Noon Curve Box with Quadrants & 1st FVGOverview 📜
The Noon Curve Box with Quadrants & 1st FVG is a comprehensive analysis tool built for intraday traders. It automates the process of identifying and visualizing key time-based concepts popularized by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and other price action methodologies.
While the concepts themselves are public, this script's value lies in its unique automation and clear presentation. It saves you the manual effort of marking session ranges, quadrants, and searching for critical imbalances every single day, allowing you to focus purely on execution.
Underlying Concepts Explained 🧠
This script is built on a few core price action principles:
Time-Based Profiling: The idea that different times of the trading day have different characteristics. The script visually separates the main session into 2-hour quadrants to help you track momentum shifts.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): An FVG is a three-bar pattern that indicates a price imbalance or inefficiency. It's a foundational concept in many institutional trading methods.
A Bullish FVG (or BISI) forms when there is a gap between the first candle's high and the third candle's low:
Candle 1 HighCandle 3 High
"Silver Bullet" Time Windows: This indicator specifically targets the first FVG formed during the high-impact AM session (9:30-10:00 NY Time) and a corresponding PM session (13:30-14:00 NY Time), as these are often considered high-probability reversal or continuation zones.
Key Features & How It Works ✨
Automated Session Box: The script automatically draws a box around the high and low of your specified trading session (default is 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM New York time). This provides an instant view of the day's operating range.
Dynamic Quadrant Analysis: The session is automatically divided into 2-hour quadrants. Each box is colored based on its internal momentum (close vs. open), providing an at-a-glance summary of buying or selling pressure throughout the day.
Precision FVG Detection:
The script's core logic scans for the very first FVG within the AM (9:30-10:00) and PM (13:30-14:00) windows.
It identifies the exact 3-bar pattern and immediately draws a box marking the imbalance zone. Once the first FVG is found for a window, the script stops searching, ensuring your chart remains clean and focused on the most significant, initial imbalance.
The FVG boxes extend to the current bar, keeping these key levels of interest visible all day.
How to Use This Indicator 🎯
Context: Use the Session Box high and low as your primary intraday support and resistance levels.
Momentum: Use the Quadrant Box colors to gauge the flow of the market. A switch from red to green, for example, can signal a potential shift in control.
High-Probability Setups: The AM and PM First FVG boxes are your key points of interest. These imbalances often act as price magnets. Look for price to return to these zones to find potential entries, as they may act as support (bullish FVG) or resistance (bearish FVG).
Settings and Customization ⚙️
You have full control over all visual elements.
Session Control: Adjust the session time and timezone.
Visual Toggles: Enable or disable the Session Box, Quadrants, and AM/PM FVGs.
Color Customization: Match all elements to your personal chart theme.
History: Limit the number of historical FVG boxes displayed to keep your chart clean.

Fair Value Gap [Custom]📌 FVG Indicator – Smart Money Concepts Tool
This script is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and automatically detects and marks Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart, helping traders identify unbalanced price areas left behind by institutional moves.
🧠 What is an FVG?
An FVG (Fair Value Gap) is the price gap formed when the market moves rapidly, leaving behind a candle range where no trading occurred — typically between Candle 1’s high and Candle 3’s low (in a three-candle pattern). These gaps often signal imbalance, created during structural breaks or liquidity grabs, and may act as retrace zones or entry points.
🛠 Features:
✅ Automatically detects and highlights FVG zones (high-low range)
✅ Differentiates between open (unfilled) and closed (filled) FVGs
✅ Adjustable timeframe settings (works best on 1H–4H charts)
✅ Option to toggle display of filled FVGs
✅ Great for identifying pullback entries, continuation zones, or reversal setups
💡 Recommended Use:
After BOS/CHoCH, watch for price to return to the FVG for entry
Combine with Order Blocks and liquidity zones for higher accuracy
Best used as part of an ICT or SMC-based trading system
FVG Candle TYHE42This indicator highlights potential Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) directly on the relevant candle by changing its body color.
The logic is simple yet effective:
A bullish FVG is detected when the current low is above the high from two candles back.
A bearish FVG is detected when the current high is below the low from two candles back.
When such a gap is detected, the previous candle is colored (default: yellow) to provide a clean, unobtrusive visual cue. This helps traders quickly identify price imbalances without cluttering the chart with shapes or labels.
Users can customize the highlight color from the settings to better suit their chart theme or personal preference.
This indicator is especially useful for traders using Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, or other price imbalance-based strategies.
Macro+ ExtMacros+ (Time Sessions & Alerts)
Macros+ is a powerful and highly customizable tool designed to highlight specific time windows—often referred to as "macros"—directly on your chart. It is built for traders who operate on time-based strategies, such as those targeting specific liquidity periods like the ICT Silver Bullet or other institutional timeframes.
By visualizing these key sessions historically and in real-time, traders can better anticipate market volatility, identify potential trade setups, and maintain discipline. The script is clean, efficient, and built with flexibility in mind.
