Macro+ ExtMacros+ (Time Sessions & Alerts)
Macros+ is a powerful and highly customizable tool designed to highlight specific time windows—often referred to as "macros"—directly on your chart. It is built for traders who operate on time-based strategies, such as those targeting specific liquidity periods like the ICT Silver Bullet or other institutional timeframes.
By visualizing these key sessions historically and in real-time, traders can better anticipate market volatility, identify potential trade setups, and maintain discipline. The script is clean, efficient, and built with flexibility in mind.
Key Features
This indicator goes beyond simple time boxes and includes several advanced features to fit your specific trading style:
1. Historical & Real-Time Display
The script is designed to plot all selected macro sessions across the entire historical data loaded on your chart, not just the current day. This allows for comprehensive backtesting and analysis of how price behaves during these specific time windows.
2. Fully Customizable Macro Sessions
You have full control over which time sessions you want to display. The indicator includes 14 pre-configured 20-minute sessions, which you can easily toggle on or off from the settings menu. This allows you to focus only on the timeframes that are relevant to your strategy.
3. Adjustable "Extended Macro" Time
Flexible Time Extension: Instead of a fixed session duration, you can now dynamically extend the start and end times of all macros.
Numerical Input: In the settings, under "Time Settings," you'll find an "Extend Minutes" input. This number lets you add minutes to both the beginning and the end of each session.
Example: A standard macro from 09:50 - 10:10 with an "Extend Minutes" value of 5 will be automatically adjusted to 09:45 - 10:15. Setting it to 0 will keep the default 20-minute sessions.
4. Multiple Display Styles
Adapt the indicator's appearance to your preference for a clean and readable chart. All styles are designed to span the full vertical height of the chart for maximum visibility.
Solid Line: Clear, solid vertical lines marking the start and end of a session.
Dashed Line: A more subtle, dashed-line alternative.
Dotted Line: The most subtle line style for a minimalist chart.
Background: Fills the entire session window with a semi-transparent color.
Outline: Draws a colored border around the session window without filling it.
5. Real-Time Alerts
Never miss the start of a key session again. You can enable an alert that will trigger once at the beginning of any active macro session. This is perfect for traders who may not be watching the charts constantly.
6. Timezone Correction
All times are calculated based on the timezone you select in the settings (default is "America/New_York"). This ensures the sessions are always plotted accurately according to the market you are trading (e.g., New York session times).
How to Use
Add to Chart: Add the "Macros+" indicator to your chart.
Open Settings:
General Settings: Choose your preferred Timezone, Display Style, and Color.
Active Macro Sessions: Check the boxes for the time sessions you wish to monitor.
Time Settings: Enter a value in Extend Minutes if you want to widen the time windows. A value of 5 will create 30-minute sessions.
Alert Settings: Enable the Alert On Macro Start option if you wish to receive alerts.
Create Alert: To activate the pop-up alert, click the clock icon on the TradingView right-hand panel, select "Macros+" in the "Condition" dropdown, choose "Sesi Makro Dimulai," and set it to trigger "Once Per Bar."
This tool was designed to be both powerful and user-friendly. I hope it becomes a valuable part of your trading toolkit. Happy trading!

Range Averages [Blu_Ju]Using Ranges
A popular analysis technique among traders is to use statistical price data over a given time range. For example, a trader might want to examine the average price range for the time period of 9:30 am - 10:00 am EST (commonly referred to as the Opening Range), and compare the average range to the current, live range as it forms.
What this Script Does
This script allows a user to monitor the current price range against the average price range of up to six different periods of time (sessions). The data is presented in a table in the chart window, with four stats listed per session:
Range: This is the most recent (or current) price range for the session. This value is updated in real-time as the price range forms.
Avg: This is the average price range for the session. (See below for how this is calculated.)
Diff: This is the price difference between the most recent (or current) price range of the session and the average price range of the session. When the most recent price range is smaller than the average, this will be a negative number. This value is updated in real-time as the price range forms.
Range %: This is the percent value of the most recent (or current) price range of the session compared to the average price range of the session. For example, If the most recent price range was half that of the average price range, the Range % would be 50%. If the most recent price range was twice that of the average price range, the Range % would be 200%. A Range % value of 100% indicates that the most recent price range is equal to the average price range. This value is updated in real-time as the price range forms.
What Makes this Script Unique
While this is not the only publicly available average range script, what makes it unique is the complete user control over up to six sessions (including overlapping sessions) and the display of that data.
Scope of this Script
This script is intended for use on intraday timeframes only. It will not calculate properly on daily or higher timeframes. Additionally, for the calculation to be correct, the input session must be evenly divisible by the chart timeframe. For example, if the user inputs a session that is 30 minutes long (e.g., 9:30 am - 10:00 am), then the calculations would be correct on the 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 30-minute timeframes only.
