WaveFunction MACD (TechnoBlooms)WaveFunction MACD — The Next Generation of Market Momentum
WaveFunction MACD is an advanced hybrid momentum indicator that merges:
• The classical MACD crossover logic (based on moving averages)
• Wave physics (modeled through phase energy and cosine functions)
• Hilbert Transform theory from signal processing
• The concept of a wavefunction from quantum mechanics, where price action is seen as a probabilistic energy wave—not just a trend.
✨ Key Features of WaveFunction MACD
• Wave Energy Logic : Instead of using just price and MA differences, this indicator computes phase-corrected momentum using the cosine of the wave phase angle — revealing the true energy behind market moves.
• Phase-Based Trend Detection : It reads cycle phases using Hilbert Transform-like logic, allowing you to spot momentum before it becomes visible in price.
• Ultra-Smooth Flow : The main line and histogram are built to follow price flow smoothly — eliminating much of the noise found in traditional MACD indicators.
• Signal Amplification via Energy Histogram : The histogram doesn’t just show momentum changes — it shows the intensity of wave energy, allowing you to confirm the strength of the trend.
• Physics-Driven Structure : The algorithm is rooted in real-world wave mechanics, bringing a scientific edge to trading — ideal for traders who believe in natural models like cycles and harmonics.
• Trend Confirmation & Early Reversals : It can confirm strong trends and also catch subtle shifts that often precede big reversals — giving you both reliability and anticipation.
• Ready for Fusion : Designed to work seamlessly with liquidity zones, price action, order blocks, and structure trading — a perfect fit for modern trading systems.
🧪 The Science Behind It
This tool blends:
• Hilbert Transform: Measures the phase of a waveform (price cycle) to detect turning points
• Cosine Phase Energy: Calculates true wave energy using the cosine of the phase angle, revealing the strength behind price movements
• Quantum Modeling: Views price like a wavefunction, offering predictive insight based on phase dynamics

OA - Price Magnet Zones Price Magnet Zones Indicator
Overview
The Price Magnet Zones indicator identifies special price levels that have a high statistical probability of being revisited by price in the future.
It works by detecting candles with specific formation characteristics - those without top or bottom wicks - which often signify important market levels that price tends to return to.
Key Features
Automated Detection: Identifies special candle formations automatically and draws horizontal lines at these levels
Dynamic Management Removes lines once price touches them or when they exceed the lookback period
Statistical Analysis: Tracks touch rates and average time until price returns to these levels
Clean Visual Interface: Shows only untouched levels for a clear chart view
How It Works
The indicator detects two specific types of candle formations:
Bullish Levels: Candles with no bottom wick (open = low) that close higher
Bearish Levels: Candles with no top wick (open = high) that close lowe
These formations often represent hidden liquidity zones or order blocks where price tends to return. The indicator draws horizontal lines at these levels and tracks whether price revisits them.
Statistics Tracking
The indicator maintains comprehensive statistics about the detected levels:
Total Levels: Number of bullish, bearish, and total levels detected
Touched Levels: Number of levels that price has returned to touch
Touch Rate: Percentage of levels that have been touched by price
Average Touch Time: Average number of bars until price touches each level type
Trading Applications
These hidden levels can be valuable for:
Identifying potential support and resistance zones
Finding entry and exit points for trades
Setting stop loss levels
Determining price targets
Confirming other technical signals
Settings
Max Bars to Track: Maximum number of bars to keep tracking a level (default: 500)
Line Thickness: Visual thickness of the horizontal lines (1-4)
Line Color: Color of the horizontal lines
Min Candles Before Check: Number of candles to wait before including touches in statistics (default: 3)
Show Statistics: Toggle statistics table display
Usage Tips
The statistics only count touches that occur after the specified minimum number of candles have passed, providing more meaningful data
Higher touch rates indicate stronger magnetic properties of these levels
The average touch time can help with timing expectations for trades
These levels work across various timeframes and markets
For best results, use alongside other technical analysis tools
This indicator does not provide trading signals but offers valuable insights into hidden market structure that can enhance your trading strategy.

cd_full_poi_CxOverview
This indicator tracks the price in 16 different time frames (optional) in order to answer the question of where the current price has reacted or will react.
It appears on the chart and in the report table when the price approaches or touches the fvg or mitigations (order block / supply-demand), the rules of which will be explained below.
In summary, it follows the fvg and mitigations in the higher timeframe than the lower timeframe.
Many traders see fvg or mitigates as an point of interest and see the high, low swept in those zones as a trading opportunity. Key levels, Session high/lows and Equal high and lows also point of interest.
If we summarise the description of the point of interest ;
1- Fair value gaps (FVG) (16 time frames)
2- Mitigation zones (16 time frames)
3- Previous week, day, H4, H1 high and low levels
4- Sessions zones (Asia, London and New York)
5- Equal high and low levels are in indicator display.
Details:
1- Fair Value Gaps : It is simply described as a price gap and consists of a series of 3 candles. The reaction of the price to the gap between the 1st and 3rd candle wicks is observed.
The indicator offers 3 options for marking. These are :
1-1- ‘Colours are unimportant’: candle colours are not considered for marking. Fvg formation is sufficient.(Classical)
1-2- ‘First candle opposite colour’ : when a price gap occurs, the first candle of a series of 3 candles must be opposite.
For bullish fvg : bearish - bullish - free
For Bearish fvg : bullish - bearish - free
1-3- ‘All same colour’ : all candles in a series of 3 candles must be the same direction.
For bullish fvg: bullish - bullish - bullish
For bearish fvg : bearish - bearish – bearish
Examples:
2- Mitigation zones: Opposite candles with a fvg in front of them or candles higher/lower than the previous and next candle and with the same colour as the fvg series are marked.
Examples :
3- Previous week, day, H4, H1 high and low levels
4- Sessions regions (Asia, London and New York)
5- Equal high and low levels:
Annotation: Many traders want to see a liquidity grab on the poi, then try to enter the trade with the appropriate method.
Among the indicators, there is also the indication of grabs/swepts that occur at swing points. It is also indicated when the area previously marked as equal high/low is violated (grab).
At the end, sample setups will be shown to give an idea about the use of the indicator.
Settings:
- The options to be displayed from the menu are selected by ticking.
- 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, h1, h4, h4, h6, h8, h12, daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly, 16 time zones in total can be displayed.
- The ‘Collapse when the price touches mitigate’ tab controls whether to collapse the box as the price moves into the inner region of the mitigate. If not selected, the size of the mitigate does not change.
- ‘Approach limit =(ATR / n)’ tab controls how close the price is to the fvg or mitigate. Instant ATR(10) value is calculated by dividing by the entered ‘n’ value.
- All boxes and lines are automatically removed from the screen when the beyond is closed.
- Colour selections, table, text features are controlled from the menu.
- Sessions hours are set as standard hours, the user can select special time zones. Timezone is set to GMT-4.
- On the candle when the price touches fvg or mitigate, the timeframe information of the POI is shown in the report table together with the graphical representation.
The benefits and differences :
1- We can evaluate the factors we use for setup together.
2- We are aware of what awaits us in the high time frame in the following candles.
