Feigenbaum ProjectionsThe theory of price delivery per Feigenbaum projections is credited to TRSTNGLRD, this indicator aims to aid traders from all backgrounds to utilize projections for determination of potential future price moves.
What follows is the simplest description of where to anchor the projection:
As price delivers and clears higher high (buy side liquidity) then reverses to clear most recent low (sell side liquidity), this becomes the anchorage point for the Feigenbaum projection and is referred to as perturbation. The start and end points for the projection should be only those candle bodies that wholly exist within the range within the high and low that were cleared by the perturbation, this range of candle bodies is to be considered the "initial condition". Structure that appears as a broadening formation is one such price delivery occurrence that can be utilized with these projections.
The projected zones are all pre-configured by TRSTNs specifications per Feigenbaum but can be adjusted if the need arises.
Price is expected to expand beyond the initial condition and into the negative and positive target zones, accuracy diminishes with further expansion and reevaluation should occur when a new perturbation is discovered.
It's recommended to explore various timeframes to find a perturbation by which to anchor the next Feigenbaum projection.
I'll do my best to update this description with time as more discoveries are made and TRSTNGLRD provides more guidance and feedback on this indicator.

SMC Structures and FVGThe SMC Structures and FVG indicator allows the user to easily identify trend continuations (Break Of Structure) or trend changes (CHange Of CHaracter) on any time frame. In addition, it display all FVG areas, whether they are bullish, bearish, or even mitigated.
Fair Value Gap :
The FVG process shows every bullish, bearish or even mitigated FVG liquidity area. When a FVG is fully mitigated it will directly be removed of the chart.
There is an history of FVG to show. By selecting specific number of FVG to show in the chart, the user can focus its analysis on lasts liquidity area.
Here's the rules for FVG color :
Green when it's a bullish FVG and has not been mitigated
Red when it's a bearish FVG and has not been mitigated
Gray when the bullish / bearish FVG has been mitigated
Removed when the FVG has been fully mitigated
Structures analysis:
The Structure process show BOS in grey lines and CHoCH in yellow lines. It shows to the user the lasts price action pattern.
The blue lines are the high value and the low value of the current structure.
Volume Delta Methods (Chart) [LuxAlgo]The Volume Delta Methods (Chart) aims at highlighting the relationship between Buying or Selling Pressure and Price by presenting Volume Delta , and multiple derivatives of volume delta such as Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) , Buy/Sell Volume , Total Volume , etc on top of the Main Price Chart .
The script uses two different intrabar (chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's) analyses to achieve the most approximate calculation of the volume delta and offers fully customizable visualization features using various types of charts such as line, area, baseline, candles, and histograms.
The script allows traders to see "within" the price bar, provides more transparency over a traditional volume histogram, and also allows users to monitor price and volume activity together.
🔶 USAGE
Volume delta is the difference between the buying volume and the selling volume, in other words, it is the net demand at a given bar allowing traders a more detailed insight when analyzing the market sentiment. A volume delta greater than 0 indicates more buying than selling pressure, whereas a volume delta less than 0 indicates more selling than buying pressure.
Volume delta plus total volume (regular volume) adds additional insight, where the total volume represents all the recorded trades for security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security.
Divergences occur when the polarity of the volume delta does not match the polarity of the price bar.
The users can enable the display of the numerical values of the volume delta.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a way of using Volume Delta to measure an asset’s mid-to-long-term buy and sell pressure. It compares buying and selling volume over time and offers insights into market behavior at specific price points. Cumulative Volume Delta is effectively a continuation of the principles of Volume Delta but involves longer time periods and offers different trading signals.
Like the Volume Delta, the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator measures the relationship between buy and sell pressure but does not focus on one specific candle in particular. Rather, the Cumulative Volume Delta takes the relative differences and combines them all over an extended time period.
Users have the ability Cumulative Volume Delta in various types of charts along with an optional smoothing line.
Placed above price bars options.
Interacting with price bar options helps to better identify CVD Divergences.
CVD Divergences
CVD reveals buying and selling trends that may or may not complement the price trend of the asset itself. Sometimes, price trends can run in contrast to trading behavior — sell volume can be dominant while the spot price is rising, and vice versa.
🔶 DETAILS
Theoretically, volume delta is calculated by taking the difference between the volume that traded at the ask price and the volume that traded at the bid price. The most precise calculation method uses tick data but requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which usually limits the historical depth of charts. This indicator uses two different intrabar analysis methods for the volume delta calculation, where intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's timeframe:
The logic used to assign intrabar volume to the "up" or "down".
- Buying/Selling pressure of the intrabar option (default)
(close - low) > (high - close) => UP
(close - low) < (high - close) => DOWN
(close - low) = (high - close) => close - previous close is used
- Polarity of the intrabar option
close > open => UP
close < open => DOWN
close = open => close - previous close is used
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and performs calculations and presentations based on them, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.
🔹 Calculation Settings
Calculation Method: Calculation method selection, available options 'Intrabar Buying/Selling Pressure' or 'Intrabar Polarity'.

Fair Value Gap [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "Fair Value Gap" indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify and visualize areas of potential market gaps where leftover orders may reside. This indicator utilizes price action analysis, specifically focusing on fair value gaps that occur between the current candle and the candle two bars prior.
