Donch +This is an indicator I made for trading Forex to help me see the bigger picture. It is meant for the 30min TF and it includes the following:
- 20 Day High | Low
- 5 Day High | Low
- 4 Hour High | L
- 4 Hour Bars
- Daily Simple Moving Averages
- Weekly Trend Line (connects last week's open to this week's open)
- Daily Trend Line (connects yesterday's open to today's open)
- Horizontal Lines at 0.25% increments (these can be useful for S/R... currency rarely moves more than 1% in a day).
- A table with information about what markets are open and technicals on the pair I am looking at.
- A slight white background fill to highlight the first hour of the US session. Knowing what session you are in is very important in day trading (in my opinion). This lets me go back and see how the US has been trading.
To keep the chart from being "too busy" (it's plenty busy lol), I use a step line and focus on 30min closes. I reference the white lines above and below closes for 4hr highs/lows and don't bother with looking at the high/low of every 30 min bar.
For the table, you will see bright green by the country for the first hour of trading in that session. It will turn to a regular green after the first hour. It will turn yellow the final hour of that session. It will turn red if that market is closed.
You can select from the settings 'inputs' tab to enable/disable any parts of this you don't find useful, for the table you'd go over to the 'style' tab and unselect it there. For example, I don't use the labels regularly. If I were to get confused about what a moving average was or something, I'd enable the labels and clarify.
Currency doesn't like to break out and likes to be stable. Keeping this in mind, you can see how the 20 day high / low and the 5 day high / low act as support and resistance (unless there is a news event to break out on.
I have alerts for the following:
- Price update every hour
- Crossing a trend line
- Crossing a moving average
- Crossing a 0.25% increment
- Making a new 4 hour, 5 day, or 20 day high/low
To enable the alerts, you would click add alert, select the indicator, and click save. To work properly, you'd want to be on the 30min TF before doing this. You will get a lot of alerts (personally I like this because I like to see how currency moves throughout the day). You will get one notification per 30 minutes but not more than that for the particular alert.

AMDX-XAMDGuided by ICT tutoring and also inspired by the teaching of
Daye', I create this versatile "AMDX" indicator.
A = Accumulation
M = Manipulation
D = Distribution
X = Continuation Or Reversal
This indicator shows a different way of viewing all the Timeframes by dividing them into Quarters, in this context the Trading sessions are divided into a 90m cycle, dividing each time range into Q1-Q2-Q3-Q4, in this way you have a clear vision of what the price is likely to do
True Open Times =
Opening Week - Monday at 6pm
Opening Day - 00:00
Asia -7.30pm
London -01.30
New York -07:30
PM -1.30pm
Session Times =
Q1 Asia 18:00-00:00
Q2 London 00:00-06:00
Q3 New York 06:00-12:00
Q4 PM 12:00-18:00
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose whether to display AMDX W
- Choose whether to display AMDX D
- Choose whether to display AMDX Session
- Choose to show the text in the Box
- Choose to show open levels
The indicator should be used as ICT and 'Daye' show in their concepts.
The indicator divides everything into Quarter ranges and classifies them into Q1-Q2-Q3-Q4 (as in the example above), and each Quarter has its own specific function, and can be used in this way:
If Q1 does an expansion it is likely that Q2 will do a consolidation, Q3 will do a Manipulation and Q4 will do a reversal returning to Q1
-If we are Bullish we buy under Open Session
-If we are Bearish we buy above open session
As in the example below:
If something is not clear, comment below and I will reply as soon as possible.
AfterHours Spike DetectorThe script pulls Lower Timeframe (30min) data to draw High/Low of Out-of-hours/AfterHours session (post-market session & next day pre-market session) on the Daily regular session chart. It then identifies significant AfterHours price changes and what happens to these price Spikes by the Open of the next day regular session.
You can change:
wether to show AfterHours High/Lows
wether to show AfterHours price Spikes
the AfterHours price Spike threshold (default = +/- 10%)
World Markets Open/Close BackgroundIndicator fills background color on the chart for different markets around the world.
This can be helpful in some markets to understand after hours and premarket price action. User can study if there is correlation between highs/low in whole session or open/close of different markets.
Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai are Asian Markets in Red are combined
Bombay, London and NYSE are individually plotted.
Times can be changed for each session to include the entire session, or selected block of 15 minutes.
Less than 15 minutes will need to be changed in the default value of the code which is why I'm publishing it open source.
All coded default times for each market are in CST.
Background color can be turned off individually under the Style tab, and can also be unchecked under Inputs and can just be used for source for further coding.
My intentions for this script is to use it and its variable value to plot the highs and lows just in the specific times in a session and to more easily visualize those sessions with color coding.
I hope this is useful
Cheers!
