Smart Trader, Episode 02, by Ata Sabanci | Battle of Candles ⚠️ CRITICAL: READ BEFORE USING ⚠️
This indicator is 100% VOLUME-BASED and requires Lower Timeframe (LTF) intrabar data for accurate calculations. Please understand the following limitations before using:
📊 DATA ACCURACY LEVELS:
• 1T (Tick) — Most accurate, real volume distribution per tick
• 1S (1 Second) — Reasonably accurate approximation
• 15S (15 Seconds) — Good approximation, longer historical data available
• 1M (1 Minute) — Rough approximation, maximum historical data range
⚠️ BACKTEST & REPLAY LIMITATIONS:
• Replay mode results may differ from live trading due to data availability
• For longer back test periods, use higher LTF settings (15S or 1M)
• Not all symbols/exchanges support tick-level data
• Crypto and Forex typically have better LTF data availability than stocks
💡 A NOTE ON TOOLS:
Successful trading requires proper tools. Higher TradingView plans provide access to more historical intrabar data, which directly impacts the accuracy of volume-based calculations. More precise volume data leads to more reliable signals. Consider this when evaluating your trading infrastructure.
📌 OVERVIEW
Smart Trader Episode 02: Battle of Candles is an advanced educational indicator that combines multiple analysis engines to help traders identify market scenarios and understand market dynamics. This is NOT financial advice or a trading signal service — it's a learning tool designed to help you understand how institutional traders might interpret price action.
The indicator integrates 7 major analysis engines into a unified dashboard, providing real-time insights into volume flow, trend structure, market phases, and potential trade setups.
⚡ KEY FEATURES
🎯 16-Pattern Scenario Engine
Automatically detects and classifies market conditions into 16 distinct scenarios, from strong continuation moves to potential reversals and traps.
💰 Trade Advisor Panel
Aggregates all signals into actionable suggestions with confidence levels, suggested entry/SL/TP levels, and risk/reward calculations.
📊 Volume Engine
Splits volume into buy/sell components using either Geometry (candle shape) or Intrabar (LTF data) methods for precise delta analysis.
📈 CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta)
Tracks the running total of buying vs selling pressure to identify accumulation, distribution, and divergences.
🎯 Stop-Hunt Detection
Identifies potential stop-hunt patterns where price sweeps liquidity levels before reversing.
📐 Pure Structure Trend Engine
Zero-lag trend detection based on swing highs/lows (HH/HL/LH/LL) without any lagging indicators.
⚡ Effort vs Result Analysis
Measures energy spent (volume) versus ground taken (price movement) to detect stalls, breakthroughs, and exhaustion.
🎯 SCENARIO ENGINE — 16 Market Patterns
The Scenario Engine analyzes multiple factors (candle anatomy, volume, forces, CVD, wick analysis) to classify each candle into one of 16 scenarios:
Continuation Scenarios (1-3)
1. ⚔️ STRONG MOVE — Big body candle (>60%) with volume confirming direction. Indicates strong momentum continuation.
2. 🛡️ ABSORPTION — One side attacks but the other absorbs the pressure. Price holds despite volume. Continuation expected in the absorbing side's favor.
3. 📉 PULLBACK — Small move against the trend with low volume. Indicates a healthy retracement before trend continuation.
Reversal Scenarios (4-6, 13-16)
4. 💥 REJECTION — Big wick (>40%) with small body and high volume. Price was rejected
at a level, potential reversal.
5. 🪤 TRAP — Pin direction disagrees with delta. Extreme wick size. Looks bullish/bearish but the opposite may happen.
6. 😫 EXHAUSTION — High energy spent (volume) but low ground taken (price movement). Both sides active but momentum fading.
13. 🔄 CVD BULL DIV — Price falling but CVD rising. Hidden buying detected (accumulation). Potential bullish reversal.
14. 🔄 CVD BEAR DIV — Price rising but CVD falling. Hidden selling detected (distribution). Potential bearish reversal.
15. 🎯 STOP HUNT BULL — Shorts were liquidated below support. Price swept liquidity and reversed. Expect bullish move.
16. 🎯 STOP HUNT BEAR — Longs were liquidated above resistance. Price swept liquidity and reversed. Expect bearish move.
Range/Stalemate Scenarios (7-9)
7. ⚖️ DEADLOCK — Market in balance. Force ratio between 0.4-0.6. Low volume. No side winning.
8. 🔥 BATTLE — High volume fight in a range. Both sides attacking. Wicks on both ends of candle.
9. 🎯 WAITING — Building phase with quiet volume. Market is preparing but no trigger yet. Wait for breakout.
Pre-Breakout Scenarios (10-12)
10. 🚀 BULL SETUP — Buyers accumulating in a building phase. Positive delta building. Bullish pressure growing.
11. 💣 BEAR SETUP — Sellers distributing in a building phase. Negative delta building. Bearish pressure growing.
12. ⚡ BREAKOUT — Price at boundary with strong candle and volume supporting. Imminent breakout expected.
💰 TRADE ADVISOR ENGINE
The Trade Advisor aggregates all signals from the different engines into a single actionable output. It uses a weighted scoring system:
Scoring Weights:
• Scenario Signal: 30%
• Trend Alignment: 20%
• CVD Momentum: 15% + Divergence Bonus
• Pin Forces: 15%
• Liquidity Sweep: 12%
• Stop-Hunt Detection: 10%
• Effort vs Result: 10%
Possible Actions:
• ⏳ WAIT — Edge not strong enough (stay patient)
• 🟢 LONG ENTRY — Buyers have strong advantage + signals align
• 🔴 SHORT ENTRY — Sellers have strong advantage + signals align
• ⚠️ CLOSE LONG/SHORT — Position at risk (reversal/trend flip)
• 🛑 STOP LOSS — Price hit risk threshold
• 💰 TAKE PROFIT — Target threshold reached
📊 EXTENDED INFO PANEL (Detailed Explanations)
The Extended Info panel is hidden by default (toggle: Show Extended Info in settings). It provides detailed metrics that feed into the main engines:
CVD ANALYSIS
What is CVD?
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is the running total of Buy Volume minus Sell Volume. It reveals the underlying buying/selling pressure that may not be visible in price alone.
CVD Value & Slope:
• ↗ Rising: CVD increasing = net buying pressure (bullish)
• ↘ Falling: CVD decreasing = net selling pressure (bearish)
• → Flat: No clear pressure direction
Accumulation vs Distribution:
• Accumulation %: Shows buying pressure strength (0-100). High accumulation with CVD rising = strong bullish bias.
• Distribution %: Shows selling pressure strength (0-100). High distribution with CVD falling = strong bearish bias.
Divergence Alerts:
• ⚠️ BULLISH DIVERGENCE: Price falling but CVD rising. Hidden buying = potential reversal UP.
• ⚠️ BEARISH DIVERGENCE: Price rising but CVD falling. Hidden selling = potential reversal DOWN.
WICK ANALYSIS
Wick Torque:
Torque measures the "rotational force" from wicks. It's calculated from wick length, volume, and body efficiency.
• Positive Torque (Bullish): Bottom wick power dominates. Buyers defended lower prices.
• Negative Torque (Bearish): Top wick power dominates. Sellers defended higher prices.
• ⚡ High Torque (>30): Strong signal, significant wick rejection occurred.
Stop-Hunt Detection:
The engine detects when price has likely swept stop-losses clustered at key levels:
• Stop Hunt Risk %: Likelihood score (0-100). Above 55% = confirmed hunt.
• "Shorts hunted": Price swept below support, liquidating shorts, expect bounce UP.
