FVG 9:31–10:00 AM ETFVG 9:31–10:00 AM ET - Script Description
What This Script Does
This indicator finds **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** that form during the first 29 minutes of the U.S. stock market (9:31 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time). A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance where there's a gap between candles that often becomes an important support or resistance level.
Key Features:
- **Time Window**: Only looks for FVGs between 9:31-10:00 AM ET (most important opening period)
- **One Per Day**: Finds only the first FVG that forms in this time window each day
- **Visual Display**: Draws a purple box around the gap with a clear "FVG" label
- **Price Tracking**: Monitors when price comes back to test the gap level
- **Alert System**: Sends notifications when price returns to the FVG zone
How FVGs Are Detected:
- **Bullish FVG**: When there's a gap up (low of middle candle is above high of 3rd candle back)
- **Bearish FVG**: When there's a gap down (high of middle candle is below low of 3rd candle back)
The 9:31-10:00 AM window is chosen because this is when institutions and algorithms create their biggest price moves right after market open, making these gaps very reliable.
Customization Options
User Settings
Extend FVG Box (Bars)
- **What it does**: Makes the purple box longer to the right
- **Default**: 0 (box ends right after the gap forms)
- **Options**: Any number from 0 to 100+
- **When to use**:
- Keep at 0 for clean historical view
- Set to 10-20 to track the gap during the current session
- Set higher for longer reference
Code Settings (Can Be Changed)
Time Window
- **Start**: 9:31 AM Eastern Time
- **End**: 10:00 AM Eastern Time
- **Can modify**: Change the hour/minute numbers in the code
Visual Style
- **Color**: Purple with see-through background
- **Label**: Shows "FVG" text in white
- **Can modify**: Change colors and transparency in the code
How to Use:
Setup
Chart Settings
1. Use 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts (works best on these timeframes)
2. Apply to liquid markets like ES, NQ, major stocks, or forex pairs
3. Set the "Extend FVG Box" to your preference (start with 0 or 10)
What You'll See
- A purple box appears when an FVG forms during 9:31-10:00 AM
- Box shows the exact price levels of the gap
- "FVG" label appears on the box
- Only one FVG per day will be marked
Trading Strategies
Basic FVG Trading
1. **Wait for Formation**: Let the purple box appear during 9:31-10:00 AM
2. **Watch Price Movement**: See if price moves away from the gap
3. **Enter on Retest**: When price comes back to the purple box area, consider entering
4. **Trade Direction**:
- Bullish FVG = look for long opportunities when price retests
- Bearish FVG = look for short opportunities when price retests
Entry Methods
- **Bounce Play**: Enter when price touches the FVG box and bounces away
- **Break Play**: Enter if price strongly breaks through the FVG box
- **Rejection Play**: Enter opposite direction if price gets rejected at the FVG
Risk Management
Stop Losses
- Place stops just outside the FVG box (a few ticks beyond the gap)
- If trading a bounce, stop goes on opposite side of the gap
- If trading a break, stop goes back inside the gap
Position Sizing
- Start small until you understand how FVGs work in your market
- Bigger gaps = smaller position size (more risk)
- Smaller gaps = can use larger position size
Profit Targets
- Take profits at obvious levels like round numbers, previous highs/lows
- Consider taking half profits at 1:1 risk/reward ratio
- Let some position run if the move is strong
Best Practices
When It Works Best
- High-volume stocks and futures (ES, NQ work great)
- Normal market days without major news during the 9:31-10:00 window
- When there's clear institutional activity in the opening period
When to Be Careful
- Low-volume stocks or markets
- Major economic news releases during the time window
- Market holidays when volume is low
- Very choppy or sideways days
Alert Usage
- The script will alert you when price comes back to test the FVG
- Don't trade the alert blindly - always check the current market situation
- Use the alert as a heads-up to start watching the setup more closely
Tips for Success
- The earlier the FVG forms in the 9:31-10:00 window, often the more significant it is
- FVGs that form with high volume are usually more reliable
- Always consider the overall market direction - don't fight the main trend
- Practice on paper first to understand how FVGs behave in your chosen market

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Automatic High/Low Tracking
This indicator automatically tracks and draws liquidity levels (recent highs and lows) from up to 6 custom timeframes directly on your chart. It’s designed for advanced traders who want to visualize important swing points and liquidity pools across multiple timeframes—ideal for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, and price action trading.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Support:
Select up to 6 different timeframes (ex: 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, etc.), each with separate color and visibility controls.
