Frozen Bias Zones – Sentiment Lock-insOverview
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator visualizes market sentiment lock-ins using a combination of RSI, MACD, and OBV. It creates "bias zones" that indicate whether the market is in a sustained bullish or bearish phase. These zones are then highlighted on the chart, helping traders spot when the market is locked in a bias. The script also detects breakout events from these zones and marks them with clear labels for easier decision-making.
Features
Multi-Indicator Sentiment Analysis: Combines RSI, MACD, and OBV to detect synchronized bullish or bearish sentiment.
Frozen Bias Zones: Identifies and visually represents zones where the market has remained in a particular sentiment (bullish or bearish) for a defined period.
Breakout Alerts: Displays labels to indicate when the price breaks out of the established bias zone.
Customizable Inputs: Adjust the zone duration, RSI, MACD, and breakout label visibility.
Input Parameters
Bias Duration (biasLength)
The minimum number of candles the market must stay in a specific sentiment to consider it a "Frozen Bias Zone".
Default: 5 candles.
RSI Period (rsiPeriod)
Period for the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculation.
Default: 14 periods.
MACD Settings
MACD Fast (macdFast): The fast-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 12.
MACD Slow (macdSlow): The slow-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 26.
MACD Signal (macdSig): The signal line period for MACD.
Default: 9.
Show Break Label (showBreakLabel)
Toggle to show labels when the price breaks out of the bias zone.
Default: True (shows label).
Bias Zone Colors
Bullish Bias Color (bullColor): The color for bullish zones (light green).
Bearish Bias Color (bearColor): The color for bearish zones (light red).
How It Works
This indicator analyzes three key market metrics to determine whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI > 50 indicates a bullish phase, while RSI < 50 indicates a bearish phase.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Measures the relationship between two moving averages of the price. A positive MACD histogram indicates bullish momentum, while a negative histogram indicates bearish momentum.
OBV (On-Balance Volume)
Uses volume flow to determine if a trend is likely to continue. A rising OBV indicates bullish accumulation, while a falling OBV indicates bearish distribution.
Bias Zone Detection
The market sentiment is considered bullish if all three indicators (RSI, MACD, and OBV) are bullish, and bearish if all three indicators are bearish.
Bullish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bullish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
Bearish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bearish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
These bias zones are visually represented on the chart as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Breakout Detection
The script automatically detects when the market exits a bias zone. If the price moves outside the bounds of the established zone (either up or down), the script will display one of the following labels:
Bias Break (Up): Indicates that the price has broken upwards out of the zone (with a green label).
Bias Break (Down): Indicates that the price has broken downwards out of the zone (with a red label).
These labels help traders easily identify potential breakout points.
Example Use Case
Bullish Market Conditions: If the RSI is above 50, the MACD histogram is positive, and OBV is increasing, the script will highlight a green bias zone. Traders can watch for potential bullish breakouts or trend continuation after the zone ends.
Bearish Market Conditions: If the RSI is below 50, the MACD histogram is negative, and OBV is decreasing, the script will highlight a red bias zone. Traders can look for potential bearish breakouts when the zone ends.
Conclusion
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to visualize prolonged market sentiment, whether bullish or bearish. By combining RSI, MACD, and OBV, it helps traders spot when the market is "locked in" to a bias. The breakout labels make it easier to take action when the price moves outside of the established zone, potentially signaling the start of a new trend.

Support & Resistance ZonesTitle: A Comprehensive Guide to the Support & Resistance Zones Indicator
Introduction
In the world of technical analysis, the Support & Resistance Zones indicator plays a crucial role in identifying potential trading opportunities. These zones are essential for traders looking to capitalize on bounces or break and retests. In this article, we will delve into the specifics of the Support & Resistance Zones indicator, outlining how it works, how it finds and marks zones, and the various options available for traders.
What the indicator is about
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator, developed by @HarryCTC, is a powerful tool for detecting areas of potential price reversal or consolidation in a financial market. These zones are significant as they can act as a guide for traders to make informed decisions on entering or exiting positions. Specifically, the indicator helps identify:
1. Support Zones: Areas where the price has a tendency to bounce back up after falling, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
2. Resistance Zones: Areas where the price has a tendency to reverse after rising, indicating a potential selling opportunity.
How the indicator finds its zones
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator utilizes pivot points to identify potential support and resistance levels. By analyzing the fractal structure of the price chart, the indicator identifies key turning points, known as bull and bear fractals. The bull fractal is a high pivot point, while the bear fractal is a low pivot point.
The fractal structure is determined by the 'Switch Zone Period' input, which can be adjusted to suit the trader's preferences. A higher value will result in fewer zones being identified, while a lower value will result in more zones.
How it marks zones and why it marks zones
The indicator marks the support and resistance zones by creating rectangular boxes around the identified fractal points. The zones are extended horizontally from the fractal point, allowing traders to visualize the potential areas of price reversal.
The zones are marked for the following reasons:
1. To provide a clear visual representation of potential support and resistance levels.
2. To help traders identify potential entry and exit points based on the price's reaction to these zones.
3. To serve as a reference for stop-loss and take-profit levels when planning trades.
The indicator's for traders trading bounces or break and retests
Traders who focus on trading bounces or break and retests can benefit immensely from the Support & Resistance Zones indicator. By providing a visual representation of key support and resistance levels, the indicator enables traders to:
1. Identify potential buying opportunities at support zones where the price is likely to bounce back up.
2. Identify potential selling opportunities at resistance zones where the price is likely to reverse after rising.
3. Make informed decisions on stop-loss and take-profit levels based on the price's proximity to support and resistance zones.
4. Monitor the market for potential breakouts or breakdowns when the price breaches these zones.
Indicator options
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator offers several customizable options to suit the trader's preferences. These options include:
1. Switch Zone Period: Adjusts the number of periods used to calculate the fractal structure, influencing the number of identified zones.
2. No. of Displayed Zones: Determines the maximum number of zones displayed on the chart, ranging from 1 to 8.
3. Zone Extension: Adjusts the horizontal extension of the support and resistance zones.
4. Resistance Zone Color: Customizes the color of the resistance zone boxes.
5. Support Zone Color: Customizes the color of the support zone boxes.
6. Zone Border Color: Customizes the color of the zone box borders.
Conclusion
The Support & Resistance Zones indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to identify potential trading opportunities based on the price's interaction with support and resistance levels. By providing a clear visual representation of these zones, the
indicator allows traders to make informed decisions on entry and exit points, stop-loss, and take-profit levels. With customizable options, the indicator can be tailored to suit individual trading preferences and strategies.
Fundur - Easy ZonesFundur Easy Zones Trading Indicator
The Fundur Easy Zones trading indicator is designed to simplify market analysis by visually marking critical trading zones. This tool helps traders identify optimal buy and sell areas based on historical price action, making it easier to make informed trading decisions.
Calculation Methodology
The Easy Zones indicator employs pivot point calculations combined with price action analysis and the Average True Range (ATR) to determine key trading zones. These zones are calculated by analyzing market volatility and price movements within each timeframe, allowing the identification of significant discount and premium levels.
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot points based on the average of high, low, and close prices from previous periods. These pivot points serve as the foundational levels from which discount and premium zones are derived.
Price Action Analysis: Historical price data is scrutinized to identify patterns and behaviors that signify potential reversal points. This analysis helps in pinpointing zones where the market is likely to experience significant support (discount) or resistance (premium).
Average True Range (ATR): ATR is used to measure market volatility. By incorporating ATR into the calculations, the indicator adjusts the zone boundaries to reflect current market conditions, ensuring that the zones remain relevant and accurate. Higher ATR values indicate greater volatility and wider zones, while lower ATR values result in narrower zones.
Discount and Premium Levels: Based on the pivot points and ATR, the indicator calculates various tiers of discount and premium levels. These tiers (D1, D2, D3 for discounts and P1, P2, P3 for premiums) represent increasing levels of price deviation from the mean, providing traders with clear entry and exit points.
Features Overview
Zones Settings:
Zones History Length: Adjust the number of historical zones displayed on the chart to analyze past price behavior.
Levels Line Width: Customize the thickness of the zone lines for better visibility.
Structure Settings:
Show Fair Value: Display the fair value zone, providing a visual reference for equilibrium price levels. The fair value is calculated based on the median price over the selected period.
DP (Discount and Premium) Settings:
Enable Discount and Premium Levels: Activate the display of critical buy (discount) and sell (premium) zones. These zones are determined using price deviation analysis from the mean, identifying significant discount (support) and premium (resistance) levels.
Tiered Levels: Visualize up to three levels of discount and premium zones, each with specific target prices (TP1, TP2, TP3), representing different levels of price deviation significance.
Highlight Buy and Sell Zones:
Enable Background: Highlight the background of buy and sell zones for enhanced clarity.
Label Settings:
Enable All Labels: Ensure all labels are visible for quick reference.
Show Descriptive Title: Display titles for each zone, making it easier to understand the context.

Symbols Settings:
Fair Value, Premium, and Discount Indicators: Customize symbols to represent gaining or losing fair value, premium, and discount levels, enhancing visual cues for market sentiment.
How to Use the Easy Zones Indicator
Identifying Entry Points:
Use the Discount Zones to identify optimal buy areas. The levels (D1, D2, D3) represent increasing levels of discount, with D1 being the least discounted and D3 the most.
Place buy orders at or near these zones to take advantage of potential price reversals.
Identifying Exit Points:
Use the Premium Zones to identify optimal sell areas. The levels (P1, P2, P3) represent increasing levels of premium, with P1 being the least and P3 the highest.
Place sell orders at or near these zones to maximize profits on upward price movements.
Using Fair Value:
The Fair Value Zone provides a balanced price level where the market is likely to return. Use this as a reference point for setting realistic entry and exit targets.
Strategic Planning:
Combine Discount and Premium Zones with the Fair Value Zone to create a strategic trading plan.
Monitor the zones for price reactions and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Best Practices
Historical Analysis:
Regularly review historical price actions within the marked zones to understand market behavior.
Customization:
Adjust the settings to suit your trading style and market conditions. Experiment with different zone lengths and line widths for optimal clarity.
Risk Management:
Always use stop-loss orders in conjunction with the identified zones to manage risk effectively.
By integrating the Fundur Easy Zones indicator into your trading strategy, you can enhance your market analysis, make more informed decisions, and ultimately improve your trading performance.
Moving Average Zone Indicator (MAZI) - Complete!Now with adjustable settings!
Description:
The MAZI (Moving Average Zone Indicator) is a slow updating moving average calculation of key high and low points in the market, which is a unique approach to sampling moving averages.
The indicator tracks only the key candles that provide good information about price movement, which distinguishes it from other moving average indicators that record a new data point with every bar that prints.