• "Longs hunted": Price swept above resistance, liquidating longs, expect drop DOWN.
LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
This section appears only when a liquidity sweep is detected. The engine monitors for price sweeping recent highs/lows and then reversing:
• 🎯 LIQUIDITY SWEPT ABOVE: Price broke recent highs but closed back below. Longs trapped, expect DOWN.
• 🎯 LIQUIDITY SWEPT BELOW: Price broke recent lows but closed back above. Shorts trapped, expect UP.
POWER BALANCE
The Power Balance meter shows the real-time strength comparison between buyers and sellers.
Force Ratio:
• 0% = Complete seller dominance
• 50% = Perfect balance
• 100% = Complete buyer dominance
Visual Bar:
• Left side (▓): Bear territory
• Right side (▓): Bull territory
• The bar is smoothed over recent history to reduce noise.
EFFORT vs RESULT
This section measures the efficiency of price movement relative to volume expended.
Energy:
How much volume was spent relative to the average. Energy > 1.0x means above-average volume activity.
Ground:
How much price movement occurred relative to average range. Ground > 1.0x means above-average price movement.
STALL Warning:
A STALL is detected when high energy is spent but low ground is taken (high effort, low result). This often indicates institutional battle, exhaustion, or imminent reversal.
MARKET PHASE
The Phase Engine classifies the current market regime:
RANGE : No clear trend. Price confined to middle of channel. Low ADX. Balanced forces. Trade breakouts with caution.
BUILDING : Compression/preparation phase. Channel tightening or boundary penetration without follow-through. Watch for breakout direction.
TRENDING : Active directional move. Clear slope, good efficiency, price on trending side of channel. Favor pullback entries.
Strength:
0-100% score combining slope, volume validity, and force/efficiency filters.
Bars: How many candles the current phase has persisted.
TRACK RECORD (Validation Panel)
Enable with Show Validation Panel in settings. This section tracks the historical accuracy of scenario predictions:
Accuracy: Percentage of validated predictions that were correct.
Best/Worst Scenario: Shows which scenarios have the highest and lowest accuracy on the current symbol.
Recent Signals: Last 5 predictions with their outcomes. ✓ = correct, ✗ = wrong, ⏳ = pending validation.
⚙️ SETTINGS GUIDE
📊 Volume Analysis
Volume Calculation: Choose Geometry (estimates from candle shape) or Intrabar (precise LTF data).
Intrabar Resolution: LTF for precise mode. Try 1S, 15S, or 1T. Must be lower than chart timeframe.
History Depth: Candles stored in memory (5-50). Higher = more context, slower.
Memory Lookback: Bars for moving averages and Z-scores (10-100).
🏷️ Market Phase
Range Zone Width: How much of channel center is considered "range" (0.1-0.8).
Trend Sensitivity: Minimum slope to detect trending. Lower = more sensitive.
Min Episode Length: Minimum bars before phase can change. Prevents flickering.
🎯 Scenarios

Aether | SkyWalker Cloud Algo☁️ Aether | SkyWalker Cloud Algo
The SkyWalker Cloud Algo is a high-confluence trend-following system designed to filter out market noise and capture significant volatility expansions. By combining a sensitive trailing stop engine (UT Bot) with a "Tri-Factor" of momentum, volume, and trend filters, this script visualizes the market as a navigational flight path—keeping you in the clear "Blue Sky" during uptrends and alerting you to "Storms" during downtrends.
🧠 The Logic Behind the Cloud
This script is not just a buy/sell signal generator; it is a Confluence Engine. A signal is only generated when the core cloud logic aligns with specific atmospheric conditions (Filters).
1. The Core Engine: Variable Sensitivity Cloud (UT Bot)
At its heart, the script uses a modified ATR Trailing Stop (often known as the UT Bot).
Ascend (Bullish): When price breaks above the trailing "Updraft" line.
Descend (Bearish): When price breaks below the trailing "Downdraft" line.
Customization: You can tweak the Sensitivity (ATR Period) and Smoothness (Key Value) to fit any timeframe, from scalping (1m) to swing trading (4H+).
2. The Confluence Filters (The Weather System)
To prevent false signals in choppy markets, the "SkyWalker" logic checks three distinct market forces before confirming a trade:
🌬️ Prevailing Wind (Supertrend): Ensures you are trading in the direction of the macro trend. If the wind is against you, the signal is grounded.
🌡️ Atmospheric Pressure (QQE Mod): Uses a smoothed RSI with volatility bands to detect genuine momentum shifts. It ensures there is enough "pressure" to sustain the move.
💧 Vapor Flow (Chaikin Money Flow): Analyzes volume flow. A Buy signal requires positive money flow (Inflow), and a Sell requires negative money flow (Outflow).
3. Market Structure (SMC)
Optional Filter: You can enable the SMC Structure Alignment in the settings. This forces the algorithm to only take Longs when the market is making Higher Highs and Shorts when making Lower Lows, adding an extra layer of safety.
🌤️ Visuals & The "Flight Deck"
The script completely overhauls the standard chart visual to keep your focus on price action and targets.
Aether Mist: The space between the price and the trailing stop is filled with a dynamic cloud, providing an instant visual read on trend strength.
Dynamic Targets (TP/SL): When a signal fires, the script automatically projects Take Profit and Stop Loss lines on your chart based on volatility (ATR). These lines update in real-time.
The Flight Deck (Dashboard): Located in the corner of your chart, this panel provides a real-time status report of your filters (Wind, Barometer, Flow) and tracks the "Flight Accuracy" (Win Rate) of the signals on the current chart history.
🛠️ How to Use
Entry: Wait for a "🌤️ ASCEND" (Long) or "⛈️ DESCEND" (Short) label. This confirms that price has broken the cloud and all enabled filters (Supertrend, QQE, CMF) are in agreement.
Stop Loss: Place your initial stop at the dotted white line provided by the signal.
Take Profit: Aim for the dashed colored line (Dynamic TP). Alternatively, you can ride the trend until the Cloud changes color.
Trailing: If the "Show Trailing Cloud" option is on, the SL line will move with the price, locking in profits as the trend continues.
⚙️ Settings Overview
Updraft/Downdraft Sensitivity: Lower numbers = faster signals (scalping); Higher numbers = fewer signals (swinging).
Confluence Group: Toggle the Supertrend, QQE, or CMF filters on/off individually to loosen or tighten the strategy.
Visuals: Toggle the Dashboard, TP/SL lines, or the background cloud fill.
Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite v1 - The Strategy GuideHere is the complete **Strategy Guide** translated into English.

# 📘 Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite – The Strategy Guide
### 1. The Visual Legend (What is what?)
Before you trade, you need to understand the hierarchy of your lines. Not every line has the same importance.
* **🟣 Daily EMA 50 (Neon Violet):** The **"Big Boss"**. It determines the **Macro Trend**.
* *Price above:* We are primarily looking for Longs.
* *Price below:* We are primarily looking for Shorts.
* **🟢 4h EMA 50 (Neon Green):** The **"Swing Trend"**. Your most important level for **Pullback Entries** (Re-entries).
* **🟡 POC (Gold) & TPO:** The **"Magnet"**. Price often returns here.
* *Rule:* Never open a trade directly *on* the POC (Risk of "Chop"). Use it as a **Target** (Take Profit).
* **🟠 IB High/Low (Orange Lines):** The **"Daily Structure"**.
* A breakout from the IB (Initial Balance) often indicates the trend direction for the day.
* **🟥/🟩 Boxes (Supply/Demand):** Resistance and Support zones from the 1h timeframe.
* **⬜ FVG Boxes:** "Gaps" in the market that are often filled.
