Grid Ranges+ (M1D)Grid Ranges+ (M1D)
A grid-range framework for the New York trading day. It draws the higher-timeframe levels that frame the current range, divides any range you choose into quadrants, octants or sixteenths, boxes the three trading sessions, and reads the 12AM–2AM algorithmic range for aid in a directional bias.
Every session window is evaluated in America/New York regardless of the time zone the chart is viewed from, and every window is an input.
HOW IT IS BUILT
Levels are anchored to the candle that formed them. A higher-timeframe data request returns the value of a period's high but not the bar that made it. This script tracks each period's extremes on the chart instead, along with the bar time of each, so a previous-day high begins at the candle that set it rather than at the moment the number changed. The trade-off is that a period only reports once its opening bar is inside loaded history; where it is not, the level stays hidden rather than anchoring to a bar that did not set it.
Week and month boundaries derive from the New York day stamp, not from a weekly timeframe change, which is unreliable on futures instruments.
The swing pair is kept alternating. Pivot-high and pivot-low detection are independent of each other, so a chart can print several highs with no qualifying low between them. A pivot on the same side as the stored one replaces it only when it is more extreme, while a pivot on the opposite side begins the next leg. Without that rule, a recent high pairs with a low from a different move and the two do not describe one leg.
WHAT IT DRAWS
Levels.
Previous month, previous week, previous day and three-day highs and lows, the previous day's equilibrium, and the midnight open. Each line runs from its origin candle to a fixed right-hand edge and carries its name at that end, on the same eye-line as the price it names. Names that would otherwise print on top of each other move right into a second column rather than off their own line.
The grid.
A range bounded by any two of those levels, selected from two dropdowns and oriented automatically, divided into quadrants, octants or sixteenths. It begins at the earlier of the two origin candles. The midline is labelled EQ, and quarter fractions are reduced to lowest terms. A fraction is suppressed wherever a level already names that price, so no price carries two names.
Sessions.
Asia, London and New York as boxes that grow with each session's own high and low and freeze when the window closes. The caption sits below the box at the session open. Each session carries its own day mask.
The bias.
The 12AM–2AM algorithmic range as a box, and a console reading BULLISH, BEARISH, INVALIDATED or UNSET. A sweep clearing both the range boundary and the midnight open inside the sweep window, followed by a confirmed close back inside the range, arms a directional read. A confirmed close back through the swept extreme invalidates it, after which the opposite side may arm. Three alert conditions cover those transitions.
SETTINGS
Grouped as-
Time windows, Sessions, Bias engine, Grid range, Levels shown, Level styling and Labels.
Every level carries its own colour, line style, line width and label offset. The grid carries its own colour, style, width, interior transparency and equilibrium colour. Every session window is an input with a New York default and its own day mask, and session boxes carry their own colours and fill transparency.
NOTES
Nothing extends to the right edge of the chart. Every line stops a set number of bars past the live candle, and its label sits at that end.
Current-day and swing anchors move as the session develops, so a grid anchored to them redraws live. A grid anchored to completed periods does not.
Display toggles gate drawing only. Hiding an element never stops it being tracked, so the bias read is unaffected by what is on screen.
Grid boundaries are not drawn by the grid by default. A boundary is the anchor level itself, which already draws its own line from its own origin candle.

Dealing RangeDealing Range (DR) — Session Range Tracker
Automatically maps the full CME session range from 6:00 PM to 4:15 PM New York time, tracking the highest high and lowest low as the session develops in real time. DR.High and DR.Low expand bar by bar and freeze at session close, giving you a clean visual boundary of the day's full price delivery range.
Within that range, the indicator plots the 25%, 50%, and 75% equilibrium levels. The 50% acts as the session's premium/discount divide — price trading above it is in premium, below it is in discount. The 25% and 75% levels mark the first standard reaction zones within each half of the range, useful for anticipating where price may stall, reverse, or accelerate through.
At the open of each new session, the completed range is preserved as the Previous Dealing Range (PDR.High, PDR.Low) with its own set of percentage levels. These static reference lines carry forward as key context for the incoming session — particularly the PDR 50%, which frequently acts as a draw on liquidity or a decision point during the early hours of the new session.
All visual elements are independently configurable. Current DR boundaries, current DR levels, previous DR lines, and labels for both sessions can each be toggled, recolored, resized, and restyled without affecting one another.
