Futures Settlement [NeoButane]Traders use settlement prices as both support/resistance and as a target for price to trend towards. The intention of this script is to provide possible entry and exit levels for swing and scalp trades by drawing horizontal lines of true settlement prices provided by TradingView.
The settlement price, which is calculated daily, is used to determine the profit/loss of a trader's futures position. Prior to the daily close, price settlement of futures contracts is performed by taking the average of its traded price during a specified period of time.
Usage
The settlement prices, shown as horizontal lines, serve as support or resistance for entry or exit. There are hundreds of ways to combine this with favorite indicators, or it can be used as levels for pure price action traders.
See how settlement price levels can be used in confluence with oscillators.
Configuration
Toggles to show each settlement. Reprint shows prior weeks or months after they've ended. Back-adjusted futures, which affect expired futures price history on continuous futures charts, should only be enabled on non-standard charts to match the user's chart settings.
What this script does
This script plots the daily, weekly, and monthly settlements for futures, including an average for the two most recent weekly or monthly settlements. The weekly settlement uses the last day of the week's daily settlement and the monthly settlement uses the last day of the month's daily settlement. For symbols that do not have settlement prices, which will be almost if not all symbols that are not futures, the settlement price instead becomes price at the last second before the daily/weekly/monthly close. In those cases, this script becomes a tool for automatically plotting daily/weekly/monthly closes.
See below for two different bitcoin charts. The chart on top is a non-futures chart and a futures chart is at the bottom. Note that CME bitcoin futures settle 4 hours (1500 CST) before bitcoin's daily close (UTC).
How this script works
TradingView has a built-in ability to display daily settlements instead of the actual daily close. This can be enabled in chart settings for futures on the daily timeframe and there is an argument for Pine Script to do so as well. Because settlement times are different for multiple products during the day, the script uses the settlement price from daily timeframe, which is guaranteed to be correct because TradingView is wonderful. I accidentally found the undocumented backadjustment and settlement_at_close when I was trying to use ticker.inherit() to create a symbol with its daily close time changed to another symbol's, which I still haven't figured out. TradingView has since added documentation for both of them, but there's still an ambiguous 'etc.' in the description of ticker.inherit() so maybe there's more secret arguments...
The script is able to be used on non-standard charts by using ticker.standard(), but back-adjustment will need to be changed by input to match chart settings.

CME Trading Hours HighlightDisplay the times when the CME is or isn't trading, on a non-CME symbol.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange hours are usually from 17:00 one day to 16:00 the next, with an hour's break. Trading halts from Friday evening to Sunday evening. The exchange is in Chicago.
You might want to display these hours if you trade the same asset on a different exchange. For example, you might want to overlay the CME BTC1! hours on a Coinbase BTC chart to see how trading in these futures contracts affects the market.
Inputs:
Shade Outside Trading Hours - If selected (the default), then the chart background is shaded when the CME is closed. If unselected, the background is shaded when it's open.
Highlight Color - The colour to use for the background shade.
Just for fun, I wanted to publish a useful script that only took up one line 😁
CME Gap Oscillator [CryptoSea]Introducing the CME Gap Oscillator , a pioneering tool designed to illuminate the significance of market gaps through the lens of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). By leveraging gap sizes in relation to the Average True Range (ATR), this indicator offers a unique perspective on market dynamics, particularly around the critical weekly close periods.
Key Features
Gap Measurement : At its core, the CME Oscillator quantifies the size of weekend gaps in the context of the market's volatility, using the ATR to standardize this measurement.
Dynamic Levels : Incorporating a dynamic extreme level calculation, the tool adapts to current market conditions, providing real-time insights into significant gap sizes and their implications.
Band Analysis : Through the introduction of upper and lower bands, based on standard deviations, traders can visually assess the oscillator's position relative to typical market ranges.
