One Setup for Life ICTGuided by ICT tutoring, I create this versatile 'One Trading Set Up For Life' indicator
This indicator shows a different way of viewing the "Highs and Lows" of Previous Sessions, drawing from the current day until 09:30 AM, the time at which the Highs and Lows of the previous day's sessions can be taken into consideration for a Reversal or for a Take profit.
Levels tested after 9.30am will be blocked so you have a good and clear view of the levels affected
Timing Session =
London: 02:00 to 05:00
New York: 9.30am to 12.30pm
Lunch: 12.30pm to 1pm
PM Session: 1.30pm to 4pm
The user has the possibility to:
- Choose to view sessions or not
- Choose to show levels from previous sessions
- Choose to show today's session levels
- Choose between 08:30 and 09:30 the starting time for the Liquidity taken
- Choose to view High and Low only from the previous day
- See both the name of the Sessions and the price of the levels
The indicator must be used as ICT shows in its concepts, the indicator takes into consideration both previous sessions and today's sessions, and the session levels can be used both for a reversal and for a possible Take Profit like the example here under
Reversal =
Possible Take Profit =

FIRST-HOUR TOOL V.1.8.08.23Three horizontal lines are drawn on the chart to represent session prices. These prices are calculated based on the user-specified session:
"FirstHour Session High" represents the highest price reached during the firsthour session.
"FirstHour Session Open" represents the opening price of the firsthour session
"FirstHour Session Low" represents the lowest price reached during the firsthour session.
These prices are respectively colored with light blue, light yellow, and light pink.
The chart background can change color based on whether the current time is within the specified session. If the current time is within the session, the background will be colored in semi-transparent aqua green. Otherwise, it will remain transparent.
Upward-pointing triangle markers are used to highlight points where the closing price crosses above (crossover) or below (crossunder) the session levels.
These markers appear below the corresponding bar.
They are colored based on the type of crossover:
Yellow for crossover above the "FirstHour High"
Red for crossover above the "FirstHour Open"
Green for crossover above the "FirstHour Low"
Alerts:
Alert messages are generated when crossovers or crossunders of the closing price relative to the session levels occur.
The alerts appear once per bar. Alerts are generated for the following events:
Crossover of the price above the "Session High" with the message "High First Hour Crossover."
Crossunder of the price below the "Session Open" with the message "Open First Hour Crossunder."
Crossunder of the price below the "Session Low" with the message "Low First Hour Crossunder."
Crossover of the price above the "Session Low" with the message "Low First Hour Crossover."
In summary, this indicator provides a visual representation of session prices and events, helping traders spot significant crossovers and crossunders relative to key price levels.

ORBs, EMAs, AVWAPThis Pine Script (version 6) is a multi-session trading indicator that combines Opening Range Breakouts (ORBs), Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and an Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) system — all in one overlay script for TradingView.
Here’s a clear breakdown of its structure and functionality:
🕒 1. Session Logic and ORB Calculation
Purpose: Identify and plot the high and low of the first 30 minutes (default) for the Tokyo, London, and New York trading sessions.
Session Anchors (NY time):
Tokyo → 20:00
London → 03:00
New York → 09:30
(All configurable in inputs.)
ORB Duration: Default is 30 minutes (orbDurationMin), also user-configurable.
Resets:
London and NY ORBs reset at the start of each new New York trading day (17:00 NY time).
Tokyo ORB resets independently using a stored timestamp.
Process:
For each session:
While the time is within the ORB window, the script captures the session’s high and low.
Once the window closes, those levels remain plotted until reset.
Plot Colors:
Tokyo → Yellow (#fecc02)
London → Gray (#8c9a9c)
New York → Magenta (#ff00c8)
These form visible horizontal lines marking the prior session ranges — useful for breakout or retest trading setups.
📈 2. EMA System
Purpose: Provide trend and dynamic support/resistance guidance.
It calculates and plots four EMAs:
EMA Period Color Purpose
EMA 9 Short-term Green Fast signal
EMA 20 Short-term Red Confirms direction
EMA 113 Medium Aqua Trend filter
EMA 200 Long-term Orange Macro trend baseline
Each EMA is plotted directly on the price chart for visual confluence with ORB and VWAP levels.
⚖️ 3. Anchored VWAP (AVWAP)
Purpose: Display a volume-weighted average price anchored to specific timeframes or events, optionally with dynamic deviation or percentage bands.
