ICT Suspension Block HTF [Herman]ICT Suspension Block HTF — auto-marking +SB / –SB with MTF
ICT Suspension Block HTF automatically detects and plots Suspension Blocks (SB ) on your chart and optionally pulls them from higher timeframes. It’s built for traders who want precise, visual SB zones with mitigation/entry alerts and a compact stats panel.
What’s a Suspension Block (SB) ?
-A Suspension Block is a body-to-body price imbalance formed by three consecutive candles in the same direction where the bodies create sequential “gaps” (a brief pause in price efficiency).
-Bullish +SB: three bullish candles with body-to-body gaps stepping up.
-Bearish –SB: three bearish candles with body-to-body gaps stepping down.
This script highlights the actionable block zone (between the body levels of the middle candle) and lets you extend it forward for reaction tests.
Note: This tool implements a widely discussed definition of Suspension Blocks for educational/analytical use.
Key features
-Auto detection: Plots +SB/–SB the moment a valid 3-candle structure forms.
-Multi-Timeframe (MTF):
-Current timeframe detection (toggle).
-MTF1 & MTF2 pulls (e.g., 5m and 15m by default) to show HTF SBs directly on your LTF chart.
-Smart de-duplication: Avoids drawing near-identical blocks (tick-aware tolerance).
-Midpoint line (optional): Draws the 50% of the block for refined confluence.
-Forward extension: Choose how far to extend the zone in bars.
Alerts:
-New +SB/–SB formed
-Price enters a block
-Block mitigated
-Stats table: Lightweight panel showing active +SB / –SB counts and average detected gap size.
Theme aware : Light/Dark table themes matched to Herman Trading visuals.

-The stats panel updates counts in real time.
Practical tips
-Use HTF SBs (e.g., 15m/1h) on your execution timeframe for higher-quality reaction zones.
-Combine with your existing framework (session timing, liquidity sweeps, iFVG/MSS, etc.).
-Tighten/loosen Min Gap Size to match instrument volatility.
-Keep Max Blocks reasonable for performance on very low timeframes.

Fair Value Gap / iVFG / Imbalance / MTF SuiteDescription
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Imbalances across up to 10 user-selected timeframes and manages them with precise retest handling and clean visualization options.
What’s unique
3-candle FVG detection per timeframe (no lookahead).
Retest handling: on the first touch the touched edge snaps to the retest wick and the zone recolors (fresh → retested).
Right-side projection limits to avoid endless extensions.
Deterministic multi-TF overlay: HTF zones are computed independently (lookahead off) and drawn in a stable, priority-based order.
iFVG / parked zones: optionally convert a filled gap into an iFVG (parked/blue) instead of deleting/greying it.
Optional Imbalance Add-on (3-candle), with split halves + 50% midline.
How it works (technical)
FVG logic (3 candles):
Bullish when low > high (gap up); Bearish when high < low (gap down).
The created box spans the untraded range of candle B and starts at time .
Retest behavior:
On the first wick-touch, the nearest boundary adapts to the wick extreme. If enabled, the box recolors to a “retested” palette.
Projection:
Boxes extend to the right; optional bar limit constrains length.
Display limits:
FIFO pruning per direction keeps only the newest N boxes; iFVG/grey pools can share or use separate limits.
Imbalance Add-on (optional):
Classic 3-candle imbalance; draws upper/lower halves and an optional 50% midline.
No lookahead / confirmation:
Calculations run with barmerge.lookahead_off; detection finalizes on bar close (repaint-free on close).
How to use
Treat fresh gaps as potential reaction zones or confluence with liquidity / structure.
Use retested gaps for continuation or rejection logic.
Limit right-projection and visible count to keep charts readable on lower TFs.
Combine with your own execution rules (entries, stops, partials).
Key settings
General: adjust/recolor on retest, right-side limit (bars).
Display Limits: max visible per direction; separate iFVG cap if desired.
Visuals: filled vs. outline, transparency, TF labels (auto or custom), label alignment.
Theme: presets (Pegasus Classic, Icefire, Solarized, Heatmap, Pastel, Monochrome) or Custom colors.
Timeframes: enable up to 10 TF slots (e.g., M1/M5/M15/H1/H4/D1…).
Add-on — Imbalance: enable/disable, midline on/off, filled/outline, colors.
