Comet C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) Ephemeris☄️ Ephemeris How-To: Plot JPL Horizons Data on TradingView (Educational)
Overview
This open-source Pine Script™ v6 indicator demonstrates how to bring external astronomical ephemeris into TradingView and plot it on a daily chart. Using Comet C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) as an example dataset, it shows the mechanics of structuring arrays, indexing by date, and drawing past and forward ( future projections ) values—strictly as an educational visualization of celestial motion.
Why This Approach
Data is generated from NASA JPL Horizons, a mission-grade, publicly available ephemeris service ( (ssd.jpl.nasa.gov)). On the daily timeframe, Horizons provides high-precision positions you can regenerate whenever solutions update—useful for educational accuracy in exploring orbital data.
What’s Plotted
- Geocentric ecliptic longitude (Earth-view)
- Heliocentric ecliptic longitude (Sun-centered)
- Declination (deg from celestial equator)
Features
- Simple arrays + date indexing (no per-row timestamps)
- Circles for historical/current bars; polylines to connect forward points, emphasizing future projections
- Toggle any series on/off via inputs
- Daily timeframe enforced (runtime error if not 1D)
- Optional table with zodiac conversion (AstroLib by BarefootJoey)
Data & Updates
The example arrays span 2025-07-01 (discovery date) → 2026-01-01. You can refresh them anytime from JPL Horizons (Observer: Geocentric; daily step; include ecliptic lon/lat and declination) and paste the new values into the script.
How we pulled the ephemeris from JPL Horizons (quick guide):
0) Open ssd.jpl.nasa.gov System
1. Ephemeris Type: Observer Table
2. Target Body: C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) (or any object you want)
3. Observer Location: Geocentric
4. Time Specification: set Start, Stop, Step = 1 day
5. Table Settings → Quantities:
* Astrometric RA & Dec
* Heliocentric ecliptic longitude & latitude
* Observer (geocentric) ecliptic longitude & latitude
6. Additional Table Settings:
* Calendar format: Gregorian
* Date/Time: calendar (UTC), Hours & Minutes (HH:MM)
* Angle format: Decimal degrees
* Refraction model: No refraction / airless
* Range units: Astronomical units (au)
7. Generate → Download results (CSV or text).
8. Use AI or a small script to parse columns (e.g., Obs ecliptic lon, Helio ecliptic lon, Declination) into arrays, then paste them into your Pine script.
Educational Note
This indicator’s goal is to show how to prepare and plot ephemeris—so you can adapt the method for other comets or celestial bodies, or swap in data from existing astro libraries, for learning about astronomical projections using JPL daily data.

Rolling Correlation BTC vs Hedge AssetsRolling Correlation BTC vs Hedge Assets
Overview
This indicator calculates and plots the rolling correlation between Bitcoin (BTC) returns and several key hedge assets:
• XAUUSD (Gold)
• EURUSD (proxy for DXY, U.S. Dollar Index)
• VIX (Volatility Index)
• TLT (20y U.S. Treasury Bonds ETF)
By monitoring these dynamic correlations, traders can identify whether BTC is moving in sync with risk assets or decoupling as a hedge, and adjust their trading strategy accordingly.
How it works
1. Computes returns for BTC and each asset using percentage change.
2. Uses the rolling correlation function (ta.correlation) over a configurable window length (default = 12 bars).
3. Plots each correlation as a separate colored line (Gold = Yellow, EURUSD = Blue, VIX = Red, TLT = Green).
4. Adds threshold levels at +0.3 and -0.3 to help classify correlation regimes.
How to use it
• High positive correlation (> +0.3): BTC is moving together with the asset (risk-on behavior).
• Near zero (-0.3 to +0.3): BTC is showing little to no correlation — neutral/independent moves.
• Negative correlation (< -0.3): BTC is moving in the opposite direction — potential hedge opportunity.
Practical strategies:
• Watch BTC vs VIX: a spike in volatility (VIX ↑) usually coincides with BTC selling pressure.
• Track BTC vs EURUSD: stronger USD often puts downside pressure on BTC.
• Observe BTC vs Gold: during “flight to safety” events, gold rises while BTC weakens.
• Monitor BTC vs TLT: rising yields (falling TLT) often align with BTC weakness.
