[ A L P H A X ] PIVOT - Smart Money StructureAlphaX PIVOT — Smart Money Structure + OTE Pullback Engine: Market Structure Tracking, Optimal Trade Entry Zones, Liquidity Sweep Detection & 7-Layer Confluence Scoring
AlphaX PIVOT is a professional-grade smart money pullback system built around two of the most powerful concepts in institutional price action: market structure and the Optimal Trade Entry zone. Where breakout-based systems enter at the moment of structural displacement — chasing the move after it has already begun — PIVOT waits for the market to pull back into the precise Fibonacci retracement zone where institutional continuation orders are resting, and fires only when a qualified rejection candle confirms within that zone with multi-layer confluence backing. The result is a system that gives you the same directional conviction as a breakout entry at a structurally superior price — buying the pullback into institutional demand after a bullish BOS or CHoCH, selling the pullback into institutional supply after a bearish structure shift — with a stop anchored to the structural swing low or high rather than an arbitrary ATR distance. Designed for precision-entry traders across crypto, forex, gold, and indices on any timeframe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📐 The Core Philosophy — Why Pull Back to OTE?
A Break of Structure or Change of Character tells you that the market has shifted direction at the institutional level. But the bar that breaks structure is rarely the optimal entry — it has already moved aggressively, the risk/reward from entry is reduced, and a pullback is statistically likely before the continuation begins.
The Optimal Trade Entry concept solves this. After a structural displacement move, price almost always retraces into a specific Fibonacci retracement zone — the 61.8% to 78.6% retracement of the displacement leg — before the next move in the structural direction begins. This zone is where institutional orders waiting at discount prices (in a bull structure) or premium prices (in a bear structure) are filled. Entering in the OTE zone means entering where institutions are entering, with the displacement leg already confirmed as the directional signal and the structural swing as the natural stop reference.
PIVOT detects every structural event, computes the OTE zone for the displacement leg in real time, and monitors for qualified rejection entries within that zone — all while running a 7-layer confluence engine that scores every potential entry before it fires.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏗 Market Structure Engine — Tracking BOS & CHoCH
The market structure engine runs a real-time fractal pivot detection system that tracks the most recent confirmed swing high and swing low on every bar, identifies every Break of Structure and Change of Character event, and maintains a live structural trend state.
Pivot detection:
Swing highs and lows are detected using a configurable pivot length (default: 5 bars each side). A pivot is confirmed when the specified number of bars on both the left and right side are lower (for a pivot high) or higher (for a pivot low). This creates confirmation — not just a local high or low, but a genuine fractal swing point.
Break of Structure (BOS):
When price closes above the most recent confirmed swing high while the structure is already bullish, a bullish BOS is detected — confirming the uptrend is intact and continuing. When price closes below the most recent swing low in a bearish structure, a bearish BOS is confirmed. BOS events are continuation signals — the existing structure is reinforcing itself.
Change of Character (CHoCH):
When price closes above a swing high while the structure is bearish, a bullish CHoCH is detected — the character of the market has changed from bearish to bullish. A bearish CHoCH is the inverse. CHoCH events are the highest-quality structural signals — they represent genuine institutional trend reversals and form the trigger for PIVOT's highest-conviction setup type.
Structure break mode:
The Close Only setting (default: on) requires a candle body close beyond the swing level for a BOS or CHoCH to register. When off, any wick touch counts. Body close is the stricter, cleaner mode — it eliminates false structure breaks caused by wick spikes that fail to close through the level, producing fewer but more reliable structural events.
Live swing levels:
The most recent confirmed swing high (plotted as a red dashed line) and swing low (yellow-green dashed line) are maintained on the chart in real time, extending forward until superseded by a new confirmed pivot. These levels represent the current active liquidity pools — the precise levels where the next sweep event is likely to occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 Structure Leg Box & Equilibrium — The Dealing Range
Every confirmed structure break event spawns a Structure Leg Box — a semi-transparent purple rectangle anchored to the displacement leg that produced the structural event. This box is the visual equivalent of the ANCHOR trend segment box, providing immediate context for the current structural move's price range.
Box construction:
For a bullish structure break, the leg box spans from the previous swing low (the origin of the displacement) to the close that broke structure — capturing the full range of the institutional displacement move. For a bearish structure break, it spans from the previous swing high down to the structure break close.
Equilibrium line:
The midpoint of the structure leg box — the 50% retracement level — is plotted as a purple dotted line extending forward. This is the leg's equilibrium level and the dividing line between discount (below EQ, favorable for longs) and premium (above EQ, favorable for shorts). The Premium/Discount requirement enforces that PIVOT signals can only fire when price is in the institutionally correct zone relative to this level.
Live updating:
The box expands as the trend develops — if price makes new highs in a bull leg, the box top extends upward. The equilibrium adjusts continuously. This ensures the OTE calculations always reflect the full extent of the current structural leg, not just the initial displacement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 The OTE Zone — Optimal Trade Entry Band
The Optimal Trade Entry zone is a Fibonacci retracement band calculated from the structure leg's high and low — the 61.8% to 78.6% retracement zone (configurable). This is the institutional re-entry zone — the price area where sophisticated traders who missed the initial displacement fill their positions on the pullback.
OTE calculation for bull structure:
OTE Top = Leg High − (Leg Range × OTE Fib Low). Default: Leg High − (Range × 0.618)
OTE Bottom = Leg High − (Leg Range × OTE Fib High). Default: Leg High − (Range × 0.786)
This creates a band in the lower portion of the leg range — price must retrace between 61.8% and 78.6% of the upward displacement before the OTE zone is active.
OTE calculation for bear structure:
OTE Bottom = Leg Low + (Leg Range × OTE Fib Low)
OTE Top = Leg Low + (Leg Range × OTE Fib High)
This creates a band in the upper portion of the leg range — price must retrace between 61.8% and 78.6% of the downward displacement before the OTE zone is active.
Why the 61.8–78.6% zone: The 61.8% (golden ratio) and 78.6% (square root of 0.618) retracement levels are the two most consistently respected Fibonacci levels in institutional price delivery. They represent the deepest pullback levels that remain structurally valid — a retracement beyond 78.6% technically invalidates the structure leg's momentum. Entries within this zone maximize reward (entering near the deepest discount in a bull leg) while minimizing risk (the stop is at the structural swing, not far from the OTE bottom).
OTE zone visualization: A semi-transparent purple box rendered from the leg start bar to two bars beyond the current bar, spanning the OTE top and bottom prices. The zone extends and updates in real time as the leg evolves. The exact OTE band price levels are displayed on the dashboard for immediate reference.
In-OTE detection: The current bar is considered in the OTE zone when the bar's low (for bull setups) reaches within the OTE band, or the bar's high (for bear setups) reaches within the OTE band. This detects the precise moment price has retraced into the optimal entry area.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💧 Liquidity Sweep Detection
The sweep detection engine identifies liquidity grab events relative to recent price extremes, adding an important second dimension to PIVOT's entry context. A sweep is detected when price briefly extends beyond the recent high or low reference level by a minimum ATR depth, then reverses and closes back inside — the classic stop-hunt signature.
Bull sweep: The current bar's low extends below the lowest low of the lookback period (default: 20 bars) by at least the minimum sweep depth (default: 0.1× ATR), and the bar closes above that low and closes bullish (close above open). Sell-side liquidity has been grabbed.
Bear sweep: The high extends above the highest high of the lookback period by at least the minimum depth, and the bar closes below that high and closes bearish. Buy-side liquidity has been grabbed.
Sweep recency: PIVOT accepts sweeps from the current bar or either of the two preceding bars — a three-bar recency window. This accommodates the common scenario where the sweep candle precedes the OTE entry bar by one or two bars, allowing the confluence engine to credit the sweep even when entry occurs slightly after the grab.
Setup B — Sweep + CHoCH: When a sweep occurs within 40 bars of a Change of Character event and price is simultaneously in the OTE zone with a rejection candle, PIVOT's second setup type fires — the Sweep + CHoCH entry. This is the highest-conviction entry type: a CHoCH confirms the structural reversal, the sweep confirms institutional liquidity accumulation, and the OTE entry delivers the optimal price. All three institutional signals converging simultaneously.
Sweep markers (optional): Small orange circles can be plotted above or below bars where sweeps are detected. Off by default — sweeps count toward confluence scoring regardless of whether markers are displayed — but enabling them provides visual awareness of every liquidity event on the chart.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯 Rejection Candle Confirmation
Every PIVOT entry requires a qualifying rejection candle within the OTE zone — the candle that demonstrates price has touched the OTE level and been rejected back in the structural direction.
Bull rejection (Bullish Rejection or Engulfing):
Bullish Rejection — the bar closes bullish (close above open) and the close-to-low distance represents more than 55% of the bar's total range. The lower wick consumes the majority of the bar's range — buyers overwhelmed sellers that pushed into the OTE zone
Bullish Engulfing — a bullish close that fully engulfs the prior bearish candle — closing above the prior open while the prior candle was bearish. Confirms a clean reversal of the pullback momentum
Bear rejection (Bearish Rejection or Engulfing):
The mirror conditions — a bearish close with the high-to-close distance exceeding 55% of range, or a bearish engulfing of the prior bullish candle.
Why candle confirmation is essential: The OTE zone being touched is a necessary but not sufficient condition for entry. Price can drift through the OTE zone on low momentum without producing a genuine reversal. The rejection candle requirement ensures that the OTE touch produced a visible institutional response — not just a passive drift through the zone.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 The 7-Layer Confluence Engine
Every potential entry is evaluated across seven independent confluence layers. The default minimum is 5 of 7 — a high-quality gate that blocks setups where several dimensions of confirmation are missing.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 1 — Market Structure Direction
Awards 1 point when the current structural trend agrees with the signal direction — bullish structure for longs (structure == 1), bearish for shorts. This is also a hard prerequisite enforced in the setup conditions — no PIVOT signal can fire without the structural trend being established in the signal direction. Structure is simultaneously a confluence layer and a foundational entry requirement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 2 — OTE Zone Touch
Awards 1 point when the current bar is within the OTE retracement band for the active leg direction — the 61.8–78.6% retracement zone. Also a hard prerequisite in the setup conditions. Ensures the entry is at the institutionally optimal retracement depth, not at an arbitrary price within the leg range.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 3 — Premium/Discount Zone
Awards 1 point when price is in the correct zone relative to the leg equilibrium — below EQ (discount) for bull entries, above EQ (premium) for bear entries. The PD Zone layer enforces the institutional entry positioning principle: buy when price is cheap relative to the leg's fair value, sell when expensive. A valid OTE touch in the wrong PD zone (above EQ for a bull entry) carries a fundamental positioning problem — this layer blocks it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 4 — HTF Bias
Awards 1 point when the higher timeframe EMA structure (default: 60-minute, 21/55 EMA) agrees with the signal direction, using the same strict condition as SURGE and ANCHOR — the HTF fast EMA must be above the slow EMA and the HTF close must be above the fast EMA for a bull vote. A bull OTE entry against a bearish HTF is a counter-trend trade; this layer ensures PIVOT's signals align with the macro institutional flow.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 5 — Liquidity Sweep
Awards 1 point when a qualifying sweep has occurred within the three-bar recency window in the correct direction. A sweep before or coinciding with the OTE entry dramatically increases the probability that the pullback is a genuine institutional accumulation event rather than a mechanical retracement. When the Sweep Filter is disabled, this layer is not available for scoring — the total achievable score drops to 6 of 6 in that configuration.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 6 — Rejection Candle
Awards 1 point when a qualifying bull rejection or bullish engulfing candle (long) or bear rejection or bearish engulfing candle (short) is present on the current bar. This is the candle confirmation layer — confirming that the institutional response to the OTE touch is visible and decisive on the current bar.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layer 7 — ADX + Volume Expansion
Awards 1 point when both the ADX filter and the volume expansion filter pass simultaneously. ADX confirms the market has directional strength rather than ranging. Volume exceeding the moving average confirms genuine institutional participation on the entry candle rather than a low-activity drift through the OTE zone. Both conditions must be true for the single layer point — they are evaluated jointly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷 Two Setup Types — A and B
PIVOT fires signals through two distinct setup configurations, each representing a different institutional entry scenario. Both can be enabled simultaneously.
Setup A — OTE Pullback:
The foundational PIVOT setup. Fires when the market structure is established (BOS or CHoCH has confirmed), the displacement leg is active, price pulls back into the 61.8–78.6% OTE zone, a rejection candle forms within the zone, and the full confluence stack meets the minimum score. This is the highest-frequency setup type — it captures the standard institutional pullback sequence following any qualifying structure event.
Setup B — Sweep + CHoCH:
The premium PIVOT setup. Requires all Setup A conditions plus a Change of Character within the lookback window (40 bars) and a qualifying liquidity sweep within the three-bar recency window. The sequence is: liquidity sweep (stop hunt) → CHoCH (structural reversal confirmation) → OTE pullback (optimal entry). When all three institutional events converge simultaneously in the OTE zone with a rejection candle, this is among the highest-conviction setups available in the entire AlphaX indicator suite.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 Structural Stop Loss Placement
PIVOT uses structurally anchored stop placement — the stop is placed beyond the most recent confirmed swing low (for bull entries) or swing high (for bear entries), plus a small configurable ATR buffer (default: 0.25× ATR).
Why this is the correct stop for OTE entries: The OTE entry is made on the premise that the structural swing low (bull) or high (bear) will hold — it is the key level whose violation would invalidate the entire structural thesis. If price closes through the swing low after a bull OTE entry, the structure leg is negated, the displacement was a false break, and the position thesis is fundamentally wrong. The structural swing is therefore not an arbitrary stop choice — it is the precise price at which the trade is provably wrong.
This produces stops that adapt naturally to the leg size: large legs with distant swings produce wider stops and wider profit targets; tight legs with nearby swings produce tighter, higher-precision entries. The risk/reward is computed dynamically as `(close − slGuide) × TP Reward (R)`.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 How to Trade with AlphaX PIVOT — Step by Step
Step 1 — Identify the Structural Context
Check the dashboard Market Struct row. ▲ BULLISH or ▼ BEARISH tells you the directional bias. — NEUTRAL means no structure is established — no setup can develop
Note the Swing Hi and Swing Lo levels on the dashboard. These are the current liquidity pools and structural stop references
Check HTF Bias — does the higher timeframe agree with the current structure? HTF alignment is worth 1 confluence point and significantly improves setup quality
Step 2 — Watch for a Structure Event
A large bright ▲ CHoCH triangle below the bar marks a bullish Change of Character — the highest-priority structural event. The structure leg box and OTE zone will draw immediately
A smaller ▲ BOS triangle marks a bullish Break of Structure — confirmation the trend is continuing
After either event, the Structure Leg Box and OTE Band are drawn in real time. Note where the OTE zone sits in absolute price terms from the dashboard's OTE Band row
Step 3 — Wait for the OTE Pullback
After the displacement, watch price retrace toward the OTE zone. The purple OTE box on the chart gives you the exact price boundaries
Check PD Zone on the dashboard — for bull entries, you want ◧ DISCOUNT to confirm price is below the leg equilibrium when it enters the OTE
Watch the live B x/7 score label near the OTE zone. As price approaches the zone, the score builds in real time
Step 4 — Enter on the PIVOT Signal
A ▲ triangle at the OTE zone confirms all conditions — structure direction, OTE touch, PD zone, HTF bias, sweep (if applicable), rejection candle, and ADX/volume
The SL guide is plotted below the structural swing low (bull) — your structural invalidation level
The TP guide is plotted at the computed reward target based on your configured R multiple
For Setup B signals (Sweep + CHoCH), all three institutional events have converged — this is the highest-conviction PIVOT entry available
Step 5 — Manage and Exit
At the TP guide level, take partial or full profit
If a new CHoCH fires in the opposite direction during the trade, the structure has reversed — this is the exit signal for any remaining position
If price retests the OTE zone again during the same structural leg without triggering a new signal (cooldown active), wait for the cooldown to clear and assess whether the fresh confluence score still meets the minimum
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Low-Quality Conditions — When Not to Trade
Stand aside when:
Market Struct shows — NEUTRAL — no structural direction is established. Without a confirmed BOS or CHoCH, the leg box and OTE zone have no directional context. Wait for a structural event to occur before looking for OTE entries
HTF Bias opposes structure direction — a bullish current timeframe structure against a bearish HTF is a counter-trend setup. These carry significantly lower success rates. The HTF alignment layer will not score, reducing the confluence count
Price is in the wrong PD zone for the setup direction — a bull entry above the leg equilibrium (premium) or a bear entry below (discount) means entering when price is institutionally expensive relative to the leg's fair value. The PD zone filter blocks these when enabled
Score is at 4/7 and the minimum is 5/7 — the setup is present but not enough layers confirm. Do not force entries when confluence is borderline
Structure events (BOS/CHoCH) are flipping rapidly in both directions — alternating bull and bear structure events in quick succession indicate a choppy market with no clean trend. The OTE zones will be constantly resetting without producing completed pullback sequences
OTE zone is very close to the swing low (bull) or swing high (bear) — when the OTE band and the structural stop reference are nearly at the same price, the risk/reward is poor. The stop would be just below the OTE entry. Reduce position size or pass the setup
The ideal PIVOT setup:
CHoCH event followed by a clean displacement leg with a well-defined leg box
Price retraces into the OTE zone while in discount (bull) or premium (bear)
A qualifying sweep has occurred within the last three bars
HTF Bias aligned with structure direction
Rejection candle forms within the OTE zone
Confluence score at 6/7 or 7/7
ADX confirms trending and volume is expanding

