MERV: Market Entropy & Rhythm Visualizer [BullByte]The MERV (Market Entropy & Rhythm Visualizer) indicator analyzes market conditions by measuring entropy (randomness vs. trend), tradeability (volatility/momentum), and cyclical rhythm. It provides traders with an easy-to-read dashboard and oscillator to understand when markets are structured or choppy, and when trading conditions are optimal.
Purpose of the Indicator
MERV’s goal is to help traders identify different market regimes. It quantifies how structured or random recent price action is (entropy), how strong and volatile the movement is (tradeability), and whether a repeating cycle exists. By visualizing these together, MERV highlights trending vs. choppy environments and flags when conditions are favorable for entering trades. For example, a low entropy value means prices are following a clear trend line, whereas high entropy indicates a lot of noise or sideways action. The indicator’s combination of measures is original: it fuses statistical trend-fit (entropy), volatility trends (ATR and slope), and cycle analysis to give a comprehensive view of market behavior.
Why a Trader Should Use It
Traders often need to know when a market trend is reliable vs. when it is just noise. MERV helps in several ways: it shows when the market has a strong direction (low entropy, high tradeability) and when it’s ranging (high entropy). This can prevent entering trend-following strategies during choppy periods, or help catch breakouts early. The “Optimal Regime” marker (a star) highlights moments when entropy is very low and tradeability is very high, typically the best conditions for trend trades. By using MERV, a trader gains an empirical “go/no-go” signal based on price history, rather than guessing from price alone. It’s also adaptable: you can apply it to stocks, forex, crypto, etc., on any timeframe. For example, during a bullish phase of a stock, MERV will turn green (Trending Mode) and often show a star, signaling good follow-through. If the market later grinds sideways, MERV will shift to magenta (Choppy Mode), warning you that trend-following is now risky.
Why These Components Were Chosen
Market Entropy (via R²) : This measures how well recent prices fit a straight line. We compute a linear regression on the last len_entropy bars and calculate R². Entropy = 1 - R², so entropy is low when prices follow a trend (R² near 1) and high when price action is erratic (R² near 0). This single number captures trend strength vs noise.
Tradeability (ATR + Slope) : We combine two familiar measures: the Average True Range (ATR) (normalized by price) and the absolute slope of the regression line (scaled by ATR). Together they reflect how active and directional the market is. A high ATR or strong slope means big moves, making a trend more “tradeable.” We take a simple average of the normalized ATR and slope to get tradeability_raw. Then we convert it to a percentile rank over the lookback window so it’s stable between 0 and 1.
Percentile Ranks : To make entropy and tradeability values easy to interpret, we convert each to a 0–100 rank based on the past len_entropy periods. This turns raw metrics into a consistent scale. (For example, an entropy rank of 90 means current entropy is higher than 90% of recent values.) We then divide by 100 to plot them on a 0–1 scale.
Market Mode (Regime) : Based on those ranks, MERV classifies the market:
Trending (Green) : Low entropy rank (<40%) and high tradeability rank (>60%). This means the market is structurally trending with high activity.
Choppy (Magenta) : High entropy rank (>60%) and low tradeability rank (<40%). This is a mostly random, low-momentum market.
Neutral (Cyan) : All other cases. This covers mixed regimes not strongly trending or choppy.
The mode is shown as a colored bar at the bottom: green for trending, magenta for choppy, cyan for neutral.
Optimal Regime Signal : Separately, we mark an “optimal” condition when entropy_norm < 0.3 and tradeability > 0.7 (both normalized 0–1). When this is true, a ★ star appears on the bottom line. This star is colored white when truly optimal, gold when only tradeability is high (but entropy not quite low enough), and black when neither condition holds. This gives a quick visual cue for very favorable conditions.
What Makes MERV Stand Out
Holistic View : Unlike a single-oscillator, MERV combines trend, volatility, and cycle analysis in one tool. This multi-faceted approach is unique.
Visual Dashboard : The fixed on-chart dashboard (shown at your chosen corner) summarizes all metrics in bar/gauge form. Even a non-technical user can glance at it: more “█” blocks = a higher value, colors match the plots. This is more intuitive than raw numbers.
Adaptive Thresholds : Using percentile ranks means MERV auto-adjusts to each market’s character, rather than requiring fixed thresholds.
Cycle Insight : The rhythm plot adds information rarely found in indicators – it shows if there’s a repeating cycle (and its period in bars) and how strong it is. This can hint at natural bounce or reversal intervals.
Modern Look : The neon color scheme and glow effects make the lines easy to distinguish (blue/pink for entropy, green/orange for tradeability, etc.) and the filled area between them highlights when one dominates the other.
Recommended Timeframes
MERV can be applied to any timeframe, but it will be more reliable on higher timeframes. The default len_entropy = 50 and len_rhythm = 30 mean we use 30–50 bars of history, so on a daily chart that’s ~2–3 months of data; on a 1-hour chart it’s about 2–3 days. In practice:
Swing/Position traders might prefer Daily or 4H charts, where the calculations smooth out small noise. Entropy and cycles are more meaningful on longer trends.
Day trader s could use 15m or 1H charts if they adjust the inputs (e.g. shorter windows). This provides more sensitivity to intraday cycles.
Scalpers might find MERV too “slow” unless input lengths are set very low.
In summary, the indicator works anywhere, but the defaults are tuned for capturing medium-term trends. Users can adjust len_entropy and len_rhythm to match their chart’s volatility. The dashboard position can also be moved (top-left, bottom-right, etc.) so it doesn’t cover important chart areas.
How the Scoring/Logic Works (Step-by-Step)
Compute Entropy : A linear regression line is fit to the last len_entropy closes. We compute R² (goodness of fit). Entropy = 1 – R². So a strong straight-line trend gives low entropy; a flat/noisy set of points gives high entropy.
Compute Tradeability : We get ATR over len_entropy bars, normalize it by price (so it’s a fraction of price). We also calculate the regression slope (difference between the predicted close and last close). We scale |slope| by ATR to get a dimensionless measure. We average these (ATR% and slope%) to get tradeability_raw. This represents how big and directional price moves are.
Convert to Percentiles : Each new entropy and tradeability value is inserted into a rolling array of the last 50 values. We then compute the percentile rank of the current value in that array (0–100%) using a simple loop. This tells us where the current bar stands relative to history. We then divide by 100 to plot on .
Determine Modes and Signal : Based on these normalized metrics: if entropy < 0.4 and tradeability > 0.6 (40% and 60% thresholds), we set mode = Trending (1). If entropy > 0.6 and tradeability < 0.4, mode = Choppy (-1). Otherwise mode = Neutral (0). Separately, if entropy_norm < 0.3 and tradeability > 0.7, we set an optimal flag. These conditions trigger the colored mode bars and the star line.
Rhythm Detection : Every bar, if we have enough data, we take the last len_rhythm closes and compute the mean and standard deviation. Then for lags from 5 up to len_rhythm, we calculate a normalized autocorrelation coefficient. We track the lag that gives the maximum correlation (best match). This “best lag” divided by len_rhythm is plotted (a value between 0 and 1). Its color changes with the correlation strength. We also smooth the best correlation value over 5 bars to plot as “Cycle Strength” (also 0 to 1). This shows if there is a consistent cycle length in recent price action.
