ICT Silver Bullet [LuxAlgo]The ICT Silver Bullet indicator is inspired from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) and highlights the Silver Bullet (SB) window which is a specific 1-hour interval where a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern can be formed.
When a FVG is formed during the Silver Bullet window, Support & Resistance lines will be drawn at the end of the SB session.
There are 3 different Silver Bullet windows (New York local time):
The London Open Silver Bullet (3 AM — 4 AM ~ 03:00 — 04:00)
The AM Session Silver Bullet (10 AM — 11 AM ~ 10:00 — 11:00)
The PM Session Silver Bullet (2 PM — 3 PM ~ 14:00 — 15:00)
🔶 USAGE
The ICT Silver Bullet indicator aims to provide users a comprehensive display as similar as possible to how anyone would manually draw the concept on their charts.
It's important to use anything below the 15-minute timeframe to ensure proper setups can display. In this section, we are purely using the 3-minute timeframe.
In the image below, we can see a bullish setup whereas a FVG was successfully retested during the Silver Bullet session. This was then followed by a move upwards to liquidity as our target.
Alternatively, you can also see below a bearish setup utilizing the ICT Silver Bullet indicator outlined.
At this moment, the indicator has removed all other FVGs within the Silver Bullet session & has confirmed this FVG as the retested one.
There is also a support level marked below to be used as a liquidity target as per the ICT Silver Bullet concept suggests.
In the below chart we can see 4 separate consecutive examples of bullish & bearish setups on the 3-minute chart.
🔶 CONCEPTS
This technique can visualize potential support/resistance lines, which can be used as targets.
The script contains 2 main components:
• forming of a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
• drawing support/resistance (S/R) lines
🔹 Forming of FVG
1 basic principle: when a FVG at the end of the SB session is not retraced, it will be made invisible.
Dependable on the settings, different FVG's will be shown.
• 'All FVG': all FVG's are shown, regardless the trend
• 'Only FVG's in the same direction of trend': Only FVG's are shown that are similar to the trend at that moment (trend can be visualized by enabling ' Show ' -> ' Trend ')
-> only bearish FVG when the trend is bearish vs. bullish FVG when trend is bullish
• 'strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below the top of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above bottom of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
• 'super-strict': Besides being similar to the trend, only FVG's are shown when the FVG box is NOT broken
in the opposite direction AND the closing price at the end of the SB session is:
– below bottom of the FVG box (bearish FVG)
– above the top of the FVG box (bullish FVG)
' Super-Strict ' mode resembles ICT lectures the most.
🔹 Drawing support/resistance lines
When the SB session has ended, the script draws potential support/resistance lines, again, dependable on the settings.
• Previous session (any): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous session.
For example, when current session is ' AM SB Session (10 AM — 11 AM) ', then previous session is
' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ', S/R lines between these 2 sessions alone will be included.
• Previous session (similar): S/R lines are fetched between current and previous - similar - session.
For example, when current session is ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM)' , only S/R lines between
current session and previous ' London Open SB (3 AM — 4 AM) ' session are included.
When a new session starts, S/R lines will be removed, except when enabling ' Keep lines (only in strict mode) '
This is not possible in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, since the chart would be cluttered.
Note that in ' All FVG ' or ' Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, both, Support/Resistance lines will be shown,
while in Strict/Super-Strict mode:
• only Support lines will be shown if a bearish FVG appears
• only Resistance lines if a bullish FVG is shown
The lines will still be drawn the the end of the SB session, when a valid FVG appears,
but the S/R lines will remain visible and keep being updated until price reaches that line.
This publication contains a "Minimum Trade Framework (mTFW)", which represents the best-case expected price delivery, this is not your actual trade entry - exit range.
• 40 ticks for index futures or indices
• 15 pips for Forex pairs.
When on ' Strict/Super-Strict ' mode, only S/R lines will be shown which are:
• higher than the lowest FVG bottom + mTFW, in a bullish scenario
• lower than the highest FVG bottom - mTFW, in a bearish scenario
When on ' All FVG/Only FVG's in the same direction of trend ' mode, or on non-Forex/Futures/Indices symbols, S/R needs to be higher/lower than SB session high/low.

Reversal Signals [LuxAlgo]The Reversal Signals indicator is a technical analysis tool that aims to identify when a trend is fading and potentially starting to reverse.
As a counter-trend tool, the Reversal Signals indicator aims to solve the problem of several technical analysis indicators that perform well during trending markets but struggle in ranging markets. By understanding the key concepts and applications of the tool, traders can enhance their market timing and improve their trading strategies.
Note: It's important to explore the settings of the indicator to customize to your own usage & display as there are various options available as covered below.
🔶 USAGE
The Reversal Signals indicator is comprised of two main phases: Momentum Phase and Trend Exhaustion Phase . These phases help identify potential trend reversals in bullish, bearish, and ranging markets.
🔹The Momentum Phase
The momentum phase consists of a 9-candle count and in rare cases 8-candle count. In a bullish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes higher than the close of a candle four periods ago. In a bearish trend, a starting number ‘1’ is plotted if a candle closes lower than the close of a candle four periods ago.
The following numbers are plotted when each successive candle satisfies the four-period rule. The potential reversal point comes when the Reversal Signals plot a label on top of a candle in a bullish trend or at the bottom of a candle in a bearish trend. The momentum phase is immediately canceled if, at any point, a candle fails to satisfy the four-period rule.
Based on the extremes of the momentum phase, the Reversal Signals generate support & resistance levels as well as risk/stop levels.
🔹 The Trend Exhaustion Phase
The trend exhaustion phase starts after completing the momentum phase and consists of a 13-candle count. In a bullish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be greater than the close two periods earlier. In a bearish trend exhaustion phase, each candle’s close is compared to the close of two candles earlier, and the close must be lower than the close two periods earlier.
The trend exhaustion phase does not require a consecutive sequence of candles; if the order of candles is interrupted, the trend exhaustion phase is not canceled. The trend exhaustion phase generates stronger trading signals than the momentum phase, with the potential for longer-lasting price reversals.
🔹 Trading Signals
The Reversal Signals script presents an overall setup and some phase-specific trade setup options, where probable trades might be considered. All phase-specific trade setups, presented as options, are triggered once the selected phase is completed and followed by a price flip in the direction of the trade setup.
Please note that those setups are presented for educational purposes only and do not constitutes professional and/or financial advice
- Momentum: Enter a trade at momentum phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) momentum phase pattern is complete. Ideally, the momentum phase completion should close near its support/resistance line but shall not be above them, which indicates continuation of the trend
- Exhaustion: Enter a trade on trend exhaustion phase completion, and search for buy (sell) when the bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase is complete
- Qualified: Buy (sell) when a bullish (bearish) trend exhaustion phase combined with another bullish (bearish) momentum phase sequence is complete
Long trade setups are presented with "L" label and short trade setups with "S" label, where the content of the label displays details related to the probable trade opportunity
Once a phase-specific trade setup is triggered then the Reversal Signals script keeps checking the status of the price action relative to the phase-specific trade setups and in case something goes wrong presents a caution label. Pay attention to the content of the caution labels as well as where they appear. A trade signal, followed immediately by a warning indication can be assumed as a continuation of the underlying trend and can be traded in the opposite direction of the suggested signal
It is strongly advised to confirm trading setups in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis, including technical indicators, chart/candlestick pattern analysis, etc.
🔶 DETAILS
The Reversal Signals script performs the detection of the phases by counting the candlestick meeting the specific conditions, which includes:
- Detection of the 8th and 9th candle perfection during the momentum phase
- In some cases, the 8th count will be assumed as momentum phase completion
- Trend exhaustion phase counting stops in case any type of momentum phase completion is detected during the counting process
- Postponing the last count of the trend exhaustion phase, the 13th candle must be below/above the 8th candle and if not the candles will be indicated with '+' sign under them and the script continues to search for a 13th candle at the next ones until the conditions are met
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Momentum / Trend Exhaustion phase completion
Support & Resistance level cross detection
Stop / Risk level cross detection

🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Here are the scripts that may add additional insight during potential trading decisions.
Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity
Support-Resistance-Classification
EMA + ATR Support and Resistance + Take Profit SignalThe 'EMA+ ATR Support Resistance Take Profit signal' indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential support and resistance levels, using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Average True Range (ATR) indicators. This indicator not only tracks the EMA and ATR but also plots these levels as support and resistance lines, providing useful insights into potential buy and sell points.
The indicator allows you to set the lengths for both the EMA and ATR, with default values set to 20 and 14, respectively. Moreover, you can specify the multiplier for the ATR in the Support/Resistance (S/R) length setting, which defaults to 2. The line width for the plotted lines can also be adjusted according to your preference.
The EMA line in center is invisible by default but you can change that by going to the setting of the indicator. The support and resistance lines are plotted in green and red, respectively. When the price hits the support or resistance levels, the indicator provides a visual signal with a cross shape below or above the respective bars, in lime and red, respectively. If you do not need the take profit signals you can disable them in the setting.
How to Use:
1. Define the EMA and ATR lengths according to your trading strategy. Higher lengths will provide smoother lines but may also lag the current price action.
2. Set the S/R length to determine the distance of the support and resistance lines from the EMA line. Higher values will place these lines further away from the EMA.
3. Monitor the chart for instances when the price hits the support or resistance levels. This is indicated by a cross shape below (for support hit) or above (for resistance hit) the price bar. These points may be considered as potential take profit points or entry/exit points, depending on your strategy.
4. Use the indicator in conjunction with other tools and indicators to confirm signals and reduce the risk of false signals. So the assumption is you enter a trade using your other indicators but you can rely on this indicator to remind you to take profit if you are long by a red cross of the resistance line and if you are short reminds you by a green cross on the support line.
Disclaimer: This indicator should not be used as the sole determinant for any investment decision. Always conduct thorough research and consider multiple factors before trading.
Supply and Demand Visible Range [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator displays areas & levels on the user's chart for the visible range using a novel volume-based method. The script also makes use of intra-bar data to create precise Supply & Demand zones.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas and levels displayed by the script are aimed at providing potential supports/resistances for users. The script's behavior makes it recalculate each time the visible chart interval/range changes, as such this script is more suited as a descriptive tool.
Price reaching a supply (upper) area that might have been tested a few times might be indicative of a potential reversal down, while price reaching a demand (lower) area that might have been tested a few times could be indicative of a potential reversal up.
The width of each area can also indicate which areas are more liquid, with thinner areas indicating more significant liquidity.
The user can control the width of each area using the Threshold % setting, with a higher setting returning wider areas. The precision setting can also return wider supply/demand areas if very low values are used and has the benefit of improving the script execution time at the cost of precision.
The Supply and Demand Zones indicator returns various levels. The solid-colored levels display the average of each area, while dashed colored lines display the weighted averages of each area. These weighted averages can highlight more liquid price levels within the supply/demand areas.
Central solid/dashed lines display the average between the areas' averages and weighted averages.
🔶 DETAILS
Each supply/demand area is constructed from volume data. The calculation is done as follows:
The accumulated volume within the chart visible range is calculated.
The chart visible range is divided into N bins of equal width (where N is the resolution setting)
Calculation start from the highest visible range price value for the supply area, and lowest value for the demand area.
The volume within each bin after the starting calculation level is accumulated, once this accumulated volume is equal or exceed the threshold value ( p % of the total visible range volume) the area is set.
Each bin volume accumulation within an area is displayed on the left, this can help indicate how fast volume accumulates within an area.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
The script execution time is dependent on all of the script's settings, using more demanding settings might return errors so make sure to be aware of the potential scenarios that might make the script exceed the allowed execution time:
Having a chart's visible range including a high number of bars.
Using a high number of bins (high resolution value) will increase computation time, this can be worsened by using a high threshold %.
Using very low intra-bar timeframe can drastically increase computation time but can also simply throw an error if the chart timeframe is high.
Users facing issues can lower the resolution value or use the chart timeframe for intra-bar data.
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Refurbished▮Introduction
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) Indicator is a technical indicator used in technical analysis of stocks and other financial instruments.
It was developed by William Blau in 1993 and is considered to be a momentum indicator that can help identify trend reversal points.
Basically, it's a combination of the True Strength Index with a signal line to help identify turning points in the market.
SMI uses the stochastic formula to compare the current closing price of an asset with the maximum and minimum price range over a specific period.
He then compares this ratio to a short-term moving average to create an indicator that oscillates between -100 and +100.
When the SMI is above 0, it is considered positive, indicating that the current price is above the short-term moving average.
When it is below 0, it is considered negative, indicating that the current price is below the short-term moving average.
Traders use the SMI to identify potential trend reversal points.
When the indicator reaches an extreme level above +40 or below -40, a trend reversal is possible.
Furthermore, traders also watch for divergences between the SMI and the asset price to identify potential trading opportunities.
It is important to remember that the SMI is a technical indicator and as such should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to get a complete picture of the market situation.
▮ Improvements
The following features were added:
1. 7 color themes, for TSI, Signal and Histogram.
2. Possibility to customize moving average type for TSI/Signal.
3. Dynamic Zones.
4. Crossing Alerts.
5. Alert points on specific ranges.
5. Coloring of bars according to TSI/Signal/Histogram.

▮ About Dynamic Zones
'Most indicators use a fixed zone for buy and sell signals.
Here's a concept based on zones that are responsive to the past levels of the indicator.'
The concept of Dynamic Zones was described by Leo Zamansky ( Ph .D.) and David Stendahl, in the magazine of Stocks & Commodities V15:7 (306-310).
Basically, a statistical calculation is made to define the extreme levels, delimiting a possible overbought/oversold region.
Given user-defined probabilities, the percentile is calculated using the method of Nearest Rank.
It is calculated by taking the difference between the data point and the number of data points below it, then dividing by the total number of data points in the set.
The result is expressed as a percentage.
This provides a measure of how a particular value compares to other values in a data set, identifying outliers or values that are significantly higher or lower than the rest of the data.
▮ What to look for
1. Divergences/weakening of a trend/reversal:
2. Supports, resistances, pullbacks:
3. Overbought/Oversold Points:

CryptoverseThis Indicator dynamically generates and charts Pivot Points, Support and Resistance Lines, Trend Channels and even Rsi Divergences in every market and every time period.
While it helps you identify your entry points, stop loss and take positions, it certainly does not include trading signals and trading strategy.
Bonus: the indicator contains ema21, ema50, ema100 and ema200 to support the lines created. If you wish, you can change the EMA values in the settings.
Recommendation: RSI is included in the indicator codes in order to detect divergences dataally, but it is not displayed on the chart. I recommend adding an additional RSI indicator to keep track of past and current potential divergences.
USER MANUAL:
----------------------------------------------
General Settings:
Pivot Period: This field determines how many candles before and after a candle should be controlled in order to be able to determine the top and bottom points on the chart.
Support and Resistance Lines and Trend Channels formed on the chart are created by calculating the Pivot points formed according to the period determined here. (Default value: 6)
Pivot Source: Determines the pivot points to be created according to the value of the relevant candle.
(Default and Recommended: closing)
----------------------------------------------
Support And Resistance Settings:
Custom Bars Back: This area allows you to specify how many pivot points from the current candle to the previous candle to create support resistance lines on the Chart. The default value is the last 500 candles.
*Note: The more old candles are checked, the more support and resistance lines will appear. This may prevent you from making sound determinations on the chart.*
Current Bar Decrease: This field works integrated with Custom Bars Back. By subtracting the current candle by the specified number, it provides the formation of lines without including those candles.
Default value: It is set to 0 to include current data.
Example: If Custom Bars Back: 500 and Current Bar Decrease: 10, Support and Resistance lines are created by considering 500 candles before the last 10 candles without including the last 10 candles on the chart.
