Price Action Analyst [OmegaTools]Price Action Analyst (PAA) is an advanced trading tool designed to assist traders in identifying key price action structures such as order blocks, market structure shifts, liquidity grabs, and imbalances. With its fully customizable settings, the script offers both novice and experienced traders insights into potential market movements by visually highlighting premium/discount zones, breakout signals, and significant price levels.
This script utilizes complex logic to determine significant price action patterns and provides dynamic tools to spot strong market trends, liquidity pools, and imbalances across different timeframes. It also integrates an internal backtesting function to evaluate win rates based on price interactions with supply and demand zones.
The script combines multiple analysis techniques, including market structure shifts, order block detection, fair value gaps (FVG), and ICT bias detection, to provide a comprehensive and holistic market view.
Key Features:
Order Block Detection: Automatically detects order blocks based on price action and strength analysis, highlighting potential support/resistance zones.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks internal and external market structure changes with gradient color-coded visuals.
Liquidity Grabs & Breakouts: Detects potential liquidity grab and breakout areas with volume confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on historical price action and threshold calculations.
ICT Bias: Integrates ICT bias analysis, dynamically adjusting based on higher-timeframe analysis.
Supply and Demand Zones: Highlights supply and demand zones using customizable colors and thresholds, adjusting dynamically based on market conditions.
Trend Lines: Automatically draws trend lines based on significant price pivots, extending them dynamically over time.
Backtesting: Internal backtesting engine to calculate the win rate of signals generated within supply and demand zones.
Percentile-Based Pricing: Plots key percentile price levels to visualize premium, fair, and discount pricing zones.
High Customizability: Offers extensive user input options for adjusting zone detection, color schemes, and structure analysis.
User Guide:
Order Blocks: Order blocks are significant support or resistance zones where strong buyers or sellers previously entered the market. These zones are detected based on pivot points and engulfing price action. The strength of each block is determined by momentum, volume, and liquidity confirmations.
Demand Zones: Displayed in shades of blue based on their strength. The darker the color, the stronger the zone.
Supply Zones: Displayed in shades of red based on their strength. These zones highlight potential resistance areas.
The zones will dynamically extend as long as they remain valid. Users can set a maximum number of order blocks to be displayed.
Market Structure: Market structure is classified into internal and external shifts. A bullish or bearish market structure break (MSB) occurs when the price moves past a previous high or low. This script tracks these breaks and plots them using a gradient color scheme:
Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:
Load the script onto your chart. The default settings are optimized for identifying key price action zones and structure on intraday charts of liquid assets.
Customize the settings according to your strategy. For example, adjust the "Max Orderblocks" and "Strength Filter" to focus on more significant price action areas.
Monitor the liquidity grabs, breakouts, and FVGs for potential trade opportunities.
Use the bias and market structure analysis to align your trades with the prevailing market trend.
Refer to the backtesting win rates to evaluate the effectiveness of the zones in your trading.

IMGCore - V1.0IMG Core uses five sequential stages to analyse price action and alert users to potential Trade Setups using various Price Action Concepts as detailed below:
1. Identify Higher Timeframe Market Structure and Points of Interest (HTF-POIs)
2. Calculate position size based on your risk appetite, fees and account leverage and customisable maximum trade risk
3. Alert you to risk managed trade setups at enabled HTF-POIs
4. Alert you to trade exits based on your set criteria
5. Provide Additional Alerts such as Higher Timeframe SFPs and Market Structure Breaks that act as potential early warnings that a trade setup may be forming
1. HTF POIs Available with IMG CORE:
a. HTF Market Structure Range Highs and Lows
b. HTF Order Blocks
c. HTF Breakers
d. HTF FVGs
a. Higher Timeframe Market Structure Range High and Low through Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
b. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
c. Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
d. Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
2. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
a. Automated Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite (capital risk per trade) details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
b. Maximum Trade Risk:
IMG Core has the ability to invalidate potential trade entries if it exceeds your maximum Trade Risk threshold. Trade Risk is the % price difference between entry and stoploss.
When an invalid signal is generated, the signal will not be shaded and the interactive label will display the reason for invalidation
In the example below, Max Trade Risk is set to 2% , but the trade signal had a trade risk of 5.11% , invalidating the signal with a grey triangle
3. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG CORE:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
a. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
b. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Higher Timeframe (HTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
c. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
d. Multiple LTF Entry Options once a signal is confirmed
a. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: H12 SFPs at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
b. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at HTF POIs:
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an enabled Higher Timeframe POI (Order Blocks / Breakers / FVGs) followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are always in line current Market Structure bias.
Example: H12 SFPs and Trade Setups at HTF POIs with Fluid Exits on a H1 Chart:
c. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the LTF MSB Level OR LTF Breaker
Example:
d. LTF Entry Options:
IMG CORE provides the following options for LTF Entries:
i. Limit Entry at Lower Timeframe MSB Levels
ii. Limit Entry at Lower Timeframe Breakers
Based on this selection, the trade setup alert will provide entry price details to set limit orders at the MSB level or LTF Breaker High.
4. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG CORE:
The system provides the following options for trade exit alerts:
i. User defined Risk to Reward (R:R)
ii. On a confirmed Opposite Signal (Fluid Exits)
Example: H12 Long Entry and Exit Signal using Fluid Exits H1 Chart:
5. IMG CORE Alerts Overview
The system provides notifications of:
1. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
2. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
3. Confirmed HTF SFPs at HTF POIs
4. Potential Trade Setups at Range Extremes
5. Potential Trade Setups at HTF Points of Interest (HTF-LTF and LTF-LTF)
6. Fixed R Trade Exits
7. Exit on Opposing Signals (Fluid Exits)
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions; manage your risk wisely.
Stay safe and Happy Trading!
MTF Smart Money ConceptsOverview
This indicator displays major elements of Smart Money Concepts and price action trading with multi-timeframes(MTF) and layered market structures with color visualization.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts(SMC) is one of the methodologies to interpret how financial market moves and to analyze it and execute trades, focusing on liquidity and order flow of financial institutions.
Smart money means the funds invested by large financial institutions such as banks, institutional traders/investors, market makers, hedge funds etc. contrary to retail traders/investors' money.
It is important to note that there is no proof or evidence that those institutions move the market as described in Smart Money Concepts.
Personally speaking, it is one of the interpretation of the market and another angle to view the market just like other technical analysis methodologies such as Elliott Wave Principle, Gann Theory, Wyckoff Method and even traditional price action trading.
Importance of MTF Analysis
MTF analysis(a.k.a Topdown analysis) is the foundation to technically analyze charts and the most fundamental skill in trading because lower timeframes are always influenced by upper timeframes where large financial institutions operate.
How to use
This indicator is designed to help traders analyze how the market moves in terms of SMC and price action with multi-timeframes and color visualization of the market structures, which makes this indicator unique and different from other indicators.
There is two key settings that you can use based on your trading style.
1.Upper timeframe selection
You have two options to determine upper timeframe; Auto mode and Manual mode.
When Auto mode selected, upper timeframe will be determined based on chart timeframe as follows.
Chart timeframe => Upper timeframe
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
If you select Manual mode, you can fix an upper timeframe.
2.High/low settings
This affects all other settings of the indicator and most importantly designs the market structure.
This is the key setting to determine how you view the market as price action trading is all about highs and lows and story of how highs and lows have been created with the market structure.
You can specify left bars and right bars to identify swing highs/lows and these highs/lows become the basis to design the market structure and determine how SMC elements are displayed.
Example:
Left bar&right bar: 10
You can see bigger wave(magenta line) in the market structure(stepped line).
(Magenta line is a drawn object by manual)
Left bar&right bar: 4
With this setting, you can see smaller wave in the market structure.
Since market moves like wave as there is a lot of wave theories in financial investment/trading industry such as Elliott wave, Wolf wave etc., users can define market structure with this setting depending on what degree of wave they aim to trade.
Functions:
MTF Order Block
Concept
Order block is a block of orders where buying orders and selling orders are accumulated. Order blocks are created when the institutions move the market up and down, temporality placing orders in an opposite direction to the way they want to move, in order to match their own orders with counter-orders.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's order blocks and upper timeframe's order blocks(MTF).
You can also select from two options how to display order blocks;
1. Show all order blocks
2. Show strong order blocks only
Note: Strong order blocks mean order blocks created at strong highs/lows. See also strong high/low below.
Alerts can be set when prices reach strong order blocks.
MTF Fair Value Gap(FVG)/Imbalance
Concept
Fair Value Gap(FVG)(Imbalance) is a void generated among three consecutive candlesticks.
FVG(s) is created when the market moves so rapidly generating buy side or sell side order imbalances.
FVG(s) is characterized by price action that prices tend to come back to the area where FVG(s) exists, filling in the space among the candlesticks.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays both chart timeframe's FVG and upper timeframe's FVG.
MTF Liquidity Grab
Concept
Liquidity grab is price action to sweep liquidity for the institutions to move the market.
This price action often happens because the size of their orders is so huge and they need a bunch of counter-orders to match their orders. This is why prices sometimes come to areas where liquidity rest and swipe them before the market goes up/down.
Liquidity visualization
Where does liquidity rest?
The answer is above highs(buy side liquidity) and below lows(sell side liquidity).
Among all highs and lows, swing highs and lows are where liquidity is accumulated the most because swing highs and lows can be created only by the institutions, therefore massive liquidity is indicated.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays liquidity dots so that users can easily identify where liquidity rests and liquidity grab of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
Alerts can be set when liquidity grab happens.
MTF Strong High/Low
Concept
Strong high/low literally means strong highs and lows among all highs and lows including swing highs and lows.
There is a few different definitions of strong high/low in price action trading and the definition in this indicator is as follows.
Strong high
A high that that breaks higher low or lower low
Strong low
A low that breaks lower high or higher high
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays strong highs and lows of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe.
MTF Market Structure Visualization
Concept
Market structure is a series of price movement with highs and lows which outlines the way the market directs. It is a basis to see trend occurrence, trend reversal and sideways and analyzing the market structures in multi-timeframes is the most fundamental technical skill in trading/investment.
Visualization by the indicator
The indicator displays market structures of both a chart timeframe and an upper timeframe and provide color visualization depending on bullish and bearish market structures.
The definition of bullish and bearish market structure is as follows.
Bullish market structure
When a price breaks a Lower High or Higher High
Bearish market structure
When a price breaks a Higher Low or Lower Low
Settings
All the functions above, colors and line settings are parameterized and can be turned on/off depending on users’ needs.

