RTH Candles Overlay--Overview
Unlock a new way to analyze Regular Trading Hours (RTH) with this powerful indicator! Designed for traders who focus on the 09:30–16:00 market session (default EST), it redefines hourly price action by aligning candlesticks with the RTH start at 09:30, rather than the standard XX:00. It also plots hourly high/low lines and projection zones to pinpoint potential support, resistance, and price targets. Plus, it displays compact hourly candlesticks on the right side of your chart for quick, at-a-glance analysis.
--Key Features
Shifted RTH Candles: Unlike standard hourly candles starting at XX:00, this indicator aligns candles with the RTH open at 09:30 (e.g., 09:30–10:30, 10:30–11:30). This captures true market momentum from the opening bell, offering a more accurate view of price action.
Session High/Low Lines: Marks the high and low prices for each session with clear, labeled lines (e.g., “0930-1030 High”) to highlight key levels.
Projection Zones: Draws shaded boxes above and below each session’s range (default: 0.25 and 0.5 Projection levels) to show potential price targets or reversal zones.
Shifted Candlesticks: Displays each shifted Hour as a candlestick (open, high, low, close) on the right side of the chart, with bullish candles in green and bearish in gray for easy comparison.
Vertical Markers: Dotted vertical lines mark the start of each period (e.g., 09:30) for clear time segmentation.
Historical Analysis: View up to 5 days of past sessions to spot trends and recurring levels.
Fully Customizable: Adjust session times, timezone, colors, and projection levels to fit your trading style.
--How It Works
RTH-Aligned Candles: The indicator divides the trading day into up to seven sessions (default: hourly from 09:30 to 16:00 EST). Each session starts at times like 09:30, 10:30, etc., aligning with the RTH open instead of standard hourly intervals. This shift ensures you see price action as it unfolds during key market hours.
High/Low Lines: Horizontal lines mark the highest and lowest prices for each session, with customizable labels for easy reference.
Fibonacci Zones: Shaded boxes extend above (0.25 to 0.5 times the session’s range) and below (–0.25 to –0.5) each session’s high/low, highlighting potential price targets or areas where price may reverse.
Candles: Each shifted hour is summarized as a candlestick on the right side of the chart, showing open, high, low, and close prices. Bullish candles are green, bearish are gray, and you can adjust their size and spacing.
Vertical Lines: Dotted lines at the start of each session (e.g., 09:30) help you visualize session boundaries.
Historical Data: Analyze up to 5 days of past sessions to identify patterns or key levels.
--Settings
Timezone: Set your market’s timezone (default: EST, -4 hours).
Session Times: Customize up to seven sessions (default: hourly from 09:30 to 16:00).
Max Days to Plot: Show up to 5 days of historical sessions (default: 1 day).
Candle Styles: Toggle session candles, adjust width, spacing, and offset. Customize bullish (green) and bearish (gray) colors.
High/Low Lines: Enable/disable high/low lines, set color (default: gray), style (solid, dotted, dashed), and label size. Optionally show session open lines and labels.
Fibonacci Zones: Turn projection zones on/off, adjust levels (default: 0.25 and 0.5), and choose fill color (default: translucent gray).
Vertical Lines: Toggle session start lines and customize their color and style.
--Best Used For
Day Trading: Spot key levels and price targets during RTH sessions, aligned with the 09:30 market open.
RTH Analysis: Get a clearer picture of price action with candles that match the market’s true rhythm, starting at 09:30 instead of XX:00.
Fibonacci Trading: Use projection zones to identify potential support, resistance, or breakout levels.
Session Comparison: Compare price action across sessions using compact candlesticks and historical data.
--How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart (works best on 1-hour or lower timeframes).
2. Set the timezone and session times to match your market (default: 09:30–16:00 EST).
3. Enable/disable features like Fibonacci zones, high/low lines, or session candles in the settings.
4. Use the shaded zones to anticipate price targets or reversals based on Fibonacci levels.
5. Analyze session candles and historical data to spot trends or recurring levels.
--Why This Indicator?
The RTH Session Candles with projection Zones indicator is a game-changer for traders who want to focus on the market’s true rhythm. By aligning candles with the 09:30 RTH open, it captures price action as it happens, unlike standard hourly charts. Paired with projection zones and clear session markings, it’s a simple yet powerful tool to identify key levels and potential price moves. Perfect for day traders, swing traders, or anyone who wants a cleaner, more precise view of the market.
Multitimeframe
Custom EMA High/Low & SMA - [GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA] Custom EMA High/Low & SMA -
1. Overview
This indicator overlays a dynamic combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Simple Moving Average (SMA) to identify momentum shifts and potential entry/exit zones. It highlights bullish or bearish conditions using color-coded SMA logic and provides visual Buy/Sell signals based on smart crossover and state-based logic.
2. Purpose / Use Case
Designed for traders who want to visually identify momentum breakouts, trend reversals, or pullback opportunities, this tool helps:
Spot high-probability buy/sell zones
Confirm price strength relative to volatility bands (EMA High/Low)
Time entries based on clean visual cues
It works well in trend-following strategies, particularly in intraday or swing setups across any liquid market (indices, stocks, crypto, etc.).
3. Key Features & Logic
✅ EMA High/Low Channel: Acts as dynamic support/resistance boundaries using 20-period EMAs on high and low prices.
✅ Timeframe-Specific SMA: A 33-period SMA calculated from a user-defined timeframe (default: 10-minute) for flexible multi-timeframe analysis.
✅ Signal Generation:
Buy: When SMA drops below EMA Low and close is above EMA High.
Sell: When SMA rises above EMA High and price closes below both EMAs.
Optionally, signals also fire based on SMA color changes (green = bullish, red = bearish).
✅ Strict or Loose Signal Logic: Choose between precise crossovers or broader state-based conditions.
✅ Debugging Tools: Optional markers for granular insight into condition logic.

ICT Sensitive Key Levels [Mariinus]Indicator Overview – Inspired by ICT Concepts
This indicator is inspired by the teachings of Inner Circle Trader (ICT), whose philosophies and principles have greatly shaped the way I view price action. One of the most powerful lessons that stuck with me is his quote:
"All you need is OHLC."
Another fundamental concept that underpins this tool is the idea that:
"Price is constantly moving in cycles from Premium or Discount to Equilibrium, from Equilibrium to Discount to Premium."
With these core ideas in mind, this indicator was developed to help traders who are already using an ICT-based framework. In addition to plotting the standard OHLC levels, the ICT Sensitive Key Levels indicator also includes derived levels that provide deeper Market insight. These include the Equilibrium of the full candle range (High to Low) as well as the Equilibrium of the wicks – offering a more nuanced view of price balance and potential turning points, in line with ICT’s core concepts.
⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
This is not a standalone trading plan.
This is not a buy or sell signal generator.
Instead, this tool is designed to support traders who follow ICT principles by helping them identify higher-probability PD Arrays – the key zones where setups are more likely to occur. If your trading plan includes looking for specific PD Arrays and structural frameworks taught by ICT, then this indicator is a visual aid to refine and focus your attention on the areas where your framework has a higher probability of playing out.
🔁 Backtesting & Daily Preparation
In addition to improving your real-time analysis, this indicator is also a valuable tool for accelerated backtesting . Rather than manually drawing out levels, the indicator automatically provides them, allowing you to analyze past price action faster and more efficiently .
It’s also ideal for preparing your trading day . By loading the indicator before the session starts, you get a clear visual of key levels that may play a role in your strategy. And if you find the chart too cluttered with lines, simply copy the ones that matter to you, draw them manually, and then turn the indicator off to keep your chart clean while keeping your zones intact.
⚙️ Explanation of the Settings
You can combine up to 4 timeframes to monitor their respective levels while operating on a lower timeframe. For each timeframe, you can:
• Set a lookback period to control how far back you want to calculate levels.
