🔶 USAGE
By default, the indicator displays each feature relevant to the most recent price variations in order to avoid clutter on the chart & to provide a very similar experience to how a user would contruct ICT Concepts by hand.
Users can use the historical mode in the settings to see historical market structure/imbalances. The ICT Concepts indicator has various use cases, below we outline many examples of how a trader could find usage of the features together.
In the above image we can see price took out Sellside liquidity, filled two bearish FVGs, a market structure shift, which then led to a clean retest of a bullish FVG as a clean setup to target the order block above.
Price then fills the OB which creates a breaker level as seen in yellow.
Broken OBs can be useful for a trader using the ICT Concepts indicator as it marks a level where orders have now been filled, indicating a solidified level that has proved itself as an area of liquidity. In the image above we can see a trade setup using a broken bearish OB as a potential entry level.
We can see the New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) above was an optimal level to target considering price may tend to fill / react off of these levels according to ICT.
In the next image above, we have another example of various use cases where the ICT Concepts indicator hypothetically allow traders to find key levels & find optimal entry points using market structure.
In the image above we can see a bearish Market Structure Shift (MSS) is confirmed, indicating a potential trade setup for targeting the Balanced Price Range imbalance (BPR) below with a stop loss above the buyside liquidity.
Although what we are demonstrating here is a hindsight example, it shows the potential usage this toolkit gives you for creating trading plans based on ICT Concepts.
Same chart but playing out the history further we can see directly after price came down to the Sellside liquidity & swept below it...
Then by enabling IFVGs in the settings, we can see the IFVG retests alongside the Sellside & Buyside liquidity acting in confluence.
Which allows us to see a great bullish structure in the market with various key levels for potential entries.
Here we can see a potential bullish setup as price has taken out a previous Sellside liquidity zone and is now retesting a NWOG + Volume Imbalance.
Users also have the option to display Fibonacci retracements based on market structure, order blocks, and imbalance areas, which can help place limit/stop orders more effectively as well as finding optimal points of interest beyond what the primary ICT Concepts features can generate for a trader.
In the above image we can see the Fibonacci extension was selected to be based on the NWOG giving us some upside levels above the buyside liquidity.
🔶 DETAILS
Each feature within the ICT Concepts indicator is described in the sub sections below.
🔹 Market Structure
Market structure labels are constructed from price breaking a prior swing point. This allows a user to determine the current market trend based on the price action.
There are two types of Market Structure labels included:
Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Break Of Structure (BOS)
A MSS occurs when price breaks a swing low in an uptrend or a swing high in a downtrend, highlighting a potential reversal. This is often labeled as "CHoCH", but ICT specifies it as MSS.
On the other hand, BOS labels occur when price breaks a swing high in an uptrend or a swing low in a downtrend. The occurrence of these particular swing points is caused by retracements (inducements) that highlights liquidity hunting in lower timeframes.
🔹 Order Blocks
More significant market participants (institutions) with the ability of placing large orders in the market will generally place a sequence of individual trades spread out in time. This is referred as executing what is called a "meta-order".
Order blocks highlight the area where potential meta-orders are executed. Bullish order blocks are located near local bottoms in an uptrend while bearish order blocks are located near local tops in a downtrend.
When price mitigates (breaks out) an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
🔹 Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside / Sellside liquidity levels highlight price levels where market participants might place limit/stop orders.
Buyside liquidity levels will regroup the stoploss orders of short traders as well as limit orders of long traders, while Sellside liquidity levels will regroup the stoploss orders of long traders as well as limit orders of short traders.
These levels can play different roles. More informed market participants might view these levels as source of liquidity, and once liquidity over a specific level is reduced it will be found in another area.
🔹 Imbalances
Imbalances highlight disparities between the bid/ask, these can also be defined as inefficiencies, which would suggest that not all available information is reflected by the price and would as such provide potential trading opportunities.
It is common for price to "rebalance" and seek to come back to a previous imbalance area.
ICT highlights multiple imbalance formations:
Fair Value Gaps: A three candle formation where the candle shadows adjacent to the central candle do not overlap, this highlights a gap area.
Implied Fair Value Gaps: Unlike the fair value gap the implied fair value gap has candle shadows adjacent to the central candle overlapping. The gap area is constructed from the average between the respective shadow and the nearest extremity of their candle body.
