Spot Overlapping FVG - [Fandesoft Trading Academy]🧠 Overview
This script plots Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) with full visibility and precise placement on lower timeframe charts. Each timeframe (1D–12M) has its own independent toggle, custom label, and box styling, allowing traders to analyze broader market structures across swing and long-term horizons.
🎯 Features
✅ Identifies Fair Value Gaps using a 3-candle logic (candle 1 high vs candle 3 low, and vice versa).
✅ Plots HTF FVG boxes aligned to lower timeframes for comprehensive multi-timeframe analysis.
✅ Supports custom timeframes: 1D to 12M, with individual toggles.
✅ Full visual customization: border color, bullish/bearish box opacity, label font size and color.
✅ Modular inputs to enable or disable specific timeframes for performance.
✅ Uses barstate.isconfirmed logic for stable, non-repainting plots.
⚙️ How It Works
The script requests higher timeframe data via request.security. For each confirmed bar, it checks for FVGs based on:
Bullish FVG: low >= high
Bearish FVG: low >= high
If a gap is detected, a box is plotted between candle 1 and candle 3 using box.new().
Timeframe toggles ensure calculations remain within the limit of 40 request.security calls.
📈 Use Cases
Swing traders analyzing daily to monthly imbalances for medium-term strategies.
Position traders seeking to identify long-term imbalance zones for entries or exits.
ICT methodology practitioners visualizing higher timeframe displacement and inefficiencies.
Traders layering multiple HTF FVGs to build confluence-based trading decisions.

ICT iFVG Detector and Alert [by ote618]Description
This script detects ICT - fair value gaps (FVG) formed by price gaps between Candle 1 and Candle 3, then monitors the next 5 candles for an inverse fair value gap (iFVG).
What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When Candle 1 high is below Candle 3 low (BISI)
Bearish FVG: When Candle 1 low is above Candle 3 high (SIBI)
Once an FVG is detected, the script checks the next 5 candles:
A Bullish FVG becomes a Bearish IFVG if price closes below Candle 1 high
A Bearish FVG becomes a Bullish IFVG if price closes above Candle 1 low
Only the first bar that validates the FVG triggers the transition to an IFVG.
Visual Output
A shaded rectangle is plotted to mark the original FVG zone (from Candle 1 to Candle 3)
Color-coded:
Red for Bearish IFVG (validated Bullish IG)
Green for Bullish IFVG (validated Bearish IG)
The rectangle extends from Candle 1 to the validating bar
Alerts
You can receive alerts when an FVG becomes an IFVG:
Configurable to fire only on selected timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 60m)
Alerts include the direction and the chart timeframe
Settings
Enable Alerts For Timeframe: Choose which timeframe(s) trigger alerts
This tool helps traders identify inverse FVGs (iFVG), a useful ICT concept.
First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.
Math by Thomas FVG📌 Math by Thomas FVG – Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview:
The Math by Thomas FVG indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using a three-candle logic. FVGs represent price inefficiencies where the first candle’s high/low does not overlap with the third candle’s low/high, creating a gap. This tool helps traders identify potential reversal or continuation zones, providing valuable insights into market structure and price action.
🔹 How It Works:
Bullish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s low is above the high of the candle two bars ago.
A green-shaded box marks the bullish FVG, highlighting a potential support zone.
Bearish FVG:
Occurs when the current candle’s high is below the low of the candle two bars ago.
A red-shaded box marks the bearish FVG, indicating a potential resistance zone.
Gap Filling Logic:
The indicator automatically removes FVGs once they are filled by price action, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Bullish FVGs are removed when close ≤ the box's top.
Bearish FVGs are removed when close ≥ the box's bottom.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Bullish FVG Color: Choose the color for bullish FVGs.
Bearish FVG Color: Choose the color for bearish FVGs.
Max Box Count: The indicator dynamically manages up to 50 FVG boxes, ensuring optimal chart performance.
✅ Use Cases:
Identify price inefficiencies for potential entries and exits.
Combine with Order Blocks, support/resistance, or volume analysis for confirmation.
Useful for Smart Money Concept (SMC) and price action traders.
🔥 Enhance your trading accuracy with the Math by Thomas FVG indicator and gain insights into price inefficiencies! 🚀
ICT Order Blocks v2 (Debug)Josh has a very large PP xD
Understanding Order Blocks (OBs) - The ICT Perspective
This document delves into the concept of Order Blocks (OBs) from the perspective of the ICT methodology. It outlines what OBs are, their significance in trading, and how the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" indicator functions to identify and visualize these critical price levels. By understanding OBs, traders can better navigate market movements and make informed decisions based on institutional trading behavior.
What is an Order Block (OB)?
Within ICT methodology, an Order Block represents a specific price candle where significant buying or selling interest from institutions (Smart Money) is believed to have occurred. They are potential areas where price might return and react.
Bullish Order Block: Typically the last down-closing candle before a strong, impulsive upward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have absorbed selling pressure and initiated long positions here.
Bearish Order Block: Typically the last up-closing candle before a strong, impulsive downward move (displacement). It suggests institutions may have distributed long positions or initiated short positions here.
