Gold Scalping BOS & CHoCHThis strategy is designed for scalping gold (XAU/USD) on the 3-minute timeframe, utilizing Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) to identify high-probability trade setups. Unlike traditional SMA crossover strategies, this method focuses purely on price action and market structure shifts, allowing for early entries and better risk management.
Core Concepts:
Break of Structure (BOS) – Confirms a continuation of the trend when price breaks the last swing high (bullish) or last swing low (bearish).
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Detects possible trend reversals by identifying a shift in market momentum.
Dynamic Support & Resistance – Uses the last 10-bar highs and lows to determine adaptive stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio (1:2 RR) – Ensures trades are executed with a favorable risk/reward ratio.
Entry Conditions:
Buy Entry:
BOS (Bullish) confirmed (price breaks the previous swing high).
CHoCH (Bullish) confirms trend shift.
Price crosses back above the last swing low (confirmation of support).
Sell Entry:
BOS (Bearish) confirmed (price breaks the previous swing low).
CHoCH (Bearish) confirms trend shift.
Price crosses back below the last swing high (confirmation of resistance).
Exit Conditions:
Stop Loss (SL): Set at the most recent dynamic support (for buys) or resistance (for sells).
Take Profit (TP): 2x the risk (1:2 risk-reward ratio).
Advantages of This Strategy:
✅ No lagging indicators – Uses price action for real-time entries.
✅ High probability setups – Focuses only on strong structural breaks.
✅ Adaptive SL/TP – Uses real market structure instead of fixed values.
✅ Optimized for Scalping – Best suited for quick in-and-out trades.
Best Time to Trade:
🔹 London & New York Sessions (High volatility for gold).

1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.

🔵 - How was the indicator designed? -
I have spent a lot of time testing other open source indicators from the community. All of these indicators do a great job, but they have a problem, they not only mitigate FVGs when a candle closes above or below the FVG, they also mitigate FVGs when the candle closes exactly to the tick (not above or below the FVG). This is a problem for many strategies that rely on FVGs mitigation.
What makes this indicator different is that it focuses on just mitigating imbalances at the right time for these strategies.
I have taken ideas and some pieces of code from many community indicator developers, such as:
@twingall
@tflab
@marktools
@nacho-fx
@pmk07
... and many other people, to whom I thank for their valuable work and have allowed me to create this tool by making modifications to their source code.

MT-Trend Zone IdentifierTrend Zone Identifier – A Dynamic Market Trend Mapping Tool
Overview
The Trend Zone Identifier is an advanced TradingView indicator that helps traders visualize different market trend phases. By leveraging Pivot Points, Moving Averages (MA), ADX (Average Directional Index), and Retest Confirmation, this tool identifies uptrend, downtrend, and ranging (sideways) conditions dynamically.
This indicator is designed to segment the market into clear trend zones, allowing traders to distinguish between confirmed trends, trend transitions (pending zones), and ranging markets. It provides an intuitive visual overlay to enhance market structure analysis and assist in decision-making.
Key Features
✔ Trend Zone Identification – Classifies price action into Uptrend (Green), Downtrend (Red), Pending Confirmation (Light Colors), and Sideways Market (Gray/Neutral)
✔ Pivot-Based Breakout & Breakdown Detection – Uses pivot highs/lows to determine trend shifts
✔ Moving Average & ADX Validation – Ensures the trend is backed by MA structure and ADX trend strength
✔ Pullback Confirmation – Allows trend confirmation based on price retesting key levels
✔ Extreme Volatility & Gaps Filtering – Optional ATR-based extreme movement filtering to avoid false signals
✔ Multi-Timeframe Support – Option to integrate higher timeframe trend validation
✔ Customizable Sensitivity – Fine-tune MA smoothing, ADX thresholds, pivot detection, and pullback range
How It Works
1. Trend Classification
• Uptrend (Green): Price is above a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakout occurs
• Downtrend (Red): Price is below a key MA, ADX confirms strength, and a pivot breakdown occurs
• Pending Trend (Light Colors): Initial trend breakout or breakdown is detected but requires further confirmation
• Sideways/Ranging (Gray): ADX signals a weak trend, and price remains within a neutral zone
2. Retest & Confirmation Logic
• A trend is only confirmed after a breakout or breakdown followed by a successful retest
• If the market fails the retest, the indicator resets to a neutral state
3. Custom Filters for Optimization
• Enable or disable volume filtering for confirmation
• Adjust pivot sensitivity to detect major or minor swing points
• Choose to require consecutive bars confirming the breakout/breakdown
Ideal Use Cases
🔹 Swing traders who want to capture trend transitions early
🔹 Trend-following traders who rely on confirmed market cycles
🔹 Range traders looking to identify sideways market zones
🔹 Algorithmic traders who need clean trend segmentation for automated strategies

Auto-Length Moving Average + Trend Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Auto-Length Moving Average + Trend Signals (Zeiierman) is an easy-to-use indicator designed to help traders dynamically adjust their moving average length based on market conditions. This tool adapts in real-time, expanding and contracting the moving average based on trend strength and momentum shifts.
The indicator smooths out price fluctuations by modifying its length while ensuring responsiveness to new trends. In addition to its adaptive length algorithm, it incorporates trend confirmation signals, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuations with greater confidence.