User Inputs
This script was written to provide the user with maximum control over the range data and how that data is displayed. These are the user inputs:
Data - Input the number of days used to calculate the average price range of the sessions. This input is applied to all six sessions. The default value is 10.
Sessions - There are six sessions the user can set. Checking the box next to a session will cause that session data to be calculated and displayed. This allows the user to turn on or off a session at their discretion. The default value are displayed in the chart image above.
Visibility - Checking this box will cause the range data to be displayed only when the range is currently forming (i.e., live price is within the session). This allows the user to display the data from multiple sessions only when needed.
Visual Styles - This section has controls for how the data table is displayed. The user can select the table position, colors and border, and text size.
Zinc Model [Mr Zinc x MMT]The Zinc Model is a TradingView indicator designed to assist traders by plotting key price levels from two defined trading sessions: the previous day's session (4:00 AM to 8:00 PM) and the current day's London session (4:00 AM to 9:15 AM). It overlays horizontal lines for session highs, lows, and midpoints (EQ levels), along with a vertical anchor line to mark session starts. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor its appearance and focus on specific sessions for strategic analysis.
Features
Session-Based Levels : Tracks and displays high, low, and midpoint (50% EQ) levels for two sessions: the previous day's session and the current day's London session.
Customizable Display : Users can toggle visibility of high, low, EQ levels, and session anchor lines, with options to adjust line styles, colors, and widths.
Session Selection : Configurable session show times (default: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in New York time) for displaying levels, with a projection offset to extend lines into future bars.
Labels: Optional labels for each level (High, Low, EQ) with customizable sizes (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large) for clear identification.
Time Zone Support : Anchors sessions to a specified time zone (default: America/New_York).
How It Works
The indicator calculates key price levels based on two user-defined sessions:
- Previous Day Session (4:00 AM–8:00 PM) : Tracks the high, low, and midpoint (50% of the range) of the previous day's session.
- London Session (4:00 AM–9:15 AM) : Tracks the high, low, and midpoint of the current day's London session.
- Levels Displayed :
High/Low Levels : Horizontal lines at the highest and lowest prices of each session.
EQ Level : A horizontal line at the 50% midpoint of the session's range.
Anchor Line : A vertical line marking the start of the user-defined display session.
- Levels are plotted during a user-specified "Show Session" time window (default: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM) and extended forward by a configurable number of bars (default: 15).
- The indicator updates dynamically as new highs or lows occur within the active session.
Usage
- Add to Chart : Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart.
- Configure Settings :
Session Settings : Adjust the "Session Show Time" (default: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM) and time zone to align with your trading strategy.
Projection Offset : Set the number of bars to extend level lines into the future.

High/Low/EQ Levels : Enable or disable lines and labels for each session's high, low, and midpoint, and customize their appearance.
Label Size : Choose from Tiny, Small, Normal, or Large for level labels.
- Interpret Levels :
High/Low Lines : Act as potential resistance (high) or support (low) levels.
EQ Line : Represents the session's midpoint, often a pivot point for price action.
Anchor Line : Marks the start of the display session for context.
- Trading Application : Use levels to identify support/resistance zones, set entry/exit points, or confirm breakouts during the specified session.
Settings
- Session Settings :
Session Show Time : Defines when levels are displayed (default: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM).
Projection Offset : Extends lines forward (default: 15 bars).
Time Zone : Sets the session time zone (default: America/New_York).

Volume Profile (Simple)Simple Volume Profile (Simple)
Master the Market's Structure with a Clear View of Volume
by mercaderoaurum
The Simple Volume Profile (Simple) indicator removes the guesswork by showing you exactly where the most significant trading activity has occurred. By visualizing the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) for today and yesterday, you can instantly identify the price levels that matter most, giving you a critical edge in your intraday trading.
This tool is specifically optimized for day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart, but it's fully customizable for any symbol or timeframe.
Key Features
Multi-Day Analysis: Automatically plots the volume profiles for the current and previous trading sessions, allowing you to see how today's market is reacting to yesterday's key levels.
Automatic Key Level Plotting: Instantly see the most important levels from each session:
Point of Control (POC): The single price level with the highest traded volume, acting as a powerful magnet for price.
Value Area High (VAH): The upper boundary of the area where 50% of the volume was traded. It often acts as resistance.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lower boundary of the 50% value area, often acting as support.
Extended Levels: The POC, VAH, and VAL from previous sessions are automatically extended into the current day, providing a clear map of potential support and resistance zones.