Heatmap (Optional) : The background color behind the oscillator panel can change with entropy. If “Neon Rainbow” style is on, low entropy is blue and high entropy is pink (via a custom color function), otherwise a classic green-to-red gradient can be used. This visually reinforces the entropy value.
Volume Regime (Dashboard Only) : We compute vol_norm = volume / sma(volume, len_entropy). If this is above 1.5, it’s considered high volume (neon orange); below 0.7 is low (blue); otherwise normal (green). The dashboard shows this as a bar gauge and percentage. This is for context only.
Oscillator Plot – How to Read It
The main panel (oscillator) has multiple colored lines on a 0–1 vertical scale, with horizontal markers at 0.2 (Low), 0.5 (Mid), and 0.8 (High). Here’s each element:
Entropy Line (Blue→Pink) : This line (and its glow) shows normalized entropy (0 = very low, 1 = very high). It is blue/green when entropy is low (strong trend) and pink/purple when entropy is high (choppy). A value near 0.0 (below 0.2 line) indicates a very well-defined trend. A value near 1.0 (above 0.8 line) means the market is very random. Watch for it dipping near 0: that suggests a strong trend has formed.
Tradeability Line (Green→Yellow) : This represents normalized tradeability. It is colored bright green when tradeability is low, transitioning to yellow as tradeability increases. Higher values (approaching 1) mean big moves and strong slopes. Typically in a market rally or crash, this line will rise. A crossing above ~0.7 often coincides with good trend strength.
Filled Area (Orange Shade) : The orange-ish fill between the entropy and tradeability lines highlights when one dominates the other. If the area is large, the two metrics diverge; if small, they are similar. This is mostly aesthetic but can catch the eye when the lines cross over or remain close.
Rhythm (Cycle) Line : This is plotted as (best_lag / len_rhythm). It indicates the relative period of the strongest cycle. For example, a value of 0.5 means the strongest cycle was about half the window length. The line’s color (green, orange, or pink) reflects how strong that cycle is (green = strong). If no clear cycle is found, this line may be flat or near zero.
Cycle Strength Line : Plotted on the same scale, this shows the autocorrelation strength (0–1). A high value (e.g. above 0.7, shown in green) means the cycle is very pronounced. Low values (pink) mean any cycle is weak and unreliable.
Mode Bars (Bottom) : Below the main oscillator, thick colored bars appear: a green bar means Trending Mode, magenta means Choppy Mode, and cyan means Neutral. These bars all have a fixed height (–0.1) and make it very easy to see the current regime.
Optimal Regime Line (Bottom) : Just below the mode bars is a thick horizontal line at –0.18. Its color indicates regime quality: White (★) means “Optimal Regime” (very low entropy and high tradeability). Gold (★) means not quite optimal (high tradeability but entropy not low enough). Black means neither condition. This star line quickly tells you when conditions are ideal (white star) or simply good (gold star).
Horizontal Guides : The dotted lines at 0.2 (Low), 0.5 (Mid), and 0.8 (High) serve as reference lines. For example, an entropy or tradeability reading above 0.8 is “High,” and below 0.2 is “Low,” as labeled on the chart. These help you gauge values at a glance.
Dashboard (Fixed Corner Panel)
MERV also includes a compact table (dashboard) that can be positioned in any corner. It summarizes key values each bar. Here is how to read its rows:
Entropy : Shows a bar of blocks (█ and ░). More █ blocks = higher entropy. It also gives a percentage (rounded). A full bar (10 blocks) with a high % means very chaotic market. The text is colored similarly (blue-green for low, pink for high).
Rhythm : Shows the best cycle period in bars (e.g. “15 bars”). If no calculation yet, it shows “n/a.” The text color matches the rhythm line.
Cycle Strength : Gives the cycle correlation as a percentage (smoothed, as shown on chart). Higher % (green) means a strong cycle.
Tradeability : Displays a 10-block gauge for tradeability. More blocks = more tradeable market. It also shows “gauge” text colored green→yellow accordingly.
Market Mode : Simply shows “Trending”, “Choppy”, or “Neutral” (cyan text) to match the mode bar color.
Volume Regime : Similar to tradeability, shows blocks for current volume vs. average. Above-average volume gives orange blocks, below-average gives blue blocks. A % value indicates current volume relative to average. This row helps see if volume is abnormally high or low.
Optimal Status (Large Row) : In bold, either “★ Optimal Regime” (white text) if the star condition is met, “★ High Tradeability” (gold text) if tradeability alone is high, or “— Not Optimal” (gray text) otherwise. This large row catches your eye when conditions are ripe.
In short, the dashboard turns the numeric state into an easy read: filled bars, colors, and text let you see current conditions without reading the plot. For instance, five blue blocks under Entropy and “25%” tells you entropy is low (good), and a row showing “Trending” in green confirms a trend state.
Real-Life Example
Example : Consider a daily chart of a trending stock (e.g. “AAPL, 1D”). During a strong uptrend, recent prices fit a clear upward line, so Entropy would be low (blue line near bottom, perhaps below the 0.2 line). Volatility and slope are high, so Tradeability is high (green-yellow line near top). In the dashboard, Entropy might show only 1–2 blocks (e.g. 10%) and Tradeability nearly full (e.g. 90%). The Market Mode bar turns green (Trending), and you might see a white ★ on the optimal line if conditions are very good. The Volume row might light orange if volume is above average during the rally. In contrast, imagine the same stock later in a tight range: Entropy will rise (pink line up, more blocks in dashboard), Tradeability falls (fewer blocks), and the Mode bar turns magenta (Choppy). No star appears in that case.
Consolidated Use Case : Suppose on XYZ stock the dashboard reads “Entropy: █░░░░░░░░ 20%”, “Tradeability: ██████████ 80%”, Mode = Trending (green), and “★ Optimal Regime.” This tells the trader that the market is in a strong, low-noise trend, and it might be a good time to follow the trend (with appropriate risk controls). If instead it reads “Entropy: ████████░░ 80%”, “Tradeability: ███▒▒▒▒▒▒ 30%”, Mode = Choppy (magenta), the trader knows the market is random and low-momentum—likely best to sit out until conditions improve.
Example: How It Looks in Action
Screenshot 1: Trending Market with High Tradeability (SOLUSD, 30m)
What it means:
The market is in a clear, strong trend with excellent conditions for trading. Both trend-following and active strategies are favored, supported by high tradeability and strong volume.
Screenshot 2: Optimal Regime, Strong Trend (ETHUSD, 1h)
What it means:
This is an ideal environment for trend trading. The market is highly organized, tradeability is excellent, and volume supports the move. This is when the indicator signals the highest probability for success.
Screenshot 3: Choppy Market with High Volume (BTC Perpetual, 5m)
What it means:
The market is highly random and choppy, despite a surge in volume. This is a high-risk, low-reward environment, avoid trend strategies, and be cautious even with mean-reversion or scalping.

🛠️ Built in Pine Script v5
Mark4ex vWapMark4ex VWAP is a precision session-anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator crafted for intraday traders who want clean, reliable VWAP levels that reset daily to match a specific market session.
Unlike the built-in continuous VWAP, this version anchors each day to your chosen session start and end time, most commonly aligned with the New York Stock Exchange Open (9:30 AM EST) through the market close (4:00 PM EST). This ensures your VWAP reflects only intraday price action within your active trading window — filtering out irrelevant overnight moves and providing clearer mean-reversion signals.
Key Features:
Fully configurable session start & end times — adapt it for NY session or any other market.