3- It offers the user the opportunity to be selective with different candle selection options in fvg selection.
4- Mitige areas are actually unmitige areas because they have a price gap in front of them. The market likes to retest these areas.
5- Equal high/low zones are the levels that the price creates to accumulate liquidity or fails to go beyond (especially during high volume hours). Failure or crossing of the level may give a reversal or continuation prediction.

Math by Thomas FVG📌 Math by Thomas FVG – Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview:
The Math by Thomas FVG indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using a three-candle logic. FVGs represent price inefficiencies where the first candle’s high/low does not overlap with the third candle’s low/high, creating a gap. This tool helps traders identify potential reversal or continuation zones, providing valuable insights into market structure and price action.
🔹 How It Works:
Bullish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s low is above the high of the candle two bars ago.
A green-shaded box marks the bullish FVG, highlighting a potential support zone.
Bearish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s high is below the low of the candle two bars ago.
A red-shaded box marks the bearish FVG, indicating a potential resistance zone.
Gap Filling Logic:
The indicator automatically removes FVGs once they are filled by price action, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Bullish FVGs are removed when close ≤ the box's top.
Bearish FVGs are removed when close ≥ the box's bottom.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Bullish FVG Color: Choose the color for bullish FVGs.
Bearish FVG Color: Choose the color for bearish FVGs.
Max Box Count: The indicator dynamically manages up to 50 FVG boxes, ensuring optimal chart performance.
✅ Use Cases:
Identify price inefficiencies for potential entries and exits.
Combine with Order Blocks, support/resistance, or volume analysis for confirmation.
Useful for Smart Money Concept (SMC) and price action traders.

Perfect for traders who use ICT, Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and Market Structure-based strategies.
Nef33 Forex & Crypto Trading Signals PRO
1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)
ICT SMT (fadi)The ICT SMT (fadi) Indicator is a powerful indicator inspired by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, designed to identify Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between correlated assets. This indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points or trend shifts by comparing price action of a user-defined symbol (e.g., “ES1!” for E-mini S&P 500 futures) against the current chart’s price structure. Ideal for forex, indices, futures, and crypto markets, it highlights discrepancies in correlated asset behavior to enhance trading decisions.
These discrepancies occur when one asset shows signs of strength—such as holding support or rallying—while the other weakens or drops, signaling potential manipulation or a shift in smart money activity. This is relevant because it reveals where institutional traders may be accumulating or distributing positions, giving insight into impending trend changes. This indicator offers higher accuracy and detects nearly every SMT present on the chart by calculating multiple possibilities.
Features
• Smart Algorithmic detection of high probability SMTs
• Detect SMT with two other symbols
• Detect 2-Candle SMT as an additional configurable option
• Confirmation and Invalidation levels
• Expand or narrow the detection range by changing the number of pivots to use
• Raise alerts when SMT has been detected
Usage
1. Apply the indicator to your chart.
2. In the settings, input a correlated symbol (e.g., “NQ1!” for Nasdaq futures if charting “ES1!”, or “EURUSD” if analyzing “GBPUSD”).
3. Monitor the plotted markers and labels:
• Green markers for bullish divergences.
• Red markers for bearish divergences.
4. Combine with other ICT concepts (e.g., order blocks, liquidity zones) for higher-probability setups.
Best Practices
• Pair with strongly correlated assets (e.g., ES vs. NQ, EURUSD vs. GBPUSD) for reliable signals.
• Backtest on your chosen market to confirm effectiveness.
DTFX Algo Zones [SamuraiJack Mod]CME_MINI:NQ1!
Credits
This indicator is a modified version of an open-source tool originally developed by Lux Algo. I literally modded their indicator to create the DTFX Algo Zones version, incorporating additional features and refinements. Special thanks to Lux Algo for their original work and for providing the open-source code that made this development possible.
Introduction
DTFX Algo Zones is a technical analysis indicator designed to automatically identify key supply and demand zones on your chart using market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It helps traders spot high-probability reversal areas and important support/resistance levels at a glance. By detecting shifts in market structure (such as Break of Structure and Change of Character) and highlighting bullish or bearish zones dynamically, this tool provides an intuitive framework for planning trades. The goal is to save traders time and improve decision-making by focusing attention on the most critical price zones where market bias may confirm or reverse.
Logic & Features
• Market Structure Shift Detection (BOS & CHoCH): The indicator continuously monitors price swings and marks significant structure shifts. A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price breaks above a previous swing high or below a swing low, indicating a continuation of the current trend. A Change of Character (ChoCH) is detected when price breaks in the opposite direction of the prior trend, often signaling an early trend reversal. These moments are visually marked on the chart, serving as anchor points for new zones. By identifying BOS and ChoCH in real-time, the DTFX Algo Zones indicator ensures you’re aware of key trend changes as they happen.
• Auto-Drawn Fibonacci Supply/Demand Zones: Upon a valid structure shift, the indicator plots a Fibonacci-based zone between the breakout point and the preceding swing high/low (the source of the move). This creates a shaded area or band of Fibonacci retracement levels (for example 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, etc.) representing a potential support zone in an uptrend or resistance zone in a downtrend. These supply/demand zones are derived from the natural retracement of the breakout move, highlighting where price is likely to pull back. Each zone is essentially an auto-generated Fibonacci retracement region tied to a market structure event, which traders can use to anticipate where the next pullback or bounce might occur.
• Dynamic Bullish and Bearish Zones: The DTFX Algo Zones indicator distinguishes bullish vs. bearish zones and updates them dynamically as new price action unfolds. Bullish zones (formed after bullish BOS/ChoCH) are typically highlighted in one color (e.g. green or blue) to indicate areas of demand/support where price may bounce upward. Bearish zones (formed after bearish BOS/ChoCH) are shown in another color (e.g. red/orange) to mark supply/resistance where price may stall or reverse downward. This color-coding and real-time updating allow traders to instantly recognize the market bias: for instance, a series of bullish zones implies an uptrend with multiple support levels on pullbacks, while consecutive bearish zones indicate a downtrend with resistance overhead. As old zones get invalidated or new ones appear, the chart remains current with the latest key levels, eliminating clutter from outdated levels.
• Flexible Customization: The indicator comes with several options to tailor the zones to your trading style. You can filter which zones to display – for example, show only the most recent N zones or limit to only bullish or only bearish zones – helping declutter the chart and focus on recent, relevant levels. There are settings to control zone extension (how far into the future the zones are drawn) and to automatically invalidate zones once they’re no longer relevant (for instance, if price fully breaks through a zone or a new structure shift occurs that supersedes it). Additionally, the Fibonacci retracement levels within each zone are customizable: you can choose which retracement percentages to plot, adjust their colors or line styles, and decide whether to fill the zone area for visibility. This flexibility ensures the DTFX Algo Zones can be tuned for different markets and strategies, whether you want a clean minimalist look or detailed zones with multiple internal levels.
Best Use Cases
DTFX Algo Zones is a versatile indicator that can enhance various trading strategies. Some of its best use cases include:
• Identifying High-Probability Reversal Zones: Each zone marks an area where price has a higher likelihood of stalling or reversing because it reflects a significant prior swing and Fibonacci retracement. Traders can watch these zones for entry opportunities when the market approaches them, as they often coincide with order block or strong supply/demand areas. This is especially useful for catching trend reversals or pullbacks at points where risk is lower and potential reward is higher.
