Bollinger Volatility AnalyzerThe Bollinger Volatility Analyzer (BVA) is a powerful enhancement of the traditional Bollinger Bands indicator, tailored to help traders identify volatility cycles and catch potential breakouts with better precision and timing. It builds upon the foundational concept of Bollinger Bands—using a moving average and standard deviation bands—but adds crucial insights into market contraction and expansion, which can be instrumental in timing entries and exits.
Here's how it works and why it's useful
At its core, the indicator calculates a moving average (called the "basis") and plots two bands—one above and one below—based on a multiple of standard deviation. These bands expand during volatile periods and contract during quiet ones. The width between these bands, normalized as a percentage of the basis, gives us a sense of how compressed or expanded the market currently is. When the band width drops below a user-defined threshold (like 2%), the script highlights this with an orange triangle below the bar. This is the "squeeze" condition, signaling a potential buildup of market energy—a kind of calm before the storm.
What makes this version of Bollinger Bands particularly powerful is that it not only detects squeezes, but also tells you when price breaks out of that squeeze range. If price closes above the upper band after a squeeze, a green "Breakout ↑" label is shown; if it closes below the lower band, a red "Breakout ↓" appears. These breakout labels act as entry signals, suggesting that volatility is returning and a directional move has begun.
This indicator is especially useful in markets that tend to alternate between consolidation and breakout phases, such as forex, crypto, and even individual stocks. Traders who look for early signs of momentum—whether for swing trading, scalping, or position building—can benefit from this tool. During a quiet market phase, the indicator warns you that a move might be coming; when the move starts, it tells you the direction.
In fast-moving markets, BVA helps filter out noise by focusing only on high-probability conditions: quiet consolidation followed by a strong breakout. It’s not a complete system by itself—it works best when paired with volume confirmation or oscillators like RSI—but as a volatility trigger and directional guide, it’s a reliable component of a trading workflow.

Entropy Bands (TechnoBlooms)Entropy Bands — A New Era of Volatility and Trend Analysis
Entropy Bands is our next indicator as a part of the Quantum Price Theory (QPT) Series of indicators.
🧠 Overview
Entropy Bands are an advanced volatility-based indicator that reimagines traditional banded systems like Bollinger Bands.
Built on entropy theory, adaptive moving averages, and dynamic volatility measurement, Entropy Bands provide deeper insights into market randomness, trend strength, and breakout potential.
Instead of only relying on price deviation (like Bollinger Bands), Entropy Bands integrate chaos theory principles to create smarter, more responsive dynamic bands that adapt to real market behavior.
🚀Why is Entropy Bands Different — and Better
Dynamic Band Width : Adjusts using both entropy and ATR, creating smarter expansion/contraction.
Multi-Moving Average Core : Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA for optimal centerline behavior.
Noise and Breakout Filtering : Filters fake breakouts by analyzing candle body size and entropy conditions.
Visual Clarity : Background and candle coloring highlight chaotic/noisy zones, trend zones, and breakout moments.
Entropy Bands don't just react to price — they analyze the underlying market behavior, offering superior decision-making signals.
📚 Watch Band Behavior:
Bands expand during volatility spikes or chaotic conditions.
Bands contract during low volatility or tight consolidation zones.
📚 Analyze Candle Coloring:
Green = Bullish breakout (closing above upper band).
Pink = Bearish breakout (closing below lower band).
Gray = Inside bands (neutral/random noise).
✨ Key Features of Entropy Bands:
Entropy-Based Band Width Calculation: A scientific edge over pure price deviation methods.
Dynamic Background Coloring: Highlights high entropy areas where randomness dominates.
Candle Breakout Coloring: Easy-to-spot trend breakouts and strength moves.
Multi-MA Flexibility: Adapt the bands’ core to trending, ranging, or volatile markets.
Body Size Filter: Protects against fake breakouts by requiring meaningful candle body moves.
Aggregate PDH High Break Alert**Aggregate PDH High Break Alert**
**Overview**
The “Aggregate PDH High Break Alert” is a lightweight Pine Script v6 indicator designed to instantly notify you when today’s price breaks above any prior-day high in a user-defined lookback window. Instead of manually scanning dozens of daily highs, this script automatically loops through the last _N_ days (up to 100) and fires a single-bar alert the moment price eclipses a specific day’s high.
**Key Features**
- **Dynamic Lookback**: Choose any lookback period from 1 to 100 days via a single `High-Break Lookback` input.
- **Single Security Call**: Efficiently retrieves the entire daily-high series in one call to avoid TradingView’s 40-call security limit.
- **Automatic Looping**: Internally loops through each prior-day high, so there’s no need to manually code dozens of lines.
- **Custom Alerts**: Generates a clear, formatted alert message—e.g. “Crossed high from 7 day(s) ago”—for each breakout.
- **Lightweight & Maintainable**: Compact codebase (<15 lines) makes tweaking and debugging a breeze.
**Inputs**
- **High-Break Lookback (days)**: Number of past days to monitor for high breaks. Valid range: 1–100.
**How to Use**
1. **Add to Chart**: Open TradingView, click “Indicators,” then “Create,” and paste in the code.
2. **Configure Lookback**: In the script’s settings, set your desired lookback window (e.g., 20 for the past 20 days).
3. **Enable Alerts**: Right-click the indicator’s name on your chart, select “Add Alert on Aggregate PDH High Break Alert,” and choose “Once per bar close.”
4. **Receive Notifications**: Whenever price crosses above any of the specified prior-day highs, you’ll get an on-screen and/or mobile push alert with the exact number of days ago.
**Use Cases**
- **Trend Confirmation**: Confirm fresh bullish momentum when today’s high outpaces any of the last _N_ days.
- **Breakout Trading**: Automate entries off multi-day highs without manual chart scanning.
- **System Integration**: Integrate with alerts to trigger orders in third-party bots or webhook receivers.
**Disclaimer**
Breakouts alone do not guarantee sustained moves. Combine with your preferred risk management, volume filters, and other indicators for higher-probability setups. Use on markets and timeframes where daily breakout behavior aligns with your strategy.
