🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last 500 bars and Historical assumes all data available to the user
# Visible Levels: Controls the amount of the liquidity levels/zones to be visualized.
🔶 USAGE
Definitions of Liquidity refer to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity mainly relates to stop losses or pending orders and liquidity level/pool, highlighting a concentration of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Smart money traders, such as banks and other large institutions, often target these liquidity levels/pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
There are two types of liquidity; Buyside liquidity and Sellside liquidity .
Buyside liquidity represents a level on the chart where short sellers will have their stops positioned, and Sellside liquidity represents a level on the chart where long-biased traders will place their stops.
These areas often act as support or resistance levels and can provide trading opportunities.
When the liquidity levels are breached at which many stop/limit orders are placed have been traded through, the script will create a zone aiming to provide additional insight to figure out the odds of the next price action.
Reversal: It’s common that the price may reverse course and head in the opposite direction, seeking liquidity at the opposite extreme.
Continuation: When the zone is also broken it is a sign for continuation price action.
It's worth noting that ICT concepts are specific to the methodology developed by Michael J. Huddleston and may not align with other trading approaches or strategies.
🔶 DETAILS
Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case;
Liquidity level is detected/updated.
Liquidity level is breached.

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.

Volume pressure by GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA🔍 Volume Pressure by GSK-VIZAG-AP-INDIA
🧠 Overview
“Volume Pressure” is a multi-timeframe, real-time table-based volume analysis tool designed to give traders a clear and immediate view of buying and selling pressure across custom-selected timeframes. By breaking down buy volume, sell volume, total volume, and their percentages, this indicator helps traders identify demand/supply imbalances and volume momentum in the market.
🎯 Purpose / Trading Use Case
This indicator is ideal for intraday and short-term traders who want to:
Spot aggressive buying or selling activity
Track volume dynamics across multiple timeframes *1 min time frame will give best results*
Use volume pressure as a confirming tool alongside price action or trend-based systems
It helps determine when large buying/selling activity is occurring and whether such behavior is consistent across timeframes—a strong signal of institutional interest or volume-driven trend shifts.
🧩 Key Features & Logic
Real-Time Table Display: A clean, dynamic table showing:
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Total Volume
Buy % of total volume
Sell % of total volume
Multi-Time frame Analysis: Supports 8 user-selectable custom time frames from 1 to 240 minutes, giving flexibility to analyze volume pressure at various granularities.
Color-Coded Volume Bias:
Green for dominant Buy pressure
Red for dominant Sell pressure
Yellow for Neutral
Intensity-based blinking for extreme values (over 70%)
Dynamic Data Calculation:
Uses volume * (close > open) logic to estimate buy vs sell volumes bar-by-bar, then aggregates by timeframe.
⚙️ User Inputs & Settings
Timeframe Selectors (TF1 to TF8): Choose any 8 timeframes you want to monitor volume pressure across.
Text & Color Settings:
Customize text colors for Buy, Sell, Total volumes
Choose Buy/Sell bias colors
Enable/disable blinking for visual emphasis on extremes
Table Appearance:
Set header color, metric background, and text size
Table positioning: top-right, bottom-right, etc.
Blinking Highlight Toggle: Enable this to visually highlight when Buy/Sell % exceeds 70%—a sign of strong pressure.
📊 Visual Elements Explained
The table has 6 rows and 10 columns:
Row 0: Headers for Today and TF1 to TF8
Rows 1–3: Absolute values (Buy Vol, Sell Vol, Total Vol)
Rows 4–5: Relative percentages (Buy %, Sell %), with dynamic background color
First column shows the metric names (e.g., “Buy Vol”)
Cells blink using alternate background colors if volume pressure crosses thresholds
💡 How to Use It Effectively
Use Buy/Sell % rows to confirm potential breakout trades or identify volume exhaustion zones
Look for multi-timeframe confluence: If 5 or more TFs show >70% Buy pressure, buyers are in control
Combine with price action (e.g., breakouts, reversals) to increase conviction
Suitable for equities, indices, futures, crypto, especially on lower timeframes (1m to 15m)
🏆 What Makes It Unique
Table-based MTF Volume Pressure Display: Most indicators only show volume as bars or histograms; this script summarizes and color-codes volume bias across timeframes in a tabular format.
