External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.

Z-Score Trend Monitor [EdgeTerminal]The Z-Score Trend Monitor measures how far the short-term moving average deviates from the long-term moving average using the spread difference of the two — in standardized units. It’s designed to detect overextension, momentum exhaustion, and potential mean-reversion points by converting the spread between two moving averages into a normalized Z-score and tracking its change and direction over time.
The idea behind this is to catch the changes in the direction of a trend earlier than the usual and lagging moving average lines, allowing you to react faster.
The math behind the indicator itself is very simple. We take the simple moving average of the spread between a long term and short term moving average, and divide it by the difference between the spread and spread mean.
This results in a relatively accurate and early acting trend detector that can easily identify overbought and oversold levels in any timeframe. From our own testing, we recommend using this indicator as a trend confirmation tool.
How to Use It:
Keep an eye on the Z-Score or the blue line. When it goes over 2, it indicates an overbought or near top level, and when it goes below -2, it indicates an oversold or near bottom.
When Z-Score returns to zero or grey line, it suggests mean reversion is in progress.
You can also change the Z-Score criteria from 2 and -2 in the settings to any number you’d like for tighter or wider levels.
For scalping and fast trading setups, we recommend shorter SMAs, such as 5 and 20, and for longer trading setups such as swing trades, we recommend 20 and 100.
Settings:
Short SMA: Lookback period of short term simple moving average for the lower side of the SMA spread.
Short Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the short term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the short SMA field.
Long SMA: Lookback period of long term simple moving average for the upper side of the SMA spread.
Long Term Weight: Additional weight or multiplier to suppress the long term SMA calculation. This is used to refine the long SMA calculation for more granular and edge cases when needed, usually left at 1, meaning it will take the entire given value in the long SMA field.
Z-Score Threshold: The threshold for upper (oversold) and lower (overbought) levels. This can also be set individually from the style page.
Z-Score Lookback Window: The lookback period to calculate spread mean and spread standard deviation
C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe: Choose a timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to match your trading style.
Filters:
Enable/disable the ATR volatility filter to focus on high-volatility periods.
Enable/disable the 50/200 EMA trend filter to align signals with the broader trend.
Enable the time filter and set custom UTC hours/minutes (default 9:00–15:00).
Cloud Settings: Adjust the cloud width, neutral zone threshold, color, and transparency.
EMA Colors: Use default trend-based colors or set custom colors for short/long EMAs.
RSI Display: Toggle the scaled RSI and its thresholds, with customizable colors.
Signal Settings: Toggle bull/bear labels and set signal colors.
Market Condition Labels: Toggle current/historical labels, include/exclude volatility, and adjust decay period.
Interpret Signals:
Bull Signal: A green triangle or “Bull” label below the bar indicates potential bullish momentum (EMA crossover, RSI above bull threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Bear Signal: A red triangle or “Bear” label above the bar indicates potential bearish momentum (EMA crossunder, RSI below bear threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Neutral Zone: Yellow candlesticks and cloud (if enabled) suggest a lack of clear trend; consider range-bound strategies or avoid trading.
Market Condition Labels: Check labels above the chart for real-time trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and volatility status to confirm market context.
Monitor Context: Use the cloud, RSI, and labels to assess trend strength and volatility before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Volatility-Adaptive EMAs: Automatically adjusts EMA lengths based on ATR to suit volatile or non-volatile markets, reducing manual configuration.
Neutral Zone Detection: Uses an ATR-based threshold to identify low-trend periods, helping traders avoid choppy markets.
Scaled RSI Visualization: Plots RSI and thresholds directly on the price chart, simplifying momentum analysis relative to price.
Flexible Time Filtering: Supports precise UTC-based trading windows, ideal for day traders targeting specific sessions.
Historical Market Labels: Displays recent trend changes (up to two) with a decay period, providing context for market shifts.
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: Aligns signals with the broader market trend, enhancing signal reliability.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in fast-moving markets due to EMA-based calculations.
Neutral zone detection may vary in extremely volatile or illiquid markets.

📈 What Is an EMA?
The EMA is a type of moving average that adjusts more quickly to recent price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA). It does this by giving exponentially more weight to the most recent candles.
⚙️ How Does It Function?
Smoothing Price Data:
It takes the average of closing prices over a chosen period (like 20 or 50 candles), but gives more influence to the latest prices.
