Trading Macro Windows by BW v2
Trading Macros by BW: Integrating ICT Concepts for Session Analysis
This indicator combines two key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts—Change in State of Delivery (CISD) or Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) signals with Macro Time Windows—to provide a unified tool for analyzing intraday price action, particularly during Pacific Time (PT) sessions. Rather than simply merging existing scripts, this integration creates a cohesive visual framework that highlights how macro consolidation periods interact with potential reversal or continuation signals like CISD or IFVG. By overlaying macro candle styling and borders on the chart alongside selectable signal lines, traders can better contextualize setups within ICT's macro narrative, where price often manipulates liquidity during these windows before displacing toward higher-timeframe objectives.
Core Components and How They Work Together:
Macro Time Windows (Inspired by ICT's Macro Periods):
ICT emphasizes "macro" as 30-minute windows (e.g., 06:45–07:15 PT, 07:45–08:15 PT, up to 11:45–12:15 PT) where price tends to consolidate, sweep liquidity, or form key structures like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These periods set the stage for the session's directional bias.
The indicator styles candles within these windows using a user-defined color for wicks, borders, and bodies (translucent for visibility). This visual emphasis helps traders focus on activity inside macros, where reversals or continuations often originate.
Borders are drawn as vertical lines at the start and end of each window (with a +5 minute buffer to capture related activity), using a dotted style by default. This creates a "study zone" that encapsulates macro events, allowing traders to assess if price is respecting or violating these zones in alignment with broader ICT models like the Power of 3 (AMD cycle).
Toggle: "Macro Candles Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to disable styling and borders if focusing solely on signals.
CISD or IFVG Signals (Selectable Mode):
Mode Selection: Choose between "Change in the State of Delivery" (CISD) or "IFVG" (default: IFVG). Both detect shifts in market delivery during specific 30-minute slices (15–45 or 17–45 minutes past the hour in PT sessions).
CISD Mode: Based on ICT's definition of a sudden directional shift, this identifies aggressive displacements after sweeping recent highs/lows. It uses a rolling reference high/low over 6 bars, checks for sweeps (penetrating by at least 2 ticks in the last 2-3 bars), reclamation (closing beyond the reference with at least 50% body), and displacement (50% of prior range or an immediate FVG of 6+ ticks). Signals plot a horizontal line from the close, extending 24 bars right, labeled "CISD."
IFVG Mode: Focuses on Inverted Fair Value Gaps, where a bullish FVG (low > high by 13+ ticks) forms but is inverted (closed below) in the same slice, signaling bearish intent (or vice versa). This targets violations against opposing liquidity, often leading to raids on external ranges. Signals plot similarly, labeled "IFVG."
Shared Logic: Both modes enforce a 55-bar cooldown to prevent clustering, operate only during PT sessions (06:30–13:00), and use tick-based thresholds for precision across instruments. The integration with macros allows traders to see if signals occur within or at the edges of macro windows, enhancing confirmation—for example, a CISD inside a macro might indicate a manipulated reversal toward the session's true objective.
Toggle: "Signals Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to hide all signal lines and labels, isolating the macro visualization.
How Components Interact:
Macro windows provide the "narrative context" (consolidation/manipulation), while CISD/IFVG signals detect the "delivery shift" (displacement). Together, they form a mashup that justifies publication: isolated signals can be noisy, but when filtered by macro periods, they align with ICT's session model. For instance, an IFVG inversion during a macro might confirm a liquidity sweep before targeting PD arrays or order blocks.
No external dependencies; all calculations are self-contained using Pine's built-in functions like ta.highest/lowest for references and time-based sessions for windows.
Usage Guidelines:
Apply to intraday charts (e.g., 1-5 min) or stocks during PT hours.
Look for confluence: A bull IFVG signal post-macro low sweep might target the next macro high or daily bias.
Customize colors/styles for signals (solid/dashed/dotted lines) and macros to suit your chart.
Backtest in replay mode to observe how macros frame signals—e.g., price often respects macro borders as S/R.
Limitations: Timezone-fixed to PT (America/Los_Angeles); signals are directional hints, not trade entries. Combine with ICT tools like order blocks or liquidity pools for full setups.
This script draws from community ICT implementations but refines them into a single, purpose-built tool for macro-driven trading, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing interconnected concepts. Feedback welcome!

Wickless Tap Signals Wickless Tap Signals — TradingView Indicator (v6)
A precision signal-only tool that marks BUY/SELL events when price “retests” the base of a very strong impulse candle (no wick on the retest side) in the direction of trend.
What it does (in plain English)
Finds powerful impulse candles:
Bull case: a green candle with no lower wick (its open ≈ low).
Bear case: a red candle with no upper wick (its open ≈ high).
Confirms trend with an EMA filter:
Only looks for bullish bases while price is above the EMA.
Only looks for bearish bases while price is below the EMA.
Waits for the retest (“tap”):
Later, if price revisits the base of that wickless candle
Bullish: taps the candle’s low/open → BUY signal
Bearish: taps the candle’s high/open → SELL signal
Optional level “consumption” so each base can trigger one signal, not many.
The idea: a wickless impulse often marks strong initiative order flow. The first retest of that base frequently acts as a springboard (bull) or ceiling (bear).
Exact rules (formal)
Let tick = syminfo.mintick, tol = tapTicks * tick.
Trend filter
inUp = close > EMA(lenEMA)
inDn = close < EMA(lenEMA)
Wickless impulse candles (confirmed on bar close)
Bullish wickless: close > open and abs(low - open) ≤ tol
Bearish wickless: close < open and abs(high - open) ≤ tol
When such a candle closes with trend alignment:
Store bullTapLevel = low (for bull case) and its bar index.
Store bearTapLevel = high (for bear case) and its bar index.
Signals (must happen on a later bar than the origin)
BUY: low ≤ bullTapLevel + tol and inUp and bar_index > bullBarIdx
SELL: high ≥ bearTapLevel - tol and inDn and bar_index > bearBarIdx
One-shot option
If enabled, once a signal fires, the stored level is cleared so it won’t trigger again.