Traders Reality Psy Levels/Daily Open GMT AwareTraders Reality Psy Levels/Daily Open GMT Aware
This indicator serves as the Tradingview equivalent of an MT4 indicator suite (Psy Levels and Daily Open)
Functionality:
In general we define Asia session to start with the Sydney exchange open.
For all intends and purposes for this indicator Asia session is defined as the open of the NZX market and close of the ASX market according to the 24 hour market clock.
The Daily Open is defined as the open of the Asia session.
The Psychological High and Low are defined as the first high and first low the Asian session starting at Saturday night and going into Sunday morning.
These are 2 key confluences that can be used in various strategies. These are in some sense similar to pivot points.
The script is GMT ( UTC ) offset aware meaning you can adjust the start of the day to any point within the allowed GMT offsets (-12 to 14)
For example if your exchange timezone is UTC+0 then the start of the Asia session starts at 2000 (UTC+0) and ends at 0400 (UTC+0) when Sydney if not in DST
You will set the offset to 4. When Sydney is in DST you will set the offset to 3
Naturally since the offset allows the entire range of GMT offsets to be used you do not need to choose the Asia market as the start of the day.
The default setting is set to 4 as of Nov 1st 2021
The GMT offset puts the calculation in the correct place regardless of exchange timezone so you do not need to adjust any settings
when working with exchanges not on UTC+0
Psy levels works only on exchanges that are open on the weekends that provide with 24x7 data.
The GMT offset puts the calculation in the correct place regardless of exchange timezone.
Features:
1) Plot the current Daily Open for timeframes between 4 hour and 1 min.
2) Plot the current weekly Psychological High and Low for timeframes between 4 hour and 1 min.
3) Configurable GMT offset, default set to Sydney open (as defined above)
4) Toggle to show historical Daily Open values (line)
5) Toggle to show historical Psychological High and Low values (line)
6) Turn labels on and off
7) Change line/label colors
Foot notes:
Use at your own risk and your own responsibility. No guarantees are provided and no responsibility is assumed by the developers of this script.

Supply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-based ExecutionSupply/Demand Zones + Engulfment-Based Execution
Strategy Overview
This strategy combines institutional trading concepts—supply/demand zones and engulfing candle patterns—to generate high-probability long and short trade setups. The system uses aggregated price action to identify potential reversal zones and confirms entries with engulfing candle patterns, ensuring trades are only taken when market structure shows commitment in the direction of the trade.
Core Concepts
• Supply & Demand Zones: These are automatically detected by analyzing aggregated bullish and bearish candle structures over user-defined intervals. Supply zones are formed after bearish continuation patterns; demand zones appear after bullish continuation patterns.
• Engulfing Entries: Once price enters a zone, the strategy waits for a bullish engulfing pattern (in a demand zone) or a bearish engulfing pattern (in a supply zone) before executing a trade. This adds confirmation and reduces false signals.
• Risk Management: Stop-loss is placed at the low (for long trades) or high (for short trades) of the engulfed candle. Take-profit can be calculated using a fixed R-multiple (risk-to-reward ratio) or a user-defined target price.
Key Features
Fully customizable aggregation factor for zone detection
Visual zone boxes, entry/SL/TP boxes, and engulfing pattern labels
Optional removal of mitigated zones for cleaner charting
Configurable trade mode (Long only, Short only, or Both)
Support for trading sessions and date filtering
Alerts for price entering supply or demand zones
How to Use
Select Aggregation Factor: Choose how many candles to group together for identifying key zones (e.g., 4x timeframe).
Enable Zones: Turn on supply and/or demand zones as needed.
Set Execution Parameters:
– Choose R-multiple (e.g., 2:1 risk-reward)
– Or use a fixed take-profit price
Define Trade Time Window:
– Set the date and time ranges to restrict execution
– Use Start Hour and End Hour to limit trades to specific sessions (e.g., London/New York)
Run on Desired Timeframe: Typically used on 15m–4H charts, depending on your strategy and the asset’s volatility.
Ideal For
• Traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
• Those who value high-confluence entries
• Intraday to swing traders looking for structure-based automation
⚠️ Important Notes
• The strategy requires engulfing confirmation within the zone to enter a position.
• This script does not repaint and executes trades on a bar close basis.
• Backtest results may vary based on session filters and aggregation factor.

LANZ Strategy 3.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 3.0 — Asian Range Fibonacci Scalping Strategy
LANZ Strategy 3.0 is a precision-engineered backtesting tool tailored for intraday traders who rely on the Asian session range to determine directional bias. This strategy implements dynamic Fibonacci projections and strict time-window validation to simulate a clean and disciplined trading environment.
🧠 Core Components:
Asian Range Bias Definition: Direction is established between 01:15–02:15 a.m. NY time based on the candle’s close in relation to the midpoint of the Asian session range (18:00–01:15 NY).
