Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage AnalyzerThe Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage Analyzer is a sophisticated tool designed for traders aiming to exploit price deviations between various asset pairs. By examining the differences in normalized price relations and their weighted residuals, this indicator provides insights into potential arbitrage opportunities in the market.
Key Features:
Multiple Relation Analysis: Analyze up to five different asset relations simultaneously, offering a comprehensive view of potential arbitrage setups.
Normalization Functions: Choose from a variety of normalization techniques like SMA, EMA, WMA, and HMA to ensure accurate comparisons between different price series.
Dynamic Weighting: Residuals are weighted based on their correlation, ensuring that stronger correlations have a more pronounced impact on the analysis. Weighting can be adjusted using several functions including square, sigmoid, and logistic.
Regression Flexibility: Incorporate linear, polynomial, or robust regression to calculate residuals, tailoring the analysis to different market conditions.
Customizable Display: Decide which plots to display for clarity and focus, including normalized relations, weighted residuals, and the difference between the screen relation and the average weighted residual.
Usage Guidelines:
Configure the asset pairs you wish to analyze using the Symbol Relations group in the settings.
Adjust the normalization, volatility, regression, and weighting functions based on your preference and the specific characteristics of the asset pairs.
Monitor the weighted residuals for deviations from the mean. Larger deviations suggest stronger arbitrage opportunities.
Use the difference plot (between the screen relation and average weighted residual) as a quick visual cue for potential trade setups. When this plot deviates significantly from zero, it indicates a possible arbitrage opportunity.
Regularly update and adjust the parameters to account for changing market conditions and ensure the most accurate analysis.
In the Advanced Weighted Residual Arbitrage Analyzer , the value set in Alert Threshold plays a crucial role in delineating a normalized band. This band serves as a guide to identify significant deviations and potential trading opportunities.
When we observe the plots of the green line and the purple line, the Alert Threshold provides a boundary for these plots. The following points explain the significance:
Breach of the Band: When either the green or purple line crosses above or below the Alert Threshold , it indicates a significant deviation from the mean. This breach can be interpreted as a potential trading signal, suggesting a possible arbitrage opportunity.
Convergence to the Mean: If the green line converges with the purple line , it denotes that the price relation has reverted to its mean. This convergence typically suggests that the arbitrage opportunity has been exhausted, and the market dynamics are returning to equilibrium.
Trade Execution: A trader can consider entering a trade when the lines breach the Alert Threshold . The return of the green line to align closely with the purple line can be seen as a signal to exit the trade, capitalizing on the reversion to the mean.
By monitoring these plots in conjunction with the Alert Threshold , traders can gain insights into market imbalances and exploit potential arbitrage opportunities. The convergence and divergence of these lines, relative to the normalized band, serve as valuable visual cues for trade initiation and termination.
When you're analyzing relations between two symbols (for instance, BINANCE:SANDUSDT/BINANCE:NEARUSDT ), you're essentially looking at the price relationship between the two underlying assets. This relationship provides insights into potential imbalances between the assets, which arbitrage traders can exploit.
Breach of the Lower Band: If the purple line touches or crosses below the lower Alert Threshold , it indicates that the first symbol (in our example, SANDUSDT ) is undervalued relative to the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ). In practical terms:
Action: You would consider buying the first symbol ( SANDUSDT ) and selling the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ).
Rationale: The expectation is that the price of the first symbol will rise, or the price of the second symbol will fall, or both, thereby converging back to their historical mean relationship.
Breach of the Upper Band: Conversely, if the difference plot touches or crosses above the upper Alert Threshold , it suggests that the first symbol is overvalued compared to the second. This implies:
Action: You'd consider selling the first symbol ( SANDUSDT ) and buying the second symbol ( NEARUSDT ).
Rationale: The anticipation here is that the price of the first symbol will decrease, or the price of the second will increase, or both, bringing the relationship back to its historical average.
Convergence to the Mean: As mentioned earlier, when the green line aligns closely with the purple line, it's an indication that the assets have returned to their typical price relationship. This serves as a signal for traders to consider closing out their positions, locking in the gains from the arbitrage opportunity.
It's important to note that when you're trading based on symbol relations, you're essentially betting on the relative performance of the two assets. This strategy, often referred to as "pairs trading," seeks to capitalize on price imbalances between related financial instruments. By taking opposing positions in the two symbols, traders aim to profit from the eventual reversion of the price difference to the mean.
Sniper BreakoutThis indicator is based on 3 indicator :=
1) Forex Market Session 2) Ema 200 3) Volume
This indicator is for Forex market ..in Forex market (ex- Eur/Usd ) price often (67%) do rotation in every session means example :let suppose a trade take trade in asian session and have 30 pips stop loss 67 % chance price will come back to entry price after London session or New York session so trade have less chance to make trade without hitting stop loss
in this indicator we are using Forex market session indicator to get session range start to end ..this indicator will only search opportunity in London And New York Session range and that can be customize from input section . user can select time zone and time of session from input section indicator and color of session .
next indicator using 200 length Exponential Moving Average for trend identification .if close price is above 200 Ema means trend is upside moving & if close price is below 200 Ema means price is moving downside .user can change length and source of Ema from input section .
Third and most important part is volume indicator when a session start (Example-London session it keep Look back 6 previous candle and compare volume imbalance between look back candle .look back candle can be customize from input section default look back candle input is (6).
next we are using trade range time to only show trade on certain time because often market convert into trading range so given specific input time it only take trade when volume and price is rising or falling .time range can be selected from input section .
Trade Entry Buy Signal -if price is either London or New York session and price is above 200 Ema and volume not in imbalance last number of candle it give Feb (first entry buy ) we keep save high price of every candle after Feb (label ) signal .if any candle break above Feb label it show a confirm buy signal ..Below in example as we can see
Example Image Buy Signal -
in this above example step -1 we searching imbalance of volume and price as we can see imbalance of volume and price on green candle .next we look price is above 200 ema .next step(2) we got Feb (first entry buy ) signal this is not a confirm buy signal .we save high of candle next candle high close above previous candle high we got confirm buy signal .
