Smart Money Essentials [TFO]This indicator utilizes “Smart Money Concepts” like liquidity, order blocks, premium & discount, and more to analyze price action.
What’s included in the initial release:
Market Structure
Liquidity
Displacement
Order Blocks
Premium / Discount
Confluence Table
Alerts
Market structure logic objectively identifies whether the current trend is bullish or bearish, based on swing highs and lows. Liquidity levels offer insight into major pivots where we can assume many traders may place their stop loss, which can also serve as areas where “Smart Money” may be accumulating or distributing positions.
Displacement adds to this by spotting rapid price movement, often accompanied by imbalances where price may come back to before continuing in the direction of the displacement. These can be filtered based on whether the imbalance is accompanied by a Break of Structure (BOS) or Market Structure Shift (MSS), which may give additional insight into the draw on liquidity.
Order blocks (OB’s) are detected and treated as areas that may offer support for price in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. Premium and discount zones are essentially fitted by an “auto-fib” retracement that looks at recent liquidity levels, and optionally offers areas to look for an Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) where price retraces between 62-79% of the preceding displacement leg.
The confluence table provides an organized place to visualize and identify where any of the above concepts may be present at or around the same time. We can implement a threshold where, if the number of selected factors meets or exceeds this threshold, we can potentially identify bullish and bearish opportunities where multiple layers of confluence are overlapping.
And of course, alerts are built in for all significant events related to the above concepts, for example: runs on liquidity, BOS and MSS, rejections from OB and OTE, etc.

Fair Value Gap Oscillator (Expo)█ Overview
The Fair Value Gap Oscillator (Expo) is an indicator based on the concept of Fair Value Gaps. It is a momentum indicator that helps traders identify mispricings in the market over time. The indicator also incorporates volume and volatility to increase its accuracy further. The indicator can be used in both trending and range-bound markets.
FVG occurs when there is an insufficient amount of buyers and sellers in the market for a particular asset. This can cause a sudden and large gap in the asset price, creating an imbalance in the price. This gap can be large enough to prevent traders from entering the market to take advantage of the price discrepancy. This, in turn, leads to a lack of liquidity and further price volatility.
█ How is the Fair Value Gap Oscialltor calculated?
The Fair Value Gap Oscillator is calculated by using historical Fair Value Gapa, volume, and volatility to determine if the market is trading at a discount or premium relative to its historical fair value. It is based on the idea that prices move in fair value cycles and that by looking at the oscillations of FVG data over time, traders can get a deeper insight into how imbalances impact the price over time.
█ Oscillator Trading
Oscillators are technical indicators that are used to measure momentum within a given market. These indicators measure the speed and magnitude of price movements. Traders use oscillators to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. They may look for overbought and oversold conditions, or they may look for divergence between the price of an asset and its oscillator. When these signals are identified, traders can then enter or exit positions accordingly.
█ How to use
It is a momentum indicator that helps traders identify mispricings in the market over time. In addition, the FVG Oscialltor can be used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market, as well as trends and leading trend changes.
Trending Indicator
The Fair Value Gap Oscillator can also be used to identify trends in the market. By tracking the FVG over time, investors can identify whether the market is trending up or down.
Leading Indicator
This indicator can be used to identify leading changes in the market’s momentum and price action. It will indicate beforehand when the momentum decreases and a potential trend change is about to come.
Divergences
Leading Indicators are great for identifying divergences. This Fair Value Gap Oscillator is a powerful yet simple tool to spot divergences in the market.
It is important to remember that the Fair Value Gap Oscillator is just one tool in your investment toolbox. It should be used in conjunction with other smart money concept indicators to identify excellent trading opportunities.
█ Indicator Features
Trend FVG
A Trend FVG feature is added to help Trend Traders get a long-term overview of the FVG trend. This feature can be used for the leading FVG calculation to get a predictive FVG trend.
Leading FVG Calculation
The leading calculation makes the Fair Value Gap oscillator sensitive to fair value changes and becomes more leading.
Trend Line
The Trend line feature is a combination of the leading and the long-term trend that can be used as trend confirmation.

TradingWolf Smart Money
The TradingWolf Premium Smart Money Concept is a unique and enhanced selection of ideas designed to help give you an edge on the markets.
Within this one indicator you will have access to Fair Value Gap, Order Blocks, Break of Structure, Forecasting, Supply & Demand.
Below find each explanations on how to use each indicator
This script comes with the 'TradingWolf Premium' to get access, read the Author’s Instructions below.
There are extensive explanations on how to use this in our documentation on the website but we will give a simple overview here.
Order Blocks
There are several different ways people like to calculate order blocks, one of the ways we like is by using pivot points to identify levels of importance, from there we either highlight the highest/lowest closed candle or the wick. The user has the option to choose this in the settings.
As seen in the image above, you can see these levels are well respected and give people an opportunity to help where the market marker is placing their orders.
Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps can be a very useful concept in price action trading. They detect instances in which there are inefficiencies, or imbalances, in the market. In this case, we define imbalance as an instance in which buying and selling is not equal. This is often visualised as a large candle whose neighbouring candles’ wicks do not fully overlap the large candle. Below are a few examples of Fair Value Gap.
If price is in a downtrend and there is a fair value gap above, a trader might look to go short when that FVG fills. Inversely, if price is in an uptrend and there is a FVG below, a trader might look to go long when the FVG fills.
In this script we decided to highlight both types, one is simply marking up all technical FVGs which is the gap produced by the large candle, the other more commonly traded ones are market structure breaking ones.
These ones tend to be more respected so note they are highlighted in a separate colour to make them more visible.
If a FVG has been filled that box will dim away so it's not in your way.
ChoCh
‘Change of Character’ Hugely used by professional traders although they may not have heard of it called by this term. This is where price/market structure is trending in a certain direction but price starts to reverse.
This first happens when there is a break of structure, instead of another Lower High formed, price makes a Higher High like in the image above. This is where we highlight a break of structure or some people will just refer to this as the Choch line, once we have this we can look for an Order block / supply zone below to find an entry.
This is a hugely powerful tool dating back to one of the simplest and first concepts of trading where Market structure is King.
Peaks & Troughs
This tool helps you find potential reversal points in your support/resistance area, Simple candlestick patterns but incredibly powerful when used in confluence with our other tools.
[VC] Cumulative Delta Volume BarsLet's first learn what is Delta & How to Use Cumulative Delta Volume Bars?
Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is one of the leading indicators that you can use when trading order flow. It gives you an instant snapshot of the buying and selling pressure in a market.
After reading the detailed description of "Cumulative Delta Volume Bars," you will understand how volume delta provides a critical edge by allowing you to spot significant potential reversals in the market. You will also learn to use this Cumulative Delta indicator in depth. (including rest session usability features)
What is Delta Volume?
Delta Volume is the difference between Buying and Selling Power. Delta Volume is calculated by taking the difference between the volume traded at the offer price and the volume traded at the bid price. (in simple words, the difference between buying pressure & selling pressure)
If delta volume is more than zero, you have more buying pressure than selling & vice versa, and if delta volume is less than zero, you have more selling pressure than buying.
In Order-Flow Analysis , traders used Cumulative Delta to measure the relationship between the Buying & Selling pressure Vs Price.
Cumulative delta volume takes the delta values for every bar and successively adds them together to provide a graph, as seen below visually.
Let me demonstrate by giving examples of how cumulative Delta can help measure the buying or selling pressure relative to the price move.
★ Trading Absorption & Exhaustion concepts with Delta
See the chart below & try to analyze the next possible move on the basses on the analysis mentioned on the chart.
➽➽ If you said Short, you were correct. ✅
Till Point A , both price & cumulative were aligned. (means there were no imbalances between Delta & Price).
But on Point B , the Cumulative Delta broke the previous resistance clearly and moved even further away from the resistance level, but the Price couldn't break the last resistance. It interprets that buyers applied a lot of buying pressure but no result. (Aggressive buying pressure absorbed by Passive sellers)
Due to this vast effort or failed attempt, buyers were exhausted and had no more strength to pull the Price up. That's why the Price reversed from Point B . See below image
★ Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is helpful when determining buying or selling pressure at different key price levels, such as swing highs or lows.
Let's recap on swing highs and swing lows.
➽ A swing high (S.H) is formed when the high reaches higher than the price action around it. Once the Price moves above a prior swing high and begins to retrace, a new swing high is formed.
➽ A swing low (S.L) is formed when the low reaches lower than price action around it. Once the Price moves below a prior swing low and begins to retrace, a new swing low is formed.
➽ When the Price makes higher highs and higher lows, a market is considered an uptrend.
