BB VolatilityBB Volatility indicator is monitoring the famous Bollinger Bands volatility in a normalised manner.
Could not find anything similar so thought this would be useful.
For confirmation signals of the BB to move into one or another direction it is complemented with SMA and EMA.
Additionally, it is complemented with Min Level of BB line - a level user can define and decide to use or not for even stronger conviction for a potential BB expansion.
How to use?
As it monitors when the BB narrows, it helps to identify potential price breakout moments in one or another direction.
Users can adjust duration and Min Level inputs as per security they are interested.
For better visualisation purposes, the background is plotted light green when BB crosses both SMA and EMA upwards. And plotted light red when BB crosses both downwards. Users can also adjust the colors as per their preferences.
This indicator just helps to define potential BB expansion moments. No indicator alone is perfect and for most effective use needs to be complemented with overall market context and other chart patterns.

Price-EMA Z-Score Backgroundhe “Price‑to‑EMA Z‑Score Background” indicator is designed to give you a clear, visual sense of when price has moved unusually far away from its smoothed trend, and to highlight those moments as potential overextension or mean‑reversion opportunities. Under the hood, it first computes a standard exponential moving average (EMA) of your chosen lookback length, then measures the raw difference between the current close and that EMA on every bar. To make that raw deviation comparable across different markets and timeframes, it converts the series of differences into a z‑score—subtracting the rolling mean of the deviations and dividing by their rolling standard deviation over a second lookback window.
Once you’ve normalized price‑to‑EMA distance into z‑score units, you can set two simple trigger levels: one upper threshold and one lower threshold. Whenever the z‑score climbs above the upper threshold, the chart background glows green, signaling that price is extended far above its EMA (and might be ripe for a pullback). Whenever the z‑score falls below the lower threshold, the background turns red, calling out an equally extreme move below the EMA (and a possible oversold bounce). Between those bands, no shading appears, letting you know price is trading within its “normal” range around the trend.
By adjusting the EMA period, the z‑score lookback, and the two trigger levels, you can dial in early warning signals (e.g. ±1 σ) or wait for very stretched moves (±2 σ or more). Used in concert with your favorite momentum or pattern tools—or even as a standalone visual cue—this simple background‑shading approach makes it easy to spot when a market is running too hot or too cold relative to its own recent average.
Yield Curve Regime Shading with LegendTakes two symbols (e.g. two futures contracts, two FX pairs, etc.) as inputs.
Calculates the “regime” as the sign of the change in their difference over an n‑period lookback.
Lets you choose whether you want to color the bars themselves or shade the background.
How it works
Inputs
symbolA, symbolB: the two tickers you’re comparing.
n: lookback in bars to measure the change in the spread.
mode: pick between “Shading” or “Candle Color”.
Data fetching
We use request.security() to pull each series at the chart’s timeframe.
Regime calculation
spread = priceA – priceB
spreadPrev = ta.valuewhen(not na(spread), spread , 0) (i.e. the spread n bars ago)
If spread > spreadPrev → bullish regime
If spread < spreadPrev → bearish regime
Plotting
Shading: apply bgcolor() in green/red.
Candle Color: use barcolor() to override the bar color.

