Smart Risk - Three Institutional Models📘 Smart Risk – Three Institutional Entry Models
A precision-engineered institutional framework that blends liquidity, structure, and multi-time-frame confirmation.
🧠 Concept Overview
The Smart Risk indicator models how institutional traders and algorithms engineer entries around liquidity, imbalance, and structural shifts .
It unifies t hree distinct institutional entry models —each built around core Smart Money Concepts (SMC)—and enhances them with a Multi-Time-Frame Confluence (MTF) engine for directional alignment.
This tool doesn’t simply merge indicators.
It connects l iquidity sweeps, order-block reactions, breaker validation, and fair-value-gap mitigation into one cohesive trading logic—filtering every setup through trend, structure, and volume confirmation.
⚙️ How It Works
Setup #1 – Liquidity Sweep + Order Block Revisit + FVG Mitigation
Identifies engineered stop-hunts where price sweeps external liquidity and returns to a prior Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Signals reversal-style entries with high probability of mean-reversion or mitigation.
Setup #2 – Supply/Demand + Mitigation / Breaker / FVG Continuation
Captures continuation trades inside trending structure.
When trend bias (via moving-average context) aligns with breaker or mitigation blocks, signals confirm institutional continuation sequences.
Setup #3 – Sweep + Classic FVG Reaction
Tracks clean displacement gaps following a liquidity sweep—ideal for scalpers and intraday reversals where imbalances act as magnets for price.
Each setup can be independently enabled or disabled from the panel.
A built-in signal-cooldown prevents repetitive triggers on the same leg.
🕒 Multi-Time-Frame Confluence
The new MTF module aligns lower-time-frame precision entries with higher-time-frame market structure.
When enabled, each setup only validates if the HTF trend confirms the same directional bias as the LTF pattern—e.g. a 5-minute bullish FVG signal requires a bullish 1-hour structure.
This ensures institutional logic respects global liquidity flow and avoids counter-trend traps.
MTF Controls:
• ✅ Enable MTF Confluence toggle
• ⏱️ Lower Time-Frame (LTF) selector (default 5 min)
• ⏱️ Higher Time-Frame (HTF) selector (default 1 hour)
• 🔄 Automatic SMA-based HTF trend detection
🎨 Visualization & Dashboard

Fairvaluegap
SMC FVG/IFVG (Multi-TF x 4) [ZAUTEC]SMC FVG/IFVG (Multi-TF x 4): Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap with Inversed FVG Detection
This powerful Pine Script indicator is designed to help traders identify, track, and manage Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their respective Inversed Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) across up to four different timeframes simultaneously.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (4x): Analyze and display FVGs from four distinct timeframes alongside your current chart, offering a comprehensive view of market imbalances across various scales.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: Automatically identifies classic three-candle FVGs (market inefficiencies).
Customizable FVG Length: Set how many bars the FVG boxes should initially extend for.
Minimum Gap Size: Filter out minor, insignificant gaps using a tick-based minimum size threshold.
Optional Box Extension: Dynamically extend FVG boxes to the current bar index or use a fixed extension for a cleaner chart.
Inversed FVG (IFVG) Logic: Detects a high-probability reversal pattern where a previously filled FVG zone is immediately followed by the formation of a new, opposite FVG within or adjacent to the same area. This confirms the old FVG has "flipped roles" (e.g., from support to resistance).
Lookback Period: Defines how long the indicator searches for a corresponding FVG breach to confirm the IFVG.
IFVG Minimum Size: Customizable minimum size threshold for the IFVG.
Dynamic Box Management:
Automatic Fill Deletion: FVGs are automatically removed from the chart when price action fully trades through the gap, signifying the imbalance has been "filled."
IFVG Tracking: IFVGs are tracked and removed from the chart after the configurable lookback period.
Full Customization: Control the visibility, colors, border styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and width for FVG, Bearish FVG, Bullish FVG, and IFVG boxes independently for each of the four timeframes.
How to Use
Select Timeframes: Choose up to four desired timeframes in the settings (e.g., "15" for 15-minute, "4H" for 4-hour, "D" for Daily). Leave the field empty to use the chart's current timeframe.
Toggle Visibility: Use the Show FVG and Show IFVG toggles to focus on the imbalances you wish to see.
Adjust Extension: Set Extend Boxes to bar index to true to keep all open FVG boxes drawn all the way to the current live price bar.
Interpret the Gaps:
FVG (Bullish/Bearish): Potential areas for price to return to and find support/resistance.
IFVG (Inverse FVG): Stronger signals that a previous zone of imbalance has been violated and is likely to act as a significant flip zone for future price movements.
This indicator is an essential tool for traders utilizing concepts like ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and SMC (Smart Money Concepts), providing a clear visual representation of market structure and liquidity voids.
Smart Money Concepts Pro – OB, FVG, Liquidity + Trade SetupsThis script is a complete Smart Money Concepts (SMC) toolkit designed for traders who want clean and actionable charts without clutter.
It combines the most important institutional concepts into one indicator:
Order Blocks (OB): auto-detection of bullish and bearish order blocks with mitigation tracking, merging and TTL (time-to-live).
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): automatic gap recognition with size filters, mitigation tracking and lifetime control.
Liquidity Pools (EQH/EQL): equal highs and equal lows marked with tolerance (ATR-based or fixed).
Break of Structure (BOS): up/down structure shifts plotted directly on the chart.
Multi-Timeframe (HTF): option to use higher timeframe data (e.g. H4, Daily) for stronger zones.
Trend Filter: show zones only in the direction of market structure.
Trade Setups: automatic signals for OB Retest + Trend setups, with entry, stop-loss and take-profit levels (custom R-R).
Flexible Zone Extension: choose between extending zones to the live bar or fixed box width for a cleaner look when scrolling.
Features
Fully customizable (pivot length, ATR filters, box width, TTL, zone colors)
Separate presets for Scalping, Intraday, Swing trading styles
Visual trade planning with entry/SL/TP lines and optional labels
Works across all markets (crypto, forex, indices, stocks)
How to use
Bias: identify overall direction (BOS + HTF zones).
Wait: for price to return to an unmitigated OB or FVG.
Entry: take the setup signal (OB retest + trend filter).
Risk: stop-loss at opposite OB boundary.
Target: TP based on chosen R-R multiple (default 2R).
⚡ Whether you scalp short-term moves or swing trade HTF zones, this indicator gives you a clear institutional edge in spotting supply/demand imbalances and high-probability setups.

Momentum-Based Fair Value Gaps [BackQuant]Momentum-Based Fair Value Gaps
A precision tool that detects Fair Value Gaps and color-codes each zone by momentum, so you can quickly tell which imbalances matter, which are likely to fill, and which may power continuation.
What is a Fair Value Gap
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price imbalance that forms when the middle candle expands fast enough that it leaves a void between candle 1 and candle 3.
Bullish FVG : low > high . This marks a bullish imbalance left beneath price.
Bearish FVG : high < low . This marks a bearish imbalance left above price.
These zones often act as magnets for mean reversion or as fuel for trend continuation when price respects the gap boundary and runs.
Why add momentum
Not all gaps are equal. This script measures momentum with RSI on your chosen source and paints each FVG with a momentum heatmap. Strong-momentum gaps are more likely to hold or propel continuation. Weak-momentum gaps are more likely to fill.