概要
Smart Money Concepts(SMC)およびプライスアクショントレードにおける重要な要素をマルチタイムフレームで表示することのできるインジケーターです。
相場構造(Market structure)をマルチタイムフレームで表示し、相場構造の強弱を色で可視化することができます。
Smart Money Concepts(スマートマネーコンセプト)とは？
Smart Money Concepts(以下SMC) は金融市場がどのように動くかを解釈し、分析し、取引を執行するための相場理論の一つであり、Liquidity(リクイディティ)および機関投資家のオーダーフロー(注文の流れ)に焦点を置いていることが特徴です。
Smart Money(スマートマネー)とは、銀行や機関投資家、マーケットメーカー、ヘッジファンドといった金融機関が動かす資金を意味し、個人投資家の資金と対をなす概念です。
重要な点は、実際に上記の金融機関がSmart Money Conceptsで語られているような相場の動かし方をしているかどうかを証明する明確なエビデンスはないということです。
個人的には、エリオット波動理論やギャン理論、ワイコフ理論、伝統的なプライスアクショントレーディングの方法論と同様に、マーケットの動きを解釈するための一つの方法論であり、マーケットの動きを別の角度から見る枠組みと捉えています。
マルチタイムフレーム(MTF)分析の重要性
MTF分析はチャートをテクニカルに分析する上での基礎であり、トレードにおいて最も重要なスキルです。なぜなら下位のタイムフレームは上記のような金融機関が資金運用を行う上位のタイムフレームの影響を常に受けるためです。
使い方
このインジケーターは、SMCまたはプライスアクショントレードの観点から、トレーダーがマーケットをマルチタイムフレームで分析することを支援するために開発しています。
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)を方向性に応じて色で可視化することができるため、視覚的に相場の構造を判断できることがこのインジケータのユニークな点であり、他のインジケーターと異なる点です。
ユーザーのトレードスタイルに応じて、以下の二つの設定を行うことができます。
1.上位足の決定方法
ユーザーは上位足のタイムフレームを決定するにあたり、AutoモードとManualモードを選択することができます。
Autoモードを選択した場合、上位足はチャートのタイムフレームに応じて以下のように決定されます。
チャートタイムフレーム => 上位足タイムフレーム
1M=>15M
5M/15M=>1H
30M/1H=>4H
4H=>D
D=>W
W=>M
Manualモードを選択すると上位足のタイムフレームを固定することができます。
2.High/low(高値/安値) 設定
当設定はインジケーターの他の全ての機能に影響し、また最も重要である相場構造の定義に影響します。
当設定はユーザーがマーケットをどのように見るか(=どの程度の粒度)を決定する重要な設定です。なぜならプライスアクショントレードは、高値、安値とそれらが相場構造をどのように構築してきたかの一連の流れを分析することが全てだからです。
ユーザーは相場構造を決定付けるスイングハイ·スイングローを特定するためのバーの本数を設定することができます。ここで設定した内容が、相場構造を定義し、以下で説明するSMCの要素の表示を決定することになります。
例:
Left bar&right bar(左右のバーの数): 10
この場合、ステップラインで示した相場構造の中に大きな波(マゼンタの波)を見ることができます。
(マゼンタのラインは手動で描いたオブジェクト)
Left bar&right bar: 4
この設定では、上記に比べて小さい波を描いていることが確認できます。
相場理論の中にエリオット波動理論やウォルフ波動といった数多くの波動理論があることからわかるように、相場は波として動きます。どの粒度の波を狙うかというトレーダーのスタイルに応じて、設定を変更することができます。
機能
MTFオーダーブロック
コンセプト
オーダーブロックとは買い注文と売り注文が一連となって蓄積されたオーダー(注文)のブロックのことです。
オーダーブロックは機関投資家が相場を動かす際に、本来意図する方向とは一時的に逆に動かすことで、彼ら自身の注文をマッチングさせるための反対注文を発生させることで形成されます。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのオーダーブロックと上位足のオーダーブロックの両方を表示することができます。
また、オーダーブロックの表示オプションとして、
1.全てのオーダーブロックを表示
2.Strong(ストロング)オーダーブロックのみを表示
を選択することが可能です。
注: StrongオーダーブロックはStrong High/Lowで形成されるオーダーブロックを指します。(下記参照)
また、オーダーブロック到達でのアラート設定も可能です。
MTFフェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランス
コンセプト
フェアーバリューギャップ(FVG)/インバランスとは連続する3つのローソク足の間に形成される溝(Gap)のことです。
フェアーバリューギャップはマーケットが非常に早く動いたことにより、買いオーダーと売りオーダーの需給バランスが崩れることによって発生します。
フェアーバリューギャップには、価格がフェアーバリューギャップが発生したエリアまで戻ってくる傾向があるという特徴が存在します。
インジケーターによる表示
インジケーターはチャートタイムフレームのフェアーバリューギャップと上位足のフェアーバリューギャップの両方を表示することができます。
MTF Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)
コンセプト
Liquidity(リクイディティ)とはマネー、つまり注文です。
Liquidity Grab(リクイディティ·グラブ)とは、機関投資家がマーケットを動かす際にLiquidityを取得するプライスアクションのことを指します。
このプライスアクションは、機関投資家が処理する注文サイズが非常に大きいため、自身の注文を出す際に大量の反対注文を必要とすることからしばしば発生します。
これが、価格がLiquidity(注文)の集まっているエリアに接近し、それら注文をスワイプ(狩り取る)した後に上昇·下落する理由です。
Liquidityの可視化
一般的にLiquidityは高値の上(buy side liquidity)、安値の下(sell side liquidity)に存在します。
全ての高値·安値の中で、スイングハイ·ローがliquidityが最も蓄積されているエリアということができます。なぜならスイングハイ·ローは機関投資家の注文によってのみ形成されるからです。
インジケーターによる表示
ユーザーがLiquidityポイントを簡単に識別できるようにLiquidityをドット表示することが可能です。またチャートタイムフレームと上位足の両方のLiquidity Grabを表示することができます。
Liquidity Grab発生時にアラートも設定可能です。
MTF Strong High/Low(ストロングハイ·ロー)
コンセプト
Strong high/lowは文字通り、強い高値·安値のことを指します。
トレーダーの間でいくつかの異なる定義が存在しますが、当インジケーターでの定義は以下の通りです。
Strong high
Higher low(ハイアーロー) または Lower low(ロワーロー)をブレイクした高値
Strong low
Lower higher (ロワーハイ) または Higher High(ハイアーハイ)をブレイクした安値
インジケーターによる表示
チャートタイムフレーム、上位足のStrong High/Lowを表示することが可能です。
相場構造可視化
コンセプト
相場構造(Market structure/マーケットストラクチャー)とは、相場の流れを成り立たせる高値と安値を元にした一連の値動きです。建物における骨組みに該当します。
トレンドの発生、転換、レンジを見極めるための基礎であり、マルチタイムフレームで相場構造を分析することは、投資·トレードにおいて最も重要なテクニカルスキルです。
インジケーターによる表示
チャートタイムフレームと上位足タイムフレーム両方の相場構造を表示することができます。
また、相場構造が強気の状態か弱気の状態かを色で可視化するため、上位足含めた相場の流れを視覚的に判断することが可能です。
相場構造の強弱の定義は以下の通りです。
強気の相場構造(Bullish market structure)
価格がLower HighまたはHigher Highをブレイクしたとき
弱気の相場構造(Bearish market structure)
価格がHigher LowまたはLower Lowをブレイクしたとき
設定
上記の全ての機能は色やライン設定含めパラメーターで設定が可能です。またユーザの必要に応じて表示·非表示を切り替えることができます。
Sabbz Golden indicatorIndicator Name: Sabbz Golden Indicator
Short Title: Sabbz
Purpose: A comprehensive trading indicator designed for multiple trading styles (scalping, day trading, and trend following) by combining technical analysis tools such as EMAs, VWAP, support/resistance levels, order blocks, supply/demand zones, RSI, MACD, and volume analysis. It provides visual signals, trend analysis, and a dashboard for real-time decision-making.
Key Features
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Calculates four EMAs (Fast: 9, Medium: 21, Slow: 50, Trend: 200) to assess short, medium, and long-term trends.
Dynamic coloring based on trend direction:
Fast EMA: Lime (bullish), Red (bearish), Yellow (neutral).
Medium EMA: Blue (bullish), Orange (bearish), Gray (neutral).
Slow EMA: Green (bullish), Red (bearish), Purple (neutral).
Trend EMA: Green (bullish), Red (bearish).
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Plots VWAP with ±1σ deviation bands to identify dynamic support/resistance.
VWAP trend direction (bullish if close > VWAP and VWAP rising, bearish if close < VWAP and VWAP falling) informs trading signals.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Incorporates 5-minute and 15-minute EMA (9 and 21) data to confirm trends across timeframes, enhancing signal reliability.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Detects key support/resistance levels using fractal-based pivot points (5-bar left/right lookback).
Tracks touches of levels (minimum 3 touches required) within a 50-bar lookback.
Levels are filtered to stay within ±0.5% of the current price to avoid clutter.
Break of structure (BoS) signals are generated when price breaks key levels by a user-defined threshold (default: 0.1%).
Order Blocks:
Identifies bullish and bearish order blocks based on strong price reversals with high volume.
Visualized as green (bullish) or red (bearish) boxes on the chart.
Supply and Demand Zones:
Detects fresh demand zones (price drops to a 10-bar low, bounces with high volume) and supply zones (price reaches a 10-bar high, reverses with high volume).
Plotted as blue (demand) or orange (supply) boxes, adjusted by ±0.5 ATR for width.
Scalping Signals:
Generates scalp long/short signals for 1-5 minute timeframes based on:
Short-term EMA trend (9 > 21 for long, 9 < 21 for short).
RSI oversold (<30, rising) for longs or overbought (>70, falling) for shorts.
MACD momentum (histogram positive and rising for longs, negative and falling for shorts).
Volume spike (volume > 1.5x 20-period SMA).
Price above/below VWAP.
Day Trading Signals:
Generates day trading long/short signals for 5-15 minute timeframes based on:
Medium-term trend (EMA 9 > 21 and 21 > 50 for long, opposite for short).
Break of key resistance (long) or support (short).
Multi-timeframe EMA confirmation (5m and 15m).
Volume spike.
Trend Following Signals:
Generates swing/position trading signals based on:
Strong trend (short, medium, long-term EMAs aligned, VWAP trend, and multi-timeframe confirmation).
Presence of fresh demand/supply zones or order blocks.
RSI not overextended (<60 for longs, >40 for shorts).
Volume Analysis:
Uses a 20-period SMA of volume to detect spikes (>1.5x SMA) and high volume (>2x SMA) for signal confirmation.
Dashboard:
Displays real-time data in a top-right table with:
Timeframe: Scalping, Day Trading, Trend Following.
Trend: Bullish, Bearish, Neutral, or Strong Bull/Bear based on EMA and VWAP conditions.
Signal: Long, Short, or Wait based on entry conditions.
Levels: Key support, resistance, VWAP, and RSI values with status (Overbought, Oversold, Neutral).
Color-coded for quick interpretation.
Visual Elements:
Plots EMAs, VWAP, support/resistance levels, order blocks, and supply/demand zones.
Entry signals are marked with triangles (up for long, down for short) of varying sizes (small for scalping, normal for day trading, large for trend following) and colors (e.g., aqua for scalp long, purple for scalp short).
Background coloring indicates trend strength (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral).
Alerts:
Configurable alerts for:
Scalping Long/Short entries.
Day Trading Long/Short entries.
Trend Following Long/Short entries.
Resistance/Support breaks.
Input Parameters
EMAs:
Fast EMA (default: 9), Medium EMA (21), Slow EMA (50), Trend EMA (200).
Support/Resistance:

AQPRO Block Force
📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO Block Force is a powerful trading tool designed to identify and track Orderblocks (OBs) in real-time based on Fair Value Gap (FVG) principles. This indicator employs quite strict yet effective FVG filtering criteria to ensure only significant OBs are displayed, avoiding minor inefficiencies or duplicates within the same impulse or corrective moves. Each OB adapts dynamically to price action and can be categorized as Classic, Strong, or Extreme, based on proprietary conditions and best ideas from SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
In addition to plotting Orderblocks, the indicator offers useful filtering systems like an Age Filter to ensure cleanliness of the OB data on the chart and prevent old, irrelevant OBs from obstructing the chart. Users can also enable MTF (Multi-Timeframe) functionality to view OBs from other timeframes, providing a comprehensive analysis across multiple levels of market structure. With extensive customization options, AQPRO Block Force allows traders to tailor the visuals and behavior to fit their specific trading preferences.
This indicator does not parse any instituotinal data, order books and other fancy financial sources for finding order blocks nor it uses them for confirmation purposes. Calculations algorithms of order blocks are based purely on current asset's price history.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the sections below term 'quality' will be applied to orderblocks quite a number of times. By 'quality' in the context of orderblocks we mean the reaction of price upon the sweep of orderblock. Basically, if the price reverses after reaching the orderblock, this orderblock is considered to be of high quality. Definition for low -quality orderblock can be deducted by analogy.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator serves one and only purpose — help traders identify most lucrative institutional orderblocks on the chart in real time. Even though event of price reaching an orderblock cannot be considered as a sole signal in many trading strategies without proper confirmation, such event nevertheless is quite important in SMC-based trading, because when price sweeps OB it usually means, that a reversal will soon follow, but, of course, this is not the case every time.
Traders should not expect from this indicator detection of perfect orderblocks, which would surely revese the price on encounter, but they can expect is a time-proven algorithm of determing orderblocks that on average produces more high-quality orderblocks than simple similar tools from open-source libraries.
