Indicators (TradingView)
- Futures Key Levels
Every intraday reference a futures day trader would otherwise draw by hand, plotted automatically the moment the chart loads: previous-day and previous-week high, low and close from the electronic and regular sessions, the developing RTH and overnight range, the opening range and initial balance with 1.5x and 2.0x extensions, floor pivots, session VWAP with optional bands, the 14-day ADR projection, and settlement. Right-edge labels are packed by priority so the grid stays readable on a five-minute chart.

Maps where liquidity pools and where it gets taken. The script tracks unswept pivot highs and lows, then scores each zone from 0 to 100 on how often it has been touched, how fresh the last touch is, whether it lines up with prior-day, prior-week, VWAP or opening-range anchors, and how violently price has reacted there, scaled by the current market regime and the time of day. It marks sweeps as they happen and carries a HUD of the key reference levels plus a trend, mean-revert or mixed read with a confidence percent.

A bar-by-bar order-flow read that fires a signal only when six independent measurements agree: relative volume, the delta z-score, cumulative-delta direction, close-in-range, VWAP side and slope, and proximity to prior-day levels. Absorption and exhaustion prints run alongside. Its defining feature is a plain-English HUD that names, every bar, exactly which gate is still blocking a long or short, which makes it as much a teaching tool as a live signal. Built for futures, where total volume is honest, and it does not repaint.
