Muzyorae - RTH Anchored Quarters CyclesRTH Anchored Quarters Cycles — Model Overview
The RTH Anchored Quarters Cycles model is designed to divide the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session of U.S. equities (typically 09:30 – 16:00 New York time) into four structured “quarters” plus a closing marker. It provides a consistent framework for analyzing intraday market behavior by aligning time-based partitions with the actual trading day.
Key Features
Anchored to RTH
The model starts each cycle at 09:30 NY time (the official cash open).
It ignores overnight or extended-hours data, focusing strictly on the RTH session, where the majority of institutional order flow takes place.
After 18:00 NY time, the model still references the same trading date, preventing false signals from session rollovers.
Quarterly Time Blocks
The trading day is split into five reference points:
Q1: 09:30 – 10:00
Q2: 10:00 – 11:30
Q3: 11:30 – 13:30
Q4: 13:30 – 16:00
End: Closing marker at 16:00
Each boundary is drawn as a vertical line on the chart, clearly separating the quarters.
Customization
Users can adjust the start/end times of each quarter.
So if you would like to wish to use ICT timing Macro, intraday, daily and even weekly
The line style, color, and width are configurable (solid/dotted/dashed).
A label is placed at each quarter boundary (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, End) for quick visual reference.
Days Back Control
The model can display the cycles for multiple past trading days (user-defined).
Weekend days are automatically skipped, so “2 days back” means today and the previous trading day.
Why It’s Useful
Intraday Structure: Traders can quickly identify where the market is within the daily RTH cycle.
Consistency: Since the model is anchored to RTH, it avoids confusion caused by overnight Globex activity.
Clarity: Vertical markers and labels provide a clean framework for aligning trade setups, volume analysis, or order flow studies with specific time windows.
Flexibility: The customizable settings allow adaptation across instruments and strategies.

Muzyorae - Quarterly CyclesQuarterly Theory — NY Session Macro Model
The Quarterly Theory is a time-based framework for analyzing intraday market behavior during the New York session. It divides the session into four sequential quarters (Q1–Q4), each reflecting institutional activity, liquidity accumulation, and directional bias.
Q1 – Accumulation (9:30–10:00 AM): Early positioning, initial liquidity sweeps, and potential early breakouts (AMDX - XAMD patterns).
Q2 – Manipulation/Expansion (10:00–11:30 AM): Main directional move with structure breaks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps.
Q3 – Distribution/Retracement (11:30 AM–1:30 PM): Consolidation, profit-taking, and market chop.
Q4 – Final Expansion/Repricing (1:30–4:00 PM): Trend continuation, reversals, and session high/low formation.
Key Features:
Fractal-based cycles scalable across intraday or multi-day timeframes.
Supports AMDX (Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution → Expansion) and XAMD reversal sequences.
Highlights early Q1 expansions, Q2 open reference, and critical liquidity zones.
Fully synchronized to NY time and compatible with ICT concepts (SMT, FVGs, OBs, BOS).
Professional visualization with optional labels and vertical markers.
Purpose:
Provides traders a systematic framework to align with institutional flow, anticipate liquidity accumulation, identify optimal entry/exit zones, and structure trades around high-probability intraday cycles.
Muzyorae - Quarterly TheoryQuarterly Theory — NY Session Macro Model
The Quarterly Theory Model is a structured framework for analyzing intraday market behavior based on institutional activity and macro-level cycles.
It divides the New York trading session into four sequential “quarters” (Q1–Q4), each representing distinct phases of market participation, liquidity accumulation, and directional bias.
This model is designed for professional traders who aim to align their strategies with institutional flows, key liquidity zones, and market structure shifts.
It accommodates both AMDX (Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution → Expansion) and XAMD (reversal sequences) fractal patterns, allowing traders to adapt to varying market conditions.
Price action may expand early during Q1 in an XAMD sequence, representing an initial breakout or early liquidity sweep before the typical Q2 manipulation phase. Traders should be aware that Q1 can occasionally produce unexpected volatility or directional bias in such sequences.
