Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zone Plotter [algo_aakash]Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zone Plotter locates the 62%-79% institutional retracement zone of a confirmed impulsive swing and keeps only the single most relevant zone per direction on the chart, fading it through disclosed mitigation states as price interacts with it.
Problem Statement
The Optimal Trade Entry concept, retracing into the 62%-79% region of an impulsive leg before continuation, is a well-known Fibonacci convention, but most public implementations simply plot every Fibonacci level on every swing they detect. This produces charts covered in overlapping retracement boxes, most of which come from insignificant swings that carry no real weight, and gives no visual indication of which zones are still fresh, already tested, or fully invalidated.
This indicator addresses that gap by filtering which swings are allowed to generate a zone in the first place, by showing only the current zone per direction at full strength, and by changing each zone's appearance as price actually interacts with it.
Methodology
Swing highs and lows are identified with ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow using a user-defined Pivot Length, so every swing referenced by the script is a confirmed pivot, evaluated only after barstate.isconfirmed is true.
Consecutive pivots of the same type extend a running swing extreme; a leg is only registered when the pivot type alternates (a low following a high, or a high following a low). Each candidate leg must then clear three disclosed checks before it is allowed to create a zone: the leg's price range must reach a minimum multiple of ATR, the swing candle's own body-to-range ratio must reach a minimum threshold, and, if the Break of Structure filter is enabled, the new swing must exceed the prior swing of the same type. Legs that fail any check produce no zone, no label, and no alert.
A qualifying leg generates one OTE zone: the shaded region between the 62% and 79% retracement of that leg, with the 70.5% level drawn as a two-layer glowing midline inside it. Only one bullish and one bearish zone are ever active at a time. When a new qualifying leg forms, the previous zone of that direction is frozen in place and, if enabled, kept as a single low-opacity historical reference rather than removed outright or left overlapping the new zone.
Each active zone tracks its own mitigation state on every confirmed bar: Fresh (untouched), Touched (price has wicked into the 62%-79% region), Mitigated (a confirmed close through the 79% boundary), or Invalidated (a confirmed close back through the leg's own origin point). State can only advance forward, and the zone's fill opacity and border color update automatically at each transition, so the chart communicates a zone's condition without any additional label or panel.
Signal Workflow
Step 1 — a confirmed swing pivot alternates direction, registering a candidate leg from the prior opposite pivot to the new one.
Step 2 — the leg is checked against the Minimum Swing Size, Body Ratio, and optional Break of Structure filters; legs that fail are discarded with no chart output.
Step 3 — a qualifying leg creates a new active OTE zone (62%-79%) with its 70.5% midline, and the previous zone of the same direction is frozen and faded.
Step 4 — the active zone's state advances from Fresh to Touched as price wicks into the zone on a confirmed bar.
Step 5 — the zone advances to Mitigated on a confirmed close through the 79% boundary, or to Invalidated on a confirmed close back through the leg's origin, at which point it is greyed out.
Step 6 — each transition and each zone entry/exit can trigger its own alert, gated by the corresponding toggle in the Alerts group.
Why This Indicator Is Different
Most public OTE/Fibonacci scripts draw a zone for every detected swing regardless of its significance, leaving multiple overlapping retracement boxes on the chart at once.
This script applies a disclosed three-part quality filter (ATR-relative swing size, swing candle body ratio, optional break-of-structure confirmation) before a swing is even allowed to generate a zone.
Only one zone per direction is ever shown at full strength; the prior zone automatically fades to a quiet historical reference the moment a new qualifying swing appears, keeping the chart focused on the current opportunity.
Zone fill opacity and border color are driven entirely by a four-state mitigation engine (Fresh/Touched/Mitigated/Invalidated) computed from confirmed price action against the zone's own boundaries, so the visual state of a zone is informative rather than purely decorative.
The 70.5% equilibrium level is rendered as a two-layer glow line rather than a plain dashed line, giving the zone's mid-point a distinct, non-generic appearance.

Practical Usage
Treat an active, Fresh OTE zone in the direction of the prevailing structure as a region to watch for a retracement entry, not a standalone entry signal by itself.
Use the Break of Structure filter on trending instruments to restrict zones to swings that genuinely extended structure, and disable it on ranging instruments where internal swings may still be meaningful.
Raise the Minimum Swing Size and Body Ratio filters on lower timeframes or noisy instruments to reduce the number of zones generated.
Watch the zone's fill opacity as a quick visual read of its condition: a bold zone has not been tested, a lighter fill has already been touched or mitigated, and a greyed zone has been invalidated and should generally be disregarded.
Combine the Entered/Exited alerts with your own confirmation criteria (candlestick behavior, lower-timeframe structure, etc.) rather than treating zone entry alone as a trigger.
Limitations
Swing pivots require bars to form on both sides before they confirm, so every zone is inherently placed a Pivot Length number of bars after the actual swing extreme occurred.
The quality filter reduces the number of zones shown but does not evaluate or predict the outcome of any individual retracement.
Only one active zone per direction is displayed at a time; if you want to review multiple historical zones simultaneously, enable "Fade Previous Zone on New Swing" and note that only the single most recent prior zone is retained, not a full history.
As with any retracement-based tool, results will vary across instruments, timeframes, and market regimes.
Notes
This indicator is a zone-location tool intended to highlight the current, quality-filtered Optimal Trade Entry region and its mitigation state through a disclosed, rule-based process.
All swing confirmations, zone creation, mitigation-state transitions, and invalidations are evaluated on confirmed bar closes only, so no element of the script repaints once drawn.
The output is intended to support retracement-based analysis and is not a standalone buy or sell recommendation.