Why are OBs Significant (ICT View)?
Institutional Footprint: They mark potential zones of large order execution.
Support/Resistance: Unmitigated OBs can act as sensitive price levels where reactions are expected. Bullish OBs may provide support; Bearish OBs may provide resistance.
Origin of Moves: They often mark the origin point of significant price swings.
Liquidity Engineering: Institutions might drive price back to OBs to mitigate earlier positions or to engineer liquidity before continuing a move.
Common Refinements
ICT often emphasizes higher probability OBs that are associated with:
Displacement: The move away from the OB is sharp and decisive.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): An FVG forming immediately after the OB strengthens its validity.
OB Mitigation: This refers to price returning to the level of the Order Block after its formation. Price might react at the edge (proximal line) or the 50% level (mean threshold) of the OB. An OB is often considered fully mitigated or invalidated if price trades decisively through its entire range, especially with a candle body closing beyond it.
How the "ICT Order Blocks v2 (Refined)" Indicator Works
This indicator automates the detection and visualization of the most recent unmitigated Order Block of each type (Bullish/Bearish), incorporating optional filters.
Detection:
It looks at the relationship between the candle two bars ago ( ), the previous candle ( ), and potentially the current candle ( ).
Bullish OB: Identifies if candle was a down-close (close < open ) AND candle broke above the high of candle (high > high ).
Bearish OB: Identifies if candle was an up-close (close > open ) AND candle broke below the low of candle (low < low ).
Accuracy Filters (Optional Inputs):
These filters help identify potentially higher-probability OBs:
Require Fair Value Gap (FVG)?: If enabled, the indicator checks if an FVG formed immediately after the OB candle ( ). Specifically, it looks for a gap between candle and candle (low > high for Bullish OB confirmation, high < low for Bearish).
Require Strong Close Breakout?: If enabled, it requires the breakout candle ( ) to close beyond the range of the OB candle ( ). (close > high for Bullish, close < low for Bearish). This suggests stronger confirmation.
Storing the Most Recent OB:
When an OB is detected and passes any enabled filters, its details (high, low, formation bar index) are stored. Crucially, this indicator only tracks the single most recent valid unmitigated OB of each type (one Bullish, one Bearish) using var variables. If a newer valid OB forms, it replaces the previously stored one.
Drawing Boxes:
If a valid Bullish OB is being tracked (and Show Bullish OBs is enabled), it draws a box (box.new) using the high and low of the identified OB candle ( ). The same process applies to Bearish OBs (Show Bearish OBs enabled). The boxes automatically extend to the right (extend.right) and their right edge is updated on each new bar (box.set_right) until they are mitigated. Labels ("Bull OB" / "Bear OB") are displayed inside the boxes.
Mitigation & Box Deletion:
The indicator checks if the current closing price (close ) has moved entirely beyond the range of the tracked OB.
Mitigation Rule Used: A Bullish OB is considered mitigated if close < bull_ob_low. A Bearish OB is considered mitigated if close > bear_ob_high. Once an OB is marked as mitigated, the indicator stops tracking it and its corresponding box is automatically deleted (box.delete) from the chart.
This indicator provides a dynamic visualization of the most recent, potentially significant Order Blocks that meet the specified criteria, helping traders identify key areas of interest based on ICT principles.

Reversal rehersal v1This indicator was designed to identify potential market reversal zones using a combination of RSI thresholds (shooting range/falling range), candlestick patterns, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). By combining all these elements into one indicator, it allow for outputting high probability buy/sell signals for use by scalpers on low timeframes like 1-15 mins, for quick but small profits.
Note: that this has been mainly tested on DE40 index on the 1 min timeframe, and need to be adjusted to whichever timeframe and symbol you intend to use. Refer to the backtester feature for checking if this indicator may work for you.
The indicator use RSI ranges from two timeframes to highlight where momentum is building up. During these areas, it will look for certain candlestick patterns (Sweeps as the primary one) and check for existance of fair value gaps to further enhance the hitrate of the signal.
The logic for FVG detection was based on ©pmk07's work with MTF FVG tiny indicator. Several major changes was implemented though and incorporated into this indicator. Among these are:
Automatically adjustments of FVG boxes when mitigated partially and options to extend/cull boxes for performance and clarity.
Backtesting Table (Experimental):
This indicator also features an optional simplified table to review historical theoretical performance of signals, including win rate, profit/loss, and trade statistics. This does not take commision or slippage into consideration.
Usage Notes:
Setup:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Decide if you want to use Long or Short (or both).
3. If you're scalping on ie. 1 min time frame, make sure to set FVG's to higher timeframes (ie. 5, 15, 60).
4. Enable the 'Show backtest results' and adjust the 'Signals' og 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' values until you are satisfied with the results.
Use:
1. Setup an alert based on either of the 'BullishShooting range' or 'BearishFalling range' alerts. This will draw your attention to watch for the possible setups.
2. Verify if there's a significant imbalance prior to the signal before taking the trade. Otherwise this may invalidate the setup.
3. Once a signal is shown on the graph (either Green arrow up for buys/Red arrow down for sells) - you should enter a trade with the given 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' values.