Key Features
This indicator goes beyond simple time boxes and includes several advanced features to fit your specific trading style:
1. Historical & Real-Time Display
The script is designed to plot all selected macro sessions across the entire historical data loaded on your chart, not just the current day. This allows for comprehensive backtesting and analysis of how price behaves during these specific time windows.
2. Fully Customizable Macro Sessions
You have full control over which time sessions you want to display. The indicator includes 14 pre-configured 20-minute sessions, which you can easily toggle on or off from the settings menu. This allows you to focus only on the timeframes that are relevant to your strategy.
3. Adjustable "Extended Macro" Time
Flexible Time Extension: Instead of a fixed session duration, you can now dynamically extend the start and end times of all macros.
Numerical Input: In the settings, under "Time Settings," you'll find an "Extend Minutes" input. This number lets you add minutes to both the beginning and the end of each session.
Example: A standard macro from 09:50 - 10:10 with an "Extend Minutes" value of 5 will be automatically adjusted to 09:45 - 10:15. Setting it to 0 will keep the default 20-minute sessions.
4. Multiple Display Styles
Adapt the indicator's appearance to your preference for a clean and readable chart. All styles are designed to span the full vertical height of the chart for maximum visibility.
Solid Line: Clear, solid vertical lines marking the start and end of a session.
Dashed Line: A more subtle, dashed-line alternative.
Dotted Line: The most subtle line style for a minimalist chart.
Background: Fills the entire session window with a semi-transparent color.
Outline: Draws a colored border around the session window without filling it.
5. Real-Time Alerts
Never miss the start of a key session again. You can enable an alert that will trigger once at the beginning of any active macro session. This is perfect for traders who may not be watching the charts constantly.
6. Timezone Correction
All times are calculated based on the timezone you select in the settings (default is "America/New_York"). This ensures the sessions are always plotted accurately according to the market you are trading (e.g., New York session times).
How to Use
Add to Chart: Add the "Macros+" indicator to your chart.
Open Settings:
General Settings: Choose your preferred Timezone, Display Style, and Color.
Active Macro Sessions: Check the boxes for the time sessions you wish to monitor.
Time Settings: Enter a value in Extend Minutes if you want to widen the time windows. A value of 5 will create 30-minute sessions.
Alert Settings: Enable the Alert On Macro Start option if you wish to receive alerts.
Create Alert: To activate the pop-up alert, click the clock icon on the TradingView right-hand panel, select "Macros+" in the "Condition" dropdown, choose "Sesi Makro Dimulai," and set it to trigger "Once Per Bar."
This tool was designed to be both powerful and user-friendly. I hope it becomes a valuable part of your trading toolkit. Happy trading!

Price Range Retrace statisticks [HERMAN]📈 Price Range Retrace Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders quantify how often price retraces to a selected equilibrium level (e.g., 50%) after sweeping the high/low of a defined time-based range.
It is especially useful for modeling sessions such as the London Opening Range (e.g., 02:00–03:00 NY time), checking if price sweeps that range in a subsequent window (e.g., 03:00–04:00), and returns to its 50% level.
✅ What does it do?
Lets you define multiple time ranges (e.g. London, NY Open, custom ranges).
Draws the range box for the selected session time.
Calculates and plots the retracement level (default 50%).
Checks if price sweeps the high/low of the range before retracing.
Tracks success rate, average distance, sample size and displays these stats in a table.
⚙️ Key Features:
Fully customizable time windows (range box time and retracement check time).
-Configurable retracement % (default 50% equilibrium).
-Optional sweep condition (only count retracements if price sweeps the high/low first).
-Clean, theme-adaptive stats table with success rates and averages.
-Supports two independent levels (e.g. London and NY sessions).
📊 Why use it?
This tool turns session-based setups into statistical models:
Backtest session strategies over many days.
Quantify edge with % success over time.
Validate trading ideas with data.
Use probabilities instead of gut feeling.
Example insight you can track:
“Between 3–4 AM NY time, price swept the high/low of the 2–3 AM London Opening Range and returned to its 50% equilibrium level in 64% of 234 sessions.”
📌 Ideal for:
ICT concepts (Opening Range, Sweep, Equilibrium Return).
Algo developers wanting probabilities.
Anyone who wants data-driven confirmation for session range mean-reversion.
Instructions:
1️⃣ Enable the desired Price Range (1 or 2).

5️⃣ Watch the box and retrace line plot on chart.
6️⃣ Review the success statistics in the table.
Rejection Blocks (RJB) and Liquidity Grabs (SFPs)- Milana TradesThis indicator highlights Rejection Blocks (RJB) and Liquidity Grabs (SFPs)—two advanced price action concepts used by professional traders, especially those following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies.