• Choose to display or hide the levels of the current candle , which helps you monitor intra-candle ebbs and flows.
Each level (e.g., High, Low, Open, Close, Equilibrium) can be customized:
• Color
• Line style
• Line width
• To hide a level , simply set its opacity to zero.
You can also enable dividers to clearly mark the start and end of higher timeframe candles on your lower timeframe chart. These dividers are also fully customizable:
• Color
• Style
• Width
• And again, if you prefer a cleaner chart, you can set the opacity to zero to hide them completely.
This setup gives you full control over how much or how little visual data you want to see, aligning the tool with your personal trading workflow.
💡 Example Use Cases
These examples are for educational purposes only. This tool is not financial advice and should always be used in conjunction with your own trading plan—whether it involves Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, or a custom combination of ICT-based elements.
• Example 1: A 1H Bearish Fair Value Gap overlapping with the Equilibrium Key Level of the Previous Day's Range – a high-probability zone for reaction.
• Example 2: A 1H Bullish Fair Value Gap in Discount, overlapping with the Equilibrium of Two Days Ago, followed by a move into a 1H Bearish Order Block that coincides with the Previous Day’s Equilibrium.
• Example 3: The same 1H PD Arrays viewed from a 4H chart, alongside Weekly Price Levels – giving you a higher timeframe context that supports or invalidates lower timeframe setups.
• Example 4: A combination of two timeframes for added context. A 4H Bullish Fair Value Gap is nested inside the current Weekly Equilibrium Key Level . On the 15M chart , we observe a reaction that creates an Inversion Fair Value Gap , which aligns with the Equilibrium Key Level of the previous 4H candle .
This indicator doesn’t replace your trading plan—it enhances your ability to execute it. It’s a precision tool made for ICT traders who understand context, structure, and probability.

Order + Breaker Blocks HTFThis indicator is a Hidden Liquidity Script, being a much more refined and precise version of "Order Blocks" also known as "Supply and Demand" zones.
This script is more refined and precise as this script is the only script that displays the exact body part of blocks on multiple timeframes, showing potentially powerful price reversal zones for taking a long or short.
This is a PRICE ACTION indicator, demonstrating price action that can result in potential good support/resistance levels for taking a long or short trade.
This indicator only displays the body part of order blocks, instead of including wicks that all other indicators do. That makes this script a much more refined version of all other scripts out there.
Not only that, this script can collate multiple timeframes into one indicator, again something other scripts cannot do.
This script is also unique compared to other Hidden Liquidity style scripts in that you have full control over each Order Block so you can see each individual block on a chart, whilst other charts combine them into a zone instead. This refined version gives you precise potential entries and much further refinement as well as more thorough backtesting capabilities.
This script also can highlight order blocks that pass THROUGH a Fair Value Gap. These are known as 'Breaker Blocks'. These powerful blocks can be places of interest as support or resistance for a long or short trade. Note: This script shows the body part of a block only and not the wick.
Breaker Blocks, where significant displacement has occurred in price past a block can be more powerful. This script does not highlight Fair Value Gaps themselves, only order blocks (supply and demand) and breaker blocks through displacement in price (through an FVG). FVGs on their own can be weaker without order blocks behind them hence they are not highlighted.
The BODY of the order block, and the 0.5 of the order block are key regions for considering a trade, treating that level as either resistance or support.
Important: PLEASE NOTE: This indicator will only show timeframes that are higher than or the same as the current chart timeframe.
For Example, only blocks 3 Days or higher will show on a 3D chart. It will not show 12h blocks on a 3D chart. You would need to go to a 12 hour chart with the 12h blocks showing to see all Blocks that are 12h or higher drawn.
SETTINGS:
There is options to change the colours of the boxes and to differentiate between Order Blocks and stronger Breaker Blocks if desired.
If this is NOT desired, make all color options the same color,.
Shown below is blue Order Blocks (Supply and Demand)
Shown below there is Pink Breaker Blocks.
There is options to weaken the colour of blocks that have been tapped by a wick and thus partially used up, also called partially "mitigated".These blocks can be considered weaker support/resistance.
Once a block has had a wick or body close over it entirely, the block can be considered fully "mitigated" and will disappear from the indicator once that candle has closed. This block level can now be considered too weak. You can also choose to not show these partially mitigated blocks at all.
The chart above shows pale Violet blocks as partially mitigated or "tapped" blocks.
The blocks in HOT BRIGHT Violet are untapped and potentially stronger levels for a Long or Short trade.
See below and example of a HOT PINK stronger level with a 1,2,3,4,5 Days of blocks in the one area.
See below an example of a weaker pink level. Still valid, but potentially riskier. There is a weaker 5D Block in pale pink and no other days in that same zone.
Additional SETTINGS:
Further options include, if selected: Counting the number of fair value gaps an order block may pass through. More FVGs an order block (now a breaker block) passes through can strengthen the support of that block level, making a reversal more likely.
There is an option of showing old mitigated order blocks and changing the color of these on the chart. This can aid in backtesting of levels.
Further Settings include:
- an option to remove very thin blocks that may not be strong points.
- an option to denote with a character such as a * blocks that have their EQ 0.5 region wicked - these can be considered weaker.
- an option to denote with an additional * or another character blocks that are barely tapped by a small percent so you know they are still considered quite strong.
- an option to show how many candles form the order block.
Additional Options include:
- an option to show blocks only within a specific price range or percent range of the current price.
- an option to only look X number of bars back.
There is Options regarding labelling, and Border widths on boxes.
It is ESSENTIAL to do your own research and backtesting!
It is recommended to combine these levels with other concepts for added confluence.
Other indicators are NOT included in this script. This is purely a refined order block script for the BODY of a block only.
You can combine Order Blocks and stronger versions known as Breaker Blocks in this script with other indicators or concepts to form a Full Trading Strategy.
Other potential concepts to combine, not shown in this script can include Smart Money Concepts, Market Structure, Fibonnaccis, SMAs, EMAs or any other concept to give added confluence to the support / resistance levels identified in this script that may indicate that the level is stronger.
This indicator is not a trading strategy on its own. It is best used in combination with other concepts to improve the success.
Backtesting this indicator is highly recommended and incorporated into a full trading system of your own design. This only identifies possible key regions based on Price Action Strategies.
This indicator simply makes the identification of these hot levels easier and simpler to find, especially across multiple timeframes.
A strong bright zone on the indicator can be a stronger level than a weak partial block that is in light colours.
Again -Please do your own research and backtesting.
These indicators make finding these levels much much simpler and easier when combined with a full trading strategy.
Any feedback is welcome.

Order Blocks v2Order Blocks v2 – Smart OB Detection with Time & FVG Filters
Order Blocks v2 is an advanced tool designed to identify potential institutional footprints in the market by dynamically plotting bullish and bearish order blocks.
This indicator refines classic OB logic by combining:
Fractal-based break conditions
Time-level filtering (Power of 3)
Optional Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation
Real-time plotting and auto-invalidation
Perfect for traders using ICT, Smart Money, or algorithmic timing models like Hopplipka.
🧠 What the indicator does
Detects order blocks after break of bullish/bearish fractals
Supports 3-bar or 5-bar fractal structures
Allows OB detection based on close breaks or high/low breaks
Optionally confirms OBs only if followed by a Fair Value Gap within N candles
Filters OBs based on specific time levels (3, 7, 11, 14) — core anchors in many algorithmic models
Automatically deletes invalidated OBs once price closes through the zone
⚙️ How it works
The indicator:
Tracks local fractal highs/lows
Once a fractal is broken by price, it backtracks to identify the best OB candle (highest bullish or lowest bearish)
Validates the level by checking:
OB type logic (close or HL break)
Time stamp match with algorithmic time anchors (e.g. 3, 7, 11, 14 – known from the Power of 3 concept)
Optional FVG confirmation after OB
Plots OB zones as lines (body or wick-based) and removes them if invalidated by a candle close
This ensures traders see only valid, active levels — removing noise from broken or out-of-context zones.