4. (optional) Setup an alert for either the Strong/Weak signals. Which corresponds to when one of the arrows are printed.
Important: This is the way I use it myself, but use at own risk and remember to combine with other indicators for further confluence. Remember this is no crystal ball and I do not guarantee profitable results. The indicator merely show signals with high probability setups for scalping.
Stophunt WickAcknowledgement
This indicator is dedicated to my friend Alexandru who saved me from one of these liquidation raids which almost liquidated me.
Alexandru is one of the best scalpers out there and he always nails his entries at the tip of these wicks.
This inspired me to create this indicator.
What's a Liquidation Wick?
It's that fast stop-hunting wick that stophunts everyone by triggering their stop-loss and liquidation.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of stock market and liquidation is the process that moves price.
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts.
How does it work?
When market consolidates in one direction, it builds up liquidity zones.
Market maker will break out of these consolidation phases by having dramatic price action to either pump or dump to raid these liquidity zones.
This is also called stop-hunts or liquidity raids. After that it will start reversing back to the opposite direction.
This is most noticeable by the length of the wick of a given candle in a very short amount of time and the total size of the candle.
This indicator highlights them accordingly.
Settings
Wick and Candle ratio works with default values but finetune will enhance user experience and usability.
Wick Ratio: Size of the wick compared to body of a candle.
Adjust this to higher ratio on smaller timeframe or smaller ratio on bigger timeframe to your trading style to spot a trend reversal.
Candle Ratio: The size of the candle, by default it is 0.75% of the current price.
For example, if BTC is at 20,000 then the size of the candle has to be minimum 150.
This can be fine tuned to bigger candle size on higher time frames or smaller for shorter timeframe depending on the trade type.
How to use it?
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts. It can be used of its own for scalping but there are also a good few indicators which would most definitely help to confluence bigger timeframe trades.
Scalp
This indicator shows the most chaotic moments in price action; therefore it works best on smaller timeframes, ideally 3 or 5 minute candle.
- Wait for the market to start pumping or dumping.
- Current candle will change colour (Bullish/Bearish).
- Enter trade as soon as price starts to reverse back.
- Place the stop-loss outside of the current candle.
- Wait for the Liquidation Wick to appear as confirmation.
Price is very chaotic during a liquidity stop-hunt raid but there is a saying:
"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity" - Sun-Tzu
Since this is a very high risk, high reward strategy; it is advised to practice on paper trade first.
Practice until perfection and this indicator would be the perfect bread and butter scalp confirmation.
Fair Value Gap
FVG strategy is the most accurate in conjunction with this indicator.
Normally price would reverse after consuming fair value gaps but often it's difficult to know when and where.
This indicator would identify those crucial entry points for reverse course direction of the price action.
Support and Resistance
This indicator can also be used in conjunction with support and resistance lines.
Generally the stophunt will go deep below the support or spike much further up the resistance lines to liquidate positions.
Bollinger Bands
Bolling Bands strategy would be to wait until the price breaks out of the band.
Once the wick is formed, it would be an ideal entry point.

Normalized VolumeOVERVIEW
The Normalized Volume (NV) is an attempt at visualizing volume in a format that is more understandable by placing the values on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 in this case is the lowest volume candle available on the chart, and 100 being the highest. Calling a candle “high volume” can be misleading without having something to compare to. For example, in scaling the volume this way we can clearly see that a given candle had 80% of the peak volume or 20%, and gauge the validity of price moves more accurately.
FEATURES
NV by session
Allows user to filter the volume values across 4 different sessions. This can add context to the volume output, because what it high volume during London session may not be high volume relative to New York session.
Overlay plotting
When volume boxes are turned on, this will allow you to toggle how they are plotted.
Color theme
A standard color theme will color the NV based on if the respective candle closed green or red. Selecting variables will color the NV plot based on which range the value falls within.
Session inputs
Activated with the “By session?” Input. Allows user to break the day up into 4 sessions to more accurately gauge volume relative to time of day.
Show Box (X)
Toggles on chart boxes on and off.
Show historical boxes
Will plot prior occurrences of selected volume boxes, deleting them when price fully moves through them in the opposite direction of the initial candle.
Color inputs
Allows for intensive customization in how this tool appears visually.
INTERPRETATION
There are 6 pre-defined ranges that NV can fall within.
NV <= 10
Volume is insignificant
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 10 and <= 20
Volume is low
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 20 and <= 40
Volume is fair
In this range, volume should not be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 40 and <= 60
Volume is high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 60 and <= 80
Volume is very high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 80
Volume is extreme
In this range, volume is likely news driven and caution should be taken. High price volatility possible.
To utilize this tool in conjunction with your current strategy, follow the range explanations above section in this section. The higher the NV value, the stronger you can feel about your directional confirmation.
If NV = 100, this means that the highest volume candle occurred up to that point on your selected timeframe. All future data points will be weighed off of this value.
LIMITATIONS
This tool will not load on tickers that do not have volume data, such as VIX.
STRATEGY
The Normalized Volume plot can be used in exactly the same way as you would normally utilize volume in your trading strategy. All we are doing is weighing the volume relative to itself.