• Spotting Key Support and Resistance: The automatically drawn zones act as dynamic support (below price) and resistance (above price) levels. Instead of manually drawing Fibonacci retracements or support/resistance lines, you get an instant map of the key levels derived from recent price action. This helps in quickly identifying where the next bounce (support) or rejection (resistance) might occur. Swing traders and intraday traders alike can use these zones to set alerts or anticipate reaction areas as the market moves.
• Trend-Following Entries: In a trending market, the indicator’s zones provide ideal areas to join the trend on pullbacks. For example, in an uptrend, when a new bullish zone is drawn after a BOS, it indicates a fresh demand zone – buying near the lower end of that zone on a pullback can offer a low-risk entry to ride the next leg up. Similarly, in a downtrend, selling rallies into the highlighted supply zones can position you in the direction of the prevailing trend. The zones effectively serve as a roadmap of the trend’s structure, allowing trend traders to buy dips and sell rallies with greater confidence.
• Mean-Reversion and Range Trading: Even in choppy or range-bound markets, DTFX Algo Zones can help find mean-reversion trades. If price is oscillating sideways, the zones at extremes of the range might mark where momentum is shifting (ChoCH) and price could swing back toward the mean. A trader might fade an extended move when it reaches a strong zone, anticipating a reversion. Additionally, if multiple zones cluster in an area across time (creating a zone overlap), it often signifies a particularly robust support/resistance level ideal for range trading strategies.
In all these use cases, the indicator’s ability to filter out noise and highlight structurally important levels means traders can focus on higher-probability setups and make more informed trading decisions.
Strategy – Pullback Trading with DTFX Algo Zones
One of the most effective ways to use the DTFX Algo Zones indicator is trading pullbacks in the direction of the trend. Below is a step-by-step strategy to capitalize on pullbacks using the zones, combining the indicator’s signals with sound price action analysis and risk management:
1. Identify a Market Structure Shift and Trend Bias: First, observe the chart for a recent BOS or ChoCH signal from the indicator. This will tell you the current trend bias. For instance, a bullish BOS/ChoCH means the market momentum has shifted upward (bullish bias), and a new demand zone will be drawn. A bearish structure break indicates downward momentum and creates a supply zone. Make sure the broader context supports the bias (e.g., if multiple higher timeframe zones are bullish, focus on long trades).
2. Wait for the Pullback into the Zone: Once a new zone appears, don’t chase the price immediately. Instead, wait for price to retrace back into that highlighted zone. Patience is key – let the market come to you. For a bullish setup, allow price to dip into the Fibonacci retracement zone (demand area); for a bearish setup, watch for a rally into the supply zone. Often, the middle of the zone (around the 50% retracement level) can be an optimal area where price might slow down and pivot, but it’s wise to observe price behavior across the entire zone.
3. Confirm the Entry with Price Action & Confluence: As price tests the zone, look for confirmation signals before entering the trade. This can include bullish reversal candlestick patterns (for longs) or bearish patterns (for shorts) such as engulfing candles, hammers/shooting stars, or doji indicating indecision turning to reversal. Additionally, incorporate confluence factors to strengthen the setup: for example, check if the zone overlaps with a key moving average, a round number price level, or an old support/resistance line from a higher timeframe. You might also use an oscillator (like RSI or Stochastic) to see if the pullback has reached oversold conditions in a bullish zone (or overbought in a bearish zone), suggesting a bounce is likely. The more factors aligning at the zone, the more confidence you can have in the trade. Only proceed with an entry once you see clear evidence of buyers defending a demand zone or sellers defending a supply zone.
4. Enter the Trade and Manage Risk: When you’re satisfied with the confirmation (e.g., price starts to react positively off a demand zone or shows rejection wicks in a supply zone), execute your entry in the direction of the original trend. Immediately set a stop-loss order to control risk: for a long trade, a common placement is just below the demand zone (a few ticks/pips under the swing low that formed the zone); for a short trade, place the stop just above the supply zone’s high. This way, if the zone fails and price continues beyond it, your loss is limited. Position size the trade so that this stop-loss distance corresponds to a risk you are comfortable with (for example, 1-2% of your trading capital).
5. Take Profit Strategically: Plan your take-profit targets in advance. A conservative approach is to target the origin of the move – for instance, in a long trade, you might take profit as price moves back up to the swing high (the 0% Fibonacci level of the zone) or the next significant zone or resistance level above. This often yields at least a 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio if you entered around mid-zone. More aggressive trend-following traders may leave a portion of the position running beyond the initial target, aiming for a larger move in line with the trend (for example, new higher highs in an uptrend). You can also trail your stop-loss upward behind new higher lows (for longs) or lower highs (for shorts) as the trend progresses, locking in profit while allowing for further gains.
6. Monitor Zone Invalidation: Even after entering, keep an eye on the behavior around the zone and any new zones that may form. If price fails to bounce and instead breaks decisively through the entire zone, respect that as an invalidation – the market may be signaling a deeper reversal or that the signal was false. In such a case, it’s better to exit early or stick to your stop-loss than to hold onto a losing position. The indicator will often mark or no longer highlight zones that have been invalidated by price, guiding you to shift focus to the next opportunity.
Risk Management Tips:
• Always use a stop-loss and don’t move it farther out in hope. Placing the stop just beyond the zone’s far end (the swing point) helps protect you if the pullback turns into a larger reversal.
• Aim for a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. With pullback entries near the middle or far end of a zone, you can often achieve a reward that equals or exceeds your risk. For example, risking 20 pips to make 20+ pips (1:1 or better) is a prudent starting point. Adjust targets based on market structure – if the next resistance is 50 pips away, consider that upside against your risk.
• Use confluence and context: Don’t take every zone signal in isolation. The highest probability trades come when the DTFX Algo Zone aligns with other analysis (trend direction, chart patterns, higher timeframe support/resistance, etc.). This filtered approach will reduce trades taken in weak zones or counter-trend traps.
• Embrace patience and selectivity: Not all zones are equal. It can be wise to skip very narrow or insignificant zones and wait for those that form after a strong BOS/ChoCH (indicating a powerful move). Larger zones or zones formed during high-volume times tend to produce more reliable pullback opportunities.
• Review and adapt: After each trade, note how price behaved around the zone. If you notice certain Fib levels (like 50% or 61.8%) within the zone consistently provide the best entries, you can refine your approach to focus on those. Similarly, adjust the indicator’s settings if needed – for example, if too many minor zones are cluttering your screen, limit to the last few or increase the structure length parameter to capture only more significant swings.

HTF POI [TakingProphets]HTF POI – Higher Timeframe Points of Interest Detection
The HTF POI Indicator by Taking Prophets is designed for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and smart money principles. This tool automatically detects higher timeframe (HTF) points of interest (POIs) such as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs), and Consequent Encroachment (CE) levels, helping traders spot high-probability trading zones used by institutions.
