Fvg

[TehThomas] - Aligned Timeframe Fair Value Gaps █ OVERVIEW This indicator automatically detects and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes on your current chart, following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. It intelligently selects the optimal higher timeframe based on your current chart timeframe and tracks both filled and unfilled gaps with full visual customization, including dynamic shrinking gaps and midline references. █ KEY FEATURES ✓ Automatic Timeframe Alignment - Intelligently selects higher timeframe based on current chart (1min→15min, 5min→1H, 1H→Daily, etc.) - Uses confirmed/closed HTF bars only for reliable gap detection - Displays timeframe label on each FVG box for clarity ✓ Dynamic Gap Management - Optional dynamic (shrinking) gaps that contract as price fills them partially - Automatic removal when gaps are fully filled by price - Tracks up to 200 historical FVGs with intelligent visibility management ✓ Advanced Display Controls - Show only unfilled gaps (reduces chart clutter) - Configurable box extension length into future bars - Optional midline display with customizable style (solid/dashed/dotted) - Fully customizable colors for bullish/bearish gaps, borders, and labels █ HOW IT WORKS The indicator monitors the aligned higher timeframe and detects three-candle patterns where price creates an imbalance, areas where aggressive buying or selling left gaps that were never properly filled. When a bullish FVG forms (gap between HTF bar lows and highs), it indicates rapid upward price movement that skipped price levels, creating a zone where price may return to seek "fair value". Bearish FVGs work inversely, forming during aggressive downward moves. The indicator places boxes starting from where the gap actually formed (2 HTF bars ago) and extends them forward. As new bars form, it continuously checks if price has entered or filled each gap. In dynamic mode, gaps shrink in real-time as price partially fills them. The visibility system ensures only the most recent unfilled gaps are displayed, keeping your chart clean while maintaining historical data. █ SETTINGS Boxes Group: - Extend boxes: Number of bars to project gaps into the future (default: 20) - Min Gap Size (%): Minimum percentage size to filter small/noise gaps (default: 0%) - Dynamic (shrinking) gaps: Enable gaps to shrink as price fills them partially - Max Unfilled Gaps to Display: Limit visible unfilled gaps on chart (default: 10) - Max FVGs in History: Total gaps stored in memory for tracking (50-200, affects performance) Colors Group: - Bullish Gap Color: Fill color for bullish FVGs - Bearish Gap Color: Fill color for bearish FVGs - Gap Border Color: Border color for all gap boxes Midline Group: - Show Midline: Display 50% level line through each gap - Midline Color: Color of the midline - Midline Style: Visual style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted) Label Group: - Show FVG Label: Display timeframe label on each gap box - Label Text Color: Color of label text - Label Size: Text size (Tiny/Small/Normal/Large) █ HOW TO USE 1. Apply to any timeframe - The indicator automatically selects the appropriate higher timeframe for analysis 2. Identify imbalance zones - FVG boxes show areas where price moved too quickly, creating inefficiency that often acts as a magnet for future price action 3. Use for retracement entries - Wait for price to return to an unfilled FVG after a Break of Structure (BOS) or Market Structure Shift (MSS) for high-probability entry zones 4. Watch midlines - The 50% level of each gap often provides the strongest reaction point 5. Monitor gap filling - When gaps are filled, they signal that the imbalance has been resolved; dynamic mode shows partial fills in real-time █ TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES Trend Continuation Strategy: After a strong bullish move creates multiple bullish FVGs, wait for price to retrace into the nearest unfilled FVG, then enter long positions expecting continuation. The FVG acts as a support zone where institutional buyers may re-enter. Confluence Trading: Combine FVGs with other ICT concepts like Order Blocks, liquidity grabs, or Premium/Discount zones. The strongest setups occur when an FVG aligns with multiple confluence factors, increasing probability of successful retracement entries. Breakout Confirmation: After a Break of Structure, look for price to return to the FVG created during the breakout candle. This retest provides a lower-risk entry point with clear invalidation levels (below/above the gap). █ IDEAL FOR - ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology practitioners - Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders seeking institutional footprints - Multi-timeframe analysis traders who want higher timeframe context on lower timeframe charts - Price action traders focusing on supply-demand imbalances - Swing and intraday traders seeking high-probability retracement zones - Traders who value clean, organized chart visualization with controlled gap display █ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Pine Script Version: 6 - Chart Type: Overlay indicator - Maximum Boxes: 500 - Maximum Lines: 500 (for midlines) - Lookback Period: 2000 bars - HTF Data: Uses confirmed/closed bars with lookahead to avoid repainting - Memory Management: Stores up to 200 historical FVGs with intelligent visibility control - Update Frequency: Real-time gap tracking and dynamic adjustment on every bar █ NOTES & DISCLAIMERS - FVGs represent areas of price imbalance, not guaranteed reversal or continuation zones - Higher timeframe gaps may take significant time to be filled or may never fill in strong trending markets - Dynamic gaps provide visual feedback but increase computational load; disable for better performance on slower devices - Max history setting affects performance: higher values enable more unfilled gaps but require more processing power - This indicator works best when combined with proper market structure analysis, liquidity concepts, and risk management - Past performance of FVG fills does not guarantee future results - Always use appropriate position sizing and stop losses when trading FVG retracements

BISI - SIBI (FVG) + Order Blocks + iFVG Impulsive Candles This indicator highlights three core price-action elements used in imbalance and liquidity-based trading: Fair Value Gaps (FVG) — BISI / SIBI • Bullish FVG (BISI): when the current low is above the high from two bars ago (low > high ). • Bearish FVG (SIBI): when the current high is below the low from two bars ago (high < low ). Each FVG is drawn as a box with customizable text, color, opacity, and borders. Order Blocks (OB) — Displacement Logic • Bullish OB: previous candle is bearish and current close breaks above the previous high (displacement). • Bearish OB: previous candle is bullish and current close breaks below the previous low. The Order Block is defined by candle high/low and drawn as a box. iFVG Candle Coloring (Optional) Bars are colored when an FVG or strict iFVG condition is detected. This allows quick visual identification of imbalance candles without overcrowding the chart. AUTO STRETCH & AUTO DELETE — Clean Chart Logic • Stretch: FVG and OB boxes extend to the right until mitigation. • Auto-delete: once a zone is considered “filled,” it can be automatically removed to keep charts clean. Definition of “filled” used in this script: A zone is considered touched when the candle body (Open/Close range) crosses the box range: min(open, close) < top AND max(open, close) > bottom. This is intentionally stricter than wick-based fills to avoid premature invalidations. KEY SETTINGS • Lookback Bars — Limits detection range for performance and clarity. • Max PD Arrays — Controls maximum stored zones to prevent overload. • Stretch Until Filled — Extends zones dynamically. • Auto-delete When Filled — Removes mitigated zones. • Opacity & Borders — Full visual customization. • Min Penetration (iFVG) — Controls strictness of iFVG qualification. BEST PRACTICES • FVGs are commonly used as retracement zones after displacement, especially within HTF structure alignment. • Order Blocks are most effective when preceded by liquidity sweeps or strong expansion. • iFVG coloring helps identify impulsive behavior quickly without clutter. LIMITATIONS • This is a visual analytical tool, not a standalone entry system. • Fill logic is based on body penetration (not wick-based). • Very low timeframes with large lookback settings may impact performance.

NX - ICT PD Arrays (Enhanced v2) Credit to asyncoder Credit to @asyncoder This is a TradingView Pine Script indicator that identifies and displays ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Premium Discount Arrays on a price chart. Here's what it does: What It Shows The indicator detects two key price action concepts: 1. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) Bullish FVG (BISI): When there's a gap between the current candle's low and the low of 2 candles ago, indicating unfilled buy-side imbalance Bearish FVG (SIBI): When there's a gap between the current candle's high and the high of 2 candles ago, indicating unfilled sell-side imbalance 2. Order Blocks (OBs) Bullish OB: A down candle followed by strong upward price movement (displacement), suggesting institutional buying Bearish OB: An up candle followed by strong downward displacement, suggesting institutional selling How It Works The indicator scans the last 250 bars (configurable) and: Detects patterns - Looks for the specific candle formations that create FVGs and OBs Filters quality - Uses multiple criteria to show only significant zones: Minimum gap/block size relative to ATR (volatility) Minimum price displacement percentage Optional swing point alignment Significance scoring (0-100 scale) Draws boxes - Creates colored zones on the chart that extend forward until price fills them (touches the zone) Adjustable sensitivity - Offers presets from "Very High" (shows many zones) to "Low" (shows only the strongest), or custom filtering Trading Use These zones are considered areas where institutional orders may be waiting, potentially acting as support/resistance. Traders watch for price reactions when these unfilled zones are tested. The indicator helps identify these levels automatically rather than marking them manually.