Anchored VWAP resets daily for true session-based levels.
Built for the New York Open Range Breakout strategy: see how price interacts with VWAP during the volatile first 30–60 minutes of the US market.
Plots a clean, dynamic line that updates tick-by-tick during the session and disappears outside trading hours.
Designed to help you spot real-time support/resistance, intraday fair value zones, and liquidity magnets used by institutional traders.
How to Use — NY Open Range Breakout:
During the first hour of the New York session, institutional traders often define an “Opening Range” — the high and low formed shortly after the bell. The VWAP in this zone acts as a dynamic pivot point:
When price is above the session VWAP, bulls are in control — the level acts as a support floor for pullbacks.
When price is below the session VWAP, bears dominate — the level acts as resistance against bounces.
Breakouts from the opening range often test the VWAP for confirmation or rejection.
Traders use this to time entries for breakouts, retests, or mean-reversion scalps with greater confidence.
⚙️ Recommended Settings:
Default: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM New York time — standard US equities session.
Adjust hours/minutes to match your target market’s open and close.
👤 Who is it for?
Scalpers, day traders, prop traders, and anyone trading the NY Open, indices like the S&P 500, or highly liquid stocks during US cash hours.
🚀 Why use Mark4ex VWAP?
Because a properly anchored VWAP is a trader’s real-time institutional fair value, giving you better context than static moving averages. It adapts live to volume shifts and helps you follow smart money footprints.
This indicator will reconfigure every day, anchored to the New York Open, it will also leave historical NY Open VWAP for study purpose.
Reflexivity Resonance Factor (RRF) - Quantum Flow Reflexivity Resonance Factor (RRF) – Quantum Flow
See the Feedback Loops. Anticipate the Regime Shift.
What is the RRF – Quantum Flow?
The Reflexivity Resonance Factor (RRF) – Quantum Flow is a next-generation market regime detector and energy oscillator, inspired by George Soros’ theory of reflexivity and modern complexity science. It is designed for traders who want to visualize the hidden feedback loops between market perception and participation, and to anticipate explosive regime shifts before they unfold.
Unlike traditional oscillators, RRF does not just measure price momentum or volatility. Instead, it models the dynamic feedback between how the market perceives itself (perception) and how it acts on that perception (participation). When these feedback loops synchronize, they create “resonance” – a state of amplified reflexivity that often precedes major market moves.
Theoretical Foundation
Reflexivity: Markets are not just driven by external information, but by participants’ perceptions and their actions, which in turn influence future perceptions. This feedback loop can create self-reinforcing trends or sudden reversals.
Resonance: When perception and participation align and reinforce each other, the market enters a high-energy, reflexive state. These “resonance” events often mark the start of new trends or the climax of existing ones.
Energy Field: The indicator quantifies the “energy” of the market’s reflexivity, allowing you to see when the crowd is about to act in unison.
How RRF – Quantum Flow Works
Perception Proxy: Measures the rate of change in price (ROC) over a configurable period, then smooths it with an EMA. This models how quickly the market’s collective perception is shifting.
Participation Proxy: Uses a fast/slow ATR ratio to gauge the intensity of market participation (volatility expansion/contraction).
Reflexivity Core: Multiplies perception and participation to model the feedback loop.
Resonance Detection: Applies Z-score normalization to the absolute value of reflexivity, highlighting when current feedback is unusually strong compared to recent history.
Energy Calculation: Scales resonance to a 0–100 “energy” value, visualized as a dynamic background.
Regime Strength: Tracks the percentage of bars in a lookback window where resonance exceeded the threshold, quantifying the persistence of reflexive regimes.

Combining short-term and long-term Bollinger Band strategies.
Volume-Weighted Pivot BandsThe Volume-Weighted Pivot Bands are meant to be a dynamic, rolling pivot system designed to provide traders with responsive support and resistance levels that adapt to both price volatility and volume participation. Unlike traditional daily pivot levels, this tool recalculates levels bar-by-bar using a rolling window of volume-weighted averages, making it highly relevant for intraday traders, scalpers, swing traders, and algorithmic systems alike.
-- What This Indicator Does --
This tool calculates a rolling VWAP-based pivot level, and surrounds that central pivot with up to five upper bands (R1–R5) and five lower bands (S1–S5). These act as dynamic zones of potential resistance (R) and support (S), adapting in real time to price and volume changes.
Rather than relying on static session or daily data, this indicator provides continually evolving levels, offering more relevant levels during sideways action, trending periods, and breakout conditions.
-- How the Bands Are Calculated --
Pivot (VWAP Pivot):
The core of this system is a rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price, calculated over a user-defined window (default 20 bars). This ensures that each bar’s price impact is weighted by its volume, giving a more accurate view of fair value during the selected lookback.
Volume-Weighted Range (VW Range):
The highest high and lowest low over the same window are used to calculate the volatility range — this acts as a spread factor.
Support & Resistance Bands (S1–S5, R1–R5):
The bands are offset above and below the pivot using multiples of the VW Range:
R1 = Pivot + (VW Range × multiplier)
R2 = R1 + (VW Range × multiplier)
R3 = R2 + (VW Range x multiplier)
...
S1 = Pivot − (VW Range × multiplier)
S2 = S1 − (VW Range × multiplier)
S3 = S2 - (VW Range x multiplier)
...
You can control the multiplier manually (default is 0.25), to widen or tighten band spacing.
Smoothing (Optional):
To prevent erratic movements, you can optionally toggle on/off a simple moving average to the pivot line (default length = 20), providing a smoother trend base for the bands.
-- How to Use It --
This indicator can be used for:
Support and resistance identification:
Price often reacts to R1/S1, and the outer bands (R4/R5 or S4/S5) act as overshoot zones or strong reversal areas.
Trend context:
If price is respecting upper bands (R2–R3), the trend is likely bullish. If price is pressing into S3 or lower, it may indicate sustained selling pressure or a breakdown.
Volatility framing:
The distance between bands adjusts based on price range over the rolling window. In tighter markets, the bands compress — in volatile moves, they expand. This makes the indicator self-adaptive.
Mean reversion trades:
A move into R4/R5 or S4/S5 without continuation can be a sign of exhaustion — potential for reversal toward the pivot.
Alerting:
Built-in alerts are available for crosses of all major bands (R1–R5, S1–S5), enabling trade automation or scalp alerts with ease.
-- Visual Features --
Fuchsia Lines: Mark all Resistance (R1–R5) levels.
Lime Lines: Mark all Support (S1–S5) levels.
Gray Circle Line: Marks the rolling pivot (VWAP-based).
-- Customizable Settings --
Rolling Length: Number of bars used to calculate VWAP and VW Range.
Multiplier: Controls how wide the bands are spaced.
Smooth Pivot: Toggle on/off to smooth the central pivot.
Pivot Smoothing Length: Controls how many bars to average when smoothing is enabled.
Offset: Visually shift all bands forward/backward in time.
-- Why Use This Over Standard Pivots? --
Traditional pivots are based on previous session data and remain fixed. That’s useful for static setups, but may become irrelevant as price action evolves. In contrast:
This system updates every bar, adjusting to current price behavior.
It includes volume — a key feature missing from most static pivots.
It shows multiple bands, giving a full view of compression, breakout potential, or trend exhaustion.
-- Who Is This For? --
This tool is ideal for:
Day traders & scalpers who need relevant intraday levels.