Customization-friendly: Full control over colors, themes, and timeframes
Blinking Alerts: Rare visual feature to capture user attention during extreme pressure
Designed with performance and readability in mind—even for fast-paced scalping environments.
🚨 Alerts / Extras
While this script doesn’t include TradingView alert functions directly, the visual blinking serves as a strong real-time alert mechanism.
Future versions may include built-in alert conditions for buy/sell bias thresholds.
🔬 Technical Concepts Used
Volume Dissection using close > open logic (to estimate buyer vs seller pressure)
Simple aggregation of volume over custom timeframes
Table plotting using Pine Script table.new, table.cell
Dynamic color logic for bias identification
Custom blinking logic using na(bar_index % 2 == 0 ? colorA : colorB)

FVG (Nephew sam remake)Hello i am making my own FVG script inspired by Nephew Sam as his fvg code is not open source. My goal is to replicate his Script and then add in alerts and more functions. Thus, i spent few days trying to code. There is bugs such as lower time frame not showing higher time frame FVG.
This script automatically detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — imbalances between demand and supply — across multiple timeframes (15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour).
15m chart shows:
15m FVGs (green/red boxes)
1H FVGs (lime/maroon)
4H FVGs (faded green/red with borders) (Bugged For now i only see 1H appearing)
1H chart shows:
1H FVGs
4H FVGs
4H chart shows:
4H FVGs only
There is the function to auto close FVG when a future candle fully disrespected it.
You're welcome to:
🔧 Customize the appearance: adjust box colors, transparency, border style
🧪 Add alerts: e.g., when price enters or fills a gap
📅 Expand to Daily/Weekly: just copy the logic and plug in "D" or "W" as new layers
📈 Build confluence logic: combine this with order blocks, liquidity zones, or ICT concepts
🧠 Experiment with entry signals: e.g., candle confirmation on return to FVG
🚀 Improve performance: if you find a lighter way to track gaps, feel free to optimize!
RSI - SECUNDARIO - mauricioofsousaSecondary RSI – MGO
Reading the rhythm behind the price action
The Secondary RSI is a specialized oscillator developed as part of the MGO (Matriz Gráficos ON) methodology. It works as a refined strength filter, designed to complement traditional RSI readings by isolating the true internal rhythm of price action and reducing the influence of market noise.
While the standard RSI measures price momentum, the Secondary RSI focuses on identifying breaks in oscillatory balance—the moments when the market shifts from accumulation to distribution or from compression to expansion.
🎯 What the Secondary RSI highlights:
Internal imbalances in energy between buyers and sellers
Micro-divergences not visible on standard RSI
Areas of price fatigue or overextension that often precede reversals
Confirmation zones for MGO oscillatory events (RPA, RPB, RBA, RBB)
📊 Recommended use:
Combine with the Primary RSI for dual-layer validation
Use as a noise-reduction tool before entering trends
Ideal in medium timeframes (12H / 4H) where oscillatory patterns form clearly
🧠 How it works:
The Secondary RSI recalculates the momentum signal using a block-based interpretation (aligned with the MGO structure) instead of simply following raw candle data. It adapts to the periodic nature of price behavior and provides the trader with a more stable and reliable measure of true market strength.
Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS Dskyz (DAFE) GENESIS: Adaptive Quant, Real Regime Power
Let’s be honest: Most published strategies on TradingView look nearly identical—copy-paste “open-source quant,” generic “adaptive” buzzwords, the same shallow explanations. I’ve even fallen into this trap with my own previously posted strategies. Not this time.