Customizable Sessions: While optimized for the US stock market, you can define any session time and time zone, making it a versatile tool for forex, crypto, and futures traders.
Core Trading Strategies
The Simple Volume Profile helps you understand market context. Instead of trading blind, you can now make decisions based on where the market has shown the most interest.
1. Identifying Support and Resistance
This is the most direct way to use the indicator. The extended lines from the previous day are your roadmap for the current session.
Previous Day's POC (pPOC): This is the most significant level. Watch for price to react strongly here. It can act as powerful support if approached from above or strong resistance if approached from below.
Previous Day's VAH (pVAH): Expect this level to act as initial resistance. A clean break above pVAH can signal a strong bullish trend.
Previous Day's VAL (pVAL): Expect this level to act as initial support. A firm break below pVAL can indicate a strong bearish trend.
Example Strategy: If SPY opens and rallies up to the previous day's VAH and stalls, this is a high-probability area to look for a short entry, with a stop loss just above the level.
2. The "Open-Drive" Rejection
How the market opens in relation to the previous day's value area is a powerful tell.
Open Above Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens above the pVAH, it signals strength. The first pullback to test the pVAH is often a key long entry point. The level is expected to flip from resistance to support.
Open Below Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens below the pVAL, it signals weakness. The first rally to test the pVAL is a potential short entry, as the level is likely to act as new resistance.
3. Fading the Extremes
When price pushes far outside the previous day's value area, it can become overextended.
Reversal at Highs: If price rallies significantly above the pVAH and then starts to lose momentum (e.g., forming bearish divergence on RSI or a topping pattern), it could be an opportunity to short the market, targeting a move back toward the pVAH or pPOC.
Reversal at Lows: Conversely, if price drops far below the pVAL and shows signs of bottoming, it can be a good opportunity to look for a long entry, targeting a reversion back to the value area.
Recommended Settings (SPY Intraday)
These settings are the default and are optimized for scalping or day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart.
Value Area (%): 50%. This creates a tighter, more sensitive value area, perfect for identifying the most critical intraday zones.
Number of Rows: 1000. This high resolution is essential for a low-volatility instrument like SPY, ensuring that the profile is detailed and the levels are precise.
Session Time: 0400-1800 in America/New_York. This captures the full pre-market and core session, which is crucial for understanding the day's complete volume story.

ICT Average Daily Range (ADR)📊 ICT Average Daily Range (ADR) Indicator
This indicator implements the Average Daily Range (ADR) concept taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). It calculates the average range of previous trading days and projects key levels for the current session, helping traders identify high-probability targets and reversal zones.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✨ KEY FEATURES
- Accurate ADR Calculation - Uses only completed trading sessions (excludes current incomplete day)
- ICT Judas Swing Levels - Highlights the critical 1/3 ADR levels where institutional manipulation often occurs
- Two Calculation Modes - New York Midnight (ICT recommended) or Classic Daily
- Customizable Fractional Levels - 1/3, 2/3, 25%, 50%, 75% of ADR
- Smart Labels - Display price levels and percentage from open
- Flexible Visual Style - Separate line styles for different level groups
- Session Dividers - Optional vertical lines at session start
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📅 WEEKEND SESSION HANDLING
How Forex Sessions Work:
- Monday-Thursday: Full 24-hour sessions
- Friday: Partial session (00:00 to ~17:00 NY time)
- Sunday: Partial session (~17:00 NY to Monday 00:00)
- Saturday: No trading
Impact on ADR:
Both Friday and Sunday are partial sessions which can lower your ADR average. For example: Mon-Thu average 100 pips, Fri 70 pips, Sun 30 pips = 5-day ADR of 80 pips.
Other Markets:
- Crypto: 24/7 trading, no partial days
- Futures/Stocks: No Sunday session
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 ICT CONCEPTS
Average Daily Range (ADR)
Statistical measure of average price movement per day. Acts as a "magnet" for price - markets tend to fulfill their ADR.
1/3 ADR Levels - "Judas Swing"
ICT's signature concept for identifying manipulation zones. Price often sweeps these levels to trap retail traders before reversing. High-probability reversal areas during London/NY sessions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE

Time-Based VWAP (TVWAP)(TVWAP) Indicator
The Time-Based Volume Weighted Average Price (TVWAP) indicator is a customized version of VWAP designed for intraday trading sessions with defined start and end times. Unlike the traditional VWAP, which calculates the volume-weighted average price over an entire trading day, this indicator allows you to focus on specific time periods, such as ICT kill zones (e.g., London Open, New York Open, Power Hour). It helps crypto scalpers and advanced traders identify price deviations relative to volume during key trading windows.

You can set the exact start and end times for the VWAP calculation using input settings for hours and minutes (24-hour format).
