Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0

FVG-BPR-Candle Volume-v2 [Elykia]FVG-BPR & Volume Z-Score - SMC Enhanced
This indicator is a complete toolkit for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action analysis. It combines three essential elements to identify high-probability zones: Price Inefficiencies (FVG), Balanced Price Ranges (BPR), and Statistical Volume Anomalies (Z-Score).
The goal is simple: Stop trading "blind" levels and start validating every institutional zone with real volume activity.
Key Features
1. 📊 Volume Z-Score (Statistical Analysis):
Colors candles based on volume intensity relative to its historical average (Bollinger/Standard Deviation logic).
Yellow Candles (Z-Score > 2): High volume, significant activity.
Red Candles (Z-Score > 3): Extreme volume, often a sign of "Capitulation" or major impulse.
Circles Option: Displays a circle on extreme candles for enhanced visibility.
2. ⚡ Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Automatically detects imbalance zones (Buy-side & Sell-side).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): Ability to display FVGs from a higher timeframe on your current chart (e.g., H1 FVG on M5 chart).
Dynamic Management: Zones automatically delete once filled (mitigated) to keep the chart clean.
3. 🔄 Balanced Price Ranges (BPR):
Identifies zones where a Bullish FVG and a Bearish FVG overlap.
This is a strong institutional signature indicating aggressive re-pricing. BPRs often act as more reliable support/resistance zones than simple FVGs.
💎 Strategy: "Volume-Backed Rebalancing"
This strategy uses the confluence between SMC structure (FVG/BPR) and Volume confirmation.
1. Zone Identification: Wait for price to form a clear BPR or FVG (M15 or H1 recommended).
2. The Retest (Pullback): Wait for price to return to test this zone. Do not enter blindly (Limit Order), wait for the reaction.
3. Volume Confirmation:
Observe the candle colors within the zone.
If price hits the FVG and a Yellow or Red candle (Volume Z-Score) appears rejecting the zone, this is your signal.
This indicates that institutions are actively defending this level.
4. Entry & Exit: Enter at the close of the volume candle. Place Stop Loss below the FVG/BPR. Target the next liquidity pool (Previous High/Low).

SCOTTGO ORB V1SCOTTGO ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Indicator
The ORB Indicator is a powerful tool for day traders and scalpers, designed to automatically identify and project key price levels based on the market's initial trading activity—the Opening Range (OR).
It helps you quickly visualize the market structure, potential breakout zones, and price targets for the day.
🔑 Key Features & Customization
1. Dynamic Opening Range Calculation
Flexible Time Periods: Easily define your Opening Range using preset times of 5, 15, or 30 minutes. You can also use the International Overrides to set a custom start and end time with a specified timezone.
Visual Range: The indicator automatically calculates and shades the range between the ORB High and ORB Low prices. The Opacity of this shaded box is fully adjustable.
2. Comprehensive Price Targets
The indicator projects multiple levels of price targets (PTs) based on the size of the initial Opening Range, enabling you to set profit targets and manage risk. Targets are grouped for easy toggling:
Default Targets (50%): Visualize the immediate $50\%$ price extension above and below the ORB.
Extended Targets (75%, 100%): View the $75\%$ and full $100\%$ extension levels.
Further Targets (150%, 200%): Explore extended targets for volatile or trending days.
Mid Point: Optional line to display the $50\%$ retracement/midpoint of the ORB itself.
3. Fibonacci Extensions
Access highly relevant price projections using classic Fibonacci ratios:27.2% and 61.8% Extensions: These provide additional high-probability price targets for breakout scenarios.
4. Breakout & Retest Signaling
Entry Signals: Displays on-chart labels for potential ORB Breakouts and subsequent
Retests (BRB), helping you identify high-probability entry points.
Alert Options: Set alerts for simple ORB level crosses or restrict alerts only to confirmed breakout scenarios (Alert only on ORB breakouts).
🎨 Style Customization
All main ORB lines, target levels, and Fibonacci lines can be individually styled (color, thickness, line type) directly within the TradingView Style tab for a personalized chart experience. Dedicated inputs are available for setting colors for 50%, 75%, 100%, and Fibonacci 27.2% / 61.8% levels.
💡 How to Use
1. Set Your ORB Period: Choose the time frame that best suits your market (e.g., 15 minutes is common for US indices).
2. Monitor the Breakout: Once the ORB session ends, wait for the price to break above the ORB High or below the ORB Low.
3. Target and Risk: Use the projected Price Targets to define your potential profit zones, and place stop-losses just inside the ORB range.

ICT Smart Money Trading Suite PRO [SwissAlgo]ICT SMC Trading Suite Pro
Structure Detection. Imbalance Tracking. Trade Planning. Contextual Alerts.
Why This Integrated System Was Built
The ICT/SMC methodology requires tracking multiple analytical components simultaneously - a process prone to manual errors, time inefficiency, and visual clutter . This indicator consolidates these elements into a single, unified system , providing rules-based validation for experienced ICT traders who may struggle with execution speed, consistency, and manual calculations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What This Indicator Does
ICT/SMC methodology involves tracking multiple analytical components simultaneously. This indicator consolidates them into a single system.
Common challenges when applying ICT manually:
1️⃣ Structure Identification
Determining which pivots qualify as external (macro) structure versus internal (micro) structure requires consistent rules. Inconsistent structure identification affects the detection of the relevant trading range for entries , Change of Character (ChoCH) , and Break of Structure (BoS) . Accurate structure identification is paramount ; a faulty reading invalidates the entire ICT thesis for the current swing. While no automated system can replace human judgment, the indicator provides you with a rules-based starting point for structural analysis. The key goal is to help you find and map the relevant structural leg to focus on.
