Trendlines & SR ZonesIt's a comprehensive indicator (Pine Script v6) that represents two powerful technical analysis tools: automatic trendline detection based on pivot points and volume delta analysis with support/resistance zone identification. This overlay indicator helps traders identify potential trend directions and key price levels where significant buying or selling pressure has occurred.
Features: =
1. Price Trendlines
The indicator automatically identifies and draws trendlines based on pivot points, creating dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Components:
Pivot Detection: Uses configurable left and right bars to identify significant pivot highs and lows
Trendline Filtering: Only draws downward-sloping resistance trendlines and upward-sloping support trendlines
Zone Creation: Creates filled zones around trendlines based on average price volatility
Automatic Management: Maintains only the 3 most recent significant trendlines to avoid chart clutter
Customization Options:
Left/Right Bars for Pivot: Adjust sensitivity of pivot detection (default: 10 bars each side)
Extension Length: Control how far trendlines extend past the second pivot (default: 50 bars)
Average Body Periods: Set the lookback period for volatility calculation (default: 100)
Tolerance Multiplier: Adjust the width of the trendline zones (default: 1.0)
Color Customization: Separate colors for high (resistance) and low (support) trendlines and their fills
2. Volume Delta % Bars
The indicator analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify significant supply and demand zones.
Key Components:
Volume Profile Analysis: Divides the price range into rows and calculates volume delta at each level
Delta Visualization: Displays horizontal bars showing the percentage difference between buying and selling volume
Zone Identification: Automatically identifies the most significant supply and demand zones
Visual Integration: Connects volume delta bars with corresponding support/resistance zones on the price chart
Customization Options:
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars to analyze for volume (default: 200)
Price Rows: Control the granularity of the volume analysis (default: 50 rows)
Delta Sections: Adjust the number of horizontal delta bars displayed (default: 20)
Panel Appearance: Customize width, position, and direction of the delta panel
Zone Settings: Control the number of supply/demand zones and their extension (default: 3 zones)
How It Works-
Trendline Logic:
The script continuously scans for pivot highs and lows based on the specified left and right bars
When a pivot is detected, it creates a horizontal line at that price level
The script then looks for the previous pivot of the same type (high or low)
It connects these pivots with a trendline, extending it based on the user-specified setting
A parallel line is created to form a zone, with the distance based on average price volatility
The script filters out invalid trendlines (upward-sloping resistance and downward-sloping support). Only the 3 most recent trendlines are maintained to prevent chart clutter
Volume Delta Logic:
The script divides the price range over the lookback period into the specified number of rows
For each bar in the lookback period, it categorizes volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open). This volume is assigned to the appropriate price level based on the HLC3 price.
The price levels are grouped into sections, and the net delta (bullish - bearish volume) is calculated for each Horizontal bars are drawn to represent these delta percentages.
The most significant positive and negative deltas are identified and displayed as support and resistance zones. These zones are extended to the left on the price chart and connected to the delta panel with dotted lines.
Ideal Timeframes:
The indicator is versatile and can be used across multiple timeframes, but it performs optimally on specific timeframes depending on your trading style:
For Day Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts
Why: These timeframes provide a good balance between noise reduction and sufficient volume data. The volume delta analysis is particularly effective on these timeframes as it captures intraday accumulation/distribution patterns while the trendlines remain reliable enough for intraday trading decisions.
For Swing Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Why: These timeframes offer the best combination of reliable trendline formation and meaningful volume analysis. The trendlines on these timeframes are less prone to whipsaws, while the volume delta analysis captures multi-day trading sessions and institutional activity.
For Position Trading:
Optimal Timeframes: Daily and weekly charts
Why: On these higher timeframes, trendlines become extremely reliable as they represent significant market structure points. The volume delta analysis reveals longer-term accumulation and distribution patterns that can define major support and resistance zones for weeks or months.