Ideal for analyzing short, high-liquidity periods.
Dynamic Accumulation of Price and Volume:
The indicator resets at the beginning of the specified session and accumulates price-volume data until the end of the session.
Ensures that the TVWAP reflects the weighted average price specific to the chosen session.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots the TVWAP line only during the specified time window, providing a clear visual reference for price action during that period.
Outside the session, the TVWAP line is hidden (na).
Use Cases:
ICT Scalp Trading:
Monitor price rebalances or potential liquidity sweeps near TVWAP during important trading sessions.
Mean Reversion Strategies:
Detect pullbacks toward the session’s average price for potential entry points.
Breakout Confirmation:
Confirm price direction relative to TVWAP during kill zones or high-volume times to determine if a breakout is supported by volume.
Inputs:
Start Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation starts.
End Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation ends.
Technical Explanation:
The indicator uses the timestamp function to create time markers for the session start and end.
During the session, the price-volume (close * volume) is accumulated along with the total volume.
TVWAP is calculated as:
TVWAP = (Sum of (Price × Volume)) ÷ (Sum of Volume)
Once the session ends, the TVWAP resets for the next trading period.
Customization Ideas:
Alerts: Add notifications when the price touches or deviates significantly from TVWAP.
Different Colors: Use different line colors based on upward or downward trends.
Multiple Sessions: Add support for multiple TVWAP lines for different time periods (e.g., London + New York).
IME's Community First Presented FVGsIME's Community First Presented FVGs v1.5 - Advanced Implementation
ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
This indicator advances beyond basic Fair Value Gap detection by implementing a sophisticated 24-hour FVG lifecycle management system aligned with institutional trading patterns. While many FVG indicators simply detect gaps and extend them indefinitely, this implementation introduces temporal intelligence that mirrors how institutional algorithms actually manage these inefficiencies.
Key Innovations that set this apart:
- 24-Hour Lifecycle Management: FVGs extend dynamically until 16:59, then freeze until removal at 17:00 next day
- Institutional Day Alignment: Recognizes 18:00-16:59 trading cycles vs standard calendar days
- Multi-Session Detection: Simultaneous monitoring of Midnight, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions
- Advanced Classification System: A.FVG detection with volume imbalance analysis vs classic FVG patterns
- Volatility Settlement Logic: Blocks contamination from opening mechanics (3:01+, 0:01+, 13:31+ rules)
- Visual Enhancement System: C.E. lines, contamination warnings, dark mode support with proper transparency handling
BASED ON ICT CONCEPTS
This indicator implements First Presented Fair Value Gap methodology taught by ICT (Inner Circle Trader). The original F.P. FVG concepts, timing rules, and session-based detection are credited to ICT's educational material. This implementation extends those foundational concepts with advanced lifecycle management and institutional alignment features.
ICT's Core F.P. FVG Rules Implemented:
- First clean FVG after session opening (avoids opening contamination)
- 3-candle pattern requirement for valid detection
- Session-specific timing windows and volatility settlement
- Consequent Encroachment level identification
IME's Advanced Enhancements:
- Automated lifecycle management with institutional day recognition
- Multi-session simultaneous monitoring with proper isolation
- Advanced visual system with transparency states for aged FVGs
- A.FVG classification with volume imbalance detection algorithms
HOW IT WORKS
Core Detection Engine
The indicator monitors four key institutional sessions using precise timing windows:
- Midnight Session: 00:01-00:30 (blocks 00:00 contamination)
- London Session: 03:01-03:30 (blocks 03:00 contamination)
- NY AM Session: 09:30-10:00 (configurable 9:30 detection)
- NY PM Session: 13:31-14:00 (blocks 13:30 contamination)
During each session window, the algorithm scans for the first valid FVG pattern using ICT's 3-candle rule while applying volatility settlement principles to avoid false signals from opening mechanics.
Advanced Classification System
Classic FVG Detection:
Standard 3-candle wick-to-wick gap where candle 1 and 3 don't overlap, creating an inefficiency that institutions must eventually fill.
A.FVG (Advanced FVG) Detection:
Enhanced pattern recognition that includes volume imbalance analysis (deadpool detection) to identify more significant institutional inefficiencies. A.FVGs incorporate both the basic gap plus additional price imbalances between candle bodies, creating larger, more significant levels.
24-Hour Lifecycle Management
Phase 1 - Dynamic Extension (Creation Day):
From detection until 16:59 of creation day, FVGs extend in real-time as new bars form, maintaining their relevance as potential support/resistance levels.
Phase 2 - Freeze Period (Next Day):
At 16:59, FVGs stop extending and "freeze" at their final size, remaining visible as reference levels but no longer growing. This prevents outdated levels from contaminating fresh analysis.
