Macro Timeframes with Opening PriceDescription: Macro Timeframe Horizontal Line Indicator
This indicator highlights macro periods on the chart by drawing a horizontal line at the opening price of each macro period. The macro timeframe is defined as the last 10 minutes of an hour (from :50 to :00) and the first 10 minutes of the following hour (from :00 to :10).
A horizontal black line is plotted at the opening price of the macro period, starting at :50 and extending through the duration of the macro window. However, you can customize it however you see fit.
The background of the macro period is highlighted with a customizable color to visually distinguish the timeframe.
The horizontal line updates at each macro period, ensuring that the opening price for every macro session is accurately reflected on the chart.
This tool is useful for traders who want to track the behavior of price within key macro intervals and visually assess price movement and volatility during these periods.
Candlestick analysis
Strategy: Candlestick Wick Analysis with Volume Conditions
This strategy focuses on analyzing the wicks (or shadows) of candlesticks to identify potential trading opportunities based on candlestick structure and volume. Based on these criteria, it places stop orders at the extremities of the wicks when certain conditions are met, thus increasing the chances of capturing significant price movements.
Trading Criteria
Volume Conditions:
The strategy checks if the volume of the current candle is higher than that of the previous three candles. This ensures that the observed price movement is supported by significant volume, increasing the probability that the price will continue in the same direction.
Wick Analysis:
Upper Wick:
If the upper wick of a candle represents more than 90% of its body size and is longer than the lower wick, this indicates that the price tested a resistance level before pulling back.
Order Placement: In this case, a Buy Stop order is placed at the upper extremity of the wick. This means that if the price rises back to this level, the order will be triggered, and the trader will take a buy position.
SL Management: A stop-loss is then placed below the lowest point of the same candle. This protects the trader by limiting losses if the price falls back after the order is triggered.
Lower Wick:
If the lower wick of a candle is longer than the upper wick and represents more than 90% of its body size, this indicates that the price tested a support level before rising.
Order Placement: In this case, a Sell Stop order is placed at the lower extremity of the wick. Thus, if the price drops back to this level, the order will be triggered, and the trader will take a sell position.
SL Management: A stop-loss is then placed above the highest point of the same candle. This ensures risk management by limiting losses if the price rebounds upward after the order is triggered.
Strategy Advantages
Responsiveness to Price Movements: The strategy is designed to detect significant price movements based on the market's reaction around support and resistance levels. By placing stop orders directly at the wick extremities, it allows capturing strong movements in the direction indicated by the candles.
Securing Positions: Using stop-losses positioned just above or below key levels (wicks) provides better risk management. If the market doesn't move as expected, the position is automatically closed with a limited loss.
Clear Visual Indicators: Symbols are displayed on the chart at the points where orders have been placed, making it easier to understand trading decisions. This helps to quickly identify the support or resistance levels tested by the price, as well as potential entry points.
Conclusion
The strategy is based on the idea that large wicks signal areas where buyers or sellers have tested significant price levels before temporarily retreating. By placing stop orders at the extremities of these wicks, the strategy allows capturing price movements when they confirm, while limiting risks through strategically placed stop-losses. It thus offers a balanced approach between capturing potential profit and managing risk.
This description emphasizes the idea of capturing significant market movements with stop orders while providing a clear explanation of the logic and risk management. It’s tailored for publication on TradingView and highlights the robustness of the strategy.
ORB Daily 10 min (9:30am-3pm)This script implements the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy for the New York trading session, specifically from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM (Eastern Time). It identifies the high and low of the first 10 minutes (the first two 5-minute candles) after the market opens and draws a box representing this range. The box remains on the chart throughout the day until 3:00 PM. This strategy is useful for traders looking to trade breakouts of the opening range, often indicating potential trends or reversals.
E9 Bollinger RangeThe E9 Bollinger Range is a technical trading tool that leverages Bollinger Bands to track volatility and price deviations, along with additional trend filtering via EMAs.
The script visually enhances price action with a combination of trend-filtering EMAs, bar colouring for trend direction, signals to indicate potential buy and sell points based on price extension and engulfing patterns.
Here’s a breakdown of its key components:
Bollinger Bands: The strategy plots multiple Bollinger Band deviations to create different price levels. The furthest deviation bands act as warning signs for traders when price extends significantly, signaling potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Bar Colouring: Visual bar colouring is applied to clearly indicate trend direction: green bars for an uptrend and red bars for a downtrend.
EMA Filtering: Two EMAs (50 and 200) are used to help filter out false signals, giving traders a better sense of the underlying trend.
