Openingrange

30s OR Multiple Fibs 30s OR Multiple Fibs is a futures opening-range indicator built around the first 30-second candle of the New York RTH session. The script defines the 30-second RTH opening range and uses that range as the basis for configurable extension levels above and below the market. It is intended for traders who use short opening ranges as intraday reference points for expansion, support/resistance, measured moves, or volatility-based targets. The indicator supports three independently configurable extension levels. Each target can be enabled or disabled and assigned its own percentage, color, line style, and width. For example, traders can use common Fibonacci-style extensions such as: 100% 261.8% 423.6% Each configured target automatically plots a corresponding level above and below the RTH opening range. Optional labels display both the extension and the exact price level, for example: +261.8% (29963.50) -261.8% (29661.00) Label position, vertical placement, and font size can be controlled globally. The script also includes configurable lines for the actual 30-second RTH OR High and Low, including their own color, line style, width, and price labels. The RTH midpoint is shown separately as an additional reference. The underlying session framework also includes Globex and European opening-range references, allowing the RTH structure to be viewed in the context of the broader futures session. Features: New York RTH opening range based on the first 30-second candle RTH OR High, Low, and midpoint Three independent extension targets Automatic upper and lower levels for each target Individual visibility, percentage, color, style, and width controls Extension + price labels Configurable label location and font size Configurable RTH OR High/Low appearance and labels Globex and European opening-range references Designed primarily for intraday futures charts The extension values are fully user-configurable, so the indicator can be adapted to standard Fibonacci levels or any other opening-range multiples a trader prefers. This is a visualization and reference tool only. Levels are calculated mechanically from the opening range and do not imply that price will necessarily react at any particular level. Credit: Based on the original 30 Second Futures Session Open Range concept by SamRecio and inspired by PulseWire user @Emmonspired, with additional multi-target extension and display functionality added.

ORB AI [PickMyTrade]ORB AI asks a question most opening-range tools skip: does this breakout resemble the chart's own past breakouts that worked, or the ones that didn't? Instead of firing on a single range-break condition, every qualified breakout is scored across seven independent structural factors, then cross-checked against an on-chart K-nearest-neighbour library built exclusively from this symbol's own resolved breakout outcomes. Both numbers are shown — the rule score and the KNN vote — without either one silently deciding the trade for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔷 WHAT IT MEASURES 🔸 Opening Range The range locks from a configurable session anchor — Exchange Session (the symbol's own listed timezone), New York 09:30, New York 08:30 (data), London 08:00, Tokyo 09:00, or a Custom session/timezone pair — over a configurable window (1–120 minutes). If the chart timeframe is coarser than the chosen window, the range automatically expands to one full bar and the dashboard notes the effective duration rather than silently misrepresenting it. 🔸 Rule Confidence (7-factor score) Every qualified breakout candidate is scored 0–100 across Trend, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, Structure, Breakout Quality and Liquidity. Trend itself is a blend (35% EMA alignment, 25% ADX, 25% higher-timeframe read, 15% slope) — the dashboard breaks out all seven components individually so the score is never a black box. 🔸 Flow Marks — BO / RT / FBO / Sweep BO tags the confirmed breakout bar. RT tags a retest of the broken range edge that holds (with a running count). FBO tags a breakout that closed back inside the range — a false breakout, not a win or loss judgement. Sweep tags a wick that pierced the range edge and closed back inside — liquidity taken without a directional close. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔷 THE KNN ENGINE (LORENTZIAN DISTANCE) 🔸 How the library is built Every rule-qualified breakout gets a 6-feature fingerprint (trend, momentum, volume, volatility, structure, breakout quality). Its outcome is then resolved forward, stop checked first: 1R target reached before the stop = win, stop first = loss, neither within the configurable outcome window (15–600 minutes) = discarded as undecided — drifts are never counted as losses, so the base rate reflects only decisive breakouts. Every qualified candidate is recorded regardless of outcome, so the library grows without selection bias. 🔸 How a new candidate is voted A new candidate is compared to the stored library (up to 300 records) by Lorentzian distance. The K nearest historical analogues (3–15, default 5) vote, and the vote share is shown on the signal label and dashboard. 🔸 Advisory vs. Gate Advisory mode (default) displays the vote as context; it never blocks a signal, so the set of signalling bars stays fully deterministic regardless of library state. Gate mode (opt-in) also requires the vote to clear a minimum share before a signal fires — this trades determinism for selectivity and is only meaningful once the library has grown past a configurable minimum size. 🔸 Read honestly With a 6-feature fingerprint, the nearest neighbours of a few-hundred-record library span roughly half of each feature's range — the vote is a coarse regional tendency, not a precise analogue match. Loading a different amount of chart history can change the displayed vote (Advisory) or which candidates pass (Gate); this is inherent to on-chart instance-based learning and is disclosed rather than hidden. The indicator requires a symbol with volume data — volume-less feeds (some cash indices / spot FX) cannot render the KNN engine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔷 SIGNALS AND DISPLAY 🔸 Dashboard A compact table shows Session, Regime, ML Engine status (library size / warm-up state), locked Range, Bias, the 7-factor Rule Confidence bar, Risk-per-Unit, the active Trade Plan, and a Flow Marks legend. An optional Full mode expands all seven score components. 🔸 Trade Plan overlay On a qualified signal the indicator draws an entry, stop, and take-profit levels using one of three configurable methods: a fixed R ladder, an opening-range-width measured-move projection, or an ATR-scaled EMA-dynamic trail. This is a reference overlay describing one rules-based way to structure the trade *if* you choose to take it — it is not a recommendation, and the levels are not a performance claim. 🔸 Non-repainting Signals evaluate on confirmed closes only. Locked range levels never change once set. Higher-timeframe reads use ` ` plus `lookahead_off`. The KNN library is built strictly from already-resolved past outcomes — no future data is read at any point. 🔸 Alerts 19 `alertcondition()` calls cover long/short entries, false breakouts (combined and per-direction), confidence-threshold crosses, range completion, trend-context changes, take-profit and stop touches (combined and per-level), reversals, session-end exits, approaching-breakout warnings, retests, and sweeps above/below the range. Recommended alert setting: *Once Per Bar Close*. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔷 INPUTS 🔸 Opening Range — Session anchor, custom session/timezone, range length (minutes). 🔸 Signal Engine — Minimum Rule Confidence threshold, TP method (R Ladder / OR Width Projection / Dynamic EMA), R-ladder multiples, wide-range-OR filter. 🔸 KNN · ML Engine — Mode (Advisory / Gate / Off), K neighbours, history length, minimum ML vote (Gate only), outcome window (minutes), Gate minimum library size. 🔸 Filters — Signal Blackout window (session-anchor timezone), max signals per session, news filter. 🔸 Visual — Bull/bear colours, dashboard position and detail level, Zen mode (hides text labels, keeps shapes/zones only). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔷 REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS Requires a symbol with volume data — the KNN engine cannot render on volume-less feeds (some cash indices, spot FX). The KNN vote is a coarse regional tendency drawn from a finite on-chart library, not a precise analogue match or a probability estimate; it is advisory by default for that reason. Loading a different amount of chart history changes the displayed vote in Advisory mode, and can change which candidates pass in Gate mode — this is inherent to on-chart instance-based learning and is disclosed rather than hidden. This is a decision-support toolkit: it does not place trades, and no element of the dashboard, score, or trade-plan overlay is a claim about future performance. Always apply independent risk management. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built natively in Pine Script® v6. Seven-factor rule-based confluence scoring with an on-chart, self-learning KNN engine using Lorentzian distance over resolved breakout outcomes — no external libraries, no repainting, no lookahead.

Anchor rails - session levels and event countdown [AuraSznfx]Most intraday trading is organized around a handful of scheduled clock times — the London open, the 8:30 and 10:00 data releases, the cash open, the end of the first hour, the 2:00 policy release. This script makes that schedule visible on the chart instead of tracked in your head, and pairs it with the price levels that formed before each one. There are many scripts that draw session highs and lows. What this one adds is the clock layer on top of them: a countdown to the next scheduled anchor, a phase read-out describing where the current bar sits relative to that anchor, a configurable window marked either side of it, and a running count of how many of the day's tracked levels have already been taken. WHAT IT DRAWS Five session ranges: overnight, London, premarket, opening range, and first hour. Each window's start and end time is a session input you can change, so the defaults are a starting point rather than a rule. While a window is open the script tracks its running high and low and shows them as a box. When the window closes, the box is deleted and replaced by two horizontal lines fixed at the final high and low, extended forward a configurable number of bars. Yesterday's high, low and close, pulled from the daily timeframe with lookahead disabled. An optional midpoint is available. HOW THE LEVEL-TAKEN LOGIC WORKS Once a range is locked, each of its two lines is watched independently. The high is marked taken the first time a bar's high exceeds it. The low is marked taken the first time a bar's low falls below it. Detection is one-way and permanent for the session — a level does not un-take itself if price returns. When a level is taken you can have it dim to a configurable transparency, dim and switch its label to a marked state, or delete outright. That choice is a style preference; the underlying state is tracked the same way regardless. Note the deliberate limitation: detection uses the bar's high and low, so on a live bar a level can register as taken and then the bar can close back inside the range. If you want confirmed-close behavior instead, use a higher timeframe or wait for the bar to close before acting on the alert. HOW THE ANCHOR CLOCK WORKS You enable whichever of the nine preset times you care about, plus one custom hour and minute of your own. Every one is read in the timezone you select at the top of the settings. On each bar the script builds a timestamp for every enabled anchor on the current date, then finds the nearest one ahead of the current bar close and the nearest one behind it. From those two distances it produces four outputs in the panel: Time to the next anchor, formatted as a countdown. A progress bar filling over the final 30 minutes before it. A phase label, resolved in this priority order: inside the post-anchor window, within 15 minutes after, inside the pre-anchor window, inside 10 minutes, inside 30 minutes, otherwise standby. A taken count out of the ten tracked level lines. If every enabled anchor for the day has passed, the countdown rolls to the earliest one on the following day. The event window is the pre and post minute values you set. When the current bar falls inside it, the chart is optionally tinted, and an alert can fire once as it begins. Nothing about this window predicts direction. It marks that a scheduled release is close, which is information you would otherwise be checking a calendar for. HOW TO USE IT Set your timezone first; everything else reads from it. Adjust the five session windows to the instrument you trade — the defaults are built around US index futures on New York time and will not suit an FX or crypto session structure without changes. Then switch off the anchor times that aren't relevant to your market. The levels show where price has already been tested. The clock shows when the next scheduled event arrives. What you do with either is your decision — this script issues no buy or sell signals and takes no view on direction. ALERTS Two alert condition entries are provided, for any level taken and for the event window opening, usable from the standard alert dialog. Individual per-level alerts fire through the alert() function on bar close. Payloads can be sent as plain text or as structured JSON for webhook use, toggled in the settings. NOTES AND LIMITATIONS Written in Pine v6. Locked levels do not repaint. A range only becomes lines after its window has closed, and those values never change afterward. The daily request uses lookahead_off. No future data is accessed anywhere in the script. The phase labels describe clock position only. They are not signals and carry no expectation of what price will do. The script has no view on direction and produces no entry or exit signals. It is a context tool. On very low timeframes the drawing limits of 500 lines, boxes and labels can be reached over a long history. Reduce the extend-right value or switch off sessions you do not need.

