The Real Koops - Darvas Box v2.1What Is the Darvas Box?
The Darvas Box strategy was developed by Nicholas Darvas. Aside from being a well known dancer, he began trading stock in the 1950s. Based on his success in trading, he was approached to write a book on his strategy. The book, “How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market,” outlines his approach together with “You can still make it in the market”.
Darvas Box Implementation
The intend behind the Darvas box was for it to be used for rapidly rising technology stocks, and in fact it was never tested or used by Darvas for Commodities. This implementation of the Darvas Box was created specifically in support of Commodity Trends, which tend to be very volatile over long periods of time. The main ones for an uptrend (e.g. longing the market. Shorting the market would work exactly the opposite):
1. When the price of a rapidly rising stock (pls note rapidly rising is key - we are not interested in a sideways trend) is reaching a resistance point, which is does not surpass for three or more consecutive days, that point represents the top of the box.
2. If, after falling from the upper limit, the stock reaches a downward resistance point which it does not penetrate for three of more consecutive days, that level represents the bottom of the box.
3. A stock is in a rising trend when it is in the topmost box. If it remains there, its price fluctuations should be ignored, and the stock is a HOLD.
4. If the price of the stock moves above the top of this topmost box, this stock becomes a BUY. A 10% stop loss should be set at the breakout.
5. Having formed a new higher box, if the price falls below the bottom into the stop loss area of this box, the stock is a SELL.
6. There is no reason to HOLD or BUY a stock that is not in its topmost box.
7. In case a candle pierces out of the top of the box while establishing the bottom of the box, the box is invalidated.
8. If the Box is broken out of on the top, the color is Yellow. If the Box is broken out of on the bottom, the color is Blue.
9. If a Box is being formed in the current timeframe, it is colored Grey, and has clear Buy and Stop Loss indicators so that the user knows how to configure his/her Broker.
10. All parameters for the implementation have been made configurable, so that users can tweak both the presentation of the boxes (background color, border width and style) as well as the configuration of the breakout %, stop loss %, textual presentation and box validation e.g. display arrows where the top and the bottom of the box was drawn, draw boxes only from All Time High back test after a configurable number of years, the number of boxes to be drawn from the last box etc.
11. In addition, two other key principles are critical for application of the indicator:
1. The stock’s price must be at or above its ATH for the past 3 years or more.
2. The volume profile needs to indicate a rapidly growing volume or insider buying (e.g., a volume spike).
How is this implementation different from others?
This implementation holds fully true to the way Darvas described his Darvas Box in his books, but applies it to Commodities. It is in addition, highly configurable, so that it can be used to debug itself (at which points have box boundaries been drawn), and it provides Buy/Sell/Stop Loss levels for entries and exits – again, highly configurable, with defaults set as per Darvas’ books.
Finally, it works over daily to quarterly timeframes (it is not suitable for high frequency trading).
How to use this Indicator?
First, use it with the default settings. Once a grey box is drawn for the current timeframe for the commodity you are interested in investing in (based on Darvas principles outlined above), this box will indicate a Buy level and a Stop loss level based on the principles described above, allowing you to make a purchase decision for that commodity asset accordingly. Then, stay the trade. As the stock continues to move up, more Darvas Boxes will be drawn with new Buy levels and stop loss levels – either add to your position or keep the original investment in play. Once a trend reversal occurs, the Stop loss level will be used to get you out of the trade.
Second, once you are comfortable with this trading methodology, you can refine the script to use a color scheme as you prefer for your Tradingview, as well as set buy, stop loss and sell levels, aligned with your own level of comfort to deal with volatility.
If you wonder why a certain box was drawn at certain levels, you can use the green and red arrows to show the levels based upon which the boxes were drawn.

Absolute KRI [vnhilton]The Kairi Relative Index (KRI) is a volatility momentum oscillator that plots the distance of price away from a moving average. An increase or decrease in distance is a sign of increasing/decreasing momentum respectively, & a relatively stable distance would mean momentum is also stable. An increase in momentum is a sign of strength, price extending away from the moving average, & has to revert back to the mean sooner than later, which is why some traders look to take profit or contrarian trades with this increase in momentum.