This combination of signals, visual elements, and trend filtering provides traders with a systematic approach to identifying price deviations and taking advantage of market corrections.
Brief History of Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands were developed by John Bollinger in the early 1980s as a tool to measure price volatility in financial markets. The bands consist of a moving average (typically 20 periods) with upper and lower bands placed two standard deviations away. These bands expand and contract based on market volatility, offering traders a visual representation of price extremes and potential reversal zones.
John Bollinger’s work revolutionized technical analysis by incorporating volatility into trend detection. His bands remain widely used across markets, including stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. With the ability to highlight overbought and oversold conditions, Bollinger Bands have become a staple in many trading strategies.

MSTR-BTC PremiumThis custom indicator, “MSTR-BTC Premium with High, Average, and Low Levels,” helps you analyze the premium of MicroStrategy Incorporated’s (MSTR) stock price in relation to its Bitcoin holdings. By comparing the market capitalization of MSTR to the value of its Bitcoin holdings (using BTCUSD from Coinbase), this indicator calculates a premium that reflects how much the stock price deviates from its Bitcoin-related value.
Key Features:
• Premium Line: The primary feature is the “Premium,” which shows the ratio of MSTR’s market cap relative to its Bitcoin holdings and the BTCUSD price.
• High, Average, and Low Levels: The indicator calculates the highest, lowest, and average premium values over a user-defined period (default is 14 bars). These levels help identify overbought and oversold conditions relative to the stock’s Bitcoin valuation.
• Visual Shading: The area between the premium line and the average is shaded, making it easier to see when the premium is above or below its typical level. Optional shading is also available between the high and low levels to visualize the price range.
How to Use:
• Overbought/Undervalued Conditions: When the premium line rises significantly above the average, it may indicate that MSTR stock is overbought compared to its Bitcoin holdings. Conversely, when the premium falls below the average or approaches the low line, it might signal an undervalued opportunity.
• Trend and Mean Reversion: The high and low lines provide insight into extreme levels. Monitoring these alongside the average can assist in identifying potential mean reversion trades.
Customization:
• Calculation Period: The period for calculating the high, low, and average values can be adjusted to suit your trading strategy (default is 14).
• Shading Options: By default, the area between the premium and its average is shaded. You can enable or disable the shading between the high and low as needed.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders and investors following MicroStrategy (MSTR) and its Bitcoin strategy, providing a deeper understanding of the stock’s relationship to its underlying Bitcoin assets. It can assist in identifying key levels for decision-making based on deviations from historical norms.
How to Add the Indicator:
1. Adjust the calculation period (default is 14) to customize the analysis according to your preferred timeframe.
2. Watch for significant deviations of the premium line from its average to identify potential overbought/oversold conditions.
3. Use the high and low levels to help gauge extreme premium values and possible mean reversion opportunities.
Enjoy the analysis and make more informed decisions with the MSTR-BTC Premium Indicator!
This description should be clear and informative for anyone considering using your indicator. It highlights the functionality, purpose, and customization options in a straightforward way. Let me know if you’d like to tweak or adjust any part of it!
Visualization of price changes with Updated LineThis indicator is used to identify the upward or downward momentum of a trend and to visualize the corresponding price fluctuations.
Calculation of the Fluctuation
The price fluctuation (Fluctuation) is calculated and added to the rising fractuation array if it is rising or to the falling fractuation array if it is falling.
Calculating Moving Averages
A moving average is calculated for each fractuation to determine the momentum or strength of the trend. In this case, the higher the value of the moving average, the stronger the momentum in that direction.
Generation of Cross Signals
Detects the point at which a rising moving average crosses a falling moving average. At this crossing point, a triangle shape will be plotted on the chart at the timing of a possible trend turning point or push.
Displaying Lines
Based on this crosspoint, a line is drawn. This line represents a push in the direction of the trend and helps to identify price reversals and pushes. The line will rise when the uptrend is strengthening and fall when the downtrend is gaining momentum.
Thus, the signals and lines used to determine trend pushes and momentum are plotted visually and designed to help traders make decisions based on this information.
European and American Trading Sessions (Blue)The European and American trading sessions, in particular, are known for their volatility and volume, making them key periods for traders to watch.
This Pine Script indicator, "European and American Trading Sessions," helps traders visually distinguish these sessions directly on their charts by shading the background during active hours. We use this indicator in combination with the one that highlights the nighttime phases in white.
Here's a breakdown of how the indicator works:
Key Features of the Script:
Timezone Configuration:
The script allows users to select a timezone from a predefined list that includes UTC, London, Rome, New York, and Tokyo. This flexibility ensures that the session times are accurately displayed regardless of the server or local time of the user.