🔹 Key Features:
✅ Automatic Detection of FVGs & IFVGs – Identifies key price inefficiencies across multiple timeframes.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Analysis – Detect POIs on the current timeframe and up to five higher timeframes (HTF1 to HTF5).
✅ Customizable Sensitivity – Adjust detection settings to High, Medium, or Low based on price gap size.
✅ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Encroachment Lines – Optional midpoint levels to track potential price rebalancing.
✅ Volume Display Option – View volume within detected FVGs for additional confluence.
✅ Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) – Tracks invalidated gaps that turn into new liquidity pools.
✅ Works Across All Markets – Ideal for Forex, Futures, Stocks, and Crypto.
🔹 How It Works:
📌 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – Price inefficiencies caused by fast institutional moves that often get revisited.
📌 Bullish FVGs (BISI) – Formed when price gaps up, creating a demand zone where price may return.
📌 Bearish FVGs (SIBI) – Formed when price gaps down, acting as a supply zone for potential reversals.
📌 Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) – Previously unfilled FVGs that get mitigated and act as liquidity pools.
📌 Consequent Encroachment (CE) – The 50% midpoint of an FVG, where price often reacts.
📌 Multi-Timeframe Integration – Tracks higher timeframe gaps for confluence with lower timeframe setups.
🔹 How to Use:
Identify FVG zones for potential entries or exits in alignment with smart money concepts.
Use Consequent Encroachment (CE) levels to confirm reactions at the 50% level of an FVG.
Watch for IFVGs as they provide new liquidity pools after FVGs are invalidated.
Combine with CHoCH/BOS market structure shifts and Order Blocks for higher-probability trades.

HTF Market Structure [TakingProphets]HTF Market Structure
The Market Structure CHoCH/BOS (Fractal) Indicator is designed for traders using smart money concepts and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology to track market structure shifts in real time. It automatically detects Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) events based on fractal highs and lows, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuations with greater precision.
🔹 Key Features:
✅ Automatic CHoCH & BOS Detection – No need for manual plotting; the indicator highlights key structure shifts.
✅ Custom Lookback Period – Adjustable fractal settings to fine-tune market structure sensitivity.
✅ Multi-Timeframe Market Structure Table – Displays the most recent CHoCH state on multiple timeframes (Weekly, Daily, 4H, 1H, 15m, 5m).
✅ Candle Coloring – Optional feature to change candle colors after a CHoCH for better visual clarity.
✅ Works Across All Markets – Use it for Forex, Stocks, Crypto, and Futures.
🔹 How It Works:
📌 Break of Structure (BOS) – Indicates a continuation of the existing trend when price breaks a previous swing high or low.
📌 Change of Character (CHoCH) – Suggests a potential trend reversal when price structure shifts direction.
📌 Multi-Timeframe Confirmation – The built-in table tracks the latest CHoCH across different timeframes to help confirm bias.
🔹 How to Use:
Look for CHoCH signals at key liquidity zones (order blocks, fair value gaps).
Use BOS confirmations to follow trend continuations.
Combine with other smart money concepts like imbalance fills and liquidity grabs for stronger trade setups.
🚀 Enhance your market structure analysis with the CHoCH/BOS Indicator
Automatic Fibonacci retracement based on the highest high and loThe chart is fractal, meaning that what happens can always be broken down into smaller portions.
This is often seen in various AR (Algorithmic Rules) concepts, such as breakers, order blocks, etc., where the price reacts.
I’ve visualized this behavior with this indicator.
This indicator takes the highest high and the lowest low from the past 5 weeks, excluding the current week.
The lowest low will represent 0%, and the highest high will represent 100% (green lines).
It then divides this range into 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% levels (red and blue lines).
The indicator works on all charts and all timeframes, automatically adjusting when you switch charts or timeframes. No manual input is required.
Additionally, above 100%, it will create levels at 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200%, while below 0%, it will create levels at -25%, -50%, -75%, and -100%.
Your chart will now be divided into these 25% levels, allowing you to observe how the price either respects or breaks through them.
Again, this isn’t something “groundbreaking,” but simply a visual aid to identify levels where the price finds support/resistance or breaks through.
It helps me gain a broader perspective and determine whether my trade is moving in the right direction or if I should remain cautious.
[Daily] CRT with OHLC Reference Here’s a breakdown of Daily CRT:
1. What is Daily CRT?
Daily CRT focuses on the price action of daily candles, treating them as ranges that can be broken or manipulated.
The theory suggests that certain candles on the daily chart form ranges that act as key levels for price expansion or reversal.
These ranges are not just simple support and resistance levels but are tied to the concept of liquidity draws, where price is likely to move towards areas where liquidity is concentrated (e.g., highs, lows, or key levels).
2. Key Components of Daily CRT
Ranging Candle: The first candle in the CRT setup establishes the range. This candle’s high and low become the key levels to watch.
Manipulation Candle: The second candle often manipulates the range by either breaking it or testing it. This is where turtle soup (false breakouts) can occur.
Distribution Candle: The third candle is where the price either confirms the breakout or reverses, leading to a potential expansion in the opposite direction.
3. How to Use Daily CRT
Identify the Range: On the daily chart, identify a candle that forms a clear range (high and low). This is your Ranging Candle.
Watch for Manipulation: The next candle (Manipulation Candle) will often test or break the range. If it breaks the range but then reverses back inside, it’s a turtle soup (false breakout), indicating a potential reversal.
Trade the Distribution: The third candle (Distribution Candle) is where you look for confirmation. If the price breaks the range and continues in the same direction, it’s a true breakout. If it reverses, it’s a false breakout, and you can trade the reversal.
4. Daily CRT and Key Levels
Daily CRT works best when combined with higher timeframe key levels (e.g., weekly or monthly highs/lows, order blocks, fair value gaps, etc.).
The daily candle ranges often align with these key levels, providing confluence for potential reversals or expansions.
5. Time Alignment in Daily CRT
Time is a critical factor in CRT. The PDF emphasizes that the highest probability CRT setups occur at specific times of the day or week.
For example, the purge (breakout or reversal) of a daily CRT often happens during key trading sessions (e.g., London open, New York open).
6. Practical Steps for Daily CRT
Determine the Draw on Liquidity: Use higher timeframe analysis (weekly or monthly) to identify where price is likely to move (e.g., towards a key level or liquidity pool).
Identify the Daily Range: On the daily chart, mark the high and low of the ranging candle.
Watch for Manipulation: Observe the next candle to see if it breaks the range or tests it. Look for signs of turtle soup (false breakouts).
Trade the Distribution: Once the third candle confirms the direction (either breakout or reversal), enter the trade with proper risk management.
7. Example of Daily CRT
Ranging Candle: On Monday, a daily candle forms a range between 1.1000 (low) and 1.1100 (high).
Manipulation Candle: On Tuesday, the price breaks below 1.1000 but then reverses back above it, forming a turtle soup (false breakout).
Distribution Candle: On Wednesday, the price confirms the reversal by breaking above 1.1100, signaling a potential bullish expansion.
8. Integration with Other Concepts
Daily CRT should not be used in isolation. It works best when combined with other ICT concepts like:
Market Profiles: Understanding whether the market is in a ranging, expansion, or reversal phase.