Reacts Quickly to Price Shifts:
Since recent data is weighted more heavily, the EMA adjusts faster to sudden price changes — helping you spot trend reversals or momentum shifts earlier.
Dynamic Support & Resistance:
Traders often use EMAs as moving support/resistance levels. Price often "respects" EMAs in trending markets — bouncing off them during pullbacks.
Trend Confirmation:
- If price is above the EMA, the market is likely in an uptrend.
- If price is below the EMA, the market is likely in a downtrend.
- Multiple EMAs (like 12/21 or 50/200) crossing each other are used for entry/exit signals.
💡 Example:
If you use a 21 EMA on a chart, it shows you the average price of the last 21 candles, but the most recent ones weigh heavier. This makes the EMA more responsive than an SMA, and better for short-term or active trading.
📊 Why EMAs Matter — and How Multi-Timeframe EMAs Give You the Edge
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are essential tools for identifying trend direction, momentum shifts, and dynamic support/resistance. Because they weight recent price data more heavily, EMAs adapt quickly to changing market conditions, giving traders early insight into reversals or continuations.
Where this script shines is in its multi-timeframe (MTF) capability. For example, plotting a daily EMA on a 4H chart gives you high-level directional guidance while still allowing precision entries. This enables confluence between LTF (low timeframe) signals and HTF (high timeframe) momentum — a crucial edge used by institutional-level traders.
You can configure the tool to run classic combos like the 12/21 crossover on your current chart, while layering in a 50 or 200 EMA from a higher timeframe for macro confirmation. The 6th EMA, colored light blue by default, is perfect for adding one final level of structure insight — often used as a long-term anchor or trend bias marker.
Whether you're riding the wave or catching the reversal, these EMAs serve as your adaptable compass in every environment.
🎯 Purpose
This indicator was built to give traders a clear, responsive, and multi-timeframe edge using dynamic Exponential Moving Averages. Whether you're trend-following, identifying momentum shifts, or building a confluence system — these 6 EMAs are here to align with your strategy and style.
💡 Pro Tip
Instead of cluttering your chart with multiple EMA indicators, this script consolidates all into one sleek tool. You can toggle off bands you don't currently need, like running only the 12/21 EMAs on your active chart timeframe, while adding the 12/21 EMAs from a higher timeframe to guide trade decisions.
With this setup, you're not just reacting — you're orchestrating your trades with intention.

Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves - Tr33man Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves
Overview 🤷♂️
The Daily ATR Bonanza script is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders visualize and understand potential price movements using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides daily and weekly ATR levels, historical statistics, and conditional probability analysis to give traders actionable insights. The script also plots the daily Keltner channel. This script is ideal for traders who want to gauge volatility, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions.
b]Key Features:
📈 1. Daily and Weekly ATR Levels
🔵ATR Levels: The script calculates and displays ATR-based levels for the day and week. These levels are derived from the previous day's or week's close price and are adjusted using customizable multipliers (0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x by default).
🔵You can choose the number of ATR levels (1, 2, or 3) and adjust the multipliers to suit your trading strategy.
🌐 2. ATR Bands (Keltner Channels)
🔵The script includes an option to display ATR Bands, which are volatility-based envelopes around a moving average. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
🔵You can adjust the ATR multiplier and the length of the moving average used for the bands.
🧮 3. Historical Statistics and Conditional Probability
🔵 Historical Analysis: The script analyzes historical price movements to calculate the likelihood of closing at certain ATR levels.
🔵 Conditional Probability: This feature shows the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels given the current market conditions. The conditional matches historical data by an open in the same opening ATR bucket, as well as the current price bucket having been visited in the historical case. Conditional probabilities are just statistics, and do not predict anything.
Data Table: 📚
🔵 Historical Close Probability: The percentage of days the price closed within each ATR level.
🔵 Conditional Close Probability: The likelihood of the price closing within each ATR level today.
❓ What is Conditional Probability? ❓
Conditional probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. In this script, it is used to determine the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels based on the current opening range as well as current ATR distance from the previous close.
For example:
If the market opens near the lower end of the first ATR level, the script calculates the likelihood of the price reaching the upper end of the first, second, or third ATR level.
This analysis is based on historical data, making it a powerful tool for understanding potential price movements.
🌟 Understanding the Levels
🔵Daily Levels: These are based on the previous day's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new day.
🔵Weekly Levels: These are based on the previous week's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new week.
