ICT Donchian Smart Money Structure (Expo)█ Concept Overview
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology is focused on understanding the actions and implications of the so-called "smart money" - large institutions and professional traders who often influence market movements. Key to this is the concept of market structure and how it can provide insights into potential price moves.
Over time, however, there has been a notable shift in how some traders interpret and apply this methodology. Initially, it was designed with a focus on the fractal nature of markets. Fractals are recurring patterns in price action that are self-similar across different time scales, providing a nuanced and dynamic understanding of market structure.
However, as the ICT methodology has grown in popularity, there has been a drift away from this fractal-based perspective. Instead, many traders have started to focus more on pivot points as their primary tool for understanding market structure.
Pivot points provide static levels of potential support and resistance. While they can be useful in some contexts, relying heavily on them could provide a skewed perspective of market structure. They offer a static, backward-looking view that may not accurately reflect real-time changes in market sentiment or the dynamic nature of markets.
This shift from a fractal-based perspective to a pivot point perspective has significant implications. It can lead traders to misinterpret market structure and potentially make incorrect trading decisions.
To highlight this issue, you've developed a Donchian Structure indicator that mirrors the use of pivot points. The Donchian Channels are formed by the highest high and the lowest low over a certain period, providing another representation of potential market extremes. The fact that the Donchian Structure indicator produces the same results as pivot points underscores the inherent limitations of relying too heavily on these tools.
While the Donchian Structure indicator or pivot points can be useful tools, they should not replace the original, fractal-based perspective of the ICT methodology. These tools can provide a broad overview of market structure but may not capture the intricate dynamics and real-time changes that a fractal-based approach can offer.
It's essential for traders to understand these differences and to apply these tools correctly within the broader context of the ICT methodology and the Smart Money Concept Structure. A well-rounded approach that incorporates fractals, along with other tools and forms of analysis, is likely to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of market structure.
█ Smart Money Concept - Misunderstandings
The Smart Money Concept is a popular concept among traders, and it's based on the idea that the "smart money" - typically large institutional investors, market makers, and professional traders - have superior knowledge or information, and their actions can provide valuable insight for other traders.
One of the biggest misunderstandings with this concept is the belief that tracking smart money activity can guarantee profitable trading.
█ Here are a few common misconceptions:
Following Smart Money Equals Guaranteed Success: Many traders believe that if they can follow the smart money, they will be successful. However, tracking the activity of large institutional investors and other professionals isn't easy, as they use complex strategies, have access to information not available to the public, and often intentionally hide their moves to prevent others from detecting their strategies.
Instantaneous Reaction and Results: Another misconception is that market movements will reflect smart money actions immediately. However, large institutions often slowly accumulate or distribute positions over time to avoid moving the market drastically. As a result, their actions might not produce an immediate noticeable effect on the market.
Smart Money Always Wins: It's not accurate to assume that smart money always makes the right decisions. Even the most experienced institutional investors and professional traders make mistakes, misjudge market conditions, or are affected by unpredictable events.
Smart Money Activity is Transparent: Understanding what constitutes smart money activity can be quite challenging. There are many indicators and metrics that traders use to try and track smart money, such as the COT (Commitments of Traders) reports, Level II market data, block trades, etc. However, these can be difficult to interpret correctly and are often misleading.
Assuming Uniformity Among Smart Money: 'Smart Money' is not a monolithic entity. Different institutional investors and professional traders have different strategies, risk tolerances, and investment horizons. What might be a good trade for a long-term institutional investor might not be a good trade for a short-term professional trader, and vice versa.
█ Market Structure
The Smart Money Concept Structure deals with the interpretation of price action that forms the market structure, focusing on understanding key shifts or changes in the market that may indicate where 'smart money' (large institutional investors and professional traders) might be moving in the market.
█ Three common concepts in this regard are Change of Character (CHoCH), and Shift in Market Structure (SMS), Break of Structure (BMS/BoS).
Change of Character (CHoCH): This refers to a noticeable change in the behavior of price movement, which could suggest that a shift in the market might be about to occur. This might be signaled by a sudden increase in volatility, a break of a trendline, or a change in volume, among other things.
Shift in Market Structure (SMS): This is when the overall structure of the market changes, suggesting a potential new trend. It usually involves a sequence of lower highs and lower lows for a downtrend, or higher highs and higher lows for an uptrend.
Break of Structure (BMS/BoS): This is when a previously defined trend or pattern in the price structure is broken, which may suggest a trend continuation.
A key component of this approach is the use of fractals, which are repeating patterns in price action that can give insights into potential market reversals. They appear at all scales of a price chart, reflecting the self-similar nature of markets.
█ Market Structure - Misunderstandings
One of the biggest misunderstandings about the ICT approach is the over-reliance or incorrect application of pivot points. Pivot points are a popular tool among traders due to their simplicity and easy-to-understand nature. However, when it comes to the Smart Money Concept and trying to follow the steps of professional traders or large institutions, relying heavily on pivot points can create misconceptions and lead to confusion. Here's why:
Delayed and Static Information: Pivot points are inherently backward-looking because they're calculated based on the previous period's data. As such, they may not reflect real-time market dynamics or sudden changes in market sentiment. Furthermore, they present a static view of market structure, delineating pre-defined levels of support and resistance. This static nature can be misleading because markets are fundamentally dynamic and constantly changing due to countless variables.
Inadequate Representation of Market Complexity: Markets are influenced by a myriad of factors, including economic indicators, geopolitical events, institutional actions, and market sentiment, among others. Relying on pivot points alone for reading market structure oversimplifies this complexity and can lead to a myopic understanding of market dynamics.
False Signals and Misinterpretations: Pivot points can often give false signals, especially in volatile markets. Prices might react to these levels temporarily but then continue in the original direction, leading to potential misinterpretation of market structure and sentiment. Also, a trader might wrongly perceive a break of a pivot point as a significant market event, when in fact, it could be due to random price fluctuations or temporary volatility.
Over-simplification: Viewing market structure only through the lens of pivot points simplifies the market to static levels of support and resistance, which can lead to misinterpretation of market dynamics. For instance, a trader might view a break of a pivot point as a definite sign of a trend, when it could just be a temporary price spike.
