Next Day Key Levels [Auto-Pivot Suite] RobustNext Day Key Levels
Automatically plot key levels (Floor Pivots) for the next U.S. trading day, with smart session detection.
What does this script do?
Automatically detects the most recent completed U.S. regular trading session (9:30 AM–4:00 PM Eastern) and plots all classic Floor Pivot levels for the next trading day.
Handles Mondays and holidays: Always uses the most recent session’s data, so Friday’s values are shown on Monday, and holidays are skipped seamlessly.
Works in both pre-market and after-hours—levels appear for the next session at the right time.
Levels plotted:
Previous Session High (H)
Previous Session Low (L)
Previous Session Close (C)
Pivot (P)
Resistance 1, 2, 3 (R1, R2, R3)
Support 1, 2, 3 (S1, S2, S3)
How it works
Monitors each bar and tracks session highs/lows/close only during regular market hours.
At the close of each session (4:00 PM ET), saves these values.
In pre-market (before 9:30 AM ET) and after-hours (after 4:00 PM ET), automatically plots levels based on the last completed session—always the correct session, even on Mondays and after holidays.
Why is it better?
No clutter: Only one set of levels per day, drawn cleanly.
Accurate pivots for every next U.S. session.
Zero manual setup: Add to any U.S. ticker, on any intraday timeframe.

Key Features:
Dynamic Price Levels: Lines are calculated relative to the live price, providing relevant support/resistance or structural levels for the current market context.
Customizable Step Value: Easily adjust the Sequence Step Value (e.g., 7, 10, 14) from the indicator settings to align with your trading theory.
Adjustable Line Count: Control the Number of Lines ABOVE Current Price and Number of Lines BELOW Current Price to show as many or as few levels as desired.
Extended Lines: Horizontal lines extend indefinitely to both the left (historical data) and right (future projection) for comprehensive visualization.
Clear Price Labels: Each line displays its exact price value, positioned at the far right of the chart for quick reference.
Customizable Appearance: Modify line color, width, and style (solid, dotted, dashed) to suit your charting preferences.
Exact Values: All displayed price labels are rounded to whole numbers for clear, precise visualization without decimal values.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to apply a fixed-step price theory to their gold analysis.
Momentum Trail Oscillator [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script builds a Momentum Trail Oscillator designed to measure directional momentum strength and dynamically track shifts in trend bias using a combination of smoothed price change calculations and adaptive trailing bands. The oscillator aims to help traders visualize when momentum is expanding or contracting and to identify transitions between bullish and bearish conditions.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core idea combines two methods. First, the script calculates a normalized momentum measure by smoothing price changes relative to their absolute values, which creates a bounded oscillator that highlights whether moves are directional or choppy. Second, it uses a trailing band mechanism inspired by volatility stops, where bands adapt to the oscillator’s volatility, adjusting the thresholds that define a shift in directional bias. This dual approach seeks to address both the magnitude and persistence of momentum, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
🟠 FEATURES
The momentum calculation applies Hull Moving Averages and double EMA smoothing to price changes, producing a smooth, responsive oscillator.
The trailing bands are derived by offsetting a weighted moving average of the oscillator by a multiple of recent momentum volatility. A directional state variable tracks whether the oscillator is above or below the bands, updating when the momentum crosses these dynamic thresholds.
Overbought and oversold zones are visually marked between fixed levels (+30/+40 and -30/-40), with color fills to highlight when momentum is in extreme areas. The script plots signals on both the oscillator pane and optionally overlays markers on the main price chart for clarity.
🟠 USAGE
To use the indicator, apply it to any symbol and timeframe. The “Oscillator Length” controls how sensitive the momentum line is to recent price changes—lower values react faster, higher values smooth out noise. The “Trail Multiplier” sets how far the adaptive bands sit from the oscillator mid-line, which affects how often trend state changes occur. When the momentum line rises into the upper filled area and then crosses back below +40, it signals potential overbought exhaustion. The opposite applies for the oversold zone below -40. The plotted trailing bands switch visibility depending on the current directional state: when momentum is trending up, the lower band acts as the active trailing stop, and when trending down, the upper band becomes active. Trend changes are marked with circular symbols when the direction variable flips, and optional overlay arrows appear on the price chart to highlight overbought or oversold reversals. Traders can combine these signals with their own price action or volume analysis to confirm entries or exits.
Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)Volatility & Momentum Nexus (VMN)
This indicator was designed to solve a common trader's problem: chart clutter from dozens of indicators that often contradict each other. The Volatility & Momentum Nexus ( VMN ) is not just another indicator; it's a complete analysis system that synthesizes four essential market pillars into a single, clean, and intuitive visual signal.
The goal of VMN is to identify high-probability moments where a period of accumulation (low volatility) is about to erupt into an explosive move, confirmed by trend, momentum, and volume.
VMN analyzes the real-time confluence of four critical elements:
The Trend (The Main Filter): A 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sets the overall context. The indicator will only look for buy signals above this line (in an uptrend) and sell signals below it (in a downtrend). The line's color changes for quick visualization.