Bollinger Bands with Squeeze. Adjustable consolidation lines.Core Purpose This is a Bollinger Bands indicator with squeeze detection and consolidation zone identification - it helps you spot low volatility periods that often precede big price moves. Main Components: 1. Bollinger Bands (The Foundation) Basis Line: Moving average (SMA/EMA/etc.) of price - shows the trend Upper/Lower Bands: Calculated as basis ± (2 × standard deviation) When bands are wide = high volatility When bands are narrow = low volatility 2. Squeeze Detection (Yellow highlights) pinenormalizedWidth = (bbWidth - lowestWidth) / widthRange inSqueeze = normalizedWidth < squeezeThreshold Monitors how tight the BB bands are compared to recent history When bands get extremely narrow (< 2% threshold), it flags a squeeze Visual cues during squeeze: Basis turns yellow Bands turn orange Background gets yellow tint Yellow dot appears at top of chart Trading significance: Squeezes often precede explosive breakouts - low volatility builds pressure 3. Consolidation Detection (Green lines) pineconsRange = (consHigh - consLow) / close isConsolidating = consRange < consRangeThreshold Looks back 10 bars and checks if price is trapped in a tight range If the high-to-low range is < 1.5% of current price = consolidation Draws green horizontal lines at the consolidation high and low Lines persist for 5 bars after breakout Trading significance: These become support/resistance levels - great for entries on breakouts How It Works Together: Squeeze forms - Bands narrow, colors change to yellow/orange Consolidation detected - Green lines mark the trading range Breakout happens - Price breaks above/below green lines with momentum You trade the direction of the breakout with clearly defined levels Customizable Settings: Bollinger Bands: Length (20), source (close), standard deviation multiplier (2.0) All colors for normal vs squeeze states Squeeze: Threshold (0.02) - lower = tighter squeeze required Consolidation: Lookback period (10 bars) Range threshold (0.015 = 1.5%) Line color What This Gives You: Early warning system for volatility breakouts Clear support/resistance levels from consolidation zones Visual confirmation when conditions align (squeeze + consolidation = prime setup) Works on any timeframe - especially powerful when higher TF shows consolidation for lower TF entries This is essentially a breakout trading system that combines volatility compression (squeeze) with range identification (consolidation) to help you catch explosive moves with defined risk levels.

All-in-One SMC Pro All-in-One SMC Pro: CHOCH • BOS • FVG • Order Blocks • Liquidity + Discount/Premium This open-source overlay indicator combines the five most widely used Smart Money / ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts into a single, customizable tool: - Break of Structure (BOS) - Change of Character (CHOCH) - Fair Value Gaps (FVG) - Order Blocks (mitigation blocks) - Liquidity grabs (equal highs/lows) - Discount / Premium zones Why this combination? SMC traders rarely use these concepts in isolation. A complete workflow typically involves: 1. Identifying market structure direction (BOS) or reversal (CHOCH) 2. Locating high-probability entry zones (Order Blocks, FVGs) 3. Confirming institutional manipulation (liquidity grabs of equal highs/lows) 4. Understanding price positioning relative to value (discount = buy bias, premium = sell bias) Putting them all in one script reduces chart clutter, improves confluence visibility, and helps newer SMC users see how the pieces connect — without needing 5–7 separate indicators. Core Concepts & Detection Logic 1. Break of Structure (BOS) - Bullish BOS: price closes above previous swing high - Bearish BOS: price closes below previous swing low - Swing points detected with user-defined lookback (default 5 bars left/right) 2. Change of Character (CHOCH) - Bullish CHOCH: price makes lower low but closes above previous swing high (bearish structure broken → bullish reversal signal) - Bearish CHOCH: price makes higher high but closes below previous swing low (bullish structure broken → bearish reversal signal) 3. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) - Bullish FVG: gap up after a bearish candle (low > high ) - Bearish FVG: gap down after a bullish candle (high < low ) - Sensitivity controlled via ATR multiplier (default 0.1 × ATR(14)) - Dashed horizontal lines mark the gap boundaries 4. Order Blocks - Bullish OB: previous swing low after bullish BOS (potential demand zone) - Bearish OB: previous swing high after bearish BOS (potential supply zone) - Drawn as semi-transparent boxes extending rightward (lookback period adjustable) 5. Liquidity Grabs - Detects clusters of equal highs/lows (default 3-bar lookback) - Labels appear when price reverses after touching equal levels (classic stop-hunt / liquidity raid) 6. Discount / Premium Zones - Equilibrium proxy = (H + L + C) / 3 - Discount: price below ~0.5% of equilibrium (green tint – buy bias area) - Premium: price above ~0.5% of equilibrium (red tint – sell bias area) Visual Customization - Toggle each element independently (BOS, CHOCH, FVG, OB, Liquidity, Disc/Prem) - Separate bullish/bearish colors + dedicated FVG/OB/Liquidity colors - Max lines/labels set high (500) to handle longer histories Alerts (built-in conditions) - Bullish / Bearish BOS - Bullish / Bearish CHOCH - Bullish / Bearish FVG formation How to Use - Best on 5m–4h timeframes for forex, indices, crypto, gold (high-liquidity instruments) - Typical SMC workflow example: 1. Look for CHOCH → potential trend reversal 2. Wait for BOS in new direction → structure confirmation 3. Seek entry at Order Block or FVG mitigation in discount/premium zone 4. Liquidity grabs near swing extremes often precede strong moves - Combine with session times, news events, or higher-timeframe bias — never trade signals in isolation - Adjust swingLen (3–10) for sensitivity: lower = more signals, higher = cleaner structure Publishing Recommendation - Publish with a clean chart (recommended: 15m–1h EURUSD, XAUUSD, BTCUSD, or NQ1!) - Show a recent CHOCH → BOS → OB/FVG confluence sequence - Remove all other indicators, drawings, and unnecessary gridlines Always use discretion, proper risk management, and backtest thoroughly. Feedback welcome — especially on FVG sensitivity or OB refinement ideas!