🔧 Customization
Choose 3-bar or 5-bar fractals
OB detection type: close break or HL break
Enable/disable OBs only on times 3, 7, 11, 14 (Hopplipka style)
Optional: require nearby FVG for validation
Line style: solid, dashed, or dotted
Adjust OB length, width, color, and use body or wick for OB height
🚀 How to use it
Add the script to your chart
Choose your preferred OB detection mode and filters
Use plotted OB zones to:
Anticipate price rejections and reversals
Validate Smart Money or ICT-based entry zones
Align setups with algorithmic time sequences (3, 7, 11, 14)
Filter out invalid OBs automatically, keeping your chart clean
The tool is useful on any timeframe but performs best when combined with a liquidity-based or time-anchored trading model.
💡 What makes it original
Combines fractal logic with OB confirmation and time anchors
Implements time-based filtering inspired by Hopplipka’s interpretation of the "Power of 3"
Allows OB validation via optional FVG follow-up — rarely available in public indicators
Auto-cleans invalidated OBs to reduce clutter
Designed to reflect market structure logic used by institutions and algorithms
💬 Why it’s worth using
Order Blocks v2 simplifies one of the most nuanced parts of SMC: identifying clean and high-probability OBs.
It removes subjectivity, adds clear timing logic, and integrates optional confluence tools — like FVG.
For traders serious about algorithmic-level structure and clean setups, this tool delivers both logic and clarity.
⚠️ Important
This indicator:
Is not a signal generator or financial advice tool
Is intended for experienced traders using OB/SMC/time-based logic
Does not predict market direction — it provides visual structural levels only

Signal Analysis & Usage Guidelines
Buy Signal Mechanics
The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance
Multiple session POC levels provide resistance confluence
Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions
Multiple bearish order blocks exist below current price
Avoid Sell Signals When:
Signal appears BELOW the VAL (selling into support)
Price is in LVN green zones (momentum could continue)
No clear resistance structure above current price
Volume profile shows heavy buying pressure (high bull percentages)
Signal occurs during Asian session ranges without clear direction
Multiple bullish order blocks exist above current price
Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence
Signal Quality Assessment
Grade A Signals (Highest Probability):
Signal at VAL/VAH with order block confluence
Fibonacci level alignment (61.8%, 78.6%)
Volume profile shows 70%+ dominance in signal direction
Multiple timeframe structure alignment

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.
headmapOverview
Advanced Price-Action Zones is a comprehensive, professional-grade indicator designed to automatically map and visualize the most critical historical price levels on your chart. Moving beyond simple lines, it renders these levels as dynamic, semi-transparent zones, providing an intuitive 'heatmap' of significant support, resistance, and potential liquidity areas.
This tool is built for traders who demand a clean, data-rich chart that adapts in real-time to market movements, with a fully customizable interface for personal tuning.
Core Features
Automated Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically plots the high and low of the previous Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and 12-Hour sessions, forming the backbone of your structural analysis.
Heatmap-Style Visualization: Levels are displayed as colored zones rather than simple lines. This allows you to instantly spot areas of confluence where multiple historical levels overlap, indicating stronger S/R.
Dynamic Daily Highlighting: The most recent previous day's high/low is shown in a primary color (default: yellow). As a new day begins, these zones automatically fade to a distinct historical color (default: grey), keeping your focus on the most relevant and recent price action.
Intraday Liquidity Targets: Temporary 12-hour zones are plotted with "L. Shorts" and "L. Longs" labels, highlighting potential short-term reversal areas or stop-run targets. These zones automatically expire to keep the chart clean.
Daily Range Context: A subtle background fill visualizes the entire range of the previous trading day, extending into the current session to provide immediate context for breakouts or range-bound behavior.
Toggleable Volume Data: Get deeper insights with floating labels showing the volume on the bar that created a key Daily, Weekly, or Monthly level. This feature can be turned on or off in the settings.
Full Customization: Every color for every zone type, background, and text element is fully adjustable via the indicator's input menu.
On-Chart Informative Legend: A clean legend in the top-right corner explains the color-coding and the implied importance of each timeframe.
How to Interpret the Visuals
High-Timeframe Levels (Monthly/Red, Weekly/Orange): Use these major zones to identify significant market turning points, high-probability reversal areas, and logical take-profit targets for swing trades.
Mid-Timeframe Levels (Daily): The yellow zones (most recent) represent the immediate battlefield. A decisive move beyond this area can set the tone for the session. The grey zones provide a historical map of prior daily structures.
Short-Timeframe Levels (12-Hour/Blue): Treat these as intraday targets. They often represent areas where stop-losses and liquidations might be clustered, making them magnets for price in the short term.
Disclaimer & Technical Notes
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or trade signals. All trading involves significant risk.
Technical Note on lookahead: This indicator correctly uses lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on when requesting higher-timeframe data. This is the standard, industry-accepted method to ensure that a completed historical value (e.g., the previous day's high) is plotted consistently and accurately across all chart timeframes. It does not "repaint" in the conventional sense of changing past signals, but rather ensures data stability.

T3 Moving Average with Multiple EMAsT3 Moving Average with Multiple EMAs
Short Title: T3 + EMAs
Overview
The T3 Moving Average with Multiple EMAs is a versatile trend-following indicator that combines the smooth, adaptive T3 Moving Average with eight customizable multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). Designed for traders seeking clarity in trend direction and momentum, this indicator overlays on the price chart to highlight dynamic support/resistance levels and trend alignment across multiple timeframes.
Key Features
T3 Moving Average: A highly responsive, smoothed moving average (default: 9-period, 0.7 volume factor) that reduces lag while maintaining accuracy, ideal for identifying short-term trends and reversals.
Eight Multi-Timeframe EMAs: Plots eight EMAs (default lengths: 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233) sourced from user-defined timeframes (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h), providing a comprehensive view of short-, medium-, and long-term trends.
Customizable Timeframes: Each EMA can be independently set to a specific timeframe, allowing traders to analyze cross-timeframe trend alignment.
Theme Support: Offers "Dark" and "Light" themes with optimized colors for visual clarity and chart compatibility.
Flexible Parameters: Adjust T3 length, volume factor, EMA lengths, and timeframes to suit various markets and trading styles (scalping, swing trading, or long-term investing).
How It Works
The T3 Moving Average is calculated using a multi-stage EMA formula weighted by a volume factor, offering smoother trend tracking than traditional EMAs. The eight EMAs, sourced from higher or lower timeframes using request.security, provide a layered perspective on price trends. Faster EMAs (e.g., 8, 13) react to short-term price movements, while slower EMAs (e.g., 144, 233) reflect longer-term trends. The indicator plots all lines on the price chart with distinct, theme-adjusted colors for easy identification.
Usage
Trend Identification: Use the T3 MA for short-term trend signals and the EMAs to confirm broader trend direction. A price above multiple EMAs suggests a bullish trend; below indicates bearish.
EMA Crossovers: Watch for crossovers between faster and slower EMAs (e.g., 8 crossing 21) for potential entry/exit signals.
Support/Resistance: Treat slower EMAs (e.g., 89, 144) as dynamic support/resistance levels, especially on higher timeframes.
Timeframe Alignment: Align trades with the trend direction of higher-timeframe EMAs for higher-probability setups.
Customization: Adjust T3 and EMA settings to match your trading style or asset volatility.
Settings
T3 Parameters:
Length (default: 9): Period for T3 calculation.
Volume Factor (default: 0.7): Controls T3 smoothness (0.1–1.0).
