Advanced Candlestick Pattern DetectorWhat Does This Indicator Do?
This indicator looks at the way price moves in the market using candlesticks (those red and green bars you see on charts). It tries to find special patterns like Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, Doji, and others. When one of these patterns shows up, the indicator checks a bunch of filters to decide if the pattern is strong enough to be a signal to buy or sell.
The Main Parts of the Indicator
1. Candlestick Pattern Detection
Bullish Engulfing:
Imagine you see a small down candle (red) and then a big up candle (green) that completely “covers” the red one. That’s a bullish engulfing pattern. It can signal that buyers are taking over.
Bearish Engulfing:
The opposite of bullish engulfing. A small up candle (green) is followed by a big down candle (red) that covers the previous candle. This suggests sellers might be in control.
Hammer & Shooting Star:
Hammer: A candle with a very short body and a long shadow at the bottom. It shows that buyers stepped in after a drop.
Shooting Star:
Similar to the hammer but with a long shadow on top. It can indicate that sellers are starting to push the price down.
Doji:
A candle with almost no body. This means the opening and closing prices are very close. It shows indecision in the market.
Harami Patterns (Bullish & Bearish):
These are two-candle patterns where the second candle is completely inside the body of the first candle. They signal that the previous trend might be about to change.
Morning Star & Evening Star:
These are three-candle patterns.
Morning Star:
Often seen at the bottom of a downtrend, it can signal a reversal to an uptrend.
Evening Star:
Seen at the top of an uptrend, it can signal that the price may soon go down.
2. Filters: Making the Signals Smarter
The indicator doesn’t just rely on patterns. It uses several “filters” to decide if a pattern is strong enough to trade on. Here’s what each filter does:
a. Adaptive Thresholds (ATR-Based)
What It Is:
The indicator uses something called ATR (Average True Range) to see how much the price is moving (volatility).
How It Works:
Instead of using fixed numbers to decide if a candle is a Hammer or a Doji, it adjusts these numbers based on current market activity.
User Settings:
Use Adaptive Thresholds: Turn this on to let the indicator adjust automatically.
Body Factor, Shadow Factor, Doji Factor: These numbers are multipliers that decide how small or big the body and shadows of the candle should be. You can change them if you want the indicator to be more or less sensitive.
b. Volume Filter
What It Is:
Volume shows how many trades are happening.
How It Works:
The filter checks if the current volume is higher than the average volume (multiplied by a set factor). This helps ensure that the signal isn’t coming from a very quiet market.
User Settings:
Use Volume Filter: Turn this on if you want to ignore signals when there’s not much trading.
Volume MA Period & Volume Multiplier: These settings determine what “normal” volume is and how much higher the current volume must be to count.
c. Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter
What It Is:
This filter looks at a bigger picture by using a moving average (MA) from a higher timeframe (for example, daily charts).
How It Works:
For a bullish (buy) signal, the indicator checks if the price is above this MA.
For a bearish (sell) signal, the price must be below the MA.
User Settings:
Use Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter: Enable or disable this filter.
Higher Timeframe for Trend: Choose which timeframe (like Daily) to use.
Trend MA Type (SMA or EMA) & Trend MA Period: Choose the type of moving average and how many candles to average.
d. Additional Trend Filters (ADX & RSI)
ADX Filter:
What It Is:
ADX stands for Average Directional Index. It measures how strong a trend is.
How It Works:
If the ADX is above a certain threshold, it means the trend is strong.
User Setting:
ADX Threshold: Set the minimum strength the trend should have.
RSI Filter:
What It Is:
RSI (Relative Strength Index) tells you if the price is overbought (too high) or oversold (too low).
How It Works:
For a buy signal, RSI should be low (under a set threshold).
For a sell signal, RSI should be high (above a set threshold).
User Settings:
RSI Buy Threshold & RSI Sell Threshold: These set the levels for buying or selling.
3. How the Final Signal Is Determined
For a signal (buy or sell) to be generated, the indicator first checks if one of the candlestick patterns is present. Then it goes through all these filters (trend, volume, ADX, RSI). Only if everything is in line will it show:
A BUY signal when all bullish conditions are met.
A SELL signal when all bearish conditions are met.
4. Visual Elements on the Chart
Trend MA Line:
A blue line is drawn on your chart showing the moving average from the higher timeframe (if you enable the trend filter). This helps you see the overall direction of the market.
Labels on the Chart:
When a signal is detected, you’ll see:
A BUY label below the candle (green).
A SELL label above the candle (red).
Background Colors:
The chart background might change slightly (green for bullish and red for bearish) to give you a quick visual cue.
Histogram:
At the bottom, there is a histogram that shows +1 for bullish signals, -1 for bearish signals, and 0 when there’s no clear signal.
5. Alerts
Alerts are built into the indicator so you can get a notification when a signal appears. The alert messages are fixed strings, meaning they always say something like “BUY signal on at price .” You can set up these alerts in TradingView to be notified via sound, email, or pop-up.
How to Use and Adjust the Filters
Deciding on Patterns:
You can choose which candlestick patterns you want to detect by toggling the options (e.g., Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, etc.).
Adjusting Adaptive Thresholds:
If you feel that the indicator is too sensitive (or not sensitive enough) during volatile times, adjust the Body Factor, Shadow Factor, and Doji Factor. These change how the indicator recognizes different candle shapes based on market movement.
