Synthetic Liquidity HeatmapSYNTHETIC LIQUIDITY HEATMAP (SLH) v1.0
---
DESCRIPTION
The Synthetic Liquidity Heatmap (SLH) is an advanced statistical order book estimation tool that generates a visual representation of probable liquidity zones without requiring direct access to Level 2 market data. By analyzing price action, volume dynamics, and market microstructure patterns, SLH constructs a synthetic approximation of where institutional orders are likely concentrated.
---
KEY INNOVATIONS
1. CHL SPREAD MODEL (Close-High-Low)
Implements a logarithmic spread estimation model based on the relationship between close price and the high-low midrange. This microstructure approach captures the implicit bid-ask spread behavior embedded in OHLC data, providing insight into market maker activity and order flow imbalances.
2. VSA INTEGRATION (Volume Spread Analysis)
Optional Volume Spread Analysis mode weighs liquidity calculations by the product of volume and candle range. This identifies bars with significant effort (volume) relative to result (price movement), highlighting potential accumulation and distribution zones.
3. DYNAMIC LEVEL SPACING
Liquidity levels are spaced using ATR-based calculations, automatically adapting to current market volatility. This ensures relevant level placement across different instruments and timeframes without manual adjustment.
4. ACCUMULATIVE LIQUIDITY TRACKING
When price revisits the same level multiple times, contracts accumulate rather than creating duplicate zones. This mimics real order book behavior where resting orders stack at key price levels.
5. REAL-TIME HIT DETECTION
The system monitors when price reaches liquidity levels, terminating filled zones and maintaining only active resting liquidity. This provides a dynamic, evolving view of the synthetic order book.
---
MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The CHL Spread Model is defined as:
CHL = √(4 × (ln(C) - M) × (ln(C) - M ))
Where:
- C is the closing price
- M = (ln(H) + ln(L)) / 2 is the log midrange
- M is the previous bar's log midrange
The State Factor adjusts liquidity intensity:
State Factor = max(0.2, 1.0 - (Z_spread × 0.15))
Where Z_spread is the z-score of the current spread relative to its moving average.
Liquidity distribution follows close position analysis:
Bid Strength = is_bullish ? (1 - close_position) × 0.7 + 0.3 : close_position × 0.7 + 0.3
Ask Strength = is_bullish ? close_position × 0.7 + 0.3 : (1 - close_position) × 0.7 + 0.3
---
APPLICATIONS
- Identify probable support and resistance zones based on synthetic order flow
- Visualize where institutional liquidity may be resting
- Anticipate potential reversal or breakout zones
- Complement existing Level 2 data with statistical estimation
- Analyze liquidity dynamics on instruments without accessible order book data
---
VISUAL REPRESENTATION
The heatmap displays:
- Green zones (Bids): Probable buy-side liquidity below current price
- Orange zones (Asks): Probable sell-side liquidity above current price
- Color intensity: Proportional to estimated contract concentration
- Level termination: Zones disappear when price "fills" the liquidity

Volume Delta + Bandas de Bollinger📊 Volume Delta + Bollinger Bands Indicator
Characteristics
• Volume Delta Histogram
• Shows the difference between buying and selling pressure.
• Green bars indicate positive delta (buyers dominating).
• Red bars indicate negative delta (sellers dominating).
• The histogram oscillates around the zero line, which represents balance between buyers and sellers.
• Bollinger Bands applied to Delta
• A moving average (basis line) of the delta is calculated.
• Upper and lower bands are plotted using standard deviation.
• These bands highlight periods when the delta moves to statistically extreme levels.
• Helps identify unusual buying or selling pressure compared to recent history.
• Zero Line Reference
• A horizontal line at zero shows equilibrium.
• Crossing above zero suggests net buying pressure.
• Crossing below zero suggests net selling pressure.
How to Use
• Identify Buyer/Seller Dominance
• Green histogram bars above zero → buyers are stronger.
• Red histogram bars below zero → sellers are stronger.
• Spot Extremes with Bollinger Bands
• When delta touches or exceeds the upper band, it signals unusually strong buying pressure.
• When delta touches or exceeds the lower band, it signals unusually strong selling pressure.
• These extremes can precede reversals or mark continuation if confirmed by price action.
• Combine with Price Analysis
• Use delta signals together with price trends and support/resistance levels.
• For example, if price is at resistance and delta spikes into the upper band, it may indicate exhaustion of buyers.
• If price is at support and delta spikes into the lower band, it may indicate exhaustion of sellers.
• Trading Strategy Ideas
• Reversal setups: Look for delta extremes against key price levels.
• Trend confirmation: Sustained delta above zero supports bullish trends; sustained delta below zero supports bearish trends.
• Volatility filter: Bollinger Bands help filter out normal fluctuations and highlight significant imbalances.
👉 In short, this indicator combines order flow pressure (delta) with volatility context (Bollinger Bands), making it useful for spotting moments when buying or selling activity becomes unusually strong compared to recent history.
Breakaway Gaps## Breakaway Gaps — Multi-Method Gap & Imbalance Mapping Tool
**Overview**
Breakaway Gaps is a gap-mapping tool designed to highlight areas where price has displaced rapidly and left potential imbalance zones on the chart. It blends multiple detection techniques into one framework, allowing traders to monitor different styles of “breakaway” behavior without clutter or manual drawing.
---
### What the script provides
- **Gap & imbalance zone detection** — identifies areas where price has moved quickly and may have left inefficiencies behind.
- **Breakaway zones** — highlights areas created by strong directional movement or structural shifts in price.
- **Automatic zone management** — highlighted areas extend forward and are removed once price interacts with them, keeping the chart clean.
- **Adjustable behavior** — all major parameters can be tuned: sensitivity, lookback length, displacement thresholds, color themes, and the number of displayed zones.
---
### Why this tool is useful
- Captures different forms of breakaway conditions in a single indicator.
- Helps traders visualize zones that may act as future reaction points, liquidity magnets, or reference areas.
- Designed to keep the chart clean by automatically maintaining and updating all zones.
- Flexible enough to support both discretionary and systematic styles.
---
### What it does *not* do
- Does **not** generate trade signals, entries, exits, stop levels, or position direction.
- Does not predict outcomes or guarantee that any highlighted zone will be respected or filled.
- Should be used as a contextual tool alongside your own analysis and risk management.
---
### Suggested applications
- Identifying potential retracement targets after strong moves
- Marking areas where liquidity may rest or where price may rebalance
- Supporting market structure, breakout, or liquidity-based trading frameworks
- Higher-timeframe context zones combined with lower-timeframe execution
---
### Customization
The tool offers full user control over sensitivity, zoning behavior, highlight style, and display limits, so traders can adapt it to different markets and timeframes.

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

Advanced Delta Trading System ProAdvanced Delta Trading System Pro
Overview
This indicator is an advanced order flow analysis tool that combines Delta Volume Analysis, Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), Multi-Timeframe Trend Confirmation, and Volume Profile Zones to identify high-probability trading opportunities based on institutional buying and selling pressure.
🔍 Core Concepts & Methodology
1. Range-Weighted Delta Calculation (Original Implementation)
Unlike basic delta indicators that simply subtract selling volume from buying volume, this script uses a range-weighted approach:
Range Weight = |Price Movement| / Candle Range
Bar Delta = Volume × Direction × Range Weight
Why this matters:
Accounts for intra-bar price action strength
Provides more accurate representation of directional conviction
Filters out low-conviction volume during ranging periods
2. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with Momentum
The script calculates CVD by accumulating bar deltas and applies:
EMA smoothing to reduce noise (adjustable period)
Delta Momentum indicator: Measures the rate of change of delta relative to its average
CVD Slope detection: Identifies accumulation/distribution phases
Formula:
Delta Momentum = Current Absolute Delta / Average Absolute Delta
This normalized momentum metric helps filter low-conviction signals.
3. Multi-Timeframe CVD Confluence (Unique Feature)
The indicator pulls CVD trend data from a higher timeframe (default: 15min) to:
Confirm signals only when aligned with HTF institutional flow
Display HTF bias in the dashboard (Bull ▲ / Bear ▼ / Neutral)
Prevent counter-trend trades against larger timeframe momentum
Edge: Many delta indicators operate on single timeframes; this multi-timeframe approach significantly reduces false signals.
4. Volume Profile Zone Detection
Instead of static support/resistance, the script dynamically identifies:
High Volume Nodes (HVN): Areas with 1.5x above-average volume - potential magnets/reversal zones
Low Volume Nodes (LVN): Areas with <0.5x average volume - breakout zones with minimal resistance
These zones are visualized as semi-transparent boxes on the chart, updated in real-time.
5. Delta-CVD Divergence Detection
The script identifies:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while CVD makes higher low (accumulation)
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while CVD makes lower high (distribution)
Uses pivot detection with adjustable lookback periods and draws divergence lines automatically.
🎯 Signal Generation Logic
Buy Signal Requirements:
Bar delta exceeds threshold (Average Delta × Imbalance Multiplier)
Delta momentum ≥ minimum threshold (default: 1.2)
CVD slope is positive (accumulation phase)
Higher timeframe CVD is bullish (if MTF enabled)
Candle closes green (price confirmation)
Sell Signal Requirements:
Same criteria but inverted for selling pressure.
Enhanced Signals:
Signals are strengthened when accompanied by divergences, combining immediate imbalance with underlying accumulation/distribution patterns.
📊 Visual Features
1. Intelligent Candle Coloring
Color intensity based on delta momentum (0-3 scale)
Lime: Strong buying | Red: Strong selling | Gray: Neutral
Helps quickly identify conviction behind price moves
2. Delta Labels
Optional labels showing exact delta values (in thousands for readability)
Adjustable frequency (every Nth bar)
Color-coded by strength
3. Real-Time Dashboard
Displays:
Current bar delta
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
Delta momentum reading
Higher timeframe bias
Active signals and divergences
⚙️ Customization Options
Delta Settings:
CVD Smoothing: Controls EMA period for CVD line
Avg Delta Length: Lookback for delta average calculation
Delta Momentum Period: Smoothing for momentum indicator
Signal Filters:
Imbalance Multiplier: Threshold for signal generation (higher = fewer, stronger signals)
CVD Confluence: Require/disable CVD trend alignment
Min Momentum: Filter weak signals below threshold
Volume Zones:
Lookback Period: Bars analyzed for HVN/LVN detection
Max Zone Boxes: Limit visual clutter
Toggle HVN/LVN independently
Multi-Timeframe:
Select any higher timeframe for CVD analysis
HTF Bias Panel: Show/hide dashboard element
🔔 Alert Conditions
Long/Short Signals: Fires when all confluence conditions met
Divergence Alerts: Bullish/Bearish divergence detected
Extreme Momentum: Delta momentum exceeds 2.5× average
HTF Trend Change: Higher timeframe CVD reverses
💡 How to Use
For Scalping:
Use 1-5min charts with 15min HTF confirmation
Focus on extreme momentum alerts (>2.5×)
Enter on signals near HVN zones for better R:R
For Swing Trading:
Use 15min-1H charts with 4H HTF confirmation
Wait for divergences + signal confluence
Avoid LVN zones (price likely to slice through)
Volume Profile Strategy:
Buy at HVN support with bullish delta
Sell at HVN resistance with bearish delta
Target LVN zones for breakout trades
🆚 What Makes This Script Unique
Unlike standard delta indicators, this combines:
Range-weighted delta (more accurate than simple volume delta)
Multi-timeframe confirmation (institutional flow alignment)
Dynamic volume profile zones (not static S/R)
Momentum-filtered signals (reduces noise significantly)
Divergence integration (catches reversals early)
Compared to free alternatives: Most delta scripts show raw cumulative delta without momentum filtering, MTF analysis, or volume profile integration. This script provides a complete order flow analysis system in one indicator.
