Donchian Trend Ribbon (Gradient)Donchian Trend Ribbon (Gradient) Indicator
The Donchian Trend Ribbon (Gradient) uses Donchian Channels to visualize trend direction, strength, and market phases. Columns with varying colors and intensity help traders quickly assess trends.
Key Components:
Green Columns (Bullish):
Appear when price is above the upper Donchian Channel boundary.
Bright green in the top zone (25-50): Strong bullish trend.
Darker green in the lower zone (0-25): Weak/moderate bullish trend.
A full-height bright green column indicates a very strong upward move.
Red Columns (Bearish):
Appear when price is below the lower Donchian Channel boundary.
Bright red in the top zone (25-50): Strong bearish trend.
Darker red in the lower zone (0-25): Weak/moderate bearish trend.
A full-height bright red column indicates a very strong downward move.
Black Columns (Neutral):
Indicate no trend or market consolidation.
Signal to wait for trend emergence.
Expanding Steps:
Steps expanding downward from the upper edge (50) suggest diminishing momentum.
Steps expanding upward from the lower edge (0) indicate growing trend strength.
Methods of Use:
Identify Trends: Green (buy) or red (sell) columns in the top zone (25-50) signal strong trends.
Assess Strength: Bright colors = strong trends, darker colors = weaker trends. Full-height bright columns indicate very strong moves.
Neutral Phases: Black columns suggest waiting for a trend.
Example Strategy:
Buy when green columns appear in the 25-50 range with bright intensity.
Sell when red columns appear in the 25-50 range with bright intensity.
Exit positions if columns turn black or darker-colored.
Pivot points and levels
Auto-Support v 0.3The "Auto-Support v 0.3" indicator is designed to automatically detect and plot multiple levels of support and resistance on a chart. It aims to help traders identify key price levels where the market tends to reverse or consolidate. Here’s a breakdown of its functionality and goals:
Objective:
The primary objective of the Auto-Support v 0.3 indicator is to provide traders with a clear, visual representation of support and resistance levels. These levels are determined based on a predefined sensitivity parameter, which adjusts how tightly or loosely the indicator reacts to recent price movements. The indicator can be applied to any chart to assist in identifying potential entry and exit points for trades, enhancing technical analysis by displaying these important price zones.
Description:
Support and Resistance Calculation:
The indicator calculates multiple levels of support and resistance using the highest and lowest prices over a defined period. The "sensitivity" parameter, which ranges from 1 to 10, determines how sensitive the calculation is to recent price changes. A higher value increases the number of bars used to calculate these levels, making the levels more stable but less responsive to short-term price movements.
Visual Representation:
The support levels are drawn in green with a customizable transparency setting, while resistance levels are displayed in red with similar transparency controls. This visual representation helps traders identify these levels on the chart and see the strength or weakness of the support/resistance zones depending on the transparency setting.
Multiple Levels:
The indicator plots 10 distinct levels of support and resistance (from 1 to 10), which can offer a more granular view of price action. Traders can use these levels to assess potential breakout or breakdown points.
Customization:
Sensitivity: The sensitivity input allows traders to adjust how aggressively the indicator reacts to recent price data. This ensures flexibility, enabling the indicator to be tailored to different trading styles and market conditions.
Transparency: The transparency input adjusts the visual opacity of the support and resistance lines, making it easier to overlay the indicator without obscuring other chart elements.
Key Goals:
Dynamic Support/Resistance Identification: Automatically detect and display relevant support and resistance levels based on price history, removing the need for manual chart analysis.
Customizable Sensitivity: Offer a flexible method to adjust how the indicator identifies key levels, allowing it to fit different market conditions.
Clear Visualization: Provide easy-to-read support and resistance levels with customizable colors and transparencies, enhancing visual clarity and decision-making.
Multiple Levels: Display up to 10 levels of support and resistance, allowing traders to consider both short-term and longer-term price action when making trading decisions.
By using this indicator, traders can more effectively identify key price zones where price may reverse, consolidate, or break out, providing a solid foundation for developing trading strategies.
Logarithmic Regression AlternativeLogarithmic regression is typically used to model situations where growth or decay accelerates rapidly at first and then slows over time. Bitcoin is a good example.
𝑦 = 𝑎 + 𝑏 * ln(𝑥)
With this logarithmic regression (log reg) formula 𝑦 (price) is calculated with constants 𝑎 and 𝑏, where 𝑥 is the bar_index .
