Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – IndicatorWhat this indicator does Name: Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – Indicator This is an entry model helper, not just a BOS/MSS marker. It looks for clean trend-side setups by combining: MSS (Market Structure Shift) using swing highs/lows 3-bar ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVG) First retest back into the FVG A built-in chop / trend filter based on ATR and a moving average When everything lines up, it plots: L below the candle = Long candidate S above the candle = Short candidate You pair this with a higher-timeframe filter (like the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M) to avoid pressing the button in garbage environments. How it works (simple explanation) Chop / Trend filter Computes ATR and compares each bar’s range to ATR. If the bar is small vs ATR → more likely CHOP. If the bar is big vs ATR → more likely TREND. Uses a moving average: Above MA + TREND → trendLong zone Below MA + TREND → trendShort zone MSS (Market Structure Shift) Uses swing highs/lows (left/right bars) to track the last significant high/low. Bullish MSS: close breaks above last swing high with displacement. Bearish MSS: close breaks below last swing low with displacement. Those events are marked as tiny triangles (MSS up/down). A MSS only stays “valid” for a certain number of bars (Bars after MSS allowed). 3-bar ICT FVG Bullish FVG: low > high → gap between bar 3 high and bar 2 low. Bearish FVG: high < low → gap between bar 3 low and bar 2 high. The indicator stores the FVG boundaries (top/bottom). Retest of FVG Watches for price to trade back into that gap (first touch). That retest is the “entry zone” after the MSS. Final Long / Short condition Long (L) prints when: Recent bullish MSS Bullish FVG has formed Price retests the bullish FVG Environment = trendLong (ATR + above MA) Not CHOP Short (S) prints when: Recent bearish MSS Bearish FVG has formed Price retests the bearish FVG Environment = trendShort (ATR + below MA) Not CHOP So the L/S markers are “model-approved entry candles”, not just any random BOS. Inputs / Settings Key inputs you’ll see: ATR length (chop filter) How many bars to use for ATR in the chop / trend filter. Lower = more sensitive, twitchy Higher = smoother, slower to change Max chop ratio If barRange / ATR is below this → treat as CHOP. Min trend ratio If barRange / ATR is above this → treat as TREND. Hide MSS/BOS marks in CHOP? ON = MSS triangles disappear when the bar is classified as CHOP Keeps your chart cleaner in consolidation Swing left / right bars Controls how tight or wide the swing highs/lows are for MSS: Smaller = more sensitive, more MSS points Larger = fewer, more significant swings Bars after MSS allowed How many bars after a MSS the indicator will still allow FVG entries. Small value (e.g. 10) = MSS must deliver quickly or it’s ignored. Larger (e.g. 20) = MSS idea stays “in play” longer. Visual RR (for info only) Just for plotting relative risk-reward in your head. This is not a strategy tester; it doesn’t manage positions. What you see on the chart Small green triangle up = Bullish MSS Small red triangle down = Bearish MSS “L” triangle below a bar = Long idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendLong + not chop) “S” triangle above a bar = Short idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendShort + not chop) Faint circle plots on price: When the filter sees CHOP When it sees Trend Long zone When it sees Trend Short zone You do not have to trade every L or S. They’re there to show “this is where the model would have considered an entry.” How to use it in your trading 1. Use it with a higher-timeframe filter Best practice: Use this with the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M or some other HTF filter. Only consider L/S when: Chop Meter = TRADE / NORMAL, and This indicator prints L or S in the right location (premium/discount, near OB/FVG, etc.) If higher-timeframe says NO TRADE, you ignore all L/S. 2. Location > Signal Treat L/S as confirmation, not the whole story. For shorts (S): Look for premium zones (previous highs, OBs, fair value ranges above mid). Want purge / raid of liquidity + MSS down + bearish FVG retest → then S. For longs (L): Look for discount zones (previous lows, OBs/FVGs below mid). Want stop raid / purge low + MSS up + bullish FVG retest → then L. If you see L/S firing in the middle of a bigger range, that’s where you skip and let it go. 3. Instrument presets (example) You can tune the ATR/chop settings per instrument: MNQ (noisy, 1m chart): ATR length: 21 Max chop ratio: 0.90 Min trend ratio: 1.40 Bars after MSS allowed: 10 GOLD (cleaner, 3m chart): ATR length: 14 Max chop ratio: 0.80 Min trend ratio: 1.30 Bars after MSS allowed: 20 You can save those as presets in the TV settings for quick switching. 4. How to practice with it Open replay on a couple of days. Check Chop Meter → if NO TRADE, just observe. When Chop Meter says TRADE: Mark where L/S printed. Ask: Was this in premium/discount? Was there SMT / purge on HTF? Did the move actually deliver, or did it die? Screenshot the A+ L/S and the ugly ones; refine: ATR length Chop / trend thresholds MSS lookback Your goal is to get it to where: The L/S marks show up mostly in the same places your eye already likes, and you ignore the rest.