Features:
Anchor Options:
Time-based: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century
Event-based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits
VWAP resets when the chosen anchor condition is met (e.g., new month, new earnings event, etc.).
Bands:
Up to three levels of symmetric upper/lower bands.
Choose between Standard Deviation or Percentage-based widths.
Display Toggles:
Each band’s visibility is optional.
VWAP can be hidden on 1D+ timeframes (hideonDWM option).
Color Scheme:
VWAP: Fuchsia (magenta-pink) line
Bands: Green / Olive / Teal with light-filled zones
⚙️ 4. Technical Highlights
Uses ta.vwap() with built-in band calculations.
Handles instruments with or without volume (errors if missing volume).
Uses time-zone aware timestamps (timestamp(NY_TZ, …)).
Uses timeframe.change() to detect new anchors for the VWAP.
Employs persistent variables (var) to maintain session state across bars.
💡 In Practice
This indicator is designed for multi-session intraday traders who:
Trade Tokyo, London, or NY open breakouts or retests.
Use EMA stacking and crossovers for trend confirmation.
Use Anchored VWAP as a fair-value or mean-reversion reference.
Need clear visual structure across different market sessions.
It provides strong session separation, trend context, and volume-weighted price reference — making it ideal for discretionary or semi-systematic trading strategies focused on liquidity zones and session momentum.

Silver BulletSilver Bullet is a trading tool built for finding cleaner, higher-probability setups. It focuses on key windows of market movement and adds helpful tools like daily range levels and candlestick patterns.
Whether you’re trading breakouts or reversals, Silver Bullet gives you a clearer view of the market and more confidence in your setups.
⸻
🔹 Trading Setup #1: Macro Time
The Macro Time setting offers two modes: Macro Bullet and Silver Bullet. Both help traders focus on specific times when the market tends to deliver clean moves.
• Macro Bullet is based on the high and low of a full macro session. It automatically detects the session’s range and bias, then offers optimal entries for either Long or Short setups. Once the session resolves, it provides Fibonacci-based levels for entry, target, and stop loss.
• Silver Bullet is based on ICT concepts and focuses on the hourly range for London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions. It’s designed for quick time blocks and highlights key levels as the session unfolds.
To use this setup, set Macro Time to “ICT Sessions” and select your preferred mode under Bullet Mode.
⸻
🔹 Trading Setup #2: Daily Range
Enable Daily Range to draw Fibonacci levels based on either the previous day’s candle or the current day’s developing range. These levels help you identify potential support, resistance, and midpoint zones throughout the day.
With the current day’s range, levels automatically update in real time as new highs or lows form — keeping your chart aligned with evolving price action.
⸻
🔹 Trading Setup #3: Candlestick Patterns
Turn on Candlestick Patterns to automatically highlight clean reversal signals such as Hammers, Hanging Men, Shooting Stars, and Tweezers. Each pattern is detected using specific criteria and trend filters to reduce noise and improve reliability. They work especially well as confirmation signals around key levels or session zones.
Silver Bullet brings structure, clarity, and precision to your intraday trading. By combining time-based bias, price action levels, and pattern recognition, it helps you trade with purpose — not guesswork. Use one setup or combine all three for a complete view of the market, tailored to your style and session of choice.

Multi-Timeline 1.0Multi-TimeLines 1.0 - Comprehensive Description
WHAT IT DOES:
This indicator creates dynamic horizontal support/resistance lines based on opening prices captured at user-defined New York times. Unlike static horizontal lines, these levels automatically appear and disappear based on sophisticated session logic, providing traders with time-sensitive reference levels that adapt to market sessions.
HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION:
1.
Timezone Conversion Engine:
The script uses Pine Script's "America/New_York" timezone functions to ensure all time calculations are based on NY time, regardless of the user's chart timezone. This eliminates confusion and provides consistent behavior across global markets.
2.
Dual-Category Time Classification System:
The indicator employs a unique two-category classification system:
Category A (16:00-23:59 NY): Evening times that extend overnight until next day 15:59 NY
Category B (00:00-15:59 NY): Day times that extend until same day 15:59 NY
This classification handles the complex logic of overnight sessions and prevents lines from incorrectly resetting at midnight for evening times.
3. Price Capture Mechanism:
Uses precise time-hit detection with backup systems for edge cases (especially midnight 00:00). When a specified time occurs, the script captures the bar's opening price and stores it in persistent variables using Pine Script's var declarations.