Inputs
• Window Length (bars): Number of bars used to calculate rolling correlations (default = 12).
• Comparison Timeframe: Default = 5m. Can be changed to align with your intraday or swing trading style.
Notes
• Works best on intraday charts (1m, 5m, 15m) for scalping and short-term setups.
• Use correlations as context, not standalone signals — combine with volume, VWAP, and price action.
• Correlations are dynamic; they can switch regimes quickly during macro events (CPI, NFP, FOMC).
This tool is designed for traders who want to manage risk exposure by monitoring whether BTC is behaving as a risk-on asset or hedge, and to exploit opportunities during decoupling phases.

Guitar Hero [theUltimator5]The Guitar Hero indicator transforms traditional oscillator signals into a visually engaging, game-like display reminiscent of the popular Guitar Hero video game. Instead of standard line plots, this indicator presents oscillator values as colored segments or blocks, making it easier to quickly identify market conditions at a glance.
Choose from 8 different technical oscillators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Stochastic %K
Stochastic %D
Williams %R
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
MFI (Money Flow Index)
TSI (True Strength Index)
Ultimate Oscillator
Visual Display Modes
1) Boxes Mode : Creates distinct rectangular boxes for each bar, providing a clean, segmented appearance. (default)
This visual display is limited by the amount of box plots that TradingView allows on each indictor, so it will only plot a limited history. If you want to view a similar visual display that has minor breaks between boxes, then use the fill mode.
2) Fill Mode : Uses filled areas between plot boundaries.
Use this mode when you want to view the plots further back in history without the strict drawing limitations.
Five-Level Color-Coded System
The indicator normalizes all oscillator values to a 0-100 scale and categorizes them into five distinct levels:
Level 1 (Red): Very Oversold (0-19)
Level 2 (Orange): Oversold (20-29)
Level 3 (Yellow): Neutral (30-70)
Level 4 (Aqua): Overbought (71-80)
Level 5 (Lime): Very Overbought (81-100)
Customization Options

Williams %R: Converts from -100/0 range to 0-100
CCI: Maps typical -300/+300 range to 0-100
TSI: Transforms -100/+100 range to 0-100
Other oscillators: Already use 0-100 scale (RSI, Stochastic, MFI, Ultimate Oscillator)
This was designed as an educational tool
The gamified approach makes learning about oscillators more engaging for new traders.
Scalping Line Strategy📌 Scalping Line Strategy – A Precision Crossover System
🔎 Overview
The Scalping Line Strategy is a short-term trading system built around the concept of momentum-driven crossovers between a smoothed moving average filter and a fast signal line. It is designed for scalpers and intraday traders who seek clear entry signals, minimal lag, and adaptive filtering to fit volatile market conditions.
At its core, the strategy uses a custom signal line ("Scalping Line"), which is derived from the difference between a double-smoothed moving average and a shorter-period signal line. Trade entries are triggered when this Scalping Line crosses above or below zero, providing a clean and rules-based framework for both long and short setups.
⚙️ Core Logic
Main Trend Filter – A double-smoothed moving average is calculated over a configurable period (default 100). This reduces noise and provides a more robust backbone for scalping signals.
Percent-Based Filter – To avoid false signals, a customizable percentage filter adjusts how closely the system “respects” price deviations from the moving average. This helps filter out insignificant fluctuations.
Signal Line – A shorter-period simple moving average (default 7) provides faster responsiveness to recent price action.
Scalping Line (SLI) – Calculated as the difference between the fast signal line and the smoothed moving average. When the SLI crosses zero, it signals a potential momentum shift.
SLI > 0 → Momentum bias is bullish.
SLI < 0 → Momentum bias is bearish.
🎯 Trade Direction & Flexibility
Trade Direction Control:
Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Both to tailor the system to your trading style.
Signal Flip Option:
By default, long entries occur when the SLI crosses below zero, and shorts when it crosses above zero. This orientation can be flipped, allowing for alternative interpretations of the signals depending on how you want to capture momentum in your market.
🕒 Time Window Filtering
For intraday traders, a time filter can be enabled to restrict signals to specific trading sessions (e.g., 9 AM – 4 PM EST). This is particularly useful when trading assets such as equities or futures that have strong intraday volatility windows.
📈 Visuals & Clarity
Scalping Line Plot: Displayed as a dynamic oscillator around a zero baseline.
