Market Structure & Liquidity: CHoCHs+Nested Pivots+FVGs+Sweeps//Purpose:
This indicator combines several tools to help traders track and interpret price action/market structure; It can be divided into 4 parts;
1. CHoCHs, 2. Nested Pivot highs & lows, 3. Grade sweeps, 4. FVGs.
This gives the trader a toolkit for determining market structure and shifts in market structure to help determine a bull or bear bias, whether it be short-term, med-term or long-term.
This indicator also helps traders in determining liquidity targets: wether they be voids/gaps (FVGS) or old highs/lows+ typical sweep distances.
Finally, the incorporation of HTF CHoCH levels printing on your LTF chart helps keep the bigger picture in mind and tells traders at a glance if they're above of below Custom HTF CHoCH up or CHoCH down (these HTF CHoCHs can be anything from Hourly up to Monthly).
//Nomenclature:
CHoCH = Change of Character
STH/STL = short-term high or low
MTH/MTL = medium-term high or low
LTH/LTL = long-term high or low
FVG = Fair value gap
CE = consequent encroachement (the midline of a FVG)
~~~ The Four components of this indicator ~~~
1. CHoCHs:
•Best demonstrated in the below charts. This was a method taught to me by @Icecold_crypto. Once a 3 bar fractal pivot gets broken, we count backwards the consecutive higher lows or lower highs, then identify the CHoCH as the opposite end of the candle which ended the consecutive backwards count. This CHoCH (UP or DOWN) then becomes a level to watch, if price passes through it in earnest a trader would consider shifting their bias as market structure is deemed to have shifted.
•HTF CHoCHs: Option to print Higher time frame chochs (default on) of user input HTF. This prints only the last UP choch and only the last DOWN choch from the input HTF. Solid line by default so as to distinguish from local/chart-time CHoCHs. Can be any Higher timeframe you like.
•Show on table: toggle on show table(above/below) option to show in table cells (top right): is price above the latest HTF UP choch, or is price below HTF DOWN choch (or is it sat between the two, in a state of 'uncertainty').
•Most recent CHoCHs which have not been met by price will extend 10 bars into the future.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: SHOW CHOCHS | Set bars lookback number to limit historical Chochs. Set Live CHoCHs number to control the number of active recent chochs unmet by price. Toggle shrink chochs once hit to declutter chart and minimize old chochs to their origin bars. Set Multi-timeframe color override : to make Color choices auto-set to your preference color for each of 1m, 5m, 15m, H, 4H, D, W, M (where up and down are same color, but 'up' icon for up chochs and down icon for down chochs remain printing as normal)
2. Nested Pivot Highs & Lows; aka 'Pivot Highs & Lows (ST/MT/LT)'
•Based on a seperate, longer lookback/lookforward pivot calculation. Identifies Pivot highs and lows with a 'spikeyness' filter (filtering out weak/rounded/unimpressive Pivot highs/lows)
•by 'nested' I mean that the pivot highs are graded based on whether a pivot high sits between two lower pivot highs or vice versa.
--for example: STH = normal pivot. MTH is pivot high with a lower STH on either side. LTH is a pivot high with a lower MTH on either side. Same applies to pivot lows (STL/MTL/LTL)
•This is a useful way to measure the significance of a high or low. Both in terms of how much it might be typically swept by (see later) and what it would imply for HTF bias were we to break through it in earnest (more than just a sweep).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show pivot highs & lows | Bars lookback (historical pivots to show) | Pivots: lookback/lookforward length (determines the scale of your pivot highs/lows) | toggle on/off Apply 'Spikeyness' filter (filters out smooth/unimpressive pivot highs/lows). Set Spikeyness index (determines the strength of this filter if turned on) | Individually toggle on each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL along with their label text type , and size . Toggle on/off line for each of these Pivot highs/lows. | Set label spacer (atr multiples above / below) | set line style and line width
3. Grade Sweeps:
•These are directly related to the nested pivots described above. Most assets will have a typical sweep distance. I've added some of my expected sweeps for various assets in the indicator tooltips.
--i.e. Eur/Usd 10-20-30 pips is a typical 'grade' sweep. S&P HKEX:5 - HKEX:10 is a typical grade sweep.
•Each of the ST/MT/LT pivot highs and lows have optional user defined grade sweep boxes which paint above until filled (or user option for historical filled boxes to remain).
•Numbers entered into sweep input boxes are auto converted into appropriate units (i.e. pips for FX, $ or 'handles' for indices, $ for Crypto. Very low $ units can be input for low unit value crypto altcoins.
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: Show sweep boxes | individually select colors of each of STH, MTH, LTH, STL, MTL, LTL sweep boxes. | Set Grade sweep ($/pips) number for each of ST, MT, LT. This auto converts between pips and $ (i.e. FX vs Indices/Crypto). Can be a float as small or large as you like ($0.000001 to HKEX:1000 ). | Set box text position (horizontal & vertical) and size , and color . | Set Box width (bars) (for non extended/ non-auto-terminating at price boxes). | toggle on/off Extend boxes/lines right . | Toggle on/off Shrink Grade sweeps on fill (they will disappear in realtime when filled/passed through)
4. FVGs:
•Fair Value gaps. Represent 'naked' candle bodies where the wicks to either side do not meet, forming a 'gap' of sorts which has a tendency to fill, or at least to fill to midline (CE).