This indicator plots the KRI in absolute values, meaning that the value can never be lower than 0, helping to see momentum clearer, with colours to still give information on whether or price is in an uptrend or downtrend if it's above/below the moving average respectively. This indicator also includes a standard deviation band, to help spot abnormal distances between price & the moving average, which may be more worthy of attention as that's a sign of significant activity that's caused momentum.
The chart snapshot image above shows ATXI moving ~70% from its open on 30/09/22. From open to midday, we can see price extend away from the 21 EMA (impulses) several times, with retracements back towards the EMA following right after. Let's look at 3 main examples of price creating new highs.
- At (1), price attempts to make a new high, & but meets historical resistance, causing price to retrace back to the mean. On the indicator, you can see momentum failing to be higher than previous momentum after making new highs, which shows that historical resistance, alongside the whole $10 dollar level, were significant in causing a reversal (you can see sell volume using the periodic volume profile (pvp) for each bar). The indicator also shows momentum extending further than the standard deviation band, which is mostly expected as it's right at the open & the stock was in play at the time. The indicator falls back under the standard deviation band which confirms the retracement, as it's showing slowing of momentum.
- At (2), the indicator indicates significant activity again after exiting the standard deviation band, with the impulse slowing down right the resistance, testing it several times to satisfy passive sellers, until aggressive buyers were able to push the price higher. This confirmed new high that followed afterwards didn't exhibit the same momentum as (1), which means that the overall trend is slowing down, meaning that traders should be more cautious of trying to buy into new highs (i.e. take profit earlier, & look for reversals).
- At (3), the indicator shows significant activity again as price heads towards making a new high. As new highs were created, we can see that the momentum causing this breakout is lower than the previous momentum at (2) & (1), again showing that the overall trend is slowing down. The whole $12 dollar level, & FOMO/greed buyers being trapped at the wick (you can see buy volume using the pvp indicator), allowed for short-term resistance for a mean reversion play.
Money Flow Trend Strength [CraftyChaos]I devised this indicator because I wanted to find a way to track the Money Flow Trend to exhaustion for both directions.
Overview:
I use two MFI series and an EMA of the faster MFI series to derive when the Money Flow is trending in one direction or another.
What does this indicator not do:
This indicator does not give buy and sell signals.
What does this indicator do:
This indicator offers confluence with your other indicators to determine when a reversal is approaching after a sustained trend of money flowing in or out of an asset.
This indicator can help time your trades near reversal points, so you are not entering trades in the middle of some trending move.
How to Tune
I would not recommend changing the settings. I have exposed them for people that want to experiment. The short lengths are key to reducing lag
How to read the indicator:
When a red cross appears at the top, this indicates money flow into the asset is strong. Do not short an asset while there are red crosses. You will get REKT
When a green cross appears at the bottom, this indicates money flow exiting the asset is strong. DO NOT buy an asset while there are green crosses. You will get REKT.
When the white step line enters the top, but no crosses appear, this indicates money is flowing into the asset, but is weak. The trend will either gain strength soon or will collapse.
When the white step line enters the bottom, but no crosses appear, this indicates money is flowing out of the asset, but is weak. The trend will either gain strength soon or will collapse.
The green line is the slower MFI. I would not use any crosses with the white step line and the green line. These two lines can cross frequently and show divergences with price. very frequent crossing may indicate sideways movement with no real price movement.
