The SamuraiOverview
This strategy implements a session-based range breakout system specifically designed for GBP/JPY trading. The approach focuses on identifying key price ranges during specific market sessions and trading breakouts of these ranges during optimal trading windows. The strategy combines multi-timeframe analysis using 30-minute data with precise session timing to capture high-probability breakout moves.
Entry Logic
The strategy operates on a two-phase approach:
Range Collection Phase:
Monitors price action during a specified session window
Identifies session high and low levels
Only collects ranges on selected trading days
Trading Phase:
Long Entry: Price closes above the established session high
Short Entry: Price closes below the established session low
Entries only occur on valid trading days (day after range collection)
One trade per direction per session to prevent overtrading
Exit Conditions
Stop Loss: Set at a percentage of the session range below entry (long) or above entry (short)
Take Profit: Calculated using a Risk-Reward Ratio based on stop loss distance
Session Close: All positions are closed at the end of the trading window
Risk Management Features
Fixed risk-reward ratio of for consistent risk management
Stop loss calculated as percentage of session range for adaptive sizing
Visual risk/reward boxes display potential outcomes before entry
Daily session close protection prevents overnight exposure
Visual Features
Customizable Colors: Full control over line colors, styles, and box opacities
Risk/Reward Visualization: Color-coded boxes showing potential profit and loss zones
Take Profit Lines: TP level with different line styles for clarity
Stop Loss Line: Clear visual indication of risk level
Clean Interface: Streamlined settings focused on essential visual customization
Important Notes
Timeframe Dependency: Strategy uses 30-minute data regardless of chart timeframe for consistency
Session Timing: All times are in UTC - ensure proper timezone conversion for your location
Trading Days: Default setup trades Tuesday-Friday ranges (Monday-Thursday collection)
Single Position: Only one position per direction per session to maintain discipline
No Pyramiding: Strategy prevents position averaging to maintain clear risk parameters
Suggested Use
Recommended Pairs: Optimized for GBP/JPY but may work on other volatile pairs
Best Timeframes: Display on any timeframe (strategy uses 30m data internally)
Session Awareness: Most effective during high-volatility session transitions
Risk Management: Consider position sizing based on account risk tolerance

Stockraft HFT Candles⚡ HFT Candle Indicator
🧠 What Are HFT Candles?
HFT (High-Frequency Trading) candles are sharp, fast price movements often created by large algorithmic orders. These candles typically:
Break key highs/lows or liquidity zones
Quickly reverse, trapping retail traders on the wrong side
Signal manipulation or smart money activity
✅ How to Use the Indicator
Spot Liquidity Sweeps
When a candle pierces above recent highs or below recent lows and gets marked by this indicator, it's likely an HFT candle.
These candles usually act as liquidity grabs — not genuine breakouts.
Wait for Rejection or Confirmation
Do not enter immediately.
Wait for the next candle to show rejection (e.g., pin bar, engulfing) or close back within the previous range.
Trade in the Opposite Direction
HFT candles often trap traders chasing breakouts.
Look to trade in the opposite direction of the HFT candle after confirmation.
Example: If the candle breaks a high and reverses → look for a short.
If it breaks a low and reverses → look for a long.
Best Used With Zones
Works best near:
Support/Resistance
Supply/Demand Zones
Session Highs/Lows
News-induced spikes
🎯 Purpose
This indicator helps you:
Avoid false breakouts
Understand smart money behavior
Time entries around liquidity grabs
Increase win-rate by trading reversals after traps
Liquidity Grab Detector (Stop Hunt Sniper) v2.2📌 Purpose
This indicator detects Stop Hunts (Liquidity Grabs) — false breakouts above/below recent highs or lows — filtered by trend direction, volatility, and volume conditions.
It is designed for scalpers and intraday traders who want to identify high-probability reversal zones.
🧠 How It Works
1. Key Logic
Detects previous swing high / swing low over the Lookback Bars.
