FVG [TakingProphets]🧠 Purpose
This indicator is built for traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It detects and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — price imbalances that often act as future reaction zones. It also highlights New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs) and New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) that frequently play a role in early-session price behavior.
📚 What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap forms when price moves rapidly, skipping over a portion of the chart between three candles — typically between the high of the first candle and the low of the third. These zones are considered inefficient, meaning institutions may return to them later to:
-Rebalance unfilled orders
-Enter or scale into positions
-Engineer liquidity with minimal slippage
In ICT methodology, FVGs are seen as both entry zones and targets, depending on market structure and context.
⚙️ How It Works
-This script automatically identifies and manages valid FVGs using the following logic:
-Bullish FVGs: When the low of the current candle is above the high from two candles ago
-Bearish FVGs: When the high of the current candle is below the body of two candles ago
-Minimum Gap Filter: Gaps must be larger than 0.05% of price
-Combine Consecutive Gaps (optional): Merges adjacent gaps of the same type
-Consequent Encroachment Line (optional): Plots the midpoint of each gap
-NDOG/NWOG Tracking: Labels gaps created during the 5–6 PM session transition
-Automatic Invalidation: Gaps are removed once price closes beyond their boundary
🎯 Practical Use
-Use unmitigated FVGs as potential entry points or targets
-Monitor NDOG and NWOG for context around daily or weekly opens
-Apply the midpoint (encroachment) line for precise execution decisions
-Let the script handle cleanup — only active, relevant zones remain visible
🎨 Customization
-Control colors for bullish, bearish, and opening gaps
-Toggle FVG borders and midpoint lines
-Enable or disable combining of consecutive gaps
-Fully automated zone management, no manual intervention required
✅ Summary
This tool offers a clear, rules-based approach to identifying price inefficiencies rooted in ICT methodology. Whether used for intraday or swing trading, it helps traders stay focused on valid, active Fair Value Gaps while filtering out noise and maintaining chart clarity.

First Presented Fair Value Gap [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "First Presented Fair Value Gap" (FPFVG) by Taking Prophets is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It automatically detects and highlights the first valid Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM New York time — one of the most critical windows in ICT-based trading frameworks.
It also plots the Opening Range Equilibrium (the average of the previous day's 4:14 PM close and today's 9:30 AM open) — a key ICT reference point for premium/discount analysis.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This script is highly specialized for early session trading and offers:
Automatic Detection: Finds the first Fair Value Gap after the 9:30 AM NYSE open.
Clear Visualization: Highlights the FVG zone and labels it with optional time stamps.
Equilibrium Line: Plots the Opening Range Equilibrium for instant premium/discount context.
Time-Sensitive Logic: Limits detection to the most volatile early session (9:30 AM - 10:00 AM).
Extension Options: You can extend both the FVG box and Equilibrium line out to 3:45 PM (end of major session liquidity).
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Pre-Market Setup:
Captures the previous day's 4:14 PM close.
Captures today's 9:30 AM open.
Calculates the Equilibrium (midpoint between the two).
After 9:30 AM (New York Time):
Monitors each 1-minute candle for the creation of a Fair Value Gap:
Bullish FVG: Low of the current candle is above the high two candles ago.
Bearish FVG: High of the current candle is below the low two candles ago.
The first valid gap is boxed and optionally labeled.
Post-Detection Management:
The FVG box and label extend forward in time until 3:45 PM (or the current time, based on settings).
If enabled, the Equilibrium line and label also extend to help with premium/discount analysis.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Wait for market open (9:30 AM New York time).
Step 2: Watch for the first presented FVG on the 1-minute chart.
Step 3: Use the FPFVG zone to guide entries (retracements, rejections, or breaks).
Step 4: Use the Opening Range Equilibrium to determine premium vs. discount conditions:
Price above Equilibrium = Premium market.
Price below Equilibrium = Discount market.
Best Application:
In combination with ICT Killzones, especially during the London or New York Open.
When framing intraday bias and identifying optimal trade locations based on liquidity theory.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps: Price imbalances where liquidity is likely inefficient and future rebalancing can occur.
Opening Range Equilibrium: Key ICT price anchor used to separate premium and discount conditions post-open.
Time-Gated Setup: Limits focus to early session price action, aligning with inner circle trader timing models.
🎨 Customization Options:
FVG color, label visibility, and label size.
Opening Range Equilibrium line visibility and label styling.