➽ When the Price is making lower lows followed by lower highs, a market is considered a downtrend.
When evaluating Delta, it's beneficial to compare delta values at swing lows or swing highs to determine the amount of selling or buying pressure and how the market reacts.
The actual Power of Delta is revealed when we use it to determine the market's reaction to powerful buying or selling. We want to see if the market has reacted as we would expect or not.
In the above Example, you will notice that every time price breaks a swing, Delta does as well.
It makes sense as it takes selling pressure to break a swing low or buying pressure to break a swing high. In simple words, we can say that there is no anomaly between delta direction & price direction.
In simple words (No Absorption or Exhaustion)
But what's occurring when this isn't the case, and we have divergence between Price and Delta? Let's analyze it with real examples.
★ Understanding Delta Divergence.
(Lack of Harmony in Buying/Selling Pressure & Price Move)
Notice how the Price breaks out of the previous resistance level on the above chart, but the Delta didn't yet reach even close to its last resistance level. It's a clear divergence between Price and Delta. Buyers may be slightly exhausted at the previous resistance level, and Price & Delta may retrace slightly. But in a broader view, it reflects a strong bullish signal.
See the above chart & see when and why the Price moved. I hope it will help you understand the underlying relation & story between Price & Delta.
Cumulative Delta & Trade Management
Delta will help you spot significant reversals, but it can also be used to help manage your open trade. You want to see a high correlation between Delta and Price when in a long or short position.
Suppose you're short while the Price is breaking a new low. You want to see Delta breaking low if sellers aren't interested in selling at the recent lows, represented by Delta not breaking lows. The probability of a short term reversal or a significant retrace increases.
When in a position, always be on the lookout for exhaustion and absorption, signalling a reversal potential.

➽Conclusion:
Cumulative Volume Delta Bars is one of the leading indicators you can include as an order flow trader in your arsenal. It gives you an inside look at buying and selling pressure and how the market reacts.
But Keep in mind, in trading & technical analysis, nothing is 100% certain. No indicator can give you a 100% success rate. There is no holy grail in the financial market. As a trader, with the help of technical & fundamental indicators, our goal is to find an edge over the market. A simple definition of an edge is: Anything that adds a few points to the winning side of an equation builds an edge that lasts a lifetime. A trading edge defines your technical or strategic advantage in the highly competitive market environment. Traders can establish multiple edges by starting with popular strategies and customizing rules to lower the risk of getting trapped with the emotional crowd.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Volume Bars It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should know about Volume, Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
FVG Maxing - Fair Value Gaps, Equilibrium, and Candle Patterns
What this script does
This open-source indicator highlights 3-candle fair value gaps (FVGs) on the active chart timeframe, draws their midpoint ("equilibrium") line, tracks when each gap is mitigated, and optionally marks simple candle patterns (engulfing and doji) for confluence. It is intended as an educational tool to study how price interacts with imbalances.
3-candle bullish and bearish FVG zones drawn as forward-extending boxes.
Equilibrium line at 50% of each gap.
Different styling for mitigated vs unmitigated gaps.
Compact statistics panel showing how many gaps are currently active and filled.
Optional overlays for bullish/bearish engulfing patterns and doji candles.
1. FVG logic (3-candle gaps)
The script focuses on a strict 3-candle definition of a fair value gap:
Three consecutive candles with the same body direction.
The wick of candle 3 is separated from the wick of candle 1 (no overlap).
A bullish gap is created when price moves up fast enough to leave a gap between candle 1 and 3. A bearish gap is the mirror case to the downside.
In Pine, the core detection looks like this:
// Three candles with the same body direction
bull_seq = close > open and close > open and close > open
bear_seq = close < open and close < open and close < open
// Wick gap between candle 1 and candle 3
bull_gap = bull_seq and low > high
bear_gap = bear_seq and high < low
// Final FVG flags
is_bull_fvg = bull_gap
is_bear_fvg = bear_gap
For each detected FVG:
Bullish FVG range: from high up to low (gap below current price).
Bearish FVG range: from low down to high (gap above current price).
Each zone is stored in a custom FVGData structure so it can be updated when price later trades back inside it.
2. Equilibrium line (0.5 of the gap)
Every FVG box gets an optional equilibrium line plotted at the midpoint between its top and bottom:
eq_level = (top + bottom) / 2.0
right_index = extend_boxes ? bar_index + extend_length_bars : bar_index
bx = box.new(bar_index - 2, top, right_index, bottom)
eq_ln = line.new(bar_index - 2, eq_level, right_index, eq_level)
line.set_style(eq_ln, line.style_dashed)
line.set_color(eq_ln, eq_color)
You can use this line as a neutral “fair value” reference inside the zone, or as a simple way to think in terms of premium/discount within each gap.
3. Mitigation rules and styling
Each FVG stays active until price trades back into the gap:
Bullish FVG is considered mitigated when the low touches or moves below the top of the gap.
Bearish FVG is considered mitigated when the high touches or moves above the bottom of the gap.
When that happens, the script:
Marks the internal FVGData entry as mitigated.
Softens the box fill and border colors.
Optionally updates the label text from "BULL EQ / BEAR EQ" to "BULL FILLED / BEAR FILLED".
Can hide mitigated zones almost completely if you only want to see unfilled imbalances.
This allows you to distinguish between current areas of interest and zones that have already been traded through.
4. Candle pattern overlays (engulfing and doji)
For additional confluence, the script can mark simple candle patterns on top of the FVG view:
Bullish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bearish body and is larger in size.
Bearish engulfing — current candle body fully wraps the previous bullish body and is larger in size.
Doji — candles where the real body is small relative to the full range (high–low).
The detection is based on basic body and range geometry:
curr_body = math.abs(close - open)
prev_body = math.abs(close - open )
curr_range = high - low
body_ratio = curr_range > 0 ? curr_body / curr_range : 1.0
bull_engulfing = close > open and close < open and open <= close and close >= open and curr_body > prev_body
bear_engulfing = close < open and close > open and open >= close and close <= open and curr_body > prev_body
is_doji = curr_range > 0 and body_ratio <= doji_body_ratio
On the chart, they appear as:
Small triangle markers below bullish engulfing candles.
Small triangle markers above bearish engulfing candles.
Small circles above doji candles.
All three overlays are optional and can be turned on or off and recolored in the CANDLE PATTERNS group of inputs.
5. Inputs overview
The script organizes settings into clear groups:
DISPLAY SETTINGS : Show bullish/bearish FVGs, show/hide mitigated zones, box extension length, box border width, and maximum number of boxes.
EQUILIBRIUM : Toggle equilibrium lines, color, and line width.
LABELS : Enable labels, choose whether to label unmitigated and/or mitigated zones, and select label size.
BULLISH COLORS / BEARISH COLORS : Separate fill and border colors for bullish and bearish gaps.
MITIGATED STYLE : Opacity used when a gap is marked as mitigated.
STATISTICS : Toggle the on-chart FVG statistics panel.
CANDLE PATTERNS : Show engulfing patterns, show dojis, colors, and the body-to-range threshold that defines a doji.
6. Statistics panel
An optional table in the corner of the chart summarizes the current state of all tracked gaps:
Total number of FVGs still being tracked.
Number of bullish vs bearish FVGs.
Number of unfilled vs mitigated FVGs.
Simple fill rate: percentage of tracked FVGs that have been marked as mitigated.
This can help you study how a particular market tends to treat gaps over time.
7. How you might use it (examples)
These are usage ideas only, not recommendations:
Study how often your symbol mitigates gaps and where inside the zone price tends to react.
Use higher-timeframe context and then refine entries near the equilibrium line on your trading timeframe.
Combine FVG zones with basic candle patterns (engulfing/doji) as an extra visual anchor, if that fits your process.
Hope you enjoy, give your feedback in the comments!

[Yorsh] BJN MTF FVG/iFVG v1.01. Executive Summary
The BJN MTF FVG/iFVG v1.0 is a highly specialized and performance-optimized tool for TradingView that provides a multi-layered view of market imbalances. Built on the modern PineScript v6, its sole purpose is to detect and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from up to five user-defined higher timeframes directly onto a single chart.
In a market saturated with "all-in-one" tools that slow down trading platforms, this indicator's primary competitive advantage is its unrelenting focus on speed and clarity. It is engineered from the ground up to be a lightweight, efficient, and "noise-reducing" utility. It provides traders with essential higher-timeframe context without the lag, clutter, or performance degradation typical of other multi-timeframe (MTF) indicators.
