IDKFAIDKFA - Advanced Order Blocks & Volume Profile with Market Structure Analysis
Why IDKFA?
Named after the legendary DOOM cheat code that gives players "all weapons and full ammo," IDKFA provides traders with a comprehensive arsenal of market analysis tools. Just as the cheat code arms players with everything needed for combat, this indicator equips traders with essential market structure tools: Order Blocks, Volume Profile, LVN/HVN areas, Fibonacci retracements, and intelligent buy/sell signals - all in one unified system.

Customizable opacity and extend functionality
Advanced Volume Profile
Real-time volume profile calculation for multiple session types
Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)
Mode 1: Side-by-side bull/bear volume display
Mode 2: Overlapped volume display with percentage analysis
Shows buying vs selling pressure at each price level
LVN/HVN Area Detection
Low Volume Nodes (LVN): Areas below VAL where price moves quickly

Intelligent Signal System
Works best on higher timeframes
Identifies high-probability reversal setups at key levels
Buy signals: Large bearish rejection followed by bullish reclaim
Sell signals: Large bullish rejection followed by bearish breakdown
Signals only trigger near significant support/resistance areas
Signal Analysis & Usage Guidelines
Buy Signal Mechanics
The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance
Multiple session POC levels provide resistance confluence
Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions
Multiple bearish order blocks exist below current price
Avoid Sell Signals When:
Signal appears BELOW the VAL (selling into support)
Price is in LVN green zones (momentum could continue)
No clear resistance structure above current price
Volume profile shows heavy buying pressure (high bull percentages)
Signal occurs during Asian session ranges without clear direction
Multiple bullish order blocks exist above current price
Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence
Signal Quality Assessment
Grade A Signals (Highest Probability):
Signal at VAL/VAH with order block confluence
Fibonacci level alignment (61.8%, 78.6%)
Volume profile shows 70%+ dominance in signal direction
Multiple timeframe structure alignment
Signal occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
Grade B Signals (Moderate Probability):
Signal near POC with some confluence
Fibonacci 50% or 38.2% alignment
Mixed volume profile readings (50-70% dominance)
Some timeframe alignment present
Signal during overlap sessions
Grade C Signals (Lower Probability):
Signal with minimal confluence
Weak fibonacci alignment or none
Volume profile neutral or against signal
Conflicting timeframe signals
Signal during low-volume periods
Risk Management Guidelines
Position Sizing Based on Signal Quality:
Grade A: Standard position size
Grade B: Reduced position size (50-75%)
Grade C: Minimal position size (25%) or skip entirely
Stop Loss Placement:
Beyond order block boundaries
Outside Value Area (VAL/VAH)
Below/above fibonacci confluence levels
Account for session volatility ranges
Profit Targets:
First target: Opposite VAL/VAH boundary
Second target: Next session's key levels
Final target: Major order blocks or fibonacci extensions

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.

