Volume vs Body Alert.Vsa
"This VSA-based indicator identifies potential anomalies in price action by detecting candles that show a larger body size than the previous candle while simultaneously having lower volume. This 'more result with less effort' pattern can signal weakness, manipulation, or potential trend exhaustion. Visual signals and customizable alerts notify traders when these conditions occur."
Student Alpha VWAPStudent Alpha VWAP is a flexible, anchor-based VWAP tool designed for traders who want deeper control over intraday and higher-timeframe volume-weighted trend analysis.
The indicator supports multiple anchor types—including Sessions, Weeks, Months, Quarters, Years, and event-based anchors such as Earnings, Dividends, and Splits—allowing VWAP to automatically reset at meaningful market intervals.
The script includes up to three optional VWAP bands. These can be calculated using standard deviation or percentage-based distance, making the tool adaptable for volatility modeling, mean-reversion strategies, or structural trend assessment.
Bands and colors are fully customizable, while an optional filter hides VWAP on 1D+ charts for cleaner high-timeframe layouts.
Features include:
• Event-aware VWAP anchoring (Earnings / Dividends / Splits)
• Standard deviation or percentage-based VWAP bands
• Three independent band multipliers with visual fills
• Automatic timeframe and period detection
• Offset controls and full plot toggle options
This tool aims to give traders a more adaptable, context-aware version of VWAP that fits both systematic and discretionary workflows.
Fibonacci Volume Profile [Auto-Anchored & Dynamic]The Concept: Structure Meets Participation Traders often treat Market Structure (Fibonacci Retracements) and Market Participation (Volume) as separate tools. This indicator merges them into a single, cohesive system.
Standard Volume Profiles are often static or require manual placement. Standard Fibonacci tools show where price might reverse, but not how much effort was spent there. This script solves that by automatically anchoring a high-definition Volume Profile to your most recent market swing, giving you a dynamic view of volume distribution relative to Fibonacci structural zones.
How It Works This is not a simple "tick" volume profile. It is a custom-built, array-based engine that:
Identifies the Swing: Automatically scans the last X bars (user-defined) to find the absolute Swing High and Swing Low.
Anchors the Profile: Draws the Volume Profile precisely covering the time duration of that swing.
Calculates Distribution: Using a "Smart Fill" algorithm, it distributes volume across price rows without gaps, ensuring a solid, institutional-grade look even on steep trends.
Dynamic Scaling: The width of the profile is responsive. It occupies a percentage of the swing's duration, meaning it scales perfectly whether you are zooming in, zooming out, or dragging chart margins.
Key Features
Auto-Anchored: No need to manually draw "Fixed Range" tools. The script adapts as new highs/lows are made.
Smart Fill Technology: Eliminates the "barcode" effect seen in basic scripts. Price rows are filled continuously for a solid distribution curve.
Split Volume Analysis: Bars are dual-colored (Teal/Red by default) to visualize Buy (Up Candle) vs. Sell (Down Candle) volume composition at every price level.
Point of Control (POC): Automatically highlights the price level with the highest volume (The "King" line) in Red.
Responsive Geometry: The profile width is defined as a percentage of the swing itself. It breathes with the chart.
Garbage Collection: Optimized for performance. Old drawings are cleared instantly when the chart moves, preventing "ghost" drawings or lag.
Settings Guide
Lookback Length: How far back the script scans for the High/Low (Default: 200). Increase this for higher timeframes or longer trends.
Resolution: The number of rows in the profile. (Default: 100). Higher = smoother definition.
Width (% of Swing): Controls how wide the profile is relative to the trend duration. (Default: 40%).
Colors: Fully customizable Buy, Sell, and POC colors to match your dark/light theme.

DT 20 200 VWAP Combo v2DT 20 200 VWAP Combo is a simple trend and bias tool that combines three core pieces of context on one chart
• Short term momentum with the 20 EMA
• Higher time frame trend with the 200 EMA
• Value with a flexible anchored VWAP
Use it to quickly answer three questions
What is the bigger picture trend
Where is price trading relative to value
Is my entry idea trading with or against that structure
What this indicator does
Plots a 20 EMA for short term momentum
Plots a 200 EMA for overall trend bias
Plots a VWAP that you can anchor in different ways
Session
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Yearly
Colors the background when price and EMAs agree with the selected VWAP
Bull zone when 20 EMA is above 200 EMA and price is above VWAP
Bear zone when 20 EMA is below 200 EMA and price is below VWAP
Optionally prints labels when
20 EMA crosses above or below 200 EMA
Price crosses above or below the chosen VWAP
How to use it in your process
Set your VWAP anchor
Session if you are intraday focused
Daily or Weekly if you want a cleaner swing bias
Monthly or Yearly for longer swing context
Use the 200 EMA and anchored VWAP as your higher time frame filter
Only look for longs when price is above both
Only look for shorts when price is below both
Use the 20 EMA as your timing tool
Look for entries in the direction of the background color
Avoid trades that fight both EMAs and VWAP at the same time
This is not a complete trading system by itself
It is a context and confluence tool that works best when combined with your own price action and liquidity model such as structure shifts, sweeps, or a pattern based entry
Nothing in this script is financial advice
Always test and refine any idea in a demo environment and in a written plan before risking real capital
FVG PilotWhat it does
Automatically detects and draws Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the chart.