Orderflow: Identifying bullish or bearish orderflow to confirm the direction of the CRT.
Key Levels: Using higher timeframe key levels to add confluence to the CRT setup.
Time: Aligning the CRT with key times (e.g., London open, New York open) for higher probability setups.
9. Risk Management in Daily CRT
Always use proper risk management when trading CRT setups. The PDF suggests risking no more than 0.5% of your account per trade.
Use stop-losses and position sizing to protect your capital, especially since CRT setups can involve false breakouts (turtle soups).
10. Summary
Daily CRT is a powerful tool for identifying key levels and potential price expansions or reversals on the daily chart.
It involves analyzing three key candles: the Ranging Candle, the Manipulation Candle, and the Distribution Candle.
The theory is most effective when combined with higher timeframe key levels, market profiles, orderflow, and proper time alignment.
By mastering Daily CRT, you can improve your ability to predict market movements and frame high-probability trades.
Wick Volume AlertThis indicator is intended to find a possible price reversal and is well suited for scalping in the smaller timeframes from 1 to 15min chart. It is important to use it in conjunction with other indicators such as order blocks or price levels.
The advantage over other Wick indicators is that volume is also taken into account.
Unfortunately, the markers on the chart do not work properly as they do not attach themselves when moving vertically. I would be happy if someone could fix the problem, as I am not a professional in Pine scripting.
Directional Volume IndexDirectional Volume Index (DVI) (buying/selling pressure)
This index is adapted from the Directional Movement Index (DMI), but based on volume instead of price movements. The idea is to detect building directional volume indicating a growing amount of orders that will eventually cause the price to follow. (DVI is not displayed by default)
The rough algorithm for the Positive Directional Volume Index (green bar):
calculate the delta to the previous green bar's volume
if the delta is positive (growing buying pressure) add it to an SMA, else add 0 (also for red bars)
divide these average deltas by the average volume
the result is the Positive Directional Volume Index (DVI+) (vice versa for DVI-)
Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) (relative pressure)
Creating the difference of both Directional Volume Indexes (DVI+ - DVI-) creates the Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) with rising values indicating a growing buying pressure, falling values a growing selling pressure. (DDVI is displayed by default, smoothed by a custom moving average)
Average Directional Volume Index (ADVX) (pressure strength)
Putting the relative pressure (DDVI) in relation to the total pressure (DVI+ + DVI-) we can determine the strength and duration of the currently building volume change / trend. For the DMI/ADX usually 20 is an indicator for a strong trend, values above 50 suggesting exhaustion and approaching reversals. (ADVX is not displayed by default, smoothed by a custom moving average)
Divergences of the Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) (imbalances)
By detecting divergences we can detect situations where e.g. bullish volume starts to build while price is in a downtrend, suggesting that there is growing buying pressure indicating an imminent bullish pullback/order block or reversal. (strong and hidden divergences are displayed by default)
Divergences Overview:
strong bull: higher lows on volume, lower lows on price
medium bull: higher lows on volume, equal lows on price
weak bull: equal lows on volume, lower lows on price
hidden bull: lower lows on volume, higher lows on price
strong bear: lower highs on volume, higher highs on price
medium bear: lower highs on volume, equal highs on price
weak bear: equal highs on volume, higher highs on price
hidden bear: higher highs on volume, lower highs on price
DDVI Bands (dynamic overbought/oversold levels)
Using Bollinger Bands with DDVI as source we receive an averaged relative pressure with stdev band offsets. This can be used as dynamic overbought/oversold levels indicating reversals on sharp crossovers.
Alerts
As of now there are no alerts built in, but all internal data is exposed via plot and plotshape functions, so it can be used for custom crossover conditions in the alert dialog. This is still a personal research project, so if you find good setups, please let me know.
Aligned Highs and Lows (0.25% Error, 3+ Required)This indicator shows when three or more bars in a row have the same end as the previous start within a 0.25% range. This helps identify when there is a possible accumulation or an attempt to break a support or resistance level from an order block.

Immediate Rebalance ICT [TradingFinder] No Imbalances - MTF Gaps🔵 Introduction
The concept of "Immediate Rebalance" in technical analysis is a powerful and advanced strategy within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) framework, widely used to identify key market levels.
Unlike the "Fair Value Gap," which leaves a price gap requiring a retracement for a fill, an Immediate Rebalance fills the gap immediately, representing an instant balance that strengthens the prevailing market trend. This structure allows traders to quickly spot critical price zones, capitalizing on strong trend continuations without the need for price retracement.
The "Immediate Rebalance ICT" indicator leverages this concept, providing traders with automated identification of critical supply and demand zones, order blocks, liquidity voids, and key buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels.
Through features like crucial liquidity points and immediate rebalancing areas, this tool enables traders to perform precise real-time market analysis and seize profitable opportunities.
🔵 How to Use
The Immediate Rebalance indicator assists traders in identifying reliable trading signals by detecting and analyzing Immediate Rebalance zones. By focusing on supply and demand areas, the indicator pinpoints optimal entry and exit positions.
Here’s how to use the indicator in both bearish (Supply Immediate Rebalance) and bullish (Demand Immediate Rebalance) structures :
🟣 Bullish Structure (Demand Immediate Rebalance)
In a bullish scenario, the indicator detects a Demand Immediate Rebalance formed by two consecutive bullish candles with overlapping wicks. This structure signifies an immediate demand zone, where price instantly balances within the zone, reducing the likelihood of a revisit and indicating potential upside momentum.
Zone Identification : Look for two consecutive bullish candles with overlapping wicks, forming a demand zone. This structure, due to its rapid balance, usually does not require a revisit and supports further upward movement.
Entry and Exit Levels : If price revisits this zone, percentage markers, particularly 50% and 75%, act as supportive levels, creating ideal entry points for long positions.
Example : In the second image, an example of a Demand Immediate Rebalance is shown, where overlapping bullish candle shadows indicate immediate balance, supporting the continuation of the bullish trend.
🟣 Bearish Structure (Supply Immediate Rebalance)
In a bearish setup, the indicator identifies a Supply Immediate Rebalance when two consecutive bearish candles with overlapping wicks appear. This formation signals an immediate supply zone, suggesting a high probability of trend continuation to the downside, with minimal expectation for price to retrace back to this area.
Zone Identificatio n: Look for two consecutive bearish candles with overlapping shadows. This structure forms a supply area where price is expected to continue its downtrend without revisiting the zone.
Entry and Exit Level s: Should price revisit this zone, percentage-based levels (e.g., 50% and 75%) serve as potential resistance points, optimizing entry for short positions, especially if the downtrend is expected to persist.
Example : The attached chart illustrates a Supply Immediate Rebalance, where overlapping candle shadows define this area, reassuring traders of a continued downward trend with a low likelihood of price returning to this zone.
🔵 Settings
ImmR Filter : This filter allows users to adjust the detection of Immediate Rebalance zones in four modes, from "Very Aggressive" to "Very Defensive," based on zone width. The chosen mode controls the sensitivity of Immediate Rebalance detection, allowing users to fine-tune the indicator to their trading style.
