ORB + Fair Value Gaps (FVG/iFVG) Suite with Daily 50% MidlineA complete smart-money–focused price-action toolkit combining the New York Open Range Breakout (ORB), ICT-style Fair Value Gaps, Inverted FVGs, and a dynamic Daily 50% Midline.
Designed for traders who want a clean, fast, and highly visual way to track liquidity, imbalances, and intraday directional bias.
📌 Key Features
1. NY Session ORB (09:30–09:45 New York Time)
Automatically plots:
ORB High
ORB Low
Labels for ORB high/low
Optional 5-minute chart restriction
Lines extend forward for easy reference
Used to identify breakout conditions, liquidity sweeps, and directional bias into the morning session.
📌 2. ICT-Style Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Full automated detection of bullish & bearish FVGs based on the classic 3-candle displacement structure:
Bullish FVG: high < low
Bearish FVG: low > high
Each FVG is drawn as a box with:
Custom colour
Custom border style (solid, dashed, dotted)
Automatic extension to the right until filled
Optional size text showing the gap in points (font size/colour adjustable)

FVG Volume Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
FVG Volume Profile is a smart volume analysis tool that identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and overlays a volume profile inside each gap using data from lower timeframes. The indicator automatically selects the best time resolution or allows for manual control, giving traders deeper insight into the volume structure within each imbalance. POC levels and total volumes gives a full microstructure view inside every FVG.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Fair Value Gap Detection (Bullish & Bearish)
Detects price gaps where inefficiency exists using a 3-bar structure.
-Bullish Gaps: Low > High with confirming middle bar.
-Bearish Gaps: High < Low with confirming middle bar.
Only significant gaps (filtered by standard deviation) are plotted to avoid noise.
Multi-Timeframe Volume Profiling
Pulls granular candle and volume data from a lower timeframe —
In Auto Mode, uses a resolution ~10x lower than the current chart.
In Manual Mode, lets the user select a custom timeframe.
This ensures accurate intra-gap volume distribution.
Dynamic Volume Binning
Each FVG is divided into vertical volume bins based on the Resolution input.
Each bin displays relative volume intensity as a horizontal box, scaled by percentage of the max bin volume.
Point of Control (PoC) Line & Label
The bin with the maximum volume inside each FVG is marked with:
A horizontal line (PoC) extending from the left to right side.
A label showing the absolute volume of that bin.
Color-coded to match bullish or bearish FVGs.
Total Volume Label Inside FVG
Each FVG displays the total volume sum from its profile:
For bullish FVGs , shown in the bottom-right corner.
For bearish FVGs , shown in the top-right corner.
Auto-Removal of Invalid Gaps
If price fully closes the gap (crosses its bounds), the FVG, profile, and PoC are deleted automatically.
This keeps the chart clean and focused only on active zones.
Toggleable Volume Profile Display
User can show or hide the volume profiles within FVGs using the "Display" toggle under the "FVG Volume Profile" group.
Only the PoC and FVG boxes remain visible if toggled off.
Volume Resolution Customization
Control the number of bins used for each FVG profile.
Higher resolution = more bins and finer volume analysis. (default 15)
Auto Timeframe Validation Warning
If the selected lower timeframe isn’t actually lower than the chart's, the script shows a visible warning label prompting adjustment.
Helps prevent calculation errors.
⯁ USAGE
Use this tool to identify active imbalance zones (FVGs) with embedded volume context.
Look for PoC positioning inside gaps — near top may indicate absorption or reversal zones.
Combine with price action at the PoC level for precision entries.
Hide volume profile for a cleaner view while retaining key POC and FVG boxes.
Use resolution controls to zoom into fine-grained profiles inside large gaps.
Consider Auto mode for seamless multi-timeframe analysis, or switch to Manual for full control.
⯁ CONCLUSION
FVG Volume Profile transforms raw imbalance detection into actionable insight by embedding lower-timeframe volume structure inside each Fair Value Gap. With PoC highlights, total volume labels, and customizable bin resolution, this indicator is essential for traders who want to understand not just where the gap is — but what volume did inside it .

Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Avg📊 Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Average
This indicator is designed to help traders identify pivotal moments of buildup, exhaustion, or imbalance in the market by calculating the tension between buy and sell volume.
🔍 How It Works:
Buy volume is approximated when the candle closes higher than or equal to its open.
Sell volume is approximated when the candle closes below its open.
Both are smoothed using an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) for noise reduction.
