Donchian Channel with Range AdditionA Donchian Channel with additional zones at places where its range is smaller than a set amount of atr. Thus it kind of combines with Keltner Channel qualities. Purpose is to set a stop loss wide enough to avoid shaking out of a position. The example chart shows a Philips day chart, where I opened position on 16 juli at 37,50 and set the stop loss at low border level 35,60, on 23 juli was an earnings rapport, the wick of the candle shows that quotes went very low, obviously smart traders had to fill a huge order and hunted for stops, triggering my stop closing the position. next days quotes went a lot better, so I missed the fun. The Donchian Channel was too narrow because quotes had ranged in the previous weeks. If I had placed my stop on the additional low, setting it 5 atr below the high border, my stop would have been safe.

Renko Price Bars Overlay// Shows the price renko bars (or range bars) instead of the PERIOD renko
// bars that are integrated into Trading View. The normal renko bars that
// Trading View offers only consider the drawing of a new brick when the
// price closes above or below the required brick size. This can produce
// misleading charts since depending on the time interval of a chart, new
// bricks may or may not be drawn. True price renko bars will draw a new
// brick immediately upon the price exceeding the next target brick size.
// When running this script in "Traditional" mode, the painting of the
// brick overlay band is INDEPENDENT of the chart interval. If price
// exceeds the required target price for the next brick, the band is
// updated immediately, instead of waiting for the price bar on the chart
// interval to close first. The brick starting anchor point will attempt
// to be a "nice number" at a round interval for the chart ticker. For
// example, if viewing EURUSD with the box size equal to 50 ticks/pips,
// the open and close prices will take the form of 1.2100, 1.2150, 1.2200,
// 1.2250, and so on. This is the same behavior as the normal traditional
// Renko bars in Trading View and other major trading platforms such as
// Meta Trader.
// Use the tick size in traditional mode to specify the block size, in
// ticks. This may give interesting results in FOREX pairs... as the tick
// size in Trading View may be 0.00001 instead of the normal pip size of
// 0.0001, so a 10 pip block size may be '100', and not the expected '10'.
// FOREX futures should work in the manner expected, a 10 pip block size
// will indeed equal 0.0010.
// The "ATR" mode functions differently than the Trading View built in
// version. The block size is updated each time the range is exceeded.
// In Trading View, when using the ATR mode, the ATR is the last ATR
// value calculated on the ENTIRE data interval, and is applied to all
// past data. You can see this when you press the '+' sign of the ticker
// in the top left of the chart window and you will see the brick size
// as a constant, the brick size is not a function of the ever changing
// ATR value of the price action. The block size of this script is not
// updated for each price candle (i.e. each 1HR on a 1HR chart), instead
// it is updated only when the price thresholds are exceeded requiring a
// the band to be updated. At that point the current ATR is considered
// and the brick size is updated.
// Options exist to show the current high and low of the brick, and to
// show the required levels that the price must exceed to draw a new
// brick and update the band.
Please leave comments if you notice any bugs or would like any new features added. I don't find much use for plotting the H/L of the current renko candle, but I have seen some request it in the past.
Cheers.

