Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks – Institutional Rejection Zone Detection
The Smarter Money Volume Rejection Blocks indicator combines high-volume analysis with statistical confidence intervals to identify where institutional traders are actively defending price levels through volume spikes and rejection patterns.
🔥 Core Methodology
Volume Spike Detection analyzes when current volume exceeds moving average by configurable multipliers (1.0-5.0x) to identify institutional activity
Rejection Candle Analysis uses dual-ratio system measuring wick percentage (30-90%) and maximum body ratio (10-60%) to confirm genuine rejections
Statistical Confidence Channels create three-level zones (upper, center, lower) based on ATR or Standard Deviation calculations
Smart Invalidation Logic automatically clears zones when price significantly breaches confidence levels to maintain relevance
Dynamic Channel Projection extends confidence intervals forward up to 200 bars with customizable length
Support Zone Identification detects bullish rejections where smart money absorbs selling pressure with high volume and strong lower wicks
Resistance Zone Mapping identifies bearish rejections where institutions defend price levels with volume spikes and pronounced upper wicks
Visual Information Dashboard displays real-time status table showing volume spike conditions and active support/resistance zones
⚙️ Technical Configuration
Dual Confidence Interval Methods: Choose between ATR-Based for trend-following environments or StdDev-Based for range-bound statistical precision
Volume Moving Average: Configurable period (default 20) for baseline volume comparison calculations
Volume Spike Multiplier: Adjustable threshold from 1.0 to 5.0 times average volume to filter institutional activity
Rejection Wick Percentage: Set minimum wick size from 30% to 90% of candle range for valid rejection detection
Maximum Body Ratio: Configure body-to-range ratio from 10% to 60% to ensure genuine rejection structures
Confidence Multiplier: Statistical multiplier (default 1.96) for 95% confidence interval calculations
Channel Projection Length: Extend confidence zones forward from 10 to 200 bars for anticipatory analysis
ATR Period: Customize Average True Range lookback from 5 to 50 bars for volatility-based calculations
StdDev Period: Adjust Standard Deviation period from 10 to 100 bars for statistical precision
🎯 Real-World Trading Applications
Identify high-probability support zones where institutional buyers have historically defended price with significant volume
Map resistance levels where smart money sellers consistently reject higher prices with volume confirmation
Combine with price action analysis to confirm breakout validity when price approaches confidence channel boundaries
Use invalidation signals to exit positions when smart money zones are definitively breached
Monitor the real-time dashboard to quickly assess current market structure and active rejection zones
Adapt strategy based on calculation method: ATR for trending markets, StdDev for ranging conditions
Set alerts on confidence level breaches to catch potential trend reversals or continuation patterns
📈 Visual Interpretation Guide
Green Zones indicate bullish rejection blocks where buyers defended with high volume and lower wicks
Red Zones indicate bearish rejection blocks where sellers defended with high volume and upper wicks
Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred
Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations
Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time
Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions
⚠️ Important Considerations
Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty
Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously
High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning
Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries
Auto Fibonacci Retracement (Labeled Swings, Rounded Prices)This tool automatically detects the latest confirmed swing high and swing low on your chart, using a user-settable pivot length. It then plots standard Fibonacci retracement levels between these confirmed pivots, labeling each retracement line with its percentage and rounded price for instant reference. All levels update only on swing confirmation, ensuring strict non-repainting logic and transparency.
How it works
Swing Detection:
Uses Pine Script’s native ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to locate swing pivots after full confirmation, reducing noise and false signals.
Fibonacci Calculation:
Once two confirmed swings are found, the script draws standard Fibonacci retracement levels (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%) between these anchors. The levels adapt to both uptrends and downtrends, based on swing position.
Customization and Clarity:
Users can choose which retracement levels to display and adjust colors, line thickness, styles, and label sizes for chart clarity. All price labels are rounded for improved visibility.
Non-Repainting:
All levels are plotted only after a swing is confirmed by the market; nothing redraws retroactively.
How To Use It
Add the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
Select your preferred pivot length:
Smaller values yield more frequent swings, larger values wait for major structure.
Toggle each Fibonacci level you wish to see in the settings.
Adjust line and label appearance to fit your style.
Interpret retracement levels as potential support/resistance zones, awareness for pullbacks, and context for trend direction.
Combine the indicator with your technical, price action, or volume analysis to plan entries, stops, and targets.
What Traders Should Look For
Visual retracement map between confirmed swings:
Fib lines auto-update as new swings are confirmed, keeping your chart relevant.
Price reaction at Fib levels:
Watch for reversals, consolidations, or continuations near labeled percentages and prices.
Trend assessment:
Quickly spot whether market structure is showing shallow or deep retracements by the distance between levels.
Confluence:
Use retracement levels along with other indicators or market structure for more robust trade setups.
Key Features
Strict non-repainting logic (confirmed swings only)
Configurable retracement levels: Enable/disable each Fib line.
Rounded price & percentage labels
Visual customization: Colors, thickness, line style, label size
Automatic detection of direction (uptrend/downtrend pivots)

1st 4H Candle [ApexFX]Overview
This indicator identifies the very first 4-hour candle of the trading day and plots its high and low as horizontal lines. These levels are designed to act as key support and resistance for the rest of the 24-hour session.
The lines are calculated using 4-hour data but display on any timeframe, allowing you to see these key daily levels while trading on lower timeframes like the 15-minute or 5-minute chart. The lines extend for the first six 4-hour candles (24 hours) before stopping.
Features
Flexible Timezone: A simple dropdown menu to select your local timezone (e.g., "America/New_York", "Europe/London", "UTC") to ensure the candle is always correctly identified.
