4-EMA Signals + MTF Analysis4-EMA Signals + MTF Analysis Indicator: User Guide
This indicator is designed for active traders; from scalpers / intra-day traders to swing-traders who simply want an easy to understand, simple, but yet comprehensive and easy-to-understand indicator with a quick overview of initial market momentum and overall market direction to assist the trader in their initial trading.
The main feature of this indicator is that It overlays four exponential moving averages (EMAs), and provides a dashboard of real-time trend signals for both buy and sell (long/short) scenarios.
Settings Overview
MA Period Setup
Custom: Set your own EMA periods.
Conservative, Aggressive, Fibonacci: Quickly apply preset EMA period combinations for different trading styles.
EMA Periods (Custom Setup)
Fast EMA: Shortest EMA, reacts quickly to price (default 7).
Medium-Short EMA: Intermediate speed (default 25).
Medium-Long EMA: Slower, filters out more noise (default 70).
Slow EMA: Longest-term trend (default 200).
(These settings can be adjusted to suit your individual needs)
Main Indicator Features
Four EMAs : Plotted in distinct colors (green, yellow, orange, red) for quick trend recognition - this can be altered in colour to your personal preferences.
Buy/Sell Signals : Triangles appear below/above bars when EMA crossovers occur, optionally filtered by volume - the volume filter when applied greatly reduces the influx of signals, only giving high-quality signals!
Trading Sessions + Backgrounds : A trading session feature has been added: (London, New York, Asia, Sydney) with the choice of a background to indicate each global trading session.
Volume Overlay : Volume bars and a blue volume moving average line for context.
Dashboard Table (Top Right):
Market Direction: Shows the overall EMA alignment (bullish, bearish, weak, consolidating).
The initial trend on the 5m, 15m, 1H, and 4H time-frame to give a quick snapshot of overall trend direction.
How to Use
Trend Identification :
-- Use the EMA alignment and dashboard table to quickly see if the market is bullish, bearish, or consolidating.
EMA Set-up
-- Adjust the EMA settings to your specific requirements, the signals will alter depending on the volatility of the instrument your trading.
Signal Confirmation :
-- ''Buy'' signals simply appear when the faster EMAs cross above slower EMAs in and ''Sell'' signals simply appear when they cross below.
Volume Context :
--Use the volume moving average and the optional volume filter to avoid signals during low-activity periods.
No Repainting :
-- All signals and dashboard readings are calculated using only confirmed, closed bars. What you see in real time is exactly what will appear in your back-test — no repainting or look-ahead bias.
Alerts / Notifications
Now for the fun part:
1. Enable Buy/Sell Signal Alerts: Get notifications when buy or sell signals occur.
2. For Alerts to function correctly, set the ''condition'' to the indicator itself.
3. Select ''EMA Bearish Cross'' or ''EMA Bullish Cross'' depending whether you want alerts for either buy/sell signals - Or one can simply set alerts for both scenarios.
4. For ''Interval'' set to ''Same as chart'' - So, the time-frame which you'd like to trade on.
5. For ''Trigger'' set to ''Once Per Bar Close''.
6. Save.
7. Wait for a signal to occur!
NOTE: Before placing a trade, it's often best to also assess the market conditions at that time also - and not rely solely on the signals, the signals are to assist, and it's often occurred a signal has shown, but a pull-back occurs, and a FVG in discount holds -- it's this FVG holding, accompanied by volume, that's the real entry, possibly.
Tip: For the cleanest results, use the indicator during the most active sessions and always check multi-time-frame trend alignment before entering trades. Good Luck! :)

CandelaCharts - Unicorn Model📝 Overview
The Unicorn Model is an advanced indicator that pinpoints high-probability reversal setups based on the ICT Unicorn formation. It uses a zigzag-based structure to detect engineered liquidity grabs followed by sharp displacements in the opposite direction—ideal for fade entries or the start of new trends.
The indicator is enhanced with macro time filters, allowing it to align model detections with key trading sessions and institutional flow windows.
The ICT Unicorn Model is a precision-driven intraday strategy rooted in smart money concepts. It combines time-of-day sensitivity, engineered liquidity runs, and institutional order flow to uncover high-quality trading opportunities.
📦 Features
Liquidity Levels: Projects forward-looking liquidity zones after a Unicorn model is confirmed, highlighting potential price targets. These zones act as magnet areas where price is likely to be drawn, helping traders manage exits, partials, and re-entries with greater precision.
Unicorn: The Unicorn formation utilizes a smart money framework and a dynamic zigzag detection method to identify engineered liquidity grabs—sharp sweeps of previous highs or lows—followed by impulsive reversals.
Macros: These time-based intervals represent key moments when institutional algorithms are most active, seeking liquidity, rebalancing, or delivering price to key levels like fair value gaps and liquidity pools.
Custom TF Pairing: Choose your preferred combination of entry timeframe and context timeframe. For example, trade 5m setups within a 1h HTF bias, allowing precise alignment of microstructure with broader directional intent.
HTF & LTF PD Arrays: Displays high- and low-timeframe PD Arrays (e.g., Fair Value Gaps, Inversion Fair Value Gaps) that act as zones of interest or rejection, enhancing confluence and risk control.
History: Backtest previous Unicorn setups directly on the chart. Toggle historical models to analyze past behavior, improve your confidence, and fine-tune your trade execution across varying market regimes.
Killzone Filter: Restrict signal generation to specific trading sessions or killzones (e.g., London Open, New York AM). This minimizes false positives in low-volume or overlapping ranges.
Standard Deviation: Dynamically calculates and plots four deviation bands from the model confirmation point. These levels offer insight into stretch targets, volatility bands, and potential mean-reversion zones.
Dashboard: A real-time control panel showing the active model, HTF candle timer, current directional bias, asset name, and session date—offering clarity and fast decision-making at a glance.

💡 Framework
The Unicorn Model analyzes price action by combining key elements to identify high-probability trade setups. It detects liquidity sweeps and uses a zigzag method to spot Breaker Blocks. The model maps PD Arrays like Fair Value Gaps and Inversion FVGs for precision zones, integrates macro time filters for context, and projects forward price targets based on liquidity clusters. Together, these components provide a clear framework to anticipate market trends and optimize entries and exits.
The model incorporates the following timeframe pairing:
15s - 5m
1m - 15m
1m - 30m
2m - 20m
3m - 30m
3m - 60m
5m - 1H

Liquidity
The Unicorn Model operates through a defined lifecycle that tracks its current stage, helping to assess the validity of potential trade opportunities.
The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:
Formation (grey)
Invalidation (red)
Success (green)
Through the phases of Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can effectively manage positions, minimize risk, and capitalize on the high-probability setups presented by the Unicorn Model.
⚡️ Showcase
The Unicorn Model is an advanced trading framework designed to elevate your market analysis and increase your trading edge. By leveraging smart money concepts and sophisticated pattern detection, it helps you spot key liquidity sweeps, reversal zones, and high-probability setups, enabling more precise entries, exits, and risk management tailored to market structure.
LTF PD Array
LTF PD Arrays are crucial to the Unicorn Model and must align with the Zigzag Breaker for the setup to be considered valid.
HTF PD Array
Higher-Timeframe PD Arrays deliver essential macro context, serving to validate both the direction and momentum of potential reversals.
Timeframe Alignment
Timeframe alignment is a fundamental element of the Unicorn trading model. By integrating multi-timeframe context, the model effectively identifies high-probability models.
Killzone Filters
Filter Unicorn Models according to key market sessions—Asia, London, New York AM, New York Launch, and New York PM—to target periods of high liquidity. This approach improves the accuracy and timing of trade setups by capturing moments when smart money is most active.
Macros
The Unicorn Model uses ICT Macro Times to identify key trading periods when institutional activity is most intense. By syncing setups with these critical windows, the model improves accuracy and provides better context for entries, risk management, and potential reversals.
Gain a trading advantage with the Unicorn Model — your essential tool for clearer insights, smarter decision-making, and more confident trade execution.

