NEXUS Three professional modules. One unified indicator.🌐 WHAT IS NEXUS?
NEXUS combines three independent professional-grade
modules into a single, clean indicator — eliminating
the need to stack multiple scripts on your chart.
- MODULE 1 — Market Sessions Visualizer
- MODULE 2 — Volume–Price Divergence Detector
- MODULE 3 — Key Levels & Structural Reference Engine
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MODULE 1 — MARKET SESSIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Visualize the four major Forex/Futures trading sessions
with precision and full customization.
★ Sessions covered:
· Tokyo (default: 00:00–09:00 UTC)
· London (default: 07:00–16:00 UTC)
· New York (default: 13:00–22:00 UTC)
· Sydney (default: 21:00–06:00 UTC)
★ Display modes:

MODULE 2 — VOLUME–PRICE DIVERGENCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Identifies moments when volume surges significantly
but price barely moves — a classic footprint of
institutional accumulation or distribution.

· Volume spike threshold: configurable (default 600%)
· Price change measured via 3 selectable methods:
— Body / Open
— Body / Range
— Range / Open
· Shadow detection with adjustable body-to-wick ratio
★ Visual aids:

(Gray → Yellow → Orange → Red)
· On-chart signal shapes with text labels
· Live info table (top-left):
current volume · volume % change · price % change
body/range ratio · current signal status

EdgeHunter Levels & SweepsEdgeHunter Levels + Sweeps is a multi-timeframe reference level tracker that draws the key highs and lows traders use for context, monitors each level for sweeps in real time using 1-minute resolution, tracks whether a higher timeframe close has reclaimed back inside a swept level, and fires alerts at each stage. All levels, sweep states, and reclaim status are summarised in a live on-chart table.
Levels Tracked
The indicator draws and monitors the following levels simultaneously:
Previous Day High and Low — sourced from the daily timeframe, updated each new session
Previous 1-Hour High and Low — sourced from the 60-minute timeframe, updated each new hour
Previous 4-Hour High and Low — sourced from the 4-hour timeframe, updated each new 4-hour close
Asia Session High and Low — built from a configurable Asia session window (default 20:00–00:00 NY time)
London Session High and Low — built from a configurable London session window (default 02:00–05:00 NY time)
Midnight Open — the opening price of the 00:00 candle in the configured timezone, tracked as a reference level for the trading day
Previous Day Volume Profile Levels — manually entered VAH, VAL, and POC from an external volume profile tool
Each level is drawn from its originating bar and extends forward until swept, at which point the line stops extending and its style switches to dotted to visually indicate it has been taken.
Sweep Detection
All sweep detection runs internally against 1-minute data, regardless of the timeframe the chart is set to. A level is marked swept the moment any 1-minute bar's high crosses above a high level or low crosses below a low level. This ensures sweeps are caught without waiting for a higher timeframe candle to close.
Reclaim Tracking
After a level is swept, the indicator continues monitoring whether price has closed back inside — on a user-selected higher timeframe (configurable, e.g., 1-hour). Each level carries one of three states at any time: Unswept, Outside (swept and the HTF close confirmed outside), or Inside (swept and the HTF close confirmed back inside the level). This reclaim state is what many traders consider confirmation that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine directional break.
Status Table
A live table displays every tracked level with its name, current sweep status (SWEPT / UNSWEPT), and current close status relative to the chosen HTF. The table background colour changes to indicate swept levels at a glance. The table position, text size, and colour scheme are fully configurable.
Label Anti-Stacking
When multiple levels are close together in price, labels are automatically staggered vertically to prevent overlap. A configurable minimum separation and step size control how aggressively labels are pushed apart. This keeps the chart readable even when session highs and lows cluster in a narrow range.
Alerts
Three categories of alerts are available:
Level Swept (1m) — fires when any tracked level is crossed using 1-minute precision, naming the level and price
HTF Closed Inside — fires when a previously swept level is reclaimed on the chosen HTF close, indicating a potential false break
VP Level Touch — fires when price touches the manually entered VAH, VAL, or POC, on a per-level or combined basis
All alerts use once per bar close to prevent repeated firing and include the level name and price in the message. Indicator
Pymander's EZ Key LevelsHey everyone! Pymander here. I’m excited to share EZ Key Levels, a tool I built to solve one of the biggest problems we face as intraday traders: chart clutter.
We all know that "levels are king," but when your screen is a spiderweb of Daily, Weekly, and Session lines, it’s easy to get lost in the noise. This indicator is designed to give you total clarity so you can focus on execution.
What is EZ Key Levels?
At its core, this is a hybrid indicator. It combines High Timeframe (HTF) logic with Machine Learning (K-Means Clustering) to map out the most important psychological and volume-based zones on your chart.
How It Works & Why It’s Different:
Solid Until Mitigated: This is the real game-changer. Every level starts as a solid line (meaning it's fresh and untested). The moment price "mitigates" it—either by a wick touch or a candle close—the line automatically turns dotted. You’ll never have to guess if a level is still "fresh" again.
Volume-Weighted Clustering: Instead of just looking at where price sat, our dynamic clusters use VWAP logic to find where the most volume actually traded. It identifies the true "Value Areas" of the last few days.
Premium Proximity & Focus Mode: Most indicators show you everything at once. EZ Key Levels identifies the 4 levels closest to price and highlights them in Rose (Above) and Emerald (Below). Turn on Focus Mode, and every other line disappears, leaving you with a clean, "pro-style" chart that only shows what matters right now.
All-In-One Session Logic: It automatically tracks Asia, London, and NY session highs/lows and projects them infinitely so you can see how those ranges act as support or resistance days later.
How This Helps You:
This tool is built for the 3-5 minute trader who needs to make split-second decisions. By identifying high-confluence zones (where a V-Cluster lines up with a PDH or Session Low) and highlighting them automatically, it removes the "analysis paralysis" that kills so many trades.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you have any feedback or ideas on how to make this even better for your workflow, please let me know.
Wishing you all the best of luck and many, many green days!