EMA Parameters:
Lengths (default: 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233): Period for each EMA.
Timeframes (default: 5m, 5m, 15m, 15m, 1h, 1h, 4h, 4h): Select from 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, D, W, or M.
Theme: Choose "Dark" (vibrant colors) or "Light" (softer colors) for chart compatibility.
Notes
Combine with other tools (e.g., RSI, support/resistance, or volume) for confirmation.
Optimize settings for specific markets (e.g., crypto, forex, stocks) or timeframes.
The indicator is overlayed on the price chart for seamless integration with price action analysis.
Author’s Note
This indicator was designed to provide traders with a clear, multi-timeframe perspective on trends using the T3 MA and EMAs. Feedback is welcome to enhance this tool for the TradingView community!

Rpaid Killzone Breakout v3.6Final Indicator Title: Rapid Killzone Break & HTF Levels
Overview
Welcome to the Rapid Killzone Break & HTF Levels, an all-in-one trading toolkit designed for precision and context. This indicator was built to solve a common problem for day traders: how to combine a precise, lower-timeframe (LTF) entry model with the essential context of higher-timeframe (HTF) levels.
This tool is founded on a session-based breakout strategy, leveraging the volatility and liquidity generated during specific market hours (the "Killzones"). It then layers critical HTF support and resistance levels onto your chart, allowing you to make more informed trading decisions without ever needing to switch timeframes.
Whether you trade Forex, Gold, or major Indices, this indicator provides a comprehensive framework for identifying high-probability breakout opportunities.
The Core Strategy
The methodology is a powerful three-step process based on session liquidity and qualified breakouts:
The Killzone Range: The indicator first identifies the high and low established during a specific, high-volatility trading session (e.g., the first hour of London or New York). This range acts as a pool of liquidity. The core idea is that the market will often seek to "sweep" or run the liquidity resting above the session high or below the session low.
The Qualified Breakout: This is not just any breakout strategy. A valid entry signal only appears when price closes decisively outside the Killzone range with significant momentum. To ensure the quality of the signal, the breakout must meet several user-defined criteria:
The Killzone must have a minimum pip range.
The breakout candle must have a strong body-to-wick ratio.
The breakout must be accompanied by a spike in volume.
Higher Timeframe Confluence: A breakout is more likely to succeed if it aligns with the HTF narrative. This indicator plots the previous higher-timeframe candle's high and low directly onto your chart. These levels act as powerful magnets for price or as formidable support/resistance zones. A breakout on the LTF that targets the HTF previous high is a much higher-probability setup than one trading directly into it.
Key Features
📊 DST-Aware Killzones: Automatically adjusting session boxes for London and New York. The timezones are fully configurable (e.g., Europe/London, America/New_York) and automatically handle Daylight Saving Time changes so you never have to manually adjust them.
📈 Killzone Pivots: Automatically draws the High, Low, and a dotted Midpoint from each Killzone session, acting as key intraday levels.
🏛️ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels: Plots the previous HTF candle's High and Low as dashed lines on your chart, providing critical context for support, resistance, and targets.
🕯️ HTF Mini-Candles: Displays a visual summary of the last three HTF candles on the right side of your chart, so you can see the HTF trend at a glance.
⏰ Custom Vertical Timestamps: Up to three configurable vertical lines with labels to mark key events like other session opens (e.g., "Sydney Open").
🎛️ Advanced Breakout Filters: Fine-tune your signals with filters for minimum Killzone range, minimum candle body percentage, and volume spikes. (Important: The volume filter requires a data feed that provides real volume, such as OANDA, FXCM, or futures/stock data).
✅ Dynamic Entry Advice Table: After a signal, a table provides a suggested entry technique (e.g., "50% retrace to signal candle") based on how far price has moved from the breakout level.
📋 Killzone Range Stats Table: A clean table shows the current and average pip range for both the London and New York sessions, helping you gauge current volatility.
🛠️ Fully Customizable: Nearly every visual element can be toggled on/off or have its color and style changed to suit your personal chart theme.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed to provide a clear, step-by-step workflow for your trading sessions.
Setup: In the settings, choose your desired Reference Timeframe (e.g., 240 for 4-Hour). Configure your Killzone session times and colors.
Context is King: Before the session begins, take note of where price is in relation to the dashed HTF High/Low lines. Is price consolidating below the previous HTF low? A breakout might target it. Is price approaching the HTF high? This could be a take-profit area or a point of resistance.
Wait for the Range: Allow the London or New York Killzone (the colored box) to form completely.
Anticipate the Breakout: Once the session box is closed, the indicator is now hunting for a valid breakout.
Validate the Signal: When a "Long" or "Short" label appears, this is your entry signal. Check the Info-Box data (RSI, volume, candle body %) to confirm the strength of the move.
Manage the Trade: Use the Killzone pivots and the HTF High/Low lines as potential areas to manage your trade, take partial profits, or identify a final target. Check the Entry Advice table for ideas on refined entries if you miss the initial move.
Applicable Markets
This strategy is most effective on instruments known for their session-based volatility. It has been tested and works exceptionally well on:
Forex Majors: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.
Gold: XAU/USD
Indices: NASDAQ 100 (NQ100), S&P 500 (SPX500)
It is best used on lower timeframes (such as the 5-minute or 15-minute chart) for trade execution.
MFI Candles MTF TableMFI Candles + Multi-Timeframe Table | by julzALGO
This open-source script visualizes the Money Flow Index (MFI) in a new format — as candles instead of a traditional oscillator line. It provides a clean, volume-driven view of momentum and pressure, ideal for traders seeking more actionable and visual cues than a typical MFI plot.
What Makes It Unique:
• Plots "MFI Candles" — synthetic candles based on smoothed MFI values using a selected timeframe (default: 1D), giving a new way to read volume flow.
• Candles reflect momentum: green if MFI rises, red if it falls.
• Background turns red when MFI is overbought (≥ 80) or green when oversold (≤ 20).
Multi-Timeframe Strength Table:
• Displays MFI values from 15m, 1h, 4h, and 1D timeframes — all in one dashboard.
• Color-coded for quick recognition: 🔴 Overbought, 🟢 Oversold.
• Values are smoothed with linear regression for better clarity.
Custom Settings:
• MFI calculation length
• Smoothing factor
• Candle source timeframe
• Toggle table and OB/OS background
How to Use:
- Use MFI Candles to monitor momentum shifts based on money flow.
- Use the Multi-Timeframe Table to identify when multiple timeframes align — helpful for timing entries and exits.
- Watch the background for extreme conditions (OB/OS) that may signal upcoming reversals or pressure exhaustion.
Happy Trading!
MTF FVG with Hit Counter HarmoniXTradeMain Purpose of the Indicator:
This indicator is designed to automatically identify Fair Value Gaps (FVG) across three different timeframes simultaneously. The primary goal is to display these key zones on the chart and provide detailed information about price interaction with these levels, enabling traders to make more informed decisions.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe FVG Identification:
By default, the indicator identifies and displays FVGs on the Weekly (W), Daily (D), and 4-Hour (240) timeframes.
Users can customize these timeframes in the settings to fit their preferences.
Detailed Hit Counter:
This indicator goes beyond simply showing FVGs; it accurately counts the number of times the price has touched each of the three key FVG levels:
Up: The top line of the FVG
Mid: The midline (equilibrium) of the FVG
Down: The bottom line of the FVG
This information is displayed in a clear label next to each FVG zone, helping traders assess the strength and validity of each level.
Extensive Customization:
Appearance: You can change the colors for bullish and bearish FVGs for each timeframe individually, modify the style of the main and mid lines, and adjust the label size.
Detection Logic: Users can define the minimum size of an FVG for detection based on a percentage or point value.
