SemaforThis is the 4 Level Semafor indicator with Daily Open Line and Average Session Range. Also on the chart is the EMA Ribbon indicator.
Credit to:
Devlucem for the Semafor indicator
Quantvue for the Average Session Range
Shusterivi for the Daily Open Line
MYNAMEISBRANDON for the EMA Ribbon
The Semafors are based on the ZigZag indicator and show higher highs/lower lows of a specified period, determined by the user and applied in settings.
The default periods I use are:
10 period (hidden on this chart)
50 period-blue dots
250 period-white dots
615 period-black dots
Just as the ZigZag indicator will recalculate so to will the semafors, as additional candles are built. The semafor indicator is never to be used as a stand alone signal. It must be combined with other indicators to be used effectively. What we look for are the semafor patterns of a large white dot followed by a 1st blue dot opposite of the white. Then a 2nd blue dot in agreement with the white dot. In theory, the 2nd blue dot is seen as confirmation of the establishment of the white semafor..
When combined with Daily Open Line, ADR (Average Sessions Range), EMA cross and VWAP anchored to your 250 semafors, your odds are greatly increased. Add to that the knowledge of basic market structure and the wisdom that comes from patience and you have a very powerful weapon.
The Daily Open...I trade the M1 chart and also draw a H4 Open Line on my chart for the smaller time frames. Price will tend to trade away from the Daily Open Line. In many cases until it reaches certain levels...Fib, Gann, ADR, etc., then runs through a pullback cycle. I like the ADR levels. The ADR can give clues when entering a consolidation phase, ie trading between the buy side and sell side 15% levels. Trading away from the Daily Open(or H4 open) along with breaking the 15% level, while in agreement with a semafor pattern is a good sign.
Add to that confluence the agreement of your MA cross and the 250 semafor Anchored VWAP and you have a solid signal to help determine your actions. This trend following layout will work on any time frame. I just really like the M1 for its precision, not for crazy back and forth all day. With the exception of some strong pull back signals, I don't enter any more trades on the M1 than on M5, 15 or 30.
This is based on and follows the teachings of Xard and his trading strategy. Just as I don't want to take anyone's credit for these indicators, I won't take credit for what I have been taught either.
The trader can obviously use their favorite MA cross indicator. But this one is visually beautiful AND displays the current time frame and 1 time frame higher on the chart...awesome!
Of note, I do run into trouble at times with the 615 period semafor. I have been told it is because TradingView has trouble with extended period indicators. As a matter of fact, I would like a much higher period for my biggest semafor. I would like it set at 1250, but that seems to be a no starter. If anyone has a solution, that would be welcomed news.

On Balance VolumeThe traditional OBV (On-Balance Volume) indicator line chart has been replaced with a candlestick-based OBV chart, offering a more granular and visually comprehensive approach to volume-price analysis. This transformation allows traders to analyze OBV fluctuations in the form of candlestick patterns, making it easier to identify critical price action signals such as support and resistance levels, breakouts, and breakdowns.
By integrating OBV candlesticks with the price chart, traders can better assess volume accumulation and distribution phases, detect divergences, and confirm trend strength. This enhanced visualization helps in identifying momentum shifts, liquidity imbalances, and institutional activity with greater accuracy. The OBV candlestick chart provides a deeper layer of market structure analysis, allowing price action traders to refine their strategies and improve trade execution based on real-time volume dynamics."
Pso Volume Profile # Volume Profile with Dynamic Support and Resistance
## Overview
This Pine Script indicator for TradingView creates a comprehensive volume profile display with automatic support and resistance levels based on significant volume nodes. The indicator analyzes price action and volume data to identify key levels where trading activity has been concentrated, helping traders identify potential reversal or continuation zones.
