Volume+ (RVOL By Time of Day)This script is an enhanced volume indicator.
It calculates relative volume (RVOL) based on the average volume at that time of day (rather than using a moving average).
For example, using this indicator you can see today’s volume during the first 5-minute candle of the market open compared to the previous day’s volume at the market open. Or you can see today’s volume at the market close during the last 15-minute candle compared to the average of the past 20 days of volume at the market close.
Due to the different quantity of candlesticks in a session between Stocks and Forex/Crypto, I separated those markets into separate settings, making this an all-in-one volume indicator that works on all markets.
Settings:
Stocks
If you set the lookback period to 1 on the 5-minute chart and look at the 9:30am candle for a stock, then the current volume bar will show you what today’s volume is compared to yesterday’s 9:30am 5-minute candle.
If you set the lookback period to 15, then the current volume bar will show you what today’s volume is compared to the average of the last 15 days of 9:30am 5-minute candles.
Max Lookback: 64 Sessions
Stocks
This setting is for traders who want to use this indicator on a timeframe lower than the 5-minute chart.
Due to limitations in how many historical bars PineScript can reference, referencing 1-minute and 3-minute bars requires a lot more historical data so I separated the two to allow the 5-minute+ timeframes to have a longer lookback period.
Max Lookback: 12 Sessions
Forex/Crypto
When you set the script to Forex/Crypto, it does the same thing for stocks but calculates based on a 24-hour period.
So if you set the lookback period to 1 on the 1-hour chart and look at the 11:00am candle for a currency pair, then the current volume bar will show you what today’s volume is compared to yesterday’s 11:00am 1-hour candle.
If you set the lookback period to 10, then the current volume bar will show you what today’s volume is compared to the average of the last 10 days of 11:00am 1-hour candles.
Max Lookback: 17 Sessions
What Doesn’t It Work On?
Because I had to manually calculate how many volume candles to look back per timeframe to get the previous session’s candle, I had to hard-code the math in this script.
That means that this indicator will only work on 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 45m, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, Daily and Weekly timeframes. If you try to use it on any other timeframe it will revert to a regular volume indicator.
Why Is It Useful?
Similar to volume profile by price, this gives you a volume profile by time in a way that the default volume indicator does not.
For example, you can use this to determine when a stock has a particularly strong opening drive, or when a currency pair has a weak fake-out leading up to the London open, or for general confirmation on trading signals with time-specific volume information to work with.
Colors
The purple line and the faint gray bar is the RVOL value.
The blue number is the percentage of the current volume bar relative to RVOL.
There are four different bar color settings:
Heatmap – Changes color to be brighter based on higher RVOL
Price – Changes color based on price action (like the default TradingView volume indicator)
Traffic – Changes color based on RVOL percentages (for fast visual cues)
Trigger – Changes color only when the specified alert conditions are met
Heatmap:
Traffic:
Trigger:
Price:
Heatmap:
Turns very bright green at 2.0 RVOL
Turns light green at 1.0 RVOL
Turns normal green at 0.75 RVOL
Turns medium green at 0.5 RVOL
Turns very dark green at 0.25 RVOL
Is gray otherwise.
Price:
Turns red if the price action candle closed bearish.
Turns green if the price action candle closed bullish.
Traffic:
Turns red if RVOL is between 1.0 and 1.5.
Turns orange if RVOL is between 1.5 and 2.0.
Turns dark green if RVOL is between 2.0 and 3.0.
Turns bright green if RVOL is above 3.0.
Is gray otherwise.
Trigger:
Turns teal if any of the given alert conditions in the user settings are met.
Alerts
Alerts are optional. You have to set them like any other indicator, by creating a new alert and selecting this indicator.
If you leave the "Alert At RVOL %" setting at 0, then alerts will only be triggered if the current candle exceeds the 1.0 (100%) RVOL level.
If you change the "Alert At RVOL %" setting then alerts will be triggered if the RVOL percentage (blue number) exceeds your given value. The blue number is a percentage of the average, so if it’s at 0.5, then it’s 50% of the average.
