CVD Candlestick - Milana TradesThe CVD Candlestick indicator visualizes Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) in the form of candlesticks, providing a deeper insight into intrabar buying and selling pressure.
Instead of plotting CVD as a simple line, this indicator displays it as a candle chart, allowing traders to analyze the momentum of volume delta just like price action.
How it Works
Delta is calculated as the difference between the bar’s close and open: delta = close - open.
Divergence + ICT-Based Confirmation
This indicator can be used effectively to detect CVD-price divergences, which may signal early signs of weakness in the current trend. When integrated with ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it becomes a powerful tool for precision-based trading setups.
CVD Divergence Logic:
A bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while CVD makes a lower high — suggesting weakening buyer aggression.
A bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while CVD makes a higher low — signaling potential seller exhaustion.
ICT Confirmation Methods:
After identifying divergence on CVD, traders may look for confirmation using ICT techniques, such as:
1) Liquidity sweeps (e.g. price takes out a prior high/low into a divergence zone)
2) Breaker blocks or order blocks aligning with the divergence area
3) Market structure shifts following divergence
4) Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) levels confluencing with CVD-based signals
Example Setup:
Identify divergence between price and CVD.
Wait for liquidity sweep or market structure break in the same zone.
Confirm entry with lower time frame precision, if needed.
Data Candle
CVD is computed as the cumulative sum of delta over time.
For each bar, a synthetic candlestick is generated based on:
CVD Open = previous CVD value
CVD Close = current CVD value
High/Low = relative range based on Open/Close
Candlestick color indicates whether buyers (green) or sellers (red) dominated the bar.
Note : This implementation uses price-based delta for simplicity and works universally across assets. For bid/ask-based delta, a feed with order book data is required, which is not accessible in Pine Script.
Use Cases
Identify divergences between price and volume delta
Confirm or question breakouts and trend strength
Use in combination with VWAP, volume profile, or liquidity zones
Analyze intrabar sentiment in a candlestick format
Features
CVD represented as full candlesticks
Clear color distinction for delta direction
Works on all symbols and timeframes

Weekly Open (Current Week Only)📘 Indicator Name: Weekly Open (Current Week Only)
📝 Description:
This indicator plots a horizontal line representing the weekly open price, visible only during the current trading week. At the beginning of each new week (based on TradingView’s weekly time segmentation), the indicator captures the open price of the first candle and draws a constant line across the chart until the week ends. Once the new week begins, the line resets and updates with the new weekly open.
🎯 How to Use – ICT Concepts Integration (Weekly Profile):
This tool is designed to complement ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading strategies, particularly within the weekly profile framework, by offering a clear and persistent visual of the weekly open, which is a critical reference point in ICT’s market structure theory.
✅ Use Cases:
Directional Bias:
According to ICT concepts, price trading above the weekly open suggests a bullish bias for the week, while trading below it implies bearish conditions.
Traders can use the weekly open line to align their intraweek trades with higher timeframe directional bias.
Dealing Ranges:
Weekly open helps frame the weekly dealing range, especially when combined with other levels like weekly high/low or previous week’s range.
It allows traders to identify potential liquidity pools or areas where price may seek to rebalance.
Mean Reversion Entries:
Price often reverts to or reacts from the weekly open. Traders may use this as a target or entry level, particularly during Monday/Tuesday setups.
Works well in conjunction with concepts like OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and Judas Swings.
Risk Management:
Acts as a clean and visual anchor to structure stop losses or take-profits based on weekly bias shifts.
Inner Circle Toolkit [TakingProphets]Inner Circle Toolkit — A Complete ICT Trading Companion
The Inner Circle Toolkit is a closed-source, all-in-one trading tool designed for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts strategies. Every part of this script is built with purpose — not just a mashup of indicators, but a structured framework to help you follow price through the lens of institutional behavior and liquidity theory.
Let’s walk through what it does and how it can help you:
🕒 Session Liquidity Levels (Asia, London, New York, NY Lunch)
The indicator automatically marks the highs and lows of the major trading sessions:
-Asian Session
-London Session
-New York AM Session
-New York Lunch
These levels are important because price often returns to these points to grab liquidity before making a move. This gives traders clear areas to watch for potential sweeps, rejections, or reversals — without having to manually track session timings every day.
REQHs and REQLs — Equal Highs and Lows
This script detects Relatively Equal Highs and Lows (REQHs/REQLs), which are often used by institutions as stop-run targets.
It’s not just looking for copy-paste double tops or bottoms — it uses a tolerance-based algorithm that checks for clusters of similar highs or lows over a given time period. These are likely to hold stops and become magnets for price. When you see these on the chart, you’ll know where the “juice” is sitting.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) — Multi-Timeframe
The script automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on both:
-Your current chart timeframe
-One or more higher timeframes (like H1 or H4)
These are three-candle gaps that form when price moves aggressively without filling in value. Price often comes back to these areas to rebalance. Seeing both local and higher-timeframe FVGs on your chart gives better context and helps with entries and exits.
The script is optimized so your chart doesn’t get messy — higher timeframe FVGs show up in a cleaner format with visual labels and lighter shading.
SMT Divergence — With Session Logic
This tool includes a real-time SMT divergence detector, based on the behavior of correlated markets like ES vs. NQ.
Here’s how it works:
If ES sweeps a liquidity level (like Asia Low), but NQ doesn’t, the script detects and marks that divergence.
This often signals institutional accumulation or distribution — a high-probability setup.
You won’t have to flip between charts or manually compare — the SMT logic runs automatically and only fires when it matters (at key session levels). It’s a smarter, more focused way to track intermarket divergences.
Daily Highs and Lows — Week-to-Week Structure
The indicator keeps track of the high and low for each day of the week — Monday through Friday — helping you understand how price is evolving across the week.
This helps build a weekly profile:
Did Monday set the high of the week?
Are we sweeping Tuesday’s low on Thursday?
These levels stay visible and labeled, helping you frame daily setups inside the bigger picture.
🕛 Midnight Open & 8:30 AM Open Levels
These two levels are core ICT concepts used to judge whether price is in premium or discount:
Midnight Open (00:00 EST): Used to determine daily bias
New York Open (08:30 EST): Often a launch point for key moves
Both are drawn automatically and extend throughout the day. This helps you align your trades with potential algorithmic bias, especially during NY session volatility.
⏰ 9:45 AM Vertical Marker — Macro Time Reminder
The script draws a subtle vertical line at 9:45 AM EST, which is the start of the NY AM macro session — one of the most likely times to see setups play out.
This is more than just a timer — it’s a visual cue that something important might be setting up soon, especially if you’re already watching SMT, FVGs, or liquidity zones from earlier.
How It All Connects — A Workflow, Not a Mashup
Every feature in this script is connected to the same goal: helping you trade with the Smart Money.
Here’s how the pieces work together:
Session levels → potential stop hunts
Equal highs/lows → targets
FVGs → entry points
SMT divergence → confirmation or warning
Daily highs/lows → Weekly structure frames bias
Open levels → premium vs. discount
Macro line → timing clue for execution
It’s built to help you flow with price action and trade the story, not just random signals.
Why It’s Closed Source — and Original
This script is closed-source because it contains:
A proprietary system for real-time SMT logic (with intermarket sweep detection)
Multi-timeframe FVG detection that auto-filters overlaps
Smart equal-high/low detection using range-based clustering
Optimized UI that shows a lot without overwhelming the chart
There are no moving averages, no public-domain indicators, and no mashup of standard tools. Everything here is purpose-built for traders who follow ICT strategies.