Session Breakdown (New York Time)
Q1 – Accumulation
Time: 9:30 – 10:00 AM
Phase Characteristics: Early session positioning, initial liquidity sweeps, and false moves. Institutions build positions while retail participants often react to gaps and premarket activity.
Note: Price may expand early in an XAMD sequence, creating a short-term directional move before Q2.
Q2 – Manipulation / Expansion
Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM
Phase Characteristics: The main directional move develops, often characterized by breaks of structure, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps. This is a prime area for trend initiation.
Q3 – Distribution / Retracement
Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Phase Characteristics: Price consolidates and retraces into prior accumulation zones, reflecting profit-taking or redistribution by institutions. Market chop and sideways movement are common.
Q4 – Final Expansion / Repricing
Time: 1:30 – 4:00 PM
Phase Characteristics: The afternoon session often produces final liquidity sweeps, trend continuation, or reversals, setting the high or low of the day and completing the daily macro cycle.
Key Features of the Model
Fractal-Based Structure: Q1–Q4 cycles reflect institutional behavior at a macro level, scalable to other intraday or multi-day fractals.
Supports AMDX & XAMD: Allows for both standard accumulation → manipulation → distribution → expansion sequences and reversal patterns depending on market behavior.
Early Expansion in Q1: Recognizes that in XAMD sequences, Q1 may produce early directional moves or breakout activity.
True Open Q2 Line: Highlights the opening price of Q2 as a reference for trend validation and potential entry zones.
Dynamic Time Alignment: Fully synchronized with New York (ET) time zone, ensuring accurate representation of market cycles.
Professional Visualization: Optional labels and vertical markers for each quarter, supporting quick visual analysis and pattern recognition.
Integration with ICT Concepts: Compatible with Smart Money Techniques (SMT), Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Break of Structure (BOS) for enhanced trade planning.
Purpose and Application
Anticipates areas of liquidity accumulation and manipulation.
Identifies optimal entry and exit zones within institutional cycles.
Structures trades around probable trend initiation and continuation periods.
Aligns retail activity with institutional flow for higher probability setups.
Adapts to market variability through AMDX and XAMD fractal patterns.
Accounts for early expansions or breakout activity during Q1 in XAMD sequences.
By using the Quarterly Theory Model, traders gain a systematic, time-based framework to interpret market structure and maximize alignment with institutional participants.
Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine [AlgoPoint]Smart Money Footprint & Cost Basis Engine
This indicator is a comprehensive market analysis tool designed to identify the "footprints" of Smart Money (institutions, whales) and pinpoint high-probability reaction zones. Instead of relying on lagging averages, this engine analyzes the very structure of the market to find where large players have shown their hand.
How It Works: The Core Logic
The indicator operates on a multi-stage confirmation process to identify and validate Smart Money zones:
Smart Money Detection (The Trigger): The engine first scans the chart for signs of intense, urgent buying or selling. It does this by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) created by large, high-volume Displacement Candles. This is our initial Point of Interest (POI).
Cost Basis Calculation (The Average Price): Once a potential Smart Money move is detected, the indicator calculates the Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for that specific move. This gives us a highly accurate estimate of the average price at which the large players entered their positions.
Historical Confirmation (The "Memory"): This is the indicator's most unique feature. It checks its historical database to see if a similar Smart Money move (in the same direction) has occurred in the same price area in the past. If a match is found, the zone's significance is confirmed.
Verified Cost Basis Zone (The Final Output): A zone that passes all the above checks is drawn on the chart as a high-probability Verified Cost Basis Zone. These are the "memory zones" where the market is likely to react upon a re-visit.
How to Use This Indicator
Cost Basis Zones (The Boxes):
Green Boxes: Bullish zones where Smart Money likely accumulated positions. When the price returns here, a BUY reaction is expected.
Red Boxes: Bearish zones where Smart Money likely distributed positions. When the price returns here, a SELL reaction is expected.
