MojoPivots Breakout Signals [DonnieMojo]The MojoPivots Breakout Indicator is a precision-engineered tool designed for traders seeking high-probability breakout opportunities using dynamic pivot structures and real-time volume imbalances.
Built on DonnieMojo’s breakout framework, this indicator analyzes market structure via custom MR (Major Resistance) and MS (Major Support) levels, dynamically derived from intraday volume profiles and statistical price expansion. It intelligently tracks and visualizes potential breakout zones, key "line-in-the-sand" levels, and take-profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) based on volatility-adjusted zones.
🔑 Core Features:
Breakout Signal Detection
Identifies potential bullish and bearish breakouts when price breaches predefined resistance (MR1) or support (MS1) levels with confirmation from volume dynamics.
Smart Take-Profit System
Targets are automatically mapped to MR2–MR4 and MS2–MS4, offering structured TP zones based on standard deviation thresholds.
Delta Zone Visuals
Color-coded fills display real-time buyer/seller dominance in each zone using an imbalance-weighted volume model.
VPOC "Sand Line"
The Volume Point of Control is plotted to show the session's key battle line for trend continuation or rejection.
Statistical Performance Panel
Live breakout stats with hit-rate bars (TP1/TP2/TP3) help you evaluate performance and adjust trade management.
🧪 Usage Tips:
Timeframe Sync: The default detection logic is based on 15-minute candles, but pivot zones are calculated from higher timeframes (2H by default). Adjust these in the settings to suit your strategy.
Entry Trigger: Wait for price to close below MS1 or above MR1 and breach it on the next bar to confirm a breakout signal.
TP Scaling: Use TP1 for conservative exits or scale out progressively at TP2 and TP3 for extended moves.
Volume Confirmation: Delta zone fills (green/red) help validate whether breakout levels are supported by buyer/seller strength — fade low-delta signals with caution.
Combine with Trend Filters: Enhance results by using MojoPivots alongside trend indicators like EMAs, ADX, or macro S/R.

Logistic Regression ICT FVG🚀 OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Logistic Regression Fair Value Gap (FVG) System — a next-gen trading tool that blends precision gap detection with machine learning intelligence.
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this one evolves with each bar of price action, scoring and filtering gaps based on real market behavior.
🔧 CORE FEATURES
✨ Smart Gap Detection
Automatically identifies bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps using volatility-aware candle logic.
📊 Probability-Based Filtering
Uses logistic regression to assign each gap a confidence score (0 to 1), showing only high-probability setups.
🔁 Real-Time Retest Tracking
Continuously watches how price interacts with each gap to determine if it deserves respect.
📈 Multi-Factor Assessment
Evaluates RSI, MACD, and body size at gap formation to build a full context snapshot.
🧠 Self-Learning Engine
The logistic regression model updates on each bar using gradient descent, refining its predictions over time.
📢 Built-In Alerts
Get instant alerts when a gap forms, gets retested, or breaks.
🎨 Custom Display Options
Control the color of bullish/bearish zones, and toggle on/off probability labels for cleaner charts.
🚩 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn’t just another box-drawing indicator.
While others mark every imbalance, this system thinks before it draws — using statistical modeling to filter out noise and prioritize high-impact zones.
By learning from how price behaves around gaps (not just how they form), it helps you trade only what matters — not what clutters.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1️⃣ Detection
FVGs are identified using ATR-based thresholds and sharp wick imbalances.
2️⃣ Behavior Monitoring
Every gap is tracked — and if respected enough times, it becomes part of the elite training set.
3️⃣ Context Capture
Each new FVG logs RSI, MACD, and body size to provide a feature-rich context for prediction.
4️⃣ Prediction (Logistic Regression)
The model predicts how likely the gap is to be respected and assigns it a probability score.
5️⃣ Classification & Alerts
Gaps above the threshold are plotted with score labels, and alerts trigger for entry/respect/break.
⚙️ CONFIGURATION PANEL
🔧 System Inputs
• Max Retests – How many times a gap must be respected to train the model
• Prediction Threshold – Minimum score to show a gap on the chart
• Learning Rate – Controls how fast the model adapts (default: 0.009)
• Max FVG Lifetime – Expiration duration for unused gaps
• Show Historic Gaps – Show/hide expired or invalidated gaps
🎨 Visual Options
• Bullish/Bearish Colors – Set gap colors to fit your chart style
• Confidence Labels – Show probability scores next to FVGs
• Alert Toggles – Enable alerts for:
– New FVG detected
– FVG respected (entry)
– FVG invalidated (break)
💡 WHY LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Traditional FVG tools rely on candle shapes.
This system relies on probability — by training on RSI, MACD, and price behavior, it predicts whether a gap will act as a true liquidity zone.
Logistic regression lets the system continuously adapt using new data, making it more accurate the longer it runs.
That means smarter signals, fewer false positives, and a clearer view of where real opportunities lie.
TJR SEEK AND DESTROYTJR SEEK AND DESTROY – Intraday ICT Trading Tool
Built for day traders, TJR SEEK AND DESTROY combines Smart Money concepts like order blocks, fair value gaps, and liquidity sweeps with structure breaks and daily bias to pinpoint high-probability trades during US market hours (9:30–16:00). Ideal for scalping or intraday strategies on stocks, futures, or forex.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike standalone ICT indicators, this script integrates:
Order Blocks with volume and range filters for precise support/resistance zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to spot pre-market price imbalances.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Liquidity Sweeps for trend and reversal signals.
A 1H MA-based Bias to align trades with the day’s direction.
BUY/SELL Labels triggered only when bias, BOS, and sweeps align, reducing noise.
How Does It Work?
Order Blocks: Marks zones with high volume (>1.5x 20-period SMA) and low range (<0.5x ATR20) as teal boxes—potential reversal points.
Fair Value Gap: Compares the prior day’s close to the current open (pre- or post-9:30), shown as a purple line and label (e.g., "FVG: 0.005").
Pivot Point: Calculates (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3 from the prior day, plotted as an orange line for equilibrium.
Break of Structure: Detects crossovers of 5-bar highs/lows (gray lines), marked with red triangles.
Liquidity Sweeps: Tracks breaches of the prior day’s high/low (yellow lines), marked with yellow triangles.
Daily Bias: Uses 1H close vs. 20-period MA (blue line) for bullish (green background), bearish (red), or neutral (gray) context.
Signals: BUY (green label) when bias is bullish, price breaks up, and sweeps the prior high; SELL (red label) when bias is bearish, price breaks down, and sweeps the prior low.
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to 1M–15M charts for US session trading (9:30–16:00 EST).
Trading:
Wait for a BUY label after a yellow sweep triangle above the prior day’s high in a green (bullish) background.
Wait for a SELL label after a yellow sweep triangle below the prior day’s low in a red (bearish) background.
Use order blocks (teal boxes) as support/resistance for stop-loss or take-profit.
Markets: Best for SPY, ES futures, or forex pairs with US session volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Order Blocks: High-volume, low-range bars suggest institutional activity.
FVG: Gaps between close and open indicate imbalance to be filled.
BOS & Sweeps: Price breaking key levels signals momentum or stop-hunting.
Bias: 1H MA filters trades by broader trend.
Chart Setup
Displays order blocks (teal boxes), pivot (orange), open (purple), bias (colored background), BOS/sweeps (triangles), and signals (labels). Keep other indicators off for clarity.
Quantum Liquidity Fractal Dynamics (QLFD) v2.1The Quantum Liquidity Fractal Dynamics (QLFD) v2.1 is an advanced multi-dimensional market analysis too l engineered for professional traders seeking to identify high-probability liquidity-driven reversals. Built upon a proprietary Fractal-Liquidity Convergence Model (FLCM), QLFD v2.1 leverages quantum-phase liquidity oscillations and institutional absorption mapping to dynamically assess order flow efficiency within multi-timeframe market structures.
Core Algorithmic Methodology
QLFD v2.1 integrates a Hybridized Recursive Liquidity Matrix (HRLM) with High-Frequency Adaptive EMA Displacement (HFAED) to model non-linear liquidity density clusters. This proprietary framework is further reinforced by a Multi-Layered RSI Vorticity Filter (MLRVF), enhancing the signal integrity by filtering out stochastic noise anomalies.
The EMA-200 Rejection Dynamics, combined with the Vortex RSI Momentum Refraction Index (VRMRI), allow the system to isolate institutional footprint imbalances. By capturing transient liquidity voids and microstructure inefficiencies, QLFD v2.1 enables traders to position themselves ahead of high-probability liquidity sweeps.
Signal Efficiency & Institutional Calibration
While QLFD v2.1 exhibits an exceptionally high accuracy rate in identifying potential reversal vectors, it is imperative for traders to exercise institutional-grade signal filtration. The indicator autonomously detects Phase-Induced False Signal Clusters (PIFSCs), yet discretion remains paramount in avoiding transient liquidity mirages—a common occurrence in markets exhibiting hyper-fractalized liquidity dislocations.
For optimal performance, professional traders must apply a Multi-Stage Confirmation Protocol (MSCP), leveraging additional confluence layers such as:
Order Flow Delta Cohesion (OFDC)
Gamma-Weighted Imbalance Deviation (GWID)
Synthetic Volume Shockwave Ratio (SVSR)
These advanced methodologies ensure that traders engage only with high-probability fractal reversals, filtering out structurally unreliable signals induced by inter-market arbitrage distortions.
Final Thoughts
QLFD v2.1 is not designed for retail-grade signal chasing. It is an institutional-grade analytical framework tailored for professionals who understand the fractal complexity of modern liquidity landscapes. Mastering the art of discretionary filtration—by distinguishing true liquidity-driven reversals from algorithmically-induced decoy impulses—is the key to leveraging this system’s full potential.

ATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer V 1.0 — Pure Up/DownATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer V 1.0 — Pure Up/Down
Overview
Volume is a foundational tool for understanding the supply–demand balance. Classic charts show only total volume and don’t tell us what portion came from buying (Up) versus selling (Down). The ATAI Volume Pressure Analyzer fills that gap. Built on Pine Script v6, it scans a lower timeframe to estimate Up/Down volume for each host‑timeframe candle, and presents “volume pressure” in a compact HUD table that’s comparable across symbols and timeframes.
1) Architecture & Global Settings
Global Period (P, bars)
A single global input P defines the computation window. All measures—host‑TF volume moving averages and the half‑window segment sums—use this length. Default: 55.
Timeframe Handling
The core of the indicator is estimating Up/Down volume using lower‑timeframe data. You can set a custom lower timeframe, or rely on auto‑selection:
◉ Second charts → 1S
◉ Intraday → 1 minute
◉ Daily → 5 minutes
◉ Otherwise → 60 minutes
Lower TFs give more precise estimates but shorter history; higher TFs approximate buy/sell splits but provide longer history. As a rule of thumb, scan thin symbols at 5–15m, and liquid symbols at 1m.
2) Up/Down Volume & Derived Series
The script uses TradingView’s library function tvta.requestUpAndDownVolume(lowerTf) to obtain three values:
◉ Up volume (buyers)
◉ Down volume (sellers)
◉ Delta (Up − Down)
From these we define:
◉ TF_buy = |Up volume|
◉ TF_sell = |Down volume|
◉ TF_tot = TF_buy + TF_sell
◉ TF_delta = TF_buy − TF_sell
A positive TF_delta indicates buyer dominance; a negative value indicates selling pressure. To smooth noise, simple moving averages of TF_buy and TF_sell are computed over P and used as baselines.
3) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Half‑window segmentation
To track momentum shifts, the P‑bar window is split in half:
◉ C→B: the older half
◉ B→A: the newer half (toward the current bar)
For each half, the script sums buy, sell, and delta. Comparing the two halves reveals strengthening/weakening pressure. Example: if AtoB_delta < CtoB_delta, recent buying pressure has faded.
[ 4) HUD (Table) Display /i]
Colors & Appearance
Two main color inputs define the theme: a primary color and a negative color (used when Δ is negative). The panel background uses a translucent version of the primary color; borders use the solid primary color. Text defaults to the primary color and flips to the negative color when a block’s Δ is negative.
Layout
The HUD is a 4×5 table updated on the last bar of each candle:
◉ Row 1 (Meta): indicator name, P length, lower TF, host TF
◉ Row 2 (Host TF): current ↑Buy, ↓Sell, ΔDelta; plus Σ total and SMA(↑/↓)
◉ Row 3 (Segments): C→B and B→A blocks with ↑/↓/Δ
◉ Rows 4–5: reserved for advanced modules (Wings, α/β, OB/OS, Top
5) Advanced Modules
5.1 Wings
“Wings” visualize volume‑driven movement over C→B (left wing) and B→A (right wing) with top/bottom lines and a filled band. Slopes are ATR‑per‑bar normalized for cross‑symbol/TF comparability and converted to angles (degrees). Coloring mirrors HUD sign logic with a near‑zero threshold (default ~3°):
◉ Both lines rising → blue (bullish)
◉ Both falling → red (bearish)
◉ Mixed/near‑zero → gray
Left wing reflects the origin of the recent move; right wing reflects the current state.
5.2 α / β at Point B
We compute the oriented angle between the two wings at the midpoint B:
β is the bottom‑arc angle; α = 360° − β is the top‑arc angle.
◉ Large α (>180°) or small β (<180°) flags meaningful imbalance.
◉ Intuition: large α suggests potential selling pressure; small β implies fragile support. HUD cells highlight these conditions.
5.3 OB/OS Spike
OverBought/OverSold (OB/OS) labels appear when directional volume spikes align with a 7‑oscillator vote (RSI, Stoch, %R, CCI, MFI, DeMarker, StochRSI).
◉ OB label (red): unusually high sell volume + enough OB votes
◉ OS label (teal): unusually high buy volume + enough OS votes
Minimum votes and sync window are user‑configurable; dotted connectors can link labels to the candle wick.
5.4 Top3 Volume Peaks
Within the P window the script ranks the top three BUY peaks (B1–B3) and top three SELL peaks (S1–S3).
◉ B1 and S1 are drawn as horizontal resistance (at B1 High) and support (at S1 Low) zones with adjustable thickness (ticks/percent/ATR).
◉ The HUD dedicates six cells to show ↑/↓/Δ for each rank, and prints the exact High (B1) and Low (S1) inline in their cells.
6) Reading the HUD — A Quick Checklist
◉ Meta: Confirm P and both timeframes (host & lower).
◉ Host TF block: Compare current ↑/↓/Δ against their SMAs.
◉ Segments: Contrast C→B vs B→A deltas to gauge momentum change.
◉ Wings: Right‑wing color/angle = now; left wing = recent origin.
◉ α / β: Look for α > 180° or β < 180° as imbalance cues.
◉ OB/OS: Note labels, color (red/teal), and the vote count.
◉Top3: Keep B1 (resistance) and S1 (support) on your radar.
Use these together to sketch scenarios and invalidation levels; never rely on a single signal in isolation.
[ 7) Example Highlights (What the table conveys) /i]
◉ Row 1 shows the indicator name, the analysis length P (default 55), and both TFs used for computation and display.
◉ B1 / S1 blocks summarize each side’s peak within the window, with Δ indicating buyer/seller dominance at that peak and inline price (B1 High / S1 Low) for actionable levels.
◉ Angle cells for each wing report the top/bottom line angles vs. the horizontal, reflecting the directional posture.
◉ Ranks B2/B3 and S2/S3 extend context beyond the top peak on each side.
◉ α / β cells quantify the orientation gap at B; changes reflect shifting buyer/seller influence on trend strength.
Together these visuals often reveal whether the “wings” resemble a strong, upward‑tilted arm supported by buyer volume—but always corroborate with your broader toolkit
8) Practical Tips & Tuning
◉ Choose P by market structure. For daily charts, 34–89 bars often works well.
◉ Lower TF choice: Thin symbols → 5–15m; liquid symbols → 1m.
◉ Near‑zero angle: In noisy markets, consider 5–7° instead of 3°.
◉ OB/OS votes: Daily charts often work with 3–4 votes; lower TFs may prefer 4–5.
◉ Zone thickness: Tie B1/S1 zone thickness to ATR so it scales with volatility.
◉ Colors: Feel free to theme the primary/negative colors; keep Δ<0 mapped to the negative color for readability.
Combine with price action: Use this indicator alongside structure, trendlines, and other tools for stronger decisions.

Buy/Sell Volume VWAP with Liquidity and Price SensitivityBuy/Sell Volume VWAP with Liquidity & Price Sensitivity
A dual-VWAP overlay that separates buy-side vs sell-side pressure using lower-timeframe volume and recent price behavior. It shows two adaptive VWAP lines and a bias cloud to make trend and imbalance easy to see—no params fussing required.
What you’ll see
Buy VWAP (green) and Sell VWAP (red) plotted on the chart
Slope-aware coloring : brighter when that side is improving, darker when easing
Bias cloud: green when Buy > Sell, red when Sell > Buy
Optional last-value bubbles on the price scale for quick readouts
How it works
Looks inside each bar (lower timeframe, e.g., 1-second) to estimate buy vs sell pressure
Blends that pressure with recent price movement to keep the lines responsive but stable
Maintains separate VWAP tracks for buy-side and sell-side and resets daily or at a time you choose
How to use it
Trend & bias: When Buy VWAP stays above Sell VWAP (green cloud), buyers have the upper hand; the opposite (red cloud) favors sellers.
Conviction: A wider gap between the two lines often means a stronger imbalance.
Context: Use alongside structure (higher highs/lows, key levels) for confirmation—this is not a stand-alone signal.
Inputs
Timeframe: Lower-TF sampling (default 1S).
Reset Time: Defaults to 09:30 (session open); set to your market.
Appearance: Two-shade palettes for buy/sell, line width, last-value bubbles, and cloud opacity.
Tips
Works on most symbols and intraday timeframes; lower-TF sampling can be heavier on resources.
If the cloud flips frequently, consider viewing on a slightly higher chart timeframe for cleaner structure.

