Indexrate Code SMIndexrate Code SM is an indicator and part of the Indexrate Code Set of Algorithm, which additionally includes the Indexrate Code A strategy and Indexrate Code B indicator.
The Indexrate Code Set of Algorithms can be used for any trading instruments and on any existing markets (Stock market, Forex, Cryptocurrency market, etc.).
Getting access to the Indexrate Code A strategy, you gain access to the whole set of Indexrate Code algorithms.
Indexrate Code SM is an indicator, based on the Smart Money concept. Smart money is large market participants with sufficient volumes to influence the price. This is a small group that includes banks and large funds. Their every move is controlled down to the smallest detail. In the modern world, this is done with the help of artificial intelligence and other complex algorithms that move the price to certain values. Unique programs that lower and raise the price are effective because they know the behavior of people, which will invariably be based on fear and greed.
On the other side are the majority of traders, including us - this is uninformed money. This group includes retail traders and small funds. Residents of this group believe that due to their numbers, they move the market. But in fact, the retail sector cannot have any influence on the price. This is due to low volumes: a large group in monetary terms is not as large as it may seem. Large volumes that can do this are in a small group - smart money. Retail traders are too small and make up only a small percentage of the money in circulation on the market (~5%), so the main target for smart capital is always funds.
Smart Money is following large market participants. With the help of this concept and its tools, you can identify and track the actions of smart money. As long as there is liquidity in the market, the concept will be effective in application.
Indexrate Code SM consists of a set of signals displayed on the chart, configured in a unique way to interact with each other and allowing traders to comprehensively analyze the movement of the asset price.
The indicator displays the zones of interest of "bulls" and bears", which are highlighted with lines of the corresponding color. Where gray is the zone of "bears", and blue is the zone of "bulls". When these zones are broken, the indicator displays the corresponding signals to buy or sell.
The indicator also displays the zone of fair price, highlighting it in yellow. This zone acts as a conditional magnet in the event of a price rebound from the zones of interest.
In addition, the indicator displays the zone of the greatest local interest of buyers (storng high) and sellers (weak low). When the zone of fair price is broken, the asset often rushes to these local levels. From which a rebound often occurs, both during a reversal of movement and during a breakout.
The lines of the previous daily high (PDH) and the previous daily low (PDL) give traders an understanding of the intraday range of price movement.
The Indexrate Code SM integrates the Sequential and Trend HMA trend algorithms, known to us from the Indexrate Code A strategy. By default, these algorithms are not displayed on the chart (you can enable the display in the settings), since they are displayed in the strategy, but they continue to work inside the indicator to establish more accurate signals to buy or sell. The settings of these algorithms are identical to the settings displayed in the Indexrate Code A strategy.
The search for optimal signal settings includes the time structure, that is, the period for which the calculation and search for areas of interest are carried out. As well as the number of order blocks.
drive.google.com
The settings of the Sequential and Trend HMA trend algorithms are aimed at eliminating false signals as much as possible.
drive.google.com
The signals on the chart are displayed as green dots for buying and red dots for selling.
Provided that the Indexrate Code A strategy is configured most successfully, the appearance of a confirmation signal can provide the potential probability of the strongest price movement.
It is also worth considering that when working with the Heiken Ashi chart, for which the Indexrate Code Set of Algorithm works, you must install OHLC as shown in the screenshot below. Since this parameter allows you to take into account real exchange prices, without calculating average Heiken Ashi values, which can mislead the trader regarding the current state of the market. And also take into account the percentage of the exchange commission and the On bar close parameter.

The Indexrate Code Set of Algorithms is suitable for conservative traders who evaluate their success in the long term, and not in short-term excess profits.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW that no indicator is capable of 100% predicting a successful trade.
The market is a collection of people. It is thanks to human psychology that shapes the forces of supply and demand that financial markets exist (Charles Dow Theory).
Forecasting based on the analysis of mathematical algorithms (indicators) uses data from past trading - the price of the previous period of time and the volume of previous trading. It is these two indicators that are used by modern technical analysis.
The Indexrate Code Set of Algorithm is based on algorithms that evaluate trends, prices and volume indicators. As well as human psychology, which requires an assessment of the exact preceding periods for a specific timeframe, and not an assessment of the entire period from the moment of listing of a trading instrument on a specific exchange. Since market indicators completely change throughout the trading period and the exchange trading volume also changes.
All updates to the Indexrate Code Set of Algorithm will be free.

Indexrate Code SM - это индикатор являющийся частью Комплекта алгоритмов Indexrate Code, включающего в себя дополнительно стратегию Indexrate Code А и индикатор Indexrate Code B.
Комплект алгоритмов Indexrate Code, может быть использован для любых торговых инструментов и на любых существующих рынках (Фондовый рынок, Форекс, Криптовалютный рынок и тд).
Получая доступ к индикатору Indexrate Code SM, вы получаете доступ ко всему комплекту алгоритмов Indexrate Code.
Indexrate Code SM это индикатор, основанный на концепции Smart Money. Умные деньги — это крупные участники рынка, имеющие достаточные объемы, чтобы оказывать влияние на цену. Это небольшая группа, в которую входят банки и крупные фонды. Каждое их движение, до мельчайших деталей контролируется. В современном мире это делается с помощью искусственного интеллекта и других сложных алгоритмов, которые двигают цену на определенные значения. Уникальные программы, которые опускают и поднимают цену, эффективны, потому что они знают поведение людей, которое неизменно будет основываться на страхе и жадности.
По другую сторону находится большинство трейдеров, включая нас – это не информированные деньги. В такую группу входят ритейл трейдеры и небольшие
фонды. Резиденты такой группы считают, что из-за их численности они двигают рынок. Но на самом деле розничный сектор не может оказывать никакого влияния на цену. Обуславливается это низкими объемами: большая группа в денежном эквиваленте не так уж велика, как может показаться. Крупные объемы, способные это делать, находятся в небольшой группе — умных денег. Ритейл трейдеры слишком малы и составляют только небольшой процент обращаемых денег на рынке (~5%), поэтому основной целью для умного капитала всегда выступают фонды.
Smart Money это следование за крупными участниками рынка. С помощью
этой концепции и ее инструментов, вы сможете идентифицировать и отслеживать действия умных денег. Пока на рынке будет ликвидность, до тех пор концепция будет эффективна в применении.
Indexrate Code SM состоит из совокупности отображаемых сигналов на графике, настроенных уникальным образом для взаимодействия между собой и позволяющих трейдерам комплексно анализировать движение цены актива.
Индикатор отображает зоны интереса «быков» и медведей», которые подсвечиваются линиями соответствующего цвета. Где серый это зона «медведей», а голубой это зона «быков». При прорыве этих зон, индикатор отображает соответствующие сигналы на покупку или на продажу.