Volatility (Energy Accumulation): Using Bollinger Bands Width (BBW), the indicator identifies "Squeeze" periods—when the price contracts and builds up energy. These zones are marked with a yellow background on the chart, signaling that a major move is imminent.
Momentum (The Trigger): An RSI (Relative Strength Index) acts as the trigger. A signal is only validated if momentum confirms the direction of the breakout (e.g., RSI > 55 for a buy), ensuring we enter the market with force.
Volume (The Final Confirmation): No breakout move is credible without volume. VMN checks if the volume at the time of the signal is significantly higher than its recent average, adding a vital layer of confirmation.
Green Arrow (Buy Signal): Appears ONLY when ALL the following conditions are met simultaneously:
Price is above the 100 EMA (Bullish Trend).
The chart is exiting a Squeeze zone (yellow background on the previous bar).
Price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band.
RSI is above the buy threshold (default 55).
Volume is above average.
Red Arrow (Sell Signal): Appears ONLY when all the opposite conditions are met.
Do not treat signals as blind commands to trade. They are high-probability confirmations.
Look for signals near key Support/Resistance levels for an even higher success rate.
Always set a Stop Loss (e.g., below the low of the signal candle or below the lower Bollinger Band for a buy).
All parameters (EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands lengths, thresholds, etc.) can be customized from the settings menu to adapt the indicator to any financial asset or timeframe.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for educational and analytical purposes. It does not constitute and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Always perform your own analysis and backtesting before risking real capital.
headmapOverview
Advanced Price-Action Zones is a comprehensive, professional-grade indicator designed to automatically map and visualize the most critical historical price levels on your chart. Moving beyond simple lines, it renders these levels as dynamic, semi-transparent zones, providing an intuitive 'heatmap' of significant support, resistance, and potential liquidity areas.
This tool is built for traders who demand a clean, data-rich chart that adapts in real-time to market movements, with a fully customizable interface for personal tuning.
Core Features
Automated Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically plots the high and low of the previous Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and 12-Hour sessions, forming the backbone of your structural analysis.
Heatmap-Style Visualization: Levels are displayed as colored zones rather than simple lines. This allows you to instantly spot areas of confluence where multiple historical levels overlap, indicating stronger S/R.
Dynamic Daily Highlighting: The most recent previous day's high/low is shown in a primary color (default: yellow). As a new day begins, these zones automatically fade to a distinct historical color (default: grey), keeping your focus on the most relevant and recent price action.
Intraday Liquidity Targets: Temporary 12-hour zones are plotted with "L. Shorts" and "L. Longs" labels, highlighting potential short-term reversal areas or stop-run targets. These zones automatically expire to keep the chart clean.
Daily Range Context: A subtle background fill visualizes the entire range of the previous trading day, extending into the current session to provide immediate context for breakouts or range-bound behavior.
Toggleable Volume Data: Get deeper insights with floating labels showing the volume on the bar that created a key Daily, Weekly, or Monthly level. This feature can be turned on or off in the settings.
Full Customization: Every color for every zone type, background, and text element is fully adjustable via the indicator's input menu.
On-Chart Informative Legend: A clean legend in the top-right corner explains the color-coding and the implied importance of each timeframe.
How to Interpret the Visuals
High-Timeframe Levels (Monthly/Red, Weekly/Orange): Use these major zones to identify significant market turning points, high-probability reversal areas, and logical take-profit targets for swing trades.
Mid-Timeframe Levels (Daily): The yellow zones (most recent) represent the immediate battlefield. A decisive move beyond this area can set the tone for the session. The grey zones provide a historical map of prior daily structures.
Short-Timeframe Levels (12-Hour/Blue): Treat these as intraday targets. They often represent areas where stop-losses and liquidations might be clustered, making them magnets for price in the short term.
Disclaimer & Technical Notes
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or trade signals. All trading involves significant risk.
Technical Note on lookahead: This indicator correctly uses lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on when requesting higher-timeframe data. This is the standard, industry-accepted method to ensure that a completed historical value (e.g., the previous day's high) is plotted consistently and accurately across all chart timeframes. It does not "repaint" in the conventional sense of changing past signals, but rather ensures data stability.

Future is hereOverview
"Future is Here" is an original, multi-faceted Pine Script indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive toolset for identifying high-probability trading opportunities. By integrating volatility-based entry zones, trend-based price targets, momentum confirmation, dynamic support/resistance levels, and risk-reward ratio (RRR) calculations, this indicator offers a cohesive and actionable trading framework. Each feature is carefully designed to complement the others, ensuring a synergistic approach that enhances decision-making across various market conditions. This script is unique in its ability to combine these elements into a single, streamlined interface with clear visual cues and customizable alerts, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features and How They Work Together
Volatility-Based Entry Zones
Purpose: Identifies overbought and oversold conditions using a volatility-adjusted moving average, helping traders spot potential reversal zones.