I often see the white step line enter the bottom and top zones under two primary conditions:
Secondary tests of support and resistance zone which fail
Failed breakouts/pullbacks after a pump or dump
Additionally, I use my indicator with the following indicators. You may find them useful:
Jurik Filtered, Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB) Channels (on current timeframe). Note: I often find strong trends trace the upper/lower bands, and end when the upper or lower band flattens
Jurik Filtered, Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB) Channels (on smaller timeframe, i.e., 2hr on a 4h or 15m on the 1hr). Note: I often find weak trend pullbacks/breakouts touch the channel bands

Baseline-C [ID: AC-P]The "AC-P" version of jiehonglim's NNFX Baseline script is my personal customized version of the NNFX Baseline concept as part of the NNFX Algorithm stack/structure for 1D Trend Trading for Forex. Everget's JMA implementation is used for the baseline smoothing method, with optional ATR bands at 1.0x and 1.5x from the baseline.
NNFX = No Nonsense Forex
Baseline = Component of the NNFX Algorithm that consists of a single moving average
Baseline ---> Meant to be used in conjunction with ATR/C1/C2/Vol Indicator/Exit Indicator as per NNFX Algorithm setup/structure. C1 is 1st Confirmation Indicator, C2 is 2nd Confirmation Indicator.
JMA (Jurik Moving Average) is used for the baseline and slow baseline.
A slow baseline option is included, but disabled by default.
The faint orange/purple lines are 1.0x/1.5x ATR from the Baseline, and are what I use as potential TP/SL targets or to evaluate when to stay out of a trade (chop/missed entry/exit/other/ATR breach), depending on the trade setup (in conjunction with C1/C2/Vol Indicator/Exit Indicator)
This script is heavily based upon jiehonglim's NNFX Baseline script for signaling, barcoloring, and ATR.
SSL Channel option included but disabled by default (Erwinbeckers SSL component)
POC (Point of Control) from Volume Profile is included/enabled by default for both the current timeframe and 12HR timeframe
03.freeman's InfoPanel Divergence Indicator was used a reference to replace the current/previous ATR information infopanel/info draw from jiehonglim's script. I'm not sure whether I like the previous way ATR info was displayed vs how I have it currently, but it's something that is completely optional:
Specifically: I am tuning this baseline/indicator for 1D trading as part of the NNFX system, for Forex.
DO NOT USE THIS INDICATOR WITHOUT PROPER TUNING/ADJUSTMENT for your timeframe and asset class.
Note about lack of alerts:
Alerts for baseline crosses (and other crosses) have been purposefully omitted for this version upon initial publication. While getting alerts for baseline crosses under certain conditions/filtered conditions that eliminate low-importance signals and crossover whipsaw would be great, it's something I'm still looking into.
SPECIFICALLY: There are entry, exit, take profit, and continuation signal components in relation to the Baseline to the rest of the NNFX Algorithm stack (ATR/C1/C2/Vol Indicator/Exit Indicator), including but limited to the "1 candle rule" and the "7 candle rule" as per NNFX.
Implementing alerts that are significant that also factor in these rules while reducing alert spam/false signals would be ideal, but it's also the HTF/Daily chart - visually, entry/exit/continuation signal alignment is easy to spot when trading 1D - alerts may be redundant/a pursuit in diminishing returns (for now).

Bonfire vs Algo Profile by CaptBlackBeard
Top Secret: Using reactive Bonfire math vs Volume Profile to show gaps in the Profit Algorithm guiding the price to balance the books. This is valued data
Smart Choppy Index v1 [JopAlgo]Smart Choppy Index v1 — decide trend vs. chop in seconds
What it does (one line):
Measures the percent range of price over a lookback and tells you if the market is choppy (do less, fade edges) or trending (go with breaks/pullbacks).
Range% = (Highest High − Lowest Low) / Close × 100 over length
Below Choppy Threshold → likely range (red tint / X marker)
Above Trending Threshold → likely trend (green tint / ● marker)
Between them = mixed/transition (no background)
Read the pane fast
Orange line: the live Range%.
Red dashed line: Choppy Threshold.
Green dashed line: Trending Threshold.
Background: soft red during chop, soft green during trend.
Markers: X at the top when chop is detected, ● at the bottom when trend is detected.
TL;DR: Red = play defense / mean-revert. Green = play offense / trend-follow.