The length of the MAZI is determined by the number of key price points to reference in the average equation, not the number of candles to look at.
We have included our very own unique addition besides the ability to adjust the settings which is called: Standard Deviation Zones
Standard Deviation Zones:
A standard deviation takes a set of values and tells you with a certain level of confidence that with those data points where a potential next data point could land.
When we take our key pivot high and key pivot low points and calculate standard deviations away from them.
We can more confidently predict where the next turn around will be.
Of course the market is always changing and this is not a sure thing but it will still help us get an idea of what places for the next pivot is reasonable.
At the same time if the price breaks above the top standard deviation lines and below the bottom ones it’s a clear sign of a significant move or change in the market
The MAZI band uses specific candle conditions to sample the highs and lows of specific candles to calculate the top and bottom moving averages.
If the close of a candle is lower than the close of the previous two candles, the high of the previous candle is recorded as a potential pivot value.
If the close of a candle is higher than the close of the previous two candles, the low of the previous candle is recorded as a potential pivot value.
These pivot values are adjustable!
The upper and lower bounds of the moving average zone are calculated as one and two standard deviations away from the moving averages, respectively.
The MAZI provides a unique perspective on price movement that can help traders identify key zones of support and resistance.
The MAZI’s equation gives traders 5 crucial points of interest: the direction of the zone, the top of the zone, the middle of the zone, the bottom of the zone, and the height of the zone.
How to use each point of interest
The Direction:
Because we don’t use every candle for input into our calculations, the direction of the indicator will not change with insignificant moves in the markets allowing you to catch when something is a pull back vs when it is a real direction change.
We have also included 3 easy to read colors allowing you to gauge when direction is going down, flat, or up, by alternating the color of the zone between red, white, and green respectively.
The Top of the Zone:
The top of the zone represents where price would be expected to not go over given the length of the bars being calculated.
So this tells you that if the zone is red and the highs are not breaking over the top of the zone, the market is behaving as expected and it should continue down.
On the other hand, if price does break over the top of the zone it signifies stronger than expected buying power and price movement.
The strongest indication of strong upward movement is when the top of the zone becomes an area of price support.
So when you see a candle come down from above the zone and turn around near the top of the zone there is likely a strong upward move coming.
Unless there is a very strong trend it is best to only take this trade the first time price breaks the top side and forms support.
On a range day this is not likely to happen multiple times in a row without price testing the bottom side in between.
The Middle of the Zone:
The middle of the zone is used as a general no trade zone.
Because price is inbetween where the expected high and low of price should be there is no good indicator of which way price will break out.
That does not mean you cannot find worthwhile patterns in the middle of the zone but as a general rule and a very good rule for beginner traders is to avoid entering a trade inside the zone all together.
The Bottom of the Zone:
The bottom of the zone is used similarly to the top of the zone.
If the zone is green and lows are not going below the bottom of the zone the shows you that sellers are not breaking below the expected price and therefore you can expect the price to continue moving up.
On the other hand if price breaks below the low part of the zone then it shows you that sell’s have pushed price below the expected low and therefore is currently under strong selling pressure.
The strongest signal for a big downward move is when the low of the zone (the expected bottom of where price should be given the length of the indicator) turns into a resistance area for price.
When a candle comes up from underneath the zone and fails to break into the zone and starts to drop again, that is the best signal for a big downward move.
Unless there is a very strong trend it is best to only take this trade the first time price breaks the bottom side and forms resistance.
On a range day this is not likely to happen multiple times in a row without price testing the top side in between.
The Size of the Zone:
The size of the zone is very important to keep in mind when gauging profit targets and stop loss levels.
When the market is forming trending patterns the height of the zone will grow.
When the market is showing signs of ranging it will start to shrink.
In other words the smaller the zone the smaller your profit target should be (and the tighter stop you should have).
A zone with a large height shows that we have much larger moves requiring wider stops and its more likely to hit larger profit targets.
High Volume Zones with Signals – HVZ█ OVERVIEW
"High Volume Zones with Signals – HVZ" is a technical analysis indicator that identifies High Volume Zones (HVZ) on the chart and draws them as fully customizable boxes. Perfect for traders using price action, ICT, and Smart Money Concepts. The indicator highlights key volume-based support/resistance levels, detects potential consolidation zones (very large candles), and generates precise breakout and exit signals. Flexible volume filters, ATR filter, and visual styling options ensure a clean and highly effective chart.
█ CONCEPTS
The indicator detects candles with volume significantly above the average (default ≥ 2× SMA of volume over 20 periods). Such candles often signal institutional activity and create strong supply/demand zones.
The ATR filter additionally identifies very large candles – frequently a sign of market capitulation (panic buying/selling). Within the range of such a candle, prolonged consolidation often occurs, especially on higher timeframes (e.g., 4H and above).
Why are HVZ important? High-volume zones are areas where the market has left a large number of orders – institutions return there to “refresh” liquidity before the next move. A breakout against the zone’s character triggers a Break signal:
- Bullish HVZ broken downward (close below the lower boundary) → Break Down (sell),
- Bearish HVZ broken upward (close above the upper boundary) → Break Up (buy).
Note: The indicator requires real exchange volume – it will not work correctly on instruments without reported volume (e.g., certain CFDs or forex).
█ FEATURES
- HVZ Detection: Automatic identification of high-volume zones with Volume SMA Length and Volume Multiplier filters; historical initialization up to 500 candles back.
- ATR Filter: Optional detection of very large candles (potential consolidation/capitulation) using - ATR Length and ATR Multiplier; three action modes:
Skip Zone – large candle creates no zone,
Separate Color – zone is drawn in a distinct style (gray by default),
Normal Zone – treated like a regular HVZ.
- Gray zones (large candles, Separate Color): generate exactly the same Break signals as regular zones – based solely on the original candle direction (bullish → Break Down on lower break, bearish → Break Up on upper break). Gray color is only a visual marker for potential consolidation/capitulation zones.
- Customizable Boxes: Separate styles for bullish and bearish zones (border color, background gradient, line thickness and style); adjustable background and 50 % midline transparency.
- Break & Exit Signals:
Break Up/Down – green/red triangle after a candle closes outside the zone (zone disappears, triangle remains as a trace).
Exit Up/Down – green/red circle when price leaves the zone without a full breakout.
Signal Type option: Break, Exit, or Both.
- Midline: Automatic dashed line at the 50 % zone level with independent transparency control.
- Chart Cleanup: Automatic removal of inactive zones older than 500 candles (max_boxes_count=500).
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for Break Up and Break Down with clear messages.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Paste the script in Pine Editor or find it in TradingView’s indicator library.
Configure Settings:
- Volume Filter: Volume SMA Length (default 20) and Volume Multiplier (default 2.0) – higher multiplier = fewer but stronger zones.
- ATR Filter: Enable/disable, set ATR Length (14) and ATR Multiplier (3.5); choose action for very large candles (Skip Zone / Separate Color / Normal Zone).
- Box Style: Background transparency (90) and midline transparency (70).
- Bull/Bear Box Style: Border and gradient colors, line thickness (1-5).
- ATR Style: Separate colors for large-candle zones (gray by default).
- Signal Settings: Choose Signal Type (Break/Exit/Both) and signal colors.
Signal Interpretation:
- Break Up (green triangle below bar): Bearish HVZ broken upward → buy signal, continuation of uptrend.
- Break Down (red triangle above bar): Bullish HVZ broken downward → sell signal, continuation of downtrend.
- Exit Up/Down (circles): Price leaves zone without breakout – may signal end of correction or reversal setup.
- HVZ Zones: Price often returns to high-volume zones to clear orders. An unfilled zone remains a price magnet.
- 50 % Level (midline): Ideal target for partial take-profit or reaction point inside the zone.
Combine signals with other tools (e.g., RSI, MACD, higher timeframes) for higher confidence.
█ APPLICATIONS
- Price Action & ICT: HVZ act as dynamic S/R; in an uptrend look for buys after breaking a bearish HVZ, in a downtrend look for sells after breaking a bullish HVZ. If you trade retests instead of breakouts, increase Volume Multiplier to 2.5-3.0 – fewer zones but much stronger. Note that after breaking a very strong zone, price often pulls back deeply before continuing.
- Breakout Strategies: For maximum Break signals, lower Volume Multiplier to 1.5-1.8 – gives many high-quality entries in trending markets. Always trade in the direction of the prevailing trend (e.g., only longs in uptrends). Enter after a Break signal with confirmation from volume or momentum (MACD above zero, RSI >50 for longs, <50 for shorts).
█ NOTES
- The indicator requires real exchange volume – it will not function properly on instruments without reported volume (e.g., certain CFDs, forex).
- Always confirm signals with additional context (market structure, higher timeframe).
Quantura - Supply & Demand Zone DetectionIntroduction
“Quantura – Supply & Demand Zone Detection” is an advanced indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize institutional supply and demand zones, as well as breaker blocks, directly on the chart. The tool helps traders identify key areas of market imbalance and potential reversal or continuation zones, based on price structure, volume, and ATR dynamics.
Originality & Value
This indicator provides a unique and adaptive method of zone detection that goes beyond simple pivot or candle-based logic. It merges multiple layers of confirmation—volume sensitivity, ATR filters, and swing structure—while dynamically tracking how zones evolve as the market progresses. Unlike traditional supply and demand indicators, this script also detects and plots Breaker Zones when previous imbalances are violated, giving traders an extra layer of market context.
The key values of this tool include:
Automated detection of high-probability supply and demand zones.
Integration of both volume and ATR filters for precision and adaptability.
Dynamic zone merging and updating based on price evolution.
Identification of breaker blocks (invalidated zones) to visualize market structure shifts.
Optional bullish and bearish trade signals when zones are retested.
Clear, visually optimized plotting for efficient chart interpretation.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator continuously scans recent price data for swing highs/lows and combines them with optional volume and ATR conditions to validate potential zones.
Demand Zones are formed when price action indicates accumulation or a strong bullish rejection from a low area.
Supply Zones are created when distribution or strong bearish rejection occurs near local highs.
Breaker Blocks appear when existing zones are invalidated by price, helping traders visualize potential market structure shifts.
Bullish and bearish signals appear when price re-enters an active zone or breaks through a breaker block.
Parameters & Customization
Demand Zones / Supply Zones: Enable or disable each individually.
Breaker Zones: Activate breaker block detection for invalidated zones.
Volume Filter: Optional filter to only confirm zones when volume exceeds its long-term average by a user-defined multiplier.
ATR Filter: Optional filter for volatility confirmation, ensuring zones form under strong momentum conditions.
Swing Length: Controls the number of bars used to detect structural pivots.
Sensitivity Controls: Adjustable ATR and volume multipliers to fine-tune detection responsiveness.
