CandelaCharts - MTF FVG Alignment📝 Overview
The CandelaCharts - MTF FVG Alignment indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across up to four customizable timeframes and visualises them directly on the chart. A Fair Value Gap is a three-candle pattern where price moved so rapidly that an unfilled area remains between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle, representing a price imbalance the market often returns to fill.
The core strength of this indicator is Confluence . An alignment signal is generated only when every enabled timeframe shows FVGs in the same direction (all Bullish or all Bearish), giving traders a powerful multi-timeframe confirmation before taking a position.
📦 Features
Four-Timeframe Analysis : Track up to four independent timeframes simultaneously with per-TF toggle and FVG count.
Confluence Alignment : Automatic detection of Bullish or Bearish alignment across all enabled timeframes.
Bias Filter : Filter displayed FVGs to show only Bullish, only Bearish, or both (Neutral).
FVG Mitigation : FVGs are automatically invalidated and removed from the chart once they are fully filled by price action.
Hide Overlapped : Clean up chart clutter by automatically hiding lower-timeframe or older FVGs that overlap with others.
Fibonacci Levels : Optional Fibonacci retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.65, 0.705, 0.786) drawn inside each FVG with a highlighted Golden Pocket zone (0.705–0.786).
FVG Visuals : Semi-transparent boxes showing active FVGs for each timeframe, with configurable borders and midlines.
Status Dashboard : A clean table showing the current directional status (Bullish / Bearish / None) for each enabled timeframe.
⚙️ Settings
Timeframes
TF 1–4: Each timeframe row has a toggle (show/hide), a timeframe selector, and an FVG count (1–10) controlling how many recent FVGs are displayed for that timeframe. Defaults are 1D, 4H, 1H, and 15m.
Settings
Bias Filter: Filter displayed FVGs by direction — Neutral (show all), Bullish (show only bullish FVGs), or Bearish (show only bearish FVGs).

🔎 Usage
Trend Identification : Glance at the dashboard to see the current bias of each higher timeframe at a glance.
Confluence : When all enabled timeframes align in the same direction, it provides strong multi-timeframe confluence for a directional trade.
Fibonacci Entries : Use the Fibonacci levels inside each FVG — particularly the Golden Pocket (0.705–0.786) — for precise entries when price retraces into the gap.
Bias Filtering : Set the Bias Filter to Bullish or Bearish to remove counter-trend FVGs and keep the chart focused on your directional thesis.
Execution : Use the alignment as confirmation for your existing strategy. Bullish alignment suggests upward momentum; Bearish alignment suggests downward momentum.

AMT Multi-Ticker Imbalance Dashboard [AMT] + Strength/Age ScoreAMT Multi-Ticker Imbalance Dashboard + Strength/Age Score
The AMT Multi-Ticker Imbalance Dashboard is a multi-asset volume imbalance scanner designed to detect, rank, and compare stacked buying or selling pressure across up to six symbols — all from a single chart.
This tool does not rely on simple candle direction or trend signals. Instead, it builds a structured micro-profile of price and volume distribution over a rolling lookback window, then identifies stacked volume dominance inside price bins. The result is a real-time dashboard that highlights where aggressive participation is building — and how strong and fresh that imbalance is.
What This Script Does
This script:
• Scans up to 6 user-defined tickers simultaneously
• Builds a rolling price-volume profile over a configurable lookback
• Detects stacked buy or sell imbalances inside price bins
• Measures imbalance strength (stack size)
• Tracks imbalance age (how recent it triggered)
• Calculates a weighted strength score
• Displays everything in a color-graded dashboard
It functions as a cross-market orderflow pressure monitor, helping traders identify where initiative activity is expanding across correlated or leading assets.
The Core Concept: Stacked Volume Imbalances
Instead of evaluating the whole bar as bullish or bearish, the script:
Takes the last Profile Lookback bars.
Finds the highest high and lowest low.
Divides that range into Profile Resolution bins (price slices).
