Fractals + FVG [Combined]Звісно, ось варіант опису англійською, який можна використати для публікації індикатора в TradingView.
Description
This script combines two powerful and widely-used trading concepts into a single, comprehensive indicator: Bill Williams Fractals with dynamic support/resistance lines and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) based on the popular logic from LuxAlgo.
The goal is to provide a cleaner chart by merging two essential tools, allowing traders to analyze market structure and imbalances simultaneously.
Features
1. Williams Fractals with Invalidation Lines
This part of the indicator identifies classic Bill Williams fractals and enhances them with a unique visualization feature.
Fractal Detection: Automatically identifies both bullish (bottom) and bearish (top) fractals. You can choose between a 3-bar or 5-bar pattern in the settings.
Dynamic S/R Lines: A horizontal line is automatically drawn from every confirmed fractal, acting as a potential support or resistance level.
Automatic Invalidation: A line is considered "invalidated" or breached when the body of a candle closes past it. When this happens, the line stops extending, changes its color to the "invalidated" color, and remains on the chart as a historical reference. This provides a clear, objective signal that a level has been broken.
Customization: You can fully customize the colors for the support, resistance, and invalidated lines to match your chart theme.
2. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) / Imbalance
This module incorporates the robust FVG detection logic from LuxAlgo to automatically identify and display market imbalances.
FVG Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps on the chart with colored boxes, representing inefficiencies in price delivery.
Automatic Mitigation: The FVG boxes are automatically removed from the chart once the price has "mitigated" or filled the gap, keeping your workspace clean and focused on active imbalances.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF): You can set the indicator to find and display FVGs from a higher timeframe directly on your current chart.
Dashboard: An optional on-screen dashboard provides a quick summary of the total count of bullish/bearish FVGs and the percentage that have been mitigated.
Full Customization: Control the colors of FVG boxes, extend their length, and configure other visual style settings.
How to Use
Fractal Lines: Use the active support and resistance lines as key levels for potential bounces or breaks. A line's invalidation can serve as confirmation of a shift in market structure.
FVG Zones: Fair Value Gaps often act as "magnets" for price. Use these zones as potential targets for your trades or as areas of interest for entries when price retraces to fill the imbalance.
Combined Strategy: The true power of this indicator comes from combining both concepts. For example, a bullish FVG forming near a key fractal support level can create a high-probability confluence zone for a long entry. Similarly, a break and invalidation of a fractal resistance line might signal that price is heading towards the next bearish FVG above.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should be used in conjunction with your own trading strategy and risk management rules.
Balanced Price Range | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator! A Balanced Price Range is a trading concept used by price action traders. It is detected by finding overlapping area between two contrary Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These areas can be used as entry points during market pullbacks. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Balanced Price Range Features :
Balanced Price Range Detection : Identifies areas where bullish and bearish FVGs overlap, suggesting a zone of price equilibrium.
Customizable FVG & BPR Detection : You can fine-tune FVG detection and sensitivity for BPR detection to your liking.
Retest Labels : Bullish & Bearish retest labels will be rendered for BPRs.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish BPR detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator doesn't just detect standard FVGs but specifically looks for areas where bullish and bearish IFVGs (Invalidated Fair Value Gaps) overlap, defining a Balanced Price Range. It also actively manages and updates identified BPR zones, removing them when they are invalidated or remain untouched for a specified period. It highlights and alerts users to retests of established BPR zones, signaling potential trading opportunities. Users can tailor the appearance of the BPR zones and retest markers, as well as configure specific alerts for new BPR formations and retests.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. The indicator first detects bullish & bearish FVG zones according to their formations on chart. Then, they are dynamically tracked and flagged as invalidated if the price crosses them, turning them into IFVGs. When a FVG & IFVG of the same type overlaps, the indicator combines them into a single BPR of corresponding type. The detected BPR is updated as new data comes in, and renders retests labels as they occur. A bullish BPR can be used to find long trade entry opportunities, while a bearish BPR can be used to find short trade entry opportunities. Retests can also indicate potential movements in the corresponding direction of the BPR. Users can set-up alerts for BPR detection & BPR retests and will get notified as they occur.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired BPR zones will remain visible on the chart.
Balanced Price Range:
FVG Detection Method: Determines the criteria for the bar types forming the initial FVG.
Same: All three bars forming the FVG must be of the same type (all bullish or all bearish).
Mixed: The bar types must vary (a mix of bullish and bearish bars).
All: Bar types can vary or be the same.