Signals: Toggle for on-chart bullish (▲) and bearish (▼) signal plotting when price interacts with zones.
Color Customization: User-defined bullish and bearish colors for both standard and breaker zones.
Core Calculations
Zones are detected using pivot highs and lows with a defined lookback and lookahead period.
Additional filters apply if ATR and volume are enabled, requiring conditions like “ATR > average * multiplier” and “Volume > average * multiplier.”
Detected zones are merged if overlapping, keeping the chart clean and logical.
When price breaks through a zone, the original box is closed, and a new breaker zone is plotted automatically.
Bullish and bearish markers appear when zones are retested from the opposite side.
Visualization & Display
Demand zones are shaded in semi-transparent bullish color (default: blue).
Supply zones are shaded in semi-transparent bearish color (default: red).
Breaker zones appear when previous imbalances are broken, helping to spot structural shifts.
Optional arrows (▲ / ▼) indicate potential buy or sell reactions on zone interaction.
Use Cases
Identify institutional areas of accumulation (demand) or distribution (supply).
Detect potential breakout traps and market structure shifts using breaker zones.
Combine with other tools such as volume profile, EMA, or liquidity indicators for deeper confirmation.
Observe retests and reactions of zones to anticipate possible reversals or continuations.
Apply multi-timeframe analysis to align higher timeframe zones with lower timeframe entries.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights structural imbalances only.
Performance depends on chosen swing length and sensitivity—users should optimize parameters for each market.
Works best in volatile markets where supply and demand imbalances are clearly expressed.
Should be used as part of a broader trading framework, not as a standalone signal generator.
Markets & Timeframes
The “Quantura – Supply & Demand Zone Detection” indicator is suitable for all asset classes including cryptocurrencies, Forex, indices, commodities, and equities. It performs reliably across multiple timeframes, from intraday scalping to higher timeframe swing analysis.

SMC Liquidity ZonesThis script implements a "Smart Money Concept (SMC) Liquidity Zones" indicator in Pine Script™ for TradingView. It helps identify key liquidity zones, detect potential order blocks, and highlight market structure breaks. The script is designed for traders who use liquidity concepts and order blocks to make informed trading decisions based on price action.
1. Indicator Overview:
The "SMC Liquidity Zones" indicator plots areas of high and low liquidity and detects potential order blocks after price breaks these zones. It also highlights market structure shifts when price moves past the liquidity zones, allowing traders to identify potential areas of price reversal or continuation.
2. Key Features:
Liquidity Zones:
Liquidity zones are regions where price is likely to experience strong reactions due to resting orders (buy or sell).
The script identifies these zones by looking for pivot highs and pivot lows using a customizable lookback period.
High Liquidity Zone: Found at pivot highs, indicating a potential zone of sell-side liquidity (where sellers may overwhelm buyers).
Low Liquidity Zone: Found at pivot lows, indicating a potential buy-side liquidity zone (where buyers may absorb selling pressure).
Order Blocks Detection:
After a liquidity zone is broken, the script marks an order block.
Order Block: An area where institutional traders (smart money) might have placed large orders, and price is expected to return to this area for liquidity.
When the price closes above the high liquidity zone, the previous high is assumed to form the order block high, while the closing price forms the order block low.
Similarly, when price closes below the low liquidity zone, the previous low is assumed to form the order block low, and the closing price forms the order block high.
Market Structure Breaks:
Bullish Market Structure Break: Occurs when price closes above the high liquidity zone, potentially signaling an upward trend.
Bearish Market Structure Break: Occurs when price closes below the low liquidity zone, signaling a potential downward trend.
The script highlights these breaks by changing the chart’s background color to green for bullish structure and red for bearish structure.
Customizable Settings:
Pivot Lookback Period: You can set the lookback period to adjust how the indicator identifies pivot highs and lows.
Visibility of Liquidity Zones and Order Blocks: The script provides options to toggle the display of liquidity zones and order blocks on or off, allowing traders to customize the chart view.
3. Code Structure:
Liquidity Zones Identification:
The script uses the ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions to detect pivot points over a customizable lookback period.
These pivots mark significant areas of price where liquidity might rest, and the zones are displayed using dashed lines—red for high liquidity and green for low liquidity.
Order Block Logic:
When price breaks through a liquidity zone (either above or below), the script marks an order block. This block is a potential area where price could return, creating opportunities for entries or exits.
The order block is visualized as a blue box on the chart, indicating areas where smart money may have positioned their orders.
Market Structure Break Highlights:
The background color changes based on whether the market has broken into a bullish or bearish structure:
Bullish Market Structure: Green background.
Bearish Market Structure: Red background.
This visual cue helps traders quickly assess market sentiment and potential future price direction.
4. Use Case:
This indicator is particularly suited for traders following Smart Money Concepts (SMC), liquidity-based trading, or order block strategies. It helps them:
Identify potential price reaction zones (liquidity zones).
Spot order blocks, which are areas where institutional traders are likely to have placed large orders.
Recognize market structure shifts, signaling potential trend reversals or continuations.
Highlight trading opportunities based on liquidity breaks and market structure changes.
Support and Resistance Zones (MTF)Support and Resistance Zones (MTF) is a multi-timeframe indicator that identifies support and resistance zones and is highly customizable for precise market analysis. Users can adjust various inputs to adapt the zones to price action, highlighting the most significant and probable zones.
█ USAGE & KEY FEAUTURES
1. Look Back Bars: This setting defines the maximum number of bars that can display a zone, removing old ones that are no longer significant. For example, in the 4-hour FX:GBPUSD chart below, only zones from the last 1000 bars are plotted. This helps reduce noise and eliminate unnecessary zones that could lead to incorrect market analysis.
2. Ranging Periods: On lower timeframes, such as a 1-minute chart, overplotting can become more problematic. As shown in the image below, there are many insignificant zones when the market trends upwards. In such cases, retaining zones only where the market is ranging helps identify potential reversal points and entry opportunities.
By focusing on the last 400 bars in a ranging phase, the market structure and key support and resistance areas become clearer, aiding in potential trade setups. Additionally, the " Plot Zone Touches " feature shows where and how many times each zone has been touched, emphasizing zones with multiple price respects.
In fact, users can remove zones of a specific length that have fewer touches than a set amount (" Minimum Zone Touches "). This feature helps eliminate unnecessary zones from the chart.
3. Plotting Zone Breakouts: Zones can be plotted with breakouts labels and even deleted if broken more than a specified number of times enabling the " Cut On Breakouts " feature. For example, zones broken more than two times and by more than two consecutive bars were removed in the image below. The " Breakout Consecutive Bars " setting helps identify fakeouts by allowing the user to set how many consecutive bars must break the zone to define a breakout.
4. Wick Cleaner: This feature deletes zones formed above or below a wick percentage level, depending on whether it is a support or resistance zone. Without this input, charts could have zones formed from long wicks, as shown below.
5. Other User Inputs:
• Delete Overlapped Zones: Removes zones with a specific percentage of their body inside another zone. If this number is negative, zones that are too close to each other will be deleted.
• Change Color On Breakouts: Changes the zone color when the price is above or below it.
• ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the zone width.
█ CONCLUSION
The primary objective of this indicator is to plot key support and resistance zones while minimizing noise from unnecessary zones. As mentioned at the beginning, this indicator is highly customizable, so feel free to experiment with different settings to optimize its performance.

When a new swing high or low is detected, a box is drawn from the identified bar and extended to the right for visibility. This helps traders visually identify these critical zones.
The boxes are updated dynamically as new swings are detected, ensuring the most relevant zones are always displayed.
RSI and MACD Signals:
RSI Calculation:
The script calculates the RSI using the specified period and then smooths it using an exponential moving average.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the RSI's crossover with the 50 level.
MACD Calculation:
The MACD line and signal line are calculated using the specified periods.
Buy and sell signals are generated based on crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line.
These signals can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Trend Detection and Take Profit Signals:
Trend Detection:
The script calculates the basis (SMA) and upper and lower bands based on the standard deviation.
It determines the trend strength and direction by comparing the current price to these bands.

KryptOkib Supply and Demand with AlertsAs the name suggests, this is a supply and demand indicator script with alerts that i have made based on sole price actions. I have used 3 different methods of identifying supply and demand zones and tested to make sure they work. Nonetheless some zones will fail as no strategy is 100% and some zone will fail due to other reasons.
How this works:
As a basic rule, demand and supply zones can easily be identified from the base of a drop to a rally or vice versa and the base of a rally to a new rally, hence rally base rally, drop base rally for demand zones and rally base drop and drop base drop for supply zones.
While that is true, i basically search for areas where demand/bulls overpower supply/bears and vice versa with a strong move away. So not all the base are a consideration in this script unless we see a clear sign of bulls overpowering bears, or say demand overpowering supply and bears overpowering bulls or say supply overpowering demand. Several rules has been put in place to identify and filter this out so you may have a Rally Base Drop get ignored by this indicator as it do not meet my requirement.
Once this pattern is detected by the script using either of the 3 price action methods, and then a breakout of the basing candles occurs, the indicator paints the candlestick that broke out of the range/base with a different color, which is blue for demand breakout candle, and orange for a supply breakdown candle as circled on the chart.
The algorithm makes sure that this breakout candles follow strict rules set by mean of which 1 is a very bullishly closing breakout candle for demand or a very bearishly closing candle for a supply, with a follow through candle which is the next trading period /candle.
it is strongly recommended that you wait for the close of the next candlestick before attempting to take the demand/supply zone formed as there are further calculations done on the follow through breakout candle to make sure the demand/supply is a good one, the candle might be painted before the close of the next candle but after the close, the paint will be removed due to the fact that the zone no longer meets strict criteria as defined by me.
It is also suggested that you use the alert function that comes with script and wait for the alert to come through before taking the demand if you cannot wait for the second breakout candle to close as the alert will be fired only on close of the second follow through breakout candle.
One of the strict rules is wanting to see strong bullish/bearish presence apart from the way the breakout candle closes, there are many rules to filter out ugly zones, even though some good zones get caught up in this as well.
Identification of Zones:
Demand Zone: the previous candle open or high(based on personal preference) will be the proximal, where you start to draw your demand zone and the low of the basing/ranging candles or swing low will be the distal, where you end your demand zone as seen on the chart. Stop loss goes under this.
Supply Zone: The previous candle open or low will be the proximal, where the supply zone starts and the high of the range/basing candles or swing will be the distal where the supply zone ends as seen on the chart. Stop loss goes above this
Note that some zones with a-lot of basing candles tend to fail, while some tend to work, i have not algorithmically filtered this as i prefer to examine with eyes the zones alerted to me and take the ones with lesser basing candles.
Generally, Rally Base Rally and Drop Base Drop zones are mostly weaker than the other type of zones but sometimes works perfectly.