Alerts
New Bullish FVG
New Bearish FVG
Add-on: New Bullish Imbalance
Add-on: New Bearish Imbalance
Notes & limitations
FVG detection is confirmed on bar close; intrabar retest recolor can occur as price interacts.
Historical rendering depends on chart history & session settings.
Many TFs + large box counts can be heavy; use projection limits and display caps for performance.
This tool does not generate trade signals; it visualizes inefficiencies for discretionary or rules-based workflows.

Imbalance (FVG)Indicator Description
This script is designed to automatically identify and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as Imbalances, on your chart. An FVG is a key price action concept that highlights areas where the price moved swiftly, leaving a gap behind. This indicator is simple to use and fully customizable, making it an excellent tool for both novice and experienced traders.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator scans the market in real-time, automatically drawing FVG zones for both Bullish and Bearish moves.
Mitigation Tracking: When the price returns to an FVG zone, the indicator automatically marks it as "mitigated" (filled) by changing its color and style. This provides a clear signal that the imbalance has been neutralized.
Extend Zones Into the Future: Unmitigated FVG zones are automatically extended into the future, allowing them to be used as potential future support or resistance levels.
Full Customization: The user has complete control over the indicator's appearance. You can change the colors for bullish, bearish, and mitigated zones, as well as toggle their visibility on and off.
Performance Optimization: A built-in limit for the number of drawn objects prevents chart clutter and avoids errors from TradingView's drawing limits, ensuring smooth performance.
How to Use?
FVG zones can be used in various ways, including:
Price Magnets: Markets often tend to revert to "fill" these gaps.
Potential Entry Points: Price entering an FVG zone can present an opportunity to open a position, especially if confirming signals appear.
Support/Resistance Zones: Unfilled gaps can act as strong, dynamic levels of support or resistance.
SP2L Pour Samadi Indicator [TradingFinder] Spike 2 Legs PA🔵 Introduction
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, an international Iranian trader, is a simple yet powerful price action setup developed to identify precise entry points following sharp market movements.
A Spike refers to a sudden and rapid move in the market, usually triggered by a heavy flow of orders in one direction. This sharp movement creates an Imbalance between buyers and sellers. Since the market does not have time to trade evenly during such moves, it generates Inefficiency on the chart.
The direct result of a spike is usually the formation of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a space between candles indicating that trades were not distributed fairly. In simple terms, the spike is the cause, while Imbalance, Inefficiency, and FVG are its consequences.
🟣 How is a Spike formed?
Big Movement : A spike begins with a sharp and powerful move caused by heavy order flow in one direction.
Imbalance : This move disrupts the balance between buyers and sellers.
Inefficiency : Due to the speed of the move, the market fails to trade efficiently, leaving inefficiency on the chart.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) : The final outcome is a price gap between candles, highlighting unfair distribution of trades.
In SP2L, entries occur right after a spike. The entry logic is based on the structure of each candle’s Higher Lows (HLs) or Lower Highs (LHs).
When a spike occurs and candles consecutively form higher lows or lower highs :
In bullish conditions, each previous low becomes a potential Buy Entry.
In bearish conditions, each previous high becomes a potential Sell Entry.
🔵 How to Use
In the SP2L strategy, entries occur directly within the ongoing strong movement (the spike). A spike forms when heavy order flow pushes the market strongly in one direction, creating several large candles in sequence. This disrupts balance and leaves patterns such as Imbalance and FVG on the chart.
During such moves, the market does not necessarily retrace; instead, it continues strongly in the direction of the spike. The key principle in SP2L is that candles begin forming Higher Lows (HLs) in a bullish spike or Lower Highs (LHs) in a bearish spike. Each HL or LH acts as a potential entry level, but the actual entry only triggers once price returns to retest that level. This allows the trader to enter within a powerful wave while keeping stop-losses clear and risk controlled.
🟣 Bullish SP2L
When a bullish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Higher Lows. Each HL marks a potential entry. The entry is activated when price returns to that HL.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed below the candle where the spike originated, usually the lowest point before the sharp move.
Take-Profit (TP) : Defined based on classic risk-to-reward ratios, commonly TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2. Stronger trends may allow extended targets.
🟣 Bearish SP2L
When a bearish spike occurs, candles consecutively form Lower Highs. Each LH marks a potential sell entry. The entry is triggered when price returns to retest that LH.
Stop-Loss (SL) : Placed above the candle where the bearish spike started, usually the highest point before the sharp drop.
