Power Of 3 ICT 01 [TradingFinder] AMD ICT & SMC Accumulations🔵 Introduction
The ICT Power of 3 (PO3) strategy, developed by Michael J. Huddleston, known as the Inner Circle Trader, is a structured approach to analyzing daily market activity. This strategy divides the trading day into three distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution.
Each phase represents a unique market behavior influenced by institutional traders, offering a clear framework for retail traders to align their strategies with market movements.
Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST) takes place during low-volatility hours, as institutional traders accumulate orders. Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST) involves false breakouts and liquidity traps designed to mislead retail traders. Finally, Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST) represents the active phase where significant market movements occur as institutions distribute their positions in line with the broader trend.
This indicator is built upon the Power of 3 principles to provide traders with a practical and visual tool for identifying these key phases. By using clear color coding and precise time zones, the indicator highlights critical price levels, such as highs and lows, helping traders to better understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Incorporating the ICT AMD setup into daily analysis enables traders to anticipate market behavior, spot high-probability trade setups, and gain deeper insights into institutional trading strategies. With its focus on time-based price action, this indicator simplifies complex market structures, offering an effective tool for traders of all levels.
🔵 How to Use

FVG - Fair Value Gap Detector with Large Movement FilterScript Description: Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector with Large Movement Filter
This indicator is designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVG), which are price imbalances observed between three consecutive candles. Fair Value Gap detection is commonly used by traders to locate areas of imbalance where demand and supply temporarily lose equilibrium. This imbalance often draws price back to these zones, making them potential points of interest for buy or sell opportunities.
Key Features of the Indicator
FVG Detection Based on Three Consecutive Candles:
The script identifies a Fair Value Gap between three consecutive candles. This gap appears when the high of the first candle is below the low of the third candle (or vice versa). These gap zones are significant as they indicate an imbalance in price between buyers and sellers, with the expectation that price may revisit these areas in the future.
Large Movement Filter Using ATR:
To improve accuracy and avoid false signals in minor price fluctuations, this indicator includes a large movement filter based on the Average True Range (ATR). The ATR is calculated over a configurable period, and a multiplier is applied to set the minimum required range for a large movement. This helps ensure that only gaps in areas with significant price movement are identified.
Visual Differentiation with Customizable Colors:
The script allows users to configure FVG box colors for easy gap visualization. Identified zones on the chart are highlighted with a colored box, making it easy for the trader to identify imbalance points and observe potential mitigation.
FVG Mitigation and Capture:
The indicator continuously checks if the price is within the FVG zone, indicating that the gap has been mitigated or “captured” by the price. The mitigation or capture status is displayed visually on the chart, using a color scheme to indicate whether the gap has been retested by price after its creation.
How to Use the Indicator
Configuring Parameters:
ATR Multiplier: Defines how large a movement relative to ATR is required for the gap to be considered significant. Higher values require larger movements.
ATR Period: Sets the number of candles used in the ATR calculation, affecting the sensitivity to large movements.
Customizable Colors: Traders can adjust the FVG box colors and labels indicating mitigation and capture of the imbalance zones.
Visual Interpretation:
FVG Boxes: Colored boxes will appear on the chart to highlight gap zones. These boxes only display following the detection of a large movement, as defined by ATR.
Mitigation and Capture Labels: The indicator places a label below the bar when a gap is identified, highlighting zones where gaps may be mitigated or captured. The color scheme helps traders quickly interpret the status of a gap.
Underlying Concepts and Practical Application
The Fair Value Gap is widely used in liquidity analysis and price reversal zones. By identifying FVG zones based on large price movements, this script enables traders to monitor potential gap-fill areas. With the large movement filter, the indicator is ideal for strategies that prioritize liquidity and price zone mitigation, making it useful for both short-term (scalping) and long-term strategies.
This indicator provides a solid foundation for traders interested in observing price imbalances and future mitigations.
Bullrun Profit Maximizer [QuantraSystems]Bullrun Profit Maximizer
Quantra Systems guarantees that the information created and published within this document and on the Tradingview platform is fully compliant with applicable regulations, does not constitute investment advice, and is not exclusively intended for qualified investors.
Important Note!
The system equity curve presented here has been generated as part of the process of testing and verifying the methodology behind this script.
Crucially, it was developed after the system was conceptualized, designed, and created, which helps to mitigate the risk of overfitting to historical data. In other words, the system was built for robustness, not for simply optimizing past performance.
This ensures that the system is less likely to degrade in performance over time, compared to hyper optimized systems that are tailored to past data. No tweaks or optimizations were made to this system post backtest.
Even More Important Note!!
The nature of markets is that they change quickly and unpredictably. Past performance does not guarantee future results - this is a fundamental rule in trading and investing.
While this system is designed with broad, flexible conditions to adapt quickly to a range of market environments, it is essential to understand that no assumptions should be made about future returns based on historical data. Markets are inherently uncertain, and this system - like all trading systems - cannot predict future outcomes.
Introduction
The "Adaptive Pairwise Momentum System" is not a prototype to the Bullrun Profit Maximizer (BPM) . The Bullrun Profit Maximizer is a fully re-engineered, higher frequency momentum system.
The Bullrun Profit Maximizer (BPM) uses a completely different filter logic and refines momentum calculations, specifically to support higher frequency trading on Crypto's Blue Chip assets. It correctly calculates fees and slippage by compounding them against System Profit before plotting the equity curve.
Unlike prior systems, this script utilizes a completely new filter logic and refined momentum calculation, specifically built to support higher frequency trading on blue-chip assets, while minimizing the impact of fees and slippage.
While the APMS focuses on Macro Trend Alignment, the BPM instead applies an equity curve based filter, allowing for targeted precision on the current asset’s trend without relying on broader market conditions. This approach delivers more responsive and asset specific signals, enhancing agility in today’s fast paced crypto markets.
The BPM dynamically optimizes capital allocation across up to four high performing assets, ensuring that the portfolio adapts swiftly to changing market conditions. The system logic consists of sophisticated quantitative methods, rapid momentum analysis and alpha cyclicality/seasonality optimizations. The overarching goal is to ensure that the portfolio is always invested in the highest performing asset based on dynamic market conditions, while at the same time managing risk through rapid asset filters and internal mechanisms like alpha cyclicality, volatility and beta analysis.
In addition to these core functionalities, the BPM comes with the typical Quantra Systems UI design, structured to reduce data clutter and provide users with only the most essential, impactful information. The BPM UI format delivers clear and easy to read signals. It enables rapid decision making in a high frequency environment without compromising on depth or accuracy.
Bespoke Logic Filtering with Equity Curve Precision
The BPM script utilizes a completely new methodology and focuses on intraday rotations of blue-chip crypto assets, while previously built systems were designed with a longer term focus in mind.
In response to the need for more precise signal generation, the BPM replaces the previous macro trend filter with a new, highly specific equity curve activation filter. This unique logic filter is driven solely by the performance trends of the asset currently held by the system. By analyzing the equity curve directly, this system can make more targeted, timely allocations based on asset specific momentum, allowing for quick adjustments that are more relevant to the held asset rather than general market conditions.
The benefits of this new, unique approach are twofold: first, it avoids premature allocation shifts based on broader macro movements, and second, it enables the system to adapt dynamically to the performance of each asset individually. This asset specific filtering allows traders to capitalize on localized strength within individual blue-chip cryptoassets without being affected by lags in the overall market trend.
