1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.

Zen ABR### **Average Bar Range (ABR) Levels** – A Simple Yet Powerful Scalping Tool
The **ABR Levels** indicator dynamically calculates the **average bar range** and plots three key levels on your chart:
✅ **0.5x ABR** – Half the average bar range
✅ **1x ABR** – The full average bar range
✅ **2x ABR** – Double the average bar range
This provides an **instant volatility gauge**, helping traders adjust position size, stop losses, and targets **based on current market conditions** rather than arbitrary numbers.
### **How It Works**
- The indicator calculates **the average range of the last 8 bars** (default setting, adjustable).
- The **ABR levels update in real time**, appearing in the **top-right corner of your chart** for easy reference.
- Works across **any instrument and timeframe** – great for scalpers and intraday traders.
### **Why Use ABR Levels?**
🚀 **Avoid oversized losses** – Trade dynamically instead of using fixed stops and targets.
📉 **Recognize shifts in market conditions** – Identify when volatility is expanding or contracting.
🎯 **Refine your entries & exits** – Use ABR levels to **scale** your positions intelligently.
### **Pro Tip:**
Never enter a trade **aiming for half-R** profits. If a trade goes badly, **you might manage it to break even or half-R**, but aiming for tiny wins will **wreck your long-term edge**.

Uwen FX: UWEN StrategyThis Pine Script defines a trading indicator called "Uwen FX: UWEN Strategy" Where ideas coming from Arab Syaukani and modified by Fiki Hafana. It combines a CCI-based T3 Smoothed Indicator with a MACD overlay. Here's a breakdown of what it does:
Key Components of the Script:
1. CCI (Commodity Channel Index) with T3 Smoothing
Uses a T3 smoothing algorithm on the CCI to generate a smoother momentum signal. The smoothing formula is applied iteratively using weighted averages. The final result (xccir) is plotted as a histogram, colored green for bullish signals and red for bearish signals.
2. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
The MACD is scaled to match the range of the smoothed CCI for better visualization. Signal Line and MACD Line are plotted if showMACD is enabled. The normalization ensures that MACD values align with the CCI-based indicator.
3. Bar Coloring for Trend Indication
Green bars indicate a positive trend (pos = 1).
Red bars indicate a negative trend (pos = -1).
Blue bars appear when the trend is neutral.
How It Can Be Used:
Buy Signal: When the xccir (smoothed CCI) turns green, indicating bullish momentum.
Sell Signal: When xccir turns red, indicating bearish momentum.
MACD Confirmation: Helps confirm the trend direction by aligning with xccir.
I will add more interesting features if this indicator seems profitable
CBA Block Tops/Bottoms w/TableHow It Works
Separate Block Sizes & Pre-Calculations: • Two inputs let you set the TOP block size and the BOTTOM block size independently (default both 5). • The script pre-calculates the highest high over the TOP block and the lowest low over the BOTTOM block using ta.highest and ta.lowest.
Horizontal Line Customization: • Users can toggle each horizontal line on or off (via showTopLine and showBottomLine). • Colors, widths, and line styles (Solid, Dotted, or Dashed) for TOP and BOTTOM lines are customizable with separate inputs. • When a block ends, if the corresponding line is enabled, a horizontal line is drawn using the user‑selected parameters.
Array Storage and Averaging: • The script appends each block’s TOP value to the tops array and each BOTTOM value to the bottoms array, keeping their sizes to a maximum defined by the lookback (default 25). • A helper function, f_avg(), safely computes the average of the array values.
Table Display: • A table is created with three columns: an index column (with fixed labels “Active”, “Prev”, “Prev-2”, “Prev-3”, “Prev-4”, “Avg”), a TOP column, and a BOTTOM column. • The first five rows display the most recent TOP and BOTTOM signals (“Active” being the most recent), and the final row shows the average values.
This code gives you full control over both the TOP and BOTTOM block calculations and the appearance of their horizontal lines, all while presenting the data in an informative table.
Daily Standard Deviation (fadi)The Daily Standard Deviation indicator uses standard deviation to map out daily price movements. Standard deviation measures how much prices stray from their average—small values mean steady trends, large ones mean wild swings. Drawing from up to 20 years of data, it plots key levels using customizable Fibonacci lines tied to that standard deviation, giving traders a snapshot of typical price behavior.
These levels align with a bell curve: about 68% of price moves stay within 1 standard deviation, 95% within roughly 2, and 99.7% within roughly 3. When prices break past the 1 StDev line, they’re outliers—only 32% of moves go that far. Prices often snap back to these lines or the average, though the reversal might not happen the same day.
How Traders Use It
If prices surge past the 1 StDev line, traders might wait for momentum to fade, then trade the pullback to that line or the average, setting a target and stop.
If prices dip below, they might buy, anticipating a bounce—sometimes a day or two later. It’s a tool to spot overstretched prices likely to revert and/or measure the odds of continuation.
Settings
Open Hour: Sets the trading day’s start (default: 18:00 EST).
Show Levels for the Last X Days: Displays levels for the specified number of days.
Based on X Period: Number of days to calculate standard deviation (e.g., 20 years ≈ 5,040 days). Larger periods smooth out daily level changes.
Mirror Levels on the Other Side: Plots symmetric positive and negative levels around the average.
Fibonacci Levels Settings: Defines which levels and line styles to show. With mirroring, negative values aren’t needed.
Overrides: Lets advanced users input custom standard deviations for specific tickers (e.g., NQ1! at 0.01296).