4. Session-Aware Display Logic:
Lines only appear during their designated "display windows" - periods when the captured price level is relevant. The script uses conditional plotting with plot.style_linebr to create clean breaks when lines are inactive.
5. Smart Reset System:
Different reset behaviors based on time classification:
Category A times persist across midnight (for overnight analysis)
Category B times reset on day changes (except 00:00 which captures AT day change)
Automatic cleanup when display windows close
ORIGINALITY & UNIQUE FEATURES:
1. Overnight Session Handling:
Unlike basic horizontal line tools, this script properly handles overnight spans for evening times, making it invaluable for analyzing gaps and overnight price action.
2. Automatic Session Management:
No manual line drawing required - the script automatically manages when lines appear/disappear based on NY market sessions (15:59 close, 18:00 after-hours start).
3. Time-Window Display Logic:
Lines only show during relevant periods, reducing chart clutter and focusing attention on currently active levels.
TRADING CONCEPTS & APPLICATIONS:
1. Session-Based Analysis:
Capture opening prices at key session times:
00:00 NY: Sydney/Asian session start
03:00 NY: London pre-market
08:00 NY: London session open
09:30 NY: NYSE opening bell
18:00 NY: After-hours start
2. Gap Analysis:
Evening times (20:00-23:59) that extend overnight are particularly useful for:
Identifying potential gap-fill levels
Tracking overnight high/low breaks
Setting reference points for next-day trading
3. Support/Resistance Framework:
Opening prices at significant times often act as:
Intraday support/resistance levels
Reference points for breakout/breakdown analysis
Pivot levels for mean reversion strategies
HOW TO USE:
1. Time Input:
Enter times in "HH:MM" format using 24-hour NY time:
"09:30" for NYSE open
"15:30" for late-day reference
"20:00" for evening level (extends overnight)
2. Line Behavior:
Blue/Green/Cyan/Red lines: Your custom times
Yellow line: After-hours day open (18:00 NY start)
Lines appear with breaks during inactive periods
3. Strategic Setup:
Use 2-3 key session times for your trading style
Combine morning times (immediate reference) with evening times (overnight analysis)
Toggle after-hours line based on your market focus
CALCULATION METHOD:
The script uses direct opening price capture (no smoothing or averaging) at precise time hits, ensuring the most accurate representation of actual market levels at specified times. This raw price approach maintains the integrity of actual market opening prices rather than manipulated or calculated values.
This method is particularly effective because opening prices at significant times often represent institutional order flow and can act as magnetic levels throughout subsequent sessions.
Normalized VolumeOVERVIEW
The Normalized Volume (NV) is an attempt at visualizing volume in a format that is more understandable by placing the values on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 in this case is the lowest volume candle available on the chart, and 100 being the highest. Calling a candle “high volume” can be misleading without having something to compare to. For example, in scaling the volume this way we can clearly see that a given candle had 80% of the peak volume or 20%, and gauge the validity of price moves more accurately.
FEATURES
NV by session
Allows user to filter the volume values across 4 different sessions. This can add context to the volume output, because what it high volume during London session may not be high volume relative to New York session.
Overlay plotting
When volume boxes are turned on, this will allow you to toggle how they are plotted.
Color theme
A standard color theme will color the NV based on if the respective candle closed green or red. Selecting variables will color the NV plot based on which range the value falls within.
Session inputs
Activated with the “By session?” Input. Allows user to break the day up into 4 sessions to more accurately gauge volume relative to time of day.
Show Box (X)
Toggles on chart boxes on and off.
Show historical boxes
Will plot prior occurrences of selected volume boxes, deleting them when price fully moves through them in the opposite direction of the initial candle.
Color inputs
Allows for intensive customization in how this tool appears visually.
INTERPRETATION
There are 6 pre-defined ranges that NV can fall within.
NV <= 10
Volume is insignificant
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 10 and <= 20
Volume is low
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 20 and <= 40
Volume is fair
In this range, volume should not be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 40 and <= 60
Volume is high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 60 and <= 80
Volume is very high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 80
Volume is extreme
In this range, volume is likely news driven and caution should be taken. High price volatility possible.
To utilize this tool in conjunction with your current strategy, follow the range explanations above section in this section. The higher the NV value, the stronger you can feel about your directional confirmation.