AlgoStorm Institutional Session Structure (ISS)AlgoStorm Institutional Session Structure (ISS) A complete intraday auction-structure engine that maps global session boxes (Asia, London, New York), the Globex overnight range, the Initial Balance with day-type extension targets, the Opening Range, and an automated overnight-inventory classification of the RTH open — directly onto your intraday charts. The AlgoStorm Institutional Session Structure (ISS) indicator is designed for index futures and intraday traders who read the market through the auction lens: where overnight inventory built, whether the open printed inside or outside that inventory, whether the Initial Balance is containing rotation or the day is extending toward trend, and which session built the reference high or low everyone now trades against. It answers those questions structurally instead of drawing decorative boxes. TIMEFRAME REQUIREMENT — READ BEFORE LOADING This is an intraday tool. It refuses to run on 1D charts and above, and the chart timeframe should stay at or below the Opening Range length (the Opening Range and Initial Balance locks resolve at bar granularity). All session windows are DST-aware through a configurable IANA timezone, defaulting to New York time. Technical Architecture: Fixed-Pool Session Engine Session-structure indicators commonly rebuild their drawings on every bar, bloating chart performance and churning objects. ISS uses a different execution model: Per-Session Box Engines: Each session runs its own tracking engine with a private box history. The active box updates its high/low boundary in place as the session develops; boxes older than the history cap (default five days, configurable to twenty) are evicted automatically. Time-Window Lock Pipeline: The overnight range, Initial Balance, and Opening Range each accumulate in staging registers, then lock permanently the moment their window closes — the overnight at the RTH open, the IB and OR when their configurable minute-windows complete. Locked levels cannot move for the rest of the day. Extension Mathematics: Extension targets use the classic day-type formula, extension(m) = IB low + m × IB range above the market and IB high − m × IB range below it, with 1.5× and 2.0× defaults. A 1.5× tag means price has traveled 150% of the IB range from the opposite IB boundary. Zero-Churn Drawing Pool: Every level line and label is created exactly once at initialization and repositioned in place afterward. No per-bar create/delete cycles, no garbage-collection artifacts. Label Anti-Overlap Engine: Right-edge labels (ON, IB, extensions, OR) are sorted by price each bar and automatically spaced apart whenever two or more sit within a configurable minimum gap (default 0.05% of price). Level lines always stay locked to the true price — only the label text position shifts to stay readable. On by default; fully optional. Confirmed-Bar Alert Gate: Every alert condition is gated on confirmed bar closes inside RTH. Nothing repaints, and no alert can fire intra-bar and then vanish. Features & Functionality Session Boxes: Asia, London, and New York boxes with running high/low, dotted session-open line, and session label. Defaults cover the full sessions (18:00–03:00, 03:00–09:30, 09:30–16:00 New York time); killzone-style alternatives are documented in the input tooltips. Overnight Range Lock: Globex high/low accumulated through the overnight window and held through the trading day — the reference frame for gap and inventory reads. Initial Balance + Extension Targets: First 60 minutes of RTH (configurable 15–120) with configurable extension multiples for day-type classification: containment inside the IB, 1.5× tests, or 2× trend extension. Opening Range: First 15 minutes of RTH (configurable 1–60) — the breakout reference for the open drive. Overnight Inventory Read: At the RTH open, the engine classifies the print: above the ON high, upper half of the ON range, lower half, or below the ON low — the gap-risk context before the first rotation completes. Session State Table: Active session, ON high/low, open-vs-ON classification, IB range (shows "forming…" while building, then the locked H/L) with a separate breakout status (inside IB vs. breakout ▲/▼), OR range and status, and which IB extensions have been tested — the whole auction state in one glance. Alert Suite: Eight conditions — Opening Range breakout up/down, Initial Balance breakout up/down, overnight high/low break, and upper/lower reach of the second IB extension multiple (default 2.0×, trend-day behavior). The first multiple (default 1.5×) is tracked live in the state table but does not carry its own alert. Honest limitations: ISS is structural context, not a signal system — no entries, no exits, no arrows . Intraday levels draw for the current day only by design; historical context comes from the session boxes. If you also run our Institutional Key Levels (IKL) script, keep IKL's Initial Balance, Opening Range, and Overnight toggles off so nothing double-plots — ISS is the time-anchored view, IKL is the right-edge level strip.

Opening Range Breakout Engine - Session Range Signals aDESCRIPTION: RANGE BREAKOUT PRO is a complete range-breakout trading engine: it detects tradeable ranges from confirmed swing pivots, fires BUY and SELL signals when price breaks out in the direction of the trend, and then manages every trade on the chart with entry, stop loss, take profit, break-even and trailing logic - all fully visualized and fully automatable via webhook alerts. HOW THE ENGINE WORKS 1. RANGE DETECTION - Confirmed swing highs and swing lows (pivot length configurable) become the active RANGE HIGH and RANGE LOW. Each extreme is marked on the chart with a dot and a vertical marker line. A range must be wide enough (minimum height in ATR) and fresh enough (maximum age in bars) to be tradeable - micro-ranges and stale levels are skipped automatically. 2. BREAKOUT SIGNAL - A signal fires only when a candle CLOSES beyond the range extreme plus an ATR buffer (no wick fake-outs), the gradient trend ribbon points in the breakout direction, the trend strength score clears your Buy/Sell Strength threshold, the breakout is not overextended (max distance from the ribbon in ATR - no chasing exhausted moves), and an optional cooldown after a losing trade has expired. Optional MTF Agreement requires the 15-minute trend to confirm. 3. TRADE MANAGEMENT - Every signal is managed like a real trade, live on the chart: - TP1 (partial target) banks the win early and moves the stop to break-even - the remainder runs to the full R-multiple take profit or a chandelier trail - green TP box and red SL box grow bar by bar from the entry, exactly like a position tool - price tags at the right edge show Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit and live Profit/Loss % - every closed trade is marked with a tick (win), circle (break-even) or cross (loss) 4. TWO TRADE MODES - "TP/SL Mode" (fixed targets, split TP1 + runner) or "Trailing Mode" (no fixed target, the trail line is the moving stop). THE COCKPIT PANEL - MARKET OVERVIEW: multi-timeframe trend dashboard - live trend strength meters for the chart timeframe, 15m, 1H, 4H and 1D - SIGNAL SETUP: entry system, MTF agreement, current signal (Long / Flat / Short), Buy/Sell strength thresholds, trend filter state, trade mode, active Take Profit and Stop Loss levels - PERFORMANCE: asset, exchange, timeframe, total trades and live win rate calculated from every signal on the chart history - no cherry picking, the counter runs over everything the engine fired Win rate accounting is transparent: a trade counts as WIN when TP1 is banked, as LOSS when the initial stop is hit first, and break-even exits are tracked separately - the same split-target accounting professional scalpers use. WHY-EXPLANATIONS ON THE CHART Every BUY/SELL pill carries a tooltip that explains WHY the signal fired: which range level broke, the trend strength at the trigger, entry, stop and target prices. Range dots explain the level they mark. Nothing is a black box. WEBHOOK AUTOMATION Create one alert with condition "Any alert() function call" and paste your webhook URL. The indicator sends ready-to-use JSON for every event: BUY, SELL, TP_HIT, SL_HIT, TRAIL_EXIT, BE_EXIT - including symbol, price, stop, target, trade mode, win rate and timeframe. Connect it to any bridge or bot and the strategy runs hands-free. WORKS ON Any symbol and timeframe: indices (NASDAQ, S&P, DAX), gold and forex, crypto, stocks. Scalping on 1-5 minute charts, day trading on 15m-1H, swing trading on 4H-Daily. Defaults are tuned for intraday breakout scalping. DISCLAIMER This indicator is a technical analysis tool, not financial advice. Past win rates do not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account first and manage your risk. WHY THESE PARTS BELONG TOGETHER An opening range on its own produces a break in both directions on most days. The session filter and the range-quality measurement exist to decide which of those breaks is tradeable: the session defines when the range is allowed to form, and the quality measurement rejects ranges that are too wide or too thin to hold. The breakout level is only meaningful once both have passed.

ES ORB 15min RTH ES Opening Range Breakout is a straightforward intraday strategy built around breaks of the first 30-minute regular-session range. This is not one of my main private systems, but it is a simple concept I wanted to release as open source for traders to test, modify, and give feedback on. It takes a maximum of one trade per day and uses fixed target, stop, and end-of-day exit rules.

