ICT Killzones & MacrosICT Killzones & Macros (v1.1.5) — configurable ICT session windows + refined “macro” windows with live High/Low levels, optional extensions, next-window previews, and lightweight opening-price lines. Built to be clock-robust, timezone-aware, and performant on intraday charts.
Tip: All times are interpreted in your chosen IANA timezone (default: America/New_York) and auto-handle DST. You can rename, recolor, enable/disable, and retime every window.
What it plots
- Killzones (5) : Asia (19:00–02:00), London (02:00–05:00), NY AM (07:00–09:30), London Close (10:00–12:00), NY PM (13:30–16:00) — full-height boxes with optional header.
- Macros (8) (defaults tailored for common ICT “refined” windows): Asia-1 (18:00–21:00), Asia-2 (21:00–00:00), London-1 (01:00–04:00), AM-1 (09:45–10:15), AM-2 (10:45–11:15), Lunch (12:00–13:00), PM-1 (13:30–14:30), Power Hour (15:10–16:00).
- Live High/Low lines for the current Macro/Killzone window.
- Optional HL extension to the right until price crosses or the trading day rolls (style selectable).
- “Next” previews : earliest upcoming Macro and Killzone header; optional next-window background band.
- Opening Prices (3 lightweight time lines) : defaults 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 with right-edge labels, scoped to a session you choose (auto-cleans at session end).
- Key inputs & styling
- General : Timezone (IANA), “Sessions to show” (per window) to keep only the last N completed windows.
- Header : height (ticks), gap (ticks), fill opacity, border width/style, text size/color, toggle “Next Macro/Killzone” headers.
- Boxes : global fill opacity, global border width/style (used by both Macros & Killzones).
- High/Low : show HL, HL line style, extend on/off + extension style, optional extension labels.
- Opening Prices : enable Time 1/2/3, set HH:MM for each, session window, per-line colors, style (dotted/dashed/solid), width.
- Per-window controls : each Macro/Killzone has Enable, Session (HHMM-HHMM), Label, Fill color.
How to use (quick start)
- Set Timezone to your preference (default America/New_York).
- Toggle on the Macros and Killzones you trade. Adjust session times if needed.
- (Optional) Turn on Extend High/Low to project levels until crossed/day-roll.
- (Optional) Enable Next… headers to see the next upcoming window at a glance.
- (Optional) Configure Opening Prices (00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 by default) and the session over which they appear.
Behavior & notes
- Time windows are computed by clock, not by guessing bar timestamps, making them robust across brokers and timeframes.
- With HL extension on, the current window’s levels extend until crossed or the end of the trading day (in your timezone). With it off, completed windows keep static HL markers (limited by “Sessions to show”).
- “Sessions to show” applies per Macro/Killzone to automatically prune older windows and keep charts snappy.
- Opening-price lines exist only within the chosen “Opening Prices Session” and are removed when it ends (keeps charts clean).
Defaults (color cues)
Killzones: Asia (blue), London (purple), NY AM (green), London Close (yellow), NY PM (orange).
Macros: neutral greys with Lunch and PM accents out of the box (all customizable).
Performance tips
- Reduce “Sessions to show” if you scroll far back in history.
- Disable “Next…” previews and/or extension labels on very slow machines.
- Narrow the “Opening Prices Session” window to exactly when you need those lines.
Changelog highlights
- v1.1.5 : Internal refinements and stability.
- v1.1.3 : Live High/Low lines for current windows + optional extension.
- v1.1.2 : Added “next Killzone” preview (to match “next Macro”).
- v1.1.0 : Defaults updated (5 KZ, 8 Macros). Removed “snap-to-killzone” behavior.
- v1.0.0 : Independent Macro vs. Killzone rendering; cleaner header logic.
- Known limitations
If your chart warns about drawings, trim “Sessions to show”.
If your broker session times differ from NY hours, adjust the sessions or change the indicator timezone.

PulseGrid Universal Scalper - Adaptive Pulse and Symmetric SpansInstrument agnostic. Works on any symbol and timeframe supported by TradingView.
Message or hit me up in chat for full access .
Purpose and scope
PulseGrid is a short timeframe strategy designed to read intrabar structure and recent path so that entries align with actionable momentum and context. The strategy is private. The description below provides all the information needed to understand how it behaves, how it sizes risk, how to tune it responsibly, and how to evaluate results without making unrealistic claims. The design is instrument agnostic. It runs on any asset class that prints open high low close bars on TradingView. That includes commodities such as Gold and WTI, currencies, crypto, equity indices, and single stocks. Performance will always depend on the symbol’s liquidity, spread, slippage, and session structure, which is why the description focuses on principles and safe parameter ranges instead of hard promises.
What the strategy does at a glance
It builds a composite entry signal named Pulse from five normalized bar features that reflect short term pressure and follow through.
It applies regime guards that keep the strategy inactive when the tape is either too quiet, too bursty, or too directionally random.
It optionally uses a directional filter where a fast and a slow exponential average must agree and their gap must be material relative to recent true range.
When a signal is allowed, risk is sized using symmetric spans that come from nearby untraded price distances above and below the market. The strategy sets a single stop and a single take profit from those spans.
Lines for entry, stop, and take profit are drawn on the chart. A compact on chart table shows trade counts, win rate, average R per trade, and profit factor for all trades, longs only, and shorts only.
This combination yields entries that are reactive but not chaotic, and risk lines that respect the market’s recent path instead of generic pip or point targets.
Why the design is original and useful
The core originality is the union of a composite entry that adapts to volatility and a geometry based risk model. The entry uses five different viewpoints on the same bar space instead of relying on a single technical indicator. The risk model uses spans that come from actual untraded distance rather than fixed multipliers of a generic volatility measure. The result is a framework that is simple to read on a chart and simple to evaluate, yet it avoids the traps of curve fitting to one symbol or one month of data. Because everything is normalized locally, the same logic translates across asset classes with only modest tuning.
The Pulse composite in detail
Pulse is a weighted blend of the following normalized features.
Impulse imbalance. The script sums upward and downward impulses over a short window. An upward impulse is the extension of highs relative to the prior bar. A downward impulse is the extension of lows relative to the prior bar. The net imbalance, scaled by the local range, captures whether extension pressure is building or fading.
Wick and close location. Inside each bar, the distance between the close and the extremes carries information about rejection or acceptance. A bar that closes near the high with relatively heavier lower wick suggests upward acceptance. A bar that closes near the low with heavier upper wick suggests downward acceptance. A weight controls the contribution of wick skew versus close location so that users can favor reversal or momentum behaviour.
Shock touches. Within the recent range window, touches that occur very near the top decile or bottom decile are marked. A short sliding window counts recent shocks. Frequent top shocks in a rising context suggest supply tests. Frequent bottom shocks in a declining context suggest demand tests. The count is normalized by window length.
Breakout ledger. The script compares current extremes to lagged extremes and keeps a simple count of recent upside and downside breakouts. The difference behaves as a short term polarity meter.
Curvature. A simple second difference in closing price acts as a curvature term. It is normalized by the recent maximum of absolute one bar returns so that the value remains bounded and comparable to other terms.
Pulse is smoothed over a fraction of the main signal length. Smoothing removes impulse spikes without destroying the quick reaction that scalpers need. The absolute value of smoothed Pulse can be used with an adaptive gate so that only the top percentile of energy for the recent environment is eligible for entries. A small floor prevents accidental entries during very quiet periods.
