SMC BOS - Structure Breaks & Median Continuation ProjectionsThis tool shows what usually happens after a Break of Structure (BOS).
It scans past BOS events on your chart, finds the ones most similar to the latest break (using ATR to filter by volatility), and then plots the median continuation path.
Optional percentile bands (P10–P90) display the possible range of outcomes around the median.
Key features:
• Automatic detection of bullish and bearish BOS events
• Library of past BOS with adjustable size and spacing
• ATR-based similarity and recency weighting
• Median continuation projections with optional percentile bands
• Customizable colors, signals, and stats table
• Works on any market and timeframe
Use cases:
• See how price typically behaves after a BOS
• Support SMC analysis with data-driven projections
• Improve trade planning by visualizing likely continuations
• Apply across crypto, forex, stocks, and futures
Originality:
Instead of only marking BOS, this script learns from history and projects forward the median path of the most similar past cases, adjusted for volatility. It turns BOS signals into practical continuation scenarios.
Instructions:
Add the indicator to your chart. When a BOS is detected, the projection is drawn automatically.
Use the settings to adjust the library, ATR weighting, projection style, percentile bands, and the display of signals or stats.

Advanced Trend & Volatility Indicator (VWAP & EMA360)Bollinger band with adjustable NO TRADE tool. green buy and red sell signals for 20 moving average added 360 moving average for micro trading. Has VWAP and additional EMA defaulted to 9 (adjust to your style). For confluence use this along with an RSI over bought and over sold WMA with similar green buy and red sell signals.
OTFThis indicator identifies One Time Framing conditions directly on the chart. One Time Framing occurs when a bar’s high is higher than the previous bar’s high without breaking the previous low (for bullish OTF), or when a bar’s low is lower than the previous bar’s low without breaking the previous high (for bearish OTF).
This tool helps traders to spot continuation moves and trend confirmation within any timeframe. Customizable inputs allow users to select the desired time interval and highlight both bullish and bearish One Time Framing sequences.
How to use:
Apply this indicator on any timeframe to automatically highlight OTF events.
Use the visual markers to identify trend continuations or early reversals.
Adjust the settings panel for color preferences and OTF sensitivity.
No trading signals or strategies are provided; this indicator is strictly for identifying the OTF structure in market price action. Suitable for all levels of traders interested in market structure analysis.
ORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — fixedORB + Session VWAP Pro (London & NY) — Listing copy (EN)
What it is
A clean, non-repainting intraday tool that fuses the classic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) with a session-anchored VWAP filter for London and New York. It highlights only the higher-quality breakouts (above/below session VWAP), adds an optional retest confirmation, and scores each signal with an intuitive Confidence metric (0–100).
Why it works
• ORB provides the day’s first actionable structure (range high/low).
• Session VWAP filters “cheap” breaks and favors flows aligned with session value.
• Optional retest reduces first-tick whipsaws.
• Confidence blends breakout depth (vs ATR), VWAP slope and band distance.
Key visuals
• LDN/NY OR High/Low (line break style) + optional OR boxes.
• Active Session VWAP (resets per signal window; falls back to daily VWAP outside).
• Optional VWAP bands (stdev or %).
• Session shading (London/NY windows).
• Signal markers (LDN BUY/SELL, NY BUY/SELL) fired with cooldown.
Signals
• London Long / Short: Break of LDN OR High/Low ± ATR buffer, aligned with VWAP side.
• NY Long / Short: Same logic during NY window.
• Retest (optional): Requires a tag back to the OR level ± tolerance before confirmation.
• Confidence: 0–100; gate via Min Confidence (default 55).
Inputs that matter
• Open Range Length (min): Default 15.
• London/NY times & timezones.
• ATR buffer & retest tolerance.
• Bands mode: Stdev (with lookback) or % (e.g., 1%).
• Signal cooldown: Avoids clutter on fast moves.
Non-repaint policy
• OR lines build within fixed time windows using the current bar’s timestamp.
• VWAP is cumulative within the session window; no lookahead.
• All ta.crossover/ta.crossunder are precomputed every bar (no conditional execution).
• Signals are based on live bar values, not future bars.
⸻
Quick start (examples)
1) EURUSD, London momentum
• Chart: 5m or 15m.
• OR: 15 min starting 08:00 Europe/London.
• Signals: Use defaults; keep ATR buffer = 0.2 and Retest = ON, Min Confidence ≥ 55.