Core Features
Auto FVG Detection with size filters in percent of price.
Momentum Heatmap per gap using RSI with smoothing. Multiple palettes: Gradient, Discrete, Simple, and scientific schemes like Viridis, Plasma, Inferno, Magma, Cividis, Turbo, Jet, plus Red-Green and Blue-White-Red.
Bull and Bear Modes with independent toggles.
Extend Until Filled : keep drawing live to the right until price fully fills the gap.
Auto Remove Filled for a clean chart.
Optional Labels showing the smoothed RSI value stored at the gap’s birth.
RSI-based Filters : only accept bullish gaps when RSI is oversold and bearish gaps when RSI is overbought.
Performance Controls : cap how many FVGs to keep on chart.
Alerts : new bullish or bearish FVG, filled FVG, and extreme RSI FVGs.
How it works
Source for Momentum : choose Returns, Close, or Volume.
Returns computes percent change over a short lookback to focus on impulse quality.
RSI and Smoothing : RSI length and a small SMA smooth the signal to stabilize the color coding.
Gap Scan : each bar checks for a 3-candle bullish or bearish imbalance that also clears your minimum size filter in percent of price.
Heatmap Color : the gap is painted at creation with a color from your palette based on the smoothed RSI value, preserving the momentum signature that formed it.
Lifecycle : if Extend Unfilled is on, the zone projects forward until price fully trades through the far edge. If Auto Remove is on, a filled gap is deleted immediately.
How to use it
Scan for structure : turn on both bullish and bearish FVGs. Start with a moderate Min FVG Size percent to reduce noise. You will see stacked clusters in trends and scattered singletons in chop.
Read the colors : brighter or stronger palette values imply stronger momentum at gap formation. Weakly colored gaps are lower conviction.
Decide bias : bullish FVGs below price suggest demand footprints. Bearish FVGs above price suggest supply footprints. Use the heatmap and RSI value to rank importance.
Choose your playbook :
Mean reversion : target partial or full fills of opposing FVGs that were created on weak momentum or that sit against higher timeframe context.
Trend continuation : look for price to respect the near edge of a strong-momentum FVG, then break away in the direction of the original impulse.
Manage risk : in continuation ideas, invalidation often sits beyond the opposite edge of the active FVG. In reversion ideas, invalidation sits beyond the gap that should attract price.
Two trade playbooks
Continuation - Buy the hold of a bullish FVG
Context uptrend.
A bullish FVG prints with strong RSI color.
Price revisits the top of the gap, holds, and rotates up. Enter on hold or first higher low inside or just above the gap.
Invalidation: below the gap bottom. Targets: prior swing, measured move, or next LV area.
Reversion - Fade a weak bearish FVG toward fill
Context range or fading trend.
A bearish FVG prints with weak RSI color near a completed move.
Price fails to accelerate lower and rotates back into the gap.
Enter toward mid-gap with confirmation.
Invalidation: above gap top. Target: opposite edge for a full fill, or the gap midline for partials.
Key settings
Max FVG Display : memory cap to keep charts fast. Try 30 to 60 on intraday.
Min FVG Size % : sets a quality floor. Start near 0.20 to 0.50 on liquid markets.
RSI Length and Smooth : 14 and 3 are balanced. Increase length for higher timeframe stability.
RSI Source :
Returns : most sensitive to true momentum bursts
Close : traditional.
Volume : uses raw volume impulses to judge footprint strength.
Filter by RSI Extremes : tighten rules so only the most stretched gaps print as signals.
Heatmap Style and Palette : pick a palette with good contrast for your background. Gradient for continuous feel, Discrete for quick zoning, Simple for binary, Palette for scientific schemes.
Extend Unfilled - Auto Remove : choose live projection and cleanup behavior to match your workflow.
Reading the chart
Bullish zones sit beneath price. Respect and hold of the upper boundary suggests demand. Strong green or warm palette tones indicate impulse quality.
Bearish zones sit above price. Respect and hold of the lower boundary suggests supply. Strong red or cool palette tones indicate impulse quality.
Stacking : multiple same-direction gaps stacked in a trend create ladders. Ladders often act as stepping stones for continuation.
Overlapping : opposing gaps overlapping in a small region usually mark a battle zone. Expect chop until one side is absorbed.
Workflow tips
Map higher timeframe trend first. Use lower timeframe FVGs for entries aligned with the higher timeframe bias.
Increase Min FVG Size percent and RSI length for noisy symbols.
Use labels when learning to correlate the RSI numbers with your palette colors.
Combine with VWAP or moving averages for confluence at FVG edges.
If you see repeated fills and refills of the same zone, treat that area as fair value and avoid chasing.
Alerts included
New Bullish FVG
New Bearish FVG
Bullish FVG Filled
Bearish FVG Filled
Extreme Oversold FVG - bullish
Extreme Overbought FVG - bearish
Practical defaults
RSI Length 14, Smooth 3, Source Returns.
Min FVG Size 0.25 percent on liquid majors.
Heatmap Style Gradient, Palette Viridis or Turbo for contrast.
Extend Unfilled on, Auto Remove on for a clean live map.
Notes
This tool does not predict the future. It maps imbalances and momentum so you can frame trades with clearer context, cleaner invalidation, and better ranking of which gaps matter. Use it with risk control and in combination with your broader process.
FVG - Sweep [TradeWithRon]FVG – Sweep - A multi-layer liquidity and imbalance detection system designed to help traders identify high-probability zones where price is likely to react.
🔍 Overview
This indicator combines Sweep Detection , Fair Value Gap (FVG) logic, and Change in State of Delivery (CISD) confirmation into a single streamlined tool. It helps traders visually connect liquidity grabs, displacement imbalances, and continuation or reversal opportunities — all in one chart.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Sweep Detection (Liquidity Grabs)
Detects when price takes liquidity above a previous high or below a previous low, then rejects it.
Alerts trigger when a bullish or bearish sweep is confirmed.
2. CISD Confirmation (Change in State of Delivery)
Identifies structural shifts using candle body direction and previous swing breaks.
Confirms when price transitions from expansion to contraction or vice versa.
CISD alerts notify when new shifts occur on any selected timeframe.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
Automatically highlights the first valid FVG following a confirmed sweep optional or CISD.
Optional alert for IFVG confirmation.
🧩 Why It’s Powerful
Multiple conditions across separate tools — sweeps, imbalances, and structure shifts.
This indicator integrates all three into one system that can:
Detect liquidity grabs,
Confirm displacement through FVGs,
Validate momentum or reversals with CISD logic.
🧩 Ideal Use Case
Combine this tool with your existing strategy to:
Build liquidity + imbalance confluence zones
Spot reversal setups after sweeps
Track continuations after structural shifts
Automate alerts for precision entries
FVG Buy/Sell [Multi-TF] by akshaykiriti1443The FVG Buy/Sell indicator is a precision trading tool designed for traders who operate with a clear directional bias. It excels at identifying high-probability entry points by detecting when price interacts with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
This indicator is built on a core principle: instead of predicting the market's direction, it provides the timing for an entry after you, the trader, have established your market bias. By automatically pinpointing bullish and bearish imbalances on both the current and a higher timeframe, it allows you to wait for the market to pull back to a key level and then provides a clear signal for execution.