Quarterly Theory ICT 02 [TradingFinder] True Open Session 90 Min🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system built on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts and fractal time. It divides time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), and is designed based on the consistent repetition of these phases across all trading timeframes (annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even shorter trading sessions).
Each cycle consists of four distinct phases: the first phase (Q1) is the Accumulation phase, characterized by price consolidation; the second phase (Q2), known as Manipulation or Judas Swing, is marked by initial false movements indicating a potential shift; the third phase (Q3) is Distribution, where price volatility peaks; and the fourth phase (Q4) is Continuation/Reversal, determining whether the previous trend continues or reverses.
🔵 How to Use
The central concept of this strategy is the "True Open," which refers to the actual starting point of each time cycle. The True Open is typically defined at the beginning of the second phase (Q2) of each cycle. Prices trading above or below the True Open serve as a benchmark for predicting the market's potential direction and guiding trading decisions.
The practical application of the Quarterly Theory strategy relies on accurately identifying True Open points across various timeframes.
True Open points are defined as follows :
Yearly Cycle :
Q1: January, February, March
Q2: April, May, June (True Open: April Monthly Open)
Q3: July, August, September
Q4: October, November, December
Monthly Cycle :
Q1: First Monday of the month
Q2: Second Monday of the month (True Open: Daily Candle Open price on the second Monday)
Q3: Third Monday of the month
Q4: Fourth Monday of the month
Weekly Cycle :
Q1: Monday
Q2: Tuesday (True Open: Daily Candle Open Price on Tuesday)
Q3: Wednesday
Q4: Thursday
Daily Cycle :
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asian session)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (True Open: Start of London Session)
Q3: 06:00 - 12:00 (NY AM)
Q4: 12:00 - 18:00 (NY PM)
90 Min Asian Session :
Q1: 18:00 - 19:30
Q2: 19:30 - 21:00 (True Open at 19:30)
Q3: 21:00 - 22:30
Q4: 22:30 - 00:00
90 Min London Session :
Q1: 00:00 - 01:30
Q2: 01:30 - 03:00 (True Open at 01:30)
Q3: 03:00 - 04:30
Q4: 04:30 - 06:00
90 Min New York AM Session :
Q1: 06:00 - 07:30
Q2: 07:30 - 09:00 (True Open at 07:30)
Q3: 09:00 - 10:30
Q4: 10:30 - 12:00
90 Min New York PM Session :
Q1: 12:00 - 13:30
Q2: 13:30 - 15:00 (True Open at 13:30)
Q3: 15:00 - 16:30
Q4: 16:30 - 18:00
Micro Cycle (22.5-Minute Quarters) : Each 90-minute quarter is further divided into four 22.5-minute sub-segments (Micro Sessions).
True Opens in these sessions are defined as follows :
Asian Micro Session :
True Session Open : 19:30 - 19:52:30
London Micro Session :
T rue Session Open : 01:30 - 01:52:30
New York AM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 07:30 - 07:52:30
New York PM Micro Session :
True Session Open : 13:30 - 13:52:30
By accurately identifying these True Open points across various timeframes, traders can effectively forecast the market direction, analyze price movements in detail, and optimize their trading positions. Prices trading above or below these key levels serve as critical benchmarks for determining market direction and making informed trading decisions.
🔵 Setting
Show True Range : Enable or disable the display of the True Range on the chart, including the option to customize the color.
Extend True Range Line : Choose how to extend the True Range line on the chart, with the following options:
None: No line extension
Right: Extend the line to the right
Left: Extend the line to the left
Both: Extend the line in both directions (left and right)
Show Table : Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info : Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
The Quarterly Theory ICT, by dividing time into four distinct quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and emphasizing the concept of the True Open, provides a structured and repeatable framework for analyzing price action across multiple time frames.
The consistent repetition of phases—Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal—allows traders to effectively identify recurring price patterns and critical market turning points. Utilizing the True Open as a benchmark, traders can more accurately determine potential directional bias, optimize trade entries and exits, and manage risk effectively.
By incorporating principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time, this strategy enhances market forecasting accuracy across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and shorter trading sessions. This systematic approach helps traders gain deeper insight into market structure and confidently execute informed trading decisions.

Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks (fadi)Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks indicator provides a new approach to understanding price action using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts related to candle blocks to analyze the market behavior and eliminate much of the noise created by the price action.
This indicator is not intended to provide trade signals, it is designed to provide the traders with to support their trading strategies and add clarity where possible.
There are currently three main elements to this indicator:
Market Structure
Order Blocks
Liquidity Voids
Market Structure
In trading, market structure is often identified by observing higher highs and higher lows. An uptrend is characterized by a series of higher highs, where each peak surpasses the previous one, and higher lows, where each trough is higher than the preceding one. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by lower highs and lower lows.
Other indicators usually determine these peaks by calculating the highest or lowest levels within a predefined number of candles. For example, identifying the highest price level within the last 15 candles and marking it as a higher high or a lower high. While this approach offers some structure to price action, it can be arbitrary and random due to price fluctuations and the lack of proper structure analysis beyond finding the highest peaks and valleys within candle ranges.
