Custom Time Range Boxes + Fibs + ExtensionThis script draws two customizable time-range boxes per day, helping traders visualize key market sessions or activity windows. Each box is defined by start and end times that can be adjusted in the settings. You can also choose a custom color and extend the visual width of the box independently from the actual session time. Within each box, the indicator plots three Fibonacci levels: 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. These levels are useful for identifying potential support, resistance, or retracement zones inside the session range. The script supports two separate time blocks, allowing you to track sessions like the New York Open and Power Hour simultaneously. All lines and boxes are drawn using bar_index for precision and control. The levels and box colors match for visual consistency. Perfect for intraday traders who want to track price behavior around key times. Clean, minimal, and performance-friendly — this tool adds clarity to your session-based strategy.
[itradesize] ICT Opening range
This indicator automatically annotates the opening ranges of the AM and PM sessions. It should be used on the 1-minute timeframe , although you can check and build a further models when using a 2-3-4 or even 5-minute timeframe. You can customize this under the settings tab.
Additionally, it includes features such as standard deviations and the initial fair value gap presented. Everything is based on what ICT said in his algorithmic timing video.
The algorithm will continue to adjust prices higher or lower until it reaches a predetermined target price. This process will occur within specific time frames: the last 10 minutes before the hour and the first 10 minutes after a new hour begins.
For the AM session opening range, this is from 9:30 to 10:00 , and for the PM session, it's from 13:30 to 14:00 . Defining these ranges allows us to identify the first presented fair value gaps there, as the algorithm is designed to leave these signatures for smart money. This process of time-based delivery precision repeats every day. You can build a whole New York model on this.
It's important to journal and backtest your results results. If the market breaks the opening range on either side and there is evident liquidity, it is highly likely that it will pursue that liquidity.
However, before doing so, the market should retrace back to the first fair value gap if it hasn’t already occurred or back to the 0.75 or 0.5 level of the range at maximum.
When does this happen? Typically, when a macro event occurs— for example, during the lunch macro from 11:30 to 12:00 . In most cases, you can expect a retracement during lunch macro. If the market retraces beyond these levels, there is a higher probability that the expected scenario will not play out.
The algorithm primarily refers to the 30-minute opening range each time. The standard deviation levels can be used to establish algorithmic delivery targets and anticipate another run after the PM session opening range has occurred. The AM session often helps determine the likely direction of movement after the PM session range concludes.
The PM macro runs from 15:15 to 15:45 . At this time, the market will typically operate within the narrative that is currently underway.
Autofib Extensions | DTDHello trader comuunity!
I'm introducing another script that is part of my main day-trading strategy. We all know regardless of what strategy we use, we need to know what levels offer the least amount of risk to our trade entry and a great tool to anticipate how far a move might go or what level a move may retrace to are the Fibonacci Retracement and Extensions. This indicator combines both together, but with a twist.
The main elements of the script are:
1. Multiple Session High and Lows | Developing my first script led me to understand that measuring key times during each session provides understanding of the market's continuity. I have provided 3 "sessions' a user can define according to CST time where the script saves the high and low of that session window to produce the retracement and extensions from those plots. Currently, the levels are always plotted from low to high (with the 0 mark being the high) and negative values provided so the levels are consistent. You can toggle each session on or off.
2. Coloring Key Retracements / Extensions | I use a dark background for my charts so the default colors help me distinguish from other another indicator I use. Feel free to adjust the colors to your preference. I consider 3 different colors because of their significance. Retracements that you want to see continue fall back into the .50 to .618 level (this I consider the "Golden Zone"). While basic Elliott Wave Theory states a wave is completed near the 1.618 level (this I consider "Major Extensions"). Everything isn't noise, but minor levels in a larger sequence.
______________
Script Limitations
All of my scripts are made with the help of ChatGPT so there are going to be limitations. One current one that I have made progress on, but not fully is when you are viewing a timeframe where the candle doesn't start when a session window starts. On smaller timeframes like the 7-minute this is not an issue. However, on the hourly, if your session window starts at the half hour which the 3rd session default window does, the lines will not produce. I will hopefully have this rectified in the near future. I will open the script since none of this work is original in nature and I would love to see how others can create a better product. Also, this is mainly a futures trading tool. If you are using this on stocks you will find it not as useful if the session window is too wide since the script waits until the session window closes to calculate the extension values.