Multi Time Frame : Enabling this option allows users to set the indicator to a specific timeframe (1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, weekly, or monthly), broadening the perspective for identifying Immediate Rebalance zones across multiple timeframes.
🔵 Conclusion
The Immediate Rebalance indicator, based on rapid balancing zones within supply and demand areas, serves as a powerful tool for market analysis and improving trade decision-making.
By accurately identifying zones where price achieves instant balance without gaps, the indicator highlights areas likely to support strong trend continuations, exempt from common retracements.
The indicator’s use of percentage levels enables traders to pinpoint optimal entry and exit points more effectively, with levels like 50% and 75% acting as support within demand zones and resistance within supply zones. This empowers traders to ride strong trends without the worry of abrupt reversals.
Overall, the Immediate Rebalance is a reliable tool for both professional and beginner traders seeking precise methods to recognize supply and demand zones, capitalizing on consistent trends.
By choosing appropriate settings and focusing on the zones highlighted by this indicator, traders can enter trades with greater confidence and improve their risk management.
Decision Point Support and ResistanceIntroduction:
The Decision Point Support and Resistance Indicator plots unique time and price based support and resistance lines. Depending on the current time frame (1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day etc.), this indicator references preset higher time frames which I will refer to as parent time frames henceforth.
On each time frame, based on price action within its corresponding parent time frame, support and resistance lines are plotted on the chart at the start of the next parent time frame and extended for 360 candlesticks into the future.
This allows a manageable number of support and resistance lines to be live on the chart at any given time so that it does not become visually overwhelming. It also provides a time window in which each support and resistance line is active to be considered for use in analysis.
Description:
With all of the basic information about what this indicator does, lets delve deeper into the logic behind the lines.
This picture is a screenshot of the 1 minute chart of the S&P 500 emini futures. The default parent time frame for the 1 minute chart on all asset classes is 1 hour. This means that as long as the price action criteria that I will describe in a moment is met, then there will be a support and resistance line plotted at the beginning of each hour while on the 1 minute chart.
The rest of the parent time frame defaults for each current time frames is as follows:
Current Time Frame ------------- Default Parent Time Frame
5 Second --------------------------- 5 Minutes
15 Second ------------------------- 15 Minutes
30 Second ------------------------- 30 Minutes
1 Minute --------------------------- 1 Hour
5 Minute --------------------------- 4 Hours
15 Minute -------------------------- 12 Hours
30 Minute -------------------------- 1 Day
1 Hour ------------------------------ 3 Days
4 Hour ------------------------------ 2 Weeks
1 Day ------------------------------- 3 Months
1 Week ----------------------------- 12 Months
1 Month ---------------------------- 12 Months
Lets continue using the 1 Minute Chart as an example.
The price that each of the support and resistance lines are plotted at (with certain proprietary selection criteria withheld) is determined as follows:
- For Bullish Parent Time Frame Closes (e.g. while on 1 Minute Chart, 1 Hour closes Bullish), the script picks a price point within the parent time frame that is identified by my proprietary selection criteria as being the price point in which the market first "decided" to be bullish for the duration of the parent time frame. At the start of the next parent time frame, a line is plotted at the identified price point and extended for 360 candles into the future. If no price point meets the criteria, no line is plotted.
- For Bearish Parent Time Frame Closes (e.g. while on 1 Minute Chart, 1 Hour closes Bearish), the script picks a price point within the parent time frame that is identified by my proprietary selection criteria as being the price point in which the market first "decided" to be bearish for the duration of the parent time frame. At the start of the next parent time frame, a line is plotted at the identified price point and extended for 360 candles into the future. If no price point meets the criteria, no line is plotted.
This is the reason that this indicator is called the Decision Point Support and Resistance Indicator. It marks the point in which each parent time frame "decided" to be bullish or bearish and plots that point out into the future.
As the market has historically revisited these levels, they have served as highly effective support and resistance levels.
Features:
1. Adjust how far right the support and resistance lines extend
2. Change the color of support and resistance lines
- The lines that are generated from bullish or bearish parent time frames can be individually changed to different colors. This does not mean one should act as support and the other should act as resistance. I have yet to find a meaningful pattern between the bullish and bearish lines so I tend to keep them the same color, but feel free to try!
3. Change line style
4. Manually change default parent time frame to parent time frame of your choosing
- Toggle on "Use Manual Timeframe" to pick a new parent timeframe. This will increase or decrease the frequency of the lines. I felt that the defaults struck a good balance of useful information without becoming overwhelming. That said, please feel free to make that decision yourself by choosing the parent time frame that best suits you!
5. Change Lookback Period
- The default Lookback Period is 3000 candles. You can increase or decrease this for back testing or analysis purposes.
- At the start of a new parent timeframe, the indicator can get stuck while trying to load in new lines. When this happens it is helpful to change the lookback period by 1 (e.g. from 3000 to 3001) to prompt the indicator to load in the most recent support and resistance lines.
How to effectively use the Decision Point Support and Resistance Indicator:
This indicator can be used as stand alone support and resistance for analyzing entry and exit points. Its useful for narrowing down higher time frame zones such as order blocks, fair value gaps, or supply and demand zones from wide price ranges to single price points.
- The lines on the 5 second, 15 second, 30 second, and 1 minute charts are useful for scalping and day trading. Lines that appear on higher time frames are often effective exit points.
- The lines on the 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, and 1 hour charts are useful for intermediate term trading or swing trading. Lines that appear on higher time frames are often effective exit points.
- The lines on the 4 hour, 1 Day, and 1 Week charts are useful for long term trading and investing or dollar cost averaging.
Limitations:
As this indicator plots price points from previous price ranges, it is most effective at catching retracements for continuation trades on your current time frame. It works best for internal range conditions and is less effective in external range conditions such as all time highs and lows.
In these external range conditions it can be helpful to change to a higher time frame for further analysis.
The Decision Point Support and Resistance Indicator is meant to be used to augment your current trading strategy. It is best used as confirmation of your analysis and to help narrow down entry and exit targets within your current strategy.
Conclusion:
The Decision Point Support and Resistance Indicator is the culmination of the close to 10 years of my trading career. I have spent years studying price action and thousands of hours creating, iterating, and refining the concepts underpinning this indicator. Every aspect of this indicator is based on my own entirely original concepts that I created to aid in my own trading. It is an honor to be able to share fruits of my labor with the trading community at large.

FVG & IFVG ICT [TradingFinder] Inversion Fair Value Gap Signal🔵 Introduction
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To spot a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on a chart, you need to perform a detailed candle-by-candle analysis.
Here’s the process :
Focus on Candles with Large Bodies : Identify a candle with a substantial body and examine it alongside the preceding candle.
Check Surrounding Candles : The candles immediately before and after the central candle should have long shadows.
Ensure No Overlap : The bodies of the candles before and after the central candle should not overlap with the body of the central candle.
Determine the FVG Range : The gap between the shadows of the first and third candles forms the FVG range.
🟣 ICT Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
An ICT Inversion Fair Value Gap, also known as a reverse FVG, is a failed fair value gap where the price does not respect the gap. An IFVG forms when a fair value gap fails to hold the price and the price moves beyond it, breaking the fair value gap.
