Sweep + MSS# Sweep + MSS Indicator
This indicator identifies market sweeps and Market Structure Shifts (MSS) to help traders recognize potential trend changes and market manipulations.
How it works:
1. Sweep Detection:
- Identifies when price briefly moves beyond a recent high/low (pivot point) and then reverses.
- Bullish sweep: Price drops below a recent low, then closes above it.
- Bearish sweep: Price rises above a recent high, then closes below it.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS):
- Occurs when price action invalidates a previous sweep level.
- Bullish MSS: Price closes above a bearish sweep level.
- Bearish MSS: Price closes below a bullish sweep level.
Key Features:
- Customizable pivot lookback length for sweep detection
- Minimum bar requirement after a sweep before MSS can trigger
- One MSS per sweep level to avoid multiple signals
- Visual representation with lines connecting sweep points to MSS triggers
- Emoji labels for easy identification (🐂-MSS for bullish, 🐻-MSS for bearish)
Logic Behind MSS:
The MSS aims to identify potential trend changes by recognizing when the market invalidates a previous sweep level. This often indicates a shift in market structure, suggesting that the previous trend may be weakening or reversing.
- A bullish MSS occurs when the price closes above a bearish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment.
- A bearish MSS occurs when the price closes below a bullish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.
By requiring a minimum number of bars between the sweep and the MSS, the indicator helps filter out noise and focuses on more significant structural changes in the market.
This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders looking to identify potential trend changes and entry/exit points based on market structure analysis.
Chart patterns
Merged Efficiency & Time-Based OscillatorThis indicator is a fusion of two key trading concepts: the Efficiency Ratio and the Time-to-Change RSI, designed to give a comprehensive analysis of market movement and trend sustainability.
Efficiency Ratio (ER): This part of the indicator measures how effectively the market is moving in a certain direction by comparing net price change to the total price movement over a set period. The ratio helps identify whether the market is trending smoothly or experiencing choppy, inefficient moves. A higher ratio indicates more efficient, directional movement, while a lower ratio suggests market noise or indecision.
Time-to-Change RSI: This section tracks both the duration and value of upward and downward price movements. It calculates how much time is spent in upward or downward trends (gain time vs. loss time) and the size of these price changes. The Time-to-Change RSI and the Value RSI provide insight into how long and how strongly the market has been moving in one direction, helping traders gauge potential shifts in momentum.
By merging these two indicators, the resulting oscillator offers a more dynamic signal that highlights both market efficiency and momentum. The combined output shows how efficiently the market is trending while also taking into account the time spent in these trends and the relative strength of price changes. This allows traders to detect possible trend reversals, overbought/oversold conditions, and shifts in market momentum.
The indicator plots the merged signal, as well as overbought and oversold thresholds.
Oversold and overbought levels seem to be really effective

Personal Nested Fractal IndicatorThis script implements a nested fractal-based indicator that identifies potential buy and sell signals by analyzing fractal patterns in price action. It calculates larger and smaller fractal highs and lows and uses these patterns to confirm entry points. When smaller fractals appear within the range of larger fractals, the script generates buy or sell signals, which are plotted on the chart as visual markers. The logic is based on detecting price turning points through fractal analysis without any further complexity or additional filters.
Gap and Candle Pattern with Wick ConditionThis script is designed to identify specific gap and candlestick patterns, incorporating wick conditions for enhanced accuracy. It detects gap up and gap down movements between candles, then looks for shooting star (bearish reversal) or hammer (bullish reversal) formations. Additionally, the script applies a condition where the wicks of these patterns must be longer than the previous candle’s range. When both the gap and wick criteria are met, the script generates signals for potential reversals in the market
Fractal & Entropy Market Dynamics with Mexican Hat WaveletThis indicator combines fractal analysis, entropy, and wavelet theory to model market dynamics using a customized approach. It integrates advanced mathematical techniques to assess the complexity and structure of price action, while also incorporating volume and price volatility.