Notes
- This indicator only works with regular time bars. It will not work with range, tick, renko etc.
- This script has lookback limitations due to restrictions on how many historical bars PineScript can reference. The lookback limit varies based on the market type you choose. The more bars required for calculation the lower the lookback limit.
- If you use it on the Daily timeframe the lookback period will count as 1 week. If you use it on the Weekly timeframe the lookback period will count as 1 month. So a Lookback of 3 on the Daily would be 3 weeks of averages, a Lookback of 5 on the Weekly would be 5 months of averages (for that Day of Week or Week number).
- Big thanks to @tb12345 for the idea and for helping to field-testing the indicator!

BT Session VP & VolatilityBT Session VP v0.6 is a professional-grade Session Volume Profile designed for futures, index, and intraday traders who need clean, accurate session structure without clutter.
This tool builds a true volume distribution for each trading session using lower-timeframe data, detects high- and low-volume nodes, and tracks a dynamic Point of Control (POC) to help traders identify balance, acceptance, and trend conditions in real time.
• Index futures, session-based crypto trading
• Intraday equity index trading
• Momentum scalping with session context
• Auction market theory workflows
Features
• True session-based volume profile (RTH or ETH)
• Futures-correct ETH handling (18:00–17:00 session)
• Hard session fencing — no volume bleed between sessions
• Lower-timeframe volume aggregation for accuracy
• Dynamic Point of Control (POC) tracking
• High Volume Nodes (HVN) and Low Volume Nodes (LVN)
• Live session and prior session profiles
• Optional volatility-weighted volume
• Fully customizable colors, opacity, and labels
**Volatility-Weighted Volume** is an optional feature that adjusts how volume contributes to the session profile based on current market volatility.
Instead of treating all volume equally, BT Session VP can weight volume more heavily during periods of expansion and less during periods of compression.
When volatility weighting is enabled:
• If volatility is above its recent average, volume is amplified; below volume is dampened
• The strength of this effect is controlled by a user-defined multiplier
• Volatility weighting does not change price levels, Iit does not introduce signals or repainting. It only affects how volume contributes to the distribution
• The feature can be disabled at any time for a traditional volume profile
The Point of Control is calculated dynamically as the session evolves.
• If the POC remains stable for N bars, the market is considered balanced
• If the POC shifts upward, it reflects bullish acceptance
• If the POC shifts downward, it reflects bearish acceptance
• POC color changes automatically based on these conditions
This allows traders to quickly distinguish between balance, rotation, and trend days.
• HVN represent price levels where the market previously accepted value
• LVN represent areas of rejection or inefficiency
Nodes are filtered using:
• Local dominance logic
• Minimum separation (prevents clustering)
These levels often act as:
• Support / resistance
• Acceptance or rejection zones
• Rotation targets during balance
How traders use BT Session VP
• Identify balance vs trend days early
• Use POC direction to confirm market regime
• Trade rotations between HVNs during balance
• Fade LVNs during rejection
• Use prior session nodes as reaction levels
• Combine with momentum tools for confirmation
This indicator is designed to provide context , not signals.
It works best when combined with execution tools, order flow, or momentum confirmation.
XAUUSD Session Move Stats (Last 14 Days)This indicator analyzes Gold (XAUUSD) session behavior over the last 14 days and calculates how price typically moves during the Asia, London, and New York sessions.
For each session, it shows:
Average Max Up (%) – how far price moves up from session open
Average Max Down (%) – how far price moves down from session open
Average Net Close (%) – where price typically finishes relative to the session open
The data is calculated session-by-session and displayed in a table, helping traders understand session bias, volatility tendencies, and directional behavior.
Best used on intraday timeframes for session-based analysis and contextual trade planning (signals only, no automated trades).
ICT Asian & London Range + First Presented FVGIndicator: ICT Sessions + First Presented FVG
What it does: This tool automates the markup of key ICT (Inner Circle Trader) timeframes and entry signals. It allows you to trade on higher timeframes (like the 5m or 15m) while the script automatically "looks inside" the 1-minute chart to find specific setups for you.
