Auction S/D Zones (Pivot + Volume + ATR) - S9Trader
Short Summary
Plots high-probability Supply & Demand zones from confirmed pivots, validated by volume and an ATR-impulse filter. Highlights the first retest, supports optional invalidation, and includes touch alerts. Works on any symbol and timeframe.
Script Description
What it does
Detects swing highs/lows (confirmed pivots) and draws Supply (red) / Demand (green) zones.
Confirms potential institutional activity with Volume > SMA × multiplier.
Requires an impulse move at the pivot (range ≥ ATR × multiplier) to avoid weak swings.
Extends zones to the right, highlights the first touch, and can invalidate zones on clean breaks.
Provides alerts when price touches an active zone.
Principles (why it works)
Auction Market Theory: Markets rotate between balance and imbalance; sharp moves often mark “unfair” highs/lows that react on retest.
Supply/Demand Mapping: Swing highs tend to act as Supply on revisit; swing lows as Demand.
Volume Confirmation: Above-average pivot volume suggests non-retail participation.
ATR Impulse: Prioritizes pivots formed by meaningful range expansion, not noise.
How it works (logic)
Pivot detection: ta.pivothigh/low(leftBars, rightBars) confirms a swing after rightBars candles.
Zone construction: Supply = top at pivot high, bottom at max(open, close). Demand = bottom at pivot low, top at min(open, close). Optional minimum % height filter.
Filters: Volume > SMA(Volume, volLen) × volMult AND true range ≥ ATR × impATRmult.
Management: Keeps up to maxZones per side; highlights first retest; invalidates on decisive close through the far edge.
Alerts: Triggers when the current bar intersects any active zone.
Inputs (recommended starting points)
Pivot Left/Right Bars (5/5): Higher = stronger, fewer zones. Intraday: 3–6; Swing: 8–12.
Volume SMA Length (20) & High-Volume Multiplier (1.5–2.0): Higher = stricter.
ATR Length (14) & Impulse Multiplier (1.0–1.5): Higher = stricter.
Min Zone Height % (0.05–0.15%): Skip micro-zones.
Max Zones / Side (5–15): Reduce clutter & stay within object limits.
Invalidate on Break: Remove “proven wrong” zones.
Highlight First Touch: Emphasize the first interaction.
Extend Left: Optional historical context.
How to use (playbook)
Start with context: Identify the higher-timeframe trend/structure.
Prioritize first touch: Reactions are typically strongest on the first revisit.
Seek confluence: Favor zones aligned with trend or near HTF levels, VWAP/MA confluence, or round numbers.
Risk: Place stops just beyond the zone; size so a clean break is tolerable.
Targets: Mid-range, opposite side of the session’s rotation, or next HTF level; trail if momentum persists.
Alerts available
Supply Zone Touch
Demand Zone Touch
Notes & limitations
Pivots confirm only after rightBars candles; zones appear at the confirmed pivot (no instant hindsight).
Order flow/footprint is not available in Pine; bar volume is used as a proxy.
Drawing objects are limited by TradingView; keep maxZones modest on long histories.
Indicator only (not a strategy); backtesting requires a separate strategy script.
Changelog
v1.0.0 — Initial release: pivots + volume + ATR impulse, first-touch highlight, invalidation, alerts, zone caps.

Guitar Hero [theUltimator5]The Guitar Hero indicator transforms traditional oscillator signals into a visually engaging, game-like display reminiscent of the popular Guitar Hero video game. Instead of standard line plots, this indicator presents oscillator values as colored segments or blocks, making it easier to quickly identify market conditions at a glance.
Choose from 8 different technical oscillators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Stochastic %K
Stochastic %D
Williams %R
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
MFI (Money Flow Index)
TSI (True Strength Index)
Ultimate Oscillator
Visual Display Modes
1) Boxes Mode : Creates distinct rectangular boxes for each bar, providing a clean, segmented appearance. (default)
This visual display is limited by the amount of box plots that TradingView allows on each indictor, so it will only plot a limited history. If you want to view a similar visual display that has minor breaks between boxes, then use the fill mode.
2) Fill Mode : Uses filled areas between plot boundaries.
Use this mode when you want to view the plots further back in history without the strict drawing limitations.
