Triangle Reversal IndicatorTriangle Reversal Indicator – A Visual Tool for Identifying Reversal Patterns
This indicator is designed to highlight potential trend reversal moments by comparing the current candle with the previous one. It offers a unique approach by focusing on distinct candle patterns rather than generic trend indicators, making it a valuable addition to your trading toolkit.
How It Works:
For a bullish signal, the indicator checks if:
The current candle is bullish (closing higher than it opens) while the previous candle was bearish.
The current candle’s low breaches the previous bearish candle’s low.
The current candle’s close is above the previous bearish candle’s close.
When these conditions are met, a tiny green triangle is plotted below the candle to signal a potential bullish reversal.
Conversely, for a bearish signal, it verifies if:
The current candle is bearish (closing lower than it opens) following a bullish candle.
The current candle’s high exceeds the previous bullish candle’s high.
The current candle’s close falls below the previous bullish candle’s close.
If all conditions are satisfied, a small red triangle appears above the candle to indicate a potential bearish reversal.
How to Use:
Simply apply the indicator on your chart and look for the tiny triangles that appear above or below the candles. These markers can serve as an additional visual cue when confirming entry or exit points, but it’s best used alongside your other analysis techniques.
Customization Options:
Users can further enhance the script by adding inputs for lookback periods, adjusting the triangle size, or modifying colors to match their chart themes.
Priceaction
+ Stochastic S/R ZonesHey, all. I have a new indicator here that displays zones on your price chart where the stochastic oscillator has moved out of overbought or oversold back into the range of the indicator that is bounded by those two levels.
I know there are many support and resistance indicators on TradingView already, at least a couple of which use the RSI in a similar way as I am using the stochastic here, but I still believe this is a fairly novel interpretation of the stochastic, and it is, in my opinion, a better oscillator than the RSI to be used in this way.
In addition to the zones being plotted on the chart, the indicator also, optionally, can color candles or plot shapes above candles when the 50 line is crossed, so if you want to use this as a simple momentum indicator without desire of having the below chart indicator taking up screen space, you're pretty much covered on the typical signals you might want from it (with the exception of %K / %D crosses, but there are alerts for that).
Visually, it is a simple, clean indicator. There are the zones, and then candle colors or shapes if you opt to add those. These zones are actually drawn from the candle preceding the cross over or cross under. Reason for that is often times the candle of the cross is fairly impulsive and exiting a consolidation. That period of consolidation is what is important to highlight, at least as far as I am concerned. The zones themselves extend until they are broken by a candle. A support zone stops at the candle that closes below its low. Vice versa for a resistance zone.
Usage is fairly simple. All the standard stochastic inputs are available for you to adjust to your heart's content. Additionally, you can choose either the %K or %D line to use as the source from which the zones are drawn, candles are colored, and shapes are plotted. Not sure if this will matter to most people, but I figured it should be made available.
This should be obvious, but I feel it must be said, just because an oscillator (any oscillator) has exited overbought or oversold does not mean that there must be a reversal (or in the case of a trend pullback, continuation). The oscillator can always simply immediately move back into overbought/sold. Just because a support box prints does not mean you should mortgage your house on a long trade. In strong trends, and depending on your oscillator settings, the indicator might draw a box then only a couple of candles later break it, continuing on with the trend. This of course is telling you something, and you would be wise to listen. As with all things trading, context is important.
Here are a few extra screens for you.
I really hope you all like this. It's been ages since I've created anything new, and despite its simplicity and the few lines of code that make it up, it took a lot of work, as I am a poor coder.
Enjoy,
Scott

Wick Size in USD with 10-Bar AverageWick Size in USD with 10-Bar Average
Version: 1.0
Author: QCodeTrader
🔍 Overview
This indicator converts the price wicks of your candlestick chart into USD values based on ticks, providing both raw and smoothed data via a 10-bar simple moving average. It helps traders visualize the monetary impact of price extremes, making it easier to assess volatility, potential risk, and plan appropriate stop loss levels.
⚙️ Key Features
Tick-Based Calculation:
Converts wick sizes into ticks (using a fixed tick size of 0.01, typical for stocks) and then into USD using a customizable tick value.
10-Bar Moving Average:
Smooths out the wick values over the last 10 bars, giving you a clearer view of average wick behavior.
Bullish/Bearish Visual Cues:
The chart background automatically highlights bullish candles in green and bearish candles in red for quick visual assessment.
Stop Loss Optimization:
The indicator highlights long wick sizes, which can help you set more accurate stop loss levels. Even when the price moves in your favor, long wicks may indicate potential reversals—allowing you to account for this risk when planning your stop losses.
User-Friendly Customization:
Easily adjust the USD value per tick through the settings to tailor the indicator to your specific instrument.
📊 How It Works
Wick Calculation:
The indicator calculates the upper and lower wicks by measuring the distance between the candle’s high/low and its body (open/close).
Conversion to Ticks & USD:
These wick sizes are first converted from price points to ticks (dividing by a fixed tick size of 0.01) and then multiplied by the user-defined tick value to convert the measurement into USD.
Smoothing Data:
A 10-bar simple moving average is computed for both the upper and lower wick values, providing smoothed data that helps identify trends and deviations.
Visual Representation:
Columns display the raw wick sizes in USD.
Lines indicate the 10-bar moving averages.
Background Color shifts between green (bullish) and red (bearish) based on candle type.
⚡ How to Use
Add the Indicator:
Apply it to your chart to begin visualizing wick sizes in monetary terms.
Customize Settings:
Adjust the Tick Value in USD in the settings to match your instrument’s tick value.
(Note: The tick size is fixed at 0.01, which is standard for many stocks.)
Optimize Your Stop Loss:
Analyze the raw and averaged wick values to understand volatility. Long wicks—even when the price moves in your favor—may indicate potential reversals. This insight can help you set more accurate stop loss levels to protect your gains.
Analyze:
Use the indicator’s data to gauge market volatility and assess the significance of price movements, aiding in more informed trading decisions.
This indicator is perfect for traders looking to understand the impact of extreme price movements in monetary terms, optimize stop loss levels, and effectively manage risk across stocks and other instruments with similar tick structures.

Advanced Support & Resistance [Alpha Extract]🔶 AE - Advanced Support & Resistance
A sophisticated yet user-friendly tool designed to enhance your trading analysis by accurately identifying and plotting key support and resistance levels. Built on a unique pivot-based detection algorithm, this indicator provides clear visual cues in real time, helping traders stay ahead of potential market reversals and breakouts.