The Core Strategy: Bias First, Entry Second
This indicator is most powerful when used as part of a two-step trading process. It is not a standalone signal generator; it is an entry confirmation tool.
Step 1: Determine Your Directional Bias
Before looking for any signals from this indicator, you must first have an opinion on the market's most likely direction. This bias should be derived from your primary analysis method, such as:
The Golden Rule:
If your bias is BULLISH, you will ONLY look for BUY signals generated by bullish (green/blue) FVGs. You will ignore all SELL signals.
If your bias is BEARISH, you will ONLY look for SELL signals generated by bearish (pink/orange) FVGs. You will ignore all BUY signals.
Step 2: Execute with the FVG Tap-In Signal
Once your bias is set, the indicator does the rest of the work. You simply wait for the price to pull back into an FVG zone that aligns with your bias and then wait for the confirmation arrow to appear.
A green up arrow confirms that price has tapped a bullish FVG and closed above it, signaling that support has held and it's a valid moment to enter a long position.
A red down arrow confirms that price has tapped a bearish FVG and closed below it, signaling that resistance has held and it's a valid moment to enter a short position.
How to Take a Trade (Step-by-Step Examples)
Example of a Bullish (Long) Trade Setup:
Establish Bias: Your primary analysis shows the market is in a clear uptrend. Your bias is Bullish. You are now only looking for buying opportunities.
Identify Zone: The indicator draws a bullish FVG (a green or blue box) during an impulsive up-move.
Wait for Pullback: Be patient and let the price retrace down into this FVG zone. Do not chase the price.
Confirmation Signal: A green UP arrow appears below a candle. This is your signal. It confirms that buyers have stepped in at the FVG level and defended it.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position at the open of the candle immediately following the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss below the low of the signal candle or, for a safer stop, below the bottom of the FVG zone itself.
Take Profit: Target a previous high, a higher-timeframe resistance level, or use a risk-to-reward ratio like 1:2 or 1:3.
Example of a Bearish (Short) Trade Setup:
Establish Bias: Your primary analysis shows the market is breaking down into a downtrend. Your bias is Bearish. You are now only looking for selling opportunities.
Identify Zone: The indicator draws a bearish FVG (a pink or orange box) during an impulsive down-move.
Wait for Pullback: Patiently wait for the price to rally back up into this FVG zone.
Confirmation Signal: A red DOWN arrow appears above a candle. This is your confirmation that sellers have rejected the price at this level.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position at the open of the next candle.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss above the high of the signal candle or above the top of the FVG zone.
Take Profit: Target a previous low, a key support level, or the next major FVG below.
Features Explained in Detail
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis: HTF zones (dotted lines) carry more weight. A signal from a 4-hour FVG while you are on a 15-minute chart is significantly more powerful than a signal from a 15-minute FVG alone. Use HTF zones as major points of interest.
Confirmed Tap-In Logic: The arrow only appears after price has touched the zone and then closed outside of it in the expected direction. This built-in confirmation filters out wicks that simply pass through a zone without a real market reaction.
Dual Alert System:
Entry Alert ("Price has entered..."): This is a heads-up alert. It tells you to pay attention because price is now in your pre-defined zone of interest.
Tap-In Alert ("Confirmed tap-in..."): This is the execution alert. It signals that the conditions for a trade have been met according to the indicator's logic.
Fade on Tapped: When enabled, a zone will become transparent after a confirmed signal. This visually cleans up your chart, showing you which zones have already been tested and "mitigated."
Minimum FVG Size (Ticks): In volatile or ranging markets, many tiny, insignificant FVGs can form. Use this setting to filter out the noise. Increase the value to only display larger, more significant imbalances.
Disclaimer: Trading involves substantial risk. This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be used as a sole reason to enter a trade. Always practice robust risk management and use this tool in conjunction with your own trading plan. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
ICT Turtle SoupICT Turtle Soup identifies classic “failed breakout” reversals after liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows, then augments the setup with volume validation, market structure context, Kill Zone (session) filters, Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), OTE (61.8–78.6%) zones, and optional risk targets (SL/TP 1:1, 1:2, 1:3). A compact dashboard summarizes current context (recent high/low, lookbacks, active session, structure state, mitigation counts).
What the Script Does
⦁ Detects Turtle Soup events: Price breaks a prior swing extreme and then quickly reverses back inside the range.
⦁ Grades signal quality: Factors include reversal speed, volume confirmation, breakout magnitude, and consecutive patterns.
⦁ Overlays market context: Trend/range classification (ADX / MA / ATR Bands / Combined), Kill Zones (Asian/London/NY), and time-of-day filters.
⦁ Marks IMB / mitigation zones: Draws Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, with optional live mitigation tracking and fading/removal on mitigation.
⦁ Shows OTE zones (61.8–78.6%) after confirmed reversals to highlight potential pullback entries.
⦁ Plots risk management guides: Optional SL buffer below/above reversal wick and TP bands at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 R multiples.
⦁ Emits alerts on bullish/bearish Turtle Soup confirmations.
How It Works (Conceptual)
1. Liquidity Sweep & Breakout Check
⦁ Looks back over user-defined windows (single or multiple lookbacks: short/medium/long) to find the most recent swing high/low.
⦁ Flags a breakout when price pierces that swing (above for bearish, below for bullish).
⦁ Optional breakout bar volume check requires volume > avg(volume, N) × multiplier.
⦁ Optional swing age check requires the broken swing to be at least X bars old.
2. Reversal Confirmation
⦁ Within N bars after the sweep, validates a mean-reversion close back inside the prior range with a minimum wick/body ratio to confirm rejection.
⦁ Quality Score adds points for:
⦁ Speed: reversal within fast_reversal_bars;
⦁ Volume: breakout and/or reversal volume spike;
⦁ Series: previous consecutive signals;
⦁ Magnitude: sufficient sweep distance.
⦁ Optional high-quality filter only shows signals meeting a minimum score.
3. Context Filters (Optional)
⦁ Sessions/Kill Zones: Only allow signals in selected sessions (Asian/London/NY) with fully custom HHMM inputs.
⦁ Time Window: Restrict to specific hours (e.g., 08–12).
⦁ Market Structure: Classify Trending vs. Ranging (via ADX, MA separation/slope, ATR bands, or Combined). You can allow signals in trends, ranges, or both.
4. Smart Confluence Layers
⦁ Order Blocks: Finds likely OBs with structural validation (e.g., bearish up-candle prior to down move), imbalance score (body/range × volume factor), and extend-until-touched with mitigation % tracking.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Detects valid 3-bar gaps (bull/bear) with size threshold, supports touch / 50% / full mitigation logic, and can fade or remove after mitigation.
⦁ OTE Zones: After a reversal, projects the 61.8–78.6% retracement box from the actual swing range; offset scales to timeframe to avoid clutter.
5. Risk & Display
⦁ SL/TP guides: Optional wick-buffered SL and 1:1/1:2/1:3 TPs.
⦁ Dashboard: Recent high/low, active lookbacks, current session, structure label, and live counts of mitigated OBs/FVGs.
Signals & Visuals
⦁ Bullish Turtle Soup: Triangle up + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Bearish Turtle Soup: Triangle down + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Labels can show: quality stars, FAST/SLOW reversal, reversal & breakout volume tags, previous consecutive count, and last move %.