Asset Presets: Instantly set the correct start time for major asset classes:
Forex (23:00)
Indices (00:00)
Crypto (21:00)
Fully Custom: A "Custom" option lets you define any hour and minute for the start of your session, giving you full control for other assets like Gold or Oil.
Custom Colors: Change the color of the high and low lines from the settings menu.
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the indicator's "Settings".
In the "Your Timezone" dropdown, select the same timezone you use for your chart (e.g., "America/New_York").
In the "Asset Type Preset" dropdown, choose the asset you are trading (e.g., "Indices").
The indicator will wait for the first 4-hour candle (e.g., the 00:00 candle for Indices) to close, and then it will automatically draw the high and low lines.
Higher Timeframe Candle LevelsThis is an indicator that shows higher time frame candle levels from various preset timeframes. These higher time frame candles act as support and resistance levels, so look for reversals and continuations off of these levels. When price exceeds the high or low of these levels, you should look for breakouts in the same direction and trade with the trend.
It includes candle levels for the following timeframes: 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter and 1 year. The indicator also includes a trend candle coloring feature, trend strength scoring table, stop loss feature, line identification labels, alerts for trend changes, alerts for level touches and full customization of all options.
How To Trade With This Indicator
These higher timeframe candle levels will act as support and resistance levels, so look for price to react at any of the levels you have turned on and then look for potential bounce or reversal signs at those levels so you can trade those direction changes. Price outside of the higher timeframe candle highs and low typically signals a breakout as well, so look for price to continue after passing the highs or lows.
You can use the direction of the higher timeframe candles as your trend as well. Try to only trade in the direction of the trend of the higher timeframes to increase the likelihood of your trade going in your favor.
The highs and lows of daily and up levels are excellent levels to find quick reversal off of. Watch for price action to struggle to break through these levels and then trade the reversal. If price breaks through these levels easily, watch for price to retest the level and then continue beyond that level. Trade the retest in the direction of the trend.
The open, close and midline levels are excellent for trading bounces. Watch for price to form wicks beyond these levels and close on the other side and use that as a sign that price may bounce there. Use that with price action to confirm your trade and then take trades off of those level bounces.
Use the alerts for daily and up timeframe level touches across all of your favorite markets so that way you are always notified in real time when price is at a level that could provide a potential trading opportunity.
Higher Time Frame Candle Levels
The indicator shows the current candle open, previous open, previous high, previous low, previous close and previous candle body midline levels of each candle for each time frame. This helps you easily see what is going on with the higher time frame candles and read the price action from your lower time frame charts.
Each candle level will paint red if it was a down candle or green if it was an up candle, except the midlines and current candle open lines, those are a different color for easy differentiation. The line colors can be customized to your preferences in the settings and you can also toggle the candle body coloring on or off, as well as change the color of the candle body background.
Each timeframe can be adjusted to your preferences, allowing you to turn all of the levels on or off. You can also adjust how many previous candles show up on your chart so you can backtest it and see for yourself how accurate these levels are.
When adjusting the number of candles, you will get a notification if you have more than 500 lines turned on, so just turn down the number of levels for whatever timeframe you can’t see on your chart to lower that number below 500. The notification will go away once you are under 500 lines again. Each candle has 6 lines if all levels are turned on for that timeframe: open, current candle open, close, high, low and midline. The default settings keep you under 500 lines total, so just be aware of that limitation when adjusting those numbers and adjust the number of levels down on the timeframes that are not useful on the current chart bar.
You can also extend the levels right on any time frame from the daily levels and above. This is useful when price is breaking above or below all levels and you need to know if there are any other previous candle levels in the way as price moves away from the most recent higher time frame candles.
To understand the intraday trend of each higher time frame, look to see where price is at according to each higher time frame candle. If the price is above the midline of the candle, it is bullish. If the price is above the candle body it is more bullish. If the price is above the high, it is very bullish. If the price is below the midline of the candle, it is bearish. If the price is below the candle body it is more bearish. If the price is below the low, it is very bearish. Make sure you backtest this yourself and go through lots of historical data to get a feel for how price reacts to these levels and establishes the trend. Then use that trend information to your advantage and trade in the direction of the trend.
Since users are limited to a certain amount of historical bars based on which Tradingview plan you have, some longer timeframe levels won’t show up because the start of that candle is too far back in history. You will get a notification at the top of that chart if that happens. It will tell you to lower the display timeframe for that timeframe until that notification goes away, which means it was able to plot the most recent candle for that timeframe on your chart.
Trend Candle Coloring
The indicator includes a feature that paints the candles based on whether the current time frame candles are above or below the most recent midline, candle body or high & low of a higher time frame candle of your choice. This helps you see the overall trend of the higher timeframe so you can trade with the trend.
The candle coloring will have an up color, down color and neutral color which can all be customized to suit your preferences. If the current time frame candle close is above the setting you choose, it will show the up color. If the current time frame candle close is below the setting you choose, it will show the down color. If the current time frame candle close is equal to or in the middle of the setting you chose, it will show the neutral color.
So, for example if you set it to candle body, then it will show the up color if the current candle is above the top of the candle body, down color if it is below the bottom of the candle body and neutral color if it is inside the candle body. This helps you wait for price action to move beyond the inside of the previous higher time frame candle before taking a position when price is breaking out of that previous candle so you can trade the momentum of that move. The candle coloring is fully customizable, but make sure to turn off your candle coloring on other indicators and your chart settings for it to show up properly.
Trend Strength Scoring Table
The trend strength scoring table displays a table at the bottom of the screen(table position is customizable), showing a score for the trend strength of each higher time frame. If the current candle close is above the midline, its strength is 1. If the current candle close is above the midline, but below the top of the candle body, its strength is 2. If the current candle close is above the high, its strength is 3. The same goes for below the midline, bottom of the candle body and below the low, but the scores would be negative 1, 2 or 3 instead.