Advanced ICT Theory - A-ICT📊 Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT): The Institutional Manipulation Detector
Are you tired of being the liquidity? Stop chasing shadows and start tracking the architects of price movement.
This is not another lagging indicator. This is a complete framework for viewing the market through the lens of institutional traders. Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT) is an all-in-one, military-grade analysis engine designed to decode the complex language of "Smart Money." It automates the core tenets of Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, moving beyond simple patterns to build a dynamic, real-time narrative of market manipulation, liquidity engineering, and institutional order flow.
AIT provides a living blueprint of the market, identifying high-probability zones, tracking structural shifts, and scoring the quality of setups with a sophisticated, multi-factor algorithm. This is your X-ray into the market's true intentions.
🔬 THE CORE ENGINE: DECODING THE THEORY & FORMULAS
A-ICT is built upon a sophisticated, multi-layered logic system that interprets price action as a story of cause and effect. It does not guess; it confirms. Here is the foundational theory that drives the engine:
1. Market Structure: The Blueprint of Trend
The script first establishes a deep understanding of the market's skeleton through multi-level pivot analysis. It uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify significant swing points.
Internal Structure (iBOS): Minor swings that show the short-term order flow. A break of internal structure is the first whisper of a potential shift.
External Structure (eBOS): Major swing points that define the primary trend. A confirmed break of external structure is a powerful statement of trend continuation. AIT validates this with optional Volume Confirmation (volume > volumeSMA * 1.2) and Candle Confirmation to ensure the break is driven by institutional force, not just a random spike.
Change of Character (CHoCH): This is the earthquake. A CHoCH occurs when a confirmed eBOS happens against the prevailing trend (e.g., a bearish eBOS in a clear uptrend). A-ICT flags this immediately, as it is the strongest signal that the primary trend is under threat of reversal.
2. Liquidity Engineering: The Fuel of the Market
Institutions don't buy into strength; they buy into weakness. They need liquidity. A-ICT maps these liquidity pools with forensic precision:
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL): Using ta.highest and ta.lowest, AIT identifies recent highs and lows where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity) are resting. These are institutional targets.
Liquidity Sweeps: This is the "manipulation" part of the detector. AIT has a specific formula to detect a sweep: high > bsl and close < bsl . This signifies that institutions pushed price just high enough to trigger buy-stops before aggressively selling—a classic "stop hunt." This event dramatically increases the quality score of subsequent patterns.
3. The Element Lifecycle: From Potential to Power
This is the revolutionary heart of A-ICT. Zones are not static; they have a lifecycle. AIT tracks this with its dynamic classification engine.
Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): The script identifies a potential zone of interest based on a specific candle formation (a "displacement"). It is marked as "Pending" because its true nature is unknown. It is a question.
Phase 2: CLASSIFICATION: After the zone is created, AIT watches what happens next. The zone's identity is defined by its actions:
ORDER BLOCK (Blue): The highest-grade element. A zone is classified as an Order Block if it directly causes a Break of Structure (BOS) . This is the footprint of institutions entering the market with enough force to validate the new trend direction.
TRAP ZONE (Orange): A zone is classified as a Trap Zone if it is directly involved in a Liquidity Sweep . This indicates the zone was used to engineer liquidity, setting a "trap" for retail traders before a reversal.
REVERSAL / S&R ZONE (Green): If a zone is not powerful enough to cause a BOS or a major sweep, but still serves as a pivot point, it's classified as a general support/resistance or reversal zone.
4. Market Inefficiencies: Gaps in the Matrix
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): AIT detects FVGs—a 3-bar pattern indicating an imbalance—with a strict formula: low > high (for a bullish FVG) and gapSize > atr14 * 0.5. This ensures only significant, volatile gaps are shown. An FVG co-located with an Order Block is a high-confluence setup.
5. Premium & Discount: The Law of Value
Institutions buy at wholesale (Discount) and sell at retail (Premium). AIT uses a pdLookback to define the current dealing range and divides it into three zones: Premium (sell zone), Discount (buy zone), and Equilibrium. An element's quality score is massively boosted if it aligns with this principle (e.g., a bullish Order Block in a Discount zone).
⚙️ THE CONTROL PANEL: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE INPUTS MENU
Every setting is a lever, allowing you to tune the AIT engine to your exact specifications. Master these to unlock the script's full potential.
🎯 A-ICT Detection Engine
Min Displacement Candles: Controls the sensitivity of element detection. How it works: It defines the number of subsequent candles that must be "inside" a large parent candle. Best practice: Use 2-3 for a balanced view on most timeframes. A higher number (4-5) will find only major, more significant zones, ideal for swing trading. A lower number (1) is highly sensitive, suitable for scalping.
Mitigation Method: Defines when a zone is considered "used up" or mitigated. How it works: Cross triggers as soon as price touches the zone's boundary. Close requires a candle to fully close beyond it. Best practice: Cross is more responsive for fast-moving markets. Close is more conservative and helps filter out fake-outs caused by wicks, making it safer for confirmations.
Min Element Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. How it works: It requires a detected zone to be at least this multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). Best practice: Keep this around 0.5. If you see too many tiny, irrelevant zones, increase this value to 0.8 or 1.0. If you feel the script is missing smaller but valid zones, decrease it to 0.3.
Age Threshold & Pending Timeout: These manage visual clutter. How they work: Age Threshold removes old, mitigated elements after a set number of bars. Pending Timeout removes a "Pending" element if it isn't classified within a certain window. Best practice: The default settings are optimized. If your chart feels cluttered, reduce the Age Threshold. If pending zones disappear too quickly, increase the Pending Timeout.
Min Quality Threshold: Your primary visual filter. How it works: It hides all elements (boxes, lines, labels) that do not meet this minimum quality score (0-100). Best practice: Start with the default 30. To see only A- or B-grade setups, increase this to 60 or 70 for an exceptionally clean, high-probability view.
🏗️ Market Structure
Lookbacks (Internal, External, Major): These define the sensitivity of the trend analysis. How they work: They set the number of bars to the left and right for pivot detection. Best practice: Use smaller values for Internal (e.g., 3) to see minor structure and larger values for External (e.g., 10-15) to map the main trend. For a macro, long-term view, increase the Major Swing Lookback.
Require Volume/Candle Confirmation: Toggles for quality control on BOS/CHoCH signals. Best practice: It is highly recommended to keep these enabled. Disabling them will result in more structure signals, but many will be false alarms. They are your filter against market noise.

📊 THE INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARDS: YOUR COMMAND CENTER
The dashboards synthesize all the complex analysis into a simple, actionable intelligence briefing.
Main Dashboard (Bottom Right)
ICT Metrics & Breakdown: This is your statistical overview. Total Elements shows how much structure the script is tracking. High Quality instantly tells you if there are any A/B grade setups nearby. Unmitigated vs. Mitigated shows the balance of fresh opportunities versus resolved price action. The breakdown by Order Blocks, Trap Zones, etc., gives you a quick read on the market's recent character.
Structure & Market Context: This is your core bias. Order Flow tells you the current script-determined trend. Last BOS shows you the most recent structural event. CHoCH Active is a critical warning. HTF Bias shows if you are aligned with the higher timeframe—the checkmark (✓) for alignment is one of the most important confluence factors.
Smart Money Flow: A volume-based sentiment gauge. Net Flow shows the raw buying vs. selling pressure, while the Bias provides an interpretation (e.g., "STRONG BULLISH FLOW").
Key Guide (Large Dashboard only): A built-in legend so you never have to guess. It defines every pattern, structure type, and special level visually.
📖 Narrative Dashboard (Bottom Left)
This is the "story" of the market, updated in real-time. It's designed to build your trading thesis.
Recent Elements Table: A live list of the most recent, high-quality setups. It displays the Type , its Narrative Role (e.g., "Bullish OB caused BOS"), its raw Quality percentage, and its final Trade Score grade. This is your at-a-glance opportunity scanner.
Market Narrative Section: This is the soul of A-ICT. It combines all data points into a human-readable story:
📍 Current Phase: Tells you if you are in a high-volatility Killzone or a consolidation phase like the Asian Range.
🎯 Bias & Alignment: Your primary direction, with a clear indicator of HTF alignment or conflict.
🔗 Events: A causal sequence of recent events, like "💧 Sell-side liquidity swept →
📊 Bullish BOS → 🎯 Active Order Block".
🎯 Next Expectation: The script's logical conclusion. It provides a specific, forward-looking hypothesis, such as "📉 Pullback expected to bullish OB at 1.2345 before continuation up."
🎨 READING THE BATTLEFIELD: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Every color and line is a piece of information. Learn to read them together to see the full picture.
The Core Zones (Boxes):
Blue Box (Order Block): Highest probability zone for trend continuation. Look for entries here.
Orange Box (Trap Zone): A manipulation footprint. Expect a potential reversal after price interacts with this zone.
Green Box (Reversal/S&R): A standard pivot area. A good reference point but requires more confluence.
Purple Box (FVG): A market imbalance. Acts as a magnet for price. An FVG inside an Order Block is an A+ confluence.
The Structural Lines:
Green/Red Line (eBOS): Confirms the trend direction. A break above the green line is bullish; a break below the red line is bearish.
Thick Orange Line (CHoCH): WARNING. The previous trend is now in question. The market character has changed.
Blue/Red Lines (BSL/SSL): Liquidity targets. Expect price to gravitate towards these lines. A dotted line with a checkmark (✓) means the liquidity has been "swept" or "purged."
How to Synthesize: The magic is in the confluence. A perfect setup might look like this: Price sweeps below a red SSL line , enters a green Discount Zone during the NY Killzone , and forms a blue Order Block which then causes a green eBOS .

A-ICT was forged from the frustration of using lagging indicators in a market that is forward-looking. Traditional tools are reactive; they tell you what happened. The vision for A-ICT was to create a proactive engine that could anticipate institutional behavior by understanding their objectives: liquidity and efficiency. The development process was centered on creating a "lifecycle" for price patterns—the idea that a zone's true meaning is only revealed by its consequence. This led to the post-breakout classification system and the narrative-building engine. It's designed not just to show you patterns, but to tell you their story.
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER & BEST PRACTICES
Advanced ICT Theory (A-ICT) is a professional-grade analytical tool and does not provide financial advice or direct buy/sell signals. Its analysis is based on historical price action and probabilities. All forms of trading involve substantial risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this tool as part of a comprehensive trading plan that includes your own analysis and a robust risk management strategy. Do not trade based on this indicator alone.

