Nirmal Fair Value GapsICT Fair Value Gaps Trade Wisely How a Fair Value Gap Works Formation: A Fair Value Gap occurs when a strong price movement (usually from institutional orders) creates an imbalance between buyers and sellers. This is typically seen in a three-candle pattern, where the middle candle has a large body, and the two surrounding candles have wicks but little overlap with the middle candle’s range. Identification: The FVG is marked between the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (for bullish gaps). For bearish gaps, it’s the low of the first candle and the high of the third candle. Market Behavior Around FVG: Price often retraces into the gap before resuming its original direction. This happens because the market seeks to "fill" the imbalance where few trades occurred. Traders use FVGs as potential entry zones for trend continuation trades. Trading Fair Value Gaps In an Uptrend: Look for bullish fair value gaps as potential support zones for buy entries. Price may dip into the gap and then continue upward. In a Downtrend: Look for bearish fair value gaps as potential resistance zones for sell entries. Price may retrace into the gap and then drop further. Confluence Factors: FVGs work best when combined with other strategies like order blocks, liquidity zones, or key Fibonacci levels.

SiCInside Sweep Close (ISC): This concept captures a specific price action behavior and can help refine trading strategies for better precision. Here's a detailed explanation: Inside: The closing price of the candle stays within the range of the previous candle. This indicates a containment of price action, suggesting indecision or preparation for a significant move. Sweep: The wick of the candle takes out (or "sweeps") the low (or high) of the previous candle. This sweep can trigger stop-losses of retail traders or activate pending orders, often used by smart money strategies. Close: The candle ultimately closes inside the range of the previous candle. This close signifies that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine breakout, providing an actionable trading signal. How ISC Can Be Used in Trading: Liquidity Grab Recognition: ISC can indicate when liquidity is swept from the market, making it an ideal entry point for traders anticipating a reversal or continuation. Smart Money Concept (SMC) Synergy: If you follow SMC principles, ISC aligns with key concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and mitigation zones. Risk Management: By identifying the ISC setup, you can place tighter stop-loss levels just outside the sweep, optimizing risk-reward ratios. Entry Signals: When you spot an ISC, you can enter trades at the close of the candle, anticipating a move in the direction opposite to the sweep. Example of ISC in Action: Imagine a bearish candle: The wick sweeps the low of the previous candle, possibly triggering stop-losses. However, the close stays inside the previous candle’s range. This setup might indicate a reversal, where price moves upward after grabbing liquidity. Why This Name Works: It’s concise, professional, and directly linked to the trading action you’re describing. The short form, ISC, is easy to remember and discuss within trading circles or while teaching others. It ties into widely known concepts like smart money, price action, and liquidity sweeps, making it relatable yet unique. Does this align with how you envision using the concept? Let me know if you’d like more refinements or visual examples!

TheHorsyAlgoPROThe Horsy algo is an automated strategy that uses any minute Higher timeframe range as reference and search for a purge of liquidity on the HTF high or low where buyside or sell side liquidity is, the algo only search this at specific desired times that can be configured according to the time you usually trade, the strategy is known as Turtle soup purge and reverse or lately as CRT. Why is useful? The purpose of this Algorithm is to help turtle soup traders to quickly identify when the market is likely to reverse the algo evaluates if the opportunity is worth it, base on risk reward and other desired filters. Also this strategy can help to quickly backtest the trader strategy it can be configured in different timeframes and adapt to the trader personality, they can easily see the results and statistics and notice if its profitable or not. This algo is useful for intraday traders looking for a purge and reverse at a key times and at key HTF price levels this only looks the previous HTF highs and lows but is important to also monitor Order blocks, FVGs, gaps, or wicks to have the best results. How it works and how it does it? The Horsy algo simply Jumps from one type of liquidity to another one buyside to sell side or vice versa. In order for the algo to trigger an entry it has to meet these conditions 1. Take HTF liquidity, trade above a HTF high or below a HTF low in the selected time window 2. Make a change in the state of delivery with a close below the previous candle low for shorts and close above previous candle high for longs. 3. Allow for a reasonable risk reward, it will use the highest high for shorts and the lowest low for longs. The default take profit is the opposite side of the range. 