Forex session - Opening Range- Jayy fixed updatedOpening Range (OR) for Forex 24 hour regular session. This is not for regular market day sessions addressed in a separate script.
This script fixes four issues:
syntax error when code compiles
messed up opening range the day after a holiday Monday
flaky plotting of the opening range and targets that required page reloading
TradingView problems with starting forex session at 1700 hours EST/EDT when using certain securities eg FX_IDC currently (Jan 2017)
Additions in his code are more options for trading range
Time compensation option for some securities that incorrectly start sessions at 1200 hrs instead of 1700 hrs NY time
- this glitch is likely temporary but present when this script update was created
More opening range time period choices
Opening Range Targets:
Opening Range Targets as per Leaf_West
Targets are set at 127% , 162%, 200 %, 262 %, 362%, 423%, 685%, 1109% and 1794% and this can be traded intraday using methods described here charts-by-leaf.com I also have some Leaf West PDFs that describe how the targets are set and how they are traded. There are others that use opening range.
The Time Session Glitch and the Fix:
The script will correctly default to 1700 hrs to 1700hrs EDT/EST session for FXCM.
Strangely some securities appear to erroneously start their session at 1200 hrs ie. My guess is that they are somehow tied to GMT+0 instead of New York time (GMT+5). See this for yourself by selecting EURUSD using the FXCM exchange (FX:EURUSD) and then EURUSD from the IDC exchange (FX_IDC:EURUSD). The FX-IDC session opening range starts 5 hours
before it actually should at 1700 hrs EDT/EST. To correct for this I have implemented an automatic fix (default) and a user selected "5 hour time shift adjust. ment needed on some securities".
There is also a 4 hour time shift button which might be necessary when New York reverts from Eastern Standard Time
to Eastern Daylight Time (1 hour difference) in March (and then back again in November). In the default auto adjust mode you will need to select the 1 hour time shift. That is if this glitch still exists at that time.
I have looked at other scripts, other than my own and where the script is available, that need to use information about the opening bar and all have the same time shift issue
What are the choices for Opening Range?
The dialogue box offers the standard TradingView options.
Also where you see Pick Opening Range 1 to 12 hours , SET TO 0 To USE LINE ABOVE TO DETERMINE OR LENGTH
As the note says a number other than 0 will override the standard options from the line above
The dialogue box below in offers choices by hours 1 to 12. A number greater than 12 will still only give
720 minutes (12 hours) for the length of Opening Range.
What sessions within the FOREX time-frame are available?
The default is 1700 hours to 1700 hours EST/EDT
Check any one (only one) of the time periods to change the opening range period to suit.
New York opens at 8:00 am to 5:00 pm EST (EDT)
Tokyo opens at 7:00 pm to 4:00 am EST (EDT)
Sydney opens at 5:00 pm to 2:00 am EST (EDT)
London opens at 3:00 am to 12:00 noon EST (EDT)
There is a build your own session (click the button to select)
The two lines for inputting session times are almost identical except that the second line starts the be the same as each other.
The default for the build your own session is 2200 hours to 2200 hours. As of the time of publishing this plots EURUSD FX-IDC just right. The GMT+5 and GMT+4 do not apply to this selection.
See my comments above on this strange aberration.
The script originated from work done by Chris Moody. It has changed significantly but there are remnants of that script lurking within.
Script is free to all - that way you can see what is inside
Cheers Jayy
Average True Range OverlayPlots ATR calculated on a daily basis as an overlay on the current chart.
Implemented using the builtin atr function.
ATR is a volatility indicator
originally developed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr. for commodities:
New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. Greensboro, NC: Trend Research. ISBN 978-0-89459-027-6.
The range of a day's trading is simply R = high − low.
The true range extends it to yesterday's closing price if it was outside of today's range:
TR = max
The average true range is an N-day smoothed moving average of the TR values.
A first stab at a sensible stop loss level might be 3*ATR below recent peak.
Market Meanness Index-Price ChangesThis is the Market Mean index. It is used to identify if the market is really trending or if it is range bound(random). In theory, a random sample will be mean reverting 75% of the time. This indicator checks to see what how much the market is mean reverting and converts it to a percentage. If the index is around 75 or higher than the price curve of the market is range bound and there is no trend from a statistical standpoint. If the index is below 75 this means the price curve of the market is in fact trending in a direction as the market is not reverting as much as it should if it were truly following a random/range bound price curve.
Pivot Range Pivot BossMy first attempt to code something. It's Mark Fischer concept of Pivot Range from his book Logical Trader.
The strategy for using it is actually from Frank Ochoa's book Secrets of a Pivot Boss. Pivot Range is the "meat of the matket" and "the heart beat of the market" according to him.
Besides using the actual pivots the strategy is based on the relationships between 2 day pivot ranges.
Higher Value - Bulish
Overlapping Higher - Moderate Bulish
Lower Value- Bearish
Overlapping Lower - Moderate Bearish

