TradeEasy - KintroThe TradingView script provided is a custom indicator named "TradeEasy - Kintro". It is created by the author Kintro and is designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. The indicator is based on the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and uses two different EMAs, one with a period of 20 and the other with a period of 50.
The indicator is meant to be used on the 5-minute timeframe and it is recommended to use TradingView in Dark Mode for better appearance. The author also reminds users that no strategy works 100% accurately and backtesting should be done before trading with a real account. The author is not responsible for any losses incurred by traders.
The indicator uses a simple set of rules to generate trading signals. The thick line on the chart represents the 50 EMA while the thin line represents the 20 EMA. When the thin line crosses upwards over the thick line, it indicates a bullish signal. After the crossover, traders are advised to wait for the price to pullback between the two lines. A range should then be created while the price moves through the thin line.
On the break of the range, an entry signal is generated, and the stop loss should be set below the range. The author advises traders to exit their profits according to their own analysis or price action and not to re-enter on the next pullback of the same trend. The same rules apply when the thin line crosses downwards over the thick line.
The author emphasizes that range creation is mandatory on crossing and that traders should not try to go against the trend. If the price is above both lines, traders should only go for buy orders, and vice versa.
If there is no range created while crossing, traders are advised not to enter the market. Traders should wait for the opportunity and not force a trade.
The indicator also includes a plot of the 34 EMA, and a range is created above and below the price action using the "up" and "down" variables. The author uses the "fill" function to color the background of the chart to highlight the range. The "dummy" variable is used to plot circles above or below the price action, depending on the trend.
In summary, the "TradeEasy - Kintro" indicator is a custom indicator designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals based on the crossing of two EMAs. The author provides a set of rules to generate trading signals and advises traders to wait for the opportunity and not force a trade. The indicator also includes a visual representation of the range created on the chart. As always, traders are advised to conduct their own research and analysis before entering any trades.

Average Range @coldbrewroshTaking the average daily range from low to high or high to low isn't the "best" way to get an idea of how much to set targets. So, I made this indicator to make the system better.
This indicator calculates the daily range from Open to High on Bullish Days & Open to Low on Bearish Days .
Nobody can catch the absolute low of the day on bullish days and get out at the high but one can enter at a reasonable price around the open ( 17:00 EST ) .
To complement the Average Range, another table shows the movement in the opposite direction.
For Instance: On Bullish Days how much it moved from Open to Low so that we have an idea of where to put the stop loss and vice versa. The time ranges calculated are the last 5 days, last 1 month, last 3 months & last 1 year.
Note #1: Even though the date range is predefined, it has a different meaning. For Instance: date range of last 5 days means "calculation of the range of last 5 bullish daily candles & not last 5 days" .
Note #2: Exclusive to Forex at the time of posting this.
True Average Period Traded RangeTrue Average Period Trading Range (TAPTR)
The J. Welles Wilder Average True Range calculation includes the ability to calculate in gaps into the equation.
It is in my opinion that gaps are untraded range values until the prices on their own come back and close the gaps.
The TAPTR calculation is simple, it is the average for a set period of time of the HIGH - LOW.
The ATR average calculation is automatically set based on the timeframe period you are looking at.
12 Months (1 year) = 10 (1 decade)
Months = 12 (1 year)
Weeks = 12 (1 business quarter)
Days = 21 (1 trading month)
4 Hour = 9 (5 trading days)
1 Hour = 33 (5 trading days)
45 minutes = 9 (1 trading day)
30 minutes = 14 (1 trading day)
15 minutes = 28 (1 trading day)
10 minutes = 42 (1 trading day)
5 minutes = 85 (1 trading day)
1 minute = 420 (1 trading day)
default value = 21 (if using a timeframe not described above)
The "master trend" as being a 21 SMA.
The colored columns represent the actual range value for that time period.
Description of values from left to right.