The Fair Value Gap indicator draws customizable zones on the chart, representing bullish or bearish areas with distinct green or red colors. These zones highlight market gaps where price action has left a void, indicating the possibility of significant order activity in that region.
Key Features:
Liquidity Zone: Utilize the Fair Value Gap zones as areas of liquidity, offering potential entry points for trades.
Support/Resistance Indicator: Configure the indicator to extend beyond the initial breakout or gap fill, allowing it to act as a support/resistance zone indicator.
The Fair Value Gap indicator has several adjustable settings to customize its behavior according to your trading preferences. These settings include:
Invalidation Outcome: Choose how the fair value gap zone is treated when it becomes invalidated. Options include:
-Stop Updating: Maintain the gap zone in its current state without further updates.
-Delete: Completely remove the fair value gap from the screen.
Invalidation Method: Determine the logic that invalidates the fair value gap. Options include:
-Gap Fill: Visually shrink the zone as price action closes the gap until it is completely filled, at which point it gets deleted entirely.
-Number Of Breakouts: Invalidate the gap after a certain number of breaks or flips over the zone's border. Configure the allowed number of breakouts with the "Breakouts Until Invalidation" input.
-Age Of Gap: Invalidate the gap after a specified number of bars have passed since its creation. Set the threshold with the "Bars Until Invalidation" input.
Color Customization: Customize the appearance of the fair value gap zones with various color inputs, including bullish and bearish border colors, middle line color (shared for both bullish and bearish gaps), bullish and bearish background colors.
Line Width: Adjust the width of the border lines and the center line within the fair value gap zone for better visual clarity.
Please note that the Fair Value Gap indicator is a valuable tool but should be used alongside other technical analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions. It does not guarantee profitable trades but aims to provide insights into potential areas of interest.
Discover opportunities within market gaps and leverage the power of leftover orders with the Fair Value Gap indicator—an indispensable asset in your trading toolkit.
Opening Range Gap + Std Dev [starclique]The ICT Opening Range Gap is a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader and is discussed in the videos: 'One Trading Setup For Life' and 2023 ICT Mentorship - Opening Range Gap Repricing Macro
ORGs, or Opening Range Gaps, are gaps that form only on the Regular Trading Hours chart.
The Regular Trading Hours gap occurs between 16:15 PM - 9:29 AM EST (UTC-4)
These times are considered overnight trading, so it is useful to filter the PA (price action) formed there.
The RTH option is only available for futures contracts and continuous futures from CME Group.
To change your chart to RTH, first things first, make sure you’re looking at a futures contract for an asset class, then on the bottom right of your chart, you’ll see ETH (by default) - Click on that, and change it to RTH.
Now your charts are filtering the price action that happened overnight.
To draw out your gap, use the Close of the 4:14 PM candle and the open of the 9:30 AM candle.
How is this concept useful?
Well, It can be used in many ways.

How To Use The ORG
One of the ways you can use the opening range gap is simply as support and resistance
If we extend out the ORG from the example above, we can see that there is a clean retest of the opening range gap high after breaking structure to the upside and showing acceptance outside of the gap after consolidating within it.
The ORG High (4:14 Candle Close in this case) was used as support.
We then see an expansion to the upside.
Another way to implement the ORG is by using it as a draw on liquidity (magnet for price)
In this example, if we looked to the left, there was a huge ORG to the downside, leaving a massive gap.
The market will want to rebalance that gap during the regular trading hours.
The market rallies higher, rejects, comes down to clear the current days ORG low, then closes.
That is one example of how you can combine liquidity & ICT market structure concepts with Opening Range Gaps to create a story in the charts.
Now let’s discuss standard deviations.
---
Standard Deviations
Standard Deviations are essentially projection levels for ranges / POIs (Point of Interests)
By this I mean, if you have a range, and you would like to see where it could potentially expand to, you’d place your fibonacci retracement tool on and high and low of the range, then use extension levels to find specific price points where price might reject from.
Since 0 and 1 are your Range High and Low respectively, your projection levels would be something like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, for the extension from your 1 Fib Level, and -0.5, -1, -1.5, and -2 for your 0 Fib level.
The -1 and 2 level produce a 1:1 projection of your range low and high, meaning, if you expect price to expand as much as it did from the range low to range high, then you can project a -1 and 2 on your Fib, and it would show you what ICT calls “symmetrical price”
Now, how are standard deviations relevant here?
Well, if you’ve been paying attention to ICT’s recent videos, you would’ve caught that he’s recently started using Standard Deviation levels on breakers.
So my brain got going while watching his video on ORGs, and I decided to place the fib on the ORG high and low and see what it’d produce.
The results were very interesting.
Using this same example, if we place our fib on the ORG High and Low, and add some projection levels, we can see that we rejected right at the -2 Standard Deviation Level.
---
You can see that I also marked out the EQ (Equilibrium, 50%, 0.5 of Fib) of the ORG. This is because we can use this level as a take profit level if we’re using an old ORG as our draw.
In days like these, where the gap formed was within a consolidation, and it continued to consolidate within the ORG zone that we extended, we can use the EQ in the same way we’d use an EQ for a range.
If it’s showing acceptance above the EQ, we are bullish, and expect the high of the ORG to be tapped, and vice versa.
---
Using The Indicator
Here’s where our indicator comes in play.
To avoid having to do all this work of zooming in and marking out the close and open of the respective ORG candles, we created the Opening Range Gap + Standard Deviations Indicator, with the help of our dedicated Star Clique coder, a1tmaniac.