Breaker Blocks & Unicorns (with Deviations) by RiseBreaker Block and Unicorns (with Deviations) - The Highest Probability ICT Pattern
This advanced indicator identifies and tracks ICT Breaker Blocks, while incorporating powerful supplementary features including Unicorn patterns and customizable deviation levels.
These patterns develop through a precise market structure sequence culminating in structural breaks. Following Breaker Block confirmation, users can optionally enable highly customizable deviation levels. Additionally, the indicator can scan active Breaker Blocks for overlapping Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs)-(also known as "Unicorns") that represent high-probability trading opportunities, highly regarded in the ICT community.
This comprehensive tool provides unmatched functionality for traders and analysts seeking to track, backtest, and execute Breaker Block strategies. With its extensive feature set and granular customization options, it delivers capabilities that surpass existing alternatives in the market.
What is an ICT Breaker Block?
To explain this, we must understand the ABC sequence that form this pattern. It consists of:
Initial range (from A -> B)
First break point, commonly called "Manipulation" (C)
Second break, which is when the pattern is formed.
Each of these "points" consist of pivot levels, with an adjustable strength.
Breaker Blocks are invalidated and made inactive if price breaks the "C point", or manipulation.
Unicorns
Unicorns are Fair Value Gaps or Inverted Fair Value Gaps that overlap a Breaker Block. Breakers have their associated Unicorn, which is updated until price retraces into said gap.
Standard Deviations
This indicator has options to display deviations based on Breaker Blocks:
Breaker Deviations -> using the initial range (A -> B).
Manipulation Deviations -> using the manipulation (B -> C).

CommonUtils█ OVERVIEW
This library is a utility tool for Pine Script™ developers. It provides a collection of helper functions designed to simplify common tasks such as mapping user-friendly string inputs to Pine Script™ constants and formatting timeframe strings for display. The primary goal is to make main scripts cleaner, more readable, and reduce repetitive boilerplate code. It is envisioned as an evolving resource, with potential for new utilities to be added over time based on community needs and feedback.
█ CONCEPTS
The library primarily focuses on two main concepts:
Input Mapping
Pine Script™ often requires specific constants for function parameters (e.g., `line.style_dashed` for line styles, `position.top_center` for table positions). However, presenting these technical constants directly to users in script inputs can be confusing. Input mapping involves:
Allowing users to select options from more descriptive, human-readable strings (e.g., "Dashed", "Top Center") in the script's settings.
Providing functions within this library (e.g., `mapLineStyle`, `mapTablePosition`) that take these user-friendly strings as input.
Internally, these functions use switch statements or similar logic to convert (map) the input string to the corresponding Pine Script™ constant required by built-in functions.
This approach enhances user experience and simplifies the main script's logic by centralizing the mapping process.
Timeframe Formatting
Raw timeframe strings obtained from variables like `timeframe.period` (e.g., "1", "60", "D", "W") or user inputs are not always ideal for direct display in labels or panels. The `formatTimeframe` function addresses this by:
Taking a raw timeframe string as input.
Parsing this string to identify its numerical part and unit (e.g., minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, seconds, milliseconds).
Converting it into a more standardized and readable format (e.g., "1min", "60min", "Daily", "Weekly", "1s", "10M").
Offering an optional `customSuffix` parameter (e.g., " FVG", " Period") to append to the formatted string, making labels more descriptive, especially in multi-timeframe contexts.
The function is designed to correctly interpret various common timeframe notations used in TradingView.
█ NOTES
Ease of Use: The library functions are designed with simple and understandable signatures. They typically take a string input and return the corresponding Pine Script™ constant or a formatted string.
Default Behaviors: Mapping functions (`mapLineStyle`, `mapTablePosition`, `mapTextSize`) generally return a sensible default value (e.g., `line.style_solid` for `mapLineStyle`) in case of a non-matching input. This helps prevent errors in the main script.
Extensibility of Formatting: The `formatTimeframe` function, with its `customSuffix` parameter, allows for flexible customization of timeframe labels to suit the specific descriptive needs of different indicators or contexts.
Performance Considerations: These utility functions primarily use basic string operations and switch statements. For typical use cases, their impact on overall script performance is negligible. However, if a function like `formatTimeframe` were to be called excessively in a loop with dynamic inputs (which is generally not its intended use), performance should be monitored.
No Dependencies: This library is self-contained and does not depend on any other external Pine Script™ libraries.
█ EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
mapLineStyle(styleString)
Maps a user-provided line style string to its corresponding Pine Script™ line style constant.
Parameters:
styleString (simple string) : The input string representing the desired line style (e.g., "Solid", "Dashed", "Dotted" - typically from constants like LS1, LS2, LS3).
Returns: The Pine Script™ constant for the line style (e.g., line.style_solid). Defaults to line.style_solid if no match.
mapTablePosition(positionString)
Maps a user-provided table position string to its corresponding Pine Script™ position constant.
Parameters:
positionString (simple string) : The input string representing the desired table position (e.g., "Top Right", "Top Center" - typically from constants like PP1, PP2).
Returns: The Pine Script™ constant for the table position (e.g., position.top_right). Defaults to position.top_right if no match.
mapTextSize(sizeString)
Maps a user-provided text size string to its corresponding Pine Script™ size constant.
Parameters:
sizeString (simple string) : The input string representing the desired text size (e.g., "Tiny", "Small" - typically from constants like PTS1, PTS2).
Returns: The Pine Script™ constant for the text size (e.g., size.tiny). Defaults to size.small if no match.
formatTimeframe(tfInput, customSuffix)
Formats a raw timeframe string into a more display-friendly string, optionally appending a custom suffix.
Parameters:
tfInput (simple string) : The raw timeframe string from user input or timeframe.period (e.g., "1", "60", "D", "W", "1S", "10M", "2H").
customSuffix (simple string) : An optional suffix to append to the formatted timeframe string (e.g., " FVG", " Period"). Defaults to an empty string.
Returns: The formatted timeframe string (e.g., "1min", "60min", "Daily", "Weekly", "1s", "10min", "2h") with the custom suffix appended.
Anchored VWAP by Time (Math by Thomas)📄 Description
This tool lets you plot an Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) starting from any specific date and time you choose. Unlike standard VWAPs that reset daily or weekly, this version gives you full control to track institutional pricing zones from precise anchor points—such as key swing highs/lows, market open, or news-driven candles.
It’s especially useful for price action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders who track liquidity, fair value gaps (FVGs), and institutional zones.
🇮🇳 For NSE India Traders
You can anchor VWAP to Indian market open (e.g., 9:15 AM IST) or major events like RBI policy, earnings, or breakout candles.
The time input uses UTC by default, so for Indian Standard Time (IST), remember:
9:15 AM IST = 3:45 AM UTC
3:30 PM IST = 10:00 AM UTC
⚙️ How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the settings panel.
Under “Anchor Start Time”, choose the date & time to begin the VWAP.
Use UTC format (adjust from IST if needed).
Customize the line color and thickness to suit your chart style.
The VWAP will begin plotting from that time forward.
🔎 Best Use Cases
Track VWAP from intraday range breakouts
Anchor from swing highs/lows to identify mean reversion zones
Combine with your FVGs, Order Blocks, or CHoCHs
Monitor VWAP reactions during key macro events or expiry days
🔧 Clean Design
No labels are used, keeping your chart clean.
Works on all timeframes (1min to Daily).
Designed for serious intraday & positional traders.