Trade Entry Sell Signal - if price is either London or New York session and price is below 200 Ema and volume not in imbalance last number of candle it give Feb (first entry Sell ) we keep save low price of every candle after Fes (label ) signal .if any candle break below Fes label it show a confirm sell signal ..Below in example as we can see
step-1 starting of london session we start getting imbalance between price and volume .price is getting rejected but volume is rising on green candle we got fes (first entry sell signal ).next we save low of fes candle but price close above that low of candle we dont get confirm sell entry next price break below low of previous candle so open a new sell signal ..
Example 3 - No Confirm buy/sell Signal
In this above Image example we did not get any confirm signal...we got first entry buy signal but price did not close high of candle in london session .so that day chance price can go any side ..
Example 4 -Feb signal and later confirm buy entry
in this above example we got imbalance of volume and feb(first entry buy signal) but we dont get any confirm buy signal price is just going high then previous candle ..later we see price crossover high of previous candle we got confirm buy signal
Use Of Indicator - This indicator helps traders identify potential trade setups by signaling the first entry points and confirming them later. It's particularly useful for avoiding getting caught in price rotations and aligning trades with significant volume and price movements. Traders should analyze price action and news before confirming a trade.

Fair Value Gap Suite Adrian V1.0.0Brief description
The “FVG Suite” identifies fair value gaps across multiple time units, evaluates them with a displacement score, optionally filters them according to market structure events (BOS/CHOCH), and provides context-based alerts for first touch, partial and full fills, and invalidation. The aim is to show only high-quality imbalances and trade them based on rules.
What makes the script unique (originality/added value)
Displacement score: Strength of the impulse movement as a combination of (body/ATR, range/ATR, volume Z-score).
MTF aggregator: FVGs from higher timeframes are collected, ranked, and displayed as zones on the active chart (including overlap clustering).
Structure context: Optionally, only FVGs after confirmed BOS/CHOCH in the trend direction, including premium/discount evaluation relative to the HTF range.
Adaptive invalidation: FVG expires after candles, opposing BOS or defined time (e.g., end of session).
Session/instrument filter: Time window (e.g., NY/LDN), minimum tick size, ATR-based minimum gap.
Smart fill logic: Distinguishes between first touch, partial fill (≥ %), full fill (100%); alarms per event.
Statistics overlay (optional): Hit rate/expectancy per TF & session for fine-tuning the filters.
How it works (conceptually)
FVG definition (3-candle pattern): Bullish if High < Low (bearish analog). Size = gap span in points.
Quality score:Score = w1*(|Body|/ATR) + w2*(Range/ATR) + w3*(Volume-Z), normalized to 0–100.
MTF scan: List of higher TFs: (customizable). Findings are merged, ranked, and displayed as zones with priority (color/opacity).
Context filter: Only FVGs that emerge after BOS/CHOCH in the direction of the current trend; optional exclusion in premium/discount areas.
Invalidation & alerts: A zone is considered active until the invalidation rule takes effect. Alerts are triggered upon: initial contact, partial/full filling, invalidation.
Important inputs
Min. FVG size: × ATRor ticks/points
Min. displacement score: (0–100)
MTF list:
BOS/CHOCH filter: On/Off (Lookback candles)
Session filter: NY/LDN/Asia (local time, weekend toggle)
Invalidation: maxBars = , Opposite BOS = On/Off, Session End = On/Off
Fill definitions: Partial fill ≥ % of the gap; Full fill = 100%
Overlay options: Zone color/transparency, HTF label, statistics overlay On/Off
Alerts (names & triggers)
FVG Suite – First Touch: Price touches an active FVG zone for the first time.
FVG Suite – Partial Fill: Partial fill ≥ configured threshold.

Use (best practices)
Trade in the trend direction with BOS/CHOCH filter; target counter-imbalances/liquidity pools.
Use session filters to avoid news spikes/illiquid periods.
Calibrate parameters for each market/TF (ATR/volume profiles differ).
Limitations
Structure labels can be reevaluated for new highs/lows (repainting of labels, not of FVG finds).
Spreads/news can generate “pseudo fills.”
Backtests/statistics are sample-dependent; no guarantee of results.

Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to detect and highlight significant imbalances in buying and selling pressure within individual price bars. By analyzing a calculated "Delta" – the net difference between estimated buy and sell volume – and employing statistical Z-score analysis, VFAS pinpoints moments when buying or selling activity becomes unusually dominant. This script was created not in hopes of creating a "Buy and Sell" indicator but rather providing the user with a more in-depth insight into the intrabar volume delta and how it can fluctuate in unusual ways, leading to anomalies that can be capitalized on.
This indicator helps traders identify high-conviction points where strong market participants are active, signaling potential shifts in momentum or continuation of a trend. It aims to provide a clearer understanding of underlying market dynamics, allowing for more informed decision-making in various trading strategies, from identifying entry points to confirming trend strength.
🚀 Points of Innovation
● Z-Score for Delta Analysis : Utilizes statistical Z-scores to objectively identify statistically significant anomalies in buying/selling pressure, moving beyond simple, arbitrary thresholds.
● Dynamic Confidence Scoring : Assigns a multi-star confidence rating (1-4 stars) to each signal, factoring in high volume, trend alignment, and specific confirmation criteria, providing a nuanced view of signal strength.
● Integrated Trend Filtering : Offers an optional Exponential Moving Average (EMA)-based trend filter to ensure signals align with the broader market direction, reducing false positives in ranging markets.
● Strict Confirmation Logic : Implements specific confirmation criteria for higher-confidence signals, including price action and a time-based gap from previous signals, enhancing reliability.