2️⃣ Chart Organization
Drawing Fibonacci retracements, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and other imbalances manually creates visual complexity that can obscure the analysis. The indicator addresses this by striving to show all imbalances in a consistent, unified, and understandable visual way , using color coding and z-order layering to maintain clarity even when multiple components are active.
3️⃣ Imbalance Tracking
ICT methodology requires monitoring a vast array of institutional footprints : Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), Breaker Blocks (BB), Liquidity Pools (LP), Volume Imbalances, Wick Imbalances, and Kill Zone ranges. Tracking all these simultaneously and manually monitoring their mitigation status is highly time-intensive and prone to oversight . The indicator constantly scans and tracks all key imbalance types for you, automatically updating their status and creating a dynamic, real-time visual heatmap of unmitigated institutional inefficiency.
4️⃣ Trade Calculation
Determining structure-based Stop Loss (SL) placement, calculating multiple Take Profit (TP) levels with accurate position-sizing splits, and computing the final blended Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio involves multiple time-sensitive, manual calculations per setup . The indicator automates this entire trade calculation process for you, instantly providing the necessary pricing (entry, SL, TP), sizing, and performance projections, and mitigating the risk of execution error .
5️⃣ Condition Monitoring
ICT setups often require specific technical conditions to align: price reaching discount Fibonacci levels (0.618-0.882 for shorts, 0.118-0.382 for longs), EMA crossovers confirming momentum, or structural shifts (ChoCH/BoS). Identifying these moments requires continuous chart observation across multiple assets and timeframes.
This indicator includes an alert system that monitors these technical conditions and sends notifications when they occur (real-time). The alert system is designed to minimize spam. This allows traders to review potential setups on demand rather than through continuous observation - particularly relevant for those monitoring multiple instruments or trading sessions outside their local timezone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Intended Use
This indicator is designed for traders who:
♦ Apply ICT/SMC methodology - Familiarity with concepts such as Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Liquidity Pools, market structure, and discount/premium zones is assumed. The indicator does not teach these concepts but provides tools to apply them.
♦ Trade on intraday to swing timeframes - The structure detection and Fibonacci zone mapping work across multiple timeframes. Recommended primary timeframe: 1H (adjustable based on trading approach).
♦ Prefer systematic entry planning - The trade calculation feature computes stop loss, take profit levels, and risk-to-reward ratios based on structure and Fibonacci positioning. Suitable for traders who use defined entry criteria.
♦ Monitor multiple instruments or sessions - The alert functionality notifies when specific technical conditions occur (discount zone entries, EMA crossovers, structure changes), reducing the need for continuous manual monitoring.
♦ Use trade execution platforms - The trade summary table displays pre-formatted values (entry, SL, TP levels with quantity splits) that can be manually input into trading platforms or bot services like 3Commas.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
How To Use
Step 1: Structure Analysis
The indicator automatically detects external and internal market structure using pivot analysis. Structure lines are color-coded: red for bearish structure, green for bullish. External pivots are marked with larger triangles, internal pivots with smaller markers. The pivot length parameters (default: 20/20) can be adjusted in settings to align with your structural analysis approach and the asset you are analyzing.
Step 2: Define Your Trading Zone
Use the "Start Swing" and "End Swing" date inputs to mark the beginning and end of the (external) structural leg you wish to analyze. The indicator calculates Fibonacci retracement levels based on these points and color-codes the zones:
* Green zones: Discount area (0.618-0.882 for bearish / 0.118-0.382 for bullish)
* Yellow zones: Premium area (0.786-1.0 for bearish / 0.0-0.214 for bullish)
* Red zones: Extension area beyond structure (potential fake-out zones)
Step 3: Review Imbalances
The indicator identifies and displays multiple imbalance types:
🔥 Volume imbalances (from displacement candles based on PVSRA methodology)
🔥 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
🔥 Order Blocks (OB) and Breaker Blocks (BB)
🔥 Liquidity Pools (LP) at equal highs/lows
🔥 Wick imbalances (exceptional wick formations)
🔥 Kill Zone liquidity from specific trading sessions (Asian, London, NY AM)
Volume Imbalances
Fair Value Gaps
Order Blocks
Liquidity Pools
Wick Imbalances
Kill Zone Imbalances
According to ICT methodology, imbalances act as price magnets - areas where price tends to return for mitigation. When multiple imbalances overlap at the same price level, this creates a confluence zone with a higher probability of price reaction .
Imbalances are displayed as gray boxes , creating a visual heatmap of institutional inefficiencies. When imbalances overlap, the zones appear darker due to layering, and labels combine to show confluence (e.g., "FVG + OB" or "Vol + LP").
Heatmap of Imbalances
User can view each type alone, or all together (heatmap)
Each imbalance type is tracked until mitigated by price according to ICT principles and can be toggled on/off independently in settings.
Step 4: Reference Levels & Sessions
The indicator displays additional reference data:
🔥 Daily Pivot Points (PP, R1-R3, S1-S3) calculated from previous day
🔥Average Daily Range (ADR) projected from the current day's extremes
🔥 Daily OHLC levels: Today's Open (DO), Previous Day High (PDH), Previous Day Low (PDL)
🔥Session backgrounds (optional): Color-coded boxes for Asian, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions
Sessions
While these are not ICT-specific imbalances, they represent widely-watched price levels that often attract institutional activity and can act as additional reference points for support, resistance, and liquidity targeting.