Five-Level Color-Coded System
The indicator normalizes all oscillator values to a 0-100 scale and categorizes them into five distinct levels:
Level 1 (Red): Very Oversold (0-19)
Level 2 (Orange): Oversold (20-29)
Level 3 (Yellow): Neutral (30-70)
Level 4 (Aqua): Overbought (71-80)
Level 5 (Lime): Very Overbought (81-100)
Customization Options
Signal Parameters
Signal Length: Primary period for oscillator calculation (default: 14)
Signal Length 2: Secondary period for Stochastic %D and TSI (default: 3)
Signal Length 3: Tertiary period for TSI calculation (default: 25)
Display Controls
Show Horizontal Reference Lines: Toggle grid lines for better level identification
Show Information Table: Display current signal type, value, and normalized value
Table Position: Choose from 9 different screen positions for the info table
Display Mode: Switch between Boxes and Fills visualization
Max Bars to Display: Control how many historical bars to show (50-450 range)
Normalization Process
The indicator automatically normalizes different oscillator ranges to a consistent 0-100 scale:
Williams %R: Converts from -100/0 range to 0-100
CCI: Maps typical -300/+300 range to 0-100
TSI: Transforms -100/+100 range to 0-100
Other oscillators: Already use 0-100 scale (RSI, Stochastic, MFI, Ultimate Oscillator)
This was designed as an educational tool
The gamified approach makes learning about oscillators more engaging for new traders.
Scalping Line Strategy📌 Scalping Line Strategy – A Precision Crossover System
🔎 Overview
The Scalping Line Strategy is a short-term trading system built around the concept of momentum-driven crossovers between a smoothed moving average filter and a fast signal line. It is designed for scalpers and intraday traders who seek clear entry signals, minimal lag, and adaptive filtering to fit volatile market conditions.
At its core, the strategy uses a custom signal line ("Scalping Line"), which is derived from the difference between a double-smoothed moving average and a shorter-period signal line. Trade entries are triggered when this Scalping Line crosses above or below zero, providing a clean and rules-based framework for both long and short setups.
⚙️ Core Logic
Main Trend Filter – A double-smoothed moving average is calculated over a configurable period (default 100). This reduces noise and provides a more robust backbone for scalping signals.
Percent-Based Filter – To avoid false signals, a customizable percentage filter adjusts how closely the system “respects” price deviations from the moving average. This helps filter out insignificant fluctuations.
Signal Line – A shorter-period simple moving average (default 7) provides faster responsiveness to recent price action.
Scalping Line (SLI) – Calculated as the difference between the fast signal line and the smoothed moving average. When the SLI crosses zero, it signals a potential momentum shift.
SLI > 0 → Momentum bias is bullish.
SLI < 0 → Momentum bias is bearish.
🎯 Trade Direction & Flexibility
Trade Direction Control:
Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Both to tailor the system to your trading style.
Signal Flip Option:
By default, long entries occur when the SLI crosses below zero, and shorts when it crosses above zero. This orientation can be flipped, allowing for alternative interpretations of the signals depending on how you want to capture momentum in your market.
🕒 Time Window Filtering
For intraday traders, a time filter can be enabled to restrict signals to specific trading sessions (e.g., 9 AM – 4 PM EST). This is particularly useful when trading assets such as equities or futures that have strong intraday volatility windows.
📈 Visuals & Clarity
Scalping Line Plot: Displayed as a dynamic oscillator around a zero baseline.
Histogram Fill: Green when above zero (bullish bias), red when below zero (bearish bias).
Signal Markers: Clear arrows mark long and short entries at crossover points.
Zero Line Reference: A flat gray line at zero assists in visually gauging momentum shifts.
🚀 Strategy Execution
Long Entry: Triggered when SLI crosses below zero (or above zero if flip is enabled) within allowed session hours.
Short Entry: Triggered when SLI crosses above zero (or below zero if flip is enabled) within allowed session hours.
Built-in Signal Cancels: Pending entries are canceled if conditions are no longer valid, ensuring no stale trades remain active.
✅ Best Use Cases
Markets: Works across equities, forex, crypto, and futures with sufficient intraday volatility.
Timeframes: Most effective on 1m to 15m charts for scalping setups, but adaptable to higher frames for swing trading.
Style: Traders who appreciate simple, rules-based momentum crossovers will find this system easy to follow and highly adaptable.
⚠️ Risk Management Note
This strategy is strictly an entry signal framework. Position sizing, stop-loss, and take-profit rules must be overlaid based on your risk management style. Always validate results with backtesting and forward testing before applying to live trading accounts.
📜 Final Thoughts
The Scalping Line Strategy offers a refined, easy-to-interpret approach to intraday trading. By combining smoothed moving averages, adaptive filtering, and flexible signal options, it helps traders identify short-term momentum shifts with clarity and confidence, making it a highly configurable tool for scalping-focused strategies.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.