Removes an FVG as soon as it’s invalidated (bullish FVG invalid if price closes below its lower bound; bearish FVG invalid if price closes above its upper bound).
Triggers alerts only during Silver Bullet (SB) sessions in Europe/Berlin time when a new FVG is created.
Optionally draws two thin vertical lines at the start and end of each SB session so you can see the windows at a glance.
Runs on confirmed bars to avoid repainting.
How FVGs are detected
Wick mode (default):
Bullish FVG when low > high → gap [high , low]
Bearish FVG when high < low → gap [high, low ]
Body mode (optional): uses candle bodies instead of wicks:
Bullish FVG when current body low > prior body high
Bearish FVG when current body high < prior body low
Silver Bullet sessions (Europe/Berlin)
Three configurable session windows (default examples):
SB1: 10:00–11:00
SB2: 02:00–03:00
SB3: 07:00–08:00
Alerts for new FVGs fire only inside these windows.
Session lines: a thin vertical line is drawn on the first bar inside a session (start) and on the first bar after a session (end).
Inputs
Show Bullish / Bearish FVGs
Use Bodies (instead of wicks)
Minimum FVG size (in ticks)
Box opacity
SB sessions: enable/disable each window and set times (Europe/Berlin)
Session line toggle + color/width
Alerts included
SB (Berlin): Bullish FVG created – fires only during SB sessions
SB (Berlin): Bearish FVG created – fires only during SB sessions
Bullish FVG invalidated – fires when a bullish FVG is invalidated (no time filter)
Bearish FVG invalidated – fires when a bearish FVG is invalidated (no time filter)
How to set alerts (TradingView)
Click Create Alert.
Condition: choose this indicator, then pick one of the alert conditions above.
Select your alert options (once per bar close is recommended), then Create.
Tips
If you don’t see boxes, reduce Minimum FVG size or lower opacity (e.g., 70–85).
Body mode is stricter; start with wicks if you want more signals.
SB windows use Europe/Berlin and automatically account for DST.
The script respects platform limits for drawings; if your chart is cluttered, zoom in or reduce active sessions.
Ribbon Flip Signals (green=BUY, red=SELL)Ribbon Flip Signals highlight the exact moment when market momentum shifts and the trend direction changes. When the ribbon transitions from bearish to bullish, a Buy Flip appears, signaling rising strength and a potential upward move. When the ribbon shifts from bullish to bearish, a Sell Flip appears, marking weakening momentum and a likely reversal or exit point.
Ribbon Flip Signals help traders spot trend changes early, filter out noise, and enter only when momentum aligns with direction. This makes every shift in the ribbon a clear, actionable signal rather than just a visual change.
Void Ribbon Pro (v2.2.5)Void Ribbon Pro is a custom, private TradingView indicator designed to simplify market decision-making by providing clear buy and sell signals based on trend strength, volatility conditions, and price interaction with liquidity “voids.”
Instead of overwhelming traders with dozens of variables, Void Ribbon Pro condenses market structure into a single ribbon-based model that visually shows when the market is shifting into a favorable long or exit condition.
How It Works
Void Ribbon Pro uses a dynamic ribbon composed of multiple adaptive moving averages that expand and contract based on volatility and trend momentum. This ribbon acts as both a trend filter and a signal engine:
BUY signal when price regains strength above the ribbon, momentum flips positive, and the model detects a filled or forming liquidity void beneath price.
SELL signal (or exit signal) when price closes back below the ribbon, trend strength weakens, or momentum reverses.
Key Features
Automatic Buy & Sell Signals
Removes emotional bias by highlighting high-probability entries and exits.
Void Detection
Identifies gaps, inefficiencies, and liquidity voids that often lead to strong continuation or reversal moves.
Adaptive Trend Ribbon
The ribbon thickens during high-volatility expansions and tightens during consolidation, making trend phases visually obvious.
Auto-Filtering for Choppy Markets
Helps avoid false signals by tightening thresholds during sideways conditions.
No Short Signals (Long-Bias Model)
Designed for simplicity — focuses only on high-quality long setups and exit conditions.
Clean, easy-to-read visuals
Perfect for newer traders who need clarity and for experienced traders who want one tool that quickly shows trend + momentum + inefficiencies at a glance.
What Problem It Solves
Most retail traders struggle with:
Information overload
Conflicting indicators
Not knowing when a trend is strong enough to enter
Panic-exiting too early or too late
Void Ribbon Pro solves this by giving a single unified signal system, showing:
When the market is strong, building momentum → Buy
When the push is weakening or reversing → Sell / Exit
When a liquidity void is forming or being filled → Extra confluence
Trend & Pullback Cycle How to use.
Trend Identification:
Green Columns: The cycle is above 50. Look for Longs.
Red Columns: The cycle is below 50. Look for Shorts.
Pullback Detection:
I added a Colour Change feature. If the Green bars turn Dark Green, it means momentum is fading (a pullback is happening). This is your signal to get ready to enter or add to a position once it turns Bright Green again.
The Yellow Line:
This is your trigger. In the screenshot, you see the bars cross the yellow line.
Entry Signal: When the Histogram crosses above the Yellow line (while generally green) or crosses below it (while generally red).