Rejection Block (RJB) is an advanced version of the traditional Order Block. It marks areas where price has been sharply rejected—often zones where smart money enters or exits positions. The logic is based on specific wick rejection criteria and candle structure, with mitigated RJBs marked or hidden automatically.
Liquidity Grab (SFP) detects key Swing Failure Patterns—where price takes out a previous high/low, grabs liquidity, and reverses. Optional volume validation is available for more accurate filtering, especially using LTF (lower timeframe) data.
Key Features:
Rejection Block (RJB)
1) Identifies both bullish and bearish rejection blocks.
2) Two logic types: “trapped wick” and “signal wick” configurations.
3) Auto-detection of mitigated RJBs and customizable visualization.
4)Adjustable color, transparency, box style, label text, and more.
5)Limit on max RJBs displayed to keep the chart clean.
Liquidity Grab (SFP)
1)Detects bullish and bearish SFPs (Swing Failure Patterns).
2)Optional volume validation with threshold control (based on LTF).
3)Dynamically adjusts lower timeframe resolution (auto/manual).
4)Visual confirmation lines, wick highlights, and labels.
5)SFP Dashboard table (optional) for LTF & validation display.
SFP Wick to RJB Zones
Converts confirmed SFPs into new RJB boxes.
Adds powerful confluence between rejection and liquidity.
🔔 Built-in Alerts
Alerts can be set up for both bullish and bearish Rejection Blocks, as well as confirmed SFPs.
Ideal for traders who want to be notified in real-time when price:
Forms a valid Rejection Block,
Prints a confirmed SFP (Swing Failure),
Enters or exits key liquidity zones.
Alerts are fully compatible with TradingView’s alert system.
⚙️ Settings Overview:

Set alerts to monitor setups without staring at charts 24/7.
Notes:
Compatible with any market (Forex, Crypto, Indices, Stocks).
Works on all timeframes.
Rapid HTF Price Action Dashboard V2.0Rapid HTF Price Action Dashboard V2.0
Overview
Stop the constant switching between timeframes. The Rapid HTF Price Action Dashboard is an all-in-one analysis suite designed to give you a crystal-clear view of the market's true intent by projecting critical higher-timeframe (HTF) data directly onto your trading chart.
This tool is more than just a pattern indicator; it's a complete dashboard that provides institutional-grade insights into price action. It helps you anticipate market moves by showing you where liquidity lies and how the bigger players are positioning themselves, all from the comfort of your lower-timeframe chart.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard: A clean, intuitive panel on the right of your chart displays the last two closed higher-timeframe candles (Candle A & B) and the live, developing one (Candle C).
Projected HTF Levels: Automatically draws and projects the previous HTF candle's high and low across your chart, acting as critical dynamic support and resistance levels.
Advanced Pattern Recognition: Identifies seven high-conviction candlestick patterns based on our proprietary filtering system, designed to eliminate noise and pinpoint only the most potent signals.
The Logic: Why Our Signals Are More Accurate
This indicator goes far beyond textbook definitions. We don't just look for shapes; we look for the story behind the price action. Each pattern is filtered through a rigorous set of conditions to ensure it represents true market conviction.
Hammers & Inverted Hammers: The Liquidity Grab
Classic Hammer/IH patterns are often misleading. Ours are different. We identify them as true liquidity grab signals, a core concept used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies.
A Hammer (H) is only valid if its low wick has pierced below the low of the previous candle (low < low ). This signifies a "stop hunt" where liquidity was absorbed below a key level before buyers aggressively pushed the price up.
An Inverted Hammer (IH) is only valid if its high wick has pierced above the high of the previous candle (high > high ). This shows liquidity was taken above a prior high before sellers took control and suppressed the price.
Harami: Filtering for Conviction
A classic Harami (an inside bar) can often just be a weak doji, signaling indecision. We filter this noise out.
Our Harami signal (BeH, BuH) requires the inside candle to have a meaningful body (defaulting to 30% of its own range, but fully customizable).
Furthermore, we have enhanced the logic to ensure the body of the inside candle is strictly contained within the body of the previous candle, making it a more precise and reliable signal of consolidation before a potential expansion.
Power Engulfing: A Signal of Overwhelming Force
We don't flag just any engulfing candle. We look for true displacement and momentum.
Our Power Engulfing pattern (BE, BuE) requires the body of the current candle to completely engulf the body of the previous candle.
Crucially, it must also close decisively beyond the entire range (including the wick) of the previous candle. A Bullish Engulfing must close above the previous high, and a Bearish Engulfing must close below the previous low. This confirms overwhelming force has entered the market and a reversal is highly probable.
How to Use the Dashboard
Set Your Reference Timeframe (refTF): Choose the higher timeframe you want to analyze (e.g., "240" for 4-Hour).
Identify the Narrative: Use the projected High/Low lines as your key support and resistance zones. A primary strategy is to wait for price to interact with these levels.