FVG Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the initial FVG.
BPR Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (wick or close) invalidates the Balanced Price Range.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity of FVG detection. Higher values may identify fewer, larger BPRs, while lower values may detect more, smaller BPRs.
Labels: Toggles the display of text labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables or disables the detection and visualization of BPR retests.

2022 Model ICT Entry Strategy [TradingFinder] One Setup For Life🔵 Introduction
The ICT 2022 model, introduced by Michael Huddleston, is an advanced trading strategy rooted in liquidity and price imbalance, where time and price serve as the core elements. This ICT 2022 trading strategy is an algorithmic approach designed to analyze liquidity and imbalances in the market. It incorporates concepts such as Fair Value Gap (FVG), Liquidity Sweep, and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to help traders identify liquidity movements and structural changes in the market, enabling them to determine optimal entry and exit points for their trades.
This Full ICT Day Trading Model empowers traders to pinpoint the Previous Day High/Low as well as the highs and lows of critical sessions like the London and New York sessions. These levels act as Liquidity Zones, which are frequently swept prior to a market structure shift (MSS) or a retracement to areas such as Optimal Trade Entry (OTE).
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT 2022 model is a sophisticated trading strategy that focuses on identifying key liquidity levels and price movements. It operates based on two main principles. In the first phase, the price approaches liquidity zones and sweeps critical levels such as the previous day’s high or low and key session levels.
This movement is known as a Liquidity Sweep. In the second phase, following the sweep, the price retraces to areas like the FVG (Fair Value Gap), creating ideal entry points for trades. Below is a detailed explanation of how to apply this strategy in bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To use the ICT 2022 model in a bullish setup, start by identifying the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as those of the London or New York sessions. In a bullish setup, the price usually moves downward first, sweeping the Liquidity Low. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, reflects the collection of buy orders by major market participants.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure and start moving upward; this shift, referred to as Market Structure Shift (MSS), signals the beginning of an upward trend. Following MSS, areas like FVG, located within the Discount Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these zones. Once the price returns, a long trade is executed.
Finally, the stop-loss should be set below the liquidity low to manage risk, while the take-profit target is usually placed above the previous day’s high or other identified liquidity levels. This structure enables traders to take advantage of the upward price movement after the liquidity sweep.
🟣 Bearish ICT 2022 Model Setup
To identify a bearish setup in the ICT 2022 model, begin by marking the Previous Day High/Low or key session levels, such as the London or New York sessions. In this scenario, the price typically moves upward first, sweeping the Liquidity High. This move, known as a Liquidity Sweep, signifies the collection of sell orders by key market players.
After the liquidity sweep, the price should shift market structure downward. This movement, called the Market Structure Shift (MSS), indicates the start of a downtrend. Following MSS, areas such as FVG, found within the Premium Zone, are identified. At this stage, the trader waits for the price to retrace to these areas. Once the price revisits these zones, a short trade is executed.
In this setup, the stop-loss should be placed above the liquidity high to control risk, while the take-profit target is typically set below the previous day’s low or another defined liquidity level. This approach allows traders to capitalize on the downward price movement following the liquidity sweep.
🔵 Settings
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT 2022 model is a comprehensive and advanced trading strategy designed around key concepts such as liquidity, price imbalance, and market structure shifts (MSS). By focusing on the sweep of critical levels such as the previous day’s high/low and important trading sessions like London and New York, this strategy enables traders to predict market movements with greater precision.
The use of tools like FVG in this model helps traders fine-tune their entry and exit points and take advantage of bullish and bearish trends after liquidity sweeps. Moreover, combining this strategy with precise timing during key trading sessions allows traders to minimize risk and maximize returns.
In conclusion, the ICT 2022 model emphasizes the importance of time and liquidity, making it a powerful tool for both professional and novice traders. By applying the principles of this model, you can make more informed trading decisions and seize opportunities in financial markets more effectively.
Inversion Fair Value Gap Oscillator | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the new Inversion Fair Value Gap Oscillator (IFVG Oscillator) indicator! This unique indicator identifies and tracks Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) in price action, presenting them in an oscillator format to reveal market momentum based on IFVG strength. It highlights bullish and bearish IFVGs while enabling traders to adjust detection sensitivity and apply volume and ATR-based filters for more precise setups. For more information about the process, check the "📌 HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new IFVG Oscillator:
Fully Customizable FVG & IFVG Detection
An Oscillator Approach To IFVGs
Divergence Markers For Potential Reversals
Alerts For Divergence Labels
Customizable Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fair Value Gaps are price gaps within bars that indicate inefficiencies, often filled as the market retraces. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is created in the opposite direction once a FVG gets invalidated. The IFVG Oscillator scans historical bars to identify these gaps, then filters them based on ATR or volume. Each IFVG is marked as bullish or bearish according to the opposite direction of the original FVG that got invalidated.
