8AM ORB Master Strategy8AM ORB Master Strategy
This indicator automates the full 8AM Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy, built around a midpoint bounce and reversal setup. The opening range is defined by the 8:00–8:15 AM Eastern session, and the indicator handles everything from range detection to trade management levels — all plotted automatically on your chart.
How it works:
The indicator builds the ORB High, Low, and Midpoint from the first three 5-minute candles of the session. It then monitors for price to interact with the midpoint level and confirm a reversal in either direction. When a valid setup forms, it fires a Long or Short signal and marks all relevant levels instantly.
What gets plotted automatically:
ORB build box (8:00–8:15 window)
ORB High, Low, and Midpoint lines with price labels
Entry arrow with entry price
Stop loss line (ORB Low for longs / ORB High for shorts)
TP1, TP2, and TP3 at 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 risk/reward
Live entry checklist panel (top-right corner)
Checklist panel includes:
ORB built confirmation, news filter status, midpoint bounce detection, reversal candle confirmation, direction clarity, and a manual reminder to confirm on the 1-minute and 3-minute charts.

ALN Sessions NQ 8am Prediction Model v3ALN Sessions — NQ Structural Framework
A structural analysis tool for NQ E-Mini Futures based on the Asia / London / New York overnight session relationships documented at nqstats.com.
All probability data is sourced directly from the 10-year study published at nqstats.com (2016–2026, n = 2,542 sessions). Full methodology and pattern breakdown available at: nqstats.com
What it does
At the 08:00 ET bar close (London session end), the indicator classifies the overnight structure into one of four patterns based on how the London range relates to the Asia range:
P1 - London Engulfs Asia (22% of sessions) — London expands beyond Asia on both sides. Symmetric two-way volatility into NY. No directional edge.
P2 - Asia Engulfs London (6.9%) — London compresses inside Asia. Strongest setup — NY broke at least one level in every session over 10 years.
P3 - Partial Engulf Up (41%) — London broke the Asia high but held the Asia low. Bullish overnight lean. High breaks in 80.8% of NY sessions.
P4 - Partial Engulf Down (30.2%) — London broke the Asia low but held the Asia high. Bearish overnight lean. Low breaks in 75% of NY sessions.
Features
Session boxes for Asia, London, and optional NY
London and Asia high/low levels extended into the NY session
Break probability labels on London Hi/Lo at the NY open
Previous day high/low lines with % distance
Live break detection labels when London levels are crossed
Conditional first-break edge display for P3 and P4 (the key edge degrades ~30pp if the wrong side breaks first)

Smooths Key Levels / Sessions / EMA / SMA / VWAP -Smooths Key Levels-
Overview
This indicator unifies seven market structure tools into one clean overlay, all sharing a single timezone setting and a configurable daily reset time. Every element is designed to work together — session ranges establish the intraday structure, key levels provide higher timeframe context, and the EMA cloud filters trend direction.
Components and How They Work
-EMA Cloud (9/21)** — Two exponential moving averages calculated using the standard EMA formula. The space between them is filled to create a cloud that visually represents momentum. When price is above the cloud the bias is bullish, below is bearish, and inside signals consolidation.
-Asia Session (default 8PM–3AM)** — Tracks the highest high and lowest low of the Asia trading session using local time. The range is shaded and the high/low lines extend until the daily reset, giving NY session traders a clear reference for potential breakout levels.
-London Session (default 3AM–8:30AM)** — Same methodology as Asia. London often expands beyond the Asia range — these levels frequently act as support and resistance during the NY open.
-8AM 15-Minute Range** — Highlights the high and low of the 8AM candle, a widely watched pre-market reference range used by futures traders to identify early session bias.
-Midnight Open** — Marks the opening price of the midnight candle. Used as an intraday fair value reference and mean reversion level.
-Key Levels** — Automatically plots Previous Day, Previous Week, Previous Month highs and lows, and the Current Year high and low. These are drawn from the actual wick of the extreme bar and extend to the right as dashed reference lines.
Why Combined
All seven tools reference the same timezone and reset at the same configurable time (default 6PM). Separating them into individual scripts would require duplicating timezone inputs and cause layering and z-order conflicts between their drawing objects. Combined, they form a coherent market structure framework where each layer provides context for the next.
How To Use
1. Set your timezone offset in settings to match your broker feed
2. Adjust session start/end times if needed for your market
3. Use Asia and London highs/lows as key reference levels during NY session
4. Watch the 8AM range for early directional bias
5. Key levels highlight confluence zones — when PDH aligns with PWH for example, that level carries more weight