⚠️ Important Notes
Not a standalone system: Use with price action and market structure
Optimize settings per asset: Crypto needs different settings than forex/stocks
Higher timeframes = more reliable: Reduce noise on lower timeframes with longer smoothing
Volume quality matters: Works best on high-liquidity assets with accurate volume data
📈 Best Timeframes
Scalping: 1m-5m (with 15m HTF)
Day Trading: 5m-15m (with 1H HTF)
Swing Trading: 1H-4H (with D HTF)
This indicator is designed for traders who understand order flow concepts and want a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to delta analysis beyond basic cumulative volume delta indicators.

- Impulse candle has strong body (≥ 70%)
- Impulse candle is 1.5x average range
- Volume above average on impulse
- Created during active session
### Zone States
1. **Fresh** (bright color) - Just created, untested
2. **Tested** (gray) - Price touched zone midpoint
3. **Broken** (removed) - Price closed through zone
### Trading FVG Zones
| Zone | Approach From | Expected |
|------|--------------|----------|
| 🟩 Bull | Above (falling) | Support - look for bounce |

---
## 🟣 SINGLE PRINTS
Single prints mark candles with:
- Range > 1.3x average
- Body > 70% of range
- Volume > 1.8x average
- Clear delta dominance
These become horizontal support/resistance lines extending into the future.

Session Markers - JDK AnalysisSession Markers is a tool designed to study how markets behave during specific, recurring time windows. Many traders know that price behaves differently depending on the day of the week, the time of the day, or particular market sessions such as the weekly open, the London session, or the New York open. This indicator makes those recurring windows visible on the chart and then analyzes what price typically does inside them. The result is a clear statistical understanding of how a chosen session behaves, both in direction and in strength.
The script works by allowing the trader to define any time window using a start day and time and an end day and time. Every time this window occurs on the chart, the indicator highlights it with a full-height vertical band. These visual markers reveal patterns that are otherwise difficult to detect manually, such as whether certain sessions tend to trend, reverse, consolidate, or create large imbalances. They also help the trader quickly scan through historical price action to see how the market has behaved under similar conditions.
For every completed session window, the indicator measures how much price changed from the moment the window began to the moment it ended. Instead of using raw price differences, it converts these changes into percentage moves. This makes the measurement consistent across different price ranges and market regimes. A one-percent move always has the same meaning, whether the asset is trading at 100 or 50,000. These percentage moves are collected for a user-selected number of past sessions, creating a dataset of how the market has behaved in the chosen time window.
Based on this dataset, the indicator generates several statistics. It counts how many past sessions closed higher and how many closed lower, producing a directional tendency. It also computes the probability of an upward session by dividing the number of positive sessions by the total. More importantly, it calculates the average percentage movement for all sessions in the lookback period. This average move reflects not just the direction but also the magnitude of price changes. A session with frequent small upward moves but occasional large downward moves will show a negative average movement, even if more sessions ended positive. This creates a more realistic representation of true market behavior.
Using this average movement, the script determines a “Bias” for the session. If the average percentage move is positive, the bias is considered bullish. If it is negative, the bias is bearish. If the values are very close to zero, the bias is neutral. This way, the indicator takes both frequency and impact into account, producing a magnitude-aware assessment instead of one that only counts wins and losses. A sequence such as +5%, –1% results in a bullish bias because the overall impact is strongly positive. On the other hand, a series of small gains followed by a large drop produces a bearish bias even if more sessions ended positive, because the large move dominates the average. This provides a far more truthful picture of what the market tends to do during the chosen window.
All relevant statistics are displayed neatly in a small panel in the top-right corner of the chart. The panel updates in real time as new sessions complete and older ones fall out of the lookback range. It shows how many sessions were analyzed, how many ended up or down, the probability of an upward move, the average percentage change, and the final bias. The background color of the panel instantly reflects that bias, making it easy to interpret at a glance.
To use the tool effectively, the trader simply needs to define a time window of interest. This could be something like the weekly opening window from Sunday to Monday, the London open each day, or even a unique custom window. After selecting how many past sessions to analyze, the indicator takes care of the rest. The vertical session markers reveal the structure visually. The statistics summarize the historical behavior objectively. The magnitude-weighted bias provides a realistic indication of whether the window tends to produce upward or downward movement on average.
Session Markers is helpful because it translates repeated market timing behavior into measurable data. It exposes hidden tendencies that are easy to feel intuitively but hard to quantify manually. By analyzing both direction and magnitude, it prevents misleading interpretations that can arise from looking only at win rates. It helps traders understand whether a session typically produces meaningful moves or just small noise, whether it tends to trend or reverse, and whether its behavior has recently changed. Whether used for bias building, session filtering, or deeper market research, it offers a structured framework for understanding the market through time-based patterns.
Sellers vs Buyers 2Pressure Gauges (Custom “Buyer/Seller Pressure” Indicators)
These combine volume, price momentum, and imbalances.
Green bars/lines indicate buying pressure
Red bars/lines indicate selling pressure
Psychological Price Level GBPJPY (.250 / .750)This indicator is designed for GBPJPY traders who work with precision and smart-money-based analysis. It automatically plots psychological price levels at .250 and .750, which are known institutional reference points that often influence market structure, price reactions, and liquidity behavior. Unlike typical round-number indicators, this tool focuses specifically on quarter levels, which are frequently used by algorithms, banks, and experienced institutional traders.
Fixed and Reliable Levels
As price evolves, the levels update automatically and remain fixed on the chart without shifting when you scroll. This ensures that the levels always stay anchored to relevant market structure, making them reliable reference points for planning entries, targets, or stop placements.
Customization
The indicator allows full customization. You can freely adjust the line color, line thickness, and line style to match your personal trading chart layout. You can also choose whether lines extend left, right, or both directions, making the tool flexible enough to fit minimalist or highly marked-up workspaces.
Why These Levels Matter
In smart money trading approaches, the .250 and .750 levels often act as magnetic zones. Price frequently gravitates toward them to test liquidity or engineer traps before continuing its move. These levels may serve as rejection points, breakout confirmation zones, or take-profit areas depending on the broader context. Because they frequently align with order blocks, fair value gaps, and market structure shifts, they can add meaningful confluence to directional bias and trade timing.
Who Can Benefit
This tool is particularly useful for scalpers, day traders, and swing traders who base decisions on liquidity behavior and institutional logic. It works well on any timeframe and complements concepts such as premium and discount models, inefficiencies, fair value gaps, and volume imbalances. Many traders find that these price levels help them identify reactions earlier, refine entries, and improve confidence when executing trades.
Final Note
If this indicator supports your trading workflow, feel free to leave a comment or mark it as a favorite + give it a BOOST . Your feedback helps guide future improvements and ensures the tool continues evolving for serious GBPJPY traders.
Happy trading — and stay precise. 🚀📊
8FigRenko – Precision FVG Zones8FigRenko – Pure FVG Zones is a clean, reliable Fair Value Gap tool designed for traders who want accurate FVG zones only from the chart timeframe — without repainting, without higher-timeframe complications, and without messy borders.
This script is built for traders who want simple, precise, and visually clean imbalance zones that work the way FVGs should work:
🔥 Features
✔ Chart-timeframe FVGs only
No request.security, no multi-TF artifacts, no lagging or repainting.
The script reads exactly what your chart shows and never mixes timeframes.
✔ Wick-based or Body-based detection
Use classic ICT wick gaps, or switch to body-only gaps with one click.
✔ Minimum FVG size (points)
Filters out noise by requiring a minimum point distance (default: 5 points).
Great for futures and fast intraday charts.
✔ Clean, seamless boxes (no borders)
The FVG zones are rendered with borderless boxes, matching the modern style shown in institutional imbalance tools.
✔ Proper “end-to-end” FVG drawing
Each gap box starts from the origin of the imbalance and extends forward automatically.
✔ Auto-disrespect removal
FVGs are automatically deleted when price invalidates the zone:
Bullish FVG removed if close < FVG low
Bearish FVG removed if close > FVG high
No clutter. No manual cleanup.
✔ Extend zones forever or to the current bar
Choose if your FVGs run across the full future chart or just up to the latest candle.
✔ Optional: show only most recent FVG
Great for scalping or IFV (Immediate Fair Value) strategies.
Energy Meter (Candle Range/ATR Ratio)Purpose:
This indicator is a simple, intuitive way to visualize auction energy — the actual force behind a price move — rather than just its appearance on the chart. It’s built on a single idea:
If a bar travels farther than normal in its fixed amount of time, something pushed harder than usual.
That “push” is auction energy, and it’s the raw material of microstructure inference: reading intent and imbalance from nothing more than candles, tempo, and volatility.
Traditional indicators focus on price patterns or volume. This one focuses on pressure — the underlying imbalance driving each bar.
How It Works
Each bar’s True Range is divided by its ATR, producing a normalized ratio:
1.0 = Average energy
>1.2 (default) = Above-normal energy
<1.0 = Quiet, low-pressure bars
This ratio is plotted as a histogram to highlight bursts of force, with a smoothed line added to show the tempo of recent energy changes.
When the histogram spikes, you’re seeing the auction flash its teeth: aggression, initiative, failed absorption, breakout ignition, or the first punch of a reversal.
When the line rolls over, you’re seeing the engine lose torque.
It’s a minimalist tool for seeing who is actually winning the auction, even when price looks deceptively calm.
Why It Matters
Price moves because of imbalance, not geometry. Two candles that look identical can represent completely different internal dynamics.
This indicator helps you see:
Breakout strength vs. fakeouts
Acceleration vs. drift
Exhaustion after extended runs
Reversal attempts with real intent
Quiet absorption before explosive moves
Shifts in aggression hidden inside consolidation
For new traders, it’s a clean introduction to microstructure inference — extracting meaningful order-flow insights without needing L2, DOM, or volume profile.
For experienced traders, it's a compact impulse detector that complements trend, volatility, and liquidity models.
Summary
This is a lightweight, first-principles tool designed to expose the energy signature of the auction: how hard the market is trying to go somewhere.
It doesn’t predict direction — it reveals pressure, so you can judge the quality of the move you’re trading.
Energy beats geometry.
Intent beats patterns.
Microstructure is hiding in every candle; this indicator makes it visible.
Advanced Linear Regression Pro [PointAlgo]Advanced Linear Regression Pro is an open-source tool designed to visualize market structure using linear regression, volatility bands, and optional volume-weighted calculations.

Comparing price against higher-timeframe regression structure
Identifying areas where price moves rapidly with volume
It can be used on any market or timeframe.
No part of this script is intended as financial advice or a complete trading system.
Supply & Demand ZonesThis indicator detects high-probability supply and demand zones using a multi-step smart money concept approach:
Liquidity Sweep Detection: Identifies when price sweeps above a pivot high (supply setup) or below a pivot low (demand setup), capturing liquidity grabs by institutional traders.
Displacement Confirmation: Requires a strong displacement candle (measured by ATR and body percentage) or fair value gap (FVG/imbalance) in the opposite direction after the sweep.
Volume Confirmation: Optional filter ensures zones form only when volume exceeds the user-defined threshold, indicating institutional participation.
Smart Filtering: Built-in logic prevents overlapping zones, enforces minimum spacing between signals, and requires confirmation bars to eliminate false signals.
Zone Lifecycle Management: Zones are automatically removed when price closes through them with momentum. Breached zones can optionally "flip" to the opposite type when re-tested with strong displacement.
✨ Key Features
Clean Visual Display: Small "D" (Demand) and "S" (Supply) labels with shaded zone boxes
Non-Repainting: All signals use confirmed historical data—no lookahead or repainting
Volume Filter: Optional confirmation using volume spike detection
Zone Flip Logic: Breached demand zones can become supply (and vice versa) when violated
Overlap Prevention: Smart algorithm prevents clustered or duplicate zones
Confirmation Delay: Configurable wait period after sweep to confirm genuine setups
Customizable Inputs: Adjust pivot sensitivity, displacement thresholds, volume filters, and more
Alert Ready: Built-in alert conditions for new supply and demand zone formations

ICS🏛️ Institutional Confluence Suite (ICS) Indicator
The Institutional Confluence Suite is a powerful and highly customizable TradingView indicator built to help traders identify key institutional trading concepts across multiple timeframes. It visualizes essential market components like Market Structures (MS), Order Blocks (OB)/Breaker Blocks (BB), Liquidity Zones, and Volume Profile, providing a confluence of institutional price action data.