An oscillator is calculated using recent IFVGs with this formula :
1. The Oscillator starts as 0.
2. When a new IFVG Appears, it contributes (IFVG Width / ATR) to the oscillator of the corresponding type.
3. Each confirmed bar, the oscillator is recalculated as OSC = OSC * (1 - Decay Coefficient)
The oscillator aggregates and decays past IFVGs, allowing recent IFVG activity to dominate the signal. This approach emphasizes current market momentum, with oscillations moving bullish or bearish based on IFVG intensity. Divergences are marked where IFVG oscillations suggest potential reversals. Bullish Divergence conditions are as follows :
1. The current candlestick low must be the lowest of last 25 bars.
2. Net Oscillator (Shown in gray line by default) must be > 0.
3. The current Bullish IFVG Oscillator value should be no more than 0.1 below the highest value from the last 25 bars.
Traders can use divergence signals to get an idea of potential reversals, and use the Net IFVG Oscillator as a trend following marker.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
The Inversion Fair Value Gap Oscillator stands out by converting IFVG activity into an oscillator format, providing a momentum-based visualization of IFVGs that reveals market sentiment dynamically. Unlike traditional indicators that statically mark IFVG zones, the oscillator decays older IFVGs over time, showing only the most recent, relevant activity. This approach allows for real-time insight into market conditions and potential reversals based on oscillating IFVG strength, making it both intuitive and powerful for momentum trading.
Another unique feature is the combination of customizable ATR and volume filters, letting traders adapt the indicator to match their strategy and market type. You can also set-up alerts for bullish & bearish divergences.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Decay Coefficient -> The decay coefficient for oscillators. Increasing this setting will result in oscillators giving the weight to recent IFVGs, while decreasing it will distribute the weight equally to the past and recent IFVGs.
2. Fair Value Gaps
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Inversion Fair Value Gaps
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation.
4. Style
Divergence Labels On -> You can switch divergence labels to show up on the chart or the oscillator plot.
Candle Range Theory | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Candle Range Theory Indicator! This powerful tool offers a strategy built around the Candle Range Theory, which analyzes market movements through the relative size and structure of price candles. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new Candle Range Theory Indicator :
Implementation of the Candle Range Theory
FVG & Order Block Entry Methods
2 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator operates by identifying significant price movements through the relative size and structure of candlesticks. A key part of the strategy is determining large candles based on their range compared to the Average True Range (ATR) in a higher timeframe. Once identified, a breakout of either the high wick or the low wick of the large candle is required. This breakout is considered a liquidity grab. After that, the indicator waits for confirmation through Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). The confirmation structure must be the opposite direction of the breakout, for example if the high wick is broken, a bearish FVG is required for the short entry. After a confirmation signal is received, the indicator will trigger entry points based on your chosen entry method (FVG or OB), and exit points will be calculated using either a dynamic ATR-based TP/SL method or fixed percentages. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Proft, and Stop-Loss are available.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out because it combines two highly effective entry methods: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). You can choose between these strategies depending on market conditions. Additionally, the dynamic TP/SL system uses the ticker's volatility to automatically calculate stop-loss and take-profit targets. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current tiker. The Candle Range Theory approach offers more flexibility compared to traditional indicators, allowing for better customization and control based on your risk tolerance.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe: Customize the higher timeframe for analysis. Recommended combinations include M15 -> H4, H4 -> Daily, Daily -> Weekly, and Weekly -> Monthly.

Show HTF Candle Lines: Toggle to display the higher timeframe candle lines for better visual clarity.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Order Blocks
Swing Length: Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
ICT Unicorn | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Unicorn Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Unicorn" strategy. The strategy uses Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Unicorn Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Unicorn Strategy
Toggleable Retracement Entry Method
3 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Unicorn entry model merges the concepts of Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), offering a distinct method for identifying trade opportunities. By integrating these two elements, we can have a position entry with stop-loss and take-profit targets on the potential support & resistance zones. This model is particularly reliable for trade entry, as it combines two powerful entry techniques.