Today, Previous Day, and Two Days Ago LevelsOverview
This indicator plots key price levels from the current trading day, the previous day, and two days ago directly on your chart. Designed for traders who rely on daily price action, it displays the high, low, and close of the previous day, as well as the high and low of two days ago, alongside the developing high and low of the current day. Each level is drawn as a horizontal line with customizable visibility and distinct colors for easy identification.
Features
Today’s Levels: Shows the current day’s high (green) and low (red) as they develop during the regular trading session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT).
Previous Day Levels: Plots the high (blue), low (light blue), and close (purple) of the most recent completed trading day, updating after 4:00 PM EDT.
Two Days Ago Levels: Displays the high (orange) and low (light orange) from two trading days prior.
Customizable Display: Toggle each level on or off via input settings to focus on the data that matters to you.
Session-Based Accuracy: Uses the regular U.S. equity session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT) to ensure levels reflect standard trading hours.
How It Works
The indicator fetches daily price data based on the regular trading session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT, Monday–Friday). After the session closes at 4:00 PM EDT, the "Previous Day" levels shift to reflect the just-completed day’s high, low, and close, while "Two Days Ago" levels update to the day before that. This makes it ideal for pre-market analysis the next morning, ensuring you’re always working with the latest completed session data.
Usage
Intraday Trading: Use on 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts to monitor key levels during the day or in pre-market.
Daily Analysis: View on daily charts to assess historical levels, with updates reflecting the latest session after 4:00 PM EDT.
Support/Resistance: Leverage these levels as potential support and resistance zones for your trading strategy.
Limitations
Timeframe Consistency: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, 30-min, 60-min). On higher timeframes (e.g. daily , weekly, monthly), the levels may not align as expected due to the daily session focus.
Securities Traded: Optimized for U.S. equities with a 9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT session (e.g., stocks like SPY, AAPL). May not work correctly for:
Futures or Forex: These markets have different session hours (e.g., 5:00 PM EDT close for some futures), which could misalign the levels.
Non-U.S. Markets: Securities with different trading hours (e.g., European or Asian exchanges) won’t match the hardcoded EDT session.
Time Zone Dependency: Assumes a UTC-4 (EDT) timezone. If your chart or TradingView settings use a different timezone (e.g., EST, UTC), the session close detection (4:00 PM EDT) may be off.
Extended Hours: Excludes pre-market and after-hours data, focusing only on regular session prices. If you need extended hours, this indicator won’t reflect those levels.

Created on November 20, 2024, with updates for accuracy as of March 27, 2025.
If you encounter issues (e.g., levels not updating correctly), check your symbol’s session hours and chart timezone match the U.S. equity standard (9:30 AM–4:00 PM EDT).
Enjoy trading with clearer daily levels!
Auto Gap DetectorThis indicator uses previous sessions open/close (whichever is closest) and the new sessions open to automatically detect both a gap up or gap down on any timeframe but is intended for use on on the daily timeframe ONLY. This is not the traditional definition of a gap but the one that i use for my strategy and has been more consistent and conservative than others.
We have also provided instructions on how to create alerts for these indicators below.
Happy Trading!
White Boxes: indicate an overnight gap up/down that is incomplete or not filled.
Green Boxes: When a gap fill is complete the white box will be changed to a green box so that it may still be used as a reference for support and resistance on following sessions.
*Color, transparency and borders of boxes can be customized in settings.
Set Up Alerts
Now, let’s make sure you get notified when a gap has occurred and when it has been filled happens:
Open the Alerts Menu
On the chart, click the bell icon (top right of the screen) to create an alert.
Configure the Auto Gap indicator
In the “Condition” dropdown, select “Auto Gap indicator".
Below that, select “Overnight Gap Detected or Overnight Gap Filled.”
*Note: if you want to detect when both a gap has been detected and when it has been filled you must create two separate alerts.
Set “Once Per Bar Close” in the next dropdown (this ensures it only triggers after the period ends, avoiding false signals mid-bar).
Choose how you want to be notified (e.g., popup, email, or phone app—set this under “Notifications”).
Configure the Auto Gap Alert
Click the bell icon again to create a second alert.

Advanced ORB IndicatorAdvanced ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator
Overview
The Advanced ORB Indicator is a sophisticated trading tool designed to capture high-probability breakout opportunities across multiple markets. By identifying the opening range of a trading session and detecting meaningful breakouts, this indicator helps traders enter trending moves with strong momentum while filtering out false signals.
