VX-Time Quadrant Overlay (Quarterly Cycles) by Ikaru-s-The Time Quadrant Overlay is a purely time-based visualization tool designed to structure market time into repeating quarterly cycles across multiple timeframes. It does not generate trade signals, entries, or bias. Its sole purpose is to provide time context, so price action can be interpreted within a clear cyclical framework. What this indicator does The indicator divides time into four repeating quarters (Q1–Q4) and displays them simultaneously across different time horizons, such as: Weekly Daily (6-hour quarters) 90-minute cycles Micro cycles (within 90-minute structure) Each row represents a different time cycle, allowing traders to see time alignment, transitions, and overlaps at a glance. Quarter Structure Each cycle follows the same repeating sequence: Q1 – Early phase Q2 – Expansion / “True Open” phase Q3 – Continuation Q4 – Late phase / Transition The quarters are visualized using color-coded boxes, making it easy to see: where the market currently is in time when a new quarter begins when multiple cycles align or diverge Quarter Start Marker An optional Quarter Start Marker (vertical dashed line) can be enabled to highlight the start of a selected quarter (default: Q2). This is intended as a time reference, not a signal: useful for planning useful for contextualizing reactions to levels useful for session and cycle awareness How to use it (practical) This tool is best used to: provide time structure to existing analysis plan around upcoming time transitions contextualize reactions to levels or areas understand where price is acting within a cycle It works well alongside: discretionary price action session-based trading futures and index markets any methodology that respects time as a variable Customization The indicator is fully customizable: Enable / disable individual cycles Adjust box transparency and history depth Toggle labels and pane labels Enable / disable quarter start markers Select which quarter to highlight This allows the tool to remain clean on higher timeframes and detailed on lower ones. Important Notes This is a visual framework, not a strategy. No claims of predictive power are made. Time structure does not replace risk management or execution logic. The indicator is designed to adapt across markets, but interpretation remains discretionary. Final Thoughts Time is often treated as secondary to price. This tool exists to make time visible, structured, and easy to work with — nothing more, nothing less.

TRV & nTRV - Trimmed Range VolatilityGrid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup.Grid bots require stable volatility measurement - ATR becomes misleading when gaps and sudden spikes distort the average. TRV (Trimmed Range Volatility) is an advanced version of ATR: it filters outliers at the extremes (highest and lowest ranges) and remains unaffected by gaps. This provides real-time, accurate volatility measurement for grid bot setup. Why We Developed TRV? When a gap or sudden spike occurs in the morning, this extreme movement affects standard ATR calculations for an extended period. Even if the price moves sideways for the rest of the day, ATR remains elevated. This causes grid bots to operate with unnecessarily wide spacing and execute fewer trades. TRV Advantages: ✅ Unaffected by Gaps: Opening gaps don't distort the calculation ✅ Extreme Point Elimination: Filters the largest and smallest outlier candles ✅ Real-Time Accuracy: Shows current market volatility ✅ Grid Bot Optimization: Enables tighter and more efficient grid spacing ✅ Comparison Capability: Compare different stocks and timeframes with nTRV Grid Bot Usage: The TRV value is used directly to calculate the number of grid lines: (Resistance - Support) / TRV = Number of Grid Lines Example: Resistance: $110 Support: $90 TRV: $2 Grid Count: (110-90)/2 = 10 grid lines Features: Two Filtering Modes: Manual (enter number) or Percentage-Based (automatic ratio) Four Indicators in One: nTRV, TRV, ATR, and nATR all displayed on the same panel nTRV: Normalized value (percentage-based, for stock comparison) TRV: Absolute value (currency-based, for grid calculation) ATR & nATR Included: Standard ATR and nATR for direct comparison with TRV Comprehensive Analysis: Compare filtered (TRV) vs unfiltered (ATR) volatility side-by-side Default: 10% top, 10% bottom outlier elimination Conclusion: TRV is an advanced version of ATR specifically designed for grid bot traders. By filtering outlier movements, it provides more stable and reliable volatility measurement. The indicator includes both TRV (filtered) and ATR (unfiltered) on the same chart, giving traders a comprehensive view to make informed decisions. This dual-display approach enables more efficient grid strategies and increased trading frequency.