An ICT Unicorn Model consists of a FVG which is overlapping with a Breaker Block of the same type. Here is an example :
When a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type, the indicator gives a Buy or Sell signal depending on the FVG type (Bullish & Bearish). If the "Require Retracement" option is enabled in the settings, the signals are not given immediately. Instead, the current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the signals are given.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Unicorn concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order & breaker blocks.
Require Retracement ->
a) Disabled : The entry signal is given immediately once a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type.
b) Enabled : The current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the entry signal is given.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Unicorn : This is the default option. The SL will be set to the lowest low of the last 100 bars with an extra offset in a Buy signal. For Sell signals, the SL will be set to the highest high of the last 100 bars with an extra offset. The TP is then set to a value using the SL value and maintaining a risk-reward ratio.
b) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
c) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
HTF Fair Value Gap [LuxAlgo]The HTF Fair Value Gap indicator aims to display the exact time/price locations of fair value gaps within a higher user-selected chart timeframe.

Useful for aligning entries with larger market flow.
📌 How to Use SMC-Math by Thomas v1
1️⃣ Identifying Direction
Start by reading:
HTF Trend Label
BOS & CHOCH reactions
Bullish: look for HL → HH structure + bullish OBs + bullish FVGs
Bearish: look for LH → LL structure + bearish OBs + bearish FVGs
This creates your directional bias.
2️⃣ Using Order Blocks
An OB is valid when:
It appears in line with structure
HTF alignment supports it (optional toggle)
Price returns after a displacement
OB is not “broken” (indicator handles this visually)
Use OBs as:
Rebalance targets
Entry areas
Stop placement logic
3️⃣ Fair Value Gaps
FVGs appear when price dislocates and leaves inefficiency.
Use them to:
Refine entries inside OBs
Project premium/discount zones
Identify continuation zones
The indicator auto-removes FVGs when filled.
4️⃣ Liquidity Zones
Liquidity zones identify resting orders at equal highs/lows.
This version uses simple expiry logic:
Box is created when EQH/EQL forms
It remains visible for 20 bars (default)
It disappears automatically after expiry
No hint/confirmation triggers deletion
Usage tips:
Expect price to run toward these zones
Use them as targets or continuation markers
Combine with OB/FVG for confluence
5️⃣ Premium / Discount Zones
Use PD arrays to gauge:
Premium = optimal shorting zones
Discount = optimal long zones
Not trade “in the middle” unless a clear BOS or CHoCH happens
📌 Recommended Workflow
HTF Bias → Check the HTF panel
Market Structure → Identify trend continuation or reversal
Liquidity → Mark where price is likely to target
FVG → Identify imbalance zones
OB → Confirm institutional origin points
PD Arrays → Determine optimal trade location
Execute with confluence
📌 Who Is This Indicator For?
✔ Traders using ICT / SMC logic
✔ Traders wanting rule-based, non-subjective markups
✔ Traders who want automated detection without repainting
✔ Anyone who uses OB, FVG, liquidity sweeps, and structure shifts

• M15 kena setuju dengan idea breakout.
o Untuk strong breakout: M15 kena tunjuk candle close di atas/bawah range + volume naik.
o Kalau M5 breakout tapi M15 tak setuju (M15 masih sideway) → treat as fakeout. Jangan masuk.
________________________________________
3) M5 — cari entry & confirmation (OB/FVG + candle)
• M5 adalah tempat kau buat keputusan masuk.
• Tunggu script keluarkan Sideway Buy/Sell atau Breakout Buy/Sell.
• CONFIRM entry mesti ada sekurang-kurangnya 1 dari:
o Bull/Bear Order Block searah signal (script detect).
o FVG / Imbalance zone dipenuhi & price retest.
o Candle rejection (pinbar / bearish/bullish engulfing) pada zone.
Jika tiada confirmation → no trade.
________________________________________
4) Checklist sebelum tekan Buy/Sell (MUST)
• H1 bias tidak melawan trade (prefer sama arah).
• M15 confirm breakout / trend or neutral.
• Script keluarkan signal (sideway or breakout).
• OB or FVG atau candle rejection ada.
• ATR kenaikan jika breakout (untuk breakout trade).
• Volume spike jika breakout.
• Risk:SL <= 2% akaun (position sizing).
Kalau semua ticked → boleh entry.
________________________________________
5) Setting SL / TP & position sizing
• Sideway (scalp): SL = 5–8 tick, TP = 8–12 tick.
• Breakout (trend): SL = 8–12 tick, TP = 15–25+ tick (trail later).
