Previous Day Key Levels# Previous Day Key Levels
Previous Day Key Levels automatically plots the key reference points I use to frame each trading day:
* Previous RTH High and Low
* Asia High and Low
* London High and Low
The indicator is designed to work on an RTH chart while still calculating the Asia and London ranges from extended-hours data. Each level is drawn as a clean horizontal reference with a named label and a matching price marker on the right axis.
## How to use it
These levels help organize the market into clear areas of potential reaction, acceptance, rejection, breakout, or failed breakout.
Previous Day High and Low are especially useful as major reference points for the current RTH session. Price holding above or below them can support a directional thesis, while tests and rejections can highlight potential reversals or rotational conditions.
Asia and London Highs/Lows provide additional intraday structure before and during New York trading. They can act as liquidity targets, breakout points, or areas where an early New York move may stall, reverse, or accelerate.
The Asia range updates when the Asia session ends, and the London range updates when London ends. Previous Day High/Low refresh for the next RTH session.
## Pairing with Volume Profile
This indicator is intended as a supporting structure tool—not a standalone entry signal.
For a fuller market read, pair it with a Volume Profile indicator that provides:
* POC: the session’s highest-volume price area
* VAH: Value Area High
* VAL: Value Area Low
When a key session level overlaps with POC, VAH, or VAL, that confluence can make the area more meaningful. For example:
* A Previous Day High near VAH may act as a more significant resistance or breakout-acceptance area.
* A Previous Day Low near VAL may become a higher-quality support or breakdown-rejection zone.
* An Asia or London extreme aligning with POC can highlight a potential magnet, decision point, or support/resistance area.
Use the levels alongside price action, market context, and volume behavior. They are reference points—not guarantees—and are most useful for forming a structured trade idea and defining risk around meaningful market locations.
Indicator
Previous Day High / LowIt marks three price levels from yesterday's session and holds them on the chart as horizontal reference lines.
**What it plots**
PDH and PDL are the previous day's high and low, drawn as solid light-blue lines at width 3. PDM sits halfway between them, dotted and light yellow. All three extend infinitely in both directions, so they're visible no matter where you scroll.
**How the values are pulled**
A single `request.security` call fetches `high ` and `low ` off the daily series. Because it references the bar *before* the current daily bar, the values are locked in from a session that has already closed. `lookahead_on` is safe in that context and nothing repaints intraday. Mid is just the average of the two.
There's an RTH toggle. Left off, you get the full Globex range on futures. Switched on, `ticker.modify` swaps to the regular session so the levels come from 8:30–3:00 CT only.
**How it draws**
Rather than creating new line objects each session, it makes six objects once (three lines, three labels) and repositions them on the last bar. That's why it runs on any timeframe and why the lines are continuous instead of segmented per day. Labels sit three bars right of the last candle showing the level name and price.
**Alerts**
Two conditions fire on a close crossing PDH or PDL, in either direction.
**Practical use for MNQ**
These are the levels a lot of order flow references at the open. Yesterday's high and low act as the obvious liquidity pools, and the midpoint often works as a mean-reversion magnet when the session opens inside the prior range. Given your 9/21 EMA stack, the useful reads are when a level lines up with the fast EMAs, and when price opens outside the prior range entirely, since that changes whether PDH/PDL are targets or support.

Draw On Liquidity Planner [AGPro Series]Draw On Liquidity Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Of all the liquidity resting around price, which single pool is the dominant draw right now, how strong is that draw, and what level would put it in question?
📌 Overview / What It Does
Draw On Liquidity Planner is a chart-first liquidity decision tool. Instead of drawing every high and low on the screen, it studies the untapped liquidity pools sitting on both sides of price and decides which one is acting as the dominant "draw on liquidity," then frames a complete read around it.
It maps buy-side liquidity above price and sell-side liquidity below price from three sources: clusters of equal highs and equal lows, the prior higher-timeframe high and low, and unmitigated swing points. It tracks which pools are still untapped and which have already been swept. It then scores each side from 0 to 100 and selects the single dominant draw, presenting a clear state, the target pool price, the draw distance in ATR, the pool type, a structural invalidation reference, and a plain next-action read in a clean panel.
The script does not predict price, generate buy or sell signals, or automate trades. It organizes scattered liquidity into one structured draw decision so the chart can be read with intent instead of guesswork.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This planner was built to close a specific gap. Many liquidity tools fall into one of two traps: they map every level at once until the chart is unreadable, or they only flag a sweep after it has already happened. Neither answers the first question a liquidity-focused trader actually asks: of everything resting around price, which side is the real magnet, and how convinced should I be?
Draw On Liquidity Planner is designed for patient, context-driven traders who think in terms of where liquidity rests and where price is being pulled. It supports a planning mindset rather than a reflex: identify the dominant draw, note the target and the invalidation, gauge conviction from the score, and then wait for the market to confirm or reject that context. It is a decision-support layer, not a trigger.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most liquidity tools either print a dense map of every swing high and low, or they detect a sweep only once it is complete and leave the interpretation to you.
This script does NOT flood the chart with every level, and it does NOT claim to know the next move.
Instead, it ranks both sides of liquidity into a single dominant draw with a transparent 0-100 score, shows one clean target, one structural invalidation, and a light reference map of the remaining pools, and keeps the detailed read in a premium panel so the price area stays clear. The decision layer — which side, how strong, what would invalidate it — is the product. The raw levels are just the inputs.
⚙️ Methodology
The internal logic runs in clear, rule-based steps:
1. Pool Detection
Swing highs and swing lows are detected with an adjustable swing strength and stored as candidate liquidity pools. The prior higher-timeframe high and low can be included as significant pools, and the period adapts to the chart: prior day on intraday charts, prior week on daily charts, and prior month on higher timeframes.
2. Mitigation Tracking
A buy-side pool is marked as taken once price trades through it, and a sell-side pool once price trades under it. Only untapped liquidity is treated as an active draw, so the read reflects what is still resting rather than what has already been consumed.
3. Cluster Evaluation
Nearby untapped levels are grouped using an ATR-based tolerance to recognize equal highs and equal lows. More touches at a level mean stronger resting liquidity, which contributes a higher draw quality.
4. Draw Scoring
Each side receives a 0-100 score built from four components: pool quality (cluster strength and prior-period status), proximity in ATR, directional context from a trend backbone, and pool freshness. The weighting favors quality and proximity while still respecting trend alignment and how recently the pool formed.
5. Dominant Draw Selection
The higher-scoring side becomes the active draw. When the two sides are close, the context is treated as balanced two-sided liquidity rather than forcing a single direction.
6. Visual Output
The active draw is drawn as a thin highlighted zone with a centered badge, a target line, a structural invalidation line, a light reference map of the remaining pools, a single right-edge target tag, and a complete summary panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
- Draw Zone: the thin highlighted band around the dominant liquidity target, with a centered badge showing the state and the 0-100 score.
- Target Line: the solid line at the active draw pool price.
- Invalidation Line: the dashed line at the opposite-side structural reference (the nearest swing on the other side); losing that level weakens the current draw lean.
- Faint Pool Lines: dotted reference lines marking the other untapped pools on each side, as a light liquidity map.