⦁ Lines/Boxes: OBs, FVGs, OTE zones, SL/TP bands, and optional breakout magnitude line.
Inputs (Key Groups)
⦁ Turtle Soup: Lookbacks (single or S/M/L), reversal bars, wick ratio, magnitude line, reversal speed, volume confirmation (multiplier/length), consecutive tracking.
⦁ Order Blocks: Show/validate structure, lookback, extend-until-touched, mitigation % threshold, colors.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Show, min size %, colors, mitigation mode (Touch/50%/Full), optional remove-on-mitigation.
⦁ Kill Zones/Sessions: Enable Asian/London/NY with custom HHMM, colors.
⦁ OTE: Show OTE (61.8–78.6%), color, timeframe-adaptive offsets.
⦁ Signal Filters: Filter by session, time window, market structure method (ADX/MA/ATR/Combined), thresholds (ADX, MA periods, ATR multiplier), trending/ranging allowances, structure label & offset.
⦁ SL/TP: SL buffer %, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles & colors.
⦁ Breakout Validation: Require breakout-bar volume, min swing age, volume label toggles.
⦁ Alerts: Enable/disable.
⦁ Dashboard: Position, text size, colors, border.
How to Use
1. Markets & Timeframes: Works on FX, crypto, indices, and futures. Start with M5–H1 for intraday and H1–H4 for swing; refine lookbacks per instrument volatility.
2. Core Flow:
⦁ Enable multiple lookbacks for robustness on mixed volatility.
⦁ Turn on validate_swing_significance to avoid micro sweeps.
⦁ Use validate_breakout_volume + use_volume_confirmation to filter weak pokes.
3. Context Choice:
⦁ In ranging environments, allow both sides; in trends, consider counter-trend only at HTF OB/FVG/OTE confluence.
⦁ Narrow to London/NY for higher activity if desired.
4. Entries/Stops/Targets:
⦁ Entry on confirmed label close or at OTE pullback post-signal.
⦁ SL: below/above reversal wick + sl_buffer%.
⦁ TP: scale at 1:1/1:2/1:3 or manage via OB/FVG/structure breaks.
5. Confluence: Prefer Turtle Soup that aligns with OB/FVG zones and Combined structure method for added reliability.
Alerts
⦁ “Bullish Turtle Soup detected” and “Bearish Turtle Soup detected” fire on confirmation.
⦁ Set to Once Per Bar (as coded) or adjust in the alert dialog per your workflow.
Notes & Tips
⦁ Multiple lookbacks (S/M/L) help capture both shallow and deep liquidity sweeps.
⦁ Use market structure label with offset to keep it readable on the right of price.
⦁ Mitigation tracking visually communicates when OB/FVG confluence is no longer valid.
⦁ Dashboard = fast situational awareness; keep it on during live trading.
Limitations & Disclaimer
⦁ This tool is educational and not financial advice. No profitability or win-rate is implied. Markets carry risk; manage position size and test thoroughly.
⦁ Signal quality depends on market regime, spreads, news, and data quality. Backtests/forward-tests may differ.
⦁ Visual objects are capped for performance; old items may auto-clean to keep charts responsive.
Fair Value Gaps by DGTFair Value Gaps
A refined, multi-timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection tool that brings institutional imbalance zones to life directly on your chart.
Designed for precision, it visualizes how price delivers into inefficiencies across chart, higher, and lower (intrabar) timeframes — offering a fluid, structural view of liquidity displacement and market flow.

FVG +Displcement/ATR/3thClosedBody [hatefbw]Overview
This indicator is a modified version of the LuxAlgo group’s FVG indicator. It now includes three advanced optional filters that help traders identify only the strongest and most reliable Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), aligned with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT methodology.
How it works
We’ve added the following new configurable options to the indicator:
✅ Confirm Third Closed Body
When enabled, ensures the third candle (right after the gap) closes beyond the wick of the second candle.
✔️ Adds extra validation to price direction and filters out weaker FVGs.
✅ Confirm Displacement Candle
Validates that the second candle (the one forming the FVG) is a strong displacement candle. This condition checks for:
📏 Large body relative to total range (customizable %, default: 70%)
📈 High volume above 20-period moving average
🔺 Break of Structure (BOS) in the direction of the FVG
Bullish FVG: breaks above recent highs
Bearish FVG: breaks below recent lows
✅ ATR-Based Validation (optional)
Adds an additional filter where the second candle’s body or range must exceed the ATR (default: ATR 14, configurable).
✔️ Further confirms that the displacement candle has significant market movement.
Usage
All features are 100% optional and can be toggled in the settings.
Use them to filter out weak FVGs and align trades with institutional-grade setups.
ICT Suspension Block HTF [Herman]ICT Suspension Block HTF — auto-marking +SB / –SB with MTF
ICT Suspension Block HTF automatically detects and plots Suspension Blocks (SB ) on your chart and optionally pulls them from higher timeframes. It’s built for traders who want precise, visual SB zones with mitigation/entry alerts and a compact stats panel.
What’s a Suspension Block (SB) ?
-A Suspension Block is a body-to-body price imbalance formed by three consecutive candles in the same direction where the bodies create sequential “gaps” (a brief pause in price efficiency).
-Bullish +SB: three bullish candles with body-to-body gaps stepping up.
-Bearish –SB: three bearish candles with body-to-body gaps stepping down.
This script highlights the actionable block zone (between the body levels of the middle candle) and lets you extend it forward for reaction tests.
Note: This tool implements a widely discussed definition of Suspension Blocks for educational/analytical use.
Key features
-Auto detection: Plots +SB/–SB the moment a valid 3-candle structure forms.
-Multi-Timeframe (MTF):
-Current timeframe detection (toggle).
-MTF1 & MTF2 pulls (e.g., 5m and 15m by default) to show HTF SBs directly on your LTF chart.
-Smart de-duplication: Avoids drawing near-identical blocks (tick-aware tolerance).
-Midpoint line (optional): Draws the 50% of the block for refined confluence.

ICT Concepts(Liquidity, FVG & Liquidity Sweeps)📄 Description:
A Smart Money Concept (SMC)-based utility that blends ICT-style Liquidity Sweeps, Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping, and Swing Structure proxies – designed for traders seeking clean precision in price imbalance analysis.
⸻
🔍 1. What This Script Does
T his indicator brings together three core Institutional Concepts:
• Liquidity Sweep Detection : Identifies buy/sell-side liquidity grabs (fakeouts) confirmed by volume spikes – a common precursor to institutional order flow shifts.
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlights inefficiencies between price legs using strict ICT-style 3-candle or gap-based rules. These are areas institutions often revisit.
• Swing Structure Proxy (OB Mapping) : Tracks dynamic swing highs/lows to act as proxy zones for potential order blocks and structural boundaries.
It also includes a cooldown-based signal filtering engine to prevent overfitting and noise, helping traders avoid false positives in choppy markets.
⚙️ 2. How It Works (Core Logic)
✅ A. Liquidity Sweep Engine
• Looks back N bars to find Equal Highs or Equal Lows.
• Triggers a signal only if price sweeps the level and closes on the other side with a volume spike.
• Customizable volume threshold (e.g., 1.5x average volume).
• Includes a signal cooldown period to reduce clutter and boost quality.
