Kapua Whenua LANDZZ1Kapua Whenua means Earth's Clouds in Maori language, this indicator was created to show impulses and trends of the asset's price movement both up and down.
The Indicator was made based on key numbers of the golden ratio:
Conversion Line: Kw 17 (Purple Color)
Kw 34 - Short Period Fractal (Light Blue Color)
Kw 72 - Short/Medium Period Fractal (Orange)
Kw 144 - Medium Period Fractal (Yellow Color)
Kw 305 - Medium/Long Period Fractal (Dark Blue Color)
Kw 610 - Long Period Fractal (Grey)
Kw 1292 - Long Period Fractal+ (Black Color)
The baseline or also called the conversion line is identified by the Color Purple of value 17.
How to read the indicator:
Every time the conversion line (Purple Color 17 periods) crosses a Kw value (Kapua Whenua) it will always look for the next KW line above or below the value as support or resistance.
For example:
If we are in a bull market, and the price crosses below the KW17 conversion line it will go towards KW 34 as support, if the price breaks KW 34 it will go towards the next line below KW 34 as support.
Every time the conversion line or the price crosses a higher value of Kapua Whenua (KW) this trend will be stronger, it means, if the conversion line (KW 17) crosses above KW 305 it will indicate more strength than if it had crossed above the KW 72 or 144 for example. So to get better results trading with the trend, always observe if the conversion line and the price are below or above some Medium/Long Period KW.
Note also that, in an uptrend, it could be that all KW are below each other. In a downtrend, it could be that all KW are on top of each other. This indicates that the farther the price is from the fractals the stronger the trend is, also, when there is a narrowing of the fractals means that the price will start to go sideways. If the price is between 2 or more Fractals, it will indicate consolidation.
A really good trend is considered when the price or the Short/Medium Period Fractals are all above or below at KW 610, which is a long period fractal, meaning a strong uptrend or downtrend.
A larger KW can be at the same point as a smaller KW, however, the stronger color will be shown above the weaker one.
***Larger chart timeframes are better to see longer KW fractals that are above or below the price, if your chart timeframe doesn't show a bigger support or resistance fractal, change the chart time to another longer period**
Tip - Get used to looking at line colors as your indicators, just like moving averages. You can also take or place any fractal at any time in the configuration menu.

[DS]Entry_Exit_TRADE.V01-StrategyThe proposal of this script is to show the possible trading points of BUY and SELL based on the 15-minute chart of the Nasdaq Future Index. The start point of the strategy was schedule for 2021/01/01 and until the time of this publication (2021/01/31), for 1 index contract the results presented area a Gross Profit of 2.97% with a Net Profit of 1.35%.
█ FEATURES
The indicator shows on the graph the position of the MACD and TSI indicators that are the places of strength among Buyers and Sellers.
It's possible to observe a sharp fall or rise in the price of these positions.
On the current candle, a label is displayed containing the value of the William %R Mod indicator, which will display the OverBought position (dark red) and OverSold position (dark green). The other colors like light red and green are the regions where the price makes the decision of which direction to go.
There are also other indicators:
a) The positions of the BUY (light green) and SELL areas (light red);
b) The label with the position of BUY (dark green) and SELL (dark red) with the line that connects these points;
c) DEMA 72 (orange);
d) EmaOchl4 in the color green for BULL and red for BEAR market;
e) Pivots high and low
f) Maximum (purple light) and minimum areas (blue light)
█ FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
The indicator uses the following functions:
(1) DEMA - Double Exponential Moving Average (08,17,34, 72)
(2) ema () - Exponential Moving Averge (72, ohlc4)
(3) plot()
(4) barcolor()
(5) cross()
(6) pivots ()
(7) William R% Md (OverBought = -7, OverSold=-93)
(8) Maximum and Minimum Value
(9) fill()
(10) macd () - Moving Average Convergence Divergence (Fast Lengt=12, Slow Length=26, Source=close, Signal Smoothing=9)
(11) tsi() - Trading Strenght Indicator==> Índice de Força Real ( IFR ) (Long Length=72, Short Length=17, Signal Length=17)
(12) Buy and Sell TRADE Points
█ PERFORMANCE AND ERRORS
The positions of BUY and SELL points are defined through the crossing of the Dema 34 candles with the Ema Ohcl4. As it is an indicator, it can present different positions from de market direction. Thus there is a need to observe the direction of the market in order to verify whether the indicate decision is really acceptable. The decision to BUY or SELL an asset must be well studied to avoid financial losses. The indicator will only help you in this decision, is your responsibility the decision of entering or leaving an asset.

Moving Average Slope Angle Formula:
Reproduced and modified from source:
Relative Strength Market PickerModified to code from @modhelius and added colors and histogram for easy reading...thanks to him...
What is Relative Strength?
Relative strength is a ratio of a stock price performance to a market average (index) performance. It is used in technical analysis.
It is not to be confused with relative strength index.
To calculate the relative strength of a particular stock, divide the percentage change over some time period by the percentage change of a particular index over the same time period.
How to read this indicator for trading and decesion making?
There are four colors
Aqua: Shows the bullish momentum against the index of your choosing
Navy blue: Show the bearish momentum is weakning at the time period
Fuschsia : Shows the bullish gaining strength and about to cross zero line
Red: Shows the bearish momentum is strong.
Other indicators to be used along with this are
1. Pivot points
2. Moving Average of highs and lows -- 17 period
To take long calls --- There has to be high closing candle above the 17 period moving average of highs and there has to be bullish momentum and ideally with the pivot point as a support
To take short calls -- There has to low closing candle below the 17 period moving average of lows and there has to be bearish momentum and ideally with the pivot point as a resistance.