- Target Tag: a single right-edge tag with the active draw target price.
- Event Labels: compact markers that print when the dominant draw flips side or when a liquidity pool is swept. They alternate by side and stay clear of the candles.
- Panel: state, draw score, target, distance, pool type, invalidation, and action.
Colors follow the AG Pro palette: teal for buy-side draws, pink for sell-side draws, and amber for balanced or lower-conviction context.
🚦 Signals & States
• Buy-Side Draw → untapped liquidity above is the dominant magnet
• Sell-Side Draw → untapped liquidity below is the dominant magnet
• Two-Sided → both sides are roughly balanced, with no single dominant draw
• No Draw → no qualifying untapped pool is currently in range
States describe liquidity context only. They are not trade instructions and carry no guarantee of direction.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts are available for:
- Buy-Side Draw: the dominant draw establishes on the buy side with a qualifying score
- Sell-Side Draw: the dominant draw establishes on the sell side with a qualifying score
- Liquidity Pool Swept: a tracked pool is traded through
Alerts are attention markers that flag a change in liquidity context. They are not signals to enter or exit a position, and each alert should be interpreted within the broader market picture.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The draw score is itself a confluence measure. A high score means pool quality, proximity, directional context, and freshness are aligning on the same side. When the active draw also agrees with your higher-timeframe bias and the prevailing structure, the context is stronger. When they disagree, the read deserves more caution, and the score will usually reflect that with a lower value.
📊 When to Use
• Trending markets, where price tends to reach for liquidity in the direction of the trend
• Range edges, where equal highs or equal lows build obvious resting liquidity
• Charts with a clear prior-period high or low acting as a reference draw
• Planning phases, when defining a target and an invalidation before committing to a view
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Very low-liquidity symbols or thin sessions, where swing structure is unreliable
• Extreme volatility events, where levels are torn through without reaction
• Very low timeframes dominated by noise, where pools form and break too quickly
• As a standalone entry trigger, with no regard for broader context
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Swing Strength → how strong a swing must be to become a pool
• Pool Memory → how many recent pools are retained
• Equal Level Tolerance → how loosely nearby levels merge into a cluster
• Use Prior-Period Pools → include the prior higher-timeframe high and low (day, week, or month by chart)
• Trend Backbone EMA and Slope → the directional context used in scoring
• Max Draw Distance → distance beyond which a pool is treated as too far to be an active draw
• Active Draw Score → minimum score for an emphasized, alert-eligible draw
• Two-Sided Balance Gap → score gap below which liquidity is treated as balanced
• Visual and panel settings → control zones, lines, labels, density, location, theme, and font size
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is intentionally restrained. One dominant draw zone, one target line, one structural invalidation reference, a light pool map, and a single target tag keep the chart readable. Event labels alternate by side and point at the candle that produced them, so the chart reads as a clean sequence rather than a cluster. The panel carries the detailed read, and its first row is a single merged brand header. Panel location, theme, and font size are all adjustable, and the panel is shown by default for clarity.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel: note the state and the draw score.
2. Locate the target: confirm the highlighted draw zone and the target line.
3. Check the invalidation: note the opposite-side structural reference.
4. Confirm context: compare with your higher-timeframe bias and structure before acting on any view.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
Treat the draw score as a measure of how clearly liquidity leans to one side, not as a probability of profit. A strong, aligned draw is context to plan around. A balanced or weak read is a reason to wait rather than to force a trade. Every output is meant to be interpreted inside the broader market picture, never in isolation.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
- It is NOT a prediction engine.
- It is NOT financial advice.
- It is NOT an automated trading system.
- It does NOT generate guaranteed signals or outcomes.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
Liquidity context behaves differently across timeframes, symbols, and volatility regimes. Pools can be ignored, swept and reversed, or run through without reaction. Swing detection depends on the chosen settings, and prior-period references behave differently across symbols and session types. This tool organizes context and frames a decision; it does not guarantee how price will respond to any level.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Liquidity tends to rest where many participants place stops: above equal highs, below equal lows, and around prior-period extremes. Price often gravitates toward these areas, but the timing and the reaction are never certain. The structure and volatility around a pool shape how meaningful any reaction near it is likely to be, which is why the score blends proximity and trend context rather than distance alone.
🧾 Use Case Examples
• In an uptrend, the planner highlights a buy-side draw at a cluster of equal highs above price, with a recent swing low as the structural invalidation below and a score that reflects how aligned and how close that draw is.
• In a range, the planner shows two-sided liquidity, signaling that no single side is dominant and that patience is warranted until one side resolves.
• After a deep move, the prior-period high or low can become the dominant draw, giving a clear reference target while the invalidation marks where that lean would weaken.
🧱 System Philosophy
The AG Pro approach favors decision-support tools over raw indicators. Each script is built to answer a specific question, present a clean read, and respect the chart. Draw On Liquidity Planner reflects that philosophy by turning scattered liquidity into one structured draw decision with a transparent score and a defined invalidation.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
This tool offers no guarantees and no certainty about future price movement. It is a structured way to read liquidity context and frame a plan, nothing more.

📚 Educational Note
Use this planner to study how price interacts with resting liquidity over time. Watching which draws are respected, swept, or ignored on your own market and timeframe is a practical way to build liquidity-reading skill and a more structured trading process. Indicator
Session Volume Pulse [TSL]Session Volume Pulse shows whether the current bar's volume is unusual for this exact time of day — not just compared to the last 20 bars, but compared to the same minute across the last 14 trading sessions (configurable 5–60).
Most volume indicators give you raw volume and a moving average. The problem: the 9:30 AM open is always busy, and noon is always quiet. A 3x spike at 9:30 means nothing — that's just what 9:30 looks like. A 3x spike at noon is genuinely unusual. This indicator makes that distinction obvious.
═══ WHAT YOU SEE ═══
Two visual signals on the volume pane:
1. A subtle blue baseline line showing the typical volume for this exact minute of the trading day, averaged across the past 14 sessions. The line curves upward at the open, dips through lunch, rises into the close — because that's what the average session looks like.
2. A multiplier label drawn only on bars where volume is ≥ 2.5x the recent 12-bar average (e.g., "2.7"). Most bars don't get a label. The ones that do are the bars worth attention. Position and orientation are both configurable — see the settings reference below.
That's it. No divergence tints. No z-score overlay. No nine-row corner table. Two signals, both readable at a glance.
═══ HOW TO READ IT ═══
- Bar above baseline + no spike label = elevated participation, soft confirmation
- Bar at or below baseline + no spike label = normal session activity, ignore
- Spike label appears = conviction event worth attention
The combination matters most: a spike at the cash open is less meaningful than a spike at noon, because the baseline tells you what's typical for each minute.
═══ CRITICAL SETTING: BARS PER SESSION ═══
This is the only setting most users need to configure for non-default markets. The default of 0 auto-detects assuming 24h trading, which is correct for crypto/forex and close enough for ~23h futures (NQ, ES, MNQ, MES at 15m).
