Developing Market Profile / TPO [Honestcowboy]The Developing Market Profile Indicator aims to broaden the horizon of Market Profile / TPO research and trading. While standard Market Profiles aim is to show where PRICE is in relation to TIME on a previous session (usually a day). Developing Market Profile will change bar by bar and display PRICE in relation to TIME for a user specified number of past bars.
What is a market profile?
"Market Profile is an intra-day charting technique (price vertical, time/activity horizontal) devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer. Steidlmayer was seeking a way to determine and to evaluate market value as it developed in the day time frame. The concept was to display price on a vertical axis against time on the horizontal, and the ensuing graphic generally is a bell shape--fatter at the middle prices, with activity trailing off and volume diminished at the extreme higher and lower prices."
For education on market profiles I recommend you search the net and study some profitable traders who use it.
Key Differences
Does not have a value area but distinguishes each column in relation to the biggest column in percentage terms.
Updates bar by bar
Does not take sessions into account
Shows historical values for each bar
While there is an entire education system build around Market Profiles they usually focus on a daily profile and in some cases how the value area develops during the day (there are indicators showing the developing value area).
The idea of trading based on a developing value area is what inspired me to build the Developing Market Profile.
🟦 CALCULATION
Think of this Developing Market Profile the same way as you would think of a moving average. On each bar it will lookback 200 bars (or as user specified) and calculate a Market Profile from those bars (range).
🔹Market Profile gets calculated using these steps:
Get the highest high and lowest low of the price range.
Separate that range into user specified amount of price zones (all spaced evenly)
Loop through the ranges bars and on each bar check in which price zones price was, then add +1 to the zones price was in (we do this using the OccurenceArray)
After it looped through all bars in the range it will draw columns for each price zone (using boxes) and make them as wide as the OccurenceArray dictates in number of bars
🔹Coloring each column:
The script will find the biggest column in the Profile and use that as a reference for all other columns. It will then decide for each column individually how big it is in % compared to the biggest column. It will use that percentage to decide which color to give it, top 20% will be red, top 40% purple, top 60% blue, top 80% green and all the rest yellow. The user is able to adjust these numbers for further customisation.
The historical display of the profiles uses plotchar() and will not only use the color of the column at that time but the % rating will also decide transparancy for further detail when analysing how the profiles developed over time. Each of those historical profiles is calculated using its own 200 past bars. This makes the script very heavy and that is why it includes optimisation settings, more info below.
🟦 USAGE
My general idea of the markets is that they are ever changing and that in studying that changing behaviour a good trader is able to distinguish new behaviour from old behaviour and adapt his approach before losing traders "weak hands" do.
A Market Profile can visually show a trader what kind of market environment we currently are in. In training this visual feedback helps traders remember past market environments and how the market behaved during these times.
Use the history shown using plotchars in colors to get an idea of how the Market Profile looked at each bar of the chart.
This history will help in studying how price moves at different stages of the Market Profile development.
I'm in no way an expert in trading Market Profiles so take this information with a grain of salt. Below an idea of how I would trade using this indicator:
🟦 SETTINGS
🔹MARKET PROFILING
Lookback: The amount of bars the Market Profile will look in the past to calculate where price has been the most in that range
Resolution: This is the amount of columns the Market Profile will have. These columns are calculated using the highest and lowest point price has been for the lookback period
Resolution is limited to a maximum of 32 because of pinescript plotting limits (64). Each plotchar() because of using variable colors takes up 2 of these slots
🔹VISUAL SETTINGS
Profile Distance From Chart: The amount of bars the market profile will be offset from the current bar
Border width (MP): The line thickness of the Market Profile column borders
Character: This is the character the history will use to show past profiles, default is a square.
Color theme: You can pick 5 colors from biggest column of the Profile to smallest column of the profile.
Numbers: these are for % to decide column color. So on default top 20% will be red, top 40% purple... Always use these in descending order
Show Market Profile: This setting will enable/disable the current Market Profile (columns on right side of current bar)
Show Profile History: This setting will enable/disable the Profile History which are the colored characters you see on each bar
🔹OPTIMISATION AND DEBUGGING
Calculate from here: The Market Profile will only start to calculate bar by bar from this point. Setting is needed to optimise loading time and quite frankly without it the script would probably exceed tradingview loading time limits.