High Frequency Momentum Calculation for Enhanced Flexibility
The BPM incorporates a newly designed momentum calculation that increases its suitability across lower timeframes. This new momentum indicator captures and processes more data points within a shorter window than ever before, rather than extending bar intervals and potentially losing high frequency detail. This creates a smooth, data rich featureset that is especially suited for blue-chip assets, where liquidity reduces slippage and fees, making higher frequency trading viable.
By retaining more data, this system captures subtle shifts in momentum more effectively than traditional approaches, offering higher resolution insights. These modifications result in a system capable of generating highly responsive signals on faster timeframes, empowering traders to act quickly in volatile markets.
User Interface and Enhanced Readability
The BPM also features a reimagined, streamlined user interface, making it easier than ever to monitor essential signals at a glance. The new layout minimizes extraneous data points in the tables, leaving only the most actionable information for traders. This cleaner presentation is purpose built to help traders identify the strongest asset in real time, with clear, color coded signals to facilitate swift decision making in fast moving markets.
Equity Stats Table : Designed for clarity, the stats table focuses on the current allocation’s performance metrics, emphasizing the most critical metrics without unnecessary clutter.
Color Coded Highlights : The interface includes the option to highlight both the current top performing asset, and historical allocations - with indicators of momentum shifts and performance metrics readily accessible.
Clear Signals : Visual cues are presented in an enhanced way to improve readability, including simplified line coloring, and improve visualization of the outperforming assets in the allocation table.
Dynamic Asset Reallocation
The BPM dynamically allocates capital to the strongest performing asset in a selected pool. This system incorporates a re-engineered, pairwise momentum measurement designed to operate at higher frequencies. The system evaluates each asset against others in real time, ensuring only the highest momentum asset receives allocation. This approach keeps the portfolio positioned for maximum efficiency, with an updated weighting logic that favors assets showing both strength and sustainability.
Position Changes and Slippage Calculation
Position changes are optimized for faster reallocation, with realistic slippage and fee calculations factored into each trade. The system’s structure minimizes the impact of these costs on blue-chip assets, allowing for more active management on short timeframes without incurring significant drag on performance.
A Special Note on Fees + Slippage
In the image above, the system has been applied to four different timeframes - 12h, 8h, 4h and 1h - using identical settings and a selected slippage and fees amount of 0.2%. In this stress test, we isolate the choppy downwards period from the previous Bitcoin all time high - set in March 2024, to the current date where Bitcoin is currently sitting at around the same level.
This illustrates an important concept: starting at the 12h, the system performed better as the timeframes decreased. In fact, only on the 4hr chart did the system equity curve make a new all time high alongside Bitcoin. It is worth noting that market phases that are “non-trending” are generally the least profitable periods to use a momentum/trend system - as most systems will get caught by false momentum and will “buy the top,” and then proceed to “sell the bottom.”
Lower timeframes typically offer more data points for the algorithm to compute over, and enable quicker entries and exits within a robust system, often reducing downside risk and compounding gains more effectively - in all market environments.
However, slippage, fees, and execution constraints are still limiting factors. Although blue-chip cryptocurrencies are more liquid and can be traded with lower fees compared to low cap assets, frequent trading on lower timeframes incurs cumulative slippage costs. With the BPM system set to a realistic slippage rate of 0.2% per trade, this example emphasizes how even lower fees impact performance as trade frequency increases.
Finding the optimal balance between timeframe and slippage impact requires careful consideration of factors such as portfolio size, liquidity of selected tokens, execution speed, and the fee rate of the exchange you execute trades on.
Number of Position Changes
Understanding the number of position changes in a strategy is critical to assessing its feasibility in real world trading. Frequent position changes can lead to increased costs due to slippage and fees. Monitoring the number of position changes provides insight into the system’s behavior - helping to evaluate how active the strategy is and whether it aligns with the trader's desired time input for position management.
Equity Curve and Performance Calculations
To provide a benchmark, the script also generates a Buy-and-Hold (or "HODL") equity curve that represents a 100% allocation to Bitcoin, the highest market cap cryptoasset. This allows users to easily compare the performance of the dynamic rotation system with that of a more traditional investment strategy.
The script tracks key performance metrics for both the dynamic portfolio and the HODL strategy, including:
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio is a key metric that evaluates a portfolio’s risk adjusted return by comparing its ‘excess’ return to its volatility. Traditionally, the Sharpe Ratio measures returns relative to a risk-free rate. However, in our system’s calculation, we omit the risk-free rate and instead measure returns above a benchmark of 0%. This adjustment provides a more universal comparison, especially in the context of highly volatile assets like cryptocurrencies, where a traditional risk-free benchmark, such as the usual 3-month T-bills, is often irrelevant or too distant from the realities of the crypto market.
By using 0% as the baseline, we focus purely on the strategy's ability to generate raw returns in the face of market risk, which makes it easier to compare performance across different strategies or asset classes. In an environment like cryptocurrency, where volatility can be extreme, the importance of relative return against a highly volatile backdrop outweighs comparisons to a risk-free rate that bears little resemblance to the risk profile of digital assets.
Sortino Ratio
The Sortino Ratio improves upon the Sharpe Ratio by specifically targeting downside risk and leaves the upside potential untouched. In contrast to the Sharpe Ratio (which penalizes both upside and downside volatility), the Sortino Ratio focuses only on negative return deviations. This makes it a more suitable metric for evaluating strategies like the Bullrun Profit Maximizer - that aim to minimize drawdowns without restricting upside capture. By measuring returns relative to a 0% baseline, the Sortino ratio provides a clearer assessment of how well the system generates gains while avoiding substantial losses in highly volatile markets like crypto.
Omega Ratio
The Omega Ratio is calculated as the ratio of gains to losses across all return thresholds, providing a more complete view of how the system balances upside and downside risk even compared to the Sortino Ratio. While it achieves a similar outcome to the Sortino Ratio by emphasizing the system's ability to capture gains while limiting losses, it is technically a mathematically superior method. However, we include both the Omega and Sortino ratios in our metric table, as the Sortino Ratio remains more widely recognized and commonly understood by traders and investors of all levels.
Usage Summary:
While the backtests in this description are generated as if a trader held a portfolio of just the strongest tokens, this was mainly designed as a method of logical verification and not a recommended investment strategy. In practice, this system can be used in multiple ways.
It can be used as above, or as a factor in forming part of a broader asset selection tool, or even a method of filtering tokens by strength in order to inform a day trader which tokens might be optimal to look at, for long-only trading setups on an intrabar timeframe.
Summary
The Bullrun Profit Maximizer is an advanced tool tailored for traders, offering the precision and agility required in today’s markets. With its asset specific equity curve filter, reworked momentum analysis, and streamlined user interface, this system is engineered to maximize gains and minimize risk during bullmarkets, with a strong focus on risk adjusted performance.
Its refined approach, focused on high resolution data processing and adaptive reallocation, makes it a powerful choice for traders looking to capture high quality trends on clue-chip assets, no matter the market’s pace.
ICT Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Breaker Blocks + Reversal Candles🔵 Introduction
The "Breaker Block" concept, widely utilized in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) technical analysis, is a crucial tool for identifying reversal points and significant market shifts. Originating from the "Order Block" concept, Breaker Blocks help traders pinpoint support and resistance levels. These blocks are essential for understanding market trends and recognizing optimal entry and exit points.
A Breaker Block is essentially a failed Order Block that changes its role when price action breaks through it. When an Order Block fails to hold as a support or resistance level, it reverses its function, becoming a Breaker Block.