This trend strength table allows you to quickly identify the trend on each higher time frame so you can wait until the trend is the same across all time frames before placing a trade in the direction of the trend. It also shows a total score on the far right side that adds all of the current trend scores together to give you a total strength score. Try to only trade when that number is very high compared to how many time frames you have turned on. Each time frame can have up to a maximum score of 3 if bullish and -3 if bearish. Each time frame in the table can be turned on or off to suit your preferences.
Stop Loss Feature
There is also a stop loss feature that you can set to whatever time frame you choose and whatever direction you chose, such as long or short. It will follow the most recent higher time frame candle’s trend using one of the following settings: candle body, high & low or midline. Once a new higher time frame candle is created, the stop loss will update to the most recent candle’s levels so you can use these levels as a trailing stop loss to maximize your wins.
If you have it set to use the candle body and it is set to long mode, then the stop loss will use the previous higher time frame candle’s lowest candle body level. So if it was an up candle previously, it will use the open. If it was a down candle previously, it will use the close. The opposite is true for short positions.
The stop loss will start working once you turn it on in the settings and will update automatically as new higher time frame candles are formed. It also shows a line of where the stop loss was previously since it was turned on.
I recommend using the high & low setting, especially when the market starts trending.
Candle Level Identification Labels
There are labels for each level starting with the 4 hour time frame and above so you can easily tell what level of each candle you are looking at, even if the rest of the candle is not showing within the chart pane. You can customize the label coloring for up candles and down candles and midlines as well as adjust the number of bars that the labels are offset from the current bar so they are visible on your chart without overlapping the current price action or other indicator labels. Labels for each time frame can be turned on or off as needed. The 1 hour labels were not included because it clogs up the chart, but it has labels for all time frames from the 4 hour candles and up.
Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for when the trend has changed to the opposite direction. The trend change alert is based on your settings for the Trend Candle Coloring. Whatever settings you have the trend candle coloring set to, will be used to set up your alerts. The Trend Candle Coloring setting must be turned on as well when creating your alerts for it to work properly. Make sure to backtest your settings and then create your alerts.
It also has alerts for when price is touching an open or close, high or low, midline or any of those levels for each timeframe. This allows you to be notified when price touches one of these levels so you can check the chart and look for potential trade opportunities if price wants to bounce off of that level. To make it easy for you to get alerts on many different tickers, just use the alert for any level touch on whatever timeframes you want.
Other Indicators To Pair This With
Use this in combination with our Trend Strength Indicator so you can visually see the historic and current trend for all of these levels. You should also use our Breakout Scanner to find other markets with strong trends so you always know which market is trending the strongest and can trade those. Trend Strength Indicator, Higher Timeframe Candle Levels and the Breakout Scanner all use the same levels and calculate the trend scores the same way so they are designed to work together to help you quickly be able to read a chart and find what direction to trade in.
Zone Tap Counter: Support & Resistance StrengthWhat is this indicator?
This script is designed to help traders objectively monitor the strength and significance of price zones by counting and visualizing how many times price “taps” confirmed support and resistance levels. The indicator leverages swing high/low detection to automatically plot relevant zones and uses price tap frequency as an objective strength metric.
How does it work?
Zone Identification:
The script uses the Pine Script functions ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to detect confirmed swing highs and lows on your chart. Each swing high establishes a resistance zone, and each swing low establishes a support zone.
Only confirmed pivots are used, ensuring all signals are strictly non-repainting.
Tap Counting Logic:
For every candle, the indicator checks whether price touches (comes within a small, user-set tolerance) of any currently tracked support or resistance zone. To avoid counting repeated taps in the same move, the script ensures only unique bar taps are registered.
Each time price taps a zone, a counter for that zone is incremented.
Both the tolerance for taps (percentage-based), and the depth/history of zones tracked are fully adjustable in settings.
Visual Feedback:
Zones with more taps are drawn darker (lower transparency), making it easy to spot the strongest/hardest-tested levels on the chart.
A label on each zone displays the current tap count (e.g., "3x"), giving direct feedback about which support/resistance are most significant in the current view.
Only recent zones (user-configurable) are shown to keep charts clear and useful.
How to use it:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Set the swing length and tap tolerance in settings to match your market or timeframe (short swing length for scalping, longer swings for bigger structure).
Watch for zones with high tap counts and darker lines: These zones represent areas where price has repeatedly reacted, suggesting they may be important for your trading decisions.
You can adjust the minimum number of taps needed for a zone to be highlighted and the number of zones to display for your preferred visual clarity.
Combine this tool with other analysis for confirmation—tap counts should not be seen as trading signals, but as supporting information.
Originality & Calculation Details:
This script does NOT simply merge or overlay existing indicators. The calculation method is original: it uses swing-based support/resistance and applies unique tap-count logic, designed for objective zone strength visualization.
No repainting logic is present.
All code and visualization methods are documented and transparent.

ATR Support LineOverview
ATR Support Line is a higher-timeframe-aware overlay that builds a single dynamic support line by anchoring a smoothed price baseline and offsetting it with an Average True Range (ATR) multiple. It is designed to track constructive trends while adapting to current volatility. The tool can render using higher-timeframe (HTF) data with optional closed-bar confirmation to avoid repainting, or live interpolation for more responsive visuals.
Core logic (concepts, not implementation)
• Compute an anchor from price using a selectable moving-average family (SMA / EMA / ZLEMA).
• Measure volatility using ATR and apply a configurable multiplier.
• Form the support line by offsetting the anchor downward by the ATR multiple.
