HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a signal visualization layer for breakout confirmation and basic risk marking, best as a filter in discretionary setups. It isn’t a standalone system or predictive oracle—combine with price structure, news awareness, and sizing rules for real edges.

Cicli
Mayer Mutiple | QRMayer Multiple | QR — Publication Description
What it does
Mayer Multiple | QR is a cycle/valuation style oscillator that measures how far price sits above or below its longer-term average and normalizes that distance by current volatility. It helps you spot overheated extensions and deep discounts relative to trend, with adaptive bands that expand/contract as conditions change.
How it works (principle)
The script compares price to a long lookback moving average (default uses a 200-period average of ohlc4) and turns that gap into an oscillator.
It then computes a rolling standard deviation of that oscillator to build dynamic upper/lower bands (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ).
When the oscillator rises above the upper bands, the move is statistically stretched (potential distribution/risk). When it falls below the lower bands, it’s statistically depressed (potential accumulation/opportunity).
A small baseline band around zero (scaled from volatility) provides a quick trend-bias read without crowding the view.
Why this matters: Classic “Mayer Multiple” tools use a fixed threshold over a single moving average. This version is volatility-aware: its bands adapt to the market’s current dispersion, reducing false signals in quiet regimes and avoiding constant “overheat” flags in high-vol regimes.
What you see on the chart
White oscillator line: volatility-normalized deviation from the long-term average.
Adaptive bands:
Upper 1/2/3σ (shaded blue tones) = progressively more extended.
Lower 1/2/3σ (shaded green tones) = progressively more discounted.
Baseline ribbon: subtle band around zero for quick bias.
Background highlights: optional flashes when the oscillator exceeds the ±3σ extremes.
All visuals are generated by this script alone; no other indicator is required to understand usage.
How to use it
Context: Use on higher timeframes to gauge where price sits versus its long-term “fair value corridor.”
Signal reading:
Above +1σ/+2σ/+3σ: extension → consider de-risking, trailing stops, or waiting for mean reversion.
Below −1σ/−2σ/−3σ: discount → consider scaling in, watching for trend resumption cues.
Confluence: Treat it as a condition, not a trigger. Pair with structure (higher highs/lows), breadth, or momentum for entries/exits.
Regime awareness: As volatility rises, bands widen; prioritize trend context over single print extremes.
Inputs you can tune
Color mode: preset palettes for lines/fills/backgrounds.
Dynamic Threshold Length: lookback for the volatility (σ) calculation driving the adaptive bands.
Source: price input used for the long-term reference.
Band toggles: show/hide ±1σ / ±2σ / ±3σ envelopes to reduce clutter.
Originality & value
Adaptive, volatility-aware implementation of a Mayer-style concept: rather than one fixed threshold, it scales to current regime, keeping readings comparable across cycles.
Clear, clean presentation (oscillator + bands + optional background) designed for publication with a clean chart so the script’s output is immediately identifiable.
Offers actionable context (stretch/discount zones) while leaving trade execution to the user’s process.
Limitations & good practices
Best used for context and risk framing, not stand-alone entries.
Adaptive bands depend on the lookback you choose; very short windows can overfit, very long windows can lag.
Extremes can persist in strong trends—don’t fade momentum blindly.

ICT Sessions [TradeWithRon]
ICT Sessions and killzones maps three intraday sessions on your chart (Asia, London, NY), tracks each session’s live high/low, draws optional session range boxes, and projects ICT OTE zones in real time—with granular styling, touch/mitigation logic, and alerting.
What it does
Live Session high/low tracking.
Historical session lines:
When a session ends, its final High/Low are preserved as tracked lines (with optional labels) for a configurable number of recent sessions.
Session boxes (ranges):
Draws a shaded box from session start to end that expands with new highs/lows. Limit how many recent boxes remain on chart.
ICT OTE zones (live):
For the currently active session, projects user-defined Fibonacci OTE levels (e.g., 61.8%, 70.5%, 78.6) between the session’s running high and low. Zones update tick-by-tick and can show labels. You can retain a history of recent sessions’ OTE levels.
Break visualization (mitigation):
Optionally color the bar when price breaks a stored session High/Low. You can:
Require a body close through the level (vs. any touch)
Auto-remove the line and/or label on touch/close
Use custom break colors per session and side (high/low)
Timestamps:
Add up to two recurring vertical timestamp markers (e.g., 08:00, 09:30), plus an opening horizontal marker (e.g., 09:30) with label that extends until the next occurrence.