Key Features:
Session Ranges (Asian & London)
Automatically highlights the Asian Session (8 PM - Midnight NY) and London Open (2 AM - 5 AM NY).
Draws a shaded box for the session's High and Low.
New: Extends the High and Low lines to 4:00 PM NY (end of the trading day) so you can use them as liquidity targets.
The "First Presented" FVG (Sniper Logic)
It detects the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms on the 1-minute chart immediately after a session starts.
It draws this 1-minute gap on your current chart, regardless of what timeframe you are viewing.
The FVG box automatically extends to the end of the trading day (4 PM NY), showing you where price might return to "mitigate" or react later in the day.
Atlas 8 Currency Session Momentum (6H, London)This indicator calculates real-time currency strength for the 8 major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF) using a balanced multi-pair engine and a 6-hour momentum reset.
🔍 How it works
The indicator computes the relative strength of each currency by averaging the percentage change of 7 major cross-pairs for each currency.
A currency's value increases when pairs where it is the base appreciate, and decreases when pairs where it is the quote depreciate.
This creates a symmetric and stable strength calculation similar to institutional relative-value models.
🕒 Session-based Momentum Reset
The global trading day is split into 4 × 6-hour blocks:
• 00:00–06:00 Tokyo
• 06:00–12:00 London
• 12:00–18:00 New York
• 18:00–24:00 Late US/Asia pre-open
At each new 6-hour session, all strength lines reset to 0.
This highlights fresh intraday momentum generated by liquidity transitions between sessions.
🎯 What the indicator shows
• Relative strength of all 8 currencies
• Smooth momentum curves using EMA smoothing
• Vertical dividers at each new session
• Background color for each session
• Real intraday build-up of strength/weakness (not cumulative from previous day)
This tool is designed for intraday traders who follow cross-currency momentum during session transitions (Tokyo → London → NY).
🧭 How to use it
• Look for the strongest vs weakest currency after each session reset
• Identify fresh trends during London and NY opens
• Confirm currency-pair bias using strength divergence
• Track momentum exhaustion when lines flatten or converge

Time Intervals [signBTC]This script is designed to visualize 6 auxiliary time intervals on the chart near the time axis. Each of these intervals can be configured by the user with the following options:
Interval duration: Any duration can be set (for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.).
Interval color: Each time block can have its own color for better visual distinction.
Label: Users can add a custom label for each of the 6 intervals to indicate its purpose or highlight important features.
In the default configuration, the script automatically draws 6 equal four-hour intervals for each trading day, dividing each daily trading session into six parts—two for each of the three standard market sessions, or three per each of two major sessions (if considering only regular daytime and extended overnight trading).
This tool is particularly useful for traders who want to quickly navigate different time areas of the trading day, monitor individual parts of a session, or highlight specific time windows for strategy analysis. All script parameters (interval, color, and label for each block) are easily adjustable in the indicator's settings.

DM Support / Resistance (USA Session)This indicator is specifically designed for use on the 4-hour time frame and helps traders identify key support and resistance levels during the USA trading session (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time). The indicator calculates important price levels to assist in making well-informed entry and exit decisions, particularly for those focusing on swing trades or longer-term intraday strategies. It also includes a feature to skip setups when relevant fundamental news is scheduled, ensuring you avoid trading during periods of high volatility.
Key Features:
Support and Resistance Levels (S1 & R1):
The indicator calculates and displays Support 1 (S1) and Resistance 1 (R1) levels, which act as key barriers for price action and help traders spot potential reversal or breakout zones on the chart.
Pivot Point (PP):
The Pivot Point (PP) is calculated as the average of the previous period's high, low, and close. It serves as a central reference point for market direction, allowing traders to evaluate whether the market is in a bullish or bearish trend.
Market Bias:
The Bias is shown as a histogram that helps traders assess the strength of the market trend. A positive bias suggests bullish sentiment, while a negative bias signals bearish conditions. This can be used to confirm the overall trend direction.