All reference levels can be toggled independently in settings.
Step 5: Momentum Reference
EMA 14 and EMA 21 lines are displayed for momentum analysis. When EMA 14 enters discount zones and crosses EMA 21, a triangle marker appears on the chart. This indicates a potential alignment of structure and momentum conditions.
Step 6: Trade Planning
Input your intended entry price in the "Entry Price" field along with your margin and leverage parameters. The indicator automatically calculates all trade parameters:
* Stop loss level (based on Fibonacci structure - typically at 1.118 extension)
* Three take profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) with position quantity splits
* Risk-to-reward ratio (blended across all three targets)
* Projected profit/loss values in both dollars and percentage
All calculated values are displayed both visually on the chart (as horizontal lines with labels) and in a formatted Trade Summary table. The table organizes the information for quick reference: entry details, take profit levels with quantities, stop loss parameters, and performance projections.
This pre-calculated data can be manually copied into trading platforms or bot services (such as 3Commas Smart Trades) without requiring additional calculations.
Step 7: Alert Configuration
Create alerts using TradingView's alert system (select "Any alert() function call"). The indicator sends notifications when:
* Price reaches specific discount Fibonacci levels (0.618, 0.786, 0.882 for shorts / 0.382, 0.214, 0.118 for longs)
* EMA 14/21 crossovers occur within discount zones
* Change of Character (ChoCH) is detected
* Break of Structure (BoS) is detected
Note: Alerts require active TradingView alert functionality. Update alerts when changing your trading zone parameters.

Alert Functionality
The indicator includes an alert system that monitors technical conditions continuously.
When configured, alerts notify users when specific events occur:
❗ Discount Zone Monitoring
When EMA 14 crosses into key Fibonacci levels (0.618, 0.786, 0.882 for bearish structure / 0.382, 0.214, 0.118 for bullish structure), an alert is triggered. Example: Trading BTC and ETH simultaneously - instead of monitoring both charts for zone entries, alerts notify when either asset reaches the specified level.
❗ Momentum Alignment
When EMA 14 crosses EMA 21 within discount zones, an alert is sent. Example: Monitoring setups across multiple timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) - alerts indicate when momentum conditions align on any timeframe being tracked.
❗ Structure Changes
Change of Character (ChoCH) and Break of Structure (BoS) events trigger alerts. Example: Trading during the Asian session while located in a different timezone - alerts notify of structure changes occurring outside active monitoring hours.
Configuration
Alerts are set up through TradingView's native alert system. Select "Any alert() function call" when creating the alert.
⚠️ Note: Alert parameters are captured at creation time, so alerts must be updated when changing trading zone settings (Start/End Swing dates) or any other parameter.
How to Create Alerts
Step 1: Open Alert Creation
Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in the top toolbar of TradingView, or right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert."
Step 2: Configure Alert Condition
* In the alert dialog, set the Condition dropdown to select this indicator
* Set the alert type to ⚠️ " Any alert() function call "
* This configuration allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on its internal logic
Step 3: Set Alert Timing
* Timeframe: Same as chart
* Expiration: Choose "Open-ended (when triggered)" to keep the alert active until conditions occur
* Message tab: choose a name for the alert
Step 4: Notification Settings
Configure how you want to receive notifications:
* Popup within TradingView
* Email notification
* Mobile app push notification (requires TradingView mobile app)
Step 5: Create
Important Notes:
* Alert parameters are captured at creation time . If you change your trading zone (Start/End Swing dates) or entry price, delete the old alert and create a new one .
* One alert per chart: Create separate alerts for each instrument and timeframe you're monitoring.
* TradingView alert limits apply based on your TradingView subscription tier.
What Triggers Alerts: This indicator sends alerts for four key event types:
1. Discount Zone Entry - EMA 14 crossing key Fibonacci levels
2. Momentum Crossover - EMA 14/21 crossovers within discount zones
3. Change of Character (ChoCH) - Structure reversal detected
4. Break of Structure (BoS) - Trend continuation confirmed
All four conditions are monitored by a single alert configuration .
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Settings
* Timeframe : 1H works well for most assets
* Theme : Dark mode recommended
* Structural Pivots : Default 20/20 captures reasonable structure; adjust to match your analysis

Methodology & Calculation Details
This indicator consolidates multiple ICT/SMC analytical components into a single integrated system. While individual elements could be created separately, this integration provides automated coordination between components , consistency, and reduces chart complexity.
Structure Detection External and internal pivots
Are identified using fractal pivot analysis with configurable lookback periods (default: 20 bars for both). A pivot high is confirmed when the high at the pivot bar exceeds all highs within the lookback range on both sides. Pivot lows use inverse logic. Structure lines connect validated pivots, with color coding based on price direction (higher highs/higher lows = bullish, lower highs/lower lows = bearish).
Fibonacci Retracement Calculation
Users define two swing points via date/time inputs. The indicator calculates the price range between these points and applies standard Fibonacci ratios (0.0, 0.118, 0.214, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 0.882, 1.0, plus extensions at 1.118, 1.272, -0.118, -0.272). Zone classification is based on ICT discount/premium principles: 0.618-1.0 range for bearish setups, 0.0-0.382 for bullish setups.