Obsession.FX Sessions IndicatorSession & Fractal Structure Tool — for Market Phases and Microstructure Analysis
This script combines session timeframes with local fractal identification to help traders analyze market context and structural shifts. It is designed for those applying Smart Money Concepts, where precise session boundaries and reactions to key levels are critical.
Session Zones
The script visualizes the three main trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It helps to:
– identify active phases of market participation;
– track each session’s Highs and Lows;
– interpret price behavior in relation to intraday liquidity shifts.
Each session is fully customizable — including start/end time, background and border colors, and display style (box, high/low lines, filled zones).
Fractal Structure
Fractals are shown as local highs and lows, supporting:
– detection of BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes;
– building A→B ranges for structural flow;
– confirming short-term directional changes.
The fractal algorithm is optimized for responsiveness and clarity, with no repainting and minimal delay.
Purpose and Usage
This tool is intended for contextual reading of price action: determining the active session and monitoring price behavior within its boundaries, with a focus on microstructural reactions. It supports building precise entry logic based on the interaction between session ranges and fractal structure.
Closed Source Justification
The script is closed-source due to its use of proprietary logic for fractal detection and session integration, developed as part of a private trading methodology not available in public libraries.
ICT Setup 04 [TradingFinder] SFP Sweep Liquidity Fake CHoCH/BOS🔵 Introduction
In smart money and ICT based trading, liquidity is never random. Some of the most meaningful market moves begin with a liquidity sweep where price intentionally hunts a previous swing high or swing low to trigger stop loss orders and absorb volume.
This manipulation is often followed by a sharp reversal from a reaction zone, creating ideal conditions for a high probability entry. This indicator is built to detect exactly that. It identifies a valid swing point and defines a reaction zone where price is likely to react.
For short setups, the zone lies between the swing high and the maximum of the candle’s open or close. For long setups, it’s drawn from the swing low to the minimum of the open or close.
When price returns to this zone and forms a qualified confirmation candle typically a doji or a small bodied candle that closes inside the zone while sweeping the liquidity this is a potential sign of reversal.
The candle must show both the sweep and the inability to hold above or below the key level, signaling a fake breakout or failed move. By combining elements of liquidity hunt, reaction zone rejection, and candle based entry confirmation, this tool highlights sniper entry points used by smart money to trap retail traders and reverse the trend. It helps filter out noise and enhances timing, making it ideal for trading in alignment with institutional order flow.
Long Position :
Short Position :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator is designed to highlight precise moments where price sweeps liquidity and reacts within a high probability reversal zone. By identifying clean swing highs and lows and defining a smart reaction zone around them, it filters out weak fakeouts and focuses only on setups with strong institutional footprints.
The tool works best when combined with market structure analysis and is suitable for both scalping and intraday trading. Below is a breakdown of how to interpret the signals for long and short positions based on the visual setups provided.
🟣 Long Setup
In a long setup, the indicator first detects a valid swing low where liquidity has likely accumulated below. A reaction zone is then drawn between the swing low and the minimum of the open or close of the swing candle.
When price returns to this zone, it must sweep the previous low and form a precise confirmation candle, such as a doji or a small bodied candle, that closes inside the zone. This candle must also reject the lower level, showing failure to continue downward.
As shown in the chart, once the liquidity grab is complete and the confirmation candle forms, a clean long signal is issued, indicating a potential bullish reversal backed by smart money behavior.
🟣 Short Setup
In a short setup, the indicator identifies a swing high where buy-side liquidity is resting. It then constructs a reaction zone between the high and the maximum of the open or close of the swing candle. Price must return to this zone, sweep the swing high, and form a bearish confirmation candle inside the zone.
A classic example is a doji or rejection candle that traps breakout buyers and fails to hold above the previous high. In the provided chart, the price aggressively hunts the liquidity above the swing high, but the close within the reaction zone signals exhaustion, prompting a short signal with high reversal probability.
These setups represent moments where price action, liquidity behavior, and candle structure align to offer strong entries. By focusing on clean sweeps and reactive confirmations, the indicator helps traders stay on the side of smart money and avoid common breakout traps.

🔵 Conclusion
This indicator is built for traders who rely on liquidity driven setups and smart money principles. By combining swing structure analysis with precision reaction zones and strict entry confirmation, it isolates the exact moments where price sweeps liquidity and fails to continue. These are high value points where institutional activity often reveals itself, and retail traps unfold.
Unlike generic breakout tools, this script focuses on quality over quantity by requiring both a sweep of a swing high or low and a confirmed rejection candle that closes inside a predefined zone. With customizable swing depth, proximity filters, visual highlights, and alert functions, it offers a complete framework for identifying and acting on fake breakouts with confidence. Whether you trade forex, crypto, or indices, this tool enhances your ability to align with true order flow and take entries where liquidity is most likely to shift.

Hodie Smart Inside BarThe Hodie Smart Inside Bar indicator automatically detects and visually highlights inside bars — candles fully contained within the range of the previous (parent) candle.
How the indicator works:
Inside Bar Identification:
The indicator analyzes each candle and checks if its high is lower than the previous candle’s high, and its low is higher than the previous candle’s low. If this condition is met, the candle is considered an inside bar.
Size Filtering:
To filter out small and insignificant consolidations, the indicator compares the size of the parent candle’s range to the inside bar’s range. Only if the parent candle is significantly larger (2 times or more — adjustable parameter), the inside bar is considered significant.
Zone Drawing:
For each detected inside bar, the indicator draws a rectangular zone bounded by the parent candle’s high and low. This zone automatically extends to the right as new bars appear until the price moves outside the parent candle’s range.
Zone Completion:
Once the price closes above the parent candle’s high or below its low, the zone is considered complete and stops extending.
Visual Aids:
If enabled, the indicator can shade the background of the current inside bar for additional visual emphasis.
A label with the text "IB" appears above the inside bar candle on the chart for easier identification.
Alerts:
Supports alerts when a new inside bar forms.
Alerts help traders notice important signals promptly.
To activate, create an alert on the indicator with the condition “New Inside Bar”.
Benefits of the Indicator:
Inside bars often signal consolidation and potential liquidity accumulation, which may be followed by a strong impulsive breakout. This indicator helps traders quickly identify consolidation zones and prepare for possible price moves.

Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)Core Concept
Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed smoothing factors, FRAMA adapts its responsiveness based on how "fractal" or chaotic the price movement is:
In trending markets (low fractal dimension), it becomes more responsive
In choppy/sideways markets (high fractal dimension), it becomes smoother
How It Works
1. Fractal Dimension Calculation:
Splits the lookback period into two halves
Calculates price ranges for each half and the total period
Uses logarithmic ratios to determine the fractal dimension (bounded between 1.0 and 2.0)
2. Dynamic Alpha Calculation:
Converts fractal dimension to a smoothing factor (alpha)
Higher fractal dimension = lower alpha = smoother average
Lower fractal dimension = higher alpha = more responsive average
3. Adaptive Smoothing:
Applies the calculated alpha to create the moving average
FRAMA = alpha × current_price + (1 - alpha) × previous_FRAMA
Key Parameters
Length (16): Lookback period for calculations
Fast Constant (4.0): Maximum responsiveness limit
Slow Constant (300.0): Minimum responsiveness limit
Visual Features
Line Color: Green when rising, red when falling
Background: Light green above FRAMA (bullish), light red below (bearish)
Information Table: Shows current FRAMA value, price, trend direction, and efficiency ratio
Close Price: Plotted as a semi-transparent white line for comparison
Trading Applications
FRAMA is particularly useful for:
Trend Following: More responsive in strong trends, less noisy in consolidations
Support/Resistance: Acts as dynamic support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
Market Regime Detection: The efficiency ratio helps identify trending vs. ranging markets
Entry/Exit Signals: Crossovers and price position relative to FRAMA
The indicator automatically balances between being fast enough to catch trends early while being smooth enough to avoid false signals in choppy markets.
In this FRAMA script, fractal refers to measuring the complexity or "roughness" of price movements over time, not the self-similar geometric patterns we typically think of.
What the Script Measures
The script calculates a fractal dimension that quantifies how chaotic or smooth the price action is:
Low fractal dimension (closer to 1.0): Price moves in a relatively straight, trending manner
High fractal dimension (closer to 2.0): Price moves in a jagged, choppy, sideways manner.
The Logic
If the market is trending smoothly:
The sum of the two half-period ranges will be close to the total range
This gives a fractal dimension closer to 1.0
The indicator becomes more responsive (faster)
If the market is choppy/sideways:
The sum of the two half-period ranges will be much larger than the total range
This gives a fractal dimension closer to 2.0
The indicator becomes less responsive (smoother)
Practical Example
Imagine a 16-period lookback:
Trending market: Price goes from 100 → 116 steadily
Choppy market: Price bounces 100→108→102→114→106→116
The choppy market has a higher fractal dimension because there's more "path length" relative to the actual distance traveled.
Why This Matters
The fractal dimension becomes the adaptive mechanism that automatically adjusts the moving average's sensitivity based on current market conditions - making it faster in trends and smoother in consolidations.
what is efficiency that is shown in tables
The efficiency shown in the table measures how "efficient" or smooth the FRAMA line is compared to the actual price movement.
What It Means
Efficiency = FRAMA Movement ÷ Price Movement
Values close to 0: FRAMA is very smooth/stable while price is moving significantly
Values close to 1: FRAMA is moving almost as much as the price
Values > 1: FRAMA is moving more than the raw price (rare, usually in very short periods)
Practical Interpretation
Low Efficiency (0.1 - 0.3):
FRAMA is doing a good job of smoothing out noise
Market is likely choppy/sideways
The adaptive mechanism is working - keeping the average stable during consolidation
High Efficiency (0.7 - 1.0):
FRAMA is closely following price movements
Market is likely trending strongly
The adaptive mechanism is making the average more responsive
Medium Efficiency (0.3 - 0.7):
Balanced market conditions
FRAMA is providing moderate smoothing
Trading Context
This efficiency ratio helps you understand:
Market regime: Is this a trending or ranging market?
Signal quality: Low efficiency periods might produce fewer but higher-quality signals
Adaptive performance: How well the FRAMA is adapting to current conditions
For example, if you see efficiency at 0.15, it means the FRAMA moved only 15% as much as the price did in the last bar, indicating it's successfully filtering out noise in a choppy market. If efficiency is 0.85, the FRAMA is closely tracking price, suggesting a trending environment where you want the average to be responsive.

Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.