Tristan's Box: Pre-Market Range Breakout + RetestMarket Context: This is designed for U.S. stocks, focusing on pre-market price action (4:00–9:30 AM ET) to identify key support/resistance levels before the regular session opens. Built for 1 min and 5 min timelines, and is intended for day trading / scalping. Core Idea: Pre-market range (high/low) often acts as a magnet for price during regular hours. The first breakout outside this range signals potential strong momentum in that direction. Retest of the breakout level confirms whether the breakout is valid, avoiding false moves. Step-by-Step Logic: Pre-Market Range Identification: Track high and low from 4:00–9:30 AM ET. Draw a box spanning this range for visual reference and calculation. Breakout Detection: When the first candle closes above the pre-market high → long breakout. When the first candle closes below the pre-market low → short breakout. The first breakout candle is highlighted with a “YOLO” label for visual confirmation. Retest Confirmation: Identify the first candle whose wick touches the pre-market box (high touches top for short, low touches bottom for long). Wait for the next candle: if it closes outside the box, it confirms the breakout. Entry Execution: Long entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch above the pre-market high. Short entry: on the confirming candle after a wick-touch below the pre-market low. Only the first valid entry per direction per day is taken. Visuals & Alerts: Box represents pre-market high/low. Top/bottom box border lines show the pre-market high / low levels cleanly. BUY/SELL markers are pinned to the confirming candle. Added a "YOLO" marker on breakout candle. Alert conditions trigger when a breakout is confirmed by the retest. Strategy Type: Momentum breakout strategy with confirmation retest. Combines pre-market structure and risk-managed entries. Designed to filter false breakouts by requiring confirmation on the candle after the wick-touch. In short, it’s a pre-market breakout momentum strategy: it uses the pre-market high/low as reference, waits for a breakout, and then enters only after a confirmation retest, reducing the chance of entering on a false spike. Always use good risk management.

QuantCrawler ORB Break & Retest 15m - Opening Range StrategyThis indicator automates the 15-minute Opening Range Breakout and Retest strategy. It captures the high, low, and midpoint of the first 15-minute candle, then monitors for confirmed breakouts followed by midpoint retests to generate entry signals. HOW IT WORKS 1. Captures the high, low, and midpoint of the first 15-minute candle (default 8:00-8:15 premarket) 2. Waits for price to close beyond the OR high or low by your specified breakout distance 3. After breakout confirmation, monitors for price to pull back and touch the midpoint 4. Signals LONG after bullish breakout + midpoint retest 5. Signals SHORT after bearish breakout + midpoint retest 6. Resets after each signal allowing multiple setups per session WHY 15-MINUTE ORB The 15-minute Opening Range captures more price action than a 5-minute OR, often providing stronger support/resistance levels. The 8:00 AM default captures premarket activity before the 9:30 open, giving you levels established before the crowd arrives. WHY BREAKOUT + RETEST Entering on the initial breakout often results in chop and false signals. This indicator requires confirmation - price must first prove direction by closing beyond the breakout distance, then offer a pullback entry at the midpoint. This filters out many failed breakouts. SETTINGS - Breakout Distance - Points beyond OR zone required to confirm breakout - Timezone - Select your market timezone - Opening Range Time - Customizable (default 8:00-8:15) - Session End Time - When to stop monitoring (default 4:00 PM) VISUAL OUTPUT - Green line - OR High - Red line - OR Low - Orange dotted line - OR Midpoint - Status box displays current state (Watching, Active, Closed) ALERTS Built-in alerts for Long Entry, Short Entry, or Any Entry. Works on any timeframe chart. The indicator pulls 15-minute data automatically using request.security().