Core Concept
The Opening Range Breakout strategy is based on the principle that the initial trading range of a session often defines key support and resistance levels. When price breaks convincingly beyond this range with proper confirmation, it frequently indicates the beginning of a directional move that can persist throughout the session.
Key Features
### Intelligent Market Detection
- Automatically identifies market type (US Stocks, Forex, Crypto, EU/Asia Stocks)
- Applies optimal default timings based on market characteristics
- Configurable time zones (Exchange, UTC, Local) for precise session timing
Customizable Session Settings
- Adjustable opening range duration (15-240 minutes)
- Flexible reset periods (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Never)
- Custom session start times to match specific market opens or pre-market periods
Advanced Signal Filtering
- Multi-factor confirmation system requiring strong candle bodies, proper wick ratios, and minimum breakout percentages
- Smart cooldown periods preventing clustered signals
- Retracement detection that resets signals after meaningful pullbacks
Quality Control Mechanisms
- Volume threshold filter for stronger conviction entries
- RSI-based filters to avoid overbought/oversold conditions
- Trend alignment validation using EMA and directional analysis
- Consecutive candle confirmation for higher reliability
Visual Clarity
- Clear high/low boundary visualization
- Comprehensive status panel showing current levels, trend status, and filter conditions
- Clean, non-repainting signal triangles at breakout points
Trading Applications
Stocks & ETFs
Perfect for capturing morning momentum after market open, especially effective on US equities where the first 30-60 minutes often set the tone for the day. Excellent for gap fills, trend continuations, and reversal confirmations.
Forex & Futures
Ideal for session-based strategies around London/New York opens, capturing institutional order flow as major players enter the market. Can be configured for H4/H1 longer-term breakouts in 24-hour markets.
Cryptocurrency
Powerful for identifying key breakout levels in volatile crypto markets, with adjustable parameters to filter out noise while catching significant moves. Especially effective during high-volume periods following consolidation.
Strategic Implementation
The indicator excels when used as part of a complete trading system. Consider these approaches:
1. Pure Momentum Strategy: Enter on signal, exit at fixed R:R or end of session
2. Trend Continuation: Only take signals in the direction of the higher timeframe trend
3. Support/Resistance Validation: Combine with key S/R levels for higher probability entries
4. Volume Profile Confirmation: Use in conjunction with volume profile to verify breakout significance
Optimization Tips
- Adjust Opening Range Duration based on market volatility (shorter for choppy markets, longer for trending)
- Increase filter requirements during uncertain market conditions
- Loosen filters during strong trending environments
- Use longer durations (120+ minutes) for swing trading setups
- Consider Weekly/Monthly reset periods for positional trading approaches
Performance Notes
The Advanced ORB Indicator is designed to produce fewer, higher-quality signals rather than frequent low-conviction entries. The multiple confirmation requirements mean you'll catch fewer false breakouts at the expense of occasionally later entries.
For best results, combine with proper risk management, position sizing, and an understanding of the broader market context.
*This indicator works on all timeframes but performs optimally on 1-minute to 15-minute charts for intraday trading and 1-hour to 4-hour charts for swing trading opportunities.*

X Levels [Pro+] (TradeX)Introduction:
The X-Levels Indicator is a cutting-edge trading tool to help identify key price levels around Premium / Discount Arrays (PD arrays) at Higher Timeframe Points of Interest. It aids the trader by automatically measuring dealing ranges across multiple Timeframes and highlighting the percentages within which define a Premium & Discount Range. These percentages, known as X-Levels, are where the trader seeks an entry around a relevant PD array. This approach allows a trader to optimize entry and exit points around X-Levels. Suitable for traders of all levels, X-Levels enhances analysts' trade location and framework, providing crucial insights into market movements.
What is an X-Level? A specific percentage within any given dealing range that defines a premium and discount. X Levels are defined as the following percents: 0,12,21,29.5,38,50,61.8,70.5,79,88,100. Percentages below 50% indicate a discount and above 50% indicate a premium.
Foundation: This methodology, developed by TradeX, defines a consistent way for defining dealing ranges and his key percentage levels. Built upon Inner Circle Trader (ICT)’s principles of price delivery, it recognizes that price moves between premium and discount levels, seeking liquidity and inefficiencies.
