counts how many bullish and bearish engulfing candles have occurred over the number decided by the user.
- The Engulfing Signal that prints is triggered when an opposite next candle prints and the body is over 100% larger than the previous candle. It does not need to "fully engulf" the previous candle, the coding has an allowance for an "equal to and greater/smaller than" the previous close price. This allows for signals were the open of the engulfing candle can be equal to the close of the previous opposite, however the engulfing still must reach an over 100% sizing of the previous to print a signal.
- Where a piercing candle occurs and the open price is within the body of the previous candle, this will void the equation and no matter how big the candle is, it will not trigger an engulfing signal as I was only looking for true engulfing candles.
- The script keeps count of the same consecutive signals no matter the timeframe.
- It will print the consecutive number above or below the signal (depending if bullish or bearish).
- To assist with trend identification the 3rd consecutive signal will print blue, and the 4th consecutive signal will print yellow (or I prefer to use the term "Gold"). This can help filter out the noise on lower timeframes to assist to see where the momentum is going, or if there are signals going against the trend to try trick traders.
- Back testing I found the 3rd and 4th signals are uncommon on higher timeframes and tend to act as fake-outs before the trend reverses.
- Overall a good tool to add to your trend analysis, either for additional confluence or to assist with reversal identification.
- Colors are set as default, but everything can be changed by the user as I didn't want to limit its possibilities.
*** Please note that this script does not take into any consideration candle wicks. Although it can be used with Heikin Ashi it is somewhat unreliable. This indicator is designed to be used with standard candles only ***
Radial Root AngleDescription:
Radial Root Angle is a precision geometric tool that calculates the angular trajectory of any price leg using a square-rooted price compression model. By selecting two anchor points on a move (typically swing low to swing high or vice versa), the tool computes the true angle of the leg in degrees.
Important Notes:
On low-priced assets or instruments with tight price ranges, the output angle may appear very small, with multiple decimal places.
This is a natural result of square-rooted price compression applied over time, especially when volatility is low.
In such cases, you may choose to round, scale, or interpret the angle proportionally when comparing across other legs or instruments.
Use Cases:
Identify price compression, trend exhaustion, or swing energy
Compare angular velocity across legs, assets, or timeframes
Integrate with Gann tools, harmonic cycles, or radial timing models
Build square-outs, circular projections, or geometry-based entries
Ideal For:
Traders exploring:
Gann angles and time/price geometry
Square root and harmonic market models
Sacred or astro-geometric analysis
Energetic mapping of price structure

JOYZONE.04JOYZONE signal for TradingView
The JOYZONE Breakout Indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential trend reversals and breakouts in financial markets. Built for TradingView’s Pine Script v6, this indicator leverages pivot points to detect significant price levels, offering a clear visual representation of bullish and bearish market shifts. By focusing on key price action patterns, it aims to provide traders with actionable insights for both trend-following and reversal strategies.
Core Functionality
The JOYZONE Breakout Indicator identifies critical pivot highs and lows using a fixed 5-period lookback, which simplifies the detection of potential reversal zones without requiring user adjustments. These pivot points are used to establish "JOYZONE" levels—price thresholds that, when broken with confirmation, signal a change in market trend. The indicator employs a robust confirmation mechanism within fixed bar window, reducing false signals and enhancing reliability.
Upon detecting a breakout, the indicator plots horizontal lines at the JOYZONE levels, extending until a new signal emerges or the trend shifts. Labels accompany these lines, marking bullish (+JOYZONE) and bearish (-JOYZONE) breakouts with customizable colors (default: green for bullish, red for bearish) and sizes (tiny to large). This visual clarity helps traders quickly assess market direction and key price levels.
Key Features
Simplified Inputs: The indicator minimizes user configuration by hardcoding critical parameters like the fixed-period directional detection system. Traders can toggle JOYZONE level visibility, adjust label sizes, and customize colors, ensuring flexibility without overwhelming complexity.