ICT GMMA VegasHigh-Level Summary
This indicator blends:
ICT concepts (Market Structure Shift, Break of Structure, Order Blocks, Liquidity Pools, Fair Value Gaps, Killzones, etc.).
GMMA (Guppy Multiple Moving Averages) to visualize short, medium, and long trend strength.
Vegas Tunnels (EMA channels 144/169 and 576/676, plus optional 288/388 mid-tunnels).
Vegas Touch entry module with candlestick patterns (Pin Bar 40%, Engulfing 60%).
Extra slope EMAs (EMA60 & EMA200 with color change by slope).
It not only shows the structure (OB, Liquidity, FVGs) but also plots entry arrows and alerts when Vegas Touch + GMMA align.
⚙️ Script Components
1. GMMA Visualization
Short-term EMAs (3–15, green).
Medium-term EMAs (30–60, red).
Long-term EMAs (100–250, blue).
Used to measure crowd sentiment: short EMAs = traders, long EMAs = investors.
The script counts how many EMAs the close is above/below:
If close above ≥17 → possible buy trend.
If close below ≥17 → possible sell trend.
Plots arrows for buy/sell flips.
2. Vegas Tunnels
Short-term tunnel → EMA144 & EMA169.
Long-term tunnel → EMA576 & EMA676.
Mid-tunnels → EMA288 & EMA388.
Plotted as orange/fuchsia/magenta bands.
Conditions:
Breakout checks → if close crosses above/below these EMAs compared to prior bar.
3. ICT Toolkit
Market Structure Shift (MSS) & BOS (Break of Structure): labels & dotted lines when price shifts trend.
Liquidity zones (Buy/Sell): boxes drawn around swing highs/lows with clustering.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG/IFVG): automatic box drawing, showing break status.
Order Blocks (OB): bullish/bearish blocks, breaker OB recognition.
Killzones: highlights NY open, London open/close, Asia session with background shading.
Displacement: plots arrows on large impulse candles.
NWOG/NDOG: Weekly/Monday Open Gaps.
Basically, this section gives a full ICT price action map on the chart.
4. Vegas Touch Entry Module (Pin40/Eng60 + EMA12 switch)
This is the custom entry system you added:
Logic:
If EMA12 > EMA169, use Tunnel (144/169) as reference.
If EMA12 ≤ EMA169, use Base (576/676).
Hard lock: no longs if EMA12 < EMA676; no shorts if EMA12 > EMA676.
Touch condition:
Long → price touches lower band (Tunnel/Base).
Short → price touches upper band (Tunnel/Base).
With ATR/Percent tolerance.
Trend filter:
Must also align with long-term Vegas direction (144/169 vs 576/676 cross).
Close must be on the outer side of the band.
Candlestick filter:
Pin Bar (≥40% wick) or
Engulfing (≥60% bigger body than previous).
Cooldown: avoids multiple signals in short succession.
Plots:
Green triangle below = Long entry.
Red triangle above = Short entry.
Alerts: triggers once per bar close with full message.
5. Slope EMAs (Extra)
EMA60 and EMA200 plotted as thick lines.
Color:
Green if sloping upward (current > value 2 bars ago).
Red if sloping downward.
📡 Outputs & Alerts
Arrows for GMMA trend flips.
Arrows for Vegas Touch entries.
Labels for MSS, BOS, FVGs, OBs.
Liquidity/FVG/OB boxes.
Background shading for killzones.
Alerts:
“📡 Entry Alert (Long/Short)” for GMMA.
“VT LONG/SHORT” for Vegas Touch.
📝 Key Idea
This is not just one system, but a multi-layered confluence tool:
ICT structure & liquidity context.
GMMA trend recognition.
Vegas Tunnel directional bias.
Candlestick-based confirmation (Pin/Engulf).
Alert automation for live trading.
👉 It’s essentially a trader’s dashboard: structural map + moving averages + entry signals all in one.
Justin's Bitcoin Power Law PredictorJustin's MSTR Powerlaw Price Predictor is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that adapts Giovanni Santostasi’s Bitcoin power law model to forecast MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock prices. Using the formula Price = A * (daysSinceGenesis)^B, it calculates fair, upper, and floor prices with constants A_fair = 1.16e-17, A_floor = 0.42e-17, and B = 5.82, starting from Bitcoin’s genesis (January 3, 2009). The script plots these prices, displays values in a table.

Advanced RSI — Mark 4 RSI was introduced by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978 in New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. It measures the velocity of gains vs. losses on a bounded 0–100 scale and popularized the 14-period lookback with 70/30 guide rails for overbought/oversold. Over time, traders added variations (different lengths, thresholds, smoothing, adaptive levels), but the core idea stayed the same: momentum turns often precede price turns.
and i initially started to make minor adjustments for personal use like changing the default to 17 , and using Tradingviews official RSI which comes with a MA embedded. but it was not enough. especially the visuals.
so, for this public release Mark 4 i enhanced RSI by incorporating :
1. Dual-Length Fusion
Two RSI periods (default 17 + 21) blended then lightly smoothed (TEMA by default) → steadier
line without dulling turns.
2. Adaptive OB/OS (ATR-aware) for fewer whipsaws.
3. OB/OS alt solution:
Brief yellow segments appear only at local extremes (default: >72 tops, <32 bottoms) to
emphasize exhaustion without repainting the whole line.