Dynamic Customizable 50% Line & Daily High/Low + True Day OpenA Unique Indicator for Precise Market-Level Analysis
This indicator is a fully integrated solution that automates complex market-level calculations and visualizations, offering traders a tool that goes beyond the functionality of existing open-source alternatives. By seamlessly combining several trading concepts into a single script, it delivers efficiency, accuracy, and customization that cater to both novice and professional traders.
Key Features: A Breakdown of What Makes It Unique
1. Adaptive Daily Highs and Lows
Automatically detects and plots daily high and low levels based on the selected time frame, dynamically updating in real time.
Features session-based adjustments, allowing traders to focus on levels that matter for specific trading sessions (e.g., London, New York).
Fully customizable styling, visibility, and alerts tailored to each trader’s preferences.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates daily high and low levels directly from price data, integrating session-specific time offsets to account for global trading hours. These levels provide traders with clear visual markers for key liquidity zones.
2. Automated ICT 50% Range Line
A pioneering implementation of ICT’s mid-range concept, this feature dynamically calculates and displays the midpoint of the daily range.
Offers traders a visual guide to identify premium and discount zones, aiding in determining market bias and potential trade setups.
How It Works:
The script calculates the range between the day’s high and low, dividing it by two to generate the midline. This line updates in real-time, ensuring that traders always see the most current premium and discount levels as price action evolves.
3. Dynamic Market Open Levels
Plots session opens (e.g., Asia, London, New York) and the True Day Open to provide actionable reference points for intra-day trading strategies.
Enhances precision in identifying liquidity shifts and aligning trades with institutional price movements.
How It Works:
The indicator uses predefined session times to calculate and display the opening levels for key trading sessions. It dynamically adjusts for time zones, ensuring accuracy regardless of the trader’s location.
4. Custom Watermark for Enhanced Visualization
Includes an optional watermark feature that allows users to display custom text on their charts.
Ideal for personalization, branding, or highlighting session notes without disrupting the clarity of the chart.
Why This Indicator Stands Out
First-to-Market Automation:
While the ICT 50% range line is a widely recognized concept, this is the first script to automate its calculation, combining it with other pivotal trading levels in a single tool.
All-in-One Functionality:
Unlike open-source alternatives that focus on individual features, this script integrates daily highs/lows, mid-range levels, session opens, and customizable watermarks into one cohesive system. The consolidation reduces the need for multiple indicators and ensures a clean, efficient chart setup.
Dynamic Customization:
Every feature can be adjusted to align with a trader’s strategy, time zone, or aesthetic preferences. This level of adaptability is unmatched in existing tools.

With all key levels automated and updated in real time, traders can focus on execution rather than manual plotting.
Originality and Justification for Closed Source
This script is closed-source due to its unique combination of features and proprietary logic that automates complex trading concepts like the ICT 50% range line and session-specific levels. Open-source alternatives lack this level of integration and customization, making this indicator a valuable and original contribution to the TradingView ecosystem.
What Sets It Apart from Open-Source Scripts?
Unlike open-source tools, this indicator doesn’t just replicate individual features—it enhances and integrates them into a seamless, all-in-one solution that offers traders a more efficient and effective way to analyze the market.
Pure Price Action Structures [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action Structures indicator is a pure price action analysis tool designed to automatically identify real-time market structures.
The indicator identifies short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term swing highs and lows, forming the foundation for real-time detection of shifts and breaks in market structure.
Its distinctive/unique feature lies in its reliance solely on price patterns, without being limited by any user-defined input, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is a crucial aspect of understanding price action. The script automatically identifies real-time market structure, enabling traders to comprehend market trends more easily. It assists traders in recognizing both trend changes and continuations.
Market structures are constructed from three sets of swing points, short-term swings, intermediary swings, and long-term swings. Market structures associated with longer-term swing points are indicative of longer-term trends.
A market structure shift (MSS), also known as a change of character (CHoCH), is a significant event in price action analysis that may signal a potential shift in market sentiment or direction. Conversely, a break of structure (BOS) is another significant event in price action analysis that typically indicates a continuation of the prevailing trend.
However, it's important to note that while an MSS can be the first indication of a trend reversal and a BOS signifies a continuation of the prevailing trend, they do not guarantee a complete reversal or continuation of the trend.
In some cases, MSS and BOS levels may also act as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation, rather than indicating a definitive change in market direction or continuation. Traders should approach them with caution and consider additional factors to confirm the validity of the signal before making trading decisions.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structures
Market structures are based on the analysis of price action and aim to identify key levels and patterns in the market, where swing point detection is one of the core concepts within ICT trading methodologies and teachings.
Swing points are automatically detected solely based on market movements, without any reliance on user-defined input.
🔹 Utilizing Swing Points
Swing points are not identified in real time as they occur. While short-term swing points may be displayed with a delay of at most one bar, the identification of intermediate and long-term swing points depends entirely on market movements. Furthermore, detection is not limited by any user-defined input but relies solely on pure price action. Consequently, swing points are not typically utilized in real-time trading scenarios.
Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential entry and exit points for their trades. By identifying swing highs and lows, traders can:
Recognize Trends: Swing highs and lows help traders identify the direction of the trend. Higher swing highs and higher swing lows indicate an uptrend, while lower swing highs and lower swing lows indicate a downtrend.
Identify Support and Resistance Levels: Swing highs often serve as resistance levels, known in ICT terminology as Buyside Liquidity Levels, while swing lows function as support levels, also referred to in ICT terminology as Sellside Liquidity Levels. Traders can utilize these levels to strategize entry and exit points for their trades.
Spot Reversal Patterns: Swing points can form various reversal patterns, such as double tops or bottoms, head and shoulders patterns, and triangles. Recognizing these patterns can signal potential trend reversals, allowing traders to adjust their strategies accordingly.
Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: In the context of ICT teachings, swing levels represent specific price levels where a concentration of buy or sell orders is anticipated. Traders can target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions, essentially using swing points to establish stop loss and take profit levels for their trades.
Overall, swing points provide valuable information about market dynamics and can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions.