Zone Strength (★★★): Each zone is created with a star rating. More stars indicate a higher-confidence zone (based on factors like volume intensity and historical confirmation).
BUY/SELL Signals: A signal is only generated when the price enters a zone AND the confirmation filters (if enabled in the settings) are passed.
Zone Statuses:
Green/Red: Active and waiting to be tested.
Gray: The zone has been tested, and a signal was produced.
Dark Gray (Invalidated): The zone was broken decisively and is no longer considered valid support/resistance.
Key Settings
Signal Accuracy Filters: You can enable/disable three powerful filters to balance signal quantity and quality:
Momentum Confirmation (Stoch): Waits for momentum to align with the zone's direction.
Candlestick Confirmation (Engulfing): Waits for a strong reversal candle inside the zone.
Lower Timeframe MSS Confirmation: The most advanced filter; waits for a trend shift on a lower timeframe before giving a signal.
Historical Confirmation:
Require Historical Confirmation: Toggle the "Memory" feature on/off. Turn it off to see all potential SM zones.
Tolerance Calculation Method: Choose between a dynamic ATR Multiplier (recommended for all-around use) or a fixed Percentage to define the zone size.
HSM TOOLS Basic v2The HSM Tools indicator is designed to align with ICT concepts by providing a True Day Opening reference for every trading day.
It automatically separates the days of the week on your chart and plots the midnight opening price (00:00), which acts as a daily fair value level. This level can be used as support or resistance for trade entries.
The daily division also helps you interpret the Power of Three across the week, without the need for manual markings. Each day is plotted individually, and you can enable the display of historical windows for backtesting purposes.
Additionally, the script allows you to track both the midnight opening and the weekly opening line, providing a clear framework for bias, daily execution, and backtests.
Liquidity Swing Points [BackQuant]Liquidity Swing Points
This tool marks recent swing highs and swing lows and turns them into persistent horizontal “liquidity” levels. These are places where resting orders often accumulate, such as stop losses above prior highs and below prior lows. The script detects confirmed pivots, records their prices, draws lines and labels, and manages their lifecycle on the chart so you can monitor potential sweep or breakout zones without manual redrawing.
What it plots
LQ-H at confirmed swing highs
LQ-L at confirmed swing lows
Horizontal levels that can optionally extend into the future
Timed removal of old levels to keep the chart clean
Each level stores its price, the bar where it was created, its type (high or low), plus a label and a line reference for efficient updates.
How it works
Pivot detection
A swing high is confirmed when the highest high has swing_length bars on both sides that are lower.
A swing low is confirmed when the lowest low has swing_length bars on both sides that are higher.
Pivots are only marked after they are confirmed, so they do not repaint.
Level creation
When a pivot confirms, the script records the price and the creation bar (offset by the right lookback).
A new line is plotted at that price, labeled LQ-H or LQ-L.
Rendering and extension
Levels can be drawn to the most recent bar only or extended to the right for forward reference.
Label size and line color/transparency are configurable.
Lifecycle management
On each confirmed bar, the script checks level age.
Levels older than a chosen bar count are removed automatically to reduce clutter.
How it can be used
Liquidity sweeps: Watch for price to probe beyond a level then close back inside. That behavior often signals a potential fade back into the prior range.
Breakout validation: If price pushes through a level and holds on closes, traders may treat that as continuation. Retests of the level from the other side can serve as structure checks.
Context for entries and exits: Use nearby LQ-H or LQ-L as reference for stop placement or partial-take zones, especially when other tools agree.
Multi-timeframe mapping: Plot swing points on higher timeframes, then drill down to time entries on lower timeframes as price interacts with those levels.
Why liquidity levels matter
Prior swing points are focal areas where many strategies set stops or pending orders. Price often revisits these zones, either to “sweep” resting liquidity before reversing, or to absorb it and trend. Marking these areas objectively helps frame scenarios like failed breaks, successful breakouts, and retests, and it reduces the subjectivity of eyeballing structure.
