Syminfo.TypeHello traders
Earlier this week I discovered a new built-in variable called syminfo.type
What is it for?
This variable returns the type of the current symbol. Possible values are cfd, stock, futures, indices, forex, crypto, fund.
Cool bro but... should we care?
Well... we all should. Imagine you have a generic script and you want a different configuration whether you're trading FOREX or Crypto .
I designed a dummy example in that script that will preset the inputs according to the asset type from the chart.
Here I want 12/26/9 for forex and 20/50/50 for crypto - 30/60/90 otherwise
Quick caveat
It seems that for any crypto asset, syminfo.type returns "bitcoin". TradingView will fix it at some point but wanted to give you the heads-up regardless
Enjoy and all the BEST ^^

Open Interest Exponential Ease of MovementModified Ease of Movement :
* Open Interests used on Futures instead of Volume (Includes Bitcoin)
* Exponential Moving Average used instead of Simple Moving Average
* Division Number cancelled. (Division Number gives wrong signals inside strong trends.)

Stay tuned. Best regards !
Premium/Discount (Input)Used to show Contango or Backwardation in futures contracts vs spot price. You can input your own tickers so can technically can be used to compare anything.
* In this example I'm showing Okex Quarterly contract vs Okex spot index price because it showcases it better.
* If you are using this after 2019 the default setting will not work because I set it to Bitmex which does not currently have a "current contract in front" ticker available.
It should be fairly self explanatory, but just ask below if you have any questions.
Back - Front Futures Spread 4hr IndicatorThis puts a normalized back - front spread based on the close price.
BTC Price Spread - Coinbase & Futs - Premiums & DiscountsThis indicator takes the price of Bitcoin on Coinbase and the futures price on Mex, and compares it the average price of Bitcoin across other major exchanges.
This essentials give us a spread at which Bitcoin is going for.
In turn, this could be a possible tool to help determine market sentiment.
This indicator was created for experimental purposes.
Use at your own digression.
BTC Futures Settlement DatesShows the CBOE and CME settlement dates as horizontal lines, with the option to show a 7 day warning in the background. This should hopefully give ample warning.
I intend to update the script as new dates become available but please PM if I've forgotten.

GBPUSD Futures VolumeCame up with this based on a suggestion from sebmanby.
It plots volume from the MB1! futures, but can be changed to any other instrument.
Great idea sebmanby!
Now, I'd love to have better volume applied to the data from this, I'll have to try that one out :p

Full Session ATR Range (Live) - with Position ToggleBelow is a publication-ready text for the "Full Session ATR Range (Live) - with Position Toggle" indicator, written in a professional yet accessible style suitable for a trading community (e.g., TradingView or a blog). The text highlights the indicator's features, usage, and benefits, while avoiding overly technical jargon for a broad audience.

### Introducing the Full Session ATR Range (Live) Indicator with Position Toggle
Enhance your trading strategy with the **Full Session ATR Range (Live) Indicator**, a powerful tool designed to provide real-time insights into market volatility and session dynamics. This customizable indicator, now available with a position toggle feature, compares the current session's range to a 10-day Average True Range (ATR), helping traders gauge market activity and anticipate potential movements.
#### Key Features
- **Live Range Tracking**: Displays the current session's range (high minus low) alongside a 10-day ATR, updated in real-time during market hours.
- **Session Mode Flexibility**: Includes an auto-toggle option to switch between Electronic Trading Hours (ETH) and Regular Trading Hours (RTH), adapting to your preferred trading session. Manually select ETH or RTH, or let the indicator auto-detect based on market hours.
- **Comprehensive Metrics**: Offers a detailed breakdown including:
- Range/Avg %: Percentage of the current range relative to the 10-day ATR.
- Points Left: Remaining points to reach the average range.
- 100% Range Up/Dn: Potential upper and lower targets based on the ATR difference.
- **Position Customization**: Adjust the table's location on your chart with options like top-left, top-right, middle-center, or bottom-right for optimal visibility.
- **Visual Appeal**: Features a customizable background and text color to match your chart theme.
#### How It Works
The indicator calculates the 10-day ATR using daily data and tracks the current session's range, resetting at the start of each day or session change. During market hours (e.g., 6 AM - 8 PM CDT, adjustable), it updates live, providing actionable insights. When the market is closed, it displays historical ATR while marking live metrics as "n/a" to avoid confusion. The ETH/RTH toggle ensures the range reflects either the full extended session or the core trading hours, tailored to your strategy.
#### Why Use It?
Whether you're a day trader monitoring intraday volatility or a swing trader assessing longer-term trends, this indicator helps you:
- Identify overextended or underactive sessions compared to historical norms.
- Plan entries and exits with targets based on the 100% Range Up/Dn levels.
- Stay informed with a clean, adjustable display that fits your workflow.
#### Installation & Customization
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Adjust the ATR length (default: 10 days) and table position via the input settings.
3. Choose your session mode (Auto, ETH, or RTH) and customize colors to suit your style.
4. Test during market hours for live updates—note that static values may appear outside trading sessions.