What Makes This Unique
GENESIS is not a black-box mashup or a pre-built template. It’s the culmination of DAFE’s own adaptive, multi-factor, regime-aware quant engine—built to outperform, survive, and visualize live edge in anything from NQ/MNQ to stocks and crypto.
True multi-factor core: Volume/price imbalances, trend shifts, volatility compression/expansion, and RSI all interlock for signal creation.
Adaptive regime logic: Trades only in healthy, actionable conditions—no “one-size-fits-all” signals.
Momentum normalization: Uses rolling, percentile-based fast/slow EMA differentials, ALWAYS normalized, ALWAYS relevant—no “is it working?” ambiguity.
Position sizing that adapts: Not fixed-lot, not naive—not a loophole for revenge trading.
No hidden DCA or pyramiding—what you see is what you trade.
Dashboard and visual system: Directly connected to internal logic. If it’s shown, it’s used—and nothing cosmetic is presented on your chart that isn’t quantifiable.
📊 Inputs and What They Mean (Read Carefully)
Maximum Raw Score: How many distinct factors can contribute to regime/trade confidence (default 4). If you extend the quant logic, increase this.
RSI Length / Min RSI for Shorts / Max RSI for Longs: Fine-tunes how “overbought/oversold” matters; increase the length for smoother swings, tighten floors/ceilings for more extreme signals.
⚡ Regime & Momentum Gates
Min Normed Momentum/Score (Conf): Raise to demand only the strongest trends—your filter to avoid algorithmic chop.
🕒 Volatility & Session
ATR Lookback, ATR Low/High Percentile: These control your system’s awareness of when the market is dead or ultra-volatile. All sizing and filter logic adapts in real time.
Trading Session (hours): Easy filter for when entries are allowed; default is regular trading hours—no surprise overnight fills.
📊 Sizing & Risk
Max Dollar Risk / Base-Max Contracts: All sizing is adaptive, based on live regime and volatility state—never static or “just 1 contract.” Control your max exposures and real $ risk. ATR will effect losses in high volatility times.
🔄 Exits & Scaling
Stop/Trail/Scale multipliers: You choose how dynamic/flexible risk controls and profit-taking need to be. ATR-based, so everything auto-adjusts to the current market mode.
Visuals That Actually Matter
Dashboard (Top Right): Shows only live, relevant stats: scoring, status, position size, win %, win streak, total wins—all from actual trade engine state (not “simulated”).
Watermark (Bottom Right): Momentum bar visual is always-on, regime-aware, reflecting live regime confidence and momentum normalization. If the bar is empty, you’re truly in no-momentum. If it glows lime, you’re riding the strongest possible edge.
*No cosmetics, no hidden code distractions.
Backtest Settings
Initial capital: $10,000
Commission: Conservative, realistic roundtrip cost:
15–20 per contract (including slippage per side) I set this to $25
Slippage: 3 ticks per trade
Symbol: CME_MINI:NQ1!
Timeframe: 1 min (but works on all timeframes)
Order size: Adaptive, 1–3 contracts
No pyramiding, no hidden DCA
Why these settings?
These settings are intentionally strict and realistic, reflecting the true costs and risks of live trading. The 10,000 account size is accessible for most retail traders. 25/contract including 3 ticks of slippage are on the high side for NQ, ensuring the strategy is not curve-fit to perfect fills. If it works here, it will work in real conditions.
Why It Wins
While others put out “AI-powered” strategies with little logic or soul, GENESIS is ruthlessly practical. It is built around what keeps traders alive:
- Context-aware signals, not just patterns
- Tight, transparent risk
- Inputs that adapt, not confuse
- Visuals that clarify, not distract
- Code that runs clean, efficient, and with minimal overfitting risk (try it on QQQ, AMD, SOL, etc. out of the box)
Disclaimer (for TradingView compliance):
Trading is risky. Futures, stocks, and crypto can result in significant losses. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. This is for educational and informational purposes only. Use in simulation/backtest mode before live trading. No past performance is indicative of future results. Always understand your risk and ownership of your trades.