This indicator suits scalpers, swing traders, and trend-following investors who want a self-adjusting moving average that adapts to volatility, momentum, and price action dynamics.
█ How It Works
⚪ Dynamic Moving Average Length
The core feature of this indicator is its ability to automatically adjust the length of the moving average based on trend persistence and market conditions:
Expands in strong trends to reduce noise.
Contracts in choppy or reversing markets for faster reaction.
This allows for a more accurate moving average that aligns with current price dynamics.
⚪ Trend Confirmation & Signals
The indicator includes built-in trend detection logic, classifying trends based on market structure. It evaluates trend strength based on consecutive bars and smooths out transitions between bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Uptrend: Price is persistently above the adjusted moving average.
Downtrend: Price remains below the adjusted moving average.
Neutral: Price fluctuates around the moving average, indicating possible consolidation.
⚪ Adaptive Trend Smoothing
A smoothing factor is applied to enhance trend readability while minimizing excessive lag. This balances reactivity with stability, making it easier to follow longer-term trends while avoiding false signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
Bullish Trend: The indicator confirms an uptrend when the price consistently stays above the dynamically adjusted moving average.
Bearish Trend: A downtrend is recognized when the price remains below the moving average.
⚪ Trade Entry & Exit
Enter long when the dynamic moving average is green and a trend signal occurs. Exit when the price crosses below the dynamic moving average.
Enter short when the dynamic moving average is red and a trend signal occurs. Exit when the price crosses above the dynamic moving average.
█ Slope-Based Reset
This mode resets the trend counter when the moving average slope changes direction.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for trend-following traders who want to filter out noise and only reset when a clear shift in momentum occurs.
Higher slope length (N): More stable trends, fewer resets.
Lower slope length (N): More reactive to small price swings, frequent resets.
Useful in swing trading to track significant trend reversals.
█ RSI-Based Reset
The counter resets when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crosses predefined overbought or oversold levels.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for reversal traders who look for extreme overbought/oversold conditions.
High RSI threshold (e.g., 80/20): Fewer resets, only extreme conditions trigger adjustments.
Lower RSI threshold (e.g., 60/40): More frequent resets, detecting smaller corrections.
Great for detecting exhaustion in trends before potential reversals.
█ Volume-Based Reset
A reset occurs when current volume significantly exceeds its moving average, signaling a shift in market participation.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for traders who follow institutional activity (high volume often means large players are active).
Higher volume SMA length: More stable trends, only resets on massive volume spikes.
Lower volume SMA length: More reactive to short-term volume shifts.
Useful in identifying breakout conditions and trend acceleration points.
█ Bollinger Band-Based Reset
A reset occurs when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band or below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling potential overextension.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for traders looking for volatility-based trend shifts.
Higher Bollinger Band multiplier (k = 2.5+): Captures only major price extremes.
Lower Bollinger Band multiplier (k = 1.5): Resets on moderate volatility changes.
Useful for detecting overextensions in strong trends before potential retracements.
█ MACD-Based Reset
A reset occurs when the MACD line crosses the signal line, indicating a momentum shift.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for momentum traders looking for trend continuation vs. exhaustion signals.
Longer MACD lengths (260, 120, 90): Captures major trend shifts.
Shorter MACD lengths (10, 5, 3): Reacts quickly to momentum changes.
Useful for detecting strong divergences and market shifts.
█ Stochastic-Based Reset
A reset occurs when Stochastic %K crosses overbought or oversold levels.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for short-term traders looking for fast momentum shifts.
Longer Stochastic length: Filters out false signals.
Shorter Stochastic length: Captures quick intraday shifts.
█ CCI-Based Reset
A reset occurs when the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) crosses predefined overbought or oversold levels. The CCI measures the price deviation from its statistical mean, making it a useful tool for detecting overextensions in price action.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for cycle traders who aim to identify overextended price deviations in trending or ranging markets.
Higher CCI threshold (e.g., ±200): Detects extreme overbought/oversold conditions before reversals.
Lower CCI threshold (e.g., ±10): More sensitive to trend shifts, useful for early signal detection.
Ideal for detecting momentum shifts before price reverts to its mean or continues trending strongly.
█ Momentum-Based Reset
A reset occurs when Momentum (Rate of Change) crosses zero, indicating a potential shift in price direction.
⚪ Interpretation & Insights
Best for trend-following traders who want to track acceleration vs. deceleration.
Higher momentum length: Captures longer-term shifts.
Lower momentum length: More responsive to short-term trend changes.
█ How to Interpret the Trend Strength Table
The Trend Strength Table provides valuable insights into the current market conditions by tracking how the dynamic moving average is adjusting based on trend persistence. Each metric in the table plays a role in understanding the strength, longevity, and stability of a trend.
⚪ Counter Value
Represents the current length of trend persistence before a reset occurs.
The higher the counter, the longer the current trend has been in place without resetting.
When this value reaches the Counter Break Threshold, the moving average resets and contracts to become more reactive.
Example:
A low counter value (e.g., 10) suggests a recent trend reset, meaning the market might be changing directions frequently.
A high counter value (e.g., 495) means the trend has been ongoing for a long time, indicating strong trend persistence.
⚪ Trend Strength
Measures how strong the current trend is based on the trend confirmation logic.
