SMT Time Windows# SMT Time Windows
SMT Time Windows is a Pine Script v6 indicator by **Originalsauce1** that automates ICT-style Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between two correlated symbols. It detects bullish and bearish SMT divergences using swing highs/lows (pivot logic) across both instruments. Bullish SMT occurs when one symbol makes a higher low while the other forms a lower low; bearish SMT is when one symbol prints a higher high while the other records a lower high. These divergences highlight imbalances in correlated markets and can signal potential momentum shifts. SMT Time Windows plots clear labels for each divergence event and offers comprehensive filtering by custom time sessions.
## Key Features
* **Time Window Filters:** Define up to three custom time windows (e.g. 2:00–4:00 AM, 6:00–8:30 AM, 9:00–10:30 AM) with individual enable/disable toggles. Active windows can be highlighted on the chart with optional background shading for visual cueing.
* **Timezone Support:** User-selectable time zone ensures that time windows align correctly across different session schedules (global session alignment).
* **Adjustable Detection:** Set the pivot **length** (sensitivity of swing detection) and the signal **timeframe**. This pivot-based approach confirms valid swing highs/lows before marking divergences.
* **Clean SMT Labels:** The indicator plots “Bullish SMT” or “Bearish SMT” labels at the relevant pivots, clearly marking each divergence event. Label color and style are customizable, providing a clean visual cue of SMT signals.
* **Chart Highlights:** Optionally shade the chart background during active time windows, making it easy to see when the session filter is in effect.
* **Session Status Table:** An on-chart table shows which time windows are currently active (e.g. shows “Open”/“Closed” status). This real-time session table provides live feedback similar to other TradingView session trackers.
* **Comparison Symbol & Alerts:** Optionally overlay the comparison symbol on your chart. Built-in alerts notify you when bullish or bearish SMT divergences occur, allowing timely review.
## How It Works
SMT Time Windows checks for divergences between two positively correlated markets (for example, equity futures like S\&P 500 (ES) vs Nasdaq 100 (NQ), or FX pairs like US Dollar Index vs EUR/USD). When one instrument’s swing high/low is not confirmed by the other, it flags this as an SMT event. For instance, a **Bearish SMT** is identified when one symbol makes a higher high but the other fails to keep pace (prints a lower high); a **Bullish SMT** is when one symbol’s low is higher while the other’s low is lower. These divergences are interpreted as signs of uneven buying/selling pressure and can precede shifts in momentum.
The indicator is designed for use with correlated markets (e.g. ES/NQ, DXY/EURUSD, etc.) to enhance your market structure analysis. It is not a “set and forget” signal but a tool to spot potential imbalances. Use SMT Time Windows alongside your discretionary analysis and higher-timeframe context for best results.

1st FVGOverview
This indicator is specifically designed for intraday price action traders who focus on the NASDAQ opening range. Its primary function is to automatically identify, plot, and alert on the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms during the critical 30-minute window of the New York morning session, from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET.
The script intelligently ignores any gaps that rely on pre-market data, ensuring that the detected FVG is a true imbalance created by the initial volume and volatility of the regular trading session. This tool helps traders to quickly pinpoint a key area of interest right after the market opens.
Key Features
First FVG Detection: Pinpoints only the initial FVG of the session and ignores all subsequent ones for the day.
Specific Time Window: Operates strictly between 9:30 and 10:00 AM New York time.
Strict Formation Rule: To ensure accuracy, the entire 3-bar FVG pattern must form at or after the 9:30 AM candle. This prevents false signals from pre-market price action.
Visual Price Zones: Automatically draws a clean, colored box around the FVG, making the zone easy to see. The box can be extended to track future price interactions.
Customizable Display: Control how many historical FVGs to show on your chart and how far the zone extends to the right.
Built-in Alerts: Get real-time notifications the moment the first FVG is confirmed, so you never miss a potential setup.