• Play:
• BUY when price breaks LDN OR High + buffer and stays above VWAP; retest confirms.
• Trail behind VWAP or band #1; partials into band #2.
2) NAS100, New York breakout & run
• Chart: 5m.
• NY window: 09:30 America/New_York, OR = 15 min.
• Retest OFF on high momentum days; Min Confidence ≥ 60.
• Use band mode Stdev, bandLen=50, show ±1/±2.
• Momentum continuation: add on pullbacks that hold above VWAP after the breakout.
3) XAUUSD, London fake & VWAP fade
• Chart: 5m.
• Keep Retest ON; accept only shorts that break OR Low but retest fails back under VWAP.
• Confidence gate ≥ 50 to allow more mean-reversion setups.
⸻
Pro tips
• Adjust ATR buffer to the instrument: FX 0.15–0.25, indices 0.20–0.35, metals 0.20–0.30.
• Retest ON for choppy conditions; OFF for news momentum.
• Use VWAP bands: take partials at ±1; stretch targets at ±2/±3.
• Session timezones are explicit (London/New York). Ensure they match your instrument’s behavior.
• Pair with a higher-TF bias (e.g., 1H/4H trend) for directional filtering.
⸻
Alerts (ready to use)
• ORB+SVWAP — LDN Long, LDN Short, NY Long, NY Short
(Respect your cooldown; alerts fire only after confirmation and confidence gate.)
⸻
Known limits & notes
• Designed for intraday. On 1D+ charts, session windows compress.
• If your broker session differs from London/NY clocks on a holiday, adjust input times.
• Session-anchored VWAP uses the script’s signal window, not exchange sessions, by design.
Hybrid RSI Strategy [Heifereum ]This is a hybrid script that combines visual RSI indicator signals with an optional backtestable trading strategy.
BUY Entry: When RSI crosses above the oversold level (default 30)
SELL Exit: When RSI crosses below the overbought level (default 70)
Timeframe: Works best on trending assets (crypto, forex, indices) in 5min to 1H
Backtest Toggle: Turn ON/OFF live testing using the Enable Backtest Mode? setting
Visual Cues: Buy/Sell labels, background coloring, and alerts ready for webhook automation
Use this strategy to visually explore RSI dynamics, run performance backtests, or hook up to external bots via alerts.
First Candle Daily RangeFirst Candle Daily Range, as the name suggests it does just that. Nothing more, nothing special just like everyone else.
Scenario Screener — Consolidation → Bullish SetupThe script combines multiple indicators to filter out false signals and only highlight strong conditions:
Consolidation Check
Uses ATR % of price → filters out stocks in tight ranges.
Uses Choppiness Index → confirms sideways/non-trending behavior.
Momentum Shift (Bullish Bias)
MACD Histogram > 0 → bullish momentum starting.
RSI between 55–70 → strength without being overbought.
Stochastic %K & %D > 70 → confirms strong momentum.
Volume & Accumulation
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF > 0) → buying pressure.
Chaikin Oscillator > 0 (debug only) → accumulation phase.
Trend Direction
+DI > -DI (from DMI) → buyers stronger than sellers.
ADX between 18–40 → healthy trend strength (not too weak, not overheated).
Breakout Filter (Optional)
If enabled, requires price to cross above 20 SMA before signal confirmation.
📈 Outputs
✅ Green label (“MATCH”) below the bar when all bullish conditions align.
✅ Background highlight (light green) when signal appears.

DynamoSent DynamoSent Pro+ — Professional Listing (Preview)
— Adaptive Macro Sentiment (v6)
— Export, Adaptive Lookback, Confidence, Boxes, Heatmap + Dynamic OB/OS
Preview / Experimental build. I’m actively refining this tool—your feedback is gold.
If you spot edge cases, want new presets, or have market-specific ideas, please comment or DM me on TradingView.
⸻
What it is
DynamoSent Pro+ is an adaptive, non-repainting macro sentiment engine that compresses VIX, DXY and a price-based activity proxy (e.g., SPX/sector ETF/your symbol) into a 0–100 sentiment line. It scales context by volatility (ATR%) and can self-calibrate with rolling quantile OB/OS. On top of that, it adds confidence scoring, a plain-English Context Coach, MTF agreement, exportable sentiment for other indicators, and a clean Light/Dark UI.
Why it’s different
• Adaptive lookback tracks regime changes: when volatility rises, we lengthen context; when it falls, we shorten—less whipsaw, more relevance.
