TIME-SPLT ACADEMY INDICATOR# TIME-SPLT ACADEMY CISD + FVG + TSM FRACTALS - Comprehensive Market Structure Analysis Tool
## Overview
This indicator combines three essential market structure analysis components into a unified trading tool: Change in State Direction (CISD), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and TSM Fractals. This integration provides traders with a complete framework for identifying market structure breaks, price imbalances, and key pivot levels on any timeframe.
## Component 1: CISD (Change in State Direction)
**What it is:** CISD identifies significant breaks in market structure by tracking when price decisively breaks above previous swing highs (bullish CISD) or below previous swing lows (bearish CISD). This concept is fundamental to understanding trend changes and continuation patterns.
**How it works:**
- Monitors swing highs and lows using customizable pivot periods
- Tracks when price closes above a previous swing high (bullish structure break)
- Tracks when price closes below a previous swing low (bearish structure break)
- Draws horizontal lines from the pivot point to the break point with "CISD" labels
- Works on multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Trading Applications:**
- Identifies trend changes and continuation signals
- Provides entry signals on structure breaks
- Helps determine market bias and direction
## Component 2: FVG (Fair Value Gaps)
**What it is:** Fair Value Gaps are price imbalances that occur when there's a gap between the high of one candle and the low of another candle two periods later, with the middle candle not filling this gap. These represent areas where price moved inefficiently and often return to "fill" the gap.
**How it works:**
- Analyzes 3-candle patterns to identify gaps
- Bearish FVG: Gap between low and high where price dropped leaving unfilled space above
- Bullish FVG: Gap between high and low where price rose leaving unfilled space below
- Tracks 8 different candle body combinations for each direction (up, down, doji patterns)
- Monitors gap mitigation when price returns to fill the imbalance
- Changes color when gaps are partially or fully mitigated
**Gap Detection Logic:**
- Bearish FVG patterns: DDD, DDJ, JDD, UDJ, JDU, UDD, DDU, UDU
- Bullish FVG patterns: DUD, DUJ, JUD, UUJ, JUU, UUD, DUU, UUU
- (D=Down candle, U=Up candle, J=Doji candle)
**Trading Applications:**
- High-probability reversal zones when price returns to FVGs
- Support and resistance levels
- Target areas for limit orders
- Risk management reference points
## Component 3: TSM Fractals
**What it is:** TSM Fractals identify significant pivot highs and lows using Williams Fractal methodology. These mark potential reversal points and key support/resistance levels.
**How it works:**
- Identifies fractal highs: peaks where the center candle's high is higher than surrounding candles
- Identifies fractal lows: valleys where the center candle's low is lower than surrounding candles
- Uses customizable lookback periods (default 15) for fractal identification
- Displays horizontal lines with "$" symbols at fractal levels
- Maintains a configurable number of recent fractals on the chart
**Trading Applications:**
- Key support and resistance levels
- Potential reversal zones
- Confluence with other analysis tools
- Stop loss placement reference points
## Why This Combination Works
**Synergistic Analysis:** Each component provides different but complementary information:
1. **CISD** shows when market structure changes, indicating trend shifts or continuation
2. **FVGs** reveal where price has moved inefficiently and may return for rebalancing
3. **Fractals** highlight key pivot points that often act as support/resistance
**Trading Edge:** The combination allows for:
- **Entry Confirmation:** Wait for CISD breaks near unfilled FVGs at fractal levels
- **Risk Management:** Use FVG boundaries and fractal levels for stop placement
- **Target Selection:** Project moves to opposite FVGs or fractal levels
- **Market Context:** Understand whether you're trading with or against structure
## Key Features
**Multi-Timeframe CISD:**
- Customizable timeframe settings (Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month)
- Adjustable swing length for pivot identification
- Customizable line styles, widths, and colors
- Optional alerts on structure breaks
**Advanced FVG Management:**
- Automatic gap size filtering
- Real-time mitigation tracking
- Color-coded active vs. mitigated gaps
- Optional pip value labels
- Large gap alerts for significant imbalances
**Intelligent Fractal Display:**
- Configurable fractal periods
- Maximum fractal count management
- Clean visual presentation
- Historical fractal preservation
## Settings & Customization
**CISD Settings:**
- Timeframe selection and multipliers
- Swing length adjustment (default 7)
- Line styling options
- Color customization for bullish/bearish breaks
- Alert toggle options
**FVG Settings:**
- Show/hide toggles for each direction

## Educational Value
This indicator teaches traders to:
- Understand market structure concepts
- Recognize price inefficiencies
- Identify key pivot points
- Combine multiple analysis methods
- Develop systematic trading approaches
## Use Cases
**Swing Trading:** Identify major structure breaks with FVG confluence
**Day Trading:** Use lower timeframe CISDs with intraday FVGs
**Scalping:** Quick entries at FVG mitigation near fractal levels
**Position Trading:** Higher timeframe structure analysis with major FVGs
## Technical Implementation
- Utilizes Pine Script v6 for optimal performance
- Efficient array management for historical data
- Real-time calculations without repainting
- Memory-optimized box and line management
- Multi-timeframe data handling with proper security functions
This comprehensive tool eliminates the need for multiple separate indicators, providing everything needed for complete market structure analysis in one cohesive package. The educational component helps traders understand not just what the signals are, but why they work and how to use them effectively in different market conditions.

