[turpsy] Midnight Opening Range-Fractal Midnight Open Range-Fractal Combined Trading System
Overview
This indicator combines Midnight Opening Range (MOR) analysis with HTF candle structure and fractal patterns to provide a comprehensive intraday trading framework. Unlike simple mashups, this system integrates three complementary methodologies that work together to identify high-probability trading zones.
Core Components & Synergy
1. MOR (Midnight Opening Range) Indicator
- Tracks the first 30 minutes of each trading day (00:00-00:30)
- Draws historical and current session boxes with quartile levels (25%, 50%, 75%)
- Custom opening price lines for key market times (NY Open 9:30, London Close, etc.)
- Concept:
Price tends to respect the opening range boundaries; quartiles act as support/resistance
2. HTF (Higher Timeframe) Candles
- Displays up to 6 higher timeframe candles alongside your chart
- Shows Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances (VI)
- Presents First Presented FVG (PFVG) - the initial gap after a fractal
- Concept:
HTF structure provides context for LTF entries; FVGs are magnetic price targets
3. Fractal Pattern Detection with CISD
- Identifies swing highs/lows using HTF candle structure
- CISD (Change in State of Delivery) lines mark confirmed fractal breaks
- Chart sweeps show liquidity grabs
- Concept: Fractals mark key market structure; CISD confirms directional bias
4. Killzones & Session Analysis
- Asia, London, NewYork AM/PM, and Lunch sessions
- Session highs/lows with pivot tracking
- Day/Week/Month opens and separators
- Concept: Specific sessions show characteristic volatility and directional behavior
5. ADR/CDR Analysis
- Average Daily Range and Current Daily Range tracking
- Shows percentage of ADR completed
- Concept: Helps gauge if there's room for continuation or if exhaustion is likely
How They Work Together
1. Context: It uses HTF candles and MOR boxes to identify the bigger picture structure
2. Timing: It uses Killzones to show when institutional activity is highest
3. Entry: It uses Fractals with CISD confirm structure breaks; FVGs provide entry zones
4. Risk Management: ADR/CDR helps set realistic profit targets and assess if move is extended
Original Contributions
This script significantly improves upon the base components by:
- Integrating 1-minute data feed for accurate Midnight Open Range calculations on all timeframes
- Adding PFVG detection synchronized with fractal patterns
- Creating logarithmic midpoint calculations between HTF candles
- Implementing chart sweep detection for liquidity analysis
- Adding CISD projection lines at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 extensions
How to Use
1. Enable desired HTF timeframes and MOR settings
2. Watch for PFVG formation after HTF candle closes
3. Look for CISD line breaks during killzone sessions
4. Enter at FVG mitigation zones aligned with MOR quartiles
5. Monitor ADR% to gauge move potential

Session Range Control [PointAlgo]Session Range Control (SRC)
The Session Range Control (SRC) indicator provides a structured view of intraday price behavior by tracking where the current price sits within the session’s high–low range and how today’s volatility compares to the Average Daily Range (ADR). It combines range analytics, momentum context, volatility interpretation, and visual cues to help traders understand session strength and shifts in intraday conditions.
Core Concept
Every trading session forms a unique high and low. SRC continuously reads these values and calculates the Position in Range, expressed on a scale from 0% to 100%:
0% → Price at Day Low
100% → Price at Day High
50% → Mid-range equilibrium
By normalizing price into a percentage, traders can quickly interpret where market pressure is concentrated during the session.
Trend Zones and Market State
SRC divides the range into logical zones to show the likely sentiment of the session:
1. Strong Uptrend Zone (Above Threshold)
When price consistently holds above the user-defined upper threshold (e.g., 60%), the indicator marks a Strong Uptrend.
This typically reflects:
Persistent intraday buying pressure
Price acceptance near the upper part of the range
Reduced likelihood of deep pullbacks
2. Strong Downtrend Zone (Below Threshold)
When price remains below the lower threshold (e.g., 40%), SRC signals a Strong Downtrend, indicating:
Dominant intraday selling
Consistent pressure keeping price near session lows
3. Bullish / Bearish Zones
Between the midline and strong thresholds, SRC displays softer trend zones:
Above 50% = Bullish Zone
Below 50% = Bearish Zone
These zones help classify whether price is trending, balanced, or drifting.