Real Liquidity (No Repaint):
Levels are only drawn from fully closed bars on each timeframe—no lines from currently forming candles, ensuring accuracy and no forward-looking bias.
Automatic Detection:
Highs and lows are detected automatically. Levels that get swept (price breaks through) are converted to dashed lines for easy visual distinction.
Customizable:
Choose line colors for highs/lows and set the maximum number of active levels per timeframe to keep charts clean.
Extended Lines:
All levels are extended to the right, helping you see how current price interacts with past liquidity.
How It Works:
On every new bar of your chosen higher timeframe(s), the indicator records the high and low of the previous (just-closed) candle.
These levels are extended as rays until price sweeps (crosses) them.
When a level is swept, it is redrawn as a dashed line to highlight liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
No lines are drawn for the “live” bar—only confirmed, closed levels are displayed.
Who is this for?
SMC, ICT, and price action traders seeking high-confidence liquidity zones.
Intraday, swing, and multi-timeframe traders who want an automated, visual edge.
Anyone wanting to avoid repainting or “fake” levels from unfinished candles.
Tip:
Combine this indicator with your favorite order block, fair value gap (FVG), or market structure tools for even greater context and confluence.
Disclaimer:
No indicator guarantees profits. Always use with proper risk management and in conjunction with your trading plan.

Perfect MA Touch – Full Setup 1,3,5,7,8,9This indicator helps you track a precise candle countdown from a moving average touch, labeling key bars (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9) for timing entries and momentum setups — with optional coloring, alerts, and full customization.
What It Detects
1. MA Touch Trigger
The sequence starts when any selected moving average (up to 6 MAs, customizable) is touched by the candle's high/low range.
This "perfect touch" initiates the count and labels that candle as "1".
2. Candle Number Labels
After a perfect MA touch:
Candle 1 = the bar that touches the MA
Candle 3 = two bars after Candle 1
Candle 5 = the fifth bar after the touch
Candle 7 = third bar after Candle 5
Candle 8 = fourth bar after Candle 5
Candle 9 = fifth bar after Candle 5
It creates a time-based sequence you can use to anticipate reactions or momentum shifts.
3. Customization
You can:
Choose between EMA or SMA for each MA (6 total)
Set custom lengths for each MA (9, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200)
Choose which candle numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9) to highlight
Pick font size and label color
4. Highlighting and Alerts
Highlight candles (with color) when certain bars (like 3, 5, 7) print
Alerts are available for all tracked bars (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9)
Use Case Example
Let’s say you want to enter trades on the 3rd candle after a perfect MA touch:
You set the script to highlight candle 3.
When a candle hits your chosen MA (say EMA 9), it’s labeled “1”.
Two bars later, bar 3 appears — giving you a timed signal to enter if price behavior aligns.
This method is especially useful when paired with:
Volume confirmation
Breakout or reversal patterns
Support/resistance or order block zones

Math by Thomas Liquidity PoolDescription
Math by Thomas Liquidity Pool is a TradingView indicator designed to visually identify potential liquidity pools on the chart by detecting areas where price forms clusters of equal highs or equal lows.
Bullish Liquidity Pools (Green Boxes): Marked below price where two adjacent candles have similar lows within a specified difference, indicating potential demand zones or stop loss clusters below support.
Bearish Liquidity Pools (Red Boxes): Marked above price where two adjacent candles have similar highs within the difference threshold, indicating potential supply zones or stop loss clusters above resistance.
This tool helps traders spot areas where smart money might hunt stop losses or where price is likely to react, providing valuable insight for trade entries, exits, and risk management.
Features:
Adjustable box height (vertical range) in points.