Troop ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Troop Toolkit indicator by Flux Charts is an all-in-one toolkit to identify Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps, Multi-Timeframe Inversion First Fair Value Gap, Fair Value Gaps, Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Levels, SMT Divergences, EQ Ranges, Efficient Candle Ranges, and Volume Imbalances. This indicator was developed by Flux Charts, utilizing concepts taught and traded by Andrew Macre.
ATTRIBUTION NOTICE:
This indicator incorporates concepts and source code from the indicator “Efficient Candle Range (ECR)” authored by @Joeyheick on TradingView. We have received full written permission from the original author to use and commercialize this code within this invite-only script.
Original script: Efficient Candle Range (ECR):
TROOP TOOLKIT FEATURES:
The Troop Toolkit indicator includes 8 main features:
Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps (FFVG)
Multi-Timeframe Inverse First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVGs)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Levels
SMT Divergences
EQ Ranges (EQR)
Efficient Candle Ranges (ECR)
Volume Imbalances (VI)
Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps (FFVG):
The first feature of this indicator is Multi-Timeframe First Fair Value Gaps (FFVG). These are the first Fair Value Gaps (FVG) that form after a swing high or low is created.
🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?:
To properly understand First Fair Value Gaps (FFVGs), you must understand what a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is. A FVG is an area where the market’s perception of fair value suddenly changes. On your chart, it appears as a three-candle pattern: a large candle in the middle, with smaller candles on each side that don’t fully overlap it. A bullish FVG forms when a bullish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all. A bearish FVG forms when a bearish candle is between two smaller bullish/bearish candles, where the first and third candles’ wicks don’t overlap each other at all.
Examples of Bullish & Bearish FVGs:
🔹Why are Fair Value Gaps important?:
Fair Value Gaps show where price moved so quickly that one side of the market never got a chance to trade. They represent sudden shifts in what traders believe something is worth, where “fair value” changed. When a large candle drives straight through an area without overlap from the candles before and after it, it means buyers or sellers were so aggressive that the market skipped that price zone entirely.
These gaps matter because they mark the moment when confidence in price changes. If price rallies and never pulls back, it signals that traders accept the new higher prices as fair and are willing to keep buying there. The same logic applies in reverse for bearish gaps. They tell you where the market re-priced aggressively and where value was last accepted.
🔹What is a First Fair Value Gap?:
A First Fair Value Gap is the very first fair value gap that forms immediately after a new swing high or swing low. It marks the first sign of imbalance following a key turning point in price.
When a major swing low forms, the first bullish FVG that appears afterward shows where buyers first stepped in with enough strength to shift momentum upward. When a swing high forms, the first bearish FVG that appears afterward shows where sellers first regained control.
Because it’s tied directly to a confirmed swing point, an FFVG carries more weight than a regular FVG that forms randomly in the middle of a large move. It identifies where a new phase of price delivery begins, which is the first sign that the market is repricing after completing a prior leg.
🔹How are First Fair Value Gaps Detected?:
The indicator identifies First Fair Value Gaps (FFVGs) by starting with a swing high or swing low, which is detected using the 5-minute timeframe.
A swing high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the two candles before and after it.
A swing low is formed when a candle’s low is lower than the two candles before and after it.
Each time a new swing high or low is confirmed, the indicator marks that area as a “pivot.” From that moment, the script begins looking for the first valid Fair Value Gap that forms after that swing.
To identify a First Fair Value Gap (FFVG), you should first identify a swing high and swing low. These are the most recent highest and lowest areas price reached. A bullish FFVG is the first bullish FVG that forms after a swing low. A bearish FFVG is the first bearish FVG that forms after a swing high.
This indicator automatically detects bullish and bearish FFVGs across the 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, 4-minute, and 5-minute timeframes simultaneously. You will only be able to view FFVGs from timeframes that are equal to or less than your chart’s timeframe. For example, if you are using a 3-minute chart, you’ll only be able to view 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute FFVGs, but not 4-minute or 5-minute FFVGs.
In the indicator settings, under the “FFVGs” section, you can toggle on/off which timeframes are used for FFVG detections. The following settings correspond to the following timeframes:
1 → 1-minute timeframe
2 → 2-minute timeframe
3 → 3-minute timeframe
4 → 4-minute timeframe
5 → 5-minute timeframe
In this screenshot, the chart timeframe is set to the 5-minute, and all the FFVG timeframes are enabled in the settings. Thus, 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minute, 4-minute, and 5-minute FFVGs will be displayed on the chart.
The ‘Sweep Proximity’ setting determines how soon after a swing high/low the indicator will show the First Fair Value Gap. After a high/low forms, the indicator looks for the very first gap that forms and shows it, but only if it appears within the number of bars you choose. This distance is measured using your current chart timeframe. For example, on a 1-minute chart, a value of 6 means the FFVG must form within 6 bars (6 minutes) after the high/low is detected. Smaller values show only the most immediate FFVGs after a high/low forms. Larger values allow FFVGs to be detected farther away from the high/low, which may display more zones but can increase chart clutter. The default value is 6.
Users can also customize how FFVG zones appear. The settings let you change the color and transparency of bullish and bearish FFVGs, turn the midline on or off, and enable or disable FFVG labels. When labels are enabled, they show the timeframe the FFVG came from, making it easy to identify whether it was detected on the 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, or 5m chart.
Multi-Timeframe Inversion First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVG):
The second feature of this indicator is Multi-Timeframe Inversion First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVG). These form when a FFVG is invalidated by a candle close on the 5-minute timeframe.
Bullish IFFVG: A bullish IFFVG forms when a 5-minute candle closes above a bearish FFVG, invalidating it.
Bearish IFFVG: A bearish IFFVG forms when a 5-minute candle closes below a bearish FFVG, invalidating it.
The IFFVGs will be displayed from all the timeframes that are enabled for FFVGs. For example, if only the 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute FFVGs are enabled, then only IFFVGs from the 1-minute, 2-minute, and 3-minute timeframes will be displayed.
Users can also customize how IFFVG zones appear. The settings allow you to change the color and transparency of bullish and bearish IFFVGs, adjust the color of IFFVG borders, the thickness of the borders, turn the midline on or off, and enable or disable IFFVG labels. When labels are enabled, they show the timeframe the IFFVG came from, making it easy to identify whether it was detected on the 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, or 5m chart.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
The indicator automatically detects regular bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVG). However, the indicator only plots FVGs that are NOT First Fair Value Gaps. This prevents FVGs and FFVGs from overlapping each other. There is no style customization for Fair Value Gaps. Users can only toggle them on or off through the indicator settings.
Liquidity Levels:
The indicator automatically plots Buyside & Sellside liquidity levels using user-specific session highs/lows and swing highs/lows.
Sessions used and their time periods (in EST):
Asia Session (20:00 - 00:00)
London Session (02:00 - 05:00)
NY AM Session (09:30 - 11:00)
NY PM Session (14:00 - 16:00)
All highs/lows that have not been ‘swept’, meaning price never crosses above (for highs) or below (for lows), will remain plotted on the chart. After a level is swept, it will become gray.
Swing Highs/Lows are plotted using the color selected from the ‘Colors’ setting under the ‘Liquidity Levels’ section. These levels are plotted with the following labels “ SSL” for lows and “ BSL” for highs. For example, “5M SSL” would be a 5-minute low.
The Asia Session Highs/Lows are plotted yellow with the following labels “Asia Low” & “Asia High”
The London Session Highs/Lows are plotted green with the following labels “London Low” & “London High”
The NY AM Session Highs/Lows are plotted orange with the following labels “NY AM Low” & “NY AM High”
The NY PM Session Highs/Lows are plotted blue with the following labels “NY PM Low” & “NY PM High”
Users can toggle these levels on/off, toggle session highs/lows on/off, toggle text labels on/off, and customize the colors used for swing highs/lows.
SMT Divergence:
This indicator automatically highlights SMT Divergences that occur between the current selected chart ticker and a second user-selected ticker.
A SMT Divergence forms when the prices of the currently selected chart ticker and the user-selected ticker don’t follow each other. For example, if the current chart’s ticker symbol is SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and the user-selected ticker is $ES. If SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ does not sweep the low of the NY AM Session, but NYSE:ES sweeps that same exact session’s low during the same candle, then a SMT Divergence is detected.
In the images below, SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and NYSE:ES form a low at 10:45 AM on August 27th. At 11:30 AM, the 10:45 AM low is taken out on $NQ. However, on NYSE:ES , price failed to take out this exact low at 11:30 AM. Thus, an SMT Divergence is detected, and a bubble is plotted on the SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ chart.
NYSE:ES Chart:
SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ Chart:
When hovering over the SMT Divergence bubble, a textbox will appear which includes more information about the current SMT Divergence. These text boxes can include one of the following messages:
$TICKER failed high/low
$TICKER took high/low
$TICKER failed high/low
$TICKER took high/low
“$TICKER failed high/low” and “$TICKER failed high/low”: This textbox message occurs when the chart’s symbol creates a new high/low after a high/low formed, but the user-selected ticker fails to create a new higher high or lower low (similar to the SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ and NYSE:ES example images above).
“$TICKER took high/low” and “$TICKER took high/low”: This textbox image occurs when the user-selected ticker creates a new higher high / lower low after a high/low formed, but the chart’s ticker fails to create a new higher high or lower low.
The indicator uses the levels described above in the ‘Liquidity Levels’ section to detect SMT Divergences. This includes all the session highs/lows and swing highs/lows.
Users can toggle on/off SMT Divergences through the settings. They can also change the ticker used for detections. Since SMT Divergences occur by comparing two tickers, the inputted ticker within the settings will always be compared to the current selected ticker on your chart.
Users can also adjust the colors used for SMT Divergence bubbles at highs and lows. By default, green bubbles appear when an SMT Divergence occurs from a low, and red bubbles appear when an SMT Divergence occurs from a high.
EQ Range:
The EQ Range shows you where price is finding fair value during the New York session. It does this by comparing two VWAP levels: one influenced by global trading and one driven by New York session volume. When both are available, it plots a live zone between them.
This zone updates every bar and extends to the right, so you can see where price may consolidate, stall, or snap back toward during the New York session. The EQ Range only appears during the New York session.
Within the indicator settings, users can toggle the EQ Range zone on/off.
Efficient Candle Range:
Efficient Candle Ranges (ECR) mark areas where the market is moving smoothly without one side (buyers or sellers) moving price aggressively. An “efficient candle” is simply a candle where the body is small compared to the whole candle and the wicks are fairly similar in size. That means buyers and sellers both participated, and price wasn’t pushed too far in either direction.
When one of these candles forms, the indicator creates a zone using its high and low. If more efficient candles appear in a row, the zone can widen to include any new highs or lows they create. The box continues to extend forward as long as price stays inside it.
If price closes outside the top or bottom of the box, the zone is no longer active and visually fades out. While active, it shows where the market is moving in a controlled way, which typically leads to pauses, retests, or a strong move once price breaks out of the range.
Within the indicator settings, users can customize the active ECR zone color, inactive ECR zone colors, and the text color for ECR labels. ECRs can be toggled on/off as well.
Volume Imbalance:
A Volume Imbalance forms when one candle does not properly overlap the trading range of the previous candle. For example, if a bullish candle opens above the previous candle’s close and price did not trade back down into that gap, there was no two-way trade in that price region. That means sellers never had a chance to transact there. The same applies in reverse for bearish moves. When that happens, there is a “missing volume” zone between the two candles because one side of the auction was skipped.
When the indicator detects that kind of gap, where the open and close relationship between two candles leaves untraded space, it marks that area with a box labeled “VI.” A bullish volume imbalance means buyers pushed through a level without sellers trading back into it. A bearish volume imbalance means sellers drove price lower without buyers filling in behind them.
Once price has fully filled the gap, meaning it traded back between the area that was skipped, the gap is deemed as inactive and removed from the chart.
In the settings, users can toggle on/off Volume Imbalances and also adjust the colors for Bullish VIs and Bearish VIs.
Important Notes:
TradingView has limitations when running features on multiple timeframes, such as FFVGs and IFFVGs, which can result in the following restriction:
Computation Error:
The computation of using MTF features is very intensive on TradingView. This can sometimes cause calculation timeouts. When this occurs, simply force the recalculation by modifying one indicator’s settings or by removing the indicator and adding it to your chart again.
UNIQUENESS:
The Troop Toolkit indicator solves a major workflow problem that has never been automated before on TradingView. The most important piece: automatic detection of First Fair Value Gaps (FFVGs) and their proper conversion into Inversion First Fair Value Gaps (IFFVGs). These two concepts require strict rules, swing validation, multi-timeframe comparison, and invalidation logic that traders can currently only do manually. There is no other indicator on TradingView that handles FFVG + IFFVG logic correctly across multiple intraday timeframes at once. Before this tool was created, traders had to manually scan five different timeframes every day and track every first fair value gap that formed after a significant high/low was formed. This took hours each week and was prone to inconsistencies. Troop Toolkit automates the entire process with clear validation rules, making this the first indicator to fully operationalize FFVG + IFFVG workflow.
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).
Luxy BIG beautiful Dynamic ORBThis is an advanced Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator that tracks price breakouts from the first 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes of the trading session. It provides complete trade management including entry signals, stop-loss placement, take-profit targets, and position sizing calculations.
The ORB strategy is based on the concept that the opening range of a trading session often acts as support/resistance, and breakouts from this range tend to lead to significant moves.
What Makes This Different?
Most ORB indicators simply draw horizontal lines and leave you to figure out the rest. This indicator goes several steps further:
Multi-Stage Tracking
Instead of just one ORB timeframe, this tracks FOUR simultaneously (5min, 15min, 30min, 60min). Each stage builds on the previous one, giving you multiple trading opportunities throughout the session.
Active Trade Management
When a breakout occurs, the indicator automatically calculates and displays entry price, stop-loss, and multiple take-profit targets. These lines extend forward and update in real-time until the trade completes.
Cycle Detection
Unlike indicators that only show the first breakout, this tracks the complete cycle: Breakout → Retest → Re-breakout. You can see when price returns to test the ORB level after breaking out (potential re-entry).
Failed Breakout Warning
If price breaks out but quickly returns inside the range (within a few bars), the label changes to "FAILED BREAK" - warning you to exit or avoid the trade.
Position Sizing Calculator
Built-in risk management that tells you exactly how many shares to buy based on your account size and risk tolerance. No more guessing or manual calculations.
Advanced Filtering
Optional filters for volume confirmation, trend alignment, and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to reduce false signals and improve win rate.
Core Features Explained
### 1. Multi-Stage ORB Levels
The indicator builds four separate Opening Range levels:
ORB 5 - First 5 minutes (fastest signals, most volatile)
ORB 15 - First 15 minutes (balanced, most popular)
ORB 30 - First 30 minutes (slower, more reliable)
ORB 60 - First 60 minutes (slowest, most confirmed)
Each level is drawn as a horizontal range on your chart. As time progresses, the ranges expand to include more price action. You can enable or disable any stage and assign custom colors to each.
How it works: During the opening minutes, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low. Once the time period completes, those levels become your ORB high and low for that stage.
### 2. Breakout Detection
When price closes outside the ORB range, a label appears:
BREAK UP (green label above price) - Price closed above ORB High
BREAK DOWN (red label below price) - Price closed below ORB Low
The label shows which ORB stage triggered (ORB5, ORB15, etc.) and the cycle number if tracking multiple breakouts.
Important: Signals appear on bar close only - no repainting. What you see is what you get.
### 3. Retest Detection
After price breaks out and moves away, if it returns to test the ORB level, a "RETEST" label appears (orange). This indicates:
The original breakout level is now acting as support/resistance
Potential re-entry opportunity if you missed the first breakout
Confirmation that the level is significant
The indicator requires price to move a minimum distance away before considering it a valid retest (configurable in settings).
### 4. Failed Breakout Detection
If price breaks out but returns inside the ORB range within a few bars (before the breakout is "committed"), the original label changes to "FAILED BREAK" in orange.
This warns you:
The breakout lacked conviction
Consider exiting if already in the trade
Wait for better setup
Committed Breakout: The indicator tracks how many bars price stays outside the range. Only after staying outside for the minimum number of bars does it become a committed breakout that can be retested.
### 5. TP/SL Lines (Trade Management)
When a breakout occurs, colored horizontal lines appear showing:
Entry Line (cyan for long, orange for short) - Your entry price (the ORB level)
Stop Loss Line (red) - Where to exit if trade goes against you
TP1, TP2, TP3 Lines (same color as entry) - Profit targets at 1R, 2R, 3R
These lines extend forward as new bars form, making it easy to track your trade. When a target is hit, the line turns green and the label shows a checkmark.
Lines freeze (stop updating) when:
Stop loss is hit
The final enabled take-profit is hit
End of trading session (optional setting)
### 6. Position Sizing Dashboard
The dashboard (bottom-left corner by default) shows real-time information:
Current ORB stage and range size
Breakout status (Inside Range / Break Up / Break Down)
Volume confirmation (if filter enabled)
Trend alignment (if filter enabled)
Entry and Stop Loss prices
All enabled Take Profit levels with percentages
Risk/Reward ratio
Position sizing: Max shares to buy and total risk amount
Position Sizing Example:
If your account is $25,000 and you risk 1% per trade ($250), and the distance from entry to stop loss is $0.50, the calculator shows you can buy 500 shares (250 / 0.50 = 500).
### 7. FVG Filter (Fair Value Gap)
Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies - gaps left by strong momentum where one candle's high doesn't overlap with a previous candle's low (or vice versa).
When enabled, this filter:
Detects bullish and bearish FVGs
Draws semi-transparent boxes around these gaps
Only allows breakout signals if there's an FVG near the breakout level
Why this helps: FVGs indicate institutional activity. Breakouts through FVGs tend to be stronger and more reliable.
Proximity setting: Controls how close the FVG must be to the ORB level. 2.0x means the breakout can be within 2 times the FVG size - a reasonable default.
### 8. Volume & Trend Filters
Volume Filter:
Requires current volume to be above average (customizable multiplier). High volume breakouts are more likely to sustain.
Set minimum multiplier (e.g., 1.5x = 50% above average)
Set "strong volume" multiplier (e.g., 2.5x) that bypasses other filters
Dashboard shows current volume ratio
Trend Filter:
Only shows breakouts aligned with a higher timeframe trend. Choose from:
VWAP - Price above/below volume-weighted average
EMA - Price above/below exponential moving average
SuperTrend - ATR-based trend indicator
Combined modes (VWAP+EMA, VWAP+SuperTrend) for stricter filtering
### 9. Pullback Filter (Advanced)
Purpose:
Waits for price to pull back slightly after initial breakout before confirming the signal.
This reduces false breakouts from immediate reversals.
How it works:
- After breakout is detected, indicator waits for a small pullback (default 2%)
- Once pullback occurs AND price breaks out again, signal is confirmed
- If no pullback within timeout period (5 bars), signal is issued anyway
Settings:
Enable Pullback Filter: Turn this filter on/off
Pullback %: How much price must pull back (2% is balanced)
Timeout (bars): Max bars to wait for pullback (5 is standard)
When to use:
- Choppy markets with many fake breakouts
- When you want higher quality signals
- Combine with Volume filter for maximum confirmation
Trade-off:
- Better signal quality
- May miss some valid fast moves
- Slight entry delay
How to Use This Indicator
### For Beginners - Simple Setup
Add the indicator to your chart (5-minute or 15-minute timeframe recommended)
Leave all default settings - they work well for most stocks
Watch for BREAK UP or BREAK DOWN labels to appear
Check the dashboard for entry, stop loss, and targets
Use the position sizing to determine how many shares to buy
Basic Trading Plan:
Wait for a clear breakout label
Enter at the ORB level (or next candle open if you're late)
Place stop loss where the red line indicates
Take profit at TP1 (50% of position) and TP2 (remaining 50%)
### For Advanced Traders - Customized Setup
Choose which ORB stages to track (you might only want ORB15 and ORB30)
Enable filters: Volume (stocks) or Trend (trending markets)
Enable FVG filter for institutional confirmation
Set "Track Cycles" mode to catch retests and re-breakouts
Customize stop loss method (ATR for volatile stocks, ORB% for stable ones)
Adjust risk per trade and account size for accurate position sizing
Advanced Strategy Example:
Enable ORB15 only (disable others for cleaner chart)
Turn on Volume filter at 1.5x with Strong at 2.5x
Enable Trend filter using VWAP
Set Signal Mode to "Track Cycles" with Max 3 cycles
Wait for aligned breakouts (Volume + Trend + Direction)
Enter on retest if you missed the initial break
### Timeframe Recommendations
5-minute chart: Scalping, very active trading, crypto
15-minute chart: Day trading, balanced approach (most popular)
30-minute chart: Swing entries, less screen time
60-minute chart: Position trading, longer holds
The indicator works on any intraday timeframe, but ORB is fundamentally a day trading strategy. Daily charts don't make sense for ORB.