Optimal Trade Entry + Silver Bullet [Quantum Algo]Optimal Trade Entry + Silver Bullet
====================================================
🔶 OVERVIEW
Optimal Trade Entry + Silver Bullet is an automated ICT-style Fibonacci retracement engine that combines the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) concept with the three Silver Bullet time windows. The indicator confirms market structure through swing highs and swing lows, detects a break of structure, automatically anchors a Fibonacci grid to the impulse leg, and highlights the 61.8% to 79% retracement zone — the Optimal Trade Entry zone — as a gradient that intensifies toward the 70.5% sweet spot. Every zone tap is graded with a transparent confluence score built from time-of-day windows, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps.
The goal is simple: remove the two biggest sources of error in discretionary Optimal Trade Entry trading — anchoring the Fibonacci retracement to the wrong leg, and taking entries outside the hours when the model statistically performs.
🔶 WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY ZONE?
The Optimal Trade Entry is a smart money concept describing the discount (in an uptrend) or premium (in a downtrend) portion of an impulse leg where institutional participants typically complete their entries after a trend has been confirmed. It is defined as the area between the 61.8% and 79% Fibonacci retracement of the most recent impulse, with the 70.5% level acting as the statistical sweet spot. Price retracing into this zone after a break of structure offers a defined-risk entry: the stop belongs beyond the origin of the leg, and the targets project into the extension levels beyond the impulse extreme.
🔶 WHAT ARE THE SILVER BULLET WINDOWS?
The Silver Bullet model restricts trading to three specific one-hour windows in New York time, when algorithmic price delivery is most likely to seek liquidity and fill fair value gaps:
- London Open window — 03:00 to 04:00
- New York Morning window — 10:00 to 11:00
- New York Afternoon window — 14:00 to 15:00
This indicator shades each window on intraday charts, labels the window open, and treats window activity as a scoring input: an Optimal Trade Entry tap that occurs inside an active window grades higher than one that occurs outside it.
🔶 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS ORIGINAL
1. Pivot-and-shift automatic anchoring. The Fibonacci grid is never drawn from arbitrary pivots and never requires manual anchoring. It appears only after price closes through a confirmed swing point — a genuine break of structure — and anchors to the true origin of the impulse leg.
2. Dynamic leg stretching. While the trend continues printing new highs or new lows, the grid stretches with the market in real time, so the retracement zone is always measured against the current, mathematically complete leg — not a stale one.
3. Time-based signal qualification. The Silver Bullet windows are not decorative background shading. They are wired directly into the signal engine and the grading model, which is what separates this tool from a standard Fibonacci retracement indicator.
4. Transparent confluence grading. Every signal receives a grade of A+, A, B, or C based on four observable, verifiable conditions: entry zone tap, active Silver Bullet window, directional fair value gap formed inside a window on the current leg, and a liquidity sweep at the leg origin (the anchor pivot running the stops beyond the pivot before it). Nothing is hidden, nothing is repainted, and nothing is curve-fit.
🔶 HOW IT WORKS
Market structure engine: Swing highs and swing lows are confirmed with a symmetric pivot lookback. A candle close above the last confirmed swing high shifts the engine bullish; a close below the last confirmed swing low shifts it bearish. All signals are evaluated on closed bars only, so entries do not repaint.
Fibonacci retracement grid: On each break of structure the impulse leg is measured from the anchor pivot to the running extreme. The script plots the origin (1.0), equilibrium (0.5), the entry zone borders (0.618 and 0.79), the sweet spot (0.705, dotted), the impulse extreme (0.0), and two target extensions (default -0.27 and -0.62).
Entry zone gradient: The zone between 0.618 and 0.79 renders as four stacked slices whose opacity increases toward the 0.705 sweet spot, giving an immediate visual read of where the highest-probability fill sits.
Fair value gap engine: Three-candle imbalances that clear a minimum size threshold (measured against average true range) are boxed on the chart. By default only gaps forming inside an active Silver Bullet window are drawn, and every gap grays out automatically once price mitigates it, keeping the chart clean.
Liquidity sweep detection: When the anchor pivot of a new leg trades through the pivot before it — sell-side liquidity taken before a bullish leg, or buy-side liquidity taken before a bearish leg — the setup is flagged as a sweep and grades higher.
Trade plan projection: When price taps the entry zone and passes the active filters, the script prints a graded signal marker plus Entry, Stop (beyond the leg origin with an average-true-range buffer), Target One, and Target Two, each labeled with its exact price.
Dashboard: A compact panel tracks directional bias, live retracement percentage, entry zone status, sweet spot price, the active Silver Bullet window, fair value gap confluence count, and liquidity sweep status at a glance.
🔶 HOW TO USE IT
1. Apply the indicator to an intraday chart. One-minute to fifteen-minute timeframes suit the Silver Bullet windows best; the Fibonacci engine itself works on any timeframe.
2. Wait for the dashboard bias to flip after a break of structure.
3. Let price retrace. The dashboard shows the live retracement percentage as price approaches the Optimal Trade Entry zone.
4. The strongest setups tap the gradient inside an active Silver Bullet window after a liquidity sweep, with a fair value gap in the direction of the leg — that is the A+ profile.
5. Use the printed Entry, Stop, and Target levels as reference geometry, then apply your own position sizing and risk management.
6. Tighten or relax the engine with the two signal filters: Require Active Silver Bullet Window and Require Fair Value Gap Confluence.
🔶 SETTINGS
- Swing Detection Length — pivot lookback controlling structure size; higher values track larger legs.
- Completed Setups To Keep, Fair Value Gaps To Keep, Trade Plans To Keep — cap how many historical drawings remain, so the chart stays clean and the auto-scale stays anchored to current price.
- Independent toggles for each Silver Bullet window, the Fibonacci grid, the zone gradient, equilibrium, targets, and the dashboard.
- Fully customizable colors and dashboard position.
🔶 ALERTS
- Bullish Optimal Trade Entry — price tapped the bullish zone and passed the active filters.
- Bearish Optimal Trade Entry — price tapped the bearish zone and passed the active filters.
- Silver Bullet Window Opened — one of the three windows just began.
🔶 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the indicator repaint? Entries are evaluated on closed bars only. Swing pivots require confirmation by design, which introduces intentional lag but keeps historical signals fixed.
Which markets does it work on? Any symbol with candle data — cryptocurrency, forex, gold, indices, stocks, and futures. The Silver Bullet windows reference New York time regardless of your chart timezone.
Which timeframe is best? The Silver Bullet windows require an intraday chart (sixty minutes or below). The one-minute to fifteen-minute range is the classic application; the Optimal Trade Entry engine alone also functions on higher timeframes.
What does the grade mean? It is a count of observable confluences (zone tap, window, gap, sweep) — a transparency tool, not a win-rate prediction.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Pivot confirmation is intentionally delayed by the swing length, so the engine describes confirmed structure rather than predicting it. Retracements can exceed the zone and invalidate the leg during strong counter-moves. Grades measure confluence, not probability of profit. No indicator replaces independent analysis.

Fib OTE + FVG Confluence [Viprasol]Fib OTE + FVG Confluence — high-probability ICT entries where two edges agree
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
THE IDEA
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
A Fair Value Gap is a good entry zone. An OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) retracement is a
good entry zone. But an FVG that sits INSIDE the OTE — that's the setup ICT traders
actually wait for. This tool maps the higher-timeframe OTE / premium-discount zone,
detects Fair Value Gaps, and does the one thing that matters: it highlights and ALERTS
you when price taps an FVG that lands inside the OTE.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. HTF OTE MAP — From the previous candle range of your chosen higher timeframe
(non-repainting), it builds the Fibonacci map: the OTE band (default 0.618-0.786),
the equilibrium line (0.5) that splits premium from discount, and a directional bias
(Auto from the last HTF candle, or force Long/Short). In a long bias the OTE sits in
discount (below equilibrium) — where you want to buy; in a short bias it sits in
premium.
2. FAIR VALUE GAPS — Standard 3-candle imbalances (bullish `low > high `, bearish
`high < low `), with an optional displacement filter and a minimum-size filter to
cut noise. Each gap is drawn as a box and tracked until filled (Wick / Close /
Average mitigation).
3. CONFLUENCE — the point of the tool. A gap is "confluent" when it overlaps the OTE
band (strict) or, in the looser mode, when a bullish gap sits in discount / a bearish
gap sits in premium. Confluent gaps are highlighted with a ★. Turn on "Show ONLY
Confluent FVGs" and the chart reduces to just the high-probability zones.
4. ALERTS — Get notified when price TAPS a confluent FVG (and optionally when one
forms). One alert, delivered via app / email / SMS / webhook (Text or JSON message).
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
ALERTS SETUP
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Create one alert → Condition: "Fib OTE + FVG Confluence" → "Any alert() function call",
then pick your delivery (app/email/SMS/webhook) in the dialog. Switch Message Format to
"JSON (webhook)" for bot/automation-friendly output. Messages carry direction, event
(FORMED/TAPPED), and the gap's price range.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SETTINGS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• HTF Fibonacci / OTE: timeframe, bias (Auto/Long/Short), OTE start/end, show map, colors.
• Fair Value Gaps: min gap %, displacement filter, fill mode, show-only-confluent, colors, box extend.
• Confluence & Alerts: confluence rule (Inside OTE / Favored half), highlight color, form/tap
alert toggles, frequency (once-per-bar-close = no repaint), Text/JSON.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
1. Set the OTE higher timeframe (e.g. Daily on an intraday chart).
2. Let Auto bias pick direction, or force Long/Short to your plan.
3. Enable "Show ONLY Confluent FVGs" to see just gaps inside the OTE.
4. Create the alert and wait for a tap of a ★ confluent gap — that's your cue to do
your own analysis and manage risk.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
LIMITATIONS — PLEASE READ
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
• This is an awareness / confluence tool, not a strategy or signal service — no buy/sell
calls. A confluent tap is a location of interest, not a guarantee.
• The OTE map uses the previous HTF candle range and updates as new HTF candles form;
it reflects current context, not a fixed historical grid.
• FVGs are detected on the chart timeframe; confluence is judged against the OTE active
when each gap forms.
• Not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.

Nexus Global 15m ORBIntroduction
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.