Daily Trade Plan Generator [AGPro Series]Daily Trade Plan Generator
Daily Trade Plan Generator — complete morning briefing tool that generates a structured, rules-based trade plan for every new trading day. Combines key levels, multi-timeframe bias, projected volatility range, and adaptive Plan A/B/C playbooks into one premium dashboard.
🔷 OVERVIEW
Most traders start their day scattered — flipping through charts, trying to remember yesterday's highs and lows, guessing where the market might move. Daily Trade Plan Generator replaces that chaos with a single structured briefing. Every new trading day (either at UTC midnight for crypto or at a configurable exchange session open), the script automatically generates a complete plan: where the key levels are, which direction has the stronger multi-timeframe bias, how wide the day is likely to trade, and what the Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C playbooks look like. It is the first tool to open every morning — and it is self-updating, so you never have to reset it.
This is not a signal generator and not a strategy. It is a briefing tool, designed for traders who want to start every session with the same structured preparation a professional desk would do — without spending 30 minutes on it manually.
🎯 UNIQUE EDGE
What separates this script from generic level indicators and daily-high-low plotters:
• All-in-one daily briefing — levels, bias, volatility, and Plan A/B/C in one dashboard, not four separate indicators cluttering the chart.
• Multi-timeframe bias score (0 to 100) blending 1H, 4H, Daily, and Weekly EMA structure with three configurable weighting modes (Fast, Balanced, Conservative) so the bias matches your trading style.
• Asset-class-aware round numbers — the script auto-detects price magnitude and picks sensible round-number intervals (1000 for BTC-scale assets, 0.01 for forex majors, and so on) without manual setup.
• Projected daily range as a visual zone — ATR-based expected high and low rendered either as a semi-transparent rectangle, dashed lines, or both, giving you an immediate read on where price is likely to operate.
• Plan A / Plan B / Plan C structure (user-configurable 1 to 3) — deliberate "Plan" terminology to avoid confusion with pivot S/R notation. Plan language uses historical-pattern framing with no forecasting claims.
• Two refresh anchors plus a "both visible" option — crypto traders get UTC midnight, equities/futures traders get configurable session open, swing traders can see both markers.
• Timeframe-adaptive behavior — on weekly and higher timeframes, PDH/PDL automatically hide (since "previous day" is not meaningful there), and Plan A/B references shift to PWH/PWL for consistency.
• Smart label collision avoidance — PROJ HI/LO, PDH/PDL, and PWH/PWL labels intelligently reposition when too close together, keeping every chart readable at any scale.
• Volatility regime classification (Low / Normal / High) with a context-aware risk note that adapts to market conditions.
🧩 METHODOLOGY
LEVELS. Previous Day High/Low and Previous Week High/Low are pulled via higher-timeframe requests and rendered as persistent lines extending from today's session open to the right. The nearest round number is drawn as a single dotted line on the chart; the full list of nearby round numbers is shown in the dashboard panel to keep the chart clean.
BIAS SCORE. For each timeframe (1H, 4H, 1D, 1W), three components are evaluated: fast EMA versus slow EMA relationship, close versus fast EMA position, and fast EMA slope direction. Each component contributes plus or minus one, averaged to a per-timeframe score between -1 and +1. The four timeframe scores are then combined using the selected weighting mode and normalized to a 0-100 scale. Scores above 65 are labeled Bull, below 35 Bear, and in between Neutral.
VOLATILITY. Daily ATR over the configurable length (default 14) determines the expected range. The range is centered on today's session open and expanded by the Range Multiplier input. ATR as a percentage of open price classifies the regime: below 1% is Low, above 4% is High, in between is Normal.
PLANS. The script composes Plan A (primary, aligned with bias), optionally Plan B (alternative, opposite-side rejection path), and optionally Plan C (range / mean-reversion, activated when volatility is low or bias is neutral). Plan references adapt automatically to chart timeframe — intraday and daily charts use PDH/PDL, weekly and higher charts use PWH/PWL. The language is deliberately conditional and references historical patterns rather than predicting future prices.
🔔 SIGNALS & ALERTS
The script includes five built-in alert conditions:
• New Daily Plan Generated — fires when the daily refresh anchor triggers.
• Price Broke PDH — crossover above Previous Day High.
• Price Broke PDL — crossunder below Previous Day Low.
• Price Exceeded Projected High — crossover above ATR-projected high (volatility expansion).
• Price Exceeded Projected Low — crossunder below ATR-projected low (volatility expansion).
Each alert includes the ticker and relevant price in the message payload, ready to route into any alert handler.
⚙️ KEY INPUTS
• Daily Refresh Anchor — UTC Midnight, Exchange Session, or Both Visible.
• Exchange Session Open Hour — 0 to 23, used when Exchange or Both is selected.
• Key Levels toggles — PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, Round Numbers individually toggleable.
• Round Numbers in panel — 1 to 5 levels above and below the current price.
• Bias Calculation Mode — Fast (HTF-weighted), Balanced, or Conservative (MTF-weighted).
• EMA Fast / Slow periods — defaults 20 and 50.
• ATR Length and Range Multiplier — control the width of the projected daily range.
• Expected Range Visualization — Zone (Box), Dashed Lines, or Both.
• Number of Plans — A, A+B, or A+B+C.
• Panel Location — six corner/middle positions.
• Panel and Label font sizes — Tiny through Huge, default Normal.
• Panel Theme — Dark or Light, adapts to chart background.
🛠️ HOW TO USE
1. Add the script to your chart at the start of each trading day (or leave it on permanently — it refreshes automatically).
2. Read the dashboard panel top to bottom: LEVELS tell you where the battle lines are, BIAS tells you the dominant direction, VOLATILITY tells you how much room the market has, PLANS give you conditional playbooks for the day.
3. Check the "Risk Note" line — it adapts to the volatility regime and bias. Low volatility suggests patience, high volatility suggests reducing size, neutral bias suggests waiting for a clean break.
4. Use the plotted levels as structural references for your own entries and exits. The projected range box highlights where mean-reversion trades are statistically more likely to work.
5. Set alerts on PDH/PDL breaks and projected-range expansion events to get notified when your Plan A or Plan B is being tested.
6. Adjust the bias mode to match your style: intraday scalpers benefit from Fast (HTF-weighted), position traders often prefer Conservative (MTF-weighted).
⚠️ LIMITATIONS & TRANSPARENCY
• This is a briefing tool, not a strategy or signal generator. It does not open, close, or manage trades.
• All levels and plans are derived from historical data (previous day/week highs and lows, ATR, EMA structure). Past structure does not guarantee future behavior.
• Projected ranges are statistical estimates based on ATR — actual daily ranges can and do exceed them, especially during news events or regime shifts.
• The multi-timeframe bias score is a momentum/trend structure measurement, not a prediction. Markets can reverse at any time regardless of bias.
• Plan language uses historical-pattern framing deliberately. No plan is a forecast; it is a conditional reference for discretionary decision-making.
• On weekly and higher timeframes, PDH/PDL are hidden by design because "previous day" is not a meaningful unit for weekly-horizon decisions. Plan A and Plan B use PWH/PWL as reference in those cases.
• The script does not repaint on closed higher-timeframe bars. The daily open, PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL are locked once the respective higher-timeframe bar closes.
• Round-number auto-detection uses price magnitude; for unusual instruments (very high or very low priced), review the levels manually.