Higher values indicate stronger trends, while lower values suggest weaker trends or consolidations.
This value is dynamic and updates based on price action.
Example:
Trend Strength of 760 → Indicates a high-confidence trend.
Trend Strength of 50 → Suggests weak price action, possibly a choppy market.
⚪ Highest Trend Score
Tracks the strongest trend score recorded during the session.
Helps traders identify the most dominant trend observed in the timeframe.
This metric is useful for analyzing historical trend strength and comparing it with current conditions.
Example:
Highest Trend Score = 760 → Suggests that at some point, there was a strong trend in play.
If the current trend strength is much lower than this value, it could indicate trend exhaustion.
⚪ Average Trend Score
This is a rolling average of trend strength across the session.
Provides a bigger picture of how the trend strength fluctuates over time.
If the average trend score is high, the market has had persistent trends.
If it's low, the market may have been choppy or sideways.
Example:

Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter by TenozenNew year, new indicator! Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter is an indicator designed to provide an adaptive approach to trend analysis. Using the Kalman Filter (a recursive algorithm used in signal processing), this algo dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders a reliable way to identify trends and manage risk! In other words, it's a remaster of my previous indicator, Kalman Filter by Tenozen.
What's the difference with the previous indicator (Kalman Filter by Tenozen)?
The indicator adjusts its parameters (Q and R) in real-time using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of market volatility. This ensures the filter remains responsive during high-volatility periods and smooth during low-volatility conditions, optimizing its performance across different market environments.
The filter resets on a user-defined timeframe, aligning its calculations with dominant trends and reducing sensitivity to short-term noise. This helps maintain consistency with the broader market structure.
A confidence metric, derived from the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line (measured in ATR multiples), is visualized as a heatmap:
Green : Bullish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Red : Bearish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Gray : Neutral zone (low confidence, suggesting caution).
This provides a clear, objective measure of trend strength.
How it works?
The Kalman Filter estimates the "true" price by filtering out market noise. It operates in two steps, that is, prediction and update. Prediction is about projection the current state (price) forward. Update is about adjusting the prediction based on the latest price data. The filter's parameters (Q and R) are scaled using normalized ATR, ensuring adaptibility to changing market conditions. So it means that, Q (Process Noise) increases during high volatility, making the filter more responsive to price changes and R (Measurement Noise) increases during low volatility, smoothing out the filter to avoid overreacting to minor fluctuations. Also, the trend confidence is calculated based on the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line, measured in ATR multiples, this provides a quantifiable measure of trend strength, helping traders assess market conditions objectively.
How to use?
Use the Kalman Filter line to identify the prevailing trend direction. Trade in alignment with the filter's slope for higher-probability setups.
Look for pullbacks toward the Kalman Filter line during strong trends (high confidence zones)
Utilize the dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and lock in profits
Confidence Heatmap provides an objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders avoid low-confidence (neutral) zones and focus on high-probability opportunities
Guess that's it! I hope this indicator helps! Let me know if you guys got some feedback! Ciao!

Dynamic S/R Levels: Edge FinderOverview
The Dynamic S/R Levels: Edge Finder indicator is designed to identify dynamic support and resistance levels based on historical price action. It uses a combination of price extremes (highs and lows) over user-defined lookback periods, weighted moving averages (WMAs), and touch-count analysis to provide actionable insights into key market levels.
This tool is ideal for traders who want to:
Identify dynamic support and resistance zones.
Understand the strength of these levels based on price touches.
Make informed decisions using clear, adaptive levels.
How It Works
Dynamic Levels Calculation:
The indicator calculates dynamic support levels using the lowest lows and dynamic resistance levels using the highest highs over user-defined lookback periods (e.g., 20, 40, 60 bars, etc.).
These levels are updated dynamically as new price data becomes available.
Touch Count Analysis:
The indicator counts how many times the price has touched or come close to each support/resistance level within the lookback period.
Levels with more touches are considered stronger and are highlighted accordingly.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs):
The indicator uses 50-period and 100-period WMAs to identify the closest support/resistance levels to the current trend.
Levels near these WMAs are given additional weight, as they are more likely to act as significant barriers.
Level Merging:
If two support or resistance levels are too close to each other (based on the minimum distance percentage), the weaker level (with fewer touches) is removed to avoid clutter.
Visualization:
Support levels are displayed as dashed red lines, and resistance levels are displayed as dashed blue lines.
Each level is labeled with its corresponding touch count, allowing traders to quickly assess its strength.
How to Interpret the Indicator
Strong Support/Resistance Levels:
Levels with higher touch counts (e.g., 5, 10, or more) are considered stronger and are more likely to hold in the future.
Use these levels to plan entries, exits, or stop-loss placements.
Proximity to WMAs:
Levels closest to the 50-period or 100-period WMA are more significant, especially in trending markets.
These levels often act as dynamic barriers where price reactions are more likely.
Breakouts and Rejections:
If the price breaks through a strong resistance level, it may indicate a potential bullish trend.
If the price rejects a strong support level, it may indicate a potential bearish trend.
Always confirm breakouts or rejections with additional analysis (e.g., volume, candlestick patterns).
Level Merging:
Merged levels indicate areas of high confluence, where multiple support/resistance zones overlap.