Instead of using the sum of log x/y values, together with the dot product of log x/y and the sum of the square of log x-values, to calculate a and b, I wanted to see if it was possible to calculate a and b differently.
In this script, the log reg is calculated with several different assumed a & b values, after which the log reg level is compared to each Swing. The log reg, where all swings on average are closest to the level, produces the final 𝑎 & 𝑏 values used to display the levels.
🔶 USAGE
The script shows the calculated logarithmic regression value from historical swings, provided there are enough swings, the price pattern fits the log reg model, and previous swings are close to the calculated Top/Bottom levels.
When the price approaches one of the calculated Top or Bottom levels, these levels could act as potential cycle Top or Bottom.
Since the logarithmic regression depends on swing values, each new value will change the calculation. A well-fitted model could not fit anymore in the future.
Swings are based on Weekly bars. A Top Swing, for example, with Swing setting 30, is the highest value in 60 weeks. Thirty bars at the left and right of the Swing will be lower than the Top Swing. This means that a confirmation is triggered 30 weeks after the Swing. The period will be automatically multiplied by 7 on the daily chart, where 30 becomes 210 bars.
Please note that the goal of this script is not to show swings rapidly; it is meant to show the potential next cycle's Top/Bottom levels.
🔹 Multiple Levels
The script includes the option to display 3 Top/Bottom levels, which uses different values for the swing calculations.
Top: 'high', 'maximum open/close' or 'close'
Bottom: 'low', 'minimum open/close' or 'close'
These levels can be adjusted up/down with a percentage.
Lastly, an "Average" is included for each set, which will only be visible when "AVG" is enabled, together with both Top and Bottom levels.
🔹 Notes
Users have to check the validity of swings; the above example only uses 1 Top Swing for its calculations, making the Top level unreliable.
Here, 1 of the Bottom Swings is pretty far from the bottom level, changing the swing settings can give a more reliable bottom level where all swings are close to that level.
Note the display was set at "Logarithmic", it can just as well be shown as "Regular"
In the example below, the price evolution does not fit the logarithmic regression model, where growth should accelerate rapidly at first and then slows over time.
Please note that this script can only be used on a daily timeframe or higher; using it at a lower timeframe will show a warning. Also, it doesn't work with bar-replay.
🔶 DETAILS
The code gathers data from historical swings. At the last bar, all swings are calculated with different a and b values. The a and b values which results in the smallest difference between all swings and Top/Bottom levels become the final a and b values.
The ranges of a and b are between -20.000 to +20.000, which means a and b will have the values -20.000, -19.999, -19.998, -19.997, -19.996, ... -> +20.000.
As you can imagine, the number of calculations is enormous. Therefore, the calculation is split into parts, first very roughly and then very fine.
The first calculations are done between -20 and +20 (-20, -19, -18, ...), resulting in, for example, 4.
The next set of calculations is performed only around the previous result, in this case between 3 (4-1) and 5 (4+1), resulting in, for example, 3.9. The next set goes even more in detail, for example, between 3.8 (3.9-0.1) and 4.0 (3.9 + 0.1), and so on.
1) -20 -> +20 , then loop with step 1 (result (example): 4 )
2) 4 - 1 -> 4 +1 , then loop with step 0.1 (result (example): 3.9 )
3) 3.9 - 0.1 -> 3.9 +0.1 , then loop with step 0.01 (result (example): 3.93 )
4) 3.93 - 0.01 -> 3.93 +0.01, then loop with step 0.001 (result (example): 3.928)
This ensures complicated calculations with less effort.
These calculations are done at the last bar, where the levels are displayed, which means you can see different results when a new swing is found.
Also, note that this indicator has been developed for a daily (or higher) timeframe chart.

Understanding the Indicator’s Logic
1. Higher Timeframe Trend Analysis:
• The indicator retrieves the closing prices of a higher timeframe using the request.security() function.
• It compares the current higher timeframe close with the previous one to determine the trend direction.
2. Key Level Calculation:
• Previous Day High/Low: Calculated by tracking the highest and lowest prices of the previous trading day.
• Pre-Market High/Low: Calculated by monitoring price action during the pre-market session.
3. First 5-Minute Marker Logic:
• At 9:35 AM (end of the first 5 minutes after market open), the indicator evaluates whether the first 5-minute high is above or below the PMH.
• It then places the appropriate label (F5H or F5L) on the chart.
4. Swing Points Detection:
• The script uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points.
• It then determines the type of swing point based on comparisons with previous swings.
5. Ranging Market Detection:
• The indicator looks back over a specified number of bars to find the highest high and lowest low.
