FVG [TakingProphets]🧠 Purpose
This indicator is built for traders applying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It detects and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — price imbalances that often act as future reaction zones. It also highlights New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs) and New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) that frequently play a role in early-session price behavior.
📚 What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap forms when price moves rapidly, skipping over a portion of the chart between three candles — typically between the high of the first candle and the low of the third. These zones are considered inefficient, meaning institutions may return to them later to:
-Rebalance unfilled orders
-Enter or scale into positions
-Engineer liquidity with minimal slippage
In ICT methodology, FVGs are seen as both entry zones and targets, depending on market structure and context.
⚙️ How It Works
-This script automatically identifies and manages valid FVGs using the following logic:
-Bullish FVGs: When the low of the current candle is above the high from two candles ago
-Bearish FVGs: When the high of the current candle is below the body of two candles ago
-Minimum Gap Filter: Gaps must be larger than 0.05% of price
-Combine Consecutive Gaps (optional): Merges adjacent gaps of the same type
-Consequent Encroachment Line (optional): Plots the midpoint of each gap
-NDOG/NWOG Tracking: Labels gaps created during the 5–6 PM session transition
-Automatic Invalidation: Gaps are removed once price closes beyond their boundary
🎯 Practical Use
-Use unmitigated FVGs as potential entry points or targets
-Monitor NDOG and NWOG for context around daily or weekly opens
-Apply the midpoint (encroachment) line for precise execution decisions
-Let the script handle cleanup — only active, relevant zones remain visible
🎨 Customization
-Control colors for bullish, bearish, and opening gaps
-Toggle FVG borders and midpoint lines
-Enable or disable combining of consecutive gaps
-Fully automated zone management, no manual intervention required
✅ Summary
This tool offers a clear, rules-based approach to identifying price inefficiencies rooted in ICT methodology. Whether used for intraday or swing trading, it helps traders stay focused on valid, active Fair Value Gaps while filtering out noise and maintaining chart clarity.

ETF Builder & Backtest System [TradeDots]Create, analyze, and monitor your own custom “ETF-like” portfolio directly on TradingView. This script merges up to 10 different assets with user-defined weightings into a single composite chart, allowing you to see how your personalized portfolio would have performed historically. It is an original tool designed to help traders and investors quickly gauge risk and return profiles without leaving the TradingView platform.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Custom Portfolio Construction
Multiple Assets : Combine up to 10 different stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, or other symbols.
User-Defined Weights : Allocate each asset a percentage weight (e.g., 15% in AAPL, 10% in MSFT, etc.).
Single Composite Value : The script calculates a weighted “ETF-style” price, effectively simulating a merged portfolio curve on your chart.
2. Performance Tracking & Return Analysis
Automatic History Capture : The indicator records each asset’s starting price when it first appears in your chosen date range.
Rolling Updates : As time progresses, all asset prices are continually evaluated and the portfolio value is updated in real time.
Buy & Hold Returns : See how each asset—and the overall portfolio—performed from the “start” date to the most recent bar.
Annualized Return : Automatically calculates CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) to help visualize performance over varying timescales.
3. Table & Visual Output
Performance Table : A comprehensive table displays individual asset returns, annualized returns, and portfolio totals.
Normalized Chart Plot : The composite ETF value is scaled to 100 at the start date, making it easy to compare relative growth or decline.
Optional Time Filter : You can define a specific date range (Start/End Dates) to focus on a particular period or to limit historical data.
⚙️ KEY FEATURES
1. Flexible Asset Selection
Choose any symbols from multiple asset classes. The script will only run calculations when data is available—no need to worry about missing quotes.
2. Dynamic Table Reporting
Start Price for each asset
Percentage Weight in the portfolio
Total Return (%) and Annualized Return (%)
3. Simple Backtesting Logic
This script takes a straightforward Buy & Hold perspective. Once the start date is reached, the portfolio remains static until the end date, so you can quickly assess hypothetical growth.
4. Plot Customization
Toggle the main “ETF” plot on/off.
Alter the visual style for tables and text.
Adjust the time filter to limit or extend your performance measurement window.

Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator# Session Breakouts & Trend Indicator
This indicator identifies high-probability trading opportunities by tracking key intraday sessions and their breakouts while aligning them with the overall market trend direction.