## Key Features
### Volume Profile Analysis
- Displays a horizontal volume profile on the right side of the chart
- Divides volume into bid (buying) and ask (selling) components
- Color-codes bid and ask volumes differently for easy identification
- Customizable profile width, opacity, and placement
### Dynamic Support and Resistance Detection
- Automatically identifies significant price levels based on volume concentration
- Uses an adjustable percentile threshold to filter for the most important levels
- Color-codes support/resistance lines based on bid/ask dominance:
- Red lines: Bid-dominant levels (more buying pressure)
- Green lines: Ask-dominant levels (more selling pressure)
- Extends lines across the chart for clear visualization
### Customization Options
- Adjustable lookback period for volume analysis
- Configurable number of price divisions (bars)
- User-selectable volume percentile threshold (50-100%)
- Customizable colors for all elements
- Adjustable line length and position
## How It Works
1. The indicator divides the price range into a specified number of horizontal zones
2. It analyzes historical price and volume data within the lookback period
3. For each price zone, it calculates the total volume and separates bid/ask components
4. It identifies zones with volume exceeding the user-defined percentile threshold
5. It draws color-coded horizontal lines at these significant levels, extending across the chart
6. Lines are colored based on whether buying or selling was dominant at each level
## Usage Guidelines
- Higher percentile values (80-95%) will show fewer, but more significant levels
- Lower values (50-70%) will show more potential support/resistance zones
- Red lines often represent potential support levels (buyer-dominated)
- Green lines often represent potential resistance levels (seller-dominated)
- Areas where multiple lines cluster indicate highly significant zones
## Applications
- Identifying key price levels for entry and exit points
- Recognizing potential reversal zones
- Setting strategic stop-loss and take-profit levels
- Confirming support/resistance levels from other technical analysis methods
- Understanding the volume distribution and market structure
This indicator combines volume profile analysis with automatic support/resistance detection, providing traders with a powerful tool to identify significant price levels based on actual trading activity rather than just price patterns.

Normalized ROC²Normalized Rate of Change of Rate of Change (ROC²) Histogram
Overview
The Normalized ROC² Histogram is a momentum-based indicator designed to detect potential trend reversals by measuring the rate of change of the rate of change of price (the second derivative of price movement). This provides insight into when momentum is slowing down, signaling that a price reversal may be approaching.
The indicator also dynamically changes color to highlight shifts in momentum strength, allowing traders to visualize when price acceleration is increasing or decreasing.
How It Works
🔹 Zero Line Crossovers → Potential Direction Change
• When the histogram approaches zero and crosses over, it suggests that price momentum is shifting and a reversal may be imminent.
• Positive to Negative Crossover: Bearish momentum shift.
• Negative to Positive Crossover: Bullish momentum shift.
🔹 Momentum Strength Visualization → Color Shift
• Dark Blue (⬆️ Increasing Positive Momentum) → Price is accelerating upward.
• Light Blue (🔽 Decreasing Positive Momentum) → Uptrend is weakening.
• Dark Red (⬇️ Increasing Negative Momentum) → Price is accelerating downward.
• Light Red (🔼 Decreasing Negative Momentum) → Downtrend is weakening.
🔹 Normalization for Cleaner Visualization
• Prevents extreme volatility spikes from distorting the histogram.
• Normalizes values on a 0 to 100 scale, ensuring consistent bar height.
How to Use It
✅ Watch for Crossovers Near Zero → These can indicate a trend reversal is forming.
✅ Observe Color Changes → A shift from dark to light signals a deceleration, which often precedes price turning points.
✅ Combine with Other Indicators → Works well with Volume Profile, Moving Averages, and Market Structure analysis.
Why This Indicator is Unique
🚀 Second-derivative momentum detection → Provides early insight into potential price shifts.
📊 Normalized bars prevent distortion → No more extreme spikes ruining the scale.
🎯 Color-coded visual cues → Instantly see when momentum is gaining or fading.
📌 Add the Normalized ROC² Histogram to your charts today to detect potential reversals and momentum shifts in real-time! 🚀
LRLR [TakingProphets]LRLR (Low Resistance Liquidity Run) Indicator
This indicator identifies potential liquidity runs in areas of low resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It specifically looks for a series of unmitigated swing highs in a downtrend that form without any bearish fair value gaps (FVGs) between them.