Daye's Quarterly TheoryDaye's Quarterly Theory Indicator
Description
The Daye's Quarterly Theory Indicator divides trading time into smaller units to help traders identify potential accumulation, manipulation, distribution, and reversal/continuation phases within a day. It applies these time divisions to your charts, offering visual guidance aligned with ICT's PO3 concept:
Accumulation (A): The phase where positions are accumulated.
Manipulation (M): The phase where the market moves against the prevailing trend to trap traders.
Distribution (D): The phase where accumulated positions are distributed.
Reversal/Continuation (X): The phase indicating either a reversal or continuation of the trend.
This indicator breaks down time into quarters at different levels:
Daily Quarters:
Q1: 18:00 - 00:00 (Asia)
Q2: 00:00 - 06:00 (London)
Q3: 06:00 - 12:00 (NY AM)

London Intraday Protraction (Normal + Delayed) [Pro+]The London Intraday Protraction° is an automatic market profiling tool designed from ICT Time and price parameters projected for London Session studies:
Time:
Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR)
Asian Range (AR)
London Session
Price:
Central Bank Dealers Range Size (CBDR)
Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR) Standard Deviations
Asian Range Size (AR)
Protraction (fake move, trap)
This tool allows you to keep your attention dialled into the Session harnessing the concepts listed above through historical data (statistics + previous sessions), and live visuals.
This tool automatically annotates your CBDR and AR reference points, and prints range values in pips as a label above the CBDR and AR; it also projects the CBDR deviations encompassed in London's Time opportunity – up to three standard deviations.
The range values for the Time-based ranges, and price action are filtered into conditional statements as taught in the Core Content from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
There are three profile types:
1) Normal Protraction – the high/low of the Day is anticipated in early London Session.
2) Delayed Protraction – due to invalid Price Parameters (Range Sizes) the Protraction is expected in the later stages of the London Session (this protraction may, or may not be, the high/low of the Day).
3) Normal Protraction Negated – due to invalid Time Parameters, the Protraction is expected in the later stages of the London Session (this protraction may, or may not be, the high/low of the Day).
Notice the color coding of the specific scenarios, as it always repeats – it will aid pattern recognition.
The statistical table shows the total number of viewable London Sessions on chart; it provides the total number of filtered Normal Protraction Sessions, and Delayed Protractions Sessions. It also indicates a percentage of how many filtered conditions held true and provided clean price action or narrative.
The true power of this tool lies in its specific window of Time opportunity, and solid conditional logic provided by ICT's teachings; having the London Session analysis automated, allows you to focus on price, and bias, rather than drawing predetermined ICT parameters.

First FVG📘 Indicator Description (English)
First FVG – NY Open is a TradingView indicator designed to automatically identify the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that appears during the New York session, following the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology.
It highlights institutional inefficiencies in price caused by imbalanced price action and helps traders spot high-probability entry zones, especially after the 9:30 AM EST (New York Open).
⚙️ How It Works
Session time: The indicator scans for FVGs starting at 9:32 AM (allowing 3 candles after the NY Open to form).
FVG Conditions:
Bullish FVG: When the high of 2 candles ago is lower than the low of the current candle and the middle candle is bullish.
Bearish FVG: When the low of 2 candles ago is higher than the high of the current candle and the middle candle is bearish.
Only the first FVG per session is drawn, as taught by ICT for setups like Judas Swing or NY Reversal models.
A colored box is drawn to represent the FVG zone.
A dotted horizontal line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG box (Consequent Encroachment), a key level watched by smart money traders.
A dashed vertical line is drawn at 9:30 NY time to mark the open.
🧠 How to Use It
Wait for the NY Open (9:30 AM EST) – the indicator becomes active at 9:32 AM.
Watch for the first FVG box of the day. This is often a high-probability reaction zone.
Use the CE line (center of the FVG) as a reference for entries, rejections, or liquidity grabs.
Combine with market structure, PD Arrays, and liquidity concepts as taught by ICT for confluence.
The FVG box and CE line will extend forward for several candles for visual clarity.
🎛️ Customizable Settings