SMAs TimePortalPlots 5× SMAs from 3 different timeframes - plus current chart timeframe
Plots 2× VWAPs with bands.
Meant for personal use, but maybe you can find it useful too.
Disclaimer: Beware I might update this with big changes in the future.
Regime Filter [BigBeluga] Modified by Claude to move tableThis is a copy of Regime Filter that has been modified by Anthropic's Claude to move the overlay table to different positions.
Volume Anomaly AVWAP BiasThis indicator detects volume anomaly candles and tracks their anchored VWAPs. It measures the percentage of following candles that close on the favored side of each anomaly's VWAP and only continues to track anomalies with strong directional bias until broken.
Buy vs Sell Volume EMA + Smart Momentum Shift (Crypto)This is a volume-based momentum indicator for crypto that:
Splits total volume into buy vs. sell volume based on candle direction.
Applies EMAs to buy/sell volume and tracks slope and acceleration of those EMAs.
Looks for moments where buyer volume momentum is improving and seller momentum is fading.
Optionally requires RSI and/or MACD confirmation, a “near recent low” location filter, and a score threshold based on several micro-conditions.
Outputs:
Colored background depending on whether buy or sell volume dominates.
EMA crossover arrows (“Buy” and “Sell”) for simpler regime shifts.
Green dots (“Strong Buy Momentum Shift”) when all filters are satisfied.
Alert conditions for the above signals.
It runs in a separate pane (overlay=false) and is explicitly designed for crypto, but works on any symbol/interval.
Volume profilerMulti-Range Volume Analysis & Absorption Detection
This tool visualises market activity through multi-range volume profiling and absorption signal detection. It helps you quickly identify where volume expands, compresses, or diverges from expected behaviour.
What it does
Volume Profiler plots four volume EMAs (short / mid / long / longer) so you can gauge how current volume compares to different market regimes.
It also highlights structural volume extremes:
• Low-volume bars (liquidity withdrawal)
These are potential signs of exhaustion, pauses, or low liquidity environments.
• High-volume + Low-range absorption
A classic footprint-style signal where aggressive volume fails to move price.
Often seen during:
absorption of one side of the book
liquidity collection
failed breakouts
institutional accumulation/distribution
You can choose:
which EMA defines “high volume”
how to measure candle range (High-Low, True Range, or Body)
how to define baseline volatility (ATR or average range)
Alerts are included so you can monitor absorption automatically.
Features
Multi-range volume EMAs (10 / 50 / 100 / 300 by default)
Low-volume bar flags
Absorption detection based on custom thresholds
Customisable volatility baseline
Optional bar colouring
Labels displayed directly in the volume pane
Alert conditions for absorption events
How to use
This indicator is valuable for:
confirming trend strength or weakness
detecting absorption before reversal or breakout continuation
finding low-liquidity pauses
identifying volume expansion across different time horizons
footprint-style behavioural confirmation without needing order-flow data
Works across all markets and timeframes.
Notes
This script is intended for educational and analytical use.
It does not repaint.
ORB (Opening Range Bound) / VP (Volume Profile)This script is designed for intraday traders who rely on session momentum and volume context to make decisions. It combines two robust market concepts—the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) and Volume Profile (VP)—into a single, highly customizable toolkit. By overlaying price momentum (ORB) with volume consensus (VP), traders can identify high-probability breakout targets and key support/resistance levels simultaneously.
1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The Opening Range Breakout is a momentum strategy that uses the first period of a trading session (e.g., the first 15 or 30 minutes) to define the day's likely trend and volatility.
How it works:
Session Definition: The script allows you to define a specific "Market Session" (default 09:30–16:00) and an "Opening Range Timeframe" (default 15 minutes).
The Range: Once the opening timeframe concludes, the script automatically draws the High and Low of that period. The space between these lines is often considered a "chop zone" or "no-trade zone."
Breakout Targets (Extensions): The script projects "Extension Levels" above and below the range. These are calculated as percentages of the opening range size (50%, 100%, 150%, 200%). Example: If the opening range is 10 points wide, the 100% extension will be 10 points above the high. These extensions serve as dynamic Take Profit targets or resistance levels during a trend day.
2. Volume Profile & Point of Control (POC)
While the ORB tracks price action, the Volume Profile tracks auction theory—specifically, where volume has been transacted most heavily over the recent price history.
How it works:
Lookback Period: Unlike fixed-session profiles, this script uses a rolling lookback period (defined by "Number of Bars", default 200). This allows you to see the immediate volume context for the current price action regardless of the time of day.
Point of Control (POC): The script highlights the price level with the highest traded volume in bright red (customizable). The POC acts as a "magnet" for price; price often reverts to the POC in ranging markets or bounces off it in trending markets.
Value Area: The profile highlights the "Value Area" (default 70%), which represents the price range where 70% of the trading activity occurred. Breakouts from the Value Area often signal a shift in market sentiment.
Up/Down Volume Split: The profile bars are split into two colors to visualize buying pressure vs. selling pressure at each price node.
How to Use This Script:
This indicator is most effective when the two concepts are used in tandem:
Context: Use the Volume Profile to see if price is currently "accepted" (inside the Value Area) or "rejected" (outside).
Trigger: Wait for the Opening Range to complete. A break above the ORB High suggests bullish momentum.
Confluence: Check if an ORB Extension level aligns with a Volume Profile node.
