The "Smart Money Breakouts" indicator is designed to identify breakouts based on changes in character (CHOCH) or breaks of structure (BOS) patterns, facilitating automated trading with user-defined Take Profit (TP) level.
The indicator incorporates essential elements such as volume analysis and a data table to assist traders in optimizing their strategies.
🔸Breakout Detection:
The indicator scans price movements for "Change in Character" (CHOCH) and "Break of Structure" (BOS) patterns, signaling potential breakout opportunities in the market.
🔸User-Defined TP/SL :
Traders can customize the Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) through the indicator settings, with these levels dynamically calculated based on the Average True Range (ATR). This allows for precise risk management and profit targets that adapt to market volatility. Traders can also select the lookback period for the TP/SL calculations.
🔸Volume Analysis and Trade Direction Specific Analysis:
The indicator includes a volume checker that provides valuable insights into the strength of the breakout, taking into account trade direction.
🔸If the volume label is red and the trade is long, it suggests a higher likelihood of hitting the Stop Loss (SL).
🔸If the volume label is green and the trade is long, it indicates a higher probability of hitting the Take Profit (TP).
🔸For short trades, a red volume label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting TP, while a green label suggests a higher likelihood of hitting SL.
🔸A yellow volume label suggests that the volume is inconclusive, neither favoring bullish nor bearish movements.
🔸Data Table:
The indicator features a data table that keeps track of the number of winning and losing trades for specific timeframes or configurations. It also shows the percentage of profits vs losses, and the overall profit/loss for the selected lookback period.
This table serves as a valuable tool for traders to analyze performance and discover optimal settings and timeframes.

Smart Money Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends mere technical trading strategies; it embodies a comprehensive philosophy elucidating market dynamics. Central to this concept is the acknowledgment that influential market participants manipulate price actions, presenting challenges for retail traders.
As a "retail trader", aligning your strategy with the behavior of "Smart Money," primarily market makers, is paramount. Understanding their trading patterns, which revolve around supply, demand, and market structure, forms the cornerstone of your approach. Consequently, decisions to enter trades should be informed by these considerations.
🟣 Important Note
In this setup, pattern formation revolves around the robustness of the "Stop Hunt" targeting retail traders.
When this stop hunt occurs, if the price tests below the minor pivot or above the minor pivot, a "Minor Order Block" is formed.
Similarly, if the price tests below the major pivot or above the major pivot, a "Major Order Block" is formed.
Since the price hasn't successfully broken the major pivots before breaking the Top or Bottom, it can be inferred that the minor pivots formed within a leg of price movement exhibit a "Range" structure.
For a deeper comprehension of this setup, refer to the accompanying visual aids below.

Smart Money Range [ChartPrime]The Smart Money Range indicator is designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market structure, emphasizing potential key support and resistance levels within a predefined range. This indicator is not just a visually pleasing, but also a comprehensive guide to understanding the market’s dynamics at a given level.
Key Features:
Defined Range: The indicator demarcates a clear range, highlighting support and resistance levels within it. This aids in identifying potential areas of buying and selling pressure. These are derived from highly significant areas that have been touched many times before.
Touches Counter: Underneath the support and resistance lines, there are numerical values that show the number of times price has interacted with these levels. This can provide insights into the strength or weakness of a particular level.
Zig-Zag Projections: Within the range, there's a zig-zag pattern indicating possible future touches, helping traders anticipate future price movements.
Double-Sided Profile: To the right of the range, a dual-profile is showcased. One side of the profile displays the volume traded at specific price levels, giving insights into where significant buying or selling has occurred. On the other side, it reflects the number of touches at that given price level, reinforcing the importance of particular price points.
Customizability: Users have the option to adjust the period setting, allowing them to cater the indicator to their specific trading style and configuration. Additionally, with volume levels settings, traders can adjust the number of bins in the profile for a tailored view.
Smart Money OscillatorSmart Money Oscillator
Class : oscillator
Purpose : intraday
Period : 15 min – 1 hour
Idea of the Indicator
Smart Money Oscillator is the next step in evolution of oscillators. It uses regression analysis technics to calculate the theoretical price of the asset and compare it with the actual price. This price difference is used to define whether current prices are overbought or oversold.
“Smart Money Oscillator” is very volatile and provide much more signals than traditional oscillators like RSI or Stochastic. It can be used for active trading in volatile assets like Nasdaq index.
Structure of the Indicator
Indicator consists of two oscillatory lines: main (blue colored) and signal (red colored). Overbought and oversold zones are indicated with black dotted horizontal lines.
Rules of trading
Rules of trading are typical for oscillators.
• When the oscillatory line enters the overbought zone – long positions should be closed and after line reversal short position should be opened.
• When the oscillatory line enters the oversold zone – short positions should be closed and after line reversal long position should be opened.
Signal line is used to reduce the level of noise in the oscillatory line dynamics.

