SMT Alert MTF [Elykia]SMT Alert MTF - Smart Money Divergence Scanner
Overview
The SMT Alert MTF is an essential productivity tool for traders applying ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
An SMT divergence ("Smart Money Technique") is one of the most powerful signals to confirm a trend reversal or market manipulation. It occurs when two highly correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P500) move out of sync.
Instead of monitoring 3 different charts across 5 different timeframes manually, this indicator scans everything in the background and alerts you the moment a divergence appears.
💎 The Strategy: How to trade SMT?
SMT is not a blind entry signal; it is a confirmation tool.
1. The Context: Wait for price to reach a Key Level (POI, Order Block) or perform a Liquidity Sweep.
2. The Signal (Desynchronization):
Bullish SMT: Asset A makes a Lower Low, but correlated Asset B makes a Higher Low (Refusal to go lower). This indicates institutional accumulation.
Bearish SMT: Asset A makes a Higher High, but correlated Asset B makes a Lower High (Weakness). This indicates distribution.
Execution: Once the SMT alert triggers on your timeframe (e.g., M1 or M5), look for a Change of Character (CHoCH) to enter the trade.
Key Features & Benefits
⚡ Multi-Timeframe Scanner (MTF): Monitor up to 5 timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h) on a single chart.
🔄 Smart Asset Detection: The script automatically recognizes your current chart and selects the relevant comparison assets:
Trading NQ (Nasdaq) -> Compares with ES (S&P500).
Trading 6E (Euro) -> Compares with 6B (British Pound).
Trading Gold -> Compares with Silver.
(You can also manually override with any symbol).
👀 Visual Clarity: A divergence line is drawn directly on price action (Red for Bearish, Blue for Bullish) labeled with the divergent ticker.
🔔 Comprehensive Alerts: Set up specific alerts for each timeframe (e.g., "Alert me only for M5 or M15 SMT").
Recommended Settings
1. Enable M1, M5, and M15 timeframes for intraday scalping.
2. Keep the automatic symbol detection enabled for Indices and Futures.

FVG-BPR-Candle Volume-v2 [Elykia]FVG-BPR & Volume Z-Score - SMC Enhanced
This indicator is a complete toolkit for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action analysis. It combines three essential elements to identify high-probability zones: Price Inefficiencies (FVG), Balanced Price Ranges (BPR), and Statistical Volume Anomalies (Z-Score).
The goal is simple: Stop trading "blind" levels and start validating every institutional zone with real volume activity.
Key Features
1. 📊 Volume Z-Score (Statistical Analysis):
Colors candles based on volume intensity relative to its historical average (Bollinger/Standard Deviation logic).
Yellow Candles (Z-Score > 2): High volume, significant activity.
Red Candles (Z-Score > 3): Extreme volume, often a sign of "Capitulation" or major impulse.
Circles Option: Displays a circle on extreme candles for enhanced visibility.
2. ⚡ Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Automatically detects imbalance zones (Buy-side & Sell-side).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): Ability to display FVGs from a higher timeframe on your current chart (e.g., H1 FVG on M5 chart).
Dynamic Management: Zones automatically delete once filled (mitigated) to keep the chart clean.
3. 🔄 Balanced Price Ranges (BPR):
Identifies zones where a Bullish FVG and a Bearish FVG overlap.
This is a strong institutional signature indicating aggressive re-pricing. BPRs often act as more reliable support/resistance zones than simple FVGs.
💎 Strategy: "Volume-Backed Rebalancing"
This strategy uses the confluence between SMC structure (FVG/BPR) and Volume confirmation.
1. Zone Identification: Wait for price to form a clear BPR or FVG (M15 or H1 recommended).
2. The Retest (Pullback): Wait for price to return to test this zone. Do not enter blindly (Limit Order), wait for the reaction.
3. Volume Confirmation:
Observe the candle colors within the zone.
If price hits the FVG and a Yellow or Red candle (Volume Z-Score) appears rejecting the zone, this is your signal.
This indicates that institutions are actively defending this level.
4. Entry & Exit: Enter at the close of the volume candle. Place Stop Loss below the FVG/BPR. Target the next liquidity pool (Previous High/Low).

Momentum Market Structure ProThis first indicator in the Beyond Market Structure Suite gives you clear market structure at a glance, with adaptive support & resistance zones. It's the only SMC-style indicator built from momentum highs & lows, as far as I know. It creates dynamic support & resistance zones that change strength and resize intelligently, and gives you timely alerts when price bounces from support/rejects from resistance.
You’re free to use the provided entry and exit signals as a ready-to-use, self-contained strategy, or plug its structure into your existing system to sharpen your edge :
• Market structure bias may help improve a compatible system's win rate by taking longs only in bullish bias and shorts in bearish structure.
• Support/resistance can help trend traders identify inflection points, and help range traders define ranges.
🟩 HIGHLIGHTS
⭐ Unique market structure with different characteristics than purely price-based models.
⭐ Support and resistance created from only the extreme levels.
⭐ Support & resistance zones adapt to remain relevant. Zones are deactivated when they become too weak.
⭐ Long and short signals for a bounce from support/rejection from resistance.
🟩 WHY "MARKET STRUCTURE FIRST, ALWAYS"?
"There is only one side to the stock market; and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side." — Jesse Livermore, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (1923)
If the market is structurally against your trade, you're gonna have a bad time. So you must know what the market structure is before you plan your trade. The more precise and relevant your definition of market structure, the better.
🟩 HOW TO TRADE USING THIS INDICATOR (SIMPLE)
• Directional filter : The prevailing bias background can be used for any kind of trades you want to take. For example, you can long a bounce from support in a bullish market structure bias, or short a rejection from resistance in bearish bias.
• Entries : For more conservative entries, you could wait for a Candle Trend flip after a reaction from your chosen zone (see below for more about Candle Trend).
• Stops : The included running stop-loss level based on Average True Range (ATR) can be used for a stop-loss — set the desired multiplier, and use the level from the bar where you enter your trade.
• Take-profit : Similarly, you can set a Risk:Return-based take-profit target. Support and resistance zones can also be used as full or partial take-profit targets.
See the Advanced section below for more ideas.
🟩 SIGNALS
⭐ ENTRIES
You can enable signals and alerts for bounces from support and rejections from resistance (you'll get more signals using Adaptive mode). You can filter these by requiring corresponding market structure bias (it uses the bias you've already set for the background), and by requiring that Candle Trend confirm the move.
I've slipped in my all-time favourite creation to this indicator: Candle Trend. When price makes a Simple Low pivot, the trend flips bullish. When price then makes a Simple High pivot, the trend flips bearish (see my Market Structure library for a full explanation). This tool is so simple, yet I haven't noticed it anywhere else. It shows short-term trends beautifully. I use it mainly as confirmation of a move. You can use it to confirm ANY kind of move, but here we use it for bounces from support/rejections from resistance.
Note that the pivots and Zigzags are structure, not signals.
⭐ STOPS
You can use the supplied running ATR-based stop level to find a stop-loss level that suits your trading style. Set the desired multiplier, and use the level from the bar where you enter your trade.
⭐ TAKE-PROFIT
Similarly, you can set a take-profit target based on Risk:Return (R:R). If this setting is enabled, the indicator calculates the distance between the closing price and your configured stop, then multiplies that by the configured R:R factor to calculate an appropriate take-profit level. Note that while the stop line is reasonably smooth, the take-profit line varies much more, reflecting the fact that if price has moved away from your stop, the trade requires a greater move in order to hit a given R:R ratio.
Since the indicator doesn't know where you were actually able to enter a position, add a ray using the drawing tool and set an alert if you want to be notified when price reaches your stop or target.
🟩 WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS INDICATOR
⭐ MOMENTUM PIVOTS
Almost all market structure indicators use simple Williams fractals. A very small number incorporate momentum, either as a filter or to actually derive the highs and lows. However, of those that derive pivots from momentum, I'm not aware of any that then create full market structure from it.
⭐ SUPPORT & RESISTANCE
Some other indicators also adjust S/R zones after creation, some use volume in zone creation, some increase strength for overlap, a few merge zones together, and many use price interactions to classify zones. But my implementation differs from others, as far as I can tell after looking at many many indicators, in seven specific ways:
+ Zones are *created* from purely high-momentum pivots, not derived or filtered from simple Williams pivots (e.g. `ta.pivothigh()`).
+ Zones are *weakened* dynamically as well as strengthened. Many people know that S/R gets stronger if price rejects from it, but this is only half the story. Different price patterns strengthen *or weaken* zones.
+ We use *conviction-weighted candle patterns* to adjust strength. Not simply +1 for price touching the zone, but a set of single-bar and multi-bar patterns which all have different effects.
+ The rolling strength adjustments are all *moderated by volume*. The *relative volume* forms a part of each adjustment pattern. Some of our patterns reward strong volume, some punish it.
+ We do our own candle modelling, and the adjustment patterns take this into account.
+ We *resize* zones as a result of certain candle patterns ("indecision erodes, conviction defends").
+ We shrink overlapping zones to their sum *and* add their strengths.
🟩 HOW TO TRADE USING THIS INDICATOR (ADVANCED)
In addition to the ideas in the How to Trade Using This indicator (Simple) section above, here are some more ideas.
You can use the market structure:
• As a bias for entries given by more reactive momentum resets, or indeed other indicators and systems.
• You could use a change in market structure to close a long-running trend-following position.
You can use the distance from a potential entry to the CHoCH line as a filter to choose higher-potential trades in ranging assets.
Confluence between market structure and your favourite trend indicator can be powerful.
Multi timeframe analysis
This is a bit of a rabbit hole, but you could use a split screen with this indicator on a higher timeframe (HTF) view of the same asset:
• If the 1D structure turns bullish, the next time that the 1H structure also flips bullish might be a good entry.
• Rejection from a HTF zone, confirmed by lower timeframe (LTF) structure, could be a good entry.
None of this is advice. You need to master your own system, and especially know your own strengths and weaknesses, in order to be a successful trader. An indicator, no matter how cool, is not going to one-shot that process for you.
In Adaptive mode, a skillful trader will be able to spot more opportunities to classify and use support and resistance than any algorithm, including mine, now that they've been automatically drawn for you.
If you are doing historical analysis, note that the "Calculated bars" setting is set to a reasonably small number by default, which helps performance. Either increase this number (setting to zero means "use all the bars"), or use Bar Replay to examine further back in the chart's history. If you encounter errors or slow loading, reduce this number.
🟩 SUPPORT & RESISTANCE
A support zone is an area where price is more likely to bounce, and a resistance zone is an area where price is more likely to reject. Marking these zones up on the chart is extremely helpful, but time-consuming. We create them automatically from only high-momentum areas, to cut noise and highlight the zones we consider most important.
In Simple mode, we simply mark S/R zones from momentum and Implied pivots. We don't update them, just deactivate them if price closes beyond them. Use this mode if you're interested in only recent levels.
In Adaptive mode, zones persist after they're traversed. Once the zones are created, we adjust them based on how price and volume interact with them. We display stronger zones with more opaque fills, and weaker zones with more transparent fills. To calculate strength, we first preprocess candles to take into account gaps between candles, because price movement after market is just as important in its own way. The preprocessing also redefines what constitutes upper and lower wicks, so as to better account for order flow and commitment. We use these modelled candle values, as well as their relative amplitude historically, rather than the raw OHLC for all calculations for interactions of price and zones. It's important to understand, when trying to figure out why the indicator strengthened or weakened a zone, that it sees fundamental price action in a different way to what is shown on standard chart candles (and in a way that can't easily be represented accurately on chart candles).
Then, we strengthen or weaken , and resize support and resistance zones dynamically using different formulas for different events, based on principles including these:
• The close is the market's "vote", the momentum shift anchor.
• Defended penetrations reveal validated liquidity clusters.
• Markets contract to defended levels.
• "The wick is the fakeout, but the close tells you if institutions held the level." — ICT (Inner Circle Trader)
Adaptive mode is more powerful, but you might need to tweak some of the Advanced Support & Resistance settings to get a comfortable number of zones on the chart.
🟩 MOMENTUM PIVOTS
The building blocks of market structure are Highs and Lows — places where price hits a temporary extreme and reverses. All the indicators I could find that create full market structure do so from basic price pivots — Williams fractals, being the highest/lowest candle wick for N candles backwards and forwards (there are some notable first attempts on TradingView to use momentum to define pivots, but no full structure). "Highest/lowest out of N bars" is the almost universal method, but it also picks up somewhat arbitrary price movements. Recognising this, programmers and traders often use longer lookbacks to focus on the more significant Highs and Lows. This removes some noise, but can also remove detail.
My indicator uses a completely different way of thinking about High and Low pivots. A High is where *momentum* peaks and falls back, and a low is where it dips and then recovers. While this is happening, we record the extremes in price, and use those prices as the High or Low pivot zones.
This deliberately picks out different, more meaningful pivots than any purely price-based approach, helping you focus on the swings that matter. By design, it also ignores some stray wicks and other price action that doesn't reflect significant momentum. Price action "purists" might not like this at first, but remember, ultimately we want to trade this. Check and see which levels the market later respects. It's very often not simply the numerically higher/lower local maxima and minima, but the levels that held meaning, interpreted here through momentum.
The first-release version uses the humble Stochastic as the structural momentum metric. Yes, I know — it's overlooked by most people, but that's because they're using it wrong. Stochastic is a full-range oscillator with medium excursions, unlike RSI, say, which is a creeping oscillator with reluctant resets. This makes Stoch (at the default period of 14) not quite reactive enough for on-the-ball momentum reset entry signals, but close to perfect (no metric is 100%) for structural pivots.
Stochastic is also a solid choice for structure because divergences are rare and not usually very far away in terms of price. More reactive momentum metrics such as Stochastic RSI produce very noisy structure that would take a whole extra layer of interpreting (see Further Research, below).
For these reasons, I may or may not add other options for momentum. In the initial release, I've added smoothed RSI as an alternative just to show it's possible, which takes even longer than Stochastic to migrate from one extreme to another, creating an interesting, longer-term structure.
🟩 IMPLIED PIVOTS
We want pivots to mark important price levels so that we can compute market direction and support & resistance zones from them.
In this context, we see that some momentum metrics, and Stochastic in particular, tend to give multiple consecutive resets in the same direction. In other words, we get High followed by High, or Low followed by Low, which does not give us the chance to create properly detailed structure. To remedy this, we simply take the most extreme price action between two same-direction pivots, and create an Implied pivot out of it, after the second same-direction pivot is created.
Obviously these pivots are created very late. Recalling why we wanted them, we realise that this is fine. By definition , price has not exceeded the Implied Pivot level when they're created. So they show us an interesting level that is yet untested.
Implied Pivots are thus created indirectly by momentum but defined directly by price. They are for structure only. We choose not to give them a Dow type (HH, HL, LH, LL) and not to include them in the Main Zigzag to emphasise their secondary nature. However, Implied Pivots are not "internal" or "minor" pivots. There is no such concept in the current Momentum Market Structure model.
If you want less responsive, more long-term structure, you can turn Implied Pivots off.
🟩 DOW STRUCTURE
Dow structure is the simplest form of market structure — Higher Highs (HHs) and Higher Lows (HLs) is an uptrend (showing buyer dominance), and vice-versa for a downtrend.
We label all Momentum (not Implied) Pivots with their Dow qualifier. You can also choose to display the background bias according to the Dow trend.
There is an input option to enable a "Ranging" Dow state, which happens when you get Lower Highs in an uptrend or Higher Lows in a downtrend.
🟩 SMC-STYLE STRUCTURE (BOS, CHOCH)
The ideas of trend continuation after taking out prior highs/lows and looking for early signs of possible reversal go back to Dow and Wyckoff, but have been popularised by SMC as Break Of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH).
BOS can be used as a trigger: for example:
• Wait for a bullish break of structure
• Then attempt to buy the pullback
• Cancel if structure breaks bearish (meaning, we get a bearish CHoCH break)
How to buy the pullback? This is the trillion-dollar question. First, you need solid structure. Without structure, you got nothin'. Then, you want some identified levels where price might bounce from.
If only we incorporated intelligent support and resistance into this very indicator 😍
Creating and maintaining correct BOS and CHoCH continuously , without resetting arbitrarily when conditions get difficult, is technically challenging. I believe I've created an implementation of this structure that is at least as solid as any other available.
In general, BOS is fully momentum‑pivot‑driven; CHoCH is anchored to momentum pivots but maintained mainly by raw price extremes relative to those anchors (breaks are obviously pure price). This means that the exact levels will sometimes differ from your previous favourite market structure indicator.
We have made some assumptions here which may or may not match any one person's understanding of the "correct" way to do things, including: BOS is not reset on wicks because, for us, if price cannot close beyond the BOS there is no BOS break, therefore the previous wick level is still important. The candidate for CHoCH on opposing CHoCH break *is* reset on a wick, because we want to be sure to overcome the leftover liquidity at that new extreme before calling a Change of Character. The CHoCH is moved on a BOS break. For a bullish BOS break, the new CHoCH is the lowest price *since the last momentum pivot was confirmed, creating the BOS that just broke*, and vice-versa for bearish. If there's a stray wick before that, which doesn't shift momentum, we don't care about it.
🟩 ZIGZAG
The Major Swing Zigzag dynamically connects momentum highs and lows (e.g., from a Higher Low to the latest Higher High), adjusting as new extremes form to reveal the overall trend leg.
The Implied Structure Zigzag joins momentum pivots and Implied pivots, if enabled.
🟩 REPAINTING
It's really important to understand two things before asking "Does it repaint?":
1. ALL structure indicators repaint, in the sense of drawing things into the past or notifying you of things that happened in past bars, because by definition, structure needs some kind of confirmation, which takes at least one bar, usually several. This is normal.
2. Almost all indicators of ANY kind repaint in that they display unconfirmed values until the current bar closes. This is also normal.
Most features of this indicator repaint in the ordinary, intended ways described above: the pivots (Implied doubly so), BOS and CHoCH lines, and formation of S/R zones.
The Zigzags, by design, adjust themselves to new pivots. The active lines often change and attach themselves to new anchors. This is a form of repainting. It's important to note that the Zigzags are not signals. They're there to help visualise market structure, and structure does change. Therefore, I prioritised clearly explaining what price did rather than preserving its history.
One of the "bad" kinds of repainting is if a signal is printed when the bar closes, but then on a later bar that "confirmed" signal changes. This is a fundamental issue with some high timeframe implementations. It's bad because you might already have entered a trade and now the indicator is pretending that it never signalled it for you. My indicators do not do this (in fact I wrote an entire library to help other authors avoid this).
If you are ever in any doubt, play with an indicator in Bar Replay mode to see exactly what it does.
To understand repainting, see the official docs: www.tradingview.com
🟩 FURTHER RESEARCH
I've attempted to answer two of the tricky problems in technical analysis in Pine: how to do robust and responsive market structure, and how to maintain support and resistance zones once created. However, this just opens up more possibilities. Which momentum metrics are suitable for structure? Can more reactive metrics be used, and how do we account for divergences in a structural model based on key horizontal levels? Which sets of rules give the best results for maintaining support and resistance? Does the market have a long or a short memory? Is bar decay a natural law or a coping mechanism?

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
Order Block Last bullish or bearish candle before displacement.
FVG Gap between prior candle high/low and next candle range.
These formulas follow the structure used in institutional Smart Money Concepts.
How It Helps Traders
- Shows institutional premium and discount zones visually.
- Defines clear directional bias before entry.
- Combines structure, order blocks, FVG, and equilibrium in one layout.
- Works on any timeframe or asset.
- Prevents emotional trades by giving objective bias context.
Glossary
PD Mid Midpoint between recent swing high and low (market fair value).
Premium Zone Price above PD Mid; sellers control.
Discount Zone Price below PD Mid; buyers control.
CHoCH Change of Character, first reversal signal.
BOS Break of Structure, trend continuation confirmation.
OB Order Block, last institutional candle before move.
FVG Fair Value Gap, price imbalance often revisited.
FAQ
Q: Is this a signal indicator?
A: No. It is a contextual framework that supports manual decision-making.

ahax – CRT V0 ahax – CRT V0 is an enhanced CRT indicator that works on candlestick formations and generates BUY/SELL signals when certain conditions are met.
In this version, the classic CRT logic has been supplemented with additional controls for more stable operation, with a particular focus on reducing unnecessary signals. Each signal is generated based on the middle candlestick, and confirmation signals (+/-) can be displayed, if desired, based on the close of the next candle.
The indicator works based on the relationship between the left candlestick, the middle candlestick, and the right candlestick. It provides quick visual feedback on points such as trend reversals, potential manipulation, or reaction zones.
It is designed to be simple, clear, and clean, allowing you to adapt it to your own strategy.
It does not include any risk management or trading recommendations.
BOS and CHoCHThe market never moves in a straight line. It moves in waves.
It makes a High, comes down a bit (Low), then breaks the previous High to make a new High.
Similarly, It makes a Low, goes up a bit (High), then breaks the previous Low to make a new Low.
BOS (Break Of Structure) - Trend Continuation
BOS means the market is continuing its current trend. If the market is in an Uptrend and breaks the old "High" -> Bullish BOS. If the market is in a Downtrend and breaks the old "Low" -> Bearish BOS.
3. CHOCH (Change Of Character) - Trend Reversal
CHOCH means the mood of the market has changed. For the first time, the trend has shifted its nature.
Bullish to Bearish CHOCH: The market was making Higher Highs, but suddenly it broke its previous "Low". Now the market can fall.
Bearish to Bullish CHOCH: The market was falling (Lower Lows), but suddenly it broke its previous "High". Now the market can rise.
BOS: Confirms the trend (Breaking the ceiling to go higher).
CHOCH: Signals a trend change (Slipping and falling below the previous floor).
FVG [Stansbooth]Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
Spot Institutional Imbalances. Trade the Rebalance.
Fair Value Gaps reveal where price moved so aggressively that it left behind untraded zones—areas where smart money is likely to return.
What It Detects
Bullish FVG : Gap between Candle 1's high and Candle 3's low — expect price to retrace here for longs
Bearish FVG : Gap between Candle 1's low and Candle 3's high — watch for shorts on the pullback
Why Traders Love It
Markets hate inefficiency. When price rockets through a zone without proper auction, it creates a magnet for future price action. This indicator automatically identifies these imbalances so you can anticipate high-probability reversal and continuation zones.

(CRT) MTF Candle Range Theory Model# 🚀 **CASH Pro MTF – Candle Range Theory (CRT) Indicator**
**The Smart Money ICT Setup Detector** 🔥
Hey Traders!
Here is the **ultimate Pine Script indicator** that automatically detects one of the most powerful Smart Money / ICT setups: **Candle Range Theory (CRT)**
---
### What is Candle Range Theory – CRT?
**CRT** is a high-probability price action model based on **liquidity grabs** and **range expansion**.
Price loves to:
1️⃣ Raid the low/high of the previous candle (take stop-losses)
2️⃣ Then reverse and run to the opposite side of the range (or beyond)
When this happens near a **key higher-timeframe level**, magic happens!
### Bullish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF support**
- Previous candle closes near that support
- Next candle **sweeps the low** (grabs liquidity)
- Current candle **closes above the raided low AND breaks the high** of the sweep candle
**Result → Aggressive bullish move expected!**
**Entry:** On close above the high (or on retest + MSS)
**Stop Loss:** Below the swept low
**Take Profit:** CRT High or next liquidity pool
### Bearish CRT Model
- Price touches a **strong HTF resistance**
- Previous candle closes near resistance
- Next candle **sweeps the high** (grabs buy stops)
- Current candle **closes below the raided high AND breaks the low** of the sweep candle
**Result → Strong bearish expansion!**
**Entry:** On close below the low
**Stop Loss:** Above the swept high
**Take Profit:** CRT Low or next downside liquidity
This whole setup can form in **just 3 candles**… or sometimes more if price consolidates after the sweep.

SCOB Pattern with ERC & AlertsSingle Candle Block (SC0B) consists of a single candle appearing at a significant price level, indicating a confirmed reversal in price direction from that particular area of interest.
SCOB is primarily used to confirm and execute trades.
Using a single candle block to enter a trade minimizes risk and maximizes reward.
Single bullish candle block?
1st candle closes at bullish point of interest with a short or long wick.
2nd candle sweeps the low of previous(1st) candle and closes above the low of previous candle.
3rd candle closes above the high of 2nd candle.
How to trade with Scob bullish.
To Trade using Bullish SCOB you have to wait for price to come down and test the single candle order block.
When price tests the SCOB you can directly execute a buy trade or for a precise entry you can wait for a market structure shift in lower time frame.
Scob discount is the opposite of price increase.
This strategy should only be used when price "sweeps through key lever, liquidity, imbalance, poi htf areas.
This indicator will add a filter to help you reduce signal noise.
Use the "Use engulfing candle to test" function to filter the 3rd candle.
Only search for Scob if the 3rd candle is an Engulfing candle.
The logic for finding Engulfing candles can be changed based on the "% maximum wick length" option. The default is that the candle wick is 25% of the total candle wick length.
You can also use the alert function when Scob appears
With Smart money concept, no strategy is perfect in trading, so you should not risk too much of your capital on this strategy.
To be safer, always remember to use stop loss for every trade.
Mars Signals - Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0(Joker)Comprehensive Trading Manual
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker)
## Chapter 1 – Philosophy & System Architecture
This script is not a simple “buy/sell” indicator.
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) is designed as an institutional-style analytical assistant that layers several methodologies into a single, coherent framework.
The system is built on four core pillars:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
- Detection of Order Blocks (professional demand/supply zones).
- Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) (price imbalances).
2. Smart DCA Strategy
- Combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands
- Identifies statistically discounted zones for scaling into spot positions or exiting shorts.
3. Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
- Distribution of volume by price, not by time.
- Identification of POC (Point of Control) and high-/low-volume areas.
4. Wyckoff Helper – Spring
- Detection of bear traps, liquidity grabs, and sharp bullish reversals.
All four pillars feed into a Confluence Engine (Scoring System).
The final output is presented in the Dashboard, with a clear, human-readable signal:
- STRONG LONG 🚀
- WEAK LONG ↗
- NEUTRAL / WAIT
- WEAK SHORT ↘
- STRONG SHORT 🩸
This allows the trader to see *how many* and *which* layers of the system support a bullish or bearish bias at any given time.
## Chapter 2 – Settings Overview
### 2.1 General & Dashboard Group
- Show Dashboard Panel (`show_dash`)
Turns the dashboard table in the corner of the chart ON/OFF.
- Show Signal Recommendation (`show_rec`)
- If enabled, the textual signal (STRONG LONG, WEAK SHORT, etc.) is displayed.
- If disabled, you only see feature status (ON/OFF) and the current price.
- Dashboard Position (`dash_pos`)
Determines where the dashboard appears on the chart:
- `Top Right`
- `Bottom Right`
- `Top Left`
### 2.2 Smart Money (SMC) Group
- Enable SMC Strategy (`show_smc`)
Globally enables or disables the Order Block and FVG logic.
- Order Block Pivot Lookback (`ob_period`)
Main parameter for detecting key pivot highs/lows (swing points).
- Default value: 5
- Concept:
A bar is considered a pivot low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
Similarly, a pivot high has a high higher than the previous 5 and the next 5 bars.
These pivots are used as anchors for Order Blocks.
- Increasing `ob_period`:
- Fewer levels.
- But levels tend to be more significant and reliable.
- In highly volatile markets (major news, war events, FOMC, etc.),
using values 7–10 is recommended to filter out weak levels.
- Show Fair Value Gaps (`show_fvg`)
Enables/disables the drawing of FVG zones (imbalances).
- Bullish OB Color (`c_ob_bull`)
- Color of Bullish Order Blocks (Demand Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent green (transparency ≈ 80).
- Bearish OB Color (`c_ob_bear`)
- Color of Bearish Order Blocks (Supply Zones).
- Default: semi-transparent red.
- Bullish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bull`)
- Color of Bullish FVG (upward imbalance), typically yellow.
- Bearish FVG Color (`c_fvg_bear`)
- Color of Bearish FVG (downward imbalance), typically purple.
### 2.3 Smart DCA Strategy Group
- Enable DCA Zones (`show_dca`)
Enables the Smart DCA logic and visual labels.
- RSI Length (`rsi_len`)
Lookback period for RSI (default: 14).
- Shorter → more sensitive, more noise.
- Longer → fewer signals, higher reliability.
- Bollinger Bands Length (`bb_len`)
Moving average period for Bollinger Bands (default: 20).
- BB Multiplier (`bb_mult`)
Standard deviation multiplier for Bollinger Bands (default: 2.0).
- For extremely volatile markets, values like 2.5–3.0 can be used so that only extreme deviations trigger a DCA signal.
### 2.4 Volume Profile (Visible Range Sim) Group
- Show Volume Profile (`show_vp`)
Enables the simulated Volume Profile bars on the right side of the chart.
- Volume Lookback Bars (`vp_lookback`)
Number of bars used to compute the Volume Profile (default: 150).
- Higher values → broader historical context, heavier computation.
- Row Count (`vp_rows`)
Number of vertical price segments (rows) to divide the total price range into (default: 30).
- Width (%) (`vp_width`)
Relative width of each volume bar as a percentage.
In the code, bar widths are scaled relative to the row with the maximum volume.
> Technical note: Volume Profile calculations are executed only on the last bar (`barstate.islast`) to keep the script performant even on higher timeframes.
### 2.5 Wyckoff Helper Group
- Show Wyckoff Events (`show_wyc`)
Enables detection and plotting of Wyckoff Spring events.
- Volume MA Length (`vol_ma_len`)
Length of the moving average on volume.
A bar is considered to have Ultra Volume if its volume is more than 2× the volume MA.
## Chapter 3 – Smart Money Strategy (Order Blocks & FVG)
### 3.1 What Is an Order Block?
An Order Block (OB) represents the footprint of large institutional orders:
- Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone)
The last selling region (bearish candle/cluster) before a strong upward move.
- Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone)
The last buying region (bullish candle/cluster) before a strong downward move.
Institutions and large players place heavy orders in these regions. Typical price behavior:
- Price moves away from the zone.
- Later returns to the same zone to fill unfilled orders.
- Then continues the larger trend.
In the script:
- If `pl` (pivot low) forms → a Bullish OB is created.
- If `ph` (pivot high) forms → a Bearish OB is created.
The box is drawn:
- From `bar_index ` to `bar_index`.
- Between `low ` and `high `.
- `extend=extend.right` extends the OB into the future, so it acts as a dynamic support/resistance zone.
- Only the last 4 OB boxes are kept to avoid clutter.
### 3.2 Order Block Color Guide
- Semi-transparent Green (`c_ob_bull`)
- Represents a Bullish Order Block (Demand Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bullish reaction.
- Semi-transparent Red (`c_ob_bear`)
- Represents a Bearish Order Block (Supply Zone).
- Interpretation: a price region with a high probability of bearish reaction.
Overlap (Multiple OBs in the Same Area)
When two or more Order Blocks overlap:
- The shared area appears visually denser/stronger.
- This suggests higher order density.
- Such zones can be treated as high-priority levels for entries, exits, and stop-loss placement.