Volume Filter Settings:
Use Volume Filter:
Turn this on if you want to ignore signals when there’s not enough trading activity.
Adjust the Volume MA Period and Volume Multiplier to change what “normal” volume is for your chart.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Filter Settings:
Choose a higher timeframe (like Daily) to see the bigger picture trend. Select the type of moving average (SMA or EMA) and its period. This filter ensures you only trade in the direction of the overall trend.
ADX & RSI Filters:
ADX:
Adjust the ADX Threshold if you want to change the minimum strength of the trend needed for a signal.
RSI:
Set the RSI Buy Threshold (for oversold conditions) and RSI Sell Threshold (for overbought conditions) to refine when a signal is valid.
Summary
This indicator is like having a smart assistant that not only looks for specific price patterns (candlesticks) but also checks if the overall market conditions are right using several filters. By combining:
Pattern Detection
Adaptive thresholds (based on ATR)
Volume Checks
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis
Additional Trend Strength and Overbought/Oversold Indicators (ADX & RSI)
...it helps you decide if it might be a good time to buy or sell. You can customize each part to fit your trading style, and with the built-in alerts, you can be notified when everything lines up.
Feel free to adjust the settings to see how each filter changes the signals on your chart. Experimenting with these will help you learn how the market behaves and how you can best use the indicator for your own strategy!
AMD Session Structure Levels# Market Structure & Manipulation Probability Indicator
## Overview
This advanced indicator is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to analyzing market structure, identifying manipulation, and assessing probability-based trade setups. It incorporates four core components:
### 1. Session Price Action Analysis
- Tracks **OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close)** within defined sessions.
- Implements a **dual tracking system**:
- **Official session levels** (fixed from the session open to close).
- **Real-time max/min tracking** to differentiate between temporary spikes and real price acceptance.
### 2. Market Manipulation Detection
- Identifies **manipulative price action** using the relationship between the open and close:
- If **price closes below open** → assumes **upward manipulation**, followed by **downward distribution**.
- If **price closes above open** → assumes **downward manipulation**, followed by **upward distribution**.
- Normalized using **ATR**, ensuring adaptability across different volatility conditions.
### 3. Probability Engine
- Tracks **historical wick ratios** to assess trend vs. reversal conditions.
- Calculates **conditional probabilities** for price moves.
- Uses a **special threshold system (0.45 and 0.03)** for reversal signals.
- Provides **real-time probability updates** to enhance trade decision-making.
### 4. Market Condition Classification
- Classifies market conditions using a **wick-to-body ratio**:
```pine
wick_to_body_ratio = open > close ? upper_wick / (high - low) : lower_wick / (high - low)
```
- **Low ratio (<0.25)** → Likely a **trend day**.
- **High ratio (>0.25)** → Likely a **range day**.
---
## Why This Indicator Stands Out
### ✅ Smarter Level Detection
- Uses **ATR-based dynamic levels** instead of static support/resistance.
- Differentiates **manipulation from distribution** for better decision-making.
- Updates probabilities **in real-time**.
### ✅ Memory-Efficient Design
- Implements **circular buffers** to maintain efficiency:
```pine
var float manipUp = array.new_float(lookbackPeriod, 0.0)
var float manipDown = array.new_float(lookbackPeriod, 0.0)
```
- Ensures **constant memory usage**, even over extended trading sessions.
### ✅ Advanced Probability Calculation
- Utilizes **conditional probabilities** instead of simple averages.
- Incorporates **market context** through wick analysis.
- Provides **actionable signals** via a probability table.
---
## Trading Strategy Guide
### **Best Entry Setups**
✅ Wait for **price to approach manipulation levels**.
✅ Confirm using the **probability table**.
✅ Check the **wick ratio for context**.
✅ Enter when **conditional probability aligns**.
### **Smart Exit Management**
✅ Use **distribution levels** as **profit targets**.
✅ Scale out **when probabilities shift**.
✅ Monitor **wick percentiles** for confirmation.
### **Risk Management**
✅ Size positions based on **probability readings**.
✅ Place stops at **manipulation levels**.
✅ Adjust position size based on **trend vs. range classification**.
---
## Configuration Tips
### **Session Settings**
```pine
sessionTime = input.session("0830-1500", "Session Hours")
weekDays = input.string("23456", "Active Days")
```
- Match these to your **primary trading session**.
- Adjust for different **market opens** if needed.
### **Analysis Parameters**
```pine
lookbackPeriod = input.int(50, "Lookback Period")
low_threshold = input.float(0.25, "Trend/Range Threshold")
```
- **50 periods** is a good starting point but can be optimized per instrument.
- The **0.25 threshold** is ideal for most markets but may need adjustments.
---
## Market Structure Breakdown
### **Trend/Continuation Days**
- **Characteristics:**
✅ Small **opposing wicks** (minimal counter-pressure).
✅ Clean, **directional price movement**.
- **Bullish Trend Day Example:**
✅ Small **lower wicks** (minimal downward pressure).
✅ Strong **closes near the highs** → **Buyers in control**.
- **Bearish Trend Day Example:**
✅ Small **upper wicks** (minimal upward pressure).
✅ Strong **closes near the lows** → **Sellers in control**.
### **Reversal Days**
- **Characteristics:**
✅ **Large opposing wicks** → Failed momentum in the initial direction.
- **Bullish Reversal Example:**
✅ **Large upper wick early**.