Также индикатор отображает зону справедливой цены, подсвечивая ее желтым цветом. Данная зона выступает в качестве условного магнита, в случае отскока цены от зон интереса.
Дополнительно на индикаторе отображены зона наибольшего локального интереса покупателей (storng high) и продавцов (weak low). При прорыве зоны справедливой цены, актив чаще устремляется именно к этим локальным уровням. От которых зачастую происходит отскок, как и при развороте движения, так и при пробитии.
Линии предыдущего дневного хая (PDH) и предыдущего дневного лоя (PDL), дают трейдерам понимание внутридневного диапазона движения цены.
В Indexrate Code SM интегрированы трендовые алгоритмы Sequential и Trend HMA, известные нам по стратегии Indexrate Code A. По умолчанию данные алгоритмы не отображаются на графике (можно включит отображение в настройках), так как они отображены в стратегии, но продолжают работать внутри индикатора, для установления более точных сигналов на покупку или продажу. Настройки указанных алгоритмов идентичны, настройкам, отображаемым в стратегии Indexrate Code A.
Поиск оптимальных настроек сигналов, включает в себя структуру времени, то есть период, за который идет расчет и поиск зон интереса. А также количество ордер блоков.

Настройки трендовых алгоритмов Sequential и Trend HMA, направлены для максимального исключения ложных сигналов.

Сигналы на графике отображены точками зеленого цвета на покупку и красного цвета на продажу.
При условии наиболее удачной настройки стратегии Indexrate Code A, появление подтверждающего сигнала, может давать потенциальную вероятность наиболее сильного движения цены.
Стоит также учесть, что при работе с графиком Heiken Ashi, для которого работает Комплект алгоритмов Indexrate Code, необходимо устанавливать OHLC как показано ниже на скриншоте. Поскольку этот параметр позволяет учитывать реальные биржевые цены, без расчета усредненных значений Heiken Ashi, которые могут ввести трейдера в заблуждение относительно текущего состояния рынка. А также учитывать процент комиссии биржи и параметр On bar close.

Candle close on high time frameOVERVIEW
This indicator plots persistent closing levels of higher time frame candles (H1, H4, and Daily) on the active intraday chart in real time. Unlike similar tools, it offers granular control over line projection length, fully independent toggles per timeframe, and a built-in mechanism that automatically limits the total number of historical levels to avoid chart clutter and performance issues.
CONCEPTS
Key levels from higher time frames often act as areas where price reacts or consolidates. By projecting each candle's exact closing price forward as a horizontal reference, traders can quickly identify dynamic support and resistance zones relevant to the current price action. This indicator enables seamless multi-timeframe analysis without the need to manually switch chart intervals or re-draw lines.
FEATURES
Independent Time Frame Selection: Enable or disable H1, H4, and Daily levels individually to tailor the analysis.
Custom Extension Length: Each timeframe's closing level can be projected forward for a user-defined number of bars.
Performance Optimization: The script maintains an internal limit (default: 100) on the number of active lines. When this threshold is exceeded, the oldest lines are removed automatically.
Visual Differentiation: Colors for each timeframe are fully customizable, enabling immediate recognition of level origin.
Immediate Update: New levels appear as soon as a higher timeframe candle closes, ensuring real-time reference.
USAGE
From the indicator inputs, select which timeframes you want to track.
Adjust the extension lengths to fit your trading style and time horizon.
Customize the line colors for clarity and personal preference.
Use these projected levels as part of your confluence criteria for entries, exits, or stop placement.
Combine with trend indicators or price action tools to enhance your multi-timeframe strategy.
ORIGINALITY AND ADDED VALUE
While similar scripts exist that plot higher timeframe levels, this implementation differs in:
Its efficient automatic cleanup of old lines to preserve chart performance.
The independent extension and color settings per timeframe.
Immediate reaction to new candle closes without repainting.
Simplicity of use combined with precise customization.
This combination makes it a practical and flexible tool for traders who rely on clear HTF level visualization without manual drawing or the limitations of built-in TradingView tools.

Mirror US10YThis TradingView script is designed to automatically detect the asset you are viewing (stock, commodity, or crypto) and, if it matches a long list of supported tickers, overlays a "mirror" subchart. This subchart plots the price action of a related pair—typically the asset divided by the US 10-Year Treasury yield (US10Y), or another relevant macro or sector index. The script also detects and visualizes "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" (IFVGs) on the subchart, and can trigger alerts when these gaps are filled.
1. Automatic Subchart Detection
The script first checks which symbol you are viewing.
If it matches a list of supported stocks or commodities (e.g., NVDA, TSLA, GOLD), it sets a corresponding subchart pair (e.g., NVDA/US20Y, GOLD/US10Y).
If it’s a crypto asset, it checks both the exchange and the symbol, and sets a subchart like BINANCE:ADAUSDT/US10Y.
If a match is found, it enables plotting for the subchart.
2. Subchart Data Fetching
Once a subchart is selected, the script fetches its OHLCV data (open, high, low, close) and a 200-period ATR (Average True Range) using request.security.
It then plots the subchart’s candlesticks in white (bullish) or red (bearish).
3. IFVG (Imbalance Fair Value Gap) Detection
The script defines custom types and arrays to track bullish and bearish IFVGs and their "invalidation" (when the gap is filled).
It detects IFVGs by looking for price gaps between the current and previous candles, filtered by ATR to avoid noise.
When a gap is detected, it is stored in an array with its coordinates and direction.
4. IFVG Management and Visualization
The script manages the lifecycle of each IFVG: it tracks when a gap is filled (invalidated) and moves it to a separate array.
It draws colored boxes and dashed lines on the chart to visualize the last few IFVGs, using green for bullish and red for bearish.
When a gap is filled, it places a label (▲ or ▼) at the fill point.
5. Alerts
The script sets up two alert conditions: one for a bullish IFVG fill, and one for a bearish IFVG fill.
These can be used to trigger TradingView alerts for trading signals.
6. Debugging and Info Labels
The script displays labels on the chart showing the detected ticker and the subpair being plotted, for clarity.
This indicator is even more reliable when combined with the Mirror 2 indicator, which shows the same system but mostly with the BTC pair in crypto.
Both the Mirror US10Y and Mirror 2 also allow you to see the main inverse pairs in stocks.
First Round Break TrackerA simple indicator that tracks the first-time breakouts of round number levels (psychological levels) on any chart. Clean interface with minimal configuration needed
First Breakout Only : Marks each round level only once when broken for the first time
Customizable Step Size : Adjustable round number intervals (e.g., 100, 1000, 10000 etc.)
Clean Visual Alerts : Green labels with "FIRST:" prefix appear exactly at breakout moments
Real-time Info Panel : Shows current price, next target level, and total breakouts count
Prev Day & Premarket High/Low LinesThis TradingView Pine Script is designed to enhance intraday trading by visually marking key price levels on the chart. It automatically plots horizontal lines representing the previous day's high and low, as well as the pre-market session's high and low. These levels are critical for identifying support and resistance zones that traders often use for entries, exits, or to anticipate price reactions.