There are two primary types : Bullish Breaker Blocks and Bearish Breaker Blocks. These Breaker Blocks align with the prevailing market trend and indicate potential entry points after a liquidity sweep or a shift in market structure.
Understanding and applying the Breaker Block strategy enables traders to capitalize on the behavior of institutional investors, enhancing their trading outcomes.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The ICT Setup 02 indicator designed to automate the identification of Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks. This tool enables traders to easily spot these blocks on a chart and utilize them for entering or exiting trades. Below is a breakdown of how to use this indicator in both bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish Breaker Block Setup
A Bullish Breaker Block setup is identified in an uptrend, where it serves as a potential entry point. This setup occurs when a Bearish Order Block fails and the price moves above the high of that Order Block. In this scenario, the previously bearish Order Block turns into a Bullish Breaker Block, which now acts as a support level for the price.
To trade a Bullish Breaker Block, wait for the price to retest this newly formed support level. Confirmation of the uptrend can be achieved by analyzing lower time frames for further market structure shifts or other bullish indicators.
A successful retest of the Bullish Breaker Block provides a high-probability entry point for a long trade, as it signals institutional support. Traders often place their stop-loss below the low of the Breaker Block zone to minimize risk.
🟣 Bearish Breaker Block Setup
A Bearish Breaker Block setup, conversely, is used in a downtrend to identify potential sell opportunities. This setup forms when a Bullish Order Block fails, and the price moves below the low of that Order Block.
Once this Order Block is broken, it reverses its role and becomes a Bearish Breaker Block, providing resistance to the price as it pushes downward. For a Bearish Breaker Block trade, wait for the price to retest this resistance level.
A confirmation of the downtrend, such as a market structure shift on a lower time frame or additional bearish signals, strengthens the setup. The Bearish Breaker Block retest provides an opportunity to enter a short position, with a stop-loss placed just above the high of the Breaker Block zone.
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This setting controls the look-back period used to identify pivot points that contribute to the detection of Order Blocks. A higher period captures longer-term pivots, while a lower period focuses on more recent price action. Adjusting this parameter allows traders to fine-tune the indicator to match their trading time frame.
Breaker Block Validity Period : This setting defines how long a Breaker Block remains valid based on the number of bars elapsed since its formation. Increasing the validity period keeps Breaker Blocks active for a longer duration, which can be useful for higher time frame analysis.
Mitigation Level BB : This option lets traders choose the level of the Order Block at which the price is expected to react. Options like "Proximal," "50% OB," and "Distal" adjust the zone where a reaction may occur, offering flexibility in setting up the entry and stop-loss levels.
Breaker Block Refinement : The refinement option refines the Breaker Block zone to display a more precise range for aggressive or defensive trading approaches. The "Aggressive" mode provides a tighter range for risk-tolerant traders, while the "Defensive" mode expands the zone for those with a more conservative approach.
🔵 Conclusion
The Breaker Block indicator provides traders with a sophisticated tool for identifying key reversal zones in the market. By leveraging Breaker Blocks, traders can gain insights into institutional order flow and predict critical support and resistance levels.
Using Breaker Blocks in conjunction with other ICT concepts, like Fair Value Gaps or liquidity sweeps, enhances the reliability of trading signals. This indicator empowers traders to make informed decisions, aligning their trades with institutional moves in the market.
As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to incorporate proper risk management, using stop-losses and position sizing to minimize potential losses. The Breaker Block strategy, when applied with discipline and thorough analysis, serves as a powerful addition to any trader’s toolkit.

Rounded Grid Levels🟩 Rounded Grid Levels is a visual tool that helps traders quickly identify key psychological price levels on any chart. By dynamically adapting to the user's visible screen area, it provides consistent, easy-to-read round number grids that align with price action. The indicator offers a traditional visualization of horizontal round level grids, along with enhanced options such as tilted grids that align with market sentiment, and fan-shaped grids for alternative price interaction views. It serves purely as a visual aid, providing an adaptable way to observe rounded price levels without making predictions or generating trading signals.
⚡ OVERVIEW ⚡
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify and track price levels that may hold psychological significance, such as round numbers or significant milestones. These levels often serve as potential areas for price reactions, including support, resistance, or points of market interest. The indicator's gridlines are determined by user-defined settings and adjust dynamically based on the visible chart area, meaning they are influenced by the user's current zoom level and perspective. This behavior is similar to TradingView's built-in grid lines found in the chart settings canvas, which also adjust in real-time based on the visible screen, ensuring the most relevant price levels are displayed. By default, the indicator provides consistent gridlines to represent traditional round number levels, offering a straightforward view of key psychological areas. Additionally, users have access to experimental and novel configurations, such as fan-shaped layouts, which expand from a central point and adapt directionally based on user settings. This configuration can provide an alternate perspective for traders, especially useful in analyzing broader market moves and visualizing expansion relative to the current price.
Users can display the gridlines in a variety of configurations, including horizontal, neutral, auto, or fan-shaped layouts, depending on their preferred method of analysis. This flexibility allows traders to focus on different types of price action without overcrowding the visual representation of price movements.
This indicator is intended purely as a visual aid for understanding how price interacts with rounded levels over time. It does not generate predictive trading signals or recommendations but rather provides traders with a customizable framework to enhance their market analysis.
⭕ ROUND NUMBERS IN MARKET PSYCHOLOGY ⭕
Round numbers hold a significant place in financial markets, largely due to the psychological tendencies of traders and investors. These levels often represent areas of interest where human behavior, market biases, and trading strategies converge. Whether it's prices ending in 000, 500, or other recognizable values, these levels naturally attract more attention and influence decision-making.
Round numbers can act as key support or resistance levels and often become focal points in market activity. They are frequently highlighted by financial media, embedded in products like options, and serve as foundations for various trading theories. Their impact extends across different market participants and strategies, making them important focal points in both short-term and long-term market analysis.
Round numbers play an important role in guiding trader behavior and market activity. To better understand why these levels are so impactful, there are several key factors that highlight their significance in trading and price dynamics:
Psychological Impact : Humans naturally gravitate toward round numbers, such as prices ending in 000, 500, or 00. These levels tend to draw attention as traders perceive them as psychologically significant. This behavior is rooted in the cognitive bias known as "left-digit bias," where people assign greater importance to rounded, more recognizable numbers. In trading, this means that prices at these levels are more memorable and thus more likely to attract attention, creating an area where traders focus their buying or selling decisions.
Order Clustering : Traders often place buy and sell orders around these rounded levels, either manually or automatically through stop and limit orders. This clustering leads to the formation of visible support or resistance zones, as the concentrated orders tend to influence price behavior around these key levels. Market participants tend to converge their orders around these price points because of their perceived psychological importance, creating a liquidity pocket. As a result, these areas often act as barriers that the price either struggles to cross or uses as springboards for further movement.
External Influences : Financial media frequently highlights round-number milestones, amplifying market sentiment and drawing traders' attention to these levels. Additionally, algorithmic trading systems often react to round-number thresholds, which can further reinforce price movements, creating self-reinforcing reactions at these levels. As media and analysts emphasize these milestones, more traders pay attention to them, leading to increased volume and often heightened volatility at those points. This self-reinforcing cycle makes round numbers an area where price movement can either accelerate due to a breakout or stall because of clustering interest.