Regime guards that keep the strategy selective
Three guards must all pass before any entry can occur.
Auction Balance Factor. This is the proportion of closes that land inside a mid band of the prior bar’s high to low range. High values indicate balanced chop where breakouts tend to fail. Low values indicate directional conditions. The strategy requires ABF to sit below a user chosen maximum.
Dispersion via a Gini style measure on absolute returns. Very low dispersion means bars are small and uniform. Very high dispersion means a few outsized bars dominate and slippage risk can be elevated. The strategy allows the user to require the dispersion measure to remain inside a band that reflects healthy activity.
Binary entropy of direction. Over the core window, the proportion of up closes is used to compute a simple entropy. Values near one indicate coin flip behaviour. Values near zero indicate one sided sequences. The guard requires entropy below a ceiling so that random directionality does not produce noise entries.
An optional directional filter asks that a fast and a slow exponential average agree on direction and that their gap, when divided by an average true range, exceed a threshold. This filter can be enabled on symbols that trend cleanly and disabled when the composite entry is already selective enough.
Risk sizing with symmetric spans
Instead of fixed points or a pure ATR multiplier, the strategy sizes stops and targets from a pair of spans. The upward span reflects recent untraded distance above the market. The downward span reflects recent untraded distance below the market. Each span is floored by a fallback that comes from the maximum of a short simple range average and a standard average true range. A tick based floor prevents microscopic stops on instruments with high tick precision. An asymmetry cap prevents one span from becoming many times larger than the other. For long entries the stop is a multiple of the downward span and the target is a multiple of the upward span. For short entries the stop is a multiple of the upward span and the target is a multiple of the downward span. This creates a risk box that is symmetric by construction yet adaptive to recent voids and gaps.
Execution, ties, and housekeeping
Entries evaluate at bar close. Exits are tested from the next bar forward. If both stop and target are hit within the same bar, the outcome can be resolved in a consistent way that favors the stop or the target according to a single user setting. A short cooldown in bars prevents flip flops. Users can restrict entries to specific sessions such as London and New York. The chart renders entry, stop, and target lines for each trade so that every action is visible. The table in the top right shows trade counts, take profit and stop counts, win rate, average R per trade, and profit factor for the whole set and by direction.
Defaults and responsible backtesting
The default properties in the script use a realistic initial capital and commission value. Users should also set slippage in the strategy properties to reflect their broker and symbol. Small timeframe trading is sensitive to friction and the strategy description does not claim immunity to that reality. The strategy is intended to be tested on a dataset that produces a meaningful sample of trades. A sample in the range of a hundred trades or more is preferred because variance in short samples can be large. On thin symbols or periods with little regular trading, users should either change timeframe, change sessions, or use more selective thresholds so that the sample contains only liquid scenarios.
Universal usage across markets
The strategy is universal by design. It will run and produce lines on any open high low close series on TradingView. The composite entry is made of normalized parts. The regime guards use proportions and bounded measures. The spans use untraded distance and range floors measured in the local price scale. This allows the same logic to function on a currency pair, a commodity, an index future, a stock, or a crypto pair. What changes is calibration.
A safe approach for universal use is as follows.
Start with the default signal length and wick weight.
If the chart prints many weak signals, enable the directional filter and raise the normalized gap threshold slightly.
If the chart is too quiet, lower the adaptive percentile or, with adaptive off, lower the fixed pulse threshold by a small amount.
If stops are too tight in quiet regimes, raise the fallback span multiplier or raise the minimum tick floor in ticks.
If you observe long one sided days, lower the maximum entropy slightly so that entries only occur when directionality is genuine rather than alternating.
Because the logic is bounded and local, these simple steps carry over across symbols. That is why the strategy can be used literally on any asset that you can load on a TradingView chart. The code does not depend on a specific tick size or a specific exchange calendar. It will still remain true that symbols with higher spread or fewer regular trading hours demand stricter thresholds and larger floors.
Suggested parameter ranges for common cases
These ranges are guidelines for one to five minute bars. They are not promises of performance. They reflect the balance between having enough signals to learn from and keeping noise controlled.
Signal length between 18 and 34 for liquid commodities and large capitalization equities.
Wick weight between 0.30 and 0.50 depending on whether you want reversal recognition or close momentum.
Adaptive gate percentile between 85 and 93 when adaptive is enabled. Fixed threshold between 0.10 and 0.18 when adaptive is disabled. Use a non zero floor so very quiet periods still require some energy.
Auction Balance Factor maximum near 0.70 for symbols with clear session bursts. Slightly higher if you prefer to include more balanced prints.
Dispersion band with a lower bound near 0.18 and an upper bound near 0.68 for most session instruments. Tighten the band if you want to skip very bursty days or very flat days.
Entropy maximum near 0.90 so coin flip phases are filtered. Lower the ceiling slightly if the symbol whipsaws frequently.
Stop multiplier near one and take profit multiplier between two and three for a single target approach. Larger target multipliers reduce hit rate and lengthen holding time.
These are safe starting points across commodities, currencies, indices, equities, and crypto. From there, small increments are preferred over dramatic changes.
How to evaluate responsibly
A clean chart and a direct test process help avoid confusion. Use standard candles for signals and exits. If you use a non standard chart type such as Heikin Ashi or Renko, do so only for visualization and not for the strategy’s signal computation, as those chart types can produce unrealistic fills. Turn off other indicators on the published chart unless they are needed to demonstrate a specific property of this strategy. When you post results or discuss outcomes, include the symbol, timeframe, commission and slippage settings, and the session settings used. This makes the context clear and avoids misleading readers.
When you look at results, consider the following.
The distribution of R per trade. A positive average R with a moderate profit factor suggests that exits are sized appropriately for the symbol.
The balance between long and short sides. The HUD table separates the two so you can see if one side carries the edge for that symbol.
The sensitivity to the tie preference. If many bars hit both stop and take profit, the market is chopping inside the risk box and you may need larger floors or stricter regime guards.
The session effect. Session hours matter for many instruments. Align your session filter with where liquidity and volatility concentrate.
Known limitations and honest warnings
PulseGrid is not a guarantee of future profit. It is a systematic way to read short term structure and to size risk in a way that reflects recent path. It assumes that the data feed reflects the exchange reality. It assumes that slippage and spread are non zero and uses explicit commission and user provided slippage to approximate that. It does not place multiple targets. It does not trail stops. It is not a high frequency system and does not attempt to model queue priority or microsecond fills. On illiquid symbols or very short timeframes outside regular hours, signals will be less reliable. Users are responsible for choosing realistic settings and for evaluating whether the symbol’s conditions are suitable.
First use checklist
Load the symbol and timeframe you care about.
If the instrument has clear sessions, turn on the session filter and select realistic London and New York hours or other sessions relevant to the instrument.
Set commission and slippage in the strategy properties to values that match your broker or exchange.
Run the strategy with defaults. Look at the HUD summary and the lines.
Decide whether to enable the directional filter. If you see frequent reversals around the entry line, enable it and raise the normalized gap threshold slightly.
Adjust the adaptive gate. If the chart floods, raise the percentile. If the chart starves, lower it or use a slightly lower fixed threshold.
Adjust the fallback span multiplier and tick floor so that stops are never microscopic.
Review per session performance. If one session underperforms, restrict entries to the better one.
This simple process takes minutes and transfers to any other symbol.