For US stocks during regular trading hours (6.5h), override to:
- 1m chart: 390
- 5m chart: 78
- 15m chart: 26
- 30m chart: 13
For futures across other timeframes:
- 1m: 1380
- 5m: 276
- 15m: 92 (or leave at 0)
- 30m: 46
- 1h: 23
On 4h and higher timeframes, disable "Show time-of-day baseline" — there aren't enough bars per session for the baseline math to be meaningful. The spike detection still works fine.
═══ TUNING THE LOOKBACK ═══
The "Baseline sessions to average" setting controls how many past sessions feed the time-of-day average. The default is 14, but the right choice depends on your style:
- 5–10 sessions: very responsive, adapts fast after regime shifts (vol expansion, holiday weeks). More spike-alert noise.
- 14 sessions: DEFAULT. Two trading weeks of context. Balances responsiveness with stability. Best for active intraday on 15m futures.
- 21 sessions: one calendar month. More stable baseline, fewer false-spike alerts. Slower to adapt to new regimes.
- 30–60 sessions: swing/positioning context. Very stable, very slow to update. Single high-impact event days (FOMC, CPI) linger in the average for weeks.
Rule of thumb: too many marginal spike alerts? Increase the lookback. Baseline feels stale after a vol regime change? Decrease it.
═══ ALERTS ═══
Two alert conditions, both useful:
1. "Volume spike" — fires when volume hits the spike threshold. Use for multi-symbol monitoring.
2. "Crossed session baseline" — fires when volume transitions from below to above the typical level (or vice versa). Quieter signal indicating regime change.
═══ HONEST LIMITATIONS ═══
- Does not predict direction. A spike with a green close is bullish confirmation; a spike with a red close is often capitulation or distribution. The indicator surfaces the conviction event; reading direction is on you.
- Does not work on symbols without volume. Most spot forex pairs on retail platforms report tick count, not volume. Use the equivalent futures contract (6E, 6J, 6B) for real volume analysis on forex.
- Needs history. On a fresh symbol with fewer sessions of historical bars than your lookback setting, the baseline averages whatever's available and may be choppy for the first few sessions.
- Not session-aware for time changes. DST transitions or holiday-shortened sessions in the lookback window will offset the baseline by a bar or two until they roll out of the average.
═══ WHY OPEN SOURCE ═══
Closed-source indicators in finance are a known yellow flag — they often do less than claimed or rely on lookahead bias to look better in backtests. Every line of this script is readable. Audit the math, fork it, modify it for your strategy. The math is straightforward by design.
═══ SETTINGS REFERENCE ═══
Acceleration lookback (bars): 12 default. How many recent bars feed spike detection. Use 20 for daily charts.
Spike threshold (× average): 2.5 default. How far above average a bar must be to get a label. Lower = more labels.
Baseline sessions to average: 14 default (range 5–60). See "Tuning the Lookback" above.
Bars per session: 0 (auto). See table above.
Spike label position: Four options.
- On bar (top) — text floats just inside the top of the orange bar
- On bar (middle) — text centered inside the bar
- On bar (bottom) — text sits at the base of the bar (DEFAULT)
- Below bar (pill) — legacy orange pill anchored below the bar
Spike label orientation: Two options.
- Vertical (stacked) — each character on its own line. Best for narrow bars on lower timeframes. DEFAULT.
- Horizontal — standard single-line text. Best for wider bars on higher timeframes or when bar width comfortably fits the ratio.
Position and orientation are independent — any of the four positions can use either orientation, giving you eight visual combinations.
Colors: Six configurable colors for bars, baseline, and labels.

Session Reaction Map [AGPro Series]Session Reaction Map
🔷 OVERVIEW
Session Reaction Map is a premium intraday study that maps how price reacts to the most important daily and weekly reference levels right at the opens of the Asia, London and New York sessions. Each session open is evaluated inside a fixed measurement window, and the resulting reaction is broken down into four dimensions: dominant move, close follow-through, wick rejection and counter-move penalty. The output is a single 0-100 reaction score that is then translated into tier-coded labels, premium reaction zones, an active reference band and a compact status panel, so you can instantly read what happened at each session open without scrolling through candles.
The indicator is designed for discretionary traders, systematic traders, SMC and price action practitioners who want a clean, consistent and quantitative way to read session open behaviour around PDH, PDL, PDM, Daily Open and Weekly Open. Reactions are drawn as directional zones (bull zones above the reference and bear zones below), with up or down pointing labels centered on the reaction, so orientation is always unambiguous.
🧭 UNIQUE EDGE
Most session open tools only mark time windows or highlight levels. Session Reaction Map goes further and quantifies the quality of the reaction itself. Four independent dimensions are measured against a fixed ATR-normalized baseline, and the final score determines not only whether a label is shown but also how prominent it is. Elite scores (80+) get the strongest visuals; strong scores (70-79) get a slightly softer treatment; watch scores (55-69) are coded as caution; anything below 55 is filtered out by default.
This separation between detection (a session open near a reference) and evaluation (the reaction quality score) is the core edge. It lets you focus only on the best intraday reactions and discard noise automatically, while still being able to audit every component by adjusting the ATR length, touch tolerance, evaluation window and score thresholds.
⚙️ METHODOLOGY
Session detection uses the chosen timezone and three session windows (Asia, London, New York), each with its own editable open range. When a session open occurs, the script checks whether the open price is within an ATR based touch tolerance of any enabled reference level (Previous Day High, Previous Day Low, Previous Day Mid, Daily Open or Weekly Open). If so, a reaction window is engaged on that bar and tracked for a configurable number of bars.
During the reaction window, the live zone, reference band and dashed reference line are updated in real time. When the window completes, the final score is computed as:
• Dominant move score (up to 45 points) - scaled against 1.20 x ATR
• Close follow-through score (up to 30 points) - scaled against 0.90 x ATR
• Wick rejection score (up to 15 points) - scaled against 0.50 x ATR
• Counter-move penalty (up to -20 points) - scaled against 1.00 x ATR
The sum is clamped into the 0-100 range and mapped into four tiers: Elite, Strong, Watch and Weak. The dominant direction of the reaction (up or down) is determined by comparing the upside excursion from the reference to the downside excursion from the reference during the window.
🎯 SIGNALS AND VISUALS
• Reaction zones - rectangular areas connecting the reference level with the reaction extreme, tier-coded by score and bias
• Active reference band - a thin accent band around the current reference level during a live reaction window
• Dashed reference line - marks the exact reference price while the reaction is being measured
• Tier-coded labels - up-pointing labels below bullish reactions and down-pointing labels above bearish reactions, centered on the reaction window
• Session dots - small colored markers that optionally display only on valid events, keeping the chart clean
• Active measurement highlight - an ultra-soft background shade on bars inside a live reaction window
Labels use a ring buffer overlap check, so dense multi-session conditions do not pile labels on top of each other. When two labels would visually conflict, the higher-scored reaction wins.
🛠️ KEY INPUTS
Sessions - enable/disable and edit Asia, London and New York session windows, each with its own color and timezone.
Reference Levels - individually toggle PDH, PDL, PDM, Daily Open and Weekly Open.
Reaction Logic - ATR length, touch tolerance in ATR, evaluation bars, label score filter, minimum label score, overlap reduction (bars and vertical ATR gap).