Tension is calculated as the absolute difference between smoothed buy and sell volume.
A rolling average of tension shows the baseline for normal behavior.
When instant tension rises significantly above the rolling average, it often signals:
A build-up before a large move
Aggressive order flow imbalances
Potential reversals or breakouts
🧠 How to Use:
Watch the orange line (instant tension) for spikes above the aqua line (rolling average).
Purple background highlights show when tension exceeds a customizable multiple of the average — a potential setup zone.
Use this indicator alongside:
Price action (candlestick structure)
Support/resistance
Liquidity zones or order blocks
⚙️ Settings:
Smoothing Length: Controls the responsiveness of buy/sell volume smoothing.
Rolling Avg Window: Defines the lookback period for the baseline tension.
Buildup Threshold: Triggers highlight zones when tension exceeds this multiple of the average.
🧪 Best For:
Spotting pre-breakout tension
Detecting volume-based divergences
Confirming order flow imbalances

PVSRA v5Overview of the PVSRA Strategy
This strategy is designed to detect and capitalize on volume-driven threshold breaches in price candles. It operates on the premise that when a high-volume candle breaks a critical price threshold, not all orders are filled within that candle’s range. This creates an imbalance—similar to a physical system being perturbed—causing the price to revert toward the level where the breach occurred to “absorb” the residual orders.
Key Features and Their Theoretical Underpinnings
Dynamic Volume Analysis and Threshold Detection
Volume Surges as Market Perturbations:
The script computes a moving average of volume over a short window and flags moments when the current volume significantly exceeds this average. These surges act as a perturbation—injecting “energy” into the market.
Adaptive Abnormal Volume Threshold:
By calculating a dynamic abnormal threshold using a daily volume average (via an 89-period VWMA) and standard deviation, the strategy identifies when the current volume is abnormally high. This mechanism mirrors the idea that when a system is disturbed (here, by a volume surge), it naturally seeks to return to equilibrium.
Candle Coloring and Visual Signal Identification
Differentiation of Candle Types:
The script distinguishes between bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles. It applies different colors based on the strength of the volume signal, providing a clear, visual representation of whether a candle is likely to trigger a price reversion.
Implication of Unfilled Orders:
A red (bearish) candle with high volume implies that sell pressure has pushed the price past a critical threshold—yet not all buy orders have been fulfilled. Conversely, a green (bullish) candle indicates that aggressive buying has left pending sell orders. In both cases, the market is expected to reverse toward the breach point to restore balance.
Trade Execution Logic: Normal and Reversal Trades
Normal Trades:
When a high-volume candle breaches a threshold and meets the directional conditions (e.g., a red candle paired with price above a daily upper band), the strategy enters a trade anticipating a reversion. The underlying idea is that the market will move back to the level where the threshold was crossed—clearing the residual orders in a manner analogous to a system following the path of least resistance.
Reversal Trades:
The strategy also monitors for clusters of consecutive signals within a short lookback period. When multiple signals accumulate, it interprets this as the market having overextended and, in a corrective move, reverses the typical trade direction. This inversion captures the market’s natural tendency to “correct” itself by moving in discrete, quantized steps—each step representing the absorption of a minimum quantum of order imbalance.
Risk and Trade Management
Stop Loss and Take Profit Buffers:
Both normal and reversal trades include predetermined buffers for stop loss and take profit levels. This systematic risk management approach is designed to capture the anticipated reversion while minimizing potential losses, aligning with the idea that market corrections follow the most energy-efficient path back to equilibrium.
Symbol Flexibility:
An option to override the chart’s symbol allows the strategy to be applied consistently across different markets, ensuring that the volume and price dynamics are analyzed uniformly.
Conceptual Bridge: From Market Dynamics to Trade Execution
At its core, the strategy treats market price movements much like a physical system that seeks to minimize “transactional energy” or inefficiency. When a price candle breaches a key threshold on high volume, it mimics an injection of energy into the system. The subsequent price reversion is the market’s natural response—moving in the most efficient path back to balance. This perspective is akin to the principle of least action, where the system evolves along the trajectory that minimizes cumulative imbalance, and it acknowledges that these corrections occur in discrete steps reflective of quantized order execution.
This unified framework allows the PVSRA strategy to not only identify when significant volume-based threshold breaches occur but also to systematically execute trades that benefit from the expected corrective moves.
ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of tools crafted to aid traders in pinpointing crucial trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context. The toolkit integrates commonly used price action tools to be utilized in conjunction with the Immediate Rebalance patterns, enriching the capacity to discern context for improved trading decisions.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit encompasses the following Price Action components:
ICT Immediate Rebalance
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Liquidity Voids
ICT Macros
🔶 USAGE
🔹 ICT Immediate Rebalance
What is an Immediate Rebalance?
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Rule of Thumb
After an immediate rebalance, the expectation is for two extension candles to follow; otherwise, the immediate rebalance is considered failed. It's important to highlight that both failed and successful immediate rebalances, when considered within a context, are significant signatures in trading.
Immediate rebalances can occur anywhere and in any timeframe.
🔹 Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity primarily refers to the presence of stop losses or pending orders, that indicate concentrations of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Institutional traders, like banks and large financial entities, frequently aim for these liquidity levels or pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
Buyside liquidity denotes a chart level where short sellers typically position their stops, while Sellside liquidity indicates a level where long-biased traders usually place their stops. These zones often serve as support or resistance levels, presenting potential trading opportunities.
The presentation applied here is the multi-timeframe version of our previously published Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity script.
🔹 Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks hold significant importance in technical analysis and play a crucial role in shaping market behavior.
Order blocks are fundamental elements of price action analysis used by traders to identify key levels in the market where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These blocks represent areas on a price chart where institutional traders, banks, or large market participants have placed substantial buy or sell orders, leading to a temporary imbalance in supply and demand.
Breaker blocks, also known as liquidity clusters or pools, complement order blocks by identifying zones where liquidity is concentrated on the price chart. These areas, formed from mitigated order blocks, often act as significant barriers to price movement, potentially leading to price stalls or reversals in the future.
🔹 Liquidity Voids
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers.
Here is our previously released Liquidity-Voids script.
🔹 ICT Macros
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
Here is our previously released ICT-Macros script.

Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
Elite S&D [By:CienF]Elite Supply & Demand
Description
Elite Supply & Demand is not just another zone indicator; it is a complete institutional trading system designed to identify high-probability imbalances in the market. Unlike standard indicators that flood the chart with weak zones, this script applies rigorous Price Action rules to filter, score, and validate only the most significant areas of interest.
The core philosophy of this tool is "Anormality". Institutional activity leaves a footprint in the form of explosive volatility relative to the recent context. This indicator detects these footprints, measures their intensity, and validates them against market structure.
Key Features
🔥 Dynamic Quality Scoring (The "Elite" Feature) The indicator doesn't just draw boxes; it rates them. It calculates a Volumetric Ratio comparing the explosive move against the historical average at the moment of creation.
Contextual Intelligence: It continues to track the initial move. If the momentum continues after a small pause, the score updates in real-time.
Visual Grades:
🔥 Fire: High Anormality (Institutional Imbalance).
⚡ Lightning: Moderate Anormality (Decent strength).
No Icon: Standard move.
🏗️ Advanced Structure Validation Includes a unique "Eventual Break" filter.
Latent Zones: You can choose to hide zones that haven't broken structure yet.
Auto-Validation: The zone remains invisible/transparent until price breaks a recent High/Low or Fractal Pivot. Once the break occurs, the zone "activates" on your chart.
🧠 Smart Mitigation Logic
No Zombie Zones: Once a zone is mitigated (touched), it is strictly processed. It can either turn gray (History Mode) or be removed instantly.
Priority Handling: Mitigated zones are never re-colored or re-validated, keeping your chart clean and accurate.
🚀 Performance Optimization
Date Lookback: Includes a "Days Back" filter to prevent the script from calculating thousands of historical candles, ensuring smooth performance even on lower timeframes (1m, 5m).
🔔 Integrated Alerts
Creation: Get notified immediately when a potential zone forms.
Validation: Get notified specifically when a latent zone breaks structure and becomes active.
How It Works ( The Logic)
Phase 1: The Base (Indecision): Identifies candles with small bodies (≤ 50% of range) representing equilibrium/accumulation.
Phase 2: The Explosion (Imbalance): Looks for a strong breakout candle (≥ 60% body) that moves away from the base.
Phase 3: The Follow-up: Verifies that the move continues. It allows for "Smart Pauses" (single indecision candles) within the trend but invalidates the zone if a reversal occurs immediately.
Phase 4: Structure Check: Verifies if the move broke the Recent Range (High/Low) or Fractal Pivots.