In his 2022 mentorship, episode 12, ICT introduced an alternative approach focusing on three-candle pivots called Short Term High and Low (STH/STL), which are then used to calculate the Intermediate Term High and Low (ITH/ITL), and in turn, the Long Term High and Low (LTH/LTL). ICT’s approach provides better structure than the traditional method mentioned above. However, it can be confusing and difficult to track. There are great indicators that track and label ICT’s levels, but traders still find it challenging to follow and understand.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator takes a unique approach by analyzing candle formations, using ICT concepts, to identify possible turning points that mimic a real trader’s analysis of price action as closely as possible. However, it should be expected that Market Makers may use market manipulation to induce traders to make failed trades, and no tooling can eliminate these situations.
Advanced Market Structure tracks true Peaks and Valleys as they form, confirms them, and marks the chart with corresponding labels using traditional labeling methods (HH/HL/LH/LL), as such labeling makes it easier for traders to follow and understand. The indicator also draws levels to help identify possible liquidity areas and trade targets.
The indicator uses different calculation methods for the different type of market structure length, however all calculations are based on the same ICT candle blocks concepts.
Market Structure Settings
Other than the display settings, there are four (4) settings, mainly under the Level Settings section.
Allow Nested Candles
This option is only available on the Short Market Structure due to the methods used in calculating highs and lows. When used, the indicator will attempt to detect smaller fluctuations in price by tracking smaller candle moves, if any.
Level Settings
Level Settings allows the trader to decide two main calculations:
1. A new pivot point will form when a candle’s is crossed by the following candle’s
2. For a liquidity sweep and marking a level as mitigated, a candle’s must cross that level
Order Blocks
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) defines an Order Block as the last down-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant upward price move or the last up-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant downward price move. These key price levels, marked by substantial buy or sell orders from institutional traders or "smart money," create a block or zone on the price chart. When the price revisits these levels, it often leads to a strong market reaction. Order Blocks can consist of one or multiple consecutive candles of the same color, signaling areas of significant buying or selling interest. ICT's approach to Order Blocks provides traders with a structured method to identify potential areas of support or resistance, where price movements are more likely to change direction. Although ICT has shared some criteria for identifying Order Blocks publicly, the full details are reserved for his upcoming books. This indicator leverages the publicly available information to provide traders with valuable insights into these crucial price levels.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator is designed to be highly flexible, allowing traders to define their own combination of rules for identifying Order Blocks, thus customizing it to fit their unique trading strategies.
Order Block Configuration
Can be nested
An Order Block is defined as the last down candle or candles before a strong move higher, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks. However, larger-than-usual candles resulting from news events or price action may not qualify as Order Blocks and can mute any Order Block within their range.
The "Can be nested" flag ensures that each Order Block is treated as an independent entity, even if it appears within the body of another Order Block.
Forms at swing point
Order Blocks formed at swing points typically have higher probabilities but are less frequent, assuming the same rules are applied. Additionally, Order Blocks at swing points may become Breaker and Mitigation blocks if they fail, providing more trading opportunities.
Forms a simple pivot point
A simple pivot point corresponds to ICT Short Term High and Low (STH/STL). Order Blocks using simple pivot points can occur in the middle of a move, not just at swing points. These are useful for identifying IOFED setups and supporting blocks that can bolster the price move.
Causes Market Structure Shift
Order Blocks that result in a break above or below a short swing point can help narrow down target order blocks, but they are less frequent. An Order Block causing a break above or below a pivot point does not necessarily indicate a strong Order Block. For example, an Order Block formed at a Lower Low is more likely to fail in a downtrend.
A clean close above order block
When the first candle breaks above an Order Block and closes above its high, this indicates a stronger Order Block. On the other hand, if a candle merely wicks through the Order Block without a solid close above it, it suggests a weaker Order Block. This may indicate hesitation or an impending reversal, as the wick represents a temporary and unsustained price movement.
Has displacement more than X the body
While some traders may capitalize on the initial break above an Order Block's CISD level, others prefer to focus on the return to an Order Block after displacement. Displacement is determined by the body size of the Order Block, and an Order Block cannot be tested until this level has been achieved.
Has a Fair Value Gap
When an Order Block is combined with a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it signifies a strong Order Block. The Fair Value Gap indicates a strong price movement away from the Order Block.
Has a liquidity void
A Liquidity Void occurs when two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap, creating a gap similar to a Fair Value Gap, but involving one or more middle candles. Liquidity Voids can be utilized in combination with, or as an alternative to, the displacement setting.
Maximum number of OBs
The maximum number of Order Blocks to display.
Mitigated at block’s
An Order Block is considered mitigated when price reaches one of the main Order Block levels.
Liquidity Void
Liquidity Void refers to areas on a price chart where there is one-sided trading activity. This phenomenon occurs when the price of an asset moves sharply in one direction, leaving gaps where two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap. These gaps can comprise one or more middle candles and indicates a pronounced lack of trading within that price range. Liquidity Voids are important because they highlight areas of minimal resistance, where price is more likely to return to fill the void and balance the market.
Liquidity Void vs Fair Value Gap
While both concepts are related to gaps in price action, they are distinct. A Fair Value Gap is a specific three-candle pattern where the middle candle creates a gap between the first and third candles. In contrast, a Liquidity Void represents a broader area on the chart where there is little to no trading activity, often encompassing multiple candles and indicating a more pronounced imbalance between buy and sell orders.
A FVG can be part of a Liquidity Void, a Liquidity Void can exist without necessarily including an FVG. Both concepts highlight areas of minimal resistance and potential price movement, but they differ in their formation and implications.
Advanced Market Structure and Order Blocks indicator focus on liquidity voids since a liquidity void can substitute for a FVG and it is usually less addressed by other indicators.

