Premarket High/Low + Prior Day High/Low + Opening PriceFutures Levels – Premarket High/Low + Prior Day High/Low + Opening Price
Clean and accurate session levels designed primarily for futures traders (ES, NQ, YM, RTY, etc.), but also usable on equities.
What it plots:
• Premarket High & Low – Highest high and lowest low of the most recent overnight/premarket session
• Prior Day High & Low – High and low of the most recent completed Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session
• Opening Price – The actual 09:30 ET opening price of the most recent session
Key Features:
• Shows only the most recent levels (no historical clutter)
• Correctly handles weekends and pre-market gaps — on Sunday or Monday before the open you will see Friday’s Premarket High/Low, Friday’s RTH High/Low, and Friday’s 09:30 open
• Lines start at their true origin bar and extend only to the right
• Fully independent settings for each level (color, line style, and thickness)
• Session times are fully adjustable
How to use:
1. Add the indicator to an intraday chart
2. Make sure Extended Hours (ETH) is enabled
3. Adjust colors, styles, and widths in the settings to your preference
Adjusting for Equities (Stocks/ETFs):
By default the sessions are set for futures (Premarket 18:00–09:29 ET).
For stocks and ETFs, simply change the session inputs in the settings to:
• Premarket Session → 0400-0929
• RTH Session → 0930-1600
Ideal for day traders and scalpers who want clean, reliable reference levels without the noise of older session lines. Indicator
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.

Session Strata Mapper [JOAT]
Session Strata Mapper
Introduction
Session Strata Mapper is an overlay indicator that tracks three critical intraday price levels in real time: the Premarket session range (04:00-09:30 ET), the Initial Balance range (09:30-10:30 ET), and the Previous Day's high, low, and midpoint. These levels are rendered as dynamic zones that expand as each session progresses and extend as horizontal reference lines throughout the trading day. Extension projections above and below the Initial Balance provide potential target levels based on the established morning range.
Session-based levels represent areas where institutional participation was concentrated during distinct time periods. The premarket range reflects the overnight positioning of market participants before retail hours begin. The Initial Balance captures the price range set by the first hour of regular trading, a period often dominated by institutional order flow. Violations of these levels, especially when accompanied by volume, frequently signal meaningful directional commitment from large participants.
Core Concepts
1. Session Detection and Range Building
Sessions are detected using PulseWire's time() function with a configurable timezone (default: America/New_York). The premarket range builds bar by bar during the 04:00-09:30 window, tracking the running high and low. The Initial Balance does the same during 09:30-10:30. All objects (boxes, lines, labels) update in real time as each session progresses.
2. Initial Balance Extensions
The IB range can optionally project extension levels above and below at 0.5x IB multiples. Extensions are labeled IB +1x, IB +2x, etc. These project the IB range beyond the session boundaries and serve as potential continuation targets when price breaks from the IB.
3. Previous Day Levels
The previous trading day's high, low, and midpoint are tracked by detecting session-start bars and storing the completed day's range. These levels extend throughout the current session as dashed reference lines and are updated at the start of each new day.
4. Zone Boxes and Line Rendering
Each session's range is rendered as a filled zone box that expands during the session and then remains fixed after the session ends. Horizontal lines extend from the session boundaries into the future trading period, providing ongoing reference as price interacts with those levels throughout the day.
Features
Premarket Range Zone: Live-building box with high, low, and optional midpoint lines
Initial Balance Zone: Live-building box with high, low, midpoint, and extension projections
Previous Day Levels: Prior session high, low, and midpoint as dashed reference lines
Extension Lines: Up to 4 levels of IB extension projections with optional labels
Dashboard: Real-time level values and whether price is currently above or below each key level
Configurable Timezone: Works for multiple market sessions globally
Label Size and Line Width Controls
Input Parameters
Timezone: Market-specific timezone for session detection
Show Premarket, IB, Previous Day: Individual toggles
IB Extension Levels: Number of extension multiples to show (0-4)
Color inputs for each session type
Label size and line width settings
How to Use This Indicator
Premarket Range as Reference
Price trading above the premarket high at the regular session open is constructive. A break below the premarket low often draws bearish attention. The premarket midpoint frequently acts as intraday support or resistance.
Initial Balance Breakouts
When price breaks above the IB high with momentum, the extension levels provide natural targets. An IB high breakout that reaches IB +1x suggests continuation may carry to IB +2x. Reversals from IB extension levels are also common.