Settings & Configuration
1. Base & Exit Rules
Max % Body: Threshold to define an indecision candle (Default: 50%).
Explosive Min: Minimum strength required for the exit candle.
2. Structure Validation
Structure Type: Choose between Recent Range (more fluid) or Fractal Pivots (stricter).
Filter Eventual Break: Highly Recommended. If checked, zones appear only after they prove their strength by breaking structure.
3. Scoring (Quality)
High Quality Ratio: The multiplier required to earn the 🔥 icon (e.g., 2.0x larger than average).
Allow Pause: Allows the algorithm to capture larger moves even if there is a single small candle in the middle of the explosive leg.
4. Performance
Days Back: Limits how far back the indicator draws. Reduce this number on low timeframes to speed up loading.
Usage Recommendations
For Trend Trading: Look for "Follow-up" zones. If you see a 🔥 zone forming in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, it is a high-probability entry.
For Reversals: Use the "Filter Eventual Break" feature. Wait for the indicator to reveal a zone that has broken a major structure point.
Stop Loss Placement: The indicator draws the zone covering the entire "Base" (wicks included). A safe stop is typically just beyond the distal line (33% recommended) of the box.
🔔 How to Set Up Alerts
Since this indicator uses the dynamic alert() function to send detailed messages (Entry Price, Stop Zone, Type), you must configure it correctly:
Add the indicator to your chart and adjust the settings to your preference.
Click the "Create Alert" button (Clock Icon) on the right toolbar or press Alt + A.
Condition: Select "Elite S&D " from the dropdown menu.
Trigger (CRITICAL): You must select "Any alert() function call".
Note: Do not select "Crossing" or other standard conditions, or the alerts will not trigger.
Expiration: Select "Open-ended" (if you have a Premium plan) or set a future date.
Alert Actions: Choose where you want to receive the alert (Notify on App, Show Popup, Send Email, etc.).
Message: You can leave this default. The script automatically generates a detailed message with the Ticker, Timeframe, Zone Type, and Coordinates.
Click Create.

Consolidation Tracker🧭 Consolidation Tracker — Visualize Market Reversals in Real Time
The Consolidation Tracker is a minimalist yet powerful tool designed to map the anatomy of market reversals and trend transitions. It highlights the structural evolution of price through four key phases, helping traders anticipate shifts with clarity and confidence.
🔄 The Four Stages of a Market Reversal:
Failure to Displace — Price fails to break beyond recent highs or lows, signaling potential exhaustion of the current trend.
Consolidation (CAMP) — A range-bound phase where price compresses between a dynamic high and low. These zones are shaded gray, representing indecision and balance.
Engulfing (ENGULF) — A decisive candle closes beyond the CAMP high or low, suggesting a directional shift. These are highlighted in orange.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) — A three-candle pattern forms a price imbalance. If this FVG also engulfs the CAMP range, it confirms the reversal and resets the CAMP. Bullish FVGs are shaded green, bearish FVGs in red.
🔁 From Reversal to Trend:
Once a reversal is confirmed via an FVG, the market often transitions into a trend cycle characterized by:
Displacement — Strong directional movement away from the prior range.
Fair Value Gaps — Continuation imbalances that offer high-probability entries on retracements.
🧠 How It Works:
The indicator dynamically tracks CAMP highs and lows, updating only when a candle engulfs the range or a valid FVG forms.
FVGs are detected when a three-candle sequence creates a gap between candle 2 and 0, and the middle candle (candle 1) breaks the CAMP boundary.
CAMP levels are plotted as horizontal lines, while background colors narrate the evolving structure in real time.
This tool is ideal for traders who value market structure, price efficiency, and narrative clarity. Whether you're anticipating reversals or riding trends, the Consolidation Tracker offers a clean, actionable lens into price behavior.