The script calculates the previous day's high and low using daily historical data. For the pre-market session, which is defined as 4:00 AM to 9:30 AM Eastern Time, it tracks price movements on intraday charts and captures the highest and lowest price reached during that session.
At exactly 9:31 AM EST, once the pre-market ends, the script draws horizontal lines at these levels for the current trading day. Each line's color and width are fully customizable through input settings, allowing users to match their chart themes or preferences.
This tool is especially helpful for day traders and scalpers who rely on short-term price action. It ensures that important reference levels are clearly displayed without manual effort, aiding in quick decision-making and improving overall trading discipline and strategy execution.
RSI+BOLLINGER (LONG & SHORT)This indicator combines two of the most popular tools in technical analysis, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands (BB), to generate both long (BUY) and short (SELL) trading signals.
Strategy:
Entries (Buy/Short): Entry signals are based on the RSI.
A BUY is suggested when the RSI crosses above an oversold level (default: 29), indicating a possible upward reversal.
A SHORT is suggested when the RSI crosses below an overbought level (default: 71), indicating a possible downward reversal.
Exits (Position Closure): Exit signals are based on Bollinger Bands.
A long position is closed when the price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
A short position is closed when the price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band.
Key Features:
Cascade Filter: Includes a smart filter that prevents opening new consecutive trades if the price hasn't moved significantly in favor of a new entry, optimizing signal quality.
Automation Alerts: Generates detailed alerts in JSON format for each event (buy, sell, close), designed for easy integration with trading bots and automated systems via webhooks.
Fully Configurable: All parameters of the RSI, Bollinger Bands, and strategy filters can be adjusted from the indicator’s settings menu.
Custom Opening TimesThis indicator displays custom opening levels on your chart. Define multiple opening times, each with its own customizable style. Display these levels as horizontal lines at the opening price, or as vertical lines to mark the opening time.

[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.
█ How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.

Smart MTF S/R Levels[BullByte]
Smart MTF S/R Levels
Introduction & Motivation
Support and Resistance (S/R) levels are the backbone of technical analysis. However, most traders face two major challenges:
Manual S/R Marking: Drawing S/R levels by hand is time-consuming, subjective, and often inconsistent.
Multi-Timeframe Blind Spots: Key S/R levels from higher or lower timeframes are often missed, leading to surprise reversals or missed opportunities.
Smart MTF S/R Levels was created to solve these problems. It is a fully automated, multi-timeframe, multi-method S/R detection and visualization tool, designed to give traders a complete, objective, and actionable view of the market’s most important price zones.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously analyzes up to three user-selected timeframes, ensuring you never miss a critical S/R level from any timeframe.
Multi-Method Confluence: Integrates several respected S/R detection methods—Swings, Pivots, Fibonacci, Order Blocks, and Volume Profile—into a single, unified system.
Zone Clustering: Automatically merges nearby levels into “zones” to reduce clutter and highlight areas of true market consensus.
Confluence Scoring: Each zone is scored by the number of methods and timeframes in agreement, helping you instantly spot the most significant S/R areas.
Reaction Counting: Tracks how many times price has recently interacted with each zone, providing a real-world measure of its importance.
Customizable Dashboard: A real-time, on-chart table summarizes all key S/R zones, their origins, confluence, and proximity to price.
Smart Alerts: Get notified when price approaches high-confluence zones, so you never miss a critical trading opportunity.
Why Should a Trader Use This?
Objectivity: Removes subjectivity from S/R analysis by using algorithmic detection and clustering.
Efficiency: Saves hours of manual charting and reduces analysis fatigue.
Comprehensiveness: Ensures you are always aware of the most relevant S/R zones, regardless of your trading timeframe.
Actionability: The dashboard and alerts make it easy to act on the most important levels, improving trade timing and risk management.
Adaptability: Works for all asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, futures) and all trading styles (scalping, swing, position).
The Gap This Indicator Fills
Most S/R indicators focus on a single method or timeframe, leading to incomplete analysis. Manual S/R marking is error-prone and inconsistent. This indicator fills the gap by:
Automating S/R detection across multiple timeframes and methods
Objectively scoring and ranking zones by confluence and reaction
Presenting all this information in a clear, actionable dashboard
How Does It Work? (Technical Logic)
1. Level Detection
For each selected timeframe, the script detects S/R levels using:
SW (Swing High/Low): Recent price pivots where reversals occurred.
Pivot: Classic floor trader pivots (P, S1, R1).
Fib (Fibonacci): Key retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) over the last 50 bars.
Bull OB / Bear OB: Institutional price zones based on bullish/bearish engulfing patterns.
VWAP / POC: Volume Weighted Average Price and Point of Control over the last 50 bars.
2. Level Clustering
Levels within a user-defined % distance are merged into a single “zone.”
Each zone records which methods and timeframes contributed to it.
3. Confluence & Reaction Scoring
Confluence: The number of unique methods/timeframes in agreement for a zone.
Reactions: The number of times price has touched or reversed at the zone in the recent past (user-defined lookback).
4. Filtering & Sorting
Only zones within a user-defined % of the current price are shown (to focus on actionable areas).
Zones can be sorted by confluence, reaction count, or proximity to price.
5. Visualization
Zones: Shaded boxes on the chart (green for support, red for resistance, blue for mixed).
Lines: Mark the exact level of each zone.
Labels: Show level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Lists all nearby zones with full details.
6. Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price approaches a zone with confluence above a user-set threshold.
Inputs & Customization (Explained for All Users)

Dist %: Distance from current price (in %)
Abbreviations Used
SW = Swing High/Low (recent price pivots where reversals occurred)
Fib = Fibonacci Level (key retracement levels such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786)
VWAP = Volume Weighted Average Price (price level weighted by volume)
POC = Point of Control (price level with the highest traded volume)
Bull OB = Bullish Order Block (institutional support zone from bullish price action)
Bear OB = Bearish Order Block (institutional resistance zone from bearish price action)
Pivot = Pivot Point (classic floor trader pivots: P, S1, R1)
These abbreviations appear in the dashboard and chart labels for clarity.
Example: How to Read the Dashboard and Labels (from the chart above)
Suppose you are trading BTCUSDT on a 15-minute chart. The dashboard at the top right shows several S/R zones, each with a breakdown of which timeframes and methods contributed to their detection:
Resistance zone at 119257.11:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW), 15m (2 SW), 1h (3 SW)
This means the level 119257.11 was identified as a resistance zone by one swing high (SW) on the 5-minute timeframe, two swing highs on the 15-minute timeframe, and three swing highs on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 6 (total number of method/timeframe hits), and there has been 1 recent price reaction at this level. This suggests 119257.11 is a strong resistance zone, confirmed by multiple swing highs across all selected timeframes.