Akkerman IMB + Targets IndicatorAkkerman IMB + Targets Indicator
The Akkerman IMB + Targets Indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use the Smart Money Concept (SMC) methodology for intraday trading. This indicator combines several key elements of technical analysis, such as IMB (Imbalance) zones, liquidity zones, and intraday targets, to help traders identify significant levels on the chart for potential entry and exit points.
Main Features of the Indicator:
IMB (Imbalance) Zones:
The indicator detects IMB zones (imbalances) on the chart, which are often significant for the market because these zones can signal unsupported price moves where the market may either retrace or continue the move.
Green box — indicates a bullish IMB, where the price moves downward but does not reach the previous "low" level.
Red box — indicates a bearish IMB, where the price moves upward but does not reach the previous "high" level.
Liquidity Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones, which are critical levels for potential retracements or breakouts. These zones are determined by equal highs and lows on the chart (where the price has made similar highs or lows).
Triangles or lines highlight levels where significant buy or sell orders might be gathered.
Intraday Target Lines:
The indicator generates targets for intraday trading based on support and resistance levels over the last 10 periods.
These target lines on the chart indicate potential entry or exit points based on the lowest and highest prices over the past 10 bars, which represent key points for trading within the current session.
Indicator Settings:
Show IMB: Toggle to show or hide IMB zones on the chart.
Show Liquidity Zones: Toggle to show or hide liquidity zones on the chart.
Show Targets (Intraday): Toggle to show or hide intraday target lines.
Max Targets (maxTargets): Set the maximum number of targets to display on the chart.
How to Use:
IMB Zones help identify potential retracement or breakout zones on the market. These zones are a critical part of Smart Money analysis, as markets often retrace to these areas after significant price moves.
Liquidity Zones provide clues about where large orders may be gathered, which could lead to a retracement or breakout.
Intraday Targets assist in identifying important levels for entering or exiting trades within the current session to take advantage of short-term price movements.
Important Notes:
This indicator works best on the 1-hour timeframe (H1) for more accurate and stable signals.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical indicators and analysis methods.

Granular MA Ribbon🎗️ The Granular MA Ribbon provides a structured view of price action on lower timeframes by incorporating both price-based and volume-weighted moving averages, offering a more nuanced view of market trends and momentum shifts. Furthermore, by using 15-minute intervals for its calculations, it ensures that intraday traders receive a smooth and responsive representation of higher timeframe trends.
⚠️ Note that this indicator is specifically optimized for the 15-minute and 1-hour charts; applying it to longer or shorter periods will distort its calculations and reduce its effectiveness. Adjust visibility settings accordingly.
🧰 Unlike traditional moving averages that may lag or fail to reflect real-time shifts in price dynamics, the Granular MA Ribbon includes a one-day exponential moving average (1D EMA), a one-day volume-weighted moving average (1D VWMA), and a one-week exponential moving average (1W EMA). Together, these elements allow traders to stay aligned with the broader market while making precise intraday trading decisions.
🤷🏻 Why Two Daily Moving Averages?
🔊 Instead of relying on a single moving average, this indicator uses both an EMA and a VWMA to provide a clearer picture of price movement. The EMA reacts quickly to price changes, making it a useful tool for identifying short-term momentum shifts. The VWMA, meanwhile, accounts for volume, ensuring that price movements supported by higher trading activity carry greater weight in the trend calculation.
💪🏻 When the EMA and VWMA diverge significantly, it signals strong momentum. If they begin to converge, it suggests that momentum is weakening or that price may be entering consolidation. The space between these two moving averages is filled with a ribbon, making it easier to see shifts in trend strength. A wide ribbon typically indicates strong momentum, while a narrowing ribbon suggests the trend may be losing steam.
🧮 Calculation Rationale
🔎 The 1D EMA and 1D VWMA are constructed using 15-minute blocks to maintain accuracy on lower timeframes. A full trading day consists of 96 fifteen-minute intervals. Instead of relying on daily candle data, which would reduce the granularity of the moving averages, this method allows the indicator to reflect intra-day trends more accurately. By breaking the day into smaller increments, the moving averages adapt more smoothly to changes in price and volume, making them more reliable for traders working on shorter timeframes.
🔍 The weekly EMA follows the same logic, adjusting based on the selected five-day or seven-day setting. If the market follows a standard five-day trading week, the one-week EMA is calculated using 480 fifteen-minute bars. If the market trades seven days a week, such as in crypto, the weekly EMA is adjusted accordingly to reflect 672 fifteen-minute bars. This setting ensures that traders using the indicator across different asset classes receive accurate trend information.
🫤 Sideways Markets
🔄 When the broader market is in a range-bound state, with no clear trend on the one-day or one-week chart, this indicator helps traders make sense of the short-term price structure. In these conditions, the ribbon will often appear flat, with the 1D EMA and 1D VWMA frequently crossing each other. This suggests that momentum is weak and that price action lacks a strong directional bias.
⚠️ A narrowing ribbon in a sideways market indicates reduced volatility and a potential breakout. If the EMA crosses above the VWMA during consolidation, it may signal a short-term upward move, especially if volume begins to increase. Conversely, if the EMA moves below the VWMA, it could indicate that selling pressure is increasing. However, in choppy conditions, crossovers alone are not enough to confirm a trade. Traders should wait for additional confirmation, such as a breakout from a defined range or a shift in volume.
♭ If the weekly EMA remains flat while the daily ribbon fluctuates, it confirms that the market lacks a strong trend. In such cases, traders may consider fading moves near the top and bottom of a range rather than expecting sustained breakouts.
💹 Trending Markets
🏗️ When the market is in a strong uptrend or downtrend, the ribbon takes on a more structured shape. A widening ribbon that slopes upward signals strong bullish momentum, with price consistently respecting the 1D EMA and VWMA as support. In a downtrend, the ribbon slopes downward, acting as dynamic resistance.
📈 In trending conditions, traders can use the ribbon to time pullback entries. In an uptrend, price often retraces to the VWMA before resuming its upward move. If price holds above both the EMA and VWMA, the trend remains strong. If price begins to close below the VWMA but remains above the EMA, it suggests weakening momentum but not necessarily a reversal. A clean break below both moving averages indicates a shift in trend structure.
