John M Oscillator with Zero-Cross Range ScalingThis oscillator tries to measure momentum by comparing the current price to the Heikin Ashi open price, then scales that signal based on how much the price has moved since the last time the signal crossed zero. This makes the strength of the move relative to the recent market activity, which can help identify overbought/oversold zones more adaptively than traditional oscillators.
Helps you spot trend shifts early by watching for zero crossings.
The scaling helps you judge if the trend is weak or strong, instead of just relying on absolute price movement.
Ideal for momentum-based entries/exits, divergence spotting, and avoiding fakeouts.
Components:
1. Heikin Ashi Values:
- Heikin Ashi open is the average of the previous period's open and close.
- Heikin Ashi close is the average of the current period's open, high, low, and close.
2. Basic Oscillator Calculation:
- Calculated by subtracting the Heikin Ashi open from the current close price.
3. Smoothing:
- An EMA is applied to the basic oscillator value for noise reduction.
4. Zero-Cross Range Scaling:
- Identifies the range between the last two zero crossings.
- Finds the largest candle range (High to Low) within this zero-cross range.
- Scales the oscillator as a percentage of this largest range.
5. Color Coding:
- The oscillator plot is green when positive and red when negative.
6. Reference Lines:
- Horizontal lines are drawn at -100, -80, -70, -50, 0, 50, 70, 80, and 100 for reference.
Use Case:
This oscillator helps traders identify trends and momentum with a percentage scale based on recent price action. The scaling provides a view of the oscillator's strength relative to the most significant price movement since the last trend change, making it easier to identify potential reversals or trend continuations

First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

Daily Range %The Daily Range % Indicator calculates and plots a percentage of the daily range (high to low) based on a custom lookback period. It identifies outside bars from past daily data, prioritizing the most recent unbroken range. If no outside bar is found, it defaults to yesterday's range. The selected percentage of this range is then displayed on the chart, updating once per 5-minute bar (or the chosen resolution).
Fibonacci RangeFibonacci Range 50 Indicator
The Fibonacci Range 50 indicator is designed to help traders identify potential price reversal zones and breakout levels by utilizing the 50% Fibonacci retracement level as a key reference point. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on technical analysis and price action to make informed trading decisions.
How It Works:
Identifies the Range – The indicator automatically detects a significant price range, typically based on the highest and lowest points of a given session (e.g., Asian session, previous day’s range, or a custom timeframe).
Plots Fibonacci Levels – The key 50% Fibonacci retracement level is calculated within this range, acting as a dynamic midpoint that often serves as a pivot zone for price movements.
Breakout & Reversal Signals –
If the price rejects the 50% level, it may indicate a trend continuation or range-bound movement.
If the price breaks above or below the range with momentum, it may signal a potential breakout trade opportunity.
Key Features:
✅ Automatic Fibonacci Level Calculation – No manual drawing required.
✅ Customizable Time Ranges – Allows traders to adjust the indicator based on their preferred trading session.
✅ Works Across Different Markets – Effective for Forex, Crypto, and Stock trading.
✅ Breakout & Reversal Strategy Integration – Can be used in conjunction with other indicators such as Moving Averages, RSI, and MACD.
Ideal For:
Intraday traders looking for high-probability setups.
Swing traders identifying potential turning points.
Traders using breakout strategies based on price action.
This indicator provides traders with clear and actionable insights to improve their trade entries, stop-loss placements, and profit targets. 🚀
Opening Range BoxIndicator Name: Opening Range Box with Extensions
Author: YanivBull
Description:
The Opening Range Box with Extensions is a powerful tool designed to visualize the trading range established during the first 30 minutes of a market session, a critical period for setting the day's trend. This indicator plots a box representing the high and low prices formed within this opening range, with dashed extension lines projecting these levels forward throughout the session.
Its primary purpose is to identify the boundaries of the initial trend at the start of trading. When these boundaries are breached, it serves as a trigger for potential trading opportunities: a breakout above the box high signals a possible long entry, while a breakdown below the box low indicates a potential short entry. The indicator also includes historical boxes for up to 5 previous days (configurable), allowing traders to analyze past opening ranges and their extensions for context and pattern recognition.
