Michael's FVG Detector═══════════════════════════════════════ Michael's FVG Detector ═══════════════════════════════════════ A clean and efficient Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator for TradingView that helps traders identify market imbalances with precision. ─────────────────────────────────────── Overview ─────────────────────────────────────── Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price inefficiencies that occur when there's a gap between the wicks of candlesticks, indicating rapid price movement with minimal trading activity. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones where price may return to "fill the gap." This indicator automatically detects and visualizes both bullish and bearish FVGs on any timeframe, making it easy to spot potential trading opportunities. ─────────────────────────────────────── Features ─────────────────────────────────────── Core Functionality Automatic FVG Detection : Identifies Fair Value Gaps in real-time as they form Bullish & Bearish FVGs : Detects both upward and downward price gaps 3-Candle Pattern : Uses classic FVG logic (current candle low > high from 2 bars ago for bullish, vice versa for bearish) Gap Size Display : Shows the exact size of each FVG in ticks directly on the box Confirmed Bars Only : Only draws FVGs on confirmed bars to prevent repainting Customization Color Settings : Fully customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs with transparency control Text Color : Configurable color for the tick size labels Default Styling : Comes with sensible defaults (20% transparency, dark gray labels) Performance Optimization Smart Cleanup : Automatically removes boxes outside the visible chart area Efficient Rendering : Maintains optimal performance even on lower timeframes No Repainting : Uses confirmed bars only for reliable signals ─────────────────────────────────────── How It Works ─────────────────────────────────────── Detection Logic Bullish FVG: Current bar's low is higher than the high from 2 bars ago Creates an upward gap that price left behind during bullish momentum Bearish FVG: Current bar's high is lower than the low from 2 bars ago Creates a downward gap that price left behind during bearish momentum Visual Display Each detected FVG is displayed as: A semi-transparent colored box spanning the gap area The box extends from bar -2 to the current bar Gap size in ticks shown at the bottom-left of each box Singular/plural formatting ("1 tick" vs "X ticks") ─────────────────────────────────────── Performance Notes ─────────────────────────────────────── Cleanup runs every 50 bars to maintain optimal performance Only creates boxes on confirmed bars (no real-time repainting) Efficiently manages memory by removing off-screen boxes Suitable for both manual and automated trading strategies ─────────────────────────────────────── Disclaimer ─────────────────────────────────────── This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Always do your own research and risk management before making trading decisions. ─────────────────────────────────────── Author : Michael Version : 1.0 License : Free for personal use Last Updated : November 2025

FVG MagicFVG Magic — Fair Value Gaps with Smart Mitigation, Inversion & Auto-Clean-up FVG Magic finds every tradable Fair Value Gap (FVG), shows who powered it, and then manages each gap intelligently as price interacts with it—so your chart stays actionable and clean. Attribution This tool is inspired by the idea popularized in “Volumatic Fair Value Gaps ” by BigBeluga (licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Credit to BigBeluga for advancing FVG visualization in the community. Important: This is a from-scratch implementation—no code was copied from the original. I expanded the concept substantially with a different detection stack, a gap state machine (ACTIVE → 50% SQ → MITIGATED → INVERSED), auto-clean up rules, lookback/nearest-per-side pruning, zoom-proof volume meters, and timeframe auto-tuning for 15m/H1/H4. What makes this version more accurate Full-coverage detection (no “missed” gaps) Default ICT-minimal rule (Bullish: low > high , Bearish: high < low ) catches all valid 3-candle FVGs. Optional Strict filter (stricter structure checks) for traders who prefer only “clean” gaps. Optional size percentile filter—off by default so nothing is hidden unless you choose to filter. Correct handling of confirmations (wick vs close) Mitigation Source is user-selectable: high/low (wick-based) or close (strict). This avoids false “misses” when you expect wick confirmations (50% or full fill) but your logic required closes. State-aware labelling to prevent misleading data The Bull%/Bear% meter is shown only while a gap is ACTIVE. As soon as a gap is 50% SQ, MITIGATED, or INVERSED, the meter is hidden and replaced with a clear tag—so you never read stale participation stats. Robust zoom behaviour The meter uses a fixed bar-width (not pixels), so it stays proportional and readable at any zoom level. Deterministic lifecycle (no stale boxes) Remove on 50% SQ (instant or delayed). Inversion window after first entry: if price enters but doesn’t invert within N bars, the box auto-removes once fully filled. Inversion clean up: after a confirmed flip, keep for N bars (context) then delete (or 0 = immediate). Result: charts auto-maintain themselves and never “lie” about relevance. Clarity near current price Nearest-per-side (keep N closest bullish & bearish gaps by distance to the midpoint) focuses attention where it matters without altering detection accuracy. Lookback (bars) ensures reproducible behaviour across accounts with different data history. Timeframe-aware defaults Sensible auto-tuning for 15m / H1 / H4 (right-extension length, meter width, inversion windows, clean up bars) to reduce setup friction and improve consistency. What it does (under the hood) Detects FVGs using ICT-minimal (default) or a stricter rule. Samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe to split participation into Bull % / Bear % (sum = 100%). Manages each gap through a state machine: ACTIVE → 50% SQ (midline) → MITIGATED (full) → INVERSED (SR flip after fill). Auto-clean up keeps only relevant levels, per your rules. Dashboard (top-right) displays counts by side and the active state tags. How to use it First run (show everything) Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF Mitigation Source: high/low (wick-based) or close (stricter), as you prefer. Remove on 50% SQ: ON, Delay: 0 Read the context While ACTIVE, use the Bull%/Bear% meter to gauge demand/supply behind the impulse that created the gap. Confluence with your HTF structure, sessions, VWAP, OB/FVG, RSI/MACD, etc. Trade interactions 50% SQ: often the highest-quality interaction; if removal is ON, the box clears = “job done.” Full mitigation then rejection through the other side → tag changes to INVERSED (acts like SR). Keep for N bars, then auto-remove. Keep the chart tidy (optional) If too busy, enable Size Filter or set Nearest per side to 2–4. Use Lookback (bars) to make behaviour consistent across symbols and histories. Inputs (key ones) Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF(default)/ON Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF(default)/ON + threshold Mitigation Source: high/low or close Remove on 50% SQ + Delay Inversion window after entry (bars) Remove inversed after (bars) Lookback (bars), Nearest per side (N) Right Extension Bars, Max FVGs, Meter width (bars) Colours: Bullish, Bearish, Inversed fill Suggested defaults (per TF) 15m: Extension 50, Max 12, Inversion window 8, Clean up 8, Meter width 20 H1: Extension 25, Max 10, Inversion window 6, Clean up 6, Meter width 15 H4: Extension 15, Max 8, Inversion window 5, Clean up 5, Meter width 10 Notes & edge cases If a wick hits 50% or the far edge but state doesn’t change, you’re likely on close mode—switch to high/low for wick-based behaviour. If a gap disappears, it likely met a clean up condition (50% removal, inversion window, inversion clean up, nearest-per-side, lookback, or max-cap). Meters are hidden after ACTIVE to avoid stale percentages.

One Trading Setup for Life ICT [TradingFinder] Sweep Session FVG🔵 Introduction ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a trading strategy based on liquidity and market structure shifts, utilizing the PM Session Sweep to determine price direction. In this strategy, the market first forms a price range during the PM Session (from 13:30 to 16:00 EST), which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low). In the next session, the price first touches one of these levels to trigger a Liquidity Hunt before confirming its trend by breaking the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. After this confirmation, the price retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), which serve as the best entry points in alignment with liquidity. In financial markets, liquidity is the primary driver of price movement, and major market participants such as institutional investors and banks are constantly seeking liquidity at key levels. This process, known as Liquidity Hunt or Liquidity Sweep, occurs when the price reaches an area with a high concentration of orders, absorbs liquidity, and then reverses direction. In this setup, the PM Session range acts as a trading framework, where its highs and lows function as key liquidity zones that influence the next session’s price movement. After the New York market opens at 9:30 EST, the price initially breaks one of these levels to capture liquidity. However, for a trend shift to be confirmed, the CISD Level must be broken. Once the CISD Level is breached, the price retraces toward an FVG or OB, which serve as optimal trade entry points. Bullish Setup : Bearish Setup : 🔵 How to Use In this strategy, the PM Session range is first identified, which includes the highest high (PM Session High) and lowest low (PM Session Low) between 13:30 and 16:00 EST. In the following session, the price touches one of these levels for a Liquidity Hunt, followed by a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. The price then retraces toward a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or Order Block (OB), creating a trading opportunity. This process can occur in two scenarios : bearish and bullish setups. 🟣 Bullish Setup In a bullish scenario, the PM Session High and PM Session Low are identified. In the following session, the price first breaks the PM Session Low, absorbing liquidity. This process results in a Fake Breakout to the downside, misleading retail traders into taking short positions. After the Liquidity Hunt, the CISD Level is broken, confirming a trend reversal. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering an optimal long entry opportunity. The initial take-profit target is the PM Session High, but if higher timeframe liquidity levels exist, extended targets can be set. The stop-loss should be placed below the Fake Breakout low or the first candle of the FVG. 🟣 Bearish Setup In a bearish scenario, the market first defines its PM Session High and PM Session Low. In the next session, the price initially breaks the PM Session High, triggering a Liquidity Hunt. This movement often causes a Fake Breakout, misleading retail traders into taking incorrect positions. After absorbing liquidity, the CISD Level breaks, indicating a shift in market structure. The price then retraces toward an FVG or OB, offering the best short entry opportunity. The initial take-profit target is the PM Session Low, but if additional liquidity exists on higher timeframes, lower targets can be considered. The stop-loss should be placed above the Fake Breakout high or the first candle of the FVG. 🔵 Setting CISD Bar Back Check : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart. Order Block Validity : The number of candles that determine the validity of an Order Block. FVG Validity : The duration for which a Fair Value Gap remains valid. CISD Level Validity : The duration for which a CISD Level remains valid after being broken. New York PM Session : Defines the PM Session range from 13:30 to 16:00 EST. New York AM Session : Defines the AM Session range from 9:30 to 16:00 EST. Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses. Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price. FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps. Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal. Demand Order Block : Enables or disables bullish Order Block. Supply Order Block : Enables or disables bearish Order Blocks. Demand FVG : Enables or disables bullish FVG. Supply FVG : Enables or disables bearish FVGs. Show All CISD : Enables or disables the display of all CISD Levels. Show High CISD : Enables or disables high CISD levels. Show Low CISD : Enables or disables low CISD levels. 🔵 Conclusion The ICT One Trading Setup for Life is a liquidity-based strategy that leverages market structure shifts and precise entry points to identify high-probability trade opportunities. By focusing on PM Session High and PM Session Low, this setup first captures liquidity at these levels and then confirms trend shifts with a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Level. Entering a trade after a retracement to an FVG or OB allows traders to position themselves at optimal liquidity levels, ensuring high reward-to-risk trades. When used in conjunction with higher timeframe bias, order flow, and liquidity analysis, this strategy can become one of the most effective trading methods within the ICT Concept framework. Successful execution of this setup requires risk management, patience, and a deep understanding of liquidity dynamics. Traders can enhance their confidence in this strategy by conducting extensive backtesting and analyzing past market data to optimize their approach for different assets.