Mitigation Logic: Two methods are provided for FVG invalidation:
Percentage Mitigation: The FVG is considered mitigated after the price has penetrated it by a specific percentage (e.g., 50%).
Full Fill: The FVG remains valid until the price has completely filled the gap and closed beyond it.
Extend Lines Capability:
To prevent chart clutter and get a better view of future price action, you can extend the FVG lines and labels to the right by a specified number of bars, creating distance from the current candle.
How to Use This Indicator:
Identifying Support and Resistance Zones: FVG areas can act as strong support and resistance levels.
Confirming Entry Points: A price touch and reaction to one of the FVG levels (especially the midline) can be used as a confirmation for entering a trade.
Assessing Level Strength: The number of hits on each level (Up, Mid, Down) indicates which price point within the zone has been more attractive to the market. For example, repeated reactions to the top line of a bearish FVG might suggest strong selling pressure at that level.
Your Feedback for Improvement:
You are invited to use this indicator and share any suggestions, ideas for improvement, or reports of potential issues. Your feedback will be valuable for implementation in future versions.
Multi-Timeframe Market Regime (Ehlers)This Pine Script indicator provides an Ehlers-inspired multi-timeframe market regime analysis directly on your TradingView chart. It aims to identify whether the market is currently "Trending Up" (green), "Trending Down" (red), or "Ranging" (yellow) across Weekly, Daily, 4-Hour, and 1-Hour timeframes.
It uses custom implementations of:
Ehlers' Fisher Transform to highlight market extremes and potential turning points.
An Adaptive Moving Average (inspired by MAMA/FAMA) that adjusts its speed based on volatility to reduce lag in trends and provide stability in ranges.
The indicator displays a dashboard as a label on your chart, showing the detected regime for each of these timeframes, and optionally colors the background of your current chart timeframe to reflect its dominant regime.
Rapid HTF Price Action Dashboard V2.0Rapid HTF Price Action Dashboard V2.0
Overview
Stop the constant switching between timeframes. The Rapid HTF Price Action Dashboard is an all-in-one analysis suite designed to give you a crystal-clear view of the market's true intent by projecting critical higher-timeframe (HTF) data directly onto your trading chart.
This tool is more than just a pattern indicator; it's a complete dashboard that provides institutional-grade insights into price action. It helps you anticipate market moves by showing you where liquidity lies and how the bigger players are positioning themselves, all from the comfort of your lower-timeframe chart.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard: A clean, intuitive panel on the right of your chart displays the last two closed higher-timeframe candles (Candle A & B) and the live, developing one (Candle C).
Projected HTF Levels: Automatically draws and projects the previous HTF candle's high and low across your chart, acting as critical dynamic support and resistance levels.
Advanced Pattern Recognition: Identifies seven high-conviction candlestick patterns based on our proprietary filtering system, designed to eliminate noise and pinpoint only the most potent signals.
The Logic: Why Our Signals Are More Accurate
This indicator goes far beyond textbook definitions. We don't just look for shapes; we look for the story behind the price action. Each pattern is filtered through a rigorous set of conditions to ensure it represents true market conviction.
Hammers & Inverted Hammers: The Liquidity Grab
Classic Hammer/IH patterns are often misleading. Ours are different. We identify them as true liquidity grab signals, a core concept used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies.
A Hammer (H) is only valid if its low wick has pierced below the low of the previous candle (low < low ). This signifies a "stop hunt" where liquidity was absorbed below a key level before buyers aggressively pushed the price up.
An Inverted Hammer (IH) is only valid if its high wick has pierced above the high of the previous candle (high > high ). This shows liquidity was taken above a prior high before sellers took control and suppressed the price.
Harami: Filtering for Conviction
A classic Harami (an inside bar) can often just be a weak doji, signaling indecision. We filter this noise out.
Our Harami signal (BeH, BuH) requires the inside candle to have a meaningful body (defaulting to 30% of its own range, but fully customizable).
Furthermore, we have enhanced the logic to ensure the body of the inside candle is strictly contained within the body of the previous candle, making it a more precise and reliable signal of consolidation before a potential expansion.
Power Engulfing: A Signal of Overwhelming Force
We don't flag just any engulfing candle. We look for true displacement and momentum.
Our Power Engulfing pattern (BE, BuE) requires the body of the current candle to completely engulf the body of the previous candle.
Crucially, it must also close decisively beyond the entire range (including the wick) of the previous candle. A Bullish Engulfing must close above the previous high, and a Bearish Engulfing must close below the previous low. This confirms overwhelming force has entered the market and a reversal is highly probable.
How to Use the Dashboard
Set Your Reference Timeframe (refTF): Choose the higher timeframe you want to analyze (e.g., "240" for 4-Hour).
Identify the Narrative: Use the projected High/Low lines as your key support and resistance zones. A primary strategy is to wait for price to interact with these levels.
Anticipate the Draw on Liquidity: Watch as price approaches the previous HTF high or low. The dashboard helps you predict the market's next move. For example, if price is trading below the previous HTF low, you can anticipate a potential sweep of that level.
Confirm with a Signal: When a signal like a Hammer (H) appears on the dashboard after sweeping the previous low, it provides high-conviction confirmation that liquidity has been taken and price is ready to reverse.
cd_secret_candlestick_patterns_CxHi traders,
With this indicator, we aim to uncover secret candlestick formations that even advanced traders may miss—especially those that can't be detected by classic pattern indicators, unless you're a true master of candlestick patterns or candle math.
________________________________________
General Idea:
We'll try to identify candlestick patterns by regrouping candles into custom-sized segments that you define.
You might ask: “Why do I need this? I can just look at different timeframes and spot the structure anyway.” But it’s not the same.
For example, if you're using a 1-minute chart and add a higher-timeframe candle overlay (like 5-minute), the candles you see start at fixed timestamps like 0, 5, 10, etc.
However, in this indicator, we redraw new candles by grouping them from the current candle backward in batches of five.
These candles won't match the standard view—only when aligned with exact time multiples (e.g., 0 and 5 minutes) will they look the same.
In classic charts:
• You see 5-minute candles that begin every 0 and 5 minutes.
In this tool:
• You see a continuously updating set of 5 merged 1-minute candles redrawn every minute.
What about the structures forming in between those fixed timeframes?
That’s exactly what we’ll be able to detect—while also making the lower timeframe chart more readable.
________________________________________
Candle Merging:
Let’s continue with an example.
Assume we choose to merge 5 candles. Then the new candle will be formed using:
open = open
close = close
high = math.max(high , high , high , high , high)
low = math.min(low , low , low , low , low)
This logic continues backward on the chart, creating merged candles in groups of 5.
Since the selected patterns are made up of 3, 4, or 5 candles, we redraw 5 such merged candles to analyze.
________________________________________
Which Patterns Are Included?
A total of 18 bullish and bearish patterns are included.
You’ll find both widely known formations and a few personal ones I use, marked as (MeReT).
You can find the pattern list and visual reference here:
________________________________________
Entry and Filtering Suggestions:
Let me say this clearly:
Entering a trade every time a pattern forms will not make you profitable in the long run.
You need a clear trade plan and should only act when you can answer questions like:
• Where did the pattern appear?
• When and under what conditions?
It’s more effective to trade in the direction of the trend and look for setups around support/resistance, supply/demand zones, key levels, or areas confirmed by other indicators.
Whether you enter immediately after the pattern or wait for a retest is a personal choice—but risk management is non-negotiable.
One of the optional filters I’ve included is a Higher Timeframe (HTF) condition, which is my personal preference:
When enabled, the highest or lowest price among the pattern candles must match the high or low of the current HTF candle.
You can see in the image below the decrease in the number of detected patterns on the 1-minute chart when using no filter (blue labels) compared to when the 1-hour timeframe filter is applied (red labels).