Why this script is private
The source remains private so that the underlying method and its implementation details are not copied or republished. The description here is complete and self contained so that users can understand the purpose, originality, usage, and limitations without needing to inspect the source. Privacy does not change the strategy’s on chart behavior. It only protects the specific coding details.
Guarantee and compliance statements
This description does not contain advertising, solicitations, links, or contact information. It does not make performance promises. It explains how the script is original and how it works. It also warns about limitations and the need for realistic assumptions. The strategy is not investment advice and is not created only for qualified investors. It can be tested and used for educational and research purposes. Users should read TradingView’s documentation on script properties and backtesting. Users should avoid non standard chart types for signal computation because those produce unrealistic results. Users should select realistic account sizes and friction settings. Users should not post claims without showing the settings used.
Closing summary
PulseGrid is a compact framework for short timeframe trading that combines a composite entry built from multiple normalized bar features with a symmetric span model for risk. The entry adapts to volatility. The regime guards keep the strategy inactive when the tape is either too quiet or too erratic. The risk geometry respects recent untraded spans instead of arbitrary distances. The entire design is instrument agnostic. It will run on any symbol that TradingView supports and it will behave consistently across asset classes with modest tuning. Use it with a clean chart, realistic friction, and enough trades to make your evaluation meaningful. Use sessions if the instrument concentrates activity in specific hours. Adjust one control at a time and prefer small increments. The goal is not to find a magic parameter. The goal is to maintain a stable rule set that reads market structure in a way you can trust and audit.
HTF Cross Breakout [CHE] HTF Cross Breakout — Detects higher timeframe close crossovers for breakout signals, anchors VWAP for trend validation, and flags continuations or traps with visual extensions for delta percent and stop levels.
Summary
This indicator spots moments when the current chart's close price crosses a higher timeframe close, marking potential breakouts only when the current bar shows directional strength. It anchors a volume-weighted average price line from the breakout point to track trend health, updating labels to show if the move continues or reverses into a trap. Extensions add a dotted line linking the breakout level to the current close with percent change display, plus a stop-loss marker at the VWAP end. Signals gain robustness from higher timeframe confirmation and anti-repainting options, reducing noise in live bars compared to simple crossover tools.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face false breakouts from intrabar wiggles on lower timeframes, especially without higher timeframe alignment, leading to whipsaws in volatile sessions. This design uses higher timeframe close as a stable reference for crossover detection, combined with anchored volume weighting to gauge sustained momentum. It addresses these by enforcing bar confirmation and directional filters, providing clearer entry validation and risk points without overcomplicating the chart.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Reference baseline
Standard crossover indicators like moving average crosses operate solely on the chart timeframe, ignoring higher timeframe context and lacking volume anchoring.
Architecture differences
- Higher timeframe data pulls via security calls with optional repainting control for stability.
- Anchored VWAP resets at each signal, accumulating from the breakout bar only.
- Label dynamics update in real-time for continuation checks, with extensions for visual delta and stop computation.
- Event-driven line finalization prunes old elements after a set bar extension.
Practical effect
Charts show persistent lines and labels that extend live but finalize cleanly on new events, avoiding clutter. This matters for spotting trap reversals early via label color shifts, and extensions provide quick risk visuals without manual calculations, improving decision speed in trend trades.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first determines a higher timeframe based on user selection, pulling its close price securely. It checks for crossovers or crossunders of the current close against this higher close, but only triggers on confirmed bars with matching directional opens and closes. On a valid event, a horizontal line and label mark the higher close level, while a dashed VWAP line starts accumulating typical price times volume from that bar onward. During the active phase, the breakout line extends to the current bar, the label repositions and updates text based on whether the current close holds above or below the level for bulls or bears. A background tint warns if the close deviates adversely from the current VWAP. Extensions draw a vertical dotted line at the last bar between the breakout level and close, placing a midpoint label with percent difference; separately, a label at the VWAP end shows a computed stop price. Persistent variables track the active state and accumulators, resetting on new events after briefly extending old elements. Repaint risk from security calls is mitigated by confirmed bar gating or user opt-in.
Parameter Guide
Plateau Length (reserved for future, currently unused): Sets a length for potential plateau detection in extensions; default 3, minimum 1. Higher values would increase stability but are not active yet—leave at default to avoid tuning.
Line Width: Controls thickness of breakout, VWAP, and extension lines; default 2, range 1 to 5. Thicker lines improve visibility on busy charts but may obscure price action—use 1 for clean views, 3 or more for emphasis.
+Bars after next HTF event (finalize old, then delete): Extends old lines and labels by this many bars before deletion on new signals; default 20, minimum 0. Shorter extensions keep charts tidy but risk cutting visuals prematurely; longer aids review but builds clutter over time.
Evaluate label only on HTF close (prevents gray traps intrabar): When true, label updates wait for higher timeframe confirmation; default true. Enabling reduces intrabar flips for stabler signals, though it may delay feedback—disable for faster live trading at repaint cost.
Allow Repainting: Permits real-time security data without confirmation offset; default false. False ensures historical accuracy but lags live bars; true speeds updates but can repaint on HTF closes.
Timeframe Type: Chooses HTF method—Auto Timeframe (dynamic steps up), Multiplier (chart multiple), or Manual (fixed string); default Auto Timeframe. Auto adapts to chart scale for convenience; Multiplier suits custom scaling like 5 times current; Manual for precise like 1D on any chart.
Multiplier for Alternate Resolution: Scales chart timeframe when Multiplier type selected; default 5, minimum 1. Values near 1 mimic current resolution for subtle shifts; higher like 10 jumps to broader context, increasing signal rarity.
Manual Resolution: Direct timeframe string like 60 for 1H when Manual type; default 60. Match to trading horizon—shorter for swing, longer for positional—to balance frequency and reliability.
Show Extension 1: Toggles dotted line and delta percent label between breakout level and current close; default true. Disable to simplify for basic use, enable for precise momentum tracking.
Dotted Line Width: Thickness for Extension 1 line; default 2, range 1 to 5. Align with main Line Width for consistency.
Text Size: Size for delta percent label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Smaller reduces overlap on dense charts; larger aids glance reads.
Decimals for Δ%: Precision in percent change display; default 2, range 0 to 6. Fewer decimals speed reading; more suit low-volatility assets.
Positive Δ Color: Hue for upward percent changes; default lime. Choose contrasting for visibility.
Negative Δ Color: Hue for downward percent changes; default red. Pair with positive for quick polarity scan.
Dotted Line Color: Color for Extension 1 line; default gray. Neutral tones blend well; brighter for emphasis.
Background Transparency (0..100): Opacity for delta label background; default 90. Higher values fade for subtlety; lower solidifies for readability.
Show Extension 2: Toggles stop-loss label at VWAP end; default true. Turn off for entry focus only.
Stop Method: Percent from VWAP end or fixed ticks; options Percent, Ticks; default Percent. Percent scales with price levels; Ticks suits tick-based instruments.
Stop %: Distance as fraction of VWAP for Percent method; default 1.0, step 0.05, minimum 0.0. Tighter like 0.5 reduces risk but increases stops; wider like 2.0 allows breathing room.
Stop Ticks: Tick count offset for Ticks method; default 20, minimum 0. Adjust per asset volatility—fewer for tight control.
Price Decimals: Rounding for stop price text; default 4, range 0 to 10. Match syminfo.precision for clean display.