Market Structure Dashboard | Flux Charts GENERAL OVERVIEW Market Structure Dashboard is a multi-timeframe market structure analysis indicator. It combines EMA trend detection, swing high/low tracking, market structure labels, Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap detection, liquidity sweep detection, volume analysis, volatility analysis, trading sessions, ICT killzones, a weighted trend bias system, and HTF levels into one unified dashboard. Each component is calculated independently across up to 7 configurable timeframes and displayed together in a single organized view. (Screenshot: Full dashboard overview - all sections visible) (Screenshot: Dashboard on a busy chart showing OB/FVG boxes, swing labels, HTF lines) WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THIS INDICATOR? The core idea is that a trade setup becomes more reliable when multiple timeframes agree on direction. A bullish signal on a 5-minute chart carries more weight when the 15-minute, 1-hour, and daily timeframes also show bullish conditions. Analyzing each timeframe separately is both time-consuming and prone to error. The Market Structure Dashboard automates this process by calculating key metrics across all enabled timeframes and presenting them side by side. The indicator draws from two established trading methodologies. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) focuses on identifying institutional footprints in price action through patterns like Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and liquidity sweeps. Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology emphasizes time-based analysis through specific trading windows called killzones and the importance of previous day, week, and month highs and lows. Rather than treating these concepts in isolation, the dashboard organizes them into a layered framework. Structure shows where the market has been. Zones show where it may react. Sessions and killzones show when activity tends to increase. The trend bias system combines all factors into a single weighted score, giving traders a quick read on overall market sentiment across timeframes. The purpose of the Market Structure Dashboard is to present the current market activity across multiple timeframes and how these conditions relate to earlier market structure, volume, and timing. (Screenshot: Multi-timeframe confluence example - all TFs showing bearish alignment) (Screenshot: Multi-timeframe disagreement example - mixed signals across TFs) MARKET STRUCTURE DASHBOARD FEATURES The Market Structure Dashboard indicator includes 14 main features: EMA Trend Detection Swing High/Low Tracking Market Structure Labels (HH/HL/LH/LL) Order Block Detection Fair Value Gap Detection Liquidity Sweep & Reclaim Detection Volume Analysis Volatility Analysis Trading Sessions ICT Killzones Trend Bias System HTF Levels (PDH/L, PWH/L, PMH/L) Visual Overlays Dashboard Customization Each component operates independently while sharing the same underlying market structure logic. All features are calculated across up to 7 user-configurable timeframes and displayed in a unified dashboard. Detailed explanations for each component are provided in the sections that follow. EMA TREND DETECTION 🔹 What is an EMA? An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent price data. Unlike a Simple Moving Average that weights all prices equally, the EMA responds faster to recent price changes while still considering historical data. Traders use EMAs to identify trend direction and dynamic support/resistance levels. When price trades above the EMA, the short-term trend is considered bullish. When price trades below the EMA, the short-term trend is considered bearish. The distance between price and EMA can indicate trend strength, with larger distances suggesting stronger momentum. 🔹 How the Indicator Uses EMA The dashboard calculates a 9-period EMA (configurable) for each enabled timeframe. The EMA Trend column displays both direction and distance. ◇ Direction is shown with an up arrow (↑) when price is above EMA, or a down arrow (↓) when price is below EMA. ◇ Distance is displayed as percentage, price, or pips based on the Distance Display setting. For example, "+0.45% ↑" means price is 0.45% above the EMA on that timeframe. ◇ Color coding shows green when price is above EMA (bullish) and red when price is below EMA (bearish). The EMA can optionally be plotted as a visual overlay on the chart. It can also be included as a factor in the Trend Bias calculation, where each timeframe's EMA direction contributes to the overall bias score. (Screenshot: EMA column showing bearish readings - red, ↓) SWING HIGH/LOW TRACKING 🔹 What are Swing Highs and Lows? A swing high is a price peak where a candle's high is higher than the highs of surrounding candles. A swing low is a price trough where a candle's low is lower than the lows of surrounding candles. These points represent short-term reversals and define the boundaries of price movement. Swing points are foundational to market structure analysis. Breaking a swing high suggests bullish momentum. Breaking a swing low suggests bearish momentum. The sequence of swing points creates market structure patterns that reveal trend direction. 🔹 How the Indicator Tracks Swing Highs/Lows? The indicator detects swing points using a configurable Swing Length parameter (default: 5). A swing high is confirmed when a candle's high is higher than the specified number of candles on both sides. A swing low is confirmed when a candle's low is lower than the specified number of candles on both sides. This confirmation requirement means swing points are identified with a delay, ensuring they are valid pivots rather than temporary spikes. This same Swing Length setting is also used by Order Block detection and Market Structure labels, so adjusting it affects all three features. ◇ The Swing H/L column displays a visual position indicator showing where price sits within the current swing range. A dot moves along a bar between L (swing low) and H (swing high) to show exact position. ◇ When price breaks outside the range, arrows indicate the direction. An up arrow (↑) appears when price breaks above the swing high. A swing high break indicates that buyers have pushed price beyond the previous peak, suggesting bullish momentum and a potential continuation higher. (Screenshot: Price above Swing High) A down arrow (↓) appears when price breaks below the swing low. A swing low break indicates that sellers have pushed price beyond the previous trough, suggesting bearish momentum and a potential continuation lower (Screenshot: Price breaks Swing Low) When a liquidity sweep occurs (price breaks a level then reclaims it), special arrows appear: ⤴ for a swept and reclaimed low, ⤵ for a swept and reclaimed high. A swept and reclaimed swing means price broke beyond the level, likely triggering stop-loss orders resting beyond it, but then reversed back inside the range. This suggests the breakout was a false move and the opposite direction may follow. Liquidity sweeps are explained in detail in the Liquidity Sweep & Reclaim Detection section below. ◇ Color coding shows green when price is in the lower half of the range or breaks above the swing high, and red when price is in the upper half or breaks below the swing low. (Screenshot) ◇ Tooltips provide additional context when hovering over any Swing H/L cell, such as "Price is nearing swing low on 15M" or "Price above swing high on 1H - swing high broken." MARKET STRUCTURE LABELS (HH/HL/LH/LL) 🔹 What is Market Structure? Market structure refers to the pattern of swing highs and swing lows that price creates over time. By comparing consecutive swing points, each new swing can be classified into one of four types. ◇ HH (Higher High): A swing high that is higher than the previous swing high, indicating bullish momentum. ◇ HL (Higher Low): A swing low that is higher than the previous swing low, indicating bullish momentum. ◇ LH (Lower High): A swing high that is lower than the previous swing high, indicating bearish momentum. ◇ LL (Lower Low): A swing low that is lower than the previous swing low, indicating bearish momentum. (Screenshot: Bullish and Bearish Swing Points) Bullish structure consists of HH and HL patterns, where price makes higher highs and higher lows. Bearish structure consists of LH and LL patterns, where price makes lower highs and lower lows. Mixed structure contains conflicting patterns and indicates consolidation or potential trend change. 🔹 How the Indicator Displays Market Structure The Structure column shows the last three structure labels in sequence along with an overall bias arrow. ◇ "LL-LH-HL →" indicates mixed structure with no clear direction. ◇ "HH-HL-HH ↑" indicates bullish structure with higher highs and higher lows. ◇ "LH-LL-LH ↓" indicates bearish structure with lower highs and lower lows. (Screenshot: Dashboard showing neutral, bearish and bullish indication across different timeframes) The indicator tracks each new swing point as it forms, compares it to the previous swing of the same type, and assigns the appropriate label. Market Structure labels use the same Swing Length setting as Swing High/Low tracking, so both features stay synchronized. Structure bias is determined by the most recent high type and low type combined. If the last swing high was HH and the last swing low was HL, bias is bullish. If the last swing high was LH and the last swing low was LL, bias is bearish. Any other combination shows neutral. Color coding shows green for bullish structure, red for bearish structure, and gray for mixed or neutral structure. ORDER BLOCK DETECTION 🔹 What is an Order Block? An Order Block is a concept from Smart Money analysis representing a candle or consolidation area where institutional orders may have been placed. In SMC methodology, Order Blocks are identified as the last opposing candle before a significant price move that breaks market structure. ◇ A Bullish Order Block is the last bearish candle before a rally that breaks a swing high. When price returns to this zone, it may find support. ◇ A Bearish Order Block is the last bullish candle before a drop that breaks a swing low. When price returns to this zone, it may find resistance. Order Blocks are considered "mitigated" when price trades completely through them, suggesting the institutional orders have been filled. 🔹 How the Indicator Detects Order Blocks The detection algorithm follows a specific sequence to identify valid Order Blocks. ◇ Step 1: The indicator tracks swing highs and swing lows using the configured Swing Length setting (shared with Swing High/Low tracking and Market Structure labels). ◇ Step 2: When price breaks above a swing high, the indicator identifies a bullish breakout. When price breaks below a swing low, it identifies a bearish breakout. ◇ Step 3: For a bullish Order Block, the indicator finds the candle with the lowest low between the broken swing high and the current bar. For a bearish Order Block, it finds the candle with the highest high between the broken swing low and the current bar. ◇ Step 4: The Order Block zone is created spanning from that candle's low to its high. ◇ Step 5: Mitigation is applied when price closes through the Order Block. Bullish OBs are mitigated when price closes below the zone. Bearish OBs are mitigated when price closes above the zone. The Order Block column shows the nearest unmitigated Order Block for each timeframe. "IN BULL OB ↑" means price is currently inside a bullish Order Block. "BULL OB (5.4%) ↑" means the nearest OB is bullish and 5.5% away. "NONE" means no unmitigated Order Blocks exist on that timeframe. (Screenshot: Nearest order block is Bull OB) (Screenshot: Price in Bear OB) FAIR VALUE GAP DETECTION 🔹What is a Fair Value Gap? A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also called an imbalance, is a three-candle pattern where a gap exists between the first and third candle that the middle candle did not fill. This gap represents an area where price moved quickly, creating an imbalance in the market. ◇ A Bullish FVG forms when the first candle's high is lower than the third candle's low, creating an upward gap. When price returns to this gap, it may find support. ◇ A Bearish FVG forms when the first candle's low is higher than the third candle's high, creating a downward gap. When price returns to this gap, it may find resistance. FVGs are considered mitigated when price wicks into the gap, filling the inefficiency. 🔹 How the Indicator Detects FVGs The detection logic checks for the three-candle gap pattern with specific conditions. ◇ For a Bullish FVG, the current candle's low must be above the candle from three bars ago's high (gap exists), and the middle candle must be bullish (displacement candle). ◇ For a Bearish FVG, the current candle's high must be below the candle from three bars ago's low (gap exists), and the middle candle must be bearish (displacement candle). ◇ The FVG zone spans from the gap's bottom to its top. ◇ Mitigation occurs when price wicks below the gap bottom for bullish FVGs, or above the gap top for bearish FVGs. Note that FVG mitigation is more sensitive than Order Block mitigation. FVGs only need a wick to touch them, while Order Blocks require a close through them. The FVG column displays similarly to Order Blocks. "IN BULL FVG ↑" means price is inside a bullish Fair Value Gap. "BULL FVG (0.2%) ↑" means the nearest FVG is bullish and 0.2% away. "NONE" means no unmitigated FVGs exist on that timeframe. (Screenshot: Price in Bull FVG) (Screenshot: Bear FVG +3.4% away) LIQUIDITY SWEEP & RECLAIM DETECTION 🔹 What is a Liquidity Sweep? Liquidity refers to resting orders in the market, particularly stop-loss orders. Traders commonly place stops just beyond swing highs and swing lows, creating pools of liquidity at these levels. A liquidity sweep occurs when price breaks beyond a swing point, potentially triggering stops, but then reverses and closes back inside the range. ◇ A Bullish Liquidity Sweep occurs when price breaks below a swing low, then reverses and closes back above it. This pattern suggests potential buying interest after weak hands have been stopped out. ◇ A Bearish Liquidity Sweep occurs when price breaks above a swing high, then reverses and closes back below it. This pattern suggests potential selling interest after weak hands have been stopped out. 🔹 How the Indicator Detects Liquidity Sweeps The indicator tracks whether each swing level has been broken and then reclaimed. ◇ A swing low is marked as broken when price trades below it. A swing high is marked as broken when price trades above it. ◇ A reclaim is detected when price closes back above a broken swing low (bullish) or back below a broken swing high (bearish). ◇ The break and reclaim flags reset when a new swing point forms, ensuring fresh detection for each level. When a liquidity sweep is detected, the Swing H/L column displays special indicators. The ⤴ symbol indicates a bullish liquidity sweep where price swept the low and reclaimed. The ⤵ symbol indicates a bearish liquidity sweep where price swept the high and reclaimed. Tooltips provide additional context such as "Liquidity sweep - price swept swing low and reclaimed on 15M." (Screenshot: Swing High Swept) (Screenshot: Previous Month Low Swept) VOLUME ANALYSIS 🔹 What is Volume Analysis? Volume represents the number of shares, contracts, or units traded during a given period. High volume suggests strong interest and participation behind a price move. Low volume suggests weak interest and moves may lack follow-through. Comparing current volume to average volume helps identify unusual activity. 