Marks a false breakout when price moves beyond the level and closes back inside.
Requires a volume spike on the breakout to confirm liquidity sweep.
2. Trend Filter (EMA 50)
Bullish signals only if price is above EMA 50.
Bearish signals only if price is below EMA 50.
This removes most counter-trend stop hunts.
3. ADX Filter
Signals appear only when ADX < Max ADX (low-trend conditions).
This avoids false signals in strong trending markets.
📈 How to Use
Green Arrows: Bullish stop hunt (potential long entry).
Red Arrows: Bearish stop hunt (potential short entry).
Works best in range conditions, liquidity zones, or near session highs/lows.
Combine with order flow, volume profile, or price action for extra confirmation.
Recommended Timeframes: 1m–15m for scalping; 30m–1h for intraday.
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Indices.
⚙️ Inputs
Lookback Bars — swing detection
Volume Spike Multiplier
EMA Length (trend filter)
Min Retrace — how much price must return inside range
Max ADX — trend filter sensitivity

Slope Based Divergences of Wavelet - (Multi-Length, Dual Price)
1. Summary
This is not a typical divergence indicator. Instead of comparing simple peaks and troughs in price and an oscillator, the Slope-Based Divergence Engine performs a far more rigorous analysis by measuring the rate of change (slope) itself.
It identifies high-probability divergence opportunities by detecting moments when price is accelerating strongly in one direction while the underlying momentum, measured by a sophisticated Scientific Wavelet Oscillator, is accelerating in the opposite direction. By requiring confirmation from two different price sources (high and low) and across multiple timeframes, it aims to filter out noise and pinpoint only the most potent moments of market exhaustion.
2. The Core Innovation: Why Slope?
Traditional divergence indicators look at levels (e.g., price made a higher high, RSI made a lower high). This script looks at momentum's momentum.
Traditional Method: "Price went up, but momentum went down."
This Script's Method: "Price is accelerating upwards faster than ever, but momentum is decelerating faster than ever."
By focusing on the slope, the indicator identifies points of maximum stress and disagreement in the market, which often precede sharp reversals.
3. Key Components & Logic
The script's power comes from its multi-layered filtering system:
Scientific Wavelet Oscillator: The indicator's engine is a custom oscillator built using a Haar Wavelet Transform. Unlike standard oscillators (like RSI or Stochastics) that use a single period, this one analyzes the price across multiple different time scales (or "octaves") simultaneously. It then fuses this information into a single, robust momentum reading that is normalized using a statistical Z-score.
Multi-Length Average Slope: The script doesn't just calculate a single slope. It calculates the slope across a range of lookback periods (e.g., from 1 to 30 bars) and then averages them. This creates a much smoother and more reliable measure of the trend's current velocity, filtering out the noise from any single period.
Dual Price Confirmation: To qualify a price trend, the script requires that the slope of two separate price sources (by default, high and low) are both in agreement. For a bearish divergence, the slopes of both the session high and low must be accelerating upwards aggressively. This ensures the entire price bar is participating in the move and avoids false signals from wicks or narrow ranges.
Multi-Timeframe Percent Rank: The script uses percentrank to normalize the calculated slopes, putting them on a scale of 0 to 100. This allows it to identify statistically extreme readings. A divergence is only confirmed if it meets the criteria on both a Long-Term (LL) and Short-Term (LS) lookback. This ensures the signal is not just a momentary fluke but is a valid point of exhaustion in both the immediate and broader context.
4. How to Interpret the Signals
The indicator plots simple labels on the chart when all conditions are met:
Green "Bull" Label (Bullish Divergence): Appears when:
The slopes of both high and low are accelerating downwards (in the bottom 8% of their historical readings for both long and short lookbacks).
Simultaneously, the slope of the wavelet oscillator is accelerating upwards (in the top 92% of its historical readings).