Inside each bin, it calculates:
Total buy volume (close > open)
Total sell volume (open > close)
It then measures dominance:
Buy imbalance = Buy volume ≥ threshold % of total volume
Sell imbalance = Sell volume ≥ threshold % of total volume
If multiple consecutive bins meet that dominance threshold, they form a stack.
Stack size represents how many adjacent price zones show aggressive one-sided participation.
Why Stacked Imbalances Matter
Single imbalances can be noise.
Stacked imbalances suggest:
• Aggressive initiative activity
• Strong directional conviction
• Potential continuation pressure
• Possible structural repricing
The script only signals when the stack size meets or exceeds the Stack Size Trigger, filtering weak participation.
Dashboard Columns Explained
1️⃣ Ticker
The symbol being scanned.
2️⃣ Stack
Displays:
“X BUY” → number of consecutive buy imbalance bins
“X SELL” → number of consecutive sell imbalance bins
“—” → no qualifying imbalance
3️⃣ Bias
Directional interpretation:
Bullish Imbalance
Bearish Imbalance
Neutral
4️⃣ Score (Strength + Recency Weighted)
The score combines:
Stack Size × Age Weight
Age weighting logic:
New signal (age = 0 bars): 1.5x multiplier
1–3 bars old: 1.0x multiplier
Older than 3 bars: 0.5x multiplier
This means:
• Fresh imbalances rank higher
• Older signals decay in importance
• Strong and new stacks visually dominate
Color Logic
Color intensity reflects both direction and weighted strength:
Bullish
Bright Green → Strong + Fresh
Medium Green → Moderate
Dim Green → Weak or Aging
Bearish
Bright Red → Strong + Fresh
Medium Red → Moderate
Dim Red → Weak or Aging
Neutral = Gray
This allows instant visual ranking across assets.
Inputs Explained
Profile Lookback
Number of bars used to build the rolling profile.
Smaller values:
• Faster responsiveness
• More reactive
Larger values:
• Smoother structure
• More institutional footprint detection
Profile Resolution
Number of bins dividing the price range.
Higher resolution:
• More granular imbalance detection
• More sensitive stacking
Lower resolution:
• Broader structural imbalance zones
Bin Imbalance Threshold
Minimum % dominance required to qualify.
Default: 0.75 (75%)
Higher:
• Stronger conviction required
• Fewer but more aggressive signals
Lower:
• More frequent but softer signals
Stack Size Trigger
Minimum consecutive imbalance bins required.
This filters weak activity and prevents single-bin noise.

How This Script Is Original
This is not:
• A delta oscillator
• A cumulative volume line
• A simple up/down volume ratio
• A standard volume profile
It uniquely combines:
Rolling dynamic profile construction
Per-bin dominance calculation
Consecutive imbalance stacking
Multi-ticker cross-asset scanning
Age-weighted strength scoring
Visual ranking dashboard
Most imbalance tools operate on a single chart and focus on visual zones.
This script transforms imbalance logic into a comparative, cross-market decision tool.
How Traders Can Use It:
Market Leadership Detection
Identify which asset is currently driving momentum.
Example:
If IWM shows a fresh 5 BUY stack while SPX shows neutral → small caps may be leading risk appetite.
Confirmation Tool
Use imbalance confirmation before entering:
• Breakouts
• Acceptance above value
• Fair value gap continuation
• Sequence continuation setups
Rotation Monitoring
Watch for:
• Bullish stacks turning neutral
• Bearish stacks emerging in correlated assets
• Leadership shifting across sectors
Timing Advantage
Fresh stacks (bright colors + high score) highlight where initiative flow is most recent — often before broader price expansion.
Important Notes
• Signals are calculated on the chart’s current timeframe.
• Higher timeframes detect structural imbalance.
• Lower timeframes detect short-term aggression.
• This is a participation pressure scanner — not a standalone entry trigger.
• Always confirm with structure, liquidity, and context.
Summary
The AMT Multi-Ticker Imbalance Dashboard transforms raw volume into structured imbalance intelligence.
It tells you:
• Who is dominant (buyers or sellers)
• How strong that dominance is
• How fresh it is
• Which asset is leading
I
nstead of watching one chart, you monitor relative aggressive participation across six markets — in real time — with objective scoring and visual ranking.