🔹 How the Indicator Analyzes Volume The dashboard calculates current volume as a percentage of its 20-period simple moving average. ◇ The Volume column displays a visual bar using filled and empty blocks to represent volume level relative to average. ◇ Volume states are classified as EXTREME (over 200% of average), HIGH (over 120%), NORMAL (over 80%), LOW (over 50%), or VERY LOW (50% or less). (Screenshot: Extreme Volume) ◇ Color coding shows yellow for extreme volume, orange for high volume, and gray for normal, low, and very low. ◇ Tooltips show the exact percentage, such as "Volume is currently at 145% of average." VOLATILITY ANALYSIS 🔹 What is Volatility? Volatility measures how much price fluctuates over a given period. High volatility means large price swings. Low volatility means small price movements. The Average True Range (ATR) is a common volatility measure that calculates the average of true ranges over a period. 🔹 How the Indicator Measures Volatility The dashboard calculates a 14-period ATR and compares it to its own 20-period average (configurable). ◇ The Volatility column displays the current state as HIGH (ATR over 130% of average), NORMAL (ATR between 70-130% of average), or LOW (ATR under 70% of average). ◇ Color coding shows red for high volatility, gray for normal, and green for low volatility. ◇ Tooltips provide context such as "Volatility is currently high" or "Volatility is currently low." Low volatility often precedes significant moves, making it a useful setup indicator when combined with price at key levels. (Screenshot: High Volatility) TRADING SESSIONS 🔹 What are Trading Sessions? Financial markets have varying activity levels throughout the day. Trading is typically divided into three major sessions based on which financial centers are open. ◇ Asian Session runs from 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM EST. It is characterized by generally lower volatility and ranging price action ◇ London Session runs from 3:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST. It is characterized by higher volatility and trending moves ◇ New York Session runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. It has high volatility especially during the London overlap from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST, affecting USD pairs and all majors. 🔹 How the Indicator Displays Sessions The Session column shows the current session name in the first row as ASIAN, LONDON, NEW YORK, or OFF HOURS (between sessions from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST). ◇ The second row shows a progress bar that fills as the session advances, with each block representing approximately one hour. ◇ Sessions are color-coded as blue for Asian, green for London, orange for New York, and gray for off hours. These colors can be customized in the settings ◇ The indicator uses New York (EST) timezone for all session calculations and includes replay mode support. (Asian Session and Killzone) ICT KILLZONES 🔹 What are Killzones? Killzones are specific time windows within each trading session when market activity tends to be higher. These windows are derived from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and represent times when significant moves are more likely to occur. ◇ Asian Killzone runs from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM EST and often sets the initial range for the day. ◇ London Killzone runs from 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM EST and covers the London open when major moves are common. ◇ New York AM Killzone runs from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM EST and covers the NYSE open, a high volume period. ◇ New York Lunch runs from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EST and typically has lower activity and consolidation. ◇ New York PM Killzone runs from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM EST when afternoon continuation moves occur. 🔹 How the Indicator Displays Killzones The Killzone column shows the current killzone in the first row as ASIAN KZ, LONDON KZ, NY AM KZ, NY LUNCH, NY PM KZ, or NO KILLZONE when outside all killzones. ◇ When outside a killzone, the second row shows a countdown to the next killzone, such as "NY AM KZ in 2h:15m." ◇ Killzones are color-coded as blue for Asian, green for London, orange for NY AM, gray for NY Lunch, and purple for NY PM. These colors can be customized in the settings TREND BIAS SYSTEM 🔹 What is Trend Bias? The Trend Bias System aggregates multiple factors across all enabled timeframes to produce a single directional bias score. Instead of analyzing each factor and timeframe separately, this system provides a weighted summary of overall market sentiment. 🔹 How the Indicator Calculates Trend Bias The calculation involves three components working together. (Screenshot: BTC Bearish Trend) ◇ Factors determine what contributes to bias. Users can enable or disable Structure (market structure bias), Order Block (direction of nearest OB), FVG (direction of nearest FVG), EMA Trend (price position relative to EMA), and Swing Position (where price sits in the swing range). Each enabled factor contributes +1 for bullish, -1 for bearish, or 0 for neutral per timeframe. ◇ Weights determine how much each timeframe matters. Each timeframe has a configurable weight from 0 to 10. Default weights are 1 for 1M and 5M, 2 for 15M, 1H, and 4H, 3 for Daily, and 4 for Weekly. Higher weights mean that timeframe contributes more to the final score. (Screenshot: Gold Bullish Trend) ◇ Score Calculation combines factors and weights. For each active timeframe, the sum of factor scores is multiplied by the timeframe's weight. The total score is the sum of all timeframe scores. The maximum possible score is the sum of each weight multiplied by the number of enabled factors. The bias percentage equals the total score divided by the maximum possible score, multiplied by 100. ◇ Bias Labels are assigned based on percentage. Over 50% shows BULLISH ↑. Between 20% and 50% shows LEAN BULL ↑. Between -20% and 20% shows NEUTRAL →. Between -50% and -20% shows LEAN BEAR ↓. Below -50% shows BEARISH ↓. The Trend Bias column displays the bias label in the first row and the raw score in the second row, such as "+22/60" meaning 22 points out of 60 possible. HTF LEVELS (PDH/L, PWH/L, PMH/L) 🔹 What are HTF Levels? Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels are significant price points from previous completed periods. These levels represent clear, objective reference points that many traders watch. ◇ PDH/PDL (Previous Day High/Low) are the high and low of the previous completed trading day and act as intraday support and resistance. ◇ PWH/PWL (Previous Week High/Low) are the high and low of the previous completed week and are significant levels for swing trading. ◇ PMH/PML (Previous Month High/Low) are the high and low of the previous completed month and are major levels for position trading. 🔹 How the Indicator Displays HTF Levels The HTF Levels Dashboard section (optional) shows a swing-style position bar for each enabled level, displaying where price sits within the previous day, week, or month range. ◇ The same liquidity sweep detection applies to HTF levels. If price sweeps PDL and reclaims, the ⤴ indicator appears. (Screenshot: Previous Week Low Swept) ◇ Visual overlays can plot HTF level lines on the chart with customizable colors and line styles. ◇ When multiple levels are close together, labels automatically combine. For example, "PDH/PWH" appears when both levels are at similar prices, or "PDL/PWL/PML" when all three lows align. (Screenshot: PWH/PMH labels combined when Previous Week Low and Previous Month Low align) VISUAL OVERLAYS Beyond the dashboard, the indicator offers optional visual overlays that plot directly on the price chart. 🔹 Order Block Zones When enabled, Order Blocks appear as semi-transparent rectangular boxes. Green boxes represent bullish Order Blocks and red boxes represent bearish Order Blocks. Boxes span from the OB candle's low to its high and extend forward based on the Extend setting. Optional labels show "OB ↑" or "OB ↓" inside the zones. 🔹 FVG Zones Fair Value Gaps appear as boxes with dashed borders to distinguish them from Order Blocks. Green dashed boxes represent bullish FVGs and red dashed boxes represent bearish FVGs. They share the same extend and label options as Order Blocks. (Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps) 🔹 Swing Labels HH, HL, LH, and LL labels can be plotted directly at each swing point on the chart. Labels appear above swing highs and below swing lows. Green labels indicate bullish structure (HH, HL) and red labels indicate bearish structure (LH, LL). The Show Last setting controls how many labels appear. 🔹 Swing Lines Horizontal lines can be drawn at the current swing high and swing low. A red line appears at the swing high and a green line at the swing low. Line styles are customizable as solid, dashed, or dotted. (Swing Labels & Swing Lines) 🔹 HTF Level Lines Horizontal lines can be plotted at Previous Day, Week, and Month highs and lows. Each level has a separate enable toggle with customizable colors and line styles. Labels auto-combine when levels are close together. 🔹 EMA Line A standard EMA line can be plotted on the chart using the same EMA Length setting as the dashboard with customizable color. DASHBOARD CUSTOMIZATION: The dashboard is highly customizable to fit different trading styles and screen setups. 🔹Dashboard Position Choose from 9 dashboard positions including top left, top center, top right, middle left, middle center, middle right, bottom left, bottom center, and bottom right. 🔹Dashboard Colors Two color themes are available. Dark Mode has dark backgrounds with light text and is the default. Light Mode has light backgrounds with dark text. 🔹Column Toggles Enable or disable individual columns in each dashboard section to show only the information needed. The Market Structure Dashboard section can toggle EMA Trend, Swing H/L, Structure, Order Block, and FVG columns. The Current Timeframe Dashboard section can toggle Volume, Swing H/L, and Volatility columns. The Market Context Dashboard section can toggle Session, Killzone, and Trend Bias columns. The HTF Levels Dashboard section can toggle PDH/L, PWH/L, and PMH/L levels. 🔹Color Settings Customize colors for trend colors (bull, bear, neutral), session colors (Asian, London, NY), and killzone colors (Asian KZ, London KZ, NY AM, Lunch, PM). 🔹Distance Display Choose how distances are shown. Percent shows values like "0.45%" and is the default. Price shows raw values like "45.50". Pips shows values like "45 pips" and is useful for forex. SETTINGS: 🔹 Timeframes Configure which timeframes are analyzed in the dashboard. Enable toggles turn each of the 7 timeframes on or off. Timeframe selection sets the specific timeframe for each slot (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D, W, M, or custom). Trend weight controls how much each timeframe contributes to the overall bias calculation (0-10), with higher values giving that timeframe more influence. 🔹 Market Structure Dashboard Controls the main multi-timeframe dashboard section. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Column toggles allow you to show or hide individual columns: EMA Trend, Swing H/L, Structure, Order Block, and FVG. Disabling columns you don't need reduces visual clutter and focuses the dashboard on the information most relevant to your trading style. 🔹 Current Timeframe Dashboard Controls the current chart timeframe section that displays volume, swing position, and volatility data. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Column toggles allow you to show or hide individual columns: Volume, Swing H/L, and Volatility. 🔹 Market Context Dashboard Controls the market context section that displays session, killzone, and trend bias information. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Column toggles allow you to show or hide individual columns: Session, Killzone, and Trend Bias. 🔹 HTF Levels Dashboard Controls the higher timeframe levels section that displays previous day, week, and month high/low data. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Level toggles allow you to show or hide individual levels: PDH/L, PWH/L, and PMH/L. 🔹 Trend Bias Settings Controls which factors contribute to the trend bias calculation. Factor toggles allow you to include or exclude Structure, Order Block, FVG, EMA Trend, and Swing H/L from the bias score. Disabling factors you don't find relevant customizes how the overall bias is determined. 🔹 Visual Overlays Controls what is plotted directly on the price chart. Order Blocks and FVGs each have an enable toggle, bull/bear colors, show last count (how many zones to display), extend bars (how far zones project forward), and labels toggle. Swing Labels have an enable toggle, bull/bear colors, and show last count. Swing Lines have an enable toggle, high/low colors, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and extend bars. HTF Level Lines for Previous Day, Week, and Month highs/lows each have an enable toggle, colors, and line style, with a shared extend setting for all HTF lines. EMA has an enable toggle and color setting. 🔹 General Settings Core indicator parameters. EMA Length sets the period for EMA calculation (default 9). Swing Length sets how many bars are required to confirm a pivot and is used for Swing Point detection, Order Block detection, and Market Structure labels (default 5). Volatility Lookback sets the period for ATR averaging (default 20). Distance Display controls how distances are shown: Percent, Price, or Pips. Dashboard Position sets where the dashboard appears on the chart (9 options). Dashboard Theme switches between Dark Mode and Light Mode. Color settings allow customization of trend colors (bull, bear, neutral), session colors (Asian, London, NY), and killzone colors (Asian KZ, London KZ, NY AM, Lunch, PM). (Full Dashboard) (Customized Display) UNIQUENESS: The Market Structure Dashboard focuses on multi-timeframe confluence by calculating and displaying the same analytical components across up to 7 timeframes simultaneously. Unlike indicators that show one timeframe at a time, each row in the dashboard represents a complete analysis of that timeframe's structure, zones, and trend state. This allows traders to observe alignment, disagreement, and transitions across timeframes within a single view. The weighted Trend Bias System combines structure, zones, EMA, and swing position into a single score that accounts for timeframe importance. Higher timeframes can be weighted more heavily, reflecting their greater significance in establishing overall market direction. The dashboard also integrates time-based context through session and killzone tracking, helping traders identify when market conditions align with historically active trading windows. All components coexist without overriding each other, providing a comprehensive framework for multi-timeframe market structure analysis.