---
### 2. The Trading Workflow (Top-Down Method)
Go through this mental checklist before every trade:
#### Step 1: Trend Check (The Traffic Light)
Look at the **Violet Line (Daily)** and the **Green Line (4h)**.
* **Bullish:** Price is above Violet AND above Green. -> *Focus: Buy dips.*
* **Bearish:** Price is below Violet AND below Green. -> *Focus: Sell rallies.*
* **Mixed:** Price is between Violet and Green. -> *Caution! Market is undecided (Range Trading).*
#### Step 2: Location (The Context)
Where is the price currently located?
* Are we at a **Green Demand Zone**?
* Are we testing the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** from above?
* Are we at the **VWAP**?
* *Never trade in "No Man's Land"!* Wait until the price touches one of your lines.
#### Step 3: Trigger (The Execution)
Now zoom into your lower timeframe (e.g., 5min or 15min).
* Wait for a reaction at the zone.
* Use the **EMA 9 (Yellow)** as a momentum trigger. If price breaks the EMA 9 and closes above/below it, that is your "Go".
---
### 3. The Setup Blueprints
Here are the two most profitable scenarios you can trade with this script:
#### A) The "Golden Trend" Setup (Long)
* **Context:** Price > **Daily EMA (Violet)**.
* **Preparation:** Price corrects (drops) back to the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** or to the **VWAP**.
* **Confluence:** Ideally, there is also a **Demand Zone (Green Box)** or an **FVG** at that level.
* **Entry:** As soon as a candle touches the zone and closes bullish again (or reclaims the EMA 9).
* **Stop-Loss:** Below the 4h EMA 50.
* **Take-Profit:** Next **Supply Zone (Red)** or the **IB High (Orange)**.
#### B) The "Daytrade Breakout" (Intraday)
* **Context:** Price opens inside yesterday's Value Area.
* **Signal:** Price breaks through the **IB High (Orange)** with momentum.
* **Filter:** Price must be above the **VWAP**.
* **Entry:** On the retest of the IB High or directly on the breakout.
* **Target:** Price often trends in that direction for the rest of the day.
---
### 4. Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
1. **The "Concrete Ceiling":** If you want to go Long, but the **Violet Daily EMA 50** is running directly above you. This is massive resistance. Better wait until it is broken.
2. **The "POC Dance":** If price is dancing sideways around the **Gold Line (POC)**. This is a "No-Trade Zone". Day traders lose the most money here due to fees and whipsaws.
3. **Overextension:** If price is extremely far away from the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** (Rubber Band Effect). Do not enter in the trend direction here; wait for a pullback to the line.
### Summary
Your chart is now telling you a story:
* **Violet** tells you the Direction.
* **Green** gives you the Entry.
* **Red/Green Boxes** show you the Obstacles.
* **Yellow (EMA 9)** gives you the Timing.
Good luck with the Suite! This is a setup similar to what institutional traders use.

---
### 4. STRATEGY B: The IB Breakout (Volatility)
*Use this specifically after the first hour of the New York Session (approx. 10:30 NY time).*
* **The Setup:** Look at the **Yellow Box (Initial Balance)** which marks the high/low of the first hour.
* **Bullish Breakout:** If a candle closes **above** the Yellow Box + Price is above VWAP → **Go Long**.
* **Bearish Breakdown:** If a candle closes **below** the Yellow Box + Price is below VWAP → **Go Short**.
* **The Trap (Fakeout):** If price breaks out but immediately falls back inside the Yellow Box, close the trade immediately.
---
### 5. DAILY ROUTINE (Checklist)
1. **Open TradingView:** Switch to the **15m Chart**.
2. **Check Context:** Where are we? Are we near a big Red Box (Supply) or Green Box (Demand)?
3. **Check Trend:** Is price above or below the Blue VWAP line?
4. **Wait for the Open:** Let the first hour of New York pass (to form the Yellow IB Box).
5. **Set Alerts:** Right-click the chart and set alerts for "IB Breakout" or "Golden Pocket".
6. **Execute:** Switch to the **5m Chart** to find your entry trigger (FVG).
---
### 6. RISK MANAGEMENT RULES
* **Stop Loss:** NEVER trade without one. Place it just outside the FVG box or the Zone.
* **Risk per Trade:** 1% to 2% of your account maximum.
* **No Trade Zone:** If the price is "chopping" (moving sideways) inside the Yellow IB Box, **do not trade**. Wait for a breakout.
Apex ICT Delivery & Session Flow ProDescription
The Apex ICT Delivery & Session Flow Pro is a high-precision technical analysis indicator designed for inner-circle traders who prioritize a clean, institutional-grade chart. This script specializes in identifying real-time liquidity levels and displacement zones while utilizing an automated "Cleanup Engine" to ensure that only the most relevant, unmitigated data remains visible.
Core Functionalities
Multi-Timeframe Displacement Engine: The script scans across multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1H) to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created by high-displacement price action. It automatically plots the FVG boxes and the 50% Consequent Encroachment (CE) line for precise entry and target mapping.
Dynamic Session Liquidity: Automatically identifies and tracks the Highs and Lows of the Asia, London, and New York sessions. These levels are explicitly labeled and extended to act as magnet levels for price or points of liquidity reversal.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Visualizes shifts in order flow by marking the opening prices of the last opposite candle when price action confirms a change in delivery state. This provides immediate visual feedback on market sentiment shifts.
NY-Specific VWAP: Features a strict New York Session VWAP that resets daily at the NY open (08:00). This serves as the "Mean" for the session, helping traders identify premium and discount zones specifically within the high-volume New York hours.
The "Clean Chart" Cleanup Engine: Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen with historical data, this script features an intelligent removal system:
FVGs & Order Blocks: Automatically deleted once price trades through them or if they move too far from current price (Proximity Filter).
Broken Session Levels: Highs and Lows are instantly removed once they are breached by price.
Temporal Decay: CISD markers are automatically cleared after 20 candles to keep the focus on immediate delivery.
Apex ICT: Proximity & Delivery FlowSimple Description: This indicator is a specialized ICT execution tool that automates the identification of Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD). Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen, this script uses a Proximity Logic Engine to ensure you only see tradeable levels. It automatically purges old data (50-candle CISD limit) and deletes mitigated zones the moment they are breached, leaving you with a clean, institutional-grade chart.
ICT CISD+FVG+OBThis script is a high-performance ICT suite designed for traders who want a professional, "noise-free" chart. It identifies core institutional patterns—Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD)—across multiple timeframes.
The script features a proprietary Proximity Cleanup Engine that automatically deletes old or broken levels, keeping your workspace focused only on price action that is currently tradeable. It strictly follows directional delivery rules for CISD and includes a 50-candle "freshness" limit to ensure you never have to manually clear old data from your past bars.
Core Features
Intelligent CISD: Only triggers Bullish CISD on green candles and Bearish CISD on red candles.
Proximity Filter: Automatically wipes away any levels that are "miles away" from the current price.
Clean Workspace: Removes broken session highs/lows and mitigated zones instantly.
Full Customization: Toggle visibility and colors for every component via the settings menu.
Killzones [Tradeuminati]Killzones is a precise TradingView indicator designed to display the most important institutional trading windows (“Killzones”) based strictly on New York local time.
The indicator focuses on accurate session timing, automatic asset classification, and stable chart behavior without affecting price scale or candle colors.
