LANZ Strategy 4.0🔷 LANZ Strategy 4.0 — Trend Impulse Detection with Risk Management
LANZ Strategy 4.0 is a multi-indicator trend strategy designed for short to medium-term trading on any asset or timeframe. It combines Parabolic SAR, Supertrend, ADX, and time zone highlighting to detect and confirm trend impulses, while managing entries with dynamic Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels.
🧠 Core Components:
Parabolic SAR: Identifies short-term trend reversals.
Supertrend: Highlights trend continuation zones.
ADX Filter: Ensures trend strength by filtering entries when ADX exceeds a defined threshold.
Impulse Detection Logic: Detects and confirms movement impulses with a counter, only generating trade signals on confirmed sequences.
Risk Management: Calculates dynamic SL/TP with a default risk-reward ratio of 1:2, minimum SL of 4 pts, and maximum of 12 pts.
📊 Visual Features:
Trend lines from Supertrend and SAR.
Colored background zones for different sessions (Asia, NY).
Labels and lines for entry, SL, and TP.
Movement number labels help visualize impulse progression.
Alerts when a new impulse is confirmed.
⚙️ How It Works:
The strategy waits for a confirmed impulse (i.e., change in SAR + Supertrend + ADX filter).
Once a valid impulse is confirmed:
A trade signal (BUY/SELL) is shown.
SL and TP levels are calculated and drawn.
The script monitors live price to determine if SL or TP is hit.
Impulse counter advances to label movement progression.
🔔 Alerts:
You will receive an alert each time a new valid impulse is confirmed, indicating a potential trading opportunity.
📝 Notes:
Script is intended for discretionary or assisted trading, not automated execution.
Works best during active sessions with visible trend direction.
You can adjust ATR period, multiplier, SL padding, and impulse thresholds.

Daily separator, Open, HTF candlesScript Overview
This TradingView script is designed to enhance market structure analysis by providing a clear visual representation of key trading elements. It integrates multiple technical features that help traders assess price action, trend direction, and potential trade setups efficiently.
Main Features & Functionality
1. Daily Separator
• A vertical line is plotted to clearly mark the start of each trading day.
• Helps traders visually differentiate daily sessions, making it easier to analyze price action over different periods.
2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with EMA Continuity Table
• The script calculates an EMA of choice and displays whether the price is above or below it across five customizable timeframes.
• Use Case:
• Identifies if the price is in a retracement or a trend continuation phase.
• Helps determine trend strength—if price is consistently above the EMA across multiple timeframes, the trend is bullish; if below, it’s bearish.
• Aids in making trading decisions such as whether to go long or short.
3. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Candles
• Plots candles from a higher timeframe (HTF) onto the current chart.
• Use Case:
• Provides a macro view of price action while trading on a lower timeframe.
• Helps traders see if the price is interacting with HTF support/resistance levels.
• Useful for confirming entries/exits based on the HTF trend.
4. Opening Line
• Draws a daily opening price level, allowing traders to track price movement relative to the open.
• Use Case:
• Useful for intraday traders who analyze whether price is holding above or below the daily open.
• Helps in identifying key price behaviors, such as breakouts, fakeouts, or potential reversals.
Additional Considerations
• Customization: The script allows traders to adjust key parameters such as the EMA length, timeframes for EMA continuity, and HTF candle settings.
• Market Structure & Decision Making: By combining EMAs, HTF analysis, and the daily open, the script assists traders in determining whether price action aligns with their trade thesis.
• Potential Enhancements:
• Adding alerts for EMA crossovers or when price crosses the daily open.
• Incorporating color coding for the EMA table to improve readability.
Use Case Summary
This script is particularly beneficial for trend-following traders, intraday traders, and swing traders who want to:
1. Confirm market direction with EMA-based trend analysis.
2. Monitor HTF price action while trading on lower timeframes.
3. Track intraday price movement relative to the daily open.
4. Differentiate trading sessions for better structure analysis.
Volume EquilibriumThe intent behind this indicator is to provide comprehensive information relating to volume compared to multiple timeframes. This indicator allows one to see what the market 'theoretically' sees as 'fair-value' whilst also allowing one to gauge where the price of a stock is headed.