European Session Parameters:
Users can set the start and end times for the European session. By default, the session runs from 08:00 to 12:00, but the input options make it customizable down to the minute. The European session is highlighted with a light blue background (36% opacity) to avoid overwhelming the chart while still providing a clear visual cue.
American Session Parameters:
Similar to the European session, the American session can be customized. The default times are set from 12:01 to 20:59. This session is highlighted in a slightly darker blue (80% opacity), providing a distinct visual difference from the European session.
Session Timing Calculation:
The script calculates the start and end times for each session based on the selected timezone. It uses the timestamp() function to account for year, month, day, hour, and minute, ensuring that session timings are accurately applied to each day’s trading activity.
Background Highlighting:
Once the session times are defined, the script checks if the current chart time (time) falls within the European or American trading session. If the condition is true, the corresponding background color is applied, visually highlighting the active session directly on the chart. This feature makes it easy to identify when the European or American markets are in play.
Benefits for Traders:
Clear Session Visibility: The color-coded background makes it effortless for traders to identify when key trading sessions are active without needing to constantly check the clock.
Customizable to Your Needs:
With full control over the start and end times for both sessions, traders can adapt the indicator to fit their specific trading hours or preferences.
Timezone Flexibility:
No matter where you're trading from, the ability to set the timezone ensures that the sessions are displayed correctly according to your local time.
Explanation of the Code:
Timezone Selection:
Allows the user to select a timezone from predefined options such as Europe/Rome, America/New_York, etc. This timezone will be used to calculate session start and end times.
Session Timing Inputs:
The script takes user inputs for the start and end times of the European and American trading sessions. These inputs include the hour and minute for both sessions.
Colors:
The color of the European session is set to a blue shade with 36% opacity.
The American session is also colored blue but with a higher opacity of 80%.
Timestamp Calculation:
The timestamp() function converts the input hours and minutes into a time value, accounting for the selected timezone.
Session Conditions:
The script checks if the current time (time) falls within the European or American session. If true, it applies the respective background color for that session. This approach creates clear visual highlights on the chart, marking the active hours of the European and American trading sessions based on user inputs.
Candle Range Theory | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Candle Range Theory Indicator! This powerful tool offers a strategy built around the Candle Range Theory, which analyzes market movements through the relative size and structure of price candles. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Candle Range Theory Indicator :
Implementation of the Candle Range Theory
FVG & Order Block Entry Methods
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator operates by identifying significant price movements through the relative size and structure of candlesticks. A key part of the strategy is determining large candles based on their range compared to the Average True Range (ATR) in a higher timeframe. Once identified, a breakout of either the high wick or the low wick of the large candle is required. This breakout is considered a liquidity grab. After that, the indicator waits for confirmation through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). The confirmation structure must be the opposite direction of the breakout, for example if the high wick is broken, a bearish FVG is required for the short entry. After a confirmation signal is received, the indicator will trigger entry points based on your chosen entry method (FVG or OB), and exit points will be calculated using either a dynamic ATR-based TP/SL method or fixed percentages. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Proft, and Stop-Loss are available.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out because it combines two highly effective entry methods: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). You can choose between these strategies depending on market conditions. Additionally, the dynamic TP/SL system uses the ticker's volatility to automatically calculate stop-loss and take-profit targets. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current tiker. The Candle Range Theory approach offers more flexibility compared to traditional indicators, allowing for better customization and control based on your risk tolerance.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe: Customize the higher timeframe for analysis. Recommended combinations include M15 -> H4, H4 -> Daily, Daily -> Weekly, and Weekly -> Monthly.
HTF Candle Size: Define the size of the higher timeframe candles as Big, Normal, or Small to filter valid setups based on their range relative to ATR.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs and Order Blocks for your entry triggers.
Require Retracement: Enable this option if you want a retracement to the FVG or OB for entry confirmation.
Show HTF Candle Lines: Toggle to display the higher timeframe candle lines for better visual clarity.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Order Blocks
Swing Length: Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Vektorkerzen HighlightThe indicator highlights candles when:
The volume is at least twice the 20-period moving average.
The range (difference between high and low prices) is at least twice the 20-period average range.
Sell Signals EMA+SMAIndicator Overview:
This indicator identifies sell signals based on candlestick patterns, volume conditions, and moving average confirmations. It also plots support and resistance levels based on pivot highs and pivot lows. You can configure different settings like pivot lengths, moving average periods, and candlestick pattern conditions for the sell signals.
