Price Action Volumetric Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The Price Action Volumetric Breaker Blocks indicator is designed to identify and visualize significant price levels in the market. It combines concepts of price action, volume analysis, and market structure to provide traders with a comprehensive view of potential support and resistance areas. This indicator identifies "breaker blocks," which are price zones where the market has shown significant interest in the past.
These blocks are created based on swing highs and lows, and are further analyzed using volume data to determine their strength. The indicator also tracks market structure shifts, providing additional context to price movements.
By visualizing these key levels and market structure changes, traders can gain insights into potential areas of price reversal or continuation, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Breaker Block Identification: The indicator automatically detects and draws breaker blocks based on swing highs and lows. These blocks represent areas of potential support and resistance.
Volume-Weighted Strength Analysis: Each breaker block is analyzed using volume data to determine its bullish and bearish strength. This is visually represented by the proportion of green (bullish) and red (bearish) coloring within each block.
Market Structure Break (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator identifies and labels Market Structure Breaks (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS) events, providing context to larger market trends.
Customizable Settings:
- Adjustable swing length for identifying pivot points
- Option to show a specific number of recent breaker blocks
- Choice between wick or close price for violation checks
- Toggle to hide overlapping blocks for cleaner analysis
Violation Detection: Automatically detects when a breaker block has been violated (broken through), either by wick or close price, depending on user settings.
Overlap Control: Provides an option to hide overlapping order blocks, ensuring that the chart remains clean and easy to read when multiple blocks are detected in close proximity.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Breaker Blocks:
Breaker blocks are key areas where the price moves through and invalidates a previously identified order block. The indicator detects a breaker block when the price violates an order block by exceeding its high or low (depending on whether it's a bullish or bearish block). This violation is determined by either the wick or the close of a candle, depending on the user's selection in the "Violation Check" setting. When a breaker block is detected, the indicator removes the violated order block from the chart, signaling that the zone is no longer relevant for future price action.
Bullish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bearish order block (red) is violated by the price closing above the block’s top boundary or when the wick surpasses this level. It signals that a prior bearish structure has been invalidated, and the market may shift to a bullish trend.
Bearish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bullish order block (teal) is violated by the price closing below the block’s bottom boundary or when the wick drops below it. It suggests that a previous bullish structure has been broken, indicating potential bearish momentum.
Market Structure Labels:
"MSB" (Market Structure Break) labels indicate a potential change in trend direction.
"BOS" (Break of Structure) labels confirm the continuation of the current trend after breaking a significant level.
Block Strength:
A block with more green indicates stronger bullish interest.
A block with more red indicates stronger bearish interest.
The relative sizes of the green and red portions show the balance of power between buyers and sellers at that level.

Forex Master Pattern Screener 2Overview
The Forex Master Pattern Screener 2 is based on the Master Pattern, which includes contraction, expansion, and trend phases. This indicator is designed to identify and visualize market volatility, market phases, multi-timeframe contractions, liquidity points, and pivot calculations. It provides a clear image of the market's expansion and contraction phases. It's based on an alternative form of technical analysis that reveals the psychological patterns of financial markets through three phases.
Unlike the other master pattern indicators that just use highs and lows and aren't as accurate for finding contractions, this one uses actual measures of volatility to find extremely low levels of volatility and has customizable parameters depending on what you want to do.
What is the Forex Master Pattern?
The Forex Master Pattern is a framework that revolves around understanding market cycles, comprising the three main phases: contraction, expansion, and trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market has low volatility and is consolidating within a narrow range. Institutional volume tends to be low, and it's suggested to avoid trade entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: Volatility starts to increase, and there start to be bigger moves in price. Institutional traders start accumulating positions in this phase, and they might manipulate prices to draw in retail traders, creating liquidity for their own buying or selling goals.
Trend Phase: This final phase completes the market cycle. Institutional traders begin taking profits, leading to a reversal. This triggers panic among retail traders, resulting in liquidations and stops. This generates liquidity for institutional traders to profit, leaving retail traders with overvalued positions.
Value Line:
The "value line" acts as the fair value zone or the neutral belief zone where buyers and sellers agree on fair value. It can be likened to the center of gravity and is created during contraction zones.
Applications:
Identifying these phases and understanding the value lines can help traders determine the market's general direction and make better trading decisions.
This isn't a strategy but a concept explaining market behavior, allowing traders to develop various strategies based on these principles
The contractions, which are based on volatility calculations, can help you find out when big moves will occur, known as expansions.
How traders can use this indicator
1. Identifying Market Phases:
Contraction Phase: Look for periods where the market has low volatility and is contracting, indicated by a narrow range and highlighted by the contraction box. During this phase, traders prepare for a breakout but usually avoid making new trades until a clearer trend emerges.
Expansion Phase: When the indicator signals an expansion, it suggests that the market is moving out of consolidation and may be beginning a new trend. Traders might look for entry points here, anticipating a continuation of the trend.
Trend Phase: As the market enters this phase, traders look for signs of sustained movement in one direction and consider positions that benefit from this trend.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
By looking at multiple timeframes, traders can get a broader view of the market. For instance, a contraction phase in a shorter timeframe within an expansion phase in a longer timeframe might suggest a pullback in an overall uptrend. This indicator comes with a MTF contraction screener that is customizable.