🔶 Pivot-Based Detection
Leverages pivot highs and lows along with a configurable threshold to filter out overlapping levels. This method helps the script stand out from simpler support/resistance indicators by focusing on the most significant price zones.
🔶 Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Pulls higher-timeframe data to ensure that critical levels remain visible and properly scaled, regardless of your current chart view. This prevents distortion and offers a more comprehensive perspective of market structure.
🔶 Break Signal Alerts
Generates breakout or breakdown signals whenever the price crosses above or below a detected level—labeled as RB (Resistance Break) or SB (Support Break)—so traders can quickly spot shifts in momentum or trend.
🔶 Customizable Parameters
Fine-tune sensitivity and appearance—adjust pivot bar settings, lookback periods, thresholds, and the maximum number of plotted levels to match your trading style and preferences.
// === USER INPUTS ===
pivotLeft = input.int(15, "Left Pivot Bars", minval=1)
pivotRight = input.int(15, "Right Pivot Bars", minval=1)
lookback = input.int(200, "Lookback Period", minval=50)
threshold = input.float(0.2, "Price Threshold %", minval=0.1, step=0.1)
maxLevels = input.int(10, "Maximum Levels", minval=1)
📊How It Works
🔶 Identifying Pivots
The script scans for pivot highs and lows within a user-defined range of bars (Left Pivot Bars and Right Pivot Bars). Each pivot is evaluated against a proximity threshold, ensuring that similar nearby levels are combined into a single zone rather than cluttering the chart.
// === SUPPORT & RESISTANCE DETECTION ===
ph = ta.pivothigh(high, pivotLeft, pivotRight)
pl = ta.pivotlow(low, pivotLeft, pivotRight)
🔶Automatic Updates & Removal
Levels that remain untested or break too frequently are automatically removed based on the configured lookback period, keeping your chart focused on the most relevant support/resistance zones.
🔶Fixed Scaling
Through the use of higher-timeframe anchoring, the indicator maintains consistent plot lines that won’t distort when you zoom in or out. This approach ensures you always see crucial levels clearly.
🔶Entry and Exit Points
Pinpoint potential entry and exit opportunities based on how price interacts with these zones.
🔶Risk Management
Place stop-loss and take-profit orders around these levels to manage trade risk more effectively.
🔶Trend Confirmation
Observe how price respects or breaks levels to confirm ongoing trends or detect early signs of reversal.
🔶Sensitivity Adjustment
Control pivot bar width (pivotLeft and pivotRight) and the proximity threshold to focus on major or minor price zones.
🔶Visualization Options
Adjust line colors, styles, and thickness to align with your charting preferences.
🔶Maximum Levels
Limit the number of displayed levels to keep your chart clean and free of unnecessary clutter.

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
The first setting you will want to set it the pyramiding setting. This setting controls the number of simultaneous trades in the same direction allowed in the strategy. For example, if you set it to 1, only one trade can be active in any time, and the second trade will not be entered unless the first one is exited. If it is set to 2, the script will handle both of them at the same time. Note that you should enter the same value to this pyramiding setting, and the pyramiding setting in the "Properties" tab of the script for this to work.
For deep backtesting, you can set "Max Distance To Last Bar" to "Unlimited". If you encounter any memory issues, try decreasing this setting to a lower value.
You can enable and set a backtesting window that will limit the entries to between the start date & end date.
Then, you can enter your desired settings to Price Action features like FVGs, IFVGs, Order Blocks, Breaker Blocks, Liquidity Grabs, Market Structures, EQH & EQL and Volume Imbalances. You can also enable and set up to 3 timeframes, which you can use later on when customizing your strategies enter / exit conditions.
Entry Conditions
From the "Long Conditions" or the "Short Conditions" groups, you can set your position entry conditions. For settings like "initial capital" or "order size", you can open the "Properties" tab, where these are handled.
The PAT Automation can use the following conditions for entry conditions :
1. Order Block (OB)
Detection: Triggered when an Order Block forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests an Order Block. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters an Order Block and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches an Order Block
Break: Triggered when an Order Block is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
2. Breaker Block (BB)
Detection: Triggered when a Breaker Block forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests a Breaker Block. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters a Breaker Block and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches a Breaker Block
Break: Triggered when a Breaker Block is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Detection: Triggered when an FVG forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests an FVG. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters an FVG and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches an FVG
Break: Triggered when an FVG is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
4. Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)
Detection: Triggered when an IFVG forms or is detected
Retest: Triggered when price retests an IFVG. A retest is confirmed when a candle enters an IFVG and closes outside of it.
Retracement: Triggered when price touches an IFVG
Break: Triggered when an IFVG is invalidated by candle close or wick, depending on the user's input.
5. Break of Structure (BOS)
Detection: Triggered when a BOS forms or is detected
6. Change of Character (CHoCH)
Detection: Triggered when a CHoCH forms or is detected
7. Change of Character Plus (CHoCH+)
Detection: Triggered when a CHoCH+ forms or is detected
8. Volume Imbalance (VI)
Detection: Triggered when a Volume Imbalance forms or is detected
9. Equal High (EQH)
Detection: Triggered when an EQH is detected
10. Equal Low (EQL)
Detection: Triggered when an EQL is detected
11. Buyside Liquidity Grab
Detection: Triggered when a liquidity grab occurs at Buyside Liquidity (BSL).
12. Sellside Liquidity Grab
Detection: Triggered when a liquidity grab occurs at Sellside Liquidity (SSL).
🕒 TIMEFRAME CONDITIONS
The PAT Automation supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) features, just like the Price Action Toolkit. When setting an entry condition, you can also choose the timeframe.
To set up MTF conditions, navigate to the 'Timeframes' section in the settings, select your desired timeframes, and enable them. You can choose up to three timeframes.
Once you've selected your timeframes, you can use them in your strategy. When setting long and short entry / exit conditions, you can choose from Timeframe 1, Timeframe 2, or Timeframe 3.
External Conditions
Users can use external indicators on the chart to set entry conditions.
The second dropdown in the external condition settings allows you to choose a conditional operator to compare external outputs. Available options include:
Less Than or Equal To: <=
Less Than: <
Equal To: =
Greater Than: >
Greater Than or Equal To: >=
The position entry conditions work like this ;
Each side has 5 Price Action conditions and 1 Source condition. Each condition can be enabled or disabled using the checkbox on the left side.
For Price Action Conditions, you can set a direction: "Any", "Bullish" or "Bearish".
Then a Price Action Feature, like "FVG" or "Order Block".
The last part of our constructed condition is the alert type, which you can select between "Detection", "Retest", "Retracement" or "Break".