This marks the initial shift in price momentum. Typically, when the price moves in one direction, it respects the fair value gaps and continues its trend.
However, if a fair value gap is violated, it acts as an inversion fair value gap, indicating the first change in price momentum, potentially leading to a short-term reversal or a subsequent change in direction.
🟣 Bullish Inversion Fair Value Gap (Bullish IFVG)
🟣 Bearish Inversion Fair Value Gap (Bearish IFVG)
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identify an Inversion Fair Value Gap
To identify an IFVG, you first need to recognize a fair value gap. Just as fair value gaps come in two types, inversion fair value gaps also fall into two categories:
🟣 Bullish Inversion Fair Value Gap
A bullish IFVG is essentially a bearish fair value gap that is invalidated by the price closing above it.
Here’s how to identify it :
Identify a bearish fair value gap.
When the price closes above this bearish fair value gap, it transforms into a bullish inversion fair value gap.
This gap acts as support for the price and drives it upwards, indicating a reduction in sellers' strength and an initial shift in momentum towards buyers.
🟣 Bearish Inversion Fair Value Gap
A bearish IFVG is primarily a bullish fair value gap that fails to hold the price, with the price closing below it.
Here’s how to identify it :
Identify a bullish fair value gap.
When the price closes below this gap, it becomes a bearish inversion fair value gap.
This gap acts as resistance for the price, pushing it downwards. A bearish inversion fair value gap signifies a decrease in buyers' momentum and an increase in sellers' strength.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Global Setting
Show All FVG : If it is turned off, only the last FVG will be displayed.
S how All Inversion FVG : If it is turned off, only the last FVG will be displayed.
FVG and IFVG Validity Period (Bar) : You can specify the maximum time the FVG and the IFVG remains valid based on the number of candles from the origin.
Switching Colors Theme Mode : Three modes "Off", "Light" and "Dark" are included in this parameter. "Light" mode is for color adjustment for use in "Light Mode".
"Dark" mode is for color adjustment for use in "Dark Mode" and "Off" mode turns off the color adjustment function and the input color to the function is the same as the output color.
🟣 Logic Setting
FVG Filter
When utilizing FVG filtering, the number of identified FVG areas undergoes refinement based on a specified algorithm. This process helps to focus on higher quality signals and eliminate noise.
Here are the types of FVG filters available :
Very Aggressive Filter : Introduces an additional condition to the initial criteria. For an upward FVG, the highest price of the last candle must exceed the highest price of the middle candle. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the lowest price of the last candle should be lower than the lowest price of the middle candle. This mode minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter : Builds upon the Very Aggressive mode by considering the size of the middle candle. It ensures the middle candle is not too small, thereby eliminating more FVGs compared to the Very Aggressive mode.
Defensive Filter : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, the Defensive mode incorporates criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle. It requires the middle candle to have a substantial body, with specific polarity conditions for the second and third candles relative to the first candle's direction. This mode filters out a significant number of FVGs, focusing on higher-quality signals.
Very Defensive Filter : Further refines filtering by adding conditions that the first and third candles should not be small-bodied doji candles. This stringent mode eliminates the majority of FVGs, retaining only the highest quality signals.
Mitigation Level FVG and IFVG : Its inputs are one of "Proximal", "Distal" or "50 % OB" modes, which you can enter according to your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the middle line between distal and proximal.
🟣 Display Setting
Show Bullish FVG : Enables the display of demand-related boxes, which can be toggled on or off.
Show Bearish FVG : Enables the display of supply-related boxes along the path, which can also be toggled on or off.
Show Bullish IFVG : Enables the display of demand-related boxes, which can be toggled on or off.
Show Bearish IFVG : Enables the display of supply-related boxes along the path, which can also be toggled on or off.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert FVG Mitigation : If you want to receive the alert about FVG's mitigation after setting the alerts, leave this tick on. Otherwise, turn it off.
Alert Inversion FVG Mitigation : If you want to receive the alert about Inversion FVG's mitigation after setting the alerts, leave this tick on. Otherwise, turn it off.

KillZones Hunt + Sessions [TradingFinder] Alert & Volume Ranges🟣 Introduction
🔵 Session
Financial markets are divided into various time segments, each with its own characteristics and activity levels. These segments are called sessions, and they are active at different times of the day.
The most important active sessions in financial markets are :
1. Asian Session
2. European Session
3. New York Session
The timing of these major sessions based on the UTC time zone is as follows :
1. Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
2. European Session: 07:00 to 16:30
3. New York Session: 13:00 to 22:00
Note
To avoid overlap between sessions and interference in kill zones, we have adjusted the session timings as follows :
• Asian Session: 23:00 to 06:00
• European Session: 07:00 to 14:25
• New York Session: 14:30 to 22:55
🔵 Kill Zones
Kill zones are parts of a session where trader activity is higher than usual. During these periods, trading volume increases and price fluctuations are more intense.
The timing of the major kill zones based on the UTC time zone is as follows :
• Asian Kill Zone: 23:00 to 03:55
• European Kill Zone: 07:00 to 09:55
• New York Morning Kill Zone: 14:30 to 16:55
• New York Evening Kill Zone: 19:30 to 20:55
This indicator focuses on tracking the kill zone and its range. For example, once a kill zone ends, the high and low formed during it remain unchanged.
If the price reaches the high or low of the kill zone while the session is still active, the corresponding line is not drawn any further. Based on this information, various strategies can be developed, and the most important ones are discussed below.
🟣 How to Use
There are three main ways to trade based on the kill zone :
• Kill Zone Hunt
• Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
• Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
🔵 Kill Zone Hunt
According to this strategy, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines no longer change, if the price reaches one of these lines within the same session and is strongly rejected, a trade can be entered.
🔵 Breakout and Pullback to Kill Zone
According to this strategy, once the kill zone ends and its high and low lines no longer change, if the price breaks one of these lines strongly within the same session, a trade can be entered on the pullback to that level.
Trading in the Trend of the Kill Zone
We know that kill zones are areas where high-volume trading occurs and powerful trends form. Therefore, trades can be made in the direction of the trend. For example, when an upward trend dominates this area, you can enter a buy trade when the price reaches a demand order block.
🟣 Features
🔵 Alerts
You can set alerts to be notified when the price hits the high or low lines of the kill zone.
🔵 More Information
By enabling this feature, you can view information such as the time and trading volume within the kill zone. This allows you to compare the trading volume with the same period on the previous day or other kill zones.
🟣 Settings
Through the settings, you have access to the following options :
• Show or hide additional information
• Enable or disable alerts
• Show or hide sessions
• Show or hide kill zones
• Set preferred colors for displaying sessions
• Customize the time range of sessions
• Customize the time range of kill zones
Sessions Lite [TradingFinder] New York, London, Asia, NYSE Forex🔵 Introduction
A trading session is one of the basic concepts in the financial market that refers to specific time periods. In fact, a session means hours during the day and night, during which traders in a certain part of the world conduct their transactions.
Although the "Forex" and "CFDs" market is open 24 hours a day and it is possible to trade in it, but in some hours the activity in this market decreases so much that many traders prefer not to trade and only watch the market. On the other hand, there are specific times when the market is very busy and dynamic, and many traders tend to trade during these hours of the day and night.