Timeframe-Specific Adjustments:
Lower Timeframes (1-15 minutes):
Reduce left/right bars for pivots (5-8 bars)
Decrease lookback period for volume delta (50-100 bars)
Increase tolerance multiplier (1.2-1.5) to account for higher volatility
Higher Timeframes (Daily+):
Increase left/right bars for pivots (15-20 bars)
Extend lookback period for volume delta (300-500 bars)
Consider increasing the number of price rows (70-100) for more detailed volume analysis
Usage Guidelines-
For Trendline Analysis:
Use the trendlines as dynamic support and resistance levels
Price reactions at these levels can indicate potential trend continuation or reversal points
The filled zones around trendlines represent areas of price volatility or uncertainty
Consider the slope of the trendline as an indication of trend strength
For Volume Delta Analysis:
The horizontal delta bars show where buying or selling pressure has been concentrated
Green bars indicate areas where buying volume exceeded selling volume (demand)
Red bars indicate areas where selling volume exceeded buying volume (supply)
The highlighted supply and demand zones on the price chart represent significant price levels
These zones can act as future support or resistance areas as price revisits them
Customization Tips:
Trendline Sensitivity: Decrease left/right bars values to detect more pivots (more sensitive) or increase them for fewer, more significant pivots
Zone Width: Adjust the tolerance multiplier to make trendline zones wider or narrower based on your trading style
Volume Analysis: Increase the lookback period for a longer-term volume profile or decrease it for more recent activity
Visual Clarity: Adjust colors and transparency settings to match your chart theme and preferences
Conclusion:
This indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of both trend dynamics and volume-based support/resistance levels. With these two analytical approaches, the indicator offers valuable insights for identifying potential entry and exit points, trend strength, and key price levels where significant market activity has occurred. The extensive customization options allow traders to adapt the indicator to various trading styles and timeframes, with optimal performance on 15-minute to daily charts depending on their trading horizon.

3LL+Baby & 3HH+Baby Pattern3LL+Baby & 3HH+Baby Pattern Indicator
Overview
This indicator identifies powerful reversal patterns based on momentum exhaustion and inside bar formations. It detects two specific candlestick patterns that signal potential trend reversals: the bullish 3LL+Baby and the bearish 3HH+Baby.
Pattern Descriptions
📈 3LL+Baby Pattern (Bullish Reversal)
Conditions:
Three consecutive candles form lower lows (each low is lower than the previous)
The fourth candle is bullish/green (closes higher than it opens)
The fourth candle is completely contained within the third candle's range (both high and low)
Interpretation: After a downward momentum with three lower lows, a bullish inside bar (baby candle) suggests sellers are exhausted and buyers may be taking control. This pattern often precedes upward reversals.
📉 3HH+Baby Pattern (Bearish Reversal)
Conditions:
Three consecutive candles form higher highs (each high is higher than the previous)
The fourth candle is bearish/red (closes lower than it opens)
The fourth candle is completely contained within the third candle's range (both high and low)
Interpretation: After upward momentum with three higher highs, a bearish inside bar indicates buyers are losing strength and sellers may be gaining control. This pattern often signals potential downward reversals.
Features
Visual Signals

Smart Money Alpha Signals (Performance Dashboard) Smart Money Alpha Signals: Identifying Market Leaders & Generating Alpha
GMP Alpha Signals (Global Market Performance Alpha) is a specialized analysis tool designed not merely to find stocks that are rising, but to identify "Alpha" assets—Market Leaders that defend their price or rise even under adverse conditions where the market index falls or consolidates.
This indicator visualizes the concept of Comparative Relative Strength (RS) and Smart Money accumulation patterns, helping traders capture profit opportunities even during bearish market phases.
Key Objectives (Purpose)
Alpha Capture: Identifying assets generating 'excess returns' that outperform the market Beta.
Smart Money Tracking: Detecting traces of 'institutional buying' and 'accumulation' that defend prices during index plunges.
Decoupling Identification: Spotting assets moving on independent catalysts or momentum, regardless of the broader market direction.
Stop Hunt Filtering: Distinguishing 'fake drops' where price dips temporarily, but Relative Strength remains intact.
Dashboard Guide
Interpretation of the information panel (Table) displayed on the chart.
Rel. Performance: Shows the excess return compared to the index over the set period. (Positive/Green = Stronger than the market).
Decoupling Strength: The correlation coefficient with the index. Lower values (0 or negative) indicate movement independent of market risk.
Bullish: The count/rate of rising or limiting losses when the index drops sharply (e.g., < -0.5%). (Gold = Market Crash Leader).