How It Works
The indicator scans the price action candle by candle. Once the 9:30 AM ET session begins, it looks for the first valid 3-bar FVG pattern (also known as a price imbalance).
A Bullish FVG is identified when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods ago.
A Bearish FVG is identified when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods ago.
Once the first FVG for the day is detected and plotted, the script will remain dormant until the next trading day begins, keeping your chart clean and focused.
Settings
Number of FVG History: Controls how many of the most recent daily FVGs are displayed on the chart.
Extend Box To End: A checkbox to extend the FVG zone all the way to the right edge of the chart. This is useful for tracking how price interacts with the zone later in the day.
Manual Box Length: If the "Extend Box" option is unchecked, this input sets a fixed length for the box (in number of bars).
How to Set Up Alerts
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click the 'Alert' icon (alarm clock) in the TradingView toolbar.
In the 'Condition' dropdown menu, select "1st FVG".
A second dropdown will appear, which should be set to "Alert Function Call".

Simple Fractals with Wick Filter & BOSThis advanced fractal indicator combines traditional Williams Fractal analysis with sophisticated wick filtering and Break of Structure (BOS) detection to identify high-probability reversal points and structural breaks in price action.
🔍 How It Works
Fractal Detection: Uses the classic Williams Fractal methodology to identify swing highs and lows. A fractal high occurs when a candle's high is greater than N periods before and after it. Similarly, a fractal low occurs when a candle's low is lower than N periods on both sides.
Wick Filtering: Only displays fractals where the rejection wick meets a minimum threshold, ensuring the fractal represents genuine price rejection rather than minor fluctuations.
Break of Structure (BOS): Monitors when strong candles close beyond previous fractal levels within a specified lookback period, indicating potential trend changes or continuation patterns.
⚙️ Parameter Guide
Periods (Default: 7) - Controls fractal sensitivity
Wick Threshold (Default: 0.4 / 40%) - Minimum wick size relative to total candle range
BOS Lookback Bars (Default: 90) - How far back to monitor fractal levels for potential breaks
Strong Candle Body % (Default: 0.5 / 50%) - Minimum body size required to trigger BOS, Higher values reduce false signals but may miss some valid breaks
📊 Visual Elements
Colored Dots: Small circles mark validated fractals
Top Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default red) above bars
Bottom Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default green) below bars
BOS Lines: Dotted horizontal lines connecting fractal origin to break point
Green Lines: Bullish BOS (price closes above fractal high)
Red Lines: Bearish BOS (price closes below fractal low)
Faded Fractals (Optional): Shows all fractals that didn't meet wick requirements for comparison
🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
High fractal formation with sufficient wick
Low fractal formation with sufficient wick
AP Session Liquidity with EQH/EQL and Previous DayThis indicator plots key intraday session highs and lows, along with essential market structure levels, to help traders identify areas of interest, potential liquidity zones, and high-probability trade setups. It includes the Asia Session High and Low (typically 00:00–08:00 UTC), London Session High and Low (08:00–12:00 UTC), New York AM Session High and Low (12:00–15:00 UTC), and New York Lunch High and Low (15:00–17:00 UTC). Additionally, it displays the Previous Day’s High and Low for context on recent price action, as well as automatically detected Equal Highs and Lows based on configurable proximity settings to highlight potential liquidity pools or engineered price levels. These session levels are widely used by institutional traders and are critical for analyzing market behavior during time-based volatility windows. Traders can use this indicator to anticipate breakouts, fakeouts, and reversals around session boundaries—such as liquidity grabs at Asia highs/lows before the London or New York sessions—or to identify key consolidation and expansion zones. Equal Highs and Lows serve as magnets for price, offering insight into potential stop hunts or inducement zones. This tool is ideal for day traders, scalpers, and smart money concept practitioners, and includes full customization for session timings, color schemes, line styles, and alert conditions. Whether you're trading price action, ICT concepts, or supply and demand, this indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday analysis.