📊 The one-week EMA serves as a higher timeframe guide. When price remains above the weekly EMA, it confirms that the broader trend is intact. If price pulls back to the weekly EMA and bounces, it can provide a high-confidence trade entry. Conversely, if price breaks below the weekly EMA and fails to reclaim it, it suggests that the trend may be reversing.
⏳ 5-Day and 7-Day Week Variants
🎚️ The setting for a five-day or seven-day trading week adjusts the calculation of the one-week EMA. This ensures that the indicator remains accurate across different asset classes.
5️⃣ A five-day trading week is appropriate for stocks, futures, and forex markets, where trading pauses on weekends. Using a seven-day week for these markets would create artificial distortions by including non-trading days. 7️⃣ In contrast, the seven-day week setting is ideal for crypto markets, which trade continuously. Without this adjustment, the weekly EMA would fail to reflect weekend price action, leading to misleading trend signals.
🧐 This indicator is expressly designed to complement its higher timeframe counterpart, the Triple Differential Moving Average Braid, optimized for the 1-Day chart.

Multi SMA EMA VWAP1. Moving Average Crossover
This is one of the most common strategies with moving averages, and it involves observing crossovers between EMAs and SMAs to determine buy or sell signals.
Buy signal: When a faster EMA (like a short-term EMA) crosses above a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential upward movement.
Sell signal: When a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential downward movement.
With 4 EMAs and 5 SMAs, you can set up crossovers between different combinations, such as:
EMA(9) crosses above SMA(50) → buy.
EMA(9) crosses below SMA(50) → sell.
2. Divergence Confirmation Between EMAs and SMAs
Divergence between the EMAs and SMAs can offer additional confirmation. If the EMAs are pointing in one direction and the SMAs are still in the opposite direction, it is a sign that the movement could be stronger and continue in the same direction.
Positive divergence: If the EMAs are making new highs while the SMAs are still below, it could be a sign that the market is in a strong trend.
Negative divergence: If the EMAs are making new lows and the SMAs are still above, you might consider that the market is in a downtrend or correction.
3. Using EMAs as Dynamic Support and Resistance
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance in strong trends. If the price approaches a faster EMA from above and doesn’t break it, it could be a good entry point for a long position (buy). If the price approaches a slower EMA from below and doesn't break it, it could be a good point to sell (short).
Buy: If the price is above all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA (e.g., EMA(9)), it could be a good buy point if the price bounces upward.
Sell: If the price is below all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA, it could be a good sell point if the price bounces downward.
4. Combining SMAs and EMAs to Filter Signals
SMAs can serve as a trend filter to avoid trading in sideways markets. For example:
Bullish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs (such as SMA(100) or SMA(200)) are below the price, and the shorter EMAs are aligned upward, you can look for buy signals.
Bearish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs are above the price and the shorter EMAs are aligned downward, you can look for sell signals.
5. Consolidation Zone Between EMAs and SMAs
When the price moves between EMAs and SMAs without a clear trend (consolidation zone), you can expect a breakout. In this case, you can use the EMAs and SMAs to identify the direction of the breakout:
If the price is in a narrow range between the EMAs and SMAs and then breaks above the fastest EMA, it’s a sign that an upward trend may begin.
If the price breaks below the fastest EMA, it could indicate a potential downward trend.
6. "Golden Cross" and "Death Cross" Strategy
These are classic strategies based on crossovers between moving averages of different periods.
Golden Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA (e.g., EMA(50)) crosses above a slower SMA (e.g., SMA(200)), which suggests a potential bullish trend.
Death Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, which suggests a potential bearish trend.
Additional Recommendations:
Combining with other indicators: You can combine EMA and SMA signals with other indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) for confirmation and to avoid false signals.
Risk management: Always use stop-loss and take-profit orders to protect your capital. Moving averages are trend-following indicators but don’t guarantee that the price will move in the same direction.
Timeframe analysis: It’s recommended to use different timeframes to confirm the trend (e.g., use EMAs on hourly charts along with SMAs on daily charts).
VWAP
1. VWAP + EMAs for Trend Confirmation
VWAP can act as a trend filter, confirming the direction provided by the EMAs.
Buy Signal: If the price is above the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in an uptrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are above longer-term EMAs), this indicates that the trend is bullish and you can look for buy opportunities.
Sell Signal: If the price is below the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in a downtrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are below longer-term EMAs), this suggests a bearish trend and you can look for sell opportunities.
In this case, VWAP is used to confirm the overall trend. For example:
Bullish: Price above VWAP, EMAs aligned to the upside (e.g., EMA(9) > EMA(50) > EMA(200)), buy.
Bearish: Price below VWAP, EMAs aligned to the downside (e.g., EMA(9) < EMA(50) < EMA(200)), sell.
2. VWAP as Dynamic Support and Resistance
VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level during the day. Combining this with EMAs and SMAs helps you refine your entry and exit points.
Support: If the price is above VWAP and starts pulling back to VWAP, it could act as support. If the price bounces off the VWAP and aligns with bullish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing above EMA(50)), you can consider entering a buy position.
Resistance: If the price is below VWAP and approaches VWAP from below, it can act as resistance. If the price fails to break through VWAP and aligns with bearish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing below EMA(50)), it could be a good signal for a sell.
Power Of 3 ICT 01 [TradingFinder] AMD ICT & SMC Accumulations🔵 Introduction
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) strategy, developed by Michael J. Huddleston, known as the Inner Circle Trader, is a structured approach to analyzing daily market activity. This strategy divides the trading day into three distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Each phase represents a unique market behavior influenced by institutional traders, offering a clear framework for retail traders to align their strategies with market movements.
Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST) takes place during low-volatility hours, as institutional traders accumulate orders. Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST) involves false breakouts and liquidity traps designed to mislead retail traders. Finally, Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST) represents the active phase where significant market movements occur as institutions distribute their positions in line with the broader trend.