Show S/R Lines: This field allows you to show or hide the Support and Resistance lines at any time.
Auto Simplification: This field is marked by default. It allows the Simplification Steps value to be determined automatically within the code according to the time period and current volatility of the relevant parity. (It is recommended to use the default version.)
Simplification Steps: This field allows you to get more understandable lines by simplifying the Support and Resistance lines based on Pivot points. If a simplification is not done, the lines to be formed with only the pivot points will be too many and this creates a dirty and useless appearance on the chart.
Each 1 digit you enter as a step combines the lines that are close to each other at a value of 0.01% and creates a common line.
Example: If you enter the number 10 as Steps, it will form a single common line from lines close together, starting at 0.01% respectively. It will continue to increase by 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04% in its next steps. For the number 10, it will complete its loop by combining lines within the last remaining lines that are as close as 0.1% to each other and creating new lines from their midpoints.
The deafult value is 14. (Max. simplifies lines with closeness up to 1.4%.)
Important Note: If Auto Simplification is on, the entered value has no meaning. The Indicator performs simplification operations automatically. If you want to manage these steps manually, you can turn off Auto Simplification and enter your own value.
S/R Lines Color: Allows you to specify the color of the lines.
Label Location: Allows you to determine how many candles ahead the information label formed for each line will be positioned.
Line Label Descriptions:
Line: It is the price value that the line coincides with.*
Distance: Shows the percentage distance of the line from the current price.
▲ : Shows the percentage distance from the line above it.
▼ : Shows the percentage distance from the line below it.
Strength: Indicates the total number of steps the process has taken during the simplification process. The height of the number indicates the strength of resistance and support in the close price range.
C. Width: stands for Channel Width. It shows the percentage value between the highest price and the lowest price on the past candle as many candles specified by Custom Bars Back.
S. Steps: stands for Simplification Steps. Indicates the number of simplification steps applied. A value of 150 in the image indicates that a 1.5% simplification range has been applied.
----------------------------------------------
Trend Channels Settings:
Show All Trend Lines: Allows you to show and hide trend channels.
Hide Old Trend Lines: If you enable it, it will hide channels created in the past except for Current Trend channels.
Helper Line Format: Allows the auxiliary line that converts a trendline to a channel to be drawn based on percentage or price.
Note: There may be cases where the auxiliary lines do not provide full parallelism when using large time intervals by preferring a percentage.
Up Trend Color: Indicates the color of the Up Trend channel.
Down Trend Color: Specifies the color of the Downtrend channel.
Show Up Trend Overflow, Show Down Trend Overflow:
When the price closes above or below the trend channels, it provides awareness with the help of a text on the chart. Colors can be adjusted according to preference.
----------------------------------------------
RSI Divergences Settings:
This indicator gives you information about 4 different divergences. You can customize the divergence views with the show and hide options.
Bullish Regular, Bullish Hidden, Bearish Regular and Bearish Hidden.
Green divergences from the bottom of the graph represent bullish, and red divergences above the graph represent bearish.
Important note: Seeing a mismatch label definitely indicates that there is a mismatch between prices and rsi, but a mismatch does not always indicate a change in price.
Potential Divergence:
The indicator not only shows you past divergences, but also informs you of potential divergences based on the current status of the chart.
A potential divergence may not turn into a true one if the price flow continues to increase or decrease in the same direction. But all divergences seen in the past must have been shown as potential divergences beforehand.
Rsi Length, Rsi Source: Allows you to change settings for RSI values typically embedded within the indicator.
Note: Pivot Source and RSI Source using the same type of candle data ensures that divergences are displayed correctly.
----------------------------------------------
EMA Settings:
The indicator allows you to use 4 different EMA data in addition to Support and Resistance lines, Trend Channels and RSI divergences. By default, 21, 50, 100 and 200 are used. You can change the EMA values and colors in the Settings section, or you can use the show hide options in the Style section.
Attrition Scalper v2.0Green/Red Arrowed Buy/Sell signals are just simple buy sell signals based on SuperTrend, VWAP, Bollinger, Linear Regression
Purple Arrowed Buy/Sell Signals happen when the price/candle cross over or under the yellow outer lines (4.236 fib lines) It's extremely rare and hard for price to stay above these lines therefore we can usually and comfortably buy/sell it, a key information here though when price pumps or dumps super fast and hard to the point of crossing these borders, the trend might also be extremely strong and continous so even if the price temporarily goes back inside the borders as the lines expand over time price can continue riding or crossing these lines back again and continue the uptrend/downtrend, therefore crossing these outer borders doesn't necessarilly and always mean a reversal is due.
When analyzing the instrument you're trading the important factors for support/resistance areas are usually the outer lines like i said previously it's super hard for price to be outside these and will almost always get back inside quickly. The Middle thicker green/red line which is Variable Index Dynamic Average should also be a nice pivot line for major support and resistance . All the other lines are also important dynamic support/resistance lines.
Their Importance Order
1- Outer Yellow Line (4.236 Fibs)
2- Thicker Middle Green/Red Line (VIDYA)
3- Thinner Upper/Lower Green/Red Line (VIDYA +3, VIDYA -3)
4- The Rest Of The Lines (Fib Lines)
You can use this indicator in any market condition in any market to determine key support/resistance levels, use it for mean reversion through price expanding to outside of the most outer line therefore being overbought/oversold basically using the purple buy/sell signals or only follow the normal buy/sell signals or use it in confluence with each other. You can also use this indicator in confluence with your own manual technical analysis or other indicators/strategies you are already using and are comfortable with.
A good part is the support/resistance lines from timeframe to timeframe pictures the whole situation quite well, you can use lower timeframe to find your entry/exit positions and higher timeframe to find your key support/resistance points, they all should be somewhat in confluence from timeframe to timeframe anyways. My recommendation would be to look at 1HR, 4HR and 1D charts for swing trading and 5-15 Min for quick scalping/day trading
You should still probably at least take a look to higher timeframes so that you don't get burned when you realize there is a huge resistance line at price XXXXX on the 4 hour chart but you're expecting it to go above it on the 5 minute chart, it can go above it temporarily but we analyze everything on a closing basis so it most likely won't close above it. Again don't take a position or FOMO when price breaks a support/resistance line, we're looking for a CLOSE above/below them and a retest to see if S/R flip happened would even be better.
Sometimes the most outer line won't be the 4.236 (Yellow) lines as when it gets quite volatile the Thinner Upper/Lower Green/Red Lines (VIDYA +3, VIDYA-3) might cross them to be the most outer line, in this case i have observed that the trend is extremely strong this time price almost always doesn't go above or below the VIDYA line but can stay outside of the Yellow 4.236 Fib line for an extended amount of time (price will still get back inside the channel relatively quickly, just not as fast as the normal condition)
With Proper Risk Management and Discipline this indicator can be of great use to you as it's surprisingly successful especially at mean reversion and pointing out the support/resistance lines, they are so much more successful than your average MA/EMA lines.
Trend/Retracement - ZigZag - New wayZigZag for Trend and Retracements - New way
It's another way to plot ZigZag based on lookback period for trend and % of trend lookback period to plot retracements.
█ OVERVIEW
Plot ZigZag, Trend lines, Retracements, Support levels, Resistance levels
█ Objective:
Draw ZigZag lines along with unbroken support and resistance levels. ZigZag lines are drawn for main trend and the retracements.
Main Trend – This is calculated based on lookback period.
Retracements – Retracements are calculated as 25% of main trend.
Support and Resistance line: The indicator draws 2 types of support and resistance lines
1. Un-broken – Once formed (plotted), these are the support and resistance which are not yet broken
2. Tested – One can also choose to see support and resistance lines which are tested but not broken. Tested support/resistance are those levels which are touched by high/low price but close price has not crossed the level.
█ How main trend point is calculated:
E.g.
Chart timeframe = 15m
Lookback period = 250
Retracement = 25% of main trend ( 25% of 250 = 62 )
A price point on a chart is considered as trend point if distance between current price and previous highest price is 250 candles
A price point is considered as a retracement if distance between current price and previous highest price is 62 candles. Please note retracements are calculated only after finding a main trend point.
