ICT Smart Money Trading Suite [SwissAlgo]ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite - Technical Analysis Indicator
----------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
The ICT/Smart Money Trading Suite is a technical analysis indicator that implements concepts from Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology and Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
ICT methodology was developed by Michael J. Huddleston (ICT) and focuses on understanding Institutional market behavior.
Smart Money Concepts builds upon these ideas to analyze how large Financial Institutions and/or Market Makers seem to operate in the markets.
This indicator combines multiple analytical tools into a single package for market structure analysis, imbalance detection, and the observation of institutional order flow.
----------------------------------------------------------
CORE COMPONENTS
Market Structure Analysis:
- External Structure : Major swing highs and lows that define broader price movement (these are the most significant structural points that institutions reference for their positioning and typically require substantial volume and momentum to break)
- Internal Structure : Shorter-term pivots showing micro-trend developments within the External Structure (these internal pivot highs and lows often represent areas where retail traders may be positioned on the wrong side of the market as they frequently form just before major structural breaks or trend continuations, creating liquidity that institutions can utilize)
- Structural Breakout Detection : Identification of structure breaks and potential trend changes ( 'Change of Character' which occurs when the External Structure shifts from bullish to bearish bias or vice-versa indicating a potential major trend reversal, and 'Break of Structure' which happens when price decisively takes out previous significant highs in a bearish trend or previous significant lows in a bullish trend confirming trend continuation or acceleration)
- EMA Cloud : Dynamic support and resistance zones with trend context (additional reference point)
Imbalance Zone Detection:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Price inefficiencies that occur between candles when sudden price moves create gaps in price delivery
Typically formed when the low of a bullish candle is higher than the high of the candle two periods prior, or when the high of a bearish candle is lower than the low of the candle two periods prior
These gaps represent areas where price moved too quickly without adequate two-way auction process
Institutions may return to fill these inefficiencies at a later time for proper price discovery
The theory suggests that all price ranges should eventually be traded through to complete the auction process
Gaps are automatically removed from the chart when price fully retraces back through the inefficient area
Order Blocks (OBs):
Specific candles that occur immediately before significant market moves and represent institutional decision points
Identified as the last opposing candle before a strong directional move (final bearish candle before major bullish move or final bullish candle before major bearish move)
These candles contain the orders and liquidity that institutions used as a foundation for their market manipulation
Represent areas where large institutional players positioned themselves to move the market significantly
Price may return to these levels to collect additional liquidity or test institutional resolve
The candle's full range (high to low) is considered the active zone where institutional interest may remain
Vector Candle Recovery:
Zones created by high-activity candles that demonstrate unusually large range and volume characteristics
These candles are interpreted as manipulative price pushes designed to hunt liquidity and trigger stop losses
Often used by institutions to induce retail traders into poor positions before reversing direction
Recovery zones represent the full range of these vector candles where price may retrace
The concept assumes that extreme moves often get partially retraced as the market corrects from artificial price displacement
Zones are invalidated when a significant portion of the vector candle range is retraced (typically 50% or more)
Support & Resistance:
Key price zones based on historical price reactions and pivot clustering analysis
Calculated through algorithmic identification of areas where price has repeatedly found buyers (support) or sellers (resistance)
Strength is determined by the number of times price has reacted from these levels and the volume of activity at these zones
Represent psychological and algorithmic reference points where institutional systems are likely to place orders
Create areas of increased probability for price reactions due to concentration of pending orders and decision-making activity
Zones are color-coded based on current price position: green for support (price above), red for resistance (price below), yellow for neutral (price within)
Liquidity Analysis:
- Liquidity Pools : Areas above or below key levels where stop orders may cluster
- Kill Zones : Time-based periods associated with increased market activity
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly Price Levels : Key institutional reference points (price highs/lows)
Vector Candles/Price Manipulation:
Advanced algorithm identifying statistically significant candles using volume delta analysis, range statistics, and persistence scoring.

Sweep Swing Screener [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Understanding how liquidity forms and how price reacts around key structural levels is essential for identifying precise, low-risk entry points. The Sweep Swing Screener is a specialized tool developed to continuously monitor market activity and detect liquidity sweeps, reaction zones, and valid confirmation candles across various trading instruments and timeframes.
This tool can be applied both to scan multiple symbols at once and to analyze all timeframes of a specific asset for potential reversal points. It begins by identifying a clear swing point, whether a swing high or a swing low, and then outlines a reaction zone between that level and either the highest or lowest value of the swing candle's open or close.
If the price revisits this zone, performs a liquidity grab, and prints an indecision candle like a doji or a narrow-bodied bar that closes within the zone, this may indicate a rejection of the level and the failure of a breakout attempt. At that moment, depending on the context, the screener may identify a bullish or bearish reversal and generate a corresponding Long or Short signal.
By emphasizing accurate entry timing, alignment with institutional order flow, and avoidance of common traps, this approach highlights market areas where liquidity engineering, reversal probability, and price inefficiency come together. As a result, the Sweep Swing Screener becomes a valuable part of any trader’s toolkit, particularly for those who rely on price action and liquidity logic to drive their decisions. It allows traders to focus on clean, actionable setups without getting lost in noise or misleading breakouts.
🔵 How to Use
The Sweep Swing Screener is designed to track market structure in real time and alert users when conditions for a potential reversal are present. Its methodology combines liquidity behavior with swing analysis and candle confirmation, all within predefined reaction zones.
To better understand this logic, consider a basic market flow where a swing high or low forms, followed by a return to that level. If the price sweeps the previous extreme and forms a confirming candle within the reaction zone, a signal is issued.
🟣 Long Signal
To identify a long setup, the screener looks for a valid swing low, often a level below which sell-side liquidity is likely to be clustered. Once found, it defines a reaction zone from the swing low to the lowest point between the candle’s open and close.
If the price returns to this area and creates a lower wick that extends beneath the swing low, the tool checks whether the price manages to close back inside the range, rejecting the breakdown. This indicates absorption of selling pressure and failure to sustain the move lower.
The screener then waits for a confirmation candle to appear. Typically, this is a doji or other small-bodied candle that closes inside the zone. If these conditions are met, the screener records a Long signal for that asset and, if enabled, sends a notification to alert the user.
🟣 Short Signal
For bearish setups, the screener begins by identifying a valid swing high, which usually marks a level where buy-side liquidity is concentrated. It then creates a reaction zone from the swing high to the highest point between the candle’s open and close.
When price returns to this level, sweeps above the swing high, and then fails to close higher, it may signal the presence of a bull trap and early exhaustion in the upward move.
A confirmation candle, usually a doji or a rejection bar that closes back within the zone, is then required. Once that occurs, the screener marks the asset with a Short signal and optionally sends a real-time alert to the user.
This type of setup helps highlight potential institutional sell zones, offering insight into where price is likely to reverse following a liquidity event.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sweep Swing Screener provides a systematic method for identifying potential reversal zones by combining price structure, liquidity behavior, and candle-based confirmation. In markets that are often noisy and full of failed breakouts, focusing on these three elements helps clarify directional bias and supports more confident decision-making.
With the ability to scan multiple symbols and timeframes efficiently, this tool allows traders to stay focused on high-quality setups without the need to manually sift through dozens of charts. The inclusion of optional alerts further enhances its utility by offering timely updates when criteria are met.
By moving away from reactive strategies and toward structural anticipation, this screener supports traders who align their methods with institutional logic and the mechanics of smart money.

Mech Model - monkertrades x {DeadCatCode}Mech Model - Multi-Timeframe ICT Liquidity & iFVG Trading System
Detailed Methodology & Underlying Concepts
This indicator automates the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology by identifying institutional order flow through liquidity sweeps and inverse Fair Value Gap (iFVG) formations across multiple timeframes.
