TrendBoxThis indicator is called "TrendBox," designed to help traders analyze daily price ranges using several technical indicators. Below is a breakdown of its functionality, purpose, and key components:
Purpose
The script overlays indicators on a chart to assess whether the price is above or below key levels and moving in a trend.
VIX-based expected range (index fund targeted)
- This helps calculate the expected dealers range based on VIX implications. You can expect to see ranges be bought on and sold on. Moving outside this range creates heightened volatility and most of the time a gamma squeeze follows.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
- This allows you to understand the mid point or average pricing of the daily session. If you're paying a premium or getting a discount on the daily session.
Daily Market Open
- Identifying the market open price is a key level on a daily session and allows you to identify some level of intraday trend.
Daily 4-period VWMA
- This is a crucial role of our indicator and showing short term time frame bias. Seeing price move over the top of our daily 4 level establishes a short term trend and can be used as a distribution guide, closing positions when we see longer time frame candles close under it. Vice versa for shorting.
It also displays a status box (optional) summarizing whether the price is above or below these levels, helping traders quickly evaluate market conditions.

The TTM Squeeze Value Oscillator converts the popular TTM Squeeze indicator into a screenable format by outputting specific numerical values and binary signals (1 or 0) that can be filtered in TradingView's screener tool.
Key Features
1. TTM Squeeze Compression Levels
Value 0: Low Compression (Black) - Bollinger Bands inside outer Keltner Channels
Value 1: Mid Compression (Red) - Bollinger Bands inside middle Keltner Channels
Value 2: High Compression (Orange) - Bollinger Bands inside inner Keltner Channels
Value 3: Squeeze Fired (Green) - Bollinger Bands outside Keltner Channels
2. Momentum Analysis
Four distinct momentum conditions based on TTM Squeeze methodology:
Buy Momentum Increasing - Positive momentum growing stronger
Buy Momentum Decreasing - Positive momentum weakening
Sell Momentum Increasing - Negative momentum growing stronger
Sell Momentum Decreasing - Negative momentum weakening
3. EMA Stacking Analysis
Three EMA alignment patterns using 8, 21, and 48 period EMAs:
EMA Stacked Bullish - 8 EMA > 21 EMA > 48 EMA (uptrend alignment)
EMA Stacked Bearish - 8 EMA < 21 EMA < 48 EMA (downtrend alignment)
EMA Mixed - EMAs not in clear bullish or bearish alignment
4. Consecutive Day Counters
Tracks how many consecutive days each squeeze condition has persisted:
Low Compression Days
Mid Compression Days
High Compression Days
Squeeze Fired Days
5. Combined Signal Analysis
Pre-calculated combinations of squeeze conditions with momentum:
All squeeze levels combined with all four momentum conditions