Key Features:
Customizable session start time (hour and minute) to adapt to various markets (e.g., NYSE, DAX, etc.).
Displays the current session's opening range box in blue and historical boxes in gray.
Plots dashed extension lines from the high and low of each box, limited to 500 bars or the end of the trading day.
Adjustable number of historical days (1-20, default 5).
Usage:
Set the Session Start Hour and Session Start Minute according to your market's opening time (relative to your chart's timezone, e.g., UTC+2). Watch for price action around the box boundaries—breakouts above the high or below the low can be used as signals for initiating long or short trades, respectively. Combine with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
This indicator is ideal for day traders looking to capitalize on early session momentum and breakout strategies.
Static price-range projection by symbolThis indicator shows you a predefined range to the right of the last candle of your chart. This range is custom and can be changed for a handful of symbols that you can choose. This scale will help you determining if the market is providing a reasonable range before you enter a trade or if the market isn't actually moving as much as you might think. This is particularly useful if you are into scalping and have to consider commission or spread in your trades.
Since all symbols have different price ranges in which they move this indicator doesn't make sense to just have "a one size fits all" approach. That's why you can choose up to 6 symbols and set the range that you want to have shown for each when you pull it up on the chart. Using my default values that means for when the NQ (Nasdaq future) is on the chart you will see a range of 20 handles projected. When you change the the ES (S&P500 future) you will instead see 5 handles. While the number is different that is somewhat of an equal move in both symbols.
There also is an option to set a default price range for all other symbols that are not selected if it is needed. However the display of the scale on anything else than the 6 selected symbols can also be turned off.
There are options provided on how exactly you want to indicator to determine if the chart symbol matches one of the selected symbols.
You can enable it to make sure the exchange/broker is the exact same as selected.
It can check for only the symbol root to match the selection. Specifically for futures this means that while ES1! might be selected, anything ES (ES1!, ES2!, ESH2025, ESM2025, ESM2022, ...) will be a match to the selection)
On the painted scale it is possible to not just show this range extended into each direction once. Per default you will have 3 segments of it in each direction. This can be reduced to just 1 or increased.
If you chose a high number of segments or a large range make sure to use the "Scale price chart only" option on your chart scale to not have the symbols price candles squished together by the charts auto scaling.
And last but not least the indicator options provide some possibilities to change the appearance of the printed price range scale in case you disagree with my design.
Opening Range, Initial Balance, Opening Price, Pre-market Levels### Description of the Indicator: **Opening Range, Initial Balance, Opening Price, Pre-market Levels**
This custom TradingView indicator provides a comprehensive view of key price levels for intraday trading, specifically designed to track important levels from the Opening Range (OR), Initial Balance (IB), Opening Price (OP), and Pre-market session (PM). These levels are essential for traders to gauge potential market movements and identify critical areas of support and resistance.
#### **Features:**
1. **Opening Range (OR):**
- This is the high and low of the first 30 minutes of the regular market session (09:30 - 10:00 EST).
- The OR high and low act as significant levels that may influence price movement for the rest of the day.
- The mid-level of the Opening Range (OR Mid) is also plotted to give a more detailed view of potential price action.
2. **Initial Balance (IB):**
- The Initial Balance is the range created during the first hour of market activity (09:30 - 10:30 EST).
- This range often sets the tone for the market's direction. The IB high and low, along with the IB midline, are plotted for quick reference.
3. **Opening Price (OP):**
- The opening price of the market is marked as a circle and labeled "OP."
- This level provides context for market sentiment when compared to the high and low levels.
4. **Pre-market Levels (PM):**
- The pre-market session (04:00 - 09:30 EST) has its own important levels that are calculated for the high, low, and mid range (PM High, PM Low, and PM Mid).
- These levels are plotted and are useful for traders to understand where the market stood before the regular session opened.
#### **Customization Options:**
- **Exchange Timezone:** You can choose whether to display the times in the exchange's local timezone or in your own preferred timezone.
- **Mid Levels Display:** You can toggle whether the mid levels for each range (OR, IB, PM) should be shown on the chart.
- **Level Color Change:** The colors of the plotted levels (high, low, mid) change based on whether the price is above or below the respective level, making it easy to visualize potential support and resistance.