Now you should have a constructed condition, which should look like "Bullish Order Block Retest".
You can select which timeframe should this condition work on from Timeframe 1, 2 or 3. If you select "Any Timeframe", the condition will work for all timeframes.
Lastly select the step of this condition from 1 to 6.
The Source Condition
The last condition on each side is a source condition that is different from the others. Using this condition, you can create your own logic using other indicators' outputs on your chart. For example, suppose that you have an EMA indicator in your chart. You can have the source condition to something like "EMA > high".
The Step System
Each condition has a step number, and conditions are in topological order based on them.
The conditions are executed step by step. This means the condition with step 2 cannot be executed before the condition with step 1 is executed.
Conditions with the same step numbers have "OR" logic. This means that if you have 2 conditions with step 3, the condition with step 4 can trigger after only one of the step 3 conditions is executed.
➕ OTHER ENTRY FEATURES
The PAT Automation allows traders to choose when to execute trades and when not to execute trades.
1. Only Take Trades
This setting lets users specify the time period when their strategy can open or execute trades.
2. Don't Take Trades
This setting lets users specify time periods when their strategy can't open or execute trades.
↩️ EXIT CONDITIONS
1. Exit on Opposite Signal
When enabled, a long position will close when short entry conditions are met, and a short position will close when long entry conditions are met.
2. Exit on Session End
When enabled, positions will be closed at the end of the trading session.
📈 TAKE PROFIT CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting take profit exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition TP
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for take-profit exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed TP
Users can set a fixed TP for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a TP exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price TP to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $190, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $200 ($190 + $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a TP exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a TP exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
📉 STOP LOSS CONDITIONS
There are several methods available for setting stop-loss exits and conditions.
1. Entry Condition SL
Users can use entry conditions as triggers for stop-loss exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions.
2. Fixed SL
Users can set a fixed SL for exits. This setting can be found under the long and short exit conditions. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method triggers a SL exit when price reaches a specified level. For example, if you set the Price SL to 10 and buy NASDAQ:TSLA at $200, the trade will automatically exit when the price reaches $190 ($200 - $10).
Ticks: This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method triggers a SL exit when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method triggers a SL exit based on a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
3. Trailing Stop
An explanation & example for the trailing stop feature is present on the write-up within the next section.
Exit conditions have the same logic of constructing conditions like the entry ones. You can construct a Take-Profit Condition & a Stop-Loss Condition. Note that the Take-Profit condition will only work if the position is in profit, regardless of if it's triggered or not. The same applies for the Stop-Loss condition, meaning that it will only work if the position is in loss.
You can also set a Fixed TP & Fixed SL based on the price movement after the position is entered. You have options like "Price", "Ticks", "%", or "Average True Range". For example, you can set a Fixed TP like "5%", and the position will be entered once it moves 5% up in a long position.
Trailing Stop
For the Fixed SL, you also have a "Trailing" stop option, which you can set it's activation level as well. The Trailing stop activation level and it's value are expressed in ticks. Check this scenerio for an example :
We have a ticker with a tick value of $1. Our Trailing Stop is set to 10 ticks and activation level is set to 30 ticks.
We buy 1 contract when the price is $100.
When the price becomes $110, we are in $10 (10 ticks) profit and the trailing stop is now activated.
The current price our stop's on is $110 - $30 (30 ticks), which is the level of $80.
The trailing stop will only move if the price moves up the highest high the price has been after we entered the position.
Let's suppose that price moves up $40 right after our trailing stop is activated. The price will now be $150, and our trailing stop will sit on $150 - $30 (30 ticks) = $120.
If the price is down the $120 level, our stop loss will be triggered.
There is also a "Hard SL" option designed for a backup stop-loss when trailing stops are enabled. You can enable & set this option and if the price goes down before our trailing stop even activates, the position will be exited.
You can also move stop-loss to the break-even (entry price of the position) after a certain profit is achieved using the last setting of the exit conditions. Note that for this to work, you will need to have a Fixed SL set-up.
➕ OTHER EXIT FEATURES
1. Move Stop Loss to Breakeven
This setting allows the strategy to automatically move the SL to Breakeven (BE) when the position is in profit by a certain amount. Users can choose between the following:
Price: This method moves the SL to BE when price reaches a specified level.
Ticks: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified number of ticks.
Percentage (%): This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified percentage.
ATR: This method moves the SL to BE when price moves a specified multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
Example Entry Scenario
To give an example , check this scenario; out conditions are :
LONG CONDITIONS
Bullish Order Block Detection, Step 1
Bullish CHoCH Detection, Step 2
Bullish Volume Imbalance Detection, Step 2
Bullish IFVG Retest, Step 3
First, the strategy needs to detect a Bullish Order Block in order to start working.
After it's detected, now it's looking for either a CHoCH, or a Volume Imbalance to proceed to the next step, the reason for this is that they both have the same step number.
After one of them is detected, the strategy will consistently check all IFVGs for a retest. If the retest occurs, a long position will be entered.

Son Model ICT [TradingFinder] HTF DOL H1 + Sweep M15 + FVG M1🔵 Introduction
The ICT Son Model setup is a precise trading strategy based on market structure and liquidity, implemented across multiple timeframes. This setup first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe to validate the trend. After confirmation, the price forms a new swing in the 5-minute timeframe, absorbing liquidity.
Once this level is broken, traders typically drop to the 30-second (30s) timeframe and enter trades based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). However, since access to the 30-second timeframe is not available to most traders, we take the entry signal directly from the 5-minute timeframe, using the same liquidity zones and confirmed breakouts to execute trades. This approach simplifies execution and makes the strategy accessible to all traders.
This model operates in two setups :
Bullish ICT Son Model and Bearish ICT Son Model. In the bullish setup, liquidity is first accumulated at the lows of the 1-hour timeframe, and after confirming a market structure shift, a long position is initiated. Conversely, in the bearish setup, liquidity is first drawn from higher levels, and upon confirmation of a bearish trend, a short position is executed.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Son Model setup is designed around liquidity analysis and market structure shifts and can be applied in both bullish and bearish market conditions. The strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour (1H) timeframe and then confirms a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 5-minute (5M) timeframe.
After this shift, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity. When this level is broken in the 5-minute timeframe, the trader enters based on a Fair Value Gap (FVG). While the ideal entry is in the 30-second (30s) timeframe, due to accessibility constraints, we take entry signals directly from the 5-minute timeframe.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish ICT Son Model, the 1-hour timeframe first identifies liquidity at the market lows, where price sweeps this level to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bullish shift.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a higher level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a long position, placing the stop-loss below the FVG.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish ICT Son Model, liquidity at higher market levels is identified in the 1-hour timeframe, where price sweeps these levels to absorb liquidity. Then, in the 5-minute timeframe, an MSS confirms the bearish trend.