✅ **Strong close from the lows** → **Sellers failed to maintain control**.
- **Bearish Reversal Example:**
✅ **Large lower wick early**.
✅ **Weak close from the highs** → **Buyers failed to maintain control**.
---
## Summary
This indicator systematically quantifies market structure by measuring **manipulation, distribution, and probability-driven trade setups**. Unlike traditional indicators, it adapts dynamically using **ATR, historical probabilities, and real-time tracking** to offer a structured, data-driven approach to trading.

FVG Chain (Consecutive Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)This indicator detects fair value gaps that are created out of the touch of older fair value gaps, hence creating an "FVG chain".
It counts +1 for the chain whenever a new price leg's FVG is touched.
You can use the current FVG Chain count, as well as the high, low, and price leg high/low of the current FVG as input source in external indicators. Check the data window to see the plot values.
How FVGs are detected:
Bullish: The low of the current confirmed bar is above the high of 2 bars back.
Bearish: The high of the current confirmed bar is below the low of 2 bars back.
A bullish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg low is broken.
The previous bar closed below the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed below the previous bar.
A bearish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg high is broken.
The previous bar closed above the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed above the previous bar.
Supply and Demand Plus [tambangEA]The Supply and Demand Plus is an advanced version of the highly-regarded Supply and Demand indicator
Designed to offer additional functionality for professional traders. Building on the core features of the original script, the "Plus" version incorporates enhanced zone selection capabilities and multi-timeframe Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This makes it a versatile tool for those who seek to refine their trading strategies using supply and demand principles while integrating trend-following techniques.
🔹 New Capabilities in Supply and Demand Plus
1. Customizable Zone Selection:
Users can now choose which specific zones to display on the chart:
Continuation Trader
-Rally-Base-Rally (RBR): Bullish continuation zones.
-Drop-Base-Drop (DBD): Bearish continuation zones.
Contrarian Trader
-Drop-Base-Rally (DBR): Bullish reversal zones.
-Rally-Base-Drop (RBD): Bearish reversal zones.
This feature allows traders to filter the zones relevant to their strategy, reducing chart clutter and enhancing focus.
2. Multi-Timeframe EMAs:
🔹 The Meeting Zone: "Base"
-The meeting zone is where supply meets demand, often referred to as the equilibrium price range. In this range:
-Sellers are willing to sell at prices buyers are willing to pay.
-Trading volume is usually higher as transactions occur more frequently.
-On the candle chart, this area may appear as sideways movement (consolidation) or regions with balanced candle sizes and wicks, signaling relative agreement between buyers and sellers.
🔹 Key Observations in Candle Charts
-Breakouts: When prices break out of a meeting zone, they indicate that one side (buyers or sellers) has gained significant control. This can lead to new supply or demand zones.
-Retests: Often, prices return to test these zones (called pullbacks) before continuing in the dominant direction. Retests confirm the strength of a supply or demand zone.
-Volume Spikes: High trading volumes near these zones signify active participation and can validate the importance of the zone.
The indicator includes five Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) that can be plotted across different timeframes simultaneously. This enables traders to:
Track trend strength and direction across multiple timeframes.
Identify dynamic support and resistance levels.
Combine EMA signals with supply and demand zones for confluence-based trading decisions.
EMA Settings:
Fully customizable periods (e.g., EMA 20, 50, 100, etc.).
Adjustable colors and thickness for each EMA.
Multi-timeframe capability to analyze higher or lower timeframes without changing the chart.
🔹 How It Works :
The script works through a series of processes:
1.Zone Identification:
-Uses historical price patterns and pivot levels to map out supply and demand zones.
-Zones dynamically adjust to reflect market conditions, staying relevant to current price action.
-The color of the Zone can be set individually
2.Volume and Market Context:
-Integrates volume analysis to filter out weaker zones.
-Highlights zones with confluence between high volume and price rejections, signaling areas of strong institutional interest.
3.Trend Integration:
-Employs proprietary logic to assess market trends, ensuring that traders only act on zones aligned with broader momentum.
-This feature minimizes counter-trend trades, which are inherently riskier.
4.User Customization:
-Fully customizable zone sensitivity, timeframe settings, and visual preferences allow traders to adapt the tool to their strategy.
Four EMAs in sequence from Chart EMAs to Daily EMA are indicators of a strong trend
The "Base" zone of RBR and DBD supported by Daily EMAs within the zone,
is a strong meeting of buyers and sellers in the past.
Zone can be calibrated how many percent comparison of open close candle to high low candle
the number of candles in Base can be set to the maximum number of candles
🔹 Utility for Traders
The indicator provides a clear roadmap for traders by:
-Identifying high-probability trade zones.
-Confirming entries with volume and trend data.
-Offering actionable insights in both trending and ranging markets.
🔹 Why It Stands Out
Unlike generic supply and demand indicators or trend-following tools, Supply and Demand Plus incorporates an original approach by:
-Seamlessly combining zone identification, volume analysis, and trend confirmation into a single cohesive tool.
-Adapting dynamically to changing market conditions.
-Supporting advanced traders with MTFA, while remaining accessible to beginners with its intuitive design.
Example : Continuation Trader + Retests
The idea is when the "Base" zone occurs, then there is a meeting between buyers and sellers with a large enough volume and will leave a trace in the past.