Settings to know
Swing Detection Length (swing_length), Controls sensitivity. Lower values find more local swings. Higher values find more significant ones.
Bars until removal (removeafter), Deletes levels after a fixed number of bars to prevent buildup.
Extend Levels Right (extend_levels), Keeps levels projected into the future for easier planning.
Label Size (label_size), Choose tiny to large for chart readability.
One color input controls both high and low levels with transparency for context.
Strengths
Objective marking of recent structure without hand drawing
No repaint after confirmation since pivots are locked once the right lookback completes
Lightweight and fast with simple lifecycle management
Clear visuals that integrate well with any price-action workflow
Practical tips
For scalping: use smaller swing_length to capture more granular liquidity. Keep removeafter short to avoid clutter.
For swing trading: increase swing_length so only more meaningful levels remain. Consider extending levels to the right for planning.
Combine with time-of-day filters, ATR for stop sizing, or a separate trend filter to bias trades taken at the levels.
Keep screenshots focused: one image showing a sweep and reversal, another showing a clean breakout and retest.
Limitations and notes
Levels appear after confirmation, so they are delayed by swing_length bars. This is by design to avoid repainting.
On very noisy or illiquid symbols, you may see many nearby levels. Increasing swing_length and shortening removeafter helps.
The script does not assess volume or session context. Consider pairing with volume or session tools if that is part of your process.
DR/IDR Sessions with Standard Deviation (v1.5)This indicator plots the Defining Range (DR) and Initial Defining Range (IDR) during Regular, After, and Overnight sessions. It automatically identifies the session highs, lows, and midpoints, then extends these levels into later trading hours for market structure analysis.
Key features:
📍 Session Detection: Automatically marks Regular (RDR), After-hours (ADR), and Overnight (ODR) ranges.
📈 DR & IDR Lines: High, Low, and optional Mid lines for both DR and IDR.
🟩 Opening Line: Plots the session’s opening price with customizable extension options.
🎨 Visual Boxes: Highlights the DR/IDR area with customizable up/down coloring (based on candle open/close).
➕ Standard Deviation Lines: Plots levels at multiples of 0.5 × IDR, either dynamically (following price) or statically (fixed number of levels).
⏳ Extend Options: Extend ranges to session end, ADR end, ODR end, or dynamically follow price.
⚙️ Highly Customizable: Colors, line styles, box shading, visibility history, and extension behavior.
Usage:
Traders use this indicator to analyze liquidity, session ranges, and potential breakout or mean-reversion zones. The DR/IDR concept is often used in ICT-style trading to identify accumulation ranges and expansion phases. Standard Deviation lines help in spotting overextensions and possible reversal levels.
Liquidity Hunt IndicatorThis indicator automatically detects liquidity pools formed by swing highs and lows using fractal logic. It draws potential buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels (top/bottom lines) and dynamically updates them as price evolves.
White lines = pending liquidity levels (untested).
Red lines = liquidity taken from above (buy-side liquidity sweep).
Green lines = liquidity taken from below (sell-side liquidity sweep).
Alerts trigger when price breaks a liquidity line.
This tool helps traders track where liquidity might be resting and visualize when price sweeps it — useful for smart money concepts (SMC), ICT-style trading, and liquidity-based strategies.

Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
Erendev - Sessions for SweepsDescription:
This indicator is designed for intraday traders who focus on liquidity sweeps and session-based market structure.
It automatically draws session boxes for Asia, London, New York, and New York PM and highlights the highs and lows of each session. These levels act as important liquidity reference points.
How it works:
Session Boxes: Visualizes each trading session (Asia, London, New York, NY PM) with adjustable colors and transparency.
Highs/Lows: At the close of each session, the indicator projects horizontal rays of the high/low until touched by price or until the day ends.
Daily Separators: Optional background stripes or vertical lines mark new trading days, helping traders distinguish daily cycles.