4. Signals you can actually see
Triangle markers for:
Bullish: RSI crossing up through adaptive OS (and still <40 at the cross).
Bearish: RSI crossing down through adaptive OB (and still >60 at the cross).
“Strong Bull/Bear” background nudges appear when momentum is pushing beyond the
bands.
Optional Divergence Tags
and
Tiny diamonds to flag potential bullish/bearish divergences (look-back based).
Info Table (can be hidden)
my Fav feature i included 5 colorways with modern themes.(pls check under INPUTS)
and i made all that to make the indicator visualization look awesome on high end displays.
Credits & acknowledgment
Inspired by the original RSI by J. Welles Wilder Jr. (1978).
Built to be modern, focused, and comfortable for long sessions—especially on dark/OLED displays.
THIS INDICATOR IS MORE THAN ENOUGH BUT I DO HAVE PRIVATE INDICATORS WITH DIFFERENT LOGIC FUNCTIONS.

Sessions [Plug&Play]This indicator automatically highlights the three major FX trading sessions—Asia, London, and New York—on your chart and, at the close of each session, draws right-extended horizontal rays at that session’s high and low. It’s designed to help you visually identify when price is trading within each session’s range and to quickly see where the highest and lowest prices occurred before the next major session begins.
Key Features:
Session Boxes
Draws a semi-transparent box around each session’s timeframe (Asia, London, New York) based on your local UTC offset.
Each box dynamically expands in real time: as new candles form during the session, the box’s top and bottom edges update to match the highest high and lowest low seen so far in that session.
When the session ends, the box remains on your chart, anchored to the exact candles that formed its boundaries.
High/Low Rays
As soon as a session closes (e.g., London session ends at 17:00 UTC+0 by default), two horizontal rays are drawn at that session’s final high and low.
These rays are “pinned” to the exact candles where the high/low occurred, so they stay in place when you scroll or zoom.
Each ray extends indefinitely to the right, providing a clear reference of the key supply/demand levels created during that session.
Session Labels
Optionally places a small “London,” “New York,” or “Asia” label at the top edge of each completed session’s box.
Labels are horizontally centered within the session’s box and use a contrasting, easy-to-read font color.
Customizable Appearance
Show/Hide Each Session: Toggle display of London, New York, and Asia sessions separately.
Time Ranges: By default, London is 08:00–17:00 (UTC), New York is 13:00–22:00 (UTC), and Asia is 00:00–07:00 (UTC). You can override each session’s start/end times using the “Time Range” picker.
Color & Opacity: Assign custom colors to each session. Choose a global “Dark,” “Medium,” or “Light” opacity preset to adjust box fill transparency and border shading.
Show/Hide Labels & Outlines: Turn the text labels and the box borders on or off independently.
UTC Offset Support
If your local broker feed or price data is not in UTC, simply adjust the “UTC Offset (+/–)” input. The indicator will recalculate session start/end times relative to your chosen offset.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator:
Open TradingView’s Pine Editor, paste in this script, and click “Add to Chart.”
By default, you’ll see three translucent boxes appear once each session begins (Asia, London, New York).
Watch in Real Time:
As soon as a session starts, its box will appear anchored to the first candle. The top and bottom of the box expand if new extremes occur.
When the session closes, the final box remains visible and two horizontal rays mark that session’s high and low.
Analyze Key Levels:
Use the high- and low-level rays to gauge session liquidity zones—areas where stop orders, breakouts, or reversals often occur.
For example, if London’s high is significantly above current price, it may act as resistance in the New York session.
Customize to Your Needs:
Toggle specific sessions on/off (e.g., if you only care about London and New York).
Change each session’s color to match your chart theme.
Adjust the “UTC Offset” so sessions align with your local time.
Disable labels or box borders if you prefer a cleaner look.
Inputs Overview:
Show London/New York/Asia Session (bool): Show or hide each session’s box and its high/low rays.
Time Range (session): Defines the start/end of each session in “HHMM–HHMM” (24h) format.
Colour (color): Custom color for each session’s box fill, border, and high/low rays.
Show Session Labels (bool): Toggle the “London,” “New York,” “Asia” text that appears at the top of each completed box.
Show Range Outline (bool): Toggle the box border (if off, only a translucent fill is drawn).
Opacity Preset (Dark/Medium/Light): Controls transparency of box fill and border.
UTC Offset (+/–) (int): Adjusts session times for different time zones (e.g., +1 for UTC+1).
Why It’s Useful:
Quickly Identify Session Activity: Visually distinguish when each major trading session is active, then compare price action across sessions.
Pinpoint High/Low Liquidity Levels: Drawn rays highlight where the market hit its extremes—critical zones for stop orders or breakout entries.
Multi-Timeframe Context: By seeing historical session boxes and rays, you can locate recurring supply/demand areas, overlap zones, or session re-tests.
Fully Automated Workflow: Once added to your chart, the script does all the work of tracking session boundaries and drawing high/low lines—no manual box or line drawing necessary.
Example Use Cases:
London Breakout Traders: See where London’s high/low formed, then wait for price to revisit those levels during the New York session.
Range Breakout Strategies: If price consolidates inside the London box, use the boxed extremes as immediate targets for breakout entries.
Intraday Liquidity Swings: During quieter hours, watch Asia’s high/low to identify potential support/resistance before London’s opening.
Overlap Zones: Compare London’s range with Asia’s range to find areas of confluence—high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
Collatz Conjecture - DolphinTradeBot1️⃣ Overview
Every positive number follows its own unique path to reach 1 according to the Collatz rule.