## Tips & Best Practices
### General Trading Tips
ORB works best on liquid instruments (stocks with good volume, major crypto pairs)
First hour of the session is most important - that's when ORB is forming
Breakouts WITH the trend have higher success rates - use the trend filter
Failed breakouts are common - use the "Min Bars Outside" setting to filter weak moves
Not every day produces good ORB setups - be patient and selective
### Position Sizing Best Practices
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade
Use the built-in calculator - don't guess your position size
Update your account size monthly as it grows
Smaller accounts: use $ Amount mode for simplicity
Larger accounts: use % of Account mode for scaling
### Take Profit Strategy
Most traders use: 50% at TP1, 50% at TP2
Aggressive: Hold through TP1 for TP2 or TP3
Conservative: Full exit at TP1 (1:1 risk/reward)
After TP1 hits, consider moving stop to breakeven
TP3 rarely hits - only on strong trending days
### Filter Combinations
Maximum Quality: Volume + Trend + FVG (fewest signals, highest quality)
Balanced: Volume + Trend (good quality, reasonable frequency)
Active Trading: No filters or Volume only (many signals, lower quality)
Trending Markets: Trend filter essential (indices, crypto)
Range-Bound: Volume + FVG (avoid trend filter)
### Common Mistakes to Avoid
Chasing breakouts - wait for the bar to close, don't FOMO into wicks
Ignoring the stop loss - always use it, move it manually if needed
Over-leveraging - the calculator shows MAX shares, you can buy less
Trading every signal - quality > quantity, use filters
Not tracking results - keep a journal to see what works for YOU

## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are no signals appearing?
A: Check that you're on an intraday timeframe (5min, 15min, etc.) and that the current time is within your session hours. Also verify that "Enable Breakout Detection" is ON and at least one ORB stage is enabled. If using filters, they might be blocking signals - try disabling them temporarily.
Q: What's the best ORB stage to use?
A: ORB15 (15 minutes) is most popular and balanced. ORB5 gives faster signals but more noise. ORB30 and ORB60 are slower but more reliable. Many traders use ORB15 + ORB30 together.
Q: Should I enable all the filters?
A: Start with no filters to see all signals. If too many false signals, add Volume filter first (stocks) or Trend filter (trending markets). FVG filter is most restrictive - use for maximum quality but fewer signals.
Q: How do I know which stop loss method to use?
A: ATR works for most cases - it adapts to volatility. Use ORB% if you want predictable stop placement. Swing is for respecting chart structure. Safer gives you the most room but largest risk.
Q: Can I use this for swing trading?
A: Not really - ORB is fundamentally an intraday strategy. The ranges reset each day. For swing trading, look at weekly support/resistance or moving averages instead.
Q: Why do TP/SL lines disappear sometimes?
A: Lines freeze (stop extending) when: stop loss is hit, the last enabled take-profit is hit, or end of session arrives (if "Freeze at EOD" is enabled). This is intentional - the trade is complete.
Q: What's the difference between "First Only" and "Track Cycles"?
A: "First Only" shows one breakout UP and one DOWN per day maximum - clean but might miss opportunities. "Track Cycles" shows breakout-retest-rebreak sequences - more signals but busier chart.
Q: Is position sizing accurate for options/forex?
A: The calculator is designed for shares (stocks). For options, ignore the share count and use the risk amount. For forex, you'll need to adapt the lot size calculation manually.
Q: How much capital do I need to use this?
A: The indicator works for any account size, but practical day trading typically requires $25,000 in the US due to Pattern Day Trader rules. Adjust the "Account Size" setting to match your capital.
Q: Can I backtest this strategy?
A: This is an indicator, not a strategy script, so it doesn't have built-in backtesting. You can visually review historical signals or code a strategy script using similar logic.
Q: Why does the dashboard show different entry price than the breakout label?
A: If you're looking at an old breakout, the ORB levels may have changed when the next stage completed. The dashboard always shows the CURRENT active range and trade setup.
Q: What's a good win rate to expect?
A: ORB strategies typically see 40-60% win rate depending on market conditions and filters used. The strategy relies on positive risk/reward ratios (2:1 or better) to be profitable even with moderate win rates.
Q: Does this work on crypto?
A: Yes, but crypto trades 24/7 so you need to define what "session start" means. Use Session Mode = Custom and set your preferred daily reset time (e.g., 0000-2359 UTC).

GEEKSDOBYTE IFVG w/ Buy/Sell Signals1. Inputs & Configuration
Swing Lookback (swingLen)
Controls how many bars on each side are checked to mark a swing high or swing low (default = 5).
Booleans to Toggle Plotting
showSwings – Show small triangle markers at swing highs/lows
showFVG – Show Fair Value Gap zones
showSignals – Show “BUY”/“SELL” labels when price inverts an FVG
showDDLine – Show a yellow “DD” line at the close of the inversion bar
showCE – Show an orange dashed “CE” line at the midpoint of the gap area
2. Swing High / Low Detection
isSwingHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLen, swingLen)
Marks a bar as a swing high if its high is higher than the highs of the previous swingLen bars and the next swingLen bars.
isSwingLow = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLen, swingLen)
Marks a bar as a swing low if its low is lower than the lows of the previous and next swingLen bars.
Plotting
If showSwings is true, small red downward triangles appear above swing highs, and green upward triangles below swing lows.
3. Fair Value Gap (3‐Bar) Identification
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is defined here using a simple three‐bar logic (sometimes called an “inefficiency” in price):
Bullish FVG (bullFVG)
Checks if, two bars ago, the low of that bar (low ) is strictly greater than the current bar’s high (high).
In other words:
bullFVG = low > high
Bearish FVG (bearFVG)
Checks if, two bars ago, the high of that bar (high ) is strictly less than the current bar’s low (low).
In other words:
bearFVG = high < low
When either condition is true, it identifies a three‐bar “gap” or unfilled imbalance in the market.
4. Drawing FVG Zones
If showFVG is enabled, each time a bullish or bearish FVG is detected:
Bullish FVG Zone
Draws a semi‐transparent green box from the bar two bars ago (where the gap began) at low up to the current bar’s high.
Bearish FVG Zone
Draws a semi‐transparent red box from the bar two bars ago at high down to the current bar’s low.
These colored boxes visually highlight the “fair value imbalance” area on the chart.
5. Inversion (Fill) Detection & Entry Signals
An inversion is defined as the price “closing through” that previously drawn FVG:
Bullish Inversion (bullInversion)
Occurs when a bullish FVG was identified on bar-2 (bullFVG), and on the current bar the close is greater than that old bar-2 low:
bullInversion = bullFVG and close > low
Bearish Inversion (bearInversion)
Occurs when a bearish FVG was identified on bar-2 (bearFVG), and on the current bar the close is lower than that old bar-2 high:
bearInversion = bearFVG and close < high
When an inversion is true, the indicator optionally draws two lines and a label (depending on input toggles):
Draw “DD” Line (yellow, solid)
Plots a horizontal yellow line from the current bar’s close price extending five bars forward (bar_index + 5). This is often referred to as a “Demand/Daily Demand” line, marking where price inverted the gap.
Draw “CE” Line (orange, dashed)
Calculates the midpoint (ce) of the original FVG zone.
For a bullish inversion:
ce = (low + high) / 2
For a bearish inversion:
ce = (high + low) / 2
Plots a horizontal dashed orange line at that midpoint for five bars forward.
Plot Label (“BUY” / “SELL”)
If showSignals is true, a green “BUY” label is placed at the low of the current bar when a bullish inversion occurs.
Likewise, a red “SELL” label at the high of the current bar when a bearish inversion happens.
6. Putting It All Together
Swing Markers (Optional):
Visually confirm recent swing highs and swing lows with small triangles.
FVG Zones (Optional):
Highlight areas where price left a 3-bar gap (bullish in green, bearish in red).
Inversion Confirmation:
Wait for price to close beyond the old FVG boundary.
Once that happens, draw the yellow “DD” line at the close, the orange dashed “CE” line at the zone’s midpoint, and place a “BUY” or “SELL” label exactly on that bar.
User Controls:
All of the above elements can be individually toggled on/off (showSwings, showFVG, showSignals, showDDLine, showCE).
In Practice
A bullish FVG forms whenever a strong drop leaves a gap in liquidity (three bars ago low > current high).
When price later “fills” that gap by closing above the old low, the script signals a potential long entry (BUY), draws a demand line at the closing price, and marks the midpoint of that gap.
Conversely, a bearish FVG marks a potential short zone (three bars ago high < current low). When price closes below that gap’s high, it signals a SELL, with similar lines drawn.
By combining these elements, the indicator helps users visually identify inefficiencies (FVGs), confirm when price inverts/fills them, and place straightforward buy/sell labels alongside reference lines for trade management.
Inverse Fair Value Gap [Pro+]Introduction
Inverse Fair Value Gap° is a fully customizable charting tool built to track inversion fair value gap logic that occur after displacement events—specifically when Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are closed through, and effectively flipping their original state. The tool is inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, offering a clean visual interface to support traders studying price behaviour after liquidity sweeps, FVG closures, and highlighting mechanical swings targets.
This indicator does not draw zones or suggest direction. It operates entirely on confirmed price events and produces logic-bound visuals designed for traders who already understand IFVG-based reasoning and seek visual consistency across sessions, Timeframe on any instrument.
Key Terms and Definitions
Swing High / Swing Low: A swing high is a local price peak with lower highs on either side. A swing low is a local trough with higher lows on either side. These are used to detect where liquidity may rest and are required for confirming the initial raid condition in the IFVG model.
Liquidity Raid: This occurs when price trades through a prior swing high or low, effectively “sweeping” a level where orders may be clustered around. The raid is a required precursor to inversion logic in this model. The tool will not evaluate a potential Fair Value Gap or Inversion Fair Value Gap unless a swing high or low has been taken first.
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance that occurs when a strong move leaves a gap between candles—specifically, when the high of one candle and the low of a later candle do not overlap. FVGs often emerge during displacement and are commonly studied as inefficiencies within a price leg.
Inversion Fair Value Gap: An inversion happens when price fully closes through an existing Fair Value Gap that raided liquidity, suggesting the original imbalance rebalanced, and looks to reverse its original role. For example, when a bearish FVG is closed above after raiding a swing low, it may present a shift in orderflow (bullish inversion). The tool recognizes IFVGs as “inverted” after a candle body candle closes through the gap post raid.
Displacement: A strong directional price move, typically with momentum, that leaves a Fair Value Gap behind. Displacement is important in inversion logic, as it creates the context and confidence in comparing and contrasting FVGs and Inversions for obvious flips in market behaviour.
IFVG Line: Once inversion occurs, the indicator draws a single horizontal array on the candle's close. It marks the start of model activation. This is not a prediction level or a support/resistance area, as it merely serves as a reference for when model logic is sequentially active.
Opposing Swing: The swing high or low opposite the one that was swept during the initial raid. This becomes the model’s first target for mechanical delivery and is automatically drawn once the IFVG line is plotted. When price reaches this swing, the model has reached its mechanical objective and could offer opportunities for further continuation to additional liquidity pools if orderflow continues to be present.
Invalidation: The Inversion Fair Value Gap is considered invalid in one of two scenarios, which the user can toggle individually: a body print back above/below the inversion in bearish/bullish conditions, or trading above/below the most recent swing high/low after the liquidity raid. The IFVG line will continue extending until the setup is invalidated by the chosen toggle, or when the Opposing Swing is reached.
Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint (50%) of the FVG or IFVG. This line can be optionally displayed for users who use the midpoint of imbalances for reference of imbalance respect. It is not required by the model’s internal logic but may assist with discretionary interpretation.
Description
At its core, IFVG° follows a structured three-step logic sequence: a FVG is created, liquidity is taken, and the Fair Value Gap (FVG) inside of the leg of the raid is closed through, signally a potential orderflow shift. Once inversion is confirmed, an IFVG line is plotted at the close of the candle that caused the inversion, making it the structural anchor for the model.
The tool does not account for partial fills or candle wicks for FVGs or IFVGs. Only full-body closures through a qualifying FVG are recognized. When this occurs, a bullish or bearish inversion is plotted and the model becomes active. From there, the opposing swing (the unswept high or low from the displacement leg) is automatically drawn as the target for the model.
The model remains active until either the opposing swing is tagged (completion) or Invalidation Condition is triggered (close through IFVG, or price violating the liquidity raid swing). Upon invalidation, the IFVG line turns gray, signaling that the structure is no longer valid for ongoing tracking.
Key Features
The Bias allows traders to define whether to track bullish inversions (closing above bearish FVGs), bearish inversions (closing below bullish FVGs), or neutral to see both. This allows isolated directional focus as well as the ability to display all models.
The Liquidity Timeframe defines the Timeframe for swing highs and lows that are identified for the required liquidity raid. The Chart mode allows analysts to use the active chart Timeframe. Auto enables a pre-defined Timeframe Alignment, explained inside of the setting tooltip. Custom allows for user-defined Timeframe alignment, which is helpful when syncing with specific higher-Timeframe structures. Session allows the user to use session highs and lows for the liquidity raid. Observe the difference in the IFVG' model activations based on different Liquidity Timeframe configurations:
Chart:
Automatic:
Custom (4H):
Session:
The FVG Filter Timeframe requires the IFVG setup to trade into a FVG before qualifying the raid filter. For instance, setting this to 4H ensures that only setups that form within a 4-hour FVG. This gives analysts an additional filter to qualify the start of the mechanical model.
The Session Filter enables traders to define up to four specific Time blocks when the model is permitted to trigger. The Macros Only toggle filters setups further by limiting activation to the first and last 10 minutes of each hour, a filter inspired for intraday traders and scalpers.
The Invalidation Condition determines when a IFVG is considered no longer valid. The Close option will maintain the inversion as active until price prints a body past the IFVG. Swing will maintain the inversion as active until the most recent swing from the liquidity raid is traded through; in this case a warning icon will appear once price prints a candle body past the IFVG.
Model Style includes customizable controls for the IFVG line, the opposing swing marker, and invalidated states. Label appearance, line styles, and extension behaviour are fully user-controlled. Traders can also enable the Consequent Encroachment (CE) line, which marks the 50% midpoint of the FVG.
An Info Table is available to display the charts Timeframe, current model state, toggled bias, active Timeframes, asset, and Time filter. Its position is fully customizable and can be moved to match chart preferences.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator Effectively
IFVG° is not meant to identify trade signals, entries, or exits. It is best used as a visual tracker and confluence for structure-based delivery. The tool excels as a companion for:
Journaling and reviewing IFVG-based setups across Timeframes and sessions
Studying structural completion or invalidation behaviour
Tracking delayed deliveries and retracement-based logic
Traders using the tool should be familiar with FVG formations, inversion criterias, and the importance of orderflow once an opposing swing is reached.
Usage Guidance
Add the IFVG° to a TradingView chart. This is a fractal script and can be applied across any Timeframe or asset pairing.
Use the IFVG line to track inversion structure, monitor when inversions are created and negated, and reference the opposing swing to determine whether structural delivery has completed.
Use the IFVG in combination with your own discretion and narrative to assess when the model has flipped, held, or broken.

Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
We believe that the analytical elements that are within this indicator work best when they co-exist with each other on the chart. Trading often requires taking multiple elements into consideration for better accuracy on market analysis. Thus, we combined some of the useful strategies in one indicator for ease of use.
1. Volumized Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps often occur when there is an imbalance in the market, and can be spotted with a specific formation on the chart.
The volume when the FVG occurs plays an important role when determining the strength of it, so we've placed two bars on the FVG zone, indicating the high & low volumes of the FVG. The high volume is the total volume of the last two bars on a bullish FVG, while the low volume is - of the FVG. For a bearish FVG, the total volume of the last two bars is the low volume. The indicator can also detect FVGs that exist in other timeframes than the current chart.
2. Volumized Order Blocks
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenerio, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
3. Volumized Breaker Blocks
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
4. Market Structures
Sometimes specific market structures form and break as the market fills buy & sell orders. Formed Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) often mean that market will change direction, and they can be spotted by inspecting low & high pivot points of the chart.
5. Equal Highs & Lows
Equal Highs & Lows occur when there is a significant amount of difference between a candle's close price and it's high / low value, and it happens again in a specific range. EQH and EQL usually mean there is a resistance that blocks the price from going further up / down.
6. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity zones are where most traders place their take-profits and stop-losses in their long / short positions. They are spotted by using high & low pivot points on the chart.
7. Premium & Discount Zones
The premium zone is a zone that is over the fair value of the asset's price, and the discount zone is the opposite. They are formed by the latest high & low pivot points.
8. MTF Highs / Lows
MTF Highs / Lows are actually pretty self-explanatory, you can enable / disable Daily, Weekly, Monthly & Pre-Market Highs and Lows.
🚩UNIQUENESS
Our new indicator offers a comprehensive toolkit for traders, combining multiple analytical elements with customizable settings to aid in decision-making across different market conditions and timeframes. The volumetric information of both FVGs and Order & Breaker Blocks will be present in your chart to serve you greater detail about them. The indicator also efficiently identifies market structures, liquidity zones and premium & discount zones to give you an insight about the current state of the market. And finally with the use of multiple timeframes , you can easily take a look at the bigger picture. We recommend reading the "How Does It Work" section of the descripton to get a better understanding about how this indicator is unique to others.

Radi IQ [TradingIQ]Introducing "Radi IQ".
Radi IQ is a comprehensive market structure indicator designed to provide traders with a detailed view of key price levels and market behavior. It combines several analytical methods—including internal and external structure analysis, fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, rejection blocks, premium discount zones, equal levels, directional liquidity grabs, and trend meters —to help users better understand areas of support and resistance, potential turning points, and liquidity events in the market.
Key Components and Their Functions
Market Structure Analysis
Internal and External Structure : The indicator evaluates market structure on two levels. The internal analysis focuses on immediate price action (e.g., recent support/resistance and swing points), while the external analysis uses a higher timeframe to provide context. This dual approach helps to confirm the strength of key levels by comparing short-term moves with the broader market trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) : These signals highlight moments when the market shifts its behavior. A BoS indicates that a previous level of support or resistance has been overcome, while a CHoCH signals a change in the market’s character. Both are marked clearly on the chart using distinct color codes.
Break of Structure + (BoS+) and Change of Character + (CHoCH+) : These signals highlight moments when the market shifts its behavior and is confirmed by prior price action. A BoS + indicates that a previous level of support or resistance has been overcome, while price action achieves higher highs and higher lows (resistance break) or lower highs and lower lows (support break). CHoCH + signals a change in the market’s character when supported by prior price action - lower highs for a support break and higher lows for a resistance break.
BoS and CHoCH
The image above shows BoS and CHoCH identified on the price chart, and explains what each signifies.
A Break Of Structure (BoS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previously established support or resistance level. It indicates that the current trend or market pattern is being challenged, and the market may be ready to change direction.
A Change of Character (CHoCH) describes a shift in how the market behaves. A CHoCH occurs when, in an uptrend, a previously established support level breaks, or in a downtrend, a previously established resistance level breaks.
This break indicates that the market's typical structure is shifting, suggesting that the current trend may be losing its strength and that a reversal or a new trend could be developing.
CHoCH+
The image above explains CHoCH+ and how it forms, while highlighting an instance where a downside CHoCH+ formed following lower highs.
A Change of Character + (CHoCH+) describes a shift in how the market behaves that is supported by prior price action. For support breaks, price must form lower highs before breaking support.
The image above explains CHoCH+ for resistance breaks, while highlighting an instance where a resistance point broke that was supported by prior price action.
BoS+
The image above explains BoS+ and how it forms, while highlighting an instance where an upside BoS+ formed following higher highs and higher lows.
A BoS+ resistance break requires higher highs and higher lows prior to the resistance point being closed over.
The image above explains BoS+ support break, while highlighting an instance where a downside BoS+ formed following lower highs and lower lows.
A BoS+ support break requires lower highs and lower lows prior to the support point being closed under.
Future BoS and CHoCH
Radi IQ also displays where the next BoS and CHoCH points are located.
The image above shows the feature in action. With this, traders will always know where the next key support/resistance breakpoints are before they actually occur.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator identifies gaps in the price where little or no trading occurred—known as fair value gaps. These gaps can act as temporary support or resistance and may indicate areas where the market is likely to correct. FVGs are displayed with clear color gradients that differentiate between upward and downward gaps.
The image above shows an identified upside FVG. In the image, the identified upside FVG acted as a support point for price.
The image above shows an identified downside FVG. In the image, the identified downside FVG acted as a resistance point for price.
Low Volume FVG
In addition to identifying trading FVGs - Radi IQ can also specifically detect low volume fair value gaps. Ideally, these fair value gaps will form inside a low volume node on a volume profile.
Low volume node FVGs are important because these are areas where very little trading occurred and is confirmable, indicating an imbalance in supply and demand. Since few trades took place there, the market often moves quickly through these zones when revisited, which can lead to rapid price changes. This "gap" in trading activity can serve as a signal for potential reversals or fast moves, offering opportunities to enter or exit positions based on expected market behavior.
The image above shows identified FVGs that formed on low volume.
Large Area FVGs
Radi IQ is also capable of filtering out “inconsequential” FVGs. With this, Radi IQ can be enabled to only mark FVGs that cover a wide price range.
The image above shows the feature enabled, and all identified FVGs formed with a wide price range.
Large Area FVGs and Low Volume FVGs Combined
Traders can also enable Radi IQ to only mark FVGs that form on low volume and have a wide price range - allowing traders to only identify the highest quality FVGs on the chart.
Order Blocks and Premium Discount Zones
Order Blocks: Radi IQ detects areas where large orders have previously been placed by institutional traders. These blocks can act as strong levels of support or resistance, and the indicator marks bullish and bearish order blocks with dedicated colors.
What is an order block?
Order blocks are clusters of orders that institutions have executed to enter or exit a market position. They typically form when there is a period of consolidation before a significant move. For example, the last bullish candle before a strong down move may indicate a supply order block, while the last bearish candle before a sharp rally might be considered a demand order block.
Why They Form:
Institutions don’t trade in small, sporadic amounts; they accumulate or distribute large volumes of an asset. To avoid slippage and minimize market impact, they execute these orders over a zone rather than at a single price point. This creates a recognizable “block” on the chart.
Order Block Identification Types
Strength Score
The “Strength Score” order block detection mode is a TradingIQ proprietary ranking system for identified order blocks.
Purpose
The purpose of the “Strength Score” ranking system is to determine the “strength” or significance of an order block and rate the zone’s likelihood to act as support/resistance when retested in the future.
The scoring system ranks from 0 - 10, with “0” indicating a “weak” score or low likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
A rating of “5” indicates a “moderate” score, indicating that the order block has a moderate likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
A rating of “10” indicates a “strong” score, indicating that the order block has a strong likelihood of acting as a key support/resistance level when retested in the future.
How It Works
The score is calculated by examining the price move following the formation of an order block. The stronger the price move after an order block forms - the higher the Strength Score.
The image above shows a bearish order block with a score of “5” identified on the chart. The order block successfully operates as a resistance point when retested.
The image above shows a bullish order block with a score of “5” identified on the chart. The order block successfully operates as a resistance point when retested.
Volume-Based
The volume-based order block detection method detects traditional order blocks, but goes one step further by identifying the highest concentration point of volume for the bar and drawing the order block around this concentration point.
Key features when using the volume-based order block detection method:
The top of the order block is anchored to the top of the highest volume concentration point of the bar
The bottom of the order block is anchored to the bottom of the highest volume concentration point of the bar
The total volume that went into creation of the order block is displayed on the chart
The total volume of the order block is recorded as a percentage relative to the total volume for all order blocks on the chart
The image above shows the detection method in action.
Breaker Blocks
A breaker block is a specific type of order block that gains significance when price breaks through it and then often retests the level as a new area of support or resistance. Essentially, it’s a zone where, after the initial break, the previous level (which once acted as strong support or resistance) flips roles. For example, in an uptrend, if the price falls below a key support level, that level can become a breaker block and act as resistance if the price tries to move back up. Conversely, in a downtrend, a broken resistance level can serve as new support. Traders monitor breaker blocks because they often mark a shift in market sentiment and can provide potential entry or exit points once the market re-engages with these levels.
The image above shows a breaker block above price acting as resistance.
The image above shows a breaker block below price acting as support.
Rejection Blocks
A rejection block is a price area where the market shows a strong unwillingness to move beyond a certain level. This typically happens when price approaches a specific level but then is quickly rejected, leading to a bounce in the opposite direction. In other words, a rejection block forms when traders' orders create a barrier, causing the price to reverse rather than break through. Traders watch these areas closely, as they often signal a strong concentration of supply or demand that could provide potential entry or exit points for trades.
The image above shows both a verified upside rejection block acting as resistance, and an untested downside rejection block.
Rejection blocks are expected to function as strong support/resistance points when retested in the future.
Premium Discount Zones
Premium Discount Zones : These zones reflect areas where price is trading above (premium) or below (discount) a fair value range. They help traders gauge whether the current market price is relatively high or low compared to historical averages.
Premium Discount Zones account for recent swing highs and lows to calculate a fair value along with discount and premium prices over an intermediate time window.
The image above shows the premium and discount price zones in action.
Equal Levels
The indicator also tracks and highlights equal levels, which occur when the market repeatedly tests the same price levels. Equal levels can reinforce the significance of a support or resistance area and are represented by their own set of color markers.
The image above shows Radi IQ distinguishing equal highs and equal lows.
Equal Highs
When you see two or more highs that are approximately the same, it suggests that the market is repeatedly rejecting attempts to push higher. This signals a strong resistance level where sellers (or stop-hunters) are active.
Equal Lows
Similarly, consecutive lows at the same level indicate strong support, where buyers step in consistently, preventing further decline.
Strong Highs and Lows
Strong High
A strong high is a price level where the market repeatedly fails to push higher. Typically, it’s characterized by:
Rejection: Price approaches the high but then reverses sharply, often leaving long upper wicks on the candlestick chart.
Consolidation: Multiple bars might show highs that are very close in value (often termed "equal highs"), indicating a well-established resistance zone.
Market Sentiment: This pattern suggests that sellers are actively defending that level, preventing further upward movement.
Strong Lows
Conversely, a strong low is a price level where the market repeatedly fails to break lower. It is identified by:
Bounce Back: Price touches the low and then rebounds sharply, often leaving long lower wicks.
Consistency: Multiple lows occur around the same level (sometimes referred to as "equal lows"), marking a solid support area.
Market Sentiment: This indicates that buyers are stepping in at that level, absorbing selling pressure and supporting the price.
The image above shows Radi IQ detecting both a strong high and strong low, while the detected strong low acts as support when retested.
Liquidity Grabs
Liquidity grabs occur when the market temporarily moves to absorb liquidity, often triggering stop-loss orders and leading to rapid price movements. Radi IQ flags these events by identifying conditions where price moves against recent pivots, helping traders spot potential liquidity-related reversals or breakouts.
The image above shows Radi IQ identifying both an upside liquidity grab and a downside liquidity grab.
Upside Liquidity Grab (Bearish)
An upside liquidity grab happens when the price moves above a well-known resistance area or recent high. This move is often short-lived.
Many traders place stop-loss orders or pending buy orders just above resistance levels. Institutional players may intentionally push price upward to trigger these orders, thereby “grabbing” the liquidity available at that level.
Downside Liquidity Grab (Bullish)
A downside liquidity grab is the mirror image: the price briefly dips below a key support level or recent low.
Traders often place stop-loss orders or pending sell orders just below support levels. An intentional drop below this support can trigger these stops, allowing institutional players to capture liquidity.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis and Swings
By using data from different timeframes, Radi IQ offers a broader perspective on market trends. It highlights significant swing highs and swing lows, providing visual cues that indicate the market’s directional bias. This feature assists traders in identifying both short-term opportunities and long-term trends.
The image above shows Radi IQ detecting higher swings and lower swings.
IQ Meters / Fibometer
IQ Meters (Fibometers) are a proprietary TradingIQ tool that allows traders to easily identify the highs and lows of the current trend and where current price is relative to these points.
The image above depicts the IQ Meters—an exclusive TradingIQ tool designed to help traders evaluate trend strength and retracement opportunities.
When the lower timeframe Zig Zag IQ and the higher timeframe Zig Zag IQ are out of sync (i.e., one is uptrending while the other is downtrending, with no active positions), the meters display a neutral color as shown in the image.
The key to using these meters is to identify trend unison and pinpoint key trend retracement entry opportunities. Fibonacci retracement levels for the current trend are interlaced along each meter, and the current price is converted to a retracement ratio of the trend.
These meters can mathematically determine where price stands relative to the larger and smaller trends, aiding in identifying entry opportunities.
The top of each meter indicates the highest price achieved during the current price move.
The bottom of each meter indicates the lowest price achieved during the current price move.
When both the larger and smaller trends are in sync and uptrending, or when a long position is active, the IQ meters turn green, indicating uptrend strength.
When both meters are green, it indicates uptrend strength as both the higher timeframe trend and lower timeframe trend are in unison. Look for price to retrace to key fibonacci retracement levels during this time period.
When both trends are in sync and downtrending, or when a short position is active, the IQ meters turn red, indicating downtrend strength.
When both meters are red, it indicates downtrend strength as both the higher timeframe trend and lower timeframe trend are in unison. Look for price to retrace to key fibonacci retracement levels during this time period.
Summary
Radi IQ serves as a robust, data-driven tool for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market structure. By integrating internal and external analysis, fair value gap detection, order block identification, premium discount zoning, equal level tracking, liquidity grabs and much more into one indicator, it offers a multi-layered view of the market. This helps traders not only recognize potential turning points and areas of market stress but also manage risk more effectively and plan their trades with greater precision. The indicator’s clear visual representation and dynamic updates make it a practical addition to any trader’s toolkit.

