ICT Smart Money Liquidity LevelsThe ICT Smart Money Liquidity Levels indicator is designed to visualize key liquidity areas across multiple timeframes. Based on ICT concepts, this tool can help traders analyze price movement, liquidity sweeps, and expansion levels without switching between timeframes.
This indicator highlights liquidity levels at significant highs and lows, allowing users to track potential areas of interest where price may react. By also incorporating historical measurements, it also provides forecasted average sweep and expansion zones.
Features:
- Liquidity Levels
Plots previous HTF candle highs and lows. Available for 1H, 4H, Daily.
- Major Liquidity Levels
Highlights areas where price previously reached a significant high or low within 10 HTF candles. Available for 1H, 4H, Daily.
- Sweep and Expansion Forecast
Uses historical price data to forecast the average sweep and expansion levels for the next HTF candle. Available for 4H, Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
Why Is This Indicator Useful?
Based on ICT concepts, price seeks liquidity, often targeting trapped stops above highs and below lows before reversing or continuing its trend. High-timeframe (HTF) highs and lows, such as 1H, 4H, and Daily liquidity levels, act as natural draw points where price is likely to react. These levels represent areas where stop hunts, liquidity grabs, and institutional order flow often take place. By marking these zones, traders can anticipate where price may seek liquidity before making a significant move.
Additionally, historical liquidity sweeps and expansion zones provide insight into how price has behaved in similar situations in the past. According to ICT methodology, price often manipulates liquidity before expanding in the intended direction. By tracking average sweep and expansion levels, traders can forecast potential price movement, aligning their entries with areas where liquidity has historically been taken or distributed.

Global Liquidity ShiftedOverview
This indicator tracks global liquidity by aggregating M2 money supply data from major economies around the world, denominated in US dollars. It allows users to shift the data forward or backward in time to analyze correlations with other assets, particularly Bitcoin.
Features
Comprehensive global liquidity measurement combining M2 data from 21 major economies
Adjustable time shift parameter (0-24 months) to align liquidity data with price movements
Clean visualization with customizable labels
Background
Based on research by Lyn Alden and Sam Callahan (September 2024), which found that Bitcoin moves in the direction of global liquidity 83% of the time in any given 12-month period - a higher correlation than any other major asset class. This makes Bitcoin an excellent "global liquidity barometer."
How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart
Adjust the "Forward Shift (Months)" parameter to align global liquidity with asset price movements
Compare the shifted liquidity line with Bitcoin or other asset prices to identify correlations and potential divergences
Included Economies
This indicator aggregates M2 data from:
North America: US, Canada
Eurozone
Non-EU Europe: Switzerland, UK, Finland, Russia
Asia: China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Philippines, Singapore
Latin America: Brazil, Colombia, Mexico
Middle East: UAE, Turkey
Africa: South Africa
Pacific: New Zealand
## Interpretation
Rising global liquidity typically supports risk assets, particularly Bitcoin. When liquidity contracts, risk assets often face headwinds. By shifting the liquidity data, you can identify lead/lag relationships between liquidity conditions and asset prices.
Notes
All M2 data is converted to USD to account for both money supply changes and relative currency strength
The indicator serves as a macro framework for understanding liquidity-driven market cycles

Quantum Liquidity Fractal Dynamics (QLFD) v2.1The Quantum Liquidity Fractal Dynamics (QLFD) v2.1 is an advanced multi-dimensional market analysis too l engineered for professional traders seeking to identify high-probability liquidity-driven reversals. Built upon a proprietary Fractal-Liquidity Convergence Model (FLCM), QLFD v2.1 leverages quantum-phase liquidity oscillations and institutional absorption mapping to dynamically assess order flow efficiency within multi-timeframe market structures.
Core Algorithmic Methodology
QLFD v2.1 integrates a Hybridized Recursive Liquidity Matrix (HRLM) with High-Frequency Adaptive EMA Displacement (HFAED) to model non-linear liquidity density clusters. This proprietary framework is further reinforced by a Multi-Layered RSI Vorticity Filter (MLRVF), enhancing the signal integrity by filtering out stochastic noise anomalies.
The EMA-200 Rejection Dynamics, combined with the Vortex RSI Momentum Refraction Index (VRMRI), allow the system to isolate institutional footprint imbalances. By capturing transient liquidity voids and microstructure inefficiencies, QLFD v2.1 enables traders to position themselves ahead of high-probability liquidity sweeps.
Signal Efficiency & Institutional Calibration
While QLFD v2.1 exhibits an exceptionally high accuracy rate in identifying potential reversal vectors, it is imperative for traders to exercise institutional-grade signal filtration. The indicator autonomously detects Phase-Induced False Signal Clusters (PIFSCs), yet discretion remains paramount in avoiding transient liquidity mirages—a common occurrence in markets exhibiting hyper-fractalized liquidity dislocations.
For optimal performance, professional traders must apply a Multi-Stage Confirmation Protocol (MSCP), leveraging additional confluence layers such as:
Order Flow Delta Cohesion (OFDC)
Gamma-Weighted Imbalance Deviation (GWID)
Synthetic Volume Shockwave Ratio (SVSR)
These advanced methodologies ensure that traders engage only with high-probability fractal reversals, filtering out structurally unreliable signals induced by inter-market arbitrage distortions.
Final Thoughts
QLFD v2.1 is not designed for retail-grade signal chasing. It is an institutional-grade analytical framework tailored for professionals who understand the fractal complexity of modern liquidity landscapes. Mastering the art of discretionary filtration—by distinguishing true liquidity-driven reversals from algorithmically-induced decoy impulses—is the key to leveraging this system’s full potential.
Risk Matrix [QuantraSystems]Risk Matrix
The Risk Matrix is a sophisticated tool that aggregates a variety of fundamental inputs, primarily external (non-crypto) market data is used to assess investor risk appetite. By combining external macroeconomic factors and proxies for liquidity data with specific signals from the cryptomarket - the Risk Matrix provides a holistic view of market risk conditions. These insights are designed to help traders and investors make informed decisions on when to adopt a risk-on or risk-off approach.
Core Concept
The Risk Matrix functions as a dynamic risk assessment tool that integrates both fundamental and technical market indicators to generate an aggregated Z-score. This score helps traders to identify where the market is in a risk-off or risk-on state, The system provides both binary risk signals and a more nuanced “risk seasonality” mode for deeper analysis.
Key Features
Global Liquidity Aggregate - The Liquidity score is a custom measure of global liquidity, built by combining a variety of traditional financial metrics. These include data from central bank balance sheets, reverse repo operations and credit availability. This data is sourced from organizations such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the People’s Bank of China. The purpose of this aggregate is to gauge how much liquidity is available in the global financial system - which often correlates with risk sentiment. Rising liquidity tends to boost risk-on appetite, while liquidity contractions signal increased caution (risk-off) in the markets. The data sources used in this global liquidity aggregate include:
- U.S. Commercial Bank Credit data
- Federal Reserve balance sheet and reverse repo operations
- Liquidity from major central banks including the Fed, Bank of Japan, ECB, and PBoC
- Asset performance from major global financial indices such as the S&P 500, TLT, DXY (U.S. Dollar Index), MOVE (bond market volatility), and commodities like gold and oil.
Other key Z-scores (measured individually) - The Risk Matrix also incorporates other major Z-scores that represent different facets of the financial markets:
- Collateral Risk - A measure of US bond volatility, where higher values indicate higher interest rate risk - leading to potential market instability and cautious market behaviors.
- Stablecoin Dominance - The dominance of stablecoins in the crypto markets - which can signal risk aversion the total capital allocated to stables increases relative to other cryptocurrencies.
- US Currency Strength - The U.S. Dollar Index Z-score reflects currency market strength, with higher values typically indicating risk aversion as investors sell more volatile assets and flock to the dollar.
- Trans-pacific Monetary Bias - Signals capital flow and monetary trends that link between the East and West, heavily influencing global risk sentiment.
- Total - A measure of the total cryptocurrency market cap, signaling broader risk sentiment with the crypto market.
Neural Network Synthesis - The NNSYNTH component adds a machine learning inspired layer to the Risk Matrix. This custom indicator synthesizes inputs from various technical indicators (such as RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and others) to generate a composite signal that reflects the health of the cryptomarket. While highly complex in its design, the NNSYNTH ultimately helps detect market shifts early by synthesizing multiple signals into one cohesive output. This score is particularly useful for gauging momentum and identifying potential turning points in market trends. Because the NNSYNTH is a closed source indicator, and it is included here, the Risk Matrix by extension is a closed source indicator.
How it Works
Z-score Aggregation - The Risk Matrix computes a final risk score by aggregating several Z-scores from different asset classes and data sources, all of which contribute proportionally to the overall market risk assessment. Each input is equally weighted - normalization allows for direct comparisons across global liquidity trends, currency fluctuations, bond market volatility and crypto market conditions. Furthermore, this system employs multi-calibration aggregation - where each individual matrix is itself an aggregate of multiple Z-scores derived from various timeframes. This ensures that each matrix captures a distinct average across different time horizons before being combined into the overall Risk Matrix. This layered, multi timeframe approach enhances the precision and robustness of the final Z-score.
Risk-On / Risk-Off Mode - The system’s binary mode provides a clear Risk On and Off signal. This nature of this signal is determined by the behavior of the Z-score relative to the midline, or Standard Deviation Bands, depending on specific conditions:
Risk-On is signaled when the aggregated final Z-score crosses above 0. However, in extreme oversold conditions, Risk-On can trigger early if the upper standard deviation band falls below the zero line. In such cases, the Risk-On signal is triggered when the z-score crosses the upper standard deviation band - without waiting to cross the midline.
Risk-Off is signaled when the final Z-score moves below 0. Similarly, Risk-Off can also be triggered early if the lower standard deviation band rises above the midline. In this instance, Risk-Off is triggered when the Z-score crosses below the lower band.
Risk Seasonality Mode - This mode offers a more gradual transition between risk states, measuring the change in the Z-score to visualize the shifts in risk appetite over time. It's useful for traders seeking to understand broader market cycles and risk phases. The seasonality view breaks down the market into the following phases:
Risk-On - High risk appetite where risk/cyclical markets are generally bullish.
Weakening - Markets showing signs of cooling off, here the higher beta assets tend to sell off first.
Risk-Off - Investors pull back, and bearish sentiment prevails.
Recovery - Signs of bottoming out, potential for market re-entry.
Component Matrices - Each individual Z-score is visualized as part of the component matrices - scaled to a 3 Sigma range. These component matrices allow traders to view how each data source is contributing to the overall risk assessment in real time - offering transparency and granularity.
Visuals and UI
Main Risk Matrix - The aggregated Z-Score is displayed saliently in the main risk matrix. Traders and investors can quickly see what season the Risk Matrix is signaling and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Overview Table - A detailed overview table shows the current confirmed Z-scores for each component, along with values from 2, and 3 bars back. This helps traders spot trends and the rate of change (RoC) between signals, offering additional insights for shorter-term risk management.
Customizability - Users can customize the visual elements of the matrix, including color palettes, table sizes, and positions. This allows for optimal integration into any trader’s existing workspace.
Usage Summary
The Risk Matrix is an incredibly versatile tool. It is especially valuable as a means of achieving a cross-market view of risk, incorporating both crypto-specific and macroeconomic factors. Some key use cases include:
Adjusting Capital Allocation Based on Risk Seasons - Traders can use the Risk Matrix to adjust their capital allocation dynamically. During Risk-On periods, they might increase exposure to long positions, capitalizing on stronger market conditions. Conversely, during Risk-Off periods, traders could reduce or hedge long positions and potentially scale up short positions or move into safer assets.
Complementing Other Trading Systems - The Risk Matrix can work alongside other technical systems to provide context to market moves. For instance, a trend-following strategy might suggest an entry, but the Risk Matrix could be used to verify whether the broader market conditions support this trade. If the Matrix is in a Risk-Off period, a trader might opt for more conservative trade sizes or avoid the trade entirely.
This flexibility allows traders to adjust their strategies and portfolio risk dynamically, enhancing decision making based on broader market conditions - as indicated by external macroeconomic factors, liquidity, and risk sentiment.
Important Note
The Risk Matrix always uses the most up-to-date data available, ensuring analysis reflects the latest market conditions and macroeconomic inputs. In rare cases, governments or financial institutions revise past data - and the Risk Matrix will adjust accordingly. This behavior can only be seen in the Liquidity Matrix. and can affect the final score. While this is uncommon, it highlights the benefit of using a system that adapts in real-time, incorporating the most accurate and current information to enhance decision making processes.
LIT_Globas_sys - Liquidity Inducement Theorem (SMC, IDM)LIT_GLOBAL_SYS Trading Tool Documentation, is a comprehensive market analysis tool that includes all components needed for trading according to Liquidity Inducement Theorem (LIT). LIT differs from classical trading methods and is considered a highly effective and profitable strategy.
What can LIT_GLOBAL_SYS do?
--- Market Structure
The main feature of Liquidity Inducement Theorem is building the correct structure, specifically construction taking into account inducement (IDM). Thus, a new HH or LL can only form when the price has taken the first correct pullback - inducement (IDM), and after this, we understand the location of BoS (break of structure) and CHoCH (change of character).
LIT_GLOBAL_SYS automatically and perfectly displays the correct structure following all LIT rules. Looking at the indicator, a trader always understands which range the price is currently in and where it's trending at the moment. The indicator also shows dynamic (live) levels, providing a clear understanding of the market structure in real-time.
The indicator settings allow customization of each structural element according to trader preferences. For example, you can change the style, color, and shape of structural objects.
--- Correct Pullbacks and Inside Bars
In Liquidity Inducement Theorem, correct pullbacks are fundamental. The structure, order blocks, liquidity levels, order flow, and single candle order blocks (CSOB) are all built based on pullbacks.
What is a pullback?
- When the next candle updates the low of the previous candle, we can finish drawing an upward pullback
- We can start drawing a downward correct pullback when the next candle updates the low of the previous candle
- The downward movement will continue until the opposite occurs - updating the high of the previous candle
There are complexities in determining pullbacks - these are inside bars. In Liquidity Inducement Theorem, inside bars are completely ignored!
For example, in an upward movement, at some point, candles may stop updating the high and low of the previous candle and remain within the boundaries of the previous candle. Theoretically, there could be any number of such candles from 1 to infinity. In such cases, it's important to wait for the price to exit the mother candle (the candle after which other candles remained within its high and low range).
LIT_GLOBAL_SYS easily handles this and displays both pullbacks and inside bars correctly.
--- Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
In Liquidity Inducement Theorem, order blocks are defined differently from classical order blocks:
1. The order block must take liquidity from the previous candle
2. The order block must have Fair Value Gaps (FVG) before it
3. Inside bars are completely ignored for both Order Blocks and FVG
4. If an OB fulfills the first condition (taking liquidity from the previous candle) but doesn't have FVG before it, this block is moved forward along the candles until there is an imbalance before it
There are two most important order blocks in LIT strategy:
1. Inducement order block (idm ob) - the first order block after Inducement
2. Extreme order block (Ext ob) - the first order block before CHoCH
LIT_GLOBAL_SYS perfectly displays correct order blocks and Fair Value Gaps following all rules. It offers full customization options:
- Specify the number of displayed OBs
- Disable all order blocks except idm ob and Ext ob
- Change block frame color and style
- Disable or modify text display in blocks
--- Single Candle Order Block (Scob)
Rules for building Scob:
1. The candle takes liquidity from the previous candle and closes within the body of the previous candle
2. The candle following the Scob candle must close its body below the previous candle
3. Scob forms in continuation of the trend movement
4. Scob completely ignores inside bars
LIT_GLOBAL_SYS accurately displays Scob as triangles and fully ignores inside bars both left and right. The menu allows complete customization of display and quantity of displayed Scobs.
--- Liquidity Lines, Order Flow, and Three-Minute Rule
Auxiliary functions include:
- Liquidity Lines -
Each pullback is marked with a line, showing where unclosed liquidity exists. Completed lines can be hidden to help predict price movement and enter trades correctly.
- Order Flow -
The indicator implements order flow by drawing a line when a pullback is broken (closed by body) in the opposite direction until the second touch. If price moves away without a second touch, the line remains, showing unclosed OF and potential price return zones.
- Three-Minute Rule -
Some LIT traders use the three-minute rule: price manipulations in the last and first three minutes of each 15-minute candle are additional entry factors, especially in the last quarter of an hourly candle. LIT_GLOBAL_SYS displays this rule only on the one-minute timeframe with symbols below for M15 and H1.
--- Trading Sessions, PDH/PDL, and EMA
The system includes:
- Trading sessions (Tokyo, Frankfurt, London, New York) with customizable time settings
- Previous Day High and Previous Day Low (pdh/pdl) levels
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with adjustable length
- Equilibrium display between current BoS and CHoCH levels
--- Alert System
LIT_GLOBAL_SYS includes all necessary alerts for Liquidity Inducement Theorem:
1. SCOB
2. EMA
3. BoS, ChoCh, Sweep
4. IDM
5. IDM OB and Ext OB
Users can simply check the desired alerts in the menu and activate them to receive notifications when price reaches specified zones.
Support, Resistance & Liquidity Pool ZonesSupport, Resistance & Liquidity Pool Zones

It is designed to help traders identify key price levels and liquidity traps that can trigger significant market reactions.
Key Features:
Support & Resistance Levels:
The indicator identifies pivot highs and pivot lows as potential resistance and support levels, respectively.
You can customize the number of levels shown on the chart, making it easier to focus on the most recent and relevant price levels.
Liquidity Pool Zones:
The script detects liquidity pool zones, which are areas with above-average trading volume. These zones often act as regions of interest where price accumulation or distribution occurs, potentially leading to significant price moves.
Liquidity zones are shaded to help traders visually identify areas of high interest in the market.
Customizable Settings:
You can adjust the pivot period to fine-tune how the indicator calculates support and resistance.
Control the number of support/resistance levels displayed on the chart and the period used to detect liquidity pools.

Alerts:
The script includes built-in alerts for when the price breaks above resistance or falls below support, helping traders catch key breakout opportunities.
How It Works:
The script calculates support and resistance levels using pivot highs and lows based on the user-defined pivot period.
It monitors liquidity pool zones by comparing the current trading volume with the average volume over a customizable period. When the volume exceeds the set threshold, a liquidity pool zone is highlighted, providing insight into where the market may accumulate or distribute.
Alerts are triggered when the price breaks above the first resistance level or falls below the first support level, giving traders immediate notification of key market events.
How to Use:
Tune the Pivot Period: Adjust the pivot period to your preferred time horizon (default: 10 bars).
Set Liquidity Pool Parameters: Customize the number of bars considered for liquidity pool detection and the volume multiplier to detect high-volume zones.
Monitor Breakouts: Use the built-in alerts to catch potential breakout or breakdown opportunities near support and resistance levels.
This script is ideal for traders looking for an easy-to-use tool to visualize support and resistance levels and liquidity pools, aiding in decision-making and trade management.
[DarkTrader] Swing OrderflowSwing Orderflow is a indicator that helps traders detect key swing highs and lows in price action. It is designed to enhance your charting experience by highlighting important support and resistance levels while providing clear visual cues on market structure changes. By tracking swing pivots and price trends, this indicator enables traders to make more informed decisions regarding potential entry and exit points in the market.
This indicator is inspired by @Fractalyst Indicator :
The core functionality of the script revolves around detecting swing highs and lows based on a customizable swing period. It identifies these pivots by comparing price movements over a specific time window, marking the points where price either peaks or bottoms out. Swing highs are plotted as resistance levels when the price breaks above a certain threshold, while swing lows are plotted as support levels when price breaks below it. These key points are represented with dotted lines and labels on the chart for easy reference.
Indicator In Use :
Swing High Calculation
A swing high occurs when the high of a specific bar (or candle) is greater than the highs of the surrounding bars within a defined range (called the swing period).
Function used to find the highest price within a specified range : ta.highest(period)
If the current price is greater than the highest price of this period, it's marked as a potential swing high.
A swing high generally represents a resistance level, where the price has reached a peak before declining.
Swing Low Calculation
A swing low occurs when the low of a specific bar is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars within the swing period.
Function used to find the lowest price within a specified range : ta.lowest(period)
If the current price is lower than this lowest price, it's identified as a swing low.
Swing lows represent support levels, where the price reaches a bottom before bouncing back.
These points are plotted on the chart, and the script also tracks whether price breaks above the swing high or below the swing low to determine trends or possible reversals.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity)
BSL represents the Buy Side Liquidity, where traders are expected to have their buy orders (usually stop-loss orders for short positions).
When the price reaches a swing high, traders who are short may have stop orders placed above this level. Once these levels are breached, the script identifies this as a liquidity area where stop orders get triggered, causing potential upward price movement.
The script marks the swing high with a "BSL" label and line to indicate this key resistance and liquidity zone.
SSL (Sell Side Liquidity)
SSL refers to the Sell Side Liquidity, where traders place sell orders (usually stop-loss orders for long positions).
Swing lows are important levels where traders holding long positions place their stop orders. When the price drops below a swing low, it triggers these sell orders, causing potential downward price movement.
The script marks the swing low with an "SSL" label and line, signaling this key support and liquidity zone.
In essence, BSL and SSL represent areas where liquidity is pooled, making them critical points in price action. These liquidity areas, when breached, often lead to aggressive price moves, allowing traders to anticipate trends.
Daily Liquidity Peaks and Troughs [ST]Daily Liquidity Peaks and Troughs
Description in English:
This indicator identifies peaks and troughs of highest liquidity on a daily timeframe by analyzing volume data. It helps traders visualize key points of high buying or selling pressure, which could indicate potential reversal or continuation areas.
Detailed Explanation:
Configuration:
Lookback Length: This input defines the period over which the highest high and lowest low are calculated. The default value is 14. This means the script will look at the past 14 bars to determine if the current high or low is a pivot point.
Volume Threshold Multiplier: This input defines the multiplier for the average volume. For example, a multiplier of 1.5 means the volume needs to be 1.5 times the average volume to be considered a significant peak or trough.
Peak Color: This input sets the color for liquidity peaks. The default color is red.
Trough Color: This input sets the color for liquidity troughs. The default color is green.
Volume Calculation:
Average Volume: The script calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of the volume over the lookback period. This helps to identify periods of significantly higher volume.
Volume Threshold: The threshold is determined by multiplying the average volume by the volume threshold multiplier. Only volumes exceeding this threshold are considered significant.
Identifying Peaks and Troughs:
Liquidity Peak: A peak is identified when the current high is the highest high over the lookback period and the current volume exceeds the volume threshold. This indicates a potential area of strong selling pressure.
Liquidity Trough: A trough is identified when the current low is the lowest low over the lookback period and the current volume exceeds the volume threshold. This indicates a potential area of strong buying pressure.
These peaks and troughs are marked on the chart with labels and shapes for easy visualization.
Plotting Peaks and Troughs:
Labels: The script uses labels to mark peaks and troughs on the chart. Peaks are marked with a red label and troughs with a green label.
Shapes: The script plots triangles above peaks and below troughs to highlight these areas visually.
Indicator Benefits:
Liquidity Identification: Helps traders identify key areas of high liquidity, indicating strong buying or selling pressure.
Visual Cues: Provides clear visual signals for potential reversal or continuation points, aiding in making informed trading decisions.
Customizable Parameters: Allows traders to adjust the lookback length and volume threshold to suit different trading strategies and market conditions.
Justification of Component Combination:
Peaks and Troughs Identification: Combining pivot points with volume analysis provides a robust method to identify significant liquidity areas. This helps in detecting potential market reversals or continuations.
Volume Analysis: Utilizing average volume and volume threshold ensures that only significant volume spikes are considered, enhancing the accuracy of identified peaks and troughs.
How Components Work Together:
The script first calculates the average volume over the specified lookback period.
It then checks each bar to see if it qualifies as a liquidity peak or trough based on the highest high, lowest low, and volume threshold.
When a peak or trough is identified, it is marked on the chart with a label and a shape, providing clear visual cues for traders.

Limite de Volume: O limite é determinado multiplicando o volume médio pelo multiplicador de limite de volume. Apenas volumes que excedem esse limite são considerados significativos.
Identificação de Picos e Fundos:
Pico de Liquidez: Um pico é identificado quando a máxima atual é a máxima mais alta no período de retrocesso e o volume atual excede o limite de volume. Isso indica uma potencial área de forte pressão de venda.
Fundo de Liquidez: Um fundo é identificado quando a mínima atual é a mínima mais baixa no período de retrocesso e o volume atual excede o limite de volume. Isso indica uma potencial área de forte pressão de compra.
Esses picos e fundos são marcados no gráfico com etiquetas e formas para fácil visualização.
Plotagem de Picos e Fundos:
Etiquetas: O script usa etiquetas para marcar picos e fundos no gráfico. Os picos são marcados com uma etiqueta vermelha e os fundos com uma etiqueta verde.
Formas: O script plota triângulos acima dos picos e abaixo dos fundos para destacar essas áreas visualmente.
Benefícios do Indicador:
Identificação de Liquidez: Ajuda os traders a identificar áreas-chave de alta liquidez, indicando forte pressão de compra ou venda.
Cues Visuais: Fornece sinais visuais claros para pontos potenciais de reversão ou continuação, auxiliando na tomada de decisões informadas.

It also features an additional "Global Liquidity" metric that is subsequently scaled and plotted.
First, several financial indicators are requested and combined to form the "Global Net Liquidity Indicator." A Rate of Change (RoC) is then calculated, and this RoC, alongside the Equity Hull Moving Average (HMA), is plotted. Next, a "Global Liquidity" measure is formed by combining various financial data.
In summary, this script involves achieving a comprehensive visualization of liquidity-related indicators and measures, providing an inclusive outlook into the nature of global liquidity trends.
The main plot is the 3 liquidity metrics averaged together and normalized then scaled between -1 and 1 for TPI scoring.
You can customize the weighting for each metric, as well as the lookback period for all 3 metrics.
-1 = Negative Trend
1 = Positive Trend
Yellow = Global Net Liquidity
Blue = RoC
Red = Equity HMA
This is insight into global liquidity, and not to be taken in anyway as trading signals. This is an analysis tool to be combined with further research.
Lune Technical Analysis Premium⬛️ Overview
Lune Technical Analysis is a state-of-the-art TradingView indicator, meticulously designed to provide real-time market insights. Distinguished by its non-repainting features that operate in real-time, this tool brings enhanced accuracy and timeliness to your market analysis.
🟦 Features
Lune Technical Analysis equips traders with an array of innovative features:
🔹 Candle Coloring: The Candle Coloring feature introduces an innovative approach to visualizing market sentiment by coloring chart candles. It is devised to streamline your market analysis, offering a readily digestible snapshot of market trends. For example, if you aim to gauge the predominant market sentiment promptly, enable this feature for instant candle color-coding in accordance with prevailing bullish or bearish market structures. Though it currently supports only Market Structure-based Candle Coloring, its settings can be manipulated for enabling or disabling this feature. This feature operates by applying predefined algorithms that interpret market sentiment, coloring the candles accordingly.
🔹 Chart Pattern Detection: This sophisticated tool automatically detects and illustrates common chart patterns on your chart, simplifying the process of pattern identification. It identifies a range of patterns such as Head & Shoulders, Inverted Head & Shoulders, Ascending/Descending Wedges, Broadening Wedges, various Triangles, and Double Tops/Bottoms, enhancing your confluence detection in the market. For example, upon detecting a Double Top pattern, you could anticipate a potential price reversal due to this bearish signal. The sensitivity of this tool can be customized according to your trading style, with lower settings for short-term changes and higher for long-term. This feature leverages predefined formulas and price action analysis to identify these patterns.
🔹 Trendlines: With the Automatic Trendline Drawing tool, your technical analysis becomes significantly more efficient and precise. This feature is engineered to identify upward and downward Trendlines, aiding in locating potential pivots, and market support/resistance. For instance, if the price consistently rebounds off a Trendline, it may continue to do so, serving as a support/resistance level. However, a break through the Trendline could signal potential volatility and trend change. This feature's sensitivity to price changes can be adjusted to either short or long-term. It works by tracing Trendlines based on price action and wick formations to detect potential pivots.
🔹 Liquidity Bubbles: Liquidity Bubbles is an advanced tool that pinpoints key liquidity areas and large positions in real-time. This feature significantly contributes to effective trading strategy formulation by highlighting potential entry and exit points. It operates in real-time, ensuring zero repaint or lag, and supports two modes: Enhanced Bubbles and Basic Bubbles. For instance, the detection of multiple bullish Liquidity Bubbles during a ranging market could suggest an upward price movement due to dominant bullish volume. This feature's settings include thresholds for insignificant bubble filtering and a mode selection feature. Liquidity Bubbles operates by applying a proprietary formula to volume data, determining general volume direction and potential positions.
🔹 Market Structure: The Market Structure tool identifies key market structures such as Break of Structures (BoS) and Change of Character (ChoCh), thereby enhancing your ability to read market trends and sentiment. This smart money concept gives you a unique insight into short-term and long-term market trends. For instance, the appearance of a bullish Break of Structure and Change of Character after a predominantly bearish market sentiment could suggest a new bullish trend. This feature allows users to select which Market Structures to display and calculates these structures based on the market's high and low points.
🔹 Order Blocks: Order Blocks provide a visual representation of areas where large market participants are likely to place orders. These zones, where significant buying or selling activity has occurred in the past, offer insightful data for future price movements. The Order Blocks feature operates in real-time, providing real-time Order Blocks without any lag. For instance, if the price enters a large Order Block with predominantly bullish volume, an upward price movement can be anticipated. However, if the price breaks through the block, it could suggest the block's invalidation and a likely continued price fall. You can configure the settings to enable an additional Order Block, customize timeframes, overlap functions, and apply a quality filter. This feature calculates Order Blocks using the volume and candle size data.
🔹 Supply/Demand Zones: This real-time tool identifies crucial supply and demand zones, revealing potential price reaction points. These zones, where supply (selling pressure) and demand (buying pressure) have historically impacted price significantly, provide traders with insights into potential areas of strong support (demand) and resistance (supply). For example, if the price enters a large supply zone, a price rejection could be anticipated due to historical selling pressure at this zone. The settings enable users to add an additional Supply/Demand Zone, customize the timeframe, and apply a quality filter. This feature identifies common Supply/Demand Zones patterns based on volume and the size of the zone and displays them on the chart.
🔹 Fair Value Gaps: The Fair Value Gaps tool is designed to identify potential price correction zones or "gaps". These areas, where the market price sharply deviated from the fair value, suggest potential price adjustments in the future. For instance, the formation of a bullish Fair Value Gap could indicate a future price drop to fill this gap, potentially followed by an upward movement if the gap was of fair value. The settings allow users to enable additional Fair Value Gaps, customize the timeframe, and apply a quality filter. This feature measures large market gaps based on the size of the gap and its volume.
These features and tools collectively offer a comprehensive solution for traders to understand and navigate the financial markets. It's important to remember that they are designed to assist in making informed trading decisions and should be used as part of a balanced trading strategy.
🟧 Usage
Lune Technical Analysis's unique feature set can be leveraged both individually and synergistically. It is important to understand each feature and experiment with different configurations to best suit your unique trading needs.
🔸 Example #1: The following example demonstrates how the Order Block and Liquidity Bubbles feature can be used together to enhance your market analysis.
Order Blocks work in real-time to identify key order zones based on price action. These zones are often crucial for predicting price fluctuations. Meanwhile, Liquidity Bubbles act as real-time visual cues that detect significant market positions, facilitating an understanding of market accumulation, distribution, and trapped positions.
In this instance, at point 1, a bearish Basic and Enhanced Liquidity Bubble is visible within a crucial Order Block. The combination of these indicators augments the bearish sentiment, leading to a potential price decrease. Similarly, at point 2, the conjunction of two bullish Basic Liquidity Bubbles within an Order Block strengthens the bullish sentiment, culminating in a subsequent price increase.
🔸 Example #2: The following example demonstrates how Supply and Demand Zones can be used to detect strong and quality supports and resistance.
Supply and Demand Zones operate in real-time, detecting crucial zones based on price action and volume. This feature is invaluable for predicting potential price reaction points.
At point 1, the price enters a Supply Zone, a historical hotspot for selling activity, which usually leads to a price rejection and consequent decrease. At point 2, a Demand Zone indicating a bullish sentiment suggests a potential reversal when the price touches this level.
🔸 Example #3: The following example demonstrates how the Chart Pattern Detection feature is able to detect chart patterns to help enhance your trades.
Chart Pattern Detection employs formulas and price action analysis to identify common chart patterns as they form. Here, it successfully detects a 'Head and Shoulders' pattern, a conventionally bearish pattern, indicating a potential price drop.
🟥 Conclusion
Lune Technical Analysis stands as an exceptional blend of real-time insights into market activity. Its real-time, non-repainting features offer traders a more precise and timely approach to market analysis, promoting improved decision making in ever-changing market conditions.

Swing Volume Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Swing Volume Profiles indicator aims to calculate and highlight trading activity at specific price levels between two swing points; allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels based on volume.
By measuring traded volume at all price levels in the market over a specified time period, the script can also be used to detect some key analysis generally such as supply & demand, buy-side & sell-side liquidity levels, unfilled liquidity voids, and imbalances that can highlight on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
A volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
Key Levels are the areas where the volume is concentrated or where there are significant volume spikes. These levels are known as key support and resistance levels. High-volume nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
Volume profile also helps identify value areas, which represent the price levels where the most trading activity has taken place. These levels can act as areas of support or resistance as traders perceive them as fair value.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded. Extending PoC options 'Until Bar Cross' or 'Until Bar Touch' helps in identifying Naked Point of Control Lines.
Previous PoC levels can serve as support and resistance for future price movements. Extending PoC Level 'Until Last Bar' option will help to identify such levels.
🔶 DETAILS
One of the unique features of the script is its ability to detect some other key levels such as levels of acceptance and rejection.
Levels of rejection we may summarize as supply and demand levels, these are also referred to as buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. They usually occur at extreme highs or lows, where prices may be too high for buyers (high supply, low demand) or too low for sellers (low supply, high demand)
Levels of acceptance are the levels where Liquidity Voids occur, these are also referred to imbalances. Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up, so we call them levels of acceptance.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case:

🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Alternative Liquidity Void Detection script, Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity
BTCUSD Price prediction based on central bank liquidityIn recent months the idea that Bitcoin prices are increasingly linked to liquidity provided by central banks has gained strength. Multiple opinion leaders in the bitcoin space have shared their thoughts to explain why this is happening and why it makes sense. Some of these people I'm talking about are Preston Pysh, Dr. Jeff Ross, Steven McClurg, Lynn Alden among others.
The reality is that the correlation between market liquidity, measured as Assets held by the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan and European Central bank, and Bitcoin prices is high. This made me wonder whether a regression between "market liquidity" and BTCUSD prices made sense in order to understand where Bitcoin prices are in relation to the liquidity in the market. After several trials I ended up fitting a polynomial regression of degree 5 between Market Liquidity and BTCUSD prices since 2013. This regression resulted in r-squared value of 90.93%. I initially visualized the results in python notebooks but then I thought it would be cool to be able to see them in real-time in tradingview.
That's where this script comes handy...
This script takes the coefficients and intercept from the polynomial regression I built and applies them to the "market_liquidity" index. In addition, it adds upper and lower bound lines to the prediction based on a 95% confidence interval. As you will see, particularly since 2020, the price of bitcoin has rarely been above or below the lines representing the 95% confidence interval. When price has actually crossed these lines it's been in moments where Bitcoin was highly overbought or oversold. Therefore this indicator could be used to understand when it's a good moment to enter or exit the market based on central bank fundamentals.
Here's the detailed step-by-step description of what the script does
1) It defines the coefficients obtained from running the regression betweeen "market liquidity" and BTCUSD. Market liquidity is defined as:
Market liquidity = FRED:WALCL + FX_IDX:JPYUSD*FRED:JPNASSETS + FX:EURUSD*FRED:ECBASSETSW - FRED:RRPONTSYD - FRED:WTREGEN
2) It defines a scale factor. The reason for this is that coefficients from the regression are very small numbers, given the huge numbers of the value of assets held by central banks. Pinescript doesn't support numbers with many decimals and rounds them to 0, so the coefficients had to be scaled up in order to be able to calculate the regression results.
3) It calculates market liquity with the formula defined above. Market liquidity is calculated in US Dollars.
4) It calculates the predicted BTCUSD price based on the coefficients and the market liquidity values.
5) It scales down the values by the same factor used to scale the coefficients up
6) It defines the standard deviation of the "potential_btcusd_price_scaled" and the actual BTCUSD prices.
7) It defines upper and lower bounds to the BTCUSD price prediction using a z-score of 1.96, which is equivalent to 95% confidence interval.
8) Lastly it plots the BTCUSD price prediction (orange) and the upper (red) and lower(green) confidence intervals.
The script can be updated as the correlation of BTCUSD to central bank assets changes (the slope values can be updated).
How to use it:
When actual BTCUSD price (blue line in the chart) crosses over the red line (upper bound) or crosses under the green line (lower bound) it should be taken as a sign that the price of BTCUSD may be overvalued or undervalued based on the value of assets held by major central banks.
ICT 2022 Mentorship Model [TFO]An attempt at programming the logic from the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) 2022 Mentorship Model. It's not perfect by any means, and NOT intended as a substitute for learning the model itself. I just wanted to share what I’ve been able to make thus far. PLEASE read this description thoroughly before reaching out with questions.
How it works, as of the initial release (bullish example):
When major Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) is taken, this script will start looking for displacement through a recent swing high, marking a potential Market Structure Shift (MSS)
From the bar that created the MSS, displacement is deemed valid if the range of that bar is greater than the standard deviation of recent price history, multiplied by the “Displacement Strength” parameter. Valid displacement also requires that a Fair Value Gap (FVG) was created
Once the above conditions are met, the script will assume we are now seeking Buy Side Liquidity (BSL), and will continue to look for long entries in an FVG after subsequent displacement through swing highs. *This script will keep looking for long entries until price takes out BSL*
Similarly, if price took out BSL and displaced through a swing low, the script will only look for short entries in an FVG until an SSL pivot is reached (alerts can be configured to show these potential entries)
Settings:
Show Structure Breaks: show breaks of structure on the current timeframe
Show Liquidity Taken: show when major liquidity has been traded through
Show Liquidity Pivots: show all pivots that are being considered as liquidity
Structure Pivot Strength: determines how strong a local high/low must be for structural pivots on the current timeframe
Liquidity Multiplier: this number, multiplied by Structure Pivot Strength, will determine the pivot strength used to find valid liquidity, which should always be greater than the Structure Pivot Strength
BOS Type: “Close” will only count structure breaks when price closes through a prior pivot, whereas “Wick” will include structure breaks even if price only wicks through the prior pivot
Show Displacement: show bar coloring for valid displacement through a swing high/low
Show Displacement FVG: show FVGs that results from valid displacement
Displacement Type: use “Open to Close” to look for displacement using only the body of a candle, or “High to Low” to use the candle’s entire price range
Displacement Strength: higher values will look for more significant displacement candles, and vice versa
Max Bars to Extend FVG: if an FVG has not been overwritten or invalidated, it will extend to the right for a maximum of this many bars
I recommend lowering the values for Structure Pivot Strength and Liquidity Multiplier for larger chart timeframes, and increasing the values for smaller timeframes. I prefer keeping the displacement strength to >= 3, which would be 3 times the standard deviation of recent price history.
Smart Money Concepts(v0.01) - SoldiSmart Money Concepts
We are very pleased to be releasing our latest addition to the Soldi tools, called Smart Money Concepts. What this indicator was built to be is a guideline and tool to help a trader develop the mental mind state of a Smart Money Trader. Picking up on the digital footprints that they might have missed! This is our first iteration of this tool but we have so so much more coming to bring to this tool! So much that we might need to release 2 scripts to be able to efficiently fit it all in. As always Soldi/MMCFX always try to raise the bar on what is possible with PineScript and what advanced concepts we can bring to the retail market with ease, this project was insanely fun trying to get together and we spent a lot of months talking with and doing sessions with very well versed traders who only specialize and solely trade live with Smart Money/ICT Concepts. After many months of talking with and working with these traders we believe we have put together a very unique tool that any SMC trader would love to have in their tool belt.
What is Smart Money Concepts?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) is the practice of trying to track the digital footprints left by Market Makers and large money traders like Institutional bodies and brokers. I believe this concept was originally developed by Inner Circle Trading (ICT), who has some great great content for free on YouTube. To my knowledge he was the father of the concepts being taken mainstream to retail individuals. Since then, there has been many other who have released content on these theories. For the sake of congruency we have only developed these tools based off the knowledge and practices taught by ICT.
What is Included within this tool?
What is currently Included with this tool are the following.
Market Structure - This includes Break of Structures (BOS) and Change of Characters (CHoCH), It was really important for us to define the different shifts that SMC traders track and follow so we built a unique customizable system that allows the traders to track these Market Structure shifts in real-time. Part of this module includes the option to plot the High/Low labels, by putting this settings on you will mark out the swing points as their respective Higher High(HH), High Low(HL), Lower Low(LL) and Lower High(LH) . This feature is a great way to help familiarize yourself with spotting these instances, there is a slight lag due to the nature of the calculations for tracking the Swing Points. By default we track 4 left bars and 4 right bars, on the 5th bar if the swing point returns true you will see the label plot itself. If you have a higher bar count you will need to wait till x+1 to see the label be plotted. eg. 7 bar count on the left and right, you will need to wait till the 8th bar to see the label be plotted.
By changing the bar counts you also change how the Market Structure module picks up the Market shifts (BOS/CHoCH)
4 bar left, 4 bar right example:
7 bar left, 7 bar right example:
Liquidity Sweep - This part of the Market Structure module is still being worked on and built out, this feature is meant to help a trader identify potential liquidity sweeps that have taken place past or present by switching the bar color to the user defined color (default yellow). There are many different types of liquidity sweeps that can take place and we are still working on the different profiles of these! More profiles will be added to the the updates in the future to help identify these potential trade areas
Liquidity Sweep example:
Trend Bars - This part of the Market Structure module helps traders identify structure trends based on the breaks of existing structure. Again this will shift as you play with the bar count settings, low bar count will identify faster swing points and shifts where as higher bar counts will identify longer term structures. By having this setting on it will change the bar colors to Red(Bearish) or Blue(Bullish) by default, we recommend to change your candles border settings to make this more visible.
7 bar left, 7 bar right. With High Low Labels and Trend Bars
Fair Value Gaps - This module will track the Fair Value Gaps and Imbalances that will take place in real-time. Once the final candle closes it will plot the FVG. Unlike other FVG indicators on TradingView we hold and store ALL the FVG's that take place, other indicators will only hold on to x amount of the FVG's and as new ones enter the list the old ones get bumped out. We didn't like this idea, so what we did was instead store all of the FVG's but create a threshold to where they would be plotted, eg. if you set the threshold to 4% it will only show you the FVG's within a 4% range from the current price. This way you still have access to all the data with out compromising but it helps you focus on the current data at hand.
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 3% threshold example
Fair Value Gap/Imbalance - 8% threshold example
Order Blocks - This was an especially interesting module to build, just like the FVG's we found that a lot if not all the authors on TradingView haven't actually been coming close to tracking and plotting true ICT style Order blocks. We set out to change that though, again through a unique approach we have built this Order Block indicator. To also comment on the other scripts out there that claim to track Order Blocks, not a SINGLE script mentions anything about Validated Order Blocks , which was especially important to all the SMC traders I have talked to and had help from building this indicator. Just like the FVG piece this also has a 'threshold' plot, but not only that it gives you the option to look at "No Validation" and "Validated" Order Blocks. With soon another style of Validation to choose from. If you choose the "Validated" option the script will actively seek Order Blocks that have a POI/liquidity sitting above it. I also want to make it clear that based on your bar count settings the order blocks will differ, as they are also based from structure breaks!
Order Blocks with "No Validation" example
Order Blocks with "Validation" example
Advanced Session Tracking - We always seek to out do what has been done and what we have already done, that being said we built our Advanced Session Tracking module to follow each user define Session's Open, High, Low, Close, Liquidity threshold and extend that into the next session . As per our last KillZone indicator we also included the Forward Plotting feature which will plot the defined sessions 24 hours in advance vs only showing you real time. Many if not all Session tracking tools on TradingView only show you real-time and in the past when the define sessions are but we find that to be a very silly practice because as SMC traders you know how important it is the relation between time and price. Instead of reacting to the sessions you and prepare for the sessions ahead of time anticipating when price might react to time.
note: There is a small bug with tracking the crypto based sessions, this is working to be fixed for the next update, check the release notes to see when the fix occurs
Session Background plots with forward plotting example
Session Backgrounds with High/Lows and Liquidity range example
What is to come with the updates?
We are always looking to improve anything, even if it is just a fraction better. That is why we are continuing to work with our SMC traders to refine the concepts, profiles, coding as well as the logic behind the calculations.
Here is a list of what we are planning and working on to be released in the updates to come!
Intra-Day Profiling - Each day has a profile, what we want to achieve is to track and predict these profiles
Liquidity Scanner - There are different types of liquidity that form and we want to be able to find and track these
Smart Trend Alerts - We want to combine quant methods into SMC to provide high probability trade ideas
User Suggestions - We are always open to work with the community to bring features they want

SMC - Institutional Confidence Oscillator [PhenLabs]📊 Institutional Confidence Oscillator
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Institutional Confidence Oscillator (ICO) revolutionizes market analysis by automatically detecting and evaluating institutional activity at key support and resistance levels using our own in-house detection system. This sophisticated indicator combines volume analysis, volatility measurements, and mathematical confidence algorithms to provide real-time readings of institutional sentiment and zone strength.
Using our advanced thin liquidity detection, the ICO identifies high-volume, narrow-range bars that signal institutional zone formation, then tracks how these zones perform under market pressure. The result is a dual-wave confidence oscillator that shows traders when institutions are actively defending price levels versus when they’re abandoning positions.
The indicator transforms complex institutional behavior patterns into clear, actionable confidence percentiles, helping traders align with smart money movements and avoid common retail trading pitfalls.

Execute Your Plan: Manually enter the trade using the provided logic, ensuring you implement strict risk management (1-2% of capital per trade).
🎯 Ideal For:
Swing Traders and Day Traders looking for high-quality, high-probability entries.
Those who understand and trade based on market structure, liquidity, and order flow.
Traders who prefer a disciplined, alert-based system over emotional decision-making.
📊 Key Features:
Fully Customizable: Adjust all parameters (ATR multiplier, RSI length, volume spike) to fit your trading style and the current market volatility.
Clear Visuals: Easy-to-see triangles and crosses plot the exact entry points and liquidity sweeps directly on your chart.
Non-Repainting: The logic uses confirmed closing prices to ensure signals do not repaint.
Disclaimer: This tool is designed to identify high-probability opportunities, not guaranteed wins. Always practice proper risk management and backtest the strategy before using real capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
PO3 Liquidity w/ CISD (DeadCat)Detailed Description:
What it does:
This indicator combines Power of Three (PO3) liquidity concepts with Change in State of Delivery (CISD) pattern recognition to identify high-probability trading setups. It automatically detects liquidity sweeps and confirms them through CISD patterns on higher timeframes.
How it works:
The script operates using a dual-timeframe approach:
Auto-Timeframe Selection: Automatically selects an appropriate higher timeframe based on your chart timeframe (1m→15m, 5m→1H, 15m→4H, etc.)
C2 Liquidity Detection: Identifies C2 setups when price sweeps below previous HTF lows (bullish) or above previous HTF highs (bearish), then closes back inside the previous range
CISD Pattern Recognition: Confirms C2 setups by detecting Change in State of Delivery patterns:
For bullish setups: Looks for bearish candles followed by bullish reclaim above the CISD level
For bearish setups: Looks for bullish candles followed by bearish rejection below the CISD level
Multi-Period Validation: Tracks setups across multiple HTF periods (up to 2 periods) before invalidation
Dynamic Zone Mapping: Creates trading zones between HTF open and equilibrium levels, with automatic C4 setup generation when conditions align
Key Features:
HTF Candle Visualization: Displays higher timeframe candles on your current chart for context
Trading Zones: Shows the optimal entry zone between HTF open and HTF equilibrium
CISD Confirmation Lines: Draws lines showing confirmed Change in State of Delivery levels
Setup Invalidation: Automatically marks setups as invalid (XC2/XC4) when stop levels are breached
Bias Filter: Allows filtering for bullish, bearish, or neutral bias
Real-time Countdown: Shows time remaining in current HTF period
Originality:
This script uniquely combines the Power of Three methodology with CISD pattern recognition in an automated format. Unlike simple liquidity sweep indicators, it requires confirmation through specific price action patterns and validates setups across multiple timeframes. The integration of automatic timeframe selection, zone mapping, and multi-period tracking creates a comprehensive tool that goes beyond basic liquidity concepts.
How to use it:
Apply to any timeframe (works best on 1m-4H charts)
Set your bias filter (Neutral for all setups, Bullish/Bearish for directional bias)
Wait for C2 labels to appear after liquidity sweeps
Look for confirmed CISD lines to validate the setup
Use the trading zones (boxes) for entry planning
Monitor for C4 setups on the second HTF period
Setup is invalidated if price hits the original sweep level (marked as XC2)
Warning:
This indicator uses higher timeframe data and may repaint on the current bar. Setups are only confirmed after HTF candle close. Not all C2 setups will be confirmed - confirmation requires proper CISD pattern development.
AI Gold Liquidity Breakout CatcherTitle: Gold AI Liquidity Breakout Catcher
Description:
Indicator Philosophy and Originality:
This indicator is not merely a collection of separate tools, but an integrated trading framework designed to improve decision-making by ensuring signal confluence. The core philosophy is that high-probability trading signals occur when multiple, distinct analysis methodologies align.
The originality of this script lies in how it systematically combines a leading signal (the Liquidity Breakout) with multiple, independent lagging confirmation tools (the Classic Filters, the Hull MA, and the Range Filter). A user can see a primary breakout signal and immediately validate its strength against the broader trend defined by the Hull MA, the intermediate trend from the Range Filter, and the specific conditions of the classic filters.
This synergy, where different components work together to validate a single event, is the primary value and reason for this mashup. It provides a structured, multi-layered confirmation process within a single tool, which is not achievable by adding these indicators separately to the chart.
This indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trading opportunities and provide supplemental trend analysis. It features a primary signal engine based on pivot trendline breakouts, a sophisticated confirmation layer using classic technical indicators, and three separate modules for discretionary analysis: an ICT-based structure plotter, a highly customizable Hull Moving Average (HMA), and a volatility-adaptive Range Filter. This document provides a detailed, transparent explanation of all underlying logic.
1. Core Engine: Pivot-Based Liquidity Trendline Signals
The indicator's foundational signal is generated from a custom method we call "Liquidity Trendlines," which aims to identify potential shifts in momentum.
How It Works:
The script first identifies significant swing points in the price using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow().
It then draws a trendline connecting consecutive pivot points.
A "Liquidity Breakout" signal (liquidity_plup for buy, liquidity_pldn for sell) is generated when the price closes decisively across this trendline, forming the basis for a potential trade.
2. The Signal Confirmation Process: Multi-Layered Filtering System
A raw Liquidity Breakout signal is only a starting point. To enhance reliability, the signal must pass through a series of user-enabled filters. A final Buy or Sell signal is only plotted if all active filter conditions are met simultaneously.
General & Smart Trend Filters: Use a combination of EMAs, DMI (ADX), and market structure to define the trend.
RSI & MACD Filters: Used for momentum confirmation.
Directional Body Strength Filter: A custom filter that validates the signal based on the strength and direction of the signal candle's body (bodyUpOK / bodyDownOK).
Support & Resistance (S&R) Filter: Blocks signals forming too close to key S&R zones.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Filter: Provides confluence by checking the trend on higher timeframes.
3. Visual Aid 1: ICT-Based Structure & Premium/Discount Zones
This module is for visual and discretionary analysis only and does not directly influence the automated Buy/Sell signals.
ICT Market Structure: Plots labels for CHoCH, SMS, and BMS based on a Donchian-channel-like logic.
ICT Premium & Discount Zones: When enabled, it draws colored zones corresponding to Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium levels.
4. Visual Aid 2: Hull Moving Average (HMA) Integration
This is another independent tool for trend analysis. It does not affect the primary signals but has its own alerts and serves as a powerful visual confirmation layer.
Functionality: Includes multiple Hull variations (HMA, THMA, EHMA), customizable colors based on trend, and the ability to pull data from a higher timeframe.
5. Visual Aid 3: Range Filter Integration
This module is a volatility-adaptive trend filter that provides its own set of signals and visuals. It is designed to be a standalone trend analysis tool integrated within the indicator for additional confluence.
How It Works: The Range Filter calculates a dynamic volatility threshold based on the average range of the price. A central filter line moves up or down only when the price exceeds this threshold, effectively filtering out market noise.
Visuals: It plots the central filter line and upper/lower bands that create a volatility channel. It can also color the price bars based on the trend.
Signals & Alerts: The Range Filter generates its own "Manual Buy" and "Manual Sell" signals when the price crosses the filter line after a change in trend direction. These signals have their own dedicated alerts.
6. Risk Management & Additional Features
TP/SL Calculations: Automatically calculates Take Profit and Stop Loss levels for the primary signals based on the ATR.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Scanner: A dashboard that monitors the final Buy/Sell signal status across multiple timeframes.
Session Filter & Alerts: Allows for restricting trades to specific market sessions and configuring alerts for any valid signal.
By combining breakout detection with a rigorous confirmation process and multiple supplemental analysis tools, this indicator provides a structured and transparent approach to trading.

(Portions of the Bollinger Band logic adapted with permission/credit from the *Ultimate Buy & Sell Indicator* by its original author — thank you for the brilliance!)
---
🧭 **What This Is**
This is not just another price-following tool.
This is **a macro liquidity detector** — a **Daily Higher Timeframe Hull Moving Average of the Global M2 Money Supply**, smoothed via lower timeframe candles (default 5m, 48 Hull length), overlaid with **Ultimate-style double Bollinger Bands** to reveal *over-extension & mean reversion zones*.
It doesn’t chase candles.
It watches the tides beneath the market — the **money supply currents** that have a **direct correlation** to asset price behavior.
When liquidity expands → risk-on assets tend to rise.
When liquidity contracts → risk-off waves hit.
We ride those waves.
---
🔍 **What It Does**
* **Tracks Global M2** across major economies, FX-adjusted, and scales it to your chart’s price.
* **HTF Hull MA** (Daily, smoothed via 5m base) → gives you the macro liquidity trend.
* **Ultimate BB logic** applied to the HTF M2 Hull → inner/outer bands for volatility envelopes.
* **Pivot Labels** → ideal entry/exit zones on macro turns.
* **Over-Extension Alerts** → when HTF M2 Hull pushes outside the outer bands.
* **Re-Entry Alerts** → mean reversion triggers when liquidity moves back inside the range.
* **Background Paint** from chart TF M2 slope → for confluence on your entry timeframe.
---
📜 **Suggested How-To**
1. **Choose your execution chart** — e.g., 1–15m for scalps, 1H–4H for swings.
2. **Use the background paint** as your *local tide check* (chart TF M2 slope).
3. **Trade in the direction of the HTF M2 Hull** — green line = liquidity rising, red line = liquidity falling.
4. **Watch pivot labels** — these are potential “macro inflection” points.
5. **Confluence stack** — pair with ZLSMA, WaveTrend divergences, VWAP volume, or your favorite price-action setups.
6. **Size down** when HTF M2 Hull is flat/gray (chop zone).
7. **Scale in/out** on over-extension + re-entry alerts for higher probability swings.
---
⚠️ **Important Note**
This indicator **does not predict price** — it tracks macro liquidity flows that *influence* price.
Think of it as your market’s **tide chart**: when the water’s coming in, you can swim out; when it’s going out, you’d better be ready for the undertow.
---
📢 **Alerts Available**
* HTF Pivot HIGH / LOW
* Over-Extension (HTF Hull outside outer BB)
* Re-Entry (return from overbought/oversold)