4. Validate others user filters this include enter only trades aligned with the HTF bias, or trades aligned with the LTF bias or booth. The algo have the option to enter only premium and discount entries. And finally, an option to allow for different contract sizes depending of the maximum percent of the account we want to risk default is 1%. For this last option is important to check the initial balance and leverage are configured correctly, is disable by default because it requires more capital to perform well. We can see the algo performing in the picture below with a short trade, notice there are some white lines, they are the high or the low of HTF candle that start generating inside candles in the HTF meaning a possible consolidation. The algo plots the HTF ranges in a shaded boxes as you can see below The HTF bias as you can see in the picture is calculated based on the last close of the HTF meaning close above previous HTF high is bullish close below previous HTF low is bearish. This HTF bias level is also the last HTF mid-price or 50%. By default, this line is enabled. The LTF bias is calculated based on the range created from the expansion outside the previous HTF range is also the mid-price. If the LTF close above previous HTF high is bullish and if the LTF close below previous HTF low is bearish. By default this LTF bias line is disable. This strategy includes an original and personal developed code that uses dealing ranges to recognize if the market is expanding, retracing, reversing or consolidating. This allow the algo to exit the position when it detects a retracement or at the end of the expansion. This is the default exit type. You can monitor the previous dealing ranges created in history with an option than can be enable, by default is disable, this ranges are created after price takes buyside and then sell side or vice versa. So this dealing ranges can be useful also to identify minor pools of liquidity and premium and discount in the lower timeframe. The picture below is a long example, the exit in this case is just at the high of the range. The normal take profit is in a blue line for longs. How to use it? First select the desired HTF timeframe recommended is from 30min to 240min then you setup the chart on the lower timeframe you want to trade recommended is from 1min to 15min to enter. By default This strategy is designed to work for intraday during key times when price take stops and then moves quickly away from them. You can select as much as 6 different times or just one. After you select the desired time window where the algo will look for the purge and reverse, They are highlighted in the candles that change colors excluding the gray ones that indicates consolidation. Then the Algo allow to performs several additional filters in the entries you can select if you want to trade only longs or shorts trades, you can select when to move the stop loss to Break even. In deviations of the risk or you can just select to remove risk when price hits the 50% of previous HTF range. You can select the minimum desired risk reward of the trade before is allow to be taken. Once is configured correctly the algo should trigger signals with a triangle up or down plus the strategy entry. At the beginning of the picture there are some blue lines in the HTF high low and close, this is to easily identify that the market is in the Asia session, the time can be configured by the user, these lines are normally gray. On the right top of the screen you can see some statistics about the strategy how many trades it took, ARR is an approximated value of the accumulated total risk reward of all the trades when they get closed in the simulation. Profit factor and percent profitable are also shown should be green it means that the strategy makes money over time. But apart from that is important to notice how it makes money it is stable over time? it is a roller coaster? that why I Include this other measurements MxcsTps is the maximum consecutives take profits and Mxcsls is the maximum consecutive stop losses it takes, the slash number after it is the consecutive Break evens. So this way you know what to expect and what is normal in the strategy. The algo shows all the times the stop loss, take profit and break even level if enable in the colored red lines for short and blue lines for longs. You can also select how price will manage the profit or stoploss point meaning that you can choose to wait for the candle to close to invalidate your idea or to take profit. This is good to avoid liquidity sweeps but can also lead to mayor loses if the idea is wrong. The default setting is to close the trade when price takes the high or low where the stoploss is, the take profit is taken after a retracement to allow to profit on expansions. You can select also to exit on a reversal if you want to ride all the move. This last option has to be used with caution because sometimes price just retrace or reverse very fast decreasing the trade profit and overall strategy performance. The algo have the option to use standard deviation from the normal risk if you prefer to prevent liquidity sweeps near the stop level this make wider stops but can lead to increased loses so it has to be used carefully. Below is a picture that show the entry stop and take profit levels with an exit on a retracement activated. Strategy Results The backtesting results are obtained simulating a 2000usd account in the Micro Nasdaq using 1 contract per trade. Commission are set to 2usd per contract, slippage to 1tick. You can see in list of trades we are not risking more than 1 % percent of the account. The backtested range is from august to November 2024. This strategy doesn’t generate too much trades because of the time filters and conditions that has to be meet to take an entry but you can see the results of the last 4months with the available data that are around 32 trades. The default settings for this strategy is HTF as 240min designed to work on a LTF 5min chart, the default purge times are 245-300, 745-800, 845-900, 1045-1100 and 1245-1300 UTC-4, the algo will look for shorts or longs, with a minimum risk reward of 2.0. With an additional filter of the HTFBias. The take profit is by default taken on the first retracement after hitting the target. The default settings are optimized to work on the Nasdaq or Spy, but can also perform well in other assets with the correct adjustments. Remember entries constitute only a small component of a complete winning strategy. Other factors like risk management, position-sizing, trading frequency, trading fees, and many others must also be properly managed to achieve profitability. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. To really take advantage of this strategy you have to study turtle soup and the HTF key levels use this only as a confirmation that your overall idea will play out and use it to backtest your model. Summary of features ·Adaptable strategy to different HTF timeframes from 1-1440min · Select up to 6 different purge time windows UTC-4, UTC-5 · Choose desired Risk Reward per trade · Easily see the HTF high low close and 50% key levels in the LTF · Identify HTF consolidations that generate key major liquidity pools · HTF/LTF bias filters to trade in favor of the big trend or in sync · Shaded boxes that indicate if the market is bullish, bearish or consolidating · See the current midpoint of the last expansion move · Optimal trade entry filter to trade only in a discount or premium · Customizable trade management take profit, stop, breakeven level · Option to exit on a close, retracement or reversal after hitting the take profit level · Option to exit on a close or reversal after hitting stop loss · Configurable breakeven point with standard deviations or at 50% of the HTF · Calculate different contract sizes depending of a percentage of the initial balance · Standard deviations from normal risk can be used to prevent liquidity sweeps · See dealing ranges history to check minor pools of liquidity and premium or discount · Dashboard with instant statistics about the strategy current settings

FU Candle Indicator V3.2What the FU Candle Indicator does: First we need to understand what FU candles are. There's bullish and bearish FU candles. Bullish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles low, then turns around and closes above the high of the previous candle. Bearish FU candles are candles that have a long wick that takes out the previous candles high, then turns around and closes below the low of the previous candle. Then there's so called attempted FU candles (ATT FU) The difference between normal FU candles and ATT FU candles is, that the ATT FU candle doesn't close above/below the high/low of the previous candle but only above the previous candle's body close. Bullish ATT FU Candle: Bearish ATT FU Candle: Detection of Bullish FU Candles: Bullish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle. Then the distance between the previous candles high and the current candles close price are measured. If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle high = Bullish FU Candle. Detection of Bullish ATT FU Candles: Bullish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle. Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison. If current candle low < previous candle low and current candle close > previous candle open or close = Bullish ATT FU Candle. Detection of Bearish FU Candles: Bearish FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle. Then the distance between the previous candles low, AND the current candles close price are measured. If current candle high > previous candle high, AND current candle close < previous candle low = Bearish FU Candle. Detection of Bearish ATT FU Candles: Bearish ATT FU Candles are detected by measuring the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle. Then the distance between the previous candles close or open price and the current candles close price are measured. If the previous candle closed bearish, the open price is used for comparison, if the previous candle closed bullish, the close price is used for comparison. If current candle high > previous candle high and current candle close < previous candle open or close = Bearish ATT FU Candle. What makes this script unique? It shows and liquidity grab and a break of structure on a lower timeframe in one candle. It allows to adjust the settings for the asset and timeframe you're using The built in filters (Fractal Filter and EMA Filter) are both optional but allow to filter out certain candles and most importantly it leaves room for experimentation and optimisation to your trading style. Input Settings and how to use them: Bullish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bullish FU candles. Bearish FU Candle Color --> This setting is to set the color for bearish FU candles. Chart --> This setting enables you to display FU's on different timeframes instead of only the current time. It's set to current timeframe by default. Liq. Grab in Points --> This is the strength of the liquidity grab. By how many points has the current candle taken out the low/ high of the previous candle. It's set to 20 by default but it has to be adjusted to the timeframe and asset you're using. Engulfing in Points --> This the strength of the engulfing of the previous candle. It measures the distance of the current close price to the open, close, high or low of the previous candle. It depends if the current candle is bullish or bearish and if the previous candle was bullish or bearish and if ATT FUs are enabled but this setting applies to all methods. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you're using. Min. Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out tiny candles. It measures the overall size of the FU candle from low to high. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using. Min. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a tiny body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 20 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using. Max. Body Size in Points --> This setting is to filter out FU candles that have a huge body. It measures the size of the body from open to close. It's set to 10000 by default but you have to adjust it to the asset and timeframe you are using. Show ATT FU Candles --> ATT FU Candles are FU's where the body only engulfs the previous candles body but not the wick. This type of FU candles is just as valid as the strong FU's where the Body and the wick of the previous Candle is engulfed. The setting is enabled by default. Rejection Filter --> This setting is used filter out FU candles where the opposite side rejection is stronger than the body direction of the FU. This filters out a lot of traps. It's disabled by default. Fractal Filter --> FU's are only valid if they broke a fractal of the past x candles. This filters out some of the FU candles that are inside a range and therefore invalid. This is an optional filter and disabled by default. EMA Filter --> FU's are only if they are above/ below the EMA. This is to filter out most of the FU candles that are inside ranges. The EMA period can be set too. This is an optional filter and enabled and EMA length set to 7 by default. You can enable it and/ or change the length of the EMA to fit your trading style. Show Entry Lines --> The entry line setting has been changed in terms of styling. The upper and lower line has been removed. Now only the 50% retracement line of the candle body is displayed and the line type, color, strength and length can be set to keep charts as clean as possible. Alert Timeframes --> You can select the timeframes for which you want to receive an alert if you set and alert for the FU Candle indicator. If you set an alert for the FU Candle Indicator it will send an alert for every FU candle on every selected timeframe. TF1-TF8 --> This setting is to enable or disable alerts for timeframe 1 - timeframe 8. By default all alerts are disabled, I recommend only enabling the ones that you actually use. Recommended use: A bullish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a long and vice versa a bearish FU candle doesn't necessarily mean it's a short. In fact, most FU candles are traps. Often times you'll see a bullish FU candle starting a bearish reversal. Whenever you see an FU Candle check the following: Did the FU candle take relevant liquidity? Is the FU Candle in line with the overall bias or does it go against the bias? Where did the FU react? Example: A bearish FU candle that reacts in a bullish FVG is a perfect long entry and vice versa. A bullish FU candle that takes out a relevant swing high can often be a fake-out and price can immediately reverse as the next candle opens. Timing is also very important. Usually the valid FU candles happen after a strong move to one direction during high volume times and right before or right after a new candle opens on a higher timeframe. Examples of valid setups: Nr. 1) Mitigation Setup Overall bullish on the higher time frame, liquidity grab to the downside, shift in momentum, strong move to the upside left a FVG. later price comes back into the FVG and forms a FU candle --> perfect long trade targeting the opposite side of the range. Entry either at close of the FU or at the 50% retracement. Nr. 2) Trap Setup Clear bullish trend respecting the trend line, bearish FU candle forms but it didn't take any relevant liquidity to the upside. Only internal range liquidity. Perfect long entry using a buy limit below the lower wick of the FU candle with the SL below the nearest low. Nr. 3) Liquidity Grab Setup Bearish trend, price comes up aggressively and takes out a high and forms an FU Candle. Market entry short at close of the FU candle or at the 50% retracement of the FU candle or by putting a limit order right above the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle, targeting the opposite side of the range. Nr. 4) Fake Breakout Setup Price takes out a significant HTF low, then makes at least 2 BOS on the LTF and forms an Order Block or leaves an FVG. Price forms a bearish U that fails to close below the FVG or Orderblock. Market entry long at the close of the bearish FU targeting the opposite side of the range. Vice versa for shorts. In simple terms: Bullish FUs at the top of the range and bearish FUs at the bottom of the range are usually always traps. Sometimes price takes out the high/low of a trap FU before reversing aggressively so you can also have a limit order below the low of the bearish FU or above the high of a bullish FU in this case. But you risk missing the trade. Entry Methods: Entry Type 1) Market Entry at the close of the FU candle. --> Never miss a trade, not the best RRR. Entry Type 2 Limit Entry at the 50% retracement of the body of the FU candle. --> Miss some of the trades but better RRR. Entry Type 3 Limit order below the wick of the candle that follows the FU candle. --> Miss quite a lot of trades but by far best RRR. Why this is a closed source script: The source code of this script is not open because I have spent several years of my life developing it and I use it in all my trading bots. Also I'm open for feedback and will modify/ update the script for free if I get input that can make it better. For questions, please reach out via DM or check out my youtube channel. I have several videos explaining in detail how I use these candles, which are valid and which aren't.