patterns and smart money concepts for improved trade timing and decision-making.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 WHAT IT DOES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
This indicator automatically detects and visualizes key market structure elements:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
- Identifies trend continuation patterns
- Marks when price breaks above previous highs (bullish) or below previous lows (bearish)
- Confirms trend strength and momentum
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
- Detects potential trend reversals
- Alerts when market structure shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa
- Helps identify early reversal opportunities
🔹 Order Blocks
- Highlights institutional entry zones
- Identifies the last opposite candle before a structure break
- Shows areas where smart money likely entered positions
🔹 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- Detects price imbalances and inefficiencies
- Shows areas where price moved rapidly leaving gaps
- Often act as support/resistance when retested
🔹 Liquidity Zones
- Marks swing high and low levels
- Identifies areas where stop losses likely cluster
- Shows potential stop hunt and liquidity grab zones
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
BULLISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bullish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↑ (continuation)
2. Look for price to pull back into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter long when price bounces from these zones
4. Place stop loss below the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or resistance level
BEARISH SETUP:
1. Wait for Bearish CHoCH (trend reversal signal) or BOS ↓ (continuation)
2. Look for price to retrace into an Order Block or Fair Value Gap
3. Enter short when price rejects from these zones
4. Place stop loss above the Order Block
5. Target the next liquidity zone or support level

📚 CONCEPTS EXPLAINED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Market structure refers to the pattern of price movements creating swing highs
and lows. Understanding structure helps identify trend direction and potential
reversal points.
SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
These are trading techniques based on tracking institutional order flow and
understanding where large players (banks, funds, institutions) enter and exit
positions.
ORDER BLOCKS:
The last opposing candle before a strong directional move. Institutions often
leave unfilled orders in these zones, which can act as support/resistance when
price returns.
FAIR VALUE GAPS:
Areas where price moved so quickly that it left an imbalance. These gaps often
get "filled" as price returns to find equilibrium, creating trading opportunities.

Volume Profile AnalysisThe Volume Profile Dashboard is a professional-grade analysis tool built for TradingView. It focuses on displaying a comprehensive volume profile breakdown within a dashboard format directly on the chart. The purpose of this tool is to help traders quickly assess buy versus sell volume dynamics, momentum, and sentiment in order to support informed trading decisions.
Instead of plotting simple bars, this indicator uses a detailed table and visual progress bar to summarize live and historical market activity. By condensing key metrics into a structured format, traders can analyse market behaviour without manually calculating or switching between multiple indicators.
________________________________________
How the Script Works
1. Data Gathering
The script uses lower-timeframe price and volume data to calculate buy volume, sell volume, and total traded volume for the current and previous candles.
2. Volume Allocation
Buy and sell volumes are estimated by looking at the candle’s range (high to low) and how the closing price aligns within that range. The closer the close is to the high, the stronger the buying pressure. The closer the close is to the low, the stronger the selling pressure.
3. Delta and Momentum
o Delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume.
o Volume momentum compares the current candle’s activity to the previous one, showing if interest is rising or fading.
4. Point of Control (POC)
An average of high, low, and close is calculated to give an approximate “point of control” level—an area of balance where buyers and sellers previously agreed on price.
5. Dashboard Visualization
All these calculations are displayed inside a clean dashboard table with separate rows for the current candle, previous candle, and a summary row. Icons, colors, and progress bars make it visually intuitive.
6. On-Chart Progress Indicator
A dynamic horizontal progress bar is plotted on the chart above price, showing the balance between buy and sell volume for the latest activity.
7. Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger when strong buying or selling pressure is detected or when there is a significant spike in total traded volume.
________________________________________
How This Tool Can Be Used
• Intraday Trading: Quickly gauge whether buyers or sellers are in control of the market at any moment.
• Swing Trading: Compare momentum shifts between candles to identify early trend reversals.
• Risk Management: Use delta and sentiment signals to confirm whether to hold or reduce exposure.
• Confirmation: Align the volume profile dashboard with other indicators (such as RSI, MACD, or trendlines) for stronger trading conviction.
________________________________________
Using Mixed Indicators for Decisions
This dashboard alone provides volume insights, but better decisions come when it is combined with other tools:
• Pairing it with an RSI can show whether heavy buying is happening in overbought conditions.
• Combining with a SuperTrend or moving averages can confirm if volume momentum aligns with the price trend.
• Overlaying support/resistance levels can identify whether strong buy/sell signals occur at critical levels.
Mixed indicators prevent relying on one signal alone, reducing false trades.
________________________________________
Importance of This Tool
• Clarity: Condenses complex volume data into a simple, visual format.
• Speed: Traders can react faster with pre-calculated buy/sell percentages.
• Precision: Highlights hidden imbalances that are not obvious from candles alone.
• Professional-grade dashboard: Offers an institutional-style view of market behavior directly within TradingView.
________________________________________
Parameters in the Dashboard Table
• Period: Shows whether the row is for the current or previous candle, along with trend arrows.
• Price Range: The high–low range of the candle.