Adjustable maximum difference threshold between candle highs/lows to consider them equal.
Boxes automatically extend forward for visibility and delete when price sweeps through or after a defined lifetime.
Separate visual zones for bullish and bearish liquidity with customizable colors.
How to Use
Add the Indicator to your chart (preferably on instruments like Nifty where point-based thresholds are meaningful).
Adjust Inputs:
Box Height: Set the vertical size of the liquidity zones (default 15 points).
Max Difference Between Highs/Lows: Set the max price difference to consider two candle highs or lows as “equal” (default 10 points).
Box Lifetime: How many bars the box stays visible if not swept (default 120 bars).
Interpret Boxes:
Green Boxes (Bullish Liquidity Pools): Areas of potential demand and stop loss clusters below price. Watch for price bounces or accumulation near these zones.
Red Boxes (Bearish Liquidity Pools): Areas of potential supply and stop loss clusters above price. Watch for price rejections or distribution near these zones.
Trading Strategy Tips:
Use these zones to anticipate where stop loss hunting or liquidity sweeps may occur.
Combine with your Order Block, Fair Value Gap, and Market Structure tools for higher probability setups.
Manage risk by avoiding entries into price regions just before large liquidity pools get swept.
Automatic Cleanup:
Boxes delete automatically once price breaks above (for bearish zones) or below (for bullish zones) the zone or after the set lifetime.

SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money
🔵 Settings
⚙️ Logical Settings
Symbol : Choose the secondary asset to compare with the main chart asset (e.g., XAUUSD, US100, GBPUSD).
Pivot Period : Sets the sensitivity of the pivot detection algorithm. A smaller value increases responsiveness to price swings.
Activate Max Pivot Back : When enabled, limits the maximum number of past pivots to be considered for divergence detection.
Max Pivot Back Length : Defines how many past pivots can be used (if the above toggle is active).
Pivot Sync Threshold : The maximum allowed difference (in bars) between pivots of the two assets for them to be compared.
Validity Pivot Length : Defines the time window (in bars) during which a divergence remains valid before it's considered outdated.
🎨 Display Settings
Show Bullish SMT Line : Draws a line connecting the bullish divergence points.
Show Bullish SMT Label : Displays a label on the chart when a bullish divergence is detected.
Bullish Color : Sets the color for bullish SMT markers (label, shape, and line).
Show Bearish SMT Line : Draws a line for bearish divergence.
Show Bearish SMT Label : Displays a label when a bearish SMT divergence is found.
Bearish Color : Sets the color for bearish SMT visual elements.
🔔 Alert Settings
Alert Name : Custom name for the alert messages (used in TradingView’s alert system).
Message Frequency :
All : Every signal triggers an alert.
Once Per Bar : Alerts once per bar regardless of how many signals occur.
Per Bar Close : Only triggers when the bar closes and the signal still exists.
Time Zone Display : Choose the time zone in which alert timestamps are displayed (e.g., UTC).
Bullish SMT Divergence Alert : Enable/disable alerts specifically for bullish signals.
Bearish SMT Divergence Alert : Enable/disable alerts specifically for bearish signals
🔵Conclusion
The SMT Plus indicator offers a refined and powerful approach to detecting smart money behavior through divergence analysis between correlated assets. By removing the limitations of consecutive pivot comparisons and allowing for broader structural detection, it captures more accurate and timely signals that often precede major market moves.
When paired with frameworks like Sequential SMT and the Quarterly Theory, the indicator not only highlights where divergence occurs, but also when in the market cycle it's most likely to matter. Its flexible settings, customizable visuals, and integrated alert system make it suitable for intraday scalpers, swing traders, and even long-term macro analysts.
Whether you're using it as a standalone decision-making tool or combining it with other ICT concepts, SMT Plus gives you an edge in recognizing manipulation, timing reversals, and staying in sync with the real market narrative—not just the chart.