Can set to only having one Range active at once, just used both to show both the ranges off, Works the same as the MTF DR just not using individual sessions for Higher time frame analysis.
Enjoy. :) Indicator
OTE Sweep Signal + MTF Bias + VWAP + DR# OTE Sweep Signal + MTF Bias + VWAP + DR
## Overview
A comprehensive intraday trading system that combines four core concepts into one indicator: **Dealing Range (DR) session boxes**, **Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) sweep signals**, **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) bias**, and **VWAP**. Designed for futures traders (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES) but works on any liquid intraday instrument.
The indicator automatically identifies when price sweeps liquidity above or below a prior HTF candle's high or low, pulls back into the 50–61.8% retracement zone (the OTE), and fires an entry signal — all filtered by session time, swing structure, range limits, VWAP, and a confirmed Dealing Range bias.
---
## How It Works
### 1. HTF Sweep Detection
On each new bar of your chosen Signal Timeframe (default 60m), the indicator locks in the prior candle's high and low as liquidity targets. If price sweeps above the prior high without taking the prior low (bull sweep), or below the prior low without taking the prior high (bear sweep), the sweep is locked in and the OTE zone is drawn.
### 2. OTE Zone
Once a sweep is detected, the indicator calculates the retracement zone between the 50% and your chosen OTE level (default 61.8%) of the swept candle's range. When price closes back inside this zone for the first time, an entry signal fires.
### 3. Entry, Stop, BE, and Target
- **Entry**: Top of OTE zone (bull) or bottom (bear)
- **Stop**: Prior candle high/low OR OTE zone buffer (selectable)
- **Break Even (BE)**: HTF candle open price
- **Target**: Prior candle H/L, next HTF swing H/L, or a fixed R:R multiplier
Each signal draws a label showing all four levels.
---
## Settings Groups
### Timeframe
- **Signal Timeframe** — The HTF used to identify sweeps and draw the OTE zone. Default 60m. Works on any intraday TF (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m).
- **Auto Sweep Window** — Automatically sets the window for valid sweeps to 1/3 of the signal TF duration. Turn off to set manually.
- **Sweep Window (minutes)** — Manual sweep window when Auto is off.
---
### OTE Zone
- **OTE Level (%)** — The deep retracement level that defines the bottom of the OTE zone. Default 61.8%. Range: 55–79%.
- **Show OTE Zone** — Toggle the shaded OTE box on/off.
- **Show Key Levels** — Toggle individual level lines (prior H/L, open, stop, target).
---
### Signals
- **Show Entry Arrows** — LONG/SHORT arrows plotted at the signal bar.
- **Show Stop & Target Label** — Detailed label with Entry, Stop, BE, and Target levels.
- **Stop Method** — *Prior Candle High/Low*: stop at the swept candle's opposite extreme. *OTE Zone Buffer*: stop just beyond the OTE deep level by a % of range.
- **OTE Stop Buffer** — Buffer percentage when using OTE Zone Buffer stop method.
- **Max Prior Candle Range (pts)** — Filters out signals where the swept candle's range is too large to produce a clean OTE setup. Default 100 pts.
- **Enable Max Range Filter** — Toggle the range filter on/off.
- **Target Method** — *Prior Candle H/L*: target the opposite extreme of the swept candle. *Next Swing H/L*: target the nearest HTF swing high/low beyond the sweep. *Fixed R:R*: target = entry ± (risk × multiplier).
- **Fixed R:R Multiplier** — Used only when Target Method is Fixed R:R. 2.0 = 2:1 reward to risk.
---
### Swing Filter
Filters out signals where price has swept through an intermediate HTF swing high or low between the prior candle extreme and the current bar. This prevents chasing signals that are actually breaking through multi-bar structure, not just taking a liquidity sweep.
- **Enable Swing Filter** — Toggle on/off.
- **Show Swing Levels** — Plots the four most recent HTF swing highs and lows as reference lines.
- **Show Blocked Signals** — Shows faded X arrows where a signal was detected but blocked by the swing filter or range filter.
---
### Session Filter
- **Enable Session Filter** — Only fire OTE signals during your defined trading hours.
- **Session Start Hour (ET)** — Default 9 (9 AM ET).
