OBV with Divergence (SMA Smoother)Title: OBV Divergence with SMA Smoothing Description: This indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify regular (reversal) and hidden (continuation) On-Balance Volume (OBV) divergences against price action. It uses a modified OBV calculation (an OBV Oscillator) and integrates pivot analysis to automatically highlight potential turning points or trend continuations directly on your chart. Key Features Advanced Divergence Detection: Automatically detects and labels four types of divergences: Regular Bullish/Bearish: Signals potential trend reversals. Regular Bullish: Price makes a Lower Low (LL) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Higher Low (HL). Regular Bearish: Price makes a Higher High (HH) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Lower High (LH). Hidden Bullish/Bearish: Signals potential trend continuations. Hidden Bullish: Price makes a Higher Low (HL) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Lower Low (LL). Hidden Bearish: Price makes a Lower High (LH) but the OBV Oscillator makes a Higher High (HH). OBV Oscillator: Instead of plotting the raw OBV, this script uses the difference between the OBV and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This technique centers the indicator around zero, making it easier to visualize volume momentum shifts and clearly identify peaks and troughs for divergence analysis. Optional SMA Smoothing Line (New Feature): An added Simple Moving Average (SMA) line can be toggled on to further smooth the OBV Oscillator. Traders can use this line for crossover signals or to confirm the underlying trend of the volume momentum, reducing whipsaws. Customizable Lookback: The indicator allows you to define the lookback periods (Pivot Lookback Left/Right) for price and oscillator pivots, giving you precise control over sensitivity. The Max/Min of Lookback Range helps filter out divergences that are too close or too far apart.

Zonar v1.5🟣 ZONAR v1.5 — Precision Market Mapping System ZONAR is a proprietary market-structure engine that fuses price-action logic, real-time trend adaptation, and algorithmic zone validation into one integrated framework. Unlike typical SMC indicators that simply draw order blocks or FVGs, Zonar reconstructs market intent by dynamically grading and updating structural zones as they evolve. 🧠 Core Logic Zonar’s engine continuously analyses three key dimensions of price movement: Hierarchical Market Structure Recognition — Detects higher-timeframe swing ranges, recalibrates the active trend, and synchronizes lower-timeframe structure shifts. Adaptive Zone Generation — Builds order-block, mitigation-block, and imbalance zones only when algorithmic displacement and retracement criteria are met — filtering out noise and redundant zones. Zone Integrity Tracking — Every plotted zone is validated, aged, and visually deactivated once mitigated or invalidated, giving traders a clean, self-updating chart environment. ⚙️ What Makes ZONAR Unique Proprietary Zone Logic: Combines displacement candles, body/-wick validation, and retracement confirmation to mark institutional footprints with higher precision. Dynamic Higher-Timeframe Context: Each zone aligns automatically with higher-timeframe BOS/CHOCH logic, updating the premium/discount bias in real time. OTE Mapping Engine: Integrates a built-in Optimized Trade Entry (61.8–79%) range, synchronized with structural swing highs/lows for accurate retracement targeting. Zone Lifecycle Visualization: Active zones transition through stages — valid → retraced → mitigated — visually represented with color fading and label updates. Smart Signal Output: Generates live entry, stop-loss, and multi-target projections (TP1–TP3) derived from each zone’s structure and directional bias. 🎯 How It Helps Zonar filters the chaos of price action into a clean, interpretable map — identifying where liquidity is engineered and where true institutional interest resides. It helps traders anticipate rather than react, focusing only on areas where probability, structure, and precision converge.