Limit Order Execution: Only one trade is placed daily, using a limit order at the Asian range high (for sells) or low (for buys), between 01:15–08:00 a.m. NY.
Fibonacci-Based TP/SL:
Original Mode: TP = 2.25x range, SL = 0.75x range.
Optimized Mode: TP = 1.95x range, SL = 0.65x range.
No Trade After 08:00 NY: If the limit order is not executed before 08:00 a.m. NY, it is canceled.
Fallback Logic at 02:15 NY: If the market direction misaligns with the setup at 02:15 a.m., the system re-evaluates and can re-issue the order.
End-of-Day Closure: All positions are closed at 15:45 NY if still open.
📊 Backtest-Ready Design:
Entries and exits are executed using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() functions.
Position size is fixed via capital risk allocation ($100 per trade by default).
Only one position can be active at a time, ensuring controlled risk.
📝 Notes:
This strategy is ideal for assets sensitive to the Asian/London session overlap, such as Forex pairs and indices.
Easily switch between Fibonacci versions using a single dropdown input.
Fully deterministic: all entries are based on pre-defined conditions and time constraints.

Strategy developed by rau_u_lanz using Pine Script v6. Built for traders who favor clean sessions, directional clarity, and consistent execution using time-based logic and Fibonacci projections.
1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout1M Scalp Setup – 2ndHi/2ndLo Breakout
This script is designed for 1-minute chart scalpers seeking high-probability intraday breakout setups based on early session price action. The strategy revolves around identifying the first high and low of the day, and then detecting the second breach (2nd high or 2nd low) to anticipate breakout entries.
🔍 Core Logic:
EMA Filter : A configurable EMA (default 8-period) is plotted for trend context.
1st High/Low Detection : Captures the very first high and low of each trading day.
2nd High/Low Markers : Identifies the second time price breaks the initial high or low, acting as a potential signal zone.
Breakout Signals :
A Buy Signal is triggered when price closes above the 2nd high.
A Sell Signal is triggered when price closes below the 2nd low.
Each signal is only triggered once per day to reduce noise and avoid overtrading.
🖌️ Visual Markers:
1stHi and 1stLo : Early session levels (red and green).
2ndHi and 2ndLo : Key breakout reference points (purple and blue).
B and S Labels : Buy and Sell triggers marked in real-time once breakouts occur.
⚙️ Inputs:
EMA Length (default: 8)
Customizable Colors for Buy/Sell signals and key markers
This tool is best used in fast-moving markets or during high-volume sessions. Combine with volume or higher-timeframe confirmation for improved accuracy.
Gold Breakout Strategy - RR 4Strategy Name: Gold Breakout Strategy - RR 4
🧠 Main Objective
This strategy aims to capitalize on breakouts from the Donchian Channel on Gold (XAU/USD) by filtering trades with:
Volume confirmation,
A custom momentum indicator (LWTI - Linear Weighted Trend Index),
And a specific trading session (8 PM to 8 AM Quebec time — GMT-5).
It takes only one trade per day, either a buy or a sell, using a fixed stop-loss at the wick of the breakout candle and a 4:1 reward-to-risk (RR) ratio.
📊 Indicators Used
Donchian Channel
Length: 96
Detects breakouts of recent highs or lows.
Volume
Simple Moving Average (SMA) over 30 bars.
A breakout is only valid if the current volume is above the SMA.
LWTI (Linear Weighted Trend Index)
Measures momentum using price differences over 25 bars, smoothed over 5.
Used to confirm trend direction:
Buy when LWTI > its smoothed version (uptrend).
Sell when LWTI < its smoothed version (downtrend).
⏰ Time Filter
The strategy only allows entries between 8 PM and 8 AM (GMT-5 / Quebec time).
A timestamp-based filter ensures the system recognizes the correct trading session even across midnight.
📌 Entry Conditions
🟢 Buy (Long)
Price breaks above the previous Donchian Channel high.
The current channel high is higher than the previous one.
Volume is above its moving average.
LWTI confirms an uptrend.
The time is within the trading session (20:00 to 08:00).
No trade has been taken yet today.
🔴 Sell (Short)
Price breaks below the previous Donchian Channel low.
The current channel low is lower than the previous one.
Volume is above its moving average.
LWTI confirms a downtrend.
The time is within the trading session.
No trade has been taken yet today.
💸 Trade Management
Stop-Loss (SL):
For long entries: placed below the wick low of the breakout candle.
For short entries: placed above the wick high of the breakout candle.
Take-Profit (TP):
Set at a fixed 4:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
Calculated as 4x the distance between the entry price and stop-loss.
No trailing stop, no break-even, no scaling in/out.
🎨 Visuals
Green triangle appears below the candle on a buy signal.
Red triangle appears above the candle on a sell signal.