• Dynamic OB/OS (quantiles) self-calibrates to each instrument’s distribution—no arbitrary 30/70 lines.
• MTF agreement + Confidence gate reduce false positives by highlighting alignment across timeframes.
• Exportable output: hidden plot “DynamoSent Export” can be selected as input.source in your other Pine scripts.
• Non-repainting rigor: all request.security() calls use lookahead_off + gaps_on; signals wait for bar close.
Key visuals
• Sentiment line (0–100), OB/OS zones (static or dynamic), optional TF1/TF2 overlays.
• Regime boxes (Overbought / Oversold / Neutral) that update live without repaint.
• Info Panel with confidence heat, regime, trend arrow, MTF readout, and Coach sentence.
• Session heat (Asia/EU/US) to match intraday behavior.
• Light/Dark theme switch in Inputs (auto-contrasted labels & headers).
⸻
How to use (examples & recipes)
1) EURUSD (swing / intraday blend)
• Preset: EURUSD 1H Swing
• Chart: 1H; TF1=1H, TF2=4H (default).
• Proxies: Defaults work (VIX=D, DXY=60, Proxy=D).
• Dynamic OB/OS: ON at 20/80; Confidence ≥ 55–60.
• Playbook:
• When sentiment crosses above 50 + margin with Δ ≥ signalK and MTF agreement ≥ 0.5, treat as trend breakout.
• In Oversold with rising Coach & TF agreement, take fade longs back toward mid-range.
• Alerts: Enable Breakout Long/Short and Fade; keep cooldown 8–12 bars.
2) SPY (daytrading)
• Preset: SPY 15m Daytrade; Chart: 15m.
• VIX (D) matters more; preset weights already favor it.
• Start with static 30/70; later try dynamic 25/75 for adaptive thresholds.
• Use Coach: in US session, when it says “Overbought + MTF agree → sell rallies / chase breakouts”, lean momentum-continuation after pullbacks.
3) BTCUSD (crypto, 24/7)
• Preset: BTCUSD 1H; Chart: 1H.
• DXY and BTC.D inform macro tone; keep Carry-forward ON to bridge sparse ticks.
• Prefer Dynamic OB/OS (15/85) for wider swings.
• Fade signals on weekend chop; Breakout when Confidence > 60 and MTF ≥ 1.0.
4) XAUUSD (gold, macro blend)
• Preset: XAUUSD 4H; Chart: 4H.
• Weights tilt to DXY and US10Y (handled by preset).
• Coach + MTF helps separate trend legs from news pops.
⸻
Best practices
• Theme: Switch Light/Dark in Inputs; the panel adapts contrast automatically.
• Export: In another script → Source → DynamoSent Pro+ → DynamoSent Export. Build your own filters/strategies atop the same sentiment.
• Dynamic vs Static OB/OS:
• Static 30/70: fast, universal baseline.
• Dynamic (quantiles): instrument-aware; use 20/80 (default) or 15/85 for choppy markets.
• Confidence gate: Start at 50–60% to filter noise; raise when you want only A-grade setups.
• Adaptive Lookback: Keep ON. For ultra-liquid indices, you can switch it OFF and set a fixed lookback.
⸻
Non-repainting & safety notes
• All request.security() calls use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off and gaps=barmerge.gaps_on.
• No forward references; signals & regime flips are confirmed on bar close.
• History-dependent funcs (ta.change, ta.percentile_linear_interpolation, etc.) are computed each bar (not conditionally).
• Adaptive lookback is clamped ≥ 1 to avoid lowest/highest errors.
• Missing-data warning triggers only when all proxies are NA for a streak; carry-forward can bridge small gaps without repaint.
⸻
Known limits & tips
• If a proxy symbol isn’t available on your plan/exchange, you’ll see the NA warning: choose a different symbol via Symbol Search, or keep Carry-forward ON (it defaults to neutral where needed).
• Intraday VIX is sparse—using Daily is intentional.
• Dynamic OB/OS needs enough history (see dynLenFloor). On short histories it gracefully falls back to static levels.

Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles“Trade your 5m chart with the eyes of the 1H — Apex Edge brings higher-timeframe structure and liquidity sweeps directly onto your execution chart.”
Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles
The Apex Edge – HTF Overlay Candles indicator overlays higher-timeframe (HTF) candles directly onto your lower-timeframe chart. Instead of flipping between timeframes, you see HTF structure “breathe” live on your execution chart.