Extend lines and boxes to 3:45 PM automatically for full session tracking.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers or day traders trading the New York session open.
Traders who want to frame early session bias and liquidity traps effectively.
Flow State Model [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Flow State Model" by Taking Prophets is a precision-built trading framework based on the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This script implements and automates the Flow State Model, a highly effective multi-timeframe trading system created and popularized by ITS Johnny.
It is designed to help traders systematically align higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation patterns, offering a clear roadmap for catching institutional moves with high confidence.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This is not a simple liquidity indicator or a basic FVG plotter. The Flow State Model executes a full multi-step process:
Higher Timeframe PD Array Detection: Automatically identifies and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes.
Liquidity Sweep Monitoring: Tracks swing highs and lows to detect Buyside or Sellside Liquidity sweeps into the HTF PD Arrays.
CISD Detection: Waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD) by monitoring bullish or bearish displacement after a sweep.
Full Trade Checklist: Visual checklist ensures all critical conditions are met before signaling a completed Flow State setup.
Sensitivity Control: Adapt detection strictness (High, Medium, Low) based on market volatility.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Fair Value Gap Mapping:
The indicator constantly scans higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) for valid bullish or bearish Fair Value Gaps that are large enough (based on ATR multiples) and not weekend gaps.
These FVGs are displayed on the current timeframe with full extension logic and mitigation handling (clearing when invalidated).
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Swing highs and lows are identified using pivot logic (3-bar pivots). When price sweeps beyond a recent liquidity point into an active FVG, it flags the potential for a Flow State setup.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Confirmation:
After a sweep, the script monitors price action for a sequence of bullish or bearish candles followed by displacement (break in delivery).
Only after displacement closes beyond the initiating sequence does a CISD level plot, confirming the market's new delivery state.
Execution Checklist:
An optional table tracks whether critical components are present:
Higher Timeframe PD Array.
Aligned Timeframe Bias.
Liquidity Sweep into FVG.
SMT Divergence (optional manual confirmation).
CISD Confirmation.
Dynamic Management:
Active gaps are extended automatically.
Cleared gaps and mitigated CISDs are deleted to keep charts clean.
Distance-to-FVG prioritization keeps only the nearest active setups visible.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Identify the bias by locating active higher timeframe FVGs.
Step 2: Wait for a Liquidity Sweep into a PD Array (active FVG).
Step 3: Watch for a CISD event (the Flow State confirmation).
Step 4: Once all conditions are checked off, execute trades based on retracements to CISD levels or continuation after displacement.
Best Timing:
During ICT Killzones: London Open, New York AM.
After daily or weekly liquidity events.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Theory: Markets seek to engineer liquidity for real institutional entries.
Fair Value Gaps: Imbalances where price is expected to react or rebalance.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): Confirmation that the market's delivery mechanism has shifted, validating bias continuation.
Flow State Principle: Seamlessly aligning higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation to maximize trade probability.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjust sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) for volatile or calm conditions.
Customize FVG visibility, CISD display, labels, line colors, and sizing.
Set checklist visibility and manual tracking of SMT or aligned bias.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers and swing traders seeking confluence-driven setups.
Traders looking for a structured, checklist-based execution process.

US30 Smart Money 5M/4H Strategy🧠 How It Works
✅ 1. 4H Trend Bias Detection
Uses the 4-hour chart (internally) to determine if the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.
Background turns green for bullish trend, red for bearish trend.
This helps filter trades — only take longs during uptrend, shorts during downtrend.
✅ 2. Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Hunts) on 5M
Highlights candles that break previous highs/lows and then reverse (typical of institutional stop raids).
Draws a shaded red box above sweep-high candles and green box under sweep-lows.
These indicate key reversal zones.
✅ 3. Order Block Zones
Detects bullish/bearish engulfing patterns after liquidity sweeps.
Draws a supply or demand zone box extending forward.
These zones show where institutions likely placed large orders.
✅ 4. FVG Midpoint from 30-Min Chart
Detects Fair Value Gaps (imbalances) on the 30-minute chart.
Plots a line at the midpoint of the gap (EQ level), which is often revisited for entries or rejections.
✅ 5. Buy/Sell Signals (Non-Repainting)
Buy = 4H uptrend + 5M liquidity sweep low + bullish engulfing candle.
Sell = 4H downtrend + 5M liquidity sweep high + bearish engulfing.