Zero Noise Opening Range Pure structure. Zero noise. The opening range, outlined. Nothing else. What it does Sessions: New York (09:30 ET), London (08:00 UK), Asia (09:00 Tokyo) — one, all three, or a custom open time and timezone. Each session is tracked independently. Range length: the first 5m, 15m, 30m, or 1h of the open, or a custom length. Extend Until: Break Confirmation (default) freezes the range when a candle of your confirmation timeframe (1m–30m) closes outside it. Closed candles only — wicks don't count, nothing repaints. Session End runs the range to the close regardless of breaks. Every range ends at its market's close (NY 16:00 ET, London 16:30 UK, Tokyo 15:30 JST). Broken ranges grey out (optional), so live levels stay obvious. Works on any intraday chart up to 1h. Above the range length, the range is rebuilt from 1-minute data for exact alignment. What it doesn't do No signals, no alerts, no arrows. An opening range is context. The trade is yours. Settings Session: New York / London / Asia (Tokyo) / All 3 / Custom (default: All 3) Opening range: 5m / 15m / 30m / 1h / custom minutes Break confirmation candle: 1m to 30m (default 5m) Midline, fill, grey-out, tags, days kept, watermark — all optional Futures, stocks, and FX. A notice panel flags any invalid setting. For informational and educational purposes only — not financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss; past performance does not guarantee future results.

ORB Opening Range I EonMetrics ORB - Opening Range ORB marks the opening range — the high and low of the first minutes of a session — and tracks what price does with it for the rest of the day: breakouts by closing price, failed breakouts that snap back inside, and extension levels projected from the range height. The last few days stay on the chart so you can judge at a glance how your instrument actually behaves around its open. 🔶 HOW IT WORKS From the session open (New York 09:30 by default) the script records the high and low of the first X minutes — 5 to 60, you choose. When the window closes, the range is frozen: a box marks the window, and the high/low lines extend forward until the next session begins. The first candle that CLOSES outside the range tags the breakout; a close back inside within your chosen number of bars tags it as FAILED and re-arms the day. 🔶 WHY THE OPENING RANGE MATTERS The first minutes of a session concentrate the reactions to everything that accumulated while the market was closed or quiet: overnight news, opening auctions, the first institutional orders of the day. The range those minutes carve out is the day's first agreed-upon value area. That is the reasoning behind the concept, and it is why the tool also tags a move that closes back inside the range rather than only tagging the escape — the two outcomes describe different sessions. Worth stating plainly: this is the rationale for the concept, not evidence that it works. Whether your instrument respects its opening range is an empirical question about that instrument, and the History setting exists so you can answer it with your own eyes before relying on anything here. 🔶 WHAT IT DOES Opening range — box over the window (5/15/30/45/60 min), frozen high/low lines extended through the session. Session presets: New York 09:30, London 08:00, Tokyo 09:00, or a fully custom open time with its own timezone (DST handled by the timezone database, not by fixed offsets). Extension levels — optional lines at ±0.5×, ±1×, ±1.5× and ±2× the range height, projected above the high and below the low. These are reference levels for reading how far a move has traveled relative to the range — the script does not call them targets, because they are not. Breakout status — evaluated on closing prices only, never on wicks. First close above the high tags ORB ▲, first close below the low tags ORB ▼. A close back inside the range within K bars tags FAIL and re-arms the day, so a later genuine breakout can still be tagged. History — the last D days of ranges stay on the chart (configurable). Scrolling back through a week of your own instrument is the fastest way to see whether its opening range is worth watching at all. 🔶 ALERTS Four alert conditions: opening range set, breakout above, breakout below, failed breakout. 🔶 HOW TO USE 1. Pick the session that matches your market — NY 09:30 for US indices and metals, London 08:00 for European hours, or a custom time. 2. Pick the window length. 15 and 30 minutes are the classic choices; shorter = earlier levels, noisier range. 3. Watch the first close outside the range — and read a quick close back inside (the FAIL tag) as a description of that session, not as noise to ignore. 4. Set the four alerts and stop watching the open candle by candle. 🔶 SETTINGS Session (preset / custom time + timezone, range length) · Levels & Breakout (extension multiples, failed-breakout window, days of history) · Style (colors, box fill). 🔶 HONEST LIMITATIONS The opening-range concept assumes a session with a real open — indices, metals, forex sessions. On 24/7 crypto a "session open" is a convention: the tool works there mechanically, but the premise behind it is weaker, and you should know that before trading around it. The chart timeframe must be at or below the window length (a 30-minute range cannot be built from hourly bars — the indicator stays empty rather than guessing). This tool draws levels and states facts about closes; it does not generate signals or targets. Part of the EonMetrics toolset.

Opening Range Breakout ORB - Signals, Targets & Alerts [LunqFX]The Opening Range Breakout (ORB) is one of the most traded intraday strategies — but most ORB indicators only draw the opening range box and leave you guessing. This Opening Range Breakout indicator goes further: it marks the opening range, detects the first genuine breakout, filters fakeouts, projects measured-move targets, and — uniquely — builds a live breakout statistics engine from the last 100 trading days of the symbol on your chart. What makes this ORB indicator different Instead of a static box, you get a data-driven read on how your market actually behaves after the opening range: First-break direction split — how often the day breaks up vs down Hold rate — how often the first breakout direction holds into the close Fakeout rate — how often the first breakout fails back inside the range Target hit rates — how often price reaches 1x and 2x the opening-range height So before you take the trade you can see, for example, that on this symbol the upside breakout holds into the close 62% of the time and the 1R target is reached on 48% of breakout days. How the opening range breakout is calculated Auto mode works on every market with zero setup. The opening range starts at each day's open of the symbol's own exchange — stocks at the 09:30 session open, crypto at the 00:00 UTC daily open, forex and futures at their session open — and lasts a chosen number of minutes (the classic 5-minute, 15-minute or 30-minute ORB). A Custom mode lets you define any session window, such as the London or New York open. When the opening-range window closes, the range high and low are locked and projected forward as levels. The first candle close beyond the range (or wick, if you prefer) is treated as the breakout. Targets are projected at 1x and 2x the range height in the breakout direction. A close back inside the range before the first target is reached is flagged as a fakeout. A breakout that reaches 1R first and only then returns is counted as a valid breakout, not a fakeout. At the end of each trading day the outcome is recorded — direction, hold, fakeout, targets — and the dashboard percentages are plain rolling hit rates. No repainting, no curve fitting. How to use it Breakout day trading: trade the first breakout with more context — use the hold rate to judge whether the break on your symbol is worth taking, and size your target from the 1R / 2R hit rates. Fakeout fade: when a symbol shows a high fakeout rate, the failed breakout back inside the range is often the better setup; the fakeout is marked in real time. Range-quality filter: the dashboard shows the opening range as a multiple of ATR, so you can skip abnormally small ranges that tend to break out randomly. Works on any symbol and any intraday timeframe (1m–15m recommended): index futures and CFDs (NAS100, SPX500, US30, NQ, ES), stocks and ETFs (SPY, QQQ), gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin and crypto, and forex majors. Dashboard A clean on-chart panel shows today's live status (building range → inside range → breakout → target hit or fakeout), the opening-range high/low and its size in ATR, and the full statistics block with the sample size always visible. Settings Auto anchor (any market, zero setup) or fully custom session window with timezone control — 5 / 15 / 30-minute ORB or any session open Close-based or wick-based breakout logic Adjustable target multiples, rolling statistics window, and visuals Alerts for range locked, breakout up, breakout down, fakeout, target 1 and target 2 Optional gradient momentum candles that can be switched off No repainting The opening range is fixed the moment its window closes. Breakouts, fakeouts and targets are confirmed on closed bars only, and the statistics are built exclusively from completed trading days — never recalculated backwards. This indicator is an educational market-analysis tool, not financial advice. Historical statistics describe past behavior and are not a guarantee of future results. Always confirm with your own analysis and manage your risk.