📈 Key Features & Components
1. Market Structures (MS)
Purpose: Automatically identifies and labels shifts in market trends (Market Structure Shift, MSS) and continuations (Break of Structure, BOS).
Timeframe Detection: You can select detection across Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings to match your trading horizon.
Visualization: Plots colored lines (Bullish: Teal, Bearish: Red) to mark the structures and optional text labels (BOS/MSS) for clear identification.
2. Order & Breaker Blocks (OB/BB)
Purpose: Detects and projects potential Supply and Demand zones based on recent price action that led to a swing high or low.
Block Types: Distinguishes between standard Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks (OBs that fail to hold and are traded through, often serving as support/resistance in the opposite direction).
Customization:
Detection Term: Adjusts sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Display Limit: Sets the maximum number of recent Bullish and Bearish blocks to display.
Price Reference: Option to use the Candle Body (Open/Close) or Candle Wicks (High/Low) to define the block boundaries.
Visualization: Displays blocks as colored boxes (Bullish: Green, Bearish: Red) extending into the future, with a dotted line marking the 50% equilibrium level. Breaker Blocks are indicated by a change in color/line style upon being broken.
3. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL)
Purpose: Highlights areas where retail stops/limit orders are likely clustered, often represented by a series of relatively equal highs (Buyside Liquidity) or lows (Sellside Liquidity).
Detection Term: Adjustable sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Margin: Uses a margin (derived from ATR) to group similar swing points into a single liquidity zone.
Visualization: Plots a line and text label marking the swing point, and a box indicating the clustered liquidity zone.
4. Liquidity Voids (LV) / Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Purpose: Identifies areas where price moved sharply and inefficiency was created, often referred to as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances. These are price ranges where minimal trading volume occurred.
Threshold: Uses a multiplier applied to the 200-period ATR to filter for significant gaps.
Mode: Can be set to Present (only show voids near the current price) or Historical (show all detected voids).
Visualization: Fills the price gap with colored boxes (Bullish/Bearish zones), often segmented to represent the price delivery across the gap.
5. Enhanced Liquidity Detection
Purpose: A complementary feature that uses volume and price action to highlight areas of high liquidity turnover, potentially indicating stronger Support and Resistance zones.
Calculation: Utilizes a volume-weighted approach to color-grade liquidity zones based on their significance.
Visualization: Plots shaded boxes (gradient-colored) around swing highs/lows, with text displaying the normalized volume strength.
6. Swing Highs/Lows
Purpose: Directly marks the price points identified as Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the lookback periods.
Timeframe Detection: Can be enabled for Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings.
Visualization: Plots a small colored dot/label (e.g., "⦁") at the swing point.
This indicator is an invaluable tool for traders employing ICT (Inner Circle Trader), Smart Money Concepts (SMC), or general price action strategies, as it automatically aggregates and displays these critical structural and liquidity elements.
Structure Pilot - Z&Z [Wang Indicators]Structure Pilot Zone & Zil is a complete suite of structure driven features that's build around pattern that can be visible around any timeframe.
Built in collaboration with Dave Teaches,
All these tools were shaped and combined together as the only toolkit Structure & DTFX traders want to have !
▫️ Structures & Zones ▫️
Zones are drawn when a break of structure (new high or low being created) or a market reversal happens.
It will highlight the last valid down move before a new high for bullish zones and the last valid up move before a new low for bearish zones.
These zones are used to analyze the market trend and to make entries into the market trend once the price retraces into these zones.
For example, with the latest bullish zones drawn in green for LTF zones and in blue for HTF zones, when the price retraces into this zone, there is a strong probability that the price will turn around to provide a buying opportunity all the way to the top of the zone or even higher.
These buying opportunities generally occur at specific retracement levels in the 30%, 50% and 70% zones, automatically represented by broken lines in the zones when they are created.
Example with bullish zones :
The aim with these zones is to find places on the chart where it's best to buy or sell, in order to take the biggest possible move while minimizing your risk.
Indeed, if the price is rising and a bullish zone has been created, I don't want to buy on the highs, preferring to wait for a retracement in my bullish zone to buy lower and reduce my risk, as the invalidation of the current trend will be found below the last protected low under the bullish zone drawn in blue for the HTF and in green for the LTF. Conversely, if the price is falling and a bearish zone has been created, I don't want to sell at the bottom. I'd rather wait for a retracement in the bearish zone to sell higher and reduce my risk, as the invalidation of the current trend will this time be above the last protected high above the bearish zone drawn in orange for the HTF and red for the LTF.
Example with bearish zones :
When it comes to market structure, it's good to know that zones recur within the same trend at a frequency of between 3 and 6 before there's a trend reversal.
So, after a certain number of successive zones, you can expect a reversal or the last protected high or low to be breached. The indicator automatically counts the number of successive zones, so you can keep track of the market and avoid surprises.
The zones are generated through the structure length. It can be increased to display larger (and more important) zones.
As we recommend keeping the default value (20) for new traders, experienced traders will find some success with other settings depending on their strategies.
Structure Pilot also provides auto HTF Zones, which is particularly useful to have a macro vision of the market.
Settings:
Swing types: Bullish only, Bearish only, both, or none
Structure length
Swing count: useful when it comes to tracking Trend strenght in any given time frame
Show Zones: Display boxes with 30%, 50%, and 70% fibs
Show HTF Zones: Display HTF zones with the same retracement configuration as the regular zones

30% Level : This is often considered a shallow retracement. If prices pull back to this level after an uptrend and flip in a lower timeframe, traders might view it as a strong sign of continued bullish momentum. Conversely, after a downtrend, this level could act as a temporary resistance where sellers might re-enter after a flip in a lower timeframe.
50% Level : This level is seen as a balance point or midpoint in the price move. A retracement to 50% can indicate a strong trend change or continuation.
70% Level : A retracement this deep can signal that the market might be losing steam or that the previous trend could be weakening. If the price bounces off this level, it might suggest that the trend is still in control but needed a more significant correction before moving further in its original direction.
We as structure traders prefer to take entry out of The 50% or when price retrace past it
there will be something at the level i'm looking for price to reverse from either some specific candles or imbalances.
Advanced traders might combine these levels with other tools or chart patterns that we bundle in this indicator.
▫️ ZIL ▫️
The ZIL Indicator is designed to automate the process of identifying key structural levels in the market and applying Fibonacci retracements when a significant price break occurs.
The indicator detects when a market structure (high or low) is broken and a candle closes below the previous low or above the previous high, indicating a potential trend shift or continuation.
• Tracks the break of structural lows or highs and waits for a confirmation candle that closes above or bellow the candle that set the new low.
Automated Fibonacci Retracement:
• Once the structure break is confirmed, the indicator automatically plots a Fibonacci retracement between:
• The high of the last bullish move (before the new low is set) or the low of the last bearish move (before the new high is set)
• The newly formed low after the structure break or the newly formed high after the structure break
Fibonacci levels plotted with colors :
• -0.27 : Dark red - Stop loss
• 0 : white - The new high/low - Potential entry
• 0.3, Orange 0.5, Light green 0.7: Green : Levels - Partial and take profit zones
• 1.15 pale blue - for your runner
We may long the retracement when the price is comming from a bearish zone using the ZIL to manage
Example :
Multi-Timeframe Support:
• Using the option "HTF ZIL" will display ZIL on higher timeframe (corresponding to the HTF Zones) on your charts to help traders find structural breaks and Fibonacci setups in both short-term and long-term markets.
HTF ZIL is really usefull to manage trades if the regular ZIL target get ran through
Wang use case :
HTF zill level are used when the small zill get ran through
▫️ Opening Range Tracker ▫️
The Opening Range Tracker is designed to help traders identify and track the opening range of a specified time period, specifically starting with the 144-minute candle between 8:24 AM and 10:48 AM. (default value) The indicator highlights this range and automatically plots key levels (30%, 50%, 70%) to provide potential strong reaction areas for trading. The time period for the opening range is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust it according to their strategy.
Opening range should be seen and used as a classic zone. If we trade above or below it price tend to come back into it and bounce of of the One or multiple level...
classic 30/50/70.
• Customizable Opening Range: Adapt the indicator to any market or session by changing the opening range time window.
• Precise Levels for Trading: The 30%, 50%, and 70% levels provide key zones where price may react, helping traders define entries, exits, or stop loss placements.
• Visual Clarity: The range box and levels make it easy to see the important price areas during the opening range and the rest of the trading session. If we range a lot in the opening range, we may range for the rest of the day. We should keep that in mind to avoid taking wrong decisions.
its basically a large zone that's we have seen often time price rejects from the level in it
Daily Reset: Each trading day resets the opening range, giving traders fresh data and new opportunities to capitalize on market movements.

Volume Scope Pro - Order Flow Volume Analysis V1.01Volume Scope Pro — Order Flow Volume Analysis
Overview
Volume Scope Pro is a multi-faceted volume analysis indicator that separates volume into buy (up) and sell (down) components to reveal hidden order flow dynamics. It aggregates lower timeframe volume data to estimate buying vs. selling pressure on each bar, calculates the volume delta (buy volume minus sell volume) per bar, and highlights where price action diverges or converges with volume flow. The indicator provides visual output in the form of an on-chart table and chart markers, helping traders identify potential distribution (selling into strength) and absorption (buying into weakness) events, as well as support/resistance zones derived from volume extremes.
Volume Settings
• Global Volume Period – An integer (default 100) defining the shared lookback window (in bars) for all volume-based calculations. This period is used for identifying volume extrema and computing cumulative volume statistics. A larger period considers more history for averages and sums, while a smaller period focuses on recent bars.
• Use Custom Lower Timeframe – A boolean (default true) that lets you override the automatic choice of lower timeframe for volume breakdown. If enabled, the indicator will use the specific lower timeframe you provide (see next setting) to fetch intrabar volume data. If disabled, the script chooses a lower timeframe based on the chart’s resolution (for example, 1-second for second charts, 1-minute for other intraday charts, 5-minute for daily charts, etc.).
• Lower Timeframe – A timeframe input (default 15S, i.e. 15-second intervals) specifying the lower interval to request for up/down volume calculation. This is the resolution at which the script breaks each chart bar’s volume into buying vs. selling volume. Fifteen seconds is the default as it provides a fine-grained intrabar look on most charts. This setting only takes effect if Use Custom Lower Timeframe is true; otherwise, it is ignored in favor of the automatic timeframe resolution.
Table Display Settings
• A dropdown option that adjusts the text size used in the on-chart data table (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge; default: Tiny). The default Tiny setting is selected because many traders use the indicator on mobile devices where screen space is limited. If you are using a larger display such as a laptop, desktop, or tablet, you may increase the font size to your preference for improved readability.
• Table Font Color – A color picker for the table text (default is a shade of blue, #0068e6). All text in the table will be rendered in this color. You can change it to improve contrast against your chart background or personal preference.
• Time Offset (hours) – An integer offset in hours (default 3) applied to the current time display in the table. This shifts the real-time clock readout from UTC by the specified number of hours in the table’s header. For example, setting 0 uses UTC, while a value of 3 (default) shows local time for UTC+3. Negative values are allowed for time zones behind UTC. This does not affect any calculations – it only adjusts the displayed clock for user convenience.