Alerts:
Built-in alerts for:
Touch of Session 1/2/3 High/Low (Asia/London/NY)
Touch of OTE levels (per session)
Key inputs:
Time & Limits
Timezone (e.g., GMT-4)
Timeframe limit: hide all drawings on and above a specified TF
Sessions
Session windows (default):
Session 1 (Asia): 18:00–00:00
Session 2 (London): 00:00–06:00
Session 3 (NY): 08:00–12:00
How many to keep (lines/boxes)
Line width, colors, and label suffixes (“High”/“Low”)
Labels: toggle, text (“Asia”, “London”, “NY”), size, and colors
Boxes: toggle per session and background colors
ICT OTE Zones
Toggle per session (Asia/London/NY)
Levels (comma-separated %s, e.g., 61.8,70.5,78.6)
History: number of past sessions to retain
Opacity, line width/style, and label size
Custom label text per session (e.g., “Asia OTE”)
Break/Mitigation Behavior:
Enable Mitigated Candles (bar color on break)
Remove line on touch and/or remove label on touch
Require body close (vs. wick touch)
Custom break colors by session and side
Timestamps
Opening horizontal line (time, style, width, color, label text/size, drawing limit)
Two vertical timestamps (times, style, width, color, drawing limit)
Alerts
Master Enable Alerts
Per-session toggles for High/Low touches
OTE touch alerts
How it works (under the hood)
Detects session state via input.session() windows in the chosen timezone.
Live session High/Low lines and labels update in real time; on session end, final levels are stored with optional labels and tracked length.
OTE zones are live-computed from current session High↔Low and refreshed every bar; a compact rolling history is enforced.
Bar coloring reacts to break events (touch or body-close, per your setting) and uses session-specific colors when enabled.
Timestamp lines/labels are created on each occurrence and trimmed to a drawing limit for performance.
Tips:
To hide session lines but keep boxes, set line color opacity to 0.
Use Timeframe Limit to keep higher-TF charts clean.
Fine-tune OTE Levels and History to balance clarity and performance.
For stricter break logic, enable Require Body Close.
Note: The script reserves high limits for lines/labels/boxes to keep recent context visible while managing cleanup automatically. Adjust “Session Number” and “Number Of Boxes” to suit your workflow.

January Barometer OverlayDescription:
The January Barometer Overlay is a dynamic Pine Script indicator that visualizes the classic "January Barometer" seasonal forecasting concept directly on your TradingView chart. This tool stretches the intra-month price action of January (relative to its opening close) proportionally across the entire year, creating a predictive projection line that overlays your price candles. It's perfect for spotting potential yearly trends based on January's performance—e.g., if January ends up 5%, the projection forecasts a similar relative gain by December. For multi-year views, it applies a separate stretched projection for each year's January, color-coded for easy distinction: even years in hot yellow, odd years in vibrant pink. Whether you're analyzing stocks like SPY, cryptos like ETHUSD, or forex, this overlay turns historical seasonality into an intuitive, forward-looking guide. Note: It's illustrative for strategy brainstorming, not financial advice—backtest and combine with other indicators for real trades!
Key Features:
Proportional Stretching: Maps January's daily ratios to the full ~365 days (leap years handled automatically).
Future Projection: Extends the line into unloaded future bars for "what-if" forecasting.
Multi-Year Support: Alternating colors (yellow for even years, pink for odd) make historical comparisons pop.
Smooth Interpolation: Linear blending between January points for a clean, non-stepped line.
Historical Edge (S&P 500 Context): The January Barometer has ~75% directional accuracy since 1950, with positive Januaries signaling an 89% chance of yearly gains averaging +21.6%. Use it as a seasonal bias booster!
Instructions to Add and Use on TradingView
1. Search in Indicators: On any chart, click the Indicators button (fx icon) at the top. Search for "January Barometer Overlay" (or your custom title if you rename it).
2. Add to Chart: Select it from the Public Library results—Boom, it's overlaid!
Tips & Limitations:
Works on any ticker, but shines on indices/crypto with clear seasonal patterns.
Requires full January data; projections update live as January progresses.
Not a guarantee—markets evolve! Test on historical data (e.g., 2020's wild January vs. actual crash). If errors pop up, ensure you're on daily bars.
Squeeze Weekday Frequency [CHE] Squeeze Weekday Frequency — Tracks historical frequency of low-volatility squeezes by weekday to inform timing of low-risk setups.