1. Introduction
The Swing-Failure-Pattern (SFP) – Confirmed Short indicator spots and tracks bearish SFPs on any market and timeframe, with defaults tuned for Daily charts.
A bearish SFP occurs when price sweeps a prior swing high (liquidity grab) and then decisively rejects lower , signalling a possible trend reversal or sharp pullback.
This script automatically:
Identifies the liquidity sweep & rejection (‐"SFP-SHORT" label)
Confirms directional intent via a structure-breaking close below the setup low
Paints a preferred sell-on-retest zone and tracks its validity
Identifies optimal entry opportunities when price retests the zone
Generates optional retest and entry alerts when trading conditions appear
Self-cleans after a configurable number of bars – keeping your chart tidy
Default Timeframe : Daily
Default Market : Crypto / FX majors
Works On : All symbols + timeframes – simply adjust parameters.
2. Core Concept – What Is an SFP?
Sweep (Liquidity Grab) – Price trades above a meaningful swing high, triggering stops & inducing breakout buyers.
Rejection – The same bar (or the next) closes back below the swept high, invalidating the breakout.
Structure Break – Bears confirm intent by closing below the "setup low" (the most recent pivot low before the sweep).
Retest – Price retraces to the sweep zone. Traders seek entries inside the upper half of that zone with invalidation just above the swing high.
The indicator encodes these four steps so you can spot high-quality bearish reversals without manual bar-by-bar analysis.
3. How the Indicator Works
Phase: Sweep & Rejection
Script Logic: high > lastSwingHigh and close < lastSwingHigh
Visual Cue: Red SFP-SHORT label above candle
Phase: Structure Break
Script Logic: Close < setupLow while pattern locked
Visual Cue: Zone (red line-box) plotted; SFP-SHORT label stays
Phase: Retest Tracking
Script Logic: Zone stays active for retestExpiry bars or until tapped
Visual Cue: Orange SFP-RETEST label when hit
Phase: Entry Signal
Script Logic: Price rejection within retest zone
Visual Cue: Green ENTRY label at optimal entry point
Phase: Expiry / Cleanup
Script Logic: Zone deleted after expiry
Visual Cue: Labels fade but remain visible for reference
All calculations reset after each completed/expired pattern ensuring fresh, uncluttered signals.
4. Visual Elements & Their Meaning
SFP-SHORT (red) – Bar that swept a prior high and closed below it.
Red Box / Line – Preferred sell zone between the swing high (upper bound) and dynamic lower bound (see sizing methods). Extends right until filled/expired.
SFP-RETEST (orange) – Bar that first tags the zone after confirmation.
ENTRY (green) – Appears when a high-probability entry signal occurs within the retest zone.
EXPIRED (gray) – Appears when the retest zone expires without being hit.
Visual Persistence – Labels fade but remain visible after expiry for reference and historical analysis.
5. Input Parameters Explained
Pivot Detection
Pivot left / right : Bars left/right of the pivot that must stay below/above it. Tip : Symmetrical values (3/3) work best for clean structure.
Retest Management
Retest expiry (bars) : Lifespan of a retest zone before it is considered stale. Default: 14 bars on Daily . Tip : Shorten for intraday, lengthen for swing trading.
Retest Zone Sizing
Sizing method : Select Static %, ATR-based or Hybrid logic for the lower boundary. Tip : Hybrid balances tight stops with realistic fills.
Static % : Fixed fraction of sweep range when Static/Hybrid is selected. Tip : Higher % deepens zone & widens stop.
ATR period : Look-back length for ATR when volatility sizing is used. Tip : Increase to smooth choppy markets.
ATR multiplier : Multiplier applied to ATR in ATR-based/Hybrid mode. Tip : Higher value widens zone during volatility.
Visual – Retest Zone
Show retest zone box : Toggles drawing of the semi-transparent sell zone box. Tip : Disable for ultra-clean look.
Retest box color : Fill colour of the box (alpha = transparency). Tip : Match your chart theme.
Max retest boxes : How many historical boxes remain visible (0 = unlimited). Tip : Lower to boost performance.
Only show active boxes : Automatically deletes a box once it's hit. Tip : Reduces clutter during back-testing.
Visual – General
Minimal mode : Hides most visuals apart from critical labels. Tip : Ideal for screenshots.
Show retest zone line : Draws a vertical line linking upper/lower boundaries. Tip : Acts as a quick depth guide.
Show ENTRY labels : Plots 'ENTRY' on optimal candles. Tip : Turn off for manual confirmation.
Labels
Label size : Overall size of all labels. Tip : tiny / small / normal.
Use simple label style : Switches to pixel text style for labels. Tip : Faster rendering on low-spec machines.
Advanced
minPct / maxPct (hard-coded) : Internal floor/cap for Hybrid logic. Tip : Exposed in code for power-users only.
Zone-Sizing Methods
Static – Lower bound = sweepRange × staticPct.
ATR-based – Lower bound = ATR × multiplier, normalised to the sweepRange.
Hybrid – Uses the greater of Static and ATR-based (capped by an internal safety ceiling).
6. Step-by-Step Trading Playbook
Identify Context – Prefer setups against extended moves into obvious highs (e.g., daily swing highs, prior week high, round numbers).
Wait for SFP Confirmation – The indicator will label an SFP-SHORT only after the candle closes. Do not front-run.
Structure-Break Close – A close below setupLow turns the zone live. This is your go signal – prepare sell orders.
Place Orders in the Zone
Entry : Limit order anywhere between retestLower and the swing high.
Stop : 1-2 ticks/pips above the swing high.
Risk Management
Size position so risk per trade ≤ account risk % (common: 0.5-1%).
If no retest before retestExpiry bars → cancel order .
Targets
Conservative: First liquidity pocket / FVG below.
Aggressive: 2-3× risk or next HTF support.
Trail or Partial – Consider trailing stop once 1R is achieved or partial profit at 1R.
7. Example Workflow (Daily BTC-USDT)
BTC trades to a fresh one-month high at $31 050 sweeping prior highs.
Candle closes at $30 420 – below the swept high – SFP-SHORT label appears.
Two days later, candle closes below setupLow at $29 880 – confirmation & zone plotted (upper = $31 050, lower ≈ $30 550).
Five days later price retests the zone hitting $30 750 – SFP-RETEST alert fires, trade filled.
Stop placed @ $31 120 (70$ risk). 1R target = $29 680 reached four days later.
8. Alerts & Automation
SFP Short confirmed
Fires When: Structure-break close below setupLow.
Suggested Action: Prepare/submit sell-limit order in the zone.
SFP Short retest
Fires When: Price enters the retest zone.
Suggested Action: Monitor for entry signals or prepare for manual entry.
SFP Short Entry Signal
Fires When: Optimal entry conditions detected within retest zone.
Suggested Action: Execute short trade with defined risk parameters.
Use TradingView's Webhook URL to forward alerts to a trade-execution bot (e.g., PineConnector) for automated order placement.
9. Tips, Tricks & Best Practices
Combine with HTF Bias – Only take bearish SFPs in bearish weekly trend.
Watch Volume – High volume on the sweep bar adds conviction.
Time Window – SFPs during NY session FX / US session crypto tend to be stronger.
Cluster Zones – Multiple overlapping SFP zones increase probability; treat the cluster as one larger supply.
Avoid News – Skip SFPs forming minutes before high-impact macro news.
10. FAQ
Q: Can I use this on lower timeframes?
A: Yes – reduce retestExpiry (e.g., 15 bars on 15-minute) and test ATR-based sizing.
Q: Does it work for longs?
A: This script focuses on bearish SFPs. Clone & invert conditions for longs.
Q: Why did a zone disappear?
A: Either it expired (retestExpiry) without a retest or the cleanup routine removed old visuals to stay within Pine limits (500 objects per type).
Q: What's the difference between the "SFP-RETEST" and "ENTRY" signals?
A: "SFP-RETEST" indicates price has entered the zone, while "ENTRY" signals an optimal entry opportunity based on price rejection within the zone.
Q: How do I customize the label appearance?
A: Use the "Label size" and "Use simple label style" settings to adjust all labels to your preferred visual style.
Happy trading & trade safe!
11. Advanced Configuration & Asset-Class Playbook
Why does the retest box feel "too high" and how do I actually get filled? Use the quick tweaks below or the power-user code snippet to shape the zone to your personality and instrument.
11.1 Why the default box is shallow
The Static 25 % / ATR-Hybrid logic keeps stops small. Around 50 % of Daily BTC SFPs never look back – that's the cost of tight risk. If you need higher fill-rates, deepen the zone (11.2).
11.2 Three slider moves – no coding required
Retest zone sizing method – switch Static → Hybrid or ATR-based
Static % – raise from 0.25 → 0.45-0.60
ATR multiplier – raise from 1.0 → 1.5-2.0
Each turn pulls the lower edge of the box deeper while keeping the invalidation at the swing high.
11.3 One-liner for coders
To allow >60 % of the sweep range edit the source:
Old code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = 0.60
New code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = input.float(0.60, "Max retest % of sweep", step = 0.05, minval = 0.10, maxval = 0.95)
Then dial the cap up to ~0.80-0.90 from the settings panel.
11.4 If price never comes back…
No-retest partial – take 25-40 % size on the confirmation candle, stop above the high.
Lower-TF confirmation – drop to 4 h / 1 h and hunt an internal SFP or bearish FVG inside the sweep.
ATR trail – if price dumps immediately, trail the stop above each new lower-high.
11.5 Asset-Class Cheat-Sheet
Crypto – Daily : Static %: 0.20-0.35, ATR mult: 1.0, Retest Expiry: 12-20 . Notes : High volatility; sweeps expand fast.
FX Majors – 4 h/D : Static %: 0.25-0.40, ATR mult: 1.2, Retest Expiry: 15-25 . Notes : ATR handles session compression.
Index Futures – 1 h : Static %: 0.30-0.50, ATR mult: 1.5, Retest Expiry: 10-20 . Notes : Hybrid recommended; gaps tighten sweeps.
US Equities – 30 m : Static %: 0.35-0.55, ATR mult: 1.5-2.0, Retest Expiry: 10-14 . Notes : Consider no-retest entry on earnings spikes.

