Borna's ZonesBorna's Zones marks two important time-based zones on the chart: the 08:00 zone and the 09:00 zone. The 08:00 zone identifies initial liquidity. This zone sets the range where early market participants create significant activity. The 09:00 zone serves as a reference for confirmation. After 09:00, the indicator helps you identify whether the 08:00 zone should be considered cleared. Both zones are automatically extended until 11:00, providing clear visual references for potential market reactions. No trading is recommended after 11:00, as the early morning zones lose relevance. This indicator is useful for traders who focus on pre-market and early session liquidity, helping to visualize key levels where price may react.

🐋 MACRO POSITION TRADER - Quarterly Alignment 💎Disclaimer: This tool is an alignment filter and educational resource, not financial advice. Backtest and use proper risk management. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. so the idea behind this one came from an experience i had when i first started learning how to trade. dont laugh at me but i was the guy to buy into those stupid AI get rich quick schemes or the first person to buy the "golden indicator" just to find out that it was a scam. Its also to help traders place trades they can hold for months with high confidence and not have to sit in front of charts all day, and to also scale up quickly with small accounts confidently. and basically what it does is gives an alert once the 3 mo the 6 mo and the 12 mo tfs all align with eachother and gives the option to toggle on or off the 1 mo tf as well for extra confidence. Enter on the 5M–15M after a sweep + CHOCH in the direction of the aligned 1M–12M bias. that simple just continue to keep watching key levels mabey take profit 1-2 weeks and jump back in scaling up if desired..easy way to combine any small account size. Perfect balance of: low risk high R:R optimal precision minimal chop best sweep/CHOCH clarity hope you guys enjoy this one.

UT Bot Pro Max (Maks Edition)Script v2.0 UT Bot Pro Max is an advanced, high-precision evolution of the well-known UT Bot indicator. This version is fully rebuilt into a complete decision-making system that evaluates trend structure, volatility conditions, momentum signals, and entry quality. It is designed for traders who want clear, structured signals supported by objective filters and transparent reasoning. 1. Core Engine: ATR-Based Trailing Logic At the heart of the system is an ATR dynamic trailing stop. It is responsible for: detecting trend reversals identifying breakout conditions switching between long and short bias determining signal strength Unlike simple ATR lines, this engine adapts to momentum expansion and contraction, forming the backbone for every signal. 2. Three-Tier Signal Structure Each signal is classified into one of three levels based on the number of confirmations: Strong Signals ATR breakout trend filter (price relative to EMA200) RSI filter (oversold/overbought context) This is the highest-quality confirmation and is suitable for full-size entries. Medium Signals ATR breakout trend filter (no RSI filter) This represents a valid trend continuation but with slightly reduced confirmation. Weak Signals ATR breakout only (no trend filter, no RSI filter) This is an early-stage impulse which can evolve into a stronger move. The multi-level classification allows the trader to size positions rationally and avoid over-committing during uncertain market conditions. 3. Move-Since-Entry Tracking When a new long or short position is detected, the indicator records the entry price and automatically tracks the percentage movement from that point. This offers: real-time monitoring of open trade performance objective context for managing exits clear visualization of progress since entry 4. Smart State-Change Alerts Instead of simple “BUY” or “SELL” messages, the script sends highly structured alerts whenever the internal state changes. Each alert includes: the symbol and timeframe signal direction and strength recommended position size based on signal tier ATR values RSI value and its state trend context (bullish, bearish, neutral) distance from ATR trailing stop movement since entry previous state reference (optional) This makes it ideal for automated systems, algorithmic routing, or Telegram-based signal delivery. 5. Professional On-Chart Status Table The indicator displays a refined information panel containing: current signal state (Strong / Medium / Weak / Hold) ATR signal direction trend filter result RSI value and condition distance to trailing stop (percentage) current position (long / short / flat) entry recommendation based on signal strength ATR value and additional context in expanded mode There is also a compact mode optimized specifically for mobile trading. 6. Optional Heikin Ashi Mode The indicator can operate using Heikin Ashi close values for traders who prefer smooth, noise-reduced visualizations. The internal logic is recalculated automatically. 7. Trend-Colored Candles An optional feature allows candle coloring based on price position relative to the ATR stop line, highlighting bullish and bearish phases directly on the chart. What This Indicator Provides Accurate, context-aware entry signals Scalable position sizing through multi-tier structure Objective trend confirmation Breakout detection with volatility adaptation Continuous tracking of open position performance Detailed real-time explanations through alerts A complete visual dashboard consolidating all key metrics UT Bot Pro Max (Maks Edition) is built as a practical tool for daily trading. It is suitable for scalping, day trading, swing trading, automated alerts, and mobile workflows.