Previous Day Level Confluences
When the premarket or IB range aligns closely with the previous day's high or low, that confluence represents an area where two independent session-based reference points agree — a stronger potential reaction zone.
Limitations
Session detection requires intraday data. The indicator is not meaningful on daily or higher timeframes
Some brokers and data providers do not include premarket data. On charts without premarket bars, the premarket range will be empty
Extension levels are mechanical projections of the IB range. They are reference points, not guaranteed targets
The Previous Day tracking resets on each new session. On instruments that trade continuously (such as some crypto markets), the day boundary is user-defined by the timezone setting
Originality Statement
The integration of three distinct session types (premarket, initial balance, and previous day) within a single dynamically updating visualization system provides a consolidated view that would otherwise require multiple separate tools. The live-expanding zone boxes with simultaneous line extension represent a unified approach to session level tracking. The IB extension projection system is built around the specific multiples used by institutional traders who apply IB methodology.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. Session levels are historical reference points and do not predict future price reactions. Price can and regularly does pass through any level without reaction. Use in conjunction with other analysis and always apply proper risk management.

Malama's Pre-Market BoxThis script is a comprehensive Pre-Market range visualizer designed to replace older, single-candle analysis tools. It automatically highlights the full pre-market session (04:00–09:30 EST) and extends key support/resistance levels into the regular trading day.
Why this script was created (Evolution from previous versions): This is a complete architectural rewrite of the older "Malama's KAYCAP Pre-Market Box."
Old Logic: The previous version focused on isolating a single, specific 1-minute candle (e.g., exactly 4:00 AM) to determine levels.
New Logic: This version tracks the entire pre-market session range. It dynamically updates the True High and True Low as the pre-market develops, providing a much more accurate support/resistance zone for the open.
Visual Overhaul: Instead of static plots, this version uses Pine Script v6 box and line objects to draw a clean, shading-customizable range that automatically extends rightward until the trading session ends.
How it works:
Session Tracking: The script monitors the user-defined session (default 04:00-09:30).
Dynamic Box: As price moves during pre-market, a box is drawn covering the highest high and lowest low of that period.
Level Extension: At 09:30 (Market Open), the script locks the High and Low values. It then projects two horizontal lines (Resistance and Support) across the chart for the rest of the day.
Breakout Detection: If the price closes outside these levels during regular hours, the script can optionally trigger Alerts and plot "BREAK" labels on the chart.
Settings:
Time Settings: Customizable session string (default captures standard US Pre-Market).
Visuals: Fully adjustable box colors, border transparency, and line width.
Signals: Toggle breakout labels on/off.
Alerts Included:
Bullish Breakout: Triggers when price crosses and closes above the Pre-Market High.
Bearish Breakdown: Triggers when price crosses and closes below the Pre-Market Low. Indicator
Custom Period High LowSummary
I'm moving over from TradeStation and default Pre-Market Session there is 0800-0930. Default PMS on PulseWire is 0400-0930. I find that the 0800-0930 High and Low are more accurate levels. This script addresses exactly that - it allows you to grab High and Low of any custom time slot.
This script started as Custom Pre-Market H/L, that's why the shading. Then I realized it can be used for any custom time period, so I renamed it to PERIOD H/L.
Limitations
Different tickers are provided by different exchanges, in different time zones. The end result is that the SAME session time (0800-0930) may shift for different tickers. Examples:
- SPY : 0800-0930 // no shift: NYSE, in NYC
- ES1!: 0900-1030 // shifted 1 hr ahead: CME, in Chicago
- NQ1!: 0900-1030 // shifted 1 hr ahead: CME, in Chicago
To see for yourself, set Time Zone config parameter to empty string for non-NYC tickers like ES1! or NQ1 and watch times for shaded and non-shaded areas.
Why TV chooses to go by the ticker's TZ, and not the TZ that's configured in the lower right corner of my TV screen - I have no idea. But asking for user's TZ is how you fix it.
If you know how I can get that value so I don't have to ask the user - let me know. I'm new to TV.