2. Fair Value Lines:
The fair value acts like a "center of gravity.". Traders could use this as a reference point for understanding market sentiment and potential reversal points. This indicator shows these values in the middle of the contraction boxes.
3. Volatility Analysis:
This indicator's volatility settings can help traders understand the market's current volatility state. High volatility indicates a more active market with larger, faster moves, while low volatility might suggest caution and tighter stop-losses or take-profits. If volatility is contracting, then an expansion is imminent. This indicator shows the volatility with percentile ranks in 0-100 values and also alerts you when volatility is contracting, aka the contraction phase.
Volatility Calculations:
This indicator uses a geometric standard deviation to measure volatility based on historical price data. This metric quantifies the variability of price changes over a specified lookback period and then computes a percentile rank within a defined sample period. This percentile calculation helps evaluate the current volatility compared to historical levels.
Based on the percentile rank, the indicator sets thresholds to determine whether the current volatility is within a range considered "contraction" or not. For example, if there are really low levels of volatility on the percentile rank, then there is currently a contraction phase. The indicator also compares the volatility value against a moving average, where values above the current moving average value signal the expansion phase.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
This indicator comes with a multi-timeframe table that shows contractions for 5 different timeframes, and the table is customizable.
Bands:
This indicator comes with bands that are constructed based on the statistical calculations of the standard deviation applied to the log-transformed closing prices. It is commonly assumed that the distribution of prices fits some type of right-skewed distribution. To remove most of the skewness, you can use a log transformation , which makes the distribution more symmetrical and easier to analyze, thus the use of these bands . These bands are in the 2 standard deviation range. You can use these bands to trade at extreme levels. The band parameter is based on the contraction volatility lookback, which is in the Volatility Model Settings tab.
Ways the bands could be used with the contractions:
1. Identifying Breakout trades:
Contraction Zones: These zones indicate periods of low volatility where the market is consolidating. There are usually narrow price ranges, which are considered a build-up phase before a significant price move in any direction.
Bands: When the contraction zone occurs, you might notice the bands tightening around the price on smaller lookback periods, reflecting the decreased volatility. A continuous widening of the bands could then signal the beginning of an expansion phase, indicating a potential breakout opportunity.
2. Enhancing Trade Timing:
Before the Breakout: During the contraction phase, the bands might move closer together, reflecting the lower volatility. You can monitor this phase closely and prepare for a potential expansion. The bands can provide additional confirmation; for instance, a price move toward one of the bands might show an extreme occurrence and might show what the direction of the breakout could be.
After the breakout: Once the price breaks out of the contraction zone and goes to the expansion phase, and if it coincides with the bands widening significantly, it could reinforce the strength and potential sustainability of the new trend, providing a clearer entry.
3. Price-touching bands during a contraction:
If the price repeatedly touches one of the bands during a contraction phase, it might suggest a buildup of pressure in that direction. For example, if the price is consistently touching the upper band even though the bands are narrow, it might suggest bullish pressure that could occur once the expansion phase begin.
4. Price at the band extreme levels during Expansion:
If the price is at the extreme levels of the bands once the expansion phase occurs, it might indicate unsustainable levels and a low probability of the price continuing beyond those levels. Potentially signaling that a reversal will occur. Some trades could use these extremes to place entries during the expansion phases.
Liquidity Levels:
This script comes with liquidity points, whose functionality goes towards identifying pivotal levels in price action, focusing on swing highs and swing lows in the market. These points represent areas where significant buying (for swing lows) or selling (for swing highs) activity has occurred, implying potential levels or resistance in the price movement.
These liquidity points, often identified as highs and lows, are points where market participants have shown interest in the past. These levels can act as psychological indications where traders might place orders, leading to increased trading activity when these levels are approached or breached. When used with the Forex Master Pattern phases, liquidity levels can enhance trades placed with this indicator. For instance, if the market is expanding and approaches a significant liquidity level, there might be a higher chance of a breakout or reversal, showing a possible entry or exit point.
Liquidity Levels in the Contraction Phase:
Accumulation and Distribution: During the contraction phase, liquidity levels can indicate where huge positions are likely accumulating or distributing quietly. If price is near a known liquidity level and in a contraction phase, it might suggest that a large market player is building a position in anticipation of the next move.
Breakout Points: Liquidity levels can also give clues about where price could go after the breakout from the contraction phase. A break above a liquidity level might indicate a strong move to come as the market overcomes significant selling pressure.
Liquidity Levels in Expansion Phase:
Direct Confirmation: As the expansion phase begins, breaking through liquidity levels can confirm the new trend's direction. If the price moves past these levels with huge volume, it might indicate that the market has enough momentum to continue the trend.
Target Areas: Liquidity levels can act as target areas during the expansion phase. Traders using this indicator could look to take profits if the price approaches these levels, possibly expecting a reaction from the market.