Volume Equilibrium
The main indicator finds the difference between buying volume and selling volume, under the basic presumption that more buying volume indicates greater bullish sentiment and vice versa.
Buying Volume = volume when close price is higher than open price.
Selling Volume = volume when close price is lower than open price.
Volume Balance = Cumulative Buying Volume − Cumulative Selling Volume
Volume Balance is then expressed as a percentage by dividing by total volume
This indicator is composed of three different lengths of the same indicator. Short, Mid, and Long term representations of Volume Equilibrium. The difference between the mid and long term are highlighted so to make it easy to see where volume is going relative to a longer time frame.
HOW TO USE:
At 0 ---> Equilibrium ---> Equal Buying/Selling Volume
Above 0 ---> More buying Volume
Below 0 ---> More selling Volume
Using theory, it is assumed that the price is at a 'fair-value' when the buying/selling volume is at 0. This is of course relative to the respective timeframe of your choosing. More weight given to larger timeframes.
Volume Histogram
It is a basic volume chart that represents the total volume though has highlighted bars so to indicate buying(green) and selling(red) volume. This allows one to see what the indicator is based off of.
Open-Close Oscillator(not needed)
Calculates the average open-close for a selected timeframe and then provides the current closing price relative to that average open-close. Very simply put, values below 0 indicate bearish and values above 0 generally indicate bullishness. This indicator is for a quick reference of price action relative to volume.
Another way to use this indicator, though unique, is to analyze the separate open-close lines themselves. Using the open-close bands, bullishness is defined as increasing closing prices and bearish as decreasing closing prices. So, in regard to this indicator, bear sessions can be indicated by the opening line being below the closing line and bull sessions as the opening line being above. Use the 'flip' of these lines to your advantage, they are very helpful at capturing long continuous sentiment.
This indicator is composed of great information though I still think it best to use many different indicators to help you with your trades.
NOTE: Be aware of what we are trying to analyze, Volume. This means that one should also look out for divergences to capture early indications of reversals. This indicator can be leveraged greatly.
Gap Detector [MS]This indicator helps traders identify and visualize price gaps in market data. When price movements create gaps between trading sessions or periods, the script highlights these areas with colored clouds and markers.
Key Features:
Automatically detects price gaps based on a customizable gap percentage threshold
Visualizes gaps using color-coded clouds (green when price moves upward, red for downward price action)
Places small triangle markers at gap locations for easy identification of gaps, and if many happen close together
Shows gray clouds when price is within the last gap
Use it For:
Watching for gap-fills
Gap support/resistance levels
Trading gap breakouts
...and more
How it Works:
The script compares each bar's opening price with the previous bar's closing price. A gap is identified when the opening price is significantly different from the previous close (beyond the user-defined gap percentage). The gap area is then marked with a colored cloud:
Green clouds: Show gaps where price jumped higher
Red clouds: Show gaps where price dropped lower
Gray clouds: Indicate price action within the gap
Settings:
Gap %: Controls the minimum price difference required to identify a gap (default 0.01 or 1%)
This indicator can help traders:
Identify potential support/resistance levels at gap areas
Monitor gap-filling scenarios
Spot significant price movements between trading sessions
The script is designed to work across all timeframes and markets.
Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points (WVPPP) Indicator! This indicator renders a volume profile using the latest pivot points, automatically adjusting itself when new pivots occur. The pivoting mode can be switched between default pivot points and order blocks mode. It can be adjusted to give more weight to recent or past candlesticks, or can be used as a normal volume profile. For more information, please read the full write-up.