This will not be my last—my goal is to keep raising the bar until DAFE is a brand or I’m forced to take this private.
Use with discipline, use with clarity, and always trade smarter.

Bull vs Bear Volume (Enhanced)Bull vs Bear Volume (Enhanced) is a custom volume histogram that separates and visualizes estimated buying vs. selling volume within each candle. This allows traders to better understand market sentiment and detect imbalances in demand and supply.
🔍 What It Does:
Plots bullish volume (green) above the x-axis and bearish volume (red) below.
Estimates bull/bear volume by analyzing the close location within the candle's range.
Highlights volume spikes with lime (bullish) or maroon (bearish) when volume exceeds a user-defined threshold.
Includes an optional total volume line for added context.
Supports smoothing via simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise.
🛠️ Inputs:
Toggle smoothing and set its length.
Enable/disable threshold spike highlighting.
Show/hide the total volume overlay.
Adjust the threshold multiplier for spike detection.
⚠️ Important:
This script uses a proxy method based on candle structure to estimate volume split — it does not use real-time order flow or trade direction data.
Works best on liquid assets with consistent volume.
CRT Finder (WanHakimFX)📈 Liquidity Grab Indicator with MTF Confluence & Alerts
🔍 Overview:
The Liquidity Grab Indicator is designed to detect precise moments when price sweeps liquidity — either by wicking below recent lows (bullish LQH) or above recent highs (bearish LQL) — followed by a clear rejection. It combines this logic with multi-timeframe confirmation and trend filters, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability reversal setups.
⚙️ How It Works:
✅ Liquidity Sweep Logic (LQH / LQL)
Bullish (LQH):
Current candle wicks below the previous low
Closes above the previous candle body
Confirms potential bullish reversal
Bearish (LQL):
Current candle wicks above the previous high
Closes below the previous candle body
Confirms potential bearish reversal
✅ Additional Conditions:
Must occur during London or New York sessions.
Requires trend confluence:
LQH = Price must be above SMMA 60/100/200
LQL = Price must be below SMMA 60/100/200
🧠 Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
The indicator scans for LQH/LQL sweeps across:
Daily
4H
1H
30M
15M
If a sweep occurs on any of these timeframes, an alert is triggered and a triangle marker appears on the chart for real-time visual confluence.
📊 Visual Features:
Green/Red labels for active timeframe sweeps.
Dotted wick lines to show liquidity zones from the previous candle.
Colored triangle markers for MTF sweep alerts.
🛠 Strategy Usage:
This indicator is best used as a trigger tool in a confluence-based strategy:
Use higher-timeframe MTF LQH/LQL markers for directional bias.
Wait for matching sweep on your entry timeframe (e.g., M1/M5).
Enter on confirmation candle or break of structure.
Target imbalances, FVGs, or previous highs/lows.
Risk-managed entries using sweep candle's high/low as stop.
📢 Alerts:
✅ Bullish Sweep (LQH) on any timeframe
✅ Bearish Sweep (LQL) on any timeframe
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.
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

[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.

Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy [AlgoAlpha X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Liquidity Sweep Filter developed by AlgoAlpha. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to AlgoAlpha.
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a non-repainting trading system designed to identify liquidity sweeps, trend shifts, and high-impact price levels. It incorporates volume-based liquidation analysis, trend confirmation, and dynamic support/resistance detection to optimize trade entries and exits.
This strategy helps traders:
Detect liquidity sweeps where major market participants trigger stop losses and liquidations.
Identify trend shifts using a volatility-based moving average system.
Analyze volume distribution with a built-in volume profile visualization.
Filter noise by differentiating between major and minor liquidity sweeps.