Balanced Price Range: Balanced price ranges occur when a fair value gap overlaps a previous fair value gap, with the overlapping area resulting in the imbalance area.
Volume Imbalance: Volume imbalances highlight gaps between the opening price and closing price with existing trading activity (the low/high overlap the previous high/low).
Opening Gap: Unlike volume imbalances opening gaps highlight areas with no trading activity. The low/high does not reach previous high/low, highlighting a "void" area.
🔹 Displacement
Displacements are scenarios where price forms successive candles of the same sentiment (bullish/bearish) with large bodies and short shadows.
These can more technically be identified by positive auto correlation (a close to open change is more likely to be followed by a change of the same sign) as well as volatility clustering (large changes are followed by large changes).
Displacements can be the cause for the formation of imbalances as well as market structure, these can be caused by the full execution of a meta order.
🔹 Kill Zones
Killzones represent different time intervals that aims at offering optimal trade entries. Killzones include:
- New York Killzone (7:9 ET)
- London Open Killzone (2:5 ET)
- London Close Killzone (10:12 ET)
- Asian Killzone (20:00 ET)
🔶 Conclusion & Supplementary Material
This script aims to emulate how a trader would draw each of the covered features on their chart in the most precise representation to how it's actually taught by ICT directly.
There are many parallels between ICT Concepts and Smart Money Concepts that we released in 2022 which has a more general & simpler usage:
ICT Concepts, however, is more specifically aligned toward the community's interpretation of how to analyze price 'based on ICT', rather than displaying features to have a more classic interpretation for a technical analyst.

ICT NWOG/NDOG & EHPDA [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays New Week/Day Opening Gaps alongside Event Horizon PD Arrays which were conceptualized by a trader, ICT.
🔶 SETTINGS
Show: Determines if new week opening gaps (NWOG) or new day opening gaps (NDOG) are shown.
Amount: Controls the amount of most recent NWOGs/NDOGs to display on the chart.
Show EHPDA: Displays Event Horizons PD arrays.
🔶 USAGE
New Week/Day Opening Gaps are generally used as potential support or resistance areas.
Trader ICT describes that under consolidating market conditions, price tends to revert towards the opening gap area. This is consistent with other analysis suggesting that price has a tendency to come back toward gaps, ultimately looking to fill them.
ICT also introduces a novel concept, the "Event Horizon PD Array" (EHPDA) which are intermediary levels constructed from the average between the neighboring NWOGs or NDOGs.
EHPDA's are described by ICT as levels that "will not allow price to escape to the NWOG that will create a surge towards the NWOG it got too "close" to but has not yet reached."
Smart Money Concepts Probability (Expo)█ Overview
The Smart Money Concept Probability (Expo) is an indicator developed to track the actions of institutional investors, commonly known as "smart money." This tool calculates the likelihood of smart money being actively engaged in buying or selling within the market, referred to as the "smart money order flow."
The indicator measures the probability of three key events: Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS ). These probabilities are displayed as percentages alongside their respective levels, providing a straightforward and immediate understanding of the likelihood of smart money order flow.
Finally, the backtested results are shown in a table, which gives traders an understanding of the historical performance of the current order flow direction.
█ Calculations
The algorithm individually computes the likelihood of the events ( CHoCH , SMS , and BMS ). A positive score is assigned for events where the price successfully breaks through the level with the highest probability, and a negative score when the price fails to do so. By doing so, the algorithm determines the probability of each event occurring and calculates the total profitability derived from all the events.
█ Example
In this case, we have an 85% probability that the price will break above the upper range and make a new Break Of Structure and only a 16.36% probability that the price will break below the lower range and make a Change Of Character.
█ Settings
The Structure Period sets the pivot period to use when calculating the market structure.
The Structure Response sets how responsive the market structure should be. A low value returns a more responsive structure. A high value returns a less responsive structure.
█ How to use
This indicator is a perfect tool for anyone that wants to understand the probability of a Change of Character ( CHoCH ), Shift in Market Structure ( SMS ), and Break of Structure ( BMS )
The insights provided by this tool help traders gain an understanding of the smart money order flow direction, which can be used to determine the market trend.