Prints green “BUY” or red “SELL” label on the chart — these do not repaint.
📈 How to Use It
Wait for trend bias — only take trades in the direction of the 4H trend.
Watch for liquidity sweep boxes — these hint a stop hunt just occurred.
Look for a signal label (BUY/SELL) — confirms entry criteria.
Use FVG EQ lines & Order Block zones as confluence or targets.
Take trades after NY open (9:30 AM EST) for best momentum.

ADX Divergence and Gap Monitor [theUltimator5]ADX Divergence and Gap Monitor is a custom technical analysis tool designed to visualize momentum imbalances and sudden shifts in trend participation using the ADX system. It combines traditional ADX, DI+ and DI− calculations with dynamic filtering and visual highlighting to help identify key moments of directional acceleration or weakening.
🔍 What It Does:
This indicator builds on the Average Directional Index (ADX) system to detect conditions where market trend strength diverges significantly from directional input (DI) activity. It includes two major visual signals:
Highlight Backgrounds
These appear when the indicator detects a “gap” or sudden acceleration in DI values while ADX remains low, suggesting early-stage momentum bursts or signal noise spikes.
The trigger threshold for DI change can be adjusted using the Gap Trigger Level input.
A background highlight is shown when DI+ or DI− increases sharply, either from a low-ADX environment or from a rapid standalone spike.
GAP Markers
Optional yellow label markers display the word "GAP" just below the lowest line (ADX, DI+, or DI−) whenever a gap condition is triggered. These provide a more noticeable visual cue without crowding the chart.
You can enable or disable the markers with the Show GAP Markers toggle.
🧠 Advanced Divergence Detection:
The script also scans for dominant ADX divergence events, where ADX is significantly higher than DI+ or DI−, indicating strong trend force with weak directional participation. When these conditions are met:
Red or green background fills appear depending on whether DI+ or DI− is being overpowered.
These conditions are based on customizable moving averages and DI strength relationships.
⚙️ Key Inputs:
ADX Length: Period for ADX calculation
DI Moving Average: Smoothing length for directional index signals
Gap Trigger Level: Minimum DI change needed to trigger a GAP highlight
Show Highlight Backgrounds: Toggle to display or hide background signals
Show GAP Markers: Toggle to show or hide text-based GAP labels
🧪 Use Cases:
Spot early breakouts or reversals when DI activity spikes while ADX is still low
Identify periods of trend exhaustion or false breakouts using divergence logic
Confirm trade entry points when ADX begins to rise after a GAP event
MissedPrice[KiomarsRakei]█ Overview:
The MissedPrice script identifies price zones based on significant Open Interest shifts (including gaps) aligned with price movements. When sudden market positioning changes occur, the script pinpoints target zones where price is believed to return. Each signal directs you toward these opportunity zones with supporting metrics like Notional Value, Volume Ratio, and Funding Rate timing to help qualify the signals.
█ Core Concept:
Markets frequently "miss" critical price levels during rapid movements. These missed zones occur when:
Orders are revoked during sudden price shifts
Exchanges fail to execute at intended prices
TP/SL orders miss exact execution points
Institutional orders create supply/demand imbalances
Market structure shifts bypass key levels
Liquidity voids form from positioning changes
These missed price zones create natural targets that price tends to revisit. The MissedPrice indicator identifies these zones by analyzing the relationship between Open Interest, Price, and Volume.
█ Closer look at target zones:
Target zones are calculated using the open price where significant OI shifts occur, with zone width adjusted based on the High-Low ratio and ATR to adapt to current volatility. If a zone is touched once after a signal is generated, it is no longer valid. This can be understood as the missing positions and volume having now entered the market.
Each zone's Notional Value (NV) - calculated as OI change multiplied by price - measures the financial impact of the positioning shift. Higher NV indicates more significant market activity and greater liquidity, making price more likely to return to that area. Users can adjust NV ratio thresholds in the inputs to filter signal quality.
█ Features:
Statistical Dashboard: Real-time statistics table showing performance metrics for signals
Funding Rate Visualization: Vertical lines indicate funding rate times to help correlate signals with these significant market events
Alert Capability: Set up alerts for new signals to never miss a trading opportunity
Dynamic Entry Lines: Draws adjustable entry and target level lines to facilitate precise trade execution and measurement, customizable via inputs
█ Closer Look at Statistics Table:
Signal Count: Total numbers of signals generated and total candles included (limited by TradingView's OI historical data)
Win Rate: can be interpreted as the hit rate of target zones. Whenever price reaches the zone, it is calculated as a win, regardless of how far price may have moved in the opposite direction beforehand. This metric measures the script's accuracy in identifying price zones that eventually get revisited.