- **Label Positions:** The position of the labels (OR, IB, OP, PM) on the chart can be customized to avoid overlap with other data points.
#### **Key Use Cases:**
- **Intraday Trend Analysis:** Use the OR and IB to identify key levels for the day, providing insights into the possible trend or range for the day.
- **Pre-market Insights:** The PM levels are crucial for understanding where the market stood during the pre-market hours and can be used as reference points during the regular session.
- **Potential Support and Resistance:** The high and low levels of the OR, IB, and PM sessions can act as potential support or resistance, which are useful for setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
#### **How to Use:**
- Pay attention to the levels provided for OR, IB, and PM as potential entry and exit points.
- Watch for breakouts or reversals around these levels, especially when combined with other technical indicators or price action patterns.
- The mid levels offer an additional reference to assess price direction or identify possible areas of consolidation.
This indicator is perfect for day traders who rely on key intraday levels and pre-market activity to make informed trading decisions. It helps to streamline the process of identifying potential breakouts, reversals, and ranges in the market.

CandelaCharts - OHLC Macro Range Map 📝 Overview
Elevate your candlestick analysis with the OHLC Macro Range Map!
Unlike conventional OHLC charts, this advanced indicator weaves Inner Circle Trader (ICT) principles into its design, helping you decode accumulation, manipulation, and distribution patterns—candle by candle.
ICT traders recognize manipulation through wicks that extend against the candle’s closing direction—a deliberate move to mislead participants into unfavorable positions. These deceptive movements often hint at market manipulation phases. By decoding these subtle signals, traders can anticipate the distribution phase of a candle, where price action reveals potential liquidity targets, retracement zones, and key reversal points.
These levels offer valuable insights into order flow, revealing how price interacts with them and the sequence of movements within the market.
To enhance price analysis, the tool also monitors the average duration of manipulation and distribution phases. By blending historical timing patterns with key price levels associated with these phases, traders can conduct deeper analyses and fine-tune their strategies for better decision-making.
Although grounded in historical data, this indicator does not promise that past patterns will replicate in future market conditions. Instead, it provides a data-driven framework to identify moments when candles are likely to reverse after manipulation phases or retrace following completed distributions. This empowers traders to pinpoint potential market turning points with greater accuracy.

CandelaCharts - OHLC Range Map 📝 Overview
Explore the intricate art of candlestick analysis with the OHLC Range Map!
Elevate your TradingView experience by integrating this dynamic tool into your trading strategies with actionable insights. This cutting-edge indicator transcends standard OHLC visuals, leveraging Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts to dissect accumulation, manipulation, and distribution on a candle-by-candle basis.
ICT traders recognize manipulation through the wick extending opposite the candle’s close. This movement often serves to mislead market participants into taking positions in the "wrong" direction, signaling potential manipulation legs. Analysts can use these insights to anticipate a candle’s distribution phase. During distribution, price extends to higher or lower levels, offering key clues for identifying liquidity draws, potential retracements, or reversals.
These levels offer valuable insights into order flow, highlighting how price interacts with them and the sequence of its delivery.
To enhance price mapping, the tool also charts the average timing for the completion of manipulation and distribution phases. This feature empowers traders to combine historical timing patterns with the price levels associated with manipulation and distribution for a deeper analysis.
Like all tools based on historical data, this indicator does not guarantee that past patterns will replicate in future market conditions. Designed with a data-driven edge, it highlights moments when candles are likely to reverse following manipulation phases or retrace after completing defined distributions, helping analysts spot potential turning points.

JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.
---
Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
Best Range (Day Trading)The indicator is based on a formula very similar to that of the ATR. The average volatility of the last candles (a value adjustable via inputs) is calculated, and this value is then divided (a value adjustable via inputs), providing a specific value in terms of RANGE .
Its use is very straightforward. It was primarily designed for stock indices (Nasdaq & SPX). When used on the DAILY timeframe, it provides the recommended RANGE value for day trading with structural logic.
Its goal is to offer a guiding value for setting the chart to a range-based view that is optimal and as effective as possible in identifying breakouts of specific levels , helping traders avoid false breakouts or misleading structures.