🎯 Recommended Settings by Instrument & Timeframe
The default configuration is optimized for XAUUSD on M5–M15 , with general suitability for major forex pairs and crypto on the same timeframes:
Pivot Length at 5 — the classic fractal sensitivity for intraday gold and forex. Balances signal frequency with structural significance
Close Only on — body close structure breaks eliminate the vast majority of wick-based false breaks on gold and volatile instruments
Setup B (Sweep + CHoCH) on — the highest-quality setups on gold involve a sweep before the CHoCH, making this setup type particularly effective on XAUUSD
HTF at 60-minute — the standard intraday reference for M5–M15 trading
ADX filter off by default — the OTE + rejection candle requirements already provide strong quality filtering without needing ADX as an additional gate
For other instruments or timeframes, adjust:
M1–M3 scalping — reduce Pivot Length to 3, increase Cooldown to 5, reduce TP Reward to 1.5, use tight session filter
H1–H4 swing trading — increase Pivot Length to 7–10, set HTF to Daily or Weekly, increase TP Reward to 3.0–4.0, increase SL Buffer to 0.5
Crypto (BTC, ETH) — increase Sweep Depth to 0.2–0.3× ATR for the wider wicks typical of crypto, consider enabling ADX filter at 20
Indices (NAS100, US30) — use Pivot Length 5–7, enable Session Filter to 09:30–16:00, enable ADX filter
More signals — lower Min Confluence to 4, disable PD Zone requirement, enable Setup A only, reduce Cooldown
Ultra-selective entries only — raise Min Confluence to 6 or 7, require Setup B only, enable ADX filter, enable Volume Expansion
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👥 Who This Is For
🎯 OTE and Fibonacci pullback traders — PIVOT is the definitive quantitative implementation of the Optimal Trade Entry framework. Every component — structure detection, leg computation, Fibonacci zone rendering, and rejection confirmation — is automated and scored
🏦 Smart money concepts and ICT methodology traders — PIVOT encodes the CHoCH → displacement → OTE pullback sequence that forms the core of ICT's entry model. The Sweep + CHoCH setup type specifically captures the stop hunt → reversal → optimal entry sequence
🥇 Gold (XAUUSD) and forex traders — the default settings are calibrated for intraday gold trading, where OTE pullbacks after CHoCH events are among the most consistent institutional patterns available
📊 Traders who want structure-defined risk — the structural stop placement means every trade has a stop at a genuinely meaningful level — the swing that would invalidate the structure thesis — rather than an arbitrary ATR distance
🧠 Systematic traders who want to quantify OTE entries — the 7-layer scoring system removes subjectivity from OTE trading. Every potential entry is scored objectively against the same seven criteria on every bar
📈 Traders who want to enter later at a better price — PIVOT's entire philosophy is about waiting for the pullback. If you consistently enter at breakouts and then watch price retrace before continuing, PIVOT is the solution — it waits for that retracement and enters at the optimal Fibonacci level within it
⚠ Traders who struggle with stop placement — the structural swing reference + ATR buffer produces a stop that makes structural sense. You are not guessing where to put the stop — the market's structure tells you exactly where it belongs