🔹 Included Killzones (NY Local Time)
London Killzone
02:00 – 05:00
New York Killzone (AM)
Indices & Index CFDs: 09:30 – 11:00
All other assets (Forex, Crypto, Commodities such as Gold, DXY): 07:00 – 10:00
New York PM Killzone
14:00 – 15:00
🔹 Asset Logic (Fully Automatic & Locked)
- Indices and Index CFDs are detected automatically
- Forex, Crypto, Commodities (e.g. Gold/XAUUSD, DXY) always use the 07:00–10:00 New York Killzone
- Stocks (Equities) are completely excluded
→ no lines, no table, no status display
This ensures the indicator is purpose-built for intraday trading in highly liquid markets and intentionally not designed for stock charts.
🔹 Chart Visualization
- Vertical session lines are drawn statically at the start of each New York trading day
- Lines are not dependent on bar timestamps
- No distortion of the price scale
- Session lines are shown only on intraday timeframes below 4H
- Line color, width, and style are fully adjustable
🔹 Status Table (Top Right)
- Clear overview of all Killzones with start and end times
- Live status indicator (green/red) based on the real current time (timenow), not the last printed candle
- The table remains visible on all timeframes (except stocks)
🔹 Technical Highlights
- Pure New York time–based logic, independent of chart timezone
- No future-bar plotting
- Stable across different brokers and CFD feeds
- Does not interfere with other indicators or candle coloring
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is intended for technical analysis only and does not constitute trading or investment advice.
Swing Failure Signals [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script detects swing failure patterns by tracking how price interacts with recent swing highs and lows, then confirming those sweeps with a change in candle behavior. The goal is to highlight areas where price briefly breaks a key level, fails to continue, and then shifts direction. These events often occur around liquidity runs, where stops are triggered before price reverses. The script draws levels, colors bars, and prints clear markers to help visualize where these failures occur and when they are confirmed.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The logic starts with pivot-based swing detection. Recent swing highs and lows are stored and monitored. When price trades beyond one of these levels within a defined historical window, it is treated as a sweep. A sweep alone is not enough. The script then waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD), which is defined by a shift in candle structure that shows follow-through in the opposite direction. A tolerance filter measures how far price traveled beyond the level relative to the reaction that followed. If the reaction is strong enough and happens within a limited number of bars, the sweep is validated as a swing failure. In short: the swing defines the reference, the sweep shows intent, and the CISD confirms acceptance or rejection.
🟠 FEATURES
Sweep detection with a maximum lookback to avoid outdated levels
CISD confirmation using candle structure and price expansion
Alert conditions for bullish and bearish swing failures
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. It works on any market and timeframe. Lower timeframes highlight intraday liquidity runs, while higher timeframes show structural failures. Start with the default inputs before adjusting.
Read the chart : A bullish swing failure occurs when price sweeps a prior low, then reverses and confirms with a bullish CISD. A bearish swing failure is the opposite, sweeping a prior high and confirming with a bearish CISD. Dashed lines mark the swept swing. Solid lines mark the CISD level. Bars are colored while the SFP state is active.
Settings that matter : Increasing Pivot Detection Length finds more significant swings but fewer signals. Reducing Max Pivot Point Edge limits how far back sweeps are allowed, keeping signals more current. The Patience setting controls how many bars are allowed for confirmation after a sweep. The Trend Noise Filter raises or lowers how strong the reaction must be to qualify as a valid failure.

Volume-Based Indicator — Data Granularity & Table Guide
1) Critical warning about data granularity (read first)
Important: This indicator is built entirely on volume-derived calculations (volume, volume delta, and related flow metrics). Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it.
The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S).
If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features.
Plan-related notes (TradingView)
TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are:
• Basic: 5,000 bars
• Essential: 10,000 bars
• Plus: 10,000 bars
• Premium: 20,000 bars
• Expert: 25,000 bars
• Ultimate: 40,000 bars
Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.
Liquidity Trap Detector Pro [PyraTime]The Problem: Why You Get Stopped Out
90% of retail traders place their stop-losses at obvious swing highs and lows. Institutional algorithms ("Smart Money") are programmed to push price through these levels to trigger liquidity, fill their heavy orders, and then immediately reverse the market.
If you have ever had your stop hit right before the market moves exactly where you predicted—you were the victim of a Liquidity Trap.
The Solution: Visualizing the "Stop Hunt"
Liquidity Trap Detector Pro is not just a support/resistance indicator. It is a comprehensive Reversal Scoring Engine.
Unlike standard indicators that spam signals on every wick, this tool uses a proprietary 5-Star Scoring System to analyze the quality of the trap. It validates every signal using Wick Symmetry, RSI Divergence, and Volume Analysis to separate a true reversal from a trend continuation.
Key Features (USP)
- 5-Star Scoring Engine: Every signal is rated from 1 to 5 stars. Stop guessing if a signal is valid; let the algorithm check the confluence for you.
- Glassmorphism Visuals: Gone are the messy lines. We use modern, semi-transparent "Liquidity Zones" that keep your chart clean and professional.
- Smart Terminology: Automatically identifies Bull Traps (Buyers trapped at highs) and Bear Traps (Sellers trapped at lows).
- Heads-Up Display (HUD): A professional dashboard monitors the market state, active filters, and recent trap statistics in real-time.
- Strict Non-Repainting: (Technical Note) This script uses strict non-repainting logic. All Higher Timeframe (HTF) data is confirmed and closed before a signal is generated, ensuring historical accuracy.
---
Tutorial: How to Trade This Indicator
1. Understanding the Signals
We use correct institutional terminology to describe the market mechanics:
GREEN Signal (BEAR TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing Low, enticing sellers (Bears) to enter. The candle then reversed and closed back inside the range, trapping those sellers.
- The Trade: This is a Bullish Reversal setup (Long).
RED Signal (BULL TRAP):
- What happened: Price swept a Swing High, enticing buyers (Bulls) to breakout. The candle reversed and closed lower, trapping the buyers.
- The Trade: This is a Bearish Reversal setup (Short).
2. The 5-Star Scoring System
Not all traps are created equal. The stars tell you how much "Confluence" exists:
- 1 Star: A basic structure sweep. Risky.
- 3 Stars: A solid setup backed by either Volume or Divergence.
- 5 Stars: The "Perfect" Trap. Structure Sweep + RSI Divergence + Volume Spike + Wick Symmetry. High Probability.
3. The Strategy
- Wait for the Zone: Watch price approach a coloured Liquidity Zone.
- Observe the Reaction: Do not trade blindly. Wait for the candle to close.
- Check the Stars: Look for at least 3 Stars before considering an entry.
- Confirm with HUD: Glance at the Dashboard to ensure the "RSI Filter" and "Vol Filter" agree with your analysis.
---
Settings Guide
Structure Settings:
- Pivot Lookback: Adjusts how sensitive the zones are (Default: 10/5).
- HTF Confirmation: Optional filter to only show traps that align with Higher Timeframe structure (e.g., 1H or 4H).
Quality Filters:
- RSI Divergence: Requires momentum to disagree with price (classic reversal sign).
- Volume Spike: Requires volume to be higher than average (Smart Money footprint).
Visuals:
- Clean Mode: A presenter-favorite feature. Hides all historical zones and leaves only the active setup—perfect for taking screenshots or sharing analysis.

Daytrading Suite: Neon TPO + FVG v6.1Here is the summary of the code and the trading guide in English.
---
### 1. Code Summary: What does the chart show?
The script combines three dimensions of trading into a single chart:
* **The Context (TPO / Market Profile - Yesterday):**
* **Gold Zone (Center):** Yesterday's **POC (Point of Control)**. This was the "fairest price". It often acts as a magnet.
* **White Dashed Lines:** The **VAH (Value Area High)** and **VAL (Value Area Low)**. Yesterday, 70% of all trading volume happened between these lines. This is the area of "Balance".