We can also observe a division of levels into quartiles (25, 50, 75, 100, 125...). This helps provide reference ranges, allowing the range to be used with rounded numbers .
For example, on Nasdaq , if the indicator set on DAILY provides a value between 200 and 250, then it is advisable to visualize the chart at 200 RANGE for a more aggressive approach or at 250 RANGE for a more conservative approach.
On SPX , which is less volatile, we use increments of 25. If the indicator gives a value between 25 and 50 , then we use 25 for an aggressive approach and 50 for a conservative approach.
Obviously, this refers to FUTURES and the tick movements of MINI contracts.

Visual Range Position Size CalculatorVisual Range Position Size Calculator
The "VR Position Size Calculator" helps traders determine the appropriate position size based on their risk tolerance and the current market conditions. Below is a detailed description of the script, its functionality, and how to use it effectively.
---
Key Features
1. Risk Calculation: The script allows users to input their desired risk in monetary terms (in the currency of the ticker). It then calculates the position sizes for both long and short trades based on this risk.
2. Dynamic High and Low Tracking: The script dynamically tracks the highest and lowest prices within the visible range of the chart, allowing for more accurate position sizing.
3. Formatted Output: The calculated values are displayed in a user-friendly table format with thousands separators for better readability.
4. Visual Indicators: Dashed lines are drawn on the chart at the high and low points of the visible range, providing a clear visual reference for traders.
5. If the risk in security price is 1% or less, the background of the cells displaying position sizes will be green for long positions and red for short positions. If the risk is between 1% and 5%, the background changes to gray, indicating that the risk may be too high for an effective trade. If the risk exceeds 5% of the price, the text also turns gray, rendering it invisible, which signifies that there is no justification for such a trade.
---
Code Explanation
The script identifies the start and end times of the visible range on the chart, ensuring calculations are based only on the data currently in view. It updates and stores the highest (hh) and lowest (ll) prices within this visible range. At the end of the range, dashed lines are drawn at the high and low prices, providing a visual cue for traders.
Users can input their risk amount, which is then used to calculate potential position sizes for both long and short trades based on the current price relative to the tracked high and low. The calculated risk values and position sizes are displayed in a table on the right side of the chart, with color coding to indicate whether the calculated position size meets specific criteria.

ICT Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG🔵 Introduction
Judas Swing is an advanced trading setup designed to identify false price movements early in the trading day. This advanced trading strategy operates on the principle that major market players, or "smart money," drive price in a certain direction during the early hours to mislead smaller traders.
This deceptive movement attracts liquidity at specific levels, allowing larger players to execute primary trades in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the price to return to its true path.
The Judas Swing setup functions within two primary time frames, tailored separately for Forex and Stock markets. In the Forex market, the setup uses the 8:15 to 8:30 AM window to identify the high and low points, followed by the 8:30 to 8:45 AM frame to execute the Judas move and identify the CISD Level break, where Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones are subsequently detected.
In the Stock market, these time frames shift to 9:15 to 9:30 AM for identifying highs and lows and 9:30 to 9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Concepts such as Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) are crucial in this setup. An Order Block represents a chart region with a high volume of buy or sell orders placed by major financial institutions, marking significant levels where price reacts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to areas where price has moved rapidly without balance between supply and demand, highlighting zones of potential price action and future liquidity.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Judas Swing setup enables traders to pinpoint entry and exit points by utilizing Order Block and FVG concepts, helping them align with liquidity-driven moves orchestrated by smart money. This setup applies two distinct time frames for Forex and Stocks to capture early deceptive movements, offering traders optimized entry or exit moments.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish Judas Swing setup, the first step is to identify High and Low points within the initial time frame. These levels serve as key points where price may react, forming the basis for analyzing the setup and assisting traders in anticipating future market shifts.
In the second time frame, a critical stage of the bullish setup begins. During this phase, the price may create a false break or Fake Break below the low level, a deceptive move by major players to absorb liquidity. This false move often causes smaller traders to enter positions incorrectly. After this fake-out, the price reverses upward, breaking the CISD Level, a critical point in the market structure, signaling a potential bullish trend.
Upon breaking the CISD Level and reversing upward, the indicator identifies both the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Order Block is an area where major players typically place large buy orders, signaling potential price support. Meanwhile, the FVG marks a region of supply-demand imbalance, signaling areas where price might react.