## What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike standard breakout indicators that only identify when price crosses a threshold, this indicator:
- Dynamically identifies and tracks important daily sessions (default: AM 09:00-10:00 and PM 15:00-16:00)
- Determines trend direction using a triple EMA system (20/50/200)
- Shows when breakouts align with the overall trend (higher probability setups)
- Provides visual confirmation with session ranges, breakout levels, and background highlighting
- Includes a comprehensive information panel showing trend/session alignment
## How It Works
The indicator tracks two important daily sessions:
1. **AM Session**: Typically the first hour of trading (default: 09:00-10:00)
2. **PM Session**: Typically the last hour of trading (default: 15:00-16:00)
For each session, it:
- Marks the high and low range
- Establishes breakout levels above/below these ranges
- Detects when price breaks beyond these levels
- Determines if the breakout aligns with the prevailing trend
The trend is calculated using three EMAs (20, 50, 200) for reliable trend identification.
## How To Use
1. Apply the indicator to your chart (works best on 5-minute timeframes)
2. Adjust session times to match your trading schedule if needed
3. Watch for breakouts above session highs (bullish) or below session lows (bearish)
4. Check the information panel to see if the breakout aligns with the trend
5. Enter trades in the direction of trend-aligned breakouts for higher probability setups
6. Set stop losses below the opposite side of the session range
## Settings
- **Session Times**: Customize AM and PM session times
- **EMA Lengths**: Adjust trend determination sensitivity
- **Visualization Options**: Toggle display of sessions, breakouts, and VWAP

Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

1. Volume Imbalance: By separating and comparing buying volume (up candles) from selling volume (down candles), the indicator provides insights into which side is exerting more pressure in the market.
2. Normalized Pressure: The indicator normalizes volume pressure as a percentage of total volume, making it more comparable across different market conditions and instruments.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of pressure in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new pressure extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where pressure has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from volume pressure, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences and market
- Consider overall market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions
- Signals are confirmed by price action and other indicators
DISCLAIMER: This indicator and its signals are intended solely for educational and informational purposes. They do not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk of loss. Always conduct your own analysis and consult with financial professionals before making trading decisions.
[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

AO Smart Scalper – 5M Dynamic SL Edition📈 AO Signals with Fixed and Dynamic SL – Optimized for 5-Minute Charts 📉
This indicator is built for 5-minute timeframe trading, combining powerful momentum signals from the Awesome Oscillator (AO) with both Fixed and Dynamic Stop Loss (SL) levels to enhance trade management and risk control.
✅ Buy/Sell Signals:
The indicator generates clear BUY and SELL signals based on the AO crossing above or below the zero line, helping traders capture momentum shifts early.
🛑 Fixed Stop Loss:
Each trade signal comes with a Fixed SL, calculated based on the high (for shorts) or low (for longs) of the previous candle, with a customizable percentage offset. This SL is plotted with a red line, providing a clear initial risk level.
⚡ Dynamic Stop Loss: Continuous Presence, Strategic Use:
A secondary Dynamic SL line is plotted, which is continuously present on the chart. This dynamic level responds to market conditions and can serve as a trailing stop or key decision point.
💡 Recommended Use: It is recommended to actively start using the Dynamic SL once the trade has moved into profit. This allows protecting obtained profits and minimizing the risk of losses in case of a market reversal.
🛡️ Enhanced Dynamic Stop-Loss Strategy:
🔒 Initial Protection: Utilize the Fixed SL as the initial stop-loss, placed below relevant lows (for longs) or above relevant highs (for shorts), or as provided by the fixed SL indicator.
🛤️ Dynamic Tracking:
🟢 Long Trades: Once in profit, the Dynamic SL will dynamically adjust, moving upwards as higher lows are formed, effectively trailing the price and securing profits.
🔴 Short Trades: Conversely, in short trades, once in profit, the Dynamic SL will move downwards as lower highs are formed, protecting gains.
🔄 Alternatively the dynamic stop loss will follow the dynamic SL line provided by the indicator.
🚪 Exiting Trades: When the price crosses below the Dynamic SL line in a LONG trade, or above it in a SHORT trade, the recommended action is to exit the trade.
↩️ Re-entry Consideration: You may consider re-entering only if the price clearly returns above the Dynamic SL (for longs) or below it (for shorts).
⚠️ IMPORTANT - 5-Minute Strategy Guidance ⏱️
This tool is specifically optimized for the 5-minute timeframe. This approach helps filter out weak setups and maintain discipline in volatile market conditions.