Imbalance Identification
Volume Imbalances : Detected using PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis) methodology. Candles are classified based on the percentile ranking of volume and price range over a 1344-bar lookback period. Type 1 imbalances require ≥95th percentile in both volume and range; Type 2 requires ≥85th percentile. Additional filters include body-to-range ratio (≥50% for Type 1, ≥30% for Type 2) and ATR validation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Identified when a three-candle sequence shows a price gap: low > high for bullish FVG, high < low for bearish FVG. The middle candle must close beyond the gap edge. Mitigation occurs when the price retraces into the gap.
Order Blocks (OB) : Detected by identifying the last opposing candle before a significant price move. When price breaks a swing high/low, the algorithm scans backwards to find the candle with the highest high (bearish OB) or lowest low (bullish OB) before the breakout. When an OB is breached, it converts to a Breaker Block (BB).
Liquidity Pools (LP) : Identified by detecting equal highs or equal lows using a tolerance threshold based on ATR. Pivot highs/lows within this tolerance range are grouped. Equal highs create Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zones above the level; equal lows create Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zones below the level.
Wick Imbalances: Flagged when a candle's wick exceeds 1.0x ATR and comprises >50% of the total candle range. These represent rapid rejections or absorption events.
Kill Zone Liquidity: Tracks the high/low range during specific ICT-defined sessions (Asian: 19:00-00:00 NY, London: 02:00-05:00 NY, NY AM: 09:30-11:00 NY). At session close, BSL and SSL zones are created above/below the session range.
Change of Character (ChoCH) & Break of Structure (BoS)
ChoCH is detected when price breaks counter to the established structure (bearish structure broken upward = bullish ChoCH; bullish structure broken downward = bearish ChoCH). BoS occurs when price breaks in the direction of the established trend (bearish structure breaking lower = bearish BoS; bullish structure breaking higher = bullish BoS).
Trade Calculations
Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated based on the entry position within the Fibonacci zone structure:
* Premium entries (0.786-1.0 for shorts / 0.0-0.214 for longs): SL at 1.118/-0.118 extension, TP structure weighted toward zone extremes
* Golden entries (0.618-0.786 for shorts / 0.214-0.382 for longs): SL at 1.0/0.0 boundary, TP structure balanced across range
Risk-to-reward ratios are calculated as blended values across all three take profit levels, weighted by position quantity splits.
Reference Level Calculations
* Pivot Points: Standard formula using previous day's high, low, and close: PP = (H + L + C) / 3
* Support/Resistance: R1 = 2×PP - L, S1 = 2×PP - H, with R2/S2 and R3/S3 calculated using range extensions
* ADR: 14-period simple moving average of daily high-low range, projected from current day's extremes
Momentum Analysis
EMA 14 and EMA 21 use standard exponential moving average calculations. Crossovers are detected when EMA 14 crosses EMA 21 within user-defined discount zones, with directional confirmation (cross under in bearish discount = short signal; cross over in bullish discount = long signal).
Why This Integration Matters
While components like EMA crossovers, pivot detection, or Fibonacci retracements exist as separate indicators, this system provides:
1. Coordinated Analysis : All components reference the same structural framework (user-defined trading zone)
2. Automated Mitigation Tracking : Imbalances are monitored continuously and removed when mitigated according to ICT principles
3. Contextual Alerts : Notifications are triggered only when conditions align within the defined structural context
4. Trade Parameter Automation : Stop loss and take profit calculations adjust dynamically based on entry positioning within the structure
5. Consistent Visual Display : All elements use a unified color scheme, labeling system, and z-order layering. This eliminates visual conflicts that occur when stacking multiple independent indicators (overlapping lines, label collisions, inconsistent transparency levels, conflicting color schemes).
This consolidation reduces the need to manually coordinate 8-10 separate indicators, eliminates redundant calculations across disconnected tools, and maintains visual clarity even when all components are displayed simultaneously.

Fair Value Gaps (FVG)This indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the classic 3-candle structure (ICT-style).
It is designed for traders who want clean charts and relevant FVGs only, without the usual clutter from past sessions or tiny, meaningless gaps.
Key Features
• Bullish & Bearish FVG detection
Identifies imbalances where price fails to trade efficiently between candles.
• Automatic FVG removal when filled
As soon as price trades back into the gap, the box is deleted in real time – no more outdated zones on the chart.
• Only shows FVGs from the current session
At the start of each new session, all previous FVGs are cleared.
Perfect for intraday traders who only care about today’s liquidity map.
• Flexible minimum gap size filter
Avoid noise by filtering FVGs using one of three modes:
Ticks (based on market tick size)
Percent (relative to current price)
Points (absolute price distance)
• Right-extension option
Keep gaps extended forward in time or limit them to the candles that created them.
Why This Indicator?
Many FVG indicators overwhelm the chart with zones from previous days or tiny imbalances that don’t matter.
This version keeps things clean, meaningful, and real-time accurate, ideal for day traders who rely on market structure and liquidity.
FVG [Stansbooth]Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
Spot Institutional Imbalances. Trade the Rebalance.
Fair Value Gaps reveal where price moved so aggressively that it left behind untraded zones—areas where smart money is likely to return.
What It Detects
Bullish FVG : Gap between Candle 1's high and Candle 3's low — expect price to retrace here for longs
Bearish FVG : Gap between Candle 1's low and Candle 3's high — watch for shorts on the pullback
Why Traders Love It
Markets hate inefficiency. When price rockets through a zone without proper auction, it creates a magnet for future price action. This indicator automatically identifies these imbalances so you can anticipate high-probability reversal and continuation zones.