Some numbers reach the end quickly and directly.
Others rise significantly before crashing down sharply.
Some get stuck within a certain range for a while before finally reaching 1.
Each number follows a different pattern — the number of steps it takes, how high it climbs, or which values it passes through cannot be predicted in advance.
This is a structure that appears chaotic but ultimately leads to order:
Every number reaches 1, but the way it gets there is entirely uncertain.
2️⃣ How Is It Work?
The rule is simple:
▪️ If the number is even → divide it by two.
▪️ If it’s odd → multiply it by three and add one.
Repeat this process at each step.
Example :
Let’s say the starting number is 7:
7 → 22 → 11 → 34 → 17 → 52 → 26 → 13 → 40 → 20 → 10 → 5 → 16 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 1
It reaches 1 in 17 steps.
And from there, it always enters the same cycle:
4 → 2 → 1 → 4 → 2 → 1...
3️⃣ Why Is It Worth Learning?
🎯 This indicator isn’t just mathematical fun—it’s a thought experiment for those who dare to question market behavior.
▪️ It’s fun.
Watching numbers behave in unpredictable ways from a simple rule set is surprisingly enjoyable.
▪️ It shows how hard it is to teach a computer what randomness really is .
The Collatz process can be used to simulate chaotic behavior and may even inspire creative ways to introduce complexity into your code.
▪️ It makes you think — especially in financial markets.
The patternless, yet rule-based structure of Collatz can help train your mind to recognize that not all unpredictability is random. It’s a great mental model for navigating complex systems like price action.
▪️ Just like price movements in financial markets, this ancient problem remains unsolved.
Despite its simplicity, the Collatz conjecture has resisted proof for decades — a reminder that even the most basic-looking systems can hide deep complexity.
4️⃣ How To Use?
Super easy — in the indicator’s settings, there’s just one input field.
Enter any positive number, and you’ll see the pattern it follows on its way to 1.
You can also observe how many steps it takes and which values it visits in the info box at the top center of the chart.

Quarterly Cycle Theory with DST time AdjustedThe Quarterly Theory removes ambiguity, as it gives specific time-based reference points to look for when entering trades. Before being able to apply this theory to trading, one must first understand that time is fractal:
Yearly Quarters = 4 quarters of three months each.
Monthly Quarters = 4 quarters of one week each.
Weekly Quarters = 4 quarters of one day each (Monday - Thursday). Friday has its own specific function.
Daily Quarters = 4 quarters of 6 hours each = 4 trading sessions of a trading day.
Sessions Quarters = 4 quarters of 90 minutes each.
90 Minute Quarters = 4 quarters of 22.5 minutes each.
Yearly Cycle: Analogously to financial quarters, the year is divided in four sections of three months each:
Q1 - January, February, March.
Q2 - April, May, June (True Open, April Open).
Q3 - July, August, September.
Q4 - October, November, December.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (daily candles) — Monthly Cycle.
Monthly Cycle: Considering that we have four weeks in a month, we start the cycle on the first month’s Monday (regardless of the calendar Day):
Q1 - Week 1: first Monday of the month.
Q2 - Week 2: second Monday of the month (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Week 3: third Monday of the month.
Q4 - Week 4: fourth Monday of the month.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (4 hour candles) — Weekly Cycle.
Weekly Cycle: Daye determined that although the trading week is composed by 5 trading days, we should ignore Friday, and the small portion of Sunday’s price action:
Q1 - Monday.
Q2 - Tuesday (True Open, Daily Candle Open Price).
Q3 - Wednesday.
Q4 - Thursday.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (1 hour candles) — Daily Cycle.
Daily Cycle: The Day can be broken down into 6 hour quarters. These times roughly define the sessions of the trading day, reinforcing the theory’s validity:
Q1 - 18:00 - 00:00 Asia.
Q2 - 00:00 - 06:00 London (True Open).
Q3 - 06:00 - 12:00 NY AM.
Q4 - 12:00 - 18:00 NY PM.
S&P 500 E-mini Futures (15 minute candles) — 6 Hour Cycle.
6 Hour Quarters or 90 Minute Cycle / Sessions divided into four sections of 90 minutes each (EST/EDT):
Asian Session
Q1 - 18:00 - 19:30
Q2 - 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open)
Q3 - 21:00 - 22:30
Q4 - 22:30 - 00:00
London Session
Q1 - 00:00 - 01:30
Q2 - 01:30 - 03:00 (True Open)

NY PM Session
Q1 - 12:00 - 13:30
Q2 - 13:30 - 15:00 (True Open)

Correlation Heatmap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator creates a correlation matrix for a user-specified list of symbols based on their time-aligned weekly or monthly price returns. It calculates the Pearson correlation coefficient for each possible symbol pair, and it displays the results in a symmetric table with heatmap-colored cells. This format provides an intuitive view of the linear relationships between various symbols' price movements over a specific time range.
█ CONCEPTS
Correlation
Correlation typically refers to an observable statistical relationship between two datasets. In a financial time series context, it usually represents the extent to which sampled values from a pair of datasets, such as two series of price returns, vary jointly over time. More specifically, in this context, correlation describes the strength and direction of the relationship between the samples from both series.
If two separate time series tend to rise and fall together proportionally, they might be highly correlated. Likewise, if the series often vary in opposite directions, they might have a strong anticorrelation . If the two series do not exhibit a clear relationship, they might be uncorrelated .