Asia & London Levels [cem_trades]Asia & London Session Highs/Lows – Clean Session Range Visualization
This indicator tracks and visualizes the high and low levels of the Asian and London trading sessions based on ICT-aligned time definitions (New York time). It provides clean, minimalistic lines that dynamically extend across the chart — until price touches them — offering a reliable visual framework for session-based support and resistance.
Unlike generic session high/low scripts, this tool integrates smart line behavior: each level continues to extend until the market reacts to it. Once price touches the level, the line stops extending — helping traders distinguish untouched (virgin) levels from those that have been tested.
This concept is widely used in institutional order flow and liquidity strategies, especially in the context of ICT-based trading models.
Key Features:
Tracks latest Asian & London session highs and lows
Smart extension logic: lines stop extending once touched by price
Minimalistic labels with clean styling for a non-intrusive display
Timezone aligned to New York (ICT-style) session logic
Designed for clarity and focus, with no unnecessary clutter
How to Use:
Add the indicator to your chart
Asian session: 7PM–12AM (NY time)
London session: 2AM–5AM (NY time)
Levels appear immediately after the session ends
Use untouched session highs/lows as potential liquidity targets or reversal zones
This tool is ideal for traders who rely on session-based liquidity engineering and prefer to mark critical ranges without drawing manually. Works on any asset and timeframe.
Predictive Time & AlertsPredictive Time Engine (ICT Macros)
Summary
The Predictive Time Engine is a visual tool designed specifically for traders who utilize Time & Price based methodologies, particularly those inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts.
The primary purpose of this indicator is to visualize the critical "time windows" where market liquidity is most likely to be significantly manipulated or distributed. Instead of only appearing in real-time, this indicator is predictive: at the beginning of each day, it will automatically calculate and draw all selected macro sessions for the day ahead, serving as your daily time roadmap.
With this tool, you will no longer miss these crucial moments and can be better prepared to anticipate price action.
Key Features
Predictive Visualization: Automatically projects and draws all macro time windows for the current trading day, giving you a forward-looking view of where the action is likely to occur.
ICT Macro Time Filter: Based on the "Hourly-Macros" concept, which are specific 20-minute periods within each hour (e.g., 09:50 - 10:10) where the price delivery algorithm (IPDA) is often active. You can select and enable each macro window you wish to monitor.
Full Customization: You have complete control over how the information is displayed. Choose between:
Outline: A clean, transparent box frame.
Background: A solid, colored background for the time zone.
Vertical Lines (Dotted, Dashed, Solid): Marks the beginning of each macro session with a vertical line in your chosen style.
Real-time Alerts: Set up notifications in TradingView to get an alert precisely when the price enters one of your selected Macro Time windows.
Automatic Management: Drawings from previous days are automatically cleared to keep your chart clean and focused on the current day's schedule.
The Concept Behind the Indicator
This indicator is inspired by the concept that the market moves in fractal Time Cycles, from yearly down to 90-minute periods. Each of these time cycles often follows a pattern of AMD (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution).
Accumulation: A phase of order gathering.
Manipulation: Price is often driven in the opposite direction of its true intent to sweep liquidity (stop losses).
Distribution: The true price move towards a liquidity target (Draw On Liquidity).
The Macro Time windows marked by this indicator are often the stage where the Manipulation phase or the beginning of the Distribution phase occurs. By knowing when these times are approaching, traders can be on high alert and look for confirming trade setups in the most potent areas and times.
How to Use
Configure Sessions: Open the indicator's Settings.
In the "1. General Settings" tab, ensure the Timezone matches your chart's local time (Default: "America/New_York").
In the "2. Active Macro Sessions" tab, check the box for each macro time window you want to monitor.
Choose Display Style: In "General Settings", select your preferred "Display Style" (Outline, Background, or various Line types). You can also change the color.
Set Up Alerts (Optional):
Click the "Alert" clock icon in the TradingView toolbar.
In the "Condition" section, select this indicator: Predictive Time Engine.
From the dropdown below it, ensure "Sesi Makro Dimulai" (Macro Session Start) is selected.
Set your desired notification options and click "Create".
Chart Interpretation: Use the marked time zones as high-alert areas. Pay close attention to how price reacts when entering or leaving these zones to find potential entry opportunities that align with your trading strategy.

Mech Model - monkertrades x {DeadCatCode}Mech Model - Multi-Timeframe ICT Liquidity & iFVG Trading System
Detailed Methodology & Underlying Concepts
This indicator automates the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology by identifying institutional order flow through liquidity sweeps and inverse Fair Value Gap (iFVG) formations across multiple timeframes.
Core Logic & Calculations
1. Liquidity Level Identification The script tracks four key liquidity pools:
NY session dynamic LQ detection everytime it sweeps high/low Calculates high/low from 18:00-09:30 EST
Session Extremes: Monitors Asia (20:00-23:00), London (02:00-05:00) session highs/lows
Previous Day Levels: Requests PDH/PDL using request.security() with daily timeframe
Dynamic Updates: Liquidity levels update in real-time when swept during NY session
2. Market Structure Analysis
Uses pivot points logic to understand HH.HL parameters
Classifies pivots as Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL)
Stores last 50 pivots for reference in custom PivotPoint type arrays, background calculations to identfy price legs after sweep
3. Fair Value Gap Detection
Bullish FVG: When low > high (gap between candles)
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Stores FVG data including top, bottom, direction, and bar index
Tracks "wicking" - when price touches but doesn't close through FVG
4. Price Leg Formation (Key Innovation) When liquidity is swept:
Bull Leg: Forms after low sweep, connects previous swing high to sweep point
Bear Leg: Forms after high sweep, connects previous swing low to sweep point
Leg remains "active" and extends with continued liquidity breaks
5. iFVG Signal Generation The signal fires when:
An active price leg exists (post-liquidity sweep)
An FVG within the leg range gets "closed through" (not just wicked)
This creates an inverse FVG (iFVG) - the key entry signal
Signal direction matches leg type (bull leg + bull iFVG = buy signal)
6. Multi-Timeframe Synchronization
Uses request.security() to run detection logic on 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m
All signals display on 1-minute chart via status table
How Traders Use This
Setup Phase: Script identifies when price sweeps overnight/session liquidity
Confirmation: Waits for FVG within the "price leg" to be violated
Entry Signal: iFVG formation provides precise entry point
Target: Typically the next unmitigated FVG on 5-minute timeframe
Key Parameters Users Can Adjust
Session times for different market hours
Visual elements (colors, transparency, line styles)
Timeframe selection (enable/disable 1m-5m)
Wick grace period (0-100 bars)
Signal display mode (triangles vs horizontal lines)
This script essentially automates the manual process ICT traders use to identify institutional footprints through liquidity raids and subsequent rebalancing via FVG mitigation.
[TehThomas] - Market Structure Shift (MSS)
- Market Structure Shift (MSS) Script Overview
This TradingView script is designed to help traders identify Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS), which are key concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. By detecting significant shifts in price action, the script provides visual cues and alerts to help traders spot potential trend changes and continuation patterns.
How the Script Works
1. Identifying Swing Highs & Lows
The script detects swing highs and swing lows based on a pivot strength setting (default: 3).
A swing high forms when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of a set number of candles on both sides.
A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the surrounding candles.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS) Detection
A bullish MSS occurs when price closes above the most recent swing high after previously being in a bearish trend.
A bearish MSS occurs when price closes below the most recent swing low after being in a bullish trend.
This signals a potential trend reversal and is often a key area for liquidity grabs and smart money entry points.
3. Break of Structure (BOS) Detection (Optional - Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
A BOS is detected when price continues in the direction of the trend, confirming a structural break rather than a shift.
Bullish BOS: Price breaks a swing high but does not reverse (confirms trend continuation).
Bearish BOS: Price breaks a swing low but continues downward.
BOS levels help traders confirm trend strength and potential trade continuation setups.
4. Drawing Structure Lines & Labels
The script plots horizontal lines at the detected MSS and BOS levels.
Labels such as "MSS" or "BOS" appear at the breakout points.
Traders can customize the line style, color, and text size for better visibility.
5. Alert System for MSS & BOS
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when an MSS or BOS occurs.
Alerts can be set for:
Any MSS / Any BOS
Bullish MSS / Bullish BOS
Bearish MSS / Bearish BOS
Settings You Can Change
The script allows for full customization through the following input parameters:
Pivot Strength (pivot_strength)