█ Any Alert function call
An alert is sent when the price breaks the upper or lower range, and you can select what should be included in the alert. You can enable the following options:
Ticker ID
Timeframe
Probability percentage

Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks indicator detects order blocks that can be turned into breaker blocks on the chart automatically once mitigated.
Users can determine the amount of bullish and bearish order/breaker blocks that display on their chart from within the settings menu.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Lookback period used for the detection of the swing points used to create order blocks.
Show Last Bullish OB: Number of the most recent bullish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Show Last Bearish OB: Number of the most recent bearish order/breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Use Candle Body: Allows users to use candle bodies as order block areas instead of the full candle range.
🔹 Style
Show Historical Polarity Changes: Allows users to see labels indicating where a swing high/low previously occurred within a breaker block.
🔶 USAGE
We have published several scripts covering the detection of order blocks previously, however, the concept of breaker blocks was not yet introduced.
When price mitigates an order block, a breaker block is confirmed. We can eventually expect price to trade back to this breaker block offering a new trade opportunity.
We can see that this is similar to a change in polarity, where a support becomes a resistance after a breakout and vice versa.
This script highlights regular order blocks as solid extended areas on the chart and breaker blocks as dashed lines with dual-colored areas. The color change and dashed line starts at the location where the order block was mitigated.
Using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting will return longer term order/breaker blocks on the chart.
Users can optionally enable "Historical Polarity Changes" labels within the settings menu to see where breaker blocks might have provided an effective trade setup previously.
The "Historical Polarity Changes" setting is disabled by default & is most effective using replay mode as the labels are backpainted.
The order blocks & breaker blocks themselves can be used in real-time as they are detected based on the swing length & previous breaker blocks being mitigated.
Price Swing Detection - Smart Money ConceptSince my own style is Smart Money Concept and these days I have seen a lot of my friends who are having trouble identifying structures for their indicators and strategies. I wrote this code so they could use it in their strategy . In fact, this type of structure, as one of the strongest technical structures, can increase the success of your strategy according to your personalization.
The script detects swings (i.e. significant highs and lows) in a financial instrument's price action over a specified period. The user can set the lookback period (number of candles to consider) and the colors of the lines representing bullish and bearish trends.
The script has two functions: detectSwing and pivot high. The detectSwing function calculates the swing highs and lows for the specified number of candles. The function uses the ta.highest and ta.lowest functions to find the highest and lowest prices, respectively, over the lookback period. The function also determines the swing state (high or low) of the current candle and returns the calculated swing values.
The pivot high function calculates the pivot high, which is an important step in detecting bullish structures in the market. If a new top (i.e. swing high) is found, the script updates the pivot high values and creates a line from the recent top to the last bar. The script also updates the trailing maximum values, which are used to extend the top extension line.
For Strategy :
The variable "trendDirection" in the code is used to keep track of the trend state, either bullish (up trend) or bearish (down trend), in the market. The variable is initialized to 0 which represents a downtrend. The value of this variable is updated later in the code based on the calculations of swing highs and lows, pivot crosses, and the trailing maximum. If a bullish structure is detected, the value of "trendDirection" is set to 1, indicating an uptrend.
Orders Blocks [TK]This indicator draw only valid orders blocks on your 1 minute Chart
An order block is created when :
A bullish candle engulf a previous bearish candle
A bearish candle engulf a previous bullish candle
Once the order block is created, a zone is stretched to the actual bar
If the price goes into the order block zone, the zone is reduced accordingly
If the price cross the order block zone, the order block and its zone are deleted
This way, you will have on your screen only the orders blocks nevers crossed
You can choose the color of the bearish and of the bullish order block zone in the settings
NB :
Order block older that 5000 bars are deleted
This indicator works only in the 1 minute timeframe
ICT Killzones [LuxAlgo]This script highlights ICT Killzones on the chart along with Fibonacci retracements constructed from each Killzone's price range, allowing traders to find more optimal entries.
Settings
Killzone Retracements
Show Retracements: Determines whether Fibonacci retracements are displayed on the chart.
Extend: Determines if the retracements are extended outside the Killzone.
Reverse: Switches the maximum and minimum levels for the calculation of the retracements.
Other settings allow disabling as well as changing the retracement value and color.