Smarter MACD BandThe Smarter MACD displayed as a band instead of an oscillator. A classic MACD with average peak and dip lines. The lighter green and red horizontal lines are the average peak and dip of the entire span, respectively. The second, bolder of the two lines are the averages of the peaks and dips above and below the overall peak and dip averages. The filled in color is to help visualize these averages and possible trade setups.
LVN Smart Liquidity📊 LVN SMART LIQUIDITY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 OVERVIEW
LVN Smart Liquidity is an advanced Market Profile-based indicator that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) across multiple timeframes. Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, this tool uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculations to detect price levels where minimal trading activity occurred, revealing potential breakout zones and rapid price movement areas.
These LVN zones often behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money Concepts, representing "thin air" areas where price tends to move quickly with minimal resistance. The indicator provides dynamic zone management with an immunity period system to prevent premature zone closure.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔬 HOW IT WORKS
MARKET PROFILE TPO METHODOLOGY:
The indicator analyzes each higher timeframe period by:
1. Dividing the price range into 20 equal levels
2. Counting how many bars touched each level (TPO count)
3. Identifying levels with TPO counts below the threshold (default 30% of maximum)
4. Creating horizontal zones that extend until price touches them
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS:
• Supports up to 5 independent timeframes simultaneously
• Each timeframe generates its own LVN zones with unique colors
• Auto-timeframe mode adapts to your chart period
• Zones project from historical sessions onto current price action
SMART ZONE MANAGEMENT:
• Immunity Period: New zones are protected for N bars after creation (default 20)
• This prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within them
• Zones extend right until price touches them, then stop extending
• Historical zones remain visible for reference (optional)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
💡 WHY LVN ZONES MATTER
Low Volume Nodes represent price levels where:
✓ Price spent minimal time (rejection zones)
✓ Few market participants were active
✓ Inefficient price discovery occurred
✓ Similar to Fair Value Gaps in ICT/SMC methodology
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
• Breakout Acceleration: Price moves rapidly through LVN zones
• Profit Targets: Place targets beyond LVN zones where momentum slows
• Stop Loss Placement: Avoid placing stops inside LVN zones (price likely to continue)
• Confluence with FVG: LVN zones often align with Fair Value Gaps
• Retest Opportunities: When price revisits LVN, expect quick moves
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY FEATURES
TIMEFRAME FLEXIBILITY:
• 5 independent timeframe slots with enable/disable toggles
• Auto-mode intelligently selects higher timeframes
• Preset options: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 2H, 4H, D, W, 2W, M, 3M, 6M, 12M
VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION:
• Individual color settings for each timeframe
• Adjustable box transparency and border width
• Toggle timeframe labels and period dates on/off
• Four text size options: tiny, small, normal, large
ADVANCED CONTROLS:
• LVN Threshold: 0-50% (default 30%) - lower = fewer, stronger zones
• Immunity Period: 0-50 bars (default 20) - prevents premature closure
• Show/Hide old boxes for clean chart appearance
• Maximum 500 boxes supported per timeframe
PROFESSIONAL DISPLAY:
• Zones show timeframe label (5m, 1H, D, etc.)
• Optional period dates (dd.MM-dd.MM format)
• Boxes extend right dynamically until price touch
• Clean visual hierarchy with bordered zones
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📈 HOW TO USE
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart
2. Enable desired timeframes (TF1, TF2, etc.)
3. Adjust LVN threshold based on your trading style:
• 20-25% = Very selective (only thinnest zones)
• 30-35% = Balanced (recommended for most markets)
• 40-50% = More zones (higher sensitivity)
INTERPRETATION:
• RED/DARK ZONES = Low trading activity occurred here
• Price tends to move THROUGH these zones quickly
• Similar behavior to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money theory
• Expect acceleration when price enters LVN zones
TRADING STRATEGIES:
1. BREAKOUT TRADING:
- Wait for price to approach LVN zone
- Enter when price breaks into the zone
- Expect rapid movement through the zone
- Target next support/resistance beyond LVN
2. CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS:
- Combine with other SMC concepts (Order Blocks, FVG, Liquidity)
- LVN + FVG overlap = high-probability acceleration zone
- Use higher timeframe LVN as directional bias
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME:
- Daily LVN = major breakout zones
- 4H LVN = intraday momentum areas
- 15m LVN = scalping opportunities

📊 ORIGINALITY & UNIQUENESS
This indicator is original because:
1. TPO-BASED CALCULATION: Uses Market Profile Time-Price-Opportunity methodology instead of traditional volume analysis, making it work on all markets including those without real volume data (Forex, some indices).
2. IMMUNITY SYSTEM: Unique protection mechanism prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within zone boundaries at creation time.
3. TRUE MULTI-TIMEFRAME: Independent calculation for each timeframe with separate zone management, not simple higher timeframe projection.
4. SMART ZONE LIFECYCLE: Zones dynamically extend until price touch, then become static historical references.
5. FVG-LIKE BEHAVIOR: Bridges traditional Market Profile analysis with modern Smart Money Concepts by identifying zones that behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps.