Normalized VolumeOVERVIEW
The Normalized Volume (NV) is an attempt at visualizing volume in a format that is more understandable by placing the values on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 in this case is the lowest volume candle available on the chart, and 100 being the highest. Calling a candle “high volume” can be misleading without having something to compare to. For example, in scaling the volume this way we can clearly see that a given candle had 80% of the peak volume or 20%, and gauge the validity of price moves more accurately.
FEATURES
NV by session
Allows user to filter the volume values across 4 different sessions. This can add context to the volume output, because what it high volume during London session may not be high volume relative to New York session.
Overlay plotting
When volume boxes are turned on, this will allow you to toggle how they are plotted.
Color theme
A standard color theme will color the NV based on if the respective candle closed green or red. Selecting variables will color the NV plot based on which range the value falls within.
Session inputs
Activated with the “By session?” Input. Allows user to break the day up into 4 sessions to more accurately gauge volume relative to time of day.
Show Box (X)
Toggles on chart boxes on and off.
Show historical boxes
Will plot prior occurrences of selected volume boxes, deleting them when price fully moves through them in the opposite direction of the initial candle.
Color inputs
Allows for intensive customization in how this tool appears visually.
INTERPRETATION
There are 6 pre-defined ranges that NV can fall within.
NV <= 10
Volume is insignificant
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 10 and <= 20
Volume is low
In this range, volume should not be a confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 20 and <= 40
Volume is fair
In this range, volume should not be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 40 and <= 60
Volume is high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 60 and <= 80
Volume is very high
In this range, volume can be the primary confirmation in your trading strategy.
NV > 80
Volume is extreme
In this range, volume is likely news driven and caution should be taken. High price volatility possible.
To utilize this tool in conjunction with your current strategy, follow the range explanations above section in this section. The higher the NV value, the stronger you can feel about your directional confirmation.
If NV = 100, this means that the highest volume candle occurred up to that point on your selected timeframe. All future data points will be weighed off of this value.
LIMITATIONS
This tool will not load on tickers that do not have volume data, such as VIX.
STRATEGY
The Normalized Volume plot can be used in exactly the same way as you would normally utilize volume in your trading strategy. All we are doing is weighing the volume relative to itself.
Volume boxes can be used as targets to be filled in a similar way to commonly used “fair value gap” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Plot to Wicks” in Overlay Plotting and toggling on Show Historical Boxes.
Volume boxes can be used as areas for entry in a similar way to commonly used “order block” strategies. To utilize this strategy, I recommend selecting “Open To Close” in Overlay Plotting.
NOTES
You are able to plot an info label on right side of NV plot using the "Toggle box label" input. When a box is toggled on this label will tell you when the most recent box of that intensity occurred.
This tool is deeply visually customizable, with the ability to adjust line width for plotted boxes, all colors on both box overlays, and all colors on NV panel. Customize it to your liking!
I have a handful of additional features that I plan on adding to this tool in future updates. If there is anything you would like to see added, any bugs you identify, or any strategies you encounter with this tool, I would love to hear from you!
Huge shoutout to @joebaus for assisting in bringing this tool to life, please check out his work here on TradingView!
Engulfing Sweeps - Milana TradesEngulfing Sweeps
The Engulfing Sweeps Candle is a candlestick pattern that:
1)Takes liquidity from the previous candle’s high or low.
2)Fully engulfs previous candles upon closing.
3)Indicates strong buying or selling pressure.
4)Helps determine the bias of the next candle.
Logic Behind Engulfing Sweeps
If you analyze this candle on a lower timeframe, you’ll often see popular models like PO3 (Power of Three) or AMD (Accumulation – Manipulation – Distribution).
Once the candle closes, the goal is to enter a position on the retracement of the distribution phase.
How to Use Engulfing Sweeps?
Recommended Timeframes:
4H, Daily, Weekly – these levels hold significant liquidity.
Personally, I prefer 4H, as it provides a solid view of mid-term market moves.
Step1 - Identify Engulfing Sweep Candle
Step 2-Switch to a lower timeframe (15m or 5m).And you task identify optimal trade entry
Look for an entry pattern based on:
FVG (Fair Value Gap)
OB (Order Block)
FIB levels (0/0.25/0.5/ 0.75/ 1)
Wait for confirmation and take the trade.