● Intuitive Info Dashboard : Provides a real-time summary of market trend and the latest signal's direction and confidence directly on the chart, streamlining information access.
🔧 Core Components
● Core Delta Engine : Estimates the net buying/selling pressure (bar Delta) by analyzing price movement within each bar relative to volume. It also calculates average volume to identify bars with unusually high activity.
● Anomaly Detection (Z-Score) : Computes the Z-score for the current bar's Delta, indicating how many standard deviations it is from its recent average. This statistical measure is central to identifying significant anomalies.
● Trend Filter : Utilizes a dual Exponential Moving Average (EMA) cross-over system to define the prevailing market trend (uptrend, downtrend, or range), providing contextual awareness.
● Signal Processing & Confidence Algorithm : Evaluates anomaly conditions against trend filters and confirmation rules, then calculates a dynamic confidence score to produce actionable, contextualized signal information.
🔥 Key Features
● Advanced Delta Anomaly Detection : Pinpoints bars with exceptionally high buying or selling pressure, indicating potential institutional activity or strong market conviction.
● Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring : Each signal comes with a 1-4 star rating, clearly communicating its reliability based on high volume, trend alignment, and specific confirmation criteria.
● Optional Trend Alignment : Users can choose to filter signals, so only those aligned with the prevailing EMA-defined trend are displayed, enhancing signal quality.
● Interactive Signal Labels : Displays compact labels on the chart at anomaly points, offering detailed tooltips upon hover, including signal type, direction, confidence, and contextual information.
● Customizable Bar Colors : Visually highlights bars with Delta anomalies, providing an immediate visual cue for strong buying or selling activity.

○ Description: Defines the number of preceding bars used to calculate the average volume and delta. Bars with volume below this average won't be considered for high-volume signals. A shorter lookback is more reactive to recent changes, while a longer one provides a smoother average.
📈 Anomaly Detection Settings
Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold
○ Default: 2.5
○ Range: Float (e.g., 1.0-5.0+)
○ Description: The number of standard deviations from the mean that a bar's delta must exceed to be considered a significant anomaly. A higher threshold means fewer, but potentially stronger, signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, which might include less significant events. Experiment to find the optimal balance for your trading style.
🔬 Context Filters
Enable Trend Filter
○ Default: False
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, signals will only be generated if they align with the current market trend as determined by the EMAs (e.g., only bullish signals in an uptrend, bearish in a downtrend). This helps to filter out counter-trend noise.
● Trend EMA Fast
○ Default: 50
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 10-100)
○ Description: The period for the faster Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. In combination with the slow EMA, it defines the trend direction.
● Trend EMA Slow
○ Default: 200
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 100-400)
○ Description: The period for the slower Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. The relationship between the fast and slow EMA determines if the market is in an uptrend (fast > slow) or downtrend (fast < slow).
🎨 Visual & UI Settings
● Show Info Dashboard
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard on the chart, which provides a summary of market trend and the last detected signal.
● Show Dashboard Tooltip
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles a reminder message in the dashboard to hover over signal labels for more detailed information.
● Show Delta Anomaly Bar Colors
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Enables or disables the coloring of bars based on their delta direction and whether they represent a significant anomaly.
● Show Signal Labels
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Controls the visibility of the “📈” or “📉” labels that appear on the chart when a delta anomaly signal is generated.
🔔 Alert Settings
Alert on Delta Anomaly
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, this setting allows you to set up alerts in TradingView that will trigger whenever a new bullish or bearish delta anomaly is detected.
✅ Best Use Cases
Early Trend Reversal / Continuation Detection: Identify strong surges of buying/selling pressure at key support/resistance levels that could indicate a reversal or the continuation of a strong move.
● Confirmation of Breakouts: Use high-confidence delta anomalies to confirm the validity of price breakouts, indicating strong conviction behind the move.
● Entry and Exit Points: Pinpoint precise entry opportunities when anomalies align with your trading strategy, or identify potential exhaustion signals for exiting trades.
● Scalping and Day Trading: The indicator’s sensitivity to intraday buying/selling imbalances makes it highly effective for short-term trading strategies.
● Market Sentiment Analysis: Gain a real-time understanding of underlying market sentiment by observing the prevalence and strength of bullish vs. bearish anomalies.
⚠️ Limitations
Estimated Delta: The script uses a simplified method to estimate delta based on bar close relative to its range, not actual order book or footprint data. While effective, it’s an approximation.
● Sensitivity to Z-Score Threshold: The effectiveness heavily relies on the `Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold`. Too low, and you’ll get many false positives; too high, and you might miss valid signals.
● Confirmation Criteria: The 4-star confidence level’s “confirmation” relies on specific subsequent bar conditions and previous confirmed signals, which might be too strict or specific for all contexts.
● Requires Context: While powerful, VFAS is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action to form a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not a standalone “buy/sell” signal.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Statistical Rigor: The application of Z-score analysis to bar delta provides an objective, statistically-driven way to identify true anomalies, moving beyond arbitrary thresholds.
● Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring: The unique 1-4 star confidence system integrates multiple market dynamics (volume, trend alignment, specific follow-through) into a single, easy-to-interpret rating.
● User-Friendly Design: From the intuitive dashboard to the detailed signal tooltips, the indicator prioritizes clear and accessible information for traders of all experience levels.
🔬 How It Works
1. Bar Delta Calculation:
● The script first estimates the “buy volume” and “sell volume” for each bar. This is done by assuming that volume proportional to the distance from the low to the close represents buying, and volume proportional to the distance from the high to the close represents selling.
● How this contributes: This provides a proxy for the net buying or selling pressure (delta) within that specific price bar, even without access to actual footprint data.
2. Volume & Delta Z-Score Analysis:
● The average volume over a user-defined lookback period is calculated. Bars with volume less than twice this average are generally considered of lower interest.