More in-depth advices on the usage will be given in the sections below, but for now let's summarise subgoals of the indicator:
Detecting orderblocks filtered through strict FVG validation rules to improve overall quality of orderblocks;
Classifying orderblocks as Classic, Strong, or Extreme based on wether or not classic orderblocks pass filtering conditions, which are based on crossing critical price levels and SMC principles like ChoCh (Change of Character);
Eliminating clutter and manage chart space with the Age Filter, removing old OBs outside a user-defined age range;
Utilizing MTF functionality to track significant OBs from other timeframes alongside current timeframe analysis;
Providing traders with customization options for indicator's visuals to help them organize information on the chart in a clean way.

📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application methodology of this indicator is pretty much the same as with any other indicator, whose purpose is to find and display orderblocks on the chart. However, before actually diving into the guide on application, we want to make a small step back to remind traders of the history of orderblocks as a concept, its limitations and benefits.
Orderblocks themselves are essentially just zones of potential institutional interest, which if reached are expected to reverse the price in the opposite direction. 'Potential' is a suitable remark for indicator's success probability, because, as was mentioned above, orderblocks don't guarantee price reversal regardless of quality of the indicator. This is the case for the simplest of reasons — orderblocks are based solely on price history and thus are to be considered a mathematical model , degree of success of which is never 100%, because all mathematical models abide by a "golden rule of trading" : past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
However, the extensive history of orderblocks clearly shows that this tool, despite being decades old, can still help traders produce market insights and improve any strategy's performance. Orderblocks can be used both as a primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but from our experience they are better to be used as confirmation tool. Our indicator is not an exception in this matter and we advice any trader to use it mainly for confirmation purposes, because use-case of orderblocks as confirmation tools have much success stories on average than being used as primary signal source.
This being said, let's return to the application guide and start reviewing the indicator from the most basic step — how it will look like when you first load it on your chart:
This indicator consisis of 3 main logic blocks:
Orderblock evaluation;
MTF Orderblock evaluation;
Orderblock post-filtering.
The principles behind these logic blocks will be easy to understand for truly experiences traders, but we understand the need to explain them to a wider audience, so let's review each of these logic blocks below.
ORDERBLOCK EVALUATION
Principles behind our orderblock detection logic are as follows:
Find FVG (Fair Value Gap) .
Note: this indicator uses only three-candle FVGs and doesn't track FVGs with insidebars after third (farther) candle.
If you don't know what FVG means, we recommend researching this term in the Internet, but the basic explanation is this: FVG is the formation of candles, which are positioned in a way that there are an unclosed price area between 1st and 3rd candle.
Conditions:
bullish FVG = high of 3rd candle < low of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle < close of 2nd candle AND high of 2nd candle < close of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle < low of 2nd candle ;
bearish FVG = low of 3rd candle < high of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle > close of 2nd candle AND low of 2nd candle > close of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle > high of 2nd candle .
See visual showcase of valid & invalid bullish & bearish FVGs on the screenshot below:
As was shown on the screenshot above, the only correc t formation for FVGs are considered to be just like on pictures 1 and 2 (leftmost column of patterns) . Only these formations will take part in further determenings orderblocks.
Send FVGs through filtering conditions.
This is the truly important part. Without properly filtering FVGs we would get huge clusters of FVGs on the chart and they will not make sense to be reviewed, because there will be just too much of them and their quality will be very questionable .
Even though there is a quite number of ways to filter FVGs, we decided to go with the ones we deem actually useful. For this indicator we chose two methods, that work in tandem — 1) base candle's inside bar condition and 2) single appearance on current impulse/correction line. Let's review these conditions below and start with looking at the examples of them on the screenshot below:
Examples of 1st & 2nd conditions are displayed on the left and right charts respectively.
The filtering logic in 1st and 2nd is quite connected and further explanation should help you understand it just enough to start trading with our indicator.
Let's start with explaining the term 'base candle' and logic behind it. Base candle candle be explained quite shortly: it is the latest candle on the chart, whose high or low broke previous base candle's high or low respectively. The first candle in the time series of price data is by default considered the base candle. If any new candle after base candle doesn't overtake base candle's high or low (meaning, that this candle is inside the range of base candle), such candle is called an "inside bar" .
Inside bar's term is important to understand, because FVGs, which appear inside the inside bars are usually quite useless, because price doesn't react from them, so orderblocks with such FVGs are also of bad quality as well. Clear depiction of inside bar was provided in the screenshot of conditions above on the left chart, so we won't waste time making another example.
However, this is not it. Base candle, inside bars and a few other types of bars are all a part of SMC ideas and in the world of SMC there is a special term, that hold the most important place and is considered the cornerstone of SMC methodology — impulse/correction lines (valid pullbacks) . The average definition of impulse/correction lines is quite hard to understand for an average trader, but we can summarise like this:
Impulse/correction line is a line, that starts at the beginning of the sequence of base candles, each new candle of which consistently updates previous base candle's respective high/low.
We won't go into description of this principle because it is outside of scope of this indicator, but you can research this topic in the Internet by keywords ' impulse correction trading ' or 'valid pullback principles trading '. The general idea of usage of impulse/correction lines in the context of this indicator is that each such lines 'holds' inside at least one FVG and we need to find exactly the first FVG, while leaving all other FVGs behind, because they to be of worse quality on average.
Basically, by using translating these terms into conditions from example above, we have achieved a simple yet powerful filtering system. system for FVGs, which allows us to work with orderblocks of much higher quality than average open-source indicators.
If FVG passed filters, evaluate its OB.
When FVG is confirmed, we can start the evaluation of its orderblock. The evaluation of orderblocks consists of several checkpoints: 1) is orderblock beyond current ChoCh* AND/OR 2) is orderblock from extreme price levels, calculated by our proprietary risk system. Let's review these checkpoints below.
* ChoCh (Change of Character, fundamental SMC idea) — price level, which if broken by close of price can potentially cause a revesal of the trend to direction opposite to the the previous one. To learn more about ChoCh please research the term on the Internet, because this indicator uses its standard definition and explaining of this term goes beyond the scope of this indicator.
To determine if orderblock is beyond current ChoCh levels, we need to first determine where these levels are on the chart. ChoCh levels of this indicator are calculated with a very lite approach, which is based on pivot points.
You can see basic demonstration of ChoCh levels in action on the screenshot below:
IMPORTANT NOTE: pivot period for pivots points inside our indicator is by default equal to 5 and cannot be changed in settings at the moment of publication.
On the screenshot above you can clearly see that ChoCh levels are essentially highest/lowest pivot point levels in between certain range of bars, where price doesn't update its extremum. You can see on there screenshot a new type of line — BoS (Break of Structure). BoS is almost the same thing as ChoCh, but with one change: it is a confirmation of price updating its extremum in the same direction as it was before, while ChoCh updates price extremum in the direction opposite to which it was before .
Why do these levels matter when evaluating the orderblocks? Orderblocks, which are located beyond current BoS/ChoCh levels, are of much higher quality on average than average orderblocks and they are called Strong Orderblocks .
On the chart such orderblocks are marked with 'Strong OB' label inside the body of an orderblock.
You can see the examples of Strong OBs on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 1st orderblock evaluation criteria. Now let's talk about the 2nd one.
Our 2nd evaluation criteria for orderblocks is a test on whether or price is behind specific price level, which is calculated by our proprietary risk system, which is based on fundamental of statistics, such as 'standard deviation' and etc.
This criteria allows us to catch orderblocks, which are located at quite extreme price levels, and mark them on trader's chart explicitly. Orderblocks, which are above our custom price levels, are called Extreme Orderblocks an are marked with 'Extreme OB' label inside orderblock's body.
You can see the example of Extreme OB on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 2nd evaluation criteria of the orderblock.
If an orderblock doesn't pass any of these two criterias, it is considered a classic orderblock. These orderblock are most common ones and have the lowest success rate among other types of orderblocks, listed above. Such orderblocks are marked with 'OB' label inside the orderblock's body.
You can see the examples of classic OB on the screenshot below:
This is it for orderblock evaluation logic. After doing all these steps, all orderblocks that we found are collected and displayed on the chart with their bodies and label marks.
What happens after the detection of the orderblocks?
All active orderblocks are being tracked in real time and their statuses are being updated as well (Strong orderblock can become Extreme orderblock and vice versa) . By an active orderblock we mean an orderblock, which wasn't swept by price's high or low. Bodies of active orderblocks are prolonged to the next candle on each new candle.
If an orderblock was swept, indicator will stop prolonging this orderblock and will mark it as swept on the chart with almost hollow body and dashed border line of the orderblock's body. Also swept orderblocks lose their name label, so you won't see any text in the orderblock after it was swept, but you will see its colour.
You can see the example of an active & swept orderblocks on the screenshot below:
This functionality helps distinguish active orderblocks from swept ones (inactive) and make more informed decisions.
MTF OB EVALUATION
Principles of MTF OBs evaluation are exactly the same as they are for current timeframe's OBs.
MTF OBs are displayed on the chart in same way as other OBs, but with one little change: to the right side of MTF OB's status will be postfix of the timeframe, from which this OB came from. Timeframe for MTF OBs can be chosen by user in the settings of the indicator.
MTF OBs also preserve their statuses (Strong, Extreme and Classic) when displayed on the current timeframe, so you won't stack of mistakenly marked MTF OBs as Extreme just because they are far away from the price.
You can see the example of MTF OBs on the screenshot below:
Also MTF OBs when swept lose only their name label, but the timeframe postfix will still be there, so you could distinguish MTF OBs from OBs of the current timeframe.
See the example of swept MTF OBs below:
Overall MTF orderblocks is a very useful to get a sense of where the higher timeframe liquidity reside and then adjust your strategy accordingly. Taking your trades from the place of high liquidity, like orderblocks, doesn't guarantee certain solid price reaction, but it definitely provides a trader with much a greater change of 1) catching a decent price move 2) not losing money white trading against institutional players.
As was stated above, we recommend using this tool as a confirmation system for your main trading strategy, because its usage as primary source of signals in the long-run is not viable, judging from historical backtest results and general public opinions of traders.
ORDERBLOCK POST-FILTERING
To enhance filtering capabilities of this indicator even further, we decided to add two filters, which would help reduce the amount of bad and untradeable orderblocks. These two filters are 1) age filter and 2) cancellation filter. Let's review both of them below.
Talking about the age filter , this filter was designed to help get rid of old orderblocks, which clutter the chart with visual noise and make it harder to find valueable orderblocks. This filter has to parameters: min age and max age . What does age mean in the context of an orderblock? It is the distance between OB's left border's bar and current bar. If this distance is between min age and max age values, such orderblock is considered valid and age filter passes it for further evaluation, but this distance is too short or too long, age filter deletes this orderblock from the chart.
You can the example of an orderblock which didn't pass age filter requirements and was deleted from the chart on the screenshot below:
It is important to mention that the missing orderblock from the right chart will be appear on the chart right when its age will exceed min age parameter of age filter.
The principle of work for max age parameter can be deducted by analogy: if the orderblock's age in bigger than max age value of age filter, this orderblock will be deleted from the chart .
For MTF OBs we decided to their own age filter, so that it won't abide by current timeframe's restrictions, because MTF OBs are usually much older than OB from current timeframe, so they would deleted a lot of time before they even appear on the chart, if they would abide by the age filter of current timeframe.
Default parameters of age filter are "max age = 500" and "min age = 0" . "Min age = 0" means that there is restrictions on the minimum age of orderblocks and they will appear on the chart as soon as the indicator validates them.
That was the explanation of the age filter.
Talking about the cancellation filter , this filter was intended to spot orderblocks which were extremely untradable and visually alert traders about them on the chart. In this indicator this filter works like this: for each orderblock cancellation filter creates a special price level and checks if it was broken by the close of price.
This special price level consists of the farthest border. of the orderblock ( top border for bearish OBs and bottom border for bullish OBs) and a certain threshold, which is added to the farthest border. This threshold is based on the current ATR value of the asset. This filter helps detect the orderblocks which should not be considered for trading, because price has already went too far beyond the liquidity of this orderblock.
Orderblocks, which are spotted by this filter, are marked with '❌' emoji on the price history.