Additionally, I’ve added a “protected” condition for engulfing patterns to help filter out weak classic engulf patterns.
________________________________________
Settings:
From the menu, you can configure:
• Number of candles for regrouping
• Distance between the last candle and newly drawn candles
• Show/hide options
• HTF filter toggle and timeframe selection
• Color, label placement, and text customization
• Pattern list (select which to display or trigger alerts for)
My preferred setup:
While trading on the 1-minute chart, I typically set the higher timeframe to 15m or 1H, and switch the candle count between 2 and 3 depending on the situation.
⚠️ Important note:
The “Show” and “Alert” options are controlled by a single command.
Alerts are automatically created for any pattern you choose to display.
________________________________________
What’s Next?
In future updates, I plan to add:
• Pattern success rate statistics
• Multi-broker confirmation for pattern validation
Lastly, keep in mind:
The more candles a pattern is based on, the more reliable it may be.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Cheerful trading! 🕊️📈

It uses a smart combination of volatility (ATR), volume, and price action to identify key zones where the market is likely to react. Perfect for scalpers and swing traders alike, this strategy brings together adaptive zone detection, trend bias (pivot line), two-tiered signals (S1 and S2), volume filtering, built-in Fibonacci targets, and even a debug mode for transparency and performance tracking.
KEY FEATURES
1. ADAPTIVE ZONE DETECTION; This feature highlights areas where price is likely to bounce or reversebullish demand zones and bearish supply zones. Instead of using fixed levels, it adjusts based on market volatility.
HOW IT WORKS:
Uses Average True Range (ATR) to measure volatility.
TWO MODES:
Low Volatility Mode: Makes zones tighter for calm markets.
High Volatility Mode: Expands zones during choppy or fast-moving conditions.
Plots red boxes for supply zones and blue for demand zones. Zones extend until broken or naturally expire.
WHY IT MATTERS: Traditional zone indicators often fall short in fast-changing conditions. This one adjusts automatically, helping you stay one step ahead.
EXAMPLE: On a 4H BTCUSD chart, a demand zone will form at a key support level and adjust its size depending on whether the market is quiet or volatile.
2. MARKET BIAS PIVOT LINE; This dynamic line helps you quickly see whether the market is trending up or down so you can trade in the direction of strength.
HOW IT WORKS:
Based on recent swing highs and lows (default: last 4 bars).
Line is green when price is above (bullish), red when below (bearish).
Updates live and can be turned on/off in settings.
WHY IT MATTERS: It’s a built-in trend filter. Use it to avoid fighting the market.
EXAMPLE: If SPY is above a green pivot and enters a demand zone, it’s a solid bullish setup.
3. DUAL ENTRY SIGNALS (S1 and S2) The strategy gives you two signal types depending on your risk style:
S1 SIGNALS: Early entry, based on basic confirmation (like a bullish engulfing pattern).
S2 SIGNALS: Stronger entry, requiring solid candle confirmation, volume spike, and close near the zone.
HOW IT WORKS:
S1 = good for aggressive traders or small size entries.
S2 = better for high-conviction trades and bigger position sizes.
Both signals follow your selected market mood (bullish or bearish).
WHY IT MATTERS: Flexibility! Most indicators only offer one signal style. This one gives you choice.
EXAMPLE: In EURUSD, S1 might show up when price taps a demand zone and forms a small bullish candle. If volume increases and the next candle closes strong, S2 confirms the entry.
4. VOLUME CONFIRMATION This filters out weak signals by checking for real buying/selling interest.
HOW IT WORKS:
Compares current volume to previous bar and a 10–14 bar average.
Adjustable volume thresholds for S1 and S2.
Can be disabled for markets with unreliable volume (like certain forex pairs).
WHY IT MATTERS: It adds a layer of quality control. High-volume moves usually mean higher conviction.
EXAMPLE: On AAPL, an S2 will only trigger if volume jumps by 1.3x the average, signaling strong seller presence.
5. BUILT-IN FIBONACCI TARGETS (TP1, TP2, SL) No more guessing exits. The strategy draws take profit (TP) and stop loss (SL) levels automatically based on zone size.
HOW IT WORKS:
TP1 = 2.12x the zone height
TP2 = 3.3x the zone height
SL = 1x the zone height (all adjustable)
These are shown as dashed (TP) and solid (SL) lines with labels
WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces emotional decision-making. Helps you plan trades with consistent risk/reward.
Example: In GOLD, if the demand zone is $20 tall, TP1 would be ~$42.40 higher, TP2 ~$66 higher, and SL $20 lower.
6. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE INPUTS Tweak the settings to match your style and asset type.
KEY INPUTS:
Market Mood: Choose bullish (1) or bearish (2)
Timeframe Filter: Focus only on reliable zones (30M or 4H) or can disable to show on every timeframe
Zone Limit: Limit how many zones show (e.g., max 4)
Breakout Buffer: Defines how much price must move to break a zone
Zone Opacity: Make zones more/less visible
WHY IT MATTERS: This lets you dial in the indicator for scalping, swing trading, crypto, stocks, or forex.
Example: A scalper might use tighter zones and a low breakout buffer, while a swing trader prefers more zones and higher volatility mode.
7. DEBUG MODE (Optional) Get under the hood and see exactly how the strategy works.
HOW IT WORKS:
Shows metrics like ATR, volatility mode, memory usage, signal win rate, etc.
Plots visual lines showing zone age and success rate (TP1 hit tracking)
WHY IT MATTERS: Very few indicators show their math. This one does—great for power users who want to optimize.
EXAMPLE: You might discover that signals perform best in high volatility mode during news events, helping you adjust settings accordingly.
HOW TO USE IT
1. Add it to your TradingView chart (30M or 4H timeframes recommended).
2. Adjust inputs:
Market Mood = 1 (bullish) or 2 (bearish)
Pick your Volatility Mode
Set Zone Collector Limit (3–4 works well)
Use Timeframe Filter for better signals
3. Watch for S1 and S2:
S1 = quicker trades, lighter risk
S2 = stronger confirmation, bigger trades
4. Use the Pivot Line for trade direction.
5. Manage exits with auto TP/SL levels.
6. Turn on Debug Mode if you want detailed stats.
WORKS VERY WELL WITHOUT REPAINTING
Why It’s a Game-Changer; IT takes the guesswork out of zone trading. It’s not just smart—it’s adaptive. From volatility and volume to dynamic signals and exit plans, everything adjusts based on what the market is doing. And with a built-in trend filter and real-time debug info, it’s like having a trading co-pilot that’s always alert.
Why It’s Different Most zone indicators are basic. This one isn’t. Here’s why:
Adaptive zones that change with the market
Dual signal system (S1/S2) for flexibility
Volume confirmation to filter noise
Built-in Fibonacci targets for clean exits
Debug mode that shows you how it works
YOU CAN SET ALERTS WITHOUT repainting
THIS isn’t just another tool—it’s a smarter, more responsive way to trade.
Pristine Value Areas & MGIThe Pristine Value Areas indicator enables users to perform comprehensive technical analysis through the lens of the market profile in a fraction of the time! 🏆
A Market Profile is a charting technique devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), in the 1980's. He created it to gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and to analyze the auction process in financial markets. A market profile is used to analyze an auction using price, volume, and time to create a distribution-based view of trading activity. It organizes market data into a bell-curve-like structure, which reveals areas of value, balance, and imbalance.
💠 How is a Value Area Calculated?
A value area is a distribution of 68%-70% of the trading volume over a specific time interval, which represents one standard deviation above and below the point of control, which is the most highly traded level over that period.
The key reference points are as follows:
Value area low (VAL) - The lower boundary of a value area
Value area high (VAH) - The upper boundary of a value area
Point of Control (POC) - The price level at which the highest amount of a trading period's volume occurred
If we take the probability distribution of trading activity and flip it 90 degrees, the result is our Pristine Value Area!