This indicator is built upon the Power of 3 principles to provide traders with a practical and visual tool for identifying these key phases. By using clear color coding and precise time zones, the indicator highlights critical price levels, such as highs and lows, helping traders to better understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Incorporating the ICT AMD setup into daily analysis enables traders to anticipate market behavior, spot high-probability trade setups, and gain deeper insights into institutional trading strategies. With its focus on time-based price action, this indicator simplifies complex market structures, offering an effective tool for traders of all levels.
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) indicator is designed to help traders analyze daily market movements by visually identifying the three key phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Here's how traders can effectively use the indicator :
🟣 Accumulation Phase (19:00 - 01:00 EST)
Purpose : Identify the range-bound activity where institutional players accumulate orders.
Trading Insight : Avoid placing trades during this phase, as price movements are typically limited. Instead, use this time to prepare for the potential direction of the market in the next phases.
🟣 Manipulation Phase (01:00 - 07:00 EST)
Purpose : Spot false breakouts and liquidity traps that mislead retail traders.
Trading Insight : Observe the market for price spikes beyond key support or resistance levels. These moves often reverse quickly, offering high-probability entry points in the opposite direction of the initial breakout.
🟣 Distribution Phase (07:00 - 13:00 EST)
Purpose : Detect the main price movement of the day, driven by institutional distribution.
Trading Insight : Enter trades in the direction of the trend established during this phase. Look for confirmations such as breakouts or strong directional moves that align with broader market sentiment

Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry ZonesTitle: Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) – Spot Tight Entry Zones
Introduction
The Relative Measured Volatility (RMV) indicator is designed to highlight tight price consolidation zones , making it an ideal tool for traders seeking optimal entry points before potential breakouts. By focusing on tightness rather than general volatility, RMV offers traders a practical way to detect consolidation phases that often precede significant market moves.
How RMV Works
The RMV calculates short-term tightness by averaging three ATR (Average True Range) values over different lookback periods and then normalizing them within a specified lookback window. The result is a percentage-based scale from 0 to 100, indicating how tight the current price range is compared to recent history.
Here’s the breakdown:
Three ATR values are computed using user-defined short lookback periods to represent short-term price movements. An average of the ATRs provides a smoothed measure of current tightness. The RMV normalizes this average against the highest and lowest values over the defined lookback period, scaling it from 0 to 100.
This approach helps traders identify consolidation zones that are more likely to lead to breakouts.
Key Features of RMV
Multi-Period ATR Calculation : Uses three ATR values to effectively capture market tightness over the short term. Normalization : Converts the tightness measure to a 0-100 scale for easy interpretation. Dynamic Histogram and Background Colors : The RMV indicator uses a color-coded system for clarity.
How to Use the RMV Indicator
Identify Tight Consolidation Zones:
a - RMV values between 0-10 indicate very tight price ranges, making this the most optimal zone for potential entries before breakouts.
b - RMV values between 11-20 suggest moderate tightness, still favorable for entries.
Monitor Potential Breakout Areas:
As RMV moves from 21-30 , tightness reduces, signaling expanding volatility that may require wider stops or more flexible entry strategies.
Adjust Trading Strategies:
Use RMV values to identify tight zones for entering trades, especially in trending markets or at key support/resistance levels.
Customize the Indicator:
a - Adjust the short-term ATR lookback periods to control sensitivity.
b - Modify the lookback period to match your trading horizon, whether short-term or long-term.

Composite Z-Score with Linear Regression Bands [UAlgo]The Composite Z-Score with Linear Regression Bands is a technical indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive analysis of price momentum, volatility, and volume. By combining multiple moving averages with slope analysis, volume/volatility compression-expansion metrics, and Z-Score calculations, this indicator aims to highlight potential breakout and breakdown points with high accuracy. The inclusion of linear regression bands further enhances the analysis by providing dynamic support and resistance levels, which adapt to market conditions. This makes the indicator particularly useful in identifying overbought/oversold conditions, volume squeezes, and the overall direction of the trend.
🔶 Key Features
Multi-Length Slope Calculation: The indicator uses multiple Hull Moving Averages (HMA) across various lengths to calculate slope angles, which are then converted into Z-Scores. This helps in capturing both short-term and long-term price momentum.
Volume/Volatility Composite Analysis: By calculating a composite value derived from both volume and volatility, the indicator identifies periods of compression (squeezes) and expansion, which are crucial for detecting potential breakout opportunities.
Linear Regression Bands: The inclusion of dynamic linear regression bands provides traders with adaptive support and resistance levels. These bands are enhanced by the composite value, which adjusts the band width based on market conditions, offering a clearer view of possible price reversals.
Overbought/Oversold Detection: The indicator highlights overbought and oversold conditions by comparing Z-Scores against the upper and lower bounds of the regression bands, which can signal potential reversal points.
Customizable Inputs: Users can customize key parameters such as the lengths of the moving averages, the regression band period, and the number of deviations used for the bands, allowing for flexibility in adapting the indicator to different market environments.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Z-Score Plots: The individual Z-Score plots represent the normalized slope of the Hull Moving Averages over different periods. Positive values indicate upward momentum, while negative values suggest downward momentum. The combined Z-Sum provides a broader view of the overall market momentum.
Composite Value: The composite value is a ratio of volume to volatility, which highlights periods of market compression and expansion. When the composite value rises, it suggests increasing market activity, often preceding a breakout.
Why are we calculating values for multiple lengths?
The Composite Z-Score with Linear Regression Bands indicator employs a multi-timeframe analysis by calculating Z-scores for various moving average lengths. This approach provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics and helps to identify trends and potential reversals across different timeframes. By considering multiple lengths, we can:
Capture a broader range of market behaviors: Different moving average lengths capture different aspects of price movement. Shorter lengths are more sensitive to recent price changes, while longer lengths provide a smoother representation of the underlying trend.
Reduce the impact of noise: By combining Z-scores from multiple lengths, we can help to filter out some of the noise that can be present in shorter-term data and obtain a more robust signal.
Enhance the reliability of signals: When Z-scores from multiple lengths align, it can increase the confidence in the identified trend or potential reversal. This can help to reduce the likelihood of false signals.
In essence, calculating values for multiple lengths allows the indicator to provide a more nuanced and reliable assessment of market conditions, making it a valuable tool for traders and analysts.