Visuals - show/hide reference levels, session dots, dots only on valid events, reaction zones, minimum score for zones, zone transparency and extension, live reaction zone, active reference band with its ATR size and transparency, active measurement highlight, level width, label size, label offset in ATR and label background transparency.
Panel - show/hide, position (six anchor points), Dark or Light theme, font size, optional guide row.
All numerical inputs carry professional English tooltips explaining their role, so the script can be tuned for any symbol, timeframe and trading style.
📘 HOW TO USE
1. Apply the script on an intraday timeframe. It is designed for intraday use and will stay passive on daily/higher timeframes.
2. Recommended starting timeframe is 4H for swing intraday context, and 1H for tactical intraday work. Lower timeframes (15m, 30m) work too but may produce dense output.
3. Start with the default settings. Observe which sessions and which reference levels generate the most Elite and Strong reactions on your symbol.
4. Use the panel to monitor the current state: last session, last reference, bias, score, tier, label filter, zone filter and the active reaction status.
5. Treat Elite (80+) and Strong (70-79) reactions as the main signals. Watch tier is informative and Weak tier is generally discarded.
6. Align with your own confluence: higher timeframe bias, structure, orderflow, or whatever your primary framework is. The script does not issue buy or sell calls - it scores reactions, and you decide.
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
• This is not a strategy and does not place orders. No backtest statistics are implied.
• Reaction scores are computed after the evaluation window completes, so they are not repainting but are confirmed with a lag equal to the evaluation window size.
• The live reaction zone updates during the window and is finalized when the window closes.
• Session behavior varies significantly by symbol (crypto vs FX vs equities) and by volatility regime. Inputs should be tuned per symbol.
• Daily and Weekly references use standard request.security with barmerge.lookahead_off to avoid look-ahead bias.
• The script is not a forecasting tool. It is a post-event quantification of how price has just reacted to a known reference level.

AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim [AGPro Series]AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim is an overlay built to map one very specific price behavior around the previous day’s range: a sweep of the Previous Day High (PDH) or Previous Day Low (PDL), followed by a reclaim back inside the level.
The script is designed for traders who want a structured way to observe failed expansion attempts around prior-day liquidity. Instead of treating every break of PDH or PDL as continuation, this tool focuses on the opposite question: when price briefly trades beyond a prior-day extreme and then reclaims that level, is the move showing signs of rejection strong enough to deserve attention?
The core idea is intentionally narrow. This is not a broad market-structure engine, not a support/resistance dashboard, and not a general breakout system. Its purpose is to isolate a specific sequence: sweep -> reclaim -> quality assessment. That single workflow helps keep the script readable and functionally distinct.
Signals can be confirmed on the same bar or on the next bar, depending on user preference. Once a reclaim is confirmed, the script assigns a quality score, draws a directional arrow, prints a reclaim label, and keeps the visual structure compact enough for practical chart work across intraday and higher timeframes.
Unique Edge
The distinguishing feature of this script is that it does not simply plot PDH and PDL, and it does not label every break as meaningful. It attempts to separate ordinary range interaction from failed liquidity grabs by requiring reclaim confirmation and then grading the event.
Its logic is centered on reversal-quality mapping rather than static level display. That means the script does more than show where the previous day’s extremes are located. It evaluates whether the move through those extremes was shallow or excessive, whether the reclaim was weak or decisive, whether wick behavior supports rejection, whether volume was comparatively active, and whether the event occurred inside the selected session context.
Another practical edge is the confirmation flexibility. Some traders prefer immediate reclaim behavior on the same bar. Others want one additional bar for confirmation. This script supports both approaches, plus an Either mode for broader detection.
The visual side is also deliberately managed. Reclaim labels, arrows, guide lines, sweep boxes, label spacing controls, visible label limits, and HTF label filtering are included so the output remains usable instead of turning into uncontrolled chart clutter.
Methodology
The script retrieves the previous day’s high and low and tracks live interaction with those two reference levels.
Bullish reclaim logic begins with a downside sweep:
- price trades below the Previous Day Low
- price then closes back above the Previous Day Low
- confirmation can occur on the same bar, on the next bar, or by either method depending on settings
Bearish reclaim logic mirrors that process:
- price trades above the Previous Day High
- price then closes back below the Previous Day High
- confirmation follows the selected reclaim mode
After confirmation, the script computes a quality score from multiple components. These components are intended to give structure to the event rather than to claim certainty about future direction.
The quality model includes:
- sweep depth relative to ATR
- reclaim strength within the bar range
- rejection wick fraction
- relative volume versus a moving average baseline
- bar range relative to ATR
- urgency factor for same-bar versus next-bar confirmation
- candle body bias
- session participation
The final score is normalized to a 0-100 scale and translated into a simple tier:
- A
- B
- C
- D
This score is not meant to be a prediction engine. It is a ranking tool that helps organize reclaim events by relative quality under the script’s own rules.
Session filtering is available because many traders only want to evaluate sweep-and-reclaim behavior during specific active windows. London, New York, custom sessions, or unrestricted monitoring can be selected.
For chart usability, the script also includes:
- previous day range fill
- optional reclaim guide lines
- optional sweep boxes
- reversal arrows
- reclaim labels
- summary panel
- visible label limits
- HTF smart label filtering
- minimum bar spacing between same-side labels
Signals & Alerts
The script produces two primary confirmed event types:
1. Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
A downside sweep through PDL followed by a reclaim back above that level.
2. Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
An upside sweep through PDH followed by a reclaim back below that level.
When enabled, the chart can display:
- directional reclaim arrows
- reclaim labels with score, tier, and confirmation mode
- sweep zone boxes
- short reclaim guide lines
Built-in alerts are included for:
- Bullish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
- Bearish Previous Day Sweep & Reclaim
These alerts are tied to confirmed reclaim conditions defined by the selected confirmation mode and minimum quality threshold.
Key Inputs
Reclaim Confirmation
Choose whether confirmation must occur on the Same Bar, Next Bar, or Either.
One Signal Per Side / Day
Limits repeated signals of the same side within a single day.
Use Session Filter
Restricts detection to the selected session environment when desired.
Minimum Quality Score
Filters out lower-ranked reclaim events.
ATR Length / Volume SMA Length
Inputs used by the quality model.
Ideal Sweep Depth (ATR) / Maximum Sweep Depth (ATR)
Define how the script evaluates sweep depth quality.
Label and Visual Controls
Manage font size, offset, sweep boxes, guide lines, visible label count, and general chart cleanliness.
HTF Smart Label Filter
Helps reduce label overload on daily, weekly, and monthly charts.
Minimum Bars Between Same-Side Labels
Introduces spacing between repeated bullish or bearish reclaim labels to prevent visual stacking.
Limitations & Transparency
This script is an analytical overlay. It is not a strategy, not an execution model, and not a guarantee of reversal.
A reclaim of PDH or PDL can still fail. Markets can continue trending after a sweep, especially during strong directional conditions, news-driven volatility, or low-liquidity distortions. For that reason, the quality score should be interpreted as an internal event-ranking framework, not as proof of future performance.
Session settings matter. Timeframe context matters. Confirmation mode matters. Label filters also affect what is visible on the chart, especially on higher timeframes. Users should understand that changing these inputs changes the strictness and presentation of the output.