What is an LRLR?
- A Low Resistance Liquidity Run occurs when price creates a series of lower highs without any bearish fair value gaps in between
- The absence of bearish FVGs indicates there is no significant resistance in the area
- These formations often become targets for smart money to collect liquidity above the swing highs
How to Use the Indicator:
1. The indicator will draw a diagonal line connecting a series of qualifying swing highs
2. A small "LRLR" label appears to mark the pattern
3. These areas often become targets for future price moves, as they represent zones of accumulated liquidity with minimal resistance
Key Points:
- Minimum of 4 consecutive lower swing highs
- No bearish fair value gaps can exist between these swing highs
- The diagonal line helps visualize the liquidity run formation
- Can be used for trade planning and identifying potential reversal zones
Settings:
- Show Labels: Toggle the "LRLR" label visibility
- LRLR Line Color: Customize the appearance of the diagonal line
Best Practices:
1. Use in conjunction with other ICT concepts and market structure analysis
2. Pay attention to how price reacts when returning to these levels
3. Consider these areas as potential targets for smart money liquidity grabs
4. Most effective when used on higher timeframes (4H and above)
Note: This is an educational tool and should be used as part of a complete trading strategy, not in isolation.

4H CRT (1AM and 5AM)This TradingView script is designed to assist traders in implementing the "4-Hour Candle Ranges Theory Strategy (CRT)" by identifying key levels and setups based on the 1am and 4am (5am) 4-hour candles. This strategy is particularly effective for trading high-volatility assets such as Gold, EUR/USD, NAS100, US30, and S&P500, with US30 showing a notably high win rate. Here's how the strategy works:
Key Features:
1. Marking 1am and 4am 4-Hour Candle Ranges
- The script highlights the high and low of the 1am 4-hour candle.
- It visually tracks whether the high or low of the 1am candle is taken out by the subsequent 4-hour candle (5am).
2. Entry Setup Rules
- Primary Setup: Wait for the high or low of the 1am candle to be taken out by the 5am candle. Once this sweep occurs, wait for a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower time frame (15min) to confirm your entry.
- Secondary Setup: If the 5am candle fails to take out the high or low of the 1am candle, the setup focuses on the levels formed by the 5am candle.
3. Trade Execution on 15-Minute Timeframe
- The script supports a lower time frame (15min) view to identify MSS and fine-tune entries.
4. Rinse and Repeat
- This process can be applied daily for consistent opportunities across the specified assets.
Advantages:
- Provides clear visual markers for key levels based on the 4-hour candles.
- Automates level plotting, saving traders time and reducing manual errors.
- Integrates well with the 15-minute timeframe for precise entry triggers.
- Optimized for popular trading instruments, especially US30 for a higher probability of success.
This script simplifies the application of CRT by automating the process of identifying and marking critical levels, enabling traders to focus on executing high-probability setups effectively.

Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
Max The Minner: RSI Bands with Min/Max [by Oberlunar]This Pine Script, titled "Max The Minner: RSI Bands with Min/Max " is a technical indicator designed to visualize RSI-based dynamic bands with local minimum and maximum levels on a chosen timeframe. The script incorporates user-configurable parameters for RSI thresholds, resolution, and color settings, providing traders with a highly customizable tool for analyzing price behavior in relation to overbought and oversold conditions.
Core Functionality
The script begins by calculating the RSI (Relative Strength Index) using user-defined inputs for overbought and oversold levels, the RSI length, and the resolution (default set to daily). The RSI is computed through an exponential moving average (EMA) approach that smooths the upward and downward price movements, creating adaptive upper (ub) and lower (lb) bands based on the overbought and oversold thresholds.
These bands are then dynamically adjusted based on the current price (src) and the EMA calculations. The upper band (ub) represents a potential resistance zone aligned with the RSI overbought level, while the lower band (lb) represents a support zone aligned with the RSI oversold level. The script employs additional calculations to ensure the adaptive nature of these bands, depending on whether the RSI is pushing higher or lower relative to its thresholds.