Linear Regression Bands: The central line represents the linear regression of the Z-Sum, while the upper and lower bands represent the dynamic resistance and support levels, respectively. The deviation from the regression line indicates the strength of the current trend. When price moves beyond these bands, it may signal an overbought (above upper band) or oversold (below lower band) condition.
Volume/Volatility Squeeze: When the price moves between the regression bands and the volume/volatility-adjusted bands, the market is in a squeeze. Breakouts from this squeeze can lead to significant price moves, which are indicated by the filling of areas between the Z-Score plots and the bands.
Color Interpretation: The indicator uses color changes to make it easier to interpret the data. Teal colors generally indicate upward momentum or strong conditions, while red suggests downward momentum or weakening conditions. The intensity of the color reflects the strength of the signal.
Overbought/Oversold Signals: The indicator marks potential overbought and oversold conditions when Z-Scores cross above or below the upper and lower regression bands, respectively. These signals are crucial for identifying potential reversal points in the market.

Super IndicatorOverview of the Combined Indicator
This combined indicator leverages three major technical analysis tools:
Bollinger Bands
Linear Regression Channels
Scalping Strategy Indicators (RSI, MACD, SMA)
Each of these tools provides unique insights into market conditions, and their integration offers a comprehensive view of price movements, trends, and potential trading signals.
1. Bollinger Bands
Purpose:
Bollinger Bands are used to measure market volatility and identify overbought or oversold conditions.
Components:
Basis (Middle Band): Typically a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Upper Band: Basis + (2 * Standard Deviation).
Lower Band: Basis - (2 * Standard Deviation).
Why They Complement:
Bollinger Bands expand and contract based on market volatility. When the bands are narrow, it indicates low volatility and potential for a significant move. Wide bands indicate high volatility. This helps traders gauge the strength of market moves and potential reversals.
2. Linear Regression Channels
Purpose:
Linear Regression Channels identify the overall trend direction and measure deviation from the mean price over a specific period.
Components:
Middle Line (Linear Regression Line): The line of best fit through the price data over a specified period.
Upper and Lower Lines: Channels created by adding/subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation or another deviation measure from the regression line.
Why They Complement:
Linear Regression Channels provide a clear visual representation of the trend direction and the range within which prices typically fluctuate. This can help traders identify trend continuations and reversals, making it easier to spot entry and exit points.
3. Scalping Strategy Indicators
Purpose:
The RSI, MACD, and SMA are used to generate short-term buy and sell signals, which are essential for scalping strategies aimed at capturing quick profits from small price movements.
Components:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures the speed and change of price movements, typically over 14 periods. It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Consists of the MACD line, Signal line, and histogram. It helps identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): The average price over a specified period, used to smooth out price data and identify trends.
Why They Complement:
These indicators provide short-term signals that can confirm or refute the signals given by Bollinger Bands and Linear Regression Channels. For example, a buy signal might be more reliable if the price is near the lower Bollinger Band and the MACD crosses above its signal line.
How They Work Together
Scenario 1: Confirming Trend Continuations
Bollinger Bands: Price staying near the upper band suggests a strong uptrend.
Linear Regression Channels: Price staying above the middle line confirms the uptrend.
5-Minute Scalping Strategy: RSI not in overbought territory, and MACD showing bullish momentum confirms continuation.
Scenario 2: Identifying Reversals
Bollinger Bands: Price touching or moving outside the lower band suggests oversold conditions.
Linear Regression Channels: Price at the lower channel line indicates potential support.
5-Minute Scalping Strategy: RSI in oversold territory, and MACD showing a bullish crossover indicates a reversal.
Scenario 3: Volatility Breakouts
Bollinger Bands: Bands contracting indicates low volatility and potential breakout.
Linear Regression Channels: Price moving away from the middle line signals potential breakout direction.
Scalping Strategy: MACD and RSI confirming the breakout direction for entry.
Input Parameters:
Define settings for Bollinger Bands, Linear Regression Channels, and the scalping strategy.
Allow users to customize lengths, multipliers, and colors.
Bollinger Bands Calculation:
Calculate the basis (SMA) and standard deviation.
Derive the upper and lower bands from the basis and standard deviation.
Linear Regression Channel Calculation:
Compute the slope, average, and intercept of the linear regression line.
Calculate deviations to plot upper and lower channel lines.
5-Minute Scalping Strategy:
Calculate RSI, MACD, and SMA for short-term trend analysis.
Define buy and sell conditions based on these indicators.
Plotting and Alerts:
Plot Bollinger Bands and Linear Regression Channels on the chart.
Plot buy and sell signals with shapes.
Set alerts for key conditions like exiting the regression channel bounds and trend switches.
Conclusion
By combining Bollinger Bands, Linear Regression Channels, and a 5-minute scalping strategy, this indicator offers a robust tool for traders. Bollinger Bands provide volatility insights, Linear Regression Channels highlight trend direction and potential reversals, and the scalping strategy offers precise entry and exit points. Together, these tools can enhance a trader's ability to make informed decisions in various market conditions.
Liquidity Grab Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Liquidity Grab Zones Indicator! This indicator finds liquidity grabs in the current ticker and renders buyside & sellside liquidity grab zones. The retests and breakout of the zones are labeled, and you can set up alerts to get notified. For more information, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Liquidity Grab Zones Indicator :
Renders Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Grab Zones
Retests & Breaks
Inverse Zones After Broken Feature
Alerts For All Features
Customizable Algorithm
Customizable Styles
🚩UNIQUENESS
Liquidity grabs can be useful when determining candles that have executed a lot of market orders, so you can plann your trades accordingly. This indicator lets you customize the pivot length and the wick-body ratio for liquidity grabs, provide retest & breakout labels, with customized styling and alerts.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a zone is plotted.
These zones usually indicate areas of high market interest where price action may reverse or accelerate. Identifying these zones can provide traders with critical levels for entering or exiting trades. A breakout of these zones generally mean strong movements are inbound, while failing breakouts make these zones act like support / resistance zones.
The indicator also reverses the type of the zone after an invalidation (can be turned off from the settings). This feature helps traders identify potential reversals more accurately.