After extensive refinements, this tool now automates the identification of these dealing ranges across any Timeframe, whilst presenting the X-Levels in a clear and precise manner allowing traders to track price movements with precision and efficiency across multiple time frames.
As price moves between X-Levels, it is the trader’s role to analyze which PD Array offers the best entry opportunity around a given X-Level. The true value of this tool lies in its ability to automatically update Dealing Ranges in real Time, eliminating the need for manual measurement or adjustment. This not only saves Time but also allows analysts to focus on trading rather than manually drawing and updating dealing ranges, removing guess work from defining the correct X Levels dealing range.
When X-Levels are applied across multiple Timeframes, traders gain a comprehensive view of the current market conditions. A key principle of this approach is aligning with price at Higher Timeframe (HTF) Point of Interest. By tracking dealing ranges from HTF while operating in Lower Timeframes, analysts can maintain a granular view while keeping track of the HTF framework.
Explanation of Killzones
Killzones refer to the times when major financial markets are open and active, particularly the London and New York sessions. For example, the London Open Killzone typically runs from 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM Eastern Time, while the New York Killzone is often from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time. During these times, traders can expect more significant price movements due to higher trading volumes and the overlap of market participants.
The X-Levels indicator includes customizable killzone delineations, allowing traders to tailor this setting to their preferred trading sessions.
Key Opening Prices
Finally, the X-Levels indicator also includes Opening Price Delineations in both Horizontal and Vertical delineation. The "opening price" in trading refers to the first price at which a security is traded when the market opens. This price is significant because it can set the tone for the day's trading and is often used as a reference point for analyzing market movements. We are tracking midnight open, 8:30am and 9:30am. This is due to Midnight Theory.
Midnight Theory:
This is following the principles of Power of 3 (PO3) where if a trader is seeking a bullish expansion on a daily candle he is looking to frame entries below the midnight opening price. The principle of midnight theory comes in the form of buying at a hypothetical discount. A trade entering below midnight would be considered a discount, below midnight and 9:30am on a bullish day would be considered a deep discount.
Settings Summary:
Dealing Ranges: Traders can choose which Timeframe to track and can choose up to a maximum of 3 per chart. The styles of which are fully customizable. Solid lines, dotted lines or dashed lines are all available options for presenting each X-Level on each Dealing Range.
Dealing Range Labels: Above and below each Dealing Range extreme, analysts can find a label marking what Timeframe it originates from to differentiate between multiple Dealing Ranges. The size of this label can be hidden, and if shown its size can be customized.
Customizable Colors: Each Dealing Range Discount, Fair Value, and Premium, can be customized at the choice of the trader to suit their preferences.
Manual Dealing Range: If a trader would like to manually set their own Dealing Range, they can do so by marking the beginning of the Dealing Range view window visually through a tailored Manual Dealing Range setting.
Table Presentation: A table that can be presented in different locations on the chart, showing the percentages in relation to where price is trading in any given active Dealing Range. This is an incredibly useful tool for those wanting to see where they sit across Timeframes quickly.
Killzone Delineations: Traders can customize the Times of their preferred Killzones, whether conventional sessions, or their own preference. Their individual colors can also be customized to the trader's liking and preference.

Schwarzman Custom ORB with Box DisplayIndicator Overview
The Schwarzman Custom ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator is a fully self-developed script designed for traders who utilize opening range breakout strategies. This indicator allows users to customize their ORB settings, apply them to historical price data, and visually connect multiple ORBs to analyze past performance. The goal is to provide traders with a tool to backtest and refine their breakout strategies based on historical ORB data.
How the Indicator Works
1️⃣ User-Defined ORB Settings
• The user selects a custom start time (hour and minute) for the ORB.
• The user defines a duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) for the ORB period.
• A timezone offset is included to adjust for different market sessions.
2️⃣ ORB High and Low Calculation
• The script records the highest and lowest prices within the selected ORB time window.
• The recorded values remain static after the ORB period ends, ensuring accurate range plotting.
3️⃣ Historical ORB Visualization
• Instead of only showing a single ORB for the current session, this indicator connects multiple ORBs across past data.
• This allows traders to visually analyze previous breakout performance.
• The plotted ORBs remain fixed and do not repaint, ensuring an accurate backtesting experience.