4. Neutral Territory
When price hovers around the mid-level without conviction, the indicator treats it as a neutral or undecided phase.
Signal Logic :
SRC includes built-in momentum shift signals based on range transitions:
Long Signal
Triggered when price crosses upward through 50%, often showing:
A shift from intraday weakness to strength
Buyers gaining control of the session
Short Signal
Triggered when price crosses downward through 50%, suggesting:
Loss of intraday strength
Sellers taking control
These signals help highlight potential turning points inside the session.
Extreme Levels :
SRC highlights the top and bottom 10% of the range:
> 90% = Extreme High (Overbought intraday condition)
< 10% = Extreme Low (Oversold intraday condition)
These conditions can be useful for identifying overextended movements or potential reaction zones.
ADR Comparison and Volatility Context :
The indicator also measures how today’s price range compares to the Average Daily Range (ADR):
Range Expanding: Today’s range is significantly larger than the ADR
Indicates heightened volatility
Often associated with trending or breakout environments
Range Compressing: Today’s range is much smaller
Suggests low volatility
Common before breakout phases
Characteristic of consolidation or balanced markets
This volatility context helps traders assess whether the session is behaving within normal boundaries or deviating significantly.
Dashboard Overview :
When enabled, the dashboard summarizes key intraday metrics in a structured table:
Trend status (Strong Uptrend, Strong Downtrend, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral)
Range position (%)
Signal status (Long Cross, Short Cross, Extreme High/Low, or None)
Day range calculation
Range vs ADR (%)
Day High / Day Low
Current price level
Simplified action label based on current conditions
This provides a quick reference system to interpret both trend and volatility at a glance without analyzing the full chart visually.
Visual Elements
SRC includes:
Colored dynamic plot for easy trend recognition
Horizontal reference lines at key levels (0%, 50%, 100%, strong-trend thresholds)
Background shading during extreme zone conditions
A separate ADR comparison plot
These visuals ensure the indicator remains intuitive regardless of chart style or timeframe.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for:
Long cross
Short cross
Strong trend detection
Extreme high / extreme low
These allow users to automate notifications during key market events without manually monitoring the chart.
Customization Options
Users can configure:
ADR length
Strong trend thresholds
Dashboard visibility
Dashboard position on chart
This makes SRC adaptable to different trading instruments and intraday styles.
Usage Notes
Works best on intraday timeframes where session boundaries are clearly defined.
Designed for analytical interpretation—trend bias, volatility phase, and range structure.
Can complement other tools such as moving averages, volume, or market structure analysis.
Disclaimer :
This indicator is intended for chart analysis and educational purposes only.
It does not generate financial, investment, or trading advice.
Users should validate signals with additional research and apply proper risk management.

Monday's Range Superpowerkyu🔔 Settings
You can customize the colors and toggle ON/OFF in the indicator settings.
Works on daily, hourly, and minute charts.
Easily visualize Monday’s high, low, and mid-line range.
📌 1. Support & Resistance with Monday’s Range
Monday High: Acts as the first resistance of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks above Monday’s high after Tuesday, it signals potential bullish continuation → long setup.
Monday Low: Acts as the first support of the week.
◽ Example: If price breaks below Monday’s low, it signals bearish continuation → short setup.
📌 2. Mid-Line Trend Confirmation
Monday Mid-Line = average price of Monday.
Price above mid-line → bullish bias.
Price below mid-line → bearish bias.
Use mid-line breaks as entry confirmation for long/short positions.
📌 3. Breakout Strategy
Break of Monday’s High = bullish breakout → long entry.
Break of Monday’s Low = bearish breakout → short entry.
Place stop-loss inside Monday’s range for a conservative approach.
📌 4. False Breakout Strategy
If price breaks Monday’s high/low but then falls back inside Monday’s range, it is a False Breakout.
Strategy: Trade in the opposite direction.