What It Does
• HTF Body Boxes → open/close zones drawn as semi-transparent rectangles.
• HTF Wick Boxes → high/low extremes projected as envelopes around each body.
• Midpoint Line → a dynamic equilibrium line that flips bias as price trades above or below.
• Sweep Arrows → one-time markers showing the first liquidity raid at HTF highs or lows.
Under the Hood
This isn’t just a visual overlay — it’s engineered for accuracy and performance in PineScript.
1. HTF Data Retrieval
• Uses request.security() to import open, high, low, close, time from any selected HTF.
• lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off ensures OHLC values update bar by bar as the HTF
candle builds.
• When the HTF bar closes, boxes and midpoint lock to historical values — matching the
native HTF chart exactly.
2. Box Construction
• Body box: built from HTF open → close.
• Wick box: built from HTF high → low.
• Boxes extend dynamically across each HTF period, updating in real time, then freeze at
close.
3. Midpoint Logic
• (htfOpen + htfClose) / 2 calculates intrabar midpoint.
• Line drawn edge-to-edge across the active HTF body.
• Style, width, color, and opacity are user-controlled.
4. Sweep Detection
• Flags (sweepedHigh / sweepedLow) prevent clutter: only the first tap per side per HTF
candle is marked.
• Lower-timeframe price breaking the HTF high/low triggers the sweep arrow.
• Arrows are offset above/below wick envelopes for clean visuals.
5. Customisation
• Every layer (body, wick, midpoint, arrows) has independent color + opacity settings.
• Arrow size, arrow color, and transparency are adjustable.
• Default HTF = 1H (perfect for 5m/15m traders) but can be switched to 30m, 4H, Daily,
etc.
Why It’s Useful
• HTF intent + LTF execution without chart hopping.
• Liquidity mapping: see where liquidity is swept in real time.
• Bias clarity: midpoint line defines HTF equilibrium.
• Clean signals: only the first sweep prints — no spam.
What Makes It Different
Most MTF overlays just plot candles or single lines. This tool:
• Splits body vs wick zones for institutional precision.
• Updates live intrabar (no repainting).
• Highlights liquidity sweeps clearly.
• Built for readability and professional use — not another retail signal toy.
Cheat-Sheet Playbook
1️⃣ Structure Bias
• Above midpoint line = bullish intent.
• Below midpoint line = bearish intent.
• Chop around midpoint = no clear direction.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweeps
• ▲ Green up arrow below wick box = sell-side liquidity taken → watch for longs.
• ▼ Red down arrow above wick box = buy-side liquidity taken → watch for shorts.
• First sweep is the cleanest.
3️⃣ Trade Logic
• Body box = where institutions transact.
• Wick box = liquidity traps.
• Midpoint = bias filter.
• Best setups occur when sweep + midpoint flip align.
4️⃣ Example (5m + 1H Overlay)
1. ▲ Green up arrow prints below HTF wick.
2. Price reclaims the body box.
3. Midpoint flips to support.
4. Enter long → stop below sweep → targets = midpoint first, opposite wick second.
In short:
• Boxes = structure
• Wicks = liquidity pools
• Midpoint = bias line
• Arrows = liquidity sweeps
This is your SMC edge on one chart — HTF structure and liquidity fused directly into your execution timeframe.

Ichimoku + MTF Dashboard (Confidence + Row Shading)Name: Ichimoku + Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard
Purpose
This indicator is designed to give a complete trend, momentum, and alignment picture of a stock across multiple timeframes (hourly, daily, weekly) using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system. It combines:
Classic Ichimoku signals: Tenkan/Kijun crossovers, cloud position (Kumo), Chikou span, and cloud twists.
MTF Dashboard: Aggregates hourly, daily, and weekly Ichimoku conditions into a clean visual table.
Dynamic coloring: Each signal is represented with green/red fills, and rows are shaded for full alignment. Aggregate column highlights mixed signals in yellow.
EMA50 + SR Boxes + VP Right + ATR + SL% + Entries + SentimentThis indicator combines several pro-grade building blocks to read the market at a glance:
EMA50 as a trend filter.
Smart Support/Resistance zones (rectangles) detected where price has touched multiple times.
“U / Inverted U” markers (confirmed pivots).
Optional Buy/Sell signals: only when a U appears inside a support zone with price above the EMA50 (buy), or an inverted U inside a resistance zone with price below the EMA50 (sell).