The Essa System V1.5The Essa System V1.5
Overview
The Essa System is a comprehensive trading strategy and backtesting tool designed for traders who use market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It automatically identifies significant trading ranges, calculates key retracement levels, and then backtests a complete trading strategy based on entries at these levels.
This is more than just an indicator; it's a full suite of analytical tools designed to help you develop, test, and analyze a complete trading plan directly on your chart.
How It Works
The system's logic is based on a classic price action concept:
Range Detection: First, it automatically identifies a significant trading range by finding the highest high and lowest low based on pivot points over a user-defined lookback period.
Fibonacci Analysis: Once the range direction (bullish or bearish) is established, the script calculates and displays key Fibonacci retracement levels (50%, 61.8%, 70.5%, and 78.6%).
Trade Execution: The system then looks for historical and live trading opportunities, entering a trade when the price pulls back to one of the enabled Fibonacci levels. All trades are managed with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit in pips.
Key Features
Automatic Range & Fibonacci Analysis: Automatically draws the primary trading range and key Fib levels, updating as market structure evolves.
Historical Backtesting: Plots all historical trade entries based on the strategy rules, allowing for a complete performance review over the chosen chart history.
Detailed Trade Visuals: Displays active trades on the chart with clear lines and boxes for entry, stop loss, and take profit zones.
Advanced Session Filtering: Allows you to isolate trades to specific market sessions (London, New York, Asia) with timezone support and daily trade limits.
Built-in Risk Management: A cornerstone of the system. It automatically calculates the required position size for each trade based on your specified Account Size, Risk Percentage, and Stop Loss.
Comprehensive Performance Tables: The script includes two powerful analytical tables:
Trade Helper Table: Shows the status of live or potential upcoming trades, including entry/SL/TP prices and the calculated position size.
History Table: Logs all recent trades and calculates key statistics like Profit Factor, Win Rate, and the overall PnL impact on your account balance.
Customizable Strategy: Fine-tune every aspect of the strategy with inputs for the lookback period, SL/TP in pips, which Fib levels are tradable, and a cooldown timer to prevent over-trading.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Navigate to the settings and, under "Account Settings," configure your Account Size and Risk Per Trade (%). This is essential for the PnL and position sizing calculations to be meaningful.
Under "Session Filter Settings," adjust the sessions you wish to trade.
Analyze the historical trades and the performance tables to understand the strategy's behaviour on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Disclaimer: This is a tool for strategy analysis and backtesting. It is not financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management.

How to use this indicator:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Notes:
These indicators are available as oscillators to place under your chart through trading view but this indicator will place them on the chart in numerical only format.
Please feel free to modify this script if you like but please acknowledge me, I am only a hobby coder so this takes some time & effort.
RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
RSI Strength & Consolidation Zones (Zeiierman) is a hybrid momentum and volatility visualization tool that blends enhanced RSI interpretation with ADX-driven consolidation detection. This indicator doesn't just show where RSI is trending — it interprets how strong that trend is, when that strength changes, and where the market may be consolidating in anticipation of breakout movement.
Using a combination of Kalman-filtered RSI, custom-built DMI/ADX, and low-volatility zone recognition, it gives traders a dynamic RSI with strength-based coloring, while also highlighting consolidation zones to spot breakout opportunities.
█ Its uniqueness
Traditional RSI indicators lack context. They may show you when the market is overbought or oversold, but they won’t tell you how strong that condition is, or whether it’s likely to result in continuation or consolidation.
This tool aims to solve that by introducing adaptive strength metrics and structural compression zones, allowing traders to anticipate when the market is likely preparing for a move.
█ How It Works
⚪ Enhanced RSI
Combines traditional RSI and a custom RSI implementation
Smooths both through a Kalman filter for trend direction
Final RSI line reflects smoothed consensus between manual and built-in RSI
Adds an RSI + Strength overlay to show when the directional conviction is increasing
⚪ ADX-Driven Strength Layer
Directional Movement Index (DMI) is calculated both manually and with built-in smoothing
The average ADX value is used to calculate a strength modifier
When ADX exceeds 20, RSI is dynamically enhanced or dampened to reflect directional force
Resulting visual: RSI appears stronger or weaker based on confirmed trend conditions
⚪ Consolidation Zone Detection
When ADX falls below 20, the indicator enters a consolidation zone state
Boxes are drawn dynamically to contain the price within these low-volatility structures
Once the price breaks out of the zone, the indicator plots a breakout signal (▲ or ▼)
⚪ Breakouts
Breakout markers are placed at the first close outside the consolidation box
These signals serve as early indicators for potential trend continuation or reversal
█ How to Use
⚪ Confirm Momentum Strength
Use the RSI + Strength line to determine whether current momentum is backed by trend conviction. If strength expands alongside rising RSI, the move has confirmation.
⚪ Consolidations Zones
When RSI is around the midline, and a consolidation box appears, expect lower volatility and a range-bound market, followed by a breakout.
⚪ Use Breakout Signals for Entry
Look for ▲ or ▼ markers as early triggers. These often coincide with volume expansions or structural breaks.
█ Settings Explained
RSI Length – Number of bars used for RSI. Shorter = more sensitive.
DMI Length – Used in both custom and built-in ADX/DI calculations.
ADX Smoothing – Smooths the trend strength signal. Higher values = smoother strength detection.
Trend Confirmation (Filter Strength) – Adjusts the responsiveness of the Kalman filter.