GARCH Volume Volatility [MarkitTick]Title: GARCH Volume Volatility Description Overview The GARCH Volume Volatility (GV) indicator is a sophisticated quantitative tool designed to analyze the rate of change in market participation. While the vast majority of technical indicators focus on Price Volatility (how much price moves), this script focuses on Volume Volatility (how unstable the participation is). Market volume is rarely distributed evenly; it tends to cluster. Periods of high activity are often followed by more high activity, and periods of calm tend to persist. This behavior is known as "heteroskedasticity." This script utilizes an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) model—a core component of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) frameworks—to model these changing variance regimes. By isolating volume volatility from raw volume data, this tool helps traders distinguish between sustainable liquidity flows and erratic, unsustainable volume shocks that often precede market reversals or breakouts. Methodology and Calculations 1. Logarithmic vs. Percentage Returns The foundation of this indicator is the calculation of "Volume Returns"—the period-over-period change in volume. - The script defaults to Logarithmic Returns. In financial statistics, log returns are preferred because they normalize data that can vary wildly in magnitude (such as cryptocurrency volume spikes), providing a more symmetric view of changes. - Users can opt for standard percentage changes if they prefer a linear approach. 2. Variance Proxy (Squared Returns) To measure volatility, the direction of the volume change (up or down) matters less than the magnitude. The script squares the returns to create a "Variance Proxy." This ensures that a massive drop in volume is treated with the same statistical weight as a massive spike in volume—both represent a significant change in the volatility of participation. 3. GARCH-Style Smoothing (EWMA) Standard Moving Averages (SMA) treat all data points in the lookback period equally. However, volatility is dynamic. This script uses an EWMA model with a tunable "Lambda" (Decay Factor). - The Recursive Formula: The current calculation relies on a weighted average of the current variance and the previous period's smoothed variance. - Memory Effect: This allows the indicator to "remember" recent volatility shocks while gradually letting their influence fade. This mimics the GARCH process of conditional variance. 4. Dynamic Statistical Thresholds The final output is the Volatility (square root of variance). To make this data actionable, the script calculates a dynamic upper and lower limit based on the standard deviation (Z-Score) of the volatility itself over a user-defined lookback period. How to Use The indicator plots a histogram that categorizes the market into four distinct volatility regimes: 1. High Volatility (Red Histogram) Trigger: Volatility > High Band (Upper Standard Deviation). Interpretation: This signals an extreme anomaly in volume stability. This is not just "high volume," but "erratic volume behavior." This often occurs at: - Capitulation bottoms (panic selling). - Euphoric tops (blow-off tops). - Major news events or earnings releases. 2. Elevated Volatility (Maroon Histogram) Trigger: Volatility > Mean Average. Interpretation: The market is in an active state. Participation is changing rapidly, but within statistically normal bounds. This is common during healthy, trending moves where new participants are entering the market steadily. 3. Normal/Low Volatility (Green Histogram) Trigger: Volatility is within the lower bands. Interpretation: The market volume is stable. There are no sudden shocks in participation. This is typical of consolidation phases or "creeping" trends where the price drifts without significant volume conviction. 4. Extremely Low Volatility (Bright Green/Transparent) Trigger: Volatility < Low Band. Interpretation: The "calm before the storm." When volume volatility collapses to near-zero, it implies that the market has reached a state of equilibrium or disinterest. Historically, volatility is cyclical; periods of extreme compression often lead to violent expansion. Settings and Configuration Core Settings - Use EWMA: When checked (Default), uses the recursive GARCH-style calculation. If unchecked, it reverts to a simple SMA of variance, which is less sensitive to recent shocks but more stable. - Log Returns: Uses natural log for calculations. Highly recommended for assets with exponential growth or large volume ranges. - Length: The baseline period for the calculation. - Threshold Lookback: The number of bars used to calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation bands. - EWMA Lambda: The decay factor (0.0 to 1.0). A value of 0.94 is standard for risk metrics. -- Higher Lambda (e.g., 0.98): The indicator reacts slower and is smoother (long memory). -- Lower Lambda (e.g., 0.80): The indicator reacts very fast to new data (short memory). Visuals - Show Thresholds: Toggles the visibility of the statistical bands on the chart. - High Band (StdDev): The multiplier for the upper warning zone. Default is 1.5 deviations. Increasing this to 2.0 or 3.0 will filter for only the most extreme events. Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

Selected Times V3-EnDoes the stock drop every Wednesday? Do March months always move similarly? Does the 1st week of the month behave differently? Do you ever say "it always makes this move in these months"? Don't you want to see more clearly whether it actually makes this move or not? Don't you want to see and test periodically repeating price patterns? 1. Problem Some stocks or crypto assets exhibit systematic behaviors on certain days, weeks, or months. But it's hard to see - everything is mixed together on the chart. This indicator isolates the days/weeks/months you want and shows only them. Hides everything else. 2. How It Works Three-layer filter: Day (Monday, Tuesday...), Week (1st, 2nd, 3rd week of the month), Month (January, February...). Select what you want, let the rest disappear. Example: Show only Thursdays of March-June-September. Or compare every 1st week of the month. View as candlestick, line, or column chart. 3. What's It Good For? Test "end-of-month effect". Find "day-of-the-week anomaly". Analyze crypto volatility by days. See seasonality in commodities. Discover patterns specific to your own strategy. Past data doesn't guarantee the future but provides statistical advantage.