Swing traders looking for evolving areas of confluence.
Algorithmic/systematic traders who rely on quantifiable, volume-aware support/resistance.
Traders on all assets: works on crypto, stocks, futures, forex — any chart that has volume.

Altcoin Reversal or Correction DetectionINDICATOR OVERVIEW: Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection
Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection is a powerful crypto-specific indicator designed exclusively for altcoins by analyzing their RSI values across multiple timeframes alongside Bitcoin’s RSI. Since BTC's price movements have a strong influence on altcoins, this tool helps traders better understand whether a reversal or correction signal is truly reliable or just noise. Even if an altcoin appears oversold or overbought, it may continue trending with BTC—so this indicator gives you the full picture.
The indicator is optimized for CRYPTO MARKETS only. Not suitable for BTC itself—this is a precision tool built only for ALTCOINS only.
This indicator is not only for signals but also serves as a tool for observing all the information from different timeframes of BTC and altcoins collectively.
How the Calculation Works: Algorithm Overview
The Altcoin Reversal or Correction Detection indicator relies on an algorithm that compares the RSI values of the altcoin across multiple timeframes with Bitcoin's RSI values. This allows the indicator to identify key market moments where a reversal or correction might occur.
BTC-Altcoin RSI Correlation: The algorithm looks for the correlation between Bitcoin's price movements and the altcoin's price actions, as BTC often influences the direction of altcoins. When both Bitcoin and the altcoin show either overbought or oversold conditions in a significant number of timeframes, the indicator signals the potential for a reversal or correction.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Unlike traditional indicators that may focus on a single timeframe, this tool checks multiple timeframes for both BTC and the altcoin. When the same overbought/oversold conditions are met across multiple timeframes, it confirms the likelihood of a trend reversal or correction, providing a more reliable signal. The more timeframes that align with this pattern, the stronger the signal becomes.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions & Extreme RSI Values: The algorithm also takes into account the size of the RSI values, especially focusing on extreme overbought and oversold levels. The greater the RSI values are in these extreme regions, the stronger the potential reversal or correction signal. This means that not only do multiple timeframes need to confirm the condition, but the magnitude of the overbought or oversold RSI level plays a crucial role in determining the strength of the signal.
Signal Strength Levels: The signals are classified into three levels:
Early Signal
Strong Signal
Very Strong Signal
By taking into account the multi-timeframe analysis of both BTC and the altcoin RSI values, along with the magnitude of these RSI values, the indicator offers a highly reliable method for detecting potential reversals and corrections.
Who Is This Indicator Suitable For?
This indicator can also be used to detect reversal points, but it is especially effective for scalping. It highlights potential correction points, making it perfect for quick entries during smaller market pullbacks or short-term trend shifts, which is more suitable for scalpers looking to capitalize on short-term movements
Integration with other tools
Use this tool alongside key Support and Resistance zones to further enhance your trade by filtering for even better quality entries and focusing only on high-quality reversal or correction setups. It can be also used with other indicators and suitable with other personalised strategies.

Enhanced Pressure MTF ScreenerEnhanced Pressure Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Screener Indicator
Overview
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is an add-on that extends the capabilities of the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis . It provides a clear and consolidated view of buy/sell pressure across multiple timeframes. This indicator allows traders to determine when different timeframes are synchronized in the same trend direction, which is particularly useful for making high-confidence trading decisions.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator screens various predefined timeframes (from 1 week down to 10 minutes).
It offers a table view that shows buy or sell ratings for each timeframe, making it easy to see which timeframes are aligned.
Traders can choose which timeframes to include based on their trading strategies (e.g., higher timeframes for position trading, lower timeframes for scalping).
2.Pressure and Trend Calculation
Uses Buy and Sell Pressure calculations from the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure indicator to determine whether buying or selling is dominant in each timeframe.
By analyzing pressures on multiple timeframes, the indicator gives a comprehensive perspective of the current market sentiment.
The indicator calculates whether a move is strong based on user-defined thresholds, which are displayed in the form of additional signals.
3.Heikin Ashi Option
The Heikin Ashi candle type can be toggled on or off. Using Heikin Ashi helps smooth out market noise and provides a clearer indication of trend direction.
This is particularly helpful for traders who want to filter out market noise and focus on the primary trend.
4.Table Customization
Table Positioning: The table showing timeframe data can be positioned at different locations on the chart—top, middle, or bottom.
Text and Alignment: The alignment and text size of the table can be customized for better visual clarity.
Color Settings: Users can choose specific colors to indicate buying and selling pressure across timeframes, making it easy to interpret.
5.Strong Movement Indicators
The screener provides an additional visual cue (🔥) for timeframes where the movement is deemed strong, based on a user-defined threshold.
This helps highlight timeframes where significant buying or selling pressure is present, which could signal potential trading opportunities.
How the Screener Works
1.Pressure Calculation
For each selected timeframe, the indicator retrieves the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) values.
It calculates buy pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is higher than the opening) and sell pressure (the range between high and low when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening).
The screener computes the pressure ratio, which represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, to determine which side is dominant.
2.Trend Rating and Signal Generation
Based on the calculated pressure, the screener determines a trend rating for each timeframe: "Buy," "Sell," or "Neutral." (▲ ,▼ or •)
Additionally, it generates a signal (▲ or ▼) to indicate the current trend direction and whether the move is strong (based on the user-defined threshold).
If the movement is strong, a fire icon (🔥) is added to indicate that there is significant pressure on that timeframe, signaling a higher confidence in the trend.
3.Customizable Strong Move Thresholds
Strong Move Threshold: The screener uses this value to decide whether a trend is significantly strong. A higher value makes it more selective in determining strong moves.
Strong Movement Threshold: Helps determine when an additional strong signal should be displayed, offering further insight into the strength of market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is highly customizable to fit the needs of individual traders:
General Settings:
Use Heikin Ashi: Toggle this setting to use Heikin Ashi for a smoother trend representation.
Strong Move Threshold: Defines how strong a move should be to be considered significant.
Strong Movement Threshold: Specifies the level of pressure required to highlight a move with the fire icon.
Table Settings:
Position: Choose the vertical position of the screener table (top, middle, or bottom of the chart).
Alignment: Align the table (left, center, or right) to best suit your chart layout.
Text Size: Adjust the text size in the table for better readability.
Table Color Settings:
Users can set different colors to represent buying and selling signals for better visual clarity, particularly when scanning multiple timeframes.
Timeframe Settings:
The screener provides options to include up to ten different timeframes. Traders can select and customize each timeframe to match their strategy.
Examples of available timeframes include 1 Week, 1 Day, 12 Hours, down to 10 Minutes, allowing for both broad and detailed analysis.
Practical Use Case
Identifying Trend Alignment Across Timeframes:
Imagine you are about to take a long trade but want to make sure that the trend direction is aligned across multiple timeframes.
The screener displays "Buy" ratings across the 4H, 1H, 30M, and 10M timeframes, while higher timeframes (like 1W and 1D) also show "Buy" with strong signals (🔥). This indicates that buying pressure is strong across the board, adding confidence to your trade.
Spotting Reversal Opportunities:
If a downtrend is evident across most timeframes but suddenly a higher timeframe, such as 12H, changes to "Buy" while showing a strong move (🔥), this could indicate a potential reversal.
The screener allows you to spot these discrepancies and consider taking early action.