Mixed zone at 118767.97:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 15m (2 SW)
This means the level 118767.97 was identified by two swing points on both the 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 19 recent price reactions at this level, indicating it is a highly reactive zone.
Support zone at 117411.35:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 1h (2 SW)
This means the level 117411.35 was identified as a support zone by two swing lows on the 5-minute timeframe and two swing lows on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 2 recent price reactions at this level.
Mixed zone at 118291.45:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW, 1 VWAP), 5m (1 VWAP), 1h (1 VWAP)
This means the level 118291.45 was identified by a swing and VWAP on the 15-minute timeframe, and by VWAP on both the 5-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 12 recent price reactions at this level.
Support zone at 117103.10:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW), 1h (1 SW)
This means the level 117103.10 was identified by a single swing low on both the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 2, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
Resistance zone at 117899.33:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW)
This means the level 117899.33 was identified by a single swing high on the 5-minute timeframe. The confluence score is 1, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
How to use this:
Zones with higher confluence (more methods and timeframes in agreement) and more recent reactions are generally more significant. For example, the resistance at 119257.11 is much stronger than the resistance at 117899.33, and the mixed zone at 118767.97 has shown the most recent price reactions, making it a key area to watch for potential reversals or breakouts.
Tip:
“SW” stands for Swing High/Low, and “VWAP” stands for Volume Weighted Average Price.
The format 15m (2 SW) means two swing points were detected on the 15-minute timeframe.
Best Practices & Recommendations
Use with Other Tools: This indicator is most powerful when combined with your own price action analysis and risk management.
Adjust Settings: Experiment with timeframes, clustering, and methods to suit your trading style and the asset’s volatility.
Watch for High Confluence: Zones with higher confluence and more reactions are generally more significant.
Limitations
No Future Prediction: The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights areas where price is statistically more likely to react.
Not a Standalone System: Should be used as part of a broader trading plan.
Historical Data: Reaction counts are based on historical price action and may not always repeat.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Trading involves risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management and consult a financial advisor if needed.
Bronx Key LevelsThis indicator plots crucial high and low price levels from various trading sessions (Asia, London, New York) and key historical periods (Previous Day, Week, and Month) directly onto your chart.
It is designed for traders who use key liquidity levels for their analysis. The script features real-time tracking of highs and lows as they form within active sessions and can display historical levels for a configurable number of past days.
Users have extensive control over the visual presentation, including the ability to set a global style for all lines or customize each level's color, width, and line style individually. For a cleaner chart, the script includes a feature to automatically merge labels that overlap at the same price level. Additionally, it provides optional session boxes to visually highlight the duration of each trading session.
The script is also equipped with a comprehensive alert system that can notify you whenever the price touches one of the enabled key levels.
[Top] Trend Lines with Strength DetectionThe Auto Trend Lines with Strength Detection indicator automatically detects and draws dynamic support and resistance lines based on pivot highs and lows. These trend lines adapt to market structure in real time, increasing in opacity as they accumulate additional touches. Numbers are also printed above each line indicating the number of times that line has been tested and held.
Unlike most trend line indicators, this one does not consider a brief wick to have broken the line. Nor does it break the line if the current candle is testing it. The candle must fully close on the oppose side of a trend line for this indicator to remove that line.
On the chart above you can see that the current candle is in the process of breaking the two resistance lines. If the candle closes above the lines, they will be broken and removed from the chart. If it's not able to close above the resistance lines, they will remain intact and accumulate another touch point.
Key features include:
Pivot-based detection: Lines are drawn between valid swing points while filtering out intermediate price violations.
Strength visualization: Each time price comes into proximity with a trend line, the “touch count” is incremented and both the line and its label darken accordingly.
Break handling: Lines are automatically removed once the body of a candle closes beyond them, reducing clutter from broken levels.
Customization options: Users can adjust pivot sensitivity, maximum lines to retain, line styles, widths, and colors independently for support and resistance.
Pivot History: You can decide how far back you want the script to look for valid trends.
⸻
Potential Uses:
Identifying strong support/resistance zones: As trend lines accumulate touches, they become visually stronger, helping traders spot high-confluence levels.
Breakout and breakdown filtering: Detects and removes invalidated trend lines only after a full candle body breach, reducing false breakouts caused by wicks.
Trend structure analysis: Helps visualize emerging or weakening trends by observing how support/resistance lines evolve and how price interacts with them.
Strategy development: Can be used as a component in breakout, mean-reversion, or range-based trading systems.
Liquidity Trap Zones [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Trap Zones
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The goal of the Liquidity Trap Zones indicator is to try and help traders identify areas where market liquidity appears abundant but is actually thin or artificial, helping traders avoid potential fake outs and false breakouts. This advanced indicator analyzes the relationship between price wicks and volume to detect “mirage” zones where large price movements occur on low volume, indicating potential liquidity traps.