This tool does not use order book data, broker-specific execution data, or hidden liquidity metrics. It works entirely from chart-based price and volume inputs available in Pine.
It is also important to note what this script does not attempt to do:
- it does not classify overall market regime
- it does not replace broader structure analysis
- it does not define entries, stops, or exits for the user
- it does not evaluate multi-level confluence outside its own reclaim framework
In short, it is a focused map for previous-day sweep and reclaim behavior, nothing more and nothing less.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use only. It does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
All trading decisions involve risk. Past price behavior around previous-day levels does not guarantee future results. Users should apply their own confirmation process, risk management rules, and market context analysis before acting on any chart signal.
Always test settings carefully and use the tool as one component inside a broader decision-making process, not as a standalone basis for trading.

AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine
Overview / What it does
AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine is a price-reference overlay built to track prior day, prior week, and prior month high / low levels in a clean and structured way. The script can display PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, and optionally PMH / PML, together with midpoint equilibrium levels for the selected ranges.
The main purpose of the script is not to predict direction, generate guaranteed entries, or replace a complete trading plan. Its role is narrower and more practical: it helps traders keep important prior-period reference levels visible on the chart, distinguish which levels remain active, and identify which ones have already been traded through. In many markets, prior highs and lows are widely monitored as liquidity, reaction, and reference areas. This script organizes those areas into a format that is easier to read in live conditions.
A core design goal of this tool is chart hygiene. Many prior-level indicators become visually noisy when several daily, weekly, and monthly references are drawn together. This script was designed to keep the structure readable by using a minimal label system, right-extended lines, a swept / unswept state model, and an optional dashboard that summarizes the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly levels.
The result is a workflow-oriented overlay that helps with context. Instead of forcing interpretation through aggressive signals, it presents a structured map of where important prior-period levels are located, whether they are still untouched, and whether current price is approaching one of them. That makes it suitable for traders who want an objective level engine rather than a directional prediction tool.
Unique Edge
The script focuses on presentation quality and state clarity rather than simple level plotting. Prior highs and lows are not rare concepts, but the practical usefulness of such levels depends heavily on how they are filtered, displayed, and maintained on the chart. This script aims to improve that usability in several ways.
First, it separates active levels from swept levels. This matters because a previously untouched level and a level that has already been traded through do not carry the same contextual value for many traders. By visually differentiating unswept and swept references, the overlay can help reduce ambiguity when reviewing current structure.
Second, it combines multi-period references in one coherent engine. Daily, weekly, and optional monthly levels can all be displayed together, while preserving a relatively clean visual hierarchy. This is particularly useful for traders who want to see whether current price is interacting with short-term references inside larger higher-timeframe ranges.
Third, it includes proximity logic. The script can highlight levels when price is near them using a threshold defined in ticks, percentage, or ATR terms. This does not imply a trade signal by itself. Instead, it acts as a situational awareness feature that helps traders notice when price is entering a predefined level zone.
Fourth, the script offers session and timezone controls. That allows the user to adapt the level-building logic to the exchange clock or to a chosen session definition. For traders who care about session-based construction and consistency across instruments, this can be an important operational detail.
Finally, the panel is designed as a compact summary rather than a decorative feature. It reports the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly references, shows counts for active and swept levels, and keeps session / timezone / label mode settings visible. The goal is to reduce chart scanning time and make the script easier to use during live analysis.
Methodology
The engine tracks highs and lows from completed prior periods and then projects those values forward as reference lines. Depending on the enabled settings, it can build:
- Previous Day High and Previous Day Low
- Previous Week High and Previous Week Low
- Previous Month High and Previous Month Low
- Optional equilibrium midpoints for each enabled range
Each level is created only after the relevant source period is completed. In that sense, the level itself is based on completed historical range data. Once created, the line is monitored for its state. If price trades through a high reference or a low reference, the script marks that level as swept and changes its visual treatment accordingly.
The script also maintains historical periods up to the number defined in the settings. This makes it possible to preserve a limited amount of recent structure without keeping an unlimited number of stale objects on the chart.
The equilibrium option adds the midpoint of the corresponding prior range. Some traders use these 50% areas as balance references or as secondary context between the prior high and low. Because that midpoint is optional, the user can keep it visible when needed or disable it for a cleaner chart.
The proximity engine measures how close current price is to an active level using one of three methods:
- Tick distance
- Percentage distance
- ATR-based distance
This feature is meant to flag nearness, not to define trade quality on its own. A prior level being near price does not automatically make the setup actionable. It only states that price is close to a tracked reference according to the selected threshold logic.
States / Signals / Alerts
This script is primarily a level-state and context tool. It is not a directional forecasting model. Its most important outputs are state-based:
1) Active level
A level is considered active when it has been created from a completed prior period and has not yet been traded through by price.
2) Swept level
A level is considered swept when price trades through that reference. Visually separating swept levels from active ones helps the chart communicate which prior references remain untouched.
3) Near-level condition
When enabled, the script can highlight active levels that are close to current price according to the user-defined threshold method. This can help traders focus attention on nearby reference zones without scanning the entire chart manually.
4) Compact dashboard state
The panel summarizes the nearest active daily, weekly, and monthly levels, along with active count, swept count, near count, selected timezone, session configuration, and label mode.
The included alert conditions are intentionally simple and state-based:
- Price is near one of the active levels
- At least one tracked level was swept on the current bar
These alerts are meant to support monitoring. They are not, by themselves, a complete trading trigger. Users should interpret them together with structure, volatility, session context, confirmation rules, and their own risk process.
Why this script can be useful
This script can be useful because prior highs and lows often matter most when they are easy to monitor and hard to misread. In practice, traders do not only need the raw numbers; they need a chart presentation that allows those numbers to remain readable during fast market conditions.
A clean prior-level map can help in several common situations:
- Evaluating whether price is approaching an untouched daily or weekly reference
- Checking whether a local move is happening inside a larger higher-timeframe level framework
- Distinguishing still-relevant references from already-tested ones
- Monitoring potential reaction zones without crowding the chart with excessive objects
- Organizing reference structure across intraday and swing workflows
The script is also designed to remain practical over time. Instead of drawing everything with equal visual importance, it uses state logic and summary logic to keep the display more structured. That can make the tool easier to integrate into a routine where prior-period references are part of the trader's contextual process.
Another useful aspect is that the script stays objective. It does not attempt to label every market move with a strong opinion. It shows completed prior-period levels, their current state, and whether price is approaching them. Many traders prefer this kind of neutral reference framework because it can be combined with other methodologies without forcing one interpretation.
Key Inputs
Timezone
The script can use the exchange timezone or a selected timezone. This affects how period transitions are interpreted.
Use Custom Session Filter
When enabled, highs and lows are built only from bars inside the selected session. This allows the user to adapt the range construction to a chosen session framework.
Session
Defines the custom session window when session filtering is enabled.
Show Previous Day / Week / Month Levels
Each group can be enabled or disabled independently so the user can decide how much structure to display.
Show Equilibrium Midpoints
Adds the 50% midpoint of each enabled prior range.