Donchian Channel lines are plotted on the chart.
The strategy is designed for the 5-minute timeframe.
🔄 One Trade Per Day Rule
Once a trade is taken (buy or sell), no more trades will be executed for the rest of the day. This prevents overtrading and limits exposure.
Prev-Day High-Low Box 09:30-15:30This indicator plots a visual range box for the previous day's regular trading session, based specifically on 09:30 AM to 3:30 PM market hours (Eastern Time by default).
Features:
Automatically detects each new trading day
Draws a box from the previous day’s high to low
Box extends into the current session for a set number of bars (default: 160)
Labels mark the previous high and previous low individually
Clean and minimal — only one box and label set is drawn at a time
Works on intraday timeframes (1min, 5min, 15min, etc.)
Use it to:
Identify zones of interest from the last session
Watch for breakouts, reversals, or mean reversion setups
Combine with VWAP, moving averages, or price action for added context
This tool is handy for day traders and scalpers who want to map out the structure of prior sessions during live trading hours.
Apex Edge - MTF Confluence PanelApex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel
Description:
The Apex Edge – MTF Confluence Panel is a powerful multi-timeframe analysis tool built to streamline trade decision-making by aggregating key confluences across three user-defined timeframes. The panel visually presents the state of five core market signals—Trend, Momentum, Sweep, Structure, and Trap—alongside a unified Score column that summarizes directional bias with clarity.
Traders can customize the number of bullish/bearish conditions required to trigger a score signal, allowing the tool to be tailored for both conservative and aggressive trading styles. This script is designed for those who value a clean, structured, and objective approach to identifying market alignment—whether scalping or swing trading.
How it Works:
Across each of the three selected timeframes, the panel evaluates:
Trend: Based on a user-configurable Hull Moving Average (HMA), the script compares price relative to trend to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral bias.
Momentum: Uses OBV (On-Balance Volume) with volume spike detection to identify bursts of strong buying or selling pressure.
Sweep: Detects potential liquidity grabs by identifying price rejections beyond prior swing highs/lows. A break below a previous low with reversal signals bullish intent (and vice versa for bearish).
Structure: Uses dynamic pivot-based logic to identify market structure breaks (BOS) beyond recent confirmed swing levels.
Trap: Flags potential false moves by measuring RSI overbought/oversold signal clusters combined with minimal price movement—highlighting exhaustion or deceptive breaks.
Score: A weighted consensus of the above components. The number of required confluences to trigger a score (default: 3) can be set by the user via input, offering flexibility in signal sensitivity.
Why It’s Useful for Traders:
Quick Decision-Making: The color-coded panel provides instant visual feedback on whether confluences align across timeframes—ideal for fast-paced environments like scalping or high-volatility news sessions.
Multi-Timeframe Confidence: Helps eliminate guesswork by confirming whether higher and lower timeframe conditions support your trade idea.
Customizability: Adjustable confluence threshold means traders can fine-tune how sensitive the system is—more signals for faster entries, stricter confluence for higher conviction trades.
Built-In Alerts: Automated alerts for score alignment, trap detection, and liquidity sweeps allow traders to stay informed even when away from the screen.
Strategic Edge: Supports directional bias confirmation and trade filtering with logic designed to mimic professional decision-making workflows.
Features:
Clean, real-time confluence table across three user-selected timeframes
Configurable score sensitivity via “Minimum Confluences for Score” input
Cell-based colour coding for at-a-glance trade direction
Built-in alerts for score alignment, traps, and sweep triggers
Note - This Indicator works great in sync with Apex Edge - Session Sweep Pro
Useful levels for TP = previous session high/low boxes or fib levels.

Strategy Components
1. Core Signal Logic (High-Speed Momentum)
The strategy’s engine is a momentum-based system using fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), now tuned for faster, more frequent trades.
How It Works:
Fast/Slow EMAs: Fast EMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 7, Conservative: 9 bars) and slow EMA (12/14/18 bars) track short-term vs. longer-term momentum.
Crossover Signals:
Buy: Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, and trend_dir = 1 (fast EMA > slow EMA + ATR * strength threshold).
Sell: Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, and trend_dir = -1 (fast EMA < slow EMA - ATR * strength threshold).
Strength Filter: ma_strength = fast EMA - slow EMA must exceed an ATR-scaled threshold (Aggressive: 0.15, Balanced: 0.18, Conservative: 0.25) for robust signals.
Trend Direction: trend_dir confirms momentum, filtering out weak crossovers in choppy markets.
Evolution:
Faster EMAs (down from 7–10/21–50) catch short-term trends, perfect for active futures markets.
Lower strength thresholds (0.15–0.25 vs. 0.3–0.5) make signals more sensitive, boosting trade frequency without sacrificing quality.