Summary
This indicator monitors periods of unusually low volatility, defined as when the average true range falls below a percentile threshold, and tallies their occurrences across each weekday. By aggregating these counts over the chart's history, it reveals patterns in squeeze frequency, helping traders avoid or target specific days for reduced noise. The approach uses persistent counters to ensure accurate daily tallies without duplicates, providing a robust view of weekday biases in volatility regimes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face inconsistent signal quality due to varying volatility patterns tied to the trading calendar, such as quieter mid-week sessions or busier Mondays. This indicator addresses that by binning low-volatility events into weekday buckets, allowing users to spot recurring low-activity days where trends may develop with less whipsaw. It focuses on historical aggregation rather than real-time alerts, emphasizing pattern recognition over prediction.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional volatility trackers like simple moving averages of range or standalone Bollinger Band squeezes, which ignore temporal distribution.
- Architecture differences:
- Employs array-based persistent counters for each weekday to accumulate events without recounting.
- Includes duplicate prevention via day-key tracking to handle sparse data.
- Features on-demand sorting and conditional display modes for focused insights.
- Practical effect: Charts show a persistent table of ranked weekdays instead of transient plots, making it easier to glance at biases like higher squeezes on Fridays, which reduces the need for manual logging and highlights calendar-driven edges.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the average true range over a specified lookback period to gauge recent volatility. It then ranks this value against its own history within a sliding window to identify squeezes when the rank drops below the threshold. Each bar's timestamp is resolved to a weekday using the selected timezone, and a unique day identifier is generated from the date components.
On detecting a squeeze and valid price data, it checks against a stored last-marked day for that weekday to avoid multiple counts per day. If it's a new occurrence, the corresponding weekday counter in an array increments. Total days and data-valid days are tracked separately for context.
At the chart's last bar, it sums all counters to compute shares, sorts weekdays by their squeeze proportions, and populates a table with the selected subset. The table alternates row colors and highlights the peak weekday. An info label above the final bar summarizes totals and the top day. Background shading applies a faint red to squeeze bars for visual confirmation. State persists via variable arrays initialized once, ensuring counts build incrementally without resets.
Parameter Guide
ATR Length — Sets the lookback for measuring average true range, influencing squeeze sensitivity to short-term swings. Default: 14. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but raise false positives in chop; longer smooths for stability, potentially missing early squeezes.
Percentile Window (bars) — Defines the history length for ranking the current ATR, balancing recent relevance with sample size. Default: 252. Trade-offs/Tips: Narrower windows adapt faster to regime shifts but amplify noise; wider ones stabilize ranks yet lag in fast markets—aim for 100-500 bars on daily charts.
Squeeze threshold (PR < x) — Determines the cutoff for low-volatility classification; lower values flag rarer, tighter squeezes. Default: 10.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Tighter thresholds (under 5) yield fewer but higher-quality signals, reducing clutter; looser (over 20) captures more events at the cost of relevance.
Timezone — Selects the reference for weekday assignment; exchange default aligns with asset's session. Default: Exchange. Trade-offs/Tips: Use custom for cross-market analysis, but verify alignment to avoid offset errors in global pairs.
Show — Toggles the results table visibility for quick on/off of the display. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to save screen space; re-enable for periodic reviews.
Pos — Positions the table on the chart pane for optimal viewing. Default: Top Right. Trade-offs/Tips: Bottom options suit long-term charts; test placements to avoid overlapping price action.
Font — Adjusts text size in the table for readability at different zooms. Default: normal. Trade-offs/Tips: Smaller fonts fit more data but strain eyes on small screens; larger for presentations.
Dark — Applies a dark color scheme to the table for contrast against chart backgrounds. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Toggle false for light themes; ensures legibility without manual recoloring.
Display — Filters table rows to show all, top three, or bottom three weekdays by squeeze share. Default: All. Trade-offs/Tips: Use "Top 3" for focus on high-frequency days in active trading; "All" for full audits.
Reading & Interpretation
Red-tinted backgrounds mark individual squeeze bars, indicating current low-volatility conditions. The table's summary row shows the highest squeeze count, its percentage of total events, and the associated weekday in teal. Detail rows list selected weekdays with their absolute counts, proportional shares, and a left arrow for the peak day—higher percentages signal days where squeezes cluster, suggesting potential for calmer trend development. The info label reports overall days observed, valid data days, and reiterates the top weekday with its count. Drifting counts toward zero on a weekday imply rarity, while elevated ones point to habitual low-activity sessions.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Scan for squeezes on high-frequency weekdays as entry filters, confirming with higher highs or lower lows in the structure; pair with momentum oscillators to time breaks.
- Exits/Stops: On low-squeeze days, widen stops for breathing room, tightening them during peak squeeze periods to guard against false breaks—use the table's percentages as a regime proxy.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and indices on hourly or daily frames; for stocks, adjust percentile window to 100 for shorter histories. Scale thresholds up by 5-10 points for high-vol assets like crypto to maintain signal sparsity.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Counts update only on confirmed bars via day-key changes, with no future references—live bars may shade red tentatively but tallies finalize at session close.