Simple playbook (copy this into your process)
Identify regime
Choppy (Range% < red line): prefer mean-reversion at VP edges / AVWAP; smaller targets, quicker exits.
Trending (Range% > green line): prefer breakouts + pullbacks; hold to POC/HVNs or structure.
Only execute at real locations
Volume Profile v3.2 : VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs for entries/targets.
Anchored VWAP : reclaims/rejections for timing.
Quality check (optional, recommended)
CVDv1 : execute with flow (Alignment OK, strong Imbalance, no Absorption against your side).
Risk
Stops go beyond structure/level, not on indicator flips.
If regime flips right after entry (green → red or red → green), consider tightening or exiting early.
Timeframe guidance
1–5m (scalps): length 14–20. You’ll see more flips—use thresholds a touch wider and execute only at edges.
15m–1H (intraday): length 14–34. Sweet spot for day trading bias.
2H–4H (swing): length 20–50. Fewer, cleaner signals; great for planning.
1D+ (position): length 50–100. Use as backdrop; trigger on lower TFs.
Settings that actually matter (and how to tune)
Lookback Period (length)
Shorter = faster regime changes; longer = smoother, fewer flips.
Choppy Threshold (%) / Trending Threshold (%)
Calibrate by history: scroll back and mark typical Range% during range days vs trend days for your market/TF.
If you get too many trend flags, raise the green threshold.
If everything looks “choppy,” lower the red threshold slightly.
Background color
Turn off if your chart feels busy; markers remain.
How to trade it with other tools
In Chop (red):
Fade VAH/VAL/AVWAP touches toward POC with tight stops. Confirm with CVDv1 (avoid longs if Absorption is red, etc.).
In Trend (green):
Break + retest at VP levels/AVWAP. Add on pullbacks that hold while Range% stays above the green line.
Patterns to recognize
Squeeze → Expansion: Range% ramps from below red toward/through green → expect a trend phase.
Exhaustion → Balance: After a long green phase, Range% falls back toward the middle → take profits into HVNs, expect more two-way trade.
False break tell: Level poke while Range% sits near red → low odds of follow-through; prefer reclaims.
Practical defaults to start
length = 14
Choppy Threshold = 1.5%
Trending Threshold = 2.5%
Process: Regime → Location → Flow → Execute with structure-based risk

Gamma Exposure Levels by OMG (Oh My Gamma)OMG (Oh My Gamma) - Daily GEX Levels
An operational framework for Gamma analysis with daily data.
Indicator's Purpose & Demo Data
This indicator plots key strategic levels derived from Gamma Exposure (GEX) analysis. It showcases the operational logic of OhMyGamma analytical engine.
IMPORTANT: The levels plotted by this public script are based on a past date's snapshot for demonstration purposes. They are not valid for live trading and will not update automatically.
The real edge comes from using the fresh data structure provided daily.
How to Read the Levels
This indicator is designed to provide actionable intelligence, not just data. Here's how to read it:
The Levels: Each line represents a key strategic zone (Zero Gamma, Call/Put Walls, etc.) where a market reaction is statistically probable due to dealer hedging flows.
Line Thickness = Strategic Importance: The thickness of each line directly corresponds to its strategic rating. Thicker, solid lines represent higher-conviction zones.
Labels & Tooltips: Hover over a level's label on your chart to see its full description, confluences, and strategic rating.
Pro Tip: The Power of Confluence
This indicator is not a standalone "system". It's an institutional-grade intelligence layer. Its predictive power increases exponentially when used to find confluence with your own analysis.
The highest-probability trades occur when a key Gamma level aligns with:
Price Action: Key support/resistance zones, order blocks, or liquidity pools.
Volumetric Indicators: High/Low Volume Nodes (HVN/LVN) from Volume Profile, VWAP, and Anchored VWAP.
Use these levels to confirm your setups and gain the conviction to act.