• Total Volume: The sum of buy and sell activity.
• Buy Volume / Sell Volume: Separated distribution of transactions leaning bullish or bearish.
• Delta: The net difference between buy and sell volumes, highlighting pressure imbalance.
• Buy % / Sell %: The percentage contribution of each side to total volume.
• POC: An average reference level where market consensus was strongest.
• Progress: A graphical bar showing buy vs sell dominance.
• Signal: Simplified output like Strong Buy, Buy, Strong Sell, Sell, Neutral.
• Summary Row: Compares changes between the current and previous candles and gives overall market sentiment.

iFVG (BPR)
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inversion Zones (iFVGs) based concept from the ICT methodology.
An iFVG forms when a bullish and a bearish FVG overlap, creating a double imbalance zone. These are high-reaction points often targeted by smart money.
🔷 What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When the high of Candle 1 is lower than the low of Candle 3
Bearish FVG: When the low of Candle 1 is higher than the high of Candle 3
iFVG (or BPR): When a bullish and bearish FVG overlap, forming a double imbalance zone
🔷Mitigation Logic
An FVG or BPR becomes an iFVG when price closes against its original bias Once this happens, the zone is reclassified as a potential support or resistance (iFVG)
If price later mitigates the iFVG, all visual elements are automatically removed to keep the chart clean
🔷Visual Output
Standard FVGs: Customizable lines between Candle 1 and Candle 3
iFVGs (mitigated BPRs): Adjustable and highlighted rectangles to show the full zone
Mitigation Type: FVG or iFVG zones disappear when 50% of the zone is reached
🔷Custom Settings
Show Last Zones: Set how many recent zones to display on the chart (max 100)
Mitigation Type: Based on the percentage of zone coverage
Color & Style: Customize the appearance of FVG and iFVG zones
🔷 Use Case
This indicator is designed for real-time institutional analysis, helping traders identify:
Recent imbalances (FVGs)
Confluence zones (iFVGs = BPRs)
High-reaction points in the market
Ideal when combined with market structure, liquidity levels, and Kill Zones
Best used in combination with market structure, liquidity zones, and Kill Zone timing .
Akkerman IMB + Targets IndicatorAkkerman IMB + Targets Indicator
The Akkerman IMB + Targets Indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use the Smart Money Concept (SMC) methodology for intraday trading. This indicator combines several key elements of technical analysis, such as IMB (Imbalance) zones, liquidity zones, and intraday targets, to help traders identify significant levels on the chart for potential entry and exit points.
Main Features of the Indicator:
IMB (Imbalance) Zones:
The indicator detects IMB zones (imbalances) on the chart, which are often significant for the market because these zones can signal unsupported price moves where the market may either retrace or continue the move.
Green box — indicates a bullish IMB, where the price moves downward but does not reach the previous "low" level.
Red box — indicates a bearish IMB, where the price moves upward but does not reach the previous "high" level.
Liquidity Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones, which are critical levels for potential retracements or breakouts. These zones are determined by equal highs and lows on the chart (where the price has made similar highs or lows).
Triangles or lines highlight levels where significant buy or sell orders might be gathered.
Intraday Target Lines:
The indicator generates targets for intraday trading based on support and resistance levels over the last 10 periods.
These target lines on the chart indicate potential entry or exit points based on the lowest and highest prices over the past 10 bars, which represent key points for trading within the current session.
Indicator Settings:
Show IMB: Toggle to show or hide IMB zones on the chart.
Show Liquidity Zones: Toggle to show or hide liquidity zones on the chart.
Show Targets (Intraday): Toggle to show or hide intraday target lines.
Max Targets (maxTargets): Set the maximum number of targets to display on the chart.
How to Use:
IMB Zones help identify potential retracement or breakout zones on the market. These zones are a critical part of Smart Money analysis, as markets often retrace to these areas after significant price moves.
Liquidity Zones provide clues about where large orders may be gathered, which could lead to a retracement or breakout.
Intraday Targets assist in identifying important levels for entering or exiting trades within the current session to take advantage of short-term price movements.
Important Notes:
This indicator works best on the 1-hour timeframe (H1) for more accurate and stable signals.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical indicators and analysis methods.