Order Block Overlapping Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction Technical analysis is a fundamental tool in financial markets, helping traders identify key areas on price charts to make informed trading decisions. The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) style, developed by Michael Huddleston, is one of the most advanced methods in this field. It enables traders to precisely identify and exploit critical zones such as Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs). To streamline and simplify the use of these key areas, a library has been developed in Pine Script, the scripting language for the TradingView platform. This library allows you to automatically detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other similar areas, and visually display them on your chart. This tool is particularly useful for creating indicators like Balanced Price Range (BPR) and ICT Unicorn Model. 🔵 How to Use This section explains how to use the Pine Script library. This library assists you in easily identifying and analyzing overlapping areas between Order Blocks and other zones, such as Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps. To add "Order Block Overlapping Drawing", you must first add the following code to your script. import TFlab/OrderBlockOverlappingDrawing/1 🟣 Inputs The library includes the "OBOverlappingDrawing" function, which you can use to detect and display overlapping zones. This function identifies and draws overlapping zones based on the Order Block type, trigger conditions, previous and current prices, and other relevant parameters. 🟣 Parameters OBOverlappingDrawing(OBType , TriggerConditionOrigin, distalPrice_Pre, proximalPrice_Pre , distalPrice_Curr, proximalPrice_Curr, Index_Curr , OBValidGlobal, OBValidDis, MitigationLvL, ShowAll, Show, ColorZone) => OBType (string) TriggerConditionOrigin (bool) distalPrice_Pre (float) proximalPrice_Pre (float) distalPrice_Curr (float) proximalPrice_Curr (float) Index_Curr (int) OBValidGlobal (bool) OBValidDis (int) MitigationLvL (string) ShowAll (bool) Show (bool) ColorZone (color) In this example, various parameters are defined to detect overlapping zones and draw them on the chart. Based on these settings, the overlapping areas will be automatically drawn on the chart. OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your Current order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones. TriggerConditionOrigin : Input the condition under which you want the Current order block to be drawn in this parameter. distalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Pervious "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line. proximalPrice_Pre : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Previous "Proximal" line. distalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed Current "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line. proximalPrice_Curr : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed Current "Proximal" line. Index_Curr : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the Current order block to be drawn and input it here. OBValidGlobal : This parameter is a boolean in which you can enter the condition that you want to execute to stop drawing the block order. If you do not have a special condition, you should set it to True. OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998. MitigationLvL : This parameter is a string. Its inputs are one of "Proximal", "Distal" or "50 % OB" modes, which you can enter according to your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the middle line between distal and proximal. ShowAll : This is a boolean parameter, if it is "true" the entire order of blocks will be displayed, and if it is "false" only the last block order will be displayed. Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed. ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks. 🟣 Output Mitigation Alerts : This library allows you to leverage Mitigation Alerts to detect specific conditions that could lead to trend reversals. These alerts help you react promptly in your trades, ensuring better management of market shifts. 🔵 Conclusion The Pine Script library provided is a powerful tool for technical analysis, especially in the ICT style. It enables you to detect overlapping zones between Order Blocks and other significant areas like Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, improving your trading strategies. By utilizing this tool, you can perform more precise analysis and manage risks effectively in your trades.

ICT Immediate Rebalance [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance aims at detecting and highlighting immediate rebalances, a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader. The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context. 🔶 USAGE Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to. Following an immediate rebalance, the typical expectation is for two extension candles to ensue; failing this, the immediate rebalance is deemed unsuccessful. It's important to note that both failed and successful immediate rebalances hold significance in trading when analyzed within a contextual framework. Immediate rebalances can manifest across various locations and timeframes. It's recommended to analyze them in conjunction with other ICT tools or technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. 🔹 Multi Timeframe The script facilitates multi-timeframe analysis, enabling users to display immediate rebalances from higher timeframes. Enabling the display of higher timeframe candles helps visualize the detected immediate rebalance patterns. 🔹 Dashboard The dashboard offers statistical insights into immediate rebalances. 🔶 SETTINGS 🔹 Immediate Rebalances Timeframe: this option is to identify immediate rebalances from higher timeframes. If a timeframe lower than the chart's timeframe is selected, calculations will be based on the chart's timeframe. Bullish, and Bearish Immediate Rebalances: color customization options. Wicks 75%, %50, and %25: color customization options of the wick price levels for the detected immediate rebalances. Immediate Rebalance Candles: toggles the visualization of higher timeframe candles where immediate rebalance is detected. Confirmation (Bars): specifies the number of bars required to confirm the validation of the detected immediate rebalance. Immediate Rebalance Icon: allows customization of the size of the icon used to represent the immediate rebalance. 🔹 Dashboard Dashboard: toggles the visualization of the dashboard, sets its location, and customizes the size of the dashboard. 🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS Fair-Value-Gap Thanks to our community for recommending this script.

ICT Unicorn Model [Kodexius]ICT Unicorn Model is a market structure and imbalance confluence tool that automatically detects high probability “Unicorn” setups by combining three key elements into a single, clean script: -A first, clean break of that swing level (displacement style break) -A Fair Value Gap that overlaps a breaker candle body range Instead of plotting every pivot or every imbalance independently, the script waits for a specific sequence: price establishes a valid swing, breaks that swing for the first time, and prints a setup only when the resulting context aligns with a valid, volatility filtered FVG and a clearly defined breaker range. Each detected setup is drawn directly on the chart with labeled zones (Breaker and FVG) and is then actively monitored. If price violates the breaker boundary based on your chosen invalidation basis (Close or Wick), the setup is marked inactive and can optionally be removed to keep the chart clean. This indicator is designed for traders who work with ICT style concepts such as liquidity runs, displacement, breaker blocks, and imbalance reversion, and who want a structured, rules based visualization rather than discretionary drawing. 🔹 Features 🔸 Fair Value Gap Detection With Volatility Filtering Bullish and bearish FVGs are detected using classic three candle imbalance logic. To avoid low quality gaps during compression, the script applies an ATR based minimum size filter using the “FVG Min Size (ATR Multiplier)” input. Only gaps larger than ATR * threshold are considered valid. 🔸 First Break Validation (Clean Break Logic) A key part of the model is identifying a “first break” of a swing level. The script checks whether the swing price has already been invalidated between the swing bar and the current bar. If it has, the swing is ignored. This helps reduce repeated signals and focuses on fresh structural breaks. 🔸 Breaker and FVG Confluence With Overlap Requirement After a valid break occurs, the script defines a breaker range using the body of the swing candle (open and close). A setup is only created if this breaker body range overlaps the detected FVG price range. This overlap requirement is what filters many “almost” conditions and keeps signals more selective. Bullish Unicorn: Bearish Unicorn: 🔸 Configurable Invalidation Basis (Close or Wick) You can choose how a setup fails: -Close: invalidation requires a candle close beyond the breaker boundary -Wick: invalidation occurs as soon as any wick crosses beyond the breaker boundary This allows the tool to adapt to different trading styles, from conservative confirmation to more sensitive risk control. 🔸 Automatic Cleanup of Failed Setups If “Delete Invalidated Setups” is enabled, the script removes the breaker box, FVG box, and label as soon as the setup is invalidated. If disabled, the zones remain visible for review while the setup is marked inactive internally. 🔸 Clear Chart Visuals Each setup plots: -A labeled Breaker zone box -A labeled FVG zone box -A directional Unicorn label (Bull or Bear) that updates position as the chart advances Colors for bullish and bearish structures are fully configurable. 🔸 Alert Conditions Two alert conditions are provided: -Bullish Unicorn Setup Detected -Bearish Unicorn Setup Detected Alerts trigger only on the bar a new setup is created. 🔹 Calculations This section summarizes the main computations used internally. The goal here is to explain the model mechanics rather than reproduce every implementation detail. 1. Swing Detection (Pivot High / Pivot Low) Swing levels are detected using a symmetric pivot definition with “Swing Length” bars on both sides: float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength) float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength) When a pivot is confirmed, its price and originating bar index are stored: -Swing High: price = pivot high, isHigh = true -Swing Low: price = pivot low, isHigh = false The script keeps a limited history (most recent swings) to stay efficient. 2. Fair Value Gap Detection FVGs use the classic three candle displacement imbalance: Bullish FVG condition bool isBullFVG = high < low Bullish gap range is defined as: -Top = low -Bottom = high Bearish FVG condition bool isBearFVG = low > high Bearish gap range is defined as: -Top = low -Bottom = high 3. ATR Based Minimum Gap Filter ATR is computed (length 14), then the gap size is compared against a user threshold: float atr = ta.atr(14) bool validBullFVG = isBullFVG and (bullFvgTop - bullFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold) bool validBearFVG = isBearFVG and (bearFvgTop - bearFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold) This prevents very small imbalances from generating setups in low volatility conditions. 4. “First Break” Check Using Level Invalidation Scan Before accepting a swing break, the script scans forward from the swing bar to the current bar to confirm the level has not already been breached. The scan can be based on wick or close: -Wick mode: uses high or low -Close mode: uses close Conceptually: priceToCheck = mode == "Wick" ? (checkBelow ? low : high) : close If a prior breach is found, the swing is treated as already invalidated and is ignored for setup creation. 5. Break Of Structure Condition Bullish break requirement A bullish setup requires breaking a stored swing high with bullish body intent: -close > swingHighPrice -open < close Bearish break requirement A bearish setup requires breaking a stored swing low with bearish body intent: -close < swingLowPrice -open > close An additional proximity filter is applied in the bearish branch to reduce weak or overly extended breaks by requiring the prior close to be reasonably near the swing level. 6. Breaker Range Construction Once a qualifying swing is found, the breaker range is derived from the body of the swing candle (the candle at the swing bar index). The body boundaries are: float breakerTop = math.max(bOpen, bClose) float breakerBot = math.min(bOpen, bClose) This models the breaker as the candle body range rather than full wick range, which typically produces more practical invalidation boundaries. 7. Overlap Test Between Breaker and FVG A setup is only created if the breaker body overlaps the FVG zone. Conceptually the script rejects cases where one range is fully above or fully below the other: -If there is no overlap, no setup is created -If overlap exists, the Unicorn setup is valid 8. Active Monitoring and Invalidation Each setup remains active until invalidated. Invalidation is evaluated every bar using your selected basis: -Close basis: compares close to breaker boundary -Wick basis: compares high or low to breaker boundary Bullish invalidation Setup fails if price crosses below breaker bottom. Bearish invalidation Setup fails if price crosses above breaker top. If deletion is enabled, all drawings related to that setup are removed immediately on invalidation. 9. Drawing Updates and Object Lifecycle Breaker and FVG boxes are extended to the right while the setup is active to keep zones visible into the near future. The Unicorn label is also repositioned as new bars print so the most recent context stays readable.