1) Actual Trade Range Value for the time period you are viewing
2) % of price (in decimal, you need multiply by 100 to get the true percent)
3) Average Traded Range
4) % of price
5) .618 of Average Traded Range
6) % of price
7) Mean of #3 and #5
8) % of price
The % of price is displayed in its calculated form. You need to multiple the value by 100 if you want the actual percent.
Example: Displayed Value: 0.0246 = 2.46%
Why calculated form only? If the ranges are .72 and the % of price is 2.32 the indicator looks all jacked up like a redneck's pick-up.
However, if it is .0232, everything is to scale.
Why is % of price helpful?
If you are trading and are aware that average period traded range is 5%, you now have an idea of an average return if you could catch from low to high (or short high to low).
Bar Colors
RED is greater than 4.2x TAPTR
ORANGE is greater than 2.618x TAPTR but less than RED
YELLOW is greater than 1.618x TAPTR but less than ORANGE
GREEN is greater than .618x TAPTR but less than YELLOW
BLUE is less than GREEN
The colors of the bars represent how far from the Master Trend (21 SMA) the close is.
This is determined by taking the difference between the close and the 21 SMA and dividing by the current TAPTR.
EXAMPLE:
IF you have a RED bar, the close is greater than 4.2 TAPTRs away from the 21 SMA. This means that either prices will stall and remain flat until
the SMA comes to the prices or turn and return to the SMA.
If prices are greater than 4.2 TAPTR, that also represents that it is greater than 4 or more time periods from the mean if the return traded within the averages.
Pro Trading Art Open Range Breakout StrategyThis strategy is based on Selected Candle High Low Breakout with buffer point.
You can select specific candle from input tab by giving time of that candle.
Default Settings:
Start Hour : Hour of starting candle means from this input you can specify opening candle. Default is 9.
Start Minute: Minute of starting candle. Default is 15. Means Default opening candle is 9:15
Stop Hour : Means After this time no new trade will execute.
End Hour & End Minute & Close All Trade : Means when you specify End Hour and Minute and Close all trade is true then strategy will close all trade on specified time.
Buffer : With the help of this option you can add some point in High and low of Opening Candle
Trade Mode : You can specify Target and Stop Loss in point or Percent
Stop Loss Point or Percent : This will work according to Trade Mode
Target Point Or Percent : This will work according to Trade Mode
Impatient TS VWAP BandsImpatient VWAP bands are based of Traderskew's VWAP bands but are for more impatient traders.
Wicking or crossing down through the upper band indicates a good short trade entry for range-bound trading periods while wicking or crossing up through the lower band indicates a good long entry in range-bound conditions.
By default, impatience is disabled. If it is turned on, adjusting impatience determines how quickly the bands approach price: higher impatience approaches price faster. Rebound indicates how far from price the bands bounce after hitting price.
RAVI FX Fisher [Loxx]RAVI FX Fisher is a special implementation of RAVI using WMA moving averages and ATR and then normalized like Fisher Transform. If the histogram falls between the white lines, the market is too choppy to trade. This indicator is tuned for Forex.
What is RAVI?
The Range Action Verification Index (RAVI) indicator shows the percentage difference between current prices and past prices to identify market trends. It is calculated based on moving averages of different lengths.

Stop Loss With Average True Range (ATR)Stop Loss With Average True Range (ATR)
It simplifies the calculation of stop loss price for stop loss method using the average true range (ATR).
For example;
You want to stop loss below 3 ATR. Let's assume the price is 100, the average true range is 5. You will multiply the average true range by 3 and subtract from the price and enter a stop loss order at the 85 price you have reached. Instead of doing this calculation every time, you just need to use this script and set the multiplier to 3. A stop loss line will be drawn below the price candles.
You can set the method to be used when averaging the true range. Methods you can use to average: EMA (exponentially moving average), HMA (hull moving average), RMA (moving average used in RSI), SMA (simple moving average), SWMA (symmetrically weighted moving average), VWMA (volume-weighted moving average), WMA (weighted moving average).
You can set the length to be used when averaging the true range.