It mirrors institutional liquidity behavior and combines it with strict account-safe entry rules to help traders pass and maintain funding accounts with consistency. Unlike typical indicators, this system waits for three confirmations — liquidity sweep, displacement, and a clean retest — before executing any trade. Every component is optimized for low drawdown, high R:R, and prop-firm-approved risk management. Whether you’re trading Apex, TakeProfitTrader, FFF, or OneUp Trader, this system gives you a powerful mechanical framework that keeps you within rules while identifying the market’s highest-probability reversal zones. 🔥 Key Features 1. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Stop Hunt Logic) Automatically identifies when price clears a previous swing high/low with a sweep confirmation candle. ✔ Filters noise ✔ Eliminates early entries ✔ Locks onto true liquidity grabs 2. Automatic Break of Structure (BOS) Confirmation Price must show true displacement by breaking structure opposite the sweep direction. ✔ Confirms momentum shift ✔ Removes fake reversals ✔ Ensures institutional intent 3. Precision Retest Entry Model The strategy enters only when price retests the BOS level at premium/discount pricing. ✔ Zero chasing ✔ Extremely tight stop loss placement ✔ Prop-firm-friendly controlled risk 4. Built-In Risk & Trade Management SL set at swept liquidity TP set by user-defined R:R multiplier Optional session filter (NY Open by default) One trade at a time (no pyramiding) Automatically resets logic after each trade This prevents overtrading — the #1 cause of evaluation and account breaches. 5. Designed for Prop Firm Futures Trading This script is optimized for: Trailing/static drawdown accounts Micro contract precision Funding evaluations Low-risk, high-probability setups Structured, rule-based execution It reduces randomness and emotional trading by automating the highest-quality SMC sequence. 🎯 The Trading Model Behind the System Step 1 — Liquidity Sweep Price must take out a recent high/low and close back inside structure. This confirms stop-hunting behavior and marks the beginning of a potential reversal. Step 2 — BOS (Break of Structure) Price must break the opposite side swing with a displacement candle. This validates a directional shift. Step 3 — Retest Entry The system waits for price to retrace into the BOS level and signal continuation. This creates optimal R:R entry with minimal drawdown. 📈 Best Markets NQ (NASDAQ Futures) – Highly recommended ES, YM, RTY Gold (XAUUSD) FX majors Crypto (with high volatility) Works best on 1m, 2m, 5m, or 15m depending on your trading style. 🧠 Why Traders Love This System ✔ No signals until all confirmations align ✔ Reduces overtrading and emotional decisions ✔ Follows market structure instead of random indicators ✔ Perfect for maintaining long-term funded accounts ✔ Built around institutional-grade concepts ✔ Makes your trading consistent, calm, and rules-based ⚙️ Recommended Settings Session: 06:30–08:00 MST (NY Open) R:R: 1.5R – 3R Contracts: Start with 1–2 micros Markets: NQ for best structure & volume 📦 What’s Included Complete strategy logic All plots, labels, sweep markers & BOS alerts BOS retest entry automation Session filtering Stop loss & take profit system Full SMC logic pipeline 🏁 Summary The Liquidity Sweep + BOS Retest System is a complete, prop-firm-ready, structure-based strategy that automates one of the cleanest and most reliable SMC entry models.

Multi-Timeframe HTS Retest Strategy v6Multi-Timeframe HTS Retest Strategy v6 is a trend-following tool designed to detect high-probability retest entries aligned with higher timeframe direction. The indicator applies HTS bands (short & long) on both the current and higher timeframe (4x–8x multiplier) to confirm market bias. A strong trend is validated when HTS bands separate on the higher timeframe. On the lower timeframe, the strategy tracks price behavior relative to the bands: after breaking outside, price must retest either the fast (blue) or slow (red) band, confirmed by a rejection candle. This generates precise BUY or SELL retest signals. Features include flexible average methods (RMA, EMA, SMA, etc.), customizable cross detection (final cross, 4 crosses, or both), volume-based retest conditions, and clear visual signals (dots for trend start, triangles for retests). Alerts are integrated for automation. This strategy is suitable for forex, crypto, indices, and stocks, supporting both scalping and swing trading.