Traders frequently analyze asset correlations to help optimize portfolios, assess market behaviors, identify potential risks, and support trading decisions. For instance, correlation often plays a key role in diversification . When two instruments exhibit a strong correlation in their returns, it might indicate that buying or selling both carries elevated unsystematic risk . Therefore, traders often aim to create balanced portfolios of relatively uncorrelated or anticorrelated assets to help promote investment diversity and potentially offset some of the risks.
When using correlation analysis to support investment decisions, it is crucial to understand the following caveats:
• Correlation does not imply causation . Two assets might vary jointly over an analyzed range, resulting in high correlation or anticorrelation in their returns, but that does not indicate that either instrument directly influences the other. Joint variability between assets might occur because of shared sensitivities to external factors, such as interest rates or global sentiment, or it might be entirely coincidental. In other words, correlation does not provide sufficient information to identify cause-and-effect relationships.
• Correlation does not predict the future relationship between two assets. It only reflects the estimated strength and direction of the relationship between the current analyzed samples. Financial time series are ever-changing. A strong trend between two assets can weaken or reverse in the future.
Correlation coefficient
A correlation coefficient is a numeric measure of correlation. Several coefficients exist, each quantifying different types of relationships between two datasets. The most common and widely known measure is the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient , also known as the Pearson correlation coefficient or Pearson's r . Usually, when the term "correlation coefficient" is used without context, it refers to this correlation measure.
The Pearson correlation coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. In other words, it indicates how consistently variables' values move together or in opposite directions in a proportional, linear manner. Its formula is as follows:
𝑟(𝑥, 𝑦) = cov(𝑥, 𝑦) / (𝜎𝑥 * 𝜎𝑦)
Where:
• 𝑥 is the first variable, and 𝑦 is the second variable.
• cov(𝑥, 𝑦) is the covariance between 𝑥 and 𝑦.
• 𝜎𝑥 is the standard deviation of 𝑥.
• 𝜎𝑦 is the standard deviation of 𝑦.
In essence, the correlation coefficient measures the covariance between two variables, normalized by the product of their standard deviations. The coefficient's value ranges from -1 to 1, allowing a more straightforward interpretation of the relationship between two datasets than what covariance alone provides:
• A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation over the analyzed sample. As one variable's value changes, the other variable's value changes proportionally in the same direction .
• A value of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (anticorrelation). As one variable's value increases, the other variable's value decreases proportionally.
• A value of 0 indicates no linear relationship between the variables over the analyzed sample.
Aligning returns across instruments
In a financial time series, each data point (i.e., bar) in a sample represents information collected in periodic intervals. For instance, on a "1D" chart, bars form at specific times as successive days elapse.
However, the times of the data points for a symbol's standard dataset depend on its active sessions , and sessions vary across instrument types. For example, the daily session for NYSE stocks is 09:30 - 16:00 UTC-4/-5 on weekdays, Forex instruments have 24-hour sessions that span from 17:00 UTC-4/-5 on one weekday to 17:00 on the next, and new daily sessions for cryptocurrencies start at 00:00 UTC every day because crypto markets are consistently open.
Therefore, comparing the standard datasets for different asset types to identify correlations presents a challenge. If two symbols' datasets have bars that form at unaligned times, their correlation coefficient does not accurately describe their relationship. When calculating correlations between the returns for two assets, both datasets must maintain consistent time alignment in their values and cover identical ranges for meaningful results.
To address the issue of time alignment across instruments, this indicator requests confirmed weekly or monthly data from spread tickers constructed from the chart's ticker and another specified ticker. The datasets for spreads are derived from lower-timeframe data to ensure the values from all symbols come from aligned points in time, allowing a fair comparison between different instrument types. Additionally, each spread ticker ID includes necessary modifiers, such as extended hours and adjustments.
In this indicator, we use the following process to retrieve time-aligned returns for correlation calculations:
1. Request the current and previous prices from a spread representing the sum of the chart symbol and another symbol ( "chartSymbol + anotherSymbol" ).
2. Request the prices from another spread representing the difference between the two symbols ( "chartSymbol - anotherSymbol" ).
3. Calculate half of the difference between the values from both spreads ( 0.5 * (requestedSum - requestedDifference) ). The results represent the symbol's prices at times aligned with the sample points on the current chart.
4. Calculate the arithmetic return of the retrieved prices: (currentPrice - previousPrice) / previousPrice
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for each symbol requiring analysis.
It's crucial to note that because this process retrieves prices for a symbol at times consistent with periodic points on the current chart, the values can represent prices from before or after the closing time of the symbol's usual session.
Additionally, note that the maximum number of weeks or months in the correlation calculations depends on the chart's range and the largest time range common to all the requested symbols. To maximize the amount of data available for the calculations, we recommend setting the chart to use a daily or higher timeframe and specifying a chart symbol that covers a sufficient time range for your needs.
█ FEATURES
This indicator analyzes the correlations between several pairs of user-specified symbols to provide a structured, intuitive view of the relationships in their returns. Below are the indicator's key features:
Requesting a list of securities
The "Symbol list" text box in the indicator's "Settings/Inputs" tab accepts a comma-separated list of symbols or ticker identifiers with optional spaces (e.g., "XOM, MSFT, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD"). The indicator dynamically requests returns for each symbol in the list, then calculates the correlation between each pair of return series for its heatmap display.
Each item in the list must represent a valid symbol or ticker ID. If the list includes an invalid symbol, the script raises a runtime error.