Trend Line & Pivot Settings
• Pivot Left and Pivot Right – Integers (default 5 each) controlling the sensitivity of pivot high/low detection. A pivot high is identified when the price high of a bar is greater than the highs of the Pivot Left bars to its left and Pivot Right bars to its right. Similarly, a pivot low is a bar whose low is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars on its left and right as defined by these values. Smaller values make the pivots more local and frequent, while larger values require more significant swings.
• Pivot Count – An integer (default 5) specifying the number of recent pivot points to track. The indicator will remember up to this many pivot highs and pivot lows each, and use them for drawing trend lines. When the count is exceeded, the oldest pivot points are dropped to focus on the most recent ones.
• Lookback Length – An integer (default 100) defining the number of bars over which trend lines are extended and within which pivot points are considered relevant. Essentially, this is the length of the window (in bars) in which the detected pivots and their connecting trend lines will be shown. Trend lines will start at the beginning of this lookback window and end at the latest bar, updating as new bars form.
• High Trend Line Color / Low Trend Line Color – Color inputs for the drawn trend lines connecting pivot highs and pivot lows, respectively (both default to orange #ff7b00). High trend lines typically slope downwards (connecting recent highs), and low trend lines slope upwards (connecting recent lows). You can change these colors to visually distinguish the two or to fit your chart theme.
• Trend Line Thickness – An integer (default 2) setting the stroke width of the pivot trend lines. Higher values make the lines thicker and more prominent.
• Trend Line Style – A string option (default dashed, options: solid, dashed, dotted) determining the line style for both high and low trend lines. For example, choosing “dotted” will draw the trend lines as a series of dots. This purely affects the appearance and has no impact on calculations.
Support/Resistance (S/R) Zone Settings
• SR Lookback Length – An integer (default 100) that defines how many completed bars are scanned for support/resistance zone detection based on volume extrema. The indicator examines this many bars behind the latest bar (the current bar is excluded to avoid repaint issues) to find extreme buying and selling volume points that form the zones. A larger value means a longer historical window for finding significant volume-based zones.
• Projection Bars – An integer (default 26, range 0–200) specifying how far into the future to extend the S/R zone lines. When set above 0, the horizontal lines marking the zones will project to the right of the latest bar by the given number of bars. This helps anticipate where the zones lie ahead of current price. A value of 0 confines the zone markings to past bars only.
• Resistance Zone Color / Support Zone Color – Color inputs for the drawn zones identified as resistance and support (defaults are red for resistance and teal for support). These colors apply to both the zone’s border lines and its background fill (with adjustable transparency, see below).
• Resistance Line Width / Support Line Width – Integers (default 2 each, range 1–5) setting the line thickness for the top and bottom boundaries of the resistance zone and support zone, respectively. For example, if Resistance Line Width is 3, the drawn lines at the top and bottom of the resistance zone will be thicker than the default.
• Resistance Fill Transparency / Support Fill Transparency – Integers in percentage (default 90 each, range 0–100) controlling the opacity of the colored shading that fills the zone area. 0% means fully opaque (solid color fill), and 100% means fully transparent (no fill color). The default of 90% is very transparent, just lightly coloring the zone area for subtlety. Adjust these to highlight the zones more prominently or to make them nearly invisible, depending on preference.
Overbought/Oversold (OB/OS) Voting Settings
• Enable OB/OS Voting – A boolean (default true) that turns on the overbought/oversold “voting” module. When enabled, the indicator evaluates standard technical indicators (RSI, Stochastic, CCI, etc.) to determine if the market is overbought (OB) or oversold (OS). Each indicator contributes an OB or OS “vote” based on its classic threshold (for example, RSI > 70 is an OB vote, RSI < 30 is OS). The module aggregates these votes to identify consensus extreme conditions.
• Enable Volume Confirmation Filter – A boolean (default true) that requires volume confirmation for OB/OS signals. If enabled, an overbought condition will only be confirmed if there is unusually high sell volume at the same time, and an oversold condition will only confirm with unusually high buy volume. In practice, this means even if indicators vote OB/OS, the script will only mark it as confirmed when volume is spiking in the opposite direction of price (signaling distribution for OB or absorption for OS). This filter helps ensure that OB/OS signals align with significant volume imbalance, indicating potential involvement of larger market participants.
• Enable Dynamic ATR Threshold – A boolean (default true) that adjusts the overbought/oversold trigger threshold dynamically based on volatility (ATR). When true, the voting threshold or confirmation conditions may be eased or tightened depending on recent volatility, as measured by the Average True Range. In higher volatility environments, this can prevent premature OB/OS signals by requiring more extreme indicator readings.
• Enable OB/OS Sync Window – A boolean (default true) that allows an OB or OS condition to remain valid for a short window of bars. If enabled, once an OB or OS state is triggered, it can persist for a user-defined number of bars (see Bars for Hit Sync Window) even if not all indicators remain in agreement every single bar. This helps to capture a cluster of OB/OS signals as one event rather than flickering on and off.
• Volume Average Period – An integer (default 3) specifying how many recent bars of volume to average when determining “unusually high” volume for confirmation. The script calculates the average buy volume and sell volume over this many bars; then the Volume Spike Ratio inputs (below) are applied to decide if current volume is significantly above average. For example, with a period of 3, the buy/sell volume of the last 3 bars are averaged to use as a baseline.
• Minimum Vote Count for OB/OS – An integer (default 3) setting the minimum number of indicators that must agree on overbought or oversold to consider it a valid signal. If fewer than this number signal OB (or OS) at the same time, the condition is ignored. A higher threshold makes the OB/OS signal rarer but more robust (requiring broader agreement among indicators).
• Bars for Hit Sync Window – An integer (default 1) controlling the size of the synchronization window (mentioned above) in bars. If an OB/OS condition is identified, it remains “active” for this many subsequent bars, allowing slightly delayed volume confirmation or indicator agreement to still count as part of the same event. For example, with a value of 2, if an OB signal occurs on one bar and the volume spike confirmation happens on the next bar, the module will treat it as a continuous event and still flag it.
• ATR Adjustment Factor – A float (default 14, step 1.0) used when Dynamic ATR Threshold is enabled. This factor influences how much ATR-based volatility adjustment is applied to the OB/OS vote threshold or confirmation criteria. A larger number might increase tolerance in volatile conditions. (Note: 14 here likely corresponds to an ATR period internally, not a direct multiplier of ATR value. It effectively adjusts sensitivity but does not need frequent change.)
• Overbought: Sell Volume Spike Ratio – A float (default 1.5) that sets the multiple of average sell volume required to confirm an Overbought condition. If the current sell volume is at least this factor times the recent average sell volume (over the Volume Average Period), and indicators are signaling OB, then an Overbought state is confirmed. For instance, the default 1.5 means sell volume must be 150% or more of its average to validate an OB signal. This ensures that an overbought label is only shown when there’s evidence of heavy selling (distribution) accompanying the price being overbought.
• Oversold: Buy Volume Spike Ratio – A float (default 2.0) setting the multiple of average buy volume required to confirm an Oversold condition. With the default 2.0, the current buy volume needs to be at least 200% of its recent average for an OS signal to confirm. This indicates strong buying interest (absorption) when price is in an oversold state. Typically, oversold conditions with significant buy volume could precede upward reversals.
• Source – A price source input (default close) for OB/OS calculations. This is the series value passed into the 20 indicator calculations (RSI, Stoch, etc.). By default it uses closing price, but advanced users can change it (for example, to an HLC3 or other composite) if desired. Generally, leaving it as close is standard.
Indicator Calculations and Logic
Volume Data Aggregation and Delta Calculation
At the core of Volume Scope Pro is the separation of total volume into up-volume (buying) and down-volume (selling) on each bar. This is achieved by requesting lower timeframe data using TradingView’s built-in requestUpAndDownVolume() function. Specifically, for each chart bar, the script gathers volume from a lower timeframe interval (e.g., 15-second bars) that fits within the higher timeframe bar. It sums the volume of all lower-TF sub-bars where price moved up (buy volume) vs. down (sell volume), providing an estimate of how much of the volume was transacted at the ask (buys) versus at the bid (sells). The resulting values are stored as upVolume and downVolume for the current bar, and the volume delta is computed as deltaVolume = upVolume – downVolume. By default, the script ensures upVolume and downVolume are treated as absolute magnitudes, while deltaVolume can be positive or negative indicating net buy or sell dominance.
If Use Custom Lower Timeframe is disabled, the indicator automatically chooses an appropriate lower timeframe based on the chart’s resolution. This adaptive logic uses 1-second intervals for charts in seconds, 1-minute for intraday minutes, 5-minute for daily charts, and 60-minute for anything higher, ensuring that up/down volume can be computed across various chart periods. If even finer resolution is needed or the user prefers a specific timeframe (e.g., 15S), enabling the custom option allows that override.
Coverage:
Because not all historical bars will have lower timeframe data available (especially if looking far back or on certain assets/timeframes), the script tracks how many bars actually received a valid up/down volume calculation. Each bar with non-na deltaVolume is counted toward a coverage total . This coverage count is displayed in the table (as “Coverage: X Bars”) to inform the user how many bars in the dataset had full volume breakdown data. It also serves a technical purpose: certain moving averages or calculations are “gated” to only output values when enough data points exist. For example, a 20-bar average of buy volume will not be shown until at least 20 bars with volume data are present; until then it returns NA to avoid misleading results. This gating mechanism is implemented via helper functions that check coverage before computing moving averages or sums. In practice, if you apply the indicator to a fresh chart or after changing the lower timeframe setting, you may see “NA” placeholders for some values until sufficient bars accumulate.
Volume Averages and Recent Change Indicators
For both buy and sell volume, the script computes short-term and medium-term averages to contextualize the current bar’s activity. Specifically, it calculates a 3-bar simple moving average and a 20-bar simple moving average of upVolume and downVolume (these lengths are fixed and chosen to represent a fast vs. slow window). These averages are shown in the table to compare against the current volume:
• The “Buy Current Amount” is the current bar’s buy volume, shown in an engineered format (e.g., 1.25K for 1,250) for readability. Directly below it (in the same cell via a newline) is “Avg : (3 | 20)”, which lists the 3-bar average buy volume and 20-bar average buy volume. Each average value is followed by an arrow marker:
an upward arrow 🔼 means the current buy volume is higher than that average, whereas a downward arrow 🔻 means the current buy volume is lower than that average. These markers give a quick visual cue – for instance, a 🔼 next to the (3) average indicates a volume spike in the very short term (current bar’s buy volume exceeds the recent 3-bar norm). If not enough data exists to compute an average, “NA” is displayed with the window in parentheses (e.g., “NA (20)” if fewer than 20 bars of coverage). The same format is used for Sell volume, where “Sell Current Amount” is the current bar’s sell volume with its own 3-bar and 20-bar averages and markers.
In addition to the short/medium term averages, the script also computes a “global” average buy volume and sell volume over the full Global Volume Period (using a slightly different approach). It first finds the proportion of buy vs sell over that window (summing all upVolume and downVolume over L = Global Volume Period bars) and then multiplies that ratio by the average total volume on the chart timeframe. This yields an implied average buy volume and sell volume for the global window (taking into account that the chart’s own volume may differ from summed LTF volume due to how the LTF data is sampled). These global averages are used internally (for example, in the OB/OS volume filter logic) but are not explicitly printed in the table. Instead, the table provides a more direct insight: the Positive Δ Sum and Negative Δ Sum (explained later) show accumulated buying vs selling pressure over the lookback period.
Price and Volume Trend Convergence/Divergence
Volume Scope Pro analyzes the short-term and medium-term trends of price and volume to identify convergence or divergence between price movement and buy/sell activity. This is done by calculating the angle of linear regression (slope in degrees) for price and for volume over the same two windows (3 bars and 20 bars). In essence, it fits a line through the last 3 closes and measures its angle, and similarly fits lines through the last 3 buy-volume values, last 3 sell-volume values, and repeats for 20 bars. The angles for price vs. volume are then compared:
• For the buy side, the indicator computes the price angle (θ) over 3 bars and 20 bars, and the buy-volume angle over 3 and 20 bars. These are displayed in the table under a “Buy Volume Trend” row. For example, it might show: “Price θ: 12.5° (3) | 5.0° (20)” on one line and “BuyVol θ: 8.0° (3) | 2.0° (20)” on the next. Each angle is given in degrees (θ symbol) with one decimal precision. A positive angle means an uptrend (price or volume increasing), and a negative angle means a downtrend over that window.