Total Profit: Calculates possible profit from first entry to target of hit signals - an estimate since humans can't take all signals and might have better entries or average down. By default is turned off can be turned on in the input menu.
Bad Signals: Signals taking too long to complete or moving much further from target
Bad but Hit: Bad signals that eventually hit the target despite early challenges
As you can see in the chart, there are zones that price does not return to touch. There is no guarantee that every identified zone will be reached, which is why the script provides additional qualification metrics to help assess signal probability.
Due to limitations of Open Interest data, you can only use this script on crypto pairs that have Open Interest data available on TradingView. While the script works on any timeframe, it performs best on timeframes less than daily.
█ Best Practices:
Use it in bar replay mode to master the strategy
Try different risk management systems based on how far price goes from the target and your creativity
Use the volume ratio and funding time data to further qualify signals
Notional Value plays a key role

CoffeeShopCrypto High Timeframe Dynamic Order BlocksThis indicator automates the detection of significant order blocks in real time, from higher timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) and dynamically adapts their zone boundaries to your current chart timeframe regardless of what you change it to. By analyzing market structure across multiple time horizons, it identifies institutional-level supply/demand zones and precisely recalculates their parameters to match your active chart's resolution - whether you're viewing 1-minute or 4-hour candles or even higher.
Key Technical Features:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Scans daily/weekly/monthly data to identify the most significant order blocks that influence all lower timeframes
Adaptive Zone Calculation: Automatically recalculates zone boundaries when you change timeframes, maintaining accurate price levels and candle formations specific to your chart
Smart Price Action Filtering: Isolates only the relevant candles that formed each order block within your current timeframe's context
Structural Precision: Adjusts zone width and position based on the actual candle wicks/bodies that created the order block in your active timeframe.
What they look like when calculated instantly.
About Order Blocks (Market Structure Perspective):
Order blocks represent concentrated areas where institutional traders executed significant positions, creating imbalances in market structure.
These zones become:
Bullish Order Blocks: Demand areas where aggressive buying overwhelmed sellers, often appearing as consolidation before strong upward movements.
Bearish Order Blocks: Supply zones where distribution activity preceded substantial downward moves.
How It Works Differently:
The indicator identifies these critical areas by analyzing the relationship between consecutive candles' opens, highs, lows, and closes - particularly focusing on break-of-structure patterns that confirm zone validity.
Traditional order block indicators simply copy higher timeframe zones to lower charts. These common orderblocks are said be found as the candle before the candle that caused a huge market swing. In a break long, you would look backwards to find the first previous bearish candle. The opposite find would be for a break short.
This is a most unreliable method in finding orderblocks and simply is not true.
Zone Extensions. Choose how far into the future you want your zone to go to. There is no wrong number but you don't want to go too far.
This scripts performs true multi-timeframe analysis by:
Detecting the original order block formation conditions on HTFs
Drilling down to find the exact "candle sequence" that created the zone in your current timeframe.
Continuously monitoring for structural breaks that invalidate zones
Automatically adjusting all visual elements when you switch timeframes
Usage Benefits:
Eliminates manual timeframe switching to identify significant zones
Maintains visual consistency when changing chart resolutions
Provides cleaner charts by only showing relevant order blocks
Adapts to any market (Forex, Stocks, Crypto) and any timeframe combination
Breached Zones. The zone becomes invalidated but the Supply or Demand line is still relevant.
Note on Trading:
While this indicator precisely identifies order block locations, trading methodologies using these zones depend on individual strategy preferences. The tool focuses exclusively on accurate technical detection and adaptive visualization across timeframes.
How to Use Them:
As long as you don't have price action breach of a Bullish Zone Demand Floor you can keep using that zone as a bullish orderblock until its Demand Floor has been breached.
This also means you can still use its Demand Floor as a support level while the Zone itself is no longer relevant. This eliminates the orderblock ZONE as being an orderblock and now you only have a supply floor left to use as support.
As long as you don't have price action breach of a Bearish Zone Supply Wall you can keep using that zone as a bearish orderblock until its Supply Wall has been breached.