Bullish Sweep = Price dips below equal lows but closes higher
Bearish Sweep = Price spikes above equal highs but closes lower
Visuals: Signal arrows with alerts (BUY LQ / SELL LQ)
⸻
✅ B. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Zones
• Detects FVGs using:
• Sequential logic: Low > High (bullish), High < Low (bearish)
• Gap logic: Open gaps at bar open
• Dynamic box drawing:
• Automatically extends FVG zones until price fully closes through them.
• Different color coding for bullish (teal) and bearish (orange) gaps.
• Customizable:
• Opacity control
• Option to include/exclude gap-based FVGs
• Hide filled zones
• Limit total zones rendered (for performance)
⸻
✅ C. Swing High/Low Structure
• Uses a lookback period to find latest swing high/low levels.
• Acts as a proxy for Order Block zones or structural shift reference points.
• Plotted as red (high) and green (low) lines.
⸻
🚀 3. How to Use It
• Scalpers and Intraday Traders can use Liquidity Sweep + FVG Confluence to time reversals or catch early entries into trend continuation moves.
• Swing Traders can observe swing OB proxies and recent FVG zones to frame directional bias and target zones.
• Volume-Aware Traders benefit from the volume filter that confirms sweeps are meaningful – not just random stop hunts.
🔔 Set alerts on:
• Bullish Liquidity Sweeps
• Bearish Liquidity Sweeps
You can use this in combination with your own trend filters, or even confluence it with Order Blocks, VWAP, or EMA trend tools.
⸻
💡 What Makes It Original?
• The script doesn’t merely combine standard tools — it builds a cohesive ICT-style detection system using:
• A custom volume-confirmed liquidity sweep filter
• Dynamic FVG rendering with filled logic + performance optimization
• Visual hierarchy to avoid clutter: clean line plots, contextual boxes, and conditional signals
• Highly customizable yet lightweight, making it suitable for fast-paced decision making.
⸻
✅ Notes
• Invite-only script for serious traders interested in Smart Money and ICT concepts.
• Does not repaint signals.
• All visuals are dynamically managed for clarity and performance.
Fair Value Gap / iVFG / Imbalance / MTF SuiteDescription
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Imbalances across up to 10 user-selected timeframes and manages them with precise retest handling and clean visualization options.
What’s unique
3-candle FVG detection per timeframe (no lookahead).
Retest handling: on the first touch the touched edge snaps to the retest wick and the zone recolors (fresh → retested).
Right-side projection limits to avoid endless extensions.
Deterministic multi-TF overlay: HTF zones are computed independently (lookahead off) and drawn in a stable, priority-based order.
iFVG / parked zones: optionally convert a filled gap into an iFVG (parked/blue) instead of deleting/greying it.
Optional Imbalance Add-on (3-candle), with split halves + 50% midline.
How it works (technical)
FVG logic (3 candles):
Bullish when low > high (gap up); Bearish when high < low (gap down).
The created box spans the untraded range of candle B and starts at time .
Retest behavior:
On the first wick-touch, the nearest boundary adapts to the wick extreme. If enabled, the box recolors to a “retested” palette.
Projection:
Boxes extend to the right; optional bar limit constrains length.
Display limits:
FIFO pruning per direction keeps only the newest N boxes; iFVG/grey pools can share or use separate limits.
Imbalance Add-on (optional):
Classic 3-candle imbalance; draws upper/lower halves and an optional 50% midline.
No lookahead / confirmation:
Calculations run with barmerge.lookahead_off; detection finalizes on bar close (repaint-free on close).
How to use
Treat fresh gaps as potential reaction zones or confluence with liquidity / structure.
Use retested gaps for continuation or rejection logic.
Limit right-projection and visible count to keep charts readable on lower TFs.
Combine with your own execution rules (entries, stops, partials).
Key settings
General: adjust/recolor on retest, right-side limit (bars).
Display Limits: max visible per direction; separate iFVG cap if desired.
Visuals: filled vs. outline, transparency, TF labels (auto or custom), label alignment.
Theme: presets (Pegasus Classic, Icefire, Solarized, Heatmap, Pastel, Monochrome) or Custom colors.
Timeframes: enable up to 10 TF slots (e.g., M1/M5/M15/H1/H4/D1…).
Add-on — Imbalance: enable/disable, midline on/off, filled/outline, colors.
Alerts
New Bullish FVG
New Bearish FVG
Add-on: New Bullish Imbalance
Add-on: New Bearish Imbalance
Notes & limitations
FVG detection is confirmed on bar close; intrabar retest recolor can occur as price interacts.
Historical rendering depends on chart history & session settings.
Many TFs + large box counts can be heavy; use projection limits and display caps for performance.
This tool does not generate trade signals; it visualizes inefficiencies for discretionary or rules-based workflows.

ICT Venom Trading Model [TradingFinder] SMC NY Session 2025SetupIntroduction
The ICT Venom Model is one of the most advanced strategies in the ICT framework, designed for intraday trading on major US indices such as US100, US30, and US500. This model is rooted in liquidity theory, time and price dynamics, and institutional order flow.
The Venom Model focuses on detecting Liquidity Sweeps, identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and analyzing Market Structure Shifts (MSS). By combining these ICT core concepts, traders can filter false breakouts, capture sharp reversals, and align their entries with the real institutional liquidity flow during the New York Session.
Key Highlights of ICT Venom Model :
Intraday focus : Optimized for US indices (US100, US30, US500).
Time element : Critical window is 08:00–09:30 AM (Venom Box).
Liquidity sweep logic : Price grabs liquidity at 09:30 AM open.
Confirmation tools : MSS, CISD, FVG, and Order Blocks.
Dual setups : Works in both Bullish Venom and Bearish Venom conditions.
At its core, the ICT Venom Strategy is a framework that explains how institutional players manipulate liquidity pools by engineering false breakouts around the initial range of the market. Between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time, a range called the “Venom Box” is formed.
This range acts as a trap for retail traders, and once the 09:30 AM market open occurs, price usually sweeps either the high or the low of this box to collect stop-loss liquidity. After this liquidity grab, the market often reverses sharply, giving birth to a classic Bullish Venom Setup or Bearish Venom Setup
The Venom Model (ICT Venom Trading Strategy) is not just a pattern recognition tool but a precise institutional trading model based on time, liquidity, and market structure. By understanding the Initial Balance Range, watching for Liquidity Sweeps, and entering trades from FVG zones or Order Blocks, traders can anticipate market reversals with high accuracy. This strategy is widely respected among ICT followers because it offers both risk management discipline and clear entry/exit conditions. In short, the Venom Model transforms liquidity manipulation into actionable trading opportunities.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Venom Model is applied by observing price behavior during the early hours of the New York session. The first step is to define the Initial Range, also called the Venom Box, which is formed between 08:00 and 09:30 AM EST. This range marks the high and low points where institutional traders often create traps for retail participants. Once the official market opens at 09:30 AM, price usually sweeps either the top or bottom of this box to collect liquidity.
After this liquidity grab, the market tends to reverse in alignment with the true directional bias. To confirm the setup, traders look for signals such as a Market Structure Shift (MSS), Change in State of Delivery (CISD), or the appearance of a Fair Value Gap (FVG). These elements validate the reversal and provide precise levels for trade execution.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a Bullish Venom Setup, the market first sweeps the low of the Venom Box after 09:30 AM, triggering sell-side liquidity collection. This downward move is often sharp and deceptive, designed to stop out retail long positions and attract new sellers. Once liquidity is taken, the market typically shifts direction, forming an MSS or CISD that signals a reversal to the upside.