• It calculates the percentage difference between these two points.
• If the difference is below the set threshold, the market is considered to be ranging, and a box is drawn around the price action.
Limitations and Considerations
• Indicator Limitations:
• Maximum Boxes and Labels: Due to Pine Script limitations, there is a maximum number of boxes and labels that can be displayed simultaneously.
• Performance Impact: Adding multiple visual elements (boxes, labels, markers) can affect the performance of the script on lower-end devices or with large amounts of data.
• Market Conditions:
• False Signals: Like any technical tool, the indicator may produce false signals, especially during volatile or erratic market conditions.
• Not a Standalone Solution: This indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, including risk management and other forms of analysis.
Conclusion
The “Top-Down Trend and Key Levels with Swing Points” indicator is a versatile tool that integrates essential aspects of technical analysis into one script. By providing insights into higher timeframe trends, highlighting key price levels, detecting swing points, and identifying ranging markets, it equips traders with valuable information to make more informed trading decisions.

Fibonacci Snap Tool [TradersPro]
OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Snap tool automatically snaps to the swing high and swing low of the price data shown on the chart display. Fibonacci retracement levels can be used for entry, exit, or as a confirmation of trend continuation.
If the swing high on the chart comes before the swing low, the price is in a downtrend.If the swing high comes after the swing low, the price is in an uptrend.
We call the 23.60% Fibonacci level the momentum zone of the trend. Price in a solid trend, either up or down, will typically hold the 23.60% Fibonacci level as support (demand) in an uptrend or resistance (supply) in a downtrend.
Deeper Fibonacci levels of 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% are corrective supply/demand zones. As price moves against the found trend, it can move into this range block we call the corrective zone.
Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential supply/demand areas where price could reverse or consolidate. These levels are based on key ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, and we only use the core 23.60%, 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% ratios.
CONCEPTS
Price action moves in trend cycles, these retracement levels help traders measure proportional relationships between the high/low swings in the price trend.
When a price trend is moving against the trend, traders can find opportunities to trade with the current trend at key Fibonacci levels. Fibonacci levels can be used to anticipate where price might find supply/demand imbalance and continue moving in the trend direction.
Traders apply the indicator by selecting a window of price they want to analyze in the chart display, and the Fibonacci Snap tool will snap to the high and low of the visible price display.
The Intent and Use of This Tool
The 23.60% level acts as a momentum or continuation of trend. The 38.20% to 61.80% range are corrective zones of the trend.
The 61.80% level, also known as the golden ratio (Google the term “Golden Ratio”; it's fun), can often represent the location of supply/demand imbalance.
In an uptrend, it can represent the area of no more selling supply, and the balance can shift to buying demand. In a downtrend, it can represent the area of no more buying demand and the balance can shift to selling supply.
When used with the Momentum Zones indicator, these two tools create a powerful combination for traders to find, implement, and manage trades.
Ultra Market StructureThe Ultra Market Structure indicator detects key market structure breaks, such as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), to help identify trend reversals. It plots lines and labels on the chart to visualize these breakpoints with alerts for important signals.
Introduction
This script is designed to help traders visualize important market structure events, such as trend breaks and reversals, using concepts like Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH). The indicator highlights internal and external price levels where the market shifts direction. It offers clear visual signals and alerts to keep traders informed of potential changes in the market trend.
Detailed Description
The indicator focuses on detecting "market structure breaks," which occur when the price moves past significant support or resistance levels, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation of the trend.
.........
Type of structure
Internal Structure: Focuses on smaller, shorter-term price levels within the current market trend.
External Structure: Focuses on larger, longer-term price levels that may indicate more significant shifts in the market.
.....
Key events
Break of Structure (BoS): A market structure break where the price surpasses a previous high (bullish BoS) or low (bearish BoS).
Change of Character (CHoCH): A shift in market behavior when the price fails to continue in the same direction, indicating a possible trend reversal.
Once a break or shift is detected, the script plots lines and labels on the chart to visually mark the breakpoints.
It also provides alerts when a BoS or CHoCH occurs, keeping traders informed in real-time.
The indicator can color the background and candles based on the market structure, making it easy to identify the current trend.
.....
Special feature
At news events or other momentum pushes most structure indicators will go into "sleep mode" because of too far away structure highs/lows. This indicator has a structure reset feature to solve this issue.
.........

Detrended Price Oscillator [NexusSignals]Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) is a detrended price oscillator, used in technical analysis, strips out price trends in an effort to estimate the length of price cycles from peak to peak or trough to trough.