- **Session End Hour (ET)** — Default 16 (4 PM ET).
---
### Dealing Range (DR)
The Dealing Range (also called the Initial Balance) is the high/low established during each session's opening window. Three sessions are tracked independently.
**Session Times (all ET):**
| Session | Build Window | Extend Window |
|---|---|---|
| Asia | 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM | 8:00 PM – 2:00 AM |
| London | 3:00 AM – 4:00 AM | 4:00 AM – 8:30 AM |
| New York | 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM | 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM |
**Display options:**
- **Show Asia / London / New York DR** — Toggle each session independently.
- **DR Time / Extend** — Fully customizable session windows for each.
- **Show DR Box (build window only)** — Shaded box that spans only the DR build period. Updates live as price builds the range and freezes when the session ends.
- **Show DR High/Low Lines** — Horizontal lines at the DR high and low. Can extend into the session extend window.
- **Extend H/L Lines into session** — When on, H/L lines extend to the end of the session extend window.
- **Show DR Open Line** — Dashed line at the first price of the DR session.
- **Show 25 / 50 / 75% Levels** — Internal DR levels at 25%, 50%, and 75% of the DR range. Update live during the build window and freeze when the DR closes. Labeled at the right edge.
- **Extend % Lines into session** — When on, the 25/50/75% lines also extend into the extend window.
- **Show % Level Labels** — Small text labels at the right edge of each % line.
- **Line Width** — Width of all DR lines (1–4 px).
**Per-session colors:** Each session (Asia, London, NY) has three separate color pickers — Box fill, High/Low line, and % lines — so you can distinguish sessions at a glance.
**DR Open Line Color** — Shared color for the open line across all sessions.
**NY DR Break + Day Bias Filter:**
Once the NY DR build window closes (10:30 AM), the indicator watches for price to close outside the NY DR high or low. When confirmed, it locks in the day's directional bias and fires a labeled arrow on the chart.
- **Filter OTE by NY DR Break Direction** — When on, only takes OTE longs when day bias is BULL, only takes OTE shorts when day bias is BEAR.
- **Show DR Break Label on Chart** — Arrow label showing "BULL DR" or "BEAR DR" with timestamp at the confirmation bar.
- **Confirmation Closes Required** — Number of consecutive closes beyond the DR high/low needed to confirm (1–3). Default 1.
- **Enable Time Gate** — Prevents the DR bias filter from activating before a set time. Avoids pre-market fakeouts locking you into one direction all day. Default 10:30 AM ET.
- **Gate Hour / Gate Minute** — The time gate threshold.
- **Block All Signals Before Gate Time** — When on, no OTE signals fire at all until the gate time passes.
- **Break Bull / Bear Color** — Colors for the DR break label and bias display.
---
### VWAP
- **Show VWAP Line** — Plots the session VWAP. Color and width adjustable.
- **Enable VWAP Filter** — When on, only takes long OTE signals when price is above VWAP, and short signals when below. Defaults to OFF — use the Results Table to A/B test its effect.
- **Show VWAP Distance in Bias Table** — Adds a row to the MTF Bias Table showing how many points price is currently above or below VWAP.
---
### HTF Range Box
Draws a shaded box for every bar of your Signal Timeframe, spanning the full high-to-low range. The box updates live as the HTF candle builds and the color reflects the current candle's direction (green if close ≥ open, red if not). These boxes give immediate visual context for where the HTF candle is relative to its own range.
- **Show HTF Range Box** — Toggle on/off.
- **Bull / Bear Fill Color** — Box fill colors for bullish and bearish HTF candles.
- **Bull / Bear Border Color** — Border colors.
- **Border Width** — 0–4 px.
- **Extend Current Box Right** — When on, the active box projects one bar to the right.
---
### MTF Bias Table
A live bias dashboard showing whether each of your seven chosen timeframes is currently Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral — based on whether the current bar has broken above the prior bar's high or below the prior bar's low.
- **Show MTF Bias Table** — Toggle on/off.
- **TF 1–7** — Set any seven timeframes to monitor. Defaults: 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240, D.
- **Bias Table Position** — Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.
- **Bias Table Size** — Tiny, Small, Normal, Large.
- **Show Bull/Bear Score Row** — Summary row showing count of bullish vs bearish TFs (e.g. "4B / 3S").