- Bullish Case: If price breaks the ORB High and the Volume Profile shows thin volume above (low resistance), the move is likely to run toward the extension targets.
- Reversal Case: If price hits an ORB Extension (e.g., 200%) and that level coincides with a high-volume node or POC from the previous day's lookback, it may act as strong resistance.
Settings Overview
ORB Settings: Fully adjustable session times, timeframes, and line styles. You can toggle up to 4 extension levels with custom percentages.
VP Settings: Adjust the "Number of Bars" to change how far back the profile looks. Adjust "Row Size" for higher definition profiles.
Visuals: Every color, line width, and fill opacity is customizable to fit dark or light themes.

## 🎯 FIXED: ANCHORED VWAP (TIMESTAMP-BASED)
**The VWAP now anchors with SURGICAL PRECISION to the exact session start candle!**
```
LONDON SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 3:00 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 3 AND minute == 0
• Resets every morning at London Open
NEW YORK SESSION:
• Anchors at the EXACT 9:30 AM ET candle
• Uses timestamp checking: hour == 9 AND minute == 30
• Resets every day at NY Open
WHAT THIS MEANS:
✅ VWAP starts accumulating from the first tick of the session
✅ No more "off by one bar" errors
✅ Institutional-grade VWAP anchoring
✅ Perfect alignment with your ORB start times
HOW TO VERIFY IT'S WORKING:
1. Load indicator on 1min or 5min chart
2. Find the exact 9:30 AM candle (NY) or 3:00 AM candle (London)
3. VWAP should START appearing from that exact bar
4. Not the bar before, not the bar after - THAT EXACT BAR

STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```
---
## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity
```

## 📊 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The 2-System Confluence Method:**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 1: SNIPER ORB → Defines "Zones That Matter" │
│ • 30min ORB = primary institutional range │
│ • VWAP = fair value anchor │
│ • Targets = profit zones │
│ • 5min/15min = early warning signals │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER → Triggers precise entry │
│ • Wait for GOD MODE signal AT 30min ORB boundary │
│ • 6-gate filter: Score ≥9, fat body ≥70%, delta ≥70% │
│ • Candle Dominance Index (CDI) ≥7 │
│ • Intrabar pressure consistent throughout formation │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ STEP 3: EXECUTE TRADE │
│ • ORB breakout + GOD MODE = MAXIMUM PROBABILITY │
│ • Enter ONLY when BOTH systems align │
│ • This is TRUE "sniper" trading (2-5 trades/day max) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Confluence Scoring for Combined System:**
```
SNIPER ORB Criteria:
□ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM+) +2 points
□ All 3 ORBs broken in same direction +2 points
□ VWAP alignment (below=bull, above=bear) +1 point
□ Volume spike on breakout candle +1 point
□ Tight 3-ORB compression (<100pt divergence) +1 point
YM ULTIMATE SNIPER Criteria:
□ GOD MODE signal at ORB boundary +3 points
□ Score ≥9.0 (tier classification) +1 point
□ Candle Dominance Index (CDI) ≥8 +1 point
TOTAL POSSIBLE: 12 points
TRADE EXECUTION RULES:
• 10-12 points = MAX SIZE (this is the holy grail setup)
• 8-9 points = FULL SIZE (high probability)
• 6-7 points = HALF SIZE (moderate probability)
• <6 points = NO TRADE (wait for better alignment)
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks
□ Can identify all 5 setups by pattern recognition
□ Understand why targets come from 30min ORB only
□ Know difference between 5min/15min/30min roles
□ Risk management rules memorized (position sizing, 3-strike)
□ YM Ultimate SNIPER v8.1 loaded (optional but recommended)
□ All 5 TradingView alerts configured
□ Broker platform tested with demo account
□ Stop/target orders can be placed in <10 seconds
□ Daily journal template prepared
□ Emotional state: calm, patient, focused

□ Understand auto-disappear behavior (ORBs delete at session end)
□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

**KEY DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER ORB INDICATORS:**
- You see **ALL 3 ORB PERIODS SIMULTANEOUSLY** (5min, 15min, 30min)
- Targets calculated from **30min ORB ONLY** (not 5min or 15min)
- **NO BOX FILLS** - clean line-only display for sniper precision
- Auto-disappears at session end (no clutter from old sessions)

## ⏰ SESSION TIMING MATRIX
| Session | Start Time | 5min Complete | 15min Complete | 30min Complete | Session End |
|---------|-----------|---------------|----------------|----------------|-------------|
| **London** | 3:00 AM ET | 3:05 AM | 3:15 AM | 3:30 AM | 9:30 AM ET (disappears) |
| **New York** | 9:30 AM ET | 9:35 AM | 9:45 AM | 10:00 AM | 5:00 PM ET (disappears) |
**💡 GOLDEN RULES:**
1. **WAIT FOR 30MIN ORB TO COMPLETE** before trading targets (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