Meaning: Price is in a state of free-fall, but the underlying momentum is aggressively turning up. This signals that selling pressure is likely exhausted.
Red "Bear" Label (Bearish Divergence): Appears when:
The slopes of both high and low are accelerating upwards (in the top 92% of their historical readings).
Simultaneously, the slope of the wavelet oscillator is accelerating downwards (in the bottom 8% of its historical readings).
Meaning: Price is in a state of extreme ascent (a "blow-off top"), but the underlying momentum is collapsing. This signals that buying pressure is likely exhausted.
5. How to Use in Trading
Reversal Signals: The labels should be treated as high-probability signals that a trend is exhausted and a reversal or significant pullback is imminent.
Confirmation Tool: Do not use the labels as standalone entry signals. Always seek confirmation from other forms of analysis, such as a break of a trendline, a key support/resistance level holding, or a classic candlestick reversal pattern.
Exit Signals: A bearish divergence label can serve as a powerful signal to take profit on long positions, and a bullish label can be a signal to cover shorts.

SwingArm ATR Trend (Blackflag FTS) + HTF Zones & Trail📐 SwingArm ATR Trend + HTF Zones | Blackflag FTS Concept
A precision-engineered volatility mapping and trend-trailing system inspired by the Blackflag FTS / SwingArm ATR methodology — now enhanced with multi-timeframe confluence, adaptive ATR zones, and Fibonacci-level support/resistance architecture.
Designed for trend traders, scalpers, and swing specialists, this tool visually defines where price is likely to pivot, trend, or exhaust — based entirely on structure and volatility, not lagging signals.
🧩 Core Logic
🔹 Adaptive Swing Zones (Current TF)
Built using Fibonacci-scaled ATR offsets from a dynamic midline (the average of the session high/low), these zones evolve with price structure:
Zone +1 / -1: Primary volatility boundaries — breakout or pullback zones.
Zone +2 / -2: Extended moves — high-momentum areas.
Zone +3 / -3: Exhaustion zones — potential reversal or take-profit areas.
Color shifts dynamically based on directional bias (bullish/bearish).
🟨 Trailing Stop (Current TF)
An adaptive trailing stopline that follows trend shifts using midline ± ATR logic.
Acts as a bias filter and exit manager.
Color-coded for clarity.
Flips based on price’s relationship to the trail.
🔶 Higher Timeframe Zones (HTF Overlay)
Optional overlay that mirrors the full structure — zones + trailing stop — from a higher timeframe of your choice.
Perfect for:
Validating local moves against macro context.
Spotting higher-timeframe traps or confluence breakouts.
🛠️ Settings & Customization
ATR Period — default is 14, but adaptable to asset volatility.
Source — usually close, but adjustable for experimentation.
Show/Hide Toggles — independently control visibility for:
Current TF zones & trail
HTF overlay
Zone Colors — full control for bullish/bearish bias on both timeframes.
Line Widths — customize to fit any chart style or background.
🎯 Real-World Trade Examples
📈 Long Trend + Pullback
Price breaks through Zone +1 with momentum.
Trail flips bullish; price holds above it.
HTF trail and zones are also bullish.
Entry: On retracement to the trail or Zone +1.
Exit: At Zone +2 or a trail break.
📉 Short Reversal
Price rejects Zone +2 with bearish candle.
Trail flips to bearish shortly after.
HTF trail confirms downtrend.
Entry: On retest of Zone +1 or failed bounce at trail.
Exit: At Zone -1/-2 or upon trail break.
🔁 Range or Fade Play
In low-trend conditions, Zones +2/-2 act as mean-reversion pivot points.
Scalp entries can be taken with tight stops near those extremes.
Avoid during clear HTF directional bias.
🧠 Trading Tips
Trend + Structure + Volatility = edge.
Let zones act as your pre-defined decision map.
Use the HTF layer to validate or fade local setups.