Mechanism: Utilizes a user-defined volatility length and multiplier to calculate dynamic overbought/oversold thresholds based on the standard deviation of price. Crossovers and crossunders of these levels trigger "Buy Zone" or "Sell Zone" labels.
Synergy: These zones act as the foundation for entry signals, which are later confirmed by momentum and trend filters to reduce false signals.
Trend-Based Price Targets
Purpose: Projects potential price targets based on the prevailing trend, giving traders clear objectives for profit-taking.
Mechanism: Combines a fast and slow moving average to determine trend direction, then calculates target prices using a multiplier of the price deviation from the slow MA. Labels display bullish or bearish targets when the fast MA crosses the slow MA.
Synergy: Works in tandem with entry zones and momentum signals to align targets with market conditions, ensuring traders aim for realistic price levels supported by trend strength.
Momentum Confirmation
Purpose: Validates entry signals by assessing momentum strength, filtering out weak setups.
Mechanism: Uses the momentum indicator to detect bullish or bearish momentum crossovers, labeling them as "Strong" or "Weak" based on a comparison with a smoothed momentum average.
Synergy: Enhances the reliability of buy/sell signals by ensuring momentum aligns with volatility zones and trend direction, reducing the risk of premature entries.
Dynamic Support/Resistance Levels
Purpose: Highlights key price levels where the market is likely to react, aiding in trade planning and risk management.
Mechanism: Detects pivot highs and lows over a user-defined lookback period, drawing horizontal lines for the most recent support and resistance levels (limited to two each for clarity). Labels mark these levels with price values.
Synergy: Complements entry zones and price targets by providing context for potential reversal or continuation points, helping traders set logical stop-losses or take-profits.
Buy/Sell Signals with Risk-Reward Ratios
Purpose: Generates precise buy/sell signals with integrated take-profit (TP), stop-loss (SL), and RRR calculations for disciplined trading.
Mechanism: Combines volatility zone crossovers, trend confirmation, and positive momentum to trigger signals. ATR-based TP and SL levels are calculated, and the RRR is displayed in labels for quick assessment.
Synergy: This feature ties together all previous components, ensuring signals are only generated when volatility, trend, and momentum align, while providing clear risk-reward metrics for trade evaluation.
Customizable Alerts
Purpose: Enables traders to stay informed of trading opportunities without constant chart monitoring.
Mechanism: Alert conditions are set for buy and sell signals, delivering notifications with the entry price for seamless integration into trading workflows.
Synergy: Enhances usability by allowing traders to act on high-probability setups identified by the indicator’s combined logic.
Originality
"Future is Here" is an original creation that distinguishes itself through its holistic approach to technical analysis. Unlike single-purpose indicators, it integrates volatility, trend, momentum, and support/resistance into a unified system, reducing the need for multiple scripts. The inclusion of RRR calculations directly in signal labels is a unique feature that empowers traders to evaluate trade quality instantly. The script’s design emphasizes clarity and efficiency, with cooldowns to prevent label clutter and a limit on support/resistance lines to maintain chart readability. This combination of features, along with its customizable parameters, makes it a versatile and novel tool for traders seeking a robust, all-in-one solution.
How to Use
Setup: Add the indicator to your TradingView chart and adjust input parameters (e.g., Volatility Length, Trend Length, TP/SL Multipliers) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Interpretation:
Look for "Buy Zone" or "Sell Zone" labels to identify potential entry points.
Confirm entries with "Bull Mom" or "Bear Mom" labels and trend direction (Bull/Bear Target labels).
Use Support/Resistance lines to set logical TP/SL levels or anticipate reversals.
Evaluate Buy/Sell signals with TP, SL, and RRR for high-probability trades.
Alerts: Set up alerts for Buy/Sell signals to receive real-time notifications.
Customization: Fine-tune multipliers and lengths to adapt the indicator to different markets (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto) or timeframes.
BTC-OTHERS Liquidity PivotBTC-OTHERS Liquidity Map – 1-hour Multi-Asset Pivot Scanner
WHAT IT DOES
This script tracks liquidity shifts between Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader alt-coin market (the OTHERS market-cap index that excludes the top-10 coins). It labels every confirmed 1-hour swing high or low on both assets, then flags four states:
BearPivot – BTC prints a new swing High while OTHERS does not; liquidity crowds into BTC and alts are weak.
BullPivot – BTC prints a swing Low and OTHERS forms a Higher Low; fresh liquidity starts flowing into stronger alts.
BearCon – BTC prints a swing Low and OTHERS forms a Lower Low; down-trend continuation.
BullCon – No new BTC Low while OTHERS makes a Higher High; up-trend continuation.
Signals appear on the actual pivot bar (offset back by the look-back length), so they never repaint after confirmation.
HOW THE PIVOTS ARE FOUND
• Symmetrical window: “Pivot Len” bars to the left and right (default 21).
• Full confirmation on both sides delivers stable, non-repainting pivots at the cost of about Pivot Len bars’ delay.
• Labels are offset –Pivot Len so they sit on the genuine extreme.