Inputs (Settings)
Trend EMA Length (lenEMA): Default 200.
Use 50–100 for intraday, 200 for swing/position.
Tap Tolerance (ticks) (tapTicks): Default 1.
Helps account for tiny feed discrepancies. Set 0 for strict equality.
One Signal per Level (oneShot): Default ON.
If OFF, multiple taps can create multiple signals.
Plot Tap Levels (plotLevels): Draws horizontal lines at active bases.
Show Pattern Labels (showLabels): Marks the origin wickless candles.
Plots & Visuals
EMA trend line for context.
Tap Levels:
Green line at bullish base (origin candle’s low/open).
Red line at bearish base (origin candle’s high/open).
Signals:
BUY: triangle-up below the bar on the tap.
SELL: triangle-down above the bar on the tap.
Labels (optional):
Marks the original wickless impulse candle that created each level.
Alerts
Two alert conditions are built in:
“BUY Signal” — fires when a bullish tap occurs.
“SELL Signal” — fires when a bearish tap occurs.
How to set:
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click Alerts (⏰) → Condition = this indicator.
Choose BUY Signal or SELL Signal.
Set your alert frequency and delivery method.
Recommended usage
Timeframes: Works on any; start with 5–15m intraday, or 1H–1D for swing.
Markets: Equities, futures, FX, crypto. For thin/illiquid assets, consider a slightly larger Tap Tolerance.
Confluence ideas (optional, but helpful):
Higher-timeframe trend agreeing with your chart timeframe.
Volume surge on the origin wickless candle.
S/R, order blocks, or SMC structures near the tap level.
Avoid major news moments when slippage is high.
No-repaint behavior
Origin patterns are detected only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed), so bases are created with confirmed data.
Signals come after the origin bar, on subsequent taps.
There is no lookahead; lines and shapes reflect information known at the time.
(As with all real-time indicators, an intrabar tap can trigger an alert during the live bar; the signal then remains if that condition held at bar close.)
Known limitations & design choices
Single active level per side: The script tracks only the most recent bullish base and most recent bearish base.
Want a queue of multiple simultaneous bases? That’s possible with arrays; ask and we’ll extend it.
Heikin Ashi / non-standard candles: Wick definitions change; for consistent behavior use regular OHLC candles.
Gaps: On large gaps, taps can occur instantly at the open. Consider one-shot ON to avoid rapid repeats.
This is an indicator, not a strategy: It does not place trades or compute PnL. For backtesting, we can convert it into a strategy with SL/TP logic (ATR or structure-based).
Practical tips
Tap Tolerance:
If you miss obvious taps by a hair, increase to 1–2 ticks.
For FX/crypto with tiny ticks, even 0 or 1 is often enough.
EMA length:
Shorten for faster signals; lengthen for cleaner trend selection.
Risk management (manual suggestion):
For BUY signals, consider a stop slightly below the tap level (or ATR-based).
For SELL signals, consider a stop slightly above the tap level.
Scale out or trail using structure or ATR.
Quick checklist
✅ Price above EMA → watch for a green no-lower-wick candle → store its low → BUY on tap.
✅ Price below EMA → watch for a red no-upper-wick candle → store its high → SELL on tap.
✅ Use Tap Tolerance to avoid missing precise touches by one tick.
✅ Consider One Signal per Level to keep trades uncluttered.
FAQ
Q: Why did I not get a signal even though price touched the level?
A: Check Tap Tolerance (maybe too strict), trend alignment at the tap bar, and that the tap happened after the origin candle. Also confirm you’re on regular candles.
Q: Can I see multiple bases at once?
A: This version tracks the latest bull and bear bases. We can extend to arrays to keep N recent bases per side.
Q: Will it repaint?
A: No. Bases form on confirmed closes, and signals only on later bars.
Q: Can I backtest it?
A: This is a study. Ask for the strategy variant and we’ll add entries, exits, SL/TP, and stats.
First Candle ChannelTo create a price channel on the 15-minute timeframe based on the first candle's highest and lowest points, follow these steps:
Identify the first 15-minute candle of the trading session or your observation period.
Note the high and low prices of this first candle.
Draw two horizontal lines on the chart:
The upper line at the highest price of the first candle.
The lower line at the lowest price of the first candle.
These two lines form the channel boundaries for subsequent price action.
You can use this channel to observe price movement, noting when price breaks above (bullish breakout) or below (bearish breakdown) the channel formed by the first candle.
This method creates a simple visual range reference based on the initial price movement of the session or period, often used to gauge early strength or rarity of breakout events.
Prev D/W/M + Asia & London Levels [Oeditrades]Prev D/W/M + Asia & London Levels
Author: Oeditrades
Platform: Pine Script® v6
What it does
Plots only the most recent, fully completed:
Previous Day / Week / Month highs & lows
Asia and London session highs & lows
Levels are drawn as true horizontal lines from the period/session start and extended to the right for easy confluence reading. The script is non-repainting.
How it works
Prev Day/Week/Month: Uses completed HTF candles (high / low ) so values are fixed for the entire next period.
Sessions (NY time): Asia (default 20:00–03:00) and London (default 03:00–08:00) are tracked in America/New_York time. High/low are locked when the session ends, and the line is anchored at that session’s start.
Inputs & customization
Visibility: toggle Previous Day/Week/Month, Asia, London, and labels.
Colors: highs default red; lows default green (user-configurable). Session highs default pink, lows aqua (also editable).
Style: line style (solid/dotted/dashed) and width.
Sessions: editable time windows for Asia and London (still interpreted in New York time).
Disclaimer: optional on-chart disclaimer panel with editable text.
Notes
Works on any timeframe. For intraday charts, the HTF values remain constant until the next HTF bar completes.
If your market’s overnight hours differ, simply adjust the session windows in Inputs.
Lines intentionally show only the latest completed period/session to keep charts clean.
Use cases
Quick view of PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML for bias and liquidity.
Intraday planning around Asia/London range breaks, retests, and overlaps with prior levels.