Histogram Fill: Green when above zero (bullish bias), red when below zero (bearish bias).
Signal Markers: Clear arrows mark long and short entries at crossover points.
Zero Line Reference: A flat gray line at zero assists in visually gauging momentum shifts.
🚀 Strategy Execution
Long Entry: Triggered when SLI crosses below zero (or above zero if flip is enabled) within allowed session hours.
Short Entry: Triggered when SLI crosses above zero (or below zero if flip is enabled) within allowed session hours.
Built-in Signal Cancels: Pending entries are canceled if conditions are no longer valid, ensuring no stale trades remain active.
✅ Best Use Cases
Markets: Works across equities, forex, crypto, and futures with sufficient intraday volatility.
Timeframes: Most effective on 1m to 15m charts for scalping setups, but adaptable to higher frames for swing trading.
Style: Traders who appreciate simple, rules-based momentum crossovers will find this system easy to follow and highly adaptable.
⚠️ Risk Management Note
This strategy is strictly an entry signal framework. Position sizing, stop-loss, and take-profit rules must be overlaid based on your risk management style. Always validate results with backtesting and forward testing before applying to live trading accounts.
📜 Final Thoughts
The Scalping Line Strategy offers a refined, easy-to-interpret approach to intraday trading. By combining smoothed moving averages, adaptive filtering, and flexible signal options, it helps traders identify short-term momentum shifts with clarity and confidence, making it a highly configurable tool for scalping-focused strategies.
Opening Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB) – Trading Strategy Documentation
Definition:
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a short-term trading strategy that identifies the price range established during the initial period of market opening (typically the first 15 to 60 minutes) and uses the high and low of that range as key reference levels for potential breakout entries.
Components:
Open Range High: The highest price traded during the defined opening period.
Open Range Low: The lowest price traded during the same period.
Breakout Trigger: A price move above the Open Range High or below the Open Range Low, signaling potential continuation momentum.
How It Works:
Define the Opening Period: Select a time window (e.g., 30 minutes) at market open to establish the initial range.
Identify Range Boundaries: Record the high and low prices during this period.
Monitor for Breakout: Watch for price to break and close above the Open Range High (bullish breakout) or below the Open Range Low (bearish breakout).
Enter Trade: Enter long on a confirmed break above the Open Range High, or short on a break below the Open Range Low. Entry may be triggered on a retest of the broken level or with volume confirmation.
Set Stop-Loss and Target:
Stop-loss: Placed just inside the open range (e.g., below the high for long, above the low for short).
Profit target: Based on volatility (e.g., ATR multiple) or support/resistance levels.
Key Assumptions:
Early price action reflects initial market sentiment.
A breakout from this range indicates strong directional momentum likely to continue.
Best Conditions:
High liquidity markets (e.g., major indices, large-cap stocks).
Volatile or news-driven trading sessions.
Used primarily in intraday trading.
Limitations:
Prone to false breakouts during low-volume or choppy markets.
Requires strict risk management due to reliance on timing and confirmation.
Conclusion:
The ORB strategy capitalizes on early market momentum by trading breakouts from the initial price range. Its effectiveness depends on precise range definition, timely execution, and disciplined risk control.
RTH Levels: VWAP + PDH/PDL + ONH/ONL + IBAlgo Index — Levels Pro (ONH/ONL • PDH/PDL • VWAP±Bands • IB • Gaps)
Purpose. A session-aware, non-repainting levels tool for intraday decision-making. Designed for futures and indices, with clean visuals, alerts, and a one-click Minimal Mode for screenshot-ready charts.
What it plots
• PDH/PDL (RTH-only) – Prior Regular Trading Hours high/low, computed intraday and frozen at the RTH close (no 24h mix-ups, no repainting).
• ONH/ONL – Prior Overnight high/low, held throughout RTH.
• RTH VWAP with ±σ bands – Volume-weighted variance, reset each RTH.
• Initial Balance (IB) – First N minutes of RTH, plus 1.5× / 2.0× extensions after IB completes.
• Today’s RTH Open & Prior RTH Close – With gap detection and “gap filled” alert.
• Killzone shading – NY Open (09:30–10:30 ET) and Lunch (11:15–13:30 ET).
• Values panel (top-right) – Each level with live distance in points & ticks.