Preset tuning ensures beginners get optimized settings, while pros can tweak via mode selection.
2. Market Sentiment Filters
The strategy leans hard into market sentiment with a VIX filter, SPX trend analysis, and sector breadth visuals, keeping trades aligned with the big picture.
VIX Filter:
Logic: Blocks long entries if VIX > threshold (default: 20, can_long = vix_close < vix_limit). Shorts are always allowed (can_short = true).
Impact: Prevents longs during high-fear markets (e.g., VIX spikes in crashes), while allowing shorts to capitalize on downturns.
SPX Trend Filter:
Logic: Compares S&P 500 (SPX) close to its SMA (Aggressive: 5, Balanced: 8, Conservative: 12 bars). spx_trend = 1 (UP) if close > SMA, -1 (DOWN) if < SMA, 0 (FLAT) if neutral.
Impact: Provides dashboard context, encouraging trades that align with market direction (e.g., longs in UP trend).
Sector Breadth (Visual):
Logic: Tracks 10 sector ETFs (XLK, XLF, XLE, etc.) vs. their SMAs (same lengths as SPX). Each sector scores +1 (bullish), -1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral), summed as breadth (-10 to +10).
Display: Green background if breadth > 4, red if breadth < -4, else neutral. Dashboard shows sector trends (↑/↓/-).
Impact: Faster SMA lengths make breadth more responsive, reflecting sector rotations (e.g., tech surging, energy lagging).
Why It’s Brilliant:
- VIX filter adds pro-level volatility awareness, saving beginners from panic-driven losses.
- SPX and sector breadth give a 360° view of market health, boosting signal confidence (e.g., green BG + buy signal = high-probability trade).
- Shorter SMAs make sentiment visuals react faster, perfect for 5min charts.
3. Risk Management
The risk controls are a fortress, now tighter and more dynamic to support frequent trading while keeping accounts safe.
Preset-Based Risk:
Aggressive: Fast EMAs (5/12), tight stops (1.1x ATR), 1-bar cooldown. High trade frequency, higher risk.
Balanced: EMAs (7/14), 1.2x ATR stops, 1-bar cooldown. Versatile for most traders.
Conservative: EMAs (9/18), 1.3x ATR stops, 2-bar cooldown. Safer, fewer trades.
Impact: Auto-scales risk to match style, making it foolproof for beginners.
Adaptive Stops and Take-Profits:
Logic: Stops = entry ± ATR * atr_mult (1.1–1.3x, down from 1.2–2.0x). Take-profits = entry ± ATR * take_mult (2x stop distance, 2:1 reward/risk). Longs: stop below entry, TP above; shorts: vice versa.
Impact: Tighter stops increase trade turnover while maintaining solid risk/reward, adapting to volatility.
Trade Cooldown:
Logic: Preset-driven (Aggressive/Balanced: 1 bar, Conservative: 2 bars vs. old user-input 2). Ensures bar_index - last_trade_bar >= cooldown.
Impact: Faster cooldowns (especially Aggressive/Balanced) allow more trades, balanced by VIX and strength filters.
Contract Sizing:
Logic: User sets contracts (default: 1, max: 10), no preset cap (unlike old 7/5/3 suggestion).
Impact: Flexible but risks over-leverage; beginners should stick to low contracts.
Built To Be Reliable and Consistent:
- Tighter stops and faster cooldowns make it a high-octane system without blowing up accounts.
- Preset-driven risk removes guesswork, letting newbies trade confidently.
- 2:1 TPs ensure profitable trades outweigh losses, even in volatile sessions like April 27, 2025 ES slippage.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
The entry/exit rules are simple yet razor-sharp, now with VIX filtering and faster signals:
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry: buy_signal (fast EMA crosses above slow EMA, trend_dir = 1), no position (strategy.position_size = 0), cooldown passed (can_trade), and VIX < 20 (can_long). Enters with user-defined contracts.
Short Entry: sell_signal (fast EMA crosses below slow EMA, trend_dir = -1), no position, cooldown passed, can_short (always true).
Logic: Tracks last_entry_bar for visuals, last_trade_bar for cooldowns.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: ATR-based stops (1.1–1.3x) and TPs (2x stop distance). Longs exit if price hits stop (below) or TP (above); shorts vice versa.
No Other Exits: Keeps it straightforward, relying on stops/TPs.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending clean function with informative metrics utilized by professionals, now enhanced by faster signals and a responsive breadth background:
EMA Plots:
Display: Fast EMA (blue, 2px), slow EMA (orange, 2px), using faster lengths (5–9/12–18).
Purpose: Highlights momentum shifts, with crossovers signaling entries.
Sector Breadth Background:
Display: Green (90% transparent) if breadth > 4, red (90%) if breadth < -4, else neutral.