Futures Sessions with NY Opening Range, Levels, FVGs, & Holidays This is a session-anchored intraday framework for futures. Every element on the chart is derived from the same session definitions, so the tools stay consistent with each other: the sessions paint the ranges, the completed ranges leave behind levels, the level lifecycle is tied to the session clock, the NY Opening Range anchors the morning, fair value gaps give context inside the ranges, and holiday markers explain the days when sessions are missing or shortened. Session Ranges Each market session is defined using IANA names (America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo) – never fixed UTC offsets. The indicator renders identically no matter what timezone your chart is set to (Exchange, New York, etc). Daylight saving is handled automatically: New York flips between EST and EDT on its own, and Tokyo has no DST, so its position against the New York clock simply shifts with the US clock changes (Tokyo's 9:00 open lands at 20:00 New York in summer, 19:00 in winter). Each session is a shaded fill: Asia in red, London in yellow, New York in blue as defaults. NY Pre-Open: a dotted range tracks the morning trade from the ORB open at 8:00 America/New_York until the session fill starts at 9:30. It is derived from the ORB input, so moving the ORB moves it too. Globex Open: the CME futures trading day opens at 18:00 America/New_York (17:00 Chicago), indicated by the pre-open dotted range before the session fill starts at Tokyo open when volume comes in. New York Opening Range (ORB) The ORB captures the range of the America/New_York 8:00–8:15 candle, shown as a box with a dashed midline in maroon. It is visible on all smaller timeframes and up to 1h. The ORB ends on the last candle of the New York session — the end time is derived from the NY session input, so the two can never drift apart. If the ORB range is oversized (18 or more points, configurable), the box is flagged with a red "ORB INVALID" label and shows the range in points. Sessions Levels (Untested Highs and Lows) When a session completes, its final highs (black) and lows (teal) are drawn from the candle and extend to the right indefinitely until a level is tested on its first touch. You can configure whether a test means a wick touch (ICT/liquidity style, the default) or a candle close beyond the level (support/resistance style). Tested levels stay on the chart until the session running at the time of the test ends, so you can use them as points of reference until then. During the London/NY overlap, New York counts as the running session. A level tested during a session gap survives the gap and is handed to the next session that opens. At the NY ORB open at 8:00, all tested levels are removed to prevent clutter. Untested levels never expire. You can toggle the prices on the price scale on or off based on preference. Fair Value Gaps Classic three-candle imbalances in both directions: bullish when a candle's low is above the high from two candles back, bearish when a candle's high is below the low from two candles back. Gaps are shaded in green (by default, configurable) from the middle candle and extend to the right until price trades fully through it (bullish: a low at or below the gap bottom; bearish: a high at or above the gap top), then it is removed. Each gap can draw its Consequent Encroachment — a dashed line at the 50% of the gap, the level where a gap is commonly considered mitigated. Inputs: fill color, CE toggle and color, minimum gap size in points (useful on low timeframes), and a cap on how many gaps are kept. Holiday Markers US (NYSE) holidays: a dotted vertical line and a Statue of Liberty marker anchored to the ORB's first candle. Detection is fully rule-based — weekday-observance rules for every holiday, and Good Friday computed from the Easter algorithm (Butcher's computus), so nothing is hardcoded and no yearly maintenance is needed. Note: NYSE does not observe New Year's on the prior Friday when January 1 falls on a Saturday, and holidays observed on a Friday/Monday (like July 4 on a weekend) are marked on the actual closure day. Japanese holidays: a dotted vertical line and a shrine marker anchored to the Tokyo session's first candle. Covers the fixed-date holidays, the Happy Monday holidays, both equinox holidays (astronomical formulas, valid through 2150), Monday substitute holidays, the occasional Silver Week citizens' holiday, and the TSE year-end closures (Dec 31, Jan 2, Jan 3). Markers sit at the bottom of the pane. Days when CME is fully closed have no bars, so there is nothing to mark — markers appear on holidays with shortened or normal trading. Alert One built-in alert condition: Tokyo Range Break — fires when price closes outside the completed Tokyo session range, active from the Tokyo close until 11:30 New York time. How to Use Built for intraday charts of 1h and below (it draws nothing on higher timeframes). The ORB needs a 15-minute chart or lower to line up with whole candles. Defaults are tuned for CME index futures (ES/MES); the session inputs work on any symbol with continuous futures-style hours. Old drawings persist until Pine's 500-object limits trim the oldest. These tools are combined because each one feeds the next: the sessions define the ranges, the completed ranges produce the levels, the level lifecycle runs on the session clock and the ORB open, the pre-open dotted ranges share the same derived timings, and the holiday markers explain the days when the rest of the framework is dark. Changing one session input moves everything that depends on it, consistently.