Market Energy – Trend vs Retest (with Saturation %)Market Energy – Trend vs Retest Indicator This indicator measures the bullish and bearish energy in the market based on volume-weighted price changes. It calculates two smoothed energy waves — bullish energy and bearish energy — using exponential moving averages of volume-adjusted price movements. The indicator detects trend changes and retests by comparing the relative strength of these waves. A saturation percentage quantifies the intensity of the current dominant side (bulls or bears) relative to recent highs. - High saturation (>70%) indicates strong momentum and dominance by bulls or bears. - Low saturation (<30%) suggests weak momentum and possible market indecision or consolidation. The background color highlights the current control: green for bulls, red for bears, with transparency indicating the saturation level. A label shows which side is currently in control along with the saturation percentage for quick interpretation. Use this tool to identify strong trends, possible retests, and momentum strength to support your trading decisions.

Support and Resistance with Signals [UAlgo]🔶 Description: "Support and Resistance with Signals ", is designed to identify key support and resistance levels on a trading chart while also signaling potential retests (denoted as "R") and breakouts (denoted as "B"). The indicator dynamically plots support and resistance lines based on pivot points and adjusts them according to price action and sensitivity settings. It aims to assist traders in identifying significant price levels and potential reversal or breakout opportunities. 🔶 Key Features: Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot highs and pivot lows based on a specified period length (Checks Left and Right bars). Adjust the length of the pivot period to control the sensitivity of support and resistance levels according to the your preferences. Support and Resistance Lines: It plots support and resistance lines at the pivot high and pivot low points, respectively. Retest and Breakout Signals: Signals are generated based on the sensitivity setting, which adds/subtracts a portion (half) of the Average True Range (ATR) to the pivot points. A retest signal ("R") is generated when the price approaches the support or resistance level within the sensitivity range. A breakout signal ("B") is generated when the price surpasses the support or resistance level. Sensitivity (ATR Length): Modify the retest-breakout sensitivity length to fine-tune the generation of signals based on price volatility. Maximum Lines : Limit the number of support and resistance lines displayed on the chart for clarity. Line Colors and Width: Customize the colors and width of support and resistance lines for better visualization. More Examples: Before Retest Signal: When the price enters the retest range at the specified sensitivity: Disclaimer: This indicator is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Trading involves risk, and users should conduct their own research and analysis before making any investment decisions. The retest and breakout signals generated by this indicator are based on historical price data and may not guarantee future results. Users should exercise caution and use additional confirmation methods before entering any trades based on the signals provided by this indicator. Happy Trading !

Liquidity Retest Strategy (Apicode) - TP/SL Lines FixedTechnical Documentation: 1. Purpose and underlying concept This strategy targets a common behavior in liquid markets: liquidity sweeps around meaningful support/resistance levels, followed by a retest and rejection (reversal) with confirmation. The core thesis is that many initial “breaks” are not continuation moves, but rather stop-runs and order harvesting. After the sweep, price reclaims the level and closes back on the opposite side, offering a structured entry with defined risk. The strategy includes: Support/Resistance detection via pivots Dynamic selection of the “working” level using an ATR-based proximity window Rejection validation via candle structure (wick + close) Optional filters: volume, VWAP-like bias, and EMA trend Risk management with static TP/SL (ATR-based or %), plus trailing stop (ATR-based or %), with per-trade lines plotted 2. Main components 2.1. Volatility metric: ATR atr = ta.atr(atrLength) is used in two essential places: Level selection (proximity to S/R): prevents trading levels that are too far from current price. Sweep validation (minimum wick size): requires the wick to extend beyond the level by a volatility-relative amount. Optionally, ATR can also be used for: Static TP/SL (when usePercent = false) Trailing stop (when useTrailPercent = false) 2.2. Building S/R levels with pivots Pivots are detected using: pivotHigh = ta.pivothigh(pivotLookback, rightBars) pivotLow = ta.pivotlow(pivotLookback, rightBars) Each confirmed pivot is stored in arrays: resistanceLevels for resistance supportLevels for support The array size is capped by maxLevels, which reduces noise and manages chart resource usage (lines). 