CRR - Gaps + FVG PROUses ATR Calculates ATR and, with minAtrR, defines the minimum size for a GAP or FVG to be considered valid. Detects and draws GAPs between candles Bullish GAP: low > high (upward gap). Bearish GAP: high < low (downward gap). Draws a box between the previous and current candle. The box can be extended to the right. If the price fills the gap (touches it), and autoDelGap is active, the box is deleted (mitigated). Only saves and manages the last bullish GAP and the last bearish GAP. Detects and draws FVG (3-candle imbalance) Bullish FVG: high < low → liquidity gap below. Bearish FVG: low > high → liquidity gap above. Draws a box for the gap between candle 2 and the current candle. The box can be extended to the right. When the price completely enters the zone (fills it), if autoDelFVG is active, the box is deleted (mitigated). Only monitors the last bullish FVG and the last bearish FVG. 🧠 In simple terms: It marks GAPs and FVG imbalance zones on the chart, extends them to the right, and automatically deletes them when the price mitigates/fills those zones.

SYXX - HTF Candle Overlay This script, titled "HTF Candle Overlay by SYXX," is designed to visualize the full range and structure of a higher-timeframe (HTF) candle directly onto a lower-timeframe chart. It helps traders maintain context by showing where the current price action sits relative to a much larger candle's boundaries. Combined with LuxAlgo Volume Node Profile. 1. 🔍 Primary Feature: Higher Timeframe Candle Projection Configurable Timeframe: The user sets the desired HTF using the Interval input, which defaults to 'D' (Daily). The indicator then tracks the High, Low, Open, and Close of that HTF bar. Live and Historical Drawing: The script uses box.new to draw boxes representing the candle's full range (High to Low). Historical Boxes (if changeHTF): When a new HTF candle closes, the completed box for the previous period is drawn. Live Box (if barstate.islast): The indicator draws a live, dynamic box for the current, incomplete HTF candle, which expands with every new High or Low on the lower chart. 2. 🎨 Visualization & Customization Color-Coded Bias: The boxes are colored based on the HTF candle's direction: Bullish/Long (BgLong): Green color is used if the HTF candle closed higher than it opened (close > htfOpen). Bearish/Short (BgShort): Red color is used if the HTF candle closed lower than it opened. Box Styling: Users can customize the box's appearance, including border color and style, border thickness, and background opacity (BoxOpacity). Midline: An optional MidLine is calculated as the average of the HTF High and Low, acting as a potential support/resistance reference point. Range Display: The indicator can display the range of the box in pips (BoxRangePips) or the percentage of movement relative to the full range (BoxRangePercentage). Time Labels: It plots time labels that show the start and end time of the completed HTF period (e.g., "07:00 - 11:00"). 3. 🚨 Alert System (Placeholders) The script includes placeholder inputs for standard trading alerts, though the internal logic for checking these conditions is currently commented out or set to false: Alert: Break Above/Below Box: To signal a breakout of the HTF High or Low. Alert: Price Re-Enters Box: To signal a pullback back into the range.