Simplified right-side Volume Profile (with a special Forex fallback if volume isn’t usable).
ATR & SL%: displays current ATR and an SL% based on ATR(100) Daily / Close × 100, attached to the latest candle.
Moving Averages Trend FilterA filter to determine the trend using moving averages.
Plotted as text on a different panel.
Different outputs:
- Bullish Trend
- Bearish Trend
- Sideways
You can use up to 4 MAs. Fill in the inputs in order, be it the first being the fastest and the last being the slowest.
You can change between EMAs and SMAs. You can activate/deactivate the MAs to be used as a filter and choose them .
There's an option of minimum bars to define the trend.
**If the pane is mixed with the indicators, move it below using right click.
Entry Signals (Long/Short)The indicator visualizes precise entry signals for long and short setups directly on the price chart. Long is marked with a green triangle-up, short with a red triangle-down. To contextualize trend structure, the Fast EMA (5) is plotted in black and the Slow EMA (20) in blue (line width 1). Signals print only at bar close for reproducible execution. Applicable across all timeframes—ideal for top-down analysis from the 195-minute chart through daily to weekly.
ARO Pro — Adaptive Regime OscillatorARO Pro — Adaptive Regime Oscillator (v6)
ARO Pro turns your chart into a context-aware decision system. It classifies every bar as Trending (up or down) or Ranging in real time, then switches its math to match the regime: trend strength is measured with an ATR-normalized EMA spread, while range behavior is tracked with a center-based RSI oscillator. The result is cleaner entries, fewer false signals, and faster reads on regime shifts—without repainting.
⸻
How it works (under the hood)
1. Regime Detection (Kaufman ER):
ARO computes Kaufman’s Efficiency Ratio (ER) over a user-defined length.
- ER > threshold → Trending (direction from EMA fast vs. EMA slow)
- ER ≤ threshold → Ranging
2. Adaptive Oscillator Core:
- Trend mode: (EMA(fast) − EMA(slow)) / ATR * 100 → momentum normalized by volatility.
- Range mode: RSI(length) − 50 → mean-reversion pressure around zero.
3. Volatility Filter (optional):
Blocks signals if ATR as % of price is below a floor you set. This reduces noise in thin or quiet markets.
4. MTF Trend Filter (optional & non-repainting):
Confirms signals only if a higher timeframe EMA(fast) > EMA(slow) for longs (or < for shorts). Implemented with lookahead_off and gaps_on.
5. Confirmation & Alerts:
Signals are locked only on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed) and offered via three alert types: ARO Long, ARO Short, ARO Regime Shift.
⸻
What you see on the chart
• Background heat:
• Green = Trending Up, Red = Trending Down, Gray = Range.
• ARO line (panel): Adaptive oscillator (trend/value colors).
• Signal markers: ▲ Long / ▼ Short on confirmed bars.
• Guide lines: Upper/Lower thresholds (±K) and zero line.
• Info Panel (table): Regime, ER, ATR %, ARO, HTF status (OK/BLOCK/OFF), and a Confidence light.
• Debug Overlay (optional): Quick view of thresholds and raw conditions for tuning.
⸻
Inputs (quick reference)
• Signals: Fast/Slow EMA, RSI length, ER length & threshold, oscillator smoothing, signal threshold.
• Filters: ATR length, minimum ATR% (volatility floor), toggle for volatility filter.
• Visuals: Background on/off, Info Panel on/off, Debug overlay on/off.
• MTF (safe): Toggle + HTF timeframe (e.g., 240, D, W).
⸻
Interpreting signals
• Long: Trend regime AND fast EMA > slow EMA AND ARO ≥ +threshold (confirmed bar, filters passing).
• Short: Trend regime AND fast EMA < slow EMA AND ARO ≤ −threshold (confirmed bar, filters passing).
• Regime Shift: Alert when ER moves the market from Range → Trend or flips trend direction.
⸻
Practical use cases & examples
1) Intraday momentum alignment (scalps to day trades)
• Timeframes: 5–15m with HTF filter = 4H.
• Flow:
1. Wait for Trend Up background + HTF OK.
2. Enter on ▲ Long when ARO crosses above +threshold.
3. Stops: 1–1.5× ATR(14) below trigger bar or below last micro swing.
4. Exits: Partial at 1× ATR, trail remainder with an ATR stop or when ARO reverts to zero/Regime Shift.
• Why it works: You’re trading with the dominant higher-timeframe structure while avoiding low-volatility fakeouts.