Defended: The count/rate of holding support levels when the index shows mild weakness (e.g., < -0.05%). (Gold = Strong Accumulation).
Bench. Defense: The defense rate of the comparison benchmark (e.g., TSLA, ETH). Your target asset must be higher to be considered the sector leader.
Input Options & Settings Guide
You can optimize settings according to your trading style and asset class (Stocks/Crypto).
(1) Main Settings
Major Index: The baseline market index for comparison.
(US Stocks: NASDAQ:NDX or TVC:SPX / Crypto: BINANCE:BTCUSDT)
Benchmark Symbol: A competitor within the sector.
(e.g., Set NVDA when analyzing Semiconductor stocks).
Correlation Lookback: The lookback period for judging decoupling. (Default: 30)
Performance Lookback: The number of bars to calculate cumulative returns and defense rates. (Default: 60)
(2) Dashboard Thresholds
These settings define the criteria for what qualifies as "Defended" or "Bullish".
Performance (Max %): Used to find assets that haven't pumped yet. Signals trigger only when Alpha is below this value.
Defended Logic:
Index Drop Condition: The index must drop by at least this amount to start checking. (e.g., -0.05%)
Asset Buffer: How much the asset must outperform the index drop.
(Example: If Index drops -1.0% and Buffer is 0.2%, the asset must be at least -0.8% to count as 'Defended').
Bullish Logic: Measures resilience during steeper market dumps (e.g., -0.5% drop) compared to the Defended Logic.
Volume Settings: Decides whether to count Defended/Bullish instances only when accompanied by volume above the SMA.
(3) Signal Logic Settings (Crucial)
Customize conditions to trigger alerts. The choice between AND / OR is crucial.
AND: Condition must be met SIMULTANEOUSLY with other active conditions (Conservative/High Certainty).
OR: Condition triggers the signal INDEPENDENTLY (Aggressive/Opportunity Capture).
Performance: Is the relative performance within the threshold? (Basic Filter).
Decoupling: Has the correlation dropped? (Start of independent move).
Bullish Rate: Is the Bullish rate high during market dumps?
Defended Rate (High): (Recommended) Is there continuous price defense occurring? (Accumulation detection).
Defended Rate (Low): (Warning) Has the defense rate broken down? (For Stop Loss).
Defended > Benchmark: Is it stronger than the Benchmark (2nd tier)?
Volume Spike: Has volume surged compared to the average? (Institutional involvement).
RSI Oversold: Is it in oversold territory? (Counter-trend trading).
Decoupling Move: Does the current bar show the "Index Down / Asset Up" pattern?
Min USD Volume: Transaction value filter (To exclude low liquidity assets).
True vs False Breakout (Vol + Body Shape) **Indicator Description: True vs. False Breakout Detector**
This indicator helps identify the quality of a breakout by analyzing price action and volume.
**★ Green Arrow: "True Breakout (Strong Candle)"**
This represents a high-confidence breakout signal.
* **Criteria:** Price Breakout + Volume Surge + Strong Candle Close (minimal to no upper wick).
* **Significance:** Indicates strong bullish momentum.
**● Grey Dot: "Weak Breakout"**
Appears when price breaks resistance but shows signs of weakness.
* **Criteria:** Breakout with low volume OR a long upper wick (rejection).
* **Meaning:** "Price made a new high, but the move is untrustworthy."
* **Action:** Do not chase the long position. Be cautious and look for potential reversals.
**▼ Red Label: "False Breakout (Reversal)"**
* **Signal:** Appears when a Weak Breakout (Grey Dot) is followed by bearish price action.
* **Action:** This indicates a confirmed False Breakout and presents a prime shorting opportunity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
★指标描述:真假突破辨别。
★绿色箭头 "真突破 (强K线)":
这是你要的完美信号。
它意味着:价格破位 + 成交量放大 + K线收盘坚决(几乎没有上影线)。
对应刚才的行情: 刚才那根1H大阳线应该会触发这个信号。
灰色圆点 "弱势突破" (新增):
如果价格突破了阻力,但是没量,或者留了长上影线(像你之前描述的那几根15分钟线),指标会标记灰色圆点。
含义: “虽然价格破了新高,但我不信任它”。这时候千万不要追多,反而要准备做空。
红色标签 "假突破 (反转)":
当灰色圆点(弱势突破)出现后,紧接着出现红色标签,就是绝佳的做空点。
Double&Triple Pattern[TS_Indie]📌 Description – Double & Triple Pattern Indicator
The Double & Triple Pattern Indicator is developed to help traders systematically and clearly identify Double Top, Double Bottom, Triple Top, and Triple Bottom chart patterns.