● The Z-score for the calculated bar delta is computed. The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the current bar’s delta is from its average delta over the `Minimum Volume Lookback` period.
● How this contributes: A high positive Z-score indicates a bullish delta anomaly (significantly more buying than usual), while a high negative Z-score indicates a bearish delta anomaly (significantly more selling than usual). This identifies statistically unusual levels of pressure.
3. Trend Filtering (Optional):
● Two Exponential Moving Averages (Fast and Slow EMA) are used to determine the prevailing market trend. An uptrend is identified when the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, and a downtrend when the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA.
● How this contributes: If enabled, the indicator will only display bullish delta anomalies during an uptrend and bearish delta anomalies during a downtrend, helping to confirm signals within the broader market context and avoid counter-trend signals.
4. Signal Generation & Confidence Scoring:
● When a delta Z-score exceeds the user-defined anomaly threshold, a signal is generated.
● This signal is then passed through a multi-factor confidence algorithm (`f_calculateConfidence`). It awards stars based on: high volume presence, alignment with the overall trend (if enabled), and a fourth star for very strong Z-scores (above 3.0) combined with specific follow-through candle patterns after a cooling-off period from a previous confirmed signal.
● How this contributes: Provides a qualitative rating (1-4 stars) for each anomaly, allowing traders to quickly assess the potential significance and reliability of the signal.
💡 Note:
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner is a powerful analytical tool, but it’s crucial to understand that no indicator guarantees profit. Always backtest and forward-test the indicator settings on your chosen assets and timeframes. Consider integrating VFAS with your existing trading strategy, using its signals as confirmation for entries, exits, or trend bias. The Z-score threshold is highly customizable; lower values will yield more signals (including potential noise), while higher values will provide fewer but potentially higher-conviction signals. Adjust this parameter based on market volatility and your risk tolerance. Remember to combine statistical insights from VFAS with price action, support/resistance levels, and your overall market outlook for optimal results.
ICT Smart Money Trading Suite [SwissAlgo]ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite - Technical Analysis Indicator
----------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
The ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite is a technical analysis indicator that implements concepts from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology and Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
ICT methodology was developed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT) and focuses on understanding Institutional market behavior.
Smart Money Concepts builds upon these ideas to analyze how large Financial Institutions and/or Market Makers seem to operate in the markets.
This indicator combines multiple analytical tools into a single package for market structure analysis, imbalance detection, and the observation of institutional order flow.
----------------------------------------------------------
CORE COMPONENTS
Market Structure Analysis:
- External Structure : Major swing highs and lows that define broader price movement (these are the most significant structural points that institutions reference for their positioning and typically require substantial volume and momentum to break)
- Internal Structure : Shorter-term pivots showing micro-trend developments within the External Structure (these internal pivot highs and lows often represent areas where retail traders may be positioned on the wrong side of the market as they frequently form just before major structural breaks or trend continuations, creating liquidity that institutions can utilize)
- Structural Breakout Detection : Identification of structure breaks and potential trend changes ( 'Change of Character' which occurs when the External Structure shifts from bullish to bearish bias or vice-versa indicating a potential major trend reversal, and 'Break of Structure' which happens when price decisively takes out previous significant highs in a bearish trend or previous significant lows in a bullish trend confirming trend continuation or acceleration)
- EMA Cloud : Dynamic support and resistance zones with trend context (additional reference point)
Imbalance Zone Detection:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Price inefficiencies that occur between candles when sudden price moves create gaps in price delivery
Typically formed when the low of a bullish candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods prior, or when the high of a bearish candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods prior
These gaps represent areas where price moved too quickly without adequate two-way auction process
Institutions may return to fill these inefficiencies at a later time for proper price discovery
The theory suggests that all price ranges should eventually be traded through to complete the auction process
Gaps are automatically removed from the chart when price fully retraces back through the inefficient area
Order Blocks (OBs):
Specific candles that occur immediately before significant market moves and represent institutional decision points
Identified as the last opposing candle before a strong directional move (final bearish candle before major bullish move or final bullish candle before major bearish move)
These candles contain the orders and liquidity that institutions used as a foundation for their market manipulation
Represent areas where large institutional players positioned themselves to move the market significantly
Price may return to these levels to collect additional liquidity or test institutional resolve
The candle's full range (high to low) is considered the active zone where institutional interest may remain
Vector Candle Recovery:
Zones created by high-activity candles that demonstrate unusually large range and volume characteristics
These candles are interpreted as manipulative price pushes designed to hunt liquidity and trigger stop losses
Often used by institutions to induce retail traders into poor positions before reversing direction
Recovery zones represent the full range of these vector candles where price may retrace
The concept assumes that extreme moves often get partially retraced as the market corrects from artificial price displacement
Zones are invalidated when a significant portion of the vector candle range is retraced (typically 50% or more)
Support & Resistance:
Key price zones based on historical price reactions and pivot clustering analysis
Calculated through algorithmic identification of areas where price has repeatedly found buyers (support) or sellers (resistance)
Strength is determined by the number of times price has reacted from these levels and the volume of activity at these zones
Represent psychological and algorithmic reference points where institutional systems are likely to place orders
Create areas of increased probability for price reactions due to concentration of pending orders and decision-making activity
Zones are color-coded based on current price position: green for support (price above), red for resistance (price below), yellow for neutral (price within)
Liquidity Analysis:
- Liquidity Pools : Areas above or below key levels where stop orders may cluster
- Kill Zones : Time-based periods associated with increased market activity
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly Price Levels : Key institutional reference points (price highs/lows)
Vector Candles/Price Manipulation:
Advanced algorithm identifying statistically significant candles using volume delta analysis, range statistics, and persistence scoring.

