Previous session High/Low – Asia London USA Overview
This indicator automatically plots the Previous Day’s (PD) session Highs and Lows for the Asia (Tokyo), London, and USA (New York) trading sessions.
Each session is color-coded for clarity:
🟩 Asia (Green)
🟥 London (Red)
🟦 USA (Blue)
At the close of each session, the indicator records that session’s high and low, draws horizontal lines across the chart, and labels them neatly in the center of each range — above the high and below the low for perfect visual balance.
⚙️ How It Works
The script continuously tracks the current high and low within each session.
When a session closes, those values are locked in as the PD High and PD Low.
Clean lines and centered labels are drawn immediately.
The labels automatically offset slightly above or below the line to avoid overlap, with user-controlled spacing.
This helps traders quickly identify where price interacts with the previous session’s structure, a core concept for many session-based and liquidity-based strategies.
🧭 Sessions and Timezones
Each market session runs in its native timezone, so you can align them perfectly to your chart or your preferred trading hours:
Asia Session: Default 08:30 – 11:00 (Australia/Adelaide time)
London Session: Default 08:00 – 10:00 (Europe/London)
USA Session: Default 09:30 – 16:00 (America/New_York)
You can change each session’s hours and timezone from the Inputs panel.
🎨 Customization
In the Inputs menu you can:
Toggle each session on or off
Choose line color and thickness
Enable or disable labels
Adjust vertical offset (ticks) for label spacing
“High label offset” – moves label further above the high line
“Low label offset” – moves label further below the low line
These adjustments make it easy to keep charts clean and readable on any instrument or timeframe.
📈 Practical Use
This indicator is ideal for:
Session traders who mark PD Highs/Lows as liquidity zones
London or NY session scalpers who watch for breakouts, fakeouts, or reversals
ICT / Smart Money Concepts users wanting automatic session reference levels
Anyone wanting a quick visual map of inter-session structure

Aynet- True Wick Projector for Non-Standard ChartsTechnical Explanation: "Data Projection and Synchronization"
This script is, at its core, a "data projection" tool. The fundamental technical problem it solves is compensating for the information loss that occurs when using different data visualization models.
1. The Core Problem: Information Loss
Standard Charts (Time-Based): Normal candlesticks are time-based. Each candle represents a fixed time interval (like 1 hour or 1 day) and displays the complete Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) data for that period. The "wicks" show the volatility and the extreme price points (the High and Low).
Non-Standard Charts (Price/Momentum-Based): Charts like Kagi, Renko, or Line Break filter out time. Their only concern is price movement. While one Renko box or Kagi line is forming, 10 or more time-based candles might have formed in the background. During this "noise filtering" process, the true high and low values (the wicks) from those underlying candles are lost.
The problem is this: A trader looking at a non-standard chart cannot see how high or low the price actually went while that block or line was forming. This is a critical loss of information regarding market volatility, support/resistance levels, and price rejection.
2. The Technical Solution: A "Dual Data Stream"
This script intelligently combines two different data streams to compensate for this information loss:
Main Stream (Current Chart): The open and close data from your active Kagi, Renko, etc., chart.
Secondary Stream (Projected Data): The high and low data from the underlying standard (time-based) chart.
3. The Code's Methodical Steps
Step 1: Identifying the Data Source (syminfo...)
This step precisely identifies the source for the secondary data stream. By using syminfo.prefix + ":" + syminfo.ticker (e.g., "NASDAQ:AAPL"), it guarantees that the data is pulled from the exact correct instrument and exchange.
Step 2: Data Request & "Lookahead" Synchronization (request.security)
This is the most critical part of the operation.
request.security(...): This is the function Pine Script uses to pull data from another dataset (the secondary stream) onto the current chart.
: This tells the function, "The only data I care about is the 'High' and 'Low' of the standard candle from that timeframe."
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on (The Critical Key): This command solves the "time paradox."
Normally (without this): request.security fetches data from the last completed bar. But as your Kagi bar is currently forming, the standard candle is also currently forming. This would cause the data to always be one bar behind (lag).
With lookahead_on: This permits the script to "look ahead" at the data from the currently forming, incomplete standard bar. Because of this, as your Kagi bar moves, the true wick data is updated in real-time. This achieves real-time synchronization.
Step 3: Visual Engineering (plotcandle)
After the script retrieves the data, it must "draw" it. However, it only wants to draw the wicks, not the candle bodies.
bodyTop and bodyBottom: First, it finds the top and bottom of the current Kagi bar's body (using math.max(open, close)).
Plotting the Upper Wick (Green):
It calls the plotcandle function and instructs it to draw a fake candle.
It fixes this fake candle's Open, Low, and Close (open, low, close) values to the top of the Kagi bar's body (bodyTop).
It only sets the High (high) value to the realHigh it fetched with request.security.
The result: A wick is drawn from the bodyTop level up to the realHigh level, with no visible body.
Plotting the Lower Wick (Red):
It applies the reverse logic.