◽ False Breakout at High → short.
◽ False Breakout at Low → long.
Stop-loss at the wick (extreme point) of the failed breakout.
📌 5. Range-Based Scalping
Use Monday’s high and low as a trading range.
Sell near Monday’s High, buy near Monday’s Low, repeat until breakout occurs.
📌 6. Weekly Volatility Forecast
Narrow Monday range → higher chance of strong trend later in the week.
Wide Monday range → lower volatility expected during the week.
📌 7. Pattern & Trend Analysis within Monday Range
Look for candlestick patterns around Monday’s High/Low/Mid-Line.
◽ Example: Double Top near Monday’s High = short setup.
◽ Repeated bounce at Mid-Line = strong long opportunity.
✅ Summary
The Monday’s Range (Superpowerkyu) Indicator helps traders:
Identify weekly support & resistance
Confirm trend direction with Mid-Line
Trade breakouts & false breakouts
Apply range scalping strategies
Forecast weekly volatility
⚡ Especially, the False Breakout strategy is powerful as it captures failed moves and sudden sentiment reversals.
Objective Doji Highlight (Range-Relative)This indicator highlights Doji candles using an objective, mathematics-based rule: a bar is Doji when the absolute difference between its open and close is less than or equal to a user-defined fraction (x) of that bar’s high–low range.
How it works:
Compute body size as the absolute difference between open and close.
Compute the bar’s range as high minus low.
Classify as Doji when body size ≤ x × range.
Only Doji candles are colored; non-Doji bars remain unchanged.
Inputs
Doji threshold (x of range): tolerance (0–1) controlling how small the body must be relative to the range.
Doji Candle Color: visual color for detected Doji candles.
Example:
If x = 0.10 and a candle has high = 100 and low = 90 (range = 10), the maximum allowed body is 1.
If the difference between open and close is ≤ 1, the candle is marked as Doji.
Why it can be useful
Doji candles are often studied as signs of market indecision. This tool provides a clear, parameter-based way to identify them consistently across any timeframe, without discretionary interpretation.
Notes & limitations
Works with standard candlesticks (not Heikin Ashi, Renko, or other synthetic bar types).
Visualization and research only: it does not produce buy/sell signals and makes no performance claims.
No repainting from future data; the logic uses only the current bar’s prices.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.
Open Range Breakout Strategy With Multi TakeProfitHello everyone,
For a while, I’ve been wanting to develop new scripts, but I couldn’t decide what to create. Eventually, I came up with the idea of coding traditional and well-known trading strategies—while adding modern features such as multi–take profit options. For the first strategy in this series, I chose the Open Range Strategy .
For those unfamiliar with it, the Open Range Strategy is a trading approach where you define a specific time period at the beginning of a trading session—such as the first 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour—and mark the highest and lowest prices within that range. These levels then act as reference points for potential breakouts: if the price breaks above the range, it may signal a long entry; if it breaks below, it may indicate a short entry. This method is popular among day traders for capturing early momentum in the market.
Since this strategy is generally used as an intraday strategy , I added a Trade Session feature. This allows you to define the exact time window during which trades can be opened. Once the session ends, all positions are automatically closed, ensuring trades remain within your chosen intraday period.
Even though it’s a relatively simple concept, I’ve come across many different variations of it. That’s why I created a highly customizable project. Under the Session Settings, you can select the time window you want to define as your range. Whether it’s the first 15-minute candle or the entire first hour, the choice is entirely yours.
For stop-loss placement, there are two different options:
Middle of the Range – The stop loss is placed at the midpoint between the high and low of the defined range, offering a balanced buffer for both bullish and bearish setups.
Top/Bottom of the Range – The stop loss is placed just beyond the range’s high for short trades or just below the range’s low for long trades, providing a more conservative risk approach.
I’ve always been a big fan of the multi take-profit feature, so I added two different take-profit targets to this project. Take profits are calculated based on a Risk-to-Reward Ratio, which you can adjust in the settings. You can also set different position sizes for each target, allowing you to scale out of trades in a way that suits your strategy.