•These are ICT concepts. 'UP' FVGS are known as BISIs (Buyside imbalance, sellside inefficiency); 'DOWN' FVGs are known as SIBIs (Sellside imbalance, buyside inefficiency).
• USER INPUTS: overall setting: show FVGs | Bars lookback (history). | Choose to display: 'UP' FVGs (BISI) and/or 'DOWN FVGs (SIBI) . Choose to display the midline: CE , the color and the line style . Choose threshold: use CE (as opposed to Full Fill) |toggle on/off Shrink FVG on fill (CE hit or Full fill) (declutter chart/see backtesting history)
////••Alerts (general notes & cautionary notes)::
•Alerts are optional for most of the levels printed by this indicator. Set them via the three dots on indicator status line.
•Due to dynamic repainting of levels, alerts should be used with caution. Best use these alerts either for Higher time frame levels, or when closely monitoring price.
--E.g. You may set an alert for down-fill of the latest FVG below; but price will keep marching up; form a newer/higher FVG, and the alert will trigger on THAT FVG being down-filled (not the original)
•Available Alerts:
-FVG(BISI) cross above threshold(CE or full-fill; user choice). Same with FVG(SIBI).
-HTF last CHoCH down, cross below | HTF last CHoCH up, cross above.
-last CHoCH down, cross below | last CHoCH up, cross above.
-LTH cross above, MTH cross above, STH cross above | LTL cross below, MTL cross below, STL cross below.
////••Formatting (general)::
•all table text color is set from the 'Pivot highs & Lows (ST, MT, LT)' section (for those of you who prefer black backgrounds).
•User choice of Line-style, line color, line width. Same with Boxes. Icon choice for chochs. Char or label text choices for ST/MT/LT pivot highs & lows.
////••User Inputs (general):
•Each of the 4 components of this indicator can be easily toggled on/off independently.
•Quite a lot of options and toggle boxes, as described in full above. Please take your time and read through all the tooltips (hover over '!' icon) to get an idea of formatting options.
•Several Lookback periods defined in bars to control how much history is shown for each of the 4 components of this indicator.
•'Shrink on fill' settings on FVGs and CHoCHs: Basically a way to declutter chart; toggle on/off depending on if you're backtesting or reading live price action.
•Table Display: applies to ST/MT/LT pivot highs and to HTF CHoCHs; Toggle table on or off (in part or in full)
////••Credits:
•Credit to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) for some of the concepts used in this indicator (FVGS & CEs; Grade sweeps).
•Credit to @Icecold_crypto for the specific and novel concept of identifying CHoCHs in a simple, objective and effective manner (as demonstrated in the 1st chart below).

Overview
Equilibrium is a tool designed to measure the buying & selling pressure in the market. It is depicted as a “pressure gauge” that automatically adjusts as new candles are formed, providing a real-time indication of who's on top right now, buyers or sellers?
Background
Supply & demand is considered to be the main driving force of our modern economies, where the interaction between the two parties(sellers & buyers) leads to the determination of the fair price for a given product. Stock markets are no exception, they operate very much based around the idea of supply & demand.
In simple terms, supply refers to the availability of a product, and demand is the willingness of consumers to buy that product at a given price. It is obvious that different vendors may sell the same product at slightly different prices, and similarly, different customers may choose to buy the same product from different vendors at varying prices. The idea is that the price is allowed to fluctuate from time to time, but in a free & fair market, the price will eventually settle down to a value that makes both the parties happy. Such a state is known as the “Price-Equilibrium”, and this process is also referred to as the market mechanism.
This is the basic assumption around which this tool is based, the market is always trying to move towards a state of equilibrium.
Calculations
This tool takes a simplistic approach to estimate the degree of imbalance between buyers & sellers, here’s a brief summary of how the pressure is calculated:
- We compute the total lengths of red & green candles for a given period, i.e. price range multiplied by the volume for that candle.
- Then the distribution of each type of candle is calculated.
- Assuming more red candles denote more selling pressure, and green candles denote buying pressure, the gauge is populated cell by cell.
- As the pressure on one side increases, the intensity of the cell color also increases, signifying the extent to which one side is dominating.
How to use it
- The indicator is designed as a pressure gauge that moves up(vertical alignment) or to the right(horizontal alignment) as the buying pressure increases, and moves down or to the left as the selling pressure increases. How it is to be used & applied, that completely depends on your trading methodology. But, the general idea is that we expect the market to be in a state of equilibrium, and if that is not the case the tool will highlight that, and this is also where the opportunity lies to find suitable trades.
- Just by having an idea about who’s dominating the market currently, a trader can also pick sides wisely. Remember, the market is always striving to come back a state of equilibrium, and a slight imbalance can indicate the current trend, and more importantly, who’s more likely to make the next move.
User Settings
The tool offers some minimal configurations for the end user:
- You can choose to display the actual percentage value in the gauge(Show Text).
- You can adjust colors that denote buyers & sellers.
- You can change the layout of gauge, default is vertical(right side of the screen).
- Last, and most important, you can adjust the number of candles to traverse for calculating the pressure. Default is 50, can go upto 1000.
Trail Blaze - (Multi Function Trailing Stop Loss) - [mutantdog]Shorter version:
As the title states, this is a 'Trailing Stop' type indicator, albeit one with a whole bunch of additional functionality, making it far more versatile and customisable than a standard trailing stop.