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

SMC Entry Signals MTF v2📘 User Guide for the SMC Entry Signals MTF v2 Indicator
🎯 Purpose of the Indicator
This indicator is designed to identify reversal entry points based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and candlestick confirmation. It’s especially useful for traders who use:
Imbalance zones, order blocks, breaker blocks
Liquidity grabs
Multi-timeframe confirmation (MTF)
📈 How to Use the Signals on the Chart
✅ LONG Signal (green triangle below the candle):
Conditions:
Price is in a discount zone (below the FIB 50% level)
A bullish engulfing candle appears
A bullish Order Block (OB) or Breaker Block is detected
There’s an upward imbalance
A bullish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider entering long on the current or next candle.
Place your stop-loss below the OB or the nearest swing low.
Take profit at the nearest liquidity zone or premium area (above FIB 50%).
🔻 SHORT Signal (red triangle above the candle):
Conditions:
Price is in a premium zone (above FIB 50%)
A bearish engulfing candle appears
A bearish OB or Breaker Block is detected
There’s a downward imbalance
A bearish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider short entry after the signal.
Place your stop-loss above the OB or swing high.
Target the discount zone or the next liquidity pocket.
⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation
Enable alerts:
"SMC Long Entry" — fires when a long signal appears.
"SMC Short Entry" — fires when a short signal appears.
You can integrate this with bots via webhook, like:
TradingConnector, 3Commas, Alertatron, etc.
✅ What This Indicator Gives You
High-probability entries using SMC logic
Customizable filters for entry logic
Multi-timeframe confirmation for stronger setups
Suitable for both intraday and swing trading
Puts vs Longs vs Price Oscillator SwiftEdgeWhat is this Indicator?
The "Low-Latency Puts vs Longs vs Price Oscillator" is a custom technical indicator built for TradingView to help traders visualize buying and selling activity in a market without access to order book data. It displays three lines in an oscillator below the price chart:
Green Line (Longs): Represents the strength of buying activity (bullish pressure).
Red Line (Puts): Represents the strength of selling activity (bearish pressure).
Yellow Line (Price): Shows the asset’s price in a scaled format for direct comparison.
The indicator uses price movements, volume, and momentum to estimate when buyers or sellers are active, providing a quick snapshot of market dynamics. It’s optimized for fast response to price changes (low latency), making it useful for both short-term and longer-term trading strategies.
How Does it Work?
Since TradingView doesn’t provide direct access to order book data (which shows real-time buy and sell orders), this indicator approximates buying and selling pressure using commonly available data: price, volume, and a momentum measure called Rate of Change (ROC). Here’s how it combines these elements:
Price Movement: The indicator checks if the price is rising or falling compared to the previous candlestick. A rising price suggests buying (longs), while a falling price suggests selling (puts).
Volume: Volume acts as a "weight" to measure the strength of these price moves. Higher volume during a price increase boosts the green line, while higher volume during a price decrease boosts the red line. This mimics how large orders in an order book would influence the market.
Rate of Change (ROC): ROC measures how fast the price is changing over a set period (e.g., 5 candlesticks). It adds a momentum filter—strong upward momentum reinforces buying signals, while strong downward momentum reinforces selling signals.
These components are calculated for each candlestick and summed over a short lookback period (e.g., 5 candlesticks) to create the green and red lines. The yellow line is simply the asset’s closing price scaled down to fit the oscillator’s range, allowing you to compare buying/selling strength directly with price action.
Why Combine These Elements?
The combination of price, volume, and ROC is intentional and synergistic:
Price alone isn’t enough—it tells you what happened but not how strong the move was.
Volume adds context by showing the intensity behind price changes, much like how order book volume indicates real buying or selling interest.
ROC ensures the indicator captures momentum, filtering out weak or random price moves and focusing on significant trends, similar to how aggressive order execution might appear in an order book.
Together, they create a balanced picture of market activity that’s more reliable than any single factor alone. The goal is to simulate the insights you’d get from an order book—where you’d see buy/sell imbalances—using data available in TradingView.
How to Use It
Setup:
Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView’s Pine Editor by copying and pasting the script.
Adjust the inputs to suit your trading style:
Lookback Period: Number of candlesticks (default 5) to sum buying/selling activity. Shorter = more responsive; longer = smoother.
Price Scale Factor: Scales the yellow price line (default 0.001). Increase for high-priced assets (e.g., 0.01 for indices like DAX) or decrease for low-priced ones (e.g., 0.0001 for crypto).
ROC Period: Candlesticks for momentum calculation (default 5). Shorter = faster response.
ROC Weight: How much momentum affects the signal (default 0.5). Higher = stronger momentum influence.
Volume Threshold: Minimum volume multiplier (default 1.5) to boost signals during high activity.
Reading the Oscillator:
Green Line Above Yellow: Strong buying pressure—price is rising with volume and momentum support. Consider this a bullish signal.
Red Line Above Yellow: Strong selling pressure—price is falling with volume and momentum support. Consider this a bearish signal.
Green/Red Crossovers: When the green line crosses above the red, it suggests buyers are taking control. When the red crosses above the green, sellers may be dominating.
Yellow Line Context: Compare green/red lines to the yellow price line to see if buying/selling strength aligns with price trends.
Trading Examples:
Bullish Setup: Green line spikes above yellow after a price breakout with high volume (e.g., DAX opening jump). Enter a long position if confirmed by other indicators.
Bearish Setup: Red line rises above yellow during a price drop with increasing volume. Look for a short opportunity.
Reversal Warning: If the green line stays high while price (yellow) flattens or drops, it could signal overbought conditions—be cautious.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike traditional oscillators like RSI or MACD, which focus solely on price momentum or trends, this indicator blends price, volume, and momentum into a three-line system that mimics order book dynamics. Its low-latency design (short lookback and no heavy smoothing) makes it react quickly to market shifts, ideal for volatile markets like DAX or forex. The visual separation of buying (green) and selling (red) against price (yellow) offers a clear, intuitive way to spot imbalances without needing complex data.