Institutional Zones | Rushi TradesA minimalist Supply & Demand indicator designed for professional scalpers. Filters out noise by identifying only high-momentum institutional zones. Features dynamic visibility (shows only the nearest zones) and auto-cleans broken levels to keep your chart pristine.
Premium Zones is a high-precision technical tool designed for traders who value chart clarity and institutional logic. Unlike standard support/resistance indicators that clutter the screen with hundreds of lines, this script focuses purely on Significant Structure.
It identifies Supply and Demand zones based on Price Velocity—ensuring that a level is only drawn if price reacted aggressively from that point (a sign of institutional order flow).
Key Features:
Velocity-Based Detection:
The algorithm does not rely on simple pivots. It requires a "Strong Move" (customizable Momentum Strength) away from a level to confirm it as a valid zone. This filters out weak retail levels and "stop hunts."
Dynamic Visibility Engine (The "Clean Chart" Protocol):
Nearest Zones Only: You can set a limit (e.g., 3 or 5). The script automatically hides zones that are far away and only displays the ones closest to current price. As price moves, new zones fade in automatically.
Auto-Management:
Break & Delete: If a candle closes beyond a zone, the script instantly deletes it. No more confusing "ghost levels" from the past.
Live Updates: Zones extend automatically until they are tested or broken.
Premium Aesthetics:
Designed with a "Glass" transparency effect.
Smart Labels: Price tags are placed externally (floating above/below the zone) in clean black text, ensuring they never obscure the candle action inside the zone.
Recommended Settings:
This indicator is highly effective for volatile assets like XAUUSD (Gold), US30, and Forex/Indian Majors.
For XAUUSD (Gold) Scalping (M5 / M15):
Pivot Lookback: 15 (Filters local noise)
Momentum Strength: 2.0/1.5 (Ensures only violent reversals are caught)
Max Visible Zones: 3 (Keeps focus on immediate price action)
For Day Trading / Swing (H1 / H4):
Pivot Lookback: 10
Momentum Strength: 1/1.5
Max Visible Zones: 3
How to Trade With It:
The Rejection: Do not place blind limit orders. Wait for price to enter a Premium Zone and show a rejection candle (wick) or a shift in market structure on a lower timeframe.
First Touch: These zones are most accurate on the first retest.

Adaptive Pivot Zones█ OVERVIEW
The "Adaptive Pivot Zones" indicator is a versatile tool designed to identify and visualize key pivot levels directly on the price chart. By detecting pivot highs and lows, the indicator calculates dynamic support and resistance zones based on user-defined levels (default: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618). These zones adapt to market volatility, providing traders with clear visual cues for potential reversal or continuation points. The indicator offers extensive customization options, such as adjusting colors, smoothing lines, and setting fill transparency, making it highly adaptable to various trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
The "Adaptive Pivot Zones" indicator simplifies the identification of significant price levels by plotting three dynamic pivot lines, which can be smoothed to reduce market noise. The indicator dynamically changes the colors of the lines and fill zones based on price action, using bullish, bearish, or neutral colors to reflect market sentiment.
█ CALCULATIONS
The indicator relies on the following calculations:
- Pivot Detection: Pivot highs (ta.pivothigh) and pivot lows (ta.pivotlow) are identified using a user-defined pivot length (default: 10). Pivots represent significant price peaks and troughs. Higher pivot length values produce more stable levels but introduce a delay equal to the set value. For more aggressive strategies, the pivot length can be reduced.
- Pivot Levels: When both a pivot high and low are detected, the range between them is calculated (rng = drHigh - drLow). Three pivot levels are computed as:
Line 1: drLow + rng * pivotLevel1
Line 2: drLow + rng * pivotLevel2
Line 3: drLow + rng * pivotLevel3
- Smoothing: Pivot lines can be smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) with a user-defined smoothing length (default: 1) to reduce noise and improve readability.
- Color Logic: Lines and fill zones are colored based on the price position relative to the pivot zones:
If the price is below the lowest pivot line, a bearish color is used (default: red).
If the price is above the highest pivot line, a bullish color is used (default: green).
If the price is within the pivot zones and the neutral color option is enabled, a neutral color is used (default: gray); otherwise, the previous color is retained.
- Fill Zones: The areas between pivot lines are filled with a user-defined transparency level (default: 80) to visually highlight support and resistance zones.
█ INDICATOR FEATURES
- Dynamic Pivot Lines: Three adaptive pivot lines (default levels: 0.382, 0.5, 0.618) are plotted on the price chart, adjusting to market volatility.
- Smoothing: User-defined smoothing length (default: 1) for pivot lines to reduce noise and enhance signal clarity.
- Dynamic Coloring: Lines and fill zones change color based on price action (bullish, bearish, or neutral when the price moves within the zone), reflecting market sentiment.
- Fill Zones: Transparent fills between pivot lines to visually highlight support and resistance zones.
- Customization: Options to adjust pivot length, pivot levels, smoothing, colors, transparency, and enable/disable neutral color logic.
█ HOW TO SET UP THE INDICATOR
- Add the "Adaptive Pivot Zones" indicator to your TradingView chart.
- Configure parameters in the settings, such as pivot length, pivot levels, smoothing length, and colors, to align with your trading strategy. Without smoothing, lines behave like levels; with smoothing, they act like bands. All three levels can be set to the same value to obtain a single level or a line behaving like a moving average derived from pivots.
- Enable or disable the neutral color option (for prices moving within the zone) and adjust fill transparency for optimal visualization.
- Adjust line thickness and style in the "Style" section to improve chart readability.
Example of bands – lines behave like support/resistance zones.
Example of a moving average derived from pivots – line behaves like a pivot-based MA.
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your chart, adjust the settings, and observe price interactions with the pivot lines and zones to identify potential trading opportunities. Key signals include:
- Price Interaction with Pivot Lines: When the price approaches or crosses a pivot line, it may indicate a potential support or resistance level. A bounce from a pivot line could signal a reversal, while a breakout might suggest trend continuation.
- Zone-Based Signals and Trend Line Usage: Price movement within or outside the filled zones can indicate market sentiment. Price below the lowest pivot line suggests bearish momentum, price above the highest pivot line suggests bullish momentum, and price within the zones may indicate consolidation. With higher pivot length values, the indicator can be used as a trend line, particularly during clear market movements.
- Color Changes: Shifts in line and fill colors (bullish, bearish, or neutral) provide visual cues about changing market conditions.
- Confirmation with Other Tools: Combine the indicator with tools like RSI or Bollinger Bands to validate signals and improve trade accuracy. For example, a buy signal from RSI in the oversold zone combined with a bounce from the lowest pivot line may indicate a strong entry point.
Thrax - Intraday Market Pressure ZonesTHRAX - INTRADAY MARKET PRESSURE ZONES
This indicator identifies potential support and resistance zones based on areas of significant market pressure. It dynamically plots these zones and adjusts their visibility based on real-time price action and user-defined thresholds. The indicator is useful for traders seeking to understand intraday market pressure, visualize zones of potential price reversals, and analyze volume imbalances at critical levels.
1. Support/Resistance Zones: Wherever the price retraces significantly from its high a support zone is drawn and when it retraces significantly from it low a resistance zone is drawn. The significant retracing is measured by the wick threshold percentage. For instance, if set to 75%, it implies price retracement of 75% either from high or from low for a particular candel
Volume delat: Displays volume delta information where the zones are formed. This can be used by trader to consider only those zones where delta is significant.
2. Breakout Detection: Monitors for price breakouts beyond established zones, deleting zones that are invalidated by price movement. when the price breaks a given zone with the threshold, it is considered to be mitigated and chances of trend continuation is decent.
Candle Coloring: Uses color codes (green, red, and yellow) to represent bullish, bearish, and indecisive (doji) candles, aiding quick visual assessment.
INPUTS
1. Wick Threshold (%) : Sets the minimum wick percentage required for a candle to be considered a support or resistance candidate.
2. Breakout Threshold (%) : Determines the percentage above or below a support or resistance zone that defines a breakout condition. if breaks a zone with the set threshold then the zone will be considered mititgated.
3. Max Number of Support/Resistance Zones : Limits the maximum number of support/resistance zones displayed on the chart, ranging from 1 to 5.
4. Show Wick Percentage Labels : Toggles the display of percentage values for upper and lower wicks on each candle.
TRADE SETUP
Identifying Entry Points: Look for the formation of support or resistance zones. Wait for price to retrace to these zones. if you are willing to take risk, you can consider even zones with low delta. If you want to be more cautious you should consider zones with high delta.
Volume Confirmation: Use the volume information to confirm the strength of the zone. Strong volume differences (displayed as labels) can indicate significant market pressure at these levels.
Breakout Trades: If price breaks through a support/resistance zone by more than the breakout threshold, consider this a signal for a potential trend continuation in the breakout direction.
Risk Management: Set stop-loss levels slightly outside of the identified zones to minimize risk in case of false breakouts. This can be set in input setting for breakout threshold.
Bonus Tip : Mark your significant highs and lows from where prices have retraced multiple times in the near past and if the zone is near these levels it can serve s a strong candidate of support or resistance
Therefore, in conclusion monitor the zones, based on delta and volume presence filter out the zone, wait for price retracement to the zone, intiate the trade with stop loss below zone with a set percentage.
Liquidity Zones [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to detect liquidity zones on the chart by identifying significant pivot highs and lows filtered by volume strength. It plots these zones as boxes, highlighting areas where liquidity is likely to accumulate. The indicator also draws lines extending from these boxes, marking the levels where price may "grab" this liquidity. The size of these boxes can be dynamic, adjusting based on the volume size, offering a visual representation of market areas where traders might expect significant price reactions.
🔵 IDEA
The idea behind the Liquidity Zones indicator is to help traders identify key market levels where liquidity accumulates. Liquidity zones are areas where there are enough buy or sell orders that can potentially lead to significant price movements. By focusing on pivot points filtered by volume strength, the indicator aims to provide a clearer picture of where large players may have positioned their orders. This insight allows traders to anticipate potential market reactions, such as reversals or breakouts, when the price reaches these zones. The option for dynamic box height further refines the visualization, showing the extent of liquidity based on the volume's intensity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Volume-Filtered Pivot Highs and Lows:
The indicator scans for pivot highs and lows on the chart, filtering these points based on the volume strength setting (Low, Mid, High). This ensures that only the most significant liquidity zones, backed by notable trading volume, are highlighted. Traders can adjust the filter to focus on different levels of market activity, from small fluctuations to major volume spikes.
Low:
Mid:
High:
◉ Dynamic and Static Liquidity Zones:
Liquidity zones are plotted as boxes around pivot points, with an optional dynamic mode that adjusts the box height based on the normalized volume. This dynamic adjustment reflects the liquidity carried by the volume, making it easier to gauge the significance of each zone. In static mode, the boxes have a fixed height, providing a consistent visual reference for the zones.
