Multi-Timeframe SFP + SMTImportant: Please Read First
This indicator is not a "one size fits all" solution. It is a professional and complex tool that requires you to learn how to use it, in addition to backtesting different settings to discover what works best for your specific trading style and the assets you trade. The default settings provided are my personal preferences for trading higher-timeframe setups, but you are encouraged to experiment and find your own optimal configuration.
Please note that while this initial version is solid, it may still contain small errors or bugs. I will be actively working on improving the indicator over time. Also, be aware that the script is not written for maximum efficiency and may be resource-intensive, but this should not pose a problem for most users.
The source code for this indicator is open. If you truly want to understand precisely how all the logic works, you can copy and paste the code into an AI assistant like Gemini or ChatGPT and ask it to explain any part of the script to you.
Author's Preferred Settings (Guideline)
As a starting point, here are the settings I personally use for my trading:
SFP Timeframe: 4-Hour (Strength: 5-5)
Max Lookback: 35 Bars
Raid Expiration: 1 Bar
SFP Lines Limit: 1
SMT Timeframe 1: 30-Minute (Strength: 2-2) with 3-Minute LTF Detection.
SMT Timeframe 2: 15-Minute (Strength: 3-3) with 3-Minute LTF Detection.
SMT Timeframe 3: 1-Hour (Strength: 1-1) with 3-Minute LTF Detection.
SMT Timeframe 4: 15-Minute (Strength: 1-1) with 3-Minute LTF Detection.
Multi-Timeframe SMT: An Overview
This indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining two key institutional concepts: Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) on a higher timeframe and Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences on a lower timeframe. A key feature is the ability to configure and run up to four independent SMT analyses simultaneously, allowing you to monitor for divergences across multiple timeframes (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H) from a single indicator.
Its primary purpose is to generate automated signals through TradingView's alert system. By setting up alerts, the script runs server-side, monitoring the market for you. When a setup presents itself, it will send a push notification to your device, allowing you to personally evaluate the trade without being tied to your screen.
The Strategy: HTF Liquidity Sweeps into LTF SMT
The core strategy is built on a classic institutional trading model:
Wait for a liquidity sweep on a significant high timeframe (e.g., 4-hour, Daily).
Once liquidity is taken, look for a confirmation of a shift in market structure on a lower timeframe.
This indicator uses an SMT divergence as that confirmation signal, indicating that smart money may be stepping in to reverse the price.
How It Works: The Two-Step Process
The indicator's logic follows a precise two-step process to generate a signal:
Step 1: The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)
First, the indicator identifies a high-timeframe liquidity sweep. This is configured in the "Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) Timeframe" settings.
It looks for a candle that wicks above a previous high (or below a previous low) but then closes back within the range of that pivot. This action is known as a "raid" or a "swing failure," suggesting the move failed to find genuine momentum.
Step 2: The SMT Divergence
The moment a valid SFP is confirmed, the indicator's multiple SMT engines activate.
Each engine begins monitoring the specific SMT timeframe you have configured (e.g., "SMT Timeframe 1," "SMT Timeframe 2," etc.) for a Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence.
An SMT divergence occurs when two closely correlated assets fail to move in sync. For example, after a raid on a high, Asset A makes a new high, but Asset B fails to do so. This disagreement suggests weakness and a potential reversal.
When the script finds this divergence, it plots the SMT line and triggers an alert.
The Power of Alerts
The true strength of this indicator lies in its alert capabilities. You can create alerts for both unconfirmed and confirmed SMTs.
Enable Alerts LTF Detection: These alerts trigger when an unconfirmed, potential SMT is spotted on the lower "LTF Detection" timeframe. While not yet confirmed, these early alerts can notify you of a potential move before it fully happens, allowing you to be ahead of the curve and find the best possible trade entries.
Enable Alerts Confirmed SMT: These alerts trigger only when a permanent, confirmed SMT line is plotted on your chosen SMT timeframe. These signals are more reliable but occur later than the early detection alerts.
Key Concepts Explained
What is Pivot Strength?
Pivot Strength determines how significant a high or low needs to be to qualify as a valid structural point. A setting of 5-5, for example, means that for a candle's high to be considered a valid pivot high, its high must be higher than the highs of the 5 candles to its left and the 5 candles to its right.
Higher Strength (e.g., 5-5, 8-8): Creates fewer, but more significant, pivots. This is ideal for identifying major structural highs and lows on higher timeframes.
Lower Strength (e.g., 2-2, 3-3): Creates more pivots, making it suitable for identifying the smaller shifts in momentum on lower timeframes.
Raid Expiration & Validity
An SFP signal is not valid forever. The "Raid Expiration" setting determines how many SFP timeframe bars can pass after a raid before that signal is considered "stale" and can no longer be used to validate an SMT. This ensures your SMT divergences are always in response to recent liquidity sweeps.
Why You Must Be on the Right Chart Timeframe to See SMT Lines
Pine Script™ has a fundamental rule: an indicator running on a chart can only "see" the bars of that chart's timeframe or higher.
When the SMT logic is set to the 15-minute timeframe, it calculates its pivots based on 15-minute data. To accurately plot lines connecting these pivots, you must be on a 15-minute chart or lower (e.g., 5-minute, 1-minute).
If you are on a higher timeframe chart, like the 1-hour, the 15-minute bars do not exist on that chart, so the indicator has no bars to draw the lines on.
This is precisely why the alert system is so powerful. You can set your alert to run on the 15-minute timeframe, and TradingView's servers will monitor that timeframe for you, sending a notification regardless of what chart you are currently viewing.

Mig Trade Model - Kill Zones
Key features:
Liquidity Hunt Detection: Spots aggressive moves that "hunt" stops beyond recent swing highs/lows.
Consolidation Filter: Requires 1-3 small-range candles after a hunt before confirming with a strong candle.
Bias Application: Uses daily open/close to auto-detect bias or allows manual override.
Kill Zone Restriction: Limits signals to London (default: 7-10 AM UTC) and NY (default: 12-3 PM UTC) sessions for better relevance in active markets.