### 3.3 Demand/Supply Logic in the Scoring Engine
is_in_demand = low <= ta.lowest(low, 20)
is_in_supply = high >= ta.highest(high, 20)
- If current price is near the lowest lows of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Demand Zone → positive impact on score.
- If current price is near the highest highs of the last 20 bars, it is considered in a Supply Zone → negative impact on score.
This logic complements Order Blocks and helps the Dashboard distinguish whether:
- Market is currently in a statistically cheap (long-friendly) area, or
- In a statistically expensive (short-friendly) area.
### 3.4 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
#### Concept
When the market moves aggressively:
- Some price levels are skipped and never traded.
- A gap between wicks/shadows of consecutive candles appears.
- These regions are called Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Imbalances.
The market generally “dislikes” imbalance and often:
- Returns to these zones in the future.
- Fills the gap (rebalance).
- Then resumes its dominant direction.
#### Implementation in the Code
Bullish FVG (Yellow)
fvg_bull_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and low > high and close > high
if fvg_bull_cond
box.new(bar_index , high , bar_index, low, ...)
Core condition:
`low > high ` → the current low is above the high of two bars ago; the space between them is an untraded gap.
Bearish FVG (Purple)
fvg_bear_cond = show_smc and show_fvg and high < low and close < low
if fvg_bear_cond
box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index, high, ...)
Core condition:
`high < low ` → the current high is below the low of two bars ago; again a price gap exists.
#### FVG Color Guide
- Transparent Yellow (`c_fvg_bull`) – Bullish FVG
Often acts like a magnet for price:
- Price tends to retrace into this zone,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then continue higher.
- Transparent Purple (`c_fvg_bear`) – Bearish FVG
Price tends to:
- Retrace upward into the purple area,
- Fill the imbalance,
- And then resume downward movement.
#### Trading with FVGs
- FVGs are *not* standalone entry signals.
They are best used as:
- Targets (take-profit zones), or
- Reaction areas where you expect a pause or reversal.
Examples:
- If you are long, a bearish FVG above is often an excellent take-profit zone.
- If you are short, a bullish FVG below is often a good cover/exit zone.
### 3.5 Core SMC Trading Templates
#### Reversal Long
1. Price trades down into a green Order Block (Demand Zone).
2. A bullish confirmation candle (Close > Open) forms inside or just above the OB.
3. If this zone is close to or aligned with a bullish FVG (yellow), the signal is reinforced.
4. Entry:
- At the close of the confirmation candle, or
- Using a limit order near the upper boundary of the OB.
5. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
- If the OB is broken decisively and price consolidates below it, the zone loses validity.
6. Targets:
- The next FVG,
- Or the next red Order Block (Supply Zone) above.
#### Reversal Short
The mirror scenario:
- Price rallies into a red Order Block (Supply).
- A bearish confirmation candle forms (Close < Open).
- FVG/premium structure above can act as a confluence.
- Stop-loss goes above the OB.
- Targets: lower FVGs or subsequent green OBs below.
## Chapter 4 – Smart DCA Strategy (RSI + Bollinger Bands)
### 4.1 Smart DCA Concept
- Classic DCA = buying at fixed time intervals regardless of price.
- Smart DCA = scaling in only when:
- Price is statistically cheaper than usual, and
- The market is in a clear oversold condition.
Code logic:
rsi_val = ta.rsi(close, rsi_len)
= ta.bb(close, bb_len, bb_mult)
dca_buy = show_dca and rsi_val < 30 and close < bb_lower
dca_sell = show_dca and rsi_val > 70 and close > bb_upper
Conditions:
- DCA Buy – Smart Scale-In Zone
- RSI < 30 → oversold.
- Close < lower Bollinger Band → price has broken below its typical volatility envelope.
- DCA Sell – Overbought/Distribution Zone
- RSI > 70 → overbought.
- Close > upper Bollinger Band → price is extended far above the mean.
### 4.2 Visual Representation on the Chart
- Green “DCA” Label Below Candle
- Shape: `labelup`.
- Color: lime background, white text.
- Meaning: statistically attractive level for laddered spot entries or short exits.
- Red “SELL” Label Above Candle
- Warning that the market is in an extended, overbought condition.
- Suitable for profit-taking on longs or considering short entries (with proper confluence and risk management).
- Light Green Background (`bgcolor`)
- When `dca_buy` is true, the candle background turns very light green (high transparency).
- This helps visually identify DCA Zones across the chart at a glance.
### 4.3 Practical Use in Trading
#### Spot Trading
Used to build a better average entry price:
- Every time a DCA label appears, allocate a fixed portion of capital (e.g., 2–5%).
- Combining DCA signals with:
- Green OBs (Demand Zones), and/or
- The Volume Profile POC
makes the zone structurally more important.
#### Futures Trading
- Longs
- Use DCA Buy signals as low-risk zones for opening or adding to longs when:
- Price is inside a green OB, or
- The Dashboard already leans LONG.
- Shorts
- Use DCA Sell signals as:
- Exit zones for longs, or
- Areas to initiate shorts with stops above structural highs.
## Chapter 5 – Volume Profile (Visible Range Simulation)
### 5.1 Concept
Traditional volume (histogram under the chart) shows volume over time.
Volume Profile shows volume by price level:
- At which prices has the highest trading activity occurred?
- Where did buyers and sellers agree the most (High Volume Nodes – HVNs)?
- Where did price move quickly due to low participation (Low Volume Nodes – LVNs)?
### 5.2 Implementation in the Script
Executed only when `show_vp` is enabled and on the last bar:
1. The last `vp_lookback` bars (default 150) are processed.
2. The minimum low and maximum high over this window define the price range.
3. This price range is divided into `vp_rows` segments (e.g., 30 rows).
4. For each row:
- All bars are scanned.
- If the mid-price `(high + low ) / 2` falls inside a row, that bar’s volume is added to the row total.
5. The row with the greatest volume is stored as `max_vol_idx` (the POC row).
6. For each row, a volume box is drawn on the right side of the chart.
### 5.3 Color Scheme
- Semi-transparent Orange
- The row with the maximum volume – the Point of Control (POC).
- Represents the strongest support/resistance level from a volume perspective.
- Semi-transparent Blue
- Other volume rows.
- The taller the bar → the higher the volume → the stronger the interest at that price band.
### 5.4 Trading Applications
- If price is above POC and retraces back into it:
→ POC often acts as support, suitable for long setups.
- If price is below POC and rallies into it:
→ POC often acts as resistance, suitable for short setups or profit-taking.
HVNs (Tall Blue Bars)
- Represent areas of equilibrium where the market has spent time and traded heavily.
- Price tends to consolidate here before choosing a direction.
LVNs (Short or Nearly Empty Bars)
- Represent low participation zones.
- Price often moves quickly through these areas – useful for targeting fast moves.
## Chapter 6 – Wyckoff Helper – Spring
### 6.1 Spring Concept
In the Wyckoff framework:
- A Spring is a false break of support.
- The market briefly trades below a well-defined support level, triggers stop losses,
then sharply reverses upward as institutional buyers absorb liquidity.
This movement:
- Clears out weak hands (retail sellers).
- Provides large players with liquidity to enter long positions.
- Often initiates a new uptrend.
### 6.2 Code Logic
Conditions for a Spring:
1. The current low is lower than the lowest low of the previous 50 bars
→ apparent break of a long-standing support.
2. The bar closes bullish (Close > Open)
→ the breakdown was rejected.
3. Volume is significantly elevated:
→ `volume > 2 × volume_MA` (Ultra Volume).
When all conditions are met and `show_wyc` is enabled:
- A pink diamond is plotted below the bar,
- With the label “Spring” – one of the strongest long signals in this system.
### 6.3 Trading Use
- After a valid Spring, markets frequently enter a meaningful bullish phase.
- The highest quality setups occur when:
- The Spring forms inside a green Order Block, and
- Near or on the Volume Profile POC.
Entries:
- At the close of the Spring bar, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of the Spring candle.
Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the Spring’s lowest point (wick low plus a small buffer).