Take-Profit (TP) : Similar to bullish setups, typically TP1 = 1:1 and TP2 = 1:2, with extended targets possible if bearish momentum continues.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Spike Filter | Movement
Minimum Spike Bars : Defines the minimum number of consecutive candles required for a valid spike.
Movement Power : Enables or disables the momentum-based spike filter.
Movement Power Level : Sets the strength threshold; higher values filter out weaker moves and only detect strong spikes.
🟣 Spike Filter | Gap

🟣 Spike Filter | Doji
Doji Tolerance : Defines whether doji candles are allowed within a spike.
Max Doji Body Ratio : Maximum ratio of body-to-total candle size for classifying a candle as a doji.
Max Doji in Spike Ratio : Maximum percentage of doji candles allowed within a spike.
🟣 Trend Detection
Trend Detection : Enables or disables the trend detection module using dojis.
Max Doji Body Ratio : Maximum body-to-candle ratio used to classify a doji in trend calculations.
Candle Lookback : Number of candles used to calculate doji percentage for trend evaluation.

🟣 Position Management
Stop-Loss Threshold : Enables or disables the stop-loss threshold feature.
Stop-Loss Threshold Value : Defines the value of the stop-loss threshold for risk management.
Risk-Reward Ratio : Sets the desired risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 1:2).
Include SL Threshold in R:R : Determines whether the stop-loss threshold is included in risk-to-reward calculations.
🟣 Display Settings
Display Mode : Chooses between Setup (showing setups) or Signal (showing trade signals).
Only Display the Last Position : Displays only the most recent position on the chart when enabled.
🔵 Conclusion
The SP2L (Spike–2Leg) strategy, designed by Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, offers a simple yet effective framework for trading strong market flows. Built on the logic of spikes and candle structures (HLs and LHs), it identifies precise entry points directly within the main movement of the market, where risk is clear and reward is logical.
With transparent rules, defined stop-loss placement, and flexible risk management, SP2L proves especially effective in volatile markets such as forex, gold, and indices. Its simplicity makes it practical for both beginner traders and seasoned professionals.
In summary, SP2L helps traders avoid unnecessary complexity by focusing on spikes and consecutive HL/LH formations to capture accurate, low-risk entries.
NX - ICT PD ArraysThis Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs) based on refined price action logic.
FVGs are highlighted when price leaves an imbalance between candles, while Order Blocks are detected using ICT methodology—marking the last opposing candle before a displacement move.
The script dynamically tracks and updates these zones, halting box extension once price interacts with them. Customizable colors and lookback settings allow traders to tailor the display to their strategy.
Machine Learning-Inspired Supply & Demand Zones [AlgoPoint]This indicator is a Smart Supply & Demand Zone tool, developed with principles inspired by Machine Learning (ML). It intelligently filters out market noise, allowing you to focus only on the most significant zones where institutional order flow is likely present.
💡 How It Works: Why Is This Indicator "Smart"?
Unlike traditional indicators that only measure simple price movements, this script uses an algorithm that asks the same critical questions an experienced market analyst would to qualify a zone:
- 1. Price Imbalance: How fast and aggressively did the price leave the zone? Our algorithm measures the body size of the "departure candle" relative to the current market volatility (ATR). A zone is only considered if it was formed by an explosive move that is statistically significant, indicating a major imbalance between buyers and sellers.
- 2. Volume Confirmation: Did the "smart money" participate in this move? The script checks if the volume on the departure candle was significantly higher than the recent average volume. A spike in volume confirms that the move was backed by institutional interest, adding strength and validity to the zone.
- 3. Valid Pivot Structure: Did the zone originate from a meaningful swing high or low? The algorithm first identifies a valid pivot structure, ensuring that zones are not drawn from insignificant or random price fluctuations.
Only when a potential zone passes these three critical tests—our "quality filter"—is it drawn on your chart.
🚀 Features & How to Use
Using the indicator is straightforward. You will see two primary types of boxes on your chart:
* 🟥 Red Box (Supply Zone): An area of potential resistance where selling pressure is likely to be strong. Look for potential shorting opportunities as the price approaches this zone.
* 🟩 Green Box (Demand Zone): An area of potential support where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Look for potential long opportunities as the price pulls back into this zone.
Dynamic Zone Management
This indicator is not static; it lives and breathes with the market:
- Fresh Zone: A newly formed zone appears in its full, vibrant color. These are the highest-probability zones as they have not yet been re-tested.