In accordance with one of the principles in Dow Theory, namely History Repeats Itself, the price will return to the "Base" zone, before continuing the trend

🔹 Update and Versioning
This script is an evolution of previous Supply and Demand tools, incorporating valuable user feedback and innovative features. All future updates, including improvements and new functionalities, will be integrated within this script under the Update feature, ensuring continuity and ease of access for users.
🔹 Conclusion
We believe that success lies in the association of the user with the indicator, opposed to many traders who have the perspective that the indicator itself can make them become profitable. The reality is much more complicated than that.
The aim is to provide an indicator comprehensive, customizable, and intuitive enough that any trader can be led to understand this truth and develop an actionable perspective of technical indicators as support tools for decision making.
🔹 DISCLAIMER/RISK WARNING
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors.

Premium & Discount Delta Volume [BigBeluga]Premium & Discount Delta Volume is an advanced volume-based tool that helps traders identify zones of market imbalances by using the concepts of premium and discount pricing, commonly taught by ICT trader. It calculates and highlights periods where the market is trading at a premium (selling pressure is stronger) or a discount (buying pressure is stronger) and dynamically plots these zones over time. The indicator also calculates delta volume between buying and selling within these zones, showing shifts in market sentiment and potential areas for reversals or continuations.
🔵 IDEA
The Premium & Discount Delta Volume indicator is rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept of premium and discount zones. This concept divides the price action into two key zones:
Premium Zone : This area is where the market is trading at a level where sellers dominate, leading to more selling pressure. The idea is that the price is overvalued, and a potential drop could occur as the market reverts to a balanced state.
Discount Zone : This area is where the market is undervalued, with buyers dominating and applying upward pressure. Prices in this area often indicate opportunities to buy into strength as the market moves back to equilibrium.
At the core of the indicator is the delta volume, which measures the difference between buying and selling pressure within the premium and discount zones. When the delta volume is negative, it signals a downtrend with more selling pressure, while a positive delta volume signals an uptrend with more buying pressure. These zones and their associated delta values update dynamically, providing traders with real-time insights into market strength and potential price reversals.
The equilibrium in the middle of the premium and discount zones represents the balance point between buyers and sellers. When price moves away from equilibrium, it either enters the premium zone (potentially overbought) or the discount zone (potentially oversold), helping traders make more informed decisions based on volume and price structure.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Premium & Discount Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies and plots premium and discount zones on the chart. Premium zones count only negative (selling) volume, while discount zones count only positive (buying) volume. These zones are key areas of interest for identifying potential price reversals or continuations based on volume pressure.
Dynamic Delta Volume Calculation:
The indicator calculates delta volume between the premium and discount zones, showing the imbalance between buyers and sellers. A positive delta volume inside the discount zone suggests strong buying pressure, while a negative delta inside the premium zone suggests strong selling pressure. This helps traders quickly identify trends or market exhaustion.
Up Trend:
Down Trend:
Real-time Updates & Equilibrium Line:
The zones update dynamically every 100 bars or after price crosses them, ensuring that traders always have the most relevant market data. The equilibrium line in the middle of the zones helps traders gauge whether the market is balanced or moving into overbought (premium) or oversold (discount) territory.
Macro and Local Period Calculations:
The indicator allows traders to customize two different periods for analysis: a smaller lookback period (e.g., 50 bars) for short-term price action and a macro period (e.g., 200 bars) for larger trends. Each period has its own premium and discount zones, allowing for a multi-timeframe view of market strength.
Macro:
Both:
Color-coded background for Volume Pressure:
The background color of the smaller period premium and discount box changes based on delta volume. A positive delta turns the background blue, indicating higher buy pressure, while a negative delta turns the background red, signaling higher sell pressure.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Toggle Premium & Discount: Traders can choose to display support and resistance levels based on the high and low points of the premium and discount zones.
Premium & Discount Lookback Period: Traders can adjust the lookback period to define the length of price action to be analyzed for premium and discount zones. A shorter period focuses on more recent market activity, while a longer period provides a broader view of trends.
Macro Highs/Lows Period: The indicator also offers a macro lookback period for identifying larger market trends and key levels of buying or selling volume.
Toggle Macro Levels: Macro levels help identify long-term price extremes, and traders can toggle this feature on or off as needed.
Flat Market Range Pro [CHE]Flat Market Range Pro Indicator
Introduction
Hey there! 👋
Welcome to our overview of the Flat Market Range Pro indicator. Whether you're new to trading or a seasoned pro, this tool is designed to help you spot those flat market conditions where prices are chilling within a certain range. By highlighting these consolidation zones and potential breakout points, it offers some pretty neat insights to boost your trading strategies. Let’s dive in and explore how this indicator can make your trading journey smoother and more informed!
How It Works
The Flat Market Range Pro indicator is all about understanding the ebb and flow of the market. Here's a simple breakdown:
Range Detection:
Range Period (range_period): This sets the number of bars (think of them as time slices) the indicator looks back to find the highest highs and lowest lows. It’s like setting the scope for your search.
Minimum Candles in Range (min_candles_in_range): Ensures that there are enough candles (price bars) within the range to make the detection meaningful. No point in highlighting a range if it’s too short, right?
Adaptive Moving Average (AMA):
Think of AMA as the indicator’s way of staying flexible. It smooths out the price data to better spot trends within those flat ranges. Don’t worry, it’s working behind the scenes and won’t clutter your chart.