True VolumeThis indicator is designed to provide in-depth analysis of volume data from multiple sources and distinguish highly liquid candles by measuring the density of the volume. By focusing on the density and concentration of volume, rather than just the volume itself, it offers a more nuanced view of the market. This can be particularly beneficial in markets like cryptocurrencies, where understanding the role of market makers versus retail traders is crucial for strategic trading.
This is how it works:
Multiple Asset Integration:
Unlike standard volume indicators, True Volume allows the inclusion of up to four different assets (or the same asset from various exchanges) into its volume calculations. This feature provides a broader and more accurate total volume representation, essential in markets like cryptocurrencies where volume is dispersed across multiple exchanges.
Adjustable Time Anchors:
It offers various time anchor options, allowing traders to analyze volume data over different time periods or a specific amount of lookback candles. This flexibility helps in understanding volume trends over both short and long-term time frames.
Volume Density Analysis:
The core of this indicator is the innovative concept of Volume Density. It's calculated using a sigmoid function that normalizes the volume-to-price movement ratio in a unique way without needing a max cap or having the density column spike off the chart. This method helps in distinguishing between normal volume fluctuations and those that are unusually dense for the given price movement. This distinction is key in identifying potential market maker activities.
The Visuals:
The Volume Density is displayed in a unique way without compromising the original volume bars or cap the density. Infinite density can essentially be represented without having an infinitely large bar or caping out the density data. There's also two different color themes, optional bar color, and an option to flip the density bars up-side down for a different representation. Each of the original volume sources can be displayed separately as well. All colors as customizable as well for your own preference.
Price Volume Trend (PVT):
Included in this indicator is also the Price Volume Trend, which cumulatively measures the density delta, offering insights into the longer-term momentum of the market.
How do I trade it?
This indicator aims to give you insight into 'the other side of the trade', the Market Makers. When you buy, they provide liquidity by selling to you. That drives the Volume Density up.
Consider whether the market maker is currently long or short and might need to cover their position by wicking price back, or "adjust inventory". Especially towards the end of a market session.
Consider dense candles during market gaps or weekends to be market manipulation moves.
The density also goes up when stop losses are hit. If price makes a higher high or lower low, high density could indicate a liquidation event.
MM Detector (Long)This script tries to detect a market maker pattern.
A market maker pattern is usually made up of a high volume push down followed by a w pattern.
The script finds a market maker low with unusual volume and then looks for a push high (also with high volume) and usually through the ema 50.
The first push is normally a test but can be a good place to go long.
There are often atleast two pushes up in a MM pattern.
How to use.
Wait for the indicator to detect a market maker push low with high volume.
Along with other confirmations, go long when the indicator prints the first or second long push.
Advanced Liquidations Heatmap v4 [HG]Description:
This indicator examines price movements, volume, support, and resistance levels to pinpoint potential trading opportunities. It identifies large, volatile moves with substantial activity in specific zones on the chart, which the market tends to revisit due to the high transaction volume in these areas. The primary purpose of this indicator is to highlight these high-probability areas where the market is likely to return.
Leverage Liquidations Feature:
This indicator incorporates a feature that displays arbitrary liquidation levels, corresponding to various leverage settings common among market participants. Users need to analyze the market and select appropriate leverage settings based on their insights.
Transparency Feature:
The indicator also includes a feature that modulates the transparency of the displayed areas according to their significance, enhancing the visual representation of market activity.
Color Modulation Feature:
This feature modifies the color of the displayed areas depending on their importance.
Using the indicator:
We recommend using this indicator to trade towards and away from significant areas, and to look for reversals when these zones are revisited. Although trading offers no certainties, only probabilities, the significant candles on the chart denote high-probability areas the market frequently revisits. Additionally, zones recovered between 50% - 100% indicate high-probability points where the market might reverse its direction. The probability of a market direction change escalates as more significant areas are recovered sequentially. While there's no strict rule for when these areas are recovered, observing candle colors (green, blue, red, purple) can assist in assessing the velocity of a move to or from a zone. For more effective use of this indicator, determine a trend using other preferred indicators or even a basic EMA. Dedicate time to understanding how these zones are revisited for each specific asset.
Strong Move Up:
Strong Move Down:
Area Recovered Partially:
Significant Areas Are Recovered Sequentially:
Here's how to use the "Leverage Liquidations Feature":
Analyze market leverage tendencies: It's essential for users to undertake their own research into the common leverage settings utilized by market participants for a specific asset. By doing this, they can input these settings into the indicator to gain a better comprehension of potential price movements. Some sensible defaults are included in the default settings.
Visualize the liquidation levels on the chart: After the user has identified the prevalent leverage settings, the indicator will project the corresponding liquidation levels on the chart. These levels signify the points at which numerous leveraged positions would face liquidation, considering the current market price. This data can be instrumental in setting stop losses, establishing profit targets, and predicting potential market movements due to mass liquidations.
Liquidations Levels On BTC 25x + 50x + 100x + 125x:
Here's how to use the Modulation Features:
Areas more likely to be revisited are rendered more opaque, thereby increasing their visibility on the chart. In contrast, areas less likely to be revisited are shown more transparently. This delivers a straightforward visualization of where the bulk of trading activity is occurring. There's also a Dynamic Theme mode that utilizes color, not just transparency, to emphasize important areas.
