Time Window Optimizer [theUltimator5]The Time Window Optimizer is designed to identify the most profitable 30-minute trading windows during regular market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM EST). This tool helps traders optimize their intraday strategies by automatically discovering time periods with the highest historical performance or allowing manual selection for custom analysis. It also allows you to select manual timeframes for custom time period analysis. 🏆 Automatic Window Discovery The core feature of this indicator is its intelligent Auto-Find Best 30min Window system that analyzes all 13 possible 30-minute time slots during market hours. How the Algorithm Works: Concurrent Analysis: The indicator simultaneously tracks performance across all 13 time windows (9:30-10:00, 10:00-10:30, 10:30-11:00... through 15:30-16:00) Daily Performance Tracking: For each window, it captures the percentage change from window open to window close on every trading day Cumulative Compounding: Daily returns are compounded over time to show the true long-term performance of each window, starting from a normalized value of 1.0 Dynamic Optimization: The system continuously identifies the window with the highest cumulative return and highlights it as the optimal choice Statistical Validation: Performance is validated through multiple metrics including average daily returns, win rates, and total sample size Visual Representation: Best Window Line: The top-performing window is displayed as a thick colored line for easy identification All 13 Lines (optional): Users can view performance lines for all time windows simultaneously to compare relative performance Smart Coloring: Lines are color-coded (green for gains, red for losses) with the best performer highlighted in a user-selected color 📊 Comprehensive Performance Analysis The indicator provides detailed statistics in an information table: Average Daily Return: Mean percentage change per trading session Cumulative Return: Total compounded performance over the analysis period Win Rate: Percentage of profitable days (colored green if ≥50%, red if <50%) Buy & Hold Comparison: Shows outperformance vs. simple buy-and-hold strategy Sample Size: Number of trading days analyzed for statistical significance 🛠️ User Settings imgur.com Auto-Optimization Controls: Auto-Find Best Window: Toggle to enable/disable automatic optimization Show All 13 Lines: Display all time window performance lines simultaneously Best Window Line Color: Customize the color of the top-performing window Manual Mode: imgur.com Custom Time Window: Set any desired time range using session format (HHMM-HHMM) Crypto Support: Built-in timezone offset adjustment for cryptocurrency markets Chart Type Options: Switch between candlestick and line chart visualization Visual Customization: imgur.com Background Highlighting: Optional background color during active time windows Candle Coloring: Custom colors for bullish/bearish candles within the time window Table Positioning: Flexible placement of the statistics table anywhere on the chart 🔧 Technical Features Market Compatibility: Stock Markets: Optimized for traditional market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM EST) Cryptocurrency: Includes timezone offset adjustment for 24/7 crypto markets Exchange Detection: Automatically detects crypto exchanges and applies appropriate settings Performance Optimization: Efficient Calculation: Uses separate arrays for each time block to minimize computational overhead Real-time Updates: Dynamically updates the best-performing window as new data becomes available Memory Management: Optimized data structures to handle large datasets efficiently 💡 Use Cases Strategy Development: Identify the most profitable trading hours for your specific instruments Risk Management: Focus trading activity during historically successful time periods Performance Comparison: Evaluate whether time-specific strategies outperform buy-and-hold Market Analysis: Understand intraday patterns and market behavior across different time windows 📈 Key Benefits Data-Driven Decisions: Base trading schedules on historical performance data Automated Analysis: No manual calculation required - the algorithm does the work Flexible Implementation: Works in both automated discovery and manual selection modes Comprehensive Metrics: Multiple performance indicators for thorough analysis Visual Clarity: Clear, color-coded visualization makes interpretation intuitive This indicator transforms complex intraday analysis into actionable insights, helping traders optimize their time allocation and improve overall trading performance through systematic, data-driven approach to market timing.

Historical Year OverlayThis script allows you to simply source any historical calendar year and overlay it over any other year (usually a historical year overlaying a year in the future). It was made using an LLM for coding help and logic. It is great for working out potential pivots and it also maps the previous profit/loss from the source year over the plot year so that we can see the connection to price levels throughout the plot year and also with the yearly close (we get a horizontal line for the close). It uses the year open as a price reference to plot the P&L over the plot year (if use plot year option is selected). if the year has not started yet you can use the "manual opening price" OR it will auto set to the current price (great for "replay mode", it will catch the actual opening price once it happens). The settings are self explanatory. Choose a source year and plot year. Choose a multiplier if you'd like (it simply multiplies the plot year P&L by that number; ie: 1 means the same as it was, 0.5 means half of what is was, 2 means 2x the source P&L) The resolution is max default 50 line segments but you can simplify if you'd like. I've released the code open-source so you can see what it is doing. Please update it with all the enhancements you can think of. Please let me know if you do this as I will be very interested!

RSI Cloud Zones (by AButterfly)RSI instruction: Uptrend market only. LONG only. Should use only when SPY and QQQ are above 50 SMA and 200 SMA, and the 50sma is above 200sma, and RSI(14) is above 50 ............... BUY only in the GREEN area. Do NOT buy above GREEN green area. That would be chase (after a train, a ship that left). Take profit in the RED area, preferably on a green candle. This does not encourage SHORT-ing. LONG only. Disclaimer: This is an entertainment. If you lose money, don't blame this indicator or the creator. You have to pay attention to whether the market is on uptrend.

Consolidation Box1. Overview & Purpose The "Faithful Box" is a powerful TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify and visualize high-quality price consolidation zones, often known as 'trading ranges' or 'boxes'. This tool is a direct Pine Script translation of a specific, robust Python-based analysis strategy. Its primary goal is not just to find any sideways movement, but to qualify it based on a strict set of rules, ensuring that only meaningful and tradable consolidation patterns are highlighted on the chart. 2. Core Logic: How It Works The indicator's intelligence is based on several key rules translated from the original Python script: Box Definition (Based on Closing Prices): The most crucial rule is how the box is defined. Unlike many tools that use candle wicks (highs and lows), this indicator establishes the Ceiling (Resistance) and the Floor (Support) of the box using the highest Close price and the lowest Close price over the specified analysis period. This provides a more stable and representative view of the true consolidation zone, ignoring outlier price spikes. Quality Filters: A consolidation is only considered valid and drawn on the chart if it meets two strict criteria: Minimum Touches: The price must "test" the ceiling and floor a minimum number of times. A "touch" is counted with a tolerance — the High of a candle only needs to get close to the ceiling, and the Low close to the floor. This simulates how price interacts with support and resistance zones in the real world. Maximum Height: The consolidation range cannot be excessively wide or volatile. The box will only be drawn if its total height, as a percentage of its price, is below a user-defined limit. 3. Visual Features on the Chart When a valid consolidation pattern is detected, the indicator draws a semi-transparent box over the analysis period. The most powerful visual feature is its dynamic coloring, which functions as a built-in alert system: 🟥 Red Box: The box turns red when the price enters the upper "Action Zone" (e.g., the top 30% of the range). This visually signals that the price is near a key resistance level, alerting the trader to a potential reversal or breakout opportunity. 🟩 Green Box: The box turns green when the price enters the lower "Action Zone" (e.g., the bottom 30% of the range). This highlights that the price is testing a key support level. ⬜ Gray Box: The box remains a neutral gray when the price is trading in the middle of the range, which can often be considered a "no-trade" or "wait-and-see" zone. 4. Configuration (Indicator Inputs) You have full control over the indicator's sensitivity through its inputs: Analysis Period (days): Defines the lookback window (in trading days) to search for a consolidation pattern. Common values are 42 (approx. 2 months) or 63 (approx. 3 months). Maximum Box Height (%): Filters out consolidations that are too volatile or wide. A lower percentage will find tighter, more compressed consolidations. Minimum Ceiling/Floor Touches: Defines the "strength" of the support and resistance levels. Requiring more touches will result in fewer detected patterns, but likely of higher quality. Touch Tolerance (%): Defines how close the High/Low needs to get to the edge of the box to be counted as a touch. A value of 2% means a touch is registered if the price comes within 2% of the box's total height from the edge. Action Zone (%): Customizes the size of the red (resistance) and green (support) zones. A value of 30% means the top 30% of the box will be the red zone, and the bottom 30% will be the green zone.

Taiyoz Gaps1. Purpose Tyoz Gaps highlights “gaps” between yesterday’s close and today’s open directly on your chart. A gap occurs when the opening price is significantly above or below the prior bar’s close. By drawing persistent boxes around each gap, you can instantly see where price left a void and monitor when (or if) that void gets completely filled. 2. Gap Detection Logic Threshold: A gap is only detected if the open-to-previous-close difference exceeds a user-defined “Minimal Deviation” (percentage of the 14-bar average high-low range). Direction: Gap Up: today’s open > yesterday’s close Gap Down: today’s open < yesterday’s close 3. Box Drawing For each detected gap, the script draws a rectangular box spanning from yesterday’s close level to today’s open level. Border & Fill Colors are configurable separately for up-gaps and down-gaps. Boxes extend to the right as new bars form. 4. Display & Filtering Options Show Gap Up / Show Gap Down toggles let you hide bullish or bearish gaps independently. Max Number of Gaps: Limits how many boxes remain on-screen; oldest boxes are removed when the limit is exceeded. Limit Max Gap Trail Length: Optionally force-close any gap box after a given number of bars, even if unfilled. 5. Closing Logic Full-Fill Only: A gap box stays visible until price fully “fills” it—i.e., for an up-gap, price must exceed the top edge (yesterday’s close); for a down-gap, price must cross below the bottom edge. Once filled, the box is removed and a “Gap Closed” alert flag is set. 6. Labels & Alerts Each active gap can optionally show a label at the gap’s lower edge containing: Absolute size (in price points) and percentage of the gap Bar count since the gap formed Label Text Color and Label Text Size are both user-configurable. Two built-in alertcondition()s fire when a new gap appears or when a gap closes.

Efficient Candle Range (ECR)Efficient Candle Range (ECR) A custom-built concept designed to detect zones of efficient price movement, often signaling the start, pause, or end of an implied move. What is the Efficient Candle Range? The Efficient Candle Range (ECR) is a unique tool that identifies price zones based on efficient candles—candles with relatively small bodies and balanced wicks. These candles reflect balanced or orderly price action, and when grouped into a range, they can reveal areas of temporary equilibrium in the market. Rather than focusing on single candles, ECR builds a range that dynamically adjusts as new efficient candles form. This gives traders an objective way to track potential areas of absorption, distribution, or transition. Why use ECR? Efficient candles often occur: At the beginning of a new move, after a liquidity sweep or shift in sentiment At the end of a strong move, as momentum fades Within consolidation zones, where price trades in a balanced, indecisive state While ECRs can appear in any market condition, their interpretation depends on context: In a range, an ECR might just reflect sideways balance. But after a sweep or breakout, it could signal a potential shift in direction or continuation. A close outside the ECR often marks the end of that balance and the start of a new impulse. How it works The script detects efficient candles based on body-to-range ratio and wick symmetry. Consecutive ECs are grouped into a live ECR box. The box dynamically extends as long as price stays inside the high-low range. Once a candle closes outside, the ECR is considered invalid (fades visually, but remains visible for reference). Each active range is labeled "ECR" within the box for easy tracking. Customizable in settings Max body percentage of range Max wick imbalance Box and label color/transparency Suggested usage Let the ECR define your observation zone. Instead of reacting immediately to an efficient candle, wait for a confirmed breakout from the ECR to validate the next move. Whether you trade breakouts, reversals, or continuation setups, ECR provides an objective way to visualize price balance and understand when the market is likely to expand. Designed for individual traders looking to build structure around efficient price movement — no specific methodology required.