The main set of features includes:
Three independent trailing types each with their own +/- multipliers:
- Standard % change
- ATR (aka Supertrend)
- IQR (inter-quartile range)
These can be used in isolation or summed together. A subsequent pair of direction specific multipliers are also included.
Two separate custom source inputs are available, both feature the standard options alongside a selection of 'weighted inputs' and the option to use another indicator (selected via 'AUX'):
- 'Centre' determines the value about which the trailing sum will be added to define the stop level.
- 'Trigger' determines the value used for crossing of stops, initiating trend changes and triggering alerts.
A selection of optional filters and moving averages are available for both.
Furthermore there are various useful visualisation options available, including the underlying bands that govern the stop levels. Preset alerts for trend reversals are also included.
This is not really an 'out-of-the-box' indicator. Depending upon the market and timeframe some adjustments will be necessary for it to function in a useful manner, these can be as simple or complex as the feature-set allows. Basic settings are easy to dial in however and the default state is intended as a good starting point. Alternatively with some experimentation, a plethora of unique and creative configurations are possible, making this a great tool for tweaking. Below is a more detailed overview followed by a bunch of simple example settings.
------------------------
Lengthy Version :
DESIGN & CONCEPT
Before we start breaking this down, a little background. This started off as an attempt to improve upon the ever-popular Supertrend indicator. Of course there are many excellent user created variants available utilising some interesting methods to overcome the drawbacks of the basic version. To that end, rather than copying the work of others, the direction here shifted towards a hybrid trailing stop loss with a bunch of additional user customisation options. At some point, a completely different project involving IQR got morphed into this one. After sitting through months of sideways chop (where this proved to be of limited use), at the time of publication the market has began to form some near term trend direction and it appears to be performing well in many different timeframes.
And so with that out of the way...
INPUTS
The standard Supertrend (and most other variants) includes a single source input, as default set to 'hl2' (candle mid-range). This is the centre around which the atr bands are added/subtracted to govern the stop levels. This is not however the value which is used to trigger the trend reversal, that is usually hard-coded to 'close'. For this version both source values are adjustable: labelled 'centre' and 'trigger' respectively.
Each has custom input selectors including the usual options, a selection of 'weighted inputs' and the option to use another indicator (selected from the Aux input). The 'weighted inputs' are those introduced in Weight Gain 4000, for more details please refer to that listing. These should be treated as experimental, however may prove useful in certain configurations. In this case 'hl-oc2' can be considered an estimate of the candle median and may be a good alternative to the default 'centre' setting of 'hl2', in contrast 'cc-ohlc4' can tend to favour the extremes in the trend direction so could be useful as a faster 'trigger' than the default 'close'.
To cap them off both come with a selection of moving average filters (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, HMA, VWMA and a simple VWEMA - note: not elastic) aswell as median and mid-range. 'Centre' can also be set to the output of 'trigger' post-filter which can be useful if working with fast/slow crosses as the basis.
DYNAMICS
This is the main section, comprised of three separate factors: 'TSL', 'ATR' and 'IQR'. The first two should be fairly obvious, 'TSL' (trailing stop loss) is simply a percentage of the 'centre' value while 'ATR' (average true range) is the standard RMA-based version as used in Supertrend, Volatility Stop etc.
The third factor is less common however: 'IQR' (inter-quartile range). In case you are unfamiliar the principle here is, for a given dataset, the greatest 25% and smallest 25% of samples are removed. The remainder is then treated as a set and the range is calculated by highest - lowest. This is a commonly used method in statistical analysis, by removing the extremes it is less prone to influence by outliers and gives a good representation of the main dispersion around the median. In practise i have found it can be a good alternative to ATR, translating better across multiple time-frames due to it representing a fraction of the total range rather than an average of per-candle range like ATR. Used in combination with the others it can also add a factor more representative of longer-term/higher-timeframe trend. By discarding outliers it also benefits from not being impacted by brief pumps/volatility, instead responding only to more sustained changes in trend, such as rallies and parabolic moves. In order to give an accurate result the IQR is calculated using a dataset of high, low and hlcc4 values for all bars within the lookback length. Once calculated this value is then halved which, strictly speaking, makes it a semi-interquartile range.
All three of these components can be used individually or summed together to create a hybrid dynamics factor. Furthermore each multiplier can be set to both positive and negative values allowing for some interesting and creative possibilities. An optional smoothing filter can be applied to the sum, this is a basic SWMA-4 which is can reduce the impact of sudden changes but does incur a noticeable lag. Finally, a basic limiter condition has been hard-coded here to prevent the sum total from ever going below zero.
Capping off this section is a pair of direction multipliers. These simply take the prior dynamics sum and allow for further multiplication applied only to one side (uptrend/lo-stop and downtrend/hi-stop). To see why this is useful consider that markets often behave differently in each direction, we've all seen prices steadily climb over several weeks and then abruptly dump in the process of a day or two, shorter time frames are no stranger to this either. A lack of downside liquidity, a panicked market, aggressive shorts. All these things contribute to significant differences in downward price action. This function allows for tighter stops in one direction compared to the other to reflect this imbalance.
VISUALISATIONS
With all of these options and possibilities, some visual aids are useful. Beneath the dynamics' section are several visual options including both sources post-filter and the actual 'bands' created by the dynamics. These are what govern the stop levels and seeing them in full can help to better understand what our various configurations actually do. We can even hide the stop levels altogether and just use the bands, making this a kind of expanded Keltner Channel. Here we can also find colour and opacity settings for everything we've discussed.