Order Blocks v2Order Blocks v2 – Smart OB Detection with Time & FVG Filters
Order Blocks v2 is an advanced tool designed to identify potential institutional footprints in the market by dynamically plotting bullish and bearish order blocks.
This indicator refines classic OB logic by combining:
Fractal-based break conditions
Time-level filtering (Power of 3)
Optional Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation
Real-time plotting and auto-invalidation
Perfect for traders using ICT, Smart Money, or algorithmic timing models like Hopplipka.
🧠 What the indicator does
Detects order blocks after break of bullish/bearish fractals
Supports 3-bar or 5-bar fractal structures
Allows OB detection based on close breaks or high/low breaks
Optionally confirms OBs only if followed by a Fair Value Gap within N candles
Filters OBs based on specific time levels (3, 7, 11, 14) — core anchors in many algorithmic models
Automatically deletes invalidated OBs once price closes through the zone
⚙️ How it works
The indicator:
Tracks local fractal highs/lows
Once a fractal is broken by price, it backtracks to identify the best OB candle (highest bullish or lowest bearish)
Validates the level by checking:
OB type logic (close or HL break)
Time stamp match with algorithmic time anchors (e.g. 3, 7, 11, 14 – known from the Power of 3 concept)
Optional FVG confirmation after OB
Plots OB zones as lines (body or wick-based) and removes them if invalidated by a candle close
This ensures traders see only valid, active levels — removing noise from broken or out-of-context zones.
🔧 Customization
Choose 3-bar or 5-bar fractals
OB detection type: close break or HL break
Enable/disable OBs only on times 3, 7, 11, 14 (Hopplipka style)
Optional: require nearby FVG for validation
Line style: solid, dashed, or dotted
Adjust OB length, width, color, and use body or wick for OB height
🚀 How to use it
Add the script to your chart
Choose your preferred OB detection mode and filters
Use plotted OB zones to:
Anticipate price rejections and reversals
Validate Smart Money or ICT-based entry zones
Align setups with algorithmic time sequences (3, 7, 11, 14)
Filter out invalid OBs automatically, keeping your chart clean
The tool is useful on any timeframe but performs best when combined with a liquidity-based or time-anchored trading model.
💡 What makes it original
Combines fractal logic with OB confirmation and time anchors
Implements time-based filtering inspired by Hopplipka’s interpretation of the "Power of 3"
Allows OB validation via optional FVG follow-up — rarely available in public indicators
Auto-cleans invalidated OBs to reduce clutter
Designed to reflect market structure logic used by institutions and algorithms
💬 Why it’s worth using
Order Blocks v2 simplifies one of the most nuanced parts of SMC: identifying clean and high-probability OBs.
It removes subjectivity, adds clear timing logic, and integrates optional confluence tools — like FVG.
For traders serious about algorithmic-level structure and clean setups, this tool delivers both logic and clarity.
⚠️ Important
This indicator:
Is not a signal generator or financial advice tool
Is intended for experienced traders using OB/SMC/time-based logic

Rolling 250-Day Sharpe RatioThis Pine Script indicator, “Rolling 250-Day Sharpe Ratio”, computes the trailing Sharpe Ratio for any traded asset over a 250-session window, equivalent to approximately one trading year. The script first derives daily log returns and adjusts them by subtracting the daily equivalent of the 3-month US Treasury yield to obtain the excess return. It then calculates the rolling mean and standard deviation of these excess returns to produce the annualized Sharpe Ratio, which is displayed as a continuous time series on the chart. This allows traders and analysts to assess how the asset’s risk-adjusted performance evolves over time relative to a risk-free benchmark.
A persistently high Sharpe Ratio can indicate strong risk-adjusted returns, but it is essential to approach extreme values with caution. Elevated Sharpe readings can sometimes reflect unsustainable trends, excessive leverage, or periods of unusually low volatility that may revert abruptly. Conversely, a low or negative Sharpe Ratio does not automatically imply an asset should be avoided; it might signal an opportunity if the risk environment normalizes.
Market Shift Levels [ChartPrime]Market Shift Levels
This indicator detects trend shifts and visualizes key market structure turning points using Hull Moving Average logic. It highlights potential areas of support and resistance where price is likely to react, empowering traders to spot early trend transitions.
Market Shift Levels are horizontal zones that mark the moment of a directional change in market behavior. These shifts are based on crossovers between two smoothed Hull Moving Averages (HMA), allowing the indicator to detect potential reversals with minimal lag.
Once a shift is detected:
A dashed horizontal Market Shift Level is plotted at the low (for bullish shift) or high (for bearish shift) of the candle.
These levels often become key reaction points during pullbacks and trend retests.
Volume or price labels are added when price wicks into these levels, helping traders gauge the strength of rejection or acceptance.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Uses HMA-based logic to detect when price momentum shifts.
Plots clean Market Shift Levels (MSLs) that act as dynamic support and resistance.
Automatically colors bars and candles based on the price positioning relative to levels.
Labels wick-based retests with either:
Volume data of the 3-bar cluster (default).
Price level if toggled.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Look for trend shifts where the HMA crossover triggers a new level — this marks a possible structural pivot .
Use the horizontal level as a dynamic support or resistance zone — especially when price returns with wick rejections.
Watch for volume labels near the level — higher values signal stronger rejection and potential continuation.
Combine with confluence tools like Smart Money concepts or Fibonacci levels for added edge.
⯁ EXAMPLE SETUPS
After a bullish shift, wait for price to return and wick into the level — if volume spikes and candle closes strong, it’s a retest confirmation entry .
After a bearish shift, bearish wick rejections with volume may signal short re-entry zones .
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Market Shift Levels indicator offers a visual and data-backed approach to spotting trend reversals and critical retest zones. It’s a simple yet powerful tool to structure your trades around objective, repeatable market behavior — all in real-time.

Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A smart volume-powered tool for identifying key support and resistance zones—enhanced with real-time volume histogram fills and high-volume markers.
Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels detects structural levels from swing highs and lows, and wraps them in dynamic histograms that reflect the relative volume strength around those zones. It highlights the strongest price levels not just by structure—but by the weight of market participation.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Price Zones: Support and resistance levels are drawn from recent price pivots, while volume is used to visually enhance these zones with filled histograms and highlight moments of peak activity using markers.
Histogram Fill = Activity Zone: The width and intensity of each filled zone adjusts to recent volume bursts.
High-Volume Alerts: Circle markers highlight moments of volume dominance directly on the levels—revealing pressure points of support/resistance.
Clean Visual Encoding: Red = resistance zones, green = support zones, orange = high-volume bars.
🔵 FEATURES
Detects pivot-based resistance (highs) and support (lows) using a customizable range length.
Wraps these levels in volume-weighted bands that expand/contract based on percentile volume.
Color fill intensity increases with rising volume pressure, creating a live histogram feel.
When volume > user-defined threshold , the indicator adds circle markers at the top and bottom of that price level zone.
Bar coloring highlights the candles that generated this high-volume behavior (orange by default).
Adjustable settings for all thresholds and colors, so traders can dial in volume sensitivity.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify volume-confirmed resistance and support zones for potential reversal or breakout setups.
Focus on levels with intense histogram fill and circle markers —they indicate strong participation.
Use bar coloring to track when key activity started and align it with broader market context.
Works well in combination with order blocks, trend indicators, or liquidity zones.
Ideal for day traders, scalpers, and volume-sensitive setups.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels elevates traditional support and resistance logic by anchoring it in volume context. Instead of relying solely on price action, it gives traders insight into where real conviction lies—by mapping how aggressively the market defended or rejected key levels. It's a visual, reactive, and volume-conscious upgrade to your structural toolkit.
VegaAlgo – Rating ViewVegaAlgo – Rating View is a market condition analysis tool designed to evaluate the current price structure.
The indicator calculates a RATING (from 0 to 100) that reflects how clean, directional, and structured the recent price movement is. The rating is based on the number of price direction changes (from bullish to bearish candles and vice versa) within a selected period. Fewer direction changes indicate a clearer trend and result in a higher rating, while a choppy or highly volatile market leads to a lower score.
Additionally, the indicator provides directional signals on three key timeframes — 1M, 5M, and 15M, using a comparison of fast and slow moving averages. This allows traders to quickly assess the dominant trend both locally and across higher timeframes.
This script is intended for visual market analysis only and should not be considered financial advice.
Options Strategy V1.3📈 Options Strategy V1.3 — EMA Crossover + RSI + ATR + Opening Range
Overview:
This strategy is designed for short-term directional trades on large-cap stocks or ETFs, especially when trading options. It combines classic trend-following signals with momentum confirmation, volatility-based risk management, and session timing filters to help identify high-probability entries with predefined stop-loss and profit targets.
🔍 Strategy Components:
EMA Crossover (Fast/Slow)
Entry signals are triggered by the crossover of a short EMA above or below a long EMA — a traditional trend-following method to detect shifts in momentum.
RSI Filter
RSI confirms the signal by avoiding entries in overbought/oversold zones unless certain momentum conditions are met.
Long entry requires RSI ≥ Long Threshold
Short entry requires RSI ≤ Short Threshold
ATR-Based SL & TP
Stop-loss is set dynamically as a multiple of ATR below (long) or above (short) the entry price.
Take-profit is placed as a ratio (TP/SL) of the stop distance, ensuring consistent reward/risk structure.
Opening Range Filter (Optional)
If enabled, the strategy only triggers trades after price breaks out of the 09:30–09:45 EST range, ensuring participation in directional moves.
Session Filters
No trades from 04:00 to 09:30 and from 16:00 to 20:00 EST, avoiding low-liquidity periods.
All open trades are closed at 15:55 EST, to avoid overnight risk or expiration issues for options.