Efficient Signal Management: With a default cap of 86 signals, the indicator prevents chart clutter by automatically removing older lines and labels when the limit is exceeded. This feature is particularly useful for long-term chart analysis.
Dynamic Alerts: The script includes alert triggers for bullish and bearish JOYZONE breakouts, delivering real-time notifications with price details. This enables traders to act swiftly on confirmed signals, whether trading manually or integrating with automated systems.
ATR-Based Label Positioning: Labels are offset using the 50-period Average True Range (ATR), ensuring they remain visible and uncluttered regardless of market volatility.
How It Works
The indicator tracks pivot highs and lows to establish JOYZONE levels during uptrends (bearish levels) and downtrends (bullish levels). When the price crosses a JOYZONE level and satisfies the confirmation criteria, the trend updates, and a breakout signal is plotted. For example, a bullish JOYZONE breakout occurs when the price crosses above a pivot high during a downtrend, confirmed by a close above the threshold. The script then draws a green line and a “+JOYZONE” label, alerting the trader to a potential uptrend.
Use Cases
This indicator is versatile, catering to various trading styles:
Swing Traders: Use JOYZONE breakouts to enter trades at the onset of new trends, with clear entry and stop-loss levels based on plotted lines.
Day Traders: Leverage real-time alerts to capitalize on intraday reversals in volatile markets.
Position Traders: Monitor higher timeframes to identify long-term trend shifts with high-probability setups.
Customization and Performance
Traders can adjust the visibility of JOYZONE levels, label sizes, and colors to suit their chart preferences. The hardcoded 5-period lookback and 0.015% confirmation ensure consistency across assets, but users may need to test performance on specific markets (e.g., forex, stocks, crypto) to align with their strategies. The indicator’s reliance on ATR for label placement adapts to varying volatility, making it effective across different instruments.
Limitations and Considerations
While the JOYZONE Breakout Indicator excels in trending markets, it may produce delayed signals in choppy or sideways conditions due to its confirmation mechanism. Traders should combine it with other tools, such as moving averages or volume indicators, to filter signals. Additionally, the fixed period may not suit all timeframes, so testing on historical data is recommended.
Conclusion
The JOYZONE Breakout Indicator offers a streamlined, visually intuitive approach to detecting trend reversals and breakouts. Its automated signal management, dynamic alerts, and customizable display make it a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit. By focusing on confirmed price action, it empowers traders to make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you’re a novice or seasoned trader, this indicator provides a reliable framework for navigating dynamic markets.

10K's 4Levels for CME10K’s 4Levels for CME｜A Navigation Tool for Market Opening Structure
This is a TradingView visual tool designed for CME index futures traders, helping you grasp the structural foundation and potential market direction before the New York session begins.
It consists of four key price levels:
ETH High & Low
The highest and lowest prices during the full electronic trading session (starting at 6:00 PM the previous day), representing the full range of market positioning before the U.S. equity market opens.
ETH Open (Daily Candle Open)
The opening price at the start of the ETH session, which marks the beginning of the futures daily candle. This price reflects the first valuation by market participants, especially market makers.
RTH Open (New York Open)
The opening price of the regular trading session, aligning with the U.S. cash market open.
This price is the starting point of my trading session and determines half the shape of the day’s futures daily candle.
Tool Function & Purpose
The 4Levels indicator is not a prediction tool or signal generator—it's a scene-setting mechanism for your daily price playbook. With these four levels, you can:
Distinguish between pre-market sentiment and actual post-open price movements.
Clearly identify the starting point of your trading narrative, avoiding misguidance from early session noise.
Combine with daily and 465K charts to imagine possible intraday structures and narrative paths.
Use it alongside 30K for entry timing and price positioning, then fine-tune entries with 3K or 5K charts.
Recommended Use
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who focus on the first 1–3 hours after the New York open. If your trading approach is built around structure rather than signals, if you care about the relationship between opening prices and subsequent movement, and if you value rhythm and behavior over predictions—then this tool provides a clean, logical, and intuitive framework.