You can set the multiplier to be used when determining the stop loss price.

Ortalama Gerçek Aralıkla (ATR) Zarar Durdurma
Gerçek aralığın ortalamasını kullanarak zarar durdurma yöntemi için zarar durdurma fiyatının hesaplanmasını kolaylaştırır.
Örneğin;
3 ATR kadar aşağıda zarar durdurmak istiyorsunuz. Fiyatın 100, ortalama gerçek aralığın 5 olduğunu varsayalım. Ortalama gerçek aralığı 3 ile çarparak fiyattan çıkaracaksınız ve ulaştığınız 85 fiyatına zarar durdurma emri gireceksiniz. Bu hesabı her seferinde yapmak yerine bu betiği kullanmanız ve çarpanı 3 olarak ayarlamanız yeterli. Bu sayede fiyat mumlarının altına zarar durdurma çizgisi çizilecektir.
Gerçek aralığın ortalaması alınırken kullanılacak yöntemi ayarlayabilirsiniz. Ortalama almak için seçebileceğiniz yöntemler: EMA (üstel hareketli ortalama), HMA (gövde hareketli ortalama), RMA (göreceli hareketli ortalama), SMA (basit hareketli ortalama), SWMA (simetrik ağırlıklı hareketli ortalama), VWMA (hacim ağırıklı hareketli ortalama), WMA (ağırlıklı hareketli ortalama).
Gerçek aralığın ortalaması alınırken kullanılacak periyot uzunluğunu ayarlayabilirsiniz.
Zarar durdurma fiyatını belirlerken kullanılacak çarpanı ayarlayabilirsiniz.
EHMA Range StrategyThis script is a modified version of @borserman's script for the Exponential Hull Moving Average
All credit for the EHMA goes to him :)
In addition to the EHMA, this script works with a range around the EHMA (which can be modified), in an attempt to be robust against fake signals. Many times a bar will close below a moving average, only to reverse again the next bar, which eats away at your profits. Especially on shorter timeframes, but also on choppy longer timeframes this can make a strategy unattractive to use.
With the range around the EHMA, the strategy only enters a long/exit-short position if a bar crosses above the upper range. Vice versa, it only enters a short/exit-long position if a bar crosses below the lower range. This avoids positions if bars behave choppy within the EHMA range & only enters a position if the market is confident in it's direction. Having said that, fakeouts are still possible, but a lot less frequent. Having backtested this strategy vs the regular EHMA strategy (and having experimented with various settings), this version seems to be a lot more robust & profitable!
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as good as in historical backtesting.

Bogdan Ciocoiu - Sniper EntryWhat is Sniper Entry
Sniper Entry is a set indicator that encapsulates a collection of pre-configured scripts using specific variables that enable users to extract signals by interpreting market behaviour quickly, suitable for 1-3min scalping. This instrument is a tool that acts as a confluence for traders to make decisions concerning current market conditions. This indicator does not apply solely to an asset.
What Sniper Entry is not
Sniper Entry is not interpreting fundamental analysis and will also not be providing out of box market signals. Instead, it will provide a collection of integrated and significantly improved open-source subscripts designed to help traders speculate on market trends. Traders must apply their strategies and configure Sniper Entry accordingly to maximise the script's output.
Originality and usefulness
The collection of subscripts encapsulated in this tool makes it unique in the Trading View ecosystem. This indicator enables traders to consider entry positions or exit positions by comparing similar algorithms at once.
Its usefulness also emerges from the unique configurations embedded in the indicator's settings, which are different from those of the original scripts.
This indicator's originality is also reflected in how its modules are integrated, including the integration of the settings.
Open-source reuse
I used the following open-source resources, which I simplified significantly and pre-configured for short term scalping. The source codes for the below are already in the public domain, including the following links listed below.

SD - Average True Range v5 - DoubleSD - Average True Range - Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly v5
It gives ATR intervals as 4 hours, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. The expectation is to fill the ATR targets within the specified ranges. It can be used to determine target points on charts with a clear direction on the train.