2) Swing trend following (cleaner trend legs)
• Timeframes: 1H–4H with HTF filter = 1D.
• Flow:
1. Only act in Trend background aligned with HTF.
2. Add on subsequent ▲ signals as ARO maintains positive (or negative) territory.
3. Reduce or exit on Regime Shift (Trend → Range or direction flip) or when ARO crosses back through zero.
• Stops/targets: Initial 1.5–2× ATR; move to breakeven once the trade gains 1× ATR; trail with a multiple-ATR or structure lows/highs.
3) Range tactics (fade the extremes)
• Timeframes: 15m–1H or 1D on mean-reverting names.
• Flow:
1. Act only when background = Range.
2. Fade moves when ARO swings from ±extremes back toward zero near well-defined S/R.
3. Exit at the opposite band or zero line; abort if a Regime Shift to Trend occurs.
• Tip: Increase ER threshold (e.g., 0.35–0.40) to label more bars as Range on choppy instruments.
4) Event days & macro filters
• Approach: Raise the volatility floor (Min ATR%) on macro days (FOMC, CPI).
• Effect: You’ll ignore “fake” micro swings in the minutes leading up to releases and catch only post-event confirmed momentum.
⸻
Parameter tuning guide
• ER Threshold:
• Lower (0.20–0.30) = more Trend bars, more signals, higher noise.
• Higher (0.35–0.45) = stricter trend confirmation, fewer but cleaner signals.
• Signal Threshold (±K):
• Raise to reduce whipsaws; lower for earlier but noisier triggers.
• Volatility Floor (ATR%):
• Thin/quiet assets benefit from a higher floor (e.g., 0.3–0.6).
• Highly liquid futures/forex can work with lower floors.
• HTF Filter:
• Keep it ON when you want higher win consistency; turn OFF for tactical counter-trend plays.
⸻
Alerts (recommended setup)
• “ARO Long” / “ARO Short”: Entry-style alerts on confirmed signals.
• “ARO Regime Shift”: Context alert to scale in/out or switch playbooks (trend vs. range).
All alerts are non-repainting and fire only when the bar closes.
⸻
Best practices & combinations
• Price action & S/R: Use ARO to define when to engage, and price structure to define where (breakout levels, pullback zones).
• VWAP/Session tools: In intraday trends, ▲ signals above VWAP tend to carry; avoid shorts below session VWAP in strong downtrends.
• Risk first: Size by ATR; never let a single ARO event override your max risk per trade.
• Portfolio filter: On indices/ETFs, enable HTF filter and a stricter ER threshold to ride regime legs.
⸻
Non-repaint and implementation notes
• The script does not repaint:
• Signals are computed and locked on bar close (barstate.isconfirmed).
• All higher-timeframe data uses request.security(..., lookahead_off, gaps_on).
• No future indexing or negative offsets are used.
• The Info Panel and Debug overlay are purely visual aids and do not change signal logic.
⸻
Limitations & tips
• Chop sensitivity: In hyper-choppy symbols, consider raising ER threshold and the signal threshold, and enable HTF filter.
• Instrument personality: EMAs/RSI lengths and volatility floor often need a quick 2–3 minute tune per asset class (FX vs. crypto vs. equities).
• No guarantees: ARO improves context and timing, but it is not a promise of profitability—always combine with risk management.
⸻
Quick start (TL;DR)
1. Timeframes: 5–15m intraday (HTF = 4H); 1H–4H swing (HTF = 1D).
2. Use defaults, then tune ER threshold (0.25–0.40) and Signal threshold (±20).
3. Enable Volatility Floor (e.g., 0.2–0.5 ATR%) on quiet assets.
4. Trade ▲ / ▼ only in matching Trend background; fade extremes only in Range background.
5. Set alerts for Long, Short, and Regime Shift; manage risk with ATR stops.
⸻
Author’s note: ARO Pro is designed to be clear, adaptive, and operational out of the box. If you publish variants (e.g., different ER logic, alternative trend cores), please credit the original and document any changes so users can compare behavior reliably.

It trails intelligently, redraws as the market evolves, and annotates the chart with clean labels/lines and a compact stats table. Pick the engine that fits the trade, or switch on the fly.
What it does
Calculates three adaptive stops in real time (ATR-based, Volatility-based, and Hybrid) and keeps them trailed as price makes progress.
Shows exactly where your risk lives with on-chart levels, color-coded markers (long/short), and precise “Risk %” labels at the current bar.