- Broken / Flipped Zone: You have full control over what happens when a zone is broken! In the settings, you can choose:
- Delete Zone: The zone will be removed completely when the price closes through it.
- Show as Broken (Flip): When broken, the zone will turn gray, stop extending, and remain on your chart. This is extremely useful for identifying Support/Resistance Flips, where a broken demand zone becomes new resistance, or a broken supply zone becomes new support.
⚙️ Settings & Customization
Fine-tune the indicator to match your personal trading style via the settings menu:
- Breakout Behavior: The most powerful feature. Choose between Delete Zone and Show as Broken (Flip) to customize your chart.
- Zone Finding Logic: Control the indicator's sensitivity.
- Selective: Requires both strong imbalance and high volume. Finds fewer, but higher-quality, zones.
- Moderate: Requires either strong imbalance or high volume. Finds more potential zones.
- Sensitivity Settings: Adjust the ATR Multiplier and Volume Multiplier to make the criteria for a "strong" zone stricter or looser.
Unfilled ImbalancesUNFILLED IMBALANCES TRACKER - IDENTIFY HIGH-PROBABILITY REVERSAL ZONES
This advanced indicator automatically detects and tracks unfilled price imbalances (Fair Value Gaps/FVGs) between candle bodies, providing traders with crucial levels where price is likely to return.
METHODOLOGY
This indicator employs an approach to imbalance detection that differs from standard FVG indicators:
1. Body-to-Body Gap Detection: Unlike typical FVG indicators that use wicks, this system exclusively tracks gaps between candle bodies, filtering out noise and focusing on the most significant price inefficiencies.
2. Dynamic Partial Fill Tracking: Our unique algorithm continuously monitors and adjusts imbalance zones as they're partially filled, showing exactly how much of each gap remains unfilled in real-time. This feature helps traders identify the strongest remaining levels.
3. Dual Fill Detection Logic: Proprietary fill detection offers two distinct modes - Distal (gap filled when touched) and Through (requires complete price movement through the entire gap), allowing adaptation to different market behaviors.
KEY FEATURES
Real-Time Imbalance Detection
Identifies body-to-body gaps between consecutive candles
Tracks both bullish and bearish imbalances
Automatically removes filled imbalances from the chart
Advanced Fill Detection Modes
Distal Mode: Imbalance considered filled when price touches the near edge
Through Mode: Requires price to completely trade through the gap
Body Fill Option: Requires candle body (not just wick) to enter the gap zone
Partial Fill Visualization
Watch imbalances shrink in real-time as price partially fills them
Visual representation shows exact percentage of gap remaining
Critical for position sizing and risk management
Flexible Display Options
Full Box Mode: Shows complete imbalance zones
Line Mode: Displays only critical edge levels for cleaner charts
Customizable visual parameters (colors, transparency, line thickness)
Smart Extension Features
Auto-extends visual elements to current price bar
Optional extension into future (0-500 bars)
Statistics table showing active imbalances count and fill rates
TRADING METHODOLOGY
Unfilled imbalances represent areas where price moved too quickly, leaving behind inefficiencies that markets tend to revisit. This indicator helps identify:
High-probability entry zones for trend continuation trades
Logical take profit targets at unfilled gaps
Stop loss placement beyond strong imbalance zones
Market structure breaks when key imbalances are filled
Supply and demand zone identification
HOW TO USE
Apply the indicator to any timeframe (works best on 15m and above)
Configure fill detection mode based on your trading style
Watch for price approaching unfilled imbalance zones
Use partial fill information to gauge zone strength
Combine with your existing strategy for confirmation
TARGET AUDIENCE & BEST PRACTICES
This tool is designed for traders who understand price action and market structure. It works best on:
Liquid instruments with consistent volume
Trending markets where imbalances are more likely to be revisited
Higher timeframes for more reliable signals
LIMITATIONS & CONSIDERATIONS
Imbalances may not always be filled, especially in strong trending markets
Performance varies across different market conditions and instruments
Should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods, not as a standalone system
Gap detection is based on candle closes and may miss intrabar movements
Historical imbalances from many bars ago may lose relevance
SETTINGS EXPLANATION
The indicator includes multiple customization options:
Require Body Fill: Controls whether wicks or bodies must enter gaps
Fill Detection Mode: Choose between Distal or Through modes
Visual Display: Select between boxes or lines
Alert Configuration: Set minimum age before fill alerts trigger
Debug Mode: Learn how the algorithm works with visual feedback
This indicator represents months of research into price inefficiency patterns and provides a systematic approach to identifying and tracking these critical market levels.