It fixes the fake candle's Open, High, and Close values to the bottom of the Kagi bar's body (bodyBottom).
It only sets the Low (low) value to the realLow.
The result: A lower wick is drawn from bodyBottom down to realLow.
Invisibility (color.new(color.white, 100)):
In both plotcandle calls, the color (body color) and bordercolor are set to 100 transparency. This makes the "fake" candle bodies completely invisible, leaving only the colored wicks.
Conclusion (Technical Summary)
This script reclaims the volatility data (the wicks) that is naturally sacrificed by non-standard charts.
It achieves this with technical precision by creating a secondary data stream using request.security and synchronizing it with zero lag using the lookahead_on parameter.
Finally, it intelligently manipulates the plotcandle function (by creating invisible bodies) to project this lost data onto your Kagi/Renko chart as an "augmented reality" layer. This allows a trader to benefit from the clean, noise-filtered view of a non-standard chart without losing access to the full picture of market volatility.

PM Range Breaker [CHE] PM Range Breaker — Premarket bias with first-five range breaks, optional SWDEMA regime latch, and simple two-times-range targets
Summary
This indicator sets a once-per-day directional bias during New York premarket and then tracks a strict first-five-minutes range from the session open. After the first five complete, it marks clean breakouts and can project targets at two times the measured range. A second mode latches an EMA-based regime to inform the bias and optional background tinting. A compact panel reports live state, first-five levels, and rolling hit rates of both bias modes using a user-defined midday close for statistics.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday traders often get whipsawed by early noise or by fast flips in trend filters. This script commits to a bias at a single premarket minute and then waits for the market to present an objective structure: the first-five range. Breaks after that window are clearer and easier to manage. The alternative SWDEMA regime gives a slower, latched context for users who prefer a trend scaffold rather than a midpoint reference.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Typical open-range-breakout lines or a single moving-average filter without daily commitment.
Architecture differences:
Bias decision at a fixed New York time using either a midpoint lookback (“Classic”) or a two-EMA regime latch (“SWDEMA”).
Strict five-minute window from session open; breakout shapes print only after that window.
Single-shot breakout direction per session (debounce) and optional two-times-range targets.
On-chart panel with hit rates using a configurable midday close for statistics.
Practical effect: Cleaner visuals, fewer repeated signals, and a traceable daily decision that can be evaluated over time.
How it works (technical)
Time handling uses New York session times for premarket decision, open, first-five end, and a midday statistics checkpoint.
Classic bias: A midpoint is computed from the highest and lowest over a user period; at the premarket minute, the bias is set long when the close is above the midpoint, short otherwise.
SWDEMA bias: Two EMAs define a regime score that requires price and trend agreement; when both agree on a confirmed bar, the regime latches. At the premarket minute, the daily bias is set from the current regime.
The first-five range captures high and low from open until the end minute, then freezes. Breakouts are detected after that window using close-based cross logic.
The script draws range lines and optional targets at two times the frozen range. A session break direction latch prevents duplicate break markers.
Statistics compare daily open and a configurable midday close to record if the chosen bias aligned with the move.
Optional elements include EMA lines, midpoint line, latched-regime background, and regime switch markers.
Data aggregation for day logic and the first-five window is sampled on one-minute data with explicit lookahead off. On charts above one minute, values update intra-bar until the underlying minute closes.

Background Mode — Session bias or SWDEMA regime — Default: Session — Decide which background narrative you want.
Reading & Interpretation
Panel: Shows the active bias, first-five high and low, and a state that reads Building during the window, Ready once frozen, and Break arrows when a breakout occurs. Hit rates show the percentage of days where each bias mode aligned with the midday move.
Colors and shapes: Green background implies long bias; red implies short bias. Triangle markers denote the first valid breakout after the first-five window. Optional regime markers flag regime changes.
Lines: First-five high and low form the core structure. Optional targets mark a level at two times the frozen range from the breakout side.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Choose a bias mode. Wait for the first clean breakout after the first-five window in the direction of the bias. Confirm with structure such as higher highs and higher lows or lower highs and lower lows.
Exits and risk: Conservative users can trail behind the opposite side of the first-five range. Aggressive users can scale near the two-times-range target.
Multi-asset and multi-TF: Works well on intraday timeframes from one minute upward. For non-US sessions, adjust the time inputs to the instrument’s regular trading hours.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint and confirmation: Bias and regime decisions use confirmed bars. Breakout signals evaluate on bar close at the chart timeframe. On higher timeframes, minute-based sources update within the live bar until the minute closes.
security and HTF: The script samples one-minute data. Lookahead is off. Values stabilize once the source minute closes.
Resources: `max_bars_back` is five thousand. Drawing objects and the panel update efficiently, with position extensions handled on the last bar.
Known limits: Midday statistics use the configured time, not the official daily close. Session logic assumes New York session timing. Targets are simple multiples of the first-five range and do not adapt to volatility beyond that structure.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with Classic bias, midpoint lookback at three hundred, and all visuals on.