Ultimately, after these key zones are identified, a trader may open a buy position if the price reaches one of these critical areas—Order Block or FVG—and reacts positively. Trading at these levels enhances the chance of success due to liquidity absorption and support from smart money, marking an opportune time for entering a long position.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish Judas Swing setup, analysis begins with marking the High and Low levels in the initial time frame. These levels serve as key zones where price could react, helping to signal possible trend reversals. Identifying these levels is essential for locating significant bearish zones and positioning traders to capitalize on downward movements.
In the second time frame, the primary bearish setup unfolds. During this stage, price may exhibit a Fake Break above the high, causing a brief move upward and misleading smaller traders into incorrect positions. After this false move, the price typically returns downward, breaking the CISD Level—a crucial bearish trend indicator.
With the CISD Level broken and a bearish trend confirmed, the indicator identifies the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Bearish Order Block is a region where smart money places significant sell orders, prompting a negative price reaction. The FVG denotes an area of supply-demand imbalance, signifying potential selling pressure.
When the price reaches one of these critical areas—the Bearish Order Block or FVG—and reacts downward, a trader may initiate a sell position. Entering trades at these levels, due to increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption, offers traders an advantage in profiting from price declines.
🔵 Settings
Market : The indicator allows users to choose between Forex and Stocks, automatically adjusting the time frames for the "Opening Range" and "Trading Permit" accordingly: Forex: 8:15–8:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 8:30–8:45 AM for capturing the Judas move and CISD Level break. Stocks: 9:15–9:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 9:30–9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing indicator helps traders spot reliable trading opportunities by detecting false price movements and key levels such as Order Block and FVG. With a focus on early market movements, this tool allows traders to align with major market participants, selecting entry and exit points with greater precision, thereby reducing trading risks.
Its extensive customization options enable adjustments for various market types and trading conditions, giving traders the flexibility to optimize their strategies. Based on ICT techniques and liquidity analysis, this indicator can be highly effective for those seeking precision in their entry points.
Overall, Judas Swing empowers traders to capitalize on significant market movements by leveraging price volatility. Offering precise and dependable signals, this tool presents an excellent opportunity for enhancing trading accuracy and improving performance
5-Minute Opening Range BreakoutThe 5-minute buy and sell indicator is designed to detect potential buy ("Long") and sell ("Short") signals based on the first 5 minutes of trading activity. Here's how it works:
5-Minute Opening Range: It tracks the high and low of the first 5-minute candle after the market opens. This range establishes key support and resistance levels.
Buy Signal ("Long"): When the price breaks above this range and retests the level, a "Long" signal is triggered, indicating a potential upward trend.
Sell Signal ("Short"): Conversely, if the price breaks below the range and retests, a "Short" signal is triggered, suggesting a potential downward trend.
Retests & Confirmations: The indicator waits for pullbacks or retests of the breakout levels to confirm the validity of the buy or sell signal, minimizing false entries.
Take Profit & Stop Loss: The indicator provides reasonable stop-loss and take-profit markers to guide you in managing risk and securing profits within the day.
This strategy is especially useful for traders looking to capture early market momentum, often seen in the first 5 to 15 minutes of trading. This indicator only works on the 1M timeframe.

ka66: Bar Range BandsThis tool takes a bar's range, and reflects it above the high and below the low of that bar, drawing upper and lower bands around the bar. Repeated for each bar. There's an option to then multiply that range by some multiple. Use a value greater than 1 to get wider bands, and less than one to get narrower bands.
This tool stems out of my frustration from the use of dynamic bands (like Keltner Channels, or Bollinger Bands), in particular for estimating take profit points.
Dynamic bands work great for entries and stop loss, but their dynamism is less useful for a future event like taking profit, in my experience. We can use a smaller multiple, but then we can often lose out on a bigger chunk of gains unnecessarily.
The inspiration for this came from a friend explaining an ICT/SMC concept around estimating the magnitude of a trend, by calculating the Asian Session Range, and reflecting it above or below on to the New York and London sessions. He described this as standard deviation of the Asian Range, where the range can thus be multiplied by some multiple for a wider or narrower deviation.