⚙️ Core Logic & Working Mechanism
The Double & Triple Pattern Indicator is built on the concept of price swing formation, based on the logic of Trend Entry_0 , which focuses on structured market analysis and price action behavior.
The indicator detects three main swing points (Swing 1, Swing 2, and Swing 3). A Fibonacci Box is then created using Swing A and Swing B as reference points to define the swing detection zone.
When all three swings remain inside the defined Fibonacci Box, the structure is considered a valid Price Action setup.
The indicator then plots key lines on the chart:
➩ Break Line – used to confirm the signal (confirmation)
➩ Cancel Line – used to invalidate the price action if price moves against the conditions
➛ When price breaks the Break Line , the structure is confirmed and a Pending Order is placed at Swing B , with the Stop Loss set at Swing 1.
➛ If price breaks the Cancel Line first, the price action structure is immediately invalidated.
⚙️ Fibonacci Entry Zone & Change SL Settings
➩ When Fibo Entry Zone is set to 0, the Pending Order is placed directly at Swing B.
➩ When the value is greater than 0, the Pending Order is calculated using Fibonacci levels drawn from Swing B to the Stop Loss level.
➩ Change SL allows switching the Stop Loss reference between Swing 1 and Swing A.
⚙️ Min & Max Control for Swing Size : xATR
When enabling Control Size Swing : xATR , the indicator filters Swing B based on the defined Min and Max range.
This allows traders to selectively test larger or smaller swing-based price actions , depending on their trading strategy.
⭐ Pending Order Cancellation Conditions
A Pending Order will be canceled under the following conditions:
1.A new Price Action signal appears on either the Buy or Sell side.
2.When Time Session is enabled, the Pending Order is canceled once price exits the selected session.
🕹 Order Management Rule
When there is an active open position, the indicator restricts the creation of new Pending Orders to prevent overlapping positions.

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR
```

| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable

## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 📈 TIMEFRAME SELECTION GUIDE
| Your Timeframe | What You See | Best For |
|---------------|--------------|----------|
| **1-minute** | Every tick, high noise | Scalping, precision entries |
| **5-minute** | Balanced clarity | Day trading (RECOMMENDED) |
| **15-minute** | Clean structure | Swing positions |
| **30-minute** | Too compressed | Not recommended (can't see ORB form) |
**💡 PRO TIP:**
- **Primary chart: 5-minute** (for entries and monitoring)
- **Secondary chart: 1-minute** (for precise timing)
- **Never go above 15-minute** (ORBs won't form properly)

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```

## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background

## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```

## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)

ZigZag++ UltraAlgo EditionLagging indicator used to understand trends and entry / exit points. Suggest using at 4h - 1d intervals first, then 1-2h, to identify zones of opportunities and validate your position.
Dual Pivot StructureDual Pivot Structure: Speed vs. Stability
Overview
This script is an experimental prototype designed to solve the most common frustration with Market Structure indicators: The Trade-off between Lag and Noise.
In traditional Price Action analysis, verifying a Pivot High or Low requires waiting for X number of candles to close.
High Lookback (e.g., 5 bars): Reliable structure, but the signal appears too late to trade.
Low Lookback (e.g., 1 bar): Fast signals, but prone to "fake-outs" and noise.
This indicator runs both logic systems simultaneously, allowing traders to see the "True" market structure while receiving "Early Warning" signals for potential entries.
How It Works
The script calculates two parallel layers of market data:
1. The "Structure" Layer (Slow & Reliable)
Uses a standard, higher lookback period (Default: 5 Left / 5 Right).
Purpose: Defines the macro trend. It labels confirmed Higher Highs (HH), Lower Lows (LL), etc.
Visual: Solid colored labels. These confirm the trend bias.