Pristine Value Areas & MGIThe Pristine Value Areas indicator enables users to perform comprehensive technical analysis through the lens of the market profile in a fraction of the time! 🏆
A Market Profile is a charting technique devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), in the 1980's. He created it to gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and to analyze the auction process in financial markets. A market profile is used to analyze an auction using price, volume, and time to create a distribution-based view of trading activity. It organizes market data into a bell-curve-like structure, which reveals areas of value, balance, and imbalance.
💠 How is a Value Area Calculated?
A value area is a distribution of 68%-70% of the trading volume over a specific time interval, which represents one standard deviation above and below the point of control, which is the most highly traded level over that period.
The key reference points are as follows:
Value area low (VAL) - The lower boundary of a value area
Value area high (VAH) - The upper boundary of a value area
Point of Control (POC) - The price level at which the highest amount of a trading period's volume occurred
If we take the probability distribution of trading activity and flip it 90 degrees, the result is our Pristine Value Area!
Market Profile is our preferred method of technical analysis at Pristine Capital because it provides an objective and repeatable assessment of whether an asset is being accumulated or distributed by institutional investors. Market Profile levels work remarkably well for identifying areas of interest, because so many institutional trading algorithms have been programmed to use these levels since the 1980's!
The benefits of using Market Profile include better trade location, improved risk management, and enhanced market context. It helps traders differentiate between trending and consolidating markets, identify high-probability trade setups, and adjust their strategies based on whether the market is in balance (consolidation) or imbalance (trending). Unlike traditional indicators that rely on past price movements, Market Profile provides real-time insights into trader behavior, giving an edge to those who can interpret its nuances effectively.
Virgin Point of Control (VPOC) - A point of control from a previous time period that has not yet been revisited in subsequent periods. VPOCs are great for identifying prior supply or demand zones.
Below is a great example of price reversing lower after taking out an upside VPOC
💠 Are all POCs Created Equal?
If POCs are used to gauge supply & demand zones at key levels, then a POC with higher volume should be viewed as more significant than a POC that traded lower volume, right? We created Golden POCs as a tool to identify high volume POCs on all timeframes.
Golden POC (GPOC) - A POC that traded the highest volume compared to prior POCs (proprietary to Pristine Capital)
We calculate value areas for the following time intervals based on the user selected timeframe:
5 Minute and 15 Minute Timeframes -> Daily Value Area
The daily value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR session's trading activity. The "d" in the label references for VAHd, POCd and VALd is a visual cue that value area shown is daily.
1 Hour Timeframe -> Weekly Value Area
The weekly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR week's trading activity. The "w" in the label references for VAHw, POCw and VALw is a visual cue that value area shown is weekly.
1 Day Timeframe -> Monthly Value Area
The monthly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR month's trading activity. The "m" in the label references for VAHm, POCm and VALm is a visual cue that value area shown is monthly.
1 Week Timeframe -> Yearly Value Area
The yearly value area paints the distribution of the PRIOR year's trading activity. The "y" in the label references for VAHy, POCy and VALy is a visual cue that value area shown is yearly.
💠 What is a developing value area?
The developing value area provides insight into the upcoming value area while it is still forming! It appears when 80% of the way through the current value area. As the end of a trading period approaches, it can make sense to start trading off the developing value area. When the time period flips, the developing value area becomes the active value area!
💠 Value Areas Trading Setups
Two popular market profile concepts are the bullish and bearish 80% rules. The concept is that there is an 80% probability that the market will traverse the entire relevant value area.
Bullish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period below the value area low , and subsequently closes above it, the bullish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area green. One can trade for a move to the top of the value area, using a close below the value area low as a potential stop!
In the below example, HOOD triggered the bullish 80% rule after it reclaimed the monthly value area!
HOOD proceeded to rally through the monthly value area and beyond in subsequent trading sessions. Finding the first stocks to trigger the bullish 80% rule after a market correction is key for spotting the next market leaders!
Bearish 80% Rule - If a security opens a period above the value area high , and subsequently closes below it, the bearish 80% rule triggers, turning the value area red. One can trade for a move to the bottom of the value area, using a close above the value area high as a potential stop!
ES proceeded to follow through and test the value area low before trending below the weekly value area
Value Area Breakouts - When a security is inside of value, the auction is in balance. When it breaks out from a value area, it could be entering a period of price discovery. One can trade these breaks out of value with tight risk control by setting a stop inside the value area! These breakouts can be traded on all chart timeframes depending on the timeframe of the individual trader. Combining multiple timeframes can result in even more effective trading setups.
RBLX broke out from the monthly value area on 4/22/25👇
RBLX proceeded to rally +62.78% in 39 trading sessions following the monthly VAH breakout!
💠 Market Generated Information to Improve Your Situational Awareness!
In addition to the value areas, we've also included stat tables with useful market generated information. The stats displayed vary based on the timeframe the user has up on their screen. This incentivizes traders to check the chart on multiple timeframes before taking a trade!
Metrics Grouped By Use Case
Performance
▪ YTD α - YTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a year-to-date basis.
▪ MTD α - MTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a month-to-date basis.
▪ WTD α - WTD Alpha (α) measures the risk-adjusted, excess return of a security over its user defined benchmark, on a week-to-date basis.
▪ YTD %Δ - Year-to-date percent change in price
▪ MTD %Δ - Month-to-date percent change in price
▪ WTD %Δ - Week-to-date percent change in price
Volatility
▪ ATR % - The Average True Range (ATR) expressed as a percentage of an asset's price.
▪ Beta - Measures the price volatility of a security compared to the S&P 500 over the prior 5 years (since inception if 5 years of data is not available)
Risk Analysis
▪ LODx - Low-of-day extension - ATR % multiple from the low of day (measures how extended a stock is from its low of day)
▪ MAx - Moving average extension - ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average (measures how extended a security is from its moving average). Default moving average = 50D SMA
Why does MAx matter?
MAx measures the number of ATR % multiples a security is trading away from a key moving average. The default moving average length is 50 days.
MAx can be used to identify mean reversion trades . When a security trends strongly in one direction and moves significantly above or below its moving average, the price often tends to revert back toward the average.
Example, if the ATR % of the security is 5%, and the stock is trading 50% higher than the 50D SMA, the MAx would be 50%/5% = 10. A user might opt to take a countertrend trade when the MAx exceeds a predetermined level.
The MAx can also be useful when trading breakouts above or below the key moving average of your choosing. The lower the MAx, the tighter stop loss one can take if trading against that level.

💠 Trend Analysis
The Trend Analysis section consists of short-term and long-term stage analysis data as well as the value area timeframe and price in relation to the value area.
Stage Analysis
▪ ST ⇅ - Short-term stage analysis indicator
▪ LT ⇅ - Long-term stage analysis indicator
Short-term and long-term stage analysis data is provided in the two rightmost columns of each table. The columns are labeled ST ⇅ and LT ⇅.
Why is Stage Analysis important? Popularized by Stan Weinstein, stage analysis is a trend following system that classifies assets into four stages based on price-trend analysis.
The problem? The interpretation of stage analysis is highly subjective. Based on the methodology provided in Stan Weinstein’s books, five different traders could look at the same chart, and come to different conclusions as to which stage the security is in!
We solved for this by creating our own methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. This indicator automates that analysis, and produces short-term and long-term trend signals based on user-defined key moving averages. You won’t find this in any textbook or course, because it’s completely unique to the Pristine trading methodology.
Our indicator calculates a short-term trend signal using two moving averages; a fast moving average, and a slow moving average. We default to the 10D EMA as the fast moving average & the 20D SMA as the slow moving average. A trend signal is generated based on where price is currently trading with respect to the fast moving average and the slow moving average. We use the signal to guide shorter-term swing trades.
In general, we want to take long trades in stocks with strengthening trends, and short trades in stocks with weakening trends. The user is free to change the moving averages based on their own short-term timeframe. Every trader is unique!
The same process is applied to calculate the long-term trend signal. We default to the 50D SMA as our fast moving average, and the 200D SMA as the slow moving average for the LT ⇅ signal calculation, but users can change these to fit their own unique trading style.
What is Stage 1?
Stage 1 identifies stocks that transitioned from downtrends, into bottoming bases.
Stage 1A - Bottom Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of recovery after a downtrend, with early indications of strength emerging.👇
Stage 1B - Bottoming Process: Identifies the ongoing phase where the security continues to stabilize and strengthen, confirming the base-building process after the initial signal.👇
Stage 1R - Failed Uptrend: Detects when a security that had entered an early uptrend loses momentum and slips back into a bottoming phase, signaling a failed breakout.👇
What is Stage 2?
Stage 2 identifies stocks that transitioned from bottoming bases to uptrends.
Stage 2A - Breakout: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks out, signaling the start of a new uptrend.👇
Stage 2B - Uptrend: Identifies when the security continues to trade in an established uptrend following the initial breakout, with momentum building but not yet showing full strength.👇
Stage 2C - Strong Uptrend: Detects when the uptrend strengthens further, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating strength and buying pressure.👇
Stage 2R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had recently entered a corrective phase reverses course and reclaims its upward trajectory, moving back into an uptrend.👇
What is Stage 3?
Stage 3 identifies stocks that transitioned from uptrends to topping bases.
Stage 3A - Top Signal: Marks the first day a security shows initial signs of weakness after an uptrend, indicating the start of a potential topping phase.👇
Stage 3B - Topping Process: Identifies the period following the initial signal when the security continues to show signs of distribution and potential trend exhaustion.👇
Stage 3R - Failed Breakdown: Detects when a security that had entered a deeper corrective phase reverses upward, recovering enough strength to re-enter the topping phase.👇
What is Stage 4?
Stage 4 identifies stocks that transitioned from topping bases to downtrends.
Stage 4A - Breakdown: Marks the first day a security decisively breaks below key support levels, signaling the start of a new downward trend.👇
Stage 4B - Downtrend: Identifies when the security continues to trend lower following the initial breakdown, with sustained bearish momentum, though not yet fully entrenched.👇
Stage 4C - Strong Downtrend: Detects when the downtrend intensifies, with the security displaying clear signs of accelerating weakness and selling pressure.👇
Stage 4R - Failed Bottom: Detects when a security that had begun to show early signs of bottoming reverses course and resumes its decline, falling back into a downtrend.👇
Stage N/A - Recent IPO: Applies to stocks that recently IPO’ed and don’t have enough data to calculate all necessary moving averages.
Value Area
In Trend Analysis, the value area information is helpful to gauge price in relation to the value area.
▪ VA(y) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the yearly value area
▪ VA(m) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the monthly value area
▪ VA(w) - Categorizes the security based on the relation of price to the weekly value area
Value area states:
▪ ABOVE = Price above the value area high
▪ BELOW = Price below the value area low
▪ INSIDE = Price inside the value area
▪ Bull 80% = Bullish 80% rule in effect
▪ Bear 80% rule = Bearish 80% rule in effect
For example, in the chart above, VA(m) - ABOVE indicates a monthly value area and price is above the VAH.
💠 What Makes This Indicator Unique
There are many value area indicators, however...
Value Area
▪ Golden POC (GPOC) - This is a proprietary concept.
▪ Unique Label Customization
Pristine value areas often comprehensive and unique label customizations. Styles include options to display any combination of the following on your labels:
• Price levels associated with market profile levels
• % distance of market profile levels from security price
• ATR% extension of market profile levels from security price
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Based on the chart timeframe, unique market generated information is shown to facilitate multi-timeframe analysis.
▪ Weekly Timeframe
On the weekly timeframe the focus is the bigger picture and the metrics reflect this perspective. Performance data includes YTD Alpha and YTD percent change in price. Volatility is measured using ATR % and the industry standard beta. Trend analysis for this higher timeframe include the 52-week range, which measures where a security is trading in relation to its 52wk high and 52wk low. Also included is the where price is in relation to yearly value area.
▪ Daily Timeframe
As one drills down to the daily timeframe, the performance metrics include MTD alpha and MTD percent change in price.
Risk analysis includes the low-of-day extension (LODx), which is the ATR % multiple from the low of the day, to measures how extended a stock is from its low of day. In addition, the moving average extension (MAx) is the ATR % multiple from the user-defined moving average, measures how extended a security is from its
moving average. The default moving average is the 50D SMA, however this can be customized in Settings.
Trend Analysis on the daily timeframe includes the Pristine Capital methodology for classifying stocks into stages using moving averages. Both short-term and long-term stage analysis data is included. Finally, price in relation to monthly value area is shown.
▪ Hourly Timeframe
An the hourly timeframe, performance metrics include WTD alpha and WTD percent change in price. Trend analysis includes the daily closing range (DCR) and price in relation to weekly value area.

