US 30 Daily Breakout Strategy The US 30 Daily Breakout Strategy (Single Trade Per Breakout/Breakdown) is a trading approach for the US 30 (Dow Jones Industrial Average) that aims to capture breakout or breakdown moves based on the previous day’s high and low levels. The strategy includes mechanisms to take only one trade per breakout (or breakdown) each day and ensures that each trade is executed only when no other trade is open.
Entry Conditions:
Long Trade (Breakout): The strategy initiates a long position if the current candle closes above the previous day's high, indicating an upward breakout. Only one breakout trade can occur per day, regardless of whether the price remains above the previous high.
Short Trade (Breakdown): The strategy initiates a short position if the current candle closes below the previous day's low, indicating a downward breakdown. Similarly, only one breakdown trade can occur per day.
Risk Management:
Take Profit and Stop Loss: Each trade has a take profit and stop loss of 50 points, aiming to cap profit and limit loss effectively for each position.
Daily Reset Mechanism:
At the start of each new day (based on New York time), the strategy resets its flags, allowing it to look for new breakout or breakdown trades. This reset ensures that only one trade can be taken per breakout or breakdown level each day.
Execution Logic
Flags for Trade Limitation: Flags (breakout_traded and breakdown_traded) are used to ensure only one breakout or breakdown trade is taken per day. These flags reset daily.
Dynamic Plotting: The previous day’s high and low are plotted on the chart, providing a visual reference for potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Overall Objective
This strategy is designed to capture single-directional daily moves by identifying significant breakouts or breakdowns beyond the previous day’s range. The fixed profit and loss limits ensure the trades are managed with controlled risk, while the daily reset feature prevents overtrading and limits each trade opportunity to one breakout and one breakdown attempt per day.

HT: Intraday LevelsIndicator draws several most important intraday levels: last day RTH high/low, ETH high/low, Half Back, Day Close and current day RTH Day Open. These levels often act as support/resistance for intraday price movements. Also, they can help to assess day character and control of power.
Indicator can be used for ETH + RTH sessions.
Important notes:
• User must specify RTH session time, appropriate for his time zone and exchange
• Half-back is calculated as a middle line between RTH High and Low.
• Day Close is always equal to close of the last bar of the previous day
• RTH Day Open will be redrawn for the current day as soon as it is known (after RTH session opens and at least one bar gets confirmed).
Known issues:
• Day open will not be shown if there is no bar, clearly corresponding to RTH open time (e.g. if 4h timeframe is selected)
• For some ETH sessions it is not possible to determine session’s last bar (this is pine script limitation) until next day trading starts. This means that daily levels will be also update with only then.
Parameters:
Date – user can select date, for which levels will be plotted. Works only if “Use” check box is on. Otherwise, levels will be plotted for the last day. (“time” value doesn’t matter; unfortunately, there is no way to hide the input box)
RTH Open/Close time – it is important to specify time, appropriate for your time zone.
Time zone – your chart time zone (as UTC offset)
Visuals – controls visibility and colors
Script is published as an open source. It uses two libraries: Levels Lib and Functions Lib. First one demonstrates how to work with pine-script object model and arrays. You can also reuse it in your custom scripts where there is need to construct any support/resistance levels. The second library contains some useful functions for working with time and dates.

This indicator should not be used as a standalone tool to make trading decisions but only in conjunction with other technical analysis methods.
MoonFlag BTC Daily Swing PredictorThis script mainly works on BTC on the daily timeframe. Other coins also show similar usefulness with this script however, BTC on the daily timeframe is the main design for this script.
(Please note this is not trading advice this is just comments about how this indicator works.)
This script is predictive. It colors the background yellow when the script calculates a large BTC swing is potentially about to happen. It does not predict in which direction the swing will occur but it leads the price action so can be useful for leveraged trades. When the background gets colored with vertical yellow lines - this shows that a largish price swing is probably going to occur.
The scripts also shades bands around the price action that are used to estimate an acceptable volatility at any given time. If the bands are wide that means price action is volatile and large swings are not easily predicted. Over time, with reducing volatility, these price action bands narrow and then at a set point or percentage (%) which can be set in the script settings, the background gets colored yellow. This indicates present price action is not volatile and a large price swing is potentially going to happen in the near future. When price action breaks through the narrowing bands, the background is no longer presented because this is seen as an increase in volatility and a considerable portion of the time, a large sudden drop in price action or momentous gain in price is realized.