Great in combination with:
Price action or liquidity maps
Volume profile / OBV
Oscillators for entry timing
✅ Summary
This indicator helps you:
Stay in trends longer with smart trailing logic.
Know exactly where volatility could expand or exhaust.
Align entries with multi-timeframe structure.
Visually separate trending from ranging conditions.
It's an educational idea, and it doesn’t predict the future — it frames it with objective volatility zones so you can trade with clarity and confidence.
Regards!

Autofib Extensions | DTDHello trader comuunity!
I'm introducing another script that is part of my main day-trading strategy. We all know regardless of what strategy we use, we need to know what levels offer the least amount of risk to our trade entry and a great tool to anticipate how far a move might go or what level a move may retrace to are the Fibonacci Retracement and Extensions. This indicator combines both together, but with a twist.
The main elements of the script are:
1. Multiple Session High and Lows | Developing my first script led me to understand that measuring key times during each session provides understanding of the market's continuity. I have provided 3 "sessions' a user can define according to CST time where the script saves the high and low of that session window to produce the retracement and extensions from those plots. Currently, the levels are always plotted from low to high (with the 0 mark being the high) and negative values provided so the levels are consistent. You can toggle each session on or off.
2. Coloring Key Retracements / Extensions | I use a dark background for my charts so the default colors help me distinguish from other another indicator I use. Feel free to adjust the colors to your preference. I consider 3 different colors because of their significance. Retracements that you want to see continue fall back into the .50 to .618 level (this I consider the "Golden Zone"). While basic Elliott Wave Theory states a wave is completed near the 1.618 level (this I consider "Major Extensions"). Everything isn't noise, but minor levels in a larger sequence.
______________
Script Limitations
All of my scripts are made with the help of ChatGPT so there are going to be limitations. One current one that I have made progress on, but not fully is when you are viewing a timeframe where the candle doesn't start when a session window starts. On smaller timeframes like the 7-minute this is not an issue. However, on the hourly, if your session window starts at the half hour which the 3rd session default window does, the lines will not produce. I will hopefully have this rectified in the near future. I will open the script since none of this work is original in nature and I would love to see how others can create a better product. Also, this is mainly a futures trading tool. If you are using this on stocks you will find it not as useful if the session window is too wide since the script waits until the session window closes to calculate the extension values.
Cheers,
DTD
Gold Scalping BOS & CHoCHThis strategy is designed for scalping gold (XAU/USD) on the 3-minute timeframe, utilizing Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) to identify high-probability trade setups. Unlike traditional SMA crossover strategies, this method focuses purely on price action and market structure shifts, allowing for early entries and better risk management.
Core Concepts:
Break of Structure (BOS) – Confirms a continuation of the trend when price breaks the last swing high (bullish) or last swing low (bearish).
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Detects possible trend reversals by identifying a shift in market momentum.
Dynamic Support & Resistance – Uses the last 10-bar highs and lows to determine adaptive stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio (1:2 RR) – Ensures trades are executed with a favorable risk/reward ratio.
Entry Conditions:
Buy Entry:
BOS (Bullish) confirmed (price breaks the previous swing high).
CHoCH (Bullish) confirms trend shift.
Price crosses back above the last swing low (confirmation of support).
Sell Entry:
BOS (Bearish) confirmed (price breaks the previous swing low).
CHoCH (Bearish) confirms trend shift.
Price crosses back below the last swing high (confirmation of resistance).
Exit Conditions:
Stop Loss (SL): Set at the most recent dynamic support (for buys) or resistance (for sells).
Take Profit (TP): 2x the risk (1:2 risk-reward ratio).
Advantages of This Strategy:
✅ No lagging indicators – Uses price action for real-time entries.
✅ High probability setups – Focuses only on strong structural breaks.
✅ Adaptive SL/TP – Uses real market structure instead of fixed values.
✅ Optimized for Scalping – Best suited for quick in-and-out trades.
Best Time to Trade:
🔹 London & New York Sessions (High volatility for gold).