Quarterly Theory ICT 01 [TradingFinder] XAMD + Q1-Q4 Sessions🔵 Introduction
The Quarterly Theory ICT indicator is an advanced analytical system based on the concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and fractal time. It divides time into quarterly periods and accurately determines entry and exit points for trades by using the True Open as the starting point of each cycle. This system is applicable across various time frames including annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions.
Time is divided into four quarters: in the first quarter (Q1), which is dedicated to the Accumulation phase, the market is in a consolidation state, laying the groundwork for a new trend; in the second quarter (Q2), allocated to the Manipulation phase (also known as Judas Swing), sudden price changes and false moves occur, marking the true starting point of a trend change; the third quarter (Q3) is dedicated to the Distribution phase, during which prices are broadly distributed and price volatility peaks; and the fourth quarter (Q4), corresponding to the Continuation/Reversal phase, either continues or reverses the previous trend.
By leveraging smart algorithms and technical analysis, this system identifies optimal price patterns and trading positions through the precise detection of stop-run and liquidity zones.
With the division of time into Q1 through Q4 and by incorporating key terms such as Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, this system enables traders to identify market trends and make informed trading decisions using real data and precise analysis.
♦ Important Note :
This indicator and the "Quarterly Theory ICT" concept have been developed based on material published in primary sources, notably the articles on Daye( traderdaye ) and Joshuuu . All copyright rights are reserved.
🔵 How to Use
The Quarterly Theory ICT strategy is built on dividing time into four distinct periods across various time frames such as annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even 90-minute sessions. In this approach, time is segmented into four quarters, during which the phases of Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal appear in a systematic and recurring manner.
The first segment (Q1) functions as the Accumulation phase, where the market consolidates and lays the foundation for future movement; the second segment (Q2) represents the Manipulation phase, during which prices experience sudden initial changes, and with the aid of the True Open concept, the real starting point of the market’s movement is determined; in the third segment (Q3), the Distribution phase takes place, where prices are widely dispersed and price volatility reaches its peak; and finally, the fourth segment (Q4) is recognized as the Continuation/Reversal phase, in which the previous trend either continues or reverses.
This strategy, by harnessing the concepts of fractal time and smart algorithms, enables precise analysis of price patterns across multiple time frames and, through the identification of key points such as stop-run and liquidity zones, assists traders in optimizing their trading positions. Utilizing real market data and dividing time into Q1 through Q4 allows for a comprehensive and multi-level technical analysis in which optimal entry and exit points are identified by comparing prices to the True Open.
Thus, by focusing on keywords like Quarterly Theory ICT, True Open, Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, Continuation/Reversal, ICT, fractal time, smart algorithms, technical analysis, price patterns, trading positions, stop-run, and liquidity, the Quarterly Theory ICT strategy acts as a coherent framework for predicting market trends and developing trading strategies.

Table Display Mode: Enables or disables the ability to display cycle information in a tabular format.
Show Table: Determines whether the table—which summarizes the phases (Q1 to Q4)—is displayed.
Show More Info: Adds additional details to the table, such as the name of the phase (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation/Reversal) or further specifics about each cycle.
🔵 Conclusion
Quarterly Theory ICT provides a fractal and recurring approach to analyzing price behavior by dividing time into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) and defining the True Open at the beginning of the second phase.
The Accumulation, Manipulation (Judas Swing), Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases repeat in each cycle, allowing traders to identify price patterns with greater precision across annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and even micro-level time frames.
Focusing on the True Open as the primary reference point enables faster recognition of potential trend changes and facilitates optimal management of trading positions. In summary, this strategy, based on ICT principles and fractal time concepts, offers a powerful framework for predicting future market movements, identifying optimal entry and exit points, and managing risk in various trading conditions.
[TehThomas] - ICT Volume ImbalanceThis script is a Volume Imbalance (VI) detector and visualizer for use on the TradingView platform. The goal of the script is to automatically identify areas where there are significant imbalances in the volume of trades between consecutive candlesticks and visually highlight these areas. These imbalances can provide traders with valuable insights about the market’s current condition, often signaling potential reversal or continuation points based on price and volume action.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Concept of Volume Imbalances
Volume imbalances are a critical concept in the ICT trading methodology. They refer to situations where there is an unusual or significant difference in volume between two consecutive candlesticks, which might indicate institutional or large player activity. According to ICT principles, these imbalances can show us areas of market inefficiency or potential price manipulation. By identifying these imbalances, traders can gain an edge in understanding where the market is likely to move next.
Bullish and Bearish Volume Imbalances:
Bullish Volume Imbalance: This occurs when there is a strong increase in buying pressure, typically indicated by a higher volume on a candle that closes significantly above the previous one, often leaving a gap or larger price movement. The market could be preparing to push higher, and the volume shows a clear shift in buying demand.
Bearish Volume Imbalance:
Conversely, a bearish imbalance occurs when there is a strong increase in selling pressure, typically signaled by a candle that closes significantly lower than the previous one, again with higher volume. This could indicate that large players are offloading positions, and the price is likely to drop further.
Key Features and Functions of the Script
The script automates the process of detecting these volume imbalances and visually marking them on a price chart. Let’s explore its functionality in detail.