Key Concepts and Features:
Volume-Weighted Price:
The script calculates a volume-adjusted price using a moving average of volume to give more weight to periods with higher volume. This allows the indicator to account for the impact of trading volume on price movements, enhancing its sensitivity to significant price shifts.
Mexican Hat Wavelet Approximation:
The script employs the Mexican Hat Wavelet, a mathematical tool that approximates price movements based on the Laplacian of the price series. This helps capture localized oscillations in price, acting as a filter to highlight certain price dynamics over the specified length. This wavelet is commonly used to identify key inflection points and trends in financial data.
Fractal Dimension Calculation:
The fractal dimension is calculated to quantify the market's complexity. It measures how price moves between intervals, with higher values indicating chaotic or more volatile market behavior. This dimension captures the self-similarity in price movements across different time frames, a key feature of fractals.
Shannon Entropy Calculation:
Shannon Entropy is used to measure the randomness or uncertainty in the price action. It calculates the degree of unpredictability based on the price changes, providing insight into the market's informational efficiency. Higher entropy indicates more randomness, while lower entropy suggests more predictable trends.
Custom Normalization:
The script includes a custom normalization function that processes the composite score (derived from fractal dimension and entropy). This normalization helps scale the values into a consistent range, making it easier to interpret the output. The smoothing factor and RSI-based approach ensure that the normalized value reacts smoothly to the changes in market dynamics.
Composite Score:
The composite score is a weighted combination of the fractal dimension and entropy. This score aims to provide a holistic view of the market by combining the structural complexity (fractal) and randomness (entropy) into one unified metric.
Plotting and Visuals:
The indicator plots the normalized composite score on a scale where a baseline of 50 is provided for reference. The resulting plot helps traders visualize market dynamics, with the score fluctuating based on changes in the market's fractal dimension and entropy. A score above or below the baseline of 50 indicates potential market shifts.
Use Case:
The "Enhanced Fractal and Entropy Market Dynamics with Mexican Hat Wavelet" is useful for traders looking to identify market conditions where there is a balance between price structure and randomness. By integrating wavelets, fractals, and entropy, the indicator can provide insights into market complexity, helping traders recognize potential trend reversals, periods of consolidation, or increased volatility. This can be particularly effective for those employing swing trading or trend-following strategies
BOS TRADER [v 1.0] [Influxum]The name of the tool, BOS Trader, comes from the abbreviation BOS, which stands for Break Of Structure. In simple terms, this tool identifies situations where a change in market structure occurs after liquidity has been grabbed. Following the structural change, it looks for a point where the balance between buyers and sellers will be tested, potentially continuing the price movement in the direction of the structural break.
The goal of this tool is to identify areas where a trader can look for potential entry opportunities based on their entry rules and filters. In our own research, we found that while this tool is not a standalone strategy, it provides a statistical advantage that stems from the nature of the market itself. If you expect the market to reverse at a certain price level against a short-term, medium-term, or long-term trend, that reversal must logically begin with a change in structure – i.e., its break. BOS Trader then highlights the zone where you can expect a strong reaction from traders speculating on the continuation of price in the direction of the break.
Another important piece of the puzzle is the concept of liquidity. Liquidity grabs are generally considered by traders to be events that can trigger market direction changes. That's why BOS Trader is complemented with multiple ways to identify liquidity in the market from a Price Action perspective. We have explored the liquidity concept in depth in our other tools – the Liquidity Tool and Liquidity Strategy Tester – so we won’t go into too much detail on liquidity settings here.
🟪 Pivots
Liquidity can be found beyond pivot extremes – the highest candles in a series of candles. The pivot liquidity setting specifies how many candles must be before and after the pivot candle with a lower high for a pivot high or a higher low for a pivot low. A pivot high is the local highest point of the last 31 candles (15 before the pivot candle, the pivot candle itself, and 15 after). Another option is to set the time period in which the pivot extreme must occur. For example, you can differentiate between pivot highs of the Asian or London session.