◉ Color Intensity Based on Volume:
The indicator adjusts the color intensity of the liquidity zones based on the volume strength. Higher volume zones will be displayed with more intense colors, giving a visual cue to the strength of the liquidity present in that area. This makes it easier to differentiate between zones of varying importance at a glance, allowing traders to quickly identify where the market has the highest concentration of liquidity.
◉ Liquidity Grab Detection and Red Circles:
When the price interacts with a liquidity zone, the indicator detects whether liquidity has been "grabbed" at these levels. If the price moves into a zone and crosses a level, the box label changes to "Liquidity Grabbed," and the line marking the level becomes dashed.
Reversal Points:
The beginning of a trend:
Additionally marks these "liquidity grabs" with red circles, indicating both recent and past liquidity grabs. This feature helps traders identify areas where liquidity has been absorbed by the market, which may signal potential reversals or shifts in market direction.
◉ Dashboard Display:
A dashboard in the upper right corner of the chart provides an overview of the indicator's settings and status. It shows the number of plotted zones, as set in the input settings, and whether the dynamic mode is active. This quick reference helps traders stay informed about the indicator's configuration without needing to open the settings panel.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Length & Zones Amount: Set the length for pivot detection and the maximum number of zones to be displayed on the chart. This allows you to control how many liquidity zones you want to monitor at any given time.
Volume Strength Filter: Adjust the filter to Low, Mid, or High to control the strength of volume required for a pivot to be considered a significant liquidity zone. Higher settings focus on zones with greater volume, indicating stronger liquidity.
Dynamic Distance Mode: Enable or disable the dynamic mode, which adjusts the box height based on the volume size. When dynamic mode is off, the boxes have a fixed height based on the ATR, offering a consistent visualization regardless of the volume size.
The Liquidity Zones indicator is a versatile tool for identifying areas of significant market activity, offering a clear view of where liquidity is likely to reside. By filtering these zones through volume strength and providing dynamic or static visualization options, it equips traders with insights into potential market reaction points, enhancing their ability to anticipate and respond to market movements. The varying color intensity based on volume further aids in quickly recognizing the most critical liquidity zones on the chart.
Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert🔵 Introduction
In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure.
🟣 Order Block
An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels.
🟣 Breaker Block
On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB)
Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions.
In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions.
Bullish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
Bearish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
🔵 How to Use
The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts.
🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading
1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move.
Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone.
2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues.
If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible.
3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate.
Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable.
4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold.
5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points.
Bullish Overlapping Block :
Bearish Overlapping Block :
🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block
1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points.
2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk.
3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area.
4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market.
5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.

Demand and Supply Zones Lite [Afnan]Are you looking to level up your trading game and spot potential turning points in the stock market? Introducing the Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify opportunities created by the Smart money.
The Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator is built upon the principles of Rally Base Rally (RBR), Rally Base Drop (RBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD).
🔍 Key Details 🔍
The "Smart Money" concept refers to large institutional investors and professional traders who possess significant financial resources and expertise. The importance of smart money lies in their influence on market trends and price movements. Their actions and positions often serve as signals for retail traders and investors to make informed decisions.
Formation of Smart Money: Smart money is attracted to areas in the market where they can find favourable risk-to-reward opportunities.
1. Rally Base Rally (RBR) Zones: These zones occur after a rally (upward price movement), followed by a period of consolidation (base formation), and then another rally. Smart money often forms positions here as it suggests a strong uptrend continuation.
2. Rally Base Drop (RBD) Zones: In this case, there is a rally, followed by a base formation, but instead of another rally, the price drops. Smart money may position themselves here in anticipation of a potential trend reversal.
3. Drop Base Rally (DBR) Zones: These zones form when there is a drop in price, followed by a base formation, and then a rally. Smart money may take positions here, expecting a trend reversal to the upside.
4. Drop Base Drop (DBD) Zones: In this scenario, the price drops, then forms a base, but subsequently continues to drop. Smart money might take bearish positions here, anticipating further downward movement.
🚀 Pending Orders from Smart Money Zones: 🚀
When the price approaches these smart money zones, institutional investors often place remaining pending orders to enter the market.
By identifying RBR/DBR zones as potential buying opportunities and RBD/DBD zones as potential selling opportunities on price charts, retail traders can align their trades with smart money activities. Implementing proper risk management and confirming signals enhances the likelihood of successful trades by following the footsteps of institutional investors.

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.

EMA/SMA Cross +Introducing the EMA/SMA Cross + , a powerful and customizable indicator designed specifically for TradingView. This indicator is unlike any other, as it combines the strengths of both Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Simple Moving Average (SMA) in conjunction with supply and demand zones to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of price action. The EMA/SMA Cross + is perfect for traders looking for an edge in the market.
How it works:
The EMA/SMA Cross + indicator utilizes two moving averages: a short-term EMA and a long-term SMA. The short-term EMA is calculated using a user-defined length (default: 120) and the closing prices of the selected timeframe. Similarly, the long-term SMA is calculated using a user-defined length (default: 200) and the closing prices of the selected timeframe. These moving averages are then plotted on the chart along with their respective crosses.
When the short-term EMA crosses above the long-term SMA, it signals a bullish trend, and a green circle appears on the chart. Conversely, when the short-term EMA crosses below the long-term SMA, it signals a bearish trend, and a red circle appears on the chart.
Supply and Demand Zones:
In addition to the moving average crosses, the EMA/SMA Cross + indicator also displays supply and demand zones. These zones are created whenever a cross occurs, representing areas where the price is likely to reverse or consolidate. The supply zones (bullish) are displayed as green dashed boxes, while the demand zones (bearish) are displayed as red dashed boxes.
To use these zones in conjunction with price action, traders can look for potential entry points when the price approaches a zone. For example, if the price is approaching a bullish supply zone, traders may consider entering a long position, anticipating a potential upward price movement. On the other hand, if the price is approaching a bearish demand zone, traders may consider entering a short position, anticipating a potential downward price movement.
The EMA/SMA Cross + indicator sets itself apart from other TradingView indicators with its distinctive blend of features and customization options. Users can effortlessly modify the following:
TimeFrame: Adjust the higher time frame used for the calculations.
Length: Customize the length of the EMA and SMA.
Display last X zones: Limit the number of displayed zones to the most recent ones.
Colors: Personalize the colors of bullish circles, bearish circles, supply boxes, and demand boxes.
Uniqueness and Code Protection
The EMA/SMA Cross + indicator stands out from other TradingView indicators due to its unique combination of EMA and SMA, along with the integration of supply and demand zones. This innovative approach provides a comprehensive view of the market, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
Please note that the code for this script is protected to maintain its uniqueness and ensure that it remains exclusive to our users.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones [BackQuant]Time-Decay Liquidity Zones
A dynamic liquidity map that turns single-bar exhaustion events into fading, color-graded zones, so you can see where trapped traders and unfinished business still matter, and when those areas have finally stopped pulling price.
What this is
This indicator detects unusually strong impulsive moves into wicks, converts them into supply or demand “zones,” then lets those zones decay over time. Each zone carries a strength score that fades bar by bar. Zones that stop attracting or rejecting price are gradually de-emphasized and eventually removed, while the most relevant areas stay bright and obvious.
Instead of static rectangles that live forever, you get a living liquidity map where:
Zones are born from objective criteria: volatility, wick size, and optional volume spikes.
Zones “age” using a configurable decay factor and maximum lifetime.
Zone color and opacity reflect current relative strength on a unified clear → green → red gradient.
Zones freeze when broken, so you can distinguish “active reaction areas” from “historical levels that have already given way”.
Conceptual idea
Large wicks with strong volatility often mark areas where aggressive orders met hidden liquidity and got absorbed. Price may revisit these areas to test leftover interest or to relieve trapped positions. However, not every wick matters for long. As time passes and more bars print, the market “forgets” some areas.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones turns that idea into a rule-based system:
Find bars that likely reflect strong aggressive flows into liquidity.
Mark a zone around the wick using ATR-based thickness.
Assign a strength score of 1.0 at birth.
Each bar, reduce that score by a decay factor and remove zones that fall below a threshold or live too long.
Color all surviving zones from weak to strong using a single gradient scale and a visual legend.
How events are detected
Detection lives in the Event Detection group. The script combines range, wick size, and optional volume filters into simple rules.
Volatility filter
ATR Length — computes a rolling ATR over your chosen window. This is the volatility baseline.
Min range in ATRs — bar range (High–Low) must exceed this multiple of ATR for an event to be considered. This avoids tiny bars triggering zones.
Wick filters
For each bar, the script splits the candle into body and wicks:
Upper wick = High minus the max(Open, Close).
Lower wick = min(Open, Close) minus Low.
Then it tests:
Upper wick condition — upper wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Lower wick condition — lower wick must be larger than Min wick size in ATRs × ATR.
Only bars with a sufficiently long wick relative to volatility qualify as candidate “liquidity events”.
Volume filter
Optionally, the script requires a volume spike:
Use volume filter — if enabled, volume must exceed a rolling volume SMA by a configurable multiplier.
Volume SMA length — period for the volume average.
Volume spike multiplier — how many times above the SMA current volume needs to be.
This lets you focus only on “heavy” tests of liquidity and ignore quiet bars.
Event types
Putting it together:
Upper event (potential supply / long liquidation, etc.)
Occurs when:
Upper wick is large in ATR terms.
Full bar range is large in ATR terms.
Volume is above the spike threshold (if enabled).
Lower event (potential demand / short liquidation, etc.)
Symmetric conditions using the lower wick.
How zones are constructed
Zone geometry lives in Zone Geometry .
When an event is detected, the script builds a rectangular box that anchors to the wick and extends in the appropriate direction by an ATR-based thickness.
For upper (supply-type) zones
Bottom of the zone = event bar high.
Top of the zone = event bar high + Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
The zone initially spans only the event bar on the x-axis, but is extended to the right as new bars appear while the zone is active.
For lower (demand-type) zones
Top of the zone = event bar low.
Bottom of the zone = event bar low − Zone thickness in ATRs × ATR.
Same extension logic: box starts on the event bar and grows rightward while alive.
The result is a band around the wick that scales with volatility. On high-ATR charts, zones are thicker. On calm charts, they are narrower and more precise.
Zone lifecycle, decay, and removal
All lifecycle logic is controlled by the Decay & Lifetime group.
Each zone carries:
Score — a floating-point “importance” measure, starting at 1.0 when created.
Direction — +1 for upper zones, −1 for lower zones.
Birth index — bar index at creation time.
Active flag — whether the zone is still considered unbroken and extendable.
1) Active vs broken
Each confirmed bar, the script checks:
For an upper zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves above the top of the zone.