Features of the new Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points (WVPPP) Indicator :
Renders Volume Profile Of The Range Between Latest Pivots
Two Pivoting Modes Including Order Blocks Mode
Adjustable Weighthing Towards Past or Recent
Customizable Row Count & Maximum Distance
Left or Right Alignment
More Styling Options
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with two key features. One is it's ability to weight volumes based on their distance to the current time. Giving weight to volumes may offer new trading opportunities to traders as they can now see the most recent Point Of Control (POC) or a more powerful but past POC based on their choice. Another key feature the indicator has is that it automatically finds latest valid pivot points, and uses that range for the volume profile. The range changes dynamically as new pivots points emerge. You can select between normal pivot points and order blocks mode. The indicator also has a variety of useful styling settings such as aligning the volume profile to the right or the left of the chart, POC Line styling and color settings for bullish & bearish volumes.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A volume profile provides an in-depth look at trading activity over a period of time by plotting a histogram on the price axis. This indicator can also give weight to volumes based on their distance to the current time, essentially determining their importance for the profile. The range which the volume profile will cover is determined by the latest pivot points. Here is how it works step-by-step :
1. Determine how much candlesticks the volume profile will cover (Analyze Bars setting)
2. Find the latest pivot points. If the mode is set to "Pivots", the pivot points are the candlesticks which has the highest / lowest wick in X amount of bars (Swing Length setting). If the mode is set to "Order Blocks", the volume profile range is the area between the latest buyside order block and the sellside order block. Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific candlestick formations on the chart. For more information about the order block detection, I suggest you checking the write-up of our "Volumized Order Blocks" script. Increasing the "Swing Length" setting is recommended when the mode is set to "Pivots", as this will help in finding stronger pivot points.
3. Make a range using the latest pivot points, then divide it into rows (Row Count setting)
4. Then for each candlestick, add it's volume to the corresponding row in the range. Note that the volume can be added into several rows if it overlaps with them all.
5. If the candlestick is a bullish candlestick, we add it's volume into the bullish volume of the row, if it's a bearish candlestick, we add it to the bearish volume of the row.
With the weighted volume mode, which is activated if "Volume Weighthing" setting is set to "Recent" or "Past", all volumes get a penalty based on their distance to the latest candletstick. For example, if the setting is set to "Recent", the latest candlestick contributes it's volume by 100% to the corresponding row, but the candlestick which is 50 candlesticks far from the current candlestick only contributes it's volume by ~17% to the row. The same applies to the "Past" setting, but in the reversed order, where past candlesticks have more priority than the current ones.
Volume contribution percent for "Recent" setting : ((100 * 0.85) / (i + 1)) + (100 * (1.0 - 0.85))
Volume contribution percent for "Past" setting : ((100 * 0.85) * ((i + 1) / N)) + (100 * (1.0 - 0.85))
Where i = candlestick index from right to left, N = total number of candlesticks analyzed by the volume profile.
The Point Of Control (POC) line is drawn from the row with the most total volume, and is generally considered as a strong level because a lot of trading volume happened on that particular row. Traders may use this line as a support & resistance level.
We believe that automatically ranging the volume profile to important pivot points will help traders see crucial volume information easier without unnecessary hassle. Traders can use this indicator to have an insight of areas which price moves quickly without much volume, or see areas that holds the price still for much longer and plan their trades accordingly.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Mode -> The pivoting mode that is switchable between "Pivots" and "Order Blocks" as described in the write-up. Please read the upper section to understand how this setting works.
Analyze Bars -> Total amount of bars that will be analyzed by the indicator from right to left.
Row Count -> The amount of rows that will the vertical range between pivot points will be divided into.
Volume Weighting -> The volume weighting mode as explained in the write-up.
2. Style
Highlight Sessions -> The volume profile sessions will be highlighted with a blue tint. To prevent confusion, highlighting will not work if the alignment is set to "Right".
Align To -> The alignment of the volume profile.
VWAP SuiteThis indicator automates the plotting of various timeframe based VWAP Values. This utilizes a different calculation method for the standard deviations bands compared to the native Tradingview AVWAP. While the Tradingview AVWAP indicator calculates the standard devation based on the VWAP variance, this indicator calculates the std dev based on the price sum variance (i.e. the variance of the hlc3, ohlc4, etc. values).
Current timeframes include:
- Daily VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
- Multi-Day VWAP that allows you to plot 2-day to 5-day VWAP
- Weekly VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
- Monthly VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
Some unique aspects of this indicator is that it allows the user to calculate VWAP for only a specific session range if you are only interested in the VWAP when specific participants are active in the market. For example, the default session range only calculates VWAP for the New York RTH session (0930-1600).
If the user wants to compare how the session range chosen varies from the VWAP calculation with ETH you can select the 'Include Extended Trading Hours' check box which will ignore the session range input variable and simply calculate what is exactly on the chart without filtering.
You can also toggle whether the VWAP values show up in the price scale, status line, or both which can limit the amount of clutter that shows up on the chart based upon the user's preferences.