Day-of-Week Markers: Marks weekdays at the bottom of the chart to help align intraday patterns.
Alerts: Alerts trigger when price interacts with session highs/lows, allowing traders to track liquidity sweeps in real time.
Unique Concept:
Unlike generic session indicators, this script integrates session-based liquidity sweeps directly into the workflow. It’s not only showing the sessions but also tracks untouched highs/lows as liquidity pools—a key ICT-inspired concept.
By combining session timing, liquidity sweeps, and visual clarity, the tool provides a structured intraday map for traders.
Usage:
Works best on intraday timeframes (1m–60m).
Above 2H, visuals are automatically disabled to keep charts clean.
Traders can hide/show sessions individually and customize line styles, widths, and colors.
Can be used across Forex, Futures, and Indices for scalping or day trading.
True Order Block (OB) True Order Block (OB)
This script automatically detects and plots Order Blocks (OBs) based on the presence of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Only Order Blocks are displayed on the chart.
🔎 How it works
The script looks for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) according to a relaxed 3-candle definition.
Once an FVG is detected:
For a Bullish FVG → the last bearish candle before the gap is marked as the Bullish Order Block.
For a Bearish FVG → the last bullish candle before the gap is marked as the Bearish Order Block.
OBs are extended into the future until price either:
mitigates the zone (optional auto-removal), or
the number of live OBs exceeds the user’s maximum (FIFO cleanup).
⚙️ User settings
Draw Order Blocks (enable/disable plotting)
Minimum OB length (how far each zone extends initially)
Remove OB after violation (auto delete invalidated zones)
Max active OBs (limit on displayed zones for clarity)
Bullish/Bearish OB colors
✅ Key features
Fully automated OB detection
No clutter – only OBs are plotted (FVG logic hidden in the background)
Smart cleanup: mitigated zones are removed automatically
Customizable colors & limits
⚠️ Notes
This tool is designed for educational and analytical purposes only.
It does not generate trade signals.
Always combine with your own strategy, market context, and risk management.
FVG Zones – shrink on fill (bull/bear)Detects classic 3-candle FVGs (ICT definition).
Draws zones as boxes that extend to the right.
On each bar close:

Possible extensions:
Multi-timeframe FVGs (e.g. H1 FVGs shown on M5).
Separate limits for bullish and bearish zones.
Alerts for new FVG, partial fill, or closed FVG.
Option “Body only” (ignore wicks when detecting overlap).
Minimum FVG size filter (ticks/ATR).
SMT for Time-Based Sessions [ufo]SMT for Time-Based Sessions identifies when one asset breaks a session’s high/low while another correlated asset fails to do so. This imbalance often signals engineered liquidity grabs, reversals, or continuation setups. By focusing on divergences within specific trading sessions (London, New York AM, Lunch, New York PM, Asia, Daily or your own custom windows), the tool filters out noise and pinpoints only the most meaningful SMT divergences across multiple symbols in real-time.
Core Concept:
SMT (Smart Money Technique/Tool/Time) is a concept popularized by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) that suggests that when correlated or inversely correlated instruments fail to confirm each other's price movements (e.g., one breaks a high/low while the other doesn’t), it often indicates:
Liquidity manipulation by institutional players
Potential reversal points in the market
Weakness or strength in the current trend
Stop hunt operations before significant moves
This indicator identifies these divergences by comparing your chart symbol against up to two comparison symbols across different sessions and timeframes.
How Time-Based SMT Works:
Unlike basic divergence tools, this indicator is built specifically for Session-Based and Timeframe-Based SMT tracking. It continuously monitors intraday sessions and higher timeframes, then plots divergences the moment they occur.