ICT-Elliott Hybrid Oscillator네이버 프리미엄 콘텐츠 > 재테크 사관학교 검색
This indicator uses Elliott Wave Theory and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts to help easily and accurately predict when asset prices like cryptocurrencies or stocks will rise or fall.
📌 Easy Explanation of Terms
✅ What is Elliott Wave?
A theory stating that price movements follow a specific pattern (5 upward waves + 3 downward waves) repeatedly. Simply put, it's about repetitive cycles of rises and falls creating overall trends.
✅ What is ICT Theory?
A strategy that identifies optimal trading times by observing critical price areas traded by institutional investors (Order Blocks), imbalances in price (Fair Value Gaps - FVG), and major turning points (Break of Structure - BOS).
📈 Signals Provided by the Indicator
🔹 ① Pivot Highs & Lows
Red ▼: Short-term high (increased likelihood of price falling)
Green ▲: Short-term low (increased likelihood of price rising)
🔹 ② Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Green highlighted area: Zone where price is likely to rise again
Red highlighted area: Zone where price is likely to fall again
🔹 ③ Break of Structure (BOS)
Blue "BOS Up": Indicates a shift to an upward trend
Orange "BOS Down": Indicates a shift to a downward trend
⏳ Recommended Timeframe Combinations
| Major Trend (Basic Analysis) | Entry Point (Detailed Analysis) | Short-term Timing (Precision Analysis) |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| 4-hour | 1-hour | 15-minute |
Use the 4-hour timeframe to gauge overall trends,
the 1-hour timeframe to pinpoint exact entry and exit points,
and the 15-minute timeframe for precise timing.
Include Source
🕯 Recommended Candle Patterns
* Pin Bar (Long wick candle) → Trend reversal signal
* Engulfing Candle (fully covering previous candle) → Strong trend reversal signal
* Hammer & Shooting Star (small body with a long wick) → Bullish or bearish reversal signal
* Doji (balance between buyers and sellers) → High potential for trend reversal
US30 Smart Money 5M/4H Strategy🧠 How It Works
✅ 1. 4H Trend Bias Detection
Uses the 4-hour chart (internally) to determine if the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.
Background turns green for bullish trend, red for bearish trend.
This helps filter trades — only take longs during uptrend, shorts during downtrend.
✅ 2. Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Hunts) on 5M
Highlights candles that break previous highs/lows and then reverse (typical of institutional stop raids).
Draws a shaded red box above sweep-high candles and green box under sweep-lows.
These indicate key reversal zones.
✅ 3. Order Block Zones
Detects bullish/bearish engulfing patterns after liquidity sweeps.
Draws a supply or demand zone box extending forward.
These zones show where institutions likely placed large orders.
✅ 4. FVG Midpoint from 30-Min Chart
Detects Fair Value Gaps (imbalances) on the 30-minute chart.
Plots a line at the midpoint of the gap (EQ level), which is often revisited for entries or rejections.
✅ 5. Buy/Sell Signals (Non-Repainting)
Buy = 4H uptrend + 5M liquidity sweep low + bullish engulfing candle.
Sell = 4H downtrend + 5M liquidity sweep high + bearish engulfing.
Prints green “BUY” or red “SELL” label on the chart — these do not repaint.
📈 How to Use It
Wait for trend bias — only take trades in the direction of the 4H trend.
Watch for liquidity sweep boxes — these hint a stop hunt just occurred.
Look for a signal label (BUY/SELL) — confirms entry criteria.
Use FVG EQ lines & Order Block zones as confluence or targets.
Take trades after NY open (9:30 AM EST) for best momentum.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Trap the Trap: A Precision Reversal Strategy from the Inner Circle Trader Playbook
This indicator implements the Turtle Soup liquidity reversal setup — a widely used ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept that targets false breakouts beyond recent swing highs or lows. These patterns typically occur when price grabs liquidity above or below a known level, then snaps back, trapping retail traders and creating a high-probability reversal scenario.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Sweeps Above/Below Key Swing Levels
Uses a customizable swing lookback to identify recent swing highs and lows.
Triggers a Bearish Turtle Soup when price runs above a previous swing high and closes back below.
Triggers a Bullish Turtle Soup when price sweeps below a prior swing low and closes back above.
Plots Clear Visual Signals
Reversal signals appear as 🐢🔻 (Bearish) or 🐢🔺 (Bullish) markers directly on your chart.
Optional labels can be enabled for enhanced journaling and review.
Real-Time Alerts
Receive alert notifications when a Turtle Soup setup is detected — ideal for scalpers or intraday traders watching for reversals around liquidity pools.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Set the swing lookback sensitivity (default: 5)
Enable or disable labels
Choose label font size
Customize colors for bullish and bearish signals
💡 How to Use:
Deploy on intraday timeframes (e.g. 5m–15m) for high-resolution liquidity analysis.
Watch for signals at key highs/lows, session extremes, or zones where liquidity is likely resting.
Combine with tools like FVGs, Order Blocks, and OTE zones for layered confirmation.
🔗 Combine With These Tools for a Complete SMC Edge:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, these tools form a high-precision Smart Money toolkit — helping traders map, anticipate, and act on institutional-level liquidity events with clarity and confidence.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders
This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Identifies Swing Highs & Lows
Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period.
Tracks Liquidity Grabs
A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it.
A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it.
These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing.
Plots Signals Directly on the Chart
Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels.
Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling.
Includes Alert Conditions
Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Adjustable swing lookback period
Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels
Set label font size
Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors
💡 How to Use:
Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m).
Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone.
Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups.
Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals.
🧠 Why It Works:
Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries.
🔗 Best Used With:
Maximize the edge by combining this with other SMC tools:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, they create a complete ecosystem for identifying, confirming, and executing liquidity-driven trade setups with precision.
ICT Concepts [SB]ICT Market Structure Shift (MSS) Alert Indicator

Perfect for traders who use ICT, Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and Market Structure-based strategies.
CandelaCharts - Fractal Range Model📝 Overview
The Fractal Range Model (FRM) is an all-encompassing and sophisticated trading framework that incorporates multiple market dynamics to provide a deeper understanding of price movements.
This model is built around several key principles, including Market Swing Points, Sweeps, Candle Mean, and Change in State of Delivery (CISD), which together offer a nuanced and effective approach to trading.
At its core, the model focuses on Market Swing Points, which represent crucial turning points in the market where price action shifts direction.
These points provide insight into potential reversals and momentum changes, allowing traders to identify key support and resistance areas.
Recognizing these swings is critical in anticipating future price movements and understanding the market’s underlying structure.
The Fractal Range Model (FRM) is a versatile trading strategy that adapts to various styles, whether you're into scalping, day trading, swing trading, or long-term investment. Its flexibility makes it suitable for traders with different time horizons and risk preferences, allowing it to be effectively applied across multiple market conditions.

The Fractal Range Model follows a specific lifecycle, which highlights the current state of the model and determines whether a trade opportunity is valid.
The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:
Formation (grey)
Invalidation (red)
Success (green)
1. Formation
The Formation phase marks the initial setup of the Fractal Range Model. During this stage, the model identifies and plots key components, such as:
Sweeps: Market movements that indicate a potential reversal or strong shift in trend.
CISD (Change In State of Delivery): A structural change that provides insight into trend shifts.
Once these components are detected, the model automatically calculates and displays Projections and Liquidity Levels , offering insights into potential price action movements.
At this stage, the model also identifies and displays the following key elements:
HTF PD Arrays (Higher-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
LTF PD Arrays (Lower-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
If any of these elements are present, they will be automatically displayed on the chart.
2. Invalidation
A Fractal Range Model is considered invalidated when the price does not reach the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level, and when the price breaks above the high that formed the Sweep.
Invalidation signals that the original setup is no longer reliable, and traders should avoid taking action based on the model's original parameters.
Key invalidation conditions:
Price fails to reach the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price fails to reach the first liquidity level.
Price breaks the high/low that initiated the Sweep.
A potentially invalidated model is marked with a purple color above the label, indicating the sweep is invalidated by the next candle, but not the high that formed the sweep.
3. Success
A Fractal Range Model is considered successful when the price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level. This indicates that the model's predictions align with actual market movements, confirming the setup's validity and providing a potential trading signal.
At this stage, alongside Projections and Liquidity levels, you'll also notice the C-area — the region between the current candle's open and the previous candle's mean. If respected, price action will follow the model's direction.
Key success conditions:
Price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price reaches the first liquidity level.
By leveraging these phases, Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can effectively manage their positions, minimize risk, and capitalize on high-probability setups based on the Fractal Range Model.