Unlike existing LVN indicators that rely on volume data, this tool uses time-based analysis, making it universal across all market types and compatible with brokers that don't provide accurate volume information.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📚 TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
MARKET PROFILE THEORY:
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile analyzes market behavior by examining price and time relationships. Low Volume Nodes in traditional profile represent areas where market participants showed minimal interest.
TPO (TIME PRICE OPPORTUNITY):
Instead of counting volume, TPO counts how many time periods (bars) touched each price level. This approach:
• Works on all markets regardless of volume data quality
• Reflects actual time-based market acceptance/rejection
• Reveals psychological price levels through time distribution
CONNECTION TO SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in ICT methodology represent similar inefficiencies:
• Areas where price moved too quickly
• Imbalances in buying/selling pressure
• Zones that price may revisit or accelerate through
• LVN zones often overlap with FVG locations
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎓 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
To maximize this indicator's effectiveness, study:
• Market Profile fundamentals (TPO, POC, Value Area)
• Smart Money Concepts (FVG, Order Blocks, Liquidity)
• Multi-timeframe analysis techniques
• Volume Profile comparison (understand the difference)
COMPANION INDICATOR:
Consider using "HVN Smart Liquidity" (opposite concept) to identify both high and low volume zones for complete Market Profile analysis.

HVN Smart Liquidity📊 What the Indicator Does
HVN Smart Liquidity is a professional tool for identifying institutional liquidity zones based on Market Profile analysis and High Volume Nodes (HVN). The indicator visualizes dynamic zones where the greatest trading activity is concentrated, using TPO (Time Price Opportunity) methodology to reveal levels where major market participants place their positions.
🎯 Originality and Advantages
Unlike standard volume indicators or static support/resistance levels, HVN Smart Liquidity offers a unique combination of features:
Multi-timeframe analysis: simultaneous calculation of HVN zones across 4 different timeframes with automatic adaptation to the current chart
Dynamic zone behavior: boxes automatically contract when price moves inside the zone and are deleted upon complete breakout, reflecting real institutional liquidity dynamics
Precise TPO calculation: instead of simple volume counting, uses Market Profile methodology with range division into 20 price channels
Intelligent filtering: adjustable HVN threshold (default 70% of maximum TPO) filters out insignificant zones and shows only critically important levels
⚙️ How the Indicator Works
1. Market Profile Data Collection
The indicator tracks bar formation on selected timeframes. For each completed period:
High-Low range is recorded
Number of bars on current chart timeframe is counted
Range is divided into 20 equal price channels
2. TPO (Time Price Opportunity) Calculation
For each of the 20 channels, the indicator counts how many bars touched that price range. This provides distribution of trading activity by price — the foundation of Market Profile methodology. The get_tpo() function checks the intersection of each bar's Low-High range with channel boundaries.
3. HVN Zone Identification
The algorithm identifies High Volume Nodes — areas where TPO exceeds the specified threshold (default 70% of maximum value). Adjacent channels exceeding the threshold are merged into a single liquidity zone. This creates visual boxes showing where price spent maximum time and where large positions are concentrated.
4. Dynamic Zone Management
After creation, HVN zones begin their own lifecycle:
Contraction on touch: when price enters the zone, the box contracts from the side nearest to current price, showing partial liquidity absorption
Deletion on breakout: if price breaks through upper or lower boundary, or passes through the zone in one bar, the box is completely deleted — liquidity is exhausted
Current TF projection: zones extend right (extend.right), showing level relevance
🔧 How to Use
Basic Setup:
Timeframe selection: enable desired timeframes (TF1-TF4) via checkboxes. Recommended to use 2-3 timeframes for different trading styles
Auto mode: when selecting 'Auto', the indicator automatically chooses higher timeframe depending on current chart (e.g., on M5 → selects H2, on H1 → selects D)
Color differentiation: configure different colors for each timeframe to distinguish short-term and long-term liquidity zones
Trading Strategies:
Strategy 1: HVN Bounce
Look for entry points when price approaches an HVN zone from a higher timeframe. If the zone begins to contract (price inside) but isn't broken — high probability of bounce. Use lower timeframe zones for precise entry timing.
Strategy 2: Breakout and Retest
After complete HVN zone breakout (box disappeared), wait for price to return to the level of the former zone. Boundaries of deleted zones often become strong support/resistance levels for retests.
Strategy 3: Timeframe Confluence
The strongest signals occur when HVN zones from different timeframes coincide or are close to each other. This shows consistency of institutional levels across different time scales.
Parameter Optimization:
HVN Threshold (70%): increasing to 80-90% gives fewer but more significant zones; decreasing to 50-60% shows more potential levels
Show Old Boxes: disable for clean chart (only last 50 zones shown), enable for historical analysis
Border Width: increase border width for better visibility on busy charts
💡 Smart Money Concept
The indicator is based on understanding that institutional participants (Smart Money) leave traces of their activity in volume distribution across price levels. High Volume Nodes represent zones where:
Market makers place limit orders to provide liquidity
Institutional traders accumulate or distribute large positions
Fair Value prices form after volatile movements
By tracking the dynamics of these zones, traders can "see" the intentions of major players and trade alongside institutional flow.