2. Core Features Overview
The indicator is designed with a "do one thing well" philosophy, concentrating on the accurate and efficient plotting of multi-timeframe FVGs.
A. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) FVG Plotting
Up to Five Custom Timeframes: You can monitor FVGs from any five timeframes of your choice (e.g., 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 1H) simultaneously, all from your main trading chart. This eliminates the need to constantly switch between charts to understand the broader market structure.
Clear Labeling: Each FVG box is cleanly labeled with its corresponding timeframe (e.g., "5 ✔"), so you can instantly identify its origin and significance.
B. Intelligent FVG Validation & Sizing
Dynamic Sizing Rules: The indicator intelligently validates FVGs based on their size in points. It automatically applies a larger minimum size requirement during the volatile NY session and a smaller requirement for non-NY hours, effectively filtering out minor, insignificant gaps and focusing only on meaningful imbalances.
Validity Markers: FVGs that meet the minimum size criteria are marked with a checkmark ("✔") and extended slightly into the future, signifying them as potent support/resistance zones. Undersized FVGs are marked with an "✖" and treated as potential areas of weakness.
C. Unique "iFVG" Noise Reduction
This is a key feature for maintaining a clean chart. The indicator tracks undersized, "invalid" FVGs and waits to see how the market reacts to them.
Automatic Deletion or Recolor: When the price closes through an invalid FVG (creating an "iFVG" or inverted FVG), the user has two choices:
Delete Box (Default): The box is automatically removed from the chart. This is the "Noise Reduction" mode, designed to keep the workspace free of irrelevant, broken levels.
Recolor Box: The box is recolored to a faded gray. This option is ideal for traders who want to backtest and study how these broken, minor FVGs behave as future support or resistance.
D. Smart Visibility Options
Prevents Duplication: The indicator includes an intelligent option to automatically hide an MTF box if its timeframe matches your current chart's timeframe. This is designed to work seamlessly with a Current Timeframe (CTF) FVG indicator, preventing redundant, overlapping boxes.
3. The Performance Advantage: A Lag-Free MTF Experience
Multi-timeframe indicators are notoriously resource-intensive and are the primary cause of chart lag on TradingView. The BJN MTF FVG indicator was specifically engineered to solve this problem, making it far superior to its competitors.
Optimized timeframe.change() Trigger: Instead of recalculating its logic on every single price tick, the script only runs its intensive request.security calls when a candle closes on the specified higher timeframe. This reduces the number of calculations by over 99% compared to poorly coded MTF indicators, resulting in a dramatic performance increase.
Strict Historical Limits: The user can define a maximum history lookback (in hours or minutes) for each timeframe. For example, the 1-minute chart might only process the last 4 hours of data. This prevents the indicator from drawing thousands of historical boxes that are no longer relevant, which is the main cause of platform freezing and slow loading times.
Lightweight State Management: The script maintains a very small, active list of only the invalid FVGs it needs to monitor for inversion. Valid FVGs are simply "fire-and-forget" drawings, meaning they don't consume ongoing memory or processing power.
In short, this indicator delivers the critical higher-timeframe context traders need without ever compromising the speed and responsiveness of your trading platform.
4. Ideal User Profile
This indicator is the perfect tool for:
Day Traders and Scalpers: Who need to be aware of higher-timeframe support and resistance levels without leaving their execution chart.
SMC / ICT Traders: Who use multi-timeframe FVG confluence as a core part of their trading strategy.
Performance-Focused Traders: Anyone who has experienced chart lag from other indicators and desires a clean, fast, and reliable toolkit.
Traders Seeking Clarity: Individuals who prefer a decluttered workspace and want an indicator that intelligently removes irrelevant information.
5. Conclusion
The BJN MTF FVG/iFVG v1.0 excels through its simplicity, intelligence, and exceptional performance. It rejects the "kitchen-sink" approach of other tools and instead provides a refined, highly optimized solution to one of the most important tasks in modern trading: analyzing multi-timeframe market structure. It is a faster, cleaner, and more intelligent way to map higher-timeframe liquidity.
CyberTradingV1.4 TRexCyberTradingV1.3 — Multi-TF Volatility/Structure + FVG Suite (by College Pips)
TL;DR
One utility to read volatility regime (ATR vs TH), map market structure & swings, and track FVG/CE imbalances—so you can gauge range, context and entries in one place. No signals or promises; it’s a contextual toolkit.
What it does
Volatility table (multi-TF): Shows ATR-style and TH proxies across 1m → Monthly, so you can compare current TF vs higher TFs.
Composite levels: LQC / GAM / Trigger / TRex quantify “how much is enough” for legs/impulses relative to the active TF.
Structure & swings: Validated swing highs/lows with optional time-anchored rectangles (height sized by LQC) and auto structure/diagonal lines.
Imbalances (FVG): Auto-detect UP/DOWN FVGs, extend forward, optional CE line; alerts fire on touches/entries/fills.
Candle sizing: Directional color map by fixed ATR-ratio buckets; Inside Bars are force-colored for clarity.
How components work together (mashup rationale)
Read regime with the table (ATR vs TH per TF).
Map structure with swings/lines to see HH/HL/LH/LL context.
Focus imbalances with FVG + optional CE; monitor with alerts.
Act with thresholds using LQC/GAM/Trigger/TRex to standardize expectations across symbols/TFs.
Method transparency
ATR/TH math: ATR is a smoothed multi-window blend; TH scales the daily range to TF via √time.
Composites: LQC ≈ √(ATR×TH) × C(TF); GAM2/3/4 and Trigger/TRex apply TF-specific scalars to min/max aggregates (see source for exact coefficients).
Multi-TF: Values come from request.security and finalize on higher-TF bar close (no look-ahead).
Swings: Confirmed using left/right strengths; labels are offset back to the pivot bar.
FVG/CE: Classic 3-bar definition; CE is the midpoint line. Boxes extend until touched/filled; optional auto-delete on fill.
Usage
Enable the table to gauge expansion/contraction.
Turn on swing rectangles for LQC-sized reaction zones.
Toggle FVG + CE on your execution TF; use alerts to catch re-entries/resolutions.
Combine with price action and your own trade plan.
Limitations & fair warnings (be honest)
Offsets/past plotting: Swing labels and rectangles are anchored to past bars (offset = -right_strength). They do not predict future bars.
Repainting notes: Swings confirm after right_strength bars; higher-TF values finalize on their close. Past markings can update as confirmations occur.
Tick handling: Uses syminfo.mintick (special cases for JPY/XAU/XAG). Validate on exotic symbols.
No promises: This is a context tool, not a buy/sell signal generator.
Alerts included
ABOVE/BELOW threshold: Price crossing CE or FVG bounds.
IOFED up/down: Price entering an FVG from above/below.
Inputs (high-level)
Layout/positioning, color palettes, swing rectangle styling (width/fill/border), detection strengths, label/line widths, FVG lookback, CE on/off & style, auto-delete filled boxes.
Credits & reuse
Concepts like FVG/CE are widely known in market-microstructure education.
This implementation—table architecture, LQC/GAM/Trigger framework, swing rectangles, candle bucketing, and alert logic—is original to College Pips / CyberTradingV1.4
ICT Confirmed FVG Indicator ICT FVG Indicator (Confirmed by Swings)
Summary
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) by confirming them with market structure. It filters out random imbalances and only highlights the FVGs that are created at the same time as a confirmed ICT Swing High or Swing Low.
The core principle is to connect price imbalances directly to significant shifts in market structure, providing a cleaner and more powerful signal.
What It Does
Identifies Swing Points: Automatically detects and draws confirmed swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) on your chart based on the settings you choose.
Finds Fair Value Gaps: It scans the chart for the classic 3-candle FVG pattern (also known as a BISI or SIBI).
Confirms FVGs with Swings: This is the most important feature. The indicator will only draw an FVG box if one of the three candles that created the FVG is also a confirmed swing point. This ensures you are only seeing imbalances that are directly related to a break in market structure.
Invalidates Old FVGs: To keep the chart clean, the indicator will automatically remove an FVG box after the price has fully passed through it a certain number of times (customizable in the settings).
Settings Explained
ICT Swings Settings
Left/Right Strength: Controls the sensitivity of the swing detection. Higher numbers require a more significant, obvious swing point to be confirmed. Lower numbers will identify more minor swings.
Max Swing Lines: Sets the maximum number of swing high and swing low lines to display on the chart at one time.
Swing High/Low Color: Customize the color of the swing point lines.
FVG Settings
Show Bullish/Bearish FVG: Use these checkboxes to turn the bullish (green) or bearish (red) FVG boxes on or off.