Nef33 Forex & Crypto Trading Signals PRO
1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)
TheRookAlgoPROThe Rook Algo PRO is an automated strategy that uses ICT dealing ranges to get in sync with potential market trends. It detects the market sentiment and then place a sell or a buy trade in premium/discount or in breakouts with the desired risk management.
Why is useful?
This algorithm is designed to help traders to quickly identify the current state of the market and easily back test their strategy over longs periods of time and different markets its ideal for traders that want to profit on potential expansions and want to avoid consolidations this algo will tell you when the expansion is likely to begin and when is just consolidating and failing moves to avoid trading.
How it works and how it does it?
The Algo detects the current and previous market structure to identify current ranges and ICT dealing ranges that are created when the market takes buyside liquidity and sellside liquidity, it will tell if the market is in a consolidation, expansion, retracement or in a potential turtle soup environment, it will tell if the range is small or big compared to the previous one. Is important to use it in a trending markets because when is ranging the signals lose effectiveness.
This algo is similar to the previously released the Rook algo with the additional features that is an automated strategy that can take trades using filters with the desired risk reward and different entry types and trade management options.
Also this version plots FVGS(fair value gaps) during expansions, and detects consolidations with a box and the mid point or average. Some bars colors are available to help in the identification of the market state. It has the option to show colors of the dealing ranges first detected state.
How to use it?
Start selecting the desired type of entry you want to trade, you can choose to take Discount longs, premium sells, breakouts longs and sells, this first four options are the selected by default. You can enable riskier options like trades without confirmation in premium and discount or turtle soup of the current or previous dealing range. This last ones are ideal for traders looking to enter on a counter trend but has to be used with caution with a higher timeframe reference.
In the picture below we can see a premium sell signal configuration followed by a discount buy signal It display the stop break even level and take profit.
This next image show how the riskier entries work. Because we are not waiting for a confirmation and entering on a counter trend is normal to experience some stop losses because the stop is very tight. Should only be used with a clear Higher timeframe reference as support of the trade idea. This algo has the option to enable standard deviations from the normal stop point to prevent liquidity sweeps. The purple or blue arrows indicate when we are in a potential turtle soup environment.
The algo have a feature called auto-trade enable by default that allow for a reversal of the current trade in case it meets the criteria. And also can take all possible buys or all possible sells that are riskier entries if you just want to see the market sentiment. This is useful when the market is very volatile but is moving not just ranging.
Then we configure the desired trade filters. We have the options to trade only when dealing ranges are in sync for a more secure trend, or we can disable it to take riskier trades like turtle soup trades. We can chose the minimum risk reward to take the trade and the target extension from the current range and the exit type can be when we hit the level or in a retracement that is the default setting. These setting are the most important that determine profitability of the strategy, they has be adjusted depending on the timeframe and market we are trading.
The stop and target levels can also be configured with standard deviations from the current range that way can be adapted to the market volatility.
The Algo allow the user to chose if it want to place break even, or trail the stop. In the picture below we can see it in action. This can work when the trend is very strong if not can lead to multiple reentries or loses.
The last option we can configure is the time where the trades are going to be taken, if we trade usually in the morning then we can just add the morning time by default is set to the morning 730am to 1330pm if you want to trade other times you should change this. Or if we want to enter on the ICT macro times can also be added in a filter. Trade taken with the macro times only enable is visible in the picture below.

[TehThomas] - ICT SMT DivergencesIntroduction
SMT Divergences is a cutting-edge trading tool designed for traders who utilize Smart Money Techniques (SMT), a core concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator is specifically built to detect SMT divergences by comparing price action across multiple correlated assets. It helps traders identify institutional activity, liquidity grabs, and inefficiencies in the market, offering valuable insights for high-probability trade setups.
Smart Money Techniques revolve around the idea that institutional traders and large market participants leave behind footprints in the form of price divergences. By analyzing multiple asset pairs simultaneously, this indicator helps traders pinpoint areas where one market structure contradicts another, revealing potential trade opportunities before the majority of retail traders notice them.
What is SMT Divergence?
Smart Money Divergence (SMT) occurs when correlated assets or markets behave differently in key areas of interest. These divergences often indicate market inefficiencies caused by liquidity grabs or institutional order flow. There are two main types of SMT divergences:
1. Bearish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Distribution) 🔴
Occurs when:
One asset makes a higher high, while another correlated asset makes a lower high.
This signals underlying weakness in the price action of the first asset.
Institutions may be offloading positions, preparing for a downward move.
📉 Example: If GBP/USD makes a higher high, but EUR/USD makes a lower high, it indicates potential weakness in GBP/USD and a possible short opportunity.
2. Bullish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Accumulation) 🔵
Occurs when:
One asset makes a lower low, while another correlated asset makes a higher low.
This suggests strength and potential accumulation by institutional traders.
Smart Money may be positioning for a bullish reversal.
📈 Example: If NASDAQ (US100) makes a lower low, but S&P 500 (US500) makes a higher low, it could indicate bullish strength in the stock market, suggesting a possible long trade.
How This Indicator Works
The SMT Divergences automatically identifies and plots SMT divergences on your chart, allowing you to spot hidden market imbalances at a glance.
🔍 Key Features
✅ Compare Up to 4 Assets Simultaneously – Select up to four correlated pairs to compare against the main charted asset.
✅ Automatic Detection of SMT Divergences – The script finds divergences in swing highs and swing lows and visually marks them on the chart.
✅ Customizable Line Styles & Colors – Adjust the appearance of the divergence lines and labels to suit your trading style.
✅ Smart Labeling System – Displays which asset pairs are diverging, making it easy to analyze market conditions.
✅ Works Across Multiple Markets – Use for Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities, giving traders flexibility in different asset classes.
✅ Designed for ICT Traders – Aligns perfectly with other ICT concepts such as Liquidity Zones, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
🛠 Indicator Settings & Customization
The indicator provides various settings to tailor it to your trading preferences:
Pivot Lookback Length: Adjusts how many bars the indicator looks back to determine swing highs/lows.
Symbol Selection: Choose up to four additional assets to compare against your main trading pair.
Divergence Line Colors: Customize the color of bearish (red) and bullish (blue) divergences for better visibility.
Line Styles: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines to highlight divergences in your preferred way.
Label Customization: Modify text color and display preferences for a clean and informative chart layout.
How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading Strategy
This indicator is best used in combination with other ICT concepts to improve confluence and increase trade accuracy. Here’s how you can integrate it into your trading strategy:
🔹 Step 1: Identify SMT Divergences
Wait for bullish or bearish SMT divergences to appear on your chart.
Check if the divergence aligns with key liquidity zones, fair value gaps (FVGs), or order blocks.
🔹 Step 2: Confirm Institutional Activity
Look for liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) before a potential reversal.
If a bearish SMT divergence forms near a major resistance level, it may signal Smart Money selling.
If a bullish SMT divergence forms near a support zone, it could indicate accumulation.
🔹 Step 3: Enter a Trade with Confluence
Combine SMT divergences with market structure shifts to time entries.
Use additional ICT tools like Premium & Discount Arrays, Volume Profile, and Market Maker Models for confirmation.
Set stop-losses above liquidity zones and aim for high-risk reward ratios.
🔹 Step 4: Manage Risk & Take Profits
Always use proper risk management, keeping an eye on liquidity grabs and market sentiment.
Consider taking partial profits at key structural points and letting the rest of the trade run.
Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer for ICT Traders
Traditional retail traders often fail to spot Smart Money footprints, which is why many struggle with false breakouts and liquidity traps. The - ICT SMT Divergences indicator eliminates this problem by providing a clear, visual representation of SMT divergences, allowing traders to track institutional movements in real-time.
🔹 Save Time – No need to manually compare charts; the script does the work for you.
🔹 Improve Accuracy – Get high-probability trade setups by following institutional footprints.
🔹 Enhance Your Trading Edge – Use SMT divergences in combination with liquidity grabs, order blocks, and fair value gaps to refine your strategy.
🔹 Universal Market Compatibility – Works for Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, and even Stocks, giving you flexibility in different markets.
Final Thoughts
The SMT Divergences is a must-have tool for traders who rely on Smart Money Techniques (SMT) and ICT methodologies. By identifying SMT divergences across multiple correlated markets, this indicator provides unparalleled insights into institutional trading behavior and enhances your ability to trade with Smart Money.