ICT Fair Value Gap Detector [Eˣ]⚡ Fair Value Gap Detector Overview The Fair Value Gap Detector automatically identifies price imbalances on your charts - the inefficiencies left behind when price moves too quickly. This indicator reveals where price is likely to return for "rebalancing", based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of market efficiency. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 What This Indicator Does Detects Fair Value Gaps: • 🟢 Bullish FVG - Gap left below during aggressive upward move • 🔴 Bearish FVG - Gap left above during aggressive downward move • Automatically identifies 3-candle price inefficiencies • Works on all timeframes and instruments Smart Fill Tracking: • Full Fill - Price completely fills the gap • 50% Fill - Price fills half the gap (critical level) • Partial Fill - Price touches gap edge • Real-time fill percentage tracking • Auto-removes filled gaps (optional) Professional Features: • Active Gap Highlighting - Shows nearest unfilled gap • Distance Calculator - Displays how far price is from gaps • Market Bias - Analysis based on gap balance • Size Filtering - Minimum gap size to avoid noise • Visual Clarity - Clean boxes with color-coding ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Understanding Fair Value Gaps What Are Fair Value Gaps? Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalances or inefficiencies, are zones where price moved so quickly that normal trading didn't occur. They represent: • Price Imbalance - One-sided aggressive buying or selling • Unfair Pricing - Some participants didn't get to trade at these levels • Market Inefficiency - Supply/demand equilibrium was disrupted • Rebalancing Zones - Price often returns to "fill" these gaps The ICT Concept: Markets constantly seek equilibrium (fair value). When price moves too fast: 1. It leaves gaps where normal trading didn't happen 2. These gaps represent unfair/inefficient pricing 3. Market has a tendency to return and "rebalance" 4. Smart money knows this and trades the fills Why FVGs Work: • Unfilled Orders - Traders who missed the move have pending orders in the gap • Algorithmic Trading - Algos programmed to exploit inefficiencies • Market Psychology - Traders notice gaps and place orders there • Institutional Behavior - Smart money uses gaps for entries/exits FVG vs Regular Gaps: • Regular Gaps - Occur at market open, between daily closes • Fair Value Gaps - Occur intraday, between 3 consecutive candles • FVGs happen more frequently and on all timeframes • FVGs are more tradeable for intraday/swing traders ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟢 Bullish Fair Value Gaps Explained How They Form: Bullish FVG requires 3 candles: 1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the high reference) 2. Candle 2 - Strong bullish candle (aggressive buying) 3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle The Gap: Candle 3's LOW is above Candle 1's HIGH = Gap left unfilled Visual Example: ``` Candle 3: Low at $105 ──────────┐ │ ← GAP (Bullish FVG) Candle 2: Strong bullish │ │ Candle 1: High at $100 ──────────┘ ``` What It Means: • Price jumped from $100 to $105+ so fast, no trading occurred in between • This $100-$105 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there • Market may return to this zone to "rebalance" • When price returns, it often acts as support Trading Bullish FVGs: Strategy: • Wait for price to retrace down into the bullish FVG (green box) • Look for rejection/bounce from the gap zone • Enter long when price respects the FVG as support • Stop loss: Below the FVG • Target: Previous high or opposite FVG Best Entry Points: • 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability) • Full Fill: Price touches bottom of gap (aggressive entry) • Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal) Example Trade: • Bullish FVG forms: $50,000 - $50,500 (500 point gap) • Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces • Price drops to $50,250 (50% of gap filled) • Bullish reversal candle appears • Enter long at $50,500, stop at $49,800 • Target: $52,000+ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔴 Bearish Fair Value Gaps Explained How They Form: Bearish FVG requires 3 candles: 1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the low reference) 2. Candle 2 - Strong bearish candle (aggressive selling) 3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle The Gap: Candle 3's HIGH is below Candle 1's LOW = Gap left unfilled Visual Example: ``` Candle 1: Low at $100 ───────────┐ │ ← GAP (Bearish FVG) Candle 2: Strong bearish │ │ Candle 3: High at $95 ───────────┘ ``` What It Means: • Price dropped from $100 to $95 so fast, no trading occurred in between • This $95-$100 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there • Market may return to this zone to "rebalance" • When price returns, it often acts as resistance Trading Bearish FVGs: Strategy: • Wait for price to retrace up into the bearish FVG (red box) • Look for rejection/reversal from the gap zone • Enter short when price respects the FVG as resistance • Stop loss: Above the FVG • Target: Previous low or opposite FVG Best Entry Points: • 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability) • Full Fill: Price touches top of gap (aggressive entry) • Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal) Example Trade: • Bearish FVG forms: $48,000 - $48,500 (500 point gap) • Price drops to $46,000 then retraces • Price rallies to $48,250 (50% of gap filled) • Bearish