The zone width is set to the area from the wick to the body of the candlestick, which can be seen here :
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot.
Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Liquidity Grab Zone Invalidation.
Use these customizable settings to fine-tune the indicator according to your trading strategy and preferences.
Dynamic Price Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Dynamic Price Oscillator (DPO) by Zeiierman is designed to gauge the momentum and volatility of asset prices in trading markets. By integrating elements of traditional oscillators with volatility adjustments and Bollinger Bands, the DPO offers a unique approach to understanding market dynamics. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying overbought and oversold conditions, capturing price trends, and detecting potential reversal points.
█ How It Works
The DPO operates by calculating the difference between the current closing price and a moving average of the closing price, adjusted for volatility using the True Range method. This difference is then smoothed over a user-defined period to create the oscillator. Additionally, Bollinger Bands are applied to the oscillator itself, providing visual cues for volatility and potential breakout signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Confirmation
The DPO can serve as a confirmation tool for existing trends. Traders might look for the oscillator to maintain above or below its mean line to confirm bullish or bearish trends, respectively. A consistent direction in the oscillator's movement alongside price trend can provide additional confidence in the strength and sustainability of the trend.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Conditions
With the application of Bollinger Bands directly on the oscillator, the DPO can highlight overbought or oversold conditions in a unique manner. When the oscillator moves outside the Bollinger Bands, it signifies an extreme condition.
⚪ Volatility Breakouts
The width of the Bollinger Bands on the oscillator reflects market volatility. Sudden expansions in the bands can indicate a breakout from a consolidation phase, which traders can use to enter trades in the direction of the breakout. Conversely, a contraction suggests a quieter market, which might be a signal for traders to wait or to look for range-bound strategies.
⚪ Momentum Trading
Momentum traders can use the DPO to spot moments when the market momentum is picking up. A sharp move of the oscillator towards either direction, especially when crossing the Bollinger Bands, can indicate the start of a strong price movement.
⚪ Mean Reversion
The DPO is also useful for mean reversion strategies, especially considering its volatility adjustment feature. When the oscillator touches or breaches the Bollinger Bands, it indicates a deviation from the normal price range. Traders might look for opportunities to enter trades anticipating a reversion to the mean.
⚪ Divergence Trading
Divergences between the oscillator and price action can be a powerful signal for reversals. For instance, if the price makes a new high but the oscillator fails to make a corresponding high, it may indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal. Traders can use these divergence signals to initiate counter-trend moves.
█ Settings
Length: Determines the lookback period for the oscillator and Bollinger Bands calculation. Increasing this value smooths the oscillator and widens the Bollinger Bands, leading to fewer, more significant signals. Decreasing this value makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price changes, offering more frequent signals but with increased noise.
Smoothing Factor: Adjusts the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillator's calculation. A higher smoothing factor reduces noise, offering clearer trend identification at the cost of signal timeliness. Conversely, a lower smoothing factor increases the oscillator's responsiveness to price movements, which may be useful for short-term trading but at the risk of false signals.

Liquidity Trendline With Signals [BigBeluga]The Liquidity Trendline is an indicator designed to identify potential breakouts by utilizing pivot points. These pivotal moments can trigger significant market reactions, either by breaking out or by serving as breakout and retest signals.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator contains the following features:
Period of the calculation
Padding (spacing between the 2 lines)
Signal for breakouts
🔶 USAGE
As shown in the example, breakouts can be powerful points to see reversions in the market and can lead to a lot of volatility in the market.
When a trendline is broken, a signal will be plotted; the user can disable/enable those signals.
A trendline is formed when 2 consecutive pivot points are found, each of them lower or higher than the previous one. this is the anchor point for our trend line that we will use to spot rejection or breakouts
The delay in the creation of those trend lines will be the period input used to find the pivot point on the chart.
Another good example is using these trendlines as simple retests.
Prices bouncing on top of them will suggest a possible continuation of the current trend.
We can filter out stronger breakouts by looking at how many times the price has rejected the trendline, more rejections will result in more liquidity once the price breaks it.
Signals are plotted on the chart for every breakout that happens.
Another good utility is simply using them as retest once the price breaks those levels and holding above/below them, indicating a possible support or resistance area used for confluence
Here is another good example of how we can correctly spot price deviating from our trendline and spotting powerful continuation in price.
As said before we can filter out bad and good breakouts simply by looking at how many times rejected from those levels.
More rejection will result in a stronger reaction
🔶 CONCLUSION
This script is as simple as that and can be used in a few ways to spot reversals, price continuation, or even sentiment in price (bullish or bearish).
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) [LuxAlgo]This all-in-one indicator displays real-time market structure (internal & swing BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, premium & discount zones, equal highs & lows, and much more...allowing traders to automatically mark up their charts with widely used price action methodologies. Following the release of our Fair Value Gap script, we received numerous requests from our community to release more features in the same category.
"Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action.
The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions.
Features
This indicator includes many features relevant to SMC, these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Break of Structure (BOS)
Change of Character (CHoCH)
Order Blocks (bullish & bearish)
Equal Highs & Lows
Fair Value Gap Detection
Previous Highs & Lows
Premium & Discount Zones as a range
Options to style the indicator to more easily display these concepts
Settings
Mode: Allows the user to select Historical (default) or Present, which displays only recent data on the chart.
Style: Allows the user to select different styling for the entire indicator between Colored (default) and Monochrome.
Color Candles: Plots candles based on the internal & swing structures from within the indicator on the chart.
Internal Structure: Displays the internal structure labels & dashed lines to represent them. (BOS & CHoCH).
Confluence Filter: Filter non-significant internal structure breakouts.
Swing Structure: Displays the swing structure labels & solid lines on the chart (larger BOS & CHoCH labels).
Swing Points: Displays swing points labels on chart such as HH, HL, LH, LL.
Internal Order Blocks: Enables Internal Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Internal Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Swing Order Blocks: Enables Swing Order Blocks & allows the user to select how many most recent Swing Order Blocks appear on the chart.
Equal Highs & Lows: Displays EQH/EQL labels on chart for detecting equal highs & lows.
Bars Confirmation: Allows the user to select how many bars are needed to confirm an EQH/EQL symbol on chart.