Purpose: Faster breadth_sma_len (5–12 vs. 10–50) reflects sector shifts in real-time, reinforcing signal strength.
- Visuals are intuitive, turning complex signals into clear buy/sell cues.
- Faster breadth background reacts to market rotations (e.g., tech vs. energy), giving a pro-level edge.
6. Sector Breadth Dashboard
The new bottom-left dashboard is a game-changer, a 3x16 table (black/gray theme) that’s your market command center:
Metrics:
VIX: Current VIX (red if > 20, gray if not).
SPX: Trend as “UP” (green), “DOWN” (red), or “FLAT” (gray).
Trade Longs: “OK” (green) if VIX < 20, “BLOCK” (red) if not.
Sector Breadth: 10 sectors (Tech, Financial, etc.) with trend arrows (↑ green, ↓ red, - gray).
Placeholder Row: Empty for future metrics (e.g., ATR, breadth score).
Purpose: Consolidates regime, volatility, market trend, and sector data, making decisions a breeze.
- VIX and SPX metrics add context, helping beginners avoid bad trades (e.g., no longs if “BLOCK”).
Sector arrows show market health at a glance, like a cheat code for sentiment.
Key Features
Beginner-Ready: Preset modes and clear visuals make futures trading a breeze.
Sentiment-Driven: VIX filter, SPX trend, and sector breadth keep you in sync with the market.
High-Frequency: Faster EMAs, tighter stops, and short cooldowns boost trade volume.
Safe and Smart: Adaptive stops/TPs and cooldowns protect capital while maximizing wins.
Visual Mastery: DAFE’s clean flair, EMAs, dashboard—makes trading fun and clear.
Backtestable: Lean code and fixed qty ensure accurate historical testing.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Load on a 5min MNQ/ES chart in TradingView.
Pick Preset: Aggressive (scalping), Balanced (versatile), or Conservative (safe). Balanced is default.
Set Contracts: Default 1, max 10. Stick low for safety.
Check Dashboard: Bottom-left shows preset, VIX, SPX, and sectors. “OK” + green breadth = strong buy.
Backtest: Run in strategy tester to compare modes.
Live Trade: Connect to Tradovate or similar. Watch for slippage (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES issues).
Replay Test: Try April 28, 2025 NQ drop to see VIX filter and stops in action.
Why It’s Brilliant

Quarterly Theory ICT 04 [TradingFinder] SSMT 4Quarter Divergence🔵 Introduction
Sequential SMT Divergence is an advanced price-action-based analytical technique rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. Its primary objective is to identify early-stage divergences between correlated assets within precise time structures. This tool not only breaks down market structure but also enables traders to detect engineered liquidity traps before the market reacts.
In simple terms, SMT (Smart Money Technique) occurs when two correlated assets—such as indices (ES and NQ), currency pairs (EURUSD and GBPUSD), or commodities (Gold and Silver)—exhibit different reactions at key price levels (swing highs or lows). This lack of alignment is often a sign of smart money manipulation and signals a lack of confirmation in the ongoing trend—hinting at an imminent reversal or at least a pause in momentum.
In its Sequential form, SMT divergences are examined through a more granular temporal lens—between intraday quarters (Q1 through Q4). When SMT appears at the transition from one quarter to another (e.g., Q1 to Q2 or Q3 to Q4), the signal becomes significantly more powerful, often aligning with a critical phase in the Quarterly Theory—a framework that segments market behavior into four distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation.
For instance, a Bullish SMT forms when one asset prints a new low while its correlated counterpart fails to break the corresponding low from the previous quarter. This usually indicates absorption of selling pressure and the beginning of accumulation by smart money. Conversely, a Bearish SMT arises when one asset makes a higher high, but the second asset fails to confirm, signaling distribution or a fake-out before a decline.
However, SMT alone is not enough. To confirm a true Market Structure Break (MSB), the appearance of a Precision Swing Point (PSP) is essential—a specific candlestick formation on a lower timeframe (typically 5 to 15 minutes) that reveals the entry of institutional participants. The combination of SMT and PSP provides a more accurate entry point and better understanding of premium and discount zones.
The Sequential SMT Indicator, introduced in this article, dynamically scans charts for such divergence patterns across multiple sessions. It is applicable to various markets including Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices, and shows particularly strong performance during mid-week sessions (Wednesdays and Thursdays)—when most weekly highs and lows tend to form.

🔵 How to Use
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is designed to detect time and structure-based divergences between two correlated assets. This divergence occurs when both assets print a similar swing (high or low) in the previous quarter (e.g., Q3), but in the current quarter (e.g., Q4), only one asset manages to break that swing level—while the other fails to reach it.