DPO is not a momentum indicator, instead highlights peaks and troughs in price, which are used to estimate buy and sell points in line with the historical cycle. (cf. to investopedia)
DPO indicator made by NexusSignals components :
a filled area that allow users to see easy the trend of an asset;
a sma moving average on chart (default length is 20)
a 20 sma on oscillator, both ma's are color coded to show uptrend / downtrend
a donchian channel applied to the dpo to show breakouts, breakdowns and resistances/support, reversals
few alerts for price crossing above ma, cross above the 0 dpo line, and for cross above and below the donchian channels top and bottom
How you can use DPO indicator ?
The detrended price oscillator (DPO) can be used for measuring the distance between peaks and troughs in the indicator that may help traders to make future decisions as they can locate the most recent trough and determine when the next one may occur in the meassured distance on oscillator between peaks and troughs.
You can use the indicator to find the potential price reversals, for example when the price of an asset is in a bearish trend and the dpo is bouncing from the donchian channel bottom, that may be a potential swing low for that asset, same thing in a bullish trend when the dpo rejecting at top of donchian channel may be a trend reversal, a pullback or swing high.
When DPO is above the 0 trend is in an uptrend and when dpo is below the zero the asset is possible to move into a downtrend.
Also crosses of DPO above and below the DPO moving average may signalising a trend change.

Four Supertrend By Baljit AujlaThis Pine Script is an implementation of a "Four Supertrend" indicator by Baljit Aujla. It calculates and plots four Supertrend indicators based on the Average True Range (ATR) method, allowing for different ATR periods and multipliers for each line.
Here is an explanation of the key components:
Inputs
1:- ATR Periods: Four different periods for ATR, adjustable by the user (defaults: 10, 11, 12, 13).
2:- ATR Multipliers: Four different multipliers for the ATR, adjustable by the user (defaults: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0).
3:- Source: The data source used for calculation, default is the average of high and low prices (hl2).
4:- Change ATR Calculation Method: Option to switch between the traditional ATR and a simple moving average of true range (SMA of TR).
5:- Signal Display- Options to show buy/sell signals and highlight trends.
Logic:
The script computes four separate Supertrend lines using the ATR method for each line. For each of the four lines, it calculates an uptrend and downtrend threshold, and the trend direction changes when the close price crosses these thresholds.
For each trend line:
1. Uptrend and Downtrend Calculation: The script uses ATR-based bands above and below the price. The uptrend line is calculated by subtracting the ATR multiplied by a given multiplier from the source price, and the downtrend line is calculated by adding the ATR multiplied by a multiplier to the source price.
2. Trend Reversal Logic: The trend switches based on the price action relative to the uptrend and downtrend lines. If the price moves above the downtrend, it signals a switch to an uptrend, and vice versa for a downtrend.
3. Signal Generation: Buy signals occur when the trend changes from negative to positive (down to up), and sell signals occur when the trend changes from positive to negative (up to down).
Plots:
The script plots:
Uptrend and Downtrend Lines: These are visualized as green and red lines for each trend.
Buy/Sell Signals: Small circles are drawn on the chart when a trend change occurs (buy and sell signals).
Trend Highlighting: Background highlighting is applied to show when the market is in an uptrend (green) or downtrend (red).
Alerts:
The script has commented-out alert conditions (alertcondition), which can be enabled to send notifications when a buy or sell signal occurs, or when a trend change happens.
Enhancements:
1. Background Highlighting: This is an option to visually emphasize uptrends and downtrends by filling the background with respective colors.
2. Signal Visibility: You can toggle whether to show the buy/sell signals on the chart.
3. ATR Calculation Method: Option to change the ATR calculation method (using SMA of TR vs the default ATR).
The script is useful for identifying multi-timeframe trends with adjustable parameters and provides both signals and visual markers on the chart to aid in trading decisions.
Issues and Improvements:
The code seems to be truncated, specifically for the last Supertrend line (Line 4). To fully complete the functionality for the fourth line, the logic for up4, down4 and tread4 needs to be finished, similar to the other three lines.

Non-Psychological Levels🟩 Non-Psychological Levels is a structural analysis tool that segments price action into objective ranges, identifying Broken and Unbroken levels without relying on psychological or time-based assumptions. By emphasizing mechanically derived price behavior, it provides traders with a clear framework for analyzing support and resistance in a consistent and unbiased manner across various market conditions.