Note: Works on all timeframes and markets. Best results on liquid instruments with consistent volume patterns.
CHart_This FVGThis script will work on any time frame, and auto plots the classic ICT "fair value gaps", or imbalances, that result from a three candle formation wherein the middle candle body extends beyond the highs and lows of the end candles, leaving no overlap of the first and last candle wicks. Bullish imbalances are green, and bearish are red. Plotted zones will automatically close once a candle closure fully violates the imbalance zone with a close beyond its borders.
Volume Imbalance Analyzer - 70% & 80% Version1.01Here’s a clean “definition” you can drop into your docs. It explains **what** the indicator is, **what it helps with**, and **how** to use it—plain and practical.
# Definition
**Volume Imbalance Analyzer (70% & 80%)** flags bars where estimated buy vs. sell volume is heavily one-sided. It colors those bars, adds labels (B70/B80 or S70/S80), and can alert you in real time. The goal is to quickly spot spots of **aggressive participation** (buyers or sellers) that often act as magnets for a **retest** or as **exhaustion/continuation** areas.
# What it helps you do
* **Find high-energy bars** where one side dominates (potential turning or continuation points).
* **Plan retests:** Track when price comes back into the imbalance candle’s range (common entry/take-profit logic).
* **Filter trades:** Only act when the market shows unusual pressure (≥70% or ≥80%).
* **Add context to setups:** Combine with S/R, FVGs, or trend tools to time entries with less guesswork.
* **Alert-driven workflow:** Get notified the moment extreme pressure prints.
# How it helps (workflow)
1. **Scan for signals:**
* **B80/B70** = strong buying; **S80/S70** = strong selling.
* 80% is “extreme” and overrides 70%.
2. **Mark the zone:** The imbalance candle’s **high–low** defines a zone. Many traders wait for a **retest** into that range.
3. **Decide intent:**
* After **B80/B70**, look for pullbacks to buy (or fades if you see exhaustion).
* After **S80/S70**, look for rallies to sell (or fades if exhaustion).
4. **Confirm with context:** Check trend, key levels, liquidity, session timing, ATR/volatility.
5. **Manage risk:** Place stops beyond the zone; size trades so a failed retest doesn’t ruin the day.
# How it works (under the hood, briefly)
The script **estimates buy/sell volume** from each candle’s body, wicks, and total volume, then computes an **imbalance %**. If the % crosses **70%** or **80%** (scaled by a Sensitivity setting), it paints the bar, drops a label, and optionally fires an alert. It also stores the imbalance candle’s range so you can watch for a **retest**.
# Reading the signals (quick guide)
* **B80**: Extreme buyer pressure → watch for pullback buys or exhaustion shorts, depending on context.
* **B70**: Strong buyer pressure → mild continuation bias.
* **S80**: Extreme seller pressure → watch for rally sells or exhaustion longs.
* **S70**: Strong seller pressure → higher reversal probability noted in the table (informational).
# Configuration tips
* **Sensitivity**: Higher = more bars qualify (more signals).
* **Label distance**: Scales with ATR so labels don’t overlap candles.
* **Colors/opacity**: Separate for 70% vs 80% and buyer vs seller.
* **Alerts**: Enable to catch signals live without staring at the screen.
# Notes & limits
* Uses **estimation** (not true bid/ask) on most symbols; treat as a **context tool**, not a stand-alone system.
* The optional stats table’s “expected outcomes” are **informational**, not live probabilities.
* Works on any timeframe; results improve when combined with structure and risk controls.

Unmitigated Imbalances [TakingProphets] (High Timeframe)Unmitigated Imbalances
Unmitigated Imbalance is designed to automatically detect and display active Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple higher timeframes and your current chart. It only keeps the ones that remain unmitigated, helping you clearly see where price has “unfinished business” and potential liquidity draw areas. The tool extends these levels forward until they are tagged according to your chosen mitigation criteria, then removes them automatically.
The indicator uses the classic 3-bar FVG structure:
– Bearish FVG forms when the low of the third candle back is above the high of the first candle.
– Bullish FVG forms when the high of the third candle back is below the low of the first candle.
– Each detected gap must meet a minimum size threshold, which is determined automatically from the Sensitivity setting and adjusted for the symbol type.