By highlighting these deceptive zones on your charts, the indicator helps traders recognize where institutional players might be creating artificial liquidity to trap retail traders. This enables more informed decision-making and better risk management when approaching key price levels.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Mirage Score Algorithm: Proprietary calculation that normalizes wick size relative to volume and average bar size
Dynamic Zone Creation: Automatically generates gradient-filled zones at trap locations with ATR-based sizing
Intelligent Zone Management: Maintains clean charts by limiting displayed zones and auto-updating existing ones
Scale-Invariant Design: Works across all assets and timeframes with intelligent normalization
Real-Time Detection: Identifies trap zones as they form, not after the fact
Volume-Adjusted Analysis: Incorporates tick volume when available for more accurate detection
🔧 Core Components
Mirage Score Calculator: Analyzes the ratio of price wicks to volume, normalized by average bar size
ATR-Based Filter: Ensures only significant price movements are considered for trap zone creation
EMA Smoothing: Reduces noise in the mirage score for clearer signals
Gradient Zone Renderer: Creates visually distinct zones with multiple opacity levels for better visibility
🔥 Key Features
Real-Time Trap Detection: Identifies liquidity mirages as they develop during live trading
Dynamic Zone Sizing: Adjusts zone height based on current market volatility (ATR)
Smart Zone Management: Automatically maintains a clean chart by limiting the number of displayed zones
Customizable Sensitivity: Fine-tune detection parameters for different market conditions
Visual Clarity: Gradient-filled zones with distinct borders for easy identification
Status Line Display: Shows current mirage score and threshold for quick reference
🎨 Visualization
Gradient Trap Zones: Purple gradient boxes with darker centers indicating trap strength
Mirage Score Line: Orange line in status area showing current liquidity quality
Threshold Reference: Gray line showing your configured detection threshold
Extended Zone Display: Zones automatically extend forward as new bars form
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Smoothing Length (EMA) - Default: 10 - Range: 1-50 - Description: Controls responsiveness of mirage score. Lower values make detection more sensitive to recent price action
Mirage Threshold - Default: 5.0 - Range: 0.1-20.0 - Description: Score above this level triggers trap zone creation. Higher values reduce false positives but may miss subtle traps
Filter Settings
ATR Length for Range Filter - Default: 14 - Range: 1-50 - Description: Period for volatility calculation. Standard 14 works well for most timeframes
ATR Multiplier - Default: 1.0 - Range: 0.0-5.0 - Description: Minimum bar range as multiple of ATR. Higher values filter out smaller moves
Display Settings
Zone Height Multiplier - Default: 0.5 - Range: 0.1-2.0 - Description: Controls trap zone height relative to ATR. Adjust for visual preference
Max Trap Zones - Default: 5 - Range: 1-20 - Description: Maximum zones displayed before oldest are removed. Balance clarity vs. history
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential fakeout levels before entering trades
Confirming support/resistance quality by checking for liquidity traps
Avoiding stop-loss placement in trap zones where sweeps are likely
Timing entries after trap zones are cleared
Scalping opportunities when price approaches known trap zones
⚠️ Limitations
Requires volume data - less effective on instruments without reliable volume
May generate false signals during news events or genuine volume spikes
Not a standalone system - combine with price action and other indicators
Zone creation is based on historical data - future price behavior not guaranteed
💡 What Makes This Unique
First indicator to specifically target liquidity mirages using wick-to-volume analysis
Proprietary normalization ensures consistent performance across all markets
Visual gradient design makes trap zones immediately recognizable
Combines multiple volatility and volume metrics for robust detection
🔬 How It Works
1. Wick Analysis: Calculates upper and lower wicks for each bar. Normalizes by average bar size to ensure scale independence
2. Mirage Score Calculation: Divides total wick size by volume to identify thin liquidity. Applies EMA smoothing to reduce noise. Scales result for optimal visibility
3. Zone Creation: Triggers when smoothed score crosses threshold. Creates gradient boxes centered on trap bar. Sizes zones based on current ATR for market-appropriate scaling
💡 Note: Liquidity Trap Zones works best when combined with traditional support/resistance analysis and volume profile indicators. The zones highlight areas of deceptive liquidity but should not be the sole factor in trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and confirm signals with price action.
Multi Pivot Point & Central Pivot Range - Nadeem Al-QahwiThis indicator combines four advanced trading modules into one flexible and easy-to-use script:
Traditional Pivot Points:
Calculates classic support and resistance levels (PP, R1–R5, S1–S5) based on previous session data. Ideal for identifying key turning points and mapping out the daily, weekly, or monthly structure.
Camarilla Levels:
Provides six upper and lower pivot levels (H1–H6, L1–L6) derived from volatility and closing price formulas. Especially effective for intraday reversal, mean reversion, and finding overbought/oversold extremes.
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
Plots the median, top, and bottom of the value area each session. CPR width instantly highlights whether the market is likely to trend (narrow CPR) or remain range-bound (wide CPR).
Developing CPR projects the evolving range for the current period—essential for real-time analysis and pre-market planning.
Dynamic Zone Levels (DZL):
Automatically detects and highlights clusters of pivots to reveal high-probability support/resistance zones, filtering out market “noise.”
DZL alerts notify you whenever price breaks or retests these key areas, making it easier to spot momentum trades and avoid false signals.
Key Features:
Multi-timeframe flexibility: Use with daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom timeframes—even rare ones like biyearly and decennial.
Modular design: Activate or hide any system (Traditional, Camarilla, CPR, DZL) as you need.
Bilingual interface: Every setting and label is shown in both English and Arabic.
Full customization: Control visibility, color, style, and placement for every level and label.
Historical depth: Plot up to 5,000 pivot/zones back for deep analysis and backtesting.
Smart alerts: Get instant notifications on true S/R breakouts or retests (from DZL).
How to Use:
Trend Trading:
Watch for a very narrow CPR to identify potential trending days—trade in the breakout direction above/below the CPR.
Range Trading:
When CPR is wide, expect sideways movement. Fade reversals at R1/S1 or within the CPR boundaries.
Breakouts:
Use DZL alerts to capture momentum as price breaks or retests dynamic support/resistance zones.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
Combine CPR and pivot levels from multiple timeframes for higher-probability entries and exits.
All calculations and logic are fully open.
SuperTrend - Dynamic Lines and ChannelsSuperTrend Indicator: Comprehensive Description
Overview
The SuperTrend indicator is Pine Script V6 designed for TradingView to plot dynamic trend lines & channels across multiple timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly/All-Time) to assist traders in identifying potential support, resistance, and trend continuation levels. The script calculates trendlines based on high and low prices over specified periods, projects these trendlines forward, and includes optional reflection channels and heartlines to provide additional context for price action analysis. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to toggle the visibility of trendlines, projections, and heartlines for each timeframe, with a focus on the DayTrade channel, which includes unique reflection channel features.
This description provides a detailed explanation of the indicator’s features, functionality, and display, with a specific focus on the DayTrade channel’s anchoring, the role of static and dynamic channels in projecting future price action, the heartline’s potential as a volume indicator, and how traders can use the indicator for line-to-line trading strategies.
Features and Functionality
1. Dynamic Trend Channels
The SuperTrend indicator calculates trend channels for five timeframes:
DayTrade Channel: Tracks daily highs and lows, updating before 12 PM each trading day.
Weekly Channel: Tracks highs and lows over a user-selected period (1, 2, or 3 weeks).
Monthly Channel: Tracks monthly highs and lows.
Quarterly Channel: Tracks highs and lows over a user-selected period (1 or 2 quarters).
Yearly/All-Time Channel: Tracks highs and lows over a user-selected period (1 to 10 years or All Time).
Each channel consists of:
Upper Trendline: Connects the high prices of the previous and current periods.
Lower Trendline: Connects the low prices of the previous and current periods.
Projections: Extends the trendlines forward based on the trend’s slope.
Heartline: A dashed line drawn at the midpoint between the upper and lower trendlines or their projections.
DayTrade Channel Anchoring
The DayTrade channel anchors its trendlines to the high and low prices of the previous and current trading days, with updates restricted to before 12 PM to capture significant price movements during the morning session, which is often more volatile due to market openings or news events. The "Show DayTrade Trend Lines" toggle enables this channel, and after 12 PM, the trendlines and projections remain static for the rest of the trading day. This static anchoring provides a consistent reference for potential support and resistance levels, allowing traders to anticipate price reactions based on historical highs and lows from the previous day and the morning session of the current day.
The static nature of the DayTrade channel after 12 PM ensures that the trendlines and projections do not shift mid-session, providing a stable framework for traders to assess whether price action respects or breaks these levels, potentially indicating trend continuation or reversal.