Main Features:
Significant candles are identified and marked with colors, indicating high-probability areas the market may revisit.
The indicator facilitates the display of arbitrary liquidation levels based on user-defined leverage settings.
Features modulation options that adjust the transparency and color of the areas shown, based on their importance, offering an intuitive grasp of the market. The Dynamic Theme mode greatly enhances market readability.
The indicator can exhibit what we term ghosts, or dead/recovered areas, enabling users to visually identify which areas were recovered.
Fair Value Gaps can be presented alongside significant candles as both denote imbalances in the chart. Nonetheless, we recommend deactivating the Fair Value Gaps feature when showing numerous liquidation levels, allowing for the representation of data across a broader price range. Moreover, it's crucial to recognize that enabling Fair Value Gaps can influence calculations.
Documentation:
The indicator is accompanied by comprehensive documentation detailing all its options for user reference. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive instructional video.
Limitations:
A. The indicator can only showcase a limited amount of areas, so if many liquidation levels are displayed, the price range that can be shown becomes more narrow.
B. Analogous to point (A), activating the Fair Value Gaps Feature also constricts the price range of identified areas.
Recommendation:
If you wish to display more data, employ the indicator multiple times with varying settings. Also, use the 'Hide Normal Vectors' option on all but one indicator so the 'Normal' areas don't overlap.
If you experience frequent timeouts, reduce the 'Maximum Vector Zones' setting (We've found that 350 works adequately).
Liquidity Spike PoolThe “Liquidity Pools” indicator is a tool for market analysts that stands out for its ability to clearly project the intricate zones of manipulation present in financial markets. These crucial territories emerge when supply or demand takes over, resulting in long shadows (wicks) on the chart candles. Imagine these regions as "magnets" for prices, as they represent authentic "liquidity pools" where the flow of money into the market is significantly concentrated. But the value of the indicator goes beyond this simple visualization: these zones, when identified and interpreted correctly, can play a crucial role for traders looking for profitable entry points. They can mutate into important bastions of support or resistance, providing traders with key anchor points to make informed decisions within their trading strategies.
A key aspect to consider is the importance of different time frames in analyzing markets. Larger time frames, such as daily or 4h, tend to host larger and more relevant liquidity zones. Therefore, a successful strategy might involve identifying these areas of manipulation over longer time frames through the use of this indicator, and then applying these findings to shorter time frames. This approach allows you to turn manipulation zones into crucial reference points that merit constant surveillance while making trading decisions on shorter time frames.
The indicator uses color to convey information clearly and effectively:
- Dark blue lines highlight candles with significant upper wick, signaling the possible presence of an important manipulation area in the considered area.
- Dark red lines are reserved for sizable candlesticks with significant upper wick, emphasizing situations that are particularly relevant to traders.
- Dark gray lines highlight candles with significant lower wick, providing a valuable indication of manipulation zones where the bid may have prevailed.
- White lines highlight sizable candlesticks with significant lower wick, clearly indicating situations where demand has been predominant and may have helped form a liquidity pool.
This indicator constitutes an important resource for identifying and clearly displaying candles with significant wicks, allowing traders to distinguish between ordinary market conditions and circumstances particularly relevant to their trading strategies. Thanks to the distinctive colors of the lines, the indicator offers intuitive visual guidance, allowing traders to make more informed decisions while carrying out their analyses.

Liquidation Levels V2 (Ultimate Edition)!(version 2.0) - Covers ALL pairs from Binance futures (USDT)!
The Liquidations Level Indicator is a new, fresh and innovative indicator that adds a new perspective into the charts.
The indicator plots (in real time !), the liquidation points/levels that are "created" for every new position that is currently opened in futures trading of a cryptocurrency.
The calculation and the plots work for both directions (either longs or shorts).
How it is done: We calculate all new large positions opened by other traders, by taking into account the Open Interest from major exchanges.
For each new large position that is opened, the indicator plots in the chart the liquidation levels for the specific position per leverage level (100x, 50x or 25x).
This is exactly what the Market Maker knows!
In crypto, the Market Maker, tends to push the price to these levels, making these levels targets.
You could combined it with any other Technical Analysis indicator you used to trade.
Add it to your favorites indicators and enjoy the price action. You will soon realize that our indicator can be a game-changer indicator !
Soon, we will add some here in TradingView, some ideas and strategies that we have already used with this indicator with success.
Here, a new game starts for you..and the Market Maker. Don't trade against him, trade with him (!)
_____________________________
Notes:
_____________________________
1) Second version supports allt the USDT crypto that are tradable on Binance futures (at least).
Right now you can use any of them (e.g. BTC , ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, SOL, DOT, DOGE, MATIC, LTC, ATOM, , etc. )
paired with one of the above stablecoins:
USD, USDT, USDC , or BUSD.
2) You can adjust the lower limit to take into account for new positions (total amount is in millions USD/USDT/ USDC ), so you can filter the positions and display only the large ones.
This adjustment is up to you and it is different for each coin, as they have huge differences in Total Market Cap and the Total amount trading per day.