Power of Three FractalsIntroducing Power of Three Fractals—an advanced, all-in-one TradingView toolkit designed to bring higher timeframe context directly onto your primary chart. This isn't just another candle overlay; it's a sophisticated analytical suite built for the serious price action trader. Developed with the core principles of "smart money" concepts, this indicator helps you see the market in a new dimension.
Key Features:
Floating Candlestick Display:
Forget cluttered chart backgrounds. Power of Three Fractals displays your chosen higher timeframe candles as a clean, stylized series of candlesticks in a dedicated space on the right side of your chart, allowing you to analyze HTF structure without losing focus on live price action.
Intelligent Adaptive Timeframe:
This is a game-changer. If you set the indicator to show 4H candles but switch your main chart to the Daily, it won't produce an error. Instead, it automatically adapts, recognizing the invalid selection and seamlessly switching to display the next logical timeframe (e.g., Weekly candles). This provides a flawless analytical experience as you move through timeframes.
Precision High/Low Anchors:
Dotted Lines: Instantly see which lower timeframe (LTF) candle created the high and low of the current HTF candle. This is perfect for visualizing manipulation wicks and the true Power of Three delivery.
Solid Lines: Automatically identify the absolute highest high and lowest low across the entire displayed range of HTF candles. The script then draws a solid line back to the exact LTF candle that formed these critical points, defining your true trading range. This feature intelligently hides itself if the current candle is making the high/low to avoid unnecessary clutter.
Automated Liquidity Sweep Detection:
This powerful, built-in algorithm automatically identifies one of the most critical price action events: a liquidity sweep. When a newer HTF candle takes the low of the oldest displayed candle and then closes back above it, the indicator instantly alerts you.
It draws a dashed line from the initial low to the end of the range and places a bold 'x' marker below the specific candle that performed the sweep, giving you a clear, unmissable signal of this key market event.
Integrated HTF Countdown Timer:
Stay perfectly in sync with the market. A clean, floating timer in the bottom-right corner displays a live countdown to the close of your selected higher timeframe candle, complete with a header so you always know which timeframe you're tracking.
Fully Customizable Aesthetics:
Tailor the indicator to your personal chart theme. You have full control over the colors of bullish/bearish candles, wicks, and all connecting lines, allowing for a seamless visual integration.
Who Is This Indicator For?
The Power of Three Fractals indicator is built for the discerning trader who understands that context is key. It is ideal for:
Day Traders & Scalpers needing constant awareness of higher timeframe control.
Swing Traders looking to time entries based on HTF structure and LTF shifts.
Price Action & "Smart Money Concept" Traders who utilize concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and fractals.

SMT Divergence [Dova Lazarus]Title: SMT
Description:
The SMT (Smart Money Technique) indicator is designed to help traders identify potential divergences between correlated assets, a key concept used in smart money trading strategies. It compares price action across two or more instruments to reveal hidden strength or weakness that may not be visible on a single chart.
Key Features:
Custom asset selection: Compare your main chart with any other TradingView symbol (e.g., BTC/USD vs. ETH/USD).
Real-time SMT divergence detection: Highlights potential bullish or bearish divergences when one asset makes a higher high/lower low while the other does not.
Visual markers: Plots intuitive visual cues directly on the chart to signal divergence.
Configurable timeframes: Use on any timeframe for both intraday and swing trading setups.
How to Use:
Select your base symbol (e.g., BTCUSD) on the chart.
In the indicator settings, choose a comparison symbol (e.g., ETHUSD).
Look for divergence signals:
Bearish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a higher high, comparison symbol fails to make a higher high → possible sell signal.
Bullish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a lower low, comparison symbol fails to make a lower low → possible buy signal.
This tool is ideal for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts or anyone interested in identifying smart money manipulation and market inefficiencies.