This script does not calculate any stats.
It uses the sessions and stats from NQStats/ALNSessions
Option to draw boxes around the session times.
Options to adjust the table text/background colors/position.
The logic will determine how the Asia and London sessions interact.
Once the New York session starts (8am), it will then display the appropriate stats.
Script quirk...fyi. The script removes the stats table at 6PM.
That's just how it works. I used grok to assist with the code, and it got funky. It works, so I left it that way.
The appropriate stats table will then be displayed when the next New York session begins.

There is another table I used just for troubleshooting to show the values of the Asia/London session highs/lows. This can just be ignored.

Market Session Times
Inputs
The inputs tab consists of timezone adjustment which would be the chosen timezone for the plotting of the market sessions based on the market timings.
Further it contains settings for each box to show/hide and change box colour and timings for Asian, London and New York Sessions.
How it works
The indicator primarily works by marking the session highs and lows for the chosen time in the inputs, each of the sessions can be input a custom time value which would plot the box. It helps to identify the important price levels and the trading range for each individual session.
The midpoint of each session is marked with a dashed line. The indicator also marks a developing session while it being formed as well to identify potential secondary levels.
Usage
It can be used to trade session breakouts, false breaks and also divide the daily movement into parts and identify possible patterns while trading.
2. Volumes
Inputs
The volume part has 2 inputs - Smoothing and Normalisation. The smoothing period can simply be used to take in charge volumes of last X bars and normalisation can be used for calculating relative volumes based on last Y bars.
How it works
The indicator takes into account the buy and sell volumes of last X bars and then displays that as a relative smoothed volume which helps to identify longer term build or distribution of volume. It plots the positive volume from 0 to 100 and negative volume from 0 to -100 which has been normalised. The colors identify gradual increase or decrease in volumes
Usage
It can also be used to trade volume spikes well and can identify potential market shifts
REBUX - 1m NY Opening Session Stock Trader w/alerts & SignalsREBUX - 1m NY Opening Session Stock Trader w/alerts & Signals
This closed-source indicator is designed to trade the volatile New York opening session on a 1-minute chart, offering traders a unique approach to scalping high-probability opportunities. What sets this script apart is its ability to dynamically detect key price ranges in real-time, then apply a percentage-based offset for precise trade entries, along with an automatic take-profit calculation based on the session’s volatility.
How It Works: The script monitors the first few minutes of the New York session to define a price range based on the session high and low. It then calculates entry levels using customizable percentage offsets. When the price crosses above or below these levels, the script triggers alerts for potential buy (LONG) or sell (SHORT) entries. Additionally, the script implements a take-profit level based on a percentage of the detected price range, automatically adjusting as volatility changes.
Key features include:
Customizable timing: Traders can configure the number of minutes after the session open to define the price range and when to stop trading for the day.
Dynamic price offsets: Entry points are calculated based on percentage offsets from the session’s range, ensuring flexibility in volatile markets.
Visual aids and alerts: The script plots visual labels on the chart for LONG and SHORT signals, and provides take-profit exit points, helping traders make informed decisions.
Originality and Usefulness: Unlike many open-source scalping scripts that rely on static strategies or traditional indicators, this script uses a session-specific approach, adapting to real-time price action and volatility. Its focus on the high-impact New York open and integration of automatic TP calculations make it an effective and unique tool for day traders who need to react quickly to market movements.
This script is particularly useful for traders who want to capitalize on the sharp price movements that occur at the NY session open, providing actionable alerts and visual signals to streamline the trading process.
ICT KillZones Hunt [TradingFinder] 4 Sessions + OB + FVG + Alert🔵 Introduction
🟣 ICT
The "ICT" style is a subset of "Price Action" technical analysis. The primary goal of the ICT trading strategy is to merge "Price Action" with the "Smart Money" concept to pinpoint optimal trade entry points.