First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

Daily Range %The Daily Range % Indicator calculates and plots a percentage of the daily range (high to low) based on a custom lookback period. It identifies outside bars from past daily data, prioritizing the most recent unbroken range. If no outside bar is found, it defaults to yesterday's range. The selected percentage of this range is then displayed on the chart, updating once per 5-minute bar (or the chosen resolution).
Fibonacci RangeFibonacci Range 50 Indicator
The Fibonacci Range 50 indicator is designed to help traders identify potential price reversal zones and breakout levels by utilizing the 50% Fibonacci retracement level as a key reference point. This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on technical analysis and price action to make informed trading decisions.
How It Works:
Identifies the Range – The indicator automatically detects a significant price range, typically based on the highest and lowest points of a given session (e.g., Asian session, previous day’s range, or a custom timeframe).
Plots Fibonacci Levels – The key 50% Fibonacci retracement level is calculated within this range, acting as a dynamic midpoint that often serves as a pivot zone for price movements.
Breakout & Reversal Signals –
If the price rejects the 50% level, it may indicate a trend continuation or range-bound movement.
If the price breaks above or below the range with momentum, it may signal a potential breakout trade opportunity.

Opening Range BoxIndicator Name: Opening Range Box with Extensions
Author: YanivBull
Description:
The Opening Range Box with Extensions is a powerful tool designed to visualize the trading range established during the first 30 minutes of a market session, a critical period for setting the day's trend. This indicator plots a box representing the high and low prices formed within this opening range, with dashed extension lines projecting these levels forward throughout the session.
Its primary purpose is to identify the boundaries of the initial trend at the start of trading. When these boundaries are breached, it serves as a trigger for potential trading opportunities: a breakout above the box high signals a possible long entry, while a breakdown below the box low indicates a potential short entry. The indicator also includes historical boxes for up to 5 previous days (configurable), allowing traders to analyze past opening ranges and their extensions for context and pattern recognition.
Key Features:
Customizable session start time (hour and minute) to adapt to various markets (e.g., NYSE, DAX, etc.).
Displays the current session's opening range box in blue and historical boxes in gray.
Plots dashed extension lines from the high and low of each box, limited to 500 bars or the end of the trading day.
Adjustable number of historical days (1-20, default 5).
Usage:
Set the Session Start Hour and Session Start Minute according to your market's opening time (relative to your chart's timezone, e.g., UTC+2). Watch for price action around the box boundaries—breakouts above the high or below the low can be used as signals for initiating long or short trades, respectively. Combine with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
This indicator is ideal for day traders looking to capitalize on early session momentum and breakout strategies.
Session Opening Ranges [DB](Reuploaded with open source script)
A simple indicator that displays the 15 minute opening ranges of the Asia, London and New York trading sessions.
You can select how many days you want to display in total and also customise the colors of each session. The indicator is coded to NY time and should always display at the correct times, which are:

Average High-Low Range + IBS Reversal Strategy█ STRATEGY DESCRIPTION
The "Average High-Low Range + IBS Reversal Strategy" is a mean-reversion strategy designed to identify potential buying opportunities when the price deviates significantly from its average high-low range and the Internal Bar Strength (IBS) indicates oversold conditions. It enters a long position when specific conditions are met and exits when the price shows strength by exceeding the previous bar's high. This strategy is suitable for use on various timeframes.
█ WHAT IS THE AVERAGE HIGH-LOW RANGE?
The Average High-Low Range is calculated as the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the difference between the high and low prices over a specified period. It helps identify periods of increased volatility and potential reversal points.
█ WHAT IS INTERNAL BAR STRENGTH (IBS)?
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) is a measure of where the closing price is relative to the high and low of the bar. It is calculated as:
IBS = (Close - Low) / (High - Low)
A low IBS value (e.g., below 0.2) indicates that the close is near the low of the bar, suggesting oversold conditions.
█ SIGNAL GENERATION
1. LONG ENTRY
A Buy Signal is triggered when:
The close price has been below the buy threshold (calculated as `upper - (2.5 * hl_avg)`) for a specified number of consecutive bars (`bars_below_threshold`).
The IBS value is below the specified buy threshold (`ibs_buy_treshold`).
The signal occurs within the specified time window (between `Start Time` and `End Time`).
2. EXIT CONDITION
A Sell Signal is generated when the current closing price exceeds the high of the previous bar (`close > high `). This indicates that the price has shown strength, potentially confirming the reversal and prompting the strategy to exit the position.
█ ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
Length: The lookback period for calculating the average high-low range. Default is 20.
Bars Below Threshold: The number of consecutive bars the price must remain below the buy threshold to trigger a Buy Signal. Default is 2.
IBS Buy Threshold: The IBS value below which a Buy Signal is triggered. Default is 0.2.
Start Time and End Time: The time window during which the strategy is allowed to execute trades.
█ PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
This strategy is designed for mean-reverting markets and performs best when the price frequently deviates from its average high-low range.
It is sensitive to oversold conditions, as indicated by the IBS, which helps to identify potential reversals.
Backtesting results should be analyzed to optimize the Length, Bars Below Threshold, and IBS Buy Threshold parameters for specific instruments.