BTC is almost always first, and then ETH, Luna, etc. From our experience a amount of 5m in USD fits for BTC , 2m USD for ETH, and you can of course switch it.
3) Don't use the indicator with any other pair, except the above ( /USD, /USDT, /BUSD or / USDC ). The Open Interest is calculated per USD, so if you project this over a crazy pair (e.g. BTC /LTC) it will not project anything.
4) Initial version supports reading the Open Interest from Binance. Upcoming versions will expand this, as an option.

Accumulation Manipulation PO3 and MMXMMuch is said about the market maker or manipulation of price, but there aren't many indicators that try to show this, until now.
Using an easily customisable, but intelligent algorithm, this indicator tries to find and highlight when price is 'ranging', or 'accumulating'. It does this by looking at changes in price and quantifying the strength of the change, based on current and historical changes, and can therfore decide if price is staying in range or breaking out. By showing this on the chart several approaches can be taken.
Simply, you can trade within the range, and also trade breakouts of the range, knowing that price will react at these range 'levels'.
Alternatively, you can use the accumulation boxes to try and identify MMXM models, that is Market Maker Buy and Market Maker Sell Models, where price moves in phases of consolidation, smart money reversal and re-accumulation.
Finally, using the manipulation detection option, you can try to identify when a sudden change in price is actually manipulation by institutions, and plan to trade the distribution phase accordingly. This accumulation, manipulation, distribution is also known as Power of 3, PO3.
This indicator does not try to teach any of these ideas, only help to visualise them on the chart, and as such should not be considered financial advice.

08:30 – New York Open (News events come out)
12:00/13:00 - New York Lunch (No trade time period)
13:30 - (Algorithm)
16:30 - Close
* The open, high and low lines are plotted from 00:00 to 08:30
How To Use:
You will need to check the daily bias. Prior to 8:30 you are to look for previous swing points where liquidity may exist. During the open you want to see if a high or low is taken out, and then wait for an energetic break/displacement for a potential FVG/imbalance retracement entry.
Strategy is for LTF (1 to 15m)
Default time zone is set to America/New_York (UTC New York), so lines will be plotted correctly regardless of user’s local UTC chart setting.
Daily and Weekly Sweep - LiquidityDaily and Weekly Sweep – Liquidity
Description:
The script is designed to illustrate the sweeps of the high and low of the previous day and week. The larger the ratio of shares traded to the percentage price change, the more deep and liquid the market is presumed to be, therefore the market maker always seeks liquidity. Liquidity rests above previous highs and below previous lows as many traders see these as obvious points to place their stops. These are areas on the chart where many orders are placed together and serve as tipping points for market makers. The script focuses on the previous day and week. We can assume these are potential areas for mitigation.
How to use:
The indicator plots the highs and lows of the previous day and week. On default, it also shows the high and low price for the first 8 hours of the opening day of the week. Users can customise this in settings. The weekly open is also plotted. The background changes colour once a daily/weekly high or low has been breached and stops at the extreme point of price. These areas may provide points of interest in the future.
A good understanding of supply and demand, order blocks, market structure, and how to identify fresh levels is expected to utilise it's full potential.
Alert function added for:
- Daily Sweep
- Weekly Sweep
Indicator in use:
Market Maker Session TimesThis indicator is design to mark out the session times for the Market Maker Method. All times are on NY time however you do not need to change your personal timezone.
The colours are also changeable, here's what the standard version are:
Asia Session - Green
UK Session - Yellow
US Session - Red
Dead Zone - Grey
EMA ExtendedThe general idea behind the indicator is that when price is extended away from an EMA (usually the 50 EMA for the Market Maker strategy), it usually comes back to it. When monitoring many assets or cryptocurrencies, this indicator (with Alerts) provides ease of mind to spot such opportunities across the board.
This indicator uses an EMA and the current price (candle's High and Low) to signal 'Long' or 'Short' when price is extended away from the EMA with a specific ratio. The signal is in the form of an arrow that appears above the candle to be Shorted, or below the candle to be Longed. Those signals are also exported to the Alerts system so you can choose to trigger alerts (preferably "Once Per Bar").
All features are configurable from the indicator's settings.
Example: 'Long' signal if price is extended 0.78% below the 50 EMA , or 'Short' signal if price is extended 5.2% above the 50 EMA .
I plan to expand on this indicator to support MAs, as well as the potential to include multi-conditions (AND/OR) of two different EMAs/MAs (eg. 'Short' signal if price is 8% above 50 EMA and 20% above 200 MA).

we are proud to publish the Market Maker Volatility Diameter V2!
Our goal with this indicator is to provide an All-in-one indicator, combining some special tools of open source scripts as well as some of our own developments and the algorithm of our MMVD V1.
We will create a video series very soon, where we will explain each aspect of the tool, your options and of course our trading strategies with this indicator.
You have the following technical tools and information combined in this indicator, which can each be shown and hidden:
- Psychological Ranges (Weekly Opening High/ Low for Crypto and Forex)
- Market Maker Sessions (Sydney, Asia, London, NY)
- Trade Cloud (algorithm developed by Hawkeye Charting)
- Fibonacci Cloud (inspired by watching paid offerings, coded by Hawkeye Charting)

We hope especially for people, who can not afford the Pro offering from TradingView, to give access to a good indicator, which includes many tools and alerts.