Unlike the previous version, it is provided to use 2 different periods in the same indicator.
Note: Developed based on the source codes of the original SD ADR indicator.
High & Low Of Custom Session - OpeningRange Breakout (Expo)High & Low Of Custom Session - OpeningRange Breakout (Expo) prints the high and the low of a custom session.

Average True Range OverlayPlots ATR calculated on a daily basis as an overlay on the current chart.
Implemented using the builtin atr function.
ATR is a volatility indicator
originally developed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr. for commodities:
New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems. Greensboro, NC: Trend Research. ISBN 978-0-89459-027-6.
The range of a day's trading is simply R = high − low.
The true range extends it to yesterday's closing price if it was outside of today's range:
TR = max
The average true range is an N-day smoothed moving average of the TR values.
A first stab at a sensible stop loss level might be 3*ATR below recent peak.
Pivot Range Pivot BossMy first attempt to code something. It's Mark Fischer concept of Pivot Range from his book Logical Trader.
The strategy for using it is actually from Frank Ochoa's book Secrets of a Pivot Boss. Pivot Range is the "meat of the matket" and "the heart beat of the market" according to him.
Besides using the actual pivots the strategy is based on the relationships between 2 day pivot ranges.
Higher Value - Bulish
Overlapping Higher - Moderate Bulish
Lower Value- Bearish
Overlapping Lower - Moderate Bearish
Unchanged - Sideways/Breakout
Outside - Sideways
Inside - Breakout
MA ATR RangeExponencial Moving average with 3 ATR ranges. It shows trend and overbought and oversold levels.
Magic Hour Range + Window Levels (0/50/75/100 + Extensions)This indicator plots one or more “Magic Hour” ranges (by ET hour) by drawing the hour’s high/low box, then extending an aligned post-hour analysis window for a set number of hours. Inside that window it overlays key reversion targets—0% (High), 50% (Mid), 100% (Low), optional 25%/75%—plus optional extension levels beyond the range (±25/50/75/100% and extras). All levels are clipped to the analysis window for a clean, session-by-session view of range, targets, and extensions.
Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR) with POC PriceThis script visualizes volume distribution for the bars currently visible on your chart, helping you identify key liquidity zones and high-traffic price levels.
Main Features:
・Dynamic Range: Recalculates automatically as you zoom or scroll.
・POC Price Label: Highlights the Point of Control (highest volume) with a clear price tag.
・Value Area (VA): Visually separates the most active trading zone (default 70%).
・Highly Flexible: Choose your preferred layout (Left or Right) and colors.
How to use:
1. Spot S/R Levels: Look for long bars (High Volume Nodes); these often act as strong support or resistance.
2. Monitor the POC: The Point of Control is a price magnet. Watch for reactions or retests at this level.
3. Low Volume Gaps: Price tends to move quickly through areas with very short volume bars.
DTG Open Range Breakout
Description:
Overview The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is one of the most statistically significant strategies for day traders, particularly in Futures (ES/NQ) and Forex markets. This indicator automates the process of identifying the "Opening Range" (e.g., the first 30 minutes of the New York session) and visualizing the key High/Low levels that define the day's bias.
Unlike standard indicators that clutter the chart, this tool focuses on Price Action context. It highlights the critical volatility window and alerts you only when price makes a definitive move outside of this established range.
Key Features
Fully Customizable Session: Defaults to 09:30–10:00 (ET), but can be adjusted for any market (London Open, Tokyo Open, etc.).
Visual "No-Trade" Zone: Draws a shaded box representing the range formation period. This helps traders avoid "choppy" price action during the initial volatility.
Auto-Reset: The script automatically detects a new trading day and resets the range, keeping your chart clean without manual intervention.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Once the range is closed, the High and Low lines extend forward, acting as key support or resistance levels for the rest of the session.
Smart Alerts: Alerts are programmed to trigger only after the range has fully formed, preventing false signals during the volatility establishment phase.