Bullish/Bearish FVG Color: Customize the color of the FVG boxes.
FVG Invalidation Threshold: This sets how many times the price can fully close on the other side of an FVG before the box is automatically removed.
Max Active FVGs to Show: Sets the maximum number of FVG boxes to keep on the chart to prevent clutter.
Key Features

Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage AnalyzerThe Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage Analyzer is a sophisticated tool designed for traders aiming to exploit price deviations between various asset pairs. By examining the differences in normalized price relations and their weighted residuals, this indicator provides insights into potential arbitrage opportunities in the market.
Key Features:
Multiple Relation Analysis: Analyze up to five different asset relations simultaneously, offering a comprehensive view of potential arbitrage setups.
Normalization Functions: Choose from a variety of normalization techniques like SMA, EMA, WMA, and HMA to ensure accurate comparisons between different price series.
Dynamic Weighting: Residuals are weighted based on their correlation, ensuring that stronger correlations have a more pronounced impact on the analysis. Weighting can be adjusted using several functions including square, sigmoid, and logistic.
Regression Flexibility: Incorporate linear, polynomial, or robust regression to calculate residuals, tailoring the analysis to different market conditions.
Customizable Display: Decide which plots to display for clarity and focus, including normalized relations, weighted residuals, and the difference between the screen relation and the average weighted residual.
Usage Guidelines:
Configure the asset pairs you wish to analyze using the Symbol Relations group in the settings.
Adjust the normalization, volatility, regression, and weighting functions based on your preference and the specific characteristics of the asset pairs.
Monitor the weighted residuals for deviations from the mean. Larger deviations suggest stronger arbitrage opportunities.
Use the difference plot (between the screen relation and average weighted residual) as a quick visual cue for potential trade setups. When this plot deviates significantly from zero, it indicates a possible arbitrage opportunity.
Regularly update and adjust the parameters to account for changing market conditions and ensure the most accurate analysis.
In the Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage Analyzer , the value set in Alert Threshold plays a crucial role in delineating a normalized band. This band serves as a guide to identify significant deviations and potential trading opportunities.
When we observe the plots of the green line and the purple line, the Alert Threshold provides a boundary for these plots. The following points explain the significance:
Breach of the Band: When either the green or purple line crosses above or below the Alert Threshold , it indicates a significant deviation from the mean. This breach can be interpreted as a potential trading signal, suggesting a possible arbitrage opportunity.
Convergence to the Mean: If the green line converges with the purple line , it denotes that the price relation has reverted to its mean. This convergence typically suggests that the arbitrage opportunity has been exhausted, and the market dynamics are returning to equilibrium.
Trade Execution: A trader can consider entering a trade when the lines breach the Alert Threshold . The return of the green line to align closely with the purple line can be seen as a signal to exit the trade, capitalizing on the reversion to the mean.
By monitoring these plots in conjunction with the Alert Threshold , traders can gain insights into market imbalances and exploit potential arbitrage opportunities. The convergence and divergence of these lines, relative to the normalized band, serve as valuable visual cues for trade initiation and termination.
When you're analyzing relations between two symbols (for instance, BINANCE:SANDUSDT/BINANCE:NEARUSDT ), you're essentially looking at the price relationship between the two underlying assets. This relationship provides insights into potential imbalances between the assets, which arbitrage traders can exploit.
Breach of the Lower Band: If the purple line touches or crosses below the lower Alert Threshold , it indicates that the first symbol (in our example, SANDUSDT ) is undervalued relative to the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ). In practical terms:
Action: You would consider buying the first symbol ( SANDUSDT ) and selling the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ).
Rationale: The expectation is that the price of the first symbol will rise, or the price of the second symbol will fall, or both, thereby converging back to their historical mean relationship.
Breach of the Upper Band: Conversely, if the difference plot touches or crosses above the upper Alert Threshold , it suggests that the first symbol is overvalued compared to the second. This implies:
Action: You'd consider selling the first symbol ( SANDUSDT ) and buying the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ).
Rationale: The anticipation here is that the price of the first symbol will decrease, or the price of the second will increase, or both, bringing the relationship back to its historical average.
Convergence to the Mean: As mentioned earlier, when the green line aligns closely with the purple line, it's an indication that the assets have returned to their typical price relationship. This serves as a signal for traders to consider closing out their positions, locking in the gains from the arbitrage opportunity.
It's important to note that when you're trading based on symbol relations, you're essentially betting on the relative performance of the two assets. This strategy, often referred to as "pairs trading," seeks to capitalize on price imbalances between related financial instruments. By taking opposing positions in the two symbols, traders aim to profit from the eventual reversion of the price difference to the mean.
ROBUST iFVG [SurgeGuru]The FVG/iFVG Robust Lifecycle indicator is a sophisticated market structure tool that moves beyond simple gap detection. It tracks the complete narrative of a Fair Value Gap—from its creation as a market imbalance to its resolution and the establishment of a new equilibrium zone. This dual-phase, institutional-grade approach provides a dynamic map of support and resistance, offering a profound edge in predicting price behavior.
Core Concept: The Two-Phase Lifecycle
The indicator is built on the principle that a Fair Value Gap has two distinct lives:
Phase 1: The Imbalance (FVG)
What it is: A rapid price move that leaves behind a "gap" or "void" with no trading activity.
Market Implication: Represents a moment of intense buying or selling pressure, creating an inefficient area price is statistically likely to return to.
Phase 2: The Equilibrium (iFVG)
What it is: A powerful support/resistance zone that forms the instant the original FVG is filled.
Market Implication: Represents the market's new consensus of "fair value" after the initial imbalance has been arbitraged away. This is often where institutional order flow resides for the next significant move.
Differentiators & "Robust" Features
Lifecycle Tracking: Unlike basic FVG tools that disappear once filled, this indicator captures the subsequent, often more important, iFVG phase.
Configurable Longevity: Offers two professional methods for managing iFVG lifespan (Full Cross or Number of Bars), preventing chart clutter while preserving relevant levels.
Advanced Alerting: Provides separate, configurable alerts for both FVG creation and iFVG formation, allowing traders to anticipate both the fill of an imbalance and the reaction at the new equilibrium.
Visual Hierarchy: Uses distinct, customizable colors and borders to instantly communicate the difference between an active imbalance (FVG) and an active decision zone (iFVG).
Code Architecture & How It Works
The script is a state management system built around two primary arrays that track the lifecycle of detected gaps.
1. Core Data Structures
The entire system is powered by parallel arrays that maintain the state of each detected zone:
FVG Arrays (Tracks Phase 1 - The Imbalance):
fvg_boxes : Stores the drawing object for each FVG.
fvg_top & fvg_bot : Store the price boundaries of the gap.
fvg_is_bull : Stores whether the FVG is bullish or bearish.
fvg_mitigated : The core state flag; becomes true when the FVG is filled, triggering the creation of an iFVG.
iFVG Arrays (Tracks Phase 2 - The Equilibrium):
ifvg_boxes : Stores the drawing object for each Inverse FVG.
ifvg_top & ifvg_bot : Inherits the price values from the parent FVG.
ifvg_is_bull : Is the inverse of the parent FVG's bias.
ifvg_original_fvg_index : Maintains a link back to the parent FVG for advanced management.
2. The Operational Workflow (Step-by-Step)
On every new bar, the script executes the following sequence:
STEP A: FVG Detection
The script checks for the 3-bar FVG pattern:
bullish_fvg = low > high (Current low is above the high from two bars ago)
bearish_fvg = high < low (Current high is below the low from two bars ago)
Upon detection, it creates a new box and pushes all its properties (price levels, bullish flag, etc.) into the FVG Arrays.
STEP B: FVG Management & Mitigation Check
The script iterates through all active FVGs in the fvg_boxes array.
For each FVG, it checks if the current price has "mitigated" (filled) the gap:
A Bullish FVG is mitigated if the current bar's low (body_low) crosses below the FVG's bottom boundary (bot_val).
A Bearish FVG is mitigated if the current bar's high (body_high) crosses above the FVG's top boundary (top_val).
If mitigation occurs, the script sets the FVG's fvg_mitigated flag to true.
STEP C: iFVG Creation (The Phase Transition)
The moment an FVG's fvg_mitigated flag is set to true, the script immediately creates a new iFVG.
It takes the exact same price levels from the parent FVG but inverts the bias (a mitigated Bullish FVG creates a Bearish iFVG, and vice versa).
It draws a new box with the user-defined iFVG color and border, and pushes all its properties into the iFVG Arrays.
STEP D: iFVG Lifecycle Management
The script iterates through all active iFVGs.