EXAMPLES
The obvious first example here is the standard %-change trailing stop loss which, from my experience, tends to be the best suited for lower time frames. Filtering should probably minimal here. In both charts here we use the default config for source inputs, the top is a standard bi-directional setup with 1.5% tsl while the bottom uses a 2.5% tsl with the histop multiplier reduced to 0 resulting in an uptrend only stoploss.
Shown here in grey is the standard Supertrend which uses 'hl2' as centre and 'close' as trigger, ATR(10) multiplied by 3. On top we have the default filtered source config with ATR(8) multiplied by 2 which gives a different yet functionally similar result, below is the same source config instead using IQR(12) multiplied by 2. Notice here the more 'stepped' response from IQR following the central rally, holding back for a while before closing in on price and ultimately initiating reversal much sooner. Unlike ATR, the length parameter for IQR is absolute and can more significantly affect its responsiveness.
Next we focus on the visualisation options, on top we have the default source config with ATR(8) multiplied by 2 and IQR(12) multiplied by 1. Here we have activated the switch to show 'bands', from this we can see the actual summed dynamics and how it influences the stop levels. Below that we have an altogether different config utilising the included filters which are now visible. In this example we have created a basic 8/21 EMA cross and set a 1% TSL, notice the brief fakeout in the middle which ordinarily might indicate a buy signal. Here the TSL functions as an additional requirement which in this case is not met and thus no buy signal is given.
Finally we have a couple of more 'experimental' examples. On top we have Lazybear's 'Variable Moving Average' in white which has been assigned via 'aux' as the centre with no additional filtering, the default config for trigger is used here and a basic TSL of 1.5% added. It's a simple example but it shows how this can be applied to other indicators. At the bottom we return to the default source config, combining a TSL of 8% with IQR(24) multiplied by -2. Note here the negative IQR with greater length which causes the stop to close in on price following significant deviations while otherwise remaining fairly wide. Combining positive and negative multiples of each factor can yield mixed results, some more useful than others depending upon suitable market conditions.
Since this has been quite lengthy, i shall leave it there. Suffice to say that there are plenty more ways to use this besides these examples. Please feel free to share any of your own ideas in the comments below. Enjoy.

ProConcepts (v-1.0.2)ProConcepts is a smart moeny concepts indicator that has several primary functions and features.
BOS Feature: BOS stands for break of structure and this is used to determine market structure support and resistance breakouts. The blue and red lines plot the pivot highs and lows on every time frame. When a trend is in a single direction and BOS appears, that is a strong sign that market structure is broken and the trend will continue.
CHOCH Feature: Similar to BOS the change of character feature is also a smart money concept where in a trend, CHOCH essentially is used to help determine a change of that trend with a low being violated in an uptrend or a high being violated in a downtrend. CHOCH is what determines the high lows of the trend.
Shaded Candle Feature: The candles are shaded either red or blue based on the trend. the CHOCH as discussed previously determines the trend and shades the candles blue and red according to the highs and lows.
Sessions Shading Feature: The background shading with lower opacity indicates a sessions feature that seperates the main trading sessions of the day, London, Asia, and New York. They are color coordinated and can be changed to fit your needs as a trader.
FVG Feature: FVG stands for fair value gap which is an area on the chart where there is a single directional movement either bullish for the blue FVG and bearish for the red FVG. These fvgs are strong areas of interest for rejections of price because they are agressive movements similar to an imbalance. The FVG should be used as a retest confirmation of a trend during a breakout of the BOS or a CHOCH.
High Low Feature: Disabled on the default chart is a a high low feature that marks all of the high lows of a trend so you can identify areas of support and resistance.
DD Nifty Zone MarkerDear Investor / Trader,

coates moving averages (cma)This indicator uses three moving averages:
2 period low simple ma
2 period high simple ma
9 period least squares ma
The trend is determined by the angle of the moving averages, current close relative the the 9 least squares ma (lsm) and the current close relative to the prior two periods high and low.
When there are consecutive closes inside the prior two candles high and low then a range is signaled:
In ranges the buy zone is between the lowest low and the lowest close of the current range. The sell zone is between the highest high and the highest close. The zones are adjusted as long as the new close is within the prior two candles range:
When price closes above the 2 high ma and the 9 lsm then a bull trend is signaled if all moving averages are angled upward (as seen at #4 in the chart above and #1 the chart below ). If the 9 lsm and / or the 2 low ma continue to angle downward, following a close above the 2 high ma and 9 lsm, then a prolonged range or reversal is expected (#2 in the chart below):
During a bull trend the buy zone is between the 2 low ma and the 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 high ma:
During dip buying opportunities price should resist closing below the 9 lsm. If there is one close below the 9 lsm then it is a canary in the coalmine that tells us to proceed with caution. This will often signal a range, based on the conditions outlined above. To avoid a prolonged range, or reversal, price needs to immediately react in the direction of the prevailing trend:
If the moving averages are angled down and the most recent close is below the 2 low ma and 9 lsm then trend is fully bearish:
During a bear trend the short zone is between the 2 high ma and 9 lsm. The profit target is the 2 low ma:
When the 2 high ma angles down and the 2 low ma angles up while price closes inside both mas then it indicates a cma squeeze:
Volatility is expected in the direction of the breakout following the squeeze. In this situation traps / shakeouts are common. If there is a wick outside the cma, with a close inside, then it indicates a trap / shakeout. If there is a close outside the 2 high / low ma then it signals a breakout.