SIFVG [ULTRA+]Introduction
Sweep Inverse Fair Value Gap° is a fully customizable charting tool built to track inversion fair value gap logic that occur after displacement events—specifically when Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are closed through, and effectively flipping their original state. The tool is inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, offering a clean visual interface to support traders studying price behaviour after liquidity sweeps, FVG closures, and highlighting mechanical swings targets.
This indicator does not draw zones or suggest direction. It operates entirely on confirmed price events and produces logic-bound visuals designed for traders who already understand IFVG-based reasoning and seek visual consistency across sessions, Timeframe on any instrument.
Key Terms and Definitions
• Swing High / Swing Low: A swing high is a local price peak with lower highs on either side. A swing low is a local trough with higher lows on either side. These are used to detect where liquidity may rest and are required for confirming the initial raid condition in the IFVG model.
• Liquidity Raid: This occurs when price trades through a prior swing high or low, effectively “sweeping” a level where orders may be clustered around. The raid is a required precursor to inversion logic in this model. The tool will not evaluate a potential Fair Value Gap or Inversion Fair Value Gap unless a swing high or low has been taken first.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG): A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance that occurs when a strong move leaves a gap between candles—specifically, when the high of one candle and the low of a later candle do not overlap. FVGs often emerge during displacement and are commonly studied as inefficiencies within a price leg.
• Inversion Fair Value Gap: An inversion happens when price fully closes through an existing Fair Value Gap that raided liquidity, suggesting the original imbalance rebalanced, and looks to reverse its original role. For example, when a bearish FVG is closed above after raiding a swing low, it may present a shift in orderflow (bullish inversion). The tool recognizes SIFVGs as “inverted” after a candle body candle closes through the gap post raid.
• Displacement: A strong directional price move, typically with momentum, that leaves a Fair Value Gap behind. Displacement is important in inversion logic, as it creates the context and confidence in comparing and contrasting FVGs and Inversions for obvious flips in market behaviour.
• SIFVG Line: Once inversion occurs, the indicator draws a single horizontal array on the candle's close. It marks the start of model activation. This is not a prediction level or a support/resistance area, as it merely serves as a reference for when model logic is sequentially active.
• Opposing Swing: The swing high or low opposite the one that was swept during the initial raid. This becomes the model’s first target for mechanical delivery and is automatically drawn once the IFVG line is plotted. When price reaches this swing, the model has reached its mechanical objective and could offer opportunities for further continuation to additional liquidity pools if orderflow continues to be present.
• Invalidation: The Sweep Inversion Fair Value Gap is considered invalid in one of two scenarios, which the user can toggle individually: a body print back above/below the inversion in bearish/bullish conditions, or trading above/below the most recent swing high/low after the liquidity raid. The SIFVG line will continue extending until the setup is invalidated by the chosen toggle, or when the Opposing Swing is reached.
• Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint (50%) of the FVG or SIFVG. This line can be optionally displayed for users who use the midpoint of imbalances for reference of imbalance respect. It is not required by the model’s internal logic but may assist with discretionary interpretation.
• Description
At its core, SIFVG follows a structured three-step logic sequence: a FVG is created, liquidity is taken, and the Fair Value Gap (FVG) inside of the leg of the raid is closed through, signally a potential orderflow shift. Once inversion is confirmed, an SIFVG line is plotted at the close of the candle that caused the inversion, making it the structural anchor for the model.
The tool does not account for partial fills or candle wicks for FVGs or SIFVGs. Only full-body closures through a qualifying FVG are recognized. When this occurs, a bullish or bearish inversion is plotted and the model becomes active. From there, the opposing swing (the unswept high or low from the displacement leg) is automatically drawn as the target for the model.
Key Features
The Bias allows traders to define whether to track bullish inversions (closing above bearish FVGs), bearish inversions (closing below bullish FVGs), or neutral to see both. This allows isolated directional focus as well as the ability to display all models.
The Session Filter enables traders to define up to four specific Time blocks when the model is permitted to trigger. The Macros Only toggle filters setups further by limiting activation to the first and last 10 minutes of each hour, a filter inspired for intraday traders and scalpers.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator Effectively
SIFVG is not meant to identify trade signals, entries, or exits. It is best used as a visual tracker and confluence for structure-based delivery. The tool excels as a companion for:
Journaling and reviewing SIFVG-based setups across Timeframes and sessions
Studying structural completion or invalidation behaviour
Tracking delayed deliveries and retracement-based logic
Traders using the tool should be familiar with FVG formations, inversion criterias, and the importance of orderflow once an opposing swing is reached.
Usage Guidance
Add the SIFVG to a TradingView chart. This is a fractal script and can be applied across any Timeframe or asset pairing.
Use the SIFVG line to track inversion structure, monitor when inversions are created and negated, and reference the opposing swing to determine whether structural delivery has completed.
Use the SIFVG in combination with your own discretion and narrative to assess when the model has flipped, held, or broken.

Elite Zone Master Pro - Advanced Multi-Session Trading System🚀 Elite Zone Master Pro - Advanced Multi-Session Trading System
🎯 ORIGINALITY & UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION
Elite Zone Master Pro is NOT a simple mashup of existing indicators. It's a proprietary trading system that combines three distinct methodologies into a unified, synergistic approach:
Multi-Session Zone Analysis - Original algorithm for tracking global market sessions
Dynamic Opening Range Breakout (ORB) - Enhanced ORB with bias-aware signal filtering
Advanced Fair Value Gap Detection - Proprietary FVG identification with smart mitigation tracking
🔧 Why This Combination Works
The power lies in how these components work together, not separately:
Session zones provide market context and volatility windows
ORB system identifies key breakout levels during optimal timeframes
FVG detection pinpoints precise entry locations within the ORB framework
Integrated bias system filters signals based on range direction momentum
🧠 DETAILED METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
🌍 1. Multi-Session Zone Framework
What it does: Tracks and visualizes three major global trading sessions simultaneously.
How it works:
Dynamic zone tracking algorithm that calculates session highs/lows in real-time
Adaptive box rendering that expands/contracts based on actual price movement
Session overlap detection for identifying high-volatility periods
Time-weighted zone positioning using custom timezone calculations
Original concepts:
Simultaneous multi-session visualization (not found in standard session indicators)
Dynamic zone expansion based on volatility, not fixed time periods
Cross-session momentum analysis for bias determination
🎯 2. Enhanced Opening Range Breakout System
What it does: Identifies breakout opportunities from predefined session ranges with intelligent bias filtering.
How it works:
Multi-session ORB calculation: Supports US (16:30-16:45), EU (10:00-10:15), Asian (03:00-03:15), and custom sessions
Dynamic range establishment: Range is built in real-time during active session periods
Bias-aware signal filtering: Two-tier breakout system based on range midpoint momentum
Range direction analysis: Compares current range midpoint to previous session's midpoint
Original methodology:
Range Bias Calculation:
- If Current_Midpoint > Previous_Midpoint = Bullish Bias (+1)
- If Current_Midpoint < Previous_Midpoint = Bearish Bias (-1)
- If Current_Midpoint = Previous_Midpoint = Neutral Bias (0)
Signal Logic:
- Bullish Bias: Standard breakout above range high
- Bearish Bias: Enhanced breakout (range_high + 0.5 * range_width) for bullish signals
- Neutral Bias: Standard breakouts both directions
⚡ 3. Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
What it does: Identifies and tracks fair value gaps with automatic mitigation detection.
How it works:
Three-bar gap analysis: Compares current bar relationships to identify true gaps
Dynamic threshold calculation: Auto-adjusting sensitivity based on market volatility
Smart mitigation tracking: Automatically removes filled gaps from display
Directional bias integration: Color-codes gaps based on their directional implication
Proprietary algorithms:
Bullish FVG Criteria:
- Current_Low > High (gap condition)
- Close > High (confirmation)
- (Current_Low - High ) / High > Threshold (significance filter)
Bearish FVG Criteria:
- Current_High < Low (gap condition)
- Close < Low (confirmation)
- (Low - Current_High) / Current_High > Threshold (significance filter)
Mitigation Logic:
- Bullish FVG: Mitigated when Close < FVG_Low
- Bearish FVG: Mitigated when Close > FVG_High
📈 4. Session-Based Moving Average System
What it does: Calculates moving averages that reset and adapt to session boundaries.
How it works:
Session-aware length calculation: Effective length = min(bars_since_session_start, user_length)
Multiple MA types: EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA with session-specific calculations
Dynamic smoothing: Adapts to session length for consistent signals across different session durations
🔄 INTEGRATED SYSTEM SYNERGY
🎯 How Components Work Together
Context Layer: Session zones provide market timing context
Setup Layer: ORB system identifies breakout opportunities within optimal timeframes
Entry Layer: FVG detection pinpoints precise entry levels
Filter Layer: Bias system ensures alignment with momentum direction
Confirmation Layer: Session MA provides trend confirmation
🧭 Signal Generation Process
Step 1: Session Analysis
- Identify active trading session
- Calculate session volatility metrics
- Establish range boundaries
Step 2: Range Bias Calculation
- Compare current vs previous range midpoints
- Assign directional bias (-1, 0, +1)
- Adjust breakout thresholds accordingly
Step 3: Breakout Detection
- Monitor price interaction with range boundaries
- Apply bias-specific breakout criteria
- Generate preliminary signals
Step 4: FVG Confirmation
- Scan for fair value gaps within range
- Validate gap significance using dynamic thresholds
- Provide entry refinement opportunities
Step 5: Signal Validation
- Cross-reference with session MA direction
- Ensure alignment with overall bias
- Output final trading signals
📊 PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION
🎯 Trading Strategy Framework
Setup Phase:
Configure session times for your timezone
Enable preferred sessions (US/EU/Asian)
Adjust FVG sensitivity based on instrument volatility
Execution Phase:
Wait for range establishment during active session
Monitor for bias-aligned breakouts
Look for FVG retest opportunities
Enter trades with ORB-based stop losses
Risk Management:
Stop loss placement: Outside ORB range boundaries
Position sizing: Based on range width volatility
Trade direction: Must align with calculated range bias
🎨 UNIQUE VISUAL IMPLEMENTATION
📊 Advanced Visualization Features
Multi-layered zone rendering with transparency controls
Dynamic range boxes that adapt to price movement
Smart label positioning to avoid chart clutter
Color-coded bias indication through range fills
Progressive FVG display with automatic cleanup

Optimal timeframes: 1m to 4H for intraday trading
Risk-reward ratios: Typically 1:2 to 1:4 based on range width
Win rate: Higher probability when all components align
This indicator represents months of development combining institutional trading concepts with retail accessibility. It's not just another indicator - it's a complete trading methodology in one comprehensive tool.
Trident Pattern [SpeculationLab]This indicator is based on the increasingly popular Trident strategy, and is best suited for the 30-minute timeframe. It performs particularly well on naturally bullish instruments such as gold, Bitcoin, and Nasdaq.All components of this indicator are original work by Speculation Lab.
Rather than stacking random features, this script is designed as a modular structure where each part works in synergy to build the Trident logic.
🔧 Modules Included:
Session Highlight — Visual display of the London Kill Zone
5 Customizable EMAs — Fully adjustable length, color, and toggling
Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection
Four types of Doji candlestick recognition
🧫 Logic Breakdown:
1. Time Session Filter
By default, the indicator highlights the London Kill Zone, defined as 03:00–06:30 New York time.Users can freely adjust the time zone, time range, and background color, with preconfigured zones including New York, London, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Sydney.
⚠️ Note: To maintain flexibility, the London Kill Zone is not enforced as a mandatory entry condition.
Users may apply it as an optional filter based on their own trading style.
2. 5 EMA Trend Filter
The script uses a five-EMA structure to confirm market trend.The default EMA lengths are 5, 9, 13, 21, and 200.A valid entry requires:
EMAs 5, 9, 13, 21 stacked in descending order
AND the 1-hour close is above EMA(200)
All EMAs are fully customizable and can be toggled on/off.
3. Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Bullish FVGs are detected using a 3-bar logic, from high to low .To filter noise, the gap must be greater than 0.7 × ATR(14) by default.Both the ATR period and multiplier are adjustable.
The FVG Extend setting has two roles:
It controls how many bars the FVG box extends to the right (default: 20)
It defines the active window for confirming entries within the FVG zone
Users can fully customize the box color, text, and center line.
4. Doji Detection
The script detects four types of Doji candlesticks:
Standard Doji
Long-legged Doji
Dragonfly Doji
Gravestone Doji
The Body Ratio setting controls how small the candle body must be relative to the full range (default ≤ 0.1).Long Wick Ratio and Short Wick Ratio further help fine-tune wick length criteria.
✅ Entry Signal Logic:
A Trident entry is confirmed when all the following conditions are met:
Trend Filter Passes
EMAs are stacked: 5 > 9 > 13 > 21
1H close is above EMA(200)
A Doji candle appears inside an active FVG zone
The next candle closes below the Doji’s high
If all conditions are satisfied, a Trident signal is triggered at the close of the confirming candle.