This indicator leads price action. It predicts that a swing is possibly going to happen in the near future. As the indicator works on the BTC daily, this means on a day-to-day basis if the bands continually narrow - a breakout is more likely to happen. In order to see how well this indicator works, have a look at the results on the screenshot provided. Note the regions where vertical yellow lines are present on the price action - and then look after these to see if a sizeable swing in price has occurred.
To use this indicator - wait until yellow vertical lines are presented on the BTC daily. Then use your experience to determine which way the price action might swing and consider entering a trade or leveraged trade in this direction. Alternatively wait a while to see in which direction the break-out occurs and considering and attempt to trade with this. Sometimes swings can be unexpected and breakout in one direction before then swinging much larger in the other. Its important to remember/consider that this indicator works on the BTC daily timeframe, so any consideration of entering a trade should be expected to cover a duration over many days or weeks, or possibly months. A large swing is only estimated every several plus months.
Most indicators are based on moving averages. A moving average is not predictive in the sense in that it lags price actions. This indicator creates bands that are based on the momentum of the price action. A change in momentum of price action therefore causes the bands to widen. When the bands narrow this means that the momentum of the price action is steady and price action volatility has converged/reduced over time. With BTC this generally means that a large swing in price action is going to occur as momentum in price action then pick-up again in one direction or another. Trying to view this using moving averages is not easy as a moving average lags price action which means that it is difficult to predict any sudden movements in price action ahead of when they might occur. Although, moving averages will converge over time in a similar manner as the bands calculated by this script. This script however, uses the price action momentum in a predictive manner to estimate where the price action might go based on present price momentum. This script therefore reacts to reduced volatility in price action much faster than a set of moving averages over various timescales can achieve.

Extended Session High/Low - Intraday and daily chartsThis script plots the extended session highest high and lowest low levels. It works on any time frame from 1 minute to daily.
Please note that during the extended session, TradingView stops updating the daily chart. This means that once the script is loaded on a daily chart, it will not be updated until the market opens, unless you manually reload the layout (Ctrl+R). For this reason, it is recommended to use a multi-timeframe layout, so when the pre/post market line is near the extended session high/low on the daily chart, you can compare these values with those on an intraday chart of the same ticker.
The extended session high/low are important for day traders because they represent the maximum and minimum limits within which the trades have taken place during the extended trading hours. This can make them levels of support/resistance that can be useful for planning trend following, reversal and range-bound strategies.
By displaying the extended session high/low on the daily chart, traders can also see if there are any significant levels nearby that are related to the daily time frame, such as trendlines, support/resistance levels, or moving averages. This can help the trader evaluate whether there is enough room for a price movement in the direction of his trading strategy.
Multi TF High/Low/Open/Close LineNOTE: I'm not sure why the screengrab isn't showing the lines. They are there, and when I share the chart from this link they are there.... idk
This is a requested spin-off version of my previous HLOC for the Daily/Weekly/Monthly that allows users to choose 3 different timeframe units (Mins, Hours, Days, etc...) from the dropdown menu and then select the lookback period in which to draw the HLOC.
I've had quite a few requests to allow users to see multiple lookbacks for the same timeframe unit, mostly weekly, and I did not wish to change that particular script for that purpose. However, I was able to take the existing script and alter it for user input.
This indicator draws a line on the TF 1, TF 2, and TF 3 bar at the High, Low, Open and Close of user input Timeframe unit and selected lookback period.
The lookback period will go back the number of candles entered. So for example if you choose a 5 Min chart with a lookback of 3, the lines will be drawn on the HLOC 3 closed 5 min candles back. Selecting 0 will show data on the current Real-Time candle.
An example of a request I have gotten was for last week, the previous week and the previous month. The settings for that would be: TF 1 - 1 week Lookback 1, TF 2 - 1 week Lookback 2, TF 3 - 1 month Lookback 1.
Each set of lines has an optional identifying label with its own color set that can be shown with or without price value, and has drop down menus for size and style of each set of labels. The TF unit value is displayed on the label, but not the lookback.
So if you are using the hourly on all 3 TF's with different lookback periods, they will all say "60" on the label.
I recommend using the line and label options to distinguish between the different lookback values.
Each set of lines has inputs for line/text color, line width and style and each line argument can be selected independently.