Our goal is to lower the barriers for new entrants and of course to protect people, to pay for indicators, which are completely insane priced.
Only, that you get an idea: the whole indicator has only cost me about 100 h of work (for a single person!), and I'm no Pine script expert, so don't get fooled when someone offers you insane amounts for an indicator...
There is no holy grail. Each indicator works only with calculations on previous data.
We appreciate seeing that you guys like this work, so please leave a like and a follow and share this indicator.

Market Maker Indicator V2 [tecnocrypto]This indicator is based on the idea that prices are generated by the interaction between a Market Maker on one side (sometimes also called the "Composite Man") and Retail Traders on the other side (Retail Traders include simple retail, professional traders, whales, institutions...as a single entity). These two opposite entities "play" the trading game on trading platforms/exchanges (crypto), which are neutral to the game.
Market makers are liquidity providers, and make profits either by charging a spread between buy and sell prices, and (also) by trapping retail traders into specific positions.
Trading is a "zero sum" game in the sense that it generates a transfer of resources between these two specific players, which are indeed the Market Maker and Retail Traders. If Retail Traders are in profit, Market Maker is (temporarily) in loss, and viceversa. Market Maker goal is to squeeze profits out of Retail Traders, by inducing them to take wrong positions.
The Market Maker Method Indicator executes the following:
1) Identifies and plots candles that are generated by the Market Maker's moves (called "Shift Candles"); shift candles are "artificial" price/volumes moves, generated to induce retail traders into specific zones which are, essentially, traps. They are called Shift Candles as they generate abnormal (and mostly unexpected) price movements in either direction. They move the price from one zone to the next to execute the Market Maker strategy. Observe how often sudden (apparent) prices increases are followed by price crashes (stop hunt rise, drop); and observe how often sudden (apparent) price collapses are followed by price uptrends (stop hunt low, rise); sometimes these movements are made in progressive steps (generally, 3).
2) Plots open long/open short alerts based on the assumption that when Market Maker plots upwards shift candles, vivid green color, they are preparing for an upcoming price reversal (down); same, but opposite sign, for downwards shift candles. This is a counterintuitive logic for Retail Traders, that generally open long when price is rising, and open shorts when price is falling - jumping into Market Makers traps.
3) Plots the areas where price is expected to return (upwards or downwards) based on previous shift candles (called "Recovery Zones")
You can use this indicator on any timeframe and for any asset.
The Market Maker indicator V2 provides long / short entry signals based upon the market maker manipulative moves described above.
Long alerts are triggered by manipulative price push-downs by the marker maker, which will be followed by price increases (while price was decreasing, market maker was purchasing from retail). Additional factors are taken into consideration to plot long entry signals, , mainly volume build up and mean reversion, around this basic concept.
Short alerts are triggered by manipulative price push-ups by the marker maker, which will be followed by price drops (while price was increasing, market maker was selling to retail). Additional factors are taken into consideration to plot short entry signals, mainly volume build up and mean reversion, around this basic concept.
The indicator is based on the Traders Reality indicator, but improved with alerts, that can be used with trading bots, and additional possibilities to customize the behavior of the indicator.
A strategy associated with this indicator is also available.
Best results on the 1H timeframe.

[DisDev] Level by LevelThis indicator's main objective is to provide you with the ability to chose the levels you are interested in , with the added functions of:
Level-by-Level Chart Reducer – This allows you to choose how many levels are above and below the current closing price to display.
Level-by-Level Table – This allows you to display all the levels within a table onto the chart.
The basis of this indicator is to provide you with a toolbox of levels that you can add to your trading plans.
Psychological Levels
A weekly range established each Saturday evening that can be thought of as a weekly "IB" or initial balance.
Average Daily Range ("ADR") & Average Weekly Range ("AWR")
In Forex, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") controls the allowable weekly swings of a currency's price. The "AWR" and "ADR" perform calculations and dynamically adjust until the range is exceeded, at which time the levels will lock into place for the remainder of the day or week. The accepted theory is that price (even in Stocks and Crypto) will adhere to and remain within these levels, and, if exceeded, will revert back to them.
Initial Balance ("IB")
In Crypto trading, it is generally accepted that the High and Low of the first hour of each day (00:00 - 01:00 UTC) is the Initial Balance . The IB generally thought of as a zone that sets the tone for the rest of the trading session. It is often a time of high volume and volatility, with Stop Hunts at the highs and lows of a range before price moves in one direction or the other. The IB is a Market Profile concept introduced by Peter Steidlmayer. There is plenty of information on the Internet to learn more about IB's and how to implement them -- please do your own research.
Daily Open
Since Crypto is traded 24 hours per day, the generally accepted open is 00:00 UTC, the Tokyo open. Please refer to Part 1 for more details on sessions, starting times, conversions, and Daylight Savings Time.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP's)
VWAPs are important areas on a chart. Institutional traders generally do not want to move price too far as they enter large buy or sell orders. So they wait for price to reach a tight zone around the VWAP where the majority of transactions occur on the Daily, Weekly, or Monthly timeframes. In these areas, there will be plenty of supply and demand for the institutional trader to execute their trades.