After confirmation, the price forms a new swing, absorbing liquidity at a lower level. The price then retraces into a Fair Value Gap (FVG) created in the 5-minute timeframe, where the trader enters a short position, placing the stop-loss above the FVG.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Son Model setup is a structured and precise method for trade execution based on liquidity analysis and market structure shifts. This strategy first identifies a liquidity level in the 1-hour timeframe and then confirms a trend shift using the 5-minute timeframe.
Trade entries are executed based on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which highlight optimal entry points. By applying this model, traders can leverage existing market liquidity to enter high-probability trades. The bullish setup activates when liquidity is swept from market lows and a market structure shift confirms an upward trend, whereas the bearish setup is used when liquidity is drawn from market highs, confirming a downtrend.
This approach enables traders to identify high-probability trade setups with greater precision compared to many other strategies. Additionally, since access to the 30-second timeframe is limited, the strategy remains fully functional in the 5-minute timeframe, making it more practical and accessible for a wider range of traders.
Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+ [Alpha Extract]Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+
The AE's Enhanced Momentum Divergence Radar+ is designed to detect momentum shifts and divergence patterns, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and continuation points. By normalizing momentum readings and applying divergence detection, it enhances market timing for entries and exits.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator calculates normalized momentum using a combination of Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) and volatility-adjusted smoothing techniques. It highlights overbought and oversold conditions while identifying bullish and bearish divergences.
Core Calculation:
ATR-based volatility adjustment ensures dynamic sensitivity.
DPO is derived from the price minus a simple moving average (SMA) to isolate cyclical movements.
Momentum score is normalized using historical max values for consistent scaling.
Thresholds are dynamically adjusted based on average absolute momentum.
dpo = close - ma
sd = (dpo / volatility) * 100
normalizedSD = sd / maxAbsSD
The momentum score is plotted as a histogram, where:
Green bars indicate strong upward momentum.
Red bars indicate strong downward momentum.
Neutral values fade into gray.
🔶 DETAILS
📊 Visual Features:
Histogram bars dynamically color-coded based on momentum strength.
Threshold bands provide reference points for overbought and oversold levels.
Divergence markers (Bullish/Bearish & Hidden Bullish/Bearish) highlight key reversal signals.
🛠 How Divergences Work:
Bullish Divergence (𝓞𝓢): Price makes a lower low while momentum makes a higher low.
Bearish Divergence (𝓞𝓑): Price makes a higher high while momentum makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences confirm trend continuations rather than reversals.
📌 Example of Divergence Logic:
bullishDiv = (low == priceLow) and (sd > momentumLow)
bearishDiv = (high == priceHigh) and (sd < momentumHigh)
🔶 EXAMPLES
📍 The chart below illustrates price reacting to momentum divergences, identifying potential tops and bottoms before major price moves.
📌 Example snapshots:
A bullish divergence leading to a reversal in price.
A bearish divergence marking the beginning of a downtrend.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Customization Options:
Lookback Period: Adjusts sensitivity to market cycles.
Smoothing Period: Controls signal clarity.
Color Options: Enables bar coloring based on momentum strength.
Divergence Sensitivity: Choose to display hidden divergences.

Dragon Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Dragon Detector🔵 Introduction
The Dragon Harmonic Pattern is one of the technical analysis tools that assists traders in identifying Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ). Resembling an "M" or "W" shape, this pattern is recognized in financial markets as a method for predicting bullish and bearish trends. By leveraging precise Fibonacci ratios and measuring price movements, traders can use this pattern to forecast market trends with high accuracy.
The Dragon Harmonic Pattern is built on the XABCD structure, where each point plays a significant role in shaping and forecasting price movements. Point X marks the beginning of the trend, representing the initial price movement. Point A indicates the first retracement, usually falling within the 0.380 to 0.620 range of the XA wave.
Next, point B signals the second retracement, which lies within 0.200 to 0.400 of the AB wave. Point C, acting as the hump of the pattern, is generally located within 0.800 to 1.100 of the XA wave. Finally, point D represents the endpoint of the pattern and the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), where the primary price reversal occurs.
In bullish scenarios, the Dragon Pattern indicates a reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend, where prices move upward from point D. Conversely, in bearish scenarios, prices decline after reaching point D. Accurate identification of this pattern through Fibonacci ratio analysis and PRZ examination can significantly increase the success rate of trades, enabling traders to adjust their strategies based on key market levels such as 0.618 or 1.100.
Due to its high accuracy in identifying Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) and its alignment with Fibonacci ratios, the Dragon Harmonic Pattern is considered one of the most popular tools in technical analysis. Traders can use this pattern to pinpoint entry and exit points with greater confidence while minimizing trading risks.

🔵 How to Use
The Dragon Harmonic Pattern indicator helps traders identify bullish and bearish patterns in the market, allowing them to capitalize on available trading opportunities. By analyzing Fibonacci ratios and the XABCD structure, the indicator highlights Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ).
🟣 Bullish Dragon Pattern
In the Bullish Dragon Pattern, the price transitions from a downtrend to an uptrend after reaching point D. At this stage, points X, A, B, C, and D must be carefully identified.
Fibonacci ratios for these points are as follows: Point A should fall within 0.380 to 0.620 of the XA wave, point B within 0.200 to 0.400 of the AB wave, and point C within 0.800 to 1.100 of the XA wave.
When the price reaches point D, traders should look for bullish signals such as reversal candlesticks or increased trading volume to enter a buy position. The take-profit level can be set near the previous price high or based on the 1.272 Fibonacci ratio of the XA wave, while the stop-loss should be placed slightly below point D.
🟣 Bearish Dragon Pattern
In the Bearish Dragon Pattern, the price shifts from an uptrend to a downtrend after reaching point D. In this pattern, points X, A, B, C, and D must also be identified. Fibonacci ratios for these points are as follows: Point A should fall within 0.380 to 0.620 of the XA wave, point B within 0.200 to 0.400 of the AB wave, and point C within 0.800 to 1.100 of the XA wave.
Upon reaching point D, bearish signals such as reversal candlesticks or decreasing trading volume indicate the opportunity to enter a sell position. The take-profit level can be set near the previous price low or based on the 1.272 Fibonacci ratio of the XA wave, while the stop-loss should be placed slightly above point D.
By combining the Dragon Harmonic Pattern indicator with precise Fibonacci ratio analysis, traders can identify key opportunities while minimizing risks and improving their decision-making in both bullish and bearish market conditions.