📈 Applicability
The indicator is universal and works on all market types:
Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins
Forex: major and cross pairs
Stocks: equities, indices
Futures: commodity and financial futures
Timeframes: from M1 to Monthly. Optimal results on M5-H4 for intraday and H4-D for swing trading.
⚠️ Important Notes
The indicator requires history accumulation — give it time on first bars of new periods
On low-liquidity instruments or exotic pairs, HVN zone quality may be lower
Use the indicator in combination with other analysis methods (price action, support/resistance, trends)
Maximum box count limited to 500 — during extended operation, old zones are automatically deleted
🔬 Technical Details
Pine Script version: v5
Type: overlay indicator
Computational complexity: medium (uses loops for TPO calculations)
Repainting: minimal, only when new zones form on higher TF

MA SMART Angle
### 📊 WHAT IS MA SMART ANGLE?
**MA SMART Angle** is an advanced momentum and trend detection indicator that analyzes the angles (slopes) of multiple moving averages to generate clear, non-repainting BUY and SELL signals.
**Original Concept Credit:** This indicator builds upon the "MA Angles" concept originally created by **JD** (also known as Duyck). The core angle calculation methodology and Jurik Moving Average (JMA) implementation by **Everget** are preserved from the original open-source work. The angle calculation formula was contributed by **KyJ**. This enhanced version is published with respect to the open-source nature of the original indicator.
Original indicator reference: "ma angles - JD" by Duyck
---
## 🎯 ORIGINALITY & VALUE PROPOSITION
### **What Makes This Different from the Original:**
While the original "MA Angles" by **JD** provided excellent angle visualization, it lacked actionable entry signals. **MA SMART Angle** addresses this by adding:
**1. Clear Entry/Exit Signals**
- Explicit BUY/SELL arrows based on angle crossovers, momentum confirmation, and MA alignment
- No guessing when to enter trades - the indicator tells you exactly when conditions align
**2. Non-Repainting Logic**
- All signals use confirmed historical data (shifted by 2 bars minimum)
- Critical for backtesting reliability and live trading confidence
- Original indicator could repaint signals on current bar
**3. Dual Signal System**
- **Simple Mode:** More frequent signals based on angle crossovers + momentum (for active traders)
- **Strict Mode:** Requires full multi-MA alignment + momentum confirmation (for conservative traders)
- Adaptable to different trading styles and risk tolerances
**4. Smart Signal Filtering**
- **Anti-spam cooldown:** Prevents duplicate signals within configurable bar count
- **No-trade zone detection:** Filters out low-conviction sideways markets automatically
- **Multi-timeframe MA alignment:** Ensures all moving averages agree on direction before signaling
**5. Enhanced Visualization**
- Large, clear BUY/SELL arrows with descriptive labels
- Color-coded backgrounds for market states (trending vs. ranging)
- Momentum histogram showing acceleration/deceleration in real-time
- Live status table displaying trend strength, angle value, momentum, and MA alignment
**6. Professional Alert System**
- Four distinct alert conditions: BUY Signal, SELL Signal, Strong BUY, Strong SELL
- Enables automated trade notifications and strategy integration
**7. Modified MA Periods**
- Original used EMA(27), EMA(83), EMA(278)
- Enhanced version uses faster EMA(3), EMA(8), EMA(13) for more responsive signals
- Better suited for modern volatile markets and shorter timeframes
---
## 📐 HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
### **Core Methodology:**
The indicator calculates angles (slopes) for five key moving averages:
- **JMA (Jurik Moving Average)** - Smooth, lag-reduced trend line (original implementation by **Everget**)
- **JMA Fast** - Responsive momentum indicator with higher power parameter
- **MA27 (EMA 3)** - Primary fast-moving average for signal generation
- **MA83 (EMA 8)** - Medium-term trend confirmation
- **MA278 (EMA 13)** - Slower trend filter
### **Angle Calculation Formula (by KyJ):**
```
angle = arctan((MA - MA ) / ATR(14)) × (180 / π)
```
**Why ATR normalization?**
- Makes angles comparable across different instruments (forex, stocks, crypto)
- Makes angles comparable across different timeframes
- Accounts for volatility - a 10-point move in different assets has different significance
**Angle Interpretation:**
- **> 15°** = Strong trend (momentum accelerating)
- **0° to 15°** = Weak trend (momentum present but moderate)
- **-2° to +2°** = No-trade zone (sideways/choppy market)
- **< -15°** = Strong downtrend
### **Signal Generation Logic:**
#### **BUY Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses above 0° (upward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs (3, 8, 13) pointing upward (trend alignment confirmed)
3. Momentum is positive for 2+ bars (acceleration, not deceleration)
4. Angle exceeds minimum threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed (prevents signal spam)
#### **SELL Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses below 0° (downward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs pointing downward (downtrend alignment)
3. Momentum is negative for 2+ bars
4. Angle below negative threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed
#### **Strong BUY+ / SELL+ Signals:**
Additional entry opportunities when JMA Fast crosses JMA Slow while maintaining strong directional angle - indicates momentum acceleration within established trend.