reversal candle appears • Enter short at $48,000, stop at $48,700 • Target: $46,000- ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 How To Use This Indicator Strategy 1: FVG Rebalancing (Classic) Best For: Swing trading, reversal trading Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H Win Rate: 65-75% Entry Rules: 1. Identify unfilled FVG (bright color, not gray) 2. Wait for price to return to the gap 3. Best entry: 50% fill of the gap 4. Look for reversal confirmation: • Bullish FVG: Pin bar, engulfing, hammer • Bearish FVG: Shooting star, bearish engulfing 5. Enter when price bounces/rejects from FVG 6. Stop: Beyond opposite side of FVG 7. Target: 2-3R or previous high/low Why It Works: 70%+ of FVGs get filled, and 60%+ show reaction Strategy 2: FVG + Order Block Confluence Best For: High-probability setups Timeframes: 1H, 4H Win Rate: 75-85% Entry Rules: 1. Find FVG that overlaps with Order Block 2. This creates a "super zone" of confluence 3. Wait for price to return to this zone 4. Enter on first touch of confluence zone 5. Stop: Beyond the confluence zone 6. Target: 3-4R Why It Works: Double institutional concepts = highest probability Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe FVG Best For: Position trading, major moves Timeframes: Combine Daily + 4H or 4H + 1H Win Rate: 70-80% Entry Rules: 1. Identify large FVG on higher timeframe (Daily/4H) 2. Wait for price to enter this HTF FVG 3. Switch to lower timeframe (4H/1H) 4. Look for LTF FVG within HTF FVG in same direction 5. Trade the LTF FVG fill 6. Stop: Below LTF FVG 7. Target: Exit HTF FVG or beyond Why It Works: Timeframe alignment = institutional consensus Strategy 4: FVG Rejection Trade Best For: Quick scalps, day trading Timeframes: 5min, 15min Win Rate: 60-70% Entry Rules: 1. Price enters FVG zone 2. Immediate rejection (strong reversal candle) 3. Enter on close of rejection candle 4. Tight stop beyond FVG 5. Quick target: 1-2R Why It Works: Strong rejection = institutional defense of level Strategy 5: FVG-to-FVG Trading Best For: Momentum trading Timeframes: 15min, 1H Win Rate: 55-65% Entry Rules: 1. Identify bullish FVG below and bearish FVG above 2. Enter long at bullish FVG, target bearish FVG 3. Or enter short at bearish FVG, target bullish FVG 4. Price often moves from one imbalance to another 5. Stop: Beyond trading FVG 6. Target: Opposite FVG Why It Works: Price rebalances from one inefficiency to another ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ Settings Explained Display Settings Show Bullish/Bearish FVG • Toggle each type on/off independently • Customize colors for each FVG type • Default: Green (bullish), Red (bearish) • Tip: Use colors that contrast with your chart Max FVG to Display (Default: 20) • Limits how many gaps are shown at once • Lower (10-15): Cleaner chart, recent gaps only • Higher (30-50): More historical context • Recommended: 15-25 for most trading Show FVG Labels (Default: ON) • Displays "FVG+" and "FVG-" text on gaps • Shows 🎯 on active (nearest) gap • Shows fill percentage (e.g., "FVG+ 35%") • Turn OFF for minimal appearance • Recommended: Keep ON for clarity Extend Gaps (bars) (Default: 50) • How far to extend gap boxes to the right • Lower (20-30): Shorter boxes • Higher (100+): Longer boxes, easier to see • Gaps auto-extend until filled or limit reached • Recommended: 40-60 bars Filters Min Gap Size % (Default: 0.05) • Minimum gap size as percentage of price • Filters out tiny, insignificant gaps • Crypto: 0.05-0.15% (high volatility) • Forex: 0.03-0.10% (moderate volatility) • Stocks: 0.05-0.20% (varies by stock) • Indices: 0.05-0.15% • Adjust based on instrument's average move Show Filled Gaps (Default: OFF) • When ON: Shows gray boxes for filled gaps • When OFF: Gaps disappear after mitigation • Use ON: For learning and backtesting • Use OFF: For clean, active trading view Advanced Settings Auto-Detect Mitigation (Default: ON) • Automatically tracks when gaps are filled • Updates fill percentage in real-time • Marks gaps as "mitigated" when filled • Recommended: Keep ON Mitigation Type (Default: Full) • Full: Gap considered filled when price closes through entire gap • 50%: Gap considered filled at 50% (critical level) • Partial: Gap considered filled on first touch • For learning: Use "Full" • For aggressive trading: Use "50%" • For conservative trading: Use "Partial" Highlight Nearest Gap (Default: ON) • Highlights the closest unfilled gap to current price • Active gap shown with 🎯 emoji and brighter color • Helps focus on most relevant opportunity • Recommended: Keep ON ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Info Panel Guide Bullish FVG Count • Number of active (unfilled) bullish fair value gaps • Higher number = More potential support zones below • Multiple bullish FVGs = Strong rebalancing demand Bearish FVG Count • Number of active (unfilled) bearish fair value gaps • Higher number = More potential resistance zones above • Multiple bearish FVGs = Strong rebalancing supply Bias Indicator • ⬆ Bullish: More bullish FVGs than bearish • ⬇ Bearish: More bearish FVGs than bullish • ↔ Neutral: Equal FVGs on both sides • Market tends to fill nearby gaps first Target Indicator • Shows nearest unfilled gap and distance • Example: "Bull FVG -1.25%" = Bullish gap is 1.25% below price • Example: "Bear FVG +0.85%" = Bearish gap is 0.85% above price • Watch for price to reach these targets ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 Alert Setup This indicator includes 4 alert types: 1.