Depending on the user's setting, it manages the iFVG's lifespan:
Full Cross Mode: The iFVG remains active until price fully crosses through it again. Once crossed, the iFVG and its parent FVG are permanently deleted.
Number of Bars Mode: The iFVG remains visible for a fixed number of bars after its creation, then is automatically deactivated.
STEP E: Cleanup & Garbage Collection
The script constantly manages the visibility of boxes based on user toggles (show_normal_fvg, show_ifvg). If a feature is turned off, the boxes are not deleted but made transparent, allowing for fast performance and instant reactivation.
3. Alert System Architecture
The alert system is integrated into the state transitions:
FVG Alerts fire during STEP A (on creation).
iFVG Alerts fire during STEP C (on creation, which is the moment of FVG mitigation).
iFVG Mitigation Alerts fire during STEP D (when an iFVG is removed in Full Cross mode).
Conclusion
The FVG/iFVG Robust Lifecycle is not a mere indicator; it is a state-aware market analysis engine. By architecting a system that tracks the entire lifecycle of a price gap, it provides a dynamic, self-cleaning map of market imbalance and subsequent equilibrium. This offers a systematic framework for identifying high-probability support/resistance zones, making it an indispensable tool for discerning the underlying structure of price action.

Order Blocks + Order-Flow ProxiesOrder Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies
This indicator combines structural analysis of order blocks with lightweight order-flow style proxies, providing a tool for chart annotation and contextual study. It is designed to help users visualize where significant structural shifts occur and how simple volume-based signals behave around those areas. The script does not guarantee profitable outcomes, nor does it issue financial advice. It is intended purely for research, learning, and discretionary use.
Conceptual Background
Order Blocks
An “order block” is a term often used to describe a zone on the chart where price left behind a significant reversal or imbalance before continuing strongly in the opposite direction. In practice, this can mean the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong breakout. Traders sometimes study these regions because they believe that unfilled resting orders may exist there, or simply because they mark important pivots in price structure. This indicator detects such moments by scanning for breaks of structure (BOS). When price pushes above or below recent swing levels with sufficient displacement, the script identifies the prior opposite candle as the potential order block.
Break of Structure
A break of structure in this context is defined when the closing price moves beyond the highest high or lowest low of a short lookback window. The script compares the magnitude of this break to an ATR-based displacement filter. This helps ensure that only meaningful moves are marked rather than small, random fluctuations.
Order-Flow Proxies
Traditional order flow analysis may use bid/ask data, footprint charts, or volume profiles. Because TradingView scripts cannot access true order-book data, this indicator instead uses proxy signals derived from standard chart data:
Delta (proxy): Estimated imbalance of buying vs. selling pressure, approximated using bar direction and volume.
Imbalance ratio: Normalizes delta by total volume, ranging between -1 and +1 in theory.
Cumulative Delta (CVD): Running sum of delta over time.
Effort vs. Result (EvR): A comparison between volume and actual bar movement, highlighting cases where large effort produced little result (or vice versa).
These are not real order-flow measurements, but rather simple mathematical constructs that mimic some of its logic.
How the Script Works
Detecting Break of Structure
The user specifies a swing length. When price closes above the recent high (for bullish BOS) or below the recent low (for bearish BOS), a potential shift is recorded.
To qualify, the breakout must exceed a displacement filter proportional to the ATR. This helps filter out weak moves.
Locating the Order Block Candle
Once a BOS is confirmed, the script looks back within a short window to find the last opposite-colored candle.
The high/low or open/close of that candle (depending on user settings) is marked as the potential order block zone.
Drawing and Maintaining Zones
Each order block is represented as a colored rectangle extending forward in time.
Bullish zones are teal by default, bearish zones are red.
Zones extend until invalidated (price closing or wicking beyond them, depending on user preference) or until a user-defined lifespan expires.
A pruning mechanism ensures that only the most recent set number of zones remain, preventing chart overload.
Monitoring Touches
The script checks whether the current bar’s range overlaps any existing order block.
If so, the “closest” zone is considered touched, and a label may appear on the chart.
Confirmation Filters
Touches can optionally be confirmed by order-flow proxies.
For a bullish confirmation, the following must align:
Imbalance ratio above threshold,
Delta EMA positive,
Effort vs. Result positive.
For a bearish confirmation, the opposite holds true.
Optionally, a higher-timeframe EMA slope filter can gate these confirmations. For example, a bullish confirmation may only be accepted if the higher-timeframe EMA is sloping upward.
Alerts
Users may create alerts based on conditions such as “bullish touch confirmed” or “bearish touch confirmed.”
Alerts can be gated to only fire after bar close, reducing intrabar noise.
Standard alertcondition calls are provided, and optional inline alert() calls can be enabled.
Inputs and Customization
Structure & OB
Swing length: Defines how many bars back to check for BOS.
ATR length & displacement factor: Adjust sensitivity for structural breaks.
Body vs. wick reference: Choose whether zones are based on candle bodies or full ranges.
Invalidation rule: Pick between wick breach or close beyond the level.
Lifespan (bars): Limit how long a zone remains active.
Max keep: Cap the number of zones stored to reduce clutter.
Order-Flow Proxies
Delta mode: Choose between “Close vs Previous Close” or “Body” for delta calculation.
EMA length: Smooths the delta/imbalance series.
Z-score lookback: Defines the averaging window for EvR.
Confirmation thresholds: Adjust the imbalance levels required for long/short confirmation.
Higher Timeframe Filter
Enable HTF gate: Optional filter requiring higher-timeframe EMA slope alignment.
HTF timeframe & EMA length: Configurable for context alignment.
Style
Colors and transparency for bullish and bearish zones.
Border color customization.
Alerts
Enable inline alerts: Optional direct calls to alert().
Alerts on bar close only: Helps avoid multiple firings during bar formation.
Practical Use
This tool is best seen as a way to annotate charts and to study how simple volume-derived signals behave near important structural levels. Some users may:
Observe whether order blocks line up with later price reactions.
Study how imbalance or cumulative delta conditions align with these zones.
Use it in a discretionary workflow to highlight areas of interest for deeper analysis.
Because the proxies are based only on candle OHLCV data, they are approximations. They cannot replace true depth-of-market analysis. Similarly, order block detection here is one specific algorithmic interpretation; other traders may define order blocks differently.
Limitations and Disclaimers
This indicator does not predict future price movement.
It does not access real order book or tick-by-tick data. All signals are derived from bar OHLCV.
Past performance of signals or zones does not guarantee future results.
The script is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.
Users should test thoroughly, adjust parameters to their own instruments and timeframes, and use it in combination with broader analysis.
Summary
The Order Blocks + Order-Flow Proxies script is an experimental study tool that:
Detects potential order blocks using a displacement-filtered break of structure.
Marks these zones as boxes that persist until invalidation or expiry.
Provides lightweight order-flow-style proxies such as delta, imbalance, CVD, and effort vs. result.
Allows confirmation of zone touches through these proxies and optional higher-timeframe context.
Offers flexible customization, alerting, and chart-style options.
It is not a trading system by itself but rather a framework for studying price/volume behavior around structurally significant areas. With careful exploration, it can give users new ways to visualize market structure and to understand how simple flow-like measures behave in those contexts.
Sniper BreakoutThis indicator is based on 3 indicator :=
1) Forex Market Session 2) Ema 200 3) Volume
This indicator is for Forex market ..in Forex market (ex- Eur/Usd ) price often (67%) do rotation in every session means example :let suppose a trade take trade in asian session and have 30 pips stop loss 67 % chance price will come back to entry price after London session or New York session so trade have less chance to make trade without hitting stop loss
in this indicator we are using Forex market session indicator to get session range start to end ..this indicator will only search opportunity in London And New York Session range and that can be customize from input section . user can select time zone and time of session from input section indicator and color of session .
next indicator using 200 length Exponential Moving Average for trend identification .if close price is above 200 Ema means trend is upside moving & if close price is below 200 Ema means price is moving downside .user can change length and source of Ema from input section .
Third and most important part is volume indicator when a session start (Example-London session it keep Look back 6 previous candle and compare volume imbalance between look back candle .look back candle can be customize from input section default look back candle input is (6).
next we are using trade range time to only show trade on certain time because often market convert into trading range so given specific input time it only take trade when volume and price is rising or falling .time range can be selected from input section .