█ Input parameters:
Zigzag Parameters
Use predefined Lookback – If checked pre-defined timeframe-based lookback parameters are used.
Trend lookback candles – If ‘Use predefined Lookback’ is unchecked then this value is used as lookback period.
Retracement % of look back candles– If ‘Use predefined Lookback’ is unchecked then this value is used for calculating retracement lookback period
Mark retracements – If unchecked only main trend lines are plotted
Plot support/resistance – To plot support/resistance levels
Show support/resistance tested lines – If checked tested support/resistance liens are shown on the chart
█ TF based Lookback period config (Defaults are set as specified below, One can change these defaults to use different lookback periods)
The defaults set here are used based on the chart timeframe. e.g. if chart timeframe is changed from say 15m to 60m then 60m chart defaults (i.e. trend lookback = 90) are used to plot the trend and the retracements. At the bottom-right of the chart, parameters used for plotting are displayed all the time.
Timeframe in minute – Default = 5m
Trend lookback candles – Default = 375 (~ 5 days of data)

Price Action in action
What?
Price Action in Action is an indicator to help Price Action learners and practitioners to get everything related for Price Action in one place.
Price Action is:
Price + Volume = Action
In this indicator, we have the following features available:
Support/Resistance
Using the RSI with different periods in a multiple of 7 (7, 14, 21, 28), we first determine the overbought (above 70, customizable) and oversold (below 30, customizable) regions. Then we pick up the highest point and lowest point in the RSI values in the overbought and oversold regions, respectively. These are the point, historically supply/demand emerged for surety to push down/up the RSI indicator and the corresponding price. So, these are the most accurate way, we believe, to draw support/resistance (or demand/supply) in the chart. By default, the Support is green color and Resistance is red color. To give a visual representation, we differentiate the different shades of green and red. For example, for Level-1 (i.e. 7 by default) we use the darkest shade (0 transparency) and Level-4 (i.e. 28 by default) we use lighter shade (60 transparency). Note please: you can customize the color of support and resistance lines (say if you want resistance as green and support as red). The respective shades (transparency) will be automatically adjusted accordingly. But those shade (transparency) levels are not customizable, they are fixed (please bear with it for version-1 at least).
Strength of Support/Resistance
In the chart above/below the Resistance / Support lines you can see the tiny labels with some numbers like 1, 2.
We found out how many times a particular support/resistance is appearing across multiple RSI periods. E.g. if price P1 appears 2 times among 4 different RSI periods, the number will be 2 for that calculation, and so on.
There can be multiple presence of these numbers in a support/resistance line (i.e. multiple tiny labels). Something like: 1, 1, 2 (into different candles). This means the same support/resistance is tested so many times in different occasion (means there is a RSI max/min coincides in this level over multiple occasions) at different candles.
This will help you to intuitionally gauge the “strength” of a support/resistance line.
The more the marrier, unworthy to mention.
Candle Stick Patterns
Well: we don’t need to tell anything about the Candlestick. All of you know it better than us. And it’s a time proven, zero-lag mechanism to judge the Price-Action is unfolding in the market. We do not know if there is anything better possible than this time tested patterns to judge the prevailing sentiments of market.
Price-Action does not complete without finding out the Candlestick Patterns correctly.
And in this indicator your will get all of these: Single Candle such as Doji (default off), Marubozu, Spinner, hammers, inverted-hammer etc. ; 2 candles like Tweezer, Inside Candle, Engulfing; 3 candles like morning star/evening star.
In the multi candle patterns (2/3 candles), we are grouping the candles with a dotted rectangle such that it is clear which 2/3 candles are part of the pattern. E.g. Morning Star: 3 candles are grouped in a dotted rectangle and the Morning Star label will come to the latest candle (3rd most – as the pattern is detected reliably only on the completion of the 3rd final candle).
Of course, any program can not eliminate your trained eyes and brain to capture the patterns. But we have provided sufficient knobs to adjust various parameters to tweak the candle-pattern detection. Such as Strict Inside Candle(Harami) Boolean knob where the whole current candle including wicks will be inside the body part of the previous big candle. For non-strict mode, the current candle just inside the previous candle, possibly by wicks.
To make it better usable, for every such knobs (which are not obvious) we have added user-friendly tooltip (just mouse hover the question mark (?) besides the control/switch). There are plenty of it.
Volume
Here we have a rudimentary (yet effective) way to judge the volumes.
We find out the Volume Weighted Moving Average (VMWA) of the 20-period (default, but customizable) and the latest volume. If the latest volume is more than the 20 period vwma, we just add a grey diamond on the top of the candle to denote it’s attracting volumes. Of course, we provide a Weight coefficient (default is set to 1). So if the current bar’s volume on bar’s completion is more than the 20 period volume vmwa times the weigh-cofficient, we mark it with a tiny grey diamond.
Points to be noted:
In all places we mark the indication only on the completion of the bar (technically speaking we have checks, as far as possible, with barstate.isconfirmed). However, if you wish, you can turn it off for Candlestick (as some experts may want to check candlestick on the real time, even before the closing of bars).
In case if you see the chart looks cluttered (because of many information, specially in smaller timeframes like 5 min), there are controls given in the settings to toggle each and every features.
By default, we turn off Doji candles (all 3 types of Doji’s – normal, Gravestone & Dragonfly) as they are mainly indecision. However, you can toggle it to turn it on.
It does not give you any Buy/Sell call. The interpretation it does not have.
Why?
What’s unique in it?
As we already mentioned our intention is to include Price (in forms of Support / Resistance), Volume and Action (sentiments in terms of Candlestick patterns) into a single place. And so far, to the best of our knowledge, we could not come across a single indicator provides all of these.
There were works available to determine the RSI based support / resistance zones. Those are great piece works at that time (lets say 3 years back when PineScript was in earlier versions). To the best of our knowledge those does not cover up finding out the lowest / highest point of RSI and the corresponding price to get the simplistic and distinct support/resistance lines.
We have the intuitive support/resistance strength included which we could not found out in current set of available indicators.
To the best of our knowledge, there seems no indicator can detect 3-candle patterns which are extremely popular to detect trend reversals (such as Morning Star or Evening Star). Moreover for the multi-candle patterns we are grouping the candles part of the pattens (2-candles or 3-candles) using a dotted rectangle such that it’s visually clearly (and a well educative material for Price-Action learners also).
Mentions:
There are many works which inspire us along the way. Honestly: we sometimes forgot which all indicators we experimented with. We are sincerely apologetic in case we forgot to mention. A few note-worthy:
There is an indicator from user “repo32” named as “Candlestick Patterns Identified (updated 3/11/15)”. (We could not be able to contact “repo32”). We are inspired from his work that it’s feasible to detect Candlestick patterns.
There is an awesome work done by “RSI Based Automatic Demand and Supply” by user “shtcoinr”. The idea of consulting multiple RSI levels to find out the demand/supply zone we inspired from him. (We did contact “shtcoinr” and got his kind permission to use the concept.)
We are greatly thankful to these abovementioned wizards for their pioneering a-prior work in this front.
And of course, this TradingView platform to provide this abstraction, facilitates and felicitates collaborative contributions.
Ultimately, what’s for you?
That’s the main question. What’s for you?
Price-action comprises of following 3 tasks (at least):
Draw support/resistance lines in the chart.
Once price reaches at the support/resistance line, you fervently look out the candles’ formation to mentally map to the candle patterns. Your aim is divine: You want to judge if the price-action will continue or take a rejection/reversal.
Then you double-confirm with the volume (in a non-overlaid chart below).
Finally take a trade.
For a price-action newbie or seasoned, expert practitioner, you must be doing all the above tasks regularly and manually, in a mechanical, mundane way. There come the humanly subjectivity & the inevitable emotions . This indicator, being a piece of program/code in PineScript latest version v5 , eliminates (or at least, reduces to a great extend) that subjectivity & emotions out of the way of decision making . Thus resulting better yield.