Reversals: If price breaks out but immediately fails and re-enters the box, consider this a "Fakeout" and look for a move to the opposite side.
Settings
Open Range Session: The specific time window to measure (Format: HHMM-HHMM).
Range Box Color: Visual preference for the shaded area.
Extend High/Low Lines: Toggle the dashed projection lines on/off.

CVD Flow Labels for Sessions Ranges [AMT Edition]CVD Flow Labels for Session Ranges
Description:
This script provides a session-aware Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) analysis designed to enhance the “Session Ranges ” framework by combining price extremes with detailed volume flow dynamics. Unlike generic trend or scalping indicators, this tool focuses on identifying aggressive buying and selling pressure, distinguishing between absorption (failed auctions where aggressive flows are rejected) and acceptance (confirmed continuation of flows).
How it works:
CVD Calculation: The script calculates delta for each bar using a choice of Total, Periodic, or EMA-based cumulative methods. Delta represents the net difference between estimated buying and selling volume per bar.
Normalization: By normalizing delta relative to recent volatility, it highlights extreme flows that are statistically significant, making large shifts in market sentiment easier to spot.
Session-Specific Analysis: The indicator separates Asia, London, and New York sessions to allow context-sensitive interpretation of price and volume interactions. Each session’s extremes are monitored, and flow labels are plotted relative to these extremes.
Flow Labels: Bullish and bearish absorption (“ABS”) and acceptance (“ACC WEAK/STRONG”) labels provide immediate visual cues about whether aggressive flows are being absorbed or accepted at key price levels.
Alerts: Configurable alerts trigger when absorption or acceptance occurs, supporting active trading or strategy automation.
Originality & Usefulness:
This script is original because it integrates volume-based auction theory with session-specific market structure, rather than simply showing trend or scalping signals. By combining CVD dynamics with session extreme levels from the “Session Ranges ” script, traders can:
Identify where price is likely to be accepted or rejected.
Confirm aggressive buying or selling flows before entering trades.
Time entries near session extremes with higher probability setups.
How to use:
Apply the “Session Ranges ” to see session highs, lows, and interaction lines.
Use this CVD Flow Labels script to visualize absorption and acceptance at these session levels.
Enter trades based on alignment of session extremes and flow signals:
Absorption at a session extreme may indicate a potential reversal.
Acceptance suggests continuation in the direction of the flow.
Alerts can help manage trades without constant screen monitoring.
This tool is designed to give traders a structured, session-based view of market auctions, providing actionable insights that go beyond typical trend-following or scalping methods. It emphasizes flow analysis and statistical extremes, enabling traders to make more informed decisions grounded in market microstructure.
Volume vs Range Imbalance DetectorDescription :-
Concept :-
This indicator is designed to identify "Effort vs. Result" anomalies in the market using Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) concepts. It highlights specific candles where high trading activity (Volume) is occurring, but the price movement (Range) is restricted. This behavior often signals the presence of heavy absorption by buyers or sellers ("Smart Money" activity) before a potential reversal or continuation.
How It Works :-
The script combines two distinct methods of volume analysis into a single view
1. Structural Imbalance (Lime & Red Signals)
This logic detects major market anomalies by comparing the current candle against a 50-period average context.
The Logic: A signal is generated if the Volume is significantly higher than the average (default 1.618x the 50 SMA) AND the Price Range is significantly smaller than the average (default 1.272x the 50 ATR).
Lime Candle/Dot (Bullish Absorption): Massive volume with small range, closing in the upper 50% of the bar. This suggests sellers are dumping, but buyers are absorbing all orders, preventing the price from dropping.
Red Candle/Dot (Bearish Blockade): Massive volume with small range, closing in the lower 50% of the bar. This suggests buyers are pushing, but sellers are absorbing the demand, preventing the price from rising.
2. Hidden Activity (Orange Signals)
This logic is more sensitive and compares the current candle only to the previous candle.