With the ORG + STD DEV indicator, you will be able to view ORG’s and their projections on the ETH (Electronic Trading Hours) chart.

ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.
🔶 SETTINGS

Reversal Signals [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Signals indicator is a technical analysis tool that aims to identify when a trend is fading and potentially starting to reverse.
As a counter-trend tool, the Reversal Signals indicator aims to solve the problem of several technical analysis indicators that perform well during trending markets but struggle in ranging markets. By understanding the key concepts and applications of the tool, traders can enhance their market timing and improve their trading strategies.
Note: It's important to explore the settings of the indicator to customize to your own usage & display as there are various options available as covered below.
🔶 USAGE
The Reversal Signals indicator is comprised of two main phases: Momentum Phase and Trend Exhaustion Phase . These phases help identify potential trend reversals in bullish, bearish, and ranging markets.
🔹The Momentum Phase
The momentum phase consists of a 9-candle count and in rare cases 8-candle count. In a bullish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes higher than the close of a candle four periods ago. In a bearish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes lower than the close of a candle four periods ago.
The following numbers are plotted when each successive candle satisfies the four-period rule. The potential reversal point comes when the Reversal Signals plot a label on top of a candle in a bullish trend or at the bottom of a candle in a bearish trend. The momentum phase is immediately canceled if, at any point, a candle fails to satisfy the four-period rule.
Based on the extremes of the momentum phase, the Reversal Signals generate support & resistance levels as well as risk/stop levels.
🔹 The Trend Exhaustion Phase
The trend exhaustion phase starts after completing the momentum phase and consists of a 13-candle count. In a bullish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be greater than the close two periods earlier. In a bearish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be lower than the close two periods earlier.
The trend exhaustion phase does not require a consecutive sequence of candles; if the order of candles is interrupted, the trend exhaustion phase is not canceled. The trend exhaustion phase generates stronger trading signals than the momentum phase, with the potential for longer-lasting price reversals.
🔹 Trading Signals
The Reversal Signals script presents an overall setup and some phase-specific trade setup options, where probable trades might be considered. All phase-specific trade setups, presented as options, are triggered once the selected phase is completed and followed by a price flip in the direction of the trade setup.
Please note that those setups are presented for educational purposes only and do not constitutes professional and/or financial advice
- Momentum: Enter a trade at momentum phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) momentum phase pattern is complete. Ideally, the momentum phase completion should close near its support/resistance line but shall not be above them, which indicates continuation of the trend
- Exhaustion: Enter a trade on trend exhaustion phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase is complete
- Qualified: Buy (sell) when a bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase combined with another bullish (bearish) momentum phase sequence is complete
Long trade setups are presented with "L" label and short trade setups with "S" label, where the content of the label displays details related to the probable trade opportunity
Once a phase-specific trade setup is triggered then the Reversal Signals script keeps checking the status of the price action relative to the phase-specific trade setups and in case something goes wrong presents a caution label. Pay attention to the content of the caution labels as well as where they appear. A trade signal, followed immediately by a warning indication can be assumed as a continuation of the underlying trend and can be traded in the opposite direction of the suggested signal
It is strongly advised to confirm trading setups in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis, including technical indicators, chart/candlestick pattern analysis, etc.
🔶 DETAILS
The Reversal Signals script performs the detection of the phases by counting the candlestick meeting the specific conditions, which includes:
- Detection of the 8th and 9th candle perfection during the momentum phase
- In some cases, the 8th count will be assumed as momentum phase completion
- Trend exhaustion phase counting stops in case any type of momentum phase completion is detected during the counting process
- Postponing the last count of the trend exhaustion phase, the 13th candle must be below/above the 8th candle and if not the candles will be indicated with '+' sign under them and the script continues to search for a 13th candle at the next ones until the conditions are met
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Momentum / Trend Exhaustion phase completion
Support & Resistance level cross detection
Stop / Risk level cross detection
Long / Short Trade Setups are triggered
Please note, alerts are available with 'any alert() function call' and the alerts will be received only for the features that are enabled during alert configuration
🔶 SETTINGS

Volatility Weighted Moving Average + Session Average linesHi Traders !
Just finished my Y2 university finals exams, and thought I would cook up a quick and hopefully useful script.
VWAP + Session Average Lines :
Volatility Weighted Average Price in the standard case is a trading indicator that measures the average trading price for the user defined period, usually a standard session (D timeframe), & is used by traders as a trend confirmation tool.
This VWAP script allows for altering of the session to higher dimensions (D, W, M) or those of lower dimension (H4, or even H1 timeframes), furthermore this script allows the lookback of data to be switched from the standard session to a user defined amount of bars (e.g. the VWAP of 200 bars as opposed to the VWAP of a standard session which contains 95 bars in M15 timeframe for 24/7 traded assets e.g. BTCUSD), lastly this script plots Session VWAP Average Lines (if true in settings) so tradaes can gauge the area of highest liquidity within a session, this can be interpreted as the fair price within a session. If Average lines are increasing and decreasing consistently like a monotonic function this singles traders interest is at higher / lower prices respectively (Bullish / Bearish bias respectively ?), However if Average lines are centered around the same zones without any major fluctuations this signals a ranging market.