D3m4h GIFVGDescription D3m4h GIFVG is an indicator designed to automatically detect market imbalances—often referred to as FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)—and potential pivot-based shifts in market structure. It offers a dynamic approach to visualizing supply/demand inefficiencies and pivot-based trend changes. Key features include: 1. Pivot-Based Bullish/Bearish Detection The indicator identifies higher-high/lower-low pivot logic as well as “outside bar” pivots. It tracks when the market transitions from bullish to bearish ranges, or vice versa, by using multiple checks: Pivot low/high detection Break-of-structure (when price crosses the last pivot) Opposing FVG detection to confirm an intraday pivot shift 2. FVG (Fair Value Gap) Detection The script automatically scans for bullish or bearish FVG conditions: Bullish FVG: Candle at position (bar_index - 2) has a high below the current candle’s low. Bearish FVG: Candle at position (bar_index - 2) has a low above the current candle’s high. When it detects an FVG, it draws a box on the chart to highlight the price gap (yellow boxes by default). 3. Pivot Range FVG If an FVG forms while the market is in a bullish pivot range, the script can paint a special “blue” FVG to underscore its significance. The same logic applies if a newly formed FVG appears in a bearish pivot range. 4. Filled Gap Cleanup You can optionally hide standard FVG boxes once they’re filled. For example, if the candle’s body (or candle range) covers that gap, the box is removed to keep your chart clean. 5. Pivot-Range FVG “Raided” Cleanup If the pivot-based FVG is later filled from the opposing direction, it turns green and can optionally remove itself after a set number of bars. 6. Informative Table A small table on the chart optionally displays whether or not the pivot-based FVG has been “raided”. You can toggle this table on/off in the settings. How It Works 1. Pivot Shifts The script tracks the last pivot high/low using a combination of candle-based pivot detection and break-of-structure checks (when price crosses the last pivot in the opposite direction). When a shift is detected, the pivot range ID increments—this helps the script know when to remove old pivot-based FVGs or draw new ones. 2. FVG Formation Each new bar checks if a bullish or bearish FVG formed (comparing the high of bar two bars ago to the current low, or the low of bar two bars ago to the current high). If one is found, a box is drawn to highlight the imbalance. Its color and extension depend on script settings. 3. Imbalance or Pivot FVG Standard imbalance boxes appear in yellow. If the new imbalance coincides with a bullish or bearish pivot range, a special “pivot imbalance” box in blue is drawn. 3. Hide Filled If a newly formed candle’s body fully covers the FVG, the box is considered filled. If Hide Filled Gaps is enabled, the box is deleted once it’s covered. 4. Raid Status For the pivot-based (blue) FVG, once price invalidates it from the opposite side, it changes color to green and gets removed after a user-defined number of bars. How to Use 1. Look for FVGs Observe yellow boxes to identify potential intraday imbalances. Watch for price returning to fill these zones. If you see a “blue” box, it signifies a pivot-based FVG in line with a recognized shift in structure—arguably a higher-probability zone. 2. “Hide Filled Gaps” Turn this on if you only want to see currently active or partially filled imbalances. The script cleans up old, fully covered boxes to keep your chart neat. 3. Pivot Shifts Note the script’s internal pivot logic. Each new pivot re-defines bullish or bearish states. Use these states to gauge the short-term trend shifts. 4. Toggle the Table You can show or hide the chart table by enabling/disabling “Show Table” from the inputs. This table indicates if the pivot-based “GIFVG” has been “raided” or not. 5. Extend Count Adjust the extendCount in the code if you want FVG boxes to extend further or shorter in time. Underlying Concepts Fair Value Gaps Market inefficiencies that occur when price jumps, leaving a “gap” from the candle 2 bars ago to the current candle. They can act like mini supply/demand zones where price may revisit for balance. Pivot Ranges The script tries to maintain an internal sense of whether the market is in a bullish or bearish pivot range. When it sees a contrary FVG or break-of-structure, it flips the pivot state. Outside Bars A candle that has both a higher high and a lower low than the previous bar. The script uses these to mark significant pivot shifts. By combining pivot-based logic with FVG detection, the D3m4h GIFVG indicator helps highlight potential areas of liquidity or unfilled value. Traders can use these zones to plan entries/exits or to confirm short-term trend shifts.

FVG Alerts (Vortus)What are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)? Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) represent price inefficiencies where buying and selling volumes are imbalanced, creating gaps between the wicks of consecutive candles. These gaps often act as magnets for price, as markets tend to "fill" these gaps before resuming their trend. FVGs can signal potential entry or exit points, making them a valuable tool for traders looking to exploit these price inefficiencies. How to Use the Script to Add Alerts: 1. Add the Script to Your Chart: Load the script into TradingView by pasting it into the Pine Script Editor, then apply it to your chart. 2. Adjust Your Settings: In the "FVG Settings" section, decide whether you want gaps to be removed after their midpoint or full fill. You can also choose to identify gaps only after a candle has closed, adding a level of confirmation to your strategy. Customize the colors for Bullish and Bearish FVGs under "Visual Settings" to match your chart's theme. 3. Set Up Your Alerts: After adding the script to your chart, go to the "Alerts" section in TradingView. Select either "Bullish FVG Filled" or "Bearish FVG Filled" from the "Condition" dropdown menu. Configure the alert parameters such as frequency, expiration, and notification method according to your trading strategy. 4.

Precise Gap FinderPrecise Gap Finder This indicator identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action and it is perfect for traders looking to exploit price imbalances and capitalize on trading opportunities. How It Works: The Precise Gap Finder detects Fair Value Gaps by analyzing three consecutive candles. A gap is identified when the middle candle’s price range (open to close) is not overlapped by the high and low prices of the surrounding candles. This indicates a price imbalance, which can be a strong signal for potential market moves. How to Use for Trading: Identify Entry Points: Use the highlighted Fair Value Gaps to spot potential entry points. An upward FVG can indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a downward FVG can signal a potential selling opportunity. Confirm Trends: Combine the FVG signals with other technical indicators to confirm trends and enhance the accuracy of your trades. Risk Management: Use FVGs to identify potential stop-loss and take-profit levels. Gaps can serve as natural support and resistance levels. Backtesting: Analyze historical data to understand how FVGs have impacted price movements in the past, helping you refine your trading strategy

Institutional Liquidity & FVG Tracker by Herman Sangivera(Papua)Institutional Liquidity & FVG Tracker (Precision SMC) by Herman Sangivera ( Papuan Trader ) This indicator is designed to identify key institutional levels by tracking Buy Side Liquidity (BSL), Sell Side Liquidity (SSL), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG). It helps traders visualize where "Smart Money" is likely to hunt for stops and where market imbalances exist. Key Features: Dynamic Liquidity Levels: Automatically identifies Swing Highs and Lows where retail Stop Losses are clustered. Liquidity Purge Detection: Lines will visually fade once price "sweeps" or grabs the liquidity, signaling a potential reversal. Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Highlights price imbalances (gaps) created by aggressive institutional displacement. These areas often act as magnets for price retracements. How to Use: The Sweep: Wait for the price to cross a dashed liquidity line (BSL or SSL). This indicates a "Stop Hunt" is occurring. The Shift: Look for a rapid price reversal immediately after the sweep that leaves a Fair Value Gap (colored boxes) in its wake. The Entry: Consider entering a trade when price retraces back into the FVG box, using the liquidity sweep high/low as your protected Stop Loss. Settings: Liquidity Lookback: Adjust the sensitivity of swing points. Higher values identify more significant, longer-term liquidity pools. FVG Minimum Size: Filters out small, insignificant gaps to keep your chart clean and focused on high-probability setups.