For a lower zone , the zone is counted as “broken” when the close moves below the bottom of the zone.
When a zone breaks:
Its right edge is frozen at the previous bar (no further extension).
The zone remains on the chart, but is no longer updated by price interaction. It still decays in score until removal.
This lets you see where a major level was overrun, while naturally fading its influence over time.
2) Time decay
At each confirmed bar:
Score := Score × Score decay per bar .
A decay value close to 1.0 means very slow decay and long-lived zones.
Lower values (closer to 0.9) mean faster forgetting and more current-focused zones.
You are controlling how quickly the market “forgets” past events.
3) Age and score-based removal
Zones are removed when either:
Age in bars exceeds Max bars a zone can live .
This is a hard lifetime cap.
Score falls below Minimum score before removal .
This trims zones that have decayed into irrelevance even if their age is still within bounds.
When a zone is removed, its box is deleted and all associated state is freed to keep performance and visuals clean.
Unified gradient and color logic
Color control lives in Gradient & Color . The indicator uses a single continuous gradient for all zones, above and below price, so you can read strength at a glance without guessing what palette means what.
Base colors
You set:
Mid strength color (green) — used for mid-level strength zones and as the “anchor” in the gradient.
High strength color (red) — used for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — the maximum visual opacity for the solid part of the gradient. Lower values here mean more solid; higher values mean more transparent.
The script then defines three internal points:
Clear end — same as mid color, but with a high alpha (close to transparent).
Mid end — mid color at the strongest allowed opacity.
High end — high color at the strongest allowed opacity.
Strength normalization
Within each update:
The script finds the maximum score among all existing zones.
Each zone’s strength is computed as its score divided by this maximum.
Strength is clamped into .
This means a zone with strength 1.0 is currently the strongest zone on the chart. Other zones are colored relative to that.
Piecewise gradient
Color is assigned in two stages:
For strength between 0.0 and 0.5: interpolate from “clear” green to solid green.
Weak zones are barely visible, mid-strength zones appear as solid green.
For strength between 0.5 and 1.0: interpolate from solid green to solid red.
The strongest zones shift toward the red anchor, clearly separating them from everything else.
Strength scale legend
To make the gradient readable, the indicator draws a vertical legend on the right side of the chart:
About 15 cells from top (Strong) to bottom (Weak).
Each cell uses the same gradient function as the zones themselves.
Top cell is labeled “Strong”; bottom cell is labeled “Weak”.
This legend acts as a fixed reference so you can instantly map a zone’s color to its approximate strength rank.
What it plots
At a glance, the indicator produces:
Upper liquidity zones above price, built from large upper wick events.
Lower liquidity zones below price, built from large lower wick events.
All zones colored by relative strength using the same gradient.
Zones that freeze when price breaks them, then fade out via decay and removal.
A strength scale legend on the right to interpret the gradient.
There are no extra lines, labels, or clutter. The focus is the evolving structure of liquidity zones and their visual strength.
How to read the zones
Bright red / bright green zones
These are your current “major” liquidity areas. They have high scores relative to other zones and have not yet decayed. Expect meaningful reactions, absorption attempts, or spillover moves when price interacts with them.
Faded zones
Pale, nearly transparent zones are either old, decayed, or minor. They can still matter, but priority is lower. If these are in the middle of a long consolidation, they often become background noise.
Broken but still visible zones
Zones whose extension has stopped have been overrun by closing price. They show where a key level gave way. You can use them as context for regime shifts or failed attempts.
Absence of zones
A chart with few or no zones means that, under your current thresholds, there have not been strong enough liquidity events recently. Either tighten the filters or accept that recent price action has been relatively balanced.
Use cases
1) Intraday liquidity hunting
Run the indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 1–15 minute) with moderately fast decay.
Use the upper zones as potential sell reaction areas, the lower zones as potential buy reaction areas.
Combine with order flow, CVD, or footprint tools to see whether price is absorbing or rejecting at each zone.
2) Swing trading context
Increase ATR length and range/wick multipliers to focus only on major spikes.
Set slower decay and higher max lifetime so zones persist across multiple sessions.
Use these zones as swing inflection areas for larger setups, for example anticipating re-tests after breakouts.
3) Stop placement and invalidation
For longs, place invalidation beyond a decaying lower zone rather than in the middle of noise.
For shorts, place invalidation beyond strong upper zones.
If price closes through a strong zone and it freezes, treat that as additional evidence your prior bias may be wrong.
4) Identifying trapped flows
Upper zones formed after violent spikes up that quickly fail can mark trapped longs.
Lower zones formed after violent spikes down that quickly reverse can mark trapped shorts.
Watching how price behaves on the next touch of those zones can hint at whether those participants are being rescued or squeezed.
Settings overview
Event Detection
Use volume filter — enable or disable the volume spike requirement.
Volume SMA length — rolling window for average volume.
Volume spike multiplier — how aggressive the volume spike filter is.
ATR length — period for ATR, used in all size comparisons.
Min wick size in ATRs — minimum wick size threshold.
Min range in ATRs — minimum bar range threshold.
Zone Geometry
Zone thickness in ATRs — vertical size of each liquidity zone, scaled by ATR.
Decay & Lifetime
Score decay per bar — multiplicative decay factor for each zone score per bar.
Max bars a zone can live — hard cap on lifetime.
Minimum score before removal — score cut-off at which zones are deleted.
Gradient & Color
Mid strength color (green) — base color for mid-level zones and the lower half of the gradient.
High strength color (red) — target color for the strongest zones.
Max opacity — controls the most solid end of the gradient (0 = fully solid, 100 = fully invisible).
Tuning guidance
Fast, session-only liquidity
Shorter ATR length (e.g., 20–50).
Higher wick and range multipliers to focus only on extreme events.
Decay per bar closer to 0.95–0.98 and moderate max lifetime.
Volume filter enabled with a decent multiplier (e.g., 1.5–2.0).
Slow, structural zones
Longer ATR length (e.g., 100+).
Moderate wick and range thresholds.
Decay per bar very close to 1.0 for slow fading.
Higher max lifetime and slightly higher min score threshold so only very weak zones disappear.
Noisy, high-volatility instruments
Increase wick and range ATR multipliers to avoid over-triggering.
Consider enabling the volume filter with stronger settings.
Keep decay moderate to avoid the chart getting overloaded with old zones.
Notes
This is a structural and contextual tool, not a complete trading system. It does not account for transaction costs, execution slippage, or your specific strategy rules. Use it to:
Highlight where liquidity has recently been tested hard.
Rank these areas by decaying strength.
Guide your attention when layering in separate entry signals, risk management, and higher-timeframe context.
Time-Decay Liquidity Zones is designed to keep your chart focused on where the market has most recently “cared” about price, and to gradually forget what no longer matters. Adjust the detection, geometry, decay, and gradient to fit your product and timeframe, and let the zones show you which parts of the tape still have unfinished business.
Trend & Volatility ZoneUnlock the power of trend and volatility with the Dynamic Trend Zone, a complete trading suite for TradingView. Designed to help traders of all levels identify the direction and strength of market trends, this tool provides clean, actionable signals to remove guesswork and enhance your trading decisions.
Our system is built on a sophisticated logic that combines a smooth trend-following moving average with volatility bands based on the Average True Range (ATR). This creates an intuitive visual guide to the market's current state.
How It Works
The indicator is composed of two key elements:
The Trend Core: A central, responsive moving average acts as the baseline for determining the primary trend direction.
The Volatility Zone: Dynamic bands that expand and contract based on market volatility (ATR). These bands define the boundaries of the trend. When the price closes outside these bands, it signals a potential new trend is beginning.
The background color changes to provide an at-a-glance understanding of the market:
Blue Zone: Indicates a confirmed uptrend.
Red Zone: Indicates a confirmed downtrend.
Key Features
Visual Trend Zones: The colored background makes it effortless to see if the market is bullish or bearish, helping you stay on the right side of the trend.
Precise Entry Signals: Never miss a potential trend shift.
A green upward arrow appears when the trend officially flips from bearish to bullish, suggesting a buy opportunity.
A red downward arrow appears when the trend switches from bullish to bearish, highlighting a potential sell signal.
Fully Integrated Backtesting Strategy: This script isn't just an indicator; it's a complete, ready-to-use strategy. You can instantly backtest its performance on any asset and timeframe to validate its effectiveness.
Customizable Risk Management: The strategy includes optional Stop Loss and Take Profit parameters (in percent), allowing you to test different risk management approaches.
Highly Customizable Settings: Tailor the indicator to your preferred trading style by adjusting the sensitivity of the trend line and the width of the volatility zones.
Built-in Date Filter: Focus your backtesting on specific market conditions with a simple-to-use date filter, allowing you to analyze performance from any given start date.
How to Use
For a Long Position (Buy): Wait for the background to turn blue and a green arrow to appear below a candle. This signals that bullish momentum is taking control.
For a Short Position (Sell): Wait for the background to turn red and a red arrow to appear above a candle. This indicates that bearish momentum is building.
Confirmation: For best results, use these signals in conjunction with your own analysis, such as identifying key support/resistance levels or confirming with higher timeframe trends.
Customizable Settings
Trend Line Length: Controls the responsiveness of the central trend line. A lower value is faster; a higher value is smoother.
ATR Period: Sets the lookback period for calculating volatility.
ATR Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the trend zones. A higher value requires a stronger price move to signal a trend change.
Stop Loss % / Take Profit %: Define your risk-reward parameters for the backtesting strategy.
Disclaimer: The Dynamic Trend Zone is a tool designed for market analysis and backtesting. It is not financial advice. All forms of trading involve substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Please use this tool responsibly as part of a well-rounded trading plan and risk management strategy.
Rejection Zones with FVG ConfirmationOverview
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Rejection Zones by detecting a specific and powerful price action pattern. The core logic combines the concepts of price rejection , indicated by overlapping wicks, with a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that confirms a strong market imbalance.
These zones are automatically drawn on your chart and can serve as critical levels of potential support (demand) or resistance (supply) for future price movements. The indicator is fully equipped with multi-timeframe (MTF) capabilities, advanced zone management, and customizable alerts to enhance your trading analysis.
Key Features
Dual Timeframe Analysis : Simultaneously displays Rejection Zones from your current timeframe (CTF) and a selected higher timeframe (HTF). HTF zones often represent more significant price levels.
Advanced Zone Management : Zones are dynamically tracked and their status updates as price interacts with them (e.g., Touch, Covered). You can define conditions for when a zone should be considered invalid.
Smart Overlap Handling : Choose how to handle overlapping zones. Either Replace the old zone with the new one or Keep Both to see all areas of interest.
Performance Optimization : Includes an option to Calculate on Visible Range Only, which significantly improves script performance on charts with extensive historical data.