4️⃣ Stepline Visualization & Range Filling
• The high and low ORB levels are displayed using stepline plots to maintain clear horizontal levels.
• A shaded box is applied between the ORB high and low for better visualization.
Use Cases & Strategy Application
📌 Backtesting Historical ORBs – See how past ORBs performed under different market conditions.
📌 Custom ORB Settings – Adjust the start time and duration for different trading sessions.
📌 Multi-ORB Analysis – Connect ORBs over multiple trading days to study trends and breakouts.
📌 Breakout Strategy Optimization – Use the historical ORB connections to refine entry and exit points.
This indicator is particularly useful for day traders, scalpers, and breakout traders looking for a data-driven approach to trading.
Indicator Development & Transparency Statement
As a trader, I have tested various ORB (Opening Range Breakout) indicators available in the TradingView community. Through these experiences, I aimed to develop a version that best fits my own trading needs and strategy.
This script is a self-developed ORB tool, created from scratch while drawing inspiration from the concept of opening range breakouts, which is widely used in trading. Since I initially coded in Pine Script v4, I used ChatGPT to help refine and migrate the script to Pine Script v6 to ensure compatibility with the latest TradingView features. However, the core logic, structure, and customization were entirely designed and implemented based on my own approach.
I am making this indicator public not to violate any TradingView guidelines but to share my work with the trading community and provide a tool that can help others analyze ORB-based strategies. If there are any compliance concerns, I am open to adjusting the script accordingly, but I want to clarify that this is not a copy of any existing ORB script—it is a custom-built indicator tailored to my own trading preferences.
I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the community and would welcome any specific feedback from TradingView regarding rule compliance.
Best regards,
Janko S. (Schwarzman)

HTF Hi-Lo Zones [CHE]HTF Hi-Lo Zones Indicator
The HTF Hi-Lo Zones Indicator is a Pine Script tool designed to highlight important high and low values from a selected higher timeframe. It provides traders with clear visual zones where price activity has reached significant points, helping in decision-making by identifying potential support and resistance levels. This indicator is customizable, allowing users to select the resolution type, control the visualization of session ranges, and even display detailed information about the chosen timeframe.
Key Functionalities
1. Timeframe Resolution Selection:
- The indicator offers three modes to determine the resolution:
- Automatic: Dynamically calculates the higher timeframe based on the current chart's resolution.
- Multiplier: Allows users to apply a multiplier to the current chart's timeframe.
- Manual: Enables manual input for custom resolution settings.
- Each resolution type ensures flexibility to suit different trading styles and strategies.
2. Data Fetching for High and Low Values:
- The indicator retrieves the current high and low values for the selected higher timeframe using `request.security`.
- It also calculates the lowest and highest values over a configurable lookback period, providing insights into significant price movements within the chosen timeframe.
3. Session High and Low Detection:
- The indicator detects whether the current value represents a new session high or low by comparing the highest and lowest values with the current data.
- This is crucial for identifying breakouts or significant turning points during a session.
4. Visual Representation:
- When a new session high or low is detected:
- Range Zones: A colored box marks the session's high-to-low range.
- Labels: Optional labels indicate "New High" or "New Low" for clarity.
- Users can customize colors, transparency, and whether range outlines or labels should be displayed.
5. Information Box:
- An optional dashboard displays details about the chosen timeframe resolution and current session activity.
- The box's size, position, and colors are fully customizable.

Conclusion
1. Intro
This is a rich equipped fork of my previous "Backtest any Indicator v5". And serves as the fitting backtester and trade strategy creation tool for my upcoming ANN Indicators (artificial neural network).
As the previous version this script has no trade signal generating code. The trade signals comes in by the five user settable input slots where the user plug-in external indicators. The final trade siganls go long etc are defined by a algebraic/boolean equation typed in as text in 4 terminals as shown in Image 0 . With this algebraic/boolean equations input the user can setup any trade logic as complex and fast and easy as never seen before here on TradingView.

3. Algebraic/Boolean Equation
This is where the magic happens. Unlike other backtesters that rely on drop-down menus to define trade signal equations—thus limiting the number of input signals and the complexity of logic—this script uses a string interpreter to solve equations. With this, you can develop your trade logic equations and add signals or conditions simply by writing them down in algebraic/boolean form.