4-Hour Time Frame:
The indicator is optimized for the 4-hour time frame, making it suitable for traders looking for swing trades or those who wish to capture longer-term trends within the USA session. The key support, resistance, and pivot levels are recalculated dynamically to reflect price action over 4-hour periods.
Dynamic Plotting and Alerts:
Support and resistance levels are drawn as dashed horizontal lines, updating in real-time to reflect the most current market data during the USA session. Alerts can be set for significant price movements crossing these levels.
Stop-Loss Strategy Based on 15-Minute Time Frame:
A unique feature of this indicator is its stop-loss strategy, which uses 15-minute time frame support and resistance levels. When a long or short entry is triggered on the 4-hour chart, traders should place their stop-loss according to the relevant 15-minute support or resistance level.
If the price closes above the 15-minute support for a long entry, or closes below the 15-minute resistance for a short entry, it signals the need to exit or adjust your position based on these levels.
Fundamental News Filter:
To avoid unnecessary risk, the indicator incorporates a fundamental news filter. If there is relevant news scheduled during the USA session, such as high-impact economic data or central bank announcements, the indicator will skip the setup for that period. This prevents traders from entering positions during times of elevated volatility caused by news events, which could result in unpredictable price movements.
How to Use:
Long Entry: When the Bias is positive and the price breaks above Support 1 (S1), this signals a potential bullish move. Consider entering a long position at this point.
Stop-Loss Strategy: Set your stop-loss at the respective 15-minute support level. If the price closes below this level, it could signal a reversal, prompting you to exit the trade.
Short Entry: When the Bias is negative and the price breaks below Resistance 1 (R1), this signals a potential bearish move. Enter a short position at this point.
Stop-Loss Strategy: Set your stop-loss at the respective 15-minute resistance level. If the price closes above this level, exit the short trade as it could indicate a bullish reversal.
Pivot Point (PP): The Pivot Point serves as a reference level to gauge potential price reversals. A move above the PP suggests a bullish bias, while trading below the PP suggests a bearish outlook.
Bias Histogram: The Bias Histogram helps confirm trend direction. A positive bias confirms long positions, while a negative bias reinforces short trades.
Avoid Trading During High-Impact News: If there is significant economic news or fundamental events scheduled during the USA session, the indicator will automatically skip any potential setup. This feature ensures you avoid entering trades that might be affected by unexpected news-driven volatility, keeping your trading strategy safer and more reliable.
Why Use This Indicator:
The 4-hour time frame is ideal for traders who prefer swing trading or those looking to capture longer-term trends in a structured manner. This indicator provides crucial insights into market direction, support/resistance levels, and potential entry/exit points.
The stop-loss management based on the 15-minute support and resistance levels helps traders protect their positions from sudden price reversals, ensuring more precise risk management.
The fundamental news filter is particularly useful for avoidance of high-risk periods. By skipping setups during high-impact news events, traders can avoid entering trades when price volatility could be unpredictable.
Overall, this indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to make data-driven decisions based on technical analysis while ensuring that their positions are managed responsibly and avoiding news-driven risk.
Kviateq - Session Opening RangesThis indicator plots the opening range for each of the market sessions.
Users can chose the length of the opening range, as well as change the time for each of the sessions.
This script is based on opening range breakout strategies, which entail taking a long/short depending on which way the price breaks out.
To trade it, we wait for the session opening range to print, and then we enter upon a candle close.
It's meant to be used on lower timeframes, ideally one hour or lower.
It can be used by itself, but it works even better in combination with other indicators, like moving averages.

High & Low Of Custom SessionThis script boxes a custom session and sets the box at the high and low of the session and draws that box to the next session.
Box color is determined by price in relation to the box position. Box color is set at the start of the next session. This allows
user to lookback at multiple box sets to see how each day closed in relation to the session highlighted.
I have written this for backtesting purposes and intend to expand it to use with volume analysis and gradient color to change the box color based on how many times price tests
the box.
Market Profile with Past SessionsThis script plots market profiles that show the amount of time price has remained at a particular level during past sessions, often referred to as "time price opportunity".