• After listing the angles, a convergence/divergence label is shown for each window: either Convergent or Divergent for the 3-bar window and similarly for the 20-bar window. This indicates whether price and buy volume are moving in the same direction (convergent) or opposite directions (divergent). For instance, if price’s 3-bar trend is up (positive slope) but buy-volume’s 3-bar trend is down (negative slope), that would be Divergent (3), signaling a short-term anomaly (price rising on falling buy volume). Conversely, if both price and buy volume are rising together over 20 bars, that shows Convergent (20), indicating buy volume is supporting the uptrend. These convergence/divergence labels help identify potential early warning signs: divergence may precede a reversal or indicate that an observed price move lacks volume support.
The same analysis is done for the sell side. The table’s “Sell Volume Trend” row lists “Price θ: ... | ...” and “SellVol θ: ... | ...” for 3 and 20 bars , followed by labels showing whether price vs. sell volume trends are convergent or divergent over those periods. For example, if price is trending down (negative angle) while sell volume is also trending down, they are Convergent (both indicating selling pressure in line with price drop). If price is falling but sell volume trend is up, that’s Divergent – price decrease accompanied by increasing sell volume could indicate aggressive selling (potential capitulation or acceleration of downtrend). On the other hand, price falling with decreasing sell volume might suggest selling is drying up (potential for a bottom). These nuances can be gleaned from the convergence/divergence outputs.
All angle calculations use a normalized linear regression slope converted to degrees for easy interpretation. The use of a short (3) and longer (20) window provides a quick glance at immediate vs. recent trend alignment. In the table, the angles and convergence labels are organized in two lines for buy and two lines for sell to clearly separate the information.
Volume Delta and Cumulative Delta Sums
The Volume Delta (Δ) for the current bar is a key metric showing the net difference between buy and sell volume. In the table, it appears as a single-line entry like “Delta: 5.2K” (for example) in the volume delta row. The value is formatted with K/M/B suffix if large, and it is colored green if positive (indicating net buying pressure) or red if negative (net selling pressure), with a neutral color if essentially zero. This coloring provides instant visual feedback: a green Delta means buyers dominated that bar, whereas a red Delta means sellers dominated. The delta number itself helps gauge the magnitude of that dominance. For instance, “Delta: 1.5M” in green would signify a very large imbalance of buying volume on that bar. This row gives a per-bar order flow insight complementing the price action of the candle.
To assess the broader context, the indicator also computes cumulative delta sums over the Global Volume Period. It separately accumulates all positive delta values and all negative delta values within the lookback window (e.g., 100 bars). The results are shown in the table as two lines: Positive Δ Sum and Negative Δ Sum, each followed by a number. These represent the total volume imbalance accumulated in each direction over the window. For example, a Positive Δ Sum of 20K means that, summing all bars in the window where buy > sell volume, buyers were ahead by a total of 20,000 volume (volume units) in that period. Similarly, a Negative Δ Sum of 15K would mean sellers were ahead by 15,000 volume in other bars. These sums give a sense of who is in control over the recent horizon: if Positive Δ Sum greatly exceeds Negative Δ Sum, the market has seen net accumulation (buying) in the lookback; if the reverse, net distribution (selling). The values are shown in a neutral text color (since they are not inherently “good” or “bad”) and are formatted with K/M suffixes as needed. They can help confirm trends or identify subtle shifts – for instance, if price is flat but Positive Δ Sum is growing rapidly, it might indicate stealth accumulation even without price movement.
Support/Resistance Zone Detection from Volume Extremes
Volume Scope Pro identifies key support and resistance areas by analyzing how volume behaved in recent price movements. Zones are derived from points where buying or selling activity became unusually strong or unusually weak—areas that often act as reaction levels in future price action.
A high-activity region is highlighted as a Resistance Zone, showing where strong participation previously slowed upward movement.
A low-activity region forms a Support Zone, indicating price levels where the market tended to stabilize or absorb pressure.
These zones are displayed as horizontal regions projected forward on the chart, with customizable colors and styling. Their upper and lower boundaries are shown in the on-chart table, where the indicator also notes whether each zone currently acts as support or resistance based on price position.
🟥 Resistance Zone based on
Buy/Sell Amount: 1.2345 ~ 1.2500
This indicates a resistance zone between roughly 1.2345 and 1.2500 (the bottom and top of that zone). “Buy/Sell Amount” here refers to the fact that this zone was computed from extreme buy/sell volume events, and the values are the zone’s price range. Likewise, a support zone line would be prefixed with 🟩 and show its range. These zones give a unique volume-based perspective on support and resistance, complementing traditional price-based levels.
Pivot-Based Trend Lines
The indicator draws adaptive trendlines by tracking recent swing highs and swing lows. Whenever the market forms meaningful pivots, the tool connects these points to outline the active upward and downward trend structure. A line drawn through recent highs generally acts as a dynamic resistance guide, while a line drawn through lows often behaves as a rising support boundary.
As market structure evolves, the trendlines update automatically, keeping the analysis aligned with the most recent swings. The color, thickness, and style of these lines are fully customizable. At any moment, you may see one line tracking the upper structure and one line tracking the lower structure, helping identify potential breakout areas or trend-channel behavior without manual drawing.
Overbought/Oversold Voting and Volume Signals
Volume Scope Pro includes an Overbought/Oversold engine that evaluates market exhaustion by combining technical momentum signals with real volume behavior. Instead of relying on a single indicator, the system draws from a broad set of classical oscillators, creating a multi-layer confirmation approach.
The tool aggregates signals from a group of well-known indicators and identifies when several of them simultaneously reach extreme levels. When enough of these indicators align, the condition is considered overbought or oversold. To refine these readings, an optional volume filter checks whether buying or selling pressure is unusually strong at the same time.
• Overbought (OB) is highlighted only when technical exhaustion coincides with elevated sell volume.
• Oversold (OS) appears when oversold readings align with strong buy volume.
When confirmed, the indicator places clear visual markers on the chart:
• OB – potential topping conditions supported by heavy selling.
• OS – potential bottoming conditions supported by strong buying.
• Distribution (↑P ↑S) – price rising while selling pressure increases.
• Absorption (↓P ↑B) – price falling while buyers absorb the move.
• Combined signals (OB+DIST or OS+ABS) highlight the strongest forms of exhaustion.
These markings help traders quickly recognize areas where momentum is fading and volume behavior becomes important. While they do not predict exact turning points, they often appear during phases where the market prepares for a shift, consolidation, or slowing trend.
Usage Notes and Interpretation
Volume Scope Pro provides a detailed view into the internal dynamics of market volume, which can greatly aid analysis when used appropriately. Here are some important considerations and best practices:
• Data Availability (Coverage): The accuracy and utility of this indicator depend on the availability of lower timeframe data for the instrument. On very high timeframe charts (weekly/monthly) or illiquid symbols, the automatic lower timeframe (like 1 minute or 5 minutes) might not retrieve full historical intrabar data, resulting in limited coverage. This is indicated in the “Coverage: X Bars” readout. If coverage is low, many of the volume-based values (especially 20-bar averages or global sums) may show “NA” or be unrepresentative until more data accumulates. It’s often best to use this indicator on active symbols and reasonable timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, 1D with a few months of data or lower) to ensure plenty of sub-bar data is available. If needed, you can reduce the Global Volume Period to focus on a smaller window that has full coverage, or experiment with a different Lower Timeframe that might have more data available (for example, using 1min instead of 15s on very long histories).
• Interpreting Volume Delta and Trends: A key value to watch is the Delta (Δ) and how it changes. For instance, if price is making new highs but Δ is decreasing or negative, it indicates bearish divergence – fewer buyers are supporting the move, or sellers might be increasingly active (distribution). Conversely, price making new lows while Δ becomes less negative or turns positive is a bullish divergence, implying sellers are exhausting and buyers are stepping in (absorption). The convergence/divergence rows quantitatively highlight these situations. Use them as alerts to investigate further rather than automatic trade signals. For example, a divergent 20-bar trend (price up, buy volume down) doesn’t mean price will immediately reverse, but it does warrant caution as the rally may be on weak footing.
• Support/Resistance Zones: The volume-derived S/R zones offer levels that might not be obvious from price alone. They often pinpoint areas where the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers was most extreme (resistance zone) or where the market had a lull in volume (support zone). Treat these zones as you would conventional support/resistance: price may react when revisiting them. A common use is to watch how price behaves upon approaching a highlighted zone – for instance, if price rallies into a red resistance zone and you see volume delta start to flip negative, it could strengthen the case that the zone is indeed acting as resistance due to renewed selling. The zones update once a new volume extreme enters or exits the lookback window, so they are relatively static during most recent price action, shifting only when a significantly larger volume spike happens or the oldest bar in the window moves out. They are also non-repainting for completed bars (the algorithm excludes the current bar for zone calculation to avoid repaint issues). Keep in mind these zones are horizontal areas; they do not guarantee a reversal, but they mark where supply or demand was notably strong in the past, which is useful context.
• Trend Lines and Pivots: The automatic trend lines drawn from pivot highs and lows can help visualize short-term price channels or triangles. They update in real-time as new pivots form. Use them as guidance for potential breakout or breakdown levels – e.g., if price breaks above a descending high line, that could indicate a bullish breakout from the recent down trend. The pivot detection sensitivity (Pivot Left/Right) can be tuned: higher values will only draw lines across more significant swings, whereas lower values will catch minor swings too. Adjust according to the volatility of the asset (more volatile assets might need larger pivot settings to filter noise). The trend lines are an auxiliary feature in this volume tool, meant to save time drawing those lines manually for recent swings. They work best when recent pivots are clear; in choppy conditions with many equal highs/lows, you might see the lines adjust frequently.
• OB/OS Voting Signals: The overbought/oversold markers (OB, OS, distribution, absorption) are perhaps the most actionable signals from this script, but they should not be used in isolation. They effectively combine momentum and volume analysis. A prudent approach is to confirm these signals with price action or other analysis:
• An “OB” (Overbought) marker suggests a probable short opportunity or at least to be cautious with longs. When you see OB, check if it aligns with other factors: Is price at a known resistance or a volume zone? Is there a bearish candlestick pattern? Multiple OB signals in a cluster (with or without “DIST”) could indicate a topping process – you might wait for price to start rolling over before acting.
• An “OS” (Oversold) marker points to a potential long opportunity or caution with shorts. Look for confluence such as the price being at a support zone, a bullish divergence in delta, or a reversal candle. Sometimes one OS by itself might just lead to a small bounce in an ongoing downtrend, but a series of OS/ABS signals could mark a accumulation phase.
• Distribution (↑P↑S) and Absorption (↓P↑B) markers can appear even without full OB/OS votes. These warn of stealthy behavior: e.g., Distribution triangles showing up during a steady uptrend might precede larger profit-taking drops. Absorption triangles in a downtrend might precede a relief rally. They are early warnings – pay attention if they start to cluster or coincide with known S/R levels.
• The combined labels OB+DIST and OS+ABS are stronger alerts since they mean both the indicators and volume are screaming extreme. These are relatively rarer; when they appear, the likelihood of at least a short-term reversal is higher. Still, disciplined risk management is essential as markets can remain overbought/oversold longer than expected.