✨ Additional Features:
👁️ Visual and editable SL levels
📊 200-period SMA for trend context
💻 Simple and effective interface for intraday trading setups
🎯 Ideal for traders seeking a clean, rule-based system that combines momentum entry signals with layered stop loss protection.
🔑 Key Changes:
It was emphasized that the Dynamic SL is always present, but its active use is recommended once the trade is in profit.
It was clarified the use of the Fixed SL, giving the option to use the one provided by the indicator, or to place it according to the price action.
Gradient Trend Filter STRATEGY [ChartPrime/PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Gradient Trend Filter indicator developed by ChartPrime. Full credit for the concept and indicator goes to ChartPrime.
The Gradient Trend Filter Strategy is designed to execute trades based on the trend analysis and filtering system provided by the Gradient Trend Filter indicator. It integrates a noise-filtered trend detection system with a color-gradient visualization, helping traders identify trend strength, momentum shifts, and potential reversals.
How the Gradient Trend Filter Strategy Works
1. Noise Filtering for Smoother Trends
To reduce false signals caused by market noise, the strategy applies a three-stage smoothing function to the source price. This function ensures that trend shifts are detected more accurately, minimizing unnecessary trade entries and exits.
The filter is based on an Exponential Moving Average (EMA)-style smoothing technique.
It processes price data in three successive passes, refining the trend signal before generating trade entries.
This filtering technique helps eliminate minor fluctuations and highlights the true underlying trend.
2. Multi-Layered Trend Bands & Color-Based Trend Visualization
The Gradient Trend Filter constructs multiple trend bands around the filtered trend line, acting as dynamic support and resistance zones.
The mid-line changes color based on the trend direction:
Green for uptrends
Red for downtrends
A gradient cloud is formed around the trend line, dynamically shifting colors to provide early warning signals of trend reversals.
The outer bands function as potential support and resistance, helping traders determine stop-loss and take-profit zones.
Visualization elements used in this strategy:
Trend Filter Line → Changes color between green (bullish) and red (bearish).
Trend Cloud → Dynamically adjusts color based on trend strength.
Orange Markers → Appear when a trend shift is confirmed.
Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
This strategy automatically enters trades based on confirmed trend shifts detected by the Gradient Trend Filter.
1. Trade Entry Rules
Long Entry:
A bullish trend shift is detected (trend direction changes to green).
The filtered trend value crosses above zero, confirming upward momentum.
The strategy enters a long position.
Short Entry:
A bearish trend shift is detected (trend direction changes to red).
The filtered trend value crosses below zero, confirming downward momentum.
The strategy enters a short position.
2. Trade Exit Rules
Closing a Long Position:
If a bearish trend shift occurs, the strategy closes the long position.
Closing a Short Position:
If a bullish trend shift occurs, the strategy closes the short position.
The trend shift markers (orange diamonds) act as a confirmation signal, reinforcing the validity of trade entries and exits.
Customization Options
This strategy allows traders to adjust key parameters for flexibility in different market conditions:
Trade Direction: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short .
Trend Length: Modify the length of the smoothing function to adapt to different timeframes.
Line Width & Colors: Customize the visual appearance of trend lines and cloud colors.
Performance Table: Enable or disable the equity performance table that tracks historical trade results.
Performance Tracking & Reporting
A built-in performance table is included to monitor monthly and yearly trading performance.
The table calculates monthly percentage returns, displaying them in a structured format.
Color-coded values highlight profitable months (blue) and losing months (red).
Tracks yearly cumulative performance to assess long-term strategy effectiveness.
Traders can use this feature to evaluate historical performance trends and optimize their strategy settings accordingly.
How to Use This Strategy
Identify Trend Strength & Reversals:
Use the trend line and cloud color changes to assess trend strength and detect potential reversals.
Monitor Momentum Shifts:
Pay attention to gradient cloud color shifts, as they often appear before the trend line changes color.
This can indicate early momentum weakening or strengthening.
Act on Trend Shift Markers:
Use orange diamonds as confirmation signals for trend shifts and trade entry/exit points.
Utilize Cloud Bands as Support/Resistance:
The outer bands of the cloud serve as dynamic support and resistance, helping with stop-loss and take-profit placement.
Considerations & Limitations
Trend Lag: Since the strategy applies a smoothing function, entries may be slightly delayed compared to raw price action.