Time-Based Session SMT
Session Tracking: Monitors highs and lows during each session
Post-Session Analysis: After a session ends, tracks whether price breaks session levels
Divergence Detection: When the main symbol breaks a high/low but comparison symbols don’t (or vice versa), an SMT signal is triggered
(e.g. Nasdaq traded above London high while S&P500 does not)
Visual Confirmation: Lines connect the session reference to the current extreme, with labels showing the diverging session, high/low, and symbol, this information is also displayed in the Info Panel
This will update if a new high/low extreme is made while the SMT is still valid, if invalidated these will be removed from the chart
Example:
This NQ chart includes ES and YM as comparison symbols. At 03:20 AM New York time, both ES and YM broke the Asia session low (20:00 – 00:00), while NQ did not. This creates a bullish session divergence , which the indicator immediately detects and plots.
Although the chart shows three symbols for illustration, you don’t need to manually monitor comparison charts when using this indicator, the SMT divergence will be plotted automatically as soon as it occurs
Consecutive Candle SMT (CC SMT)
Previous Candle Reference: Uses the previous candle's high/low from the selected timeframe
Real-Time Comparison: Monitors if current price breaks these levels across all symbols
Instant Detection: Triggers SMT immediately when divergence occurs
Dynamic Updates: Lines and labels update in real-time as new extremes form and are automatically removed if invalidated
Example:
Here I configured CC SMT Timeframe 1 to monitor the previous 4-hour candle’s high/low. On this NQ chart with ES as a comparison symbol, ES broke above the prior 4-hour high at 14:00 New York time, while NQ did not, showing relative weakness creating a bearish CC SMT divergence
This chart is just an illustration. The indicator will automatically plot SMT divergences on your main chart, regardless of the timeframe you’re viewing
How To Use:
This indicator is not a buy/sell signal on its own. Instead, it is designed to highlight Time-Based SMT divergences so you can combine them with your existing trading strategy or model. It should be used as an extra layer of confluence, helping you confirm trade ideas.
Select your comparison symbols
For example:
Futures: NQ vs ES/YM
Forex: EURUSD vs GBPUSD/DXY(inversely)
Crypto: BTC vs ETH
Commodities: Gold vs Silver
Choose which sessions or candle timeframes you want the indicator to monitor
Watch for divergences the indicator plots when one symbol breaks a high/low while the other does not
Use these divergences as confluence, alongside your own strategy and risk management rules
Key Features:
Multiple Comparison Symbols
Symbol 1 & Symbol 2: Compare your main chart against up to 2 correlated instruments
Symbol Inversion: Perfect for inversely correlated pairs (e.g., EURUSD vs DXY)
Session-Based SMT Tracking
Monitors 7 fully customizable trading sessions with the default being:
London Session (2:00-5:00 NY time)

Custom Session 6 (if you want to add an extra session)
Daily Session (18:00-18:00 NY time)
Fully customizable session times and names
Automatically detects when the main symbol breaks a session high/low while comparison symbols don't (and vice versa)
Consecutive Candle SMT (CC SMT)
Monitors 3 customizable timeframes
Tracking of divergences based on specific timeframe candles (15min, 60min, 4 hour, weekly, etc.)
Identifies when the current price breaks the previous candle's high/low differently than comparison symbols
Maintains history of past SMTs (configurable)
Timeframe 3 supports custom time shifts for non-standard candle boundaries
Example: 90min timeframe with a +60 shift changes the candle range from:
00:00-01:30, 01:30-03:00 etc
to:
01:00-02:30, 02:30-04:00 etc

This tool automates the heavy lifting of tracking divergences across multiple markets and sessions, continuously monitoring highs and lows in real time and plotting only the most meaningful SMT signals so you can focus on execution, not chart-watching.