Trend Indicator by anant_alwaysThis indicator analyses various market parameters, including RSI, moving averages, volume profile, and OI data, which help determine the market's direction. Based on the study of these parameters, it generates a signal in the form of a triangle to indicate the potential direction of the script being used upon. The indicator simply studies other parameters to generate a signal and does not create a mashup of these indicators. It also generates a table at the bottom, which shows basic information such as MA value, RSI value and positioning of MACD volume trend for easier information availability.
X Opens+Overview:
The X Opens+ indicator is a precision tool designed for traders seeking to analyze market structure and behavior around key timeframe opens. It highlights the open prices of custom-selected higher timeframes—such as daily, weekly, or monthly sessions—and visualizes them directly on lower timeframes. These open levels often coincide with high-volume zones, market imbalance, and institutional interest, making them powerful reference points for intraday and swing trading strategies.
Key Features:
Custom Timeframe Anchoring: Users can select any timeframe (e.g., daily, 4H, 1W) to display its current and previous session opens directly on their active chart. This allows for flexible multi-timeframe analysis within a single view.
Price Reaction Zones: Timeframe opens are frequently areas of heightened liquidity and directional bias. By identifying these opens and their relationship to current price action, traders can anticipate areas of support/resistance, trend continuation, or reversal.
Derived Midpoints and Ranges: The indicator also computes and displays the previous session’s range midpoint (EQ), as well as extension bands (e.g., ±1.0x or ±1.5x the prior range). These levels are useful for contextualizing volatility expansion and identifying breakout or fade setups around key open zones.
Historical Session Mapping: In addition to live opens, the tool optionally displays opens and range-based levels from previous sessions. This historical layering gives traders a broader context of how price has respected or rejected these levels over time.
Labeling and Customization: Each level can be labeled and color-coded to match user preferences. The visibility, size, and style of each element (e.g., lines, labels, bands) are fully configurable for visual clarity and user alignment.
Use Cases:
Confirming bias around daily or weekly opens, especially during market opens or key economic releases.
Identifying equilibrium levels for mean reversion or continuation setups.
Using ±1.0 and ±1.5 range projections as dynamic targets or invalidation zones.
Anchoring to key sessions for volume profile or order flow-based strategies.
Summary:
X Opens+ is a data-driven utility that transforms static session opens into dynamic market tools. By spotlighting where institutional interest likely concentrates—at the opens of significant timeframes—this indicator provides traders with a structural edge in identifying key zones that influence price behavior throughout the trading day or week

Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.

Anchored Darvas Box## ANCHORED DARVAS BOX

### OVERVIEW
**Anchored Darvas Box** lets you drop a single timestamp on your chart and build a Darvas-style consolidation zone forward from that exact candle. The indicator freezes the first user-defined number of bars to establish the range, verifies that price respects that range for another user-defined number of bars, then waits for the first decisive breakout. The resulting rectangle captures every tick of the accumulation phase and the exact moment of expansion—no manual drawing, complete timestamp precision.
---
### HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nicolas Darvas’s 1950s box theory tracked institutional accumulation by hand-drawing rectangles around tight price ranges. A trade was triggered only when price escaped the rectangle.
The anchored version preserves Darvas’s logic but pins the entire sequence to a user-chosen candle: perfect for analysing a market open, an earnings release, FOMC minute, or any other catalytic bar.
---
### ALGORITHM DETAIL
1. **ANCHOR BAR**
*You provide a timestamp via the settings panel.* The script waits until the chart reaches that bar and records its index as **startBar**.
2. **RANGE DEFINITION — BARS 1-7**
• `rangeHigh` = highest high of bars 1-7 plus optional tolerance.
• `rangeLow` = lowest low of bars 1-7 minus optional tolerance.
3. **RANGE VALIDATION — BARS 8-14**
• Price must stay inside ` `.
• Any violation aborts the test; no box is created.
4. **ARMED STATE**
• If bars 8-14 hold the range, two live guide-lines appear:
– **Green** at `rangeHigh`
– **Red** at `rangeLow`
• The script is now “armed,” waiting indefinitely for the first true breakout.