• Right-edge level tags – With anti-overlap (stagger + vertical jitter).
• Price-scale tags – Native trackprice markers that always “stick” to the axis.
⸻
New in v6.4
• Minimal Mode: one click for a clean look (thinner lines, VWAP bands/IB extensions hidden, on-chart right-edge labels off; price-scale tags remain).
• Theme presets: Dark Hi-Contrast / Light Minimal / Futures Classic / Muted Dark.
• Anti-overlap controls: horizontal staggering, vertical jitter, and baseline offset to keep tags readable even when levels cluster.
⸻
Quick start (2 minutes)
1. Add to chart → keep defaults.
2. Sessions (ET):
• RTH Session default: 09:30–16:00 (US equities cash hours).
• Overnight Session default: 18:00–09:29.
Adjust for your market if you use different “day” hours (e.g., many use 08:20–13:30 ET for COMEX Gold).
3. Theme & Minimal Mode: pick a Theme Preset; enable Minimal Mode for screenshots.
4. Visibility: toggle PD/ON/VWAP/IB/References/Panel to taste.
5. Right-edge labels: turn Show Right-Edge Labels on. If they crowd, tune:
• Anti-overlap: min separation (ticks)
• Horizontal offset per tag (bars)
• Vertical jitter per step (ticks)
• Right-edge baseline offset (bars)
6. Alerts: open Add alert → Condition: and pick the events you want.
⸻
How levels are computed (no repainting)
• PDH/PDL: Intraday H/L are accumulated only while in RTH and saved at RTH close for “yesterday’s” values.
• ONH/ONL: Accumulated across the defined Overnight window and then held during RTH.
• RTH VWAP & ±σ: Volume-weighted mean and standard deviation, reset at the RTH open.
• IB: First N minutes of RTH (default 60). Extensions (1.5×/2.0×) appear after IB completes.
• Gaps: Today’s RTH open vs prior RTH close; “Gap Filled” triggers when price trades back to prior close.
⸻
Practical playbooks (how to trade around the levels)
1) PDH/PDL interactions
• Rejection: Price taps PDH/PDL then closes back inside → mean-reversion toward VWAP/IB.
• Acceptance: Close/hold beyond PDH/PDL with momentum → continuation to next HTF/IB target.
• Alert: PD Touch/Break.
2) ONH/ONL “taken”
• Often one ON extreme is taken during RTH. ONH Taken / ONL Taken → check if it’s a clean break or sweep & reclaim.
• Sweep + reclaim near VWAP can fuel rotations through the ON range.
3) VWAP ±σ framework
• Balanced: First tag of ±1σ often reverts toward VWAP.
• Trend: Persistent trade beyond ±1σ + IB break → target ±2σ/±3σ.
• Alerts: VWAP Cross and VWAP Reject (cross then immediate fail back).
4) IB breaks
• After IB completes, a clean IB break commonly targets 1.5× and sometimes 2.0×.
• Quick return inside IB = possible fade back to the opposite IB edge/VWAP.
• Alerts: IB Break Up / Down.
5) Gaps
• Gap-and-go: Opening drive away from prior close + VWAP support → trend until IB completion.
• Gap-fill: Weak open and VWAP overhead/underfoot → trade toward prior close; manage on Gap Filled alert.
Pro tip: Stack confluences (e.g., ONL sweep + VWAP reclaim + IB hold) and respect your execution rules (e.g., require a 5-minute close in direction, or your order-flow confirmation).
⸻

Styling & screenshot tips
• Use Theme Preset that matches your chart.
• For dark charts, “Dark Hi-Contrast” with Main Line Width = 3 works well.
• Enable Trackprice for crisp axis tags that always stick to the right edge.
• Turn on Minimal Mode for cleaner screenshots (no VWAP bands or IB extensions, on-chart tags off; price-scale tags remain).
• If tags crowd, increase min separation (ticks) to 30–60 and horizontal offset to 3–5; add vertical jitter (4–12 ticks) and/or push tags farther right with baseline offset (bars).
⸻
Behavior & limitations
• Levels are computed incrementally; tables refresh on the last bar for efficiency.
• Right-edge labels are placed at bar_index + offset and do not track extra right-margin scrolling (TradingView limitation). The price-scale tags (from trackprice) do track the axis.