Historical Periods to Keep
Controls how many past periods remain visible on the chart for each enabled level family.
Proximity Threshold Type
Lets the user define nearness by ticks, percentage, or ATR.
Threshold Value / ATR Length
Controls the sensitivity of the proximity logic.
Highlight Levels When Near
Allows visual emphasis when price approaches an active level.
Line Style and Extension Settings
Controls the appearance of unswept and swept lines and whether active lines extend to the right.
Minimal Label Mode
Allows labels to be turned off, restricted, or shown for active levels, depending on the user's preferred chart cleanliness.
Panel Controls
The dashboard can be enabled or disabled and its size, position, and colors can be adjusted.
Example use cases
This script can be used in different ways depending on the trader's workflow.
Intraday context mapping:
A trader may monitor PDH and PDL together with PWH and PWL to understand whether intraday price is moving into untouched daily liquidity while still operating inside a broader weekly range.
Reaction-zone awareness:
A trader may use near-level highlighting to notice when price is approaching an unswept prior high or prior low and then look for separate confirmation with their own method.
Structure filtering:
A trader may ignore swept references and focus mainly on active levels that remain intact, especially when trying to simplify the chart during live sessions.
Session-based reference building:
A trader who prefers a specific session logic can use the session filter so the constructed ranges better match their market framework.
Dashboard monitoring:
A trader may use the panel as a quick situational summary to identify which daily, weekly, or monthly reference is closest without manually reading every line.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not know why price interacts with a level. It only identifies prior-period references and tracks whether they are active, near, or swept according to the rules defined in the code.
A prior level is not automatically support or resistance in every market condition. Some reactions are meaningful, some are shallow, and some levels are passed through with little response. For that reason, the script should be treated as a structured reference map rather than a self-sufficient trade decision engine.
The near-level logic depends on user-defined thresholds. Different threshold types and values can materially change how often levels are classified as near. Traders should calibrate these settings according to instrument volatility and their own workflow.
Session and timezone choices also matter. The same market can produce different prior-period values depending on how the session is defined. Users should select settings that match the way they analyze the instrument.
Historical object limits, chart timeframe, and chart compression can influence how dense the display appears. A setting that looks clean on one instrument or timeframe may feel crowded on another. The script provides controls to manage that, but users should still adapt it to their own use case.
The midpoint equilibrium lines are optional because not every trader uses 50% references the same way. Their inclusion does not imply that the midpoint has universal predictive value. It is simply provided as an additional structural reference.
This script is intentionally conservative in what it claims. It does not claim to detect institutional intent, hidden order flow, or guaranteed reversals. It displays prior completed reference levels and their current state on the chart.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or trade recommendations.
Prior-period highs, lows, and midpoint references can be useful market context, but they are not guarantees of reaction, reversal, continuation, or liquidity behavior. Market conditions can change quickly, and price can move through any level without producing a tradable setup.
Users should combine this tool with their own confirmation process, execution rules, position sizing framework, and risk management. No indicator should be used as the sole basis for entering or exiting a trade.
Before using any chart tool in live markets, it is important to understand how its settings affect output, how it behaves on the instrument being traded, and how it fits into a broader decision process.
AG Pro PDH PDL PWH PWL Engine is designed to help organize prior-period level information in a cleaner and more operational format. Its value comes from clarity, state tracking, and context support, not from predictive certainty.

Volume & Volatility Companion█ VOLUME & VOLATILITY COMPANION (VVC)
Complete Volume Dynamics & Volatility Analysis
A comprehensive overlay indicator that combines anchored VWAP with standard-deviation bands , Bollinger Squeeze detection , volume strength analysis , and session level tracking — all with automatic timeframe adaptation. It gives you a complete read on volume dynamics and volatility conditions directly on your price chart.
Free and Open Source.
█ THE CONCEPT: WHY VOLUME + VOLATILITY TOGETHER?
Volume and volatility are the two most overlooked edges in technical analysis. Price alone only tells half the story. Volume confirms conviction — a breakout on high volume is real, on low volume it's suspect. Volatility compression (squeeze) precedes explosive moves. VVC brings both dimensions together in one overlay so you never miss these critical signals.
█ CORE FEATURES
1. VWAP + Standard Deviation Bands
The Volume-Weighted Average Price acts as the institutional fair-value anchor:
VWAP Line — Dynamic equilibrium price. Institutions track this level religiously.
Band 1 (1 StdDev) — Inner value zone. Mean-reversion entries when price touches and bounces.
Band 2 (2 StdDev) — Outer extreme zone. Overextension signals when price reaches here.
Configurable anchor period: Session (daily), Week, or Month.
2. Bollinger Squeeze Detection
Detects the classic volatility compression setup where Bollinger Bands contract inside Keltner Channels:
Squeeze ON (red dots) — BB inside KC = low volatility, energy building
Squeeze OFF (cyan dots) — Normal volatility
Squeeze Release (diamond markers) — BB breaks out of KC after sustained compression = breakout imminent
Momentum direction at release determines the breakout bias.
3. Volume Analysis
Classifies each bar's volume relative to its moving average:
EXTREME — Volume > 2.5x average (institutional footprint)
HIGH — Volume > 1.5x average (above-average interest)
NORMAL — Average range
LOW — Volume < 0.5x average (thin market, low conviction)
4. Session Levels
Key reference levels plotted directly on the chart:
Session High/Low — Current intraday range boundaries
Previous Day High/Low — Breakout/rejection levels
Previous Day Close — Settlement level (bias reference)
5. Auto-Timeframe Adaptation
All calculation parameters automatically adjust to your chart timeframe. Toggle to manual mode for full control.
█ DASHBOARD
A compact, dark-themed info panel showing:
VWAP — Current position (ABOVE / BELOW / AT) + value
Squeeze — ON with bar count or OFF
BB Width — Percentage bandwidth for volatility context
Volume — Classification (EXTREME / HIGH / NORMAL / LOW) + ratio vs MA
Session — Current session range in price units
█ ALERTS (4 CONDITIONS)
Bullish Squeeze Release — Squeeze fires with upward momentum
Bearish Squeeze Release — Squeeze fires with downward momentum
Squeeze Building — Consecutive squeeze bars hit threshold
Extreme Volume — Detected on any bar
█ PRO VERSION
The PRO version adds:
MACD Analysis — Full MACD with signal/zero crossovers and divergence detection
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Net buying/selling pressure tracking
Bull/Bear Confluence Scoring — Combined score from all modules for directional bias
5 Additional Alerts — MACD crosses, volume confirmation signals
█ NON-REPAINTING
VWAP uses cumulative volume data (non-repainting by design). Bollinger Squeeze uses standard BB/KC calculations. Volume analysis uses simple moving average. Previous day levels use confirmed daily data. No repainting.
█ WORKS ON
Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Futures, Indices — any timeframe from 1 minute to Weekly+.
█ DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research and manage your risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.

Pro Levels & Zones [MTE]Pro Levels & Zones
An intraday futures overlay that combines pivot-based supply and demand zones with multi-session key levels and a confluence-based signal filter. The core idea is that zones alone generate too many potential entries — by requiring alignment across multiple independent factors before labeling a zone touch, the indicator filters out low-conviction setups and highlights where several references converge.