INPUTS
Symbols: BTC symbol and an OTHERS symbol so you can switch exchanges or choose another alt index.
Pivot Len: tighten for faster but noisier signals; widen for cleaner pivots.
Style: customise shape and text colours.
PLOTS AND ALERTS
Four labelled shapes (BearPivot, BullPivot, BearCon, BullCon) plot above or below price. Each label is linked to an alertcondition, so you can create one-click alerts and stay informed without watching the screen.
TYPICAL WORKFLOW
1. Attach the script to any 1-hour BTC chart (or leave the script’s timeframe empty to follow your current chart TF).
2. Turn on alerts to receive push/email notifications.
3. Use the labels as a liquidity compass, combining them with volume, funding or your own strategy for actual entries and exits.
Enjoy and trade safe.

SPX Psych Levels for /ES Futures (Fair Value)Overview
This indicator displays S&P 500 psychological levels adjusted for ES futures fair value premium. These levels act as powerful magnets for price action due to the convergence of technical trading and options market dynamics.
What is Fair Value Premium?
Simply put, its the difference between the SPX price and the ES futures price. This changes dynamically based on interest rate, dividends, and time to expiration.
Why Psych Levels are Increasingly Important
Psychological levels are round numbers where traders naturally place orders. These obvious levels attract stop losses, profit targets, and breakout orders from both retail and institutional traders. Algorithms often target these same levels, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of support and resistance. Importantly, this effect has been exacerbated by the options market.
Using May 2025 as an example, SPX options averaged 3.46 million contracts a day ≈US $1.8 trillion notional, dwarfing trading in SPY or ES/MES futures. 0-day-to-expiry (0DTE) trades hit a record-high 61% share of all SPX volume, making the options complex the primary arena for intraday price discovery.
Strikes at psychological numbers (ending in 00 and 50) captured 66% of total open interest and 58% of 0DTE volume for the entire month. This massive concentration at round number strikes creates powerful hedging flows:
Dealer Gamma Hedging: As price approaches these levels, market makers must dynamically hedge their options exposure, creating reflexive buying/selling pressure
Pin Risk: Options dealers face maximum uncertainty at these levels near expiration, leading to increased hedging activity
Charm Flows: Time decay accelerates near these levels, forcing position adjustments
How It Works
The indicator automatically:
Calculates the fair value premium between ES futures and SPX using real-time interest rate data, dividends, and time to expiration
Adjusts SPX round numbers by this premium to show where they appear on ES charts
Updates once daily at futures session open (5PM CT) to maintain stable reference points throughout the trading session
Key Features
All TradingView Native: All calculations performed automatically using data available within TradingView - no external data feeds or manual updates required
Multiple Level Increments: Display major (100-point), intermediate (50-point), and minor (25-point) psychological levels
Margin of Error Zones: Optional ±2.5 point zones accounting for fair value calculation variance
Full Customization: Colors, line styles, and widths for each level type
Fair Value Info Table: Displays current contract, fair value calculation, interest rate, and days to expiration
Automatic Contract Detection: Works on ES1!/MES1! continuous contracts and automatically detects the current front month contract
Important Notes
This indicator does not access any options data. It identifies levels where options activity naturally concentrates based on market structure. The power comes from understanding that these obvious levels create predictable dealer hedging flows, making them high-probability reaction zones.
Trading Applications
These levels can be used as dynamic areas of interest to be incorporated into a complete trading strategy.
Momentum Trajectory Suite📈 Momentum Trajectory Suite
🟢 Overview
Momentum Trajectory Suite is a multi-faceted indicator designed to help traders evaluate trend direction, volatility conditions, and behavioral sentiment in a single consolidated view.
By combining a customizable Trajectory EMA, adaptive Bollinger Bands, and a Greed vs. Fear heatmap, this tool empowers traders to identify directional bias, measure momentum strength, and spot potential reversals or continuation setups.
🧠 Concept
This indicator merges three classic techniques:
Trend Analysis: Trajectory EMA highlights the prevailing directional momentum by smoothing price action over a customizable period.
Volatility Envelopes: Bollinger Bands adapt to dynamic price swings, showing overbought/oversold extremes and periods of contraction or expansion.
Behavioral Sentiment: A Greed vs. Fear heatmap combines RSI and MACD Histogram readings to visualize when markets are dominated by buying enthusiasm or selling pressure.
The combination is designed to help traders interpret market context more effectively than using any single component alone.
🛠️ How to Use the Indicator
Trajectory EMA:
Use the blue EMA line to assess overall trend direction.
Price closing above the EMA may indicate bullish momentum; closing below may indicate bearish bias.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Green circles appear when price crosses above the EMA (potential long entry).
Red circles appear when price crosses below the EMA (potential exit or short entry).
Bollinger Bands:
Monitor upper/lower bands for overbought and oversold price extremes.
Narrowing bands may signal upcoming volatility expansion.
Greed vs. Fear Heatmap:
Green histogram bars indicate bullish sentiment when RSI exceeds 60 and MACD Histogram is positive.