This strategy is inspired by smart money concepts (SMC) and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodologies, aiming to capture venom-like "stings" in price action where liquidity is grabbed before reversals.
How It Works
ATR Calculation: Uses a user-defined ATR length (default: 14) to measure volatility, which scales candle body and range thresholds.
Bias Determination:
Auto: Compares daily close to open (bullish if close > open).
Manual: User selects "Bullish" or "Bearish."
Strong Candles:
Bullish: Green candle with body > 2x ATR (configurable).
Bearish: Red candle with body > 2x ATR.
Small Range Candles:
Candles where high-low < 0.5x ATR (configurable).
Liquidity Hunt:
Bullish Hunt: Strong bearish candle making a new low below the past swing low (default: 10 bars).
Bearish Hunt: Strong bullish candle making a new high above the past swing high.
Signal Generation:
After a hunt, counts 1-3 small-range candles.
Confirms with a strong candle in the opposite direction (e.g., strong bullish after bearish hunt).
Resets if >3 small candles or an opposing strong candle appears.
Kill Zone Filter:
Checks if the current bar's time (in UTC) falls within London or NY Kill Zones.
Only allows final "Buy" (bullish entry) or "Sell" (bearish entry) if bias matches and in Kill Zone.
Plots:
Yellow circle (below): Bullish liquidity hunt.
Orange circle (above): Bearish liquidity hunt.
Blue diamond (below): Raw bullish signal.
Purple diamond (above): Raw bearish signal.
Green triangle up ("Buy"): Filtered bullish entry.
Red triangle down ("Sell"): Filtered bearish entry.
Inputs
Bias: "Auto" (default), "Bullish", or "Bearish" – Controls signal direction based on daily trend.
ATR Length: 14 (default) – Period for ATR calculation.
Swing Length for Liquidity Hunt: 10 (default) – Bars to look back for swing highs/lows.
Strong Candle Body Multiplier (x ATR): 2.0 (default) – Threshold for strong candle bodies.
Small Range Multiplier (x ATR): 0.5 (default) – Threshold for small-range candles.
London Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 7/10 (default) – Customize London session hours.
NY Kill Zone Start/End Hour (UTC): 12/15 (default) – Customize New York session hours.
Usage Tips
Timeframe: Best on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-15 min) for intraday trading, especially forex pairs like EURUSD or GBPUSD.
Timezone Adjustment: Inputs are in UTC. If your chart is in a different timezone (e.g., EST = UTC-5), adjust hours accordingly (e.g., London: 2-5 AM EST → 7-10 UTC).
Risk Management: Use with stop-loss (e.g., beyond the hunt low/high) and take-profit based on ATR multiples. Not financial advice—backtest thoroughly.
Customization: Tweak multipliers for different assets; higher for volatile cryptos, lower for stocks.
Limitations: Relies on historical data; may generate false signals in ranging markets. Combine with other indicators like volume or support/resistance.

FEDFUNDS Rate Divergence Oscillator [BackQuant]FEDFUNDS Rate Divergence Oscillator
1. Concept and Rationale
The United States Federal Funds Rate is the anchor around which global dollar liquidity and risk-free yield expectations revolve. When the Fed hikes, borrowing costs rise, liquidity tightens and most risk assets encounter head-winds. When it cuts, liquidity expands, speculative appetite often recovers. Bitcoin, a 24-hour permissionless asset sometimes described as “digital gold with venture-capital-like convexity,” is particularly sensitive to macro-liquidity swings.
The FED Divergence Oscillator quantifies the behavioural gap between short-term monetary policy (proxied by the effective Fed Funds Rate) and Bitcoin’s own percentage price change. By converting each series into identical rate-of-change units, subtracting them, then optionally smoothing the result, the script produces a single bounded-yet-dynamic line that tells you, at a glance, whether Bitcoin is outperforming or underperforming the policy backdrop—and by how much.
2. Data Pipeline
• Fed Funds Rate – Pulled directly from the FRED database via the ticker “FRED:FEDFUNDS,” sampled at daily frequency to synchronise with crypto closes.
• Bitcoin Price – By default the script forces a daily timeframe so that both series share time alignment, although you can disable that and plot the oscillator on intraday charts if you prefer.
• User Source Flexibility – The BTC series is not hard-wired; you can select any exchange-specific symbol or even swap BTC for another crypto or risk asset whose interaction with the Fed rate you wish to study.
3. Math under the Hood
(1) Rate of Change (ROC) – Both the Fed rate and BTC close are converted to percent return over a user-chosen lookback (default 30 bars). This means a cut from 5.25 percent to 5.00 percent feeds in as –4.76 percent, while a climb from 25 000 to 30 000 USD in BTC over the same window converts to +20 percent.
(2) Divergence Construction – The script subtracts the Fed ROC from the BTC ROC. Positive values show BTC appreciating faster than policy is tightening (or falling slower than the rate is cutting); negative values show the opposite.
(3) Optional Smoothing – Macro series are noisy. Toggle “Apply Smoothing” to calm the line with your preferred moving-average flavour: SMA, EMA, DEMA, TEMA, RMA, WMA or Hull. The default EMA-25 removes day-to-day whips while keeping turning points alive.
(4) Dynamic Colour Mapping – Rather than using a single hue, the oscillator line employs a gradient where deep greens represent strong bullish divergence and dark reds flag sharp bearish divergence. This heat-map approach lets you gauge intensity without squinting at numbers.
(5) Threshold Grid – Five horizontal guides create a structured regime map:
• Lower Extreme (–50 pct) and Upper Extreme (+50 pct) identify panic capitulations and euphoria blow-offs.
• Oversold (–20 pct) and Overbought (+20 pct) act as early warning alarms.
• Zero Line demarcates neutral alignment.
4. Chart Furniture and User Interface
• Oscillator fill with a secondary DEMA-30 “shader” offers depth perception: fat ribbons often precede high-volatility macro shifts.
• Optional bar-colouring paints candles green when the oscillator is above zero and red below, handy for visual correlation.