Volatile Market Conditions: In high-volatility markets, trend shifts may occur more frequently, leading to higher trade frequency.
Optimized for Trend Trading: This strategy is best suited for trending markets and may produce false signals in sideways (ranging) conditions.
Conclusion
The Gradient Trend Filter Strategy is a trend-following system based on the Gradient Trend Filter indicator by ChartPrime. It integrates noise filtering, trend visualization, and gradient-based color shifts to help traders identify strong market trends and potential reversals.
By combining trend filtering with a multi-layered cloud system, the strategy provides clear trade signals while minimizing noise. Traders can use this strategy for long-term trend trading, momentum shifts, and support/resistance-based decision-making.
This strategy is a fully automated system that allows traders to execute long, short, or both directions, with customizable settings to adapt to different market conditions.

Advanced Session Profile Predictor with SR Boxes & ORAdvanced Session Profile Predictor with Momentum Arrows
Designed for intraday traders, this indicator analyzes price action across Asia, London, and New York sessions to predict market profiles and highlight key trading opportunities. By combining session-based profiling, Opening Range (OR) visualization, and momentum signals from Traders Dynamic Index (TDI), it offers a unique tool for anticipating trends, reversals, and breakouts. Ideal for forex, indices, and crypto on 15M–1H charts.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike typical session indicators that only mark time zones or standard TDI scripts that focus on momentum, this tool:
Predicts market profiles (e.g., "Trend Continuation," "NY Manipulation") by analyzing session ranges and directional moves, offering actionable insights into how sessions interact.
Visualizes Opening Range (OR) boxes for the first 15 minutes of each session, helping traders spot early breakout levels.
Integrates TDI with momentum to generate precise bullish/bearish arrows, filtered by session context for improved reliability.
Simplifies decision-making with dynamic profile labels showing real-time long/short conditions based on price levels.
How Does It Work?
Session Tracking:
Asia (00:00–08:00 UTC, yellow), London (08:00–16:00 UTC, red), and New York (13:00–21:00 UTC, blue) sessions are highlighted with background colors and high/low lines (crosses).
OR boxes (first 15 minutes) are drawn for each session: yellow for Asia, red for London, blue for NY.
Profile Prediction:
Compares Asia and London session ranges and directions (e.g., trending if range > 1.5x 5-period SMA).
Examples:
Trend Continuation: Asia and London trend in the same direction—long above Asia high (uptrend) or short below Asia low (downtrend).
NY Manipulation: Asia trends, London consolidates—watch for NY breakouts at London high/low.
Displays the predicted profile and entry conditions in labels (e.g., "IF price hits 1.2000 LONG").
Momentum Arrows:
Uses TDI (RSI period 21, bands 34, fast MA 2) and 12-period momentum.
Green up arrow: Fast MA > upper band (>68) and momentum rising (bullish).
Red down arrow: Fast MA < lower band (<32) and momentum falling (bearish).
Support/Resistance (SR):
Plots dynamic SR boxes based on pivot highs/lows, filtered by volume (inspired by ChartPrime’s methodology, credited below).
How to Use It
Setup: Apply to a 15M–1H chart. Adjust time zone (default: UTC) and session times if needed. Customize TDI/momentum settings for sensitivity.
Trading:
Check the top-right labels for the current profile and entry conditions (e.g., "IF price hits LONG/SHORT").
Confirm entries with green up arrows (bullish) or red down arrows (bearish).
Use OR boxes and session high/low lines to identify breakout or reversal levels.
Example: In "NY Manipulation," wait for price to hit London high (long) or low (short) during NY session, confirmed by an arrow.
Best Markets: Forex (EUR/USD), indices (SPX500), crypto (BTC/USD) with sufficient intraday volatility.
Underlying Concepts
Session Profiling: Detects trends (range > SMA * threshold) and manipulation (e.g., London breaking Asia’s high/low) to predict NY behavior.
OR Boxes: Marks the first 15 minutes’ high/low as a breakout zone (time-based, 900,000 ms).
TDI + Momentum: Combines RSI-based bands with price change (close – close ) for momentum signals.
SR Boxes: Identifies pivots over a lookback period (default 20), scaled by ATR and filtered by volume thresholds.
Credits
The SR box logic is inspired by ChartPrime’s volume-filtered support/resistance methodology, adapted with custom breakout/hold detection. Original authors are credited for their foundational work.