IFVG ExtendedThis indicator identifies and visualizes "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" (IFVGs) on a price chart. It highlights these gaps, tracks their evolution, and signals when they are "filled" or "invalidated" by price action. The script is quite advanced, using custom types, arrays, and dynamic drawing. 1. Types and Variables Custom Types: lab: Stores label information (x, y, direction). fvg: Stores Fair Value Gap data, including its boundaries, direction, state, labels, and other properties. Arrays: Four arrays track bullish and bearish FVGs, and their "invalidated" (filled) versions. Signals: Boolean variables to store if a bullish or bearish signal is triggered. 2. User Inputs and Parameters Display Settings: How many recent FVGs to show, signal preference (close or wick), ATR multiplier for gap size filtering, and colors for bullish/bearish/midline. 3. Chart Data Price Data: Open, high, low, close, and ATR (Average True Range) are stored for use in calculations. 4. Functions label_maker: Draws an up or down arrow label at a given point, colored for bullish or bearish. fvg_manage: Checks if any FVGs in the array have been "invalidated" (i.e., price has crossed their boundary). If so, moves them to the invalidated array. inv_manage: Manages invalidated FVGs, checking if a signal should be fired (i.e., price has reacted to the gap). Also removes old FVGs. send_it: Draws the FVGs and their labels on the chart, using boxes and lines for visualization. 5. Main Logic and Visualization FVG Detection: On each bar, checks for new bullish or bearish FVGs based on price action and ATR filter. Adds new FVGs to the appropriate array. FVG Management: Updates the arrays, moves invalidated FVGs, and checks for signals. Drawing: On the last bar, clears all previous drawings and redraws the current FVGs and their labels. 6. Alerts Alert Conditions: Sets up alerts for when a bullish or bearish IFVG signal is triggered, so users can be notified. Summary In short: This script automatically finds and tracks "Imbalance Fair Value Gaps" on your chart, highlights them, and alerts you when price interacts with them in a significant way. It uses advanced Pine Script features to manage and visualize these zones dynamically, helping traders spot potential reversal or continuation points based on gap theory

Simple FVGSimple FVG - Fair Value Gap Indicator Overview: The "Simple FVG" script is designed for use with TradingView to identify and visually display Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on a trading chart. This indicator highlights both bullish and bearish imbalances based on specific candlestick patterns, helping traders to quickly identify potential trading opportunities. Key Features: Bullish and Bearish Imbalances: Bullish Imbalances: This script identifies bullish imbalances where the price exhibits a gap upward. The conditions for detecting a bullish imbalance are: The high of the second candle is greater than the high of the first candle. The low of the third candle is greater than the high of the first candle. Bearish Imbalances: This script identifies bearish imbalances where the price exhibits a gap downward. The conditions for detecting a bearish imbalance are: The low of the second candle is less than the low of the first candle. The high of the third candle is less than the low of the first candle. Customizable Display: Bullish Blocks: Users can toggle the display of bullish imbalance blocks with customizable colors and border settings. Bearish Blocks: Users can toggle the display of bearish imbalance blocks with customizable colors and border settings. Color and Border Settings: Adjust the color, border color, and border width of the blocks for both bullish and bearish imbalances according to user preferences. Visual Representation: Drawing Blocks: The script draws filled boxes on the chart to represent identified imbalances. These blocks span from the start of the first candlestick to the end of the third candlestick, providing a clear visual indicator of the price gap. How It Works: Identification Logic: The script analyzes three consecutive candles to determine if an imbalance exists. It compares the highs and lows of these candles to establish bullish or bearish conditions. Drawing Mechanism: Once an imbalance condition is met, the script calculates the top and bottom levels of the imbalance block based on the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle for bullish imbalances, and vice versa for bearish imbalances. It then draws these blocks on the chart using the specified colors and border settings. Usage Instructions: Add the Indicator: Apply the "Simple FVG" indicator to your TradingView chart. Customize Settings: Use the input options to enable or disable the display of bullish and bearish blocks. Adjust the colors and border settings for the imbalance blocks as needed. Interpret Imbalances: Look for the drawn blocks to identify potential areas where price imbalances have occurred. Use this information to inform your trading decisions. Originality and Value: The "Simple FVG" script offers a unique approach to visualizing Fair Value Gaps by focusing on specific candlestick patterns. It provides traders with a tool to easily identify and analyze price imbalances, enhancing chart analysis and trading strategy development.