Breakout Detection:
When the price decides to break free from its cozy range, the indicator flags it. It waits for confirmation to make sure it’s not just a fleeting move, adding a layer of reliability to your signals.
Visualization:
Flat Market Zones: These are shaded areas that highlight where the price has been consolidating.
Support and Resistance Lines: Automatically drawn lines that mark key price levels, helping you see where the price might bounce or break through.
Trade Signals: Arrows popping up to show potential buy or sell opportunities when breakouts occur.
Breaking It Down
1. Detecting the Range
The indicator scans through the past range_period bars to find the highest and lowest prices. This creates a dynamic range that adjusts as new data comes in. It’s like having a smart assistant keeping an eye on where the action is happening.
2. The Role of AMA
Even though you won’t see AMA on your chart, it plays a crucial role. It helps the indicator adapt to changing market conditions by smoothing out the data, making sure the breakout signals are spot-on and not just random noise.
3. Spotting Breakouts
A breakout happens when the price moves beyond the established range. The indicator marks these moments with clear arrows, so you know when it might be a good time to jump in or out of a trade. Plus, it waits for confirmation to ensure these signals are solid.
4. Visualizing Flat Markets
Shaded boxes highlight the areas where the price has been consolidating, making it easy to see when the market is flat. Support and resistance lines are drawn automatically, and you can even customize how they look to match your personal style.

Change the ma_length and ma_lookback to fine-tune how the AMA responds to price movements.
Visual Tweaks:
Pick your favorite colors and transparency levels for the shaded zones.
Choose whether to display support and resistance lines and extend them indefinitely if you like.
Toggle trade arrows and labels on or off based on what you find most helpful.
Organizing these settings into logical groups makes it super easy to customize the indicator just the way you like it.
Real-World Examples
1. Spotting Consolidation: Imagine you’re watching a stock that’s been moving sideways for a while. The indicator highlights this consolidation with shaded boxes and support/resistance lines, giving you a clear picture of where the price is hanging out.
2. Trading Breakouts: When the price finally decides to break free from the range, the indicator pops up buy or sell arrows. This helps you catch the move early, whether you’re looking to enter a new trade or exit an existing one.
3. Making Informed Decisions: With clear visual cues and reliable signals, you can make smarter trading decisions without getting overwhelmed by too much information.

Liquidity Zones [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to detect liquidity zones on the chart by identifying significant pivot highs and lows filtered by volume strength. It plots these zones as boxes, highlighting areas where liquidity is likely to accumulate. The indicator also draws lines extending from these boxes, marking the levels where price may "grab" this liquidity. The size of these boxes can be dynamic, adjusting based on the volume size, offering a visual representation of market areas where traders might expect significant price reactions.
🔵 IDEA
The idea behind the Liquidity Zones indicator is to help traders identify key market levels where liquidity accumulates. Liquidity zones are areas where there are enough buy or sell orders that can potentially lead to significant price movements. By focusing on pivot points filtered by volume strength, the indicator aims to provide a clearer picture of where large players may have positioned their orders. This insight allows traders to anticipate potential market reactions, such as reversals or breakouts, when the price reaches these zones. The option for dynamic box height further refines the visualization, showing the extent of liquidity based on the volume's intensity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Volume-Filtered Pivot Highs and Lows:
The indicator scans for pivot highs and lows on the chart, filtering these points based on the volume strength setting (Low, Mid, High). This ensures that only the most significant liquidity zones, backed by notable trading volume, are highlighted. Traders can adjust the filter to focus on different levels of market activity, from small fluctuations to major volume spikes.
Low:
Mid:
High:
◉ Dynamic and Static Liquidity Zones:
Liquidity zones are plotted as boxes around pivot points, with an optional dynamic mode that adjusts the box height based on the normalized volume. This dynamic adjustment reflects the liquidity carried by the volume, making it easier to gauge the significance of each zone. In static mode, the boxes have a fixed height, providing a consistent visual reference for the zones.
◉ Color Intensity Based on Volume:
The indicator adjusts the color intensity of the liquidity zones based on the volume strength. Higher volume zones will be displayed with more intense colors, giving a visual cue to the strength of the liquidity present in that area. This makes it easier to differentiate between zones of varying importance at a glance, allowing traders to quickly identify where the market has the highest concentration of liquidity.
◉ Liquidity Grab Detection and Red Circles:
When the price interacts with a liquidity zone, the indicator detects whether liquidity has been "grabbed" at these levels. If the price moves into a zone and crosses a level, the box label changes to "Liquidity Grabbed," and the line marking the level becomes dashed.
Reversal Points:
The beginning of a trend:
Additionally marks these "liquidity grabs" with red circles, indicating both recent and past liquidity grabs. This feature helps traders identify areas where liquidity has been absorbed by the market, which may signal potential reversals or shifts in market direction.
◉ Dashboard Display:
A dashboard in the upper right corner of the chart provides an overview of the indicator's settings and status. It shows the number of plotted zones, as set in the input settings, and whether the dynamic mode is active. This quick reference helps traders stay informed about the indicator's configuration without needing to open the settings panel.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Length & Zones Amount: Set the length for pivot detection and the maximum number of zones to be displayed on the chart. This allows you to control how many liquidity zones you want to monitor at any given time.
Volume Strength Filter: Adjust the filter to Low, Mid, or High to control the strength of volume required for a pivot to be considered a significant liquidity zone. Higher settings focus on zones with greater volume, indicating stronger liquidity.