2022 Model ICT Entry Strategy [TradingFinder] One Setup For Life🔵 Introduction
The ICT 2022 model, introduced by Michael Huddleston, is an advanced trading strategy rooted in liquidity and price imbalance, where time and price serve as the core elements. This ICT 2022 trading strategy is an algorithmic approach designed to analyze liquidity and imbalances in the market. It incorporates concepts such as Fair Value Gap (FVG), Liquidity Sweep, and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to help traders identify liquidity movements and structural changes in the market, enabling them to determine optimal entry and exit points for their trades.
This Full ICT Day Trading Model empowers traders to pinpoint the Previous Day High/Low as well as the highs and lows of critical sessions like the London and New York sessions. These levels act as Liquidity Zones, which are frequently swept prior to a market structure shift (MSS) or a retracement to areas such as Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT 2022 model is a sophisticated trading strategy that focuses on identifying key liquidity levels and price movements. It operates based on two main principles. In the first phase, the price approaches liquidity zones and sweeps critical levels such as the previous day’s high or low and key session levels.
This movement is known as a Liquidity Sweep. In the second phase, following the sweep, the price retraces to areas like the FVG (Fair Value Gap), creating ideal entry points for trades. Below is a detailed explanation of how to apply this strategy in bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To use the ICT 2022 model in a bullish setup, start by identifying the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as those of the London or New York sessions. In a bullish setup, the price usually moves downward first, sweeping the Liquidity Low. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, reflects the collection of buy orders by major market participants.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure and start moving upward; this shift, referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS), signals the beginning of an upward trend. Following MSS, areas like FVG, located within the Discount Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these zones. Once the price returns, a long trade is executed.
Finally, the stop-loss should be set below the liquidity low to manage risk, while the take-profit target is usually placed above the previous day’s high or other identified liquidity levels. This structure enables traders to take advantage of the upward price movement after the liquidity sweep.
🟣 Bearish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To identify a bearish setup in the ICT 2022 model, begin by marking the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as the London or New York sessions. In this scenario, the price typically moves upward first, sweeping the Liquidity High. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, signifies the collection of sell orders by key market players.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure downward. This movement, called the Market Structure Shift (MSS), indicates the start of a downtrend. Following MSS, areas such as FVG, found within the Premium Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these areas. Once the price revisits these zones, a short trade is executed.
In this setup, the stop-loss should be placed above the liquidity high to control risk, while the take-profit target is typically set below the previous day’s low or another defined liquidity level. This approach allows traders to capitalize on the downward price movement following the liquidity sweep.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT 2022 model is a comprehensive and advanced trading strategy designed around key concepts such as liquidity, price imbalance, and market structure shifts (MSS). By focusing on the sweep of critical levels such as the previous day’s high/low and important trading sessions like London and New York, this strategy enables traders to predict market movements with greater precision.
The use of tools like FVG in this model helps traders fine-tune their entry and exit points and take advantage of bullish and bearish trends after liquidity sweeps. Moreover, combining this strategy with precise timing during key trading sessions allows traders to minimize risk and maximize returns.
In conclusion, the ICT 2022 model emphasizes the importance of time and liquidity, making it a powerful tool for both professional and novice traders. By applying the principles of this model, you can make more informed trading decisions and seize opportunities in financial markets more effectively.

ICT Killzones Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Killzones Toolkit is a comprehensive set of tools designed to assist traders in identifying key trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Killzones Toolkit includes the following Price Action components:
ICT Killzones with Pivot Highs/Lows
Order Blocks
Breaker Blocks
Fair Value Gaps
Market Structure Shifts
By combining these components, the ICT Killzones Toolkit provides traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the market and identifying setups of interest. Leveraging these tools effectively can enhance traders' decision-making process and improve killzones interpretability.
🔶 USAGE
In forex/futures trading, timing is crucial. ICT Killzone are specific periods when there's a higher chance of finding setups of interest. Mastering these time intervals can offer significant advantages to traders who know how to use them effectively.
The image above highlights a potential setup of interest when using the ICT Killzones Toolkit.
As another example for utilizing the ICT Killzones Toolkit, we can see in the image above when price retests setups generated from killzones such as Order Blocks or Fair Value Gaps, a potential strategy could be to look for entries on those & take profits as the next killzone appears.
🔹 Order Blocks
Order Blocks are sections on a price chart where notable buying or selling activity has occured, often signaling interest zones for institutional traders. This toolkit's Order Blocks component pinpoints these areas within the Killzone, which may act as potential support or resistance levels.