DD IFVG [Pro+] (Dodgy)Introduction
DD IFVG° is an automated charting tool built to track inversion logic after displacement events—specifically when Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are closed through and act as an inversion gap. The tool adheres to logic taught by DodgyDD and inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, offering a clean visual interface to support traders studying price behaviour after liquidity sweeps, FVG closures, and delivery to 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 and Timeframes.
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 breaks a prior swing high or low, effectively “sweeping” a level where orders may be clustered. A raid is a required precursor to inversion logic in this model. The tool will not evaluate a potential Fair Value Gap or DD Inversion 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.
DD Inversion: A DD inversion happens when price fully closes through an existing Fair Value Gap after raiding 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 behave with a change of orderflow (bullish inversion). The tool recognizes IFVGs as “inverted” after a full-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 DD Inversions for obvious flips in market behaviour.
DD Line: Once inversion occurs, the tool draws a single horizontal array on the candle's close. It marks the model’s activation level—not a prediction level or a support/resistance zone. It 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 DD line is triggered. When price reaches this swing, the model has reached its objective and could offer opportunities for further continuation to additional liquidity pools.
Invalidation: A DD Inversion 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 in bearish/bullish conditions. The DD line will continue extending when traded to until the setup is invalidated, 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 midpoint reference logic. It is not required by the model’s internal logic but may assist with discretionary interpretation.
Description
At its core, DD 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, a DD 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 validated 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 IFVG model.
The model remains active until either the opposing swing is tagged (completion) or Invalidation Condition is triggered (close through DD IFVG, or price violating the liquidity raid swing). Upon invalidation, the DD line turns gray, signalling 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 for both. This allows isolate directional focus or display all structures on the same chart mechanically.
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 custom Timeframe Alignment, explained inside of the setting tooltip. Custom allows for specific frame alignment, which is helpful when syncing with specific higher-Timeframe structure. Session allows the user to use session highs and lows for the liquidity raid. Observe the difference in the DD IFVG's frequency based on different Liquidity Timeframe configurations:
Chart:
Automatic:
Custom (1H):
Session:
The FVG Filter Timeframe requires the DD 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.
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 DD inversion is considered not longer valid. Close will maintain the inversion as active until price prints a body past the DD 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 will appear once price prints a candle body past the DD IFVG.
Model Style includes customizable controls for the DD 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 and IFVG.
An Info Table is available to display current model state, including user 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
DD 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, particularly for those following DodgyDD-style IFVG logic. 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 formation, inversion criteria, and the importance of opposing swing resolution.
Usage Guidance
Add DD IFVG° to a TradingView chart. This is a fractal script and can be applied across any Timeframe or asset pairing depending on your session model and preferences.
Use the DD 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 DD IFVG° in combination with your own discretion and narrative to assess when the model has flipped, held, or broken.

Real Time Swing Trap DetectorThe Real Time Swing Trap Detector is a minimalist, pro-grade tool for instantly spotting classic “bull traps” and “bear traps” on any chart.
This indicator identifies swing traps in real time by tracking significant swing highs and lows, then watching for fast, false breakouts (bull traps) and breakdowns (bear traps) within a user-defined window.
How it works:
Detects when price breaks a major swing high/low (using configurable lookback).
If price quickly reclaims the broken level within X bars (trap window), a trap is confirmed and a subtle icon (🐂 for bull, 🐻 for bear) is displayed on the chart—no labels, no clutter.
You can enable/disable alerts for bull/bear traps individually or together, and receive notifications the moment a trap is detected.
Use cases:
Spot and avoid classic market “fakeouts” that trap breakout traders.
Confirm SMC/ICT “Judas swing” setups, or filter for high-probability reversals.
Works on all timeframes and assets: stocks, crypto, forex, indices.
Inputs:
Swing Lookback Bars: How far back to define swing points (default: 50)
Major Swing Filter: Additional filter for only the most significant highs/lows (default: 200)
Trap Bars (Look Ahead): Window in which a trap must be confirmed (default: 10)
Enable Bull/Bear Trap Alerts: Toggle real-time alerts for each trap type.