Higher timeframes (up to 4) can be plotted simultaneously with your current chart’s gaps. The script merges overlapping levels from different timeframes into one clean label, showing all the contributing timeframes together (for example: M15 + H1 + H4). This makes it easy to spot high-confluence levels without cluttering your chart.
Key features
– Multi-timeframe detection: up to 4 custom HTFs plus your current chart.
– Automatic gap size filtering based on chosen Sensitivity (High, Medium, Low).
– Choice of Wick or Close-based mitigation logic.
– Lookback control: 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, or Max.
– Combined labels for overlapping gaps with clear timeframe tags.
– Separate color and style settings for each timeframe’s bullish and bearish gaps.
– Labels can be positioned Left, Right, or Center Above for maximum clarity.
– Automatic line extension until mitigation or until they exceed the lookback period.
How to use
Select your desired higher timeframes in the HTF1–HTF4 settings.
Choose the Sensitivity level to control the minimum gap size detected.
Decide on Wick or Close mitigation according to your trading rules.
Use the Lookback setting to limit how far back the script checks for gaps.
Watch for levels where multiple timeframe labels are stacked — these can carry greater significance.
Incorporate the levels into your existing strategy, using them as context rather than entry signals.
Practical notes
– Current timeframe gaps reset each trading day to keep the chart relevant to intraday bias.
– Higher timeframe gaps remain until mitigated or until the lookback period expires.
– Large lookback periods with multiple HTFs can increase chart load — adjust settings as needed.
– This indicator is a mapping and context tool, not a signal generator. Always apply it alongside your own analysis.

📊 WHAT IS THIS INDICATOR?
The Multi Timeframe Fair Value Gap Indicator Pro is the most advanced FVG detection system on TradingView, designed to identify high-probability institutional supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This professional-grade tool automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalance zones, liquidity voids, or inefficiency gaps - the exact areas where institutional traders enter and exit positions.
🔍 What Are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps are three-candle price formations that create imbalances in the market structure. These gaps represent areas where buying or selling was so aggressive that price moved too quickly, leaving behind an inefficient zone that price often returns to "fill" or "mitigate." Professional traders use these zones as high-probability entry points.
Bullish FVG: When the low of candle 3 is higher than the high of candle 1
Bearish FVG: When the high of candle 3 is lower than the low of candle 1

1st FVGOverview
This indicator is specifically designed for intraday price action traders who focus on the NASDAQ opening range. Its primary function is to automatically identify, plot, and alert on the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms during the critical 30-minute window of the New York morning session, from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET.
The script intelligently ignores any gaps that rely on pre-market data, ensuring that the detected FVG is a true imbalance created by the initial volume and volatility of the regular trading session. This tool helps traders to quickly pinpoint a key area of interest right after the market opens.
Key Features
First FVG Detection: Pinpoints only the initial FVG of the session and ignores all subsequent ones for the day.
Specific Time Window: Operates strictly between 9:30 and 10:00 AM New York time.
Strict Formation Rule: To ensure accuracy, the entire 3-bar FVG pattern must form at or after the 9:30 AM candle. This prevents false signals from pre-market price action.
Visual Price Zones: Automatically draws a clean, colored box around the FVG, making the zone easy to see. The box can be extended to track future price interactions.
Customizable Display: Control how many historical FVGs to show on your chart and how far the zone extends to the right.
Built-in Alerts: Get real-time notifications the moment the first FVG is confirmed, so you never miss a potential setup.
How It Works
The indicator scans the price action candle by candle. Once the 9:30 AM ET session begins, it looks for the first valid 3-bar FVG pattern (also known as a price imbalance).
A Bullish FVG is identified when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods ago.
A Bearish FVG is identified when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods ago.
Once the first FVG for the day is detected and plotted, the script will remain dormant until the next trading day begins, keeping your chart clean and focused.
Settings
Number of FVG History: Controls how many of the most recent daily FVGs are displayed on the chart.
Extend Box To End: A checkbox to extend the FVG zone all the way to the right edge of the chart. This is useful for tracking how price interacts with the zone later in the day.
Manual Box Length: If the "Extend Box" option is unchecked, this input sets a fixed length for the box (in number of bars).
How to Set Up Alerts
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click the 'Alert' icon (alarm clock) in the TradingView toolbar.
In the 'Condition' dropdown menu, select "1st FVG".