ICT Bias Pro ICT Bias Pro: Dashboard + First Hour Range & Session FVGs This indicator is a comprehensive "Bias Builder" designed for traders who follow Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It combines a multi-timeframe trend dashboard with a specific intraday strategy derived from ICT's recent teaching: "How Do I Engage Markets When I Don't Have An Initial Bias?" The tool is designed to help traders find confluence between the Macro trend (Daily/4H) and the Micro execution (15M/5M) during the New York AM Session. Features & Methodology 1. Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard Located in the corner of your chart, this dashboard provides a quick "Traffic Light" view of the market structure across 4 key timeframes: Daily & 4-Hour: Establishes the macro direction. 15-Min & 5-Min: Monitors intraday order flow. Logic: Bias is determined by comparing price relative to the 20 EMA and checking for Market Structure alignment. Green = Bullish, Red = Bearish. 2. The "First Hour" Trading Range (No-Bias Strategy) Following ICT’s specific logic for days when bias is unclear, this tool automatically highlights the 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM (New York Time) trading range. Range High & Low: Defining the volatility of the opening hour. Equilibrium (50%): The "Line in the Sand." Price holding above the 50% signals bullish strength (Premium); price below signals bearish weakness (Discount). Quadrants (25% & 75%): Deep discount/premium zones for precision entries. 3. Session-Specific Fair Value Gaps (FVG) The indicator automatically detects and draws Fair Value Gaps that form only within that critical first hour of trading. Auto-Extension: Boxes extend to the right until price "mitigates" (fills) them. Consequent Encroachment (C.E.): Automatically plots the 50% dashed line inside every FVG, a key institutional support/resistance level. Smart Mitigation: Once a gap is filled, the box changes color (user-selectable) to indicate it is no longer an active magnet. How to Use This Indicator This tool is designed to identify Confluence: Check the Dashboard: Look for alignment on the Daily and 4H timeframes (e.g., Both Green). Wait for 10:30 AM EST: Allow the script to draw the First Hour Range. Trade the Confluence: Bullish Setup: If the Dashboard is Green, look for price to hold above the 50% Equilibrium of the First Hour Range. Look for entries inside Bullish FVGs that form near the 50% or 75% levels. Bearish Setup: If the Dashboard is Red, look for price to reject the 50% Equilibrium and stay in the lower half. Target Bearish FVGs near the 50% or 25% levels. Settings & Customization Dashboard Toggle: Show or hide the table to keep charts clean. Colors: Fully customizable colors for Range High/Low, FVGs (Bullish/Bearish), and Mitigated gaps. Text Positioning: Adjust FVG labels (Left/Center/Right) to prevent visual clutter on candles. Credits & Attribution Concept: Inner Circle Trader (Michael Huddleston). Core Strategy: Based on the video "How Do I Engage Markets When I Don't Have An Initial Bias?" Disclaimer: This tool is for educational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