Ignoring the Fractal Nature of Markets: In the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure, understanding the fractal nature of markets is crucial. Fractals are self-similar patterns that repeat at all scales and provide a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of market structure. They can help traders identify shifts in market sentiment or direction in real-time, providing more relevant and timely information compared to pivot points.
The key takeaway here is not that pivot points should be entirely avoided or that they're useless. They can provide valuable insights and serve as a useful tool in a trader's toolbox when used correctly. However, they should not be the sole or primary method for understanding the market structure, especially in the context of the Smart Money Concept Structure.
█ Fractals
Instead, traders should aim for a comprehensive understanding of markets that incorporates a range of tools and concepts, including but not limited to fractals, order flow, volume analysis, fundamental analysis, and, yes, even pivot points. Fractals offer a more dynamic and nuanced view of the market. They reflect the recursive nature of markets and can provide valuable insights into potential market reversals. Because they appear at all scales of a price chart, they can provide a more holistic and real-time understanding of market structure.
In contrast, the Smart Money Concept Structure, focusing on fractals and comprehensive market analysis, aims to capture a more holistic and real-time view of the market. Fractals, being self-similar patterns that repeat at different scales, offer a dynamic understanding of market structure. As a result, they can help to identify shifts in market sentiment or direction as they happen, providing a more detailed and timely perspective.
Furthermore, a comprehensive market analysis would consider a broader set of factors, including order flow, volume analysis, and fundamental analysis, which could provide additional insights into 'smart money' actions.
█ Donchian Structure
Donchian Channels are a type of indicator used in technical analysis to identify potential price breakouts and trends, and they may also serve as a tool for understanding market structure. The channels are formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low over a certain number of periods, creating an envelope of price action.
Donchian Channels (or pivot points) can be useful tools for providing a general view of market structure, and they may not capture the intricate dynamics associated with the Smart Money Concept Structure. A more nuanced approach, centered on real-time fractals and a comprehensive analysis of various market factors, offers a more accurate understanding of 'smart money' actions and market structure.
█ Here is why Donchian Structure may be misleading:
Lack of Nuance: Donchian Channels, like pivot points, provide a simplified view of market structure. They don't take into account the nuanced behaviors of price action or the complex dynamics between buyers and sellers that can be critical in the Smart Money Concept Structure.
Limited Insights into 'Smart Money' Actions: While Donchian Channels can highlight potential breakout points and trends, they don't necessarily provide insights into the actions of 'smart money'. These large institutional traders often use sophisticated strategies that can't be easily inferred from price action alone.
█ Indicator Overview
We have built this Donchian Structure indicator to show that it returns the same results as using pivot points. The Donchian Structure indicator can be a useful tool for market analysis. However, it should not be seen as a direct replacement or equivalent to the original Smart Money concept, nor should any indicator based on pivot points. The indicator highlights the importance of understanding what kind of trading tools we use and how they can affect our decisions.
The Donchian Structure Indicator displays CHoCH, SMS, BoS/BMS, as well as premium and discount areas. This indicator plots everything in real-time and allows for easy backtesting on any market and timeframe. A unique candle coloring has been added to make it more engaging and visually appealing when identifying new trading setups and strategies. This candle coloring is "leading," meaning it can signal a structural change before it actually happens, giving traders ample time to plan their next trade accordingly.
█ How to use
The indicator is great for traders who want to simplify their view on the market structure and easily backtest Smart Money Concept Strategies. The added candle coloring function serves as a heads-up for structure change or can be used as trend confirmation. This new candle coloring feature can generate many new Smart Money Concepts strategies.
█ Features
Market Structure
The market structure is based on the Donchian channel, to which we have added what we call 'Structure Response'. This addition makes the indicator more useful, especially in trending markets. The core concept involves traders buying at a discount and selling or shorting at a premium, depending on the order flow. Structure response enables traders to determine the order flow more clearly. Consequently, more trading opportunities will appear in trending markets.
Structure Candles
Structure Candles highlight the current order flow and are significantly more responsive to structural changes. They can provide traders with a heads-up before a break in structure occurs

Miyagi BacktesterMiyagi: The attempt at mastering something for the best results.
Miyagi indicators combine multiple trigger conditions and place them in one toolbox for traders to easily use, produce alerts, backtest, reduce risk and increase profitability.
The Miyagi Backtester is a standalone backtester which is to be applied to the chart after the Miyagi indicator to be backtested.
The backtester can only backtest one script at a time, and is meant to backtest ONCE PER BAR CLOSE entries.
It is currently not possible to backtest ONCE PER BAR entries.
The backtester will allow users to all Miyagi Indicators using DCA strategies to show returns over a selectable time period.
The backtester allows leverage, and as such users should be aware of the Maximum Amount for Bot Usage and Leverage Required Calculations.
The DCA Selector switch will allow users to backtest with, or without DCA.
Static DCA is used within the backtester and allows users to see DCA Statistics on closed trades.
How to use the Miyagi Backtester
Step 1: Apply the Miyagi Indicator of Choice to backtest (4in1/10in1/Strend).
DATE AND TIME RANGE:
-Date and time range to backtest.
TRADE:
-Entry source to backtest. Please select the "Outbound Entry Signal Sender"
-Trade Direction to backtest. This can be helpful to backtest according to your strategy (long or short).
-Take Profit % to backtest. This is the percent take profit to backtest. Slippage can be accounted for on the "Properties" tab.
-Stoploss % to backtest. This is the percent stoploss to backtest.
DCA:
DCA Checkbox: Enable the DCA Checkbox to backtest with DCA. Disable it to backtest without DCA.
Leverage: Input the Leverage you will trade with.
Base Order Size (% Equity): This is the Base order (BO) size to backtest in % of equity.
Safety Order Size (% Equity): This is the Safety order (SO) size to backtest in % of equity.
Number of DCA Orders: This is the maximum amount of DCA orders to place, or total DCA orders.
Price Deviation (% from initial order): This is the percent at which the first safety is placed.
Safety Order Step Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the deviation for the step calculation to determine next SO placement.