Automating with TradingView Alerts
To avoid missing the pattern, you can set up alerts using a custom script. Once the pattern forms, TradingView will notify you so you can analyze the chart and take action. This approch helps me be more freedom
Previous Hour High and Low### **🔷 Previous Hour High & Low Indicator – Description**
#### 📌 **Overview**
The **Previous Hour High & Low Indicator** is designed to help traders identify key levels from the last completed hourly candle. These levels often act as **support and resistance zones**, helping traders make informed decisions about potential breakouts, reversals, and liquidity grabs.
#### 🎯 **How It Works**
- At the start of every new hour, the indicator **locks in** the **high and low** from the **previous fully completed hour**.
- It then **draws horizontal lines** on the chart, marking these levels.
- Works **only on intraday timeframes** (e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m), ensuring clean and relevant levels.
- Updates dynamically **every new hour** without repainting.
#### 🔑 **Why Is This Useful?**
✔ **Identifies Key Liquidity Zones** – The market often reacts to previous hour highs/lows, making them useful for stop hunts, liquidity grabs, and order block setups.
✔ **Works Well with ICT Concepts** – If you're trading **ICT kill zones**, these levels can help in finding optimal trade entries.
✔ **Helps with Breakout & Rejection Setups** – Traders can watch for price breaking or rejecting these levels for trade confirmation.
✔ **Useful for Scalping & Day Trading** – Works best for short-term traders looking for intraday movements.
#### ⚙ **Customization Options**
- The high and low levels are color-coded:
🔵 **Previous Hour High (Blue)** → Acts as potential resistance or breakout point.
🔴 **Previous Hour Low (Red)** → Acts as potential support or breakdown level.
#### 📊 **Best Timeframes to Use This On**
- **1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute charts** → Most effective for intraday trading.
- Avoid using on **hourly or higher timeframes**, as these levels become less relevant.

Smart Money Setup 05 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends the realm of mere technical trading strategies to embody a comprehensive philosophy on the dynamics of market operations. It posits that key market participants engage in price manipulation, thereby complicating the trading landscape for smaller, retail traders.
Under this doctrine, retail traders are advised to tailor their strategies in alignment with the maneuvers of "Smart Money" - essentially, the capital operated by market makers.
To this end, one should endeavor to mirror the trading patterns of these influential market participants, who are adept at navigating through the nuances of supply, demand, and overall market structure. As a proponent of Smart Money trading, these elements are pivotal in your decision-making process for trade entries.
🟣 Key Insights
The core principle of this strategy hinges on misleading other traders. A sudden market movement against the prevailing trend that results in the formation of either a lower low or a higher high, followed by a pullback where a divergence pattern emerges, sets the stage.
Subsequently, the market may form another lower low or higher high. Traders, persuaded that the market will continue along the trajectory of the new movement, are caught off-guard when the price abruptly reverses direction. Following a "Stop Hunt" of the traders' open positions, the market resumes its initial trend.
To grasp the essence of this setup, observe the following illustrations.
"Bullish Setup" :
"Bearish Setup" :
🔵 How to Use
The setups can be customized based on the desired formation period. This adjustment can be made through the indicator's price setting options, where the default period is set at 2.
Upon configuring your preferred period, the signals become actionable. Once a setup forms, the subsequent step involves waiting for the price to reach the "Order Block".

Support & Resistance IndicatorThe MACD Support & Resistance indicator is an enhanced tool to better visualize potential supply (resistance) and demand (support) zones based on the MACD indicator. It combines the strength of the MACD with recent price highs and lows to depict potential breakout or reversal areas in the market.
Features:
MACD Settings: Users can adjust the fast length, slow length, source of MACD, signal smoothing, and MA type for both the oscillator and the signal line.
Dynamic Color Settings: Customize the color of supply boxes, demand boxes, and closed boxes for improved visualization.
Table View: An optional table can be displayed showing the average MACD high and low values, with customizable table position, size, background color, and text color.