A second dropdown will appear, which should be set to "Alert Function Call".
Choose your preferred notification options (e.g., pop-up, email, app notification).
Click 'Create'.
Disclaimer: This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should not be considered as financial advice. Always use proper risk management and conduct your own research before making any trading decisions.
Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.
Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - FVGs is a sophisticated indicator designed to identify and track Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action. These gaps represent market inefficiencies where price moves quickly, creating imbalances that often attract subsequent price action for mitigation. By highlighting these key areas, traders can identify potential zones for reversals, continuations, and price targets.
The indicator employs volume filtering ideology to highlight only the most significant FVGs, reducing noise and focusing on gaps formed during periods of higher relative volume. This combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability areas of interest that institutional smart money may target during future price movements.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Volume-Filtered Gap Detection : Eliminates low-significance FVGs by requiring a minimum volume threshold, focusing only on gaps formed with institutional participation
Equilibrium Line Visualization : Displays the midpoint of each gap as a potential precision target for trades
Automated Gap Mitigation Tracking : Monitors when price revisits and mitigates gaps, automatically managing visual elements
Time-Based Gap Management : Intelligently filters gaps based on a configurable timeframe, maintaining chart clarity
Dual Direction Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure view
Memory-Optimized Design : Implements efficient memory management for smooth chart performance even with numerous FVGs
🔧 Core Components
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies price inefficiencies where the current candle’s low is higher than the previous candle’s high (bearish FVG) or where the current candle’s high is lower than the previous candle’s low (bullish FVG).
Volume Filtering Mechanism : Calculates relative volume compared to a moving average to qualify only gaps formed during significant market activity.
Mitigation Tracking : Continuously monitors price action to detect when gaps get filled, with options to either hide or maintain visual representation of mitigated gaps.
🔥 Key Features
Customizable Gap Display : Toggle visibility of bullish and bearish gaps independently to focus on your preferred market direction
Volume Threshold Control : Adjust the minimum volume ratio required for gap qualification, allowing fine-tuning between sensitivity and significance
Flexible Mitigation Methods : Choose between “Wick” or “Close” methods for determining when a gap has been mitigated, adapting to different trading styles
Visual Customization : Full control over colors, transparency, and style of gap boxes and equilibrium lines
🎨 Visualization
Gap Boxes : Rectangular highlights showing the exact price range of each Fair Value Gap. Bullish gaps indicate potential upward price targets, while bearish gaps show potential downward targets.
Equilibrium Lines : Dotted lines running through the center of each gap, representing the mathematical midpoint that often serves as a precision target for price movement.
📖 Usage Guidelines
General Settings
Days to Analyze : Default: 15, Range: 1-100. Controls how many days of historical gaps to display, balancing between comprehensive analysis and chart clarity
Visual Settings
Bull Color : Default:(#596fd33f). Color for bullish Fair Value Gaps, typically using high transparency for clear chart visibility
Bear Color : Default:(#d3454575). Color for bearish Fair Value Gaps, typically using high transparency for clear chart visibility
Equilibrium Line : Default: Enabled. Toggles visibility of the center equilibrium line for each FVG
Eq. Line Color : Default: Black with 99% transparency. Sets the color of equilibrium lines, usually kept subtle to avoid chart clutter
Eq. Line Style : Default: Dotted, Options: Dotted, Solid, Dashed. Determines the line style for equilibrium lines
Mitigation Settings
Mitigation Method : Default: Wick, Options: Wick, Close. Determines how gap mitigation is calculated - “Wick” uses high/low values while “Close” uses open/close values for more conservative mitigation criteria
Hide Mitigated : Default: Enabled. When enabled, gaps become transparent once mitigated, reducing visual clutter while maintaining historical context
Volume Filter
Volume Filter : Default: Enabled. When enabled, only shows gaps formed with significant volume relative to recent average
Min Ratio : Default: 1.5, Range: 0.1-10.0. Minimum volume ratio compared to average required to display an FVG; higher values filter out more gaps
Periods : Default: 15, Range: 5-50. Number of periods used to calculate the average volume baseline
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying potential reversal zones where price may react after extended moves
Finding precise targets for take-profit placement in trend-following strategies
Detecting institutional interest areas for potential breakout or breakdown confirmations
Plotting significant support and resistance zones based on structural imbalances
Developing fade strategies at key market structure points
Confirming trade entries when price approaches significant unfilled gaps
⚠️ Limitations
Works best on higher timeframes where gaps reflect more significant market inefficiencies
Very choppy or ranging markets may produce small gaps with limited predictive value
Volume filtering depends on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some symbols
Performance may be affected when displaying a very large number of historical gaps
Some gaps may never be fully mitigated, particularly in strongly trending markets
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic FVG indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify the most significant structural imbalances, focusing on quality over quantity.