Key Levels Pro [AGPro Series]Key Levels Pro
🔑 Overview
Key Levels Pro is a comprehensive, non-repainting level tracker that consolidates every institutionally significant price reference into one clean overlay. Previous day, week, and month highs/lows (PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, PMH, PML) are plotted alongside Asian, London, and New York session highs and lows. Every level is actively monitored — touch count, break count, and respect rate update in real time, giving you a live quality score for each price zone.
Most level scripts stop at drawing lines. Key Levels Pro goes further: lines automatically thicken on repeated touches, switch to dashed style when broken, and fade to muted color to signal invalidation. Zone rectangles extend back to the formation bar of each level, making historical respect visible at a glance. An ATR-aware label collision system keeps the chart readable on every timeframe, and same-price levels are intelligently deduplicated so you never see four overlapping labels at the same price.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📐 Unique Edge
Unlike generic pivot or S/R scripts, Key Levels Pro tracks the behavioral quality of each level — not just its existence. A level that has been tested five times without breaking carries a different weight than a fresh, untested one. Key Levels Pro surfaces that difference automatically through line width, style, and panel data.
What makes it distinct:
🔹 Complete previous-period coverage (PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL, PMH/PML) in one overlay, without redundant current-period duplicates.
🔹 Live session tracking for Asian, London, and New York simultaneously, with automatic hiding on Daily and higher timeframes.
🔹 Per-level touch count, break count, and respect rate computed from actual historical price interaction.
🔹 Dynamic line thickening on repeated touches (width 1 → 2 → 3).
🔹 Auto-broken state with dashed style + muted color — no distracting flags or banners.
🔹 Historical zone boxes extending back to the formation bar of each level.
🔹 ATR-aware label collision resolution that stacks overlapping labels vertically.
🔹 Price-based deduplication: when two levels share the same price, the higher-priority one wins (Monthly > Weekly > Daily > Session).
🔹 ATR-normalized proximity to the nearest level above and below the current price.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔬 Methodology
Previous-period levels are pulled from the daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes using request.security() with lookahead enabled for the completed-period values. This approach is standard, transparent, and non-repainting — historical data does not change.
Session levels are tracked bar by bar using customizable session time inputs. Each session resets at its start time and tracks the running high and low until the session closes. The Asian, London, and New York sessions can each be configured independently.
Touch detection uses an ATR-based tolerance band (default 10% of ATR). When price closes within that tolerance of a level, the touch counter increments. A break is registered when price closes on the opposite side of a level compared to the prior bar. Respect rate is calculated as touches / (touches + breaks) × 100.
Line width scales with touch count: 1 touch = width 1, 2–4 touches = width 2, 5+ touches = width 3. Broken levels switch to dashed style and a muted color.
The label collision system operates in three stages: first, all enabled levels are collected into a sorted array; second, same-price levels are deduplicated based on priority (Monthly highest, Session lowest); third, an upward sweep enforces minimum vertical spacing using a blend of ATR and chart-range heuristics, ensuring labels never overlap regardless of market volatility.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📊 Signals & States
This script is a visualization and data tool — it does not generate buy or sell signals.
Level states are communicated visually:
🔹 Active (solid line, full color): level has not been broken.
🔹 Touched (thicker line, 2–3px): level has been tested one or more times.
🔹 Broken (dashed line, muted slate color): level has been decisively closed through.
Info panel states:
🔹 Session: active market session (Asian / London / New York / Off-Hours / N/A on Daily+).
🔹 Near Above / Near Below: price of the closest active level on each side of the current close.
🔹 Dist Above / Below ATR: distance expressed as a multiple of ATR(14).
🔹 Touch and respect rate data for PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ Key Inputs
Level Groups: Toggle previous day, week, month, and session levels independently.
Session Times: Fully customizable start/end times for Asian, London, and New York sessions in exchange timezone.
Zone Style: Enable/disable S/R zones and adjust zone transparency.
Lines & Labels: Set line extension length, toggle labels, choose label density (All / Reduced / Minimal), set font size, and enable or disable same-price deduplication.
Info Panel: Toggle panel, set location (six positions), and choose theme (Dark / Light).
ATR Settings: Set ATR period and touch tolerance as an ATR multiple (0.02 to 0.50).
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📖 How to Use
1. Add the script to a chart — all major levels appear immediately.
2. Adjust session times if trading non-crypto markets.
3. Watch line thickness: thicker = more tested = stronger historical reaction zone.
4. Dashed + muted color = broken. Treat broken levels as potential new S/R from the opposite side (role reversal).
5. Use the panel's Near Above and Near Below fields to gauge proximity before entry or exit decisions.
6. Use "Reduced" density (default) for cleaner charts, or switch to "All" when you need session context.
7. Works on all asset classes: crypto, forex, equities, indices, commodities.
Recommended timeframes: 15m–4H for session levels; 1H–1D for previous-period levels.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
🔹 Session tracking is session-relative and resets each new session.
🔹 Touch tolerance is an ATR-based heuristic and may need adjustment on extremely low-volatility instruments.
🔹 All data is historical. Touch count and respect rate describe past price behavior, not future outcomes.
🔹 This script is not a trading strategy, does not issue trade signals, and cannot predict market direction.
🔹 On exotic or illiquid instruments with large gaps, formation-bar zone boxes may appear truncated if the level formed outside the chart's visible range.