Min Size: This setting is there to avoid visual bugs in the script. Scaling the chart there can be issues where the Market Profile extends all the way to 0. To avoid this use a minimum size bigger than the bugged bottom box
Cari dalam skrip untuk "sessions"
Intraday trading period indicatorI have created this indicator because I was in a need of simple indication of personal session time for my backtesting while practicing intraday Futures trading.
How it works:
1. Define your timezone.
2. Set Trading session start/end time.
3. Choose the colour you want to see your intraday session in.
Actual result: Your selected session is displayed with selected colour and within selected time period. Your are good to go.
It is not perfect for sure but it does what it needs to do and I think it is awesome.
Hope it will be useful for you and let the Profit be with you!
Turtle Soup IndicatorTurtle Soup Indicator plots a shape when we have a 20-period high or 20-period low.
Turtle Soup Setup
The Turtle Soup setup was published in the book Street Smarts by Laurence A Connors and Linda Raschke. You can learn about it there. It is a great setup for false breakouts or breakdowns in the group failure tests.
Going long
1) We have a new 20-period low
2) that must have occured at least four trading sessions earlier <- this is very important
Then we place a buy stop above 5-10 ticks or 5 to 10 cents above the previous 20-period low.
If filled immediately place a good til cancelled sell stop one tick or one cent below todays low.
Turtle Soup Plus One
Similar to above but occurs one day later. It should close at/below previous 20-period low.
Buy stop at earlier 20 day low. Cancel fi not filled on day 2.
Take partials within 2-6 bars on this one and trail stop rest of position.
Going short
Reverse
Time frames
Works on all timeframes. Only adjust stoplosses accordingly to chosen timeframe.
Settings
You can change the color, shape and placement of the indicator shape. I actually prefer a grey color for both highs and lows as the color actually doesn't add much information. The placement says it all but it is up to you to change this as you like.
90cycle @joshuuu90 minute cycle is a concept about certain time windows of the day.
This indicator has two different options. One uses the 90 minute cycle times mentioned by traderdaye, the other uses the cls operational times split up into 90 minutes session.
e.g. we can often see a fake move happening in the 90 minute window between 2.30am and 4am ny time.
The indicator draws vertical lines at the start/end of each session and the user is able to only display certain sessions (asia, london, new york am and pm)
For the traderdayes option, the indicator also counts the windows from 1 to 4 and calls them q1,q2,q3,q4 (q-quarter)

All-In-One Auto Anchored VWAPsA chart isn't trendy without a VWAP (which stands for volume weighted average price).
This indicator allows you to choose 3 different anchored VWAPs, and customize the anchor period from one of many different options, including:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Quarterly
- Yearly
- All Time
- Specific Pivots
- Specific Sessions
You can then choose whether you want to anchor to the open, highest or lowest value within that period.
The indicator will automatically update every time a new anchor point is triggered. Every VWAP has colors and standard deviation bands as an optional setting.
As interest in the script grows I will continue to add new features.
PM RTH AH VWAPs [vnhilton]FOR STOCKS ONLY.
Simply 3 different VWAPs for the pre-market, regular trading session, and the after hours, using session.is_ variables (not sure if they were recently added. Regardless, it would be nice to have a session.isfirstbar_postmarket variable to avoid having to write the code for calculating VWAP instead of simply using a ta.vwap function). Treats all 3 sections of the day as separate sessions with their own characteristics i.e. differing levels of liquidity and market dynamics. I would argue this is better than just using a VWAP calculated from the pre-market open until after hours close, as it would make using the VWAPs as a benchmark more accurate when taking trades at these different periods of the day.
[MiV] Trading SessionHello, everyone!
Today I want to present my new script, which I hope will help not only me!
I'm sure that many people, like me, went through such a stage as "building their strategy". This is when you sit and test on the history how you would enter or exit a trade.
Recently I was doing the same thing and realized that my "tests" involve night time, when in reality I would be asleep and not trading! So I decided to create an indicator that would display my "working hours" so that the backtest I conduct would be as realistic as possible.
Also this indicator is able to display sessions of major exchanges and forex working hours, so it will be useful not only for cryptocurrency lovers.
In addition, we don't always trade every day and, for example, I don't trade on Sunday. That's why we added a feature that "turns off" the day and does not highlight it in color if you're not planning to trade on that day.
And finally, I added a notification of the beginning and end of the trading session. A small thing, but it may also be a useful feature for those who like to sit at the chart!
I will be glad to receive any comments and suggestions!

Всем привет!
Хочу сегодня представить свой новый скрипт, который, надеюсь, поможет не только мне!
Уверен, что многие, как и я, проходили такой этап как "постройка своей стратегии". Это когда ты сидишь и тестируешь на истории то как бы ты входил или выходил из сделки.
Вот недавно я ровно также занимался этим и осознал, что мои "тесты" затрагивают и ночное время, когда в реальности я бы спал и не торговал! Поэтому я решил создать индикатор, который будет отображать мои "рабочие часы", чтобы бектест, который я провожу, был максимально реалистичным.
Также данный индикатор умеет отображать сессии крупных бирж и время работы форекса, так что полезным он будет не только для любителей криптовалюты.
Кроме того, мы же не всегда торгуем каждый день и например я не торгую в воскресенье. Поэтому добавлен функционал, который "выключает" день и не подсвечивает его цветом, если ты в этот день не планируешь торговать.
Ну и в заключении, добавил уведомление о начале и завершении торговой сессии. Мелочь, а тоже может быть полезной фичей для тех кто любит засесть за графиком!
Буду рад любым замечаниям и предложениям!
ICT Opening Lines [MK]Plots horizontal lines for the following opening times:
00:00 open
08:30 open
09:30 open
13:30 open
Opening lines can be used to monitor for power of 3/judas swings as per ICT teachings. The script allows the user to set a maximum timeframe for displaying the lines to keep HTF charts clean. Also an option is available to hide the lines after the market closes. If the hide option is used, the lines will be removed at 23:00.
Removing the lines after market closes ensures that the charts are clean when the market opens.
Labels can be displayed, colors and line styles can be customised.
Custom Trading Session HighlighterThe Custom Trading Session Highlighter is a simple yet powerful indicator that allows you to visualize specific trading sessions on your chart by highlighting the background within the specified time range. This indicator can be helpful for traders who want to focus on specific market hours or analyze the market behavior during certain time periods.
Features:
>Customizable start and end times: Input your desired trading session start and end times using the format "HHMM" (e.g., "0930" for 9:30 AM). The indicator allows you to select the time range in 30-minute intervals.
>Trading session background color: The specified trading session will be highlighted with a semi-transparent green color, making it easy to differentiate the session from the rest of the chart.
>Overlay: The indicator overlays on the price chart, so it doesn't take up any additional space on your screen.
How to use:
>Add the Custom Trading Session Highlighter to your chart.
>Configure the start and end times of the session you want to highlight using the input fields in the indicator settings.
>Observe the highlighted trading session on your chart to analyze market behavior within that specific time range.
Murder Algo Stats: last portion of Indices closing hour (S&P)Stats regarding the 'murder algo' (last 10mins of the closing hour). Works on all sub-1hr timeframes. Best used on 5min, 10min 15min timeframe. Ideal use on 10min timeframe.
Can be applied to other user input sessions also
What i'm calling the 'Murder Algo' is the tendency of dynamic lower time frame price action in the final 10minutes of the S&P closing hour (or any of the three major US indices: S&P, Nasdaq, Dow).
If there are un-met liquidity targets (i.e. clean highs or lows) as we come into the last portion of the closing hour, price has a tendency to stretch up or down to reach these targets, swiftly.
These statisitics are somewhat experimental/research; trying to quantify this tendency. Please comment below if you think of some additions / modifications that may prove useful.
//Purpose:
-To get statistics of the tendency to 'reach' of the final bar (10minute bar in the above) of the closing hour in Indices (3pm - 4pm NY time).
-Specifically to see how often price reaches for HH or LL in the final bar of the closing hour (most of the time); and to see how far it reaches one way when it does (Mean, median, mode).
//Notes:
-Two sets of historical stats; one is based on the 'solo reach' of the last bar; the other is based on the reach of the last bar from the average price of the preceding bars of the session (purple line in the above)
-Works on any timeframe below hourly. Ideally used on 10min timeframe, but may be interesting to plot on 15min or 5min timeframe also.
-Should also work on custom user-defined session; though this indicator was explicly designed to investigate the 'murder algo': that final rush and/or whipsaw tendency of price in the last few minutes of Regular trading on Indices.
-For S&P, best used on SPX, which gives the longest history of all the S&P variants due to only showing Regular trading hours bars (500 days of history on 10min timeframe, for premium users)
-For most stats, i've rounded to ES1! mintick (i.e. rounded to nearest quarter dollar) =>> This allows more meaningful values for 'mode' statistical measure.
-I trade S&P; but this 'muder algo' phenomenon also obviously presents in Nasdaq and Dow.
//User Inputs:
-Session time input (defaults to closing hour 3pm - 4pm NY time)
-Average method (for the average of all the input session EXCEPT the final bar)
-Toggle on/off Average line.
-other formatting options: text color, table position, line color/style/size.
Example usage with annotations on SPX 500 chart 15m timeframe; using closing hour (3pm-4pm NY time) as our session:

Tailored-Custom Hamonic Patterns█ OVERVIEW
We have included by default 3 known Patterns. The Bat, the Butterfly and the Gartley. But have you ever wondered how effective other,
not yet known models could be? Don't ask yourself the question anymore, it's time to find out for yourself! You have the option to customize
your own Patterns with the Backtesting tool and set Retracement Ratios and Targets for your own Patterns. In addition to this, in order to determine
the Trend at a glance and make Pattern detection more efficient, we have linked the calculation of Patterns to Bands of several types to choose
from (Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian) that you can select from a drop-down menu in the settings and play with the Multiplier
and the Adaptive Length of the Patterns to see how it affects the success rate in the Backtesting table.
█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Harmonic Patterns
-Pattern Names, Colors, Style etc… Everything is customizable.
-Dynamic Adaptative Length with Min/Max Length.
- XAB/ABC Ratio
-Min/Max XAB/ABC Configurable Ratio for each Pattern to create your own Patterns.
(This is really the particular option of this Indicator, because it allows you to be able to Backtest in real time
after having played at configuring your own Ratios)
- Bands
-Contrary to the original logic of the HeWhoMustNotBeNamed script, here when the price breaks out of the upper Bands
(example, Bollinger band, Keltner Channel or Donchian Channel) , with a predetermined Minimum and Maximum Length and Multiplier, we can consider
the Trend to be Bearish (and not Bullish) and similarly when the price breaks down in the lower band, we can consider the Trend
to be Bullish (not Bearish) . We have also added the middle line of the Channels (which can be useful for 'Scalper' type Traders.
-The Length of the Bands Filter is directly related to the Dynamic Length of the Patterns.
-You can use a drop-down menu to select from the following Bands Filters :
SMA, EMA, HMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HIGH/LOW, LINREG, MEDIAN.
-Sticky and Adaptive Bands options has been included.
- Projections
-BD/CD Projection Ratio configurable for each Pattern.
(Projections are visible as Dotted Lines which we can choose to Extend or not)
- Targets
-Target, PRZ and Stop Levels are set to optimal values based on individual Patterns. (The PRZ Level corresponds to point D
of the detected Pattern so its value should always be 0) but you can change the Targets value (defined in %) as you wish.
Again here, you have the option to fully configure the Style and Extend the Lines or not.
- Backtesting Table
-As said previously, with the possibility of testing the Success Rate of each of the 3 Customizable Patterns,
this option is part of the logic of this Indicator.
- Alerts
-We originally believe that this Indicator does not even need Alerts. But we still decided to include at least one Alert
that you can set for when a new Pattern is detected.
█ NOTES
Thanks to HeWhoMustNotBeNamed for his permission to reuse some part of his zigzag scripts.
Remember to only make a decision once you are sure of your analysis. Good trading sessions to everyone and don't forget,
risk management remains the most important!
time_filtersLibrary "time_filters"
Collection of filters that related with time like sessions and datetime ranges.
All existing session functions I found in the documentation e.g. not na(time(timeframe.period, sessionTimes))
are not suitable for strategies, since the execution of the entries and the exits are delayed by one bar.
Thus I created this library to overcome this small but very important limitation.

RTH & ETH TWAPs [vnhilton]Plots 2 different TWAPs for regular & extended trading sessions, with option for a plot fill between the 2 (for the definition of TWAP, look at the Help Center for the built-in TWAP indicator by TradingView). More focus should be put on RTH TWAP as it's more likely to be used than ETH TWAP unless high volume was transacted during extended hours. We make a big assumption that there're traders willing to buy/sell when price breaks below/above day TWAP, in anticipation for move to the opposite side (usually people who put in TWAP orders don't use the day TWAP, rather the TWAP calculated when they submit the order).
RS: Market ProfileA Market Profile (time price opportunity) implementation with an option to mark a point of control (POC) based on volume.
Config: Hide default candles. Select a session time using exchange timezone. Experiment with tick multiplier value to achieve desired level of detail. Choose the symbols of your choice, e.g. squares or A-Z chars. For multiple sessions you will have to add additional instances of this script with a different time configuration.
Limitations: TradingView has a hard limit for the number of characters (500), if it's reached, label rendering stops. Try increasing tick multiplier value to reduce the number of labels rendered or reduce the window size.
Features:
Use symbols or A-Z chars for TPOs
Mark POC
Calculate Value Area (volume or time based)
Highlight single prints (SP)
Highlight VWAP
Show daily bar
Highlight Open and Close
Highlight current price row (during live market)

Morning Option Pullback IndicatorI designed this indicator to help me identify Option CALL and PUT signals for the QQQ and SPY on the 1 min chart.
Summary of how it works
1. It identifies the Pre-Market channel High and Low and draws green and red lines for the day at these levels.
2. Waits for a morning or afternoon sessions breakout/breakdown of price out of that channel.
3. The buy a CALL or PUT signal is when price pulls back to the EMA Medium line after breaking out of the channel.
4. Settings allow adjusting of when the signal happens
5. EMA Short (5) and EMA Medium (20) must stay apart for a selectable number of bars
6. For a CALL signal, the Price and EMA Medium (20) must be above the Pre Market High line when price pulls back to EMA Medium (20) line
7. There is a selectable adjustment to allow the signal to trigger when the price comes within a close enough range of the EMA Medium and PM High lines
8. There is a TICK.US filter that you can use to only signal a CALL when the TICK.US 10 min chart shows the average of the EMA5 and EMA20 is over 100
9. It has Buy and Sell signal Alerts and user adjustable Stop Loss and Profit Taker settings.
10. EMA Settings are adjustable and can show up to 3 EMA's on the chart. I personally like the EMA5 and 20. Others may use something similar like 9 and 21. It's user selectable.
ICT Killzones [LuxAlgo]This script highlights ICT Killzones on the chart along with Fibonacci retracements constructed from each Killzone's price range, allowing traders to find more optimal entries.
Settings
Killzone Retracements
Show Retracements: Determines whether Fibonacci retracements are displayed on the chart.
Extend: Determines if the retracements are extended outside the Killzone.
Reverse: Switches the maximum and minimum levels for the calculation of the retracements.
Other settings allow disabling as well as changing the retracement value and color.
Usage
Killzones are introduced by forex trader ICT and represent different time intervals that aims at offering optimal trade entries. Killzones include:
New York Killzone (7:9 ET)
London Open Killzone (2:5 ET)
London Close Killzone (10:12 ET)
Asian Killzone (20:00 ET)
Note that using timeframes superior to 1h can highlight incorrect intervals
Fibonacci retracements on an active Killzone are subject to changes, if no Killzones are active then the associated Fibonacci retracements will stay at their current level.
Disabling specific Killzones while having extended retracements will allow them to extend further. In the image above the New York and Asian Killzones are disabled.

CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart)█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays cumulative volume delta (CVD) as an on-chart oscillator. It uses intrabar analysis to obtain more precise volume delta information compared to methods that only use the chart's timeframe.
The core concepts in this script come from our first CVD indicator , which displays CVD values as plot candles in a separate indicator pane. In this script, CVD values are scaled according to price ranges and represented on the main chart pane.
█ CONCEPTS
Bar polarity
Bar polarity refers to the position of the close price relative to the open price. In other words, bar polarity is the direction of price change.
Intrabars
Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. Each 1H chart bar of a 24x7 market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour. Mining information from intrabars can be useful in that it offers traders visibility on the activity inside a chart bar.
Lower timeframes (LTFs)
A lower timeframe is a timeframe that is smaller than the chart's timeframe. This script utilizes a LTF to analyze intrabars, or price changes within a chart bar. The lower the LTF, the more intrabars are analyzed, but the less chart bars can display information due to the limited number of intrabars that can be analyzed.
Volume delta
Volume delta is a measure that separates volume into "up" and "down" parts, then takes the difference to estimate the net demand for the asset. This approach gives traders a more detailed insight when analyzing volume and market sentiment. There are several methods for determining whether an asset's volume belongs in the "up" or "down" category. Some indicators, such as On Balance Volume and the Klinger Oscillator , use the change in price between bars to assign volume values to the appropriate category. Others, such as Chaikin Money Flow , make assumptions based on open, high, low, and close prices. The most accurate method involves using tick data to determine whether each transaction occurred at the bid or ask price and assigning the volume value to the appropriate category accordingly. However, this method requires a large amount of data on historical bars, which can limit the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available.
In the context where historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView, intrabar analysis is the most precise technique to calculate volume delta on historical bars on our charts. This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between simplicity and accuracy in calculating volume delta on historical bars. Our Volume Profile indicators use it as well. Other volume delta indicators in our Community Scripts , such as the Realtime 5D Profile , use real-time chart updates to achieve more precise volume delta calculations. However, these indicators aren't suitable for analyzing historical bars since they only work for real-time analysis.
This is the logic we use to assign intrabar volume to the "up" or "down" category:
• If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.
• If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.
• As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used.
Once all intrabars comprising a chart bar are analyzed, we calculate the net difference between "up" and "down" intrabar volume to produce the volume delta for the chart bar.
█ FEATURES
CVD resets
The "cumulative" part of the indicator's name stems from the fact that calculations accumulate during a period of time. By periodically resetting the volume delta accumulation, we can analyze the progression of volume delta across manageable chunks, which is often more useful than looking at volume delta accumulated from the beginning of a chart's history.
You can configure the reset period using the "CVD Resets" input, which offers the following selections:
• None : Calculations do not reset.
• On a fixed higher timeframe : Calculations reset on the higher timeframe you select in the "Fixed higher timeframe" field.
• At a fixed time that you specify.
• At the beginning of the regular session .
• On trend changes : Calculations reset on the direction change of either the Aroon indicator, Parabolic SAR , or Supertrend .
• On a stepped higher timeframe : Calculations reset on a higher timeframe automatically stepped using the chart's timeframe and following these rules:
Chart TF HTF
< 1min 1H
< 3H 1D
<= 12H 1W
< 1W 1M
>= 1W 1Y
Specifying intrabar precision
Ten options are included in the script to control the number of intrabars used per chart bar for calculations. The greater the number of intrabars per chart bar, the fewer chart bars can be analyzed.
The first five options allow users to specify the approximate amount of chart bars to be covered:
• Least Precise (Most chart bars) : Covers all chart bars by dividing the current timeframe by four.
This ensures the highest level of intrabar precision while achieving complete coverage for the dataset.
• Less Precise (Some chart bars) & More Precise (Less chart bars) : These options calculate a stepped LTF in relation to the current chart's timeframe.
• Very precise (2min intrabars) : Uses the second highest quantity of intrabars possible with the 2min LTF.
• Most precise (1min intrabars) : Uses the maximum quantity of intrabars possible with the 1min LTF.
The stepped lower timeframe for "Less Precise" and "More Precise" options is calculated from the current chart's timeframe as follows:
Chart Timeframe Lower Timeframe
Less Precise More Precise
< 1hr 1min 1min
< 1D 15min 1min
< 1W 2hr 30min
> 1W 1D 60min
The last five options allow users to specify an approximate fixed number of intrabars to analyze per chart bar. The available choices are 12, 24, 50, 100, and 250. The script will calculate the LTF which most closely approximates the specified number of intrabars per chart bar. Keep in mind that due to factors such as the length of a ticker's sessions and rounding of the LTF, it is not always possible to produce the exact number specified. However, the script will do its best to get as close to the value as possible.
As there is a limit to the number of intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, a tradeoff occurs between the number of intrabars analyzed per chart bar and the chart bars for which calculations are possible.
Display
This script displays raw or cumulative volume delta values on the chart as either line or histogram oscillator zones scaled according to the price chart, allowing traders to visualize volume activity on each bar or cumulatively over time. The indicator's background shows where CVD resets occur, demarcating the beginning of new zones. The vertical axis of each oscillator zone is scaled relative to the one with the highest price range, and the oscillator values are scaled relative to the highest volume delta. A vertical offset is applied to each oscillator zone so that the highest oscillator value aligns with the lowest price. This method ensures an accurate, intuitive visual comparison of volume activity within zones, as the scale is consistent across the chart, and oscillator values sit below prices. The vertical scale of oscillator zones can be adjusted using the "Zone Height" input in the script settings.
This script displays labels at the highest and lowest oscillator values in each zone, which can be enabled using the "Hi/Lo Labels" input in the "Visuals" section of the script settings. Additionally, the oscillator's value on a chart bar is displayed as a tooltip when a user hovers over the bar, which can be enabled using the "Value Tooltips" input.
Divergences occur when the polarity of volume delta does not match that of the chart bar. The script displays divergences as bar colors and background colors that can be enabled using the "Color bars on divergences" and "Color background on divergences" inputs.
An information box in the lower-left corner of the indicator displays the HTF used for resets, the LTF used for intrabars, the average quantity of intrabars per chart bar, and the number of chart bars for which there is LTF data. This is enabled using the "Show information box" input in the "Visuals" section of the script settings.
FOR Pine Script™ CODERS
• This script utilizes `ltf()` and `ltfStats()` from the lower_tf library.
The `ltf()` function determines the appropriate lower timeframe from the selected calculation mode and chart timeframe, and returns it in a format that can be used with request.security_lower_tf() .
The `ltfStats()` function, on the other hand, is used to compute and display statistical information about the lower timeframe in an information box.
• The script utilizes display.data_window and display.status_line to restrict the display of certain plots.
These new built-ins allow coders to fine-tune where a script’s plot values are displayed.
• The newly added session.isfirstbar_regular built-in allows for resetting the CVD segments at the start of the regular session.
• The VisibleChart library developed by our resident PineCoders team leverages the chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time variables to optimize the performance of this script.
These variables identify the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost visible bars on the chart, allowing the script to recalculate and draw objects only within the range of visible bars as the user scrolls.
This functionality also enables the scaling of the oscillator zones.
These variables are just a couple of the many new built-ins available in the chart.* namespace.
For more information, check out this blog post or look them up by typing "chart." in the Pine Script™ Reference Manual .
• Our ta library has undergone significant updates recently, including the incorporation of the `aroon()` indicator used as a method for resetting CVD segments within this script.

Look first. Then leap.
Remaining ATR [vnhilton]ATR levels can be used on a trading day to look for overextensions beyond the average, where you can look to take profits. Remaining ATR is calculated as the current day range subtracted by the previous day ATR. RATR is then plotted away from the high & low lines. All lines (except for the day open) are dynamic, so RATR lines will move according to how much RATR remains.
Note: This indicator only works on intraday timeframes
(FEATURES)
- Works on either RTH or ETH sessions
- Select Day ATR period, & 3 multipliers that will be applied to RATR values away from respective intraday high & low
- Extend current lines to the right
- Show recent lines only
- Change line style, colours within & out the intraday range, & thickness
- Change label offset, size, & colours within & out the intraday range
- Hide RATR lines & labels when within intraday range
- Plot fill between lines (note: RATR plot fills are from their lines to the intraday high & low, so there'll be overlapping)
To show more lines in the past, go to higher intraday timeframes.
Same chart & timeframe as above but on RTH session only.
ICT Killzone by JeawThis is an indicator script for TradingView called "ICT Killzone". It is a useful tool for identifying the London and New York open and close sessions, as well as the Asian range on the chart. The appearance of the "killzones" can be customized by selecting colors and transparencies for each session. Boxes can also be displayed around each session and labels with additional information can be added. This script is compatible with intraday charts and time multipliers up to 60 minutes. It was created by Jeaw and is based on the ideas of the ICT (Institutional Cash Trades) methodology. This script can help traders avoid entering the market during high impact news events and periods of low liquidity. By identifying these potentially volatile times, traders can better manage their risk and improve their overall trading strategy.
Daily Session Windows background highlight indicatorIn intraday studies of stock indexes and Forex I have this weird habit of highlighting premarket, core session, lunch break and extended session with different backgrounds. If done by hand, this is tedious work that has to be repeated daily.
I think this feature should be built-in in TradingView. But it isn't.
For a few months now, I have been using this tiny indicator that does precisely that job. It saved me literally hours of focus time and mistakes. I have decided to revamp it and release it. I'm sure it can be useful to others.
Features:
Background color highlighting for premarket , core session , lunch hour and extended session of the trading day.
Session timing preset to match US session, but can be customized.
Can be enabled or disabled on a day of the week basis, including week-end.
Timezone is selectable, matches the chart's instrument but can be set independently to track a different timezone.
Not affected by the timezone you decided to assign to the chat's time scale.
Ready for stock indexes, but can be used to highlight Forex sessions too.
