Celestial StateCelestial State (C1) – Market Bias & Candle Intent Celestial State (C1) is a price-action indicator designed to clarify market bias, momentum, and risk conditions using nothing but candle structure. No indicators. No lag. Just clean candle logic. The tool separates state (what the market is) from intent (what the market is doing right now). 🔹 Core Concept The indicator works on the chart timeframe and uses closed candles only to define market state. It then monitors the current candle to identify: momentum confirmation early warnings potential trap / reversal behaviour 🔹 Market State (Based on C1 – last closed candle) State is derived from the relationship between the last two closed candles: Bull Trend Start Bearish candle → Bullish candle Bull Continuation Bullish candle → Bullish candle Bear Trend Start Bullish candle → Bearish candle Bear Continuation Bearish candle → Bearish candle This defines the directional environment before any decision is made. 🔹 Bias & Momentum (Live Candle) Once state is defined, the current candle is monitored relative to the previous candle’s high and low. Strong Buy Bullish state Previous candle bullish Current candle breaks previous high Strong Sell Bearish state Previous candle bearish Current candle breaks previous low These represent momentum continuation with confirmation. Buy / Sell (Normal Bias) Price is in a bullish or bearish state No momentum break yet This is directional bias without confirmation. Changing Bias Bullish state + previous low broken Bearish state + previous high broken This warns that control is being challenged and conditions may be shifting. 🔹 Flip (Strict Order) A Flip is a high-risk condition where expansion fails: Bull Flip Current candle breaks previous high first, then breaks previous low Bear Flip Current candle breaks previous low first, then breaks previous high This often signals: failed breakouts stop hunts transition zones 🔹 Visual Output Top-right panel shows: Current Celestial State (C1) Current Bias (Strong Buy / Sell / Changing Bias) Short explanation (e.g. High broken, Low broken) On-chart markers are intentionally minimal and offset away from price to reduce clutter. 🔹 Who This Is For This indicator is built for traders who: trade price action want context before execution prefer clarity over complexity understand that bias ≠ entry ⚠️ Disclaimer This tool does not provide entries, exits, or risk management. It is a context and intent framework, not a signal system. Use it as a decision-support layer alongside your own execution rules.

Tom Hougaards Overnight Range by exp3rtsThis indicator visualizes the School Run concept popularized by Tom Hougaard. It draws a session range box that continuously expands to include the highest high and lowest low formed during a user-defined time window. The box starts exactly at the session open and dynamically updates as new candles print, capturing the full pre-move accumulation range. Once the session ends, the box remains fixed, providing a clear reference for liquidity runs, stop hunts, and directional expansion. Key features: Session-based logic using TradingView’s native session handling (works correctly across midnight) Dynamic high/low tracking throughout the session Clean, minimal visual representation of the accumulation range Ideal for identifying School Runs, liquidity sweeps, and bias formation How to use it: If the price goes above the range (on the second 15min candle) after RTH opening, chances are high that price will continue going higher. If the price goes below the range (on the second 15min candle) after RTH opening, chances are high that the price will continue going lower. Best for Indices.