[CT] Displacement FVG Toolkit Displacement FVG Toolkit is a complete ICT market-structure and execution toolkit designed to help you identify when price is truly repricing, where that repricing left inefficiencies, and how to frame trades with clear context, confirmation, and invalidation. The indicator brings together six institutional-grade concepts into one workflow, Displacement, Fair Value Gaps, Reload Zones, Dealing Range premium and discount, CISD, and Market Structure breaks, so you can stop reacting to random candles and start trading the sequence that professional order flow tends to follow, impulse, imbalance, retrace, and continuation or reversal. The Displacement tool is the engine that decides whether a candle represents meaningful participation or ordinary noise. Displacement is measured by comparing the current candle’s size to the average candle size over a user-defined lookback. You can choose whether the script uses the candle body size or the full high-to-low range for this calculation. When the candle exceeds the average by your selected displacement factor, it is flagged as displacement. Displacement is important because it is the clearest visible clue that the market has moved from balanced auction to aggressive repricing, which is the environment where inefficiencies form and where your best retest trades are born. In the photo, the yellow bars represent the displacement bars, and the indicator prints Buy and Sell markers on those displacement events. The user also has full control to color displacement bars to a color of their choice, so whether you prefer bright yellow, muted gray, or any custom brand color, you can set the exact bullish and bearish displacement bar colors in the inputs. If you do not want bar coloring at all, you can simply turn off displacement bar coloring and use only the markers. The Structure Filter is a powerful addition that prevents displacement from becoming “any big candle.” When enabled, the indicator requires the displacement candle to also break recent structure, meaning price must break above a recent high for bullish displacement or below a recent low for bearish displacement. You can decide whether the structure break is judged by a candle close beyond the prior structure level or by a wick that pierces it. Close-based structure breaks are cleaner and generally reduce false positives, while wick-based breaks are more sensitive and can trigger earlier at the cost of more noise. This filter matters because a large candle in the middle of chop is not the same as a large candle that actually breaks a meaningful swing point, and the indicator gives you a way to enforce that distinction mechanically. The Fair Value Gap tool identifies the most valuable type of imbalance, the three-candle FVG, but it only plots those gaps when they are created by validated displacement. A bullish FVG forms when the current candle’s low is above the high from two candles ago, showing that price skipped a region without fully transacting through it. A bearish FVG forms when the current candle’s high is below the low from two candles ago. These gaps represent unfinished auction, a fast repricing that often leaves behind an inefficiency the market may later revisit to rebalance. You can choose to extend FVGs to the right for a set number of bars so you can see the levels well into the future, or you can keep them confined to the period when they formed. You can also choose whether mitigated FVGs remain visible or are hidden. Mitigation in this script means price has traded back into the gap far enough to invalidate it as an active inefficiency, and when that happens you can either keep it on the chart as historical context or remove it to keep your chart clean. The script also manages object limits by keeping only a user-defined maximum number of FVGs, trimming older ones as needed so the indicator remains stable. Reload Zones are derived directly from the FVGs and are built for execution. Instead of treating the entire gap as the same, the indicator highlights the portion of the imbalance that most often functions as the highest-quality retest area for continuation entries. For bullish FVGs, the Reload Zone is drawn as the upper portion of the gap, and for bearish FVGs it is drawn as the lower portion, which keeps your focus on the retest region that is closest to the direction of repricing and typically provides tighter invalidation. The indicator also includes an optional Invalidation line that marks the far edge of the full FVG, giving you a clean and consistent “line in the sand” for risk management. The intended use is straightforward, you wait for displacement to print and create an FVG, you allow price to retrace into the Reload Zone, and you look for rejection behavior that confirms responsive participation, such as wicks into the zone that close back out, sharp reaction candles, or structure holding in the direction of the displacement. When price accepts inside the zone with multiple closes and slow grind, that’s often a sign the inefficiency is being repaired rather than defended, and the reload entry loses quality. Because reload zones are tied to displacement-generated FVGs, they naturally filter out weaker imbalances and focus you on the kind created during true repricing. The Dealing Range tool provides context by defining a rolling high-to-low range over a user-defined lookback, then splitting that range into premium and discount. The indicator plots DR High, DR Low, and a DR Mid 50% line, and can optionally show PD 62% and PD 38% reference levels inside the range. The fill visually highlights premium above the midpoint and discount below it, which helps you avoid the most common retail mistake, buying in premium and selling in discount without a strong reason. The dealing range is not meant to be a rigid “support and resistance box.” It is meant to help you frame location. In general, long ideas have better location when price is in discount or reclaiming the midpoint with momentum, and short ideas have better location when price is in premium or rejecting the midpoint from below. This becomes especially powerful when combined with your other tools, because a bullish displacement and FVG that forms in discount and then holds the reload zone tends to have much better continuation odds than the same pattern forming at the very top of premium into overhead liquidity. CISD in this indicator is your liquidity-sweep and directional-shift engine, designed to answer a very specific question, did price just take liquidity and then flip orderflow enough to justify a new directional bias. The script first maps swing liquidity using pivot highs and pivot lows over your selected swing period, then tracks when those levels are wicked or mitigated within an expiry window. When a swing high or swing low is taken, the CISD logic watches for the characteristic shift pattern that follows, and when it qualifies it prints a CISD level and establishes a trend state. The “Noise Filter” setting controls how strict the CISD trigger is, higher values reduce noise and produce fewer but more meaningful CISDs, while lower values produce more signals but may include weaker shifts. The indicator also distinguishes between a normal CISD and a stronger CISD that occurs after opposing liquidity was recently wicked within your liquidity lookback, and those stronger events are marked with the directional ▲/▼ symbols so you can immediately recognize when a sweep-and-shift sequence likely occurred instead of a random flip. A key feature you asked for, and that this indicator includes, is that CISD levels can extend in a very controlled way so you can keep trading them without guessing where the level “ends.” The current timeframe CISD lines are drawn at the origin level and then the script can extend only the most recent X CISD lines out past the current bar by a user-defined number of bars, without creating gaps or redrawing incorrectly. This means your newest CISD levels remain visually “live” and tradable into the immediate future, while older CISDs automatically restore to their original endpoints and behave normally. This is important for execution because it keeps the focus on the levels that are most likely to matter now, while still preserving history without clutter. The MTF CISD add-on is what gives you institutional alignment, because it allows a higher timeframe CISD to print onto your execution timeframe. The script computes CISD on the selected HTF using request.security and then draws HTF CISD lines on your chart in real time. You can choose “Confirmed HTF only,” which means the HTF CISD only prints when the higher timeframe candle closes, or you can turn confirmation off to see developing HTF CISDs while the HTF candle is still building. The HTF line style is configurable, and the HTF lines can extend to the right so they behave like real mapped levels. The HTF label is also supported and can be pinned to the right edge with an x-offset, so you always know which timeframe the CISD came from without having to guess. Optional HTF markers can print ▲/▼ on the bar where a new HTF CISD event is detected, which gives you a fast “regime shift” alert that pairs extremely well with your displacement and FVG tools. CISD also includes a candle coloring option so you can visually trade the bias without constantly reading every label. You can keep candle coloring off, turn on an overlay candle layer using plot candle, or use bar color to recolor the native chart candles. The trend that drives candle color can be the current timeframe CISD trend or, if enabled, the HTF CISD trend so your execution timeframe candles reflect the higher timeframe shift. In the combined script, displacement bar coloring still has priority if you leave it enabled, meaning displacement bars will show your displacement color choice first, and the CISD candle coloring will apply where displacement is not overriding. That’s intentional, because displacement bars are “event bars,” while CISD coloring is “state,” and you want to see both without confusion. In terms of how to use CISD with the rest of this indicator, the cleanest institutional workflow is to treat CISD as the directional context and trigger, and use displacement, FVG, and Reload Zones as the execution framework. A fresh HTF CISD is your “macro shift” that tells you which side is likely building control, then you wait for displacement on your execution timeframe that agrees with that bias and produces an FVG. The Reload Zone becomes your location for entry on the retrace, BOS/CHOCH tells you if structure is truly transitioning or continuing, and your invalidation stays anchored to the far edge of the FVG or the CISD level depending on which is tighter and more structurally meaningful. When CISD and displacement disagree, that’s usually a “stand down or reduce size” condition unless you’re explicitly trading a reversal, because it often means the market is still in rotation or repairing imbalance rather than trending cleanly. The BOS and CHOCH tool is the structure confirmation layer. The indicator finds swing highs and swing lows using a pivot-based swing length and then plots structure lines at those pivots. Breaks are detected either by close or by wick, based on your setting. BOS, Break of Structure, signals continuation in the current structural regime, while CHOCH, Change of Character, signals a likely regime change. The indicator uses a simple internal state to differentiate BOS from CHOCH, so you can read structure shifts in real time rather than labeling everything as a generic “break.” You can display structure as lines, labels, or both. The lines extend until price breaks them, then they stop at the break so you can visually see exactly where the market transitioned. This module is especially useful for keeping you out of the trap of assuming a pullback is a reversal. If you see displacement and FVGs but no structural confirmation, you can reduce size or wait. If you see a CHOCH that aligns with a displacement shift and then price returns to a reload zone, you have a much higher quality reversal framework. When you put these tools together, the intended trading workflow becomes a complete narrative. First you identify meaningful movement through displacement, and if you use the structure filter you ensure it is not just a large candle but a break in the auction. That displacement then creates an FVG, the inefficiency left behind by repricing. The Reload Zone marks the most tradable retest area of that inefficiency, and the invalidation line gives you a clear risk boundary. The Dealing Range tells you whether you are taking that setup from a favorable location, discount for longs or premium for shorts. BOS and CHOCH provide the final confirmation layer that tells you whether you are trading continuation or a genuine structural shift. This structure keeps you from chasing breakouts, because it naturally trains you to wait for the pullback into the reload zone and to only participate when price proves acceptance and rejection behavior at the level. This indicator is built to be flexible. You can run it as a clean displacement plus imbalance tool by focusing on displacement, FVGs, and reload zones, or you can turn it into a full context-and-confirmation system by adding dealing range and BOS/CHOCH. If you want a high-signal, low-noise chart, keep the structure break requirement on, use close-based breaks, limit the number of active gaps, and hide mitigated gaps. If you want more sensitivity and earlier signals, use wick-based breaks and allow more gaps to remain visible. The goal is always the same, to help you see when the market is actually repricing, to mark the price areas where that repricing left unfinished business, and to give you a consistent way to execute retests with defined risk and clear structural context.

TPC-Buying and Selling areasTPC - Buying and Selling Areas Open-source multi-timeframe indicator that automatically detects and displays Supply (resistance) and Demand (support) zones based on swing structure, along with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) for imbalance visualization. Supports up to two higher timeframes (MTF) for Supply/Demand + optional current-chart or custom timeframe FVGs, with mitigation tracking, alerts, and a dashboard for FVG stats. Overview This tool helps identify key price areas where institutional buying/selling pressure may have accumulated (Supply/Demand zones) and inefficiencies/imbalances in price delivery (Fair Value Gaps). It plots: •Demand zones (potential support/buy areas) in green tones •Supply zones (potential resistance/sell areas) in red tones •Bullish/Bearish FVGs as filled or line areas (with dynamic or fixed extension options) •A simple FVG dashboard showing count and mitigation percentage Zones mitigate (disappear or mark as filled) when price closes/wicks through them. Designed for clean charts with configurable visibility, box pooling, and alerts on new zones or FVG events. How It Works (Conceptual) •Supply & Demand Zones •Uses pivot-based swing highs/lows from one or two user-selectable higher timeframes (or chart timeframe). •Detects structure breaks (e.g., higher highs/lows, lower highs/lows) near recent ATR range to form zones. •Zones drawn as extendable boxes with timeframe label, customizable borders/text. •Mitigation: Zones removed or marked when price breaches them (close or extreme/wick, configurable globally or per TF). •Only shows recent zones (user-defined "show last N") and cleans up on lower timeframes if desired. •Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) •Detects 3-candle imbalances where price gaps aggressively (low > high for bullish, high < low for bearish, with optional size threshold). •Plots as semi-transparent boxes (fixed extend) or dynamic fills that adjust with price. •Tracks mitigation (when price fills the gap) and optionally draws dashed mitigation lines. •Shows unmitigated recent FVGs as lines + dashboard stats (total count, % mitigated for bull/bear). •Multi-timeframe logic uses request.security() for higher TFs, with careful handling for display on lower charts. See the code for full pivot detection, array management, mitigation loops, and FVG conditions. How to Use •Best on volatile/liquid markets (crypto, forex, indices, futures) across intraday to daily timeframes. •Use Demand zones (green) as potential long entries or support flips when price approaches from above. •Use Supply zones (red) as potential short entries or resistance when price approaches from below. •FVGs highlight inefficiencies: bullish FVGs often act as magnets/pullbacks in uptrends; bearish in downtrends. •Combine with higher-timeframe bias (e.g., show HTF zones on LTF chart) for confluence. •Alerts fire on: new demand/supply zone, new bullish/bearish FVG, or FVG mitigation. •Keep "Show only on lower timeframes" enabled to avoid clutter on HTF charts. •Adjust "Box Size" (pool) if you hit max_boxes limit on very long histories. Settings General Settings •Hide all Demand / Supply zones •Show S&D only on lower TFs •S&D Box Size (pool limit, default 80) •Mitigate on Close or Wick/Extreme Timeframe 1 & Timeframe 2 (identical groups) •Set to chart timeframe (or custom) •Show Demand/Supply •Alerts for new zones •Timeframe multiplier + period (Min/Hour/Day/Week/Month) •Swing Length for pivots •Border type/width, text size/color •Demand/Supply colors •Show last N zones per type FVG Settings •Threshold % (min gap size) or Auto •Unmitigated levels to show •Mitigation levels (dashed lines) •FVG Timeframe (blank = chart) FVG Style •Extend bars •Dynamic fill (adjusts with price) •Bullish/Bearish colors FVG Dashboard •Show dashboard •Location (Top Right etc.) •Text size Notes / Limitations •Non-repainting after bar close (uses confirmed pivots/security data). •Heavy on boxes/lines — increase pool size carefully (TradingView limits apply). •FVGs can fill quickly in ranging markets; use with structure/context. •Always backtest and combine with your analysis — not financial advice, trading carries risk. •Open-source: feel free to fork, improve, or learn from it.