Static vs. Dynamic Channels
Static Channels: Once set (e.g., after 12 PM for the DayTrade channel or at the start of a new period for other timeframes), the trendlines remain fixed until the next period begins. This static behavior allows traders to use the channels as reference levels for potential price targets or reversal points, as they are based on historical price extremes.
Dynamic Projections: The projections extend the trendlines forward, providing a visual guide for potential future price action, assuming the trend’s momentum continues. When a trendline is broken (e.g., price closes above the upper projection or below the lower projection), it may suggest a breakout or reversal, prompting traders to reassess their positions.
2. Reflection Channels (DayTrade Only)
The DayTrade channel includes optional lower and upper reflection channels, which are additional trendlines positioned symmetrically around the main channel to provide extended support and resistance zones. These are controlled by the "Show Reflection Channel" dropdown.
Lower Reflection Channel:
Position: Drawn below the lower trendline at a distance equal to the range between the upper and lower trendlines.
Projection: Extends forward as a dashed line.
Heartline: A dashed line drawn at the midpoint between the lower trendline and the lower reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Lower Reflection Heartline" toggle.
Upper Reflection Channel:
Position: Drawn above the upper trendline at the same distance as the main channel’s range.
Projection: Extends forward as a dashed line.
Heartline: A dashed line drawn at the midpoint between the upper trendline and the upper reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Upper Reflection Heartline" toggle.
Display Control: The "Show Reflection Channel" dropdown allows users to select:
"None": No reflection channels are shown.
"Lower": Only the lower reflection channel is shown.
"Upper": Only the upper reflection channel is shown.
"Both": Both reflection channels are shown.
Purpose: Reflection channels extend the price range analysis by providing additional levels where price may react, acting as potential targets or reversal zones after breaking the main trendlines.
3. Heartlines
Each timeframe, including the DayTrade channel and its reflection channels, can display a heartline, which is a dashed line plotted at the midpoint between the upper and lower trendlines or their projections. For the DayTrade channel:
Main DayTrade Heartline: Midpoint between the upper and lower trendlines, controlled by the "Show DayTrade Heartline" toggle.
Lower Reflection Heartline: Midpoint between the lower trendline and the lower reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Lower Reflection Heartline" toggle.
Upper Reflection Heartline: Midpoint between the upper trendline and the upper reflection trendline, controlled by the "Show Upper Reflection Heartline" toggle.
Independent Toggles: Visibility is controlled by:
"Show DayTrade Heartline": For the main DayTrade heartline.
"Show Lower Reflection Heartline": For the lower reflection heartline.
"Show Upper Reflection Heartline": For the upper reflection heartline.
Potential Volume Indicator: The heartline represents the average price level between the high and low of a period, which may correlate with areas of high trading activity or volume concentration, as these midpoints often align with price levels where buyers and sellers have historically converged. A break above or below the heartline, especially with strong momentum, may indicate a shift in market sentiment, potentially leading to accelerated price movement in the direction of the break. However, this is an observation based on the heartline’s position, not a direct measure of volume, as the script does not incorporate volume data.
4. Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for all timeframes, triggered when a candle closes fully above the upper projection or below the lower projection. For the DayTrade channel:
Upper Trend Break: Triggers when a candle closes fully above the upper projection.
Lower Trend Break: Triggers when a candle closes fully below the lower projection.
Alerts are combined across all timeframes, so a break in any timeframe triggers a general "Upper Trend Break" or "Lower Trend Break" alert with the message: "Candle closed fully above/below one or more projection lines." Alerts fire once per bar close.
5. Customization Options
The script provides extensive customization through input settings, grouped by timeframe:
DayTrade Channel:
"Show DayTrade Trend Lines": Toggle main trendlines and projections.
"Show DayTrade Heartline": Toggle main heartline.
"Show Lower Reflection Heartline": Toggle lower reflection heartline.
"Show Upper Reflection Heartline": Toggle upper reflection heartline.
"DayTrade Channel Color": Set color for trendlines.
"DayTrade Projection Channel Color": Set color for projections.
"Heartline Color": Set color for all heartlines.
"Show Reflection Channel": Dropdown to show "None," "Lower," "Upper," or "Both" reflection channels.
Other Timeframes (Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly/All-Time):
Toggles for trendlines (e.g., "Show Weekly Trend Lines," "Show Monthly Trend Lines") and heartlines (e.g., "Show Weekly Heartline," "Show Monthly Heartline").
Period selection (e.g., "Weekly Period" for 1, 2, or 3 weeks; "Yearly Period" for 1 to 10 years or All Time).
Separate colors for trendlines (e.g., "Weekly Channel Color"), projections (e.g., "Weekly Projection Channel Color"), and heartlines (e.g., "Weekly Heartline Color").
Max Bar Difference: Limits the distance between anchor points to ensure relevance to recent price action.
Display
The indicator overlays the following elements on the chart:
Trendlines: Solid lines connecting the high and low anchor points for each timeframe, using user-specified colors (e.g., set via "DayTrade Channel Color").
Projections: Dashed lines extending from the current anchor points, indicating potential future price levels, using colors set via "DayTrade Projection Channel Color" or equivalent.
Heartlines: Dashed lines at the midpoint of each channel, using the color set via "Heartline Color" or equivalent.
Reflection Channels (DayTrade Only):
Lower reflection trendline and projection: Below the lower trendline, using the same colors as the main channel.
Upper reflection trendline and projection: Above the upper trendline, using the same colors.
Reflection heartlines: Midpoints between the main trendlines and their respective reflection trendlines, using the "Heartline Color."

Trading Applications: Line-to-Line Trading
The SuperTrend indicator can be used to inform trading decisions by providing a framework for line-to-line trading, where traders use the trendlines, projections, and heartlines as reference points for entries, exits, and risk management. Below is a detailed explanation of how to use the DayTrade channel and its reflection channels for trading, focusing on their anchoring, static/dynamic behavior, and the heartline’s role.
1. Why DayTrade Channel Anchoring
The DayTrade channel’s anchoring to the previous day’s high/low and the current day’s high/low before 12 PM, controlled by the "Show DayTrade Trend Lines" toggle, captures significant price levels during high-volatility periods:
Previous Day High/Low: These represent key levels where price found resistance (high) or support (low) in the prior session, often acting as psychological or technical barriers in the current session.
Current Day High/Low Before 12 PM: The morning session (before 12 PM) often sees increased volatility due to market openings, news releases, or institutional activity. Anchoring to these early highs/lows ensures the channel reflects the most relevant price extremes, which are likely to influence intraday price action.
Static After 12 PM: By fixing the anchor points after 12 PM, the trendlines and projections become stable references for the afternoon session, allowing traders to anticipate price reactions at these levels without the lines shifting unexpectedly.