These areas are particularly important for decision-making, as they represent stronger market reactions.
Key Features
Customizable Lookback Periods: Adjust the lookback periods for each dynamic level to suit your trading style.
Touch Count Labels: Quickly identify the strength of each level based on the number of price touches.
Adaptive Levels: The indicator dynamically updates levels based on recent price action.
Clean Visualization: Levels are automatically merged to avoid clutter and provide a clear view of the market structure.
Usage Tips
Trend Identification: Combine the indicator with trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, trendlines) to confirm the overall market direction.
Risk Management: Use the identified levels to set stop-loss orders or take-profit targets.
Timeframe Flexibility: The indicator works on all timeframes, but it is particularly effective on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, Daily) for more reliable levels.
Example Scenarios
Bounce Trade:
If the price approaches a strong support level (high touch count) and shows signs of rejection (e.g., bullish candlestick patterns), consider a long position with a stop-loss below the support level.
Breakout Trade:
If the price breaks above a strong resistance level with high volume, consider a long position with a target at the next resistance level.
Range-Bound Market:
In a sideways market, use the support and resistance levels to identify range boundaries and trade bounces between them.

Crypto Market Cap Momentum Analyzer (AiBitcoinTrend)The Crypto Market Cap Momentum Analyzer (AiBitcoinTrend) is a robust tool designed to uncover trading opportunities by blending market cap analysis and momentum dynamics. Inspired by research-backed quantitative strategies, this indicator helps traders identify trend-following and mean-reversion setups in the cryptocurrency market by evaluating recent performance and market cap size.
This indicator classifies cryptocurrencies into market cap quintiles and ranks them based on their 2-week momentum. It then suggests potential trades—whether to go long, anticipate reversals, or simply hold—based on the crypto's market cap group and momentum trends.
👽 How the Indicator Works
👾 Market Cap Classification
The indicator categorizes cryptocurrencies into one of five market cap groups based on user-defined inputs:
Large Cap: Highest market cap tier
Upper Mid Cap: Second highest group
Mid Cap: Middle-tier market caps
Lower Mid Cap: Slightly below the mid-tier
Small Cap: Lowest market cap tier
This classification dynamically adjusts based on the provided market cap data, ensuring that you’re always working with a representative market structure.
👾 Momentum Calculation
By default, the indicator uses a 2-week momentum measure (e.g., a 14-day lookback when set to daily). It compares a cryptocurrency’s current price to its price 14 bars ago, thereby quantifying its short-term performance. Users can adjust the momentum period and rebalance period to capture shorter or longer-term trends depending on their trading style.
👾 Dynamic Ranking and Trade Suggestions
After assigning cryptos to size quintiles, the indicator sorts them by their momentum within each quintile. This two-step process results in:
Long Trade: For smaller market cap groups (Small, Lower Mid, Mid Cap) that have low (bottom-quintile) momentum, anticipating a trend continuation or breakout.
Reversal Trade: For the largest market cap group (Large Cap) that shows low momentum, expecting a mean-reversion back to equilibrium.
Hold: In scenarios where the coin’s momentum doesn’t present a strong contrarian or trend-following signal.
👽 Applications
👾 Trend-Following in Smaller Caps: Identify small or mid-cap cryptos with low momentum that might be poised for a breakout or sustained trend.
👾 Mean-Reversion in Large Caps: Pinpoint large-cap cryptocurrencies experiencing a temporary lull in performance, potentially ripe for a rebound.
👽 Why It Works in Crypto
The cryptocurrency market is heavily driven by retail investor sentiment and volatility. Research shows that:
Small-Cap Cryptos: Tend to experience higher volatility and speculative trends, making them ideal for momentum trades.
Large-Cap Cryptos: Exhibit more predictable behavior, making them suitable for mean-reversion strategies when momentum is low.
This indicator captures these dynamics to give traders a strategic edge in identifying both momentum and reversal opportunities.
👽 Indicator Settings
👾 Rebalance Period: The frequency at which momentum and trade suggestions are recalculated (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
Shorter Periods (Daily): Fast updates, suitable for short-term trades, but more noise.
Longer Periods (Weekly/Monthly): Smoother signals, ideal for swing trading and more stable trends.
👾 Momentum Period: The lookback period for momentum calculation (default is 14 bars).
Shorter Periods: More responsive but prone to noise.
Longer Periods : Reflects broader trends, reducing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations.

3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by ParthibIndicator Name: 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib
Description:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is a dynamic trend-following strategy that combines three key simple moving averages (SMA) — SMA 20, SMA 50, and SMA 200 — to generate buy and sell signals. This strategy uses these SMAs to capture and follow market trends, helping traders identify optimal entry (buy) and exit (sell) points. Additionally, the strategy highlights the closing price (CP), which plays a critical role in confirming buy and sell signals.
The strategy also features a Second Buy Signal triggered if the price falls more than 10% after an initial buy signal, providing a re-entry opportunity with a different visual highlight for the second buy signal.
Features:
Three Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
SMA 20: Short-term moving average reflecting immediate market trends.
SMA 50: Medium-term moving average showing the prevailing trend.
SMA 200: Long-term moving average that indicates the overall market trend.
Buy Signal (B1):
Triggered when:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20, indicating a bullish market structure.