- security()/HTF: Not used, so no higher-timeframe repaint risks; all computations stay in the chart's resolution.
- Resources: Relies on a fixed-size array of seven elements and small loops for sorting and table fills, capped at 5000 bars back—efficient for most charts but may slow on very long intraday histories.
- Known limits: Ignores weekends and holidays implicitly via data presence; early chart bars lack full percentile context, leading to initial undercounting; assumes continuous sessions, so gaps in data (e.g., news halts) skew totals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the built-in values for broad-market daily charts: ATR at 14, window at 252, threshold at 10. For noisier environments, lower the threshold to 5 and shorten the window to 100 to prioritize rare squeezes. If too few events appear, raise the threshold to 15 and extend ATR to 20 for broader capture. To combat overcounting in sparse data, widen the window to 500 while keeping others stock—monitor the info label's data-days count before trusting patterns.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This serves as a statistical overlay for spotting calendar-based volatility biases, aiding in session selection and filter design. It is not a standalone signal generator, predictive model, or risk manager—integrate it with price action, volume, and broader strategy rules for decisions.

First-Move-Wrong Toolkit [CHE] First-Move-Wrong Toolkit — Session-bound sweep rejection with structure confirmation
Summary
This indicator marks potential “first move wrong” reversals during a defined trading session. It looks for a quick sweep beyond the prior day high or low, or the opening range high or low, followed by rejection and a basic structure confirmation. Optional rules require a retest and a VWAP reclaim in the direction of the trade idea. The script renders session levels as right-extended lines, signals as labels, optional SL/TP guide lines for visualization, and background tints during sweep events. Pivots are confirmed using swing width, which reduces repaint risk compared to live swings.
Motivation: Why this design?
Intraday reversals often start with a liquidity sweep around obvious highs or lows. Acting on the sweep alone can be noisy, while waiting for structure break and a retest can be slow. This tool balances both by checking a sweep and rejection at session-relevant levels, then requiring a simple structure cue and, optionally, a retest and a VWAP filter. The goal is a clear, rule-based signal layer that is easy to audit on chart without hidden state.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Simple sweep detectors or basic CHOCH markers that ignore session context and liquidity anchors.
Architecture differences:
Session-aware opening range tracking that finalizes after the chosen minutes from session start.
Daily previous high and low pulled without lookahead, then extended forward as visual anchors.
Confirmed pivot highs and lows to avoid repaint from live, unconfirmed swings.
Optional retest rule using crossover or crossunder at the trigger level.
Optional VWAP filter to demand reclaim in the intended direction.
Global label cooldown to prevent clusters of signals.
Practical effect: Fewer one-off flips around noisy levels, clearer alignment with session structure, and compact visual feedback through lines, labels, and tints.
How it works (technical)
Levels: During the defined session, the script builds an opening range high and low until the configured minute mark after session start, then freezes those levels for the day. It also fetches the previous day high and low from the daily timeframe without lookahead and extends them forward.
Sweep and rejection: A sweep is defined as price moving beyond a target level and then rejecting back inside on the same bar. The script checks this condition separately for highs and lows against opening range and previous-day levels.
Structure validation: Confirmed pivot highs and lows are computed using a symmetric swing width. A bearish idea requires a prior sweep of a high plus a break through the last confirmed swing low. A bullish idea requires a prior sweep of a low plus a break through the last confirmed swing high.
Optional retest: If enabled, a bearish signal needs a cross under the bearish trigger level; a bullish signal needs a cross over the bullish trigger level.
VWAP filter (optional): The script requires a reclaim of VWAP in the intended direction when enabled.
State handling: Opening range values, previous-day lines, and the label cooldown timestamp are stored in persistent variables. Lines are created once and updated each bar to extend forward.
Repaint considerations: Pivots confirm only after the specified swing width, reducing repaint. The daily level request is performed without lookahead. Signals use closed-bar checks implied by crossover and crossunder logic.
Parameter Guide
Session (local) — Defines the active trading window. Default nine to seventeen. Narrower windows focus on the main session drive.
Opening Range (min) — Minutes from session start to finalize OR levels. Default fifteen. Shorter values react faster; longer values stabilize levels.
Use PrevDay H/L levels — Toggle previous-day anchors. On by default.
Use OR H/L levels — Toggle opening range anchors. On by default.
Equal H/L tolerance (ticks) — Intended tolerance for equal highs or lows. Default one. (Unknown/Optional) in current signals.
Swing width — Bars on both sides for confirmed pivots. Default two. Larger values reduce noise but confirm later.
