MBZ Model (Simplified Version) [NINE Θ]
Overview
The MBZ Model Simplified is an advanced indicator designed to identify reversal zones through the detection of Median Body Zones (MBZs), Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs), and SMT Divergences. This indicator combines multiple trading concepts into a unified, streamlined tool for precision entries.
The core premise is simple: when price sweeps liquidity and immediately reverses with conviction, it creates a "Median Body Zone", an area where smart money has likely accumulated or distributed positions. These zones often act as powerful support/resistance levels for future price action.
Key Features
Liquidity Level MBZs — Detects reversal zones formed after liquidity sweeps at swing highs/lows
Type 4 (T4) MBZs — Identifies MBZs formed through Fair Value Gap inversions
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) — Tracks FVGs that flip polarity with directional alignment
Market Structure Levels — Displays minor and major buyside/sellside liquidity levels
SMT Divergences — Multi-symbol divergence detection tied to MBZ formations
HTF Open Levels — Power of Three (PO3) analysis with auto-timeframe pairing
Session Filters — Time-based filtering for precise setup validation
Smart Alerts — Forming and validated alerts for all MBZ types
Components Explained
1. Liquidity Level MBZs
Liquidity MBZs form when price:
Sweeps a swing high or swing low (taking liquidity)
Shows immediate rejection with a directional candle
Closes back through the body midpoint of the sweep candle
Bullish MBZ: Forms after a low sweep → Price reverses up aggressively
Bearish MBZ: Forms after a high sweep → Price reverses down aggressively
The zone is drawn from the sweep extreme to the close of the confirmation candle, creating a potential re-entry area if price returns.
Settings Include:
Direction filter (Both/Bullish/Bearish)
Display options (Box/Levels/Both/Close Level)
Zone transparency and colors
25/75% internal levels
Midline display
Historical display count (prioritizes zones closest to price)
PO3 Open alignment filter
2. Type 4 (T4) MBZs
T4 MBZs are a more refined entry model that combines Fair Value Gap analysis with reversal confirmation:
A Fair Value Gap forms in the market
Price returns to tap the FVG
A two-candle reversal pattern confirms the reaction
This creates a tighter, more precise zone compared to standard Liquidity MBZs.
Additional T4 Features:
Lookback period for FVG detection
Consolidation filter (prevents clustering of T4s within X bars)
Optional requirement for Liquidity MBZ directional alignment
Independent historical display settings
3. Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs)
IFVGs occur when a Fair Value Gap is violated (price closes through it), flipping its polarity:
A bullish FVG that gets closed below becomes a bearish IFVG
A bearish FVG that gets closed above becomes a bullish IFVG
Directional Alignment Feature:
When enabled (default), IFVGs only form when aligned with the current MBZ direction. This creates a cycle:
MBZ forms → Sets directional bias
IFVGs can now form in that direction
Reference MBZ invalidated - IFVG cycle stops
Waits for new MBZ to establish fresh direction
This prevents counter-trend IFVGs from cluttering your chart.
Settings Include:
Classic (box) or Line display style
Lookback filter for source FVGs
Cluster filter (cooldown between IFVGs)
Volume Imbalance inclusion option
Direction filter
MBZ directional alignment toggle
4. Market Structure Levels
Automatically detects and displays swing structure using a multi-timeframe swing detection algorithm:
Minor Levels: Intermediate-term swing highs and lows
Major Levels: Long-term swing highs and lows
Levels extend until filled (price trades through them) and can be customized with various label styles, colors, and display modes.
5. SMT Divergences
Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergences detect when correlated instruments make divergent swing highs or lows — a potential sign of manipulation or reversal.
Auto-Detection Pairs:
Index Futures: NQ ↔ ES ↔ YM ↔ RTY
Metals: GC ↔ SI ↔ PL
Energy: CL ↔ RB ↔ NG
Key Feature: SMT lines only appear when there's a nearby MBZ in the corresponding direction, filtering out noise and highlighting only the most relevant divergences.
6. HTF Open Levels (PO3)
Displays higher timeframe open prices for Power of Three analysis:
Auto Timeframe Pairing: Automatically selects optimal HTF based on your chart
Vertical session markers: Shows HTF candle boundaries
Open level lines: Track where the HTF candle opened
Auto Pairing Logic:
Sub-1min → 5min
1-2min → 15min
3-4min → 1H
5-9min → 4H
10-59min → Daily
1-4H → Weekly
Daily → Monthly
7. Session Filters
Filter setups to only appear during specific trading sessions:
Two customizable session windows
Timezone selection (NY, Chicago, LA, London, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, Sydney)
Only applies on timeframes ≤ 1 hour
Perfect for traders who only trade specific killzones (London Open, NY AM, etc.)
8. PO3 Open Filters
Both Liquidity MBZs and T4 MBZs have optional PO3 alignment filters:
Aligned: Bullish MBZs below HTF open, Bearish above
Reversed: Bullish MBZs above HTF open, Bearish below
Both: No filtering
This helps align entries with the anticipated Power of Three expansion direction.
How to Use It
Basic Workflow:
Identify Bias: Look for a fresh MBZ (Liquidity or T4) to establish direction
Wait for Retest: Price often returns to test MBZ zones
Confirm with IFVGs: IFVGs forming in the same direction add confluence
Check SMT: SMT divergence near an MBZ increases probability
Enter at Zone: Look for lower timeframe confirmation at MBZ levels
Zone Levels:
Close Level: The confirmation candle's close — often the most reactive level
Midline (50%): Equilibrium of the zone
25%/75% Levels: Internal zone levels for precision entries
Invalidation:
Bullish MBZ invalidates on close below zone bottom
Bearish MBZ invalidates on close above zone top
Use "Delete Invalidated" setting to auto-remove or keep for reference
Alerts
The indicator includes comprehensive alerts:
MBZ Forming: Triggers when pattern is developing (before candle close)
MBZ Validated: Triggers when pattern confirms (after candle close)
Separate toggles for Liquidity MBZs and T4 MBZs
Alert messages include symbol and timeframe for easy identification.
Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a trading system. Always:
Use proper risk management
Combine with your own analysis
Backtest before live trading
Understand that no indicator guarantees profits
Past performance does not indicate future results. Trade responsibly.