• Position sizing: Risk per trade 1–2%.
o Lot size = (Account Risk RM × 1 tick value) / (SL ticks × tickValue) — (kalau kau gunakan fixed tick value, adjust ikut lot).
(Script tunjuk SL & TP label — follow itu.)
________________________________________
6) Entry types
• A. Sideway Reversal (M5)
o Signal: Sideway Buy / Sideway Sell
o Confirm: OB/FVG or rejection candle at range bottom/top
o Trade: scalp target 8–12 tick, tight SL 5–8 tick
• B. Breakout (M5 entry, M15 confirm)
o Signal: Breakout Buy/Sell (Strong)
o Confirm: ATR expanding + volume spike + M15 alignment
o Trade: trend follow, TP 15–25 tick, trailing stop active
• C. Retest Entry
o Breakout happens, price returns to retest range / OB / FVG → wait for rejection candle then enter. Safer.
________________________________________
7) Trailing & exit rules
• Jika useTrail = true script plots trailing stop (ATR × multiplier).
• Exit rules:
1. Hit TP → close.
2. Hit SL → close.
3. If trailing stop hit → close.
4. If opposing confirmed signal muncul (e.g., SELL confirm while long) → consider close early.
5. If H1 bias flips strongly vs trade → tighten stop or close.
________________________________________
8) Multiple signals & scaling
• Never add to losing position (no averaging down).
• If want scale-in on confirmed trend: add 1 partial size after price moves +10–12 tick in favor and shows continuation candle + no bearish OB/FVG.
• Keep aggregated risk within your max (2–3%).
________________________________________
9) Example trade walkthrough (concrete)
• RangeHigh = 4065, RangeLow = 4035 (contoh).
• Market sideway M5.
Case A — Sideway Sell:
1. Price touches 4064–4065, script shows sidewaySell.
2. Lihat OB: ada bear OB zone di 4062–4066 → confirm.
3. Candle rejection (bearish pinbar) muncul → enter SELL M5.
4. Set SL = 5 tick above rangeHigh = 4070, TP = 10 tick → 4055.
5. Trail jika price turun > 8 tick: aktifkan trailing.
6. Close at TP or trail/SL.
Case B — Breakout Buy:
1. Price closes above 4065 + 5 tick buffer = 4070 on M5. Script shows trueBreakUp.
2. M15 shows candle close above M15 resistance + volume spike → confirm.
3. Enter BUY, SL = 8 tick below entry, TP initial 20 tick, trail with ATR×1.5.
4. Move stop to breakeven after +10 tick, scale out half at +12 tick, leave rest to trail.
________________________________________
10) Journal & review
• Semua trade: record entry time, TF, reason (which confirmations), SL/TP, result, lesson.
• Weekly review: check which confirmation worked best (OB vs FVG vs candle) and tweak settings.
________________________________________
11) Tweaks / optimisations cepat
• Jika terlalu banyak false sideway signals → kurangkan touchDist ke 2 tick.
• Kalau fakeout breakout banyak → tambah tickBuf ke 6–8.
• Nak lebih konservatif → cuma trade breakout yang juga setuju M15.
________________________________________
12) Alerts & execution (practical)
• Pasang alert pada BUY Confirm / SELL Confirm (script).
• Kalau kau guna broker yang support one-click order, siap sediakan template order (SL/TP default).
• Kalau manual, bila alert masuk: buka M5, cepat confirm OB/FVG & candle rejection → entry.
________________________________________
Quick reference table (handy)
• TF utama entry: M5
• Confirm mid-TF: M15
• Bias HTF: H1
• Sideway SL/TP: SL 5–8, TP 8–12
• Breakout SL/TP: SL 8–12, TP 15–25+
• Mandatory confirmation: (Script signal) + (OB or FVG or candle)
Structure & FVG Bias Analyzer — WS🧠 Overview
The Structure & FVG Bias Analyzer — WS helps traders visualize market structure shifts, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and trend bias using EMA filtering.
It combines swing-based structural analysis (HH/HL/LH/LL) with smart-money FVG detection, creating a clean contextual view of where the market is expanding or consolidating.
Ideal for Futures, Crypto, and Smart Money traders who need bias clarity before executing entries.
📊 Structure & Bias Logic
🟢 Bullish Context: price breaking above previous highs + EMA200 confirmation.
🔴 Bearish Context: price breaking below previous lows + EMA200 confirmation.
🟡 Neutral/Inside: price consolidating between last swing points.