A trend is considered balanced when the 9 lsm is roughly equidistant from the 2 low and 2 high mas. If the 9 lsm crosses the 2 high or 2 low ma then it signals exhaustion / imbalance.
For a stop loss I use the prior three periods low, for bull trends, and the prior three periods high for bear trends. I would expect other reliable stops, such as the parabolic sar or bill williams fractal, to be effective as well. The default moving averages should be very effective on all timeframes and assets classes, however this indicator was developed for bitcoin with a focus on higher timeframes such as the 4h, daily and weekly.
As with any other technical indicator there will be bad signals. Proceed with caution and never risk more than you are willing to lose.

Novice Hedge Zone MarkerDear Investor / Trader,
Novice Hedge Zone Marker is a flag to identify the Supply and Demand zones.
I have coded the flag in such a way when there is an imbalance between the buyer and the seller, the flag is triggered.
There are 2 type of candle.
Equilibrium Candle (E-Candle):
They imply that transactions are happening in a range thus Buyer and Seller are in balance
Candle with Body Range <= 50% of Candle Range
Im-Balance Candle (IB-Candle):
They imply imbalance between Buyer and Seller thus price starts moving either up or down
Candle with Body Range > 50% of Candle Range
Demand Zone Formation (DZ):
1. Reversal Pattern – RED IB Candle - > BLUE E Candle - > GREEN IB Candle
2. Continuous Pattern – GREEN IB Candle - > BLUE E Candle - > GREEN IB Candle
Supply Zone Formation (SZ):

Counters RatioCounters Ratio
This is an oscillator like indicator.
Bubbles are used to show the intensity with which buyers overtake sellers or vice-versa.
Bigger bubbles would indicate an oversold or overbought condition, when there is more imbalance between sell volume and buy volume .
They may appear sometimes on low volume - this may be a weak overbought or oversold indication.
The big bubbles that appear on significant volume could be used to find divergences with price.
Multiple instances of the indicator can be combined to get a bigger picture.
In the indicator's settings, a ratio limit can be set for the overbought or oversold condition.
Alerts for counters imbalance can be set to fire whenever the condition is satisfied.

S&R ZonesThis indicator automatically detects swing highs and swing lows on the chart using a 3-bar swing structure. Once a swing point is confirmed, it evaluates the price movement and body size of subsequent candles. If the movement meets a volume-based range condition (2.5× the average body size of the last 5 candles), the indicator creates a zone around that swing.
Swing High Zones: Drawn from the highest price of the swing cluster down to its midpoint.
Swing Low Zones: Drawn from the lowest price of the swing cluster up to its midpoint.
These zones act as dynamic support and resistance levels and remain on the chart until they are either:
Broken (price closes beyond the zone), or
Expired (more than 200 bars old).
Zones are color-coded for clarity:
🔴 Red shaded areas = Swing High resistance zones.
🟢 Green shaded areas = Swing Low support zones.
This makes the indicator useful for identifying high-probability reversal areas, liquidity zones, and supply/demand imbalances that persist until invalidated.

Best for: Identifying potential reversal or continuation signals at key support and resistance levels.
2. FVG (Fair Value Gap) with Auto-Mitigation
What it does: Detects price imbalances created by strong buying or selling pressure and draws them as price zones.
Special Feature: When the price returns to "fill" or mitigate the gap, the FVG box is automatically deleted from the chart. This keeps the chart clean and displays only the currently relevant zones.
Best for: Identifying key support and resistance zones where the price is likely to return and react.
3. VWAP and Standard Deviation Bands
What it does: Displays the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) line, which is the average price weighted by volume, along with Standard Deviation Bands.
Customization: The VWAP calculation can be anchored to reset every Session (Day), Week, Month, or Year.
Best for: Determining the intraday trend, identifying "fair value" zones, and serving as significant support and resistance levels.
4. Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse)
What it does: Plots dots on the chart that trail the price to indicate trend direction.
Application:
Dots below price: Indicate an uptrend.
Dots above price: Indicate a downtrend.
Best for: Confirming trend direction and providing dynamic Trailing Stop points to protect profits.
5. 3 Customizable EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages)
What it does: Displays three separate EMA lines, which are powerful, fundamental tools for trend analysis.
Customization: The Length and Color of each of the three EMAs can be fully customized.
Best for: Confirming trend strength, identifying pullback entry opportunities, and acting as dynamic support and resistance.

SSMT Divergence (Quarterly Theory) [TakingProphets]SSMT (Quarterly Theory)
Overview
SSMT (Sequential SMT) is an ICT-based tool designed to detect real-time intermarket divergence based on the Sequential SMT model popularized by Trader Daye and FearingICT.
It leverages Quarterly Theory, a core ICT concept, to break the trading day into time-based quarters and scans for divergences across Daily, 90-minute, and Micro-session cycles. The indicator updates continuously in real time, allowing you to spot liquidity grabs, manipulation plays, and directional imbalances the moment they occur.
Rooted in Quarterly Theory 📐
-Built on ICT’s Quarterly Theory, the model segments the trading day into predictable phases of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution.