If NV = 100, this means that the highest volume candle occurred up to that point on your selected timeframe. All future data points will be weighed off of this value.
LIMITATIONS
This tool will not load on tickers that do not have volume data, such as VIX.
STRATEGY
The Normalized Volume plot can be used in exactly the same way as you would normally utilize volume in your trading strategy. All we are doing is weighing the volume relative to itself.
Volume boxes can be used as targets to be filled in a similar way to commonly used “fair value gap” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Plot to Wicks” in Overlay Plotting and toggling on Show Historical Boxes.
Volume boxes can be used as areas for entry in a similar way to commonly used “order block” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Open To Close” in Overlay Plotting.
NOTES
You are able to plot an info label on right side of NV plot using the "Toggle box label" input. When a box is toggled on this label will tell you when the most recent box of that intensity occurred.
This tool is deeply visually customizable, with the ability to adjust line width for plotted boxes, all colors on both box overlays, and all colors on NV panel. Customize it to your liking!
I have a handful of additional features that I plan on adding to this tool in future updates. If there is anything you would like to see added, any bugs you identify, or any strategies you encounter with this tool, I would love to hear from you!

RSI Supreme Multi-Method [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator, a powerful tool that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with selectable manipulation methods to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market, along with the ability to detect divergences for enhanced trading insights.
The indicator features four distinct manipulation methods for the RSI, each providing valuable insights into market conditions:
1. Standard RSI Method: The indicator uses the traditional RSI calculation to identify overbought and oversold areas.
2. Volatility Weighted RSI Method: This method applies a volatility formula to the RSI calculation, allowing for a more responsive indication of market conditions during periods of heightened volatility. Users can adjust the length of the volatility formula to fine-tune this method.
3. Smoothed RSI Method: The smoothed RSI method utilizes a smoothing algorithm to reduce noise in the RSI values, presenting a clearer representation of overbought and oversold conditions. The length of the smoothing can be adjusted to match your trading preferences.
4. Session Weighted RSI Method: With this innovative method, users can specify multipliers for different time sessions throughout the day to manipulate the base RSI. Each session can be customized with start and end times, enabling or disabling specific sessions, and specifying the multiplier for each session. This feature allows traders to adapt the RSI to different market sessions dynamically.
Additionally, the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator draws divergences on the oscillator, providing an extra layer of analysis for traders. Divergences occur when the direction of the RSI differs from the direction of the price movement, potentially signaling trend reversals.
Key Settings:
RSI Length: Adjust the length of the base RSI before applying any manipulation.
RSI Source: Determine the data source for the base RSI calculation.
Overbought Value: Set the RSI value at which overbought conditions are indicated.
Oversold Value: Set the RSI value at which oversold conditions are indicated.
RSI Type: Choose from four options: Standard, Smoothed, Volatility Manipulated, or Session Manipulated.
Volatility Manipulated Settings: Adjust the length of the volatility formula (applicable to Volatility Manipulated method).
Smoothed Settings: Adjust the length of the smoothing (applicable to Smoothed method).
Session Manipulated Settings: Customize six different time sessions with start and end times, enable or disable specific sessions, and specify multipliers for each session.
Divergence Color: Adjust the color of the drawn divergences to suit your chart's aesthetics.
Divergence Tuning: Fine-tune the sensitivity of the divergence detection for more accurate signals.
The "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator is a versatile and comprehensive tool that can be used to identify overbought and oversold areas, as well as to spot potential trend reversals through divergences. However, like all technical analysis tools, it should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis methods to make well-informed trading decisions.
Enhance your trading insights with the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator and gain an edge in identifying critical market conditions and divergences with precision.

@LeviathanCapital: Market Sessions.
-----
How to use?
More suitable for Scalping
1. Plan A: Break out the highest bar
Find the bar with the largest range (high – low) and high volume of the previous N bars.
When the price close breaks down to highest bar, give a SELL signal.
When the price close breaks up the highest, give a BUY signal.
2. Plan B: Break out the bar opened market
The price close breaks through the open bar, give a Buy and Sell signal.
Market sessions: Tokyo, London, Sydney, New York.
-----
How to set up?
Choose the plan.
Lookback bar to find highest bar.
Right bar: What position of signal will appear from the open market bar (or high bar).
Number break: The maximum bars have price close breaked before giving signal.