The closing price is positioned below all three SMAs, confirming a potential upward reversal.
A green label appears at the low of the bar with the text B1-Price, indicating the price at which the buy signal is generated.
Second Buy Signal (B2):
Triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, providing an opportunity to re-enter the market at a potentially better price.
A blue label appears at the low of the bar with the text B2-Price, showing the price at which the second buy opportunity arises.
Sell Signal (S):
Triggered when:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200, indicating a bearish trend.
The closing price (CP) is positioned above all three SMAs, confirming a potential downward movement.
A red label appears at the high of the bar with the text S-Price, showing the price at which the sell signal is triggered.
How It Works:
Buy Conditions:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20: Indicates a bullish market where the long-term trend (SMA 200) is above the medium-term (SMA 50), and the medium-term trend is above the short-term (SMA 20).
Closing price below all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential upward reversal.
Sell Conditions:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200: This setup indicates a bearish trend.
Closing price above all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential downward movement.
Second Buy Signal (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, the strategy triggers a second buy opportunity (B2) at a potentially better price. This helps traders take advantage of pullbacks or corrections after an initial favorable entry.
Labeling System:
B1-Price: The first buy signal label, appearing when the market is bullish and the closing price is below all three SMAs.
B2-Price: The second buy signal label, triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the initial buy signal.
S-Price: The sell signal label, appearing when the market turns bearish and the closing price is above all three SMAs.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Add "3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib" to your chart on TradingView.
Interpret Buy Signals (B1): Look for green labels with the text "B1-Price" when the closing price (CP) is below all three SMAs and the trend is bullish.
Interpret Second Buy Signals (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy, look for blue labels with "B2-Price" and a re-entry opportunity.
Interpret Sell Signals (S): Look for red labels with the text "S-Price" when the market turns bearish, and the closing price (CP) is above all three SMAs.
Conclusion:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is an efficient and simple trend-following tool for traders looking to make informed buy and sell decisions. By combining the power of three SMAs and the closing price (CP) confirmation, this strategy helps traders to buy when the market shows a strong bullish setup and sell when the trend turns bearish. Additionally, the second buy signal feature ensures that traders don’t miss out on re-entry opportunities after price corrections, giving them a chance to re-enter the market at a favorable price.
WhalenatorThis custom TradingView indicator combines multiple analytic techniques to help identify potential market trends, areas of support and resistance, and zones of heightened trading activity. It incorporates a SuperTrend-like line based on ATR, Keltner Channels for volatility-based price envelopes, and dynamic order blocks derived from significant volume and pivot points. Additionally, it highlights “whale” activities—periods of exceptionally large volume—along with an estimated volume profile level and approximate bid/ask volume distribution. Together, these features aim to offer traders a more comprehensive view of price structure, volatility, and institutional participation.
This custom TradingView indicator integrates multiple trading concepts into a single, visually descriptive tool. Its primary goal is to help traders identify directional bias, volatility levels, significant volume events, and potential support/resistance zones on a price chart. Below are the main components and their functionalities:
SuperTrend-Like Line (Trend Bias):
At the core of the indicator is a trend-following line inspired by the SuperTrend concept, which uses Average True Range (ATR) to adaptively set trailing stop levels. By comparing price to these levels, the line attempts to indicate when the market is in an uptrend (price above the line) or a downtrend (price below the line). The shifting levels can provide a dynamic sense of direction and help traders stay with the predominant trend until it shifts.
Keltner Channels (Volatility and Range):
Keltner Channels, based on an exponential moving average and Average True Range, form volatility-based envelopes around price. They help traders visualize whether price is extended (touching or moving outside the upper/lower band) or trading within a stable range. This can be useful in identifying low-volatility consolidations and high-volatility breakouts.
Dynamic Order Blocks (Approximations of Supply/Demand Zones):
By detecting pivot highs and lows under conditions of significant volume, the indicator approximates "order blocks." Order blocks are areas where institutional buying or selling may have occurred, potentially acting as future support or resistance zones. Although these approximations are not perfect, they offer a visual cue to areas on the chart where price might react strongly if revisited.
Volume Profile Proxy and Whale Detection:
The indicator highlights price levels associated with recent maximum volume activity, providing a rough "volume profile" reference. Such levels often become key points of price interaction.
"Whale" detection logic attempts to identify bars where exceptionally large volume occurs (beyond a defined threshold). By tracking these "whale bars," traders can infer where heavy participation—often from large traders or institutions—may influence market direction or create zones of interest.
Approximate Bid/Ask Volume and Dollar Volume Tracking:
The script estimates whether volume within each bar leans more towards the bid or the ask side, aiming to understand which participant (buyers or sellers) might have been more aggressive. Additionally, it calculates dollar volume (close price multiplied by volume) and provides an average to gauge the relative participation strength over time.
Labeling and Visual Aids:
Dynamic labels display Whale Frequency (the ratio of bars with exceptionally large volume), average dollar volume, and approximate ask/bid volume metrics. This gives traders at-a-glance insights into current market conditions, participation, and sentiment.
Strengths:
Multifaceted Analysis:
By combining trend, volatility, volume, and order block logic in one place, the indicator saves chart space and simplifies the analytical process. Traders gain a holistic view without flipping between multiple separate tools.