Text Size: Size for stop label; options tiny, small, normal, large; default normal. Scale to chart zoom.
Text Color: Foreground for stop text; default white. Ensure contrast with background.
Inherit VWAP Color (BG tint): Bases stop label background on VWAP hue; default true. True maintains theme; false allows custom black base.
BG Transparency (0..100): Opacity for stop label background; default 0. Zero for no tint; up to 100 for full fade.
Reading & Interpretation
Breakout lines appear green for bullish crosses or red for bearish, extending live until a new event finalizes them briefly then deletes. Labels start blank, updating to Bull Cont. or Bear Cont. in matching colors if holding the level, or gray Bull Trap/Bear Trap on reversal. VWAP dashes yellow for bulls, orange for bears, sloping with accumulated volume weight—deviations trigger faint red background warnings. Extension 1's dotted vertical shows at the last bar, with midpoint label green/red for positive/negative percent from breakout to close. Extension 2 places a left-aligned label at VWAP end with stop price and method note, tinted to VWAP for context.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
For trend following, enter long on green Bull Cont. labels above VWAP with higher highs confirmation, filtering via rising structure; short on red Bear Cont. below. Pair with volume surges or RSI above 50 for bulls to avoid traps. For exits, trail stops using the Extension 2 level, tightening on warnings or gray labels—aggressive on continuations, conservative post-trap. In multi-timeframe setups, use default Auto on 15m charts for 1H signals, scaling multiplier to 4 for daily context on hourly; test on forex/stocks where volume is reliable, avoiding low-liquidity assets.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals confirm on bar close with HTF gating when strict mode active, but live bars may update if repainting enabled—opt false for backtest fidelity, true for intraday speed. Security calls risk minor repaints on HTF closes, mitigated by confirmation offsets. Resources cap at 1000 bars back, 50 lines/labels total, with event prunes to stay under budgets—no loops, minimal arrays. Limits include VWAP lag in low-volume periods and dependency on accurate HTF data; gaps or holidays may skew anchors.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Defaults suit 5m-1H charts on liquid assets: Auto HTF, no repaint, 1% stops. For choppy markets with excess signals, enable strict eval and bump multiplier to 10 for rarer triggers. If sluggish in trends, shorten extend bars to 10 and allow repainting for quicker visuals. On high-vol like crypto, widen stop % to 2.0 and use Ticks method; for stables like indices, tighten to 0.5% and keep Percent.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a signal visualization layer for breakout confirmation and basic risk marking, best as a filter in discretionary setups. It isn’t a standalone system or predictive oracle—combine with price structure, news awareness, and sizing rules for real edges.

SSMT [TakingProphets]SSMT (Sequential SMT) — multi-cycle intermarket divergence with quarter-based timing
Purpose
Informational overlay that detects intermarket SMT divergences between the chart symbol and a user-selected correlated symbol. It does not generate buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and alerts, not to automate trades.
What it does
Scans for SMT on five coordinated cycles: Micro, 90-Minute, Daily (Q1–Q4), Weekly, Monthly.
Draws anchored lines and labels where divergences occur and keeps them after the period ends so you can use historical SMTs as context.
Offers per-cycle alerts (high-side/bearish, low-side/bullish).
Optional session/quarter boxes for timing context.
Time base uses America/New_York to align with common session conventions (with a 17:00–18:00 ET pause guard for CME instruments).
Why these modules belong together (more than a mashup)
All cycles share a single time-partitioning framework (quarters/sessions → day → week → month). That common clock means:
Comparability: divergences on Micro/90m/D/W/M are directly comparable because they’re computed with the same boundaries for both instruments.
Sequencing: higher-cycle context can gate lower-cycle events (e.g., a Daily Q3 divergence framing how you treat a Micro divergence).
Persistence: drawings retain the cycle identity (e.g., , ) so prior signals remain interpretable as the market progresses.
This is a coherent engine—not separate indicators pasted together—because detection, labeling, alerts, and persistence are all driven by the same quarter/period state machine.
How it works (high-level mechanics)
Time partitioning
Daily quarters (ET):
Q1: 18:00–00:00
Q2: 00:00–06:00
Q3: 06:00–12:00
Q4: 12:00–18:00
90-Minute cycle: four 90-minute blocks inside the active session.
Micro cycle: finer 20–22 minute blocks inside the session for granular timing.
Weekly/Monthly: tracked by calendar periods (Mon–Fri, and calendar month).
Pause guard: 17:00–18:00 ET to avoid false transitions during CME’s daily maintenance window.
State tracking (per cycle)
Tracks previous vs. current highs/lows for the chart symbol and the correlated symbol (fetched at the same timeframe).
Maintains cycle IDs (e.g., year*100 + weekofyear for weekly) so drawings remain tied to the originating period.
Divergence condition (SMT)
High-side (bearish): one instrument makes a higher high vs. its previous period while the other does not.
Low-side (bullish): one instrument makes a lower low vs. its previous period while the other does not.
When detected, the script plots a labeled span/line (e.g., SSMT w/ES) and records it for persistence.
Alerts
Two per cycle: High-side (bearish) and Low-side (bullish).
Fire on the bar where the condition first becomes true.
Inputs & customization
Correlated symbol (default can be an index future).
Cycle toggles: Micro, 90m, Daily (Q1–Q4), Weekly, Monthly.
Styling: line color/width, label text/size.
Session/quarter boxes: on/off.
Alerts: per-cycle SMT events on/off.
How to use
Add the indicator to your chart (e.g., NQ, ES) and select a correlated symbol.
Turn on the cycles you want to monitor; optionally enable quarter/session boxes.
Interpret SMTs by side:
High-side (bearish): chart makes HH, correlated does not.
Low-side (bullish): chart makes LL, correlated does not.
Set alerts for the cycles that matter to your workflow.
Combine with your higher-timeframe narrative and risk rules.
Repainting, timing, and limitations
Uses higher-timeframe data without look-ahead; values can update intrabar until the period closes.
SMTs may form and resolve within a period; conservative users may wait for period close.
Assumes America/New_York timing; very thin markets may yield fewer or noisier signals.
SMT quality depends on the benchmark you select; correlations vary across regimes.
Educational tool only. No performance claims; not a signal generator.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A multi-cycle SMT engine built on a shared quarter/period state machine (Micro → 90m → Daily Q1–Q4 → Weekly → Monthly).
Quarter-aware persistence keeps divergence drawings tied to their source cycle for durable context.
CME pause handling and stable calendar IDs make detections consistent across sessions and rollovers.
Implements SMT through extremum sequencing and cross-instrument comparison rather than wrapping generic divergence indicators.
CRT [TakingProphets]CRT (Candle Range Theory) — HTF context overlay with alerts
Purpose
Informational overlay to structure higher-timeframe (HTF) context. It does not generate buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to organize analysis and alerts—not to automate trades.
What it does
Projects HTF candles (1m → 1M) on any lower timeframe so the big picture stays on the chart.
Detects CRT transitions on the HTF (bullish/bearish “failed continuation” pattern).
Evaluates SMT divergence vs. a user-selected correlated instrument on the same HTF (historical & real-time).
Extends live HTF Open/High/Low/Close as developing reference levels.
Concepts (what it looks for)
Candle Range Theory (CRT) — a 3-bar HTF pattern where candle 2 fails to continue candle 1’s move:
Bearish CRT: candle 2 trades above candle 1’s high but closes back inside candle 1’s range and does not break its low.