Dynamic Distance Mode: Enable or disable the dynamic mode, which adjusts the box height based on the volume size. When dynamic mode is off, the boxes have a fixed height based on the ATR, offering a consistent visualization regardless of the volume size.
The Liquidity Zones indicator is a versatile tool for identifying areas of significant market activity, offering a clear view of where liquidity is likely to reside. By filtering these zones through volume strength and providing dynamic or static visualization options, it equips traders with insights into potential market reaction points, enhancing their ability to anticipate and respond to market movements. The varying color intensity based on volume further aids in quickly recognizing the most critical liquidity zones on the chart.
Fair Value Gap & Gap Profile [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to help traders identify and utilize fair value gaps on price charts and analyze volume at these points. These gaps, formed by significant price movements, can act as key support and resistance levels. The indicator enhances trading strategies by visually representing these gaps, making it easier for traders to spot potential entry and exit points.
⦿ What Is A Fair Value Gap?
Before diving into the practical use of the Fair Value Gap in trading, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what it is and how to identify it on your charts. The Fair Value Gap, or FVG , is a widely utilized tool among price action traders to detect market inefficiencies or imbalances. Sometimes you will even see them labeled as inefficiencies by other traders. These imbalances arise when buying or selling pressure is significant, resulting in a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.
The idea behind FVGs is that the market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies in the market before continuing in the same direction as the initial impulsive move. FVGs are important since traders can achieve an edge in the market. Price action traders can also use these imbalances as entry or exit points in the market.
By visually representing gaps and their profile, the Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Gap Profile indicator provides a historical overview of gaps within a specified lookback period, showing the distribution and density of gaps across different price levels. This insight helps traders identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
⦿ Key Features:
● Gap Detection and Visualization:
- Identifies Bullish and Bearish Gaps: Highlights gaps where the price moved significantly up or down along with a volume. Intensivity of color show strength of FVG by volume
- Filter for Significant Gaps: Allows users to filter out insignificant gaps, ensuring only relevant gaps are displayed.
● Customizable Display Options:
- Shows Filled Gaps: Option to display gaps that have been filled, aiding in the analysis of historical price movements.
- Displays Filled Gap Levels: Highlights the levels of filled gaps.
● Gap Profile:
Gap Profile Insight: The Gap Profile feature shows the distribution of gaps over a specified lookback period. High points on the FVG Profile indicate areas with a significant number of gaps in the past. These high points are signs of low resistance for price movement. Consequently, at these points, the price tends to move more easily without encountering strong resistance. Traders can use this information to identify potential breakout or breakdown zones where price action is likely to be more fluid.
● Grab Liquidity Detection:
- Collect liquidity Signals: Plots markers on the chart where price interacts with gap levels, providing potential trade signals based on liquidity.
⦿ How Traders Can Use This Indicator:
- Plan Trades: Use gaps as potential entry and exit points, based on whether the price is approaching, filling, or moving away from a gap.
- Analyze Market Trends: Understand historical price movements by analyzing filled gaps and their impact on current price action.
- Analyze Gap Profile: Identify zones where the price tends to move more fluidly, often encountering less resistance. High points on the Gap Profile indicate areas where gaps have occurred frequently in the past, which could serve as potential breakout or breakdown zones.
- Price imbalance: market will eventually come back to these inefficiencies and fill them. inefficiencies or imbalances in the market usually act as a magnet for price.
By incorporating the Fair Value Gap & Gap Profile indicator into their trading strategy, traders can gain a clearer understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Institutional Activity Index [AlgoAlpha]🌟 Introducing the Institutional Activity Index by AlgoAlpha 🌟
Welcome to a powerful new indicator designed to gauge institutional trading activity! This cutting-edge tool combines volume analysis with price movement to derive a unique index that shines a spotlight on potential institutional moves in the market. 🎯📈
Key Features:
🔍 Normalization Period : Adjust the look-back period for normalization to tailor the sensitivity to your trading strategy.
📊 Moving Average Types : Choose from SMA, HMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, or VWMA to smooth the index and pinpoint trends.
🌈 Color-Coded Trends : Instant visual feedback on index trend direction with customizable up and down colors.
🔔 Alerts : Set alerts for when the index shows increasing activity, decreasing activity, or has reached a peak.
Quick Guide to Using the Institutional Activity Index:
1. 📝 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites. Adjust the normalization period, MA type, and peak detection settings to match your trading style.
2. 📈 Market Analysis: Similar to volume that reflects the amount of collective trading activity, this index reflects an estimate of the amount of trading activity by institutions. A higher value means that institutions are trading the asset more, this can mean selling or buying as the indicator does not indicate direction . Look out for peak signals, which may indicate that institutions have already secured positions in preparation for a move in price.
3. 🔔 Set Alerts: Enable alerts to notify you when there is a significant change in the activity levels or a new peak is detected, allowing for timely decisions without constant monitoring.
How It Works: 🛠
It is common knowledge that institutions trade with high amounts of capital, but employ tactics so as to not move the price significantly when entering on positions. This can be done by entering in times of high liquidity so that when an institution buys, there are enough sellers to cancel out the price movements and prevent a huge pump in price and vice versa. The Institutional Activity Index calculates liquidity by measuring the volume relative to the price range (close-open). This value is smoothed using median and a user defined moving average type and period, enhancing its clarity. If normalization is enabled, the index is adjusted relative to its range over a user-defined period, making the data comparable across different conditions.

Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.

Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Utilization in Trading:
Comprehensive Analysis: By incorporating multiple timeframes, traders gain a holistic view of market dynamics, enabling them to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various horizons.
Contextual Understanding: Timeframe labels within zones provide context, helping traders understand the significance of each level in relation to different timeframes and market conditions.
Real-time Adaptability: Visual zone updates facilitate real-time analysis, allowing traders to adjust their strategies promptly in response to changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-making: By considering zone hits, traders can assess the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Customized Analysis: Adjustable parameters such as lookback, swinglength, and sensitivity empower traders to tailor the analysis to their individual trading styles and preferences, enhancing precision and effectiveness.
In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
Inversion Fair Value Gap Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW

Features of the new Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Screener :
Find Latest Inverse Fair Value Gaps Across 5 Tickers
Shows Their Information Of :
Latest Status
Number Of Retests
Consumption Percent
Volume
Customizable Algorithm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
This screener then finds Fair Value Gaps across 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the IFVG.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the IFVG, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the IFVG.
Retests -> Retest means the price tried to invalidate the IFVG, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the IFVG.
Consumed -> IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. For example, if the price hits the middle of the IFVG zone, the zone is considered 50% consumed.
Volume -> Volume of a IFVG is essentially the volume of the bar that broke the original FVG that formed it.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest Inverse Fair Value Gaps and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener also uniquely shows information about the number of retests and the consumed percent of the IFVG, as well as it's volume. We believe that this extra information will help you spot reliable IFVGs easier.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan Fair Value Gaps here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
2. General Configuration

ICT Unicorn Model [LuxAlgo]The ICT Unicorn Model indicator highlights the presence of "unicorn" patterns on the user's chart which is derived from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) .
Detected patterns are followed by targets with a distance controlled by the user.
🔶 USAGE
At its core, the ICT Unicorn Model relies on two popular concepts, Fair Value Gaps and Breaker Blocks. This combination highlights a future area of support/resistance.
A Bullish Unicorn Pattern consists out of:
A Lower Low (LL), followed by a Higher High (HH)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern.
A Bearish Unicorn Pattern consists of:
A Higher High (HH), followed by a Lower Low (LL)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern
The pattern detection depends on detected swings, which can be controlled by the Swing setting. Using higher values of this setting will return longer-term breaker blocks.
🔹 Using Risk/Reward Targets
A confirmed Unicorn pattern will show a blue ( Target ) / grey ( Stop Loss) "Risk/Reward" areas (RR).
When the Stop Loss or Target is hit, a white line is shown on the concerned side.
The Risk/Reward ratio can be adjusted in the "Targets" settings.
🔹 Trailing Stop
As seen in the previous snapshots, besides the RR areas, this indicator also includes an optional Trailing Stop .
This can be helpful to lower your risk, by exiting earlier than if you would wait until the Stop Loss is hit.
This example shows a successful bullish and bearish Unicorn Pattern . In this scenario, the Trailing Stop could be used for partial Take Profit.
The goal of this publication is to show confirmed Unicorn Patterns . To increase the chance of success, it is important to evaluate the bigger picture & use this in confluence with your price action analysis. For example, look for potential areas of liquidity, consider this pattern only during certain market sessions, avoid trading during heavy impact news, &/or incorporate other aspects of technical analysis rather than just following this pattern blindly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Combine
When disabled, all potential Unicorn Patterns will delete previous unconfirmed patterns:
Enabling Combine ensures the last Unicorn Patterns in the opposite direction will remain.
While the latter bullish pattern became invalid, another one formed.
The combination of the previous bearish pattern, and looking at the big picture, the bullish pattern did not have much chance to be successful.
While disabling 'combine' helps minimize clutter, enabling this feature can give a pattern more chance to hit the SL/Target level.
🔹 Mitigated FVG
Users can determine if a pattern becomes invalid due to a mitigated FVG, causing the pattern to be deleted.
🔹 New pattern detected
When a new pattern is detected, the previous unconfirmed pattern in the same direction (bullish - bullish or bearish - bearish) will be deleted. This will always be the case, whether "Combine' is enabled or disabled.
When the previous pattern was confirmed but no SL or Target level was hit, this pattern will stop updating.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Unicorn
Swings: This sets the length of swings, used for the underlying ZigZag and Unicorn Patterns detection.
Bull: Enable/disable Bullish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Bear: Enable/disable Bearish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Combine: When enabled, patterns in opposite directions (bullish/bearish) can exist at the same time. disabling this feature tends to give less clutter. See the "Usage" section for more information.
🔹 Targets
Risk/Reward: Sets the Risk/Reward ratio.
Trailing Stop: Set the length of small swings, which is used for the Trailing Stop .
itradesize /\ IPDA Look Back - for any timeframeThe script automatically calculates the 20-40-60 look-back periods and their premium and discount ranges.
The base concept is from ICT’s IPDA which should be applied to the daily timeframe but now you can use that same concept on the lower timeframes .
The higher the timeframes you use the more reliable it will be ( when we are talking about lower timeframes than Daily ).
- With the use of the indicator you can apply it on any timeframe with ease.
- You can customize the coloring of premium & discount, frame lines, and even the look of it.
- Hide or show the EQ levels
Below the IPDA texts the indicator shows the actual percentage of the selected range based on the current price fluctuations.