HOW IT WORKS
Supply & Demand Zone Detection
Zones are built from 60-minute pivot highs and pivot lows using a 3-bar left / 3-bar right pivot structure. When a pivot high is confirmed, the area between the candle's high and the top of its body becomes a supply zone (red). When a pivot low is confirmed, the area between the candle's low and the bottom of its body becomes a demand zone (green). Zones extend forward in real time and are automatically removed when price closes beyond the zone boundary or when the zone exceeds a configurable age limit (default: 500 bars). Only the 3 most recent zones per side are kept to avoid chart clutter.
Confluence Scoring (signal filter)
When price enters a fresh (unused) zone, the indicator checks up to 5 independent factors before printing a signal:
1. Volume delta direction — estimated from the bar's close position within its range. A buy signal requires positive delta; a sell signal requires negative delta.
2. VWAP proximity — whether price is near the session VWAP (within 0.15% of current price).
3. Key level proximity — whether price is near a relevant prior-session level (PDH, PDL, PMH, PML).
4. POC proximity — whether price is near the intraday volume Point of Control.
5. VWAP trend bias — whether price is on the "right side" of VWAP for the signal direction (buy below VWAP, sell above).
Each matching factor adds 1 to the score. The signal label displays the count (e.g., "Buy 4/5") so traders can see at a glance how many factors aligned. A configurable cooldown (default: 12 bars) prevents repeated signals in the same area. An additional filter requires bearish candle close for sells and bullish candle close for buys.
Note: The confluence score is simply a count of how many factors happen to align at the moment of zone contact. A higher count does not predict or guarantee a successful trade. It is a filtering tool, not a performance metric.
SESSION LEVELS & KEY LEVELS
The indicator tracks and displays levels from multiple sessions:
- London session high/low — plotted as live-updating steplines during the session, then held after session close.
- Asia session high/low — same behavior, off by default.
- Key levels drawn as dashed horizontal lines: Previous Day High/Low/Close (PDH/PDL/PDC), Pre-Market High/Low (PMH/PML), Previous Week High/Low (PWH/PWL), Overnight High/Low (ONH/ONL), and the RTH Opening Print. All are off by default and individually toggleable.
Previous day and week values use request.security() with a offset and lookahead_on, which is the standard method to reference the prior completed period without future data leakage.
ADDITIONAL TOOLS (all off by default)
- VWAP — standard session-anchored VWAP using ohlc4 as source.
- POC — intraday volume Point of Control calculated by distributing each bar's volume into a 100-bin histogram across the RTH price range, then finding the bin with the highest accumulated volume. Resets daily.
- Fair Value Gaps — bullish and bearish imbalances detected when a gap exists between bar 's low and bar 's high (or vice versa), filtered by a minimum percentage size (default: 0.15%). FVGs auto-expire after 40 bars. Maximum 6 active FVGs.
- Opening Range — plots the RTH opening range as a box (15 or 30 minute, configurable). Extends through the session.
WHY THIS COMBINATION
Most zone-based approaches generate signals every time price touches a zone, regardless of context. This indicator addresses that by requiring zone contact AND directional volume AND candle confirmation before printing anything, then layering additional context (VWAP, key levels, POC) as a visible confluence count. The result is fewer signals that occur only at zones where multiple independent references happen to converge.
The session levels (London, Asia, pre-market, overnight) are included because futures often react at session boundaries, and having them as toggleable overlays avoids needing separate indicators cluttering the chart.
HOW TO USE
1. Apply to a 1-15 minute intraday futures chart (defaults tuned for NQ on 5 min).
2. Adjust "Min Zone Size" for your instrument (NQ: 20-50 pts, ES: 5-15 pts).
3. Watch for Buy/Sell labels at zone touches. Higher confluence counts (4/5, 5/5) mean more factors aligned — use your own judgment on whether the context supports a trade.
4. Toggle key levels on/off depending on which session references matter to your trading approach.
5. All features are independently toggleable. Start with zones + signals, then add levels as needed.
DEFAULT SETTINGS
- Zones: ON, min size 20 pts, max age 500 bars
- Signals: ON, cooldown 12 bars, volume delta confirmation ON
- London session levels: ON
- All other levels and tools: OFF
LIMITATIONS
- Volume delta is estimated from bar close position within range — it is not true order flow data.
- POC uses a 100-bin histogram which is an approximation, not tick-level volume profile.
- Confluence scoring counts factor alignment but does not predict outcomes. Past confluence patterns do not guarantee future results.
- Zone detection has a 3-bar lag due to pivot confirmation.
- Designed for futures instruments. Adjust zone size settings for other markets.

Liquidity Sweep Rider Institutional HFT Grabber Liquidity Sweep Rider Strategy (Swing Pivot + Volume Filter)
Publication Description:
This is an open-source Pine Script v6 strategy that identifies potential liquidity sweep patterns around confirmed swing highs and lows.
It uses:
Pivot points (ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow) to mark historical swing levels where orders (such as stops or pending entries) often cluster.
A volume filter requiring above-average volume (SMA-based with multiplier) on the sweep candle to highlight stronger moves.
Classic sweep logic: price wicks beyond the level but closes back inside, suggesting a possible reversal after liquidity is taken.
Entry rules:
Long: after a downside sweep below a recent swing low (with volume condition).
Short: after an upside sweep above a recent swing high (with volume condition).
Features include:
Optional toggles to enable/disable long/short directions.
ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit (configurable multipliers and risk-reward ratio).
Visual plots for liquidity levels, entry signals, background highlights, and an info table.
Alert conditions for long/short triggers.
Important notes:
This is an educational/example script for backtesting and learning.
Past performance does not indicate future results. Trading involves significant risk of loss — use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
No guarantees of profitability are made. Always test thoroughly on demo accounts before live use.
Customize parameters (pivot lengths, volume multiplier, ATR settings) based on the instrument and timeframe you trade. Works on various markets/timeframes but performs differently depending on liquidity and volatility.

Intraday Refuges/Shelters (RID)==========================================
RID (INTRADAY SHELTERS/REFUGES) INDICATOR
==========================================
*Fair warning: this may be more words than a humble, simple indicator truly
needs… but Claude insisted.
// ** INTRODUCTION ** //
RID (Intraday Shelters/Refuges) is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-implement
indicator designed for monitoring price action on intraday timeframes — the same
ones used by institutional operators to execute their trades within each market session.
The indicator generates a framework of support and resistance levels automatically
calculated from the asset's Daily Opening Price (D.O.P.). These levels are established
using fixed percentages that have proven their effectiveness in institutional trading
for decades, constituting "textbook" references widely adopted by market professionals.
RID integrates as an optional module within our Weekly Shelters (RS) indicator, allowing
the operator to simultaneously control their weekly positions and, when conditions warrant,
move down to intraday operations without loading additional indicators or losing sight
of the higher timeframe.
// ** INDICATOR FUNDAMENTALS ** //
The foundation of RID rests on a proven market principle: the daily opening price acts
as a "psychological anchor" that influences participant behavior throughout the entire session.
Why does this method work?