Fair Value Gaps: Displays boxes to highlight imbalance areas on the chart.
Auto Threshold: Filter out non-significant fair value gaps.
Timeframe: Allows the user to select the timeframe for the Fair Value Gap detection.
Extend FVG: Allows the user to choose how many bars to extend the Fair Value Gap boxes on the chart.
Highs & Lows MTF: Allows the user to display previous highs & lows from daily, weekly, & monthly timeframes as significant levels.
Premium/Discount Zones: Allows the user to display Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones on the chart
Usage
Users can see automatic CHoCH and BOS labels to highlight breakouts of market structure, which allows to determine the market trend. In the chart below we can see the internal structure which displays more frequent labels within larger structures. We can also see equal highs & lows (EQH/EQL) labels plotted alongside the internal structure to frequently give indications of potential reversals.
In the chart below we can see the swing market structure labels. These are also labeled as BOS and CHoCH but with a solid line & larger text to show larger market structure breakouts & trend reversals. Users can be mindful of these larger structure labels while trading internal structures as displayed in the previous chart.
Order blocks highlight areas where institutional market participants open positions, one can use order blocks to determine confirmation entries or potential targets as we can expect there is a large amount of liquidity at these order blocks. In the chart below we can see 2 potential trade setups with confirmation entries. The path outlined in red would be a potential short entry targeting the blue order block below, and the path outlined in green would be a potential long entry, targeting the red order blocks above.
As we can see in the chart below, the bullish confirmation entry played out in this scenario with the green path outlined in hindsight. As price breaks though the order blocks above, the indicator will consider them mitigated causing them to disappear, and as per the logic of these order blocks they will always display 5 (by default) on the chart so we can now see more actionable levels.
The Smart Money Concepts indicator has many other features and here we can see how they can also help a user find potential levels for price action trading. In the screenshot below we can see a trade setup using the Previous Monthly High, Strong High, and a Swing Order Block as a stop loss. Accompanied by the Premium from the Discount/Premium zones feature being used as a potential entry. A potential take profit level for this trade setup that a user could easily identify would be the 50% mark labeled with the Fair Value Gap & the Equilibrium all displayed automatically by the indicator.
Conclusion
This indicator highlights all relevant components of Smart Money Concepts which can be a very useful interpretation of market structure, liquidity, & more simply put, price action. The term was coined & popularized primarily within the forex community & by ICT while making its way to become a part of many traders' analysis. These concepts, with or without this indicator do not guarantee a trader to be trading within the presence of institutional or "bank-level" liquidity, there is no supporting data regarding the validity of these teachings.
MA total distance on chartNOTE:
The name I used for this indicator was created by me and I’m not sure if it has been used or created by any other trader/creator in the past or not!
Motivation to create:
One of the most important uses of “moving averages” is indicating the trend! There are different ways you can distinguish trend by using moving averages and one of the most popular type of it is comparing closing price to a MA. In this case if close is higher than the MA, trend is bullish and if close is lower than MA, it’s bearish. This method is really useful and I see great results in my long-term back-tests, especially SMA-100 in 1H chart filter so many fake signals in many different indicator-based strategies (Personal experience). There are so many problems with using indicators that sometimes have difficult solutions but one of them is fake breakout!
Looking at the top picture, you’ll get a breakout has happened but trend did not change!
A super bearish trend is obviously visible in the chart and we know a small break out might be a fake one, but what if we have an indicator make conditions of a trend change a little harder?
Introduction:
I was careful about how I used moving averages and I got that I will take not only the last candle close price into consideration, so in these kind of false breakouts I will not fall into trap of them, On the contrary, I find a good opportunity to enter the market opposite of the MA break! (In this case short trade). I calculate the total distance of last 40 candles and divide them to 40, to get the average distance, to each a mathematical score for power of our trend comparing to the MA!
Number are just default you can change them.
In the picture below you can see how well it filtered the false breakout.
As it is obvious, Timeframe, MA length, MA source and MA type are editable.
Since I do not tested this indicator enough (for me enough means more than 5000 trades and 10 years) I can’t suggest any settings as the best one.
The distance length, which means number of candles that their distance to MA is considered in our calculations, the distance source and also smoothing of the MATD is editable too.
And without editing it will look like something like this!
Turtle Trade Channels Indicator TUTCILegendary trade system which proved that great traders can be made, not born.
Turtle Trade Experiment made 80% annual return for 4 years and made 150 million $
Turtle Trade trend following system is a complete opposite to the "buy low and sell high" approach.
This trend following system was taught to a group of average and normal individuals, and almost everyone turned into a profitable trader.
They used the basis logic of well known DONCHIAN CHANNELS which developed by Richard Donchian.
The main rule is "Trade an 20-day breakout and take profits when an 10-day high or low is breached ". Examples:
Buy a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day low.
Go short a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day high.
In this indicator,
The red line is the trading line which indicates the trend directio n:
Price bars over the trend line indicates uptrend
Price bars under the trend line means downtrend
The dotted blue line is the exit line.
Original system is:
Go long when the price High is equal to or above previous 20 day Highest price.
Go short when the price Low is equal to or below previous 20 day Lowest price.
Exit long positions when the price touches the exit line
Exit short positions when the price touches the exit line
Recommended initial stop-loss is ATR * 2 from the opening price.
Default system parameters were 20,10 and 55,20.
Original Turtle Rules:
To trade exactly like the turtles did, you need to set up two indicators representing the main and the failsafe system.
Set up the main indicator with EntryPeriod = 20 and ExitPeriod = 10 (A.k.a S1)
Set up the failsafe indicator with EntryPeriod = 55 and ExitPeriod = 20 using a different color. (A.k.a S2)
The entry strategy using S1 is as follows
Buy 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
Sell 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
If last signaled trade by S1 was a win, you shouldn't trade -Irregardless of the direction or if you traded last signal it or not-
The entry strategy using S2 is as follows:
Buy 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is rallying without you
Sell 55-day breakouts only if you ignored last S1 signal and the market is pluging without you
You can Highlight the chart with provided trade signals:
Green background color when Long
Red background color when Short
No background color when flat
WARNING: TURTLE TRADE STOP or ADDING more UNITS RULES ARE NOT INCLUDED.