* **The Structure (HTF - 1 Hour+):**
* **Red/Green Boxes (Right Edge):** Automatic **Supply & Demand Zones** based on the 1-hour chart (or your setting). They indicate major resistance and support levels.
* **The Timing (Entries):**
* **Neon FVG Boxes (Small):** "Fair Value Gaps". These represent imbalances in price. If price revisits these, it is often your **entry signal**.
* **Lines (VWAP, EMA, PDH/PDL):** Act as dynamic support and trend indicators.
---
### 2. Trading Strategy: How to use it
Do not just trade every colored spot. You must combine **Location (TPO)** with **Signal (FVG)**.
#### Step A: The Open (Where are we?)
In the morning (or at the US Open), check where the price is relative to the **white TPO lines**.
1. **Inside the White Lines (In Balance):**
* The market is undecided. Expect ranging/choppy behavior.
* **Strategy:** Buy at the bottom edge (VAL), Sell at the top edge (VAH). The target is often the Gold Zone (POC) in the middle.
2. **Outside the White Lines (Imbalance):**
* The market is seeking new prices. Danger of a Trend!
* **Strategy:** If price breaks above VAH and tests it from above -> **Long**. If it breaks below VAL -> **Short**.
#### Step B: The Setup (The High Probability Scenario)
Here is the "Rejection" Setup (Long Example):
1. Price drops to the lower white line (**VAL**) or into a green **Demand Zone**.
2. It bounces (shows a wick).
3. In the process, a small **green Neon FVG** is formed.
4. **Entry:** Limit Order at the top of the Neon FVG.
5. **Target:** The Gold Zone (POC) or the upper white line (VAH).
6. **Stop Loss:** Below the recent swing low.
#### Step C: Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
* **In "No Man's Land":** If the price is sitting right in the middle between Gold (POC) and White (VAH/VAL), do nothing. The risk is 50/50. Wait until price hits an edge.
* **Against the Flow:** If EMA 9 and 21 are pointing steeply downwards, do not buy blindly at the VAL just because the line is there. Wait for confirmation (FVG).
### Pre-Trade Checklist:
1. **Level:** Am I at a white line (VAH/VAL) or the Gold Zone (POC)?
2. **Structure:** Do I have an HTF Demand/Supply Zone backing me up?
3. **Trigger:** Do I see a Neon FVG pointing in my direction?
Liquidity Void and Repair EngineLiquidity Void & Repair Engine
OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Void & Repair Engine is a high-fidelity institutional order flow tool designed to identify and track "Market Imbalances" or "Fair Value Gaps" (FVG). Unlike standard gap indicators that clutter the chart with every minor price jump, this engine uses Volatility-Adjusted Range Mapping to isolate high-conviction voids where price moved so rapidly that liquidity was left "unfilled."
The standout feature of this tool is its Active Repair Logic. The engine doesn't just draw static boxes; it monitors price action in real-time to determine when an imbalance has been "healed" by subsequent trading volume, providing a dynamic look at where the market has "unfinished business."
TECHNICAL LOGIC & ORIGINALITY
This script is published Open Source to contribute to the Pine Script community’s understanding of dynamic object management and order flow visualization.
ATR-Relative Filtering: To ensure only significant voids are plotted, the script uses a user-defined ATR (Average True Range) multiplier. This filters out market noise and focuses on institutional "impulse" moves.
Dynamic Box Management: Utilizing the Pine Script box array system, the script manages memory efficiently by updating existing objects rather than creating redundant ones.
The "Repair" Algorithm: The script tracks the high and low of every active void. When price action fully traverses the coordinates of a void, the script "seals" the box, visually marking the moment of liquidity equilibrium.
HOW TO USE
1. Identifying the "Magnet" (The Void)
When price moves aggressively, it leaves a "hole" in the auction.
Bullish Voids (Green): These represent areas where price surged so fast that buyers may still have unfilled orders sitting below. These act as Magnets for pullbacks.
Bearish Voids (Red): These represent areas where price plummeted, leaving a vacuum of selling pressure. These act as Magnets for relief rallies.
2. Trading the "Repair" Process
The Engine tracks how the market "repairs" these holes:
Partial Fill: If price enters a box but doesn't cross it, the "Magnet" is still active.
Full Repair: When a box is "sealed" (stops extending right), it indicates the imbalance is gone. If price "Seals" a green box and then bounces, it confirms the zone as Valid Institutional Support.
3. Confluence with the Trend
Continuation: In a strong uptrend, look for price to drop into a Green Bullish Void and find support. This is often the "Golden Entry" for trend followers.
Reversal Confirmation: If price ignores a Red Bearish Void and blasts right through it (sealing it instantly), it signals a massive shift in market regime and extreme bullish conviction.
USER SETTINGS
Lookback Period: How far back the engine searches for un-repaired gaps.
Min Gap Size (ATR %): Increase this to see only the "Major" institutional gaps; decrease it for a more granular intraday look.
Visual Styles: Fully customizable colors and transparency to match any chart theme (Dark/Light).

Smart Money Concepts - Absorption Smart Money Concepts - Absorption (SMC-ABS)
Absorption event detector using split-volume VWMA ribbons, entropy filtering, and elasticity validation
Overview
This indicator highlights potential absorption/defense events: moments where price touches a volume-weighted band and then rejects, while additional filters confirm that market conditions are not random/noisy.
What it plots
• Energy ribbons (bands): two split-volume VWMA ribbon sets - Buy-weighted (cyan) and Sell-weighted (magma).
• ABS markers: printed when touch + rejection + validation conditions are met (see Logic section).
• Dashboard (HUD): real-time metrics such as price/volume z-scores, delta, entropy state, and resonance momentum states.
Core logic
1) Volume engine
The script builds Buy Volume and Sell Volume series using one of two modes:
• Geometry (candle-range split): estimates buy/sell participation from the close position within the candle range.
• Intrabar (precise): uses lower-timeframe up/down volume to derive buy/sell flows when data is available.
2) Split-VWMA resonance score
For multiple periods (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50), the script computes:
• A standard SMA of price.
• A Buy-weighted VWMA of price (weighted by Buy Volume).
• A Sell-weighted VWMA of price (weighted by Sell Volume).
Resonance is derived from the normalized divergence between the SMA and the split VWMAs, aggregated across the available periods.
3) Validation filters
Signals can be filtered by the following components (each toggleable):
• Volume-weighted entropy: a fractal-efficiency style disorder metric (TR-sum vs range) adjusted by relative volume; high entropy blocks signals.
• Momentum alignment (resonance velocity) : direction filter requiring positive velocity for buy events and negative velocity for sell events.
• Elasticity (recoil vs penetration): rejection quality check based on the bounce-back strength relative to the penetration depth into the fast band.
Absorption event conditions (ABS markers)
ABS markers are generated using the fastest ribbon band (length 5) for the touch/rejection logic:
• Buy absorption: low touches/penetrates the Buy band and the candle closes back above it, with filters passing.
• Sell absorption: high touches/penetrates the Sell band and the candle closes back below it, with filters passing.
Note: acceleration/deceleration is displayed in the HUD as a state; the primary directional filter is the resonance velocity.
Settings
• Volume Model: choose Geometry or Intrabar.
• Intrabar LTF: lower timeframe used by the Intrabar model (only applies when Intrabar is selected).
• Global Lookback: lookback window used for z-score statistics and related calculations.
• Quantum Filters: toggles and thresholds for entropy, momentum alignment, and elasticity validation.
• Dashboard Settings :/ Energy Ribbons / Absorption Events: controls for visuals and filtering behavior.