You can see the example of an orderblock which was spotted by the cancellation filter in the screenshot below:
This filter is applied to both current timeframe and MTF timeframe and is NOT configurable in the settings.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish OB at 170000.00 was reached."
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH MTF OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example_mtf = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish MTF OB at 170000.00 was reached."
📌 NOTES
These OBs work on any timeframe, but we would advise to to use on higher timeframes, starting from at least 15m, because liquidity from higher timeframe tends to be much valuable when deciding which orderblock to take for a trade;
Use these OBs as a confirmation tool for your main strategy and refrain from using them as primary signal source. Traders, which use SMC-based strategies, will benefit from these orderblocks the most;
We recommend trading only with Strong and Extreme orderblocks, because they are proved to be of much greater quality than classic orderblocks and they work quite well in mid-term and long-term trading strategies. Classic orderblocs can be used for short-term trading strategies, but even in this case these OBs cannot be blindly trusted;
We strongly advise against take for a trading orderblocks, which were spotted by cancellation filter, because they are considered to be voided of liquidity;
Don't forget that you can toggle different types of OBs, MTF settings and visual settings in the settings of the indicator and fine-tune them to your liking.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Block Force is an indicator which designed with idea of helping trading save time on automatically detecting valuable orderblocks on the chart, evaluate their strength and filter out bad orderblocks. These employ the best principles of SMC, including FVGs, valid pullbacks and etc. FVGs play the key role in validating the existence of a particular orderblock and work in tandem with valid pullback to determine the maximum amount of true FVGs even in the most cluttered impulse/correction moves of the price. Our filters — Age Filter and Cancellation Filter — enhance the quality of the orderblocks by allowing only the newest and liquid orderblocks to appear on the chart. Additional MTF functionality allow trader to see orderblocks from other timeframe, which can be chosen in the settings, and get a sense of where the global liquidity resides. This indicator will be a useful confirmation tool to any trading strategy, but the SMC traders will surely get the most benefits out of it.

📈 Structure
What Is IDM?
IDM, or the Institutional Distribution Model, is an advanced concept within SMC that focuses on how institutional players distribute their positions in the market. By analyzing IDM, traders can better anticipate price movements and potential turning points, thereby gaining a meaningful edge in their trading.
In our structure concept, IDM can form under specific conditions. The market does not always provide a high-liquidity point to work with, so we’ve adopted a flexible approach. We generate IDM when a certain type of liquidity appears during the impulse and BOS break, allowing for a potential future liquidity sweep.
Below, I will provide an example that illustrates when IDM forms as a liquidity magnet within the structure - and when it does not.
As shown in the example above, we focus on the initial impulse after the BOS. If liquidity forms during this impulse - liquidity that needs to be taken out during the structural move - we mark an IDM level as a price magnet. However, if this liquidity does not appear, we do not create an IDM. In that case, the same point might serve as an FVG or play a different role, depending on your trading approach.
This concept makes the structure more flexible and better able to respond immediately to market movements and key structural points.
Above is an example on the chart illustrating what the structure looks like both with and without IDM. As you can see, when the structural move includes pullbacks and consolidation, there is an opportunity to form an IDM as a price magnet. However, if the impulses are strong and lack pullbacks, FVG becomes the only magnet in that move. Depending on the chart, our indicator adapts to the current market conditions and highlights potential liquidity collection points.
📊 Swing and Minor Structure
In the new version of the indicator, the minor structure and the swing structure differ from each other.
Swing structure - In this structure, as mentioned earlier, the IDM concept remains a price magnet and is formed at certain points on the chart if the conditions allow. If these points do not appear, IDM might not form at all.
Minor structure - Here, we have completely removed IDM and only kept BOS and CHoCH for structure formation. We found that for a minor structure, this approach allows faster reactions to trend changes, depending on market movements.
By making these adjustments, we have resolved the main issue of the advanced structure, which was the large distance between BOS and CHoCH that sometimes resulted in a month-long consolidation between these levels. In this version, those problems no longer occur.
If, for some reason, your settings result in a larger swing structure, you can still work with the minor structure using the same POI as in the swing structure. OrderBlock and FVG remain the primary drivers of order flow.
Shown above is a screenshot of the main structure settings you can adjust. These settings are highly flexible and can be tailored to fit a wide range of trading preferences.
⚖️ FVG Concept
A new feature of our indicator is the FVG concept. We automatically detect three types of FVG at the moment, which will be explained below.
FVG - the standard Fair Value Gap
Double FVG - a double FVG, also referred to as BPR (Balanced Price Range)
Implied Imbalance - a type of imbalance that arises from buyer or seller demand
Below, we will look at examples of the FVG types we currently identify.
All price inefficiencies work in real time, immediately appearing on the chart and allowing traders to quickly respond to FVG reactions.
We have also enhanced this concept by displaying FVG reactions on the chart. If an FVG triggers a reaction and the price responds to that range, we highlight it on the chart, so you can recognize the reaction and make timely trading decisions. A screenshot below shows how this looks in practice.
Below is a screenshot illustrating the main settings of this concept, along with detailed descriptions.
📦 OrderBlock Concept
OrderBlocks provide an effective way to identify areas of interest and make informed decisions. We have dedicated significant effort to refining this section’s functionality and have achieved strong results in doing so.
Order Block Types
Advanced OrderBlock – A specialized type of order block generated by our internal algorithm. This can help traders aim for tighter entries and potentially more favorable risk-reward ratios within a narrow price range.
OrderBlock – The classic type, formed at the highs or lows of a structure when a BOS or CHoCH occurs. It can still be an effective entry method but typically spans a wider price range.
Extremum Candle – Based on liquidity grabs. The candle creating this order block must collect liquidity before making an impulsive move that breaks the BOS or CHoCH.
BTS / STB (Buy To Sell / Sell To Buy) – This concept may appear when market makers manipulate price to buy or sell an asset. It often covers a larger price range because it relies on a brief impulsive move to form.
Each type of order block has its own strengths and weaknesses. We provide traders with the flexibility to choose which types suit their trading style and preferences.
Above is an example of how you can apply OrderFlow alongside our structure and orderblocks, which can produce solid results when combined with the Smart Money concept.
In this demonstration, we have highlighted the Advanced Orderblock as an illustration.
Above is a screenshot of all the settings related to this section. They can be customized to suit your specific needs, ensuring you only see what is genuinely relevant on your chart.
📏 Previous Highs and Lows
You can select four levels to display on the chart as some of the most liquid zones:
Daily Highs and Lows
Weekly Highs and Lows
Monthly Highs and Lows
Quarterly Highs and Lows
This feature helps you identify important levels on lower timeframes and focus on these zones for potential trading opportunities. Below is an example of how it appears on the chart.
Below, you can see the settings available in this section.
📐 Fibonacci Levels
Likewise, a new section in our indicator is Fibonacci Levels, a well-known tool recognized as a reliable source of important levels on the chart. We have added this functionality with the option to choose how you want to generate these levels and which specific levels you want to display.
You can plot Fibonacci levels based on the Swing structure, Minor structure, previous or current day, month, and more. In total, there are 10 different options for constructing the Fibonacci grid.
Above, you can see an example of how it appears on the chart, and below you will find the settings available in this section.
🈹 Premium and Discount
Another useful feature for all traders is the Premium and Discount zones based on structure. This makes it easy to identify areas of interest—whether in a discount or premium zone, or in an equilibrium area.
Below, you can also see the settings available in this section.
✅ Additional Function
We have also separated a few functions into their own section:
Color Candles – Colors the candles according to the current trend.
Market Structure ZigZag – Visually highlights the zigzag used to form the structure.
Key Point Labels – Displays the points on the chart from which the structure is built.
Equal Highs & Lows – Identifies equal highs and lows as areas of potential liquidity for larger market players, as price often aims to sweep these zones.
Below are a few screenshots showing how these features appear on the chart.
Color Candles
Market Structure ZigZag and Key Point Labels
Equal Highs & Lows
Below, you can see a screenshot displaying all the settings available in this section.
🎨 General Styling
We have devoted considerable effort to providing flexible customization for each element on the chart, so you can design the exact look you want. That’s why we created an additional section where you can adjust any element’s size, style, and more.
Combined with extensive color and transparency options, this feature provides a flexible appearance for the indicator on any chart.
Below, you can see the settings available in this section
🔔 Alert Customization
You can configure over 16 types of reactions to various events on the chart. Additionally, you can set up alerts to trigger at specific fill levels and explore numerous other alert options, as shown in the screenshot below.
🟠 Usage Examples
We have also prepared several examples of how to use the indicator. These are standard entry models taken from the classic Smart Money concept.
First Example
In the screenshot above, the market displays a downward structure until a manipulation occurs, followed by a CHoCH break. This is a standard entry model featuring an entry at the nearest FVG, a stop-loss placed beyond the manipulation, and a target at the nearest liquidity zone—whether session-based or, as in our case, a gap (one of the FVG types) that price commonly revisits.
This is considered a more aggressive entry because we only waited for a single confirmation of the trend change—the CHoCH break—and then entered immediately afterward. While the WinRate might be lower in such trades, the Risk-Reward ratio is typically very high if you correctly identify the manipulation.
Second Example
This approach is more conservative and less risky, typically offering a higher WinRate but with a lower Risk-Reward ratio.
Here, we use the 4H FVG as our decision point (POI). With the indicator, we plot the 4-hour FVG on our current chart without needing to switch back and forth between timeframes.
Once price reaches our POI, we look for an entry model that includes three confirmations:
First Confirmation – A CHoCH break.
Second Confirmation – A manipulation.
Third Confirmation – A second BOS break.
We wait for all these confirmations before entering the trade, ensuring our stop-loss is well-protected since the remaining liquidity has been swept and the 4-hour FVG has been fully filled.
Our target is the full fill of a higher timeframe FVG or other high-liquidity levels below.
In a conservative setup, it is crucial to allow a complete OrderFlow to develop, including manipulations and clear breaks of lower levels. This approach helps protect the trade and often results in a higher WinRate.
🟠 Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results. To trade successfully, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the market context and the specific situation at hand. Always conduct your own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.

MTF OB Supply Demand ZonesHello everyone,
This exceptional indicator provides you with visual representations of bullish and bearish order blocks or supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes. In simple terms, bullish order blocks are represented by a small red candle followed by a large red candle, while bearish order blocks are depicted as a small green candle followed by a large red candle. Supply and demand zones are drawn by using order blocks.
Features:
Display order blocks from up to three different timeframes.
Customize the maximum number of boxes shown and the colors of the zones.
Choose from three different modes: OB (Order Block), Extended OB, and Supply/Demand.
Mode Descriptions:
OB: Includes the body of the candle.
Extended OB: Encompasses the body and wick of the candle.
Supply/Demand: Covers the body, wick, and half the body of the large candle.
Usage:
Ensure that charts 2 and 3 are set to a higher timeframe. For modes 2 and 3, it’s recommended to reduce the maximum number of boxes shown. The zones or boxes are transparent, allowing for overlap. This feature aids in identifying reversal zones or confirmed zones. The more intense the color, the stronger the confirmation. If a green zone overlaps a red zone (or vice versa), it signifies a reversal zone.
Thank you for checking out this indicator!

Additional Information:
Order blocks refer to specific price areas where large market participants, such as institutional traders, have previously placed significant buy or sell orders. These clusters of orders can impact price movement, liquidity, and market sentiment.
Order blocks are a strategic approach to identifying key levels of support and resistance based on the behavior of institutional traders. These key levels are then utilized as entry or exit points for trades.
An order block is an area where there has been a large concentration of limit orders awaiting execution. These blocks are identified on a chart by observing previous price action and pinpointing areas where the price experienced significant movement or abrupt changes in direction.