2. Use 5min and 15min ORBs as **early warning signals** only
3. All ORB lines + VWAP **auto-delete** at session end (clean chart)

## 🎯 THE 3-ORB SYSTEM: HOW IT WORKS
### **Hierarchical ORB Structure**
```
TIME: 9:30 AM ─────────────────────────────────> 10:00 AM ──────> 5:00 PM
↓ ↓
SESSION START 30min ORB COMPLETE
(all 3 ORBs begin forming) (targets appear)
📍 5min ORB (9:30-9:35 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: EARLY breakout signal, fastest-moving boundary
📍 15min ORB (9:30-9:45 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: MID-TERM institutional reference level
📍 30min ORB (9:30-10:00 AM): ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━>
Purpose: PRIMARY TRADING RANGE - all targets calculated from this
🎯 TARGETS (10:00 AM onward): ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ (1x, 2x, 3x from 30min ORB)
Purpose: Profit-taking levels based on 30min range
```
**Why 3 ORBs Instead of 1?**
- **5min ORB**: Captures early institutional positioning (first 5 minutes)
- **15min ORB**: Confirms directional bias (more stable than 5min)
- **30min ORB**: Full market digestion of overnight news + opening orders
- **Confluence = Higher Win Rate**: When all 3 align, breakouts are extremely reliable

✅ 30min ORB complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
✅ Price breaks ALL 3 ORBs simultaneously:
• 5min high/low (blue line)
• 15min high/low (cyan line)
• 30min high/low (purple line)
✅ VWAP confirms direction (below price = bullish, above = bearish)
✅ Volume spike on breakout candle
ENTRY: Close of breakout candle (must close beyond ALL 3 ORBs)
STOP: Inside 30min ORB at 30m low (long) or 30m high (short)
TARGET 1: First green/red dashed line (0.5x 30m range)
TARGET 2: Second target (1x 30m range)
TARGET 3: Third target (1.5x 30m range)
WIN RATE: 75-85% | R:R = 1:2.5 minimum
NOTES: When all 3 ORBs align, institutional order flow is unanimous
```
---
### **SETUP #2: 5MIN EARLY BREAKOUT → 30MIN CONFIRMATION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB first (blue line crossed)
✅ 15min ORB holds initially (cyan line not crossed yet)
✅ After 30min ORB completes, price breaks 30min boundary (purple)
✅ VWAP alignment confirms direction
✅ All 3 ORBs now broken in same direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks (purple line) + 5min/15min already broken
STOP: 30min ORB opposite boundary
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets from 30min ORB
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:2+
NOTES: 5min gave early warning, 30min confirms institutional commitment
```
---
### **SETUP #3: FALSE 5MIN BREAKOUT → 30MIN REVERSAL** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price breaks 5min ORB (blue line)
✅ Fails to break 15min or 30min ORBs (cyan/purple lines hold)
✅ Price reverses back inside 5min ORB
✅ Then breaks OPPOSITE side of 30min ORB (purple line)
✅ VWAP flips to confirm new direction
ENTRY: When 30min ORB breaks in OPPOSITE direction of failed 5min break
STOP: Failed 5min breakout high/low (now a liquidity grab zone)
TARGET 1-3: Standard targets
WIN RATE: 80-90% | R:R = 1:3+ (trapped traders forced to exit)
NOTES: Most profitable setup - 5min breakout was liquidity hunt
```
---
### **SETUP #4: TIGHT COMPRESSION → EXPLOSION** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ All 3 ORBs tightly overlapping (5m, 15m, 30m within 50 points on YM)
✅ Range < 0.3% of price (very tight consolidation)
✅ VWAP sitting in middle of compression
✅ 30min ORB complete, price still inside all 3
ENTRY: Simultaneous break of ALL 3 ORBs + VWAP cross
STOP: Middle of compression zone
TARGET: 2x-4x normal targets (volatility expansion)
WIN RATE: 65-75% | R:R = 1:5+ (explosive breakout)
NOTES: Low volatility → high volatility shift, institutions coiling spring
```
---
### **SETUP #5: VWAP BOUNCE WITHIN 30MIN ORB** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
```
CONDITIONS:
✅ Price stayed inside 30min ORB for 1+ hours post-formation
✅ VWAP acting as dynamic support (long) or resistance (short)
✅ Price bouncing between VWAP and 30min ORB boundaries
✅ Clear rejection candles at VWAP
ENTRY: When price bounces off VWAP toward 30min ORB boundary
• Long: VWAP bounce up toward 30m high (purple)
• Short: VWAP rejection down toward 30m low (purple)
STOP: Beyond VWAP by 20 points
TARGET: 30min ORB opposite boundary
WIN RATE: 70-80% | R:R = 1:1.5-2
NOTES: Range-bound play, NOT for breakout traders
```

## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing by ORB Range**
```
30min ORB Range | Stop Distance | Risk $500 (1%) | YM Contracts
-----------------|------------------|-----------------|-------------
< 50 points | 50 pts | $500 ÷ $250 = | 2 contracts
50-100 points | 100 pts | $500 ÷ $500 = | 1 contract
100-150 points | 150 pts | $500 ÷ $750 = | 0.66 (use 1)
150-200 points | 200 pts | $500 ÷ $1000 = | 0.5 (use 1)
> 200 points | Don't trade | Too wide | Skip setup