Volume boxes can be used as targets to be filled in a similar way to commonly used “fair value gap” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Plot to Wicks” in Overlay Plotting and toggling on Show Historical Boxes.
Volume boxes can be used as areas for entry in a similar way to commonly used “order block” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Open To Close” in Overlay Plotting.
NOTES
You are able to plot an info label on right side of NV plot using the "Toggle box label" input. When a box is toggled on this label will tell you when the most recent box of that intensity occurred.
This tool is deeply visually customizable, with the ability to adjust line width for plotted boxes, all colors on both box overlays, and all colors on NV panel. Customize it to your liking!
I have a handful of additional features that I plan on adding to this tool in future updates. If there is anything you would like to see added, any bugs you identify, or any strategies you encounter with this tool, I would love to hear from you!
Huge shoutout to @joebaus for assisting in bringing this tool to life, please check out his work here on TradingView!
Order Blocks v2Order Blocks v2 – Smart OB Detection with Time & FVG Filters
Order Blocks v2 is an advanced tool designed to identify potential institutional footprints in the market by dynamically plotting bullish and bearish order blocks.
This indicator refines classic OB logic by combining:
Fractal-based break conditions
Time-level filtering (Power of 3)
Optional Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation
Real-time plotting and auto-invalidation
Perfect for traders using ICT, Smart Money, or algorithmic timing models like Hopplipka.
🧠 What the indicator does
Detects order blocks after break of bullish/bearish fractals
Supports 3-bar or 5-bar fractal structures
Allows OB detection based on close breaks or high/low breaks
Optionally confirms OBs only if followed by a Fair Value Gap within N candles
Filters OBs based on specific time levels (3, 7, 11, 14) — core anchors in many algorithmic models
Automatically deletes invalidated OBs once price closes through the zone
⚙️ How it works
The indicator:
Tracks local fractal highs/lows
Once a fractal is broken by price, it backtracks to identify the best OB candle (highest bullish or lowest bearish)
Validates the level by checking:
OB type logic (close or HL break)
Time stamp match with algorithmic time anchors (e.g. 3, 7, 11, 14 – known from the Power of 3 concept)
Optional FVG confirmation after OB
Plots OB zones as lines (body or wick-based) and removes them if invalidated by a candle close
This ensures traders see only valid, active levels — removing noise from broken or out-of-context zones.
🔧 Customization
Choose 3-bar or 5-bar fractals
OB detection type: close break or HL break
Enable/disable OBs only on times 3, 7, 11, 14 (Hopplipka style)
Optional: require nearby FVG for validation
Line style: solid, dashed, or dotted
Adjust OB length, width, color, and use body or wick for OB height
🚀 How to use it
Add the script to your chart
Choose your preferred OB detection mode and filters
Use plotted OB zones to:
Anticipate price rejections and reversals
Validate Smart Money or ICT-based entry zones
Align setups with algorithmic time sequences (3, 7, 11, 14)
Filter out invalid OBs automatically, keeping your chart clean
The tool is useful on any timeframe but performs best when combined with a liquidity-based or time-anchored trading model.
💡 What makes it original
Combines fractal logic with OB confirmation and time anchors
Implements time-based filtering inspired by Hopplipka’s interpretation of the "Power of 3"
Allows OB validation via optional FVG follow-up — rarely available in public indicators
Auto-cleans invalidated OBs to reduce clutter
Designed to reflect market structure logic used by institutions and algorithms
💬 Why it’s worth using
Order Blocks v2 simplifies one of the most nuanced parts of SMC: identifying clean and high-probability OBs.
It removes subjectivity, adds clear timing logic, and integrates optional confluence tools — like FVG.
For traders serious about algorithmic-level structure and clean setups, this tool delivers both logic and clarity.
⚠️ Important
This indicator:
Is not a signal generator or financial advice tool
Is intended for experienced traders using OB/SMC/time-based logic
Does not predict market direction — it provides visual structural levels only
ROGUE ICT PRORogue ICT PRO — Smart Money Confluence Tool
The Rogue ICT Buy/Sell indicator is a precision-built, multi-confirmation tool inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It identifies high-probability trade setups using market structure, fair value gaps, killzone sessions, and higher timeframe trend alignment.
✅ Core Features
🔹 Market Structure Shift (MSS)
Detects clean breaks of swing highs or lows, indicating potential trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG)
Automatically highlights institutional imbalances — essential ICT confluence zones.
🔹 Smart Killzone Filtering
Signals only trigger during high-liquidity sessions:
Asian (19:00–22:00)
London (02:00–05:00)
New York (07:00–10:00)
Each session is color-highlighted on the chart.
🔹 HTF EMA Bias Filter
Only trades in the direction of the Higher Timeframe 50 EMA (e.g., 1H on 5M chart). This ensures entries align with institutional directional bias. I have default set to the Daily 9 EMA but can be changed to your preference.
🔹 ATR-Based Stop Loss & Take Profit Lines
SL is calculated using ATR × multiplier
TP is placed using a customizable Risk-Reward Ratio
Both levels are plotted on the chart with "SL" and "TP" labels.