🔵ATR Bands: These are dynamic levels that adjust with market volatility.
🔬 Analyze the Statistics (Daily only for now, no weekly yet)
🔵Use the interactive table to understand historical probabilities and conditional probabilities.
🔵Focus on the current opening range and the likelihood of reaching specific levels.
🧠 Make Trading Decisions
🔵Use the ATR levels and bands to identify key support and resistance levels.
🔵Use the conditional probability table to gauge the likelihood of reaching specific targets.
🔵Adjust your strategy based on the historical performance of the market.
Example Use Cases

Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:
Display: BB basis (20, white), upper/lower (green/red, 45% transparent). Fill pulses (30–50 alpha) by regime, with glow (60–95 alpha) near bands (close ≥ 0.995x upper or ≤ 1.005x lower).
Purpose: Highlights volatility and key levels with a futuristic glow.
Visuals make complex regimes and signals instantly clear, even for newbies.
Pulsing effects and regime-specific colors add a DAFE signature, setting it apart from generic scripts.
BB glow emphasizes tradeable levels, enhancing decision-making.
Chart Background (Regime Heatmap):
Green — Trending Market: Strong, sustained price movement in one direction. The market is in a trend phase—momentum follows through.
Orange — Range-Bound: Market is consolidating or moving sideways, with no clear up/down trend. Great for mean reversion setups.
Red — Volatile Regime: High volatility, heightened risk, and larger/faster price swings—trade with caution.
Gray — Quiet/Low Volatility: Market is calm and inactive, with small moves—often poor conditions for most strategies.
Navy — Other/Neutral: Regime is uncertain or mixed; signals may be less reliable.
Bollinger Bands Glow (Dynamic Fill):
Neon Red Glow — Warning!: Price is near or breaking above the upper band; momentum is overstretched, watch for overbought conditions or reversals.
Bright Green Glow — Opportunity!: Price is near or breaking below the lower band; market could be oversold, prime for bounce or reversal.
Trend Green Fill — Trending Regime: Fills between bands with green when the market is trending, showing clear momentum.
Gold/Yellow Fill — Range Regime: Fills with gold/aqua in range conditions, showing the market is sideways/oscillating.
Magenta/Red Fill — Volatility Spike: Fills with vivid magenta/red during highly volatile regimes.
Blue Fill — Neutral/Quiet: A soft blue glow for other or uncertain market states.
Moving Averages:
Display: Blue fast EMA (20), red slow EMA (50), 2px.

CISD [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "CISD - Change in State of Delivery" is a precision tool designed for traders utilizing ICT (Inner Circle Trader) conecpets. It detects critical shifts in delivery conditions after liquidity sweeps — helping you spot true smart money activity and optimal trade opportunities. This script is especially valuable for traders applying liquidity concepts, displacement recognition, and market structure shifts at both intraday and swing levels.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
Unlike basic trend-following or scalping tools, CISD operates through a two-phase smart money logic:
Liquidity Sweep Detection (sweeping Buyside or Sellside Liquidity).
State of Delivery Change Identification (through bearish or bullish displacement after the sweep).
It intelligently tracks candle sequences and only signals a CISD event after true displacement — offering a much deeper context than ordinary indicators.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works:
Swing Point Detection: Identifies recent pivot highs/lows to map Buyside Liquidity (BSL) and Sellside Liquidity (SSL) zones.
Liquidity Sweeps: Watches for price breaches of these liquidity points to detect institutional stop hunts.
Sequence Recognition: Finds series of same-direction candles before sweeps to mark institutional accumulation/distribution.
Change of Delivery Confirmation: Confirms CISD only after significant displacement moves price against the initial candle sequence.
Visual Markings: Automatically plots CISD lines and optional labels, customizable in color, style, and size.
🎯 How to Use It:
Identify Liquidity Sweeps: Watch for CISD levels plotted after a liquidity sweep event.
Plan Entries: Look for retracements into CISD lines for high-probability entries.
Manage Risk: Use CISD levels to refine your stop-loss and profit-taking zones.
Best Application:
After stop hunts during Killzones (London Open, New York AM).
As part of the Flow State Model: identify higher timeframe PD Arrays ➔ wait for lower timeframe CISD confirmation.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Pools: Highs and lows cluster stop orders, attracting institutional sweeps.
Displacement: Powerful price moves post-sweep confirm smart money involvement.