🟪 % Percent Change
This setting is based on the well-known Zig Zag indicator and confirms swing highs or swing lows when there is a certain percentage change in price. This helps filter out noise that can occur when the market consolidates and randomly creates pivot highs or lows that aren’t significant.
🟪 Session High/Low
Many popular strategies are based on liquidity defined as the price range of a specific trading session. This doesn't have to be London, Asia, or New York sessions, but could be, for instance, the first hour of the New York session, and so on.
🟪 Day High/Low, Week High/Low, Month High/Low
As the name suggests, liquidity is often defined by the high/low of the previous day, week, or month. These price levels are watched by many market participants, and it's reasonable to expect reactions at these levels. That’s why we included this option in the BOS tool.
Tip for Traders
To avoid common issues with setting the correct session time, we have added the BG option to the tool – the ability to display a background for the configured trading session. This makes it easy to verify that your trading session is set correctly in relation to your time zone.
Delete grabbed liquidity
If a liquidity level is breached by price, it becomes invalid. For those who prefer to keep their charts clean and uncluttered, there is an option to delete grabbed liquidity. This way, only untraded, valid liquidity lines will be visible on the chart.
Bars after liquidity grab
A liquidity grab should be a significant event that triggers a reaction from market participants. To ensure this is a real response to liquidity rather than random market behavior, we added a time test to the BOS tool. A structural break must occur within a specified time after the liquidity grab. You can define this time in the tool as the number of bars after which the structural break is still considered valid following the liquidity grab.
🟪 AOI (Area of Interest) Settings
Initially, it's important to note that there are two main options for setting the behavior of the AOI. The first option is to fix its duration by the number of bars – Duration, and the second is to keep the AOI valid until it is traded through – Extended.
Duration
Since we expect a quick reaction to the liquidity grab, we also expect a fast pullback to the AOI and a swift response of traders. Our research has shown that the strongest reactions typically occur within a maximum of 15 bars from the formation of the AOI (fractally across timeframes). Therefore, this value is set as the default. However, we recommend considering not just the speed of the reaction but also its intensity. After the set number of bars, the AOI stops extending further.
Extended
We have noticed that price has a tendency to return to the AOI even after a longer period and react again. For this reason, we included the option in the BOS tool to extend the AOI into the future, with the ability to freely adjust the Max AOI Length.
🟪 AOI Size Mode
There are two options for setting the size of the AOI. Either it can be calculated as a percentage of the swing size (% of swing) in which the structural break occurred (the default setting is 30%), or you can set a different concept for the AOI size. For example, the well-known Optimal Trade Entry model. Custom values can be set in the FIBO Levels option, where you can define either preferred Fibonacci values or values based on your own criteria.
🟪 Trading Session (signals + alerts + visibility)
The main goal of our tools is to make it easier for traders to identify patterns and opportunities in the market and allow them to be alerted to their occurrence. The time for AOI plotting after a liquidity grab is combined into a single Trading Session function. This controls both the AOI plotting and when the tool will send alerts. All of this is aimed at helping traders avoid spending the entire day in front of their monitors, waiting for trading opportunities. Here, too, you can use the BG feature to plot a background on the chart showing the current session.
🟪 Trading within session range
We found that some traders have difficulty navigating the many AOIs plotted during times when the market consolidates and creates numerous false breakouts. Therefore, we included an option in the BOS tool to track only structural changes at the price extremes of the current day and trading session. The tool will not plot structural changes for internal liquidity grabs (within the session range), but only for external liquidity grabs (highest highs and lowest lows of the session or liquidity from previous days).
Visuals
The BOS tool is, of course, supplemented with the option to customize the appearance of all its components according to your preferences.
2 Bar Master Pattern Indicator ( MTF Inside Bars ) THE 2 BAR MASTER PATTERN IS A PRICE ACTION INDICATOR
It is based off of the master pattern concepts which explains the market moving through a 3 phase cycle.
Phase 1 - Contraction
Phase 2 - Expansion
Phase 3 - Trending
THESE 3 PHASES ARE HAPPENING ON EVERY TIME FRAME AND ON EVERY ASSET CLASS.