## Chapter 7 – Confluence Engine & Dashboard
### 7.1 Scoring Logic
For each bar, the script:
1. Resets `score` to 0.
2. Adjusts the score based on different signals.
SMC Contribution
if show_smc
if is_in_demand
score += 1
if is_in_supply
score -= 1
- Being in Demand → `+1`
- Being in Supply → `-1`
DCA Contribution
if show_dca
if dca_buy
score += 2
if dca_sell
score -= 2
- DCA Buy → `+2` (strong, statistically driven long signal)
- DCA Sell → `-2`
Wyckoff Spring Contribution
if show_wyc
if wyc_spring
score += 2
- Spring → `+2` (entry of strong money)
### 7.2 Mapping Score to Dashboard Signal
- score ≥ 2 → STRONG LONG 🚀
Multiple bullish conditions aligned.
- score = 1 → WEAK LONG ↗
Some bullish bias, but only one layer clearly positive.
- score = 0 → NEUTRAL / WAIT
Rough balance between buying and selling forces; staying flat is usually preferable.
- score = -1 → WEAK SHORT ↘
Mild bearish bias, suited for cautious or short-term plays.
- score ≤ -2 → STRONG SHORT 🩸
Convergence of several bearish signals.
### 7.3 Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is a two-column table:
- Row 0
- Column 0: `"Mars Signals"` – black background, white text.
- Column 1: `"UIS v3.0"` – black background, yellow text.
- Row 1
- Column 0: `"Price:"` (light grey background).
- Column 1: current closing price (`close`) with a semi-transparent blue background.
- Row 2
- Column 0: `"SMC:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_smc = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 3
- Column 0: `"DCA:"`
- Column 1:
- `"ON"` (green) if `show_dca = true`
- `"OFF"` (grey) otherwise.
- Row 4
- Column 0: `"Signal:"`
- Column 1: signal text (`status_txt`) with background color `status_col`
(green, red, teal, maroon, etc.)
- If `show_rec = false`, these cells are cleared.

## Chapter 9 – Timeframe-Based Trading Playbook
### 9.1 Timeframe Selection
- Scalping
- Timeframes: 1M, 5M, 15M
- Objective: fast intraday moves (minutes to a few hours).
- Recommendation: focus on SMC + Wyckoff.
Smart DCA on very low timeframes may introduce excessive noise.
- Day Trading
- Timeframes: 15M, 1H, 4H
- Provides a good balance between signal quality and frequency.
- Recommendation: use the full stack – SMC + DCA + Volume Profile + Wyckoff + Dashboard.
- Swing Trading & Position Investing
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
- Emphasis on Smart DCA + Volume Profile.
- SMC and Wyckoff are used mainly to fine-tune swing entries within larger trends.
### 9.2 Scenario A – Scalping Long
Example: 5-Minute Chart
1. Price is declining into a green OB (Bullish Demand).
2. A candle with a long lower wick and bullish close (Pin Bar / Rejection) forms inside the OB.
3. A Spring diamond appears below the same candle → very strong confluence.
4. The Dashboard shows at least WEAK LONG ↗, ideally STRONG LONG 🚀.
5. Entry:
- On the close of the confirmation candle, or
- On the first pullback into the mid-range of that candle.
6. Stop-loss:
- Slightly below the OB.
7. Targets:
- Nearby bearish FVG above, and/or
- The next red OB.
### 9.3 Scenario B – Day-Trading Short
Recommended Timeframes: 1H or 4H
1. The market completes a strong impulsive move upward.
2. Price enters a red Order Block (Supply).
3. In the same zone, a purple FVG appears or remains unfilled.
4. On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15M), RSI enters overbought territory and a DCA Sell signal appears.
5. The main timeframe Dashboard (1H) shows WEAK SHORT ↘ or STRONG SHORT 🩸.
Trade Plan
- Open a short near the upper boundary of the red OB.
- Place the stop above the OB or above the last swing high.
- Targets:
- A yellow FVG lower on the chart, and/or
- The next green OB (Demand) below.
### 9.4 Scenario C – Swing / Investment with Smart DCA
Timeframes: Daily / Weekly
1. On the daily or weekly chart, each time a green “DCA” label appears:
- Allocate a fixed fraction of your capital (e.g., 3–5%) to that asset.
2. Check whether this DCA zone aligns with the orange POC of the Volume Profile:
- If yes → the quality of the entry zone is significantly higher.
3. If the DCA signal sits inside a daily green OB, the probability of a medium-term bottom increases.
4. Always build the position laddered, never all-in at a single price.
Exits for investors:
- Near weekly red OBs or large purple FVG zones.
- Ideally via partial profit-taking rather than closing 100% at once.
### 9.5 Case Study 1 – BTCUSDT (15-Minute)
- Context: Price has sold off down towards 65,000 USD.
- A green OB had previously formed at that level.
- Near the lower boundary of this OB, a partially filled yellow FVG is present.
- As price returns to this region, a Spring appears.
- The Dashboard shifts from NEUTRAL / WAIT to WEAK LONG ↗.
Plan
- Enter a long near the OB low.
- Place stop below the Spring low.
- First target: a purple FVG around 66,200.
- Second (optional) target: the first red OB above that level.
### 9.6 Case Study 2 – Meme Coin (PEPE – 4H)
- After a strong pump, price enters a corrective phase.
- On the 4H chart, RSI drops below 30; price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band → a DCA label prints.
- The Volume Profile shows the POC at approximately the same level.
- The Dashboard displays STRONG LONG 🚀.
Plan
- Execute laddered buys in the combined DCA + POC zone.
- Place a protective stop below the last significant swing low.
- Target: an expected 20–30% upside move towards the next red OB or purple FVG.
## Chapter 10 – Risk Management, Psychology & Advanced Tuning
### 10.1 Risk Management
No signal, regardless of its strength, replaces risk control.
Recommendations:
- In futures, do not expose more than 1–3% of account equity to risk per trade.
- Adjust leverage to the volatility of the instrument (lower leverage for highly volatile altcoins).
- Place stop-losses in zones where the idea is clearly invalidated:
- Below/above the relevant Order Block or Spring, not randomly in the middle of the structure.
### 10.2 Market-Specific Parameter Tuning
- Calmer Markets (e.g., major FX pairs)
- `ob_period`: 3–5.
- `bb_mult`: 2.0 is usually sufficient.
- Highly Volatile Markets (Crypto, news-driven assets)
- `ob_period`: 7–10 to highlight only the most robust OBs.
- `bb_mult`: 2.5–3.0 so that only extreme deviations trigger DCA.
- `vol_ma_len`: increase (e.g., to ~30) so that Spring triggers only on truly exceptional
volume spikes.
### 10.3 Trading Psychology
- STRONG LONG 🚀 does not mean “risk-free”.
It means the probability of a successful long, given the model’s logic, is higher than average.
- Treat Mars Signals as a confirmation and context system, not a full replacement for your own decision-making.
- Example of disciplined thinking:
- The Dashboard prints STRONG LONG,
- But price is simultaneously testing a multi-month macro resistance or a major negative news event is imminent,
- In such cases, trade smaller, widen stops appropriately, or skip the trade.
## Chapter 11 – Technical Notes & FAQ
### 11.1 Does the Script Repaint?
- Order Blocks and Springs are based on completed pivot structures and confirmed candles.
- Until a pivot is confirmed, an OB does not exist; after confirmation, behavior is stable under classic SMC assumptions.
- The script is designed to be structurally consistent rather than repainting signals arbitrarily.
### 11.2 Computational Load of Volume Profile
- On the last bar, the script processes up to `vp_lookback` bars × `vp_rows` rows.
- On very low timeframes with heavy zooming, this can become demanding.
- If you experience performance issues:
- Reduce `vp_lookback` or `vp_rows`, or
- Temporarily disable Volume Profile (`show_vp = false`).
### 11.3 Multi-Timeframe Behavior
- This version of the script is not internally multi-timeframe.
All logic (OB, DCA, Spring, Volume Profile) is computed on the active timeframe only.