ORB Engine | ANONYCRYPTOUS ORB Engine | Anonycryptous Description & user manual Why this indicator is different The opening range is one of the most studied concepts in intraday trading, and for good reason. The first fifteen minutes after a major session opens concentrates the most institutional activity of the day. Breakouts from that range, followed by a retest of the level, are among the most statistically consistent setups available on lower timeframes. The problem is execution. Most opening range tools stop at the box. They draw a high and low, and leave the trader to figure out the rest: when to trade, how to confirm direction, where the liquidity sits, how to time the entry. That gap between the concept and a usable trade is where most ORB approaches fall apart in practice. The ORB Engine closes that gap. It does not just draw a box. It tracks the full sequence from formation through confirmation through entry, enforces a discipline around when trades are allowed, maps the session liquidity levels that the price is most likely to target or react from, and scores each setup against five confluence criteria before a signal fires. The result is a complete framework for opening range trading that works across instruments and timeframes. Important notice The ORB Engine generates visual states based on price structure, volume confirmation, session timing, and liquidity context. These states are not financial advice. They do not predict future price movement. They do not guarantee profitability. All trading decisions are made entirely by the user. Always manage your own risk. Always apply your own judgment. 1. Overview The ORB Engine is an overlay indicator that combines opening range detection, breakout confirmation, three entry modes, session liquidity mapping, and a five-point confluence scoring system into a single framework. It is designed for intraday scalping and day trading on any instrument and any timeframe below one hour. What it includes: - Opening range box (configurable start and end times) with high, low, and midpoint lines - Wait period enforcement that blocks entries until the active window opens - Master toggle to disable the wait period entirely for pure ORB breakout use - Volume-confirmed breakout detection, active as soon as the box closes - Three entry modes: midpoint retest, breakout retest, and immediate - Stop loss and take profit lines (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) drawn on entry - Trade close detection: dashboard and background reset when stop or final target is hit - Session liquidity engine with live (dotted) and locked (solid) levels for Asia, London, and NY sessions - Previous session levels with automatic P. prefix labeling - Vertical session boundary lines at each session open and close - Five-point confluence score shown in the dashboard - Status background coloring: red during wait period, green after entry fires - Full timezone support: all time inputs in the user's chosen UTC offset - Dashboard with all live trade and session context - Nine alert conditions 2. Core concepts 2.1 The opening range box The box captures the high and low of a configurable time window at the start of the active trading session. The default is the first fifteen minutes of the New York session (14:00-14:15 Amsterdam / 08:00-08:15 New York), which concentrates the most institutional activity of the intraday day. The box is drawn as soon as it closes, with a solid high line, a solid low line, and a dotted midpoint line that extends as the session progresses. The box range is shown in the dashboard. A narrow box suggests tight price discovery. A wide box suggests early volatility and may require a wider stop if trading it directly. 2.2 The wait period Breakouts in the first sixty to ninety minutes after a major open are frequently false. Institutional players test liquidity in both directions before committing. The wait period blocks entries from firing until a configurable time, defaulting to 15:30 Amsterdam / 09:30 New York, when the first significant volume wave of the day typically confirms direction. Critically, breakout direction is still tracked during the wait period. If price breaks above the box high at 14:30 and the wait ends at 15:30, the system already knows the direction is bullish when the active window opens. The entry trigger then watches for the configured retest from that point, without waiting for a new breakout signal. The wait period can be disabled entirely with the master toggle. With it off, the entry triggers are active immediately after the box closes, which is useful for strategies that do not rely on the NY open timing. 2.3 Entry modes Three entry modes cover the main ways traders approach ORB setups. Midpoint retest: the most conservative mode. After a confirmed breakout, the indicator waits for price to pull back to the box midpoint, close on the correct side of it, and then fires the entry signal. This mode is best when the session shows clear reversion behavior after the initial breakout impulse. Breakout retest: waits for price to retest the box boundary itself (high for a bull breakout, low for a bear breakout) after the initial breakout bar, and fires on a candle that touches the level and closes on the breakout side. This mode suits trending sessions where price breaks cleanly, pulls back briefly to the level, and then continues. Immediate: fires directly on the confirmed breakout candle. If the breakout happened during the wait period, the entry fires on the first bar of the active window. This is the most aggressive mode and is appropriate when the trader expects strong directional continuation without a pullback. 2.4 Breakout confirmation A breakout is not registered on a close outside the box alone. The breakout candle's volume must exceed the average volume by a configurable multiplier (default 1.3x). This filters breakouts driven by thin participation, which are more likely to fail on the retest. The volume average and multiplier are both adjustable. 2.5 Stop loss and take profit The stop loss is placed beyond the opposite side of the box, with a small ATR-based buffer. The buffer multiplier is configurable, allowing tighter or wider placement depending on the instrument and timeframe. Take profit targets are calculated at 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 risk-to-reward ratios from the entry level, each toggleable independently. All active levels are drawn as dashed lines from the entry bar and labeled on the chart. The dashboard shows the price levels for active targets. When the stop is hit or the final active take profit is reached, the dashboard resets to a neutral state. The chart lines remain as a visual record. 2.6 Retest timeout The retest modes have a configurable bar-count timeout. If price does not return to the required level within that number of bars after the active window opens (or after the breakout, if the wait period is off), the setup expires. The dashboard shows the expired state. The default is 100 bars, which on a 1-minute chart is 100 minutes and on a 5-minute chart is roughly eight hours, so adjust this per timeframe and strategy. 3. Session liquidity engine 3.1 Why session levels matter Price does not move randomly between sessions. The high and low of the Asia, London, and NY sessions represent pools of resting orders: stops clustered above highs, stops clustered below lows. These are the levels institutional flow targets first. A breakout above the ORB box that is also pushing toward an untested session high is a very different proposition from a breakout into empty space. The ORB Engine maps these levels automatically and keeps them visible across the session, so the confluence between the ORB setup and the nearest liquidity pool is always visible at a glance. 3.2 Live and locked levels While a session is in progress, the indicator draws dotted lines for the developing high and low. These lines update in real time as new extremes are set within the window. If price sweeps through what was the high at 03:00 before London has closed, the dotted line moves up immediately, reflecting the new developing high. This prevents the missed sweep problem where a level was set early and then exceeded without the chart updating. When a session closes, the dotted lines are replaced by solid locked lines. These represent the final confirmed high and low of that session. 3.3 Tested and untested levels Once a session closes, its levels are tracked for mitigation. If price returns to a locked level and wicks through it, the level is marked as tested by fading to a configurable transparency. It does not disappear. Tested levels can act as re-entry points or warn that a previous pool has been cleared. The untested level count in the dashboard tells you how many unmitigated levels are still active on the chart. 3.4 Previous session levels When a new session begins, the previous session's locked levels are relabeled with a P. prefix (e.g., P.Asia.H, P.NY.L) immediately at the start of the new session, not when it closes. This makes it immediately clear which levels are current and which are historical. The show previous day toggle controls whether one additional day of locked levels is retained alongside today's. 3.5 Vertical session lines Vertical lines mark the open and close of each session window in the session's color. Style (solid or dotted) and width are configurable. The lines appear only for the current day and are cleaned up automatically at the next session start. 4. Confluence score The dashboard shows a five-point confluence score for the current setup, displayed as a bar-style meter (▰▰▰▱▱) with the numeric value alongside. The five criteria are: 1. Box formed: the opening range has closed and the high, low, and midpoint are locked. 2. Volume confirmed: the breakout candle exceeded the volume threshold. 3. Liquidity bias consistent: the breakout direction aligns with the nearest untested session level in that direction (e.g., a bull breakout with an untested high above is a stronger setup than a bull breakout with no untested level overhead). 4. Retest within time: the entry fired before the timeout expired. 5. Risk-to-reward viable: the stop distance is within a configurable multiple of the box range, confirming the setup is not overextended. A score of 3 or above indicates a setup where multiple factors are confirming each other. A score of 1 or 2 means fewer criteria are met and the setup carries more uncertainty. The score updates live. 5. Timezone and session configuration All time inputs in the ORB Engine are entered in the user's own timezone. Set your UTC offset once in the Timezone group at the top of the settings, and then enter box start, box end, active window start, session end, and all session liquidity windows in your local clock time. The indicator converts everything to New York time internally. The dashboard shows a live local clock (Now), the box and active window times in your timezone (Box / Active), and the current UTC offset in the row label so the conversion is always visible. This design means users in Amsterdam, Dubai, Singapore, or New York all configure the same indicator the same way, in the time they think in, without manually calculating offsets. 6. Status background coloring The chart background changes state with the setup: - No background: before the box forms, or after the session ends. - Red tint: the box has formed and the wait period is active. Entries are blocked. - Green tint: an entry has fired and the trade is active. The background colors, their transparency, and whether they are shown at all are individually configurable. The default transparency is high enough to not obscure the candles. 7. Dashboard reference The dashboard updates on every bar and shows: Box Status - forming, formed, or —. Box Range - the distance between the box high and low in ticks. Wait Status - waiting with remaining minutes, active, disabled, or —. Breakout - bull, bear, or none. Entry Mode - the currently selected entry mode. Midpoint Retest / Breakout Retest / Entry Trigger - the retest status: waiting, fired, expired, or —. Entry - long, short, or —. Confluence Score - the five-point bar meter and numeric value. TP Levels - price levels for each active take profit target, or — if no trade is open. Session / Untested - the current session name and the count of untested liquidity levels. Now (UTC offset) - the current local clock time in the configured timezone. Box / Active - the box window and active window start times in local time. 8. Alerts Nine alert conditions are available: - Bull breakout: a volume-confirmed close above the box high. - Bear breakout: a volume-confirmed close below the box low. - Long entry signal: a long entry trigger has fired. - Short entry signal: a short entry trigger has fired. - Long stop loss hit: the long trade stop has been reached. - Short stop loss hit: the short trade stop has been reached. - Long final TP hit: the long trade reached the final active take profit. - Short final TP hit: the short trade reached the final active take profit. - Near untested liquidity level: price is within a configurable ATR distance of an untested session level. 9. How to use 9.1 Basic workflow Set your timezone. Enter the box and session times in your local clock. The wait period defaults to the New York 09:30 open equivalent in your timezone, which is when the most reliable ORB confirmations historically occur. Let the box form. The dashboard shows the forming state during the box window and transitions to formed when it closes. The box range gives you an immediate read on how much price discovery happened. Observe the breakout. The system detects breakouts as soon as the box closes, even during the wait period. The dashboard shows the breakout direction and a dot appears on the breakout candle. With the wait period on, the background turns red and entries are blocked. Wait for the active window. When the wait period ends, the background stays neutral and the entry trigger activates. Depending on the entry mode, it is now watching for a midpoint touch, a boundary retest, or it already fired immediately at the open of the active window. Check the score. A confluence score of 3 or above with a clean entry signal in the context of a nearby untested session level is the strongest combination the system can produce. 9.2 Entry mode selection Use midpoint retest on sessions that show clear pullback behavior after the initial breakout impulse. Use breakout retest on sessions that trend strongly but pause briefly at the broken level before continuing. Use immediate when price is moving fast and a retest is unlikely, or when you want to be positioned as early as possible in the active window. 9.3 Session levels as context Before entering any signal, check which session levels are nearby. An entry directly into an untested opposite-side level is likely to stall or reverse at that level. An entry away from all untested levels, in the direction of the next unmitigated pool, is a cleaner setup. The dashboard untested count and the live chart lines give you this context without any additional tools. 9.4 Illustrative bull scenario Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation. The opening range forms between 14:00 and 14:15 with a 20-point range. At 14:35, a candle closes above the box high on 1.6 times average volume. The breakout is confirmed as bull, and the wait period background turns red. At 15:30 the active window opens. Price is still above the box high and the midpoint retest mode is active. At 15:42, price dips back to the midpoint, wicks it, and closes above. The entry fires long. Score is 4/5: box formed, volume confirmed, retest in time, and RR viable. The NY.L below is the nearest untested level, well below the stop, so it is not a concern. TP1 is hit 18 minutes later. 9.5 Illustrative bear scenario Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation. A narrow 12-point box forms and breaks below the low at 14:28 on heavy volume. The breakout retest mode is selected. The wait period holds entries. At 15:30, price is trading 30 points below the box low. The system begins watching for a pullback back to the box low. At 15:44, price rallies back to the box low, taps it, and closes below. Short entry fires. Score is 3/5. Stop is placed above the box high with ATR buffer. TP2 is reached before the session ends. 10. Settings reference Timezone: UTC offset selector for all time inputs and the dashboard clock. Opening range box: start hour, start minute, end hour, end minute (all in local timezone), box color, box fill transparency, max box history in days. Wait period: enable toggle, active window start hour and minute, session end hour and minute. Entry settings: breakout volume multiplier, volume average length, retest timeout in bars, ATR length, stop loss ATR buffer, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles, SL/TP line projection in bars. Session liquidity: show toggles for Asia, London, and NY with individual start and end times, colors, tested level transparency, line extend bars, show previous day toggle, label text size, show session vertical lines toggle, vertical line style and width, proximity alert toggle and ATR distance. Confluence score: maximum risk-to-reward sanity check multiplier. Dashboard: show toggle, position, text size. Visualization: wait period background show, color, and transparency; entry active background show, color, and transparency. 11. Known limitations The ORB Engine is designed for sessions that produce a directional move after the opening range. It performs best when the market has a clear bias — a breakout in one direction that holds and then retests cleanly before continuing. In choppy, sideways price action, the indicator will produce repeated stop loss hits. If the opening range is narrow and price oscillates around the box boundaries without committing to a direction, a breakout in one direction can be followed immediately by a breakout in the opposite direction. Because the system locks breakout direction on the first confirmed move, subsequent reversals are not re-evaluated as a new setup within the same session. The result in choppy conditions is typically one or two stop loss hits before the session ends without a valid directional move. This is not a flaw in the indicator — it reflects the reality that opening range strategies depend on directional follow-through. On days where the market is consolidating at the session open, no ORB approach will perform well. The confluence score provides some protection: a score below 3 indicates fewer confirming factors and may warrant sitting on the sidelines. The session liquidity levels can also help — if there is no clear untested level in the breakout direction, the setup has no obvious target and the probability of follow-through is lower. The volume confirmation filter reduces false breakouts in thin conditions, but it does not eliminate them on highly volatile instruments where even noise candles can exceed the volume threshold. On assets with very low liquidity, the breakout volume multiplier should be raised above the default 1.3 to filter more aggressively. On very low timeframes such as 1-minute charts, the retest timeout in bars covers fewer minutes. A timeout of 100 bars on a 1-minute chart gives 100 minutes of window. Adjust the timeout per timeframe to reflect how long a valid retest can realistically take on the instrument you are trading. 12.

Opening Range Breakout (ORB) [martineye15]Opening Range Breakout (ORB) — a configurable, non-repainting opening-range breakout tool. It records the high and low of an opening-range window you define, locks that range at session close, then signals breakouts above or below it and projects a stop-loss and up to three take-profit targets for each one. It is market-agnostic: session, timezone, active days, confirmation style, risk model, filters, visuals and alerts are all inputs, so the same tool adapts to indices, futures, forex, crypto or stocks on any intraday timeframe. THE OPENING RANGE - Define the range by session time and timezone (e.g. 0930-0945 New York for the first 15 minutes of the US cash open), with presets for the major world market zones. - Choose which weekdays are active (Mon to Sun). - The range builds live during the window, then locks at session close. Optionally extend the locked levels across the rest of the day. BREAKOUT DETECTION - Confirmation: require a bar to close beyond the level, or count any wick / touch. - Signal mode: the first breakout of the day only, or every breakout. - Optional retest: after the initial break, wait for price to return to the broken level and resume in the breakout direction before signalling. RISK MODEL - Stop-loss: opposite OR boundary, OR midpoint, ATR, fixed ticks, or percent. - Take-profit: risk multiple (R), OR-range multiple, ATR, fixed ticks, or percent, with up to three targets. - Levels are computed from the entry, drawn with labels, and their hits are tracked bar by bar. FILTERS - OR size filter: skip days whose range is too small or too large (in ticks or percent) to avoid low-quality sessions. - One trade per day. - Volume confirmation: require the breakout bar's volume to exceed its moving average. VISUALS & INFO - Opening-range box and high/low lines, breakout labels, and SL/TP lines, all with configurable colours, width and style. - Optional session background, and an on-chart info table showing the OR high/low, range size, current state (forming / waiting / filtered / active / closed) and the latest result. ALERTS - Opening range formed, bullish breakout, bearish breakout, take-profit hit, and stop-loss hit, with messages that include the symbol, timeframe and levels. HOW TO USE Apply it to an intraday chart and set the OR session and timezone to match your instrument — the US cash open, a forex session open, or any window you trade. Tune the stop and target model to your risk approach, add the size, volume or one-trade-per-day filters if you want stricter conditions, and set alerts on the events you care about. Every module toggles independently, so you can keep the chart minimal or fully detailed. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Rather than a fixed opening-range window with a single stop and target rule, everything is parameterised: five stop methods, five target methods with up to three targets, an optional retest condition, size and volume filters, and full timezone / session / weekday control — so one tool fits very different instruments and playbooks while staying non-repainting. REPAINTING & LIMITATIONS Breakout signals and stop/target hits are evaluated only on confirmed (closed) bars, so historical and realtime behaviour match — the tool does not repaint. The opening-range box and lines update live while the range is still forming, which is expected. It runs on intraday timeframes only; on daily or higher it displays a notice instead of drawing. This is a visual, decision-support tool. It is not a strategy, it places no orders and reports no performance statistics, and it is not financial advice.