[TehThomas] - Market Structure Shift (MSS)
- Market Structure Shift (MSS) Script Overview
This TradingView script is designed to help traders identify Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS), which are key concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. By detecting significant shifts in price action, the script provides visual cues and alerts to help traders spot potential trend changes and continuation patterns.
How the Script Works
1. Identifying Swing Highs & Lows
The script detects swing highs and swing lows based on a pivot strength setting (default: 3).
A swing high forms when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of a set number of candles on both sides.
A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the surrounding candles.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS) Detection
A bullish MSS occurs when price closes above the most recent swing high after previously being in a bearish trend.
A bearish MSS occurs when price closes below the most recent swing low after being in a bullish trend.
This signals a potential trend reversal and is often a key area for liquidity grabs and smart money entry points.
3. Break of Structure (BOS) Detection (Optional - Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
A BOS is detected when price continues in the direction of the trend, confirming a structural break rather than a shift.
Bullish BOS: Price breaks a swing high but does not reverse (confirms trend continuation).
Bearish BOS: Price breaks a swing low but continues downward.
BOS levels help traders confirm trend strength and potential trade continuation setups.
4. Drawing Structure Lines & Labels
The script plots horizontal lines at the detected MSS and BOS levels.
Labels such as "MSS" or "BOS" appear at the breakout points.
Traders can customize the line style, color, and text size for better visibility.
5. Alert System for MSS & BOS
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when an MSS or BOS occurs.
Alerts can be set for:
Any MSS / Any BOS
Bullish MSS / Bullish BOS
Bearish MSS / Bearish BOS
Settings You Can Change
The script allows for full customization through the following input parameters:
Pivot Strength (pivot_strength)
Default: 4
Adjusts how many candles must be considered to form a valid swing high or low.
Higher values result in stronger structure points, while lower values detect short-term movements.
Color Settings
Highs Color (highs) → Default: Blue (for bullish structure)
Lows Color (lows) → Default: Red (for bearish structure)
Toggle Display Options
Show BOS (show_bos) → Enables/disables BOS detection.
Show MSS (show_mss) → Enables/disables MSS detection.
Line & Label Customization
BOS Line Style (bos_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
MSS Line Style (mss_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
BOS & MSS Line Width → Adjustable from 1 to 4 pixels
BOS & MSS Text Size → Options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
BOS & MSS Text Position → Options: Left, Center, Right
Why This Script is Useful
✔ Detects Key Market Structure Changes
MSS and BOS are critical for identifying trend reversals and trend continuations.
Helps traders avoid false breakouts by distinguishing between structural shifts and simple breakouts.
✔ Enhances Smart Money Trading Strategies
MSS often aligns with liquidity grabs before price reverses.
BOS confirms continuation trades in strong trends.
Works well with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Liquidity Zones.
✔ Customizable Alerts & Visuals
Traders can enable alerts for MSS and BOS to receive notifications when price shifts.
Adjustable styling ensures clarity across different trading setups.
✔ Works on Any Asset & Timeframe
Suitable for Forex, Crypto, Stocks, and Indices.
Can be used on lower timeframes (scalping) or higher timeframes (swing trading).
How to Use the Market Structure Shift Concept in Trading
1️⃣ Identify Market Conditions
Apply the script and check if price is forming Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), or Lower Lows (LL).
Determine if the market is trending or ranging.
2️⃣ Watch for MSS (Reversal Signals)
Bullish MSS: Price closes above a key swing high → potential bullish reversal.
Bearish MSS: Price closes below a swing low → potential bearish reversal.
3️⃣ Confirm BOS (Trend Continuation Signals)
Bullish BOS: Price continues breaking highs, confirming an uptrend.
Bearish BOS: Price continues breaking lows, confirming a downtrend.
4️⃣ Combine with Other ICT & SMC Concepts
Look for Order Blocks (OBs) and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) near MSS/BOS levels for better trade entries.
Wait for liquidity grabs before entering trades (avoid stop hunts).
Use higher timeframe MSS/BOS zones as key support & resistance areas.
Final Thoughts
This script is a must-have tool for traders using ICT & SMC trading strategies. It helps identify trend shifts, liquidity grabs, and continuation moves by marking Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS) on the chart.
LRLR [TakingProphets]LRLR (Low Resistance Liquidity Run) Indicator
This indicator identifies potential liquidity runs in areas of low resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It specifically looks for a series of unmitigated swing highs in a downtrend that form without any bearish fair value gaps (FVGs) between them.
What is an LRLR?
- A Low Resistance Liquidity Run occurs when price creates a series of lower highs without any bearish fair value gaps in between
- The absence of bearish FVGs indicates there is no significant resistance in the area
- These formations often become targets for smart money to collect liquidity above the swing highs
How to Use the Indicator:
1. The indicator will draw a diagonal line connecting a series of qualifying swing highs
2. A small "LRLR" label appears to mark the pattern
3. These areas often become targets for future price moves, as they represent zones of accumulated liquidity with minimal resistance
Key Points:
- Minimum of 4 consecutive lower swing highs
- No bearish fair value gaps can exist between these swing highs
- The diagonal line helps visualize the liquidity run formation
- Can be used for trade planning and identifying potential reversal zones
Settings:
- Show Labels: Toggle the "LRLR" label visibility
- LRLR Line Color: Customize the appearance of the diagonal line
Best Practices:
1. Use in conjunction with other ICT concepts and market structure analysis
2. Pay attention to how price reacts when returning to these levels
3. Consider these areas as potential targets for smart money liquidity grabs
4. Most effective when used on higher timeframes (4H and above)
Note: This is an educational tool and should be used as part of a complete trading strategy, not in isolation.
Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
Enhanced London Session SMC SetupEnhanced London Session SMC Setup Indicator
This Pine Script-based indicator is designed for traders focusing on the London trading session, leveraging smart money concepts (SMC) to identify potential trading opportunities in the GBP/USD currency pair. The script uses multiple techniques such as Order Block Detection, Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Analysis, Change of Character (CHoCH) detection, and Fibonacci retracement levels to aid in market structure analysis, providing a well-rounded approach to trade setups.
Features:
London Session Highlight:
The indicator visually marks the London trading session (from 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC) on the chart using a blue background, signaling when the high-volume, high-impulse moves tend to occur, helping traders focus their analysis on this key session.
Order Block Detection:
Identifies significant impulse moves that may form order blocks (supply and demand zones). Order blocks are areas where institutions have executed large orders, often leading to price reversals or continuation. The indicator plots the high and low of these order blocks, providing key levels to monitor for potential entries.
Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Detection:
Detects and highlights price imbalances or fair value gaps (FVG) where the market has moved too quickly, creating a gap in price action. These areas are often revisited by price, offering potential trade opportunities. The upper and lower bounds of the imbalance are visually marked for easy reference.
Change of Character (CHoCH) Detection:
This feature identifies potential trend reversals by detecting significant changes in market character. When the price action shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa, a CHoCH signal is triggered, and the corresponding level is marked on the chart. This can help traders catch trend reversals at key levels.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The script calculates and plots the key Fibonacci retracement levels (0.618 and 0.786 by default) based on the highest and lowest points over a user-defined swing lookback period. These levels are commonly used by traders to identify potential pullback zones where price may reverse or find support/resistance.
Directional Bias Based on Market Structure:
The indicator provides a market structure analysis by comparing the current highs and lows to the previous periods' highs and lows. This helps in identifying whether the market is in a bullish or bearish state, providing a clear directional bias for trade setups.
Alerts:
The indicator comes with built-in alert conditions to notify the trader when an order block, imbalance, CHoCH, or other significant price action event is detected, ensuring timely action can be taken.
Ideal Usage:
Timeframe: Suitable for intraday trading, particularly focusing on the London session (08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC).
Currency Pair: Specifically designed for GBP/USD but can be adapted to other pairs with similar market behavior.
Trading Strategy: Best used in conjunction with a price action strategy, focusing on the key levels identified (order blocks, FVG, CHoCH) and using Fibonacci retracement levels for precision entries.
Target Audience: Ideal for traders who follow smart money concepts (SMC) and are looking for a structured approach to identify high-probability setups during the London session.
The real breakout indicator CCI + Money Flow + Buy / SellComponents of the indicator
1. CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
The CCI component measures the deviation of the price from its statistical average. It is used to identify overbought or oversold conditions and is integrated into the trend logic to determine potential trend reversals. High values may indicate overbought conditions, while low values could signify oversold situations.
Detailed
The CCI (Commodity Channel Index) used in "The Real Breakout Indicator Hawk" is an enhanced version compared to the traditional CCI, offering several advantages:
1. Weighting and Smoothing Mechanism
In this version, the CCI values are weighted and smoothed using custom parameters (c1, c2, c3), which allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the sensitivity of the CCI to market conditions. This smoothing reduces noise and provides clearer signals compared to the standard CCI, which can be prone to whipsaws in volatile markets.
2. Multi-level Calculation
The indicator uses an array-based approach to calculate multiple variations of CCI values (with p as the parameter for different levels of calculation), which is then combined to create a more robust signal. This multi-level approach allows for capturing different market cycles, unlike the traditional CCI that only uses a single period for calculation.
3. Integration with Moving Averages and Trend Detection
Unlike the original CCI, which is often used in isolation, this version integrates with the trend detection logic by combining it with moving averages and money flow. The enhanced CCI contributes to the broader trend analysis, ensuring that buy/sell signals are not just based on CCI overbought/oversold levels but also validated by moving averages and slope calculations.
4. Trend-Weighted CCI
This version adds weight to recent price action trends, making it more adaptive to current market momentum. The CCI values are influenced by recent high and low prices, adding a trend-following aspect that is missing from the original CCI, which treats all price deviations equally.
This image of EURAD shows for example that when CCI component is green a strong trend is detected which can hold for up to 10 days in this example, ideal for swing trades;
EURAUD 2H
5. Improved Overbought/Oversold Detection
The script incorporates a dynamic overbought/oversold detection zone based on the enhanced CCI. It accounts for market volatility, allowing it to adjust its thresholds (such as the 200 level) more effectively in different market environments. This makes the enhanced CCI better suited for varying market conditions compared to the fixed thresholds of the original CCI.
You can see that the red diamond signal is generated at the absolute top of the price range after which price started to reverse, the detection is based on a cross over value together with Money Flow strength
BTCUSDT 2H
6. Strong Buy/Sell Confirmation
The enhanced CCI works in tandem with other components like Money Flow and Moving Averages to confirm buy or sell signals. This cross-validation makes the indicator less reliant on CCI alone and ensures that the signals generated are stronger and less prone to false positives, which is a common issue with the standalone CCI.
The green diamond buy signal in a strong downtrend is mostly a short retrace of price before continuing down further, yo can use this as an entry signal after the bounce up into an FVG for example. However when price is at a support, meaning price is not moving down further and this occurs this could be a potential reversal signal as shown on the right side on the chart below. FVG is not respected, retested and price continues up.
BTCUSDT 2H
Summary:
In summary, the enhanced CCI in this indicator improves over the original CCI by providing better noise reduction, multi-level analysis, trend integration, and adaptability to different market conditions. These improvements lead to more reliable and actionable trading signals.
2. Money Flow (MF) www.tradingview.com
The Money Flow component tracks the flow of capital in and out of an asset. Positive values indicate strong buying pressure, while negative values show selling pressure. This is smoothed to avoid noise and is used to confirm strong buy or sell conditions.
The Money Flow (MF) in "The Real Breakout Indicator Hawk" measures the flow of capital into or out of an asset, helping to assess the underlying buying or selling pressure in the market.
1. Positive Money Flow (Buying Pressure)
When the MF is positive, it indicates that more money is flowing into the asset, which suggests strong buying interest. This helps confirm that a price increase or breakout to the upside is supported by demand.
2. Negative Money Flow (Selling Pressure)
A negative MF indicates that capital is leaving the asset, reflecting selling pressure. This is a sign that the market is under bearish conditions, and prices are likely to decline or break down.
3. Confirmation of Buy and Sell Signals
The MF is used to confirm buy and sell signals generated by other components of the indicator. When the MF aligns with other bullish signals, it strengthens the buy condition, and similarly, when the MF shows strong selling pressure, it reinforces a sell signal.
4. Filtering Noise
The MF is smoothed to filter out noise, ensuring that only significant movements in buying or selling pressure are considered. This helps avoid false signals and makes the MF a reliable tool for detecting true market strength.
5. Range Sensitivity
The MF operates within defined ranges, ensuring that buy or sell signals are only triggered when the flow of money is strong enough, adding precision to signal generation.
In summary, the Money Flow component is crucial for validating market direction, enhancing signal reliability, and helping traders make more informed decisions based on the underlying capital movement in the market.
3. Moving Averages (MA)
Multiple types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.) are used to smooth price action and highlight the trend direction. The script supports different types of moving averages, and their slopes are calculated to assist in identifying changes in trend momentum.
The Moving Averages (MA) section of "The Real Breakout Indicator Hawk" plays a critical role in smoothing price data, identifying trends, and generating buy/sell signals. Here’s a breakdown of what it does and how you can use it effectively without diving into the script:
1. Moving Average Types
This section allows the user to choose from different types of moving averages, each with unique characteristics:
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Takes the average of closing prices over a specific period. It’s slower and better suited for detecting long-term trends.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new price action and suitable for short-term trading.
HMA (Hull Moving Average): A smoother and faster moving average, useful for reducing lag in fast-moving markets.
LVMA (Linear Weighted Moving Average): Places the most weight on recent prices, making it even more responsive than EMA.
Alma (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average): A smoother version that reduces noise while maintaining responsiveness to recent price action.
2. Smoothing and Trend Detection
The moving average smooths out price data to remove small fluctuations and focuses on the overall trend. When prices are trading above the moving average, it suggests that the market is in an uptrend. When prices are below the moving average, it indicates a downtrend.
3. Trend Confirmation
The moving average serves as a confirmation tool. When the price crosses above the moving average, it could signal the start of a bullish trend, and when the price crosses below, it may indicate the beginning of a bearish trend.
4. Buy and Sell Signals
Buy Signal: The system detects a buy signal when:
The moving average crosses above 0, indicating a potential upward momentum.
Other indicators like Money Flow and CCI align to confirm the trend.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is triggered when:
The moving average crosses below 0, signaling a potential downtrend.
This signal is further validated by other components such as Money Flow and CCI to reduce false signals.
5. Using Moving Averages in Trading
Crossover Strategy: One of the simplest ways to use moving averages is by employing a crossover strategy. For instance:
When the shorter-term moving average (e.g., 20-period) crosses above a longer-term moving average (e.g., 50-period), this is a bullish crossover, indicating a buy signal.
Conversely, when the shorter-term moving average crosses below the longer-term moving average, this is a bearish crossover, indicating a sell signal.
Trend Following: If you’re trading with the trend, you can use a moving average to stay in the trade as long as the price remains above (for long positions) or below (for short positions) the moving average.
Support and Resistance: Moving averages can also act as dynamic support or resistance levels. For example, in an uptrend, the CCI might bounce off the moving average, offering a good entry point for a long position. In a downtrend, the moving average could act as resistance where prices may reverse, offering a shorting opportunity.
To use the MA section effectively:
Choose the right type of moving average based on your trading style (e.g., use EMA for faster response or SMA for long-term trends).
Watch for crossovers as buy/sell signals, especially in combination with other indicators.
Follow the trend by observing whether the price is above or below the moving average.
Use the moving average as a dynamic support/resistance level to find optimal entry/exit points.
This approach makes the moving average a versatile tool for identifying trends, refining entry and exit points, and confirming overall market direction.
an example when MA crosses below 0, keep in mind that when it it starts curving up and turning green there is a reversal brewing, this could take time...