Local Minima and Maxima
A key feature of the indicator is its ability to track and update local minima and maxima based on the chosen timeframe. The script uses a buffer system that refreshes these levels every three bars to smooth out noise and avoid excessive sensitivity to short-term fluctuations. These local extrema (localMin and localMax) are retrieved from the lower and upper prices of the selected timeframe and act as dynamic benchmarks for evaluating the RSI bands.
Conditional Logic
The script includes conditional logic to determine when the RSI bands intersect with or approach the local maxima or minima. For example:
The upper band (ub) is plotted only if it is below the local maximum, suggesting that price may encounter resistance.
Similarly, the lower band (lb) is plotted only if it is above the local minimum, indicating potential support.
This logic ensures that the bands are contextually relevant to the prevailing market structure, rather than being static overlays.
Visualization
The RSI bands and local extrema are plotted on the chart using color-coded lines, with transparency adjustable through user inputs. The upper band and local maximum are linked with a fill area, visually representing the resistance zone. Similarly, the lower band and local minimum are filled to highlight the support zone. These fills provide a clear depiction of price boundaries, making it easier for traders to spot key levels.
Additionally, the script marks breakout conditions. If the price exceeds the local maximum, a label is plotted at the breakout point with a distinctive style and color. Similarly, a breakout below the local minimum is labeled, providing a visual cue for significant price movements.
Customization
The script offers extensive customization options for both functionality and appearance:
Users can define the overbought and oversold levels for RSI, along with the RSI length and the resolution (timeframe).
Colors for the upper and lower bands, along with transparency (alpha) levels, can be adjusted, allowing for seamless integration with different chart styles.
The periodicity of the local minima and maxima updates is hardcoded to three bars but could be further parameterized for greater flexibility.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders who rely on RSI-based strategies and need a dynamic representation of overbought and oversold conditions in conjunction with local price extremes. By combining RSI bands with the context provided by local minima and maxima, it allows traders to:
Identify potential support and resistance levels.
Visualize price behavior relative to RSI thresholds.
Spot breakout opportunities when price exceeds predefined levels.
Fair Value Gap DetectorHow this indicator works:
It detects two types of FVGs:
Bullish FVG: Occurs when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle from 2 bars ago (creates an upward gap)
Bearish FVG: Occurs when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle from 2 bars ago (creates a downward gap)
Features:
Allows users to toggle both bullish and bearish FVG detection independently
Customizable colors for both bullish (default green) and bearish (default red) FVGs
Visualizes FVGs using:
Boxes that highlight the gap area (with 80% transparency)
Labels that mark each FVG ("Bull FVG" or "Bear FVG")
Visual representation:
Bullish FVGs are marked with green boxes and downward-pointing labels
Bearish FVGs are marked with red boxes and upward-pointing labels
This indicator can be useful for :
Identifying potential areas where price might return to
Finding potential support and resistance zones
Understanding market structure and momentum shifts
Pivot PointsPivot Points Indicator
The Pivot Points indicator highlights areas on the chart where candles close in opposite colors. These points occur when the price shifts from bullish to bearish, or vice versa, indicating potential reversals or continuation patterns. These points are more easily seen on a line chart and represent areas where the price changes direction to create peak formations.
Foundational Concepts
Before diving into the indicator, it’s important to understand a few key concepts:
When price is trending upward, it creates higher highs and higher lows. Each high or low acts as a pivot point. In an uptrend, the price is more likely to break the previous high (pivot point) and continue higher. You can enter a buy trade when the price breaks the previous high, anticipating the continuation of the trend.
When price is trending downward, it creates lower lows and lower highs. Each high or low is also a pivot point. In a downtrend, the price is more likely to break the previous low (pivot point) and continue lower. You can enter a sell trade when the price breaks the previous low, anticipating the continuation of the trend.