This indicator introduces a new approach to understanding market structure by focusing on price movement within defined segments, free from behavioral patterns, round numbers, or specific time intervals. While the indicator is time-agnostic in design, it works within the natural time progression of the chart, ensuring that segmentation aligns with the inherent structure of price movement. Broken levels, where price has breached a structural boundary, and Unbroken levels, which remain intact, are visualized with horizontal lines. These structural zones are complemented by dynamically boxed segments that contextualize both historical and ongoing price behavior.
By offering an objective perspective, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator complements psychology-based tools, helping traders explore market dynamics from multiple angles. When structural levels align with psychological zones, they reinforce critical price areas; when they differ, they provide opportunities to analyze price behavior from an alternative lens. This indicator is designed as both an educational framework and a practical tool, encouraging a deeper understanding of structural price behavior in technical analysis.
⭕ THEORY AND CONCEPT ⭕
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is grounded in the principle of analyzing price behavior without reliance on psychological assumptions or time-based factors. Its primary purpose is to provide a structural framework for identifying support and resistance levels by focusing solely on price movement within mechanically defined segments. By removing external influences such as sentiment, time intervals, or market sessions, the indicator offers an unbiased lens through which traders can observe price dynamics.
Non-psychology, as defined here, refers to an approach that excludes behavioral and emotional patterns—like fear, greed, or herd mentality—from price analysis. Traditional tools often depend on these patterns to identify zones such as pivots or Fibonacci retracements, but these methods can be inconsistent in volatile markets. In contrast, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator focuses entirely on what price is doing, free from assumptions about trader behavior or external time constraints.
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanically driven design segments price action into consistent ranges, highlighting "Broken" levels (where price breaches structural boundaries) and "Unbroken" levels (where price holds). These structural zones remain unaffected by subjective or external influences, ensuring clarity and consistency across different markets and timeframes. By doing so, the indicator reveals a pure view of price structure, independent of psychological biases.
Importantly, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not intended to replace psychology-based tools but to complement them. When its structural levels align with psychological zones like round numbers or session highs/lows, the significance of these areas is reinforced. Conversely, when the levels differ, the contrast provides traders with alternative insights into market dynamics. This dual perspective—blending mechanical objectivity with behavioral analysis—enhances the depth and flexibility of market evaluation.
The following principles outline the theoretical foundation of the indicator and its unique contribution to structural price analysis:
Time-Agnostic Design : The indicator avoids reliance on time-based factors like daily opens, session intervals, or specific events. Instead, it segments price action using bar indexes, ensuring that structural levels are identified independently of external time variables. While the x-axis of a chart inherently represents time, this indicator abstracts away its influence, allowing traders to focus purely on price movement without the bias of temporal context.
Mechanical and Neutral Framework : Every calculation within the indicator is predetermined by a set of mechanical rules, ensuring no subjective input or interpretation affects the results. This objectivity guarantees that levels are derived solely from observed price behavior, providing a reliable framework that traders can trust to remain consistent across different assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Broken levels represent zones where price has breached a structural boundary, while Unbroken levels highlight areas where price has consistently respected its range. This distinction provides a clear and systematic method for identifying key support and resistance levels, offering insights into where future price interactions are most likely to occur.
Neutral Price Behavior : By dividing price action into equal segments, the indicator removes the influence of external factors like trader sentiment or psychological expectations. Each segment independently determines significant levels based purely on price action, enabling a structural view of the market that abstracts away behavioral or emotional biases.
Complement to Psychological Tools : While the indicator itself avoids behavioral assumptions, its levels can align with psychological zones like round numbers, pivots, or Fibonacci levels. When these structural and psychological levels overlap, it reinforces the importance of key areas, while divergences offer opportunities to examine price behavior from a new perspective.
Educational Value : The indicator encourages traders to explore the contrast between structural and psychological analysis. By introducing a framework that isolates price behavior from external influences, it challenges traditional methods of technical analysis, fostering deeper insights into market structure and behavior.
🔍 UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL LEVELS 🔍
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers a straightforward yet powerful way to understand market structure by segmenting price action into mechanically defined ranges. This segmentation highlights two key elements: "Broken" levels, where price has breached structural boundaries, and "Unbroken" levels, which remain intact and respected by price action. Together, these components create a framework for identifying potential areas of support and resistance.
Broken Levels : These are structural boundaries that price has surpassed, indicating areas where previous support or resistance failed. Broken levels often signal transitions in price behavior, such as shifts in momentum or the start of trending movements. They provide insight into zones where price has already tested and moved beyond.