4. Buy Signals
Buy signals are generated when the moving average crosses up, and the Money Flow and other trend-based conditions are met, including CCI levels confirming the strength of the breakout. Additionally, slope calculations and other momentum indicators provide extra confirmation for entries.
5. Sell Signals
Sell signals occur when the moving average crosses down, combined with negative Money Flow, confirming downward pressure. Other trend-based conditions, including the CCI, must also align to validate the signal, and slope calculations ensure that momentum is on the sell side.
6. Slope and Trend Detection
The script includes calculations for the slope of price action over a lookback period to measure trend strength and direction. The slope is normalized to help identify when the market is gaining or losing momentum. This slope is used in conjunction with the moving averages and Money Flow to give more accurate trend signals.
The Slope and Trend Detection component in "The Real Breakout Indicator Hawk" is designed to measure the direction and strength of the market’s trend by calculating the slope of the price action over a specific period. This helps to identify whether the market is gaining or losing momentum, and it is a key element in refining buy/sell signals.
Here’s how the Slope and Trend Detection works and how you can use it effectively without diving into the script:
1. Slope Calculation
Slope is essentially the rate of change of the moving average (or price) over a given number of bars. It measures how steeply the price is moving up or down.
The script calculates the slope by measuring the difference between the moving average over a defined number of bars (e.g., 12 bars in this case). A larger slope indicates a stronger trend, while a smaller slope suggests a weaker or consolidating trend.
2. Normalized Slope
The slope is normalized, meaning it is adjusted to fall within a range that makes it easier to compare across different time frames and markets. This normalization helps to gauge whether the slope is strong or weak relative to historical data.
Positive slopes (above 0) indicate an uptrend or rising price momentum, while negative slopes (below 0) indicate a downtrend or falling price momentum.
3. Trend Detection
The slope of the moving average is used to detect the current trend:
If the slope is positive, the market is in an uptrend.
If the slope is negative, the market is in a downtrend.
The stronger the slope (the steeper it is), the stronger the trend. A small slope indicates a weak trend or consolidation.
4. Slope Thresholds
The system uses thresholds to determine the significance of the slope. These thresholds are set as upper and lower bounds:
Upper Threshold: If the slope exceeds this threshold, the trend is considered strong, and it could trigger a buy signal.
Lower Threshold: If the slope falls below this threshold (into the negative range), it indicates a strong downtrend, and it could trigger a sell signal.
These thresholds help filter out weak or false signals that occur in sideways or low-momentum markets.
5. Positive and Negative Slope Arrays
The system keeps track of both positive and negative slopes over a defined lookback period (e.g., 500 bars). By storing these values, it creates a historical context that helps to assess the current slope in relation to past price movements.
It calculates the standard deviation and the average of these slopes to dynamically adjust the thresholds for each market condition, making the trend detection more adaptive to different types of assets or market phases.
6. Using Slope and Trend Detection in Trading
Buy Signal with Positive Slope: When the slope is positive and exceeds a certain threshold, it confirms that the market is in a strong uptrend. This can be used as a signal to enter a long position or add to existing long trades.
Sell Signal with Negative Slope: When the slope turns negative and falls below the lower threshold, it signals a strong downtrend, indicating a potential short-selling opportunity or the time to exit long positions.
Avoiding Flat Markets: If the slope remains close to zero (neither strongly positive nor negative), it suggests a lack of clear trend or a consolidating market. In these conditions, it might be better to avoid taking new trades or use additional filters to confirm signals.
7. Slope-Based Trend Strength Indicator
You can also use the slope as a measure of trend strength:
Strong Trend: When the slope is steep (either positive or negative), it indicates strong momentum, and you can be more confident in holding a trade in that direction.
Weak Trend or Consolidation: When the slope is flat, it indicates weak price momentum, which may signal a period of consolidation or indecision in the market.
8. Visual Representation
The slope is often visually represented as a gradient or line that fluctuates around a central point (usually zero). Positive values are shown in one color (e.g., green for an uptrend), while negative values are shown in another color (e.g., red for a downtrend). This allows traders to quickly identify the current trend direction and its strength.
Summary:
To use Slope and Trend Detection effectively:
Monitor the slope to determine the trend direction (positive = uptrend, negative = downtrend).
Look for thresholds to identify strong trends. For instance, a steep positive slope signals a strong uptrend, while a steep negative slope signals a strong downtrend.
Use slope changes to confirm buy/sell signals. For example, if you receive a buy signal and the slope is positive and increasing, it confirms that momentum is behind the trade.
Avoid low-slope periods when the slope is close to zero, indicating a lack of trend or sideways market conditions.
This approach helps traders stay on the right side of the trend while avoiding periods of low momentum, enhancing the accuracy of trade signals.
7. Banker Fund Flow Trend
This component identifies potential large institutional moves by tracking specific patterns in price and volume data. When the institutional or "banker" entry or exit conditions are met, it highlights these moments with candles and generates alerts.
The Banker Fund Flow Trend in "The Real Breakout Indicator Hawk" helps detect the flow of institutional (or "smart money") into and out of the market by tracking price trends and large player activity. It uses red and yellow candles to signal when institutional money is influencing the market.
Key Points:
Yellow Candles (Banker Entry):
A yellow candle is plotted when institutional money starts flowing into the market.
This signals a potential buy opportunity, as large market players are likely pushing prices upward.
Red Candles (Banker Exit):
A red candle appears when institutional money starts exiting the market.
This is a signal to consider selling or exiting long positions, as institutional selling could drive prices lower.
Usage:
Yellow candles: Use these as signals to enter long trades or add to existing positions, confirming upward momentum driven by institutional buyers.
Red candles: Treat these as signals to exit long trades or consider short positions, as institutional selling may lead to further downside.