All signals are confirmed on bar close — the indicator is non-repainting by design. Pivot detection, structure break logic, OTE zone calculation, and confluence scoring all finalize on confirmed bars only
The pivot detection has an inherent offset of pivotLen bars — a pivot is only confirmed after pivotLen bars have passed on both sides. This is standard behavior for fractal-based pivot systems and is not repainting — it is the mathematical requirement for confirming the fractal pattern
The Structure Leg Box and OTE Zone are redrawn only on the last bar for chart cleanliness. Historical bars retain signal markers and BOS/CHoCH labels but do not show outdated box overlays
The CHoCH window for Setup B (40 bars) means a Sweep + CHoCH setup can fire up to 40 bars after the CHoCH event, as long as the OTE zone is still valid and all other conditions are met. On slower timeframes this window covers a wider clock-time range — adjust if needed
The confluence label near the OTE zone is drawn only on the last bar. It is a real-time awareness tool, not a historical indicator
Maximum 500 labels, 500 lines, and 80 boxes are rendered. On very active charts, the oldest markers may be removed by PulseWire's limits
The session filter is off by default — PIVOT's structural approach is timeframe and session-agnostic. Enable the session filter for instruments where specific sessions (London, NY) produce more reliable structure events
The TP guide is computed dynamically as risk × R multiple. On bars where the swing reference and current price are very close (producing near-zero risk), the fallback is ATR × R multiple

Support & Resistances&r mtf is a support and resistance indicator designed to display clean zones directly on the chart.
the script automatically detects support zones from pivot lows and resistance zones from pivot highs. each zone is displayed with a rectangle, a dotted center line, and an optional label.
the goal is to help the trader identify important areas where price may react, reject, break, or come back for a retest.
the mtf version allows zones from a higher timeframe to be displayed on a lower timeframe. for example, daily zones can be displayed on an h1, 30 minute, or 15 minute chart.
this script is not an automatic buy or sell system. it is designed to read market structure, prepare decision zones, and avoid trading without context.