Safety Order Volume Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the safety orders for the volume calculation to determine SO Volume.
Real world DCA Example:
The process is as follows.
Base Order: This is your initial order size, $100 used for Base Order
Safety Order: This is your first safety order size, which is placed at the deviation. $100 Safety Order, it is good to keep the same size as your BO for your scaling to be effective.
Price deviation: This is the deviation at which your first Safety order is placed. 0.3-0.75% used by most of our members.
Safety Order Volume Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the safety orders for the volume calculation. Scale of 2 used, which means that SO2 = (SO1) * 2, or $200. This scaling is typical for all following orders and as such SO3 = (SO2) *2, or $400.
Safety Order Step Scale: This is the scale at which is applied to the deviation for the step calculation. This is similar to the volume scale however the last order percentage is added.
Scale of 2 used, which means that SO2 % = ((Deviation) * 2) + (SO1%). (0.5% *2) + (0.5) = 1.5%.
This scaling is typical for all following orders except that the prior deviation is used and as such SO3 = ((Prior%) * 2) + (Deviation). (1.5% * 2) +(0.5%) or 3.5%.
Total SO Number: The calculations will continue going until the last SO. It is helpful to understand the amount of SO’s and scaling determines how efficient your DCA is.
Backtester Outputs include:
Net Profit to display net profit
Daily Net Profit to estimate
Percent Profitable which shows ratio of winning trades to losing trades.
Total Trades
Winning Trades
Losing Trades (only applicable if stoploss is used)
Buy & Hold Return (of the backtested asset) to compare if the strategy used beats buy & hold return.
Avg Trade Time is very helpful to see average trade time.
Max Trade Time is very helpful to see the maximum trade time.
Total Backtested Time will return total backtested time.
Initial Capital which is taken from the Properties tab.
Max amount for Bot Usage which can be helpful to see bot usage.
Leverage Required will show you the leverage required to sustain the DCA configuration.
Total SO Deviation will allow users to see the drop coverage their DCA provides.
Max Spent which is a % of total account spent on one trade.
Max Drawdown which displays the maximum drawdown of any trade.
Max % distance from entry shows the maximum distance price went away from entry prior to the trade closing.
Max SO Used which shows the maximum number of SO's used on a single trade
Avg SO Used which shows the average number of SO's used in all closed trades.
Deals closing with BO Only calculation will show how many trades are closed without DCA.
Deals closing with 1-7 SOs calculation will show how many trades are closed with DCA, and allow for fine-tuning.
Happy Trading!
This script will be effective to backtest and produce the best settings for each timeframe and pair across all STP Scripts.
This will take a lot of the manual work out of backtesting for our users while improving profit potential.
Happy Trading!
FXC Order Block Finder █ OVERVIEW
The FXC Order Bock Finder finds and draws institutional order blocks according to the Smart Money Concept. Order blocks are zones where institutions have most likely left some orders that need to be filled at a later point in time. In These order blocks or POIs can be used to either place limit orders or to look for instant entries as price comes to retest the zone. It works on all time frames but higher time frames tend to be more precise.
█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
The indicator waits for a break of structure (BOS) and then prints a zone if there's an engulfing pattern and an open imbalance. Basically it draws zones where a fake move followed by aggressive buying or selling happened and Imbalances were left open.
█ WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Apart from the fact that I haven’t found any indicator that is able to properly draw order blocks most indicators do re-paint which doesn’t make any sense in the case of the Smart Money Concept.
Furthermore does this indicator have settings that let’s you adjust how the order blocks are drawn. From wick to end of the imbalance or candle close to imbalance. Also you can set how many candles it takes into consideration for the imbalance in case the imbalance starts after the engulfing pattern has formed. And you can set how many candles have to checked to determine a BOS or an internal BOS by using fractal breaks.
█ HOW TO USE IT?
Either place sell limits at the lower end of the order block with SL slightly above the OB and buy limits at the upper end of the OB with SL slightly below the OB. Target a fixed Risk Reward Ratio or trade it to the next order block. By using multi time frame analysis you can determine the overall direction of the market and prevent low probability trades. Also worth mentioning is that order blocks that have been created during high volume sessions tend to result in way better trades than with order blocks that have been printed during the Asia session.
█ ADDITIONAL INFO
As soon as price retested an order block the order block is mitigated and therefore not valid anymore. Also order blocks that are too far back in time are less probable to deliver good trades. In general the win rate tends not to be too high using this method but more often than not there's a reaction as price taps into an order block and trades with high RRR are quite often. As always in trading, proper money management and risk management is key.
█ DISCLAIMER
This is not financial advice. The Indicator spots these zones according to the smart money concept . However there's absolutely no guarantee that a nice order blocks results in a good trade.

Jimmy's Dikfat DaytraderThis Day Trading Indicator applies the use of multiple techniques designed to maximize profits and trade success probability while utilizing proprietary mathematical techniques to calculate specific high probability Pivot Points, Break of Structure, Supply and Demand, previous days High and Low, Liquidity Hunts, Dynamic Trend Lines and Fibonacci Discount Zones. The combination of these techniques combined with unique mathematical calculation & variance allow the user to make an informed analysis to take high probability trades by exposing Market Maker discount zones and highlight smart money purchasing.
Pivot Points: A traditional pivot point is described as an individual candle high that is higher than the previous two candles to the left and forward two candles to the right. Likewise a pivot is also an individual candle low that is lower than the previous two candles to the left and forward two candles to the right. In this indicator standard pivots are highlighted as yellow and white candles. Yellow candles are High or Top Pivots; White Candles are Low or Bottom Pivots. The number of pivots checked for either left or right or both can be changed in the settings. Increasing this value will add more pivot points to the chart, decreasing this value will add less. It is recommended to change values left and right with the same number.
Note: In this study, all traditional pivots will be highlighted by yellow or white for the advanced user, but not all pivot markers will highlight all pivots for the purposes of identifying a high probability trade.