• Timeframe handling: either use the chart timeframe or request an explicit HTF for calculation.
• Rendering modes:
– Closed-bar mode : interpolate inside the previous HTF bar for non-repainting behavior.
– Live mode : interpolate inside the current HTF bar for more timely responsiveness (can visually “breathe” intrabar).
Inputs
• Anchor smoothing: MA type (SMA / EMA / ZLEMA) and anchor length.
• Volatility: ATR length and multiplier.
• Timeframe: optional calculation timeframe (HTF) distinct from the chart timeframe.
• Confirmation: toggle to use closed HTF values (non-repainting) vs. live interpolation.
How to read it
• Price holding above the ATR Support Line indicates constructive conditions; orderly pullbacks toward the line can be normal trend behavior.
• Persistent closes above the line indicate strength; reactions into the line often resolve higher in constructive regimes.
• Persistent closes below the line warn of deterioration; consider reducing risk until price reclaims the level.
• On HTF rendering with closed-bar confirmation, use closes on that HTF for signal confirmation.
• In live mode, treat intrabar pierces as potential noise until confirmed by the close.
Practical use cases
• Trend context: define a trailing “line in the sand” for long-bias frameworks.
• Risk framing: size down or tighten exposure when price loses the support line.
• Confluence: combine with structure (HH/HL vs. LH/LL), volume, or market-wide risk gauges.
• Multi-TF workflow: calculate on HTF for bias, execute on lower TFs for entries/exits.
Best practices
• Align confirmations with the timeframe used for calculation (especially in closed-bar mode).
• Pair with clear invalidation rules (e.g., daily/weekly closes below the line).
• Start with conservative multipliers on noisier assets; adjust ATR length/multiplier to match instrument volatility.
Technical notes
• Non-repainting option : closed-bar HTF mode finalizes values on HTF close; lower-TF plotting uses interpolation only for continuity (no look-ahead).
• Live option : interpolates within the current HTF bar for responsiveness; expect intrabar breathing.
• Works on any time-based chart; results are most interpretable on liquid instruments.
Who it is for
• Traders who want a single, disciplined, volatility-adjusted support line with HTF awareness.
• Systematic users who prefer clear, reproducible rules for trend context and risk boundaries.
Limitations & disclosures
• Closed-source; for educational and analytical use only.
• Not financial advice. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee future results.
Release notes
• Added selectable anchor MA (SMA / EMA / ZLEMA) and explicit HTF calculation with two rendering modes (closed-bar non-repainting vs. live).
• Interpolation refined for smooth visuals while respecting HTF closes in confirmation mode.
Originality & why closed-source
This is not a reimplementation of public open-source scripts. The integration of anchor smoothing choices, volatility offset, HTF calculation, and dual rendering modes (closed-bar non-repainting vs. live interpolation) is designed to maintain trend fidelity with practical control over responsiveness. The interaction of these components is proprietary and the source is closed to protect the implementation.
Integration, not a mashup
ATR Support Line is a single, self-contained framework. It does not merely merge indicators; its components are purpose-built to produce one coherent, volatility-aware, single-line support with a clear reading protocol (hold above = constructive; loss = caution).
Indicator, not a strategy
This publication is an indicator overlay, not a trading strategy. It includes no backtests, position logic, performance claims, or risk assumptions. Use it as analytical context within your own risk management.

Compared to static moving-average baselines or classic volatility bands, ATR Support Line emphasizes (1) a single actionable support level, (2) explicit volatility adjustment via ATR, and (3) HTF-aware rendering with an optional non-repainting confirmation mode.
Axel AltsOverview
Axel Alts is a higher-timeframe-aware overlay that forms a two-line support band for altcoins using a sticky, threshold-and-step progression. It draws an Upper Support (mid) and a Lower Support (low) derived from evolving local lows, with smoothed transitions and an optional halving-cycle bear-window background.
The goal is disciplined context: identify controlled pullbacks into support in constructive regimes and avoid emotional chasing. All core settings are fixed for consistent behavior across symbols.
Core logic (concepts, not implementation)
• Two baseline levels are computed as fractional distances from the current base and then smoothed.
• A sticky mechanism advances each line toward its target only when deviation is material, and in capped steps. This reduces whipsaw and preserves structure.
• Visual easing smooths transitions so curves remain stable and readable.
• Rendering accounts for higher-timeframe structure and uses interpolation on lower timeframes for visual continuity; values do not look ahead and finalize on higher-timeframe closes.
• An optional bear-window background is derived from halving dates to flag a more cautious phase between the late part of one cycle and the run-up to the next.
Inputs
• Parameters are locked (lengths, fractions, sticky thresholds/steps, easing radii, bear-window bounds). No user-tweakable inputs—this prevents overfitting and improves repeatability.
How to read it
• The zone between Upper Support and Lower Support is the preferred “controlled pullback” area in constructive regimes.
• Persistent closes above Upper Support indicate strength; orderly reactions into the band can be constructive.
• Sustained closes below Lower Support warn of deterioration; be cautious with aggressive longs until recovery.
• The bear-window background suggests a more conservative stance on risk and size.
• Confirmations are best taken on daily/weekly closes; short-term pokes through the band are often noise.
Practical use cases
• Altcoin rotation: prioritize names holding the band; de-prioritize those persisting below it.
• Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) context: scale within the band during favorable regimes.
• Risk framing: tighten or reduce exposure on breaks below Lower Support or during the bear window.
• Confluence: combine with volume/volatility tools and market-wide risk gauges.
Best practices
• Rely on daily/weekly closes for confirmation.
• Pair with market structure (HH/HL vs. LH/LL) and higher-timeframe support/resistance.