• “RTH” is what you define in inputs. If your market uses different day hours, change the session strings so PDH/PDL reflect your definition of “yesterday’s session.”

FAQ
Q: My PDH/PDL don’t match the daily chart.
A: By design this uses RTH-only highs/lows, not 24h daily bars. Adjust sessions if you want a different definition.
Q: Right-edge tags overlap or don’t sit at the far right.
A: Increase min separation / horizontal offset / vertical jitter and/or push tags farther with baseline offset. If you want markers that always hug the axis, rely on Trackprice.
Q: Can I change killzones?
A: Yes—edit the session strings in settings or request a version with user inputs for custom windows.

Daily Distribution Range - Amplitude Probability DashboardSummary
This indicator provides a powerful statistical deep-dive into an asset's daily distribution range, amplitude and volatility. It moves beyond simple range indicators by calculating the historical probability of a trading day reaching certain amplitude levels.
The results are presented in a clean, interactive dashboard that highlights the current day's performance in real-time, allowing traders to instantly gauge if the current volatility is normal, unusually high, or unusually low compared to history.
This tool is designed to help traders answer a critical question: "Based on past behavior, what is the likelihood that today's range will be at least X%?"
Key Concepts Explained
1. Daily Amplitude (%)
The indicator first calculates the amplitude (or range) of every historical daily candle and expresses it as a percentage of that day's opening price.
Formula: (Daily High - Daily Low) / Daily Open * 100
This normalization allows for a consistent volatility comparison across different price levels and time periods.
2. Cumulative Probability Distribution
Instead of showing the probability of a day's final range falling into a small, exclusive bin (e.g., "exactly between 1.0% and 1.5%"), this indicator uses a cumulative model. It answers the question, "What is the probability that the daily range will be at least a certain value?"
For example, if the row for "≥ 2%" shows a probability of 12.22%, it means that historically, 12.22% of all trading days have had a total range of 2% or more. This is incredibly useful for risk management and setting realistic expectations.
Core Features
Statistical Dashboard: Presents all data in a clear, easy-to-read table on your chart.
Cumulative Probability Model: Instantly see the historical probability of the daily range reaching or exceeding key percentage levels.
Real-Time Highlight & Arrow (→): The dashboard isn't just historical. It actively tracks the current, unfinished day's amplitude and highlights the corresponding row with a color and an arrow (→). This provides immediate context for the current session's price action.
Timeframe Independent: You can use this indicator on any chart timeframe (e.g., 5-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour), and it will always fetch and calculate using the correct daily data.
Clean & Professional UI: Features a monospace font for perfect alignment and a simple, readable design.
Fully Customizable: Easily adjust the dashboard's position, text size, and the amount of historical data used for the analysis.
How to Use & Interpret the Data
This indicator is not a trading signal but a powerful tool for statistical context and decision-making.
Risk Management: If you see that an asset has only a 5% historical probability of moving more than 3% in a day, you can set stop-losses more intelligently and avoid being overly aggressive with your targets on a typical day.
Setting Profit Targets: Gauge realistic intra-day profit targets. If a stock is already up 2.5% and has historically only moved more than 3% on rare occasions, you might consider taking profits.
Options Trading: Volatility is paramount for options. This tool helps you visualize the expected range of movement, which can inform decisions on strike selection for strategies like iron condors or straddles.
Identifying Volatility Regimes: Quickly see if the current day is a "normal" low-volatility day or an "abnormal" high-volatility day that could signal a major market event or trend initiation.
Dashboard Breakdown
→ (Arrow): Points to the bin corresponding to the current, live day's amplitude.
Amplitude Level: The minimum amplitude threshold. The format "≥ 1.5%" means "greater than or equal to 1.5%".
Days Reaching Level: The raw number of historical days that had an amplitude equal to or greater than the level in the first column.
Prob. of Reaching Level (%): The percentage of total days that reached that amplitude level (Days Reaching Level / Total Days Analyzed).
Settings
Position: Choose where the dashboard appears on your chart.
Text Size: Adjust the font size for better readability on your screen resolution.
Max Historical Days to Analyze: Set the lookback period for the statistical analysis. A larger number provides a more robust statistical sample but may take slightly longer to load initially.