Smart Money Time (SMT)SMT Divergence – 90m / 30m / 10m (Prev-Cycle, Real-Time, Trailing)
Purpose:
This indicator finds SMT (Smart Money Technique) divergences between two related markets (e.g., CME_MINI:NQ1! vs CME_MINI:ES1! ). It does this per 90m/30m/10m cycles and only compares the current cycle to the immediately previous cycle —never older. It supports three cycle granularities:
90-minute cycles (9 blocks from 02:30–16:00 NY time)
30-minute sub-cycles (27 blocks)
10-minute sub-cycles (81 blocks; exactly 3 per 30-minute cycle)
For each cycle, the script tracks each symbol’s extreme (highest high for potential bearish SMT, lowest low for potential bullish SMT). When the leader sets a new extreme vs its own previous cycle while the lagger fails to do so vs its previous cycle, an SMT divergence is formed and plotted on the chart in real time. Lines trail as price makes new extremes within the same cycle.
What you’ll see on the chart:
A line from the previous cycle’s extreme to the current cycle’s extreme on the symbol pane where the indicator is applied (Primary A).
An optional text label at the current extreme (e.g., “90m SMT”, “30m SMT”, “10m SMT”).
Lines update (“trail”) as the current cycle goes on. When a new cycle begins, tracking resets for that cycle.
Default styling (editable):
90m SMT: solid, width 1, black
30m SMT: solid, width 1, black
10m SMT: dotted, width 1, black
You can toggle the text on/off and change width, style, and colors separately for 90m, 30m, and 10m.
Signals (definitions)
Bearish SMT: One market makes a Higher High vs its own previous cycle, while the other fails to make a Higher High vs its previous cycle.
Bullish SMT: One market makes a Lower Low vs its own previous cycle, while the other fails to make a Lower Low vs its previous cycle.
The line is drawn on Primary A by default.
Settings (explained)
Symbols
Primary Symbol A – the chart’s “leader/lagger” pane the script draws on.
Comparison Symbol B – the second market used for SMT checks.
Detection toggles
Detect SMT: 90m / 30m / 10m – turn on/off detection for each timeframe.
Note: The script always compares current cycle ↔ previous cycle only.
Validate candle direction
When enabled, the bar that makes the new extreme must also close in the confirming direction on that same market:
Bearish SMT: the bar that made the new Higher High must be a down close (close < open).
Bullish SMT: the bar that made the new Lower Low must be an up close (close > open).
This filter removes many “wick-only” probes and reduces false positives.
Turn off if you prefer to register SMTs on any intrabar extreme, regardless of bar close.
Delete SMT when invalidated
After an SMT forms, if the lagger later breaks the previous extreme it initially failed to break, the divergence is considered invalid and the script deletes the line and its label. (An “SMT invalidated” alert can fire if alerts are enabled.)
Enable alerts
Fires on SMT formed (separate messages for 90m/30m/10m and bullish/bearish) and on SMT invalidated.
To use, click Create Alert on the indicator and choose “Any alert() function call”. Use “Once per bar” (or per bar close) to taste.
Appearance – per timeframe (90m / 30m / 10m)
Bullish/Bearish colors, Line width, Line style, Show text (toggle subtitle label).
Text Options
Text color, Text size, Text offset (vertical spacing from the extreme).
How to use
Add to chart and select two related markets, e.g., NQ (A) vs ES (B).
Choose which cycles to monitor (90m / 30m / 10m).
Optionally enable Validate candle direction to demand a confirming close on the bar that made the extreme.
Watch for plotted SMTs:
Bearish SMT (HH vs no HH) often signals potential weakness
Bullish SMT (LL vs no LL) often signals potential strength
Use SMTs as context/confluence—e.g., near session highs/lows, liquidity pools, PD arrays, or your own levels. Combine with structure, order flow, and risk rules.
Turn on alerts to be notified when SMTs form or are invalidated in real time.
Notes & behavior
New-York session timing: Cycles are fixed windows in America/New_York and automatically handle DST.
Real-time & trailing: Lines trail to the most recent extreme within the same cycle but there’s no look-ahead across cycles.
No repaint across cycles: Each signal is strictly current cycle vs previous cycle.
Cleanup: On invalidation the script deletes the label first, then the line, preventing orphan labels.
Tips
10m SMTs are more frequent/noisier; 90m are fewer but more meaningful. Many traders look for multi-frame agreement (e.g., a 30m SMT aligning with a fresh 10m SMT).