Supply and Demand Dashboard [tambangEA]The Supply and Demand Dashboard is an advanced Pine Script indicator that revolutionizes Supply and Demand analysis. Designed for traders, it enables multi-pair and multi-timeframe detection of supply and demand structures, offering a comprehensive and efficient trading experience.
________________________________________
Some Candles represent Accumulation/Distribution of Orders while others do not
-Boring Candles (Candle with Body Range <=50% of Candle Range):
They imply that transactions are happening in a range thus Demand and Supply is in balance and orders are potentially being accumulated/distributed by the Big Boys
-Exciting Candles (Candle with Body Range > 50% of Candle Range) :
They imply imbalance between Demand and Supply thus price starts moving either up or down.
Zones is made up of 3 (three) components : Leg In, Base and Leg Out
-Leg In (Exciting Candles to the Left of Basing)
-Base will always be Boring Candles.
-Leg Out (Exciting Candles to the Right of Basing) will always be Exciting Candles.
There are 4 (four) types of Zones , namely:
1.Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) : This structure represents a bullish continuation zone. It occurs when the price rallies (increases), forms a base (consolidates), and then rallies again. The base represents a period where buying interest builds up before the continuation of the upward movement. This zone can act as support, where buyers may step back in if the price revisits the area.
2.Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) : This structure marks a bullish reversal zone. It forms when the price drops, creates a base, and then rallies. The base indicates a potential exhaustion of selling pressure and a build-up of buying interest. When price revisits this zone, it may act as support, signaling a buying opportunity.
3.Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) : This structure signifies a bearish reversal zone. Here, the price rallies, consolidates into a base, and then drops. The base indicates a temporary balance before sellers overpower buyers. If price returns to this zone, it may act as resistance, with selling interest potentially re-emerging.
4.Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) : This structure is a bearish continuation zone. It occurs when the price drops, forms a base, and then continues dropping. This base reflects a pause before further downward movement. The zone may act as resistance, with sellers possibly stepping back in if the price revisits the area.
________________________________________
a R (Rally) or a D (Drop) is always 1 (one) bar, but the B (Base) can be 1 (one) to maximum 6 (six) bars

Usage in Real Trading
There are 2 (two) ways to use the Supply and Demand Dashboard in Real Trading :
1. Prices will potentially touch the Demand Zone first and then continue their Bullish trend.
2. If multiple timeframes show the same zone, then a trend is likely to occur (image above)
example:
MultiTime Frame shows DBD then it is possible that the Trend will go down
________________________________________
Look at the image below :
• Top Left: M15 (15-Min Chart) – Dashboard Overview.
• Bottom Left: M30 (30-Min Chart) – DBD formed.
• Top Right: H4 (4-Hour Chart) – DBD confirmed.
• Bottom Right: D1 (Daily Chart) – "Shadow" shows RBR from the previous candle.
________________________________________
Use Cases
Swing Trading: Spot long-term supply and demand zones across higher timeframes for strategic trade entries.
Day Trading: Use the shadow dashboard to focus on recently breached zones for potential short-term trades.

This indicator with its multi-pair and multi-timeframe capabilities, the Supply and Demand Dashboard is a tool that makes it easier for us to see the zone at a glance.
Intelligent Support & Resistance Lines (MTF)This script automatically detects and updates key Support & Resistance (S/R) levels using a higher timeframe (MTF) approach. By leveraging volume confirmation, levels are only identified when significant volume (relative to the SMA of volume) appears. Each level is drawn horizontally in real time, and whenever the market breaks above a resistance level (and retests it), the script automatically converts that resistance into support. The opposite occurs if the market breaks below a support level.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Data
Select a higher timeframe for more robust S/R calculations.
The script fetches High, Low, Volume, and SMA of Volume from the chosen timeframe.
Automatic Role Reversal
Resistance becomes Support if a breakout retest occurs.
Support becomes Resistance if a breakdown retest occurs.
Dynamic Line Width & Labeling
Each S/R line’s thickness increases with additional touches, making frequently tested levels easier to spot.
Labels automatically display the number of touches (e.g., “R 3” or “S 2”) and can have adjustable text size.
Volume Threshold
Only significant pivots (where volume exceeds a specified multiplier of average volume) are plotted, reducing noise.
Horizontal Offset for Clarity
Lines are drawn with timestamps instead of bar_index, ensuring that old levels remain visible without chart limitations.
Adjustable Maximum Levels
Maintain a clean chart by limiting how many S/R lines remain at once.
How It Works:
Pivot Detection: The script identifies swing highs and lows from the higher timeframe (timeframeSR).
Volume Check: Only pivots with volume ≥ (SMA Volume * volumeThreshold) qualify.
Line Creation & Updates: New lines are drawn at these pivots, labeled “R #” or “S #,” indicating how many times they’ve been touched.
Role Reversal: If price breaks above a resistance and retests it from above, that line is removed from the resistance array and re-created in the support array (and vice versa).
Inputs:
Timeframe for S/R: Choose the higher timeframe for S/R calculations.
Swing Length: Number of bars to consider in a pivot calculation.
Minimum Touches: Minimum required touches before drawing or updating a level.
Volume Threshold (Multiplier): Determines how much volume (relative to SMA) is needed to confirm a pivot.
Maximum Number of Levels: Caps how many S/R lines can be shown at once.
Color for Resistance & Color for Support: Customize your preferred colors for lines and labels.
Label Size: Select from "tiny", "small", "normal", "large", or "huge" to resize the labels.
Disclaimer:
This script is intended for educational purposes and should not be interpreted as financial or investment advice. Always conduct your own research or consult a qualified professional before making trading decisions.

Linear Regression Channel [TradingFinder] Existing Trend Line🔵 Introduction
The Linear Regression Channel indicator is one of the technical analysis tool, widely used to identify support, resistance, and analyze upward and downward trends.
The Linear Regression Channel comprises five main components : the midline, representing the linear regression line, and the support and resistance lines, which are calculated based on the distance from the midline using either standard deviation or ATR.
This indicator leverages linear regression to forecast price changes based on historical data and encapsulates price movements within a price channel.
The upper and lower lines of the channel, which define resistance and support levels, assist traders in pinpointing entry and exit points, ultimately aiding better trading decisions.
When prices approach these channel lines, the likelihood of interaction with support or resistance levels increases, and breaking through these lines may signal a price reversal or continuation.