Why This Script is Useful
✔ Detects Key Market Structure Changes
MSS and BOS are critical for identifying trend reversals and trend continuations.
Helps traders avoid false breakouts by distinguishing between structural shifts and simple breakouts.
✔ Enhances Smart Money Trading Strategies
MSS often aligns with liquidity grabs before price reverses.
BOS confirms continuation trades in strong trends.
Works well with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Liquidity Zones.
✔ Customizable Alerts & Visuals
Traders can enable alerts for MSS and BOS to receive notifications when price shifts.
Adjustable styling ensures clarity across different trading setups.
✔ Works on Any Asset & Timeframe
Suitable for Forex, Crypto, Stocks, and Indices.
Can be used on lower timeframes (scalping) or higher timeframes (swing trading).
How to Use the Market Structure Shift Concept in Trading
1️⃣ Identify Market Conditions
Apply the script and check if price is forming Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), or Lower Lows (LL).
Determine if the market is trending or ranging.
2️⃣ Watch for MSS (Reversal Signals)
Bullish MSS: Price closes above a key swing high → potential bullish reversal.
Bearish MSS: Price closes below a swing low → potential bearish reversal.
3️⃣ Confirm BOS (Trend Continuation Signals)
Bullish BOS: Price continues breaking highs, confirming an uptrend.
Bearish BOS: Price continues breaking lows, confirming a downtrend.
4️⃣ Combine with Other ICT & SMC Concepts
Look for Order Blocks (OBs) and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) near MSS/BOS levels for better trade entries.
Wait for liquidity grabs before entering trades (avoid stop hunts).
Use higher timeframe MSS/BOS zones as key support & resistance areas.
Final Thoughts
This script is a must-have tool for traders using ICT & SMC trading strategies. It helps identify trend shifts, liquidity grabs, and continuation moves by marking Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS) on the chart.

Session Statistical Mapping° [Pro+] (Joshuuu)Introduction:
Dive into the dynamic world of statistical market analysis with Session Statistical Mapping Pro+, an advanced tool designed for intraday traders of all asset classes.
Description:
This indicator offers a detailed algorithmic statistical measurement of Time and price, integrating the principles of Inner Circle Trader (ICT) to analyze the market behaviours such as Manipulation, and Distribution. This tool supercharges your trading strategies with data-driven insights.
ICT traders classify manipulation as a movement to trap market participants in the "wrong" direction. This allows analysts to anticipate the intended real direction of the distribution phase.
On the other hand, when price distributes, it's looking to expand for higher – or lower – prices. Analysts can therefore note distribution levels for a draw on liquidity, retracement, or reversal.
These levels and the Time at which they are reached during the selected session, will provide important information about orderflow when price trades through them and the sequence in which the delivery occurs.
Additionally, to amplify the price mapping, this tool plots the average Time at which its manipulation and distribution phases should complete. This feature allows traders to utilize historical Timings in conjunction with the price levels of manipulation and distribution.
As with any historical data driven tool, analysts should not expect past behaviour to match future performance. This tool was created with a data driven edge to bring attention to when sessions are likely to turn after their manipulations, or retrace after completing set distributions.
Key Features:
Algorithmic Measurement of Price: Leverage algorithmic theory to measure price movements with precision. This tool calculates average session manipulation and distribution price levels, providing traders with actionable insights based on historical data – key manipulation and distribution levels.
Algorithmic Measurement of Time: Utilize algorithmic theory to measure time-based movements within specific sessions. This tool calculates the projected average Time at which the manipulation and distribution phases are completed during a given session. This feature enhances traders' ability to interpret market movements and align their strategies with Time data.
Four Sessions Times: Customize up to four Time ranges to focus on specific trading sessions, such as the European, US, or Asian market sessions. This allows traders to align their analysis with the operational hours of major market participants, capturing the most relevant price movements. Traders can also create unique sessions based on their trading Time to study market behaviour when they usually operate in the markets – unlocking a level of understanding towards their personal backtested model and strategies.
Flexible Calculation: The sample size of the sessions can be set to a specific number – the default is 1000. This allows traders to adjust the depth of historical data used in their analysis, balancing detail and performance.
Further Customization:
Custom Appearance: Adjust the style of session lines with options like dotted, solid, and various colors. This helps traders visually distinguish between different types of market activities (e.g., Open, Manipulation, Distribution) on their charts.
Lookback Periods: Option to show available lookback periods for a deeper historical analysis, providing context and historical benchmarks for current market conditions.
Extended Visualization: Pre-extend lines until session close for better visualization of market phases. This helps traders see the continuation of trends and market behaviours beyond the immediate session.
Clean Chart Layout: Options to delete old labels and abbreviate labels maintain a clean and organized chart, enhancing readability and focus.
Conclusion
By incorporating algorithmic theory Time and price measurements, historical data insights, and the principles of Inner Circle Trader (ICT), this indicator offers a comprehensive approach to understanding market behaviour. Whether you're analyzing price patterns, timing market movements, or combining both, Session Statistical Mapping Pro+ equips you with the potential roadmap of an asset, allowing you to navigate the complexities of the market’s volatility.
Usage Guidance:
Add Session Statistical Mapping Pro to your Tradingview chart.
Choose up to 4 sessions for the mapping to plot on your chart, be sure to adjust your style and visual preferences to differentiate the sessions’ levels.
Observe how calculated manipulation, distributions, and delivery times align together with predetermined analysis.
Leverage this information with other models and insights to create a stronger narrative for your analysis.