Of course, you can argue that you draw slanted trend lines also. We recommend an already existing indicator by user LuxAlgo named as “Trendlines with Breaks ”, if you wish so.

Happy trading.

The Relative Moving Average isn’t a well-known moving average. But TradingView uses this average with two popular indicators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Average True Range (ATR)
The weighting factors that the Relative Moving Average uses decrease exponentially. That way recent bars have the highest weight, while earlier bars get smaller weights the older they are.
R-Smart - Relative Strength On observing the market for years I learned that Relative Strength will help us in staying invested in strong bullish stocks (relative to primary indices of your country, in my case it's Nifty 50 for India). Once you identify a strong stock, it's important to know if the stock is trending and is in momentum. To identify, trends and momentum, I used ADX and MACD indicators respectively as part of the R-Smart.
In R-Smart, I used Relative Strength primarily to plot the chart, if the Histogram is positive (greater than 0) then the security is bullish. But then how do we know that it's in trend and having momentum. Well the below color code will help you identify them
1. Histogram in Green : Strong Bullish
2. Histogram in Blue : Weak Bullish
3. Histogram in Orange: Bearish
Apart from the above indicator, I would like to use Super Trend to know the immediate support/resistances on the chart.

Trade Manager (Open Source Version)Hello my young padawans looking for the FORCE to get richer on your next trade
I got pinged at least three times today asking where the hell is the indicator of the day. You asked, I delivered :)
Here's your free open-source Trade Manager Version. My associates might kill me for sharing that one... anyway this is a real GIFT.
I won't share such quality indicators too often for FREE so hope you'll appreciate its value. It can really help with your day to day trading (on top of making your charts looking more awesome)
This is an even better version compared to my previous Trade Manager Trade-Manager . It's basically a standalone version, meaning you'll have to update with 2 lines your own indicator and follow my educational post from yesterday (pasted it below also) to learn how to do it
Please read this educational post I published for you before proceeding further : How-to-connect-your-indicator-with-the-Trade-Manager
From here you normally connected the data source of your own indicator to the Trade Manager. If not, here's a reminder of the article mentionned above
Step 1 - Update your indicator
For the screenshot you see above, I used this indicator : Two-MM-Cross-MACD/ . "But sir are you really advertising your other indicators here ??" ... hmmm.... YES but I gave them for free so ... stop complaining my friend :)
Somewhere in the code you'll have a LONG and a SHORT condition. If not, please go back to study trading for noobs (I'm kidding !!!)
So it should look to something similar
nUP = ma_crossover and macd_crossover
nDN = ma_crossunder and macd_crossunder
What you will need to add at the very end of your script is a Signal plot that will be captured by the Trade Manager. This will give us :
// Signal plot to be used as external
// if crossover, sends 1, otherwise sends -1
Signal = (nUP) ? 1 : (nDN) ? -1 : na
plot(Signal, title="Signal")
The Trade Manager engines expects to receive 1 for a bullishg signal and -1 for bearish .
Step 2 - Add the Trade Manager to your chart and select the right Data Source
I feel the questions coming so I prefer to anticipate :) When you add the Trade Manager to your chart, nothing will be displayed. THIS IS NORMAL because you'll have to select the Data Source to be "Signal"
Remember our Signal variable from the Two MM Cross from before, now we'll capture it and.....drumb rolll...... that's from that moment that your life became even more AWESOME
The Engine will capture the last signal from the MM cross or any indicator actually and will update the Stop Loss, Take Profit levels based on the parameters you set on the Trade Manager
It should work with any indicator as long as you're providing a plot Signal with values 1 and -1 . In any case, you can change the Trade Manager you'll find a better logic for your trading
Now let's cover the different parameters of the tool
It should be straightforward but better to explain everything here
+Label lines : if unchecked, no SL/TPs/... will be displayed
+Show Stop Loss Signal : Will display the stop loss label. You have the choice between three options :
By default, the Stop Loss is set to NONE. You'll have to select a different option to enable the Stop Loss for real
++Percentage : Will set the SL at a percent distance from the price
++Fixed : SL fixed at a static price
++Trailing % : Trailing stop loss based on percentage level
The following is a KEY feature and I got asked for it many times those past two days. I got annoyed of getting the same request so I just did it
++Trailing TP: Will move the Stop Loss if the take profit levels are hit
Example: if TP1 is hit, SL will be moved to breakeven. If TP2 is hit, SL will be moved from TP1 to TP2
+Take Profit 1,2,3 : Visually define the three Take Profit levels. Those are percentage levels .
Meaning if you set TP1 = 2, it will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry signal
Please note that once a Take profit level is reached, it will magically disappear. This is to be expected
I'll share in the future a way more complete version with invalidation, stop loss/take profits based on indicator, take profit based on supports/resistances, ...
I believe is such a great tool because can be connected to any indicator. I confess that I tried it only with a few... if you find any that's not working with the Trade manager, please let me know and I'll have a look
PS
I want to give a HUUUUUUUGE shoutout to the PineCoders community who helped me finishing it
Wishing you all the best and a pleasant experience with my work

TATARI YENTatari's trend strategy:
First analyze weekly and daily looking for supports, resistances, patterns, H&S, and so on, just to have the idea about direction and borders.
If we have a good idea abou the market direction let's go to look for some opportunities in that direction with TATARI.
Time frame 4H: find a signal to open postion, at the same direction of Week and Day.
Time frame 1H: we open the position accordin to the 4H signal.
( regular multi time frame strategy so far).
Let's have a look how TATARI works.
Uptrend starts with blue and green crosses, doesn't matter if green or blu. If the first cross is blue open the position the candle after the green cross. If the first is a green cross open the first candle after the blue cross.
Downtrend starts with blue and red cross, doesn't matter if first blu or red.
Open when the trend starts and use as stop loss the green line for uptrend or the red line for downtrend.
When the silver spots appear there is a supertrend, it's time to move SL to the last swing.
Close the position when a new blue cross appears and the following cross is the other color you used to open the position. ( Usually SL is already hit)
The gray areas are for lateral market, feel free to use stoc. and BB.

Benefits of Horizontal Dashed Lines:
Reduced Visual Noise
Horizontal lines keep your price action clean and easy to read while still providing critical weekly support/resistance levels. The dashed style adds visual interest without being overwhelming.
Focus on Current Weekly Levels
What matters most is where the weekly MAs are NOW relative to price - horizontal lines highlight this instantly without requiring you to trace curved lines backward through history.
Better Price Action Visibility
See candlestick patterns, volume profiles, and support/resistance levels clearly without MA lines crossing through them. Your chart remains uncluttered and analysis-ready.
Quick Reference for Weekly Context
Instantly identify if price is above or below key weekly moving averages without following curved lines across the chart. Perfect for intraday traders who need to respect weekly structure.
Professional Appearance
Clean, minimalist design with dashed lines preferred by institutional traders and technical analysts who value both aesthetics and functionality.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Use Cases:
Day Traders
Monitor higher timeframe weekly levels on intraday charts (5min, 15min, 1hr) to stay aware of major support/resistance zones and trend direction from the weekly perspective.
Swing Traders
Track weekly moving averages as dynamic support/resistance levels for position entries and exits. Weekly levels often act as strong magnets for price action.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Combine with daily or 4-hour charts to see multiple timeframe confluence without cluttering your workspace with overlapping curved lines.
Trend Identification
Quickly identify weekly trend direction and potential reversal zones. When price is above all weekly MAs, the weekly trend is bullish; below all MAs indicates bearish weekly structure.
Clean Workspace Trading
Ideal for price action traders who need clean charts for pattern recognition, order flow analysis, and technical setups without visual interference from traditional moving averages.

