TQ's Support & Resistance(My goal creating this indicator): Provide a way to categorize and label key structures on multiple different levels so I can create a plan based on those observable facts.
The Underlying Concept / What is Momentum?
Momentum indicates transaction pressure. If the algorithm detects price is going up, that would be considered positive momentum. If the algorithm detects price is going down negative momentum would be detected.
The Momentum shown is derived from a price action pattern. Unlike my previous Support & Resistance indicator that used Super Trend, this indicator uses a unique pattern I created. On the first bar bearish momentum is detected a resistance Level is made at the highest point of the previous bullish condition. On the first bar bullish momentum is detected a support Level is made at the lowest point of the previous bearish condition. This happens on 5 different Momentum Levels, (short-term to long-term). I currently use this pattern to trade so the source code is protected.
What is Severity?
Severity is How we differentiate the importance of different Highs and Lows. If Momentum is detected on a higher level the Supply or Demand Level is updated. The Color and Size representing that Level will be shown. Demand and Supply Levels made by higher levels are more SEVERE than a demand level made by a lower level.
Technical Inputs
- to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels change BAR_INDEX. BAR_INDEX creates a buffer at the start of the chart. For example: If you set BAR_INDEX to 300. The script will wait for 300 bars to elapse on the current chart before running. This allows the script more time to gather data. Which is needed in order for our dynamic lookback length to never return an error (Dynamic lookback length can't be negative or zero). The lower the timeframe the greater the number of bars need. For Example, if I open up a 1min chart I would enter 5000 as my BAR_INDEX since that will provide enough data to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels. If I was on a daily chart, I would enter a lower number such as 800. Don't be afraid to play around with this.
- Toggle options (Close) or (High & Low) creates Support and Resistance Levels using the Lowest close and Highest close or using the Lowest low and Highest high.
Level Inputs
- The indicator has 5 Different Levels indicating SEVEREITY of a Supply and Demand Levels. The higher the Level the more SEVERE the Level.
Display Inputs
- You have the option to customize the Length, Width, Line Style, and Colors of all 5 different
- This indicator includes a Trend Chart. To Easily verify the current trend of any displayed by this indicator toggle on Chart On/Off. You also get the option to change the Chart Position and the size of the Trend Chart
How Trend Is being Determined?
(Close > Current Supply Level) if this statement is true technically price made a HH, so the trend is bullish.
(Close < Current Demand Level) if this statement is true technically price made a LL, so the trend is bearish.
- Fully customize how you display Market Structure on different levels. Line Length, Line Width, Line Style, and Line color can all be customized.

Delta Magnet Zone Extended – Selective HideLiquidity Zone Reversal — Description 🔍📊
This indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones where price previously grabbed orders, swept highs/lows, or created strong reaction points. Instead of plotting thin lines, this version converts those levels into zones, giving traders a clearer view of where the market has unfinished business and where future reactions are likely to occur.
These zones act as institutional magnets — areas where liquidity providers, algos, and larger players commonly enter or exit positions.
How It Works ⚙️💡
The script scans recent price action and detects local swing highs and lows. It then builds rectangular liquidity zones around these levels, extending them forward so you can see:
🟥 Bearish liquidity sweep zones
🟩 Bullish liquidity sweep zones
🔁 Areas where price previously failed, rejected, or consolidated
🎯 Potential reversal targets on both sides of the market
These zones update automatically as new structure forms, giving you an always-current map of market memory.
Why the 9-Day Look-Back Is Powerful (My Default) 📅✨
I personally keep the look-back set to 9 days by default because:
✔️ It captures the entire previous trading week
✔️ It maps out where SPY/QQQ/ES has already tapped liquidity
✔️ It shows the true zones institutions defended
✔️ It reveals where price is most likely to react again moving forward
Using a 9-day window gives you a clean, high-signal map of:
Last week’s highs & lows
Prior liquidity sweeps
Rejection zones
Imbalance cleanup levels
This keeps the chart minimal, powerful, and hyper-relevant to current order flow.
How Traders Use These Zones 🎯📈
Here are the most common ways traders use these liquidity zones:
1️⃣ Identify High-Probability Reversal Areas 🔄
Price often reacts strongly when returning to a past liquidity zone — especially if it previously swept stops there.
2️⃣ Confirm Breakouts or Failures 🚪➡️
Break above a bearish zone?
Momentum continuation is likely.
Reject inside a zone?
Reversal or range expansion often follows.
3️⃣ Set Targets & Stop Placement 🎯🛡️
Zones give logical:
Profit targets
Trend exhaustion points
Areas to avoid entering new trades
4️⃣ Time 0DTE Scalps With Precision ⚡
Liquidity zones tighten your expectations for:
Where SPY/QQQ will bounce
Where reversals start
Where liquidity magnets pull price by end of day
Why This Indicator Matters 🧠🔥
Liquidity drives markets.
Not indicators.
Not moving averages.
Not random levels.
This tool shows you where actual orders exist, where they were previously swept, and where institutions are most likely to step in again.
It gives you:
Cleaner charts
Higher confidence
Better strike selection
More precise entries
Stronger exits
All without noise.
Directional Pressure (maybexo)Liquidity Candles, observed in financial markets, display distinctive candlestick patterns that are noteworthy. These candles exhibit intentional price behavior aimed at triggering stop-loss orders and momentarily misleading traders. The pattern typically starts with a price movement against the current trend, activating stop-loss orders and capitalizing on liquidity from traders anticipating the prevailing trend. Subsequently, the price swiftly changes course, breaking and conclusively closing beyond the prior candle's range, often surprising unsuspecting traders.
Characteristics:
1. Liquidity Grab:
- Liquidity Candles initiate with a deliberate move against the existing trend, aimed at triggering stop-loss orders and gathering liquidity from traders who have placed stops in anticipation of the initial trend.
- Notably, the size of the wick in this liquidity grab is significant; a larger wick indicates a more substantial liquidity grab and can strengthen the indication of a potential market reversal.
2. Swift Reversal and Breakout:
- Following the liquidity grab, the price swiftly changes direction, breaking and conclusively closing above or below the previous candle's range.
3. Institutional Behavior:
- These candles are often linked to institutional trading behavior, suggesting potential involvement by significant market participants due to their distinct and deliberate price action.
// Diamonds
1. RSI Diamonds:
The RSI Diamonds represent RSI entering either overbought or oversold levels.
These Diamonds serve as an early indication for "Spooky Diamonds" as Spooky Diamonds can only form in these conditions
2. Spooky Diamonds:
The Spooky Diamonds highlight specific candle conditions, aiding in the identification of bullish or bearish momentum in the market while considering the RSI status.
Bullish Candle Momentum: The candle size is greater than the previous candle multiplied by a user-defined factor (filterMultiplier) and the closing price is higher than the opening price. This can suggest bullish momentum.
Bearish Candle Momentum: The candle size is greater than the previous candle multiplied by the filterMultiplier, and the closing price is lower than the opening price. This can suggest bearish momentum.
Important Notes:
The Candles + Diamonds should not be used in isolation as buy or sell signals but rather as additional information for your trading strategy.
The goal of this indicator is to provide a visual representation of RSI data and potential momentum during overbought or oversold conditions.
By utilizing the diamonds and candles, you can easily identify RSI levels and their interaction with candles, aiding in decision-making within your trading strategy.
Disclaimer: Always consider your risk tolerance and conduct thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