For reversal trades, it’s helpful to be familiar with chart patterns like double tops, double bottoms, and head and shoulders. The Pivot Points indicator can assist in identifying these patterns, helping you determine entry points, as well as where to place your stop loss.
Recommended Setup
It’s recommended to have two charts open side by side: one displaying a line chart and the other showing a candlestick chart, with the Pivot Points indicator applied to both. This setup allows you to easily identify the market structure and price action as it approaches these levels. You can also add a 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) to both charts to help identify the overall trend. Additionally, consider adding the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the line chart to confirm overbought or oversold conditions.
This approach can be used on any timeframe.

Dual Zigzag [Trendoscope®]🎲 Dual Zigzag indicator is built on recursive zigzag algorithm. It is very similar to other zigzag indicators published by us and other authors. However, the key point here is, the indicator draws zigzag on both price and any other plot based indicator on separate layouts.
Before we get into the indicator, here are some brief descriptions of the underlying concepts and key terminologies
🎯 Zigzag
Zigzag indicator breaks down price or any input series into a series of Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows alternating between each other. Zigzags though shows pivot high and lows, should not be used for buying at low and selling at high. The main application of zigzag indicator is for the visualisation of market structure and this can be used as basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithms.
🎯 Recursive Zigzag Algorithm
Recursive zigzag algorithm builds zigzag on multiple levels and each level of zigzag is based on the previous level pivots. The level zero zigzag is built on price. However, for level 1, instead of price level 0 zigzag pivots are used. Similarly for level 2, level 1 zigzag pivots are used as base.
🎲 Components Dual Zigzag Indicator
Here are the components of Dual zigzag indicator
Built in Oscillator - Indicator has built in oscillator options for plotting RSI (Relative Strength Index), MFI (Money Flow Index), cci (Commodity Channel Index) , CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator), COG (Center of Gravity), and ROC (Rate of Change). Apart from the given built in oscillators, users can also use a custom external output as base. The oscillators are not printed on the price pane. But, printed on a separate indicator overlay.
Zigzag On Oscillator - Recursive zigzag is calculated and printed on the oscillator series. Each pivot high and pivot low also prints a label having the retracement ratios, and price levels at those points. Zigzag on the oscillator is also printed on the indicator overlay pane.
Zigzag on Price - Recursive zigzag calculated based on price and printed on the price pane. This is made possible by using force_overlay option present in the drawing objects. At each zigzag pivot levels, the label having price retracement ratios, and oscillator values are printed.
It is called dual zigzag because, the indicator calculates the zigzag on both price and oscillator series of values and prints them separately on different panes on the chart.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Settings include
Theme display settings to get the right colour combination to match the background.
Zigzag settings to be used for zigzag calculation and display
Oscillator settings to chose the oscillator to be used as base for 2nd zigzag
🎲 Applications
Useful in spotting divergences with both indicator and price having their own zigzag to highlight pivots
Spotting patterns in indicators/oscillators and correlate them with the patterns on price
🎲 Using External Input
If users want to use an external indicator such as OBV instead of the built in oscillators, then can do so by using the custom option.
Here is how this can be done.
Step1. Add both Dual Zigzag and the intended indicator (in this case OBV) on the chart. Notice that both OBV and Dual zigzag appear on different panes.
Step2. Edit the indicator settings of Dual zigzag and set custom indicator by selecting "custom" as oscillator name and then by setting the custom external indicator name and input.
Step 3. You would notice that the zigzag in Dual Zigzag indictor pane is already showing the zigzag pivots based on the OBV indicator and the price pivots display obv values at the pivot points. We can leave this as is.
Step 4. As an additional step, you can also merge the OBV pane and the Dual zigzag indicator pane into one by going into OBV settings and moving the indicator to above pane. Merge the scales so that there is no two scales on the same pane and the entire scale appear on the right.
At the end, you should see two panes - one with price and other with OBV and both having their zigzag plotted.