[yorsh.trades] CCT ICC [FOREX] v1.1Title: CCT ICC - Dual-Mode Trap & Trend Engine Description: The CCT ICC (Candle Continuation Theory) is not just a signal indicator; it is a comprehensive trading workspace designed for the serious Forex trader. Built on Pine Script v6, this tool bridges the gap between discretionary analysis and mechanical system verification. Whether you are looking for real-time trade alerts or a rigorous environment to backtest and validate a strategy, the CCT ICC provides the infrastructure to trade with algorithmic precision. ☯️ The Duality: Two Modes, One Engine This script operates in two distinct modes, selectable via the settings. This duality is the core strength of the tool, allowing you to move from hypothesis to execution seamlessly. 1. Simulator Mode (Backtest & Model Building) Purpose: This mode is designed for the rigorous strategist. It transforms your chart into a mechanical testing engine. How it works: It executes one trade at a time based on strict rules (Daily Risk Limits, Max Wins/Losses per day). It tracks real-time PnL and generates a detailed Historical Performance Table directly on your chart. Why use it: We encourage users to start here. Use this mode to validate the "Trap Model" expectancy. Does the strategy hold up over the last 100 trades? What is the Drawdown? The Simulator provides the raw data you need to build confidence in your model before risking real capital. It enforces mechanical exits (e.g., Force Exit at 5 PM NY or on Trend Flips) to remove emotional bias from the test. 2. Signal Generator (Live Trading) Purpose: Once you have validated the model, switch to this mode for live market scanning. How it works: It acts as a discretionary scanner. It ignores the strict "one trade at a time" rule and daily risk limits, instead alerting you to every valid setup as it happens. Visuals: It draws static Entry/SL/TP boxes for visual reference, allowing you to pick and choose trades based on your own confluence factors. ⚙️ The Technology: Multi-Timeframe Engines The script utilizes a dual-engine logic to filter noise and identify high-probability structure: Engine 1 (Execution): Analyzes the immediate structure on your trading timeframe (e.g., 1H) to find entries. Engine 2 (Informational/Filter): Monitors the Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H or Daily) to determine the dominant trend. Auto-Sync: The script automatically selects the correct institutional timeframes based on your chart (e.g., if you trade M15, it aligns with D1 structure automatically). ⚡ The Strategy: Trap & Structure The CCT ICC identifies liquidity points where price is likely to continue the trend: Main Traps: Identifies "Trap Candles" that are breached and then reclaimed, signaling a false reversal (we trade WITH the trend). Virgin Wicks (VW): Highlights unmitigated wicks that act as POIs for price. Turtle Soups (TS): specific liquidity sweeps at range edges following the Main trend only. Range Theory: Dynamically plots Range Highs and Lows to define your Draw on Liquidity (DOL). 🛡️ Risk Management & Position Sizing Stop guessing your lot size. The script includes a built-in Position Sizer: Auto-Calculation: Based on your defining risk (e.g., $100 per trade), it calculates the exact lot size required based on the Stop Loss distance. Auto-FX Detection: Automatically adjusts for Standard Lots (100k) or JPY pairs. Visual Boxes: Displays the exact Risk:Reward ratio and Quantity directly on the chart. Note : the position sizer has been tested only on CFD/FOREX ⚠️Methodology & Educational Disclaimer This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. The logic, models, and visualizations implemented in this script are based on the author’s own understanding, interpretation, and implementation of trading concepts commonly referred to as CCT / ICC market structure theory. These concepts are widely available to the public for free across various educational platforms and sources.

[yorsh.trade] BJN iFVG Model v1.1Description: The BJN iFVG Model is not just an indicator; it is a complete algorithmic trading framework designed to identify, qualify, and rank Inversion Fair Value Gap (iFVG) setups using PROPIETARY RULES developed by the author. Unlike standard FVG indicators that simply highlight gaps on a chart, this script employs a complex Ranking Engine that scores every potential setup from C to A++. It automates the "mental checklist" professional traders use—analyzing Time (Macros), Market Structure (Sweeps), Correlation (SMT), and Higher Timeframe Delivery—to determine the probability of a trade setup. 🚀 Why This Indicator is Different This script adds value by focusing on context and validity rather than just detection. Algorithmic Ranking System: It doesn't just show you an entry; it grades it. A setup is awarded an "A+" or "A++" only if specific confluences align (e.g., HTF Delivery + Liquidity Sweep + SMT Divergence). Structural Validation: It utilizes a proprietary logic involving "Invalidation Points" (IP) and "Floor/Ceiling" detection. An iFVG is only considered valid if the price structure supporting it remains intact. Cross-Ticker SMT Engine: The script includes a built-in module to compare price action against a correlated asset (e.g., NQ vs. ES) to detect SMT Divergences at the exact moment of trade formation. Integrated Position Sizer: It automatically calculates the invalidation level based on market structure (mitigation blocks) and projects the optimal Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels, including contract sizing based on your risk parameters. 