Phase 3 - Cleanup (17:00 Next Day):
Exactly 24+ hours after creation, FVGs are automatically removed to maintain chart clarity. This timing aligns with institutional trading cycle completion.
Institutional Day Logic
The algorithm recognizes that institutional trading days run from 18:00-16:59 (not midnight-midnight). This alignment ensures FVGs are managed according to institutional timeframes rather than arbitrary calendar boundaries.
Contamination Avoidance System
Volatility Settlement Principle:
Opening mechanics create artificial volatility that can produce false FVG signals. The indicator automatically blocks detection during exact session opening times (X:00) and requires settlement time (X:01+) before identifying clean institutional inefficiencies.
Special NY AM Handling:
Provides configurable 9:30 detection for advanced users who want to capture potential opening range FVGs, with clear visual warnings about contamination risk.
VISUAL SYSTEM
Color Intelligence
- Current Day FVGs: Full opacity with session-specific colors
- Previous Day FVGs: 70% transparency for historical reference
- Special Timing (9:30): Dedicated warning color with alert labels
- Dark Mode Support: Automatic text/line color adaptation
Enhanced Visual Elements
C.E. (Consequent Encroachment) Lines:
Automatically calculated 50% levels within each FVG, representing the most likely fill point based on institutional behavior patterns. These levels extend and freeze with their parent FVG.
Contamination Warnings:
Visual alerts when FVGs are detected during potentially contaminated timing, helping traders understand signal quality.
Session Identification:
Clear labeling system showing FVG type (FVG/A.FVG), session origin (NY AM, London, etc.), and creation date for easy reference.
HOW TO USE
Basic Setup
1. Session Selection: Enable/disable specific sessions based on your trading strategy
2. FVG Type: Choose between Classic FVGs or A.FVGs depending on your analysis preference
3. Visual Preferences: Adjust colors, text size, and enable dark mode if needed
Trading Applications
Intraday Reference Levels:
Use current day FVGs as potential support/resistance for price action analysis. The dynamic extension ensures levels remain relevant throughout the trading session.
Multi-Session Analysis:
Monitor how price interacts with FVGs from different sessions to understand institutional flow and market structure.
C.E. Level Trading:
Focus on the 50% consequent encroachment levels for high-probability entry points when price approaches FVG zones.
Historical Context:
Previous day FVGs (shown with transparency) provide context for understanding market structure evolution across multiple trading days.
Advanced Features
9:30 Special Detection:
For experienced traders, enable 9:30 FVG detection to capture opening range inefficiencies, but understand the contamination risks indicated by warning labels.
A.FVG vs Classic Toggle:
Switch between detection modes based on market conditions - A.FVGs for trending environments, Classic FVGs for ranging conditions.
Best Practices
- Use on 1-minute to 15-minute timeframes for optimal session detection
- Combine with other institutional concepts (order blocks, liquidity levels) for comprehensive analysis
- Pay attention to transparency states - current day FVGs are more actionable than previous day references
- Consider C.E. levels as primary targets rather than full FVG fills

Historical Data: 1H Edge NQ [Herman]Historical Data: 1H Edge NQ
This Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with visual tools and historical statistical insights for analyzing hourly price behavior on the Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ) contract.
It focuses on key concepts such as Opening Ranges (OR) and Trading Windows (TW), drawing from established trading principles like session-based ranges and return probabilities.
This unique indicator stands out by incorporating pre-computed statistics derived from over 4 years of 1-minute timeframe data, offering detailed hourly probabilistic insights in an editable sticky note format—making it a distinctive tool for in-depth analysis.
The goal is to help users visualize potential price dynamics and assess historical tendencies, enabling more informed decision-making based on past data patterns.
All calculations are based on historical price action, and the indicator does not make predictions or generate trading signals—it simply displays pre-computed statistics and visual aids for educational and analytical purposes.
Key Features and Visual ElementsVertical Lines for Time Sessions:
Orange Line - Opening Range Midline (50%)
Horizontal Dotted Lines - Opening Range High and Low
Solid Red Line - Midnight Open
Dashed Vertical lines - Opening range and trading window start/close times
Blue Dashed Line - Trading Window Candle Open
The indicator marks the start of the user-selected Opening Range (OR) and Trading Window (TW) with customizable vertical lines.
These represent the time periods where the OR is formed (e.g., 02:00-03:00 NY time) and where trading activity is observed (e.g., 03:00-04:00 NY time).
Users can adjust these sessions via inputs for flexibility across different hours.
-Horizontal Lines for Price Levels:Opening Range High and Low:
-Solid or dashed lines (customizable) show the high and low of the selected OR, extended horizontally to highlight potential support/resistance levels during the TW.