2. The "Signal" Layer (Fast & Actionable)
Uses a rapid, minimal lookback period (Default: 1 Left / 1 Right).
Purpose: Hunts for potential reversals within the macro trend.
Logic: If the Macro Trend is bullish, but price pulls back, this layer looks for a "Micro Pivot" that is higher than the previous Macro Low.
Visual: Orange "⚠ HL?" or "⚠ LH?" text.
How to Use This Script
This tool is best used to time entries within an established trend.
Identify the Trend: Look at the Solid Labels (Green/Red). Are we making HHs and HLs? The trend is Up.
Wait for the Pullback: Allow price to retrace.
Watch for the Early Warning: Look for the orange "⚠ HL?" text.
This appears bars before the structural pivot is confirmed.
The Signal: This is your aggressive entry trigger or alert to watch for a lower timeframe change of character.
Confirmation: If price continues in your direction, the script will eventually print a solid HL label, confirming your early entry was correct.
Settings
Structure Settings: Controls the sensitivity of the main trend (Default: 5/5). Increase this for higher timeframes to filter noise.
Signal Settings: Controls the sensitivity of the early warnings (Default: 1/1). Keep this low for maximum speed.
Visuals: Toggle the "Early Warning" labels on/off and customize colors to fit your chart theme.
Disclaimer
This script is a prototype for educational purposes. The "Early Warning" signals are, by definition, unconfirmed and carry higher risk. Always manage risk accordingly.
MenthorQ Levels ConversionLevels Conversion helps traders accurately overlay price levels from spot/index ETFs and indices (like SPX, SPY, QQQ, NDX) onto futures charts (like ES, NQ, etc.).
Because futures and spot/index prices don’t trade at the same price, your levels will be misaligned if you plot them directly. Futures typically trade at a spread or ratio versus their related index/ETF. This indicator solves that by calculating the conversion ratio automatically, so your levels stay aligned on the futures chart.
How it works
This script calculates the ratio between Asset A and Asset B and applies it to convert levels from one instrument to the other (for example, SPX → ES, QQQ → NQ).
Ratio options (3 modes)
You can choose one of three ratio sources:
✅ T1 Ratio (Morning Snapshot)
Select a specific time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 10:00 AM ET (morning session snapshot)
✅ T2 Ratio (Afternoon Snapshot)
Select a second time to “lock” the ratio.
Default: 3:30 PM ET (afternoon snapshot)
✅ Last Price Ratio (Live)
Uses the last traded price of both assets to compute the ratio.
Note: To refresh the “Last Price” baseline, simply remove and re-add the indicator.

Common levels conversions
Some popular use-cases include:
- SPX Gamma Levels → ES
- SPY Gamma Levels → ES
- QQQ Gamma Levels → NQ
- NDX Gamma Levels → NQ
- SPX Intraday Gamma Levels → ES
- QQQ Intraday Gamma Levels → NQ
- SPX Swing Trading Levels → ES
- QQQ Swing Trading Levels → NQ
- GLD Levels → GC
- DIA Levels → YM
- USO Levels → CL
- NVDA / MAG7 Levels → QQQ
Rectangle Breakout Patterns📊 Rectangle Breakout Pattern Detector (Support & Resistance)
This indicator is a dynamic tool designed to automatically identify and visualize Rectangle Continuation Patterns and Trading Ranges based on pure price action. It focuses on finding horizontal areas of long-term support and resistance where price is consolidating before an eventual breakout.
💡 What It Does
The core function of this indicator is to detect and plot the boundaries of significant consolidation areas on your chart. It follows a multi-step confirmation process:
Level Detection: It automatically identifies significant Pivot Highs and Lows.
Pattern Confirmation: It confirms Support and Resistance by counting the number of times price 'touches' a level (controlled by the Min Pivot Touches setting).
Visualization: Once confirmed, it draws a Box around the consolidation area. This box automatically extends to the right as long as the price remains contained, showing the active trading range.
This provides an objective, code-driven approach to a classic chart pattern often relied upon by technical analysts.
RRE ZonesLine Creation: Each FVG box now has a corresponding dashed line drawn through its center:
Uses a dashed style for clear visibility
Matches the FVG color (with 30% transparency)
Extends to the right like the box
Width of 1 pixel
Synchronized Cleanup: When FVG boxes are removed (either by reaching max count or being filled by price), their corresponding center lines are also deleted automatically.