2.3. Selecting the “best” level each bar On each bar, a single support S and/or resistance R candidate is chosen: Support: nearest level below price (L < price) Resistance: nearest level above price (L > price) Only levels within atr * maxDistATR are considered This produces dynamic “working levels” that adapt to price location and volatility. 2.4. Rejection pattern (retest + sweep) After selecting the working level: Support rejection (long setup) Conditions: Low touches/crosses support: low <= S Close reclaims above: close > S Bullish candle: close > open Sufficient wick below the level (liquidity sweep): (S - low) >= atr * minWickATR This aims to capture a stop sweep below support followed by immediate recovery. Resistance rejection (short setup) Symmetric conditions: High touches/crosses resistance: high >= R Close rejects back below: close < R Bearish candle: close < open Sufficient wick above the level: (high - R) >= atr * minWickATR 2.5. Optional filters Final signals are the rejection pattern AND enabled filters: 1.- Volume filter High volume is defined as: volume > SMA(volume, 20) * volMult When useVolFilter = true, setups require relatively elevated participation 2.- VWAP-like bias filter A VWAP-like series is computed over vwapLength (typical price weighted by volume) When useVWAPFilter = true: - Longs only if close > vwap - Shorts only if close < vwap 3.- EMA trend filter Uptrend if EMA(fast) > EMA(slow) When useTrendFilter = true: - Longs only in uptrend - Shorts only in downtrend 2.6. Backtest time window (time filter) To keep testing focused and reduce long-history noise: useMaxLookbackDays enables the filter maxLookbackDays defines how many days back from timenow entries are allowed Entries are permitted only when time >= startTime. 3. Entry rules and position control 3.1. Entries strategy.entry('Long', strategy.long) when longSetup and no long position is open strategy.entry('Short', strategy.short) when shortSetup and no short position is open No pyramiding is allowed (pyramiding = 0). Position gating is handled by: Long allowed if strategy.position_size <= 0 Short allowed if strategy.position_size >= 0 4. Risk management: TP/SL and trailing (with plotted lines) 4.1. Detecting entry/exit events Events are identified via changes in strategy.position_size: LongEntry: transition into a long shortEntry: transition into a short flatExit: transition back to flat This drives per-trade line creation, updates, and cleanup of state variables. 4.2. Static TP/SL On entry, entryPrice := strategy.position_avg_price is stored. Percent mode (usePercent = true) Long: staticSL = entryPrice*(1 - slPerc/100) staticTP = entryPrice*(1 + tpPerc/100) Short: staticSL = entryPrice*(1 + slPerc/100) staticTP = entryPrice*(1 - tpPerc/100) ATR mode (usePercent = false) Long: staticSL = entryPrice - atrAtEntry*slATR staticTP = entryPrice + atrAtEntry*tpATR Short: staticSL = entryPrice + atrAtEntry*slATR staticTP = entryPrice - atrAtEntry*tpATR 4.3. Trailing stop (custom) While a position is open, the script tracks the most favorable excursion: Long: hhSinceEntry = highest high since entry Short: llSinceEntry = lowest low since entry A trailing candidate is computed: Percent trailing (useTrailPercent = true) Long: trailCandidate = hhSinceEntry*(1 - trailPerc/100) Short: trailCandidate = llSinceEntry*(1 + trailPerc/100) ATR trailing (useTrailPercent = false) Long: trailCandidate = hhSinceEntry - atr*trailATR Short: trailCandidate = llSinceEntry + atr*trailATR Then the effective stop is selected: Long: slUsed = max(staticSL, trailCandidate) when useTrail is enabled Short: slUsed = min(staticSL, trailCandidate) when useTrail is enabled If useTrail is disabled, slUsed remains the static stop. Take profit remains static: tpUsed = staticTP Exit orders are issued via: strategy.exit(..., stop=slUsed, limit=tpUsed) 4.4. Per-trade TP/SL lines On each entry, two lines are created (SL and TP) via f_createLines(). During the trade, the SL line updates when trailing moves the stop; TP remains fixed. On exit (flatExit), both lines are finalized on the exit bar and left on the chart as historical references. This makes it straightforward to visually audit each trade: entry context, intended TP, and trailing evolution until exit. 5. Visualization and debugging BUY/SELL labels with configurable size (xsize) Debug mode (showDebug) plots the chosen working support/resistance level each bar Stored pivot levels are drawn using reusable line slots, projected a fixed 20 bars to the right to keep the chart readable and efficient 