Adaptable to Market Conditions:
The use of ATR and Keltner Channels adapts to changing volatility conditions. The SuperTrend-like line helps keep traders aligned with the prevailing trend, avoiding constant whipsaws in choppy markets.
Volume-Based Insights:
Integrating whale detection and a crude volume profile proxy helps traders understand where large players might be interacting. This perspective can highlight critical levels that might not be evident from price action alone.
Convenient Visual Cues and Labels:
The indicator provides quick reference points and textual information about the underlying volume dynamics, making decision-making potentially faster and more informed.
Weaknesses:
Heuristic and Approximate Nature:
Many of the indicator’s features, like the "order blocks," "whale detection," and the approximate bid/ask volume, rely on heuristics and assumptions that may not always be accurate. Without actual Level II data or true volume profiles, the insights are best considered as supplementary, not definitive signals.
Lagging Components:
Indicators that rely on past data, like ATR-based trends or moving averages for Keltner Channels, inherently lag behind price. This can cause delayed signals, particularly in fast-moving markets, potentially missing some early opportunities or late in confirming market reversals.
No Guaranteed Predictive Power:
As with any technical tool, it does not forecast the future with certainty. Strong volume at a certain level or a bullish SuperTrend reading does not guarantee price will continue in that direction. Market conditions can change unexpectedly, and false signals will occur.
Complexity and Overreliance Risk:
With multiple signals combined, there’s a risk of information overload. Traders might feel compelled to rely too heavily on this one tool. Without complementary analysis (fundamentals, news, or additional technical confirmation), overreliance on the indicator could lead to misguided trades.
Conclusion:
This integrated indicator offers a comprehensive visual guide to market structure, volatility, and activity. Its strength lies in providing a multi-dimensional viewpoint in a single tool. However, traders should remain aware of its approximations, inherent lags, and the potential for conflicting signals. Sound risk management, position sizing, and the use of complementary analysis methods remain essential for trading success.
Risks Associated with Trading:
No indicator can guarantee profitable trades or accurately predict future price movements. Market conditions are inherently unpredictable, and reliance on any single tool or combination of tools carries the risk of financial loss. Traders should practice sound risk management, including the use of stop losses and position sizing, and should not trade with funds they cannot afford to lose. Ultimately, decisions should be guided by a thorough trading plan and possibly supplemented with other forms of market analysis or professional advice.
Risks and Important Considerations:
• Not a Standalone Tool:
• This indicator should not be used in isolation. It is essential to incorporate additional technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and market context when making trading decisions.
• Relying solely on this indicator may lead to incomplete assessments of market conditions.
• Market Volatility and False Signals:
• Financial markets can be highly volatile, and indicators based on historical data may not accurately predict future movements.
• The indicator may produce false signals due to sudden market changes, low liquidity, or atypical trading activity.
• Risk Management:
• Always employ robust risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and not over-leveraging positions.
• Understand that no indicator guarantees success, and losses are a natural part of trading.
• Emotional Discipline:
• Avoid making impulsive decisions based on indicator signals alone.
• Emotional trading can lead to significant financial losses; maintain discipline and adhere to a well-thought-out trading plan.
• Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
• Stay informed about market news, economic indicators, and global events that may impact trading conditions.
• Continuously evaluate and adjust your trading strategies as market dynamics evolve.
• Consultation with Professionals:
• Consider seeking advice from financial advisors or professional traders to understand better how this indicator can fit into your overall trading strategy.
• Professional guidance can provide personalized insights based on your financial goals and risk tolerance.

Fibonacci Bands [BigBeluga]The Fibonacci Band indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones based on Fibonacci ratios. It overlays three sets of Fibonacci ratio bands (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) around a central trend line, dynamically adapting to price movements. This structure enables traders to track trends, visualize potential liquidity sweep areas, and spot reversal points for strategic entries and exits.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Fibonacci Bands for Support & Resistance:
The Fibonacci Band indicator applies three key Fibonacci ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) to construct dynamic bands around a smoothed price. These levels often act as critical support and resistance areas, marked with labels displaying the percentage and corresponding price. The 100% band level is especially crucial, signaling potential liquidity sweep zones and reversal points.
Mean Reversion Signals at 100% Bands:
When price moves above or below the 100% band, the indicator generates mean reversion signals.
Trend Detection with Midline:
The central line acts as a trend-following tool: when solid, it indicates an uptrend, while a dashed line signals a downtrend. This adaptive midline helps traders assess the prevailing market direction while keeping the chart clean and intuitive.
Extended Price Projections:
All Fibonacci bands extend to future bars (default 30) to project potential price levels, providing a forward-looking perspective on where price may encounter support or resistance. This feature helps traders anticipate market structure in advance and set targets accordingly.
Liquidity Sweep:
--
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Lows:
The price action moves below a previous low, capturing sell-side liquidity (stop-losses from long positions or entries for breakout traders).
The wick suggests that the price quickly reversed, leaving a failed breakout below support.
This is a classic liquidity grab, often indicating a bullish reversal .
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Highs:
The price spikes above a prior high, sweeping buy-side liquidity (stop-losses from short positions or breakout entries).
The wick signifies rejection, suggesting a failed breakout above resistance.