The first phase of the cycle is the contraction phase, this is where price goes
into contraction which is measure by a simultaneous lower high / higher low.
The contraction phase can be measured with many forms of contraction methods, such as 2 bar / 3 bar and multi bar contraction detection.
The 2 bar master pattern detects inside bars, based off 2 bar candle detection, when detected it will color the candle and a value line will project out of the center.
When it identifies an inside bar it will bring a line through the centre of the inside bar which is known as a value line, these are key levels that price can either find support or resistance on these levels, or a level when broken price can breakout and take off.
MTF FUNCTIONALITY
We have coded into the logic a Multi Time Frame function so that you can have it identify any inside bar on any time frame. 2 bar inside bars work best on higher time frames such as the 4hr and above therefore with the multi time frame functionality you can set it to a higher time frame of choice and be on a lower chart timeframe where you will take your entries off of.
SHORT ENTRY EXAMPLE
LONG ENTRY EXAMPLE
In the example above its set to the weekly chart as the time frame to detect the 2 bar master patterns, and the timeframe for entry is the 4hr time frame, this will change depending on your trading style and timeframes you like to trade on.
2 BAR MASTER PATTERNS CAN BE USED FOR REVERSALS AND CONTINUATION TRADING.
CONTINUATION INSIDE BAR TRADING
When you have a inside bar formed on a higher time frame, you mark the high and low of the inside bar, and depending on the direction of the trend - if on a up trend and it breaks the high of the inside bar is an long entry - and if its on a downtrend and the low of the inside bar is broken thats the set up for a short entry.
REVERSAL INSIDE BAR TRADING
When you have an inside bar forming at the bottom or top of a range or key level, this can be a sign of weakness and a potential area where price will reverse in the opposite direction.
2 BAR MASTER PATTERN INSIDE BARS EITHER SHOW STRENGHTH OR WEAKNESS OF A TREND
If combined in combination with the higher time frame trend direction and the master patten concepts principles, you can find amazing entries.
Best place to look for long entries on a confirmed uptrend is when price is under the value lines
Best place to look for short entries on a confirmed downtrend is when price is above the value lines
Once you understand that the market is moving in this 3 phase cycle and become adept and identifying the 1st phase which is the contraction phase, it can open the door to a new way of percieving the market and making sense of the seemingly randomness of how it moves.
ICT Master Suite [Trading IQ]Hello Traders!
We’re excited to introduce the ICT Master Suite by TradingIQ, a new tool designed to bring together several ICT concepts and strategies in one place.
The Purpose Behind the ICT Master Suite
There are a few challenges traders often face when using ICT-related indicators:
Many available indicators focus on one or two ICT methods, which can limit traders who apply a broader range of ICT related techniques on their charts.
There aren't many indicators for ICT strategy models, and we couldn't find ICT indicators that allow for testing the strategy models and setting alerts.
Many ICT related concepts exist in the public domain as indicators, not strategies! This makes it difficult to verify that the ICT concept has some utility in the market you're trading and if it's worth trading - it's difficult to know if it's working!
Some users might not have enough chart space to apply numerous ICT related indicators, which can be restrictive for those wanting to use multiple ICT techniques simultaneously.
The ICT Master Suite is designed to offer a comprehensive option for traders who want to apply a variety of ICT methods. By combining several ICT techniques and strategy models into one indicator, it helps users maximize their chart space while accessing multiple tools in a single slot.
Additionally, the ICT Master Suite was developed as a strategy . This means users can backtest various ICT strategy models - including deep backtesting. A primary goal of this indicator is to let traders decide for themselves what markets to trade ICT concepts in and give them the capability to figure out if the strategy models are worth trading!
What Makes the ICT Master Suite Different
There are many ICT-related indicators available on TradingView, each offering valuable insights. What the ICT Master Suite aims to do is bring together a wider selection of these techniques into one tool. This includes both key ICT methods and strategy models, allowing traders to test and activate strategies all within one indicator.