Richs Market StructureThis Pine Script indicator, "Last Bullish High & Lowest Low Tracker with Timeframe Background and Fill", is designed to visually track bullish and bearish trends based on price action on the current chart and a user-defined timeframe. It provides dynamic line plotting, area fills, and background coloring to represent trend alignment between the current chart and the selected timeframe.
Features and Functionalities
Tracks Bullish Highs and Bearish Lows:
The script identifies:
Bullish High: The highest price reached after a bullish (green) candle.
Bearish Low: The lowest price reached after a bearish (red) candle.
It dynamically updates these levels based on the price movements.
Line Plotting:
Current Chart Lines:
The Plotted Bullish High line (green/red) indicates the last bullish high.
The Lowest Low line (green/red) indicates the last bearish low.
Selected Timeframe Lines:
A separate set of lines is plotted for the user-defined timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly):
A Bullish High Line for the selected timeframe (lighter green).
A Lowest Low Line for the selected timeframe (lighter red).
Dynamic Area Fills:
The area between the Plotted Bullish High and Lowest Low is filled:
Green Fill: When both lines are green (indicating a bullish alignment).
Red Fill: When both lines are red (indicating a bearish alignment).
For the selected timeframe:
The area between the timeframe-specific Bullish High and Lowest Low is similarly filled with lighter colors.
Background Color Based on Timeframe Alignment:
The background color represents the trend alignment on the selected timeframe:
Green Background: When the timeframe’s Bullish High is rising and Lowest Low is rising (bullish trend).
Red Background: When the timeframe’s Bullish High is falling and Lowest Low is falling (bearish trend).
What It’s For
This indicator is designed for traders who want to:
Visualize Trends Across Timeframes:
It helps identify when the current chart’s trend aligns with a higher timeframe trend (e.g., daily, weekly).
Useful for multi-timeframe analysis.
Spot Bullish and Bearish Trends:
The color-coded lines and fills clearly show the dominant trend on both the current chart and the selected timeframe.
Plan Trades Based on Trend Alignment:
When the current chart and selected timeframe show the same trend:
Both lines and fills turn green (bullish).
Both lines and fills turn red (bearish).
This alignment is a potential signal for entering long or short trades.
Identify Reversals and Divergences:
Divergence between the current chart and timeframe trends (e.g., green on one, red on the other) may indicate trend weakening or reversal.
Visual Elements
Lines:

Easy-to-interpret fills and background colors.
Clear bullish and bearish zones.
Multi-timeframe trend confirmation.
First 5 Minutes Open/Close LinesThis very simple indicator paints lines at the high and low of the first 5m candle of the session. It is primarily intended for big cap NYSE traded stocks with high volume. I wrote this indicator to save me the trouble of manually drawing the lines each day.
The lines drawn at the 5m high/low will remain constant regardless of which timeframe you switch to. In the example screenshot, we are looking at the 1m timeframe. This helps us switch effortlessly between different timeframes to see if a given price movement meets our entry criteria.
In addition to drawing lines at the first 5m high/low, it will optionally paint two zones, one each around the high and low. The boundaries of this zone are configurable and expressed as a percentage of the total movement of the first 5m bar. By default, it is set to 25%.
This indicator is based on the concept that the first 5m bar always has massive volume which helps us infer that price may react around the extremes of that movement. The basic strategy works something like this:
- You identify the high timeframe (HTF) trend direction of the stock
- You wait for the first 5m candle of the session to close
- You wait for price to puncture through the outer boundary of the zone marked by the indicator.
- You enter when price retraces to the high, or low, which marks the midpoint of the punctured zone.
- Only enter long on stocks in a HTF uptrend, and short on stocks in an HTF downtrend.
- Use market structure to identify stop loss and take profit targets
Note: Use at your own risk.

Inside Bar with Swing PointsSwing Points with Inside Bar
This script combines swing point analysis with an inside bar pattern visualization, merging essential concepts to identify and visualize key price levels and potential trend reversals. This is especially useful for traders looking to understand price action through swing levels and reactions within inside bar boundaries, making it effective for short-term trend analysis and reversal zone identification.