• Background tints when the line breaches extreme zones, making macro inflection weeks pop out in the replay bar.
• Everything—line width, thresholds, colours—can be customised so the indicator blends into any template.
5. Interpretation Guide
Macro Liquidity Pulse
• When the oscillator spends weeks above +20 while the Fed is still raising rates, Bitcoin is signalling liquidity tolerance or an anticipatory pivot view. That condition often marks the embryonic phase of major bull cycles (e.g., March 2020 rebound).
• Sustained prints below –20 while the Fed is already dovish indicate risk aversion or idiosyncratic crypto stress—think exchange scandals or broad flight to safety.
Regime Transition Signals
• Bullish cross through zero after a long sub-zero stint shows Bitcoin regaining upward escape velocity versus policy.
• Bearish cross under zero during a hiking cycle tells you monetary tightening has finally started to bite.
Momentum Exhaustion and Mean-Reversion
• Touches of +50 (or –50) come rarely; they are statistically stretched events. Fade strategies either taking profits or hedging have historically enjoyed positive expectancy.
• Inside-bar candlestick patterns or lower-timeframe bearish engulfings simultaneously with an extreme overbought print make high-probability short scalp setups, especially near weekly resistance. The same logic mirrors for oversold.
Pair Trading / Relative Value
• Combine the oscillator with spreads like BTC versus Nasdaq 100. When both the FED Divergence oscillator and the BTC–NDQ relative-strength line roll south together, the cross-asset confirmation amplifies conviction in a mean-reversion short.
• Swap BTC for miners, altcoins or high-beta equities to test who is the divergence leader.
Event-Driven Tactics
• FOMC days: plot the oscillator on an hourly chart (disable ‘Force Daily TF’). Watch for micro-structural spikes that resolve in the first hour after the statement; rapid flips across zero can front-run post-FOMC swings.
• CPI and NFP prints: extremes reached into the release often mean positioning is one-sided. A reversion toward neutral in the first 24 hours is common.
6. Alerts Suite
Pre-bundled conditions let you automate workflows:
• Bullish / Bearish zero crosses – queue spot or futures entries.
• Standard OB / OS – notify for first contact with actionable zones.
• Extreme OB / OS – prime time to review hedges, take profits or build contrarian swing positions.
7. Parameter Playground
• Shorten ROC Lookback to 14 for tactical traders; lengthen to 90 for macro investors.
• Raise extreme thresholds (for example ±80) when plotting on altcoins that exhibit higher volatility than BTC.
• Try HMA smoothing for responsive yet smooth curves on intraday charts.
• Colour-blind users can easily swap bull and bear palette selections for preferred contrasts.
8. Limitations and Best Practices
• The Fed Funds series is step-wise; it only changes on meeting days. Rapid BTC oscillations in between may dominate the calculation. Keep that perspective when interpreting very high-frequency signals.
• Divergence does not equal causation. Crypto-native catalysts (ETF approvals, hack headlines) can overwhelm macro links temporarily.
• Use in conjunction with classical confirmation tools—order-flow footprints, market-profile ledges, or simple price action to avoid “pure-indicator” traps.
9. Final Thoughts
The FEDFUNDS Rate Divergence Oscillator distills an entire macro narrative monetary policy versus risk sentiment into a single colourful heartbeat. It will not magically predict every pivot, yet it excels at framing market context, spotting stretches and timing regime changes. Treat it as a strategic compass rather than a tactical sniper scope, combine it with sound risk management and multi-factor confirmation, and you will possess a robust edge anchored in the world’s most influential interest-rate benchmark.
Trade consciously, stay adaptive, and let the policy-price tension guide your roadmap.
HGDA – Wave Target 🔹 HGDA – Wave Target
Precision Wave Projections + Liquidity-Confirmed Alerts
📌 Overview:
This indicator automatically detects confirmed price waves and projects smart Fibonacci-based targets for both reversals and breakouts.
It’s powered by a multi-layered logic that combines:
Pivot-based wave detection
MA30 trend confirmation
Live buy/sell pressure analysis
Ratio-based price projection
And visual + table alerts only when all conditions are aligned.
The result is a clean, noise-free system that highlights only high-probability price targets — after real confirmation.
⚙️ Core Logic:
Wave Detection
The indicator waits for a valid swing high or low to form (using pivots).
Once confirmed, it tracks the most recent directional wave.
Trend Filter (MA30)
Only waves in the direction of the 30-period Moving Average are considered valid.
E.g. Bullish wave must be above MA30, bearish wave below.
Liquidity Confirmation
An internal smart flow engine measures real-time buy/sell pressure.
The wave direction must match liquidity dominance to be valid.
Target Calculation
For reversal scenarios: the wave is projected in the opposite direction.
For breakout scenarios: the wave is extended in the same direction.
Target levels include: 1.236 – 1.5 – 1.618
Smart Alerts
Visual alerts are displayed only when trend + liquidity + ratios align.
No signals are shown during weak, unclear, or conflicting phases.
💡 How to Use:
✅ Step 1: Switch to the 1H chart for optimal balance between structure and signal reliability (works also on 30m–4H).
✅ Step 2: Wait for a new wave to appear with valid trend direction (check the trend row in the table).
✅ Step 3: Confirm that buy/sell pressure supports the wave.
✅ Step 4: Observe the projected targets on the chart (1.236 / 1.5 / 1.618).
✅ Step 5: Plan entry around the first ratio zone with stop loss behind the wave base.
✅ Step 6: Use alerts to act on opportunities when all layers align.