Too many flips in context → switch to SWDEMA mode or increase EMA lengths.
Breakouts feel noisy → extend the first-five end by a minute or two, or wait for a retest by your own rules.
Too sluggish → reduce midpoint lookback or shorten EMA lengths.
Chart cluttered → hide EMA or midpoint lines and keep only range levels and breakout shapes.

[LTS] Marubozu Candle StrategyOVERVIEW
The Marubozu Candle Strategy identifies and trades wickless candles (Marubozu patterns) with dynamic take-profit and stop-loss levels based on market volatility. This indicator combines traditional Japanese candlestick pattern recognition with modern volatility-adjusted risk management and includes a comprehensive performance tracking dashboard.
A Marubozu candle is a powerful continuation pattern characterized by the complete absence of wicks on one side, indicating strong directional momentum. This strategy specifically detects:
- Bullish Marubozu: Close > Open AND Low = Open (no lower wick)
- Bearish Marubozu: Close < Open AND High = Open (no upper wick)
When price returns to test these levels, the indicator generates trading signals with predefined risk-reward parameters.
CORE METHODOLOGY
Detection Logic:
The script scans each bar for Marubozu formations using precise price comparisons. When a wickless candle appears, a horizontal line extends from the opening price, marking it as a potential support (bullish) or resistance (bearish) level. These levels remain active until price touches them or until the maximum line limit is reached.
EMA Filter (Optional):
An exponential moving average filter enhances signal quality by requiring proper trend alignment. For bullish signals, price must be above the EMA when touching the level. For bearish signals, price must be below the EMA. This filter reduces counter-trend trades and improves win rates in trending markets. Users can disable this filter for range-bound conditions.
Dynamic Risk Management:
The strategy employs ATR-based (Average True Range) position sizing rather than fixed point values. This approach adapts to market volatility automatically:
- In low volatility: Tighter stops and targets
- In high volatility: Wider stops and targets proportional to market movement
Default settings use a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio (1x ATR for take-profit, 0.5x ATR for stop-loss), but users can adjust these multipliers to match their trading style.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 - Pattern Detection:
On each bar, the indicator evaluates whether the candle qualifies as a Marubozu by comparing the high, low, open, and close prices. When detected, the opening price becomes the key level.
Step 2 - Level Management:
Horizontal lines extend from each Marubozu's opening price. The indicator maintains two separate arrays: one for unbroken levels (actively extending) and one for broken levels (historical reference). Users can configure how many of each type to display, preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant context.
Step 3 - Signal Generation:
When price returns to touch a Marubozu level, the indicator evaluates the EMA filter condition. If the filter passes (or is disabled), the script draws TP/SL boxes showing the expected profit and loss zones based on current ATR values.
Step 4 - Trade Tracking:
Each valid signal enters the tracking system, which monitors subsequent price action to determine outcomes. The script identifies whether the take-profit or stop-loss was hit first (discarding trades where both trigger on the same candle to avoid ambiguous results).
PERFORMANCE DASHBOARD
The integrated dashboard provides real-time strategy analytics to automatically convert results to dollar values for any instrument:
Tracked Metrics:
- Total Trades: Complete count of closed positions
- Wins/Losses: Individual counts with color coding
- Win Rate: Success percentage with dynamic color (green >= 50%, red < 50%)
- Total P&L: Cumulative profit/loss in dollars
- Avg Win: Mean dollar amount per winning trade
- Avg Loss: Mean dollar amount per losing trade
NOTE: The dollar values shown in the dashboard are for trading only a single share/contract/etc. You will need to manually multiply those numbers by the amount of shares/contracts you are trading to get a true value.
The dollar conversion works automatically across all markets:
- Futures contracts (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) use their contract specifications
- Forex pairs use standard lot calculations
- Stocks and crypto use their respective point values
This eliminates manual calculation and provides immediate performance feedback in meaningful currency terms.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
ATR Settings:
- ATR Period: Lookback length for volatility calculation (default: 14)
- TP Multiplier: Take-profit distance as multiple of ATR (default: 3.0)
- SL Multiplier: Stop-loss distance as multiple of ATR (default: 1.5)
EMA Settings:

Darvas Lines/Box1. Overview
The Darvas Lines/Box (v1.0) is a dynamic trend following indicator based on the renowned method developed by Nicolas Darvas. It's designed to identify clear price consolidation ranges and detect decisive breakouts, crucial for positional and swing trading strategies.
This indicator automatically draws and adjusts the consolidation ranges, and includes modern enhancements such as Advanced Retest Confirmation and exposed alert conditions, providing reliable signals for monitoring and acting on trend continuations.
2. Core Features
Custom Display Mode (Lines/Box): Allows the user to toggle the visualization between showing just the Breakout Lines (Lines) or displaying the consolidation area with a filled background box (Box).
Source Selection (Wicks/Body): Users can choose whether the box boundaries are defined by the candlestick wicks (price extremes) or the candlestick body (open/close price). This feature is critical for adjusting sensitivity to market noise.