Visuals:
🐻 icon below bar for bear trap (short squeeze/reversal)
🐂 icon above bar for bull trap (long squeeze/reversal)
How to set up alerts:
Add the indicator to your chart, open TradingView’s Alerts panel, and choose “Bear Trap Alert,” “Bull Trap Alert,” or “Any Trap Alert” for instant notifications.
BVB dominance bars
Hello everyone, this is my first indicator. these candles shows you who's in control. I like to think its some what close to heikin ashi candles as it shows you the Trend but doesn't average it out. also shows you when there is indecision. please read the instructions on how it works. its not a stand alone strategy. but adds value to your own strategy.
📖 How It Works
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is a visual tool that colors candles based on market control—whether bulls or bears are in charge. It uses a custom metric comparing the price's relationship to a smoothed moving average (EMA), then normalizes that difference over time to express relative bullish or bearish pressure.
Here’s the breakdown:
Bulls vs Bears Logic:
A short-term EMA (default: 14-period) is used to establish a midpoint reference.
Bull Pressure is calculated as how far the high is above this EMA.
Bear Pressure is how far the low is below this EMA.
These are normalized over a lookback period (default: 120 bars) to produce percentile scores (0–100) for both bulls and bears.
Dominance & Color Coding:
The indicator compares normalized bull and bear scores.
Candles are color-coded based on:
Bright Lime: Strong Bull Dominance (with high confidence)
Soft Lime/Yellow: Moderate Bull Control
Bright Red: Strong Bear Dominance
Soft Red/Yellow: Moderate Bear Control
Gray: Neutral/Low conviction
Optional Live Label:
A small floating label shows who has control: “Bull Control,” “Bear Control,” or “Neutral.”
🧠 How to Use It (Example Strategy)
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal but a market sentiment overlay. It’s most effective when combined with your own strategy, like price action or trend-following tools.
Here’s an example use case:
🧪 Reversal Confirmation Strategy
Objective: Catch high-probability reversals during key kill zones or supply/demand levels.
Setup:
Mark your key support/resistance zones using your standard method (e.g., FVGs, liquidity sweeps, or ICT PD arrays).
Wait for price to reach one of these zones.
Watch candle colors from the BvB Dominance Bars:
If you expect a bullish reversal, wait for a transition from red/gray candles to lime green or bright lime (bullish dominance taking over).
If you expect a bearish reversal, look for a change from green/gray to red or bright red.
Entry Filter:
Only enter if the dominant color holds for 2+ candles.
Avoid trades when candles are gray or yellow (indecision/neutral).

FVG (Nephew sam remake)Hello i am making my own FVG script inspired by Nephew Sam as his fvg code is not open source. My goal is to replicate his Script and then add in alerts and more functions. Thus, i spent few days trying to code. There is bugs such as lower time frame not showing higher time frame FVG.
This script automatically detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — imbalances between demand and supply — across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour).
15m chart shows:
15m FVGs (green/red boxes)
1H FVGs (lime/maroon)
4H FVGs (faded green/red with borders) (Bugged For now i only see 1H appearing)
1H chart shows:
1H FVGs
4H FVGs
4H chart shows:
4H FVGs only
There is the function to auto close FVG when a future candle fully disrespected it.
You're welcome to:
🔧 Customize the appearance: adjust box colors, transparency, border style
🧪 Add alerts: e.g., when price enters or fills a gap
📅 Expand to Daily/Weekly: just copy the logic and plug in "D" or "W" as new layers
📈 Build confluence logic: combine this with order blocks, liquidity zones, or ICT concepts
🧠 Experiment with entry signals: e.g., candle confirmation on return to FVG
🚀 Improve performance: if you find a lighter way to track gaps, feel free to optimize!