Usage notes and limitations
• Signals are most reliable after candle close. On the forming candle, conditions can change until the bar closes.
• Results depend on the availability and quality of volume data for the selected symbol and exchange.
• The Geometry mode is an estimate based on candle structure; it is not tick-accurate order flow.
• Terms such as “quantum” and “physics” are metaphorical labels for statistical filters and validation heuristics.
Disclaimer
This tool is provided for analytical and educational use only. It does not constitute investment advice. Trading involves risk.
Important note about Intrabar data and TradingView plan limits
This indicator is volume-dependent. When using the Intrabar model, the best results typically come from very low intrabar timeframes such as 1 tick or 1 second (if your symbol and data feed support it). Please check your TradingView subscription plan and data entitlements - access to 1-second/1-tick lower timeframes is commonly restricted to higher-tier plans (often referred to as Premium/Ultra tiers). If intrabar data is not available, the script falls back to relative buy/sell volume estimation (Geometry mode), and results may be less precise.
Supply and Demand Zones [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Supply and Demand Zones indicator automatically identifies institutional order zones formed by high-volume price movements. It detects aggressive buying or selling events and marks the origin of these moves as demand or supply zones. Untested zones are plotted with thick solid borders, while tested zones become dashed, signaling reduced strength.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Supply Zones: Identified when 3 or more bearish candles form consecutively with above-average volume. The script then searches up to 5 bars back to find the last bullish candle and plots a supply zone from that candle’s low to its low plus ATR.
Demand Zones: Detected when 3 or more bullish candles appear with above-average volume. The script looks up to 5 bars back for a bearish candle and plots a demand zone from its high to its high minus ATR.
Volume Weighting: Each zone displays the cumulative bullish or bearish volume within the move leading to the zone.
Tested Zones: If price re-enters a zone and touches its boundary after being extended for 15 bars, the zone becomes dashed , indicating a potential weakening of that level.
Overlap Logic: Older overlapping zones are removed automatically to keep the chart clean and only show the most relevant supply/demand levels.
Zone Expiry: Zones are also deleted after they’re fully broken by price (i.e., price closes above supply or below demand).
🔵 FEATURES
Auto-detects supply and demand using volume and candle structure.
Extends valid zones to the right side of the chart.
Solid borders for fresh untested zones.
Dashed borders for tested zones (after 15 bars and contact).
Prevents overlapping zones of the same type.
Labels each zone with volume delta collected during zone formation.
Limits to 5 zones of each type for clarity.
Fully customizable supply and demand zone colors.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use supply zones as potential resistance levels where sell-side pressure could emerge.
Use demand zones as potential support areas where buyers might step in again.
Pay attention to whether a zone is solid (untested) or dashed (tested).
Combine with other confluences like volume spikes, trend direction, or candlestick patterns.
Ideal for swing traders and scalpers identifying key reaction levels.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Supply and Demand Zones is a clean and logic-driven tool that visualizes critical liquidity zones formed by institutional moves. It tracks untested and tested levels, giving traders a visual edge to recognize where price might bounce or reverse due to historical order flow.
Orderblock Footprints [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script highlights orderblocks and then drills into what actually trades inside them. Zones are created only after an abnormal directional impulse, measured with a z-score on consecutive candle bodies, so the orderblocks are tied to real expansion rather than simple pivots. Once a zone exists, the script overlays lower-timeframe volume footprints inside the candle when price trades back into that zone. The goal is to show not just where an orderblock sits, but whether price is being accepted or absorbed when it is revisited.
🟠 CONCEPTS
Orderblocks are detected after extreme bullish or bearish impulses. The script tracks consecutive body movement up or down, normalizes that distance with a rolling z-score, and only triggers when the move is statistically large. The last opposite candle before that impulse defines the orderblock range. These zones then extend forward until they are either mitigated by price closing through them or they expire by age.
Inside an active zone, the script switches to a lower timeframe and builds a footprint-style profile for each bar. Each candle is split into price rows, counting time-at-price and volume delta. Positive and negative delta are colored separately. Absorption is flagged when opposing delta prints appear in the wick that rejects the zone. In practice: the impulse defines context ; the footprint shows interaction .
🟠 FEATURES
Separate bullish and bearish zones with automatic extension
Volume split inside each zone candle (up vs down volume)
Lower-timeframe footprint with TPO-style rows and delta gradient
Absorption detection using opposing delta in rejection wicks
Alerts for zone creation and absorption events
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. It works on any market and timeframe. The lower timeframe for footprints is fixed at 5 minutes, so higher chart timeframes show clearer structure. Use the Z-Score Window to control how strict impulse detection is and Max Box Age to limit how long old zones stay on the chart.
Read the chart : Bullish orderblocks are created after strong upward impulses and are invalidated when price closes below them. Bearish orderblocks are created after strong downward impulses and are invalidated when price closes above them. When price trades inside a zone, footprint rows appear. Green-tinted rows show positive delta; red-tinted rows show negative delta. Absorption labels appear when opposing delta prints into a rejecting wick.
Settings that matter : Increasing the Z-Score Window makes orderblocks rarer but more significant. Disabling Prevent Overlap allows stacked zones if you want to study clustering.

RSI Analytic Volume Matrix [RAVM] Overview
RSI Analytic Volume Matrix is an overlay indicator that turns classic RSI into a multi-layered market-reading engine. Instead of treating RSI 30 and 70 as simple buy/sell lines, RAVM combines RSI geometry (angle and acceleration), statistical volume analysis, and a 5×5 VSA-inspired matrix to describe what is really happening inside each candle.
The script is designed as an educational and analytical tool. It does not generate trading signals. Instead, it helps you read the market context, understand where the pressure is coming from (buyers vs. sellers), and see how price, momentum, and volume interact in real time.
Concept & Philosophy
RAVM is built around a hierarchical logic and a few core ideas:
• Hierarchical State Machine: First, RSI defines a context (where we are in the 0–100 range). Then the geometric engine evaluates the angle-of-turn of RSI using a Z-Score. Only after a meaningful geometric event is detected does the system promote a bar to a potential setup (warning vs. confirmed).
• Geometric Primacy: The angle and acceleration of RSI (RSI geometry) are more important than the raw RSI level itself. RAVM uses a geometric veto: if the geometric trigger is not confirmed, the confidence score is capped below 50%, even if volume looks interesting.
• RSI Beyond 30 and 70: Being above 70 or below 30 is not treated as an automatic overbought/oversold signal. RAVM treats those zones as contextual factors that contribute only a partial portion of the final score, alongside geometry, total volume expansion, buy/sell balance, and delta power.
• Volume Decomposition: Volume is decomposed into total, buy-side, sell-side, and delta components. Each of these is normalized with a Z-Score over a shared statistical window, so RSI geometry and volume live in the same statistical context.
• Educational Scoring Pipeline: RAVM builds a 0–100 "Quantum Score" for each detected setup. The score expresses how strong the story is across four dimensions: geometry (RSI angle-of-turn), total volume expansion, which side is driving that volume (buyers vs. sellers), and the power of delta. The score is designed for learning and weighting, not for mechanical trade entries.
• VSA Matrix Engine: A 5×5 matrix combines momentum states and volume dynamics. Each cell corresponds to an interpreted VSA-style scenario (Absorption, Distribution, No Demand, Stopping Volume, Strong Reversal, etc.), shown both as text and as a heatmap dashboard on the chart.
How RAVM Works
1. RSI Context & Geometry
RAVM starts with a classic RSI, but it does not stop at simple level checks. It computes the velocity and acceleration of RSI and normalizes them via a Z-Score to produce an Angle-of-Turn metric (Z-AoT). This Z-AoT is then mapped into a 0–1 intensity value called MSI (Momentum Shift Intensity).