how the script works
the script creates a resistance zone when a pivot high is confirmed.
the script creates a support zone when a pivot low is confirmed.
a resistance is valid only when it is above the current price.
a support is valid only when it is below the current price.
if two support zones touch or are too close, they are merged and the lowest support is kept.
if two resistance zones touch or are too close, they are merged and the highest resistance is kept.
if price breaks a zone with the selected break conditions, the zone can be removed and an alert can be triggered.
chart mode
chart mode uses the current chart timeframe.
example:
if the chart is on 30 minutes, the zones are calculated from the 30 minute chart pivots.
this mode is useful for reading the exact timeframe you are trading.
mtf mode
mtf mode calculates zones from a higher timeframe and displays them on the current chart.
example:
you are on an h1 chart.
you enable mtf mode.
you choose the daily timeframe.
the script displays daily zones directly on the h1 chart.
this helps keep major market zones visible while trading intraday.
mtf use case example
if you trade on 30 minutes, you can display daily zones.
this helps avoid buying directly under a daily resistance or selling directly above a daily support.
mtf zones are often more important than small lower timeframe zones because they come from a wider market structure.
beginner tutorial
step 1: enable the module
enable the support and resistance module.
if the mode is set to chart, the script uses the current chart timeframe.
if the mode is set to mtf, the script uses the timeframe selected in the mtf settings.
step 2: choose the mode
use chart if you want zones from the current timeframe.
use mtf if you want to see zones from a higher timeframe.
simple example:
for scalping on 10 minutes, display h1 or daily zones.
for trading on h1, display daily zones.
for trading on h4, display daily or weekly zones.
step 3: watch support zones
support zones are located below price.
a support can be used as an area of interest to look for a bullish reaction.
a beginner can wait for a wick rejection, a bullish close, or a reclaim above the zone before looking for a possible long setup.
step 4: watch resistance zones
resistance zones are located above price.
a resistance can be used as an area of interest to look for a bearish reaction.
a beginner can wait for rejection, a bearish close, or a failed breakout before looking for a possible short setup.
step 5: do not trade a zone alone
a zone is not an automatic signal.
you should wait for confirmation.
possible confirmations:
price reaction
wick rejection
clean close
volume
trend alignment
confirmed breakout
zone retest
step 6: use the merge logic
if several zones touch or are too close, the script groups them together.
this helps avoid a chart filled with useless overlapping zones.
for supports, the lowest level is kept.
for resistances, the highest level is kept.
step 7: use the minimum distance setting
minimum distance helps prevent zones from being created too close to each other.
if you lower the distance, the script accepts more zones.
if you increase the distance, the chart becomes cleaner and more selective.
even if the minimum distance is low, two zones that really touch should remain merged.
input explanation
enable s/r module
turns the support and resistance module on or off.
zone source mode
selects the source of the zones.
chart uses the current timeframe.
mtf uses the selected higher timeframe.
mtf zone timeframe
selects the timeframe used to calculate mtf zones.
example:
daily to display daily zones on h1 or 30 minute charts.
weekly to display weekly zones on h4 or daily charts.
pivot length
controls pivot sensitivity.
a lower value creates more zones and reacts faster.
a higher value creates fewer zones but makes them more selective.
number of visible zones
sets the maximum number of visible zones.
a lower value gives a cleaner chart.
a higher value shows more historical structure.
show s/r labels
shows or hides zone labels.
labels can display the zone type, percentage distance, and force value.
show only 2 active zones
keeps only the latest active resistance and the latest active support.
this is useful for a very clean chart.
minimum distance between zones
sets the minimum space between zones.
the higher the value, the fewer close zones will remain.
the lower the value, the more close zones the script accepts.
zone left extension
extends zones to the left.
this helps show the visual origin of a zone.
zone right extension
extends zones to the right.
this projects the zones into the future.
confirm breaks only on candle close
when enabled, a break is confirmed only after the candle closes.
this reduces false breaks during a live candle.
break equals full body outside zone plus strong candle
when enabled, the script requires the full candle body to close outside the zone with enough strength.
this makes break detection stricter.
max doji body to range
defines when a candle is considered a doji.
a doji is a candle with a small body.
doji candles can be ignored to avoid weak break signals.
min strength body to range
defines the minimum body size compared to the full candle range.
a higher value requires a stronger candle.
min strength body greater or equal atr multiplier
defines the minimum body strength compared to atr.
the higher the value, the stronger the break candle must be.
show force percent
shows the zone penetration force inside the label.
cap force percent
limits the displayed force value to avoid very large numbers.
max cap percent
sets the maximum displayed value when the force cap is enabled.
alert break resistance
enables the alert when a resistance zone is broken.
alert break support
enables the alert when a support zone is broken.
bullish use case example
price comes back to a support zone.
the support remains below price.
the market shows a bullish reaction.
a rejection candle appears.
the trader can then watch for a possible long setup, especially if the general trend is bullish.
bearish use case example
price comes back to a resistance zone.
the resistance remains above price.
the market shows rejection.
a bearish candle appears.
the trader can then watch for a possible short setup, especially if the general trend is bearish.
mtf example
you trade on h1.
you enable mtf mode.
you choose daily.
daily zones appear on the h1 chart.
if price reaches a daily resistance, the trader avoids buying too late.
if price returns to a daily support, the trader watches for a possible reaction.
beginner tips
do not trade every zone automatically.
always wait for price reaction.
avoid buying directly below resistance.
avoid selling directly above support.
use mtf zones as major decision areas.
always use a stop loss.
use proper position sizing.
combine the zones with trend, volume, candlesticks, and market structure.
important note
this script does not guarantee results.
supports can break.
resistances can break.
the best use of this tool is to treat it as a map of important market zones, combined with strict risk management and personal confirmation before each trade.
Indicator
High/Low Resistance LiquidityDescription
Not all liquidity pools are created equal. The market behaves very differently when attacking a clean, pristine target versus when it is grinding through jagged, already-swept price action.
The High/Low Resistance Liquidity indicator is an automated structural mapping engine that programmatically identifies and categorizes liquidity pools into Low Resistance (LRLR) and High Resistance (HRLR) targets in real-time.
🎯 What is LRLR and HRLR?
LRLR (Low Resistance Liquidity Run): These are "clean" targets. When stops are perfectly clustered at the exact same price, it creates a massive, unobstructed magnetic pull for price. When price attacks these areas, it displaces quickly and aggressively.
HRLR (High Resistance Liquidity Run): These are "dirty" or swept targets. If a pivot high has already swept a previous high and rejected (a false breakout or sweep), the liquidity resting there was already purged. Price will struggle, chop, and overlap heavily if it attempts to push back into that isolated zone.
✨ Key Features
Automated Target Detection: The indicator maps structural highs and lows using customizable left/right bar pivot confirmations, and immediately evaluates their relationship to the previous market structure.
EQH/EQL Detection (LRLR): If a new structural pivot forms within a tight tick threshold of the previous pivot, it validates them as Equal Highs or Equal Lows. A solid, highly visible line is drawn forward, marking a pristine Low Resistance target.
Swept Pivot Detection (HRLR): If a new pivot extends past the old pivot and reverses, it validates a sweep. A dotted warning line is drawn forward, marking a High Resistance target where price is likely to struggle.
Real-Time Mitigation: The script actively monitors price action. The exact moment a future candle wicks or closes through an active liquidity line, the line stops extending and its label updates to "Mitigated", keeping your charts completely free of historical clutter.
Standard Liquidity Toggle: Choose whether you only want to see explicit LRLR/HRLR targets, or if you want to also track all standard, unmitigated intermediate pivots in the background.
⚙️ Settings
Pivot Strength: Fully customize how many bars are required left and right to confirm a major structural point.
EQH/EQL Tolerance (Ticks): You dictate exactly how tight the price must align to be considered "Equal". (e.g., 5-10 ticks on lower timeframes, or expand it for Daily charts).
Display Settings: Toggle the visibility of Standard Unmitigated Pivots, turn text labels on or off, and fully customize the line colors to fit your exact chart aesthetic.
Indicator
High / Low Resistance Liquidity TrendDescription
This indicator is a powerful, algorithmic tool designed for HRLR methodologies. It removes the subjectivity of identifying High Resistance Liquidity Runs (HRLR) and Low Resistance Liquidity Runs (LRLR) by dynamically mapping out the structural flow of liquidity on your chart using clean, point-to-point trendlines.
🎯 Core Concepts
In this methodology, understanding whether price will face "resistance" when drawing to a liquidity pool is critical for trade management:
Low Resistance Liquidity (LRLR): Clean, engineered liquidity. When price fails to sweep a previous structural extreme, it leaves behind smooth, resting stop-losses. This acts as a frictionless magnet for price.
High Resistance Liquidity (HRLR): Swept liquidity. When price violently takes out a previous extreme and reverses, it purges the local stop-losses. Returning to this level is a "High Resistance" run because the liquidity fuel has already been burned.
⚙️ How It Works
The script evaluates price action in real-time, detecting structural Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows. It then dynamically draws trendlines connecting adjacent pivots to reveal the underlying liquidity texture:
🟢 LRLR (Green Lines) - Failed Sweeps:
Highs: Connects a Pivot High to a subsequent Lower High.
Lows: Connects a Pivot Low to a subsequent Higher Low.
Signal: Clean trendline liquidity is building. Expect a fast, low-resistance run through this level.
🔴 HRLR (Red Lines) - Liquidity Sweeps:
Highs: Connects a Pivot High to a subsequent Higher High.
Lows: Connects a Pivot Low to a subsequent Lower Low.
Signal: A Turtle Soup / Sweep has occurred. Price may struggle to break this extreme cleanly.
✨ Visual Polish
This indicator is built with extreme attention to aesthetic detail. Rather than messy labels cluttering the wicks, the text (LRLR / HRLR) is mathematically positioned at the exact midpoint of the connecting trendlines. It features a custom Label Masking engine that dynamically cuts out the line exactly where the text sits, providing a stunning, ultra-clean look. (Note: Use the 'Chart Background Color' setting to ensure the label mask matches your specific PulseWire theme).
🔧 Settings
Pivot Left/Right Bars: Fully customize the structural lookback to define exactly what constitutes a valid swing high/low for your timeframe.
Visual Customization: Full control over colors and text labels.
Chart Background Mask: Allows you to swap the label cutout color between Light Mode and Dark Mode backgrounds flawlessly.
Indicator
Over Extension LinesTakes yesterday's range and projects it onto today to show where price is overcooked. It grabs the prior day's high, low, and range, throws up extension levels above and below, and draws the 9:30 to 9:45 opening range on top. When price tags an extension it's stretched relative to what yesterday actually did, which is where moves tend to stall or turn. Use the extensions as reversion targets and exhaustion spots, and the opening range as your first structure of the day. The prior-day numbers come off the last completed daily bar, so that reference doesn't repaint.
Indicator
GBR S/R Lines and 4h AlertGBR Dynamic S/R Lines & 4H Alerts is a purpose-built, institutional-grade indicator designed for prop firm traders and day traders who need absolute precision without chart clutter.
Instead of getting chopped up in lower timeframe noise, this indicator automatically identifies major liquidity pools and pivot points. Its most powerful feature is the Forced Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Logic: it calculates the higher-timeframe structural levels (default: 4-Hour) and projects them directly onto your active execution chart (e.g., 1m, 5m, or 15m).
🔥 Key Features:
Forced 4H Levels: Never lose sight of the macro picture. See where the "big money" steps in while trading on the micro timeframes.
Zero Clutter: Stripped of messy vertical connecting lines. It only plots clean, unbroken horizontal S/R lines.
Dynamic Price Labels: Automatically updates and displays the exact price value of the active Support/Resistance levels on the right side of the chart.
Built-in Sniper Alerts: Set it and forget it. Includes pre-configured alert conditions that trigger the exact moment the price tests a critical structural level.
Fully Customizable: Adjust the pivot sensitivity (Left/Right bars) to filter out minor swings and only focus on major turning points.
🎯 How to use:
Treat this indicator as your radar. Keep it running in the background, wait for the push alert to trigger at a major 4H zone, and then execute your standard entry setups (reversals or breakouts) on your lower timeframe with maximum confidence.

ORB Sessions Pro - Premarket + NY Open# ORB Sessions Pro
## Overview
ORB Sessions Pro is designed to help traders visualize and compare two of the most important auction periods of the trading day:
• Premarket Opening Range (08:00–09:00 ET)
• New York Open Opening Range (09:30 ET)
Rather than treating every market open the same, this indicator allows traders to study how price responds to different auction periods and how those ranges influence the remainder of the session.
The goal is not to generate buy or sell signals.
The goal is to provide objective auction reference points that help traders understand where price is being accepted, rejected, and potentially migrating throughout the day.
---
## Features
• Independent Premarket and NY Open ORBs
• Selectable NY Open range lengths (5, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes)
• Display ORB levels only or extend them through the trading session
• Historical average ORB calculations
• Integrated ORB Sessions Dashboard
• Session range utilization tracking
• Custom colors, line styles, and label options
• Lightweight design with a clean chart presentation
---
## ORB Sessions Dashboard
The integrated dashboard provides quick insight into current market conditions without requiring additional calculations.
The dashboard displays:
• Premarket ORB size and historical average
• NY Open ORB size and historical average
• Average session range
• Current session range
• Percentage of average range already completed
• Remaining range based on historical averages
This allows traders to quickly determine whether the market has already completed a typical daily move or may still have room for expansion.
By combining opening range information with current range statistics, traders gain additional context about auction development throughout the session.
---
## How I Use It
The Opening Range is one of the simplest ways to identify where early market participants found value.
When price remains inside the ORB, the market is often balanced.
When price accepts above or below the ORB, it can signal initiative activity and the potential for directional movement.
The Premarket ORB often highlights overnight inventory and areas of acceptance before the cash session begins.
The NY Open ORB helps identify where institutional participation enters the market and can provide important reference levels throughout the day.
These levels become even more meaningful when combined with market context, volume profile, and value migration.

## Best Used With
• VWAP
• Volume Profile
• Auction Market Theory (AMT)
• Market Structure Analysis
• Balance and Imbalance Concepts
• Acceptance and Rejection Analysis

## Traders Workshop Philosophy
Most traders spend their time reacting to price.
This indicator was built to help traders understand the auction taking place behind the price movement.

Whale Absorption Profile [JOAT]WHALE ABSORPTION PROFILE
The flagship orderflow visual in the JOAT suite. A complete institutional-grade footprint dashboard — heatmap candle strips, horizontal volume profile, delta ladder, side histogram, POC/VAH/VAL lines, and whale / absorption / imbalance glyphs — all driven by the same underlying lower-timeframe-reconstructed intrabar data and rendered in a curated asthetics. Built to give you the entire auction picture in one indicator, on chart, without a dedicated orderflow platform.
Six visual layers, one engine
Every layer reads from the same intrabar data pipeline. The pipeline uses request.security_lower_tf at a configurable LTF (1m / 3m / 5m / 15m / 30m) to sample sub-bar prints, classifies each via the standard tick rule, then buckets the classified volume into a price-binned profile (configurable rows, default 50). Every layer below reads from those bins.
Heatmap candle strips — the body of each recent chart candle is overlaid with horizontal heat slices coloured along an absorption-intensity ramp (deep blue → indigo → violet → magenta → gold). At a glance you can see where, inside each bar, the auction happened.
Horizontal volume profile — a classic side profile of total volume per bin, rendered with split buy/sell colour so you can read which side dominated each price.
Delta ladder column — a vertical ladder of per-bin delta (buy − sell), positionable to any of nine corners on the chart. Drawn as a horizontal-going-left-to-right cell array so it never collides with the dashboard.
Side volume histogram — a compact buy/sell volume histogram aligned to the profile bins, for traders who want a second view of side-share that is not contaminated by total volume.
POC / VAH / VAL lines — the Point of Control, Value Area High, and Value Area Low computed from the profile and rendered as horizontal lines that extend right of the latest bar.
Whale / Absorption / Imbalance glyphs — three separate detection layers (described below) each render a distinct on-chart glyph at the bin where their condition fires.
A Lite Mode toggle disables the heaviest layers (heatmap strips + side histogram) for low-end machines or multi-indicator stacking.
Three orthogonal detection layers
Whale Print — a bin qualifies as a whale row when total bin volume is above a configurable percentile (default 95th of the bin distribution) and is above the whale-delta threshold (default 70%). Both gates: large and one-sided.
Absorption Zone — score = min(buy, sell) / (priceMovement + ε) . High when both sides traded heavily but price did not move — the classic limit-order-absorption signature. A bin qualifies when its absorption score exceeds the configurable percentile (default 90th).
Imbalance Spike — a bin qualifies when one side's volume is at least N× the other (default 3.0×). The standard footprint imbalance ratio.
These three are deliberately separate — a single price can be a whale row, an absorption zone, and an imbalance spike at once, in which case all three glyphs fire and you have a textbook stacked-signature read.
POC shift alert
The Point of Control's bar-to-bar bin-distance is tracked. When the POC jumps more than the configurable POC Shift: Bin Distance Trigger (default 2 bins) between consecutive bars, the POC Shift alert fires — the auction's value has rotated price levels, which is the most actionable single regime-change signal a profile produces.
Visual aesthetic
A locked institutional palette: cyan-teal bull (#5CF0D7), magenta bear (#FF4D75), and a signature absorption ramp — deep void → ultramarine → indigo → violet → magenta → gold — designed to read like a heat-mapped orderbook on a deep-space background (#02011A). The four multi-stop gradients drive heatmap, absorption, delta, and whale layers independently, so the chart never looks visually flat.
Dashboard
Monospaced table, positionable to any of nine corners, with row-fade gradient. Surfaces:
Current POC price + bin distance from previous POC.
VAH / VAL price levels.
Cumulative bar delta.
Whale print count, absorption zone count, imbalance spike count in the lookback.
Current row classifications for the active price (Whale / Absorption / Imbalance).
LTF in use and bin count.
Alerts
Four alert conditions, each independently controllable:
Whale Print
Absorption Zone
Imbalance Spike
POC Shift (bin distance > threshold)
How to read it
Three reads, in order of conviction:
Stacked detection at the same bin — when a bin fires Whale + Absorption + Imbalance simultaneously, the auction has experienced a complete event: large size, both sides traded heavily, and the side imbalance was extreme. These are the rarest and strongest reads the script produces.
POC Shift through a previous structural level — value migration. The auction's centre of gravity has just moved through your S/R; the rest of the session usually follows.
Heatmap candle strip + delta ladder agreement — when the heatmap concentration sits at the same price the delta ladder shows one-sided imbalance, the bar is institutionally meaningful regardless of the candle shape.
Suggested settings
Defaults (1m LTF, 50 bins, 40-bar lookback, 95th percentile gates) are tuned for 5m–15m on liquid futures and crypto. For 1m scalping, drop bins to 30 and lookback to 20 to keep the script responsive. For 1H+ HTF, raise lookback to 100 and bins to 60. Lite Mode is recommended when stacking with other heavy indicators.
Originality
The implementation — the unified intrabar pipeline that feeds six independent visual layers, the percentile-gated whale detector, the min(buy,sell) / priceMovement absorption score, the diagonal-imbalance row detector, the multi-stop absorption gradient (six-stop signature ramp), the configurable delta ladder with nine-corner positioning, the POC bin-distance shift detector, and the grade composite palette — is JOAT-original. No third-party code reused. The footprint vocabulary (POC, VAH/VAL, imbalance, absorption, whale) is public-domain auction-theory language; this implementation is purpose-built for Pine v6 with bar data only.
Limitations
Reconstructed intrabar data is an approximation — the tick rule is the accepted public-market inference but it is not a direct read of bid/ask. Sub-minute LTFs require a PulseWire Premium or Ultimate plan. The script renders many polylines, boxes, and labels — Pine's max_polylines_count / max_boxes_count / max_labels_count caps apply. Lite Mode exists specifically for low-spec / multi-indicator scenarios. POC, VAH, VAL, and detection layers are computed from confirmed intrabar data so they update on bar-by-bar close (non-repainting beyond the current developing bar).

PokoTrader - SMC + Supertrend ConfluenceThis indicator combines LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts market-structure toolkit with the
classic Supertrend trend filter, then adds a confluence layer that highlights the moments
where the two agree.
CREDITS & LICENSE
- Smart Money Concepts logic is © LuxAlgo, published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. This script is
a derivative work released under the same license (open-source, non-commercial, share-alike).
- The Supertrend component is ported to Pine v5 from the widely used Pine v4 "Supertrend"
by KivancOzbilgic.
All original work belongs to those authors; this publication only adds the integration layer
described below.
WHAT IT DRAWS
- Full SMC suite: internal & swing structure (BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, fair value gaps,
equal highs/lows, strong/weak swing points, premium-discount zones and multi-timeframe levels.
- Supertrend trend line, buy/sell flip markers and trend highlighter.
WHAT THIS MASHUP ADDS (original contribution)
1. Confluence engine - a star marker prints only when a Supertrend flip lines up with a recent
CHoCH/BOS, an order-block tap, or a fresh fair value gap. A single dynamic alert reports which
components agreed (e.g. "LONG confluence: Supertrend flip + Structure OB").
2. Trend filter - structure breaks that fire against the Supertrend direction are automatically
faded, so with-trend breaks stand out from counter-trend noise.
3. Dashboard - a compact panel showing Supertrend direction, the live stop price and % distance
to it, swing bias, internal bias, and the nearest order block above and below price.
4. Repaint guard - the combined alert can be restricted to confirmed bar closes.
HOW TO USE
- Bias with the Supertrend direction; treat the star confluence marks as higher-conviction
entries where market structure, an order block, or an FVG agrees with a fresh trend flip.
- Use the dashboard "To Stop %" as a ready-made trailing-stop reference.
- In the Confluence settings group, set the structure lookback window and choose which
components count (structure / order block / FVG). Adjust the counter-trend fade to taste.
SETTINGS GROUPS
Smart Money Concepts, Real Time Internal/Swing Structure, Order Blocks, EQH/EQL, Fair Value
Gaps, Highs & Lows MTF, Premium & Discount Zones, Supertrend, Confluence, Dashboard.
NOTES
For education and research only - not financial advice. Some SMC elements (FVG, MTF levels)
use higher-timeframe lookahead for display and can repaint on the forming bar; the combined
alert is gated to confirmed bars by default to avoid acting on that.

OSOK SafePadOSOK SafePad is a lightweight price-level tool for marking a configurable safety buffer above and below the current reference price. It is designed for traders who want a clean visual guide for breakout, stop-entry, or event-driven execution plans without cluttering the historical chart.
Key features
Plots an Upper Pad and Lower Pad around the reference price.
Configurable pad size in points.
Optional freeze mode to lock levels at the start of a chosen session window, defaulting to 8:30 New York time.
Optional take-profit and stop-loss guide levels for both long and short stop-entry scenarios.
TP and SL levels are calculated from account-currency targets using the symbol point value and order size.
Lines extend to the right for easier monitoring without leaving historical marks as new bars print.
Clean, low-saturation colour palette designed to work on both dark and light charts.
How it works
Before the freeze time, SafePad tracks the latest chart price and displays the pad levels from the current candle. When freeze mode is enabled and the chart enters the configured freeze window, the indicator captures that candle’s open as the reference price and locks the pad levels from that point onward.
For example, with a 25-point pad, the Upper Pad is drawn 25 points above the reference price and the Lower Pad is drawn 25 points below it.
Take-profit and stop-loss guides
The optional TP and SL lines are derived from the configured dollar target, order size, and the symbol’s point value. These levels are visual planning aids for a hypothetical buy-stop at the Upper Pad and sell-stop at the Lower Pad.
Notes and limitations
This is a visual planning indicator, not an automated trading system.
TP/SL calculations depend on PulseWire’s syminfo.pointvalue; verify values for the instrument and broker feed you trade.
No trading signals, alerts, or order execution are included.
Indicator
Daily Key LevelsDaily Key Levels marks important New York-session opening prices directly on the chart, helping intraday traders keep the current session’s main reference levels visible without carrying old historical lines forward.
The indicator captures each level from 1-minute data and projects it across the active session only. The session resets at 18:00 New York time, matching the common futures session structure.

Marks the 18:00 market open, 8:30 news level, 9:30 New York open, and 10:00 macro level.
Optional 4-hour opening prices: 18:00, 22:00, 02:00, 06:00, 10:00, and 14:00.
Optional 6-hour opening prices: 18:00, 00:00, 06:00, and 12:00.
Automatically avoids duplicate stacked lines when the same timestamp belongs to multiple groups.
Only displays levels for the current active session.
Overlap Logic
When multiple level groups share the same timestamp, the indicator uses a clean priority rule:
Dedicated key levels > 4-hour opens > 6-hour opens
For example, the standalone 18:00 market-open level takes priority over both 4H and 6H 18:00 levels. The standalone 10:00 macro level takes priority over the 4H 10:00 level.
Notes
This indicator is designed as a visual reference tool for intraday context, planning, and level awareness. It does not generate trade signals, entries, exits, or alerts. Level accuracy depends on the chart symbol’s available 1-minute data and PulseWire’s session/feed data.

CME Price Limit MonitorCME Price Limit Monitor is a PulseWire indicator for monitoring CME equity index futures price-limit risk directly on the chart.
It displays estimated CME limit-up and limit-down levels, custom prop-firm warning levels, current distance to each level, and a compact dashboard for quick risk awareness.
Key Features
Monitors both CME limit-up and limit-down levels
Supports Auto Mode and Manual Mode
Maps micro contracts to their mini counterparts for calculation
- CME_MINI:MES1! MES → CME_MINI:ES1! ES
- CME_MINI:MNQ1! MNQ → CME_MINI:NQ1! NQ
- CBOT_MINI:MYM1! MYM → CBOT_MINI:YM1! YM
- CME_MINI:M2K1! M2K → CME_MINI:RTY1! RTY
Displays prop-firm warning levels before official CME limits are reached
Provides a dashboard with current status, distances, reference price, and calculated levels
Supports PulseWire manual alert creation through built-in alert conditions
Auto Mode
Auto Mode estimates the CME reference price from a continuous futures symbol, such as CME_MINI:NQ1! CME_MINI:NQ1!.
The indicator attempts to reconstruct the CME fixing window using PulseWire data:
Accurate Mode: volume-weighted 1-second data
Fast Mode: 30-second estimate
You can also override the calculation symbol manually using PulseWire’s symbol selector.
Manual Mode
Manual Mode lets you enter verified CME values yourself:
Reference Price
CME Official Limit-Up Price
CME Official Limit-Down Price
Manual Mode is recommended when exact official values are required.
Prop-Firm Warning Levels
The prop-firm buffer is measured in percentage points.
Example: if the CME limit is 7% and the prop-firm buffer is 2%, the warning level is calculated at 5% from the reference price.
Alerts
Alerts are created manually through PulseWire’s official alert workflow.
Available alert conditions:
Entered Prop-Firm Warning Zone
Reached/Breached Official CME Limit
Official CME Price Limits
Always verify calculated or manually entered values against CME’s official price limit page:

Important Disclaimer
This indicator is for visual risk monitoring only. It does not guarantee official CME accuracy, broker accuracy, or prop-firm rule compliance. Auto Mode is an estimate based on PulseWire-accessible data and may differ from CME-published official values.
Indicator
Sweep and Cluster [JOAT]SWEEP AND CLUSTER
A two-stage liquidity-sweep engine. Most public "sweep" indicators print a label on every wick that pokes past a recent high or low — which is mostly noise. Sweep and Cluster requires two separate events to register a tradeable signal: first a strict 5-condition sweep, then a confirming cluster of price action in the rejection direction. The label that actually appears on the chart is the rare intersection — the moments where institutional stop-running is followed by genuine commitment in the opposite direction.
Stage 1 — Strict 5-condition sweep detection
A sweep is registered only when all of these are true on the same bar:
Real pivot reference — the swept level is an actual minor pivot (ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow) from the rolling cache, not a rolling max/min. A scan-depth input controls how far back to look; a minimum-age gate prevents self-reference.
Wick magnitude — the wick that exceeds the pivot must be at least Wick ATR Multiplier × ATR(14) (default 0.8 ATR). The KB-published strict threshold.
Wick dominance — wick length must be at least Wick/Range Ratio of the candle's total range (default 35%). The wick must dominate the bar's shape, not be a side-effect of a large body.
Closing direction — close must be back inside the swept level. A clean wick that closed beyond the pivot is a breakout, not a sweep — and is filtered out by construction.
Cooldown — at least N bars (default 8) since the last same-side sweep. Prevents one stop-run from being counted as multiple sweeps when the wick prints over several bars.
If all five conditions are met a pending marker is placed (optional). Pending markers represent "a sweep happened" but not yet "the sweep was meaningful" — until the cluster confirms, the sweep is not actionable.
Stage 2 — Cluster confirmation
After a sweep fires, the next N bars (cluster window, default 5) are monitored for confirming follow-through. The cluster confirms only when:
At least M bars (default 1) close against the swept direction inside the window.
Average body/range across the qualifying cluster bars exceeds the Min Body Ratio (default 0.25) — the rejection candles must be impulsive, not micro-bodies.
Cumulative volume across the cluster window is at least Volume Multiplier × Average Volume (default 0.8×). Without volume the cluster is not commitment.
When all three confirm, the script fires the SAC (Sweep And Cluster) label — the actionable signal. A cluster strength badge (body sum / ATR) is rendered next to the label so you can rank one SAC vs another at a glance.
A failed sweep marker (toggleable, off by default) tracks sweeps that expired without confirming — useful for auditing the false-positive rate visually and for choosing thresholds.
Visual system
Sweep wick highlight — a thin coloured line at the swept reference price, extended right by a configurable number of bars. Makes the rejection unmistakable.
Reference level triangle — small glyph at the actual pivot level that was swept.
Cluster candle override — when SAC fires, the confirming cluster candles are repainted in the active-side theme colour via plotcandle so the move stands out from background.
Optional background tint — fading directional bgcolor for a few bars after a confirmed SAC.
Optional bar paint by active bias — every bar painted bull/bear based on the most recent SAC. Off by default to preserve chart neutrality.
A locked Quantum palette (cyan-quantum bull / pink-quantum bear on a deep void) gives the chart a distinctive sweep-and-reverse identity.
Dashboard + rolling statistics
A monospaced table, positionable to any of nine corners, with vertical row-fade for premium feel. Surfaces:
Total sweeps and total SACs since the last session/day/week reset (configurable reset frame).
Rolling Confirmation Rate (% of recent sweeps that became SACs) over a configurable window (default 50). The script's own success metric.
Pending sweep status with bars-remaining-in-cluster-window.
Last SAC direction with strength badge and bars-ago.
Last failed sweep tag (when failed markers are enabled).
Confirmation Rate is the headline read — it lets you see whether the current threshold settings are producing meaningful or sparse signals on the instrument you are trading.
Alerts
Three alert conditions, each independently controllable:
Pending Sweep (Stage 1 fires)
SAC Confirmed (Stage 2 confirms)
SAC Failed (Stage 2 expires without confirming) — off by default
How to read it
Two reads, in order of conviction:
SAC Confirmed alert with a high strength badge — the script's intended signal. Liquidity was swept, a real rejection followed inside the window, and the rejection had body and volume. This is the actionable read.
Pending Sweep at a known structural level (S/R, supply/demand) — useful as a "watch for the cluster" warning. If the cluster confirms, you have a high-conviction reversal at a structural location.
In persistent trends the failed-sweep rate climbs — that is the script telling you the regime does not currently favour sweep-and-reverse setups; stand aside or use the script in the trend direction only.
Suggested settings
Defaults (pivot lookback 8, wick ATR 0.8, body ratio 0.35, cluster window 5) are tuned for 15m–1H on liquid markets. For scalping (1m–5m), drop pivot lookback to 4 and cluster window to 3. For HTF macro reads (4H+), raise pivot lookback to 12–20 and cluster window to 8. The strict-threshold wick filters (0.8 ATR + 35%) are intentionally institutional — loosen for less liquid instruments.
Originality
The implementation — the five-condition strict sweep gate, the rolling minor-pivot cache with age and scan-depth filters, the three-condition cluster confirmation, the cluster-strength badge calculation, the pending → confirmed → failed state machine, the wick-level highlight render, the plotcandle override for confirming bars, the rolling confirmation-rate metric, and the session-reset counter — is JOAT-original. No third-party code reused. The "sweep + reaction" pattern is well-known to professional tape readers; the strict double-gate implementation is built specifically for chart-based Pine data.
Limitations
A confirmed SAC requires the cluster window to elapse — by definition the signal carries the cluster window bars of lag relative to the sweep. This is intentional; the cluster is what makes the signal meaningful. Failed sweeps are expected — the confirmation rate metric is there for you to see and tune accordingly. The script is structure-aware (uses real pivots) but does not know about HTF structure; combine with a higher-timeframe S/R indicator for best fit.