Activate/Deactivate 2/1 POI Strategy
When the 2/1 POI strategy is activated, it employs the following conditions to determine market entries:
Volume Entry + EMA Condition + POI TOUCHED + ADX > ADXCONF and DMI+/DMI- higher depending on the trend:
Volume Entry: Looks for significant volume as confirmation that there is enough interest at the current price level.
EMA Condition: A specific condition regarding the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) must be met, such as the price being above or below the EMA, depending on the anticipated direction of price movement.
POI Touched: The price must have touched a previously identified Point of Interest, indicating a level where the price has reacted before.
ADX > ADXCONF: The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) must be greater than a set value (ADXCONF), indicating sufficient trend strength.
DMI+/DMI- higher depending on the trend: The Directional Movement Indicator Plus (DMI+) or Minus (DMI-) needs to be higher, depending on whether the trend is bullish or bearish, respectively.
This strategy is designed to capitalize on price levels where the market has shown previous reactions, using a combination of technical analysis and volume to confirm entry signals.
This image shows its use.
DIVERGENCE LOGIC
Activate/Deactivate Divergence Strategy
When the divergence strategy is activated, it employs the following conditions for making trading decisions:
Volume Entry + Divergence: This condition indicates that a market entry should be considered when there is a divergence between the price and a technical indicator (such as RSI, MACD, etc.), accompanied by significant volume.
Divergence occurs when the price of an asset moves in the opposite direction of the technical indicator, which may suggest a potential reversal in market trends. Volume plays a crucial role here, as high volume during a divergence can confirm the strength of the potential trend reversal.
This strategy aims to capitalize on moments when the market shows signs of exhaustion in a trend and is potentially gearing up to reverse, making divergences a key component in anticipating significant movements.
This image shows its use.
FOREX LOGIC
Activate/Deactivate FOREX Strategy
When the Forex strategy is activated, it uses the following conditions to execute trades:
Volume Entry + DI+ > DI- for long entries: This condition means that to consider a long position (buy), the Positive Directional Indicator (DI+) must be greater than the Negative Directional Indicator (DI-). This suggests that the market trend is moving upward, supported by sufficient trading volume backing this direction.
DI- > DI+ for short entries: For short entries (sells), the required condition is that the DI- (Negative Directional Indicator) is greater than the DI+ (Positive Directional Indicator). This indicates that the market trend is downward and that there is adequate volume confirming this bearish trend.
These conditions ensure that market entries are made with a clear confirmation of market direction based on volume and directional movement, which is crucial for increasing the probabilities of successful Forex trades.

IPDA Standard Deviations [DexterLab x TFO x toodegrees]> Introduction and Acknowledgements
The IPDA Standard Deviations tool encompasses the Time and price relationship as studied by @TraderDext3r .
I am not the creator of this Theory, and I do not hold the answers to all the questions you may have; I suggest you to study it from Dexter's tweets, videos, and material.
This tool was born from a collaboration between @TraderDext3r, @tradeforopp and I, with the objective of bringing a comprehensive IPDA Standard Deviations tool to Tradingview.
> Tool Description
This is purely a graphical aid for traders to be able to quickly determine Fractal IPDA Time Windows, and trace the potential Standard Deviations of the moves at their respective high and low extremes.
The disruptive value of this tool is that it allows traders to save Time by automatically adapting the Time Windows based on the current chart's Timeframe, as well as providing customizations to filter and focus on the appropriate Standard Deviations.
> IPDA Standard Deviations by TraderDext3r
The underlying idea is based on the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm's lookback windows on the daily chart as taught by the Inner Circle Trader:
IPDA looks at the past three months of price action to determine how to deliver price in the future.
Additionally, the ICT concept of projecting specific manipulation moves prior to large displacement upwards/downwards is used to navigate and interpret the priorly mentioned displacement move. We pay attention to specific Standard Deviations based on the current environment and overall narrative.
Dexter being one of the most prominent Inner Circle Trader students, harnessed the fractal nature of price to derive fractal IPDA Lookback Time Windows for lower Timeframes, and studied the behaviour of price at specific Deviations.
For Example:
The -1 to -2 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation.
The -2 to -2.5 area can initiate an algorithmic retracement before continuation, or a Smart Money Reversal.
The -4 area should be seen as the ultimate objective, or the level at which the displacement will slow down.
Given that these ideas stem from ICT's concepts themselves, they are to be used hand in hand with all other ICT Concepts (PD Array Matrix, PO3, Institutional Price Levels, ...).
> Fractal IPDA Time Windows
The IPDA Lookbacks Types identified by Dexter are as follows:
Monthly – 1D Chart: one widow per Month, highlighting the past three Months.
Weekly – 4H to 8H Chart: one window per Week, highlighting the past three Weeks.
Daily – 15m to 1H Chart: one window per Day, highlighting the past three Days.
Intraday – 1m to 5m Chart: one window per 4 Hours highlighting the past 12 Hours.
Inside these three respective Time Windows, the extreme High and Low will be identified, as well as the prior opposing short term market structure point. These represent the anchors for the Standard Deviation Projections.
> Tool Settings
The User is able to plot any type of Standard Deviation they want by inputting them in the settings, in their own line of the text box. They will always be plotted from the Time Windows extremes.
As previously mentioned, the User is also able to define their own Timeframe intervals for the respective IPDA Lookback Types. The specific Timeframes on which the different Lookback Types are plotted are edge-inclusive. In case of an overlap, the higher Timeframe Lookback will be prioritized.
Finally the User is able to filter and remove Standard Deviations in two ways:
"Remove Once Invalidated" will automatically delete a Deviation once its outer anchor extreme is traded through.
Manual Toggles will allow to remove the Upward or Downward Deviation of each Time Window at the discretion of the User.
Major shoutout to Dexter and TFO for their Time, it was a pleasure to collaborate and create this tool with them.
GLGT!
TTF SMC ToolkitGreetings and welcome to another community indicator from TTF! This indicator is our attempt to build a suite of tools for use in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action style trading strategies. If you aren't familiar with these models, we'd encourage you to do some independent research on them to find out how to properly use these models and the tools included in this indicator.
Important! To utilize all features of this indicator fully, please select "Bring to front" under the visual order menu.
All of the fundamental concepts of this toolkit revolve around smart money concepts and price action trading, here are some key concepts of this indicator's different features:
DR (defining range): This is a technique that uses the candle wicks (high and low of price) during a specific hour of a trading session to create a trading framework to help visualize order flow. When price breaks the high of the range, there is a very high statistical probability based on price action history, that the bottom of the range won't be traded past for the rest of that trading session. Vice versa for price breaking the low of the range.
IDR (implied defining range): Similar to DR above, this method uses the candle body (open and close of price) of price during a specific hour of a trading session to help create a trading framework to help visualize order flow.
Equilibrium: Any range can be objectively divided into a top and bottom half. The equilibrium represents the 50% mark between a range high and a range low. It is most often plotted with a fibonacci tool.
Fair Pricing Model: This is a hypothesis postulating that "big money" (a.k.a. "market movers", "institutional investors", etc.) seeks to buy in the discount area of any given price range, and sell in the premium area of that same range. See DR and IDR for examples of possible techniques to help identify and define the price range to apply to this model.
Non-discretionary Levels: This is essentially a fancy way of saying that the levels drawn by this indicator are strictly rules-based, and will always behave in the following manner:
1. For a given trading session, once the levels are drawn, they will remain constant throughout the rest of the trading session, no matter what price does afterwards.
2. The levels drawn will be drawn using the same rules every single day, without human bias or discretion.
Williams Fractals: This fractal pattern is based upon a specific candlestick pattern sequence. For a bullish Williams fractal, you will see X number of falling candles, followed by X number of rising candles. The candle at the fulcrum (bottom or top of the fractal structure) is where the fractal will print. a bearish fractal will be the inverse of this pattern. Note that this is a lagging indicator as it takes X candles after the fulcrum candle for the fractal pattern to complete. In most common cases, the value of X is 2 (2 falling candles, the fulcrum candle, and 2 rising candles) for a total of 5 candles to complete the fractal pattern. You can find more information in this article, which describes this type of fractal: www.investopedia.com
Fractal Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution: The Wyckoff Method is used by investors and traders to determine market trends, select investments, and time the placement of trades. It can help them identify the times at which big players are accumulating (or distributing) positions in a security. Fractal Wyckoff accumulation/distribution refers to watching the process occur on a lower timeframe, from a higher timeframe. For more information on the Wycoff Theory, you can see this article: www.investopedia.com
Now that we've covered some terms and definitions, let's cover the 4 major components included in this indicator.
ICT NY Midnight/NY Open (08:30 NY time):
The first piece of the indicator being displayed here is the ICT midnight and 8:30am NY price lines. These lines can be used as non-discretionary levels, or as intra-day premium/discount as part of a fair-pricing model.
DR/IDR:
Initially developed by TheMas7er, DR stands for defining range, and it highlights a range during high volume periods of the day that can act as non-discretionary levels, with very high historical accuracy.
Williams Fractals
Williams Fractals denote fractal market structure, and can be used to mechanically create ranges and view potential liquidity pools in a similar manner to using pivot points.
Triple M:
This tool highlights wicks that represent fractal Wyckoff accumulation and distribution. This pattern can be used an a potential entry trigger when paired with other confluences.
And now that we've covered the core concepts/definitions and an overview of each major component of this indicator, it's time to bring everything together by giving an example of how these tools can be used to define a strategy.
Before NYSE open, turn on the price lines to get a sense of whether price is in the premium or discount of the daily fair-pricing model.
Once NYSE market opens, wait for DR/IDR to establish and break its range.
If the bias from DR/IDR aligns with the fair pricing model from the ICT price lines, you could look for a fractal Wyckoff entry during a retracement.
Disclaimer: This strategy is provided purely as an example and has not been tested by us. Please do your own due diligence by thoroughly backtesting and forward-testing on a demo account befor using any proposed strategy live market with real money!