itradesize /\ Previous Liquidity x ICTI’d like to introduce a clean and simple RTH gap and liquidity levels indicator with additional Asian and London ranges, along with standard deviation levels and many customizable options. Previous D/W/M highs and lows are areas where liquidity tends to accumulate. This is because many traders place stop-loss orders around these levels, creating a concentration of buy stops above the previous day's high and sell stops below the previous day's low. High-frequency trading algorithms and institutional traders often target these areas to capture liquidity. What the indicator could show in summary? - Regular trading hours gap with deviations - Asia with deviations (lines or boxes) - London with deviations (lines or boxes) - Weekdays on chart - 3 AM candle marker - Previous D/W/M levels - Important opening times (08:00, 09:30, 10:00, 14:00, 00:00, 18:00)
- Daily separators By marking out the previous day's highs and lows, traders can create a framework for their trading day. This helps in identifying potential setups and understanding where significant price action might occur. It also aids in filtering out noise and focusing on the most relevant price levels. These levels can also act as potential reversal points. When the market reaches a previous high or low, it might reverse direction, especially if it has raided the liquidity resting there. This concept is part of a strategy where traders look for the market to raid these levels and then reverse, providing trading opportunities  The indicator shows previous liquidity levels on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. It also displays opening times at 8:30, 9:30-10:00, 14:00-00:00, and 18:00. Opening times are crucial in trading because they help define specific periods when market activity is expected to be higher, which can lead to better trading opportunities.  The script has been made mostly for indices. You can create various entry and exit strategies based on the indicator. Please remember, that adequate knowledge of ICT is necessary for this to be beneficial.
 You might wonder why only these times are shown. This is because these are the times when the futures market is active or should be active. It's important to note that opening times can vary between different asset classes. 18:00 A new daily candle open 00:00 Midnight open 02:00 New 4-hour candle open 08:30 High-impact news 09:30 NY Equities open 10:00 New 4-hour candle open The concept of "Asian Killzone Standard Deviations" involves using the Asian trading session's price range to project potential price movements during subsequent trading sessions, such as the London or New York sessions. This is done by calculating standard deviations from the Asian range, which can help traders identify potential support and resistance levels. You can create a complete model by exclusively focusing on the Asian time zone. Deviations within this zone may have varying impacts on future price movements, and the Interbank Price Delivery Agreement (IPDA) often reflects Asia's high, close, and low prices. A similar approach can be taken with the London time zone. The standard deviation levels within each zone could potentially serve as support or indicate reversals, including liquidity hunts. It's important to backtest these ideas to gain reliable insights into when and where to apply them. * Asian Range: This is the price range established during the Asian trading session. It serves as a reference point for calculating standard deviations. * London Range: The same applies to the London range as well. Combine standard deviation projections with other technical analysis tools, such as order blocks or fair value gaps, to enhance accuracy. * Standard Deviations: These are statistical measures that indicate the amount of variation or dispersion from the average. In trading, they are used to project potential price levels beyond the current range. You can also use regular trading hours gap as a standalone model. The 4 STDV and 2.5 STDV levels are important for determining the high or low of the current price action.  The RTH gap is created when there is a difference between the closing price of a market at the end of one trading day and the opening price at the start of the next trading day. This gap can be upward (gap higher), downward (gap lower), or unchanged. It is significant because it often indicates market sentiment and can create inefficiencies that traders look to exploit. Alternatively, you can combine these elements to create a complete strategy for different scenarios.