Option Strike Prices : Options contracts typically have strike prices set at round numbers, and as expiration approaches, these levels can influence the price of the underlying asset due to concentrated trading activity. The behavior around these levels, often called "pinning," happens because traders adjust their positions to avoid unfavorable scenarios at these key strikes. This activity tends to concentrate price movement toward these levels as traders hedge their positions, leading to increased liquidity and the potential for abrupt price reactions near option expiration dates.
Whole Number Theory : This theory suggests that whole numbers act as natural psychological barriers, where traders tend to make decisions, place orders, or expect price reactions, making these levels crucial for analysis. Whole numbers are simple to remember and are often used as informal targets for profit-taking or stop placement. This behavior leads to a natural ebb and flow around these levels, where the market finds equilibrium temporarily before deciding on a future direction. Whole numbers tend to work like magnets, drawing price to them and often creating reactions that are visible across different timeframes.
Quarters Theory : Commonly used in Forex markets, this theory focuses on quarter-point increments (e.g., 1.0000, 1.2500, 1.5000) as key levels where price often pauses or reverses. These quarter levels are treated as important psychological barriers, with price frequently interacting at these intervals. Traders use these points to gauge market strength or weakness because quarter levels divide larger round-number ranges into more manageable and meaningful segments. For example, in highly traded forex pairs like EUR/USD, traders might treat 1.2500 as a significant barrier because it represents a halfway point between 1.0000 and 1.5000, offering a balanced reference point for decision-making.
Big Round Numbers : Major round numbers, such as 100, 500, or 1000, often attract significant attention and serve as psychological thresholds. Traders anticipate strong reactions when prices approach or cross these levels. This is often because large round numbers symbolize major milestones, and price behavior around them tends to signal important market sentiment shifts. When price crosses a major level, such as a stock moving above $100 or Bitcoin crossing $50,000, it often creates a surge in trading activity as it is viewed as a validation or invalidation of market trends, drawing in momentum traders and triggering both retail and institutional responses.
By visualizing these round levels on the chart, the Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders identify areas where price may pause, reverse, or gain momentum. While round numbers provide useful insights, they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for a comprehensive trading strategy.
🛠️ CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS 🛠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator offers a variety of configurable settings to tailor the visualization according to individual trader preferences. Below are the key settings available for customization:
Custom Settings
Rounding Step : The Rounding Step parameter sets the minimum interval between gridlines. This value determines how closely spaced the rounded levels are on the chart. For example, if the Rounding Step is set to 100, gridlines will be displayed at every 100 points (e.g., $100, $200, $300) relative to the current price level. The Rounding Step is scaled to the chart's visible area, meaning users should adjust it appropriately for different assets to ensure effective visualization. Lower values provide a more granular view, while larger values give a broader, higher-level perspective.
Major Grids : Defines the interval at which major gridlines will appear compared to minor ones. For example, if the Rounding Step is 100 and Major Grids is set to 10, major gridlines will be displayed every $1,000, while minor gridlines will be at every $100. This distinction allows traders to better visualize key psychological levels by emphasizing significant price intervals.
Direction : Users can select the gridline direction, choosing between options such as 'Up', 'Down', 'Auto', or 'Neutral'. This setting controls how the gridlines extend relative to the current price level, which can help in analyzing directional trends.
Neutral Direction : This option provides balanced gridlines both above and below the current price, allowing traders to visualize support and resistance levels symmetrically. This is useful for analyzing sideways or ranging markets without directional bias.
Up Direction : The gridlines are tilted upwards, starting from visible lows and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. By choosing Up , traders emphasize an upward sentiment, visualizing price action that aligns with rising trends. This option helps illustrate potential areas where pullbacks may occur, as well as how price might expand upwards in the current market context.
Down Direction : The gridlines are tilted downwards, starting from visible highs and extending toward the rounded level at the current price. Selecting Down allows traders to emphasize a downward sentiment, visualizing how price may expand downwards, which is particularly useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels. The gridlines provide an illustrative view of how price interacts with lower levels during market declines.
Auto Direction : The gridlines automatically adjust their direction based on recent market trends. This adaptive option allows traders to visualize gridlines that dynamically change according to price action, making it suitable for evolving market conditions where the direction is uncertain. It’s useful for traders looking for an indicator that moves in sync with market shifts and doesn’t require manual adjustment.
Grid Type : Allows users to choose between 'Linear' or 'Fan' grid types. The Linear type creates evenly spaced gridlines that can be either horizontal or tilted, depending on the chosen direction setting, providing a straightforward view of price levels. The Fan type radiates lines from a central point, offering a more dynamic perspective for analyzing price expansions relative to the current price. These grid types introduce experimental visualizations influenced by chart properties, including visible highs, lows, and the current price. Regardless of the configuration, the gridlines will always end at the current bar, which represents a rounded price level, ensuring consistency in how key price areas are displayed.
Extend : This setting allows gridlines to be projected into the future, helping traders see potential levels beyond the current bar. When enabled, the behavior of the extended lines varies based on the selected grid type and direction. For Neutral and Horizontal Linear settings, the extended gridlines maintain their round-number alignment indefinitely. However, for Up , Down , or Auto directions, the angle of the extended gridlines can change dynamically based on the chart’s visible high and low or the latest price action. As a result, extended lines may not continue to align with round-number levels beyond the current bar, reflecting instead the current trend and sentiment of the market. Regardless of direction, extended gridlines remain consistently spaced and either parallel or evenly distributed, ensuring a structured visual representation.
Color Settings : Users can customize the colors for resistance, support, and minor gridlines at the current price. This helps in visually distinguishing between different grid types and their significance on the chart.
Color Options
These configuration options make the Rounded Grid Levels indicator a versatile tool for traders looking to customize their charts based on their personal trading strategies and analytical preferences.
🖼️ CHART EXAMPLES 🖼️
The following chart examples illustrate different configurations available in the Rounded Grid Levels indicator. These examples show how variations in grid type, direction, and rounding step settings impact the visualization of price levels. Traders may find that smaller rounding steps are more effective on lower time frames, where precision is key, whereas larger rounding steps help to reduce clutter and highlight key levels on higher time frames. Each image includes a caption to explain the specific configuration used, helping users better understand how to apply these settings in different market conditions.
Smaller Rounding Step (100) : With a smaller rounding step, the gridlines are spaced closely together. This setting is particularly useful for lower time frames where price action is more granular and finer details are needed. It allows traders to track price interactions at narrower levels, but on higher time frames, it may lead to clutter and exceed Pine Script's 500-line limit.
Larger Rounding Step (1000) : With a larger rounding step, the gridlines are spaced farther apart. This visualization is better suited for higher time frames or broader market overviews, allowing users to focus on major psychological levels without overloading the chart. On lower time frames, this may result in fewer actionable levels, but it helps in maintaining clarity and staying within Pine Script's line limit.
Linear Grid Type, Neutral Direction (Traditional Rounded Price Levels) : The Linear gridlines are displayed in a neutral fashion, representing traditional round-number levels with consistent spacing above and below the current price. This layout helps visualize key psychological price levels over time in a straightforward manner.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup emphasizes downward market sentiment, allowing traders to visualize price expansion towards lower levels, which is useful when analyzing downtrends or potential correction levels.
Linear Grid Type, Down Direction : The Linear gridlines are tilted downwards, extending from the current price to lower levels. Useful for observing downtrending price movements and visualizing pullback areas during uptrends.