Volume-Weighted Price MovementThe Volume-Weighted Price Movement (VWPM) indicator is an easy to read technical analysis tool that analyses how volume and price movement work together to drive market momentum.
How It Works
The VWPM indicator tracks two primary components:
Bullish Movement (green line): Measures the upward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes above the open, this component calculates how much buying pressure exists by multiplying the price change (close - open) by the volume of that period.
Bearish Movement (red line): Measures the downward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes below the open, this component calculates how much selling pressure exists by multiplying the price change (open - close) by the volume of that period.
Bull-Bear Difference (lime/orange line): Shows the net momentum by subtracting bearish movement from bullish movement, providing an at-a-glance view of which force is dominant.
The VWPM integrates volume data to identify whether price movements are backed by significant participation. A large price move with low volume carries less weight than the same move with high volume, providing a more accurate reflection of market strength.
A shorter lookback period makes the indicator more responsive to recent price action, while a longer period smooths out market noise for trend identification.
Interpretation
Bullish Signals
When the green line (bull movement) rises and stays above the red line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses above zero and maintains positive momentum
Divergence between price making lower lows but the bull line making higher lows (hidden strength)
Bearish Signals
When the red line (bear movement) rises and stays above the green line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses below zero and maintains negative momentum
Divergence between price making higher highs but the bull line making lower highs (hidden weakness)

Liquidity Levels [LuxAlgo]The Peak Activity Levels indicator displays support and resistance levels from prices accompanied by significant volume. The indicator includes a histogram returning the frequency of closing prices falling between two parallel levels, each bin shows the number of bullish candles within the levels.
1. Settings
Length: Lookback for the detection of volume peaks.
Number Of Levels: Determines the number of levels to display.
Levels Color Mode: Determines how the levels should be colored. "Relative" will color the levels based on their location relative to the current price. "Random" will apply a random color to each level. "Fixed" will use a single color for each level.
Levels Style: Style of the displayed levels. Styles include solid, dashed, and dotted.
1.1 Histogram
Show Histogram: Determines whether to display the histogram or not.
Histogram Window: Lookback period of the histogram calculation.
Bins Colors: Control the color of the histogram bins.
2. Usage
The indicator can be used to display ready-to-use support and resistance. These are constructed from peaks in volume. When a peak occurs, we take the price where this peak occurred and use it as the value for our level.
If one of the levels was previously tested, we can hypothesize that the level might be used as support/resistance in the future. Additional analysis using volume can be done in order to confirm a potential bounce.
The histogram can return various information to the user. It can show if the price stayed within two levels for a long time and if the price within two levels was mostly made of bullish or bearish candles.
In the chart above, we can see that over the most recent 200 bars (determined by Histogram Window) 68 closing prices fall between levels A and B, with 27 bars being bullish.
Additionally, the width of a bin and its length can sometimes give information about the volatility of a specific price variation. If a bin is very wide but short (a low number of closing prices fallen within the levels) then we can conclude a most of the movement was done on a short amount of time.
SLO Pro-J-Algo # Smart Liquidity & OTE Analysis Tool
## OVERVIEW
This indicator is designed for traders who utilize institutional trading concepts, specifically liquidity sweeps and optimal trade entry (OTE) zones, combined with session-based market structure analysis. It identifies potential market manipulation points where stop losses are likely clustered, and highlights high-probability entry zones based on Fibonacci retracements.
The tool combines four main analytical components that work synergistically to identify trading opportunities aligned with smart money behavior.
---
## CORE CONCEPTS & METHODOLOGY
### 1. TRADING SESSIONS ANALYSIS
**What it does:**
The indicator tracks three major forex trading sessions with customizable time zones:
- **Asian Session** (Default: 01:00-13:00 UTC+4) - Typically characterized by range-bound price action
- **London Session** (Default: 11:00-20:00 UTC+4) - High volatility period with increased institutional activity
- **New York Session** (Default: 17:00-00:00 UTC+4) - Overlaps with London creating peak liquidity
**How it works:**
- Automatically highlights active sessions with colored background boxes
- Draws session high/low lines which often act as intraday support/resistance
- Identifies session overlaps (e.g., London-NY overlap) where volatility and liquidity are highest
- Color-codes the price bars during overlaps to alert traders to increased opportunity periods
- Displays real-time session status (🟢 Open / 🔴 Closed) for quick reference
**Trading Application:**
Session highs and lows frequently become liquidity targets. The indicator helps traders anticipate when price might sweep these levels before continuing in the original direction. Session overlaps are prime times for major moves as multiple institutional players are active simultaneously.
---
### 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY SWEEPS
**What it does:**
Identifies when price "sweeps" or breaks beyond significant swing highs and lows where stop losses are typically clustered. These sweeps often precede reversals or continuations after liquidity is collected.
**How it works:**
- Scans the previous 20 bars (configurable) to identify swing high and low points
- Marks these levels as "buyside liquidity" (above highs) or "sellside liquidity" (below lows)
- Monitors price action using three detection methods:
* **Wick Break:** Any candle wick extending beyond the liquidity level
* **Close Break:** Candle body closing beyond the level (stronger confirmation)
* **Full Retrace:** Price breaks the level then closes back inside the range (classic liquidity grab)
- Uses an ATR-based buffer to avoid false signals from minor price spikes
- Confirms sweeps only after a configurable number of confirmation bars to reduce repainting
**The Logic Behind It:**
Institutional traders need liquidity to fill large orders. Stop losses clustered above swing highs and below swing lows provide this liquidity. When these levels are swept, it often indicates smart money is entering positions in the opposite direction, causing reversals.
**Visual Representation:**
- Blue horizontal lines mark buyside liquidity zones (above price)
- Gray horizontal lines mark sellside liquidity zones (below price)
- Labels indicate when liquidity has been swept (✓) or remains active
- Historical zones are maintained for context (configurable display limit)
---
### 3. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY DETECTION
**What it does:**
Identifies equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) within recent price action - levels that have been tested multiple times without breaking. These represent internal liquidity pools that price often revisits before making larger moves.
**How it works:**
- Examines the most recent 8 bars (configurable) for price levels that occur multiple times
- Uses an ATR-based threshold (default 0.1% of ATR) to determine if highs or lows are "equal"
- Requires minimum 3 occurrences (configurable) of the same level to qualify as internal liquidity
- Tracks both the creation and sweeping of these internal levels
- Differentiates between wick breaks and close breaks for sweep confirmation
**The Concept:**
Unlike external liquidity at swing points, internal liquidity represents recent stop clusters and pending orders within the current price structure. Identifying these levels helps traders anticipate short-term price targets and potential reversal points before larger directional moves.
**Why This Matters:**
Price often needs to clear internal liquidity before making sustained moves to external liquidity levels. This creates a "roadmap" of where price is likely to go in sequence, improving trade timing.
**Visual Representation:**
- Cyan lines mark internal buyside liquidity (equal highs)
- Orange lines mark internal sellside liquidity (equal lows)
- Dashed or solid lines based on user preference
- Labels show when internal levels are swept
---
### 4. OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES
**What it does:**
Calculates and displays Fibonacci retracement zones (0.618-0.786) from recent swing points, representing "discount" or "premium" areas where institutional traders often enter positions after a liquidity sweep or structure break.
**How it works:**
- Identifies swing highs and lows using a 10-bar lookback period (configurable)
- Calculates three key Fibonacci levels:
* **0.618** - The "golden ratio" retracement (most significant)
* **0.705** - Mid-point between 0.618 and 0.786
* **0.786** - Deep retracement level (square root of 0.618)
- Optionally requires a structure break before displaying OTE zones
- Dynamically extends zones as new price action develops
- Tracks whether price has entered the zone (✅) or exited without filling (❌)
- Displays up to 2 most recent zones (configurable) to avoid chart clutter
**The Methodology:**
OTE zones represent areas where price is at a "discount" (for longs) or "premium" (for shorts) relative to the recent swing. After a liquidity sweep or structure break, institutional traders often wait for retracements into these zones before entering, as it offers better risk-to-reward ratios.
**Combining with Liquidity:**
The most powerful setups occur when:
1. External liquidity is swept
2. Price retraces into an OTE zone
3. Internal liquidity is present as a target
This confluence suggests smart money activity and high-probability trade opportunities.
**Visual Representation:**
- Shaded blue zone between 0.618 and 0.786 levels
- Three horizontal lines showing key Fibonacci levels with different colors/styles
- Labels (🎯) indicate bullish or bearish OTE zones
- Entry (✅) and exit (❌) status for each zone
---
## WHY THESE FEATURES WORK TOGETHER
This indicator combines these four components because they represent different stages of institutional trading behavior:
1. **Session Timing** - Identifies WHEN institutional activity is highest
2. **Liquidity Sweeps** - Shows WHERE smart money is collecting liquidity
3. **OTE Zones** - Highlights WHERE institutional entries likely occur after sweeps
4. **Internal Liquidity** - Provides SHORT-TERM targets for profit-taking or add-ons
Rather than using each concept in isolation, this integration creates a complete market structure framework. For example:
- A buyside liquidity sweep during London open →
- Followed by a retrace into a bullish OTE zone →
- With internal sellside liquidity as the initial target
This sequence represents a complete high-probability trade setup aligned with smart money principles.
---
## ANTI-REPAINTING FEATURES
**The Repainting Problem:**
Many indicators that identify patterns on historical data repaint their signals when live trading, showing signals that weren't actually there in real-time. This creates a false sense of accuracy.
**Our Solution:**
- **Confirmation Bars Setting:** Signals only appear after X bars have confirmed the pattern (default: 2 bars)
- **Marked Confirmation:** Labels show "C" when using confirmed signals
- **Trade-off:** More confirmation = less repainting but slightly delayed signals
- **User Control:** Traders can toggle between real-time signals (faster but may repaint) and confirmed signals (delayed but reliable)
---
## KEY CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