- **Show Accuracy (n / %)** — For each TF, tracks how often the bias signal correctly predicted the following bar's close direction. Shows percentage and sample count. Each TF accumulates at its own rate — a 1m TF will have far more samples than a Daily.
- **All color options** — Separate colors for bullish fill/text, bearish fill/text, neutral fill/text, header fill/text, score row fill/text.
The table also includes a **NY DR BIAS** row at the bottom showing the current day's confirmed Dealing Range direction and whether the filter is active.
---
### Colors
- **Bullish / Bearish Color** — Main signal colors used for OTE zone fills and entry arrows.
- **Zone Transparency %** — How transparent the OTE zone fill is (60–95%).
---
### Results Table (Table 1 — Summary)
A compact performance summary. Position is independently configurable.
- **Show Results Table** — Toggle on/off.
- **Summary Table Position** — Where to anchor Table 1 (settings + stats + P&L).
- **Table Size** — Tiny, Small, Normal, Large.
- **Timezone** — ET by default.
- **$ Per Point** — Set to 20 for NQ, 2 for MNQ, 50 for ES, 5 for MES.
- **Number of Contracts** — Scales all dollar P&L figures.
**Table 1 shows:**
- Active filter settings (stop method, swing filter, session, max range, target, VWAP, DR)
- Trades, Wins, Break Evens, Losses, Blocked signals, Win Rate
- Avg Win (pts + $), Avg Loss (pts + $), Total Won, Total Lost
- Net P&L (pts + $)
---
### Results Table (Table 2 — Hour/Slot Breakdown)
Separate table showing performance broken down by time slot. Works correctly for any signal timeframe — a 30m signal TF shows `9:30AM-10:00AM` style slots, not just hourly.
- **Hour Table Position** — Where to anchor Table 2. Default: Bottom Left (separate from Table 1).
- **Columns**: Time slot | W | BE | L | Net Pts
---
## Signal Logic Summary
A signal fires when ALL of the following are true:
1. Price swept the prior HTF candle's high (long) or low (short) within the sweep window
2. Price closed back inside the OTE zone for the first time
3. Within the session filter hours
4. Prior candle range did not exceed the max range filter
5. No intermediate HTF swing high/low was breached (swing filter)
6. VWAP filter passed (if enabled)
7. NY DR bias filter passed (if enabled and confirmed)
8. Past the time gate (if block-before-gate is enabled)
Signals blocked by filters 4–8 are shown as faded X arrows so you can visually audit what the filters are doing.
---
## Notes
- Works best on 1m and 5m charts with the Signal Timeframe set to 30m, 60m, or 240m.
- The indicator uses `max_bars_back=5000` to support longer lookback periods.
- DR boxes and lines use `xloc.bar_time` for precise timestamp-based placement.
- On chart timeframes below 5 minutes, a 5m security request is used for DR calculations to match the original DR/Initial Balance convention.
- All dollar P&L figures are estimates based on your $ Per Point and contract count settings — not a substitute for actual brokerage records. Indicator

Indicator
Range H/L Buy and Sell SignalThe "Range H/L Buy and Sell Signal" indicator is designed to identify potential buy and sell signals based on a specified price range and market volatility. This indicator can be used in the PulseWire platform to assist traders in making informed decisions.
The indicator allows customization of several parameters to adapt to different trading strategies. These parameters include the start and end times for the price range, the volatility threshold, and the desired breakout conditions.
To begin, the indicator calculates the range start and end timestamps based on the provided hours and minutes. This defines the time period within which the indicator will analyze price movements.
Next, the indicator determines the highest high (High) and lowest low (Low) within the specified price range. These levels represent the upper and lower boundaries of the range and act as potential breakout points.
Volatility is also taken into account to filter out false signals. The indicator calculates the true range and the average true range over a period of 14 bars. The true range measures the price range from the current high to low, while the average true range provides an indication of market volatility.
Based on the breakout conditions and the volatility threshold, buy and sell signals are generated. A buy signal occurs when the closing price crosses above the High and the true range is greater than the volatility threshold multiplied by the average true range. Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the closing price crosses below the Low and the true range exceeds the volatility threshold multiplied by the average true range.