This allows traders to align with the strongest active pressure, avoid fading initiative flow, and improve timing precision through imbalance awareness. Indicator

Smart Gap Concepts [MarkitTick]💡 This indicator automates the identification and classification of price gaps, commonly known as Fair Value Gaps (FVG) or Imbalances, by integrating market structure and volume analysis. Unlike standard gap detectors that simply highlight empty space on a chart, this script applies algorithmic filters to categorize gaps into three distinct phases of market movement: Breakaway, Runaway, and Exhaustion. This helps traders understand the potential context of a move rather than just seeing a support or resistance zone.
● Originality and Utility
The primary innovation of this tool is its dynamic classification system. It moves beyond visual detection by checking the "why" behind the gap. By referencing Swing Highs and Swing Lows (Market Structure) alongside Volume efficiency, it determines if a gap represents a breakout, a trend continuation, or a climatic end to a move. Additionally, the script features an automated mitigation tracking system that removes gaps from the chart once price has re-tested the midpoint, ensuring the visual workspace remains clean and relevant to current price action.
● Methodology
The script operates on a multi-stage logic engine:
• Gap Detection
It first identifies the core imbalance where the Low of the current bar does not overlap with the High of the bar two periods prior (for bullish gaps), ensuring the intervening candle represents a strong displacement.
• Structural Analysis (Breakaway Gaps)
The script monitors Pivot Highs and Lows. If a gap occurs simultaneously with a close beyond a key structural Pivot, it is classified as a "Breakaway Gap." This signals the potential start of a new trend.
• Volume and Time Analysis (Exhaustion Gaps)
To identify potential reversals, the script looks for "Trend Maturity." If a gap forms after a long duration since the last pivot and is accompanied by a volume spike (defined by the Volume Spike Multiplier), it is labeled as an "Exhaustion Gap."
• Continuation (Runaway Gaps)
If a gap is valid but meets neither the Breakaway nor Exhaustion criteria, it is considered a "Runaway Gap," typically found in the middle of an established trend.
• Dynamic Cleanup
The script tracks the midpoint of every active gap. If price creates a lower low (for bullish gaps) or higher high (for bearish gaps) beyond this midpoint, the gap is considered mitigated and is removed from the screen.
📖 How to Use
Traders can utilize the color-coded classifications to gauge market intent:
Breakaway (Default Blue): Watch these zones for potential trend initiations. These are often high-probability areas for a retest entry after a structure break.
Runaway (Default Orange): These indicate strong momentum. They can be used to trail stop-losses or add to winning positions, as price should ideally not close below these gaps in a healthy trend.
Exhaustion (Default Red): Be cautious when these appear. They suggest the current move is overextended and a reversal or complex pullback may be imminent.
• Exhaustion Gap : A Practical Case Study
• Breakaway Gap: A Practical Case Study
• Runaway Gap : A Practical Case Study
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
Min Gap Size (Points): Filters out insignificant gaps smaller than this threshold.
Structure Lookback: Defines the sensitivity of the Pivot detection (Swing High/Low).
Volume Avg Length & Multiplier: Determines what qualifies as a "Volume Spike" for exhaustion logic.
Trend Maturity: The minimum number of bars required to consider a trend "old" enough for an exhaustion signal.
Visual Settings: Custom colors for each gap type and box extension length.

🔵 - How was the indicator designed? -
I have spent a lot of time testing other open source indicators from the community. All of these indicators do a great job, but they have a problem, they not only mitigate FVGs when a candle closes above or below the FVG, they also mitigate FVGs when the candle closes exactly to the tick (not above or below the FVG). This is a problem for many strategies that rely on FVGs mitigation.
What makes this indicator different is that it focuses on just mitigating imbalances at the right time for these strategies.
I have taken ideas and some pieces of code from many community indicator developers, such as:
@twingall
@tflab
@marktools
@nacho-fx
@pmk07
... and many other people, to whom I thank for their valuable work and have allowed me to create this tool by making modifications to their source code.