Trading sessions are usually divided into three main categories, which are "Asian", "European" and "North American" sessions. These trading sessions are also called the "Tokyo", "London" and "New York" sessions, respectively. But they also categorized these sessions in more detailed ways such as "Sydney session", "Shanghai session" or "NYSE session".
🔵 Tokyo trading session (Asian session)
After the weekend that happens on Saturday and Sunday, the Forex market starts with the Asian session. In this continent, most of the transactions are done in the Tokyo session, and for this reason, it is usually called the Asian session or the Tokyo session. However, other countries such as Australia, China and Singapore also do a lot of trading in this session.
The Tokyo session has a lower volume of transactions compared to the London and New York sessions, and therefore the liquidity is lower. In this session, most of the Forex currency pairs move in a price range. For this reason, different people use the ups and downs with the trading strategy in the range and get profit.
The low liquidity of the Tokyo session means that trading spreads are also higher during these hours. Besides, most of the transactions of this session are done in the early hours and at the same time as the planned news release.
In the Tokyo or Asia session, the best currency pairs to trade are the "Japanese yen", the "Australian dollar", and the "New Zealand dollar".
"Nikkei" index is also a good option for trading. If you trade in the Tokyo session, you should also be aware of the release of economic news and data from Australian, New Zealand and Japanese financial institutions.
🔵 London trading session (European session)
After the Asian session, it is time for the European session. In this period of time, transactions are very large and many European markets are involved. However, the European session is usually known as the London session.
Because of its specific time zone, London is not only known as the Forex trading center in Europe, but it is also known as the Forex trading center in the world. The London session overlaps with two other major trading sessions in the world, Asia and America. This means that most of the Forex transactions are done in this session. According to the latest statistics, 32% of Forex transactions are related to the London session, which shows that about a third of the activity performed in Forex takes place during this period.
This will increase the volume of Forex transactions and increase liquidity. An event that causes the spread of transactions to decrease. Of course, high liquidity also leads to greater volatility, which is desirable for many traders.
In the European session, the pound and euro currencies and the "DAX", "FTSE100", and "CAC40" indices are known as the best tradable assets. Also, traders of this session should pay attention to the news and data published by the "European Central Bank" and the "Bank of England". The news of countries like Germany, France and Italy are also very important.
🔵 American trading session (New York session)
When the New York session begins, several hours have passed since the end of the Tokyo session, but the European session is in the middle. In this session, they usually affect the financial activities carried out in America, but they also affect other countries such as Canada, Mexico and several South American countries.
The "US dollar" and stock indices such as "S&P", "Dow Jones" and "Nasdaq" are the most important assets that are traded in this session.
The early hours of the American session have a lot of liquidity and volatility due to the overlap with the European session, but with the end of the European session, the activity in the American session also decreases.
You can trade all major Forex currency pairs in the New York trading session. In this session, the "Federal Reserve", as the most important central bank in the world, is the institution that you should pay attention to its news and data.
The trading session indicator is an analytical tool in the financial markets that is used to display and analyze specific trading periods during a day. These indicators are generally useful for determining support and resistance levels during any trading session and for detecting different trading patterns.
For example, usually these indicators display the open and close price levels, the highest and lowest prices during a trading session. Also, you may notice various price patterns such as price channels, price phase phases and market trend changes during different trading sessions using these indicators.
🔵 cause of construction
In particular, the session light indicator version is designed and built for those traders who use many different tools on their chart at the same time. These traders can include "Volume Traders", "ICT traders", "Day Traders" and... These individuals can use "Session Lite" without disturbing the display of their other trading tools such as "Order Blocks", "Liquidity", "Zigzag", "FVG" etc.
But in general, there are several reasons for making tools like trading session indicators in financial markets, some of which include the following :
1. Analysis of specific time frames : Some traders and investors like to consider specific time frames for price analysis and review. For example, analyzing price changes during each trading session can help analyze trading patterns and identify trading opportunities.
2. Recognize different price patterns : Different price patterns may be observed during trading sessions. Trading session indicators can help to make better trading decisions by analyzing these patterns and their strengths and weaknesses.
3. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : These tools may help to identify support and resistance levels during any trading session which can be helpful in deciding whether to enter or exit the market.
🔵 How to use
The Session Lite indicator displays 8 sessions by default. Asia session, Sydney session, Tokyo session, Shanghai session, Europe session, London session, New York session and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session are the sessions that are displayed.

Seasonal Tendencies - SMC IndicatorsA Seasonal Tendency refers to a historical price action behaviour that tends to repeat during specific times of the year, month over month.
It's a roadmap to navigate price action on the daily chart to help determine the medium to long-term bias.
Seasonal Tendencies are NOT an exact prediction of future price action but rather serve as a guideline for spotting high-probability opportunities when combined with other elements of SMC Price Action analysis, such as Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, etc...
The Seasonal Tendencies Indicator has been tested to match what ICT has taught in his lectures. It can be applied to any Market or Asset. However, it's limited by the maximum number of years available on tradingview.
Traders can use this Seasonal Tendencies indicator to support their already existing analysis as an added confirmation tool. This indicator should not be used as a main reason to enter a trade idea.
The Seasonal Tendencies Indicator can be used in 2 ways:
1) To look for potential points of long-term reversals during specific times of the year.
2) To look for confirmation and align with an existing long-term trend.
So how does it work?
The Seasonal Tendencies Indicator takes the averages of the last 30, 10, and 5 years' prices by default and compares them to the current year's price action (Green Line).
However, the number of years chosen for the averages can be modified in the indicator's setting.
When looking at the historical price action lines, generally, the price tends to make the lows and highs during specific times of the year.
Note that we should not look at the exact dates these lows and highs form, but we take time periods conceptually instead.
In the example below, the SP500 5-year average made the low on 14 March, and the SP500 10-year average made the low on 23 March.
This gives us the idea that "generally" SP500 makes the low of the year around the 2nd to 3rd week of March every year.
So, IF the trader's analysis was pointing out that SP500 is Bullish, then we use the information that we derived from the Seasonal Tendencies Indicator to look for long setups around the 2nd to 3rd week of March for medium to long-term swing trades.
The Seasonal Tendencies Indicator can also be useful for day traders as it helps support their daily bias to look for trades within the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
How do we measure the strength of the Seasonal Tendencies?
When using the Seasonal Tendencies Indicator, it's important to look for periods where the averages converge and get closer to each other. This usually indicates that during those specific periods, there is a high probability for the price to behave in a certain way.
So the closer the averages are to each other, the more likely the price would respect the Seasonal Tendencies.
Bonus Feature
Premium Discount Range
As a bonus feature, split the Seasonal Tendencies Indicator's Range into 4 quarters to indicate when the price is at a Premium (above the 50% level in Red) and when the price is at a Discount (below the 50% level in blue).
Each Premium and Discount range is also split into 2 halves.
Those levels can also be used to identify potential turning points when comparing the Current Year's price positioning in the Yearly Range to historical price action.
As you can see from the example below, most major turning points happen at around key price levels.