Linear Grid Type, Auto Direction : The Linear gridlines adjust dynamically, tilting either upwards or downwards to align with recent price trends, remaining parallel and ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration reflects the current market sentiment and offers traders a flexible way to observe price dynamics as they develop in real time.
Fan Grid Type, Neutral Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines radiate symmetrically from a central point, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This configuration provides an unbiased view of price action, giving traders a balanced visualization of rounded levels without directional influence.
Fan Grid Type, Up Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from lower visible price points and radiate upwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This layout helps visualize potential price expansion to higher levels, offering insights into upward momentum while maintaining a dynamic and evolving perspective on market conditions.
Fan Grid Type, Down Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines originate from higher visible price points and radiate downwards, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This setup is particularly useful for observing potential price expansion towards lower levels, illustrating areas where the price might extend during a downtrend.
Fan Grid Type, Auto Direction : The fan-shaped gridlines dynamically adjust, originating from visible chart points based on the current market trend, and radiate outward, ending at the rounded level at the current price. This adaptive visualization offers a continuously evolving representation that aligns with changing market sentiment, helping traders assess price expansion dynamically.
📊 SUMMARY 📊
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator helps traders highlight important round-number price levels on their charts, providing a dynamic way to visualize these psychological areas. With customizable gridline options—including traditional, tilted, and fan-shaped styles—users can adapt the indicator to suit their analysis needs. The gridlines adjust with chart zoom or scale, offering a flexible tool for observing price action, without providing specific trading signals or predictions.
⚙️ COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS ⚙️
Asset Compatibility :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is compatible with all asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and commodities. Users should adjust both the Rounding Step and the Major Grid settings to ensure the correct scale is used for the specific asset. This adjustment ensures that the most relevant round price levels are displayed effectively regardless of the instrument being analyzed. For instance, when analyzing BTCUSD, a higher Rounding Step may be needed compared to forex pairs like EURUSD, and the Major Grid value should also be adjusted to appropriately emphasize significant levels.
Line Limitations in Pine Script :
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is subject to Pine Script's 500-line limit. This means that it cannot draw more than 500 gridlines on the chart at any given time. The number of gridlines depends directly on the chosen Rounding Step . If the steps are too small, the gridlines will be spaced too closely, causing the indicator to quickly reach the line limit. For example, if Ethereum is trading around $2,500, a Rounding Step of 100 might be appropriate, but a step of 1.00 would create too many gridlines, exceeding Pine Script's limit. Users should consider appropriate settings to avoid running into this constraint.
Runtime Error Considerations
When using the Rounded Grid Levels indicator, users might encounter a runtime error in specific scenarios. This typically happens if the Rounding Step is set too small, causing the indicator to exceed Pine Script's line limit or take too long to process. This can often occur when switching between charts that have significantly different price ranges. Since the Rounding Step requires flexibility to work with a wide variety of assets—ranging from decimals to thousands—it is not practically limited within the script itself. If a runtime error occurs, the recommended solution is to increase the Rounding Step to a larger value that better matches the current asset's price range.
Runtime Error: If the Rounding Step is too small for the current asset or chart, the indicator may generate a runtime error. Users should increase the Rounding Step to ensure proper visualization.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️
The Rounded Grid Levels indicator is not designed as a predictive tool. While it extends gridlines into the future, this extension is purely for visual continuity and does not imply any forecast of future price movements. The primary function of this indicator is to help users visualize significant round number price levels.
The gridlines adjust dynamically based on the visible chart range, ensuring that the most relevant round price levels are displayed. This behavior allows the indicator to adapt to your current view of the market, but it should not be used to predict price movements. The indicator is intended as a visual aid and should be used alongside other tools in a comprehensive market analysis approach.
While gridlines may align with significant price levels in hindsight, they should not be interpreted as indicators of future price movements. Traders are encouraged to adjust settings based on their strategy and market conditions.

Trademania - PVSRA IndicatorTrademania - PVSRA Indicator
The Trademania - PVSRA Indicator is based on a proven MT4 indicator suite that has been in use since 2013. Over time, it has been expanded with additional features and tools. Originally developed for the Forex market, it also works well for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other assets. The goal of this indicator is to combine classic chart analysis with PVSRA analysis, allowing for a clean mixed chart analysis. Traders gain access to a wide range of important information and can use it to form their trading assumptions. The indicator is designed to make it as simple as possible: identifying price levels at the breakout of key support/resistance, for confirmations above/below an imbalance, or recognizing and validating standard structures.
Important: This indicator is designed to be used across all timeframes. It works equally well for scalping on lower timeframes and for larger timeframes, such as spot trading on the 4H or daily chart.
The following core features are available:
- PVSRA Candles
- Dynamic Zones for PVSRA Candles (Imbalance)
- Market sessions with high/low points
- Integrated EMAs (daily, weekly, higher time frames)
- Fully customizable EMAs
- Pivot points with mid/50% level
- Price ranges from yesterday and last week
- Average daily range (also available for weekly and monthly)
- Psychological levels (for Forex)
- Daily open
- High/Low Point of Control (POC) indicators for wicks and candle bodies
- WIL (Weekly Interest Level) - High/Low of the Asian session
- On-chart labels for nearly all elements
Key Features:
- PVSRA, integrated POC levels, and WIL levels distinguish this indicator.
- Integrated EMAs and the daily, weekly, high time frame EMAs can be supplemented or replaced by custom EMAs for maximum flexibility.
Special Feature:
- Lite Mode for better visibility and simplified chart analysis.
Instructions and Notes
PVSRA Candles
Display volume or tick volume on the chart.
- Candles with more than 200% average volume of the last 10 candles, where the product of candle spread and volume is greater than the last 10 candles/timeframes, are shown in green (bullish) and red (bearish).
- Blue and purple candles show the same with 150% average volume of the last 10 candles.
**Note:** To obtain valid information, the trading volume should be as large as possible. If you're viewing the chart of an exchange with low trading volume, you can use the PVSRA override to display the volume from another exchange. For example, you can view the Phemex chart but display the tick/volume of the Binance chart as PVSRA/Vector candles.
Dynamic Zones for PVSRA Candles (Imbalance)
Zones that match the color of the respective vector candle display imbalance on the chart.
- In PVSRA analysis, it is assumed that such imbalances will be revisited and corrected. It can be customized whether this should happen with candle wicks or just the candle bodies.
Market Sessions with High/Low Points (DST)
Relevant market sessions: Sydney/NZX, Tokyo, Hong Kong, EU, New York, as well as the Brinks sessions pre EU/NY, are marked with high/low points and labeled on the chart.
- In PVSRA/Mixed analysis, these represent important liquidity zones of the individual trading sessions, often serving as key support/resistance levels.
WIL (Weekly Interest Level) - High/Low of the Asian Session
The new WIL levels represent the market open/Asian session of the new trading week: Sydney open to Hong Kong close.
- This forms an important price range for the trading week and is always a key breakout zone or rejection area in mixed analysis. Additional liquidity is needed to break through these levels.
- Higher effort against the start of the week – an imbalance (above/below).
High/Low Point of Control (POC) Indicators for Wicks and Candle Bodies
Additionally, the indicator includes pivot-based POC markers at key highs/lows on the chart.
- A POC is generated from the candle footprint (1000 resolution) and displayed on the chart.
- **Note:** If the POC is in a wick, it is shown as a line; if the POC is only in the candle body, it is displayed in small text.
- In mixed analysis, POCs in volume-heavy wicks are always a key indication of price levels that will be revisited and a potential enhancer for a wick-fill upwards or downwards.
