Stock Scalping Community

This is a **Heads-Up Display**, not an auto-entry bot. It keeps regime + risk context on the chart so you stop guessing under stress.

Hybrid scalper, as I mean it: discretionary trigger + mechanical filters (VWAP side, opening range, ATR stop distance, session clock). The script doesn't click for you. It nags you with structure. I like nagging. Nagging has saved me more money than clever entries.

### What the HUD shows

- Session VWAP side (`ABOVE` / `BELOW` / `NEAR`)
- Opening range high/low (first N minutes)
- ATR-based stop distance suggestion (shares still discretionary)
- Volatility proxy via range expansion
- "TRADE WINDOW" vs "NO NEW ENTRIES" clock flags

atrStopMult = input.float(1.0, "ATR stop multiple", step=0.1)
nearVwapAtr = input.float(0.15, "NEAR VWAP if within ATR×", step=0.05)
noNewEntriesMin = input.int(5, "No new entries first N minutes", minval=0)
lunchStart = input.int(1200, "Lunch start HHMM ET-ish exchange", tooltip="Uses exchange timezone")
lunchEnd = input.int(1300, "Lunch end HHMM")
showOrBox = input.bool(true, "Show OR box")
showTable = input.bool(true, "Show HUD table")

sesOK = not na(time(timeframe.period, "0930-1600"))

### Suggested inputs for stock scalpers

| Input | Starter | Notes |
|-------|---------|-------|
| OR minutes | 15 | Some use 5 — don't mix stats |
| ATR mult | 1.0 | Cap risk $ separately |
| No new entries | 5 | Aligns with first-15 doctrine |
| Lunch block | 12:00–13:00 ET | Optional |

### Non-goals

Does **not** place orders. `BREAK↑/↓` is a hint, not a signal service. Validate timezone on the symbol you trade.

Pin it. Fork it. Post forks with a changelog — not equity curves.

What OR length do you actually run — 5 or 15 — and do you keep stats separate?
Anyone add a spread warning input that didn't turn into lag soup?
Lunch block on or off for your style?
Forked this already? What did you change first?