Traders then wait for price to retrace into a Fair Value Gap or a demand-side Order Block created during the reversal leg. This retracement offers the ideal entry point for long positions. Stop-loss placement should be just below the liquidity sweep low, while profit targets are set at the Venom Box high and, if momentum continues, at higher session or daily highs.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In a Bearish Venom Setup, the process is similar but reversed. After the Initial Range is defined, if price breaks above the Venom Box high following the 09:30 AM open, it signals a false breakout designed to collect buy-side liquidity. This move usually traps eager buyers and clears out stop-losses above the high.
After the liquidity sweep, confirmation comes through an MSS or CISD pointing to a reversal downward. At this stage, traders anticipate a retracement into a Fair Value Gap or a supply-side Order Block formed during the reversal. Short entries are taken within this zone, with stop-loss positioned just above the liquidity sweep high. The logical profit targets include the Venom Box low and, in stronger bearish momentum, deeper session or daily lows.
🔵 Settings
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Venom Model is more than just a reversal setup; it is a complete intraday trading framework that blends liquidity theory, time precision, and market structure analysis. By focusing on the Initial Range between 08:00 and 09:30 AM New York time and observing how price reacts at the 09:30 AM open, traders can identify liquidity sweeps that reveal institutional intentions.
Whether in a Bullish Venom Setup or a Bearish Venom Setup, the model allows for precise entries through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks, while maintaining clear risk management with well-defined stop-loss and target levels.
Ultimately, the ICT Venom Model provides traders with a structured way to filter false moves and align their trades with institutional order flow. Its strength lies in transforming liquidity manipulation into actionable opportunities, giving intraday traders an edge in timing, accuracy, and consistency. For those who master its logic, the Venom Model becomes not only a strategy for entry and exit, but also a deeper framework for understanding how liquidity truly drives price in the New York session.

SP2L Pour Samadi Indicator [TradingFinder] Spike 2 Legs PA🔵 Introduction
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, an international Iranian trader, is a simple yet powerful price action setup developed to identify precise entry points following sharp market movements.
A Spike refers to a sudden and rapid move in the market, usually triggered by a heavy flow of orders in one direction. This sharp movement creates an Imbalance between buyers and sellers. Since the market does not have time to trade evenly during such moves, it generates Inefficiency on the chart.
The direct result of a spike is usually the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a space between candles indicating that trades were not distributed fairly. In simple terms, the spike is the cause, while Imbalance, Inefficiency, and FVG are its consequences.
🟣 How is a Spike formed?
Big Movement : A spike begins with a sharp and powerful move caused by heavy order flow in one direction.
Imbalance : This move disrupts the balance between buyers and sellers.
Inefficiency : Due to the speed of the move, the market fails to trade efficiently, leaving inefficiency on the chart.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) : The final outcome is a price gap between candles, highlighting unfair distribution of trades.
In SP2L, entries occur right after a spike. The entry logic is based on the structure of each candle’s Higher Lows (HLs) or Lower Highs (LHs).
When a spike occurs and candles consecutively form higher lows or lower highs :
In bullish conditions, each previous low becomes a potential Buy Entry.
In bearish conditions, each previous high becomes a potential Sell Entry.
🔵 How to Use
In the SP2L strategy, entries occur directly within the ongoing strong movement (the spike). A spike forms when heavy order flow pushes the market strongly in one direction, creating several large candles in sequence. This disrupts balance and leaves patterns such as Imbalance and FVG on the chart.
During such moves, the market does not necessarily retrace; instead, it continues strongly in the direction of the spike. The key principle in SP2L is that candles begin forming Higher Lows (HLs) in a bullish spike or Lower Highs (LHs) in a bearish spike. Each HL or LH acts as a potential entry level, but the actual entry only triggers once price returns to retest that level. This allows the trader to enter within a powerful wave while keeping stop-losses clear and risk controlled.
🟣 Bullish SP2L
When a bullish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Higher Lows. Each HL marks a potential entry. The entry is activated when price returns to that HL.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed below the candle where the spike originated, usually the lowest point before the sharp move.
Take-Profit (TP) : Defined based on classic risk-to-reward ratios, commonly TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2. Stronger trends may allow extended targets.
🟣 Bearish SP2L
When a bearish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Lower Highs. Each LH marks a potential sell entry. The entry is triggered when price returns to retest that LH.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed above the candle where the bearish spike started, usually the highest point before the sharp drop.
Take-Profit (TP) : Similar to bullish setups, typically TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2, with extended targets possible if bearish momentum continues.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Spike Filter | Movement
Minimum Spike Bars : Defines the minimum number of consecutive candles required for a valid spike.
Movement Power : Enables or disables the momentum-based spike filter.
Movement Power Level : Sets the strength threshold; higher values filter out weaker moves and only detect strong spikes.
🟣 Spike Filter | Gap
Gap Filter : Enables or disables the gap filter.
Gap Type : Selects which type of gap should be detected (All Gaps, Significant, Structural, Major).
🟣 Spike Filter | Doji
Doji Tolerance : Defines whether doji candles are allowed within a spike.
Max Doji Body Ratio : Maximum ratio of body-to-total candle size for classifying a candle as a doji.
Max Doji in Spike Ratio : Maximum percentage of doji candles allowed within a spike.
🟣 Trend Detection
Trend Detection : Enables or disables the trend detection module using dojis.
Max Doji Body Ratio : Maximum body-to-candle ratio used to classify a doji in trend calculations.
Candle Lookback : Number of candles used to calculate doji percentage for trend evaluation.
Max Doji in Trend Ratio : Maximum percentage of doji candles allowed within the lookback window for the trend to be valid.
🟣 Position Management
Stop-Loss Threshold : Enables or disables the stop-loss threshold feature.
Stop-Loss Threshold Value : Defines the value of the stop-loss threshold for risk management.
Risk-Reward Ratio : Sets the desired risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 1:2).
Include SL Threshold in R:R : Determines whether the stop-loss threshold is included in risk-to-reward calculations.
🟣 Display Settings
Display Mode : Chooses between Setup (showing setups) or Signal (showing trade signals).
Only Display the Last Position : Displays only the most recent position on the chart when enabled.
🔵 Conclusion
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, offers a simple yet effective framework for trading strong market flows. Built on the logic of spikes and candle structures (HLs and LHs), it identifies precise entry points directly within the main movement of the market, where risk is clear and reward is logical.
With transparent rules, defined stop-loss placement, and flexible risk management, SP2L proves especially effective in volatile markets such as forex, gold, and indices. Its simplicity makes it practical for both beginner traders and seasoned professionals.
In summary, SP2L helps traders avoid unnecessary complexity by focusing on spikes and consecutive HL/LH formations to capture accurate, low-risk entries.