- **Whipsaw Risk:** Can generate false signals in volatile, directionless markets
- **Optimization Required:** Parameters need adjustment for different assets
- **Not a Complete System:** Should be combined with risk management, position sizing, and other analysis
**Best Performance Conditions:**
- Strong trending markets (crypto bull runs, stock breakouts)
- Liquid instruments (major forex pairs, large-cap stocks)
- Appropriate timeframe selection (match to trading style)
- Used alongside support/resistance and volume analysis

## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator serves as an excellent learning tool for understanding:
**1. Angle-Based Momentum Analysis**
- Traditional indicators show MA crossovers
- This shows the *rate of change* (velocity) of MAs
- Teaches traders to think in terms of momentum acceleration
**2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**
- Shows how fast, medium, and slow MAs interact
- Demonstrates importance of trend alignment
- Helps develop patience for high-probability setups
**3. Signal Quality vs. Quantity Tradeoff**
- Simple mode = more signals, more noise
- Strict mode = fewer signals, higher quality
- Teaches discretionary filtering skills
**4. Market State Recognition**
- Visual distinction between trending and ranging markets
- Helps traders avoid trading choppy conditions
- Develops "market context" awareness
---
## 🔄 DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER MA INDICATORS
**vs. Traditional MA Crossovers:**
- Measures momentum (angle) rather than just price crossing MA
- Provides earlier signals as angles change before price crosses
- Filters better for sideways markets using no-trade zones
**vs. MACD:**
- Uses multiple MAs instead of just two
- ATR normalization makes it universal across instruments
- Visual angle representation more intuitive than histogram
**vs. Supertrend:**
- Not based on ATR bands but on MA slope analysis
- Provides graduated strength indication (not just binary trend)
- Less prone to whipsaw in low volatility
**vs. Original "MA Angles" by JD:**
- Adds explicit entry/exit signals (original had none)
- Implements no-repaint logic for reliability
- Includes signal filtering and quality controls
- Provides dual signal systems (Simple/Strict)
- Enhanced visualization and status monitoring
- Uses faster MA periods (3/8/13 vs 27/83/278) for modern markets

Smart Money Proxy IndexOverview
The Smart Money Proxy Index (SMPI) is an educational tool that attempts to identify potential institutional-style behavior patterns using publicly available market data. This comprehensive tool combines multiple institutional analysis techniques into a single, easy-to-read 0-100 oscillator.
Important Disclaimer
This is an educational proxy indicator that analyzes volume and price patterns. It cannot identify actual institutional trading activity and should not be interpreted as tracking real "smart money." Use for educational purposes and combine with other analysis methods.
Inspiration & Methodology
This indicator is inspired by MAPsignals' Big Money Index (BMI) methodology but uses publicly available price and volume data with original calculations. This is an independent educational interpretation designed to teach smart money concepts to retail traders.
What It Analyzes
SMPI tracks potential "smart money" activity by combining:
Block Trading Detection - Identifies unusual volume surges with significant price impact
Money Flow Analysis - Volume-weighted price pressure using Money Flow Index
Accumulation/Distribution Patterns - Modified On-Balance Volume signals
Institutional Control Proxy - End-of-day positioning and control analysis
Key Features

Smart Structure Breaks & Order BlocksOverview (What it does)
The indicator “Smart Structure Breaks & Order Blocks” detects market structure using swing highs and lows, identifies Break of Structure (BOS) events, and automatically draws order blocks (OBs) from the origin candle. These zones extend to the right and change color/outline when mitigated or invalidated. By formalizing and automating part of discretionary analysis, it provides consistent zone recognition.
Main Components
Swing Detection: ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow identify confirmed swing points.
BOS Detection: Determines if the recent swing high/low is broken by close (strict mode) or crossover.
OB Creation: After a BOS, the opposite candle (bearish for bullish BOS, bullish for bearish BOS) is used to generate an order block zone.
Zone Management: Limits the number of zones, extends them to the right, and tracks tagged (mitigated) or invalidated states.
Input Parameters
Left/Right Pivot (default 6/6): Number of bars required on each side to confirm a swing. Higher values = smoother swings.
Max Zones (default 4): Maximum zones stored per direction (bull/bear). Oldest zones are overwritten.
Zone Confirmation Lookback (default 3): Ensures OB origin candle validity by checking recent highs/lows.
Show Swing Points (default ON): Displays triangles on swing highs/lows.
Require close for BOS? (default ON): Strict BOS (close required) vs loose BOS (line crossover).