Red histogram bars indicate bearish sentiment when RSI is below 40 and MACD Histogram is negative.
Gray bars indicate neutral or mixed conditions.
Background Color Zones:
The chart background shifts to green when EMA slope is positive and red when negative, providing quick directional cues.
All inputs are adjustable in settings, including EMA length, Bollinger Band parameters, and oscillator configurations.
📊 Interpretation
Bullish Conditions:
Price above the Trajectory EMA, background green, and Greed heatmap active.
May signal trend continuation and increased buying pressure.
Bearish Conditions:
Price below the Trajectory EMA, background red, and Fear heatmap active.
May signal momentum breakdown or potential continuation to the downside.
Volatility Clues:
Wide Bollinger Bands = trending, volatile market.
Narrow Bollinger Bands = low volatility and possible breakout setup.
Signal Confirmation:
Consider combining signals (e.g., EMA crossover + Greed/Fear heatmap + Bollinger Band touch) for higher-confidence entries.
📝 Notes
The script does not repaint or use future data.
Suitable for multiple timeframes (intraday to daily).
May be combined with other confirmation tools or price action analysis.

Pristine Value Areas & MGIThe Pristine Value Areas indicator enables users to perform comprehensive technical analysis through the lens of the market profile in a fraction of the time! 🏆
A Market Profile is a charting technique devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), in the 1980's. He created it to gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and to analyze the auction process in financial markets. A market profile is used to analyze an auction using price, volume, and time to create a distribution-based view of trading activity. It organizes market data into a bell-curve-like structure, which reveals areas of value, balance, and imbalance.
💠 How is a Value Area Calculated?
A value area is a distribution of 68%-70% of the trading volume over a specific time interval, which represents one standard deviation above and below the point of control, which is the most highly traded level over that period.
The key reference points are as follows:
Value area low (VAL) - The lower boundary of a value area
Value area high (VAH) - The upper boundary of a value area
Point of Control (POC) - The price level at which the highest amount of a trading period's volume occurred
If we take the probability distribution of trading activity and flip it 90 degrees, the result is our Pristine Value Area!
Market Profile is our preferred method of technical analysis at Pristine Capital because it provides an objective and repeatable assessment of whether an asset is being accumulated or distributed by institutional investors. Market Profile levels work remarkably well for identifying areas of interest, because so many institutional trading algorithms have been programmed to use these levels since the 1980's!
The benefits of using Market Profile include better trade location, improved risk management, and enhanced market context. It helps traders differentiate between trending and consolidating markets, identify high-probability trade setups, and adjust their strategies based on whether the market is in balance (consolidation) or imbalance (trending). Unlike traditional indicators that rely on past price movements, Market Profile provides real-time insights into trader behavior, giving an edge to those who can interpret its nuances effectively.
Virgin Point of Control (VPOC) - A point of control from a previous time period that has not yet been revisited in subsequent periods. VPOCs are great for identifying prior supply or demand zones.
Below is a great example of price reversing lower after taking out an upside VPOC
💠 Are all POCs Created Equal?
If POCs are used to gauge supply & demand zones at key levels, then a POC with higher volume should be viewed as more significant than a POC that traded lower volume, right? We created Golden POCs as a tool to identify high volume POCs on all timeframes.
Golden POC (GPOC) - A POC that traded the highest volume compared to prior POCs (proprietary to Pristine Capital)
We calculate value areas for the following time intervals based on the user selected timeframe:
5 Minute and 15 Minute Timeframes -> Daily Value Area
The daily value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR session's trading activity. The "d" in the label references for VAHd, POCd and VALd is a visual cue that value area shown is daily.
1 Hour Timeframe -> Weekly Value Area
The weekly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR week's trading activity. The "w" in the label references for VAHw, POCw and VALw is a visual cue that value area shown is weekly.
1 Day Timeframe -> Monthly Value Area
The monthly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR month's trading activity. The "m" in the label references for VAHm, POCm and VALm is a visual cue that value area shown is monthly.
1 Week Timeframe -> Yearly Value Area
The yearly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR year's trading activity. The "y" in the label references for VAHy, POCy and VALy is a visual cue that value area shown is yearly.
💠 What is a developing value area?
The developing value area provides insight into the upcoming value area while it is still forming! It appears when 80% of the way through the current value area. As the end of a trading period approaches, it can make sense to start trading off the developing value area. When the time period flips, the developing value area becomes the active value area!
💠 Value Areas Trading Setups
Two popular market profile concepts are the bullish and bearish 80% rules. The concept is that there is an 80% probability that the market will traverse the entire relevant value area.
Bullish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period below the value area low , and subsequently closes above it, the bullish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area green. One can trade for a move to the top of the value area, using a close below the value area low as a potential stop!
In the below example, HOOD triggered the bullish 80% rule after it reclaimed the monthly value area!
HOOD proceeded to rally through the monthly value area and beyond in subsequent trading sessions. Finding the first stocks to trigger the bullish 80% rule after a market correction is key for spotting the next market leaders!