TV user @LonesomeTheBlue created the original Market Profile indicator on which this script is based. This version makes minor changes to the automatic timeframes, and to show historic market profiles and points of control.
The market profile drawing begins at the START of the relevant session being profiled and extends to the right. There is a checkbox in the options that will plot the market profile at the END of the relevant session, if desired.
If you want to view the market profiles for shorter or longer sessions, use the drop down menu to take the Higher Time Frame setting off "Auto", and instead select a specific time interval that is HIGHER than the timeframe your chart is showing.
The market profile and points of control can be used to identify areas likely to serve as potential support or resistance, as well areas where price is likely to retest when it is ranging.

NY Session Vol Entries (RB Trading)NY Session Vol Entries (RB Trading)
NY Session Vol Entries is an intraday analysis script designed to evaluate price behavior during U.S. market hours on the one hour chart. It focuses on the interaction between relative volume expansion, adaptive volatility structure, and directional momentum alignment to help users interpret active market conditions.
The script is intended specifically for liquid U.S. equities during the New York session and is not designed for use outside this context.
Intended Usage and Scope
• Timeframe: 1 hour only
• Market hours: New York session
• Asset class: U.S. equities with consistent volume
• Style: Intraday structure and momentum evaluation
• Alerts: Available for all signal types
Core Framework
The script evaluates market behavior through three interdependent components that must align before a setup is displayed:
Relative volume behavior
Volatility expansion and contraction
Directional momentum context
This structure helps filter low-participation periods and reduce noise.
Relative Volume Analysis
The script compares current volume to a rolling 14-period average to identify periods where participation meaningfully deviates from typical conditions.
Elevated volume often occurs during session opens or active repricing phases. When volume remains muted, the script suppresses signals to avoid low-quality environments.
Adaptive Volatility Structure
Volatility bands are calculated using an 8-period true range measurement. These bands adjust dynamically based on recent volatility rather than remaining static.
During elevated participation, the bands compress to reflect tighter price acceptance. As volatility expands, the bands trail price to help visualize directional structure.
Directional Momentum Context
Directional context is determined using a dual moving average relationship.
• When short-term momentum is above longer-term momentum, the script allows only bullish evaluations
• When short-term momentum is below longer-term momentum, the script allows only bearish evaluations
This alignment reduces counter-directional signals and helps maintain structural consistency. The filter can be disabled if users wish to study range behavior.
Signal Classification
The script displays two types of informational labels:
Volume-Aligned Signals
These appear only when directional momentum and relative volume expansion align at candle close.
Momentum Rotation Signals
These indicate directional shifts regardless of volume and are intended to provide context rather than standalone triggers.
All signals are confirmed only after the candle closes. No intrabar logic is used.
Stop and Target Reference Plotting
When conditions align, the script plots visual reference levels:
• A stop reference positioned beyond the momentum structure
• A projected target reference calculated using a fixed 2R multiple relative to the stop distance
These levels are provided for consistency and planning. They are not forecasts or guarantees.
Session and Timing Considerations
The script is designed specifically for New York market hours. Liquidity and participation outside this window often distort volume and volatility behavior.
Earnings sessions should be treated with caution, as event-driven price action can override normal structural behavior.
Opening Range Consideration
The first one hour candle of the New York session can display elevated volatility due to initial repricing. Allowing additional candles to form may provide clearer structural information before evaluating signals.
Why One Hour and New York Session
The one hour timeframe balances structure and responsiveness while reducing lower-timeframe noise. New York trading hours provide the most reliable volume profile for U.S. equities, making relative volume analysis more meaningful.
Settings Overview
• Volatility period: 8
• Volatility multiplier: 3.0
• Volume average period: 14
• Momentum averages: 8 and 21
• Trend filter: Enabled by default
• Alerts available for all signal types
Chart Usage Guidelines
• Use the script on a clean chart
• Avoid stacking additional momentum or volume indicators
• Drawings should only be used when they help interpret structure
Important Notes
This script analyzes historical price and volume behavior. It does not predict future price movement or ensure outcomes. Users should test the tool, understand its logic, and apply independent risk management.