10am Open + Rejection Blocks❤︎ 10am Open + Rejection Blocks
This indicator is based on the 10am opening line concept inspired by Powell’s strategy.
The idea is that the new 4-hour opening candle at 10:00 AM often creates a manipulation wick. The opposite side of that manipulation can then be treated as potential continuation.
Core Logic
Plots the 10:00 AM opening line
Measures the opposite-side wick from the 10am open
Allows a custom wick-size threshold in points
Highlights when the wick meets the manipulation threshold
Detects 5-minute rejection blocks around the 10am line
Manipulation Threshold
The wick threshold lets you define how large a wick must be to qualify as manipulation.
I have found that 12.5 points or greater can be a useful qualifier.
If the wick is smaller than the threshold, the opposing side may be considered the manipulation instead. In that case, traders can wait for price to reclaim the 10am line using a rejection block.
Bullish Rejection Block
5-minute candle closes bullish
Opens at or above the 10am line
Wicks below the line
Closes back above the line
The lower wick forms the rejection block
Bearish Rejection Block
5-minute candle closes bearish
Opens at or below the 10am line
Wicks above the line
Closes back below the line
The upper wick forms the rejection block
Display Options
Show or hide the 10am opening line

Show only the first bullish and first bearish rejection block

Liquidity Levels.OVERVIEW
This indicator marks resting liquidity on the chart by drawing horizontal lines at confirmed swing highs and swing lows. In price-action and Smart Money concepts, swing highs tend to hold buy-side liquidity (buy stops from breakout buyers and short-sellers' protective stops), while swing lows tend to hold sell-side liquidity (sell stops). Visualising these levels helps traders see where orders are likely resting and where price may be drawn before continuing or reversing.
HOW IT WORKS
The script uses pivot detection to identify swing points. A swing high is confirmed when a candle's high is higher than the highs of the surrounding bars on both sides; a swing low is confirmed when a candle's low is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars on both sides. The number of bars required on each side is controlled by the Swing Lookback input. Because a pivot needs bars on both sides to confirm, levels print after the lookback period has elapsed — they do not repaint once drawn.
Each confirmed swing plots a dashed line at that price. Lines can optionally extend to the right so you can track whether a level remains untapped on the current candle.
INPUTS
- Swing Lookback: bars required on each side of a pivot. Higher values isolate more significant swing points and reduce minor levels.
- Show Buy-Side Liquidity (highs): toggles swing-high lines.
- Show Sell-Side Liquidity (lows): toggles swing-low lines.
- Extend Lines Right: extends levels forward for easier tracking.
- Liquidity Line Color and Line Width: visual styling.
HOW TO USE
- Raise the Swing Lookback on higher timeframes to focus on major liquidity; lower it on intraday charts for finer levels.
- Watch for price reaching an untapped level. A sweep (price piercing the level then closing back) can signal that liquidity has been taken, which some traders use as a reversal cue when combined with their own confirmation.
- This tool only maps levels. It does not generate entries, targets, or signals, and is best combined with your own market-structure or confirmation method.
NOTES
This is a visualisation tool, not a trading system, and does not constitute financial advice. Test any approach on your own before applying it to live decisions.
Indicator
Median Point of ControlMedian Point of Control calculates and displays the median OHLC4 price for customizable time periods, along with percentage-based upper and lower bands. It provides a statistical reference framework for identifying potential support, resistance, and mean-reversion zones.
What It Does
This indicator computes the median of all OHLC4 values within a defined period and plots three horizontal levels:
Median Line — The statistical middle price of the period
Upper Band — Median + user-defined percentage
Lower Band — Median - user-defined percentage
The current period's levels update dynamically as new bars form. Completed periods are preserved as historical reference lines.
Why Median Instead of Average?
The median is the "middle" value when all prices are sorted. Unlike the mean (average), the median is resistant to outliers — a single extreme wick or price spike won't distort the level. This makes it more representative of typical price action during the period.
Two Calculation Modes
Timeframe Mode Define periods using standard timeframes: 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc. The indicator automatically detects when each period begins and ends.
Bars Mode Define periods by a fixed number of bars (e.g., every 50 bars, every 100 bars). Useful for non-time-based analysis or custom period lengths that don't align with standard timeframes.
Settings
Calculation Mode: Choose between Timeframe or Bars
Timeframe: Period length when using Timeframe mode
Bars: Number of bars per period when using Bars mode
Band Distance (%): Percentage offset for upper/lower bands from median
Line Colors: Customize colors for median, upper, and lower bands
Line Width: Thickness of the plotted lines
Historical Transparency: Opacity of completed period lines
Max Historical Periods: Number of past periods to display
How To Use
Identify the range: The upper and lower bands create a price envelope based on the period's median. When price approaches these levels, watch for reactions.
Mean reversion reference: The median line represents the "fair value" of the period. Price tends to oscillate around this level.
Breakout detection: If price breaks and holds beyond a band, it may signal trend continuation rather than reversion.
Multi-timeframe analysis: Use Daily median on intraday charts to see where price stands relative to the day's statistical center.
Important Notes
This indicator does not predict price direction. It provides statistical reference levels only.
The current period's median updates with each new bar — this is expected behavior, not repainting.
Historical period lines are fixed once their period closes.
For best results, use on liquid instruments (stocks, forex majors, major crypto pairs).

Candle LevelsCandle Levels is a rebuild of my original Candle Levels Pro framework, designed to map important completed-candle and session reference levels directly on the price chart. This script focuses on current day/session levels, previous close, lower-timeframe completed candle levels, daily candle levels, weekly candle levels, and monthly candle levels. It also includes source-aware line starts and compact right-side labels so users can quickly see the level price, current distance from price, and level tag.
────────────────────────────
Core Idea
────────────────────────────
Markets often react around prior candle highs, lows, closes, session opens, and active-session extremes.
Candle Levels turns those reference points into organized horizontal levels:
• Current High of Day / Low of Day
• Regular-session open
• Premarket open
• Current close reference
• Previous close
• Previous completed LTF candle highs/lows/closes
• Previous completed daily candle highs/lows/closes
• Previous completed weekly candle highs/lows/closes
• Previous completed monthly candle highs/lows/closes
Instead of plotting every possible historical line, the script focuses on the active references that matter most to you now.
────────────────────────────
Asset-Aware Source Logic
────────────────────────────
The script separates stock/fund/ADR behavior from crypto behavior. It is not currently set up for futures. Futures have different session structures, settlement behavior, overnight handling, contract-specific calendars, and reference-level needs. A separate futures-focused version will be handled as its own script so the logic can be built specifically around futures sessions instead of forcing futures into the stock/crypto model.
For US-session stocks, funds, and ADRs:
• Close references use regular-session close data
• High/low references use extended/full-session high-low data when available
• HOD / LOD track the current full-session high and low
• PCL uses the prior regular-session daily close
• OPEN uses the regular-session open
• PMO uses the first premarket open
For crypto:
• Levels use the native 24-hour chart stream
• Daily levels follow the native 24-hour daily cycle
• US-session-only references such as PMO and CC are hidden automatically
This source split is intentional. Many traders want regular-session closes but still want premarket and after-hours highs/lows visible when those extremes matter.
────────────────────────────
Current Session Levels
────────────────────────────
The current-session block tracks:
• HOD
• LOD
• OPEN
• PMO
• CCL
• PCL
HOD and LOD update as the active day makes new extremes. Their lines can begin at the candle that created the current high or low, making the source of the level visually clear.
PCL has its own dedicated input group, label padding, and bull/bear color controls so it can be styled separately from the daily high/low rows.
────────────────────────────
Lower-Timeframe Candle Levels
────────────────────────────
The LTF section includes hardcoded completed-candle references for:
• 10m
• 15m
• 30m
• 1h
• 2h
• 4h
• 8h
Each row can show the previous completed candle’s:
• High
• Low
• Close
The “ ” tag means previous completed candle for that timeframe. For example, 1h means the prior completed one-hour candle, not a rolling last-60-minutes window.
────────────────────────────
Daily Candle Levels
────────────────────────────
The Daily section includes:
• D High / Low
• D High / Low / Close
• D High / Low / Close
D is the most recent completed daily candle. D is the single daily candle two completed sessions back. D is the single daily candle three completed sessions back.
These are candle offsets, not rolling multiday ranges.
For US-session equities, Daily Hi/Lo levels can include premarket or after-hours extremes when full-session history is available. This means a D Hi or D Lo may not always match the visible regular-session-only PulseWire daily candle.
Daily Close levels use the regular-session close source for US-session equities.
────────────────────────────
Weekly And Monthly Candle Levels
────────────────────────────
The Weekly section includes:
• W High / Low / Close
• W High / Low / Close
W means the prior completed 1-week candle. W means the single 1-week candle two completed weeks back. W is not a 2-week candle.
The Monthly section includes:
• M High / Low / Close
• M High / Low / Close
• M High / Low / Close
M means the prior completed 1-month candle. M means the single 1-month candle three completed months back. These are not rolling multi-month ranges.
Weekly and Monthly rows have independent high/low label controls, close label controls, and per-row label padding inputs.
────────────────────────────
Line Start Modes
────────────────────────────
Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels include source-aware line-start controls.
Active Period:
Starts the level from the current active period. This keeps the chart cleaner and avoids long historical spans.
Source Window:
Starts the level from the beginning of the completed source candle window used for that offset.
Source Candle:
Starts high/low lines from the chart candle that created the completed source high or low when that source timing is available. Close lines start from the completed source close candle when available.
If the exact source candle is not available, the script falls back to Source Window when available, then Active Period.
────────────────────────────
Right-Side Labels
────────────────────────────
All labels are right-side text labels only.
Each label can show:
• price row
• dollar difference from current price
• percent difference from current price
• level tag row
Labels use EM-space padding instead of x-offset tricks, which helps keep the labels visually staggered while still pinned to the current bar.
Different level groups have their own padding controls, and the newer Daily / Weekly / Monthly sections include more granular row padding so overlapping labels can be separated cleanly.
────────────────────────────
Important Levels Library
────────────────────────────
This version now uses my shared ImportantLevelsLinesLabels_Utilities library:
That library handles the reusable output infrastructure:
• right-side label text
• price / dollar / percent formatting
• line style resolution
• label size resolution
• bar-time horizontal level lines
• transparent text labels
• object slot arrays
• history-array pruning
• source-aware line-start routing
The script itself still owns the source engine, session behavior, candle tracking, request.security() logic, and final visibility conditions.
This keeps Candle Levels Pro cleaner internally while making the level-output system more consistent with future scripts.
────────────────────────────
How I Use It
────────────────────────────
I use Candle Levels as a price-map tool.
A few practical reads:
• HOD / LOD show where the active session has expanded.
• OPEN and PMO help frame current price against the regular and premarket starts.
• PCL shows where price is relative to the prior regular-session close.
• LTF levels help identify nearby short-term reference points.
• Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels help organize higher-timeframe context.
• Source Candle mode helps show where a completed candle high, low, or close actually came from.
• Right-side labels make it easier to compare distance from current price without manually measuring every level.
This is not intended to be a standalone buy/sell signal tool. It is a visual reference framework for organizing important price levels, session context, and completed candle structure.