1. Inputs Section
The script allows for significant customization through its input options, which help traders adjust the detection and visualization of volume imbalances based on their individual preferences and trading style. Below are the details:
lookback (250 bars): This input specifies the number of bars (or candles) the script should look back when analyzing the volume imbalance. By setting this to 250, the user is looking at the last 250 bars on the chart to detect any significant volume imbalances. This period is adjustable between 50 to 500 bars.
volumeThreshold (1.0 multiplier): This input helps set the sensitivity for identifying volume imbalances. The script compares the volume of the current candle with the previous one, and if the current volume exceeds the previous volume by this threshold multiplier (in this case, 1.0 means at least equal to the previous volume), then it triggers an imbalance. Users can adjust the multiplier to suit different market conditions.
showBoxes (true/false): This toggle determines whether the boxes representing volume imbalances are drawn on the chart. When enabled, the script visually highlights the imbalances with colored boxes.
fillBaseColor (orange with 80% opacity): This is the color setting for the background of the imbalance boxes. A softer color (like orange with opacity) ensures the imbalance is highlighted without obscuring the price action.
borderColor (gray): The color of the border around the imbalance boxes. This adds a visual distinction to make the imbalance areas more visible.
borderWidth (1 pixel): This controls the width of the box's border to adjust how prominent it appears.
rightOffset (30 bars): This input controls how far the imbalance box extends to the right on the chart. It helps users anticipate the potential continuation of the imbalance beyond the current candle.
allowWickOverlap (true/false): This setting allows imbalances to be identified even if the wicks of the two consecutive candlesticks overlap. If set to false, only imbalances where the bodies of the candlesticks don’t overlap are considered.
showBrokenBoxes (true/false): If enabled, once a volume imbalance no longer holds true (i.e., the price breaks through the box), the box is marked as "broken." If disabled, the box is deleted when the imbalance condition no longer applies.
brokenBoxColor (red): This controls the color of the box when it is broken, which can be used as a visual cue that the imbalance was invalidated or no longer valid for analysis.
2. Volume Imbalance Function
This is the core function of the script, where the logic to detect bullish and bearish volume imbalances is implemented.
Bullish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the low of the current candle is greater than the high of the previous candle. This suggests that the market is moving upward with buying pressure.
The second condition checks whether the volume of the current candle is higher than the previous candle by the volumeThreshold multiplier. If both conditions are satisfied, a bullish imbalance is detected.
Bearish Imbalance Condition:
The first condition checks if the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests downward price action with selling pressure.
The second condition checks whether the current volume exceeds the previous volume by the threshold
Allow Wick Overlap: If allowWickOverlap is set to true, the script will still detect imbalances if the wicks of the two candles overlap (common in volatile markets). If false, imbalances are only considered if the wicks do not overlap.
3. Box Creation and Management
When a volume imbalance is detected, the script creates a box on the chart:
The bullish imbalance box is drawn using the minimum of the open and close of the current bar as the top boundary and the maximum of the open and close of the previous bar as the bottom boundary.
Conversely, the bearish imbalance box is drawn in reverse, using the maximum of the current bar’s open and close as the top boundary and the minimum of the previous bar’s open and close as the bottom boundary.
Once the box is created, it is displayed on the chart with the specified background color, border color, and width.
4. Processing Existing Boxes
After detecting a new imbalance and drawing a box, the script checks whether the box should still remain on the chart:
If the price moves beyond the boundaries of the imbalance box, the box is marked as broken (if showBrokenBoxes is enabled), and its color is changed to red, signifying that the imbalance is no longer valid.
If the box remains intact (i.e., the price has not broken the defined boundaries), the script keeps the box extended to the right as the market continues to evolve.
5. Removing Outdated Boxes
Lastly, the script removes boxes that are older than the specified lookback period. For example, if a box was created 250 bars ago, it will be deleted after that period. This ensures the chart stays clean and only focuses on relevant imbalances.
Why This Script is Useful for Traders
This script is extremely valuable for traders, especially those following the ICT methodology, because it automates the process of detecting market inefficiencies or imbalances that might signal future price action. Here’s why it’s particularly useful:
Identifying Key Areas of Interest: Volume imbalances often point to areas where institutional or large-scale traders have entered the market. These areas could provide clues about the next significant move in the market.
Visualizing Market Structure: By automatically drawing boxes around volume imbalances, the script helps traders visually identify potential areas of support, resistance, or turning points, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.
Time Efficiency: Instead of manually analyzing each candlestick and volume spike, this script does the heavy lifting, saving traders valuable time and allowing them to focus on other aspects of their strategy.
Enhanced Trade Entries and Exits: By understanding where volume imbalances are occurring, traders can time their entries (buying during bullish imbalances and selling during bearish ones) and exits (as imbalances break) more effectively, thus improving their chances of success.
Conclusion
In summary, this script is a powerful tool for traders looking to implement volume imbalance strategies based on the ICT methodology. It automates the identification and visualization of significant imbalances in price and volume, offering traders a clear visual representation of potential market turning points. By customizing the settings, traders can tailor the script to their preferred timeframes and sensitivity, making it a flexible and effective tool for any trading strategy.

OBV Trend Bands [Alpha Extract]OBV Trend Bands 📊
The OBV Trend Bands indicator leverages On-Balance Volume (OBV) to assess trend strength and potential reversals by plotting a dynamic median line alongside upper and lower bands based on standard deviation. This tool helps traders identify overbought or oversold conditions and visualize OBV momentum relative to historical trends.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator calculates OBV, a dynamic median of OBV, and standard deviation bands to measure volume-driven momentum:
• OBV: Cumulative volume that adds or subtracts based on price direction.
• Aggregate Median: A smoothed median of OBV over a user-defined lookback period, adjusted by a minimum lookback for robustness.