🛠 Key Features & Modules 1. The Execution Engine (iFVG Logic) The core of the strategy looks for Inversion FVGs (failed FVGs that price punches through). Ghost Mode: The script monitors live candles. If price penetrates a specific % into an opposing FVG, it triggers a "Preview" state, allowing you to prepare before the candle closes. Hazards & Mitigations: It scans the chart for "Hazard" FVGs (opposing arrays that might stop price) and "Mitigation" arrays (supporting structure) to determine a safe Stop Loss placement. 2. The Ranking System (Confluences) Every setup produces a "Rank Tag" (e.g., A+ (del, sweep, smt)). The components are: Delivery (D): Checks if the setup is reacting off a Higher Timeframe (HTF) PD Array (from the MTF Matrix). Sweep (S): Checks if the leg creating the setup swept liquidity (Fractals or Session Highs/Lows). SMT: Checks for divergence between the current asset and a comparison ticker (Default: ES/NQ pairing). Macro: Checks if the setup is occurring within specific time-based Algo Macros. 3. Contextual Matrix (Dashboard) A "Smart Table" is displayed on the chart, providing a real-time summary of: Liquidity Pools: Nearest Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity based on 1H fractals and Daily Highs/Lows. Active Status: Shows the current state of the market (Idle, Armed, Triggered, or Confirmed). Macro Status: Highlights when a Macro time window is active. 4. MTF Delivery Engine The script runs background simulations on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H) to find unmitigated FVGs. These are projected onto your lower timeframe chart to serve as "Delivery" targets or support. ⚙️ Usage Guide Bias & Setup: The script automatically detects Long and Short scenarios. The Trigger: When a candle closes, validating an iFVG, a setup box appears. Green/Red Badge: Shows the Rank (e.g., A+). Sizer Box: Shows the visual Stop Loss (Red), Entry (Edge), and Take Profit (Teal). Info Label: Displays the risk in points and the calculated contract size. Invalidation: If price hits the "IP" (Invalidation Point) or the "Floor/Ceiling" before the target, the setup is marked as INVALIDATED and removed to keep the chart clean. 🎨 Visuals & Customization Alerts: Fully configurable alerts for "Triggered" (Live) and "Confirmed" (Close) states, filterable by Minimum Rank (e.g., only alert on 'A' setups or better). Styling: Toggle individual modules (Killzones, SMT lines, MTF Plotter) on/off to suit your visual preference. Sessions: Customizable Killzones (Asia, London, NY AM/PM) with optional high/low projections. ⚠️ Disclaimer & Risk Warning Not Financial Advice: This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to assist in identifying market structure and potential areas of interest. It does not guarantee profits. The methodology implemented in this script is inspired by and derived from widely available trading concepts, including principles commonly associated with Inner Circle Trader (ICT)–style market structure, liquidity, and inefficiency theory. These concepts are publicly available for free across multiple educational sources and are not proprietary to this script. The BJN iFVG Model represents the author’s independent interpretation, rule-set, automation logic, and execution framework built on top of those general ideas. Repainting Note: The "Ghost Mode" (Preview) functionality evaluates live price action. A "Triggered" status on a live candle may disappear if the candle closes without confirming the inversion. Always wait for candle closes for confirmed signals. Risk Management: The built-in position sizer is a calculation aid only. Always verify contract sizes and risk against your broker's requirements before executing trades. Risk & Platform Disclaimer This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. All signals, trade examples, position sizing, and performance metrics are hypothetical and for demonstration purposes only. Past or simulated performance does not guarantee future results. Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all traders. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and risk management.

Trading Halt DetectorThis is an indicator that plots RED square above or below the last candle when a trading halt occurs. Note that it only plots once the market resumes, not while it's being Halted. It calculates the time between every candle. If there's more than 1 minutes from a candle to the next one, a red square is going to show. For exemple, if you trade on the 1min time frame and a Halt up happens, it usualy takes 5 minutes for the market to resume. Since the resuming candle open 5 minutes later, a RED square is going to appear below the last candle before the HALT. 1. When a RED Square appears below the candle, it means that a HALT up occured. 2. When a RED Square appears above the candle, it means that a HALT down occured. You may use this indicator on multiple time frames but it's been built for 1 to 4 minutes time frame. It' s possible to adjust the time tolerance that you consider being a halt. The default setting is 1 minutes more than the chosen time frame.