TCT OBIF Detector█ OVERVIEW The OBIF (Order Block Imbalance Fill) indicator automatically detects and visualizes high-probability trading zones by combining two powerful Smart Money Concepts: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). An OBIF occurs when an Order Block forms immediately before a Fair Value Gap, creating a zone of institutional interest that price often revisits before continuing its move. █ CONCEPTS Order Block (OB) An Order Block is the last opposing candle before a strong directional move. It represents an area where institutional traders likely placed orders. - Bullish OB: Last bearish candle before an up-move - Bearish OB: Last bullish candle before a down-move Fair Value Gap (FVG) An FVG is a price imbalance created when a candle's body completely gaps past the previous candle's range, leaving an unfilled area. - Bullish FVG: Gap up where candle .low > candle .high - Bearish FVG: Gap down where candle .high < candle .low OBIF Zone When an Order Block directly precedes an FVG, it creates an OBIF - a confluence zone with higher probability of acting as support/resistance. █ HOW TO USE 1. Identify the Trend Use OBIFs in the direction of the higher timeframe trend for best results. 2. Wait for Price to Return OBIFs act as magnets - price often returns to fill the imbalance and test the order block. 3. Look for Confirmation When price enters an OBIF zone, look for: - Rejection wicks - Engulfing patterns - Break of structure on lower timeframes 4. Mitigation Once price fully trades through the OBIF (touches the opposite edge), the zone is considered mitigated and loses its significance. █ FEATURES - Automatic Detection — Identifies OBIFs in real-time as they form - Visual Zones — Clean, non-intrusive boxes that don't obscure price action - Mitigation Tracking — Zones automatically update when price mitigates them - Multi-Timeframe Friendly — Works on any timeframe from 1m to Monthly - Customizable — Adjust colors, opacity, and display preferences █ SETTINGS - Lookback Window — How many candles back to search for the Order Block (default: 3) - Show Bullish/Bearish — Toggle visibility of each type - Show Mitigated — Display zones that have been mitigated (shown in gray) - Fill Opacity — Adjust zone transparency (higher = more see-through) - Border Width — Thickness of zone borders █ BEST PRACTICES ✓ Use on higher timeframes (1H+) for more reliable zones ✓ Combine with market structure analysis ✓ Look for OBIFs at key support/resistance levels ✓ Use lower timeframe confirmation for entries ✗ Don't trade every OBIF blindly ✗ Avoid OBIFs against the dominant trend █ CREDITS The Composite Trader (TCT) methodologies.

Order Blocks Zones with Signals█ OVERVIEW “Order Blocks Zones with Signals” is a technical analysis tool that automatically identifies Order Blocks (OB) and optionally Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart. The script visualizes these zones as colored rectangles, offering full customization of style, transparency, and signal display. It also generates entry and exit signals (Break & Exit) that can serve as confirmations in strategies based on price action and market structure. Thanks to flexible candle size filters and rich visual options, the indicator maintains chart clarity and readability. █ CONCEPTS Order Blocks (OB) are key zones on the chart where significant price movements previously occurred — areas where large market participants (institutions, so-called smart money) initiated or closed positions. An OB is the last candle that followed the prior trend before the market reversed (e.g., for a Bullish OB: the last bearish candle before a pivot low and a strong upward impulse). The script detects these levels using local price pivots, analyzing candle direction to filter out less significant movements. FVG (Fair Value Gaps) represent areas of imbalance between buyers and sellers — price gaps formed by a sharp impulse where full trading did not occur due to one-sided order dominance (e.g., excess buy or sell orders). Why combine OB and FVG in one indicator? Combining OB and FVG analysis is essential because these phenomena often occur sequentially in the institutional market cycle: 1. Order Block — institutions enter the market in the OB zone, absorbing orders and building positions. 2. Strong impulse — after smart money entry, a rapid price move creates an FVG (imbalance gap). 3. Retest — price naturally returns to these zones (OB or FVG), drawn by unfilled orders and the search for equilibrium. Such areas strongly attract price, as they represent not only historical institutional levels but also open “holes” in the order book. Retests of OB and FVG are ideal entry opportunities with high reaction probability (rebound or breakout). The indicator combines these two interconnected elements, enabling comprehensive market structure analysis in a single tool. Order Blocks are labeled as: Bullish OB – demand zones, often accumulation areas before an upmove. Bearish OB – supply zones, signaling potential impulse end or correction start. █ FEATURES Order Block Detection (OB Detection): - Automatic identification of demand and supply zones based on pivots. - OB is the last candle aligned with the prior trend, just before the market reversal — precisely identified through candle sequence analysis around the pivot. - OB zones appear with a delay equal to Pivot Length (default 10 bars). - Break signals trigger when a candle’s body (close) fully pierces the zone, causing the zone to disappear immediately (e.g., close < low of Bullish OB → Break Down and zone deletion). - Minimum size filtering via OB Size Multiplier. - Option to create OB without wicks (Include Wicks in OB): when disabled, OB zones are based solely on candle bodies (open/close), ignoring wicks (high/low). Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG Detection): - Optional, with enable/disable capability. - FVG are detected without delay — immediately upon gap occurrence. - Size filtering via Candle Size Period and FVG Size Multiplier. Customizable Styling: - Separate colors and border styles (Solid / Dashed / Dotted) for each zone type. - Adjustable transparency and border thickness. - Unified color for box, border, and signal of the same type. Breakout and Exit Signals: - Break Up – triggered when a candle’s close breaks above a Bearish OB, causing the zone to disappear. - Break Down – triggered when a candle’s close breaks below a Bullish OB, causing the zone to disappear. - Exit Up / Exit Down – temporary exit from the zone without full breakout (price leaves the zone but doesn’t close beyond it). Signal type selection: Break, Exit, or Both. - Alerts: built-in alerts for all signal types — triggered automatically on candle close confirming breakout or exit from OB. █ HOW TO USE Adding to chart: import the code into Pine Editor and run the script on TradingView. Settings configuration: - Pivot Length: controls swing detection sensitivity and OB display delay (default 10). - Include Wicks in OB: enabled (default) – OB includes wicks; disabled – OB uses bodies only. - Size Filter: adjust Candle Size Period and OB/FVG Size Multiplier to filter out small zones. - Colors & Styles: set colors, styles, and transparency for each zone type. - Signal Type: choose which signals to display (Break, Exit, or Both). Signal interpretation: - OB Break Up: price closes above Bearish OB → zone disappears → potential bullish continuation. - OB Break Down: price closes below Bullish OB → zone disappears → potential bearish continuation. - Exit Signals: price leaves the zone temporarily without breakout — often signals impending reversal or pullback. Tips: - Use OB signals alongside other indicators like RSI, MACD, SMI, or trend filters. - Order Blocks from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) carry greater significance and reaction strength. - Remember: FVG are detected immediately, OB with delay — a complementary approach! █ APPLICATIONS - Smart Money Concepts (SMC): use OB zones as dynamic support and resistance levels. In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities in bullish OBs, which price often retests before further gains. Combining with RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci levels enhances zone significance, confirming institutional demand. - Breakout Trading: trade based on OB breakout signals. A buy signal after breaking a bearish OB may indicate a strong upward impulse, especially if supported by rising MACD or RSI above 50. Similarly for sell signals after Break Down. - Reversal Zones: Exit signals may indicate the end of a move or correction. Safest to use in alignment with higher-timeframe trend and confirmed by another indicator (e.g., RSI divergence, Fibonacci levels). - Confluence Analysis: combine OB and FVG for deeper market structure and equilibrium insight. When an Order Block overlaps or borders an FVG, we get confluence of two institutional phenomena — OB (smart money entry) + FVG (imbalance) — making these areas particularly strong price magnets, increasing retest and reaction probability. █ NOTES - FVG can be fully disabled for a cleaner chart view. - In consolidation periods, signals may appear more frequently — always confirm with additional trend filters. - Works on all markets and timeframes (crypto, forex, indices, stocks).

FVG + Bank Level Targeting w/ Alert TriggerDescription: FVG + Bank Level Targeting w/ Alert Trigger is an intraday trading tool that combines Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection with dynamic institutional targeting using prior-day, weekly, and monthly high/low "Bank Levels." When a Fair Value Gap is detected, the script projects a logical target using the closest bank level in price's direction, and visually extends that level on your chart. This tool is designed to help traders anticipate where price is most likely to move after an FVG appears — and alert them when price breaks through key target zones. How It Works: * Bank Level Calculation: The indicator calculates Daily, Weekly, and Monthly high and low levels from the previous bar of each respective timeframe. These are optionally plotted on the chart with a slight tick offset to avoid overlap with price. * FVG Detection: Bullish FVGs are defined by a gap between the low of the current candle and the high two candles prior, with a confirming middle candle. Bearish FVGs follow the reverse pattern. Once detected, the script finds the nearest unbroken institutional level (Bank Level) in the direction of the FVG and anchors a target line at that price level. * Target Line Projection: The script draws a persistent horizontal line (not just a plotted value) at the selected bank level. These lines automatically extend a set number of bars into the future for clarity and trade planning. * Breakout Detection: When price crosses above a Bull Target or below a Bear Target, the script triggers a breakout condition. These breakouts are useful for trade continuation or reversal setups. * Alerts: Built-in alert conditions notify you in real time when price crosses above or below a target. These can be used to set TradingView alerts for your preferred Futures symbols or intraday pairs. Parameters: Tick Offset Multiplier: Adds distance between price and plotted levels. Show Daily/Weekly/Monthly Levels: Toggle for each institutional level group. FVG Extend Right (bars): Controls how far the target lines extend into the future. Color Controls: Customize colors for FVG fill and target lines. Use Case: This indicator is designed for traders who want to: Trade continuation or reversal moves around institutional price zones Integrate Fair Value Gap concepts with more logical, historically anchored price targets Trigger alerts when market structure evolves around key levels It is especially useful for intraday Futures traders on the 15-minute chart or lower, but adapts well to any instrument with strong reactionary behavior at prior session highs/lows.