-50% OR Midpoint: An optional dashed line at the midpoint (50%) of the OR, which serves as a reference for mean reversion analysis.
-Trading Window Open Price: A line marking the open price at the start of the TW, useful for tracking returns to this level.
-Midnight Open (Red Line): A dedicated red horizontal line indicating the open price at midnight (00:00 NY time), which acts as a daily reference point for overnight price action.
Statistical Display via Sticky Note and Table:A customizable "Sticky Note" table displays pre-computed backtest results for the selected OR hour, including sections for combined results, above-midnight scenarios, and below-midnight scenarios. Content is user-editable via inputs.
A main info table shows session details, total historical sessions, and probabilities for returns (if enabled).
Customization Options: Users can toggle visuals, adjust colors, styles, widths, positions, and themes (light/dark). The indicator supports up to 500 lines/labels/boxes for historical drawing.
Logic and PrincipleThe indicator operates on a per-hour basis, treating each hour (0-23 NY time) as an independent "session" for analysis:Session Definition:
For any given hour (e.g., 02:00), the OR is the high/low range formed in that hour.
The TW is the subsequent hour where price action is tracked.
Tracking Price Action: During the TW, the script checks if price "sweeps" (crosses) the OR high or low. It then monitors for "returns"—instances where price crosses back to the TW open price or the 50% midpoint of the OR after a sweep.
Statistical Calculation: Probabilities are derived from historical counts:Total sessions: Number of historical days where data was available for that hour.
Return to TW Open: Percentage of sessions where, after sweeping OR high/low, price returned to the TW open (calculated as returns / total sessions with sweeps).
Return to 50% OR: Similar percentage for returning to the OR midpoint.
These are computed cumulatively across all historical bars loaded on the chart, resetting flags daily to ensure independence per session. No real-time predictions are made; stats accumulate from past data.
Midnight Open Integration: The red line resets daily at 00:00 NY, providing context for overnight gaps or continuations.
Breakout Origin: Scans recent bars for conditions where a breakout from OR occurs without opposite direction breach, drawing lines to the origin bar's open for visual reference.
The core principle is rooted in range-based analysis, a common technical approach where traders observe how price interacts with session highs/lows and midpoints.
By quantifying historical return rates after sweeps, the indicator highlights tendencies like mean reversion or continuation, but all insights are retrospective and depend on the loaded data.
Data Source and BacktestingThe statistical data embedded in the sticky notes (e.g., return percentages, sweep rates) was generated using Python in a Jupyter Notebook environment.
It analyzes approximately 1089 days (about 4 years) of 1-minute historical data for NQ futures, sourced BacktestMarket.
The backtests focused on NY time sessions, calculating metrics like:Sweep rates (e.g., first sweep high after above-midpoint open).
Return probabilities post-sweep.
Conditional splits (above/below midnight open).
These pre-computed values are hardcoded into the script via text areas for display, ensuring transparency.
Note: Historical performance is not indicative of future results; this is for analytical reference only.
Purpose and UsageThis indicator aims to assist traders in evaluating price direction potential by combining visual session markers with historical probabilities.
For example:If historical data shows a high probability of returning to the 50% OR after a sweep, it might suggest monitoring for mean reversion.

My auto dual avwap with Auto swing low/pivot low finderWelcome to My Auto Dual AVWAP with Auto Swing Low/Pivot Low Finder – an open-source TradingView indicator designed to enhance your technical analysis toolbox. This indicator is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is available for anyone to study, modify, and distribute.
Key Features
Auto Pivot/Swing Low Finder:
In addition to VWAP lines, the indicator incorporates an automatic detection mechanism for swing lows/pivot lows. This feature assists in identifying potential support areas and price reversals, further enhancing your trading strategy.
Dual VWAP Calculation with high/low range:
The indicator calculates two separate volume-weighted average price (VWAP) lines based on different price inputs (low and high prices) and defined time sessions. This allows traders to gain a more nuanced view of market activity during specific trading periods.
Customizable Time Sessions:
You can specify distinct start and end times for each VWAP calculation session. This flexibility helps you align the indicator with your preferred trading hours or market sessions, making it adaptable to various time zones and trading styles.
Easy to Customize:
With clear code structure and detailed comments, the script is designed to be accessible even for traders who want to customize or extend its functionality. Whether you're a seasoned coder or just starting out, the code is written with transparency in mind.
How It Works
Session Initialization:
The script sets up two distinct time sessions using user-defined start and end times. For each session, it detects the beginning of the trading period to reset cumulative values.
Cumulative Calculations:
During each session, the indicator accumulates the product of price and volume as well as the total volume. The VWAP is then computed as the ratio of these cumulative values.