Anticipate the Draw on Liquidity: Watch as price approaches the previous HTF high or low. The dashboard helps you predict the market's next move. For example, if price is trading below the previous HTF low, you can anticipate a potential sweep of that level.
Confirm with a Signal: When a signal like a Hammer (H) appears on the dashboard after sweeping the previous low, it provides high-conviction confirmation that liquidity has been taken and price is ready to reverse.
NF Liquidity Sweep TrackerNF Liquidity Sweep Tracker
A tool for detecting stop hunts, reversals, and liquidity grabs
Built for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT-style trading
🔧 Full Features Usage -
🔹 1. Lookback Period
How it works: Automatically finds recent swing highs and lows using a configurable Swing High/Low Detection.
Forms the foundation for detecting liquidity levels. These are potential areas where price may reverse or sweep.
🔹 2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Detects price movements that break through swing points, often used by institutions to trigger stops.
Modes Available:
Wick-Based Sweeps: Price wicks above/below a swing but closes back inside.
Indicates a possible stop hunt or false breakout. Shown as Label: LS
Break- Retest Based Sweeps: Price breaks the swing level and continues or retests the zone.
Helps confirm continuation or retest setups. Shown as Labels: BO (Breakout), R (Retest)
All Types of Sweeps:
Enables both wick-based and breakout/retest sweeps.
🔹 3. Liquidity Zones (Boxes)
Draws boxes around swept areas to highlight liquidity zones.
Color-coded:
🟩 Green for bullish sweeps (below swing lows)
🟥 Red for bearish sweeps (above swing highs)
Usage: These zones act as temporary support/resistance and help traders spot: Reversals, Breakout continuations, Entries after retests.
🔹 5. Visual Labels
Helps quickly identify the type of liquidity event.
LS – Liquidity Sweep
Triggered when price wicks above/below a level and closes back inside.
BO – Breakout
Triggered when price cleanly breaks above/below a zone.
R – Retest
Triggered when price revisits a broken level.
Note: In a strong trending market, using a wick-based liquidity sweep (LS) strategy is often ineffective because the liquidity sweeps triggered by breakouts (BO) and breakdowns tend to dominate price action, making wick-based setups less reliable. However, liquidity sweeps ( LS ) tend to work very well when they occur near strong liquidity zones—areas where a significant concentration of buy or sell orders exist—because these zones act as natural support or resistance levels, increasing the likelihood of price reacting strongly and providing better trading opportunities.
📌 Usage Tip: These labels help with entry zone, trend confirmation, and trap detection.
🔹 6. Liquidity Lines
What it does: Draws horizontal lines from each swing high/low.
Usage: Acts as a visual reference for where liquidity lies. Great for planning take-profits, stop placements, or sniper entries.
🔹 8. Customization Options
Turn on/off:
Labels (LS, BO, R)
Liquidity lines
Breakout/retest zones
Set your own:
Line and box colors
Detection mode (Wick/Breakout/All)
Lookback period for swing points
🧠 Many Trader's use this concept to -
Identify high-probability reversal points (after sweeps)
Trade stop hunts and traps like institutions
Use zones for breakout and retest entries
Avoid false signals by waiting for sweeps and mitigations.
Devils MarkThe Devil’s Mark Indicator identifies bullish or bearish candlesticks with no opposing wick, plotting a horizontal line at the open/low (bullish) or open/high (bearish) price to mark the inefficiency.
This line highlights the level where price is expected to retrace to form the missing wick, serving as a visual cue.
The line is automatically removed from the chart once price crosses it, confirming the inefficiency has been rebalanced.
FVG fill with immediate rebalance [LuciTech]The "FVG fill with immediate rebalance AKA Golden Arrow" indicator is designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and detect immediate rebalances to highlight potential trading opportunities. It uses colored boxes to mark FVGs and triangular markers to signal bullish or bearish setups, helping traders pinpoint key price levels where imbalances occur and price reactions are likely.
Key Features
FVG Detection: Spots bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps based on price action, with customizable width settings.
Golden Arrow Signals: Displays triangular markers when price fills an FVG and immediately rebalances, indicating potential reversal or continuation zones.
Customizable Colors: Bullish FVGs appear in green and bearish FVGs in red by default, with options to tweak colors in the settings.
Time Filter: Allows signals to be restricted to a specific time window, highlighted by a background fill for clarity.
Alert System: Supports TradingView alerts for "Bullish Golden Arrow" and "Bearish Golden Arrow" signals to keep traders updated on setups.
How It Works
FVG Calculation: Analyzes gaps between candles to identify FVGs, with user-defined minimum width options (points, percentages, or ATR-based).
Signal Generation: Triggers a Golden Arrow signal when price fills the FVG and rebalances immediately, based on wick penetration and closing conditions.
Visual Aids:
Bullish FVGs are shown as green boxes, bearish FVGs as red boxes.