Chart Setup
Displays session backgrounds, OR boxes, high/low lines, TDI arrows, and profile labels. Keep other indicators off for clarity.
GSD by MATAGSD by MATA - Gold-Sensitive Divergence Indicator
Overview:
The GSD by MATA indicator is designed to analyze the inverse correlation between an instrument’s price movement and gold (XAU/USD) over a selected time period. It helps traders identify whether the instrument tends to move in the opposite direction of gold, providing insights into potential hedging opportunities or market sentiment shifts.
How It Works:
User-Defined Time Period:
The user selects a time frame for comparison (1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, or 12 Months).
The indicator calculates the percentage change in both the instrument’s price and gold price over this period.
Inverse Movement Calculation:
If gold increases and the instrument decreases, the indicator registers a negative inverse change.
If gold decreases and the instrument increases, the indicator registers a positive inverse change.
If both move in the same direction, no inverse movement is recorded.
Cumulative Tracking:
The Reverse Change line shows the instant inverse movement.
The Total Change line accumulates the inverse movements over time, helping traders spot trends and long-term divergences.
How to Use:
A rising Total Change line (green) suggests that the instrument frequently moves in the opposite direction of gold, indicating a possible hedge effect.
A falling Total Change line (red) means the instrument has been moving in sync with gold rather than diverging.
The 0 reference line helps identify whether the cumulative effect is positive or negative over time.

🚀 A powerful indicator for tracking key trading sessions and the highs and lows of each session!
📌 Description
The Trading Sessions Highs/Lows indicator visually marks the most critical trading sessions—Asia, London, and New York—using small colored dots at the bottom of the candle. It also tracks and plots the highs and lows of each session, along with the Daily Open and Weekly Open levels.
This tool is designed to help traders identify session-based liquidity zones, price reactions, and potential trade setups with minimal chart clutter.
Key Features:
✅ Session markers (Asia, London, NY AM, NY Lunch, NY PM) plotted as small dots
✅ Plots session highs and lows for market structure insights
✅ Daily Open line for intraday reference
✅ Weekly Open line for higher timeframe bias
✅ Alerts for session high/low breaks to capture momentum shifts
✅ User-defined UTC offset for global traders
✅ Customizable session colors for personal preference
📖 How to Use the Indicator
1️⃣ Understanding the Sessions
Asia Session (Yellow Dot) → Marks liquidity buildup & pre-London moves
London Session (Blue Dot) → Strong volatility, breakout opportunities
New York AM Session (Green Dot) → Major trends & institutional participation
New York Lunch (Red Dot) → Low volume, ranging market
New York PM Session (Dark Green Dot) → End-of-day movements & reversals
2️⃣ Session Highs & Lows for Market Structure
Session Highs can act as resistance or breakout points.
Session Lows can act as support or stop-hunt zones.
Break of a session high/low with volume may indicate continuation or reversal.
3️⃣ Using the Daily & Weekly Open
The Daily Open (Black Line) helps gauge the intraday trend.
Above Daily Open → Bearish Bias
Below Daily Open → Bullish Bias
The Weekly Open (Red Line) sets the higher timeframe directional bias.
4️⃣ Alerts for Breakouts
The indicator will trigger alerts when price breaks session highs or lows.
Useful for setting stop-losses, breakout trades, and risk management.
💡 Why This Indicator is Important for Beginners
1️⃣ Avoids Overtrading:
Many beginners trade in low-volume periods (NY Lunch, Asia session) and get stuck in choppy price action.
This indicator highlights when volatility is high so traders focus on better opportunities.
2️⃣ Session-Based Liquidity Traps:
Market makers often run stops at session highs/lows before reversing.
Watching session breaks prevents traders from falling into liquidity grabs.
3️⃣ Reduces Emotional Trading:
If price is above the Daily Open, a beginner shouldn’t look for shorts.
If price is below a key session low, it may signal a fake breakout.
4️⃣ Aligns with Institutional Trading:
Smart money traders use session highs/lows to set stop hunts & reversals.
Beginners can use this indicator to spot these zones before entering trades.
🛡️ How to Mitigate Risk with This Indicator

True Liquidity BlocksSo basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens.