Weekly Open
The weekly open is Monday at 00:00 UTC.
Pivot Points (Support & Resistance)
This indicator calculates pivot levels based on a tested formula that calculates past and subsequent bars or candles. It displays the two closest to price pivot levels. The pivot formula takes a window of left bars and right bars, and then finds the highest or lowest value in that window. The window marches across the bar-set to discover the pivots.
We coded the script to label the levels and colors dynamically, either Support (Green) or Resistance (Red), depending on whether they are above or below price. The primary level line stays with the same color scheme:
Blue = Daily / Yellow = Weekly / Violet = Monthly
As price crosses the level:
1 - The label will switch from Support to Resistance and Resistance to Support
2 - The extender line will switch from Green to Red and Red to Green
3 - The same changes will take place in the Level-by-Level Coordinates Table
A Note on Levels and Data
Understanding How Data is Calculated and Presented
Calculating levels requires going back in time through a symbol or asset’s historical data. Time is measured by bars (candles), so depending on the chart's resolution (timeframe or TF) you are viewing, a different number of bars would be required to measure the same level.
For example, if we want to mark the Daily High and Low on the daily TF, we would be measuring 1 bar or candle. If we drop down to the 1-hour TF, we would need to measure 24 bars. For the 15-Minute TF it would be 96 bars (1hr/15min=4 bars per/hour and 4 x 24 = 96), and on the 1-Min TF, it requires 1,440 bars (1hr=60 Min and 6 x 24 = 1,440).
Hopefully, you get the idea and can see that the number of bars required increases exponentially as we move to weekly, monthly, and yearly levels.
TradingView Data
Please note this statement from TradingView's website:
"The length of historical data for any intraday interval (i.e. chart timeframe) is 5,000 bars/candles (for Pro and Pro+ account holders it is doubled to 10,000 bars/candles and for Premium holders it's quadrupled to 20,000) + additionally several bars/candles back to the beginning of the week, month or year (depending on the resolution). Unfortunately, this limit cannot be extended for now due to technical reasons. At lower resolutions (<30Min) Yearly and Monthly VWAPs may not show, but to overcome this issue the “Plot Save” function has been added to the settings to allow the user to manually input these levels. This concept is the same for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly pivots.
If you change the chart interval to daily or daily-based, you will see a longer date range. We display all available data for daily-based intervals."
How we Handled Data Limitations
The Plot Level Feature in the Level by Level Indicator
We have written this script to always show levels at the lowest time frame allowable by TradingView.
If you do not see specific Support or Resistance levels, switch to a higher time frame, enter the corresponding values in the provided fields on the input panel, and check the Plot box. This will hard code the level in and will print on any TF. Additionally, we coded it so that when the Plot feature is enacted, the calculated level will be disabled so that there are no overlaps of two levels being printed.
Legend
The logic behind the line styles:
Solid = Static or established
Dashed = Static but previous week or day
Dotted = Dynamic or still developing -- will turn solid once the values are locked in
*VWAPs would technically be a dotted line since they are fluid, however, TV does not handle the dots or dashes of a curved line well so we chose to keep this solid
Level-by-Level Table
We designed this table to provide the user with a view of the levels in the correct price sequence on the chart at all times since, depending on the resolution and zoom levels, it would typically not be possible. The levels are equidistant and do not align with the actual price.
The current price will move vertically through the table according to the actual price and its relative position to the other various levels. The levels will change price and line styles dynamically as well.
The current price rectangle and the border can be in sync with High Volume Candle colors to draw more attention to the chart during climatic volume events.
Settings & Options - Levels & Labels
Levels will show a faint line through price to the point of origin.
Labels will show a brighter line extended to the right of price.
The values (10, 20, 30) are the length of the extensions; they are staggered to avoid overlaps.
Settings & Options - Level Reducer
The Level Reducer gives you the ability to declutter your chart, but still have the indicator track all the selected levels.
With four Lines selected, for example, the indicator will give you the nearest four lines above price and the nearest four below price. The Table runs independently of the chart, so if you want to see eight levels as an example, the Table will show eight above and eight below price.
As the current price changes, the lines will dynamically change accordingly.
Makuchaku's trading tools - Liquidity visualizerThis indicator plots those pivots/fractals which have not been taken out by price, whereby showing where are the clusters of highs/lows where stop orders (or liquidity) could be hiding.
This is a fantastic tool for taking reversal trades.
MarketMaker Method [ShiftCandles]This indicator is based on the idea that prices are generated by the interaction between a Market Maker on one side (sometimes also called the "Composite Man") and Retail Traders on the other side (Retail Traders include simple retail, professional traders, whales, institutions...as a single entity).
These two opposite entities "play" the trading game on trading platforms/exchanges (crypto), which are neutral to the game.
Market makers are liquidity providers, and make profits either by charging a spread between buy and sell prices, and (also) by trapping retail traders into specific positions.