Bullish CRT: candle 2 trades below candle 1’s low but closes back inside candle 1’s range and does not break its high.
SMT divergence (intermarket) — compares HTF swing extremes between the chart symbol and a correlated symbol:
Bearish SMT: one makes a higher high while the other does not.
Bullish SMT: one makes a lower low while the other does not.
Checked in two modes: historical (between the two last closed HTF bars) and real-time (last closed vs. current forming HTF bar).
How the elements work together (integration, not a mashup)
All modules share one HTF time base, so annotations describe the same segment of price action. The overlay produces an explicit context state by sequencing the modules in this order:
HTF Projection → Structural Frame
The last three HTF candles are drawn (bodies+wicks). This creates the “canvas” the rest of the logic references (ranges, highs/lows, and time boundaries).
CRT Test → Directional Bias Candidate
The script evaluates the 3-bar CRT conditions on those exact HTF candles (not lower-TF approximations).
If conditions are forming on the current HTF bar, status is CRT Forming.
If they complete on the close, status becomes CRT Confirmed (Bullish/Bearish).
SMT Check → Confirmation/Stress-Test on the Same HTF
Using the same HTF window, the tool compares swing progress with the correlated symbol.
Historical SMT comments on whether the prior HTF segment’s push had intermarket agreement.
Real-time SMT comments on the current forming push.
This lets you confirm a CRT bias (e.g., Bearish CRT + Bearish SMT) or challenge it (e.g., Bullish CRT but Bearish SMT).
Live HTF OHLC → Actionable Reference Levels
The current HTF Open/High/Low/Close are extended as levels. These are the decision rails you’ll typically use to judge follow-through, failure, mitigation, or targets in the same CRT/SMT context.
Resulting context states (what you’ll see in alerts/labels):
Neutral (no CRT; SMT may still inform context).
CRT Forming (monitor): HTF push is underway; watch real-time SMT into HTF High/Low/Close projections.
CRT Confirmed (bias): HTF failure pattern locked; use projections as reference for continuation/invalidations.
CRT + SMT Aligned (confluence): CRT direction agrees with SMT; strongest context.
CRT vs. SMT Mixed (caution): bias exists but intermarket is disagreeing; treat levels as potential fade zones.
Why this is not a mashup
Every module is computed and plotted in the same HTF coordinate system, so signals are about one thing: the current HTF segment.
CRT provides the bias hypothesis, SMT provides a cross-market test of that hypothesis in the same window, and live OHLC projections supply the exact levels used to act on or fade that hypothesis.
Alerts are tied to state transitions (e.g., CRT forming → confirmed; SMT flip), not to unrelated features.
Mechanics (high-level)
HTF Projection: pulls HTF OHLC/time for the last three HTF bars and renders body boxes + wicks; optional time labels adapt to intraday vs D/W/M.
CRT Labels: when the three-bar conditions are met, prints BULLISH CRT or BEARISH CRT on the HTF stack.
SMT Lines: draws labeled diagonals across the relevant HTF pair for historical and real-time checks using your correlated symbol.
Live Levels: extends the current HTF Open/High/Low/Close horizontally; anchors are deterministic (Open = first bar, High/Low = first occurrence, Close = current bar).
Inputs & customization
HTF timeframe: 1m–1M.
Display: candle width/opacity, borders/wicks, time labels (12h/24h).
SMT: enable/disable, correlated symbol, line style/width, optional labels.
Projections: enable/disable, left extension (bars), per-level styling and price labels.
Alerts: switches for CRT, SMT-historical, SMT-real-time.
Alerts (workflow prompts)
Bullish/Bearish CRT detected on the selected HTF.
Bullish/Bearish SMT (historical) between the two last closed HTF bars.
Bullish/Bearish SMT (real-time) between the last closed and current forming HTF bar.
Suggested text includes the HTF and current context state so you know if CRT and SMT are aligned or mixed.
Example use
Bearish scenario: A Bearish CRT confirms on the 4H; soon after, real-time SMT (bearish) appears while price probes the projected 4H High. Context = CRT + SMT Aligned → treat the projected Open/Close as near-term objectives.
Mixed scenario: A Bullish CRT forms on 1H, but historical SMT (bearish) printed in the prior segment. Context = Mixed → continue to monitor real-time SMT and projected Low for possible invalidation.
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; labels/lines can update while forming.
SMT depends on the correlated symbol you select; relationships vary by market/regime.
Session gaps/illiquid hours can distort extremes and time labels.
Educational tool: no performance claims, no entry/exit signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A unified HTF projection → CRT test → SMT check → live level pipeline that yields explicit context states instead of separate, unrelated overlays.
Formal CRT detection performed on actual HTF bars (not lower-TF approximations).
Dual-mode SMT tied to the same HTF windows (historical + real-time), plotted as labeled span lines.

Prophet Model [TakingProphets]The Prophet Model — context pipeline (HTF PDA → Sweep → CISD → EPE) with dynamic risk
Purpose
Informational overlay for organizing institutional context in real time. It does not issue buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and checklist-driven execution—not to automate decisions.
What it does (modules at a glance)
Projects HTF PD Arrays (FVGs) onto your current chart and maintains only the nearest active array.
Validates directional bias using Candle Range Theory (CRT) on the same HTF.
Tracks Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL) on HTF-aware pivots.
Confirms Change in State of Delivery (CISD) via displacement after a sweep.
Optionally refines entries with EPE when a local (internal) imbalance forms right after CISD.
Derives dynamic TP/BE/SL from measured displacement and recent extremes (not fixed distances).
Keeps a rules checklist (PDA tap → CRT → Sweep → CISD) and a relationships table (common HTF↔LTF pairings) to enforce process.
How it works (integration, not a mashup)
The modules are sequenced on one HTF time base so each step gates the next:
HTF PD Arrays (context zone). The model identifies valid HTF FVGs, filters tiny/weekend gaps, removes arrays that are invalidated by clean trades-through, and persists only the nearest PDA. This focuses attention on the institutional zone most likely to matter now.
CRT (directional gating). CRT on the same HTF establishes a provisional bias. No entries are implied; CRT simply permits or forbids the following steps. If CRT disagrees with the PDA context, the checklist remains incomplete.
Liquidity Sweep (event). The model tracks HTF-aware BSL/SSL pivots. A sweep only “counts” if it occurs in relation to the active PDA (tap/engagement). This prevents generic swing-high/low tags from triggering downstream logic.
CISD (confirmation). After a qualified sweep, the tool looks for displacement through the sequence open (the open of the impulsive leg beginning at or immediately after the sweep). Crossing that threshold confirms CISD, which marks a structural delivery shift consistent with the CRT bias.
EPE (refinement, optional). Immediately following CISD, the model scans for a fresh internal imbalance. If found quickly, it promotes that price area as the Easiest Point of Entry (EPE) and relabels the reference. If not, the CISD level remains primary.
Dynamic risk levels. TP/BE/SL are derived from the measured displacement around the CISD leg (e.g., BE ≈ 1× leg, TP ≈ 2.25× stretch; SL aligned to nearby structural extremes rather than a fixed pip offset). Levels update with structure and can display prices.
By chaining PDA → CRT → Sweep → CISD → (EPE) → Risk on a single HTF backbone, the tool creates a coherent workflow where later signals simply do not appear without earlier context. That’s why this is not a bundle of independent features: each module’s output is another module’s input.