EMA/Pivot Points/Psychological Levels Classic/Average Ranges:
Daily/ADR - Weekly/AWR / High/Low values for day/week, as well as the daily open of the current trading day, form the foundation of the indicator.
- Base structures that account for imbalance must break certain price levels to confirm or invalidate a previous movement (bullish or bearish).
- 13/50/200/800 EMA retrace: Breaking these in either direction without addressing an imbalance on the opposite side requires confirmation after the break.
- Pivot-level trading operates on the same principle.
- **Note:** Pivot levels in this indicator have additional M-levels, which represent 50% markers to provide better insights into potential retraces or upward moves.
- For example: Breaking M1, retracing, and confirming at M1 with a target at M2.
To recognize a standard 3-level rise or retrace scenario in mixed analysis, as well as a potential extended chart progression, these levels are essential.
**Note:** Average ranges such as High/Low ADR are particularly important levels where interruptions are expected. Profit-taking, long/short, is common at these points, independent of standard structures. This also applies to the high/low levels of the last trading day and the weekly versions of these levels.
The daily open helps identify possible SPOT/Futures gaps (depending on the asset, such as a missing futures market over the weekend: NAS/DAX).
Important:
The Lite Mode is designed to help traders reduce the chart to essential core functions (PVSRA/EMA/WIL/Psy/Daily Open/Hi-Lo) to apply classic TA effectively and strengthen a mixed analysis or challenge certain assumptions regarding confirmation and imbalance.
**Note:** It is recommended to additionally use a MACD indicator to identify potential trends and momentum.
- For example, a positive MACD trend supporting a 50 EMA breakout with a target of the 200 EMA under positive imbalance (standard mixed pattern).
To cater to personal preferences or trading strategies, it is possible to add custom EMA values to the indicator without the need for a second or third separate indicator.
All functions are fully customizable within the indicator settings.
DTT Volatility Grid [Pro+] (NINE/ANARR)Introduction:
This tool is designed to automate the Digital Time Theory (DTT) framework created by Ivan and Anarr, and leverage the DTT Volatility Grid to navigate the advanced realm of Time-based statistical trading.
Description:
Built upon the proprietary Digital Time Theory (DTT), this script equips traders with an edge in analyzing Time and price-based market behaviour. It is designed for intraday traders of all asset classes, and breaks down the entire Daily range into Time Models and Inner Time Intervals. This tool is powered by data-driven insights, helping traders anticipate expansions, understand Time distortions, and assess market volatility at specific Times of the trading day.
Key Features:
Time-Based Models and Volatility Awareness: The indicator automatically populates the chart with DTT's Time Models. These Time Models, represented by specific Time Intervals, are engineered to highlight volatility injections within key sessions, offering traders clear insights into market dynamics and potential shifts.
Average Model Range Probability (AMRP): Know the average volatility expected for specific Time Models and use AMRP Levels (and Standard Deviation) to gauge the probability of a range break or failure, based on historical price action and Time data.
Root Candles and Liquidity Draws: Visualize Root Candles as draws on liquidity, showcasing premium and discount areas, and the starting point of a Time based price movement. Understand how the opening price and equilibrium of each Root Candle can serve as a framework for your trade executions. Distribution or accumulation above or below Root Candles can also be observed and utilized.
Extended Visualization: Observe prior Model Ranges into the current Time Model, including the High, Low, and Equilibrium from the previous Time Models, helping traders visualize potential support or resistance areas.
Lookback Periods and Model Count: Use customizable lookback periods to adjust the number of past models, providing further insight into market behaviour over a chosen historical range. This can help to keep charts clean and organized with one model displayed or multiple for backtesting purposes.
Detailed Data Table: The real-Time data table allows traders to view the AMRP and range data for selected models, providing an easy reference for model behaviour and volatility dynamics. The table can depict all Time Model average ranges for reference and study, providing insights to whether the previous models have exceeded their historical range volatility, or not.
Customization Options: Customize Time Intervals with various styles (solid, dashed, dotted) and choose different colors for each model or interval. You can also select which historical models to display, alongside customizable labels.
How Traders Can Use DTT Volatility Grid Effectively:
Understand Premium and Discount Areas: By tracking Time-based ranges and using DTT's Root Candles and Previous Model Equilibrium, traders can quickly assess whether price is trading in premium or discount territory during intraday sessions.
Expecting Volatility and Time-Sensitive Trades: Knowing when a move is nearing exhaustion or when Time-based distortions are likely to cause an expansion allows traders to stay ahead of sudden market shifts. The Inner Intervals and Root Candles in combination, highlight the volatility ranges across various Timeframes, giving traders insights into which Times of the day are likely to experience heightened market activity as per DTT.
Avoiding Low Volatility Periods: The AMRP system helps traders identify times of the day where price action is likely to slow down or become choppy, encouraging traders to step aside or reduce risk during these times. If the AMRP was extended above the average of the previous Time model and the current model depicts an average range probability of low volatility, then traders can sit out in anticipation for a model with higher volatility.
Usage Guidance:
Add DTT Volatility Grid (NINE/ANARR) to your TradingView chart.
Customize your preferred time intervals, model history, and visual settings for your session.
Use the data table to track average model ranges and probabilities, ensuring you align your trades with key levels.

asia session w shieldIntroduction
This Script displays the Asia Session Range
Description
The Indicator is based on UTC -7 timing but displays the Session Boxes automatically correct at your chart so you do not have to adjust any timings based on your Time Zone and don't have to do any calculations based on your UTC. It is already perfect.
You will see on default settings the blue Asia Box, the special ' invalid shield ' feature is there because first two hours are spread timing.
Most Timing-based Indicators have "bugged" boxes or don't show clean boxes at all and don't adjust at daylight savings times, we made sure that everything automatically gets adjusted so you don't have to! So the timings will always display at the correct time regarding the daylight savings times.
Combining Timing with Liquidity Zones the right way and in a clear, clean, and simple format.
Different than others this script also shows the "true" Asia range as it respects the "day open gap" which affects the Asia range in other scripts and it also covers the full 8 hours of Asia Session.
Recommended Use
The most beautiful display is on the M5 Timeframe as you have a clear overview of all sessions without losing the intraday view. You can also use it on the M1 for more details or the M15 for the bigger picture. The Template can hide on higher time frames starting from the H1 to not flood your chart with boxes.
How to use the Asia Session Range Box
Use the Asia Range Box as your intraday Guide, keep in mind that a Breakout of Asia high or low induces Liquidity and a common price behavior is a reversal after the fake breakout of that range.
CRT overlay 2Overview
The "CRT overlay 2" is designed to plot key levels and detect market patterns based on the 4-hour candle around a specific start time (5AM). It incorporates elements like the high, low, and 50% level of a key 4-hour candle, and also tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) to help identify potential price imbalances in the market. The indicator is primarily based on Candle Range Theory (CRT), which focuses on the significance of price movements within key candles and their relation to future market activity.
How the Script is Made
Key Components:
4-hour CRT Candle: The script identifies a specific 4-hour candle using a customizable start time (by default, it’s set to the 5 AM candle).
High, Low, and Midline Levels: For this selected 4-hour candle, the script calculates and draws the high, low, and 50% midpoint. These levels are used as reference points for further analysis.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): The script detects price gaps between candles (where the third candle does not fully overlap the first), which can act as areas of potential support or resistance. The user can toggle the plotting of midlines for these gaps.