In the chart example I have displayed only the High and Low on three 1 hour TF's with the lookback of 4, 5 and 6 candles with the labels descending in size. With this data I can see that over the last 6 hours the price of ES is in an descending pattern and I should be on alert for a break.
Since I trade ES in RTH on a much lower timeframe, this data can alert me to a bigger picture potential trend change or continuation. I would personally use this with pivot data for timing and look for entries in areas of high volume that moved price to a new
high or low that have not been retested.
I will be looking to add a user input offset for labels in the future. I have had bad luck with it in the past working for a couple weeks and then throwing an error, but I will look into it again soon.
I also recommend going into Chart Settings/Status Line and turning off indicator arguments OR moving the script to the top of the indicator list to avoid obstructed chart view with this indicators arguments. When script allows, I will update it to hide them.

Previous Day, Week, Month High/Low Line IndicatorMade a line indicator for previous Daily Weekly & Monthly High / Low. You can use all 3 (D,W,M) or just one by editing the settings.
Replay Mode - Check HTF CandleThis indicator is intended to be used while using Replay Mode.
A vertical line will be drawn when you can safely check the 4H, Daily, or Weekly candle without seeing future price.
It is similar to the built-in Session Breaks, but has the benefit of not needing to remove one candle before checking the Daily.
When the line is the color of your 4H settings, it is safe to check the 4H candle.
When the line is the color of your Daily settings, it is safe to check the 4H and Daily candles.
When the line is the color of your Weekly settings, it is safe to check the 4H, Daily and Weekly candles
ATR Daily Levels Band NakitxuAverage True Range
What Is the Average True Range (ATR)?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close.
The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 14 days, of the true ranges.
This script is an especial request of a TradingView user.
Shows 5 levels based on ATR daily, plotted in wherever timeframe you are using:
level 1: prv day ATR + prv day close
level 2: prv day ATR + prv day high
level 3: level 2 - prv day ATR
level 4: prv day close - prv day ATR
level 5: prv day low - prv day
Only show the levels if you are in a timeframe daily or lower than daily.
GBP/JPY Daily time FX Strategy ATR W% BaselineThis is a preety good strategy suited for long term trading.
It has been adapted and optimized in this case for GBP/JPY 1D time frame.
Its made of Kiojun baseline, together with ATR for stop loss and size calculation and Williams % R
For the purpose of this example we simulate that we have a leverage of 100x in order to be able to buy the ammount of lots required for our stop loss to be in same page with the risk % of our capital.
For entry we have for long, ascending R in the last 2 candles and crossover of close with KIOJUN baseline. For short the same but in reverse.
We exit if we reach the TP -100 points in this example, or SL , which is based on ATR of the last x days.
If you have any questions feel free to write me in private !
Monthly Weekly Daily Hourly CLOSESDraws horizontal segments where the last Monthly, Weekly, Daily and Hourly closes are.
Easily identify current price relative position to these key prices.
I use it as a kind of pivot points and help me with trend following entries: longs if up from last close, shorts if down from last close.
Monthly: red line (MMMMM)
Weekly: orange line (WWWWW)
Daily: yellow line (DDDDD)
Hourly: white line (HHHHH)

Reset Every (Price)Someone requested a high/low price indicator that would reset the "remembered" prices daily. I started out doing just that, and then decided to make it much more configurable.
Choose the units (minutes, hours, days, weeks, months) and the number of those units, and this will reset the highest/lowest value remembered to the current values on your chosen time interval.
This should work with any time interval you desire, within reason...asking for resets every 4000 hours on a monthly chart will probably not work.
GE, monthly, every 7 months:
Ford, weekly, every 18 months:
Dow Jones Industrial Average, weekly, every 90 days:
LTCBTC, daily, every 10 days:
ETHUSD, 30 minutes, every 10 days:
BTCUSD, 1 minute, every 10 hours:
EURUSD, 1 minute, every 50 minutes:

Bias DailyThis indicator shows in a different way how to evaluate the BIAS Daily.
Evaluate yesterday's closed candle and that of the day before yesterday
The conditions are:
LONG BIAS =
Candle closed above High Candle [2 ]
- In this condition a long continuation can be considered
SHORT BIAS =
The candle closed below the low candle [2 ]
- In this condition a short continuation can be considered
IN THE RANGE =
The candle did not close below or above the Low and High candle
- In this condition it is better not to risk it
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose to show high or low BIAS levels
- Shows the Table in which the BIAS D is marked
The indicator should be used as TTrades shows in its videos, it can also be implemented in ICT strategies.