Require CHOCH after sweep — Enforces structure break after a sweep. On by default.
Prefer retest entries — Requires crossover or crossunder of the trigger level. On by default.
VWAP filter — Demands a reclaim of VWAP in signal direction. Off by default.
TP in R (guide) — Multiplier for visual TP guides. Default one. Visualization only.
Show levels / Show signals / Show R-guides — Rendering toggles. R-guides are visual aids, not orders.
Label cooldown (bars) — Minimum bars between labels. Default five. Higher values reduce clusters.
Palette inputs — Colors and transparencies for levels, labels, VWAP, and tints.
Reading & Interpretation
Lines: Dotted lines represent opening range high and low after the OR window completes. Dashed lines represent previous-day high and low.
Signals: “Long” labels appear after a low-side sweep with rejection and structure confirmation, subject to optional retest and VWAP rules. “Short” labels mirror this on the high side.
Background tints: Red-tinted bars indicate a high-side sweep and rejection. Green-tinted bars indicate a low-side sweep and rejection.
R-guides: Circles display a visual stop level at the bar extreme and a target guide based on the selected multiple. They are informational only.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Session reversal scans: During the first hour, watch for sweeps around previous-day or opening range levels, then wait for structure confirmation and optional retest.
Trend following with filters: Combine signals with higher-timeframe structure or a moving average regime check. Ignore signals against the dominant regime.
Exits and stops: Use the visual stop as a reference near the sweep extreme; adapt the target guide to volatility and market conditions.
Multi-asset / Multi-TF: Works on intraday timeframes for liquid futures, indices, forex, and large-cap equities. Start with default settings and adjust swing width and OR minutes to instrument volatility.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Repaint/confirmation: Pivots confirm after the swing window completes. Signals occur only when conditions are met on closed bars.
security()/HTF: Daily previous-day levels are requested without lookahead to reduce repaint.
Resources: Uses persistent variables and line updates per bar; no heavy loops or arrays.
Known limits: Signals can arrive later when swing width is large. Gaps around session boundaries may distort OR levels. VWAP behavior may vary with partial sessions or illiquid assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Starting point: Session nine to seventeen, opening range fifteen minutes, swing width two, CHOCH required, retest on, VWAP off, cooldown five bars.
Too many flips: Increase swing width, enable VWAP filter, or raise label cooldown.
Too sluggish: Reduce swing width or shorten the opening range window.
Too many session-level hits: Disable either previous-day levels or opening range levels to simplify context.

OrderBlocks by exp3rts (Non-Repainting)The OrderBlocks by exp3rts indicator automatically identifies and visualizes bullish and bearish order blocks using confirmed, non-repainting fractals combined with Fair Value Gap (FVG) validation for enhanced accuracy.
This tool is designed to help traders spot high-probability institutional price zones — areas where large buy or sell orders previously caused significant moves — allowing you to anticipate potential reversal, continuation, or mitigation levels with precision.
Core Features
✅ Non-Repainting Logic: Uses confirmed 3- or 5-bar fractals only after full pattern completion.
📈 Dynamic Order Block Detection: Marks both bullish and bearish OBs automatically.
⚖️ FVG Filter (Optional): Optionally require a Fair Value Gap within a user-defined distance to confirm valid OBs.
🎯 Customizable OB Lines: Adjust color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), width, and body/wick placement.
🧹 Auto-Cleanup: Option to remove order block lines once price has been mitigated (touched/filled).
🔺🔻 Fractal Display: Toggle fractal highs/lows on or off for extra structure clarity.
⚡ Optimized for Performance: Uses efficient array management to run smoothly within TradingView’s bar processing limits.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.

Watch for bullish OBs (green lines) near potential demand zones and bearish OBs (red lines) near supply zones.
Use in confluence with market structure and liquidity concepts for best results.
Settings Overview
Fractal Filter: Choose between 3-bar or 5-bar swing fractals.
Order Block Type: Detect OBs based on Close or High/Low break structure.
FVG Filter: Optionally require nearby Fair Value Gaps.
Delete After Fill: Automatically remove mitigated OBs.
Visuals: Customize line color, thickness, and style for clear chart integration.
Made for any timeframe & any market.
Background Trend Follower by exp3rtsThe Background Trend Follower indicator visually highlights the market’s daily directional bias using subtle background colors. It calculates the price change from the daily open and shades the chart background according to the current intraday momentum.
🟢 Green background → Price is significantly above the daily open (strong bullish trend)
🔴 Red background → Price is significantly below the daily open (strong bearish trend)
🟡 Yellow background → Price is trading near the daily open (neutral or consolidating phase)
The script automatically detects each new trading day.