SMC Flip Zone Engine ViprasolOverview
The original detects a break of structure, walks back to find the reaction leg that preceded it, and draws a colored zone box, with optional Liquidity Sweep, Fair Value Gap, HTF EMA alignment, and OTE (discount/premium) filters that can be toggled on to reduce noise. This version keeps that zone-detection engine intact and adds a Viprasol confluence and lifecycle layer: a 0-4 confluence score with A/B/C grading, a minimum-score gate, zone mitigation (retest) and invalidation tracking, a per-side cooldown, and an ATR-free risk overlay that projects Entry/SL/TP from a zone when price returns to it.
It is built for traders who work with break-of-structure flip zones and want each zone graded by how much SMC confluence actually backs it, plus automatic tracking of when zones are retested or broken.
How It Works
Structure Break & Reaction Leg (from original):
A bullish flip is triggered when close crosses over the prior highest-high of the lookback window (supply broken); a bearish flip when close crosses under the prior lowest-low (demand broken). On a break, the script walks back over the reaction-leg length to find the extreme of the trap leg — for a bull flip, the lowest low in that window and its bar's high define the zone's bottom and top. A box is drawn from that reaction bar forward.
SMC Filters (from original, toggle-gated):
Four optional filters can each be required before a zone is drawn:
- Liquidity Sweep — the reaction leg must have exceeded the prior structural extreme (taken liquidity).
- FVG / Displacement — a fair value gap must be present around the break (e.g. low > high ).
- HTF Alignment — bull zones only above, bear zones only below, the 50 EMA of a higher timeframe.
- OTE (Discount/Premium) — the zone midpoint must sit in the discount half (bull) or premium half (bear) of the leg, where equilibrium = leg low + (leg high − leg low) × 0.5.
Confluence Score & Grade (new):
Independently of which filters are toggled on, the script evaluates all four confluence conditions as raw booleans on every new zone and sums them into a 0-4 score:
score = sweep? + fvg? + ote? + htfAligned?
The score is mapped to a grade — A (>= 3), B (= 2), C (<= 1) — and printed on the zone box. This means even with all filters off (so every break draws a zone), you can still see which zones are backed by genuine confluence. A "Minimum Confluence Score" input then lets you suppress any zone below a chosen score without having to hard-require specific filters.
Zone Mitigation & Invalidation (new):
Every existing zone is tracked across bars. A zone is mitigated the first time price trades back into its range (low <= top and high >= bot) — this fires a mitigation alert (a potential entry as the flip zone is retested). A zone is invalidated when price closes through it (close < bot for a bull zone, close > top for a bear zone); invalidated zones are recolored gray (or can be left as-is) and fire an invalidation alert. Each transition fires once per zone.
Risk Overlay on Mitigation (new):
When "Show SL/TP on Mitigation" is enabled, the first retest of a zone projects three lines: Entry at the near edge of the zone, Stop-Loss at the far edge (so the zone height is the risk), and Take-Profit at Entry ± zone-height × the Risk:Reward ratio. Colored ENTRY/SL/TP price labels mark the line ends. Only the most recent mitigation's projection is kept, to avoid clutter.
Per-Side Cooldown (new):
An optional cooldown enforces a minimum number of bars between new zones on the same side (tracked as bar_index − lastSideBar >= cooldown), preventing a burst of overlapping zones during a single fast move.
What Is Original (Viprasol Additions)
1. Confluence score (0-4) and A/B/C grade printed on each zone, computed from raw sweep/FVG/OTE/HTF conditions regardless of which filters are toggled.
2. Minimum-confluence-score gate — suppress low-quality zones without hard-requiring individual filters.
3. Zone mitigation (retest) detection with a dedicated alert.
4. Zone invalidation detection (price closes through) with recoloring and a dedicated alert.
5. Risk overlay — Entry/SL/TP projection with colored price labels drawn on the first mitigation of a zone, sized by zone height and the Risk:Reward ratio.
6. Per-side zone cooldown to prevent clustering.
Key Features
From the Original:
- Break-of-structure detection via crossover/crossunder of the lookback high/low
- Reaction-leg walk-back to locate the trap zone behind the break
- Bullish and bearish flip-zone boxes with labels
- Optional Liquidity Sweep, FVG, HTF 50-EMA alignment, and OTE filters
- Oldest-zone pruning to limit chart clutter
Added in This Version (Viprasol):
- 0-4 confluence score with A/B/C grade on every zone
- Minimum-score quality gate
- Mitigation (retest) and invalidation lifecycle tracking with recoloring
- Entry/SL/TP risk overlay with colored price labels on mitigation
- Per-side cooldown
- Info dashboard (active zone counts, HTF state, filters-on count, min score)
- Six alert conditions with dynamic {{ticker}}/{{close}}/{{interval}} messages
How to Use
Getting Started:
1. Add to a standard candlestick chart (not Heikin Ashi).
2. With all filters off (default), every structure break draws a graded zone — read the A/B/C grade to judge quality.
3. To trade only stronger setups, either raise "Minimum Confluence Score" or turn on the specific filters you require.
Reading the Chart:
- Green zone = bullish flip (drawn after a supply break); red zone = bearish flip (after a demand break).
- The bracket on each zone, e.g. , is the confluence grade and score.
- A zone turning gray means price closed through it — it is invalidated.
- When price returns into a zone and SL/TP is enabled, Entry/SL/TP lines and price labels project to the right.
Recommended Starting Points:
- Intraday (5m-15m): Lookback 20, Reaction 7, Min Score 0-1, Cooldown 0-3
- Swing (1H-4H): Lookback 30, Reaction 7-10, Min Score 2, enable HTF alignment
- Higher conviction: Min Score 3 (grade A only), or require Sweep + FVG
These are starting points only — every market and timeframe behaves differently. Backtest and adjust before trading live.

Alerts
1. New Bull Zone — a bullish flip zone was created
2. New Bear Zone — a bearish flip zone was created
3. Any New Zone — either direction created
4. Bull Mitigation — price returned to a bullish zone (potential long)
5. Bear Mitigation — price returned to a bearish zone (potential short)
6. Zone Invalidated — a zone was closed through and invalidated
All alerts include {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{interval}} for dynamic notification messages.
Limitations & Disclaimer
- Zones are created on the bar the structure break confirms; because detection uses crossover/crossunder of close versus the prior swing, signals are evaluated on the closing relationship and the reaction leg is identified after the fact.
- The HTF alignment filter uses request.security with lookahead disabled; HTF values update only as the higher-timeframe bar progresses.
- The FVG and OTE checks are simplified single-bar/leg-midpoint approximations, not full multi-leg ICT constructs.
- Mitigation is detected on the first wick back into a zone; this is an awareness signal, not a guaranteed reversal.
- SL/TP lines and price labels are visual references only and do not place or manage trades.
- Filters and the minimum-score gate reduce the number of zones; in choppy ranges valid zones may be suppressed, while in fast trends overlapping zones may appear if cooldown is off.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and test on historical data before trading live.