Market Structure: CISD frequently precedes major Change of Character (CHoCH) or Break of Structure (BOS) shifts.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjustable line color, width, and style (solid, dashed, dotted).
Optional label display with customizable color and sizing.
Line extension settings to keep CISD zones visible for future reference.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying ICT Smart Money Concepts.
Intraday scalpers and higher timeframe swing traders.
Traders who want to improve entries around liquidity sweeps and institutional displacement moves.
🚀 Bonus Tip:
For maximum confluence, pair this with the HTF POI, ICT Liquidity Levels, and HTF Market Structure indicators available at TakingProphets.com! 🔥

SMC Entry Signals MTF v2📘 User Guide for the SMC Entry Signals MTF v2 Indicator
🎯 Purpose of the Indicator
This indicator is designed to identify reversal entry points based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and candlestick confirmation. It’s especially useful for traders who use:
Imbalance zones, order blocks, breaker blocks
Liquidity grabs
Multi-timeframe confirmation (MTF)
📈 How to Use the Signals on the Chart
✅ LONG Signal (green triangle below the candle):
Conditions:
Price is in a discount zone (below the FIB 50% level)
A bullish engulfing candle appears
A bullish Order Block (OB) or Breaker Block is detected
There’s an upward imbalance
A bullish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider entering long on the current or next candle.
Place your stop-loss below the OB or the nearest swing low.
Take profit at the nearest liquidity zone or premium area (above FIB 50%).
🔻 SHORT Signal (red triangle above the candle):
Conditions:
Price is in a premium zone (above FIB 50%)
A bearish engulfing candle appears
A bearish OB or Breaker Block is detected
There’s a downward imbalance
A bearish OB is confirmed on the higher timeframe
➡️ How to act:
Consider short entry after the signal.
Place your stop-loss above the OB or swing high.
Target the discount zone or the next liquidity pocket.
⚙️ Recommended Settings by Trading Style
Trading Style Suggested Settings Notes
Intraday (1–15m) fibLookback = 20–50, obLookback = 5–10, htf_tf = 1H/4H Fast signals. Use Discount/Premium + Engulfing.
Swing/Position (1H–1D) fibLookback = 50–100, obLookback = 10–20, htf_tf = 1D/1W Higher trust in MTF confirmation. Ideal with fundamentals.
Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation
Enable alerts:
"SMC Long Entry" — fires when a long signal appears.
"SMC Short Entry" — fires when a short signal appears.
You can integrate this with bots via webhook, like:
TradingConnector, 3Commas, Alertatron, etc.
✅ What This Indicator Gives You
High-probability entries using SMC logic
Customizable filters for entry logic
Multi-timeframe confirmation for stronger setups
Suitable for both intraday and swing trading
Alpha Beta Gamma with Volume CandleAlpha Beta Gamma with Volume Candle
This Pine Script indicator analyzes price dynamics and volume activity to assist traders in identifying momentum, reversals, and key price levels. It calculates three proprietary metrics—Alpha, Beta, and Gamma—based on a user-selected price type (e.g., Open, Close, HL2) and timeframe, using a lookback period (default 37 bars). These metrics normalize price movements relative to the range of highs and lows, helping traders gauge market strength and positioning.
How It Works:
Alpha: Measures the distance of the selected price from the lowest price over the lookback period, normalized by the period length.
Beta: Represents the full price range (high minus low) over the lookback period, scaled by the period length.
Gamma: Normalizes the price’s position within the high-low range, providing a 0–1 scale for relative positioning.
Volume Analysis: The script classifies candles based on volume thresholds relative to a simple moving average (SMA, default 400 bars). High volume (≥ 2x SMA), low volume (≤ 0.5x SMA), and strong signal volume (≥ 1.5x SMA) trigger distinct candle colors to highlight bullish (e.g., deep blue, violet) or bearish (e.g., aqua, pink) conditions.
Custom Bands: Nine horizontal levels (0 to 1, divided into eight equal parts) act as dynamic support/resistance zones, useful for grid-based trading or breakout strategies.
How to Use:
Inputs:
Chart Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price data (e.g., 1H, 1D).
Price Type: Choose the price metric (e.g., Close, HL2) for calculations.
ABG Length: Adjust the lookback period (default 37) for sensitivity.
Volume MA Length: Set the SMA period for volume analysis (default 400).
Volume Thresholds: Customize high, low, and strong volume multipliers.