VHX EMA 135/315📈 EMA 135/315 Cross Strategy – Your Trend Compass with Smart Confirmations
🔍 Core Idea
The EMA 135/315 Cross strategy is a trend-following system.
It tracks two moving averages:
EMA 135 → the “fast” line that reacts to short-term price moves
EMA 315 → the “slow” line that reacts to the bigger trend
When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA → market momentum is turning up → BUY signal 🟢
When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA → momentum is turning down → SELL signal 🔴
This gives you a clear entry trigger — no guessing, no overcomplication.
✨ On Your Chart
BUY/SELL Arrows
🟢 Green arrow = bullish cross → trend turning up
🔴 Red arrow = bearish cross → trend turning down
Trend Info Panel (Top Left)
Current Trend: BUY / SELL / Neutral
Last Cross: how many bars ago it happened
EMA Gap in %: measures the strength of the trend
Status: “Approaching” if EMAs are getting close → possible cross soon
Automatic TP/SL Levels
📈 TP line (+2% from entry)
📉 SL line (–0.5% from entry)
Saves time — you instantly see your target and protection
EMA Distance Meter
Big % gap = strong trend momentum 🚀
Small % gap = weak or sideways market ⚠️
Real-Time Alerts
You get notified when a cross happens, even if you’re away from the screen
🧠 The Logic Behind It
The EMA 135 reacts faster → it reflects short-term momentum
The EMA 315 moves slower → it reflects the main trend
When the fast EMA overtakes the slow EMA: short-term strength now aligns with the long-term trend → higher probability of a sustained move
The gap % tells you how strong the alignment is — large gap = cleaner moves, small gap = market in transition
“Approaching” status warns that the EMAs are converging, which often happens before a reversal
📊 Boosting the Strategy with Volume Analysis
The EMA cross is a strong trigger, but volume confirms the quality of the move:
High Volume + Cross → more reliable signal, as strong market participation is pushing the trend
Low Volume + Cross → caution, the move might be weak or a false breakout
💡 Tip:
Check the volume histogram or a volume-based indicator (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV).
On a BUY signal: volume should spike above the recent average.
On a SELL signal: watch for strong selling volume bars.
📍 Adding Support & Resistance for Precision
Support and resistance levels help filter out bad trades and optimize entries:
Best BUY setups:
EMA 135 crosses above EMA 315 near a known support zone
Bonus if volume confirms the move
Avoid buying directly into a strong resistance
Best SELL setups:
EMA 135 crosses below EMA 315 near a known resistance zone
Bonus if selling volume is strong
Avoid selling directly into a major support
💡 Use tools like horizontal lines, previous highs/lows, and Volume Profile nodes to spot these zones.
📈 Best Usage Practices
Timeframes
Lower timeframes (1m–5m) → more signals, but more noise → best for scalping with extra filters
Always Combine With Confirmation
EMA Cross = Trigger
Volume spike = Confirmation
S/R zone in your favor = High-probability setup
Manage Risk
Start with the built-in TP/SL
Adjust SL if volatility is higher than usual
Consider trailing stop once price moves in your favor
Avoid Sideways Markets
If EMA gap % is very small and crosses happen often → stand aside until a clear direction forms
Use Alerts
Set alerts for BUY & SELL crosses so you never miss a setup
In short:
This isn’t just an EMA cross indicator — it’s a trend system with built-in risk management, strength measurement, and pre-trade preparation. Combine it with volume confirmation and smart use of support/resistance, and you turn a simple signal into a high-probability trading edge.

Blue Ocean BOATS 24/5 US Market DataThis script utilizes Blue Ocean's ATS (Alternative Trading System) and U.S. exchange market data to create a continuous candlestick chart. The continuous data has the option to be used as an indicator or strategy source.
Requirements
The main chart symbol (which can be unrelated to the user-input Ticker Symbol) needs to be a 24/7 chart. An example symbol is CRYPTO:BTCUSD. CME_MINI:ES1! and FX:SPX500 work too, but are not truly 24/5 and will miss ~4 hours of the total trading week from the extended U.S. session.
The main chart's timeframe needs to be intraday. Because the script's output is currently inconsistent on daily or higher timeframes, it will disable itself.
The Ticker Symbol chosen should be a ticker that is traded on U.S. exchanges. This will provide both U.S. extended session data and a BOATS equivalent.
Usage & configuration
This script visualizes the 24-hour Monday-Friday chart of a U.S. exchange ticker. Going a step further, it can be used to compare the performance indices or cryptocurrencies to stock constituents of indices, cryptocurrency treasury stocks or holding ETFs.
The script's output, candlesticks, can be overlaid on the main chart or used as is. A "Price Source" plot is used for indicators or strategies.
Ticker Symbol: The U.S. ticker you'd like to view extended session and Blue Ocean ATS session data for.
Price Source: Price source that can be used for indicators or strategies.
Highlight Sessions: Highlight the different trading sessions.
Last Price Line: Show a horizontal line at the last traded price.
Ticker Symbol Check: Plots a label that will display only if the selected Ticker Symbol is not detected as a U.S. exchange traded ticker.
Earnings Label: Creates a label at the time of past earnings of the chosen Ticker Symbol. The time that the earnings are plotted is approximate. Because of this, the label is meant as an explanation for price action.
What this script does and how it works
It creates OHLC candlesticks by merging Blue Ocean's ATS market data and U.S. exchange data. From the OHLC data of both, a single output can be used for indicators or strategies.

Hours mentioned are in Eastern Time.
Overnight trading remains far less active than extended hours trading. The hour with the highest overnight volume is 9:00PM, which averages 2.94 million shares per day and coincides with several Asian market opens. This volume is a fraction of the last hour of extended hours trading, which averages 43.22 million shares. The first hour of pre-core reported volume averages 113.30 million shares per day.
Overnight executions, in addition to the peak in the 9:00PM hour, also exhibits a smaller peak at 3:00AM, of 2.35 million shares. This coincides with several Asian bourses’ end of their regular trading day.
Example of using the script in the main chart window and the difference in how RSI may be calculated.