Market Profile is our preferred method of technical analysis at Pristine Capital because it provides an objective and repeatable assessment of whether an asset is being accumulated or distributed by institutional investors. Market Profile levels work remarkably well for identifying areas of interest, because so many institutional trading algorithms have been programmed to use these levels since the 1980's!
The benefits of using Market Profile include better trade location, improved risk management, and enhanced market context. It helps traders differentiate between trending and consolidating markets, identify high-probability trade setups, and adjust their strategies based on whether the market is in balance (consolidation) or imbalance (trending). Unlike traditional indicators that rely on past price movements, Market Profile provides real-time insights into trader behavior, giving an edge to those who can interpret its nuances effectively.
Virgin Point of Control (VPOC) - A point of control from a previous time period that has not yet been revisited in subsequent periods. VPOCs are great for identifying prior supply or demand zones.
Below is a great example of price reversing lower after taking out an upside VPOC
💠 Are all POCs Created Equal?
If POCs are used to gauge supply & demand zones at key levels, then a POC with higher volume should be viewed as more significant than a POC that traded lower volume, right? We created Golden POCs as a tool to identify high volume POCs on all timeframes.
Golden POC (GPOC) - A POC that traded the highest volume compared to prior POCs (proprietary to Pristine Capital)
We calculate value areas for the following time intervals based on the user selected timeframe:
5 Minute and 15 Minute Timeframes -> Daily Value Area
The daily value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR session's trading activity. The "d" in the label references for VAHd, POCd and VALd is a visual cue that value area shown is daily.
1 Hour Timeframe -> Weekly Value Area
The weekly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR week's trading activity. The "w" in the label references for VAHw, POCw and VALw is a visual cue that value area shown is weekly.
1 Day Timeframe -> Monthly Value Area
The monthly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR month's trading activity. The "m" in the label references for VAHm, POCm and VALm is a visual cue that value area shown is monthly.
1 Week Timeframe -> Yearly Value Area
The yearly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR year's trading activity. The "y" in the label references for VAHy, POCy and VALy is a visual cue that value area shown is yearly.
💠 What is a developing value area?
The developing value area provides insight into the upcoming value area while it is still forming! It appears when 80% of the way through the current value area. As the end of a trading period approaches, it can make sense to start trading off the developing value area. When the time period flips, the developing value area becomes the active value area!
💠 Value Areas Trading Setups
Two popular market profile concepts are the bullish and bearish 80% rules. The concept is that there is an 80% probability that the market will traverse the entire relevant value area.
Bullish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period below the value area low , and subsequently closes above it, the bullish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area green. One can trade for a move to the top of the value area, using a close below the value area low as a potential stop!
In the below example, HOOD triggered the bullish 80% rule after it reclaimed the monthly value area!
HOOD proceeded to rally through the monthly value area and beyond in subsequent trading sessions. Finding the first stocks to trigger the bullish 80% rule after a market correction is key for spotting the next market leaders!
Bearish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period above the value area high , and subsequently closes below it, the bearish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area red. One can trade for a move to the bottom of the value area, using a close above the value area high as a potential stop!
ES proceeded to follow through and test the value area low before trending below the weekly value area
Value Area Breakouts - When a security is inside of value, the auction is in balance. When it breaks out from a value area, it could be entering a period of price discovery. One can trade these breaks out of value with tight risk control by setting a stop inside the value area! These breakouts can be traded on all chart timeframes depending on the timeframe of the individual trader. Combining multiple timeframes can result in even more effective trading setups.
RBLX broke out from the monthly value area on 4/22/25👇
RBLX proceeded to rally +62.78% in 39 trading sessions following the monthly VAH breakout!
💠 Market Generated Information to Improve Your Situational Awareness!
In addition to the value areas, we've also included stat tables with useful market generated information. The stats displayed vary based on the timeframe the user has up on their screen. This incentivizes traders to check the chart on multiple timeframes before taking a trade!
Metrics Grouped By Use Case
Performance
▪ YTD α - YTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a year-to-date basis.
▪ MTD α - MTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a month-to-date basis.
▪ WTD α - WTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a week-to-date basis.
▪ YTD %Δ - Year-to-date percent change in price
▪ MTD %Δ - Month-to-date percent change in price
▪ WTD %Δ - Week-to-date percent change in price
Volatility
▪ ATR % - The Average True Range (ATR) expressed as a percentage of an asset's price.
▪ Beta - Measures the price volatility of a security compared to the S&P 500 over the prior 5 years (since inception if 5 years of data is not available)
Risk Analysis
▪ LODx - Low-of-day extension - ATR % multiple from the low of day (measures how extended a stock is from its low of day)
▪ MAx - Moving average extension - ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average (measures how extended a security is from its moving average). Default moving average = 50D SMA
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average. The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.

💠 Trend Analysis
The Trend Analysis section consists of short-term and long-term stage analysis data as well as the value area timeframe and price in relation to the value area.
Stage Analysis
▪ ST ⇅ - Short-term stage analysis indicator
▪ LT ⇅ - Long-term stage analysis indicator
Short-term and long-term stage analysis data is provided in the two rightmost columns of each table. The columns are labeled ST ⇅ and LT ⇅.
Why is Stage Analysis important? Popularized by Stan Weinstein, stage analysis is a trend following system that classifies assets into four stages based on price-trend analysis.
The problem? The interpretation of stage analysis is highly subjective. Based on the methodology provided in Stan Weinstein’s books, five different traders could look at the same chart, and come to different conclusions as to which stage the security is in!
We solved for this by creating our own methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. This indicator automates that analysis, and produces short-term and long-term trend signals based on user-defined key moving averages. You won’t find this in any textbook or course, because it’s completely unique to the Pristine trading methodology.
Our indicator calculates a short-term trend signal using two moving averages; a fast moving average, and a slow moving average. We default to the 10D EMA as the fast moving average & the 20D SMA as the slow moving average. A trend signal is generated based on where price is currently trading with respect to the fast moving average and the slow moving average. We use the signal to guide shorter-term swing trades.
In general, we want to take long trades in stocks with strengthening trends, and short trades in stocks with weakening trends. The user is free to change the moving averages based on their own short-term timeframe. Every trader is unique!
The same process is applied to calculate the long-term trend signal. We default to the 50D SMA as our fast moving average, and the 200D SMA as the slow moving average for the LT ⇅ signal calculation, but users can change these to fit their own unique trading style.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 identifies stocks that transitioned from downtrends, into bottoming bases.
Stage 1A - Bottom Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of recovery after a downtrend, with early indications of strength emerging.👇
Stage 1B - Bottoming Process: Identifies the ongoing phase where the security continues to stabilize and strengthen, confirming the base-building process after the initial signal.👇
Stage 1R - Failed Uptrend: Detects when a security that had entered an early uptrend loses momentum and slips back into a bottoming phase, signaling a failed breakout.👇
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 identifies stocks that transitioned from bottoming bases to uptrends.
Stage 2A - Breakout: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks out, signaling the start of a new uptrend.👇
Stage 2B - Uptrend: Identifies when the security continues to trade in an established uptrend following the initial breakout, with momentum building but not yet showing full strength.👇
Stage 2C - Strong Uptrend: Detects when the uptrend strengthens further, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating strength and buying pressure.👇
Stage 2R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had recently entered a corrective phase reverses course and reclaims its upward trajectory, moving back into an uptrend.👇
What is Stage 3?
Stage 3 identifies stocks that transitioned from uptrends to topping bases.
Stage 3A - Top Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of weakness after an uptrend, indicating the start of a potential topping phase.👇
Stage 3B - Topping Process: Identifies the period following the initial signal when the security continues to show signs of distribution and potential trend exhaustion.👇
Stage 3R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had entered a deeper corrective phase reverses upward, recovering enough strength to re-enter the topping phase.👇
What is Stage 4?