Use candle body for zones (default OFF): Zones drawn from candle body (ON) or wick (OFF).
Signal Definition & Logic
Swing Updates: Latest confirmed pivots update lastHighLevel / lastLowLevel.
BOS (Break of Structure):
Bullish – close breaks last swing high.
Bearish – close breaks last swing low.
Only one valid BOS per swing (avoids duplicates).
OB Detection:
Bullish BOS → previous bearish candle with lowest low forms the OB.
Bearish BOS → previous bullish candle with highest high forms the OB.
Zones: Bull = green, Bear = red, semi-transparent, extended to the right.
Zone States:
Mitigated: Price touches the zone → border highlighted.
Invalidated:
Bull zone → close below → turns red.
Bear zone → close above → turns green.
Chart Appearance
Swing High: red triangle above bar
Swing Low: green triangle below bar
Bull OB: green zone (border highlighted on touch)
Bear OB: red zone (border highlighted on touch)
Invalid Zones: Bull zones turn reddish, Bear zones turn greenish
Practical Use (Trading Assistance)
Trend Following Entries: Buy pullbacks into green OBs in uptrends, sell rallies into red OBs in downtrends.
Focus on First Touch: First mitigation after BOS often has higher reaction probability.
Confluence: Combine with higher timeframe trend, volume, session levels, key price levels (previous highs/lows, VWAP, etc.).
Stops/Targets:
Bull – stop below zone, partial take profit at swing high or resistance.
Bear – stop above zone, partial take profit at swing low or support.
Parameter Tuning (per market/timeframe)
Pivot (6/6 → 4/4/8/8): Lower for scalping (3–5), medium for day trading (5–8), higher for swing trading (8–14). Increase to reduce noise.
Strict Break: ON to reduce false breaks in ranging markets; OFF for earlier signals.
Body Zones: ON for assets with long wicks, OFF for cleaner OBs in liquid instruments.
Zone Confirmation (default 3): Increase for stricter OB origin, fewer zones.
Max Zones (default 4 → 6–10): Increase for higher volatility, decrease to avoid clutter.
Strengths
Standardizes BOS and OB detection that is usually subjective.
Tracks mitigation and invalidation automatically.
Adaptable: allows body/wick zone switching for different instruments.
Limitations
Pivot-based: Signals appear only after pivots confirm (slight lag).
Zones reflect past balance: Can fail after new events (news, earnings, macro data).
Range-heavy markets: More false BOS; consider stricter settings.
Backtesting: This script is for drawing/visual aid; trading rules must be defined separately.
Workflow Example
Identify higher timeframe trend (4H/Daily).
On lower TF (15–60m), wait for BOS and new OB.
Enter on first mitigation with confirmation candle.
Stop beyond zone; targets based on R multiples and swing points.
FAQ
Q: Why are zones invalidated quickly?
A: Flow reversal after BOS. Adjust pivots higher, enable Strict mode, or switch to Body zones to reduce noise.
Q: What does “tagged” mean?
A: Price touched the zone once = mitigated. Implies some orders in that zone may have been filled.
Q: Body or Wick zones?
A: Wick zones are fine in clean markets. For volatile pairs with long wicks, body zones provide more realistic areas.
Customization Tips (Code perspective)
Zone storage: Currently ring buffer ((idx+1) % zoneLimit). Could prioritize keeping unmitigated zones.
Automated testing: Add strategy.entry/exit for rule-based backtests.
Multi-timeframe: Use request.security() for higher timeframe swings/BOS.
Visualization: Add labels for BOS bars, tag zones with IDs, count touches.
Summary
This indicator formalizes the cycle Swing → BOS → OB creation → Mitigation/Invalidation, providing consistent structure analysis and zone tracking. By tuning sensitivity and strictness, and combining with higher timeframe context, it enhances pullback/continuation trading setups. Always combine with proper risk management.
Smart Candle SizeIndicator Description: Smart Candle Size
The Smart Candle Size is a technical indicator designed for traders who seek to analyze market momentum and optimize their strategies based on candle size, trend direction, and risk management parameters. This indicator combines several analytical tools to offer a deeper understanding of price movements, facilitating the identification of potential trading opportunities.
What Does the Indicator Do?
The indicator analyzes each candle in relation to the previous one, evaluating whether the size and position of the current candle meet certain predefined criteria. By incorporating an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a trend filter and adjusting variables such as candle size proportion, maximum candle size, and minimum distance from the EMA, the indicator helps identify market conditions that may be favorable for entering or exiting a trade.
How Does the Indicator Work?
Candle Size Comparison:
Size Proportion: The indicator compares the size of the current candle to the previous one. If the current candle is proportionally larger based on the set value (e.g., 1.3 times larger), it is considered significant.
Trend Filter with EMA:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): An adjustable-length EMA is used to determine the general market trend. Bullish signals are considered when the price is above the EMA, and bearish signals when it is below.
Additional Filters:
Maximum Candle Size: Limits the size of candles considered to avoid the influence of unusually large candles.