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per YM point) = Max Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule (MANDATORY)**
```
✅ Trade 1: Full position size (based on 30m ORB range)
❌ Stop hit → Trade 2: HALF position size
❌ Stop hit → Trade 3: QUARTER position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE FOR THE DAY (no exceptions)
```
### **Profit Taking Ladder**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x 30m range): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1.0x 30m range): Take 30% off, trail stop by 25 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x 30m range): Take 15% off, let 5% run with 50pt trail
```
---
## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (< 10:00 AM NY / < 3:30 AM London)
🚫 30min ORB range < 40 points YM (too tight, likely chop)
🚫 30min ORB range > 250 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 All 3 ORBs wildly divergent (5m=100pts, 15m=180pts, 30m=240pts)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes (wait for ORB to reform)
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (3-strike rule)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, revenge trading, or distracted
🚫 Time > 12:00 PM ET (lunch, avoid until 1:00 PM)
🚫 Time > 3:00 PM ET unless Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM) momentum
```

## 🧠 READING THE 3-ORB STRUCTURE
### **Bullish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Staircase Expansion"
5min: ━━━━ (tight, 60 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━ (wider, 90 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━ (widest, 120 pts)
→ Bullish expansion, expect upside breakout
PATTERN 2: "Nested Compression"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━ (35 pts)
30min: ━━━━ (40 pts)
→ All tight, explosive breakout likely
PATTERN 3: "Early Commitment"
5min: ━━━━━━ (100 pts, already broken up)
15min: ━━━━━ (80 pts, holding)
30min: ━━━━━ (110 pts, about to break)
→ 5min led the way, 30min confirmation coming
```
### **Bearish Alignment Patterns**
```
PATTERN 1: "Waterfall Setup"
5min: ━━━━ (50 pts, broke down)
15min: ━━━━━ (70 pts, broke down)
30min: ━━━━━━ (90 pts, about to break)
→ Sequential breakdown, strong bearish momentum
PATTERN 2: "Failed Highs"
5min: ━━━━━━ (upper wick rejections)
15min: ━━━━━━ (couldn't break)
30min: ━━━━━━━ (topped out)
→ All 3 rejecting highs, bearish reversal likely
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns (AVOID TRADING)**
```
PATTERN 1: "Wide Divergence"
5min: ━━ (30 pts)
15min: ━━━━━━━ (120 pts)
30min: ━━━━━━━━━━━ (200 pts)
→ No consensus, unpredictable, skip
PATTERN 2: "Whipsaw City"
• Price breaking 5min up, then down, then up again
• 15min and 30min not aligned
• VWAP getting crossed every 5 minutes
→ Chop day, step aside, wait for clarity

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES & FIXES
```
❌ MISTAKE: Trading before 30min ORB completes
✅ FIX: Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London), NO EXCEPTIONS
❌ MISTAKE: Ignoring 5min and 15min ORBs (only watching 30min)
✅ FIX: Use all 3 for confluence - they're your early warning system
❌ MISTAKE: Chasing breakouts 100+ points beyond 30min ORB
✅ FIX: Wait for pullback to VWAP or 30min boundary for re-entry
❌ MISTAKE: Not adjusting target % for market conditions
✅ FIX: Volatile day (ORB >200pts)? Use 75-100% targets
Calm day (ORB <80pts)? Use 30-40% targets
❌ MISTAKE: Trading when all 3 ORBs are wildly different sizes
✅ FIX: Skip the day if 5m/15m/30m diverge by >100pts - no consensus
❌ MISTAKE: Forgetting VWAP position
✅ FIX: VWAP MUST confirm bias:
• Long: price > VWAP
• Short: price < VWAP
• If VWAP contradicts, skip the trade
❌ MISTAKE: Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ FIX: 3 losses = DONE for the session, no rationalization
❌ MISTAKE: Trading during lunch (12:00-1:00 PM ET)
✅ FIX: Volume dies, ORBs lose relevance, false signals increase

## 🚀 YOUR FIRST LIVE TRADE WALKTHROUGH
**Step-by-Step for New York Session (Most Common):**
```
⏰ 9:15 AM ET - PREPARATION
□ Load SNIPER ORB on YM 5-minute chart
□ Select "New York" session in indicator settings
□ Verify VWAP is showing (gold line)
□ Check economic calendar (any big news at 9:30?)
□ Prepare mentally: "I will wait for 30min ORB to complete"
⏰ 9:30 AM ET - SESSION OPENS
□ Watch 3 ORBs begin forming:
• Blue lines (5min) will lock in at 9:35 AM
• Cyan lines (15min) will lock in at 9:45 AM
• Purple lines (30min) will lock in at 10:00 AM
□ Observe VWAP anchoring at 9:30 AM candle
□ DO NOT TRADE YET - just observe
⏰ 9:35 AM - 5MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 5min high/low (blue lines locked)
□ Check info table: "5m Range = XX points"
□ If 5min ORB breaks early, note direction but DON'T ENTER
⏰ 9:45 AM - 15MIN ORB COMPLETE
□ Note 15min high/low (cyan lines locked)
□ Compare to 5min ORB: Aligned? Expanding?
□ Still waiting... patience pays
⏰ 10:00 AM - 30MIN ORB COMPLETE (TARGETS APPEAR!)