🟠 EMA200 Line: long-term trend filter (optional).
🧩 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Detects imbalances left by strong moves, often used by institutional trading models.
🟩 FVG↑ → Bullish gap below the candle.
🟥 FVG↓ → Bearish gap above the candle.
These areas frequently act as liquidity magnets or retest zones for continuation trades.
💡 How to Use
1️⃣ Identify structural bias
Green background → bullish market structure.
Red background → bearish structure.
No tint → neutral / range phase.
2️⃣ Locate FVG zones
Circles mark potential imbalances for reaction or continuation setups.
3️⃣ Confirm with EMA200
Only trade in the direction of EMA alignment.
4️⃣ Combine with volatility tools
For example, use this with your Squeeze + Short/Long (Futures) — WS indicator to time entries during volatility expansion once the structure bias is confirmed.

Candle Opening Price & FVG/iFVGIndicator Description: Candle Opening Price & Fair Value Gaps w/(iFVGs)
This powerful, multi-purpose indicator combines two essential trading concepts into one comprehensive tool, designed to provide traders with key price levels and areas of market imbalance.
What It Does
1. Customizable Candle Open Lines: This feature allows you to mark the opening price of specific candles from key trading sessions throughout the day.
Up to 7 Custom Time Inputs: You can define up to seven different times (e.g., "08:30" for London Open, "09:30" for New York Open).
Automatic Horizontal Lines: The script automatically draws a persistent horizontal line at the opening price of the candle corresponding to your set time.
Full Customization: Each line can be independently enabled or disabled and styled with a unique color, width, and line style (solid, dashed, dotted), allowing for a clean and personalized chart setup.
Use Cases: Ideal for marking session opens, news event candles, or any other time-based level that you consider significant for support, resistance, or directional bias.
2. Dynamic Fair Value Gaps (FVG) & Inversions (iFVG): This part of the indicator automatically identifies, draws, and manages Fair Value Gaps, a core concept in modern price action trading.
Automatic FVG Detection: The script identifies both Bullish FVGs (areas of buying inefficiency) and Bearish FVGs (areas of selling inefficiency) based on the classic three-bar pattern.
Clear Visualization: Discovered FVGs are drawn as colored boxes on the chart, extending into the future until they are mitigated. Colors for Bullish and Bearish FVGs are fully customizable.
Inversion Logic: When price wicks into an FVG, the box changes color to signify an "inversion." A Bullish FVG that gets tapped becomes potential resistance (Bearish Inversion), and a Bearish FVG becomes potential support (Bullish Inversion). This dynamic shift helps you track how the market is interacting with these zones.
Zone Mitigation: Once an inverted FVG is fully reclaimed by a candle close, the zone is considered "mitigated" and the box is automatically removed from the chart, keeping your view focused on relevant, active zones.

ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVGWant me to fill that box? Here’s a ready‑to‑paste description for your publish screen:
⸻
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVG (Crypto‑friendly)
A clean Smart Money Concepts tool that marks Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Shift (MSS), Order Blocks (OB), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with bold, easy‑to‑see visuals. Built for crypto but works on any market and timeframe.
What it does
• BOS & MSS detection with optional body/wick logic
• Order Blocks: auto‑draws the last opposite candle before a BOS, keeps only the most recent N, and fades when mitigated
• FVGs: 3‑candle gaps with a minimum size filter and a cap on how many to keep
• HTF Swings (optional): plots higher‑timeframe pivot highs/lows for top‑down context
• Alerts for BOS/MSS and FVG formation
Inputs
• Swing pivot length (default 3): sensitivity for structure pivots
• Use candle bodies for breaks: close vs level (on) or wicks (off)
• Show BOS/MSS labels, Show FVG, Show Order Blocks
• Min FVG size (ticks) and Max boxes to keep for FVG/OB
• OB uses candle body: body range vs full wick range
• Show higher timeframe swings + HTF timeframe
• Bullish/Bearish colors
How it works
• BOS triggers when price breaks the last opposite swing.
• MSS flags when the break flips the prior bias.
• OB is the most recent opposite candle prior to BOS; it’s marked and later greyed out once price closes through it (mitigation).
• FVG is detected when candle 1’s high < candle 3’s low (bear) or candle 1’s low > candle 3’s high (bull).
Alerts included
• BOS Up / BOS Down
• MSS Up / MSS Down
• FVG Up / FVG Down
Tips
• Start on 15m/1h for crypto, pivot length 3–5.