StockLeave Signal BarThe indicator identifies potential trade entries by highlighting expansion and reversal bars. These are defined by individual bar characteristics and refined by contextual factors such as price position relative to structural boundaries. The purpose is to locate bars that could indicate potential market initiation.
Expansion Bars
The expansion captures bars that breakout from a period of reduced volatility. These often initiate directional movement and are recognized using a two-part definition:
Range Expansion The current bar’s range must exceed the average range. This ensures the move is comparatively large and stands out from recent behavior.
Range Compression The bars before the expansion must be below a threshold of the average range. This confirms a low-volatility lead-up, strengthening the likelihood that the expansion has significance.
This script applies additional filters. A local breakout ensures price breaks the previous bar’s high or low. A strong close confirms directional intent by requiring the close near the bar’s extreme. Mean proximity checks that expansion starts near the mean price using a dynamic buffer relative to bar size. A directional filter blocks signals during extended directional runs. Consecutive suppression prevents multiple expansions to show in succession.
Reversal Bars
Reversal setups aim to identify potential turning points after price has reached a zone of imbalance or extension. These bars typically exhibit long tails and occur near structural boundaries such as the outer Keltner bands. Their design favors short-term price rejection and potential reversal.
Tail Dominance The wick must be at least twice the body and make up a significant portion of the bar’s total range, signaling strong rejection rather than indecision.
Close Location The close should be near the opposite end of the wick, near the low for bearish signals and near the high for bullish, confirming pressure in the reversal direction.
This script applies additional filters. Local extreme ensures the bar marks a local turning point to confirm reversals occur after extension, not within structure. Boundary proximity requires the bar to appear near the outer envelope, aligning bearish signals with the upper band and bullish with the lower, indicating price has reached an area of likely imbalance.
This section also incorporate snapback reversals, designed to capture failed extensions beyond structural boundaries. Unlike single-bar rejections, snapbacks use a two-bar sequence: a strong impulse bar that closes outside the envelope, followed by a reversal bar that closes back inside.
Alert Configuration
The Signal Bars indicator includes an alert function with two built-in conditions to help reduce screen time and focus attention when predefined conditions are met.
Expansion: Alerts when a bar meets all conditions for a valid expansion.
Reversal: Alerts when a bar meets the criteria for a pin bar or snapback reversal.
These are built into the indicator with the alertcondition() function and can be turned on whenever the indicator is applied to a chart. Each alert includes a default message that uses dynamic placeholders; {{ticker}} for the symbol and {{interval}} for the timeframe.
Create a new alert and select the condition “StockLeave Signal Bars.”
Then select from the two options: Expansion and Reversal.
For expansions, select “once per bar” to capture developing momentum.
For reversals, use “once per bar close” to confirm rejection setups.
Apply alerts across multiple timeframes to improve coverage. Lower timeframes are better suited for fast-moving markets, while higher timeframes work well in slower or more selective environments. This process only needs to be done once. The created alerts can then be toggled on or off from the Alerts panel as preferred, without requiring reconfiguration.
Applied Discretion
The indicator functions on fixed logic, but interpretation always takes precedence. Consider price action, structure, volatility, and broader market context. Most signals will not lead to trades; while many may appear in a session, only a select few will align with context and warrant execution based on discretion.
ZenAlgo - AvengerThe ZenAlgo - Avenger indicator provides a multi-layered view of market behavior by combining volume delta analytics, trend-following EMAs, average price comparison, and price-volume profiling into a unified overlay. It is designed to visually assist traders in identifying areas of interest, momentum shifts, and potential reversals using cumulative data from both spot and perpetual markets.
Volume Delta Calculation
This indicator computes delta as the difference between estimated buy and sell volumes using volume data from multiple centralized exchanges. It distinguishes between spot and perpetual volumes, combining them into total volume.
To estimate buying and selling volume from raw volume data, candle structure is broken down into body and wicks. The body is interpreted as the core directional movement (buy/sell), while the wicks are treated as uncertain or counteraction. This segmentation helps infer the likely share of buying and selling within each bar.
The delta is calculated per bar and then aggregated over a lookback period (default 14 bars) to generate a cumulative delta. This approach provides a smoothed value of volume pressure trends over time.
A moving average is applied to the delta values (using selectable MA types like EMA or SMA) to define signal crossovers and suppress noise.
Delta Visualization
To contextualize delta within price action, the delta is scaled dynamically (by ATR or user-defined value) and plotted as a band around the closing price. Positive delta expands upward from price, negative delta downward. This provides a visual overlay that reflects net market pressure in context with price movement.
In cases of extreme delta (threshold set at 80% of recent maximum), the indicator marks spike bars using symbols to indicate significant directional pressure.
Identification of Noteworthy Conditions
The indicator highlights points on the chart where specific conditions are met based on the interaction between volume delta and its moving average. These conditions may align with moments of market pressure imbalance and directional movement, but they are not to be interpreted as trade signals in isolation.
Instead, these chart markers serve as visual flags for potential interest. They are intended to draw the user’s attention to scenarios where:
The delta crosses above or below its moving average, suggesting a potential shift in volume pressure.
The cumulative delta supports the direction of this crossover.
Optional filters can further restrict these markings to periods where:
The short-term trend (as inferred from EMA slope) supports the direction.
Volume is elevated relative to a recent average.
A user-defined cooldown period prevents multiple markings within short succession to avoid clutter.
It is essential to underscore that these markers do not constitute buy or sell advice . Their role is diagnostic , helping the trader to identify potential moments of interest which should be analyzed in conjunction with broader context, such as trend structure, price action, support/resistance levels, or external market data.
EMA Structure
Six EMAs with fixed lengths (13 to 56) are plotted and colored dynamically based on the most recent crossover between the fastest and slowest (EMA1 and EMA6). These EMAs help visualize short- to mid-term trends. The crossover itself is marked with symbols, with vertical offset based on ATR to maintain chart readability.
Average Line (AVG)
The indicator also calculates an average price based on a fixed window (100 bars). This is not a standard moving average but rather a raw average of recent prices stored in a circular buffer. The average is plotted, and its relative distance to the current price is labeled as a percentage. This feature serves as a simplified representation of fair value or mean reversion anchor.
EMA6 vs AVG Cross
Another layer of point of interest detection involves EMA6 crossing the AVG line. This crossover is only considered valid if EMA6 shows slope consistency in the crossing direction. These events are marked using symbols and offset vertically to avoid overlapping price action.
Divergence Detection
The script detects both regular and hidden divergences between price and delta:
Regular divergences are defined when price makes a higher high or lower low, while delta fails to confirm (makes a lower high or higher low).
Hidden divergences occur when price retraces (lower high or higher low), but delta moves against this retracement, indicating underlying strength or weakness.
Divergence points are labeled with "R" (regular) or "H" (hidden) and appear at local pivot highs or lows. The number of visible divergence labels can be limited for chart clarity.
POC and nPOC Calculations
The script includes a simplified volume profile implementation, calculating:
POC (Point of Control): the price level with the highest volume for the given period.
nPOC (non-tested POC): historical POCs that have not yet been revisited by price.
Price levels are bucketed into rows (user-defined), and volume per bucket is tracked to identify the POC. Upon a new period (e.g., day, week), a horizontal POC line is drawn. Once tested by price, the line’s appearance changes (color fades, label shrinks), helping users distinguish between untouched and touched levels.
Limits are enforced on the number of retained POCs and their maximum distance from current bars to optimize performance and chart readability.
Exchange Aggregation
Volume data is aggregated across major exchanges. This ensures that the delta calculation captures a broader market picture beyond a single venue, reducing exchange-specific noise.
How to Interpret Values
Delta Band: Wide bands indicate strong directional imbalance. Narrow bands suggest indecision or low volume.
EMA Crossover Symbols: Appear on directional shifts in moving averages. Multiple EMAs reinforcing the same slope typically indicate stronger trend.
AVG Line: Represents average price over recent history. Large deviations can indicate overextension or potential mean reversion.
Divergences: Regular ones may point to weakening momentum; hidden ones can suggest continuation despite corrective price action.
POC / nPOC: Key volume-based support/resistance levels. Untested nPOCs can act as magnets for price retests.
How to Best Use This Indicator
Use in conjunction with trend context (e.g., higher timeframe EMAs) to avoid counter-trend indications.
Treat delta spikes as caution zones—especially if they occur at known support/resistance.
Watch for divergences as early warning signs before price reverses.
Use POC/nPOC as target levels, especially if aligned with delta signals.
Apply volume and trend filters to reduce noise on shorter timeframes.
Added Value
Multi-exchange volume aggregation makes the delta calculation more robust.
Real-time cumulative delta overlaid directly on the price chart provides immediate context.
Points of interest on chart are conservative and filterable, intended to reduce false positives.
The combination of delta, trend-following EMAs, fair value line, and volume profile data is rarely found in one overlay script.
POC/nPOC visualization based on real traded volume helps identify high-interest zones for future price interaction.
Why Is It Worth Paying For
While free alternatives may provide partial insights (e.g., basic delta or single EMA crossovers), this indicator integrates multiple domains—delta, divergence, average price, trend overlays, and profile levels—into a coherent, optimized chart tool. The value lies not just in having these tools, but in how they are synchronized and visualized.
Furthermore, sourcing and synchronizing volume data from multiple exchanges for delta estimation is not straightforward in Pine Script and adds to the indicator's complexity and utility.
Disclaimers and Limitations
Delta estimation is based on candle structure and assumes wick/body distribution reflects buyer/seller activity, which may not always be precise.
Multi-exchange volume data relies on availability via TradingView’s request.security() function; if exchange data is missing or delayed, results may be incomplete.
Divergences do not guarantee reversals—should be used as part of a broader analysis framework.
On illiquid instruments or exotic pairs, the value of delta and volume-based analytics may be reduced due to unreliable volume.
Forever Model [Pro+] (Sniper)Introduction
Forever Model (Sniper) is a clean, structured framework for visualizing internal liquidity to external liquidity rotations. It identifies shifts in market delivery by combining internal liquidity zones (Fair Value Gaps), divergence between correlated markets (Smart Money Technique), and lower timeframe orderflow changes (Orderblocks).
Designed for repeatability, the model helps analysts build confidence through familiarity, not complexity.
Rather than attempting to forecast direction, this model focuses on recognizing recurring patterns in delivery behavior across Timeframes. It presents a structured visual logic that can support manual analysis, with the aid of alerts that prompt analysts to investigate and validate potential price rotations.
The model is non-repainting, thoughtfully built to highlight past rotations once formed. It offers flexibility across assets and Timeframes, adapting to analysts' preferences while remaining consistent in its components.
Description
The model is organized into a three-part sequence. These three conditions form the visual foundation of the model. All parameters can be customized to match your preferred timeframe, session, and market:
Internal Range Liquidity Tag (IRL)
Price must interact with a defined internal inefficiency—typically a Fair Value Gap (FVG), which is an area between a three candle structure where price moves rapidly, leaving an imbalance that may later be revisited to be filled for efficiency.
Smart Money Technique Divergence Detected (SMT)
SMT transpires as a crack in correlation between two assets – this divergence is used to indicate potential shifts in price delivery.
SMT can be observed between two correlated assets, where one makes a lower low while the other holds a higher low (or conversely, one makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high).
Similarly, SMT can also occur between inverse correlated assets, where one makes a lower low while the other holds a lower high (or conversely, one makes a higher high while the other forms a higher low).
Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
After SMT occurs, the model identifies a CISD—a strong close engulfing the body of a previous directional candle that sweeps a short-term high or low. This suggests that price may be shifting from one delivery regime to another. The candle is labelled as an Orderblock (OB) candidate, with optional projected measures for better range of opportunity estimation.
Key Features
Model History Control
Controls how many past model formations appear on the chart, with a maximum of 40. Analysts may use shorter history for live charting or increase the count when studying past performance or recurring conditions.
When History is equal to 0, it will only show only live models in development, or nothing if no models are currently active.
Note: historical invalidated rotations are visualized through small markers, and may not display the model's components unless reviewed in Replay Mode. This mechanism keeps the chart clean, and allows the analyst to focus on the confirmed rotations.
Directional Bias Filter
Filters whether the model shows formations in only one direction or both. For example, selecting “Bullish” displays only internal range zones and divergence setups that meet criteria for upside movement. This feature is crucial for allowing analysts to align with higher Timeframe bias or studying unidirectional structures.
SMT Pair Input
The model compares your active chart with a second asset to detect SMT Divergence. You may manually enter a symbol (e.g., ES1!, BTCUSD, NZDUSD) or use Automatic SMT Pair Detection , which selects the most relevant correlated market. Inverse SMT inverts the logic, useful for negatively correlated pairs (e.g., gold vs dollar).
For example, although the Automatic SMT Pair Detection for CME_MINI:NQ1! is CME_MINI:ES1! , one may decide to use a leading stock in the NASDAQ such as NASDAQ:NVDA :
Timeframe Alignment
Defines which higher Timeframe the IRL is drawn from, and which lower Timeframe is used to evaluate the Model's conditions. These Timeframe Alignments can be selected individually to only showcase a specific combination of IRL and LTF Conditions; for a more dynamic approach, the "Automatic" option adjusts these pairings based on the current chart Timeframe. By selecting the "Custom" option, analysts can define and monitor their own preferred Timeframe Alignment.
Example: 5m Conditions ➞ 1H IRL vs. 4H Conditions ➞ Weekly IRL
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Visualization
Fair Value Gaps are areas where price moved quickly between two candles without overlap—these areas represent the IRL of the model, and are often revisited before continuing. Optionally, the analyst can decide to showcase the Consequent Encroachment (CE), the midpoint where price begins to fill the imbalance. Further, the analyst can maintain a cleaner chart by only showing FVG where SMT occurs, substantially limiting the number of drawings on the chart.
SMT Visualization
Draws visual lines connecting SMT points between the HTF reference points of the current chart's asset, and the SMT Pair asset. Helps analysts confirm divergence location and relationship at a glance, especially when reviewing multiple correlated pairs.
Liquidity Sweep Visualization
Most recent short-term liquidity swept, which resulted in a CISD. Marking this liquidity pool—a high or low that has been taken out—provides context and can give additional insight to evaluate the current market rotation.
Orderblock + Projections (OB)
When a CISD is recognized, an OB candidate is plotted. Projections from the OB can be displayed at customizable distances, serving as measurements for better range of opportunity estimation.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
External Range Liquidity refers to price levels that sit beyond internal structures—typically local highs or lows that may be revisited after a retracement, for continuation.
Session Filters + Timezone Control
Define up to four time blocks (e.g., London Open, NY AM, PM session, Asia) for when the model is active. Timezones are fully customizable, supporting global use cases and precise filtering of formations to sessions with expected volume or cleaner structure.
Information Table
A compact, floating panel is available to display key model parameters in real time: Timeframe Alignment, Bias Direction, Active SMT Pair, Time Filter Conditions, Date.
This feature provides immediate context under which the model is operating — especially useful during active chart review or multi-pair monitoring. The table can be repositioned, resized, or disabled entirely depending on visual preference.
Model Markers & Backtest Support
The model includes a visual marker system to support chart review and backtesting. These overlays provide reference points for past structure, showcasing the following:
Reaching an OB Projection after revisiting the OB
Reaching the External Range Liquidity after revisiting the OB
Reaching an OB Projection without revisiting the OB
Reaching the External Range Liquidity without revisiting the OB
Invalidating the detected OB