Order Flow Footprint [JOAT]ORDER FLOW FOOTPRINT
A full intrabar footprint engine — POC, Value Area, per-row imbalance detection, stacked imbalance zones, delta-flip alerts, POC-shift alerts, and per-bar footprint ladder labels — built to read like a Bookmap-style auction view directly on a PulseWire chart. Uses the native Footprint API when your plan provides it, with a graceful fallback to lower-timeframe tick-rule reconstruction so the script works on every account tier.
Data source — Footprint API or reconstructed
Three modes, behaviourally identical:
Footprint API — uses request.footprint() with a configurable aggregation (Auto / 1m / 3m / 5m / 15m / 30m). Native bid/ask volume per row when your plan supports it.
Reconstructed — uses request.security_lower_tf() to sample intrabar prints, then assigns each tick to buy or sell via the standard tick rule. Configurable LTF (1m / 3m / 5m / 15m / 30m).
Auto — picks Footprint when available, falls back to Reconstructed. The recommended default.
A configurable Profile Rows input (default 24, max 80) sets the vertical resolution — each chart bar's intrabar volume is bucketed into N horizontal price slices and the footprint is built from those buckets.
Imbalance detection (Bookmap diagonal)
The institutional definition of an imbalance is diagonal , not lateral :
A buy row is imbalanced when buy ≥ ratio × sell (this row's buys vs the row below it's sells).
A sell row is imbalanced when sell ≥ ratio × buy (this row's sells vs the row above it's buys).
The ratio is configurable (default 3.0× — the institutional norm). An optional minimum-row-volume filter mutes illiquid wick rows from being counted as imbalances. When N or more same-side imbalances occur inside a single bar, the Burst alert fires.
Stacked imbalance zones (the headline)
Stacked imbalances are the textbook order-flow structural read: N consecutive same-side imbalanced rows on top of each other. They mark where price had to gap through multiple thin levels to print — and they are reliable revisit zones.
Minimum stack count is configurable (default 4 consecutive rows).
Each stack zone is drawn as a box extending right by a configurable bar count.
Optional glow border on stack zones (toggleable).
Maximum active zones is capped (default 8) — older zones shift out FIFO.
POC + Value Area
Per-bar Point of Control (the row with the highest volume), Value Area High and Value Area Low (the 70%-volume centred range) are computed and toggleable. POC is rendered as a dot; VAH / VAL as lines. A configurable POC Shift Threshold (in mintick units) fires the POC Shift alert when the POC jumps more than the threshold bar-over-bar.
Delta flip detection
Per-bar delta (buy − sell) is computed continuously. The delta-flip alert fires only when delta switches sign after at least N consecutive same-sign bars (configurable, default 5). This filters out the micro-fluctuations that pure-sign-flip detectors would noise on.
Per-bar footprint ladder (optional, heavy)
When enabled, inline labels at every row of every recent bar (configurable history depth) show the buy × sell tuple per row — the full Bookmap-style read. This is visually rich but rendering-heavy; keep it off when scrolling long histories or running on low-end hardware.
Visual system
POC dot in accent yellow.
Value Area lines (VAH / VAL).
Imbalance cells highlighted in palette colour per row.
Stacked imbalance zones with optional glow.
Bar colouring by delta sign (toggleable).
Per-bar delta annotations every N bars (configurable).
Per-bar ladder labels (optional).
A locked Iridescent palette (magenta bull / cyan bear / yellow POC accent on pure black) gives the chart a cyberpunk holographic identity that reads as institutional rather than retail.
Dashboard
Monospaced table positionable to any of nine corners. Surfaces:
Source mode in use (Footprint / Reconstructed) with aggregation/LTF.
Current bar's delta value and sign.
POC price and intrabar volume share.
Imbalance count this bar (buy / sell).
Active stack zone count.
Last delta-flip direction with bar-age.
Alerts
Five alert conditions, each independently controllable:
Stacked Imbalance Zone Formed
POC Shift (POC jumped > threshold)
Delta Flip After Run (delta sign change after N+ same-sign bars)
Buy Imbalance Burst (N+ buy imbalances in one bar)
Sell Imbalance Burst (N+ sell imbalances in one bar)
How to read it
Three reads, in order of conviction:
Stacked imbalance zone — the highest-conviction read. Price had to plough through multiple thin levels to print. Future revisits are reliable reactive zones.
Delta flip after run — regime-change signal. When delta has been net-buying for many bars and finally flips net-selling, the auction direction has just rotated.
POC shift through a structural level — value migration. When the POC moves through a previous-day VAH or VAL, value has migrated and the next session's bias often follows.
Suggested settings
Defaults (1m reconstruction LTF, 24 rows, 3.0× imbalance ratio, 4-stack minimum) are tuned for 5m–15m charts on liquid markets. For 1m scalping, drop rows to 16 and stack minimum to 3. For HTF macro (1H+), raise rows to 36 and stack minimum to 5. The 3.0× imbalance ratio is the institutional Bookmap norm; tighten to 2.5× for more frequent imbalance prints.
Originality
The implementation — the Auto/Footprint/Reconstructed source router, the diagonal-Bookmap imbalance detector with row-volume filter, the consecutive-row stack zone builder with glow border, the POC-shift detector with mintick-unit threshold, the run-length-gated delta-flip alert, the per-bar ladder renderer with history depth control, and the dashboard's holographic palette — is JOAT-original. No third-party code reused. The footprint vocabulary (POC, VAH/VAL, imbalance, stacked imbalance, delta) is public-domain auction-theory language; the implementation here is purpose-built for chart-based Pine v6.
Limitations
Reconstructed footprints are an approximation — the tick rule is the accepted public-market inference for assigning intrabar trades to buy/sell but it is not a direct read of bid/ask volume. Footprint API requires a PulseWire Premium or Ultimate plan and is unavailable on some instruments. The per-bar ladder labels are rendering-heavy; keep them off when historical performance matters. Stacked-imbalance zones honour the max active cap (FIFO eviction) and the extension bars cap.

NOA Levels
NOA Levels — Structural Levels, Volume Profiles & Gap Analytics
OVERVIEW
NOA Levels combines three institutional reference frameworks into a single
overlay: prior-period structural levels, volume-derived value zones, and a
statistical session-gap engine. It is built for traders who anchor decisions to
where price has previously transacted and how the current session opens relative
to that history.
Everything plots on intraday timeframes and reads off higher-timeframe data, so
the levels stay consistent regardless of the chart resolution you trade on.
WHAT IT PLOTS
1. Prior-Period Levels (Day / Week / Month)
Previous high, low, and midpoint for each period, drawn as horizontal
references that extend across the active period. High/low use dashed lines;
midpoints use dotted lines to keep them visually subordinate. Compact labels
(pdH/pdM/pdL, pwH/pwM/pwL, pmH/pmM/pmL) keep the chart readable.
2. Volume Profiles (Daily & Weekly)
Point of Control (POC) plus Value Area High/Low for the prior day and prior
week, computed from an intrabar volume distribution. Value Area % is
adjustable (40% for a tight zone around the POC, ~70% for the standard Market
Profile convention). Resolution controls the number of price rows used to
build each profile.
3. Session Gap Engine
On each new session, the open is measured against the prior close. Every gap
is boxed and classified into one of six behavioural profiles based purely on
where the session ultimately closes relative to the gap zone:
• GapUp & Go / Hold / Reverse
• GapDn & Go / Hold / Reverse
The on-chart label shows the gap size and the developing profile in real time;
the tooltip carries the full statistical breakdown.
GAP STATISTICS (the core differentiator)
Rather than judging gaps with arbitrary thresholds, NOA Levels builds a running
distribution from your own chart's history (lookback is adjustable). For each new
gap it reports:
• Magnitude in % and price, normalized as a z-score (σ) and percentile rank
against prior gaps — so a "big" gap is defined by this symbol's own behaviour
• A Common vs. Breakaway tag (whether the open clears the prior day's range)
• Historical Go / Hold / Reverse percentages, split by gap direction
• Live fill tracking (whether the prior close has been retested)
Magnitude is normalized by absolute gap %, which is always available — so gaps
plot and compute statistics even on freshly listed symbols where ATR has not yet
warmed up. The ATR multiple is shown as an optional reference field once enough
daily history exists.
REPAINTING
Higher-timeframe levels use confirmed prior-period values (lookahead with a
one-bar offset), so historical levels do not repaint. The developing gap profile
and fill status update intrabar by design, as they describe the session in
progress; the profile is finalized and recorded into the distribution once the
session closes.
HOW TO USE
- Treat prior highs/lows and POC/Value Area as decision zones — areas where
reaction is more likely, not automatic buy/sell signals.
- Use the gap percentile and σ to gauge whether an open is routine or unusual
for this instrument before sizing or fading it.
- Read the Go/Hold/Reverse distribution as context for the current gap's most
common historical resolution — it is descriptive, not predictive.
- Midpoints often act as intraday pivots; the gap mid frequently marks the
fill objective.