The Logic: A signal is generated if the current Volume is higher than the previous bar's volume, but the current Range is smaller than the previous bar's range.
Orange Candle/Dot: This indicates "Churn." Effort is increasing, but the result (movement) is decreasing. It is often an early warning sign of congestion or a pending breakout.
Visual Guide
Lime Dot (Below Bar): Strong Buying Pressure (Bullish Imbalance).
Red Dot (Above Bar): Strong Selling Pressure (Bearish Imbalance).
Orange Dot (Above Bar): Hidden Activity / Churn (Warning).
Settings
Context Length: The lookback period for the moving averages (Default: 50).
Volume/Range Multipliers: Determine how strict the "Imbalance" signals are. Higher numbers result in fewer, more significant signals.
Show Hidden Activity: Toggle the orange signals on or off.
Disclaimer
This tool is for educational purposes only. Volume analysis is subjective and should be used in conjunction with other form
Intraday Sessions Ranges with Time SegmentationSession Ranges indicator overlays customizable range boxes on major trading sessions (e.g. London, Premarket, NY AM and NY PM) using New York time.
Toggle visibility, add evenly spaced vertical segment lines, and highlight key time zones. Perfect for traders marking price action and levels across multiple historical days.
QuantCrawler 5m ORB Pro - Opening Range with Confluence FiltersThis indicator captures the 5-minute Opening Range and generates entry signals using a breakout-then-retest methodology. It includes optional confluence filters to refine entries and reduce false signals.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Captures the 5-minute Opening Range (high, low, midpoint) at your selected session open
2. Waits for price to break beyond OR high or low by your defined distance
3. After breakout, monitors for price to retest the OR midpoint
4. Signals LONG after bullish breakout + midpoint retest
5. Signals SHORT after bearish breakout + midpoint retest
6. Marks invalidated signals with (X) if price breaks through the opposite side

First Candle Range (FCR) Gold Strategy - EtubersThe 18:00 (6:00 PM) candle is widely used by traders in the Forex and Futures markets because it marks the New York market rollover and the start of the Asian session.
How the Strategy Works:
- The Range: The High and Low prices of the 1-hour candle (18:00–19:00) create a "Supply and Demand" zone.
- The Breakout: A candle closing above the high signals a bullish breakout; a candle closing below the low signals a bearish breakout.
- Institutional Memory: By extending this zone forward for 4 days, traders can identify where "old" 18:00 levels act as support or resistance in the future.
- Execution: Traders often wait for a breakout followed by a "retest" of the box boundary to enter a high-probability trade.
QFT MTF Range DetectorQFT MTF Range Detector — QuantumFlowTrader
Description:
The QFT MTF Range Detector is a multi-timeframe (MTF) tool designed to identify consolidation zones or ranging conditions across multiple intraday timeframes — from 1 minute up to 4 hours. This indicator is optimized for high-frequency trading environments such as scalping and day trading.
How it works:
For each selected timeframe, the indicator evaluates five key technical conditions:
- Low ADX (less than 17) – suggesting weak trend strength.
- Range width within a specific normalized threshold.
- Normalized ATR (volatility filter) in a defined range.
- RSI near the neutral zone (40–60) with low volatility.
- Price proximity to the mid-range (consolidation center).
Each condition contributes a score. If at least 3 out of 5 conditions are met, that timeframe is considered to be in a range (consolidation).
Visual output:
A compact table is displayed on the chart showing all selected timeframes:
Black box = Timeframe is in a range (consolidation).
Purple box = Not in a range (likely trending or volatile).
Timeframes are labeled (e.g., "4H", "15M") for clarity.
Customization:
Choose display corner (top/bottom, left/right).
Enable or disable table borders.
Set custom colors for range and non-range signals.
Use case:
Traders can quickly assess which timeframes are in a range, helping them:
Avoid choppy markets,
Time entries and exits better,
Confirm multi-timeframe alignment.
Note: This is not a buy/sell signal indicator. It is a market condition filter to enhance decision-making.