The script monitors both classic RSI zones (around 30 and 70) and geometric triggers. Entering the lower or upper zone is treated as a contextual event only. A setup becomes "confirmed" when a significant geometric turn is detected (based on Z-AoT thresholds). Otherwise, the bar is at most a warning.
2. Volume & Statistical Engine
The volume engine can work in two modes: a geometric approximation (based on candle structure) or a more precise intrabar mode using up/down volume requests. In both cases, RAVM builds a volume packet consisting of:
• Total volume
• Buy-side volume
• Sell-side volume
• Delta (buy – sell)
Each of these series is normalized using a Z-Score over the same statistical window that is used for RSI geometry. This allows RAVM to answer questions such as: Is total volume exceptional on this bar? Is the expansion mostly coming from buyers or from sellers? Is delta unusually strong or weak compared to recent history?
3. Scoring System (Quantum Score)
For each bar where a setup is active, RAVM computes a 0–100 score intended as an educational confidence measure. The scoring pipeline follows this sequence:
A. RSI Geometry (MSI): Measures the strength of the RSI angle-of-turn via Z-AoT. This has geometric primacy over simple level checks.
B. RSI Zone Context: Being below 30 or above 70 contributes only a partial bonus to the score, reflecting the idea that these zones are context, not automatic signals. Mildly supportive zones (e.g., RSI below 50 for bullish contexts) can also contribute with lower weight.
C. Total Volume Expansion: A normalized Volume Power term expresses how exceptional the total volume is relative to its recent distribution. If there is no meaningful volume expansion, the score remains modest even if RSI geometry looks interesting.
D. Which Side Is Driving the Volume: RAVM then checks whether the expansion is primarily on the buy side or the sell side, using Z-Score statistics for buy and sell volume separately. This stage does not yet rely on delta as a power metric; it simply answers the question: "Is this expansion mostly driven by buyers, sellers, or both?"
E. Delta as Final Power: Only at the final stage does the script bring in delta and its Z-Score as a measure of how one-sided the pressure really is. A strong negative delta during a bullish context, for example, can highlight absorption, while a strong positive delta against a bearish context can highlight distribution or a buying climax.
If a setup is not geometrically confirmed (for example, a simple entry into RSI 30/70 without a strong geometric turn), RAVM caps the final score below 50%. This "Geometric Veto" enforces the idea that RSI geometry must confirm before a scenario can be considered high-confidence.
4. Overlay UI & Smart Labels
RAVM is an overlay indicator: all information is drawn directly on the price chart, not in a separate pane. When a setup is active, a smart label is attached to the bar, together with a vertical connector line. Each label shows:
• Direction of the setup (bullish or bearish)
• Trigger type (classic OS/OB vs. geometric/hidden)
• Status (warning vs. confirmed)
• Quantum Score as a percentage
Confirmed setups use stronger colors and solid connectors, while warnings use softer colors and dotted connectors. The script also manages label placement to avoid overlap, keeping the chart clean and readable.
In addition to labels, a dashboard table is drawn on the chart. It displays the currently active matrix scenario, the dominant bias, a short textual interpretation, the full 5×5 heatmap, and summary metrics such as RSI, MSI, and Volume Power.
RSI Is Not Just 30 and 70
One of the central design decisions in RAVM is to treat RSI 30 and 70 as context, not as fixed buy/sell buttons. Many traders mechanically assume that RSI below 30 means "buy" and RSI above 70 means "sell". RAVM explicitly rejects this simplification.
Instead, the script asks a series of deeper questions: How sharp is the angle-of-turn of RSI right now? Is total volume expanding or contracting? Is that expansion dominated by buyers or sellers? Is delta confirming the move, or is there a hidden absorption or distribution taking place?
In the scoring logic, being in a lower or upper RSI zone contributes only part of the final score. Geometry, volume expansion, the buy/sell split, and delta power all have to align before a high-confidence scenario emerges. This makes RAVM much closer to a structured market-reading tool than a classic overbought/oversold indicator.
Matrix User Manual – Reading the 5×5 Grid
The heart of RAVM is its 5×5 matrix, where the vertical axis represents momentum states (M1–M5) and the horizontal axis represents volume dynamics (V1–V5). Each cell in this grid corresponds to a VSA-style scenario. The dashboard highlights the currently active cell and prints a textual description so you can read the story at a glance.
1. Confirmation Scenarios
These scenarios occur when momentum direction and volume expansion are aligned:
• Bullish Confirmation / Strong Reversal: Momentum is shifting strongly upward (often from a depressed RSI context), and expanded volume is driven mainly by buyers. Often seen as a strong bullish reversal or continuation signal from a VSA perspective.
• Bearish Confirmation / Strong Drop: Momentum is turning decisively downward, and expanded volume is driven mainly by sellers. This maps to strong bearish continuation or sharp reversal patterns.
2. Absorption & Stopping Volume
• Absorption: Total volume expands, but the dominant flow is opposite to the recent price move or the geometric bias. For example, heavy selling volume while the geometric context is bullish. This can indicate smart money quietly absorbing orders from the crowd.
• Stopping Volume: Exceptionally high volume appears near the end of an extended move, while momentum begins to decelerate. Price may still print new extremes, but the effort vs. result relationship signals potential exhaustion and the possibility of a turn.
3. Distribution & Buying Climax
• Distribution: Heavy buying volume appears within a bearish or topping context. Rather than healthy accumulation, this often represents larger players offloading inventory to late buyers. The matrix will typically flag this as a bearish-leaning scenario despite strong upside prints.
• Buying Climax: A surge of buy-side volume near the end of a strong uptrend, with momentum starting to weaken. From a VSA point of view, this is often the last push where retail aggressively buys what smart money is selling.
4. No Demand & No Supply
• No Demand: Price attempts to rise but does so on low, non-expansive volume. The market is not interested in following the move, and the lack of participation often precedes weakness or sideways action.
• No Supply: Price tries to push lower on thin volume. Selling pressure is limited, and the lack of supply can precede stabilization or recovery if buyers step back in.
5. Trend Exhaustion
• Uptrend Exhaustion: Momentum remains nominally bullish, but the quality of volume deteriorates (e.g., more effort, less net result). The matrix marks this as an uptrend losing internal strength, often after a series of aggressive moves.
• Downtrend Exhaustion: Similar logic in the opposite direction: strong prior downtrend, but increasingly inefficient downside progress relative to the volume invested. This can precede accumulation or a relief rally.
6. Effort vs. Result Scenarios
• Bullish Effort, Little Result: Buyers invest notable volume, but price progress is limited. This may reveal hidden selling into strength or a lack of follow-through from the broader market.
• Bearish Effort, Little Result: Sellers push volume, but price does not decline proportionally. This can indicate absorption of selling pressure and potential underlying demand.
7. Neutral, Churn & Thin Markets
• Neutral / Thin Market: Momentum and volume both remain muted. RAVM marks these as neutral cells where aggressive decision-making is usually less attractive and observing the broader structure is more important.
• High Volume Churn / Volatility: Both sides are active with high volume but limited directional progress. This can correspond to battle zones, local ranges, or high volatility rotations where the main message is conflict rather than clear trend.
Inputs & Options
RAVM includes several input groups to adapt the tool to your preferences:
• Localization: Multiple language options for all labels and dashboard text (e.g., English, Farsi, Turkish, Russian).
• RSI Core Settings: RSI length, source, and upper/lower contextual zones (typically around 30 and 70).