Upward triangles mark bullish signals, downward triangles mark bearish signals.
Time-Based Filtering: Optionally limits signals to specific hours, with a background fill showing the active period.

📚 Core Concepts
Smart Money vs Retail Money
Smart Money:
• Banks, hedge funds, large institutions
• Create market moves, don't follow them
• Exploit retail predictability
Retail Money:
• Individual traders
• Often act emotionally
• Place stop losses at predictable levels
Liquidity
Liquidity refers to areas where many orders are waiting:
• Stop losses above highs (shorts)
• Stop losses below lows (longs)
• Orders at round numbers
Key principle: Smart Money needs liquidity to enter/exit large positions. That's why they "hunt" stop losses first, then make the real move.

Steps:
1. Identify trend (Market Bias in table)
2. Find nearest liquidity zone aligned with trend
3. Wait for price to touch and bounce
4. Enter after confirming candle
5. Stop loss beyond liquidity zone
6. Take profit at next zone
Example:
• Trend: BULLISH
• Liquidity at 100,000 (support)
• Price drops to 99,950 (stop hunt)
• Returns above 100,000
• LONG with SL 99,900, TP 101,000
Strategy 2: "Kill Zone Hunter" (Intermediate)
Assumptions:
• Trade only in Kill Zones
• Exploit stop hunts
• Aggressive entries
Ideal timeframe: 15M - in Kill Zones on 15M you'll see exactly every Smart Money move!
Steps:
1. Wait for Kill Zone (red background)
2. Watch first 15-30 minutes
3. Look for stop hunt
4. Enter immediately after stop hunt
5. Tight stop loss (0.5 ATR)
6. Scale position with profit
Tips:
• London Open - often stop hunt down, then rise

• Midnight - position resets, false moves
Strategy 3: "Smart Money Follow" (Advanced)
Assumptions:
• Ignore minor signals
• Wait only for SM signals
• Larger positions, fewer trades
Steps:
1. Status must show HIGH RISK or WATCH LIQUIDITY
2. Wait for stop hunt series (minimum 2)

________________________________________
🛡️ Risk Management
Basic Rules
1. Never place stop loss at obvious level
o Add 5-10 pips buffer
o Avoid round numbers
o Check where Liquidity Pools are
2. Reduce position in Kill Zones
o 50% of normal size
o Or wait until they end
3. Avoid trading at HIGH RISK status
o Unless experienced
o Then reverse logic - look for traps
Stop Loss - Where to Place?
❌ Bad places:
• Exactly below/above candle
• At Inducement Levels
• At round numbers
• Where Liquidity Pools visible
✅ Good places:
• Beyond last stop hunt
• Behind Trapped Traders zone
• Minimum 1.5 ATR from entry
• Where SM would lose significantly
Position Sizing
Safe position formula:
Risk per trade = 1-2% of capital
Position size = Risk / (Stop Loss in pips × Pip value)
Modifiers:
• Kill Zone active: × 0.5
• After SM signal: × 1.5
• HIGH RISK status: × 0.3
• With trend: × 1.2

❓ FAQ
General Questions
Q: Indicator shows nothing, what to do? A: Check in settings:
1. Reduce "Min. Touches" to 1
2. Increase "Detection Sensitivity"
3. Enable "Debug Mode" to see statistics
4. Ensure proper timeframe (15M+)
5. On 15M sometimes wait a few candles for first signal
Tip for 15M: If you don't see signals on 15M, enable Debug Mode. If it shows Liq=0, reduce "Min. Touches" to 1 and increase "Liquidity Lookback" to 100.
Q: Too many signals, I'm lost A:
1. Increase requirements (min. touches, respects)
2. Disable some components
3. Trade only strongest signals (SM 🎯)
Q: Which timeframe is best? A:
• 15M - PERFECT FOR LEARNING! Many signals, shows all manipulations, great for beginners
• 30M - Good balance, less noise than 15M
• 1H - Medium-term trading, clear setups
• 4H - Fewer signals but bigger moves, for patient traders
• 1D - Only major levels, position trading
💡 For beginners: Start with 15M! That's where you'll see how the market really works - stop hunts, traps, false breakouts. Only after understanding the mechanics, move to higher timeframes.
Technical Questions
Q: What does "x15" mean at LIQ? A: Number of level touches. Higher = stronger level.
Q: Why are Kill Zones red? A: High risk periods - most manipulation.
Q: What does Debug Mode show? A: When "Show Debug Info" is enabled, a label appears above the last candle with:
• Liq=X - number of Liquidity Pools found
• Ind=X - number of Inducement Levels found
• HighLvl=X - number of highs stored in memory
• LowLvl=X - number of lows stored in memory
This helps understand why sometimes no signals appear (e.g., when Liq=0).