本指标基于近年来日益流行的 Trident（三叉戟）策略，推荐使用在 30分钟时间框架，尤其适用于黄金、比特币、纳斯达克等具有自然上涨倾向的交易品种。本指标由 Speculation Lab 原创开发，结构严谨，逻辑清晰。
本指标采用模块化设计，各部分功能相辅相成，共同构建三叉戟策略逻辑，而非杂乱堆砌。
🔧 指标包含以下功能模块：
交易时段高亮 — 默认显示 伦敦杀戮区
五条可调节 EMA 均线 — 长度与颜色可自定义，模块可单独开关
看涨 Fair Value Gap（公平价值缺口）检测
四种 Doji（十字星）K线形态识别
🧫 逻辑说明：
1. 交易时段过滤
默认高亮显示的伦敦杀戮区为 纽约时间03:00–06:30。用户可自由调整 参考时区、具体时段和 背景颜色，支持预设时区包括纽约、伦敦、东京、上海和悉尼。
⚠️ 说明：为保持策略灵活性，伦敦杀戮区并非强制入场条件。
是否采用此过滤，可由用户自行决定。
2. 趋势过滤（五条EMA）
该指标采用五条 EMA 来确认市场趋势。默认长度为 5、9、13、21、200。入场信号要求满足以下条件：
EMA 5、9、13、21 从上到下依次排列（多头排列）
且 1小时图上的收盘价高于 EMA200
所有均线均可单独启用/关闭，长度与颜色均可自定义。
3. 看涨 FVG 区域识别
FVG 使用 3 根K线结构进行检测，从 high 到 low 。默认要求缺口 大于等于 0.7 × ATR(14)，以过滤微小无效缺口。ATR周期与乘数均可自定义设置。
“FVG Extend”参数有两个作用：
控制图表上 FVG 区域箱体的右延伸长度（默认20根K线）
用作 FVG 活跃期的判断标准，仅在此区间内出现的 Doji 才会被视为有效信号触发条件
用户可自由设置 FVG 的背景颜色、文字样式与中线颜色。
4. Doji（十字星）识别
支持以下四种常见 Doji 形态识别：
标准十字星
长腿十字星
蜻蜓线（下影线长）
墓碑线（上影线长）
“Body Ratio” 控制实体占K线全长的比例，默认不超过0.2。“Long Wick Ratio” 与 “Short Wick Ratio” 可进一步调节影线长度识别标准。
✅ 入场信号逻辑：
符合以下所有条件时，触发三叉戟入场信号：
趋势过滤通过
EMA 依次排列为 5 > 9 > 13 > 21
且 1小时收盘价高于 EMA200
在 FVG 区域内出现有效 Doji 十字星
下一根K线收盘价 低于 Doji 的最高价
若以上条件均满足，则在确认K线收盘时触发三叉戟入场信号。

cd_full_poi_CxOverview
This indicator tracks the price in 16 different time frames (optional) in order to answer the question of where the current price has reacted or will react.
It appears on the chart and in the report table when the price approaches or touches the fvg or mitigations (order block / supply-demand), the rules of which will be explained below.
In summary, it follows the fvg and mitigations in the higher timeframe than the lower timeframe.
Many traders see fvg or mitigates as an point of interest and see the high, low swept in those zones as a trading opportunity. Key levels, Session high/lows and Equal high and lows also point of interest.
If we summarise the description of the point of interest ;
1- Fair value gaps (FVG) (16 time frames)
2- Mitigation zones (16 time frames)
3- Previous week, day, H4, H1 high and low levels
4- Sessions zones (Asia, London and New York)
5- Equal high and low levels are in indicator display.
Details:
1- Fair Value Gaps : It is simply described as a price gap and consists of a series of 3 candles. The reaction of the price to the gap between the 1st and 3rd candle wicks is observed.
The indicator offers 3 options for marking. These are :
1-1- ‘Colours are unimportant’: candle colours are not considered for marking. Fvg formation is sufficient.(Classical)
1-2- ‘First candle opposite colour’ : when a price gap occurs, the first candle of a series of 3 candles must be opposite.
For bullish fvg : bearish - bullish - free
For Bearish fvg : bullish - bearish - free
1-3- ‘All same colour’ : all candles in a series of 3 candles must be the same direction.
For bullish fvg: bullish - bullish - bullish
For bearish fvg : bearish - bearish – bearish
Examples:
2- Mitigation zones: Opposite candles with a fvg in front of them or candles higher/lower than the previous and next candle and with the same colour as the fvg series are marked.
Examples :
3- Previous week, day, H4, H1 high and low levels
4- Sessions regions (Asia, London and New York)
5- Equal high and low levels:
Annotation: Many traders want to see a liquidity grab on the poi, then try to enter the trade with the appropriate method.
Among the indicators, there is also the indication of grabs/swepts that occur at swing points. It is also indicated when the area previously marked as equal high/low is violated (grab).
At the end, sample setups will be shown to give an idea about the use of the indicator.

- 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, h1, h4, h4, h6, h8, h12, daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly, 16 time zones in total can be displayed.
- The ‘Collapse when the price touches mitigate’ tab controls whether to collapse the box as the price moves into the inner region of the mitigate. If not selected, the size of the mitigate does not change.
- ‘Approach limit =(ATR / n)’ tab controls how close the price is to the fvg or mitigate. Instant ATR(10) value is calculated by dividing by the entered ‘n’ value.
- All boxes and lines are automatically removed from the screen when the beyond is closed.
- Colour selections, table, text features are controlled from the menu.
- Sessions hours are set as standard hours, the user can select special time zones. Timezone is set to GMT-4.
- On the candle when the price touches fvg or mitigate, the timeframe information of the POI is shown in the report table together with the graphical representation.
The benefits and differences :
1- We can evaluate the factors we use for setup together.
2- We are aware of what awaits us in the high time frame in the following candles.
3- It offers the user the opportunity to be selective with different candle selection options in fvg selection.
4- Mitige areas are actually unmitige areas because they have a price gap in front of them. The market likes to retest these areas.
5- Equal high/low zones are the levels that the price creates to accumulate liquidity or fails to go beyond (especially during high volume hours). Failure or crossing of the level may give a reversal or continuation prediction.

Fair Value Gaps (Custom)Fair Value Gaps (FVG) - Custom
A comprehensive Fair Value Gap indicator designed for futures traders, offering multi-timeframe analysis with full customization of colors, opacity, and visual elements per timeframe.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are three-candle patterns where a gap exists between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (bullish) or between the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle (bearish). These imbalances often act as support/resistance zones where price tends to return.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support
5 independent timeframe slots
View higher timeframe FVGs on lower timeframe charts
Each timeframe has its own color, opacity, label, and midline settings
Flexible Fill Methods
Any Touch — FVG filled when price touches the zone
Midpoint Reached — FVG filled when price reaches 50% of the zone
Wick Sweep — FVG filled when wick passes through entire zone
Body Beyond — FVG filled when candle body closes beyond the zone
Visual Customization
Per-timeframe color AND opacity control via color picker
Optional midline display per timeframe
Customizable labels with fill percentage display
Optional borders with style/width settings
Boxes can extend to chart edge or fixed bar length
Dashboard & Alerts
Real-time FVG count dashboard (Bull/Bear above/below price)
Alert conditions: Price enters FVG, Midline cross, New FVG formed, FVG filled
Recommended Settings for ES/NQ Futures
Min Gap Size: 8 ticks (2 points)
Fill Method: Body Beyond (most conservative)
Default Opacity: 10% (adjust per timeframe as needed)
Usage Tips
Use higher timeframe FVGs as key support/resistance zones
Watch for confluence when multiple timeframe FVGs overlap
Midline often acts as the first target/reaction point
Combine with other confluence factors (order blocks, volume, etc.)

2. Adjust timezone to match your local market (default: UTC-5 for EST)
3. Customize session times if needed (defaults cover standard hours)
4. Enable session range boxes to see consolidation zones
5. Use session high/low lines to identify key levels for the current session
6. Enable open/close markers to track session transitions
Use Case: Identify which session you're trading in, track session highs/lows for liquidity, and anticipate session transition volatility.
Kill Zones Trading
Kill zones are ICT's high-probability trading windows:
1. Enable individual kill zones or use "Show All Kill Zones"
2. **Asian Kill Zone** (2000-0000 GMT): Early positioning and smart money accumulation
3. **London Kill Zone** (0300-0500 GMT): European market opening volatility
4. **NY AM Kill Zone** (0930-1100 EST): Post-NYSE open expansion
5. **NY Lunch Kill Zone** (1200-1300 EST): Midday consolidation or manipulation
6. **NY PM Kill Zone** (1330-1600 EST): Afternoon positioning and closes
7. Customize colors and times to match your trading style
8. Set max days display to control historical visibility (default: 30 days)
Use Case: Focus entries during high-probability windows. Watch for liquidity sweeps at kill zone openings and institutional positioning.
Previous Period High/Low Levels
Previous period levels act as magnetic price targets and support/resistance:
1. Enable Daily (PDH/PDL), Weekly (PWH/PWL), or Monthly (PMH/PML) levels individually
2. Set lookback period (how many previous periods to display)
3. Choose line style: Solid (current emphasis), Dashed (standard), or Dotted (subtle)
4. Customize colors per timeframe for visual hierarchy
5. Adjust line width (1-5) for visibility preference
6. Enable gradient effect to fade older periods
7. Position labels left or right based on chart layout
8. Customize label text for your preferred notation
Use Case: Identify key levels where price is likely to react. Daily levels work on intraday timeframes, Weekly on daily charts, Monthly for swing trading.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Candles
HTF candles reveal the larger market context while trading lower timeframes:
1. Enable up to 5 HTF slots simultaneously (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, Daily)
2. Choose display mode: "Below Chart" (stacked rows) or "Right Side" (compact column)
3. Customize timeframe, colors (bull/bear), and titles for each slot
4. **OHLC Trace Lines**: Visual lines connecting HTF candle levels to chart bars
5. **HTF Timer**: Countdown showing time remaining until HTF candle close
6. **Interval Labels**: Display day of week (Daily+) or time (intraday) on each candle
7. For Daily candles: Choose open time (Midnight, 8:30, 9:30) to match your market structure preference
Use Case: Trade lower timeframes while respecting higher timeframe structure. Watch for HTF candle closes to confirm directional bias.
FVG & VI Detection
Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances highlight inefficiencies that price often revisits:
1. **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detected when HTF candle wicks don't overlap between 3 consecutive candles
- Bullish FVG: Gap between candle 1 high and candle 3 low (green box by default)
- Bearish FVG: Gap between candle 1 low and candle 3 high (red box by default)
2. **Volume Imbalances (VIs)**: Similar detection but focuses on body gaps
- Bullish VI: Gap between candle 1 close and candle 3 open
- Bearish VI: Gap between candle 1 open and candle 3 close
3. Enable FVG/VI detection per HTF slot individually
4. Customize colors and transparency for each imbalance type
5. Boxes appear on chart at formation and remain visible as retracement targets
**Use Case**: Identify high-probability retracement zones. Price often returns to fill FVGs and VIs before continuing the trend. Use as entry zones or profit targets.
🎨 Customization
OFA is built for flexibility. Every feature includes extensive customization options:
Visual Customization
- **Colors**: Independent color control for every element (sessions, kill zones, lines, labels, FVGs, VIs)
- **Transparency**: Adjust box and label transparency (0-100%) for clean charts
- **Line Styles**: Choose Solid, Dashed, or Dotted for previous period lines
- **Sizes**: Control text size, line width, and box borders
- **Positions**: Place watermark in 9 positions, labels left/right
Layout Control

Timing Adjustments
- **Timezone**: Universal GMT offset selector (-12 to +14) for global markets
- **Session Times**: Customize each session's start/end times
- **Kill Zone Times**: Adjust kill zone windows to match your market's characteristics
- **Daily Open**: Choose Midnight, 8:30, or 9:30 for Daily HTF candle open time
💡 Best Practices
1. Start Simple: Enable one feature at a time to learn how each element affects your analysis
2. Match Your Timeframe: Use Daily levels on intraday charts, Weekly on daily charts, HTF candles one or two levels above your trading timeframe
3. Kill Zone Focus: Concentrate your trading activity during kill zones for higher probability setups
4. HTF Confirmation: Wait for HTF candle closes before committing to directional bias
5. FVG/VI Entries: Look for price to return to unfilled FVGs/VIs for entry opportunities with favorable risk/reward
6. Customize Colors: Use a consistent color scheme that matches your chart theme and reduces visual fatigue
7. Reduce Clutter: Disable features you're not actively using in your current trading plan
8. Session Context: Understand which session controls the market—trade with session direction or anticipate reversals at session transitions