The instruction set for this interpreter includes not only external input signals but also several internal values. These include BarTime, BarIndex, Open, High, Low, Close, True Range, Minimal Tick, Volume, and a signal that indicates whether there is an open trade (long, short, or none). You can also reference the values of past bars for all these inputs and, of course, use constant values in your equations. There is a sad limitation: Only one past bar value per equation is practicable. If you use more, errors can occur. It seems to be caused by the pipe line architecture of the parallel computing. In any attempt to solve this issue an older function call result was hand over.
The implemented functions cover a wide range of algebraic and boolean operations. A boolean "true" is represented by all values greater than zero, while "false" is represented by zero or values less than zero.
4. Instruction set for the Algebraic/Boolean Equation
There are functions that accept either two input values or one input value. The general form is (XandY) or (notX), where X and Y can be any input slot, predefined value, constant, or another sub-equation. Functions are always written in lowercase, while input slots and predefined values use uppercase letters.
Each sub-equation must be enclosed in parentheses, e.g., (A+B). Without proper use of parentheses, the interpreter cannot determine which function to calculate first. Negative constants must be expressed by subtracting from zero (e.g., (0-3.14)), so careful attention is required.
Here are some examples that demonstrate both incorrect and correct notations:
incorrect correct
(A+B*C) (A+(B*C))
(A+B+D+E) (A+(B+(D+E)))
(-20>A) ((0-20)>A)
(A*-B) (A*(0-B))
(AnotB) (Aand(notB))
ABS(a-b) (abs(A-B))
The correct usage ensures the interpreter calculates in the intended order.
And here comes the complete Instruction Set:
Addition: (A+B)
Subtraction: (A-B)
Multiplication: (A*B)
Division: (A/B)
Absolut value: (absA)
Power of: (A^B)
Natural Logarithm: (logA)
Lowest value of Low of last x bars: (lotx)
Highest value of High of last x bars: (hotx)
Modulo, Remainder of a Division: (A%B)
Round: (rndA)
round to ceil: (ceiA)
Round to floor: (floA)
Round to next minimal tick: (mitA)
EMA of A of last 3 bars: (e03A)
EMA of A of last 7 bars: (e07A)
EMA of A of last 10 bars: (e10A)
EMA of A of last 20 bars: (e20A)
EMA of A of last 50 bars: (e50A)
Smaller then: (AB)
Equal to: (A==B)
Unequal to: (A!=B)
And: (AandB)
Or: (AorB)
Exclusive Or: (AxorB)
Not: (notA)
Past bar value: (A ) ,whereby x can be 1,2,3,...,barIndex-1
Bar time: (T)
Bar index: (I)
Opening Price of Bar: (O)
Highest Price of Bar: (H)
Lowest Price of Bar: (L)
Closing Price of Bar: (C)
Min tick value for the current symbol: (K)
Trade Volume: (V)
True Range: (R)
Is Money invested: (M) ,Long position: M=1,
Short position: M=-1,
No position: M=0
Reminder: if you wanna replace A or B above don't forget the parentheses. So if you have (logA) and wanna replace A with D+F so the correct replacement would be (log(D+F)).
In the following there are some examples of popular bar patterns and useful filters:
Doji: ((abs(O-C))<(10*K))and((H-L)>(100*K))
green Hammer: (((H-C)<(5000*K))and(((O-L)/2)>(abs(O-C)))
Up trend: (C>(e10H))
Down trend: (C<(e10L))
cool down 7 bars: (( any buy condition )and((e07(absM))==0))
possible Pivot High: (H==(hot30))and((CC))
possible Pivot Low: (L==(lot30))and((C>H )or(O0)), goShort ((A>0)and((A )<0)), Enter Signal delay=0, Exit Signal delay=0, Alternate Trades=true
take profit 1 =0.4% (30%), take profit 2 =0.7%, trailing stop loss=0.2%, intrabar, start capital=1000$, qty=5%, fee=0.05%, no Session Filter

6. Usage
First you need to attach some signals from external Indicators. In the example above we use the Stochastic RSI indicator from TradingView. Load the Stochastic RSI indicator to the chart. Then you go to the settings menu of this script, choose in the drop-down menu of Input A the signal .
In case you wanna use a signal which is not in the drop-down menu of Input A do the following:
1) You need to know the name of the boolean (or integer) variable of your indicator which hold the desired signal. Lets say that this boolean variable is called BUY. If this BUY variable is not plotted on the chart you simply add the following code line at the end of your pine script.
