Swing FlowSwing Flow is a market structure indicator designed to identify and trade with the prevailing trend by tracking swing highs and swing lows. Based on the principle that markets trending higher print higher highs and higher lows while markets trending lower print lower highs and lower lows, the indicator automatically detects these pivot points and classifies the current structure as Bullish, Bearish, Contracting, or Expanding. When structure is confirmed bullish, the indicator calculates an invalidation level set 2% below the most recent higher low, providing a logical stop placement where the bullish thesis would be negated if price trades through it. A key feature is the Early Warning System, which alerts traders when price breaks above a prior swing high or below a prior swing low before the new pivot is officially confirmed. Because pivot detection requires several bars of confirmation, this early warning gives traders advance notice that structure may be shifting, allowing earlier entries with defined risk rather than waiting for lagging confirmation. When the early warning is active, the indicator displays the potential invalidation level and calculates the risk percentage from current price, helping traders assess whether the reward-to-risk ratio justifies an entry. The indicator marks CME gold open times with vertical lines, highlighting the 6 PM ET session opens that often bring increased liquidity and directional moves. Sunday opens are marked with thicker yellow lines to distinguish the weekly open from regular daily session opens. This feature is particularly useful for gold traders using PAXG as a crypto proxy or GLD in traditional brokerage accounts, though the indicator works on any asset with swing structure. The info table displays comprehensive market data including the current structure state, early warning status, last confirmed swing high and low with color coding to indicate whether each was higher or lower than its predecessor, the invalidation level and risk percentage, and buy zone status which activates when price approaches the higher low in bullish structure. Technical indicators include RSI with 5-zone color coding from oversold to overbought, ADX for trend strength, and directional movement indicators showing whether bulls or bears are dominant. Open interest analysis provides insight into positioning and leverage in crypto markets, displaying OI score with conviction levels, sentiment classification based on OI and price movement relationships, buildup risk assessment combining OI elevation with ATR compression, and leverage pressure scoring that synthesizes multiple factors into a single actionable metric. The final row shows 1-hour and daily 24-period EMAs with green or red backgrounds indicating whether price is above or below each level, providing quick trend confirmation across timeframes. The scoring bars at the top and bottom of the chart offer at-a-glance momentum and direction assessment. The RSI bar at top uses a 5-zone color scheme progressing from dark green in oversold territory through lime, white at neutral, pink, and maroon in overbought territory. The Directional bar at bottom combines the directional movement reading with ADX strength, displaying green tones when the bullish DI is dominant and red tones when bearish DI leads, with color intensity increasing as ADX indicates stronger trending conditions. Swing Flow is designed for traders who want to align with market structure rather than fight it, entering positions near logical support levels with predefined invalidation points that keep losses small when wrong while allowing profits to run when the structure thesis proves correct. The combination of structure detection, early warning alerts, comprehensive market data, and visual scoring bars provides everything needed to identify high-probability setups and manage risk effectively.

Ayan EMAV HunterThe script involves 2 zones. The Blue Zone is the Hunting Zone and the Red Zone helps to decide the which side to trade. If the Blue Zone is above the Red Zone, we search for UpTrend Trades of 1:2 and we need to observe the candles with the Yellow Arrow which indicates Smart Money entering Similarly, If the Blue Zone is below the Red Zone, we search for Bearish Trades with 1:2 Risk/Reward and we need to observe the candles with the Yellow Arrow which indicates Smart Money entering If the Blue Zone lies within the Red Zone, then NO Trade, Just Observe Please share your feedback if it can be refined

Dynamic Risk and RewardThe Dynamic Equity Projection (DEP Map) is an institutional-grade visual execution tool designed to automate risk-to-reward mapping directly on your chart. Unlike standard drawing tools, it is context-aware—calculating volatility and trend bias in real-time to provide a "live" projection of your trade's potential.Core Logic & Intelligence1. Trend-Filtered SentimentThe indicator uses a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a directional filter.Bullish Map: If the current price is above the EMA, the DEP Map projects a green "Long" zone.Bearish Map: If the price is below the EMA, it instantly flips to a red "Short" zone.This helps traders stay aligned with the primary market momentum, avoiding the trap of "trading against the tide."2. Volatility-Adaptive Risk (ATR)Rather than using arbitrary point distances, the DEP Map utilizes the Average True Range (ATR).It measures the market's "noise" level over the last 14 bars.The Stop Loss is set at a multiplier (default 1.5x) of this volatility, ensuring your stop is wide enough to survive market breathing but tight enough to maintain a high R:R.Technical FeaturesFeatureDescriptionProfessional BenefitProjection BoxA dynamic rectangle that extends into the "future" (right-side offset).Keeps the current price action clear while providing a visual goalpost for the trade.Persistent LogicUses advanced var object handling to prevent "ghosting" or label stacking.Ensures a clean, high-performance chart interface without clutter.R:R Equity LadderSegments the profit zone into specific milestones: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and the "Equity Target" (5.0).Allows for precise partial profit-taking and psychological target setting.Dashed SL LineA high-contrast red dashed line indicating the invalidation point.Provides an immediate visual cue of the trade's total risk.How to Use the DEP MapIdentify the Bias: Observe the color of the box. A green box suggests looking for buying opportunities; a red box suggests selling.Verify the Levels: The labels on the right edge of the box provide the exact price points for your Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.Execute & Manage:R:R 1.0: The "Safety Point." Many traders move their stop to breakeven here.R:R 2.0 - 3.0: The "Standard Exit." This is where the bulk of the trade's profit is usually captured.Equity Target: The "Home Run." Reserved for high-conviction trend extensions.