## 🟩 FVG ZONES
### What Are FVG Zones?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are price gaps between candles where price moved so fast that a gap was left. These gaps often act as support/resistance.
### Zone Requirements
- Gap size ≥ 25% of ATR
- Impulse candle has strong body (≥ 70%)
- Impulse candle is 1.5x average range
- Volume above average on impulse
- Created during active session
### Zone States
1. **Fresh** (bright color) - Just created, untested
2. **Tested** (gray) - Price touched zone midpoint
3. **Broken** (removed) - Price closed through zone
### Trading FVG Zones
| Zone | Approach From | Expected |
|------|--------------|----------|
| 🟩 Bull | Above (falling) | Support - look for bounce |
| 🟥 Bear | Below (rising) | Resistance - look for rejection |
---
## 🟣 SINGLE PRINTS
Single prints mark candles with:
- Range > 1.3x average
- Body > 70% of range
- Volume > 1.8x average

*© Alexandro Disla - YM Ultimate SNIPER v5*
*Clean Build | Proven Components Only*
Forever ModelForever Model is a comprehensive trading framework that visualizes market structure through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences, and order block confirmations. The indicator identifies potential price rotations by tracking internal liquidity zones, correlation breaks between assets, and confirmation signals across multiple timeframes.
Designed for clarity and repeatability, the model presents a structured visual logic that supports manual analysis while maintaining flexibility across different assets and timeframes. All components are non-repainting, ensuring historical accuracy and reliable backtesting.
Description
The model operates through a three-part sequence that forms the visual foundation for identifying potential market rotations:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
FVGs are price imbalances detected on higher timeframes—areas where price moved rapidly between candles, leaving an inefficiency that may be revisited. The indicator identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs, displaying them with color-coded levels that extend until mitigated.
: Chart showing FVG detection with colored lines indicating bullish (green) and bearish (red) gaps
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
SMT detects divergence between the current chart asset and a correlated pair. When one asset makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high (or vice versa), it indicates a potential shift in delivery. The indicator draws visual lines connecting these divergence points and can filter SMTs to only display those occurring within FVG ranges.
: Chart showing SMT divergence lines between two correlated assets with labels indicating the pair name]
Order Block Confirmations (OB)
When price confirms a signal by crossing a pivot level, an Order Block is created. The confirmation line extends from the pivot point, labeled as "OB+" for bullish signals or "OB-" for bearish signals. The latest OB extends to the current bar, while previous OBs remain fixed at their confirmation points.
: Chart showing OB confirmation lines with OB+ and OB- labels at confirmation points]
Key Features
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Detection
FVGs are detected on a higher timeframe than the current chart, with automatic HTF selection based on the current timeframe or manual override options. This ensures that internal liquidity zones are identified from the appropriate structural context.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
Tracks the latest higher timeframe pivot highs and lows, marking external liquidity levels that may be revisited. ERL levels are displayed as horizontal lines with optional labels, providing context for potential continuation targets.
: Chart showing ERL lines at recent HTF pivot points
Signal Creation and Confirmation System
The model creates pending signals when FVG levels are mitigated. Signals confirm when price closes beyond a pivot level, creating the OB confirmation line. Stop levels are automatically calculated from the maximum (bearish) or minimum (bullish) price between signal creation and confirmation.
SMT Filtering Options
Display all SMTs or only those within FVG ranges
Require SMT for signal confirmation (optional filter)
Automatic or manual SMT pair selection
Support for both correlated and inverse correlated pairs
Directional Bias Filter
Filter FVG detection to show only bullish bias, bearish bias, or both. This allows analysts to align with higher timeframe structure or focus on unidirectional setups.
Confirmation Line Management
Toggle to extend only the latest confirmation line or all confirmation lines
Transparent label backgrounds with colored text (red for bearish, green for bullish)
Automatic cleanup of old confirmation lines (keeps last 50)
Labels positioned at line end (latest) or middle (older lines)
Position Sizing Calculator
Optional position sizing based on account balance, risk percentage or fixed amount, and instrument-specific contract sizes. Supports prop firm calculations and can display position size, entry, and stop levels in the dashboard.
Information Dashboard
A customizable floating table displays:
Current timeframe and HTF
Remaining time in current bar
Current bias direction
Latest confirmed signal details (type, size, entry, stop)
Pending signal status
The dashboard can be repositioned, resized, and styled to match your preferences.
Special Range Creation
When signals confirm, the model can automatically create special range levels from stop prices. These levels persist on the chart as important reference points, even after mitigation, serving as potential reversal zones for future signals.
Label and Visualization Controls
Toggle FVG labels on/off
Toggle confirmation lines on/off
Customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs
ERL color customization
SMT line width adjustment
Order Flow Integration (Optional)
The indicator includes optional Open Interest (OI) based special range detection, allowing integration with order flow analysis for enhanced context.
Technical Notes
All components are non-repainting—once formed, they remain on the chart
FVGs cannot be mitigated on their creation bar
Signal-based special ranges persist even after mitigation (important stop levels)
SMT detection supports both HTF and chart timeframe modes
Maximum 50 confirmation lines are maintained for performance
The model is designed to work across all asset classes and timeframes, providing a consistent framework for identifying potential market rotations through the interaction of internal liquidity, correlation breaks, and confirmation signals, this does not constitute as trading advice, past performance is no indication of future performance , this is entirely done for entertainment and educational purposes

SMC OB+HOBSmart Money OB/HOB Indicator — Quick Guide
Use this as a field manual: what you’re seeing, how it’s decided, and which settings to use for different timeframes and trade styles.
What the tool plots
Bullish Order Block (OB) — teal box
The last small down candle before a bullish displacement/BOS. Height = candle body (default) or wick range (if you choose “Wick”).
Pin (small white dot) at the origin candle’s time to make anchoring obvious.
Bearish Order Block (OB) — red box
The last small up candle before a bearish displacement/BOS.
Hidden Order Block (HOB) — same box but yellow-tinted fill
A valid OB with one or more same-bias FVGs “ahead” (i.e., OB sits “behind” inefficiency). These tend to be stronger.
Mitigation state (fill transparency)
Unmitigated (least transparent): price hasn’t meaningfully traded back into the box. Highest priority.
Partial (more transparent): some penetration; still valid.
Full (most transparent): fully consumed; lower priority (optional to hide).
Top-K border — thin white outline
Only the best-scoring OBs/HOBs per direction are drawn to reduce clutter.
Auto-Fibs (optional)
OTE zone (0.62–0.79) — subtle purple band across the current swing leg.
0.618 / 0.705 / 0.786 — thin white horizontal lines. Confluence here adds score.
Trade idea lines (per Top-K block)
Entry — white line (mid/edge per your setting).
Stop — red line (box edge ± your pad).
TP1/TP2 — lime lines, R-based from entry→stop distance.
Label shows LONG/SHORT, entry, SL, TP1, TP2, time-stop (bars).
Note: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are tracked internally to classify HOBs and for pruning, not drawn to avoid noise.
How a block is qualified (in plain English)
BOS + Displacement:
Close breaks the recent swing high/low by at least N ticks and the bar shows impulse (body ≥ X·ATR and ≥ Y% of its total range).
(Settings: “Close beyond ≥ ticks”, “Min impulse body (x ATR)”, “Body/TR min %”)
Seed candle:
Look back ≤ N bars for the last opposite small-body candle (body ≤ Z% of its range). That candle’s body/wick becomes the OB height.
(Settings: “Last opposite candle within N bars”, “OB body ≤ % of TR”, “OB height model”)
Hidden OB:
Count same-bias FVGs “ahead”. If ≥ your threshold → tag the OB as HOB.
(Setting: “Require ≥ N same-bias FVGs ahead”)
Mitigation tracking:
As price trades into the box, we compute penetration %, updating unmitigated / partial / full state each bar.
Ranking (Top-K):
Every OB/HOB gets a score: near price, newer, hidden, near fib, and unmitigated boost. We draw only the Top-K per direction.
Inputs you’ll actually tweak
Timeframe
Compute on: Current (uses your chart TF) or Specific (MTF scan).
Process last N bars: reduce for speed, increase to see more history.
Anchoring
Extend: Right, Limited, or Origin only.
Limited draws boxes to a fixed number of bars so charts stay clean.
Show origin pins: Keep on so you always know the source candle.
Structure / BOS (signal frequency vs. quality)
Require FVG on break bar: ON = stricter, OFF = more signals.
Min impulse body (x ATR): higher = stricter.
Body/TR min %: higher = stricter.
Close beyond ≥ ticks: 0–1 for LTF; 1–3 for HTF.
Order Blocks
OB height model: Body (cleaner) or Wick (wider protection).
Last opposite candle within N bars: 3–8 (higher finds more).
OB body ≤ % of TR: 0.35–0.70 (lower = stricter).
Min OB height (ticks): 1–2 (avoid micro slivers).
Expire on first touch: If ON, removes boxes after first reaction.
Hidden OB
Require ≥ N FVGs ahead: 0–1 for LTF (more HOBs), 1–2 for HTF.
Mitigation Filter (what you show)
Toggle Unmitigated / Partial / Full visibility.
For precision trading, keep Unmitigated on; show others while scanning.
Auto-Fibs
Enable fib confluence: On adds score near 0.618/0.705/0.786.
Draw lines / OTE: Visual only; confluence also boosts ranking.
Tolerance (x ATR): how close price must be to count as “near fib”.
Ranking & Draw
Top-K per direction: how many OBs/HOBs you’ll see each side.
Prefer near / newer / hidden / unmitigated: scoring toggles.
Fib boost: how much fib confluence bumps a level.
Trade Ideas
Entry style: 50% of OB (balanced) or OB edge (faster fills).
Stop pad (ticks/ATR): give a little room beyond the box edge.
TP1/TP2 (R): risk-multiple targets (e.g., 1R, 2R).
Time stop (minutes): exit if it doesn’t go in time.
Execution / Alerts (recommended)
Keep on-close workflow: do not enable calc_on_every_tick.
When creating alerts, choose Once per bar close.
How to use it (mechanical checklist)
Scan: Focus on Top-K boxes. HOBs (yellow-tinted) and unmitigated get first look.
Context (optional): If you like, also check HTF structure or obvious liquidity pools (equal highs/lows).
Confluence: Prefer boxes near 0.618/0.705/0.786 or inside the OTE band.
Trigger: Let the bar close. If entry line is touched next, you have a go-signal with a placed stop and R-targets.
Manage: If TP1 hits, move SL to BE. For HOBs, consider a runner (trail under minor swing/FVG) — they often travel further.
Time stop: If it hasn’t moved within N minutes/bars, cut it; don’t babysit.
Preset recipes (copy these settings)
1) Hyper-Scalp (1–3m) — frequent, fast
Structure / BOS:
FVG on break = OFF | Min impulse = 0.6–0.8 | Body/TR = 0.45–0.55 | Close beyond = 0–1
Order Blocks:
Opposite lookback = 5–6 | OB body ≤ 0.55–0.60 | Min height = 1
HOB: Need FVGs = 0–1
Mitigation view: Show Unmit/Partial, optionally Full while scanning
Ranking: Top-K = 4–6, prefer near/new/hidden/unmit = ON, Fib boost = 0.6–1.0
Trade Ideas: Entry = OB edge, Stop pad = 1–2 ticks, Time stop = 5–8 min
Execution: On bar close alerts
2) Intraday (5–15m) — balanced
Structure / BOS:
FVG on break = OFF | Min impulse = 0.8–1.0 | Body/TR = 0.55–0.60 | Close beyond = 1
Order Blocks:
Opposite lookback = 4–5 | OB body ≤ 0.50–0.55 | Min height = 1–2
HOB: Need FVGs = 1
Ranking: Top-K = 3–4, Fib boost = 1.0–1.5
Trade Ideas: Entry = 50%, Stop pad = 2–3 ticks, Time stop = 10–20 min
3) Swing (1H–4H) — selective, higher quality
Structure / BOS:
FVG on break = ON | Min impulse = ≥1.0 | Body/TR = ≥0.65 | Close beyond = 1–3
Order Blocks:
Opposite lookback = 3–4 | OB body ≤ 0.45–0.50 | Min height = 2–4
HOB: Need FVGs = 1–2
Ranking: Top-K = 2–3, Fib boost = 1.5–2.0
Trade Ideas: Entry = 50%, Stop pad = a few ticks + ATR pad, Time stop = few bars
4) HTF (Daily+) — very selective
Keep swing settings, increase Min impulse and Close beyond a bit, reduce Top-K to 1–2.
Priority rules (what to trade first)
HOB over OB
Unmitigated over partial/full
With fib confluence over without
Near price and recent over far/old
Favor levels that follow a sweep (equal highs/lows taken, then return to your box)
If two boxes tie, take the one with the cleaner origin candle and simpler path to TP (fewer nearby obstacles).
Troubleshooting & tips
“I’m not seeing many signals.”
Loosen Structure/BOS (lower ATR and Body/TR), increase Opposite lookback, allow Partial/Full in view, raise Top-K.
“Too many lines/boxes.”
Lower Top-K, use Limited extension (Anchoring), hide Partial/Full, and keep fib lines if you rely on confluence.
“Stuff looks offset.”
Keep origin pins on. Use xloc.bar_time (already in code) and avoid custom time compressions that desync objects.
Execution discipline:
Use on-close alerts. Respect time stops. Size by fixed risk per trade, not fixed leverage.
DT_KEY_LEVELSDT_Key_Levels: Powerful Market Structure Analysis Indicator
DT_Key_Levels is an advanced indicator for fundamental market structure analysis, optimized for higher timeframes (D1, W, M). The indicator combines three powerful technical analysis tools — fractals, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and psychological levels — in one comprehensive solution.
Three Components of the Indicator
1. Enhanced Fractal System
The indicator uses an improved version of Bill Williams' classic fractals, allowing for deeper market structure analysis:
Dual Identification System:
Standard 5-bar fractals (displayed with thick lines) for analyzing reliable support/resistance levels
Light 3-bar fractals (displayed with thin lines) for early identification of potential reversal points
Intelligent Tracking System:
Automatic detection and filtering of completed fractals
Marking fractals with corresponding timeframe designation (HTF-1D, HTF-1W, HTF-1M)
Tracking and marking the All-Time High (ATH)
2. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) System
The indicator identifies and visualizes price gaps in market structure — zones that often act as magnets for future price movements:
Precise Identification of Inefficient Zones:
Bullish FVG: when the current candle's low is above the -2 candle's high
Bearish FVG: when the current candle's high is below the -2 candle's low
Detailed Visualization:
Clear display of upper and lower boundaries of each FVG
Midline (0.5 FVG) for determining key reaction levels within the gap
Marking each FVG with "FF" (Fair value Fill) label for quick identification
Dynamic Management:
Automatic removal of FVGs when they are filled by price movement
Customizable line extension for improved tracking of target zones
3. Intelligent Psychological Levels
The indicator automatically determines key psychological levels with adaptation to the type of instrument being traded:
Specialized Calibration for Various Assets:
Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY): optimization for standard figures and round values
Precious metals (XAUUSD): adaptation to typical gold reaction zones with a $50 step
Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH): dynamic step adjustment depending on current price zone
Stock indices (NASDAQ, S&P500, DAX): accounting for the movement characteristics of each index
Smart Adaptation System:
Automatic determination of the optimal step for any instrument
Generation of up to 24 key levels, evenly distributed around the current price
Intelligent filtering to display only significant levels
Practical Application
Strategic Analysis
Identifying Key Structural Levels:
Use monthly and weekly fractals to determine strategic support/resistance zones
Look for coincidences of fractals with psychological levels to identify particularly strong zones of interest
Determine long-term barriers using type 5 fractals on higher timeframes
Analysis of Market Inefficiencies:
Track the formation of FVGs as potential targets for future movements
Use FVG midlines (0.5) as important internal reaction levels
Analyze the speed of FVG filling to understand trend strength
Tactical Trading Decisions
Entry Points and Risk Management:
Use bounces from fractals in the direction of the larger trend as a signal for entry
Place stop-losses behind fractal levels or key psychological levels
Monitor the formation of new fractals as a signal of potential reversal
Determining Target Levels:
Use unfilled FVGs as natural price targets
Apply nearby psychological levels for partial position closing
Project higher timeframe fractals to determine long-term goals
Indicator Advantages
Comprehensive Approach: combining three methodologies for a complete understanding of market structure
Intelligent Adaptation: automatic adjustment to the characteristics of different types of assets
Clean Visual Presentation: despite the abundance of information, the indicator maintains clarity of display
Effective Signal Filtering: automatic removal of completed levels to reduce visual noise
Higher Timeframe Optimization: specifically designed for daily, weekly and monthly charts
Usage Recommendations
Use the indicator only on D1, W, and M timeframes for the most reliable signals
Pay special attention to areas where different types of signals coincide (e.g., fractal + psychological level)
Use higher timeframe fractals as key zones for medium and long-term trading
Track FVGs as potential target zones and focus on their filling