0.236 / 0.382 Shallow retracements, indicate strong momentum
0.500 Equilibrium, mid-point of the range
0.618 Top of the OTE zone, primary pullback target
0.786 Bottom of the OTE zone, deepest acceptable pullback
In a bullish HTF candle, retracement is measured downward from the high. In a bearish HTF candle, retracement is measured upward from the low. The bias is detected automatically from the previous closed HTF candle.
USAGE
Use this on its own as a pullback entry tool, or in combination with a trend filter (HTF moving average, market structure, etc).
When price enters the OTE zone in alignment with HTF trend direction, that is the textbook setup. When price rejects the OTE zone aggressively (long upper or lower wick), it can be a mean-reversion signal in the opposite direction.
The 0.618 alone is also a common shallow-retracement entry for traders who want to capture more of the move at the cost of a wider stop.
SETTINGS
Reference Timeframe controls the HTF used for bias detection and range calculation. Default Daily; use Weekly for swing and Monthly for position trades.
HTF High and Low lines are plotted by default as primary liquidity targets.
HTF Open and Close lines available as optional references.
The OTE zone has a customizable background color Indicator
Nexus Global Initial Balance (IB)📝 Publication Description
Title: Nexus Global Initial Balance (IB) : Institutional Flow & Macro Confluence System
Overview
The Nexus Global Initial Balance (IB) is a sophisticated volatility-mapping engine designed for elite index and forex traders. It utilizes the Initial Balance (IB)—the critical first 60 minutes of the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions—to establish the "Structural DNA" of the trading day.
While most traders focus on simple breakouts, this indicator uncovers the hidden institutional "pivot zones" by overlapping session volatility with macro-structural Fibonacci context. It identifies where the "Big Money" is likely to defend positions and where trend expansions are mathematically projected to exhaust.
Key Institutional Features:
Triple-Session IB Architecture: Dynamic, color-coded 1-hour ranges for Tokyo (JST), London (GMT/BST), and New York (EST/EDT).
The Session Golden Zone: Automated shading of the 50% – 61.8% retracement area within each IB box, identifying the high-probability "Institutional Re-entry" zone.
Macro-to-Micro Confluence Engine: A master HTF source toggle that scans higher timeframes (15m to Daily) for structural Fibonacci levels and highlights them as "Institutional Pivots" when they intersect with your session range.
Trend-Based Expansion Projections: Algorithmic price targets based on Fibonacci extensions (0.618, 1.272, 1.618) to define precise take-profit areas.
Pro-Tier Visual Customization: Full control over line weights, styles (Dashed/Dotted/Solid), and session colors to maintain a clean, high-performance trading environment.
📈 The "Nexus Method": Professional Trading Rules
To trade this indicator successfully, follow these institutional protocols:
Rule 1: Establish the "Macro Bias"
The Check: Before the session opens, check the HTF 50% Level (the Daily or 4-hour midpoint).
The Rule: If the price is trading above the HTF 50%, look for Bullish IB breakouts. If below, look for Bearish IB breakdowns.
Rule 2: The "Golden Zone" Retest (Highest Probability)
Setup: Wait for the 1-hour IB range to form.
Action: If the price breaks out of the IBH (High), do not chase it. Wait for a pullback into the shaded Golden Zone (50-61.8%) within the box.
Confirmation: Look for an Institutional Pivot (Red line) sitting inside that Golden Zone.
Entry: Buy when price touches the confluence of the Golden Zone and the Institutional Pivot.
Stop Loss: 5 ticks below the IBL (Low).
Rule 3: The "Expansion Target" Protocol
Take Profit 1 (0.618 Ext): Move stop-loss to Breakeven. This is the "Safety Target."
Take Profit 2 (1.272 Ext): The institutional target for "Trend Days." Close 75% of the position here.
Take Profit 3 (1.618 Ext): The "Exhaustion Point." Close the remainder of the position.
Rule 4: The "Failed IB" (Mean Reversion)
The Setup: Price breaks the IBH but cannot reach the 0.618 extension and falls back into the box.
The Rule: This is a "Range Day." Target the opposite side of the box (IBL). This usually occurs when there is no confluence between the session range and the HTF levels.
Rule 5: Session Synergy
Always watch the Tokyo IB levels during the London open. If London opens inside the Tokyo Golden Zone, it often indicates a massive expansion move is coming as the two sessions' liquidity pools overlap. Indicator
OTE Sweep Signal + MTF Bias + VWAP + DR# OTE Sweep Signal + MTF Bias + VWAP + DR
## Overview
A comprehensive intraday trading system that combines four core concepts into one indicator: **Dealing Range (DR) session boxes**, **Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) sweep signals**, **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) bias**, and **VWAP**. Designed for futures traders (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES) but works on any liquid intraday instrument.
The indicator automatically identifies when price sweeps liquidity above or below a prior HTF candle's high or low, pulls back into the 50–61.8% retracement zone (the OTE), and fires an entry signal — all filtered by session time, swing structure, range limits, VWAP, and a confirmed Dealing Range bias.
---
## How It Works
### 1. HTF Sweep Detection
On each new bar of your chosen Signal Timeframe (default 60m), the indicator locks in the prior candle's high and low as liquidity targets. If price sweeps above the prior high without taking the prior low (bull sweep), or below the prior low without taking the prior high (bear sweep), the sweep is locked in and the OTE zone is drawn.
### 2. OTE Zone
Once a sweep is detected, the indicator calculates the retracement zone between the 50% and your chosen OTE level (default 61.8%) of the swept candle's range. When price closes back inside this zone for the first time, an entry signal fires.
### 3. Entry, Stop, BE, and Target
- **Entry**: Top of OTE zone (bull) or bottom (bear)
- **Stop**: Prior candle high/low OR OTE zone buffer (selectable)
- **Break Even (BE)**: HTF candle open price
- **Target**: Prior candle H/L, next HTF swing H/L, or a fixed R:R multiplier
Each signal draws a label showing all four levels.
---
## Settings Groups
### Timeframe
- **Signal Timeframe** — The HTF used to identify sweeps and draw the OTE zone. Default 60m. Works on any intraday TF (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 240m).
- **Auto Sweep Window** — Automatically sets the window for valid sweeps to 1/3 of the signal TF duration. Turn off to set manually.
- **Sweep Window (minutes)** — Manual sweep window when Auto is off.
---
### OTE Zone
- **OTE Level (%)** — The deep retracement level that defines the bottom of the OTE zone. Default 61.8%. Range: 55–79%.
- **Show OTE Zone** — Toggle the shaded OTE box on/off.
- **Show Key Levels** — Toggle individual level lines (prior H/L, open, stop, target).
---
### Signals
- **Show Entry Arrows** — LONG/SHORT arrows plotted at the signal bar.
- **Show Stop & Target Label** — Detailed label with Entry, Stop, BE, and Target levels.
- **Stop Method** — *Prior Candle High/Low*: stop at the swept candle's opposite extreme. *OTE Zone Buffer*: stop just beyond the OTE deep level by a % of range.
- **OTE Stop Buffer** — Buffer percentage when using OTE Zone Buffer stop method.
- **Max Prior Candle Range (pts)** — Filters out signals where the swept candle's range is too large to produce a clean OTE setup. Default 100 pts.
- **Enable Max Range Filter** — Toggle the range filter on/off.
- **Target Method** — *Prior Candle H/L*: target the opposite extreme of the swept candle. *Next Swing H/L*: target the nearest HTF swing high/low beyond the sweep. *Fixed R:R*: target = entry ± (risk × multiplier).
- **Fixed R:R Multiplier** — Used only when Target Method is Fixed R:R. 2.0 = 2:1 reward to risk.
---
### Swing Filter
Filters out signals where price has swept through an intermediate HTF swing high or low between the prior candle extreme and the current bar. This prevents chasing signals that are actually breaking through multi-bar structure, not just taking a liquidity sweep.
- **Enable Swing Filter** — Toggle on/off.
- **Show Swing Levels** — Plots the four most recent HTF swing highs and lows as reference lines.
- **Show Blocked Signals** — Shows faded X arrows where a signal was detected but blocked by the swing filter or range filter.
---
### Session Filter
- **Enable Session Filter** — Only fire OTE signals during your defined trading hours.
- **Session Start Hour (ET)** — Default 9 (9 AM ET).
- **Session End Hour (ET)** — Default 16 (4 PM ET).
---
### Dealing Range (DR)
The Dealing Range (also called the Initial Balance) is the high/low established during each session's opening window. Three sessions are tracked independently.
**Session Times (all ET):**
| Session | Build Window | Extend Window |
|---|---|---|
| Asia | 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM | 8:00 PM – 2:00 AM |
| London | 3:00 AM – 4:00 AM | 4:00 AM – 8:30 AM |

- **Show DR Box (build window only)** — Shaded box that spans only the DR build period. Updates live as price builds the range and freezes when the session ends.
- **Show DR High/Low Lines** — Horizontal lines at the DR high and low. Can extend into the session extend window.
- **Extend H/L Lines into session** — When on, H/L lines extend to the end of the session extend window.
- **Show DR Open Line** — Dashed line at the first price of the DR session.
- **Show 25 / 50 / 75% Levels** — Internal DR levels at 25%, 50%, and 75% of the DR range. Update live during the build window and freeze when the DR closes. Labeled at the right edge.
- **Extend % Lines into session** — When on, the 25/50/75% lines also extend into the extend window.
- **Show % Level Labels** — Small text labels at the right edge of each % line.

**Per-session colors:** Each session (Asia, London, NY) has three separate color pickers — Box fill, High/Low line, and % lines — so you can distinguish sessions at a glance.
**DR Open Line Color** — Shared color for the open line across all sessions.
**NY DR Break + Day Bias Filter:**
Once the NY DR build window closes (10:30 AM), the indicator watches for price to close outside the NY DR high or low. When confirmed, it locks in the day's directional bias and fires a labeled arrow on the chart.
- **Filter OTE by NY DR Break Direction** — When on, only takes OTE longs when day bias is BULL, only takes OTE shorts when day bias is BEAR.
- **Show DR Break Label on Chart** — Arrow label showing "BULL DR" or "BEAR DR" with timestamp at the confirmation bar.
- **Confirmation Closes Required** — Number of consecutive closes beyond the DR high/low needed to confirm (1–3). Default 1.
- **Enable Time Gate** — Prevents the DR bias filter from activating before a set time. Avoids pre-market fakeouts locking you into one direction all day. Default 10:30 AM ET.
- **Gate Hour / Gate Minute** — The time gate threshold.
- **Block All Signals Before Gate Time** — When on, no OTE signals fire at all until the gate time passes.
- **Break Bull / Bear Color** — Colors for the DR break label and bias display.
---
### VWAP
- **Show VWAP Line** — Plots the session VWAP. Color and width adjustable.
- **Enable VWAP Filter** — When on, only takes long OTE signals when price is above VWAP, and short signals when below. Defaults to OFF — use the Results Table to A/B test its effect.
- **Show VWAP Distance in Bias Table** — Adds a row to the MTF Bias Table showing how many points price is currently above or below VWAP.
---
### HTF Range Box
Draws a shaded box for every bar of your Signal Timeframe, spanning the full high-to-low range. The box updates live as the HTF candle builds and the color reflects the current candle's direction (green if close ≥ open, red if not). These boxes give immediate visual context for where the HTF candle is relative to its own range.
- **Show HTF Range Box** — Toggle on/off.
- **Bull / Bear Fill Color** — Box fill colors for bullish and bearish HTF candles.
- **Bull / Bear Border Color** — Border colors.

---
### MTF Bias Table
A live bias dashboard showing whether each of your seven chosen timeframes is currently Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral — based on whether the current bar has broken above the prior bar's high or below the prior bar's low.
- **Show MTF Bias Table** — Toggle on/off.
- **TF 1–7** — Set any seven timeframes to monitor. Defaults: 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240, D.

- **Bias Table Size** — Tiny, Small, Normal, Large.
- **Show Bull/Bear Score Row** — Summary row showing count of bullish vs bearish TFs (e.g. "4B / 3S").
- **Show Accuracy (n / %)** — For each TF, tracks how often the bias signal correctly predicted the following bar's close direction. Shows percentage and sample count. Each TF accumulates at its own rate — a 1m TF will have far more samples than a Daily.
- **All color options** — Separate colors for bullish fill/text, bearish fill/text, neutral fill/text, header fill/text, score row fill/text.
The table also includes a **NY DR BIAS** row at the bottom showing the current day's confirmed Dealing Range direction and whether the filter is active.
---
### Colors
- **Bullish / Bearish Color** — Main signal colors used for OTE zone fills and entry arrows.
- **Zone Transparency %** — How transparent the OTE zone fill is (60–95%).
---
### Results Table (Table 1 — Summary)
A compact performance summary. Position is independently configurable.
- **Show Results Table** — Toggle on/off.
- **Summary Table Position** — Where to anchor Table 1 (settings + stats + P&L).