It records the opening price at the start of the day.
As the session progresses, it continuously measures how far the current price has moved from that open.
When the move exceeds ±50 points (custom threshold), the background color adapts to reflect the trend strength.
Perfect for traders who want a quick visual sense of intraday bias — bullish, bearish, or neutral — without cluttering the chart with extra indicators.

Multi-Session Futures Range Boxes(NY, Europe, & Asia)Multi-Session Boxes — ASIA / EUROPE / NEW YORK
This indicator draws session boxes for three custom trading sessions and updates them live on intraday charts.
Each box tracks the high, low, and open of its session; the box color switches Up/Down based on whether the current price is above or below the session open.
Default setup
• ASIA — 20:00–02:59 (ET), Purple (bg/border), opacity 90
• EUROPE — 03:00–09:29 (ET), Turquoise (bg/border), opacity 90
• NEW YORK — 09:30–16:00 (ET), Yellow (bg/border), opacity 90
You can change times, time zones (IANA names like America/New_York, UTC, Europe/London), colors, opacity, and border width per session from the settings. Each session also has an Enable toggle.
How it works
• At each session’s first bar, the indicator records the open and initializes high/low.
• During the session, it updates the highest high / lowest low and stretches the box to the current bar.
• Box background & border use your Up/Down colors:
◦ Up if close > session open
◦ Down otherwise
• Works on intraday timeframes only (as with the original script).
Notes for futures
• The box schedule is based on your selected time zone.
• If you keep ASIA at 20:00, the gap between 16:00–20:00 ET (post-RTH / Globex evening) is intentionally unboxed so Asia’s H/L aren’t polluted by thin trade.
• If you prefer to fill that gap visually, you can add a separate “Evening” session later without changing Asia’s times.
Quarter Levels — Auto Recentering NQ onlyQuarter Levels — Auto Recentering (PERMANENT) + Big Offset Labels
What it is
This tool paints true horizontal key levels that traders naturally anchor to: the 00 / 25 / 50 / 75 quarter levels (black), the 35 / 65 / 90 reaction levels (red), and the 10 / 80 sweep/edge levels (purple).
Lines are infinite horizontals and the grid auto-recenters ±200 points around current price each new bar. Labels on the right show the last two digits (e.g., 25, 35, 50, 65, 75, 80, 90), so you instantly know which level you’re at.
Why it helps
Markets often “snap” to simple numbers. These levels create a clean scaffold for intraday structure, pullbacks, and rotations—without clutter or lagging math.
Color Legend
Black — 00 / 25 / 50 / 75:
Core quarter levels. Expect frequent pauses, re-tests, and rotations.
Use: default S/R map; bias for mean-reversion inside ranges.
Red — 35 / 65 / 90:
“Continuation / reaction” levels. Price often accelerates through these once momentum takes.
Use: breakout guides and precise take-profit targets.
Purple — 10 / 80:
Sweep / edge levels. Price often wicks into these and rejects.
Use: fade the last push, or confirm a sweep before a reversal.
How it works
The script draws the levels as extend.both horizontals (not derived from candle points).
Every new bar, it rebuilds the grid around close ± 200 pts (editable in code: RANGE_POINTS).
Prices are snapped to tick (syminfo.mintick) so lines lock to the Y-axis.
Labels show only the offset (two-digit number) to keep the chart clean.
Setup & Customization
No inputs required.
If you want tweaks, open the code and edit at the top:
RANGE_POINTS – widen/narrow the vertical coverage.
LABEL_OFFSET – push labels further to the right.
LABEL_SIZE – size.small / normal / large.
Color & width constants (per group).
Practical Use (playbook)
Use this grid as a price map, not a signal generator. Combine it with your execution tools.
1) In Range Conditions
Fade to Black: When price rotates inside a range, look for exhaustion into black levels (00/25/50/75).
Plan: wait for rejection (wick + failed follow-through), enter back toward the mid/next quarter. Stop just beyond the level; first target the next red or black.
Purple Sweeps: Watch quick spikes into 10/80 that immediately fail.
Plan: fade the sweep with tight risk; scale out at 25/75; hold a runner to 50.
2) In Trend / Momentum
Red Rails (35/65/90): When momentum is strong, price often steps through red levels cleanly.
Plan: use them as continuation targets or trail anchors. If pullback holds above a prior red level, consider continuation with stop below that level.
Quarter-to-Quarter Ladders: In clean trends, expect quarter-to-quarter traversals (00→25→50→75→00…).
Plan: add on pullbacks to 25 or 50 with trend confirmation (e.g., 9/21 EMA stack or anchored VWAP hold).