TheStrat: Failed 2 + 2 ConfirmationTheStrat: Failed-2 + 2 Confirmation (2-2 option) This indicator spots a classic Strat “failed 2 → 2” sequence on consecutive bars, and fires alerts only when both conditions are met: Failed-2 bar on the prior candle Failed 2-Down (F2D): Took the prior low but closed green Failed 2-Up (F2U): Took the prior high but closed red By default this is strict (excludes outside bars/3’s). You can toggle to allow 3’s if you prefer a looser definition. Current bar is a clean “2” 2U = broke prior high only; 2D = broke prior low only (excludes 3’s). Optional: Require flip so the second bar must reverse direction (F2D→2U for longs, F2U→2D for shorts). Turn this off if you want any 2 after a Failed-2. What gets plotted Tiny markers on each Failed-2 as they occur (F2U/F2D). A label when the combo confirms on the next bar: Bullish: F2D→2U (or F2D→2 if flip is off) below the bar Bearish: F2U→2D (or F2U→2) above the bar Alerts (set from the “Add Alert” dialog) Failed2 + 2 (Bull): Prior bar was F2D; current bar is a 2 (flip optional). Failed2 + 2 (Bear): Prior bar was F2U; current bar is a 2 (flip optional). Inputs Colors for Failed-2 markers and combo labels Require flip (on by default) → focuses on true 2-2 reversals Count outside bars (3) as Failed-2? (off by default) → stricter = fewer, cleaner signals How to trade it (typical Strat style) Bullish combo (F2D→2U): Entry on break of the combo bar’s high; risk under its low (or under the prior bar). Bearish combo (F2U→2D): Entry on break of the combo bar’s low; risk above its high. First target = prior pivot (“magnitude”), then nearby pivots/BF levels. Improve odds by aligning with time-frame continuity (e.g., day/week in your direction). Notes / Best practices Uses barstate.isconfirmed → signals/labels are based on closed bars to avoid repaint. If you see too many Failed-2 tags, keep outside-bar counting OFF (strict mode).

Auto HTF Candles [@gaucho_trader][Auto HTF Candles (Title) Tired of constantly switching between timeframes? 🔄 This indicator solves that problem by bringing Higher Timeframe (HTF) context directly onto your current chart. Auto HTF Candles plots up to three different sets of HTF candles in a clean, non-intrusive panel on the right side of your screen. Now you can watch a 4H candle develop while analyzing price action on a 5-minute chart, all in one view. Core Concept 🎯 The principle is simple: your lower timeframe (LTF) trading decisions become significantly more powerful when aligned with the HTF trend and structure. By displaying the live HTF candles, you can instantly see if the current LTF move is a weak pullback against a strong HTF candle or a powerful breakout from an HTF consolidation. This indicator provides that essential macro context without ever leaving your main chart. Key Features 📊 📈 Display Multiple Timeframes: Plot up to three fully independent higher timeframes simultaneously (e.g., 15m, 1H, and 4H). 🤖 Automatic HTF Selection: Enable the "Auto-Adjust HTF 1" feature, and the script will intelligently select a logical higher timeframe for you based on your current chart. ⏳ Real-Time Countdown Timer: Each timeframe displayed includes a timer showing the exact time remaining until the current HTF candle closes. This is crucial for anticipating end-of-candle volatility. 🎨 Fully Customizable Appearance: You have complete control over the visual style. Adjust colors, candle width, spacing, and the padding from the live price. ✨ Clean & Organized Layout: The candles are neatly arranged to the right of the current price, ensuring your main chart remains clear and unobstructed. How to Use It 💡 Context is King: Use the HTF candles to define your bias. If the 4H candle is strongly bullish, you can look for more confident long entries on your 5m chart. Identify Key Levels in Real-Time: Watch the highs and lows of the HTF candles as they form. These levels often act as powerful intraday support and resistance. Anticipate Reversals: Is the 1H candle approaching its close and printing a long upper wick? This could signal a potential reversal, giving you a heads-up before the pattern is obvious on the LTF. Streamline Your Workflow: Use the "Auto-Adjust" feature for a dynamic analysis setup. As you switch between different charts, your most relevant HTF context will follow you automatically. Main Settings ⚙️ HTF 1, 2, 3: Enable and select up to three custom timeframes and set how many recent candles you want to display for each. Auto-Adjust HTF 1: The star of the show. Toggle this on to let the script automatically select the first HTF based on your chart's period. Styling: A comprehensive section to modify all colors, candle width, and the spacing between candles and timeframes. Label Settings: Independently control the visibility, color, and size of the HTF name labels and the countdown timers. ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator is a tool for market analysis and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Always perform your own due diligence before making any trading decisions.