VWAP calculation :
VWAP is derived from the ratio of the assets value to total volume of transactions where value is the product of typical price (Average of high, low and close bars / candles) and corresponding bar volume, value can be thought of as the dollar value traded per bar.
How is VWAP used by Institutions / Market movers :
For some context and general information, VWAP is typically used by Market movers (e.g. Hedge funds, Mutual funds ,..., ...) in their trade execution, as trading at the VWAP equals the area of highest market volume, trading in line with the volume of the market reduces transaction costs by minimizing market impact (extra liquidity lowers spreads and lag time between order fills), this overall improves market efficiency.
In my opinion the script is best used with its standard settings on the M15 timeframe, note as of now the script is not functional on certain timeframes, however this script is not intended to be used in these timeframes, i will try fix this code bug as soon as possible.
Inside Bars (Multiple / Consecutive)Description
When an inside bar is found, the indicator remembers the high and low (= range) of the candle before the inside bar.
As long as price moves within the range, every bar is highlighted as an inside bar to the range.
Purpose
The indicator can assist when identifying valid pullbacks and buy-side liquidity (BSL) / sell-side liquidity (SSL).
QQQ Fair Value BandsThis is similar to the SPX Fair Value Bands indicator, but for QQQ.
It is based on the Net Liquidity model:

Stock Data Table█ OVERVIEW
This is a table that shows some information about stocks. It is divided into four sections:
1) Correlation
2) Shares
3) Daily Data
4) Extended Session Data
The table is completely modular, which means you can add or remove each element from the settings menu, and it will automatically rearrange its spaces.
It is also highly customizable, to the extent that you can change almost any color, remove or change titles, invert section rows, and much more.
1) Correlation
The script checks if the stock is listed on NASDAQ, and if so, uses the QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) as the reference index in the first cell; otherwise, it uses the SPY (S&P 500 ETF). The length of the correlation is shown in the second cell. The table then displays the correlation between the reference index and the other index, and the correlation between the reference index and the stock.
To make it easier to interpret the correlation values, each row's last cell is color-coded with a gradient to highlight the type of correlation, and the direction of the gradient can be customized.
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, indicating how changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other variable, so it can be used to identify patterns and trends.
If you are interested in correlation, I suggest taking a look at my dedicated indicator:
2) Shares
This feature provides you with quick access to key information about shares and market capitalization.
On one row, you can view the total shares outstanding and the market capitalization for the fiscal year or the quarterly year. The total shares outstanding represents the total number of shares of the stock that have been issued and are currently outstanding, regardless of whether they are held by insiders or public investors. The market capitalization is a widely used measure of the company's value as determined by the stock market, calculated by multiplying its current stock price with the total number of outstanding shares.
The other row shows the float, which is the number of shares of a company that are available for public trading, and the corresponding free-float market cap, calculated by multiplying the company's current stock price with the float. Because Pine Script does not allow retrieving information about quarterly year float, you can view the float and the free-float market cap of the fiscal year only. The data can be displayed at all times or only when the difference between the total shares outstanding and the float is significant enough to result in a difference between the market cap and free-float market cap.
The classification for market cap and free-float market cap is set in this way:
Mega Cap: $200 billion or more
Large Cap: between $10 billion and $200 billion
Mid Cap: between $2 billion and $10 billion
Small Cap: between $300 million and $2 billion
Micro Cap: less than $300 million
Penny Stocks: less than $5 (customizable)
Comparing the free-float market cap to the market cap can provide insights into the liquidity of a stock. In fact, if the float is relatively small compared to the total shares outstanding, it may be more difficult to find buyers or sellers, which could lead to increased volatility. On the other hand, a larger float indicates that the stock is more liquid and may be easier to trade, potentially resulting in lower volatility. However, market conditions can change quickly and significantly, especially for intraday traders, and the free-float can also change as insiders or other large shareholders buy or sell shares. Therefore, comparing the data of the fiscal year with that of the quarterly year may not provide the most up-to-date and accurate information for making trading decisions. This limitation can be mitigated by combining those data with other indicators and tools, such as technical analysis or news events, to gain a better understand of the stock's performance and potential trading opportunities.
3) Daily Data
This section is available on daily charts only due to the lack of accuracy of real-time daily data on other time frames. Here, you can view the Average Daily Volume (ADV) over a preferred time range (20 days by default), and the Daily Change, which represents the percentage difference between the closing price on two consecutive trading days.
ADV is useful in measuring the stock's volatility, as it provides an indication of how much trading activity there is in it. Generally speaking, stocks with higher trading volume tend to be less volatile than stocks with lower trading volume. High trading volume means there are more buyers and sellers actively trading the stock, which makes it easier for investors to buy and sell shares at fair prices. This increased liquidity can help to stabilize the stock price, reducing the potential for large swings in either direction. On the other hand, stocks with lower trading volume may experience greater volatility, as there are fewer buyers and sellers actively trading the stock. This can result in larger price swings, as it may be more difficult for investors to buy or sell shares at fair prices.
The daily percentage change can provide an indication of the stock's volatility, with larger values indicating greater volatility and risk. It can also be compared to that of a benchmark such an index or other stocks in the same sector, helping to determine whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming relative to them.
4) Extended Session Data
The fourth section is available on intraday charts only. This section provides two pieces of information: the Extended Session Change and the Pre-Market Volume.