Note: ATS is not the name of the 20:00 to 4:00 ET session itself, and the term refers to a broader definition of trading systems that include dark pools, which can be different.
24/5 Monday-Friday really means NY time Sunday night to Friday afternoon.

OB/OS adaptative v1.1# OB/OS Adaptative v1.1 - Multi-Timeframe Adaptive Overbought/Oversold Indicator
## Overview
The `tradingview_indicator_emas.pine` script is a sophisticated multi-timeframe indicator designed to identify dynamic overbought and oversold levels in financial markets. It combines EMA (Exponential Moving Average) crossovers and Bollinger Bands across monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes to create adaptive support and resistance levels that adjust to changing market conditions.
## Core Functionality
### Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator analyzes three timeframes simultaneously:
- **Monthly (M)**: Long-term trend identification
- **Weekly (W)**: Intermediate-term trend identification
- **Daily (D)**: Short-term volatility measurement
### Technical Indicators Used
- **EMA 9 and EMA 20**: For trend identification and momentum assessment
- **Bollinger Bands (20-period)**: For volatility measurement and extreme level identification
- **Price action**: For confirmation of level validity and signal generation
## Key Features
### Adaptive Level Calculation
The indicator dynamically determines overbought and oversold levels based on market structure and trend bias:
#### Monthly Level Logic
- **Bullish Bias** (when monthly open > EMA20):
- Oversold = lower of EMA9 or EMA20
- Overbought = upper of EMA9 or Bollinger Upper Band
- **Bearish/Neutral Bias** (when monthly open ≤ EMA20):
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = upper of EMA20 or EMA9
#### Weekly Level Logic
- **Bullish Bias** (when weekly open > EMA20):
- Oversold = lower of EMA9 or EMA20
- Overbought = Bollinger Upper Band
- **Bearish/Neutral Bias** (when weekly open ≤ EMA20):
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = upper of EMA20 or EMA9
#### Daily Level Logic
- Simple Bollinger Bands:
- Oversold = Bollinger Lower Band
- Overbought = Bollinger Upper Band
### Final Level Determination
The indicator combines all three timeframes through a weighted averaging process:
1. Calculates initial values as the average of monthly, weekly, and daily levels
2. Ensures mathematical consistency by enforcing overbought_final ≥ oversold_final using min/max functions
3. Calculates a midpoint average level as the center of the range
### Visual Elements
- **Dynamic Lines**: Draws horizontal lines for current and previous period overbought, oversold, and average levels
- **Labels**: Places clear textual labels at the start of each period
- **Color Coding**:
- Red for overbought levels (resistance)
- Green for oversold levels (support)
- Blue for average levels (pivot point)
- **Transparency**: Previous period lines use semi-transparent colors to distinguish between current and historical levels
### Update Mechanism
- **Calculation Day**: User-defined day of the week (default: Monday)
- On the specified calculation day, the indicator:
- Updates all levels based on previous bar's data
- Draws new lines extending forward for a user-defined number of days
- Maintains previous period lines for comparison and trend analysis
- Automatically deletes and recreates lines to ensure clean visualization
### Proximity Detection
- Alerts when price approaches overbought/oversold levels (configurable distance in percentage)
- Helps identify potential reversal zones before actual crossovers occur
- Distance thresholds are user-configurable for both overbought and oversold conditions
### Alert Conditions
The indicator provides four distinct alert types:
1. **Cross below oversold**: Triggered when price crosses below the oversold level

The OB/OS Adaptative v1.1 indicator represents a sophisticated approach to identifying market extremes by combining multiple technical analysis concepts. Its adaptive nature makes it particularly useful in trending markets where static levels may be less effective. The multi-timeframe approach provides a comprehensive view of market structure, while the visual elements and alert system enhance its practical utility for active traders.
Reversal Point Dynamics⇋ Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD)
This is not an indicator; it is a complete system for deconstructing the mechanics of a market reversal. Reversal Point Dynamics (RPD) moves far beyond simplistic pattern recognition, venturing into a deep analysis of the underlying forces that cause trends to exhaust, pause, and turn. It is engineered from the ground up to identify high-probability reversal points by quantifying the confluence of market dynamics in real-time.
Where other tools provide a static signal, RPD delivers a dynamic probability. It understands that a true market turning point is not a single event, but a cascade of failing momentum, structural breakdown, and a shift in market order. RPD's core engine meticulously analyzes each of these dynamic components—the market's underlying state, its velocity and acceleration, its degree of chaos (entropy), and its structural framework. These forces are synthesized into a single, unified Probability Score, offering you an unprecedented, transparent view into the conviction behind every potential reversal.
This is not a "black box" system. It is an open-architecture engine designed to empower the discerning trader. Featuring real-time signal projection, an integrated Fibonacci R2R Target Engine, and a comprehensive dashboard that acts as your Dynamics Control Center , RPD gives you a complete, holistic view of the market's state.
The Theoretical Core: Deconstructing Market Dynamics
RPD's analytical power is born from the intelligent synthesis of multiple, distinct theoretical models. Each pillar of the engine analyzes a different facet of market behavior. The convergence of these analyses—the "Singularity" event referenced in the dashboard—is what generates the final, high-conviction probability score.
1. Pillar One: Quantum State Analysis (QSA)
This is the foundational analysis of the market's current state within its recent context. Instead of treating price as a random walk, QSA quantizes it into a finite number of discrete "states."
Formulaic Concept: The engine establishes a price range using the highest high and lowest low over the Adaptive Analysis Period. This range is then divided into a user-defined number of Analysis Levels. The current price is mapped to one of these states (e.g., in a 9-level system, State 0 is the absolute low, and State 8 is the absolute high).
Analytical Edge: This acts as a powerful foundational filter. The engine will only begin searching for reversal signals when the market has reached a statistically stretched, extreme state (e.g., State 0 or 8). The Edge Sensitivity input allows you to control exactly how close to this extreme edge the price must be, ensuring you are trading from points of maximum potential exhaustion.