Futures Key LevelsKey Levels — Sessions, Previous Ranges & Opens (Chicago-aligned sessions)
What it does
This indicator plots commonly used reference levels across multiple timeframes to help you frame the day and find confluence:
Sessions (Chicago TZ): London, New York, and Asia session high/low ranges.
Previous Period Ranges: Previous Day / Week / Month / Quarter / Year High/Low and optional Mid.
Opens: Current Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly opens.
Intraday (4H): Previous 4-Hour High/Low + optional Mid.
Monday Range: Captures Monday’s High/Low (and optional Mid) to use as a weekly reference.
Price-scale markers: Optional markers that track key levels on the price scale without adding extra lines.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
Higher-timeframe values are retrieved using request.security() and update when a new period begins (e.g., previous day’s H/L become fixed at the start of the new day).
Session ranges are built from bar data within session windows using time(session, "America/Chicago"):
London: 02:00–05:00 CT
New York: 08:30–15:00 CT
Asia: 20:00–00:00 CT
“Mid” levels are simple midpoints between each period’s High and Low.
Merge Levels: when different levels land at the same price, their labels are merged to reduce clutter (e.g., “PDH / PWH”).
Why this version is useful / original bits
All-white baseline for clean charts; session colors stand out by design: London = Yellow, New York = Aquatic Blue, Asia = Red.
Right-anchored mode lets you park levels to the right side of the chart with a configurable anchor distance.
Label merging keeps the display minimal when multiple levels coincide.
Price-scale-only markers available when you prefer fewer lines on the chart.
Inputs & customization
Display Style: Standard or Right Anchored (+ distance controls).
Levels toggles: enable/disable each period (Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Yearly), Monday range, 4H range, and session ranges.
Text: optional shorthand labels (e.g., PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL).
Colors: global white theme, with session highlights; you can override in the Inputs.
Price-scale markers: on/off toggle.
How to use it
Use previous High/Low as liquidity pools and areas to watch for sweeps, breaks, or retests.
The Monday range often frames the rest of the week; breaks or rejections around Monday H/L can be informative.
The 4H previous range gives intraday context—great for mean-reversion vs. continuation reads.
Session ranges help you see where the active session expanded price and where liquidity may remain.
Notes & limitations
Sessions are computed in America/Chicago; higher-TF levels use the symbol’s exchange timezone.
This is an indicator, not a strategy; it does not place trades or claim performance.
Always combine levels with your own execution rules (structure, momentum, risk).