Core Logic & Calculations
1. Liquidity Level Identification The script tracks four key liquidity pools:
NY session dynamic LQ detection everytime it sweeps high/low Calculates high/low from 18:00-09:30 EST
Session Extremes: Monitors Asia (20:00-23:00), London (02:00-05:00) session highs/lows
Previous Day Levels: Requests PDH/PDL using request.security() with daily timeframe
Dynamic Updates: Liquidity levels update in real-time when swept during NY session
2. Market Structure Analysis
Uses pivot points logic to understand HH.HL parameters
Classifies pivots as Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), Lower Lows (LL)
Stores last 50 pivots for reference in custom PivotPoint type arrays, background calculations to identfy price legs after sweep
3. Fair Value Gap Detection
Bullish FVG: When low > high (gap between candles)
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Stores FVG data including top, bottom, direction, and bar index
Tracks "wicking" - when price touches but doesn't close through FVG
4. Price Leg Formation (Key Innovation) When liquidity is swept:
Bull Leg: Forms after low sweep, connects previous swing high to sweep point
Bear Leg: Forms after high sweep, connects previous swing low to sweep point
Leg remains "active" and extends with continued liquidity breaks
5. iFVG Signal Generation The signal fires when:
An active price leg exists (post-liquidity sweep)
An FVG within the leg range gets "closed through" (not just wicked)
This creates an inverse FVG (iFVG) - the key entry signal
Signal direction matches leg type (bull leg + bull iFVG = buy signal)
6. Multi-Timeframe Synchronization
Uses request.security() to run detection logic on 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m
All signals display on 1-minute chart via status table
How Traders Use This
Setup Phase: Script identifies when price sweeps overnight/session liquidity
Confirmation: Waits for FVG within the "price leg" to be violated
Entry Signal: iFVG formation provides precise entry point
Target: Typically the next unmitigated FVG on 5-minute timeframe
Key Parameters Users Can Adjust
Session times for different market hours
Visual elements (colors, transparency, line styles)
Timeframe selection (enable/disable 1m-5m)
Wick grace period (0-100 bars)
Signal display mode (triangles vs horizontal lines)
This script essentially automates the manual process ICT traders use to identify institutional footprints through liquidity raids and subsequent rebalancing via FVG mitigation.
DD IFVG [Pro+] (Dodgy)Introduction
DD IFVG° is an automated charting tool built to track inversion logic after displacement events—specifically when Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are closed through and act as an inversion gap. The tool adheres to logic taught by DodgyDD and inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology, offering a clean visual interface to support traders studying price behaviour after liquidity sweeps, FVG closures, and delivery to targets.
This indicator does not draw zones or suggest direction. It operates entirely on confirmed price events and produces logic-bound visuals designed for traders who already understand IFVG-based reasoning and seek visual consistency across sessions and Timeframes.
Key Terms and Definitions
Swing High / Swing Low: A swing high is a local price peak with lower highs on either side. A swing low is a local trough with higher lows on either side. These are used to detect where liquidity may rest and are required for confirming the initial raid condition in the IFVG model.
Liquidity Raid: This occurs when price breaks a prior swing high or low, effectively “sweeping” a level where orders may be clustered. A raid is a required precursor to inversion logic in this model. The tool will not evaluate a potential Fair Value Gap or DD Inversion unless a swing high or low has been taken first.
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance that occurs when a strong move leaves a gap between candles—specifically, when the high of one candle and the low of a later candle do not overlap. FVGs often emerge during displacement and are commonly studied as inefficiencies within a price leg.
DD Inversion: A DD inversion happens when price fully closes through an existing Fair Value Gap after raiding liquidity, suggesting the original imbalance rebalanced, and looks to reverse its original role. For example, when a bearish FVG is closed above after raiding a swing low, it may behave with a change of orderflow (bullish inversion). The tool recognizes IFVGs as “inverted” after a full-body candle closes through the gap post raid.
Displacement: A strong, directional price move—typically with momentum—that leaves a Fair Value Gap behind. Displacement is important in inversion logic, as it creates the context and confidence in comparing and contrasting FVGs and DD Inversions for obvious flips in market behaviour.
DD Line: Once inversion occurs, the tool draws a single horizontal array on the candle's close. It marks the model’s activation level—not a prediction level or a support/resistance zone. It serves as a reference for when model logic is sequentially active.
Opposing Swing: The swing high or low opposite the one that was swept during the initial raid. This becomes the model’s first target for mechanical delivery and is automatically drawn once the DD line is triggered. When price reaches this swing, the model has reached its objective and could offer opportunities for further continuation to additional liquidity pools.
Invalidation: A DD Inversion is considered invalid in one of two scenarios, which the user can toggle individually: a body print back above/below the inversion in bearish/bullish conditions, or trading above/below the most recent swing high/low after the liquidity raid in bearish/bullish conditions. The DD line will continue extending when traded to until the setup is invalidated, or when the Opposing Swing is reached.
Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint (50%) of the FVG or IFVG. This line can be optionally displayed for users who use midpoint reference logic. It is not required by the model’s internal logic but may assist with discretionary interpretation.
Description
At its core, DD IFVG° follows a structured three-step logic sequence: a FVG is created, liquidity is taken, and the Fair Value Gap (FVG) inside of the leg of the raid is closed through, signally a potential orderflow shift. Once inversion is confirmed, a DD line is plotted at the close of the candle that caused the inversion, making it the structural anchor for the model.
The tool does not account for partial fills or candle wicks for FVGs or IFVGs. Only full-body closures through a qualifying FVG are recognized. When this occurs, a bullish or bearish inversion is validated and the model becomes active. From there, the opposing swing (the unswept high or low from the displacement leg) is automatically drawn as the target for the IFVG model.
The model remains active until either the opposing swing is tagged (completion) or Invalidation Condition is triggered (close through DD IFVG, or price violating the liquidity raid swing). Upon invalidation, the DD line turns gray, signalling that the structure is no longer valid for ongoing tracking.
Key Features
The Bias allows traders to define whether to track bullish inversions (closing above bearish FVGs), bearish inversions (closing below bullish FVGs), or neutral for both. This allows isolate directional focus or display all structures on the same chart mechanically.
The Liquidity Timeframe defines the Timeframe for swing highs and lows that are identified for the required liquidity raid. The Chart mode allows analysts to use the active chart Timeframe. Auto enables a custom Timeframe Alignment, explained inside of the setting tooltip. Custom allows for specific frame alignment, which is helpful when syncing with specific higher-Timeframe structure. Session allows the user to use session highs and lows for the liquidity raid. Observe the difference in the DD IFVG's frequency based on different Liquidity Timeframe configurations:

Automatic:
Custom (1H):
Session:
The FVG Filter Timeframe requires the DD setup to trade into a FVG before qualifying the raid filter. For instance, setting this to 4H ensures that only setups that form within a 4-hour FVG. This gives analysts an additional filter to qualify the start of the mechanical model.
Session Filter enables traders to define up to four specific Time blocks when the model is permitted to trigger. The Macros Only toggle filters setups further by limiting activation to the first and last 10 minutes of each hour—a filter inspired for intraday traders and scalpers.
The Invalidation Condition determines when a DD inversion is considered not longer valid. Close will maintain the inversion as active until price prints a body past the DD IFVG. Swing will maintain the inversion as active until the most recent swing from the liquidity raid is traded through; in this case a warning will appear once price prints a candle body past the DD IFVG.
Model Style includes customizable controls for the DD line, the opposing swing marker, and invalidated states. Label appearance, line styles, and extension behaviour are fully user-controlled. Traders can also enable the Consequent Encroachment (CE) line, which marks the 50% midpoint of the FVG and IFVG.
An Info Table is available to display current model state, including user bias, active Timeframes, asset, and Time filter. Its position is fully customizable and can be moved to match chart preferences.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator Effectively
DD IFVG° is not meant to identify trade signals, entries, or exits. It is best used as a visual tracker and confluence for structure-based delivery, particularly for those following DodgyDD-style IFVG logic. The tool excels as a companion for:
Journaling and reviewing IFVG-based setups across Timeframes and sessions
Studying structural completion or invalidation behaviour
Tracking delayed deliveries and retracement-based logic
Traders using the tool should be familiar with FVG formation, inversion criteria, and the importance of opposing swing resolution.
Usage Guidance
Add DD IFVG° to a TradingView chart. This is a fractal script and can be applied across any Timeframe or asset pairing depending on your session model and preferences.