Concepts & operational rules (high level)
HTF PD Arrays (FVGs)
Uses a standard three-candle gap definition on the chosen HTF, with filters for weekend/tiny gaps.
Inverse mitigation: if price trades cleanly through an array, the box is removed and internal state resets.
Nearest-PDA persistence: when multiple arrays exist, only the closest remains visible to reduce clutter.
Optional right-extension draws lingering influence X bars forward.
Candle Range Theory (CRT)
Bullish CRT: candle 2 wicks below candle 1’s low but closes back inside candle 1’s range, without taking its high.
Bearish CRT: candle 2 wicks above candle 1’s high but closes back inside candle 1’s range, without taking its low.
Role: bias validation paired to CISD when alignments match the active PDA.
Liquidity Sweeps (BSL/SSL)
Tracks candidate HTF pivots as buy-/sell-side liquidity.
A sweep registers when price takes a tracked pivot in the vicinity of the active PDA.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery)
Finds the sequence open for the impulsive leg that begins at/after the sweep.
Bearish path (after BSL sweep): CISD when close < sequence-open.
Bullish path (after SSL sweep): CISD when close > sequence-open.
On confirmation, the model plots a CISD line, checks the box in the Strategy Checklist, and triggers risk calc.
EPE (Easiest Point of Entry)
Within a short window after CISD, scans for a local imbalance; if present, promotes that level as EPE.
If no imbalance forms, CISD remains the operative reference.
Dynamic TP / BE / SL
Built from the measured leg around CISD (not fixed pip steps).
Approximate geometry: BE ≈ 1× leg, TP ≈ 2.25× leg; SL respects nearby structural extremes.
Labels and price markers are optional.
Architecture notes
Maps the current chart to a higher timeframe (e.g., 15s→M5, M1→M15, M5→H1, M15→H4, H1→D, H4→W, D→M).
Retrieves HTF OHLC/time with no lookahead so structures update intrabar until the HTF bar closes.
Periodic cleanup clears obsolete lines/labels/boxes to keep charts responsive.
Inputs (summary)
FVGs/PD Arrays: show/hide, colors, borders, label size, right-extension, nearest-only toggle.
CRT: enable/disable, label style.
Sweeps/CISD/EPE: enable/disable, line/label styles, EPE window.
Risk Levels (TP/BE/SL): enable each, price labels on/off, colors.
Tables/Checklist: strategy checklist on/off; relationships table (common HTF↔LTF pairings); text sizes and header colors.
Alerts (optional)
You may add alertconditions aligned with these events in your own workspace:
HTF PDA tap (bullish/bearish box)
CRT detected (bullish/bearish)
CISD confirmed (bullish/bearish)
EPE set/updated
Example messages:
“Prophet: CISD confirmed on {{ticker}} / {{interval}}”
“Prophet: EPE refined at {{close}} ({{time}})”
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; labels/levels can update while forming.
CISD/EPE are live conditions; they can form and later invalidate within the same HTF bar.
Liquidity relationships vary by market/regime; thin sessions and large gaps can affect clarity.
Educational tool only. No performance claims; no trade signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A single HTF-synchronized engine sequences PDA → CRT → Sweep → CISD → (EPE) and withholds later steps unless prerequisites are met.
Nearest-PDA persistence and inverse-mitigation enforce focus on the most relevant institutional zone.
Displacement-based risk math ties TP/BE/SL to structure instead of static offsets.
Checklist + relationships table promote consistent, rules-first behavior and reduce discretionary drift.

HTF Candles [TakingProphets]HTF Candles — higher-timeframe structure, SMT divergence, and live OHLC projections
Purpose
Informational overlay to keep higher-timeframe (HTF) context visible on a lower-timeframe chart. It does not generate buy/sell signals and is not financial advice. Use it to structure analysis and alerts, not to automate trading.
What it does
HTF candle visualization (up to 10 candles, optional right-side offset) with bodies, wicks, and time labels.
SMT divergence checks on the chosen HTF—both historical (last two completed HTF bars) and real-time (last closed vs. current forming bar) vs. a user-selected correlated symbol (default can be an index future).
Live HTF OHLC projections: forward-extending Open / High / Low / Close from the current HTF bar with optional price labels and styling.
HTF close timer (optional) to show when the active HTF candle ends.
Why these modules belong together (more than a mashup)
This overlay uses one HTF time base to align three lenses of the same context:
Candle projection provides the structural frame (ranges and bodies of true HTF bars).
SMT divergence provides intermarket confirmation/invalidations on that same HTF, so the divergence you see is directly comparable to the projected candles.
Live OHLC projections turn the current HTF bar’s evolving state into concrete reference levels for intraday decisions.
Because all three share the same HTF clock and data source, alerts and drawings change together when the HTF state actually changes. The intent is a coherent workflow tool where each module gates the others (structure → confirmation → actionable references), rather than separate indicators merely co-plotted.
How it works (high-level)
Timeframe mapping & data
You choose an HTF (1m–1M). The script retrieves HTF OHLC/time without look-ahead. Objects update intrabar until the HTF bar closes.
Candle rendering
Up to 10 recent HTF candles are drawn as body boxes with wicks.
A horizontal offset/spacing option places the stack right of the current price for clarity.
Visuals (colors, transparency, borders, wick width, label size/format 12h/24h) are configurable.
SMT divergence (historical & real-time)
Compares HTF highs/lows of your chart vs. a correlated symbol using the same HTF.
Bearish SMT (high-side): one makes a higher high while the other does not.
Bullish SMT (low-side): one makes a lower low while the other does not.
Historical mode compares HTF → HTF ; real-time mode compares HTF → HTF as the current HTF bar forms.
Optional lines/labels mark where the divergence is detected.
Live OHLC projections
Extends the current HTF Open / High / Low / Close forward as horizontal lines.
Anchors: Open = first bar of the HTF period; High/Low = first occurrence of each extreme inside the period; Close = current bar.
Each level has independent toggles for price labels, style, and width.
Alerts (workflow prompts)
Bullish SMT, Bearish SMT, Bullish Real-time SMT, Bearish Real-time SMT.
Fire on the bar where the condition first becomes true.
Inputs & customization
Timeframe: select HTF (1m–1M).
Display: number of candles (1–10), right-offset, candle width, transparency, time labels on/off (12h/24h), label size, HTF close timer on/off.
Visuals: bullish/bearish body colors, border color, wick color.
SMT: enable/disable, correlated symbol, line style/width, labels on/off, alerts on/off.
Projections: enable/disable, per-level toggles (Open/High/Low/Close), color/style/width, optional price labels.
Notes & limitations
HTF values are provisional until the HTF bar closes; lines/labels can update during formation.
SMT usefulness depends on the correlated symbol you select; relationships vary by market/regime.
Session gaps/low liquidity can affect extremes and time labels.
Educational tool only. No performance claims and no trade signals.
Originality & scope (for protected/invite-only publications)
A single HTF-synchronized engine: candle projection, dual-mode SMT, and live OHLC projections all computed from the same HTF series to ensure consistent timing and interpretation.
Real-time SMT explicitly ties the developing HTF bar to the prior closed bar, reducing ambiguity vs. generic divergence checks.
Projection anchoring (first-occurrence rules for H/L, period start for Open, current bar for Close) provides deterministic, reproducible reference levels.