CBG Key Numbers v6Here is my opening range, key numbers indicator. It takes the Opening Range (5 minutes by default) and then plots the opening range and up to 7 extensions of that range above and below.
It's amazing how the OR is stamped up on the rest of the day's price movements.
2 strategies (at least) are to play the OR range breakout and to fade when price hits an extreme range.
You have total control over how you set up the various lines and colors.
If you start overlaying the trading day with the OR and it's extensions, you will see amazing patterns become clear. For example, the pump and reverse. This is where price pumps right out of the opening and then reverses later in the morning.
I have the opening price set to big circles as this is one of the most important reference points during the day.
Important: For some reason, the 9:30 am time Opening acts differently for equities and futures . For equities, you can set the time values to 0930. But for futures , to capture the Open at 9:30, you have to set the time values to start at 0830. I haven't been able to find a better solution but setting the times manually works. Make sure to set all the time values on the Options screen.
There is one more setting of interest. It is called IB Target Amount. This is a number above and below the opening range that I have observed price to hit whenever there's a breakout. This will allow you to predict a price target on breakouts. For SPY , I have found that price usually breaks out to at least 50 cents. On ES futures , it's 6 dollars. This can help you lock in 10% and 20% when trading options and is a great tool. That's why I have it so prominent in red. You will also see price return to this level during the day and act as support or resistance.
Please disregard the red and green shaded rectangles. They are my own support and resistance zones and TV wouldn't let me hide them from the picture. :-)
I mostly use this on a 5 minute chart but any timeframe will work.
Turtle Trade Channels by KıvanÇ fr3762his trend following system was designed by Dennis Gartman and Bill Eckhart, and relies on breakouts of historical highs and lows to take and close trades: it is the complete opposite to the "buy low and sell high" approach. This trend following system was taught to a group of average and normal individuals, and almost everyone turned into a profitable trader.
The main rule is "Trade an N-day breakout and take profits when an M-day high or low is breached (N must me above M)". Examples:
Buy a 10-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 5-day low.
Go short a 20-day breakout and close the trade when price action reaches a 10-day high.
In this indicator, the red line is the trading line, and the dotted blue line is the exit line. Original system is:
Go long when the trading line crosses below close price
Go short when the trading line rosses above close price
Exit long positions when the price touches the exit line
Exit short positions when the price touches the exit line
Recommended initial stop-loss is ATR * 2 from the opening price. Default system parameters were 20,10 and 55,20.
Original Turtle Rules:
To trade exactly like the turtles did, you need to set up two indicators representing the main and the failsafe system.
Set up the main indicator with TradePeriod = 20 and StopPeriod = 10 (A.k.a S1)
Set up the failsafe indicator with TradePeriod = 55 and StopPeriod = 20 using a different color. (A.k.a S2)
The entry strategy using S1 is as follows
Buy 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.
Sell 20-day breakouts using S1 only if last signaled trade was a loss.

Globex Trap w/ percentage [SLICKRICK]Globex Trap w/ Percentage
Overview
The Globex Trap w/ Percentage indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing price action during the Globex (overnight) session and regular trading hours. By combining Globex session ranges with Supply & Demand zones, this indicator highlights potential "trap" areas where significant price reactions may occur. Additionally, it calculates the Globex session range as a percentage of the daily Average True Range (ATR), providing valuable context for assessing market volatility.
This indicator is ideal for traders in futures markets or other instruments traded during Globex sessions, offering a visual and analytical edge for spotting key price levels and potential reversals or breakouts.
Key Features
Globex Session Tracking:
Visualizes the high and low of the Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST) with customizable time settings.
Displays a semi-transparent box to mark the Globex range, with labels for "Globex High" and "Globex Low."
Calculates the Globex range as a percentage of the daily ATR, displayed as a label for quick reference.
Supply & Demand Zones:
Identifies Supply & Demand zones during regular trading hours (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST) with customizable time settings.
Draws semi-transparent boxes to highlight these zones, aiding in the identification of key support and resistance areas.
Trap Area Identification:
Highlights potential trap zones where Globex ranges and Supply & Demand zones overlap, indicating areas where price may reverse or consolidate due to trapped traders.
Customizable Settings:
Adjust Globex and Supply & Demand session times to suit your trading preferences.
Toggle visibility of Globex and Supply & Demand zones independently.
Customize box colors for better chart readability.
Set the lookback period (default: 10 days) to control how many historical zones are displayed.
Configure the ATR length (default: 14) for the percentage calculation.
PST Timezone Default:
All times are based on Pacific Standard Time (PST) by default, ensuring accurate session tracking for users in this timezone or those aligning with U.S. West Coast market hours.
Recommended Usage
Timeframes: Best used on 1-hour charts or lower (e.g., 15-minute, 5-minute) for precise entry and exit points.
Markets: Optimized for futures (e.g., ES, NQ, CL) and other instruments traded during Globex sessions.
Historical Data: Ensure at least 10 days of historical data for optimal visualization of zones.
Strategy Integration: Use the indicator to identify potential reversals or breakouts at Globex highs/lows or Supply & Demand zones. The ATR percentage provides context for whether the Globex range is significant relative to typical daily volatility.
How It Works
Globex Session:
Tracks the high and low prices during the user-defined Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST).
When the session ends, a box is drawn from the start to the end of the session, capturing the high and low prices.
Labels are placed at the midpoint of the session, showing "Globex High," "Globex Low," and the range as a percentage of the daily ATR (e.g., "75.23% of Daily ATR").
Supply & Demand Zones:
Tracks the high and low prices during the user-defined regular trading hours (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST).
Draws a box to mark these zones, which often act as key support or resistance levels.
ATR Percentage:
Calculates the Globex range (high minus low) and divides it by the daily ATR to express it as a percentage.
This metric helps traders gauge whether the overnight price movement is significant compared to the instrument’s typical volatility.
Time Handling:
Uses PST (UTC-8) for all time calculations, ensuring accurate session timing for users aligning with this timezone.
Properly handles overnight sessions that cross midnight, ensuring seamless tracking.