EURUSD Kill Zone [Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital]EUR/USD Kil Zone
Core Logic: Navigating the New‑York Kill‑Zone
The EUR/USD Killzone is designed to exploit repeatable patterns that occur during the overlap of the London and New‑York trading sessions. Research shows that the New‑York “kill zone”—roughly 07:00–09:00 EST—produces the most dramatic moves in EUR‑ and USD‑linked currency pairs
During this window, large institutions often sweep out liquidity resting above or below the Asian and early‑London session extremes , triggering sharp reversals before a new intraday trend emerges. This is in contrast to the single pre-market sweeps occuring for GOLD/
This modeul uses ICT/Smart Money Concepts to read these patterns and waits for three confirmations before signalling a trade:
Liquidity Sweep & Rejection. Price must spike beyond the combined Asian and early‑London range and then reject that area (a sharp wick and opposite‑coloured candle), signalling that stops have been cleared. The module defines the Asian range from 00:00–05:00 EST and the London range from 02:00–05:00 EST, following the guideline that overlapping sessions produce the greatest volatility
Market Structure Break. It then waits for the 5‑minute price to close beyond the most recent swing high/low (pivot), confirming that a genuine shift in order flow has occurred rather than a simple stop‑run.
Fair‑Value‑Gap (FVG) Re‑Test. Upon the break, the script records the high and low of that 5‑minute “displacement” candle and defines a fair‑value gap—the imbalance between buyers and sellers. Rather than entering immediately, it sets a virtual limit order at the 50 % level of this gap. A trade is only triggered once price retraces to this mid‑point, providing a high‑probability, high‑reward entry.
These three filters help avoid common pitfalls when trading kill zones, such as false breakouts and news‑driven whipsaws. The indicator also monitors higher‑timeframe bias (4‑hour and daily charts) using 50‑ and 200‑period moving averages to gauge whether the intraday signal aligns with the broader trend.
Feature Set
The indicator provides a suite of visual and analytical tools to support disciplined trading:
Session Range Mapping: automatically draws the Asian (00:00–05:00 EST) and London (02:00–05:00 EST) session highs and lows, making it easy to see when price sweeps these levels.
Kill‑Zone Monitoring: a built‑in timer isolates the 07:30–09:00 EST window and limits the indicator to one trade per session to avoid over‑trading.
Pivot‑Break Detection: uses 5‑minute swing highs/lows to confirm that order flow has shifted before looking for entries.
Fair‑Value‑Gap Re‑test: defines an FVG from the displacement candle and waits for a 50 % retrace before triggering a signal. This improves risk‑to‑reward by entering at a discount (for longs) or premium (for shorts).
Higher‑Timeframe Dashboard: displays bullish/bearish/neutral biases on the 4‑hour and daily charts, plus a confidence rating (0–2) indicating how many of these timeframes agree with the signal direction.
Alerts: optional alerts can be configured for buy‑only, sell‑only or either‑direction signals.
Best Practices for Use
Align with Major Volatility Windows. The indicator is most effective during the New‑York kill zone. Avoid trading outside this window, and be aware of high‑impact news (e.g., FOMC announcements) that can distort price action
Check Higher‑Timeframe Bias. Use the dashboard to ensure the intraday signal aligns with the 4‑hour and daily trends. For instance, a long signal that aligns with a bullish daily bias carries higher conviction than one going against it.
Manage Risk Responsibly. Even with multiple filters, no strategy is foolproof. Use stop‑loss orders just beyond the liquidity sweep and size positions appropriately.
Combine with Fundamental Awareness. Check your economic calendar for European and U.S. data releases. If an important release occurs during the kill zone, consider standing aside or reducing risk.
Back‑test and Forward‑Test. Always validate the strategy across different market conditions and broker feeds. Pay attention to how spreads, volatility and news events influence the indicator.
Use as Part of a Toolkit. Consider combining the indicator with other confirmation tools such as momentum oscillators, volume analysis or price‑action patterns to refine entries further. Smart‑Money Concepts often use confluence, not a single signal.
What's in It for You?
The EUR/USD Liquidity Sweep Indicator distils institutional concepts—liquidity hunts, market‑structure shifts and fair‑value gaps—into an intuitive, automated tool. By waiting for a retrace into the displacement candle’s imbalance, it helps capture trades where risk‑to‑reward is skewed strongly in your favour. The dashboard encourages you to trade with the higher‑timeframe trend, and built‑in alerts ensure you never miss an opportunity.
In volatile kill‑zone environments, discipline and patience are vital. This indicator enforces both: it tracks session ranges, confirms structure, waits for a retrace, and triggers only when multiple conditions align. Coupled with sound risk management and your own judgement, it can become a cornerstone of a high‑probability trading plan.
Always remember that markets evolve. Continue to refine the indicator and your strategy as you gather more experience and data. The learning journey never ends, but this tool is designed to accelerate it.

AQPRO Block Force
📝 INTRODUCTION
AQPRO Block Force is a powerful trading tool designed to identify and track Orderblocks (OBs) in real-time based on Fair Value Gap (FVG) principles. This indicator employs quite strict yet effective FVG filtering criteria to ensure only significant OBs are displayed, avoiding minor inefficiencies or duplicates within the same impulse or corrective moves. Each OB adapts dynamically to price action and can be categorized as Classic, Strong, or Extreme, based on proprietary conditions and best ideas from SMC (Smart Money Concepts).
In addition to plotting Orderblocks, the indicator offers useful filtering systems like an Age Filter to ensure cleanliness of the OB data on the chart and prevent old, irrelevant OBs from obstructing the chart. Users can also enable MTF (Multi-Timeframe) functionality to view OBs from other timeframes, providing a comprehensive analysis across multiple levels of market structure. With extensive customization options, AQPRO Block Force allows traders to tailor the visuals and behavior to fit their specific trading preferences.
This indicator does not parse any instituotinal data, order books and other fancy financial sources for finding order blocks nor it uses them for confirmation purposes. Calculations algorithms of order blocks are based purely on current asset's price history.
IMPORTANT NOTE: in the sections below term 'quality' will be applied to orderblocks quite a number of times. By 'quality' in the context of orderblocks we mean the reaction of price upon the sweep of orderblock. Basically, if the price reverses after reaching the orderblock, this orderblock is considered to be of high quality. Definition for low -quality orderblock can be deducted by analogy.
🎯 PURPOSE OF USAGE
This indicator serves one and only purpose — help traders identify most lucrative institutional orderblocks on the chart in real time. Even though event of price reaching an orderblock cannot be considered as a sole signal in many trading strategies without proper confirmation, such event nevertheless is quite important in SMC-based trading, because when price sweeps OB it usually means, that a reversal will soon follow, but, of course, this is not the case every time.