Time Restrictions: The script limits its key functionalities (e.g., detecting highs, lows, and gaps) to a specific time window, between the target hour and the end hour (e.g., 5 AM to 10 AM).
Extensions and Visibility:
The plotted high, low, and midlines of the 4-hour candle extend a certain number of bars forward for visibility.
These lines stop extending after the end of the defined session (e.g., after 10 AM).
Wick Length Calculation:
The script calculates the length of a candle's wick as a percentage of the total range of the candle, which may provide insights into market rejections or momentum shifts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection:
The script detects both bullish and bearish FVGs based on a 3-candle pattern, plotting the gaps with customizable colors. The FVGs are then drawn on the chart for visual guidance.
Midlines of these gaps can also be drawn, and outdated or filled FVGs are removed after a set number of bars or if they are filled by price action.
How to Use It
Indicator Setup:
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will be able to customize settings for your desired timezone and the target 4-hour candle. By default, the script is set to the 5 AM candle, but this can be changed to any hour depending on your analysis needs.
The "CRT Candle Start" and "CRT Candle End" allow you to define the time range when the high, low, and midlines will be plotted and tracked.
Key Levels:
The script draws white lines for the high and low of the selected 4-hour candle, along with a green dashed line for the 50% mid-level. These lines serve as significant support and resistance levels.
During the defined session (e.g., 5 AM to 10 AM), these lines will actively extend and be visible on your chart.
After the session ends, these lines stop extending but remain on the chart for reference.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
The script automatically identifies gaps between candles and plots them on the chart with colored boxes (green for bullish gaps, orange for bearish gaps). These areas can serve as potential reversal or continuation zones.
You can choose whether or not to plot a dashed line at the 50% mark of these FVGs. This midline can be important for targeting partial fills or retracements.
Sweep Alerts and Higher Highs/Lower Lows:
The script monitors price action to detect when the market forms the very first higher high or lower low within the high and low range of the 4-hour candle. When a higher high or lower low is detected, the script plots a yellow label on the chart to mark the event and triggers an alert.
These events can indicate potential sweep patterns or liquidity grabs.
FVG Removal:
The script includes a feature to automatically remove FVGs when they are filled by price action or after they become too old (based on a user-defined number of bars). This helps keep the chart clean for further analysis without clutter from outdated information.
Practical Application
Intraday Traders: The script helps traders focus on specific time windows (like 5 AM to 10 AM) and provides key reference levels (high, low, midline) that can guide trading decisions. Breaks and retests of these levels are common trading strategies.
Market Reversal and Continuation: The detection of Fair Value Gaps and higher highs/lower lows within the defined range can be useful for identifying potential reversal points or continuation signals in the market.
Candle Range Theory (CRT): The script is rooted in CRT, which emphasizes the importance of high and low levels of key candles for future price action. This theory is often used by traders looking to identify support/resistance zones or liquidity grabs in the market.
In summary, CRT overlay 2 is designed for precision trading around key timeframes, focusing on levels from the 4-hour candle and incorporating Fair Value Gaps for potential trade entries or exits. Its customizable inputs make it flexible for various strategies, and its focus on time-based levels is aligned with concepts in intraday trading and market structure analysis.
Swing Failure Pattern SFP [TradingFinder] SFP ICT Strategy🔵 Introduction
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP), also referred to as a "Fake Breakout" or "False Breakout," is a vital concept in technical analysis. This pattern is derived from classic technical analysis, price action strategies, ICT concepts, and Smart Money Concepts.
It’s frequently utilized by traders to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets, especially in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies and forex. SFP helps traders recognize failed attempts to breach key support or resistance levels, providing strategic opportunities for trades.
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a popular strategy among traders used to identify false breakouts and potential trend reversals in the market. This strategy involves spotting moments where the price attempts to break above or below a previous high or low (breakout) but fails to sustain the move, leading to a sharp reversal.
Traders use this strategy to identify liquidity zones where stop orders (stop hunt) are typically placed and targeted by larger market participants or whales.
When the price penetrates these areas but fails to hold the levels, a liquidity sweep occurs, signaling exhaustion in the trend and a potential reversal. This strategy allows traders to enter the market at the right time and capitalize on opportunities created by false breakouts.
🟣 Types of SFP
When analyzing SFPs, two main variations are essential :
Real SFP : This occurs when the price breaks a critical level but fails to close above it, then quickly reverses. Due to its clarity and strong signal, this SFP type is highly reliable for traders.
Considerable SFP : In this scenario, the price closes slightly above a key level but quickly declines. Although significant, it is not as definitive or trustworthy as a Real SFP.
🟣 Understanding SFP
The Swing Failure Pattern, or False Breakout, is identified when the price momentarily breaks a crucial support or resistance level but cannot maintain the movement, leading to a rapid reversal.
The pattern can be categorized as follows :
Bullish SFP : This type occurs when the price dips below a support level but rebounds above it, signaling that sellers failed to push the price lower, indicating a potential upward trend.
Bearish SFP : This pattern forms when the price surpasses a resistance level but fails to hold, suggesting that buyers couldn’t maintain the higher price, leading to a potential decline.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively identify an SFP or Fake Breakout on a price chart, traders should follow these steps :
Identify Key Levels: Locate significant support or resistance levels on the chart.
Observe the Fake Breakout: The price should break the identified level but fail to close beyond it.
Monitor Price Reversal: After the breakout, the price should quickly reverse direction.
Execute the Trade: Traders typically enter the market after confirming the SFP.
🟣 Examples
Bullish Example : Bitcoin breaks below a $30,000 support level, drops to $29,000, but closes above $30,000 by the end of the day, signaling a Real Bullish SFP.
Bearish Example : Ethereum surpasses a $2,000 resistance level, rises to $2,100, but then falls back below $2,000, forming a Bearish SFP.
🟣 Pros and Cons of SFP
Pros :
Effective in identifying strong reversal points.
Offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
Applicable across different timeframes.
Cons :
Requires experience and deep market understanding.
Risk of encountering false breakouts.
Should be combined with other technical tools for optimal effectiveness.

ICT Intraday Timeline [neo.|]ICT Intraday Timeline is a script that aims to cleanly display key times that the "Inner Circle Trader" often refers to during the day on a separate pane in your Tradingview chart. While using it, you can clearly see the time it is currently in New York time, as well as your own through Tradingview as usual, as well as relevant times such as the lunch times, Silver Bullet times, and Asian range time.
By using this indicator it is simpler to consider what every time is doing and the effect it has on your current bias, for example: you may want to look at the 8:30 am open which is where news usually comes out, if not you can use 9:30 am for formulating trades. The AM SB is a time for when the "Silver Bullet (ICT)" setup can be found and executed, as it refines a specific range and targets inefficiencies and allows liquidity to form for which it comes back for, meaning it may be a better time for you to enter a trade, these are just examples of what you can look for, and how considering time can help you come up with and refine trade ideas.
Other times which are included are the:
Asia Range: You can mark out the highs and lows which occur during this time to use as liquidity later.
Midnight Open: On equities price will often interact with the midnight opening price, meaning it is an important time to consider.
London Open SB and Premarket SB: As mentioned previously you can find the "Silver Bullet" setup in here.
NY Lunch & London Lunch: Lunch times usually mean less volume therefore you may see less probable trades at this time.
AM SB and PM SB: Once again, times where you can potentially find more probable trades.