Disclaimer: This script is for informational purposes only and does not provide financial advice. Please consult a licensed financial advisor for personalized trading guidance.
Simple Volume Profile with POC (Daily/4H Sessions) [Enhanced]Simple Volume Profile with a Point of Control (POC). The script does the following:
Accumulates volume in user-defined “bins” (price buckets) for a session.
Resets the volume accumulation each new “session”:
On a Daily chart, it considers weekly sessions (resets each Monday).
On a 4H chart, it considers daily sessions (resets at the start of each trading day).
Finds the Point of Control (the price bin with the highest accumulated volume).
Plots the histogram and the POC line on the chart.
asia session w shieldIntroduction
This Script displays the Asia Session Range
Description
The Indicator is based on UTC -7 timing but displays the Session Boxes automatically correct at your chart so you do not have to adjust any timings based on your Time Zone and don't have to do any calculations based on your UTC. It is already perfect.
You will see on default settings the blue Asia Box, the special ' invalid shield ' feature is there because first two hours are spread timing.
Most Timing-based Indicators have "bugged" boxes or don't show clean boxes at all and don't adjust at daylight savings times, we made sure that everything automatically gets adjusted so you don't have to! So the timings will always display at the correct time regarding the daylight savings times.
Combining Timing with Liquidity Zones the right way and in a clear, clean, and simple format.
Different than others this script also shows the "true" Asia range as it respects the "day open gap" which affects the Asia range in other scripts and it also covers the full 8 hours of Asia Session.
Recommended Use
The most beautiful display is on the M5 Timeframe as you have a clear overview of all sessions without losing the intraday view. You can also use it on the M1 for more details or the M15 for the bigger picture. The Template can hide on higher time frames starting from the H1 to not flood your chart with boxes.
How to use the Asia Session Range Box
Use the Asia Range Box as your intraday Guide, keep in mind that a Breakout of Asia high or low induces Liquidity and a common price behavior is a reversal after the fake breakout of that range.
Gross and Net LTF Volume + Trailing Percentile Sessions CVOL Hi Traders !
Gross volume, net lower time frame (LTF) volume and trailing session percentile Cumulative session volume:
The code calculates and plots the following volume indicators:
Volume (Gross Volume): The total volume for the current bar.
Net lower time frame volume: The difference between the buy and sell volumes of the lower time frame.
Cumulative daily session volume: The cumulative sum of the volume for the current day.
Percentile Cumulative daily session volume: The percentile of the cumulative daily session volume (calculated on a rolling basis).
The above indicators may be plotted exclusively or exclusively.
Why is Volume important:
Volume is the number of shares or contracts traded (of a financial asset) during a given time period (timeframe). It is a crucial indicator in technical analysis and quantitative trading, as volume helps in identifying
Price Confirmation: Volume confirms price movements by indicating the level of interest and participation in the market. When prices move significantly, accompanied by strong volume, it suggests that the movement is likely to be sustained. Conversely, if prices move without significant volume, it suggests that the movement may be temporary or lacking conviction.
Trend Strength: Volume can help identify the strength and direction of a trend. During an uptrend, increasing volume alongside price increases indicates that the upward momentum is gaining traction. Conversely, decreasing volume during an uptrend suggests that the upward momentum may be weakening.
Reversal Points: Sharp volume spikes in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend can signal a potential reversal point. This is because large volume indicates a significant shift in trader sentiment, suggesting that the trend may be changing direction.
Liquidity: High volume indicates that a security is liquid, meaning that it can be easily bought and sold without significant price impact. Liquidity is important for traders who want to execute large orders without significantly affecting the market price.
For example, suppose we want to identify positive price confirmation and positive trend strength, in this case we may use the CVOL (with trailing percentile).
The above image showcases price expansion conditional on high positive volume (increasing CVOL), The price expansion also exhibits Volume confluences (the colored bars).
Positive Confluence: Increase in positive total volume and an increase in positive lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Negative Confluence : Increase in negative total volume and an increase in negative lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Also note how the percentile color does not change, this means that the new volume bars are > than the highest percentile (80%) of volume values from the beginning of the session.
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