Key Concept:
Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions
Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference
What Makes This Different:
Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames
Identifies "trapped" trader positions
Measures liquidity level efficiency
Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone
Indicator Features:
Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure
Efficiency tracking for each level
Dynamic volume-based segmentation
Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone
Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where:
Positions create potential energy
Price movement resolves this energy
Trends form through systematic position liquidation
VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment:
Segment Start:
VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached
Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation
Weighted by volume traded during that segment
Calculation Method:
pineCopy = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1)
hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices
na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment
Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals
Key Points:
Dynamic recalculation each segment
Reflects most recent trading activity
Provides real-time fair price reference
Tracks positioning
Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained:
When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps:
BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit)
SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Core Mechanism:
VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning
Trapped positions create inherent market tension
Levels expand to show accumulating pressure
Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction
The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement.
It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it.
Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.

On-Chain Analysis [LuxAlgo]The On-Chain Analysis tool offers a comprehensive overview of essential on-chain metrics, enabling traders and investors to grasp the underlying activity and sentiment within the cryptocurrency market. By integrating metrics like wallet profitability, exchange flows, on-chain volume, social sentiment, and more into your charts, users can gain valuable insights into cryptocurrency network behavior, spot emerging trends, and better manage risk in the cryptocurrency market.
🔶 USAGE
🔹 On-Chain Analysis
When analyzing cryptocurrencies, several fundamental metrics are crucial for assessing the value and potential of a digital asset. This indicator is designed to help traders and analysts evaluate the markets by utilizing various data gathered directly from the blockchain. The gathered on-chain data includes wallet profitability, exchange flows, miner flows, on-chain volume, large buyers/sellers, market capitalization, market dominance, active addresses, total value locked (TVL), market value to realized value (MVRV), developer activity, social sentiment, holder behavior, and balance types.
Use wallet profitability and social sentiment metrics to gauge the overall mood of the market, helping to anticipate potential buying or selling pressure.
On-chain volume and active addresses provide insights into how actively a cryptocurrency is being used, indicating network health and adoption levels.
By tracking exchange flows and holder balance types, you can identify significant moves by whales or institutions, which may signal upcoming price shifts.
Market capitalization and miner flows give you an understanding of the supply side of the market, aiding in evaluating whether an asset is overvalued or undervalued.
The distribution of holdings among retail investors, whales, and institutional groups can greatly influence market dynamics. A large concentration of holdings by whales may indicate the potential for significant price swings, given their capacity to execute substantial trades. A higher proportion of institutional investors often suggests confidence in the asset's long-term potential, as these entities typically conduct thorough research before investing. While retail participation indicates broader adoption, it also introduces higher volatility, as these investors tend to be more reactive to market fluctuations.
Understanding the balance and behavior of short-term traders, mid-term cruisers, and long-term hodlers helps traders and analysts predict market trends and assess the underlying confidence in a particular cryptocurrency.

Market-Sentiment-Technicals
Volatility IndicatorThe volatility indicator presented here is based on multiple volatility indices that reflect the market’s expectation of future price fluctuations across different asset classes, including equities, commodities, and currencies. These indices serve as valuable tools for traders and analysts seeking to anticipate potential market movements, as volatility is a key factor influencing asset prices and market dynamics (Bollerslev, 1986).
Volatility, defined as the magnitude of price changes, is often regarded as a measure of market uncertainty or risk. Financial markets exhibit periods of heightened volatility that may precede significant price movements, whether upward or downward (Christoffersen, 1998). The indicator presented in this script tracks several key volatility indices, including the VIX (S&P 500), GVZ (Gold), OVX (Crude Oil), and others, to help identify periods of increased uncertainty that could signal potential market turning points.
Volatility Indices and Their Relevance
Volatility indices like the VIX are considered “fear gauges” as they reflect the market’s expectation of future volatility derived from the pricing of options. A rising VIX typically signals increasing investor uncertainty and fear, which often precedes market corrections or significant price movements. In contrast, a falling VIX may suggest complacency or confidence in continued market stability (Whaley, 2000).
The other volatility indices incorporated in the indicator script, such as the GVZ (Gold Volatility Index) and OVX (Oil Volatility Index), capture the market’s perception of volatility in specific asset classes. For instance, GVZ reflects market expectations for volatility in the gold market, which can be influenced by factors such as geopolitical instability, inflation expectations, and changes in investor sentiment toward safe-haven assets. Similarly, OVX tracks the implied volatility of crude oil options, which is a crucial factor for predicting price movements in energy markets, often driven by geopolitical events, OPEC decisions, and supply-demand imbalances (Pindyck, 2004).
Using the Indicator to Identify Market Movements
The volatility indicator alerts traders when specific volatility indices exceed a defined threshold, which may signal a change in market sentiment or an upcoming price movement. These thresholds, set by the user, are typically based on historical levels of volatility that have preceded significant market changes. When a volatility index exceeds this threshold, it suggests that market participants expect greater uncertainty, which often correlates with increased price volatility and the possibility of a trend reversal.
For example, if the VIX exceeds a pre-determined level (e.g., 30), it could indicate that investors are anticipating heightened volatility in the equity markets, potentially signaling a downturn or correction in the broader market. On the other hand, if the OVX rises significantly, it could point to an upcoming sharp movement in crude oil prices, driven by changing market expectations about supply, demand, or geopolitical risks (Geman, 2005).
Practical Application
To effectively use this volatility indicator in market analysis, traders should monitor the alert signals generated when any of the volatility indices surpass their thresholds. This can be used to identify periods of market uncertainty or potential market turning points across different sectors, including equities, commodities, and currencies. The indicator can help traders prepare for increased price movements, adjust their risk management strategies, or even take advantage of anticipated price swings through options trading or volatility-based strategies (Black & Scholes, 1973).
Traders may also use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to validate the potential for significant market movements. For example, if the VIX exceeds its threshold and the market is simultaneously approaching a critical technical support or resistance level, the trader might consider entering a position that capitalizes on the anticipated price breakout or reversal.
Conclusion
This volatility indicator is a robust tool for identifying market conditions that are conducive to significant price movements. By tracking the behavior of key volatility indices, traders can gain insights into the market’s expectations of future price fluctuations, enabling them to make more informed decisions regarding market entries and exits. Understanding and monitoring volatility can be particularly valuable during times of heightened uncertainty, as changes in volatility often precede substantial shifts in market direction (French et al., 1987).

R-based Strategy Template [Daveatt]Have you ever wondered how to properly track your trading performance based on risk rather than just profits?
This template solves that problem by implementing R-multiple tracking directly in TradingView's strategy tester.
This script is a tool that you must update with your own trading entry logic.
Quick notes
Before we dive in, I want to be clear: this is a template focused on R-multiple calculation and visualization.
I'm using a basic RSI strategy with dummy values just to demonstrate how the R tracking works. The actual trading signals aren't important here - you should replace them with your own strategy logic.
R multiple logic
Let's talk about what R-multiple means in practice.
Think of R as your initial risk per trade.
For instance, if you have a $10,000 account and you're risking 1% per trade, your 1R would be $100.
A trade that makes twice your risk would be +2R ($200), while hitting your stop loss would be -1R (-$100).
This way of measuring makes it much easier to evaluate your strategy's performance regardless of account size.
Whenever the SL is hit, we lose -1R
Proof showing the strategy tester whenever the SL is hit: i.imgur.com
The magic happens in how we calculate position sizes.
The script automatically determines the right position size to risk exactly your specified percentage on each trade.
This is done through a simple but powerful calculation:
risk_amount = (strategy.equity * (risk_per_trade_percent / 100))
sl_distance = math.abs(entry_price - sl_price)
position_size = risk_amount / (sl_distance * syminfo.pointvalue)
Limitations with lower timeframe gaps
This ensures that if your stop loss gets hit, you'll lose exactly the amount you intended to risk. No more, no less.
Well, could be more or less actually ... let's assume you're trading futures on a 15-minute chart but in the 1-minute chart there is a gap ... then your 15 minute SL won't get filled and you'll likely to not lose exactly -1R
This is annoying but it can't be fixed - and that's how trading works anyway.
Features
The template gives you flexibility in how you set your stop losses. You can use fixed points, ATR-based stops, percentage-based stops, or even tick-based stops.
Regardless of which method you choose, the position sizing will automatically adjust to maintain your desired risk per trade.
To help you track performance, I've added a comprehensive statistics table in the top right corner of your chart.
It shows you everything you need to know about your strategy's performance in terms of R-multiples: how many R you've won or lost, your win rate, average R per trade, and even your longest winning and losing streaks.
Happy trading!
And remember, measuring your performance in R-multiples is one of the most classical ways to evaluate and improve your trading strategies.
Daveatt