Measured Pattern Move (Bulkowski) [SS]Hey everyone,
This is the Measured Pattern Move using Bulkowski's process for measured move calculation.
What the indicator does:
The indicator has the associated measured move across 20 of the most common and frequent Bulkowski patterns, including:
Double Bottom / Adam Eve Bottom
Double Top / Adam Eve Top
Inverse Head and Shoulders
Bear Flag
Bull Flag
Horn Bottom
Horon Top
Broadening Top
Descending Broadening Wedge
Broadening Bottoms
Broadening Tops
Cup and Handle
Inverted cup and handle
Diamond Bottom
Diamond Top
Falling Wedge
Rising Wedge
Pipe Bottom
Pipe Top
Head and Shoulders
It will calculate the measured move according to the Bulkowski process.
What is the Bulkowski Process?
Each move has an associated continuation percentage, which Bulkowski has studied, analyzed and concluded statistically.
For example, Double tops have a continuation percent of 54%. Bear flags, 47%. These are "constants" that are associated with the pattern.
Bulkowski applies them to the daily, but how I have formulated this, it can be used on all timeframes, and with the constant, it will correctly calculate the measured move of the pattern.
What this indicator DOES NOT DO
This indicator will not identify the pattern for you.
I tried this using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) using my own pre-trained Bulkowski model in R. I was successfully able to get Pinescript to calculate DTW which was amazing! But applying it to all these patterns actually went over the execution time limit, which is understandable.
As such, you will need to identify the pattern yourself, then use this indicator to hilight the pattern and it will calculate the measured move based on the constant and the pattern range.
Let's look at some examples:
Use examples
Double bottom / adam eve bottom on SPY on the 1-Minute chart
Adam and Eve Double Bottom QQQ 1-Hour Chart
Adam Eve Double Bottom MSFT Daily Chart
Bearish Head and Shoulders Pattern MSFT Daily
You get the point.
How to use the indicator
To use the indicator, identify the pattern of interest to you.
Then, highlight the pattern using the indicator (it will ask you to select start time of the pattern and end time of the pattern). The indicator will then highlight the pattern and calculate the measured move, as seen in the examples above.
Best approaches
To make the most of the indicator, its best to draw out your pattern and wait for an actual break, the point of the break is usually the end of the pattern formation.
From here, you will then apply this indicator to calculate the expected up or down move.
Let me show you an example:
Here we see CME_MINI:ES1! has made an Adam bottom pattern. We know the Eve should be forming soon and it indeed does:
We mark the top of the pattern like so:
Then we use our Measured move indicator to calculate the measured move:
Measured move here for CME_MINI:ES1! is 6,510.
Now let's see....
Voila!
Selecting the Pattern
After you highlight the selected pattern, in the indicator settings, simply select the type of pattern it is, for example "head and shoulders" or "Broadening wedge", etc.
The indicator will then adjust its measurements to the appropriate constant and direction.
Concluding remarks
That is the indicator!
It is helpful for determining the actual projected move of a pattern on breakout.
Remember, it does not find the pattern for you , you are responsible for identifying the pattern. But this will calculate the actual TP of the pattern for you, without you having to do your own calculations.
I hope you find it useful, I actually use this indicator every day, especially on the lower timeframes!
And you will find, the more you use it, the better you get at recognizing significant patterns!
If you are not aware of these patterns, Bulkowski lists all of this information freely accessible on his website. I cannot link it here but you can just Google him and he has graciously made his information public and free!
That's it, I hope you enjoy and safe trades!
Disclaimer
This is not my intellectual property. The pattern calculations come from the work of Thomas Bulkowski and not myself. I simply coded this into an indicator using his publicly accessible information.
You can get more information from Bulkowski's official website about his work and patterns.

January Barometer OverlayDescription:
The January Barometer Overlay is a dynamic Pine Script indicator that visualizes the classic "January Barometer" seasonal forecasting concept directly on your TradingView chart. This tool stretches the intra-month price action of January (relative to its opening close) proportionally across the entire year, creating a predictive projection line that overlays your price candles. It's perfect for spotting potential yearly trends based on January's performance—e.g., if January ends up 5%, the projection forecasts a similar relative gain by December. For multi-year views, it applies a separate stretched projection for each year's January, color-coded for easy distinction: even years in hot yellow, odd years in vibrant pink. Whether you're analyzing stocks like SPY, cryptos like ETHUSD, or forex, this overlay turns historical seasonality into an intuitive, forward-looking guide. Note: It's illustrative for strategy brainstorming, not financial advice—backtest and combine with other indicators for real trades!
Key Features:
Proportional Stretching: Maps January's daily ratios to the full ~365 days (leap years handled automatically).
Future Projection: Extends the line into unloaded future bars for "what-if" forecasting.
Multi-Year Support: Alternating colors (yellow for even years, pink for odd) make historical comparisons pop.
Smooth Interpolation: Linear blending between January points for a clean, non-stepped line.
Historical Edge (S&P 500 Context): The January Barometer has ~75% directional accuracy since 1950, with positive Januaries signaling an 89% chance of yearly gains averaging +21.6%. Use it as a seasonal bias booster!
Instructions to Add and Use on TradingView
1. Search in Indicators: On any chart, click the Indicators button (fx icon) at the top. Search for "January Barometer Overlay" (or your custom title if you rename it).
2. Add to Chart: Select it from the Public Library results—Boom, it's overlaid!
Tips & Limitations:
Works on any ticker, but shines on indices/crypto with clear seasonal patterns.
Requires full January data; projections update live as January progresses.
Not a guarantee—markets evolve! Test on historical data (e.g., 2020's wild January vs. actual crash). If errors pop up, ensure you're on daily bars.

Squeeze Weekday Frequency [CHE] Squeeze Weekday Frequency — Tracks historical frequency of low-volatility squeezes by weekday to inform timing of low-risk setups.
Summary
This indicator monitors periods of unusually low volatility, defined as when the average true range falls below a percentile threshold, and tallies their occurrences across each weekday. By aggregating these counts over the chart's history, it reveals patterns in squeeze frequency, helping traders avoid or target specific days for reduced noise. The approach uses persistent counters to ensure accurate daily tallies without duplicates, providing a robust view of weekday biases in volatility regimes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face inconsistent signal quality due to varying volatility patterns tied to the trading calendar, such as quieter mid-week sessions or busier Mondays. This indicator addresses that by binning low-volatility events into weekday buckets, allowing users to spot recurring low-activity days where trends may develop with less whipsaw. It focuses on historical aggregation rather than real-time alerts, emphasizing pattern recognition over prediction.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional volatility trackers like simple moving averages of range or standalone Bollinger Band squeezes, which ignore temporal distribution.
- Architecture differences:
- Employs array-based persistent counters for each weekday to accumulate events without recounting.
- Includes duplicate prevention via day-key tracking to handle sparse data.
- Features on-demand sorting and conditional display modes for focused insights.
- Practical effect: Charts show a persistent table of ranked weekdays instead of transient plots, making it easier to glance at biases like higher squeezes on Fridays, which reduces the need for manual logging and highlights calendar-driven edges.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the average true range over a specified lookback period to gauge recent volatility. It then ranks this value against its own history within a sliding window to identify squeezes when the rank drops below the threshold. Each bar's timestamp is resolved to a weekday using the selected timezone, and a unique day identifier is generated from the date components.