This, in turn, also reminded me of the Measured Move concept in Technical Analysis. We then consider that the market is fractal in nature, and this is why patterns persist in most timeframes. Traders exist across the spectrum of timeframes. Thus, a single bar on a timeframe, is made up of multiple bars on a lower timeframe . In other words, when we reflect a bar's range above or below itself, in the event that in a lower timeframe, that bar fit a pattern whose take profit target could be estimated via a Measured Move , then the band's value becomes a more valid estimate of a take profit point .
Yet another way to think about it, by way of the fractal nature above, is that it is essentially a simplified dynamic support and resistance mechanism , even simpler than say the various Pivot calculations (e.g. Classical, Camarilla, etc.).
This tool in general, can also be used by those who manually backtest setups (and certainly can be used in an automated setting too!). It is a research tool in that regard, applicable to various setups.
One of the pitfalls of manual backtesting is that it requires more discipline to really determine an exit point, because it's easy to say "oh, I'll know more or less where to exit when I go live, I just want to see that the entry tends to work". From experience, this is a bad idea, because our mind subconsciously knows that we haven't got a trained reflex on where to exit. The setup may be decent, but without an exit point, we will never have truly embraced and internalised trading it. Again, I speak from experience!
Thus, to use this to research take profit/exit points:
Have a setup in mind, with all the entry rules.
Plot your setup's indicators, mark your signals.
Use this indicator to get an idea of where to exit after taking an entry based on your signal.

Market Oracle Plus [ChartPrime]ChartPrime Oracle Plus combines actionable, elegant and functional indicators into a single toolkit. It builds upon previously laid out creations in order to create a more advanced experience. Combinations of both trend following and contrarian logic aim to provide traders with a deeper insight into market movements; aiming to assist in better entries and exits.
Designed and created by the ChartPrime team, this toolkit takes deeper level theory and expresses it in a usable format for traders. ChartPrime Oracle Plus is designed to satisfy and cover major trading theories allowing the user to pick and select the features that fit them.
Trend signals, Prime Ranges and Quantum Reactor
When using any indicator suite it is important to understand these tools are there to assist trading rather than to be a single source of truth. Functionality such as Auto Maximization of parameters is there to guide and enhance user experience, however it is important to be aware of overfitting results.
Plus features:
ChartPrime Market Oracle Plus has introduced some unique additions in order to enhance traders’ experiences.
Custom Signals: Toolkits and signals often limit traders to a single algorithm. This reduces flexibility and adaptability in the market. Traders will often want to develop their own systems without the constraints of an existing one. Market Oracle Plus introduces a custom signals builder; taking components in the toolkit and allowing them to be combined into a single signal/alert. Want a signal when the trend changes with bullish candlestick patterns? With a few clicks this can now be enabled. Traders can also set alerts on their custom signals making automating trades easier than ever.
Custom signals labelled with a cross
The Quantum tools. Looking at the tiny in the market and making it clearer.
Quantum Bands: The quantum bands provide areas of highly likely reversals to occur by analysing market momentum and noise. They can be used classically and are comparable in application to the commonly used bollinger bands. When price finds itself inside a zone it is more likely to reverse. This is excellent when used in confluence with other reversal indicators. The reason these bands are unique is their ability to adapt to trending markets allowing not only reversals to be identified in ranging markets but also trending ones leveraging volatility calculations. They also enable the user to use MTF functionality to load bands from higher timeframes. This allows users to have a broader perspective of support and resistance levels in the market.
The quantum bands are powerful for scalpers who want faster entries and exits. Entering a trade on a bands extremity can give earlier entries and exiting on the touch of the opposing band can serve as a great take profit.
Quantum Bands bounce
Quantum Reactor: The quantum reactor is a custom weighted moving average analyzing trends in the market. Unlike another moving averages; weighting has been considered to account for ranging markets. The Reactor will turn gray in a ranging market to avoid chop allowing for filtering of trades. This offers a unique insight into price action. Classical moving averages will constantly attempt to re-adapt to a trend whereas the Reactor will avoid adaptation where it sees fit.