Features
Auto-detection of bullish and bearish FVGs
Customizable gap visualization
Works on all timeframes and instruments
Clean, non-repainting logic
Best Used With
Order blocks, liquidity sweeps, and market structure breaks for confluence-based entries aligned with ICT and smart money concepts.
Trade where institutions trade. Let price come to you.
Arkham ORB Indicator 3.815-Minute ORB Breakout Indicator with Volume Confirmation & Dynamic Risk Management
This closed-source indicator identifies high-probability breakout opportunities during the New York session open (8:30-9:30 AM ET) using a systematic Opening Range Breakout methodology combined with volume validation and adaptive volatility-based risk management.
Core Methodology - How It Works
Opening Range Framework
The indicator establishes the Opening Range by tracking the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session (8:30-8:45 AM ET). This range represents the initial price discovery zone where early participants establish equilibrium. Breakouts above the high or below the low signal potential directional moves as liquidity enters the market during the full NY session.
Volume-Based Breakout Validation
To distinguish genuine breakouts from false moves, the indicator employs a rolling volume analysis system. It calculates a 12-period median of volume and applies a 1.2x threshold multiplier. Only price movements accompanied by volume exceeding this threshold are flagged as valid breakout signals. This approach filters out low-conviction breakouts that often occur in choppy, low-participation conditions and significantly reduces false signals at ORB levels.
Adaptive Volatility-Based Stop Loss Calculation
Unlike fixed-point stop losses, this indicator uses a dynamic calculation based on a 10-day lookback of historical ORB ranges. The stop loss is derived by analyzing recent Opening Range sizes and applying a 0.5x multiplier to the average. This creates three key advantages:
Compression adaptation: When recent ORBs shrink (low volatility), stops automatically tighten to reduce risk exposure
Expansion adaptation: When recent ORBs expand (high volatility), stops widen to prevent premature exits on legitimate moves
Hybrid intelligence: The system detects outlier volatility days by comparing current ORB size to the 10-day average. When divergence exceeds 50%, it recognizes abnormal conditions and adjusts stop placement accordingly rather than blindly using historical averages
Multi-Entry Risk Framework
The indicator recognizes that different traders enter at different points relative to the ORB level. It provides simultaneous risk calculations for three entry strategies:
Direct ORB Entry (0-point offset): Immediate breakout entries at the ORB high/low
Pullback Entry 1 (default 5.5 points): Conservative entries waiting for initial retracements
Pullback Entry 2 (default 11.0 points): Deeper retest entries for very conservative approaches
Each entry type displays independently calculated metrics (stop loss distance, contract sizing, take profit levels) that account for the actual entry point's distance from the ORB level. This ensures accurate position sizing and risk/reward ratios regardless of which entry method you use.
Smart Volatility Detection & Alerts
The indicator continuously compares the current day's ORB size against the 10-day historical average. When divergence exceeds a configurable threshold (default 50%), it alerts you to abnormal market conditions:
Compression warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ smaller than average (potential low-volatility trap)
Expansion warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ larger than average (potential news event or unusual volatility)
This allows you to adjust expectations and position sizing based on whether current conditions match your backtested historical environment.
Risk Management Safeguards
Min/Max Stop Loss Caps
To prevent extreme stop placements in unusual conditions:
Minimum stop: 35 points (prevents overly tight stops that get hit by noise)
Maximum stop: 75 points (caps risk exposure during extreme volatility events)
Both caps are fully adjustable and can be toggled on/off
Contract Rounding & Risk Display
The indicator automatically rounds to whole contracts and displays real-time risk metrics including:
Suggested stop loss level (adjusted for entry offset + volatility)
Number of contracts (sized to your account risk parameters)
Suggested take profit level (maintains your configured risk/reward ratio)
Dollar risk and potential profit for each entry type
What Makes This Original
This indicator combines several methodological elements that work together as a cohesive risk management system:
Volume confirmation prevents trading every ORB breakout indiscriminately
Adaptive volatility stops ensure your risk scales with current market conditions, not fixed assumptions
Multi-entry framework provides accurate calculations for various entry styles without requiring separate indicators
Outlier detection warns when today's conditions deviate significantly from your backtested norms
Integrated position sizing removes the mental math from determining contracts and risk/reward
Rather than simply plotting ORB levels or using fixed stops, this system adapts to changing volatility while validating breakouts with participation metrics.

QuantMotions - FVG with Volume TrackingFair Value Gap Detector with Dynamic Shrinking & Volume Analysis
Overview
Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection indicator with real-time box shrinking and volume delta analysis. Automatically identifies price inefficiencies and tracks institutional volume flow within each gap.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so rapidly that a "gap" is left between three consecutive candles, creating an inefficiency where no trading occurred. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones that price tends to revisit.