Benefits for Traders
1.Synchronization Across Timeframes:
One of the main strengths of this screener is its ability to show synchronized buy/sell signals across different timeframes. This makes it easy to confirm the strength and consistency of a trend.
For example, if you see that all the selected timeframes display "Buy," this implies that both short-term and long-term traders are favoring the upside, giving additional confidence to go long.
2.Quick and Visual Trend Overview:
The table offers an at-a-glance summary, reducing the time required to manually inspect each timeframe.
This makes it particularly useful for traders who want to make quick decisions, such as day traders or scalpers.
3.Strong Move Indicator:
The use of fire icons (🔥) provides an easy way to identify significant movements. This is particularly helpful for traders looking for breakouts or strong market conditions that could lead to high probability trades.
To put it short or to summarize
The Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener is a powerful add-on for traders looking to understand how buy and sell pressure aligns across multiple timeframes. It offers:
A clear summary of buying or selling pressure across different timeframes.
Heikin Ashi smoothing, providing an option to reduce market noise.
Strong movement signals to highlight significant trading opportunities.
Customizable settings to fit any trading strategy or style.
The screener and the main indicator are best used together, as the screener provides the multi-timeframe overview, while the main indicator provides an in-depth look at each individual bar and trend.

Dynamic Resistance and Support LinesThis script is designed to dynamically plot support and resistance lines based on full-dollar and half-dollar price levels relative to the close price on a chart. The script is particularly useful for day traders and scalpers, as it helps visualize key psychological price levels that often act as support and resistance zones in volatile and fast-moving markets in real time.
Key Features:
Dynamic Resistance and Support Levels:
Full-dollar levels: These are calculated by rounding the close price to the nearest full dollar and then extending the levels by adding and subtracting increments of 1 (e.g., $1, $2, $3).
Half-dollar levels: These are calculated by adding and subtracting 0.5 increments to the nearest full-dollar price, providing additional reference points. The historical full-dollar levels remain where support and resistance may have occurred in the past.
Extend Lines:
You can toggle whether the support and resistance lines are extended to the right, left, or both directions. This allows flexibility in projecting potential future areas of support or resistance.
Custom Line Extension:
The user can set the number of bars (or time periods) that the support and resistance lines will extend, giving control over how long the levels remain on the chart.
Color-Coded Lines:
Red lines represent full-dollar resistance and support levels.
Blue lines represent half-dollar levels, making it easy to differentiate between key psychological price zones.
Line Flexibility:
The script allows the lines to extend both left and right on the chart, making it useful for analyzing historical price action or projecting future price movements. The number of bars for extension is customizable, allowing for tailored setups.
Nearest Full Dollar Plot:
The nearest full-dollar price level is plotted as a yellow circle on the chart. This serves as a quick visual cue for traders to monitor price proximity to critical levels.
Benefits in Day Trading, Scalping, and Volatile Markets:
Visualizing Key Psychological Levels:
Full-dollar and half-dollar price levels often act as psychological barriers for traders. This script helps traders easily identify these levels, which are important in both fast-moving markets and during sideways consolidation.
Improved Decision-Making:
By automatically drawing these support and resistance levels, the script helps day traders and scalpers make quicker and more informed decisions, especially in volatile markets where every second counts.
Adaptability to Market Conditions:
The flexibility of extending lines based on trader preferences allows the user to adapt the script to various market conditions, such as high volatility or trend-based trading, providing a clear view of potential breakout or reversal areas.
Better Risk Management:
Having predefined support and resistance levels helps traders better manage risk, as these levels can act as logical areas for setting stop losses or taking profits.
This script is especially valuable for traders looking to capitalize on quick market movements or identify key entry and exit points during market volatility.
Negroni Opening Range StrategyStrategy Summary:
This tool can be used to help identify breakouts from a range during a time-zone of your choosing. It plots a pre-market range, an opening range, it also includes moving average levels that can be used as confluence, as well as plotting previous day SESSION highs and lows.
There are several options on how you wish to close out the trades, all described in more detail below.
Back-testing Inputs:
You define your timezone.
You define how many trades to open on any given day.
You decide to go: long only, short only, or long & short (CAREFUL: "Long & Short" can open trades that effectively closes-out existing ones, for better AND worse!)
You define between which times the strategy will open trades.
You define when it closes any open trades (preventing overnight trades, or leaving trades open into US data times!!).
This hopefully helps make back-testing reflect YOUR trading hours.
NOTE: Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts
For ALL strategies, don’t use Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts unless you know EXACTLY the implications.
Specific to my strategy, using a renko chart can make this 85-90% profitable (I wish it was!!) Although they can be useful, renko charts don’t always capture real wicks, so the renko chart may show your trade up-only but your broker (who is not using renko!!) will have likely stopped you out on a wick somewhere along the line.
NOTE: TradingView ‘Deep backtesting’
For ALL strategies, be cynical of all backtesting (e.g. repainting issues etc) as well as ‘Deep backtesting’ results.
Specific to this strategy, the default settings here SHOULD BE OK, but unfortunately at the time of writing, we can’t see on the chart what exactly ‘deep backtesting’ is calculating. In the past I have noted a number of trades that were not closed at the end of the day, despite my ‘end of day’ trade closing being enabled, so there were big winners and losers that would not have materialized otherwise. As I say, this seems ok at these settings but just always be cynical!!
Opening Range Inputs
You define a pre-market range (example: 08:00 - 09:00).
You define an opening range (example: 09:00 - 09:30).
The strategy will give an update at the close of the opening range to let you know if the opening range has broken out the pre-market range (OR Breakout), or if it has remained inside (OR Inside). The label appears at the end of the opening range NOT at the bar that ‘broke-out’.
This is just a visual cue for you, it has no bearing on what the strategy will do.
The strategy default will trade off the pre-market range, but you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range.
Opening Trades:
Strategy goes long when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-over the ‘pre-market’ high (not the ‘opening range’ high); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Strategy goes short when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-under the ‘pre-market’ low (not the ‘opening range low); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Remember, you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range instead.
NOTES:
Using momentum indicators can help (RSI and MACD): especially to trade range plays in failed breakouts, when momentum shifts… but the strategy won’t do this for you!
Using an anchored vwap at the session open can also provide nice confluence, as well as take-profit levels at the upper/lower of 3x standard deviation.
CLOSING TRADES:
You have 6 take-profit (TP) options:
1) Full TP: uses ATR Multiplier - Full TP at the ATR parameters as defined in inputs.
2) Take Partial profits: ATR Multiplier - Takes partial profits based on parameters as defined in inputs (i.e close 40% of original trade at TP1, close another 40% of original trade at TP2, then the remainder at Full TP as set in option 1.).
3) Full TP: Trailing Stop - Applies a Trailing Stop at the number of points, as defined in inputs.
4) Full TP: MA cross - Takes profit when price crosses ‘Trend MA’ as defined in inputs.
5) Scalp: Points - closes at a set number of points, as defined in inputs.
6) Full TP: PMKT Multiplier - places a SL at opposite pre-market Hi/Low (we go long at a break-out of the pre-market high, 50% would place a SL at the pre-market range mid-point; 100% would place a SL at the pre-market low)'. This takes profit at the input set in option 1).