Usage
Killzones are introduced by forex trader ICT and represent different time intervals that aims at offering optimal trade entries. Killzones include:
New York Killzone (7:9 ET)
London Open Killzone (2:5 ET)
London Close Killzone (10:12 ET)
Asian Killzone (20:00 ET)
Note that using timeframes superior to 1h can highlight incorrect intervals
Fibonacci retracements on an active Killzone are subject to changes, if no Killzones are active then the associated Fibonacci retracements will stay at their current level.
Disabling specific Killzones while having extended retracements will allow them to extend further. In the image above the New York and Asian Killzones are disabled.
30MIN CYCLE█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
The known 90 min cycle is used as one killzone. But actually all 18 min are relevant to search for a trade. All 18 min when a new box starts only then is the placement of an order valid. If the entry candle isn't in a box then it will probably fail. The boxes should only be used in the M1 or M5 timeframe. The best hitrate is in the M1 timeframe. Included are the last 48 "Mini-Killzones" für intraday trading and backtesting. These "Mini-Killzones" can be used with the "Liquidity Inducement Strategy".
█ WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
This is the first indicator on tradingview that shows all mini-killzones for trading and backtesting a whole tradingday. The well-known killzones of ICT are from 08:00-11:00 and 14:00 - 17:00 (UTC+1) but with this indicator there is finally a refinement of the ICT Smart Money Concept killzones.
█ HOW TO USE IT?
For a proper use of this indicator we suggest to know already at least SMC or better Liquidity Indcuement Trading. This indicator is a further confluence before placing an order. After you made your setup you will have these mini-killzones as a confluence. We don't suggest to open a trade only according to this indicator.
█ ADDITIONAL INFO
This indicator is free to use for all tradingview users.
█ DISCLAIMER
This is not financial advice.
Imbalance Detector [LuxAlgo]This indicator detects and highlights market imbalances alongside a dashboard returning information about their frequency of occurrence and their fill percentage. Imbalances included in this script are Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Opening Gaps (OG) and Volume Imbalances (VI).
Alerts are available for the occurrences of all market imbalances.
Settings
Imbalances
Each imbalance has the same settings layout:
Imbalance: Enable/disable the detection of the specific imbalance.
Min Width: If enabled, requires the imbalance area width to be greater than the specified value. This minimum width can be expressed in points, percentages or ATR multiples.
Extend: Extend imbalances by a specified number of bars.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Enable/disable the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Size: Size of the dashboard.
Usage
Market imbalances are part of the many concepts available to price action traders and highlight areas where there is a disparity between supply and demand.
It is common to see price come back to these areas and traders often use them as supports and resistances but also as targets.
Details
The script can detect three distinct types of imbalances described below.
Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are three candle formations characterized by a gap between the wicks of the non-adjacent candles in the formation.
A bullish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price low and the 2 bars anterior price high, and a bearish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price high and the 2 bars anterior price low.
Opening Gaps
Opening Gaps (OG) are imbalances characterized by non-existent activity within a specific price range.
A bullish OG occurs when the current price low is greater than the previous high, a bearish OG occurs when price high is lower than the previous price low.
Opening Gaps primarily occur in closing markets, as such they are less common in the cryptocurrency market.
Most of the time an Opening Gap will also be accompanied by a Fair Value Gap, in order to avoid clutter the indicator will not detect Fair Value Gaps if Opening Gaps are enabled and if an Opening Gap has been detected
Volume Imbalances
Volume Imbalances (VI) are characterized by a price discontinuity between the opening price and previous close, but unlike Opening Gaps we do not see nonexistent activity within a certain price range.
A bullish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are superior to the previous closing price, with the current price low overlapping the previous price high. A bearish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are inferior to the previous closing price, with the current price high overlapping the previous price low.
Because Volume Imbalances can occur excessively on markets with frequent gaps, we make use of an additional condition for filtering out less significant imbalances. Bullish VI's will require the previous price high to be lower than the opening price, while bullish VI's will require the previous price low to be higher than the opening price.
BIAS NotesUsage: This indicator allows you to note on your desired pair what is the current state of the trends.
!! How to use: You have to input the values for each table case to your desire in the indicator settings. !!