Trade ValidatorThere is a moment every intraday trader knows too well: price is moving fast, levels are being tapped, and you are stuck asking yourself, “Is this the move, or just another trap?” This indicator was created to turn that hesitation into a clear, on‑chart narrative you can read in real time. It does not try to predict the future with magic; instead, it quietly organizes the past and present into a structured checklist so you can decide whether a trade idea truly deserves your attention. Each day, the tool starts by watching how price explores its range. It records the previous day’s high and low, tracks the active session’s extremes, and updates these levels bar by bar. These become the key liquidity pools: places where stops are likely resting and where sharp moves often begin. Instead of forcing you to manually redraw the same lines every session, the indicator takes care of that background work and keeps the chart clean, so your focus stays on the story price is telling. When price finally reaches for one of these levels, the script looks for signs that the raid is more than noise. It checks whether the market just swept a prior high or low, whether a simple shift in structure has confirmed a potential reversal, and whether a strong displacement candle has actually kicked in. Only when those ingredients come together does it highlight a potential entry zone, estimate a logical stop beyond the raid, and map nearby internal and external targets. At that point, you are no longer staring at random candles; you are looking at a structured scenario with clear boundaries. To tie everything together, the indicator prints a compact text panel directly on the chart. That panel summarizes session, directional bias, which liquidity was taken, whether structure has shifted, the type of entry array detected, and the approximate risk‑to‑reward to the first and second targets. In practice, this turns into a small trading companion: on good days it confirms what you already see and gives you the confidence to execute; on bad days it reminds you that one or more gates are missing and that “no trade” is also a valid decision. It is designed not to replace your judgment, but to keep you honest to a consistent process especially in the moments when emotions would otherwise take over.

Big Orders DetectorBig Order Detector — See Who’s in Control Before the Move The Big Order Detector is a price-action–based indicator designed to help traders identify where large buy or sell orders are entering the market, allowing you to assess which side—buyers or sellers—has control before a directional move occurs. Instead of reacting after price has already moved, this tool focuses on order dominance and participation, giving insight into intent, not just outcome. How It Works The Big Order Detector analyzes price behavior and volume interaction to highlight areas where unusually large buying or selling pressure is present. These areas often represent: Institutional participation Aggressive accumulation or distribution Defensive positioning before a breakout or reversal By observing which side is absorbing more orders, traders can better understand who is winning the battle at key price levels. Key Features ✔ Detects large buy orders entering the market ✔ Detects large sell orders entering the market ✔ Helps identify buyer vs seller dominance ✔ Provides early insight before major price moves ✔ Works across stocks, forex, futures, and crypto ✔ Designed for clean price action analysis ✔ Non-repainting, real-time logic How Traders Use It • Identify accumulation zones before bullish moves • Spot distribution zones before bearish moves • Confirm breakouts by seeing which side has control • Avoid false moves when order dominance disagrees with price • Align entries with institutional order flow bias When big orders consistently appear on one side of the market, price often follows. This indicator helps you see that pressure building in real time. Best Use Cases Market structure confirmation Breakout and reversal validation Trend continuation entries High-probability trade filtering Intraday and swing trading Important Note The Big Order Detector is not a buy/sell signal generator. It is a decision-support tool meant to be used alongside: Market structure Support & resistance Trend context Risk management Summary The Big Order Detector helps you answer one critical question: “Who is in control right now—buyers or sellers?” By revealing where large orders are actively entering the market, this indicator allows you to position yourself before the move, not after it. Important Notes This indicator does not predict the future. It provides context by showing where large orders are influencing price, helping traders make more informed decisions. ⚠️ Disclaimer: For educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Always apply proper risk management and confirm signals using additional analysis.

FVG + Close + Manip) 2.0 This indicator identifies confirmed Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using a three-candle structure and plots them on the chart as bullish or bearish zones. FVGs remain active until they are fully filled, either by wick or by candle body (user-selectable). Candles are highlighted only when they are manipulative (selectable logic: Base, Base + Break, or Displacement) and react correctly to an active FVG: bullish candles close with the body above a bullish FVG, and bearish candles close with the body below a bearish FVG. The script is non-repainting and fully customizable in terms of colors, borders, and methodology.