• Consider broader cycle context (e.g., halving windows) before scaling risk.
Technical notes
• Non-repainting: values finalize on the close of the higher timeframe used by each calculation.
• Interpolation on lower timeframes is for continuity only; it is not forward-looking.
• Bear-window boundaries are fixed and derived from publicly known Bitcoin halving dates.
• The fill between lines is fixed in the current configuration.
Who it is for
• Traders who want a fixed-rules, repeatable context for alt pullbacks and trend health.
• Systematic users who prefer deterministic, non-tunable overlays for portfolio discipline.
Limitations & disclosures
• Closed-source; for educational and analytical use only.
• Not financial advice. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee future results.
Release notes
• Includes sticky progression for both support lines with eased transitions.
• Improved visual continuity on lower timeframes while respecting higher-timeframe structure.
• Added halving-based bear-window highlighting (bounds are fixed).
Originality & why closed-source
This is not a reimplementation of public open-source scripts. Axel Alts integrates (1) sticky threshold-and-step progression, (2) dual support lines built from fractional levels off evolving lows with separate smoothing, (3) visual easing for stability, and (4) a halving-based bear window. The interaction of thresholds/steps, smoothing, and the regime window is proprietary and tuned to retain structure while limiting lag. The source is closed to protect this implementation.
Integration, not a mashup
Axel Alts is a single, self-contained framework. It does not merely merge indicators; its components are designed to work together to form a unified support band with a clear reading protocol (hold within the band, caution below, close-based confirmations, optional bear-window context).
Indicator, not a strategy
This publication is an indicator overlay, not a trading strategy. It includes no backtests, position logic, performance claims, or risk assumptions. Use it as analytical context within your own risk management.
Comparison to common tools
Compared to standard moving-average channels or volatility bands, Axel Alts emphasizes (1) structure retention via sticky thresholds/steps, (2) smoother visuals through eased transitions, and (3) explicit cycle context via the halving-based bear window.
Trap LineOverview
Trap Line is a higher-timeframe trend framework designed to define market regimes using smoothed weekly (1W) and three-week (3W) baselines. Price trading above the line reflects a bullish regime; price below the line reflects a bearish one. The goal is regime discipline—stay aligned with the dominant higher-timeframe direction and avoid late, emotional entries. All parameters are fixed to ensure consistent behavior across symbols.
Core logic (concepts, not full code)
• Computes a Hull-type moving average on 1W and 3W closes (with optional linear-regression pre-filtering) and projects them onto lower timeframes via interpolation.
• Produces a smooth, lag-reduced structural baseline that tracks the weekly trend path.
• Observing price vs. the baseline highlights potential trap zones—temporary breaches that often fail without a confirmed weekly close.
• The 3-Week Trap Line adds a macro confirmation layer and is hidden by default in the Style tab to keep charts clean.
Inputs
• Parameters (length, smoothing type, regression toggle, interpolation mode) are fixed to prevent overfitting and preserve repeatability.
How to read it
• Above the line => bullish regime.
• Below the line => bearish regime.
• A confirmed weekly close through the line suggests a regime transition.
• A weekly close above the line with a green candle supports bullish continuation; a weekly close below the line with a red candle supports bearish continuation.
• Intraweek deviations near the line are often noise and may fade.
Practical use cases
• Weekly bias filter for swing/position frameworks.
• Regime confirmation across related assets or sectors.
• Portfolio overlay: favor long exposure in bullish regimes; reduce risk in bearish regimes.
• Combine with volume or ATR-based tools to assess trend quality.
Best practices
• Wait for the weekly close before declaring regime flips.
• Avoid overreacting to intraweek moves around the baseline.
• Combine with structure analysis (HH/HL vs. LH/LL) and higher-timeframe S/R.
• Use standard time-based candles; avoid interpreting signals on Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point & Figure, or Range charts.
Technical notes
• Built on locked higher-timeframe data (1W and 3W).
• Interpolation is used to render HTF structure smoothly on lower charts.
• Non-repainting : values finalize when the higher timeframe closes; lower-TF plotting is interpolated, not forward-looking.
Who it is for
• Traders who want a consistent, rules-based higher-timeframe bias filter.
• Systematic users who prefer fixed-parameter baselines for regime context.
Limitations & disclosures
• Closed-source; educational and analytical use only.
• Not financial advice. Markets involve risk; past performance does not guarantee future results.
Release notes
• Includes the 3-Week Trap Line (3W). It is hidden by default in the Style tab; enable it if you want an additional macro confirmation layer.
• Fixed-parameter design (no user-tweakable inputs) for consistent behavior across symbols.
• Non-repainting values finalize on 1W/3W candle close.
Originality & why closed-source
This is not a reimplementation of public open-source scripts. Trap Line uses a specific combination of higher-timeframe Hull smoothing, optional linear-regression pre-filtering, and lower-timeframe interpolation designed to expose trap zones (temporary regime breaches that often fail without a confirmed weekly close). The integration and thresholds are proprietary and tuned to retain weekly structure with reduced lag. The source is closed to protect this implementation.
Integration, not a mashup
Trap Line is a single, self-contained framework. It does not merely merge other indicators; its components are integrated to produce a unified higher-timeframe baseline (1W/3W) with a defined reading protocol (above/below line, weekly-close confirmation, optional candle-color confirmation).
Indicator, not a strategy
This publication provides an indicator overlay , not a trading strategy. It includes no backtests, position logic, performance claims, or risk assumptions. Use it as an analytical bias filter within your own risk management.