6. Parameter guidance and practical notes pivotLookback / rightBars: controls pivot significance vs responsiveness. Lower rightBars confirms pivots earlier but can increase noise. maxDistATR: too low may reject valid levels; too high may select distant, less relevant levels. minWickATR: key quality gate for “real” sweeps. Higher values reduce frequency but often improve signal quality. Filters: Volume filter tends to help in ranges and active sessions. VWAP bias is useful intraday to align trades with session positioning. EMA trend filter is helpful in directional markets but may remove good mean-reversion setups. Percent TP/SL: provides consistent behavior across assets with variable volatility, but is less adaptive to sudden regime shifts. Percent trailing: can capture extensions well; calibrate trailPerc per asset/timeframe (too tight = premature exits). 7. Known limitations Pivot-derived levels are a heuristic; in strong trends, valid retests may be limited. The time filter uses timenow; behavior may vary depending on historical context and how the platform evaluates “current time.” TP/SL and trailing are computed from bar OHLC; in live trading, intrabar sequencing and fills may differ from bar-close simulation.

EMA Break & Retest + Trend TableThis script is designed to identify potential buy and sell trading opportunities based on 21 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) break and retest patterns, with confirmation from multi-timeframe trend analysis. It combines actionable signal generation with a clean, real-time trend overview table. ✅ 1. EMA Break & Retest Logic Detects when the price crosses above or below the 21 EMA and then closes in the direction of the breakout. Generates buy signals on upward break/retest, and sell signals on downward break/retest. ✅ 2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation Filters signals using higher timeframe trends to avoid false entries. Buy signals are shown only if the 1H or 4H trend is bullish. Sell signals are shown only if the 1H or 4H trend is bearish. ✅ 3. Visual Signal Plotting Displays green "BUY" labels below bars and red "SELL" labels above bars. Users can toggle buy/sell signals on or off with checkboxes. ✅ 4. Alerts Built-in alertcondition() functions allow traders to set real-time alerts when buy or sell signals are triggered. ✅ 5. Multi-Timeframe Trend Table A dynamic table appears in the top-right corner showing trend status across: Daily (D) 4 Hour (4H) 1 Hour (1H) 15 Minute (15M) 5 Minute (5M) Each timeframe is marked as Bullish (green) or Bearish (red) depending on the current price vs. 21 EMA.

Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) [LuxAlgo]The Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator is based on the inversion FVG concept by ICT and provides support and resistance zones based on mitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). 🔶 USAGE Once mitigation of an FVG occurs, we detect the zone as an "Inverted FVG". This would now be looked upon for potential support or resistance. Mitigation occurs when the price closes above or below the FVG area in the opposite direction of its bias. Inverted Bullish FVGs Turn into Potential Zones of Resistance. Inverted Bearish FVGs Turn into Potential Zones of Support. After the FVG has been mitigated, returning an inversion FVG, a signal is displayed each time the price retests an IFVG zone and breaks below or above (depending on the direction of the FVG). Keep in mind how IFVGs are calculated and displayed. Once price mitigates an IFVG, all associated graphical elements such as areas, lines, and signals will be deleted. This indicator is not meant to be just a 'signal indicator'. Backtesting historical signals is incorrect as it does not consider the mitigation of IFVGs, which is a standard method for trading IFVGs & various concepts by ICT. The signals displayed are meant for real-time analysis of current bars for discretionary analysis. Current confirmed retests of unmitigated IFVGs are still displayed to show which IFVGS have had significant reactions. 🔶 SETTINGS Show Last: Specifies the number of most recent FVG Inversions to display in Bullish/Bearish pairs, starting at the current and looking back. Max 100 Pairs. Signal Preference: Allows the user to choose to send signals based on the (Wicks) or (Close) Prices. This can be changed based on user preference. ATR Multiplier: Filters FVGs based on ATR Width, The script will only detect Inversions that are greater than the ATR * ATR Width. 🔶 ALERTS This script includes alert options for all signals. 🔹 Bearish Signal A bearish signal occurs when the price returns to a bearish inversion zone and rejects to the downside. 🔹 Bullish Signal A bullish signal occurs when the price returns to a bullish inversion zone and bounces out of the top.