• No Guarantees & Context: It’s important to emphasize that none of these outputs guarantee a price will move in a certain direction. They highlight conditions that historically often precede moves. Volume Scope Pro should be used as an informational tool to augment your analysis. For example, you might use it to confirm a breakout (volume delta turning strongly positive on a price break) or to spot divergence (price making a new high but Δ Sum not increasing). Always consider the broader context: trend direction, higher timeframe signals, fundamental news, etc. A bullish signal in a strong downtrend may only yield a minor correction, and a bearish signal in a roaring uptrend might just be a pause.
• Avoiding Over-Optimization: The indicator comes with many inputs. It might be tempting to tweak them frequently, but it’s recommended to start with defaults and adjust only if you understand the effect. For instance, if you increase Minimum Vote Count for OB/OS, you’ll get fewer but more conservative signals – you might miss early warnings. Changing Volume Spike Ratios alters how sensitive the volume filter is – lower ratios give more signals (even on modest volume rises) but risk false alarms. Use these settings to tailor the indicator to the asset or timeframe (e.g., a very high-volume asset might justify a higher spike ratio). The defaults have been chosen to suit a wide range of scenarios reasonably well.
• Performance and Chart Load: Volume Scope Pro does heavy processing by requesting a lower timeframe and calculating many values. On some platforms, loading this indicator might be slightly slower or consume more memory. It’s invite-only and not open-source, which means the calculations happen behind the scenes. If you experience any slowness, you can try using a less granular lower timeframe (e.g., 1min instead of 15s) or reduce the Global Volume Period to lighten the load. Generally it runs efficiently, but be mindful if stacking it with many other complex indicators.
In summary, Volume Scope Pro provides a set of volume-centric insights: from basic buy/sell volume split and delta, to trend alignment, to volume-profile S/R levels, to multi-indicator OB/OS warnings with volume validation. It adheres strictly to providing factual, data-driven information with no predictive guarantees. Traders can utilize this tool to observe where large buyers or sellers might be operating (“smart money”), detect when volume behavior contradicts price (a sign of potential reversals), and identify hidden support and resistance zones. All these pieces of information, when combined with sound strategy and risk management, can improve decision-making. Always remember to use this indicator as one part of a comprehensive analysis.
VWAP Wave System ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is an all-in-one trading indicator based on rules from Auction Market Theory. The indicator is built around Volume-Weighted Average Prices (VWAP), Initial Balance (IB) levels, session/composite volume profiles, low-volume zones, optional candle coloring, trade checklists, dashboard readings, and a watermark.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Chris Drysdale (Trader Drysdale), author of the best-selling book VWAP Wave System.
What’s the purpose of this indicator?
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit helps traders see where market value is forming, shifting, or being rejected across different timeframes. It’s built on the ideas of Auction Market Theory, which views the market as a continuous auction between buyers and sellers searching for fair value. The indicator combines VWAPs, Initial Balance levels, and volume profiles into one system that shows how price interacts with value throughout the day, week, and month. By combining short-term and higher-timeframe data, it helps traders understand when the market is balanced and when it’s starting to discover new price areas.
What’s the theory behind this indicator?
This indicator is built on Auction Market Theory, introduced by J. Peter Steidlmayer. The theory says that markets operate as continuous auctions, constantly seeking a fair price where buyers and sellers agree on value. When price stays within a narrow range and volume builds up, the market is balanced around a value area. When price moves away from that area, the market enters price discovery, searching for a new zone of balance. VWAPs represent an evolving measure of value, while Volume Profiles and Initial Balance visualize how the auction developed during each session. Low Volume Zones often show where the market moved too quickly to trade efficiently, making them potential areas of interest for future reactions. By combining these elements, the indicator provides a picture of how the market is auctioning and where value may shift next.
VWAP WAVE SYSTEM TOOLKIT FEATURES:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit indicator includes 7 main features:
Initial Balance Levels
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs
Session Volume Profile
Composite Volume Profile
Low Volume Zones
Checklist
Watermark
Initial Balance Levels:
🔹What is the Initial Balance?
The Initial Balance (IB) is defined by the high and low prices that form within a specific time window. Typically, this time window is the first hour after the regular day trading session starts (09:30 - 10:30 AM EST).
The high and low formed during this window create the foundation for the day’s price structure. From these two points, the indicator automatically calculates several key reference levels that show how far price has extended beyond the initial range or where it may still be balanced. Understanding how these levels are derived and how to interpret them is essential to using the Initial Balance effectively.
🔹How Initial Balance Levels are calculated:
Once the IB window closes, the indicator plots a full set of reference levels derived from the IB range. These levels are:
IB High
IB Low
IB Midpoint
x2 High / x2 Low
x2 Midpoints (x1.5 High/Low)
x3 High / x3 Low
x3 Midpoints (x2.5 High/Low)
🔹IB High & IB Low
The IB High is the highest price reached during the IB session window, and the IB Low is the lowest price reached.
🔹IB Midpoint
The IB Midpoint is the average of the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High & x2 Low
The x2 levels are calculated by projecting one full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance. The IB Range is the distance between the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High Midpoint & x2 Low Midpoint
The x2 High Midpoint (x1.5 High) is the average of the IB High and x2 High. The x2 Low Midpoint (x1.5 Low) is the average of the IB Low and x2 Low.
🔹x3 High & x3 Low
The x3 High/Low levels are calculated by projecting two full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance.
🔹x3 High Midpoint & x3 Low Midpoint
The x3 High Midpoint (x2.5 High) is the average of the x2 High and x3 High. The x3 Low Midpoint (x2.5 Low) is the average of the x2 Low and x3 Low.
🔹Breaks & Retests:
For every Initial Balance level, the indicator automatically tracks when price retests or breaks through them.
A Break occurs when a candle closes above or below an IB level. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price approaches and touches an IB Level, and then reverses in the opposite direction. When this happens, the indicator plots a small green or red triangle.
Green Triangle: Bullish Retest - Price comes down to a level, touches it, and continues up.
Red Triangle: Bearish Retest - Price comes up to a level, touches it, and continues down.
Both breaks and retests are plotted directly on the chart for every toggled IB level. Once detected, they remain fixed and are not repainted.
Other Settings:
🔹Shade IB Range
When enabled, this setting fills the area between the IB High and IB Low (IB Range). The fill helps visually separate the Initial Balance range from the rest of the session, making it easier to identify when price is trading inside or outside of the IB. The color and opacity can also be adjusted through the settings.
🔹Apply One Color
When this setting is enabled, all toggled IB levels use the same color instead of the user’s inputted colors.
🔹Levels Labels
When enabled, text labels that identify each IB level (for example, “IB High,” “x2 High,” or “x2.5 Low”) appear next to each level.
🔹Price Labels
When enabled, the indicator displays the real-time price value of each IB level directly on the chart. These labels update automatically as price changes or when the levels shift due to recalculation from a new session.
🔹Extend Levels Right
When enabled, all toggled IB Levels will be extended infinitely to the right of the chart.
🔹Align Text Right
This setting aligns all level and price labels to the right edge of the plotted line. When disabled, text labels will be aligned to the left edge of each level.
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs:
🔹Why does this indicator include VWAPs?
This indicator includes VWAPs because they show where the most trading activity has occurred within each timeframe, helping identify the market’s fair value area. According to Auction Market Theory, price moves between periods of balance and imbalance as buyers and sellers seek fair value. VWAPs represent those balance points where the majority of trading has taken place. By plotting the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, the indicator shows how value shifts across different timeframes and whether the market is balanced or moving toward a new area of value.
🔹Intraday VWAP
The Intraday VWAP measures the average traded price for the current trading session and resets each day at market open. It shows where most of the session’s trading has taken place, acting as a real-time fair value line. When price trades near the Intraday VWAP, the market is considered balanced. When price moves far above or below it, the market is exploring new value areas.
🔹Candle Coloring:
The Intraday VWAP candle coloring highlights how far price is trading from the session’s average value using the first and second standard deviation bands as visual reference zones. This feature helps users see whether price is balanced around fair value or expanding into an overextended area.
When candle coloring is enabled, each candle’s color changes based on where it closes relative to the two standard deviation bands surrounding the Intraday VWAP. The first band represents one standard deviation (1.0 STD) and the second represents one and a half standard deviations (1.5 STD).
If a candle closes above the upper 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter green, showing strong movement above fair value. Candles closing between the upper 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter green, showing moderate strength. If a candle closes below the lower 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter red, showing strong movement below fair value. Candles closing between the lower 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter red, showing moderate weakness. Candles that close within the ±1.0 standard deviation range remain their normal color, showing that price is balanced near the session’s average.
Both the VWAP line and its bands can be customized in the Intraday VWAP settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency. The candle colors can also be modified. The band sizes (1.0 STD and 1.5 STD by default) can be changed through their input multipliers, allowing users to control the sensitivity of the zones.
Please Note: This candle coloring applies only to the Intraday VWAP
🔹Weekly VWAP
The Weekly VWAP measures the average traded price across the current trading week and resets at the start of each new week. It reflects the fair value area that has developed over multiple trading days, providing a broader view of market balance compared to the Intraday VWAP. When price stays close to the Weekly VWAP, it indicates that the week’s trading activity is balanced. When price consistently trades above or below it, the market is moving away from that balance and forming value in a new area.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Weekly VWAP includes optional standard deviation bands. Users can toggle 1x and 1.5x STD bands. Users can also adjust the multipliers.
Customization:
All colors for the Weekly VWAP and its standard deviation bands can be changed in the indicator’s settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency.
🔹Monthly VWAP
The Monthly VWAP measures the average traded price for the current month and resets on the first trading day of each new month. It provides the broadest view of value within this indicator, showing where the majority of trading has occurred during the current month. When price remains near the Monthly VWAP, it reflects long-term balance.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Monthly VWAP includes optional 1x and 1.5x standard deviation bands that can be enabled or disabled. In the settings, users can adjust the standard deviation multipliers.
Customization:
The Monthly VWAP line, band colors, and fill transparency can all be modified in the indicator’s settings.
🔹VWAP Dashboard
The VWAP Dashboard provides a quick real-time overview of how price is positioned relative to the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs. It is displayed directly on the chart and updates automatically with each new candle.
The dashboard is divided into five labeled sections:
Intraday
Weekly
Monthly
Weekly STD
Monthly STD
Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly Sections:
These three sections show whether price is currently trading Above or Below each VWAP.
If price is above a VWAP, that section displays “Bullish”
If price is below a VWAP, that section displays “Bearish”
Weekly STD and Monthly STD:
These sections display whether price is currently inside or outside the standard deviation bands of the Weekly and Monthly VWAPs.
When price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation zone, the dashboard output is “Balanced Market”
When price is above the upper standard deviation, price is extending up beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bullish Price Discovery”
When price is below the lower standard deviation, price is extending down beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bearish Price Discovery”
🔹What is a Balanced Market
A balanced market occurs when price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation range of a VWAP. This shows that buyers and sellers are in general agreement on value, and trading activity is taking place around the fair value area. In this state, price tends to rotate around the VWAP rather than trend strongly away from it. Balance reflects stability in the auction process, where neither side is dominant and value is being built at current prices.
🔹What is Bullish Price Discovery
Bullish Price Discovery occurs when price trades above the upper standard deviation of a VWAP. This indicates that buyers are accepting higher prices and that value may be shifting upward. In terms of Auction Market Theory, the market is moving away from balance as it searches for a new fair value area above the prior range.
🔹What is Bearish Price Discovery
Bearish Price Discovery occurs when price trades below the lower standard deviation of a VWAP. This shows that sellers are accepting lower prices and that value may be developing beneath the prior area of balance. The market is moving out of equilibrium as participants test lower prices to find new fair value.
Session Volume Profile:
🔹Why this feature is included:
The Session Volume Profile is included to show where trading activity occurred within each session. It visually represents the volume traded at each price, helping to identify where market participants considered value to be. This ties directly to Auction Market Theory, which views markets as auctions seeking balance between buyers and sellers. The profile highlights those balance areas and shows where volume thins out, helping distinguish between value areas and areas of rejection.