This is a bearish liquidity sweep , often followed by a mean reversion or a downward move.
Display Customization:
To declutter the chart, traders can choose to hide Fibonacci levels and only display overbought/oversold zones along with the trend-following midline and mean reversion signals. This option enables a clearer focus on key reversal areas without additional distractions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Period Length: Adjust the length of the smoothed moving average for more reactive or smoother bands.
Channel Width: Customize the width of the Fibonacci channel.
Fibonacci Ratios: Customize the Fibonacci ratios to reflect personal preference or unique market behaviors.
Future Projection Extension: Set the number of bars to extend Fibonacci bands, allowing flexibility in projecting price levels.
Hide Fibonacci Levels: Toggle the visibility of Fibonacci levels for a cleaner chart focused on overbought/oversold regions and midline trend signals.
Liquidity Sweep: Toggle the visibility of Liquidity Sweep points
The Fibonacci Band indicator provides traders with an advanced framework for analyzing market structure, liquidity sweeps, and trend reversals. By integrating Fibonacci-based levels with trend detection and mean reversion signals, this tool offers a robust approach to navigating dynamic price action and finding high-probability trading opportunities.
Salman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price ActionSalman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price Action Tool for Pin Bars, Breakouts, and VWAP Anchoring
This indicator provides a comprehensive suite of price action insights, designed for active traders looking to identify key market structures and potential reversals. The script incorporates a Quarterly VWAP for trend bias, marks pin bars for possible reversal points, highlights outside bars for volatility signals, and indicates simple breakouts and pivot-level breaks. Customizable settings allow for flexibility in various trading styles, with default settings optimized for daily charts.
Outside Bars : Represented by an ⤬ symbol on the chart, these indicate bars where the current high is greater than the previous bar’s high, and the low is lower than the previous bar’s low, signaling high volatility and potential market reversals.
Pin Bars : Denoted by a small dot at the top or bottom of a candle’s wick, these are crucial signals of potential reversal areas. Pin bars are identified based on the percentage length of their shadows, with adjustable strictness in settings.
Quarterly VWAP : The light blue line on the chart represents the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), which is anchored to the Quarterly period by default. The VWAP acts as a directional bias filter, helping you to determine underlying market trends. This period, source, and offset are fully adjustable in the script’s settings.
Simple Breaks : Hollow candles on the chart indicate "simple breaks," defined when the current bar closes above the previous high or below the previous low. This is an effective way to highlight directional momentum in the market.
Bonus Pivot Breaks : The tilde symbol ~ appears when the price closes above or below prior pivot high/low levels, helping traders spot significant breakout or breakdown points relative to recent pivots.
Alerts
Simple Breaks : Alerts you when a breakout occurs beyond the previous bar’s high or low. Pin Bars : Notifies you of potential reversal points as indicated by bullish or bearish pin bars. Outside Bars : Triggers an alert whenever an outside bar is detected, indicating possible volatility changes.
How to Use
VWAP for Trend Bias : Use the Quarterly VWAP line to gauge overall market trend, with settings that allow adjustment to daily, weekly, monthly, or even larger time frames.
Pin Bars for Reversal Potential : Look for the dot markers on candle wicks, where the strictness of the pin bar detection can be adjusted via settings to match your trading preference.
Simple and Pivot Breaks for Momentum : Watch for hollow candles and the tilde symbol ~ as indicators of potential breakout momentum and pivot break levels, respectively.
This script can serve traders on multiple timeframes, from daily to weekly and beyond. The flexible configuration allows for adjustments in VWAP anchoring and pin bar criteria, providing a tailored fit for individual trading strategies.
Sweep + MSS# Sweep + MSS Indicator
This indicator identifies market sweeps and Market Structure Shifts (MSS) to help traders recognize potential trend changes and market manipulations.
How it works:
1. Sweep Detection:
- Identifies when price briefly moves beyond a recent high/low (pivot point) and then reverses.
- Bullish sweep: Price drops below a recent low, then closes above it.
- Bearish sweep: Price rises above a recent high, then closes below it.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS):
- Occurs when price action invalidates a previous sweep level.
- Bullish MSS: Price closes above a bearish sweep level.
- Bearish MSS: Price closes below a bullish sweep level.
Key Features:
- Customizable pivot lookback length for sweep detection
- Minimum bar requirement after a sweep before MSS can trigger
- One MSS per sweep level to avoid multiple signals
- Visual representation with lines connecting sweep points to MSS triggers
- Emoji labels for easy identification (🐂-MSS for bullish, 🐻-MSS for bearish)
Logic Behind MSS:
The MSS aims to identify potential trend changes by recognizing when the market invalidates a previous sweep level. This often indicates a shift in market structure, suggesting that the previous trend may be weakening or reversing.
- A bullish MSS occurs when the price closes above a bearish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment.
- A bearish MSS occurs when the price closes below a bullish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.
By requiring a minimum number of bars between the sweep and the MSS, the indicator helps filter out noise and focuses on more significant structural changes in the market.
This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders looking to identify potential trend changes and entry/exit points based on market structure analysis.
Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements. By integrating the model with other critical trading concepts such as the Power of Three (PO3), Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC), and Turtle Soup setups, traders can enhance their ability to identify high-probability trades and achieve better trading outcomes.
Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames. Recognizing these states aids traders in determining the appropriate conditions for entering trades, particularly when combined with the power of three and candle range patterns. This understanding is crucial for positioning trades in alignment with market momentum.
High Probability Setups:
By aligning the 3 Candle Model with inside bar setups, traders can optimize their strategies for high-probability outcomes. This approach capitalizes on the inherent fractal nature of price movements, where previous patterns repeat at different scales. The combination of the model and inside bar setups enhances the trader's toolkit, allowing for more strategic trade placements.
Turtle Soup Formation:
The 3 Candle Model intricately connects with the Turtle Soup concept, which focuses on false breakouts. Identifying these formations at critical levels enhances the trader's ability to anticipate reversals or continuation patterns. The timing of these setups, particularly during specified times like 3:00 AM, 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 1:00 PM, is crucial for maximizing trade success.
Using the 3 Candle Model in Trading
Integration with PO3:
The Power of Three (PO3) is a fundamental aspect of the 3 Candle Model that emphasizes the significance of three distinct stages of price delivery. Traders can leverage this principle by observing the initial range, confirming patterns, and executing trades during the third phase, leading to higher risk-to-reward ratios. This three-stage approach enhances a trader's ability to make informed decisions based on market behavior.
Targeting Midpoints:
Successful application of the 3 Candle Model involves targeting the midpoints of identified ranges. This practice not only provides strategic entry points but also enhances the probability of reaching desired profit levels. By targeting these midpoints, traders can refine their exit strategies and manage risk more effectively.
Aligning with Market Timing:
Timing is everything in trading. By synchronizing the 3 Candle Model setups with the aforementioned key timeframes, traders can better position themselves to exploit market dynamics. This alignment also facilitates the identification of high-quality trades that exhibit strong potential for profitability.
Prioritizing A+ Setups:
By focusing on the 3 Candle Model and its associated concepts, traders can prioritize A+ setups that exhibit a strong alignment of factors. This methodical approach enhances the quality of trades taken, leading to improved overall performance. By cultivating a strategy centered on high-probability setups, traders can maximize their return on investment.

Cumulative Volume Delta Histogram [TradingFinder] CVD Histogram🔵 Introduction
To fully understand Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it’s important to start by explaining Volume Delta. In trading, "Delta" refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points. Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure for each candlestick on a chart, and this difference can vary across different time frames.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling pressure is stronger. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator tracks the cumulative difference between buying and selling volumes over time, helping traders analyze market dynamics and identify reliable trading signals through CVD divergences.
🔵 How to Use
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is an essential technical analysis tool that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator. This helps traders evaluate overall buying and selling pressure over market swings.
Unlike standard Volume Delta, which compares the delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides a broader view of buying and selling pressure during market trends. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment, suggesting buyers are in control. This analysis becomes even more valuable when compared with price action and market structure, helping traders predict the direction of asset prices.
🟣 How to Use CVD in Trend Analysis and Market Reversals
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price movements or signs of volume exhaustion can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns helps traders make more informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 How to Spot Trend Exhaustion with CVD
CVD is particularly effective for identifying trend exhaustion in the market. For instance, if an asset's price hits a new low, but CVD doesn’t follow, this might indicate a lack of seller interest, signaling potential exhaustion and a possible reversal.
Similarly, if an asset reaches a new high but CVD fails to follow, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible reversal to the downside.
🟣 How to Use CVD Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence may indicate that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in asset prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, which could lead to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if prices remain stable while CVD declines, it may indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once the selling subsides.
🟣 CVD Display, Candlestick vs. Histogram – What’s the Difference?
CVD can be displayed in two different formats :
Candlestick Display : In this format, the data is shown as green and red candlesticks, each representing the difference in buying and selling pressure over a given time period. This display allows traders to visually analyze market pressure along with price changes.
Histogram Display : Here, the data is represented as vertical green and red bars, where each bar’s height corresponds to the volume delta. This format offers a clearer view of the strengths and weaknesses in market buying and selling pressure.
🟣 What are the Key Settings for CVD?
Cumulative Mode : CVD offers three modes: "Total," "Periodic," and "EMA." In "Total" mode, CVD accumulates the delta from the beginning to the end of the session. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates volume periodically, resetting at specific intervals. In "EMA" mode, the CVD is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter out short-term fluctuations.
Period : The "Period" setting allows you to define the number of bars or intervals for "Periodic" and "EMA" modes. A shorter period captures more short-term movements, while a longer period smooths out the fluctuations and provides a broader view of market trends.
Market Ultra Data : This feature integrates data from 26 major brokers into the volume calculations, providing more reliable volume data. It’s important to specify the type of market you are analyzing (Forex, crypto, etc.) as different brokers contribute to different markets. Enabling this setting ensures the highest accuracy in volume analysis.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful technical indicator that helps traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating the delta values of each candlestick. Whether displayed as candlesticks or histograms, CVD provides insights into market trends, helping traders make informed decisions.
CVD is particularly useful in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it can signal a potential trend reversal. Traders use this tool to fine-tune their entry and exit points and better predict future market movements.
In summary, CVD is a versatile tool for analyzing volume data and understanding the balance of buying and selling pressure in the market, making it an invaluable asset in any trader’s toolkit
Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