Stage 4 identifies stocks that transitioned from topping bases to downtrends.
Stage 4A - Breakdown: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks below key support levels, signaling the start of a new downward trend.👇
Stage 4B - Downtrend: Identifies when the security continues to trend lower following the initial breakdown, with sustained bearish momentum, though not yet fully entrenched.👇
Stage 4C - Strong Downtrend: Detects when the downtrend intensifies, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating weakness and selling pressure.👇
Stage 4R - Failed Bottom: Detects when a security that had begun to show early signs of bottoming reverses course and resumes its decline, falling back into a downtrend.👇
Stage N/A - Recent IPO: Applies to stocks that recently IPO’ed and don’t have enough data to calculate all necessary moving averages.
Value Area
In Trend Analysis, the value area information is helpful to gauge price in relation to the value area.
▪ VA(y) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the yearly value area
▪ VA(m) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the monthly value area
▪ VA(w) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the weekly value area
Value area states:
▪ ABOVE = Price above the value area high
▪ BELOW = Price below the value area low
▪ INSIDE = Price inside the value area
▪ Bull 80% = Bullish 80% rule in effect
▪ Bear 80% rule = Bearish 80% rule in effect
For example, in the chart above, VA(m) - ABOVE indicates a monthly value area and price is above the VAH.
💠 What Makes This Indicator Unique
There are many value area indicators, however...
Value Area
▪ Golden POC (GPOC) - This is a proprietary concept.
▪ Unique Label Customization
Pristine value areas often comprehensive and unique label customizations. Styles include options to display any combination of the following on your labels:
• Price levels associated with market profile levels
• % distance of market profile levels from security price
• ATR% extension of market profile levels from security price
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Based on the chart timeframe, unique market generated information is shown to facilitate multi-timeframe analysis.
▪ Weekly Timeframe
On the weekly timeframe the focus is the bigger picture and the metrics reflect this perspective. Performance data includes YTD Alpha and YTD percent change in price. Volatility is measured using ATR % and the industry standard beta. Trend analysis for this higher timeframe include the 52-week range, which measures where a security is trading in relation to its 52wk high and 52wk low. Also included is the where price is in relation to yearly value area.
▪ Daily Timeframe
As one drills down to the daily timeframe, the performance metrics include MTD alpha and MTD percent change in price.
Risk analysis includes the low-of-day extension (LODx), which is the ATR % multiple from the low of the day, to measures how extended a stock is from its low of day. In addition, the moving average extension (MAx) is the ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average, measures how extended a security is from its
moving average. The default moving average is the 50D SMA, however this can be customized in Settings.
Trend Analysis on the daily timeframe includes the Pristine Capital methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. Both short-term and long-term stage analysis data is included. Finally, price in relation to monthly value area is shown.
▪ Hourly Timeframe
An the hourly timeframe, performance metrics include WTD alpha and WTD percent change in price. Trend analysis includes the daily closing range (DCR) and price in relation to weekly value area.

Pristine Fundamental AnalysisThe Pristine Fundamental Analysis indicator enables users to perform comprehensive fundamental stock analysis in a fraction of the time! 🏆
For swing/position traders, fundamental analysis is essential—it informs stock selection and strengthens conviction, enabling traders to stay in positions long enough to capture larger moves. Since every ticker represents both a business and a tradable asset, fundamental analysis perfectly complements technical analysis.
💠 Fundamental Analysis Insights - Weekly Timeframe
EPS & sales trends, margins & ratios, and valuation metrics are displayed on the weekly timeframe for in-depth analysis outside market hours.
💠 Fundamental Analysis Insights - Daily Timeframe
A slimmed down version of the fundamental analysis table is displayed on the daily timeframe to provide users quick insights into the fundamentals, while allowing them to focus on technical analysis during market hours.
💠 Fundamental Analysis Metrics to Deepen Understanding of Companies!
EARNINGS & SALES TRENDS
Why does it matter? Company stock prices tend to track the growth trajectory of earnings and sales over time. By analyzing fundamentals, users can gain an edge that pure technical traders do not have. This edge is most pronounced during big market dislocations when investors are forced to liquidate their top holdings.
▪ EPS - Measures year-over-year growth, quarter-over-quarter growth, and the surprise between actuals & analyst estimates
▪ Sales Analysis - Measures year-over-year growth, quarter-over-quarter growth, and the surprise between actuals & analyst estimates
MARGIN ANALYSIS
Why does it matter? Revenue is the lifeblood of a company. Margins measure company profits and expenditures as a percentage of revenue
▪ G% - Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue a company retained after subtracting the direct costs of producing the goods or services it sells, known as the cost of goods sold (COGS)
▪ CFO% - Measures the percentage of a company's revenue that was converted to Cash flow from operations (CFO). CFO, also known as operating cash flow (OCF), is the amount of cash a company generated from its core business activities over a specific period. It reflects the actual cash inflows and outflows resulting from the company’s main operations, such as selling products or providing services, and excludes cash flows from investing and financing activities.
▪ Net% - Net margin measures the percentage of revenue that was converted to net profit
▪ ROE% - Return on Equity measures how much net income a company produced for each dollar of equity invested by shareholders
▪ R&D% - R&D margin measures how much the company invested in research & development as a percentage of revenue
▪ D/E - The Debt to Equity ratio measures how much of a company’s financing comes from creditors (debt) versus owners (equity), providing insight into the company’s financial leverage and risk profile. The indicator tracks changes in the ratio over time
VALUATION METRICS
Why does it matter? Valuation metrics provide users an understanding of the potential risk if the fundamental trajectory of the company, or the broad market, changes! The more highly valued a company is, the more downside risk is present if conditions worsen, and vice versa.
▪ PE - The Price-to-Earnings ratio measures a company’s current share price relative to its trailing twelve-month(TTM) earnings per share (EPS). It helps investors assess how much they are paying for each dollar of a company’s earnings and is often used to gauge whether a stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued compared to its peers or historical averages.
▪ PS - The Price-to-Sales ratio measures a company’s current share price relative to its trailing twelve-month(TTM) sales per share. It helps investors assess how much they are paying for each dollar of a company’s sales and is often used to gauge whether a stock is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued compared to its peers or historical averages.
▪ BB% - Buyback yield measures the annual percentage of stock repurchased by the company. Share buybacks reduce total share count, which directly increases earnings per share!
💠 What Makes This Indicator Unique
There are many fundamental dashboards, however, what makes this indicator unique is customized metrics that were used to achieve back-to-back top finishes in the US Investing Championship. The main purpose of the indicator is to highlight companies with a history of EPS and sales acceleration , rather than focusing on the values in isolation, or even the growth of the values. Our goal is further evolution of the metrics and color signals based on continued backtesting and analysis of real-time market data.
▪ Custom Margin Metrics : Several of the margin metrics are unique and offer significant value beyond EPS and sales data alone.
For example, there are plenty of companies that have negative EPS due to non-cash expenses and/or investments they are making into their business, but that does not by itself mean that the companies are not worthy of an investment. Roblox (RBLX) is a great example. The company has consistently negative EPS, but the CFO% margin is positive! That means the core business throws off significant amounts of cash, and a large amount of it is being allocated to aggressive R&D spend, which is captured by the R&D% metric. This could propel the fundamentals of the business well into the future.
▪ Color Signals Based on Thresholds : The background colors of metrics are based on historical analysis and apply relevant thresholds to help users identify companies with strong fundamentals
▪ Comprehensive Inline Documentation : All headers cells offer detailed information about the relevant calculations/metrics as well as in-depth information on color coding and how to interpret each value. This small, yet important detail, allows users to quickly identify accelerating fundamental trends