On detecting a squeeze and valid price data, it checks against a stored last-marked day for that weekday to avoid multiple counts per day. If it's a new occurrence, the corresponding weekday counter in an array increments. Total days and data-valid days are tracked separately for context.
At the chart's last bar, it sums all counters to compute shares, sorts weekdays by their squeeze proportions, and populates a table with the selected subset. The table alternates row colors and highlights the peak weekday. An info label above the final bar summarizes totals and the top day. Background shading applies a faint red to squeeze bars for visual confirmation. State persists via variable arrays initialized once, ensuring counts build incrementally without resets.
Parameter Guide
ATR Length — Sets the lookback for measuring average true range, influencing squeeze sensitivity to short-term swings. Default: 14. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter values increase responsiveness but raise false positives in chop; longer smooths for stability, potentially missing early squeezes.
Percentile Window (bars) — Defines the history length for ranking the current ATR, balancing recent relevance with sample size. Default: 252. Trade-offs/Tips: Narrower windows adapt faster to regime shifts but amplify noise; wider ones stabilize ranks yet lag in fast markets—aim for 100-500 bars on daily charts.
Squeeze threshold (PR < x) — Determines the cutoff for low-volatility classification; lower values flag rarer, tighter squeezes. Default: 10.0. Trade-offs/Tips: Tighter thresholds (under 5) yield fewer but higher-quality signals, reducing clutter; looser (over 20) captures more events at the cost of relevance.
Timezone — Selects the reference for weekday assignment; exchange default aligns with asset's session. Default: Exchange. Trade-offs/Tips: Use custom for cross-market analysis, but verify alignment to avoid offset errors in global pairs.
Show — Toggles the results table visibility for quick on/off of the display. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Disable in multi-indicator setups to save screen space; re-enable for periodic reviews.
Pos — Positions the table on the chart pane for optimal viewing. Default: Top Right. Trade-offs/Tips: Bottom options suit long-term charts; test placements to avoid overlapping price action.
Font — Adjusts text size in the table for readability at different zooms. Default: normal. Trade-offs/Tips: Smaller fonts fit more data but strain eyes on small screens; larger for presentations.
Dark — Applies a dark color scheme to the table for contrast against chart backgrounds. Default: true. Trade-offs/Tips: Toggle false for light themes; ensures legibility without manual recoloring.
Display — Filters table rows to show all, top three, or bottom three weekdays by squeeze share. Default: All. Trade-offs/Tips: Use "Top 3" for focus on high-frequency days in active trading; "All" for full audits.
Reading & Interpretation
Red-tinted backgrounds mark individual squeeze bars, indicating current low-volatility conditions. The table's summary row shows the highest squeeze count, its percentage of total events, and the associated weekday in teal. Detail rows list selected weekdays with their absolute counts, proportional shares, and a left arrow for the peak day—higher percentages signal days where squeezes cluster, suggesting potential for calmer trend development. The info label reports overall days observed, valid data days, and reiterates the top weekday with its count. Drifting counts toward zero on a weekday imply rarity, while elevated ones point to habitual low-activity sessions.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Scan for squeezes on high-frequency weekdays as entry filters, confirming with higher highs or lower lows in the structure; pair with momentum oscillators to time breaks.
- Exits/Stops: On low-squeeze days, widen stops for breathing room, tightening them during peak squeeze periods to guard against false breaks—use the table's percentages as a regime proxy.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and indices on hourly or daily frames; for stocks, adjust percentile window to 100 for shorter histories. Scale thresholds up by 5-10 points for high-vol assets like crypto to maintain signal sparsity.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Counts update only on confirmed bars via day-key changes, with no future references—live bars may shade red tentatively but tallies finalize at session close.
- security()/HTF: Not used, so no higher-timeframe repaint risks; all computations stay in the chart's resolution.
- Resources: Relies on a fixed-size array of seven elements and small loops for sorting and table fills, capped at 5000 bars back—efficient for most charts but may slow on very long intraday histories.
- Known limits: Ignores weekends and holidays implicitly via data presence; early chart bars lack full percentile context, leading to initial undercounting; assumes continuous sessions, so gaps in data (e.g., news halts) skew totals.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with the built-in values for broad-market daily charts: ATR at 14, window at 252, threshold at 10. For noisier environments, lower the threshold to 5 and shorten the window to 100 to prioritize rare squeezes. If too few events appear, raise the threshold to 15 and extend ATR to 20 for broader capture. To combat overcounting in sparse data, widen the window to 500 while keeping others stock—monitor the info label's data-days count before trusting patterns.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This serves as a statistical overlay for spotting calendar-based volatility biases, aiding in session selection and filter design. It is not a standalone signal generator, predictive model, or risk manager—integrate it with price action, volume, and broader strategy rules for decisions.

Falcon Imbalance TradesIn this indicator, I am using ATR + Volume to find breakouts. These candles where I am getting these breakouts, I am creating a box for price action. If candle breaks above it, it gives us a buy signal. Similarly for downside.
The logic is to find imbalance so that we can avoid sideways market and focus on trending or impulsive move.
I hope you enjoy this indicator. Drop comments for any questions.

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.
---
4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.
---
6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance
---
7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.
ADX Badge: Small label at bottom of last bar showing current ADX value. Green when above your minimum threshold, red when below.
RSI Badge: Small label at top of last bar showing current RSI value with zone status (buy zone, sell zone, or neutral).
These labels provide quick at-a-glance confirmation without needing separate indicator windows.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings
VWAP for institutional anchor reference
ORB for intraday breakout context
ZLSMA for low-lag trend following
Step 6: Optimize Settings
Every setting has a detailed tooltip explaining what it does and typical values. Hover over any input to read:
What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.

Premarket Gapper Swing Filter (Long) – v6here’s a plug-and-play Pine Script v5 “screener” you can drop on any chart to flag pre-market gainers that also meet swing-friendly trend/liquidity filters. It works as a chart-level scanner (since Pine can’t screen the whole market by itself): add it to a watchlist; symbols that qualify will light up and you can set alerts to ping you right at the opening bell.
HTF Live View - GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA📘 HTF Live View — GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA
🧩 Overview
The HTF Live View indicator provides a real-time visual representation of higher-timeframe (HTF) candle structures — such as 15min, 30min, 1H, 4H, and Daily — all derived directly from live 1-minute data.
This allows traders to see how higher timeframe candles are forming within the current session — without switching chart timeframes.
⚙️ Core Features
📊 Live Multi-Timeframe OHLC Tracking
Continuously calculates and displays Open, High, Low, and Close values for each key timeframe (15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, and Daily) based on the ongoing session.
⏱ Session-Aware Calculation
Automatically syncs with market hours defined by user-selected start and end times. Works across multiple timezones for global compatibility.
🕹 Visual Candle Representation
Draws mini-candles on the chart for each higher timeframe to represent their current body and wick — updated live.
Green body → bullish development
Red body → bearish development

💡 How It Works
The indicator uses a rolling OHLC calculation function that dynamically computes candle values based on elapsed session time.
Each timeframe (15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, and Daily) is built from 1-minute data to maintain precision even during intraday updates.
Both a visual representation (candles and wicks) and a data table (numeric summary) are displayed for clarity.
🧠 Use Cases
Monitor how HTF candles are forming live without switching chart intervals.
Understand intraday structure shifts (e.g., when 1H turns from red to green).
Confirm trend alignment across multiple timeframes visually.
Combine with your volume, delta, or liquidity tools for deeper confluence.