The indicator visually displays the High and Low levels as plotted lines on the chart. Additionally, it marks the buy signals with green labels labeled "BUY" below the corresponding bars and the sell signals with red labels labeled "SELL" above the bars.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators for comprehensive market analysis. Trading always carries risks, and it is crucial to exercise caution and conduct thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

DR/IDR Candles [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays defining ranges (DR) and implied defining ranges (IDR) constructed from two user set sessions (RDR/ODR) as graphical candles on the chart. The script introduces additional graphical elements to the original DR/IDR concept and as such can be thought as a graphical method in addition to a technical indicator.
Additionally, this script can display various Fibonacci retracements from the constructed DR/IDR if enabled within the settings.
Settings
Regular Session: Enable/disable regular session's DR/IDR alongside setting the session time. By default, 09:30 - 10:30 am.
Overnight Session: Enable/disable overnight session's DR/IDR alongside setting the session time. By default, 03:00 - 04:00 am.
UTC Offset: UTC offset for the time zone, by default -5 (EST)
Retracements
Reverse: Inverts source range upper/lower value for constructing the retracements.
From: Source range used to construct the retracements, by default DR is used.
By default, the 0.5 retracement (average line) is displayed.
Usage
The used sessions are highlighted by a gray background. DRs are highlighted by dashed lines while IDRs are highlighted by solid ones. The maximum/minimum price between each user set session is highlighted by solid wicks.
The color of the DRs/IDRs/wicks are determined by the price position relative to the DR; if price is above the DR maximum, then a blue color is used. If price is below, then an orange color is used, and if price is within the DR range, then a gray color is used.
Additionally, the area of the DR range is used to highlight the number of time price is located within the DR, with a longer background highlighting a higher number of occurrences. This can help highlight if the DR levels were potentially useful as support/resistance.
When price is outside the IDR range, the area between the price and IDR is highlighted, in blue if price is above the IDR, and orange if it is under.
The original author of the DR/IDR concept describes 3 rules using the price position relative to the DR/IDR levels:
1.) If price on the 5-minute timeframe closes above the DR high after 10:30 AM or 04:00 AM then the DR low will likely be the low of the trading session.
2.) If price on the 5-minute timeframe closes below the DR low after 10:30 AM or 04:00 AM then the DR high will likely be the high of the trading session.
3.) If price closes above the IDR high after 10:30 AM or 04:00 AM it is an early indication that the low of the DR will be the low of the day and vice versa.
We can see that the above rules are cases of conditional probabilities.
There is no significant data supporting or regarding any statistical probability of the above rules to be true, which are more than uncertain given the stochastic nature of prices. The lack of precision of these rules is also a concern (time zone dependance, applicable markets, etc...).

DR/IDR of Omega by TRSTNThis is an EXPERIMENTAL Script by @TRSTNGLRD derived from the coding of @IAmMas7er's "DR/IDR" Indicator that adds a total of 11 additional DR / IDR Ranges on both lower and higher timeframes.
This script is no-longer being worked on, so I have made it public.
Background:
This Script utilizes the Fibonacci-Doubling Sequence between the range of 18:30pm and 16:55pm NY-Time. Each Cycle is grouped into the following:
Omega/2, Omega/4, Omega/8, and Omega/16
The Mas7er's three original sessions are: Omega/4v1, Omega/4v2, and Omega/8v1
These three Sessions above take rule over all others. If you are looking to back-test this version of the script, please use the Experimental ranges as confirmation for the three above.
Important Notes:
- Please only select Sessions with their respected groups (All of Omega/4, All of Omega/16, etc...) rather than selecting all of them at once.
If you select all of them at once, the ranges will not be correct and cut each other off.
The only exceptions to this rule are the Mas7er's original ranges above.
- If you wish to have multiple groups of Ranges together, please add a second indicator to your chart.
- Omega/16v1 and Omega/16v6 are known to have a high-probability of a Judas Swing (takes out both sides of the range) - Be Cautious!
- Omega/2v1 is a very large DR / IDR range. I am working on shrinking it in size, but have more experimenting to do with different ranges.
- I do not use the experimental ranges with the IDR , only the DR . I have not been able to define probabilities fully yet, but the levels are respected nonetheless.
This script is not supposed to work EXACTLY like the Mas7er's, rather, generally instead.
Please comment and leave your opinion below about which ranges work the best and how you may utilize them.
Thank you! Indicator