Bearish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period above the value area high , and subsequently closes below it, the bearish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area red. One can trade for a move to the bottom of the value area, using a close above the value area high as a potential stop!
ES proceeded to follow through and test the value area low before trending below the weekly value area
Value Area Breakouts - When a security is inside of value, the auction is in balance. When it breaks out from a value area, it could be entering a period of price discovery. One can trade these breaks out of value with tight risk control by setting a stop inside the value area! These breakouts can be traded on all chart timeframes depending on the timeframe of the individual trader. Combining multiple timeframes can result in even more effective trading setups.
RBLX broke out from the monthly value area on 4/22/25👇
RBLX proceeded to rally +62.78% in 39 trading sessions following the monthly VAH breakout!
💠 Market Generated Information to Improve Your Situational Awareness!
In addition to the value areas, we've also included stat tables with useful market generated information. The stats displayed vary based on the timeframe the user has up on their screen. This incentivizes traders to check the chart on multiple timeframes before taking a trade!

▪ LODx - Low-of-day extension - ATR % multiple from the low of day (measures how extended a stock is from its low of day)
▪ MAx - Moving average extension - ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average (measures how extended a security is from its moving average). Default moving average = 50D SMA
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average. The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.

💠 Trend Analysis
The Trend Analysis section consists of short-term and long-term stage analysis data as well as the value area timeframe and price in relation to the value area.
Stage Analysis
▪ ST ⇅ - Short-term stage analysis indicator
▪ LT ⇅ - Long-term stage analysis indicator
Short-term and long-term stage analysis data is provided in the two rightmost columns of each table. The columns are labeled ST ⇅ and LT ⇅.
Why is Stage Analysis important? Popularized by Stan Weinstein, stage analysis is a trend following system that classifies assets into four stages based on price-trend analysis.
The problem? The interpretation of stage analysis is highly subjective. Based on the methodology provided in Stan Weinstein’s books, five different traders could look at the same chart, and come to different conclusions as to which stage the security is in!
We solved for this by creating our own methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. This indicator automates that analysis, and produces short-term and long-term trend signals based on user-defined key moving averages. You won’t find this in any textbook or course, because it’s completely unique to the Pristine trading methodology.
Our indicator calculates a short-term trend signal using two moving averages; a fast moving average, and a slow moving average. We default to the 10D EMA as the fast moving average & the 20D SMA as the slow moving average. A trend signal is generated based on where price is currently trading with respect to the fast moving average and the slow moving average. We use the signal to guide shorter-term swing trades.
In general, we want to take long trades in stocks with strengthening trends, and short trades in stocks with weakening trends. The user is free to change the moving averages based on their own short-term timeframe. Every trader is unique!
The same process is applied to calculate the long-term trend signal. We default to the 50D SMA as our fast moving average, and the 200D SMA as the slow moving average for the LT ⇅ signal calculation, but users can change these to fit their own unique trading style.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 identifies stocks that transitioned from downtrends, into bottoming bases.
Stage 1A - Bottom Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of recovery after a downtrend, with early indications of strength emerging.👇
Stage 1B - Bottoming Process: Identifies the ongoing phase where the security continues to stabilize and strengthen, confirming the base-building process after the initial signal.👇
Stage 1R - Failed Uptrend: Detects when a security that had entered an early uptrend loses momentum and slips back into a bottoming phase, signaling a failed breakout.👇
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 identifies stocks that transitioned from bottoming bases to uptrends.
Stage 2A - Breakout: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks out, signaling the start of a new uptrend.👇
Stage 2B - Uptrend: Identifies when the security continues to trade in an established uptrend following the initial breakout, with momentum building but not yet showing full strength.👇
Stage 2C - Strong Uptrend: Detects when the uptrend strengthens further, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating strength and buying pressure.👇
Stage 2R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had recently entered a corrective phase reverses course and reclaims its upward trajectory, moving back into an uptrend.👇
What is Stage 3?
Stage 3 identifies stocks that transitioned from uptrends to topping bases.
Stage 3A - Top Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of weakness after an uptrend, indicating the start of a potential topping phase.👇
Stage 3B - Topping Process: Identifies the period following the initial signal when the security continues to show signs of distribution and potential trend exhaustion.👇
Stage 3R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had entered a deeper corrective phase reverses upward, recovering enough strength to re-enter the topping phase.👇
What is Stage 4?
Stage 4 identifies stocks that transitioned from topping bases to downtrends.
Stage 4A - Breakdown: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks below key support levels, signaling the start of a new downward trend.👇
Stage 4B - Downtrend: Identifies when the security continues to trend lower following the initial breakdown, with sustained bearish momentum, though not yet fully entrenched.👇
Stage 4C - Strong Downtrend: Detects when the downtrend intensifies, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating weakness and selling pressure.👇
Stage 4R - Failed Bottom: Detects when a security that had begun to show early signs of bottoming reverses course and resumes its decline, falling back into a downtrend.👇
Stage N/A - Recent IPO: Applies to stocks that recently IPO’ed and don’t have enough data to calculate all necessary moving averages.