This also means you can still use its Supply Wall as a resistance level while the Zone itself is no longer relevant. This eliminates the orderblock ZONE as being an orderblock and now you only have a resistance level.
Once either has been breached, you would find liquidity behind the zone of the ordreblock. This is where price will seek support or resistance depending on the zone type.
Orderblocks has a BODY and who knew they could be so cute. I mean look at this structure.
This is how they are built and what their levels represent.

[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

Smart Stop-Loss (SSL)Smart Stop-Loss (SSL) Indicator
Overview
The Smart Stop-Loss (SSL) indicator is an advanced risk management tool designed to help traders set dynamic stop-loss levels based on market structure, volatility, and momentum. Unlike traditional fixed stop-loss methods, SSL adapts to changing market conditions, helping to avoid premature exits while protecting capital during true reversals.
Key Features
1. Volatility-Based Adjustments
- Uses Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility
- Automatically widens stop-loss during volatile periods and tightens during calm markets
- Customizable ATR multiplier (default: 1.5x) to adjust sensitivity
2. Market Structure Integration
- Identifies significant swing highs and lows to establish support/resistance levels
- Places stop-loss levels beyond these structural points to avoid common stop hunts
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
- Identifies imbalances in order flow that often lead to strong directional moves
- Bullish FVG: A gap up where the current high is below previous low
- Bearish FVG: A gap down where the current low is above previous high
4. Smart Stop-Loss Tightening
- Automatically tightens stop-loss when FVGs are mitigated (filled)
- Uses RSI as a momentum filter to prevent premature adjustments
- Creates a trailing effect that locks in profits as trades move favorably
How to Use
For Long Positions:
1. **Entry**: Look for bullish FVG formations (green step line appears)
2. **Stop-Loss Placement**: Set your stop at or slightly below the green step line
3. **Stop Adjustment**: When price closes above the FVG zone and RSI > 50, the stop will automatically tighten
4. **Exit**: Exit the position when price closes below the green line or when your profit target is reached
For Short Positions:
1. **Entry**: Look for bearish FVG formations (red step line appears)
2. **Stop-Loss Placement**: Set your stop at or slightly above the red step line
3. **Stop Adjustment**: When price closes below the FVG zone and RSI < 50, the stop will automatically tighten
4. **Exit**: Exit the position when price closes above the red line or when your profit target is reached
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Trend Continuation
In an uptrend, when a bullish FVG appears, it often indicates institutional buying pressure. The SSL will place a stop below the swing low with an ATR buffer. As price continues upward and mitigates the FVG, the SSL tightens to protect profits while allowing the trend to continue.
Example 2: Avoiding Premature Exits
During normal market fluctuations, traditional fixed stops might get triggered too early. The SSL's adaptive nature accounts for volatility, keeping you in profitable trades longer by positioning stops beyond noise levels.
Example 3: Protecting Against Reversals
When a true reversal occurs, the momentum filter (RSI) will confirm the change in direction, allowing the SSL to maintain wider protection rather than prematurely tightening in a false move.
Tips for Best Results
1. **Timeframe Selection**: Works best on 1H, 4H and daily charts where market structure is more reliable
2. **Combine with Trend Analysis**: Use in conjunction with trend identification tools
3. **ATR Adjustment**: Increase the ATR multiplier for more volatile instruments
4. **Alert Setup**: Configure the built-in alerts to notify you when stop levels are breached
5. **Visual Confirmation**: The labels show exact stop values to help with order placement

[TehThomas] - ICT SMT DivergencesIntroduction
SMT Divergences is a cutting-edge trading tool designed for traders who utilize Smart Money Techniques (SMT), a core concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator is specifically built to detect SMT divergences by comparing price action across multiple correlated assets. It helps traders identify institutional activity, liquidity grabs, and inefficiencies in the market, offering valuable insights for high-probability trade setups.
Smart Money Techniques revolve around the idea that institutional traders and large market participants leave behind footprints in the form of price divergences. By analyzing multiple asset pairs simultaneously, this indicator helps traders pinpoint areas where one market structure contradicts another, revealing potential trade opportunities before the majority of retail traders notice them.
What is SMT Divergence?
Smart Money Divergence (SMT) occurs when correlated assets or markets behave differently in key areas of interest. These divergences often indicate market inefficiencies caused by liquidity grabs or institutional order flow. There are two main types of SMT divergences:
1. Bearish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Distribution) 🔴
Occurs when:
One asset makes a higher high, while another correlated asset makes a lower high.