Minimum Distance from EMA: Ensures that the price is sufficiently away from the EMA to avoid signals in congested zones.
Calculation of Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:
Based on the configured ticks, the indicator calculates and visually displays the SL and TP levels on the chart.
Visual Signals:
Candle Coloring: Candles that meet the criteria are dynamically colored (green for bullish and red for bearish).
Buy/Sell Labels: "W" labels are displayed for possible bullish opportunities and "X" for bearish ones.
EMA Visualization:
A shading is added around the EMA to provide an additional visual reference on the trend.
How to Use the Indicator?
Parameter Configuration:
Adjust the Size Proportion to set how much larger the current candle must be compared to the previous one.
Define the EMA Length according to your trading strategy.
Set the Maximum Candle Size and Minimum Distance from EMA to filter out unwanted signals.
Configure the SL and TP Ticks to automatically calculate the stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Signal Interpretation:
Green Candles (Bullish): Indicate possible buying opportunities if all criteria are met.
Red Candles (Bearish): Indicate possible short-selling opportunities.
Use the "W" and "X" labels as additional visual confirmation.
Trade Planning:
Use the SL and TP levels displayed on the chart to plan your orders and manage risk.
Visual Customization:
Select the Chart Mode (Light or Dark) to adapt the indicator to your visual preferences.
Example Configuration for AUDJPY
As an example, here is a configuration applied to the AUDJPY currency pair:
Size Proportion: 1.3
EMA Length: 27
Maximum Candle Size: 120
Minimum Distance from EMA: 141
SL Ticks: 100
TP Ticks: 300
This configuration can be used as a starting point and adjusted according to the specific characteristics of AUDJPY and the individual trader's preferences.
What Makes This Indicator Original?
Integration of Multiple Filters: Combines candle size comparison with trend and volatility filters to offer more refined signals.
Extensive Customization: Allows adjustment of multiple parameters to suit different assets and trading styles.
Intuitive Visualization: Provides clear visual signals and SL/TP levels directly on the chart, facilitating decision-making.
Built-in Risk Management: By calculating and displaying SL and TP levels, the indicator aids in planning and risk management for each trade.
Additional Considerations
Not a Standalone Indicator: It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analyses for better decision-making.
Prior Testing: Before using it on a real account, it is advisable to test the indicator on a demo account to familiarize yourself with its functionality and adjust parameters as necessary.
Limitations: Like all technical indicators, it does not guarantee results and should be used as a support tool.
Conclusion
The Smart Candle Size is a versatile tool that offers a combination of price action analysis and risk management. By providing significant details on how it works and how it can be customized, traders can leverage its features to complement their trading strategies across different markets and time frames.
Compatible with TradingView and ready for immediate use, this indicator can be a valuable addition to your set of trading tools.
Smart Money Index (SMI)It came to my attention that one very common implementation of SMI was incorrect; rather than subtracting the first hour delta and adding the last hour delta it subtracts the whole day delta and adds the last 30m delta. While this indicator might have had some use, it is not what I understand to be the actual Smart Money Index and so I post this as a correction for use in other scripts.
Smart labelling - Candlestick FunctionOftentimes a single look at the candlestick configuration happens to be enough to understand what is going on. The chandlestick function is an experiment in smart labelling that produces candles for various time frames, not only for the fixed 1m, 3m , 5m, 15m, etc. ones, and helps in decision-making when eye-balling the chart. This function generates up to 12 last candlesticks , which is generally more than enough.
Mind that since this is an experiment, the function does not cover all possible combinations. In some time frames the produced candles overlap. This is a todo item for those who are unterested. For instance, the current version covers the following TFs:
Chart - TF in the script
1m - 1-20,24,30,32
3m - 1-10
5m - 1-4,6,9,12,18,36
15m - 1-4,6,12
Tested chart TFs: 1m, 3m ,5m,15m. Tested securities: BTCUSD , EURUSD

SmartPlusSmartPlus
Overview
The SmartPlus indicator is a complete framework for intraday traders. It combines key market reference points (VWAP, moving averages, and the first 15-minute high/low range) with predictive levels based on historical daily moves. Together, these elements allow traders to build directional bias, spot breakouts, and manage risk throughout the session.
Key Features
1. VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)
- Plots the intraday VWAP in real time.
- VWAP acts as a central “fair value” reference point for institutional order flow.
- Price trading above VWAP generally suggests bullish bias, while below VWAP leans bearish.
2. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
- Two configurable EMAs are included:
- Fast EMA (default: 21 periods)
- Slow EMA (default: 34 periods)
- Each EMA is plotted with a single, user-selectable color for clarity.
- Crossovers or alignment between price, VWAP, and EMAs help define market structure.
3. Smart Bar Coloring
- Candles automatically change color when conditions align:
- Bull Zone: Price above VWAP, Fast EMA, and Slow EMA.
- Bear Zone: Price below VWAP, Fast EMA, and Slow EMA.