• Turn Use candle bodies ON for stricter confirmations, OFF for more signals.
• If boxes look cluttered, lower “Max boxes to keep.”
Note: This is a visual/educational tool, not financial advice. Always confirm with your own plan and risk management.
Volume FVG | Liquidity Gaps + (Z-Core Edition)📘 Indicator Description — Volume FVG Pro+
Volume FVG Pro+ is a technical analysis tool designed to automatically detect and visualize Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart. It incorporates volume-based and ATR-based filtering to highlight only meaningful zones while reducing market noise.
⚙️ How It Works:
FVG Detection:
Identifies gaps between candles that may indicate institutional activity or imbalance.
Supports two types:
Regular FVG — all price gaps.
Volume FVG — gaps with abnormally high volume, calculated via Z-Score (relative to volume average).
ATR Filtering:
Filters out insignificant price gaps using Average True Range (ATR).
Helps show only zones with strong volatility behavior.
Mitigation Logic:
Zones are marked as mitigated (deactivated) when price retraces into them.
Mitigation can be detected by wick or close, with configurable depth percentage.
Zone Extension:
Active zones automatically extend forward until they are mitigated.
Display Options:
Fully customizable:
Bullish/Bearish coloring.
Opacity and box length.
Toggle labels and outlines.
🛠️ Settings Overview:
Z-Score Thresholds — for volume-based FVG detection.
ATR Multiplier — volatility sensitivity.
Mitigation Depth (%) — defines how deep price must retrace to deactivate a zone.
Display Options — full control over how zones appear on the chart.
📌 Why Use Volume FVG:
These gaps often represent footprints of large participants.
They are statistically more likely (15–20%) to hold price and act as reaction zones compared to regular FVGs (based on internal analysis).
Useful for identifying entry/exit areas and refining market structure analysis.
👤 Best For:
Smart Money / Order Flow / Liquidity-based traders.
Intraday and swing traders using price reaction and volume cues.
Anyone seeking clear and efficient FVG detection with filtering.
iFVG (BPR)
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inversion Zones (iFVGs) based concept from the ICT methodology.
An iFVG forms when a bullish and a bearish FVG overlap, creating a double imbalance zone. These are high-reaction points often targeted by smart money.
🔷 What It Detects
Bullish FVG: When the high of Candle 1 is lower than the low of Candle 3
Bearish FVG: When the low of Candle 1 is higher than the high of Candle 3
iFVG (or BPR): When a bullish and bearish FVG overlap, forming a double imbalance zone
🔷Mitigation Logic
An FVG or BPR becomes an iFVG when price closes against its original bias Once this happens, the zone is reclassified as a potential support or resistance (iFVG)
If price later mitigates the iFVG, all visual elements are automatically removed to keep the chart clean
🔷Visual Output
Standard FVGs: Customizable lines between Candle 1 and Candle 3
iFVGs (mitigated BPRs): Adjustable and highlighted rectangles to show the full zone
Mitigation Type: FVG or iFVG zones disappear when 50% of the zone is reached
🔷Custom Settings
Show Last Zones: Set how many recent zones to display on the chart (max 100)
Mitigation Type: Based on the percentage of zone coverage
Color & Style: Customize the appearance of FVG and iFVG zones
🔷 Use Case
This indicator is designed for real-time institutional analysis, helping traders identify:
Recent imbalances (FVGs)
Confluence zones (iFVGs = BPRs)
High-reaction points in the market
Ideal when combined with market structure, liquidity levels, and Kill Zones
Best used in combination with market structure, liquidity zones, and Kill Zone timing .
TraderFa Automatic FVGhe Fair Value Gap (FVG) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool that identifies market inefficiencies by highlighting Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes. Discover key trading zones where institutions might be active—don’t miss your edge!
Introduction to the FVG Indicator
The Fair Value Gap indicator is designed to automatically detect areas of price imbalance—commonly referred to as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)—directly on your chart. These zones occur when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving behind a gap that represents a lack of order matching, and often becomes a magnet for future price action.
The concept is widely used by professional traders and is deeply rooted in liquidity-based analysis and institutional trading logic.
Key Features
Multi-timeframe FVG detection (up to 4 timeframes simultaneously):
Gain a layered perspective by monitoring price gaps on different timeframes all at once.
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs:
Highlighted zones where price surged or dropped too quickly—potential reaction areas.
Option to display or hide mitigated gaps:
You can choose to keep showing gaps that have already been filled or remove them from view.