Liquidity Grab Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW Introducing our new Liquidity Grab Screener! This screener can provide information about the latest liquidity grabs in up to 5 tickers. You can also customize the algorithm that finds the liquidity grabs and the styling of the screener. Features of the new Liquidity Grab Screener : Find Latest Liquidity Grabs Accross 5 Tickers Price, Size, Status Information Customizable Algoritm / Styling 📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ? Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a bubble is plotted. The bubble size is determined by the wick to body ratio of the candle. This screener then finds liquidity grabs accross 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them. Price -> The price when the liquidity grab happened. Size -> Size of the liquidity grab, determined by the wick-body ratio. Status -> Shows the elapsed time of the liquidity grab. 🚩UNIQUENESS Liquidity grabs can be useful when determining candles that have executed a lot of market orders, and planning your trades accordingly. This screener will find liquidity grabs from up to 5 tickers and give information about their price, size and status. The screener also lets you customize the pivot length and the wick-body ratio for liquidity grabs. ⚙️SETTINGS 1. Tickers You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan order blocks here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes. 2. General Configuration Pivot Length -> This setting determines the range of the pivots. This means a candle has to have the highest / lowest wick of the previous X bars and the next X bars to become a high / low pivot. Wick-Body Ratio -> After a pivot has a false breakout, the wick-body ratio of the latest candle is tested. The resulting ratio must be higher than this setting for it to be considered as a liquidity grab.

ICT Market Structure and OTE ZoneThis indicator is based on the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, and it helps identify daily market structure and the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone based on Fibonacci retracement levels. To read and interpret this indicator, follow these steps: Daily High and Low: The red line represents the daily high, while the green line represents the daily low. These lines help you understand the market structure and the range within which the price has moved during the previous day. OTE Zone: The gray area between two gray lines represents the optimal trade entry (OTE) zone. This zone is calculated using Fibonacci retracement levels (in this case, 61.8% and 78.6%) applied to the previous day's high and low. The OTE zone is an area where traders might expect a higher probability of a price reversal, following the ICT concepts. To use this indicator for trading decisions, you should consider the following: Identify the market structure and overall trend (uptrend, downtrend, or ranging). Watch for price action to enter the OTE zone. When the price reaches the OTE zone, it may indicate a higher probability of a price reversal. Combine the OTE zone with other confluences, such as support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or additional ICT concepts like order blocks and market maker profiles, to strengthen your trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and stop-loss orders to protect your capital in case the market moves against your trade. Keep in mind that the provided indicator is a simple example based on the ICT concepts and should not be considered financial advice. The ICT methodology is vast, and traders often combine multiple concepts to develop their trading strategies. The provided indicator should be treated as a starting point to explore and implement the ICT concepts in your trading strategy.

Daily and Weekly Sweep - LiquidityDaily and Weekly Sweep – Liquidity Description: The script is designed to illustrate the sweeps of the high and low of the previous day and week. The larger the ratio of shares traded to the percentage price change, the more deep and liquid the market is presumed to be, therefore the market maker always seeks liquidity. Liquidity rests above previous highs and below previous lows as many traders see these as obvious points to place their stops. These are areas on the chart where many orders are placed together and serve as tipping points for market makers. The script focuses on the previous day and week. We can assume these are potential areas for mitigation. How to use: The indicator plots the highs and lows of the previous day and week. On default, it also shows the high and low price for the first 8 hours of the opening day of the week. Users can customise this in settings. The weekly open is also plotted. The background changes colour once a daily/weekly high or low has been breached and stops at the extreme point of price. These areas may provide points of interest in the future. A good understanding of supply and demand, order blocks, market structure, and how to identify fresh levels is expected to utilise it's full potential. Alert function added for: - Daily Sweep - Weekly Sweep Indicator in use:

Deluxo Dow Kill ZonesCAPITALCOM:US30 Edit* under settings remove the plot line its not needed. Deluxo Capital Dow Kill Zone Indicator PLEASE READ ALL About: This will help you find large moves that happen often on US30. This will work for gj and probably other indices but I've designed this to work for US30 day trades. If I see a trade I will scalp within the blue zone, besides that the best trades are anywhere outside the colored zones and you will generally find good entry's/exits just as those zones end. So you're just scalping between these zones. Stay with me tho. How to use: You can trade the blue session or wait it out because that's a high risk area but with time you will enjoy trading it as you get to know how price reacts or how the order blocks/order flow looks. This works for: Day trades mainly but can be for swing trades. Time fame USE: 1-15min I like 5-15m Red Zone = This zone I like to enter shorts or longs all the way to the blue zone depending how price action reacted to the Asian high or low. Was the Asian high taken out?/was the Asian low taken out? Trades are taken around when this zone ends down to the blue zone. Blue Zone = Modified New York Session hours High vol window good scalps or enter trades after the blue zone to the next zone the Gray zone = 30 min Pre-Spread Warning. This zone is always the best time to exit your trades its just grays out 30 min before spreads open up. Some of the best trades are after the blue zone to this gray zone. EXTRA* I also use this indicator and I recommend you to use this aswell these two together work great I use them daily. AsiaSessionHighLowMidLines by marekmajer This is my personal system for scalping dow. I hope this helps you as much as it helps me and I'm sure as you see how price reacts you too can see the value in this. Please enjoy! You can adjust the colors and remove the plot line over the candles I don't code well this is my first time I just tossed this together and I can't remove the plot line so just uncheck it. Thank you Deluxo Capital

Wick Pressure Zones [BigBeluga] The Wick Pressure Zones indicator highlights areas where extreme wick activity occurred, signaling strong buy or sell pressure. By measuring unusually long upper or lower wicks and mapping them into gradient volume zones , the tool helps traders identify levels where liquidity was absorbed, leaving behind footprints of supply and demand imbalances. These zones often act as support, resistance, or liquidity sweep magnets . 🔵 CONCEPTS Extreme Wicks : Large upper or lower shadows indicate aggressive rejection — upper wicks suggest selling pressure, lower wicks suggest buying pressure. Volumatic Gradient Zones : From each detected wick, the indicator projects a layered gradient zone, proportional to the wick’s size, showing where most pressure occurred. Liquidity Footprints : These zones mark levels where significant buy/sell volume was executed, often becoming reaction points on future retests. Automatic Expiration : Zones persist until price decisively trades through them, after which they are cleared to keep the chart clean. 🔵 FEATURES Automatic Wick Detection : Identifies extreme upper and lower wick events using percentile filtering and Realative Strength Index. Gradient Zone Visualization : Builds a 10-layer zone from the wick top/bottom, shading intensity according to pressure strength. Volume Labels : Each zone is annotated with the bar’s volume at the origin point for added context. Dynamic Zone Extension : Zones extend to the right as long as they remain relevant; once price closes through them, they are removed. Support & Resistance Mapping : Upper wick zones (red) behave like supply/resistance, lower wick zones (green) like demand/support. Clutter Control : Limits the number of active zones (default 10) to keep charts responsive. Background Highlighting : Optional background shading when new wick zones appear (red for sell, green for buy). 🔵 HOW TO USE Look for Upper Wick Zones (red) : Indicate strong selling pressure; watch for resistance, reversals, or liquidity sweeps above. Look for Lower Wick Zones (green) : Indicate strong buying pressure; watch for support or liquidity sweeps below. Trade Retests : When price returns to a zone, expect a reaction (bounce or rejection) due to leftover liquidity. Combine with Context : Align wick pressure zones with HTF support/resistance, order blocks, or volume profile for stronger signals. Use Volume Labels : High-volume wicks indicate more significant liquidity events, making the zone more likely to act as a strong reaction point. 🔵 CONCLUSION The Wick Pressure Zones is a powerful way to visualize hidden liquidity and aggressive rejections. By mapping extreme wick events into dynamic, volume-annotated zones, it shows traders where the market absorbed heavy buy/sell pressure. These levels frequently act as magnets or turning points, making them valuable for timing entries, stop placement, or fade strategies.