Fair Value MSThis indicator introduces rigid rules to familiar concepts to better capture and visualize Market Structure and Areas of Support and Resistance in a way that is both rule-based and reactive to market movements. Typical "Market Structure" or "Zig-Zag" methods determine swing points based on fixed thresholds (length or percentage). While this does provide rigid structure, the results may be lagging or confusing due to the timing, since it is fixed to static parameters. I believe the concept of Fair Value Gaps can solve this problem. As you will notice, there are no length settings in this indicator. > FVG Market Structure Fair Value Gaps are a well known concept used to indicate directional intent, forming when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind an imbalance between buyers and sellers. While the term FVG was popularized by ICT, the underlying concept predates them, known historically as imbalances, inefficiencies, or liquidity voids in institutional trading. Note: For simplicity, in this indicator they'll be called FVGs. By reading into this, we are able to clearly and rigidly define market structure simply by "looking" at the chart, using objective price events rather than subjective interpretation, or lengths. By using FVGs to determine structure direction, the length, and speed of identification lies entirely on the market. If an FVG Down occurs immediately after a New Higher High forms, it is reasonable to assume there was a seller at that point, so the script would indicate a New Swing High. The script is NOT stuck, waiting for a % retrace, or # bars to pass to identify it as such. Sometimes the market is in a steady trend in a single direction and no FVGs form; therefore, no structure forms. -> Why would we try to impose structure on a clear trend? Ultimately, the FVG Structure Method uses real reactions from the market to determine Market structure, and is not fixed to specific parameters. As with other market structure indicators, "Market Structure Breaks" are still identifiable when price moves outside the most recent swing points. These are helpful to indicate larger direction. In the following section you will see how these help us determine when we should start the search for an "Area of Interest (AOI)". > Areas of Interest (AOIs) "Area of Interest (AOI)" is a generalized term, and could refer to many types of zones you might recognize under different names. While the AOIs in this indicator are specialized in their own way, I have chosen to simply use the term "Area of Interest" because it’s more important to understand how they behave and why they exist than to focus on what they’re called. The goal of an AOI is to point out reasonable areas where buyers or sellers may be staging, as is typical with support and resistance. In order to reasonably identify these areas, we look for cause and effect relationships. When considering these relationships, it's easier to understand the placement of the points to define each zone. (Buyer Examples) Cause: Strong Buyers step in at Swing Low Effect: Fair Value Gap Forms Cause: Sustained Buying Pressure Effect: Market Structure Breaks In this example, The zone is drawn from the Swing Low, to the Bottom of the FVG closest to the swing point. In theory, the participation at the swing point was strong and aggressive enough to create the FVG imbalance. Which then found acceptance and continued into a Market Structure Break. So with these AOIs, we are trying to locate the aggressive Buyers or Sellers which were positioned BEFORE the FVG. These Zones are intended to act as areas to look for reactions from market participants, to judge where price may be going. When revisiting these zones, we look for a reaction or a break, to further provide us information to if the buyers or sellers are still there. As seen in the screenshot above, The information we gain is not from the creation of these zones, but from the behavior we witness when these zones are revisited. Technical Note: In this indicator, Market Structure Breaks are only considered when price closes outside the recent swing points. Wicks are not considered as confirmation, therefore are not used to detect structural breaks. Inside each AOI you can optionally display a readout of the volume which accumulated during the time starting at the swing point and going until the closing bar of the FVG. Note: We are counting volume until the closing bar of the FVG since the FVG is a 3 bar formation, and aggressive volume is required throughout to create the imbalance. There are multiple FVGs that typically occur in a single direction, but we do not look to every single one to be indicative of structure, only the first FVG in the opposite direction of the previous direction (which is determined by previous FVGs) You will probably notice, the AOIs do not form from the closest swing or FVG to the break, this is because we are targeting larger directional changes to draw these AOIs from. Since they do not always happen perfectly every time, the AOI formation waits for an FVG to occur AND a Market structure break to happen. One without the other will result in no Zone displaying. > Reflection Lines While they may seem slightly redundant, Reflection Lines serve as reminders of previous support and resistance pivots. They are drawn at the same Pivots where and AOI is formed, and extend beyond the mitigation of the AOI. These lines are often points of price to look for "Support Flips", a re-test pattern where price trades through previous support (or resistance) then returns to it and rejects, continuing into a larger move or trend. Their namesake is based on the behavior of price, "reflecting" at these levels. The Reflection lines are simple and change color based on price's location. If price is above, we would typically look to a reflection line in with support in mind. As a basic filter, these lines use an average price to determine their color, this way they will not change their color as frequently in choppy situations. > Session Start/End Lines For analysis purposes and trade review, it is helpful to analyze with context. For that reason, I have implemented start and end session lines into the indicator, these are helpful when reviewing historical charts to not provide additional context. By default, they are set to the NYSE Session, but can be changed to fit any needs. These lines are not advanced, and simply draw a line as the chart passes the start and end of the sessions. It's very likely that you may need to adjust the session for your specific needs. Note: The Timezone can be adjusted within the code if needed. By Default, the indicator uses "America/New_York" Timezone. > Conclusion If you’ve ever felt like your structure tools were confusing or lagging, drawing zones too late, or zones that simply don't make sense, this should feel like a breath of fresh air. By removing arbitrary length settings and instead using FVGs to define structure and as a basis for AOIs, you're getting a more accurate look at what price is doing and where it's reacting from. This indicator is rule-based, reactive, and aims to keep things logical without fluff or false confidence. Enjoy!

MTF Candles [Fadi x MMT]MTF Candles Overview The MTF Candles indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who want to visualize higher timeframe (HTF) candles directly on their current chart. Built with flexibility and precision in mind, this Pine Script indicator displays up to six higher timeframe candles, complete with customizable styling, sweeps, midpoints, fair value gaps (FVGs), volume imbalances, and trace lines. It’s perfect for multi-timeframe analysis, helping traders identify key levels, market structure, and potential trading opportunities with ease. Key Features - Multi-Timeframe Candles : Display up to six higher timeframe candles (e.g., 5m, 15m, 30m, 4H, 1D, 1W) on your chart, with configurable timeframes and visibility. - Sweeps Detection : Identify liquidity sweeps (highs/lows) with customizable line styles, widths, and colors, plus optional alerts for confirmed bullish or bearish sweeps. - Midpoint Lines : Plot the midpoint (average of high and low) of the previous HTF candle, with customizable color, width, and style for enhanced market analysis. - Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) : Highlight gaps between non-adjacent candles, indicating potential areas of interest for price action. - Volume Imbalances : Detect and display volume imbalances between adjacent candles, aiding in spotting significant price levels. - Trace Lines : Connect HTF candle open, close, high, and low prices to their respective chart bars, with customizable styles and optional price labels. - Custom Daily Open Times : Support for custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30) to align with specific market sessions. - Dynamic Labels : Show timeframe names, remaining time until the next HTF candle, and interval labels (e.g., day of the week for daily candles) with adjustable positions and sizes. - Highly Customizable : Fine-tune candle appearance, spacing, padding, and visual elements to suit your trading style. How It Works The indicator renders HTF candles as boxes (bodies) and lines (wicks) on the right side of the chart, with each timeframe offset for clarity. It dynamically updates candles in real-time, tracks their highs and lows, and displays sweeps and midpoints when conditions are met. FVGs and volume imbalances are calculated based on candle relationships, and trace lines link HTF candle levels to their originating bars on the chart. Sweep Logic - A bearish sweep occurs when the current candle’s high exceeds the previous candle’s high, but the close is below it. - A bullish sweep occurs when the current candle’s low falls below the previous candle’s low, but the close is above it. - Sweeps are visualized as horizontal lines and can trigger alerts when confirmed on the next candle. Midpoint Logic - A midpoint line is drawn at the average of the previous HTF candle’s high and low, extending until the next HTF candle forms. - Useful for identifying potential support/resistance or mean reversion levels. Imbalance Detection - FVGs : Identified when a candle’s low is above the next-but-one candle’s high (or vice versa), indicating a price gap. - Volume Imbalances : Detected between adjacent candles where the body of one candle doesn’t overlap with the next, signaling potential liquidity zones. Settings Timeframe Settings - HTF 1–6 : Enable/disable up to six higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 30m, 4H, 1D, 1W) and set the maximum number of candles to display per timeframe (default: 4). - Limit to Next HTFs : Restrict the number of active timeframes (1–6). Styling - Body, Border, Wick Colors : Customize bull and bear candle colors (default: light gray for bulls, dark gray for bears). - Candle Width : Adjust the width of HTF candles (1–4). - Padding and Spacing : Set the offset from the current price action and spacing between candles and timeframes. Label Settings - HTF Label : Show/hide timeframe labels (e.g., "15m", "4H") at the top/bottom of candle sets. - Remaining Time : Display the countdown to the next HTF candle. Interval Value: Show day of the week for daily candles or time for intraday candles. - Label Position/Alignment : Choose to display labels at the top, bottom, or both, and align them with the highest/lowest candles or follow individual candle sets. Imbalance Settings - Fair Value Gap : Enable/disable FVGs with customizable color (default: semi-transparent gray). - Volume Imbalance : Enable/disable volume imbalances with customizable color (default: semi-transparent red). Trace Settings - Trace Lines : Enable/disable lines connecting HTF candle levels to their chart bars, with customizable colors, styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and sizes. - Price Labels : Show price levels for open, close, high, and low trace lines. - Anchor : Choose whether trace lines anchor to the first or last enabled timeframe. Sweep Settings - Show Sweeps : Enable/disable sweep detection and visualization. - Sweep Line : Customize color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted). - Sweep Alert : Enable alerts for confirmed sweeps. Midpoint Settings - Show Midpoint : Enable/disable midpoint lines. - Midpoint Line : Customize color (default: orange), width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted). Custom Daily Open Custom Daily Candle Open : Choose between Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30 (America/New_York) for daily candle opens. Usage - Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. - Configure the desired higher timeframes (HTF 1–6) and enable/disable features via the settings panel. - Adjust styling, labels, and spacing to match your chart preferences. Use sweeps, midpoints, FVGs, and volume imbalances to identify key levels for trading decisions. - Enable sweep alerts to receive notifications for confirmed liquidity sweeps. Notes Performance: The indicator is optimized for up to 500 boxes, lines, and labels, with a maximum of 5000 bars back. Can be slow at a time Time Zone: Custom daily opens use the America/New_York time zone for consistency with major financial markets. Compatibility: Ensure selected HTFs are valid (higher than the chart’s timeframe and divisible by it for intraday periods).