Daily Quarters (4 per day):
Q1: 18:00 – 00:00 ET
Q2: 00:00 – 06:00 ET
Q3: 06:00 – 12:00 ET
Q4: 12:00 – 18:00 ET
-90-Minute Quarters: Splits Asia, London, NY-AM, and NY-PM into structured liquidity windows.
-Micro Quarters: Offers an even finer breakdown of each session, perfect for precision scalping.
-By aligning SMT detection with ICT’s time-based framework, this indicator delivers accurate timing context around when institutional liquidity shifts are most likely.
Real-Time SMT Detection ⚡
-Unlike static divergence tools, SSMT reacts instantly:
-Monitors your instrument and a correlated symbol tick by tick.
-Tracks current vs. previous highs/lows within the active quarter.
-Compares live price behavior against the correlated asset.
-Draws divergence lines and labels as soon as SMT forms:
-Bullish SMT → Your market forms a higher low while the correlated asset does not.
-Bearish SMT → Your market forms a lower high while the correlated asset does not.
-Divergence lines and labels update in real time, keeping your chart accurate and contextually aligned with ICT principles.
Key Features
Three SMT Cycles in One Tool
-Daily → Perfect for swing traders tracking higher-timeframe liquidity events.
-Ninety (90-Minute) → Ideal for intraday setups and session-specific SMTs.
-Micro → Highly detailed for scalpers timing manipulative sweeps.
Per-Cycle Customization
-Toggle Daily, 90-Minute, and Micro SMT independently.
-Fully customize line colors, widths, styles, and optional session boxes.
-Smart Auto-Labeling
-Labels display the correlated symbol automatically (“SMT w/ES” by default).
-Divergence lines persist historically beyond quarter boundaries for added confluence.
-Instant Style Updates
-All active and historical SMT drawings update immediately when customizing colors, widths, or line styles.
Practical Use Cases
-Scalpers → Spot micro-level SMTs for high-precision entries.
-Day Traders → Track real-time divergences within Asia, London, and New York sessions.
-Swing Traders → Combine Daily SMT signals with ICT-based HTF POIs for optimal confluence.
-ICT Traders → Designed around ICT’s teachings, popularized by Trader Daye and FearingICT, giving you a visual framework to apply their methods seamlessly.

It automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on multiple timeframes, along with key PDH/PDL (Daily Previous) and PWH/PWL (Weekly Previous) levels.
🔹 Key Features
Automatic detection of bullish and bearish FVGs
Multi-timeframe (M5 to D1)
PDH/PDL and PWH/PWL levels with lightning bolts
Configurable alerts when tapping on a FVG
Customizable colors, thicknesses, and automatic clearing.
💡 Ideal for traders who use Price Action and SMC to identify imbalances and high-probability zones.
High Time Frame FVG [TakingProphets]HTF FVG
The HTF FVG indicator is built for traders who want a clean, multi-timeframe view of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) without manually flipping charts. It automatically detects unmitigated FVGs across up to five higher timeframes and overlays them directly on your active chart, keeping your execution bias aligned with higher-timeframe liquidity.
✨ What it does
📌 Multi-timeframe mapping – Detects and plots bullish/bearish FVGs across up to 5 custom HTFs + your current chart.
🧩 Auto-labeling – Each gap is tagged with its originating timeframe (e.g., M5, H1, D1).
🔄 Live updates – FVGs extend forward in time and are automatically removed once mitigated based on your plan.
🟢 Inverse FVGs (optional) – Highlight “inverse gaps” for traders who utilize them in reversal models.
🎯 Consequent Encroachment lines – Enable mid-gap CE levels for precision-based trade management.
⚡ Optimized performance – Built with array management, capped lookback periods, and per-timeframe limits for smooth charting.
🛠️ How it works
Fair Value Gaps are detected using a 3-candle structure:
Bullish FVG → the high of two candles ago is below the low of the prior candle.
Bearish FVG → the low of two candles ago is above the high of the prior candle.
For each selected timeframe:
When an FVG forms, a box is drawn from the gap boundaries and extended forward by a configurable number of bars.
If price closes into the gap on its originating timeframe, the box is automatically removed.
If Consequent Encroachment is enabled, a mid-gap line is plotted for refined targeting.
When multiple gaps exist per side, only the closest unmitigated one remains highlighted for clarity.
⚙️ Inputs & customization
Detection Sensitivity → High / Medium / Low
Lookback Period → 1 Day / 1 Week / 1 Month / Max
Extend Gaps → Add extra forward bars beyond the originating candle.
Show Consequent Encroachment → Toggle CE midlines on/off.
Show Inverse FVGs → Mark inverted gaps for advanced models.
Custom HTFs → Choose up to 5 timeframes to map onto your execution chart.
Appearance Settings → Configure colors, transparency, label size, and gap boundary styles.
📈 Practical tips
Use smaller execution timeframes (e.g., 1m–5m) and overlay multiple HTFs (e.g., M15, H1, H4, D1).
Watch for stacked HTF FVGs in the same price zone — these often create higher-probability draw areas.
Pair CE midlines with session timing, PD arrays, and liquidity concepts to refine entries.
Limit your lookback period and max stored FVGs for better performance during volatile sessions.
📌 Notes
This tool does not generate buy/sell signals. It’s a context mapping utility to help align your trading plan with higher-timeframe structure.
Weekend gaps are automatically filtered out to reduce false positives.

Trojan Cycle: Dip & Profit Hunter📉 Crypto is changing. Your signals should too.