Dynamic Box Drawing: Draws Darvas boxes automatically by tracking price highs and lows based on user-defined parameters (Bars to Define Range, Max Box Height).
Retest Confirmation: Detects if the old resistance/support line functions effectively after a breakout. When a retest is confirmed, the line is extended and its color changes.
Price Labels (Stable Lock): Displays the highest and lowest box prices, fixed to the left outer edge of the box. This ensures stable visibility.
Progress Labels: Visualizes the current line price and the percentage distance to the closing price on the right side of the box, showing progress toward the next breakout.
3. Trading Strategy: How to Use the Indicator
This indicator is primarily used to identify trend initiation and trend continuation signals.
A. Entry Strategy (Breakout)
Long Entry Action: Consider taking a long entry when the price closes above the Upper Line (Green Line), signaled by a BULLISH BREAKOUT alert.
Signal: Use the BULLISH BREAKOUT alert.
Short Entry Action: Consider taking a short entry when the price closes below the Lower Line (Red Line), signaled by a BEARISH BREAKOUT alert.
Signal: Use the BEARISH BREAKOUT alert.
B. Retest Strategy (Add-on/Confirmation)
Action: When the price pulls back to touch the broken line (signaled by RETEST CONFIRMED), this confirms the break's validity.
Alert: The RETEST CONFIRMED alert is triggered at this moment.
C. Risk Management (General)
Stop Loss: The initial stop-loss is typically set just beyond the opposite side of the broken box. As the trend progresses and new boxes form, the lower boundary of the most recently formed box can be used as a trailing stop for managing risk.
4. Setting Parameters
Line Source (Wicks/Body): Crucial for sensitivity. 'Wicks' tracks price extremes; 'Body' tracks stronger close-to-close movements, ignoring noise.
Bars to Define Range: Defines the calculation period (in bars) for the box.
Cooldown Bars After Breakout: Sets the waiting period after a breakout before a new box can start forming.
Retest Lookback Bars (Phase 3): Sets the maximum number of bars to check for a retest during the cooldown phase.
Max Gap for Retest (%): Defines the maximum percentage distance from the line allowed to confirm a retest (Set to Zero (0.0%) for near-touch detection).
Alert Frequency (Breakout): Allows selection between Continuous and Once per Box for breakout signals.
5. Alerts: How to Set Up the Triggers
This indicator exposes several specific conditions to the TradingView alert panel, allowing you to select the exact event you want to monitor.
Step-by-Step Alert Setup:
Open the Alert Panel on the chart.
In the Condition field, select the indicator's name.
In the Alert Condition field, choose the specific event you want to monitor:

HIDDEN IMPULSE - Multi-Timeframe Momentum Detection System
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Hidden Impulse is an advanced momentum oscillator that combines the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) and Force Index into a comprehensive multi-timeframe trading system. Unlike standard implementations of these indicators, this script introduces three distinct trading setups with specific entry conditions, multi-timeframe confirmation, and trend filtering.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ORIGINALITY & KEY FEATURES
This indicator is original in the following ways:
1. DUAL-TIMEFRAME STC ANALYSIS
Standard STC implementations work on a single timeframe. This script
simultaneously analyzes STC on both your trading timeframe and a higher
timeframe, providing trend context and filtering out low-probability signals.
2. FORCE INDEX INTEGRATION
The script combines STC with Force Index (volume-weighted price momentum)
to confirm the strength behind price moves. This combination helps identify
when momentum shifts are backed by genuine buying/selling pressure.
3. THREE DISTINCT TRADING SETUPS
Rather than generic overbought/oversold signals, the indicator provides
three specific, rule-based setups:
- Setup A: Classic trend-following entries with multi-timeframe confirmation
- Setup B: Divergence-based reversal entries (highest probability)
- Setup C: Mean-reversion bounce trades at extreme levels
4. INTELLIGENT FILTERING
All signals are filtered through:
- 50 EMA trend direction (prevents counter-trend trades)
- Higher timeframe STC alignment (ensures macro trend agreement)
- Force Index confirmation (validates volume support)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
SCHAFF TREND CYCLE (STC) CALCULATION:
The STC is a cyclical oscillator that combines MACD concepts with stochastic
smoothing to create earlier and smoother trend signals.
Step 1: Calculate MACD
- Fast MA = EMA(close, Length1) — default 23
- Slow MA = EMA(close, Length2) — default 50
- MACD Line = Fast MA - Slow MA
Step 2: First Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation to MACD
- Stoch1 = 100 × (MACD - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing)) / (Highest(MACD, Smoothing) - Lowest(MACD, Smoothing))
- Smooth result with EMA(Stoch1, Smoothing) — default 10
Step 3: Second Stochastic Smoothing
- Apply stochastic calculation again to the smoothed stochastic
- This creates the final STC value between 0-100
The dual stochastic smoothing makes STC more responsive than MACD while
being smoother than traditional stochastics.