---
## HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### Basic Setup
1. Add the indicator to your chart (works on all timeframes, though 5M-1H recommended for intraday)
2. Enable the features you want to use via Master Controls
3. Adjust colors and transparency to match your chart preferences
4. Configure alert preferences if using notifications
### Trading Workflow
**Step 1: Identify the Session**
- Determine which trading session is active or approaching
- Note session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets
- Be especially alert during session overlaps
**Step 2: Watch for Liquidity Sweeps**
- Monitor external liquidity lines (swing highs/lows)
- When price sweeps liquidity, anticipate a potential reversal
- Stronger sweeps (close breaks + full retraces) are more significant
**Step 3: Wait for OTE Retracement**
- After a sweep, wait for price to retrace into the OTE zone (0.618-0.786)
- Bullish OTE after sellside sweep = potential long
- Bearish OTE after buyside sweep = potential short
**Step 4: Use Internal Liquidity as Targets**
- Look for internal liquidity in the direction of your trade
- These serve as initial profit targets
- External liquidity serves as extended targets
**Step 5: Manage Confirmation Settings**
- For live trading, use confirmed signals (2+ confirmation bars)
- For backtesting or analysis, you may use real-time signals
- Note that confirmed signals appear with "C" marking
### Example Trade Scenarios
**Bullish Setup:**
1. London session opens (increased volume)
2. Price sweeps sellside liquidity below Asian low
3. Price retraces into bullish OTE zone (0.618-0.786 of the sweep move)
4. Target internal buyside liquidity, then external buyside liquidity
**Bearish Setup:**
1. NY session overlap with London (peak liquidity)
2. Price sweeps buyside liquidity above recent high
3. Price retraces into bearish OTE zone
4. Target internal sellside liquidity, then session lows