Trade Entry Buy Signal -if price is either London or New York session and price is above 200 Ema and volume not in imbalance last number of candle it give Feb (first entry buy ) we keep save high price of every candle after Feb (label ) signal .if any candle break above Feb label it show a confirm buy signal ..Below in example as we can see
Example Image Buy Signal -
in this above example step -1 we searching imbalance of volume and price as we can see imbalance of volume and price on green candle .next we look price is above 200 ema .next step(2) we got Feb (first entry buy ) signal this is not a confirm buy signal .we save high of candle next candle high close above previous candle high we got confirm buy signal .
Trade Entry Sell Signal - if price is either London or New York session and price is below 200 Ema and volume not in imbalance last number of candle it give Feb (first entry Sell ) we keep save low price of every candle after Fes (label ) signal .if any candle break below Fes label it show a confirm sell signal ..Below in example as we can see
step-1 starting of london session we start getting imbalance between price and volume .price is getting rejected but volume is rising on green candle we got fes (first entry sell signal ).next we save low of fes candle but price close above that low of candle we dont get confirm sell entry next price break below low of previous candle so open a new sell signal ..
Example 3 - No Confirm buy/sell Signal
In this above Image example we did not get any confirm signal...we got first entry buy signal but price did not close high of candle in london session .so that day chance price can go any side ..
Example 4 -Feb signal and later confirm buy entry
in this above example we got imbalance of volume and feb(first entry buy signal) but we dont get any confirm buy signal price is just going high then previous candle ..later we see price crossover high of previous candle we got confirm buy signal
Use Of Indicator - This indicator helps traders identify potential trade setups by signaling the first entry points and confirming them later. It's particularly useful for avoiding getting caught in price rotations and aligning trades with significant volume and price movements. Traders should analyze price action and news before confirming a trade.
BORSA 321 - HTF Volume Delta Highlighter Overview
HTF Volume Delta Highlighter is a multi-timeframe tool that builds a compact higher-timeframe (HTF) candle panel on the right side of your chart and injects volume delta, fair value gaps (FVG) and volume imbalance (VI) directly into those candles.
Instead of constantly switching charts, you see:
Where buy vs sell volume is dominating on HTF
Which HTF candles left inefficiencies (FVG / VI)
Key open / high / low / close levels projected back onto your current timeframe
How much time is left for each HTF candle to close
All of this lives visually on your current chart, making it perfect for scalpers and intraday traders who rely on higher-timeframe context.
What It Shows
For up to six higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W), the indicator plots:
1. HTF Candle Panel on the Right
Each HTF is drawn as a mini candle strip to the right of price.
You can control:
How many candles per HTF to display
Space between candles
Space between timeframes
Overall offset from current price
This creates a clean HTF “dashboard” without touching your main candles.
2. Volume Delta Inside Each HTF Candle
When delta mode is enabled:
Each HTF candle body is split into:
Buy volume segment (green)
Sell volume segment (red)
The split is proportional to cumulative buy vs sell volume across the entire HTF period.
Optionally, the delta value itself (buy volume − sell volume) is printed:
Positive delta inside the buy segment
Negative delta inside the sell segment
This gives a visual and numeric read of who is in control on that higher timeframe.
3. HTF Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Within each HTF strip, the script detects and highlights fair value gaps:
Bullish FVG: shaded with a green tone, optionally labeled FVG+
Bearish FVG: shaded with a red tone, optionally labeled FVG-
A line is also drawn through the midpoint of the FVG zone.
These zones quickly show where price left inefficiencies on the higher timeframe that may act as magnets or reaction levels.
4. Volume Imbalance (VI) Zones
Between consecutive HTF candles, the script also marks volume imbalance zones:
Bullish VI zones shaded green (VI+)
Bearish VI zones shaded red (VI-)
These highlight thin or aggressively traded areas that often attract future interaction.
5. Trace Lines Back to Your Main Chart
From the most recent HTF candles, the indicator can project horizontal trace lines:
From Open, High, Low, Close of the monitored HTF candle
With separate styling for each (color, line style, width)
Optional price labels at the right edge for each level
You can choose whether these traces are anchored to the first selected timeframe or the last timeframe, giving you flexibility in what levels matter most.
6. Timeframe & Timer Labels
For each HTF strip, the indicator can show:
Timeframe label (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
Countdown timer for the current HTF candle (time remaining until close)
Labels can appear at the top, bottom, or both ends of the HTF panel.
You can choose whether labels align across all HTFs or follow each strip’s own high/low.
7. Custom Daily Session Handling
For the daily timeframe, you can override the default daily open to match your session preference:
Midnight (standard calendar day)
08:30 New York time
09:30 New York time
The script then treats that custom time as the start of your “daily” candle — useful for traders who sync with cash session opens.
8. Day of Week Labels (For Daily)
On daily HTF candles, you can optionally print a day-of-week letter above the candle:
M, T, W, T, F, S, S
This gives a quick sense of where in the week the current candle sits.
Key Inputs & Customization
HTF 1–6 Enable & Timeframe
Turn each HTF strip on/off
Set timeframe (5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, etc.)
Choose how many candles per HTF to display
Max Sets
Limit how many HTFs are shown at once (e.g., only next 3 HTFs).
Styling
Body, border, and wick colors for bullish and bearish candles
Candle width, spacing, and panel offset
Label colors and sizes
Delta Settings
Toggle delta mode on/off
Toggle delta values text inside candles
Imbalance Settings
Toggle FVG on/off, with bullish/bearish colors, labels
Toggle Volume Imbalance on/off, with bullish/bearish colors, labels
Control label text size
Trace Settings
Turn trace lines on/off
Customize style, color, and thickness for O/H/L/C
Choose whether to anchor traces to the first or last timeframe
Label & Timer Settings
Enable/disable HTF labels and timers
Choose label position: Top / Bottom / Both
Alignment mode: Align all strips or Follow Candles
If the chosen HTF isn’t valid for the current chart (not a proper multiple or too low), the script will show a clear on-chart message telling you to increase your chart timeframe to match the selected HTF requirements.
How It Helps Traders
Scalpers & intraday traders can stay on their low timeframe (e.g., 1m / 3m / 5m) while still seeing:
Where HTF buy/sell volume is dominant
Which HTF candles left inefficiencies that may later act as magnets or rejection zones
The exact HTF O/H/L/C levels currently active
How much time remains before the HTF bar closes (key for timing entries around closes).
Swing traders can use it to track daily and weekly HTF structure and delta while drilling down to lower timeframes for precise execution.
Market Profile Dominance Analyzer# Market Profile Dominance Analyzer
## 📊 OVERVIEW
**Market Profile Dominance Analyzer** is an advanced multi-factor indicator that combines Market Profile methodology with composite dominance scoring to identify buyer and seller strength across higher timeframes. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that only show volume distribution, or simple buyer/seller indicators that only compare candle colors, this script integrates six distinct analytical components into a unified dominance measurement system.
This indicator helps traders understand **WHO controls the market** by analyzing price position relative to Market Profile key levels (POC, Value Area) combined with volume distribution, momentum, and trend characteristics.
## 🎯 WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL
### **Hybrid Analytical Approach**
This indicator uniquely combines two separate methodologies that are typically analyzed independently:
1. **Market Profile Analysis** - Calculates Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) using volume distribution across price channels on higher timeframes
2. **Multi-Factor Dominance Scoring** - Weights six independent factors to produce a composite dominance index
### **Six-Factor Composite Analysis**
The dominance score integrates:
- Price position relative to POC (equilibrium assessment)
- Price position relative to Value Area boundaries (acceptance/rejection zones)
- Volume imbalance within Value Area (institutional bias detection)
- Price momentum (directional strength)
- Volume trend comparison (participation analysis)
- Normalized Value Area position (precise location within fair value zone)
### **Adaptive Higher Timeframe Integration**
The script features an intelligent auto-selection system that automatically chooses appropriate higher timeframes based on the current chart period, ensuring optimal Market Profile structure regardless of the trading timeframe being analyzed.