The Extended Session Change indicates the percentage difference between the previous day's closing price and the latest price in the extended session. This gives you the extent and the direction of the price gap that occurred during extended trading hours.
The Pre-Market Volume shows the sum of all shares traded during the pre-market session. This can be helpful in understanding how much interest the stock gained before the market opened.
By default, the two rows will be visible at all times. They will stop updating after the end of their respective time range, and resume updating when it starts again. However, you can choose to automatically hide them outside of their time ranges.
Both the extended session and pre-market time ranges can be customized. Please note that if you select time ranges outside of the regular market session (as set by default), you must enable the extended session to view the corresponding rows.
█ GENERAL NOTES
• Total Shares Outstanding, Float, Average Daily Volume and Pre-Market Volume cells use a customizable color system based on two thresholds, to help you quickly identify whether the value is "too low/acceptable/too high" or "too low/not enough high/acceptable".
• If you cannot see certain data, that simply means it is not available.

What makes The Universe grow at an accelerating pace?
Dark Energy.
What makes The Economy grow at an accelerating pace?
Debt.
Debt is the Dark Energy of The Economy.
The CBDE Tracer is a tool that tracks currency assets in US dollars that can be scaled to fit other assets on TradingView.
The example provided is QQQ with scale factors and offsets applied that best curve fit to the most recent price action.
The white line is non-US assets from the following central banks:
-JPY (Japan)
-CNY (China)
-UK (British Pound)
-SNB (Swiss National Bank)
-ECB (European Central Bank )
The lime green line is for US Federal Reserve data including a midpoint of WRESBAL and the fed liquidity calculation (WALCL - WTREGEN) and then subtracting RRPONTSYD
The purple line is the average of the two, US assets, and non-US.
The settings can be configured so that only the average is showing, which should the closest aggregate of all liquidity data.
30MIN CYCLE█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
The known 90 min cycle is used as one killzone. But actually all 18 min are relevant to search for a trade. All 18 min when a new box starts only then is the placement of an order valid. If the entry candle isn't in a box then it will probably fail. The boxes should only be used in the M1 or M5 timeframe. The best hitrate is in the M1 timeframe. Included are the last 48 "Mini-Killzones" für intraday trading and backtesting. These "Mini-Killzones" can be used with the "Liquidity Inducement Strategy".
█ WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
This is the first indicator on tradingview that shows all mini-killzones for trading and backtesting a whole tradingday. The well-known killzones of ICT are from 08:00-11:00 and 14:00 - 17:00 (UTC+1) but with this indicator there is finally a refinement of the ICT Smart Money Concept killzones.
█ HOW TO USE IT?
For a proper use of this indicator we suggest to know already at least SMC or better Liquidity Indcuement Trading. This indicator is a further confluence before placing an order. After you made your setup you will have these mini-killzones as a confluence. We don't suggest to open a trade only according to this indicator.
█ ADDITIONAL INFO
This indicator is free to use for all tradingview users.

Day Trading Booster by DGTTiming when day trading can be everything
In Stock markets typically more volatility (or price activity) occurs at market opening and closings
When it comes to Forex (foreign exchange market), the world’s most traded market, unlike other financial markets, there is no centralized marketplace, currencies trade over the counter in whatever market is open at that time, where time becomes of more importance and key to get better trading opportunities. There are four major forex trading sessions, which are Sydney , Tokyo , London and New York sessions
Forex market is traded 24 hours a day, 5 days a week across by banks, institutions and individual traders worldwide, but that doesn’t mean it’s always active the entire day. It may be very difficult time trying to make money when the market doesn’t move at all. The busiest times with highest trading volume occurs during the overlap of the London and New York trading sessions, because U.S. dollar (USD) and the Euro (EUR) are the two most popular currencies traded. Typically most of the trading activity for a specific currency pair will occur when the trading sessions of the individual currencies overlap. For example, Australian Dollar (AUD) and Japanese Yen (JPY) will experience a higher trading volume when both Sydney and Tokyo sessions are open
There is one influence that impacts Forex matkets and should not be forgotten : the release of the significant news and reports. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, currency can lose or gain value within a matter of seconds
Cryptocurrency markets on the other hand remain open 24/7, even during public holidays
Until 2021, the Asian impact was so significant in Cryptocurrency markets but recent reasearch reports shows that those patterns have changed and the correlation with the U.S. trading hours is becoming a clear evolving trend.
Unlike any other market Crypto doesn’t rest on weekends, there’s a drop-off in participation and yet algorithmic trading bots and market makers (or liquidity providers) can create a high volume of activity. Never trust the weekend’ is a good thing to remind yourself
One more factor that needs to be taken into accout is Blockchain transaction fees, which are responsive to network congestion and can change dramatically from one hour to the next
In general, Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, which means that the price of a coin can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction
The Bottom Line
The more traders trading, the higher the trading volume, and the more active the market. The more active the market, the higher the liquidity (availability of counterparties at any given time to exit or enter a trade), hence the tighter the spreads (the difference between ask and bid price) and the less slippage (the difference between the expected fill price and the actual fill price) - in a nutshell, yield to many good trading opportunities and better order execution (a process of filling the requested buy or sell order)
The best time to trade is when the market is the most active and therefore has the largest trading volume, trading all day long will not only deplete a trader's reserves quickly, but it can burn out even the most persistent trader. Knowing when the markets are more active will give traders peace of mind, that opportunities are not slipping away when they take their eyes off the markets or need to get a few hours of sleep
What does the Day Trading Booster do?