Detection:
- Bullish FVG: When low > high (upward price inefficiency)
- Bearish FVG: When high < low (downward price inefficiency)
Key Features
Dynamic Box Shrinking
FVG boxes automatically shrink as price enters them:
- Bullish FVGs shrink from top as price moves down into the gap
- Bearish FVGs shrink from bottom as price moves up into the gap
- Provides precise visualization of remaining unfilled gap area
Volume Delta Analysis
Tracks volume characteristics for the 3-candle FVG formation:
- Total Volume: Sum of volume from all three FVG candles
- Up/Down Split: Separates buying vs selling pressure
- Delta %: Shows directional bias of volume flow
- Color Coding: Green/Red when volume confirms direction, Orange when it doesn't
Smart Filtering
- ATR-based minimum gap size - Filters out insignificant noise gaps
- Auto-cleanup - Removes fully filled FVGs automatically
- Maximum display limit - Keeps charts clean by limiting visible FVGs
Live Statistics
Real-time stats table showing:
- Active bullish/bearish FVG count
- Average volume delta for each direction
- Fill progress tracking
Settings
Min Gap Size (ATR): Minimum gap size as multiple of ATR(14). Default: 0.3
- Lower values (0.1-0.3): More sensitive, shows smaller gaps
- Higher values (0.5-1.0): More selective, only significant gaps
Max FVGs: Maximum number of FVG boxes to display (5-100)
Remove Fully Filled: Automatically remove FVGs when price completely fills them
Shrink on Partial Fill: Enable dynamic box shrinking as price enters gaps
Show Volume Info: Display volume delta labels at box edges
How to Use
1. Confluence Trading: Look for FVGs that align with your support/resistance levels
2. Volume Confirmation: Check volume delta - strong directional volume increases probability
3. Partial Fills: Watch for price reactions at shrinking FVG boundaries
4. Multiple Timeframes: Use on higher timeframes (4H+) for swing trading, lower timeframes for scalping
Best Practices
- Combine with trend analysis - FVGs in trend direction have higher fill rates
- Pay attention to volume delta - gaps with confirming volume are more reliable
- Use on liquid markets for accurate volume data
- Higher timeframe FVGs typically carry more significance
Notes
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Volume data accuracy depends on your data provider
- FVGs are not guaranteed support/resistance - use proper risk management
- This indicator shows historical inefficiencies, not future predictions
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.

MTF FVG, OB & Sessions1. Advanced Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
This is the most complex part of the script. Unlike standard FVG indicators that just draw boxes, this module uses Arrays to manage the gaps dynamically.
Dynamic Mitigation: The script tracks every FVG stored in memory. If price trades through an FVG (mitigates it), the script automatically deletes the box.
Option (Wick vs. Close): You can choose to delete the FVG as soon as a wick touches the other side, or only if a candle closes through it.
Displacement Filter: It uses an ATR (Average True Range) multiplier to ensure that only significant, impulsive moves (displacement) generate an FVG, filtering out low-volatility noise.
Confluence (Overlap) Logic: The script checks for overlaps between the three different timeframes (e.g., a 4H FVG inside a Daily FVG).
Alignment Setting: You can set the script to highlight specific boxes only when timeframes align, indicating a stronger level of interest.
3 Monitorable Timeframes: Defaults to 4-Hour, 1-Hour, and 15-Minute, but fully customizable.
2. Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks (OB)
This module identifies potential Order Blocks based on Swing Highs and Swing Lows (Pivot points).
Pivot Detection: It looks for a specific pattern of highs/lows (defined by the "Swing Lookback" input) to identify key reversal points on higher timeframes.
MTF Overlay: It fetches these structures from the 3 defined timeframes and projects them onto your current chart.
Visuals: Draws extended boxes representing the open/close range of the order block candle.
3. Session Liquidity (Highs & Lows)
This module tracks the specific trading sessions to highlight intraday liquidity pools.
Sessions Tracked: Asia, London, and New York.
Behavior:
While the session is active, it tracks the highest and lowest price.
Once the session closes, it draws dashed lines extending forward from that session's High and Low.
Purpose: These levels act as key targets for liquidity sweeps (e.g., price sweeping the London Low before reversing).
Technical Summary
Data Handling: Uses request.security with barmerge.lookahead_on to fetch data from higher timeframes without repainting historical closed bars.
Efficiency: Uses specific types (type OB_Data) and Arrays to handle data efficiently, keeping the script fast despite processing multiple timeframes simultaneously.
Limits: Includes a built-in "Max FVG Storage" and "Delete After X Bars" feature to prevent the chart from becoming too cluttered with old data.
30s Model IndicatorThe Model
The 30s model is a NASDAQ (NQ) scalping strategy based on entries within 30-second fair-value gaps (FVGs), formed after liquidity is taken on a higher timeframe.
What the Indicator Does
The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps: swing highs/lows with at least "Left Pivot" bars to the left, capturing at least one prior swing high/low.
It then detects if a 30s FVG formed within "FVG Distance from Swing" bars of the latest liquidity-taking swing high/low.
If found, it verifies the FVG meets the "Minimum FVG Size" and that forming candles didn't hit the take-profit level.
When conditions match, the FVG is highlighted with entry, take-profit, and stop-loss lines, plus optional price labels. The appearance of all the elements can be customized in the indicator settings.
You can also setup alerts on the indicator that will trigger whenever a valid 30s is formed.

Simple FVG - All GapsUser Guide: Trading with the Simple Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
This document explains how to use the "Simple FVG" indicator to identify market inefficiencies and potential trading opportunities. This tool focuses exclusively on the concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to provide clear, objective levels for entry and price targets.
The core function of this indicator is to visually highlight areas of market inefficiency—Fair Value Gaps—which often act as magnets for future price action, providing clear zones for potential trade entries.
Part 1: Understanding Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a three-candle pattern where the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (or vice-versa) do not overlap. This gap represents an area where price moved quickly, indicating a potential imbalance between buyers and sellers.