Visual Settings: Toggle labels, custom bands, and table display; adjust line styles, label sizes, and table positions.
Interpretation:
Use Alpha, Beta, and Gamma plots to assess price momentum and range dynamics.
Monitor colored candles for volume-driven signals (e.g., violet for strong bullish volume).
Leverage custom bands for support/resistance or breakout trading.
Check the table for real-time ABG values and percentage changes.
Settings Tips:
For scalping, reduce the ABG Length (e.g., 20) and use a shorter timeframe (e.g., 5M).
For swing trading, increase the Volume MA Length (e.g., 600) for more stable volume signals.
Enable labels and custom bands for visual clarity on key levels.
This indicator is versatile for various trading styles, combining price-based metrics with volume analysis to enhance decision-making.

Scalping with Custom Price Alerts:
Scenario: A day trader monitors Tesla (TSLA) on a 5-minute chart and wants alerts at specific support/resistance levels.
Setup:
Set Custom Buy Alert Price to 150.00 (support) and Custom Sell Alert Price to 160.00 (resistance).
Use “labelup” for buy signals and “labeldown” for sell signals.
Keep Moving Average Crossover as “None” to focus on price alerts.
Usage: Receive a sound alert and label when TSLA crosses 150.00 (buy) or 160.00 (sell). Use volume-colored candles to confirm momentum before entering trades.
When NOT to Use Easy MA Signals
High-Frequency Trading: Reason: The indicator relies on moving averages and volume, which may lag in ultra-fast markets (e.g., sub-second trades). High-frequency traders may need specialized tools with real-time tick data.
Alternative: Use order book or market depth indicators for faster execution.
Low-Volatility or Sideways Markets:
Reason: MA crossovers and custom price alerts can generate false signals in choppy, range-bound markets, leading to whipsaws.
Alternative: Use oscillators like RSI or Bollinger Bands to trade within ranges.
This indicator is tailored more towards less experienced traders. And as always, paper trade until you are comfortable with how this works if you're unfamiliar with trading! We hope you enjoy this and have great success. Thanks for your interested in Easy MA Signals!

ICT Swiftedge# ICT SwiftEdge: Advanced Market Structure Trading System
**Overview**
ICT SwiftEdge is a powerful trading system built upon the foundation of ICTProTools' ICT Breakers, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (mozilla.org). This script has been significantly enhanced by to combine market structure analysis with modern technical indicators and a sleek, AI-inspired statistics dashboard. The goal is to provide traders with a comprehensive tool for identifying high-probability trade setups, managing exits, and tracking performance in a visually intuitive way.
**Credits**
This script is a derivative work based on the original "ICT Breakers" by ICTProTools, used with permission under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Significant enhancements, including RSI-MA signals, trend filtering, dynamic timeframe adjustments, dual exit strategies, and an AI-style statistics dashboard, were developed by . We express our gratitude to ICTProTools for their foundational work in market structure analysis.
**What It Does**
ICT SwiftEdge integrates multiple trading concepts to help traders identify and manage trades based on market structure and momentum:
- **Market Structure Analysis**: Identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) patterns, which signal potential trend continuations or reversals. BOS indicates a continuation of the current trend, while MSS highlights a shift in market direction, providing key entry points.
- **RSI-MA Signals**: Generates "BUY" and "SELL" signals when BOS or MSS patterns align with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) smoothed by a Moving Average (RSI-MA). Signals are filtered to occur only when RSI-MA is above 50 (for buys) or below 50 (for sells), ensuring momentum supports the trade direction.
- **Trend Filtering**: Prevents multiple signals in the same trend, ensuring only one buy or sell signal per trend direction, reducing noise and improving trade clarity.
- **Dynamic Timeframe Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts pivot points, RSI, and MA parameters based on the selected chart timeframe (1M to 1D), optimizing performance across different market conditions.
- **Flexible Exit Strategies**: Offers two user-selectable exit methods:
- **Trailing Stop-Loss (TSL)**: Exits trades when price moves against the position by a user-defined distance (in points), locking in profits or limiting losses.
- **RSI-MA Exit**: Exits trades when RSI-MA crosses the 50 level, signaling a potential loss of momentum.
- Users can enable either or both strategies, providing flexibility to adapt to different trading styles.
- **AI-Style Statistics Dashboard**: Displays real-time trade performance metrics in a futuristic, neon-colored interface, including total trades, wins, losses, win/loss ratio, and win percentage. This helps traders evaluate the system's effectiveness without external tools.