Unbroken Levels : These levels remain intact within a given price segment, marking areas where price has consistently respected boundaries. Unbroken levels are particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or zones of continued support or resistance. Their persistence across price action often makes them reliable indicators of market structure.
The visual segmentation of price action into distinct ranges allows traders to observe how price transitions between structural zones. For example:
- Clusters of Unbroken levels near the current price may suggest strong support or resistance, offering areas of interest for reversals or breakouts.
- Gaps between Unbroken levels highlight areas of price inefficiency or low interaction, which may become significant if revisited.
By focusing solely on structural price behavior, the Non-Psychological Levels indicator enables traders to analyze price independently of time or psychological factors. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding price dynamics objectively, whether used on its own or alongside other indicators.
🛠️ SETTINGS 🛠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator offers various customizable settings to help users tailor its visualization to their specific trading style and market conditions. These settings allow adjustments to sensitivity, level projection, and the source of price calculations (e.g., wicks or closing prices). Below, we outline each setting and its impact on the chart, along with examples to illustrate their functionality.
Custom Settings
Sensitivity : This setting adjusts the balance between detailed and broader structural levels by controlling the number of segments. Higher values result in more segments, revealing finer price levels, while lower values consolidate segments to highlight major price movements.
Source : Allows the user to choose between 'Wick' or 'Close' for detecting levels. Selecting 'Wick' emphasizes the absolute highs and lows of price action, while 'Close' focuses on closing prices within each segment.
Level Labels : Configures the visual representation of price levels, allowing users to toggle between price values, symbols (▲ ▼), or disabling labels altogether. This setting ensures clarity in how Broken and Unbroken levels are displayed on the chart.
Unbroken Levels : - - - Users can customize the colors and label styles for Unbroken levels, which highlight areas where price has respected structural boundaries.
Broken Levels : -|- Similar to Unbroken levels, users can specify the visual appearance of Broken levels, including color customization for Broken highs and lows. These settings help distinguish areas where price has breached a structural boundary.
Projection Options : This setting allows users to control how broken and unbroken levels are visually extended on the chart. The Future option projects lines forward to the right of the current price, showing potential future relevance of levels. The All option extends lines both forward and backward, providing a comprehensive view of how levels align with historical and potential future price action. The None option disables projections, keeping the chart focused solely on current segment levels without any extensions.
Segments : Includes options for customizing the segment visualization:
- Live Segment : Toggles the display of a highlighted box representing the current developing segment, helping users focus on ongoing price action.
- Boxes : Allows users to display filled boxes around each segment for additional visual emphasis.
- Segment Colors : Users can define separate colors for support (lower) and resistance (upper) segments, making it easier to interpret directional trends.
- Boundaries : Enables or disables vertical lines to mark segment boundaries, providing a clearer view of structural divisions.
Repaint : This setting allows users to enable or disable triangle labels within the live segment. When enabled, the triangles dynamically update to reflect real-time price behavior during the live bar but will repaint until the bar is fully confirmed. Disabling this option prevents the triangles from appearing during the live bar, reducing potential confusion as they may otherwise flash on and off during price updates. This setting ensures users can choose their preferred visualization while maintaining clarity in real-time analysis.
Color Settings : Offers extensive customization for all visual elements, including Broken and Unbroken levels, segment boundaries, and live segments. These settings ensure the indicator can adapt to individual preferences for chart readability.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations and features of the Non-Psychological Levels indicator. These examples highlight how the indicator’s settings influence the visualization of structural price behavior, helping traders understand its functionality in various scenarios.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : Orange prices are Broken HIghs. Blue prices are Broken Lows. Green and Red are Unbroken.
Boundaries : Enable Boundaries to visualize segments.
High Sensitivity Setting : A high sensitivity setting produces fewer segments and levels, emphasizing broader price ranges and major structural zones. This configuration is better suited for higher timeframes or identifying overarching trends.
Low Sensitivity Setting : A low sensitivity setting results in a greater number of segments and levels, offering a granular view of price structure. This configuration is ideal for analyzing detailed price movements on lower timeframes.
Live Segment with Triangles Enabled : This example shows the live segment box with triangle labels enabled. These triangles update dynamically during the live bar but may repaint until the bar is confirmed, helping traders observe real-time price behavior.
Broken and Unbroken Levels : This example highlights Broken levels (where price has breached structural boundaries and are drawn through subsequent price action) and Unbroken levels (where price has respected structural boundaries). These distinctions visually identify areas of potential support and resistance.