* Shows an EMA to help you identify the trend
* Uses the ATR to plot two lines below (current low + ATR) and above (current high - ATR) the current candle. Useful to see whether the market is overextended or find possible targets
* Plots a vertical line showing NY, Tokyo and London session opens
* Includes a position size calculator to calculate your desired lot size (works in forex and gold)
FXN - Asian Session RangeThe Asian Session Range is an indicator that draws a box around the Asian session range which runs from 20.00 pm to 02.00 am EST. It then provides lines that extend into the London and New York sessions that identify the high, low and mid-range of the Asian session.
The indicator is designed to be used on the 15 minute timeframe, although it does work on any timeframe up to a from 1 minute to a 4 hour chart, after which the indicator does not make any sense. All settings from session times, line width, style and colors can be changed through the settings, with the default configuration being for the Asian session and the light-themed user interface of TradingView.
VDUB BB %B REVERSAL_v4.2 revised by JustUncleLThis is an revised Open Public version of Vdub Bollinger Band %B reversal indicator. This version includes optional Divergence Finder with selectable channel width, optional Market Session time highlighting and optional Binary Option expiry markers.
extended session - Regular Opening-Range- JayyOpening Range and some other scripts updated to plot correctly (see comments below.) There are three variations of the fibonacci expansion beyond the opening range and retracements within the opening range of the US Market session - I have not put in the script for the other markets yet.
The three scripts have different uses and strengths:
The extended session script (with the script here below) will plot the opening range whether you are using the extended session or the regular session. (that is to say whether "ext" in the lower right hand corner is highlighted or not.). While in the extended session the opening range has some plotting issues with periods like 13 minutes or any period that is not divisible into 330 mins with a round number outcome (eg 330/60 =5.5. Therefore an hour long opening range has problems in the extended session.
The pre session script is only for the premarket. You can select any opening range period you like. I have set the opening range to be the full premarket session. If you select a different session you will have to unselect "pre open to 9:30 EST for Opening Range?" in the format section. The script defaults to 15 minutes in the "period Of Pre Opening Range?". To go back to the 4 am to 9:30 pre opening range select "pre open to 9:30 EST for Opening Range?" there is no automatic 330 minute selection.
The past days offset script only works in 5 min or 15 minute period. It will show the opening range from up to 20 days past over the current days price action. Use this for the regular session only. 0 shows the current day's opening range. Use the positive integers for number of days back ie 1, 2, 3 etc not -1, -2, -3 etc. The script is preprogrammed to use the current day (0).
Scripts updated to plot correctly: One thing they all have in common is a way of they deal with a somewhat random problem that shifts the plots 4 hours in one direction or the other ie the plot started at 9:30 EST or 1:30PM EST. This issue started to occur approximately June 22, 2015 and impacts any script that tried to use "session" times to manage a plot in my scripts. The issue now seems to have been resolved during this past week.
Just in case the problem reoccurs I have added a "Switch session plot?" to each script. If the plot looks funny check or uncheck the "Switch session plot?" and see the difference. Of course if a new issue crops up it will likely require a different fix.
I have updated all of the scripts shown on this chart. If you are using a script of mine that suffers from the compiler issue then you will find an update on this chart. You can get any and all of the scripts by clicking on the small sideways wishbone on the left middle of the chart. You will see a dialogue box. Then click "make it mine". This will import all of the scripts to your computer and you can play around with them all to decide what you want and what you don't want. This is the easiest way to get all of the scripts in one fell swoop. It is also the easiest way for me to make all of the scripts available. I do not have all of the plots visible since it is too messy and one of the scripts (pre OR) is only for the regular session. To view the scripts click on the blue eye to the right of the script title to show it on this script. If you can only use the regular session. The scripts will all (with the exception of the pre OR) work fine.
If for any reason this script seems flakey refresh the page r try a slightly different period. I have noticed that sometimes randomly the script loves to return to the 5 min OR. This is a very new issue transient issue. As always if you see an issue please let me know.
Cheers Jayy