Ultra-Fast Scalp Predictor 2This is a Pine Script (version 5) indicator engineered for ultra-low latency scalping, optimized specifically for very short timeframes (1-second to 1-minute charts) to predict price direction over the next 30-60 seconds. It operates as a single, composite directional score by combining six highly sensitive, fast-moving analytical components. Core Prediction Methodology: The indicator calculates a single predictionScore which is a sum of six weighted factors, designed to capture immediate changes in market momentum, volatility, and order flow pressure. The Prediction Score determines the signal: predictUp: predictionScore is greater than the Bull Threshold ($\text{Sensitivity} \times 10$). predictDown: predictionScore is less than the Bear Threshold ($\text{Sensitivity} \times -10$). confidence: Calculated as the normalized absolute magnitude of the predictionScore relative to a theoretical maximum (math.abs(predictionScore) / 50 \times 100).

Scalp ThisKey Features and Components: The indicator is built around a multi-layered approach, drawing on diverse aspects of price action and volume analysis: Core Inputs & Goal: Goal: Predict short-term (1-10 second) price direction. This means it must be run on the lowest available timeframe (e.g., 1-second or 1-minute chart, as it analyzes minute-to-minute changes). lookback (Default 8): The period used for various moving averages and extreme detection (micro highs/lows). sensitivity (Default 1.0): Controls the threshold for generating a signal. A lower value requires the predictionScore to be less extreme to trigger an 'Up' or 'Down' signal. Advanced Features: It includes toggles for specialized components like ML Pattern Recognition, Tick Flow Analysis, and Liquidity Zone Detection, even though the "ML" part is purely algorithmic and not actual machine learning (Pine Script doesn't support true ML).

[Yorsh] BJN HTF Delivery v1.01. Executive Summary The BJN HTF Delivery v1.0 is a precision-engineered utility for TradingView designed to solve one of the biggest challenges for low-timeframe (LTF) traders: understanding and tracking the real-time interaction of price with Higher Timeframe (HTF) imbalances. Unlike typical MTF indicators that plot static, clunky boxes, this tool features a dynamic, real-time mitigation engine. It visually represents how HTF Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are being "delivered" and consumed by LTF price action. Its primary competitive advantage is its ability to provide this crucial context through lightweight, intelligent markers instead of persistent boxes, resulting in an exceptionally clean and responsive chart, optimized for scalpers and day traders. 2. Core Features Overview This indicator is built around a sophisticated engine that tracks the lifecycle of a single, user-defined HTF FVG from its creation to its final invalidation. A. Focused Higher Timeframe (HTF) FVG Projection Singular Timeframe Analysis: The indicator focuses on plotting FVGs from one critical higher timeframe of your choice (e.g., 15-minute FVGs on a 1-minute chart). This provides clear, unambiguous context without the clutter of multiple MTF levels. Initial State: A newly formed, untouched HTF FVG is drawn as a complete, semi-transparent box, representing a "full" zone of imbalance. B. The Real-Time Mitigation & Resizing Engine This is the indicator's core innovation. As price on your LTF chart interacts with the projected HTF FVG, the indicator provides instant feedback: Dynamic Resizing: When price wicks into the FVG, the indicator doesn't just sit there. It instantly resizes the FVG box in real-time, shrinking it to show only the remaining, unmitigated portion. This gives you a precise, constantly updated view of how much of the imbalance is left. Intelligent Mitigation Markers: As the box is resized, the indicator places a small, clean arrow marker (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) at the point of the wick. This provides a crystal-clear historical footprint showing exactly where price mitigated the zone. This marker remains even after the box is fully consumed, serving as a permanent reference point without cluttering the chart. C. Advanced Invalidation Logic for a Clean Chart The indicator's most powerful feature is how it handles the potential invalidation of an FVG, keeping your chart exceptionally clean. Box Deletion on Full Wick-Through: The moment price wicks