2. Pillar Two: Price State Roc (PSR) - The Dynamics of Momentum
This pillar analyzes the kinetic forces of the market: its velocity and acceleration. It understands that it’s not just where the price is, but how it got there that matters.
Formulaic Concept: The psr function calculates two derivatives of price.
Velocity: (price - price ). This measures the speed and direction of the current move.
Acceleration: (velocity - velocity ). This measures the rate of change in that speed. A negative acceleration (deceleration) during a strong rally is a critical pre-reversal warning, indicating momentum is fading even as price may be pushing higher.
Analytical Edge: The engine specifically hunts for exhaustion patterns where momentum is clearly decelerating as price reaches an extreme state. This is the mechanical signature of a weakening trend.
3. Pillar Three: Market Entropy Analysis - The Dynamics of Order & Chaos
This is RPD's chaos filter, a concept borrowed from information theory. Entropy measures the degree of randomness or disorder in the market's price action.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateEntropy function analyzes recent price changes. A market moving directionally and smoothly has low entropy (high order). A market chopping back and forth without direction has high entropy (high chaos). The value is normalized between 0 and 1.
Analytical Edge: The most reliable trades occur in low-entropy, ordered environments. RPD uses the Entropy Threshold to disqualify signals that attempt to form in chaotic, unpredictable conditions, providing a powerful shield against whipsaw markets.
4. Pillar Four: The Synthesis Engine & Probability Calculation
This is where all the dynamic forces converge. The final probability score is a weighted calculation that heavily rewards confluence.
Formulaic Concept: The calculateProbability function intelligently assembles the final score:
A Base Score is established from trend strength and entropy.
An Entropy Score adds points for low entropy (order) and subtracts for high entropy (chaos).
A significant Divergence Bonus is awarded for a classic momentum divergence.
RSI & Volume Bonuses are added if momentum oscillators are in extreme territory or a volume spike confirms institutional interest.
MTF & Adaptive Bonuses add further weight for alignment with higher timeframe structure.
Analytical Edge: A signal backed by multiple dynamic forces (e.g., extreme state + decelerating momentum + low entropy + volume spike) will receive an exponentially higher probability score. This is the very essence of analyzing reversal point dynamics.
The Command Center: Mastering the Inputs
Every input is a precise lever of control, allowing you to fine-tune the RPD engine to your exact trading style, market, and timeframe.
🧠 Core Algorithm
Predictive Mode (Early Detection):
What It Is: Enables the engine to search for potential reversals on the current, unclosed bar.
How It Works: Analyzes intra-bar acceleration and state to identify developing exhaustion. These signals are marked with a ' ? ' and are tentative.
How To Use It: Enable for scalping or very aggressive day trading to get the earliest possible indication. Disable for swing trading or a more conservative approach that waits for full bar confirmation.
Live Signal Mode (Current Bar):
What It Is: A highly aggressive mode that plots tentative signals with a ' ! ' on the live bar based on projected price and momentum. These signals repaint intra-bar.
How It Works: Uses a linear regression projection of the close to anticipate a reversal.
How To Use It: For advanced users who use intra-bar dynamics for execution and understand the nature of repainting signals.
Adaptive Analysis Period:
What It Is: The main lookback period for the QSA, PSR, and Entropy calculations. This is the engine's "memory."
How It Works: A shorter period makes the engine highly sensitive to local price swings. A longer period makes it focus only on major, significant market structure.
How To Use It: Scalping (1-5m): 15-25. Day Trading (15m-1H): 25-40. Swing Trading (4H+): 40-60.
Fractal Strength (Bars):
What It Is: Defines the strength of the pivot detection used for confirming reversal events.
How It Works: A value of '2' requires a candle's high/low to be more extreme than the two bars to its left and right.
How To Use It: '2' is a robust standard. Increase to '3' for an even stricter definition of a structural pivot, which will result in fewer signals.
MTF Multiplier:
What It Is: Integrates pivot data from a higher timeframe for confluence.
How It Works: A multiplier of '4' on a 15-minute chart will pull pivot data from the 1-hour chart (15 * 4 = 60m).
How To Use It: Set to a multiple that corresponds to your preferred higher timeframe for contextual analysis.
🎯 Signal Settings
Min Probability %:
What It Is: Your master quality filter. A signal is only plotted if its score exceeds this threshold.
How It Works: Directly filters the output of the final probability calculation.
How To Use It: High-Quality (80-95): For A+ setups only. Balanced (65-75): For day trading. Aggressive (50-60): For scalping.
Min Signal Distance (Bars):
What It Is: A noise filter that prevents signals from clustering in choppy conditions.
How It Works: Enforces a "cooldown" period of N bars after a signal.
How To Use It: Increase in ranging markets to focus on major swings. Decrease on lower timeframes.
Entropy Threshold:
What It Is: Your "chaos shield." Sets the maximum allowable market randomness for a signal.
How It Works: If calculated entropy is above this value, the signal is invalidated.
How To Use It: Lower values (0.1-0.5): Extremely strict. Higher values (0.7-1.0): More lenient. 0.85 is a good balance.
Adaptive Entropy & Aggressive Mode:
What It Is: Toggles for dynamically adjusting the engine's core parameters.
How It Works: Adaptive Entropy can slightly lower the required probability in strong trends. Aggressive Mode uses more lenient settings across the board.
How To Use It: Keep Adaptive on. Use Aggressive Mode sparingly, primarily for scalping highly volatile assets.
📊 State Analysis
Analysis Levels:
What It Is: The number of discrete "states" for the QSA.
How It Works: More levels create a finer-grained analysis of price location.
How To Use It: 6-7 levels are ideal. Increasing to 9 can provide more precision on very volatile assets.
Edge Sensitivity:
What It Is: Defines how close to the absolute top/bottom of the range price must be.
How It Works: '0' means price must be in the absolute highest/lowest state. '3' allows a signal within the top/bottom 3 states.
How To Use It: '3' provides a good balance. Lower it to '1' or '0' if you only want to trade extreme exhaustion.
The Dashboard: Your Dynamics Control Center
The dashboard provides a transparent, real-time view into the engine's brain. Use it to understand the context behind every signal and to gauge the current market environment at a glance.