Surfaces context you actually use - current ATR, daily volatility, selected method, and the live stop level—in a tidy, movable table.
Fires alerts on stop hits so you can automate exits or journal outcomes without staring at the screen.
Why it matters
Adaptive risk control: Stops expand in fast tape and tighten in quiet tape. You’re not punished for volatility; you’re aligned with it.
Consistency across assets: The same playbook works whether you’re trading indexes, FX, crypto, or equities, because the engine normalizes to each symbol’s behavior.
Cleaner decision-making: One chart shows your entry idea and its invalidation in the same breath. If price trespasses, you know it instantly.
The three methods (choose your engine)
1) ATR Based “Structure-aware” distance
This classic approach keys off Average True Range to set a stop just beyond typical bar-to-bar excursion. It adapts smoothly to changing ranges and respects swing structure.
Use when: you want a steady, intuitive buffer that tracks trend legs without hugging price.

2) Volatility Based “Behavior-aware” distance
This engine derives stop distance from current return volatility (annualized, then scaled back down to the session). It reacts to regime shifts quickly and normalizes risk across symbols with very different prices.
Use when: you want the stop to breathe with realized volatility and respond faster to heat-ups/cool-downs.
See it in action:
3) Hybrid “Best of both worlds”
The Hybrid blends the ATR and Volatility distances into one consensus level, then trails it intelligently. You get the structural common sense of ATR and the regime sensitivity of Vol.
Use when: you want robust, all-weather behavior without micromanaging inputs.
See it in action:
How it trails
Longs: The stop ratchets up with favorable movement and holds its ground on shallow pullbacks. If price closes back into the risk zone, the level refreshes to the newest valid distance.
Shorts: Mirror logic ratchets down with trend, resists noise, and refreshes if price reclaims the zone.
Hybrid trailing: Uses the blended distance and the same “no give-backs” principle to keep gains protected as structure builds.
Reading the chart
Markers: Circles = ATR stops, Crosses = Vol stops, Diamonds = Hybrid. Colors indicate long (red level under price) vs short (green level above price).
Lines: The latest active stop is extended with a dashed line so you can see it at a glance.
Labels: “Long SL / Short SL” shows the exact price and current risk % from the last close no math required.
Table: ATR value, Daily Vol %, your chosen Method, the Current SL, and Risk %—all in one compact block that you can pin top-left/right/center.
Quick workflow
Define the idea: Long or Short, and which engine fits the tape (ATR, Vol, or Hybrid).
Place and trail: Let the optimizer print the level; trail automatically as the move develops.
Manage outcomes: If the line is tagged, you’re out clean. If it holds, you’ve contained heat while giving the trade room to work.
Inputs you’ll actually touch
Calculation Settings
ATR Length / Multiplier: Controls the “structural” cushion.
Volatility Length / Multiplier: Controls the “behavioral” cushion.
Trading Days: 252 or 365 to keep the volatility math aligned with the asset’s trading calendar.
Stop Loss Method
ATR Based | Volatility Based | Hybrid : Switch engines instantly to fit the trade.
Position Type
Long | Short | Both : Show only what you need for the current strategy.
Visual Settings
Show ATR / Vol / Hybrid Stops: Toggle families on/off.
Show Labels: Print price + Risk % at the live stop.
Table Position: Park the metrics where you like.
Coloring
Long/Short/Hybrid colors: Set a palette that matches your theme and stands out on your background.
Practical patterns to watch
Trend-pullback continuation: The stop ratchets behind higher lows (long) or lower highs (short). If price tests the level and rejects, that’s your risk-defined continuation cue.
Break-and-run: After a clean break, the Hybrid will usually sit slightly wider than pure Vol, use it to avoid getting shaken on the first retest.
Range compression: When the ATR and Vol distances converge, the table will show small Risk %. That’s your green light to size up with the same dollar risk, or keep it conservative if you expect expansion.
Alerts
Long Stop Loss Hit : Notifies when price crosses below the live long stop.
Short Stop Loss Hit : Notifies when price crosses above the live short stop.
Why this feels “set-and-serious”
You get a single look that answers three questions in real time: “Where’s my line in the sand?”, “How much heat am I taking right now?”, and “Is this distance appropriate for current conditions?” With ATR, Vol, and Hybrid in one tool, you can run the exact same playbook across symbols and regimes while keeping your chart clean and your risk explicit.