Separate table showing performance broken down by time slot. Works correctly for any signal timeframe — a 30m signal TF shows `9:30AM-10:00AM` style slots, not just hourly.
- **Hour Table Position** — Where to anchor Table 2. Default: Bottom Left (separate from Table 1).
- **Columns**: Time slot | W | BE | L | Net Pts
---
## Signal Logic Summary
A signal fires when ALL of the following are true:
1. Price swept the prior HTF candle's high (long) or low (short) within the sweep window
2. Price closed back inside the OTE zone for the first time
3. Within the session filter hours
4. Prior candle range did not exceed the max range filter
5. No intermediate HTF swing high/low was breached (swing filter)
6. VWAP filter passed (if enabled)
7. NY DR bias filter passed (if enabled and confirmed)
8. Past the time gate (if block-before-gate is enabled)
Signals blocked by filters 4–8 are shown as faded X arrows so you can visually audit what the filters are doing.
---
## Notes
- Works best on 1m and 5m charts with the Signal Timeframe set to 30m, 60m, or 240m.
- The indicator uses `max_bars_back=5000` to support longer lookback periods.
- DR boxes and lines use `xloc.bar_time` for precise timestamp-based placement.
- On chart timeframes below 5 minutes, a 5m security request is used for DR calculations to match the original DR/Initial Balance convention.
- All dollar P&L figures are estimates based on your $ Per Point and contract count settings — not a substitute for actual brokerage records. Indicator
AG Pro Premium Discount Zone Engine [AGPro Series]AG Pro Premium Discount Zone Engine
Overview / What it does
AG Pro Premium Discount Zone Engine is a dealing-range and retracement context overlay built to map relative value inside a selected swing. Instead of treating price as a sequence of isolated candles, the script frames current price location against an active high-low range and highlights where price is trading relative to equilibrium, premium, discount, and the OTE area.
The core purpose of this tool is organizational. It is designed to help traders read where price is positioned inside a live swing and how price reacts when it moves into higher-value or lower-value retracement zones. This is especially useful when a chart is moving inside a pullback, when trend continuation is being evaluated, or when users want to distinguish between shallow retracements and deeper repricing within an existing range.
The script supports multiple ways to define the active range. Users can work with an automatically detected swing, a higher-timeframe dealing range, or a manual-lite anchor mode based on bar offsets. Once a valid range is identified, the script projects premium and discount territory, marks the 50% equilibrium, and highlights the OTE area using the 61.8, 70.5, and 78.6 retracement levels.
The output is intentionally visual, structured, and restrained. Premium and discount zones are shown as clean value blocks. The OTE area is treated as the main focus zone rather than a minor detail. The panel summarizes the active bias, current location, zone state, equilibrium level, and OTE boundaries so that users can read the chart quickly without relying on aggressive signal language.
Unique Edge
What makes this script different is that it is not built as a market-structure detector, imbalance mapper, liquidity event scanner, or order-block locator. Its job is narrower and more specific: it organizes relative price location inside a defined dealing range.
That distinction matters. Many overlays attempt to explain everything on the chart at once. This script does not. It does not try to label breaks of structure, detect fair value gaps, mark liquidity sweeps, or classify institutional zones. Instead, it answers a more focused question: where is price trading inside the current swing, and how is it behaving as it enters or leaves important retracement territory?
This also separates the script from other AG Pro tools. Some AG Pro overlays are built around structure transitions, some around imbalance behavior, some around reaction quality, and some around event detection. AG Pro Premium Discount Zone Engine is built around valuation context. It does not compete with those tools directly. It complements them by adding a relative-value map around a selected range.
Another difference is the zone-state logic. The script does not stop at drawing premium and discount blocks. It also tracks how price interacts with the OTE area and classifies that interaction using a simple state model such as Fresh, First tap, Retested, Rejected, Accepted, and Invalidated. This creates a more contextual read than a static retracement overlay.
Methodology
The script begins by identifying an active swing range. In Auto Swing mode, it uses pivot-based range detection. In HTF Swing mode, it builds the range from a higher-timeframe high-low window. In Manual-Lite Swing mode, it uses bar-offset anchors to let the user define a practical swing reference without requiring manual drawing tools.
Once the active range is available, the script calculates the internal value map:
- Swing High
- Swing Low
- 50% Equilibrium
- Premium territory above equilibrium
- Discount territory below equilibrium
- OTE zone using 61.8, 70.5, and 78.6 retracement levels
The script then monitors how price behaves around those levels. This produces context states rather than directional promises. For example, price entering the OTE area is not treated the same as price rejecting from it, accepting beyond it, or invalidating the active range. These are intentionally different events because they describe different chart conditions.
The equilibrium level is included as a centerline reference, while the OTE band is given stronger visual emphasis. This helps distinguish broad valuation territory from the narrower retracement pocket that many users monitor more closely.
Signals & Alerts
The signals in this script are event-based and deterministic. They are not designed as standalone trade instructions. They are designed to describe interaction with the active range.
Available event logic includes:
- OTE Test
- OTE Reject
- OTE Accept
- Discount Reaction
- Premium Rejection
- Equilibrium Cross
- Range Invalidated
- OTE Failure
These events are intended to provide chart context. For example, an OTE Test simply means price entered the active OTE zone. A Premium Rejection means price traded into the premium side and closed back below the local premium threshold used by the script. A Discount Reaction means price interacted with the discount side and responded upward under the script's rules. These are context events, not guarantees of continuation.
Alerts follow the same philosophy. They are defined in a rules-based way so users can monitor range interaction without needing to watch the chart continuously. The alert layer is most useful when the script is used as a location filter inside a broader workflow.
Key Inputs
Swing mode
Lets the user choose between Auto Swing, HTF Swing, and Manual-Lite Swing depending on whether the goal is reactive automation, higher-timeframe framing, or a more controlled local range definition.
Auto pivot length
Controls how sensitive the pivot-based swing detection is in Auto mode.
HTF timeframe and HTF lookback
Used to define the broader dealing range in higher-timeframe mode.
Manual high bars back / manual low bars back
Used to create a manual-lite range by referencing earlier bars as anchors.
Render bars back / render bars forward
Controls how far the active range projection extends on the chart.
Zone opacity and theme
Used to refine the visual balance between premium, discount, and OTE areas.
Label controls
Used to reduce visual noise by controlling label cooldown, label render window, and maximum visible labels.
Panel controls
Allow the user to reposition the panel and adjust its text size to fit different chart layouts.
Limitations & Transparency
This script does not predict direction. It does not forecast reversals. It does not decide whether a chart should trend, break, or fail. It maps relative value inside a selected range and reports interaction events inside that framework.
The quality of the output depends on the quality of the active swing. If the selected or detected range is not meaningful for the user's workflow, the valuation map will also be less meaningful. This is especially important in highly compressed, extremely noisy, or structurally unclear conditions.
Auto Swing mode is practical, but like any automated swing model, it depends on pivot confirmation and may update as newer pivots become available. HTF mode provides broader context but may feel less reactive on smaller charts. Manual-Lite mode gives more control but still depends on the user choosing sensible anchor distances.
OTE logic is range-relative. It does not incorporate unrelated concepts such as order blocks, liquidity pools, fair value gaps, session models, or external structure classifications unless the user combines those ideas manually in a separate workflow.
This script is best understood as a valuation-context overlay. It is not a complete strategy, not a full decision engine, and not a substitute for risk management.
How this differs from other AG Pro scripts
AG Pro Premium Discount Zone Engine is intentionally not a structure-break tool, not a CHoCH/BOS detector, not a liquidity sweep scanner, not an FVG engine, and not an order-block mapper.
Its role inside the AG Pro family is to answer a different question:
Where is price trading inside the active dealing range, and what is the quality of its interaction with that value map?
That makes it particularly useful for users who already understand direction from another process and want cleaner execution context. In other words, some tools focus on structural change, some focus on imbalance, and some focus on reaction events. This one focuses on valuation location.
Risk Disclosure
This script is for chart analysis and educational use only. It does not provide financial advice, investment advice, or guaranteed trade signals. Any use of this tool should be combined with independent analysis, risk controls, position management, and market-specific judgment.
The presence of an alert, label, premium zone, discount zone, or OTE interaction does not imply that price must react in a specific way. Markets can continue, reverse, compress, or invalidate a range without warning. Users should treat this script as a context tool, not as a promise of outcome.
Indicator
Advanced Fibonacci Confluence Matrix [MarkitTick]💡 The Advanced Fibonacci Confluence Matrix is a sophisticated multi-dimensional analytical tool designed for professional traders who demand precision in identifying high-probability institutional entry zones. By integrating Fibonacci retracement logic with multi-timeframe (MTF) confluence and Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection, this script identifies the "Optimal Trade Entry" (OTE) zones where various technical factors align. It serves as a comprehensive institutional-grade execution engine, providing not just visual zones, but also automated risk calculation and webhook-ready alert payloads for algorithmic execution.
● ✨ Originality and Utility
Traditional Fibonacci tools are often static and require manual adjustment, leading to subjective bias and missed opportunities during rapid price action. This indicator revolutionizes the process by:
• Dynamic Anchor Selection : It automatically identifies significant swing highs and lows to anchor Fibonacci levels, ensuring that the zones remain relevant to current market structure.
• Multi-Timeframe Confluence : It fetches Fibonacci data from higher timeframes (HTF), such as the Daily or 4-hour charts, and overlays them onto the local timeframe. This allows traders to see when a local OTE zone aligns with a major institutional level.
• FVG Integration : The script looks for Fair Value Gaps within the OTE zones. The presence of an FVG serves as a "magnet" or "trigger," increasing the probability that price will react within that specific area.
• Automated Alert Logic : Unlike simple price alerts, this script generates a structured JSON payload including Entry, Stop Loss, Take Profit, and calculated Position Size based on user-defined risk parameters.
● 🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The indicator is built upon the premise of Institutional Order Flow and the "Discount vs. Premium" market theory.
• Fibonacci Retracement Engine : The core logic calculates standard ratios (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786). The "Optimal Trade Entry" is specifically defined as the zone between the 0.618 and 0.786 retracement levels.
• The Confluence Matrix : The script maintains an internal matrix of "hits." When price enters a zone where a local Fibonacci level, an HTF level, and a Prime FVG all overlap, the confluence score increases, and the visual intensity of the zone changes to alert the trader.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG) Logic : The script detects imbalances where the High of Bar N is lower than the Low of Bar N+2 (for bearish) or the Low of Bar N is higher than the High of Bar N+2 (for bullish). It specifically filters for "Prime FVGs" that reside within the OTE retracement area.
• Risk-Adjusted Position Sizing : It uses the distance between the Entry (usually the 0.618 level or FVG edge) and the Stop Loss (usually the swing anchor) to calculate how many units should be traded to risk exactly X% of the account balance.
● 🎨 Visual Guide
• The OTE Zone (The Golden Box) : A shaded rectangle appearing between the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci levels. A Green box signifies a bullish discount zone, while a Red box signifies a bearish premium zone.
• HTF Confluence Lines : Horizontal dashed lines across the chart representing the 0.5 (Equilibrium) and 0.618 levels from a higher timeframe. These are typically colored Orange or Purple to distinguish them from local levels.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG) Rectangles : Small, semi-transparent boxes that mark price imbalances. When these appear inside the OTE Zone, they are highlighted with a thicker border to indicate a "High Probability Trigger."
• Swing Anchor Labels : Small "H" (High) and "L" (Low) labels appear at the points where the Fibonacci tool is anchored. These labels help the trader verify the current market structure context.
• Signal Labels : When a confluence event occurs, a "BUY" or "SELL" label appears above or below the candle. The label includes the calculated "Risk:Reward" ratio for that specific setup.
• Dashboard Table : A small UI element in the corner of the chart displaying the current HTF trend status, the distance to the nearest OTE zone, and the calculated position size for the next trade.
● 📖 How to Use
• Identifying a Setup : Wait for the script to define a new swing move. Once the "OTE Zone" box is drawn, monitor the price as it retraces toward that box.
• Confirming Confluence : The highest quality trades occur when the price enters the OTE zone and simultaneously touches an HTF dashed line or fills a Prime FVG.
• Execution : Look for the "Long Entry" or "Short Entry" signal. The script is optimized for "Bar Close" execution to avoid repainting issues.
• Automation : If using webhooks, ensure your execution platform is set to receive the JSON format. The "Action," "Ticker," and "Qty" fields are automatically populated based on the signal.
• Exit Strategy : The default Take Profit is set to the 0.0 Fibonacci level (the swing high/low), while the Stop Loss is placed just beyond the 1.0 anchor point.
● ⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• Fibonacci Sensitivity : Adjust the "Swing Lookback" to determine how significant a high or low must be to act as an anchor. Higher values result in more "Macro" zones.
• HTF Resolution : A dropdown allowing you to select which timeframe (e.g., 60m, 240m, Daily) the confluence lines should be pulled from.
• Zone Selection : Toggle switches to enable or disable specific levels (e.g., show only the 0.618 and 0.786).
• Risk Management : Input your "Account Size" and "Risk Percentage" (e.g., 1% or 0.5%) to calibrate the automated position sizing alerts.
• Alert Configuration : Options to enable specific JSON payloads for "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both."
● 🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The Advanced Fibonacci Confluence Matrix is grounded in the Golden Ratio Theory and the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), specifically focusing on market inefficiencies.
• Mathematical Proportions : The indicator utilizes the irrational number Phi (approximately 1.618) and its inverse (0.618). These ratios are derived from the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. In financial markets, these ratios describe the recursive nature of price retracements and expansions.
• Statistical Mean Reversion : The use of the 0.5 level (Equilibrium) is based on the statistical principle of mean reversion, suggesting that price has a natural tendency to return to a central point of value before continuing a trend.
• Liquidity & Imbalance Theory : The Fair Value Gap detection is based on the "Information Asymmetry" model in economics. When a large institutional order enters the market, it creates a "gap" or "void" because the liquidity at certain price levels was consumed too quickly. Academically, these gaps represent "Inefficient Pricing" that the market seeks to "fill" to restore equilibrium.
• Confluence Probability : By applying the Law of Large Numbers and Multi-Factor Modeling, the script assumes that the intersection of independent variables (Local Fib + HTF Fib + FVG) reduces the "Noise-to-Signal" ratio, thereby increasing the statistical significance of the resulting trade signal.