Tips and Customization
Volatile Markets: Use a shorter lookback (e.g., 3) and ROC period (e.g., 3) for faster signals.
Stable Markets: Increase lookback (e.g., 10) for smoother, less noisy lines.
Scaling: If the green/red lines dwarf the yellow, adjust Price Scale Factor up (e.g., 0.01) to balance them.
Experiment: Test on your asset (stocks, crypto, indices) and tweak inputs to match its behavior.
OG Volume PowerDescription:
The OG Volume Power is an elite-level volume analysis suite built for identifying momentum surges, trend continuation, and buyer/seller imbalances at critical price levels. It combines real-time VWAP tracking, a dynamic Point of Control (POC), and volume delta clusters to give traders a complete picture of price and volume interaction.
🔍 Key Features:
Real-Time VWAP:
Tracks volume-weighted average price to identify mean reversion and intraday fair value zones. Ideal for institutional-level entries and exits.
Dynamic POC (Point of Control):
Automatically finds the price level with the highest volume over the last N candles (default 50), helping traders pinpoint where market participants are most committed.
Buyer/Seller Volume Delta Clusters:
Highlights imbalances between buying and selling pressure using bullish and bearish volume deltas that exceed the 20-bar volume average — excellent for momentum detection and early trend recognition.
⚙️ How It Works:
Green triangle: Buyer surge (bullish delta + above average volume)
Red triangle: Seller surge (bearish delta + above average volume)
Magenta line: Dynamic POC (highest volume price over recent candles)
Orange line: VWAP (acts as a magnetic force for price)
📈 Best For:
Intraday scalping or swing trading on SPY, QQQ, BTC, or Forex
Volume flow confirmation before breakout entries
Filtering false breakouts with delta strength signals
🧠 Pro Tip:
Use OG Volume Power alongside your trend indicators (like OG EMA Stack or OG Supertrend) to confirm that volume is backing the move. Look for surges near VWAP or POC zones for sniper-level entries.
Range Breakout Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects range-bound market conditions and breakout signals using a combination of volatility compression and volume imbalance analysis. It identifies zones where price consolidates within a defined range and highlights potential breakout points with visual markers. Traders can use this to spot market transitions from ranging to trending phases, aiding in decision-making for breakout strategies.
CONCEPTS
The script measures volatility by comparing the ratio of the simple moving average (SMA) of price movements to their median value. When volatility drops below a threshold, the script assumes a range-bound market. It then tracks the cumulative volume of buying and selling pressure to assess breakout strength. The approach is based on the idea that market consolidation often precedes strong moves, and volume distribution can provide clues on the breakout direction.
FEATURES
Range Detection : Uses a volatility filter to identify low-volatility zones and marks them on the chart with shaded boxes.
Volume Imbalance Analysis : Evaluates cumulative up and down volume over a confirmation period to assess directional bias.
Breakout Signals : When price exits a detected range, the script plots breakout markers. A ▲ symbol indicates a bullish breakout, and a ▼ symbol indicates a bearish breakout. Additional "+" markers indicate strong volume imbalance favoring the breakout direction.
Adaptive Timeframe Volume Analysis : The script dynamically adjusts its volume calculation based on the chart’s timeframe, ensuring reliable signal generation across different trading conditions.
Alerts : Notifies traders when a new range is detected or when a breakout occurs, allowing for automated monitoring.
USAGE
Traders can use this script to identify potential trade setups by entering positions when price breaks out of a detected range. For breakout confirmation, traders can look at volume imbalance cues—bullish breakouts with strong buying volume may indicate sustained moves, while weak volume breakouts may lead to false signals. This script is particularly useful for breakout traders, range traders seeking to fade breakouts, and those looking to automate trade alerts in volatile markets.
Volume Delta & Order Block Suite [QuantAlgo]Upgrade your volume analysis and order flow trading with Volume Delta & Order Block Suite by QuantAlgo, a sophisticated technical indicator that leverages advanced volume delta calculations, along with dynamic order block detection to provide deep insights into market participant behavior. By calculating the distribution of volume between buyers and sellers and tracking pivotal volume zones, the indicator helps traders understand the underlying forces driving price movements. It is particularly valuable for those looking to identify high-probability trading opportunities based on volume imbalances and key price levels where significant activity has occurred.
🟢 Technical Foundation
The Volume Delta & Order Block Suite utilizes sophisticated volume analysis techniques to estimate buying and selling pressure within each price candle. The core volume delta calculation employs a formula that estimates buy volume as: Volume × (Close - Low) ÷ (High - Low) , with sell volume calculated as the remainder of total volume. This approach assumes that when price closes near the high of a candle, most volume represents buying pressure, and when price closes near the low, most volume represents selling pressure.
For order block detection, the indicator implements a multi-step process involving volume pivot identification and price state tracking. It first detects significant volume pivot points using the ta.pivothigh function with a user-defined pivot period. It then tracks the market's order state based on whether the high exceeds the highest high or the low falls below the lowest low. When a volume pivot occurs, the indicator creates order blocks based on price levels at that pivot point. These blocks are continuously monitored for invalidation based on subsequent price action.
🟢 Key Features & Signals
1. Volume Delta Representation on Candles
The Volume Delta visualization on candles shows the buy/sell distribution directly on price bars, creating an immediate visual representation of volume pressure.
When buyers are dominant, candles are colored with the bullish theme color (default: green/teal).
Similarly, when sellers are dominant, candles are colored with the bearish theme color (default: red).
This visualization provides immediate insights into underlying volume pressure without requiring separate indicators, helping traders quickly identify which side of the market is in control.
2. Buy/Sell Pressure Information Table
The Volume Analysis Table provides a comprehensive breakdown of volume metrics across multiple timeframes, helping traders identify shifts in market behavior.