The indicator takes into consideration the last 2 candles already closed, so on the candle that is forming you can expect reactions in the Pd Array of the Candle Range , below I show examples of how to use it in Multitimeframe

berkusa Weekend and Daily virtual gapThe gap formed during weekends and weekdays on the CME exchange is virtually created because it does not occur on exchanges like Binance, which operate 24/7.
You need to use on crypto exchanges like Binance etc, which operate 24/7.
Weekend and Daily virtualgap Indicator and CME Gap UsageIndicator Overview
This Pine Script indicator visualizes weekend and daily trading sessions on the Bitcoin CME Futures chart, serving as a powerful tool for analyzing CME gaps. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) operates with limited trading hours (Sunday 18:00 to Friday 17:00, with a daily 1-hour break from 17:00 to 18:00, New York time), unlike the 24/7 spot Bitcoin market. This mismatch creates "gaps" on the CME chart during weekend closures, which this indicator helps identify and analyze alongside session ranges.Key Features Weekend Session (Friday 17:00 - Sunday 18:00): Starts at Friday 17:00 and ends at Sunday 18:00 (New York time).
Box extends to the next Friday 17:00 (yellow, customizable).
Session name and price range (e.g., "WEEKEND 2025-07-18\n(123.45)") displayed in the top-right corner (size.tiny).
Historical sessions: Default 3 weeks (weeksBack).
Midpoint line: Drawn at the session’s high-low midpoint, cyan (#00fffb).
Daily Session (17:00-18:00): Runs daily from 17:00 to 18:00 (New York time, excluding weekends).
Box extends to the next day’s 17:00 (blue, customizable).
Session name and price range in the top-right corner (size.tiny).
Historical sessions: Default 7 days (dailySessionsBack).
Midpoint line: Red (#FF0000).
Open Lines: Friday 17:00 or Sunday 18:00 Open Line: User selects “Friday” or “Sunday” (fridayOrSunday). Friday: Open price line extends to the next Friday 17:00.
Sunday: Open price line extends to the same day’s Sunday 18:00 (end of weekend session).
Line count: Default 2 (maxFridayLines), orange (fridayOpenColor).
Daily 18:00 Open Line: Daily 18:00 open price (excluding weekends), extends to the next day’s 18:00 (green, maxDailyLines=2).
Customization: Show/hide options: Weekend sessions (showWeekend), daily sessions (showDaily), open lines (showFridayOpenLines, showDailyOpenLines).
Color settings: Weekend box, daily box, midpoints, open lines.
Text settings: Session name (showSessionName) and range size (showRangeSize).
What Are CME Gaps and How to Use Them?
CME gaps occur when Bitcoin’s spot market moves during CME’s closed hours (Friday 17:00 to Sunday 18:00). For example, if CME closes at 50,000 USDT on Friday and opens at 52,000 USDT on Sunday, a gap forms between 50,000-52,000. Studies suggest that over 70% of these gaps are "filled" (price revisits the gap zone).
Usage in Trading: Support and Resistance: Gap zones often act as support or resistance levels. For instance, a gap between 50,000-52,000 may resist price at 52,000 or support at 50,000.
Entry/Exit Points: Traders can use gaps for entry or exit. Buy when price dips to the gap’s lower bound, or sell when it hits the upper bound.
Market Sentiment: Large gaps indicate sharp weekend sentiment shifts, useful for gauging market direction.
Risk Management: Use gap levels for stop-loss or take-profit points.
Application: Add this indicator to your TradingView chart.
Customize settings: Show/hide weekend or daily sessions.
Choose “Friday” or “Sunday” for open lines.
Adjust colors and historical session counts.
To analyze CME gaps: Use weekend session boxes (Friday 17:00 - Sunday 18:00) to visualize gap zones.
Use Friday 17:00 or Sunday 18:00 open lines to mark gap start or end points.
Monitor price revisiting gap zones, confirming with other indicators (RSI, moving averages).
Notes: Best used on CME Bitcoin Futures (BTC1!) charts.
Not all gaps fill immediately; some may persist for weeks or months.