Automatic Fibonacci Levels [WillyAlgoTrader]Automatic Fibonacci Levels is an overlay indicator that detects the dominant swing high and swing low within the visible chart area, draws a full Fibonacci retracement and extension grid between them, highlights the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zone at 61.8%–78.6%, marks a target zone at the −50% to −61.8% extension, and labels four take-profit levels — all updating automatically as you scroll or zoom the chart.
Most Fibonacci tools on PulseWire are either manual (you draw them yourself and they become stale as price evolves) or pivot-based (anchored to a fixed lookback period that may not match the swing you're actually looking at). This indicator takes a different approach: it uses the visible chart range as its context. It finds the highest high and lowest low within what you can currently see, determines trend direction based on which came first, and draws the full Fibonacci grid accordingly. When you scroll or zoom to a different area, the grid adapts — making it a dynamic analysis companion rather than a static drawing tool.
🔍 WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
1. Visible-range swing detection. Instead of using a fixed pivot lookback or requiring manual anchor placement, the indicator scans the chart's visible window (chart.left_visible_bar_time to chart.right_visible_bar_time) to find the absolute high and low. This means the Fibonacci grid always reflects the swing structure you are currently analyzing. Zoom into a 50-bar range to see intraday retracements; zoom out to 500 bars to see the macro structure — the grid adjusts automatically. When the visible range changes (scroll or zoom), swing detection resets and recalculates.
2. Automatic trend direction from swing sequence. The indicator determines bullish or bearish bias by comparing when the swing low and swing high occurred. If the swing low formed first and the swing high formed later, the trend is classified as bullish (retracement levels are drawn down from the high, extensions project upward). If the swing high came first, the trend is bearish (retracement down from the low, extensions project downward). No manual input is needed — the grid orientation follows the price structure.
3. OTE Entry Zone + Target Zone as highlighted boxes. Two key zones are highlighted with semi-transparent boxes:
— Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%) : the Optimal Trade Entry area from ICT/SMC methodology — the deep retracement zone where institutional re-entry is most likely
— Target Zone (−50% to −61.8%) : the extension zone where breakout moves frequently reach
Both zones have configurable colors and optional text labels ("ENTRY ZONE" / "TARGET ZONE") inside them. Zone-touch alerts fire when price enters either box for the first time.
4. Four labeled take-profit levels. TP labels are placed at key Fibonacci levels to provide a structured scale-out framework:
— TP1 at 38.2% (first retracement target — conservative exit)
— TP2 at 0% (full swing retest — swing high in uptrend, swing low in downtrend)
— TP3 at −27.2% (first Fibonacci extension)
— TP4 at −61.8% (deep extension — runner target)
Each TP level is only displayed if the corresponding Fibonacci line is enabled, keeping the chart clean.
5. 16 individually toggleable levels. The indicator supports a comprehensive set of levels: 0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 70.6%, 78.6%, 100% (standard retracements), plus 18%, 150%, 200% (deep retracements), and −18%, −27.2%, −50%, −61.8%, −100% (extensions). Each level can be toggled on or off independently, so you can configure exactly the grid density you prefer — from a minimal 4-level setup to a full 16-level deep analysis.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
Swing detection:
On every bar, the script checks whether the current bar falls within the chart's visible time window (using chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time). Within this window, it tracks the highest high and lowest low, along with their bar indices. When the visible window changes (scroll/zoom), all swing data resets and recalculates from scratch. This ensures the grid always reflects your current view.
Trend direction:
If swingLowBarIdx < swingHighBarIdx (low came first), the trend is classified as bullish — Fibonacci levels count downward from the swing high (0% = high, 100% = low), and extensions project above the high. If the high came first, the trend is bearish — levels count upward from the swing low, extensions project below.
Level calculation:
Each Fibonacci level is calculated as: price = anchor ± (swingRange × ratio), where the anchor and direction depend on the trend bias. For a bullish trend: 0% = swingHigh, 61.8% = swingHigh − range × 0.618, −50% = swingHigh + range × 0.5. For bearish: mirrored.
Zone detection:
The Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%) and Target Zone (−50% to −61.8%) are computed as price ranges. On each confirmed bar, the script checks if the close falls within either zone. A zone-touch alert fires on the first confirmed bar inside the zone (no repeated alerts while price stays in the zone). The inEntryZone / inTargetZone state resets when price leaves, allowing re-entry detection.
Drawing:
All visual elements (lines, labels, boxes) are drawn on barstate.islast and cleaned up on each redraw to prevent accumulation. Lines extend from 2 bars before the current bar to the label offset position. Zones use extend.right so they remain visible as new bars form.
📖 HOW TO USE
Reading the chart:
— Orange horizontal lines = Fibonacci levels (retracement + extensions)
— Optional % labels next to each line = level identification
— Gold semi-transparent box = Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6% OTE)
— Gold semi-transparent box with "TARGET ZONE" = extension target (−50% to −61.8%)
— TP1–TP4 labels = structured take-profit levels
— Optional diagonal line = swing connection (low-to-high or high-to-low)
Suggested workflow:
— Zoom to the swing you want to analyze — the grid adapts automatically
— In a bullish trend: look for buy entries when price retraces into the Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%), with stop loss below 100% (swing low), targeting TP1 (38.2%) → TP2 (0% / swing high) → TP3 (−27.2%) → TP4 (−61.8%)
— In a bearish trend: look for sell entries when price retraces up into the Entry Zone, stop above swing high, targeting downward extensions
— Use the dashboard to confirm trend direction and monitor whether price is currently in the Entry or Target zone
— Set alerts for zone touches to get notified when price reaches OTE or target levels without watching the chart
Customization tips:
— For a clean chart: enable only 0%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%, −27.2%, −61.8% — this gives you the OTE boundaries, swing anchors, and two extension targets
— For deep analysis: enable all 16 levels to see the full Fibonacci structure
— Adjust Label Offset to move level labels further right if your chart is crowded
— Toggle Show Diagonal Swing Line to visually confirm which high/low pair is being used