PowerCandles - FVG The FVG Body Highlighter is a high-visibility tool designed to identify institutional displacement and price imbalances in real-time. By focusing strictly on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) sequence, it isolates the exact moment "Smart Money" enters the market with enough force to leave an imbalance behind. Core Functionality Mechanical Detection: Automatically scans for the 3-candle FVG sequence where the wick of Candle 1 and the wick of Candle 3 fail to meet, leaving a "gap." Body-Centric Highlighting: Unlike standard box-heavy indicators, this tool colors the entire body of the second candle (the displacement bar). This keeps your chart clean and highlights the force of the move rather than just the area. Institutional Intent: It filters out noise by only marking candles that create a true structural gap, signaling that a significant buy or sell program has been initiated. Strategic Use Trend Confirmation: Use the body highlight as a "green light" that momentum has shifted in your direction after tapping a key institutional level. Zero-Clutter Mapping: Because it highlights bars rather than drawing boxes into the future, it is perfect for traders who prefer a clean price action chart but want to catch every Fair Value Gap as it forms. Confluence Entry: An A+ setup occurs when the FVG Body Highlighter triggers as price bounces off a PDH/PDL or Midnight Open level.

Setup Finder by cryptokazancev English The indicator helps find setups based on Smart Money instruments What OB and FVG Are Order Blocks (OB) are a bullish or bearish candle (or several candles) where the next candle (or a sequence of candles) impulsively engulfs the order block. Imbalance (FVG) is a price inefficiency caused by an impulsive price move due to an abnormal dominance of supply or demand at a price level. Indicator Settings (in Simple Terms) Show OB — enable/disable displaying the detected order blocks on the chart. Show FVG — enable/disable displaying the detected FVG zones. Max OB (per side) — how many long and how many short order blocks to display at the same time. Max FVG (per side) — how many long and how many short FVG zones to display at the same time. Engulfing Window (candles) — how many subsequent candles are allowed to consider the order block “engulfed.” Color Engulfing Candles — highlight candles where the engulfing occurred to make it easier to spot on history. OB Invalidation Mode — when to consider an order block “broken” (invalid): “50%” — the OB is considered invalid if price closes with the candle body below/above the midpoint (50%) of the order block. “Entry Drill” — the OB becomes invalid on the first touch of the OB zone. Size Limits via ATR OB Size in ATR — here ATR is defined as the average candle size over the last 500 bars. It is used to determine the maximum allowed size of an order block. FVG Size in ATR — the same, but for an FVG zone: a limit on what FVG size is considered acceptable. Setup Search Mode Enable Setup Search Mode — when enabled, the indicator will not display all OB and FVG, but only those that contain: pivots, or a Sunday Open level, or both. Require Pivots / Require Sunday Open — a requirement that the OB/FVG zone must contain pivots and/or Sunday Open levels (depending on the selected option). Number of Sunday Open Levels — how many Sunday Open levels to draw on the chart. How to use Enable Setup Search Mode . Turn on the requirements Require Pivots and Require Sunday Open so that only the most relevant OB/FVG zones are displayed. Wait for price to return into the highlighted Order Block or FVG area. On a lower timeframe, look for an entry model/confirmation, such as: engulfing, pin bar, break of structure / Market Structure Shift (MSS). Repainting The indicator does not repaint. Русский Индикатор помогает находить сетапы по торговой стратегии Павла Казанцева. Что такое OB и FVG Ордерблоки (OB) — это бычья или медвежья свеча (или несколько свеч), при этом следующая свеча (или связка свеч) импульсно поглощает ордерблок. Имбаланс (FVG) — это ценовая неэффективность, вызванная импульсным движением цены вследствие аномального превосходства спроса/предложения на ценовом уровне. Настройки индикатора (простыми словами) Показывать OB — включить/выключить отображение найденных ордерблоков на графике. Показывать FVG — включить/выключить отображение найденных зон FVG. Максимум OB (на сторону) — сколько лонговых и сколько шортовых ордерблоков показывать одновременно. Максимум FVG (на сторону) — сколько лонговых и сколько шортовых зон FVG показывать одновременно. Окно поглощения (свечей) — сколько следующих свечей допускается, чтобы считать, что ордерблок был “поглощён”. Окрашивать поглощённые свечи — подсвечивать свечи, где произошло поглощение, чтобы проще было искать это на истории. Режим инвалидации OB — когда считать ордерблок “сломавшимся” (недействительным): “50%” — OB считается недействительным, если цена закрепилась телом свечи ниже/выше середины (50%) ордерблока. “Entry Drill” — OB становится недействительным при первом касании зоны OB. Ограничение размеров через ATR Размер OB в ATR — ATR здесь понимается как средний размер свечей за последние 500 баров. От него считается, какой максимальный размер ордерблока допустим. Размер FVG в ATR — то же самое, но для зоны FVG: ограничение, какой размер FVG считается допустимым. Режим поиска сетапов Включить режим поиска сетапов — если включить, индикатор будет показывать не все OB и FVG, а только те, внутри которых есть: пивоты, или уровень Sunday Open, или и то, и другое. Обязательно Пивоты / Обязательно Sunday Open — требование, чтобы в зоне OB/FVG обязательно были пивоты и/или уровни Sunday Open (в зависимости от выбранной опции). Количество уровней Sunday Open — сколько уровней Sunday Open рисовать на графике. Как пользоваться Включите режим поиска сетапов . Активируйте требования Обязательно Пивоты и Обязательно Sunday Open , чтобы отображались только наиболее релевантные зоны OB/FVG. Дождитесь, когда цена вернётся в отмеченный диапазон ордерблока или FVG . На младшем таймфрейме найдите модель входа/подтверждение, например: поглощение, пинбар, слом структуры / Market Structure Shift (MSS). Перерисовка Индикатор ничего не перерисовывает.

Institutional Confluence Nexus [Pro]The Problem: Noise vs. Signal In the world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), traders are often overwhelmed by "chart clutter." Standard indicators blindly highlight every Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB), regardless of whether the market is trending, ranging, or dead. This leads to analysis paralysis and low-probability entries. The Institutional Confluence Nexus was built to solve this. It is not just a structure detector; it is a filtering engine. It uses a multi-factor model to hide low-probability zones and only highlight setups where Structure, Volume, and Momentum align. The "Quantum" Integration This script includes a built-in Quantum Regression Oscillator (QRO) engine running in the background. Unlike standard RSI or MACD which are reactive (lagging), the QRO uses Linear Regression mathematics to project momentum trajectory. By combining institutional structure (Price Action) with quantum momentum (Math), this tool generates specific high-probability signals that only appear when price action and momentum are in perfect agreement. How It Works & Visual Guide This indicator is a complete trading suite. Here is what every symbol and color on your chart represents: 1. The "Nexus" Reversal Signals (Triangles) Symbol : Green Triangle (Up) / Red Triangle (Down) labeled NEXUS. Logic : These appear when price taps a valid Order Block that aligns with the macro trend (200 EMA). Meaning : These are your primary "Trend Join" setups. They indicate that the institutional trend is resuming after a retracement. 2. High-Volume Breakouts (Bar Colors) Symbol : Yellow Candles (Bullish) / Orange Candles (Bearish). Logic : The script detects when a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs with Above-Average Volume. Meaning : A breakout without volume is often a fakeout. These colored bars confirm that institutions are fueling the move. If you see a Yellow bar, it means "Smart Money" is buying the breakout. 3. QRO Confluence Signals (Labels) These are the most advanced signals in the suite, combining Price Action with the internal Oscillator: SNIPER (Blue/Purple) : The strongest reversal signal. Condition : Price taps a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO is at extreme volatility bands (Oversold/Overbought). PB BUY / PB SELL (Aqua/Orange) : A trend continuation signal. Condition : Price pulls back into a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO confirms momentum is still healthy (above/below midline). Note : These signals automatically draw a Red Line at the invalidation point (Stop Loss) to help you manage risk immediately. 4. The Confluence Dashboard A non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the corner gives you a snapshot of the market state: Trend : Is price above/below the 200 EMA? Volume : Is current volume anomalous (High) or normal? Structure : Are we breaking up, down, or ranging? Settings & Customization Smart Money Structure: Toggle FVGs and Order Blocks on/off. FVG Extend: Control how far the gap "zones" extend to the right to see them as support/resistance zones. Volume Filter: Enable/Disable the volume requirement (Keep enabled for higher strike rate). Risk Management: Adjust the "Lookback" period for the automatic Stop Loss lines. For Developers (Open Source) I have kept the code open-source to foster learning in the Pine Script community. You can study how: ta.linreg is used to smooth RSI data for the internal QRO engine. box.new and line.new are used for dynamic drawing and extending zones. var variables are used to store historical FVG levels to detect precise crossovers. Disclaimer: This tool is designed to assist with technical analysis and educational purposes. It does not guarantee profits. Always manage your risk and use this in conjunction with your own analysis.