Due to its precision in identifying price trends, analyzing trend reversals, and determining key price levels, the Linear Regression Channel indicator is widely regarded as a reliable tool across financial markets such as Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identifying Entry Signals
One of the primary uses of this indicator is recognizing buy signals. The lower channel line acts as a support level, and when the price nears this line, the likelihood of an upward reversal increases.
In an uptrend : When the price approaches the lower channel line and signs of upward reversal (e.g., reversal candlesticks or high trading volume) are observed, it is considered a buy signal.
In a downtrend : If the price breaks the lower channel line and subsequently re-enters the channel, it may signal a trend change, offering a buying opportunity.
🟣 Identifying Exit Signals
The Linear Regression Channel is also used to identify sell signals. The upper channel line generally acts as a resistance level, and when the price approaches this line, the likelihood of a price decrease increases.
In an uptrend : Approaching the upper channel line and observing weakness in the uptrend (e.g., declining volume or reversal patterns) indicates a sell signal.
In a downtrend : When the price reaches the upper channel line and reverses downward, this is considered a signal to exit trades.
🟣 Analyzing Channel Breakouts
The Linear Regression Channel allows traders to identify price breakouts as strong signals of potential trend changes.
Breaking the upper channel line : Indicates buyer strength and the likelihood of a continued uptrend, often accompanied by increased trading volume.
Breaking the lower channel line : Suggests seller dominance and the possibility of a continued downtrend, providing a strong sell signal.
🟣 Mean Reversion Analysis
A key concept in using the Linear Regression Channel is the tendency for prices to revert to the midline of the channel, which acts as a dynamic moving average, reflecting the price's equilibrium over time.
In uptrends : Significant deviations from the midline increase the likelihood of a price retracement toward the midline.
In downtrends : When prices deviate considerably from the midline, a return toward the midline can be used to identify potential reversal points.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Market Environment🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Market Environment Indicator provides traders with an essential contextual framework for analyzing price movements. Built on the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool offers a structured view of how institutional players drive markets through liquidity manipulation and price level interactions. By defining the market environment, the indicator helps traders focus on the most relevant price zones, reducing distractions and enhancing decision-making.
At its core, the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) creates a clear structure of protected highs/lows and Premium/Discount zones , highlighting key areas for potential price reactions. This framework gives traders a lens to interpret market behavior and concentrate on meaningful liquidity zones and price action. The indicator helps traders navigate the market with precision, spotting significant opportunities while filtering out market noise. Indeed, the IBDR isn't always easily identifiable, and not every move will form a distinct dealing range.
This indicator goes beyond mere price levels… It reveals the larger market context in which prices evolve. By mastering this environment, traders can align their strategies with institutional logic and make well-informed decisions.
💎 FEATURES
The Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) is a crucial concept within the ICT methodology that helps traders identify the market environment across multiple timeframes, specifically the premium and discount zones. The IBDR delineates areas where traders have the potential to buy low and sell high.
Its extremes are defined by the sweep of both buy-side and sell-side liquidity . These levels indicate the boundaries within which price is expected to evolve . Understanding these boundaries allows traders to determine where it is appropriate to enter or exit trades.
The primary goal of utilizing the IBDR is to capitalize on price movements by buying at discounted levels and selling at premium levels. This strategy aligns with the fundamental principle of trading: to buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices, maximizing profit potential.
By visualizing the IBDR on your charts, you can gain valuable insights into the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions that align with the institutional approach to buying and selling.
This chart illustrates the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) applied to the US100 index, displaying two from different timeframes: a 1-hour (1h) IBDR on the left and a 30-minute (30m) IBDR on the right. This multi-timeframe view provides essential context for price action analysis.
The 1h IBDR could here function as the primary reference range, establishing key boundaries (High and Low) for price movement. Within this range, the Equilibrium (midpoint) separates the Premium zone (above) from the Discount zone (below). The 0.25 and 0.75 levels add further precision by subdividing these zones.
Price action then flows between these zones, creating and targeting liquidity at higher and lower levels through Relative Equal Highs and Lows. A strong upward movement into the deeper level of the Premium Zone captures high-side liquidity (with a notable reaction at the FVG on the left), forming a secondary 30m IBDR. After this liquidity sweep, the remaining liquidity is on the low side. Price then reverses downward toward it. Here, the 30m IBDR would suggest a confirmation for a potential sell entry by targeting the IBDR lows.
The relationship between the broader 1h IBDR, the more detailed 30m IBDR, and all related levels creates a powerful analytical framework. The larger timeframe provides context, while the smaller one reveals specific trading opportunities by providing entry confirmations.
✨ SETTINGS
IBDR Metrics: Adjust the timeframe and sensitivity for calculating the IBDR so traders can adapt the indicator to both short-term intraday movements and longer-term trends.
Premium/Discount Zones: Customize the levels such as 0, 0.5, 1, and other levels like 0.25 and 0.75 by default and their displayed colors and associated labels.
Alerts: Configure the alerts for Premium/Discount zones, High/Low breaks, and new IBDR, ensuring traders are kept up to date on key market events.
🎯 CONCLUSION
The Market Environment indicator serves as a powerful tool for analyzing and navigating market structure through liquidity zones. It helps identify optimal buy and sell areas while aligning with the institutional logic of major market players. While its features provide a valuable edge, it’s essential to remember that none should be used on its own, and many more factors go into being a profitable trader.
ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Momentum Structures🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Momentum Structures Indicator builds upon the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) to give traders a clearer view of market dynamics. These methods reveal how institutional trading activity shapes price movements, particularly through different types of market liquidity.
The indicator is designed to provide traders with advanced insights into market dynamics by focusing on key price imbalances and higher-timeframe structures . By combining these elements, the indicator allows users to analyze price behavior across multiple timeframes, helping them anticipate potential liquidity pools and price reversals. The emphasis on price imbalances and liquidity zones makes it a versatile tool for both intraday and longer-term strategies, providing critical insights for understanding market cycles and potential turning points.
💎 FEATURES
Imbalance Bar Colors / Zones
Imbalances are fundamental components of the ICT methodology, highlighting areas where price accelerates, creating gaps that may indicate a lack of liquidity . These voids often point to potential reversal or continuation zones in the price action.
An imbalance typically arises when supply and demand are out of balance, resulting in a gap between price levels. Traders keep a close eye on these gaps, as they could present opportunities to enter trades when the price revisits them , as they suggest a strong institutional interest.
We can notice two types of imbalances… A Fair Value Gap (FVG) usually forms from three consecutive candles, defining the space between the wicks of the first and last candle. Conversely, a Volume Imbalance (VI) occurs when a gap appears between the opening and closing prices of two consecutive candles. When these imbalances align with FVGs, they offer a well-rounded framework for assessing market strength.