The result is a flexible, user-friendly strategy script that brings together a classic approach with modern risk management tools—ready to be tailored to your trading style
NFP RangesPlots the NFP daily ranges for NFP days. Includes extended hours ranges when the time frame is sub 1D, otherwise, only the daily range is taken.
NFP Dates are pre-populated through 2029 and historically through 2022. Will update script to include farther-out dates before they become necessary.
Opening Range Retest█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the opening range as a box. It also draws markers and triggers alerts when the opening range is retested. The opening range time is configurable, as is the period of time that must elapse before each return to the opening range is considered a retest.
█ FEATURES
Opening range time configurable in bars or minutes
Configurable "resting" period between the end of the opening range or since the last retest before a new retest is considered valid
Configurable tolerance so that a retest can trigger sooner
Active time range can be used to filter alerts and markers to a specific time window
Visual box showing the opening range, which can be optionally limited to the above-mentioned active time window
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those interested
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator can be used for an opening range retest trading strategy, where long or short positions are taken on the retest of the opening range.
The opening range can be user-configured, so it is suitable for use with any opening range time period (e.g., 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, etc.).
The markers and alerts are equivalent, in the sense that whenever a marker appears, an alert will also trigger (assuming the user has set an alert up).
The alert active time range is simply used as a filter for markers and alerts, meaning that these will not draw or trigger outside of the specified time range.
█ LIMITATIONS
The indicator is intended for equities that have a highly active regular market open. For other security types, it will draw the opening range box from whenever TradingView specifies the market open time.
Gold ORB Strategy (15-min Range, 5-min Entry)The Gold ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Strategy is designed for day traders looking to capitalize on the price action in the early part of the trading day, specifically using a 15-minute range for identifying the opening range and a 5-minute timeframe for breakout entries. The strategy trades the Gold market (XAU/USD) during the New York session.
Opening Range: The strategy defines the Opening Range (ORB) between 9:30 AM EST and 9:45 AM EST using the highest and lowest points during this 15-minute window.
Breakout Entries: The strategy enters trades when the price breaks above the ORB high for a long position or below the ORB low for a short position. It waits for a 5-minute candle close outside the range before entering a trade.
Stop Loss and Take Profit: The stop loss is placed at 50% of the ORB range, and the take profit is set at twice the ORB range (1:2 risk-reward ratio).
Time Window: The strategy only executes trades before 12:00 PM EST, avoiding late-day market fluctuations and consolidations.
True Range & ATRDescription : This indicator plots both the True Range (TR) and the Average True Range (ATR) in a separate pane below the main chart.
- TR represents the absolute price movement range within each candle.
- ATR is a smoothed version of TR over a user-defined period (default: 14), providing insight into market volatility.
- TR is displayed as a histogram for a clearer view of individual candle ranges.
- ATR is plotted as a line to show the smoothed trend of volatility.
This indicator helps traders assess market volatility and potential price movements.

The script allows the user to input a custom range value (default set to 100 points) through the userDefinedRange variable. This value determines the minimum range required for a candle to change color.
Calculating Candle Range:
The script calculates the range of each candle by subtracting the low from the high price.
Determining Bullish or Bearish Candles:
It checks whether the close price is higher than the open price to determine if a candle is bullish (isBullish variable).
Coloring Candles:
Based on the custom range input, the script changes the color of the candles:
If the candle's range is greater than or equal to the custom range and it is bullish, the candle color is set to blue (bullishColor).
If the range condition is met and the candle is bearish, the color is set to orange (bearishColor).
If the range condition is not met, the color is set to na (not applicable).
Plotting Colored Candles:
The plotcandle function is used to plot candles with colors based on the custom range and bullish/bearish conditions. The candles will have a higher z-order to be displayed in front of default candles.
Displaying High and Low Price Points:
Triangular shapes are plotted at the high and low price levels using the plotshape function, with colors representing bullish (blue) and bearish (orange) conditions.
In trading, this indicator can help traders visually identify candles that meet a specific range criteria, potentially signaling strength or weakness in price movements. By customizing the range parameter, traders can adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading strategies. It can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to make informed trading decisions based on candlestick patterns and price movements.