To specify a broker/exchange for a symbol, include its name as a prefix with a colon in the "EXCHANGE:SYMBOL" format. If a symbol in the list does not specify an exchange prefix, the indicator selects the most commonly used exchange when requesting the data.
Note that the number of symbols allowed in the list depends on the user's plan. Users with non-professional plans can compare up to 20 symbols with this indicator, and users with professional plans can compare up to 32 symbols.
Timeframe and data length selection
The "Returns timeframe" input specifies whether the indicator uses weekly or monthly returns in its calculations. By default, its value is "1M", meaning the indicator analyzes monthly returns. Note that this script requires a chart timeframe lower than or equal to "1M". If the chart uses a higher timeframe, it causes a runtime error.
To customize the length of the data used in the correlation calculations, use the "Max periods" input. When enabled, the indicator limits the calculation window to the number of periods specified in the input field. Otherwise, it uses the chart's time range as the limit. The top-left corner of the table shows the number of confirmed weeks or months used in the calculations.
It's important to note that the number of confirmed periods in the correlation calculations is limited to the largest time range common to all the requested datasets, because a meaningful correlation matrix requires analyzing each symbol's returns under the same market conditions. Therefore, the correlation matrix can show different results for the same symbol pair if another listed symbol restricts the aligned data to a shorter time range.
Heatmap display
This indicator displays the correlations for each symbol pair in a heatmap-styled table representing a symmetric correlation matrix. Each row and column corresponds to a specific symbol, and the cells at their intersections correspond to symbol pairs . For example, the cell at the "AAPL" row and "MSFT" column shows the weekly or monthly correlation between those two symbols' returns. Likewise, the cell at the "MSFT" row and "AAPL" column shows the same value.
Note that the main diagonal cells in the display, where the row and column refer to the same symbol, all show a value of 1 because any series of non-na data is always perfectly correlated with itself.
The background of each correlation cell uses a gradient color based on the correlation value. By default, the gradient uses blue hues for positive correlation, orange hues for negative correlation, and white for no correlation. The intensity of each blue or orange hue corresponds to the strength of the measured correlation or anticorrelation. Users can customize the gradient's base colors using the inputs in the "Color gradient" section of the "Settings/Inputs" tab.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
• This script uses the `getArrayFromString()` function from our ValueAtTime library to process the input list of symbols. The function splits the "string" value by its commas, then constructs an array of non-empty strings without leading or trailing whitespaces. Additionally, it uses the str.upper() function to convert each symbol's characters to uppercase.
• The script's `getAlignedReturns()` function requests time-aligned prices with two request.security() calls that use spread tickers based on the chart's symbol and another symbol. Then, it calculates the arithmetic return using the `changePercent()` function from the ta library. The `collectReturns()` function uses `getAlignedReturns()` within a loop and stores the data from each call within a matrix . The script calls the `arrayCorrelation()` function on pairs of rows from the returned matrix to calculate the correlation values.
• For consistency, the `getAlignedReturns()` function includes extended hours and dividend adjustment modifiers in its data requests. Additionally, it includes other settings inherited from the chart's context, such as "settlement-as-close" preferences.
• A Pine script can execute up to 40 or 64 unique `request.*()` function calls, depending on the user's plan. The maximum number of symbols this script compares is half the plan's limit, because `getAlignedReturns()` uses two request.security() calls.
• This script can use the request.security() function within a loop because all scripts in Pine v6 enable dynamic requests by default. Refer to the Dynamic requests section of the Other timeframes and data page to learn more about this feature, and see our v6 migration guide to learn what's new in Pine v6.
• The script's table uses two distinct color.from_gradient() calls in a switch structure to determine the cell colors for positive and negative correlation values. One call calculates the color for values from -1 to 0 based on the first and second input colors, and the other calculates the colors for values from 0 to 1 based on the second and third input colors.

Overnight High/LowThe script identifies the Overnight High (the highest price) and Overnight Low (the lowest price) for a trading instrument during a specified overnight session. It then plots these levels on the chart for reference in subsequent trading sessions.
Key Features:
Time Settings:
The script defines the start (startHour) and end (endHour + endMinute) times for the overnight session.
The session spans across two calendar days, such as 5:00 PM (17:00) to 9:30 AM (09:30).
Tracking High and Low:
During the overnight session, the script dynamically tracks:
Overnight High: The highest price reached during the session.
Overnight Low: The lowest price reached during the session.
Reset Mechanism:
After the overnight session ends (at the specified end time), the script resets the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables, preparing for the next session.
Visual Representation:
The script uses horizontal dotted lines to plot:
A green line for the Overnight High.
A red line for the Overnight Low.
These lines extend to the right of the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
How It Works:
Session Detection:
The script checks whether the current time falls within the overnight session:
If the hour is greater than or equal to the start hour (e.g., 17:00).
Or if the hour is less than or equal to the end hour (e.g., 09:30), considering the next day.
The end minute (e.g., 30 minutes past the hour) is also considered for precision.
High and Low Calculation:
During the overnight session:
If the overnightHigh is not yet defined, it initializes with the current candle's high.
If already defined, it updates by comparing the current candle's high to the existing overnightHigh using the math.max function.
Similarly, overnightLow is initialized or updated using the math.min function.
Post-Session Reset:
After the session ends, the script clears the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables by setting them to na (not available).
Line Drawing:
The script draws horizontal dotted lines for the Overnight High and Low during and after the session.
The lines extend indefinitely to the right of the chart.
Benefits:
Visual Aid: Helps traders quickly identify overnight support and resistance levels, which are critical for intraday trading.