Level Survival Map [AGPro Series]Level Survival Map
🔹 Overview
Level Survival Map is a premium support and resistance framework that does not just draw lines on the chart. Every detected level carries a live Survival Score between 0 and 100 that answers one simple question: how well is this level still defending itself right now. The map highlights a single Active Level with an interaction zone and a forward projection ribbon, while nearby weaker levels fade, so traders always know which level actually matters for the current decision.
🔸 Unique Edge
Most support and resistance tools either show static pivots or basic break or retest events. Level Survival Map goes further by measuring the quality of every interaction and turning it into a single composite health score per level. Instead of being left with a wall of equally important lines, the trader sees a ranked structural battlefield with one clearly identified Active Level, a visible interaction zone and a projection ribbon for planning. The Damage State readout, the Fresh and Eroded state semantics, the automatic flip from broken support to new resistance and the cluster fade for crowded weaker levels are designed to work together as one premium, low-noise workflow.
🔹 Methodology
Pivot detection builds the raw candidate levels from swing highs and swing lows using the standard pivot window. A merge filter removes duplicates that sit within a configurable ATR distance of an existing same-type level. Each active level then accumulates four independent components over time. Close Respect rewards closes that respect the level side, for example closes above a support. Penetration Damage penalises wicks and bodies that pierce through the level zone. Reaction Quality rewards strong rejection wicks and bodies moving away from the level after a test. Test Fatigue penalises repeated tests because levels tend to weaken with each new hit. These four components are weighted and combined into a single Survival Score, then clamped between 0 and 100. A structural break caps the score at 35, heavy damage across multiple tests caps it at 28, and a confirmed sequence of opposite-side closes flips the level type while resetting its history. The Active Level is chosen as the closest same-side level to price so that the focus always follows the real decision point.
🔸 Signals and Alerts
The visual output itself is the primary signal. Line colour and thickness communicate level strength at a glance. A focused Active Level is drawn with an interaction zone, a darker core band and a forward projection ribbon so that traders can see the exact price band where reaction is most likely, and how far into the future that band is expected to remain relevant. Labels carry the Survival Score directly, so the ranking of levels is always visible without opening any settings. Broken levels switch to a dashed style and faded colour, and once enough opposite-side closes accumulate they flip type automatically, giving a clear visual signature of structural change.
🔹 Key Inputs
Pivot Left Bars and Pivot Right Bars control how strict the swing detection is. Max Active Levels caps how many concurrent levels are tracked. Level Merge Distance and Interaction Zone are expressed in ATR units so the logic adapts across timeframes and instruments. Scoring weights for Close Respect, Penetration Damage, Reaction Quality and Test Fatigue can be tuned independently, together with the fatigue penalty per extra test and the number of closes required to confirm a flip. Visual inputs cover panel position, label size, line width, focus emphasis, non-focus transparency, cluster fade, focus zone width and projection ribbon length and thickness. A Clean Map Mode is provided for screenshot and publishing workflows where only the Active Level and the nearest valid support and resistance are labelled.
🔸 How to Use
Read the map top down. First, look at the summary panel for the Active Level, its Survival Score, Test Count and Damage State. A Fresh or Strong Active Level defending its side is a high-quality decision point. A Fragile or Eroded Active Level with a Severe Damage State is a warning that the next level below or above is likely to take over. Use the projection ribbon as a planning band for reaction rather than a mechanical entry. Use the ranked non-Active labels to understand where price is likely to travel if the Active Level gives way. The tool is designed to be used as a visual framework, in combination with the trader own execution method, trend context and risk management.
🔹 Limitations and Transparency
This indicator is a visual analytical framework, not a strategy, not a signal service and not financial advice. Survival Score, Damage State and flip logic are deterministic functions of price action and ATR, so different markets and timeframes will produce different characteristic score ranges. Pivot based detection is inherently lagging by the Pivot Right Bars window, which is the expected behaviour of any structural tool and not a defect. The Active Level projection ribbon is a visual planning aid, not a forecast. Past level behaviour does not guarantee future behaviour.