Footprint OverlayFootprint Overlay Visualize order flow at individual price levels with real-time Bid x Ask, Delta, or Total Volume data Overview Footprint Overlay is an order flow indicator that displays volume information at each price level within a candle, directly on your chart. Choose between Delta (buying pressure minus selling pressure), Bid x Ask (sell volume vs. buy volume), or Total Volume per level. This granular, level-by-level view reveals where institutional activity is concentrated, helping you identify key support and resistance zones based on actual order flow. Key Features Multiple Display Modes: Choose how you want to see the data: Delta: Shows net buying or selling pressure at each level (Buy Volume - Sell Volume). Bid x Ask: Displays sell volume vs. buy volume side-by-side (e.g., "150 x 230"). Total Volume: Shows the combined buy and sell volume at each level. Native Footprint Support (v6): For supported symbols, enable TradingView's native footprint data for accurate bid/ask volume attribution. Intrabar Delta Calculation: When native footprint data is unavailable, the indicator uses lower timeframe intrabar data to estimate delta at each price level using proprietary logic that considers candle body, wicks, and price action. Adaptive Tick Sizing: Automatically calculates an appropriate tick size (row height) based on asset type (crypto, forex, futures, etc.) and chart timeframe. Manual override is also available. Gradient Mode: Optionally scale box opacity relative to the maximum value in the candle, making it easy to spot the most significant levels at a glance. Customizable Colors: Set distinct colors for bullish (positive delta) and bearish (negative delta) levels. Value Filtering: Hide levels where the displayed value is below a specified magnitude to reduce noise. Label Display: Show delta or volume values directly on each level with K/M formatting for readability. How It Works Level Creation: For each confirmed candle, the indicator divides the price range into multiple levels. The number and size of levels are determined by ATR or adaptive tick calculations. Data Collection: If native footprint data is enabled, the indicator uses TradingView's footprint API to get accurate bid/ask volumes per row. Otherwise, it requests lower timeframe intrabar data (OHLCV) to analyze price action within the main candle. Delta Calculation: For intrabar mode, delta is calculated using proprietary logic that considers body size, wicks, and price action characteristics. Volume is distributed proportionally across all price levels the intrabar crosses. Visualization: Each price level is rendered as a colored box. The color indicates direction (bullish/bearish), and the text shows the value based on your selected display mode. Use Cases Support and Resistance Identification: Large delta or volume concentrations at specific price levels often indicate significant support or resistance zones where institutional traders are active. Order Flow Analysis: Understand where buying and selling pressure is concentrated within each candle, helping identify potential reversal or continuation zones. Entry and Exit Timing: Use footprint data to identify optimal entry and exit points based on actual order flow, not just price action. Confirmation Tool: Combine with other technical analysis tools. For example, a strong bullish delta at a support level can confirm a potential bounce. Settings Display Mode: Choose between Delta, Bid x Ask, or Total Volume. Show Delta Labels: Toggle to show/hide value labels on each level. Gradient Mode: Scale box opacity relative to the max value in the candle. Max Opacity: Control the maximum opacity for level boxes. Font Size: Adjust the text size for labels. Min Value to Show: Filter out levels with values below this magnitude. Max Bars to Draw: Limit drawing to the last N bars to prevent object limits. Bullish/Bearish Delta Color: Customize colors for bullish and bearish levels. Text Color: Customize the text color for labels. Use Footprint Data (v6): Enable TradingView's native footprint data for supported symbols. Tick Size Mode: Choose between Auto or Manual tick sizing. Tick Density Multiplier: Adjust the density of price levels. Manual Footprint Ticks: Set a fixed tick size when in Manual mode. Technical Notes The indicator updates in real-time as new intrabar data comes in, providing a live view of order flow on the current candle. Drawing is limited to the last N bars (configurable) to avoid exceeding TradingView's object limits. Adaptive tick sizing considers asset type and timeframe for optimal granularity. Native footprint mode provides the most accurate bid/ask attribution; intrabar mode is a best-effort estimate. Level size in intrabar mode is calculated using ATR(14) divided by 10, adapting to current market volatility.