Use the DD line to track inversion structure, monitor when inversions are created and negated, and reference the opposing swing to determine whether structural delivery has completed.
Use the DD IFVG° in combination with your own discretion and narrative to assess when the model has flipped, held, or broken.

Super Arma Institucional PRO v6.3Super Arma Institucional PRO v6.3
Description
Super Arma Institucional PRO v6.3 is a multifunctional indicator designed for traders looking for a clear and objective analysis of the market, focusing on trends, key price levels and high liquidity zones. It combines three essential elements: moving averages (EMA 20, SMA 50, EMA 200), dynamic support and resistance, and volume-based liquidity zones. This integration offers an institutional view of the market, ideal for identifying strategic entry and exit points.
How it Works
Moving Averages:
EMA 20 (orange): Sensitive to short-term movements, ideal for capturing fast trends.
SMA 50 (blue): Represents the medium-term trend, smoothing out fluctuations.
EMA 200 (red): Indicates the long-term trend, used as a reference for the general market bias.
Support and Resistance: Calculated based on the highest and lowest prices over a defined period (default: 20 bars). These dynamic levels help identify zones where the price may encounter barriers or supports.
Liquidity Zones: Purple rectangles are drawn in areas of significantly above-average volume, indicating regions where large market participants (institutional) may be active. These zones are useful for anticipating price movements or order absorption.
Purpose
The indicator was developed to provide a clean and institutional view of the market, combining classic tools (moving averages and support/resistance) with modern liquidity analysis. It is ideal for traders operating swing trading or position trading strategies, allowing to identify:
Short, medium and long-term trends.
Key support and resistance levels to plan entries and exits.
High liquidity zones where institutional orders can influence the price.
Settings
Show EMA 20 (true): Enables/disables the 20-period EMA.
Show SMA 50 (true): Enables/disables the 50-period SMA.
Show EMA 200 (true): Enables/disables the 200-period EMA.
Support/Resistance Period (20): Sets the period for calculating support and resistance levels.
Liquidity Sensitivity (20): Period for calculating the average volume.
Minimum Liquidity Factor (1.5): Multiplier of the average volume to identify high liquidity zones.
How to Use
Moving Averages:
Crossovers between the EMA 20 and SMA 50 may indicate short/medium-term trend changes.
The EMA 200 serves as a reference for the long-term bias (above = bullish, below = bearish).
Support and Resistance: Use the red (resistance) and green (support) lines to identify reversal or consolidation zones.
Liquidity Zones: The purple rectangles highlight areas of high volume, where the price may react (reversal or breakout). Consider these zones to place orders or manage risks.
Adjust the parameters according to the asset and timeframe to optimize the analysis.
Notes
The chart should be configured only with this indicator to ensure clarity.
Use on timeframes such as 1 hour, 4 hours or daily for better visualization of liquidity zones and support/resistance levels.
Avoid adding other indicators to the chart to keep the script output easily identifiable.
The indicator is designed to be clean, without explicit buy/sell signals, following an institutional approach.
This indicator is perfect for traders who want a visually clear and powerful tool to trade based on trends, key levels and institutional behavior.
Flow State Model [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Flow State Model" by Taking Prophets is a precision-built trading framework based on the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This script implements and automates the Flow State Model, a highly effective multi-timeframe trading system created and popularized by ITS Johnny.
It is designed to help traders systematically align higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation patterns, offering a clear roadmap for catching institutional moves with high confidence.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This is not a simple liquidity indicator or a basic FVG plotter. The Flow State Model executes a full multi-step process:
Higher Timeframe PD Array Detection: Automatically identifies and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes.
Liquidity Sweep Monitoring: Tracks swing highs and lows to detect Buyside or Sellside Liquidity sweeps into the HTF PD Arrays.
CISD Detection: Waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD) by monitoring bullish or bearish displacement after a sweep.
Full Trade Checklist: Visual checklist ensures all critical conditions are met before signaling a completed Flow State setup.
Sensitivity Control: Adapt detection strictness (High, Medium, Low) based on market volatility.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Fair Value Gap Mapping:
The indicator constantly scans higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) for valid bullish or bearish Fair Value Gaps that are large enough (based on ATR multiples) and not weekend gaps.
These FVGs are displayed on the current timeframe with full extension logic and mitigation handling (clearing when invalidated).
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Swing highs and lows are identified using pivot logic (3-bar pivots). When price sweeps beyond a recent liquidity point into an active FVG, it flags the potential for a Flow State setup.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Confirmation:
After a sweep, the script monitors price action for a sequence of bullish or bearish candles followed by displacement (break in delivery).
Only after displacement closes beyond the initiating sequence does a CISD level plot, confirming the market's new delivery state.
Execution Checklist:
An optional table tracks whether critical components are present:
Higher Timeframe PD Array.
Aligned Timeframe Bias.
Liquidity Sweep into FVG.
SMT Divergence (optional manual confirmation).
CISD Confirmation.
Dynamic Management:
Active gaps are extended automatically.
Cleared gaps and mitigated CISDs are deleted to keep charts clean.
Distance-to-FVG prioritization keeps only the nearest active setups visible.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Identify the bias by locating active higher timeframe FVGs.
Step 2: Wait for a Liquidity Sweep into a PD Array (active FVG).
Step 3: Watch for a CISD event (the Flow State confirmation).
Step 4: Once all conditions are checked off, execute trades based on retracements to CISD levels or continuation after displacement.
Best Timing:
During ICT Killzones: London Open, New York AM.
After daily or weekly liquidity events.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Theory: Markets seek to engineer liquidity for real institutional entries.
Fair Value Gaps: Imbalances where price is expected to react or rebalance.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): Confirmation that the market's delivery mechanism has shifted, validating bias continuation.
Flow State Principle: Seamlessly aligning higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation to maximize trade probability.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjust sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) for volatile or calm conditions.
Customize FVG visibility, CISD display, labels, line colors, and sizing.
Set checklist visibility and manual tracking of SMT or aligned bias.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers and swing traders seeking confluence-driven setups.
Traders looking for a structured, checklist-based execution process.
CISD [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "CISD - Change in State of Delivery" is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing ICT (Inner Circle Trader) conecpets. It detects critical shifts in delivery conditions after liquidity sweeps — helping you spot true smart money activity and optimal trade opportunities. This script is especially valuable for traders applying liquidity concepts, displacement recognition, and market structure shifts at both intraday and swing levels.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike basic trend-following or scalping tools, CISD operates through a two-phase smart money logic:
Liquidity Sweep Detection (sweeping Buyside or Sellside Liquidity).
State of Delivery Change Identification (through bearish or bullish displacement after the sweep).
It intelligently tracks candle sequences and only signals a CISD event after true displacement — offering a much deeper context than ordinary indicators.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Point Detection: Identifies recent pivot highs/lows to map Buyside Liquidity (BSL) and Sellside Liquidity (SSL) zones.
Liquidity Sweeps: Watches for price breaches of these liquidity points to detect institutional stop hunts.
Sequence Recognition: Finds series of same-direction candles before sweeps to mark institutional accumulation/distribution.
Change of Delivery Confirmation: Confirms CISD only after significant displacement moves price against the initial candle sequence.
Visual Markings: Automatically plots CISD lines and optional labels, customizable in color, style, and size.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for CISD levels plotted after a liquidity sweep event.
Plan Entries: Look for retracements into CISD lines for high-probability entries.
Manage Risk: Use CISD levels to refine your stop-loss and profit-taking zones.
Best Application:
After stop hunts during Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
As part of the Flow State Model: identify higher timeframe PD Arrays ➔ wait for lower timeframe CISD confirmation.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Pools: Highs and lows cluster stop orders, attracting institutional sweeps.
Displacement: Powerful price moves post-sweep confirm smart money involvement.
Market Structure: CISD frequently precedes major Change of Character (CHoCH) or Break of Structure (BOS) shifts.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjustable line color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted).
Optional label display with customizable color and sizing.
Line extension settings to keep CISD zones visible for future reference.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying ICT Smart Money Concepts.
Intraday scalpers and higher timeframe swing traders.
Traders who want to improve entries around liquidity sweeps and institutional displacement moves.

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
Forever Model [Pro+] (Sniper)Introduction
Forever Model (Sniper) is a clean, structured framework for visualizing internal liquidity to external liquidity rotations. It identifies shifts in market delivery by combining internal liquidity zones (Fair Value Gaps), divergence between correlated markets (Smart Money Technique), and lower timeframe orderflow changes (Orderblocks).
Designed for repeatability, the model helps analysts build confidence through familiarity, not complexity.
Rather than attempting to forecast direction, this model focuses on recognizing recurring patterns in delivery behavior across Timeframes. It presents a structured visual logic that can support manual analysis, with the aid of alerts that prompt analysts to investigate and validate potential price rotations.
The model is non-repainting, thoughtfully built to highlight past rotations once formed. It offers flexibility across assets and Timeframes, adapting to analysts' preferences while remaining consistent in its components.
Description
The model is organized into a three-part sequence. These three conditions form the visual foundation of the model. All parameters can be customized to match your preferred timeframe, session, and market:
Internal Range Liquidity Tag (IRL)
Price must interact with a defined internal inefficiency—typically a Fair Value Gap (FVG), which is an area between a three candle structure where price moves rapidly, leaving an imbalance that may later be revisited to be filled for efficiency.
Smart Money Technique Divergence Detected (SMT)
SMT transpires as a crack in correlation between two assets – this divergence is used to indicate potential shifts in price delivery.
SMT can be observed between two correlated assets, where one makes a lower low while the other holds a higher low (or conversely, one makes a higher high while the other forms a lower high).
Similarly, SMT can also occur between inverse correlated assets, where one makes a lower low while the other holds a lower high (or conversely, one makes a higher high while the other forms a higher low).
Change in State of Delivery (CISD)
After SMT occurs, the model identifies a CISD—a strong close engulfing the body of a previous directional candle that sweeps a short-term high or low. This suggests that price may be shifting from one delivery regime to another. The candle is labelled as an Orderblock (OB) candidate, with optional projected measures for better range of opportunity estimation.
Key Features
Model History Control
Controls how many past model formations appear on the chart, with a maximum of 40. Analysts may use shorter history for live charting or increase the count when studying past performance or recurring conditions.
When History is equal to 0, it will only show only live models in development, or nothing if no models are currently active.
Note: historical invalidated rotations are visualized through small markers, and may not display the model's components unless reviewed in Replay Mode. This mechanism keeps the chart clean, and allows the analyst to focus on the confirmed rotations.
Directional Bias Filter
Filters whether the model shows formations in only one direction or both. For example, selecting “Bullish” displays only internal range zones and divergence setups that meet criteria for upside movement. This feature is crucial for allowing analysts to align with higher Timeframe bias or studying unidirectional structures.
SMT Pair Input
The model compares your active chart with a second asset to detect SMT Divergence. You may manually enter a symbol (e.g., ES1!, BTCUSD, NZDUSD) or use Automatic SMT Pair Detection , which selects the most relevant correlated market. Inverse SMT inverts the logic, useful for negatively correlated pairs (e.g., gold vs dollar).
For example, although the Automatic SMT Pair Detection for CME_MINI:NQ1! is CME_MINI:ES1! , one may decide to use a leading stock in the NASDAQ such as NASDAQ:NVDA :
Timeframe Alignment
Defines which higher Timeframe the IRL is drawn from, and which lower Timeframe is used to evaluate the Model's conditions. These Timeframe Alignments can be selected individually to only showcase a specific combination of IRL and LTF Conditions; for a more dynamic approach, the "Automatic" option adjusts these pairings based on the current chart Timeframe. By selecting the "Custom" option, analysts can define and monitor their own preferred Timeframe Alignment.
Example: 5m Conditions ➞ 1H IRL vs. 4H Conditions ➞ Weekly IRL
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Visualization
Fair Value Gaps are areas where price moved quickly between two candles without overlap—these areas represent the IRL of the model, and are often revisited before continuing. Optionally, the analyst can decide to showcase the Consequent Encroachment (CE), the midpoint where price begins to fill the imbalance. Further, the analyst can maintain a cleaner chart by only showing FVG where SMT occurs, substantially limiting the number of drawings on the chart.
SMT Visualization
Draws visual lines connecting SMT points between the HTF reference points of the current chart's asset, and the SMT Pair asset. Helps analysts confirm divergence location and relationship at a glance, especially when reviewing multiple correlated pairs.
Liquidity Sweep Visualization
Most recent short-term liquidity swept, which resulted in a CISD. Marking this liquidity pool—a high or low that has been taken out—provides context and can give additional insight to evaluate the current market rotation.
Orderblock + Projections (OB)
When a CISD is recognized, an OB candidate is plotted. Projections from the OB can be displayed at customizable distances, serving as measurements for better range of opportunity estimation.
External Range Liquidity (ERL)
External Range Liquidity refers to price levels that sit beyond internal structures—typically local highs or lows that may be revisited after a retracement, for continuation.
Session Filters + Timezone Control
Define up to four time blocks (e.g., London Open, NY AM, PM session, Asia) for when the model is active. Timezones are fully customizable, supporting global use cases and precise filtering of formations to sessions with expected volume or cleaner structure.
Information Table
A compact, floating panel is available to display key model parameters in real time: Timeframe Alignment, Bias Direction, Active SMT Pair, Time Filter Conditions, Date.
This feature provides immediate context under which the model is operating — especially useful during active chart review or multi-pair monitoring. The table can be repositioned, resized, or disabled entirely depending on visual preference.
Model Markers & Backtest Support
The model includes a visual marker system to support chart review and backtesting. These overlays provide reference points for past structure, showcasing the following:
Reaching an OB Projection after revisiting the OB
Reaching the External Range Liquidity after revisiting the OB
Reaching an OB Projection without revisiting the OB
Reaching the External Range Liquidity without revisiting the OB
Invalidating the detected OB
Fully Automated Framework: all these components, when put together in the Forever Model ($niper), yield a clean and simple approach to studying and observing market rotations, empowering analysts in seeing the market through $niper's point of view. Each component is customizable to the analyst's liking to match their unique visual and technical preferences.
Usage Guidance:
Add Forever Model ($niper) to your TradingView chart.
Select your preferred SMT Pair, Timeframe Alignments, Model Style, and Time Filters.
Automate your analysis process with Forever Model (Sniper) and leverage it into your existing strategies to fine-tune your view through Sniper's point of view.

Four-Color Order Flow System Four-Color Order Flow System – Smart Money Liquidity Tracking
Revolutionizing Market Structure with a Four-Color Candle System
Traditional candlestick charts lack real-time liquidity visibility, forcing traders to rely on lagging indicators. The Four-Color Order Flow System solves this by integrating Order Blocks (OBs), Accumulation/Distribution (AD), Swing High/Low (SH/SL), and Delta metrics directly into the candle structure. This mashup of volume, price action, and liquidity flow gives traders an intuitive and immediate read on market conditions.
📌 Key Features & How They Work Together
🔹 Four-Color Candles – A Visual Edge Over Traditional Charts
Instead of basic red/green candles, we introduce a four-color system to highlight key liquidity shifts:
• 🔴 Red – Bearish pressure, aggressive sellers dominating.
• 🟢 Green – Bullish pressure, buyers stepping in.
• 🔵 Blue – Swing Highs (SH), Bullish Order Blocks (OBs), Accumulation zones.
• 🟡 Yellow – Swing Lows (SL), areas of liquidity sweep or potential reversal.
This eliminates the need to switch between multiple indicators—price structure, liquidity zones, and order flow are embedded directly into the chart.
🔹 EMA Logic – The Trend Foundation
The EMA acts as the core trend filter, dynamically adjusting to market bias. When combined with delta and liquidity flow, it helps traders confirm whether price action aligns with smart money movements.
🔹 Order Flow & Liquidity Mashup – What’s Really Moving the Market?
📊 Rolling Delta & Cumulative Delta – Track aggressive buyers/sellers and confirm if momentum is sustained or fading.
💰 Liquidity Flow & Shift – Shows whether market makers are accumulating or distributing, helping traders avoid fake breakouts.
📈 Money Flow Index & Value – Measures real institutional participation vs. retail noise.
These elements combine to validate price moves, making it clear when smart money is truly in control.
🔹 Swing Highs & Lows – Market Structure in Real-Time
SH/SL markers don’t lag behind multiple candles like in traditional indicators. Instead, they align with OBs and liquidity flow, giving a strong confirmation of trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Live Label Update – Real-Time Market Intelligence
The dynamic label box provides a live feed of critical metrics, including:
✅ EMA Bias – Confirms market direction.
✅ Rolling & Cumulative Delta – Tracks aggressive buy/sell imbalances.
✅ Liquidity Flow & Money Flow Index – Confirms institutional strength.
✅ FVG Execution Scanning (Coming Soon!)
This ensures traders have instant insight into market conditions without needing to check multiple sources.
📈 Why Traders Need This System
🔹 Faster Decision-Making – No need to flip between indicators; everything is visible on the chart.
🔹 Clearer Liquidity Insights – Order flow, delta, and structure all in sync.
🔹 Works for Scalping & Day Trading – Designed for real-time execution, not lagging signals.
By integrating order blocks, liquidity shifts, and a four-color candle system, this tool provides the most complete view of market control in a single chart.
📌 Stop reacting. Start anticipating. Trade with the flow of smart money.
[TehThomas] - ICT SMT DivergencesIntroduction
SMT Divergences is a cutting-edge trading tool designed for traders who utilize Smart Money Techniques (SMT), a core concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator is specifically built to detect SMT divergences by comparing price action across multiple correlated assets. It helps traders identify institutional activity, liquidity grabs, and inefficiencies in the market, offering valuable insights for high-probability trade setups.
Smart Money Techniques revolve around the idea that institutional traders and large market participants leave behind footprints in the form of price divergences. By analyzing multiple asset pairs simultaneously, this indicator helps traders pinpoint areas where one market structure contradicts another, revealing potential trade opportunities before the majority of retail traders notice them.
What is SMT Divergence?
Smart Money Divergence (SMT) occurs when correlated assets or markets behave differently in key areas of interest. These divergences often indicate market inefficiencies caused by liquidity grabs or institutional order flow. There are two main types of SMT divergences:
1. Bearish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Distribution) 🔴
Occurs when:
One asset makes a higher high, while another correlated asset makes a lower high.
This signals underlying weakness in the price action of the first asset.
Institutions may be offloading positions, preparing for a downward move.
📉 Example: If GBP/USD makes a higher high, but EUR/USD makes a lower high, it indicates potential weakness in GBP/USD and a possible short opportunity.
2. Bullish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Accumulation) 🔵
Occurs when:
One asset makes a lower low, while another correlated asset makes a higher low.
This suggests strength and potential accumulation by institutional traders.
Smart Money may be positioning for a bullish reversal.
📈 Example: If NASDAQ (US100) makes a lower low, but S&P 500 (US500) makes a higher low, it could indicate bullish strength in the stock market, suggesting a possible long trade.

Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.

🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.
MMXM ICT [TradingFinder] Market Maker Model PO3 CHoCH/CSID + FVG🔵 Introduction
The MMXM Smart Money Reversal leverages key metrics such as SMT Divergence, Liquidity Sweep, HTF PD Array, Market Structure Shift (MSS) or (ChoCh), CISD, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) to identify critical turning points in the market. Designed for traders aiming to analyze the behavior of major market participants, this setup pinpoints strategic areas for making informed trading decisions.
The document introduces the MMXM model, a trading strategy that identifies market maker activity to predict price movements. The model operates across five distinct stages: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. This systematic approach allows traders to differentiate between buyside and sellside curves, offering a structured framework for interpreting price action.
Market makers play a pivotal role in facilitating these movements by bridging liquidity gaps. They continuously quote bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices for assets, ensuring smooth trading conditions.
By maintaining liquidity, market makers prevent scenarios where buyers are left without sellers and vice versa, making their activity a cornerstone of the MMXM strategy.
SMT Divergence serves as the first signal of a potential trend reversal, arising from discrepancies between the movements of related assets or indices. This divergence is detected when two or more highly correlated assets or indices move in opposite directions, signaling a likely shift in market trends.
Liquidity Sweep occurs when the market targets liquidity in specific zones through false price movements. This process allows major market participants to execute their orders efficiently by collecting the necessary liquidity to enter or exit positions.
The HTF PD Array refers to premium and discount zones on higher timeframes. These zones highlight price levels where the market is in a premium (ideal for selling) or discount (ideal for buying). These areas are identified based on higher timeframe market behavior and guide traders toward lucrative opportunities.
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as ChoCh, indicates a change in market structure, often marked by breaking key support or resistance levels. This shift confirms the directional movement of the market, signaling the start of a new trend.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery) reflects a transition in price delivery mechanisms. Typically occurring after MSS, CISD confirms the continuation of price movement in the new direction.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) represents zones where price imbalance exists between buyers and sellers. These gaps often act as price targets for filling, offering traders opportunities for entry or exit.
By combining all these metrics, the Smart Money Reversal provides a comprehensive tool for analyzing market behavior and identifying key trading opportunities. It enables traders to anticipate the actions of major players and align their strategies accordingly.
MMBM :
MMSM :
🔵 How to Use
The Smart Money Reversal operates in two primary states: MMBM (Market Maker Buy Model) and MMSM (Market Maker Sell Model). Each state highlights critical structural changes in market trends, focusing on liquidity behavior and price reactions at key levels to offer precise and effective trading opportunities.
The MMXM model expands on this by identifying five distinct stages of market behavior: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. These stages provide traders with a detailed roadmap for interpreting price action and anticipating market maker activity.
🟣 Market Maker Buy Model
In the MMBM state, the market transitions from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. Initially, SMT Divergence between related assets or indices reveals weaknesses in the bearish trend. Subsequently, a Liquidity Sweep collects liquidity from lower levels through false breakouts.
After this, the price reacts to discount zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major market participants often execute buy orders. The market confirms the bullish trend with a Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in price delivery state (CISD). During this phase, an FVG emerges as a key trading opportunity. Traders can open long positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, capitalizing on the bullish continuation.
🟣 Market Maker Sell Model
In the MMSM state, the market shifts from a bullish trend to a bearish trend. Here, SMT Divergence highlights weaknesses in the bullish trend. A Liquidity Sweep then gathers liquidity from higher levels.
The price reacts to premium zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major sellers enter the market and reverse the price direction. A Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in delivery state (CISD) confirm the bearish trend. The FVG then acts as a target for the price. Traders can initiate short positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, profiting from the bearish continuation.
Market makers actively bridge liquidity gaps throughout these stages, quoting continuous bid and ask prices for assets. This ensures that trades are executed seamlessly, even during periods of low market participation, and supports the structured progression of the MMXM model.
The price’s reaction to FVG zones in both states provides traders with opportunities to reduce risk and enhance precision. These pullbacks to FVG zones not only represent optimal entry points but also create avenues for maximizing returns with minimal risk.

The ELC Indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed for traders who want to leverage price action and liquidity concepts for high-precision trading opportunities. Unlike conventional indicators that rely purely on trend-following or oscillatory methods, ELC incorporates a unique combination of market structure, Fibonacci retracement levels, and dynamic EMA filtering to detect key buy and sell zones. This original approach helps traders capture the most relevant market movements and anticipate potential reversals with higher confidence.
---
### **What the ELC Indicator Does**
The primary goal of the ELC Indicator is to identify liquidity zones and plot Fibonacci-based levels around detected buy or sell signals. It continuously monitors price action to identify instances where significant liquidity grabs occur, signaled by breakouts beyond recent highs or lows. Once a signal is detected, the indicator plots horizontal lines at key Fibonacci ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 120%, and 180%) to give traders a clear visual framework for potential retracement or extension levels.
Additionally, the indicator includes a dynamic EMA filter, which ensures that buy signals are only triggered when the price is above the EMA and sell signals when the price is below the EMA. This filtering mechanism helps reduce false signals in choppy markets and aligns trades with the broader trend direction.
---
### **Key Features**
1. **Buy & Sell Signals**
- Buy signals are generated when a liquidity grab occurs below the previous low, and the closing price is above the candle body midpoint and the EMA.
- Sell signals are triggered when a liquidity grab occurs above the previous high, and the closing price is below the candle body midpoint and the EMA.
- Visual cues are provided via small upward (green) and downward (red) triangles on the chart.
2. **Fibonacci Levels**
- For each buy or sell signal, the indicator plots multiple horizontal lines at key Fibonacci levels. These levels can help traders set realistic profit targets and stop-loss levels.
- The plotted lines can be customized in terms of style (solid, dotted, dashed) and color (buy and sell line colors).
3. **Dynamic EMA Filtering**
- A customizable EMA filter is integrated into the logic to align trades with the prevailing trend.
- The EMA length is adjustable, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator based on their trading style and market conditions.
4. **Alert System**
- Alerts can be enabled for both buy and sell signals, ensuring traders never miss an opportunity even when away from the screen.
- Alerts are triggered once per bar, ensuring timely notifications without excessive noise.
5. **Customizable Signal Visibility**
- Traders can toggle the visibility of the last 9 buy and sell signals. When this option is disabled, only the most recent signal is displayed, helping to declutter the chart.
---
### **How to Use the ELC Indicator**
- **Trend Following**: The ELC Indicator works well in trending markets by filtering signals based on the EMA direction. Traders can use the plotted Fibonacci levels to enter trades, set profit targets, and manage risk.
- **Reversal Trading**: The liquidity grab detection mechanism allows traders to capture potential market reversals. By waiting for price retracements to key Fibonacci levels after a signal, traders can enter trades with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
- **Scalping & Day Trading**: With its ability to plot key intraday levels and generate real-time alerts, the ELC Indicator is particularly useful for scalpers and day traders looking to exploit short-term market inefficiencies.
---
### **Concepts Underlying the Calculations**
1. **Liquidity Grabs**: The ELC Indicator’s core logic is based on detecting instances where the market moves beyond a recent high or low, triggering a liquidity grab. This often signals a potential reversal or continuation, depending on broader market conditions.
2. **Fibonacci Ratios**: Once a signal is detected, key Fibonacci levels are plotted to provide traders with actionable zones for trade entries, profit targets, or stop-loss placements.
3. **EMA Filtering**: The EMA acts as a dynamic trend filter, ensuring that signals are aligned with the dominant market direction. This reduces the likelihood of entering trades against the prevailing trend.

Fibonacci Bands [BigBeluga]The Fibonacci Band indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones based on Fibonacci ratios. It overlays three sets of Fibonacci ratio bands (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) around a central trend line, dynamically adapting to price movements. This structure enables traders to track trends, visualize potential liquidity sweep areas, and spot reversal points for strategic entries and exits.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Fibonacci Bands for Support & Resistance:
The Fibonacci Band indicator applies three key Fibonacci ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) to construct dynamic bands around a smoothed price. These levels often act as critical support and resistance areas, marked with labels displaying the percentage and corresponding price. The 100% band level is especially crucial, signaling potential liquidity sweep zones and reversal points.
Mean Reversion Signals at 100% Bands:
When price moves above or below the 100% band, the indicator generates mean reversion signals.
Trend Detection with Midline:
The central line acts as a trend-following tool: when solid, it indicates an uptrend, while a dashed line signals a downtrend. This adaptive midline helps traders assess the prevailing market direction while keeping the chart clean and intuitive.
Extended Price Projections:
All Fibonacci bands extend to future bars (default 30) to project potential price levels, providing a forward-looking perspective on where price may encounter support or resistance. This feature helps traders anticipate market structure in advance and set targets accordingly.
Liquidity Sweep:
--
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Lows:
The price action moves below a previous low, capturing sell-side liquidity (stop-losses from long positions or entries for breakout traders).
The wick suggests that the price quickly reversed, leaving a failed breakout below support.
This is a classic liquidity grab, often indicating a bullish reversal .
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Highs:
The price spikes above a prior high, sweeping buy-side liquidity (stop-losses from short positions or breakout entries).
The wick signifies rejection, suggesting a failed breakout above resistance.
This is a bearish liquidity sweep , often followed by a mean reversion or a downward move.
Display Customization:
To declutter the chart, traders can choose to hide Fibonacci levels and only display overbought/oversold zones along with the trend-following midline and mean reversion signals. This option enables a clearer focus on key reversal areas without additional distractions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Period Length: Adjust the length of the smoothed moving average for more reactive or smoother bands.
Channel Width: Customize the width of the Fibonacci channel.
Fibonacci Ratios: Customize the Fibonacci ratios to reflect personal preference or unique market behaviors.
Future Projection Extension: Set the number of bars to extend Fibonacci bands, allowing flexibility in projecting price levels.
Hide Fibonacci Levels: Toggle the visibility of Fibonacci levels for a cleaner chart focused on overbought/oversold regions and midline trend signals.
Liquidity Sweep: Toggle the visibility of Liquidity Sweep points
The Fibonacci Band indicator provides traders with an advanced framework for analyzing market structure, liquidity sweeps, and trend reversals. By integrating Fibonacci-based levels with trend detection and mean reversion signals, this tool offers a robust approach to navigating dynamic price action and finding high-probability trading opportunities.
Custom V2 KillZone US / FVG / EMAThis indicator is designed for traders looking to analyze liquidity levels, opportunity zones, and the underlying trend across different trading sessions. Inspired by the ICT methodology, this tool combines analysis of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), session management, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection to provide a structured and disciplined approach to trading effectively.
Indicator Features
Identifying the Underlying Trend with Two EMAs
The indicator uses two EMAs on different, customizable timeframes to define the underlying trend:
EMA1 (default set to a daily timeframe): Represents the primary underlying trend.
EMA2 (default set to a 4-hour timeframe): Helps identify secondary corrections or impulses within the main trend.
These two EMAs allow traders to stay aligned with the market trend by prioritizing trades in the direction of the moving averages. For example, if prices are above both EMAs, the trend is bullish, and long trades are favored.
Analysis of Market Sessions
The indicator divides the day into key trading sessions:
Asian Session
London Session
US Pre-Open Session
Liquidity Kill Session
US Kill Zone Session
Each session is represented by high and low zones as well as mid-lines, allowing traders to visualize liquidity levels reached during these periods. Tracking the price levels in different sessions helps determine whether liquidity levels have been "swept" (taken) or not, which is essential for ICT methodology.
Liquidity Signal ("OK" or "STOP")
A specific signal appears at the end of the "Liquidity Kill" session (just before the "US Kill Zone" session):
"OK" Signal: Indicates that liquidity conditions are favorable for trading the "US Kill Zone" session. This means that liquidity levels have been swept in previous sessions (Asian, London, US Pre-Open), and the market is ready for an opportunity.
"STOP" Signal: Indicates that it is not favorable to trade the "US Kill Zone" session, as certain liquidity conditions have not been met.
The "OK" or "STOP" signal is based on an analysis of the high and low levels from previous sessions, allowing traders to ensure that significant liquidity zones have been reached before considering positions in the "Kill Zone".
Detection of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in the US Kill Zone Session
When an "OK" signal is displayed, the indicator identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVG) during the "US Kill Zone" session. These FVGs are areas where price may return to fill an "imbalance" in the market, making them potential entry points.
Bullish FVG: Detected when there is a bullish imbalance, providing a buying opportunity if conditions align with the underlying trend.
Bearish FVG: Detected when there is a bearish imbalance, providing a selling opportunity in the trend direction.
FVG detection aligns with the ICT Silver Bullet methodology, where these imbalance zones serve as probable entry points during the "US Kill Zone".
How to Use This Indicator
Check the Underlying Trend
Before trading, observe the two EMAs (daily and 4-hour) to understand the general market trend. Trades will be prioritized in the direction indicated by these EMAs.
Monitor Liquidity Signals After the Asian, London, and US Pre-Open Sessions
The high and low levels of each session help determine if liquidity has already been swept in these areas. At the end of the "Liquidity Kill" session, an "OK" or "STOP" label will appear:
"OK" means you can look for trading opportunities in the "US Kill Zone" session.
"STOP" means it is preferable not to take trades in the "US Kill Zone" session.
Look for Opportunities in the US Kill Zone if the Signal is "OK"
When the "OK" label is present, focus on the "US Kill Zone" session. Use the Fair Value Gaps (FVG) as potential entry points for trades based on the ICT methodology. The identified FVGs will appear as colored boxes (bullish or bearish) during this session.
Use ICT Methodology to Manage Your Trades
Follow the FVGs as potential reversal zones in the direction of the trend, and manage your positions according to your personal strategy and the rules of the ICT Silver Bullet method.
Customizable Settings
The indicator includes several customization options to suit the trader's preferences:
EMA: Length, source (close, open, etc.), and timeframe.
Market Sessions: Ability to enable or disable each session, with color and line width settings.
Liquidity Signals: Customization of colors for the "OK" and "STOP" labels.
FVG: Option to display FVGs or not, with customizable colors for bullish and bearish FVGs, and the number of bars for FVG extension.

Price Action Analyst [OmegaTools]Price Action Analyst (PAA) is an advanced trading tool designed to assist traders in identifying key price action structures such as order blocks, market structure shifts, liquidity grabs, and imbalances. With its fully customizable settings, the script offers both novice and experienced traders insights into potential market movements by visually highlighting premium/discount zones, breakout signals, and significant price levels.
This script utilizes complex logic to determine significant price action patterns and provides dynamic tools to spot strong market trends, liquidity pools, and imbalances across different timeframes. It also integrates an internal backtesting function to evaluate win rates based on price interactions with supply and demand zones.
The script combines multiple analysis techniques, including market structure shifts, order block detection, fair value gaps (FVG), and ICT bias detection, to provide a comprehensive and holistic market view.
Key Features:
Order Block Detection: Automatically detects order blocks based on price action and strength analysis, highlighting potential support/resistance zones.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks internal and external market structure changes with gradient color-coded visuals.
Liquidity Grabs & Breakouts: Detects potential liquidity grab and breakout areas with volume confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on historical price action and threshold calculations.
ICT Bias: Integrates ICT bias analysis, dynamically adjusting based on higher-timeframe analysis.
Supply and Demand Zones: Highlights supply and demand zones using customizable colors and thresholds, adjusting dynamically based on market conditions.
Trend Lines: Automatically draws trend lines based on significant price pivots, extending them dynamically over time.
Backtesting: Internal backtesting engine to calculate the win rate of signals generated within supply and demand zones.
Percentile-Based Pricing: Plots key percentile price levels to visualize premium, fair, and discount pricing zones.
High Customizability: Offers extensive user input options for adjusting zone detection, color schemes, and structure analysis.
User Guide:
Order Blocks: Order blocks are significant support or resistance zones where strong buyers or sellers previously entered the market. These zones are detected based on pivot points and engulfing price action. The strength of each block is determined by momentum, volume, and liquidity confirmations.
Demand Zones: Displayed in shades of blue based on their strength. The darker the color, the stronger the zone.
Supply Zones: Displayed in shades of red based on their strength. These zones highlight potential resistance areas.
The zones will dynamically extend as long as they remain valid. Users can set a maximum number of order blocks to be displayed.
Market Structure: Market structure is classified into internal and external shifts. A bullish or bearish market structure break (MSB) occurs when the price moves past a previous high or low. This script tracks these breaks and plots them using a gradient color scheme:
Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:
Load the script onto your chart. The default settings are optimized for identifying key price action zones and structure on intraday charts of liquid assets.
Customize the settings according to your strategy. For example, adjust the "Max Orderblocks" and "Strength Filter" to focus on more significant price action areas.
Monitor the liquidity grabs, breakouts, and FVGs for potential trade opportunities.
Use the bias and market structure analysis to align your trades with the prevailing market trend.
Refer to the backtesting win rates to evaluate the effectiveness of the zones in your trading.

Market Structure Inducements ICT [TradinFinder] CHoch BOS Sweeps🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation for identifying trends in the market, crucial in technical analysis and strategies like ICT and SMC. Understanding key concepts such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) helps traders recognize critical shifts in the market. BOS, referring to a Market Structure Change (BMS), and CHOCH or Market Structure Shift (MSS) signal trend reversals in the market.
Additionally, the concept of Inducement, a vital tool in Smart Money strategies, allows traders to avoid price traps. Identifying valid pullback, valid inducement, POI, and Liquidity Grab helps traders find optimal entry and exit points and leverage Smart Money movements effectively.
Bullish Market Structure :
Bearish Market Structure :
🔵 How to Use
The Market Structure indicator is designed to help traders better understand market structure and detect price traps. By using this indicator, you can identify the right entry and exit points based on structural changes in the market and avoid unprofitable trades. Below, we explain the key concepts and how to apply them in trading.
🟣 Market Structure
Market Structure refers to the overall pattern of price movement in the market. Using this indicator, traders can identify uptrends and downtrends and make better trading decisions based on changes in market structure. The two key concepts here are Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH).
Change of Character (CHOCH) : CHOCH occurs when the market shifts from an uptrend to a downtrend or vice versa. These changes typically indicate a broader trend reversal, and the indicator assists you in identifying them accurately.
Break of Structure (BOS) : When the market breaks a key support or resistance level, it signals a change in market structure. This indicator helps you identify these breakouts in time and take advantage of trading opportunities.
🟣 Inducement
Inducement refers to price traps set by Smart Money to trick retail traders into making the wrong trades. This indicator helps you recognize these traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
Valid Inducement : Valid Inducement refers to deliberately created price traps by major market players to gather liquidity from retail traders. Once the market has collected sufficient liquidity, it makes the real move, and professional traders use this moment to enter.
🟣 Valid Pullback
A Valid Pullback refers to a temporary market retracement, indicating a price correction within the main trend. This concept is crucial in technical analysis as it helps traders enter trades at the right time and profit from the continuation of the trend. The Market Structure indicator can identify these valid retracements, allowing traders to enter trades with greater confidence.
🟣 Point of Interest (POI)
Another important concept in market analysis is the Point of Interest (POI), referring to key price areas on the chart. POI includes zones where significant price movements are likely to occur. The Market Structure indicator helps you locate these key points and use them as entry signals for trades.
🟣 Liquidity Grab
Liquidity Grab refers to a scenario where the market intentionally moves to areas where retail traders' stop losses are placed. The goal is to gather liquidity, allowing major players to execute trades at better prices. By using this indicator, you can spot these liquidity grabs and avoid falling into price traps.
🔵 Setting
ChoCh Detector Period : The period of identifying the major market levels that occur when they break ChoCh.
BoS & Liquidity Detector Period : The period of identifying minor levels, which are used to identify BoS and Liquidity levels.
Inducement Detector Period : The period of identification of Inducement levels.
Fast Trend Detector : This feature will help you update the major market structure levels sooner.
Inducement Type Detector : Two modes "Sweeps" and "Total" can be used to identify the levels of Inducement. In "Sweeps" mode only Levels detected by touch shadow. In "Total" mode, all Levels are detected.
🔵 Conclusion
In financial market analysis and forex trading, identifying Market Structure and Inducement is crucial. Market Structure helps you detect uptrends and downtrends, and understand Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). The concept of Inducement also enables traders to spot Smart Money price traps and avoid unprofitable trades.
The Market Structure indicator is a powerful tool that, by analyzing the market structure and concepts like valid pullback and valid inducement, helps you make more precise trade entries. Additionally, by identifying POI and Liquidity Grab, the indicator gives you the ability to spot key market zones and use them to your advantage in trading.

📈 Structure
What Is IDM?