This visualization highlights historical and potential future support and resistance zones, helping traders better understand how price interacts with these structural levels over time.
Segment Boxes with Boundaries : Filled boxes around individual segments visually distinguish each price interval, offering clarity in observing structural price transitions.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator provides a unique framework for analyzing structural price behavior through the identification of Broken and Unbroken levels. These levels act as a mechanical representation of support and resistance, independent of psychological biases or time-based factors. By focusing purely on price movement within defined segments, the indicator offers a neutral and consistent approach to understanding market dynamics.
This method complements traditional tools by providing an unbiased perspective. When structural levels align with psychological zones—such as round numbers or session-based highs and lows—they reinforce the significance of these areas as key price zones. When they diverge, the indicator introduces an alternative view, prompting further exploration of price behavior. This dual perspective enhances the depth of analysis by combining the mechanical and behavioral aspects of price action.
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is not designed to generate trading signals or predict future price movements but serves as a visual and educational tool. Its adaptability across all markets and timeframes allows traders to integrate it into their broader strategies. By highlighting structural price dynamics, the indicator offers a fresh perspective on market analysis while remaining compatible with other technical tools.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. It can be applied to any chart or timeframe, making it a flexible tool for structural price analysis. Users should adjust the Sensitivity setting to ensure the segmentation aligns with the price behavior of the specific asset being analyzed. For instance, higher sensitivity values are more suitable for assets with large price ranges, while lower values work well for assets with tighter ranges.
Visual Range Dependency :
The indicator is optimized to perform calculations only within the visible range of the chart. This is a significant advantage, as it prevents unnecessary calculations and maintains efficient performance. However, because of this dependency, levels may appear to "recalculate" when the chart is zoomed in or out quickly or shifted abruptly. While this does not affect the integrity of the levels, it may cause a temporary lag as the indicator adjusts to the new visual range.
Persistence of Levels Beyond Visibility :
Even if levels are not visible on the chart due to zoom or scroll settings, they still exist in the background and are recalculated when revisited. This ensures that the structural price analysis remains consistent, regardless of the chart view.
Box Limitations in Pine Script :
The indicator is subject to Pine Script's inherent limitation of 500 boxes. This means that no more than 500 segments or level boxes can be drawn on the chart simultaneously. For most configurations, this limitation is mitigated by focusing on the visual range, but users employing very low sensitivity settings may exceed the limit. In such cases, only the most recent 500 boxes will be displayed, potentially omitting earlier segments.
Lag with Low Sensitivity Settings :
When sensitivity is set to a low value, the indicator creates many more segments, resulting in finer granularity and a higher number of boxes. While this provides detailed structural levels, it may increase the likelihood of exceeding Pine Script’s 500-box limit or cause a temporary lag when rendering a dense set of boxes over a wide visual range. Users should adjust sensitivity to balance detail with performance, especially on assets with high volatility or broad price ranges.
Live Segment Caution :
The live segment box updates in real time to reflect price movements as the segment is still developing. Since the segment high and segment low are not yet finalized, users should interpret this feature as a dynamic visualization of current price behavior rather than a definitive structural analysis. This ensures clarity during ongoing price action while maintaining the integrity of the indicator's framework.
Cross-Market Versatility :
The indicator’s time-agnostic and mechanical design ensures that it functions identically across all markets and timeframes. However, users should consider the unique characteristics of different markets when interpreting the results, as certain assets (e.g., highly volatile cryptocurrencies) may require sensitivity adjustments for optimal segmentation.
Visual Range Dependency: Levels recalculate efficiently within the chart's visible range but may lag temporarily when zooming or scrolling quickly.
These considerations ensure that the Non-Psychological Levels indicator remains robust and versatile while highlighting some inherent limitations of Pine Script and real-time recalculations. Users can mitigate these constraints by carefully adjusting sensitivity and understanding how the visual range dependency affects performance.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Non-Psychological Levels indicator is a visual analysis tool and is not designed as a predictive or trading signal indicator. Its primary purpose is to highlight structural price levels, providing an objective framework for understanding support and resistance within mechanically segmented price action.
The indicator operates within the visible range of the chart to ensure efficiency and adaptiveness, but this recalculation should not be interpreted as a forecast of future price behavior. While the structural levels may align with significant price zones in hindsight, they are purely a reflection of observed price dynamics and should not be used as standalone trading signals.
This indicator is intended as an educational and visual aid to complement other analysis methods. Users are encouraged to integrate it into a broader trading strategy and make adjustments to the settings based on their individual needs and market conditions.