🔹 Cooldown Logic
Prevents overtrading by requiring a minimum number of bars between each signal.
Path of Least ResistancePath of Least Resistance (PLR)
Concept Overview
The Path of Least Resistance indicator identifies key zones on your chart that act like "muddy" or "sticky" areas where price tends to get bogged down, creating choppy and unpredictable price action. Between these zones lie the "empty spaces" - clear paths where price can move freely with momentum and direction.
The Analogy: Muddy Fields vs Open Roads
Think of your chart like a landscape:
🟫 ZONES (Muddy/Sticky Areas)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes
Pivot wick zones from higher timeframe pivots
Areas where price gets "stuck" and churns
Like walking through thick mud - slow, choppy, unpredictable movement
Price action becomes erratic and difficult to trade
🟢 EMPTY SPACES (Open Roads)
The clear areas between zones
Where price can move freely with momentum
Like driving on an open highway - smooth, directional movement
The "Path of Least Resistance" for price movement
Trading Philosophy
AVOID Trading Within Zones:
Price action is typically choppy and unpredictable
Higher probability of false signals and whipsaws
Like trying to drive through mud - you'll get stuck
TRADE Through the Empty Spaces:
Look for moves that travel between zones
Price tends to move with momentum and direction
Higher probability setups with cleaner price action
Like taking the highway instead of back roads
Zone Types Detected
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Imbalances from higher timeframe candles
Areas where price "owes" a return visit
Often act as magnets, creating choppy price action
Pivot Wick Zones
Upper and lower wicks from higher timeframe pivots
Rejection areas where price previously struggled
Often create resistance/support that leads to choppy movement
Color Coding System
The zones dynamically change color based on current price position:
🔴 RED ZONES : Price is below the zone (bearish context)
🟢 GREEN ZONES : Price is above the zone (bullish context)
🔘 GRAY ZONES : Price is within the zone (neutral/choppy area)
The "Mum Trades" Strategy
The best trades - what we call "Mum trades" (trades so obvious even your mum could spot them) - happen in the empty spaces between zones:
✅ High Probability Characteristics:
Clear directional movement between zones
Less noise and false signals
Higher momentum and follow-through
Cleaner technical patterns
❌ Avoid These Areas:
Trading within the muddy zones
Expecting clean moves through sticky areas
Fighting against the natural flow of price
Key Features
Auto Timeframe Detection : Automatically selects appropriate higher timeframe
Dynamic Zone Management : Overlapping zones are automatically cleaned up
Real-time Alerts : Get notified when price enters/exits zones
Visual Clarity : Clean zone display with extending boundaries
How to Use
Identify the Zones : Let the indicator mark the muddy areas
Find the Paths : Look for clear spaces between zones
Plan Your Trades : Target moves that travel through empty space
Avoid the Mud : Stay away from trading within the zones
Follow the Flow : Trade with the path of least resistance
Remember
Price, like water, always seeks the path of least resistance. By identifying where that path is clear (empty spaces) versus where it's obstructed (zones), you can align your trading with the natural flow of the market rather than fighting against it.
The goal is simple: Trade the highways, avoid the mud.
ICT Directional FVG Indicator (Buffered SL)This is the first indicator I have ever made, and I am very new to Pine Script. I’ve tried my best to create this as a strategy, but I’m still learning, so please be kind and constructive with your feedback!
ICT Directional FVG Indicator (Buffered SL)
This indicator is designed for traders who follow ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, focusing on Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), liquidity sweeps, and session-based trading. It automatically detects bullish and bearish FVGs, highlights them on the chart, and identifies liquidity sweep events. The indicator features three customizable Kill Zones (London, New York, and Asia sessions), each with independent toggles and color-coded backgrounds for clear visual separation.
Key features:
Fair Value Gap Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish FVGs in real time.
Liquidity Sweep Alerts: Marks potential liquidity sweep events for both highs and lows.
Session Kill Zones: Toggle each Kill Zone (London, New York, Asia) independently; background color changes only in enabled zones.
Trade Signal Visualization: Plots entry, stop loss, and take profit levels based on FVG and sweep logic, with a user-defined stop loss buffer.
Customizable Display: Easily enable or disable FVGs, sweeps, trade levels, and each Kill Zone to suit your strategy.
This tool is ideal for ICT-based traders who want a clear, automated view of FVGs, sweeps, and session activity, with full control over which sessions and signals are displayed.
FvgObject█ OVERVIEW
This library provides a suite of methods designed to manage the visual representation and lifecycle of Fair Value Gap (FVG) objects on a Pine Script™ chart. It extends the `fvgObject` User-Defined Type (UDT) by attaching object-oriented functionalities for drawing, updating, and deleting FVG-related graphical elements. The primary goal is to encapsulate complex drawing logic, making the main indicator script cleaner and more focused on FVG detection and state management.
█ CONCEPTS
This library is built around the idea of treating each Fair Value Gap as an "object" with its own visual lifecycle on the chart. This is achieved by defining methods that operate directly on instances of the `fvgObject` UDT.