Bullish FVG: These gaps are colored Green (default). They occur when the current low is higher than the high of the candle two bars prior.
Interpretation: Bullish FVGs act as potential support . Traders look for price to return to this zone to enter a long (buy) trade.
Bearish FVG: These gaps are colored Red (default). They occur when the current high is lower than the low of the candle two bars prior.
Interpretation: Bearish FVGs act as potential resistance . Traders look for price to return to this zone to enter a short (sell) trade.
Max FVG History: The indicator can display up to 500 of the most recent FVGs on your chart, ensuring you are focused on relevant, recent market structure.
Part 2: Mitigation and Gap Management
FVGs are considered "mitigated" when price re-enters the gap, effectively filling the market inefficiency. The indicator allows you to customize how this mitigation is defined.
Mitigation Type: This setting determines the condition under which an FVG is considered filled and changes color (or is hidden). You can select one of three options:
Touch: The FVG is mitigated when price simply touches the boundary of the gap.
Mid: The FVG is mitigated when price fills 50% of the gap (the default setting).
Full: The FVG is mitigated when price completely fills the entire gap.
Mitigated FVG Display: You can choose whether to display mitigated FVGs.
Show Mitigated FVG: If enabled, mitigated gaps will change color to Gray (default).
Hide Mitigated FVG: If disabled, the gap will disappear from the chart once the mitigation condition is met.
Part 3: Visual Extension Settings
The indicator allows you to control how long the FVG box is drawn on the chart.
Extension Type:
Indefinite: The FVG box will extend to the right until it is mitigated.
Fixed Bars: The FVG box will only extend for a set number of bars, defined by the Extension Bars setting. Note: Even if the visual box disappears, the FVG is still considered active until it is mitigated.
Extension Bars: Sets the number of bars (default is 5) for the visual extension when Fixed Bars is selected.
Trading Strategy Flow with FVG
Identify: Look for a fresh, unmitigated Bullish (Green) or Bearish (Red) FVG.
Wait for Return: Wait for the price to return to the FVG zone.
Execute Trade:
For a Long Trade: Enter when price touches the FVG (ideally at the Mid level) and shows a rejection or reversal pattern.
For a Short Trade: Enter when price touches the FVG (ideally at the Mid level) and shows a rejection or reversal pattern.
Set Stop-Loss: Place your Stop-Loss just outside the FVG zone, or beyond the distal end of the gap.
Set Take-Profit: Target the next major market structure point or the next unmitigated FVG in the direction of your trade.

Đại Ka 3 ATR BandsĐại Ka 3 ATR Bands – The ultimate single-slot indicator that replaces three separate ATR plots.
Designed specifically for ICT/SMC traders in 2025:
• Light red band (±0.5 ATR) → fake moves, Judas Swing, Turtle Soup zone
• Gray band (±1.0 ATR) → normal price action
• Light green band (±2.0 ATR) → real displacement zone → Silver Bullet, SFT, high-probability entries
How to use:
– Price stuck inside red band → expect reversal/fakeout
– Price breaks and closes outside green band + volume spike → enter aggressively in that direction (85%+ win-rate inside Killzones)
Default ATR(14), subtle fills for instant visual filtering of real vs fake moves.
Perfect companion for Order Blocks, FVG, Breaker Blocks and NY/London Killzones.

ID Candle Body % Star Rating + SMC ToolkitThis tool combines strong-body candle detection, trend analysis, SMC-based setups, session levels, VWAP, Donchian Channels and live alerts. It’s built to help you read momentum, structure and volatility on any intraday chart.
1. Strong Body Candle Detection
The script highlights candles with exceptional bodies using three conditions:
• Body is larger than the previous five candles
• Body makes up more than 85% of the entire candle
• Both conditions happening at the same time
These signals help you spot strength or exhaustion in real time.
2. EMA Trend Layer
Three EMAs (50/100/200 by default) plot the overall trend.
When enabled, the area between the fast and slow EMAs fills with a soft color to show bullish or bearish bias at a glance.
3. Bullish and Bearish Setup (ICT-style patterns)
The indicator marks classic two-candle continuation setups:
• Bullish setup with a break above the previous high and an FVG
• Bearish setup with a break below the previous low and an FVG
You can also enable “low break” and “high break” variations to track liquidity sweeps.
Each setup has its own alert option.
4. Four Key Market Sessions
The script plots Asia Open, Midnight Open, London Open and New York Open.
Each session shows:
• A real-time box
• High, low and midpoint
• Optional extended lines projecting forward
These levels often act as reaction zones on lower timeframes.
5. VWAP With Optional Bands
You can anchor VWAP to the session, week, month, quarter or year.
Bands can be calculated using standard deviation or a percentage.
There’s also an option to hide VWAP on higher timeframes.
6. Donchian Channel
A classic 20-period DC is included to provide an additional structure reference for breakouts and trend ranges.
7. Real-Time Alerts
Alerts trigger only once per bar and cover:
• Bullish setup
• Bearish setup
• Liquidity sweep variations
• VWAP star-rating (if enabled in the code block)
Great for traders who monitor multiple pairs.
FVG Snper PRO🎯 FVG Sniper — Fair Value Gap Signal Engine
FVG Sniper is a professional imbalance-based entry tool built around the Nasdaq futures (NQ/MNQ) — but the signal logic is general enough to apply to many liquid instruments (indices, FX, crypto, metals).
It automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), tracks their lifecycle, and fires rule-based long/short signals only when price shows decisive intent away from those imbalances.