SCE Price Action SuiteThis is an indicator designed to use past market data to mark key price action levels as well as provide a different kind of insight. There are 8 different features in the script that users can turn on and off. This description will go in depth on all 8 with chart examples.
#1 Absorption Zones
I defined Absorption Zones as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Absorption---------------------
//----------------------------------------------
box absorptionBox = na
absorptionBar = ta.highest(bodySize, absorptionLkb)
bsab = ta.barssince(bool(ta.change(absorptionBar)))
if bsab == 0 and upBar and showAbsorption
absorptionBox := box.new(left = bar_index - 1, top = close, right = bar_index + az_strcuture, bottom = open, border_color = color.rgb(0, 80, 75), border_width = boxLineSize, bgcolor = color.rgb(0, 80, 75))
absorptionBox
else if bsab == 0 and downBar and showAbsorption
absorptionBox := box.new(left = bar_index - 1, top = close, right = bar_index + az_strcuture, bottom = open, border_color = color.rgb(105, 15, 15), border_width = boxLineSize, bgcolor = color.rgb(105, 15, 15))
absorptionBox
What this means is that absorption bars are defined as the bars with the largest bodies over a selected lookback period. Those large bodies represent areas where price may react. I was inspired by the concept of a Fair Value Gap for this concept. In that body price may enter to be a point of support or resistance, market participants get “absorbed” in the area so price can continue in whichever direction.
#2 Candle Wick Theory/Strategy
I defined Candle Wick Theory/Strategy as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Candle Wick--------------------
//----------------------------------------------
highWick = upBar ? high - close : downBar ? high - open : na
lowWick = upBar ? open - low : downBar ? close - low : na
upWick = upBar ? close + highWick : downBar ? open + highWick : na
downWick = upBar ? open - lowWick : downBar ? close - lowWick : na
downDelivery = upBar and downBar and high > upWick and highWick > lowWick and totalSize > totalSize and barstate.isconfirmed and session.ismarket
upDelivery = downBar and upBar and low < downWick and highWick < lowWick and totalSize > totalSize and barstate.isconfirmed and session.ismarket
line lG = na
line lE = na
line lR = na
bodyMidpoint = math.abs(body) / 2
upWickMidpoint = math.abs(upWickSize) / 2
downWickkMidpoint = math.abs(downWickSize) / 2
if upDelivery and showCdTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, downWickkMidpoint)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, downWickkMidpoint)
cpG = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, downWickkMidpoint * (1 + tp))
cpR = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, downWickkMidpoint * (1 - sl))
cpG1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, downWickkMidpoint * (1 + tp))
cpR1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, downWickkMidpoint * (1 - sl))
lG := line.new(cpG1, cpG, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.green, line.style_solid, 1)
lE := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.white, line.style_solid, 1)
lR := line.new(cpR1, cpR, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 1)
lR
else if downDelivery and showCdTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, upWickMidpoint)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, upWickMidpoint)
cpG = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, upWickMidpoint * (1 - tp))
cpR = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl, upWickMidpoint * (1 + sl))
cpG1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, upWickMidpoint * (1 - tp))
cpR1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, upWickMidpoint * (1 + sl))
lG := line.new(cpG1, cpG, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.green, line.style_solid, 1)
lE := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.white, line.style_solid, 1)
lR := line.new(cpR1, cpR, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 1)
lR
First I get the size of the wicks for the top and bottoms of the candles. This depends on if the bar is red or green. If the bar is green the wick is the high minus the close, if red the high minus the open, and so on. Next, the script defines the upper and lower bounds of the wicks for further comparison. If the candle is green, it's the open price minus the bottom wick. If the candle is red, it's the close price minus the bottom wick, and so on. Next we have the condition for when this strategy is present.
Down delivery:
Occurs when the previous candle is green, the current candle is red, and:
The high of the current candle is above the upper wick of the previous candle.
The size of the current candle's top wick is greater than its bottom wick.
The total size of the previous candle is greater than the total size of the current candle.
The current bar is confirmed (barstate.isconfirmed).
The session is during market hours (session.ismarket).
Up delivery:
Occurs when the previous candle is red, the current candle is green, and:
The low of the current candle is below the lower wick of the previous candle.
The size of the current candle's bottom wick is greater than its top wick.
The total size of the previous candle is greater than the total size of the current candle.
The current bar is confirmed.
The session is during market hours
Then risk is plotted from the percentage that users can input from an ideal entry spot.
#3 Candle Size Theory
I defined Candle Size Theory as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Candle displacement------------
//----------------------------------------------
line lECD = na
notableDown = bodySize > bodySize * candle_size_sensitivity and downBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
notableUp = bodySize > bodySize * candle_size_sensitivity and upBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
if notableUp and showCdSizeTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, close)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, close)
lECD := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.rgb(0, 80, 75), line.style_solid, 3)
lECD
else if notableDown and showCdSizeTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, close)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, close)
lECD := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.rgb(105, 15, 15), line.style_solid, 3)
lECD
This plots candles that are “notable” or out of the ordinary. Candles that are larger than the last by a value users get to specify. These candles' highs or lows, if they are green or red, act as levels for support or resistance.
#4 Candle Structure Theory
I defined Candle Structure Theory as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Structure----------------------
//----------------------------------------------
breakDownStructure = low < low and low < low and high > high and upBar and downBar and upBar and downBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
breakUpStructure = low > low and low > low and high < high and downBar and upBar and downBar and upBar and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
if breakUpStructure and showStructureTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, close)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, close)
lE := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.teal, line.style_solid, 3)
lE
else if breakDownStructure and showStructureTheory
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, open)
cpE2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, open)
lE := line.new(cpE, cpE2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 3)
lE
It is a series of candles to create a notable event. 2 lower lows in a row, a lower high, then green bar, red bar, green bar is a structure for a breakdown. 2 higher lows in a row, a higher high, red bar, green bar, red bar for a break up.
#5 Candle Swing Structure Theory
I defined Candle Swing Structure Theory as follows.
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Swing Structure----------------
//----------------------------------------------
line htb = na
line ltb = na
if totalSize * swing_struct_sense < totalSize and upBar and downBar and high > high and showSwingSturcture and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
cpS = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, high)
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, high)
htb := line.new(cpS, cpE, xloc.bar_index, color = color.red, style = line.style_dashed)
htb
else if totalSize * swing_struct_sense < totalSize and downBar and upBar and low > low and showSwingSturcture and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed
cpS = chart.point.new(time, bar_index - 1, low)
cpE = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + bl_strcuture, low)
ltb := line.new(cpS, cpE, xloc.bar_index, color = color.teal, style = line.style_dashed)
ltb
A bearish swing structure is defined as the last candle’s total size, times a scalar that the user can input, is less than the current candles. Like a size imbalance. The last bar must be green and this one red. The last high should also be less than this high. For a bullish swing structure the same size imbalance must be present, but we need a red bar then a green bar, and the last low higher than the current low.
#6 Fractal Boxes
I define the Fractal Boxes as follows
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Fractal Boxes------------------
//----------------------------------------------
box b = na
int indexx = na
if bar_index % (n * 2) == 0 and session.ismarket and showBoxes
b := box.new(left = bar_index, top = topBox, right = bar_index + n, bottom = bottomBox, border_color = color.rgb(105, 15, 15), border_width = boxLineSize, bgcolor = na)
indexx := bar_index + 1
indexx
The idea of this strategy is that the market is fractal. It is considered impossible to be able to tell apart two different time frames from just the chart. So inside the chart there are many many breakouts and breakdowns happening as price bounces around. The boxes are there to give you the view from your timeframe if the market is in a range from a time frame that would be higher than it. Like if we are inside what a larger time frame candle’s range. If we break out or down from this, we might be able to trade it. Users can specify a lookback period and the box is that period’s, as an interval, high and low. I say as an interval because it is plotted every n * 2 bars. So we get a box, price moves, then a new box.
#7 Potential Move Width
I define the Potential Move Width as follows
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Move width---------------------
//----------------------------------------------
velocity = V(n)
line lC = na
line l = na
line l2 = na
line l3 = na
line l4 = na
line l5 = na
line l6 = na
line l7 = na
line l8 = na
line lGFractal = na
line lRFractal = na
cp2 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity)
cp3 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity)
cp4 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity * 5)
cp5 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity * 5)
cp6 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity * 10)
cp7 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity * 10)