Daily Gaps & Trapped PositionsThis script builds substantially upon the default Gaps script provided by Tradingview. Functionality was added to allow users to decide what price from the previous session is used to determine a daily gap, added support for showing gaps across all timeframes up to the daily time frame, and also allow gaps to be shown even with ETH enabled on the chart. This script provides support across normal securities, futures, and also crypto.
Users can decide between the following selections to determine if a daily gap has formed:
- Previous Session Close
- Previous Session High/Low
- Last RTH Candle High/Low
The other larger piece that was added is something called trapped positions or what some folks familiar with Market Profile would call "single prints". They could also be considered FVGs but they are a specific subset of FVGs as these must from above or below the current session's high/low.
Single prints form above or below a current session's high/low and can be considered an area where price has moved too fast in that area and price will most likely return to these areas at a later point in time. In some teachings, these are also looked at as "trapped shorts" (lighter blue box color) or "trapped supply" (yellow orange box color) which creates an area where there will be potential support (trapped shorts) or resistance (trapped supply) when this area is revisited in the future. Adding these to your chart will simply provide additional areas of interest where you may see buying or selling.
Both gaps and trapped positions have the following options:
- Show only active gaps/trapped positions. Selecting this will only show areas where price has not completely traded through the box.
- Close gaps/trapped positions partially. If this is selected, it will reduce the box size as price is traded through the area. If it is not selected, the box will only disappear once price has traded through the entire box completely.
There are some additional settings that allow you to tailor how many boxes show up on the chart. These settings are as follows:
- Max number of boxes. This setting will only plot up to this number of gaps/trapped positions.
- Minimum Deviation. This will prevent gaps/trapped positions from showing if they are too small relative to average across that last 14 periods.
- Limit Max Box Trail Length (bars). If checkbox is selected, the box will stop being extended after X number of bars given in this input.
Three Bar Gap (Simple Price Action - with 1 line plot)This script is tailored towards experienced traders who prefer to view raw price charts during live execution. It searches for a three-bar pattern of what is colloquially called "fair value gap", or "imbalance" and uses a single line to plot the results. The goal is to display price in a way that is as simple as possible so that chart readers who don't prefer to add indicators on their screen will still find this indicator as an acceptable option to consider for.
From a code perspective, this script explores a new PineScript feature called UDT (user-defined types). This is an incredible update because it brings developers one step close to having the ability to create abstract data types.
█ What is price action?
Experienced traders will tell you that the chart that they use for live execution is raw, clean, and uses no indicators. They say they execute on price action, so what exactly is price action?
There is no formal definition to it, but one can agree that it implies the process of analyzing price without considering the fundamentals, without needing to know what the news was about, and without needing to know any of the Greeks (except for the desire to “seek alpha” Ha.haa...). This is not to say that price action traders are executing in their own vacuums without the need to know what is happening around the world. Surely fundamentals and financial models can be used beforehand for developing a bias for what is being traded, but it’s price-first at the moment of execution. That said, Factor (A) is Price.
Factor (B) is time-perception, it’s how the trader reads the tape. How the trader perceives price to change with respect to time is valuable information. Interpretation of "time" will be elaborated in the next section that talks about candlestick patterns detected by this script.
Putting this together, price action means the analysis of price movement by only considering (A) price, and (B) time, to predict which direction the market will move. A speculative trader is timing the market with the expectation to make a quick in-and-out profit; she/she is using price action. On the other hand, a long term investor holding a diversified portfolio with a strategy based on modern portfolio theory combined with fundamental analysis (at this point candlesticks are irrelevant) but has one additional criteria of, say, can only go Long on a stock when it has closed Green on Daily; he/she is also considered to be executing on price action.
█ Candlestick patterns
This script calculates the displacement of highs and lows over three consecutive bars.
A) Down move = When High of the recent confirmed bar is lower than the Low of the previous-previous candle
B) Up move = When Low of the recent confirmed bar is higher than the High of the previous-previous candle
(Note that its the confirmed bar that is being talked about, so it does not repaint)
An ATR filter will be applied to reduce the number of lines generated as many times they might just be associated with minor price changes.