NDOG & Dynamic Event Horizon° (Experimental)The ICT concept of New Day Opening Gaps (NDOG) is simply an imbalance that may manifest at Daily Opening time. This gap in price is formed by the Close at 5PM EST and the open at 6PM EST.
According to ICT's studies, this gap in price holds a lot of significance when it comes to price action, acting as a magnet or a point of reference during the day (and following days/weeks).
This script applies the supporting concepts of New Week Opening Gaps (Event Horizon and OTE areas) to NDOGs, mimicking my NWOG & Dynamic Event Horizon° indicator. Equally to the latter, this script dynamically selects the most relevant NDOG Dealing Range and plots their EH and OTE levels automatically.
// Please refer to the NWOG indicator post linked above for more information about these concepts
Available Alerts:
– Cross Below Event Horizon
– Cross Above Event Horizon
– New NDOG Range Established
Important Remarks:
– This is purely an experiment, and has not been taught by ICT publicly in any way. Treat this material accordingly.
– Note that although these work on all timeframes, the lower in resolution one goes, the less gaps will be available due to data availability.
– This indicator works on charts that have the NDOG already present in chart (i.e. no crypto assets, unless one looks at CME crypto futures such as BTC1! and ETH1! ).
– The dollar index's NDOGs have a slightly different timestamp, however this has been taken care of and will allow to be plotted ONLY for the TVC:DXY ticker.

Contrarian Market Structure BreakMarket Structure Break application was inspired and adapted from Market Structure Oscillator indicator developed by Lux Algo. So much credit to their work.
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Indicator Description: Contrarian Market Structure BreakOverview
The "Contrarian Market Structure Break" indicator is a versatile tool tailored for traders seeking to identify potential reversal opportunities by analyzing market structure across multiple timeframes. Built on Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT), this indicator detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) patterns across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term swings, plotting them with customizable lines and labels. It generates contrarian buy and sell signals when price breaks key swing levels, with a unique "Blue Dot Tracker" to monitor consecutive buy signals for trend confirmation. Optimized for the daily timeframe, this indicator is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing, making it ideal for traders of forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
The indicator combines three key components to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics: Multi-Timeframe Market Structure Analysis: It identifies swing highs and lows across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term periods, plotting BOS (continuation) and CHoCH (reversal) events with customizable line styles and labels.
Contrarian Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are triggered when the price crosses below swing lows (buy) or above swing highs (sell), indicating potential reversals in overextended markets.
Blue Dot Tracker: A unique feature that counts consecutive buy signals ("blue dots") and highlights a "Hold Investment" state with a yellow background when three or more buy signals occur, suggesting a potential trend continuation.
Signals are visualized as small circles below (buy) or above (sell) price bars, and a table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and recommended action (Hold or Flip Investment), enhancing decision-making clarity.
Mathematical Concepts Swing Detection: The indicator identifies swing highs and lows by comparing price patterns over three bars, ensuring robust detection of pivot points. A swing high occurs when the middle bar’s high is higher than the surrounding bars, and a swing low occurs when the middle bar’s low is lower.
Market Structure Logic: BOS is detected when the price breaks a prior swing high (bullish) or low (bearish) in the direction of the current trend, while CHoCH signals a potential reversal when the price breaks a swing level against the trend. These are calculated across three timeframes for a multi-dimensional perspective.
Blue Dot Tracker: This feature counts consecutive buy signals and tracks the entry price. If three or more buy signals occur without a sell signal, the indicator enters a "Hold Investment" state, marked by a yellow background, until the price exceeds the entry price or a sell signal occurs.
Entry and Exit Rules Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price crosses below a swing low on either the intermediate-term or long-term timeframe, suggesting an oversold condition and potential reversal upward. Short-term signals can be enabled but are disabled by default to reduce noise.
Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price crosses above a swing high on either the intermediate-term or long-term timeframe, indicating an overbought condition and potential reversal downward.
Blue Dot Tracker Logic: After a buy signal, the indicator increments a blue dot counter and records the entry price. If three or more consecutive buy signals occur (blueDotCount ≥ 3), the indicator enters a "Hold Investment" state, highlighted with a yellow background, suggesting a potential trend continuation. The "Hold Investment" state ends when the price exceeds the entry price or a sell signal occurs, resetting the counter.
Exit Rules: Traders can exit buy positions when a sell signal appears, the price exceeds the entry price during a "Hold Investment" state, or based on additional confirmation from BOS/CHoCH patterns or other technical analysis tools. Always use proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it effectively captures significant reversal and continuation patterns in trending or ranging markets. It can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with careful testing of settings, particularly enabling/disabling short-term structure analysis to suit market conditions. Backtesting is recommended to optimize performance for your chosen asset and timeframe.
Customization Options Market Structure Display: Toggle short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term structures on or off, with customizable line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) and colors for bullish and bearish breaks.
Labels: Enable or disable BOS/CHoCH labels for each timeframe to reduce chart clutter.
Signal Visibility: Hide buy/sell signals if desired for a cleaner chart.
Blue Dot Tracker: Monitor the blue dot count and action (Hold or Flip Investment) via the table display, which is fully customizable in terms of position and appearance.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Contrarian Market Structure Break" indicator offers a robust framework for identifying high-probability reversal and continuation setups using ICT principles. Its multi-timeframe analysis, clear signal visualization, and innovative Blue Dot Tracker provide traders with actionable insights into market dynamics. Whether you're a swing trader or a day trader, this indicator’s flexibility and intuitive design make it a valuable addition to your trading arsenal.