ORB + Volume Confirmation | AlphaScript ORB + Volume Confirmation filters the opening range breakout through the one thing most ORB tools ignore: whether anyone actually showed up for the move. Every breakout is checked against relative volume, and the ones that fail the check get marked right on your chart — hollow, gray, labeled. For the first time you don't just see the breakouts you'd take. You see the ones that would have taken you. 🧠 Concept The number one complaint about opening range breakout systems is false breakouts — price pokes through the range, triggers the entry, and immediately reverses. But most false breakouts share a fingerprint: they happen on thin volume. A genuine initiative break is an auction event; participants commit size to push price out of balance, and that commitment is visible in the tape before the follow-through confirms it. A breakout on quiet volume isn't initiative — it's drift, and drift beyond a boundary gets sold back inside. The fix isn't a better range. It's asking one question at the moment of the break: is this bar's volume abnormal for this moment of the day? If yes, the break is confirmed. If no, it's flagged as exactly what it is — a breakout that crossed the line without the fuel to hold it. 🔍 What it does Builds the opening range from the first N minutes of your session (5/15/30/60, timezone configurable) and draws it as a clean box that releases price after a set number of bars, with the range high and low continuing as level rays across the session. Every close beyond the range is then sorted into one of two categories: Confirmed breakout — close beyond the range AND relative volume at or above your threshold (default 1.5×). Marked with a bold signal label showing the exact volume multiple ("LONG BREAK · 2.5× VOL"), plus projected targets at 0.5×, 1.0×, 1.5×, and 2.0× the range height. Unconfirmed breakout — price crossed, volume didn't. Marked hollow and gray with its actual reading ("no vol 1.1×"). These marks are the teaching layer of the entire tool: scroll back through any month of sessions and count how many of the gray triangles reversed. That's the tuition a naked ORB system charges. Two volume engines are included. Rolling SMA compares the bar against recent average volume — simple, active immediately. Time-of-Day (adaptive) compares each bar against the average volume at that same minute of the day across recent sessions — the stricter, more honest read, because it knows the open is always loud and refuses to be impressed by it. ⚙️ How it works A breakout is confirmed only on a full bar close beyond the range — wicks don't count, and nothing repaints intrabar. One confirmed signal per direction per session, so a chop day can't spam your chart or your alerts. Signals are only valid within a configurable window after the range completes (default 3 hours). A late-afternoon "break" of the morning range is a different trade — this tool refuses to pretend otherwise. Relative volume is computed against a baseline that never includes the current bar, zero-volume bars can never confirm, and the session logic survives date rollovers, holiday sessions, and the Sunday futures open. Intraday charts only, at or below the range duration — the script enforces this rather than silently drawing nonsense. Targets are fully configurable: independent colors per direction, line style, width, transparency, labels — and an option to keep target levels from previous sessions on the chart (depth of your choosing), turning the tool into a study of how price respects old range projections. 📈 How to use it The default configuration is built for US index futures: 15-minute opening range, New York 09:30 session, 1.5× volume threshold on a 1–5 minute chart. Start by doing nothing. Load it, scroll back twenty sessions, and compare the confirmed signals against the gray ones. The threshold isn't a magic number — it's a dial between selectivity and opportunity, and the chart will show you where your market and timeframe want it. Index futures generally respect 1.5×; forex tick volume tends to run flatter, so 1.2–1.3× is a more realistic starting point there. The volume multiple printed on each signal is information, not decoration: a 3× break and a 1.6× break both confirm, but they are not the same trade. Three alerts are included: confirmed long, confirmed short, and unconfirmed touch (off by default — turn it on if you want to be told when a trap is forming). Recommended setting: "Once per bar close." 📝 Notes A decision-support tool, not a strategy. Volume confirmation filters breakouts — it doesn't guarantee them. Confirmed breaks fail too, just less often than the ones nobody paid for. Always apply your own risk management.

ORB Breakout Targets | AlphaScript ORB Breakout Targets combines a session opening range with the key levels traders already watch , then answers the question most breakout tools leave open: broken — toward what? When the range breaks, the nearest significant level beyond the break is automatically identified and highlighted as the measured target. A breakout with a destination, not just an arrow. 🧠 Concept The opening range of a session concentrates the first auction of the day; its break signals initiative in one direction. But a break alone says nothing about follow-through — price tends to travel between reference levels, and the natural magnet after a breakout is the nearest untested level in the breakout direction: the prior day's high, an overnight session extreme, the Monday range. Finding that level by eye, every session, across a dozen candidates, is exactly the work this tool removes. The range gives you the trigger; the key level map gives you the objective. 🔍 What it does Builds the opening range from the first N minutes (default 30) of your chosen session — New York, London, or Asia — and draws it as a live box whose fill reflects the current state: bullish coloring while price holds above the range midpoint, bearish below it, updating in real time so the box itself reads as a bias gauge at a glance. On a confirmed breakout, marks the break on the chart and highlights the nearest enabled key level beyond the range as the target, in its own color with a dedicated label. Key levels available as target candidates and chart structure: Timeframes — 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly: open, high, low, mid, and the prior period's high, low, and mid Sessions — Asia, London, New York (windows configurable, in New York time): open, high, low, mid, and prior session levels Monday Range — high, low, and mid of the week's opening day Levels sharing the same price within your Merge Threshold collapse into one line with a combined label, so the target reads as a single clean zone even when multiple references agree on it. ⚙️ How it works A breakout is confirmed only on a full bar close beyond the range — wicks through the boundary don't count, and nothing repaints intrabar. Detection runs only during the parent session of your selected opening range, so overnight drift through yesterday's levels never produces a false signal. On a bullish break, the target is the first enabled level above the range high; on a bearish break, the first enabled level below the range low. Levels sitting inside the range are never selected. The target is dynamic: enable or disable level groups and it recalculates to the nearest qualifying level — your level settings are your target settings. All higher-timeframe and session values are retrieved with non-repainting historical requests. What a historical bar shows is what you would have seen live. 📈 How to use it The default view is built for intraday breakout trading: previous day high/low, Asia and London session extremes, and the Monday range as target candidates, with the New York 30-minute opening range. Fewer enabled levels means more meaningful targets — add Weekly or Monthly levels only if you want swing-distance objectives, and expect targets to sit farther away when you do. The box color gives a quick bias read before and after the break: sustained bullish fill with price pressing the range high often precedes the upside break, and a break that flips the box back against you is an early warning the move is failing. Three alerts are included: bullish breakout, bearish breakout, and target reached — each fires once per session, per direction. Recommended alert setting: "Once per bar close." PulseWire shows a standard notice on alerts from close-confirmed scripts; that is expected behavior and the tradeoff for signals that don't repaint. Session times, range duration (1–120 minutes), colors, line styles, and every level group are independently configurable. 📝 Notes A decision-support tool, not a strategy. The target marks where the nearest significant reference sits beyond the break — where price has reacted before, not where it must go. Breakouts fail; targets are objectives, not guarantees. Always apply your own risk management.