By analyzing both FVGs and VIs together, traders can gain valuable insight into potential price movements and better evaluate the likelihood of continuation or reversal.
This chart illustrates the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Volume Imbalances (VI) within the GBPUSD price action. The FVG Bar Color and FVG Zone represent the same Fair Value Gaps, and similarly, the VI Bar Color and VI Zone display the same Volume Imbalances. They highlight areas where rapid price movements have created gaps in the market. These gaps indicate potential zones for trade entries or exits as the price may return to fill them. As we can see on the chart, the major part of imbalances created has already been filled. They constitute really interesting Point of Interest (POI).
The 50% FVG line marks the midpoint of the gap, which is often considered an important level for price action. A clear example appears in the Bearish FVG on the top left, where price first filled it below the midline, creating a small reaction. The price then liquidated this "fake mitigation" by moving just above the midline before beginning its significant downward movement. This demonstrates the crucial role of imbalances and how precisely price interacts with them.
Traders can use this information to identify potential buying or selling opportunities based on the interaction of price with these gaps and volume imbalances, aiding in the development of their trading strategies.
PO3 Candles (Power of Three)
The Power of Three is a critical concept in the ICT methodology that analyzes Higher Timeframe (HTF) candles focusing on the opening price, high wick, low wick, and closing price. This framework helps traders understand the current market cycle, in three phases , and its trading implications.
Accumulation Phase: In this initial phase, the price consolidates around the opening price as the market gathers liquidity. This often signals that larger players are positioning for the next move.
Manipulation Phase: Represented by the candle wicks, this phase indicates the extreme points where liquidity grabs often occur. Observing these wicks helps traders identify the end of the accumulation phase and potential turning points.
Distribution Phase: The candle body reflects a decisive price movement in one direction , following accumulation and manipulation. Traders align with the direction of this phase to capture the “real candle move”.
Our indicator provides you with the valuable capability to integrate the True Day Range, as defined by ICT. This concept, rooted in institutional logic, defines a trading day as starting at 00:00 New York time. You can customize it to match your trading style and analysis needs.
You can also overlay imbalances (FVG and VI) directly onto PO3 Candles, seamlessly combining imbalance detection with high-timeframe price action. This approach gives you a sharper market perspective, uncovering potential turning points with greater clarity.
In summary, PO3 Candles help traders assess the market structure and identify cycle positions on HTF candles, enabling them to make more strategic trading decisions, which allows for better entry and exit timing, avoiding traps, and seizing the best opportunities to capture significant market moves.
This chart illustrates the application of the Power of Three concept to EURUSD price action, highlighting key phases of market behavior.
In this example, we observe the Daily candles, where a significant Bullish imbalance appears from previous days, forming a Fair Value Gap (FVG). Additionally, there’s a small Volume Imbalance (VI) at the candle's opening, signaling liquidity that the price needs to fill.
Now, focusing on the Weekly candle, we can clearly identify its phases. First, there's an accumulation phase around the opening price, which, as shown by the Daily candles, took some time to develop. Then, the manipulation phase occurs, signaled by the upper wick of the Weekly candle, which liquidates the previously created accumulation. It’s time to look for a potential selling position... Finally, the price falls, beginning to form its bearish body and completing the real move of the week.
This framework allows traders to better understand the market structure and make informed decisions based on the current cycle.
Standard Deviation (STD)
The Standard Deviation (STD) is a concept within the ICT methodology that focuses on identifying periods of consolidation within the market. Specifically, it examines the Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR) , which occurs between 13:00 and 23:00 New York time. During this period, the market often exhibits consolidation , creating an environment where price action stabilizes before making significant moves.
This consolidation forms the basis of the Standard Deviation (STD) concept. This is based on the idea that the volatility observed during this consolidation phase can be used to anticipate future market volatility. Once this consolidation is identified, the STD framework duplicates the established range both above and below the consolidation area.
As price approaches these duplicated levels, it offers traders critical information on where to anticipate potential reactions. If the price nears the upper boundary of the consolidation, it suggests a potential reversal point, indicating an opportunity to consider selling. Conversely, if the price approaches the lower boundary, it may signal an opportunity to look for buying positions . This duplication could enable traders to determine potential high and low points for the trading day or week for example.
Finally, the Standard Deviation (STD) concept provides a valuable framework for identifying potential key reaction points in the market by leveraging consolidation within the CBDR. By duplicating these ranges, traders can anticipate significant price movements and refine their strategies.
This chart illustrates the Standard Deviation (STD) concept applied to EURUSD price action. The highlighted areas in blue indicate high duplications and low duplications derived from the consolidation identified during the Central Bank Dealing Range (CBDR), marked by the dark gray rectangle.
The high duplications represent potential resistance levels, suggesting areas where the price may encounter selling pressure, while the low duplications signify potential support levels, indicating where buying interest could emerge.
The annotations emphasize how price reacts at these duplicated levels, showing the critical role of the STD in determining where price movements may stall or reverse. In this example, the price responded perfectly to both an upward and a downward duplication, confirming that these levels could represent the day's high and low, an observation validated here. This highlights the precision of price movements, with the price stopping exactly at the full duplication levels (but we can not that the price could also have paused at the midline levels, indicated by the dashed gray lines).
This visualization helps traders anticipate potential reactions and align their strategies with market dynamics, ensuring informed decision-making based on established price behavior.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Time & Price Zones🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Time and Price Zones indicator builds upon the foundational concepts of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC). These methodologies analyze the behavior of institutional traders (known as "smart money") by focusing on liquidity, key price levels, and market timing.
Liquidity refers to areas with high concentrations of pending orders (stops, take-profits, entries) in the market. Large institutions efficiently need to execute their massive orders without causing excessive slippage. To achieve this, they strategically create and exploit liquidity pools by driving the price toward areas where retail traders cluster their positions.
Then, through "liquidity grabs" or "stop hunts,” institutions accumulate or distribute positions at optimal prices . This strategy allows them to fill large orders with minimal market impact, typically clearing out retail traders' positions before the price reverses.
This indicator helps traders apply these principles by merging time-based and price-based analysis tools for better market understanding. By combining high-impact sessions like Kill Zones with pivotal price markers such as Previous Highs and Lows, traders can see where institutional activity intersects with liquidity pools, improving their decision-making.
This powerful combination allows users to monitor market dynamics in real time, helping them spot sentiment shifts and identify crucial turning points more effectively.
💎 FEATURES
Kill Zones
Kill Zones are critical periods of the trading day characterized by heightened institutional activity, resulting in increased liquidity and significant price movements. By recognizing these zones, you can strategically focus your efforts on the most advantageous moments for trading.