This anchoring makes the DayTrade channel particularly useful for intraday traders, as it provides a consistent framework based on recent price history, which can guide decisions on trend continuation or reversal.
2. Using Static Channels and Projections
The static nature of the DayTrade channel after 12 PM, enabled by "Show DayTrade Trend Lines," and the dynamic projections, set via "DayTrade Projection Channel Color," provide a structured approach to trading:
Support and Resistance:
The upper trendline and lower trendline act as dynamic support/resistance levels based on the previous and current day’s price extremes.
Traders may observe price reactions (e.g., bounces or breaks) at these levels. For example, if price approaches the lower trendline and bounces, it may indicate support, suggesting a potential long entry.
Projections as Price Targets:
The projections extend the trendlines forward, offering potential price targets if the trend continues. For instance, if price breaks above the upper trendline and continues toward the upper projection, traders might consider it a bullish continuation signal.
A candle closing fully above the upper projection or below the lower projection (triggering an alert) may indicate a breakout, prompting traders to enter in the direction of the break or reassess if the break fails.
Static Channels for Breakouts:
Because the trendlines are static after 12 PM, they serve as fixed reference points. A break above the upper trendline or its projection may suggest bullish momentum, while a break below the lower trendline or projection may indicate bearish momentum.
Traders can use these breaks to set entry points (e.g., entering a long position after a confirmed break above the upper projection) and place stop-losses below the broken level to manage risk.
3. Line-to-Line Trading Strategy
Line-to-line trading involves using the trendlines, projections, and reflection channels as sequential price targets or reversal zones:
Trading Within the Main Channel:
Long Setup: If price bounces off the lower trendline and moves toward the heartline (enabled by "Show DayTrade Heartline") or upper trendline, traders might enter a long position near the lower trendline, targeting the heartline or upper trendline for profit-taking. A stop-loss could be placed below the lower trendline to protect against a breakdown.
Short Setup: If price rejects from the upper trendline and moves toward the heartline or lower trendline, traders might enter a short position near the upper trendline, targeting the heartline or lower trendline, with a stop-loss above the upper trendline.
Trading to Reflection Channels:
If price breaks above the upper trendline and continues toward the upper reflection trendline or its projection (enabled by "Show Reflection Channel" set to "Upper" or "Both"), traders might treat this as a breakout trade, entering long with a target at the upper reflection level and a stop-loss below the upper trendline.
Similarly, a break below the lower trendline toward the lower reflection trendline or its projection (enabled by "Show Reflection Channel" set to "Lower" or "Both") could signal a short opportunity, with a target at the lower reflection level and a stop-loss above the lower trendline.
Reversal Trades:
If price reaches the upper reflection trendline and shows signs of rejection (e.g., a bearish candlestick pattern), traders might consider a short position, anticipating a move back toward the main channel’s upper trendline or heartline.
Conversely, a rejection at the lower reflection trendline could prompt a long position targeting the lower trendline or heartline.
Risk Management:
Use the heartline as a midpoint to gauge whether price is likely to continue toward the opposite trendline or reverse. For example, a failure to break above the heartline after bouncing from the lower trendline might suggest weakening bullish momentum, prompting a tighter stop-loss.
The static nature of the channels after 12 PM allows traders to set precise stop-loss and take-profit levels based on historical price levels, reducing the risk of chasing moving targets.
4. Heartline as a Volume Indicator
The heartline, controlled by toggles like "Show DayTrade Heartline," "Show Lower Reflection Heartline," and "Show Upper Reflection Heartline," may serve as an indirect proxy for areas of high trading activity:
Rationale: The heartline represents the average price between the high and low of a period, which often aligns with price levels where significant buying and selling have occurred, as these midpoints can correspond to areas of consolidation or high volume in the order book. While the script does not directly use volume data, the heartline’s position may reflect price levels where market participants have historically balanced supply and demand.
Breakout Potential: A break above or below the heartline, particularly with a strong candle (e.g., wide range or high momentum), may indicate a shift in market sentiment, potentially leading to accelerated price movement in the direction of the break. For example:
A close above the main DayTrade heartline could suggest buyers are overpowering sellers, potentially leading to a move toward the upper trendline or upper reflection channel.
A close below the heartline could indicate seller dominance, targeting the lower trendline or lower reflection channel.
Trading Application:
Traders might use heartline breaks as confirmation signals for trend continuation. For instance, after a bounce from the lower trendline, a close above the heartline could confirm bullish momentum, prompting a long entry.
The heartline can also act as a dynamic stop-loss or trailing stop level. For example, in a long trade, a trader might exit if price falls below the heartline, indicating a potential reversal.
For reflection heartlines, a break above the upper reflection heartline or below the lower reflection heartline could signal strong momentum, as these levels are further from the main channel and may require significant buying or selling pressure to breach.
5. Practical Trading Considerations
Timeframe Context: The DayTrade channel, enabled by "Show DayTrade Trend Lines," is best suited for intraday trading due to its daily anchoring and morning update behavior. Traders should consider higher timeframe channels (e.g., enabled by "Show Weekly Trend Lines" or "Show Monthly Trend Lines") for broader context, as breaks of the DayTrade channel may align with or be influenced by larger trends.
Confirmation Tools: Use additional indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, or volume-based indicators) or candlestick patterns to confirm signals at trendlines, projections, or heartlines. The script’s alerts can help identify breakouts, but traders should verify with other technical or fundamental factors.
Risk Management: Always define risk-reward ratios before entering trades. For example, a 1:2 risk-reward ratio might involve risking a stop-loss below the lower trendline to target the heartline or upper trendline.
Market Conditions: The effectiveness of the channels and heartlines depends on market conditions (e.g., trending vs. ranging markets). In choppy markets, price may oscillate within the main channel, favoring range-bound strategies. In trending markets, breaks of projections or reflection channels may signal continuation trades.
Limitations: The indicator relies on historical price data and does not incorporate volume, news, or other external factors. Traders should use it as part of a broader strategy and avoid relying solely on its signals.

Advanced Range Theory - ART📊 Advanced Range Theory (ART): The Institutional Blueprint
Stop drawing lines. Start reading the blueprint of the market. Advanced Range Theory (ART) is not another support and resistance indicator; it is a military-grade market structure engine designed to decode the language of institutional capital. It operates on a single, powerful premise: markets move in phases of consolidation and expansion, and the key to anticipation lies in understanding the complete lifecycle of these phases.
ART provides a living, breathing map of the battlefield, identifying institutional accumulation zones and tracking them with unparalleled precision from their inception as "Pending" ranges to their ultimate classification after a breakout. This is your X-ray into the market's skeletal structure.
🔬 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: THE ARCHITECTURE OF PRICE ACTION
ART is built on a multi-layered system of logic that moves beyond static levels. It treats ranges as dynamic entities with a narrative—a beginning, a middle, and an end. The core of the system is the dynamic classification engine, which analyzes not just the range, but the character of the price action that resolves it.