Opening Range Breakout & Liquidity Engine Opening Range Breakout & Liquidity Engine Overview A complete intraday opening-range-breakout engine. For each session it auto-detects the open, builds the opening range (the high–low band of the first N minutes, where the day's initial balance is set), and then does the three things most opening-range scripts leave out: it filters the day for tradability, it projects a trade map (targets and a stop) scaled to that day's own volatility, and it keeps an honest, on-chart win-rate tally of how often breaks actually reach their first target before the stop. It draws the structure and the map; it does not place orders. Analytical tool, not advice. What makes it different — why these pieces are ONE engine (mashup rationale) The opening range is the substrate — the reference band the whole day is measured against (ORH / ORL / midpoint). The relative-volume ("in play") filter asks whether the range formed on above-average volume — the single biggest edge driver in the research. A break on a quiet day and a break on an active day are not the same event, so the engine measures the range's volume against a rolling average of prior sessions' opening-range volume and flags it. The direction filter can require the break to agree with the opening-range candle's own direction, dropping the counter-range breaks that fare worst. The accepted-break logic (close beyond the edge, optionally held a bar) separates a real initiative move from a wick. The trade map projects targets (as range multiples or risk/R multiples) and a stop (opposite edge, range midpoint, or an ATR distance), so the plan scales to each day's volatility instead of fixed points — and reports the resulting R:R. The win-rate harness closes the loop: it tracks every break until it tags target 1 or the stop and reports a real, path-aware Hit % and Edge on your instrument (optionally in-play only), logging unresolved breaks as end-of-day exits separately. The failed-break module handles the other half of reality: a break that closes back inside the range traps breakout traders, so the engine flags it, projects the reversal to the opposite edge (stop at the failure extreme), and runs a second harness measuring how often that fade reaches the opposite edge before the failure is re-broken. A retest-hold flag marks the high-probability continuation entry; a trap flag marks both-edges-broken days; a range-state read (compressed / normal / wide) says what kind of break you're looking at. Split apart, each piece is a fragment: a box without the filters is noise, targets without the harness are guesses, and a break with no failure case is half the picture. Chained, they answer one question — is this opening-range break worth taking here, and if it fails, is the fade? That interdependence is why it's a single engine, not a bundle. What this adds over a standard opening-range script Most ORB scripts stop at drawing the box and the two breakout lines. This engine adds the parts that decide and verify: Relative-volume "in play" filter. Flags whether today's opening range formed on above-average volume — research-shown to be the dominant driver of opening-range edge — with an optional toggle to count only in-play days in the stats. Range-direction filter. Optionally restricts breaks to the direction the opening-range candle closed, removing the weakest counter-range trades. Volatility-scaled trade map. Targets as range or R (risk) multiples; stop at the opposite edge, the range midpoint, or an ATR distance — with the live R:R shown. Path-aware win-rate harness. Tracks each break to target 1 or stop and reports an honest Hit % / Edge (vs a 50% coin-flip), counting end-of-day exits separately — a real, in-sample reality check, not a curve-fit claim. Failed-break reversal module. Detects the break that closes back inside the range (a fakeout — research puts breakout failure rates in the 60–80% range), projects the fade toward the opposite edge with the failure extreme as its stop, and runs a second harness reporting how often the fade reaches that edge first. A failed break is often the better trade, and almost no ORB script measures it. Retest-hold, trap and range-state context. A retest-hold flag marks the broken edge holding as support/resistance (the higher-probability continuation entry); a trap flag marks both-edges-broken whipsaw days; a range-state read (compressed / normal / wide vs the rolling average) says whether the break is likely to run or fail. Reference levels with built-in legends. Current-day H/L, prior-day H/L (PDH/PDL) and prior-week H/L (PWH/PWL) — the most-watched intraday liquidity pools — are drawn as labelled lines that extend right, each tagged (DH/DL/PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL) so every line identifies itself. A Day position read shows whether price is above PDH, inside the prior-day range, or below PDL. Liquidity-sweep detection, fused with the failure logic. A sweep — price wicks beyond PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL and closes back inside, taking the stops there — is flagged with a marker and in the dashboard. Because the opening-range edges are themselves prime liquidity, a failed ORB break that sweeps a level is the highest-conviction version of the fade; the engine ties the two together. Institution-grade, readable visuals. Events are compact bar-anchored markers (triangle / cross / circle / flag) instead of stacked labels; key levels are drawn as glowing lines with bold colour-coded legend chips at the right edge; a legend-key panel decodes every mark and line; and only the most recent sessions' drawings are kept, so the chart stays clean even after months of history. The dashboard and legend key are theme-adaptive — they auto-match a light or dark chart background for proper contrast. Auto-session that works where others break. New-session detection keys off a calendar-day change in the instrument's own timezone, so it resets correctly even on feeds with no out-of-session bars (NSE index futures only print 09:15–15:30) — where edge-detection scripts silently fail. Fused decision dashboard. Break state, ORH/ORL, range, range state, range direction, relative volume / in-play, targets, stop, R:R, day position vs the prior day, liquidity-sweep status, the running Hit % / Edge, the failed-break fade and its Hit % / Edge, and retest/trap status — theme-adaptive to your chart. How it works Session: Auto groups by the instrument's trading day in its native timezone (works even with no out-of-session bars); Manual pins a window. Range: the high/low of the first N minutes become ORH/ORL; the midpoint is the pivot; the range candle's close-vs-open sets the range direction; its volume vs a rolling average gives the relative-volume "in play" read; its size vs a rolling average gives the range state (compressed / normal / wide). Break: the first close beyond ORH (long) or ORL (short) after the range completes, optionally held a bar and optionally restricted to the range direction. Map: targets = break edge + range multiples, or entry + risk (R) multiples; stop = opposite edge, range midpoint, or an ATR distance. Harness: each break is followed until it tags target 1 or the stop; unresolved breaks at the close are logged as end-of-day exits, separate from the Hit %. Failure: if an accepted break closes back inside the range it is flagged failed; the reversal targets the opposite edge with the failure extreme as stop, and a separate fade harness reports how often that reversal reaches the opposite edge before the failure extreme is re-broken. A retest of the broken edge that holds is flagged continuation; both edges breaking is flagged a trap. Levels: current-day H/L (tracked live), prior-day H/L and prior-week H/L (from the weekly series) are drawn as labelled lines (DH/DL, PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL) extending right. Liquidity: a sweep is a bar that wicks a set fraction of ATR beyond PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL then closes back inside — the stops there are taken and price rejects — flagged with a marker and in the dashboard alongside the day-position read. How to use Trade with an accepted break toward target 1 / 2, invalidated back inside the range (or at the chosen stop); favour in-play, range-direction and compressed-range breaks, and breaks that also clear PDH / PWH (genuine acceptance through liquidity) — all shown to carry the edge. When a break fails back inside, or sweeps a key level and rejects, the fade toward the opposite edge is often the better trade — the dashboard's fade Hit % / Edge tells you whether it has paid here. A retest that holds confirms continuation; a trap (both edges broken) is usually a stand-aside. Use the Hit % / Edge reads as a reality check before relying on any of it. Context for your decisions — not a standalone trigger. Universal across markets (configurable data source) High / low / close sources, the session mode / window / timezone and the range length are all inputs, so the engine runs on any instrument and intraday timeframe. Defaults target NSE NIFTY index futures with a first-15-minute range (the research tested 5 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes; 5 was best on US single stocks). Change the sources, session and range for any other market. Use an intraday chart; the relative-volume filter needs a real volume feed and degrades gracefully without one. Originality The opening-range, fakeout-reversal and liquidity concepts are public (credited below); the original work is the assembly and the code — auto-session detection that works on instruments with no out-of-session bars, the relative-volume "in play" / range-direction / range-state filters, the range / R-multiple trade map with ATR stop and end-of-day exit, the path-aware win-rate harness, the failed-break reversal module with its own fade harness, and the reference-level + liquidity-sweep engine that ties the break to prior-day / prior-week liquidity. No third-party code is reused. Companion drawings (PulseWire compliance note) Everything this plots is part of the one engine and is explained above — the opening-range box, the ORH/ORL/midpoint lines, the day/week reference levels (DH/DL, PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL) with their right-edge legends, the bar-anchored break / failed / retest / sweep markers, the target / stop / reversal lines, the legend-key panel, and the dashboard. There are no unrelated studies. Before publishing, clean the chart so only this indicator is shown. Concept credit The opening-range-breakout concept is long-standing market lore, formalised by Toby Crabel ("Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout") and related to Mark B. Fisher's ACD method ("The Logical Trader"). The relative-volume "stocks in play" filter and the range-direction entry follow the empirical study of Zarattini, Barbon & Aziz (2023–24). The failed-breakout (fakeout) reversal and retest-hold continuation are classic price-action concepts, and prior-day / prior-week liquidity with the liquidity-sweep (stop-raid-then-reject) read are general price-action / Smart-Money-Concept ideas in wide public use. Implementation is original; not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, any third party, and no third-party code is reused. Honesty / limitations The Hit % is path-aware but in-sample, ignores costs and slippage, assumes the target/stop fills exactly at touch, and counts one break per session — descriptive context, not a verified backtest.

Nexus Global 15m ORB Introduction The Nexus Global 15m ORB indicator is a comprehensive opening range tool designed to map the initial 15-minute price action across the three major global trading sessions: Tokyo, London, and New York. Beyond simply marking the high and low of the opening range, this script integrates Fibonacci-based Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones, mathematical trend extensions, and Higher Timeframe (HTF) structural confluence to help traders identify high-probability reversal and continuation zones. Core Concepts & What It Does Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategies rely on the volatility generated at the start of a trading session. The first 15 minutes often establish a support and resistance framework for the hours that follow. This indicator automatically detects these 15-minute windows and projects the range forward until the next session begins. However, a standard ORB is often not enough to build a complete trading plan. To address this, the indicator incorporates: - Internal Fibonacci Levels & OTE Zone: Calculates key retracement levels (38.2% and 50%) and highlights a specific Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) box between the 61.8% and 78.6% levels of the session's range. - Session Trend Extensions: Projects standard Fibonacci extensions (0.618, 1.272, and 1.618) outward from the ORB high and low to serve as dynamic take-profit targets or exhaustion levels. - HTF Institutional Pivots: Pulls structural swing highs and lows from a user-defined higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour) and calculates its own macro Fibonacci levels. When these macro levels intersect with the micro 15m ORB range, the indicator highlights them as "Institutional Pivots." How It Calculates (Underlying Logic) - Session Tracking: Uses time() functions to detect the exact 15-minute timeframe of the Tokyo (0845-0900 JST), London (0800-0815 GMT), and New York (0930-0945 EST) opens. It dynamically tracks the high and low during this window and locks the values once the window closes. - Internal Mathematics: The range size (rng) is calculated as ORB High - ORB Low. Internal levels are found by subtracting percentages of the range from the ORB High (e.g., ORB High - (rng * 0.5) for the 50% level). - HTF Confluence: Utilizes request.security() alongside ta.highest() and ta.lowest() over a customizable lookback period to establish the macro structural range. It then checks if the macro 38.2%, 50%, or 61.8% levels fall sequentially inside the current active ORB boundaries, plotting them distinctly when true. - Performance Optimization: To ensure the indicator does not cause chart lag (a common issue with heavy line/box drawing scripts), the drawing engine is restricted to update visual arrays strictly on barstate.islast, ensuring lightning-fast load times even on the 1-minute chart.* How to Use It - Breakout & Retest: Watch for price to break the ORB High or Low, and then wait for a retracement back to the 38.2% or 50% internal levels to join the trend toward the 1.272 or 1.618 extensions. - OTE Reversals: If a false breakout (fake-out) occurs, look for price to return to the highlighted OTE Zone (61.8% - 78.6%). This zone often acts as a strong area of defense for institutional order flow, providing excellent risk-to-reward entries back toward the opposite side of the ORB. - Institutional Pivots: When an HTF line populates inside the session range, treat it as a heavy magnet or resistance. Trades taken in confluence with these pivots carry a much higher structural weighting. Originality & Usefulness While there are many ORB tools on PulseWire, the vast majority only display horizontal lines for the high and low. This script is highly original because it combines micro-session timing with macro-structural Fibonacci confluence. By mashing up session tracking with HTF swing analysis and deep optimization drawing methods, it provides a complete, lag-free institutional framework in a single indicator, saving traders from needing multiple overlapping scripts to achieve the same result.