🔹How is the Session Volume Profile calculated and displayed:
At the start of each selected session window, the indicator creates a new volume profile and tracks every bar in that session. For each candle, it saves the high, low, open, close, volume, and time. When the HD (High Definition) setting is enabled, and your chart is between the 1-minute and 30-minute timeframes (recommended), the indicator requests lower-timeframe data and feeds the profile with 1-minute candlesticks for more detail. The running session high and low define the vertical bounds of the volume profile. That span is split into a fixed number of rows. Each row represents a price slice. For every bar and every price row, the indicator checks whether the bar’s high-low range touches that row. If it does, it adds part of the bar’s volume to that row. The allocation uses a step-to-bar-size ratio, so that narrow bars do not overload a tall row and tall bars contribute proportionally across all rows they cross. If the bar closes above its open, that row’s “up” volume bucket is incremented. If it closes below its open, the “down” bucket is incremented. After all bars are processed, the row with the highest total becomes the Point of Control (POC). Starting from that row, the indicator expands upward and downward, adding adjacent rows until the cumulative total reaches your Value Area percentage. The upper boundary is Value Area High (VAH), and the lower boundary is Value Area Low (VAL).
For rendering, each price row becomes a horizontal box drawn from the session start time to a length proportional to that row’s volume versus the session’s maximum row volume. If you choose “Up / Down” volume, the row is split into two adjoining boxes that show the up and down portions. If you choose “Total,” a single box is drawn to the total length. If you choose “Delta,” the length reflects the absolute difference between up and down. The POC is drawn as a line across the row midpoint. VAH and VAL are drawn at the exact prices of the top and bottom value rows. While a session is open the profile keeps updating as new bars form. When the session ends, the script fixes its start and end and stops changing that profile. To avoid any issues with drawing limits, the indicator only renders the two most recent session volume profiles.
Settings:
🔹Enabled
Turns the Session Volume Profile on or off. When disabled, no session profiles, lines, or volume boxes are displayed.
🔹HD
Stands for High Definition. When enabled, the indicator requests data from the 1-minute timeframe to build a smoother, more detailed volume profile. This produces finer row distribution and more accurate POC, VAH, and VAL positioning, especially on higher chart timeframes.
🔹POC Line
Toggles the visibility of the Point of Control line. The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in the session. It’s drawn horizontally across the chart at that price, and its color can be customized in settings.
🔹VAH
Controls the display of the Value Area High line. The VAH is the top boundary of the range that contains the specified percentage of total traded volume (default 70%). It marks where volume starts to thin out above fair value. Users can turn it on or off and customize its color.
🔹VAL
Controls the display of the Value Area Low line. The VAL is the lower boundary of the value area and marks where volume thins out below fair value. Its visibility and color can also be customized.
🔹Session
This setting allows users to define the start and end time of the trading session used to calculate the session volume profile. Only bars within this time window are included in the volume profile. When a session ends, the volume profile locks, and a new one begins automatically when the next session begins based on the user’s input.
🔹Volume
Controls how the histogram rows are displayed:
Up/Down: Splits each price row into two parts: one for bullish candles (Up volume) and one for bearish candles (Down volume). This helps visualize buying versus selling pressure at each price.
Total: Combines both Up and Down volume into a single-colored bar for each price level. Since direction isn’t separated, this view focuses purely on where trading activity was concentrated, regardless of which side was in control. A tall bar means strong participation and interest at that price.
Delta: Displays the difference between up and down volume (Up/Down) for each row, highlighting which side controlled that price area.
🔹Value Area Volume
The Value Area Volume setting defines how much of the total session volume is considered the “value area.” By default, it’s 70%, meaning the indicator finds the price range where 70% of all trading took place during that session. This area is where buyers and sellers agreed the most on price, also known as the fair value zone.
If you increase the percentage (for example, to 80%), the value area becomes wider and includes more of the session’s trading range. Lowering it (for example, to 60%) makes it narrower, focusing only on the prices with the heaviest activity.
🔹Row Size
The Row Size controls how detailed the volume profile looks. It decides how many price levels (rows) the profile is divided into. Smaller values make the profile smoother and easier to read but less precise. Larger values add more detail and show exactly where volume clustered, but they can make the profile look denser.
The maximum value is 450 rows, and the minimum value is 5 rows. Higher values (especially above 200) can make the volume profile appear more detailed but may also cause performance issues or partial rendering on TradingView charts due to the platform’s drawing object limits. For most users, values between 50–150 give a good balance between clarity and performance.
25 Rows vs. 200 Rows:
Composite Volume Profile:
The Composite Volume Profile shows how volume is distributed across a larger selected range instead of just one session. It helps traders see where the most trading activity has taken place over multiple days. This gives a picture of long-term balance areas and important price zones that have repeatedly attracted buyers and sellers.
The Composite Profile uses the same base logic and visual settings as the Session Volume Profile, including POC Line, VAH, VAL, Volume Type, Value Area Volume, Row Size, and Colors. Any customization applied to those settings also affects the Composite Profile, ensuring a consistent appearance across both features.
🔹Session Count Setting:
This setting controls how many past sessions are merged into one composite volume profile. For example, if the Session Count is set to 5, and each session represents one trading day, the profile combines data from the last 5 trading days. A “session” refers to the time window defined in the Session Volume Profile settings.
🔹How is the Composite Volume Profile used?
In Auction Market Theory, markets move through phases of balance and imbalance as traders agree on value before moving to explore new ones. The Composite Volume Profile shows where that long-term balance has formed. Large, wide areas on the profile indicate zones where multiple sessions agreed on value. Thin areas show prices that were quickly rejected, where less time and volume were traded. Combining short-term session profiles into a composite helps identify when the market is holding near established value or entering new price discovery, confirming transitions between balance and price discovery.
Low Volume Zones:
🔹What are Low Volume Zones?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) are price areas where trading activity was minimal compared to surrounding levels. On a volume profile, they appear as thin “valleys” between two high-volume “peaks.” These valleys show where the market moved too quickly for significant two-way trade to occur. In Auction Market Theory, they represent inefficient areas, meaning the market didn’t find fair value, so price either skipped through or rejected those levels.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones found?
The indicator identifies Low Volume Zones (LVZs) directly from Session Volume Profiles (SVPs) by analyzing the shape of its volume distribution. Each SVP is built from a series of horizontal rows, where each row represents the total traded volume within a narrow price range. The longer the row, the higher the trading activity at that price.
The indicator first locates the two largest high-volume peaks on the profile. These peaks represent the strongest areas of market activity. Once these two main peaks are found, the indicator looks on both sides of each peak for the lowest-volume row in the surrounding area. Those small-volume dips define the boundaries of the Low Volume Zones.
Each high-volume peak can therefore generate two LVZs (one above and one below it), resulting in a maximum of four Low Volume Zones per volume profile. If two LVZs overlap or share the same price range, they are automatically merged into a single larger zone, which may reduce the total count to three or fewer.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones used?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) mark areas where the market previously traded with little participation. In Auction Market Theory, these zones represent inefficient price areas where buyers and sellers failed to agree on value. When price returns to an LVZ, it may act as an area where price tends to react differently due to lower previous trading activity. If the market still sees that area as unfair, price will reject it and reverse quickly. If the market now accepts that price level, volume builds and price moves through it smoothly as the auction seeks new balance. Traders use LVZs to identify where price may react sharply or move quickly through thin areas. When price approaches a zone from above or below, it signals potential rejection or continuation.
🔹LVZ Breaks and Retests
The indicator automatically tracks how price interacts with every detected LVZ.
A Break occurs when price fully moves through the entire LVZ and closes past it. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price touches an LVZ and reverses away, showing rejection. When price comes down to a level, taps it, and continues up, it’s considered a bullish retest, and a small green triangle is plotted. When price comes up to a level, taps it, and continues down, it’s considered a bearish retest, and a small red triangle is plotted.
🔹LVZ Settings
Enabled:
Toggles LVZ detection and visualization on or off.
Realtime:
Allows LVZs to form dynamically as the current session develops, updating live as volume builds or thins out. When disabled, zones only appear once the session closes.
Please note: When this setting is enabled, zones may update or shift while the current session is still forming. Because the Session Volume Profile is continuously recalculating with new data, both the volume distribution and detected zones can change until the session closes.
Row Pivot Length:
Controls how far above and below each price row the indicator looks when identifying the highest and lowest volume points that define each Low Volume Zone. Larger values make the indicator compare a wider range of rows, while smaller values keep the analysis closer to each row’s immediate area.
Last SVPs:
Defines how many recent Session Volume Profiles are used for LVZs. For example, setting it to 3 limits LVZ detection to the last three sessions only.
Retests and Breaks:
Enables or disables the display of the retest and break markers described above.
Checklist:
The Checklist is a manual on-chart dashboard that allows traders to keep track of specific market conditions before entering a trade. Each checklist item can be toggled on or off in the indicator’s settings. When enabled, a checkmark emoji appears next to that item on the dashboard. When disabled, an X emoji appears next to that item.
This feature is designed to help traders visually confirm important steps in their process, such as reviewing trend direction, VWAP alignment, or session context. The checklist can also be repositioned anywhere on the chart using the “Location” setting for better visibility and layout preference.
Watermark:
The Watermark feature displays key chart information directly in the background, including the current ticker symbol, selected timeframe, and date. The watermark’s size, color, and transparency can be adjusted in the settings.
UNIQUENESS:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is unique because it brings every part of Auction Market Theory to the chart. It shows how value builds and shifts by combining Initial Balance levels, multi-timeframe VWAPs, and volume profiles. The indicator automatically marks low-volume zones where the market moved too quickly, highlights breaks and retests, and tracks how price interacts with fair value across sessions, weeks, and months. Every feature works together to give a simple view of balance, imbalance, and value development as the auction unfolds.
TD signalsThe iFVG Smart Inversion System is a precision-based price action tool designed for traders who understand the power of liquidity and displacement. This indicator identifies Inverted Fair Value Gaps (iFVGs) — moments when price fully disrespects an existing imbalance — signaling a potential shift in market intent.
Unlike typical FVG indicators that flood the chart with zones, this system focuses on the signal behind the imbalance, not the imbalance itself.
✅ Core Logic
A signal is generated only when:
1️⃣ Price taps the 50 EMA
2️⃣ Within the next 10 bars, a previously-formed FVG is completely closed through
3️⃣ Trend is confirmed:
Buy only if price is above the 50 EMA
Sell only if price is below the 50 EMA
4️⃣ The most recent FVG is the only valid one
5️⃣ One signal per EMA tap — no clutter
6️⃣ System fully resets only after a new, clean EMA touch
7️⃣ Signal filter: Blocked when 50 EMA & 100 EMA are crossing to avoid indecision zones
This creates a highly selective, institutional-style confirmation tool with strong directional bias.
🎯 What It’s Built For
Intraday trading (5m optimal, but works on other TFs)
Liquidity grabs & displacement recognition
Trend-aligned continuation entries
Clean and minimal charting
Perfect for traders who want clarity over chaos — less noise, more conviction.
🔔 Alerts Included
TD Buy Signal
TD Sell Signal
Optional FVG disrespect notifications
Use with your preferred execution model (Breaker, iFVG continuation, BOS confirmation, etc.)

Delta Arbitrage [by Oberlunar]Delta Arbitrage turns fragmented exchange activity into a single, readable pulse. Each broker breathes at its own rhythm; this tool measures the share of “buy vs. sell” participation per broker, weights those brokers by liquidity/activity, and blends them into one continuous bias. The result is a chart you can read in seconds: aqua when buy-side dominates, red when sell-side does—stronger shades for stronger imbalances.
Delta Arbitrage indicator supports several ways to colour candles based on the aggregated, cross-venue delta, so you can match visual feedback to the strength/consensus of flow.