Comparison to common tools
Compared to standard MAs or SuperTrend-style bands, Trap Line prioritizes (1) higher-timeframe structure fidelity, (2) reduced lag via HMA-type smoothing, and (3) explicit weekly-close confirmation to avoid premature regime flips. The optional 3-Week line acts as a macro confirmation layer and is hidden by default in the Style tab.

Auto Fib Retracement-custom lines📈 Auto Fib Retracement (with Custom Line Thickness)
This indicator provides an automatic application of Fibonacci Retracement and Extension levels based on key Pivot points on the chart. It uses advanced logic to identify relevant momentum based on user-defined parameters, ensuring dynamic and accurate level drawing without the need for manual measurement.
Key Features of the Indicator ✨
Automatic Drawing: Fibonacci levels are automatically drawn based on the last significant Pivot swing detected by the indicator.
Fibonacci Retracement and Extension: Displays classic retracement levels (such as 0.382, 0.5, 0.618) and extensions (such as 1.272, 1.618, 2.618, etc.), with the option to individually toggle the visibility of each level.
Custom Line Width (New Feature): This is the key added functionality! For every Fibonacci level, an option has been included to individually adjust the line thickness (width). This allows traders to visually highlight (bold) critical support/resistance levels (like 0, 0.618, 1, etc.) to make them more noticeable on the chart.
Pivot Customization: Control the sensitivity of Pivot detection using the "Deviation" and "Depth" parameters.
Line Extension: Options to extend the Fibonacci lines to the left, right, or both sides.
Detail Display: Ability to show/hide Fibonacci values (levels) and prices on the labels.
⚙️ Input Parameters
This indicator offers complete control over how the Fibonacci levels are displayed:
Deviation: A multiplier that affects how much the price must deviate from the previous pivot for a new pivot to be formed. Increasing the value makes the indicator less sensitive; decreasing it makes it more sensitive.
Depth: The minimum number of bars considered when calculating the pivots.
Reverse: Option to reverse the drawing direction (from top to bottom or vice-versa).
Extend Left/Right: Controls the extension of the Fibonacci lines.
Level Settings (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, etc.):
Checkbox: Turn the display of each individual Fibonacci level on or off.
Value: Customize the Fibonacci value (e.g., you can change 0.618 to 0.65).
Color: Adjust the line color.
Line Width: Crucial option! Allows you to set the line thickness from 1 to 5. Use this to emphasize the most important levels.
Background Transparency: Adjust the transparency of the background fill between the Fibonacci levels.
How to Use It 💡
This tool is ideal for traders who use Fibonacci Retracement to determine potential areas of support and resistance, profit targets (extensions), and entry zones. Use the Custom Line Width option to visually set apart the key levels you believe have the most significant impact on the market (e.g., 0, 0.5, 0.618, and 1).
SMC Clean: Structure + LiquidityThis indicator provides Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tools designed to help traders analyze market structure, liquidity pools, and institutional trading zones. It combines several popular SMC methods into one powerful, customizable tool, with a clean and controlled chart display.
Features and How it Works:
Swing Highs and Lows: The indicator identifies confirmed swing highs and swing lows using a lookback period (default: 15 bars). These points form the basis for market structure analysis.
Equal Highs/Equal Lows (EQH/EQL): When price action creates repeated swing highs or lows within a defined tolerance, the tool automatically marks these areas as potential liquidity pools. These are levels where multiple stop orders may accumulate, sometimes leading to significant market moves.
Liquidity Lines & Sweeps: Liquidity lines highlight unswept highs and lows, making it easy to see where price may hunt liquidity. When price crosses a swing high/low and closes back, a sweep label is shown (optional).
BOS/CHOCH Detection:
Break of Structure (BOS): Signals a continuation of the current trend if price closes beyond the previous swing point.
Change of Character (CHOCH): Highlights when price reverses and breaks a key swing from the opposite direction, hinting at a potential trend change or shift in market regime.
Only confirmed swing points are considered to avoid repainting.
Premium & Discount Zones Explained:
After a new confirmed swing high and swing low, the area between them forms a “range.”
The premium zone is the upper half (from midpoint to swing high): this is typically considered where price is “expensive” or overvalued for the current swing, and is often watched for potential sell setups.
The discount zone is the lower half (from swing low to midpoint): this is where price is “cheap” or undervalued for the current swing, commonly monitored for potential buy setups.
Colored boxes mark these zones on your chart for instant reference.
Dashboard (Movable Position):
A visually enhanced dark-themed dashboard shows the current market structure (Bullish/Bearish), liquidity bias (Buy-Side, Sell-Side, or Balanced, based on unswept levels), and last swept side (i.e., which liquidity pool was last taken by price).
Dashboard position can be set anywhere on your chart for best visibility.
Customization Options:
Enable/disable any feature individually for a cleaner chart.
Control colors, transparency, and swing sensitivity via user settings.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust settings to fit your trading style.
Use swing lines and dashboard to determine current market structure and bias.
Watch equal highs/lows and liquidity lines for possible sweep events.
Use the premium/discount zones to locate optimal areas for trade entries—with institutional logic, buy when price reaches the discount (lower) zone, and look for sales in the premium (upper) zone.
Use BOS/CHOCH signals as objective confirmations of trend or regime changes. Always interpret signals in context of broader price action.
Important Notes:
This indicator is educational and analytical—NO signals are guaranteed.
All calculations are non-repainting and use only confirmed price data (no lookahead).
No claims of predicting future price movement or performance are made.
Disclaimer:
This tool is for technical analysis education only. It is not a financial advice nor a guaranteed trading system. Please test all signals and concepts before using in live markets.
RBD Market ProfileA Market Profile visually shows how much time (or how many bars) price spent at each price level within a session — helping identify areas of “fair value” (where price spent most time) and extremes (where price barely traded).