3) Confluence (AI-logic suggestions)
Pair the grid with any two of:
VWAP / Anchored VWAP: Rejections at a quarter level + VWAP = higher quality entry.
EMAs (9/21/50/200): Use as directional filter. Only take longs at quarters when fast EMAs > slow EMAs.
Liquidity cues: Prior high/low, session O/H/L, or liquidity pools aligning with a quarter level.
Orderflow / footprint: Aggressive delta through a red level? Expect follow-through to the next black or red.
Volatility (ATR): If ATR expands, lean more on red levels (continuations). In compression, lean more on black and purple (fades).
Risk & Management Tips
Stops: Just beyond the level you’re trading against. Let the level “be wrong” to prove you wrong.
Targets: Next red or black line. Scale at the first, hold a small runner to the next.
Session awareness: Levels interact differently in Asia/EU/US. In US RTH, expect sharper responses at red and purple.
Timeframes: Works across all. Intraday (1–15m) for entries; 1h/4h daily for context.
Do not chase: If you miss the touch, wait for the next level; the map is dense by design.
Limitations
This indicator does not generate buy/sell signals; it supplies a stable structure.
In runaway trends, price can cut through multiple lines—use trend filters and risk caps.
Auto-recentering means the visible band travels with price; if you need static levels far away, increase RANGE_POINTS.
Troubleshooting
No labels? Make sure max_labels_count isn’t hit and SHOW_LABELS = true.
Labels too close to price? Increase LABEL_OFFSET.
Too many lines? Reduce RANGE_POINTS or hide a color group in code.

EMA50/200 — Nth Close After Break (Up/Down/Both)This indicator tracks EMA-based momentum confirmation using a customizable N-bar rule.
🧠 Logic:
- You can choose whether to track EMA 50 or EMA 200.
- When the price breaks above (or below) the selected EMA, the indicator starts counting.
- If the price stays on that side of the EMA for N consecutive closes, a single signal is triggered on the Nth bar.
- After signaling, the counter resets — the next signal appears only after a new EMA break.
⚙️ Parameters:
- Target EMA: Choose which EMA (50 or 200) the logic is based on.
- N: Number of consecutive bars required after a break.
- Direction: Up / Down / Both.
- Optional trend filters: Require EMA50 > EMA200 for Up signals, or EMA50 < EMA200 for Down signals.
- Blue ▲ = Bullish signal (Nth close after breaking above EMA)
- Red ▼ = Bearish signal (Nth close after breaking below EMA)
✅ Ideal for identifying strong trend confirmations and filtering out false EMA breakouts.

Squeeze Hour Frequency [CHE]Squeeze Hour Frequency (ATR-PR) — Standalone — Tracks daily squeeze occurrences by hour to reveal time-based volatility patterns
Summary
This indicator identifies periods of unusually low volatility, defined as squeezes, and tallies their frequency across each hour of the day over historical trading sessions. By aggregating counts into a sortable table, it helps users spot hours prone to these conditions, enabling better scheduling of trading activity to avoid or target specific intraday regimes. Signals gain robustness through percentile-based detection that adapts to recent volatility history, differing from fixed-threshold methods by focusing on relative lowness rather than absolute levels, which reduces false positives in varying market environments.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face uneven intraday volatility, with certain hours showing clustered low-activity phases that precede or follow breakouts, leading to mistimed entries or overlooked calm periods. The core idea of hourly squeeze frequency addresses this by binning low-volatility events into 24 hourly slots and counting distinct daily occurrences, providing a historical profile of when squeezes cluster. This reveals time-of-day biases without relying on real-time alerts, allowing proactive adjustments to session focus.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Classical volatility tools like simple moving average crossovers or fixed ATR thresholds, which flag squeezes uniformly across the day.
- Architecture differences:
- Uses persistent arrays to track one squeeze per hour per day, preventing overcounting within sessions.
- Employs custom sorting on ratio arrays for dynamic table display, prioritizing top or bottom performers.
- Handles timezones explicitly to ensure consistent binning across global assets.
- Practical effect: Charts show a persistent table ranking hours by squeeze share, making intraday patterns immediately visible—such as a top hour capturing over 20 percent of total events—unlike static overlays that ignore temporal distribution, which matters for avoiding low-liquidity traps in crypto or forex.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a rolling volatility measure over a specified lookback period. It then derives a relative ranking of the current value against recent history within a window of bars. A squeeze is flagged when this ranking falls below a user-defined cutoff, indicating the value is among the lowest in the recent sample.