🎯 UNIFIED PROB SCORE
TOTAL SCORE: The highest probability score (either Peak or Valley) the engine is currently calculating. This is your main at-a-glance conviction metric. The "Singularity" header refers to the event where market dynamics align—the event RPD is built to detect.
Quality: A human-readable interpretation of the Total Score. "EXCEPTIONAL" (🌟) is a rare, A+ confluence event. "STRONG" (💪) is a high-quality, tradable setup.
📊 ORDER FLOW & COMPONENT ANALYSIS
Volume Spike: Shows if the current volume is significantly higher than average (YES/NO). A 'YES' adds major confirmation.
Peak/Valley Conf: This breaks down the probability score into its directional components, showing you the separate confidence levels for a potential top (Peak) versus a bottom (Valley).
🌌 MARKET STRUCTURE
HTF Trend: Shows the direction of the underlying trend based on a Supertrend calculation.
Entropy: The current market chaos reading. "🔥 LOW" is an ideal, ordered state for trading. "😴 HIGH" is a warning of choppy, unpredictable conditions.
🔮 FIB & R2R ZONE (Large Dashboard)
This section gives you the status of the Fibonacci Target Engine. It shows if an Active Channel (entry zone) or Stop Zone (invalidation zone) is active and displays the precise price levels for the static entry, target, and stop calculated at the time of the signal.
🛡️ FILTERS & PREDICTIVES (Large Dashboard)
This panel provides a status check on all the bonus filters. It shows the current RSI Status, whether a Divergence is present, and if a Live Pending signal is forming.
The Visual Interface: A Symphony of Data
Every visual element is designed for instant, intuitive interpretation of market dynamics.
Signal Markers: These are the primary outputs of the engine.
▼/▲ b: A fully confirmed signal that has passed all filters.
? b: A tentative signal generated in Predictive Mode, indicating developing dynamics.
◈ b: This diamond icon replaces the standard triangle when the signal is confirmed by a strong momentum divergence, highlighting it as a superior setup where dynamics are misaligned with price.
Harmonic Wave: The flowing, colored wave around the price.
What It Represents: The market's "flow dynamic" and volatility.
How to Interpret It: Expanding waves show increasing volatility. The color is tied to the "Quantum Color" in your theme, representing the underlying energy field of the market.
Entropy Particles: The small dots appearing above/below price.
What They Represent: A direct visualization of the "order dynamic."
How to Interpret Them: Their presence signifies a low-entropy, ordered state ideal for trading. Their color indicates the direction of momentum (PSR velocity). Their absence means the market is too chaotic (high entropy).
The Fibonacci Target Engine: The dynamic R2R system appearing post-signal.
Static Fib Levels: Colored horizontal lines representing the market's "structural dynamic."
The Green "Active Channel" Box: Your zone of consideration. An area to manage a potential entry.
Development Philosophy
Reversal Point Dynamics was engineered to answer a fundamental question: can we objectively measure the forces behind a market turn? It is a synthesis of concepts from market microstructure, statistics, and information theory. The objective was never to create a "perfect" system, but to build a robust decision-support tool that provides a measurable, statistical edge by focusing on the principle of confluence.
By demanding that multiple, independent market dynamics align simultaneously, RPD filters out the vast majority of market noise. It is designed for the trader who thinks in terms of probability and risk management, not in terms of certainties. It is a tool to help you discount the obvious and bet on the unexpected alignment of market forces.
"Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected."

Williams FractalsBoaBias Fractals High & Lows is an indicator based on Bill Williams' fractals that helps identify key support and resistance levels on the chart. It displays horizontal lines at fractal highs (red) and lows (green), which extend to the current bar. Lines automatically disappear if the price breaks through them, leaving only the relevant levels. Additionally, the indicator shows the price values of active fractals on the price scale for convenient monitoring.
Key Features:
Customizable Fractals: Choose between 3-bar or 5-bar fractals (default: 3-bar).
Period: Adjust the number of periods for calculation
Visualization: Red lines for highs (resistance), green for lows (support). Lines are fixed on the chart and persist during scrolling or scaling changes.
Alert System: Notifications for the formation of a new fractal high/low and for level breaks (Fractal High Formed, Fractal Low Formed, Fractal High Broken, Fractal Low Broken).
How to Use:
Add the indicator to the chart.
Configure parameters: select the fractal type (3 or 5 bars) and period.
Set up alerts in TradingView to receive notifications about new fractals or breaks.
Use the lines as levels for entry/exit positions, stop-losses, or take-profits in fractal-based strategies.
Troubleshooting: If Levels Are Not Fixed on the Chart
If the levels (fractal lines) do not stay fixed on the chart and fail to move with it during scrolling or scaling (e.g., they remain stationary while the chart shifts), this is typically due to the indicator's scale settings in TradingView. The indicator may be set to "No scale," causing the lines to desynchronize from the chart's price scale.
What to Do:
Locate the Indicator Label: On the chart, find the indicator label in the top-left corner of the pane (or where "BoaBias Fractals High & Lows" is displayed).
Right-Click the Label: Click the right mouse button on this label.
Adjust the Scale:
In the context menu, look for the "Scale" or "Pin to scale" option.
If it shows "Pin to scale (now no scale)" or similar, select "Pin to right scale" (or "Pin to left scale," depending on your chart's main price scale—usually the right).
Refresh the Chart: After changing the setting, refresh the chart (press F5 or reload the page), or toggle the indicator off and on again to apply the changes.
After this, the lines should move and scale with the chart during scrolling (horizontal or vertical) or zooming. If the issue persists, check:
TradingView Limits: The indicator may draw too many lines (maximum ~500 per script). If there are many historical fractals, older lines might not display.
Chart Settings: Ensure the chart is not in logarithmic scale (if applicable) or that auto-scaling is enabled.
Indicator Version: Verify you are using the latest script version (Pine Script v6) and check for errors in the TradingView console.