Note: This screener does NOT plot the chart and so you want to have both plotting and screener, use both scripts together.
Overview:
The ORB Screener is a TradingView indicator designed to assist traders in identifying breakout opportunities based on the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy. It features multi-symbol screening, customizable session timeframes, and a detailed table for quick visual reference and stock scanning.
The ORB Screener utilizes the ORB strategy to calculate breakout levels for multiple symbols. It identifies the high and low during a specified session (e.g., first 5 minutes after market open) and provides insights on whether the price is above the high (bullish), below the low (bearish), or between the range (neutral).
Additionally, the script calculates and displays the RSI values for each symbol, aiding traders in assessing momentum alongside breakout status.
Note: One can add up to 40 symbols for screening the stocks.
Key Features and Inputs:
ORB Session Time: Define a specific timeframe (e.g., "0915-0920") during which the ORB high and low are calculated. This serves as the foundation for identifying breakouts.
Multi-Symbol Screening: Screen up to 40 symbols at once, enabling you to monitor multiple opportunities without switching charts.
Breakout Validation:
Select from two methods for confirming a breakout: Close (based on closing prices) or Touch (based on intraday highs/lows).
Breakout Status Indicators:
Above High: Indicates a current bullish breakout when the price exceeds the ORB high.
Below Low: Indicates a current bearish breakout when the price falls below the ORB low.
Between Range: Indicates no breakout (price remains within the range).
RSI Integration : Calculates the RSI for each symbol to help traders evaluate momentum alongside breakout signals.
Customizable Table Display:
Position: Place the data table at the top, middle, or bottom of the chart and align it left, center, or right.
Size: Choose from multiple table size options for optimal visibility (Auto, Huge, Large, Normal, Small, Tiny).
Visual Feedback:
Green Background: Indicates a breakout happened at least once above the ORB high.
Red Background: Indicates a breakout happened at least once below the ORB low.
Gray Background: Indicates price is within the ORB range.

Key Prices & LevelsThis indicator is designed to visualize key price levels & areas for NY trading sessions based on the price action from previous day, pre-market activity and key areas from NY session itself. The purpose is to unify all key levels into a single indicator, while allowing a user to control which levels they want to visualize and how.
The indicator identifies the following:
Asia Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
London Range High/Lows, along with ability to visualize with a box
Previous Day PM Session High/Lows
Current Day Lunch Session High/Lows, starts appearing after 12pm EST once the lunch session starts
New York Open (8:30am EST) price
9:53 Open (root candle) price
New York Midnight (12:00am EST) price
Previous Day High/Lows
First 1m FVG after NY Session Start (after 9:30am), with the ability to configure minimum FVG size.
Opening Range Gap, showing regular market hours close price (previous day 16:15pm EST close), new session open price (9:30am EST open) and optionally the mid-point between the two
Asia Range 50% along with 2, 2.5, 4 and 4.5 deviations of the Asia range in both directions
Configurability:
Each price level can be turned off
Styles in terms of line type, color
Ability to turn on/off labels for price levels and highlighting of prices on price scale
Ability to control label text for price levels
How is it different:
Identifies novel concepts such as 9:53 open, root candle that can be used as a bounce/resistance area during AM/PM sessions as well as confirmation of direction once closed over/under to indicate price's willingness to continue moving in the same direction.
It also shows 1st 1m FVG after New York Session open, that can be used to determine direction of the price action depending on PA's reaction to that area. While both 9:53 and 1m FVG are 1m based markers, these levels are visualized by the indicator on all timeframes from 15s to 1h.
Additionally the indicator is able to both highlight key prices in the price scale pane as well as combine labels to minimize clutter when multiple levels have the same price.
Lastly for in-session ranges such as Lunch High/Low the indicator updates the range in real-time as opposed to waiting for the lunch session to be over.
Central Bank Liquidity YOY % Change - Second DerivativeThis indicator measures the acceleration or deceleration in the yearly growth rate of central bank liquidity.
By calculating the year-over-year percentage change of the YoY growth rate, it highlights shifts in the pace of liquidity changes, providing insights into market momentum or potential reversals influenced by central bank actions.
This can help reveal impulses in liquidity by identifying changes in the growth rate's acceleration or deceleration. When central bank liquidity experiences a rapid increase or decrease, the second derivative captures these shifts as sharp upward or downward movements.
These impulses often signal pivotal liquidity shifts, which may correspond to major policy changes, market interventions, or financial stability measures, offering an early signal of potential market impacts.