Futures Rotation Strategy - Overlay (Tables & Signals)This strategy focuses on the laggards and leaders of the market indices and does some weird stuff and determines which to long or short.
Futures Weekly Open RangeThe weekly opening range ( high to low ) is calculated from the open of the market on Sunday (1800 EST) till the opening of the Bond Market on Monday morning (0800 EST). This is the first and most crucial range for the trading week. As ICT has taught, price is moving through an algorithm and as such is fractal; because price is fractal, the opening range can be calculated and projected to help determine if price is trending or consolidating. As well; this indicator can be used to incorporate his PO3 concept to enter above the weekly opening range for shorts if bearish, or entering below the opening range for longs if bullish.
This indicator takes the high and low of weekly opening range, plots those two levels, plots the opening price for the new week, and calculates the Standard Deviations of the range and plots them both above and below of the weekly opening range. These are all plotted through the week until the start of the new week.
The range is calculated by subtracting the high from the low during the specified time.
The mid-point is half of that range added to the low.
The Standard deviation is multiples of the range (up to 10) added to the high and subtracted
from the low.
At this time the indicator will only plot the Standard deviation lines on the minutes time frame below 1 hour.
Only the range and range lines will be plotted on the hourly chart.
Futures Tick and Point Value TableDisplays a table in the upper right corner of the chart showing the tick and point value in USD.
WTI Futures Break-Out StrategyThis Channel indicator is designed for 5 min time frame.
Pre-market high and low is defined per trading day between 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM EST.
How it works:
At 9:00 and 9:30 mark lines on Low and Hi levels.
Wait until a candle is closed above or below Low and Hi levels.
- Break-out high = long trade
- Break-out low = short trade
For additional confirmation, use either MACD or Stochastic RSI indicators.
Really Key Levels█ OVERVIEW
This indicator shows the most useful and universally used key trading levels (and only those) in a visually appealing way. Its originality lies in the fact that it was developed due to being unable to find an indicator that wasn't cluttered with other features or far less relevant levels, or one that would indicate the bar causing the level (i.e., not just using a horizontal line over the whole chart), or one that was well-programmed and didn’t frequently refresh for many seconds for no obvious reason, taking far too long to do so for such a seemingly simple indicator.
█ FEATURES
Shows the most frequently used key levels in a visually appealing way
Indicates the bar that causes the level, with the line starting at that bar
Works correctly and consistently on both RTH and ETH charts
Lines can be optionally extended both left and right, if the user prefers
Works with US/European stocks and US futures (at least)
Configurable futures regular session (default time is for CME futures, e.g., ES/NQ, etc.)
Users can configure line colour, style, and thickness
Adjustable label locations to prevent overlap with other indicator labels
Nice defaults that look good, and a well-contrasting label text colour
Well-documented, high-quality, open-source code for those who are interested
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator shows the following levels by a line starting at the bar that causes them:
Current Day RTH High/Low (visible and updated only during RTH; visible with no further updates in the post-market)
Current Day RTH Open (only after the RTH open)
Pre-Market High/Low (as it develops in the pre-market and fixed after RTH open)
Previous Day RTH Close
Previous Day RTH High/Low
Previous Day Pre-Market High-Low
Two Days Ago RTH Close
Other levels may be added in future versions, if requested and if they are Really Key Levels.
Regarding futures: despite being a 23-hour market (for CME futures, 5 p.m. the previous day to 4 p.m. the current day), most trading activity takes place together with the RTH on stock exchanges in New York, 08:30 to 3 p.m. Central (Chicago) time. Therefore, a user-configurable regular market is defined at those times, with times before this (from 5 p.m. the previous day) being considered pre-market, and times after this (until 4 p.m.) being considered post-market.
Care was taken so that the code uses no hard-coded time zones, exchanges, or session times. For this reason, it can in principle work globally. However, it very much depends on the information provided by the exchange, which is reflected in built-in Pine Script variables (see Limitations below).
█ LIMITATIONS
Pre-market levels are not shown when viewing an RTH chart.
The indicator was developed and tested on US/European stocks and US futures. It may or may not work for stocks and futures in other countries (depending on their pre- and post-market definitions and what information the exchange provides to TradingView via the relevant built-in Pine Script variable). It does not work on other security types, especially those with a 24-hour market that don't have a uniquely defined daily close, implicit H/L time window, or a pre-market.
Cash And Carry Arbitrage BTC Compare Month 6 by SeoNo1Detailed Explanation of the BTC Cash and Carry Arbitrage Script
Script Title: BTC Cash And Carry Arbitrage Month 6 by SeoNo1
Short Title: BTC C&C ABT Month 6
Version: Pine Script v5
Overlay: True (The indicators are plotted directly on the price chart)
Purpose of the Script
This script is designed to help traders analyze and track arbitrage opportunities between the spot market and futures market for Bitcoin (BTC). Specifically, it calculates the spread and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) from a cash-and-carry arbitrage strategy until a specific expiry date (in this case, June 27, 2025).
The strategy helps identify profitable opportunities when the futures price of BTC is higher than the spot price. Traders can then buy BTC in the spot market and short BTC futures contracts to lock in a risk-free profit.
1. Input Settings
Spot Symbol: The real-time BTC spot price from Binance (BTCUSDT).
Futures Symbol: The BTC futures contract that expires in June 2025 (BTCUSDM2025).
Expiry Date: The expiration date of the futures contract, set to June 27, 2025.
These inputs allow users to adjust the symbols or expiry date according to their trading needs.
2. Price Data Retrieval
Spot Price: Fetches the latest closing price of BTC from the spot market.
Futures Price: Fetches the latest closing price of BTC futures.
Spread: The difference between the futures price and the spot price (futures_price - spot_price).
The spread indicates how much higher (or lower) the futures price is compared to the spot market.
3. Time to Maturity (TTM) and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) Calculation
Current Date: Gets the current timestamp.
Time to Maturity (TTM): The number of days left until the futures contract expires.
APY Calculation:
Formula:
APY = ( Spread / Spot Price ) x ( 365 / TTM Days ) x 100
This represents the annualized return from holding a cash-and-carry arbitrage position if the trader buys BTC at the spot price and sells BTC futures.
4. Display Information Table on the Chart
A table is created on the chart's top-right corner showing the following data:
Metric: Labels such as Spread and APY
Value: Displays the calculated spread and APY
The table automatically updates at the latest bar to display the most recent data.
5. Alert Condition
This sets an alert condition that triggers every time the script runs.
In practice, users can modify this alert to trigger based on specific conditions (e.g., APY exceeds a threshold).
6. Plotting the APY and Spread
APY Plot: Displays the annualized yield as a blue line on the chart.
Spread Plot: Visualizes the futures-spot spread as a red line.
This helps traders quickly identify arbitrage opportunities when the spread or APY reaches desirable levels.
How to Use the Script
Monitor Arbitrage Opportunities:
A positive spread indicates a potential cash-and-carry arbitrage opportunity.
The larger the APY, the more profitable the arbitrage opportunity could be.
Timing Trades:
Execute a buy on the BTC spot market and simultaneously sell BTC futures when the APY is attractive.
Close both positions upon futures contract expiry to realize profits.
Risk Management:
Ensure you have sufficient margin to hold both positions until expiry.
Monitor funding rates and volatility, which could affect returns.
Conclusion
This script is an essential tool for traders looking to exploit price discrepancies between the BTC spot market and futures market through a cash-and-carry arbitrage strategy. It provides real-time data on spreads, annualized returns (APY), and visual alerts, helping traders make informed decisions and maximize their profit potential.