Average Daily % Change by Weekday📊 Average Daily % Change by Weekday
This script calculates and displays the average daily percentage change for each weekday (Monday through Sunday) based on historical price data. It helps traders analyze which days tend to be bullish or bearish over a selected backtest date range.
✅ Features:
Customizable date range (From Year/Month/Day to To Year/Month/Day)
Calculates average % change for each weekday (Mon–Sun)
Supports assets that trade 7 days (e.g., crypto)
Color-coded outputs (green = positive, red = negative)
Final results shown as a table in the bottom-right corner
Works only on the 1D timeframe (daily)
🧠 How it works:
For each day within the selected date range:
The script calculates the % change as: (Close - Open) / Open * 100
Then, it groups the data by weekday and averages the values
This gives you insight into how each day of the week behaves historically for the current asset.
⚠️ Notes:
This script only works on daily (1D) timeframes.
For most accurate results, use it on assets with long trading history (e.g., BTCUSD).
Designed for educational and statistical analysis purposes.
Last Week's APM & Daily % Move(Corrected)Last Week's Average Price Movement + Daily Percentage Move (based on NY time)
This indicator accurately displays last week's Average Pip Movement (APM) consistently across all timeframes and tracks the true daily percentage move relative to that APM in a clear table in the top-right corner.
Key Features:
-Consistent Last Week's APM: Calculates the average pip movement from Monday to Friday of the previous trading week (based on daily wick-to-wick ranges, divided by 5). This APM value is now stable and the same across all chart timeframes.
-Accurate Live Daily % Move: Tracks the maximum percentage the price has moved (either up or down) since the 5 PM New York time daily open, compared to last week's APM. The percentage holds the maximum value reached during the day and resets at the next 5 PM NY open.
-NY Time Alignment: All time-based calculations are aligned with the New York time zone
Pip Adjustment: Automatically adjusts for JPY pairs.
⚠️ Important: For the intended display and relevance of the daily percentage move, this indicator is best used on timeframes 4-hour and under. On Daily and Weekly timeframes, the APM display will show a message indicating this.
We hope this indicator enhances your trading analysis.
Enhanced Daily Sentiment & Auction Area Trading StrategyDetermine Daily Sentiment (Anchor Chart - Daily TF):
Analyze Yesterday's Daily Candle: Look at the previous day's daily candlestick (high, low, open, close). This is the "most important information."
Establish Bias: If yesterday's candle was bullish (closed higher), the bias for today is generally long (approx. 80% of the time). If bearish, the bias is short.
Moving Average Context: Note if the daily price is above or below its short-term moving average (e.g., 21 or 50 MA). This should align with the candle's bias (e.g., bullish daily candle above its MA).
Pre-Market & Opening Analysis (Information Gathering):
Check for Gaps: Observe if the market is gapping up or down in the pre-market session relative to yesterday's close. This provides an early clue to current sentiment.
Consider Overall Sentiment: Briefly factor in relevant news or overarching market sentiment (e.g., data releases, overall market feeling from yields, gold etc.). Trading Window: Focus primarily on trading within the first hour of the U.S. market open, as this is when volatility is typically highest, which the strategy relies on.
Setup 5-Minute Chart for Execution (Trading TF - 5-min):
Apply Moving Average: Use the same short-term moving average (e.g., 21 or 50 MA) as on the daily chart.
Seek Alignment (Crucial): The 5-minute chart's trend and price action relative to its MA must align with the daily chart's bias and MA relationship.
If Daily bias is LONG (price above daily MA), the 5-minute chart should also show price establishing itself above its 5-min MA, ideally with a similar "45-degree angle" uptrend.
If Daily bias is SHORT (price below daily MA), the 5-minute chart should also show price establishing itself below its 5-min MA, with a similar downtrend. If there's no clear alignment between the daily and 5-minute chart structure/MA, do not trade.
Identify the "Auction Area" (Value/Congestion) on the 5-Minute Chart:
This is a recent area of congestion, a small support/resistance flip, or where price has paused, consolidated, and is retesting, often near the 5-minute MA.
Uptrend (Long Bias): Look for a pullback (a small "V" shape dip) towards the 5-minute MA or a recent small resistance-turned-support area. This is the "auction retest" before a potential breakout higher.
Downtrend (Short Bias): Look for a pullback rally (an inverted "V" shape) towards the 5-minute MA or a recent small support-turned-resistance area.