🔍 What FVG Sniper Does
Detects FVGs automatically (no pivots)
Uses a strict 3-candle pattern to locate bullish and bearish imbalances directly from price action.
Tracks each FVG over time
For every FVG, FVG Sniper tracks:
When it was created
Whether it has ever been tapped
Whether it has been tapped since the last trade
Whether it has been invalidated (“inversion close”)
Session-gated execution
FVGs can be formed and tapped any time.
Only bars inside a defined signal session (e.g. 09:30–12:00 New York time) are allowed to trigger entries.
FVGs are only eligible if they were created on the same trading day as the signal and after a specific time cutoff (e.g. 08:30 ET).
Tap-aware, breakout-based entries
The indicator looks for:
An FVG that has been tapped at least once since the last signal (if tap is required).
A decisive breakout of the previous bar’s high or low coming off that FVG.
Multi-strategy overlay (for advanced use)
On top of the core engine, FVG Sniper offers several optional “Sniper profiles” (strategies) tuned around:
Session timing (e.g. morning / midday windows)
Volatility regimes
Lane cleanliness / opposite-side structure behavior
Range context (distance from session extremes)
You can toggle these profiles on/off to restrict signals to specific conditions — but the exact internal filters and thresholds are not disclosed.
If at least one profile is enabled, a signal prints when any enabled profile likes the setup.
If no profiles are enabled, FVG Sniper shows the raw base FVG breakout signals from the core engine.
🧠 How to Use It
Primary use case: intraday futures (NQ/MNQ) on 1M timeframe.
FVG Sniper works best as:
A signal engine feeding your execution plans, or
A confirmation layer on top of your own context (HTF bias, news, higher-timeframe levels, etc.).
🎨 Visuals & Controls
Bullish and bearish FVG zones are drawn directly on the chart.
Optional mid-lines through each FVG.
Automatic delete or “fade” behavior when FVGs are invalidated.
Clear long/short markers at the signal bar.
Optional debug label to inspect which FVG produced the signal and key reference times.

Effort HeatmapThe Effort Heatmap visualizes where meaningful, same-direction volume occurred inside an imbalance during strong directional movement.
Instead of analyzing total bar volume or traditional volume-at-price distributions, this tool reconstructs a simplified internal volume profile using lower-timeframe data.
When a Fair Value Gap forms during a high-volume displacement, the script highlights the portions of the imbalance candle where directional effort was concentrated and projects those regions forward as a heatmap.
The purpose of this indicator is not to predict price or represent institutional activity, but to offer a visual way to study how the market delivered volume inside a move that created an imbalance.
How It Works
1. Lower-Timeframe Volume Extraction
The indicator retrieves open, close, and volume data from a selected lower timeframe.
Only sub-candles that move in the same direction as the previous bar are considered, ensuring the heatmap reflects directional effort—not mixed volume.
2. Candle Body Binning
The FVG candle is divided into multiple horizontal bins.
Each lower-timeframe sub-candle contributes volume proportionally to the bins it overlaps, creating a vertical volume distribution for that bar.
3. Imbalance (FVG) Detection
A simple 3-bar displacement logic detects bullish or bearish imbalances.
An optional Z-Score filter ensures the heatmap only forms when volume is relatively elevated compared to recent history.
4. Heatmap Projection
When a qualifying imbalance occurs:
• The FVG bar’s volume distribution is normalized
• Only areas with relatively elevated volume are displayed
• Colored heatmap boxes are created and extend forward
• These boxes remain until price trades into or through them
This allows traders to observe how price interacts with past zones of concentrated directional effort.
What Makes It Different
Most volume tools focus on fixed session profiles, market-wide volume-at-price calculations, or bar-level volume totals.
The Effort Heatmap instead reconstructs a per-bar vertical volume distribution using lower-timeframe price action and displays it only when displacement occurs.
Rather than treating the candle as a single block of volume, the indicator highlights where inside the candle body volume was delivered while moving in the displacement direction.
This creates a unique visualization of directional effort that conventional profiles, OB/FVG indicators, and classic oscillators do not show.
How to Use It
1. Apply to any timeframe: The indicator works on all chart timeframes, but gains more detail when higher timeframes are used in combination with lower-timeframe volume data.
2. Identify displacement moments: When a bullish or bearish FVG forms with a high volume Z-Score, the heatmap will appear.
3. Observe the heatmap structure:
Each horizontal band represents the relative concentration of same-direction volume inside the previous candle.
4. Watch how price interacts with these zones:
Heatmap areas extend until price touches or trades through them, at which point they stop extending and are finalized.
5. Combine with your own analysis:
These areas can be used to study...
...how past directional volume clusters influence current movement
...structural reactions to zones of prior effort
...which parts of a displacement candle were most active
The indicator is a visual study tool, not a signal generator.
Settings
• Volume Source Timeframe
Chooses the lower timeframe used to reconstruct internal volume. Smaller timeframes give more detail; larger timeframes give smoother profiles.
• Z-Score Lookback
Controls how many bars are used to measure relative volume. Larger values make the volume filter stricter.
• Z-Score Threshold
Minimum relative-volume strength required to draw a heatmap. Higher values show only high-effort moves.
• Volume Filter (%)
Removes weaker bins based on how much volume they contain compared to the strongest one. Higher percentages = fewer but more meaningful zones.
• Bullish / Bearish Colors
Sets the base color for heatmap boxes depending on direction.