Customizable Alerts : Set up alerts for when a new Rejection Zone is created or when price touches an existing zone, for both CTF and HTF.
Full Visual Customization : Easily customize the colors of Bullish and Bearish zones for both timeframes to match your chart's theme.
How The Logic Works
A Rejection Zone is identified based on a sequence of candlestick patterns:
Bullish Rejection Zone (Potential Demand) :
- Imbalance Confirmation : A bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is detected, meaning the high of the candle two bars ago (high ) is lower than the current candle's low (low ).
- Price Rejection : The script then checks if the lower wicks of the two candles preceding the FVG (bar and bar ) overlap. This overlap signifies a concentrated area where price was aggressively rejected.
- Zone Creation : If both conditions are met, a Bullish Rejection Zone is drawn covering the area of the combined rejection wicks.
Bearish Rejection Zone (Potential Supply) :
Imbalance Confirmation: A bearish FVG is detected (the low of bar is higher than the current high ).
Price Rejection: The script checks for overlapping upper wicks on bar and bar .
Zone Creation: A Bearish Rejection Zone is drawn on the area of the combined upper wicks.
How to Use
Identify Key Levels : Use these zones as you would with traditional support/resistance or supply/demand zones. They represent areas where a significant market reaction previously occurred.
Entry Triggers : Look for price to return to a zone and show signs of reaction (e.g., reversal candlestick patterns, shift in market structure on a lower timeframe) before considering an entry.
Higher Timeframe Confluence : Pay close attention to the HTF zones. A reaction from an HTF zone is generally more significant than one from a CTF zone. When a CTF zone forms within an HTF zone, it can signal a very high-probability setup.
Settings Explained
Higher Timeframe
Show : Toggles the visibility of HTF zones.
Timeframe Mapping (e.g., 30Sec:, 1Min:) : Choose which higher timeframe to display based on your current timeframe.
Rejection Zone
Show : Toggles the visibility of all zones.
History : Sets the maximum number of recent zones to display on the chart.
Size Half : If checked, reduces the vertical size of the zone by 50%, drawing it from the wick's midpoint to its tip. This can help pinpoint more precise entry levels.
Invalidation Condition : Defines when a zone should be considered invalid and stop being monitored.
- None : Never invalidates.
- Touch : Invalidates when price touches the zone.

Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances
Intro to Supply and Demand Zone Technical Analysis
Supply and demand is an increasingly common strategy among day and swing traders in equity, forex, and the futures markets. The goal of analyzing supply and demand zones is to pre-determine where price action may pivot before that pivot happens, thus giving us an edge over the market. There are many unique charting/trading strategies that fit under the supply and demand umbrella, however we are going to focus primarily on Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances, as this is what our TradingView indicator actively displays.
What are Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances?
First, let’s break down the phrase above. The first word is ‘institutional’, which is a key aspect in our trading. As a retail trader, you must understand that retail traders (individual traders like you and I) have very little control and very little effect on price action in the major markets. The price action that we see everyday is caused by large institutions and hedge funds buying and selling equities in massive quantities.
This chart displays the price action for ES, which is the S&P500 E-mini futures .
At the time this guide was created, that chart for ES displays the low of this year (2022). You can see major highs and major lows, as well as steep drops and momentous runs.
Price action like this appears random to the naked eye, however it is all controlled by major institutions. These institutions place large buy and sell orders for markets such as the S&P 500 Index which causes these moves.
Our Institutional Demand and Supply Analysis attempts to discover the price zones where institutions have placed their buy/sell orders. Their buy orders create “demand zones”. And their sell orders create “supply zones”. Knowing where these zones exist allows us to anticipate price trend reversals so we can profitably participate in them alongside the major institutions when these key moves take place.
We are looking for areas in the chart where institutions have created major imbalances (more buy orders than sell orders or vice versa) which creates demand and supply zones that impact price action and trend reversals in predictable ways.
What Causes These Supply and Demand Zones?
Understanding that institutions control the price of the markets is crucial for understanding how these zones of supply and demand imbalances are formed, and it can be derived from historical price action.
There are two types of price action, balanced and imbalanced. Balanced price action is flat, consolidatory price action where the overall direction is sideways. Imbalanced price action is an exaggerated move in price either up or down. Now here is the key: institutional supply and demand imbalances are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. Below is an example of balanced price action .
There are clearly areas of institutional buy and sell orders that are causing price action to oscillate between the areas of demand and supply. The longer price action consolidates and moves sideways, the larger the volume profile will be in this range. In other words, more institutional orders will build up as price remains relatively the same for a longer period of time.
Here is how a demand zone is formed :
Due to bullish CPI news, price action went from balanced to imbalanced by exploding to the upside. This bullish price action filled all of the sell orders and broke past the previous area of supply. Because price moved up so fast, the buy orders did not get a chance to fill, essentially leaving an area with a high concentration of buy orders remaining. Hence, a new demand zone is formed which is shown here .
Our state-of-the-art indicator automatically scans for these historical shifts in price action (balanced to imbalanced) via our supply and demand zone detection formula, and displays them on your chart instantly. Remember the first image sent of blank price action? Here it is below:
The image below shows the exact same chart of ES, however, our advanced Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator has been applied to the chart.
Just like that, price action has been transformed from unexplainable chaos to an orderly sequence of demand bounces and supply rejections.
Yes, all of these zones may be charted manually if one were to acquire the knowledge required to chart them by hand, and spend numerous hours going back in time to find all these zones. Additionally, these charts would then have to be constantly monitored and updated, which would require hours of work each day. This powerful indicator automates all of that work to give you more precious time to analyze and trade these zone-driven pivots in the markets.
How To Measure the Strength of Supply and Demand Zones?
The longer the consolidation takes place, the larger the demand/ supply zone will be. This strength is measured by the time frame of the origin of the zone.
Each zone may be formed on a different time frame, the biggest being the 1 Month time frame, and the smallest being the 30 Minute. Each supply and demand zone is automatically labeled based on the time frame from which the zone originated.
The weakest zones are derived from the 30 minute time frame. This means the zone only took two 30 minute candles to form, which is not a lot of time for institutions to place large orders. This means that the bounces and rejections off of these zones will usually be smaller, and usually won’t last more than a few days.
Larger zones such as 1 Day, 1 Week, and 1 Month often cause large swings in the market lasting weeks, months and even years. So pay attention not just to where the demand and supply zones currently appear, but also to the strength of that zone. You can see below that the demand zone that the market bottomed in and reversed out of in 2022 was in fact, a very strong weekly zone.
What is the Significance of Supply and Demand Zone Breaks?
These zones are order-based. This means that a supply zone level doesn’t turn into demand when price action breaks above it, and demand doesn’t turn into supply when price action breaks below it. It is unlike standard trend-based support and resistance levels. If price action breaks below demand by even $0. 01 , all of the buy orders have been filled and the demand must be deleted from the chart (and vice versa for a supply zone ).
While it is possible to play these zone breaks as continuation plays off of current momentous price action, it is unpredictable how far price will go up or down after breaking supply or demand during that leg.
However, in my years of supply and demand experience, I have noticed that if demand breaks, the market will eventually come down to the next viable demand zone . This is because without a pivot caused by an institutional-created demand or supply imbalance, there is often not enough participation to cause a sustainable trend reversal for a long period of time. Below is an example of this:
Above is the 4 Hour chart of TSLA bouncing up off of a demand zone . We call this a bounce in “no man's land”, as there is no major demand bounce to support this reversal to the upside. So in theory, price action should return lower to the next major historical zone of demand before it has a chance of pulling off a solid reversal. Here is what happened:
As you can see above, TSLA did indeed end up heading back down into the next major demand zone before getting a sustainable reversal to the upside. So you may play these supply and demand zone breaks as continuation trades, either long or short, with a price target at the next major zone. Just make sure to use proper risk management and position sizing, as timing the trigger of a price target can be difficult.
How Might I Place a Trade Using the Indicator?
Now that the basics of institutional supply and demand zones have been discussed, there will come a time that this strategy must be actively applied to personal trading with a goal of becoming profitable. Here is a step-by-step process to place a trade using supply and demand paired with an example of a day trade from the 1 minute time frame.
Step 1: Find a highly institutionally traded stock that is currently in supply or demand as shown by our indicator. For example, AAPL:
Step 2: Look for an above-average (exaggerated) volume spike. Because we are in one of the green zones at the bottom of the chart, we know that we are in demand where large institutional buy orders reside. We need to wait for some of these orders to actually fill before we take our trade. This is known as volume confirmation. The color of the volume usually does not matter in this situation.
Step 3: Now that we have a volume spike which is confirmation of large orders being filled, we need more confirmation that the institutional orders are not only a buy, but large enough to actually reverse the current trend.
This is ultimately a judgment call. A few green candles may be good enough to dictate a reversal, or a trend break. It comes down to personal preference and how aggressive you would like to be. Keep in mind, the longer you wait, the more confirmation your trade has, but also, the longer you wait, the greater the risk of missing the new trend. In this example, we will use a trend line to confirm our trend reversal.
Step 4: Enter the trade. Now that you have proper demand confirmation, you may place your trade. Be sure to determine your stop loss, price target, position size, and all other risk management factors along the way.
In this example, AAPL ran all the way up to supply before rejecting; making for a perfect demand to supply call trade. Also, more short trade entries could have been taken based off of the multiple supply rejections AAPL had.
The Bottom Line
There are many ways one may go about trading the stock market. However in my years of trading and teaching, there has never been a strategy that has not only changed my career, but improved the trading careers of my students, more dramatically than Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances.
Though charting new zones and deleting broken ones everyday was time consuming and repetitive, the results of trading these zones made it well-worth the hours of charting. However, after months of development and fine-tuning, the painful charting process has been automated by this powerful indicator, completely replacing the tedious charting work for myself and my students.
While numerous other indicators include the name “Supply and Demand Zones”, we believe that no supply and demand indicator remotely this advanced and accurate available on TradingView. I am very blessed to finally bring this revolutionary tool to the market.
Introduction to the Aurora Demand and Supply Indicator for TradingView and its Functionality
This page is dedicated to providing a thorough walk-through of our Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator. The settings functionality, customizability, and purpose will be discussed to give you an in-depth understanding of the indicator. Understanding the purpose of the different functions and settings is crucial to utilizing this powerful tool at its full potential.
First Look Upon Indicator Addition
After purchasing the indicator, your chart may initially appear cluttered, zoomed out, and hard to read. But do not worry, it just means the indicator settings must be fine-tuned to optimize your experience. Tt may appear overwhelming. However this page will discuss each major customizable setting and the functionality behind it to streamline your TradingView set up.