Equity Sessions [vnhilton]Note: Numbers in the chart above, particularly volume, are incorrect as I didn't have extra market data at the time of publication. Default settings are set for US markets.
(OVERVIEW)
This indicator was made specifically for equity markets which have pre-market and after-hours trading, though can be used for any other markets without these sessions, there are many other session indicators better suited for those markets. What makes this indicator different to the hundreds of session indicators out there will be highlighted in bold in the Features section below.
(FEATURES)
- After-Hours session can start earlier if the day ends short and starts after-hours trading earlier due to holidays for example
- Sessions constrained to regular trading hours can also adjust for short days as well
- Show volume for each session and also as a percentage/multiplier of day volume, average day volume with customisable period
- Show range for each session and also as a percentage/multiplier of the daily ATR with customisable period
- Lookback period for the boxes
- Customisable text size, placement, colour, name
- Customisable session lengths and constraints (regular trading hours or all including extending trading hours)
- Customisable border widths, styles and colours, and session background colour
- Toggles to show/hide sessions, volume, day volume, average day volume, session range and day ATR
NYSE extended session backgroundThis script adds background to the chart to highlight different time areas in any chart.
The time areas are in relation to the open/close time of NYSE , both regular and extended session.
The background colors are the following by default:
NO COLOR : NYSE is open
DARK BLUE : NYSE is closed
LIGHT BLUE : NYSE post market session
ORANGE : NYSE pre market session
In addition, previous day close price line is shown during extended and closed sessions (orange line).
This script is useful to visualize any chart in relation to the NYSE timetable.
London_NYThis is a session indicator that is one color from beginning of London Session to end of New York Session.
forex session - Opening-Range- JayyMy first try on anything forex. Let me know if it needs adjustment.
This is Opening Range for forex
Targets set at 127% , 162%, 200 %, 262 %, 362%, 423%, 685%, 1109% and 1794%
of the selected opening range. You can adjust targets as you like in the dialogue box
362%, 423%, 685%, 1109% and 1794% levels will not show unless selected in the dialogue box.
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)
Because the actual forex day starts at 5pm it is not possible to plot some time periods correctly
ie try 120 minutes on the New York session. (Although this is not a problem with the other sessions)
If you keep to an hour or less and use periods that divide evenly into an hour all will be fine. All periods will actually work but will start looking a little funny.
No such problem occurs if you just use 5pm est to 5 pm est. other sessions could be put in as options or hard wired in with a few lines of script changes
There is an option in the dialogue box to display fib targets within Opening Range itself.
In the far past I adapted some original work created by Chris Moody from a 7-07-2014 script - there have been multiple adaptations . The script layout/ structure remains similar and messages regarding targets achieved (lines 224 - 230) are from the original script. In the original Chris gave Special Thanks To "The Coding Genius Behind The Curtain" - so hat tip to both.

ICT All in One by GtraderICT All-in-One by GTrader – Description
This indicator is designed for traders who follow ICT or Smart Money Concepts. It helps you visualize key market sessions, time-based price levels, and structured macro behaviors in one clean and customizable tool.
The Killzone feature automatically draws session boxes for Asia, London, and New York (including AM, Lunch, and PM sessions). Each box can show the session name, high and low pivots, and can be customized with different colors, transparency levels, and labels.
You can also add horizontal lines at important times like the daily open or New York open. Up to five session open lines can be defined, each with customizable styles, colors, and optional text labels.
In addition, the indicator lets you display vertical time markers. These lines help you track key intraday moments such as killzone entries or important session changes. You can enable up to four of these, each with its own settings.
One of the most powerful features is the macro session tracker. This creates boxes during specific time windows where price action is monitored. It automatically draws the top and bottom price levels during that session and updates them live. It supports up to five macros and works best on lower timeframes like 1-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute charts.
The entire script respects your selected timezone, so all sessions and times are adjusted accordingly. Everything is customizable—from label sizes and colors to how many days of drawings are shown on your chart.
This script is ideal for traders who rely on time-of-day behavior, structured price action, and ICT methodologies.

Named SessionsShows London, New York and Tokyo sessions (and optionally Sydney).
Beginner-friendly - shows names of sessions, not just colors
Marks low and high of session
Shows if session is currently open
Session names can be customized
Session label is placed above or below depending on price move during session, visually indicating the trend (also works during open session)
Is displayed only on timeframes below 4H
How it works
Session trend is calculated simply by subtracting the session's opening price from the session's closing price (or current price if session is open).
If there is a gap before the session, the previous close is used instead of the first candle's open price.