Custom color settings for each timeframe:
Assign different colors for bullish and bearish gaps in each timeframe for better visual clarity.
How the Indicator Works
Utilizing the capabilities of Pine Script, the indicator fetches data such as high, low, open, and time from higher timeframes and compares it with current candles to detect valid FVGs.
The detection logic is based on:
A bullish FVG forms when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of two candles ago.
A bearish FVG forms when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of two candles ago.
These gaps are then visualized using boxes and labels, and updated or removed depending on whether the price has returned to fill the gap.
Use Cases in Trading
Reveal hidden liquidity zones:
Institutional traders often place orders around FVGs. Identifying these can help pinpoint high-probability entries.
Set precise entry, exit, or target zones:
Use gaps to identify potential reversal or continuation zones with minimal risk exposure.
Optimize multi-timeframe confluence:
Seeing FVGs from various timeframes simultaneously allows you to discover overlapping zones—excellent for timing trades with confidence.
Customizable Settings :
Enable/disable each of the four timeframes independently
Select your desired timeframe for each layer
Pick unique colors for bullish and bearish gaps
Show or hide mitigated (filled) gaps based on strategy
F inal Thoughts
The FVG indicator is a refined, high-precision tool built for traders who use price action and liquidity principles. Whether you're scalping or trading swing setups, this indicator offers an edge by visually representing inefficiencies in price—helping you anticipate where price is likely to react.

HTF FVG D/W/M 25%/50%/75% [MK]Do you use HTF FVG (fair value gaps) in your trading strategy? Do you monitor price on the 25%/50%/75% levels within the FVG on a lower timeframe?
This script will allow the user to display either Daily, Weekly or Monthly FVGs on a lower timeframe chart. The script will then also show the 25%/50%/75% levels within the HTF FVG so traders can see how price reacts in the FVG.
For example, a Weekly FVG may be chosen by the trader as a possible reversal point, or somewhere to add to an existing position. The trader might want to see the FVG almost fully filled, then watch price climb up/down out of the Weekly FVG
before taking the trade.
Previously traders would draw the FVG to the chart, then use maybe the tradingview fib tool to display the 25%/50%/75% levels. The problem with this is that its easy to accidently move the fib while dragging the chart around.
Chart below shows example of price almost filling a D FVG, then using the 25%/50%/75% levels as it climbs out of the FVG and reverses to the upside.
First Candle + FVGs🕯️ First Candle + 🟢🔴 FVG (Gated After Breakout)
Must be traded on the 1-minute timeframe.
• Step 1: At 9:30 AM NY time, the indicator starts tracking the first 15-minute range (9:30–9:45).
• Step 2: At 9:45 AM, it locks that range and draws two horizontal lines: First Candle High and First Candle Low.
• Step 3: The FVG logic is OFF until price breaks outside that locked range (above the high or below the low).
• Step 4: After the breakout happens, the FVG logic turns ON for the rest of the day.
• Step 5: The indicator detects bullish or bearish FVGs, but shows only one direction at a time:
• If a bullish FVG triggers → all bearish drawings are cleared/hidden.
• If a bearish FVG triggers → all bullish drawings are cleared/hidden.
• Step 6: For each active FVG, it plots:
• The FVG box
• The entry line (BUY or SELL)
• The stop-loss line (default light orange, using your selected SL rule)
• A number label for the FVG sequence
• Step 7: It resets everything on the next NY trading day and starts over.
Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0
DTR Volume FVGDTR Volume FVG detects bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps and shows how much volume occurred inside each gap. Instead of only drawing the imbalance, the indicator analyzes a lower timeframe and builds a small volume profile inside every FVG. This helps you understand which gaps are strong, weak, likely to hold, or likely to fill.
How It Works:
- The indicator finds FVGs using a lower timeframe (Auto mode or manual selection).
- Each FVG is drawn as a colored zone: green for bullish, purple for bearish.
- Inside the gap, the script shows volume distribution using horizontal boxes.
- The FVG extends forward in time until the gap is fully filled or invalidated.
- Once price closes through the gap, the zone is removed automatically.
How to Use:
- High volume inside the FVG suggests strong interest and possible support or resistance.
- Low volume suggests the gap may fill more easily.
- Bullish FVGs are used as retracement zones in uptrends.
- Bearish FVGs are used as retracement zones in downtrends.
- Use the Display option to hide the volume boxes if you want a cleaner chart.
Best For:
- Finding strong retracement zones