Enhanced Insights : A built-in table tracks the frequency of the oscillator's breaches beyond these bands within the latest CME week, offering a snapshot of recent market extremities.
Settings & Customisation
ATR-Based Measurement : Choose to measure gap sizes directly or in terms of ATR for a volatility-adjusted view.
Band Period Adjustability : Tailor the oscillator's sensitivity by modifying the band calculation period.
Dynamic Level Multipliers : Adjust the multiplier for dynamic levels to suit your analysis needs.
Visual Preferences : Customise the oscillator, bands, and table visuals, including color schemes and line styles.
In the example below, it demonstrates that the CME will want to return to the 0 value, this would be considered a reset or gap fill.
Application & Strategy
Deploy the CME Oscillator to enhance your market analysis
Market Sentiment : Gauge weekend market sentiment shifts through gap analysis, refining your strategy for the week ahead.
Volatility Insights : Use the oscillator's ATR-based measurements to understand the volatility context of gaps, aiding in risk management.
Trend Identification : Identify potential trend continuations or reversals based on the frequency and magnitude of gaps exceeding dynamic levels.
The CME Oscillator stands out as a strategic tool for traders focusing on gap analysis and volatility assessment. By offering a detailed breakdown of market gaps in relation to volatility, it empowers users with actionable insights, enabling more informed trading decisions across a range of markets and timeframes.
CME Gap Detector [CryptoSea]The CME Gap Indicator , is a tool designed to identify and visualize potential price gaps in the cryptocurrency market, particularly focusing on gaps that occur during the weekend trading sessions. By highlighting these gaps, traders can gain insights into potential market movements and anticipate price behavior.
Key Features
Gap Identification: The indicator identifies gaps in price between the Friday close and the subsequent opening price on Monday. It plots these gaps on the chart, allowing traders to easily visualize and analyze their significance.
Weekend Price Comparison: It compares the closing price on Friday with the opening price on Monday to determine whether a gap exists and its magnitude.
Customizable Visualization: Traders have the option to customize the visualization of the gaps, including the color scheme for better clarity and visibility on the chart.
Neutral Candle Color Option: Users can choose to display neutral candle colors, enhancing the readability of the chart and reducing visual clutter.
How it Works
Data Fetching and Calculation: The indicator fetches the daily close price and calculates whether a gap exists between the Friday close and the subsequent Monday opening price.
Plotting: It plots the current price and the previous Friday's close on the chart, making it easy for traders to compare and analyze.
Gradient Fill: The indicator incorporates a gradient fill feature to visually represent the magnitude of the gap, providing additional insights into market sentiment.
Weekend Line Logic: It includes logic to identify Sunday bars and mark them on the chart, aiding traders in distinguishing weekend trading sessions.
Application
Gap Trading Strategy: Traders can use the identified gaps as potential entry or exit points in their trading strategies, considering the tendency of price to fill gaps over time.
Market Sentiment Analysis: Analyzing the presence and size of weekend gaps can provide valuable insights into market sentiment and participant behavior.
Risk Management: Understanding the existence and significance of gaps can help traders manage their risk exposure and make informed decisions.
The CME Gap indicator offers traders a valuable tool for analyzing weekend price gaps in the cryptocurrency market, empowering them to make informed trading decisions and capitalize on market opportunities.
ILM CFTC COT Disaggregated PlotUse this indicator on Daily Timeframe
Please refer to the below link for CFTC Disaggregated COT
www.cftc.gov
This script is very similar to COT Financial Plot indicator except that it plots the data for Disaggregated Futures
Crypto BTC Correlation Scalper Gaps StrategyThis strategy is based on the gaps theory.
In this case we have the BTC futures from CME, which acts in a way similar to stocks, and we can have gaps present between close/open session, and also sometimes between same candle due to huge movements intra candle.
At the same time I have combined this with a daily moving average, to help out a bit with the trend, since we are looking at small timeframe like 1-15/30min .