Trading Questions
Q: Can I use only this indicator? A: Yes, but better combined with:
• Trend analysis
• Support/resistance
• Volume
Q: Does it work on all markets? A: Best on liquid ones:
• ✅ Major Forex pairs
• ✅ Main indices
• ✅ BTC, ETH
• ⚠️ Less liquid altcoins
• ❌ Exotic pairs, small caps
Q: How to remove indicator from chart? A:
• Method 1: Click X next to indicator name
• Method 2: Right-click on name → "Remove"

Protected Pivots Points by RiotwolftradingProtected Pivots Points by Riotwolftrading
---
You have an advanced visual tool designed for traders who want to identify and manage key price levels with maximum precision.
This script detects protected pivots (significant highs and lows) and marks them with horizontal lines on the chart. These lines automatically extend for a fixed number of bars or until price invalidates the level with a closing break.
---
🚀 What makes this indicator special?
---
✅ Protected pivot detection:
The indicator identifies protected highs and lows using a fixed pivot strength
✅ Wick break detection (liquidity sweep visualization):
When a wick crosses the pivot level **without the candle closing beyond the level, the indicator automatically changes the line’s color and style.
👉 This immediately shows the trader that the level was tested but remains structurally valid.
✅ Highly customizable visuals:
* Choose whether to show color for protected highs, lows, or wick break levels.
* Set your own colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and line widths.
---
### 🌟 Why is wick break detection so valuable?
---
💡 Instant context on price action:
No need to manually check every candle to see if a level was barely tested. The indicator changes the line’s appearance automatically, so you can focus on decisions.
💡 Clear distinction between untouched levels and tested levels:
* A level with no wick test is pristine support/resistance.
* A level tested by a wick but not invalidated is still valid — but may have been swept for liquidity.
💡 Crucial for precision trading strategies:
This is particularly important for strategies that rely on:
✅ Liquidity sweeps / stop hunts.
✅ Reversals from tested zones.
✅ Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
✅ ICT concepts, breakers, Quasimodo, BOS/MSS.
The wick break visualization helps filter false breakouts and highlights areas where institutional players may have stepped in.
💡 Avoid premature exits or entries:**
The color/style change tells you a level was tested but not broken, so you avoid overreacting to wick activity.
---
### ⚡ Example use case**
Imagine a protected low line:
🔹 Price dips and its wick touches the level — the line changes color (e.g. violet solid line).
🔹 The level is still valid because the close didn’t break it.
🔹 This could signal a stop hunt or liquidity grab, with a possible reversal opportunity right at that level.
---
### 🧭 **Why most pivot indicators don’t offer this**
Most pivot indicators:
❌ Simply mark the level and remove it after a close break.
❌ Don’t distinguish between a wick test and a true break.
🌟 **This indicator does — giving traders an extra layer of market insight.**
---
### ⚠ **Disclaimer**
This indicator is a visual aid to help identify key levels and price reactions. It does **not** generate buy or sell signals and should be used alongside your trading analysis and strategy.

SMT Time Windows# SMT Time Windows
SMT Time Windows is a Pine Script v6 indicator by **Originalsauce1** that automates ICT-style Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between two correlated symbols. It detects bullish and bearish SMT divergences using swing highs/lows (pivot logic) across both instruments. Bullish SMT occurs when one symbol makes a higher low while the other forms a lower low; bearish SMT is when one symbol prints a higher high while the other records a lower high. These divergences highlight imbalances in correlated markets and can signal potential momentum shifts. SMT Time Windows plots clear labels for each divergence event and offers comprehensive filtering by custom time sessions.
## Key Features
* **Time Window Filters:** Define up to three custom time windows (e.g. 2:00–4:00 AM, 6:00–8:30 AM, 9:00–10:30 AM) with individual enable/disable toggles. Active windows can be highlighted on the chart with optional background shading for visual cueing.
* **Timezone Support:** User-selectable time zone ensures that time windows align correctly across different session schedules (global session alignment).
* **Adjustable Detection:** Set the pivot **length** (sensitivity of swing detection) and the signal **timeframe**. This pivot-based approach confirms valid swing highs/lows before marking divergences.
* **Clean SMT Labels:** The indicator plots “Bullish SMT” or “Bearish SMT” labels at the relevant pivots, clearly marking each divergence event. Label color and style are customizable, providing a clean visual cue of SMT signals.
* **Chart Highlights:** Optionally shade the chart background during active time windows, making it easy to see when the session filter is in effect.
* **Session Status Table:** An on-chart table shows which time windows are currently active (e.g. shows “Open”/“Closed” status). This real-time session table provides live feedback similar to other TradingView session trackers.
* **Comparison Symbol & Alerts:** Optionally overlay the comparison symbol on your chart. Built-in alerts notify you when bullish or bearish SMT divergences occur, allowing timely review.