Break of Structure: Break of structure occurs when current price drops below or likewise rises above a pivot point. For the purposes of this study, a break of structure tag will appear over a previous pivot tag ONLY when there is a candle close below or above the previous pivot for the purposes of identifying liquidity hunts and high probability trades. As you will note in the example chart, break of structure is used to determine not only trend but high probability trade areas by identifying market structure. Unbroken pivot highs or lows can be used to take trades, with a stop below the low (or above the high) of the unbroken pivot candle. BOS (Break of Structure) Tags will effectively show where market participants do not want to take a trade and be chopped up in a market that is trending only 30% of the time. BOS also gives future indication of where the Market Makers are taking price action. Breaks of structure in a particular direction typically indicate a continuation of price action in that direction. Trade opportunities occur after the pullback in the opposite direction of break of structure. This highlights areas traders can take on the pullback, in the direction of structure breaks, typically on unbroken pivots.
Note: In this study, not all BOS (Break of Structure) markers will highlight all breaks of structure for the purposes of identifying a high probability trade. Some very few examples of structure is not marked as broken to assist in identifying Liquidity Hunts.
Liquidity Hunt: A Liquidity Hunt is where price action moves in the opposite direction of an intended move (typically with high magnitude and velocity) to gather "Liquidity" and trigger stops created by traders caught in the break of structure zone. Any unbroken pivot is a relevant area of Liquidity. Some of the High probability areas of Liquidity will be found at Equal (or near equal) Lows or Equal High pivots. Current areas of Liquidity are marked on the chart as an Aqua (Light Blue) Background line that extends right infinitely. Once Liquidity has been taken at one of these lines, the Line will "Break" And stop displaying forward. The number of pivots calculated specifically for break of structure and Liquidity Hunts can be changed under the Liquidity Hunt setting. Much like with pivots, it is recommended to change these numbers with the same value for best results.
Due to the complexity of the math, Some liquidity pivots will only confirm and display a pivot tag after twice the candles defined have been found to the left and right under liquidity hunt settings, and some will display after the exact number specified in settings. As noted previous some will not display at all due to the high probability nature of this indicator and having been found as a "cluster" in the Supply and Demand Boxes.
Supply and Demand Boxes: Supply and Demand boxes will be created when a specific number of pivots are found in succession or in a "cluster" and a box will be drawn from the current grouping of pivots, first pivot high to the nearest pivot low in the cluster. This unique style of supply and demand box drawing has been proven to be an effective identifier of buying and selling in the price action, or likewise support or resistance upon return to these boxes. The boxes were specifically designed to identify high probability areas of Supply and Demand and are more likely to be areas of high probability buying and selling. Supply is when price action moves into or creates an area where sellers are waiting. Demand is when price action moves into or creates an area where Buyers are waiting. When price action creates a box, the box will remain Neutral with a white color while Price action remains within the box. This box will turn Red or into a Supply Box, when price action drops below the box boundaries. The box will likewise turn Green or into a Demand Box, when price action rises above the box boundaries. Any return to a colored box from the direction it was created could be anticipated as a retracement to continue in the direction of price action indicated by the box.
In the settings boxes can be extended to the current bar right to show previous areas of supply and demand, or can be left "Truncated" or in box form as a highlighter for cluster analysis.
Previous Days High and Low: The previous days High and low will be displayed on the current day as a magenta line. Some traders use these lines to anticipate price action on the day compared to where price action is moving relative to the previous day. Historical Magenta lines are also the marked on a specific day, for the previous days High and low. Historical Lines can be turned off by reducing Opacity of the setting to Zero, leaving only the previous days high and low on the current day.
Dynamic Trend Lines: Trend Lines will be created automatically that will connect unbroken pivots and extend right, highlighting the current trend. (Coming Soon™️)
Fibonacci Discount Zone: The Fibonacci Discount Zone can be found by measuring an unbroken pivot High or Low, that breaks structure left to create a new High or Low. When structure is broken and price begins a retracement before moving back in the direction of the broken structure, the retracement is typically back into the "Discount Zone" between the 618 and 786 Fibonacci zone. This zone will be automatically plotted as a light grey box in the background of the chart. (Coming Soon™️)
TopTenAlgo 2. HFT AlgoEN: High Frequency Trade Algo TVQ is an advanced algorithmic system developed using Volume Weighted / Exponential Moving Averages, vWap and Ichimoku . Said indicators are re-blended with the Volume Weighted Average ( vWap ) algorithm used by Merryl Lynch or Yapıkredi algorithms. It does not act like the classic Ichimoku or Moving Averages. TVQ was used instead of RSI . High Frequency Trade Algo's incorporate a 3-sided trading strategy that detects Risk Areas and allows you to stay Flat if necessary (red and white circles above the bars) or generates appropriate signals in the buy and sell regions, that measures the risk. In the triangle or flat / horizontal corrections you need to stay flat, it warns you beforehand that you are in the risky area, while the trend will occur, it warns you with a buy or sell signal.

Super MyMA PrismThis script implements the Binary Trade Logic (BTL) algorithm to calculate two distinct scores that range from 0 to 7. One score is calculated assigning a power of 2 weight to the positive sign of 3 Phi^3 distant Moving Average (MA) slopes. The other score is calculated assigning a power of 2 weight to the sign of the difference between the price and the value of 3 Phi^3 distant Moving Average (MA).
For the first score, hereafter called as the angle score (AS), the largest MA slope positive sign receives weight 4, the middle length MA slope positive sign receives weight 2 and the shortest MA slope positive sign receives weight 1. The positive sign of an MA is defined as 1 if the slope of the MA is positive and 0, otherwise. Therefore, for MAs 305, 72 and 17, if slope(MA305) > 0, slope(MA72) < 0 and slope(MA17) > 0, then score will be 4*1 + 2*0 + 1*1 = 5. Up to my knowledge, this score was first proposed by Bo Williams and named by him as Prisma.
For the second score, hereafter called as the value score (VS), if the price > largest MA, it receives weight 4. If the price > the middle length MA, it receives weight 2 and if the price > the the shortest MA, it receives weight 1. Therefore, for MAs 305, 72 and 17, if price < MA305, price > MA72 and price > MA17, then score will be 4*0 + 2*1 + 1*1 = 3. Up to my knowledge, this score was first proposed by Bo Williams and named by him as Prisma.