Visual Clarity Management : Automatic handling of mitigated gaps and memory management ensures your chart remains clean and informative even over extended analysis periods.
Dual-Direction Comprehensive Analysis : Simultaneously tracks both bullish and bearish gaps, providing a complete market structure picture rather than forcing a directional bias.
🔬 How It Works
1. Gap Detection Process :
The indicator examines each candle in relation to previous candles, identifying when a gap forms between the low of candle and high of candle (bearish FVG) or between the high of candle and low of candle (bullish FVG). This specific candle relationship identifies true structural imbalances.
2. Volume Qualification :
For each potential gap, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only gaps formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed, ensuring focus on institutionally significant imbalances.
3. Equilibrium Calculation :
For each qualified gap, the script calculates the precise mathematical midpoint, which becomes the equilibrium line - a key target that price often gravitates toward during mitigation attempts.
4. Mitigation Tracking :
The indicator continuously monitors price action against existing gaps, determining mitigation based on the selected method (wick or close). When price reaches the equilibrium point, the gap is considered mitigated and can be visually updated accordingly.
💡 Note:
Fair Value Gaps represent market inefficiencies that often, but not always, get filled. Use this indicator as part of a complete trading strategy rather than as a standalone system. The most valuable signals typically come from combining FVG analysis with other confirmatory indicators and overall market context. For optimal results, start with the default settings and gradually adjust parameters to match your specific trading timeframe and style.
Imbalance(FVG) DetectorImbalance (FVG) Detector
Overview
The Imbalance (FVG) Detector is a technical analysis tool designed to highlight price inefficiencies by identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These gaps occur when rapid price movement leaves an area with little to no traded volume, which may later act as a zone of interest. The indicator automatically detects and marks these imbalances on the chart, allowing users to observe historical price behavior more effectively.
Key Features
- Automatic Imbalance Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish imbalances based on a structured three-bar price action model.
- Customizable Sensitivity: Users can adjust the minimum imbalance percentage threshold to tailor detection settings to different assets and market conditions.
- Real-time Visualization: Marked imbalances are displayed as colored boxes directly on the chart.
- Dynamic Box Updates: Imbalance zones extend forward in time until price interacts with them.
- Alert System: Users can set alerts for when new imbalances appear or when price tests an existing imbalance.
How It Works
The indicator identifies market imbalances using a three-bar price structure:
- Bullish Imbalance: Occurs when the high of three bars ago is lower than the low of the previous bar, forming a price gap.
- Bearish Imbalance: Occurs when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of the previous bar, creating a downward gap.
When an imbalance is detected:
- Green Boxes indicate bullish imbalances.
- Red Boxes indicate bearish imbalances.
- Once price interacts with an imbalance, the box fades to gray, marking it as tested.
! Designed for Crypto Markets
This indicator is particularly useful in crypto markets, where frequent volatility can create price inefficiencies. It provides a structured way to visualize gaps in price movement, helping users analyze historical liquidity areas.
Customization Options
- Min Imbalance Percentage Size: Adjusts the sensitivity of the imbalance detection.
- Alerts: Users can enable alerts to stay notified of new or tested imbalances.
Important Notes
- This indicator is a technical analysis tool and does not provide trading signals or financial advice.
- It does not predict future price movement but highlights historical price inefficiencies.
- Always use this tool alongside other market analysis methods and risk management strategies.

DUN Lines IndicatorThe DUN Lines indicator detects, filters and plots price imbalances (aka fair value gaps or fvgs/ifvgs). It is unique in the fact that it uses five timeframes and filters out overlapping, lower timeframe imbalances and fvgs below a user-definable size threshold.
Simply set your detection timeframes, colors and thresholds then set your chart to your preferred entry timeframe. When imbalances are mitigated, the FVG/IFVG is removed from the chart.
The indicator's default colors are my preferred ones for differentiating between timeframes, but these are easily changed. A single color with various levels of transparency to indicate timeframe strength is another approach that works nicely.