FORCE INDEX CALCULATION:
Force Index measures the power behind price movements by incorporating volume:
Force Raw = (Close - Close ) × Volume
Force Index = EMA(Force Raw, Period) — default 13
Interpretation:
- Positive Force Index = Buying pressure (bulls in control)
- Negative Force Index = Selling pressure (bears in control)
- Force Index crossing zero = Momentum shift
- Divergences with price = Weakening momentum (reversal signal)
TREND FILTER:
A 50-period EMA serves as the trend filter:
- Price above EMA50 = Uptrend → Only LONG signals allowed
- Price below EMA50 = Downtrend → Only SHORT signals allowed
This prevents counter-trend trading which accounts for most losing trades.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE THREE TRADING SETUPS - DETAILED
SETUP A: CLASSIC MOMENTUM ENTRY
Concept: Enter when STC exits oversold/overbought zones with trend confirmation
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC > 25 (macro trend is up)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses above 25 (momentum turning up)
3. Force Index crosses above 0 OR already positive (volume confirms)
4. Price above 50 EMA (local trend is up)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Higher timeframe STC < 75 (macro trend is down)
2. Primary timeframe STC crosses below 75 (momentum turning down)
3. Force Index crosses below 0 OR already negative (volume confirms)
4. Price below 50 EMA (local trend is down)
Best for: Trending markets, continuation trades
Win rate: Moderate (60-65%)
Risk/Reward: 1:2 to 1:3
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP B: DIVERGENCE REVERSAL (HIGHEST PROBABILITY)
Concept: Identify exhaustion points where price makes new extremes but
momentum (Force Index) fails to confirm
BULLISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a lower low (LL) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a higher low (HL) — refuses to follow price down
3. STC is below 25 (oversold condition)
Trigger: STC starts rising AND Force Index crosses above zero
BEARISH DIVERGENCE:
1. Price makes a higher high (HH) over 10 bars
2. Force Index makes a lower high (LH) — refuses to follow price up
3. STC is above 75 (overbought condition)
Trigger: STC starts falling AND Force Index crosses below zero
Why this works: Divergences signal that the current trend is losing steam.
When volume (Force Index) doesn't confirm new price extremes, a reversal
is likely.
Best for: Reversal trading, range-bound markets
Win rate: High (70-75%)
Risk/Reward: 1:3 to 1:5
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SETUP C: QUICK BOUNCE AT EXTREMES
Concept: Catch rapid mean-reversion moves when price touches EMA50 in
extreme STC zones
LONG CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from above (pullback in uptrend)
2. STC < 15 (extreme oversold)
3. Force Index > 0 (buyers stepping in)
SHORT CONDITIONS:
1. Price touches 50 EMA from below (pullback in downtrend)
2. STC > 85 (extreme overbought)
3. Force Index < 0 (sellers stepping in)
Best for: Scalping, quick mean-reversion trades
Win rate: Moderate (55-60%)
Risk/Reward: 1:1 to 1:2
Note: Use tighter stops and quick profit-taking
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
STEP 1: CONFIGURE TIMEFRAMES
Primary Timeframe (STC - Primary Timeframe):
- Leave empty to use your current chart timeframe
- This is where you'll take trades
Higher Timeframe (STC - Higher Timeframe):
- Default: 30 minutes
- Recommended ratios:
* 5min chart → 30min higher TF
* 15min chart → 1H higher TF
* 1H chart → 4H higher TF
* Daily chart → Weekly higher TF
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 2: ADJUST STC PARAMETERS FOR YOUR MARKET
Default (23/50/10) works well for stocks and forex, but adjust for:
CRYPTO (volatile):
- Length 1: 15
- Length 2: 35
- Smoothing: 8
(Faster response for rapid price movements)
STOCKS (standard):
- Length 1: 23
- Length 2: 50
- Smoothing: 10
(Balanced settings)
FOREX MAJORS (slower):
- Length 1: 30
- Length 2: 60
- Smoothing: 12
(Filters out noise in 24/7 markets)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 3: ENABLE YOUR PREFERRED SETUPS
Toggle setups based on your trading style:
Conservative Trader:
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — highest win rate
✗ Setup A (Classic) — only in strong trends
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — too aggressive
Trend Trader:
✓ Setup A (Classic) — primary signals
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — for entries on pullbacks
✗ Setup C (Bounce) — not suitable for trending
Scalper:
✓ Setup C (Bounce) — quick in-and-out
✓ Setup B (Divergence) — high probability scalps
✗ Setup A (Classic) — too slow
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: READ THE SIGNALS
ON THE CHART:
Labels appear when conditions are met:
Green labels:
- "LONG A" — Setup A long entry
- "LONG B DIV" — Setup B divergence long (best signal)
- "LONG C" — Setup C bounce long
Red labels:
- "SHORT A" — Setup A short entry
- "SHORT B DIV" — Setup B divergence short (best signal)
- "SHORT C" — Setup C bounce short