With this indicator you can note :
-what is the timeframe Bias
-which supply or demand we`ve just hit
I use this as a tool for my analysis with Insitutional Orderflow/SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
3 Bank IndexSpeaking on the reason for Bank Nifty hitting record high, Saurabh Jain, AVP — Research at SMC Global Securities said, "Reason for a rally in Bank Nifty can be attributed to three major reasons — hawkish interest rate regime making overseas lending dearer for big corporates in comparison to Indian lenders, rising interest rate expected to improve margins of Indian banks and lowering of provisioning strengthening the balance sheet of banking institutions. Today, the incremental credit ratio of Indian banks is more than 100 which is also attracting buying interest among Dalal Street bulls."
On Bank Nifty's current chart pattern, Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking said, "Bank Nifty has made a higher high higher low pattern on the chart that signals continuous uptrend in the index. The immediate target for the Bank Nifty index is 44,000 but once it gives closing above 44,000, we can expect more upside in the index."
Liquidity Levels MTF - SonarlabThis indicator uses Pivot Points to identify Liquidity Levels in the market. Liquidity Levels are levels in the market where you would expect price to be pulled towards.
Liquidity Levels by Sonarlab also has an option to show Higher Timeframe Liquidity Levels.
Below are the indicators settings:
Liquidity Mitigation Options
The Indicator has options for you to choose what happens to the Liquidity line/boxes once it has been mitigated. Either Keep them on the chart, or remove them.
Display Styles
Choose how the levels are displayed, either with Lines or Boxes.
Set the your Extension options, by keeping the lines/boxes "short" or extend to current price, or maximum to the right
Colors and Styles
Set colors and styles for all lines and boxes
Automatic Closest FVG with BPRFair Value Gaps are a hugely popular concept and because of that there are numerous indicators available. This one however, was designed to automate the process of actually using them in trading.
Designed with lower time frame entries in mind (though will work on HTF just as well), this indicator automatically draws the closest, non-mitigated FVG, to the current price, cutting out the work of looking for what FVG is relevant.
The indicator also has an option to show when the current nearest pair of FVGs form a BPR or 'balanced price range'.
There are various option for what counts as mitigation, including no mitigation at all, and when mitigated an FVG is no longer considered for proximity searching.

[FrizLabz]FVG Bar
For those of you that like to keep your charts nice and tidy for your Technical Analysis!
FVG = Fair Value Gap
Fair Value Gaps are when impulse movements create an imbalance in price leaving unfilled orders.. they are popular because after one is created we often observe price return to fill these unfilled orders
3 candles make a FVG
When the high/low of most recent candle is lower/high than the low/high of the bar before last
Similar to my other FVG indicator but this one allows you to delete Filled FVGs and have them adjust when filled
Uses a line whose x1 and x2 are on the FVG bar and adjust the size of the FVG with line width because line width on line.new()s doesnt have a cap on line width like plot()s do
Not much too it I made this because a few people were asking if they could delete the FVG after it was Mitigated and since my other uses plots it wasnt possible
so I hope this works for those who were asking about it
hope you enjoy please let me know if you have an idea or find a bug,
Thank You! -
Automated OHLC OLHC LevelsA simple, clean, effective visualization tool, for the OHLC or OLHC of a chosen candle/timeframe.
Apply this indicator using a higher timeframe, in conjunction with other levels and the directional bias, to easily recognize trading opportunities at lower timeframes.
Automatic Order Block + Imbalance by D. BrigagliaThis script combines automatic orderblock and imbalance tracking.
Bullish OB - Blue
Bullish Imbalance - Green
Bearish OB - Red
Bearish Imbalance - Orange
Please note that the actual definitions of orderblock and imbalance are not respected in this script for the sake of simplicity. Scripts that are too complex may overfit some particular chart. Since there is no way to translate the actual ob and imb definitions into pinescript language, I decided to keep it simple.
Ideally, you want to see a bullish OB followed by buy side imbalance, or viceversa. OBs that are broken weakly are generally invalidated, ones that are broken strongly generally become breakers, and you can use them as good support/resistance levels.
Also, a good thing you can do when an OB and an imbalance match, is going in the lower timeframes and catching the structure reversal in the OB or imbalance zone. That may provide excellent RR trades. Always trade with OB that confirm the HTF trend.