Liquidity_Detection_Fx_Shepherd [ALLDYN]### Breakdown of the Basic "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" Script
#### 1. **Purpose of the Script:**
This basic version of the "Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity" script is designed to help traders detect potential liquidity grabs by analyzing price movements and candle patterns in the market. It works by identifying large price deviations and compares multiple candles to detect liquidity sweeps either to the upside or downside.
#### 2. **How it Works:**
- **User Inputs:**
- `Maru_rate`: This is a user-defined percentage that helps determine how much the price movement of a candle needs to deviate from the candle's range (high - low) to be considered a liquidity grab.
- `Compare`: Another percentage input used to compare the relative size of three candles versus one candle.
- `MA`: This represents the "Big candle period," or the moving average period for big candles.
- `urgent_rate`: This is used to determine urgency by comparing the current candle's range to an SMA of previous candles.
- **Key Calculation Steps:**
- **Candle Deviation (Up and Down):**
- `Up` measures how much the current candle closes above its open (bullish deviation).
- `Down` measures how much the current candle closes below its open (bearish deviation).
- **Average Deviations:**
- `UP_Sum` and `Do_Sum` calculate the SMA of Up and Down deviations, respectively, over the defined period (MA). These averages help detect when a candle deviates significantly from the norm.
- **Urgency Detection:**
- `Check_Up_Urgent` and `Check_Dow_Urgent` are conditions that check if the current candle’s high-low range exceeds the defined urgent rate. This signals whether the price movement is "urgent" or significant.
- **Liquidity Detection:**
- **For Upward Liquidity:**
- The script checks if the candle is bullish (`close > open`) and whether the price deviation (`close - open`) meets or exceeds the user-defined `Maru_rate`.
- The script then compares the size of the previous three candles (`high - low`) with a single candle (`Compare`) to confirm a liquidity grab.
- Finally, it looks for continuous upward candle patterns to confirm the strength of the move.
- **For Downward Liquidity:**
- Similar logic applies, but for bearish candles. It checks whether the candle is bearish (`close < open`) and applies the same size comparisons to detect downward liquidity grabs.
- **Candle Highlighting:**
- If the conditions for a liquidity grab are met (both urgency and size), the script changes the bar color to green for upward liquidity and yellow for downward liquidity. These colored bars visually highlight the candles that meet the liquidity grab conditions.
- The script also colors up to three consecutive candles if they meet the liquidity grab conditions (offset = -1, -2).
#### 3. **Benefits of Using This Script:**
- **Liquidity Grab Detection:**
This script helps detect potential liquidity grabs, which occur when large players in the market push the price in a direction to trigger stop-losses or lure retail traders into a position before reversing the price direction. By detecting these movements, traders can avoid being trapped and potentially take advantage of the upcoming reversal.
- **Simple & Lightweight:**
The script uses basic inputs and calculations to detect liquidity grabs, making it easy to use and understand. It's less complex than the advanced version, which makes it suitable for traders who prefer simplicity or are new to liquidity grab detection.
- **Visual Clarity:**
The script uses color changes (green for upward grabs and yellow for downward grabs) to help traders easily spot potential liquidity grab areas on the chart. These visual cues make it more straightforward to interpret.
#### 4. **When to Use This Basic Version:**
- **Quick Liquidity Detection:** This script is ideal for traders who need a quick way to detect potential liquidity grabs without the complexity of managing dynamic parameters or volume confirmation.
- **Simplified Trading Strategies:** If your trading strategy doesn’t rely heavily on volume or multi-timeframe liquidity grab adjustments, this script can work well for basic setups where price action is the primary indicator.
- **Faster Execution:** Since this version doesn’t require dynamic adjustments or volume confirmation, it executes faster, making it suitable for traders who need lightweight tools to stay on top of fast-moving markets.
### Conclusion:
The basic version of the **Fx_Shepherd_Liquidity** script offers a simplified tool for detecting potential liquidity grabs. Its straightforward design, adjustable Maru rate, and visual bar color changes make it easy to integrate into any trading strategy focused on price action. While it lacks the advanced features of the premium version, it serves as a solid, lightweight solution for traders who prefer simplicity over complexity.
Bitcoin Power Law Global Liqudity Model by G. SantostasiIn recent studies, we've observed a notable correlation between Bitcoin's price and global liquidity metrics. This relationship reveals significant insights into Bitcoin's price movements and offers a new perspective on using macroeconomic indicators to understand and predict Bitcoin's market trends.
Our analysis shows that Bitcoin's price exhibits periodic bubbles, which seem closely associated with oscillations in global liquidity. Notably, the overall price path of Bitcoin appears to be a complex function of global liquidity. This relationship is not as simple as the Bitcoin Power Law in time that can be described with a simple equation, Price ∼ time⁶.
Instead, we have developed a polynomial model to describe this complex relationship between liquidity and Bitcoin price. With a 4-degree polynomial (with 5 different parameters needed to fit the data), we can get a decent fit to the data.
The fit is obtained using 500 data points by polynomial regression. The vector coefficients of the polynomial are obtained such that the sum of squared error between the observations and theoretical polynomial model is minimized.
This model needs to be taken with a grain of salt given the warning by famous mathematician Von Neumann: "With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk." discussing a model created by Italian Physicist Fermi. By this he meant that the Fermi simulations relied on too many input parameters, presupposing an overfitting phenomenon.
We can still gain some insights into the relationship between Global Liquidity and the price evolution of Bitcoin using this complex model.
When the price of Bitcoin is plotted against our global liquidity index, we observe a polynomial relationship. This model allows us to see when Bitcoin's price deviates significantly from the predicted value based on global liquidity:
Above the Model: When Bitcoin's price is above the polynomial fit, it indicates a potential lack of sufficient liquidity to support the current price level, suggesting a likely correction.
Below the Model: Conversely, when the price is below the fit, it implies that liquidity might be higher than what is reflected in the price, indicating potential upward movement.
Our global liquidity index comprises several key macroeconomic metrics from major financial institutions worldwide. Here are some of the major components:
RRP (Reverse Repurchase Agreements): This metric indicates the level of liquidity in the financial system through temporary sales of securities with an agreement to repurchase them.
FED (Federal Reserve System): Represents the balance sheet of the US central bank, reflecting its monetary policy actions.
TGA (Treasury General Account): Reflects the US Treasury’s cash balance, impacting the liquidity in the banking system.
PBC (People's Bank of China): Shows the monetary policy actions and liquidity management by China’s central bank.
ECB (European Central Bank): Represents the balance sheet and liquidity management actions of the Eurozone's central bank.
BOJ (Bank of Japan): Reflects Japan's central bank's monetary policy and liquidity measures.
Other Central Banks: Includes metrics from various other central banks like the Bank of England, Bank of Canada, Reserve Bank of Australia, etc.
M2 Money Supply: This includes money supply metrics from various countries like the USA, Europe, China, Japan, and other significant economies.
These components collectively provide a comprehensive view of global liquidity, which is crucial for understanding its impact on Bitcoin's price.
Using the polynomial model and the author's Bitcoin power law model we can create 2 oscillators, one that shows deviations from the trend (normalized to the price to make the peaks more uniform) and the other showing deviations of the polynomial liquidity model from the power law trend.
The oscillators show the difference between the price and the power law model relative to the price, Orange Line. The Blue Line is instead the difference between the Global Liquidity Model of the price and the power law model relative to the model itself. The two oscillators can be overlayed to show their differences and similarities.
Analysis: In addition to similar observations from the discussion above we can see that most Bitcoin bottoms are not directly associated with bottoms in the liquidity model indicating a different mechanism at play that determines Bitcoin bottoms (probably due to miners' capitulation).
Using the new force_overlay function we plot the polynomial liquidity model directly over the Bitcoin price chart while we display the 2 oscillators in a separate panel.

OPTIMAL TRADE ENTRY (OTE) ZONES:
Based on Fibonacci retracement principles used by institutional traders:
Concept:
After a structure break (swing high/low violation), price often retraces to specific Fibonacci levels before continuing. The OTE zone (0.618 to 0.786) represents the optimal entry area.
Bullish OTE Formation:
1. Swing low is formed
2. Structure breaks above previous swing high (bullish structure break)
3. Price retraces into 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci zone
4. Entry signal when price enters and holds in OTE zone
Bearish OTE Formation:
1. Swing high is formed
2. Structure breaks below previous swing low (bearish structure break)
3. Price retraces into 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci zone
4. Entry signal when price enters and holds in OTE zone
Key Fibonacci Levels:
- 0.618 (Golden ratio - primary target)
- 0.705 (Square root of 0.5 - institutional level)
- 0.786 (Square root of 0.618 - deep retracement)
Structure Break Requirement:
- Optional setting to require confirmed structure break
- Prevents premature OTE zone identification
- Ensures proper swing structure is established
Entry/Exit Tracking:
- Green checkmark: Price entered OTE zone validly
- Red X: Price exited OTE zone (stop or target)