• Standard Deviation Bands: Upper and lower bands derived from the scaled aggregate median, adjusted by a multiplier.
• Scaled OBV: OBV divided by a customizable scaling factor for better visualization.
Formula:
• OBV = Cumulative sum of volume (positive if price increases, negative if price decreases)
• Aggregate Median = Average of simple medians over a range from minLookbackPeriod to length
• Upper Band = Aggregate Median / Scaling Factor + StdMultiplier * StdDev
• Lower Band = Aggregate Median / Scaling Factor - StdMultiplier * StdDev
🔶 DETAILS
Visual Features:
• OBV Line (Dynamic Color): Plotted with a color that shifts based on its position—green above the upper band (bullish), red below the lower band (bearish), and white between bands (neutral).
• Upper Band (Green): Represents the overbought threshold, lightly shaded for clarity.
• Lower Band (Red): Indicates the oversold threshold, also lightly shaded.
• Aggregate Median Line (Gray): Acts as the central trend reference.
• Fill Areas: Transparent green fill when OBV exceeds the upper band, transparent red fill when below the lower band, and no fill within the bands.
Interpretation:
• Bullish Signal: OBV rises above the upper band, suggesting strong buying pressure and potential trend continuation.
• Bearish Signal: OBV falls below the lower band, indicating selling pressure and possible trend weakness.
• Neutral Zone: OBV between bands reflects consolidation or indecision in the market.
🔶 EXAMPLES
The chart demonstrates:
• Bullish Momentum: OBV crosses above the upper band with a green line and fill, signaling robust accumulation.
• Bearish Momentum: OBV drops below the lower band with a red line and fill, indicating distribution or selling pressure.
• Reversal Points: Transitions of OBV from below the lower band to above the upper band (or vice versa) suggest potential trend shifts.
Example Snapshots:
• A sustained bullish phase where OBV remains above the upper band with consistent green coloring.
• A bearish trend change where OBV falls below the upper band hinting at weakening momentum leading to a change in trend.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
• Median Length (Default: 100): Adjusts the period for calculating the aggregate median, tailoring trend sensitivity.
• Minimum Lookback Period (Default: 30): Sets the shortest period for median aggregation, refining responsiveness.
• Standard Deviation Multiplier (Default: 1.0): Controls the width of the bands—higher values widen them, lower values tighten them.
• Scaling Factor (Default: 100,000): Scales OBV for better chart readability, adjustable based on asset volume.
The OBV Trend Bands indicator is a versatile tool for traders, blending volume analysis with statistical boundaries to effectively pinpoint market extremes and momentum shifts.
Chart Box Session Indicator [The Quant Science]This indicator allows highlighting specific time sessions within a chart by creating colored boxes to represent the price range of the selected session. Is an advanced and flexible tool for chart segmenting trading sessions. Thanks to its extensive customization options and advanced visualization features, it allows traders to gain a clear representation of key market areas based on chosen time intervals.
The indicator offers two range calculation modes:
Body to Body: considers the range between the opening and closing price.
Wick to Wick: considers the range between the session's low and high.
Body To Body
Wick to Wick
Key Features
1. Session Configuration
- Users can select the time range of the session of interest.
- Option to choose the day of the week for the calculation.
- Supports UTC timezone selection to correctly align data.
2. Customizable Visualization
- Option to display session price lines.
- Ability to show a central price line.
- Extension of session lines beyond the specified duration.
3. Design Display Configuration
- Three different background configurations to suit light and dark themes.
- Two gradient modes for session coloring:
- Centered: the color is evenly distributed.
- Off-Centered: the gradient is asymmetrical.
How It Works
The indicator determines whether the current time falls within the selected session, creating a colored box that highlights the corresponding price range. Depending on user preferences, the indicator draws horizontal lines at the minimum and maximum price levels and, optionally, a central line.
During the session:
- The lowest and highest session prices are dynamically updated.
- The range is divided into 10 bands to create a gradient effect.
- A colored box is generated to visually highlight the chosen session.
If the Extend Lines option is enabled, price lines continue even after the session ends, keeping the range visible for further analysis.
This indicator is useful for traders who want to analyze price behavior in specific timeframes. It is particularly beneficial for strategies based on market sessions (e.g., London or New York open) or for identifying accumulation and distribution zones.
cashdata by farashahThis indicator is designed to generate wave charts following the NeoWave method.
NeoWave, developed by Glenn Neely in 1990, offers a scientific and objective approach to wave analysis.
A Cash Data is essential for accurate analysis, requiring highs and lows to be plotted in the exact order they occurred—a process that can be complex and time-consuming.
The indicator automates this process by identifying highs and lows for any symbol and timeframe, plotting them in real-time.
For instance, on a monthly timeframe, it finds yearly highs and lows and arranges them sequentially, forming a "Yearly Wave Chart" for NeoWave analysis.
•Generates Wave Charts for multiple timeframes(yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, minutely).
• Provides real-time auto-updating Wave Charts.
• Supports plotting based on calendar time, bar count, or equal distances.
• Compatible with all account types.
Triangle Reversal IndicatorTriangle Reversal Indicator – A Visual Tool for Identifying Reversal Patterns
This indicator is designed to highlight potential trend reversal moments by comparing the current candle with the previous one. It offers a unique approach by focusing on distinct candle patterns rather than generic trend indicators, making it a valuable addition to your trading toolkit.
How It Works:
For a bullish signal, the indicator checks if:
The current candle is bullish (closing higher than it opens) while the previous candle was bearish.