This signals underlying weakness in the price action of the first asset.
Institutions may be offloading positions, preparing for a downward move.
📉 Example: If GBP/USD makes a higher high, but EUR/USD makes a lower high, it indicates potential weakness in GBP/USD and a possible short opportunity.
2. Bullish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Accumulation) 🔵
Occurs when:
One asset makes a lower low, while another correlated asset makes a higher low.
This suggests strength and potential accumulation by institutional traders.
Smart Money may be positioning for a bullish reversal.
📈 Example: If NASDAQ (US100) makes a lower low, but S&P 500 (US500) makes a higher low, it could indicate bullish strength in the stock market, suggesting a possible long trade.
How This Indicator Works
The SMT Divergences automatically identifies and plots SMT divergences on your chart, allowing you to spot hidden market imbalances at a glance.
🔍 Key Features
✅ Compare Up to 4 Assets Simultaneously – Select up to four correlated pairs to compare against the main charted asset.
✅ Automatic Detection of SMT Divergences – The script finds divergences in swing highs and swing lows and visually marks them on the chart.
✅ Customizable Line Styles & Colors – Adjust the appearance of the divergence lines and labels to suit your trading style.
✅ Smart Labeling System – Displays which asset pairs are diverging, making it easy to analyze market conditions.
✅ Works Across Multiple Markets – Use for Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities, giving traders flexibility in different asset classes.
✅ Designed for ICT Traders – Aligns perfectly with other ICT concepts such as Liquidity Zones, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
🛠 Indicator Settings & Customization
The indicator provides various settings to tailor it to your trading preferences:
Pivot Lookback Length: Adjusts how many bars the indicator looks back to determine swing highs/lows.
Symbol Selection: Choose up to four additional assets to compare against your main trading pair.
Divergence Line Colors: Customize the color of bearish (red) and bullish (blue) divergences for better visibility.
Line Styles: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines to highlight divergences in your preferred way.
Label Customization: Modify text color and display preferences for a clean and informative chart layout.
How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading Strategy
This indicator is best used in combination with other ICT concepts to improve confluence and increase trade accuracy. Here’s how you can integrate it into your trading strategy:
🔹 Step 1: Identify SMT Divergences
Wait for bullish or bearish SMT divergences to appear on your chart.
Check if the divergence aligns with key liquidity zones, fair value gaps (FVGs), or order blocks.
🔹 Step 2: Confirm Institutional Activity
Look for liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) before a potential reversal.
If a bearish SMT divergence forms near a major resistance level, it may signal Smart Money selling.
If a bullish SMT divergence forms near a support zone, it could indicate accumulation.
🔹 Step 3: Enter a Trade with Confluence
Combine SMT divergences with market structure shifts to time entries.
Use additional ICT tools like Premium & Discount Arrays, Volume Profile, and Market Maker Models for confirmation.
Set stop-losses above liquidity zones and aim for high-risk reward ratios.
🔹 Step 4: Manage Risk & Take Profits
Always use proper risk management, keeping an eye on liquidity grabs and market sentiment.
Consider taking partial profits at key structural points and letting the rest of the trade run.
Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer for ICT Traders
Traditional retail traders often fail to spot Smart Money footprints, which is why many struggle with false breakouts and liquidity traps. The - ICT SMT Divergences indicator eliminates this problem by providing a clear, visual representation of SMT divergences, allowing traders to track institutional movements in real-time.
🔹 Save Time – No need to manually compare charts; the script does the work for you.

ZenAlgo - BenderThis script combines several volume-based methodologies into a single chart overlay to help traders analyze market participation and volume distribution. It aggregates volume from multiple sources—spot and perpetual markets across different exchanges—and processes it to display various insights directly on the chart.
The script provides a detailed view of both individual-bar volume and broader aggregated trends. It calculates certain values, plots different shapes and overlays, and includes an optional informational table. However, it does not offer financial signals or predict future price movements. Instead, it presents multiple volume and range-related highlights for educational or analytical observations.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the core elements in this script:
Core Data Calculation and Aggregation
To build a comprehensive volume picture, the script retrieves volume data from multiple predefined exchanges for both Spot and Perpetual pairs. The volume for each bar is processed in Aggregated mode , meaning it combines data across selected sources to produce a single composite volume value.