Both AS and VS are calculated for Phi^3 lengths (610, 144, 34) and for Phi^3/2 lengths (305, 72, 17). The scores of the same kind calculated for each set of length are combined multiplying the Phi^3 length score by 10 and adding with with the Phi^3/2 score, therefore providing a 2 digit score ranging from 0 to 77. For instance, if we have AS(610, 144, 34) = 7 and AS(305, 72, 17) = 5, we have AS=75. At the same time, if we have VS(610, 144, 34) = 6 and VS(305, 72, 17) = 4, we have VS=64.
The used Moving Averages can be chosen between EMA and MyMA. MyMA is a Moving Average that tries to mimic Bo William's MIMA. Due to the close resemblance between MyMA and MIMA, I do not feel comfortable to open this script source code. In order to learn how this script operates with EMAs, please refer to my Super EMA Prism indicator that has its source code open.
VS score is plotted by default in black, but it can be on white for dark themes. AS is plotted with the color of the longest MA used.
Chart background is colored according to the range of values for AS and VS, checked in the following order:
if AS >= 13 and VS <= 13 then back color = red
if AS >= 13 or VS <= 13 then back color = orange
if AS >= 64 and VS >= 64 then back color = green
if AS >= 64 or VS >= 64 then back color = blue
otherwise back color = none (white o black)

BskLAB - Price Target 🎯 BskLAB – Price Target | Usage Guide & Description
BskLAB – Price Target is a smart structural tool that automatically identifies potential price targets and reversal zones using a proprietary Fibonacci Extension method developed by BskLAB.
Unlike standard Fibo tools, this system requires no manual drawing — everything is automated and anchored from key structure shifts such as CHoCH (Change of Character) and BoS (Break of Structure).
🧭 How It Works
After detecting a structural reversal (bullish or bearish), the system:
Locates the recent swing high and swing low
Calculates the midpoint between the two
Uses a proprietary BskLAB formula to project forward Fibonacci levels from the midpoint toward the dominant price direction
Each level represents a zone where price may:
Complete its move
Find resistance/support
Or potentially reverse
This automated process eliminates the need for manual zone-drawing, making it especially useful for fast-paced traders who need clean, reliable visual guides.
🧩 Key Features
✅ Proprietary Fibonacci Extension algorithm unique to BskLAB
🔄 Auto-detection of CHoCH/BoS with forward zone projection
🎯 Color-coded levels for easier recognition of reversal areas
🛠️ Fully automated — no manual drawing required
🧩 Adjustable sensitivity, length, and zone count
🔗 Best Used With
📈 BskLAB Signal Assistant – For precise signal entry filtering
📊 BskLAB Money Flow X – To confirm reversal zones via volume pressure and divergence
⚠️ Important Note
Zones appear only when a valid structure shift is confirmed, ensuring high relevance to current market context.
This tool is ideal for:
Setting high-probability targets
Anticipating reversal zones
Enhancing precision in trade planning
Trapper Market Structure (HH, HL, LH, LL)This script is designed to visually identify price action market structure in real time using pivot-based logic. It highlights the key components of trend direction by labeling:
- **HH** – Higher Highs
- **HL** – Higher Lows
- **LH** – Lower Highs
- **LL** – Lower Lows
These labels help traders track evolving market conditions and spot trend continuations, breaks in structure, or potential reversals — all without guessing.
**How It Works**
The script detects local swing highs and lows based on a customizable pivot strength. Once a valid pivot is confirmed, it’s classified in context with the previous relevant pivot to determine its structural significance.
For example:
- If a pivot high is higher than the previous, it’s marked as a **HH**.
- If a pivot low is lower than the previous, it’s marked as a **LL**, and so on.
This running analysis helps traders anticipate shifts between bullish and bearish structures.
**Customizable Features**
- Adjust **Pivot Strength** to increase or reduce sensitivity (more reactive or more stable)
- Toggle **Labels** on/off for cleaner charts
- Toggle **Connecting Lines** between pivots to visualize structure flow
**Use Case**
This indicator is ideal for:
- Price action traders
- Market structure analysis
- Identifying entry zones during pullbacks (e.g., buying at HLs during uptrends)
- Confirming trend reversals or break-of-structure (BoS)
You can use this tool as a foundation for more advanced systems such as CHoCH/BOS detection, liquidity zones, or sniper-style entry frameworks.
**Concepts Used**
- Swing High/Low detection using `ta.pivothigh` and `ta.pivotlow`
- Market structure labeling logic
- Visual flow to reinforce trader psychology on trend states

VWAP & Breakout Volume ConfirmHow the TradingView Indicator Works (Explained Simply)
VWAP Line (Orange)
It plots the Volume Weighted Average Price for the day.
Price above VWAP = bullish zone
Price below VWAP = bearish zone
Volume Spike Detection (Red Triangle)
It calculates the average volume over the last 20 candles.
If the current volume is 1.5× that average, it plots a red triangle under the candle.
Helps confirm if a move has real momentum or not.
Breakout Confirmation (Green Label ‘BO’)
Checks if price breaks above the last 10-bar high (for upside breakout) or below the last 10-bar low (for downside breakout).
If a breakout happens and the volume spike is present, it plots a green “BO” label above the candle.
This tells you the breakout is strong and likely to follow through.
Multi-Timeframe MA Breakout/Breakdown Analysis📊 Overview
This sophisticated Pine Script indicator revolutionizes breakout/breakdown analysis by distinguishing between fake and genuine signals using a unique swing-level validation methodology. Unlike traditional moving average crossovers, this system validates price movements against historical swing points, providing traders with high-probability entry and exit signals across multiple timeframes.