On top of that we have a reverse option, where long = short and viceversa, which can be used with against BTC pairs .
Rule are simple:
For long, we have a long gap and the close of the correlated candle is above daily sma
For short, we have a short gap and the close of the correlated candle is below daily sma
For exit:
For exit, we take the highest highest values for short entry TP, meaning we get the different from the HH and rest the current open candle distance, and use that distance as a TP.
At the same time for long entry, we take the lowest low value and rest current close of the candle to that value, and we get the TP.
Can also be applied this logic for SL aswell but from the test I have found out that exiting based on a reverse condition(when tp is not being hit), gives better results/dd overall.
If you have any questions, please let me know !

█ HOW TO USE IT
This indicator allows you to see changes for each category within TradingView without having to refer directly to each report.
Margin Zones[kryptodude]This indicator is based on the margin requirements of the CME exchange.
Zones act as support and resistance levels, which are more likely to have a price reaction.
The recommended zones for entering a position, as well as taking profits, are zones 50 and 100.
For example, you decide to open a short position on the +100 zone,
in which case it is recommended to place a stop-loss behind the zone.
Take-profit part at -50 and -100, based on the zones from the formed maximum at the +100 zone.
Settings:
Select the currency pair and the exchange on which the indicator will work, For example BINANCE:BTCUSD
"Margin" (for example,now 68280, the next day the margin will be different)
"Tick cost" for BTC = 25 or 12.5
taken from the CME exchange.
"Price max"- High yesterday (for example 44451).
"Price min"- Low yesterday (for example 41280).
Please note, with strong volatility,
it is recommended to change the Tick cost instead of 25 to put 12.5
And also, only dots " . " not commas ", " work in the indicator.
CME Gap BTCThis script highlights the CME gap. It takes the daily close from Friday from CME Futures Bitcoin security (can be switched) and plots the difference from current close.
With the premise that CME gaps will be filled next week; when the current close is higher than Friday close, it plots a bear color, when the current close is lower, it plots a bull color. Colors can be changed
BTC COT Delta BBitcoin CME COT Delta Strategy
---------------------------------------
Reading 4 largest long positions and 4 largest short positions, this script uses (shorts - longs) to produce a long/short signal.
• When delta <= buy threshold, a "long" signal will appear on the chart.
• When shorts >= sell threshold, a "short" signal will appear on the chart.
To see the indicator below, since it's not possible to mix the two, use this script:
** This is not a trading advice, it's for research purposes only. Do not trade based upon these signals.
Ether (Ethereum) CME Gaps [NeoButane]Detects gaps in trading for CME's "Ether" cash-settled futures. This will show gaps as they happen on the 24/7 charts that crypto exchanges use. It is not usable on CME's tickers themselves, as gaps in trading are not displayed.
This indicator will only display if viewing an ETH chart.
More information on the CME ETH futures here:
www.cmegroup.com
Based on:
What's different: CME's BTC and ETH markets trade the same hours, but one may hit a limit breaker while there may be a case where the other does not.
BITCOIN CME FUTURES GAPSDisplays information about Bitcoin CME Futures Gaps over BTCUSD (or XBTUSD) charts.
You can configure a threshold percentage to only display gaps whose size is greater than that percentage. The gap precentage is calculated based on the current close price.
Gaps up are displayed in Orange, gaps down in Green
KZ SessionsThis shows killzone sessions for London NY, Asia sessions.
In addition to the opening hours of session, the pre-market and closing time periods are also marked with a grey color
Generally these are consided period of high activity and can experience more volatility in these periods
I also have enabled it to display the session times even on weekends. There is no session open at such times but heightened activity is noticed in these periods even on weekends.
If want to disable showing it on weekends, then remove ":1234567" from all the lines in code
CME Equity Futures Price Limits
Breakers for CME's futures contracts. Should work on CST/EST/UTC charts.
CME says it uses the last 30 seconds of the session to grab a reference price, so I took the open of the last session's candle because it's easier.