On each bar, the local hour is extracted using the selected timezone. If a squeeze occurs and the bar has price data, the count for that hour increments only if no prior mark exists for the current day, using a persistent array to store the last marked day per hour. This ensures one tally per unique trading day per slot.
At the final bar, arrays compile counts and ratios for all 24 hours, where the ratio represents each hour's share of total squeezes observed. These are sorted ascending or descending based on display mode, and the top or bottom subset populates the table. Background shading highlights live squeezes in red for visual confirmation. Initialization uses zero-filled arrays for counts and negative seeds for day tracking, with state persisting across bars via variable declarations.
No higher timeframe data is pulled, so there is no repaint risk from external fetches; all logic runs on confirmed bars.
Parameter Guide
ATR Length — Controls the lookback for the volatility measure, influencing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations; shorter values increase responsiveness but add noise, longer ones smooth for stability — Default: 14 — Trade-offs/Tips: Use 10-20 for intraday charts to balance quick detection with fewer false squeezes; test on historical data to avoid over-smoothing in trending markets.
Percentile Window (bars) — Sets the history depth for ranking the current volatility value, affecting how "low" is defined relative to past; wider windows emphasize long-term norms — Default: 252 — Trade-offs/Tips: 100-300 bars suit daily cycles; narrower for fast assets like crypto to catch recent regimes, but risks instability in sparse data.
Squeeze threshold (PR < x) — Defines the cutoff for flagging low relative volatility, where values below this mark a squeeze; lower thresholds tighten detection for rarer events — Default: 10.0 — Trade-offs/Tips: 5-15 percent for conservative signals reducing false positives; raise to 20 for more frequent highlights in high-vol environments, monitoring for increased noise.
Timezone — Specifies the reference for hourly binning, ensuring alignment with market sessions — Default: Exchange — Trade-offs/Tips: Set to "America/New_York" for US assets; mismatches can skew counts, so verify against chart timezone.
Show Table — Toggles the results display, essential for reviewing frequencies — Default: true — Trade-offs/Tips: Disable on mobile for performance; pair with position tweaks for clean overlays.
Pos — Places the table on the chart pane — Default: Top Right — Trade-offs/Tips: Bottom Left avoids candle occlusion on volatile charts.
Font — Adjusts text readability in the table — Default: normal — Trade-offs/Tips: Tiny for dense views, large for emphasis on key hours.
Dark — Applies high-contrast colors for visibility — Default: true — Trade-offs/Tips: Toggle false in light themes to prevent washout.
Display — Filters table rows to focus on extremes or full list — Default: All — Trade-offs/Tips: Top 3 for quick scans of risky hours; Bottom 3 highlights safe low-squeeze periods.
Reading & Interpretation
Red background shading appears on bars meeting the squeeze condition, signaling current low relative volatility. The table lists hours as "H0" to "H23", with columns for daily squeeze counts, percentage share of total squeezes (summing to 100 percent across hours), and an arrow marker on the top hour. A summary row above details the peak count, its share, and the leading hour. A label at the last bar recaps total days observed, data-valid days, and top hour stats. Rising shares indicate clustering, suggesting regime persistence in that slot.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Scan for hours with low squeeze shares to enter during stable regimes; confirm with higher highs or lower lows on the 15-minute chart, avoiding top-share hours post-news like tariff announcements.
- Exits/Stops: Tighten stops in high-share hours to guard against sudden vol spikes; use the table to shift to conservative sizing outside peak squeeze times.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across crypto pairs on 5-60 minute timeframes; for stocks, widen percentile window to 500 bars. Combine with volume oscillators—enter only if squeeze count is below average for the asset.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Logic executes on closed bars, with live bars updating counts provisionally but finalizing on confirmation; table refreshes only at the last bar, avoiding intrabar flicker. No security calls or higher timeframes, so no repaint from external data. Resources include a 5000-bar history limit, loops up to 24 iterations for sorting and totals, and arrays sized to 24 elements; labels and table are capped at 500 each for efficiency. Known limits: Skips hours without bars (e.g., weekends), assumes uniform data availability, and may undercount in sparse sessions; timezone shifts can alter profiles without warning.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with ATR Length at 14, Percentile Window at 252, and threshold at 10.0 for broad crypto use. If too many squeezes flag (noisy table), raise threshold to 15.0 and narrow window to 100 for stricter relative lowness. For sluggish detection in calm markets, drop ATR Length to 10 and threshold to 5.0 to capture subtler dips. In high-vol assets, widen window to 500 and threshold to 20.0 for stability.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a historical frequency tracker and visualization layer for intraday volatility patterns, best as a filter in multi-tool setups. It is not a standalone signal generator, predictive model, or risk manager—pair it with price action, news filters, and position sizing rules.