Interpretations:
When price moves quickly across three bars, it can be thought that it has gapped. Although the candle in the middle appears to be solid, it’s not from a conceptual perspective. This is because time itself is arbitrary; timeframes don’t necessarily have to be fixed intervals. Take stocks with regular trading hours for example, if price makes a breakaway gap and you bundle the after-hours and pre-market sessions together as one candle, never minding that intervals should be fixed, then you will see the exact three-bar-gap patterns. Similar happens during intraday sessions on lower timeframes, if you zoom-in closer, you’ll see that ticks within the middle candle are sparsely dispersed. This is why it's called a gap.
█ Parameters with fixed inputs & assumptions used:
ATR is used for filtering out minor movements that will likely be deemed as irrelevant by trader for the purpose of live execution. The following inputs are required:
A) ATR lookback period
B) Multiplier
The product of ATR(len=A) and B produces a threshold for minimum distance that price must gap by. Initially, it was proposed to be only based on one ATR, but often an ATR is too wide and using it will filter out too many lines. Because of this observation, a multiplier (Parameter B) has been introduced to allow users to apply fractional ATR as a threshold.
█ Applications:
For trend followers: Follow the direction of the gap. Entering above recent high/low points above/below the first impulse with a stop-limit order is a viable tactic.
For contrarians fading a trend: The mid-point is a good point of reference for predicting potential areas of support/resistance.

FULL MA Optimization ScriptHello!
This script measures the performance of 10 moving averages and compares them!
Crossover and crossunders are both tested.
The tested moving averages include: TEMA, DEMA, EMA, SMA, ALMA, HMA, T3 Average, WMA, VWMA, LSMA.
You can select the length of the moving averages and the data source (I.E, close, open, ohlc4, etc.) and the script will calculate your selections!
For instance, if you select a length of 32 and a source of ohlc4 for crossovers, the script will assign the ten moving averages that length and data source and compare the performance for ohlc4 crossovers of the 32TEMA, 32DEMA, 32SMA, 32WMA, etc. If you select crossunder, the script will calculate the performance of ohlc4 crossunders of the same moving average lengths.
Moving average performances are listed in descending order (best to worst) and are categorized by tier: Upper-Tier, Mid-Tier, Lower-Tier. The Upper-Tier displays the three best performing averages relative to the MA length and data source, for the asset on the relevant chart timeframe. The Lower-Tier displays the three worst performing averages. The Mid-Tier displays the moving averages whose performance did not achieve a top three spot or a bottom three spot.
Also calculated is the moving average which achieved the highest cumulative gain/loss and the lowest cumulative gain/loss. Any asset and timeframe can be tested; the script recalculates relative to the chart timeframe. I added a "Benchmark Moving Average" free parameter and a "Custom Moving Average" free parameter. The two operate identically; you can set the length and data source of both for quick and simple comparison between differing average lengths and sources.
If "Crossover" is selected, the "(X Candles)" displayed on the tables reflects the average number of sessions the data source remains above a moving average following a crossover. If "Crossunder" is selected, the "(X Candles)" reflects the average number of sessions the data source remains below the moving average following a crossunder.
If "Crossover" is selected, the listed "X%" reflects the average percentage gain/loss following a source crossover of a moving average up until the source crosses back under the moving average. If "Crossunder" is selected, the listed "X%" reflects the average percentage gain/loss following a source crossunder of a moving average up until the source crosses back over the moving average.
If "Crossover" is selected, the listed "X Crosses" reflects the number of instances in which the source crossed over a moving average. If "Crossunder" is selected, the listed "X Crosses" reflects the number of instances in which the source crossed under a moving average.
Additional tooltips and instructions are included should you access the user input menu.
The moving averages can be plotted as a gradient (highest priced MA to lowest priced MA) alongside the best performing moving average. The moving averages can be plotted in full color, light color alongside the best performing average, or not plotted.
This script improves upon a similar script I have released:
I decided not to update the previous script. The previous script calculates crossovers only and, due to being less code intensive, calculates much quicker. If a user is concerned only with price crossovers, not crossunders, the original script is a better option! It's faster, making it the preferable choice!
This script "FULL MA Optimization" calculates crossovers/crossunders and incorporates additional plot styles. I ran into trouble a few times where the script was too large to run on TV. This script is not "slow", I suppose; however, calculations and parameter modifications take a bit longer than the original script!