□ Purple lines locked (30m high/low)
□ Green/red dashed target lines appear automatically
□ Info table shows "Status: ✓ Complete"
□ NOW you can trade breakouts
⏰ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM - TRADING WINDOW
□ Wait for price to break purple line (30m ORB high or low)
□ Confirm:
1. All 3 ORBs broken in same direction?
2. VWAP confirming (below=bullish, above=bearish)?
3. Volume spike visible?
4. YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal? (if using)
□ If all YES → ENTER TRADE:
• Market order at breakout close
• Stop at 30m ORB opposite boundary
• Targets at green/red dashed lines
⏰ TARGET MANAGEMENT
□ Price hits first target (1x) → Take 50% off, move stop to BE
□ Price hits second target (2x) → Take 30% off, trail stop
□ Price hits third target (3x) → Take 15% off, let 5% run
⏰ 12:00 PM - LUNCH (AVOID TRADING)
□ Volume dies down
□ ORBs become less relevant
□ Take a break, review morning trades
⏰ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - AFTERNOON SESSION
□ ORBs still valid but less reliable
□ Consider waiting for Power Hour (3:00-4:00 PM)
⏰ 5:00 PM - SESSION END
□ All ORB lines disappear automatically
□ VWAP disappears automatically
□ Chart cleans itself - ready for tomorrow
□ Fill out daily journal

## 🏆 WINNING MINDSET AFFIRMATIONS
Read these BEFORE each trading session:
```
"I trade ORBs, not chaos. Structure gives me edge."
"3 high-quality trades beat 20 mediocre ones."
"The 30min ORB is my anchor. I wait for it. Every. Single. Time."
"When all 3 ORBs align, institutions are unified. I follow."
"VWAP is my institutional compass. I respect its guidance."
"3 strikes and I'm out. Discipline > Ego."
"I am a SNIPER, not a machine gunner. Precision wins."
"My edge is patience. Let the ORBs complete."
"I don't predict. I react to proven structure."
"One perfect setup is worth waiting all morning."
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**"ORB lines not showing on chart!"**
→ Check timeframe: Must be 1min-30min (not daily/weekly)
→ Verify session time: Must be during London (3AM-9:30AM) or NY (9:30AM-5PM)
→ Check indicator status: Should say "⏳ Forming" or "✓ Complete" in table
**"Targets not appearing!"**
→ 30min ORB must be complete (10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
→ Check "Number of Targets" setting (must be ≥1)
→ Verify "Target % of 30min Range" is set (default 50%)
**"VWAP disappeared!"**
→ Normal behavior: VWAP auto-deletes at session end (5PM NY / 9:30AM London)
→ Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" OFF then ON to reset
→ Check if you're viewing chart outside session hours
**"All 3 ORBs look the same!"**
→ This is actually GOOD - means tight alignment (high-probability setup)
→ If they're diverging wildly (>100pts difference), that's a skip signal
**"Info table blocking my view!"**
→ Info table is in top-right corner by default
→ Drag it to a different position (TradingView allows moving)
→ Or minimize it by clicking the small arrow
**"Colors are hard to see on my chart!"**
→ Go to indicator settings:
• "5min ORB", "15min ORB", "30min ORB" color pickers
• "Upside Targets", "Downside Targets" color pickers
• Recommended: Use contrasting colors vs your chart background
---
## 📚 ADVANCED INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
### **Combining with Market Profile**
```
• Use Volume Profile to identify Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL)
• If 30min ORB aligns with VAH/VAL → extra confluence
• POC (Point of Control) acts similar to VWAP
```
### **Combining with Cumulative Delta**
```
• Check if delta is positive on 30min ORB high break (bullish confirmation)
• Negative delta on low break confirms bearish institutional flow
• Your YM SNIPER already tracks this - use together!
```
### **Combining with Options Flow**
```
• Large call buying near 30min ORB high? Institutions positioning for breakout
• Large put buying near 30min ORB low? Smart money hedging/shorting
• Tools: Unusual Whales, Cheddar Flow, OptionStrat
```
---
## 🎯 FINAL PRE-LIVE CHECKLIST
**DO NOT GO LIVE UNTIL ALL CHECKED:**
```
□ Practiced on TradingView Replay for 2+ weeks

□ Know NOT to trade before 30min ORB complete
□ Comfortable with looking at chart and seeing 6+ lines (3 ORBs + targets)
IF ALL CHECKED → YOU'RE READY TO SNIPE! 🎯
IF ANY UNCHECKED → KEEP PRACTICING, DON'T RUSH

## 🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
### **Position Sizing Matrix**
```
Account Size: $50,000 example
Risk Per Trade: 1-2% max
ORB Range | Stop Distance | Position Size (1% risk) | YM Contracts
-------------|---------------|-------------------------|-------------
50 points | 50 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
100 points | 100 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
150 points | 150 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
200 points | 200 points | $500 risk | 1 contract
Formula: Risk $ ÷ (Stop Distance × $5 per point) = Contracts
```
### **The 3-Strike Rule**
```
✅ Strike 1: Full position size
❌ Stop hit → Strike 2: Half position size
❌ Stop hit → Strike 3: 1/4 position size
❌ Stop hit → DONE for the session
```
### **Profit Taking Strategy**
```
TARGET 1 (0.5x): Take 50% off, move stop to breakeven
TARGET 2 (1x): Take 30% off, trail stop 20 points
TARGET 3 (1.5x): Take 15% off, let 5% run to 2x-3x
```