IDM, or the Institutional Distribution Model, is an advanced concept within SMC that focuses on how institutional players distribute their positions in the market. By analyzing IDM, traders can better anticipate price movements and potential turning points, thereby gaining a meaningful edge in their trading.
In our structure concept, IDM can form under specific conditions. The market does not always provide a high-liquidity point to work with, so we’ve adopted a flexible approach. We generate IDM when a certain type of liquidity appears during the impulse and BOS break, allowing for a potential future liquidity sweep.
Below, I will provide an example that illustrates when IDM forms as a liquidity magnet within the structure - and when it does not.
As shown in the example above, we focus on the initial impulse after the BOS. If liquidity forms during this impulse - liquidity that needs to be taken out during the structural move - we mark an IDM level as a price magnet. However, if this liquidity does not appear, we do not create an IDM. In that case, the same point might serve as an FVG or play a different role, depending on your trading approach.
This concept makes the structure more flexible and better able to respond immediately to market movements and key structural points.
Above is an example on the chart illustrating what the structure looks like both with and without IDM. As you can see, when the structural move includes pullbacks and consolidation, there is an opportunity to form an IDM as a price magnet. However, if the impulses are strong and lack pullbacks, FVG becomes the only magnet in that move. Depending on the chart, our indicator adapts to the current market conditions and highlights potential liquidity collection points.
📊 Swing and Minor Structure
In the new version of the indicator, the minor structure and the swing structure differ from each other.
Swing structure - In this structure, as mentioned earlier, the IDM concept remains a price magnet and is formed at certain points on the chart if the conditions allow. If these points do not appear, IDM might not form at all.
Minor structure - Here, we have completely removed IDM and only kept BOS and CHoCH for structure formation. We found that for a minor structure, this approach allows faster reactions to trend changes, depending on market movements.
By making these adjustments, we have resolved the main issue of the advanced structure, which was the large distance between BOS and CHoCH that sometimes resulted in a month-long consolidation between these levels. In this version, those problems no longer occur.
If, for some reason, your settings result in a larger swing structure, you can still work with the minor structure using the same POI as in the swing structure. OrderBlock and FVG remain the primary drivers of order flow.
Shown above is a screenshot of the main structure settings you can adjust. These settings are highly flexible and can be tailored to fit a wide range of trading preferences.
⚖️ FVG Concept
A new feature of our indicator is the FVG concept. We automatically detect three types of FVG at the moment, which will be explained below.
FVG - the standard Fair Value Gap
Double FVG - a double FVG, also referred to as BPR (Balanced Price Range)
Implied Imbalance - a type of imbalance that arises from buyer or seller demand
Below, we will look at examples of the FVG types we currently identify.
All price inefficiencies work in real time, immediately appearing on the chart and allowing traders to quickly respond to FVG reactions.
We have also enhanced this concept by displaying FVG reactions on the chart. If an FVG triggers a reaction and the price responds to that range, we highlight it on the chart, so you can recognize the reaction and make timely trading decisions. A screenshot below shows how this looks in practice.
Below is a screenshot illustrating the main settings of this concept, along with detailed descriptions.
📦 OrderBlock Concept
OrderBlocks provide an effective way to identify areas of interest and make informed decisions. We have dedicated significant effort to refining this section’s functionality and have achieved strong results in doing so.
Order Block Types
Advanced OrderBlock – A specialized type of order block generated by our internal algorithm. This can help traders aim for tighter entries and potentially more favorable risk-reward ratios within a narrow price range.
OrderBlock – The classic type, formed at the highs or lows of a structure when a BOS or CHoCH occurs. It can still be an effective entry method but typically spans a wider price range.
Extremum Candle – Based on liquidity grabs. The candle creating this order block must collect liquidity before making an impulsive move that breaks the BOS or CHoCH.
BTS / STB (Buy To Sell / Sell To Buy) – This concept may appear when market makers manipulate price to buy or sell an asset. It often covers a larger price range because it relies on a brief impulsive move to form.
Each type of order block has its own strengths and weaknesses. We provide traders with the flexibility to choose which types suit their trading style and preferences.
Above is an example of how you can apply OrderFlow alongside our structure and orderblocks, which can produce solid results when combined with the Smart Money concept.
In this demonstration, we have highlighted the Advanced Orderblock as an illustration.
Above is a screenshot of all the settings related to this section. They can be customized to suit your specific needs, ensuring you only see what is genuinely relevant on your chart.
📏 Previous Highs and Lows
You can select four levels to display on the chart as some of the most liquid zones:
Daily Highs and Lows
Weekly Highs and Lows
Monthly Highs and Lows
Quarterly Highs and Lows
This feature helps you identify important levels on lower timeframes and focus on these zones for potential trading opportunities. Below is an example of how it appears on the chart.
Below, you can see the settings available in this section.
📐 Fibonacci Levels
Likewise, a new section in our indicator is Fibonacci Levels, a well-known tool recognized as a reliable source of important levels on the chart. We have added this functionality with the option to choose how you want to generate these levels and which specific levels you want to display.
You can plot Fibonacci levels based on the Swing structure, Minor structure, previous or current day, month, and more. In total, there are 10 different options for constructing the Fibonacci grid.
Above, you can see an example of how it appears on the chart, and below you will find the settings available in this section.
🈹 Premium and Discount
Another useful feature for all traders is the Premium and Discount zones based on structure. This makes it easy to identify areas of interest—whether in a discount or premium zone, or in an equilibrium area.
Below, you can also see the settings available in this section.
✅ Additional Function
We have also separated a few functions into their own section:
Color Candles – Colors the candles according to the current trend.
Market Structure ZigZag – Visually highlights the zigzag used to form the structure.
Key Point Labels – Displays the points on the chart from which the structure is built.
Equal Highs & Lows – Identifies equal highs and lows as areas of potential liquidity for larger market players, as price often aims to sweep these zones.
Below are a few screenshots showing how these features appear on the chart.
Color Candles
Market Structure ZigZag and Key Point Labels
Equal Highs & Lows
Below, you can see a screenshot displaying all the settings available in this section.
🎨 General Styling
We have devoted considerable effort to providing flexible customization for each element on the chart, so you can design the exact look you want. That’s why we created an additional section where you can adjust any element’s size, style, and more.
Combined with extensive color and transparency options, this feature provides a flexible appearance for the indicator on any chart.
Below, you can see the settings available in this section
🔔 Alert Customization
You can configure over 16 types of reactions to various events on the chart. Additionally, you can set up alerts to trigger at specific fill levels and explore numerous other alert options, as shown in the screenshot below.
🟠 Usage Examples
We have also prepared several examples of how to use the indicator. These are standard entry models taken from the classic Smart Money concept.
First Example
In the screenshot above, the market displays a downward structure until a manipulation occurs, followed by a CHoCH break. This is a standard entry model featuring an entry at the nearest FVG, a stop-loss placed beyond the manipulation, and a target at the nearest liquidity zone—whether session-based or, as in our case, a gap (one of the FVG types) that price commonly revisits.
This is considered a more aggressive entry because we only waited for a single confirmation of the trend change—the CHoCH break—and then entered immediately afterward. While the WinRate might be lower in such trades, the Risk-Reward ratio is typically very high if you correctly identify the manipulation.
Second Example
This approach is more conservative and less risky, typically offering a higher WinRate but with a lower Risk-Reward ratio.
Here, we use the 4H FVG as our decision point (POI). With the indicator, we plot the 4-hour FVG on our current chart without needing to switch back and forth between timeframes.
Once price reaches our POI, we look for an entry model that includes three confirmations:
First Confirmation – A CHoCH break.
Second Confirmation – A manipulation.
Third Confirmation – A second BOS break.
We wait for all these confirmations before entering the trade, ensuring our stop-loss is well-protected since the remaining liquidity has been swept and the 4-hour FVG has been fully filled.
Our target is the full fill of a higher timeframe FVG or other high-liquidity levels below.
In a conservative setup, it is crucial to allow a complete OrderFlow to develop, including manipulations and clear breaks of lower levels. This approach helps protect the trade and often results in a higher WinRate.
🟠 Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results. To trade successfully, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the market context and the specific situation at hand. Always conduct your own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.