entirely through an HTF FVG, the large, colored box is immediately deleted. This is the primary mechanism for noise reduction. Instead of leaving a useless box on the screen, the indicator removes it. "Pending Invalidation" Markers: Upon deleting the box, the indicator places a special, subtle marker (e.g., 'X', diamond) at the tip of the invalidating wick. This signifies that the FVG is "on life support"—it has been violated on the LTF but is awaiting a candle close on the HTF for official confirmation of its death. Trailing Marker Logic: This "pending" marker isn't static. If subsequent LTF candles continue to push past the FVG, the marker will trail the extreme wick, providing a dynamic visual of the ongoing price struggle. True Invalidation & Cleanup: The pending marker is only removed once the FVG is truly invalidated, either by a confirmed HTF candle close beyond it or by price wicking its protective structural point. This completes the FVG's lifecycle, leaving behind only the essential, lightweight mitigation markers. 3. The Performance & Cleanliness Advantage This indicator is built for traders who demand a pristine and responsive trading environment. It achieves this through a philosophy of "information, not clutter." Replacing Boxes with Markers: The fundamental advantage is the script's logic of replacing large, screen-hogging boxes with small, precise markers at the earliest opportunity. The box only exists while the FVG is untouched. The moment it's mitigated, the focus shifts to a lightweight marker, preserving chart visibility. Optimized HTF Data Calls: The script is engineered for peak efficiency. It fetches all the necessary HTF data—FVG conditions, structural points, and the critical HTF close price—in a single, consolidated data request. This drastically reduces server load and ensures the indicator has no discernible impact on platform performance. Strict History Limit: By processing only a recent number of days (e.g., 7 days by default), the indicator avoids the performance trap of analyzing and drawing thousands of irrelevant historical objects, ensuring a fast and smooth experience. The result is a tool that delivers more actionable, real-time information than its competitors while simultaneously creating a cleaner, more readable chart. 4. Ideal User Profile This indicator is a mission-critical tool for: Low-Timeframe Scalpers and Day Traders: Who execute on charts like the 1-minute or 15-second and need instant feedback on how their price action is interacting with dominant HTF levels. SMC / ICT Traders: Who deeply understand the concepts of liquidity delivery, mitigation, and FVG invalidation. This tool automates the visual tracking of these precise concepts. Minimalist Traders: Anyone who values a clean workspace and believes that an indicator should add clarity, not visual noise. 5. Conclusion The BJN HTF Delivery v1.0 is not just another FVG plotter; it is a sophisticated delivery analysis tool. It brilliantly visualizes the dynamic relationship between different timeframes, showing how HTF zones of imbalance are consumed in real-time. By prioritizing a "marker-first" philosophy and intelligent object management, it offers a uniquely clean, fast, and powerful way to keep HTF context at the forefront of your LTF trading without ever sacrificing chart clarity or performance.

[Yorsh] BJN MTF FVG/iFVG v1.01. Executive Summary The BJN MTF FVG/iFVG v1.0 is a highly specialized and performance-optimized tool for TradingView that provides a multi-layered view of market imbalances. Built on the modern PineScript v6, its sole purpose is to detect and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from up to five user-defined higher timeframes directly onto a single chart. In a market saturated with "all-in-one" tools that slow down trading platforms, this indicator's primary competitive advantage is its unrelenting focus on speed and clarity. It is engineered from the ground up to be a lightweight, efficient, and "noise-reducing" utility. It provides traders with essential higher-timeframe context without the lag, clutter, or performance degradation typical of other multi-timeframe (MTF) indicators. 2. Core Features Overview The indicator is designed with a "do one thing well" philosophy, concentrating on the accurate and efficient plotting of multi-timeframe FVGs. A. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) FVG Plotting Up to Five Custom Timeframes: You can monitor FVGs from any five timeframes of your choice (e.g., 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1H) simultaneously, all from your main trading chart. This eliminates the need to constantly switch between charts to understand the broader market structure. Clear Labeling: Each FVG box is cleanly labeled with its corresponding timeframe (e.g., "5 ✔"), so you can instantly identify its origin and significance. B. Intelligent FVG Validation & Sizing Dynamic Sizing Rules: The indicator intelligently validates FVGs based on their size in points. It automatically applies a larger minimum size requirement during the volatile NY session and a smaller requirement for non-NY hours, effectively filtering out minor, insignificant gaps and focusing only on meaningful imbalances. Validity Markers: FVGs that meet the minimum size criteria are marked with a checkmark ("✔") and extended slightly into the future, signifying them as potent support/resistance zones. Undersized FVGs are marked with an "✖" and treated as potential areas of weakness. C. Unique "iFVG" Noise Reduction This is a key feature for maintaining a clean chart. The indicator tracks undersized, "invalid" FVGs and waits to see how the market reacts to them. Automatic Deletion or Recolor: When the price closes through an invalid FVG (creating an "iFVG" or inverted FVG), the user has two choices: Delete Box (Default): The box is automatically removed from the chart. This is the "Noise Reduction" mode, designed to keep the workspace free of irrelevant, broken levels. Recolor Box: The box is recolored to a faded gray. This option is ideal for traders who want to backtest and study how these broken, minor FVGs behave as future support or resistance. D. Smart Visibility Options Prevents Duplication: The indicator includes an intelligent option to automatically hide an MTF box if its timeframe matches your current chart's timeframe. This is designed to work seamlessly with a Current Timeframe (CTF) FVG indicator, preventing redundant, overlapping boxes. 3. The Performance Advantage: A Lag-Free MTF Experience Multi-timeframe indicators are notoriously resource-intensive and are the primary cause of chart lag on TradingView. The BJN MTF FVG indicator was specifically engineered to solve this problem, making it far superior to its competitors. Optimized timeframe.change() Trigger: Instead of recalculating its logic on every single price tick, the script only runs its intensive request.security calls when a candle closes on the specified higher timeframe. This reduces the number of calculations by over 99% compared to poorly coded MTF indicators, resulting in a dramatic performance increase. Strict Historical Limits: The user can define a maximum history lookback (in hours or minutes) for each timeframe. For example, the 1-minute chart might only process the last 4 hours of data. This prevents the indicator from drawing thousands of historical boxes that are no longer relevant, which is the main cause of platform freezing and slow loading times. Lightweight State Management: The script maintains a very small, active list of only the invalid FVGs it needs to monitor for inversion. Valid FVGs are simply "fire-and-forget" drawings, meaning they don't consume ongoing memory or processing power. In short, this indicator delivers the critical higher-timeframe context traders need without ever compromising the speed and responsiveness of your trading platform. 4. Ideal User Profile This indicator is the perfect tool for: Day Traders and Scalpers: Who need to be aware of higher-timeframe support and resistance levels without leaving their execution chart. SMC / ICT Traders: Who use multi-timeframe FVG confluence as a core part of their trading strategy. Performance-Focused Traders: Anyone who has experienced chart lag from other indicators and desires a clean, fast, and reliable toolkit. Traders Seeking Clarity: Individuals who prefer a decluttered workspace and want an indicator that intelligently removes irrelevant information. 5. Conclusion The BJN MTF FVG/iFVG v1.0 excels through its simplicity, intelligence, and exceptional performance. It rejects the "kitchen-sink" approach of other tools and instead provides a refined, highly optimized solution to one of the most important tasks in modern trading: analyzing multi-timeframe market structure. It is a faster, cleaner, and more intelligent way to map higher-timeframe liquidity.