5. **BREAKOUT & BOX CREATION**
• **Up breakout** =`high > rangeHigh` → rectangle drawn in **green**.
• **Down breakout**=`low < rangeLow` → rectangle drawn in **red**.
• Box extends from **startBar** to the breakout bar and never updates again.
• Optional labels print the dollar and percentage height of the box at its left edge.
6. **OPTIONAL COOLDOWN**
• After the box is painted the script can stay silent for a user-defined number of bars, letting you study the fallout without another range immediately arming on top of it.
---
### INPUT PARAMETERS
• **ANCHOR TIME** – Precise yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS that seeds the sequence.
• **BARS TO DEFINE RANGE** – Default 7; affects both definition and validation windows.
• **OPTIONAL TOLERANCE** – Absolute price buffer to ignore micro-wicks.
• **COOLDOWN BARS AFTER BREAKOUT** – Pause length before the indicator is allowed to re-anchor (set to zero to disable).
• **SHOW BOX DISTANCE LABELS** – Toggle to print Δ\$ and Δ% on every completed box.
---
### USER WORKFLOW
1. Add the indicator, open settings, and set **ANCHOR TIME** to the candle you care about (e.g., “2025-04-23 09:30:00” for NYSE open).
2. Watch live as the script:
– Paints the seven-bar range.
– Draws validation lines.
– Locks in the box on breakout.
3. Use the box boundaries as structural stops, targets, or context for further trades.
---
### PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
• **OPENING RANGE BREAKOUTS** – Anchor at the first second of the session; capture the initial 7-bar range and trade the first clean break.
• **EVENT STUDIES** – Anchor at a news candle to measure immediate post-event volatility.
• **VOLUME PROFILE FUSION** – Combine the anchored box with VPVR to see if the breakout occurs at a high-volume node or a low-liquidity pocket.
• **RISK DISCIPLINE** – Stop-loss can sit just inside the opposite edge of the anchored range, enforcing objective risk.
---
### ADVANCED CUSTOMISATION IDEAS
• **MULTIPLE ANCHORS** – Clone the indicator and anchor several boxes (e.g., London open, New York open).
• **DYNAMIC WINDOW** – Switch the 7-bar fixed length to a volatility-scaled length (ATR percentile).
• **STRATEGY WRAPPER** – Turn the indicator into a `strategy{}` script and back-test anchored boxes on decades of data.
---
### FINAL THOUGHTS
Anchored Darvas Boxes give you Darvas’s timeless range-break methodology anchored to any candle of interest—perfect for dissecting openings, economic releases, or your own bespoke “important” bars with laboratory precision.
Smart Money Template📈 Smart Money Concepts – BOS / CHoCH / Order Blocks / OTE / FVG
Version: 1.0
Framework: Pine Script v5
Category: Smart Money / Price Action / Institutional Concepts
🧠 Indicator Overview
This indicator is a complete Smart Money Concepts (SMC) toolkit, built to help traders identify institutional activity and market structure shifts using key SMC principles:
• BOS (Break of Structure)
• CHoCH (Change of Character)
• Order Blocks (OB)
• OTE Zones (Optimal Trade Entry)
• FVGs (Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)
This tool provides visual clarity and high-probability trade zones by automating what professional traders do manually.
⸻
🔍 Core Features
✅ BOS & CHoCH Detection
Automatically detects market structure breaks using HH/LL logic. BOS is highlighted when price breaks significant swing highs/lows.
✅ Order Block Zones
Draws boxes around the last bullish/bearish candle before a displacement (impulse move), showing potential institutional OB zones.
✅ OTE Zone Mapping
Calculates the Optimal Trade Entry zone between 0.705–0.79 of a price leg using Fibonacci logic. A powerful confluence area when combined with OBs.
✅ Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Detects imbalances between candles that often act as magnets for price. Visualizes price inefficiencies for future retests.
✅ Custom Inputs
You can toggle any feature on/off for cleaner analysis: BOS/CHoCH, OBs, OTE, and FVGs.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. Structure Recognition:
• The script checks for Higher Highs / Lower Lows to determine trend context.
• A BOS/CHoCH label appears when structure shifts.
2. Order Blocks:
• A bullish OB is detected when the previous candle is bearish and the current one closes above its high.
• A bearish OB is vice versa.
3. OTE Levels:
• Based on daily range from high to low.
• Highlights 0.705–0.79 as a potential retracement entry zone (optimal sniper entry).
4. FVG Detection:
• If there is a gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (current candle), it is marked as an imbalance zone.
🎯 Best Use Cases
• Entry confirmations using CHoCH + OB + OTE confluence
• Liquidity grabs + FVG retest setups
• Institutional trend reversals (AMD cycles)
• Smart retracement entries using OTE zones
⸻
💡 Tips for Traders
• Works best on 15m, 1H, 4H, or Daily charts
• Combine with liquidity sweep logic, volume profile, or your own strategy for sniper precision
• Backtest using BOS + OB + FVG + OTE for high-RR setups
⸻
🛠️ Upcoming Features (Optional)
• Risk:Reward Ratio Tool
• Stop Hunt Detection (SSL/BSL)
• Volume + Sponsored Candle Filter
• Alerts for BOS / OB reaction
• SFP Pattern recognition

🔷 How to Use Squeeze Momentum Pro
🔍 Identifying Trends
Squeeze Momentum Pro supports two different methods for identifying the trend visually, each based on a distinct logic:
Squeeze Momentum Trend (LazyBear-style):
Displays 3 states based on the position of the Bollinger Bands relative to the Keltner Channel:
🔵 Blue = No Squeeze (BB outside KC and KC outside BB)
⚪️ White = Squeeze Active (BB fully inside KC)
⚫️ Gray = Neutral state (none of the above)
TTM Squeeze Trend (John Carter-style):
Calculates the difference in width between the Bollinger Bands and the Keltner Channel:
🟩 Green = BB width is greater than KC → potential expansion phase
🟥 Red = BB are tighter than KC → possible compression or pre-breakout
📈 Interpreting Signals
Depending on the active configuration, the indicator can provide various signals, including:
Trend color → Reflects the current compression/expansion state (based on selected mode)
Momentum value (above or below 0) → May indicate directional pressure
Signal Line cross → Can highlight momentum shifts
Color change in the momentum → May suggest a potential trend reversal
🛠 Integration with Other Tools
Squeeze Momentum Pro works well alongside other indicators to strengthen market context:
✅ Volume Profile / OBV – Helps confirm accumulation or distribution during squeezes
✅ RSI – Useful to detect divergence between momentum and price
✅ Moving Averages – Ideal for defining primary trend direction and filtering signals

VP demo(Rolling period)Introduction
In the native VP (Volume Profile), the commonly referenced parameters are POC (Point of Control), VAH (Value Area High), and VAL (Value Area Low). However, since VAH and VAL are calculated by extending outward from the POC, their values heavily depend on the shape of the VP and the parameter settings of the value area ratio. This means their significance in identifying support and resistance in the market is limited. Based on VP, my algorithm is designed with two additional methods to identify low-volume points within a rolling time period, using them as reference points for support and resistance.
Current Algorithm Issues
When the candles update, you might notice overlapping support and resistance lines on the chart, or multiple lines appearing near the same location. This is due to TradingView's rendering issue, where old support and resistance lines that have been deleted in the code are not promptly removed from the chart. You only need to refer to the support and resistance lines that extend to the latest candle. If some lines remain at previous candles, it indicates that these points are outdated. As new candles continue to form, these lagging support and resistance lines will automatically disappear once the number of new candles reaches a certain threshold. Additionally, during significant market movements, you may see a large number of red lines. This is because the algorithm does not yet fully recognize abnormal market conditions. Future versions will gradually improve this aspect.