🎯 Core Trading Methodology
The Swing Validation Concept:
Traditional MA breakouts often fail because they don't consider the context of previous price action. This indicator solves this by:
Recording swing levels when each MA is initially crossed
Validating subsequent crosses against these historical swing points
Classifying signals as fake or genuine based on this validation
Tracking signal evolution as price action develops
Signal Classification System:
🔻 Breakdown Analysis:
Fake Breakdown: Price cuts below MA but stays above the swing low from previous MA cut
Genuine Breakdown: Price cuts below MA and falls below the swing low from previous MA cut
Validation Chain: EMA 50 validates against EMA 20 swing low, EMA 100 against EMA 50 swing low, EMA 200 against EMA 100 swing low
🔺 Breakout Analysis:
Fake Breakout: Price crosses above MA but stays below the swing high from previous MA cross
Genuine Breakout: Price crosses above MA and exceeds the swing high from previous MA cross
Validation Chain: EMA 50 validates against EMA 20 swing high, EMA 100 against EMA 50 swing high, EMA 200 against EMA 100 swing high

💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Fake Signal Reversal Trading
For Long Entries (Fake Breakdown Reversal):
Wait for fake breakdown signal (orange triangle down)
Confirm bullish reversal (lime triangle up) when price reclaims EMAs
Enter long on bullish reversal confirmation
Stop loss below the swing low that validated the fake breakdown
Target next resistance level or previous swing high
For Short Entries (Fake Breakout Reversal):
Wait for fake breakout signal (orange triangle up)
Confirm bearish reversal (fuchsia triangle down) when price falls below EMAs
Enter short on bearish reversal confirmation
Stop loss above the swing high that validated the fake breakout
Target next support level or previous swing low
Strategy 2: Genuine Signal Trend Following
For Trend Continuation Longs:
Identify genuine breakout (dark red triangle up)
Confirm higher timeframe alignment (4H/1D showing bullish trend)
Enter on pullback to broken resistance (now support)
Stop loss below the validation swing high
Target measured move or next major resistance
For Trend Continuation Shorts:
Identify genuine breakdown (red triangle down)
Confirm higher timeframe alignment (4H/1D showing bearish trend)
Enter on pullback to broken support (now resistance)
Stop loss above the validation swing low
Target measured move or next major support
Strategy 3: Multi-Timeframe Confluence
High-Probability Setups:
Align signals across timeframes (15M signal + 4H trend confirmation)
Look for confluence (multiple timeframes showing same signal type)
Prioritize higher timeframe signals for swing/position trades
Use lower timeframes for precise entry timing
⚠️ Risk Management Rules
Position Sizing:
Fake signal trades: Reduce position size (higher risk, higher reward)
Genuine signal trades: Standard position size (trend following)
Multi-timeframe confluence: Increase position size (higher probability)
Stop Loss Guidelines:
Fake breakdown longs: Stop below validation swing low
Fake breakout shorts: Stop above validation swing high
Genuine signals: Stop beyond the MA that was broken
Reversals: Stop beyond the reversal invalidation level
Take Profit Strategies:
Scale out at key resistance/support levels
Trail stops using the 20 EMA for trend following
Take partial profits at 1:2 risk/reward ratio
Let winners run on strong trend continuation signals
🔧 Best Practices
Signal Validation:
Wait for candle close before acting on signals
Check volume confirmation on breakouts/breakdowns
Consider market context (news, earnings, etc.)
Avoid trading during low liquidity periods
Timeframe Selection:
Scalping: 15M signals with 4H trend filter
Day Trading: 4H signals with 1D trend filter
Swing Trading: 1D signals with 1W trend filter

RDBRB Strategy with Filters + Cooldowns + LabelsRDBRB Strategy with Filters + Cooldowns
This script implements the RDBRB (Rally-Drop-Base-Retest-Breakout) strategy, a classic price action setup designed to identify structured trade opportunities using volume, volatility bands, and trend alignment. It’s ideal for traders looking for clean, rule-based entries across any timeframe.
🧠 Core Components
Rally & Drop Detection
Identifies short-term momentum shifts using moving average crossovers:
✅ Ra = Rally (bullish crossover)
🔻 Dr = Drop (bearish crossunder)
Base Formation
A statistical base is defined using a moving average with a standard deviation envelope (Upper/Lower BB). This forms the foundation for breakout or retest setups.
Retest Zone (RT)
When price returns to the lower band (but stays below the base), it suggests a potential re-accumulation or reaction zone before a breakout.
Breakout Confirmation (BO)
A breakout is validated when:
Price crosses above the upper band
Volume exceeds the 20-bar average by a threshold multiplier
RSI is above a bullish momentum level
Price is trending above the longer-term EMA
⏱️ Smart Cooldown Logic
Each signal (Rally, Drop, Retest, Breakout) has an independent cooldown timer to prevent multiple triggers within a short range, filtering out noise and duplicate signals:
Customizable cooldown periods via input settings
Ensures signals are meaningful and not clustered
💡 Visual Markers
All signals are shown as small, color-coded labels:
Ra : Green label below bar
Dr : Red label above bar
RT : Yellow label below bar
BO : Green breakout label below bar
Bands and base are plotted for structure reference.
🛠️ Customizable Settings
Cooldown periods for each signal type
MA lengths, volume and RSI thresholds
Trend filter and base calculation inputs
This script is ideal for price action traders who want a clean, structured method to trade consolidations and trend continuations while avoiding over-signaling. Use it on any timeframe and combine with higher-timeframe confirmation for best results.
Swing Point Indicator🔍 How does it work?
He looks at a candle and compares it with a number of candles to the left and right.
If that candle is the highest of that group, then it is a swing high.
If that candle is the lowest, then it is a swing low.
📈 What do you use it for?
Reading market structure:
You can easily see higher highs / higher lows (bullish structure)
Or lower highs / lower lows (bearish structure)
Determining BOS & CHoCH:
If a new swing low breaks below the previous one → Break of Structure (BOS)
If you go from HH/HL to LH/LL → Change of Character (CHoCH)
Finding entry and exit points:
You know where to expect price reactions (at swing points)
Good for pullback entries or stop loss placement
Drawing smart zones:
You can draw from swing high to swing low for Fibs, order blocks or S&D zones

SMPivot Gaussian Trend Strategy [Js.K]This open-source strategy combines a Gaussian-weighted moving average with “Smart Money” swing-pivot breaks (BoS = Break-of-Structure) to capture trend continuations and early reversals. It is intended for educational and research purposes only and must not be interpreted as financial advice.
How the logic works
-------------------
1. Gaussian Moving Average (GMA)
• A custom Gaussian kernel (length = 30 by default) smooths price while preserving turning points.