• Geometric Engine: Z-AoT sigma thresholds, confirmation ratios, and normalization window multiplier. These control how sensitive the script is to RSI angle-of-turn events.
• Volume Engine: Choice between geometric approximation and intrabar up/down volume, Z-Score thresholds for volume expansion, and related parameters.
• Visual Interface: Toggles for smart labels, dashboard table, font sizes, dashboard position, and color themes for bullish, bearish, and warning states.

Smart Money Toolkit - PD Engine Bias Map [KedArc Quant]Description
Smart Money is an advanced multi-layer Smart Money Concepts framework that automatically detects structure shifts, premium-discount zones, and institutional order flow.
It is built around the PD Engine, which calculates the midpoint of the most recent market swing and dynamically determines BUY or SELL bias based on where current price trades relative to that equilibrium. This toolkit visualizes structure, order blocks, and bias context in one clean map, giving traders an institutional-grade view without unnecessary signal clutter.
Why It Is Unique
- All CHoCH, BOS, Order Block, FVG, and PD logic are coded from scratch.
- Uses true equilibrium (50 percent PD midpoint) for dynamic bias.
- Optimized for stability and non-repainting behavior.
- Designed for clarity with minimal, performance-safe visuals.
Entry and Exit Logic (Discretionary Framework)
- This toolkit is not a signal generator. It provides market context that guides discretionary trading.
BUY Bias (Discount Zone)
- Price trades below PD Mid: the market is in discount.
- Wait for a bullish CHoCH or reaction from a demand OB or FVG before buying.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
SELL Bias (Premium Zone)
- Price trades above PD Mid: the market is in premium.
- Wait for a bearish CHoCH or reaction from a supply OB or FVG before shorting.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
Institutional concept sequence: Bias → Structure Shift → Confirmation → Execution.
Input Configuration
Swing Sensitivity - Determines how far back to identify HH and LL pivots.
OB / FVG Detection - Toggles visual Order Block or Fair Value Gap zones.
PD Engine - Shows PD midpoint line, zone shading, and bias table.
Multi-TF Bias Sync - Optionally reads a higher timeframe bias for confirmation.
Color Themes - Switch between light, dark, or institutional palettes.
Formula / Logic Summary
Concept Formula
PD Mid (Equilibrium) (Recent Swing High + Recent Swing Low) / 2
BUY Bias close < PD Mid
SELL Bias close > PD Mid
CHoCH / BOS Pivot-based structure reversal: HH→LL or LL→HH

Change in State of Delivery CISD [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script tracks how price “changes delivery” after failed attempts to push in one direction. It builds swing levels from pivots, watches for those levels to be wicked, and then checks if price delivers cleanly in the opposite direction. When the pattern meets the script’s tolerance rules, it marks a Change in State of Delivery (CISD). These CISD levels are drawn as origin lines and are used to spot shifts in intent, failed pushes, and continuation attempts. A CISD becomes stronger when it forms after opposing liquidity is swept within a defined lookback.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script first defines structure using swing highs/lows. These levels act as potential liquidity points. When price wicks through a swing, the script registers a mitigation event. After this, it looks for a reversal-style candle sequence: a failed push, followed by a counter-move strong enough to pass a tolerance ratio. This ratio compares how far price expanded away from the failed attempt versus the counter-move that followed. If the ratio is high enough, this becomes a CISD. The idea is simple: liquidity interaction sets context , and the tolerance logic identifies actual intent . CISD levels and sweep markers combine these two ideas into a clean map of where delivery flipped.
🟠 FEATURES
Liquidity tracking: marks swing highs/lows and updates them until expiry
Liquidity sweep confirmation when CISD aligns with recent mitigations
Alert conditions for all key events: mitigations, CISDs, and strong CISDs
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. Use it on any timeframe where swing behavior matters. Set the Swing Period for how wide a pivot must be. Set Noise Filter to control how strict the CISD detection is. Liquidity Lookback defines how recent a wick must be to confirm a sweep.
Read the chart : Origin lines mark where the CISD began. A green line signals bullish intent; a red line signals bearish intent. ▲ and ▼ shapes show CISDs that form after liquidity is swept, these mark strong signals for potential entry. Swing dots show recent swing highs/lows. Candle colors follow the latest CISD trend.
Settings that matter : Increasing Swing Period produces fewer but stronger swings. Raising Noise Filter requires cleaner counter-moves and reduces false CISDs. Liquidity Lookback controls how strict the sweep confirmation is. Expiry Bars decides how long swing levels remain active.
Volume-Confirmed FTR Zones [AlgoPoint]FTR Zone Indicator — Fail To Return Zones (With Volume Confirmation)
Advanced Smart Money Zone Detection for Institutional Orderflow
The FTR Zone Indicator is a professional-grade tool designed for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT methodologies, or institutional orderflow. It automatically detects Fail To Return Zones (FTR) — high-probability supply and demand areas formed after strong displacement moves.
By combining impulse detection, base identification, and volume confirmation, this indicator highlights zones where price is most likely to react, reverse, or mitigate shortly after structure breaks.
⸻
⭐ What Are FTR Zones?
FTR zones (Fail To Return zones) are price areas where:
1. A strong displacement / impulse candle is formed
2. That impulse originates from a small consolidation (base)
3. Price moves away aggressively
4. AND fails to return immediately to the origin area
These zones often indicate:
• Institutional orders
• Imbalance
• Hidden liquidity
• Origin of a trend leg
• High-probability mitigation points
This indicator fully automates the detection and visualization of such areas.
🔍 How the Indicator Works
1. Impulse Detection
The indicator identifies a valid impulse candle using:
• ATR-based bar range filter
• Trend-aligned candle body direction
• Optional volume confirmation
Only large, meaningful institutional candles qualify — filtering out noise.
2. Base Zone Identification
Before every impulse, the tool finds the micro-consolidation base using:
• Highest high of the last X bars
• Lowest low of the last X bars
This base becomes the potential FTR zone.
3. FTR Zone Creation
When a valid impulse is detected:
• Bullish impulse → Demand FTR zone
• Bearish impulse → Supply FTR zone
The zone is immediately drawn on the chart using box.new().
4. Zone Extension
Every zone continuously extends to the right as price evolves, allowing you to track:
• Mitigation
• Retests
• Reaction points
• Liquidity sweeps
5. Invalidation Logic
Zones automatically delete when violated:
• Demand zone invalid if close < zone low
• Supply zone invalid if close > zone high
This keeps the chart clean and helps focus only on active, high-value areas.
🎛️ Key Features
✔ Automatic FTR Zone Detection
Instantly identifies institutional origin zones based on real impulse and displacement.
✔ Volume-Based Filtering
Ensures only high-volume impulses (true institutional orders) create zones.
✔ Supply & Demand Coloring
• Bullish FTR → Demand Zone (Teal tone)
• Bearish FTR → Supply Zone (Red tone)
✔ Safe Zone Storage
Fault-tolerant logic ensures no array errors, invalid zones, or broken visuals.
✔ Auto-Extending Boxes
Real-time zone updates with precise historical mapping.
✔ Smart Invalidation
Zone is removed only when fully broken, preventing false signals.
✔ Clean, Non-Repainting Logic
Impulse detection and zone placement are confirmed only on bar close.
📈 How to Use It (Example Schenarios)
For Reversals or Continuations
• Look for price reacting or mitigating inside a zone
• Use as entry confirmation in trend continuations
• Combine with FVG, BOS/CHOCH, liquidity sweeps, or premium/discount zones
For Scalping or Intraday Trading
• High-probability countertrend entries
• Reaction-based setups at institutional footprints
For Swing Traders
• Identify weekly/daily origin zones