Order blocks are used in the following popular trading philosophies:

IMGLite - V1.0IMG indicators use five sequential stages to analyse price and alert users to potential Trade Setups using various Price Action Concepts as detailed below:
a. Identify Higher Timeframe Market Structure and Points of Interest (HTF-POIs)
b. Calculate position size based on your risk appetite, fees and account leverage
c. Alert you to risk managed trade setups at enabled HTF-POIs
d. Alert you to trade exits based on your set criteria
e. Provide Additional Alerts such as Higher Timeframe SFPs and Market Structure Breaks that act as potential early warnings that a trade setup may be forming
a. HTF POIs Available with IMG LITE:
1. HTF Market Structure Range Highs and Lows
2. HTF Order Blocks
3. HTF Breakers
4. HTF FVGs
1. Higher Timeframe Market Structure Range High and Low through Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
2. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
b. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
c. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG LITE:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
1. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
2. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
1. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: H12 SFPs at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the Lower Timeframe MSB Level
2. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the Lower Timeframe MSB Level
Example:
d. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG Lite:
Exit alerts will trigger at user defined R:R
Example: H12 SFPs and Potential Trade Setups with Exits at fixed 2R on a H1 Chart:
e. IMG LITE Alerts Overview
Higher Timeframe Market Structure Breaks (HTF MSBs)
The system provides notifications of confirmed Market Structure Breaks based on the selected Higher Timeframe Market Structure Timeframe. For instance, selecting a weekly structure will trigger an alert when weekly price closes through a weekly structural level, and the same logic applies to other timeframes like D, H12, H4, H1 etc.
The system provides notifications of:
1. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
2. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
3. Potential Trade Setups (defined above)
4. Fixed R Trade Exits
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions; manage your risk wisely.
Stay safe and Happy Trading!
Smart Money Concepts(v0.01) - SoldiSmart Money Concepts
We are very pleased to be releasing our latest addition to the Soldi tools, called Smart Money Concepts. What this indicator was built to be is a guideline and tool to help a trader develop the mental mind state of a Smart Money Trader. Picking up on the digital footprints that they might have missed! This is our first iteration of this tool but we have so so much more coming to bring to this tool! So much that we might need to release 2 scripts to be able to efficiently fit it all in. As always Soldi/MMCFX always try to raise the bar on what is possible with PineScript and what advanced concepts we can bring to the retail market with ease, this project was insanely fun trying to get together and we spent a lot of months talking with and doing sessions with very well versed traders who only specialize and solely trade live with Smart Money/ICT Concepts. After many months of talking with and working with these traders we believe we have put together a very unique tool that any SMC trader would love to have in their tool belt.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) is the practice of trying to track the digital footprints left by Market Makers and large money traders like Institutional bodies and brokers. I believe this concept was originally developed by Inner Circle Trading (ICT), who has some great great content for free on YouTube. To my knowledge he was the father of the concepts being taken mainstream to retail individuals. Since then, there has been many other who have released content on these theories. For the sake of congruency we have only developed these tools based off the knowledge and practices taught by ICT.
What is Included within this tool?
What is currently Included with this tool are the following.
Market Structure - This includes Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH), It was really important for us to define the different shifts that SMC traders track and follow so we built a unique customizable system that allows the traders to track these Market Structure shifts in real-time. Part of this module includes the option to plot the High/Low labels, by putting this settings on you will mark out the swing points as their respective Higher High(HH), High Low(HL), Lower Low(LL) and Lower High(LH) . This feature is a great way to help familiarize yourself with spotting these instances, there is a slight lag due to the nature of the calculations for tracking the Swing Points. By default we track 4 left bars and 4 right bars, on the 5th bar if the swing point returns true you will see the label plot itself. If you have a higher bar count you will need to wait till x+1 to see the label be plotted. eg. 7 bar count on the left and right, you will need to wait till the 8th bar to see the label be plotted.
By changing the bar counts you also change how the Market Structure module picks up the Market shifts (BOS/CHoCH)
4 bar left, 4 bar right example:
7 bar left, 7 bar right example:
Liquidity Sweep - This part of the Market Structure module is still being worked on and built out, this feature is meant to help a trader identify potential liquidity sweeps that have taken place past or present by switching the bar color to the user defined color (default yellow). There are many different types of liquidity sweeps that can take place and we are still working on the different profiles of these! More profiles will be added to the the updates in the future to help identify these potential trade areas
Liquidity Sweep example:
Trend Bars - This part of the Market Structure module helps traders identify structure trends based on the breaks of existing structure. Again this will shift as you play with the bar count settings, low bar count will identify faster swing points and shifts where as higher bar counts will identify longer term structures. By having this setting on it will change the bar colors to Red(Bearish) or Blue(Bullish) by default, we recommend to change your candles border settings to make this more visible.
7 bar left, 7 bar right. With High Low Labels and Trend Bars
Fair Value Gaps - This module will track the Fair Value Gaps and Imbalances that will take place in real-time. Once the final candle closes it will plot the FVG. Unlike other FVG indicators on TradingView we hold and store ALL the FVG's that take place, other indicators will only hold on to x amount of the FVG's and as new ones enter the list the old ones get bumped out. We didn't like this idea, so what we did was instead store all of the FVG's but create a threshold to where they would be plotted, eg. if you set the threshold to 4% it will only show you the FVG's within a 4% range from the current price. This way you still have access to all the data with out compromising but it helps you focus on the current data at hand.
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 3% threshold example
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 8% threshold example
Order Blocks - This was an especially interesting module to build, just like the FVG's we found that a lot if not all the authors on TradingView haven't actually been coming close to tracking and plotting true ICT style Order blocks. We set out to change that though, again through a unique approach we have built this Order Block indicator. To also comment on the other scripts out there that claim to track Order Blocks, not a SINGLE script mentions anything about Validated Order Blocks , which was especially important to all the SMC traders I have talked to and had help from building this indicator. Just like the FVG piece this also has a 'threshold' plot, but not only that it gives you the option to look at "No Validation" and "Validated" Order Blocks. With soon another style of Validation to choose from. If you choose the "Validated" option the script will actively seek Order Blocks that have a POI/liquidity sitting above it. I also want to make it clear that based on your bar count settings the order blocks will differ, as they are also based from structure breaks!
Order Blocks with "No Validation" example
Order Blocks with "Validation" example
Advanced Session Tracking - We always seek to out do what has been done and what we have already done, that being said we built our Advanced Session Tracking module to follow each user define Session's Open, High, Low, Close, Liquidity threshold and extend that into the next session . As per our last KillZone indicator we also included the Forward Plotting feature which will plot the defined sessions 24 hours in advance vs only showing you real time. Many if not all Session tracking tools on TradingView only show you real-time and in the past when the define sessions are but we find that to be a very silly practice because as SMC traders you know how important it is the relation between time and price. Instead of reacting to the sessions you and prepare for the sessions ahead of time anticipating when price might react to time.
note: There is a small bug with tracking the crypto based sessions, this is working to be fixed for the next update, check the release notes to see when the fix occurs
Session Background plots with forward plotting example
Session Backgrounds with High/Lows and Liquidity range example
What is to come with the updates?
We are always looking to improve anything, even if it is just a fraction better. That is why we are continuing to work with our SMC traders to refine the concepts, profiles, coding as well as the logic behind the calculations.
Here is a list of what we are planning and working on to be released in the updates to come!
Intra-Day Profiling - Each day has a profile, what we want to achieve is to track and predict these profiles
Liquidity Scanner - There are different types of liquidity that form and we want to be able to find and track these
Smart Trend Alerts - We want to combine quant methods into SMC to provide high probability trade ideas
User Suggestions - We are always open to work with the community to bring features they want
If it's not Soldi, it isn't money
SPARTAN SMC TOOL 1.0SPARTAN SMC TOOL 1.0
1. Order Block
2.Double Zig Zag
3. Imbalance
//--------------------- details about smc tool -----------------------//
Order Block:
I) The Order Blocks are NOT DETECTED in REAL TIME!
- A Bullish Order Block is the last red candle BEFORE a subsequent series of green candle
- A Bearish Order Block is the last green candle BEFORE a subsequent series of red candles
The required length of the series is defined by the parameter "Relevant Periods to identify OB" (by default it is set to 5).
This means that the earliest an Order Block can be identified with these settings is 5 candles AFTER it has occurred!
As a result of this....
II) The identified Order Blocks (and therefore also the Alerts) are not BUY or SELL signals!
As I have mentioned in the description before, these identified Order Blocks rather show "Areas of Interest" on the chart where there is an increased probability that the price will revisit these levels at one point in the future (but no guarantee of course!).
III) ....and YES, it REPAINTS....by definition!
A "repainting" indicator is changing signals in the past. As according to the defined logic an Order Block can only be identified AFTER future conditions are met, it will of course "repaint" the signal into the chart only after at least the relevant period has elapsed - the same applies to the Alerts. If you intend to complain about this "repainting", then I am sorry to say that you did not understand what this is used for and I advise you not to use this indicator. I would then advise you to first read a bit about Institutional Order Flow.
IV) This is not the "Perfect Indicator".....
When you look at the historical performance on the chart, it looks like that the Indicator ALWAYS called a perfect entry! But due to the definition of the logic and due to the delay/repainting, this is misleading if you do not understand how it is supposed to work. So please make sure that you REALLY understand it before you use it - I tried to be very clear in my explanations.
Double Zig Zag:
Here Double Zig Zag with HHLL script is with you. it calculates 2 Zig Zag simultaneously and draws them, and also it calculates and puts Higher High, Lower Low, Higher Low, Lower High labels. All these are done dynamically, it means last HH/HL/LL/LH can change. if price continues to go up then HL can turn to LL or if price continues to go down then LH can turn to HH. This script can be used for different purposes such trend analysis, support/resistance levels, breakouts etc.
I tried to make many things optional:
You can set Periods for Zig Zags as you wish
You can set different colors for both Zig Zag Up/Down lines
You have option to show both Zig Zag , one of them or none them
You have option to show both HHLL, one of them or none them
You can set Zig Zag 1 line style as Dashed or Dotted
You can set Line Widths for Zig Zags
Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps
Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps are created when Price moves away in one direction at speed / impulsively.
A gap is created between the first and third candle wick which creates the Imbalance / Fair Value Gap and is sometimes a potential area of where the market could return
making the area a good place to look to trade from or to aim for.
This Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicator will change the color of the candles where these gaps have been created and also created a Line at the start of the Gap.
Although the candle color will not change, the lines however will be removed when price has closed the Gap making it easier to look for the untouched Imbalance / Fair Value Gaps when opening the charts or changing between timeframes and allowing you to create your potential areas to trade from or areas to target.
You are also able to add a shape on the gaps and change style of lines created along with the width and length.
From the testing I have carried out whilst trading, using more than a 500 bar look back seems to cause issue so this is the max you can set the candle look back.
There are other Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicators but I just wanted to create one with a few additional options which suited my trading style.
Hope you find it useful and happy safe trading...

RT-Signal LiteRT-Signal Lite — Learning & Price-Action Companion (EN)
Protected script – source code is not visible. Educational tool for learning structured entries, filters and risk management.
What it is
RT-Signal Lite is a learning-first price-action indicator that helps you turn chart context into repeatable entries. It combines a score engine (trend, momentum, volume, divergences) with optional pattern/structure filters, a clear signal panel, and a visual TP/SL ladder in R-multiples.
How it helps you learn
• Practice exact entry logic (Cross/Pullback/Breakout with optional Retest).
• See why a setup is allowed or blocked (FVG/HTF proximity, ADX/DI, Volume Z, Liquidity sweep etc.).
• Train risk thinking with R-based TP ladder, BE/Trailing, “SL-Fishing” concept and a compact monthly performance table (educational only).
• Multi-TF RSI panel + simple market labels keep the big picture in view.
• Works great in Replay mode for bar-by-bar drills.
Quick start
Pick a supported timeframe (3/5/15/30/45/60/240/D by default; or add your own in Settings → Timeframe-Gate).
Choose an Entry Mode : CrossOnly / Pullback / Breakout (with ATR buffer) / Retest / Any.
Keep default risk presets (ATR or Structure SL, TP1 in R, step in R, optional BE/Trailing).
Read the Signal Box : direction, Entry/SL/SL-Fishing, TP1…TPn, status, VIX/VDAX state, score & confidence.
Use Trend Box for MTF RSI and a quick checklist (Breakout, Volume OK, Divergence, VIX allowed).
Train in Replay → journal your decisions.