If you want fewer signals, keep Validate candle direction on; if you want maximum sensitivity, turn it off.

Weekly High/Low Day StatsThis TradingView Pine Script (v5) analyzes weekly highs and lows to identify on which day of the week (Monday → Friday) they most frequently occur.
🔎 How it works:
Tracks the weekly highest high and lowest low.
At the end of each week, it records the day of the week when the high and low were set.
Keeps historical data for the last 100 weeks (adjustable).
Displays a table showing:
How many times each day marked the weekly high or weekly low.
The corresponding percentage distribution.
🎯 Use case:
Helps traders understand the weekly timing tendency
Reveals which day is statistically more likely to set the weekly high or weekly low.
Useful for weekly planning and strategies that rely on market structure and timing (e.g., ICT concepts like the "High/Low of the Week").

True Opens - (SpeculatorBryan)Overview
This indicator provides a complete framework of key institutional levels by plotting the "True Open" price for the Month, Week, Day, and Intraday Sessions. Instead of using standard chart opens, it uses specific, globally significant times (based in the NY timezone) to identify levels that price action traders watch closely for support, resistance, and market direction.
What It Does
True Monthly Open (TMO): The key macro level, marking the start of the month's trading.
True Weekly Open (TWO): Arguably the most important level, defining the weekly bias. Based on the Sunday evening start of the forex trading week.
True Daily Open (TDO): The New York midnight open, marking the true start of the institutional 24-hour cycle.
True Session Opens (TSO): Key intraday opens (e.g., London, NY) for finding entries and exits on lower timeframes.
Key Features
Clean Forward Projection: All lines and labels project into the future, so you always see the levels in your current price action.
Full Styling Control: Customize the color, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and text for every level to match your chart theme.
Intelligent Display: Levels automatically show on appropriate timeframes to keep your chart clutter-free. Use the "Stacked Opens" feature to override this.
Lightweight & Efficient: Optimized to run smoothly without lagging your chart.
How to Use It
Look for price to react at these levels. A bounce can signal a continuation, while a clean break and retest can signal a change in market structure. Use the higher-timeframe opens (TMO, TWO) as major anchors for your overall bias and the lower-timeframe opens (TDO, TSO) for fine-tuning your entries and exits.

Time Cycles SMT Detector📊 Overview
The Time Cycles SMT Detector is an advanced indicator designed to identify Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences across multiple time cycles during the New York trading session. It compares price action between correlated instruments to spot institutional footprints and potential market reversals.
🎯 What is SMT (Smart Money Timing)?
SMT occurs when correlated markets fail to make matching highs or lows, indicating potential institutional manipulation or positioning. This divergence often precedes significant market moves.
⚙️ Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Cycle Analysis:
90-minute cycles (6 cycles per trading day) - Major institutional positioning
30-minute cycles (18 cycles per trading day) - Intermediate market structure
10-minute cycles (54 cycles per trading day) - Intraday momentum shifts
3-minute cycles (180 cycles per trading day) - Scalping opportunities
Intelligent Overlap Prevention
Hierarchical priority system prevents visual clutter
Higher timeframe SMTs take precedence over lower timeframes
Clean, readable charts even with multiple active signals

Real-time alerts for all timeframes
💡 How to use it
Add to your chart - Works best on 1-minute timeframe for maximum precision
Select your correlated instruments - Default MES/MYM for NQ traders
Monitor for divergences - Look for SMT lines connecting cycle highs/lows
Confirm with market context - Use alongside your existing strategy
Trade the convergence - Expect prices to realign after SMT divergence
🎓 Best Practices
Focus on higher timeframes first - 90m and 30m SMTs carry more weight
Look for confluence - Multiple timeframes showing same direction SMT
Time your entries - Use lower timeframe SMTs (10m, 3m) for precise entry timing
Respect the hierarchy - When overlapping signals occur, higher timeframes have priority