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volumatic Fair Value Gaps indicator detects and plots size-filtered Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and immediately analyzes the bullish vs. bearish volume composition inside each gap. When an FVG forms, the tool samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe , splits it into Buy and Sell components, and overlays two compact bars whose percentages always sum to 100%. Each gap also shows its total traded volume . A live dashboard (top-right) summarizes how many bullish and bearish FVGs are currently active and their cumulative volumes—offering a quick read on directional participation and trend pressure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) : Imbalance zones between three consecutive candles where price “skips” trading. The script plots bullish and bearish gaps and extends them until mitigated.
Size Filtering : Only significant gaps (by relative size percentile) are drawn, reducing noise and emphasizing meaningful imbalances.
// Gap Filters
float diff = close > open ? (low - high ) / low * 100 : (low - high) / high *100
float sizeFVG = diff / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(diff, 1000, 100) * 100
bool filterFVG = sizeFVG > 15
Volume Decomposition : For each FVG, the indicator inspects a 10× lower timeframe and aggregates volume of bullish vs. bearish candles inside the gap’s span.
100% Split Bars : Two inline bars per FVG display the % Bull and % Bear shares; their total is always 100%.
Total Gap Volume : A numeric label at the right edge of the FVG shows the total traded volume associated with that gap.
Mitigation Logic : Gaps are removed when price closes through (or touches via high/low—user-selectable) the opposite boundary.
Dashboard Summary : Counts and sums the active bullish/bearish FVGs and their total volumes to gauge directional dominance.
🔵 FEATURES
Bullish & Bearish FVG plotting with independent color controls and visibility toggles.
Adaptive size filter (percentile-based) to keep only impactful gaps.
Lower-TF volume sampling at 10× faster resolution for more granular Buy/Sell breakdown.
Per-FVG volume bars : two horizontal bars showing Bull % and Bear % (sum = 100%).
Per-FVG total volume label displayed at the right end of the gap’s body.
Mitigation source option : choose close or high/low for removing/invalidating gaps.
Overlap control : older overlapped gaps are cleaned to avoid clutter.
Auto-extension : active gaps extend right until mitigated.
Dashboard : shows count of bullish/bearish gaps on chart and cumulative volume totals for each side.
Performance safeguards : caps the number of active FVG boxes to maintain responsiveness.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Turn on/off FVG types : Enable Bullish FVG and/or Bearish FVG depending on your focus.
Tune the filter : The script already filters by relative size; if you need fewer (stronger) signals, increase the percentile threshold in code or reduce the number of displayed boxes.
Choose mitigation source :
close — stricter; gap is removed when a closing price crosses the boundary.
high/low — more sensitive; a wick through the boundary mitigates the gap.
Read the per-FVG bars :
A higher Bull % inside a bullish gap suggests constructive demand backing the imbalance.
A higher Bear % inside a bearish gap suggests supply is enforcing the imbalance.
Use total gap volume : Larger totals imply more meaningful interest at that imbalance; confluence with structure/HTF levels increases relevance.
Watch the dashboard : If bullish counts and cumulative volume exceed bearish, market pressure is likely skewed upward (and vice versa). Combine with trend tools or market structure for entries/exits.
Optional: hide volume bars : Disable Volume Bars when you want a cleaner FVG map while keeping total volume labels and the dashboard.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps blends precise FVG detection with lower-timeframe volume analytics to show not only where imbalances exist but also who powers them. The per-gap Bull/Bear % bars, total volume labels, and the cumulative dashboard together provide a fast, high-signal read on directional participation. Use the tool to prioritize higher-quality gaps, align with trend bias, and time mitigations or continuations with greater confidence.
Silent Trigger Silent Trigger combines widely used concepts under one scoring engine. Each module adds weight only when its conditions are met:
1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) context
• Requests 1H and the next HTF up (e.g., 4H/D) with request.security(...) on confirmed bars only.
• Uses RSI(14) and a MACD line (EMA12–EMA26 difference) for bias.
• By default HTF weights the score. There is an option to require HTF alignment if you prefer a hard filter.
2. Market regime
• ADX for trend strength.
• Bollinger Band width and a fractal-energy proxy to detect squeeze/coiling vs expansion.
3. Smart-money / Wyckoff structure
• High-volume narrow bars, absorption, spring/upthrust, and liquidity grabs past recent swing highs/lows.
4. Momentum & divergences
• RSI and MACD-line divergences (regular + hidden) and simple exhaustion checks.
5. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• 3-bar gap with mid-gap revisit confirmation.
6. Volume context
• Relative volume and a compact 10-bin rolling volume profile to locate HVN proximity.
7. Sessions / time filter
• Optional London/NY “kill zone” participation filter.
8. Correlation (optional)
• Simple BTC trend check for USD-quoted markets.
Pre-Move (yellow) logic:
Triggers only when the market is compressed (squeeze/low fractal energy), ADX is rising, the MACD histogram is near zero (pressure building), and there is a money-flow impulse (MFI slope and/or OBV Z-score spike).
The yellow diamond is plotted on the side of the expected move:
• Below for bullish reversals / Above for bullish breakouts.
• Above for bearish reversals / Below for bearish breakouts.
A built-in cooldown keeps yellows from spamming.
⸻
What appears on the chart
• Bull diamond (green): Total score ≥ your threshold and > bear score.
• Bear diamond (magenta): Mirror of the above.
• Pre-move (yellow): Early heads-up; use it with HTF context and structure.
All diamonds are intentionally tiny to minimize clutter.
⸻
Key settings
• Signal Mode & Min Probability – tighten/loosen confirmations.
• Use Higher TF in Scoring – soft weighting (default).
• Require HTF Alignment – optional hard gate.
• Module toggles – Smart Money, Wyckoff, FVG, Correlation, Sessions.
• Pre-Move – enable, cooldown bars, MFI levels, OBV Z-score threshold.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Choose a TF that matches your style (5–15m intraday, 1H–4H swing).
2. Read HTF bias first; trade in that direction unless structure clearly supports a reversal.
3. Treat yellow as “get ready.” Act only when a green/magenta prints with structure (S/R, FVG, HVN) and acceptable risk.
4. Place stops beyond the liquidity level or FVG midpoint; size positions conservatively.
⸻
Repainting & HTF policy
• No lookahead is used anywhere.
• request.security is called on confirmed bars; the HTF MACD line is computed inside the HTF context (single series), not by indexing a tuple.
• Signals are designed for bar-close confirmation. Intra-bar alerts can change until the bar closes.
⸻
Limitations (honest)
• Money-flow features depend on volume quality; thin/synthetic volume reduces reliability.
• Pre-moves can fail during unscheduled news shocks or when HTF trend is dominant.
• This is not financial advice. You are responsible for entries, exits, and risk.
⸻
Alerts
Built-in bull/bear alerts include direction and a probability bucket (Basic/Moderate/Strong/Extreme).
Pre-move yellows are primarily visual; you can still set an alert on their plot condition if desired.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”
• A single probability engine blends HTF bias, structure (liquidity/Wyckoff/FVG), regime, and volume into a score, rather than stacking unrelated indicators.
• A pre-move detector that requires compression + rising trend energy + money-flow impulse, and places the marker on the side of the expected move, with cooldown control.
• A lightweight rolling HVN check to bias continuation vs mean-reversion near key nodes.