EGX30 Advance/Decline Line🇪🇬 EGX30 Advance/Decline & Market Breadth Suite
This comprehensive indicator provides a deep dive into the market breadth of the EGX30 index, allowing traders and analysts to monitor underlying buying and selling pressure across its constituents. It offers five distinct metrics for a holistic view of market health, ranging from traditional Advance/Decline analysis to advanced McClellan Oscillators and TRIN (Arms Index) readings.
Key Features and Metrics
The indicator is selectable via the 'Select Metric' input and can display the following on your chart:
1. Advance/Decline Line: A cumulative measure of the difference between the number of advancing stocks and declining stocks (Advancing Stocks−Declining Stocks). It helps confirm the market's trend strength.
2. McClellan Oscillator: Calculated using the Advance/Decline Ratio (AD Ratio) smoothed by two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It acts as a momentum measure of the A/D Line, highlighting potential overbought/oversold conditions and trend turns.
Climax Levels: Horizontal lines are plotted at +0.1 (Buy Climax) and −0.1 (Sell Climax).
3. Arms Index (TRIN): A volume-based indicator that measures the ratio of the Advance/Decline Ratio to the Advancing Volume/Declining Volume Ratio. A value above 1.0 is generally bearish (more volume in declining stocks), while a value below 1.0 is bullish.
Bands: Upper and Lower deviation bands are calculated and plotted for advanced analysis of extremes.
4. Total Volume: The raw, aggregated volume of all EGX30 constituent stocks.
5. Total Liquidity (Total Traded Value): The sum of (Price × Volume) for all EGX30 constituent stocks, giving a more accurate representation of capital flow.
⚙️ Customizable & Smart Configuration
The indicator is designed for maximum flexibility and accuracy across different chart timeframes:
Automatic Timeframe Configuration: When enabled (default), the script automatically selects optimized lookback periods for the Moving Average (MA), McClellan EMAs, and TRIN Lookback based on whether the chart is Intraday, Daily, Weekly, or other.
Manual Overrides: Disable the auto-configuration to manually set the MA Length, McClellan Fast/Slow EMAs, and TRIN Lookback/StdDev Multiplier for custom analysis.
📊 Advanced Data Table (Market Breakdown)
When the 'Show Table' input is toggled ON, a detailed statistics table appears on the chart's top-right corner, providing real-time market insights.
Top Performance (Contributors): Ranks and displays the Top N (customizable) stocks that are contributing the most to the index's movement, calculated as Weight × Percentage Change.
Top Liquidity: Ranks and displays the Top N stocks by their current-bar traded value (Price×Volume), expressed as a percentage of the Total Traded Value.
Horizontal Stats (Row 3): Provides a comprehensive summary of the current market state:
Adv, Decl, Unch: Count of advancing, declining, and unchanged stocks.
Net Adv: The difference between advancing and declining stocks.
Net Vol / Net Liq: Net Volume/Liquidity as a percentage of Total Volume/Liquidity.
Primary Metric/Volume Stats: Depending on the selected metric, it displays the current value of TRIN or the raw Total Volume and Total Liquidity.
This tool is indispensable for traders needing a clear, quantified understanding of the EGX30's underlying market dynamics.
EGX30 Advance/Decline v1.1
In this improved version, the relative weights of the index components have been adjusted, some stocks have been removed from the index, and new stocks have been added based on the latest update of the Egyptian Exchange's EGX30 index. Some visual improvements have also been made.
CandelaCharts - Unicorn Model📝 Overview
The Unicorn Model is an advanced indicator that pinpoints high-probability reversal setups based on the ICT Unicorn formation. It uses a zigzag-based structure to detect engineered liquidity grabs followed by sharp displacements in the opposite direction—ideal for fade entries or the start of new trends.
The indicator is enhanced with macro time filters, allowing it to align model detections with key trading sessions and institutional flow windows.
The ICT Unicorn Model is a precision-driven intraday strategy rooted in smart money concepts. It combines time-of-day sensitivity, engineered liquidity runs, and institutional order flow to uncover high-quality trading opportunities.
📦 Features
Liquidity Levels: Projects forward-looking liquidity zones after a Unicorn model is confirmed, highlighting potential price targets. These zones act as magnet areas where price is likely to be drawn, helping traders manage exits, partials, and re-entries with greater precision.
Unicorn: The Unicorn formation utilizes a smart money framework and a dynamic zigzag detection method to identify engineered liquidity grabs—sharp sweeps of previous highs or lows—followed by impulsive reversals.
Macros: These time-based intervals represent key moments when institutional algorithms are most active, seeking liquidity, rebalancing, or delivering price to key levels like fair value gaps and liquidity pools.
Custom TF Pairing: Choose your preferred combination of entry timeframe and context timeframe. For example, trade 5m setups within a 1h HTF bias, allowing precise alignment of microstructure with broader directional intent.
HTF & LTF PD Arrays: Displays high- and low-timeframe PD Arrays (e.g., Fair Value Gaps, Inversion Fair Value Gaps) that act as zones of interest or rejection, enhancing confluence and risk control.
History: Backtest previous Unicorn setups directly on the chart. Toggle historical models to analyze past behavior, improve your confidence, and fine-tune your trade execution across varying market regimes.
Killzone Filter: Restrict signal generation to specific trading sessions or killzones (e.g., London Open, New York AM). This minimizes false positives in low-volume or overlapping ranges.
Standard Deviation: Dynamically calculates and plots four deviation bands from the model confirmation point. These levels offer insight into stretch targets, volatility bands, and potential mean-reversion zones.
Dashboard: A real-time control panel showing the active model, HTF candle timer, current directional bias, asset name, and session date—offering clarity and fast decision-making at a glance.