MNQ Quant Oscillator Lab v2.1MNQ Quant Oscillator Lab v2.1 — Clean Namespaces Adaptive LinReg Oscillator + Auto Regime Switching + MTF Confirmation + MOEP Gate + Research Harness MNQ Quant Oscillator Lab is a research-grade oscillator framework designed for MNQ/NQ (and other liquid futures/indices) on 1-minute and intraday timeframes. It combines a linear-regression-based detrended oscillator with quant-style normalization, adaptive parameterization, regime switching, multi-timeframe confirmation, and an optional MOEP (Minimum Optimal Entry Point) gate. The goal is to provide a customizable signal laboratory that is stable in real time, non-repainting by default, and suitable for systematic experimentation. What this indicator does 1) Core oscillator (quant-normalized) The indicator computes a linear regression (LinReg) detrended signal and expresses it as a z-scored oscillator for portability across volatility regimes and assets. You can switch the oscillator “transform family” via Oscillator type: LinReg Residual / Residual Z: detrended residual (mean-reversion sensitive) LinReg Slope Z: regression slope (trend-derivative sensitive) LogReturn Z: log-return oscillator (momentum-style) VolNorm Return Z: volatility-normalized returns (risk-scaled) This yields a single oscillator that is comparable over time, not tied to raw point values. 2) Adaptive length (dynamic calibration) When enabled, the regression length is automatically adapted using a volatility-regime proxy (ATR% z-scored → logistic mapping). High volatility typically shortens the effective lookback; low volatility allows longer lookbacks. This helps the oscillator remain responsive during expansions while staying stable in compressions. Important: the adaptive logic is implemented with safe warmup behavior, so it will not throw NaN errors on early bars. 3) Adaptive thresholds (dynamic bands) Instead of static overbought/oversold levels, the indicator can compute dynamic upper/lower bands from the oscillator’s own distribution (rolling mean + sigma). This creates thresholds that adjust automatically to regime changes. 4) Auto regime switching (Trend vs Mean Reversion) With Auto regime switch enabled, the indicator selects whether to behave as a Trend system or a Mean Reversion system using an interpretable heuristic: Trend regime when EMA-spread is strong relative to ATR and ATR is rising Otherwise defaults to Mean Reversion This prevents running mean-reversion logic in trend breakouts and reduces “mode mismatch.” 5) Multi-timeframe (MTF) confirmation (optional) MTF confirmation can be enabled to require that the higher timeframe oscillator sign aligns with the direction of the signal. This is useful for reducing noise on MNQ 1m by requiring higher-timeframe structure agreement (e.g., 5m or 15m). 6) MOEP Gate (optional “institutional” filter) The MOEP gate is a confluence score filter intended to reduce low-quality signals. It aggregates multiple components into a 0–100 score: BB/KC squeeze condition Expansion proxy Trend proxy Momentum proxy (RSI-based) Volume catalyst (volume z-score) Structure break (highest/lowest break) You can set: Score threshold (minimum score required) Minimum components required (forces diversity of evidence) When enabled, a signal must satisfy both oscillator logic and MOEP confluence conditions. 7) Research harness (NON-CAUSAL, OFF by default) A built-in research mode evaluates signals using future bars to compute basic forward excursion statistics: MFE (max favorable excursion) MAE (max adverse excursion) Simple win-rate proxy based on MFE vs MAE This feature is strictly for offline analysis and tuning. It is disabled by default and should not be considered “live-safe” because it uses future information for evaluation. Signals and interpretation Mean Reversion regime Long: oscillator is below the lower band and turns back upward across it Short: oscillator is above the upper band and turns back downward across it Trend regime Long: oscillator crosses above zero (optionally requires structure break confirmation) Short: oscillator crosses below zero (optionally requires structure break confirmation) Hybrid When Hybrid is selected (manual mode), the indicator allows both trend and mean-reversion triggers, but still respects the filters and gates you enable. Recommended starting configuration (MNQ 1m) If you want stable, high-quality signals first, then expand into research: Use RTH only: ON Auto regime switch: ON Adaptive length: ON Adaptive bands: ON MTF confirmation: OFF initially (turn ON later with 5m) MOEP Gate: OFF initially (turn ON after you confirm base behavior) Research harness: OFF (only enable for tuning studies) Practical notes / transparency The indicator is designed to be stable on live bars (optional confirmed-bar behavior reduces flicker). No repainting logic is used for signals. Any “performance” numbers shown under Research harness are not tradable metrics; they are forward-looking evaluation outputs intended strictly for experimentation.