Automation: Removes the need for manually plotting these levels each day.
Customizable: Time settings can be adjusted to match different markets or trading strategies.
This script is ideal for traders who use the overnight range as part of their analysis for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation strategies.

Each session corresponds to specific time intervals when institutional activity is most likely to drive price action. By focusing on these periods, traders can align their strategies with market volatility and liquidity, increasing their chances of success.
Highlighted Sessions
The indicator covers all major ICT Macro Sessions, each with a unique color for easy identification:
London Macro 1 (15:33–16:00 GMT+8):
- Marks the early London session, often characterized by strong directional moves.
London Macro 2 (17:03–17:30 GMT+8):
- Captures the mid-London session, where price frequently reacts to liquidity levels.
New York AM Macro 1 (22:50–23:10 GMT+8):
- Highlights the start of the New York session, a prime time for price reversals or continuations.
New York AM Macro 2 (23:50–00:10 GMT+8):
- Focuses on late-morning New York activity, often aligning with key news releases.
New York Lunch Macro (00:50–01:10 GMT+8):

New York PM Macro 1 (02:10–02:40 GMT+8):
- Tracks post-lunch activity in New York, often featuring renewed volatility.
New York PM Macro 2 (04:15–04:45 GMT+8):
- Captures late-session moves as institutional traders finalize their positions.
Features of the Indicator
Fixed Time: The indicator is pre-configured for GMT+8 but it will adapt automatically to your timezone. No need to change anything in the code.
Background Highlighting: Each session is visually marked with a unique background color for quick recognition.
Optional Labels: Traders can enable or disable labels for each session, providing flexibility in how information is displayed.
Session Toggles: You can choose which sessions to display based on your trading preferences and strategy.
Intraday Timeframes: The indicator is optimized for intraday charts with timeframes of 45 minutes or less. You can change it to anything you like.
Why Use This Indicator?
The ICT Macro Sessions Indicator helps traders focus on the most critical times of the trading day when institutional activity is at its peak. These periods often coincide with significant price movements, making them ideal for scalping, day trading, or even swing trading setups. By visually highlighting these sessions, the indicator eliminates guesswork and allows traders to plan their trades with precision.
5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.

Below are the main applications of this tool and how to incorporate it into your trading strategies :
🟣 Combining ICT Macros with Trading Strategies
The ICT Macros indicator can easily be used in conjunction with various trading strategies. Two well-known strategies that can be combined with this indicator include:
ICT 2022 Trading Model : This model is designed based on identifying market liquidity, structural price changes, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG). By using ICT Macros, you can identify the key time intervals when the market is seeking liquidity, filling imbalances, or breaking through important highs and lows, allowing you to enter or exit trades at the right moment.
Silver Bullet Strategy : This strategy, which is built around liquidity hunting and rapid price movements, can work more accurately with the help of ICT Macros. The indicator pinpoints precise liquidity times, helping traders take advantage of market shifts caused by filling Fair Value Gaps or correcting imbalances.
🟣 Capitalizing on Price Volatility During Key Times
Large market algorithms often seek liquidity or fill Fair Value Gaps (FVG) during the intervals marked by ICT Macros. These periods are when price volatility increases, and traders can use these moments to enter or exit trades.
For example, if sell-side liquidity is drained and the market fills an imbalance, the price might move toward buy-side liquidity. By identifying these moments, which may also involve breaking a previous high or low, you can leverage rapid market fluctuations to your advantage.
🟣 Identifying Liquidity and Price Imbalances
One of the important uses of ICT Macros is identifying points where the market is seeking liquidity and correcting imbalances. You can determine high or low liquidity levels in the market before each ICT Macro, as well as Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and price imbalances that need to be filled, using them to adjust your trading strategy. This capability allows you to manage trades based on liquidity shifts or imbalance corrections without needing a bias toward a specific direction.
🔵 Settings
The ICT Macros indicator offers various customization options, allowing users to tailor it to their specific needs. Below are the main settings:
Time Zone Mode : You can select one of the following options to define how time is displayed:
UTC : For traders who need to work with Universal Time.
Session Local Time : The local time corresponding to the London or New York markets.
Your Time Zone : You can specify your own time zone (e.g., "UTC-4:00").
Your Time Zone : If you choose "Your Time Zone," you can set your specific time zone. By default, this is set to UTC-4:00.
Show Range Time : This option allows you to display the time range of each session on the chart. If enabled, the exact start and end times of each interval are shown.
Show or Hide Time Ranges : Toggle on/off for visual clarity depending on user preference.
Custom Colors : Set distinct colors for each session, allowing users to personalize their chart based on their trading style.These settings allow you to adjust the key time intervals of each trading session to your preference and customize the time format according to your own needs.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Macros indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping them to identify key time intervals where the market seeks liquidity or fills Fair Value Gaps (FVG), corrects imbalances, and breaks highs or lows. This tool is especially valuable for traders using liquidity-based strategies such as ICT 2022 or Silver Bullet.
One of the key features of this indicator is its support for Daylight Saving Time (DST), ensuring you are always in sync with the correct trading session timings without manual adjustments. This is particularly beneficial for traders operating across different time zones.
With ICT Macros, you can capitalize on crucial market opportunities during sensitive times, take advantage of imbalances, and enhance your trading strategies based on market volatility, liquidity shifts, and Fair Value Gaps.