Automatically detects and visualizes discrepancies (red for highs, blue for lows) between the symbols.
Offers customizable comparison settings and alerts for divergence detection.
Second -
Real-time SMT comparison between two tickers - red/green lines.
🔹 Market Structure Change (MSS) & Break of Structure (BOS) Detection:
Identifies market structure shifts and breakouts, crucial for spotting potential reversals.
Customizable sensitivity and length settings to adapt to various market conditions and trading strategies. Use 3 different timeframes on the same chart.
🔹 Buy Side & Sell Side Liquidity Zones:
Highlights liquidity zones on both buy and sell sides, offering a clear view of market pressure points.
Configurable settings for detection length, margin, and alert conditions for liquidity sweeps like the 15-minute Buy Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell Side Liquidity (SSL).
These lines from Swing Highs & Lows:
Automatically plots horizontal lines at the most recent swing highs and lows.
Lines are removed once the closing price breaches these levels, ensuring real-time updates and clean charting.
🔹 Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection:
Detects FVG formations on 5-minute and 1-minute charts, making it ideal for scalpers capturing liquidity gaps.
Includes directional arrows and customizable alerts based on higher and lower timeframe FVG analysis, helping traders time their entry and exit points.
🔹IFVG (Inverse fair value gap) - yellow
🔹IFVG + SMT - Light blue
🔹IFVG + SMT + HTF FVG - green/red (1 min only)
🔹IFVG + SMT + BSL/SSL Swept - green/red (1 min only)
for example:
🔹 Capture and plot significant price levels at specific times throughout the trading day:
TDO (True Day Open): The price at which a market opens at 12:00 AM US.
TMSO (True Micro Session Open): The open price of the Q2 of the micro session.
RVT (Revolving True Open): The price recorded at 12:00 PM US.
AO (Asia True Open Price): The price captured at 7:30 PM US, specifically representing the opening price of the Asian session.
LO (London True Open Price): 1:30 AM US
AM (New York Session - Afternoon Market True Open Price): 7:30 AM US
PM (Post Market Open Price): 1:30 PM US.
For example TMSO:
🔹 AI-Powered Entry Detection:
The script helps identify entry points based on specific candle patterns, while also considering the exponential moving averages (EMAs) for trend confirmation.
🔶FFMS Strategy: (First Five Minute Strategy)
Check 5-min time frame if the price is between the high and low of the previous day. then, when NYO if there is retest on the High/Low on the 5-min chart after crossover or crossunder the 5 minute first candle high/low lines.
🔶PSP & PSP + FVG
🔹The Precision Swing Point (PSP). It helps you visually identify price decorrelation (type of SMT) among key futures contracts (NQ/ES or NQ/ES/YM/ZB) and set alerts for these significant market movements.
🔹The PSP HTF 15 Min + FVG LTF 1 Min
In this strategy the script is looking for PSP in HTF (15-Min) and capture the FVG in LTF (1-Min) only if its between High and Low of the PSP.
If there is a retracement in parallel micro session time, for example: Q1 with Q3 or Q2 with Q4, Q3 with Q1, etc…
if the retracement was happened and the price close above/below the high/low of the FVG from the LTF that captured according to the direction for long/short, it plots an arrow.
Update the script that checks the purple arrows and shows all of them each time there is a new PSP in a 15-minute timeframe and then FVG in 1 Min timeframe with the reference to the TDO/TMSO/Open session
for example:
Step 1: PSP 15Min LOW/HIGH Lines look for FVG by the conditions above - purple arrow
Step 2:FVG founded - purple arrow
SMT Fill on 15 min timeframe + IFVG 1 min - Detected option:
When Sym1 closed above/below FVG and Sym2 didn't it is SMT FILL (15 Min timeframe)
White arrows when captured SMT FIll + IFVG:
option to turn on alert on this strategy too.
🔹Detect liquidity swept on 15-min timeframe by $$ - green/red
🔹Detect liquidity to sweep zones on by diamonds - green/red
🔹Alerts for all Events and full scenarios.
Real-time notifications ensure traders can act quickly on potential trade setups.

cd_sfp_CxGeneral:
This indicator is designed to assist users who trade the Swing Failure Pattern ( SFP ).
In technical literature (various definitions exist), an SFP is a situation where the price violates a previous swing level but fails to close beyond that level.
• (Liquidity Sweep)
• (Buyer or seller dominance)
• (Stop hunt)
• (Turtle Soup)
The general strategy is built upon seeking trade opportunities after an SFP is formed and conviction is established that the market direction has changed.
Components used to gather confirmation:
• Determining Bias: Periodic SAR
• Obtaining Breakout/Reversal Confirmation: Change in State Delivery (CISD)
• Defining the Buyer/Seller Block (Supply/Demand Zones): Mitg Blocks (Mitigation Blocks), FVG (Fair Value Gaps), and Standard Deviation Projection
• Key Levels: Previous HTF (Higher Time Frame) levels
• Setting Targets: Standard Deviation Projection
• Trade Management: Anchored VWAP and opposing blocks
• Time-Based Context: Session Killzone times
• Notifications: An alarm/alert system will be utilized to stay informed.
________________________________________
Details:
Swing and Swing Failure Pattern:
Swing Sweep Types (Liquidity Sweep):
1. Single
2. Consecutive (The liquidity of the entity that swept the liquidity is being swept)
Bias Determination
We need to filter out the numerous SFPs that occur across all time frames. Our first strong filter will be the Bias. We will only look for trades aligned with our bias.
We will use Periodic SAR (Stop and Reverse) to determine the bias. We compare the price with the SAR value from a Higher Time Frame than the one we are trading on.
• Price > SAR => Bullish Bias
• Price < SAR => Bearish Bias
Depending on the pair, H1 SAR may be chosen for scalp trades, and Daily/Weekly SAR for intraday and swing trades.
Key Levels
Strategies looking for trades after a liquidity grab generally state that the sweep / stop hunt movement should occur at a significant price level.
The most fundamental Key Level levels are (User can customize):
• Previous Week High & Low
• Previous Day High & Low
• Previous H4 High & Low
• Previous H1 High & Low
• Asia Killzone High & Low
• London Killzone High & Low
• New York Killzone High & Low
• Monday Range High & Low values
We will prefer SFP formations that occur when these levels are swept. When Key Levels are violated, an information label appears on the screen.
Blocks / Zones
To strengthen our hand, we will use three types of blocks/zones, either with Key Levels or separately. When an SFP structure is formed in these areas (along with bias and breakout confirmation), our expectation is for the price to continue in our desired direction. These regions are:
1. Mitigation Blocks (Mtg)
o (Details can be found in the cd_VWAP_mtg_Cx indicator)
o In short: A second candle, following a bullish candle, crosses its high but fails to close above it. We call this a sweep / SFP. When the price, which was expected to go to the low, instead makes a new high/close, an Mtg block is formed. (Buyers are dominant)
2. FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
o We use classic FVG structures.
3. Standard Deviation Projection Boxes
o When we get an SFP structure + breakout confirmation (CISD), we use the Standard Deviation Projection to determine our profit-taking and take-profit levels.
o Based on the idea that the price often respects the range between -2 and -2.5 of the projection values, we box this range and use it as our area of interest. (Our expectation is for the price to reverse after reaching this target).
o Let's mark it on the chart.
Confirmation
To summarize what has been explained so far: we look for the price to form an SFP structure in levels/zones we deem important, aligned with our bias, and for the breakout to be confirmed with a CISD.
No single component is strong on its own, but the success rate increases when they occur together.
We observe the following as additional confirmation along with the CISD: a new Mtg block forming in the direction of the breakout, high-volume movement (with FVG and a large body), and respect for VWAPs, the resistance/support line, and the defense block.
Additional Confirmations with Breakouts:
• Defence block, new mtg and VWAP
• Resistance / Support Line:
Indicator Signals
The indicator marks all formed sweeps, selected key levels, blocks, the projection, and CISD confirmations on the screen. The candle where the CISD confirmation occurs is indicated by an arrow.
• Arrows with double short lines signify a CISD that follows an SFP occurring at a Key Level.
• All other CISD candle indications are shown with single-line arrows.
Trade Management
When selecting profit targets in trades (preferably), the projection, opposing blocks, and structures that have formed are taken into account. Do not neglect to look at the structures that have formed against you when entering a trade.
Menu Settings:
• For Mtg blocks, the trading timeframe or a higher timeframe can be selected.
• FVGs formed in the current timeframe are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in "Fvg" option).
• Deviation boxes are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in box).
• The SAR HTF setting (H1) for scalp trades may vary depending on the pair. Users trying trades on higher timeframes should increase the HTF setting.
o Example: If you are looking for a trade with an SFP structure on H1, the SAR HTF setting should be H4 or higher.
• VWAP lines are refreshed starting from the candle that executed the sweep when the price forms an SFP. The only setting to adjust is the source selection setting (hlc3 is selected).
• Time frames and Killzone / Special Zone settings for Key Levels can be changed/should be checked.
Alarms / Alerts:
The conditions that will trigger an alert can be selected from the menu.
• To receive an alert aligned with the bias, the "Alignment with bias" checkbox must be selected.
• The alert should be set on the timeframe where you plan to enter the trade.
• The display options do not affect the alarm conditions. (Example: FVGs are monitored even when the menu selection is "off").
• If the necessary conditions are met, the alarm is triggered on the new candle that opens after the CISD confirmation.
• The alarm will not be triggered more than once at the same Key Level.
The user can preferably select alerts:
• Bias-aligned or Bias-independent
• Sweep (without waiting for CISD)
• Sweep + CISD (without looking for other conditions)
• Sweep + Key Level + CISD (the swept level is a Key Level)
• Sweep + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed in any of the blocks)
• Sweep + Mtg + CISD (SFP formed in the Mtg block)
• Sweep + Fvg + CISD (SFP formed inside the FVG)
• Sweep + Deviation Box + CISD (SFP formed inside the Dev. Box)
• Sweep + Key Level + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed simultaneously at a Key Level and any of the blocks)
Trade Example:
• Conditions: Bias-aligned + Sweep + Mtg/Fvg/Dev (at least one) + CISD
• Extra Confirmations: Respect for the Defense Block + Respect for VWAP
• Target (TP): Projection between -2 and -2.5
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding my indicator, which I believe will be successful in the long run by adhering to uncompromising risk management and a strict trading plan.
Happy Trading!