Historical MACD Average: The indicator uses a historical average of MACD pivot highs and lows to determine potential support and resistance zones.
Real-Time Zone Detection: The indicator plots 'High Boxes' when the MACD crosses above its average high and 'Low Boxes' when it crosses below its average low, which signifies potential breakout or reversal zones.
How It Works:
The MACD line is calculated using user-defined moving average types (either EMA or SMA).
Pivot highs and pivot lows of the MACD are identified over a specified period.
Historical MACD highs and lows are stored and managed for average calculation. The average MACD high and low values are then used to determine potential trading zones.
When the MACD crosses over its average high, a 'High Box' (representing a potential breakout zone) is plotted from the recent high price to the candle top.
Conversely, when the MACD crosses under its average low, a 'Low Box' (indicating a potential reversal zone) is plotted from the recent low price to the candle base.
As price progresses, the boxes can either extend (if price stays within the zone) or close if a breakout happens.
For those who prefer a tabular view, an optional table displays the average MACD high and low, enhancing the on-chart data representation.
Use Cases:
Traders can use this indicator as an additional tool to spot potential breakout or reversal areas based on the MACD's behavior against its historical average. The visual representation in the form of boxes can assist in making better trading decisions by offering a clear picture of potential supply and demand zones.
Note: As with all trading indicators, it's advisable to use this tool in conjunction with other technical analysis methods or indicators for more informed decision-making.
itradesize /\ Overnight Session & Silver BulletOvernight Session & Silver Bullet indicator
The indicator can be divided into two separate stuff:
ONS ( Overnight Session ) based on TCM’s ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) theory and Silver Bullet based on what ICT ( InnerCircleTrader ) is teaching to us.
Overnight Session
• ONS will be always based on Chicago 4am to 8am time according to TCM’s CME teaching.
The indicator has the option to show TSO ( Today’s session only ) which is good to have the chart not messed up by it. At this time when it comes to backtesting just turn this off to have the past ONS and SB ranges showed up on your chart.
• Mid line at the ONS range is useful to have as you are able to decide wether price is in a premium or a discount under the ONS.
If Im a buyer target is above the range, if Im a seller target is below the range.
• You are also able to have SD ( Standard Deviation ) lines for price projections. In the variety of TCM’s videos you are able to have a deeper knowledge.
• You can also extend Today’s ONS lines to the very end of the chart which could make an easier looking on the levels you eyeing with.
Silver Bullet
It’s based on New York time as ICT ( Inner Circle Trader ) is always teaching to us that we should use New York time, every time when it comes to his concepts.
Silver Bullets are always be there aiming of an opposing liquidity pool. They are working even on choppy days.
Silver Bullet hours:
• 03:00 - 04:00am NY Time
• 10:00 - 11:00am NY Time
• 02:00 - 03:00pm NY Time
SB highlighted areas could be shown as a box or a range according to your taste, with or without Start/End lines.
Both of them ca be used to form trades.
You should dig yourself into Silver Bullet ( InnerCircleTrader ) and Overnight Session ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) teachings before the use of the indicator.
Simple setups
• Silver Bullet
Look 20-30 minutes before any SB where the Buy or Sell program has started.
Where the first 1m FVG ( Fair Value Gap ) appears under the range, enter the trade.
Expect only a 5 handle move as a beginner.
1m chart is a must for these kind of FVG entries. ( 30s , 15s can also be used )
• ONS
Price is trading aggressively out of the range to take liquidity.
Once price grabbed liquidity that candle on the 3-5m could considered as on order block for the further movement.
If you are trading in the range, then the opposite side can be the target, if its out of the range and trading one sided, then use standard deviations as 0.5 is a minimum target.
Automatic Order Block + Imbalance by D. BrigagliaThis script combines automatic orderblock and imbalance tracking.
Bullish OB - Blue
Bullish Imbalance - Green
Bearish OB - Red
Bearish Imbalance - Orange
Please note that the actual definitions of orderblock and imbalance are not respected in this script for the sake of simplicity. Scripts that are too complex may overfit some particular chart. Since there is no way to translate the actual ob and imb definitions into pinescript language, I decided to keep it simple.