Traders should not expect from this indicator detection of perfect orderblocks, which would surely revese the price on encounter, but they can expect is a time-proven algorithm of determing orderblocks that on average produces more high-quality orderblocks than simple similar tools from open-source libraries.
More in-depth advices on the usage will be given in the sections below, but for now let's summarise subgoals of the indicator:
Detecting orderblocks filtered through strict FVG validation rules to improve overall quality of orderblocks;
Classifying orderblocks as Classic, Strong, or Extreme based on wether or not classic orderblocks pass filtering conditions, which are based on crossing critical price levels and SMC principles like ChoCh (Change of Character);
Eliminating clutter and manage chart space with the Age Filter, removing old OBs outside a user-defined age range;
Utilizing MTF functionality to track significant OBs from other timeframes alongside current timeframe analysis;
Providing traders with customization options for indicator's visuals to help them organize information on the chart in a clean way.

📈 APPLICATION GUIDE
Application methodology of this indicator is pretty much the same as with any other indicator, whose purpose is to find and display orderblocks on the chart. However, before actually diving into the guide on application, we want to make a small step back to remind traders of the history of orderblocks as a concept, its limitations and benefits.
Orderblocks themselves are essentially just zones of potential institutional interest, which if reached are expected to reverse the price in the opposite direction. 'Potential' is a suitable remark for indicator's success probability, because, as was mentioned above, orderblocks don't guarantee price reversal regardless of quality of the indicator. This is the case for the simplest of reasons — orderblocks are based solely on price history and thus are to be considered a mathematical model , degree of success of which is never 100%, because all mathematical models abide by a "golden rule of trading" : past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
However, the extensive history of orderblocks clearly shows that this tool, despite being decades old, can still help traders produce market insights and improve any strategy's performance. Orderblocks can be used both as a primary source of signals and as confirmation tool, but from our experience they are better to be used as confirmation tool. Our indicator is not an exception in this matter and we advice any trader to use it mainly for confirmation purposes, because use-case of orderblocks as confirmation tools have much success stories on average than being used as primary signal source.
This being said, let's return to the application guide and start reviewing the indicator from the most basic step — how it will look like when you first load it on your chart:
This indicator consisis of 3 main logic blocks:
Orderblock evaluation;
MTF Orderblock evaluation;
Orderblock post-filtering.
The principles behind these logic blocks will be easy to understand for truly experiences traders, but we understand the need to explain them to a wider audience, so let's review each of these logic blocks below.
ORDERBLOCK EVALUATION
Principles behind our orderblock detection logic are as follows:
Find FVG (Fair Value Gap) .
Note: this indicator uses only three-candle FVGs and doesn't track FVGs with insidebars after third (farther) candle.
If you don't know what FVG means, we recommend researching this term in the Internet, but the basic explanation is this: FVG is the formation of candles, which are positioned in a way that there are an unclosed price area between 1st and 3rd candle.
Conditions:
bullish FVG = high of 3rd candle < low of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle < close of 2nd candle AND high of 2nd candle < close of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle < low of 2nd candle ;
bearish FVG = low of 3rd candle < high of 1st candle AND low of 3rd candle > close of 2nd candle AND low of 2nd candle > close of 1st candle AND high of 3rd candle > high of 2nd candle .
See visual showcase of valid & invalid bullish & bearish FVGs on the screenshot below:
As was shown on the screenshot above, the only correc t formation for FVGs are considered to be just like on pictures 1 and 2 (leftmost column of patterns) . Only these formations will take part in further determenings orderblocks.
Send FVGs through filtering conditions.
This is the truly important part. Without properly filtering FVGs we would get huge clusters of FVGs on the chart and they will not make sense to be reviewed, because there will be just too much of them and their quality will be very questionable .
Even though there is a quite number of ways to filter FVGs, we decided to go with the ones we deem actually useful. For this indicator we chose two methods, that work in tandem — 1) base candle's inside bar condition and 2) single appearance on current impulse/correction line. Let's review these conditions below and start with looking at the examples of them on the screenshot below:
Examples of 1st & 2nd conditions are displayed on the left and right charts respectively.
The filtering logic in 1st and 2nd is quite connected and further explanation should help you understand it just enough to start trading with our indicator.
Let's start with explaining the term 'base candle' and logic behind it. Base candle candle be explained quite shortly: it is the latest candle on the chart, whose high or low broke previous base candle's high or low respectively. The first candle in the time series of price data is by default considered the base candle. If any new candle after base candle doesn't overtake base candle's high or low (meaning, that this candle is inside the range of base candle), such candle is called an "inside bar" .
Inside bar's term is important to understand, because FVGs, which appear inside the inside bars are usually quite useless, because price doesn't react from them, so orderblocks with such FVGs are also of bad quality as well. Clear depiction of inside bar was provided in the screenshot of conditions above on the left chart, so we won't waste time making another example.
However, this is not it. Base candle, inside bars and a few other types of bars are all a part of SMC ideas and in the world of SMC there is a special term, that hold the most important place and is considered the cornerstone of SMC methodology — impulse/correction lines (valid pullbacks) . The average definition of impulse/correction lines is quite hard to understand for an average trader, but we can summarise like this:
Impulse/correction line is a line, that starts at the beginning of the sequence of base candles, each new candle of which consistently updates previous base candle's respective high/low.
We won't go into description of this principle because it is outside of scope of this indicator, but you can research this topic in the Internet by keywords ' impulse correction trading ' or 'valid pullback principles trading '. The general idea of usage of impulse/correction lines in the context of this indicator is that each such lines 'holds' inside at least one FVG and we need to find exactly the first FVG, while leaving all other FVGs behind, because they to be of worse quality on average.
Basically, by using translating these terms into conditions from example above, we have achieved a simple yet powerful filtering system. system for FVGs, which allows us to work with orderblocks of much higher quality than average open-source indicators.
If FVG passed filters, evaluate its OB.