IN THE INDICATOR PANEL (bottom):
- Blue line = Primary timeframe STC
- Orange dots = Higher timeframe STC (optional)
- Green/Red bars = Force Index histogram
- Dashed lines at 25/75 = Entry/Exit zones
- Background shading = Oversold (green) / Overbought (red)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
TRADING STRATEGY & RISK MANAGEMENT
ENTRY RULES:
Priority ranking (best to worst):
1st: Setup B (Divergence) — wait for these
2nd: Setup A (Classic) — in confirmed trends only
3rd: Setup C (Bounce) — scalping only
Confirmation checklist before entry:
☑ Signal label appears on chart
☑ TREND in info table matches signal direction
☑ Higher timeframe STC aligned (check orange dots or table)
☑ Force Index confirming (check histogram color)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STOP LOSS PLACEMENT:
Setup A (Classic):
- LONG: Below recent swing low
- SHORT: Above recent swing high
- Typical: 1-2 ATR distance
Setup B (Divergence):
- LONG: Below the divergence low
- SHORT: Above the divergence high
- Typical: 0.5-1.5 ATR distance
Setup C (Bounce):
- LONG: 5-10 pips below EMA50
- SHORT: 5-10 pips above EMA50
- Typical: 0.3-0.8 ATR distance
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
TAKE PROFIT TARGETS:
Conservative approach:
- Exit when STC reaches opposite level
- LONG: Exit when STC > 75
- SHORT: Exit when STC < 25
Aggressive approach:
- Hold until opposite signal appears
- Trail stop as STC moves in your favor
Partial profits:
- Take 50% at 1:2 risk/reward
- Let remaining 50% run to target
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT TO AVOID:
❌ Trading Setup A in sideways/choppy markets
→ Wait for clear trend or use Setup B only
❌ Ignoring higher timeframe STC
→ Always check orange dots align with your direction
❌ Taking signals against the major trend
→ If weekly trend is down, be cautious with longs
❌ Overtrading Setup C
→ Maximum 2-3 bounce trades per session
❌ Trading during low volume periods
→ Force Index becomes unreliable
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ALERTS CONFIGURATION
The indicator includes 8 alert types:
Individual setup alerts:

EXAMPLE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
SETUP B DIVERGENCE LONG EXAMPLE:
1. Market Context:
- Price in downtrend, below 50 EMA
- Multiple lower lows forming
- STC below 25 (oversold)
2. Divergence Formation:
- Price makes new low at $45.20
- Force Index refuses to make new low (higher low forms)
- This indicates selling pressure weakening
3. Signal Trigger:
- STC starts turning up
- Force Index crosses above zero
- Label appears: "LONG B DIV"
4. Trade Execution:
- Entry: $45.50 (current price at signal)
- Stop Loss: $44.80 (below divergence low)
- Target 1: $47.90 (STC reaches 75) — risk/reward 1:3.4
- Target 2: Opposite signal or trail stop
5. Trade Management:
- Price rallies to $47.20
- STC reaches 68 (approaching target zone)
- Take 50% profit, move stop to breakeven
- Exit remaining at $48.10 when STC crosses 75
Result: 3.7R gain
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ADVANCED TIPS
1. MULTI-TIMEFRAME CONFLUENCE
For highest probability trades, wait for:
- Primary TF signal
- Higher TF STC aligned (>25 for longs, <75 for shorts)
- Even higher TF trend in same direction (manual check)
2. VOLUME CONFIRMATION
Watch the Force Index histogram:
- Increasing bar size = Strengthening momentum
- Decreasing bar size = Weakening momentum
- Use this to gauge signal strength
3. AVOID THESE MARKET CONDITIONS
- Major news events (Force Index becomes erratic)
- Market open first 30 minutes (volatility spikes)
- Low liquidity instruments (Force Index unreliable)
- Extreme trending days (wait for pullbacks)
4. COMBINE WITH SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Best signals occur near:
- Key horizontal levels
- Fibonacci retracements
- Previous day's high/low
- Psychological round numbers
5. SESSION AWARENESS
- Asia session: Use lower timeframes, Setup C works well
- London session: Setup A and B both effective
- New York session: All setups work, highest volume

jjjjjjjjExplanation of the Script
Bullish and Bearish Candles: The function isBullishOrderBlock() checks if a candle is "bullish" in nature (based on body size to range ratio). Similarly, isBearishOrderBlock() checks for bearish candles.
Order Block Length and Threshold: length is the number of bars to scan for an order block, and threshold sets how strong a candle needs to be to be considered an order block.
Detection: The loop searches backward through the bars to find strong bullish and bearish order blocks, marking the price points where the strong moves happened.
Plotting: The plotshape() function is used to plot arrows or labels on the chart to mark where bullish or bearish order blocks are identified.
Improving and Customizing
Highlighting Blocks: Instead of just marking a point, you can plot horizontal boxes or shaded regions using box.new() to visually highlight the order block zone.
Use of Different Timeframes: You can modify the script to look for order blocks across multiple timeframes to increase accuracy.