Value Area
In Trend Analysis, the value area information is helpful to gauge price in relation to the value area.
▪ VA(y) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the yearly value area
▪ VA(m) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the monthly value area
▪ VA(w) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the weekly value area
Value area states:
▪ ABOVE = Price above the value area high
▪ BELOW = Price below the value area low
▪ INSIDE = Price inside the value area
▪ Bull 80% = Bullish 80% rule in effect
▪ Bear 80% rule = Bearish 80% rule in effect
For example, in the chart above, VA(m) - ABOVE indicates a monthly value area and price is above the VAH.
💠 What Makes This Indicator Unique
There are many value area indicators, however...
Value Area
▪ Golden POC (GPOC) - This is a proprietary concept.
▪ Unique Label Customization
Pristine value areas often comprehensive and unique label customizations. Styles include options to display any combination of the following on your labels:
• Price levels associated with market profile levels
• % distance of market profile levels from security price
• ATR% extension of market profile levels from security price
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Based on the chart timeframe, unique market generated information is shown to facilitate multi-timeframe analysis.
▪ Weekly Timeframe
On the weekly timeframe the focus is the bigger picture and the metrics reflect this perspective. Performance data includes YTD Alpha and YTD percent change in price. Volatility is measured using ATR % and the industry standard beta. Trend analysis for this higher timeframe include the 52-week range, which measures where a security is trading in relation to its 52wk high and 52wk low. Also included is the where price is in relation to yearly value area.
▪ Daily Timeframe
As one drills down to the daily timeframe, the performance metrics include MTD alpha and MTD percent change in price.
Risk analysis includes the low-of-day extension (LODx), which is the ATR % multiple from the low of the day, to measures how extended a stock is from its low of day. In addition, the moving average extension (MAx) is the ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average, measures how extended a security is from its
moving average. The default moving average is the 50D SMA, however this can be customized in Settings.
Trend Analysis on the daily timeframe includes the Pristine Capital methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. Both short-term and long-term stage analysis data is included. Finally, price in relation to monthly value area is shown.
▪ Hourly Timeframe
An the hourly timeframe, performance metrics include WTD alpha and WTD percent change in price. Trend analysis includes the daily closing range (DCR) and price in relation to weekly value area.

The indicator automatically sorts from greatest to least based on the %Δ column 👇
What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems that measures security volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for a time period.
Why do we use it?
Because converting price moves into ATR terms better contextualizes them relative to the asset's historical volatility!
Example: If the ATR is $2.50, it means the average price range each day is roughly $2.50.
We use an ATR length of 20 days in our calculation, and convert the 20D ATR into a 20D ATR %. The formula for ATR % is as follows:
ATR % = (ATR/Current Price) * 100
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average.The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.
Identifying an extreme price extension using MAx 👇
Price mean reverted immediately following the high MAx 👇
Why does 52WR matter?
Historical analysis conducted by market legends like William O’Neill and Mark Minervini indicates that stocks trading at or near 52wk highs tend to outperform over time, and vice versa for stocks trading close to 52wk lows. Avoiding stocks trading with a low 52WR metric can help traders avoid buying stocks in downtrends. Likewise, focusing on stocks trading with a high 52WR provides a technical edge.

Mongoose Conflict Risk Radar v1.1 (Separate Panel) description
The Mongoose Capital: Risk Rotation Index is a macro market sentiment tool designed to detect elevated risk conditions by aggregating signals across key asset classes.
This script evaluates trend strength across 8 ETFs representing major risk-on and risk-off flows:
GLD – Gold
VIXY – Volatility
TLT – Long-Term Bonds
SPY – S&P 500
UUP – U.S. Dollar Index
EEM – Emerging Markets
SLV – Silver
FXI – China Large-Cap
Each asset is assigned a binary signal based on price position vs. its 21-period SMA (or a crossover for bonds). The signals are then totaled into a composite Risk Rotation Score, plotted as a bar graph.
How to Use
0–2 = Low risk-on behavior
3–4 = Caution / Mixed regime
5–8 = Elevated conflict or macro stress
Use this as a macro confirmation layer for trend entries, risk reduction, or allocation shifts.
Alerts
Set alerts when the index exceeds 5 to track major rotations into defensive assets.
Liquidity Point LinesLiquidity Point Lines
The "Liquidity Point Lines" indicator helps traders identify potential areas of liquidity in the market by drawing lines at specific price levels where significant "liquidation events" may have occurred. These events are determined by analyzing the MACD Histogram and identifying pivot points that suggest strong movements, which are often associated with the flushing out of short or long positions.
How It Works
This indicator leverages the MACD Histogram to gauge the strength of price momentum. It then identifies pivot highs and lows within the MACD Histogram's values. When a significant pivot is detected, the indicator interprets this as a potential "liquidity point" — a price level where a substantial amount of buy or sell orders (often due to liquidations) may have been executed.