Session time: The open and close of market.

Open Interest Profile (OI)- By LeviathanThis script implements the concept of Open Interest Profile, which can help you analyze the activity of traders and identify the price levels where they are opening/closing their positions. This data can serve as a confluence for finding the areas of support and resistance , targets and placing stop losses. OI profiles can be viewed in the ranges of days, weeks, months, Tokyo sessions, London sessions and New York sessions.
A short introduction to Open Interest
Open Interest is a metric that measures the total amount of open derivatives contracts in a specific market at a given time. A valid contract is formed by both a buyer who opens a long position and a seller who opens a short position. This means that OI represents the total value of all open longs and all open shorts, divided by two. For example, if Open Interest is showing a value of $1B, it means that there is $1B worth of long and $1B worth of short contracts currently open/unsettled in a given market.
OI increasing = new long and short contracts are entering the market
OI decreasing = long and short contracts are exiting the market
OI unchanged = the net amount of positions remains the same (no new entries/exits or just a transfer of contracts occurring)
About this indicator
*This script is basically a modified version of my previous "Market Sessions and Volume Profile by @LeviathanCapital" indicator but this time, profiles are generated from Tradingview Open Interest data instead of volume (+ some other changes).
The usual representation of OI shows Open Interest value and its change based on time (for a particular day, time frame or each given candle). This indicator takes the data and plots it in a way where you can see the OI activity (change in OI) based on price levels. To put it simply, instead of observing WHEN (time) positions are entering/exiting the market, you can now see WHERE (price) positions are entering/exiting the market. This is the same concept as when it comes to Volume and Volume profile and therefore, similar strategies and ways of understanding the given data can be applied here. You can even combine the two to gain an edge (eg. high OI increase + Volume Profile showing dominant market selling = possible aggressive shorts taking place)
Green nodes = OI increase
Red nodes = OI decrease
A cluster of large green nodes can be used for support and resistance levels (*trapped traders theory) or targets (lots of liquidations and stop losses above/below), OI Profile gaps can present an objective for the price to fill them (liquidity gaps, imbalances, inefficiencies, etc), and more.
Indicator settings
1. Session/Lookback - Choose the range from where the OI Profile will be generated
2. OI Profile Mode - Mode 1 (shows only OI increase), Mode 2 (shows both OI increase and decrease), Mode 3 (shows OI decrease on left side and OI increase on the right side).
3. Show OI Value Area - Shows the area where most OI activity took place (useful as a range or S/R level )
4. Show Session Box - Shows the box around chosen sessions/lookback
5. Show Profile - Show/hide OI Profile
6. Show Current Session - Show/hide the ongoing session
7. Show Session Labels - Show/hide the text labels for each session
8. Resolution - The higher the value, the more refined a profile is, but fewer profiles are shown on the chart
9. OI Value Area % - Choose the percentage of VA (same as in Volume Profile's VA)
10. Smooth OI Data - Useful for assets that have very large spikes in OI over large bars, helps create better profiles
11. OI Increase - Pick the color of OI increase nodes in the profile
12. OI Decrease - Pick the color of OI decrease nodes in the profile
13. Value Area Box - Pick the color of the Value Area Box
14. Session Box Thickness - Pick the thickness of the lines surrounding the chosen sessions
Advice
The indicator calculates the profile based on candles - the more candles you can show, the better profile will be formed. This means that it's best to view most sessions on timeframes like 15min or lower. The only exception is the Monthly profile, where timeframes above 15min should be used. Just take a few minutes and switch between timeframes and sessions and you will figure out the optimal settings.
This is the first version of Open Interest Profile script so please understand that it will be improved in future updates.
Thank you for your support.

GEX Walls + Market Open Shading### Overview
This Pine Script (version 6) creates a TradingView indicator called **"GEX Walls + Market Open Shading"**. It overlays directly on the price chart and is designed for intraday trading, particularly for indices like SPX or ES futures. The script combines two main features:
- **GEX Walls**: Visual boxes and labels highlighting "Gamma Exposure" (GEX) levels—key support (Put Wall) and resistance (Call Wall) zones based on options gamma. It includes approach alerts.
- **Market Open Shading**: A semi-transparent background shade during a customizable post-market-open session (e.g., first 2 hours after 9:30 AM EST).
It uses up to 20 boxes and 20 labels, with right-scale positioning for better visibility on the price axis. The script detects new trading days to reset visuals dynamically.