Hacks
You can use it more than once for, say, Opening Range Breakout. Configure your custom PMS for 0930-0945, change lines, remove area fill - and ta-da - you have High and Low for first 15 min! See release chart for the example. Indicator
Strategy
Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levelsYelober – Market Internals + Key Levels is a focused intraday trading tool that helps you spot high-probability price direction by anchoring decisions to structure that matters: yesterday’s RTH High/Low, today’s pre-market High/Low, and a fast Value Area/POC from the prior session. Paired with a compact market internals dashboard (NYSE/NASDAQ UVOL vs. DVOL ratios, VOLD slopes, TICK/TICKQ momentum, and optional VIX trend), it gives you a real-time read on breadth so you can choose which direction to trade, when to enter (breaks, retests, or fades at PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC), and how to plan exits as internals confirm or deteriorate. On top of these intraday decision benefits, it also allows traders—in a very subtle but powerful way—to keep an eye on the VIX and immediately recognize significant spikes or sharp decreases that should be factored in before entering a trade, or used as a quick signal to modify an existing position. In short: clear levels for the chart, live internals for the context, and a smarter, rules-based path to execution.
# Yelober – Market Internals + Key Levels
*A PulseWire indicator for session key levels + real‑time market internals (NYSE/NASDAQ TICK, UVOL/DVOL/VOLD, and VIX).*
**Script name in Pine:** `Yelober - Market Internal direction+ Key levels` (Pine v6)
---
## 1) What this indicator does
**Purpose:** Help intraday traders quickly find high‑probability reaction zones and read market internals momentum without switching charts. It overlays yesterday/today’s **automatic price levels** on your active chart and shows a **market breadth table** that summarizes NYSE/NASDAQ buying pressure and TICK direction, with an optional VIX trend read.
### Key features at a glance
* **Automatic Price Levels (overlay on chart)**
* Yesterday’s High/Low of Day (**yHoD**, **yLoD**)
* Extended Hours High/Low (**yEHH**, **yEHL**) across yesterday AH + today pre‑market
* Today’s Pre‑Market High/Low (**PMH**, **PML**)
* Yesterday’s **Value Area High/Low** (**VAH/VAL**) and **Point of Control (POC)** computed from a volume profile of yesterday’s **regular session**
* Smart de‑duplication:
* Shows **only the higher** of (yEHH vs PMH) and **only the lower** of (yEHL vs PML) to avoid redundant bands
* **Market Breadth Table (on‑chart table)**
* **NYSE ratio** = UVOL/DVOL (signed) with **VOLD slope** from session open
* **NASDAQ ratio** = UVOLQ/DVOLQ (signed) with **VOLDQ slope** from session open
* **TICK** and **TICKQ**: live cumulative ratio and short‑term slope
* **VIX** (optional): current value + slope over a configurable lookback/timeframe
* Color‑coded trends with sensible thresholds and optional normalization
---
## 2) How to use it (trader workflow)
1. **Mark your reaction zones**
* Watch **yHoD/yLoD**, **PMH/PML**, and **VAH/VAL/POC** for first touches, break/retest, and failure tests.
* Expect increased responsiveness when multiple levels cluster (e.g., PMH ≈ VAH ≈ daily pivot).
2. **Read the breadth panel for context**
* **NYSE/NASDAQ ratio** (>1 = more up‑volume than down‑volume; <−1 = down‑dominant). Strong green across both favors long setups; red favors short setups.
* **VOLD slopes** (NYSE & NASDAQ): positive and accelerating → broadening participation; negative → persistent pressure.
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative ratio and **slope arrows** (↗ / ↘ / →). Use the slope to gauge **near‑term thrust or fade**.
* **VIX slope**: rising VIX (red) often coincides with risk‑off; falling VIX (green) with risk‑on.
3. **Confluence = higher confidence**
* Example: Price reclaims **PMH** while **NYSE/NASDAQ ratios** print green and **TICK slopes** point ↗ — consider break‑and‑go; if VIX slope is ↘, that adds risk‑on confidence.
* Example: Price rejects **VAH** while **VOLD slopes** roll negative and VIX ↗ — consider fade/reversal.
4. **Risk management**
* Place stops just beyond key levels tested; if breadth flips, tighten or exit.
> **Timeframes:** Works best on 1–15m charts for intraday. Value Area is computed from **yesterday’s RTH**; choose a smaller calculation timeframe (e.g., 5–15m) for stable profiles.
---
## 3) Inputs & settings (what each option controls)
### Global Style
* **Enable all automatic price levels**: master toggle for yHoD/yLoD, yEHH/yEHL, PMH/PML, VAH/VAL/POC.
* **Line style/width**: applies to all drawn levels.
* **Label size/style** and **label color linking**: use the same color as the line or override with a global label color.
* **Maximum bars lookback**: how far the script scans to build yesterday metrics (performance‑sensitive).