Object-Oriented Approach for FVGs
Pine Script™ v6 introduced the ability to define methods for User-Defined Types (UDTs). This library leverages this feature by attaching specific drawing and state management functions (methods) directly to the `fvgObject` type. This means that instead of calling global functions with an FVG object as a parameter, you call methods *on* the FVG object itself (e.g., `myFvg.updateDrawings(...)`). This approach promotes better code organization and a more intuitive way to interact with FVG data.
FVG Visual Lifecycle Management
The core purpose of this library is to manage the complete visual journey of an FVG on the chart. This lifecycle includes:
Initial Drawing: Creating the first visual representation of a newly detected FVG, including its main box and optionally its midline and labels.
State Updates & Partial Fills: Modifying the FVG's appearance as it gets partially filled by price. This involves drawing a "mitigated" portion of the box and adjusting the `currentTop` or `currentBottom` of the remaining FVG.
Full Mitigation & Tested State: Handling how an FVG is displayed once fully mitigated. Depending on user settings, it might be hidden, or its box might change color/style to indicate it has been "tested." Mitigation lines can also be managed (kept or deleted).
Midline Interaction: Visually tracking if the price has touched the FVG's 50% equilibrium level (midline).
Visibility Control: Dynamically showing or hiding FVG drawings based on various criteria, such as user settings (e.g., hide mitigated FVGs, timeframe-specific visibility) or external filters (e.g., proximity to current price).
Deletion: Cleaning up all drawing objects associated with an FVG when it's no longer needed or when settings dictate its removal.
Centralized Drawing Logic
By encapsulating all drawing-related operations within the methods of this library, the main indicator script is significantly simplified. The main script can focus on detecting FVGs and managing their state (e.g., in arrays), while delegating the complex task of rendering and updating them on the chart to the methods herein.
Interaction with `fvgObject` and `drawSettings` UDTs
All methods within this library operate on an instance of the `fvgObject` UDT. This `fvgObject` holds not only the FVG's price/time data and state (like `isMitigated`, `currentTop`) but also the IDs of its associated drawing elements (e.g., `boxId`, `midLineId`).
The appearance of these drawings (colors, styles, visibility, etc.) is dictated by a `drawSettings` UDT instance, which is passed as a parameter to most drawing-related methods. This `drawSettings` object is typically populated from user inputs in the main script, allowing for extensive customization.
Stateful Drawing Object Management
The library's methods manage Pine Script™ drawing objects (boxes, lines, labels) by storing their IDs within the `fvgObject` itself (e.g., `fvgObject.boxId`, `fvgObject.mitigatedBoxId`, etc.). Methods like `draw()` create these objects and store their IDs, while methods like `updateDrawings()` modify them, and `deleteDrawings()` removes them using these stored IDs.
Drawing Optimization
The `updateDrawings()` method, which is the most comprehensive drawing management function, incorporates optimization logic. It uses `prev_*` fields within the `fvgObject` (e.g., `prevIsMitigated`, `prevCurrentTop`) to store the FVG's state from the previous bar. By comparing the current state with the previous state, and also considering changes in visibility or relevant drawing settings, it can avoid redundant and performance-intensive drawing operations if nothing visually significant has changed for that FVG.
█ METHOD USAGE AND WORKFLOW
The methods in this library are designed to be called in a logical sequence as an FVG progresses through its lifecycle. A crucial prerequisite for all visual methods in this library is a properly populated `drawSettings` UDT instance, which dictates every aspect of an FVG's appearance, from colors and styles to visibility and labels. This `settings` object must be carefully prepared in the main indicator script, typically based on user inputs, before being passed to these methods.
Here’s a typical workflow within a main indicator script:
1. FVG Instance Creation (External to this library)
An `fvgObject` instance is typically created by functions in another library (e.g., `FvgCalculations`) when a new FVG pattern is identified. This object will have its core properties (top, bottom, startTime, isBullish, tfType) initialized.
2. Initial Drawing (`draw` method)
Once a new `fvgObject` is created and its initial visibility is determined:
Call the `myFvg.draw(settings)` method on the new FVG object.
`settings` is an instance of the `drawSettings` UDT, containing all relevant visual configurations.
This method draws the primary FVG box, its midline (if enabled in `settings`), and any initial labels. It also initializes the `currentTop` and `currentBottom` fields of the `fvgObject` if they are `na`, and stores the IDs of the created drawing objects within the `fvgObject`.
3. Per-Bar State Updates & Interaction Checks
On each subsequent bar, for every active `fvgObject`:
Interaction Check (External Logic): It's common to first use logic (e.g., from `FvgCalculations`' `fvgInteractionCheck` function) to determine if the current bar's price interacts with the FVG.
State Field Updates (External Logic): Before calling the `FvgObjectLib` methods below, ensure that your `fvgObject`'s state fields (such as `isMitigated`, `currentTop`, `currentBottom`, `isMidlineTouched`) are updated using the current bar's price data and relevant functions from other libraries (e.g., `FvgCalculations`' `checkMitigation`, `checkPartialMitigation`, etc.). This library's methods render the FVG based on these pre-updated state fields.