Dual Data Sources:
Two separate data inputs (using low and high prices) are used to calculate two VWAP lines. This dual approach provides a broader perspective on market trends and can help in identifying dynamic support and resistance levels.
Visualization:
The calculated VWAP lines are plotted directly on your chart with distinct colors and thickness settings for easy visualization. This makes it simple to interpret the data at a glance.
Why Use This Indicator?

Globex Trap w/ percentage [SLICKRICK]Globex Trap w/ Percentage
Overview
The Globex Trap w/ Percentage indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities by analyzing price action during the Globex (overnight) session and regular trading hours. By combining Globex session ranges with Supply & Demand zones, this indicator highlights potential "trap" areas where significant price reactions may occur. Additionally, it calculates the Globex session range as a percentage of the daily Average True Range (ATR), providing valuable context for assessing market volatility.
This indicator is ideal for traders in futures markets or other instruments traded during Globex sessions, offering a visual and analytical edge for spotting key price levels and potential reversals or breakouts.
Key Features
Globex Session Tracking:
Visualizes the high and low of the Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST) with customizable time settings.
Displays a semi-transparent box to mark the Globex range, with labels for "Globex High" and "Globex Low."
Calculates the Globex range as a percentage of the daily ATR, displayed as a label for quick reference.
Supply & Demand Zones:
Identifies Supply & Demand zones during regular trading hours (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST) with customizable time settings.
Draws semi-transparent boxes to highlight these zones, aiding in the identification of key support and resistance areas.
Trap Area Identification:
Highlights potential trap zones where Globex ranges and Supply & Demand zones overlap, indicating areas where price may reverse or consolidate due to trapped traders.
Customizable Settings:
Adjust Globex and Supply & Demand session times to suit your trading preferences.
Toggle visibility of Globex and Supply & Demand zones independently.
Customize box colors for better chart readability.
Set the lookback period (default: 10 days) to control how many historical zones are displayed.
Configure the ATR length (default: 14) for the percentage calculation.
PST Timezone Default:
All times are based on Pacific Standard Time (PST) by default, ensuring accurate session tracking for users in this timezone or those aligning with U.S. West Coast market hours.
Recommended Usage
Timeframes: Best used on 1-hour charts or lower (e.g., 15-minute, 5-minute) for precise entry and exit points.
Markets: Optimized for futures (e.g., ES, NQ, CL) and other instruments traded during Globex sessions.
Historical Data: Ensure at least 10 days of historical data for optimal visualization of zones.
Strategy Integration: Use the indicator to identify potential reversals or breakouts at Globex highs/lows or Supply & Demand zones. The ATR percentage provides context for whether the Globex range is significant relative to typical daily volatility.
How It Works
Globex Session:
Tracks the high and low prices during the user-defined Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST).
When the session ends, a box is drawn from the start to the end of the session, capturing the high and low prices.
Labels are placed at the midpoint of the session, showing "Globex High," "Globex Low," and the range as a percentage of the daily ATR (e.g., "75.23% of Daily ATR").
Supply & Demand Zones:
Tracks the high and low prices during the user-defined regular trading hours (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST).
Draws a box to mark these zones, which often act as key support or resistance levels.
ATR Percentage:
Calculates the Globex range (high minus low) and divides it by the daily ATR to express it as a percentage.
This metric helps traders gauge whether the overnight price movement is significant compared to the instrument’s typical volatility.
Time Handling:
Uses PST (UTC-8) for all time calculations, ensuring accurate session timing for users aligning with this timezone.
Properly handles overnight sessions that cross midnight, ensuring seamless tracking.
Input Settings
Globex Session Settings:
Show Globex Session: Enable/disable Globex session visualization (default: true).
Globex Start/End Time: Set the start and end times for the Globex session (default: 3:00 PM to 6:30 AM PST).
Globex Box Color: Customize the color of the Globex session box (default: semi-transparent gray).
Supply & Demand Zone Settings:
Show Supply & Demand Zone: Enable/disable zone visualization (default: true).
Zone Start/End Time: Set the start and end times for Supply & Demand zones (default: 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST).
Zone Box Color: Customize the color of the zone box (default: semi-transparent aqua).
General Settings:
Days to Look Back: Number of historical days to display zones (default: 10).
ATR Length: Period for calculating the daily ATR (default: 14).
Notes
All times are in Pacific Standard Time (PST). Adjust the start and end times if your market operates in a different timezone or if you prefer different session windows.
The indicator is optimized for instruments with active Globex sessions, such as futures. Results may vary for non-24/5 markets.
A typo in the label "Globe Low" (should be "Globex Low") will be corrected in future updates.