The script applies average-based aggregation to calculate the final volume figures. The total volume is then used as the basis for further calculations, such as buy/sell volume decomposition and Delta analysis.
Buy/Sell Volume Decomposition
Each bar’s total volume is separated into an estimated buy portion and a sell portion. This decomposition uses logic that considers wick length, body size, and whether the bar closed higher or lower than it opened. The script assigns fractions of the total volume to the upper wick, lower wick, and body, then multiplies these by the total aggregated volume to estimate buy and sell volumes.
This breakdown is calculated separately for spot-only volume , perp-only volume , and their aggregated sums, allowing traders to analyze how much of each bar’s volume is estimated as "buy" or "sell."
Delta and Cumulative Delta
The script computes a Delta (buy volume minus sell volume) for each bar. A positive Delta suggests more buying during that bar, while a negative Delta suggests more selling.
It also computes Cumulative Delta , summing this Delta over 14 bars (a fixed period). This allows users to observe how short-term buy/sell imbalances accumulate over time.
Visual Bar Coloring (PVSRA Logic)
The script includes logic based on PVSRA (Price Volume Support Resistance Analysis) , which examines average volume over a recent lookback period to determine whether a bar meets certain "climax" or "above-average" thresholds.
Bars are categorized as:
Climax Up or Climax Down: If a bar meets strong volume and range conditions, it is identified as a high-activity bar.
Neutral Colors: Bars that do not meet the threshold are identified as standard volume bars.
Table Summaries
The script includes an optional Spot vs. Perpetual volume table that provides:
Aggregated Spot vs. Perpetual buy/sell volumes
The net difference between buying and selling
The total sum across all included sources
Percentage breakdown of buying vs. selling
A separate multi-timeframe table calculates volume-related metrics for fixed timeframes (15, 60, and 240 minutes), allowing traders to compare their current timeframe with broader trends.
Highlighted Shapes and Diamonds
The script places shape markers above or below bars when certain conditions are met, including:
Dots (circles): Representing a significant increase in net Delta compared to the previous bar.
Diamonds: Markers that appear when volume-based conditions align with predefined thresholds. These vary in size and include an optional "Hardcore Mode" , which applies stricter filtering.
Crossover Triangles: These appear when the internally computed Delta MA (a moving average of Delta) crosses above or below a predefined EMA.
These markers highlight notable changes in volume, Delta, or price action but do not constitute predictive trading signals.
Delta Averages and Overlaid EMAs
The script plots a histogram of the current net Delta (buy minus sell) . Additionally, a Delta Moving Average (Delta MA) is used for tracking trends. The Delta MA is plotted alongside predefined Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) , such as:
A Delta MA calculated using an exponential moving average (EMA) over 21 bars.
A set of predefined EMAs (lengths such as 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 21, 25, etc.) plotted to visualize momentum changes.
Areas between these EMAs can be filled with translucent shading to highlight momentum shifts.
Comparing the Delta MA to the overlaid EMAs helps track changes in Delta momentum over time.
Interpreting the Elements
When using this script, consider the following:
Volume Aggregation: The script aggregates volume across multiple Spot and Perpetual sources to provide a broad market view.
Delta and Cumulative Delta: The Delta histogram may spike positively or negatively, highlighting areas of potential buying or selling pressure.
Table Data: If enabled, the tables display buy/sell volume splits for Spot and Perpetual markets, along with multi-timeframe comparisons.
EMA Overlays on Delta: The stacked EMAs help visualize short-term vs. longer-term Delta changes.
Shape Markers: Dots, diamonds, and triangles emphasize notable shifts in volume or Delta but do not imply recommendations for action.
Usage Tips
Toggle "Hardcore Mode" to apply stricter filtering to highlight conditions.
Enable or disable the Spot vs. Perpetual Table to see if the breakdown of volume sources is useful.
Use the multi-timeframe table to compare intraday data with broader trends.
If the chart appears too cluttered, toggle off features like PVSRA color tints or some EMAs to focus on specific elements.
Final Thoughts
This script integrates multiple volume-based calculations, range analysis, aggregated volume from predefined tickers, and various moving averages for Delta. Its visual layers—color-coded bars, histograms, shape markers, and tables—offer a rich perspective on market activity.
Users can analyze these elements across any timeframe or market combination they prefer. The script does not provide buy/sell signals or make predictions —it is purely an analytical tool for understanding volume-based market dynamics.
Traders should interpret these visual elements according to their own strategy and trading approach.