A simple market session indicator that show you what market is in session according to the timezone you configured. It will draw a table with 4 cells matching 4 market Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York. Whenever market is in session the matching text will change colour.
█ WHAT MAKE THIS DIFFERENT
All other indicator on the market are either bar colouring, background colouring, or some sort of box drawing on the chart which is very messy and cluttered your chart. This indicator is as simple as it gets. The label are positions by default at the top right corner (you can change this in the config). It doesn’t draw anything on your chart so you can get right into your price action without anything blocking you.
Also, these type of indicator on the market are not auto converting the market session time to your your configured timezone, you will have to manually entered in the market session hours in your local time. This indicator does! Or perhaps I didn’t look hard enough. Either way I think there aren’t any indicator that are this simple.
█ HOW IT WORKS
I’m using table function (available to pinescript version 4 and above) to position the market labels and change colour of them according to if the market is in session or not.
For timezone, I have predefined all the market hours in all of the timezone from GMT-12 to GMT+12. When you select your timezone it will convert it to the symbol’s exchange timezone. Feel free to update the timezone if I had it incorrectly.
This script doesn’t take into account the DST because DST doesn’t starts or ends on a fixed date.
I also put in a check for symbol type using: syminfo.type == "forex”. So that it will only display if you are on forex pairs. You don’t need to hide it while you are looking at crypto or other assets. For convenience purposes.

Net VolumeNet Volume, or NV in short, is a cumulative volume indicator similar to OBV and A/D. Though it might look similar to these two indicators (especially A/D), rest assured it's better and more accurate than both. What it basically does, is dividing the volume session into buyers and sellers volumes; then subtracts former from the latter and adds the result to previous session's net volume (In the script, these two intermediate volumes are not calculated and only the subtraction is formulated in an integrated form).
Another important difference between NV and A/D indicator, is that it brings price gaps into account. That's why it requires next session's open price to calculate current session's NV. What it actually mean is that the price gap, in either direction, is the result of the traders' efforts in respective direction in previous session, as if the current session closes where next session opens.
CME Equity Futures Price Limits
Breakers for CME's futures contracts. Should work on CST/EST/UTC charts.
CME says it uses the last 30 seconds of the session to grab a reference price, so I took the open of the last session's candle because it's easier.
Out of session breakers: +/-5%
Limit downs: -7%/-13%/-20%
There are some minor nuances for the later part of the NY session but I don't really care to add that in right now.
Options:
- Input a manual reference price to override the selected price for accuracy.
- Show only the current/last session's limits. This breaks the in session limit down lines.

It's best to check the last updated reference price to ensure it's correct.
Peterbolic SARThe Peterbolic SAR indicator is based on Peter Brandt's 3 Day Trailing Stop Rule. The yellow triangles indicate setup candles, and the green and red triangles represent trigger candles to buy and sell, respectively.
Sawcruhteez asked me to create the code for this SAR. Gabriel Harber came up with the name for the SAR. Peter Brandt gave his permission to use his name.

TRADING VIEW INDICATOR - PINE TUTORIAL 5After a long gap, I have written the 5th tutorial for the pine script. You can find the others below, if you read through all of these you should be good to do your own writing.
This script mimics the Trading View Indicator . For example this one below.
www.tradingview.com
It shows the net result of the 28 indicator, either as buy or sell. I have worked hard to make sure it matches the trading view results but I am not in hundred percent agreement with tradingView on SMA, EMA and Ichimoku indicator.
There are many commented plots because I needed to check separately if each indicator is working correctly.
Someone else wrote this code but they did not make it public. It took me about 3 weeks to write this and to be honest it could be cleaner and better commented.
If you find any mistake please let me know. I hope it will be useful in your learning.
VWAP forex Yesterday Hi/Low update fix This script is an updte fix of an earlier script that stopped functioning when TradingView updated Pine script. This script plots Forex (24 hour session) VWAP, yesterday's high, low, open and close (HLOC),
the day before's HLOC -
Also plots higher timeframe 20 emas
1 minute 5, 15, 60 period 20 ema
5 minute 15, 60 period 20 ema
15 minute 60, 120 , 240 period 20 ema
60 minute 120, 240 period 20 ema
120 minute 240, D period 20 ema
240 minute D period 20 ema
Also signals inside bars (high is less than or equal to the previous bar's high and the low is greater than or equal to the previous low) the : true inside bars have a maroon triangle below the bar as well as a ">" above the bar.