The center lines help you:
Quickly identify the 50% level of each FVG
Use it as a potential target or entry level
Better visualize the gap's midpoint for trading decisions

CHOP-O-METER - Multi-Factor Choppiness DetectorA composite indicator that quantifies market choppiness using four independent measurements, helping you identify when to trade trends vs. when to sit out or fade moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
The Chop-O-Meter combines four normalized components (each scaled 0-100) into a single weighted score:
1. Price Efficiency (Kaufman-style)
Measures how efficiently price moved from point A to B. If price travels far but nets little distance, efficiency is low = high chop.
2. Direction Change Frequency
Counts how often price direction flips within the lookback period. More flips = more chop.
3. Mean Reversion Intensity
Tracks how often price crosses its moving average. Frequent crosses indicate a ranging, choppy market.
4. ATR Expansion Ratio
Compares the sum of individual bar ranges to the total period range. High ratio means lots of movement within a tight overall range = chop.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
READING THE INDICATOR
Above 65 (Red Zone): High chop — avoid trend-following, consider mean-reversion or staying flat
Below 35 (Green Zone): Trending — momentum strategies more likely to succeed
35-65 (Orange): Transitional/uncertain regime
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNALS
🔻 Green triangle (top): Chop breaking down — potential trend starting
🔺 Red triangle (bottom): Trend exhausting — chop may be returning
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
Lookback Period: Number of bars to analyze (default 20)
Component Weights: Adjust influence of each factor
Thresholds: Customize high/low chop boundaries
Show Components: Toggle individual factor plots for debugging
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
USE CASES
Filter out trend trades when chop score is high
Reduce position size in choppy regimes
Switch between mean-reversion and momentum strategies
Identify regime transitions early

EMA Market Regime & Real-Time Candle Projection System📌 EMA Market Regime & Real-Time Candle Projection System
EMA Market Regime & Parabolic Projection is a real-time market structure system designed to anticipate candle behavior before it fully forms, by dynamically projecting price levels based on trend strength, acceleration, and market expansion.
Unlike traditional indicators that react after the candle closes, this system continuously adapts to live price data to provide early insight into bullish, bearish, parabolic, and exhaustion phases.
🔍 Core Concept
The system operates on four key dimensions:
Market Structure
Uses a fast and a slow EMA to determine the dominant market regime (bullish or bearish).
Directional Momentum
Measures EMA slope to confirm directional commitment.
Acceleration & Parabolic Detection
Identifies true parabolic movements through acceleration analysis, filtering out weak or range-bound price action.
Expansion Validation
Confirms that movements are supported by genuine market expansion, reducing false signals.
By combining these elements, the indicator projects a dynamic price level in real time, effectively drawing a forward-looking guide that adapts as each candle evolves.
🧠 Real-Time Candle Projection
The projected line represents a dynamic equilibrium level derived from EMA structure and acceleration.
This allows traders to:
Anticipate continuation vs exhaustion
Visualize momentum shifts before candle close
Read potential candle direction and strength in real time
The projection is non-repainting and updates tick-by-tick during the candle’s formation.
🎯 Market Regime Classification
The system automatically classifies the market into distinct states:
Bullish Trend – Positive structure with controlled momentum
Bearish Trend – Negative structure with controlled momentum
Parabolic Expansion – Accelerated trend with strong continuation potential
Parabolic Exhaustion – Loss of acceleration signaling potential reversal or pullback
Neutral / Range – Low momentum and low expansion (no-trade zone)
Each state is visually encoded using subtle, professional coloring, ensuring price candles always remain the primary focus.

Liquidity Entry Triggers (4-Model System) | WarRoomXYZLiquidity Entry Triggers is an open-source, price-action-based analytical framework designed to highlight recurring institutional liquidity behaviors that appear across all liquid markets.
The script focuses on how and where liquidity is taken, rather than attempting to predict direction using oscillators or lagging indicators.
It is optimized for XAUUSD, FX pairs, indices, and crypto , particularly on 1m–15m timeframes where session behavior and liquidity reactions are most visible.
This tool is not a buy/sell signal generator .