LiquidityPulse Higher Timeframe Consecutive Candle Run LevelsLiquidityPulse Higher Timeframe Consecutive Candle Run Levels Research suggests that financial markets can alternate between trend-persistence and mean-reversion regimes, particularly at short (intraday) or very long timeframes. Extended directional moves, whether prolonged intraday rallies or sell-offs, also carry a statistically higher chance of retracing or reversing (Safari & Schmidhuber, 2025). In addition, studies examining support and resistance behaviour show that swing highs or lows formed after strong directional moves may act as structurally and psychologically important price levels, where subsequent price interactions have an increased likelihood of stalling or bouncing rather than passing through directly (Chung & Bellotti, 2021). By highlighting higher-timeframe candle runs and marking their extremal levels, this indicator aims to display areas where directional momentum previously stopped, providing contextual "watch levels" that traders may incorporate into their broader analysis. How this information is used in the indicator: When a sequence of consecutive higher-timeframe candles prints in the same direction, the indicator highlights the lower-timeframe chart with a green or red background, depending on whether the higher-timeframe run was bullish or bearish. The highest high (for a bull run) or lowest low (for a bear run) of that sequence forms a recent extremum, and this value is plotted as a swing-high or swing-low level. These levels appear only after the required number of consecutive higher-timeframe candles (set by the user) have closed, and they continue updating as long as the higher-timeframe streak remains intact. A level "freezes" and stops updating only when an opposite-colour higher-timeframe candle closes (e.g., a red candle ending a bull run, or a green candle ending a bear run). Once frozen, the level remains fixed to preserve that structural information for future analysis or retests. The number of past bull/bear levels displayed on the chart is also adjustable in the settings. Why capture a level after a long directional run: When price moves in one direction for several consecutive candles (e.g. 4, 5, or more), it reflects strong directional bias, often associated with momentum, liquidity imbalance, or liquidity grabs. Once that sequence breaks, the final level reached marks a point of exhaustion or structural resistance/support, where that bias failed to continue. These inflection points are often used by traders and trading algorithms to assess potential reversals, retests, or breakout setups. By freezing these levels once the run ends, the indicator creates a map of historically significant price zones, allowing traders to observe how price behaves around them over time. Additional information displayed by the indicator: Each detected run includes a label showing the run length (the number of consecutive higher-timeframe candles in the streak) along with the source timeframe used for detection. The indicator also displays an overstretch marker: this numerical value appears when the total size of the candle bodies within the run exceeds a user-defined multiple of the average higher-timeframe body size (default: 1.5x). This helps highlight runs that were unusually strong or extended relative to typical volatility. You can also enable alerts that trigger when this overstretch ratio exceeds a higher threshold. Key Settings Timeframe: Choose which HTF to analyse (e.g., 15m, 1h, 4h) Minimum Candle Run Length: Define how many consecutive candles are needed to trigger a level (e.g., 4) Overstretch Settings: Customize detection threshold and alert trigger (in multiples of average body size) Background Tints: Enable/disable visual highlights for bull and bear runs Display Capacity: Choose how many past bull/bear levels to show How Traders Can Use This Indicator Traders can: -Watch levels for retests, reversals, breakouts, or consolidation -Identify areas where price showed strong directional conviction -Spot extended or aggressive moves based on overstretch detection -Monitor how price reacts when retesting prior run levels -Build confluence with your existing levels, zones, or indicators Disclaimer This tool does not reflect true order flow, liquidity, or institutional positioning. It is a visual aid that highlights specific candle behaviour patterns and does not produce predictive signals. All analysis is subject to interpretation, and past price behaviour does not imply future outcomes.

5-Min Range Breakout (09:30 NY on MNQ)This is a 5 - min orb strat that a youtuber mentioned and i had a manual look for a while and thought it was actually pretty good but my results are bad. Feel free to look yourself with this code. Basically this strat is using the 5min orb then go down to 1min timeframe and wait for a breakout with FVG confirmation. So candle after breaking candle is our entry only if FVG is formed. However i do notice if you dump this code onto 5min timefraem and above you start consistently making money but it is a very small amount for me so you all can have it. Good starter strat on 5min or 10min timeframe