This indicator is ideal for traders working with Bill Williams' chaos theory or those seeking dynamic support/resistance levels. It is based on standard fractals but with enhancements for convenience: automatic removal of broken levels and integration with the price scale.
Note: The indicator does not provide trading signals on its own — use it in combination with other tools. Test on historical data before real trading.

Clean ATR LevelsSimple 14D ATR +1 & -1 display from PM to Close.
The Clean ATR Levels indicator is a powerful Pine Script tool designed to provide traders with dynamic support and resistance levels based on the Average True Range (ATR) calculation. This indicator automatically draws horizontal lines that represent key price levels where significant market reactions are likely to occur, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points throughout the trading session.
The core functionality centers around calculating ATR levels using the most recent daily close as the reference point. The script draws two primary levels: an upper level at +100% ATR above the current close and a lower level at -100% ATR below the current close. These levels represent statistically significant price zones where the market has historically shown increased volatility and potential reversal patterns. Additionally, the indicator includes an optional previous close line that serves as a psychological reference point for intraday price action.
What sets this indicator apart is its intelligent session management and clean visual presentation. The lines are automatically redrawn at the start of each new trading day and are programmed to extend precisely until 4 PM EST market close, eliminating visual clutter on the chart. This session-aware approach ensures that traders are always working with the most relevant levels for the current trading day without having outdated lines extending unnecessarily into future sessions.
The indicator also features a comprehensive information table that displays real-time values for the ATR calculation, current close price, and both upper and lower ATR levels. This provides traders with exact numerical references without having to manually calculate these critical values. The script is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust the ATR period, line colors, widths, and choose whether to display the previous close reference line, making it adaptable to various trading styles and visual preferences.
Previous Candle High/Low (Clean)✅ Creates one horizontal line for the previous candle’s high (green).

✅ The lines update on each new candle, always following the most recent previous high/low.
✅ The lines are extended to the right — they don’t stack or clutter the chart.
✅ Works on all timeframes.
NY HIGH LOW BREAKNY HIGH LOW BREAK: A New York Session Breakout Strategy
The "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" indicator is a powerful TradingView script designed to identify and capitalize on breakout opportunities during the New York trading session. This strategy focuses on the initial price action of the New York market open, looking for clear breaches of the high or low established within the first 30 minutes. It's particularly suited for intraday traders who seek to capture momentum-driven moves.
Strategy Logic
The core of the "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" strategy revolves around these key components:
New York Session Opening Range Identification:
The script first identifies the opening range of the New York session. This is defined by the high and low prices established during the first 30 minutes of the New York trading session (from 7:01 AM GMT-4 to 7:31 AM GMT-4).
These crucial levels are then extended forward on the chart as horizontal lines, serving as potential support and resistance zones.
Breakout Signal Generation:
Long Signal: A buy signal is generated when the price breaks above the high of the New York opening range. Specifically, it looks for a candle whose open and close are both above the highLinePrice, and importantly, the previous candle's open was below and close was above the highLinePrice. This indicates a strong upward momentum confirming the breakout.
Short Signal: Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the price breaks below the low of the New York opening range. It looks for a candle whose open and close are both below the lowLinePrice, and the previous candle's open was above and close was below the lowLinePrice. This suggests strong downward momentum confirming the breakdown.
Supertrend Filter (Implicit/Future Enhancement):
While the supertrend and direction variables are present in the code, they are not actively used in the current signal generation logic. This suggests a potential future enhancement where the Supertrend indicator could be incorporated as a trend filter to confirm breakout directions, adding an extra layer of confluence to the signals. For example, only taking long breakouts when Supertrend indicates an uptrend, and short breakouts when Supertrend indicates a downtrend.
Second Candle Confirmation (Possible Future Enhancement):
The close_sec_candle function and openSEC, closeSEC variables indicate an attempt to capture the open and close of a "second candle" (30 minutes after the initial New York open). Currently, closeSEC is used in a specific condition for signal_way but not directly in the primary longSignal or shortSignal logic. This also suggests a potential future refinement where the price action of this second candle could be used for further confirmation or specific entry criteria.
Time-Based Filtering:
Signals are only considered valid within a specific trading window from 8:00 AM GMT-4 to 8:00 AM GMT-4 + 16 * 30 minutes (which is 480 minutes, or 8 hours) on 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes. This ensures that trades are taken during the most active and volatile periods of the New York session, avoiding late-session chop.
The script also highlights the New York session and lunch hours using background colors, providing visual context to the trading day.
Key Features
Automated New York Open Range Detection: The script automatically identifies and plots the high and low of the first 30 minutes of the New York trading session.
Clear Breakout Signals: Visually distinct "BUY" and "SELL" labels appear on the chart when a breakout occurs, making it easy to spot trading opportunities.
Timeframe Adaptability: While optimized for 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes for signal generation, the opening range lines can be displayed on various timeframes.
Customizable Risk-to-Reward (RR): The rr input allows users to define their preferred risk-to-reward ratio for potential trades, although it's not directly implemented in the current signal or trade management logic. This could be used by traders for manual trade management.
Visual Session and Lunch Highlights: The script colors the background to clearly delineate the New York trading session and the lunch break, helping traders understand the market context.
How to Use
Apply the Indicator: Add the "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" indicator to your chart on TradingView.
Select a Relevant Timeframe: For optimal signal generation, use 1-minute or 5-minute timeframes.
Observe the Opening Range: The green and red lines represent the high and low of the first 30 minutes of the New York session.
Look for Breakouts: Wait for price to decisively break above the green line (for a buy) or below the red line (for a sell).
Confirm Signals: The "BUY" or "SELL" labels will appear on the chart when the breakout conditions are met within the active trading window.
Implement Your Risk Management: Use your preferred risk management techniques, including stop-loss and take-profit levels, in conjunction with the signals generated. The rr input can guide your manual risk-to-reward calculations.
Potential Enhancements & Considerations
Supertrend Confirmation: Integrating the supertrend variable to filter signals would significantly enhance the strategy's robustness by aligning trades with the prevailing trend.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Automation: The rr input currently serves as a manual guide. Future versions could integrate automated stop-loss and take-profit placement based on this ratio, potentially using ATR for dynamic sizing.