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES
— This indicator anchors to the visible chart range — it recalculates when you scroll or zoom. This is a feature, not a bug: it lets you analyze any swing by simply framing it on your screen. However, it means the grid will change if you move the chart.
— Fibonacci levels are not predictive — they are reference points based on the measured swing range. Price may or may not react at any given level.
— The Entry Zone (61.8%–78.6%) is derived from the OTE concept used in ICT/SMC methodology. It represents a high-probability retracement area, but no retracement zone guarantees a reversal.
— Zone alerts require bar-close confirmation and fire once per entry — they do not repeat while price remains in the zone.
— Works across all asset classes and timeframes. No volume data required. Indicator
ICT MMM/AMD (Power of 3) [UAlgo]ICT MMM / AMD (Power of 3) is an intraday market structure framework that models the classic Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution cycle using configurable killzones. The script tracks the Asia range as the accumulation anchor, looks for a liquidity sweep during the London window, waits for a Market Structure Shift confirmation, and then maps a clean entry model using Fair Value Gap logic and optional displacement requirements.
Beyond the core cycle, the indicator provides two additional layers of context:
Previous Day High and Previous Day Low levels for higher timeframe objectives
A dynamic Dealing Range built from recent pivots to visualize premium, discount, and equilibrium
The result is a structured workflow tool that organizes ICT style intraday logic into clear, step by step states with optional filters for cleaner execution.
🔹 Features
1) Session Based Cycle Engine (Killzones)
The script is built around three sessions selected by the user and evaluated in a chosen IANA timezone:
Accumulation window, typically Asia
Manipulation window, typically London
Distribution window, typically New York AM
Each day begins a new cycle at the start of the accumulation session. The script tracks the running high and low during accumulation, then finalizes those boundaries at the end of the session to create the reference range used by later steps.
2) Accumulation Range Mapping
During accumulation, the indicator maintains:
Accumulation High
Accumulation Low
Optional border only box around the session range
Optional ACC label
When the accumulation window ends, the high and low are frozen and drawn as clean horizontal guides using your selected line style and width.
3) Liquidity Sweep Detection With ATR and Tick Filters
During the manipulation window, the indicator checks for a sweep beyond the accumulation boundaries. The sweep threshold is adaptive and uses the larger of:
A minimum tick distance
A minimum ATR based distance
You can also choose whether sweep validation uses wicks or closes:
Wicks uses High and Low
Closes uses Close only
When a sweep is confirmed, the script labels it as BSL sweep if it sweeps above highs, or SSL sweep if it sweeps below lows. Optional sweep level and wick markers can also be drawn for precise reference.
4) Market Structure Shift Confirmation
After a sweep, the script waits for a Market Structure Shift using confirmed pivots. Pivot Length controls strictness. Higher values require cleaner structure and reduce false shifts, at the cost of added confirmation delay.
Bullish MSS is confirmed when price closes above the most recent confirmed pivot high after an SSL sweep
Bearish MSS is confirmed when price closes below the most recent confirmed pivot low after a BSL sweep
Optional MSS break lines can be displayed so you can see the exact level that defined the shift.
5) Displacement Qualification (Optional Gate Before FVG)
Displacement can be required before Fair Value Gap detection. This filter attempts to enforce a strong impulse candle after MSS by checking:
Body to range proportion
Body size relative to ATR
Directional strength by requiring a break beyond the prior candle extreme
This helps separate soft rotations from decisive expansions, which tends to improve FVG quality in many market conditions.
6) Fair Value Gap Detection and Management
After MSS, the script scans a configurable number of bars for a valid FVG.
Bullish FVG condition uses a three candle gap where the current low is above the high two bars ago
Bearish FVG condition uses a three candle gap where the current high is below the low two bars ago
Once an FVG is active, the script draws top and bottom boundary lines and optionally labels it. When price returns into the gap, the script treats it as mitigated. If the remove option is enabled, the FVG drawings are deleted after mitigation to keep the chart clean.
7) Entry Marking With Optional Distribution Filter
When price touches the active FVG, the script can print an ENTRY label and place a stop line.
Entry can be restricted to the distribution window if desired
This can reduce off session prints and align entries with the intended time of day logic
The stop level is anchored to the sweep extreme with an optional tick padding so you can adapt to spread and micro structure noise.
8) Target Framework Per Cycle
Targets are evaluated after MSS using your selected Target Mode:
PDH PDL only
Range only
PDH PDL plus Range
For bullish MSS, targets can include PDH and the accumulation high
For bearish MSS, targets can include PDL and the accumulation low
Target lines update forward and can stop extending once price hits them, keeping the cycle output visually informative without turning into permanent clutter.
9) Dealing Range Premium Discount Map
A Dealing Range is built from the most recent confirmed pivot high and pivot low using a separate pivot length setting. The script then computes:
Premium as the upper boundary
Discount as the lower boundary
Equilibrium as the midpoint
Optional labels mark DR PREMIUM, DR DISCOUNT, and DR EQ (50%) so you can quickly align entries with premium and discount logic.
10) Previous Day High and Low Overlay
PDH and PDL are pulled from the daily timeframe and drawn as global reference levels. These update at each new day and can be displayed with labels. This keeps higher timeframe objectives visible even when trading lower timeframes.
11) Visual Control and Cycle Retention
The indicator offers full control over:
Line styles
Line widths
Whether lines extend into the future
Whether to show boxes, labels, sweep lines, MSS lines, targets, and dealing range
Completed cycles are stored and older cycles are pruned based on Keep Last Cycles. This preserves recent context while keeping object counts under control.
🔹 Calculations
1) Session State Logic
Each session is evaluated using the chart timeframe, the session input, and the selected timezone. A cycle starts when the accumulation session turns on and ends when it turns off.
Conceptually:
inAcc is true when the current bar time falls inside the accumulation session
accStart is the transition from not inAcc to inAcc
accEnd is the transition from inAcc to not inAcc
These transitions control the lifecycle of each MMM cycle object.
2) Accumulation Range Construction
During accumulation, the script continuously updates the running high and low:
accHigh becomes the maximum observed high within the session
accLow becomes the minimum observed low within the session
At accEnd, these values are finalized and turned into horizontal range guides that define the boundaries used for sweep validation and optional range targets.
3) Sweep Threshold Model
Sweep threshold is a conservative maximum of two measurements:
Minimum sweep distance in ticks
Minimum sweep distance as a fraction of ATR
This creates a single threshold thr that adapts to volatility while still respecting a hard minimum in ticks.
Sweep evaluation then compares either:
High and Low if wicks are used
Close if closes are used
A sweep is confirmed when price probes beyond accHigh plus thr or beyond accLow minus thr.
4) MSS Pivot Framework
Confirmed pivots are used for structure shift validation. The script stores the most recent confirmed pivot high and pivot low and their bar indexes.
After a BSL sweep, bearish MSS triggers when close breaks below the last pivot low
After an SSL sweep, bullish MSS triggers when close breaks above the last pivot high
This ensures MSS is a structural confirmation rather than a subjective interpretation.
5) Displacement Filter Metrics
Displacement quality is checked using:
Body size relative to total candle range
Body size relative to ATR
Directional break beyond the previous candle extreme
Only when these requirements pass does the cycle allow the displacement flag, which can be used as a gate for FVG detection when enabled.
6) FVG Definition
The script uses a strict three candle gap model:
Bullish FVG when current low is above the high two bars ago
Bearish FVG when current high is below the low two bars ago
FVG is only searched within a fixed number of bars after MSS, which keeps the model aligned with the intended timing of the intraday cycle.
7) Mitigation and Entry Touch Logic
When an active FVG is present, a touch is defined as price overlapping the gap region. On the first touch:
If entry marking is enabled and the time filter allows it, the script prints ENTRY and places SL
FVG is marked as mitigated and can optionally be removed from the chart
Stop is computed from the sweep wick extreme plus optional tick padding, aligned with the idea that the sweep should remain the invalidation anchor.
8) Target Selection Logic
Targets are chosen based on direction and the Target Mode:
For bullish MSS, PDH can be Target A, accumulation high can be Target B
For bearish MSS, PDL can be Target A, accumulation low can be Target B
Targets are updated forward each bar and can stop extending once hit, which keeps the current cycle readable.
9) Dealing Range Computation
The dealing range uses the latest confirmed pivot high and pivot low:
DR high equals the higher of the two pivot prices
DR low equals the lower of the two pivot prices
DR equilibrium equals the midpoint of DR high and DR low
This provides a clean premium and discount map that updates as new pivots confirm.
10) Previous Day High and Low Retrieval
PDH and PDL are sourced from the daily timeframe using a security call that references the prior day values. They are reset at each new day, ensuring the lines represent the most recent completed daily range. Indicator

Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone [OTE] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Optimal Entry Zone (Zeiierman) is a high-precision market structure tool designed to help traders identify ideal entry zones during trending markets. Built on the principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Fibonacci retracements, this indicator highlights key areas where price is most likely to react — specifically within the "Golden Zone" (between the 50% and 61.8% retracement).
It tracks structural pivot shifts (CHoCH) and dynamically adjusts Fibonacci levels based on real-time swing tracking. Whether you're trading breakouts, pullbacks, or optimal entries, this tool brings unparalleled clarity to structure-based strategies.
Ideal for traders who rely on confluence, this indicator visually synchronizes swing highs/lows, market structure shifts, Fibonacci retracement levels, and trend alignment — all without clutter or lag.
⚪ The Structural Assumption
Price moves in waves, but key retracements often lead to continuation or reversal — especially when aligned with structure breaks and trend shifts.
The Optimal Entry Zone captures this behavior by anchoring Fibonacci levels between recent swing extremes. The most powerful area — the Golden Zone — marks where institutional re-entry is likely, providing traders with a sniper-like roadmap to structure-based entries.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structure Tracking Engine
At its core, the indicator detects pivots and classifies trend direction:
Structure Period – Determines the depth of pivots used to detect swing highs/lows.
CHoCH – Break of structure logic identifies where the trend shifts or continues, marked visually on the chart.
Bullish & Bearish Modes – Independently toggle uptrend and downtrend detection and styling.
⚪ Fibonacci Engine
Upon each confirmed structural shift, Fibonacci retracement levels are projected between swing extremes:
Custom Levels – Choose which retracements (0.50, 0.618, etc.) are shown.
Real-Time Adjustments – When "Swing Tracker" is enabled, levels and labels update dynamically as price forms new swings.
Example:
If you disable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated using the most recent confirmed swing high and low.
If you enable the Swing Tracker, the Golden Level is calculated from the latest swing high or low, making it more adaptive as the trend evolves in real time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Structure-Based Entry
Wait for CHoCH events and use the resulting Fibonacci projection to identify entry points. Enter trades as price taps into the Golden Zone, especially when confluence forms with swing structure or order blocks.
⚪ Real-Time Reaction Tracking
Enable Swing Tracker to keep the tool live — constantly updating zones as price shifts. This is especially useful for scalpers or intraday traders who rely on fresh swing zones.
█ Settings
Structure Period – Number of bars used to define swing pivots. Larger values = stronger structure.
Swing Tracker – Auto-updates fib levels as new highs/lows form.
Show Previous Levels – Keep older fib zones on chart or reset with each structure shift.

Discount/Premium OTE LevelsThis indicator is created to identify discount/premium areas to provide additional confluence to trades taken. The underlying theory is that the trades taken in discounted areas are likely to have less risk due to a smaller stop loss and a higher reward/risk ratio.
The indicator operates by first identifying a zone between the last major swing high and low. These highs and lows are determined as price points that at the extremes within the number of bars to the left, as defined by the "Swing Sensitivity" setting.
Once a price zone is established, the indicator verifies that the zone meets the minimum size in points as configured via the "Minimum size" setting to be considered tradable. Zones that are too small may not provide a sufficient range even for scalping. The default value is 42 points based on Nasdaq, which means that the distance between inner most OTE levels (0.382 and 0.618) is at least 10 points.
When a valid zone is identified, it is then subdivided into areas of interest based on OTE levels, which can be configured/adjusted via the "Levels to Draw" setting. These levels represent the midpoint (50%), which distinguishes between premium and discount, and the three OTE levels 0.79, 0.705, 0.618, above the 50% for discount and below the 50% for premium.
For example, if a zone is formed initially by a swing low followed by a swing high with the assumption that the draw is higher, the indicator can be used to formulate long positions from below the 50% level starting at 0.38 OTE level, or ideally at 0.295 OTE level using 0 as a stop loss. Alternatively, if the 50% level is not yet tapped, short scalp positions can be made from 0.79-0.618 OTE levels with 50% as a partial or TP target.
See for long/short example
Typically, the indicator will show only a single zone. However, there may be cases with two zones: one larger parent zone containing a smaller, valid price zone within itself.
The indicator will automatically invalidate and remove the zone once the high/low of the zone is invalidated.
Configuration:
The indicator provides several visualization options for customization, including:
Color settings for OTE levels, with separate settings for edge/50% color, premium, and discount levels.
Settings for line style for OTE levels.
Settings to determine whether to show prices on level labels.
Settings to decide if lines should be extended to the right.

Monday_Weekly_Range/ErkOzi/Deviation Level/V1"Hello, first of all, I believe that the most important levels to look at are the weekly Fibonacci levels. I have planned an indicator that automatically calculates this. It models a range based on the weekly opening, high, and low prices, which is well-detailed and clear in my scans. I hope it will be beneficial for everyone.
***The logic of the Monday_Weekly_Range indicator is to analyze the weekly price movement based on the trading range formed on Mondays. Here are the detailed logic, calculation, strategy, and components of the indicator:
***Calculation of Monday Range:
The indicator calculates the highest (mondayHigh) and lowest (mondayLow) price levels formed on Mondays.
If the current bar corresponds to Monday, the values of the Monday range are updated. Otherwise, the values are assigned as "na" (undefined).
***Calculation of Monday Range Midpoint:
The midpoint of the Monday range (mondayMidRange) is calculated using the highest and lowest price levels of the Monday range.
***Fibonacci Levels:
// Calculate Fibonacci levels
fib272 = nextMondayHigh + 0.272 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib414 = nextMondayHigh + 0.414 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib500 = nextMondayHigh + 0.5 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib618 = nextMondayHigh + 0.618 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative272 = nextMondayLow - 0.272 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative414 = nextMondayLow - 0.414 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative500 = nextMondayLow - 0.5 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative618 = nextMondayLow - 0.618 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fibNegative1 = nextMondayLow - 1 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
fib2 = nextMondayHigh + 1 * (nextMondayHigh - nextMondayLow)
***Fibonacci levels are calculated using the highest and lowest price levels of the Monday range.
Common Fibonacci ratios such as 0.272, 0.414, 0.50, and 0.618 represent deviation levels of the Monday range.
Additionally, the levels are completed with -1 and +1 to determine at which level the price is within the weekly swing.
***Visualization on the Chart:
The Monday range, midpoint, Fibonacci levels, and other components are displayed on the chart using appropriate shapes and colors.
The indicator provides a visual representation of the Monday range and Fibonacci levels using lines, circles, and other graphical elements.
***Strategy and Usage:
The Monday range represents the starting point of the weekly price movement. This range plays an important role in determining weekly support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci levels are used to identify potential reaction zones and trend reversals. These levels indicate where the price may encounter support or resistance.