Price Memory Heatmap [BullByte]Price Memory Heatmap - Dynamic Support & Resistance Through Market Memory
Price Memory Heatmap visualizes where markets remember. It identifies price levels where repeated reactions have occurred, measures their intensity through a proprietary heat system, and displays them as dynamic zones that strengthen with each new reaction and naturally fade when the market moves on.
This is not a combination of existing indicators. It is a unified analytical framework built around one original concept: price levels accumulate heat from confirmed reactions and lose heat through exponential decay when untouched. The result is a self-organizing, self-cleaning map of historically significant price zones that evolves with every bar.
---
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Price Memory Heatmap tracks price levels where significant market reactions have occurred. Each level is treated as a living entity with memory:
→ Gains heat when price reacts at it (confirmed pivots and wick rejections)
→ Loses heat over time when untouched (exponential decay)
→ Displays visual intensity proportional to accumulated reaction history
→ Gets removed automatically when its heat falls below a minimum threshold
→ Classifies real-time price behavior at each zone (Rejection, Sweep, Break, Retest, Absorption)
The indicator tracks up to 20 memory levels simultaneously and displays only the most significant ones based on heat intensity and reaction count. Zones are color-coded from cool (low activity) to hot (high activity), giving instant visual hierarchy of level importance.

→ Heat-mapped zones showing historical reaction intensity
→ Classification labels (Developing, Active, Strong, Dominant)
→ Hit count showing total confirmed reactions at each level
→ Relative volume multiplier showing conviction behind reactions
→ Level age tracking (Fresh, Seasoned, Veteran)
→ Real-time behavior detection integrated into zone labels
→ Summary dashboard ranking all active levels by heat

WHY THIS INDICATOR EXISTS
Traditional support and resistance tools draw static lines. They cannot tell you whether a level was tested once or ten times, whether reactions were backed by strong volume or weak, whether the level was formed yesterday or months ago, or how price is currently interacting with that level.
Price Memory Heatmap addresses each of these gaps through a single cohesive system:
PROBLEM: "Is this level significant?"
→ SOLUTION: Heat intensity and classification tier tell you immediately. A Dominant zone with 8 hits is far more significant than a Developing zone with 2 hits.
PROBLEM: "Was there conviction behind reactions at this level?"
→ SOLUTION: Relative volume multiplier shows whether reactions attracted above-average volume (e.g., 2.3x means 2.3 times the average bar volume).
PROBLEM: "Is this level still relevant?"
→ SOLUTION: Exponential decay naturally fades untouched levels. If the market has forgotten a level, the indicator forgets it too.
PROBLEM: "How is price interacting with this level right now?"
→ SOLUTION: Real-time behavior detection classifies the current interaction as Rejection, Sweep, Break, Retest, or Absorption.
PROBLEM: "How old is this level?"
→ SOLUTION: Age tracking categorizes each level as Fresh (recently formed), Seasoned (survived multiple decay cycles), or Veteran (persistent structural significance).