The table is organized into four timeframe columns:
Current Volume
1 Bar Before
1 Day Before
1 Week Before
For each timeframe, the table displays:
Buy volume: The estimated buying volume based on price action
Sell volume: The estimated selling volume based on price action
Total volume: The sum of buy and sell volume
Delta: The difference between buy and sell volume (positive when buyers are dominant, negative when sellers are dominant)
Additionally, the table shows both absolute values and percentage distributions, with trend indicators (Up, Down, or Neutral) at the bottom row of each timeframe column.
This multi-timeframe approach helps traders:
→ Identify volume imbalances between buyers and sellers
→ Track changes in volume delta across different periods
→ Compare current conditions with historical patterns
→ Detect potential reversals by watching for shifts in delta direction
The delta values are particularly useful as they provide a clear indication of market dominance – positive delta (Up) when buyers are dominant, and negative delta (Down) when sellers are dominant.
3. Order Blocks and Their Confluence
Order blocks represent significant price zones where volume pivots occur, potentially indicating areas of significant market participant activity.
The indicator identifies two types of order blocks:
Bullish Order Blocks (support): Highlighted with a green/teal color, these represent potential support areas where price might bounce when revisited
Bearish Order Blocks (resistance): Highlighted with a red color, these represent potential resistance areas where price might reverse when revisited
Each order block is visualized as a colored rectangle with a dashed line showing the average price within the block. The blocks are extended to the right until they are invalidated.
Order blocks can serve as key reference points for trading decisions, for example:
Support/resistance identification
Stop loss placement (beyond the opposite edge of the block)
Potential reversal zones
Target areas for profit-taking
When price approaches an order block, traders should look for confluence with the volume delta on candles and the information in the volume analysis table. Strong setups occur when all three components align – for example, when price approaches a bearish order block with increasing sell volume shown on the candles and in the volume table.
🟢 Practical Usage Tips
→ Volume Analysis and Interpretation: The indicator visualizes the buy/sell volume ratio directly on price candles using color intensity, allowing traders to immediately identify which side (buyers or sellers) is dominant. This information helps in assessing the strength behind price movements and potential continuation or reversal signals.
→ Order Block Trading Strategies: The indicator highlights significant price zones where volume pivots occur, marking these as potential support (bullish order blocks) or resistance (bearish order blocks). Traders can use these levels to identify potential reversal points, stop placement, and profit targets.
→ Multi-timeframe Volume Comparison: Through its comprehensive volume analysis table, the indicator enables traders to compare volume patterns across current, recent, daily, and weekly timeframes. This helps in identifying shifts in market behavior and confirming the strength of ongoing trends.
🟢 Pro Tips
Adjust Pivot Period based on your timeframe:
→ Lower values (3-5) for more frequent order blocks
→ Higher values (7-10) for stronger, less frequent order blocks
Fine-tune Mitigation Method based on your trading style:
→ "Wick" for more conservative invalidation
→ "Close" for more lenient order block survival
Look for confluence between components:
→ Strong volume delta in the expected direction when price touches an order block
→ Corresponding patterns in the volume analysis table
→ Overall market context aligning with the expected direction
Use for multiple trading approaches:
→ Support/resistance trading at order blocks
→ Trend confirmation with volume delta
→ Reversal detection when volume delta changes direction
→ Stop loss placement using order block boundaries
Combine with:
→ Trend analysis using trend-following indicators for trade confirmation
→ Multiple timeframe analysis for strategic context
Custom V2 KillZone US / FVG / EMAThis indicator is designed for traders looking to analyze liquidity levels, opportunity zones, and the underlying trend across different trading sessions. Inspired by the ICT methodology, this tool combines analysis of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), session management, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection to provide a structured and disciplined approach to trading effectively.
Indicator Features
Identifying the Underlying Trend with Two EMAs
The indicator uses two EMAs on different, customizable timeframes to define the underlying trend:
EMA1 (default set to a daily timeframe): Represents the primary underlying trend.
EMA2 (default set to a 4-hour timeframe): Helps identify secondary corrections or impulses within the main trend.
These two EMAs allow traders to stay aligned with the market trend by prioritizing trades in the direction of the moving averages. For example, if prices are above both EMAs, the trend is bullish, and long trades are favored.
Analysis of Market Sessions
The indicator divides the day into key trading sessions:
Asian Session
London Session
US Pre-Open Session
Liquidity Kill Session
US Kill Zone Session
Each session is represented by high and low zones as well as mid-lines, allowing traders to visualize liquidity levels reached during these periods. Tracking the price levels in different sessions helps determine whether liquidity levels have been "swept" (taken) or not, which is essential for ICT methodology.
Liquidity Signal ("OK" or "STOP")
A specific signal appears at the end of the "Liquidity Kill" session (just before the "US Kill Zone" session):
"OK" Signal: Indicates that liquidity conditions are favorable for trading the "US Kill Zone" session. This means that liquidity levels have been swept in previous sessions (Asian, London, US Pre-Open), and the market is ready for an opportunity.
"STOP" Signal: Indicates that it is not favorable to trade the "US Kill Zone" session, as certain liquidity conditions have not been met.
The "OK" or "STOP" signal is based on an analysis of the high and low levels from previous sessions, allowing traders to ensure that significant liquidity zones have been reached before considering positions in the "Kill Zone".
Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in the US Kill Zone Session
When an "OK" signal is displayed, the indicator identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVG) during the "US Kill Zone" session. These FVGs are areas where price may return to fill an "imbalance" in the market, making them potential entry points.
Bullish FVG: Detected when there is a bullish imbalance, providing a buying opportunity if conditions align with the underlying trend.
Bearish FVG: Detected when there is a bearish imbalance, providing a selling opportunity in the trend direction.
FVG detection aligns with the ICT Silver Bullet methodology, where these imbalance zones serve as probable entry points during the "US Kill Zone".
How to Use This Indicator
Check the Underlying Trend
Before trading, observe the two EMAs (daily and 4-hour) to understand the general market trend. Trades will be prioritized in the direction indicated by these EMAs.