## How It Works
SMT Time Windows checks for divergences between two positively correlated markets (for example, equity futures like S\&P 500 (ES) vs Nasdaq 100 (NQ), or FX pairs like US Dollar Index vs EUR/USD). When one instrument’s swing high/low is not confirmed by the other, it flags this as an SMT event. For instance, a **Bearish SMT** is identified when one symbol makes a higher high but the other fails to keep pace (prints a lower high); a **Bullish SMT** is when one symbol’s low is higher while the other’s low is lower. These divergences are interpreted as signs of uneven buying/selling pressure and can precede shifts in momentum.
The indicator is designed for use with correlated markets (e.g. ES/NQ, DXY/EURUSD, etc.) to enhance your market structure analysis. It is not a “set and forget” signal but a tool to spot potential imbalances. Use SMT Time Windows alongside your discretionary analysis and higher-timeframe context for best results.

1st FVGOverview
This indicator is specifically designed for intraday price action traders who focus on the NASDAQ opening range. Its primary function is to automatically identify, plot, and alert on the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms during the critical 30-minute window of the New York morning session, from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET.
The script intelligently ignores any gaps that rely on pre-market data, ensuring that the detected FVG is a true imbalance created by the initial volume and volatility of the regular trading session. This tool helps traders to quickly pinpoint a key area of interest right after the market opens.
Key Features
First FVG Detection: Pinpoints only the initial FVG of the session and ignores all subsequent ones for the day.
Specific Time Window: Operates strictly between 9:30 and 10:00 AM New York time.
Strict Formation Rule: To ensure accuracy, the entire 3-bar FVG pattern must form at or after the 9:30 AM candle. This prevents false signals from pre-market price action.
Visual Price Zones: Automatically draws a clean, colored box around the FVG, making the zone easy to see. The box can be extended to track future price interactions.
Customizable Display: Control how many historical FVGs to show on your chart and how far the zone extends to the right.
Built-in Alerts: Get real-time notifications the moment the first FVG is confirmed, so you never miss a potential setup.
How It Works
The indicator scans the price action candle by candle. Once the 9:30 AM ET session begins, it looks for the first valid 3-bar FVG pattern (also known as a price imbalance).
A Bullish FVG is identified when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods ago.
A Bearish FVG is identified when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods ago.
Once the first FVG for the day is detected and plotted, the script will remain dormant until the next trading day begins, keeping your chart clean and focused.
Settings
Number of FVG History: Controls how many of the most recent daily FVGs are displayed on the chart.
Extend Box To End: A checkbox to extend the FVG zone all the way to the right edge of the chart. This is useful for tracking how price interacts with the zone later in the day.
Manual Box Length: If the "Extend Box" option is unchecked, this input sets a fixed length for the box (in number of bars).
How to Set Up Alerts
Add the indicator to your chart.
Click the 'Alert' icon (alarm clock) in the TradingView toolbar.
In the 'Condition' dropdown menu, select "1st FVG".
A second dropdown will appear, which should be set to "Alert Function Call".
Choose your preferred notification options (e.g., pop-up, email, app notification).
Click 'Create'.

Simple Fractals with Wick Filter & BOSThis advanced fractal indicator combines traditional Williams Fractal analysis with sophisticated wick filtering and Break of Structure (BOS) detection to identify high-probability reversal points and structural breaks in price action.
🔍 How It Works
Fractal Detection: Uses the classic Williams Fractal methodology to identify swing highs and lows. A fractal high occurs when a candle's high is greater than N periods before and after it. Similarly, a fractal low occurs when a candle's low is lower than N periods on both sides.
Wick Filtering: Only displays fractals where the rejection wick meets a minimum threshold, ensuring the fractal represents genuine price rejection rather than minor fluctuations.
Break of Structure (BOS): Monitors when strong candles close beyond previous fractal levels within a specified lookback period, indicating potential trend changes or continuation patterns.
⚙️ Parameter Guide
Periods (Default: 7) - Controls fractal sensitivity
Wick Threshold (Default: 0.4 / 40%) - Minimum wick size relative to total candle range
BOS Lookback Bars (Default: 90) - How far back to monitor fractal levels for potential breaks
Strong Candle Body % (Default: 0.5 / 50%) - Minimum body size required to trigger BOS, Higher values reduce false signals but may miss some valid breaks
📊 Visual Elements
Colored Dots: Small circles mark validated fractals
Top Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default red) above bars
Bottom Wick Fractals: Customizable color (default green) below bars
BOS Lines: Dotted horizontal lines connecting fractal origin to break point
Green Lines: Bullish BOS (price closes above fractal high)
Red Lines: Bearish BOS (price closes below fractal low)
Faded Fractals (Optional): Shows all fractals that didn't meet wick requirements for comparison
🔔 Alerts
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
High fractal formation with sufficient wick
Low fractal formation with sufficient wick
AP Session Liquidity with EQH/EQL and Previous DayThis indicator plots key intraday session highs and lows, along with essential market structure levels, to help traders identify areas of interest, potential liquidity zones, and high-probability trade setups. It includes the Asia Session High and Low (typically 00:00–08:00 UTC), London Session High and Low (08:00–12:00 UTC), New York AM Session High and Low (12:00–15:00 UTC), and New York Lunch High and Low (15:00–17:00 UTC). Additionally, it displays the Previous Day’s High and Low for context on recent price action, as well as automatically detected Equal Highs and Lows based on configurable proximity settings to highlight potential liquidity pools or engineered price levels. These session levels are widely used by institutional traders and are critical for analyzing market behavior during time-based volatility windows. Traders can use this indicator to anticipate breakouts, fakeouts, and reversals around session boundaries—such as liquidity grabs at Asia highs/lows before the London or New York sessions—or to identify key consolidation and expansion zones. Equal Highs and Lows serve as magnets for price, offering insight into potential stop hunts or inducement zones. This tool is ideal for day traders, scalpers, and smart money concept practitioners, and includes full customization for session timings, color schemes, line styles, and alert conditions. Whether you're trading price action, ICT concepts, or supply and demand, this indicator provides a powerful framework for intraday analysis.