## 💡 HOW IT WORKS
### **Market Profile Construction**
The indicator builds a Market Profile structure on a higher timeframe by:
1. **Session Identification** - Detects new higher timeframe sessions using `request.security()` to ensure accurate period boundaries
2. **Data Accumulation** - Stores high, low, and volume data for all bars within the current higher timeframe session
3. **Channel Distribution** - Divides the session's price range into configurable channels (default: 20 rows)
4. **Volume Mapping** - Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across all price channels it touched
### **Key Level Calculation**
**Point of Control (POC)**
- Identifies the price channel with the highest accumulated volume
- Represents the price level where the most trading activity occurred
- Serves as a magnetic level where price often returns
**Value Area (VA)**
- Starts at POC and expands both upward and downward
- Includes channels until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default: 70%)
- Expansion algorithm compares adjacent volumes and prioritizes the direction with higher activity
- Defines the "fair value" zone where most market participants agreed to trade
### **Dominance Score Formula**
```
Dominance Score = (price_vs_poc × 10) +
(price_vs_va × 5) +
(volume_imbalance × 0.5) +
(price_momentum × 100) +
(volume_trend × 5) +
(va_position × 15)
```
**Component Breakdown:**
- **price_vs_poc**: +1 if above POC, -1 if below (shows which side of equilibrium)
- **price_vs_va**: +2 if above VAH, -2 if below VAL, 0 if inside VA
- **volume_imbalance**: Percentage difference between upper and lower VA volumes
- **price_momentum**: 5-period SMA of price change (directional acceleration)
- **volume_trend**: Compares 5-period vs 20-period volume averages
- **va_position**: Normalized position within Value Area (-1 to +1)
The composite score is then smoothed using EMA with configurable sensitivity to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness.
### **Market State Determination**
- **BUYERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance > +10 (bullish control)
- **SELLERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance < -10 (bearish control)
- **NEUTRAL**: Between -10 and +10 (balanced market)
## 📈 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### **Trend Identification**
- **Green background** indicates buyers are in control - look for long opportunities
- **Red background** indicates sellers are in control - look for short opportunities
- **Gray background** indicates neutral market - consider range-bound strategies
### **Signal Interpretation**
**Buy Signals** (green triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses above -10 from oversold conditions
- Previous state was not already bullish
- Suggests shift from seller to buyer control
**Sell Signals** (red triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses below +10 from overbought conditions
- Previous state was not already bearish
- Suggests shift from buyer to seller control
### **Value Area Context**
Monitor the information table (top-right) to understand market structure:
- **Price vs POC**: Shows if trading above/below equilibrium
- **Volume Imbalance**: Positive values favor buyers, negative favors sellers
- **Market State**: Current dominant force (BUYERS/SELLERS/NEUTRAL)
### **Multi-Timeframe Strategy**
The auto-timeframe feature analyzes higher timeframe structure:
- On 1-minute charts → analyzes 2-hour structure
- On 5-minute charts → analyzes Daily structure
- On 15-minute charts → analyzes Weekly structure
- On Daily charts → analyzes Yearly structure
This higher timeframe context helps avoid counter-trend trades against the dominant force.
### **Confluence Trading**
Strongest signals occur when multiple factors align:
1. Price above VAH + positive volume imbalance + buyers dominant = Strong bullish setup
2. Price below VAL + negative volume imbalance + sellers dominant = Strong bearish setup
3. Price at POC + neutral state = Potential breakout/breakdown pivot
## ⚙️ INPUT PARAMETERS
- **Higher Time Frame**: Select specific HTF or use 'Auto' for intelligent selection
- **Value Area %**: Percentage of volume contained in VA (default: 70%)
- **Show Buy/Sell Signals**: Toggle signal triangles visibility
- **Show Dominance Histogram**: Toggle histogram display
- **Signal Sensitivity**: EMA period for dominance smoothing (1-20, default: 5)
- **Number of Channels**: Market Profile resolution (10-50, default: 20)
- **Color Settings**: Customize buyer, seller, and neutral colors
## 🎨 VISUAL ELEMENTS
- **Histogram**: Shows smoothed dominance score (green = buyers, red = sellers)
- **Zero Line**: Neutral equilibrium reference
- **Overbought/Oversold Lines**: ±50 levels marking extreme dominance
- **Background Color**: Highlights current market state
- **Information Table**: Displays key metrics (state, dominance, POC relationship, volume imbalance, timeframe, bars in session, total volume)
- **Signal Shapes**: Triangle markers for buy/sell signals
## 🔔 ALERTS
The indicator includes three alert conditions:
1. **Buyers Dominate** - Fires on buy signal crossovers
2. **Sellers Dominate** - Fires on sell signal crossovers
3. **Dominance Shift** - Fires when dominance crosses zero line
## 📊 BEST PRACTICES
### **Timeframe Selection**
- **Scalping (1-5min)**: Focus on 2H-4H dominance shifts
- **Day Trading (15-60min)**: Monitor Daily and Weekly structure
- **Swing Trading (4H-Daily)**: Track Weekly and Monthly dominance
### **Confirmation Strategies**
1. **Trend Following**: Enter in direction of dominance above/below ±20
2. **Reversal Trading**: Fade extreme readings beyond ±50 when diverging with price
3. **Breakout Trading**: Look for dominance expansion beyond ±30 with increasing volume
### **Risk Management**
- Avoid trading during NEUTRAL states (dominance between -10 and +10)
- Use POC levels as logical stop-loss placement
- Consider VAH/VAL as profit targets for mean reversion
## ⚠️ LIMITATIONS & WARNINGS
**Data Requirements**
- Requires sufficient historical data on current chart (minimum 100 bars recommended)
- Lower timeframes may show fewer bars per HTF session initially
- More accurate results after several complete HTF sessions have formed
**Not a Standalone System**
- This indicator analyzes market structure and participant control
- Should be combined with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
- Does not guarantee profitable trades - past dominance does not predict future results
**Repainting Characteristics**
- Higher timeframe levels (POC, VAH, VAL) update as new bars form within the session
- Dominance score recalculates with each new bar
- Historical signals remain fixed, but current session data is developing
**Volume Limitations**
- Uses exchange-provided volume data which varies by instrument type
- Forex and some CFDs use tick volume (not actual transaction volume)
- Most accurate on instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
## 🔍 TECHNICAL NOTES
**Performance Optimization**
- Uses `max_bars_back=5000` for extended historical analysis
- Efficient array management prevents memory issues
- Automatic cleanup of session data on new period
**Calculation Method**
- Market Profile uses actual volume distribution, not TPO (Time Price Opportunity)
- Value Area expansion follows traditional Market Profile auction theory
- All calculations occur on the chart's current symbol and timeframe
## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator helps traders understand:
- How institutional traders use Market Profile to identify fair value

Entry (MTF) - Three phase Reversal patternOf course. We can absolutely reframe the explanation to give the strategy a more unique or generalized name, focusing on the concepts rather than the specific mentor.
Here is a revised, in-depth guide for your "Entry(MTF)" indicator, presented as the **"Momentum Shift Entry Model."**
***
### Entry (MTF) Indicator: A Guide to the Momentum Shift Model
This powerful indicator is designed to automatically detect a high-probability **Momentum Shift Entry Pattern**. The core strategy is to identify moments where the market's direction is likely to make a significant and sustained reversal, often driven by institutional order flow.
The indicator's key advantage is its **Multi-Timeframe (MTF)** functionality. It allows you to find these robust setups on a higher timeframe (like the daily chart) and then projects those signals onto your active, lower timeframe chart (like the 15-minute), providing a clear strategic edge for timing your entries.
---
## The Core Logic: The Three-Phase Reversal Pattern
This indicator is not based on a simple lagging condition. It looks for a specific three-step sequence of events. This sequence validates a genuine shift in market control from sellers to buyers (or vice-versa), filtering out false moves.
### Step 1: The Liquidity Purge 🎯
First, the indicator identifies recent, significant swing highs and lows on the chart. These price levels are natural magnets for liquidity, as many traders place their stop-loss orders there.
* **A Bullish Setup** begins when the price first dips **below a recent swing low**. This action is often an engineered move to "purge" or "sweep" the sell-side liquidity resting there before a move higher.
* **A Bearish Setup** begins with a price spike **above a recent swing high**, clearing out the buy-side liquidity.
This initial phase is designed to trap traders on the wrong side of the market before the true move begins.
### Step 2: The Market Structure Shift (The Confirmation) 🔄
After the liquidity has been taken, the indicator needs confirmation that a real power shift has occurred. This is confirmed by a **Market Structure Shift (MSS)**.
* After a **bullish purge (of a low)**, an MSS is confirmed when the price aggressively rallies and closes **above a recent swing *high***. This proves that buyers have not only absorbed all the selling but are now strong enough to break previous resistance levels.
* After a **bearish purge (of a high)**, an MSS is confirmed when the price falls and closes **below a recent swing *low***, showing that sellers are now decisively in command.
### Step 3: The Price Imbalance (The Entry Zone) GAP) is created during the same powerful move that caused the Market Structure Shift. A Fair Value Gap, or **price imbalance**, is a three-candle pattern that signifies a very aggressive, one-sided move, leaving a gap in the market that price will often seek to re-fill.