If subsequest bars are inside the last bar before the last true inside bar they also are marked with an ">"
This is probably a slight variation from the way Leaf_West plots the inside bars.
It appears that he marks all bars that are inside the original bar until one a bar has a high or low
outside the original bar. But I would need to see an example on his charts.
The Time Session Glitch and the Fix FX_IDC, COINBASE and BITSTAMP:
The script will correctly default to 1700 hrs to 1700hrs EDT/EST session for FXCM.
Strangely some securities appear to erroneously start their session at 1200 hrs ie. My guess is that they are somehow tied to GMT+0 instead of New York time (GMT+5). See this for yourself by selecting EURUSD using the FXCM exchange (FX:EURUSD) and then EURUSD from the IDC exchange (FX_IDC:EURUSD). The FX-IDC session opening range starts 5 hours before it actually should at 1700 hrs EDT/EST. To correct for this I have implemented an automatic fix (default) and a user selected "5 hour time shift adjust. ment needed on some securities".
There is also a 4 hour time shift button which might be necessary when New York reverts from Eastern Standard Time to Eastern Daylight Time (1 hour difference) in March (and then back again in November). In the default auto adjust mode you will need to select the 1 hour time shift. That is if this glitch still exists at that time.
I have looked at other scripts, other than my own and where the script is available, that need to use information about the opening bar and all have the same time shift issue
COINBASE and BITSTAMP open at 0000 hours GMT. Since I use lines instead of circles or crosses I had to make a small adjustment to plot the lines correctly.
If it needs work let me know.

Crude Roll Trade SimulatorEDIT : The screen cap was unintended with the script publication. The yellow arrow is pointing to a different indicator I wrote. The "Roll Sim" indicator is shown below that one. Yes I could do a different screen cap, but then I'd have to rewrite this and frankly I don't have time. END EDIT
If you have ever wanted to visualize the contango / backwardation pressure of a roll trade, this script will help you approximate it.
I am writing this description in haste so go with me on my rough explanations.
A "roll trade" is one involving futures that are continually rolled over into future months. Popular roll trade instruments are USO (oil futures) and UVXY (volatility futures).
Roll trades suffer hits from contango but get rewarded in periods of backwardation. Use this script to track the contango / backwardation pressure on what you are trading.
That involves identifying and providing both the underlying indexes and derivatives for both the front and back month of the roll trade. What does that mean? Well the defaults simulate (crudely) the UVXY roll trade: The folks at Proshares buy futures that expire 60 days away and then sell those 30 days later as short term futures (again, this is a crude description - see the prospectus) and we simulate that by providing the Roll Sim indicator the symbols VIX and VXV along with VIXY and VIXM. We also provide the days between the purchase and sale of the rolled futures contract (in sessions, which is 22 days by my reckoning).
The script performs ema smoothing and plots both the index lines (VIX and VXV as solid lines in our case) and the derivatives (VIXY and VIXM as dotted lines in our case) with the line graphs offset by the number of sessions between the buy and sell. The gap you see represents the contango / backwardation the derivative roll trades are experiencing and gives you an idea how much movement has to happen for that gap to widen, contract or even invert. The background gets painted red in periods of backwardation (when the longer term futures cost less than when sold as short term futures).
Fortunately indexes are calibrated to the same underlying factors, so their values relative to each other are meaningful (ie VXV of 18 and VIX of 15 are based on the same calculation on premiums for S&P500 symbols, with VXV being normally higher for time value). That means the indexes graph well without and adjustments needed. Unfortunately derivatives suffer contango / backwardation at different rates so the value of VIXY vs VIXM isn't really meaningful (VIXY may take a reverse split one year while VIXM doesn't) ... what is meaningful is their relative change in value day to day. So I have included a "front month multiplier" which can be used to get the front month line "moved up or down" on the screen so it can be compared to the back month.
As a practical matter, I have come to hide the lines for the derivatives (like VIXY and VIXM) and just focus on the gap changes between the indexes which gives me an idea of what is going on in the market and what contango/backwardation pressure is likely to exist next week.
Hope it is useful to you.