**Why This Combination?**
The integration of these components creates a synergistic trading system:
- **BOS/MSS and RSI-MA**: Combining market structure breaks with RSI-MA ensures entries are based on both price action (structure) and momentum (RSI-MA), increasing the likelihood of high-probability trades.
- **Trend Filtering**: By limiting signals to one per trend, the system avoids overtrading and focuses on significant market moves.
- **Dynamic Adjustments**: Timeframe-specific parameters make the system versatile, suitable for scalping (1M, 5M) or swing trading (4H, 1D).
- **Dual Exit Strategies**: TSL protects profits during trending markets, while RSI-MA exits are ideal for range-bound or reversing markets, catering to diverse market conditions.
- **Statistics Dashboard**: Provides immediate feedback on trade performance, enabling data-driven decision-making without manual tracking.
This combination balances technical precision with user-friendly visuals, making it accessible to both novice and experienced traders.
**How to Use**
1. **Add to Chart**: Apply the script to any TradingView chart.
2. **Configure Settings**:
- **Chart Timeframe**: Select your chart's timeframe (1M to 1D) to optimize parameters.
- **Structure Timeframe**: Choose a timeframe for market structure analysis (leave blank for chart timeframe).
- **Exit Strategy**: Enable Trailing Stop-Loss (`useTslExit`), RSI-MA Exit (`useRsiMaExit`), or both. Adjust `tslPoints` for TSL distance.
- **Show Signals/Labels**: Toggle `showSignals` and `showExit` to display "BUY", "SELL", and "EXIT" labels.
- **Dashboard**: Enable `showDashboard` to view trade statistics. Customize colors with `dashboardBgColor` and `dashboardTextColor`.
3. **Trading**:
- Look for "BUY" or "SELL" labels to enter trades when BOS/MSS aligns with RSI-MA.
- Exit trades at "EXIT" labels based on your chosen strategy.
- Monitor the statistics dashboard to track performance (total trades, win/loss ratio, win percentage).
4. **Alerts**: Set up alerts for BOS, MSS, buy, sell, or exit signals using the provided alert conditions.

MTF Stoch RSI Confluence + Combined AlertMTF STOCH RSI CONFLUENCE INDICATOR 1m/5m/15m ( Scalping Indicator added on SRSI 1H)
IF all three Stoch are overbought(above 80) the indicator creates a red vertical line. If all Stoch are oversold(below 20) the indicator creates a green vertical line.
RULES!!!!
NEVER TRADE AGAINST THE TREND!!! This is super important!!!!
If 1H SRSI is above 80 with MTF overbouht and ZC is red (Downtrend) then we open a MR Short- (Prefered at PA Spikes) The same for opposites MR Longs.
If 1H SRSI is above 80 with the MTF oversold and ZC green then we can open a Long position. Prefered Momo Long. The same applies for opposite, hence momo short.
Midpoint of Last 3 CandlesThis indicator highlights the market structure by plotting the midpoints of the current and previous two candles. It draws a horizontal line at the average of the high and low for each of these candles, giving a visual cue of the short-term balance point in price action. These midpoints can act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders assess areas of potential reaction or continuation.
Each line is color-coded for clarity: green represents the current candle, orange marks the previous candle, and yellow indicates the one before that. All lines extend into the future on the chart, allowing you to see how price interacts with these levels as new candles form. This simple yet effective tool can be useful in various strategies, especially those focused on price action, scalping, or intraday analysis.

Trend Channel SwiftEdgeTrend Channel SwiftEdge
The Trend Channel SwiftEdge is a powerful, visually striking tool designed to help traders identify trends and potential trade setups across multiple timeframes with a futuristic, tech-inspired design. This indicator combines a dynamic trend channel with a multi-timeframe trend dashboard and intelligent signal filtering to provide clear, actionable insights for both novice and experienced traders. Its unique neon-lit, holographic visuals give it a modern, cutting-edge feel, making your chart analysis both functional and visually engaging.
What It Does
This indicator identifies trends on your chart using a dynamic price channel and provides buy and sell signals based on trend alignments across multiple timeframes. It also features a dashboard that displays the trend direction (Up, Down, or Neutral) for six timeframes: 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day. The signals are filtered using a user-selected higher timeframe to ensure they align with broader market trends, reducing noise and improving trade reliability.