## ⚠️ DO NOT TRADE IF...
```
🚫 30min ORB incomplete (wait until 10:00 AM NY / 3:30 AM London)
🚫 ORB range < 30 points YM (too tight, likely fake breakout)
🚫 ORB range > 300 points YM (too wide, unpredictable)
🚫 Major news release within 30 minutes
🚫 You've hit 3 losses in the session (walk away)
🚫 Price whipsawing violently (wait for structure)
🚫 You're tired, emotional, or distracted

## 🧠 PATTERN RECOGNITION QUICK GUIDE
### **Bullish ORB Patterns**
```
1. "Staircase" → Price respects each target as new support
2. "Rocket Launch" → Clean break through all targets no pullback
3. "VWAP Bounce" → Pullback to VWAP, then continuation higher
4. "Triple Compression" → All ORBs converge then explosive breakout
```
### **Bearish ORB Patterns**
```
1. "Waterfall" → Price cascades through all downside targets
2. "Failed High" → Breaks top, immediately reverses to bottom
3. "VWAP Rejection" → Hits VWAP from above, hard rejection down
4. "Slow Bleed" → Gradual drift lower, respecting each target
```
### **Neutral/Chop Patterns**
```
1. "Ping Pong" → Price bouncing between ORB high/low repeatedly
2. "Flat VWAP" → VWAP horizontal, price hugging it (no trade)
3. "Wide Range" → ORB > 300 points, too much uncertainty
4. "Gap Confusion" → Opens far outside all ORBs, wait for reset
```

## 📊 CONFLUENCE SCORING SYSTEM
**Rate Each Trade 1-10 Before Entry:**
```
Breakout confirmed (30min ORB): +2 points
VWAP alignment: +2 points
Volume spike on breakout: +1 point
All 3 ORBs align: +1 point
Clean candle close beyond ORB: +1 point
Your YM SNIPER GOD MODE signal: +2 points
Time: 10:00-11:30 AM ET window: +1 point
SCORING:
9-10 points = SNIPER SETUP (maximum size)
7-8 points = GOOD TRADE (standard size)
5-6 points = MARGINAL (half size or skip)
< 5 points = NO TRADE (wait for better)
```

## 🎯 INTEGRATION WITH YM ULTIMATE SNIPER v8.1
**The Perfect Confluence:**
```
STEP 1: SNIPER ORB identifies the STRUCTURE
→ 30min ORB defines "Zones That Matter"
→ VWAP shows institutional bias
→ Targets define profit zones
STEP 2: YM ULTIMATE SNIPER triggers the ENTRY
→ Wait for GOD MODE signal at ORB boundary
→ 6-gate system confirms institutional pressure
→ Score ≥9.0, fat body ≥70%, delta dominance ≥70%
STEP 3: Execute with PRECISION
→ ORB break + GOD MODE = highest probability
→ Enter only when BOTH systems align
→ This is TRUE "sniper" trading
```

## 💡 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
```
❌ Entering BEFORE 30min ORB completes
✅ Wait until 10:00 AM (NY) or 3:30 AM (London)
❌ Ignoring VWAP position
✅ Always check: is VWAP confirming your directional bias?
❌ Chasing breakouts after 50+ point move
✅ Wait for pullback to VWAP or first target
❌ Trading during lunch (12-1 PM ET)
✅ Volume dies, false signals increase
❌ Using same target % in all conditions
✅ Adjust: 30-40% in chop, 50-75% in trends
❌ Forgetting to move stop to breakeven at Target 1
✅ NEVER give back a winning trade
❌ Overtrading on slow days
✅ Some days only have 1-2 clean setups, that's okay!
❌ Not respecting the 3-strike rule
✅ 3 losses = done, come back tomorrow

## 🏆 WINNING TRADER MINDSET
```
"I don't need to trade every ORB breakout.
I only need the HIGH-PROBABILITY setups.
3-5 trades per day is enough.
90%+ win rate on those 3-5 trades = success.
Patience + Precision = Profitability"
```
---
## 📞 TROUBLESHOOTING
**Indicator Not Showing?**
- Check max_boxes/max_lines limits in code
- Verify you're on 1min-30min timeframe
- Ensure TradingView session is 9:30-17:00 ET
**ORBs Look Wrong?**
- Verify timezone: should be "America/New_York"
- Check if market has DST adjustment today
- Confirm broker chart time matches indicator
**VWAP Disappeared?**
- Toggle "Show Anchored VWAP" in settings
- Check if session ended (auto-disappears at 5 PM)
- Verify you're not in pre-market hours
**Targets Too Close/Far?**
- Adjust "Target % Increment" setting
- 30% = tighter, 75% = wider
- Default 50% works for most conditions

Premarket&Regular Session VolumeThis script provides a clean and practical overview of premarket cumulative volume compared with regular session volume, helping traders instantly identify unusual early-session liquidity.
Features
Tracks total premarket volume from 4:00–9:30 ET
Shows cumulative premarket buildup as a smooth line
Helps detect early liquidity spikes that often lead to halts, gap-ups or momentum runs
Designed for intraday scalpers and small-cap/momentum traders
Why It’s Useful
Premarket activity frequently reveals hidden demand long before the opening bell.
When premarket volume significantly exceeds average daily levels, the probability of early spikes, volatility events, or continuation moves increases.
This indicator offers a simple but powerful visual tool for evaluating market interest before the open and comparing it with regular session volume