1. The Range Lifecycle: From Accumulation to Classification
This is the revolutionary heart of ART. A range's true identity is only revealed by how it is broken.
Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): A new range is identified based on a period of price consolidation (a "parent" candle followed by a minimum number of "inside" candles). At this stage, it is a neutral zone of potential energy—an area where institutions are likely building positions. It is a question the market has not yet answered.
Phase 2: MITIGATION & CLASSIFICATION: When price breaks out and reaches a calculated extension level, the range is considered "mitigated." At this exact moment, ART analyzes the breakout's DNA to classify the range's true intent:
TYPE 1 - BREAKOUT (Blue): Characterized by a strong, impulsive move with confirming volume. This is a high-conviction breakout, signaling aggressive institutional participation and the likely start of a new trend. It is a statement of intent.
TYPE 2 - REVERSAL (Orange): Occurs when price attempts to break one way but is aggressively rejected, reversing and breaking out the other side. This signals absorption and a "failed auction," often marking significant market turning points.
TYPE 3 - PIVOT (Green): A more balanced breakout, lacking the explosive momentum of a Type 1. This often represents a resolution after a period of indecision or a pivot within a larger trading range.
2. The Hierarchical Map: Source & S/R Levels
ART doesn't just draw boxes; it builds a genealogical map of market structure.
SOURCE LEVEL (Thick Gold Line): This is the "genesis" point—the most recently mitigated range. It acts as the primary point of origin for the current market swing and serves as a critical level for determining overall bias. Price action above the Source is generally bullish; below is bearish.
S/R LEVELS (Cyan Lines): When a range is mitigated, the price level where it broke becomes a key Support/Resistance zone for the future. ART tracks the two most recent S/R levels, as these often act as powerful magnets or rejection points for price.
3. The Multi-Factor Validation Engine
To eliminate noise and focus only on institutionally significant ranges, every potential range must pass a rigorous quality control check:
Time-Based Consolidation: Requires a minimum number of consecutive inside candles (minInsideCandles), ensuring a true period of balance.
Volatility-Based Significance: The range's size must be greater than a multiple of the Average True Range (minRangeSize), filtering out insignificant micro-consolidations.
Participation Confirmation: The parent candle of the range is checked against average volume to ensure there was meaningful activity during its formation.
⚙️ THE COMMAND CONSOLE: CONFIGURING YOUR ART ENGINE
Every input is designed to give you granular control over the detection engine, allowing you to tune ART to any market or timeframe with precision. Each tooltip in the script provides a deep dive, but here is a summary of the core controls.
🎯 ART Detection Engine
Minimum Inside Candles: The soul of the detection algorithm. It defines the minimum number of bars that must be contained within a single "parent" candle to qualify as a range. Higher values (3-4) find major, significant consolidation zones. Lower values (1-2) are more sensitive and will identify shorter-term accumulation patterns.
Extension Multiplier & Fibonacci Extension: These control the profit target projections. The Extension Multiplier uses a simple measured move (e.g., 1.0 = a 1:1 projection of the range's height). The Fibonacci Extension uses the golden ratio (1.618) for harmonically-derived targets.
Mitigation Method (Cross vs. Close): Determines how a breakout is confirmed. Cross is more responsive, triggering as soon as price touches the extension. Close is more conservative, requiring a full candle to close beyond the level, which helps filter out fake-outs from wicks.
Min Range Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. It ensures that ART ignores tiny, insignificant ranges by requiring a range's height to be a certain multiple of the current market volatility (ATR).
📊 Display & Visual Configuration
These settings give you full control over the visual interface. You can toggle every single element—from the Webb Scanner to the S/R Levels—to create a clean or a comprehensive view. Choose a color theme that suits your charting environment or define a fully custom palette.
🕸️ Webb Analysis Scanner
This is a unique real-time flow analysis tool. It draws dynamic, animated lines from the current price to recent historical points. This visualization helps reveal hidden "tendrils" of momentum and short-term support/resistance that are not immediately obvious, acting as a "sonar" for immediate price flow.
📊 THE ANALYTICS HUB: YOUR DASHBOARD DECODED
The dashboard provides a real-time, at-a-glance intelligence briefing on the current state of market structure as seen by the ART engine.
RANGE METRICS: This section is a "census" of the market's structure. It tells you the total number of ranges identified, how many are still Pending (awaiting a breakout), how many are Unmitigated (active but not yet broken), and how many have been Mitigated (classified and complete).
TYPE BREAKDOWN: This is a powerful gauge of market character. A high count of Type 1 (Breakout) ranges suggests a strong, trending environment. A rising number of Type 2 (Reversal) ranges can signal market exhaustion and potential trend changes. A dominant Type 3 (Pivot) count indicates a balanced, rotational market.
KEY GUIDE: The Large dashboard includes a full legend, so you never have to guess what a line or color represents. It's your built-in user manual.
🎨 DECODING THE BLUEPRINT: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Every line and color in ART is designed for instant, intuitive understanding.
The Range Lines:
Yellow Lines: A Pending range. This is an active zone of accumulation. Pay close attention.
Colored Lines (Blue/Orange/Green): An unmitigated, classified range. The color tells you its breakout character.
Dotted Lines: A Mitigated range. Its story has been told. These historical levels can still act as support or resistance.
The Identification Zones: These colored boxes appear at a range's origin point after it has been classified. They are the "birth certificate" of the range, permanently marking its type (Breakout, Reversal, or Pivot) and providing an immediate visual history of market behavior.
The Hierarchical Lines:
Thick Gold Line (Source): The most important line on your chart. It is the anchor for your bias.
Cyan Lines (S/R): High-probability decision points. Expect reactions here.
Purple Dotted Lines (Extensions): Logical, calculated profit targets for breaking ranges.
🔧 THE ARCHITECT'S VISION: THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
ART was born from a deep frustration with the static and subjective nature of traditional market structure analysis. Drawing lines by hand is inconsistent, and most indicators are reactive, only confirming what has already happened. The goal was to create a proactive, objective, and dynamic framework that could think about the market in terms of phases and lifecycles.
The breakthrough came from a simple shift in perspective: a range's true character isn't defined when it forms, but by how it resolves. This led to the development of the "post-breakout classification engine," which waits for the market to show its hand before assigning a definitive type. The Webb Scanner was inspired by the desire to visualize the unseen, to create a tool that could feel the immediate "pull" and "push" of price flow. The result is not just an indicator; it is a new language for interpreting price action, built on a foundation of logic, clarity, and precision.
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER & BEST PRACTICES
Advanced Range Theory is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to enhance a trader's decision-making process. It does not provide direct buy or sell signals. The levels and classifications it generates are based on historical price action and mathematical probabilities. All trading involves substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this tool in conjunction with a robust risk management plan.