ICT Algo: Sweep + MSS + High Prob FVG/IFVG This script is a comprehensive execution tool based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically designed to identify high-probability entries by combining Liquidity Sweeps, Market Structure Shifts (MSS), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG/IFVG). Unlike standard FVG indicators that highlight every gap on the chart, this "Algo" version filters for gaps that occur specifically after a liquidity purge and a shift in structure, ensuring you are only looking at setups with institutional backing. How It Works The script follows a strict 3-step validation process before plotting a signal: Liquidity Sweep (The Context): The script tracks Higher Timeframe (HTF) levels including Previous Day High/Low, Weekly High/Low, and Monthly High/Low. A setup is only considered valid if price has recently "swept" one of these levels, indicating a hunt for liquidity. Market Structure Shift (The Confirmation): Once a sweep occurs, the script looks for a displacement in the opposite direction. It identifies a "Pivot High/Low" (customizable length) and waits for a candle body to close beyond it (MSS). Filtered Entry (The Trigger): * FVG: Plots a standard Fair Value Gap if it forms within a "Deep Value" zone (Discount for longs, Premium for shorts). IFVG (Inversion FVG): Highlights failed FVGs that have been reclaimed by price to act as support or resistance. Key Features Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Filters: Automatically plots PDH/L, PWH/L, PMH/L, and PYH/L. You can toggle which levels act as your sweep triggers. Deep Value Logic: The script uses built-in logic to ensure Bullish FVGs are only highlighted when price is below a key liquidity level (Discount), and Bearish FVGs when price is above (Premium). Dynamic Box Management: To keep your chart clean, boxes for FVGs and IFVGs are automatically shortened ("cut") once they are mitigated by price. Inversion Logic: Includes a specialized toggle for Inversion Fair Value Gaps, allowing you to trade "failed" gaps that flip their polarity. Settings & Customization Entry Setup Bias: Choose to see only Bullish, only Bearish, or Both setups. MSS Pivot Length: Adjust how "sensitive" the Market Structure Shift detection is. A higher number requires a more significant swing to be broken. Sweep Lookback: Defines how many bars back the script looks for a liquidity sweep to remain "active" for a setup. Include Opens: Optional toggle to include Previous Day/Week/Month Opens as liquidity points. Usage Tips The Golden Setup: Look for a sweep of a Previous Day High, followed by a Bearish MSS, and an entry at the Red FVG box. Risk Management: This indicator is designed for entry identification. Always use stop losses (usually placed above/below the candle that created the FVG or the MSS swing point). Timeframes: Best used on execution timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) while the script handles the HTF levels automatically. Disclaimer: This script is an educational tool and does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Past performance of a strategy does not guarantee future results. Credits: Concepts based on the teachings of Michael J. Huddleston (ICT).

eBacktesting - Learning: PD Arrays eBacktesting - Learning: PD Arrays helps you practice one of the most important “Smart Money” ideas: price tends to react from specific delivery areas (PD Arrays) like Imbalances (FVGs), Order Blocks, and Breakers. Use this to train your eyes to: - Spot where an imbalance/OB is created (often after displacement) - Wait for price to return into that area - Study the reaction (hold, reject, or slice through) and what that implies next These indicators are built to pair perfectly with the eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance. Educational use only. Not financial advice.

Range Indicator Golden Pocket, Liquidity, FairValueGap Overview This indicator is a comprehensive institutional market structure toolkit. It is designed to identify high-probability reversal zones by merging three powerful technical analysis concepts: Fibonacci Golden Pockets (61.8% - 65%), Liquidity Pool Analysis (Swing Failure Patterns), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG). By automating the detection of price inefficiencies and "stop runs," it helps traders navigate complex price action with objective, rule-based confirmation. What the Script Does The script continuously monitors a user-defined lookback period to define a trading range. Within this range, it dynamically plots: Golden Pockets: High-confluence retracement zones (calculated as 0.35 - 0.382 internal range levels). Liquidity Zones: Highlighted regions at the absolute high and low (Top/Bottom 5%) where institutional orders and retail stops are typically concentrated. Swing Failure Patterns (SFP): Real-time detection of liquidity grabs where price breaches a range extreme but fails to close outside, signaling a potential trap. Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Visualizes 3-candle price imbalances, showing areas of aggressive buying or selling that often act as future magnets or support/resistance. 2-Candle Confirmation: A momentum-based filter requiring a candle-close confirmation before a reversal signal is generated. For Whom is it? Smart Money Concepts (SMC) & ICT Students: Traders looking for automated liquidity sweeps and market inefficiencies. Fibonacci & Mean Reversion Traders: Those seeking a clean, professional visualization of the Golden Pocket across multiple timeframes. Systematic Day Traders: Who require strict price-action confirmation (SFP and 2-candle rules) to remove emotional bias from their entries. Functions and Input Options 1. Market Structure & Visuals Lookback Period (Default: 100): Defines the window for calculating the range extremes. Box Offset Right (Default: 50): Extends all zones into the future for better anticipatory trading. Show Price Lines & Labels: Displays the exact price for every zone boundary on the right axis for precise execution. 2. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Settings Show Fair Value Gaps: A toggle to enable/disable the plotting of price imbalances. FVG Extension (Default: 10): Determines how many bars into the future the FVG box remains visible. Custom Colors: Separate color inputs for Bullish (Gap Up) and Bearish (Gap Down) inefficiencies. 3. Professional Alert System The script includes five specific alert conditions: GP Touch: Early warning when price enters a Golden Pocket. 2-Candle Pattern: Confirmed momentum shift within a Golden Pocket. SFP Long/Short: Alerts when a Liquidity Grab (Swing Failure) is confirmed at the range high or low. Transparency and Compliance (Moderator Info) Non-Repainting Logic: All signals (SFP, 2-Candle, and FVG) are calculated and triggered based on confirmed candle closes. Drawings use barstate.islast purely for visual efficiency without altering historical data integrity. Educational Context: The script visualizes well-known market principles (Fibonacci, SFPs, and FVGs) to aid traders in their analysis; it does not provide automated financial advice or "black-box" buy/sell signals. Resource Management: Optimized for Pine Script v5, using efficient array and box handling to ensure smooth performance even on lower timeframes.