Main features (Lite)
• Entry engine : SMA cross, EMA pullback bounce, prior HH/LL breakout with ATR buffer, optional strict Retest window; candlestick assists (Hammer/Shooting Star, Engulfing, Morning/Evening Star, Doji, Inside Bar, 3 Soldiers/Crows).
• Filters : ADX/DI thresholds (TF-aware), Volume (level & Z-score), RSI divergences (pivot-anchored), ATR/Close regime, FOMO-bar guard, Liquidity sweep window, Opposite Order-Block distance, FVG zone gating, HTF zone proximity, optional VIX/VDAX gate (auto picks VDAX for DAX).
• Structure : Support/Resistance lines, classical FVG (lifetime & mitigation), robust Order-Blocks with separate states and mitigation logic.
• Scanners : Triangle breakout (Lite).
• Risk & exits : Structure/ATR SL, SL-Fishing buffer, TP ladder in R (TP1…TPn), optional BE & Trailing after TP1, cooldown, max bars in trade.
• UI : Signal Box, Trend Box, local trade boxes/lines (entry/sl/tp), watermark, monthly performance table (one outcome per trade: highest TP or SL-Fishing; counted by exit/entry month – for learning only).
• Alerts : Alerts are available in PRO only.
• Privacy : Compiled & protected; source code is not visible.
Key inputs (short list)
Entry mode • Breakout ATR buffer • Retest window/strict • Pullback bounce •
Risk: min R:R, Structure/ATR SL, ATR multiplier, TP ladder, BE/Trail, Cooldown •
Filters: ADX/DI, Volume/Z, ATR regime, RSI limits, FVG/HTF gates, Liquidity sweep, Opp. OB distance •
Scanners: Triangle (Lite) • RSI-MTF toggles • Visuals (Signal/Trend boxes, SR, OB/FVG).
Markets & timeframes
Indices (US/DE), commodities, crypto, forex, stocks.
Works on the whitelisted/custom TFs (e.g., 3/5/15/30/45/60/240/D). Heikin-Ashi and some feeds may change results; volume-based filters need reliable volume.
Best practice (learning workflow)
• Start with 5m/15m/1h on liquid symbols.
• Train in Replay: define entry, see blockers, adjust rules, collect screenshots.
• Move to live observation (paper/sim) only after you can explain every entry/avoidance.
• Use strict risk: position sizing to SL, no over-optimization, no promises.
FAQ — “No signal?” (common blockers)
TF not allowed • Cooldown active • ADX/DI below threshold • VIX/VDAX gate off •
Retest not hit yet • FVG/HTF gate blocking • FOMO bar filtered • Min R:R to next level not met • Opposite OB too close • Liquidity sweep window not satisfied.
PRO upgrade
Adds alerts and extra scanners (Range/Channel/Double-Top/Bottom), more visualization and flexibility. Links are provided inside the script under Settings → Info .

ICT HTF Candles [Pro] (fadi)The ICT HTF Candles shows you multi-timeframe price action by plotting up to six higher timeframe candles on your chart, scaled to real price levels. Set candle counts per timeframe or toggle them off for a clean view, saving you time switching between charts. This helps you spot trends and reversals quickly, align trades with the market’s direction, and time setups like sweeps or bounces better. From scalping on the 1m to swinging on the 4H, it simplifies ICT and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), revealing trend shifts and institutional moves clearly. Once you use it, trading without this clarity just won’t feel right.
Key Features:
In-Depth Price Action Levels
These levels track ICT PD arrays and confluences across timeframes, making it easy to see how price action flows from higher timeframes and what your setup faces. Is your 5m trade about to run into a 1H bearish order block? Did it bounce off a higher timeframe FVG and create an SMT with a correlated asset? They make your chart a clear roadmap to market structure, helping you find strong setups, save time, and align with institutional moves:
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): In ICT trading, CISD marks potential reversal levels on each timeframe by showing the open of the highest series of up (green) candles for a bullish shift or the open of the lowest series of down (red) candles for a bearish shift. These levels are set at the opening price of the first candle in those runs, highlighting where the market turns. The indicator makes these levels easy to spot across timeframes, so you can track reversal points clearly. You can set your own confirmation criteria—a close or wick above/below the CISD line (bearish/bullish) or a close or wick above/below the high/low—to verify the CISD level cross. When confirmed, there is a high probability that we have a change in trend, and a reversal order block forms. CISD helps you track these reversal levels and confirm market shifts, making multi-timeframe analysis straightforward.
Order Blocks: When a CISD level cross is confirmed, the price is now below a series of up (green) candles or above a series of down (red) candles, marking these candles as order blocks that usually support the new trend direction. The indicator shows these levels clearly across timeframes, making it easy to spot high-probability reversal or consolidation areas. Keep in mind that price may sometimes move to mitigate an imbalance, so use your best judgment based on your multi-timeframe analysis to confirm they meet your trading criteria.
Trend Bias: Traders often struggle figuring out market bias—guessing the trend wrong, losing on trades against the flow, or missing how lower and higher timeframes line up. The Trend Bias feature tracks order blocks and change in state of delivery, displaying bullish or bearish trends for each timeframe to help you choose trades that go with the market’s direction. The indicator shows these trends clearly across timeframes, so you can quickly see if the 5m matches the 1H or if you’re going against the bigger trend. This makes it easier to avoid bad trades and make decisions faster, keeping you on track with setups that follow the main trend.
Immediate Rebalance: When looking at price action, you’ll see the market doesn’t usually leave behind many Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). That’s because the market is efficient and always rebalancing any inefficiencies. When the market starts a strong move, the last candle will usually close above the previous candle high (for up moves) or below the low (for down moves). At this point, the market will do one of two things: immediately rebalance by retracing first, or have a small retracement but leave behind an FVG. The Immediate Rebalance feature tracks rebalance levels across multiple timeframes, clearly showing where price rebalances. This helps traders have a better expectation of how the market may need to retrace and anticipate Power of Three (PO3) setups by being ready for a Judas swing to rebalance the imbalance.
Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances: If the market fails to immediately rebalance, it will usually attempt to come back and rebalance it at a later time. FVGs and VIs give you a clear area where the price might be heading if it starts breaking structure on lower timeframes. These inefficiencies—price gaps (FVGs) or aggressive moves (VIs)—show where the market’s working to fix imbalances. The Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances feature tracks these levels across timeframes.
Previous Candle Levels: The Previous Candle Levels feature marks the high, low, and middle of the prior candle on each timeframe, helping you identify key price levels for sweeps, bounces, or breakouts. It tracks the candle’s high and low as its extremes and the middle as the 50% mark, which you can set to calculate using the high-to-low range or the open-to-close range. These levels can provide tradable setups on lower timeframes.
Smart Money Techniques (SMT): What’s an ICT indicator without an SMT feature to track cracks in correlated assets? The ICT HTF Candles monitors your chosen correlated assets, like EUR/USD and GBP/USD or SQ and NQ, for signs of strength or weakness to use as confluence with other features and build the case for A+ setups. The SMT feature spots divergences when one asset makes a higher high or lower low while the other doesn’t follow, hinting at potential reversals or market shifts. It tests SMT using two immediate candles, since higher timeframes (HTFs) create larger gaps on lower timeframes. Traders can easily see these divergence levels, like a 15m SMT lining up with a 1H order block or CISD, helping you confirm high-probability setups and strengthen trade entries with multi-timeframe confluence.
02 SMC + BB Breakout (Improved)This strategy combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Bollinger Band breakouts to identify potential trading opportunities. SMC focuses on identifying key price levels and market structure shifts, while Bollinger Bands help pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions and potential breakout points. The strategy also incorporates higher timeframe trend confirmation to filter out trades that go against the prevailing trend.
Key Components:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price and a standard deviation multiplier.
The strategy uses the upper and lower bands to identify potential breakout points.
The SMA (basis) acts as a centerline and potential support/resistance level.
The fill between the upper and lower bands can be toggled by the user.
Higher Timeframe Trend Confirmation:
The strategy allows for optional confirmation of the current trend using a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
It calculates the SMA of the higher timeframe's closing prices.
A bullish trend is confirmed if the higher timeframe's closing price is above its SMA.
This helps filter out trades that go against the prevailing long-term trend.
Smart Money Concepts (SMC):
Order Blocks:
Simplified as recent price clusters, identified by the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period.
These levels are considered potential areas of support or resistance.
Liquidity Zones (Swing Highs/Lows):
Identified by recent swing highs and lows, indicating areas where liquidity may be present.
The Swing highs and lows are calculated based on user defined lookback periods.
Market Structure Shift (MSS):
Identifies potential changes in market structure.
A bullish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks above a previous swing high.
A bearish MSS occurs when the closing price breaks below a previous swing low.
The swing high and low values used for the MSS are calculated based on the user defined swing length.
Entry Conditions:
Long Entry:
The closing price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bullish.
A bullish MSS must have occurred.
Short Entry:
The closing price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
If higher timeframe confirmation is enabled, the higher timeframe trend must be bearish.
A bearish MSS must have occurred.
Exit Conditions:
Long Exit:
The closing price crosses below the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the Closing price falls below 99% of the order block low.
Short Exit:
The closing price crosses above the Bollinger Band basis.
Or the closing price rises above 101% of the order block high.
Position Sizing:
The strategy calculates the position size based on a fixed percentage (5%) of the strategy's equity.
This helps manage risk by limiting the potential loss per trade.
Visualizations:
Bollinger Bands (upper, lower, and basis) are plotted on the chart.
SMC elements (order blocks, swing highs/lows) are plotted as lines, with user-adjustable visibility.
Entry and exit signals are plotted as shapes on the chart.
The Bollinger band fill opacity is adjustable by the user.
Trading Logic:
The strategy aims to capitalize on Bollinger Band breakouts that are confirmed by SMC signals and higher timeframe trend. It looks for breakouts that align with potential market structure shifts and key price levels (order blocks, swing highs/lows). The higher timeframe filter helps avoid trades that go against the overall trend.
In essence, the strategy attempts to identify high-probability breakout trades by combining momentum (Bollinger Bands) with structural analysis (SMC) and trend confirmation.
Key User-Adjustable Parameters:
Bollinger Bands Length
Standard Deviation Multiplier
Higher Timeframe
Higher Timeframe Confirmation (on/off)
SMC Elements Visibility (on/off)
Order block lookback length.
Swing lookback length.
Bollinger band fill opacity.
This detailed description should provide a comprehensive understanding of the strategy's logic and components.

Silver Bullet ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] 10-11 AM NY Time +FVG🔵 Introduction
The ICT Silver Bullet trading strategy is a precise, time-based algorithmic approach that relies on Fair Value Gaps and Liquidity to identify high-probability trade setups. The strategy primarily focuses on the New York AM Session from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, leveraging heightened market activity within this critical window to capture short-term trading opportunities.
As an intraday strategy, it is most effective on lower timeframes, with ICT recommending a 15-minute chart or lower. While experienced traders often utilize 1-minute to 5-minute charts, beginners may find the 1-minute timeframe more manageable for applying this strategy.
This approach specifically targets quick trades, designed to take advantage of market movements within tight one-hour windows. By narrowing its focus, the Silver Bullet offers a streamlined and efficient method for traders to capitalize on liquidity shifts and price imbalances with precision.
In the fast-paced world of forex trading, the ability to identify market manipulation and false price movements is crucial for traders aiming to stay ahead of the curve. The Silver Bullet Indicator simplifies this process by integrating ICT principles such as liquidity traps, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG).
These concepts form the foundation of a tool designed to mimic the strategies of institutional players, empowering traders to align their trades with the "smart money." By transforming complex market dynamics into actionable insights, the Silver Bullet Indicator provides a powerful framework for short-term trading success
Silver Bullet Bullish Setup :
Silver Bullet Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Silver Bullet Indicator is a specialized tool that operates within the critical time windows of 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00 in the forex market. Its design incorporates key principles from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, focusing on concepts such as liquidity traps, CISD Levels, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to provide precise and actionable trade setups.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In a bullish setup, the indicator starts by marking the high and low of the session, serving as critical reference points for liquidity. A typical sequence involves a liquidity grab below the low, where the price manipulates retail traders into selling positions by breaching a key support level.