If interaction occurs and the FVG is not yet fully mitigated:
Full Mitigation Update (`updateMitigation` method): Call `myFvg.updateMitigation(high, low)`. This method updates `myFvg.isMitigated` and `myFvg.mitigationTime` if full mitigation occurs, based on the interaction determined by external logic.
Partial Fill Update (`updatePartialFill` method): If not fully mitigated, call `myFvg.updatePartialFill(high, low, settings)`. This method updates `myFvg.currentTop` or `myFvg.currentBottom` and adjusts drawings to show the filled portion, again based on prior interaction checks and fill level calculations.
Midline Touch Check (`checkMidlineTouch` method): Call `myFvg.checkMidlineTouch(high, low)`. This method updates `myFvg.isMidlineTouched` if the price touches the FVG's 50% level.
4. Comprehensive Visual Update (`updateDrawings` method)
After the FVG's state fields have been potentially updated by external logic and the methods in step 3:
Call `myFvg.updateDrawings(isVisibleNow, settings)` on each FVG object.
`isVisibleNow` is a boolean indicating if the FVG should currently be visible.
`settings` is the `drawSettings` UDT instance.
This method synchronizes the FVG's visual appearance with its current state and settings, managing all drawing elements (boxes, lines, labels), their styles, and visibility. It efficiently skips redundant drawing operations if the FVG's state or visibility has not changed, thanks to its internal optimization using `prev_*` fields, which are also updated by this method.
5. Deleting Drawings (`deleteDrawings` method)
When an FVG object is no longer tracked:
Call `myFvg.deleteDrawings(deleteTestedToo)`.
This method removes all drawing objects associated with that `fvgObject`.
This workflow ensures that FVG visuals are accurately maintained throughout their existence on the chart.
█ NOTES
Dependencies: This library relies on `FvgTypes` for `fvgObject` and `drawSettings` definitions, and its methods (`updateMitigation`, `updatePartialFill`) internally call functions from `FvgCalculations`.
Drawing Object Management: Be mindful of TradingView's limits on drawing objects per script. The main script should manage the number of active FVG objects.
Performance and `updateDrawings()`: The `updateDrawings()` method is comprehensive. Its internal optimization (checking `hasStateChanged` based on `prev_*` fields) is crucial for performance. Call it judiciously.
Role of `settings.currentTime`: The `currentTime` field in `drawSettings` is key for positioning time-dependent elements like labels and the right edge of non-extended drawings.
Mutability of `fvgObject` Instances: Methods in this library directly modify the `fvgObject` instance they are called upon (e.g., its state fields and drawing IDs).
Drawing ID Checks: Methods generally check if drawing IDs are `na` before acting on them, preventing runtime errors.
█ EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
method draw(this, settings)
Draws the initial visual representation of the FVG object on the chart. This includes the main FVG box, its midline (if enabled), and a label
(if enabled for the specific timeframe). This method is typically invoked
immediately after an FVG is first detected and its initial properties are set. It uses drawing settings to customize the appearance based on the FVG's timeframe type.
Namespace types: types.fvgObject
Parameters:
this (fvgObject type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The FVG object instance to be drawn. Core properties (top, bottom,
startTime, isBullish, tfType) should be pre-initialized. This method will
initialize boxId, midLineId, boxLabelId (if applicable), and
currentTop/currentBottom (if currently na) on this object.
settings (drawSettings type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : A drawSettings object providing all visual parameters. Reads display settings (colors, styles, visibility for boxes, midlines, labels,
box extension) relevant to this.tfType. settings.currentTime is used for
positioning labels and the right boundary of non-extended boxes.
method updateMitigation(this, highVal, lowVal)
Checks if the FVG has been fully mitigated by the current bar's price action.
Namespace types: types.fvgObject
Parameters:
this (fvgObject type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The FVG object instance. Reads this.isMitigated, this.isVisible,
this.isBullish, this.top, this.bottom. Updates this.isMitigated and
this.mitigationTime if full mitigation occurs.
highVal (float) : The high price of the current bar, used for mitigation check.
lowVal (float) : The low price of the current bar, used for mitigation check.
method updatePartialFill(this, highVal, lowVal, settings)
Checks for and processes partial fills of the FVG.
Namespace types: types.fvgObject
Parameters:
this (fvgObject type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The FVG object instance. Reads this.isMitigated, this.isVisible,
this.isBullish, this.currentTop, this.currentBottom, original this.top/this.bottom,
this.startTime, this.tfType, this.isLV. Updates this.currentTop or
this.currentBottom, creates/updates this.mitigatedBoxId, and may update this.boxId's
top/bottom to reflect the filled portion.

lowVal (float) : The low price of the current bar, used for partial fill check.
settings (drawSettings type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The drawing settings. Reads timeframe-specific colors for mitigated
boxes (e.g., settings.mitigatedBullBoxColor, settings.mitigatedLvBullColor),
box extension settings (settings.shouldExtendBoxes, settings.shouldExtendMtfBoxes, etc.),
and settings.currentTime to style and position the mitigatedBoxId and potentially adjust the main boxId.
method checkMidlineTouch(this, highVal, lowVal)
Checks if the FVG's midline (50% level or Equilibrium) has been touched.
