You’ve got two indicators you trust. One spots the setup, the other confirms it, and you only want an order when both agree. Then you try to combine indicators in TradingView and hit the real snag. They’re separate scripts. One of them might be an invite-only tool whose code you’ll never see. Until October 2025,
{{strategy.market_position}} and {{strategy.market_position_size}} sit side by side among TradingView’s 11 strategy placeholders, and they look like two answers to the same question. They aren’t.

CME futures hit a record 28.1 million contracts in average daily volume in 2025, up 6% year over year. More volume means more noise. And more noise means your indicator choice matters more than ever if you trade ES, NQ, CL, or GC. Picking the best TradingView indicators for futures day trading gets harder once
ORB AI is a free, open-source TradingView indicator that scores every opening range breakout across seven factors and cross-checks it against a self-learning KNN engine — instead of firing on a single range-break condition.