However, this approach's strength extends beyond merely finding entry points. It also helps traders gain a deeper understanding of price behavior and adapt their trading strategies to the market structure.
The most important concepts of "ICT" :
Order Block
Fair Value Gap(FVG)
Liquidity
🟣 Session
Financial markets are divided into several time periods, each featuring distinct characteristics and levels of activity. These periods, known as sessions, are active at different times during the day.
The primary active sessions in financial markets include :
Asian Session
European Session
New York Session
Based on the UTC time zone, the schedule for these key sessions is :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid session overlap and minimize interference during kill zones, the session times have been modified as follows :
Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🟣 KillZone
Kill zones are periods within a session where trader activity spikes. During these times, trading volume surges, and price movements become more pronounced.
The major kill zones, according to the UTC time zone, are as follows :
Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Order Block
Order blocks are a distinct category of "Supply and Demand" zones, formed when a series of orders are grouped together. These blocks are often created by banks or other significant market participants.
Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market with small quantities, substantial price movements would occur before the orders were fully executed, reducing potential profit.
To mitigate this, they divide their orders into smaller, more manageable positions. Traders should seek "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks."
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, meticulous candle-by-candle analysis is essential. Pay close attention to candles with significant bodies, examining each candle alongside the one preceding it.
The candles flanking this central candle should exhibit elongated shadows, with bodies that do not intersect the body of the central candle. The span between the shadows of the first and third candles is referred to as the FVG range.
Note :
The origin of all Order Blocks and FVGs starts from inside a kill zone and extends up to the end of the same session.
🟣 Kill Zone Hunt
Following this strategy, after the conclusion of the kill zone and the stabilization of its high and low lines, if the price touches either of these lines within the same session and encounters a robust rejection, it presents an opportunity to enter a trade.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
This indicator is provided as a tool for traders and should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Always conduct your own research and consider your risk tolerance before entering any trades.
Daily Gaps & Trapped PositionsThis script builds substantially upon the default Gaps script provided by Tradingview. Functionality was added to allow users to decide what price from the previous session is used to determine a daily gap, added support for showing gaps across all timeframes up to the daily time frame, and also allow gaps to be shown even with ETH enabled on the chart. This script provides support across normal securities, futures, and also crypto.
Users can decide between the following selections to determine if a daily gap has formed:
- Previous Session Close
- Previous Session High/Low
- Last RTH Candle High/Low
The other larger piece that was added is something called trapped positions or what some folks familiar with Market Profile would call "single prints". They could also be considered FVGs but they are a specific subset of FVGs as these must from above or below the current session's high/low.
Single prints form above or below a current session's high/low and can be considered an area where price has moved too fast in that area and price will most likely return to these areas at a later point in time. In some teachings, these are also looked at as "trapped shorts" (lighter blue box color) or "trapped supply" (yellow orange box color) which creates an area where there will be potential support (trapped shorts) or resistance (trapped supply) when this area is revisited in the future. Adding these to your chart will simply provide additional areas of interest where you may see buying or selling.
Both gaps and trapped positions have the following options:
- Show only active gaps/trapped positions. Selecting this will only show areas where price has not completely traded through the box.
- Close gaps/trapped positions partially. If this is selected, it will reduce the box size as price is traded through the area. If it is not selected, the box will only disappear once price has traded through the entire box completely.
There are some additional settings that allow you to tailor how many boxes show up on the chart. These settings are as follows:
- Max number of boxes. This setting will only plot up to this number of gaps/trapped positions.
- Minimum Deviation. This will prevent gaps/trapped positions from showing if they are too small relative to average across that last 14 periods.
- Limit Max Box Trail Length (bars). If checkbox is selected, the box will stop being extended after X number of bars given in this input.
Market Sessions - By LeviathanA simple indicator to help you keep track of 4 market sessions (default: Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney) in 4 different visual forms (boxes, timeline, zones, colored candles) with many other useful tools.