This script doesn’t try to outguess price — it helps you track capital rotation and flow behavior in alignment with the evolving macro structure of the digital asset market.
Trojan Cycle: Dip & Profit Hunter is a signal engine built to support and validate the capital rotation models outlined in the Trojan Cycle and Synthetic Rotation theses — available via RWCS_LTD’s published charts
It is not a classic “buy low, sell high” tool. It is a structural filter that uses price/volume statistics to surface accumulation zones, synthetic traps, and macro context shifts — all aligned with the institutionalization of crypto post-2024.
🧠 Purpose & Value
Crypto no longer follows the retail-led, halving-driven pattern of 2017 or 2021.
Instead, institutional infrastructure, regulatory filters, and equity-market Trojan horses define the new path of capital.
This tool helps you visualize that path by interpreting behavior through statistical imbalances and real-time momentum signals.
Use it to:
Track where capital is accumulating or exiting
Identify signals consistent with true cycle rotation (vs. synthetic traps)
Validate your macro view with real-time statistical context
🔍 How It Works
The engine combines four signal layers:
1. Z-Score Logic
- Measures how far price and volume have deviated from their mean
- Detects dips, blowoffs, and exhaustion zones
2. Percentile Logic
- Compares current price and volume to historical rank distribution
- Flags statistically rare conditions (e.g. bottom 10% price, top 90% volume)
3. Combined Context Engine
- Integrates both models to generate one of 36 unique output states
- Each state provides a labeled market context (e.g., 🟢 Confluent Buy, 🔴 Confluent Sell, 🧨 Synthetic Trap )
4. Momentum Spread & Divergence
- Measures whether price is leading volume (trap risk) or volume is leading price (accumulation)
- Outputs intuitive momentum context with emoji-coded alerts
📋 What You See
🧠 Contextual Table UI with key Z-Scores, percentiles, signals, and market commentary
🎯 Emoji-coded signals to quickly grasp high-probability setups or risk zones
🌊 Optional overlays: price/volume divergence, momentum spread
🎨 Visual table customization (size, position) and chart highlights for signal clarity
🔔 Alert System
✅ Single dynamic alert using alert() that only fires when signal context changes
Prevents alert fatigue and allows clean webhook/automation integration
🧭 Use Cases
For macro cycle traders: Track where we are in the Trojan Cycle using statistical context
For thesis explorers: Use the 36-output signal map to match against your rotation thesis
For capital rotation watchers: Identify structural setups consistent with ETF-driven or compliance-filtered flow
For narrative skeptics: Avoid synthetic altseason traps where volume lags or flow dries up
🧪 Suggested Pairing for Thesis Validation
To use this tool as part of a thesis-confirmation framework , pair it with:
BTC.D — Bitcoin Dominance
ETH/BTC — Ethereum strength vs. Bitcoin
TOTALE100/ETH — Altcoin strength relative to ETH
RWCS_LTD’s published charts and macro cycle models
🏁 Final Note
Crypto has matured. So should your signals.
This tool doesn’t try to game the next 2 candles. It helps you understand the current phase in a compliance-filtered, institutionalized rotation model.
It’s not built for hype — it’s built for conviction.
Explore the thesis → Validate the structure → Trade with clarity.
🚨 Disclaimer
This script is not financial advice. It is an analytical tool designed to support market structure research and rotation thesis validation. Use this as part of a broader framework including technical structure, dominance charts, and macro data.
AI A++ Liquidity Sweep FVGThat is a critical question. For the "AI A++ Liqu-idity Sweep FVG" indicator to work exactly as designed, you must have your chart set to the:
1-Minute (1m) Timeframe
The Reason:
The logic of the script is built to analyze the very specific, rapid price action that occurs in the first few minutes of the New York session open.
FVG Detection: A Fair Value Gap is a three-candle pattern. On the 1-minute chart, this allows us to see the rapid imbalances created by the opening burst of volume. On a higher timeframe like the 5-minute or 15-minute, these subtle but powerful gaps would be smoothed over and might not even be visible.
Liquidity Sweep Precision: The script is looking for a quick "stop hunt" that pierces the pre-market high or low and then immediately reverses. This action is most clearly and accurately seen on the 1-minute chart.
Using any other timeframe will cause the indicator to analyze the market incorrectly and either miss valid setups or provide false signals.
So, to confirm your setup for Monday morning:
Instrument: MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures)
Timeframe: 1-Minute
Indicator: "AI A++ Liquidity Sweep FVG" active on the chart.
Alert: Alert set up for the indicator.
You are now perfectly set up to catch the exact A++ setup we are waiting for.
Smart Money SignalsSmart Money Signals – Market Flow & Structure Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Signals is a precision trading tool designed for traders who want to see market structure and momentum flow in real time. By detecting pivots, momentum imbalances, and dynamic support/resistance levels, the indicator transforms raw price action into a clear visual narrative of where capital is entering and exiting the market.
Instead of lagging averages or cluttered signals, Smart Money Signals highlights the moments that matter most—where bullish and bearish flows are confirmed, where support or resistance breaks, and where momentum zones show the true battleground between buyers and sellers. Its adaptive design makes it equally effective for scalpers seeking sharp entries, swing traders tracking reversals, and longer-term traders looking for confirmation of bias.
How It Works
The engine behind Smart Money Signals relies on swing detection and a configurable sensitivity filter. By monitoring directional momentum across recent bars, the system identifies bullish pivots (where downside exhaustion flips into strength) and bearish pivots (where upward thrust collapses into weakness).
