VORN
by Vince Vorn
One overlay that structures the entire New York trading day: color-coded sessions, key levels anchored to the exact candle that made them, the opening range — and liquidity sweeps tagged with the volume behind them. Everything locked to NY time, whatever timezone your chart is in.
The whole 24h cycle, painted
Futures never sleep, but the day has a structure — and VORN paints all of it as soft background zones with session names pinned to the bottom of the chart. Every session's time window and color is an input.
Levels anchored to the candle that made them
Most level indicators draw floating lines. VORN starts every line at the exact candle where the level was born — you see where yesterday's high was made, not just where it sits.
Previous day
High, low and close of the prior RTH day (9:30–16:00 NY) by default — not the exchange's Globex candle that starts the evening before. Full-session basis available as an input.
Overnight range
The 18:00 → 9:30 NY extremes, frozen at the open. The most hunted liquidity of the morning session.
Opening range & opens
Opening range — default 30 minutes, adjustable, labeled OR HIGH / OR LOW on the dashed lines — plus the weekly open and the 9:30 open itself.
Levels table
Every active level with its price, color-coded, in any corner of the chart — with an optional legend column spelling out the abbreviations for anyone still learning them.
Price-scale tags
Each level also prints on the right-hand price scale in its own color, so orientation survives even where the lines end.
Clean by design
Lines have a fixed, adjustable length instead of running to infinity — structure without the spiderweb. Levels freeze on session close and never repaint.
Sweeps, with the volume to back them up
A sweep is a wick through a key level that gets rejected on the close — stops run, liquidity taken, price back inside. VORN tags them the moment they complete, and tells you how much volume was behind the grab.
Tagged with everything you need
Every sweep prints the level name, the exact price, and the relative volume — “SWEEP PDH 7,794.00 | 2.7x vol”. Two levels swept on one candle merge into a single clean tag.
Hot tags on real volume
A sweep on ≥1.5× average volume turns the tag red — the market showed its hand with size. Threshold adjustable.
VOL DRY confirmation
After a high-volume sweep, if the next bars go quiet, a VOL DRY marker prints — spike into the level, no follow-through. The classic exhaustion context for a reversal watch.
High-volume badge
A live badge appears mid-right only while the current bar's volume is elevated — amber when high, red when extreme, gone when the tape is quiet.
What it looks like live
Soft session columns, origin-anchored level lines, the dashed opening range, sweep tags where liquidity got taken — and the table holding the day's numbers in the corner. VWAP, MA50 and MA200 included with individual toggles.
Sensible defaults, every knob exposed
Tuned for ES and NQ on intraday timeframes. Every session window, color, threshold and toggle is an input — including a one-click White theme that repaints the background and candles for a clean light look.