This movement is often orchestrated by smart money to accumulate buy orders. Following this liquidity grab, a market structure shift (MSS) occurs, signaled by the price breaking the CISD Level—a confirmation of bullish intent. The indicator then highlights an Order Block near the CISD Level, representing the zone where institutional buying is concentrated.
Additionally, it identifies a Fair Value Gap, which acts as a high-probability area for price retracement and trade entry. Traders can confidently take long positions when the price revisits these zones, targeting the next significant liquidity pool or resistance level.
Bullish Setup in CAPITALCOM:US100 :
🟣 Bearish Setup
Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price manipulates liquidity by creating a false breakout above the high of the session. This move entices retail traders into long positions, allowing institutional players to enter sell orders.
Once the price reverses direction and breaches the CISD Level to the downside, a change of character (CHOCH) becomes evident, confirming a bearish market structure. The indicator highlights an Order Block near this level, indicating the origin of the institutional sell orders, along with an associated FVG, which represents an imbalance zone likely to be revisited before the price continues downward.
By entering short positions when the price retraces to these levels, traders align their strategies with the anticipated continuation of bearish momentum, targeting nearby liquidity voids or support zones.
Bearish Setup in OANDA:XAUUSD :
🔵 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 Silver Bullet Indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed specifically for forex traders who aim to leverage market dynamics during critical liquidity windows. By focusing on the highly active 9:00-10:00 and 10:00-11:00 timeframes, the indicator simplifies complex market concepts such as liquidity traps, Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and CISD Levels, transforming them into actionable insights.
What sets the Silver Bullet Indicator apart is its precision in detecting false breakouts and market structure shifts (MSS), enabling traders to align their strategies with institutional activity. The visual clarity of its signals, including color-coded zones and directional arrows, ensures that both novice and experienced traders can easily interpret and apply its findings in real-time.
By integrating ICT principles, the indicator empowers traders to identify high-probability entry and exit points, minimize risk, and optimize trade execution. Whether you are capturing short-term price movements or navigating complex market conditions, the Silver Bullet Indicator offers a robust framework to enhance your trading performance.
Ultimately, this tool is more than just an indicator; it is a strategic ally for traders who seek to decode the movements of smart money and capitalize on institutional strategies. With the Silver Bullet Indicator, traders can approach the market with greater confidence, precision, and profitability.
Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points (WVPPP) Indicator! This indicator renders a volume profile using the latest pivot points, automatically adjusting itself when new pivots occur. The pivoting mode can be switched between default pivot points and order blocks mode. It can be adjusted to give more weight to recent or past candlesticks, or can be used as a normal volume profile. For more information, please read the full write-up.
Features of the new Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points (WVPPP) Indicator :
Renders Volume Profile Of The Range Between Latest Pivots
Two Pivoting Modes Including Order Blocks Mode
Adjustable Weighthing Towards Past or Recent
Customizable Row Count & Maximum Distance
Left or Right Alignment
More Styling Options
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with two key features. One is it's ability to weight volumes based on their distance to the current time. Giving weight to volumes may offer new trading opportunities to traders as they can now see the most recent Point Of Control (POC) or a more powerful but past POC based on their choice. Another key feature the indicator has is that it automatically finds latest valid pivot points, and uses that range for the volume profile. The range changes dynamically as new pivots points emerge. You can select between normal pivot points and order blocks mode. The indicator also has a variety of useful styling settings such as aligning the volume profile to the right or the left of the chart, POC Line styling and color settings for bullish & bearish volumes.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A volume profile provides an in-depth look at trading activity over a period of time by plotting a histogram on the price axis. This indicator can also give weight to volumes based on their distance to the current time, essentially determining their importance for the profile. The range which the volume profile will cover is determined by the latest pivot points. Here is how it works step-by-step :
1. Determine how much candlesticks the volume profile will cover (Analyze Bars setting)
2. Find the latest pivot points. If the mode is set to "Pivots", the pivot points are the candlesticks which has the highest / lowest wick in X amount of bars (Swing Length setting). If the mode is set to "Order Blocks", the volume profile range is the area between the latest buyside order block and the sellside order block. Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific candlestick formations on the chart. For more information about the order block detection, I suggest you checking the write-up of our "Volumized Order Blocks" script. Increasing the "Swing Length" setting is recommended when the mode is set to "Pivots", as this will help in finding stronger pivot points.
3. Make a range using the latest pivot points, then divide it into rows (Row Count setting)
4. Then for each candlestick, add it's volume to the corresponding row in the range. Note that the volume can be added into several rows if it overlaps with them all.
5. If the candlestick is a bullish candlestick, we add it's volume into the bullish volume of the row, if it's a bearish candlestick, we add it to the bearish volume of the row.
With the weighted volume mode, which is activated if "Volume Weighthing" setting is set to "Recent" or "Past", all volumes get a penalty based on their distance to the latest candletstick. For example, if the setting is set to "Recent", the latest candlestick contributes it's volume by 100% to the corresponding row, but the candlestick which is 50 candlesticks far from the current candlestick only contributes it's volume by ~17% to the row. The same applies to the "Past" setting, but in the reversed order, where past candlesticks have more priority than the current ones.
Volume contribution percent for "Recent" setting : ((100 * 0.85) / (i + 1)) + (100 * (1.0 - 0.85))
Volume contribution percent for "Past" setting : ((100 * 0.85) * ((i + 1) / N)) + (100 * (1.0 - 0.85))
Where i = candlestick index from right to left, N = total number of candlesticks analyzed by the volume profile.
The Point Of Control (POC) line is drawn from the row with the most total volume, and is generally considered as a strong level because a lot of trading volume happened on that particular row. Traders may use this line as a support & resistance level.
We believe that automatically ranging the volume profile to important pivot points will help traders see crucial volume information easier without unnecessary hassle. Traders can use this indicator to have an insight of areas which price moves quickly without much volume, or see areas that holds the price still for much longer and plan their trades accordingly.
⚙️SETTINGS

Candle Range Theory | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Candle Range Theory Indicator! This powerful tool offers a strategy built around the Candle Range Theory, which analyzes market movements through the relative size and structure of price candles. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Candle Range Theory Indicator :
Implementation of the Candle Range Theory
FVG & Order Block Entry Methods
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator operates by identifying significant price movements through the relative size and structure of candlesticks. A key part of the strategy is determining large candles based on their range compared to the Average True Range (ATR) in a higher timeframe. Once identified, a breakout of either the high wick or the low wick of the large candle is required. This breakout is considered a liquidity grab. After that, the indicator waits for confirmation through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). The confirmation structure must be the opposite direction of the breakout, for example if the high wick is broken, a bearish FVG is required for the short entry. After a confirmation signal is received, the indicator will trigger entry points based on your chosen entry method (FVG or OB), and exit points will be calculated using either a dynamic ATR-based TP/SL method or fixed percentages. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Proft, and Stop-Loss are available.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out because it combines two highly effective entry methods: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). You can choose between these strategies depending on market conditions. Additionally, the dynamic TP/SL system uses the ticker's volatility to automatically calculate stop-loss and take-profit targets. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current tiker. The Candle Range Theory approach offers more flexibility compared to traditional indicators, allowing for better customization and control based on your risk tolerance.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe: Customize the higher timeframe for analysis. Recommended combinations include M15 -> H4, H4 -> Daily, Daily -> Weekly, and Weekly -> Monthly.
HTF Candle Size: Define the size of the higher timeframe candles as Big, Normal, or Small to filter valid setups based on their range relative to ATR.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs and Order Blocks for your entry triggers.
Require Retracement: Enable this option if you want a retracement to the FVG or OB for entry confirmation.
Show HTF Candle Lines: Toggle to display the higher timeframe candle lines for better visual clarity.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Order Blocks
Swing Length: Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Smart Money Setup 04 [TradingFinder] Three Drive (Harmonic) + OB🔵 Introduction
The "Three Drive" pattern is a well-known formation in technical analysis, recognized for its ability to signal potential trend reversals in price action. Within the realm of trading, particularly in the context of "Reversal Patterns," the Three Drive pattern holds significance as a reliable indicator of shifts in market sentiment.
🟣 Bullish 3 Drive
This pattern typically manifests at a price bottom, where a sequence of lower lows suggests a prevailing negative trend. However, within the structure of the Three Drive pattern, a notable occurrence unfolds.
The second low breaches the range of the first low, followed by the third low surpassing the range of the second low. These penetrations signify a diminishing selling pressure and an emerging buying interest.
Traders often await the confirmation of the third low surpassing the second low as an entry point, with price targets set at the highs formed within the Three Drive pattern.
🟣 Bearish 3 Drive
Conversely, the Bearish Three Drive pattern emerges at a price top, characterized by a sequence of higher highs indicating an upward trend. Yet, amidst this apparent bullish momentum, a shift occurs.
The second high breaks beyond the range of the first high, succeeded by the third high exceeding the range of the second high. These breaches signify a waning buying strength and a resurgence in selling pressure.
Entry into a trade is often executed after the confirmation of the third high surpassing the second high, with targets set at the lows formed within the Three Drive pattern.
Importance :
Understanding the Three Drive pattern's significance extends beyond mere technical analysis. It bears resemblance to other established patterns, such as the Harmonic Pattern and Ending Diagonal within the Elliott Wave Theory.
Recognizing these parallels aids traders in comprehending broader market dynamics and potential price movements.
🔵 Formation of 3 Drive in Order Block Zone
The convergence of the Three Drive pattern with the concept of the Order Block Zone introduces a nuanced layer to traders' analytical approach.
In "Price Action" methodology, Order Blocks represent areas on the price chart where significant market players, such as institutional traders, have executed notable orders.
These zones often act as barriers, with price encountering resistance or support upon reaching them.
When the Three Drive pattern forms within an Order Block Zone, it signifies a confluence of market dynamics.
The completion of the pattern within this zone suggests a potential reversal in the prevailing trend, augmented by the presence of significant institutional orders.
Traders incorporate these Order Blocks into their analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction, enhancing the reliability of their trading decisions.
🔵 How to Use :
To effectively utilize the Three Drive pattern within the Order Block Zone, traders seek alignment between the completion of the pattern and the presence of significant Order Blocks.
This convergence enhances the reliability of the pattern's signals, increasing the likelihood of successful trade outcomes.
Bullish Three Drive in Demand Zone :
Bearish Three Drive in Supply Zone :
Settings :
You can set your desired "Pivot Period" via settings for the indicator to identify setups based on it.
Mastering Market Structure"Market structure first, always" - Mr. Anderson aka TrueCrypto28 right before he went on to master Kung-Fu
Understanding and identifying market structure is essential for successful and consistent profitability. No system is perfect, but trading in the direction of the prevailing market structure can reduce the likelihood of being caught severely offsides and can yield trades with tighter invalidations and greater risk-to-reward potential.
This script will automatically identify and plot the following:
Market Structure
Pivot highs and lows using the lookback left and right lengths are analyzed to identify major swing highs and lows to identify the current trading range.
Bullish structure is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows.
Bearish Structure is characterized by lower highs and lower lows.
Structure breaks when a bar closes outside the current trading range. Major swing highs and lows will update following these breaks to continue following the current price action
Current market structure bias, bullish or bearish, can be displayed in a table in the location of your choosing.
Structure is fractal, so seeing low time frame structure shift against the high time frame structure can identify the beginning of a pullback. When it realigns with the high timeframe structure, it can identify the beginning of the high time frame trend continuation. You can choose to analyze structure on any timeframe with this script and even add multiple copies of it to your chart each analyzing different a timeframes to easily find high quality trade opportunities.
Fibonacci Levels of the current trading range
These are included to help identify areas of interest for trade execution and profit levels.
We want to buy at a discount and sell at a premium. The "Wholesale Zone" can be considered below the 50% retracement level in bullish structure, or above it in a bearish structure.
When in a bullish structure, "discount" buy opportunities can be found below the 50% retracement level with the expectation of trend continuation.
In a bearish structure, more ideal "premium' sell opportunities can be found above the 50% retracement with the expectation of trend continuation.
Optimal trade entry (OTE) zone, between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement can offer a great risk-to-reward ratio for execution of a new position in trending environments.