The current candle’s low breaches the previous bearish candle’s low.
The current candle’s close is above the previous bearish candle’s close.
When these conditions are met, a tiny green triangle is plotted below the candle to signal a potential bullish reversal.
Conversely, for a bearish signal, it verifies if:
The current candle is bearish (closing lower than it opens) following a bullish candle.
The current candle’s high exceeds the previous bullish candle’s high.
The current candle’s close falls below the previous bullish candle’s close.
If all conditions are satisfied, a small red triangle appears above the candle to indicate a potential bearish reversal.
How to Use:
Simply apply the indicator on your chart and look for the tiny triangles that appear above or below the candles. These markers can serve as an additional visual cue when confirming entry or exit points, but it’s best used alongside your other analysis techniques.
Customization Options:
Users can further enhance the script by adding inputs for lookback periods, adjusting the triangle size, or modifying colors to match their chart themes.
PriorRange v0.3 [OmarxQQQ/dc_77]PriorRangeLevels is a versatile indicator that plots key price levels based on prior period ranges across multiple timeframes.

- Customizable display for each level (High, Low, 75%, EQ, 25%, Open)
- Clean, organized settings interface with grouped options
- Anchor line marking the start of prior periods
- Current period open price reference
How It Works:
The indicator detects new periods based on your selected timeframe and calculates the range of the previous period. It then plots horizontal lines at the High, Low, and three internal levels (75%, 50%, 25%) extending forward by your specified number of bars. These levels serve as potential support/resistance zones and decision points for your trading strategy.
Trading Applications:
- Use High/Low levels as potential breakout targets or reversal zones
- Monitor price reaction to the EQ (50%) level to gauge trend strength
- Identify intraday support/resistance based on previous period ranges
- Plan entries and exits around established market structure
Each component can be individually customized with different line styles, colors, and widths to match your chart preferences and analytical needs.

Engulfing Sweeps - Milana TradesEngulfing Sweeps
The Engulfing Sweeps Candle is a candlestick pattern that:
1)Takes liquidity from the previous candle’s high or low.
2)Fully engulfs previous candles upon closing.
3)Indicates strong buying or selling pressure.
4)Helps determine the bias of the next candle.
Logic Behind Engulfing Sweeps
If you analyze this candle on a lower timeframe, you’ll often see popular models like PO3 (Power of Three) or AMD (Accumulation – Manipulation – Distribution).
Once the candle closes, the goal is to enter a position on the retracement of the distribution phase.
How to Use Engulfing Sweeps?
Recommended Timeframes:
4H, Daily, Weekly – these levels hold significant liquidity.
Personally, I prefer 4H, as it provides a solid view of mid-term market moves.
Step1 - Identify Engulfing Sweep Candle
Step 2-Switch to a lower timeframe (15m or 5m).And you task identify optimal trade entry
Look for an entry pattern based on:
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
OB (Order Block)
FIB levels (0/0.25/0.5/ 0.75/ 1)
Wait for confirmation and take the trade.
Automating with TradingView Alerts
To avoid missing the pattern, you can set up alerts using a custom script. Once the pattern forms, TradingView will notify you so you can analyze the chart and take action. This approch helps me be more freedom

The indicator can show Open Gaps (gap between close and open of two trading sessions) also which traders would usually see only on the original chart of an index or security.
The B | N WAHA indicator can help traders to make better entry decisions based on the real market sessions.
█ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER – READ BEFORE YOU USE ⚠️
█ FEATURES
— PATTERN OPTIONS
● Deviation for ratio calculation
Any pattern has a unique set of ratios for different retracements. In a perfect world each ratio would be hit exactly. But the stock market is far from perfect and especially in volatile markets ratios have to be adjusted. The default is 5%. The maximum is 10%
● (Name of pattern)
The list of patters recognized will grow with new versions of the indicator. The settings for each pattern are the same.
Each available pattern will be recognized and drawn by default. If you disable the checkbox in front of the pattern name the indicator will ignore this pattern completely no matter if another checkbox for this pattern is active.
● Developing
As soon as a new possible pattern is recognized, the indicator will draw a label at the starting point (0, A or X) of the pattern. For the indicator “possible” means there is only the last point missing, which is D in case of ABCD and XABCD patterns. Once the last point has reached the completion price range, the indicator will draw the pattern. If you enable this checkbox the indicator will draw a zickzack line between the already existing points.
● Projection
If there is a new possible pattern the indicator will draw a projection box to indicate the price range where the final point has to be located for completion of the pattern. Don’t confuse this with a buy or sell signal! The appearance of the box doesn’t tell anything about the chance of a pattern to get completed. It simply tells you that the price has to reach the box and to retrace within the box to form a valid pattern. This allows you to prepare a strategy if the price hits the box. If you disable the checkbox no box will be drawn.
● History
For backtesting or learning purpose you can display all historical occurrences of a pattern. Best practice is to disable all other patterns and enable the history checkbox only together with the checkbox of the patten name.
— PIVOPOINT OPTIONS
To identify patterns you need pivot points. True high and lows in the chart. If you use B | N GABO or B | N DESC you already know about this concept. The indicator is using three different levels of pivot points in parallel for better detection of patterns.
● Level 1
This is the fast running pivot level. You can choose from 2 to 4. Default is 3.
● Level 2
This is the pivot level with medium pace. Selectable levels are 5 to 9. Default is 5.