Day Trading Booster is designed ;
- to assist in determining market peak times, the times where better trading opportunities may arise
- to assist in determining the probable trading opportunities
- to help traders create their own strategies. An example strategy of when to trade or not is presented below
For Forex markets specifically includes
- Opening channel of Asian session, Europien session or both
- Opening price, opening range (5m or 15m) and day (session) range of the major trading center sessions, including Frankfurt
- A tabular view of the major forex markets oppening/closing hours, with a countdown timer
- A graphical presentation of typically traded volume and various forext markets oppening/clossing events (not only the major markets but many other around the world)
For All type of markets Day Trading Booster plots
- Day (Session) Open, 5m, 15m or 1h Opening Range
- Day (Session) Referance Levels, based on Average True Range (ATR) or Previous Day (Session) Range (PH - PL)
- Week and Month Open
Day Trading Booster also includes some of the day trader's preffered indicaotrs, such as ;
- VWAP - A custom interpretaion of VWAP is presented here with Auto, Interactive and Manual anchoring options.
- Pivot High/Low detection - Another custom interpretation of Pivot Points High Low indicator.
- A Moving Average with option to choose among SMA, EMA, WMA and HMA
An example strategy - Channel Bearkout Strategy
When day trading a trader usually monitors/analyzes lower timeframe charts and from time to time may loose insight of what really happens on the market from higher time porspective. Do not to forget to look at the larger time frame (than the one chosen to trade with) which gives the bigger picture of market price movements and thus helps to clearly define the trend

PVSRA Volume Price - Some people say "Price Action is King". I say, we cannot know how the MMs (Market Makers) will move price next, period. But price tends to consolidate above key SR when MMs are filling short orders for SM (Smart Money) and long orders for DM (Dumb Money), and price tends to consolidate below key SR when MMs are filling long orders for SM and short orders for DM. The MMs are also "SM", and they tend to do the other SMs "one better"! This means that after the MMs fill the SM/DM orders, they might move price a bit further in an attempt to stop out some of those SM executed orders and sucker in more DM; both giving liquidity for the MMs to add to their own SM side position. Yes, the MMs are bastards. But the point is that could leave price not "nicely" above or below a SR anymore, yet more consolidation can occur.
Volume - Increases in activity denote increase in interest. But, is it long or short interest? Where is price in the bigger picture when this is happening? Is it at relative highs, or lows in the overall price action? And if a high volume bar is for a candle which you can examine by going to lower TF charts, you might see where in the spread of that candle the most volume occurred, high or low! Using volume is about taking note of relative increases in volume and what price is doing at the same time. Are the better volumes favoring the lower or the higher prices, as the MMs waffle price up and down? And do the volumes get particularly notable when the MMs take price above or below key SR?
S&R - Read all about S&R at "Baby Pips.com". What I want you to realize here is that the whole, half and quarter numbered price levels (hereinafter referred to as "Levels") are the most important SR of all in this market! Not because price stops, pauses, proceeds or reverses there, but because it is above or below these levels that important consolidation (MMs filling SM orders) takes place. Once SM long orders are filled, they become interested in placing orders to close them at higher prices, and hence the MMs will be moving price higher, eventually. Once SM short orders are filled, they become interested in placing orders to close them at lower prices, and hence the MMs will be moving price lower, eventually.
PVSRA - If we can spot consolidations above/below key SR, examine the overall price action on various TF charts, and take note of where the notable increases in volume have most recently occurred (did volume favor relative highs or lows), then we can build a consensus about what kind of orders the MMs have most recently been filling; buying to open longs or close shorts, or selling to open shorts or close longs. And we can get a better idea if things will next become bullish or bearish. And once PA confirms our bullish or bearish PVSRA results, by recognizing the importance of Levels we can look beyond current PA in the direction it is going and look to historic PA S&R (consolidation around key Levels) to come up with candidates for where the price might be headed. And bull or bear swings typically run in terms of 100+, 150+, 200+ pips, .....etc. And now you know why.
Okay. Now, if this is your first introduction to PVSRA, and having just read the above, you are likely scratching your head and still confused. That is normal. I will tell you a secret about the market and why you have a right to be confused. The secret is this. The market cannot be defined by mathematics nor by immutable logic. This is why the most advanced mathematicians over a century have never even come close to cracking the market. It cannot be done. Something else, other than math and immutable logic is the fundamental operand in the market. Have you ever watched a child attempt a jigsaw puzzle for the first time? And watched as that child grew and attempted more of them, and more complex ones? What is at work in the market I will elaborate on later, but for now trust me in this. We need to apply ourselves to learning how to do PVSRA just as a child attacks learning how to do jigsaw puzzles. And we must continue doing PVSRA, because in time our mind will "learn" when we have just picked up an important piece of the puzzle, and that we know where it goes! Developing the skill of PVSRA is an art form. We must not allow ourselves to feel badly if we miss clues. PVSRA is an art form that takes time to perfect. Over time our skill will grow and our "read" of the unpredictable market will improve. We must take to ongoing learning and application of PVSRA.
Introduction to How the Market Really Works
Does anybody remember the "lil' Abner" cartoons in the Sunday papers? Let me draw for you a mental picture of how the market really works.....