Monitor Liquidity Signals After the Asian, London, and US Pre-Open Sessions
The high and low levels of each session help determine if liquidity has already been swept in these areas. At the end of the "Liquidity Kill" session, an "OK" or "STOP" label will appear:
"OK" means you can look for trading opportunities in the "US Kill Zone" session.
"STOP" means it is preferable not to take trades in the "US Kill Zone" session.
Look for Opportunities in the US Kill Zone if the Signal is "OK"
When the "OK" label is present, focus on the "US Kill Zone" session. Use the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) as potential entry points for trades based on the ICT methodology. The identified FVGs will appear as colored boxes (bullish or bearish) during this session.
Use ICT Methodology to Manage Your Trades
Follow the FVGs as potential reversal zones in the direction of the trend, and manage your positions according to your personal strategy and the rules of the ICT Silver Bullet method.
Customizable Settings
The indicator includes several customization options to suit the trader's preferences:
EMA: Length, source (close, open, etc.), and timeframe.
Market Sessions: Ability to enable or disable each session, with color and line width settings.
Liquidity Signals: Customization of colors for the "OK" and "STOP" labels.
FVG: Option to display FVGs or not, with customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs, and the number of bars for FVG extension.

Gaps Trend [ChartPrime]The Gaps Trend - ChartPrime indicator is designed to detect Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in the market and apply a trailing stop mechanism based on those gaps. It identifies both bullish and bearish gaps and provides traders with a way to manage trades dynamically as gaps appear. The indicator visually highlights gaps and uses the detected momentum to assess trend direction, helping traders identify price imbalances caused by strong buy or sell pressure.
⯁ KEY FEATURES & HOW TO USE
⯌ Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection :
The indicator automatically detects both bullish and bearish FVGs, identifying gaps between candle highs and lows. Bullish gaps are shown in green, and bearish gaps in purple. These gaps indicate price imbalances driven by strong momentum, such as when there is significant buying or selling pressure.
Use : Traders can use FVG detection to identify periods of high price momentum, offering insight into potential continuation or exhaustion of trends.
⯌ Trailing Stop Feature Based on FVGs :
A core feature of this indicator is the trailing stop mechanism, which adjusts dynamically based on the identified FVGs. When a bullish gap is detected, the trailing stop is placed below the price to capture upward momentum, while bearish gaps result in a trailing stop placed above the price. This feature helps traders stay in trends while protecting profits as the price moves.
Use : The trailing stop follows the momentum of the price, ensuring that traders can stay in profitable trades during strong trends and exit when the momentum shifts.
bullish set up
bearish set up
⯌ Trend Direction Indication :
The indicator colors the chart according to the current trend direction based on the position of the price relative to the trailing stop. Green indicates an uptrend (bullish gap), while purple shows a downtrend (bearish gap). This provides traders with a quick visual assessment of trend direction based on the presence of gaps.
Use : Traders can monitor the chart's color to stay aligned with the market’s trend, staying long during green phases and short during purple ones.
⯌ Gap Size Filtering :
Each detected gap is assigned a numerical ranking based on its size, with larger gaps having higher rankings. The gap size filter allows traders to only display gaps that meet a minimum size threshold, focusing on the most impactful gaps in terms of price movement.
Use : Traders can use the filter to focus on gaps of a certain size, filtering out smaller, less significant gaps. The numerical ranking helps identify the largest and most influential gaps for decision-making.
⯌ FVG Level Visualization :
The indicator can display dashed lines marking the levels of previously filled FVGs. These levels represent areas where price once experienced a gap and later filled it. Monitoring these levels can provide traders with key reference points for potential reactions in price.
Use : Traders can use these gap levels to track where price has filled gaps and potentially use these levels as zones for entry, exit, or assessing market behavior.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Filter Gaps : Adjust the size threshold to filter gaps by their size ranking.
Show Gap Levels : Toggle the display of dashed lines at filled FVG levels.
Enable Trailing Stop : Activate or deactivate the trailing stop feature based on FVGs.
Trailing Stop Length : Set the number of bars used to calculate the trailing stop.
Bullish/Bearish Colors : Customize the colors representing bullish and bearish gaps.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The Gaps Trend indicator combines Fair Value Gap detection with a dynamic trailing stop feature to help traders manage trades during periods of high price momentum. By detecting gaps caused by strong buy or sell pressure and applying adaptive stops, the indicator provides a powerful tool for riding trends and managing risk. The additional ability to filter gaps by size and visualize previously filled gaps enhances its utility for both trend-following and risk management strategies.
FVG Alerts (Vortus)What are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) represent price inefficiencies where buying and selling volumes are imbalanced, creating gaps between the wicks of consecutive candles. These gaps often act as magnets for price, as markets tend to "fill" these gaps before resuming their trend.
FVGs can signal potential entry or exit points, making them a valuable tool for traders looking to exploit these price inefficiencies.
How to Use the Script to Add Alerts:
1. Add the Script to Your Chart:
Load the script into TradingView by pasting it into the Pine Script Editor, then apply it to your chart.
2. Adjust Your Settings:
In the "FVG Settings" section, decide whether you want gaps to be removed after their midpoint or full fill. You can also choose to identify gaps only after a candle has closed, adding a level of confirmation to your strategy.
Customize the colors for Bullish and Bearish FVGs under "Visual Settings" to match your chart's theme.
3. Set Up Your Alerts:
After adding the script to your chart, go to the "Alerts" section in TradingView.
Select either "Bullish FVG Filled" or "Bearish FVG Filled" from the "Condition" dropdown menu.
Configure the alert parameters such as frequency, expiration, and notification method according to your trading strategy.
4. Stay on Top of the Market:
Once set up, the script will automatically notify you when a Fair Value Gap is filled, keeping you informed of potential reversal or continuation opportunities without needing to constantly monitor the charts.