JJ Highlight Time Ranges with First 5 Minutes and LabelsTo effectively use this Pine Script as a day trader , here’s how the various elements can help you manage trades, track time sessions, and monitor price movements:
Key Components for a Day Trader:
1. First 5-Minute Highlight:
- Purpose: Day traders often rely on the first 5 minutes of the trading session to gauge market sentiment, watch for opening price gaps, or plan entries. This script draws a horizontal line at the high or low of the first 5 minutes, which can act as a key level for the rest of the day.
- How to Use: If the price breaks above or below the first 5-minute line, it can signal momentum. You might enter a long position if the price breaks above the first 5-minute high or a short if it breaks below the first 5-minute low.
2. Session Time Highlights:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM): The market often shows its strongest price action during the first hour of trading. This session is highlighted in yellow. You can use this highlight to focus on the most volatile period, as this is when large institutional moves tend to occur.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM): The blue highlight helps you track the mid-afternoon session, where liquidity may decrease, and price action can sometimes be choppier. Day traders should be more cautious during this period.
- How to Use: By highlighting these key times, you can:
- Focus on key breakouts during the morning session.
- Be more conservative in your trades during the afternoon, as market volatility may drop.
3. Dynamic Labels:
- Top/Bottom Positioning: The script places labels dynamically based on the selected position (Top or Bottom). This allows you to quickly glance at the session's start and identify where you are in terms of time.
- How to Use: Use these labels to remind yourself when major time segments (morning or afternoon) begin. You can adjust your trading strategy depending on the session, e.g., being more aggressive in the morning and more cautious in the afternoon.
Trading Strategy Suggestions:
1. Momentum Trades:
- After the first 5 minutes, use the high/low of that period to set up breakout trades.
- Long Entry: If the price breaks the high of the first 5 minutes (especially if there's a strong trend).
- Short Entry: If the price breaks the low of the first 5 minutes, signaling a potential downtrend.
2. Session-Based Strategy:
- Morning Session (9:15–10:30 AM):
- Look for strong breakout patterns such as support/resistance levels, moving average crossovers, or candlestick patterns (like engulfing candles or pin bars).
- This is a high liquidity period, making it ideal for executing quick trades.
- Afternoon Session (12:30–2:55 PM):
- The market tends to consolidate or show less volatility. Scalping and mean-reversion strategies work better here.
- Avoid chasing big moves unless you see a clear breakout in either direction.
3. Support and Resistance:
- The first 5-minute high/low often acts as a key support or resistance level for the rest of the day. If the price holds above or below this level, it’s an indication of trend continuation.
4. Breakout Confirmation:
- Look for breakouts from the highlighted session time ranges (e.g., 9:15 AM–10:30 AM or 12:30 PM–2:55 PM).
- If a breakout happens during a key time window, combine that with other technical indicators like volume spikes , RSI , or MACD for confirmation.

Example Day Trader Usage:
1. First 5 Minutes Strategy: After the market opens at 9:15 AM, watch the price action for the first 5 minutes. The high and low of these 5 minutes are critical levels. If the price breaks above the high of the first 5 minutes, it might indicate a strong bullish trend for the day. Conversely, breaking below the low may suggest bearish movement.
2. Morning Session: After the first 5 minutes, focus on the **9:15 AM–10:30 AM** window. During this time, look for breakout setups at key support/resistance levels, especially when paired with high volume or momentum indicators. This is when many institutions make large trades, so price action tends to be more volatile and predictable.
3. Afternoon Session: From 12:30 PM–2:55 PM, the market might experience lower volatility, making it ideal for scalping or range-bound strategies. You could look for reversals or fading strategies if the market becomes too quiet.
Conclusion:
As a day trader, you can use this script to:
- Track and react to key price levels during the first 5 minutes.
- Focus on high volatility in the morning session (9:15–10:30 AM) and **be cautious** during the afternoon.
- Use session-based timing to adjust your strategies based on the time of day.