### Value Area / Volume Profile
* **Enable Value Area calculations** *(on by default)*: computes yesterday’s **POC**, **VAH**, **VAL** from a simplified intraday volume profile built from yesterday’s **regular session bars**.
* **Max Volume Profile Points** *(default 50)*: lower values = faster; higher = more precise.
* **Value Area Calculation Timeframe** *(default 15)*: the security timeframe used when collecting yesterday’s highs/lows/volumes.
### Individual Level Toggles & Colors
* **yHoD / yLoD** (yesterday high/low)
* **yEHH / yEHL** (yesterday AH + today pre‑market extremes)
* **PMH / PML** (today pre‑market extremes)
* **VAH / VAL / POC** (yesterday RTH value area + point of control)
### Market Breadth Panel
* **Show NYSE / NASDAQ / VIX**: choose which series to display in the table.
* **Table Position / Size / Background Color**: UI placement and legibility.
* **Slope Averaging Periods** *(default 5)*: number of recent TICK/TICKQ ratio points used in slope calculation.
* **Candles for Rate** *(default 10)* & **Normalize Rate**: VIX slope calculation as % change between `now` and `n` candles ago; normalize divides by `n`.
* **VIX Timeframe**: optionally compute VIX on a higher TF (e.g., 15, 30, 60) for a smoother regime read.
* **Volume Normalization** (NYSE & NASDAQ): display VOLD slopes scaled to `tens/thousands/millions/10th millions` for readable magnitudes; color thresholds adapt to your choice.
---
## 4) Data sources & definitions
* **UVOL/VOLD (NYSE)** and **UVOLQ/DVOLQ/VOLDQ (NASDAQ)** via `request.security()`
* **Ratio** = `UVOL/DVOL` (signed; negative when down‑volume dominates)
* **VOLD slope** ≈ `(VOLD_now − VOLD_open) / bars_since_open`, then normalized per your setting
* **TICK/TICKQ**: cumulative sum of prints this session with **positives vs negatives ratio**, plus a simple linear regression **slope** of the last `N` ratio values
* **VIX**: value and slope across a user‑selected timeframe and lookback
* **Sessions (EST/EDT)**
* **Regular:** 09:30–16:00
* **Pre‑Market:** 04:00–09:30
* **After Hours:** 16:00–20:00
* **Extended‑hours extremes** combine **yesterday AH** + **today PM**
> **Note:** All session checks are done with PulseWire’s `time(…,"America/New_York")` context. If your broker’s RTH differs (e.g., futures), adjust expectations accordingly.
---
## 5) How the algorithms work (plain English)
### A) Key Levels
* **Yesterday’s RTH High/Low**: scans yesterday’s bars within 09:30–16:00 and records the extremes + bar indices.
* **Extended Hours**: scans yesterday AH and today PM to get **yEHH/yEHL**. Script shows **either yEHH or PMH** (whichever is **higher**) and **either yEHL or PML** (whichever is **lower**) to avoid duplicate bands stacked together.
* **Value Area & POC (RTH only)**
* Build a coarse volume profile with `Max Volume Profile Points` buckets across the price range formed by yesterday’s RTH bars.
* Distribute each bar’s volume uniformly across the buckets it spans (fast approximation to keep Pine within execution limits).
* **POC** = bucket with max volume. **VA** expands from POC outward until **70%** of cumulative volume is enclosed → yields **VAH/VAL**.
### B) Market Breadth Table
* **NYSE/NASDAQ Ratio**: signed UVOL/DVOL with basic coloring.
* **VOLD Slopes**: from session open to current, normalized to human‑readable units; colors flip green/red based on thresholds that map to your normalization setting (e.g., ±2M for NYSE, ±3.5×10M for NASDAQ).
* **TICK/TICKQ Slope**: linear regression over the last `N` ratio points → **↗ / → / ↘** with the rounded slope value.
* **VIX Slope**: % change between now and `n` candles ago (optionally divided by `n`). Red when rising beyond threshold; green when falling.
---
## 6) Recommended presets
* **Stocks (liquid, intraday)**
* Value Area **ON**, `Max Volume Points` = **40–60**, **Timeframe** = **5–15**
* Breadth: show **NYSE & NASDAQ & VIX**, `Slope periods` = **5–8**, `Candles for rate` = **10–20**, **Normalize VIX** = **ON**
* **Index futures / very high‑volume symbols**
* If you see Pine timeouts, set `Max Volume Points` = **20–40** or temporarily **disable Value Area**.