For short positions its the opposite. - For lower timeframes there are some other factors that help filter out bad signals that include: - Makes sure that volume is increasing. - Makes sure that volume is higher than average volume. - For higher timeframes, the more specific factors aren't required. How to use this indicator: - Green triangles mean long positions - Red triangles mean short positions - Always trade with stoplosses and never risk too much of your account, please practice proper risk managment.

Trishul Tap Signals (v6) — Liquidity Sweep + Imbalanced RetestTrishul Tap Signals — Liquidity Sweep + Imbalanced Retest Type: Signal-only indicator (non-repainting) Style: Price-action + Liquidity + Trend-following Best for: Intraday & Swing Trading — any liquid market (stocks, futures, crypto, FX) Timeframes: Any (5m–1D recommended) Concept The Trishul Tap setup is a liquidity-driven retest play inspired by order-flow and Smart Money Concepts. It identifies one-sided impulse candles that also sweep liquidity (grab stops above/below a recent swing), then waits for price to retest the origin of that candle to enter in the trend direction. Think of it as the three points of a trident: Trend filter — Only signals with the prevailing trend. Liquidity sweep — Candle takes out a recent swing high/low (stop-hunt). Imbalanced retest — Price taps the candle’s open/low (bull) or open/high (bear). Bullish Setup Trend Filter: Price above EMA(200). Impulse Candle: Green close. Upper wick ≥ (wickRatio × lower wick). Lower wick ≤ (oppWickMaxFrac × full range). Liquidity Sweep: Candle’s high exceeds the highest high of the last sweepLookback bars (excluding current). Tap Entry: Buy signal triggers when price later taps the candle’s low or open (user choice) within expireBars. Bearish Setup Trend Filter: Price below EMA(200). Impulse Candle: Red close. Lower wick ≥ (wickRatio × upper wick). Upper wick ≤ (oppWickMaxFrac × full range). Liquidity Sweep: Candle’s low breaks the lowest low of the last sweepLookback bars (excluding current). Tap Entry: Sell signal triggers when price later taps the candle’s high or open (user choice) within expireBars. Inputs Trend EMA Length: Default 200. Sweep Lookback: Number of bars for liquidity sweep check (default 20). Wick Ratio: Required size ratio of dominant wick to opposite wick (default 2.0). Opposite Wick Max %: Opposite wick must be ≤ this fraction of the candle’s range (default 25%). Tap Tolerance (ticks): How close price must come to the level to count as a tap. Expire Bars: Max bars after setup to allow a valid tap. One Signal per Level: If ON, a base is “consumed” after first signal. Plot Tap Levels: Show horizontal lines for active bases. Show Setup Labels: Mark the origin sweep candle. Plots & Visuals EMA Trend Line — trend filter reference. Tap Levels — Green = bullish base (origin candle’s low/open). Red = bearish base (origin candle’s high/open). Labels — Show where the setup candle formed. Signals — BUY: triangle-up below bar at bullish tap. SELL: triangle-down above bar at bearish tap. Alerts Two built-in conditions: BUY Signal (Trishul Tap) — triggers on bullish tap. SELL Signal (Trishul Tap) — triggers on bearish tap. Set via Alerts panel → Condition = this indicator → Choose signal type. How to Trade It Use in liquid markets with clean price structure. Confirm with HTF structure, volume spikes, or other confluence if desired. Place stop just beyond the tap level (or ATR-based). Target 1–2R or trail behind structure. Why It Works Liquidity sweep traps traders entering late (breakout buyers or panic sellers) and forces them to exit in the opposite direction, fueling your entry. Wick imbalance confirms directional aggression by one side. Trend filter keeps you aligned with the market’s dominant flow. Retest entry lets you enter at a better price with reduced risk. Non-Repainting Setups form only on confirmed bar closes. Signals trigger only on later bars that tap the stored level. No lookahead functions are used. Disclaimer This script is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Test thoroughly in a simulator or demo before using in live markets. Trading involves risk.