• UNIVERSAL REFERENCE POINT: The daily opening price is objective data, visible to all
market participants simultaneously. Institutions, algorithms, and retail traders use it
as a common reference to calibrate their decisions.
• STANDARD PERCENTAGE LEVELS: The percentages used (0.382%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5% and
extensions) are not arbitrary. They represent intraday volatility thresholds that have
historically acted as inflection points across multiple asset classes.
• SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY EFFECT: When a critical mass of operators place orders at the
same percentage levels —whether for profit-taking, protective stops, or entries—
these levels become high-probability price reaction zones.
• INSTITUTIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT: Institutional trading desks frequently define their daily
loss limits and profit targets in percentage terms relative to the open. RID captures
this logic and makes it visible for retail operators.
The ±0.382% level deserves special mention: it's a derivation of the Fibonacci golden ratio
(0.382) applied to the intraday context, representing the first significant movement threshold
from the opening.
// ** INDICATOR OBJECTIVES ** //
1) Facilitate manual intraday trade execution by providing a framework of target prices
established under a scheme of mathematical certainty, eliminating subjectivity in
defining entries, exits, and stops.
2) Serve as a lightweight and modular tool, easily integrable —either as an overlay or
source code— with strategies and indicators specialized in intraday trade execution,
both manual and automated.
3) Provide a visual reference framework that allows the operator to quickly assess the
intraday market "temperature": Is price near a key support or resistance? Has it already
reached the session's typical movement target? Is it time to seek entries or protect profits?
// ** INDICATOR TECHNICAL FEATURES ** //
• 21 CONFIGURABLE LEVELS: 11 main levels (±0.382%, ±1.0%, ±1.5%, ±2.0%, ±2.5% and D.O.P.)
plus 10 extended levels (±3.0% to ±5.0%) for high volatility sessions. Each level can
be individually enabled or disabled according to operator needs.
• AUTOMATIC D.O.P. DETECTION: The indicator automatically identifies the start of each daily
session and captures the opening price without user intervention.
• CONFIGURABLE HISTORY LIMIT: Option to limit processing to the last N days (default: 3),
optimizing performance on very low timeframes (1m, 5m) where excess historical data can
slow down the chart.
• PROFESSIONAL VISUALIZATION: Labels with formatted price (thousands separators) and
percentage, placeable with configurable offset. The D.O.P. level (0%) is highlighted
with differentiated width.
• VERTICAL REFERENCE LINES: From D.O.P. to each level, facilitating visualization of the
percentage distance traveled.
• FULL CUSTOMIZATION: Colors, widths, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), label opacity,
and forward extension fully adjustable.
• PRICE SCALE INTEGRATION: Levels can be displayed on the right margin of PulseWire,
controllable from the indicator's Style tab.
• BAR REPLAY COMPATIBILITY: Works perfectly with Bar Replay for back-testing
intraday strategies.
• OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE: Efficient architecture with persistent arrays and intelligent
updating, suitable for timeframes down to 1 minute.
// ** OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ** //
INITIAL SETUP:
1) Load the indicator on a chart with 4H or lower timeframe (1H, 30m, 15m, 5m, 1m).
2) Enable "Limit history by days" and adjust "Maximum days to display" according to your needs:
• For scalping (1m-5m): 1-2 days
• For day trading (15m-1H): 2-3 days
• For intraday swing (4H): 3-5 days
OPERATIONAL USE:
3) Identify the D.O.P. (0% line): This is your central reference point for the session.
4) Observe current price position relative to levels:
• Price above D.O.P. → Session with bullish bias
• Price below D.O.P. → Session with bearish bias
5) Use levels as:
• ENTRIES: Look for reversal signals when price reaches S1-S5 (buys) or R1-R5 (sells)
• TARGETS: Set take-profits at the next resistance level (longs) or support (shorts)
• STOPS: Place protective stops beyond the immediate opposite level
PRACTICAL RULES:
6) The ±1.0% and ±2.0% levels are historically most respected; prioritize them.
7) If price exceeds ±2.5% from open, it might be time to take profits and close your position
or consider enabling extended levels (±3.0% to ±5.0%).
8) High volatility days (news, earnings): wait for price to respect at least one level
before trading in its direction.
9) Combine RID with other indicators from our ecosystem (RS, RMP, RLP/RLPS) to confirm level
confluence across multiple timeframes.
VISUAL OPTIMIZATION:
10) For clean charts: keep enabled only main levels (±0.382% to ±2.5%).
11) For detailed volatile asset analysis: also enable extended levels.
12) Adjust "Label margin" to prevent overlap with current price.
// ** INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SHELTER VALUE INDICATORS ** //
RID is part of a complete shelter-based analysis ecosystem we have developed:
• RLP (Long-Term Shelters): For automatic determination of the preponderant phase
of a Zigzag, which institutional investors choose as the base of a Fibo whose
levels calculate order placement projection over the following months and years.
• RLPS (Simplified Long-Term Shelters): Simplified version of RLP where known
coordinates of the preponderant phase are captured, obtained through own analysis
or automatically with the RLP indicator.
• RMP (Medium-Term Shelters): Provides psychological shelter and resistance levels
that institutional investors establish at the beginning of each year. They
constitute the main framework used by professionals to plan operations
throughout the year.
• RS (Weekly Shelters): For short-term tactical analysis (4H, 1H) based on selected
phases of one or two Zigzags that define Fibo tracing, over recent major and minor
degree pauses, whose levels take effect during the current and following weeks.
• RID (Intraday Shelters): This indicator. For intraday operations based on levels
calculated from daily opening price, designed for 4H or lower timeframes,
including scalping strategies.
By combining RID with RLP/RLPS, RMP and RS, a multilevel scaffolding is built that
allows trading with clarity on any time horizon, from minute positions to operations
projected over months and years.

This indicator displays the **Average Daily Range (ADR)** and **ADR Percentage** in a customizable table on your chart.
While the standard ATR (Average True Range) is a popular metric for volatility, it accounts for price gaps (e.g., overnight moves). **ADR**, on the other hand, strictly measures the average distance between the **High** and **Low** of price bars, completely ignoring gaps.
**Why use ADR instead of ATR?**
* **Day Trading:** For intraday traders (Forex, Crypto, Futures), ADR is often preferred because it calculates the "tradable" range of the day. It answers the question: *"On average, how much does this asset move from High to Low?"*
* **Target Setting:** ADR is excellent for projecting daily highs and lows. If price has already moved 100% of its ADR, the statistical probability of further extension decreases.
* **Pure Volatility:** It filters out the noise of overnight gaps to show pure intraday volatility.
**Calculation Logic**
* **ADR:** Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the `High - Low` range over the specified length.
* Formula: `SMA(High - Low, Length)`
* **ADR%:** Shows the ADR relative to the current price.
* Formula: `(ADR / Current Close) * 100`
**Features**
* **Clean Dashboard:** A minimalist table displays the ADR value and the ADR %.
* **Customizable:** You can change the calculation length (default is 14) and move the table to any corner of the chart (Top/Bottom, Left/Right) to fit your workspace.
**Settings**
* **ADR Length:** The lookback period for the average (Default: 14).
* **Display Position:** Choose where the table appears on your screen. Indicator