🔹 Breaker Blocks
Breaker Blocks are zones built from mitigated order blocks, and highlight zones on the chart where price has previously stalled or reversed. These areas may act as significant barriers to price movement in the future, and the Breaker Blocks component helps traders identify them for potential trading opportunities.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps are especially favored by price action traders and arise from market inefficiencies or imbalances, typically when buying and selling are unequal. These gaps often attract price movement before resuming in the same direction. the Fair Value Gaps component of the toolkit helps traders identify and analyze them.
🔹 Market Structure Shifts
Market Structure Shifts refer to significant changes in the overall structure of the market, such as shifts in trend direction, volatility, or trading activity. These shifts can provide valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trading opportunities, and the Market Structure Shifts component helps traders identify and interpret them.
Overall, the ICT Killzone Toolkit combines these components to provide traders with a comprehensive framework for analyzing the markets and identifying high-probability trading setups.

Fair Value Gap [LuxAlgo]Fair value gaps (FVG) highlight imbalances areas between market participants and have become popular amongst technical analysts. The following script aims to display fair value gaps alongside the percentage of filled gaps and the average duration (in bars) before gaps are filled.
Users can be alerted when an FVG is filled using the alerts built into this script.
🔶 USAGE
In practice, FVG's highlight areas of support (bullish FVG) and resistances (bearish FVG). Once a gap is filled, suggesting the end of the imbalance, we can expect the price to reverse.
This approach is more contrarian in nature, users wishing to use a more trend-following approach can use the identification of FVG as direct signals, going long with the identification of a bullish FVG, and short with a bearish FVG.
🔹 Mitigation
By default, the script highlights the areas of only unmitigated FVG's. Users can however highlight the mitigation level of mitigated FVG's, that is the lower extremity of bullish FVG's and the upper extremity of bearish FVG's.
The user can track the evolution of a mitigated FVG's using the "Dynamic" setting.
🔹 Threshold
The gap height can be used to determine the degree of imbalance between buying and selling market participants. Users can filter fair value gaps based on the gap height using the "Threshold %" setting. Using the "Auto" will make use of an automatic threshold, only keeping more volatile FVG's.
🔶 DETAILS
We use the following rules for detecting FVG's in this script:
Bullish FVG
low > high(t-2)
close(t-1) > high(t-2)
(low - high(t-2)) / high(t-2) > threshold
Upper Bullish FVG = low
Lower Bullish FVG = high(t-2)
Bearish FVG
high < low(t-2)
close(t-1) < low(t-2)
(low(t-2) - high) / high < -threshold
Upper Bearish FVG = low(t-2)

Rally/Drop Market Structure (Multi-Timeframe)Rally/Drop Market Structure
Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.
Logistic Regression ICT FVG🚀 OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Logistic Regression Fair Value Gap (FVG) System — a next-gen trading tool that blends precision gap detection with machine learning intelligence.
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this one evolves with each bar of price action, scoring and filtering gaps based on real market behavior.
🔧 CORE FEATURES
✨ Smart Gap Detection
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using volatility-aware candle logic.
📊 Probability-Based Filtering
Uses logistic regression to assign each gap a confidence score (0 to 1), showing only high-probability setups.
🔁 Real-Time Retest Tracking
Continuously watches how price interacts with each gap to determine if it deserves respect.
📈 Multi-Factor Assessment
Evaluates RSI, MACD, and body size at gap formation to build a full context snapshot.
🧠 Self-Learning Engine
The logistic regression model updates on each bar using gradient descent, refining its predictions over time.
📢 Built-In Alerts
Get instant alerts when a gap forms, gets retested, or breaks.
🎨 Custom Display Options
Control the color of bullish/bearish zones, and toggle on/off probability labels for cleaner charts.
🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator.
While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones.
By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Detection
FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances.
2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring
Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set.
3️⃣ Context Capture
Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction.
4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression)
The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score.
5️⃣ Classification & Alerts
Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL
🔧 System Inputs
• Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model
• Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart
• Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009)
• Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps
• Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps
🎨 Visual Options
• Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style
• Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs
• Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:
– New FVG detected
– FVG respected (entry)
– FVG invalidated (break)
💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes.
This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone.
Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs.
That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.
TJR SEEK AND DESTROYTJR SEEK AND DESTROY – Intraday ICT Trading Tool
Built for day traders, TJR SEEK AND DESTROY combines Smart Money concepts like order blocks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps with structure breaks and daily bias to pinpoint high-probability trades during US market hours (9:30–16:00). Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.