This temporal mismatch is precisely identified by the SSMT indicator and often signals smart money activity, a market phase transition, or even the presence of an engineered liquidity trap. The signal becomes especially powerful when paired with a Precision Swing Point (PSP)—a confirming candle on lower timeframes (5m–15m) that typically indicates a market structure break (MSB) and the entry of smart liquidity.
🟣 Bullish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing low.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., EURUSD) breaks that low and trades below it.
The other asset (e.g., GBPUSD) fails to reach the same low, preserving the structure.
This time-based divergence reflects declining selling pressure, potential absorption, and often marks the end of a manipulation phase and the start of accumulation. If confirmed by a bullish PSP candle, it offers a strong long opportunity, with stop-losses defined just below the swing low.
🟣 Bearish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing high.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., NQ) breaks above that high.
The other asset (e.g., ES) fails to reach that high, remaining below it.
This type of divergence signals weakening bullish momentum and the likelihood of distribution or a fake-out before a price drop. When followed by a bearish PSP candle, it sets up a strong shorting opportunity with targets in the discount zone and protective stops placed above the swing high.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is a powerful and precise tool for identifying structural divergences between correlated assets within a time-based framework. Unlike traditional divergence models that rely solely on sequential pivot comparisons, SSMT leverages Quarterly Theory, in combination with concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSB) and precision swing points (PSP), to provide a deeper and more actionable view of market dynamics.
By using SSMT, traders gain not only the ability to identify where divergence occurs, but also when it matters most within the market cycle. This empowers them to anticipate major moves or traps before they fully materialize, and position themselves accordingly in high-probability trade zones.
Whether you're trading Forex, crypto, indices, or commodities, the true strength of this indicator is revealed when used in sync with the Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal phases of the market. Integrated with other confluence tools and market models, SSMT can serve as a core component in a professional, rule-based, and highly personalized trading strategy.
SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money

LUX CLARA - EMA + VWAP (No ATR Filter) - v6EMA STRAT SHOUT OUTOUTLIERSSSSS
Overview:
an intraday strategy built around two core principles:
Trend Confirmation using the 50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) in relation to the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price).
Entry Signals triggered by the 8 EMA crossing the 50 EMA in the direction of that confirmed trend.
Key Logic:
Bullish Trend if the 50 EMA is above VWAP. Only long entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA during that bullish phase.
Bearish Trend if the 50 EMA is below VWAP. Only short entries are allowed when the 8 EMA crosses below the 50 EMA during that bearish phase.
Intraday Focus: Trades are restricted to a user-defined session window (default 7:30 AM–11:30 AM), aligning entries/exits with peak intraday liquidity.
Exit Rule: Positions close automatically when the 8 EMA crosses back in the opposite direction of the entry.
Why It Works:
EMA + VWAP helps detect both immediate momentum (EMAs) and overall institutional bias (VWAP).
By confining trades to a set intraday window, the strategy aims to capture morning volatility while avoiding choppy afternoon or overnight sessions.
Customization:
Users can adjust EMA lengths, session times, or incorporate stops/targets for additional risk management.
It can be tested on various symbols and intraday timeframes to gauge performance and robustness.
ICT Bread and Butter Sell-SetupICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup – TradingView Strategy
Overview:
The ICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup is an intraday trading strategy designed to capitalize on bearish market conditions. It follows institutional order flow and exploits liquidity patterns within key trading sessions—London, New York, and Asia—to identify high-probability short entries.
Key Components of the Strategy:
🔹 London Open Setup (2:00 AM – 8:20 AM NY Time)
The London session typically sets the initial directional move of the day.
A short-term high often forms before a downward push, establishing the daily high.
🔹 New York Open Kill Zone (8:20 AM – 10:00 AM NY Time)
The New York Judas Swing (a temporary rally above London’s high) creates an opportunity for short entries.
Traders fade this move, anticipating a sell-off targeting liquidity below previous lows.
🔹 London Close Buy Setup (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time)
If price reaches a higher timeframe discount array, a retracement higher is expected.
A bullish order block or failure swing signals a possible reversal.
The risk is set just below the day’s low, targeting a 20-30% retracement of the daily range.
🔹 Asia Open Sell Setup (7:00 PM – 2:00 AM NY Time)
If institutional order flow remains bearish, a short entry is taken around the 0-GMT Open.
Expect a 15-20 pip decline as the Asian range forms.
Strategy Rules:
📉 Short Entry Conditions:
✅ New York Judas Swing occurs (price moves above London’s high before reversing).
✅ Short entry is triggered when price closes below the open.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips above the session high.
✅ Take-profit targets liquidity zones on higher timeframes.
📈 Long Entry (London Close Reversal):
✅ Price reaches a higher timeframe discount array between 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time.
✅ A bullish order block confirms the reversal.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips below the day’s low.
✅ Take-profit targets 20-30% of the daily range retracement.