Greer Gap# Greer Gap Indicator (No mitigation: i.e. removing false signals)
## Summary
The **Greer Gap Indicator** identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** and introduces specialized **Greer Bull Gaps (Blue)** and **Greer Bear Gaps (Orange)** to highlight high-probability trading opportunities. Unlike traditional FVG indicators, it avoids hindsight bias by not removing historical gaps based on future price action, ensuring transparency in signal accuracy. Built upon LuxAlgo’s FVG logic, it adds unique filtering: only the first Greer Gap after an opposite gap is plotted if its level (min for Bull, max for Bear) is not higher/lower than the previous Greer Gap of the same type, while all valid gaps are recorded for comparison. Traders can use these gaps as support/resistance or entry signals, customizable via timeframe, look back, and display options.
## Description
This indicator detects and displays **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** on the chart, with a focus on specialized **Greer Gaps**:
- **Bullish Gaps (Green)**: Areas where the low of the current candle is above the high of a previous candle (look back period), indicating potential upward momentum.
- **Bearish Gaps (Red)**: Areas where the high of the current candle is below the low of a previous candle, indicating potential downward momentum.
- **Greer Bull Gaps (Blue)**: A bullish gap that is above the latest bearish gap's max. Only the first such gap after a bearish gap is plotted if it meets criteria (not higher than the previous Greer Bull Gap's min), but all valid ones are recorded for comparison.
- **Greer Bear Gaps (Orange)**: A bearish gap that is below the latest bullish gap's min. Only the first such gap after a bullish gap is plotted if it meets criteria (not lower than the previous Greer Bear Gap's max), but all valid ones are recorded.
## How It Works
The script uses a dynamic look back period to detect FVGs. It maintains a record of all detected gaps and applies additional logic for Greer Gaps:
- **Greer Bull Gaps**: Checks if the new bullish gap's min is above the latest bearish gap's max. Plots only if it's the first since the last bearish gap and its min is <= previous Greer Bull min (or first one).
- **Greer Bear Gaps**: Checks if the new bearish gap's max is below the latest bullish gap's min. Plots only if it's the first since the last bullish gap and its max is >= previous Greer Bear max (or first one).
- **Resets**: A new bearish gap resets the Greer Bull Gap flag, and a new bullish gap resets the Greer Bear Gap flag.
## How to Use
- **Timeframe**: Set a higher timeframe (e.g., 'D' for daily) to detect gaps from that timeframe on the current chart.
- **Look back Period**: Adjust to change gap detection sensitivity (default: 34). Use 2 if you want to compare to LuxAlgo
- **Extend**: Controls how far right the gap boxes extend.
- **Show Options**: Toggle visibility of all bullish/bearish gaps or Greer Gaps.
- **Colors**: Customize colors for each gap type.
- **Application**: Use Greer Gaps as potential support/resistance levels or entry signals, but combine with other analysis for confirmation.
## Originality and Credits
This script is inspired by and builds upon the **"Fair Value Gap "** indicator by LuxAlgo (available on TradingView: ()).
**Credits**: Thanks to LuxAlgo for the core FVG detection logic.
**Significant Changes**:
- Added **Greer Bull and Bear Gap** logic for filtered, directional gaps with reset mechanisms.
- Introduced recording of all valid Greer Gaps without plotting all, to compare levels without hindsight bias.
- **No mitigation/removal of gaps**: Unlike LuxAlgo's approach, which mitigates (removes or alters) gaps based on future price action (e.g., when filled), this can create a hindsight bias where incorrect signals disappear over time. If a signal is used for a trade and later removed due to new data, it doesn't reflect real-time performance accurately. The Greer Gap avoids this by using gap comparisons to validate signals without altering historical boxes, ensuring transparency in when signals were right or wrong.
ICT FVG Buy/Sell SignalsThis bot is built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts such as:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – imbalance zones between candles.
Consequent Encroachment (CE) – the midpoint of a gap.
Premium / Discount Arrays – dealing ranges split into premium (sell-side) and discount (buy-side) zones.
Displacement candles – strong impulsive moves that confirm intent.
The bot scans for FVGs, marks CE levels, and waits for price to return to these levels.
When price revisits a valid FVG zone with displacement confirmation and in the correct PD array, the bot generates a BUY or SELL signal.
✅ Signal Rules
Buy Signal
Price trades back into a Bullish FVG.
Current bar shows bullish displacement (large bullish body relative to ATR).
Price is in discount territory of the current dealing range (if PD filter is enabled).
Close is above the CE line of the FVG.
Sell Signal
Price trades back into a Bearish FVG.
Current bar shows bearish displacement.
Price is in premium territory of the current dealing range.
Close is below the CE line of the FVG.
🎯 What You’ll See on the Chart
Green “BUY” labels below candles when long signals trigger.
Red “SELL” labels above candles when short signals trigger.
Shaded background:
Red = Premium zone (sell side).
Teal = Discount zone (buy side).
Yellow line = dealing range midpoint (equilibrium).
Dots on CE lines = midpoints of the latest bullish/bearish FVG.
🔔 Alerts

SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced) Script Summary
Overview
The "SMC Analysis - Fair Value Gaps (Enhanced)" script, written in Pine Script (version 6), is a technical analysis indicator designed for TradingView to identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on a price chart. It supports both the main timeframe and multiple higher timeframes (MTF) for comprehensive market analysis. FVGs are price gaps formed by a three-candle pattern, indicating potential areas of market inefficiency where price may return to fill the gap.
Key Features
FVG Detection:
Identifies bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of a candle two bars prior is lower than the low of the current candle, with the middle candle being bullish (close > open).
Identifies bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of a candle two bars prior is higher than the high of the current candle, with the middle candle being bearish (close < open).
Visualizes FVGs as colored boxes on the chart (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Mitigation Tracking:
Tracks when FVGs are touched (price overlaps the gap range) or mitigated (price fully closes the gap).
Strict Mode: Marks an FVG as mitigated when price touches the gap range.
Normal Mode: Requires a full breakthrough (price crossing the gap’s bottom for bullish FVGs or top for bearish FVGs) for mitigation.
Optionally converts FVG box borders to dashed lines and increases transparency when partially touched.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Support:
Analyzes FVGs on three user-defined higher timeframes (default: 15m, 60m, 240m).
Displays MTF FVGs with distinct labels and slightly more transparent colors.
Ensures no duplicate processing of MTF bars to maintain performance.
Customization Options:
FVG Length: Adjustable duration for how long FVGs are displayed (default: 20 bars).
Show/Hide FVGs: Toggle visibility for main timeframe and each MTF.
Color Customization: User-defined colors for bullish and bearish FVGs (default: green and red).
Display Options: Toggle for showing dashed lines after partial touches and strict mitigation mode.
Performance Optimization:
Limits the number of displayed boxes (50 for main timeframe, 20 per MTF) to prevent performance issues.
Automatically removes older boxes to maintain a clean chart.
Functionality
Visualization: Draws boxes around detected FVGs, with customizable colors and text labels ("FVG" for main timeframe, "FVG " for MTF).
Dynamic Updates: Extends or terminates FVG boxes based on mitigation status and user settings.
Efficient Storage: Uses arrays to manage FVG data (boxes, tops, bottoms, indices, mitigation status, and touch status) separately for main and MTF analyses.
Use Case
This indicator is designed for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) to identify areas of market inefficiency (FVGs) for potential price reversals or continuations. The MTF support allows analysis across different timeframes, aiding in confirming trends or spotting higher-timeframe support/resistance zones.