For boolean (true/false) BUY variables use this:
plot(BUY ? 1:0,'Your buy condition hold in that variable BUY',display = display.data_window)
And in case your script's BUY variable is an integer or float then use instate the following code line:
plot(BUY ,'Your buy condition hold in that variable BUY',display = display.data_window)
2) Probably the name of this BUY variable in your indicator is not BUY. Simply replace in the code line above the BUY with the name of your script's trade condition variable.
3) Do the same procedure for your SELL variable. Then save your changed Indicator script.
4) Then add the changed Indicator script from step before and this backtester script to the chart ...
5) and go to the settings of it. Choose under "Settings -> Input A " your Indicator. So in the example above choose .
The form is usually: ' : BUY'. Then you see something like Image 1
6) Decide about each trade logic for Go Long and Go Short . In this Example we use for GoLong if "Stoch RSI: K" is smaller then 20. The "Stoch RSI: K" we already loaded it in input A. So we set under Go Long (A<20) and set Enter Signal Delay to 0.
Now we setup Go Short if "Stoch RSI: K" is bigger then 80. So we set under Go Short A>80. Enter Signal Delay is already set.
7) For the Exit conditions you can choose (trailing) Stop loss or Take Profit or Exit by Indicator Signal. What ever comes first triggers the exit. If you like to use an EMA Indicator for the Exit by Indicator just load it in a free input slot B, D, E, F or use the inbuild EMA. For this example we use the inbuild EMA of the last 7 values of close. It is called by the following equation: (e07C). So to exit a long trade when the close price crossunder this EMA you have to type in Exit Long ((e07C)>C). For exit a short trade enter in Exit Short ((e07C)<C).
You can choose detailed time- and session filters. You can setup two take profit levels with quantity and stop loss, trailing, initial capital, quantity per trade and set the exchange fees. You get an overall result table and even a detailed, scroll-able table with all trades.
Image 2
In the Image 2 you see the provided info tables about all Trades and the Result Summary. Further more every trade is marked by a background color, labels and levels. An opening Label with the trade direction and trade number. A closing Label again with the trade number, the trade profit in %, the trade gain in $ and the total amount of $ after all past trades. A green line for each take profit levels and an orange line for the (trail) stop loss. This summary table down left gives you an insign about how good or not so good the trade strategy is and with the trade list you can find those trade which should be avoided. Found those bad trades on the chart by the time or trade number. By seeing a big number of bad trades you may find a pattern and can formulate conditions to avoid those bad trades. Those new conditions you can easily add to the equations for enter or exit trades.
Now you have a backtest with the oppotunity to develope and envolve your trading strategy more and more. And for any iteration from general to detailed you can do it with this backtester. You can add more and more filter signals or may change the setting of your Indicator to the best results and setup the following strategy settings like Time- and Session Filter, Stop Loss, Take Profit etc. With it you find a profitable strategy and it's settings.
7. Settings Menu
In the settings menu you will find the following high-lighted sections. Most of the settings have a attention mark on their right side. Move over it with the cursor to read specific explanation.
Input Signals: This are five input slots A, B, D, E & F which you can load up with your preferred Indicators.
Algebraic Equation for the Trade Signals: Here you setup the definitions for Go Long , Go Short , Ex Long & Ex Short . As shown in Image 3 you can combine the input slots A, B, D, E, F with predefined Variables O, H, L, C, T, I, V, K, M, R or any constant value with the in-build function in the instruction set.
Image 3
Additionally, you have the option to delay entry and exit signals. This feature is particularly useful when trade signals exhibit noise and require smoothing.
You can also enable the script to perform alternating trading . In this mode, trades alternate sequentially—after a long trade, a short trade follows, and then another long trade, and so on.
Image 4
As shown in Image 4 , you can configure the script so that an "exit by signal" also acts as the next entry in the opposite trade direction. To enable this, check the option Exit = Enter Next and set the exit condition as the opposite of the entry condition. With this setting, only one occurrence of the signal is needed to trigger both the exit and the new entry, making the transition seamless.
Equation Tester: Each equation is assigned a checkmark and a color. Activate one like in Image 5 and the chart will highlight bars with a colored background where the corresponding equation result is greater than zero (interpreted as true). At the last bar, a label is displayed showing each equation’s result value. This feature allows you to build your equations and test sub-equations to ensure their results are correct.