It divides each trading session (for example, a day, week, or month depending on input) into price segments, counts how many bars closed within each segment, and then identifies:
POC (Point of Control): price level with the highest frequency (most traded or visited).
VAH (Value Area High): upper boundary of the zone that contains 70% (or user-defined percentage) of all activity around the POC.
VAL (Value Area Low): lower boundary of that same 70% activity zone.
Finally, it plots lines for:
VAH (green line)
VAL (red line)
POC Upper & Lower (white lines)
Session Open (blue dashed line)
How to use this Market Profile:
Determine Key Areas of Support/Resistance by the VAH and VAL
VAH: Responsive Sellers and Initiative Buyers
VAL: Responsive Buyers and Initiative Sellers
POC: Can be used as Fair Value
ATR-Based Volatility SL/Target Planner (MTF Table)✅ ATR SL & Target Planner (MTF Table – Chart, 10m, 15m)
This indicator provides a clean multi-timeframe ATR table showing:
✅ ATR (Chart / 10m / 15m)
✅ Entry price (manual or auto)
✅ ATR-based Stop-Loss
✅ Target 1 & Target 2
✅ MTF level comparison
✅ High-contrast color-coded SL (Red) + Targets (Green)
✅ Selected timeframe highlighted automatically
Designed for intraday traders, positional traders, and volatility-based strategies.
✅ How to Use It
✅ 1. Choose Entry Mode
Manual Entry ON → Type your entry price
Manual Entry OFF → Last candle close is used
The script calculates ATR(14) on:
Current chart timeframe
10-minute timeframe
15-minute timeframe
Then it uses standard volatility-based formulas:
Stop-Loss = Entry ± (ATR × SL Multiplier)
Target 1 = Entry ± (ATR × T1 Multiplier)
Target 2 = Entry ± (ATR × T2 Multiplier)
Direction depends on Long/Short mode.
You can switch which ATR timeframe becomes active (affecting plotted lines + alerts).
✅ Why This Indicator Is Useful
This script solves 3 common problems:
✅ 1. “How wide should my stop-loss be?”
ATR automatically adjusts the SL to market volatility.
✅ 2. “Which timeframe ATR should I trust?”
You can compare Chart, 10m, and 15m in one panel.
✅ 3. “The table is too big in other indicators.”
This is compact, clean, color-coded, and readable.
Happy Trading :)
Quantura - Liquidity Sweep & Run LevelsIntroduction
“Quantura – Liquidity Sweep & Run Levels” is a structural price-action indicator designed to automatically detect swing-based liquidity zones and visualize potential sweep and run events. It helps traders identify areas where liquidity has likely been taken (sweep) or released (run), improving precision in market structure analysis and timing of entries or exits.
Originality & Value
This tool translates institutional liquidity concepts into an automated visual framework. Instead of simply marking highs and lows, it dynamically monitors swing points, tracks their breaches, and identifies subsequent reactions. The indicator is built to highlight the liquidity dynamics that often precede reversals or continuations.
Its originality lies in:
Automatic identification and tracking of swing highs and lows.
Real-time detection of broken levels and liquidity sweeps.
Distinction between “Run” and “Sweep” modes for different market behaviors.
Persistent historical visualization of liquidity levels using clean line structures.
Configurable signal markers for bullish and bearish sweep confirmations.
Functionality & Core Logic
Detects swing highs and lows using a user-defined Swing Length parameter.
Stores and updates all swing levels dynamically with arrays for efficient memory handling.
Draws horizontal lines from each detected swing point to visualize potential liquidity zones.
Monitors when price breaks a swing level and marks that event as “broken.”
Generates signals when the market either sweeps above/below or runs away from those levels, depending on the chosen mode.
Provides optional visual signal markers (“▲” for bullish sweeps, “▼” for bearish sweeps).
Parameters & Customization
Mode: Choose between “Sweep” (detects liquidity grabs) or “Run” (detects breakout continuations).
Swing Length: Sets the sensitivity for detecting swing highs/lows. A higher value focuses on larger structures, while smaller values detect micro liquidity points.
Bullish Color / Bearish Color: Customize color themes for sweep/run lines and signal markers.
Signals: Enables or disables visual up/down markers for confirmed events.
Visualization & Display
Horizontal lines represent potential liquidity levels (unbroken swing highs/lows).
Once broken, lines automatically stop extending, marking the moment liquidity is taken.
Depending on the selected mode:
“Sweep” mode identifies false breaks or stop-hunt behavior.
“Run” mode highlights breakouts that continue the trend.
Colored arrows indicate the direction and type of liquidity reaction.
Clean, non-intrusive visualization suitable for overlaying on price charts.
Use Cases
Detect liquidity sweeps before major reversals.
Identify breakout continuations after liquidity runs.
Combine with Supply/Demand or FVG indicators for multi-layered confirmation.
Validate liquidity bias in algorithmic or discretionary strategies.
Analyze market manipulation patterns and institutional stop-hunting behavior.
Limitations & Recommendations
This indicator identifies structural behavior but does not guarantee trade direction or profitability.
Works best on liquid markets with clear swing structures (e.g., crypto, forex, indices).
Signal interpretation should be combined with confluence tools such as volume, order flow, or structure-based filters.
Excessively small swing settings may cause over-signaling in volatile markets.
Markets & Timeframes
Optimized for all major asset classes — including crypto, Forex, indices, and equities — and for intraday to higher-timeframe structural analysis (5-minute up to daily charts).

Compliance Note
This description fully complies with TradingView’s Script Publishing Rules and House Rules . It avoids performance claims, provides transparency on methodology, and clearly describes indicator behavior and limitations.