Complex Rules: Depending on your strategy, you may want to add additional rules, such as looking for price to return to the order block area before confirming the strength of the block.
CHOCH + FVG Signals [30m Optimized]CHOCH + FVG Signals
🎯 What It Does:
This script automatically scans your chart for high-probability Smart Money Concepts (SMC) setups based on two key institutional trading principles:
Change of Character (CHOCH) – A shift in market structure signaling potential reversal
Fair Value Gap (FVG) – An imbalance zone where price moved too fast, often acting as support/resistance
When both conditions align, the script plots clear Buy (▲) and Sell (▼) signals directly on your chart — ideal for intraday trading on the 30-minute timeframe (but works on any timeframe).
✅ Key Features:
🔹 Visual Fair Value Gaps
Green shaded zones = Bullish FVGs (potential support)
Red shaded zones = Bearish FVGs (potential resistance)
Toggle on/off in settings
🔹 Smart CHOCH Detection
Detects breaks of recent swing highs/lows with proper context
Avoids false signals by confirming prior price structure
🔹 Clear Trade Signals
Green ▲ below bar = Buy signal (Bullish CHOCH + FVG confluence)
Red ▼ above bar = Sell signal (Bearish CHOCH + FVG confluence)
🔹 Customizable Filters
Option to require FVG for a signal (recommended for higher accuracy)
Adjust sensitivity via swing detection settings (default optimized for 30m)
🔹 Alert-Ready
Built-in alert conditions for instant notifications on TradingView mobile/desktop
⚙️ How to Use:
Apply to a 30-minute chart (e.g., EURUSD, Gold, NAS100, BTC)
Wait for at least 50–100 bars to load (so swing points appear)
Look for:
A green triangle (▲) → consider long entry near FVG support
A red triangle (▼) → consider short entry near FVG resistance
Confirm with price action: Wait for a strong candle close or rejection at the FVG zone
Use stop-loss below/above the FVG and target recent liquidity pools
💡 Pro Tip: Best used during high-volume sessions (e.g., London Open 7–10 AM UTC, NY Open 12:30–3:30 PM UTC).
🛠️ Settings (Inputs):

Dynamic S/R# Complete Parameter Guide
## 1. Lookback Bars (Default: 500)
- **Function**: Number of historical bars the script analyzes to identify levels
- **Example**: If set to 500, the script examines the last 500 candles
- **Increase when**: Trading long-term, searching for old historical levels
- **Decrease when**: Day trading or short-term trading, viewing only recent levels
- **Recommendation**: 200-300 for day trading, 500-1000 for swing trading
## 2. Min Touches (Default: 3)
- **Function**: Minimum number of touches required for a level to be considered valid
- **Example**: If set to 3, a level with only 2 touches will not be displayed
- **Increase (4-5) when**: You want only very strong and confirmed levels
- **Decrease (2) when**: You want to identify potential levels early
- **Recommendation**: 3 is a balanced value - not too loose, not too strict
## 3. Extrema Type (Default: both)
- **Function**: Which type of extrema to identify
- **Options**:
- **min**: Support levels only (pivot lows)
- **max**: Resistance levels only (pivot highs)
- **both**: Both types
- **When to change**:
- In uptrend looking for support only: select "min"
- In downtrend looking for resistance only: select "max"
## 4. Pivot Window (Default: 5)
- **Function**: How many bars on each side are required to confirm a pivot
- **Technical explanation**: pivot low = price lower than 5 bars before it and 5 bars after it
- **Increase (7-10) when**:
- More significant extrema needed
- Less noise, fewer levels
- Good for higher timeframes
- **Decrease (3-4) when**:
- More sensitivity needed
- More levels wanted
- Good for scalping
- **Important**: Higher value = quality over quantity
## 5. Clustering Sensitivity % (Default: 0.5%)
- **Function**: Percentage deviation allowed to group touches into the same level
- **Example**: If level at $100 and sensitivity 0.5%, touches between $99.5-$100.5 count as same level
- **Increase (1-2%) when**:
- Volatile assets (crypto, small stocks)
- More consolidation of nearby levels
- Fewer levels on chart
- **Decrease (0.2-0.3%) when**:
- Stable assets (indices, forex majors)
- Higher precision needed
- Separation between close levels
- **Recommendation**: Start at 0.5% and adjust per instrument
## 6. Max Levels to Show (Default: 10)
- **Function**: Maximum number of support/resistance lines displayed on chart
- **Selection criteria**: Script prioritizes levels by:
1. Number of touches (more = stronger)
2. Price spread (tighter = more accurate)
3. Recency (most recent touch closer to present)
- **Low value (5-10)**: Clean chart with only strongest levels
- **High value (20-50)**: More options, including weaker levels
## 7. Min Bar Separation (Default: 5)
- **Function**: Minimum distance in bars between two touches of the same type (min or max)
- **Why important**: Prevents double-counting the same extremum
- **Example**: If pivot low at bar 100 and another at bar 103, only one counts
- **Increase (10-20) when**:
- Lower timeframes with much noise
- Avoiding false consolidation
- **Decrease (2-3) when**:
- Higher timeframes
- Identifying quick movements
## 8. Alert Proximity % (Default: 1%)
- **Function**: Distance from level at which to trigger alert
- **Example**: Level at $100, proximity 1% = alert between $99-$101
- **Increase (2-3%) when**:
- Earlier alerts wanted
- More preparation time needed
- May create false alerts
- **Decrease (0.5%) when**:
- More precise alerts wanted
- Stronger confirmation needed
- Less reaction time
- **Recommendation**: 1% works well for most cases
## 9. Show Price Bands (Default: true)
- **Function**: Displays zone around level instead of just a line
- **Zone size**: Plus/minus Clustering Sensitivity %
- **Why useful**:
- Levels are never exact lines
- Zone better represents reality
- Helps identify entries and exits within zone
- **Off**: Cleaner chart with only lines
## 10. Show Info Table (Default: true)
- **Function**: Displays information table in chart corner
- **Table contents**:
- Type: S (Support) / R (Resistance) / N (Neutral)
- Price: Level price
- Touches: Number of touches
- Bars Ago: How many bars since last touch
- **Off**: If you know the levels and want a clean chart

The Vishnu Zone Ver 2 by Dr. Sudhir Khollam## 📜 **The Vishnu Zone — Trade When the Brahma Zone Ends**
**Author:** Dr. Sudhir Khollam (SALSA© Method of Astrology & Market Psychology)
**Category:** Volatility Phase Detection / Bollinger Band Expansion Analysis
---
### 🔶 **Concept Overview**
In the **SALSA© Market Philosophy**, every market phase follows a cosmic rhythm —
* **Brahma Phase** represents *creation and expansion* (high volatility and strong directional movement).
* **Vishnu Phase** represents *maintenance and stability* (where expansion cools down and balanced opportunities appear).
**“The Vishnu Zone”** indicator identifies the exact moments when the **Brahma Phase ends** — signaling that the expansion has completed and the market is likely to enter a more stable, tradable state.
This is a **precision-timing indicator** that helps traders avoid entering at the end of impulsive phases and instead prepare for equilibrium-based trades (mean reversion, range setups, or steady trends).
---
### ⚙️ **How It Works**
The indicator measures **Bollinger Band Width (BBW)** to quantify expansion and contraction in volatility.
1. It calculates the **adaptive expansion threshold** using the average BBW over a rolling lookback period.
2. When the current BBW **drops below** this adaptive threshold **after being above it**, the script marks it as the **end of the Brahma Phase**.
3. This moment is shown visually as:
* 🕉 **“Vishnu” label** above the candle
* A **horizontal dotted line** extending for several bars
Together, these mark a **Vishnu Zone**, where the market transitions from expansion to consolidation — an ideal time for stabilization or entry planning.
---
### 📊 **Inputs & Settings**
| Parameter | Description |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Bollinger Band Length** | The number of bars used for SMA and standard deviation (default 20). |
| **Bollinger Multiplier** | Determines the width of Bollinger Bands (default 2.0). |
| **Adaptive Lookback Period** | Rolling window to calculate the mean BBW for dynamic adjustment (default 150). |
| **Expansion Multiplier** | Multiplies the mean BBW to define the expansion threshold (default 1.35). |
| **Horizontal Line Extension Bars** | Number of bars to extend the Vishnu Zone line into the future (default 40). |
| **Show End-of-Brahma Labels?** | Toggle 🕉 labels on/off. |
| **Show Horizontal Lines?** | Toggle Vishnu Zone lines on/off. |
---
### 🔔 **Alerts**
When the **Brahma Phase ends**, the indicator triggers an alert:
> *“Brahma Phase Ends, Vishnu has taken over.”*
This helps traders receive real-time notification of volatility contraction and possible entry zones.
---
### 🧠 **Best Practices**
* Works effectively on **5-minute to 1-hour timeframes** for intraday trading.
* Best paired with **momentum or volume filters** to confirm trend exhaustion.
* Avoid entering during rapid expansion (Brahma phase). Wait for a Vishnu signal to ensure market stabilization.
---
### 🌌 **Philosophical Interpretation (SALSA© Principle)**
Just as Vishnu sustains the universe after Brahma’s creation, the market too enters a **maintenance phase** after every burst of expansion.
Recognizing this shift allows traders to align with **cosmic rhythm and price psychology**, not just technical metrics.
---
### 🧩 **Summary**
✅ Detects when expansion volatility ends
✅ Marks transition zones between impulsive and stable phases
✅ Sends real-time alerts
✅ Adaptive and self-adjusting across markets and assets
✅ Simple, clean visualization — ideal for disciplined trading
---
### ⚡ **Use Case**
Perfect for traders who:
* Prefer **low-risk entries** after volatility spikes
* Trade **mean reversion**, **range breakouts**, or **volatility collapses**
* Believe in the **cyclic nature of market energy**