Examples
LONG opportunity — broad bullish agreement (>70% weighted Buy%)
In this case, a LONG setup formed because a high proportion of brokers simultaneously pushed bullish volumetric deltas (>70%).
The corridor then stayed positive across multiple bars, with sustained long strength in agreement across venues:
Follow-through:
SHORT opportunity — broad bearish agreement (<20% weighted Buy%)
Here, a SHORT setup formed because a high proportion of brokers simultaneously pushed bearish volumetric deltas (<20%).
The corridor remained negative over several bars, showing high-intensity short pressure in cross-venue agreement:
Follow-through:
Spectral mode
You can enable the spectral mode, where range candles are colored only when multiple brokers are in volumetric agreement. You’ll see bullish pressure when weighted Buy% exceeds ~70%; when direction changes, range candles fade out and the lower tiles flip red to reflect rising short pressure.
Example:
How it’s built (in plain words)
For every selected broker, the script computes a robust Buy% over a rolling window and maps it to a signed bias (−1…+1).
Venues are then combined with flexible weighting—Equal, Last Volume, SMA Volume, or Relative-to-SMA—to emphasise who is active now .
A small neutral band near zero calms noise; an intensity curve (gamma) makes strong pushes visually obvious without overshooting weak ones.
What you see
Tinted bars/background : the aggregate bias colours the chart so the prevailing side is instantly clear.
Dashboard : a compact meter for each venue (SELL⇄BUY), its normalised weight, and exact Buy%/bias, plus a summary line for the weighted & unweighted aggregates. It shows whether one venue is dragging the whole market or if participation is broad.
Lower panel (timeline) : a tile-per-bar strip using the same bias logic. Long, saturated runs = sustained participation; choppy, desaturated tiles around zero = balance/compression. The strip’s height is fixed vs. a recent range, so it remains legible on any zoom.
How to act on it (minimal, auditable rules)
Entries: a one-shot arrow when the weighted Buy% crosses a high/low threshold (e.g., >70 for longs, <30 for shorts).
Exits: trail the indicator itself—close when the weighted Buy% retraces by a set number of points from its peak (long) or trough (short).
Context: prefer entries that align with a fresh, persistent run in the lower strip and supportive rows in the dashboard; fade/exit when the strip desaturates or flips.
Do not operate when the average volumetric pressure (avg) is around 50% +- 15%
Why it matters
This is not tick-level microstructure; it’s a fast, stable cross-venue proxy designed for operational use on any timeframe. By unifying “who’s in charge, for how long, and how strongly,” the indicator reduces discretionary noise and turns participation into a tradable, testable context.

Order Blocks Zones with Signals█ OVERVIEW
“Order Blocks Zones with Signals” is a technical analysis tool that automatically identifies Order Blocks (OB) and optionally Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart.
The script visualizes these zones as colored rectangles, offering full customization of style, transparency, and signal display.
It also generates entry and exit signals (Break & Exit) that can serve as confirmations in strategies based on price action and market structure.
Thanks to flexible candle size filters and rich visual options, the indicator maintains chart clarity and readability.
█ CONCEPTS
Order Blocks (OB) are key zones on the chart where significant price movements previously occurred — areas where large market participants (institutions, so-called smart money) initiated or closed positions.
An OB is the last candle that followed the prior trend before the market reversed (e.g., for a Bullish OB: the last bearish candle before a pivot low and a strong upward impulse).
The script detects these levels using local price pivots, analyzing candle direction to filter out less significant movements.
FVG (Fair Value Gaps) represent areas of imbalance between buyers and sellers — price gaps formed by a sharp impulse where full trading did not occur due to one-sided order dominance (e.g., excess buy or sell orders).
Why combine OB and FVG in one indicator?
Combining OB and FVG analysis is essential because these phenomena often occur sequentially in the institutional market cycle:
1. Order Block — institutions enter the market in the OB zone, absorbing orders and building positions.
2. Strong impulse — after smart money entry, a rapid price move creates an FVG (imbalance gap).
3. Retest — price naturally returns to these zones (OB or FVG), drawn by unfilled orders and the search for equilibrium.
Such areas strongly attract price, as they represent not only historical institutional levels but also open “holes” in the order book. Retests of OB and FVG are ideal entry opportunities with high reaction probability (rebound or breakout). The indicator combines these two interconnected elements, enabling comprehensive market structure analysis in a single tool.
Order Blocks are labeled as:
Bullish OB – demand zones, often accumulation areas before an upmove.
Bearish OB – supply zones, signaling potential impulse end or correction start.
█ FEATURES
Order Block Detection (OB Detection):
- Automatic identification of demand and supply zones based on pivots.
- OB is the last candle aligned with the prior trend, just before the market reversal — precisely identified through candle sequence analysis around the pivot.
- OB zones appear with a delay equal to Pivot Length (default 10 bars).
- Break signals trigger when a candle’s body (close) fully pierces the zone, causing the zone to disappear immediately (e.g., close < low of Bullish OB → Break Down and zone deletion).
- Minimum size filtering via OB Size Multiplier.
- Option to create OB without wicks (Include Wicks in OB): when disabled, OB zones are based solely on candle bodies (open/close), ignoring wicks (high/low).
Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG Detection):
- Optional, with enable/disable capability.
- FVG are detected without delay — immediately upon gap occurrence.
- Size filtering via Candle Size Period and FVG Size Multiplier.
Customizable Styling:
- Separate colors and border styles (Solid / Dashed / Dotted) for each zone type.
- Adjustable transparency and border thickness.
- Unified color for box, border, and signal of the same type.
Breakout and Exit Signals:
- Break Up – triggered when a candle’s close breaks above a Bearish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Break Down – triggered when a candle’s close breaks below a Bullish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Exit Up / Exit Down – temporary exit from the zone without full breakout (price leaves the zone but doesn’t close beyond it). Signal type selection: Break, Exit, or Both.
- Alerts: built-in alerts for all signal types — triggered automatically on candle close confirming breakout or exit from OB.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding to chart: import the code into Pine Editor and run the script on TradingView.
Settings configuration:
- Pivot Length: controls swing detection sensitivity and OB display delay (default 10).
- Include Wicks in OB: enabled (default) – OB includes wicks; disabled – OB uses bodies only.
- Size Filter: adjust Candle Size Period and OB/FVG Size Multiplier to filter out small zones.
- Colors & Styles: set colors, styles, and transparency for each zone type.
- Signal Type: choose which signals to display (Break, Exit, or Both).
Signal interpretation:
- OB Break Up: price closes above Bearish OB → zone disappears → potential bullish continuation.
- OB Break Down: price closes below Bullish OB → zone disappears → potential bearish continuation.
- Exit Signals: price leaves the zone temporarily without breakout — often signals impending reversal or pullback.
Tips:
- Use OB signals alongside other indicators like RSI, MACD, SMI, or trend filters.
- Order Blocks from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) carry greater significance and reaction strength.
- Remember: FVG are detected immediately, OB with delay — a complementary approach!
█ APPLICATIONS
- Smart Money Concepts (SMC): use OB zones as dynamic support and resistance levels. In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities in bullish OBs, which price often retests before further gains. Combining with RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci levels enhances zone significance, confirming institutional demand.
- Breakout Trading: trade based on OB breakout signals. A buy signal after breaking a bearish OB may indicate a strong upward impulse, especially if supported by rising MACD or RSI above 50. Similarly for sell signals after Break Down.
- Reversal Zones: Exit signals may indicate the end of a move or correction. Safest to use in alignment with higher-timeframe trend and confirmed by another indicator (e.g., RSI divergence, Fibonacci levels).
- Confluence Analysis: combine OB and FVG for deeper market structure and equilibrium insight. When an Order Block overlaps or borders an FVG, we get confluence of two institutional phenomena — OB (smart money entry) + FVG (imbalance) — making these areas particularly strong price magnets, increasing retest and reaction probability.
█ NOTES
- FVG can be fully disabled for a cleaner chart view.
- In consolidation periods, signals may appear more frequently — always confirm with additional trend filters.
- Works on all markets and timeframes (crypto, forex, indices, stocks).
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman) builds a vertical, price-by-price profile that blends total participation with balance quality. Instead of plotting raw volume alone, it weights each price bin by:
how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
how compressed price was inside that bin,
how often price revisited it.
The result spotlights fair value and acceptance zones while still revealing momentum/imbalance areas—ideal for reading rotation vs. trend, continuation vs. exhaustion, and the prices that truly matter.
Highlights
Balanced score that fuses delta symmetry, price compression, and hit frequency.
Optional heat spectrum for instant read of participation density and balance strength.
POC-like auto highlight of the dominant price level within the lookback window.
Works across timeframes for session profiling, swing context, or regime shifts.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The script scans a fixed History Length and divides the full high–low span into Bin Count price bins. For every bar in the window, its volume is proportionally distributed across the bins it overlaps, so wide-range bars contribute across multiple bins, while narrow bars concentrate where they traded most. This yields per-bin totals for:
Total Volume (participation)
Positive / Negative Volume (up vs. down bar contribution)
Hit Count (how often price touched the bin)
Average Price Range (mean bar range inside the bin; a proxy for compression)
⚪ Delta & Direction
For each bin, delta symmetry is measured via the ratio of |pos − neg| to total volume. Bins with balanced two-sided flow score higher than one-sided, runaway bins. This curbs the tendency of raw volume profiles to over-reward impulsive bursts.
⚪ Balance Score
Each price bin gets a balance score that multiplies three normalized components:
Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
Durability: rewards bins revisited often (configurable via Hits Weight).
A Min Hits Filter removes flimsy, single-touch bins from dominating the score. The profile can display pure totals or Average Mode (Vol/Hit) to compare bins fairly when hit counts differ.
⚪ Display & Heat Spectrum
The final plotted bar length per bin is the display volume (total or average) weighted by the balance score and normalized to 100.
POC-like Highlight: The 100% bin is outlined (and labeled) when Highlight Max Volume Bin is ON.
Heat Spectrum (optional): A background gradient scales with normalized bar length and balance hue.
Balance Hue: Interpolates between Balance Low/High Colors so high-balance bins visually pop as “accepted value.”
█ How to Use
The profile is effectively a map of price acceptance:
High, bright bars = strong participation at balanced prices → fair value/rotation zones.
Thin, muted bars = poor acceptance → imbalance or transition areas.
POC-style level = most influential price in the lookback window.
⚪ Find Fair Value & Acceptance
Thick, high-balance bins mark value. Expect rotation: price often revisits or oscillates around these areas. They’re prime zones for mean-reversion fades, scale-ins, and risk-defined trades against the edges.
⚪ Identify Imbalance & Funnels
Low-balance, low-hit bins often act like air pockets—price can move through them quickly. These zones are helpful for continuation trades into thin areas or for timing breakout pulls back into acceptance.
⚪ POC Dynamics
When price leaves the POC and returns, watch for re-acceptance (price comes back into the POC or high-balance zone and stays there.) vs. rejection (trend continuation away from value). The auto-highlight makes this quick to judge.
█ Settings
History Length – Bars scanned for the profile. Longer = broader context, slower to adapt.
Bin Count – Vertical resolution of bins between the window’s min and max price.
Display Shift – Offsets the rendering rightward for clarity.
Average Mode (Vol/Hit) – ON uses average volume per visit; OFF uses total volume.
Volume Momentum Weight – Emphasizes two-way flow; higher values favor balanced bins over one-sided deltas.
Price Momentum Weight – Emphasizes compression; higher values favor narrow-range, coiling price action.
Hits Weight – Rewards bins revisited often; higher values favor durable acceptance.
Min Hits Filter – Minimum visits a bin needs to qualify for the balance score.
Show Heat Spectrum – Background gradient for quick read of density and balance.
Highlight Max Volume Bin – Outline + raw volume label for the dominant bin.
Max Volume Color – Color used for that highlight.
Balance Low/High Colors – Gradient endpoints for balance hue across the profile.