ZynAlgo S&R ProZynAlgo S&R Pro identifies confirmed swing highs and swing lows, marks them on the chart, and draws single horizontal liquidity lines that extend from each confirmed swing until the next swing of the same type occurs. The tool can optionally recolor candles based on whether the current close is above or below the previous close. It also exposes alert conditions for new swing points and for when price reaches the most recent buy-side or sell-side liquidity line.
Important: This is a visual analysis tool. It does not open, manage, or close positions. It is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
How it works (under the hood)
Swing detection (confirmed):
The script uses ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow with symmetric left/right bars defined by Left bar & Right bar. A swing is considered only after the bar is confirmed.
Swing markers:
When enabled, confirmed swing highs/lows are marked with small circles above/below bars. The offset equals the left/right length to align with the confirmed pivot location.
Liquidity lines:
On each swing high, the script ends (anchors) the previous buy-side line at the pivot’s bar, then creates a new dotted/dashed/solid horizontal line at that swing price and extends it forward.
On each swing low, it does the same for sell-side lines.
Between swing events, the most recent buy-side and sell-side lines continue extending to the current bar.
Alerts:
Swing High / Swing Low Created — fires on confirmation of a new swing.
Buy Side Liquidity Raid — when price crosses over the most recent swing-high line.
Sell Side Liquidity Raid — when price crosses under the most recent swing-low line.
Optional candle coloring:
If enabled, candles can be recolored by comparing current close to the previous close, with independent toggles for body, borders, and wicks.

Sell Side Liquidity Raid
Triggers when price crosses below the most recent swing-low liquidity line (crossunder(low, LSL)).
Quick start (suggested workflow)
Add to chart: Apply ZynAlgo S&R Pro to your symbol and timeframe.
Choose sensitivity: Adjust Left bar & Right bar. Higher values focus on more significant swing points; lower values react faster.
Toggle visuals:
Enable Show Swing High Swing Low to see swing markers.
Enable Show Liquidity Pools to draw/extend liquidity lines. Pick the line style, width, and colors you prefer.
(Optional) Candle colors: Turn on Color bars based on previous close and choose which parts to color.
Set alerts:
Open Create Alert → Condition: ZynAlgo S&R Pro → choose Swing High, Swing Low, Buy Side Liquidity Raid, or Sell Side Liquidity Raid as needed.
Practical notes & limitations
Confirmed swings only: Pivots are plotted after confirmation (i.e., once the required left/right bars are complete). This avoids repainting the pivot location.
One active line per side: Only the most recent buy-side and sell-side liquidity lines extend to the right; prior lines are ended when a new swing of the same side appears.
Timeframes & instruments: Parameter sensitivity can vary across markets/timeframes. Consider tuning Left bar & Right bar to match volatility.
No orders are placed: This indicator does not execute trades or manage positions.
Compliance & fair-use guidance
No performance promises: This tool does not guarantee profitable results and should not be described as “signals,” “guaranteed,” “best,” or similar claims. It is an analysis aid that visualizes historical swing points, liquidity levels, and optional candle coloring.
Educational intent: Use it to support your chart review and alerting workflow; combine with your own judgment and risk controls.
Alerts are informational: Alerts reflect the conditions described above and do not constitute financial advice.
Change log (summary of core features)
Swing detection with configurable left/right bars; optional swing markers.
Auto-extending buy-side/sell-side liquidity lines with customizable style/width/colors.
Four alert conditions (new swing highs/lows and liquidity raids).
Optional candle recoloring with separate toggles for body/borders/wicks.
Dynamic Line Management
Unlike static support/resistance tools, ZynAlgo S&R Pro automatically manages the lifecycle of each liquidity line — removing outdated levels the moment new structure forms.
This ensures the chart always reflects the most relevant active zones.
Structure + Liquidity Integration
By combining price structure (swing points) with liquidity visualization, it bridges the gap between classic S&R and modern liquidity-based interpretation — a fusion rarely found in lightweight indicators.
Noise-Free Design
The script plots only the most essential elements: confirmed swings, active liquidity lines, and optional candle color context.
It avoids overlapping labels, text clutter, or unnecessary metrics — ideal for traders who prefer clarity and precision.
Non-Repainting Logic
All pivots are confirmed only after the required right-side bars are closed, ensuring all swing points and lines remain fixed once plotted.
This gives confidence in backtesting and visual analysis without misleading signals.
Lightweight & Efficient
Despite tracking multiple dynamic lines, the algorithm is optimized for performance (using arrays and efficient bar updates), making it suitable for both high- and low-timeframe analysis.
Adaptable Across Market Types
Equally applicable to forex, crypto, indices, and commodities, the algorithm’s sensitivity parameter lets users adjust to volatility differences between instruments.
Purely Analytical
The tool does not provide trade signals or predictions.
Its design supports price-action interpretation, liquidity mapping, and structure confirmation — helping traders read context rather than react to noise.

Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)

### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept

### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone

## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.

## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
### Master Controls
- Toggle each major feature on/off independently
- Combine only the features relevant to your trading style
### Display Settings
- Adjust lookback periods for each component
- Control number of historical zones displayed
- Customize colors, line styles, and transparency
- Show/hide labels and session names
- Configure text sizes for different screen setups
### Detection Sensitivity
- **Sweep Detection:** Choose between wick breaks, close breaks, or full retraces
- **ATR Buffer:** Add distance requirements to confirm sweeps (reduces false signals)
- **Equal Level Threshold:** Adjust how close levels must be to qualify as "equal"
- **Confirmation Bars:** Balance between signal speed and reliability
### Alert System
- Session open/close notifications
- Liquidity sweep alerts
- OTE zone entry alerts
- Configurable alert frequency and types
---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows
