Strat Dashboard [TFO]The Strat Dashboard tracks up to 10 signals while highlighting common strat reversal patterns, the SSS 50% rule, timeframe continuity, and some additional criteria with VWAP and moving averages.
With the strat, all price action bars/candles are simplified into 3 total possibilities: 1 (inside bar), 2 (a bar that takes the previous bar's high OR low), and 3 (outside bar). The first table column for Last X Candles shows the most recent candles according to this notation, for example, 1 - 2D - 2U. This would mean we had an inside bar, followed by a bar that took the previous bar's low, followed then by a bar that took the previous bar's high. Note that the colors in this column are set according to whether the current bar's close exceeds the previous bar's high/low. By default, these colors are green if above the previous bar's highs, or red if below the previous bar's lows. If the current close is in between the previous candle's high and low (even after already taking the prior high or low), no color will be applied.
The SSS 50% column shows a yes or no value for whether the current bar aligns with the SSS 50% rule, where a bar has taken either the previous high or low, and has since reversed to at least the midway point of the previous bar's height - essentially anticipating a 2 that may become a 3 (outside bar).
Timeframe continuity (TFC) shows a yes or no value for when the current candle on multiple timeframes are all green or red (above the open price or below the open price, respectively). For example, if you were looking at the current 15m, 1h, and 1D bars, and they were all above the open price, you could say there's TFC between all three timeframes. As of the initial release, you can select up to 3 different timeframes. The table values will only be true when all selected timeframes are in alignment. When setting alerts, first deselect the timeframes if you don't want TFC logic to impact alerts.
The "Last" column shows the last strat reversal pattern that was confirmed (after the last bar closes). Waiting for a candle close is the safer option since a 2 can turn into a 3; however for higher timeframes, it may be beneficial to make an update to this indicator in which you can have live alerts as well (not waiting for a candle close). You can select which strat reversals you want to be shown from the settings. Various strat reversals may be selected for alerts of type "Any"; for example, if setting up an alert for "Any" strat reversal on Symbol 1, then this alert will go off when any of the *selected* strat reversals occur for that specific symbol. Deselect any strat reversals that you don't want to be included in these alerts.
Lastly, the EMA and VWAP columns simply show whether price is above or below said value. This tracks the current candle close, and may repaint/change several times if the current bar is oscillating above and below these values.

This script will help you follow the strat. While other collections of scripts exist to do similar functionality, the idea of this (work in progress) is to be a one stop shop for all things strat that will evolve over time. Fairly new to the strat and pine script. The script is for informational purposes only. Please do you due diligence.
Features:
=Candle numbering: will number candles underneath based on the prior candle. 1 for an inside bar 2 for a directional bar (up or down) and 3 for an outside bar.
=Candle coloring: will highlight candles. Yellow for an inside candle, magenta for an outside candle, red for a 2 down candle, green for a 2 up candle. It will not modify the outside border of the candle so you can still see green if the open was lower than the close or red if the close was below open.
=Candle shape: will place an arrow up if the 2 candle is a directional UP and arrows down if the 2 candle is a directional DOWN. It will display red if it's bearish and green if it's bullish.
=Strat combos: will provide a text description of all currently applicable strat combinations if they are active at the top right of the chart. It will display red if it's bearish and green if it's bullish.
=Actionable signals: will provide text description of actionable signals if they are active on the bottom right of the chart. Inside bar if the bar is inside the prior bar, the color of this signal will be blue (shows better on white background). Hammer will be 75% of the candle is at the bottom and the open and close are above the 75% of the wick. Hammers will display green for bullish. Shooters are just the opposite of hammers, 75% of the wick is at the top and the open and close are below 75% of the wick. Shooters will display at red for bearish.
=Time Frame Continuity: will provide time frame continuity across 15m, 30m, Hour, Day, Week, Quarter, Year with green arrows up if the close is above the open for the given time frame, or red arrows down if the close is below the open for the given time frame. This will also look to determine if the time frame is applicable based on what time frame the user selects as well as ensures history exists for the given time frame.

GL Gann Swing IndicatorIntroduction
The GL Gann Swing Indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify market trends, support and resistance areas, and potential reversals. This indicator applies the principles of Gann Swing Charts, a technique developed by W.D. Gann, which focuses on market swings to determine the overall direction and turning points of price action. Gann Swing Charts are a time-tested method of technical analysis that simplifies price action by focusing on significant highs and lows, thereby eliminating market noise and providing a clearer view of the trend.
By analyzing price action and determining swing directions and turning points, the indicator filters out market noise using four distinct bar types:
Up Bar: Higher High, Higher Low
Down Bar: Lower High, Lower Low
Inside Bar: Lower High, Higher Low
Outside Bar: Higher High, Lower Low
This approach helps traders to:
Identify the primary trend direction.
Determine key support and resistance levels.
Recognize potential reversal points.
Filter out minor price fluctuations that do not affect the overall trend.
Features
Bar Types: Display bar types by checking the Show Bar Type box in the indicator's settings. Up bars appear as green upward-pointing triangles, down bars as red downward-pointing triangles, inside bars as grey circles, and outside bars as blue diamonds. These visual aids help traders quickly identify the type of bar and its significance.
Break Lines: These lines highlight when the price rises above a previous swing high or falls below a prior swing low. Green lines indicate breaks of swing highs, while red lines indicate breaks of swing lows. Break lines are enabled by default but can be turned off in the indicator's settings. Break lines provide visual confirmation of trend continuation or reversal.
Bar Count: Bar counts help determine if a swing is overextended and if a reversal is likely. This feature is off by default but can be enabled in the indicator's settings. Users can set a minimum bar count to focus on significant swings. Analyzing the number of bars in a swing can help traders gauge the strength and potential exhaustion of a trend.
Swing MA (Moving Averages): This feature plots the average of a user-defined number of previous swing highs and lows. Options are available to add two moving averages, allowing for both fast and slow averages. Swing MAs can be enabled in the indicator's settings. These moving averages smooth out the price data, making it easier to identify the underlying trend direction.
Why This Indicator is Useful
The GL Gann Swing Indicator is particularly useful for several reasons:
Trend Identification: By focusing on significant price swings, the indicator helps traders identify the primary trend direction, making it easier to align trades with the overall market movement.
Noise Reduction: The indicator filters out minor price fluctuations, allowing traders to focus on meaningful market movements and avoid being misled by short-term volatility.
Support and Resistance Levels: By highlighting key swing highs and lows, the indicator helps traders identify crucial support and resistance levels, which are essential for making informed trading decisions.
Potential Reversals: The indicator's ability to identify overextended swings and potential reversal points can help traders anticipate market turning points and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Customizability: With options to display bar types, break lines, bar counts, and swing moving averages, traders can customize the indicator to suit their specific trading style and preferences.
By incorporating Gann Swing principles, the GL Gann Swing Indicator offers traders a powerful tool to enhance their technical analysis, improve their trading decisions, and ultimately achieve better trading outcomes.
Bilson Gann CountGann counting is a method for identifying swing points,trends, and overall market structure. It simplifies price action by drawing short trend lines that summarize moves.
There's essentially 4 types of bar/candle.
Up bar - Higher high and higher low than previous bar
Down bar - Lower high and lower low than previous bar
Inside bar - Lower high and higher low than previous bar
Outside bar - Higher high and lower low than previous bar
We use these determinations to decide how the trendline moves through the candles.
Up bars we join to the high, down bars we join to the low, inside bars are ignored.
There are other indicators that already exist which do this, the difference here is how we handle outside bars.
Other gann counting methods skip outside bars, this method determines how to handle the outside bar after the outside bar is broken.
examples
UP -> OUTSIDE -> UP = Outside bar treated as swing low
UP -> OUTSIDE -> DOWN = Outside bar treated as swing high
DOWN -> OUTSIDE -> UP = Outside bar treated as swing low
DOWN -> OUTSIDE -> DOWN = Outside bar treated as swing high
beanBean's Multi-Instrument Pattern Scanner.
This indicator scans H1 timeframe for specific technical patterns. Here's how each pattern is detected:
PATTERN DETECTION CRITERIA:
1. Hammer
- Body Size: ≤ 30% of total candle length
- Lower Wick: > 50% of total candle length
- Upper Wick: < 20% of total candle length
- Formula:
* bodySize = |close - open|
* upperWick = high - max(open, close)
* lowerWick = min(open, close) - low
* totalLength = high - low
2. Shooting Star
- Body Size: ≤ 30% of total candle length
- Upper Wick: > 50% of total candle length
- Lower Wick: < 20% of total candle length
- Uses same measurements as Hammer but inverted
3. Outside/Inside (OI)
Checks three consecutive bars:
- Outside Bar: Bar2 high ≥ Bar3 high AND Bar2 low ≤ Bar3 low
- Inside Bar: Bar1 high ≤ Bar2 high AND Bar1 low ≥ Bar2 low
Pattern confirms when both conditions are met
4. Bullish/Bearish Umbrella
Checks two consecutive bars:
Bullish:
- Current bar's high ≤ previous bar's high
- Current body high ≤ previous bar's high
- Current body low ≥ previous body high
Bearish:
- Current bar's low ≥ previous bar's low
- Current body low ≥ previous bar's low
- Current body high ≤ previous body low
5. Three Bar Triangle (3BT)
Checks three consecutive bars:
- Current bar's high ≤ max(previous two highs)
- Current bar's low ≥ min(previous two lows)
- Indicates price compression
DISPLAY AND ALERTS:
- Patterns are displayed in real-time in the table
- Multiple patterns can be detected simultaneously
- Pattern detection resets each new H1 candle
CONFIGURATION:
- Each row can be independently configured
- Patterns are checked on H1 timeframe close
- Alert frequency: Once per H1 bar close
Note: All measurements use standard OHLC values from only completed H1 candles.

🔶 USAGE
This script allows users with an understanding of The Strat to quickly highlight elements such as candle numbers, pivot machine guns, and custom combos. The usage for these concepts is given in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Candle Numbers
The Strat assigns a number to individual candles, this number is determined by the current candle position relative to the precedent candle, these include:
Number 1 - Inside bar, occurs when the previous candle range engulfs the current one.
Number 2 Up - Upside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price high breaks the previous high while the current low is lower than the previous high.
Number 2 Down - Downside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price low breaks the previous low while the current high is higher than the previous low.
Number 3 - Outside bar, occurs when the current candle range engulfs the previous one.
The script can highlight the number of a candle by using labels but can also style candles by depending on the candle number. Inside bars (1) only have their candle wick highlighted, directional bars (2) (-2) only have their candle body highlighted. Outside bars have their candle range highlighted.
Note that downside directional bars are highlighted with the number -2.
Users can see the total amount of times a specific candle number is detected on the historical data on the dashboard available within the settings, as well as the number of times a candle number is detected relative to the total amount of detected candle numbers expressed as a percentage.
It is also possible to see the current candle numbers returned by multiple timeframes on the dashboard.
🔹 Searching For Custom Combos
Combos are made of a sequence of two or more candle numbers. These combos can highlight multiple reversals/continuation scenarios. Various common combos are documented by The Strat community.
This script allows users to search for custom combos by entering them on the Combo user setting field.
When a user combo is found, it is highlighted on the chart as a box highlighting the combo range.
🔹 Pivot Combos
It can be of interest to a user to display the combo associated with a pivot high/low. This script will highlight the location of pivot points on the chart and display its associated combo by default. These are based on the Pivot Combo lookback and not displayed in real-time.
Users can see on the dashboard the combos associated with a pivot high/low, these are ranked by frequency.
🔹 Pivot Machine Gun (PMG)
Pivot Machine Guns (PMG)s describe the scenario where a single price variation breaks the value of multiple past successive higher lows/lower highs. This can highlight a self-exciting behavior, where even more past successive higher lows/lower highs get broken.
Users can select the minimum sequence length of successive higher lows/lower highs required for a PMG to be detected, as well the amount of these successive higher lows/lower highs that must be broken.
Edward PriceAction
This is an updated version of my previous script, I have added a few extra Patterns and some patterns specs have chnaged over those specified by "Price Action Battle Station by theforexguy".
Because this script has diverted from the original specification of "theforexguy", I have decided to release it as a new version. Improvements have been made to some of the pattern finding calculations, for example Hammer and Shooting Stars are now special Pin Bars, they now must have preceding and succeeding confirm bars, so they do not occur very often.
NOTE: All the identification of PA candles is disabled by default.
Changes made in Version 2.0 :
Added Forex Morning and Evening Stars (the centre small candle is not a specific color).
Abbreviated text names for less cluttered look.
Change minimum/maximum bar sizes to be a % of current ATR, rather than pips, this makes relative sizing independent on Time Frame, and make the script work better with non-currency assets like stocks and commodities .
Change definition of Hammer and shooting Star so the the previous candle is part of a trend and is followed by a confirm candle.
Added some precendence test to reduce multiple action labels.
版本注释: After some feedback from fellow traders I have made the following changes:
Definition for Outside Bar now does not require the previous bar to be opposite Colour (this the same as Inside Bars), but added a requirement for minimum size ratio compared to previous Bar (set to 1.1 by default). If you require previous Bar to be opposite colour, you could use Engulfing candles with Outside Bar option enabled.
Added Maximum size ratio requirement for Inside Bars (set to 0.9 by default).
版本注释: Minor Update.
Added OverSized candle Pattern, the pattern is labelled when candle is some ratio (default 5) bigger than current ATR of chart time frame.
Added Option to Change ATR Length.
版本注释: Patch
Correct Polarity of Oversize Bar labelling.
中文解释：
价格行为交易，此指标能够显示出来K线所代表的意思，比如PB就是PINBAR的意思 就是倒锤头线，反转概率大于延续概率。
OB就是吞没的意思，不管是阴吞没还是阳吞没 我们根据PA入场就行，标准是回撤50%入场。而ODJI就是黄昏星，启明星的意思。
这个指标在添加的时候是空白的，需要人工去点设置，把需要使用的功能打上钩钩确认。这样就能够在图表上面显示出来了。
如果不希望显示彩色K线同样也可以设置哈！
数值和样式都 可以设置，在不懂指标的前提下推荐使用默认设置。只负责打勾勾就行。确认后就能够看到图表上面显示的指标了。

The Strat The Strat Bar Type Identifier – Pure Price Action Logic
This open-source indicator implements the foundational bar classification of "The Strat" method developed by Rob Smith. It identifies each candle on the chart as one of the three core types used in The Strat:
* Inside Bar (1): The candle’s range is fully within the previous candle’s range. This indicates consolidation or balance and often precedes breakouts or reversals.
* Two-Up Bar (2U): The current candle breaks the previous high but does not break its low. This is considered bullish directional movement.
* Two-Down Bar (2D): The current candle breaks the previous low but not the high. This signals bearish directional movement.
* Outside Bar (3): The candle breaks both the high and the low of the previous candle, signaling a broadening formation and high volatility.
The script plots a character below each candle based on its type:
* "1" for Inside Bar
* "2" for Two-Up or Two-Down (color-coded)
* "3" for Outside Bar
This tool helps traders quickly identify actionable setups according to The Strat method and serves as a foundation for more advanced strategies like the 3-1-2 reversal or 1-2-2 continuation.
All calculations are based purely on price action—no indicators, no smoothing, no lagging elements. It is ideal for traders looking to understand price structure and bar sequencing from a Strat perspective.
To use:
1. Add the indicator to any chart and timeframe.
2. Look for the numbers below the candles.
3. Analyze the sequence of bar types to spot Strat setups.
This script is educational and can be extended with multi-timeframe context, FTFC logic, actionable signals, or broadening formation detection.
Clean, minimal, and faithful to the core principles of The Strat.
Higher Time Frame Fair Value Gap [ZeroHeroTrading]A fair value gap (FVG) highlights an imbalance area between market participants, and has become popular for technical analysis among price action traders.
A bullish (respectively bearish) fair value gap appears in a triple-candle pattern when there is a large candle whose previous candle’s high (respectively low) and subsequent candle’s low (respectively high) do not fully overlap the large candle. The space between these wicks is known as the fair value gap.
The following script aims at identifying higher timeframe FVG's within a lower timeframe chart. As such, it offers a unique perspective on the formation of FVG's by combining the multiple timeframe data points in the same context.
You can change the indicator settings as you see fit to achieve the best results for your use case.
Features
It draws higher timeframe bullish and bearish FVG's on the chart.
For bullish (respectively bearish) higher timeframe FVG's, it adds the buying (respectively selling) pressure as a percentage ratio of the up (respectively down) volume of the second higher timeframe bar out of the total up (respectively down) volume of the first two higher timeframe bars.
It adds a right extended trendline from the most recent lowest low (respectively highest high) to the top (respectively bottom) of the higher timeframe bullish (respectively bearish) FVG.
It detects and displays higher timeframe FVG's as early as one starts forming.
It detects and displays lower timeframe (i.e. chart's timeframe) FVG's upon confirmation.
It allows for skipping inside first bars when evaluating FVG's.
It allows for dismissing higher timeframe FVG's if there is no update for any period of the chart's timeframe. For instance, this can occur at lower timeframes during low trading activity periods such as extended hours.
Settings
Higher Time Frame FVG dropdown: Selects the higher timeframe to run the FVG detection on. Default is 15 minutes. It must be higher than, and a multiple of, the chart's timeframe.
Higher Time Frame FVG color select: Selects the color of the text to display for higher timeframe FVG's. Default is black.
Show Trend Line checkbox: Turns on/off trendline display. Default is on.
Show Lower Time Frame FVG checkbox: Turns on/off lower timeframe (i.e. chart's timeframe) FVG detection. Default is on.
Show Lower Time Frame FVG color select: Selects the color of the border for lower timeframe (i.e. chart's timeframe) FVG's. Default is white.
Include Inside Bars checkbox: Turns on/off the inclusion of inside first bars when evaluating FVG's. Default is on.
With Consistent Updates checkbox: Turns on/off consistent updates requirement. Default is on.
HBK Price Action Strategy HBKPrice Action Strategy for XAUUSD with a Favorable Risk-Reward Ratio
Understanding the Strategy:
This strategy leverages price action principles to identify potential entry and exit points for XAUUSD on a 5-minute timeframe. The core idea is to identify price action patterns that suggest a high probability of a particular direction, and then to set stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and reward.
Key Price Action Patterns to Watch:
Pin Bar: A pin bar is a candlestick with a long wick in one direction and a small body in the opposite direction. It often signals a reversal in the current trend.
Inside Bar: An inside bar forms when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. It often indicates indecision or a potential breakout.
Engulfing Pattern: An engulfing pattern occurs when the current candle completely engulfs the previous candle. A bullish engulfing pattern signals a potential uptrend, while a bearish engulfing pattern signals a potential downtrend.
Risk-Reward Ratio:
A favorable risk-reward ratio is crucial for long-term trading success. Aim for a minimum risk-reward ratio of 1:2, meaning you risk $1 to potentially gain $2.
Entry and Exit Signals:
Long Entry:
Identify a bullish pin bar or engulfing pattern.
Wait for a confirmation candle to close above the pin bar's high or the engulfing pattern's high.
Place a stop-loss below the recent swing low.
Set a take-profit target at a key resistance level or a multiple of the stop-loss distance.
Short Entry:
Identify a bearish pin bar or engulfing pattern.
Wait for a confirmation candle to close below the pin bar's low or the engulfing pattern's low.
Place a stop-loss above the recent swing high.
Set a take-profit target at a key support level or a multiple of the stop-loss distance.
Additional Tips:
Use Support and Resistance Levels: Identify key support and resistance levels to set your stop-loss and take-profit targets.
Consider Market Sentiment: Pay attention to market sentiment and news events that may impact gold prices.
Manage Risk: Always use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
Be Patient: Don't force trades. Wait for high-probability setups.
Practice Discipline: Stick to your trading plan and avoid impulsive decisions.
Remember:
Price action trading requires practice and patience.
Backtest your strategy on historical data to refine your approach.
Always adapt to changing market conditions.
By following these guidelines and practicing disciplined risk management, you can increase your chances of success in trading XAUUSD on a 5-minute timeframe.
Inside Candle alert V1 By HARSH DEO SINGHA breakout long signal is generated when the current high crosses above the previous mother bar's high, and it's an inside bar.
A breakdown short signal is generated when the current low crosses below the previous mother bar's low, and it's an inside bar.
The script plots triangle shapes below breakout long signals and above breakdown short signals.
Alert conditions are added for inside bars, breakout long, and breakdown short.
Please note that this is a basic example, and you can further refine and optimize your strategy based on your specific trading rules and preferences. Always remember to backtest and paper trade any strategy before using it with real money.
Intrabar Volume Distribution [BigBeluga]Intrabar Volume Distribution is an advanced volume and order flow indicator that visualizes the buy and sell volume distribution within each candlestick.
🔔 Before Use:
Turn off the background color of your candles for clear visibility.
Overlay the indicator on the top layout to ensure accurate alignment with the price chart.
🔵 Key Features:
Inside Bar Volume Visualization:
Each candlestick is divided into two columns:
Left column displays the sell % volume amount.
Right column displays the buy % volume amount.
Provides a clear representation of buyer-seller activity within individual bars.
Percentage Volume Labels:
Labels above each bar show the percentage share of sell and buy volume relative to the total (100%).
Quickly assess market sentiment and volume imbalances.
Point of Control (POC) Levels:
Orange dashed lines mark the POC inside each bar, indicating the price level with the highest traded volume.
Helps identify key liquidity zones within individual candlesticks.
Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis:
The indicator automatically uses a timeframe 20-30 times lower than the current one to gather detailed volume data.
For each higher timeframe candle, it collects 20-30 bars of lower timeframe data for precise volume mapping.
Each bar is divided into 100 volume bins to capture detailed volume distribution across the price range.
Bins are filled based on the aggregated volume from the lower timeframe data.
Lookback Period:
Allows traders to select how many bars to display with delta and volume information.
The beginning of the selected lookback period is marked with a gray line and label for quick reference.
Indicator displays up to 80 bars back
🔵 Usage:
Order Flow Analysis: Monitor buy/sell volume distribution to spot potential reversals or continuations.
Liquidity Identification: Use POC levels to locate areas of strong market interest and potential support/resistance.
Volume Imbalance Detection: Pay attention to percentage labels for quick recognition of buyer or seller dominance.
Scalping & Intraday Trading: Ideal for traders seeking real-time insight into order flow and volume behavior.
Historical Analysis: Adjust the lookback period to analyze past price action and volume activity.
Intrabar Volume Distribution is a powerful tool for traders aiming to gain deeper insight into market sentiment through detailed volume analysis, allowing for more informed trading decisions based on real-time order flow dynamics.

Note: this is a simplified version of these rules - if you look at the cheat sheets floating around the internet, you'll notice that all trade initiations occur on a break of the high (for longs) or low (for shorts) of the previous candle as long as that previous candle was not a 2. So that's my only rule for going long or short. I think it matches well with the cheat sheets but is way simpler to code and to think of how it works. The other benefit is it shows you failed trades that the cheat sheet won't catch - where a 2 becomes a 3 in the other direction and stops you out. You'll see that now with this script.
Ability to filter out the long/short rules based on the timeframe continuity of the higher timeframe candles. This is user-configurable so that you can experiment with timeframe continuity and see how strict you want to be with this on your trades.
Show the high/low of the Day, Week, and Month on your chart as horizontal lines that you can use as a reference. This could be used for planning profit targets or seeing how likely a reversal might indicate moving into timeframe continuity.

Candle Range Detector by TradeTech AnalysisCandle Range Detector by TradeTech Analysis
This advanced indicator identifies and visualizes price compression zones based on inside bar formations, then tracks how price behaves around those zones — offering valuable insights into liquidity sweeps, range expansions, and trap/mitigation behavior.
The script builds upon the foundational concept of range-based price action, commonly used by institutional traders, and adds automation, mitigation tracking, and sweep detection to map how price reacts around these critical ranges.
🔍 How It Works:
• Range Formation: A new range is detected when the current candle forms entirely within the high and low of the previous candle (i.e., an inside bar). This behavior often indicates price compression and potential breakout zones.
• Range Extension: Once a range is confirmed, the script projects upper and lower boundaries (using either a percentage-based multiplier or Fibonacci log extension), providing context for expected breakout zones.
• Mitigation Tracking: The script continuously monitors whether price breaks above or below the projected extensions, marking that range as mitigated — useful for confirming whether liquidity was absorbed.
• Sweep Detection: If price re-visits a mitigated zone and shows signs of a liquidity sweep (via wick + close behavior), the indicator triggers visual sweep labels and optional alerts.
🧠 Optional Visual Enhancements:
• Highlight range-forming candles with light blue background (toggle on/off)
• Midpoint dotted line for symmetry analysis
• Labels for “Range High” and “Range Low” for visual clarity
• Dynamic box drawing that adapts upon mitigation or continuation
⚙️ Customizable Features:
• Choose between Normal and Fibonacci-based detection modes
• Toggle visibility of range boxes, extension lines, and sweep markers
• Configure sweep alerts, mitigation window size, and visual transparency
⸻
🧪 Use Cases
• Identify consolidation zones before major price moves
• Confirm liquidity sweeps for entry/exit traps
• Visualize and test mitigation behavior of past zones
• Combine with Order Flow or Volume Profile tools to enhance context
⸻
⚠️ This is a fully original implementation that goes beyond classical inside-bar scanners by incorporating mitigation, extension projection, and liquidity sweeps — making it a powerful tool for intraday, swing, and even Smart Money-based trading setups.

Al Brooks - SuiteThis indicator is designed to identify some key terms and methodologies inspired by Al Brooks price action. It helps trades to easy recognize for example i/ii/iii patterns or shaved bars defined in his books.
i/ii/iii : Single to triple inside bars. Every bar an inside bar to the previous. This can indiciate a potential contination or reversal pattern. (marked with "i")
o/oo/ooo : Single to triple outside bars. Not defined by Al Brooks, but could be an interesting area to develop a strategy. (marked with "o")
Shaved bar : A bar with little or no tail/wick on one or both sides. It can indicate strong directional movement or momentum. (marked with "s"
The timeframe is not important for the validation of the patterns.
SMC Fake Zones + InsideBarThis indicator is useful for whom trade with "Smart Money Concept (SMC)" strategy.
It helps SMD traders to identify fake or weak zones in the chart, So they can avoid taking position in this zones.
This indicator marks "Asia session" as well as "London and New York's Lunch Time (one hour before London and NY session starts)" zones.
It also marks Inside Bar candles which SMC trades consider as order flow. You can mark every Inside Bar or only those with opposite color via setting options.
*** As we know in SMC rules
1- Supply and Demand zones in "Asia session and Lunch Times" are fake zones for SMC trading and price will engulf them in most of times.
2- "Asia session high and low" has huge liquidity and usually price sweep that in London session.
This indicator will helps traders to visually identify those Fake zones and Asia session liquidity.
* You can change session times based on your time zone in settings.
* You can set options to show all Inside Bars or only with Opposite color in settings.