Imagine Daddy Yokum ferociously racing a buckboard wagon up and down the steep inclines and declines in the rough, rocky mountain road that has sharp turns and a sheer cliff on one side. The wagon wheels are spewing rocks off the side of the cliff! Even Daddy Yokum's shotgun is going off due to the jolting of the buckboard! Daddy Yokum has a demented look on his face, but he is smiling! The horse has a wild look in it's eyes and is frothing at the mouth. There are two passengers being tossed around in the back of the buckboard, terror stricken! Now, let's pan back from this cartoon picture and place the labels needed. On the side of the wagon is the sign "Market Pricing". The demented, smiling Daddy Yokum, is the Market Maker. The passengers being tossed around are the buyers and sellers.
.....Got it? Market prices are not determined by the buyers and sellers. They are determined by the Robber Bank Market Makers (MMs).
MMs are Market Manipulators of Price, and Thieves!
The "market" is the sole creation of the Robber Banks that "make the market". While it serves the world of commerce, they run it to make profits. And they opened the market up to foster prolific currency trading by others for the sole purpose of making more profits. They move prices up and down to "create liquidity" to fill the orders of SM (Smart Money) and DM (Dumb Money), for the commissions they make by filling the orders. When they have some orders above the current price and some below the current price, who do you think determines the sequence of direction and distance the price is going to move so these orders can be filled? And always - since they know how they are going to move price next - they take positions themselves to make additional profits.
They do this by:
1. Manipulating price to sucker into the market DM that is taking the wrong side position.
2. Manipulating price to sucker into the market SM that is taking the right side position, but too soon, and later manipulating price to hit their stops.
They have total control of pricing, and by these actions they effectively "steal" from others the money to fill their own "right side" positions before moving the price to the next area they have decided on for filling orders, and for taking profit on their positions built beforehand. Don't get me wrong. I do not object to the market volatility these thieving Robber Banks create. We need it. But we also need to understand what these people are like, the cloth they are cut from. They are crooks, and we have to be extra careful about trading in the market they operate. On some special days you can see them in their true colors. We should witness it. Take note of it. Speak of it. And remember it!
DOJI FU IndicatorIndicator is designed to paint a doji, the size of which can be adjusted in settings.
Provided there is a valid doji, the following candle is a 'FU candle' or an 'Institution' candle. This candle wicks above/below the doji and takes liquidity from above or below.
Colours can be changed
Red = Doji candle
Yellow = FU candle
Example shown on the 1hr chart, red doji indicating a change of trend upwards, the FU candle (yellow) takes liquidity from above and sweeps down.
Multi-Exchange Volume (30 Tickers) by kurtsmock + BV + rVolauthor: kurtsmock
Fully Customizable ticker set. Up to 30 Tickers. Bitcoin set as default.
-- IMPORTANT NOTE: --
30 Exchanges are a lot. It can take a while to load. You can fully customize this indicator to your liking. Here's how:
1. Load indicator
2. Open Settings
3. Uncheck the switch box for exchanges you want unincluded
4. At the bottom of the settings menu click "Defaults" and hit "Save as Default"
5. To turn them all back on, hit "Reset Settings" in that same "Defaults" menu and click "Save as Default" again.
Also, you don't have to use this with Bitcoin. This works with any asset, just change the ticker in the settings.
There's a lot going on with this indicator so the following is descriptions and instructions to help you better understand what's going on here. Thanks!
Goal:
- To provide a mechanism for assets on multiple exchanges to have their volume evaluated together
Edge:
- Having better and more complete volume information
Notes:
- The Default Exchanges for this indicator are highest volume bitcoin exchanges, but may contain "fake volume"
- Indicator is set for Bitcoin by default. However, you can change the tickers to reflect any asset you want
////// rVol //////
Goal:
- To understand how much volume is being executed relative to the same candle on previous days/periods
Edge:
- Higher rVol implies higher volatility and market interest.
- High rVol = higher than average volume . Markets move on volume so higher than average volume indicates increased market activity/volatility
- rVol is an indirect measure of active or anticipated volatility
Definitions:
- rVol: The volume of a period compared to the Average Volume of that same period in past sessions
- Important to note it does NOT add up the last 10 (default) candles, but rather the last 10 candles at session intervals.
- Example:
-- On a Tuesday, 1h chart it will add up the last ten Tuesday, 9:00 am candles, not including the current, active candle.
-- It then averages those lookback candles.
-- It then plots the percentage relationship between the most recent candle and the average of the lookback candles
-- Avg Vol of Lookback candles = 5000,
-- Volume of most recent candle = 4000: Output = rVol = 80:
-- Volume of most recent candle was 80% of the average volume in the 9 am time period of the last ten Tuesdays in the 9 am, 1h period
Notes:
- rVol does not add current candle volume into lookback sum. So, you set lookback to be: (not including the current day)
- rVol is on a switch. So, if you want to see rVol instead of volume, hit the switch in the settings
- If you want to see both, load 2 instances of the indicator.
////// Better-er Volume //////
Goal:
To Identify:
- When a candle closes at the highest volume * range relative to the lookback period and close > open
- When a candle closes at the highest volume * range relative to the lookback period and close < open
- When a candle closes at the highest volume / price relative to the lookback period
Edge:
- Identifies beginnings of price expansion, climax of price expansion, breakouts, pivots, and take profit points on the volume chart
Notes:
- Based generally on Barry Taylor's "Better Volume" indicator and ideas from Pascal Willain's book "Value in Time."
- Better-er Volume rules are applied to both Total Volume or rVol.
-- When rVol is displayed Better-er Volume is applied to rVol
-- When Total Volume is displayed Better-er Volume is applied to Total Volume
// Plot Key: //
Green Triangle Up = Often marks the beginning and/or end of price expansion to the upside

Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) is a specialized tool for ICT traders, pinpointing Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) within customizable 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, :20–:30, :30–:40, :40–:50, :50–:60).
Optimized for 10 minute charts or lower, this indicator identifies bullish and bearish FVGs, tracks their mitigation to form inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generates retest signals with "Close" or "Wick" options.
With toggleable ATR filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and alerts for new FVGs and signals, this indicator delivers precision for ICT strategies.
A timeframe warning ensures users stay on lower timeframes (<1 hour) for accurate filtering, making it ideal for targeting macro timeframes and hourly transitions.
Settings Description:
Show Last (disp_num): Sets the number of recent inverted FVGs (iFVGs) to display (1–100, default: 5). Lower values reduce chart clutter, while higher values show more historical zones.
Time Window Checkboxes (enable_00_10, enable_10_20, etc.): Six toggles to enable/disable FVG detection in each 10-minute window (:00–:10, :10–:20, :20–:30, :30–:40, :40–:50, :50–:60). All default to enabled, allowing FVGs across the hour. Disable specific windows to focus on key ICT periods (e.g., :00–:10 for hourly opens).
Signal Preference (signal_pref): Choose "Close" (default) or "Wick" for iFVG retest signals. "Close" requires the candle body to confirm the retest, while "Wick" uses highs/lows, offering earlier but potentially noisier signals.
Use ATR Filter (use_atr): Enables/disables ATR-based size filtering for FVGs (default: true). When enabled, only FVGs larger than ATR × Multiplier are shown, reducing noise.
ATR Multiplier (atr_multi): Sets the ATR threshold for FVG size (0–∞, default: 0.25). Higher values filter for larger gaps; setting to 0 uses the average bar range, making the filter very permissive.
Remove Mitigated FVGs (remove_mitigated): Removes FVGs and iFVGs when price fully closes through them (default: true), aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance.
Show FVG Labels (show_labels): Displays “Bull FVG” or “Bear FVG” labels above/below gaps (default: true). Disable to reduce chart clutter.
Colors (bull_color, bear_color, midline_color): Customize colors for bullish FVGs (green), bearish FVGs (red), and midlines (gray). Adjust transparency for visibility.
Recommendations for ICT Traders
To maximize the indicator’s effectiveness within ICT concepts, use it on 1–5 minute charts during macro timeframes like the New York Kill Zone (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London Kill Zone (2:00–5:00 AM EST), where institutional order flow often creates significant FVGs. Focus on the :00–:10 and :50–:60 windows by enabling only these checkboxes , as they capture hourly opens and closes, key for ICT setups like Judas swings or liquidity grabs.
Keep ATR filtering enabled with a multiplier of 0.25–0.5 to prioritize impactful gaps, but disable it on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute) for more FVGs during high-volatility periods.
Enable mitigation removal to declutter the chart, reflecting ICT’s view that filled FVGs are less relevant unless inverted.
Use "Close" signal preference for conservative retest confirmation, switching to "Wick" for faster entries in aggressive setups.
Set alerts for “Bullish FVG Detected,” “Bearish FVG Detected,” “Bullish Signal,” and “Bearish Signal” to catch real-time opportunities.
Avoid timeframes ≥1 hour, as the minute-based filter may be unreliable, and heed the warning label to stay on lower timeframes for precision.

ChopFlow ATR Scalp StrategyA lean, high-velocity scalp framework for NQ and other futures that blends trend clarity, volume confirmation, and adaptive exits to give you precise, actionable signals—no cluttered bands or lagging indicators.
⸻
🔍 Overview
This strategy locks onto rapid intraday moves by:
• Filtering for directional momentum with the Choppiness Index (CI)
• Confirming conviction via On-Balance Volume (OBV) against its moving average
• Automatically sizing stops and targets with a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR)
It’s designed for scalp traders who need clean, timely entries without wading through choppy noise.
⸻
⚙️ Key Features & Inputs
1. ATR Length & Multiplier
• Controls exit distances based on current volatility.
2. Choppiness Length & Threshold
• Measures trend strength; only fires when the market isn’t “stuck in the mud.”
3. OBV SMA Length
• Smoothes volume flow to confirm genuine buying or selling pressure.
4. Custom Session Hours
• Avoid overnight gaps or low-liquidity periods.
All inputs are exposed for rapid tuning to your preferred scalp cadence.
🚀 How It Works
1. Long Entry triggers when:
• CI < threshold (strong trend)
• OBV > its SMA (positive volume flow)
• You’re within the defined session
2. Short Entry mirrors the above (CI < threshold, OBV < SMA)
3. Exit uses ATR × multiplier for both stop-loss and take-profit
⸻
🎯 Usage Tips
• Start with defaults (ATR 14, multiplier 1.5; CI 14, threshold 60; OBV SMA 10).
• Monitor signal frequency, then tighten/loosen CI or OBV look-back as needed.
• Pair with a fast MA crossover or price-action trigger if you want even sharper timing.
• Backtest across different sessions (early open vs. power hours) to find your edge.