Enhanced High Volume AbsorptionDescription of the "Enhanced High Volume Absorption" Indicator
The "Enhanced High Volume Absorption" indicator is a specialized trading tool designed for the TradingView platform, optimized for the 15-minute chart timeframe. It offers traders a unique approach to analyzing market momentum and strength by focusing on significant volume movements, which are often precursors to major price shifts.
What the Indicator Does:
High Volume Detection: This indicator identifies periods of high volume trading, which is a key indicator of strong market interest. High volume periods often precede significant price movements, making this an essential tool for anticipating market trends.
Volume Absorption Analysis: It analyzes the absorption of volume in the market. Absorption here refers to situations where the market is able to absorb trading volumes significantly higher than the average without a corresponding substantial change in price. This can be an indication of strong underlying market strength or weakness.
Price Movement Correlation: The script correlates volume spikes with price movements (upward or downward) to provide context to the volume absorption. This correlation helps determine whether the absorption is due to buying pressure (bullish indication) or selling pressure (bearish indication).
How It Does It:
Moving Average Comparisons: The script calculates short-term and long-term Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of trading volumes. By comparing current volumes to these averages, it determines if the current volume is significantly higher than usual.
Volume Thresholds: It uses user-defined multipliers and minimum volume thresholds to filter significant volume events, ensuring that only notable volume spikes are considered.
Impact Analysis: Alongside volume analysis, the script computes the price change and its impact as a percentage of the current price, providing insights into the magnitude of price movements during these high-volume periods.
How to Use It:
Market Entry and Exit Points: The indicator can be used to spot potential entry and exit points. For example, a high volume absorption event with a minimal price change might indicate a strong support or resistance level.
Confirming Market Sentiment: It can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to confirm market trends or reversals. High volume absorption aligned with other bullish or bearish indicators can provide a stronger case for a market move.
Scalping and Short-Term Trading: Optimized for the 15-minute timeframe, this indicator is particularly useful for scalpers and short-term traders. It helps in identifying quick market movements and can be a crucial part of a scalping strategy.
Originality and Underlying Concepts:
The originality of this indicator lies in its specific focus on volume absorption and its impact on price, especially tailored for short-term trading scenarios. Unlike many indicators that only analyze price movements or standard volume analysis, this script delves deeper into how the market is reacting to volume spikes, offering a nuanced view of market dynamics
that is often overlooked. The concept of volume absorption, coupled with the analysis of price movement direction, provides a unique perspective on market strength or weakness.
This tool is distinct in its approach as it doesn't just follow trends or provide generic scalping signals. Instead, it offers a methodical analysis of volume dynamics in relation to price action. By focusing on how the market absorbs volume, the indicator gives traders insights into whether current market movements are backed by substantial trading activity or if they are more likely to be short-lived.
Understanding volume absorption is crucial, especially in a 15-minute trading environment where market movements are swift and require quick decision-making. This indicator aids in identifying those moments when the market shows a significant reaction (or lack thereof) to large volumes, indicating potential setup for a strong move or reversal.
In summary, the "Enhanced High Volume Absorption" indicator is a valuable tool for traders who want to incorporate volume analysis into their trading strategy, especially in a fast-paced, short-term trading environment. It provides a deeper understanding of market dynamics, enabling traders to make more informed decisions based on the interplay between volume and price action.
[Sniper] SSL Hybrid + QQE MOD + Waddah Attar StrategyHi. I’m DuDu95.
**********************************************************************************
This is the script for the series called "Sniper".
*** What is "Sniper" Series? ***
"Sniper" series is the project that I’m going to start.
In "Sniper" Series, I’m going to "snipe and shoot" the youtuber’s strategy: to find out whether the youtuber’s video about strategy is "true or false".
Specifically, I’m going to do the things below.
1. Implement "Youtuber’s strategy" into pinescript code.
2. Then I will "backtest" and prove whether "the strategy really works" in the specific ticker (e.g. BTCUSDT) for the specific timeframe (e.g. 5m).
3. Based on the backtest result, I will rate and judge whether the youtube video is "true" or "false", and then rate the validity, reliability, robustness, of the strategy. (like a lie detector)
*** What is the purpose of this series? ***
1. To notify whether the strategy really works for the people who watched the youtube video.
2. To find and build my own scalping / day trading strategy that really works.
**********************************************************************************
*** Strategy Description ***
This strategy is from "SSL QQE MOD 5MIN SCALPING STRATEGY" by youtuber "Daily Investments".
"Daily Investments" claimed that this strategy will make you some money from 100 trades in any ticker in 5 minute timeframe.
### Entry Logic
1. Long Entry Logic
- close > SSL Hybrid Baseline.
- QQE MOD should turn into blue color.
- Waddah Attar Explosion indicator must be green.
2. Short Entry Logic
- close < SSL Hybrid Baseline
- QQE MOD should turn into red color.
- Waddah Attar Explosion indicator must be red.
### Exit Logic
1. Long Exit Logic
- When QQE MOD turn into red color.
2. Short Entry Logic
- When QQE MOD turn into blue color.
### StopLoss
1. Can Choose Stop Loss Type: Percent, ATR, Previous Low / High.
2. Can Chosse inputs of each Stop Loss Type.
### Take Profit
1. Can set Risk Reward Ratio for Take Profit.
- To simplify backtest, I erased all other options except RR Ratio.
- You can add Take Profit Logic by adding options in the code.
2. Can set Take Profit Quantity.
### Risk Manangement
1. Can choose whether to use Risk Manangement Logic.
- This controls the Quantity of the Entry.
- e.g. If you want to take 3% risk per trade and stop loss price is 6% below the long entry price,
then 50% of your equity will be used for trade.
2. Can choose How much risk you would take per trade.
### Plot
1. Added Labels to check the data of entry / exit positions.
2. Changed and Added color different from the original one. (green: #02732A, red: #D92332, yellow: #F2E313)
3. SSL Hybrid Baseline is by default drawn on the chart.
4. If you check EMA filter, EMA would be drawn on the chart.
5. Should add QQE MOD and Waddah Attar Explosion indicator manually if you want to see QQE MOD.
**********************************************************************************
*** Rating: True or False?
### Rating:
→ 1.5 / 5 (0 = Trash, 1 = Bad, 2 = Not Good, 3 = Good, 4 = Great, 5 = Excellent)
### True or False?
→ False
→ Doesn't Work on 5 minute timeframe. Also, it doesn't work on crypto.
### Better Option?
→ Use this for Day trading or Swing Trading, not for Scalping. (Bigger Timeframe)
→ Although the result was bad at 5 minute timeframe, it was profitable in 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 1d timeframe.
→ BTC, ETH was ok.
→ The result was better when I use EMA filter (only on longer timeframe).
### Robust?
→ So So. Although result was bad in short timeframe (e.g. 30m 15m 5m), backtest result was "consistently" profitable on longer timeframe.
→ Also, MDD was not that bad under risk management option on.
**********************************************************************************
*** Conclusion?
→ Don't use this on short timeframe.
→ Better use on longer timeframe with filter, stoploss and risk management.
VIX Volatility Trend Analysis With Signals - Stocks OnlyVIX VOLATILITY TREND ANALYSIS CLOUD WITH BULLISH & BEARISH SIGNALS - STOCKS ONLY
This indicator is a visual aid that shows you the bullish or bearish trend of VIX market volatility so you can see the VIX trend without switching charts. When volatility goes up, most stocks go down and vice versa. When the cloud turns green, it is a bullish sign. When the cloud turns red, it is a bearish sign.