• A second pass (“Smoothed GMA”) further filters noise; only its direction is used for bias.
2. Swing-Pivot detection
• High/Low pivots are found with a symmetric look-back/forward window (Pivot Length = 20).
• The most recent confirmed pivot creates a dynamic structure level (UpdatedHigh / UpdatedLow).
3. Entry rules
Long
• Price closes above the most recent pivot high **and** above Smoothed GMA.
Short
• Price closes below the most recent pivot low **and** below Smoothed GMA.
4. Exit rules
• Fixed stop-loss and take-profit in percent of current price (user-defined).
• Separate parameters and on/off switches for longs and shorts.
5. Visuals
• GMA (dots) and Smoothed GMA (line).
• Structure break lines plus “BoS PH/PL” labels at the midpoint between pivot and break.
Inputs
------
Gaussian
• Gaussian Length (default 30) – smoothing window.
• Gaussian Scatterplot – toggle GMA dots.
Smart-Money Pivot
• Pivot Length (default 20).
• Bull / Bear colors.
Risk settings
• Long / Short enable.
• Individual SL % and TP % (default 1 % SL, 30 % TP).
• Strategy uses percent-of-equity sizing; initial capital defaults to 10 000 USD.
Adjust these to reflect your own account size, realistic commission and slippage.
Best practice & compliance notes
--------------------------------
• Test on a data sample that yields ≥ 100 trades to obtain statistically relevant results.
• Keep risk per trade below 5–10 % of equity; the default values comply with this guideline.
• Explain any custom settings you publish that differ from the defaults.
• Do **not** remove the code header or licence notice (MPL-2.0).
• Include realistic commission and slippage in your back-test before publishing.
• The script does **not** repaint; orders are processed on bar close.
Usage
-----
1. Add the script to any symbol / timeframe; intraday and swing timeframes both work—adjust lengths accordingly.
2. Configure SL/TP and position size to match your personal risk management.
3. Run “List of trades” and the performance summary to evaluate expectancy; forward-test before live use.

PoiBox# PoiBox: Advanced Market Structure and POI Visualization Tool
PoiBox is a comprehensive market structure analysis tool designed to identify high-probability trading zones through advanced internal market structure (IDM) detection and points of interest (POI) calculation.
## How It Works
The indicator uses a multi-step approach to analyze price action:
1. **Market Structure Identification**: The script identifies significant highs and lows within your selected time range to determine the overall market structure direction (up or down).
2. **IDM Pattern Detection**: It then analyzes internal market structure patterns within this range, focusing on significant price movements that create trading opportunities.
3. **POI Calculation**: Using adaptive ATR measurements across multiple timeframes, the indicator calculates precise POI zones where price is likely to react. These zones are calibrated based on the volatility profile of each identified structure.
4. **Timeframe Correlation**: The script automatically determines which timeframe best matches each structure's size, providing valuable context for your trading decisions.
5. **Technical Implementation**: The indicator uses a sophisticated algorithm to analyze price swings, identify pivot points, and calculate market structure connections. It maintains a database of significant highs/lows and uses these to determine trend direction and potential reversal zones.
## Display Modes
PoiBox offers three powerful display options:
- **Main BOS**: Shows only the most significant breakout structure with its associated POI zone
- **Leg**: Displays the largest price leg within the selected range along with percentage-based POI zones
- **All IDMs**: Reveals all detected internal market structures and their POI zones
## Advanced Features
- **QM Mode**: Visualizes important market structure relationships with dashed lines connecting significant highs and lows
- **Trick Display**: Identifies nested market structures (tricks) within larger patterns, perfect for precision entries
- **Customizable POI Labels**: Control which price labels appear to maintain chart clarity
- **Extensive Color Settings**: Fully customizable colors for all visual elements
- **Safety Functions**: Includes built-in buffer management and error prevention algorithms to ensure stable performance across all timeframes and market conditions
## Trading Examples
**Downtrend Example:**
When PoiBox identifies a downtrend structure (Higher High → High → Low → Lower Low), it creates POI zones based on the market structure. As shown in the chart, these zones provide excellent entry opportunities when price returns to test previous structure. In this example, entering at the red POI zone with a stop above the zone and target at the QM level resulted in a 3.45 risk/reward trade.
**How to Read QM Lines:**
The dashed lines connecting High → Low → Higher High → Lower Low reveal the market's true structure. These connections help you anticipate where price might head next. When price breaks below a significant Low and creates a Lower Low, it confirms the downtrend continuation and provides a trading opportunity when price retests the broken structure.
**POI Zone Interpretation:**
- Red zones indicate bearish POI areas (ideal for short entries)
- Green zones indicate bullish POI areas (ideal for long entries)
- Yellow zones highlight the identified market structure
## Practical Application Example
In the GBP/USD example shown in the chart:
1. PoiBox identified a downtrend structure with Higher High → High → Low → Lower Low
2. The yellow box shows the main market structure area
3. The red POI zone appeared when price returned to test previous structure
4. Entry was taken at the POI zone with stop loss above structure
5. Target was placed at the QM level, resulting in a 3.45 risk/reward ratio trade
6. The dashed QM lines showed the overall market flow and direction
This demonstrates how PoiBox automatically identifies optimal entry and exit points based on market structure, without requiring manual analysis of each price swing.
## Mathematical Approach
PoiBox uses several mathematical concepts to determine market structure and calculate POI zones:
1. **Adaptive ATR Integration**: The script analyzes ATR (Average True Range) across multiple timeframes (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN1) to determine the appropriate volatility context for each structure.
2. **Height-to-ATR Ratio**: The indicator calculates the ratio between structure height and the closest matching ATR value to determine the structure's timeframe context.
3. **Dynamic POI Calculation**: POI values are calculated using the formula:
`POI = factor * (atr_trigger + atr_double_trigger)`
where `factor` is derived from the structure's height-to-ATR ratio.
4. **Self-Adjusting Limits**: If the calculated POI value exceeds certain thresholds relative to structure height, the script automatically applies proportional adjustments to maintain optimal zone sizing.