[Yorsh] BJN CTF FVG & Trade Helper v1.01. Executive Summary The BJN CTF FVG & Trade Helper v1.0 is an advanced, systematic trading tool designed for precision and objectivity in the futures market. Built on the high-speed PineScript v6, this indicator moves beyond simple FVG plotting by integrating a complete, rules-based trade execution model known as the "iFVG" (inverted Fair Value Gap) setup. Its core purpose is to identify specific, high-probability trade scenarios, validate their structural integrity, and provide an automated position sizing and risk management visual directly on the chart. The indicator's primary competitive advantage lies in its strict, logical trade validation engine and its unwavering focus on performance, ensuring it can analyze complex market structures in real-time without causing chart lag. It is a complete "trade helper" designed to enforce discipline and automate complex analysis. 2. Core Features Overview This indicator is built around a proprietary trade logic engine that automates a sophisticated trading model from start to finish (www.bjnfx.com). A. Intelligent Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection Dynamic Sizing Rules: The indicator doesn't just find FVGs; it qualifies them. It automatically applies different minimum size requirements (in points) for the volatile NY session versus quieter, non-NY hours, filtering out insignificant noise. Composite FVG Merging: In a unique and advanced feature, the script can identify two small, back-to-back, invalid FVGs and merge them into a single, valid composite FVG. This allows it to find powerful trade setups that other FVG indicators would miss entirely. Live FVG Hints: An optional feature shows potential FVGs forming on the live, developing candle, giving you a valuable edge in anticipating the next setup. B. The "iFVG" Trade Logic Engine This is the heart of the indicator. It's a complete, long/short trading model that operates in distinct states: Detection: Identifies a valid FVG. Inversion: Waits for price to decisively close through the FVG, turning it from a potential continuation area into an "inversion" point (iFVG). Structural Validation: This is the critical step. Before confirming a trade, the engine performs a rigorous, automated scan of the entire price leg to ensure: The Invalidation Point (IP)—the last protective swing high/low—has not been contaminated. No opposing "Hazard" FVGs have been touched, which would compromise the setup. Confirmation: If the structure is clean, the indicator signals a confirmed trade setup with a marker ('L' for Long, 'S' for Short) and highlights the trigger candle. C. Automated Position Sizing & Risk Management Upon a confirmed trade signal, the "Trade Helper" instantly activates: Dynamic Stop Loss Calculation: The SL is not placed arbitrarily. It is intelligently calculated based on the most logical structural point within the trading leg, using other nearby FVGs as potential support/resistance. Bracketed Sizing: Based on the calculated SL in points, the indicator references a built-in risk matrix to determine the appropriate number of contracts to trade (e.g., a 5-point SL might suggest 10 contracts, while a 10-point SL suggests 5). This enforces consistent risk. Full Visual Overlay: It draws a clear, color-coded box on your chart showing the precise Entry, Stop Loss (SL), Hard Stop (2x SL), and Take Profit (TP) levels, along with the calculated contract size. D. Informative Status Panel A clean, non-intrusive panel at the bottom of the screen keeps you constantly aware of the trade engine's status. It clearly displays whether the Bullish and Bearish engines are "Idle," "Armed" (a setup is developing), "Triggered," or "Invalidated," so you always know what the script is monitoring. 3. The Performance Advantage: Built for Speed and Scalpers High-frequency logic can cripple a trading platform. This indicator was built from the ground up to prevent that, making it superior for traders who value a responsive, lag-free experience. Strict Bar Lookback (maxLookbackBars): This is the key performance feature. The user defines a maximum number of historical bars (e.g., 200) for the script to analyze. Any FVG or price structure older than this limit is completely ignored and removed from memory. This prevents the script from bogging down your chart with thousands of irrelevant historical objects. Timeframe-Specific History Limits: The script automatically applies even stricter history limits on lower timeframes (e.g., 15-second charts only process the last 15 minutes of data), ensuring it remains exceptionally fast for scalping. Surgical Array Pruning: On every bar, the indicator actively scans its memory for "stale" FVG objects that have fallen outside the lookback window. It then deletes their drawings and removes them from the active array, ensuring the logic engine is only ever processing a small, relevant, and recent dataset. Efficient State Management: The logic is contained within a highly structured "engine." This prevents redundant calculations and ensures complex structural scans are only performed when a potential trade is actively developing, not on every single price tick. The result is an institutional-grade algorithmic tool that runs with the speed and lightness of a simple moving average, giving you a decisive edge in execution. 4. Ideal User Profile This indicator is purpose-built for: Systematic & Rules-Based Traders: Individuals who want to remove emotion and subjectivity and trade a precise, repeatable model. Scalpers & Intraday Futures Traders: Particularly those on NQ/MNQ, who require a high-performance tool that can keep up with fast-moving markets. ICT iFVG Traders: Traders familiar with FVGs/iFVGs, invalidation points, and structural validation will find this tool automates the most tedious and error-prone parts of their analysis. 5. Conclusion The BJN CTF FVG & Trade Helper v1.0 is more than just an indicator; it is a semi-automated trading assistant. It provides a clear, objective, and highly-validated trade model designed to enforce discipline. Its defining characteristic is its sophisticated logic engine, combined with a performance-first architecture that sets a new standard for what traders should expect from their analytical tools. For the systematic trader, it offers an unparalleled blend of precision, automation, and speed.