Configurable Settings:
Pivot High Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the resistance levels (pivot highs).
Pivot Low Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the support levels (pivot lows).
Volume SMA Length: The period of the simple moving average (SMA) for volume. Used to filter signals based on high volume.
Close SMA Length: The period of the simple moving average (SMA) for the close price. Used for confirmation of sell signals.
Pin Bar High Ratio: The ratio for defining the size of the upper wick in a bearish pin bar.
Pin Bar Low Ratio: The ratio for defining the size of the lower wick in a bearish pin bar.
How It Works:
Support and Resistance:
The indicator plots red lines for resistance (pivot highs) and green lines for support (pivot lows).
These levels are updated as new pivot points are detected based on the configured pivot lengths.
Sell Signal Conditions:
Candlestick Patterns: The indicator checks for two bearish patterns:
Bearish Pin Bar: A candle with a large upper wick and small lower wick where the close is below the open.
Bearish Engulfing: A candle where the current close is lower than the previous low, and the current open is higher than the previous high.
Volume Condition: The volume must be above the configured simple moving average (SMA) of the volume.
Confirmation: A sell signal is confirmed only when the price crosses below the configured SMA for the close price.
Sell Signals:
If all the conditions (candlestick pattern, volume, and confirmation) are met, the indicator will plot a red "Sell" label above the candle.
Additionally, a blue triangle will appear above the candle to indicate that the sell signal has been confirmed.
How to Use:

Gold Scalping Strategy with Precise EntriesThe Gold Scalping Strategy with Precise Entries is designed to take advantage of short-term price movements in the gold market (XAU/USD). This strategy uses a combination of technical indicators and chart patterns to identify precise buy and sell opportunities during times of consolidation and trend continuation.
Key Elements of the Strategy:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
50 EMA: Used as the shorter-term moving average to detect the recent price trend.
200 EMA: Used as the longer-term moving average to determine the overall market trend.
Trend Identification:
A bullish trend is identified when the 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA.
A bearish trend is identified when the 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA.
Average True Range (ATR):
ATR (14) is used to calculate the market's volatility and to set a dynamic stop loss based on recent price movements. Higher ATR values indicate higher volatility.
ATR helps define a suitable stop-loss distance from the entry point.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI (14) is used as a momentum oscillator to detect overbought or oversold conditions.
However, in this strategy, the RSI is primarily used as a consolidation filter to look for neutral zones (between 45 and 55), which may indicate a potential breakout or trend continuation after a consolidation phase.
Engulfing Patterns:
Bullish Engulfing: A bullish signal is generated when the current candle fully engulfs the previous bearish candle, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: A bearish signal is generated when the current candle fully engulfs the previous bullish candle, signaling potential downward momentum.
Precise Entry Conditions:
Long (Buy):
The 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA (bullish trend).
The RSI is between 45 and 55 (neutral/consolidation zone).
A bullish engulfing pattern occurs.
The price closes above the 50 EMA.
Short (Sell):
The 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA (bearish trend).
The RSI is between 45 and 55 (neutral/consolidation zone).
A bearish engulfing pattern occurs.
The price closes below the 50 EMA.
Take Profit and Stop Loss:
Take Profit: A fixed 20-pip target (where 1 pip = 0.10 movement in gold) is used for each trade.
Stop Loss: The stop-loss is dynamically set based on the ATR, ensuring that it adapts to current market volatility.
Visual Signals:
Buy and sell signals are visually plotted on the chart using green and red labels, indicating precise points of entry.
Advantages of This Strategy:
Trend Alignment: The strategy ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the overall trend, as indicated by the 50 and 200 EMAs.
Volatility Adaptation: The use of ATR allows the stop loss to adapt to the current market conditions, reducing the risk of premature exits in volatile markets.
Precise Entries: The combination of engulfing patterns and the neutral RSI zone provides a high-probability entry signal that captures momentum after consolidation.
Quick Scalping: With a fixed 20-pip profit target, the strategy is designed to capture small price movements quickly, which is ideal for scalping.
This strategy can be applied to lower timeframes (such as 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts) for frequent trade opportunities in gold trading, making it suitable for day traders or scalpers. However, proper risk management should always be used due to the inherent volatility of gold.

Liquidity VisualizerThe "Liquidity Visualizer" indicator is designed to help traders visualize potential areas of liquidity on a price chart. In trading, liquidity often accumulates around key levels where market participants have placed their stop orders or pending orders. These levels are commonly found at significant highs and lows, where traders tend to set their stop-losses or take-profit orders. The indicator aims to highlight these areas by drawing unbroken lines that extend indefinitely until breached by the price action.