Futures trading involves substantial risk, including the possibility of loss exceeding initial investment.

UK100 London Judas & IFVG SetupUK100 London Judas & IFVG Setup Overview This indicator is a specialized trading tool designed to automate the ICT Judas Swing strategy specifically for the UK100 (FTSE 100) index during the London Market Open. It combines institutional time-based logic with price action confirmation using Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) to identify high-probability reversal setups. How It Works The strategy is based on the concept that the initial move after the London Open is often a "fake-out" (manipulation) designed to trap retail traders and engineer liquidity before the true trend of the day begins. Session & Opening Price: The script marks the London Open price (default 09:00 Warsaw / 08:00 London time) with a dashed line. This serves as the "line in the sand." Prices moving away from this line initially are monitored for manipulation. Judas Swing (Liquidity Sweep): If price moves BELOW the open, it is hunting Sell-Side Liquidity (trapping sellers). If price moves ABOVE the open, it is hunting Buy-Side Liquidity (trapping buyers). The Entry Trigger: Inversion FVG (IFVG): The indicator scans for Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created during the manipulation phase. BUY Signal: The price manipulates lower, creates a Bearish FVG (Red Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes ABOVE that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Green), acting as support. SELL Signal: The price manipulates higher, creates a Bullish FVG (Green Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes BELOW that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Orange), acting as resistance. Key Features Automated Pattern Recognition: No need to manually draw gaps. The script detects valid FVG inversions that align with the Judas Swing logic. Built-in Risk Calculator: The signal labels display the exact Lot Size you should use based on your account balance and risk percentage (default 0.5%). It calculates this dynamically based on the Stop Loss distance. Institutional Targets: The indicator fetches H1 Fractals (Liquidity) from the 1-hour timeframe and plots them on your 1-minute chart as blue lines. These are your primary Take Profit (TP) levels. Stop Loss Visualization: Automatically suggests a Stop Loss placement behind the swing high/low of the reversal structure. How to Use Timeframe: Set your chart to 1 Minute (1m). Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100). Wait: Allow the London session to open. Watch for price to move away from the opening line. Execute: When a BUY or SELL label appears: Enter the trade using the Lot Size shown on the label. Set your Stop Loss at the price shown on the label. Target the blue H1 Liquidity lines for profit taking. Settings Timezone: Set this to your chart/exchange timezone (Default: Europe/Warsaw). Account Balance: Input your current trading capital (e.g., 100,000) for accurate risk calculations. Risk Per Trade %: The percentage of your account you are willing to lose if the Stop Loss is hit (Standard: 0.5% - 1.0%). Contract Size: The value of 1 point movement (Check your broker's specifications. Usually 1 for CFDs). Alerts You can set a single alert in TradingView to capture all signals. Select the indicator and choose "Any alert() function call". You will receive a notification with the direction (Buy/Sell), Entry Price, and Lot Size.

Green AverageGA (Green Average) is used as a bias and context tool. The indicator is not an entry signal by itself, but answers the question: Should I even be looking for longs or shorts right now? 1. What the indicator shows • BP (green line): buying pressure – how much of the upward movement is driven by green candles. • SP (red line): selling pressure – how much of the downward movement is driven by red candles. • GA % (box): proportion of candles that are green (frequency / flow). 2. Quick market read (3 seconds) • BP above SP → bullish bias • SP above BP → bearish bias • Lines close together → chop / uncertain market • Both lines spiking simultaneously → high energy / volatility 3. Core rules • Bias first, entry second: trade only in the direction of dominant pressure. • Crossovers indicate regime shifts, not automatic entries. • GA % is context, not a buy/sell signal. 4. Entry models A) Trend continuation BP > SP with clear separation. Wait for a pullback (VWAP, support, MA) and enter on trend resumption. B) Regime shift after crossover After a BP/SP crossover, wait for price confirmation (15m swing break or VWAP reclaim). C) Mean reversion (range) Only when both lines are low and cross frequently. Small targets, defensive sizing. 5. Common mistakes • Taking every crossover as a trade • Oversizing when lines are glued together • Assuming high GA % guarantees upside 6. Day types • Trend day: BP dominates, GA % often above 52–55. • Chop day: BP ≈ SP, GA % around 50. • Distribution: GA % high but SP takes control. 7. Default settings (ETH 5m) • Window N = 24 (≈ 2 hours) • BP/SP smoothing = 3 • GA used together with VWAP and price structure