Volume Gaps and ImbalancesThis Pine script indicator is designed to visually depict price inefficiencies, as identified by Volume Imbalances (VI) or Gaps. A Volume Gap is a scenario where the wicks of two successive candles don’t intersect, while an Imbalance occurs when only the wicks overlap, leaving the bodies apart. These zones of inefficiency frequently act as magnets for price, with the market striving rebalance in accordance with ICT principles.
Relevance:
Volume Gaps/Imbalances are zones of highly inefficient price delivery as per ICT concepts and represent a very strong draw to price. Price will often seek to rebalance those zones to ensure efficient price delivery. Consequently, these zones can provide good targets for entries in the opposite direction or take profit targets for previous entries in the direction of the Gap/Imbalance.
How It Works:
The indicator keeps track of all Gaps/Imbalances from the beginning of the available history. It automatically removes all mitigated Gaps/Imbalances, which are situations where the price has at least reached the bottom of a bullish gap or the top of a bearish gap.
On the last bar, the most recent valid gaps are highlighted with a box drawn from the start to the end of the gap. The start of a bullish gap is determined by the highest price of the previous candle’s open or close, while for bearish gaps, it’s the lowest price of the previous candle’s open or close. Conversely, the end of a bullish gap is the lowest price of the current candle’s open or close, and for bearish gaps, it’s the highest price of the current candle’s open or close.
To enhance the indicator’s speed and minimize chart noise, only the most recent gaps will be displayed, up to the limit set in the indicator settings.
Each displayed VI/GAP will indicate the size of the imbalance in ticks. For imbalances greater than 3 ticks, which represent stronger draws of liquidity, the color transparency will be reduced, and the text will be made more prominent. Volume Gaps are also marked with a 🧲 emoji for easy visual identification.
The indicator will automatically extend the boxes representing valid imbalances to the current bar for as long as the imbalance is not mitigated.
If an imbalance has been tapped, but not mitigated, the indicator will append 🚩emoji to denote that the imbalance has been partially mitigated and may no longer have as strong of a draw for price.
Configurability:
A user may configure the number of imbalances to show, the setting applies to bullish/bearish imbalances individually. This setting can be set to any value from 1 – 50.
Appearance wise, color, style and color transparency of each box representing an imbalance can be configured. The imbalance box label can be configured by setting the text size, along with the vertical & horizontal alignment.
What makes this indicator different:
Designed with high performance in mind, to reduce impact on chart render time.
Only keeps valid imbalances on the chart, with a limit on the # drawn
Indicates the size of the gap and provides visual markets to denote stronger, weaker and partially mitigated gaps

Liquidity Hunter - FattyTradesThis indicator is used to automatically identify and plot two forms of liquidity that will be targeted by market makers.
The first form of liquidity is based on multi-time fame highs and lows. It plots 1H, 4H, D, W, & M liquidity on an intraday chart to make it easier to identify. I believe hat liquidity is what drives the market and the most common form of this liquidity can be identified through higher time frame highs and lows. You can use whatever method you prefer to determine which liquidity pool will be targeted. When the liquidity is purged, it will be shown as dotted lines. This should not be used as traditional support/resistance, but rather as targets for the market.
The second form of liquidity is in the form of imbalances or fair value gaps. You can select a higher time frame to be plotted along with the current time frame you're viewing to identify imbalances that will likely be targeted intraday. We know that higher time frame fair value gaps work equally well as targets for market makers. When a higher time frame FVG is broken into, it can also act as a very powerful form of support and resistance. By default, when a fair value gap has been mitigated it will be removed from the chart, however this can be disabled.
Between these two forms of market maker liquidity targets on the chart, it will be easier to formulate a thesis intraday to determine where the market will move. It can help minimize the amount of switching between higher time frames that needs to be done, allowing you to identify targets while trading on your favorite intraday time frame for optimal risk/reward.
In the near future, I will build in alerting mechanism to alert when liquidity on higher time frames as been purged/mitigated.

Imbalance Detector [LuxAlgo]This indicator detects and highlights market imbalances alongside a dashboard returning information about their frequency of occurrence and their fill percentage. Imbalances included in this script are Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Opening Gaps (OG) and Volume Imbalances (VI).
Alerts are available for the occurrences of all market imbalances.
Settings
Imbalances
Each imbalance has the same settings layout:
Imbalance: Enable/disable the detection of the specific imbalance.
Min Width: If enabled, requires the imbalance area width to be greater than the specified value. This minimum width can be expressed in points, percentages or ATR multiples.
Extend: Extend imbalances by a specified number of bars.
Dashboard
Show Dashboard: Enable/disable the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Location: Location of the dashboard on the chart.
Dashboard Size: Size of the dashboard.
Usage
Market imbalances are part of the many concepts available to price action traders and highlight areas where there is a disparity between supply and demand.
It is common to see price come back to these areas and traders often use them as supports and resistances but also as targets.
Details
The script can detect three distinct types of imbalances described below.
Fair Value Gaps
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) are three candle formations characterized by a gap between the wicks of the non-adjacent candles in the formation.
A bullish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price low and the 2 bars anterior price high, and a bearish FVG is characterized by a gap between the current price high and the 2 bars anterior price low.
Opening Gaps
Opening Gaps (OG) are imbalances characterized by non-existent activity within a specific price range.
A bullish OG occurs when the current price low is greater than the previous high, a bearish OG occurs when price high is lower than the previous price low.
Opening Gaps primarily occur in closing markets, as such they are less common in the cryptocurrency market.
Most of the time an Opening Gap will also be accompanied by a Fair Value Gap, in order to avoid clutter the indicator will not detect Fair Value Gaps if Opening Gaps are enabled and if an Opening Gap has been detected
Volume Imbalances
Volume Imbalances (VI) are characterized by a price discontinuity between the opening price and previous close, but unlike Opening Gaps we do not see nonexistent activity within a certain price range.
A bullish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are superior to the previous closing price, with the current price low overlapping the previous price high. A bearish VI occur when both the opening and closing prices are inferior to the previous closing price, with the current price high overlapping the previous price low.
Because Volume Imbalances can occur excessively on markets with frequent gaps, we make use of an additional condition for filtering out less significant imbalances. Bullish VI's will require the previous price high to be lower than the opening price, while bullish VI's will require the previous price low to be higher than the opening price. Indicator
Bodies X Wix Version of Smart Money Tools by makuchaku & eFeThis is the same Script as Super Fair Value Gaps / FVG /BoS / by makuchaku & eFe. Mine Should Default to Large Text instead of small. The Super Order Blocks I believe was meant to for you to find one of the many Smart Money tools such as turn on the Fair Value gap but leave the others off, or Turn on where the Break of Structure and leave the others off. The reason I believe this is because the default values for each of the structures were default colored (green for positive and red for negative) for all.
Mine has a different Color for every possible structure. As long as you can read with the larger text that I added, then you can create your own boxes positive for break of structure, rejection block, order blocks and fair value gaps for any time frame. The reason I did that is because There's only certain things I believe I will need to mark for myself in each time frame, and then from there You can stretch iyour own box out further in time because if price touches a fair value gap for example, the fair value gap should conyinue in time until at least 2 candles have filed the Fair valu gap going both directions. That's truly when the fair value gap should is mitigated and will from off the chart. However, If I knew How to add the code for that, I would.
Additionally, I have the Max Boxes per chart, so you should have the ability to see every OB, FVG,RJB, & BoS on the chart
I tried my hardest to create a colored border that was different from the box. But the way the original was coded was almost impossible to do. Because they defined each of the structures (FVG, OB, BoS, RJB) outer levels, when the outer levels connect via math in the code, then it joins all the outside lines for a rectangle. When creating a box, the coloe will always be the same as the border unfortunately. (Unless I replan this from the beginning)
I also Changed the default labels for reach structure from a hard to read gray to a white that pops out.
Also, chart indicators are a little large as well. Such as the cross, sideways cross, The green Triangle, and the white Diamond. You'll get used to it or you can change it as well.