Austin's Range Filter with Trade SignalsAustin’s Range Filter with Trade Signals
Description:
Austin’s Range Filter with Trade Signals is a versatile indicator that combines a custom range filter with dynamic buy and sell signals based on EMA crossovers. This indicator is designed to help traders easily identify trend reversals and optimal trade entry/exit points.
Key Features:
• Range Filter Calculation: The indicator calculates the highest and lowest price over a user-defined period, then multiplies the difference by a customizable multiplier to establish a dynamic range. A combined middle band (average of the upper and lower bounds) is plotted for a clearer visual representation of the price trend.
• Exponential Moving Average (EMA): A user-configurable EMA is added, which acts as the primary signal line. You can adjust the length of the EMA to suit your trading style.
• Buy and Sell Signals:
• Buy Signal: Triggered when the price crosses above the EMA, indicating a potential upward trend.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when the price crosses below the EMA, indicating a potential downward trend.
• Alerts: Custom alert conditions for buy and sell signals allow you to set up real-time notifications when the signal changes, so you never miss an opportunity.
• Customizable Display: You can toggle the visibility of the combined band (purple) and the EMA (blue) for a cleaner chart.
How It Works:
• Buy when the price crosses above the EMA.
• Sell when the price crosses below the EMA.
• Background colors indicate whether the current price is above or below the calculated range, helping you visually identify bullish and bearish conditions.
Customization Options:
• Range Filter Length: The lookback period for the highest/lowest price calculation.
• Range Multiplier: Adjusts the size of the range.
• EMA Length: Set the length of the EMA to fine-tune the signal sensitivity.
• Toggle Lines: Show or hide the combined band and EMA for more flexibility.
This indicator is suitable for a variety of markets including stocks, forex, and crypto, and can be applied to any timeframe. Use it as part of your technical analysis to spot market trends and improve your decision-making process.
How to Use:
1. Apply the indicator to your chart and adjust the settings to suit your strategy.
2. Set up alerts for buy and sell signals to receive real-time notifications.

Visuals
Sentiment Range MA Line:
- This is the flowing line that transitions between green and red.
- When it's green, it indicates bullish momentum in the market. This suggests a prevailing upward trend and can be an entry cue for traders who trade with the trend.
- When it turns red, bearish sentiments dominate. It indicates the potential beginning of a downtrend or a continued downtrend. Traders might interpret this as a signal to be cautious, to short the market, or to exit long positions.
The Chop Zone:
- This is the space between the price candles and the Sentiment Range MA line. It represents a region where the price is considered to be moving sideways or without a clear direction. Price movements within the chop zone might not be substantial enough to warrant a trading decision. Only when the price breaks out of this zone do we see the Sentiment Range MA line change color, signaling a potential trading opportunity.
By interpreting these visuals, traders can make more informed decisions based on the prevailing market sentiment and trend. The chart becomes a tool, providing both an overview of the market condition and potential entry or exit points based on the Sentiment Range MA indicator's readings.
Detailed Settings Overview
Understanding the settings of the Sentiment Range MA Indicator can greatly enhance its utility in your trading strategy. Let's dive deeper into each:
Output Smoothing:
Purpose: It refines the SR MA to provide a clearer trend perspective.
Functionality:
- At `0`, it ensures the indicator responds immediately to price deviations from the chop zone.
- At higher values, it transforms the indicator into a volatility-adjusted moving average.
Filtering Modes:
- Single Filtering: Prioritizes speed.
- Double Filtering: Emphasizes stability.
Trigger Smoothing:
Purpose: Used for the range break detection.
Functionality: It dampens the indicator's sensitivity to sudden market volatility, preventing unnecessary triggers.
ATR Length:
Purpose: Governs the retrospective period for the chop zone.
Functionality:
- Higher values offer a more consistent and broad range size, capturing more historical data.
- Lower values allow for a more adaptive and responsive range.
Range Multiplier:
Purpose: Modifies the breadth of the range around the SR MA.