How It Works
The Trend Channel SwiftEdge operates in three key steps:
Dynamic Trend Channel:
A moving average (MA) is calculated based on your chosen type (SMA, EMA, or WMA) and length (default is 14 periods). This MA forms the backbone of the trend channel.
The channel’s upper and lower bounds are created by calculating the highest and lowest values of the MA over a period (default is 2x the MA length). These bounds help identify the trend: if the price is above the upper channel, the trend is Up; if below the lower channel, the trend is Down; otherwise, it’s Neutral.
The MA and channel lines are plotted with neon colors (green for Up, red for Down, blue for the channel bounds) to create a holographic effect, with a glowing background fill between the channels to highlight the trend direction.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard:
The indicator analyzes trends across six timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D1) using the same trend channel logic.
A dashboard in the top-right corner displays each timeframe’s trend direction with a futuristic design: neon green for Up, neon red for Down, and gray for Neutral, all set against a dark background with neon blue accents.
Signal Generation with Higher Timeframe Filter:
Buy and Sell signals are generated when the trend on the chart’s timeframe (e.g., 1M) aligns with a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 15M).
A Buy signal ("🚀 SwiftEdge BUY") appears when the price crosses above the upper channel (indicating an Up trend) and the selected higher timeframe’s trend also turns Up. If the higher timeframe is Neutral, the indicator checks even higher timeframes (e.g., 1H and 4H for a 15M filter) to confirm the trend direction.
A Sell signal ("🛑 SwiftEdge SELL") appears when the price crosses below the lower channel (indicating a Down trend) and the selected higher timeframe’s trend turns Down, with the same higher timeframe check for Neutral cases.
Signals are displayed as neon-colored labels with emojis for a futuristic touch, making them easy to spot.
Why This Combination?
The combination of a dynamic trend channel, multi-timeframe analysis, and signal filtering in Trend Channel SwiftEdge is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market trends while reducing false signals. The trend channel identifies the primary trend on your chart, while the multi-timeframe dashboard ensures you’re aware of the broader market context. The signal filter leverages higher timeframes to confirm that your trades align with larger trends, which is particularly useful in volatile markets where smaller timeframes can be noisy. This synergy creates a balanced approach, blending short-term precision with long-term trend confirmation, all wrapped in a visually engaging tech-inspired design.
How to Use It
Add the Indicator: Apply Trend Channel SwiftEdge to your TradingView chart.
Customize Settings:
SwiftEdge Moving Average Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or WMA (default is EMA) to adjust the trend channel’s sensitivity.
SwiftEdge MA Length: Set the period for the moving average (default is 14).
SwiftEdge Signal Filter Timeframe: Select a higher timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D1) to filter signals (default is 15M). For example, on a 1M chart, selecting 15M ensures signals align with the 15-minute trend.
Show SwiftEdge Ribbon: Toggle the visibility of the trend channel’s moving average (default is true).
Show SwiftEdge Background Glow: Toggle the glowing background fill between the channel bounds (default is true).
Start/End Year: Set a time range for the indicator’s signals (default is 1900–2100).
Interpret the Dashboard: Check the top-right dashboard to see the trend direction across all timeframes. Use this to understand the broader market context.
Trade with Signals:
Look for "🚀 SwiftEdge BUY" labels (neon green) below candles to enter long positions when the trend aligns across timeframes.
Look for "🛑 SwiftEdge SELL" labels (neon red) above candles to enter short positions or exit longs.
Ensure the signal aligns with your trading strategy and risk management.
What Makes It Original?
Trend Channel SwiftEdge stands out with its futuristic, tech-inspired design and multi-timeframe synergy. Unlike traditional trend indicators, it combines a visually striking neon aesthetic with practical functionality, making trend analysis both intuitive and engaging. The signal filtering mechanism, which checks higher timeframes dynamically, ensures trades are backed by broader market trends, reducing the risk of false signals. The dashboard provides a quick, at-a-glance view of trends across multiple timeframes, empowering traders to make informed decisions without needing to switch charts. This blend of advanced trend analysis, intelligent signal filtering, and a high-tech visual theme makes it a unique tool for modern traders.
Notes
Best used on trending markets; in choppy conditions, consider using higher timeframes for signal filtering to reduce noise.
Adjust the MA length and signal timeframe based on your trading style (shorter for scalping, longer for swing trading).

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