* Keep breadth panel **ON** (it’s light). Consider **VIX timeframe = 15/30** for regime clarity.
---
## 7) Tips, edge cases & performance
* **Performance:** The volume profile is capped (`maxBarsToProcess ≤ 500` and bucketed) to keep it responsive. If you experience slowdowns, reduce `Max Volume Points`, `Maximum bars lookback`, or disable Value Area.
* **Redundant lines:** The script **intentionally suppresses** PMH/PML when yEHH/yEHL are more extreme, and vice‑versa.
* **Label visibility:** Use `Label style = none` if you only want clean lines and read values from the right‑end labels.
* **Futures/RTH differences:** Value Area is from **yesterday’s RTH** only; for 24h instruments the RTH period may not reflect overnight structure.
* **Session transitions:** PMH/PML tracking stops as soon as RTH starts; values persist as static levels for the session.
---
## 8) Known limitations
* Uses public PulseWire symbols: `UVOL`, `VOLD`, `UVOLQ`, `DVOLQ`, `VOLDQ`, `TICK`, `TICKQ`, `VIX`. If your data plan or region limits any symbol, the corresponding table rows may show `na`.
* The VA/POC approximation assumes uniform distribution of each bar’s volume across its high–low. That’s fast but not a tick‑level profile.
* Works best on US equities with standard NY session; alternative sessions may need code changes.
---
## 9) Troubleshooting
* **“Script is too slow / timed out”** → Lower `Max Volume Points`, lower `Maximum bars lookback`, or toggle **OFF** `Enable Value Area calculations` for that instrument.
* **Missing breadth values** → Ensure the symbols above load on your account; try reloading chart or switching timeframes once.
* **Overlapping labels** → Set `Label style = none` or reduce label size.
---
## 10) Version / license / contribution
* **Version:** Initial public release (Pine v6).

---
## 11) Quick start (TL;DR)
1. Add the indicator and **keep default settings**.
2. Trade **reactions** at yHoD/yLoD/PMH/PML/VAH/VAL/POC.
3. Use the **breadth table**: look for **green ratios + ↗ slopes** (risk‑on) or **red ratios + ↘ slopes** (risk‑off). Check **VIX** slope for confirmation.
4. Manage risk around levels; when breadth flips against you, tighten or exit.

### Changelog (public)
* **v1.0:** First community release with automatic RTH levels, VA/POC approximation, breadth dashboard (NYSE/NASDAQ/TICK/TICKQ/VIX) with normalization and adaptive color thresholds.

Premarket High/Low (Horizontal Rays)=== Script Description ===
This PulseWire script automatically detects and displays the high and low prices
during the premarket session (04:00–09:30 Eastern Time) for the current trading day.
It draws horizontal rays that extend across the chart and labels them as "PM High" and "PM Low".
These markers are refreshed daily and only apply to today's session.
The script also provides full customization for:
- Line color, width, and style (solid, dotted, dashed)
- Label text color, background color, size, and style (left, right, up, down)
Time note: This script assumes data aligned with U.S. market hours.

Intraday Volume### Intraday Volume Indicator Explanation
--- this was Mostly created by OpenAI ChatGPT --- it's pretty good!
--- My Commentary: One of the problems I find is with Volume is - it is skewed by the overwhelming volume around the Open and Close. So, as an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to create an indicator to plot the volume everywhere BUT the open.
I added in the CandleColor() function and set the times.
I also changed the Intraday Volume calculation from Cumulative to live.
still Chat GPT - did about 90% of the heavy lift! And, wrote the summary !
----
The "Intraday Volume" indicator is a custom script designed for use on the PulseWire platform. It provides a visual representation of the total accumulated trading volume during the intraday trading session, specifically between the market open and close times. Below is a detailed explanation of its functionality:
#### **Key Features:**
1. **Session Times:**
- The indicator defines the intraday session as the period between 9:30 AM EST (market open) and 4:00 PM EST (market close).
- It uses the `timestamp` function to set these times dynamically for each trading day.
2. **Intraday Volume Calculation:**
- During the defined intraday session, the indicator accumulates the trading volume from each bar (candlestick).
- Outside the intraday session, the volume is reset to `na` (not available) to ensure only intraday data is plotted.
3. **Plotting the Volume:**
- The accumulated intraday volume is plotted as a blue column chart in a separate pane below the price chart.
- This provides a clear visualization of how the trading volume evolves throughout the trading session.