Volume Confirmation: Adding a volume filter to confirm breakouts would ensure that only high-conviction moves are traded.
Backtesting and Optimization: Thorough backtesting across various assets and market conditions is crucial to determine the optimal settings and profitability of this strategy.
Session Times: The current session times are hardcoded. Making these user-definable inputs would allow for greater flexibility across different time zones and trading preferences.
The "NY HIGH LOW BREAK" is a straightforward yet effective strategy for capturing initial New York session momentum. By focusing on clear breakout levels, it aims to provide timely and actionable trading signals for intraday traders.

⏱️ Session Logic
• The ORB range is calculated during a defined session window (default: 09:15–09:30).
• During this window, the highest high and lowest low are recorded as ORB High and ORB Low.
📈 Breakout Detection
• Breakout Above: Triggered when price crosses above the ORB High.
• Breakout Below: Triggered when price crosses below the ORB Low.
• Each breakout can trigger:
• A background highlight (green/red)
• A text label (“Breakout ↑” / “Breakout ↓”)
• An optional alert
🔔 Alerts
Two built-in alert conditions:
1. Breakout Above ORB High
• Message: "🔼 Price broke above ORB High: {{close}}"
2. Breakout Below ORB Low
• Message: "🔽 Price broke below ORB Low: {{close}}"
You can create alerts in TradingView by selecting these from the Add Alert window.
📌 Best Use Cases

RSI Games 1.2he "RSI Games 1.2" indicator enhances the standard RSI by adding several layers of analysis:
Standard RSI Calculation: It calculates the RSI based on a configurable length (default 14 periods) and a user-selected source (default close price).
RSI Bands: It plots horizontal lines at 70 (red, overbought), 50 (yellow, neutral), and 30 (green, oversold) to easily identify extreme RSI levels.
RSI Smoothing with Moving Averages (MAs) and Bollinger Bands (BBs):
You can apply various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to smooth the RSI line.
If you choose "SMA + Bollinger Bands," the indicator will also plot Bollinger Bands around the smoothed RSI, providing dynamic overbought/oversold levels based on volatility.
The RSI line itself changes color based on whether it's above (green) or below (red) its smoothing MA.
It also fills the area between the RSI and its smoothing MA, coloring it green when RSI is above and red when below.
Bollinger Band Signals: When Bollinger Bands are enabled, the indicator marks "Buy" signals (green arrow up) when the RSI crosses above the lower Bollinger Band and "Sell" signals (red arrow down) when it crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
Background Coloring: The background of the indicator pane changes to light green when RSI is below 30 (oversold) and light red when RSI is above 70 (overbought), visually highlighting extreme conditions.
Divergence Detection: This is a key feature. The indicator automatically identifies and labels:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low. This often signals a potential reversal to the upside.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high. This often signals a potential reversal to the downside.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes a higher low, but RSI makes a lower low. This can indicate a continuation of an uptrend.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes a lower high, but RSI makes a higher high. This can indicate a continuation of a downtrend.
Divergences are visually marked with labels and can trigger alerts.
MTF Pivot Fib Speed Resistance FansOverview
This Pine Script indicator, titled "MTF Pivot Fib Speed Resistance Fans", is a multi-timeframe tool that automatically plots Fib Speed Resistance Fan lines based on pivot structures derived from higher timeframes. It mirrors the functionality of TradingView’s built-in “Fib Speed Resistance Fan” drawing tool, but in a dynamic, programmatic way. It uses pivot highs and lows to anchor fan projections, drawing forward-facing trend lines that align with well-known Fibonacci ratios and their extensions.
Pivot Detection Logic
The script identifies pivots by comparing the current bar’s high and low against the highest and lowest prices over a user-defined pivot period. This pivot detection occurs on a higher timeframe of your choice, giving a broader and more strategic view of price structure. The script tracks direction changes in the pivot trend and stores only the most recent few pivots to maintain clean and meaningful fan drawings.
Fan Direction Control
The user can select whether to draw fans for "Buys", "Sells", or "Both". The script only draws fan lines when a new directional move is detected based on the pivot structure and the selected bias. For example, in “Buys” mode, a rising pivot followed by another higher low will trigger upward fan projections.
Fib Speed Resistance Levels
Once two pivots are identified, the script draws multiple fan lines from the first pivot outward, at angles defined by a preset list of Fibonacci levels. These fan lines help visualize speed and strength of a price move.
The script also draws a horizontal line from the pivot for additional confluence at the base level (1.0).
Price Level Plotting
In addition to drawing fan lines, the indicator also plots their price levels on the right-hand price scale. This makes it easier for users to visually reference the projected support and resistance levels without needing to trace the lines manually across the chart.
Mapping to TradingView’s "Fib Speed Resistance Fan"
The expanded set of values used in this script is not arbitrary—they closely align with the default and extended levels available in TradingView's built-in "Fib Speed Resistance Fan" tool.
TradingView’s Fib Fan tool offers several levels by default, including traditional Fibonacci ratios like 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 1. However, if you right-click the tool and open its settings, you’ll find additional toggles for levels like 1.618, 2.000, 2.618, and even 4.000. These deeper levels are used to project stronger trend continuations beyond the standard retracement zones.
The inclusion of levels such as 0.25, 0.75, and 1.34 reflects configurations that are available when you manually add or customize levels in TradingView’s fan tool. While 1.34 is not a canonical Fibonacci ratio, it is often found in hybrid Gann/Fib methods and is included in some preset templates in TradingView’s drawing tool for advanced users.
By incorporating these levels directly into the Pine Script, the indicator faithfully reproduces the fan structure users would manually draw using TradingView’s graphical Fib Fan tool—but does so programmatically, dynamically, and with multi-timeframe control. This eliminates manual errors, allows for responsive updating, and adds custom visual tracking via the price scale.
These values are standardized within the context of TradingView's Fib Fan tool and not made up. This script automates what the manual drawing tool achieves, with added precision and flexibility.