How the Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy Works
1. Trend Detection Using Volatility-Based Filtering
The strategy applies a volatility-adjusted moving average system to determine trend direction:
A central trend line is calculated using an EMA smoothed over a user-defined length.
Upper and lower deviation bands are created based on the average price deviation over multiple periods.
If price closes above the upper band, the strategy signals an uptrend.
If price closes below the lower band, the strategy signals a downtrend.
This approach ensures that trend shifts are confirmed only when price significantly moves beyond normal market fluctuations.
2. Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity sweeps occur when price temporarily breaks key levels, triggering stop-loss liquidations or margin call events. The strategy tracks swing highs and lows, marking potential liquidity grabs:
Bearish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent high, then reverses downward.
Bullish Liquidity Sweeps – Price breaks a recent low, then reverses upward.
Volume Integration – The strategy analyzes trading volume at each sweep to differentiate between major and minor sweeps.
Key levels where liquidity sweeps occur are plotted as color-coded horizontal lines:
Red lines indicate bearish liquidity sweeps.
Green lines indicate bullish liquidity sweeps.
Labels are displayed at each sweep, showing the volume of liquidated positions at that level.
3. Volume Profile Analysis
The strategy includes an optional volume profile visualization, displaying how trading volume is distributed across different price levels.
Features of the volume profile:
Point of Control (POC) – The price level with the highest traded volume is marked as a key area of interest.
Bounding Box – The profile is enclosed within a transparent box, helping traders visualize the price range of high trading activity.
Customizable Resolution & Scale – Traders can adjust the granularity of the profile to match their preferred time frame.
The volume profile helps identify zones of strong support and resistance, making it easier to anticipate price reactions at key levels.
Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
The strategy allows traders to configure trade direction:
Long Only – Only takes long trades.
Short Only – Only takes short trades.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
A bullish trend shift is confirmed.
A bullish liquidity sweep occurs (price sweeps below a key level and reverses).
The trade direction setting allows long trades.
Short Entry:
A bearish trend shift is confirmed.
A bearish liquidity sweep occurs (price sweeps above a key level and reverses).
The trade direction setting allows short trades.
Exit Conditions
Closing a Long Position:
A bearish trend shift occurs.
The position is liquidated at a predefined liquidity sweep level.
Closing a Short Position:
A bullish trend shift occurs.
The position is liquidated at a predefined liquidity sweep level.
Customization Options
The strategy offers multiple adjustable settings:
Trade Mode: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Trend Calculation Length & Multiplier: Adjust how trend signals are calculated.
Liquidity Sweep Sensitivity: Customize how aggressively the strategy identifies sweeps.
Volume Profile Display: Enable or disable the volume profile visualization.
Bounding Box & Scaling: Control the size and position of the volume profile.
Color Customization: Adjust colors for bullish and bearish signals.
Considerations & Limitations
Liquidity sweeps do not always result in reversals. Some price sweeps may continue in the same direction.
Works best in volatile markets. In low-volatility environments, liquidity sweeps may be less reliable.
Trend confirmation adds a slight delay. The strategy ensures valid signals, but this may result in slightly later entries.
Large volume imbalances may distort the volume profile. Adjusting the scale settings can help improve visualization.
Conclusion
The Liquidity Sweep Filter Strategy is a volume-integrated trading system that combines liquidity sweeps, trend analysis, and volume profile data to optimize trade execution.
By identifying key price levels where liquidations occur, this strategy provides valuable insight into market behavior, helping traders make better-informed trading decisions.
Key use cases for this strategy:
Liquidity-Based Trading – Capturing moves triggered by stop hunts and liquidations.
Volume Analysis – Using volume profile data to confirm high-activity price zones.
Trend Following – Entering trades based on confirmed trend shifts.
Support & Resistance Trading – Using liquidity sweep levels as dynamic price zones.
This strategy is fully customizable, allowing traders to adapt it to different market conditions, timeframes, and risk preferences.