MTF PO3 Big Candle[RanaAlgo]The MTF PO3 Big Candle indicator displays a synthetic higher-timeframe candle (e.g., 1D or 4H) directly on your current chart for easier multi-timeframe analysis. It fetches OHLC data from the selected timeframe and plots a large, customizable candle with adjustable body thickness, optional wicks, and clear price labels. Dotted guide lines extend the high and low prices backward for reference, while an optional countdown timer shows the remaining time until the candle closes. The candle updates in real-time without repainting, helping traders track key levels from higher timeframes without switching charts. Colors, positioning, and visibility of elements can be fully customized.
Failed 2s - The StratDescription:
This indicator detects and highlights "Failed 2" candlestick patterns from The Strat methodology — key price action setups signaling potential reversals or continuation points. It automatically identifies Failed 2 Down (Failed 2D) and Failed 2 Up (Failed 2U) signals by analyzing two consecutive bars, with special attention to price interaction at the 50% midpoint of the previous candle.
Visuals:
- Green upward triangles mark Failed 2 Down signals (bullish setups).
- Red downward triangles mark Failed 2 Up signals (bearish setups).
- Special signals that touch the 50% midpoint of the previous candle are emphasized but use the same shapes.
Alerts:
Built-in alert conditions let you receive notifications when these patterns occur, so you never miss a trade opportunity.
How to Use ALERTS in TradingView
- Paste this code into Pine Editor on TradingView.
- Click Add to Chart.
Set alerts:
- Click "Alerts" → "Condition" = your indicator name
- Choose the alert type (e.g. "Failed 2D Bar Alert")
- Set "Once per bar close"

Plyo Tap'n'Slap (TnS) by OutOfOptionsThe Model
This Strategy/Model takes advantage of the strongest trend signature in the market, which is also the most basic move in the market. This basic move is what most traders consider to be a staircase, or trendline. ICT traders call this setup a “unicorn” which is just another word for when an Order block overlaps with an FVG. The beauty of this model is that you don't need to know what ANY of these things are.
The entry comes when a candles High or Low overlaps with a FVG that is at least 3 points away from both edges of the FVG. If the candle is too close to the edge then the setups is invalid (see rules for more). TO find a candle that overlaps with the FVG it also can not cut through any other price action, for example, A potential entry cant cut through another wick to make it overlap with the FVG. (see rules for more)
TnS gets its TP by analyzing what is called the "OG TP" The OG TP is determined by looking for the first tapped into the FVG, then looking for an immediate High or Low to the left of the candle that first tapped the FVG. IF there is no immediate High or low next to the candle that first tapped the FVG, then target the candle itself (see rules for more). IF the "OG TP" has already been hit before TnS gets its entry, then look to the left of the TnS entry candle for the immediate High or Low next to it. If there is no immediate High or Low next to the TnS Entry candle, then target the Entry candles, High or Low (see rules for more)
Model Rules
Overlapping H/L MUST be at least 3 points away from both edges of the FVG,
Overlapping H/L cannot cut through PA to make it overlap with the FVG,
Entries can only be the highest overlapping high or the lowest overlapping low,
If TnS Has already played out within the FVG then it should no longer be used,
If the FVGs OG TP has already been hit then use the TnS entry to re-align for your target,
No using NWOGs/NDOGs for setups. A NWOG is NOT the same thing as an FVG so this example
V2 Rules
If its a Bullish FVG then you need a bearish candle H/L that overlaps for your entry
If its a Bearish FVG then you need a bullish candle H/L that overlaps for your entry
Indicator Functionality
The indicator uses specific logic to identify FVGs that match the requirements of the TnS model, ensuring at least one valid entry exists per the default V1 rules of the model, or the stricter V2 rules if configured via settings. If entries (up to 2 per model rules) are identified, the FVG is highlighted, and each entry and its stop loss is marked with a line. The line styles, colors, and FVG color, which can vary depending on whether the entry is bullish or bearish, are configurable via settings.