[Yorsh] BJN Liquidity Matrix v1.0Indicator Analysis & Performance Report: BJN Liquidity Matrix v1.0 1. Executive Summary The BJN Liquidity Matrix v1.0 is a sophisticated, professional-grade trading indicator for TradingView, built on the modern PineScript v6. It is designed to provide traders with a comprehensive and highly customizable view of market liquidity, time-based events, and price structure. Its primary differentiator in a crowded market is its performance-first architecture. While most multi-feature indicators cause significant chart lag and slow performance, this tool is meticulously engineered to be lightweight, fast, and reliable, ensuring that your trading analysis is never compromised by technical bottlenecks. It delivers a full suite of institutional trading concepts without sacrificing speed. 2. Core Features Overview The indicator seamlessly integrates several key analytical concepts into a single, cohesive toolkit. A. Advanced Time Analysis Customizable Killzone Boxes: Automatically draws key trading sessions (Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, NY PM) on the chart. This helps visualize the high and low of each session, which often act as critical support and resistance levels. Session High/Low Lines: Extends horizontal lines from the identified highs and lows of each Killzone, allowing you to track these liquidity points throughout the trading day. Macro Time Highlighting: Visually alerts you when the market enters specific "macro" time windows, which are often periods of increased volatility and algorithmic activity. B. Multi-Layered Liquidity & Price Structure Current Timeframe (CTF) Swings: Automatically identifies and plots short-term swing highs and lows on your active chart, providing a clear map of immediate liquidity pools. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Liquidity: Plots key fractals from the 1-hour timeframe directly onto your chart, tagged as "1H ". This saves you from constantly switching timeframes to find significant swing points. Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL): Clearly marks the previous day's high and low with clean, auto-adjusting labels. These are fundamental levels watched by all market participants. C. Integrated Market Bias Tools Daily BIAS: Draws a dynamic equilibrium price (50% level) based on the current day's developing range. This acts as a simple but powerful bias filter: favoring longs below it and shorts above it. Probabilistic Hourly Bias: A unique feature that analyzes the closing price of the previous hourly candle to provide a statistical probability of the market taking out the previous hour's high or low. D. The "Smart Status" Information Hub This is the indicator's central dashboard. Instead of cluttering your chart with dozens of lines, this dynamic table intelligently sorts and displays the most relevant, un-taken liquidity levels above and below the current price. It automatically updates as levels are breached, providing a clean, at-a-glance view of: Nearest Buy-Side & Sell-Side Liquidity Untouched Session Highs/Lows Active PDH/PDL levels The Hourly Bias probability (when active and not taken) 3. The Performance Advantage: A Smoother Trading Experience This indicator was engineered to outperform its competitors by focusing on computational efficiency. This is not just a feature; it is the core design philosophy. Efficient Drawing Management: Most indicators slow down charts by continuously drawing thousands of objects over historical data. The BJN Liquidity Matrix uses an advanced system to only draw what is necessary. It intelligently limits drawings to a recent, user-defined period (e.g., the last 2 days), preventing historical clutter that cripples browser performance. Smart De-Cluttering: Broken liquidity levels are not left on the chart indefinitely. The script will automatically hide old, irrelevant lines after a set number of hours, keeping your workspace clean and focused on current market structure. Minimal Data Requests: The script uses internal caching for data like in example the Previous Day Highs/Lows. This means it fetches the data once and reuses it, drastically reducing requests to TradingView's servers and resulting in faster script loading times and reloads. On-Demand Table Refresh: The comprehensive "Smart Status" table—a feature that would typically cause constant lag—is programmed to only perform its heavy recalculations on the very last bar. This means it doesn't slow down historical data or cause screen-tearing while the market is active. In summary, you get all the analytical power without the lag, freezing, or slow loading times that plague other "all-in-one" liquidity indicators. 4.