Trading Macro Windows by BW v2
Trading Macros by BW: Integrating ICT Concepts for Session Analysis
This indicator combines two key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts—Change in State of Delivery (CISD) or Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) signals with Macro Time Windows—to provide a unified tool for analyzing intraday price action, particularly during Pacific Time (PT) sessions. Rather than simply merging existing scripts, this integration creates a cohesive visual framework that highlights how macro consolidation periods interact with potential reversal or continuation signals like CISD or IFVG. By overlaying macro candle styling and borders on the chart alongside selectable signal lines, traders can better contextualize setups within ICT's macro narrative, where price often manipulates liquidity during these windows before displacing toward higher-timeframe objectives.
Core Components and How They Work Together:
Macro Time Windows (Inspired by ICT's Macro Periods):
ICT emphasizes "macro" as 30-minute windows (e.g., 06:45–07:15 PT, 07:45–08:15 PT, up to 11:45–12:15 PT) where price tends to consolidate, sweep liquidity, or form key structures like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These periods set the stage for the session's directional bias.
The indicator styles candles within these windows using a user-defined color for wicks, borders, and bodies (translucent for visibility). This visual emphasis helps traders focus on activity inside macros, where reversals or continuations often originate.
Borders are drawn as vertical lines at the start and end of each window (with a +5 minute buffer to capture related activity), using a dotted style by default. This creates a "study zone" that encapsulates macro events, allowing traders to assess if price is respecting or violating these zones in alignment with broader ICT models like the Power of 3 (AMD cycle).
Toggle: "Macro Candles Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to disable styling and borders if focusing solely on signals.
CISD or IFVG Signals (Selectable Mode):
Mode Selection: Choose between "Change in the State of Delivery" (CISD) or "IFVG" (default: IFVG). Both detect shifts in market delivery during specific 30-minute slices (15–45 or 17–45 minutes past the hour in PT sessions).
CISD Mode: Based on ICT's definition of a sudden directional shift, this identifies aggressive displacements after sweeping recent highs/lows. It uses a rolling reference high/low over 6 bars, checks for sweeps (penetrating by at least 2 ticks in the last 2-3 bars), reclamation (closing beyond the reference with at least 50% body), and displacement (50% of prior range or an immediate FVG of 6+ ticks). Signals plot a horizontal line from the close, extending 24 bars right, labeled "CISD."
IFVG Mode: Focuses on Inverted Fair Value Gaps, where a bullish FVG (low > high by 13+ ticks) forms but is inverted (closed below) in the same slice, signaling bearish intent (or vice versa). This targets violations against opposing liquidity, often leading to raids on external ranges. Signals plot similarly, labeled "IFVG."
Shared Logic: Both modes enforce a 55-bar cooldown to prevent clustering, operate only during PT sessions (06:30–13:00), and use tick-based thresholds for precision across instruments. The integration with macros allows traders to see if signals occur within or at the edges of macro windows, enhancing confirmation—for example, a CISD inside a macro might indicate a manipulated reversal toward the session's true objective.
Toggle: "Signals Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to hide all signal lines and labels, isolating the macro visualization.
How Components Interact:
Macro windows provide the "narrative context" (consolidation/manipulation), while CISD/IFVG signals detect the "delivery shift" (displacement). Together, they form a mashup that justifies publication: isolated signals can be noisy, but when filtered by macro periods, they align with ICT's session model. For instance, an IFVG inversion during a macro might confirm a liquidity sweep before targeting PD arrays or order blocks.
No external dependencies; all calculations are self-contained using Pine's built-in functions like ta.highest/lowest for references and time-based sessions for windows.
Usage Guidelines:
Apply to intraday charts (e.g., 1-5 min) or stocks during PT hours.
Look for confluence: A bull IFVG signal post-macro low sweep might target the next macro high or daily bias.
Customize colors/styles for signals (solid/dashed/dotted lines) and macros to suit your chart.
Backtest in replay mode to observe how macros frame signals—e.g., price often respects macro borders as S/R.
Limitations: Timezone-fixed to PT (America/Los_Angeles); signals are directional hints, not trade entries. Combine with ICT tools like order blocks or liquidity pools for full setups.
This script draws from community ICT implementations but refines them into a single, purpose-built tool for macro-driven trading, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing interconnected concepts. Feedback welcome!