Filter Options Settings Category
This is the first customizable feature that appears when accessing the settings of the indicator. What Filter Zone Ranges does is allow you to filter the range at which zones appear both above and below the current asset price. With this setting unchecked, every single demand and supply zone within the 5k candle limit (or 20k limit if you have a premium TradingView account) will appear on your chart. This causes chart clutter which limits the visibility of price action.
If you have this setting activated, you can choose exactly the range of zones visible to you. This range is percent based and is measured both above and below the current market price. For example, if you activate Filter Zone Ranges and set the Filter Percentage at 7%, only zones within the range of 7% above, and 7% below the current asset price will be shown.
Demand/ Supply Zone Options Settings Category
The next two categories contain the majority of the customizability for supply and demand zones. The first option in both the Demand/ Supply Zone Options is Create Demand/Supply Zones. This toggle is very straight forward, you may choose whether or not to display all demand zones, or all supply zones.
The next two options are Demand/ Supply Zone Border and Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. Again, these are straight forward. The border setting allows you to edit both the color and opacity of the zones’ border lines. The fill setting allows you to edit the color and opacity of the interior of the supply/demand boxes.
Following the first pair of visual settings, you will see Demand/ Supply Zone Box Offset. This allows you to toggle how much the indicator offsets each zone from its origin point. In other words, move it to the left or right from the point in time at which the zone was created. The 0 offset is the base setting which is actually a slight offset to the right of the origin point to ensure that the candlesticks remain unobstructed visually.
After the offset options, you will find Demand/ Supply Zone ERC Multiple. This is a key setting which inputs the value our formula utilizes to scan the areas of institutional supply and demand imbalances. Unless you are extremely experienced with supply and demand analysis or you are running backtesting, it is highly recommended this value is left at ‘2’ for both the demand and supply options.
The next two options you will see in your indicator settings are Extend Demand/ Supply Zone and Demand/ Supply Zone Size. This feature allows you to customize exactly how far your zones will extend from the point of origin into the future.
The three options on the drop down menu are Extend, Fixed, and Dynamic. Each of these options extend your zones in a different fashion. It is important to note that the value inputted in the size option is the amount of units the zones will extend to the right for both Fixed and Dynamic options. The larger this input is, the further out the zones will extend into the future, and vice versa.
The final setting in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category is Broken Zones to Keep and Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. The Broken Zones to Keep input allows you to see recent supply or demand zones that have been broken and deleted from your chart. This may be useful for a trader in a few different ways. The Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill setting allows you to customize the number of broken zones displayed as well as their color and opacity. The most prominent example of this option’s utility is for traders that do not observe price action during the entirety of the market open.
If an individual left their charts for a few hours and missed a demand break, it may give the illusion that there was never a demand there and price action has been in “no-man's land” all day. However if that individual inputted ‘1’ in the Broken Zones to Keep setting, they would be able to see that a demand has broken. This may be useful as the trader may have an altered sentiment after knowing that a zone did in fact break.
Note: the value inputted is the amount of previously broken zones that will appear on your chart. For example, if the value ‘3’ is inputted, the three most recently broken zones will appear on your chart.
Time Frame Options Settings Category
Time Frame Options Settings allows you to toggle which supply and demand zones appear on your chart by time frame. For example, if you are analyzing a chart on a larger time frame such as the daily or weekly, the small 30 minute and 45 minute zones will often clutter your chart. By deselecting the weaker and smaller time frame zones, it will clean your chart up, allowing you to only see the zones that assist your analysis.
However the first two options in the category are unique.The first is Show Forming Zones. This option is extremely useful if you are watching price action play out live, when seeing the possibility of a supply or demand zone forming may be of benefit during your day trading. By toggling this setting ON, you will see all possible supply and demand zones forming in real time. However, this could cause clutter if multiple zones are forming at once in which case, toggling it off may be more beneficial.
The second option in the Timeframe Options category is the Show Zones Inside toggle, which controls the table at the top right of your screen (you may get rid of this table by deselecting tables in display settings).
This setting simply is a “yes” or “no” as to whether or not the table located at the top right of your screen will display the number of zones price action is currently sitting in. This setting is useful as zones may sometimes pile up on top of one another, making it hard to know exactly how many zones price action is currently sitting in.
Gap Options Settings Category
Just below the Timeframe Options category, is the Gap Options category. Gaps appear when two daily candles highs and lows do not overlap. These are often created when a catalyst is released into the market overnight causing a large move, resulting in a “gap” up or down the next morning.
A Gap often forms due to a strong move to the upside, and the indicator highlights this gap with a gray box. Gaps are important to many traders as there is often a large lack of liquidity inside the gap area, which often acts as a magnet that attracts future price action to fill it. If toggled on, the indicator displays the gap among the supply and demand zones seamlessly. The rest of the settings for this category are options to customize the color, opacity, size, and offset. These have the same effect as the options in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category.
Text Options Settings Category
The final category in the indicator input settings is Text Options. This category allows you to toggle zone labeling on or off, and to specify how you would like the zone labels to appear. It’s strongly recommended that zone labeling is left ON because knowing the time frame a supply or demand zone originated from is a massive indicator of its strength. Top right alignment causes labeling such as “3H” to appear at the top right of each zone.
Indicator Data Limitations
There are a few limitations of TradingView which impact the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator. The first is the data TradingView provides to its users. With a basic TradingView account, a user only has access to 5,000 candles of data. So if a user is on the 1 minute time frame, that user can only see 5,000 candles before that current point. This is important because our advanced indicator scans historical price action that has formed supply and demand zones and displays it on your chart. This means that if a user is on a 1 minute time frame chart, they will only be able to see zones formed within the last 5,000 candles. Older supply and demand zones can not be displayed. However if a user has the Premium TradingView subscription, they can access up to 20,000 candles, which greatly increases the potential zones the user may see on the smaller time frames.
To counter this, we strongly recommend checking the larger time frames before starting your trading day, as there could be an old zone lurking behind the scenes. Once you spot it on the 30 minute time frame, for example, you may easily take note of the demand zone and its location.
The Bottom Line
This indicator has been intricately and powerfully designed to not only display institutional supply and demand imbalances more accurately and efficiently than any other TradingView indicator, but it has also been designed to give the user full control. Full control means the user has the ability to customize the appearance and inputs, as well as toggle specific objects visible to the trader.
We have meticulously designed the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator to be extremely valuable as a stand-alone strategy, as well as versatile enough to incorporate multiple other trading strategies on top of supply and demand .
However, in order for this indicator to be utilized by you at its full potential, it is important that you understand all of its features, capabilities and configuration options before you dive into trading.
Exhaustion ZonesOur Indicator “Exhaustion Zones” offers an insight into the expected Volatility of any given Instrument applied to. Understanding Volatility is essential for using this Indicator. If you are familiar with the concept, then you will most likely find this indicator useful in your trading. If you are unfamiliar with the concept and are interested in this topic, then continue reading a “Brief Concept of Volatility” at the end of the description, where we will provide some informational Links.
This description will provide a High Level description of how our Indicator identifies and visualizes Exhaustion Zones, followed by how to use the Indicator in your trading. At the end we would like to introduce our team and experience.
High Level Description of “Exhaustion Zones”:
Our indicator is predicting the expected market volatility for a predefined period based on recent historical Volatility, which will be referred to as “Period Volatility” from now on. Currently there are two Predefined Periods…
...a daily period, which starts from 21 UTC for the next 24 hours.
...a weekly period, which starts from Sunday 21 UTC for the next 7 days.
Our indicator calculates an expected volatility for the respective period and informes you, the trader, how large the price range could be. The indicator calculates “Exhaustion Zones” using the Period Volatility, which is a multiple (1x, 2x and 3x) of the Period Volatility, based on the Period High/Low. Basically, adding the multiple of the Period Volatility to the Period Low would equate to the “Upper Exhaustion Zones”, and subtracting the multiple of the Period Volatility from the Period High would equate to the “Lower Exhaustion Zones”.
Visualisation:
Our indicator needs to display 2 states …
…price range is SMALLER than predicted Period Volatility. An example would be, a daily period has just begun, and the Daily range is small, hence the Daily range is smaller than the predicted Period Volatility. This state will be referred to as “Moving Exhaustion Zones”
...price range is GREATER than predicted Period Volatility. An example would be, a market has experienced a shock leading to a huge price change and exceeding the Period Volatility. This state will be referred to as “Locked Exhaustion Zones”
What do the Boxes mean:
Our Indicator displays 2 different Periods - Daily and Weekly. The Daily period is displayed with a red accent color, whereas a weekly Period has a yellow accent.
The Boxes themself display the “Exhaustion Zones”. Each period displays upto 4 Exhaustion Zones - 2 Upper Exhaustion Zones, 2 Lower Exhaustion Zones, each having a “Zone 0” and “Zone 1”.
Moving Exhaustion Zones
Moving Exhaustion Zones displays 4 Exhaustion Zones. These Zones are based on the Period High/Low and are NOT locked, and can still be redrawn. As prices make new Period Highes and Lows, exhaustion Zones will be adjusted. This state is visualized by the Open Lock on the right side of the current Exhaustion Zone.
Locked Exhaustion Zones
Locked Exhaustion Zones display 2 Exhaustion Zones and a dashed Line. Price has made its move and has exceeded predicted Period Volatility. Exhaustion Zones are locked and will NOT be repainted from now on. This state is visualized by the closed Lock on the right side of the current Exhaustion Zone.
How to use it:
The Exhaustion Zones indicator is a mean reverting Indicator. That being said, when Price approaches/enters a Zone, the assumption is that Price will either slow down, or reverse.
The Exhaustion Zone is displayed as 2 Sub-Zones: Zone 0 and Zone 1. As Price continues through the Zones without a reversal, the potential for a reversal increases.
We recommend using this Indicator with a reversal Trading Strategy familiar to you.
Furthermore, this Indicator is well suited as a Target. You can use the Exhaustion Zones to define your Target or where you would like to remove partial Profits.
Important
Please note, that the indicator itself just presents price areas where there is a potential for a price reversal, and that these Zones should not be traded blindly
Time frame:
This indicator is programmed to be used on all Timeframes lower than Weekly Timeframes.
Instruments:
This indicator aims to visualize areas of where Market price has the potential to reverse, hence making this a mean reverting Indicator.
Taking this statement to account, it is recommended to apply this Indicator to Instruments with a mean reverting character.
Examples of mean reverting markets could be for example …
...all FOREX instruments, as FOREX is considered a mean reverting Market.
...an instrument that is in a consolidation, or which you are expecting to enter a period of consolidation.
Indicator settings and configuration:
The Indicator has no functional parameters, to reduce User error, and only has visual parameters. The color of the Zones can be tailored to your liking.
Furthermore you have decided what you would like to display on your chart:
… Display Weekly Zones
...Display Daily Zones
...Show History
...Show Zone States.