Liquidity Heatmap [Eˣ]💧 Liquidity Heatmap - Free Indicator
Overview
The Liquidity Heatmap reveals where stop losses are clustered in the market - the hidden liquidity zones that smart money targets. This indicator automatically identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above price and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below price, showing you exactly where institutional traders are likely to hunt for stops before major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Identifies Liquidity Zones:
• Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) - Stop losses from SHORT positions clustered above price
• Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) - Stop losses from LONG positions clustered below price
• Automatically clusters nearby levels into high-probability zones
• Shows liquidity strength (1-5+) - higher numbers = more stops = bigger target
• Removes swept liquidity in real-time as price takes out stops
Visual Display:
• 🔴 Red Zones Above Price = Buy-Side Liquidity (shorts' stops)
• 🟢 Green Zones Below Price = Sell-Side Liquidity (longs' stops)
• Thicker/Darker Zones = Higher liquidity concentration
• BSL/SSL Labels = Show exact strength count
• Triangle Markers = Liquidity sweep alerts (when price takes stops)
Smart Features:
• Auto-removes old liquidity (customizable lookback period)
• Clusters nearby levels to reduce noise
• Tracks liquidity strength and age
• Updates in real-time as new swing points form
• Alerts when major liquidity zones are swept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Understanding Liquidity Concepts
What is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to clusters of stop loss orders sitting in the market. These stops represent:
• Long traders' stop losses (below support) = Sell-Side Liquidity
• Short traders' stop losses (above resistance) = Buy-Side Liquidity
Why Does This Matter?
• Institutions NEED liquidity to fill large orders
• Price often "sweeps" liquidity zones before reversing
• Major liquidity = major target for smart money
• Understanding liquidity = understanding market maker behavior
The Liquidity Cycle:
1. Retail traders place stops at obvious levels (swing highs/lows)
2. Smart money identifies these clusters
3. Price is pushed to sweep the stops (liquidity grab)
4. Institutions fill their orders with this liquidity
5. Price reverses in the opposite direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Sweep Reversals
Best For: Swing trading, catching reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Identify strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone below price
2. Wait for price to sweep down into the SSL zone
3. Look for rejection/reversal candle pattern (pin bar, engulfing)
4. Enter LONG after sweep and reversal confirmation
5. Stop loss: Below the swept liquidity zone
6. Target: Opposite liquidity zone or key resistance
Why It Works: Smart money sweeps stops to fill buy orders, then pushes price higher
Example:
• SSL zone at $45,000 with strength 3
• Price drops to $44,950, sweeps the SSL
• Strong bullish reversal candle forms
• Enter long at $45,100
• Target: BSL zone at $47,000
Strategy 2: Liquidity-to-Liquidity Runs
Best For: Day trading, scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Entry Setup:
1. Price sweeps Sell-Side Liquidity below and reverses up
2. Identify Buy-Side Liquidity zone above
3. Enter LONG targeting the BSL zone above
4. Exit near/at the BSL zone (don't wait for sweep)
5. Stop loss: Below recent swing low
Why It Works: Price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
Variation - Reverse for Shorts:
• BSL sweep above → Look for SSL zone below
• Enter short targeting lower liquidity
Strategy 3: Liquidity Avoidance (Stop Placement)
Best For: Improving win rate on existing strategies
Timeframes: All
Rules:
1. NEVER place stops exactly at obvious liquidity zones
2. Place stops beyond the liquidity zone with buffer
3. Or place stops before the liquidity zone (tighter, riskier)
4. Monitor liquidity strength - avoid zones with strength 3+
Why It Works: Market makers hunt obvious stop clusters
Example:
• Trading long, swing low at $100 (SSL zone, strength 4)
• Bad: Stop at $99.50 (will get swept)
• Better: Stop at $98.50 (beyond the liquidity)
• Alternative: Stop at $100.50 (tighter, before sweep zone)
Strategy 4: Confluence Trading
Best For: High probability setups
Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Find liquidity zone that aligns with:
• Major support/resistance level
• Fibonacci retracement (0.618, 0.786)
• Trendline
• Round psychological number ($50,000, $2,000, etc)
2. Wait for sweep of this high-confluence zone
3. Enter on reversal with multiple confirmations
4. Larger position size justified by confluence
Why It Works: Multiple factors = institutional interest = higher probability
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Info Panel Guide
Located in the top-right corner, the info panel provides real-time liquidity statistics:
Buy-Side Zones
• Count of active BSL zones above current price
• Higher number = More upside targets for price
Sell-Side Zones
• Count of active SSL zones below current price
• Higher number = More downside targets for price
Total Zones
• Combined count of all active liquidity
• Useful for gauging overall market structure
Nearest BSL
• Distance in % to closest Buy-Side Liquidity above
• Example: +2.5% means BSL is 2.5% above current price
• Quick reference for next upside target
Nearest SSL
• Distance in % to closest Sell-Side Liquidity below
• Example: -1.8% means SSL is 1.8% below current price
• Quick reference for next downside target
Liquidity Bias
• ⬆️ Bullish : More BSL than SSL (upside targets dominate)
• ⬇️ Bearish : More SSL than BSL (downside targets dominate)
• ↔️ Balanced: Equal liquidity on both sides (range-bound)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Understanding Liquidity Strength
What Do The Numbers Mean?
Strength 1 : Single swing point
• Light liquidity, minor target
• Can be ignored in trending markets
• Useful in ranging/choppy conditions
Strength 2-3 : Moderate liquidity cluster
• Multiple nearby swing points merged
• Decent target for intraday moves
• Watch for potential sweeps
Strength 4-5 : Strong liquidity cluster
• Major cluster of stops
• High-probability target for institutions
• Expect reactions when swept
Strength 6+ : Extreme liquidity pool
• Massive stop cluster (rare)
• Critical zone - high probability of sweep
• Often marks major support/resistance
• Ideal for confluence setups
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Alert Setup
This indicator includes 2 powerful alert types:
1. Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps BSL zone above
• Shows potential bullish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes upward continuation after sweep
2. Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps SSL zone below
• Shows potential bearish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes downward continuation after sweep
To Set Up Alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in TradingView
2. Condition: Select "Liquidity Heatmap"
3. Choose alert type: BSL Sweep or SSL Sweep
4. Configure notification method (push, email, webhook)
5. Click "Create"
Pro Tip: Set alerts for both BSL and SSL sweeps to catch opportunities in both directions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for confirmation - Don't enter immediately on sweep, wait for reversal pattern
• Combine with trend - SSL sweeps in uptrends = higher probability longs
• Check multiple timeframes - 1H liquidity + 4H liquidity = strongest zones
• Monitor strength - Focus on zones with strength 3+
• Use proper risk management - Liquidity sweeps can go further than expected
• Watch for re-sweeps - Sometimes liquidity zones get swept multiple times
• Consider volume - High volume sweeps = stronger reversal potential
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't fade strong trends - In strong trends, sweeps often continue rather than reverse
• Don't overtrade - Not every sweep is a tradeable setup
• Don't ignore context - Check broader market conditions and news
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance, and other analysis
• Don't place stops at liquidity - Your stops will be hunted
• Don't expect perfection - Some sweeps fail, some zones never get hit
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5min, 15min (fast moves, frequent sweeps)
• Day Trading: 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Trading: 1H, 4H, Daily (major liquidity zones)
• Position Trading: 4H, Daily, Weekly (institutional liquidity)
🔥 Best Markets:
• Crypto (high volatility, frequent liquidity grabs)
• Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD - liquid pairs)
• Futures (ES, NQ, CL - high liquidity contracts)
• Stocks (large caps with high volume)
⏰ Best Times:
• Market opens (high volatility = liquidity hunting)
• Before/after major news events
• Session overlaps (London/NY for forex)
• First hour and last hour of trading
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Volume Profile VisionVolume Profile Vision - Complete Description
Overview
Volume Profile Vision (VPV) is an advanced volume profile indicator that visualizes where trading activity has occurred at different price levels over a specified time period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show volume over time, this indicator displays volume distribution across price levels, helping traders identify key support/resistance zones, fair value areas, and potential reversal points.