- Fluorescent bar coloring helps highlight momentum zones visually without additional analysis.
4. First 15-Minute High/Low/Mid (Automatic)
- Automatically detects the first 15 minutes of each new trading day (no manual input required).
- Plots horizontal lines for:
- First 15-Minute High (green)
- First 15-Minute Low (red)
- Midpoint of that range (gray)
- Once the initial 15-minute window ends, these levels remain projected throughout the session as breakout or support/resistance zones.
- Alerts trigger when price breaks above the high or below the low after the window.
5. Daily Support/Resistance Forecast
- Uses a rolling lookback of recent daily ranges (default: 126 days).
- Tracks average up moves and down moves from the daily open.
- Optionally incorporates standard deviation for wider confidence bands.
- Plots forecast levels above/below the current day’s open for reference.
Trading Logic (How to Use)
- Bullish Bias:
- Price is above VWAP, above both EMAs, and ideally above the first 15-minute high.
- This setup suggests trend continuation or breakout opportunities on the long side.
- Bearish Bias:
- Price is below VWAP, below both EMAs, and ideally below the first 15-minute low.
- This setup suggests downward pressure or breakout opportunities on the short side.
- Neutral / Caution Zone:
- Price caught between VWAP, EMAs, or inside the 15-minute range often signals indecision.
- Best to wait for confirmation or breakout before committing to trades.
Expectations After Using It
- The script provides context and structure, not trading signals.
- It highlights where price is relative to meaningful market levels so traders can act with greater confidence.
- Combining VWAP, EMAs, and the 15-minute breakout framework helps traders stay aligned with the market’s natural rhythm.

SMART4TRADER - Bill Williams Market Facilitation IndexThis indicator is written by 🔴 correct formula and for the correctness of the data is used by the Security function for the correct data request name from the open schedule, and not as usual with a similar ticker.
1️⃣ volume grows and MFI grows ➖ Green bar occurs when a growing volume and market dynamics. It signals us forward (down or up), that is, the number of transactions in the market is growing and they move the market in one specific side. Usually this bar is useless to enter the market, as the movement is already going, but it is very useful to determine the correctness of our entrance. In other words, if we are already in the market and see "green light" when a market hiking, for example, down, then we can be confident in the correctness of our entrance.
2️⃣ volume decreases and MFI decreases - Fuchsia (pink) ➖ "fading" bar appears in case of falling interest in the market in players, that is, the number of transactions (teak volume) decreases, and the market freezes (motion slows down). In trade, this bar is practically useless, although it often appears on the top of the first wave of Elliot.
3️⃣ volume decreases, and MFI grows - gray ➖ "fake" bar manifests when the activity of the market is growing with a decrease in volumes. This is an ambiguous bar and no sense from him. It is just necessary to understand that the market is moving, despite the decline in the activity of participants.
4️⃣ volume is growing, and MFI is reduced - blue ➖ "squatting" bar, perhaps the most interesting bar, since all movements end in a squatting bar, which may be, but not necessarily at the very bottom (vertex), and maybe near (one two bars). As stated in the book of Bill Williams, all the main trends end with the "squat" bar, which is among one of the three bars in the top or base.
--------------------------------
Этот индикатор написано по 🔴ПРАВИЛЬНОЙ ФОРМУЛЕ🔴 и для корректности данных используется функция SECURITY для правильного запроса данных имено с открытого графика, а не как обычно с похожего тикера.
1️⃣ Объем растет и MFI растет ➖ зеленый бар возникает при растущем объеме и динамике рынка. Он сигнализирует нам движение вперед (вниз или вверх), то есть количество сделок на рынке растет и они двигают рынок в одну определенную сторону. Обычно этот бар бесполезен для входа в рынок, так как движение уже идет, но он очень полезен для определения правильности нашего входа. Иными словами, если мы уже в рынке и видим «зеленый свет» при походе рынка, например, вниз, то мы можем быть уверенным в правильности нашего входа.
2️⃣ Объем снижается и MFI снижается – фуксия (розовый) ➖ «Увядающий» бар появляется в случае падения интереса к рынку у игроков, то есть количество сделок (тиковый объем) уменьшается, и рынок замирает (движение замедляется). В торговле этот бар практически бесполезен, хотя он часто появляется на вершине первой волны Эллиота.
3️⃣ Объем снижается, а MFI растет – серый ➖ «Фальшивый» бар проявляется, когда активность рынка растет при снижении объемов. Это неоднозначный бар и толку от него особо никакого нет. Просто надо понимать, что рынок движется, несмотря на снижение активности участников.
4️⃣ Объем растет, а MFI снижается – синий ➖ «Приседающий» бар, пожалуй, самый интересный бар, так как все движения заканчиваются приседающим баром, который может быть, но не обязательно в самом дне (вершине), а может быть рядом (один-два бара). Как говорится в книге Билла Вильямса, все основные тренды заканчиваются «приседающим» баром, который находится среди одного из трех баров в вершине или основании.