Ideally, you want to see a bullish OB followed by buy side imbalance, or viceversa. OBs that are broken weakly are generally invalidated, ones that are broken strongly generally become breakers, and you can use them as good support/resistance levels.
Also, a good thing you can do when an OB and an imbalance match, is going in the lower timeframes and catching the structure reversal in the OB or imbalance zone. That may provide excellent RR trades. Always trade with OB that confirm the HTF trend.
Nothing in my content on tradingview is considerable investment advice.
Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFeThis super indicator is a Swiss army knife for Smart Money traders for OrderBlocks / FVG / BoS
It provides many options for drawing (non-repainting) boxes for OrderBlocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Break of Structures. The boxes are extended into the future, until the first retest/mitigation.
Some of the additional options (not explained in the diagrams above)
PPDD OB : An order block which is formed after interacting with Liquidity (old low/high, fractal low/high, etc). Since these OB's are in the most premium or most discount, they are Premium Premium Discount Discount OB's (PPDD OB)
HVB Bars : When the volume of any bar is higher than the average volume of last N bars, it could mean something important (in the right context). Hence, the indicator allows for coloring them differently.
This indicator was built as a collaboration between @makuchaku & eFe
Pro tip : This indicator is a simply a tool to visualize trading concepts on the candle stick chart. It is the job of the trader to sequence these effectively into a profitable trade.
If you come across any bug or have a question on how to effectively use the indicator, please don't hesitate to ask questions.
Good luck & good trading!
Volume-based S/R Levels
█ OVERVIEW
After my last indicator "Order Block Finder" was unexpectedly popular with the TradingView community, I decided to publish another experimental indicator which again tries to identify "areas of interest"
Idea:
Often candles with long wicks represent strong buying & selling pressure, especially when they are combined with extraordinary volume. Especially interesting to me are the lower wicks on red candles and the upper wicks of green candles. These wicks can potentially indicate "areas of interest" by the bigger players in the market and price may interact with these levels again in the future.
This indicator tries to identify these "high volume / long wick" candles and paints a line of either Support or Resistance from the wick into the future.
█ CALCULATION LOGIC
Extraordinary Volume is identified by first calculating thresholds based on a volume Moving Average and Standard Deviations. Two Standard Deviation Values are entered to identify HIGH and EXTREME threshold levels. The current volume is classified by comparing the volume against these thresholds.
The following inputs can be made:
- Volume MA Length
- Standard Deviation Length
- Threshold for HIGH Volume (Number of StdDev)
- Threshold for EXTREME Volume (Number of StdDev)
Another entry parameter can be used to specify the Minimum Wick Length (in % of the candle body value) which identifies a "relevant" candle. If this value is set to 0, then there is no limit and all high volume candles are considered.
The identified Support/Resistance levels are shown as lines on the chart. The parameter "Length of lines (hours)" can be used to set the length of the lines (always in hours). Depending on the timeframe, this needs to be adjusted.
(I know that this can be solved more elegantly in pine, but it was just not important to me. As always everyone is free to copy the code and make improvements. Just give me a mention when you do.)
█ DISPLAY OPTIONS
Different display options are available in the settings:
- Display Support/Resistance: Select if you want to see only Support or Resistance lines - or both
- Display High/Extreme Volume: Select if you only want to see the Extreme Value Candles or the High Value Candles or both
- Display WICK / WICK Range: Select if you only want one line at the extreme value (High/Low) of the wick - or if you want to see a range (three lines - one at the top, one at the bottom and one in the middle of the wick)
- Show Signal Triangles?: This gives the option to show little triangles on all the identified candles
█ DISCLAIMER
This is an experimental indicator and I do not know if my theory works in real life. So treat this not as financial advise, but purely for entertainment and educational purposes.
As mentioned above, I publish this code open so that everyone can re-use it or hopefully even improve it.
Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement and if it is within my coding capabilities (which to be honest are quite limited), I will try to accomodate it.
Have fun.