cp8 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + velocity * 15)
cp9 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - velocity * 15)
cpG = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close + R)
cpR = chart.point.new(time, bar_index + n, close - R)
if ((bar_index + n) * 2 - bar_index) % n == 0 and session.ismarket and barstate.isconfirmed and showPredictionWidtn
cp = chart.point.new(time, bar_index, close)
cpG1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index, close + R)
cpR1 = chart.point.new(time, bar_index, close - R)
l := line.new(cp, cp2, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.aqua, line.style_solid, 1)
l2 := line.new(cp, cp3, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.aqua, line.style_solid, 1)
l3 := line.new(cp, cp4, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 1)
l4 := line.new(cp, cp5, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.red, line.style_solid, 1)
l5 := line.new(cp, cp6, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.teal, line.style_solid, 1)
l6 := line.new(cp, cp7, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.teal, line.style_solid, 1)
l7 := line.new(cp, cp8, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.blue, line.style_solid, 1)
l8 := line.new(cp, cp9, xloc.bar_index, extend.none, color.blue, line.style_solid, 1)
l8
By using the past n bar’s velocity, or directional speed, every n * 2 bars. I can use it to scale the close value and get an estimate for how wide the next moves might be.
#8 Linear regression
//----------------------------------------------
//---------------Linear Regression--------------
//----------------------------------------------
lr = showLR ? ta.linreg(close, n, 0) : na
plot(lr, 'Linear Regression', color.blue)
I used TradingView’s built in linear regression to not reinvent the wheel. This is present to see past market strength of weakness from a different perspective.
User input
Users can control a lot about this script. For the strategy based plots you can enter what you want the risk to be in percentages. So the default 0.01 is 1%. You can also control how far forward the line goes.
Look back at where it is needed as well as line width for the Fractal Boxes are controllable. Also users can check on and off what they would like to see on the charts.
No indicator is 100% reliable, do not follow this one blindly. I encourage traders to make their own decisions and not trade solely based on technical indicators. I encourage constructive criticism in the comments below. Thank you.
Fibonacci Snap Tool [TradersPro]
OVERVIEW
The Fibonacci Snap tool automatically snaps to the swing high and swing low of the price data shown on the chart display. Fibonacci retracement levels can be used for entry, exit, or as a confirmation of trend continuation.
If the swing high on the chart comes before the swing low, the price is in a downtrend.If the swing high comes after the swing low, the price is in an uptrend.
We call the 23.60% Fibonacci level the momentum zone of the trend. Price in a solid trend, either up or down, will typically hold the 23.60% Fibonacci level as support (demand) in an uptrend or resistance (supply) in a downtrend.
Deeper Fibonacci levels of 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% are corrective supply/demand zones. As price moves against the found trend, it can move into this range block we call the corrective zone.
Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential supply/demand areas where price could reverse or consolidate. These levels are based on key ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, and we only use the core 23.60%, 38.20%, 50.00%, and 61.80% ratios.
CONCEPTS
Price action moves in trend cycles, these retracement levels help traders measure proportional relationships between the high/low swings in the price trend.
When a price trend is moving against the trend, traders can find opportunities to trade with the current trend at key Fibonacci levels. Fibonacci levels can be used to anticipate where price might find supply/demand imbalance and continue moving in the trend direction.
Traders apply the indicator by selecting a window of price they want to analyze in the chart display, and the Fibonacci Snap tool will snap to the high and low of the visible price display.
The Intent and Use of This Tool
The 23.60% level acts as a momentum or continuation of trend. The 38.20% to 61.80% range are corrective zones of the trend.
The 61.80% level, also known as the golden ratio (Google the term “Golden Ratio”; it's fun), can often represent the location of supply/demand imbalance.
In an uptrend, it can represent the area of no more selling supply, and the balance can shift to buying demand. In a downtrend, it can represent the area of no more buying demand and the balance can shift to selling supply.
When used with the Momentum Zones indicator, these two tools create a powerful combination for traders to find, implement, and manage trades.
Double FVG-BPR [QuantVue]The Double FVG BPR Indicator is a versatile tool that helps traders identify potential support and resistance levels through the concept of balanced price ranges.
A Balanced Price Range (BPR) is a zone on a price chart where the market has found equilibrium after a period of price imbalance.
It is identified by detecting a Fair Value Gap (FVG) in one direction, followed by an overlapping Fair Value Gap in the opposite direction.
Components of a Balanced Price Range
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A FVG occurs when there is a rapid price movement, creating a gap in the price chart where minimal trading occurs. This gap represents an imbalance between supply and demand.
Bullish FVG: A bullish FVG is identified when the low of a candle is higher than the high of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is higher than the high of that same period.
Bearish FVG: A bearish FVG is identified when the high of a candle is lower than the low of a candle two periods ago, and the close of the previous candle is lower than the low of that same period.
Overlapping Fair Value Gap: For a BPR to be formed, an initial FVG must be followed by an overlapping FVG in the opposite direction. This creates a balanced zone where the price has moved up (or down) quickly and then moved down (or up) with similar intensity, suggesting a temporary equilibrium.
The area between the high and low points of these overlapping FVGs forms the BPR. This zone represents a temporary market equilibrium where supply and demand have balanced out after a period of significant price movement in both directions.
How to Use
Support and Resistance Levels: The upper and lower boundaries of the BPR act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can use these levels to place buy and sell orders, anticipating that the price may find support or face resistance within these zones.
Trend Reversal and Continuation: The BPR can signal potential trend reversals or continuations.
If the price moves back into the BPR after a breakout, it may indicate a reversal. Conversely, if the price breaks out of the BPR with strong momentum, it may signal a trend continuation.
MTF Fair Value Gap Indicator ULTRAFVG Fair Value Gap Indicator
FVG's commonly known as Fair Value Gaps are mostly in use for forex trading, however it’s been widely used in price action trading, even on regular large cap stocks. Think of it as an imbalance area where the price of the stock may actually be under/over valued due to many orders being injected in a short amount of time, ie . a gap caused by an impulse created by the speed of the price movement. In essence, the FVG can become a kind of magnet drawing the price back to that level to attempt to balance out the orders (when? we don't know). Please do research to understand the concept of FVG's.
You can look for an opportunity as price approaches the FVG for entry either long/short because after all, it is an "Area of Interest" so the price will either bounce or blow through the area. No indicator works 100% of the time so take in context as just another indicator. It tends work on larger time frames best.
IMPORTANT TV RELATED LIMITATIONS: You should take the time to understand the following. A MAXIMUM of 500 boxes and labels are allowed, thus if you elect to display many different time frames of FVGs and/or select to not auto delete old Daily FVGs, the oldest FVGs will be deleted and not be seen. Additionally if you are on a smaller chart time frame (1 min), you may not see older FVGs such as Daily ones that occurred and still exist from long ago. This is due to TV limitation of 20,000 candles of history in each chart timeframe. Example: A 1 minute chart supports approximately 14 days worth of data so looking for Daily FVGs would only go back that far, whereas if your chart was set to 5 minutes you'd be able to see 5 times as many, ie . 60 days worth of Daily FVG's. Obviously setting your chart and looking for Daily FVG's would support up to 20,000 days worth.
The Indicator Provides many different features:
*Creation of FVG's for all hours or just during market hours. Currently you can enable FVG’s for the following timeframes: Current chart timeframe, 5Min, 10Min, 15Min, 1Hr, 4Hr, 8Hr, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
*Text label displays overlaying FVG bands including creation timestamps.
* Bands reflecting FVG's in action (created/deleted) for the current chart time frame, 15min, 1hr, 4hr, 8hr and daily time frames. The FVG's will be overlayed on the chart if enabled.
*Mitigation Action - Normal - When FVG is balanced out by price action, the FVG will disappear. Dynamic - The FVG band will decrease as the price movement eats into it thus only showing the remaining imbalance. None - For those that wish to retain FVG's even if they were mitigated. Half - FVG’s disappear when the price intrudes 50% of the overall FVG band zone.
*Mitigation Type - The elimination or balancing of the FVG is caused by either the candle wick or body passing completely through the FVG.
*Maximum FVGs - A maximum number of FVGs are created for each different enabled time frame (be aware setting a large number could impact system performance).
*All FVG band colors can be customized by the user.
* All FVG bands auto extend to the right.
* Intrusion Alerts - Trading View alerts are supported. You can use the indicator settings to enable an alert if the price intrudes into the FVG zone by a certain percentage. This is not related to mitigation or removal of the FVG, just a warning that price has reached the area of interest.
1st Fair Value Gap Multi Timeframe "1st Fair Value Gap Multi Timeframe" identifies FVGs during key times of the day with voltatility, which are often associated with institutional activity and liquidity shifts. These imbalances frequently act as support or resistance.
Features included:
- Automatic detection of key intraday FVGs
- Visualization of three higher timeframes simultaneously
- Unified view of imbalance zones without switching charts
Main benefit:
Helps traders monitor high-probability reaction zones across multiple timeframes with a single chart view.
Notice: This is a visualization tool and does not provide trading recommendations. Prior knowledge of ICT concepts is required.