When trading sideways in a range, opening new buy positions near the bottom of the range or new sell positions from the top of the range are preferred. Midrange 50% level commonly sees some reaction and can be used as a primary target with further targets either being the opposite end of the range or lower support levels (see order block section).
Order Blocks
New Bullish and bearish order blocks are created and plotted with every respective market structure break. They identify the price level from which the most recent leg of price action that yielded the structure break began.
In strong trending environments, these levels should continue to support or resist price. They are great areas to look to enter new positions.
Order blocks can also be used as targets for your trades to avoid giving back unrealized profits as price tends to react off of these levels.
To keep your chart clean and the order blocks relevant, an order block will be automatically deleted if price trades through and closes beyond it. Otherwise, printed order blocks will remain on your chart until either it's origin bar is out of TradingView's maximum bar history allowance or their maximum box count allowance.
Pairing these with fibonacci levels, retracements into order blocks that are in the Wholesale Zone or even the OTE zone offer higher probability trades with more favorable risk-to-reward potential.
Swing Failure
Swing failure patterns (SFPs) arise when a candle takes out a swing high or low, but fails to close beyond it.
Again, pairing these with other features of this script like range boundaries, wholesale zones, OTE zones, and order blocks can help traders identify the best times to actually execute their trade as SFPs are commonly seen at points of inflection in price action.
Moving Averages
Up to 4 moving averages from the current time frame are available. MA type and lengths can be adjusted to your preference.
Up to 4 MTF MAs. By Default this is an EMA 200 as it is commonly used for trend identification and support/resistance.
These are included for confluence of trend direction and strength.
They can also act as dynamic support and resistance and so can be useful for trade execution if price bounces or rejects off of them or targets as price may do so when it reaches them.
Additionally, alerts have been coded for the following scenarios:
MS Break alerts will trigger on bar close when a break in market structure has been confirmed.
SFP alerts will trigger on bar close when the swing failure pattern has been confirmed.
Entering OB alerts will trigger as soon as price touches the closest order block.
Entering Wholesale Zone alerts will trigger as soon as price cross the 50% retracement level. This can be used as an early alert to identify assets that have undergone a significant pullback before potential continuation in the direction of the main trend.
Entering OTE Zone alerts will trigger as soon as price crosses into the Optimal Trade Entry zone between the 61.8% and 78.6% retracement.
This script is unique in the way that it tracks market structure, automatically updates as price action continues to develop, presents high quality areas of interest, and SFPs for trend reversal and continuation. Traders will no longer need to constantly monitor their charts or exhaustively update their alerts to find good trade opportunities. This script takes care of all of it automatically. Collectively, all of the included features can be used to build a complete trading system.
ICT Turtle Soup (Riz)The ICT Turtle Soup Complete System is an advanced implementation of the Inner Circle Trader's interpretation of the classic Turtle Soup pattern, designed to identify and trade liquidity sweeps at key market levels. This strategy capitalizes on the systematic stop-loss hunting behavior of institutional traders by detecting when price temporarily breaches significant support/resistance levels to trigger retail stop-losses, then quickly reverses direction.
Core Trading Logic
Liquidity Sweep Detection Method
The strategy monitors five critical liquidity pools where retail traders commonly place stop-loss orders:
⦁ Yesterday's High/Low: Previous daily session extremes
⦁ Daily High/Low: Rolling 20-day period extremes
⦁ 4-Hour High/Low: 30-period extremes on 4H timeframe
⦁ 1-Hour High/Low: 50-period extremes on hourly timeframe
⦁ Recent High/Low: Current timeframe extremes (20-40 bars based on trading mode)
Entry Signal Generation Process
Buy Signal (Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep):
1. Price penetrates below a key support level by a minimum threshold (5-15 ticks depending on signal quality settings)
2. The penetration bar must show strong rejection with at least 30-50% of the candle's range closing back above the swept level
3. Multi-timeframe confirmation checks for structure shift on lower timeframe (break of recent swing high)
4. Confluence scoring system evaluates 7 factors, requiring minimum 3 confirmations:
⦁ Liquidity sweep detected (weighted 2x)
⦁ Higher timeframe bullish market structure
⦁ Lower timeframe bullish break of structure
⦁ Bullish Fair Value Gap presence
⦁ Bullish Order Block formation
⦁ ICT Kill Zone timing alignment
Sell Signal (Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep):
Mirror opposite of buy signal logic, detecting sweeps above resistance levels with bearish rejection.
Risk Management & Position Sizing
Stop Loss Placement:
⦁ Calculated using ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by an adaptive factor
⦁ Base multipliers: Scalping (1.0x), Day Trading (1.5x), Swing Trading (2.0x)
⦁ Further adjusted by signal quality: Conservative (-20%), Balanced (0%), Aggressive (+20%)
⦁ Positioned beyond the liquidity sweep point to avoid re-sweeping
Take Profit Targets:
⦁ TP1: 2.0R (Risk-Reward ratio)
⦁ TP2: 3.5R
⦁ TP3: 5.0R
⦁ All levels rounded to tick precision for accurate order placement
Advanced Features & Filters
Multi-Timeframe Structure Analysis
The system performs top-down analysis across three timeframes:
⦁ Higher Timeframe (HTF): Determines primary trend bias
⦁ Medium Timeframe (MTF): Confirms intermediate structure
⦁ Lower Timeframe (LTF): Identifies precise entry triggers
ICT Kill Zones
Incorporates time-based filtering for optimal trading sessions:
⦁ Asian Session (8PM-12AM UTC)
⦁ London Session (2AM-5AM UTC)
⦁ New York Session (7AM-10AM UTC)
⦁ London Close (10AM-12PM UTC)
Smart Money Concepts Integration
⦁ Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies and displays price inefficiencies that act as magnets
⦁ Order Blocks: Marks institutional accumulation/distribution zones
⦁ Mitigation Detection: Automatically removes FVGs and Order Blocks when price fills them
⦁ Duplicate Sweep Prevention: 10-bar lookback prevents multiple signals at same level
Adaptive Trading Modes
Three pre-configured modes automatically adjust all parameters:
⦁ Scalping: Tight stops, quick targets, 15-minute to 1-hour focus
⦁ Day Trading: Balanced approach, 4-hour to daily analysis
⦁ Swing Trading: Wide stops, extended targets, daily to weekly perspective
⦁ Custom Mode: Full manual control of all parameters
Signal Quality Management
⦁ Conservative: Requires 5/7 confluence factors, tighter sweep threshold (5 ticks), 50% minimum rejection
⦁ Balanced: Standard 3/7 confluence, moderate threshold (10 ticks), 30% rejection
⦁ Aggressive: Only 2/7 confluence needed, wider threshold (15 ticks), 20% rejection

How to Use This Indicator
Recommended Timeframes
⦁ Scalping Mode: 1-minute to 5-minute charts
⦁ Day Trading Mode: 5-minute to 15-minute charts
⦁ Swing Trading Mode: 1-hour to 4-hour charts
Optimal Market Conditions
⦁ Works best in ranging or trending markets with clear support/resistance levels
⦁ Most effective during high-liquidity sessions (London/New York overlap)
⦁ Avoid using during major news events unless specifically targeting news-driven sweeps
Signal Interpretation
1. Wait for triangle signal (up/down) with confluence score
2. Verify the swept level shown in the dashboard
3. Confirm risk-reward ratios match your trading plan
4. Enter at market or set limit order at indicated entry level
5. Place stop-loss and take-profit orders at displayed levels
Customization Tips
⦁ Adjust Signal Quality based on market volatility (Conservative for volatile, Aggressive for quiet)
⦁ Modify sweep threshold if getting too many/few signals
⦁ Toggle individual liquidity levels based on their relevance to your timeframe
⦁ Use Kill Zone filter for session-specific trading
Risk Disclaimer
This indicator identifies potential trade setups based on liquidity sweep patterns but does not guarantee profitable outcomes. Past performance does not indicate future results. Always use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose. The indicator should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes your own analysis and risk tolerance assessment.
Multi TF - HTF→LTF OrderblocksMulti TF — HTF→LTF Orderblocks
Identify higher-timeframe (HTF) order blocks and project them onto your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart—clean, fast, and publication-ready.
The script automatically detects swing breaks on your chosen HTF, builds the originating order block, and renders that zone on your current chart so you can execute on lower timeframes with higher-timeframe context.
--------------------
How it works
HTF swing structure is tracked via pivot highs/lows and a user-selected break confirmation (Close or Wick).
On a valid break, the script backtracks to the last opposite candle and creates the HTF order block (wick-to-wick or body-only depending on your setting).
The OB is projected to the LTF and extended bar-by-bar until:
Mitigation: price penetrates at least 50% of the zone → the box is marked “old” (dimmed) or optionally auto-deleted.
Close-break: price closes beyond the far edge → zone is optionally removed immediately.
Each zone includes a centerline and an inside label showing the original HTF (e.g., “M15”, “H1”).
Key features
True HTF→LTF overlay: trade M1/M5 with M15/H1/H4 context.
Mitigation logic (≥50%): first meaningful touch turns the zone “old” or deletes it (your choice).
Close-break handling: auto-remove zones broken by close, to keep charts clean.
Overlap control: choose how to handle overlapping zones on the same side:
Keep Latest, Union (merge), or Intersection (refine).
Wicks vs. Bodies: build zones from full candle range or just the body.
Lightweight UI: only the relevant inputs in the panel; sensible defaults.
Alert included: fires on the first 50% mitigation of any fresh zone.
Performance-friendly limits: cap the number of active zones to fit Pine limits.
Inputs (quick overview)
HTF for Order Blocks: timeframe to scan (e.g., 15, 60, 240, D).
Swing Length (Pivot L/R): pivot sensitivity for structure.
Break Confirmation: Close (recommended) or Wick.
Zones use Wicks: on/off for wick-to-wick zones.
OB Lookback before Break: how far to search for the opposite candle.
Max Active Zones: hard cap for chart cleanliness & performance.
Delete on Close-Break: remove zones that are invalidated by a close.
Delete after Mitigation: remove once a 50% touch occurs.
Handle Overlap: None, Keep Latest, Union (merge), Intersection (refine).
Colors & Border: fresh/old zone colors (default ~35% opacity) and optional borders.
Default profile (as shipped):
Break by Close, zones use wicks, Union overlap handling, 250 lookback, 250 max zones, borders off, and HTF label printed inside each zone.
How to use (suggested workflow)
Pick an HTF (e.g., H1 for intraday) and drop to your execution TF (e.g., M5/M1).
Wait for price to tap ≥50% of a fresh OB → look for your LTF trigger (CHOCH, iFVG, PA).
Place SL beyond the zone (or beyond the LTF swing) and manage to your targets (e.g., 2R–3R or to the next HTF OB).
Keep charts clean by enabling Delete on Close-Break and (optionally) Delete after Mitigation.
Alerts
“OB: Zone berührt (Erstkontakt)” — triggers on the first ≥50% mitigation of any fresh zone.
Create additional TradingView alerts with this condition to get notified in real time.
Notes & limitations
Built with request.security(..., lookahead_off) to avoid future-bar peeking; zones only form after a confirmed HTF break.
As with all pattern-based tools, use alongside your risk management and a defined entry model.
Pine has strict limits on drawings; use Max Active Zones to balance coverage and performance.

Smart Moving Concepts [GILDEX]This all-in-one indicator displays real-time market structure (internal & swing BOS / CHoCH), order blocks, premium & discount zones, equal highs & lows, and much more...allowing traders to automatically mark up their charts with widely used price action methodologies. Following the release of our Fair Value Gap script, we received numerous requests from our community to release more features in the same category.
"Smart Money Concepts" (SMC) is a fairly new yet widely used term amongst price action traders looking to more accurately navigate liquidity & find more optimal points of interest in the market. Trying to determine where institutional market participants have orders placed (buy or sell side liquidity) can be a very reasonable approach to finding more practical entries & exits based on price action.
The indicator includes alerts for the presence of swing structures and many other relevant conditions.
Features
This indicator includes many features relevant to SMC, these are highlighted below:
Full internal & swing market structure labeling in real-time
Break of Structure (BOS)