EdgeXplorer - Phantom FlowPhantom Flow by EdgeXplorer
Phantom Flow is a high-precision, visual market structure toolkit inspired by core ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts — including Order Blocks (OBs), Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Market Structure Shifts (MSS), Liquidity Zones, Killzones, and Balance Price Ranges (BPRs). Designed for real-time clarity and SMC-aligned trading, this tool enhances raw ICT theory with practical execution features: extended zone logic, session filters, and pivot-sensitive rendering.
Whether you’re swing trading on HTF or scalping intraday moves in New York or London, Phantom Flow gives you a clean, structured lens through which to interpret price behavior — without clutter or noise.
⸻
🔍 What Does Phantom Flow Do?
This indicator maps out multiple price action phenomena in one system. It detects and plots:
• Order Blocks (OBs) — potential institutional footprints
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — inefficiencies or imbalance zones
• Market Structure Shifts (MSS) — directional break points
• Liquidity Zones — buy-side and sell-side wick traps
• Balance Price Ranges (BPRs) — overlap zones from opposing FVGs
• Killzones (Sessions) — session-specific high-probability windows
Each element is toggleable, color-coded, and drawn directly on the chart, creating an intuitive visual environment to identify potential setups or confirm directional bias.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works – Technical Breakdown
1. Pivot Engine
Phantom Flow uses ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() with a configurable lookback period to establish reactive swing points for structure and liquidity logic.
2. Market Structure Shifts (MSS)
MSS logic checks for breaks above prior highs or below prior lows:
• If price closes above a previous pivot high, it flags a bullish MSS.
• If price closes below a previous pivot low, it flags a bearish MSS.
Each MSS is marked with a line and label at the structure break.
3. Order Blocks (OBs)
When a swing high or low is confirmed:
• A bearish OB is plotted between the open and high of the pivot bar.
• A bullish OB is plotted between the low and open of the pivot bar.
OB zones are drawn as transparent boxes that project forward several candles.
4. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Imbalance zones are defined when:
• A bullish FVG occurs if the current low is above the high from two candles ago, and price closed bullish.
• A bearish FVG occurs if the current high is below the low from two candles ago, and price closed bearish.
These are visualized as boxes with “FVG” labels.
5. Balance Price Ranges (BPRs)
If both a bullish and bearish FVG overlap in the same bar:
• A gray BPR box is plotted to represent the zone where those inefficiencies cancel or compress into a range.
Useful for tracking potential accumulation or consolidation.
6. Liquidity Zones (Wick Detection)
Using ATR-based wick thresholds:
• Buy-side Liquidity is identified where long lower wicks form beneath pivot lows.
• Sell-side Liquidity is identified where long upper wicks form above pivot highs.
These zones indicate where stop hunts or liquidity grabs may occur.
7. Killzones (Sessions)
Two sessions are visualized using background colors:
• New York Killzone (default: 7:00–9:00 EST) — yellow background
• London Killzone (default: 2:00–5:00 GMT) — blue background
Sessions are dynamically aligned with your chart’s timeframe and location.

🧠 How Traders Can Use Phantom Flow
Phantom Flow is not a signal generator. It’s a market narrative visualizer. Here’s how to integrate it into your approach:
• OB + FVG = Confluence: Look for fair value gaps forming around order blocks. These often suggest institutional entry zones.
• MSS + Liquidity = Trap Setup: Market structure shifts occurring after price taps liquidity often signal reversals or fakeouts.
• BPRs = Choke Points: If opposing FVGs compress, expect consolidation or expansion shortly after.
• Killzones = Context Windows: Use sessions to filter signal quality. For example, only trade FVGs during the London/NY overlap.
This tool works best when layered with:
• BOS/CHOCH detection
• Premium/Discount logic
• Risk-based execution models
⸻
🧪 Optional Use Case Ideas
• Intraday scalping based on NY/London killzone + MSS
• Swing trading off HTF OB + LQ zones
• Fade or trend-continuation setups using FVGs + BPR
• Combine with displacement candles or volume to validate zones

Switch Up MethodICT Opening Price Line
This indicator plots horizontal lines at the New York opening prices for three specific times of day:
00:00 (midnight), 10:00 AM, and 18:00 (6:00 PM).
These times are commonly referenced in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading concepts to identify important market levels.
Key Features
* Allows the user to enable or disable plotting for each of the three times.
* Option to prevent showing the previous day's line if today's opening time has not occurred yet.
* Lines can be labeled with custom color and formatting options.
* Users can choose line style (solid, dotted, dashed), width, and how far the line should extend into the future.
* Each opening time line has its own customizable color.
How It Works
At the selected New York times, the script captures the opening price and draws a horizontal line from that point forward based on the user-defined number of bars.
Labels appear at the right end of each line if enabled.
The lines automatically reset each day and only display once the target time has occurred.