This indicator is meant for stocks with a lot of price action and volatility, so for best results, use it on charts that move similar to the S&P 500 or other similar charts.
This indicator uses real time data from the stock market overall, so it should only be used on stocks and will only give a few signals during after hours. It does work ok for crypto, but will not give signals when the US stock market is closed.
**HOW TO USE**
When the VIX Volatility Index trend changes direction, it will give a green or red line on the chart depending on which way the VIX is now trending. The cloud will also change color depending on which way the VIX is trending. Use this to determine overall market volatility and place trades in the direction that the indicator is showing. Do not use this by itself as sometimes markets won’t react perfectly to the overall market volatility. It should only be used as a secondary confirmation in your trading/trend analysis.
For more signals with earlier entries, go into settings and reduce the number. 10-100 is best for scalping. For less signals with later entries, change the number to a higher value. Use 100-500 for swing trades. Can go higher for long swing trades. Our favorite settings are 20, 60, 100, 500 and 1000.
***MARKETS***
This indicator should only be used on the US stock markets as signals are given based on the VIX volatility index which measures volatility of the US Stock Markets.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This indicator works on all time frames, but after hours will not change much at all due to the markets being closed.
**INVERSE CHARTS**
If you are using this on an inverse ETF and the signals are showing backwards, please comment with what chart it is and I will configure the indicator to give the correct signals. I have included over 50 inverse ETFs into the code to show the correct signals on inverse charts, but I'm sure there are some that I have missed so feel free to let me know and I will update the script with the requested tickers.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile with buy & sell pressure, Auto Support And Resistance, Vix Scalper and Money Flow Index in combination with this Vix Trend Analysis. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Ghosty's Modded Super Bandpass Filter [DasanC]Very cool Indicator from Ehlers and published originally by @DasanC
I made minor modifications, and added a zero line and changed some values. I use this indicator differently then it is intended to be used for scalping shorter time frames (15 min - 1 hour).
I use it like a cross over, either from the zeroline or when it passes the RMS, for 5-10 pips. While no indicator is 100% this one does a nice job for small scalps.
try it out on a demo and see if you like it.
enjoy.

Global Sessions & Kill Zones [jpkxyz]Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones Indicator
Overview
The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify and visualize the most critical time periods in the 24-hour forex and futures markets. This indicator combines traditional trading session analysis with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Kill Zone methodology, providing traders with a complete picture of when institutional activity and liquidity are at their peak.
Trading Theory & Foundation
Session-Based Trading
The forex market operates 24 hours a day across four major trading sessions: Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. Each session has distinct characteristics in terms of volatility, liquidity, and price behavior. Understanding these sessions is crucial because:
Volatility Patterns: Each session exhibits unique volatility profiles based on which markets are open and which institutional players are active
Liquidity Concentration: Major price movements tend to occur when multiple sessions overlap, as more market participants are active simultaneously
Market Structure: Session highs and lows often act as key support and resistance levels that price respects throughout the trading day
Time-Based Strategies: Many professional traders structure their strategies around specific sessions that align with their preferred instruments and trading style
ICT Kill Zones
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology emphasizes specific time windows called "Kill Zones" - periods when institutional algorithms and smart money are most active. These time windows represent optimal trading opportunities because:
Institutional Activity: Banks, hedge funds, and large institutions execute their orders during these predictable time windows
Algorithmic Trading: Many institutional algorithms are programmed to operate during these specific periods
Liquidity Sweeps: Kill Zones often feature stop hunts and liquidity grabs before directional moves
Higher Probability Setups: Price is more likely to respect technical levels and follow through on setups during these periods
The four ICT Kill Zones are:
Asian Kill Zone (00:00-03:00 UTC): Early Asian session institutional activity
London Kill Zone (07:00-10:00 UTC): London open and European institutional entry
New York Kill Zone (12:00-14:00 UTC): New York open and North American institutional entry
London Close Kill Zone (15:00-17:00 UTC): European session close and position squaring
What This Indicator Visualizes
Trading Session Boxes
The indicator draws high-to-low range boxes for each major trading session:
Sydney Session (21:00-06:00 UTC): Captures the Australian and early Asian trading activity
Tokyo Session (00:00-09:00 UTC): Represents the main Asian trading period
London Session (08:00-17:00 UTC): Covers the European trading hours
New York Session (13:00-22:00 UTC): Encompasses North American trading activity
Each session box displays:
The session's high and low price levels
Customizable colored borders and fills
Labels showing the exact high and low values
Real-time updates as price moves within the active session
Session Overlaps
The indicator automatically identifies and highlights all session overlaps with distinct colored boxes:
Sydney/Tokyo Overlap: Asian liquidity concentration
Tokyo/London Overlap: Asian-European transition period
London/New York Overlap: The most volatile period with maximum liquidity
Sydney/New York Overlap: Late US session into early Asian session
These overlaps are crucial because they represent periods of increased liquidity when multiple major markets are operating simultaneously, often leading to significant price movements and breakouts.
ICT Kill Zones
Kill Zones are displayed as vertical background highlights that span the entire chart height during their active periods:
Visual clarity: Semi-transparent colored backgrounds that don't obstruct price action
Label identification: Each Kill Zone is labeled at its start for easy recognition
Overlay capability: Kill Zones overlay on top of session boxes, allowing you to see both simultaneously
Independent control: Each Kill Zone can be toggled on/off individually
How Traders Can Use This Indicator
Entry Timing
Wait for Kill Zones: Use Kill Zones as your primary trading windows to increase the probability of institutional support for your trades
Session Boundaries: Look for breakouts or reversals at session open/close times when new participants enter the market
Overlap Periods: Focus on high-conviction setups during session overlaps when liquidity is highest
Support & Resistance
Session Highs/Lows: Previous session highs and lows often act as key support/resistance levels
Sweep Setups: Watch for price to sweep session highs/lows during Kill Zones, then reverse (liquidity grab)
Range Trading: Trade within session ranges during low-volatility periods, breakout during overlaps
Risk Management
Volatility Awareness: Adjust position sizing based on which session is active (London/NY overlap = highest volatility)
Stop Placement: Position stops outside of key session levels to avoid being caught in normal intraday ranges
Time-Based Exits: Consider exiting or tightening stops as sessions close and liquidity decreases
Strategy Development
Session-Specific Strategies: Develop different approaches for different sessions based on your instrument's behavior
Kill Zone Confirmation: Require setups to occur within Kill Zones for higher probability trades
Backtesting Framework: Use historical session and Kill Zone data to backtest time-based strategies
Full Customizability
Session Customization
Every aspect of each trading session can be customized:
Toggle Visibility: Show/hide any session independently
Time Adjustment: Modify start and end hours to match your broker's server time or personal preference
Color Schemes: Customize box colors and border colors for each session
Transparency: Adjust fill transparency to see price action clearly while maintaining visual reference
Kill Zone Customization
Complete control over ICT Kill Zone display:
Individual Toggles: Enable or disable each Kill Zone independently based on your trading style
Color Selection: Choose distinct colors for each Kill Zone (default: Green, Blue, Yellow, Red)
Transparency Control: All Kill Zones use 70% transparency by default, fully customizable
Label Display: Toggle Kill Zone labels on/off via the main label settings
Visual Preferences
Border Control: Toggle session box borders on/off for cleaner charts
Label Size: Choose from tiny, small, normal, large, huge, or auto-sizing for all labels
Label Colors: Customize label background and text colors to match your chart theme
Box Transparency: Set individual transparency levels for each session and overlap
Overlap Customization
All four session overlaps have independent color controls:
Sydney/Tokyo Overlap
Tokyo/London Overlap
London/New York Overlap
Sydney/New York Overlap
Technical Features
Midnight Handling
The indicator uses advanced hour-based detection that seamlessly handles sessions crossing midnight (like Sydney's 21:00-06:00 UTC timeframe) without breaking the visualization into separate boxes.