AlgoStorm Institutional Key Levels (IKL)AlgoStorm Institutional Key Levels (IKL) For US Index Futures and DAX. An institutional-grade structural mapping tool built on actual Auction Market Theory (AMT) to track the true liquidity and volume nodes across centralized futures markets. The retail trading industry has heavily distorted the word "institutional," convincing traders that algorithms are hunting their stop-losses at random pivot highs. The reality is far more objective. Real institutions, hedge funds, and market makers rely on definitive, centralized exchange volume, liquidity depth, and execution algorithms (VWAP/TWAP) to scale into positions without causing market impact. The AlgoStorm Institutional Key Levels (IKL) indicator maps the precise mathematical benchmarks that dictate this capital flow. Designed for markets with centralized volume (CME, Eurex), it plots highly accurate session opens, Opening Ranges, Initial Balances, and Value Areas, stripping away retail noise to provide a professional framework for your intraday bias. Technical Specifications & Architecture Supported Markets: Universal application for centralized futures markets including US Indices (ES, NQ, YM, RTY) and European Indices (DAX/FDAX, FDXM). Supported Timeframes: Designed specifically for 2-minute through 30-minute charts . (Note: Due to the historical buffers required for multi-session mapping, Pine Script will reject timeframes below 2-minutes). Timezone Mastery: Flawlessly handles Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions natively. US Futures are bound strictly to America/New_York , while DAX/Eurex Futures are strictly bound to Europe/Berlin . Fixed-Pool Drawing Engine: Most level indicators suffer from memory bloat and chart lag due to constant object creation and garbage collection limits. The IKL utilizes a highly optimized "fixed-pool" architecture. Lines and labels are generated only once on the first bar and recycled dynamically. Smart Label Stagger: Features a forward-pass algorithm that detects and pushes overlapping labels apart (user-adjustable separation), ensuring your chart remains pristine regardless of price compression. US Futures Mapping (ES / NQ / YM / RTY) All inputs trigger based on standard America/New_York session times. Globex Structure: Previous Day High/Low (Full 18:00–17:00 session) and Overnight High/Low (18:00 to 09:30 ET). RTH Anchors: Previous Day Close (PDC) locked exactly at the 16:00 ET cash close, and the RTH Open (09:30 ET) held all day. Gap Fill Zone: Automatically draws an asynchronous highlight box between the PDC and current RTH open if an unfilled gap of more than 2 ticks exists. Auction Metrics: 15-minute Opening Range (09:30–09:45 ET) and the standard Initial Balance (09:30–10:30 ET) with optional 100%, 150%, and 200% IB extension bands. Eurex / DAX Futures Mapping (FDAX / FDXM) A complete, standalone module built for the complex, multi-open nature of European futures. Based on Europe/Berlin time. Asian / Pre-London Phase: Tracks Eurex overnight high/low from 01:00 CET until Frankfurt liquidity arrives at 08:00 CET. Euro / Frankfurt Session: Plots the 08:00 CET Open and the 30-minute Euro Opening Range (08:00–08:30 CET). Xetra Cash Session: Plots the definitive Xetra Open (09:00 CET), Xetra OPR (09:00–09:30 CET), and the Previous Xetra Close (17:30 CET) which acts as the DAX equivalent to the US PDC. US Open Impact: Captures the 15:30 CET open and 30-minute OPR, marking the massive liquidity injection when US equity markets open. Execution & Volume Mechanics Algorithmic VWAPs: Plots the exact Daily and Session VWAP bands used by institutional execution desks to grade their fills. Features a full Globex Daily VWAP (resets 18:00 ET), a localized NY VWAP (resets 09:30 ET), and a dedicated Xetra VWAP (resets 09:00 CET). Custom Value Area Engine: Features a built-in, manual array-based Volume Profile engine. It calculates the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) for both RTH and Xetra sessions independently, bypassing standard Pine Script volume limitations. Users can customize the Value Area % and price-row tick size.

Session Probability Grid [JOAT]Session Probability Grid Introduction Session Probability Grid is an open-source session auction map. It builds percent-based ladder levels from the active session open, tracks historical hit behavior for those levels, and displays probability-style context for expansion, exhaustion, and unusual session movement. The problem it solves is session framing. Traders often know the open is important, but they may not know whether a move is normal for the current symbol and timeframe. This script records session outcomes and converts them into visible ladder probabilities. Core Concepts 1. Session Open Ladder The script creates six upside and six downside levels from the session open using configurable percentage steps. These levels frame how far price has moved away from the open. 2. Historical Hit Memory At the end of each session, the script updates arrays storing hit counts, sample counts, and continuation distance. This creates a rolling sample of how often each ladder has been reached. 3. Opening Range Context The first configurable number of bars defines the opening range. The session box and opening range box help distinguish early balance from later expansion. 4. Expansion and Exhaustion States Expansion states identify movement through areas with supportive historical behavior. Exhaustion states mark stretched locations where continuation may be less reliable. 5. Session VWAP Gradient The optional session VWAP gradient adds a live auction mean reference so ladder movement can be compared against the developing session control line. Features Open-relative ladder: Six upside and six downside levels based on configurable percent steps. Statistical memory: Tracks hit count, sample count, and continuation distance from completed sessions. Probability cards: Right-side cards show ladder behavior without crowding price. Expansion and exhaustion states: Highlights meaningful session movement conditions. Session and opening range boxes: Frames current auction development. Session VWAP gradient: Adds a developing mean reference. Candle coloring: Bars can be colored by session state. Dashboard: Shows session state, nearest ladder, hit probability, expected continuation, and range condition. Alerts: Upside expansion, downside expansion, upper exhaustion, and lower exhaustion. Input Parameters Core Session: Active Session, Opening Range Bars, Stat Sample Cap, Session Range Box, Opening Range Box. Ladder: Open-Relative Ladders and Step 1 through Step 6. Signals and Visuals: Auction State Zones, State Projection Bars, Continuation Probability Gate, Right Probability Cards, Session Candle Color, Session VWAP Gradient, Dashboard. How to Use This Indicator Step 1: Start from the session open The ladder levels are built from the open, so they frame the current session relative to its starting price. Step 2: Compare price to the ladder As price approaches a ladder level, check the probability card and dashboard for historical hit and continuation context. Step 3: Distinguish expansion from exhaustion Expansion and exhaustion states help separate normal auction development from stretched movement. Indicator Limitations Probabilities are based on the chart's available historical sessions and are not universal statistics. Session boundaries depend on the selected exchange/session setting. The script needs enough completed sessions to build useful samples. Probability context does not predict future price. Originality Statement Session Probability Grid is original in its combination of open-relative ladders, rolling hit memory, continuation-distance storage, session VWAP context, opening range framing, and expansion/exhaustion visualization. It is not just a static percent-level tool; it updates its context from completed session behavior. Disclaimer This script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not recommend trades. Historical session behavior may not repeat. Use independent analysis and risk management. Made with passion by jackofalltrades

Quant Synthesis Strategy [JOAT]Quant Synthesis Strategy Introduction QSS Quant Synthesis Strategy is an open-source PulseWire strategy that integrates regime detection, higher-timeframe bias, confirmed structure, session opening-range context, volume participation, trend energy, ATR exits, cooldowns, and session risk controls. The strategy is designed as a realistic research baseline, not an optimized profit promise. Its purpose is to demonstrate how the JOAT indicator concepts can be combined into a non-repainting strategy framework with explicit risk management. Core Concepts 1. Market Regime Detection The regime model uses EMA spread, ADX from DMI, and ATR percentage context to classify Trend, Expansion, Balance, or Transition. 2. Higher-Timeframe Bias The strategy requests higher-timeframe EMAs with lookahead disabled. Long bias requires the HTF fast EMA above the slow EMA with positive slope; short bias is mirrored. 3. Confirmed Structure Pivot-based structure checks whether recent highs and lows form bullish or bearish structure. Pivot confirmation is delayed by design to avoid repainting. 4. Session Opening Range The strategy tracks a configurable trading session and opening range. Entries can require session context so trades are not taken randomly outside the selected window. 5. Risk and Exits Position size is estimated from a percentage of equity and ATR stop distance. Exits include ATR stop, ATR target, maximum bars in trade, regime/bias exit, cooldown, and session flattening. Features Regime engine: Trend, Expansion, Balance, and Transition classification HTF bias filter: Uses non-lookahead request.security() higher-timeframe EMAs Confirmed structure filter: Pivot-based bullish/bearish structure state Session opening range: Optional session context for entries Volume participation filter: Uses volume z-score and directional volume Confluence score: Separate long and short scores gate entries ATR exits: Stop loss and take profit scale with volatility Risk controls: Risk percent, cooldown, max entries per session, max bars in trade, and session flattening Visuals: EMA cloud, opening-range lines, stop/target plots, and top-right dashboard Default Strategy Properties Initial capital: 100000 Commission: 0.01 percent Slippage: 1 tick Pyramiding: 0 Order processing: process orders on close Position sizing: fixed quantity calculated internally from risk settings How to Use Step 1: Select a market and timeframe with enough historical data. Step 2: Review the dashboard regime and HTF bias before interpreting trades. Step 3: Adjust risk percent, ATR stop, ATR target, cooldown, and session settings conservatively. Step 4: Evaluate results across multiple symbols and timeframes. Avoid optimizing only one market segment. Limitations Backtest results are historical simulations and do not guarantee future performance More trades can increase sample size but can also increase noise and transaction costs Pivot confirmation creates intentional signal delay Strategy results depend on symbol liquidity, timeframe, session settings, slippage, and commission assumptions The strategy is a research framework, not a recommendation to trade Originality Statement QSS is an original JOAT strategy framework that integrates regime detection, HTF bias, structure, session context, volume participation, and ATR risk management into one non-repainting Pine Script v6 strategy. Disclaimer This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice and does not guarantee profitability. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Historical backtests can be inaccurate or misleading if assumptions do not match live execution. Made with passion by jackofalltrades