Ensure your TradingView chart is set to display sufficient historical data to view the full lookback period.

ATR Dashboard (Pane Only)🔧 Core Logic
ATR Source: Multi-timeframe ATR (default 1H while trading 5m/15m).
Threshold Rule:
TREND = ATR > (ATR_SMA × k)
NORMAL = otherwise
Sessions: Only evaluates during London (02:00–07:00 ET) and New York (07:00–11:30 ET) by default.
Smoothing: ATR compared against its SMA (default 10-period).
k Multiplier: Controls sensitivity (default 1.20).
🖥️ Visuals
✅ TREND: Green label (or green background if enabled).
⚪ NORMAL: Gray label.
⏸️ OUT OF SESSION: Dim label, so you don’t force trades off-hours.
📊 Optional panel shows ATR, ATR_SMA, and Threshold values in real time.
📊 Dashboard + Overlay Combo
Use this overlay on your chart TF for tactical entries.
Pair with an ATR Dashboard (pane) on a higher TF (like 1H) for the strategic backdrop.
Overlay TREND + Dashboard TREND → High conviction trending environment.
Overlay TREND but Dashboard NORMAL → Fragile breakout, trade smaller or pass.
Both NORMAL → Chop/range → stick to 1:1.4 BE rules.
⚖️ Trading Playbook Integration
NORMAL Mode (ATR below threshold)
50% partial at 1R.
BE @ 1:1.4.
Runner capped at 2R.
TREND Mode (ATR above threshold)
50% partial at 1R.
BE @ 1:1.6.
Remainder trails ATR ×1.5.
Reserve ~15% of trend trades as no-partials for fat-tail home runs (4R–6R+).
🔔 Alerts
ATR Trend ON (in session) → “ATR > Threshold → Switch to TREND BE (1:1.6).”
ATR Trend OFF (in session) → “ATR ≤ Threshold → Switch to NORMAL BE (1:1.4).”
Perfect for getting pinged the moment volatility regime flips.
📌 Tips
k = 1.20 → balanced (default).
k = 1.10–1.15 → more TREND calls (sensitive).
k = 1.30+ → only strongest trends count.
Run it with overlay ON chart TF for execution, and dashboard on HTF for context.
Best used during active London/NY sessions.
✅ This isn’t a signal generator. It’s a regime filter + risk manager.
It keeps you from chasing chop and helps you mechanically switch BE rules without hesitation.
⚡ Pro tip: Combine with a Trend Continuation HUD, Elliott Wave Convergence overlay, or a Bollinger+RSI/MFI reversal scanner for a full tactical playbook.

Overnight High/LowThe script identifies the Overnight High (the highest price) and Overnight Low (the lowest price) for a trading instrument during a specified overnight session. It then plots these levels on the chart for reference in subsequent trading sessions.
Key Features:
Time Settings:
The script defines the start (startHour) and end (endHour + endMinute) times for the overnight session.
The session spans across two calendar days, such as 5:00 PM (17:00) to 9:30 AM (09:30).
Tracking High and Low:
During the overnight session, the script dynamically tracks:
Overnight High: The highest price reached during the session.
Overnight Low: The lowest price reached during the session.
Reset Mechanism:
After the overnight session ends (at the specified end time), the script resets the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables, preparing for the next session.
Visual Representation:
The script uses horizontal dotted lines to plot:
A green line for the Overnight High.
A red line for the Overnight Low.
These lines extend to the right of the chart, providing visual reference points for traders.
How It Works:
Session Detection:
The script checks whether the current time falls within the overnight session:
If the hour is greater than or equal to the start hour (e.g., 17:00).
Or if the hour is less than or equal to the end hour (e.g., 09:30), considering the next day.
The end minute (e.g., 30 minutes past the hour) is also considered for precision.
High and Low Calculation:
During the overnight session:
If the overnightHigh is not yet defined, it initializes with the current candle's high.
If already defined, it updates by comparing the current candle's high to the existing overnightHigh using the math.max function.
Similarly, overnightLow is initialized or updated using the math.min function.
Post-Session Reset:
After the session ends, the script clears the overnightHigh and overnightLow variables by setting them to na (not available).
Line Drawing:
The script draws horizontal dotted lines for the Overnight High and Low during and after the session.
The lines extend indefinitely to the right of the chart.
Benefits:
Visual Aid: Helps traders quickly identify overnight support and resistance levels, which are critical for intraday trading.
Automation: Removes the need for manually plotting these levels each day.
Customizable: Time settings can be adjusted to match different markets or trading strategies.
This script is ideal for traders who use the overnight range as part of their analysis for breakouts, reversals, or trend continuation strategies.