Filtering a ranging market
Features included & Use cases:
Signal Mode: Select the type of assistive signals you are requiring. Provided are both trend following signals with self optimization using backtest results as well as reversal signals, aiming to provide real time tops and bottoms in markets. Both these signal modes can be fine tuned using the tuning input to refine signals to a trader's liking. The ChartPrime Auto Maximizer will automatically apply a backtested parameter and display the "best performing signals" on your chart. It is important to note this is not indicative of future results. ChartPrime Trend Signals leverage audio engineering inspired techniques and low-pass filters in order to achieve and attempt to produce lower lag response times and therefore is designed to have a uniqueness when compared to more classical trend following approaches.
Candle Highlighting: Choose between a clean gradient or more classical red/green coloring. These color the candles to assist with trend identification.
ChartPrime Dashboard: This redesigned dashboard provides 4 simple to interpret metrics. Firstly, the Optimal Tuning box provides a backtested result giving you the most accurate input. Again, it is important to note this is not indicative of future results. A Prime Score is also provided. This metric is a collection of ChartPrime trend following indicators bundled into a single item. It ranges from 0 (being a very bearish trend) to 10 (being a very bullish trend). 5 would indicate a ranging market. A consolidation score is also provided showing how "ranging" the market is. 10 being a low volatility and consolidating market and 0 being a more volatile and trending market which can assist the trader in avoiding ranges (if undesired). Finally the market prophecy gives simple forecasts in text form giving outlooks on potential activity.
The unique bar based visualization makes it clearer than ever to quantify key metrics on your chart.
Additional Features:
The Dynamic Reactor provides a simple band passing through the chart. This can provide assistance in support and resistance locations as well as identifying the trend direction expressed via green and red colors. Taking a moving average and applying unique low lag adaptivity calculations gives this plot a unique and fast behavior. This gives a unique edge to standard high length moving averages.
The Prime Ranges provide VWAP inspired real time actionable ranges on your chart. These ranges provide support and resistance levels as well as coloring, once again, there to aid trend identification. By generating a distribution and projecting it we produce real time levels for traders.
Candlestick structures analyze candlestick formation putting a spin on classical candlestick patterns and provide the most relevant formations on the chart. These are not classical and are filtered by further analyzing market activity. A trader's classic with a spin.
The Prime Trend Assistant provides a trend following dynamic support and resistance level. This makes it perfect to use in confluence or as a filter for other supporting indicators. This is an adaptive trend following system designed to handle volatility leveraging filter kernels as opposed to low pass filters.
Settings:
Signal Mode: Drop down to select the types of signals wanted
Tuning: Integer input to adjust signal's responsiveness. Lower inputs result in more frequent signals being produced.
Auto Maximizer Toggle: Automatically apply a backtested parameter to the signals
Dashboard Size: Drop down to select the size of the dashboard
Dashboard Position: Change the location of the dashboard on your chart
Additional Features: A set of toggles turning on/off these indicators.
Example Usecases:
Trend based confluences:
ChartPrime Oracle Plus provides classical (all be-it self optimizing) trend based signals. When trading, taking into consideration other forms of confluences are crucial. Take the image below:
Here we see the quantum reactor being green suggesting the market was in an upwards trend. We then see a sell signal appear. Knowing that we were in a macro uptrend allows us to filter out signals that go against this. Albeit basic; understanding multi-level confluence is key.
Features such as the Prime Ranges have duplicate usecases whereby a trend can be identified via the color of the bands as well as providing TP/SL levels. Considering these assisting features is vital before entering a trade.
Contrarian trading methodologies:
Commonly; trading with a trending market is most well known. However; markets are just as susceptible to ranging behaviors. ChartPrime has designed this toolkit to cater to most market conditions. For example, finding confluence between reversal indicators such as our contrarian signals and the Quantum Band can provide for some very strong confluence that can help a trader attempt to enter at bottoms of retracements and achieve the best possible entries or exits.
Developing confluences as shown above can be key to a trader's success. It is important to avoid biases when looking at indicators and view the market as objectively as possible.
ChartPrime believes that there is no magic indicator that is able to print money. Indicator toolkits provide value via their convenience, adaptability and uniqueness. Combining these items can help a trader make more educated; less messy, more planned trades and in turn hopefully help them succeed.