Nothing in my content on tradingview is considerable investment advice.
3 or more consecutive candles
This indicator Colors in candles if there are 3 or more consecutive bearish or bullish candles.
If you are familiar with the BTMM/Stacey Burke Trading concept of expecting a stop hunt after 3 cycles of rise/fall this indicator may be useful to you.
I'm new to coding/making indicators so the code may not be as polished so please bare with me, I am in the process of learning :)
Eventually I'll make it so that you can edit the minimum and maximum number of candles needed for it to be colored, but it may take a long time lol.
All-In-One Sessions, Weekly, Monday, Previous Highs/LowsWe are forever drawing key levels on our charts with saved drawing templates, but finding the levels, adding the labels, is all tedious stuff. We have indicators, but we have multiple different ones at a time.
What if you could just tick a box on/off?
Well now you can.
This all in one 'levels' indicator is designed to show all the key highs and lows from previous weeks, Monday, the current week, as well as an option to highlight the market sessions and their highs and lows.
There are lots of options available for extending lines and choosing their colors, so once you have set it up how you want, don't forget to save YOUR defaults.
Oorah.
Fair Value Gap [LuxAlgo]Fair value gaps (FVG) highlight imbalances areas between market participants and have become popular amongst technical analysts. The following script aims to display fair value gaps alongside the percentage of filled gaps and the average duration (in bars) before gaps are filled.
Users can be alerted when an FVG is filled using the alerts built into this script.
🔶 USAGE
In practice, FVG's highlight areas of support (bullish FVG) and resistances (bearish FVG). Once a gap is filled, suggesting the end of the imbalance, we can expect the price to reverse.
This approach is more contrarian in nature, users wishing to use a more trend-following approach can use the identification of FVG as direct signals, going long with the identification of a bullish FVG, and short with a bearish FVG.
🔹 Mitigation
By default, the script highlights the areas of only unmitigated FVG's. Users can however highlight the mitigation level of mitigated FVG's, that is the lower extremity of bullish FVG's and the upper extremity of bearish FVG's.
The user can track the evolution of a mitigated FVG's using the "Dynamic" setting.
🔹 Threshold
The gap height can be used to determine the degree of imbalance between buying and selling market participants. Users can filter fair value gaps based on the gap height using the "Threshold %" setting. Using the "Auto" will make use of an automatic threshold, only keeping more volatile FVG's.
🔶 DETAILS
We use the following rules for detecting FVG's in this script:
Bullish FVG
low > high(t-2)
close(t-1) > high(t-2)
(low - high(t-2)) / high(t-2) > threshold
Upper Bullish FVG = low
Lower Bullish FVG = high(t-2)
Bearish FVG
high < low(t-2)
close(t-1) < low(t-2)
(low(t-2) - high) / high < -threshold
Upper Bearish FVG = low(t-2)
Lower Bearish FVG = high
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Threshold percentage used to filter our FVG's based on their height.
Auto Threshold: Use the cumulative mean of relative FVG heights as threshold.
Unmitigatted Levels: Extent the mitigation level of the number of unmitigated FVG's set by the user.
Mitigation Levels: Show the mitigation levels of mitigated FVG's.
Timeframe : Timeframe of the price data used to detect FVG's.

Collective IndicatorKey notes are that this indicators markets the High and Low of the previous day, week month and quarter. It also marks the open of the day, week, month and quarter. These are levels that can be important areas to take trades towards and away from.
It includes additional features some may wish to use that I've included for your convenience that I don't personally use anymore. This is the 50 and 200 EMAs and high volume candle coloring. EMAs can be helpful for identifying the average markup and markdown of a a trend on any given timeframe. Be careful with mean reversion strategies alone since they tend not to have great entries and could result in high losses if used in isolation.
The "Length" and "High Volume" settings control how the coloration of candles is applied. Length is the amount of bars it will use to calculate a volume average. "High Volume" is the multiplier used to distinguish how much additional volume you want to be considered "high" volume. 1x meaning average 2x meaning double volume and etc.
High volume identification can help show distributive or accumulative characteristics around key areas.
I personally focus on the Open, Low, High close data, apply SMC concepts and Wyckoff concepts to look for trades around these key areas.