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

Smart Money Index Intraday (by CapitalCore)This indicator identifies imbalance zones (Fair Value Gaps) — key levels where price demonstrates significant gaps between supply and demand. It is designed for intraday trading and helps determine precise entry levels, as well as stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Key Features:
Automatic identification of bullish and bearish imbalances based on gap analysis in candle extremes
Volume-based signal filtering for improved accuracy (with customizable on/off parameters)
Display of specific entry levels (long entry / short entry) with price
Calculation and visualization of stop-loss and take-profit levels with customizable stop size
Integration with TradingView alert system for timely trading signal notifications
Compact indicator display directly on the chart without overlapping candles — histogram below the chart
Target Audience: The indicator is suitable for traders working on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) who want to improve entry precision using Smart Money zones and volume filters.
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.

🔭 What is the MA Thrust Processor?
The MA Thrust Processor (MTP) is a dynamic and modular market momentum engine that specializes in thrust-based signal analysis derived from smoothed moving averages. It’s engineered to model directional commitment, detect signal imbalances, and visualize structural momentum in a range of market conditions.
🧬 Think of MTP as a precision-engineered motion sensor — decoding strength, follow-through, and structural imbalance in real time — it detects force, direction, velocity, and alignment, adapting based on your preferred calculation model (Wave, Thrust, Z-Score, or Normalized) and signal mode (Impulse, Trend, or HA Candles).
_______________________
1. 🔧 System Core: Customizability and Processing Engine
📊 Moving Average Types
MA Thrust Processor supports a rich menu of 13+ moving average styles:
• Standard: SMA, EMA, WMA
• Advanced: HMA, LSMA, ALMA, JMA, TEMA, DEMA, SMMA
• Volume-Based: VWMA
• Adaptive Models: VIDYA (3 modes), FRAMA
💡 Each MA type acts as the backbone for signal smoothing and thrust deviation modeling, giving the user tight control over behavior and lag tradeoffs.
⚙️ Calculation Methods (MA Derivatives)
You choose how the core value is calculated:
1️⃣ 𝓦𝓪𝓿𝓮
• Sine-wave modeled oscillator
• Combines MA distance with standard deviation normalization
• Ideal for detecting divergences and cyclical structure
• Output includes center, smoothed line , and histogram.
2️⃣ 𝓣𝓱𝓻𝓾𝓼𝓽
• Calculates MA deviation vs. price and midpoint
• Captures aggressive directional pushes relative to range center
• Excellent for breakout/trend force analysis
3️⃣ 𝓩-𝓢𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓮
• Mean-reverting z-score over MA
• Expresses statistical distance from norm
• Used in reversion or probabilistic strategies
4️⃣ 𝓝𝓸𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓵𝓲𝔃𝓮𝓭
• Scales MA output to 0–1 (centered at 0.5)
• Tracks where the signal lies in its own relative range
• Great for flat vs. trending recognition

2. 🧨 SIGNAL MODES – The Behavioral Core
The system supports 3 powerful signal modes that define how the thrust logic is interpreted and visualized.
1️⃣ 𝓘𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓵𝓼𝓮 Mode
🔥 Use Case: Breakouts, aggressive reversals, divergences
🔍 Logic:
• In Wave mode: compares Wave O (oscillator) and S (smoothed)
• In Thrust/Z-Score/Normalized: applies thresholds (static, SD, or percentile)
• Detects sharp departures or rejections from bounds
🎯 Ideal for:
• Scalp or event trades
• High-velocity moves
• Leading edge of trend or compression breaks
2️⃣ 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓭 Mode
🧭 Use Case: Stable continuation and trend following
🔍 Logic:
• Signal triggers when value crosses a calculated midline or long-term average
• Thresholds: midline or 365-SMA of smoothed value
• Acts as a stable “bias direction” for trades
🎯 Ideal for:
• Swing trading
• Portfolio allocations
• Holding directional exposure longer
3️⃣ 𝓗𝓐 𝓒𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓵𝓮𝓼 Mode
🎨 Use Case: Visual clarity + phase detection
🔍 Logic:
• Converts signal to Heikin-Ashi candles
• Adds logic for momentum, reversal, continuation, or chop
• Highly discretionary and pattern-oriented
🎯 Ideal for:
• Visual traders
• Phase-based strategies
• Avoiding false positives in chop

3. 📊 System Sensor Table (Strength Meter)
MA Thrust Processor includes a sophisticated sensor display with multi-layered insights.
🔁 Signal State
• Long ⟹ bullish conviction or thrust
• Short ⟹ bearish dominance or rejection
• Cash ⟹ neutrality or low conviction
Dynamically generated by logic mode and indicator thresholds.
📊 Strength Bars: Conviction + Potential
Strength output is never binary — instead, it’s expressed via:
1️⃣ Conviction Strength (when signal is active):
• Score from 0% to 100%
• Based on:
o Momentum velocity (Rate of Change)
o Distance from key thresholds
o Divergence signal (Wave mode)
o Flat signal detection (for Normalized)
2️⃣ Potential Strength (when signal = neutral):
• Displays both Bullish and Bearish readiness
• Interprets which side is loading pressure
• Helps traders spot “who has the edge” before breakout
👀 In Wave Mode, potential is calculated from oscillator vs. smoothed
👀 In Impulse/Trend, it blends distance + RoC + signal stability
🔸 HA Candle Phase (HA Mode Only)
When HA mode is active, strength bars are replaced with a live phase classifier:
• Momentum Up/Down: price above/below threshold + same color trend
• Reversal Up/Down: price above/below bounds, opposite signal color
• Continuation Up/Down: following a breakout/confirmation
• Chop: indecision zone
• Neutral: no clear trend
This turns HA mode into a narrative engine, expressing what’s happening, why, and what might come next.

4. 🧠 Smart Auto-Configuration
Enabling Use Recommended Settings triggers optimized configurations:
• Pre-set thresholds (static, percentile, SD)
• Ideal lengths for each logic type
• Proper bounds scaling
• MA selections that match the logic
For example:
• Impulse + Thrust ⇒ shorter length + SD
• Trend + Z-Score ⇒ long mean-based
• Wave ⇒ balanced smoothing + SD blend

5. 🧪 Summary of Use Cases
Each mode and calculation method within the MA Thrust Processor is tailored for specific trading styles and market conditions. Here’s how to think about their best applications:
🔹 Signal Modes
Impulse Mode is designed for speed and responsiveness. It excels in fast markets where breakouts or sharp reversals happen quickly. Ideal for scalpers, intraday traders, or anyone looking to catch momentum just as it ignites. It’s particularly effective around high-impact events like economic reports or news catalysts, as it picks up directional shifts rapidly.
Trend Mode focuses on longer-term, stable price action. It identifies directional bias using midline or average-based thresholds, making it best for swing traders and trend followers. Because of its stability, it filters out minor fluctuations and helps you stay in trades longer when the directional move is sustained.
HA Candles Mode is for traders who prefer a visual, phase-based approach. It smooths data using Heikin-Ashi logic and adds interpretive layers like "Momentum," "Reversal," or "Chop" to describe what’s happening structurally. This is excellent for discretionary traders, those who use price rhythm or structure, and those seeking cleaner entry points in noisy environments.
🔹 Calculation Methods
Wave is an oscillator-based model. It detects momentum swings and divergence between price and the smoothed oscillator. Great for spotting early reversals, pullback continuations, or cyclical rhythm patterns. In Impulse mode, it shows histogram shifts that reflect internal thrust dynamics.
Thrust quantifies directional pressure by comparing the signal’s distance from both the midpoint of price range and an SMA. This method is powerful when you want to assess how much true force is behind a move — especially useful during breakout scenarios or strong directional pushes.
Z-Score mode normalizes the signal to its statistical distance from the mean. This makes it ideal for mean reversion strategies or situations where price has deviated too far from historical behavior. Traders can look for exhaustion zones or pullback opportunities with greater confidence.
Normalized rescales the signal within a 0–1 range (centered at 0.5), helping traders understand where the price sits within its own context — whether it’s relatively extended or compressed. It’s great for range traders, flat market identification, or mapping gradual bias accumulation.