3) Plots the areas where price is expected to return (upwards or downwards) based on previous shift candles (called "Recovery Zones")
The script will be further developed to prevent early open long/open short alerts, trying to catch the Market Makers cycles in a more detailed way (to account for situations where artificial price moves are executed in consecutive steps, instead of single candles).
You can use this indicator on any timeframe and for any asset.
You can connect the open long/open short alerts to trading bots to execute automatic trades.
[DisDev] Market Maker | Sessions | Initial Balance | Range StatsThis indicator has two main components: Time-Specific Sessions and High/Low Statistics . There are also several subcomponents: Day of Week Separators, Specific Session High/Low Extenders, Day Range Statistics, Week Range Statistics, User Input Session Titles, etc.
Each component is explained and demonstrated how it could be utilized as a trading tool.
The basis of this indicator is to analyze session-specific price movements through automatic display and statistics.
Key:
Dotted lines = Developing Session
Solid Line = Session complete
Dashed lines = Past Session
1) The primary function is the five manual time-session inputs. These sessions could be based on a full market period, such as London Open to Close (0800 UTC to 1630 UTC), the Initial Balance of the day (0000 UTC to 0100 UTC), or a session Initial Balance New York (1430 UTC to 1530 UTC). The user can update settings input text to reflect this on the chart.
The following shows the example noted above, with the added subcomponents of:
• Shaded areas to define each session
• Extension of the Sessions highs and lows (extension 24/48/72-hour options)
• Future line projection (provides a reminder of when the market opens)
This allows you to see potential levels of resistance and support and market open volatility.
The below example shows the input sessions configured for five Session Initial Balances. You can see that the Sessions Initial Balances were in a tight price range. A range breakout occurred with price move of $1400 visualized.
2) The secondary function is the Range statistics. Range statistics can be used to track the volatility of each session, day or week and can be selected for up to 31 days. This helps the user to determine overbought or oversold conditions as well as pattern recognition.
Trade Example 1
Settings: New York Session Open to Session Close.
The colored boxes are manually drawn to emphasize how the New York Lows and Highs can act as a confluence for support and resistance areas.
Trade Example 2a
Settings: London Session Open to Session Close and New York Session Open to Session Close.
This chart shows how the Session Open (in this case, the New York Open) reminder notifies you that there could be volatility when a new session opens.
Trade Example 2b
Notice how price breaks to the upside at the opening of the New York session. In this instance it was a $2,250 or 5.17% increase in the opening hour.
3. Once London closes New York has control of the market; one push-up stops out the shorts that placed stop losses at the London high, then brings price back down to the mean.
By having the reminder lines and shaded sessions, the user is prepared and can anticipate some price reaction, often a reversal if price has been steadily moving in one direction.
[DisDev] Market Maker - High Volume RecoveryThis indicator has many components; below, each component is explained and how it can be used as a trading tool.
The indicator analyzes past volume movements, allowing you to visualize selected volume percentages above and below candles and to visualize live recovery of High-Volume Candles.
1) The High-Volume Candles project to the current time to show how much of the High-Volume Candle has been recovered and how much remains unrecovered.
a. The indicator can be customized to a user-defined volume percentage; this allows you to focus on candles with volume over a given percentage (e.g., 500%.)
b. You can customize the candle colors and volume percentage thresholds.
2) You can select the option to display percentages above the candles, allowing you to research and back-test theories.
a. For example, the chart below shows High-Volume Candles above 500%. Throughout 2021, 92% of the 500%-plus candles have been recovered, leaving only four high volume zones yet to be recovered, one below and three above the current price.
For a further breakdown of the statistics click on the below chart image.
3) There is also the option to show the volume percentage within the unrecovered High-Volume Zone.
a. This allows you to instantly assess how strong the price movement was of that particular High-Volume Zone.
4) Lookback periods can also be adjusted to fine-tune the indicator.
Below is the indicator in full operation.
DISCLAIMER
When pressing the play button in the chart above it does not display the recovery. A TV "HOW TO" idea will be published soon, to demonstrate the indicator in full action or for more info please read "Author's instructions".
[DisDev] Market Maker | Technical Time AnalysisThis indicator has three main components: Days of Week Separators , User-Customized Reminder Notes , and Projected Lines . Each component is explained and demonstrated how it could be used as a trading tool.
The basis of this indicator is to analyze past price movements and then project them as a reminder for traders that previously, at that particular time, there was a price increase/decrease.
1) Vertical lines and labels separate days of the week.
a. The vertical lines allow you to quickly see what day of the week the price movement occurred. For example, if a notable price move happens on Monday, you can use the “Reminder Notes” input to enter a note directly on the chart, as explained below.
b. You can select different colors and styles for the lines or background.
2) Vertical lines can be customized to be displayed in the past and future.
a. This allows you to select a specific time when price has increased/decreased, see how often this has occurred, then notate it as a reminder in the future.
3) User-customized reminder notes for future projected lines.
a. This allows you to input notes to be displayed with the future projected lines.
b. Example: You notice that at 06:45, there had previously been significant price action. Your notes can be updated directly on the chart to remind you of them just before 06:45 on the following days.
Below is the indicator in full use.
You can adjust each line's style, width, color, and reminder notes.