COMBINED EMA & SMA + DOUBLE DEMA, $TOTAL 1W / 5D -- Ruslan CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL
This Pine Script indicator, **"EMAS"**, provides an enhanced visualization of multiple types of moving averages, including both **Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)**, **Simple Moving Averages (SMA)**, and **Double Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA)**. It allows the user to observe the relationship between these different types of moving averages and apply regime-based coloring to price bars based on the comparison between the EMAs and DEMAs.
#### Key Features:
1. **EMA & SMA:**
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average):** Calculated using a customizable lookback period (default 17), the EMA places greater weight on more recent prices, making it react faster to price changes.
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average):** Uses an equal-weighted average over a customizable lookback period (default 14), providing a slower-moving average compared to the EMA.
2. **DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average):**
- Two separate DEMA lines are plotted using different lookback periods (default 2 and 14). The DEMA is a smoother and faster-responding version of the EMA, intended to reduce lag while retaining trend-following characteristics.
3. **Combined Signals:**
- The script calculates ratios between EMA/SMA (`comb`) and DEMA1/DEMA2 (`combd`) to generate a **regime-based bar coloring system**:
- If `combd > comb`: The bars are colored **green**, indicating that DEMAs are outperforming the EMAs, potentially signaling a stronger trend or momentum.
- If `comb > combd`: The bars are colored **red**, suggesting that the EMAs are dominant, which may indicate a different phase of the market.
4. **Signal SMA:**
- A 21-period **SMA** is plotted as a general trend-following signal. It provides a broader perspective on the current price trend, helping to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
5. **Customizable Options:**
- **"Show MAs?"**: The user has the option to toggle the display of the EMA, SMA, and DEMA lines on or off.
- **Custom Period Inputs**: Each type of moving average can have its period length customized via the input settings for better adaptability to different market conditions.
#### How to Use the Indicator:
- **Trend Following**:
The **EMA, SMA, and DEMA** values can help you determine the direction of the trend. When the EMA is above the SMA, it could indicate a stronger, more recent upward momentum. Similarly, DEMA comparisons provide smoother and faster trend signals.
- **Bar Coloring Regime**:
The **bar color** gives a quick visual cue of the regime:
- **Green bars** suggest that DEMAs are indicating stronger bullish or bearish signals compared to the EMAs.
- **Red bars** imply the opposite, where EMAs may be showing stronger signals, but possibly with more noise or lag.
- **Signal SMA**:
The **21-period SMA** line can be used as a simple trend indicator. When the price is above this line, it could signify an uptrend, while price movement below the line might indicate a downtrend.
#### Custom Inputs:
- **EMA Length**: Default is 17, but can be adjusted to fit your trading style.
- **SMA Length**: Default is 14.
- **DEMA Lengths**: Two customizable inputs for DEMA (default 2 and 14).
- **Source Selection**: You can choose which price source (close, open, high, low, etc.) to use for each calculation (default is the closing price).
#### Conclusion:
This indicator is useful for traders who wish to blend **trend-following strategies** (using EMA, SMA, and DEMA) with **visual regime indicators** (bar coloring). It is highly customizable, allowing traders to adjust settings based on their market approach. The combination of EMAs and DEMAs provides a nuanced view of price dynamics, potentially leading to better-informed trading decisions.

In addition, you can look at some examples
GG - LevelsThe GG Levels indicator is a tool designed for day trading U.S. equity futures. It highlights key levels intraday, overnight, intermediate-swing levels that are relevant for intraday futures trading.
Terminology
RTH (Regular Trading Hours): Represents the New York session from 09:30 to 17:00 EST.
ON Session (Overnight Session): Represents the trading activity from 17:00 to 09:29 EST.
IB (Initial Balance): The first hour of the New York session, from 09:30 to 10:30 EST.
Open: The opening price of the RTH session.
YH (Yesterday's High): The highest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YL (Yesterday's Low): The lowest price during the RTH session of the previous day.
YC (Yesterday's Close): The daily bar close which for futures gets updated to settlement.
IBH (Initial Balance High): The highest price during the IB session.
IBL (Initial Balance Low): The lowest price during the IB session.
ONH (Overnight High): The highest price during the ON session.
ONL (Overnight Low): The lowest price during the ON session.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): The volume-weighted average price that resets each day.
Why is RTH Important?
Tracking the RTH session is important because often times the overnight session can be filled with "lies". It is thought that because the overnight session is lower volume price can be pushed or "manipulated" to extremes that would not happen during higher volume times.
Why is the ON Session Important Then?
Just because the ON session can be thought as a "lie" doesn't mean it is relevant to know. For example, if price is stuck inside the ON range then you can think of the market as rotational or range-bound. If price is above the ON range then it can be thought of as bullish. If price is below the ON range then it can be thought as bearish.
What is IB?
IB or initial balance is the first hour of the New York Session. Typically the market sets the tone for the day in the first hour. This tone is similarly a map like the ON session. If we are above the IBH then it is bullish and likely a trend day to the upside. If we are below the IBL then it is bearish and likely a trend day to the downside. If we are in IB then we want to avoid conducting business in the middle of IBH and IBL to avoid getting chopped up in a range bound market.
These levels are not a holy grail
You should use this indicator as guide or map for context about the instrument you are trading. You need to combine your own technical analysis with this indicator. You want as much context confirming your trade thesis in order to enter a trade. Simply buying or selling because we are above or below a level is not recommended in any circumstance. If it were that easy I would not publish this indicator.
Adjustments
In the indicator settings you can adjust the RTH, ON, and IB session-time settings. All of the times entered must be in EST (Eastern Standard Time). You may want to do this to apply the levels to a foreign market.