The script handles the 20-40-60 days look-back as fractals so it can be applied on lower timeframes.
The basics:
- The Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA): The algorithm creates a shift on the daily chart every 20, 40, and 60 trading days.
- These are the IPDA look-back periods. Every 20 trading days or so there is a new liquidity pool forming on both sides of the market based on ICT concepts.
- Determine the IPDA Data Range of the land 20 trading days.
- Note the highest high & lowest low in the past 20 trading days. Identify the institutional order flow and mark the relevant PD arrays in the selected IPDA look-back period we deemed useful for our trading style.
- This is your current dealing range.
- If the price consolidates for 20 days, consider switching to a 40-day look back.
Inside this dealing range, we look for the next draw on liquidity. Is it reaching for a liquidity pool or is it looking to rebalance at a particular PD Array. This is going to the Bias.
Which IPDA data range should you use?
IPDA20 can be our Short Term range - fit for intraday traders at most
IPDA40 can be our Swing Trade range - have a clear indication of the market profile
IPDA60 can be our range for position trading - have a clear indication of the market profile
Market Structure (Breakers) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Breakers) indicator aims to detect "Breaker Market Structures", an original concept inspired by breaker blocks, and extend on the original concept of market structures by extending existing MS levels, providing supports/resistances as a result.
Various graphical elements are included that highlight the interactions between price and Breaker structures.
🔶 USAGE
Breaker structures occur when a market structure is confirmed (price breaking a previous swing level). The broken swing point is extended by a dotted line which can be used as potential support or resistance.
After a market structure, the price can eventually reverse and break one or multiple breaker structures at the same time, allowing for the detection of new trends in the price.
A market structure closer to the top/bottom of a trend can return Breaker structures breakouts more indicative of potential reversals.
Breakers MS breakouts can also be useful as exits for entries done using market market structures.
The script additionally highlights support/resistance events by highlighting candle borders, with a border using a green color indicating support events while a red color is indicative of a resistance event.
🔹 Breaker Structure Lifespan
The "lifespan" of Breaker structures, that is the amount of time the script will extend/evaluate them is determined by various user settings.
The Maximum Breaks setting determines the maximum amount of breaks a breaker structure can withstand before it is broken.
For example, a maximum amount of breaks of 3 for a bearish breaker structure would require the price to cross under that precise breaker structure level three times. Using higher values of this setting will also highlight more Breakers MS.
The Breaker Maximum Duration setting on the other hand determines how many bars a breaker structure can be evaluated without being broken. If a breaker structure is not broken after this amount of bars then it will stop being evaluated and will be removed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings Period: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer term markter structures.
Maximum Breaks: Amount of break required for a breaker block to be considered broken.
Breaker Maximum Duration: Maximum duration of a breaker block (in bars).
itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing
Classic sell setup:
Classic buy setup:
The indicator has a ton of customizable features, the power of the tool is really in there, as you can find or refine your own model with it. Once you're familiar with your setup you will be really feeling the power of the tool, I promise.
Indicator Features:
• M5/M15/H1/H4/D Time frames
• OHLC bar with an offset (you can have a look at the current HTF bar developing or you can use it as a locked previous bar)
• Current time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines to the current time
• Showing the previous time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines and the ability to add labels. The color of the OHLC or OLHC box is based on the candle closing. If it's a bear candle, if it's a bull candle.
• Previous high time frame open / close lines with labels, customisable colours, label sizes
• It has a lot of customisable features, the power of the tool is really in there as you can find or refine your own model with it.
• Every box and bar automatically switches its colors based on the close of the candle whether it's a bear or a bull candle.
• The color of the labels is switching automatically based on the coloring of your chart.
• You can customize each and every box color - OHLC/OLHC based on your taste, and the open and closing lines of the previous HTF.
Additional Information:
You can combine it with my own model. If you are not familiar with it, you can find here .
Or you can combine it with other frameworks for extra confluences like combining it with Daye’s QT in some simple equation:
Open → Q1 , High → Q2, Low → Q3, Close → Q4
Open → Q1, Low → Q2, High → Q3, Close → Q4
Master Pattern ScreenerMaster Pattern Screener
This is an indicator based on the concept known as the Forex Master Pattern, which contains three phases. The contraction, expansion, and trend phases This indicator, based on your current timeframe, finds out if there is a contraction on 10 symbols that you can customize to suit your needs.
How does it work?
The indicator is a table, and it finds 10 different symbols on the current timeframe that you have selected. Then it does volume and volatility calculations to determine if a contraction is occurring, which is the first phase and probably the most important phase in the FOREX MASTER PATTERN .
This indicator is meant to be used in conjunction with our contraction plotter. We would have placed this indicator in the contraction and expansion plotter, but there were memory limitation issues, so we placed it in a separate indicator.
How traders can use this indicator
The contraction phase is extremely important because once a contraction is occurring, what always happens is an expansion. Some traders will avoid placing trades in the contraction phase, while others will enter to use the momentum for their trades. This indicator just makes it more convenient to identify the contraction phases.
Examples of the indicator:
Things you should know
The symbols can be customized to whatever you want. You can choose your own stocks, cryptocurrencies, currencies, etc.
Make sure that it's exactly the same; if you use, for example, BTCUSDT Coinbase but check on BTCUSDT Binance, then it may show inaccurate results.
Since this script involves a decent amount of calculations, it may not work properly in low timeframes, like anything less than a minute.