Real-Time Updates
Active Sessions: Boxes extend and update in real-time as price moves during active sessions
High/Low Tracking: Session highs and lows are continuously updated until the session closes
Kill Zone Detection: Background colors appear/disappear precisely at Kill Zone boundaries
Clean Chart Integration
Minimal Clutter: Only shows active and recently completed sessions
Overlay Friendly: Works seamlessly with other indicators and doesn't obstruct price action
Performance Optimized: Efficient code that doesn't slow down chart rendering
Ideal For
Forex Traders: Track the four major forex sessions and plan trades around overlaps
Futures Traders: Identify when specific futures markets have peak activity
ICT Students: Implement Inner Circle Trader concepts with visual Kill Zone references
Session Traders: Build strategies around specific session characteristics
Scalpers & Day Traders: Focus on high-liquidity periods for tighter spreads and better fills
Swing Traders: Use session levels as key support/resistance for multi-day trades
Best Practices
Start Simple: Enable only the sessions and Kill Zones relevant to your instruments
Color Code Strategically: Use colors that stand out on your chart theme but don't overwhelm
Combine with Price Action: Use session levels and Kill Zones as context, not as standalone signals
Match Your Timezone: Adjust session times if your broker uses non-UTC server time
Focus on Overlaps: Pay special attention to London/New York overlap for highest-probability setups
Journal Performance: Track which sessions and Kill Zones work best for your strategy
Conclusion
The Global Sessions & ICT Kill Zones indicator provides traders with institutional-grade time-based analysis in a highly customizable, visually clear format. By combining traditional session analysis with modern ICT Kill Zone theory, traders gain a comprehensive understanding of when markets are most likely to move and where key levels are established. Whether you're a scalper looking for the highest liquidity periods or a swing trader using session levels for support/resistance, this indicator adapts to your needs while keeping your charts clean and professional.
Trade smarter by trading when the market is most active and predictable.
Pivot Points Detector - ATR basedThis pivot points detector is a precision-tuned momentum and structural pivot detector designed specifically for high-frequency scalpers (like those trading ES or NQ on the 15-second timeframe).
By combining dynamic volatility filters with structural displacement requirements, it isolates high-conviction reversal points while filtering out the "noise" of lower-timeframe chop.
How It Works
This indicator utilizes a three-gate logic system to ensure that only the most significant market turns are highlighted:
Gate 1: The ATR Momentum Break
The system monitors an ATR (12 / 2.0) trailing stop. A potential pivot is only identified when the price successfully closes across this volatility line, proving that immediate momentum has shifted.
Gate 2: Absolute Structural Anchor
Once a trend change is triggered, the indicator performs a 60-bar retrospective scan (approximately 15 minutes of data) to identify the absolute Highest High or Lowest Low that initiated the move. This pins the marker to the "Source" of the trend rather than the signal bar itself.
Gate 3: The Persistence Proof (Faded vs. Solid)
To prevent "fake outs," the indicator uses a unique faded logic:
Faded Triangle: Appears instantly at the pivot source as a "potential" setup.
12-Tick Run: The triangle only turns Solid if the price travels 12 ticks from that absolute pivot without crossing back over the ATR trail.
Auto-Deletion: If the momentum fails and the ATR trail is breached before the 12-tick target is hit, the faded triangle is automatically wiped from the chart.
Key Features
Clean Visuals: Triangles are printed with a 2-tick offset from the candle wicks for maximum readability.
Label Memory Management: The script maintains a history of the last 200 triangles, ensuring performance stability during long trading sessions.
Fully Customizable: Users can adjust the ATR multiplier, the structural lookback window, the tick-confirmation target, and all visual colors directly from the settings menu.
Trend-Change Focus: Unlike standard Zig-Zags that repainting or mark every wiggle, this tool only prints a marker when a formal ATR trend flip occurs.
Best Use Case: This tool is built for the scalper who needs a reliable "Hard Level" for stop-loss management and re-entry identification. When a triangle turns Solid, it represents a verified structural floor or ceiling that has shown displacement strength.
Apex Wallet - Real-Time Market Volume Delta & Order FlowOverview The Apex Wallet Market Volume Delta is a professional liquidity analysis tool designed to decode the internal structure of market volume. Unlike standard volume bars, this script calculates the "Delta"—the net difference between buying and selling pressure—to reveal the true conviction of market participants in real-time.
Dynamic Multi-Mode Intelligence This indicator features an adaptive calculation engine that recalibrates its internal logic based on your trading style:
Scalping: Fast-response settings (9-period MA) for immediate execution on low timeframes.
Day-Trading: Balanced settings (26-period MA) optimized for intraday sessions.
Swing-Trading: High-filter settings (52-period MA) for major trend confirmation.
Advanced Order Flow Detection
Real-Time Delta Calculation: Tracks the precise interaction between price and volume to identify aggressive buyers vs. passive sellers.
Dual Calculation Modes: Choose between "Buy/Sell" (aggressive) or "Buy/Sell/Neutral" for a more granular view of flat market periods.
Visual Delta Labels: Displays the net volume values directly above each bar, with color-coded alerts (Green for Bullish Delta, Red for Bearish Delta).
Scalable UI: Features a "Scale Down Factor" to simplify large volume numbers into readable units (10/100/1k/10k).
Key Features:
Visual Split: Clearly differentiates historical volume from real-time buying and selling flows.
Trend Confirmation: Integrated optional EMA to compare current volume surges against the average market liquidity.
Clean Interface: Professional-grade histogram styling with clear demarcation of session activity.
Apex Wallet - Adaptive Commodity Channel Index (CCI) & HTF TrendOverview The Apex Wallet Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a professional-grade momentum oscillator designed to identify cyclical trends and overbought/oversold conditions with an integrated trend-filtering engine. This script enhances the classic CCI by adding multi-timeframe trend analysis and adaptive calculation modes.
Adaptive Trading Presets The indicator automatically recalibrates its internal periods based on your selected Trading Mode:
Scalping: Uses fast-response settings (CCI 14, Signal 6, Trend 50) for lower timeframes.
Day Trading: Standard balanced settings (CCI 20, Signal 9, Trend 100).
Swing: Long-term filters (CCI 34, Signal 14, Trend 200) to capture major market waves.
Key Features:
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Trend Bias: Optional background shading based on a customizable Higher Timeframe (e.g., 1H trend while trading on 5m) to ensure you always trade in the direction of the "Big Picture".
Market Trend Coloring: The CCI Signal line dynamically changes color (Green/Red/Gray) based on local market momentum relative to its moving average.
Visual Clarity: Features standard CCI level bands (+100, 0, -100) with professional aesthetics for easy reading.
How to Use:
Select your preferred Trading Mode in the settings.
Enable HTF Background to visualize the dominant trend from a higher timeframe.
Look for CCI crosses or signal line color changes while the background confirms the overall market bias.