The Asian Session , which runs from 5 PM to 1 AM New York time, serves as an essential liquidity provider before the onset of more volatile trading periods. This session is intricately linked to the Smart Money Tool (SMT - See below), as the highs and lows established during this period provide foundational liquidity levels. You can set alerts when these levels are breached , allowing you to stay informed without constant chart monitoring and make timely trading decisions.
Transitioning into the London Kill Zone from 2 to 5 AM New York time marks the beginning of the European session, often associated with increased volatility. Following this, the New York Kill Zone , occurring from 7 to 10 AM , sees significant overlap between the London and New York sessions, where liquidity flows intensify and frequently correlate with notable price reversals. Finally, the London Close from 10 to 12 PM signifies the end of the European session, often ending the day with a retracement in the daily range.
Thanks to the timezone you can select relative to a region, Kill Zones will automatically adapt to time changes throughout the year and between different brokers , ensuring accurate Kill Zone timings without manual adjustments.
Incorporating our advanced Kill Zones indicator into your trading strategy gives you unparalleled insights and enhanced functionality. With integrated alerts for breaches of key levels, you can stay informed and ready to act without the need for constant chart monitoring, allowing you to focus on executing your trading strategies effectively.
We can see on this chart the identified Kill Zones during the trading day on EURUSD , including the Asian Session in gray, which tends to consolidate slightly (creating liquidity), the London Kill Zone in orange, which tends to move fast, often taking Asian quickly, the New York Kill Zone in green, with always a lot of movements, and the London Close in blue, seeming rather to retrace.
The midline indicates the 50% mark of the session, serving as a reference point for potential price reactions. Additionally, the highs and lows established during the Asian Session are linked to the Smart Money Tool (SMT) and can trigger alerts when breached. Here, you could have received an alert when Asian Low (marked AL) and Asian High (marked AH) were swept.
Previous & Open Levels
Previous and Open levels are key elements in ICT methodology, showing important price points from major timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly). These levels (Previous High, Low, Open, and their separators) help traders understand price dynamics and anticipate market shifts.
The Previous levels connect directly to the Smart Money Tool (SMT - See below) as they provide foundational liquidity levels. In ICT methodology, previous are levels where many traders place their Stop Loss, thus creating liquidity. This helps you understand potential market reactions and whether prices will likely continue their trend or reverse.
You’ll be instantly notified whenever the price interacts with any of these Previous levels. This means you can stay informed about critical market movements without the need to monitor your charts constantly.
The indicator also displays Opening prices and includes separators for daily, weekly, and monthly levels, offering a clear market overview.
Open levels can act as simplified indicators of Premium and Discount Zones. To be above the opening price can be considered as the Premium Zone , where the market offers higher prices, typically suitable for selling opportunities. Conversely, to be below this price can be considered as the Discount Zone , where prices are relatively lower, offering potential buying opportunities.
These visual elements help you identify crucial market zones that reflect both past price action and current market dynamics.
Our indicator offers you the exclusive ability to integrate the True Day Range, as described by ICT. Based on institutional logic, this concept defines the trading day starting at 00:00 New York time. You can adapt this flexible feature to match your trading style and analysis needs.
By incorporating our advanced Previous levels indicator into your trading arsenal, you gain powerful insights and enhanced functionality.
The chart above displays key Previous and open levels on EURUSD , including the Month, Week, and Day lines, along with separators for enhanced clarity. All levels are based on the True Day Range Mode. The notes indicate significant price points, highlighting how the price interacts with these important levels, which helps us to understand it…
We can start with the biggest liquidity, the Previous Month. In this example, we can see the PMH, and the price seems to have used this level as a reversal point. The PM levels are indeed significant liquidity zones. We can observe the creation of wicks that interact with this level, signaling a liquidity grab.
Following this, the price drops quickly before rebounding, creating a liquidity range, that will probably be liquidated then… This is why it rises again to form what is now the PDH (Previous Day High), using it as liquidity (inducement) while using the PWH (Previous Week High) as a rebound level. The PWH is indeed a High Resistance (HR) area since there is only a few liquidity at this point thanks to the liquidity grab. The price has no reason to move higher.
Looking ahead, we can forecast that the price may continue its decline, potentially targeting lower liquidity levels. There is likely additional liquidity beneath the current range, particularly near the PDL (Previous Day Low) and PWL (Previous Week Low).
Additionally, we can note that at this point, the price was above the D.O.P (Daily Open) and W.O.P (Weekly Open), areas where selling would be more favorable. The price reacts significantly around these levels, creating large wicks, demonstrating their importance.
SMT Dashboard (Smart Money Tool)
The Smart Money Tool (SMT) is a powerful concept within the ICT methodology that enables you to compare various assets based on liquidity uptake from significant price levels.
By utilizing the SMT, you can analyze any asset , whether it’s a currency pair, stock, cryptocurrency, or other financial instruments. The dashboard helps you identify the strongest and weakest assets by analyzing their interactions with critical liquidity levels and identifying divergences , including those related to the Previous Month, Previous Week, Previous Day, and Asian Session Highs and Lows. By doing so, he identifies the most bullish symbol. It will therefore tend to rise more easily, or at least fall less, than the other one.
The SMT includes alert functionality that notifies you whenever a new SMT is created or has changed , allowing you to stay informed about which asset is currently the strongest. This means you can react promptly to market changes without constantly monitoring your charts.
Additionally, since the SMT relies on the Previous levels, it is influenced by the selected mode, whether based on traditional Previous levels or the True Day Range . This flexibility ensures that you are using the most relevant information available for your trading decisions. Asian High and Asian Low levels are also calculated according to the schedules configured in the Kill Zones section.
In summary, the Smart Money Tool displays the strongest and weakest assets based on liquidity uptake, providing you with clear information on which asset to prioritize, so you can maximize your potential profits. By incorporating this concept into your approach, you align your decisions with prevailing market dynamics, offering you unparalleled insights and features tailored to enhance your trading strategy.
This chart displays the Smart Money Tool (SMT) dashboard on the GBPUSD symbol, which compares the liquidity uptake for EURUSD and GBPUSD pairs. The indicator shows that both Previous Month's and Week's High and Low were taken for both pairs. However, the Asian High (AH) has been breached on GBPUSD but not on EURUSD, while the Asian Low (AL) has been taken by EURUSD. As a result, GBPUSD is identified as the stronger asset, indicating that traders should focus on buying opportunities with GBPUSD rather than EURUSD. This analysis helps traders prioritize the best symbol for their strategies based on the most relevant liquidity divergences.