Once the FVG is tapped into, the indicator will highlight the take profit spot and list all applicable entries, stop losses, and take profits in a table, the position and presence of which can be controlled within the indicator settings. When price action hits either stop loss or take profit, all elements are removed from the chart to avoid clutter.
Additionally, the indicator allows filtering of entries based on Risk/Reward (R:R), filtering out entries where take profit is less than the model stop loss and entries for which the stop loss resides inside the FVG itself. To help visualize setups where the FVG is outside the current visual range, the indicator has options to extend the FVG box and lines by a configurable number of bars. Once the FVG is tapped, the indicator will automatically extend lines/FVG box to the bar that tapped the FVG plus the configured number of bars.
TBR(3AM, 9AM, 3PM)How It Works
• Monitors 3 key institutional hours: 3AM (London Open), 9AM (New York Open), and 3PM (US Close)
• Captures the full range (high and low) of each 1H candle at those times
• Confirms breakout only if the next 1H candle closes above or below the range
• Draws the zone (box) aligned with the original hourly candle (not delayed)
• Displays retracement lines at:
- 25% (initial reaction)
- 50% (mitigation level)
- 75% (deep retracement entry)
Key Features
• Precise zone alignment — Boxes are anchored to the actual breakout candle
• Mitigation logic — Zones are considered mitigated once price revisits the 0.5 level
• Expiry filter — Zones automatically remove after 7 days
• Time zone support — Choose from major time zones or fixed UTC offsets (e.g., Etc/GMT+4)
• Multi-timeframe compatible — Works on all timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.)
• Clean structure — No duplicated boxes on lower timeframes
• Fully customizable colors and visibility toggles
Settings
• Toggle visibility for 3AM / 9AM / 3PM zones independently
• Choose time zone (supports America/New_York, UTC, Asia/Tokyo, etc.)
• Adjust how long zones stay visible (in hours)
• Enable/disable auto-removal after mitigation
Ideal For
• ICT traders
• Smart money concepts (SMC)
• Zone-based entries and liquidity grabs
• Traders using mitigation and premium/discount retracement logic
Tip
• Use this script with liquidity/volume indicators or SMT divergence for even stronger confluence.

Balanced Price Range | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator! A Balanced Price Range is a trading concept used by price action traders. It is detected by finding overlapping area between two contrary Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These areas can be used as entry points during market pullbacks. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Balanced Price Range Features :
Balanced Price Range Detection : Identifies areas where bullish and bearish FVGs overlap, suggesting a zone of price equilibrium.
Customizable FVG & BPR Detection : You can fine-tune FVG detection and sensitivity for BPR detection to your liking.
Retest Labels : Bullish & Bearish retest labels will be rendered for BPRs.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish BPR detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator doesn't just detect standard FVGs but specifically looks for areas where bullish and bearish IFVGs (Invalidated Fair Value Gaps) overlap, defining a Balanced Price Range. It also actively manages and updates identified BPR zones, removing them when they are invalidated or remain untouched for a specified period. It highlights and alerts users to retests of established BPR zones, signaling potential trading opportunities. Users can tailor the appearance of the BPR zones and retest markers, as well as configure specific alerts for new BPR formations and retests.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. The indicator first detects bullish & bearish FVG zones according to their formations on chart. Then, they are dynamically tracked and flagged as invalidated if the price crosses them, turning them into IFVGs. When a FVG & IFVG of the same type overlaps, the indicator combines them into a single BPR of corresponding type. The detected BPR is updated as new data comes in, and renders retests labels as they occur. A bullish BPR can be used to find long trade entry opportunities, while a bearish BPR can be used to find short trade entry opportunities. Retests can also indicate potential movements in the corresponding direction of the BPR. Users can set-up alerts for BPR detection & BPR retests and will get notified as they occur.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired BPR zones will remain visible on the chart.