Script Features:
Swing Point Analysis:
The script identifies swing points based on fractals with a configurable number of bars, allowing for a choice between three and five bars, helping traders fine-tune sensitivity to price movements.
Swing points are visualized as labels, highlighting potential reversal or continuation zones in the price chart.
Inside Bar Visualization:
Inside bars are defined as bars where both the high and low are contained within the previous bar. These often signal consolidation before a potential breakout.
The script displays boundaries of the mother bar (the initial bar encompassing inside bars) and colors candles accordingly, highlighting those within these boundaries.
This feature helps traders focus on price areas where a breakout or trend shift may occur.
Utility and Application:
The script enables traders to visualize inside bars and swing points, which is particularly useful for short-term traders focused on reversal or trend continuation strategies.
Combining swing point analysis with inside bar identification offers a unique approach, helping traders locate key consolidation zones that may precede significant price moves.
This provides not only strong support and resistance levels but also insights into probable breakout points.
How to Use the Script:
Set the number of bars for swing point analysis (3 or 5) to adjust fractal sensitivity.

IPDA Standard Deviations [DexterLab x TFO x toodegrees]> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The IPDA Standard Deviations tool encompasses the Time and price relationship as studied by @TraderDext3r .
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Dexter's tweets, videos, and material.
This tool was born from a collaboration between @TraderDext3r, @tradeforopp and I, with the objective of bringing a comprehensive IPDA Standard Deviations tool to Tradingview.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Fractal IPDA Time Windows, and trace the potential Standard Deviations of the moves at their respective high and low extremes.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it allows traders to save Time by automatically adapting the Time Windows based on the current chart's Timeframe, as well as providing customizations to filter and focus on the appropriate Standard Deviations.
> IPDA Standard Deviations by TraderDext3r
The underlying idea is based on the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm's lookback windows on the daily chart as taught by the Inner Circle Trader:
IPDA looks at the past three months of price action to determine how to deliver price in the future.
Additionally, the ICT concept of projecting specific manipulation moves prior to large displacement upwards/downwards is used to navigate and interpret the priorly mentioned displacement move. We pay attention to specific Standard Deviations based on the current environment and overall narrative.
Dexter being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, harnessed the fractal nature of price to derive fractal IPDA Lookback Time Windows for lower Timeframes, and studied the behaviour of price at specific Deviations.
For Example:
The -1 to -2 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation.
The -2 to -2.5 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation, or a Smart Money Reversal.
The -4 area should be seen as the ultimate objective, or the level at which the displacement will slow down.
Given that these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, they are to be used hand in hand with all other ICT Concepts (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
> Fractal IPDA Time Windows
The IPDA Lookbacks Types identified by Dexter are as follows:
Monthly – 1D Chart: one widow per Month, highlighting the past three Months.
Weekly – 4H to 8H Chart: one window per Week, highlighting the past three Weeks.
Daily – 15m to 1H Chart: one window per Day, highlighting the past three Days.
Intraday – 1m to 5m Chart: one window per 4 Hours highlighting the past 12 Hours.
Inside these three respective Time Windows, the extreme High and Low will be identified, as well as the prior opposing short term market structure point. These represent the anchors for the Standard Deviation Projections.
> Tool Settings
The User is able to plot any type of Standard Deviation they want by inputting them in the settings, in their own line of the text box. They will always be plotted from the Time Windows extremes.
As previously mentioned, the User is also able to define their own Timeframe intervals for the respective IPDA Lookback Types. The specific Timeframes on which the different Lookback Types are plotted are edge-inclusive. In case of an overlap, the higher Timeframe Lookback will be prioritized.
Finally the User is able to filter and remove Standard Deviations in two ways:
"Remove Once Invalidated" will automatically delete a Deviation once its outer anchor extreme is traded through.
Manual Toggles will allow to remove the Upward or Downward Deviation of each Time Window at the discretion of the User.
Major shoutout to Dexter and TFO for their Time, it was a pleasure to collaborate and create this tool with them.
GLGT!