Muzyorae - Quarterly TheoryQuarterly Theory — NY Session Macro Model The Quarterly Theory Model is a structured framework for analyzing intraday market behavior based on institutional activity and macro-level cycles. It divides the New York trading session into four sequential “quarters” (Q1–Q4), each representing distinct phases of market participation, liquidity accumulation, and directional bias. This model is designed for professional traders who aim to align their strategies with institutional flows, key liquidity zones, and market structure shifts. It accommodates both AMDX (Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution → Expansion) and XAMD (reversal sequences) fractal patterns, allowing traders to adapt to varying market conditions. Price action may expand early during Q1 in an XAMD sequence, representing an initial breakout or early liquidity sweep before the typical Q2 manipulation phase. Traders should be aware that Q1 can occasionally produce unexpected volatility or directional bias in such sequences. Session Breakdown (New York Time) Q1 – Accumulation Time: 9:30 – 10:00 AM Phase Characteristics: Early session positioning, initial liquidity sweeps, and false moves. Institutions build positions while retail participants often react to gaps and premarket activity. Note: Price may expand early in an XAMD sequence, creating a short-term directional move before Q2. Q2 – Manipulation / Expansion Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM Phase Characteristics: The main directional move develops, often characterized by breaks of structure, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps. This is a prime area for trend initiation. Q3 – Distribution / Retracement Time: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM Phase Characteristics: Price consolidates and retraces into prior accumulation zones, reflecting profit-taking or redistribution by institutions. Market chop and sideways movement are common. Q4 – Final Expansion / Repricing Time: 1:30 – 4:00 PM Phase Characteristics: The afternoon session often produces final liquidity sweeps, trend continuation, or reversals, setting the high or low of the day and completing the daily macro cycle. Key Features of the Model Fractal-Based Structure: Q1–Q4 cycles reflect institutional behavior at a macro level, scalable to other intraday or multi-day fractals. Supports AMDX & XAMD: Allows for both standard accumulation → manipulation → distribution → expansion sequences and reversal patterns depending on market behavior. Early Expansion in Q1: Recognizes that in XAMD sequences, Q1 may produce early directional moves or breakout activity. True Open Q2 Line: Highlights the opening price of Q2 as a reference for trend validation and potential entry zones. Dynamic Time Alignment: Fully synchronized with New York (ET) time zone, ensuring accurate representation of market cycles. Professional Visualization: Optional labels and vertical markers for each quarter, supporting quick visual analysis and pattern recognition. Integration with ICT Concepts: Compatible with Smart Money Techniques (SMT), Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Break of Structure (BOS) for enhanced trade planning. Purpose and Application Anticipates areas of liquidity accumulation and manipulation. Identifies optimal entry and exit zones within institutional cycles. Structures trades around probable trend initiation and continuation periods. Aligns retail activity with institutional flow for higher probability setups. Adapts to market variability through AMDX and XAMD fractal patterns. Accounts for early expansions or breakout activity during Q1 in XAMD sequences. By using the Quarterly Theory Model, traders gain a systematic, time-based framework to interpret market structure and maximize alignment with institutional participants.

Monday Open [Bellsz]Plots the NY Monday range with box, High/Low, EQ, and Monday Open, then projects those levels forward by N bars. Clean weekly framing for liquidity targets and mean reversion. Purpose Maps the full New York Monday (00:00–23:59 NY time) and projects its High, Low, EQ (midpoint), and Monday Open forward. Use it to frame the week’s liquidity map, “magnet” levels, and mean-reversion targets with one glance. What it draws Monday Box — live-updating box for the NY Monday session (fill + border). High/Low (solid lines) — locked at Monday close and optionally extended N bars. EQ / Midline (dashed) — (High + Low) ÷ 2, extended N bars. Monday Open (solid line) — projected from Monday’s first bar, extended N bars during Monday (temporary), then replaced by a fixed Monday-Open line at session end. How it works Detects NY calendar day without dayofyear and anchors to America/New_York. Starts tracking at NY Monday 00:00; updates the box/high/low in real time. When Monday ends, the script freezes the range and plots final H/L/EQ + Open, extending each by your chosen number of bars. No lookahead; levels are only finalized after Monday completes. Inputs Extend lines (bars →) — how far to project H/L/EQ/Open into the future. Monday Box Fill / Border — style the range box. High/Low Line Color / Width — style Monday H & L. EQ Line Color / Width — style midpoint. Monday Open Color / Width — style the Monday open. Why use this indicator Weekly bias framing: Monday’s range often acts as the reference box for the week’s expansion. Liquidity targeting: Equal highs/lows and EQ act as common magnet/rebalance areas. Confluence: Combine with sessions/killzones, FVGs, order blocks, or news timing. Best practices Keep chart on your normal trading TF (M5–H1 for intraday, H4–D for swing). Watch EQ taps and previous Monday H/L sweeps Tuesday–Friday. Pair the projection length with your strategy’s average holding horizon. Notes & limitations All timing is NY session-based (America/New_York). If your symbol trades Sunday evening (futures/FX), Monday begins at 00:00 NY as coded. Market holidays that shift liquidity can affect the “feel” of Monday’s range. Works on any symbol/TF supported by TradingView. No repainting after Monday close.