Balanced Price Range:
FVG Detection Method: Determines the criteria for the bar types forming the initial FVG.
Same: All three bars forming the FVG must be of the same type (all bullish or all bearish).
Mixed: The bar types must vary (a mix of bullish and bearish bars).
All: Bar types can vary or be the same.
FVG Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the initial FVG.
BPR Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the Balanced Price Range.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity of FVG detection. Higher values may identify fewer, larger BPRs, while lower values may detect more, smaller BPRs.
Labels: Toggles the display of text labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables or disables the detection and visualization of BPR retests.
iFVG (BPR)
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inversion Zones (iFVGs) based concept from the ICT methodology.
An iFVG forms when a bullish and a bearish FVG overlap, creating a double imbalance zone. These are high-reaction points often targeted by smart money.
🔷 What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When the high of Candle 1 is lower than the low of Candle 3
Bearish FVG: When the low of Candle 1 is higher than the high of Candle 3
iFVG (or BPR): When a bullish and bearish FVG overlap, forming a double imbalance zone
🔷Mitigation Logic
An FVG or BPR becomes an iFVG when price closes against its original bias Once this happens, the zone is reclassified as a potential support or resistance (iFVG)
If price later mitigates the iFVG, all visual elements are automatically removed to keep the chart clean
🔷Visual Output
Standard FVGs: Customizable lines between Candle 1 and Candle 3
iFVGs (mitigated BPRs): Adjustable and highlighted rectangles to show the full zone
Mitigation Type: FVG or iFVG zones disappear when 50% of the zone is reached
🔷Custom Settings
Show Last Zones: Set how many recent zones to display on the chart (max 100)
Mitigation Type: Based on the percentage of zone coverage
Color & Style: Customize the appearance of FVG and iFVG zones
🔷 Use Case
This indicator is designed for real-time institutional analysis, helping traders identify:
Recent imbalances (FVGs)
Confluence zones (iFVGs = BPRs)
High-reaction points in the market
Ideal when combined with market structure, liquidity levels, and Kill Zones
Best used in combination with market structure, liquidity zones, and Kill Zone timing .
Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL) [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects and visualizes Equal High (EQH) and Equal Low (EQL) zones—key liquidity areas where price has previously stalled or reversed. These levels often attract institutional interest due to the liquidity buildup around them. The indicator is built to highlight such zones using dynamic thresholding, overbought/oversold RSI filtering, and adaptive mitigation logic to manage zone relevance over time.
CONCEPTS
Equal Highs/Lows are price points where the market has repeatedly failed to break past a certain high or low, hinting at areas where stop orders and pending interest may be concentrated. These areas are often prime targets for liquidity grabs or reversals. By combining this with RSI filtering, the script avoids false signals during neutral conditions and instead focuses on zones where market pressure is more directional.
FEATURES
Detection Logic: The script identifies EQH and EQL zones by comparing the similarity between recent highs or lows with a dynamic volatility threshold. The `tolerance` input allows users to control how strict this comparison is.
RSI Filtering: If enabled, it only creates zones when RSI is significantly overbought or oversold (based on the `state_thresh` input). This helps ensure zones form only in meaningful market conditions.
Zone Display: Bullish (EQL) zones are shown in grey, while bearish (EQH) zones are in blue. Two horizontal lines mark the zone using wick and body extremes, and a filled area visualizes the zone between them.
Zone Management: Zones automatically extend with price until they’re invalidated. You can choose whether a zone is removed based on wick or body sweeps and whether it requires one or two candle confirmations. Zones also expire after a customizable number of bars.
Alerts: Four alert conditions are built in—when a new EQH/EQL is formed and when one is mitigated—making it easy to integrate into alert-based workflows.
USAGE
Equal highs/lows can be used as liquidity markers, either as entry points or as take-profit targets.
This tool is ideal for liquidity-based strategies and helps traders map out possible reversal or sweep zones that often precede aggressive moves.