Contrarian RSIContrarian RSI Indicator
Pairs nicely with Contrarian 100 MA (optional hide/unhide buy/sell signals)
Description
The Contrarian RSI is a momentum-based technical indicator designed to identify potential reversal points in price action by combining a unique RSI calculation with a predictive range model inspired by the "Contrarian 5 Levels" logic. Unlike traditional RSI, which measures price momentum based solely on price changes, this indicator integrates a smoothed, weighted momentum calculation and predictive price ranges to generate contrarian signals. It is particularly suited for traders looking to capture reversals in trending or range-bound markets.
This indicator is versatile and can be used across various timeframes, though it performs best on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, or Daily) due to reduced noise and more reliable signals. Lower timeframes may require additional testing and careful parameter tuning to optimize performance.
How It Works
The Contrarian RSI combines two primary components:
Predictive Ranges (5 Levels Logic): This calculates a smoothed price average that adapts to market volatility using an ATR-based mechanism. It helps identify significant price levels that act as potential support or resistance zones.
Contrarian RSI Calculation: A modified RSI calculation that uses weighted momentum from the predictive ranges to measure buying and selling pressure. The result is smoothed and paired with a user-defined moving average to generate clear signals.
The indicator generates buy (long) and sell (exit) signals based on crossovers and crossunders of user-defined overbought and oversold levels, making it ideal for contrarian trading strategies.
Calculation Overview
Predictive Ranges (5 Levels Logic):
Uses a custom function (pred_ranges) to calculate a dynamic price average (avg) based on the ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by a user-defined factor (mult).
The average adjusts only when the price moves beyond the ATR threshold, ensuring responsiveness to significant price changes while filtering out noise.
This calculation is performed on a user-specified timeframe (tf5Levels) for multi-timeframe analysis.
Contrarian RSI:
Compares consecutive predictive range values to calculate gains (g) and losses (l) over a user-defined period (crsiLength).
Applies a Gaussian weighting function (weight = math.exp(-math.pow(i / crsiLength, 2))) to prioritize recent price movements.
Computes a "wave ratio" (net_momentum / total_energy) to normalize momentum, which is then scaled to a 0–100 range (qrsi = 50 + 50 * wave_ratio).
Smooths the result with a 2-period EMA (qrsi_smoothed) for stability.
Moving Average:
Applies a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, or VWMA) with a customizable length (maLength) to the smoothed RSI (qrsi_smoothed) to generate the final indicator value (qrsi_ma).
Signal Generation:
Long Entry: Triggered when qrsi_ma crosses above the oversold level (oversoldLevel, default: 1).
Long Exit: Triggered when qrsi_ma crosses below the overbought level (overboughtLevel, default: 99).
Entry and Exit Rules
Long Entry: Enter a long position when the Contrarian RSI (qrsi_ma) crosses above the oversold level (default: 1). This suggests the asset is potentially oversold and due for a reversal.
Long Exit: Exit the long position when the Contrarian RSI (qrsi_ma) crosses below the overbought level (default: 99), indicating a potential overbought condition and a reversal to the downside.
Customization: Adjust overboughtLevel and oversoldLevel to fine-tune sensitivity. Lower timeframes may benefit from tighter levels (e.g., 20 for oversold, 80 for overbought), while higher timeframes can use extreme levels (e.g., 1 and 99) for stronger reversals.
Timeframe Considerations
Higher Timeframes (Recommended): The indicator is optimized for higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) due to its reliance on predictive ranges and smoothed momentum, which perform best with less market noise. These timeframes typically yield more reliable reversal signals.
Lower Timeframes: The indicator can be used on lower timeframes (e.g., 5M, 15M), but signals may be noisier and require additional confirmation (e.g., from price action or other indicators). Extensive backtesting and parameter optimization (e.g., adjusting crsiLength, maLength, or mult) are recommended for lower timeframes.
Inputs
Contrarian RSI Length (crsiLength): Length for RSI momentum calculation (default: 5).
RSI MA Length (maLength): Length of the moving average applied to the RSI (default: 1, effectively no MA).
MA Type (maType): Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, or VWMA (default: SMA).
Overbought Level (overboughtLevel): Upper threshold for exit signals (default: 99).
Oversold Level (oversoldLevel): Lower threshold for entry signals (default: 1).
Plot Signals on Main Chart (plotOnChart): Toggle to display signals on the price chart or the indicator panel (default: false).
Plotted on Lower:
Plotted on Chart:
5 Levels Length (length5Levels): Length for predictive range calculation (default: 200).
Factor (mult): ATR multiplier for predictive ranges (default: 6.0).
5 Levels Timeframe (tf5Levels): Timeframe for predictive range calculation (default: chart timeframe).
Visuals
Contrarian RSI MA: Plotted as a yellow line, representing the smoothed Contrarian RSI with the applied moving average.
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Red line for overbought (default: 99) and green line for oversold (default: 1).
Signals: Blue circles for long entries, white circles for long exits. Signals can be plotted on the main chart (plotOnChart = true) or the indicator panel (plotOnChart = false).
Usage Notes
Use the indicator in conjunction with other tools (e.g., support/resistance, trendlines, or volume) to confirm signals.
Test extensively on your chosen timeframe and asset to optimize parameters like crsiLength, maLength, and mult.
Be cautious with lower timeframes, as false signals may occur due to market noise.
The indicator is designed for contrarian strategies, so it works best in markets with clear reversal patterns.

Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance

Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions

Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return

Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence

Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.
Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
🚀 ChartsAlgo – Open Range Breakout (ORB) with Alerts
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator by ChartsAlg is designed for intraday traders looking to capitalize on price movements after the market’s opening range. This tool is especially effective for futures (MNQ, MES) and high-volatility stocks or crypto where initial volatility sets the tone for the session.
This indicator identifies a user-defined opening range window, plots the high/low lines of that range, and visually alerts users when price breaks out above or below the range — with options to customize breakout repetitions, background fill, and alerts.
💡 What is an Open Range Breakout (ORB)?
The opening range represents the high and low established during the first few minutes of the trading session — usually 15 or 30 minutes. Many intraday strategies are based on the idea that breaking out of this initial range often signals strong momentum and trend continuation.
Traders often enter:
Long when price breaks above the range high.
Short when price breaks below the range low.
⚙️ How It Works
You define a session window (e.g., 09:30–09:45 EST).
The indicator tracks the high and low during this time.
Once the session ends, the high and low become your range breakout levels.
The indicator then:
Plots lines for visual clarity
Optionally fills background between the range
Triggers breakout signals if price crosses the levels
Provides alerts when breakouts occur
🛠️ Settings Breakdown
🔹 Session Settings
Range Session: Set your preferred window (e.g., 0930–0945). Can be premarket, first 30 mins, or any custom time.

Williams Fractals with Buy/Sell Signals🧠 Concept:
This indicator is based on the concept of fractal swing highs and lows, commonly used in Bill Williams’ trading methods. A fractal forms when a candle’s high or low is higher/lower than a set number of candles on both sides. This structure helps identify local market turning points.
⚙️ Inputs:
Fractal Sensitivity (swingSensitivity):
Number of candles required on each side of the central bar to validate a fractal.
For example, if set to 2, a swing high is detected when a bar’s high is higher than the previous 2 bars and the next 2 bars.
✅ Features:
Fractal Detection:
Plots white triangles above swing highs (down fractals).
Plots white triangles below swing lows (up fractals).
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the candle closes above the most recent down fractal.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the candle closes below the most recent up fractal.
Signals alternate — a Buy must follow a Sell and vice versa to reduce noise.
Signal Labels:
"BUY" label appears below the candle in green.
"SELL" label appears above the candle in red.
Alerts:
Real-time alerts are available for both Buy and Sell signals via alertcondition().
📌 Use Case:
This indicator can help you:
Detect short-term reversals.
Confirm breakouts or structure shifts.
Time entries with clear logic based on price action.