- Practical workflow:
- Analyze overall structure and key zones on higher timeframes (4H / Daily).
- Use lower timeframes (15M / 1H) with the same tool for timing entries and exits.
## Conclusion
Mars Signals – Ultimate Institutional Suite v3.0 (Joker) is a multi-layer trading framework that unifies:
- Price structure (Order Blocks & FVG),
- Statistical behavior (Smart DCA via RSI + Bollinger),
- Volume distribution by price (Volume Profile with POC, HVN, LVN),
- Liquidity events (Wyckoff Spring),
into a single, coherent system driven by a transparent Confluence Scoring Engine.
The final output is presented in clear, actionable language:
> STRONG LONG / WEAK LONG / NEUTRAL / WEAK SHORT / STRONG SHORT
The system is designed to support professional decision-making, not to replace it.
Used together with strict risk management and disciplined execution,
Mars Signals – UIS v3.0 (Joker) can serve as a central reference manual and operational guide
for your trading workflow, from scalping to swing and investment positioning.
QT Previous Micro Cycle Range + SSMT [bilal]Previous Micro Cycle Range + SMTs - Indicator Description
📊 Overview
This indicator tracks 22.5-minute micro cycles within ICT's Quarterly Theory framework and automatically detects Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences across correlated indices (NQ, ES, YM). It visualizes previous cycle ranges and identifies high-probability manipulation completions for precise intraday entries.
🎯 What It Does
Micro Cycle Tracking:
Divides each 90-minute session into four 22.5-minute micro quarters
Plots the previous micro cycle's High, Low, Equilibrium (EQ), and Quarter levels
Updates automatically as new micro cycles form
Works on any timeframe (recommended: 1-5 minute charts)
SMT Detection:
Compares current micro cycle vs previous micro cycle across NQ, ES, and YM
Detects Bearish SMT: Divergence at highs (signals distribution down)
Detects Bullish SMT: Divergence at lows (signals distribution up)
Draws visual SMT lines with directional arrows showing correlation/divergence
Optional SMT table showing all three indices' movements
💡 How To Use It
For Scalpers & Day Traders:
Wait for a new micro cycle to begin (lines will refresh every 22.5 minutes)
Watch for SMT formation in the current cycle
Bullish SMT = Buy signal (previous low is confirmed, expect move to previous high)
Bearish SMT = Sell signal (previous high is confirmed, expect move to previous low)
Key Concepts:
Minimum Target: Opposite extreme of previous cycle
SMT Confirmation: One or two indices sweep a level while the other(s) fail to sweep
Best Results: Trade with higher timeframe bias aligned
⚙️ Features
Customizable Display:
Toggle High/Low lines with multiple label styles (Timeframe, Label, %, Fib)
Optional Equilibrium (50%) level

Chart Requirement: 30-second timeframe only.
Note: This is a study indicator. It does not generate automatic buy/sell signals - you must interpret SMT formations based on your trading strategy and higher timeframe bias.
AURORA LEGACY INDICATOR
The AURORA LEGACY is an advanced indicator developed in Pine Script v6 for the TradingView platform, designed to integrate multiple approaches of technical analysis into a single modular and customizable system. Its architecture combines classic elements, such as exponential moving averages (EMA Ribbon), RSI, and ATR, with modern tools inspired by Smart Money Concepts (SMC), including Supply & Demand zones, Break of Structure (BOS), and Points of Interest (POI).
The indicator is structured to provide traders with flexibility, offering pre-configured trading profiles (Scalper, Day Trade, Swing Trade, Sniper) or full manual customization of moving averages. The dynamic Ribbon serves as the core of trend analysis, supported by additional confluences through secondary moving averages (VWMA, LWMA, SMMA) and volatility filters based on ATR.
Key features include:
Trend & Signal System: detection of reversals and trend confirmations through Ribbon color alignment, with automated buy/sell alerts.
Automated Risk Management: dynamic calculation of entry levels, Stop Loss (SL), and multiple Take Profits (TPs), displayed on chart with labels and risk-reward ratio (R:R).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Trend Table: consolidated overview of trend, RSI, and volatility (ATR) across different timeframes (5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, Daily).
Smart Money Concepts Integration: automatic detection and marking of Supply & Demand zones, BOS, market structure zigzag, and points of interest.
Complementary Tools: customizable RSI signals by profile, daily support and resistance levels, CPR levels, and visual session markers (London, New York) including overlap zones.
This system was designed to provide a holistic trading approach, combining price action, volatility, indicator confluence, and institutional concepts to support traders of different profiles in making clearer and more precise decisions.
Buy Sell Entry Filter SYS (SMC IDM LIT)BUY SELL Entry FILTER
An advanced market analysis tool. It provides visual Buy/Sell signals in the form of triangles (▲▼), as well as analytical elements such as Entry/Stop Loss lines, a delta table, overbought and oversold zones, structural market elements with breakouts, displays information from higher time frames, and most importantly, liquidity blocks that trigger reactions. The indicator has a number of built-in filters that help remove unnecessary Buy/Sell signals from the chart. This allows you to create several profitable strategies. You don't need to sit in front of the charts; the alert system (ALERTS) will tell you when to pay attention to the chart and quickly enter a trade.
There are many signals, and the ▲▼ lines themselves are not an entry point. You need to filter them using other tools, such as liquidity blocks (LB and HTF LB), trend, OS/OB, Delta, and Pullback breakout.
If the ▲▼ appears in the right place, for example, in the liquidity block with the correct trend and the correct delta, then you can enter a trade!
Ideally, take short trades of 1/3 – 1/5 RR on a 1-minute timeframe and be sure to set a stop loss.
Remember! You are solely responsible for your deposit!
Buy/Sell, Entry/SL, OS/OB, Filter, EMA, Delta
This main group of settings is responsible for generating buy and sell signals, setting filters, and displaying moving averages.
1. Buy/Sell Main: Enables/disables the display of the main Buy/Sell signal as a ▲▼. This is a specific pattern that identifies potential trend reversals or continuations.
Buy/Sell Simple: Toggles the display of a simplified Buy/Sell signal in the ▲▼ pattern.
This pattern is less powerful than the main one, but works well in certain contexts.
2. Trend Delta Table: Displays a table on the chart showing the cumulative volume delta for the current trend, as well as the percentage. Useful for assessing the strength of a trend.
3. Entry/SL: When enabled, draws horizontal lines on the chart for Entry and Stop Loss.
4. Filters (Delta, Trend, OS/OB, HTF OS/OB):
These filters help filter out false signals. A Buy/Sell signal is displayed only if it passes all enabled filters:
Delta Filter: A signal is generated if the volume percentage delta (set by the user) matches the signal direction (positive for Buy, negative for Sell).
Trend Filter (EMA): A signal is generated if it matches the trend direction.
OS/OB Filter (RSI): A signal is generated if the price where the signal formed is in the desired zone (below Oversold for Buy, above Overbought for Sell).
HTF OS/OB Filter (RSI): Same as OS/OB, but uses the RSI on a higher timeframe (HTF).
EMA 1 & EMA 2: Displays two exponential moving averages on the chart (default 50 and 100). The line color changes (e.g., green if EMA1 is above EMA2).
Overbought/oversold zone
This group configures overbought/oversold levels and zones, both on the current and higher timeframes.
1. OS/OB zone: Enables/disables the display of dynamic overbought (Oversold) and oversold (Overbought) levels. These levels "float," adapting to the current price. 2. Period: Period for calculating zones (default 50)
OS: Level below which the Oversold zone is defined (default 40).
OB: Level above which the Overbought zone is defined (default 60).
Labels: Toggles the display of text labels (--- OB, --- OS) next to the corresponding levels.
Mid: Toggles the display of the center level and its color.
HTF Zones & Labels: Same as for OS/OB, but for levels on a higher timeframe (HTF).
Smooth: Enables smoothing for calculated price levels of zones, making the lines less sharp.