Power of Three FractalsIntroducing Power of Three Fractals—an advanced, all-in-one TradingView toolkit designed to bring higher timeframe context directly onto your primary chart. This isn't just another candle overlay; it's a sophisticated analytical suite built for the serious price action trader. Developed with the core principles of "smart money" concepts, this indicator helps you see the market in a new dimension.
Key Features:
Floating Candlestick Display:
Forget cluttered chart backgrounds. Power of Three Fractals displays your chosen higher timeframe candles as a clean, stylized series of candlesticks in a dedicated space on the right side of your chart, allowing you to analyze HTF structure without losing focus on live price action.
Intelligent Adaptive Timeframe:
This is a game-changer. If you set the indicator to show 4H candles but switch your main chart to the Daily, it won't produce an error. Instead, it automatically adapts, recognizing the invalid selection and seamlessly switching to display the next logical timeframe (e.g., Weekly candles). This provides a flawless analytical experience as you move through timeframes.
Precision High/Low Anchors:
Dotted Lines: Instantly see which lower timeframe (LTF) candle created the high and low of the current HTF candle. This is perfect for visualizing manipulation wicks and the true Power of Three delivery.
Solid Lines: Automatically identify the absolute highest high and lowest low across the entire displayed range of HTF candles. The script then draws a solid line back to the exact LTF candle that formed these critical points, defining your true trading range. This feature intelligently hides itself if the current candle is making the high/low to avoid unnecessary clutter.
Automated Liquidity Sweep Detection:
This powerful, built-in algorithm automatically identifies one of the most critical price action events: a liquidity sweep. When a newer HTF candle takes the low of the oldest displayed candle and then closes back above it, the indicator instantly alerts you.
It draws a dashed line from the initial low to the end of the range and places a bold 'x' marker below the specific candle that performed the sweep, giving you a clear, unmissable signal of this key market event.
Integrated HTF Countdown Timer:
Stay perfectly in sync with the market. A clean, floating timer in the bottom-right corner displays a live countdown to the close of your selected higher timeframe candle, complete with a header so you always know which timeframe you're tracking.
Fully Customizable Aesthetics:
Tailor the indicator to your personal chart theme. You have full control over the colors of bullish/bearish candles, wicks, and all connecting lines, allowing for a seamless visual integration.
Who Is This Indicator For?
The Power of Three Fractals indicator is built for the discerning trader who understands that context is key. It is ideal for:
Day Traders & Scalpers needing constant awareness of higher timeframe control.
Swing Traders looking to time entries based on HTF structure and LTF shifts.
Price Action & "Smart Money Concept" Traders who utilize concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and fractals.

SMT Divergence [Dova Lazarus]Title: SMT
Description:
The SMT (Smart Money Technique) indicator is designed to help traders identify potential divergences between correlated assets, a key concept used in smart money trading strategies. It compares price action across two or more instruments to reveal hidden strength or weakness that may not be visible on a single chart.
Key Features:
Custom asset selection: Compare your main chart with any other TradingView symbol (e.g., BTC/USD vs. ETH/USD).
Real-time SMT divergence detection: Highlights potential bullish or bearish divergences when one asset makes a higher high/lower low while the other does not.
Visual markers: Plots intuitive visual cues directly on the chart to signal divergence.
Configurable timeframes: Use on any timeframe for both intraday and swing trading setups.
How to Use:
Select your base symbol (e.g., BTCUSD) on the chart.
In the indicator settings, choose a comparison symbol (e.g., ETHUSD).
Look for divergence signals:
Bearish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a higher high, comparison symbol fails to make a higher high → possible sell signal.
Bullish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a lower low, comparison symbol fails to make a lower low → possible buy signal.
This tool is ideal for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts or anyone interested in identifying smart money manipulation and market inefficiencies.