Functionality: Increasing the multiplier will extend the range, giving more leeway before triggering, while decreasing it will narrow the range, making the indicator more responsive to price changes.
Range Style:
Purpose: Decides which candlestick data is factored into the true range calculations.
Options:
- Body: Uses the open and close values.
- Wick: Accounts for the high and low values.
Functionality: Switching between styles lets you prioritize either the overall volatility (Wick) or just the concluded price action for a period (Body).
By fine-tuning these settings, traders can tailor the Sentiment Range MA Indicator to various market conditions and personal trading styles, ensuring optimal decision-making.
Quick Start
Based on the provided chart, here's a brief explanation of the default settings for the Sentiment Range MA Indicator:
Length: Set at ` 20 `.
- This determines the base moving average period. A standard setting, it calculates the average price over the last 20 periods, providing traders with a clear perspective of short-term trends.
ATR Length: Set at ` 200 `.
- This adjusts the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR), which in turn influences the chop zone calculation. At a setting of 200, it offers a comprehensive view, considering a longer stretch of historical data.
Range Multiplier: Set at ` 6 `.
- This multiplies the ATR value, widening or narrowing the band around the SR MA. A setting of 6 means the range around the SR MA is determined by multiplying the ATR by 6, offering a broader fluctuation zone.
On the chart, the green line represents the bullish sentiment and the red represents the bearish sentiment. Price movements above and below these lines can be used as potential buy or sell signals respectively. Fine-tuning these settings can cater the Sentiment Range MA Indicator to your specific trading strategy and market condition preferences.
Alternative Settings
For traders looking to adapt to faster market conditions or prefer a more agile analysis, here's a brief description of the alternative settings for the Sentiment Range MA Indicator:
Length: Set at ` 3 `.
- This highly responsive setting calculates the average price over the last 3 periods. Ideal for quick market movements, it offers traders insights into very short-term price trends and potentially swift trade opportunities.
ATR Length: Set at ` 50 `.
- This shorter lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) focuses on more recent market volatility, providing a tighter and more current chop zone calculation. It's suitable for those wanting to respond to recent market shifts.
Range Multiplier: Set at ` 4 `.
- Multiplying the ATR by 4 narrows down the buffer around the SR MA. This creates a tighter sentiment range, possibly resulting in more frequent crossovers and trading signals.
In the provided chart, the green line still denotes bullish momentum while the red symbolizes bearish sentiment. These alternative settings might generate more frequent signals, so traders should ensure their strategy is aligned with this heightened sensitivity.
Wrapping Up
The Sentiment Range MA melds stability and agility, making it a valuable tool in your trading toolkit. As always, before integrating new indicators, take the time to understand its nuances and potential impacts on your strategy.

Safe Scalpy Stop Loss. Percentage from price visualizer.This is my first script I have published so bear with me.
I have thrown this together so you can easily see on the chart where -0.5%, -1% and -2% would be from the last candle close. I also replicated these to show positive values in case you are shorting.
I have also added a custom value setting so you can set the line at whatever percentage value you like and included an adjustable recent higher high and higher low finder to help create a recent range as it seems to work well in tandem for scalping range based price movement.
You can turn all these things on and off in the settings on the style checkboxes.
I felt the need to make this because I like to scalp trade with leverage like a total degen from time to time. Often the setups happen very quickly. It is difficult to calculate where to set a stop loss in a hurry so I keep a fixed account size/lev and just vary the position percentage size based on the percentage of the stop loss from the current price.
Sometimes when switching from a lower volatility chart to high volatility one it is easy to get caught out by quickly entering a scalp trade only to find you made your position way too big or you shouldn't have entered at all. You thought it was only moving 0.2% per candle instead of 3%. Whoops. Rekt.
This indicator is all about trying to help me avoid that with a visual clue to back up the bad maths I do quickly in my head.
I often hide it and only show it when I'm ready to enter a position to double check my SL and entry are set in a sensible area.
I thought I would publish it in case someone else finds such a simple tool handy.
Apologies if there is already something out there that does this job. I couldn't find it.
See you all on the moon.