HOW PRICE MEMORY WORKS
The lifecycle of a memory level:
BIRTH - A confirmed pivot swing (high or low) creates a new memory level, or merges into a nearby existing level if one exists within the merge distance.
REINFORCEMENT - Each subsequent reaction at the level adds heat. Reactions with above-average volume add proportionally more heat. The level's price adjusts as a weighted average of all reactions.
DECAY - Every bar without a reaction, the level's heat is multiplied by the decay rate (default 0.992). This creates a natural half-life where untouched levels gradually lose prominence.
DEATH - When heat falls below the death threshold (default 0.08), the level is permanently removed. This keeps the chart clean and focused on relevant levels.
The heat value drives everything:
→ Zone color intensity (hotter = more prominent visual)
→ Classification tier (Dominant, Strong, Active, Developing)
→ Dashboard ranking (sorted by heat, hottest first)
→ Glow effect intensity (stronger glow on high-heat zones near price)
Additionally, wick rejections are detected as secondary reaction sources. When a candle wicks into an existing level and rejects (closes away), it adds heat at half the rate of a confirmed pivot, preventing over-weighting of intrabar noise while still capturing meaningful reactions.
---
WHY THIS IS NOT A MASHUP
This indicator uses pivot detection, ATR, and volume data internally, but it does not combine or display existing indicators. The distinction is fundamental:
A mashup displays independent indicators together on one chart.
This indicator uses standard calculations as INPUT MECHANISMS feeding a completely original processing engine whose output cannot be replicated by any combination of existing tools.
→ Pivots = Detection mechanism only (identifies where reactions occur)
→ ATR = Scaling parameter only (normalizes distances across any asset)
→ Volume = Weighting modifier only (amplifies high-conviction reactions)
→ Heat Accumulation + Decay = ORIGINAL (no existing indicator does this)
→ Dynamic Level Lifecycle = ORIGINAL (birth, reinforce, decay, death)
→ Behavior Detection at Levels = ORIGINAL (classifies interaction patterns)
No component is displayed independently. Everything feeds the central price memory concept.