Smart money PSP with color themesPSP with Color Themes — Price Strength Parity Indicator PSP with Color Themes is a visual correlation indicator designed to detect Price Strength Parity (PSP) between the current chart symbol and a reference symbol. It highlights candles where price behavior between two correlated instruments diverges or aligns, which is often used in SMT (Smart Money Technique) and intermarket analysis. The indicator works directly on the chart and colors candles when a PSP condition is detected, using flexible and customizable color themes. 📌 What Is PSP (Price Strength Parity)? PSP identifies situations where two correlated assets: Move in opposite directions → Direct PSP (classic SMT divergence) Move in the same direction → Inverse PSP (confirmation mode) Such behavior often precedes: Reversals Continuations Liquidity grabs Market structure shifts ⚙️ Indicator Inputs Reference Symbol Defines the second asset used for comparison (e.g., ETHUSDT vs BTCUSDT). Purpose: To detect relative strength or weakness between two correlated markets. Inverse Correlation Mode Inverse Correlation Mode (true / false) Allows switching between divergence-based and confirmation-based analysis. Color Theme Available presets: Green / Red Blue / Orange Purple / Yellow Teal / Pink Custom Purpose: Adapts the indicator visually to different chart styles and backgrounds. 📈 How to Use in Trading Typical use cases: SMT divergence detection Intermarket confirmation Reversal timing Liquidity sweep context SMC / ICT models Recommended combinations: Market Structure (BOS / CHoCH) Fair Value Gaps Liquidity levels Session highs /lows ⚠️ Important Notes PSP is context-based, not a standalone entry system Best results on correlated markets: BTC / ETH Indices (ES / NQ / YM) FX pairs (EURUSD / DXY)

PowerCandles - FVGThe FVG Body Highlighter is a high-visibility tool designed to identify institutional displacement and price imbalances in real-time. By focusing strictly on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) sequence, it isolates the exact moment "Smart Money" enters the market with enough force to leave an imbalance behind. Core Functionality Mechanical Detection: Automatically scans for the 3-candle FVG sequence where the wick of Candle 1 and the wick of Candle 3 fail to meet, leaving a "gap." Body-Centric Highlighting: Unlike standard box-heavy indicators, this tool colors the entire body of the second candle (the displacement bar). This keeps your chart clean and highlights the force of the move rather than just the area. Institutional Intent: It filters out noise by only marking candles that create a true structural gap, signaling that a significant buy or sell program has been initiated. Strategic Use Trend Confirmation: Use the body highlight as a "green light" that momentum has shifted in your direction after tapping a key institutional level. Zero-Clutter Mapping: Because it highlights bars rather than drawing boxes into the future, it is perfect for traders who prefer a clean price action chart but want to catch every Fair Value Gap as it forms. Confluence Entry: An A+ setup occurs when the FVG Body Highlighter triggers as price bounces off a PDH/PDL or Midnight Open level.

Institutional Structure [Clean Pro]Institutional Structure — Script Explanation This script is designed to map institutional market behavior using high-timeframe structure, not retail noise. It focuses on where smart money acts, not on frequent signals. 🔹 1. High-Timeframe Support & Resistance (HTF S/R) The script identifies major structural highs and lows using a higher lookback period. Purpose: Defines where institutions previously distributed or accumulated Acts as natural decision zones Filters out low-quality intraday levels Why it matters: Institutions trade from key HTF levels, not random support/resistance. 🔹 2. Equilibrium (50% Mean Price) The equilibrium line represents the fair price between HTF high and low. How it’s used: Below equilibrium → discount zone (buy interest) Above equilibrium → premium zone (sell interest) Professional insight: Smart money prefers buying discounts and selling premiums, not chasing price. 🔹 3. Market Structure Shift (MSS) Instead of frequent BOS labels, the script detects true directional shifts. Bullish MSS: Price closes above previous HTF high Bearish MSS: Price closes below previous HTF low Why MSS over BOS: MSS confirms control change Reduces false signals Aligns with institutional execution logic 🔹 4. Liquidity Sweep Detection (Wick-Based) The script identifies stop-hunt behavior using wick rejection logic. Buy-side liquidity: Wick above HTF high, but close back below Sell-side liquidity: Wick below HTF low, but close back above Meaning: Stops were triggered, but price failed to accept → smart money absorption 🔹 5. Fair Value Gap (FVG) – Refined Imbalance Fair Value Gaps highlight inefficient price movement. Bullish FVG: Price leaves an upside imbalance Bearish FVG: Price leaves a downside imbalance How pros use it: As reaction zones, not entry signals Best combined with liquidity + MSS 🔍 How Everything Works Together The script is context-based, not signal-based: 1️⃣ HTF structure defines the battlefield 2️⃣ Liquidity is taken (stop hunts) 3️⃣ MSS confirms direction 4️⃣ FVG offers precision 5️⃣ Equilibrium filters bias This creates high-probability trade environments, not overtrading. 📌 Best Practices (Professional Use) Timeframes: 1H / 4H / Daily Avoid lower TF noise Trade only after liquidity is taken Use FVG as confirmation, not trigger Respect equilibrium bias 🎯 Summary ✔ Clean institutional logic ✔ No clutter, no spam ✔ HTF-driven decisions ✔ Liquidity-first mindset ✔ Designed for BTC, Gold & FX 🧠 Trade where institutions trade — not where indicators flash.