Structure / Breakout line
This setting adds structural analysis elements and breakout lines to the chart. 1. BO Lines (Breakout Lines): Displays horizontal lines on the chart when the price breaks through the external pullback against the trend, thus showing ChoCh.
2. HH/LL: Displays markers (HH - LL - HL - LH) on the chart to indicate key market structural points.________________________________________
Pullbacks EXT/INT
This setting is responsible for the visualization of pullback lines (Pullback) at external (EXT) and internal (INT) levels.
1. Ext (External): Displays lines connecting external extremes (Pullback), showing potential pullback levels.
2. Int (Internal): Displays lines connecting internal extremes (Pullback).
3. Pending Ext/Int: Displays potential pullback lines that may form if the price reaches the next extreme.
Liquidity blocks
Adds visual rectangles (blocks) to the chart, representing potential liquidity zones (where large orders were placed).
1. LB tune: Parameter determining how many candles are used to determine the pattern for a block.
2. High zone: Color of the line inside the block, indicating the strongest part of the block.
3. Show deleted: Shows deleted (broken) blocks in a different color.
4. Volume LB: Enables/disables the display of the volume value in the block.
Quick liquidity blocks
Similar to main blocks, but creates quick blocks. If a quick block is confirmed, it becomes the main LB; if not, it disappears.
1. Quick LB: Enables/disables quick blocks.
2. QLB tune: Pattern length parameter for quick blocks.
HTF liquidity blocks
Displays LB from a higher timeframe (HTF), using the same principles as main blocks. 1. HTF: Enable/disable HTF blocks.
2. Select a timeframe for calculation.
Alerts
A system for alerting you to important indicator actions. Alerts are triggered by certain events.
1. Bull PB Breakout / Bear PB Breakout: Alert when the external pullback is broken and a ChoCh is formed.
2. Trend Change: Alert when a trend changes.
3. New Block: Alert when a new main liquidity block is formed.
4. New HTF Block: Alert when a new HTF liquidity block is formed.
5. Touch Block: Alert when the price of the main liquidity block is touched.
6. Touch HTF Block: Alert when the price of the HTF liquidity block is touched.
7. Touch mode / Touch mode HTF: Select the alert frequency (before or after the bar closes).

Liquidity Sweeps + Swing High/Low — SMC/ICT (@PueblaATH)Liquidity Sweeps + Swing High/Low — SMC/ICT (@PueblaATH) is a liquidity-driven Smart Money Concepts tool that automatically maps out key swing highs and lows, tracks how they evolve into liquidity pools, and highlights when those levels are swept and either respected or invalidated. This indicator is built to give traders a clean, event-driven view of stop runs and liquidity grabs across any timeframe, from scalping to higher-timeframe context.
What the Indicator Does
Swing Structure & Liquidity Pools
Detects swing highs and lows using a configurable swing length, projects levels forward in time, and builds a liquidity-pool database through pivot arrays used for sweep detection.
Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Runs)
Identifies bearish (upward) and bullish (downward) sweeps through prior liquidity levels using three modes: Any Touch, Wick + Close Back, and Retest Rejection.
Each sweep can generate projective lines, labeled markers, and alerts.
Scope, Rate Limiting & Clean Visuals
Controls minimum spacing between swings and sweeps, limits sweep duplication, auto-revokes invalidated sweeps, and restricts the maximum number of visible events.
Smart offset logic reduces label overlap and keeps charts clean even in dense price action.

Gold 1&5 Min Trading Strategy [TradingFinder] XAU Scalper Signal🔵 Introduction
Scalping in financial markets is based on immediate price reactions and precise analysis of price action behavior. In this trading approach, the trader must identify signals that originate directly from market structure, momentum shifts, candlestick formations, and the position of price relative to key zones.
Supply and demand areas serve as the primary regions of order concentration and form the foundation of scalping analysis, since they provide the most accurate representation of balance or imbalance between buyers and sellers as well as the active flow of liquidity in the market.
In demand zones, price reactions usually begin with the formation of reversal or continuation candlestick patterns. These patterns include structures such as Pin Bar, Engulfing, Doji, Failure, Rejection, and other forms of false breakout behavior, each of which can indicate a potential short term change in direction.
Liquidity plays a central role in these reactions, because price entering a demand zone typically coincides with the absorption of sell side liquidity and the restoration of order flow. This process often leads to rapid movements that are suitable for scalping. Therefore, combining candlestick confirmation with the location of price inside a supply or demand zone is one of the most reliable methods of identifying low risk scalping signals.
Demand zones include several structural variations, each representing a different form of liquidity behavior. One of the most well known examples is the order block, which is the final bearish candle before a strong bullish movement and indicates the presence of unfilled buy side interest.
Another important structure is the Fair Value Gap, which appears when a price void forms across three consecutive candles due to a lack of liquidity during the moment of displacement. The market often returns to this area to restore balance. Imbalance structures also represent one sided pressure in order flow where the market reacts later to correct these inefficiencies.
Breaker structure is another key element in demand analysis. A breaker is formed when an order block is violated and price returns to the same level after collecting liquidity, then continues in the opposite direction. This pattern often appears near liquidity based highs or lows and reflects a shift in the strength of market participants.
Together, order blocks, Fair Value Gaps, imbalances, and breakers form the core of demand analysis in price action and are widely used in precise scalping strategies due to their strong connection with liquidity and the high predictability of price reactions within them.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This strategy is built on price action analysis, market reactions inside supply and demand zones, and confirmation through candlestick patterns. The first step is to identify key areas such as order blocks, Fair Value Gaps, imbalances, or breakers.
After these zones are located, price behavior within them is examined using candlestick structure and momentum direction. Entries are taken only when price reaches a validated zone, a clear sign of liquidity absorption or injection appears, and a confirming candlestick forms inside the zone.
This approach allows the trader to capture fast and precise entries during moments when the market is actively reacting to decision points.
🟣 Long Setup
In the buy setup, a valid demand zone must first be identified. This can be a bullish order block, an unfilled bullish Fair Value Gap, an imbalance at the lower part of structure, or a bullish breaker. When price enters this zone and shows signs of absorbing sell side liquidity, candlestick behavior must be examined.
Formation of reversal signals such as a Pin Bar with a long lower wick, bullish Engulfing, Rejection Candle, or a false breakout of the low, indicates a favorable shift in order flow. After receiving candlestick confirmation, a buy entry is taken within the same zone and the stop level is placed below the liquidity boundary. Targets are typically based on filling gaps, reaching supply zones, or returning to structural means.
🟣 Short Setup
In the sell setup, a valid supply zone must be recognized. This may include a bearish order block, a bearish Fair Value Gap, an imbalance at the upper part of structure, or a bearish breaker. When price enters this zone and liquidity accumulates above nearby highs, the probability of a fast momentum shift increases.
Confirmation occurs when a bearish reversal pattern forms such as Engulfing, Pin Bar with a long upper wick, indecisive Doji followed by rejection, or a false breakout of the high. After confirmation, the sell entry is placed and the stop level is set above the liquidity zone. Targets are selected based on filling lower Fair Value Gaps, reaching demand zones, or returning to structural midpoints.
🔵 Settings
Last Candle in Signal Direction : When On, a signal is issued only if the last candle moves in the direction required by the signal.
Signal in Nearly Zone : When enabled, the signal becomes valid even if the candle is near the zone rather than strictly inside it. When disabled, only signals formed inside the zone are allowed.
Allow Both Side Signals : When On, signals from both sides of the structure can be issued even if a limiting level exists. When disabled, only signals that do not violate the limiting level are allowed.
🔵 Conclusion
Using price action, supply and demand zones, and candlestick confirmation alongside liquidity analysis creates an effective framework for identifying fast market reactions in scalping conditions. Focusing on structures such as order blocks, Fair Value Gaps, imbalances, and breakers allows the trader to recognize shifts in momentum and changes in order flow with greater precision.
In this approach, entries are taken only when price reaches a validated zone, liquidity behavior is observable, and the confirming candle forms at the correct location. This leads to organized, low risk scalping signals that are aligned with the real time behavior of the market.