HOW TO READ THE ZONES
ZONE COLORS (Dark Theme - default):
→ Purple/Blue tones = Low heat, Developing level (fewer reactions)
→ Red tones = Medium heat, Active or Strong level
→ Orange/Yellow/Gold tones = High heat, Dominant level (many confirmed reactions)
ZONE COLORS (Light Theme):
→ Gray/Steel tones = Low heat
→ Red/Dark Red tones = Medium to high heat
ZONE COLORS (Classic S/R Theme):
→ Green = Level currently acting as support (price above the zone)
→ Red = Level currently acting as resistance (price below the zone)
ZONE THICKNESS:
Zones expand slightly as heat increases and pulse larger when price approaches (proximity effect). The glow effect adds a soft outer halo that intensifies on high-heat levels near current price, providing immediate visual emphasis on the most important nearby zones.
ZONE LIFESPAN:
Each zone extends from its birth bar to a configurable number of bars into the future (default 15). This visual extension is purely for display - it helps identify where zones project ahead of price. Older zones with maintained heat indicate structural levels where the market has shown persistent memory.
---
HOW TO READ THE LABELS
Each visible zone displays a label with key information. The label format depends on the selected Label Mode. When behavior is detected, it is appended to the end of the label.
MINIMAL MODE EXAMPLE:
"STR 5 2.3x SEA REJ↑"
→ STR = Classification (Strong)
→ 5 = Hit count (5 confirmed reactions)
→ 2.3x = Relative volume (2.3 times average per reaction)
→ SEA = Age (Seasoned - 50 to 200 bars old)
→ REJ↑ = Current behavior (Bullish Rejection detected)
STANDARD MODE EXAMPLE:
"Strong | 5 hits | 2.3x | SEA | Rejection ↑"
→ Full classification name
→ Hit count with label
→ Relative volume multiplier
→ Age abbreviation
→ Full behavior name with direction
DETAILED MODE EXAMPLE:
"Strong | Resistance | 5 | 2.3x | 1.2345 | Seasoned | Sweep ↓"
→ Classification
→ Current support/resistance status
→ Hit count
→ Relative volume
→ Exact price
→ Full age name
→ Full behavior name
LARGE MODE:
Same information as Standard but rendered in larger text for visibility.
When no behavior is currently detected, the behavior portion is simply omitted from the label.
CLASSIFICATION TIERS:
→ Developing = Heat below 40% of max OR fewer than 3 hits
→ Active = Heat above 40% AND 3 or more hits
→ Strong = Heat above 60% AND 4 or more hits
→ Dominant = Heat above 80% AND 5 or more hits
AGE CATEGORIES:
→ Fresh (NEW) = Less than 50 bars since first detection
→ Seasoned (SEA) = Between 50 and 200 bars old
→ Veteran (VET) = More than 200 bars old
A Veteran level with high heat indicates deep structural significance - a price where the market has reacted repeatedly over an extended period and continues to hold relevance.
RELATIVE VOLUME EXPLAINED:
The volume shown is NOT raw volume. It is a normalized multiplier showing how much volume reactions attracted compared to the average bar:
→ 1.0x = Average volume at reactions
→ 2.0x or higher = Above-average conviction behind reactions
→ Below 0.5x = Below-average conviction
→ "-" = Volume data unavailable for this asset
Volume is calculated using attributed notional value: only the fraction of bar volume proportional to the zone width is counted, preventing large-range bars from inflating readings.
---
HOW TO READ THE DASHBOARD
The dashboard provides a ranked summary of all active memory levels. It appears as a table overlay on the chart (position configurable).
COLUMN-BY-COLUMN:
# → Rank by heat intensity. An asterisk (*) marks the highest-heat level. Numbers rank the rest.
PRICE → The exact price of the memory level, formatted to the asset's tick precision. This is the weighted-average price across all reactions at this level.
CLASS → Classification tier (Developing, Active, Strong, Dominant). In Classic S/R theme, a suffix "S" (Support) or "R" (Resistance) is appended based on whether price is above or below the level.
HEAT → Visual heat bar using 8 segments.
→ "||||||||" = Maximum heat (hottest level)
→ "||||...." = Moderate heat
→ "|......." = Low heat (may decay out soon)
HITS → Total number of confirmed reactions at this level. This includes both pivot-confirmed reactions and qualified wick rejections.
RVOL → Relative volume multiplier averaged across all reactions at this level. Higher values indicate stronger volume conviction behind the reactions that built this level.
STATUS → A dynamic field showing one of three things:
→ Behavior pattern name if currently detected (e.g., "REJ↑", "SWP↓", "BRK↑")
→ "At level" if price is within 0.15% of the zone (highlighted in green)
→ Distance as percentage if price is away (e.g., "1.25% above")
AGE → How long the level has existed (NEW, SEA, VET).
FOOTER → Shows total memory levels being tracked, how many are currently visible, and the current decay rate setting.
---
BEHAVIOR DETECTION
When price approaches a memory zone, the indicator analyzes real-time price action to classify how the market is interacting with that level. The detected behavior is displayed as part of the zone label and in the dashboard STATUS column.
Behaviors are checked in priority order. Only the highest-priority match is displayed.
BREAK (Highest Priority):
→ Price opens on one side of the zone and closes decisively on the other
→ Requires strong body (more than 50% of candle range)
→ Close direction must match candle direction (bullish close for Break ↑)
→ Indicates the level has failed and may flip from support to resistance or vice versa
→ Once a Break is detected, the level is marked internally so future Retest detection becomes possible
SWEEP:
→ Price extends significantly beyond the zone (1.5x zone height past the edge) then reverses
→ The extended wick must be larger than the body and more than 35% of total range
→ Close must be back near or inside the zone
→ This pattern often represents a liquidity grab - price pushes through to trigger stops then reverses
REJECTION:
→ A prominent wick touches or enters the zone, and the body closes away
→ Wick must exceed 45% of the candle's total range
→ Body must have meaningful size (more than 25% of range) confirming conviction
→ Indicates the level is actively defending - buyers or sellers are stepping in
RETEST:
→ Price returns to a level that was previously broken
→ Requires all lookback bars to have been on one side (away from zone)
→ Current bar must touch the zone
→ This is the classic "support becomes resistance" or "resistance becomes support" confirmation
ABSORPTION (Lowest Priority):
→ Multiple consecutive bars with bodies inside the zone
→ Average body size is small relative to average range (less than 45%)
→ Indicates accumulation or distribution is occurring within the zone
→ Often precedes significant directional moves
Behaviors persist in the label until a new behavior is detected. When price moves away from the zone, the last detected behavior remains visible, giving context about the most recent significant interaction.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1 - IDENTIFYING HIGH-PROBABILITY REACTION ZONES:
A Dominant-classified zone (gold/yellow) showing 7 or more hits with Veteran age tells you this is a deeply embedded structural level. The market has reacted here many times over hundreds of bars and the level continues to maintain high heat. When price approaches this zone, the probability of a meaningful reaction is elevated compared to a Developing zone with 2 hits.
EXAMPLE 2 - CONFIRMING A BREAKOUT:
Price approaches a Strong resistance zone. The label updates to show "Break ↑" as price closes decisively above. The dashboard STATUS column changes from "0.5% below" to "BRK↑". If price later returns to this zone and the label shows "Retest ↑", this confirms the classic resistance-to-support flip pattern. The zone's wasBroken flag ensures Retest detection only activates after a confirmed Break.
EXAMPLE 3 - SPOTTING LIQUIDITY SWEEPS:
A high-heat zone sits above price. Price spikes through the zone with a long upper wick but closes back inside or below. The label displays "Sweep ↓" indicating a potential stop-hunt pattern. The wick exceeded 1.5 times the zone height beyond its edge and the upper wick dominated the candle's body - both requirements for Sweep classification.
EXAMPLE 4 - READING VOLUME CONVICTION:
Two zones appear near current price. Zone A shows "2.8x" relative volume while Zone B shows "0.6x". The reactions that built Zone A attracted nearly 3 times the average bar volume, suggesting strong institutional interest. Zone B's reactions occurred on below-average volume, suggesting less conviction. This context helps prioritize which zone is more likely to produce a meaningful reaction.
EXAMPLE 5 - USING LEVEL AGE FOR CONTEXT:
A Veteran level (more than 200 bars old) that still maintains high heat has survived hundreds of decay cycles. Each cycle multiplies its heat by 0.992 (default). After 200 bars of decay without any new reactions, heat would fall to roughly 20% of its peak. For a Veteran level to remain Dominant, it must have received consistent reinforcement over time - indicating genuine structural significance rather than a one-time event.
---
Chart Example
1. Price on the S&P 500 E-mini Futures 15-minute chart is consolidating within a tight range between two heavily-tested Veteran zones, with the gold Dominant level acting as a persistent floor and an orange 22-hit Veteran zone overhead cycling through live behaviors as price repeatedly tests it from below. A structured ladder of purple Developing and red Active zones extends well below current price, with a Retest ↓ pattern visible at a mid-range level indicating a previously broken area is now being revisited from above. The dashboard confirms 17 memory levels tracked with 8 visible, the top-ranked Dominant zone holding a full heat bar and Break ↑ in its STATUS column throughout the session.
2. Price on the Nifty 50 Index 5-minute chart surged strongly through a cluster of high-heat gold zones during the session, reaching a peak at a thin Developing resistance level before pulling back sharply into a contested area between a Dominant zone and a Strong zone sitting just below it. The upper region shows two gold/yellow zones in close proximity - a Dominant and a Strong, both with Sweep behaviors active in their labels, indicating a liquidity grab above followed by a sharp reversal back into the zone cluster. The dashboard shows two Dominant-classified levels in the top two ranks, with a rich mix of Veteran and Seasoned ages confirming this price area carries deep structural memory.