This FVG acts as the signature of institutional activity and becomes a high-probability zone for planning a trade entry.

## How to Use the Indicator in Your Trading
The true strength of this indicator lies in combining the higher-timeframe signal with the immediate context of your trading timeframe.
### Reading the Signals and Visuals
* **`BUY` / `SELL` Labels:** These are your primary signals, generated from the **"Signal Timeframe"** you select (e.g., Daily). A "BUY" label indicates that the complete three-phase bullish pattern has been confirmed on that higher timeframe.
* **Dotted Lines (Liquidity Levels):** The red and green dotted lines on your chart mark the most recent swing high and low on your **current timeframe**. These are the levels to watch for a potential "Liquidity Purge."
* **Colored Boxes (Imbalance Zones):** The green (bullish) and red (bearish) boxes highlight the Fair Value Gaps on your **current timeframe**. These are your potential entry zones.
### A Potential Trading Strategy
1. **Set Your Signal Timeframe:** Choose a higher timeframe that you use to define the overall trend (e.g., 'D' for daily, '4H' for 4-hour).
2. **Wait for an HTF Signal:** Patiently wait for a `BUY` or `SELL` label to appear. This is your cue to begin actively looking for an entry.
3. **Find a Local Entry Zone:** Once a `BUY` signal from the higher timeframe appears, look for the price on your current chart to retrace into a nearby **bullish FVG (green box)**. For a `SELL` signal, look for a pullback into a **bearish FVG (red box)**.
4. **Entry:** Plan your entry as the price tests this imbalance zone.
5. **Stop Loss:** A logical stop loss is critical. For a buy trade, place your stop below the swing low that was formed during the MSS. For a sell trade, place it above the corresponding swing high.
6. **Take Profit:** Aim for a significant liquidity level on a higher timeframe or use a predetermined risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2, 1:3).
---
## Customizing the Settings
* **`Signal Timeframe`**: The most critical setting. It determines the timeframe from which the core buy/sell logic originates. A Daily signal will carry more weight than an H1 signal.
* **`Liquidity/MSS Lookback`**: This controls the significance of the swing points the indicator uses.
* **Higher value:** Finds major, long-term swing points, leading to fewer but more powerful signals.
* **Lower value:** Finds minor, short-term swing points, leading to more frequent but potentially less reliable signals.
* **`Show Current TF Fair Value Gaps`**: This toggles the visibility of the imbalance zones (FVG boxes) on your chart. It is highly recommended to keep this enabled to easily spot your entry areas.

TradeRaven — VWAP Auto Trend Signal Pro)TradeRaven — VWAP Auto Trend Signal Pro
A next-gen VWAP signal engine built for traders who want speed, accuracy, and true institutional clarity — without needing footprint charts or high-end orderflow tools.
This indicator reads what the market is actually doing and classifies every major behavioural shift into instantly recognisable signal states.
What Makes This Tool Different
Most indicators respond after the move.
This one responds to the behaviour that creates the move.
It interprets the real internal pressure behind each candle —
expansion, contraction, absorption, imbalance, continuation —
and instantly classifies the bar into:
CON — Trend Continuation
REV — Mean Reversion
IGN — Ignition
MON — Monster Displacement
EXH — Exhaustion / Absorption
These aren’t random technical alerts.
They are behavioural state transitions, the same shifts professional traders watch when evaluating momentum, failure, and opportunity.
This is why it feels unusually accurate:
it doesn’t chase price — it reads intention.
Universal Engine — Built for Every Market
Because the model is based on structural behaviour around VWAP, not fixed pattern recognition, it adapts seamlessly across a range of instruments
And it works on:
1–5m scalping
Intra-session day trading
Higher timeframe swing structure
If a market has candles, VWAP, and volume,
the engine knows how to classify the move.
Why VWAP Is the Perfect Anchor
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price — average price weighted by traded volume) is the institutional benchmark for execution and session fairness.
VWAP gives you the map:
Near VWAP → equilibrium (fair value)
Far from VWAP → imbalance (opportunity or risk)
Return to VWAP → reversion / rebalance
Acceleration away → genuine trend commitment
This engine measures how price interacts with that fair-value line and translates the interaction into clear, tradable insights.
VWAP defines the environment.
The engine defines the behaviour.
How the Engine Interprets the Market
Every signal is the result of multi-layer behavioural reading.
The system evaluates:
Trend alignment & slope strength
Compression vs extension from fair value
Expansion velocity (how fast energy is released)
Volatility regime & session volume
Imbalance pressure
Wick rejection at extremes
Structural displacement patterns
This is what gives the signals depth.
They aren’t triggered by simple crossovers.
They only fire when the market shows a true change in internal state.
That’s why the signals feel “alive.”
Sensitivity Modes
Aggressive — fast profiling, more signals
Balanced — the clean default
Sniper — ultra-filtered, higher conviction
These modes shift behavioural thresholds depending on volatility and trend maturity, letting you tailor the tool to your execution style.
Session Filters
Choose the sessions you want the engine active in:
Asia
London
New York
This locks signals to genuine volatility windows instead of low-efficiency zones.
How Traders Use It
1. Start with VWAP Slope
The slope defines the environment:
Upward → pro-trend bias
Downward → sell-side bias
Flat → rotational or mean-reversion conditions
This alone filters most bad trades.
2. Read the Signals as Market Narrative
CON + IGN → Expansion
Ideal for continuation plays and momentum entries.
REV + EXH → Rotation
Perfect for spotting early reversions, failed highs/lows, and areas to reduce risk.
MON → Major Legs
These bars define the session and often mark liquidity breaks or displacement shifts.
You’re not trading signals —
you’re trading the story they reveal.
3. Combine It With Your Own Edge
The engine is designed to enhance:
Orderflow
CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta — measures net aggressive buyers/sellers)
Delta footprint
Market structure
Liquidity plays
Price action scalping
Think of it as orderflow-style clarity
without needing orderflow software.
Why This is a Game Changer
it turns chaos into structure.
it updates instantly.
it shows intention where most indicators show noise.
it helps you understand why the market moves — not just when.
This isn't a traditional “indicator.”
It’s a behavioural engine that maps strength, imbalance, exhaustion, and true momentum in a way that mirrors institutional reading.
In the right hands,
it becomes one of the cleanest, most accurate timing tools you’ll ever use.

Displacement Pulse Markers - sudoThis indicator is designed to highlight sudden and meaningful bursts of price movement. These bursts are called displacement pulses. A pulse appears when price expands with force, closes near the extreme of its own bar, and breaks through a recent structural level. The indicator places small circles above or below the candle to signal these moments so that traders can quickly spot abnormal movement and potential shifts in market intent.
How it works
The indicator evaluates each bar for three conditions:
Range expansion relative to volatility
The bar must be larger than normal. It compares the bar range to ATR and requires that range to exceed a multiple of ATR. When this condition is met, the bar is considered a large or forceful bar.
Close location within the bar
The bar has to close near its own high or low. A close near the top suggests strong buying force. A close near the bottom suggests strong selling force. The user can adjust what percentage qualifies as near the top or bottom.
Break of recent structure
The bar must break a recent pivot level. For bullish pulses, the high of the bar must exceed the highest high of the past N bars. For bearish pulses, the low must break the lowest low of the past N bars. This confirms that the move did not merely expand but actually displaced prior structure.
When all conditions align
A bullish displacement pulse is marked with a small aqua circle below the bar.
A bearish displacement pulse is marked with a fuchsia circle above the bar.
The result is a clean on chart visualization of where price produced meaningful displacement.
How traders can use this
Spot abnormal momentum
Pulses can highlight areas where price behaves with more force than usual. These events often appear around news, liquidity sweeps, or algorithmic shifts.
Identify possible regime changes
A pulse that breaks structure while closing near the extreme may signal a transition from a ranging environment to a trending one. It does not predict direction but flags where displacement actually occurred.
Support narrative building
When combined with levels, zones, or other frameworks, pulses can confirm whether the market had enough strength to break through an area with conviction.
Filter trades or refine entries
Some traders may choose to trade in the direction of recent pulses during trending conditions. Others may only enter a trade after a pulse confirms that the market has shifted away from compression.
Track where the market is imbalanced
A pulse visually marks whether buyers or sellers were able to generate strong initiative movement. These points often become useful reference zones for continuation or rejection analysis.
Why this indicator is useful
It reduces complex logic into simple visual markers. Instead of scanning bar by bar for structural breaks, volatility expansions, and close strength, the indicator does this automatically and highlights only the bars that meet all criteria. This keeps the chart clean while still providing precision about where displacement actually occurred.