Image 5
Backtest Results: Check mark the List of Trades to see any single trade with their stats. If there are more trades than can fit in the list, you can scroll down by decreasing the Scroll value.
Timezone Adjustment: In case you wanna use an Chart-UTC that differs from the time scale you can activate Timezone Adjustment . Then you have to setup your location UTC correctly! The Exchange UTC will be set in most cases automatically. Known Exchanges include Amsterdam, Chicago, New_York, Los_Angeles, Calcutta, Colombo, Moscow, St_Petersburg, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hongkong, Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid. Only if you have other exchanges you need to setup it by hand.
Time Filter: You can set a Start time or deactivate it by leave it unhooked. The same with End Time and Duration Days . Duration Days can also count from End time in case you deactivate Start time.
Session Filter: Here, you can choose to activate trading on a weekly basis, specifying which days of the week trading is allowed and which are excluded. Additionally, you can configure trading on a daily basis, setting the start and end times for when trades are permitted. If activated, no new trades will be initiated outside the defined times and sessions.
Long & Short: Here you can enable Longs or Shorts or both trades.
TP & SL Settings: Take Profit 1&2 set the target prices of any trade in relation to the entry price. The TP1 exit a part of the position defined by the quantity value. Stop Loss set the price to step out when a trade goes the wrong direction. You can activate also a trailing SL.
Additionally, you can specify whether trades should be executed intrabar or at the bar's closing.
Hedging: The Hedging is basic as shown in the following Image 6 and serves as a catch if price moves fast in the wrong direction.
Image 6
You can activate a hedging mechanism, which opens a trade in the opposite direction if the price moves x% against the entry price. If both the Stop Loss and Hedging are triggered within the same bar, the hedging action will always take precedence.
Invest Settings: Here, you can set the initial amount of cash to start with. The Quantity Percentage determines how much of the available cash is allocated to each trade, while the Fee Percentage specifies the trading fee applied to both opening and closing positions.
Webhooks: Here, you configure the License ID and the Comment. This is particularly useful if you plan to use multiple instances of the script, ensuring the webhooks target the correct positions. The Take Profit and Stop Loss values are displayed as prices.

This Backtester also serves as Strategy Development Tool by offering the user a fast and easy opportunity to test, enhance and manipulate the definitions for enter and exit trades. The unique feature "algebraic/boolean equation input" provides users with a significant edge over other backtest scripts. Unlike any other backtesting tool available with few drop-down menus for enter the equation, this script allows users to define an extensive range of trade equation definitions without setup of numerous specific parameters. This is reached by four terminals where the user type in the equation as text. Those equations in text-form are send intern to a context-depending touring machine that interprets the string. So with this tool, users can implement their trading ideas—even those involving complex definitions for trade entries and exits based on huge number of variables and indicators—without hiring a developer.
This script is closed-source and invite-only to support and compensate for over a year of development work. Unlike traditional backtest scripts, this one does not rely on TradingView's strategy functions. Instead, it is designed as an indicator, utilizing TradingView's "Indicator-on-Indicator" functionality.

Multi VWAPThe Multi-VWAP Indicator is a versatile tool designed to plot up to three Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) lines simultaneously, each anchored to a user-defined period. This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of price action across multiple timeframes, making it ideal for analyzing trends, support, and resistance levels.
Key Features:
Multiple Anchoring Options:
Each VWAP can be independently anchored to one of the following periods:
Session: Resets at the start of each trading day.
Week: Resets at the start of each week.
Month: Resets at the start of each month.
Quarter: Resets at the start of each quarter.
Year: Resets at the start of each year.
User Customization:
Choose the anchoring period for each VWAP line via dropdown menus.
Assign distinct colors to each VWAP for better visual differentiation.
Dynamic Price Source:
The VWAP calculation is based on the average price (hlc3) by default but can be modified by the user to use other price inputs.
Clear Visualization:
Displays three separate VWAP lines simultaneously, helping traders identify confluences or divergences in price action across timeframes.
Use Cases:
Intraday Trading: Use session-anchored VWAP to track intraday trends and mean reversion points.
Swing Trading: Combine weekly and monthly VWAPs to identify longer-term support and resistance levels.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Visualize how price interacts with VWAPs from different periods to spot key zones of interest.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to incorporate VWAP into their strategies while maintaining flexibility to adapt to various market conditions.