## What Makes PoiBox Unique
While many indicators use common concepts like support/resistance or trend analysis, PoiBox stands apart through its:
1. **Adaptive POI Calculation**: Unlike static indicators, PoiBox automatically calibrates POI zones based on each market structure's volatility profile by analyzing ATR across multiple timeframes.
2. **Smart Timeframe Detection**: The indicator automatically determines the most relevant timeframe for each structure, eliminating guesswork and helping you align your trading with the appropriate market cycles.
3. **QM Visualization System**: Our proprietary QM visualization method reveals hidden market structure relationships that standard indicators cannot detect, giving you an edge in anticipating price movements.
4. **Nested Pattern Recognition**: The "Trick" detection feature identifies high-probability setups where smaller patterns form within larger ones, creating precise entry opportunities missed by conventional tools.
5. **Self-Adjusting Analysis**: PoiBox dynamically adapts to changing market conditions without requiring manual parameter adjustments, saving you time and increasing accuracy.
These innovations combine to create a truly original trading system that transforms complex market structure concepts into clear, actionable signals.
## How To Use
1. Define your analysis area using the time range selectors (X1 and X2)
2. Choose your preferred display mode based on your trading style
3. Enable QM Mode for additional market structure context if needed
4. Use the POI zones as potential entry and exit areas for your trades
5. Reference the automatically detected timeframe indicators to align your trading with the appropriate timeframe

By combining swing point analysis, supply/demand zones, and Fibonacci levels, it provides traders with a visual representation of the current market situation, enabling more informed decision-making.
The indicator is ideal for all types of traders, especially those who rely on price action and wish to incorporate Fibonacci levels into their strategies.
Trading Hub 3.0 JukaThe smart money concept suggests that institutional traders have a greater understanding of the market and often have access to more information than retail traders. Therefore, by analyzing market structure, retail traders can align themselves with the actions of smart money and potentially profit from their moves.
This indicator considerably simplifies the process of identification of market structure for traders based on the TradingHUB-3 technical method. Therefore, it is quite different from the existing market structure or trend detection tools, even the other smart-money-based indicators.
How it works:
The indicator starts candlestick analysis from the given start point detecting followings items.
1) Identify valid pullbacks (minor Zigzag):
Uptrend: In the upward trend, each candle that hits a higher high (HH), acts as our checking candle, and if the next candle hits its low, a valid pullback is formed, and we marked the checking candle as the end of a minor leg. Note that we do not take inside bars into account. If the highest point of the leg hit, the lowest point is marked as the end of pullback leg. On the other hand, if the lowest point of the upward leg is hit, the pullback checking procedure is restarted as a downtrend. Note that the downward checking is restarted from the highest point (previous checking candle).
Downtrend: The pullback detection for downtrend follows the reverse procedure of uptrend.
2) Identify inducements (IDM)
The last pullback point (on the minor zigzag) considers as the inducement level. In the uptrend, if the price hit the IDM, the highest point on the major leg is accepted as a major higher high. Note, if the IDM point is equal to a major HL and hit by price, the highest point is accepted as a new HH and the previous HH and LL are deleted (i.e. the HH is transferred).
In the downtrend, it acts conversely.
3) Identify valid break of structures (BOS)
In the uptrend, if the price closed above the highest point between the previous accepted HH to the current candle, a BOS is accrued, and the lowest point in this time interval is accepted as a higher low (HL). In the downtrend, it acts contrariwise.
4) Identify valid change of characters (Choch)
In the uptrend, if the price closed below the lowest point between the previous accepted HL to the current candle, a Choch is accrued, and the major trend changes from uptrend to downtrend, and a new reverse IDM will be detected. In the downtrend, it acts inversely.
5) Identify major HH/HL/LL/LH points
By following the above steps, the major higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows, as well as the major trend are detected. The major high and lows on the major trend can be displayed by zigzag style or bullet points with corresponding up/down color.

8️⃣ Style Valid Level - Customize the appearance of active levels, including the color of the level itself, Liquidity fill, text color, line style and thickness, extension, as well as the size, position, and values to display in the level text.
9️⃣ Liquidity - This option displays the liquidity associated with each support and resistance level, with three modes: "Wick" which goes from the high/low to the upper/lower body, "Body" instead goes from the level to the lower/upper body of the candle and "Full Range" which extends from the high to the low of the candle.
1️⃣0️⃣ Style Break Level - Allows modifying color, style, and thickness of lines, as well as text width, for two types of breakouts: "MSS" and "BOS".
" MSS " stands for " Market Structure Switch " and indicates a level breakout opposite to the previous breakout, signaling a trend reversal.
" BOS ", on the other hand, means " Break of Structure" and occurs when a level is broken in the same direction as the previous one, confirming trend continuation.
1️⃣1️⃣ Fibonacci Trend Line - Add up to 8 Fibonacci levels based on the last two identified support and resistance levels. Customize the different levels by modifying colors, thickness, style, and extension of lines. You also have the option to add a transparent background between each level.
1️⃣2️⃣ Use Only Confirmed Levels - Activate this option if you want the system to use only the last two confirmed levels, excluding potential levels not yet confirmed.
1️⃣3️⃣ Reverse - Used to reverse the direction of Fibonacci lines.
1️⃣4️⃣ Use Higher / Lower - This option allows using the currently active maximum and minimum levels of Support and Resistance. The indicator will update each Support level until it encounters another active Resistance, and vice versa.
1️⃣5️⃣ Trend Style - Activate/deactivate two types of indicator Trends: "Bar Color" based on level breakouts and "Background Color" based on the last active unconfirmed level.
1️⃣6️⃣ Signal Style - Activate or deactivate the various breakout and bounce signals. Bounces present three options:
Total Rejection(TR) : occurs when the price exceeds the high or low and closes below the liquidity level.
Internal Rejection(IR) : the price closes in the liquidity zone.
Liquidity Rejection(LR) : the price does not exceed the high or low, but only the liquidity level, closing below it.
1️⃣7️⃣ Customized Alerts - Set alerts to be notified in case of breakouts, bounces, or formation of new levels.
These options allow you to optimize the indicator for different trading styles and market conditions, ensuring accurate and tailored technical analysis.