### Key Inputs
The script is highly customizable via inputs grouped into sections:
#### GEX Walls Inputs
- **Call Wall** (default: 6900.0): Upper resistance level.
- **Put Wall** (default: 6850.0): Lower support level.
- **Buffer** (default: 3.0 points): Vertical padding around each wall for box thickness.
- **Alert Distance** (default: 10.0 points): Threshold for triggering "approach" alerts.
- **Colors**: Semi-transparent yellow for Call Wall boxes (#ffeb3b at 80% opacity), orange for Put Wall (#ff9800 at 80%).
- **Toggles**: Show/hide boxes; enable/disable alerts; restrict alerts to shaded session only.
- **Labels**: Text color (white), offset (bars to the right, default -2), size (tiny/small/normal/large).
#### Market Open Shading Inputs
- **Shade Color** (default: white at 90% transparency): Background fill during session.
- **Transparency** (0-100, default: 90): Opacity level.
- **Open Time** (default: 9:30 EST): Hour/minute for session start.
- **Duration**: Dropdown with pre-formatted options (e.g., "120 min: 11:30a EST / 8:30a PST" up to 195 min), showing both EST and PST end times for convenience.
- **Toggle**: Show/hide shading.
### How It Works
#### 1. Market Open Shading
- Calculates end time from open hour/minute + selected duration (e.g., 120 minutes from 9:30 AM EST = 11:30 AM EST).
- Builds a session string (e.g., "0930-1130") for TradingView's `time()` function.
- Detects if the current bar is within the session using `not na(time("", sessionString))`.
- Applies `bgcolor()` with the user-defined color/transparency only during the session.
- Helper functions format times in 12-hour AM/PM style (e.g., "11:30a") for labels, with EST/PST variants.
#### 2. Day Detection
- Uses `time("D")` to track daily changes (`ta.change(dayTime) != 0` signals a new day).
- Maintains variables for the current day's start bar index (`todayStartIndex`) and previous day's start (`prevStartIndex`).
- This ensures boxes span exactly from yesterday's open to today (intraday reset on new days).
#### 3. GEX Walls Visualization
- **Boxes**: Drawn once `prevStartIndex` is known (i.e., on the second day onward).
- Left edge: Previous day's start bar.
- Right edge: Current bar (extends live).
- Height: Wall level ± buffer (e.g., Call Wall box from 6900-3 to 6900+3).
- Updated dynamically with `box.set_*` functions; hidden (100% transparent) if toggled off.
- **Labels**: Placed at exact wall levels, offset to the right (e.g., 2 bars ahead for readability).
- Text: "CALL WALL: 6900.0" or "PUT WALL: 6850.0".
- Style: Right-aligned, black background (transparent), user-defined text color/size.
- Deleted if toggled off.
- All visuals use `xloc.bar_index` for bar-based positioning.
#### 4. Alerts
- **Call Wall Approach**: Triggers when close enters within `alertDistance` below the wall, but prior bar was further away (rising toward resistance). Message: "Price approaching Call Wall at from below (within points)".
- **Put Wall Approach**: Symmetric for falling toward support (within distance above wall).
- Filtered optionally to shaded session only.
- Uses `alertcondition()` with hidden plots (`display=display.none`) for dynamic message placeholders (e.g., `{{plot_0}}` inserts wall level).
### Notable Features & Behaviors
- **Intraday Focus**: Boxes/labels reset daily, making it ideal for day trading without historical clutter.
- **Time Zone Handling**: Defaults to EST for market open but shows PST equivalents in dropdowns (subtracts 3 hours).
- **Efficiency**: Uses `var` declarations for persistent objects (boxes/labels) to avoid recreation on every bar.
- **Edge Cases**: Handles label offsets (clamped -10 to 50 bars); session wrapping (e.g., overnight via %24); new chart loads (initializes on first bar).
- **Customization Depth**: 20+ inputs allow fine-tuning without code edits. Alerts integrate seamlessly with TradingView's system.
- **Limitations**: Relies on bar_index for historical spanning (best on lower timeframes like 1-5 min); no historical backfill for walls (live-only).
This script is a practical tool for options-aware traders monitoring gamma squeezes or pinning levels during market open volatility. To use it, paste into TradingView's Pine Editor, adjust inputs for your asset (e.g., update walls for current GEX data), and add to chart.