● Level 3
This is the slow running pivot level. The minimum level is 10, the maximum is 20. The default is 15.
● Pivotpoints
By default pivot points are not displayed on the chart because this ads a lot of noise. For backtesting and learning purposes you can enable this option.
● Label
● Text
● Size
This three settings define the appearance of the pivot points.
— HARMONIC PATTERN OPTIONS
The settings in this section control how the zickzack line of a pattern gets drawn on the chart. The settings for bullish and bearish pattern are identical.
● Show bullish/bearish pattern
By default both types of patterns are drawn on the chart. For backtesting or learning purpose you can disable it.
● Line
The color of the zickzack lines.
● ABC
The line style to connect points A, B and C.
● CD
The line style to connect points C and D.
● (Line Width)
The width of lines ABC and CD.
● Label
The color of the label for a completed pattern. This label marks starting point.
● Developing
The color of the label while a pattern is developing.
● Text
The color of the text in the label.
● (Text size)
The size of the text.
— HARMONIC PATTERN LABEL OPTIONS
The label which marks the start of a pattern can contain multiple information. To reduce noise on the chart you can disable each information separately. If you disable them all, the label will display the designation of the pattern starting point, e.g. “A” for an ABCD or “X” for an XABCD.
● Title
The title identifies the type of pattern. E.g. a possibly developing ABCD pattern will display ABC at the beginning to denote the point A, B and C have been detected. If this pattern completes the title would change to ABCD in case of a standard ABCD pattern or to AB=CD if the pattern matches all criteria needed for this ‘perfect’ type of ABCD.
● Number
Each pattern carries a unique number needed to identify the projection and targets in case there are multiple patterns in parallel.
● Ratio
First this is the retracement level of point C from point B toward point A. It is the decimal value of the percentage. In a perfect world this would be 0.618 (61.8%). In volatile markets this can be as low as 0.382 and as high as 0.786. If Ratio is enabled BD ratio will get displayed as well once point D is about to complete a ABCD pattern.
● Tooltip
Enabled by default the tooltip shows all the information and more if you hover the mouse pointer over the label.
● Perfect
If the pattern is formed “perfect” it will change its color to denote a possibly strong trend reversal. E.g. a perfect AB=CD is formed if the time and price difference between A and B is equal to the time and price difference between C and D. The calculation contains a 5% deviation to reflect usual market conditions.
— PROJECTION OPTIONS
If the “Projection” checkbox of a pattern is enabled (See PATTERN OPTIONS) the indicator will display the price range where the final point must sit to form a valid pattern. You can customize the box that marks this price range or disable it at all.
● Bull / Bear
The color of the box border.
● (Style)
The line style of the box border.
● Background
The background color of the box.
● Text
The color of the text in the box.
● (Text size)
The size of the text.
— PROJECTION DESCRIPTION OPTIONS
The box which marks the possible landing zone for pattern completion can contain multiple information. To reduce noise on the chart you can disable each information separately.
● Price Range
To complete a pattern successfully point D needs to be located within the minimum and maximum price of the range. For bullish pattern the price range is increasing (e.g. 100 – 120) and for bearish pattern it is decreasing (e.g. 100 – 80).
● Title
The title identifies the type of pattern. E.g. a possibly developing ABCD pattern will display ABC at the beginning to denote the point A, B and C have been detected. If this pattern completes the title would change to ABCD in case of a standard ABCD pattern or to AB=CD if the pattern matches all criteria needed for this ‘perfect’ type of ABCD.
● Number
Each pattern carries a unique number needed to identify the projection and targets in case there are multiple patterns in parallel.
— TARGET OPTIONS
● Display ABCD Targets
Once a pattern is completed the indicator will display multiple price lines for targets or other important price levels. This is enabled by default.
The cosmetic setting are separated for bullish and bearish pattern targets. However they are identical.
● Bull / Bear Line
The color of the target lines.
● (Line style)
The style of the target lines.
● Label
The color of the label which contains information about the target.
● Text
The color of the text in the label.
● (Text size)
The size of the text.
— TARGET LABEL OPTIONS
The target label can contain multiple information. To reduce noise on the chart you can disable each information separately. If you disable all information a blank label will be displayed necessary to hold the tooltip.
● Price
The target price.
● Number
The unique number of the pattern.
● Title
The target identifier.
● Direction
New traders often get confused with bullish and bearish pattern. A small arrow facing down or up will tell them the expected price move to reach the targets.
● Tooltip
If enabled the tooltip shows all the information and more if you hover the mouse pointer over the label.
● Remove if hit
By default target lines and labels will get removed one bar after the price has hit the target. If you disable this option target lines will stay together with the pattern until it gets invalidated.
— DISPLAY OPTIONS
● 2 Decimals
To streamline the appearance of prices they are set to display two decimals only. Numbers get rounded! However, trading currency pairs or crypto assets might need to display the full amount of decimals. In this case simply disable the setting “2 Decimals”.
— ALERT OPTIONS
Bevor you can use alerts in TradingView you have to activate them.
1. Click on the alert button
2. From the first drop down in conditions select B | N WAHA
3. From the third drop down (the one below the first one) select Any alert() function call
4. Skip the expiration if you want the alerts to be active for ever
5. Give The Alert a name or keep the default
6. Click on create
You have to repeat this procedure in every timeframe you use. This is not a limitation of the indicator. This is how TradingView alerts work.
Now you can select the events in the alert options of B | N WAHA you want to get noticed about. Alerts get fired when a bar gets confirmed which is the last close of a bar.