📉 Asia Open Sell Entry:
✅ Price trades slightly above the 0-GMT Open.
✅ Short entry is taken at resistance, targeting a quick 15-20 pip move.
Why Use This Strategy?
🚀 Institutional Order Flow Tracking – Aligns with smart money concepts.
📊 Precise Session Timing – Uses market structure across London, New York, and Asia.
🎯 High-Probability Entries – Focuses on liquidity grabs and engineered stop hunts.
📉 Optimized Risk Management – Defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to trade with institutions, fade liquidity grabs, and capture high-probability short setups during the trading day. 📉🔥
Relative Volume at TimeThe Relative Volume at Time indicator (RVOL) is a simple modification of the original Relative Volume at Time script available in TradingView’s public library. It doesn’t change how the indicator works but includes two small adjustments:
Added Color Options – The ability to customize the colors of the volume bars, which was important to me as I use this indicator all the time and wanted more visually suitable colors.
Renamed Short Title – The abbreviation "RVOL" replaces "RelVol", as it's a more commonly used term in trading.
Aside from these small tweaks, the indicator retains all of its original functionality, including the ability to set an anchor timeframe, choose between Regular and Cumulative volume calculation modes, and adjust unconfirmed volume for incomplete bars.
This version exists simply because I needed a more personalized display for an indicator that I rely on daily.
How It Works
The Relative Volume at Time indicator compares the current volume to the average volume at the same time in previous sessions. This helps determine if today’s activity is higher or lower than usual.
Examples
On a daily chart (1D timeframe, length = 10), each volume bar compares today's volume to the average volume at the same time over the last 10 days. If today’s volume is higher than usual at this moment, the bar will reflect that.
On an hourly chart (1H timeframe, length = 5), each hourly volume bar compares the current hour’s volume to the same hour in the past 5 days. If the 10 AM bar is high, it means today's 10 AM volume is greater than the average of the past 5 sessions at 10 AM.
On a weekly chart (1W timeframe, length = 8), the indicator compares this week’s volume to the average of the last 8 weeks. A higher bar means this week is seeing significantly more volume than usual.
This logic applies to any timeframe. It always compares the current volume to past volumes at the same point in time.

2:30 [LuciTech]this is a technical analysis tool designed to highlight key price levels and patterns during a specific trading window, based on UK time (Europe/London). It overlays visual elements on the chart, including a 12 PM reference line, Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) levels, a highlighted 2:30 PM candle, and Engulfing Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). This indicator is intended for traders who focus on intraday price action and liquidity zones.
Features
The 12 PM Line displays a vertical line at 12:00 PM (UK time) to mark the start of the session. It’s customizable, allowing you to enable or disable it and adjust its color.
BSL/SSL Lines track the highest high (BSL) and lowest low (SSL) from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (UK time). These lines extend horizontally until 3:30 PM, after which they remain static at their last recorded levels. You can customize them by enabling or disabling visibility, adjusting colors, choosing a line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), and setting the width.
The 2:30 PM Candle highlights the candle at 2:30 PM (UK time) with a distinct color. It’s customizable, with options to enable or disable it and change its color.
Engulfing FVG (Fair Value Gap) identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns with a gap from the prior candle’s range. It draws a shaded box over the FVG area, and you can customize it by enabling or disabling it and adjusting the box color.
How It Works
The indicator operates within a session starting at 12:00 PM (UK time). BSL/SSL levels update between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM, with lines extending until 3:30 PM. After 3:30 PM, these lines freeze.
BSL/SSL lines show the highest price (BSL) and lowest price (SSL) reached during the 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM window. After 3:30 PM, they remain static, marking the final range boundaries.
The 2:30 PM candle emphasizes a key timestamp, often of interest to intraday traders.
Engulfing FVGs detect significant price gaps created by engulfing candles, which may indicate potential reversal or continuation zones.

Correlated asset and Daye's Quarterly TheoryThis indicator is based on the Quarterly Theory concepts from Daye. You can find him mainly on X as traderdaye.
It works on a new panel and the quarters will be drawn over the chart of the correlated that you set on its settings.
You can use every asset to compare with the main one to make easier to find divergences between days, sessions and 90 minutes cycles.
In different timeframes, the indicator could show more or less information about quarters, but will always show the compared asset one. This is due to limitations of the candles start (for example, the Session's Q2 open won't be shown on an hourly chart because it starts after 30 minutes of candle's open).
What can this indicator do for you?
- Show the correlated asset chart.
- Show daily, session and 90 minutes cycle boxes.
- Show Midnight and every session's Q2 open.
- Make easier for the trained eye to determine if the model is AMDX or XAMD, find PO3, turtle soups, SMT divergences, etc.
Do you have any suggestion? Please, leave it on the comments. I'll try to improve this indicator regularly.