Specifically, this indicator identifies and marks pivot highs and pivot lows, which are price levels where a trend changes direction. When a pivot high or pivot low is formed, it is represented on the chart with a horizontal line that continues to extend until the price touches or surpasses that level. The line remains in place as long as the level remains unbroken, which means there is potential liquidity still resting at that level.
The concept behind this indicator is that liquidity is likely to be resting at unbroken pivot points. These levels are areas where stop-loss orders or pending buy/sell orders may have accumulated, making them attractive zones for large market participants, such as institutions, to target. By visualizing these unbroken levels, traders can gain insight into where liquidity might be concentrated and where potential price reversals or significant movements could occur as liquidity is taken out.
The indicator helps traders make more informed decisions by showing them key price levels that may attract significant market activity. For instance, if a trader sees multiple unbroken pivot high lines above the current price, they might infer that there is a cluster of liquidity in that area, which could lead to a price spike as those levels are breached. Similarly, unbroken pivot lows may indicate areas where downside liquidity is concentrated.
In summary, this indicator acts as a "liquidity visualizer," providing traders with a clear, visual representation of potential liquidity resting at significant pivot points. This information can be valuable for understanding where price might be drawn to, and where large movements might occur as liquidity is targeted and removed by market participants.

ZERO LAG TRADE SIGNALS by BootcampZeroThe ZERO LAG TRADE SIGNALS by BootcampZero indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify optimal entry and exit points for both short-term scalping and long-term trading across multiple time frames. It combines several well-known technical analysis methods, including moving averages, trend analysis, directional indicators, and adaptive trend calculations, to deliver reliable buy and sell signals.
Short-Term Scalping (Under 5-Minute Time Frames)
For short-term traders who prefer quick trades on lower time frames, such as under 5 minutes, this indicator uses a combination of the EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and SMA (Simple Moving Average) to spot fast trend reversals. The indicator is particularly useful for scalpers because it focuses on detecting short-term price momentum by comparing the faster-moving averages with slower ones, triggering signals based on their crossover.
Buy Signals are generated when a fast-moving EMA crosses above a slower-moving SMA, indicating upward momentum.
Sell Signals are triggered when the fast-moving EMA crosses below the slower-moving SMA, signaling potential downward price movement.
In addition, the Adaptive Trend Finder feature dynamically adjusts to recent price deviations and volatility, making it easier for scalpers to spot the prevailing short-term trend with high confidence. The indicator also uses ADX (Average Directional Index) for momentum confirmation, ensuring that signals are only generated during strong price trends, reducing false positives in sideways markets.
Long-Term Trading (Above 1-Day Charts)
When applied to higher time frames such as daily charts or above, this indicator excels in generating reliable long-term buy and sell signals, perfect for swing traders and long-term investors. The Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) and the Ichimoku Cloud are used to assess long-term trends by filtering out market noise and focusing on sustainable price direction.
KAMA helps to adapt the moving average based on market volatility, providing smoother signals that minimize whipsawing in longer-term trades.
Ichimoku Cloud provides additional trend confirmation by identifying whether the market is bullish or bearish based on the relationship between key lines like the Tenkan-Sen (Conversion Line) and Kijun-Sen (Base Line), and how the current price interacts with the Ichimoku Cloud itself.
The indicator also integrates PPO (Percentage Price Oscillator) to capture divergences between price and momentum, further supporting traders in holding positions for extended periods when the signal strength is robust.
Key Technical Values and Factors for Signals
EMA and SMA Crossover: Fast EMA vs. Slow SMA to detect short-term trend reversals.
ADX: Helps gauge the strength of the trend; signals are only generated in trending markets.
KAMA: Filters noise in long-term trends, providing smooth signals based on market volatility.
Ichimoku Cloud: Offers insight into long-term trends and momentum by analyzing price relative to the cloud.
PPO: Detects divergences between price and momentum for trend continuation or reversal signals.
How It Works
Buy signals are generated when bullish conditions are met, and the indicator confirms momentum with ADX, crossover of the EMAs, or a bullish breakout from the Ichimoku Cloud.
Sell signals are triggered when bearish conditions prevail, confirmed by the same factors in reverse, such as a bearish EMA crossover or weakness in ADX.
By combining these powerful tools, ZERO LAG TRADE SIGNALS by BootcampZero offers traders a comprehensive system for both quick scalping trades and more conservative long-term positioning, providing reliable and adaptive signals across different market conditions.