Out of session breakers: +/-5%
Limit downs: -7%/-13%/-20%
There are some minor nuances for the later part of the NY session but I don't really care to add that in right now.
Options:
- Input a manual reference price to override the selected price for accuracy.
- Show only the current/last session's limits. This breaks the in session limit down lines.
Live prices:

It's best to check the last updated reference price to ensure it's correct.
Bitcoin CME Gaps [NeoButane]Simple script that checks for gaps in price from CME. tickerid(x, y, sess) doesn't seem to be applying correctly for the ticker specified at the moment so there are a couple of 'gaps' peppered on lower timeframes.
Gaps are legitimate price levels to look as a support or resistance. The theory is that volume needs to be gap filled, but I currently believe it's an easy entry/exit trade for those who can move the market. I don't think there is sound analysis behind the why, but it is real.
It's Sunday and 2300UTCCME bitcoin trading opens at 5p.m. CT (UTC-6) on Sunday. This translates to 2300 UTC.
www.cmegroup.com
Orange: CME open hour candle's range is smaller than the previous hourly candle
Fuchsia: CME open hour candle's range is larger than the previous hourly candle
If there is a blue highlight after CME open, that means the candle after the open has a larger range. Otherwise there is no highlight.
CME & XBT - BTC Futures Settlement DatesHi everyone
This in an indicator inspired by Scarrff
I added the XBT quarterly and yearly settlement dates
Enjoy

CME Gap Finder - BitcoinOnly for Bitcoin!
This indicator locates weekly gaps created by the CME Futures market for Bitcoin.
As you can see, Bitcoin tends to close the weekly gaps created in the futures market so I thought this could be a very useful tool.
Instead of having to look between multiple charts, this simply overlays the past weeks open and close should a gap appear.
I hope you find this indicator useful!
Cheers!
Open Interest:CME e-o-d vs CFTC e-o-wCFTC only publishes total OI on fridays, related to last Tuesday.
But what happened since last Tuesday?
CME Vol & Open Interest data is recorded&exported daily by quandl.com to tradingview
via the che CHRIS/CME datasets
www.quandl.com
Eg. Nat Gas next outstanding cntract n. 20, field n. 7(OI)
@quandl.com:
www.quandl.com
is exported @tradingview:
www.tradingview.com
Every outstanding contract's OI & vol is exported (black column), but not the total (yellow line):
tiny.cc
This script sums up all the existing outstanding contract's OI for the future (the black column), so one can have an idea of the total OI for the day (Yellow line).
As numer of outstanding contracts varies from future to future,Eg:
E-mini (ES) has 4 contracts, Gold(GC) 16 cntrcts, NatGas(NG) has 43, WTI(CL) has 38 etc
the scrips tries to guess how many exist for it and sums them up, to have the total OI for tha day
Number ofoutstanding contracts exported by quandl.com to tradingview is taken from
s3.amazonaws.com
There are 2 params you can enter on the script:
* override the ticket symbol on the chart ,if script cannot guessit or you need a different one
* enter the "preliminary" OI that is published by CME early the next day, butb not yet exported by quandl to tradingview
This script is Open so anyone can copy and modifyit for its use.
Please post comments and ideas if you find it useful
I try to keep a log of my work here:
CBOE/CME BTC FUTURE LISThow to pull data from quandl.com
this script for CBOE/CME BTC FUTURE
ex.
if you want to pull www.quandl.com you input "QUANDL:CFTC/1330E1_FO_ALL|n" as TV symbol.("n" is table number)
MY_CME eod OI vs CFTC eow OIDaily e-o-d Open Interest as published by CME.
As CFTC COT Open Interest relates to last Tuesday, here you can have an idea how things evolved day-by-day since then.
As CME total OI is not accessibl as data, here I sum OI of the next 9 outstanding contracts, which gives a fair idea of the trend in OI