The yellow and red candles provide clear, actionable signals for aligning trades with institutional flows, ensuring you’re following the "smart money."
8. Dynamic Buy/Sell Calculations
A dynamic component is designed to refine the buy and sell signals further based on additional conditions like price patterns, volatility, and Money Flow. This ensures that signals are more responsive to changing market conditions.
The Dynamic Buy/Sell Calculations in "The Real Breakout Indicator Hawk" are designed to refine entry and exit points for trades by using additional conditions beyond simple crossovers. These calculations adapt to the current market conditions, making them more responsive to changes in volatility, trend strength, and momentum.
Key Features:
Dynamic Buy Calculation:
The indicator generates a buy signal when multiple conditions align. These conditions include the money flow (MF) being within a favorable range, the moving average (MA) confirming upward momentum, and the CCI and other trend components indicating strength.
This makes the buy signal more reliable, as it considers multiple aspects of market behavior (price, momentum, and money flow) to avoid false entries.
Dynamic Sell Calculation:
Similarly, the sell signal is triggered when the dynamic conditions indicate downward momentum.
This includes:
The moving average crossing down.
Negative money flow, suggesting selling pressure.
Other trend signals confirming a bearish move.
The dynamic nature of these conditions ensures that sell signals are only generated when there’s a high probability of continued downside movement.
Adaptive to Market Conditions:
The dynamic nature of these calculations means that the buy/sell signals adapt to market changes, like volatility spikes or sudden trend reversals. Instead of relying on static conditions, the system adjusts to current price movements and volatility.
Avoiding Noise:
By adding multiple filters like MF thresholds, slope, and moving averages, the dynamic calculations help reduce false signals that occur in noisy, sideways markets. This helps traders avoid entering trades during periods of low momentum or unclear trends.
How to Use:
Buy Signals: Use these signals to enter long trades when the dynamic conditions align, confirming that upward momentum is strong and backed by institutional flows.

In summary, the Dynamic Buy/Sell Calculations provide a more sophisticated approach to generating trade signals by combining various trend and momentum indicators, helping traders make more informed decisions in different market conditions.
This part of the code is identifying two key trading signals: moments to buy and moments to sell based on the behavior of a calculated trend line.
Buy Condition:
The system looks for a situation where the trend has been moving downward but has started to reverse upward. Specifically, it checks if the trend was declining a little while ago, then stopped falling, and is now starting to rise. If these conditions are met and the trend is still below a certain level, the system considers this a possible time to buy.
Sell Condition:
The opposite happens for selling. The system monitors for a situation where the trend has been moving upward but starts to turn downward. It checks if the trend was rising, leveled off, and now seems to be starting to fall. If these conditions are met and the trend is above a certain level, this could indicate a good time to sell.
Visual Markers:
To help the user easily see these signals on a chart, the system places symbols at specific points. A marker appears on the chart where the conditions for buying or selling are met, allowing the trader to quickly spot potential entry or exit points in the market.
In summary, this logic is designed to detect possible changes in trend direction and signal appropriate times to consider buying or selling, with clear visual markers on the chart for quick identification.
9. Alerts for Buy and Sell
The indicator provides built-in alert conditions for both buy and sell signals. When these conditions are met, the system generates alerts, making it suitable for automated monitoring.
Each of these components works together to detect potential breakout opportunities, trend continuations, and reversals, making the indicator suitable for both short-term and long-term trading strategies.