Hammer/Inv Hammer + ema and other settings + stratok, so thrown everything at this one as the previous only had longs. so we have all the options, but main feature is the ema to divide up the longs and short, shorts above, longs below, we all know price ends up back to the ema at some point. I have added a volume filter, this calculates the average volume from the last "20" candles (which can be adjusted) then when a hammer appears it has to be larger than the average volume to be valid. Also added trading hours in, if you are switching between RTH and ETH it can cause issue if it enters a position EOD then you get an anomaly trade as we can hold positions past certain times. Also added some trading strategy, so after 2 wins it wont trade again that day or after 1 loss. you decide. So much to play with now.

Session Highlighter with Kill Zones [Exponential-X]Session Highlighter with Kill Zones Overview This indicator provides comprehensive visualization of major forex trading sessions (Asian, London, and New York) with integrated kill zone detection and real-time session analytics. It helps traders identify optimal trading times by highlighting high-volatility periods and tracking session-specific price ranges. What Makes This Original While session indicators are common, this script uniquely combines several features that work together: Kill Zone Integration: Highlights specific high-volatility windows within sessions (London: 02:00-05:00 EST, NY: 08:30-11:00 EST) when institutional activity typically peaks Session Overlap Detection: Automatically detects and highlights when major sessions overlap (London-NY, Asian-London) with distinct visual cues Real-Time Range Tracking: Calculates and displays percentage-based session ranges as they develop, not just historical data Dynamic Statistics Dashboard: Live table showing current active session, session times, and comparative range percentages Customizable Visual System: Flexible styling options including background shading, box overlays, and configurable line styles for session boundaries How It Works Session Detection Logic The script uses timezone-normalized session detection based on EST/EDT times. It converts the current bar's timestamp to New York time and determines which session(s) are active using minute-based calculations. This approach ensures accurate session detection regardless of your chart's timezone settings. Kill Zones Kill zones represent periods within sessions when institutional traders are most active. The London kill zone (02:00-05:00 EST) captures pre-London open volatility, while the NY kill zone (08:30-11:00 EST) aligns with US economic data releases and market open activity. Range Calculations Session highs, lows, and opens are tracked from the first bar of each session and updated in real-time. Range percentages are calculated as: ((High - Low) / Low) × 100 , providing a volatility measure that's comparable across different instruments and price levels. Visual System Background shading: Color-coded zones for each session Session boxes: Outline entire session ranges H/L lines: Dynamic lines showing current session extremes Open lines: Reference levels from session start Overlap highlighting: Distinct colors when multiple sessions are active simultaneously How to Use Intraday Trading: Use kill zones to time entries during high-liquidity periods Session Breakouts: Monitor for price breaks above/below session highs/lows Range Trading: Trade between session boundaries during consolidation Session Continuity: Observe how price behaves as sessions transition Volatility Assessment: Compare current session ranges to typical values Recommended Timeframes: Works on any timeframe, but most useful on 1m to 1H charts for intraday trading. Settings Explained Sessions Group Toggle each major session on/off independently Customize colors for visual clarity Enable/disable overlap highlighting Levels Group Show/hide session high/low lines Show/hide session open levels Choose line styles (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) Kill Zones Group Toggle kill zone highlighting Select which kill zones to display Customize kill zone color intensity Display Group Show/hide statistics table Show/hide session labels on chart Important Notes All times are displayed in EST/EDT Session ranges reset at the start of each new session Kill zones are session sub-periods, not separate sessions Overlap colors override individual session colors when multiple sessions are active The statistics table updates in real-time and shows percentage-based ranges for cross-instrument comparison Session Times Reference Asian Session: 19:00 - 04:00 EST (Tokyo open through early Sydney close) London Session: 03:00 - 12:00 EST (Full European trading hours) New York Session: 08:00 - 17:00 EST (US market hours) London Kill Zone: 02:00 - 05:00 EST (Pre-London volatility spike) NY Kill Zone: 08:30 - 11:00 EST (US open and news releases) Alerts Available The script includes six pre-configured alert conditions: London Kill Zone start NY Kill Zone start London-NY Overlap start Asian Session open London Session open NY Session open Create alerts through TradingView's alert system to get notified when specific sessions or kill zones begin. Disclaimer: This indicator is for informational purposes only. Session times and kill zones are based on typical market patterns but do not guarantee specific trading outcomes. Always use proper risk management.