You can also easily customize any of the colors such as the SB (Silver Bullet) times, London lunch and NY Lunch times, or the Asia range or line colors to your preference and individual chart style.
ICT Balanced Price Range [TradingFinder] BPR | FVG + IFVG🔵 Introduction
The ICT Balanced Price Range (BPR) indicator is a valuable tool that helps traders identify key areas on price charts where a balance between buyers and sellers is established. These zones can serve as critical points for potential price reversals or continuations.
🟣 Bullish Balanced Price Range
A Bullish BPR forms when a buying pressure zone (Bullish FVG) overlaps with a Bullish Inversion FVG. This overlap indicates a high probability of price moving upwards, making it a crucial area for traders to consider.
🟣 Bearish Balanced Price Range
Similarly, a Bearish BPR is created when a selling pressure zone (Bearish FVG) overlaps with a Bearish Inversion FVG. This zone is often seen as a key area where the price is likely to move downward.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Identifying the Balanced Price Range (BPR)
To identify the Balanced Price Range (BPR), you must first locate two Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the price chart. One FVG should be on the sell side, and the other on the buy side. When these two FVGs horizontally oppose each other, the area where they overlap is recognized as the Balanced Price Range (BPR).
This BPR zone is highly sensitive to price movements due to the combination of two FVGs, often leading to strong market reactions. As the price approaches this area, the likelihood of a significant market move increases, making it a prime target for professional traders.
🟣 Bullish Balanced Price Range (Bullish BPR)
To effectively trade using a Bullish BPR, begin by identifying a bullish market structure and searching for bullish Price Delivery Arrays (PD Arrays). Once the market structure shifts to bullish in a lower time frame, locate a Bullish FVG within the Discount Zone that overlaps with a Bearish FVG.
Mark this overlapping zone and wait for the price to test it before executing a buy trade. Alternatively, you can set a Buy Limit order with a stop loss below the recent swing low and target profits based on higher time frame liquidity draws.
🟣 Bearish Balanced Price Range (Bearish BPR)
For bearish trades, start by identifying a bearish market structure and look for bearish PD Arrays. After the market structure shifts to bearish in a lower time frame, identify a Bearish FVG within the Discount Zone that overlaps with a Bullish FVG. Mark this overlapping zone and execute a sell trade when the price tests it.
You can also use a Sell Limit order with a stop loss above the recent swing high and target profits according to higher time frame liquidity draws.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Global Settings

Show Bearish IFV G: Toggles the display of supply-related boxes.
Mitigation Level FVG and IFVG : Options include "Proximal", "Distal", or "50 % OB" modes, which you can choose based on your needs. The "50 % OB" line is the midpoint between distal and proximal.
🟣 Logic Settings
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filters :
Very Aggressive Filter : Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter : Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter : Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filte r: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert Inversion FVG Mitigation : Enables alerts for Inversion FVG mitigation.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
Display More Info : Provides additional details in alert messages, including price range, date, hour, and minute. Set to 'Off' to exclude this information.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Balanced Price Range is a powerful and reliable tool for identifying key points on price charts. This strategy can be applied across various time frames and serves as a complementary tool alongside other indicators and technical analysis methods.
The most crucial aspect of utilizing this strategy effectively is correctly identifying FVGs and their overlapping areas, which comes with practice and experience.
Market Structure Based Stop LossMarket Structure Based Dynamic Stop Loss
Introduction
The Market Structure Based Stop Loss indicator is a strategic tool for traders designed to be useful in both rigorous backtesting and live testing, by providing an objective, “guess-free” stop loss level. This indicator dynamically plots suggested stop loss levels based on market structure, and the concepts of “interim lows/highs.”
It provides a robust framework for managing risk in both long and short positions. By leveraging historical price movements and real time market dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify quantitatively consistent risk levels while optimizing trade returns.
Legend
This indicator utilizes various inputs to customize its functionality, including "Stop Loss Sensitivity" and "Wick Depth," which dictate how closely the stop loss levels hug the price's highs and lows. The stop loss levels are plotted as lines on the trading chart, providing clear visual cues for position management. As seen in the chart below, this indicator dynamically plots stop loss levels for both long and short positions at every point in time.
A “Stop Loss Table” is also included, in order to enhance precision trading and increase backtesting accuracy. It is customizable in both size and positioning.
Case Study
Methodology
The methodology behind this indicator focuses on the precision placement of stop losses using market structure as a guide. It calculates stop losses by identifying the "lowest close" and the corresponding "lowest low" for long setups, and inversely for short setups. By adjusting the sensitivity settings, traders can tweak the indicator's responsiveness to price changes, ensuring that the stop losses are set with a balance between tight risk control and enough room to avoid premature exits due to market noise. The indicator's ability to adapt to different trading styles and time frames makes it an essential tool for traders aiming for efficiency and effectiveness in their risk management strategies.
An important point to make is the fact that the stop loss levels are always placed within the wicks. This is important to avoid what can be described as a “floating stop loss”. A stop loss placed outside of a wick is susceptible to an outsized degree of slippage. This is because traders always cluster their stop losses at high/low wicks, and a stop loss placed outside of this level will inevitably be caught in a low liquidity cascade or “wash-out.” When price approaches a cluster of stop losses, it is highly probable that you will be stopped out anyway, so it is prudent to attempt to be the trader who gets stopped out first in order to avoid high slippage, and losses above what you originally intended.
// For long positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the lowest wick
float dynamic_SL_Long = lowestClose - (lowestClose - lowestLow) * (1 - WickDepth)
// For short positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the highest wick
float dynamic_SL_Short = highestClose + (highestHigh - highestClose) * (1 - WickDepth)
The percentage depth of the wick in which the stop loss is placed is customisable with the “Wick Depth” variable, in order to customize stop loss strategies around the liquidity of the market a trader is executing their orders in.

High & Low Of Custom Session - Breakout True Open [cognyto]This indicator is based on the High & Low Of Custom Session - OpeningRange Breakout (Expo) created by Zeiierman.
It adds new functionality and enhances existing settings, targeting ES, NQ, and YM:
Manages session defaults to 12:00 to 13:00
New true opening fully customizable (default 13:00)
Manages timeframe visualization (default 15m and below)
Manages session draw length until the end of the current session (default NY)
Manages previous sessions, allowing the to be hidden
Improves timezone selection (default NY)
Following the strategy called Paradox detailed by DayTradingRauf, it works with indices like ES, NQ, and YM.
The rules consider three possible profiles:
First
AM session as consolidation (08:00-12:00)
Lunch hour range as consolidation (less than 100 points)
PM session breaking either side of the session range
Second
AM session trending lower (08:00-12:00)
Lunch hour range as consolidation (less than 100 points)
PM session trending higher
Third
AM session trending higher (08:00-12:00)
Lunch hour range as consolidation (less than 100 points)
PM session trending lower
After the session ends, the opening price at 13:00 is automatically drawn as it is a key point for the entry strategy.
The strategy can be monitored using a 5-minute or 15-minute timeframe as follows:
- Wait for a liquidity hunt (either the high or low of the lunch session range or AM is taken).
- If liquidity is taken, switch to the 1-minute timeframe and wait for a CISD (change in the state of delivery), where the price closes below an OB, or consider a breaker block or iFVG to enter the trade.
- Bullish entries should happen below the opening price at 13:00, and bearish entries should happen above.
- Consider a 1:2 reward ratio. However, runners can target the opposite side of the range that was not yet taken.