You can choose between 4 different market sessions. The default ones are Tokyo, London, New York and Sydney but you can easily customize the times, names and colors to make the script plot any session you need. Sessions can be viewed in 4 different ways: boxes, zones, timelines, or just colored candles, all with customizable appearances. You can make your chart cleaner by merging sessions overlaps, choosing a custom lookback period and also picking between various additional settings such as viewing session High/Low or Open/Close change in % or pips, hiding weekends, viewing the Open/Close Line to identify session’s direction and 0.5 level to see session’s “Equilibrium” and much more. More updates with interesting tools will be added in the future.
Note: The script will plot the correct default Tokyo, London, New York and Sydney sessions automatically, your chart/Tradingview app timezone does not matter! If you wish to tweak the open/close times of sessions, just make sure you input them in UTC (but even this can be changed later in the settings)
Settings Overview

ADDITIONAL TOOLS AND SETTINGS
1. “Change (Pips)” - this will add the pip distance between Session High and Session Low or the pip distance between Session Open and Session Close to the session label.
2. “Change (%)” - this will add the percentage distance between Session High and Session Low or the percentage distance between Session Open and Session Close to the session label.
3. “Merge Overlaps” - this will merge the overlapping sessions and show only one at a time (end of Tokyo is moved to start of London, the end of London is moved to the start of New York, end of New York is moved to start of Sydney and end of Sydney is moved to start of Tokyo).
4. “Hide Weekends” - this will prevent the script from plotting sessions over the weekend when the markets are closed.
5. “Open/Close Line” - this will draw a line from the session open to the session close (or current price, if session is ongoing).
6. “Session 0.5 Level” - this will draw a horizontal line halfway between the session’s high and the session’s low.
7. “Color Candles” - this will color the bars/candlesticks with the color of the session in which they occurred.
8. Display Type” - Choose between three different ways of session visualization (Boxes, Zones and Candles).
9. “Lookback (Days)” - this input tells the script to only draw sessions for X days back (1 = one day).
10. “Change (%/Pips) Source) - this is where you choose the source of “Change (Pips)” and ”Change (%) ” labels. Picking “Session High/Low” will show you the change between Session High and Session Low and picking “Session Open/Close” will show you the change between Session Open and Session Close.
11. “Input Timezone” - this defines the timezone of the session start/end inputs (you don’t have to change this unless you know what you’re doing)
Make sure to read future update logs to keep track of the most recent additions and settings of this script.

HOLP LOHP PivotCOINBASE:BTCUSD
HOLP and LOHP based on John Carter's Mastering the Trade.
HOLP stands for High Of the Low Period
LOHP stands for Low Of the High Period
This indicator is based on John Carter’s HOLP and LOHP from Mastering the Trade. The basic idea is to identify the session high and mark the low of the session high for a short entry, and vice versa for a long entry.
The default look back period is set to 10 here, albeit John Carter didn’t specify a hard coded number but rather the use of experience and common sense.
Option to turn on labels of the highs and lows of the pivots.

AVWAP + ORBS:
The Opening Range Breakout system builds off of our recommended 15min opening range and does all of your price target calculations based on the width of the opening range. These targets are fully customizable within the settings,
to allow fine-tuning from ticker to ticker. We have programmed three Anchored vwaps at different time intervals to act as a dynamic trend-finding instrument. These, along with the opening range breakout system, can help you quickly spot the day's trend and dynamic support and resistance long before your standard moving averages have caught up with price intraday.
Average Daily Range Zones:
We believe these zones to be essential to trading, especially with our system. These zones tend to act as areas of major support and resistance as well as give an idea of the projected volatility of the underlying.
Market Momentum Trend Detection:
We paint our momentum analysis directly on your candles. By taking the overall Market Internals + the underlying's Price movement, we can determine areas where we feel comfortable adding risk on or taking risk off.
This will help those that struggle at identifying trends and valid reversals.
All of the default settings are our recommended settings.