ALERTS
Three alert conditions are available:
"Price entered hot zone" - Triggers when price enters a high-heat zone with 3 or more hits and heat above 50% of maximum. Useful for monitoring approaches to significant levels.
"New behavior detected" - Triggers when a new behavior pattern (Rejection, Sweep, Break, Retest, Absorption) is classified at any visible level. Useful for real-time event notification.
"New reaction" - Triggers when a new pivot is confirmed. Useful for tracking all reaction events across all levels.
All alerts describe observed events. They do not predict future price movement or generate buy/sell signals.
---
IMPORTANT NOTES
RETROACTIVE ANCHORING:
Pivot-based levels are confirmed after the Pivot Sensitivity number of bars have passed. The level is drawn at the true swing bar but only becomes known after confirmation. This is standard pivot behavior used across all pivot-based indicators and does not constitute future data usage.
VOLUME DATA AVAILABILITY:
Some assets, particularly certain forex pairs, may not report volume data. When volume is unavailable, relative volume displays show "-" and volume weighting is automatically disabled. The indicator functions fully without volume data.
EARLY CHART BEHAVIOR:
Zones and behavior labels may be sparse early in chart history. The indicator needs sufficient bars to detect pivots, accumulate heat, and meet the minimum hit count. Allow at least 100 bars for the system to populate meaningfully.
PERFORMANCE:
Reaction dots (when enabled) are only rendered within the most recent 500 bars to maintain chart performance. All memory calculations remain unaffected regardless of dot visibility.

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.

Contrarian 100 MAPairs nicely with Enhanced-Stock-Ticker-with-50MA-vs-200MA located here:
Description
The Contrarian 100 MA is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders seeking to identify key market structure shifts and trend reversals using a combination of a 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) envelope and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) logic. By overlaying a semi-transparent SMA-based shadow on the price chart and plotting bullish and bearish structure signals, this indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and potential trend changes. It leverages higher timeframe (HTF) pivot points and dynamic logic to adapt to various chart timeframes, making it ideal for swing and contrarian trading strategies. Customizable colors, timeframes, and alert conditions enhance its versatility for manual and automated trading setups.
Key Features
SMA Envelope: Plots a 100-period SMA for high and low prices, creating a semi-transparent (50% opacity) purple shadow to highlight the price range and provide context for price movements.
ICT BoS/MSS Logic: Identifies Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals for both bullish and bearish conditions, based on HTF pivot points.
Dynamic Timeframe Support: Adjusts pivot detection based on user-selected HTF (default: 1D) and chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D), ensuring adaptability across markets.
Visual Signals: Draws dotted lines for BoS (bullish/bearish) and MSS (bullish/bearish) signals at pivot levels, with customizable colors for easy identification.
Contrarian Approach: Signals potential reversals by combining SMA context with ICT structure breaks, ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend shifts.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals, enabling integration with PulseWire’s alert system for automated trading.
Performance Optimization: Uses efficient pivot detection and line management to minimize resource usage while maintaining accuracy.
Technical Details
SMA Calculation:
Computes 100-period SMAs for high (smaHigh) and low (smaLow) prices.
Plots invisible SMAs (fully transparent) and fills the area between them with 50% transparent purple for visual context.
Pivot Detection:
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify HTF swing points, with dynamic lookback periods (rlBars: 5 for daily, 2 for intraday).
Tracks pivot highs (pH, nPh) and lows (pL, nPl) using a custom piv type for price and time.
BoS/MSS Logic:
Bullish BoS: Triggered when price breaks above a pivot high in a bullish trend, drawing a line at the pivot level.
Bearish BoS: Triggered when price breaks below a pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot high in a bearish trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Bearish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot low in a bullish trend.
Lines are drawn using line.new with xloc.bar_time for precise alignment, styled as dotted with customizable colors.
HTF Integration: Fetches HTF close prices and pivot data using request.security with lookahead_on for accurate signal timing.
Line Management: Maintains an array of lines (lin), removing outdated lines when new MSS signals occur to keep the chart clean.
Pivot Reset: Clears broken pivots (e.g., when price exceeds a pivot high or falls below a pivot low) to ensure fresh signal generation.