When FVG is confirmed, we can start the evaluation of its orderblock. The evaluation of orderblocks consists of several checkpoints: 1) is orderblock beyond current ChoCh* AND/OR 2) is orderblock from extreme price levels, calculated by our proprietary risk system. Let's review these checkpoints below.
* ChoCh (Change of Character, fundamental SMC idea) — price level, which if broken by close of price can potentially cause a revesal of the trend to direction opposite to the the previous one. To learn more about ChoCh please research the term on the Internet, because this indicator uses its standard definition and explaining of this term goes beyond the scope of this indicator.
To determine if orderblock is beyond current ChoCh levels, we need to first determine where these levels are on the chart. ChoCh levels of this indicator are calculated with a very lite approach, which is based on pivot points.
You can see basic demonstration of ChoCh levels in action on the screenshot below:
IMPORTANT NOTE: pivot period for pivots points inside our indicator is by default equal to 5 and cannot be changed in settings at the moment of publication.
On the screenshot above you can clearly see that ChoCh levels are essentially highest/lowest pivot point levels in between certain range of bars, where price doesn't update its extremum. You can see on there screenshot a new type of line — BoS (Break of Structure). BoS is almost the same thing as ChoCh, but with one change: it is a confirmation of price updating its extremum in the same direction as it was before, while ChoCh updates price extremum in the direction opposite to which it was before .
Why do these levels matter when evaluating the orderblocks? Orderblocks, which are located beyond current BoS/ChoCh levels, are of much higher quality on average than average orderblocks and they are called Strong Orderblocks .
On the chart such orderblocks are marked with 'Strong OB' label inside the body of an orderblock.
You can see the examples of Strong OBs on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 1st orderblock evaluation criteria. Now let's talk about the 2nd one.
Our 2nd evaluation criteria for orderblocks is a test on whether or price is behind specific price level, which is calculated by our proprietary risk system, which is based on fundamental of statistics, such as 'standard deviation' and etc.
This criteria allows us to catch orderblocks, which are located at quite extreme price levels, and mark them on trader's chart explicitly. Orderblocks, which are above our custom price levels, are called Extreme Orderblocks an are marked with 'Extreme OB' label inside orderblock's body.
You can see the example of Extreme OB on the screenshot below:
That was the explanation of the 2nd evaluation criteria of the orderblock.
If an orderblock doesn't pass any of these two criterias, it is considered a classic orderblock. These orderblock are most common ones and have the lowest success rate among other types of orderblocks, listed above. Such orderblocks are marked with 'OB' label inside the orderblock's body.
You can see the examples of classic OB on the screenshot below:
This is it for orderblock evaluation logic. After doing all these steps, all orderblocks that we found are collected and displayed on the chart with their bodies and label marks.
What happens after the detection of the orderblocks?
All active orderblocks are being tracked in real time and their statuses are being updated as well (Strong orderblock can become Extreme orderblock and vice versa) . By an active orderblock we mean an orderblock, which wasn't swept by price's high or low. Bodies of active orderblocks are prolonged to the next candle on each new candle.
If an orderblock was swept, indicator will stop prolonging this orderblock and will mark it as swept on the chart with almost hollow body and dashed border line of the orderblock's body. Also swept orderblocks lose their name label, so you won't see any text in the orderblock after it was swept, but you will see its colour.
You can see the example of an active & swept orderblocks on the screenshot below:
This functionality helps distinguish active orderblocks from swept ones (inactive) and make more informed decisions.
MTF OB EVALUATION
Principles of MTF OBs evaluation are exactly the same as they are for current timeframe's OBs.
MTF OBs are displayed on the chart in same way as other OBs, but with one little change: to the right side of MTF OB's status will be postfix of the timeframe, from which this OB came from. Timeframe for MTF OBs can be chosen by user in the settings of the indicator.
MTF OBs also preserve their statuses (Strong, Extreme and Classic) when displayed on the current timeframe, so you won't stack of mistakenly marked MTF OBs as Extreme just because they are far away from the price.
You can see the example of MTF OBs on the screenshot below:
Also MTF OBs when swept lose only their name label, but the timeframe postfix will still be there, so you could distinguish MTF OBs from OBs of the current timeframe.
See the example of swept MTF OBs below:
Overall MTF orderblocks is a very useful to get a sense of where the higher timeframe liquidity reside and then adjust your strategy accordingly. Taking your trades from the place of high liquidity, like orderblocks, doesn't guarantee certain solid price reaction, but it definitely provides a trader with much a greater change of 1) catching a decent price move 2) not losing money white trading against institutional players.
As was stated above, we recommend using this tool as a confirmation system for your main trading strategy, because its usage as primary source of signals in the long-run is not viable, judging from historical backtest results and general public opinions of traders.
ORDERBLOCK POST-FILTERING
To enhance filtering capabilities of this indicator even further, we decided to add two filters, which would help reduce the amount of bad and untradeable orderblocks. These two filters are 1) age filter and 2) cancellation filter. Let's review both of them below.
Talking about the age filter , this filter was designed to help get rid of old orderblocks, which clutter the chart with visual noise and make it harder to find valueable orderblocks. This filter has to parameters: min age and max age . What does age mean in the context of an orderblock? It is the distance between OB's left border's bar and current bar. If this distance is between min age and max age values, such orderblock is considered valid and age filter passes it for further evaluation, but this distance is too short or too long, age filter deletes this orderblock from the chart.
You can the example of an orderblock which didn't pass age filter requirements and was deleted from the chart on the screenshot below:
It is important to mention that the missing orderblock from the right chart will be appear on the chart right when its age will exceed min age parameter of age filter.
The principle of work for max age parameter can be deducted by analogy: if the orderblock's age in bigger than max age value of age filter, this orderblock will be deleted from the chart .
For MTF OBs we decided to their own age filter, so that it won't abide by current timeframe's restrictions, because MTF OBs are usually much older than OB from current timeframe, so they would deleted a lot of time before they even appear on the chart, if they would abide by the age filter of current timeframe.