Introduction:
In the ever-evolving world of trading, market participants are constantly seeking innovative tools and indicators to enhance their decision-making process and improve their overall trading performance. One such remarkable tool that has gained significant traction amongst traders is an advanced support and resistance (S/R) and liquidity indicator. This powerful indicator offers a plethora of customizable options and unique features, enabling traders to efficiently mark up their charts and identify crucial market levels without the need to spend countless hours on manual analysis.
In this comprehensive breakdown, we will delve into the key features and functionalities of this advanced indicator and demonstrate how traders can leverage it to optimize their trading strategies and achieve better results in the market. While we will not be revealing the source code, we will provide an in-depth explanation of how the indicator performs and the various ways in which it can be used by traders.
Section 1: Support and Resistance Zones - The Backbone of Your Technical Analysis
1.1 Automated Chart Marking:
The primary advantage of this advanced indicator is its ability to automatically identify and mark up key support and resistance levels on a chart. Gone are the days when traders had to painstakingly analyze charts and manually mark crucial levels. This indicator saves traders valuable time and ensures a more accurate depiction of S/R zones, ultimately facilitating better-informed trading decisions.
1.2 Round Number Detection:
Another notable feature of this indicator is its ability to detect and highlight psychological levels or round numbers. As these levels often act as significant areas of support or resistance, having them automatically marked on the chart allows traders to concentrate on developing and executing their trading strategies without getting bogged down in the minutiae of identifying these levels.
1.3 Customizable Timeframes:
Recognizing the diverse needs of traders, this advanced indicator offers the flexibility to adjust the user input options and adapt the S/R zones to any timeframe. This functionality allows traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style, whether they are scalping on lower timeframes or taking longer-term positions on higher timeframes.
1.4 Adjustable Pip Difference:
The option to increase or decrease the pip difference between the levels is a game-changer, as it allows traders to easily fine-tune the S/R zones to match the specific behavior of the market across various timeframes. With just a few clicks, traders can increase the pip difference on higher timeframes for a broader perspective, or decrease it on lower timeframes for a more granular view of the market.
1.5 Comprehensive Customization Options:
The advanced S/R indicator boasts a complete range of customizable options, ensuring that traders can tailor it to their unique needs and preferences. With the ability to solely rely on this indicator for marking up their charts, traders can streamline their technical analysis and focus on developing robust trading strategies.
1.6 Anticipating Trades with Limit and Stop Orders:
One of the many ways traders can leverage the S/R zones identified by this indicator is by placing limit and stop orders at these levels. This proactive approach enables traders to be prepared for potential market moves and take advantage of opportunities as they arise, rather than scrambling to react to unexpected price action.
1.7 Identifying Swing Points and Market Trends:
The customizable S/R zones also facilitate the identification of swing points, allowing traders to easily determine the trend direction or recognize ranging markets. This enhanced understanding of market structure can inform trading decisions and improve the overall effectiveness of a trader's strategy.
1.8 Visualization of Swing Points:
The ability to customize the S/R zones not only simplifies the process of identifying swing points but also enhances their visualization. This allows traders to quickly grasp the market structure and make informed decisions based on the prevailing market conditions.
Section 2: Liquidity Wicks - Uncovering Hidden Opportunities in the Market
2.1 Complementing Support and Resistance Zones:
The advanced indicator's liquidity wicks feature serves as an excellent complement to the S/R zones, providing traders with a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics. By highlighting potential liquidity areas, traders can easily identify high-probability trading opportunities that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
2.2 Magnetism of Liquidity:
Liquidity in the market often acts as a magnet for price, drawing it towards areas with higher trading volume. By visualizing these liquidity areas through the use of liquidity wicks, traders can anticipate price movements and adjust their strategies accordingly, seizing opportunities as they arise.
2.3 Trading Towards or Bouncing from Liquidity Wicks:
The combination of liquidity wicks and S/R zones empowers traders to take advantage of the market's inherent attraction to liquidity. Traders can either trade towards these wicks, anticipating price to be drawn to the liquidity, or trade based on a bounce from the high or low of the wicks, expecting price to reverse after reaching these areas.
2.4 Synergy of Liquidity Wicks and Support/Resistance Zones:
The relationship between liquidity wicks and S/R zones creates an invaluable synergy for traders. By looking for large liquidity wick bounces from S/R zones, traders can anticipate that price is likely to bounce again, thereby increasing the probability of successful trade execution. This integrated approach enables traders to identify and capitalize on high-probability trading opportunities in a more systematic manner.
Section 3: Bringing It All Together - Maximizing the Potential of the Advanced Indicator
3.1 Customization for Enhanced Trading Performance:
The extensive customization options offered by the advanced indicator allow traders to fine-tune their chart analysis to suit their individual trading styles and preferences. By adjusting the S/R zones, timeframes, and pip differences, traders can achieve an unparalleled level of precision in their technical analysis, ultimately enhancing their overall trading performance.
3.2 Anticipating and Preparing for Market Moves:
The advanced indicator enables traders to anticipate market moves and be prepared for potential opportunities by placing limit and stop orders at crucial levels. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of missing out on profitable trades and allows traders to stay ahead of the market.
3.3 Identifying and Capitalizing on High-Probability Trading Opportunities:
The combination of S/R zones and liquidity wicks empowers traders to identify high-probability trading opportunities and capitalize on them effectively. By integrating these features into their trading strategies, traders can significantly improve their success rate and overall profitability.
Conclusion:
In summary, the advanced support and resistance and liquidity indicator offer traders a powerful tool that can greatly enhance their trading performance. By automatically marking up charts, identifying key levels, and providing customizable options, this indicator allows traders to focus on developing and executing effective trading strategies. The synergy of S/R zones and liquidity wicks further enables traders to uncover hidden opportunities and capitalize on high-probability trades.
By understanding and leveraging the full potential of this advanced indicator, traders can streamline their technical analysis, improve their decision-making process, and ultimately give them a great change to achieve better results in the market.
Key levels + Session Range (Sweep-Aware Levels)Overview
This indicator provides a single, clean view of two core intraday contexts that day traders rely on:
Daily Liquidity Levels: prior day high/low (PDH/PDL), prior day open/close, weekly highs/lows, and other commonly referenced reference points.
Session Ranges: clearly plotted high/low for each active session (e.g., Asia, London, New York), tracked live as the session evolves.
By unifying these two information layers, traders can immediately see when price is sweeping a session’s extremes into known daily liquidity—a frequent precursor to reversals or continuation moves. This saves chart space, reduces cognitive overload, and turns two separate checks into one coherent read.
What it does
Plots daily liquidity references: previous day high/low, previous day open/close, and optional higher-timeframe levels (open, high, mid and low 4H ,Day, Week, month, year and quarterly).
Tracks session high/low live: as each session unfolds, the indicator updates that session’s running High and Low, then locks them at session end.
Maps interaction between the two layers: you can instantly spot session sweeps that tag PDH/PDL (or weekly extremes), highlight potential liquidity grabs, and frame risk with objective boundaries.
Keeps the chart clean: just essential lines/zones and concise labels—no extra clutter.
Why it’s useful & original
Single-purpose integration: Rather than a generic mashup, this is a purpose-built fusion where session dynamics are read in the context of daily liquidity. That relationship is the core edge—seeing when a session sweep aligns with known liquidity pools.
Workflow efficiency: One overlay replaces two indicators, simplifying visibility and reducing conflicting visuals.
Decision clarity: The combination highlights setups many intraday traders already watch manually (e.g., NY session high sweep into PDH), but makes them obvious in real time.
How it works (plain-English logic)
Daily Liquidity Engine
At the start of each day, the indicator records PDH, PDL, prior open/close and (optionally) prior week high/low.
These levels are plotted and extended across the session as static references.
Session Range Tracker
For each defined session (e.g., Asia/London/New York), the script initializes session High/Low at session open.
Throughout the session, it updates those extremes in real time and locks them on session close.
Interaction Layer
When price reaches or sweeps a session High/Low near a daily level (e.g., within your chosen tolerance), the confluence becomes visually obvious.
Traders can then decide whether it’s a likely liquidity grab (fade/reversal idea) or a continuation through the pool (breakout idea), per their plan.
How to use it
Identify session context: Start by noting where price is trading relative to the current session’s High/Low.
Locate nearby daily liquidity: Check distance to PDH/PDL, prior open/close, and weekly extremes.
Look for confluence:
Sweep-and-fade idea: Session High swept into PDH (or Session Low into PDL) with failure to hold → potential reversal context.
Break-and-go idea: Strong close through PDH/PDL following a session extreme break → potential continuation context.
Risk framing: Session High/Low and PDH/PDL provide objective anchors for stops and targets. Adapt to your own risk model (e.g., use ATR or structure-based stops).
Keep it clean: Use this as your primary overlay to avoid clutter; add confirmations (volume, structure) only if they genuinely help your process.
Settings (typical options)
Sessions: Choose which sessions to display (e.g., Asia/London/NY) and their time zones/hours.
Daily Levels: Toggle PDH/PDL, prior open/close, prior week High/Low, and other references you rely on.
Visuals: Colors, line styles, label visibility, and optional band shading for quick recognition.
Confluence Tolerance (optional): Define how near a session extreme must be to a daily level to consider it a “liquidity touch/sweep” in your visuals.
Alerts (optional): First touch/sweep of session High/Low, break/close beyond PDH/PDL, or custom distance conditions.
Chart & Publishing Notes (for reviewers and users)
Clean chart by design: Only essential lines/labels for session extremes and daily references.
Plain-English description: Explains what, why, and how so non-coders can use it confidently.
Original integration: The value here is the purposeful interaction—seeing session sweeps in context of daily liquidity in one place—rather than a cosmetic mashup.
Limitations & good practice
This tool is contextual, not predictive. It highlights structure and liquidity landmarks; trade decisions are yours.
Session definitions vary by asset/exchange; ensure your session times match your market.
Past behavior at these levels does not guarantee future outcomes; always use proper risk management.