Namespace types: types.fvgObject
Parameters:
this (fvgObject type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The FVG object instance. Reads this.midLineId, this.isMidlineTouched,
this.top, this.bottom. Updates this.isMidlineTouched if a touch occurs.
highVal (float) : The high price of the current bar, used for midline touch check.
lowVal (float) : The low price of the current bar, used for midline touch check.
method deleteDrawings(this, deleteTestedToo)
Deletes all visual drawing objects associated with this FVG object.
Namespace types: types.fvgObject
Parameters:
this (fvgObject type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The FVG object instance. Deletes drawings referenced by boxId,
mitigatedBoxId, midLineId, mitLineId, boxLabelId, mitLineLabelId,
and potentially testedBoxId, keptMitLineId. Sets these ID fields to na.

(i.e., testedBoxId and keptMitLineId).
method updateDrawings(this, isVisibleNow, settings)
Manages the comprehensive update of all visual elements of an FVG object
based on its current state (e.g., active, mitigated, partially filled) and visibility. It handles the drawing, updating, or deletion of FVG boxes (main and mitigated part),
midlines, mitigation lines, and their associated labels. Visibility is determined by the isVisibleNow parameter and relevant settings
(like settings.shouldHideMitigated or timeframe-specific show flags). This method is central to the FVG's visual lifecycle and includes optimization
to avoid redundant drawing operations if the FVG's relevant state or appearance
settings have not changed since the last bar. It also updates the FVG object's internal prev_* state fields for future optimization checks.
Namespace types: types.fvgObject
Parameters:
this (fvgObject type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : The FVG object instance to update. Reads most state fields (e.g.,
isMitigated, currentTop, tfType, etc.) and updates all drawing ID fields
(boxId, midLineId, etc.), this.isVisible, and all this.prev_* state fields.
isVisibleNow (bool) : A flag indicating whether the FVG should be currently visible. Typically determined by external logic (e.g., visual range filter). Affects
whether active FVG drawings are created/updated or deleted by this method.
settings (drawSettings type from no1x/FvgTypes/1) : A fully populated drawSettings object. This method extensively
reads its fields (colors, styles, visibility toggles, timeframe strings, etc.)
to render FVG components according to this.tfType and current state. settings.currentTime is critical for positioning elements like labels and extending drawings.
SMC Strategy BTC 1H - OB/FVGGeneral Context
This strategy is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), in particular:
The bullish Break of Structure (BOS), indicating a possible reversal or continuation of an upward trend.
The detection of Order Blocks (OB): consolidation zones preceding the BOS where the "smart money" has likely accumulated positions.
The detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVG), also called imbalance zones where the price has "jumped" a level, creating a disequilibrium between buyers and sellers.
Strategy Mechanics
Bullish Break of Structure (BOS)
A bullish BOS is detected when the price breaks a previous swing high.
A swing high is defined as a local peak higher than the previous 4 peaks.
Order Block (OB)
A bearish candle (close < open) just before a bullish BOS is identified as an OB.
This OB is recorded with its high and low.
An "active" OB zone is maintained for a certain number of bars (the zoneTimeout parameter).
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
A bullish FVG is detected if the high of the candle two bars ago is lower than the low of the current candle.
This FVG zone is also recorded and remains active for zoneTimeout bars.
Long Entry
An entry is possible if the price returns into the active OB zone or FVG zone (depending on which parameters are enabled).
Entry is only allowed if no position is currently open (strategy.position_size == 0).
Risk Management
The stop loss is placed below the OB low, with a buffer based on a multiple of the ATR (Average True Range), adjustable via the atrFactor parameter.
The take profit is set according to an adjustable Risk/Reward ratio (rrRatio) relative to the stop loss to entry distance.
Adjustable Parameters
Enable/disable entries based on OB and/or FVG.
ATR multiplier for stop loss.
Risk/Reward ratio for take profit.
Duration of OB and FVG zone activation.
Visualization
The script displays:
BOS (Break of Structure) with a green label above the candles.
OB zones (in orange) and FVG zones (in light blue).
Entry signals (green triangle below the candle).
Stop loss (red line) and take profit (green line).
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths:
Based on solid Smart Money analysis concepts.
OB and FVG zones are natural potential reversal areas.
Adjustable parameters allow optimization for different market conditions.
Dynamic risk management via ATR.
Limitations:
Only takes long positions.
No trend filter (e.g., EMA), which may lead to false signals in sideways markets.
Fixed zone duration may not fit all situations.
No automatic optimization; testing with different parameters is necessary.
Summary
This strategy aims to capitalize on price retracements into key zones where "smart money" has acted (OB and FVG) just after a bullish Break of Structure (BOS) signal. It is simple, customizable, and can serve as a foundation for a more comprehensive strategy.
ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System
Overview:
The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones.
This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move.
🔍 What This Script Does
🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic)
The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback.
A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal.
A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction.
📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer
Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction.
Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations.
🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering
Only show signals during institutional trading hours:
London Session
New York AM
Or any custom user-defined session
Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur.
🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional)
Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies.
Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification.
🎨 Visual Feedback
Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles.
Optionally displays:
Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL)
Reversal distance labels
Background color shading on valid signals