NeuraEdge ORB - Opening Range Breakout Indicator OVERVIEW NeuraEdge ORB is an open-source Opening Range Breakout indicator that automates the classic 15-minute ORB strategy. The indicator tracks the first 15 minutes of market action (9:30-9:45 AM ET), identifies breakouts above or below this range, and generates trading signals with automated stop loss and take profit calculations. The Opening Range Breakout concept is based on the observation that the initial price action after market open often establishes directional bias for the trading session, as institutional order flow and overnight gap reactions manifest during this window. CORE METHODOLOGY Opening Range Construction: The indicator uses session-based time detection to identify the 9:30-9:45 AM Eastern Time window. During this period, it tracks the highest high and lowest low to establish the opening range boundaries. The range is marked complete when the 15-minute window closes. Calculation process: OR High = Maximum high value during the 15-minute window OR Low = Minimum low value during the 15-minute window OR Midpoint = (OR High + OR Low) / 2 Range Size = OR High - OR Low (compared to 14-period ATR for context) Breakout Detection: The indicator identifies breakouts using close-price confirmation to reduce false signals from wicks: Bullish breakout: Close above OR High (with previous close at or below OR High) Bearish breakout: Close below OR Low (with previous close at or above OR Low) The indicator tracks whether each direction has already broken to prevent duplicate signals on the same range. Entry Type Logic: Two entry methodologies are supported: Breakout Mode - Signals immediately upon range break. Enters on the breakout bar when close confirms direction. Retest Mode - Waits for price to break the range, then pullback to touch the range level before entering. Cancels if price moves too far beyond midpoint. This provides better entry prices with tighter stop losses. Volume Confirmation: Optional volume filter compares current bar volume to 20-period simple moving average. Requires volume > 1.2x average to validate breakout strength and filter low-conviction moves. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Integration: Optional confluence filter that checks for unfilled FVG in the breakout direction: Bullish FVG detected when: current bar's low > two bars ago high (creating gap) Bearish FVG detected when: current bar's high < two bars ago low (creating gap) Minimum FVG size: 0.3x ATR to filter noise FVG considered filled when price retraces to gap midpoint Signals only generate when an unfilled FVG exists in the breakout direction, adding institutional order flow confluence. Risk Management Calculations: Three stop loss placement methods: Opposite Side - SL at opposite end of opening range (classic ORB approach) Midpoint - SL at range midpoint (tighter risk, lower reward potential) ATR Based - SL at 1.5x ATR from entry (adaptive to volatility) Take profit calculated as: Entry ± (Entry - Stop Loss) × Risk:Reward Ratio Default 1.5:1 R:R ratio, adjustable from 1.0 to 5.0. Performance Tracking: The indicator maintains a trade history using Pine Script's type system: Records entry price, stop loss, take profit, and direction for each signal Tracks outcome when price hits stop loss or take profit levels Auto-closes after 80 bars if neither level hit Calculates rolling win rate from last 50 trades maximum Displays W/L record in real-time dashboard VISUAL COMPONENTS Opening Range Box: Semi-transparent blue box drawn from range start bar to current bar + 20, showing the established range boundaries visually. Range Levels: Green line at OR High (potential long entry level) Red line at OR Low (potential short entry level) Gray dotted line at OR Midpoint (reference level) All lines extend 50 bars forward for anticipation. Trade Signals: Green up arrow with "LONG ORB Break" label below price Red down arrow with "SHORT ORB Break" label above price Dashed lines showing SL and TP levels extending 30 bars Small labels marking SL and TP endpoints Real-Time Dashboard: Top-right panel displaying: OR formation status (Forming / Complete / Waiting) Current OR High, Low, and Range size (with ATR multiple) Breakout status (Long / Short / None) Volume status (High / Normal) FVG presence (Bull / Bear / None) Entry settings (Breakout/Retest, R:R, SL type) Win rate percentage and W/L record PRACTICAL APPLICATION Ideal Market Conditions: Liquid instruments: SPY, QQQ, IWM, high-volume stocks Recommended timeframes: 1-minute or 5-minute charts for precise entries Most effective during trending days with clear directional bias Range size between 0.5-1.5x ATR typically provides best risk:reward Usage Workflow: Apply indicator at market open (9:30 AM ET) Observe range formation during first 15 minutes Wait for "Complete" status in dashboard Monitor for breakout signals with volume/FVG confirmation Enter on signal, place stop loss and take profit as marked Avoid taking opposing signals on same day (trend following approach) Retest vs Breakout Selection: Use Breakout mode on high-momentum days with strong overnight gaps Use Retest mode on slower days or when seeking better entry prices Retest mode reduces signal frequency but improves entry quality Time-of-Day Considerations: The indicator includes a trading cutoff setting (default 3:00 PM ET) to avoid late-day chop and reduced liquidity. First-hour breakouts (10:00-11:00 AM) historically show strongest follow-through. SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION Display Options: Toggle signals, opening range box, and dashboard independently Clean visual design to reduce chart clutter Opening Range Settings: Opening range duration (5-60 minutes in 5-minute increments) Default 15 minutes aligns with classic ORB methodology Trading cutoff hour (10-16, representing 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM ET) Entry Configuration: Entry type (Breakout / Retest) Volume confirmation toggle (requires 1.2x average volume) FVG confluence toggle (requires unfilled gap in breakout direction) Risk Management: Stop loss placement (Opposite Side / Midpoint / ATR Based) Risk:reward ratio (1.0 - 5.0, default 1.5) Future: Trail stop after partial TP (currently placeholder) Alert System: Five alert conditions available: Opening Range Complete ORB Long Signal ORB Short Signal Breakout Up (range broken, regardless of signal) Breakout Down (range broken, regardless of signal) BEST PRACTICES Recommended Usage: Focus on highly liquid instruments with tight spreads Use 1-5 minute charts for entry precision Respect calculated stop losses (range defines maximum risk) Typically 1-2 quality setups per day maximum Consider overall market trend (SPY/QQQ direction) Risk Considerations: Very small ranges (< 0.3x ATR) prone to false breakouts Very large ranges (> 2x ATR) may indicate gap day requiring adjusted expectations Low volume breakouts fail more frequently Avoid trading both directions on same day (pick strongest setup) IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES This indicator is provided free and open-source for educational purposes. The Opening Range Breakout strategy is a well-documented public domain trading concept. This implementation adds automation, visual clarity, and optional confluence filters. No indicator guarantees profitable trades. Past performance does not predict future results. Traders are responsible for their own trading decisions and risk management. Always use appropriate position sizing and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

ICT Entry V2 [TS_Indie]📌 Description – ICT Entry V2 The market structure, liquidity, FVG, and iFVG mechanisms remain the same as in Version 1. However, the price action for order entries is different, with the positions of the FVG and iFVG swapped. Pending orders and stop loss are placed at the iFVG. ⚙️ Core Logic & Working Mechanism I won’t explain FVG in detail, as most traders are already familiar with it. Let’s focus on the mechanism of iFVG instead. The concept of iFVG is based on a supply-to-demand flip and a demand-to-supply flip within an FVG zone. For an iFVG to be confirmed, the candle close must break through the FVG. A wick alone does not count as a valid iFVG confirmation. The confirmation of market structure swings uses a pivot length mechanism combined with price action. It validates a swing by detecting a structure break formed by candles making new highs or new lows. 📈 Buy Setup 1.Liquidity sweep on the demand side, with price closing above the liquidity level. 2.A demand zone is formed as iFVG and FVG, where FVG is located above iFVG. 3.The gap between the upper box of iFVG and the lower box of FVG must be within the defined Min and Max range. 4.Market Structure must be in a Bullish trend. 5.Place a Pending Order at the upper box of iFVG and set Stop Loss at the lower box of iFVG (Entry and Stop Loss can be adjusted using Entry Zone and ATR-based Stop Loss). 📉 Sell Setup 1.Liquidity sweep on the supply side, with price closing below the liquidity level. 2.A supply zone is formed as iFVG and FVG, where FVG is located below iFVG. 3.The gap between the lower box of iFVG and the upper box of FVG must be within the defined Min and Max range. 4.Market Structure must be in a Bearish trend. 5.Place a Pending Order at the lower box of iFVG and set Stop Loss at the upper box of iFVG (Entry and Stop Loss can be adjusted using Entry Zone and ATR-based Stop Loss). ⚙️ Liquidity Sweep Conditions ➯ When a liquidity sweep occurs on the demand side, the system will start looking for Buy Setup conditions. ➯ When a liquidity sweep occurs on the supply side, the system will immediately switch to looking for Sell Setup conditions. ➯ The system will always prioritize the most recent liquidity sweep and search for setups based on that direction. ➯ The liquidity sweep condition will be invalidated when price closes back below (for demand sweep) or above (for supply sweep) the most recently swept liquidity level. ⭐ Pending Order Cancellation Conditions A Pending Order will be canceled under the following conditions: 1.A new Price Action signal appears on either the Buy or Sell side. 2.When Time Session is enabled, the Pending Order is canceled once price exits the selected session. 🕹 Order Management Rule When there is an active open position, the indicator restricts the creation of new Pending Orders to prevent overlapping positions. ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator is designed for educational and research purposes only. It does not guarantee profits and should not be considered financial advice. Trading in financial markets involves significant risk, including the potential loss of capital. 🥂 Community Sharing If you find parameter settings that work well or produce strong statistical results, feel free to share them with the community so we can improve and develop this indicator together.

eBacktesting - Learning: FVG eBacktesting - Learning: FVG is an indicator in the eBacktesting Learning series: a collection of tools designed to help new traders understand the most important concepts in trading through clear, visual examples directly on the chart. This indicator highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): areas where price moved so quickly that it left behind an imbalance. These zones often act like "magnets" for future price action and can become important areas to watch for reactions, continuations, or reversals. To keep the chart clean and the learning process practical, FVGs are only displayed when they remain relevant, meaning they are not instantly cleared by the very next candle. This helps beginners focus on the imbalances that actually persist and are more likely to matter. Each FVG is drawn as a zone with a midpoint line and will visually update as price interacts with it: Touched when price trades into the zone Filled when price completely clears the zone These indicators are built to pair perfectly with eBacktesting extension, where traders can practice these concepts step-by-step. Backtesting concepts visually like this is one of the fastest ways to learn, build confidence, and improve trading performance. Educational use only. Not financial advice.

Apex ICT Delivery & Session Flow Pro Description The Apex ICT Delivery & Session Flow Pro is a high-precision technical analysis indicator designed for inner-circle traders who prioritize a clean, institutional-grade chart. This script specializes in identifying real-time liquidity levels and displacement zones while utilizing an automated "Cleanup Engine" to ensure that only the most relevant, unmitigated data remains visible. Core Functionalities Multi-Timeframe Displacement Engine: The script scans across multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1H) to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created by high-displacement price action. It automatically plots the FVG boxes and the 50% Consequent Encroachment (CE) line for precise entry and target mapping. Dynamic Session Liquidity: Automatically identifies and tracks the Highs and Lows of the Asia, London, and New York sessions. These levels are explicitly labeled and extended to act as magnet levels for price or points of liquidity reversal. CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Visualizes shifts in order flow by marking the opening prices of the last opposite candle when price action confirms a change in delivery state. This provides immediate visual feedback on market sentiment shifts. NY-Specific VWAP: Features a strict New York Session VWAP that resets daily at the NY open (08:00). This serves as the "Mean" for the session, helping traders identify premium and discount zones specifically within the high-volume New York hours. The "Clean Chart" Cleanup Engine: Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen with historical data, this script features an intelligent removal system: FVGs & Order Blocks: Automatically deleted once price trades through them or if they move too far from current price (Proximity Filter). Broken Session Levels: Highs and Lows are instantly removed once they are breached by price. Temporal Decay: CISD markers are automatically cleared after 20 candles to keep the focus on immediate delivery.