It provides contextual entry zones based on structural liquidity logic, allowing traders to apply their own execution rules.
Core Philosophy
Markets move because of:
•Trapped traders
•Forced liquidations
•Session-based liquidity cycles
•Reactions at prior institutional participation zones
This script visualizes four repeatable entry triggers that emerge from those mechanisms.
🔹 1. Failed Breakout / Trapped Trader Model
When price breaks a clearly defined range high or low, breakout traders often enter expecting continuation.
If price fails to hold outside the range and closes back inside, those traders become trapped.
The script detects:
•Breaks beyond recent highs/lows
•Immediate rejection back into the range
•Structural failure of momentum
These conditions frequently lead to mean reversion or reversal moves as trapped traders exit and fuel movement in the opposite direction.
Markers are plotted at the point of failure to highlight potential trap zones.
🔹 2. Liquidation Flush Detection
Sharp impulsive candles with abnormally large wicks often represent liquidation cascades rather than healthy trend continuation.
The script identifies liquidation behavior by measuring:
•Wick-to-body imbalance
•Sudden expansion followed by rejection
•Temporary price inefficiencies
These flushes commonly occur near:
•Session highs/lows
•Range extremes
•Trend exhaustion points
Such events often lead to rebalance moves , where price partially or fully fills the wick.
🔹 3. Orderblock Reaction Zones
Orderblocks represent areas where heavy participation occurred before a strong displacement move.
The script highlights:
•Clean bullish and bearish orderblock structures
•Zones formed during consolidation prior to expansion
•Areas likely to be defended when revisited
Orderblocks with minimal noise and clean departure are prioritized, as they often reflect institutional positioning rather than retail activity.
These zones are intended as reaction areas , not automatic entry signals.
🔹 4. London Session Liquidity Sweep Model
The London session frequently establishes the initial daily high or low.
Later in the session or during New York, price often:
•Sweeps internal liquidity around that level
•Rejects after the sweep
•Continues with the higher-timeframe bias
The script monitors London session behavior and marks:
•Liquidity runs above/below London highs and lows
•Rejections back inside the prior structure
This model is especially effective when combined with broader daily context.
🔹4. How the Components Work Together
The framework is designed as a context stack , not a checklist of signals:
Liquidity Event → Location → Timing → Trader Execution
Each model reinforces the others:
•Failed breakouts often occur after liquidity sweeps
•Liquidation wicks frequently form near orderblocks
•London sweeps often trigger failed momentum moves
•Confluence increases probability, not certainty
🔹 Practical Usage Guide
✔ Identify context
Determine whether price is approaching a range extreme, session level, or prior participation zone.
✔ Wait for a liquidity event
Look for a sweep, failed breakout, or liquidation wick.
✔ Observe reaction
Rejection, displacement, or reclaim behavior provides confirmation.
✔ Execute manually
Stops are commonly placed beyond the liquidity extreme.
Targets are typically internal liquidity, prior highs/lows, or imbalance zones.
The indicator does not manage trades or enforce rules.
Execution and risk management remain the trader’s responsibility.
🔹 5. Originality & Design Notes
This script does not replicate or bundle existing indicators.
It introduces:
•A multi-model liquidity entry framework
•Structural failed breakout detection
•Wick-based liquidation imbalance logic
•Session-aware liquidity sweep visualization
•A unified, minimal, non-lagging design
All concepts are based on observable market behavior and integrated into a single analytical tool.
🔹 6. Suitable Markets & Timeframes
Works best on:
•XAUUSD
•Major FX pairs
•Indices
•Liquid crypto markets
Recommended timeframes:
•1m
•5m
•15m
•30m
🔹7. Limitations & Notes
•This is an analytical framework , not a trading system
•All markings are confirmed at candle close (non-repainting)
•No open interest or order flow data is used
•Results depend on user interpretation and execution
•Best used alongside session bias and higher-timeframe structure

INAZUMA Bollinger BandsThis is an indicator based on the widely used Bollinger Bands, enhanced with a unique feature that visually emphasizes the "strength of the breakout" when the price penetrates the bands.
Main Features and Characteristics
1. Standard Bollinger Bands Display
Center Line (Basis): Simple Moving Average (\text{SMA(20)}).
1 sigma Lines: Light green (+) and red (-) lines for reference.
2 sigma Lines (Upper/Lower Band): The main dark green (+) and red (-) bands.
2. Emphasized Breakout Zones: "INAZUMA / Flare" and "MAGMA"
The key feature is the activation of colored, expanding areas when the candlestick's High or Low breaks significantly outside the \pm 2\sigma bands.
Upper Side (Green Base / Flare):
When the High exceeds the +2\sigma line, a green gradient area expands upwards.
Indication: This visually suggests strong buying pressure or overbought conditions. The color deepens as the price moves further away, indicating higher momentum.
Lower Side (Red Base / Magma):
When the Low falls below the -2 sigma line, a red gradient area expands downwards.
Indication: This visually suggests strong selling pressure or oversold conditions. The color deepens as the price moves further away, indicating higher momentum.
Key Insight: This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the momentum and market excitement when the price moves outside the standard Bollinger Bands range. Use it as a reference for judging trend strength and potential entry/exit points.
Customizable Settings
You can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Length: The period used for calculating the Moving Average and Standard Deviation. (Default: 20)
StdDev (Standard Deviation): The multiplier for the band width (e.g., 2.0 for -2 sigma). (Default: 2.0)
Source: The price data used for calculation (Default: close).
ICT Macro Tracker - Study Version (Original by toodegrees)This indicator is a modified study version of the ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker by toodegrees, based on the original open-source script available at The original indicator plots ICT Macro windows on the chart, corresponding to specific time [ periods when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm undergoes checks/instructions (aka "macros") for the price engine to reprice to an area of liquidity or inefficiency.
This study version adds functionality to hide bars outside macro periods. When enabled, the indicator draws boxes that cover the full chart height during non-macro periods, obscuring those bars so only macro periods are visible. This helps focus on macro-only price action. The feature is configurable, allowing users to enable or disable it and customize the box color. All original functionality remains intact.
POI Zones with Imbalance- Ahmed AwadHighlights Point of Interest (POI) zones on the chart where a significant price imbalance occurs between the candle’s open and close. The indicator draws semi-transparent orange zones to mark potential buy or sell areas, helping traders spot strong price moves and key levels. Adjustable imbalance threshold and transparency for flexibility.
SMC IndicatorTitle: Smart Money Concepts Market Structure
Description: This is a technical analysis tool designed to map Market Structure using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) logic. Unlike standard ZigZag indicators that often clutter the chart with repainting lines, this script focuses on delivering a clean, objective view of Trend Structure (Highs/Lows) and Structural Breaks.
The Problem It Solves: Traders often struggle to identify the valid "Swing High" or "Swing Low" in real-time. This indicator automates that process using a non-repainting detection engine, helping traders objectively spot Trend Continuations (BoS) and Potential Reversals (CHoCH).
How It Works:
1. Pivot Detection (The ZigZag Engine): The script identifies Swing Points based on a user-defined Depth and Deviation %.
High (H): A peak is confirmed when price retraces by the deviation percentage.
Low (L): A trough is confirmed when price rallies by the deviation percentage.
Ghost Line: A dotted line connects the last confirmed pivot to the current live price, allowing you to visualize the developing structure before it locks in.
2. Structure Mapping: Once pivots are confirmed, the script analyzes price action relative to those points:
BoS (Break of Structure): Trend Continuation. Triggered when price breaks a confirmed pivot in the direction of the trend (e.g., breaking a Higher High in an uptrend).
CHoCH (Change of Character): Trend Reversal. Triggered when price breaks a major pivot in the opposite direction (e.g., breaking a Higher Low in an uptrend).
Visual Features:
Minimalist Design: Uses floating text labels (no background boxes) to keep price action visible.
Color Coded: Blue/Maroon for Continuation (BoS), Aqua/Orange for Reversal (CHoCH).
Settings Guide:
ZigZag Deviation %: Set this to 5.0 for Higher Timeframes (Daily/4H) or lower it to 0.2 - 0.5 for Intraday Scalping (1m/5m).
Ghost Line: Toggle on/off to see the real-time projection.
Alerts: Full alert support included for Bullish/Bearish BoS and CHoCH signals.
Credits: Logic based on standard Price Action and Market Structure theory.