What Makes This Indicator Original
Volume Profile Vision introduces several unique features not found in standard volume profile tools:
Dual-Direction Histogram Display:
Unlike conventional volume profiles that only show bars extending in one direction, VPV displays volume bars extending both left (into historical candles) and right (as a traditional histogram). This bi-directional approach allows traders to see exactly where historical price action intersected with high-volume nodes.
Real-Time Candle Highlighting: The indicator dynamically highlights volume bars that intersect with the current candle's price range, making it immediately obvious which volume levels are currently in play.
Four Professional Color Schemes: Each color scheme uses distinct gradient algorithms and visual encoding systems:
Traffic Light: Uses red (POC), green (VA boundaries), yellow (HVN), with grayscale gradients outside the value area
Aurora Glass: Modern cyan-to-magenta gradient with hot magenta POC highlighting
Obsidian Precision: Professional dark theme with white POC and electric cyan accents
Black Ice: Monochromatic cyan family with graduated intensity
Adaptive Transparency System: Automatically adjusts bar transparency based on position relative to value area, with special handling for each color scheme to maintain visual clarity.
Core Concepts & Calculations
Volume Distribution Analysis
The indicator divides the visible price range into user-defined price levels (default: 80 levels) and calculates the total volume traded at each level by:
Scanning back through the specified lookback period (customizable or visible range)
For each historical bar, determining which price levels the bar's high/low range intersects
Accumulating volume for each intersected price level
Optionally filtering by bullish/bearish volume only
Point of Control (POC)
The POC is the price level with the highest traded volume during the analyzed period. This represents the "fairest" price where most traders agreed on value. The indicator marks this with distinct coloring (red in Traffic Light, magenta in Aurora Glass, white in Obsidian Precision, cyan in Black Ice).
Trading Significance: POC acts as a strong magnet for price - markets tend to return to fair value. When price is away from POC, traders watch for:
Mean reversion opportunities when price is far from POC
Rejection signals when price tests POC from above/below
Breakout confirmation when price breaks through and holds beyond POC
Value Area (VA)
The Value Area encompasses the price range where a specified percentage (default: 68%) of all volume traded. This represents the range of "accepted value" by market participants.
Calculation Method:
Start at the POC (highest volume level)
Expand upward and downward, adding adjacent price levels
Always add the level with higher volume next
Continue until accumulated volume reaches the VA percentage threshold
Value Area High (VAH): Upper boundary of accepted value - acts as resistance
Value Area Low (VAL): Lower boundary of accepted value - acts as support
Trading Significance:
Price spending time inside VA indicates market equilibrium
Breakouts above VAH suggest bullish momentum shift
Breakdowns below VAL suggest bearish momentum shift
Returns to VA boundaries often provide high-probability entry zones
High Volume Nodes (HVN)
Price levels with volume exceeding a threshold percentage (default: 80%) of POC volume. These represent areas of strong agreement and consolidation.
Trading Significance:
HVNs act as strong support/resistance zones
Price tends to consolidate at HVNs before making directional moves
Breaking through an HVN often signals strong momentum
Low Volume Nodes (LVN)
Price levels within the Value Area with volume ≤30% of POC volume. These are zones price moved through quickly with minimal consolidation.
Trading Significance:
LVNs represent areas of rejection - price finds little acceptance
Price tends to move rapidly through LVN zones
Useful for setting stop-losses (below LVN for longs, above for shorts)
Can identify potential gaps or "air pockets" in the market structure
Grayscale POC Detection
A secondary POC detection system identifies the highest volume level outside the Value Area (with a 2-level buffer to avoid confusion). This helps identify significant volume accumulation zones that exist beyond the main value area.
How to Use This Indicator
Setup
Choose Lookback Period:
Enable "Use Visible Range" to analyze only what's on your chart
Or set "Fixed Range Lookback Depth" (default: 200 bars) for consistent analysis
Adjust Profile Resolution:
"Number of Price Levels" (default: 80) - higher = more granular analysis, lower = broader zones
Select Color Scheme:
Traffic Light: Best for clear POC/VA/HVN identification
Aurora Glass: Modern aesthetic for dark charts
Obsidian Precision: Professional trader preference
Black Ice: Minimalist single-color family
Visual Customization
Left Extension: How far back the left-side histogram extends into historical candles (default: 490 bars)
Right Extension: Width of the traditional histogram bars on the right (default: 50 bars)
Right Margin: Space between current price bar and histogram (default: 0 for flush alignment)
Left Profile Gap: Space between left-side histogram and candles (default: 0)
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Value Area Mean Reversion
Wait for price to move outside the Value Area (above VAH or below VAL)
Look for rejection signals (wicks, bearish/bullish candles)
Enter trades toward the POC
Take profits as price returns to POC or opposite VA boundary
Strategy 2: Breakout Confirmation
Identify when price is consolidating within the Value Area
Wait for a strong close above VAH (bullish) or below VAL (bearish)
Enter on the breakout or on first pullback to the VA boundary
Target previous HVNs or swing highs/lows outside the VA
Strategy 3: POC Support/Resistance
Watch for price approaching the POC level
If approaching from below, look for bullish reversal patterns at POC (support)
If approaching from above, look for bearish reversal patterns at POC (resistance)
Trade in the direction of the bounce with stops beyond the POC
Strategy 4: LVN Fast Movement Zones
Identify LVN zones within the Value Area (marked with "LVN" label)
When price enters an LVN, expect rapid movement through the zone
Avoid entering trades within LVNs
Use LVNs as confirmation of directional momentum
Alert System
The indicator includes 7 customizable alert conditions:
POC Touch: Alerts when price comes within 0.5 ATR of POC
VAH/VAL Touch: Alerts at Value Area boundaries
VA Breakout: Alerts on breakouts above VAH or below VAL
HVN Touch: Alerts when price contacts High Volume Nodes
LVN Entry: Alerts when entering Low Volume zones
POC Shift: Alerts when POC moves to a new price level
Reading the Profile
Price Labels (shown on the right side):
POC: Point of Control - highest volume price level
VAH: Value Area High - upper boundary of accepted value
VAL: Value Area Low - lower boundary of accepted value
LVN: Low Volume Node - expect fast movement through this zone
Color Intensity Interpretation:
Brighter colors = higher volume concentration
Dimmer colors = lower volume
Abrupt color changes = transition between volume zones
Gaps in the histogram = price levels with no trading activity
Technical Details
Volume Accumulation Logic:
For each bar in lookback period:
For each price level:
If bar's high/low range intersects price level:
Add bar's volume to that price level's total
Gradient Algorithm:
Traffic Light: Dual-range piecewise gradient (0-50% and 50-100% volume intensity)
Aurora Glass: Linear cyan-to-magenta interpolation
Obsidian Precision: Dark blue gradient with cyan highlights
Black Ice: Three-stage cyan intensity progression
Real-Time Updates:
The profile recalculates on every bar, including real-time tick data, ensuring the volume distribution always reflects current market structure.