The indicator distinguishes between:
Shorts Liquidation Points (Resistance): These are identified when the MACD Histogram registers a pivot high, suggesting a strong upward movement that could have liquidated short positions. Lines are drawn at the high price of the bar where this pivot occurred.
Longs Liquidation Points (Support): Conversely, these are identified when the MACD Histogram registers a pivot low, indicating a strong downward movement that might have liquidated long positions. Lines are drawn at the low price of the bar where this pivot occurred.
Key Features and Settings
The "Liquidity Point Lines" indicator offers extensive customization to tailor its sensitivity and visual representation:
MACD Settings for Liquidity: Configure the underlying MACD calculation with adjustable Fast Length, Slow Length, Source, Signal Smoothing, and MA Types (SMA/EMA) for both the Oscillator and Signal Line.
Liquidity Points Settings:
Pivot Lookback Left/Right: Define the number of bars to look back on either side to identify a pivot in the MACD Histogram.
Dynamic Strength Thresholds: This powerful feature allows the indicator to dynamically calculate the significance of a liquidation event. When enabled, it uses the average absolute histogram value over a specified Dynamic Threshold Lookback Period and applies Small and Medium Threshold Factors to determine the strength (Small, Medium, or Large) of the liquidity point.
Fixed Strength Thresholds: If dynamic thresholds are disabled, you can set fixed numerical values for Small and Medium Histogram Thresholds to define the strength categories.
Color & Style Customization: Assign distinct colors for Small, Medium, and Large liquidation points, choose the Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and set the Label Text Color.
Label X Offset (To Right): Adjust the horizontal position of the liquidity point labels on your chart.
Liquidity Points Management:
Max Active Liquidity Lines: Control the maximum number of liquidity lines displayed simultaneously on your chart. Older lines are automatically removed to maintain clarity, except for lines that have been "touched" (i.e., price has interacted with that liquidity level).
Visual Interpretation
Each liquidity line is colored according to the strength of the detected liquidation event, making it easy to visually assess the potential significance of the price level. Lines extend to the right, serving as ongoing reference points. When the price interacts with a liquidity line (i.e., "touches" it), the line and its corresponding label are removed, indicating that the liquidity at that level may have been absorbed.
This indicator can be a valuable tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels, understanding market reactions to "liquidation cascades," and informing your trading decisions.
True Close – Institutional Trading Sessions (Zeiierman)█ Overview
True Close – Institutional Trading Sessions (Zeiierman) is a professional-grade session mapping tool designed to help traders align with how institutions perceive the market’s true close. Unlike the textbook “daily close” used by retail traders, institutional desks often anchor their risk management, execution benchmarks, and exposure metrics to the first hour of the next session.
This indicator visualizes that logic directly on your chart — drawing session boxes, true close levels, and time-aligned labels across Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York. It highlights the first hour of each session, projects the institutional closing price, and builds a live dashboard that tells you which sessions are active, which are in the critical opening phase, and what levels matter most right now.
More than just a visual tool, this indicator embeds institutional rhythm directly into your workflow — giving you a window into where big players finalize yesterday’s business, rebalance exposure, and execute delayed orders. It’s not just about painting sessions on your chart — it’s about adopting the mindset of those who truly move the market. Institutions don’t settle risk at the bell; they complete it in the next session. This tool lets you see that transition in real time, giving you an edge that goes beyond candles and indicators.
█ How It Works
⚪ Session Detection Engine
Each session is identified by its own time block (e.g., 09:00–17:30 for London). Once a session opens:
A full-session box is drawn to track its range.
The first hour is highlighted separately.
Once the first hour completes, the true close line is plotted, representing the price institutions often treat as the "real" close of the prior day.
⚪ Institutional True Close Logic
The script captures the close of the first hour, not the end of the day.
This line becomes a static reference across your chart, letting you visualize how price interacts with that institutional anchor:
Rejections from it show where yesterday's flow is respected.
Breaks through it may indicate that today's flows are rewriting the narrative.
⚪ Dynamic Dashboard Table
A live table appears in the corner of your screen, showing:
Each session's active status
Whether we’re inside the first hour
The current “true close” price if available
Each cell comes with advanced tooltips giving institutional context, flow dynamics, and market microstructure insights — from rebalancing spillovers to VWAP/TWAP lag effects.
█ How to Use
⚪ Use the First-Hour Line as Your Institutional Anchor
Treat it like the price level that big funds care about. Watch how the price behaves around level. Fades, re-tests, or continuation moves often occur as the market finishes recapping yesterday’s leftover orders.
⚪ Structure Entries Around the Session Context
Are you inside the first hour? Expect more volatility, more decisive flow. After the first session hour, expect fading liquidity as the market slows down and awaits the next session to open.
█ Settings
UTC Offset – Select your preferred time zone; all sessions adjust accordingly.
Session Toggles – Enable/disable Sydney, Tokyo, London, or NY.
Box Display Options – Show/hide session background, first-hour fill, borders.
True Close Line Controls – Enable line, label, and customize width & color.
Execution Hour Labels – Optional toggle for first-hour label placement.