Price Ranged FVG📌 Price Ranged FVG Is a clean and efficient tool designed to detect Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with adjustable filters and structural context. It’s especially useful for traders looking to filter out insignificant gaps and focus on high-probability areas, particularly around swing breaks or structural shifts. 🧠 What is a Fair Value Gap (FVG)? A Fair Value Gap appears when there’s a price imbalance between candles — typically after a strong move — where the market skips over certain price levels without trading there. These zones can act as potential areas for price to return to (mean reversion), or serve as support/resistance depending on market structure. 🔍 FVG Detection Types You can choose between three different detection modes under the "FVG Detection" input: Same Type: Only detects FVGs where the last 3 candles are in the same direction (all bullish or all bearish). All: Detects any FVG, regardless of candle direction. Twin Close: Detects FVGs only when the last two candles are in the same direction and close accordingly — offering a stricter confirmation. 🎯 FVG % Filters To filter out noise or insignificant gaps, this indicator includes: Minimum FVG % Filter: Ignores FVGs smaller than your specified percentage of the current close. Maximum FVG % Filter: Ignores overly large gaps that may be unreliable or caused by anomalies. These filters help focus on relevant FVGs that are more likely to act as reaction zones. 🏛 Structural Context (Swing Highs and Lows) The indicator plots swing highs and swing lows with dots to provide structure-based context: Set Swing Strength to 3 for detecting internal structure (shorter-term moves). Use a higher setting like 5 to focus on external structure (more significant highs/lows). These levels can help you determine whether an FVG is forming within a consolidation, breakout, or key structural transition. ✅ Use Case (My Personal Workflow) I personally use this indicator to: Filter out weak or irrelevant FVGs using the % filters. Watch for price interaction at swing breaks — especially when an FVG aligns with a break in internal or external structure. Refine entry and exit planning in confluence with other tools or strategies. ⚠️ Disclaimer This indicator is not financial advice. It is a technical analysis tool intended to support your own decision-making process. Always do your own research and risk management.

It overlays on price charts and provides visual tools for identifying key institutional trading behaviors. 🎯 Purpose This script is designed to help traders analyze and trade using SMC principles by automatically detecting: Order Blocks (OBs) Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) Breaks of Structure (BoS) Liquidity Sweeps (Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Grabs) Mitigation Entries ⚙️ Inputs / Settings Show Fair Value Gaps: Toggle FVGs on/off Higher Timeframe (HTF): Choose HTF for OB analysis Use HTF OBs: Switch between current TF OBs and HTF OBs Show Order Blocks: Toggle OBs on/off Show OB Mitigation Entries: Toggle mitigation entry signals on/off 🧠 Core Logic Overview 🔹 1. Swing Points Detection Identifies swing highs/lows using a 3-bar pattern (pivot-based structure). 🔹 2. Break of Structure (BoS) A bullish BoS happens when price closes above the last swing high. A bearish BoS occurs when price closes below the last swing low. 🔹 3. Order Block Detection Upon BoS, the script marks the previous candle as the Order Block. Uses either: Current TF OBs (based on price action) HTF OBs (based on candle body direction) 🔹 4. Mitigation Entry Logic A mitigation occurs when price returns to the OB and reacts with confirmation: Bullish: price dips into OB and closes above Bearish: price wicks into OB and closes below Plots entry markers for these mitigations. 🔹 5. Liquidity Sweeps Detects equal highs/lows (liquidity zones) Marks Buy SL when price dips below an equal low then closes above Marks Sell SL when price breaks above an equal high then closes below 🔹 6. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) FVG Up: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (low > high ) FVG Down: Gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (high < low ) Plots highlighted boxes on these gaps 📊 Visual Elements Boxes: For OB zones and FVGs Shapes: Labels: OB Buy/Sell entries Triangles: Buy SL / Sell SL liquidity sweeps Lines: Equal Highs and Lows 🔔 Alerts Built-in alerts to notify when: OB entries are confirmed Liquidity sweeps happen Helps in automation or active monitoring ✅ Ideal For Traders using SMC, ICT concepts, Wyckoff, or institutional trading models Anyone wanting to automate detection of structural elements on their chart

TR FVG & Swing High Low FinderTR FVG & Swing Level Finder Overview: The TR FVG & Swing Level Finder is a powerful Pine Script indicator designed for traders who want to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Swing Highs/Lows on their charts. This indicator combines two essential technical analysis tools into one, helping traders spot potential areas of support, resistance, and trend reversals. FVGs are price gaps that often act as areas of interest for price to return to, while swing highs and lows help identify key turning points in the market. The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust colors, limits, and display options to suit their trading style. Key Features: 1: Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection: - Identifies Bullish FVGs: Occur when the high of two candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle, indicating a potential upward price movement. - Identifies Bearish FVGs: Occur when the low of two candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle, indicating a potential downward price movement. - Displays FVGs as colored boxes on the chart, with customizable border and fill colors based on the timeframe. - Labels each FVG box with the corresponding timeframe (e.g., "1m FVG", "1h FVG", "Daily FVG"). 2: Swing High and Swing Low Detection: - Detects Swing Highs: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's high is higher than the highs of the candles on either side. - Detects Swing Lows: A 3-candle pattern where the middle candle's low is lower than the lows of the candles on either side. - Draws a solid black line with 50% opacity at each swing high and low, extending 5 bars to the right for better visibility. - Adds a small Swing High or Swing Low label at the right end of each line, colored according to user-defined settings. 3: Timeframe-Specific FVG Visualization: - FVGs are color-coded based on the chart's timeframe, making it easy to distinguish between FVGs on different timeframes. - Each timeframe has its own fill color for bullish and bearish FVGs, with adjustable transparency for better chart clarity. - A dashed black line is drawn in the middle of each FVG box to highlight the midpoint of the gap. 4: Customizable Display Options: - FVG Limit: Control the maximum number of FVGs displayed on the chart (from 1 to 20). - Extend Options for FVG Boxes: - "None": FVG boxes extend only 2 bars to the right. - "Limited": FVG boxes extend a user-defined number of candles to the right (1 to 100 candles). - "Default": FVG boxes extend 3 bars to the right of the current bar. - Color Customization: - Set border colors for bullish and bearish FVGs. - Adjust fill colors for FVGs on different timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly). - Customize the colors of swing high and swing low labels. 5: Performance Optimization: - The indicator only plots FVGs and swings on the last confirmed bar (barstate.islastconfirmedhistory), ensuring efficient performance and reducing chart clutter. - Limits the number of displayed FVGs and swings to the user-defined fvgLimit, keeping the chart clean and focused on the most recent price action. 6: Inputs and Customization: - Number of FVGs to Show (fvgLimit): Set the maximum number of FVGs and swings to display (default: 3, range: 1 to 20). - Bullish FVG Border Color (bullishColor): Choose the border color for bullish FVGs (default: green). - Bearish FVG Border Color (bearishColor): Choose the border color for bearish FVGs (default: red). - Swing High Color (swingHighColor): Set the color for swing high labels (default: blue). - Swing Low Color (swingLowColor): Set the color for swing low labels (default: purple). - Extend Options: - Extend Option (extendOption): Choose how far FVG boxes extend to the right ("None", "Limited", or "Default"; default: "Default"). - Extend Candles (extendCandles): If "Limited" is selected, specify the number of candles to extend FVG boxes (default: 8, range: 1 to 100). - Timeframe-Specific Fill Colors: - Customize fill colors for bullish and bearish FVGs on various timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, Daily, Weekly, Monthly). - Each fill color has a default transparency (e.g., 93% for most timeframes, 90% for 30m), which can be adjusted as needed. How to Use: 1: Add the Indicator to Your Chart: - Open TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, and paste the script. - Click "Add to Chart" to apply the indicator to your current chart. 2: Adjust Settings: - Open the indicator settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name on your chart. - Modify the inputs to suit your preferences: - Set the number of FVGs and swings to display. - Choose your preferred colors for FVGs and swings. - Adjust the extend options for FVG boxes. 3: Interpret the Indicator: - FVG Boxes: Look for colored boxes on the chart, which represent Fair Value Gaps. Bullish FVGs (green borders by default) suggest potential buying opportunities, while bearish FVGs (red borders by default) suggest potential selling opportunities. The label inside each box indicates the timeframe of the FVG. - Swing Highs and Lows: Identify key turning points with solid black lines (50% opacity) at swing highs and lows. Each line extends 5 bars to the right, with an "SH" (Swing High) or "SL" (Swing Low) label at the end. Swing highs can act as resistance levels, while swing lows can act as support levels. 4: Combine with Your Strategy: - Use FVGs to identify areas where price might return to fill the gap, often acting as support or resistance. - Use swing highs and lows to spot potential trend reversals or to set stop-loss and take-profit levels. - Combine the indicator with other tools (e.g., trendlines, moving averages) for a more comprehensive trading strategy. Notes: - The indicator works on all timeframes, but the appearance of FVGs and swings will vary depending on the chart's timeframe. - For best results, use the indicator on a clean chart to avoid visual clutter, especially if you increase the fvgLimit. - The swing high/low lines are drawn with 50% opacity to ensure they don’t overpower other chart elements, but they are still clearly visible. Author’s Note: This script was developed to help traders identify key price levels with ease. I hope it adds value to your trading! If you have any feedback or suggestions for improvement, feel free to leave a comment. Happy trading!