Best Practices
Timeframe Selection: Use higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for swing trading, lower timeframes (5min, 15min) for day trading
Combine with Price Action: Volume profile shows WHERE, price action shows WHEN
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Check daily VP for major levels, then drill down to intraday for entries
Volume Type Selection: Use "Bullish" volume in uptrends, "Bearish" in downtrends, or "Both" for complete picture
Adjust VA Percentage: 68% (default) captures one standard deviation; try 70% for tighter or 60% for broader value areas
Performance Notes
Maximum bars back: 5000 (handles deep historical analysis)
Maximum boxes: 500 (handles complex profiles)
Optimized calculation: Only recalculates on last bar for efficiency
Real-time capable: Updates as new ticks arrive
ICT Fair Value Gap Detector [Eˣ]⚡ Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview
The Fair Value Gap Detector automatically identifies price imbalances on your charts - the inefficiencies left behind when price moves too quickly. This indicator reveals where price is likely to return for "rebalancing", based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of market efficiency.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Fair Value Gaps:
• 🟢 Bullish FVG - Gap left below during aggressive upward move
• 🔴 Bearish FVG - Gap left above during aggressive downward move
• Automatically identifies 3-candle price inefficiencies
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Fill Tracking:
• Full Fill - Price completely fills the gap
• 50% Fill - Price fills half the gap (critical level)
• Partial Fill - Price touches gap edge
• Real-time fill percentage tracking
• Auto-removes filled gaps (optional)
Professional Features:
• Active Gap Highlighting - Shows nearest unfilled gap
• Distance Calculator - Displays how far price is from gaps
• Market Bias - Analysis based on gap balance
• Size Filtering - Minimum gap size to avoid noise
• Visual Clarity - Clean boxes with color-coding
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Fair Value Gaps
What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalances or inefficiencies, are zones where price moved so quickly that normal trading didn't occur. They represent:
• Price Imbalance - One-sided aggressive buying or selling
• Unfair Pricing - Some participants didn't get to trade at these levels
• Market Inefficiency - Supply/demand equilibrium was disrupted
• Rebalancing Zones - Price often returns to "fill" these gaps
The ICT Concept:
Markets constantly seek equilibrium (fair value). When price moves too fast:
1. It leaves gaps where normal trading didn't happen
2. These gaps represent unfair/inefficient pricing
3. Market has a tendency to return and "rebalance"
4. Smart money knows this and trades the fills
Why FVGs Work:
• Unfilled Orders - Traders who missed the move have pending orders in the gap
• Algorithmic Trading - Algos programmed to exploit inefficiencies
• Market Psychology - Traders notice gaps and place orders there
• Institutional Behavior - Smart money uses gaps for entries/exits
FVG vs Regular Gaps:
• Regular Gaps - Occur at market open, between daily closes
• Fair Value Gaps - Occur intraday, between 3 consecutive candles
• FVGs happen more frequently and on all timeframes
• FVGs are more tradeable for intraday/swing traders
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bullish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the high reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bullish candle (aggressive buying)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's LOW is above Candle 1's HIGH = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 3: Low at $105 ──────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bullish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bullish │
│
Candle 1: High at $100 ──────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price jumped from $100 to $105+ so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $100-$105 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as support
Trading Bullish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace down into the bullish FVG (green box)
• Look for rejection/bounce from the gap zone
• Enter long when price respects the FVG as support
• Stop loss: Below the FVG
• Target: Previous high or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches bottom of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bullish FVG forms: $50,000 - $50,500 (500 point gap)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops to $50,250 (50% of gap filled)
• Bullish reversal candle appears
• Enter long at $50,500, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 Bearish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bearish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the low reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bearish candle (aggressive selling)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's HIGH is below Candle 1's LOW = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 1: Low at $100 ───────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bearish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bearish │
│
Candle 3: High at $95 ───────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price dropped from $100 to $95 so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $95-$100 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as resistance
Trading Bearish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace up into the bearish FVG (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal from the gap zone
• Enter short when price respects the FVG as resistance
• Stop loss: Above the FVG
• Target: Previous low or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches top of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bearish FVG forms: $48,000 - $48,500 (500 point gap)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for 50% fill - Middle of gap has highest win rate (65-70%)
• Use confirmation - Don't trade just because price touched gap
• Combine with structure - FVG + support/resistance = high probability
• Trade first fill - Unfilled gaps have better success rate than refilled
• Respect full fills - Once fully filled, gap is less reliable
• Use multiple timeframes - HTF FVGs are stronger than LTF
• Check session timing - FVGs work best during London/NY sessions
• Follow the bias - More bullish FVGs = favor longs
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly fade gaps - Wait for price action confirmation
• Don't ignore momentum - Strong trends can blow through FVGs
• Don't trade every gap - Quality over quantity
• Don't assume all gaps fill - About 70-80% fill, 20-30% don't
• Don't use tight stops - Allow room for wick into gap
• Don't overtrade - Wait for confluence and confirmation
• Don't fight trends - Best FVG trades are with higher TF trend
• Don't ignore fill percentage - 50% is often the sweet spot
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (many gaps, quick fills)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (larger, more reliable gaps)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (major imbalances)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: BTC, ETH, ES, NQ, Forex majors (clean price action)
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Best Markets: Trending markets with clear swings
⏰ Best Times for FVG Trading:
• London Session: High volume = reliable gap fills
• NY Session: Strong moves create quality gaps
• London-NY Overlap: Best time for gap creation and fills
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London

🎓 Advanced FVG Concepts
FVG Mitigation Levels
Understanding fill percentages:
• 0-25% Fill: Gap barely touched, often continues without fill
• 25-50% Fill: Partial rebalancing, may reverse here
• 50% Fill: CRITICAL LEVEL - Highest probability reversal zone
• 50-75% Fill: Deep rebalancing, strong reversal likely
• 75-100% Fill: Full rebalancing, gap's purpose fulfilled
Why 50% Matters: Market seeks equilibrium, and 50% represents perfect balance
FVG Inversions
When price breaks through a gap completely:
• Bullish FVG that's broken becomes bearish (support → resistance)
• Bearish FVG that's broken becomes bullish (resistance → support)
• Inverted gaps are weaker than fresh gaps
• Trading: Can fade the inverted gap but with caution
FVG Confluence Zones
Multiple FVGs at similar level:
• Creates "super gap" or confluence zone
• Much higher probability of reaction
• Wider zone for entries (more room for stops)
• Often aligns with other institutional concepts
FVG + Order Block Combo
When FVG overlaps with Order Block:
• Double institutional concept
• Extremely high probability setup (75-85% win rate)
• Price drawn to fill gap AND test order block
• Use tight stops, generous targets (3-5R possible)
Nested FVGs (Multi-Timeframe)
Small FVG inside larger FVG:
• Daily FVG contains 4H FVG contains 1H FVG
• Trade the smallest FVG in direction of larger ones
• Highest probability when all aligned
• Progressive targets: Fill small → medium → large gaps
FVG Exhaustion
When price creates multiple FVGs in same direction:
• Indicates strong momentum/impulsive move
• Each gap represents acceleration
• Last gap often signals exhaustion
• Watch for reversal after filling final gap

📈 Common FVG Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Rebalance
• FVG forms during strong move
• Price continues 100+ pips
• Clean return to 50% of gap
• Immediate reversal
• Textbook setup, 70%+ win rate
Pattern 2: The Double Fill
• Price partially fills gap (25%)
• Weak reaction, continues
• Returns again for deeper fill (75%)
• Strong reversal on second fill
• Second fill often better entry
Pattern 3: The Blow-Through
• Price approaches gap
• Completely ignores it, no reaction
• Keeps going in same direction
• Sign of very strong momentum
Pattern 4: The Magnet Effect
• Price slowly grinds toward gap
• Accelerates as it gets close
• Quickly fills and reverses
• Common in ranging markets
Pattern 5: The False Fill
• Price wicks into gap briefly
• Immediately reverses without filling
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Gap remains unfilled
• Often precedes strong move

📈 FVG Statistics & Probabilities
Based on ICT concepts and trader observations:
Gap Fill Rates:
• 70-80% of FVGs get filled eventually
• 60-70% show some reaction when filled
• 50% fill level has ~65% reversal rate
• Full fills have ~55% reversal rate
Timeframe Reliability:
• Daily FVGs: ~75-85% fill rate, strongest reactions
• 4H FVGs: ~70-80% fill rate, strong reactions
• 1H FVGs: ~65-75% fill rate, good reactions
• 15min FVGs: ~60-70% fill rate, moderate reactions
• 5min FVGs: ~55-65% fill rate, weaker reactions
Best Practices:
• First touch of gap = 65-70% win rate
• 50% fill = 65% win rate
• FVG + Order Block = 75-85% win rate
• Multi-timeframe aligned FVG = 70-80% win rate
• FVG in trending market = 60-70% win rate
Common Failures:
• Strong momentum blows through gaps (20-30% of time)
• Gaps in low-volume periods less reliable
• Very small gaps (<0.05%) often ignored
• Counter-trend gaps have lower success rate