When price confirms a pivot, the indicator draws flow lines to mark the breakout and labels them as either continuation or reversal events, depending on existing market bias. Momentum zones are automatically plotted, highlighting the critical areas where buyers defended price or sellers pressed it lower.
Dynamic support and resistance levels extend forward in time, updating live as price develops. These zones change color when broken, visually signaling whether structure has held or failed. Gradient background shading further emphasizes moments of extreme momentum, such as overbought or oversold surges, so that traders instantly see when market pressure intensifies.
Signals and Market Flows
Smart Money Signals provides visual cues that are both intuitive and actionable:
📈 Bullish Flow Signals appear when price breaks above a confirmed pivot, signaling continuation or reversal into strength.
📉 Bearish Flow Signals appear when price breaks below a confirmed pivot, indicating continuation or reversal into weakness.
Momentum Zones highlight the defended areas between pivots, giving traders a visual map of where structure is strongest.
Dynamic Support & Resistance lines extend across the chart, shifting from defense to failure when broken, ensuring that the most relevant levels are always visible.
Break Signals mark the exact bar where key levels give way, confirming structural violations in real time.
By filtering out noise and focusing on meaningful flow events, the system helps traders avoid overreaction and focus only on high-probability structural shifts.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Signals is versatile across trading styles:
Trend Continuation : Enter in the direction of flow signals, using dynamic zones as both confirmation and stop-loss placement.
Reversal Trading : Watch for pivots tagged as reversal points, where market bias flips and new structure is created.
Momentum Zone Entries : Use the automatically drawn zones to identify low-risk entries on pullbacks or retests.
Bias Alignment : The integrated dashboard reveals the current market bias—bullish, bearish, or neutral—helping traders stay aligned with the dominant flow.
Stop-losses can be positioned beyond the dynamic zone on the opposite side, while take-profits may be guided by the width of zones or momentum-driven extensions. On higher timeframes, the indicator provides context for macro structure, while lower timeframes allow for tactical entry refinement.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking deeper precision can combine Smart Money Signals with volume or order flow tools to validate pivots and zone defenses. Monitoring the sequence of bullish and bearish flows helps identify trend maturity, while analyzing the success rate of pivots in the analytics panel builds a data-driven approach to confidence in signals.
Adjusting swing period and sensitivity allows the indicator to adapt to different market conditions, from volatile crypto pairs to steady forex majors. The flexible visual themes—Cyber, Ocean, Sunset, Matrix—ensure readability across setups, while gradient shading keeps the chart intuitive even under fast-moving conditions.
Why Use Smart Money Signals
Markets are driven by liquidity, momentum, and structure. Smart Money Signals uncovers these forces by translating price action into a clear visual map of flow. It shows:
Where structure was built.
Where it was defended.
Where it was broken.
And where momentum is likely to carry next.
By combining flow detection, dynamic zones, and a live analytics dashboard, the indicator provides traders with a complete framework for reading price action in real time.
Whether you trade crypto, forex, or indices, Smart Money Signals adapts seamlessly to any asset class, giving you clarity, precision, and confidence to execute without second-guessing.
VSA Signals [odnac]This indicator applies Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) concepts to highlight important supply and demand events directly on the chart. It automatically detects common VSA patterns using price spread, relative volume, and candle structure, with optional trend filtering for higher accuracy.
Features:
Stopping Volume (SV): Signals potential end of a downtrend when heavy buying appears.
Buying Climax (BC): Indicates exhaustion of an uptrend with heavy volume near the top.
No Supply (NS): Weak selling pressure, often a bullish sign in an uptrend.
No Demand (ND): Weak buying interest, often a bearish sign in a downtrend.
Test: Low-volume test bar probing for supply.
Up-thrust (UT): Failed breakout with long upper wick, often a bearish trap.
Shakeout: Bear trap with high-volume wide down bar closing low.
Demand Absorption (DA): Demand absorbing heavy selling pressure.
Supply Absorption (SA): Supply absorbing heavy buying pressure.
Additional Options:
Background highlights for detected signals.
Configurable moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA) as a trend filter.
Adjustable multipliers for volume and spread sensitivity.
Legend table for quick reference of signals and meanings.
Alerts available for all signals.
This tool is designed to help traders spot professional accumulation and distribution activity and to improve trade timing by recognizing supply/demand imbalances in the market.
CandelaCharts - NWOG & NDOG📝 Overview
In trading, opening gaps aren’t just noise—they’re clues. Two key ones are the New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) and the New Day Opening Gap (NDOG).
The NWOG forms between Friday’s close (5 PM EST) and Sunday’s open (6 PM EST). It often acts as a magnet—price tends to revisit it, sometimes days or even weeks later. The NDOG is the daily version, showing imbalances at the start of each session.
Between two NWOGs, the Event Horizon (EH)—the midpoint—often becomes a pull for price. When the price hits it, there's a good chance it keeps moving toward the next gap.
I also watch the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones, usually around the 0.68–0.79 retracements between NWOGs. These levels often line up with institutional interest and make solid spots for entries.
To simplify all this, I use an indicator that automatically detects NWOGs and NDOGs, then plots the EH and OTE levels in real time. No manual drawing. Just clean, updated levels every week.
These gaps and their derived levels help map where price is likely to go—and when to act.