Default parameters of age filter are "max age = 500" and "min age = 0" . "Min age = 0" means that there is restrictions on the minimum age of orderblocks and they will appear on the chart as soon as the indicator validates them.
That was the explanation of the age filter.
Talking about the cancellation filter , this filter was intended to spot orderblocks which were extremely untradable and visually alert traders about them on the chart. In this indicator this filter works like this: for each orderblock cancellation filter creates a special price level and checks if it was broken by the close of price.
This special price level consists of the farthest border. of the orderblock ( top border for bearish OBs and bottom border for bullish OBs) and a certain threshold, which is added to the farthest border. This threshold is based on the current ATR value of the asset. This filter helps detect the orderblocks which should not be considered for trading, because price has already went too far beyond the liquidity of this orderblock.
Orderblocks, which are spotted by this filter, are marked with '❌' emoji on the price history.
You can see the example of an orderblock which was spotted by the cancellation filter in the screenshot below:
This filter is applied to both current timeframe and MTF timeframe and is NOT configurable in the settings.
🔔 ALERTS
This indicator employs alerts for an event when new signal occurs on the current timeframe or on MTF timeframe. While creating the alert below 'Condition' field choose 'any alert() function call'.
When this alert is triggered, it will generate this kind of message:
// Alerts for current timeframe
string msg_template = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish OB at 170000.00 was reached."
// Alerts for MTF timeframe
string msg_template_mtf = "EXCHANGE:ASSET, TIMEFRAME: BULLISH_OR_BEARISH MTF OB at SWEPT_OB_BORDER_PRICE was reached."
string msg_example_mtf = "BINANCE:BTCUSDT, 15m: bearish MTF OB at 170000.00 was reached."
📌 NOTES
These OBs work on any timeframe, but we would advise to to use on higher timeframes, starting from at least 15m, because liquidity from higher timeframe tends to be much valuable when deciding which orderblock to take for a trade;
Use these OBs as a confirmation tool for your main strategy and refrain from using them as primary signal source. Traders, which use SMC-based strategies, will benefit from these orderblocks the most;
We recommend trading only with Strong and Extreme orderblocks, because they are proved to be of much greater quality than classic orderblocks and they work quite well in mid-term and long-term trading strategies. Classic orderblocs can be used for short-term trading strategies, but even in this case these OBs cannot be blindly trusted;
We strongly advise against take for a trading orderblocks, which were spotted by cancellation filter, because they are considered to be voided of liquidity;
Don't forget that you can toggle different types of OBs, MTF settings and visual settings in the settings of the indicator and fine-tune them to your liking.
🏁 AFTERWORD
AQPRO Block Force is an indicator which designed with idea of helping trading save time on automatically detecting valuable orderblocks on the chart, evaluate their strength and filter out bad orderblocks. These employ the best principles of SMC, including FVGs, valid pullbacks and etc. FVGs play the key role in validating the existence of a particular orderblock and work in tandem with valid pullback to determine the maximum amount of true FVGs even in the most cluttered impulse/correction moves of the price. Our filters — Age Filter and Cancellation Filter — enhance the quality of the orderblocks by allowing only the newest and liquid orderblocks to appear on the chart. Additional MTF functionality allow trader to see orderblocks from other timeframe, which can be chosen in the settings, and get a sense of where the global liquidity resides. This indicator will be a useful confirmation tool to any trading strategy, but the SMC traders will surely get the most benefits out of it.

CRT Finder (WanHakimFX)📈 Liquidity Grab Indicator with MTF Confluence & Alerts
🔍 Overview:
The Liquidity Grab Indicator is designed to detect precise moments when price sweeps liquidity — either by wicking below recent lows (bullish LQH) or above recent highs (bearish LQL) — followed by a clear rejection. It combines this logic with multi-timeframe confirmation and trend filters, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability reversal setups.
⚙️ How It Works:
✅ Liquidity Sweep Logic (LQH / LQL)
Bullish (LQH):
Current candle wicks below the previous low
Closes above the previous candle body
Confirms potential bullish reversal
Bearish (LQL):
Current candle wicks above the previous high
Closes below the previous candle body
Confirms potential bearish reversal
✅ Additional Conditions:
Must occur during London or New York sessions.
Requires trend confluence:
LQH = Price must be above SMMA 60/100/200
LQL = Price must be below SMMA 60/100/200
🧠 Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
The indicator scans for LQH/LQL sweeps across:
Daily
4H
1H
30M
15M
If a sweep occurs on any of these timeframes, an alert is triggered and a triangle marker appears on the chart for real-time visual confluence.
📊 Visual Features:
Green/Red labels for active timeframe sweeps.
Dotted wick lines to show liquidity zones from the previous candle.
Colored triangle markers for MTF sweep alerts.
🛠 Strategy Usage:
This indicator is best used as a trigger tool in a confluence-based strategy:
Use higher-timeframe MTF LQH/LQL markers for directional bias.
Wait for matching sweep on your entry timeframe (e.g., M1/M5).
Enter on confirmation candle or break of structure.
Target imbalances, FVGs, or previous highs/lows.
Risk-managed entries using sweep candle's high/low as stop.
📢 Alerts:
✅ Bullish Sweep (LQH) on any timeframe
✅ Bearish Sweep (LQL) on any timeframe
Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL) [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects and visualizes Equal High (EQH) and Equal Low (EQL) zones—key liquidity areas where price has previously stalled or reversed. These levels often attract institutional interest due to the liquidity buildup around them. The indicator is built to highlight such zones using dynamic thresholding, overbought/oversold RSI filtering, and adaptive mitigation logic to manage zone relevance over time.
CONCEPTS
Equal Highs/Lows are price points where the market has repeatedly failed to break past a certain high or low, hinting at areas where stop orders and pending interest may be concentrated. These areas are often prime targets for liquidity grabs or reversals. By combining this with RSI filtering, the script avoids false signals during neutral conditions and instead focuses on zones where market pressure is more directional.
FEATURES
Detection Logic: The script identifies EQH and EQL zones by comparing the similarity between recent highs or lows with a dynamic volatility threshold. The `tolerance` input allows users to control how strict this comparison is.