XAUMO MegaBar VSA by Mohamed Mahmoud XAUMO MegaBar VSA — Smart Money Breakout & Reversal Engine for XAUUSD
(Educational Use Only)
1) WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
XAUMO MegaBar VSA is an institutional-style smart money engine for XAUUSD designed to show you what professional money is doing, not just where price is moving.
It combines:
- MegaBar detection on 1H and 15m
- VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) events
- VPOC / WVPOC and volume clusters
- Liquidity sweeps, CHoCH, order blocks, FVGs
- Full Fibonacci leg mapping (retracements + extensions)
- Pre-built execution ladders (Entry, SL, TP1–TP4, Reverse Fib trades)
All in one dashboard with:
- Color-coded candles
- Clean, ATR-offset labels
- Optional tables and debug panels
So traders can quickly decide:
“Is this move driven by smart money, or is it just noise?”
2) CORE MODULES & FEATURES
A) SESSION + ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION CONTEXT
- Session filter: London, New York, Overlap, or custom.
- Accumulation / distribution zones shaded on chart with adjustable colors/opacity.
- Quick legend so you always know if the market is in “smart money accumulation” or “distribution”.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Focus only on your trading session and instantly see if volume is building (accumulation), unloading (distribution), or flat. This helps you avoid trading in dead liquidity.
--------------------------------------------------
B) MEGABAR ENGINE + FIB MAP
- Automatically detects “MegaBars” (institutional candles) on 15m and 1H.
- Uses body size, range, and volume to pick only meaningful bars.
- Builds a full Fibonacci map from each active MegaBar:
• Retracements: 0, 13, 23.6, 38.2, 50, 61.8, 78.6, 86.2, 100, and -33.
• Extensions: 125% up to 600%+ (configurable ladder).
- Per-level style controls:
• Color, width, line style (solid/dotted/dashed).
• Optional price labels with ATR-based offsets.
- Main Fib legend that explains shallow / normal / deep reload zones.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You stop guessing where to buy or sell. You trade around the institutional leg:
- Buy dips into defined reload zones after bullish MegaBars.
- Sell rallies into extension zones after bearish MegaBars.
- Use clean, pre-mapped structure for both scalps and swings.
--------------------------------------------------
C) VSA ENGINE + CANDLE LABELING
- Detects a full set of VSA events such as:
• No Demand / No Supply
• Stopping Volume
• Absorption
• Springs / Upthrusts
• Buying Climax / Selling Climax
• Bullish / Bearish EVR
• Tests and confirmed VSA signals at S/R
- Enhances with:
• Body vs total range analysis
• Wick dominance for exhaustion vs aggression
• Momentum and volume confirmation filters
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Each label becomes a “comment” from smart money on the chart:
- “No Demand” near resistance + weak RVOL = skip long entries.
- “Stopping Volume” + spring at Fib reload zone + VPOC cluster = potential high-quality long.
- Combine VSA with the MegaBar Fib map and volume profile for structured decisions.
--------------------------------------------------
D) SUPERSONIC BREAKOUT ENGINE
- Calculates a breakout strength score using:
• RVOL and volume expansion
• Spread expansion vs recent bars
• Body quality (body vs range)
• Bar progress (how much of the candle’s time has elapsed)
- Differentiates:
• Potential vs confirmed breakouts
• Strong, volume-backed moves vs weak spikes
- Optional debug label explaining:
• Momentum score
• Volume ratio and RVOL
• Spread behaviour
• Body quality
• Bar elapsed %
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You avoid chasing every big candle.
You only act when:
- Breakout strength is high,
- Volume confirms the move,
- Structure (Fib / VPOC / CHoCH) is aligned.
--------------------------------------------------
E) VPOC / WVPOC CLUSTERS & DYNAMIC ZONES
- Tracks real-time VPOC and WVPOC.
- Identifies VPOC/WVPOC clusters as powerful S/R zones.
- Confirms bullish or bearish breaks when price clears these levels with volume.
- Provides dynamic SL and TP logic:
• SL near/behind VPOC with ATR buffer.
• TP ladders aligned with volume structure.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You anchor your risk to where the most volume traded, not random price points:
- Use VPOC as a rational stop placement.
- Treat VPOC/WVPOC clusters as “coiled springs” – zones where large moves often start.
--------------------------------------------------
F) SMART MONEY ENTRY ENGINE (1H + 15M MEGABARS)
- Uses MTF `request.security` logic to bring 1H MegaBars into lower timeframes.
- Identifies:
• 1H + 15m confluence entries (A-grade setups).
• Single-TF entries (B-grade setups).
- Pre-calculates for each scenario:
• Entry level (Fib-based within the MegaBar range).
• Stop loss (beyond range or leg-based).
• TP1–TP4 along Fib extensions / structure.
- Labels show:
• “Entry = …”
• “SL = …”
• “TP1 = … / TP2 = … / TP3 = … / TP4 = …”
with adjustable font size and ATR-based offsets.
- Optional “show only latest” mode to keep your chart clean.
- Alert-ready so you can receive notifications when conditions are met.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You get a fully defined execution ladder:
- The engine tells you where a logical entry is,
- Where a logical SL should be,
- And how to scale out with multiple targets.
You can use:
- Confluence setups for main trades,
- Single-TF setups for more frequent but lower conviction trades.
--------------------------------------------------
G) REVERSE FIB TRADING MODULE
- Triggers after extended moves when key TPs are hit.
- Looks for:
• Rejection candles at or beyond major extensions.
• Exhaustion + VSA confirmation.
- Builds a reverse (counter-trend) Fib plan:
• Counter-trend entry from extension extremes.
• TP ladder based on 0.618, 0.786, 1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 1.618, 2.0, etc.
• SL and TSL based on ATR and Fib distance.
- ATR timeframe adapts to chart timeframe.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
You can fade overextended moves once structure and P/A agree:
- Trend traders can use it to tighten or exit.
- Counter-trend traders can structure “fade” setups with defined risk.
--------------------------------------------------
H) LIQUIDITY SWEEPS, CHoCH, ORDER BLOCKS, FVGs
- Detects sweeps above highs and below lows (liquidity grabs).
- Marks CHoCH (Change of Character) when structure flips with volume.
- Basic smart money order block detection (bullish / bearish).
- FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) shaded on chart, removed when filled.
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Combine sweeps + CHoCH + MegaBar + VSA + VPOC:
- Join clean, volume-backed continuations.
- Fade obvious stop hunts when they reject into strong zones.
--------------------------------------------------
I) VSA + BREAKOUT DASHBOARD TABLE (OPTIONAL)
- Compact table with:
• VSA context
• Breakout score
• RVOL / volume status
• Spread and candle quality
• ATR regime
• Close position within the bar
• VPOC and elapsed bar percentage
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
Before pressing the button, glance at the table:
- Is volatility supportive?
- Is volume confirming?
- Is this a clean breakout or a tired move?
This pushes you toward rule-based execution and away from impulse.
--------------------------------------------------
3) TYPICAL TRADING WORKFLOW WITH XAUMO MEGABAR VSA
A) Pick timeframe and session
- Use 15m or 1H on XAUUSD.
- Align the indicator’s session inputs with your actual trading hours.
B) Read context first
- Check accumulation / distribution zones.
- Look at VSA events and the breakout engine.
- Note where VPOC / WVPOC are relative to price.
C) Find the active MegaBar and its Fib structure
- Identify the most recent bull/bear MegaBar.
- See if price is:
• Pulling back into reload zones,
• Breaking out of them,
• Or extending into high-risk zones.
D) Wait for smart money confirmation
- Look for:
• Confluence setups (1H + 15m MegaBars),
• Strong breakout score,
• Valid VSA signals,
• Helpful structure: CHoCH, FVG, sweeps.
E) Execute using the printed ladders
- Use the on-chart Entry / SL / TP labels as your execution framework.

2) أهم الموديولات اللي جوّه المؤشّر
A) الكونتكست بتاع السيشن + تجميع/توزيع
- فلتر جلسات: لندن – نيو يورك – overlap – أو وقت تحطّه انت.
- مناطق Accumulation / Distribution متظلّلة بألوان أنت بتختارها.
- لچند بسيط يوضّح لك السوق دلوقتي: تجميع؟ توزيع؟ ولا نايم.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
تركّز بس في الجلسة اللي انت شغّال فيها، وتشوف فورًا:
فيه بناء مراكز؟ فيه تصريف؟ ولا مفيش فوليوم أصلاً؟
ده يقلّل دخولك في أوقات السوق فيها “ميت”.
--------------------------------------------
B) محرّك الـ MegaBar + خريطة الفيبوناتشي
- المؤشّر يلقط لوحده الـ MegaBars (شموع مؤسّسات) على 15m و 1h.
- بيعتمد على: حجم الجسم، مدى الشمعة، الفوليوم.
- يرسم خريطة فيبوناتشي كاملة من الرجل الأساسية:

• لون / سماكة / ستايل (سوليد – دوتيد – داشد)
• ليبل سِعر مع Offset بـ ATR
- لچند يشرح لك Reload Zones: ضحلة / عادية / عميقة.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
بدل ما “تخمّن” فين تشتري وتبيع:
- تشتري الدِپ جوّه مناطق Reload بعد MegaBar صاعد.
- تبيع الريبوند جوّه Extensions بعد MegaBar هابط.
- عندك هيكل واضح للسوينج والسكالب من غير فوضى.
--------------------------------------------
C) VSA + لِيبلات على الشموع
- يكتشف أحداث VSA زي:
• No Demand / No Supply

المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
كل ليبل على الشمعة = كومنت من السمارت ماني:
- No Demand عند مقاومة + RVOL ضعيف → بلاش تشتري.
- Stopping Volume + Spring جوّه Reload Zone + VPOC → فرصة قوية للشراء.
- توصل بين VSA + Fib + VPOC فتفهم “مين بيكسب المعركة”.
--------------------------------------------
D) محرّك البريك آوت Supersonic
- بيحسب Score للقوة بتاعة البريك آوت من:
• RVOL + Volume Expansion
• توسّع السبريد مقارنة بالشموع السابقة
• جودة جسم الشمعة (جسم ولا ذيل)
• نسبة الوقت اللي عدّى من الشمعة الحالية
- يفرّق بين:

- يقدر يطلع ليبل Debug يشرح:
• Momentum Score
• Volume Ratio / RVOL
• Spread Behaviour
• Body Quality
• % الوقت اللي فات من عمر الشمعة
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
ماتجريش ورا كل شمعة كبيرة:
- استنَى لما يكون الـ Score عالي،
- والفوليوم مصدّق الحركة،
- والهيكل (Fib / VPOC / CHoCH) موافق.
ساعتها بس البريك آوت يستاهل المخاطرة.

• TP متوزع على مستويات فيبوناتشي و زونات فوليوم.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
بتربط مخاطرتك بأين اشتغل الفوليوم التقيل:
- VPOC = منطق منطقي للستوب.
- Clusters = زون ضغط ينفع يبدأ منها ترند قوي.
--------------------------------------------
F) محرّك الدخول بتاع السمارت ماني (1h + 15m MegaBars)
- يجيب MegaBars بتاعة الساعة جوّه فريمات أقل بالـ `request.security`.

المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
يبقى عندك Execution Ladder كامل:
- فين تدخل،
- فين تحط الستوب،
- إزاي تقسم الخروج على أكتر من هدف.
--------------------------------------------
G) موديل الـ Reverse Fib (صفقات عكس الاتجاه)
- بيشتغل بعد ما السعر يبالغ في الحركة و يوصل Extensions معيّنة.
- يدور على:
• شموع رفض عند/بعد Extensions.
• Exhaustion + إشارة VSA.
- يرسم خطة عكسية:
• Entry عكسي من Extension Extreme.
• TP سلم مبني على 0.618, 0.786, 1.236, 1.382, 1.5, 1.618, 2.0, … إلخ
• SL و TSL مبنيين على ATR و مسافة الفيبوناتشي.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
لو انت ترند تريدر:
- تستخدمه عشان تقفل/تخفف عند تمدّد مبالغ فيه.

H) سويپس لليكويديتي + CHoCH + Order Blocks + FVGs
- يوسم مناطق ضرب الستوبات فوق الهاي وتحت اللو (Liquidity Grabs).
- يحدد CHoCH لما الاتجاه يغيّر شخصيته مع فوليوم.
- يرصد Order Blocks أساسية (Bullish / Bearish).
- يظلّل الـ FVGs و يشيلها لما تتعبّى.
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
تجمع بين:
MegaBar + VSA + Fib + VPOC + Liquidity:
- يا إمّا تلحق موجة نظيفة،
- يا إمّا تفِيد Stop Hunt غبي اتكشف على الشارت.
--------------------------------------------
I) داشبورد VSA + Breakout (Table اختياري)
- Table صغيرة فيها:
• حالة VSA
• قوة البريك آوت
• RVOL / Volume
• Spread & Candle Quality
• حالة ATR
• مكان الإغلاق جوّه الشمعة
• وضع VPOC
• نسبة الوقت اللي عدّى من الشمعة
المتداول يستخدمه إزاي؟
قبل ما تدوس Buy / Sell:
- تبص على التابل ثانيتين:
الدنيا شغّالة ولا لأ؟
فيه فوليوم؟ فيه ترند؟ ولا حركة ميتة؟
ده يقلل قرارات “من غير plan”.

4) المؤشّر ده مناسب لمين؟
- اللي بيتاجر دهب XAUUSD (CFD أو Spot) على 15m و 1h.
- اللي بيحب شغل مؤسّسات: Volume, VPOC, SMC, Fib مش مؤشرات بسيطة.
- اللي عايز Execution Plan جاهز (Entry/SL/TP) بس لسه عنده حريّة تعديل.
- اللي عايز يتعلّم VSA و Smart Money Concepts بشكل تطبيقي على شارت واحد.
5) إخلاء مسؤولية كامل (مهم تقراه)
- المؤشّر ده وكل الكلام اللي حواليه للتعليم بس.
- مش:
• نصيحة استثمارية،
• ولا توصية شراء/بيع،
• ولا خدمة إدارة محافظ،
• ولا سيجنال سيرڤس.
- التداول في الأسواق (خصوصًا المشتقات، الـ CFD، الفيوتشر) فيه مخاطرة عالية جدًا،
وممكن تخسر جزء كبير أو كل رأس مالك.
- أي أداء سابق، باك تست، أو مثال افتراضي → مش ضمان لنتيجة مستقبلية.
- أي نسبة احتمالات، Scores، أو “Quality” بيطلعها المؤشّر:
• دي حسابات كود، مش ضمان ربح،
• مش وعد ولا تعهّد بأي نتيجة.
- انت المسؤول 100% عن:
• حجم العقود اللي بتدخلها،
• الرافعة اللي بتستخدمها،
• أماكن الدخول والخروج،
• وإدارة المخاطرة بتاعتك،
• والتزامك بالقوانين والضرائب في بلدك.
- قبل ما تستخدم المؤشّر على حساب حقيقي:
• جرّب كويس على باك تست و فورورد تست،
• اشتغل فترة على Demo،
• لو محتاج نصيحة مالية شخصية → ارجع لمستشار مالي مرخَّص.
باختصار:
XAUMO MegaBar VSA ده أداة تعليمية وتحليلية قوية تساعدك تفهم حركة الذهب،
مش زرار “اطبع فلوس”.
انت صاحب القرار، وانت صاحب المسؤولية، وانت اللي بتتحمّل أي ربح أو خسارة.
SOFR Spread (proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY)📊 SOFR Spread (Proxy: FEDFUNDS - US03MY) – Monitoring USD Money Market Liquidity
In 2008, the spread exhibits a sharp vertical spike, signaling a severe liquidity dislocation: investors rushed into short-term U.S. Treasuries, pushing their yields down dramatically, while the FEDFUNDS rate remained relatively high.
This behavior indicates extreme systemic stress in the interbank lending market, preceding massive Federal Reserve interventions such as rate cuts, emergency liquidity operations, and the launch of quantitative easing (QE).
Description:
This indicator plots the spread between the Effective Federal Funds Rate (FEDFUNDS) and the 3-Month US Treasury Bill yield (US03MY), used here as a proxy for the SOFR spread.
It serves as a simple yet powerful tool to detect liquidity dislocations and stress signals in the US short-term funding markets.
Interpretation:
🔴 Spread > 0.20% → Possible liquidity stress: elevated repo rates, cash shortage, interbank distrust.
🟡 Spread ≈ 0% → Normal market conditions, balanced liquidity.
🟢 Spread < 0% → Excess liquidity: strong demand for T-Bills, “flight to safety”, or distortion due to expansionary monetary policy.
Ideal for:
Monitoring Fed policy impact
Anticipating market-wide liquidity squeezes
Correlation with DXY, SPX, VIX, MOVE Index, and risk sentiment
🧠 Note: As SOFR is not directly available on TradingView, FEDFUNDS is used as a reliable proxy, closely tracking the same trends in most macro conditions.