RSI Filtering: If enabled, it only creates zones when RSI is significantly overbought or oversold (based on the `state_thresh` input). This helps ensure zones form only in meaningful market conditions.
Zone Display: Bullish (EQL) zones are shown in grey, while bearish (EQH) zones are in blue. Two horizontal lines mark the zone using wick and body extremes, and a filled area visualizes the zone between them.
Zone Management: Zones automatically extend with price until they’re invalidated. You can choose whether a zone is removed based on wick or body sweeps and whether it requires one or two candle confirmations. Zones also expire after a customizable number of bars.
Alerts: Four alert conditions are built in—when a new EQH/EQL is formed and when one is mitigated—making it easy to integrate into alert-based workflows.
USAGE
Equal highs/lows can be used as liquidity markers, either as entry points or as take-profit targets.
This tool is ideal for liquidity-based strategies and helps traders map out possible reversal or sweep zones that often precede aggressive moves.
Nyx-AI Market Intelligence DashboardNyx AI Market Intelligence Dashboard is a non-signal-based environmental analysis tool that provides real-time insight into short-term market behavior. It is designed to help traders understand the quality of current price action, volume dynamics, volatility conditions, and structural behavior. It informs the trader whether the current market environment is supportive or hostile to trading and whether any active signal (from other tools) should be trusted, filtered, or avoided altogether.
Nyx is composed of seven intelligent modules. Each module operates independently but is visually unified through a floating dashboard panel on the chart. This panel renders live diagnostics every few bars, maintaining a low visual footprint without drawing overlays or modifying price.
Market Posture Engine
This module reads individual candlesticks using real-time candle anatomy to interpret directional bias and sentiment. It examines body-to-range ratio, wick imbalances, and compares them to prior bars. If the current candle is a large momentum body with minimal wick, it is interpreted as a directional thrust. If it is a small body with equal wicks, it is considered indecision. Engulfing patterns are used to detect potential liquidity tests. The system outputs a plain-text posture signal such as Building Bullish Intent, Bearish Momentum, Indecision Zone, Testing Liquidity (Up or Down), or Neutral.
Flow Reversal Engine
This module monitors short-term structural shifts and volume contraction to detect early signs of reversal or exhaustion. It looks for lower highs or higher lows paired with weakening volume and closing behavior that implies loss of momentum. It also monitors divergence between price and volume, as well as bar-to-bar momentum stalls (where highs and lows stop expanding). When these conditions are met, it outputs one of several states including Top Forming, Bottom Forming, Flow Divergence, Momentum Stall, or Neutral. This is useful for detecting inflection points before they manifest on trend indicators.
Fractal Context Engine
This engine compares the current bar’s range to its surrounding structural context. It uses a dynamic lookback length based on volatility. It determines whether the market is in expansion (strong directional trend), compression (shrinking range), or a transitional phase. A special case called Flip In Progress is triggered when the current high and low exceed the entire recent range, which often precedes sharp reversals or volatility expansion. The result is one of the following: Trend Expansion, Trend Breakdown, Sideways or Coil, Flip In Progress, or Expansion to Coil.
Candle Behavior Analyzer
This module analyzes the last five candles as a set to detect behavioral traits that a single candle may not reveal. It calculates average body and wick size, and counts how many recent candles show thrust (large body dominance), trap behavior (price returns inside wicks), or weakness (small bodies with high wick ratios). The module outputs one of the following behaviors: Aggressive Buying, Aggressive Selling, Trap Pattern, Trap During Coil, Low Participation, Low Energy, or Fakeout Candle. This helps the trader assess sentiment quality and the reliability of price movement.
Volatility Forecast and Compression Memory
This module predicts whether a breakout is likely based on recent compression behavior. It tracks how many of the last 10 bars had significantly reduced range compared to average. If a certain threshold is met without any recent large expansion bar, the system forecasts that a volatility expansion is likely in the near future. It also records how many bars ago the last high volatility impulse occurred and classifies whether current conditions are compressing. The outputs are Expansion Likely, Active Compression, and Last Burst memory, which provide breakout timing and energy insights.
Entry Filter
This module scores the current bar based on four adaptive criteria: body size relative to range, volume strength relative to average, current volatility versus historical volatility, and price position relative to a 20-period moving average. Each factor is scored as either 1 or 2. The total score is adjusted by a behavioral modifier that adds or subtracts a point if recent candles show aggression or trap behavior. Final scores range from 4 to 8 and are classified into Optimal, Mixed, or Avoid categories. This module is not a trade signal. It is a confluence filter that evaluates whether conditions are favorable for entry. It is particularly effective when layered with other indicators to improve precision.
Liquidity Intent Engine
This engine checks for price behavior around recent swing highs and lows. It uses adaptive pivots based on volatility to determine if price has swept above a recent high or below a recent low. This behavior is often associated with institutional liquidity hunts. If a sweep is detected and price has moved away from the sweep level, the engine infers directional intent and compares current distance to the high and low to determine which liquidity pool is more dominant. The output is Magnet Above, Magnet Below, or Conflict Zone. This is useful for anticipating directional bias driven by smart money activity.
Sticky Memory Tracking
To avoid flickering between states on low volatility or noisy price action, Nyx includes a sticky memory system. Each module’s output is preserved until a meaningful change is detected. For example, if Market Posture is Neutral and remains so for several bars, the previous non-neutral value is retained. This makes the dashboard more stable and easier to interpret without misleading noise.
Dashboard Rendering
All module outputs are displayed in a clean two-column panel anchored to any corner of the chart. Text values are color-coded, tooltips are added for context, and the data refreshes every few bars to maintain speed. The dashboard avoids clutter and blends seamlessly with other chart tools.
This tool is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It does not provide financial advice or trading signals. Nyx analyzes price, volume, structure, and volatility to offer context about the current market environment. It is not designed to predict future price movements or guarantee profitable outcomes. Traders should always use independent judgment and risk management. Past performance of any analysis logic does not guarantee future results.
Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