How To Use
Many traders will already be familiar with the ICT related concepts listed above, and will find using the ICT Master Suite quite intuitive!
Despite this, let's go over the features of the tool in-depth and how to use the tool!
The image above shows the ICT Master Suite with almost all techniques activated.
ICT 2022 Strategy Model
The ICT Master suite provides the ability to test, set alerts for, and live trade the ICT 2022 Strategy Model.
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the 2022 ICT model.
A liquidity sweep occurs prior to an upside breakout. During the upside breakout the model looks for the FVG that is nearest 50% of the setup range. A limit order is placed at this FVG for entry.
The target entry percentage for the range is customizable in the settings. For instance, you can select to enter at an FVG nearest 33% of the range, 20%, 66%, etc.
The profit target for the model generally uses the highest high of the range (100%) for longs and the lowest low of the range (100%) for shorts. Stop losses are generally set at 0% of the range.
The image above shows the short model in action!
Whether you decide to follow the 2022 model diligently or not, you can still set alerts when the entry condition is met.
ICT Unicorn Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the ICT Unicorn model.
A lower swing low followed by a higher swing high precedes the overlap of an FVG and breaker block formed during the sequence.
During the upside breakout the model looks for an FVG and breaker block that formed during the sequence and overlap each other. A limit order is placed at the nearest overlap point to current price.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the swing high and the stop loss at the swing low. However, both the profit target and stop loss for this model are configurable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Longs, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing Low
Bottom of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the short version of the Unicorn Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
For Shorts, the selectable stop losses are:
Swing High
Top of FVG or breaker block
The image above shows the profit target and stop loss options in the settings for the Unicorn Model.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the OTE model.
Price retraces either 0.62, 0.705, or 0.79 of an upside move and a trade is entered.
The profit target for this example trade is set at the -0.5 fib level. This is also adjustable in the settings.
For Longs, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing High
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
The image above shows the short version of the OTE Model in action!
For Shorts, the selectable profit targets are:
Swing Low
Fib -0.5
Fib -1
Fib -2
Liquidity Raid Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Liquidity Raid Modell.
The user must define the session in the settings (for this example it is 13:30-16:00 NY time).
During the session, the indicator will calculate the session high and session low. Following a “raid” of either the session high or session low (after the session has completed) the script will look for an entry at a recently formed breaker block.
If the session high is raided the script will look for short entries at a bearish breaker block. If the session low is raided the script will look for long entries at a bullish breaker block.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Swing high
User inputted Lib level
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Swing low
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block bottom
The image above shows the short version of the Liquidity Raid Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Swing Low
User inputted Lib level
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Swing High
User inputted Lib level
Breaker block top
Silver Bullet Model
The image above shows an example of a long position being entered following a complete setup for the Silver Bullet Modell.
During the session, the indicator will determine the higher timeframe bias. If the higher timeframe bias is bullish the strategy will look to enter long at an FVG that forms during the session. If the higher timeframe bias is bearish the indicator will look to enter short at an FVG that forms during the session.
For Longs, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing High Above Entry
Previous Day High
For Longs, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing Low
Previous Day Low
The image above shows the short version of the Silver Bullet Model in action!
For Shorts, the profit target options are:
Nearest Swing Low Below Entry
Previous Day Low
For Shorts, the stop loss options are:
Nearest Swing High
Previous Day High

ICT Macros are only displayable on the 5 minute timeframe or less.
Strategy Performance Table
In addition to a full-fledged TradingView backtest for any of the ICT strategy models the indicator offers, a quick-and-easy strategy table exists for the indicator!
The image above shows the strategy performance table in action.
Keep in mind that, because the ICT Master Suite is a strategy script, you can perform fully automatic backtests, deep backtests, easily add commission and portfolio balance and look at pertinent metrics for the ICT strategies you are testing!
Lite Mode
Traders who want the cleanest chart possible can toggle on “Lite Mode”!
In Lite Mode, any neon or “glow” like effects are removed and key levels are marked as strict border boxes. You can also select to remove box borders if that’s what you prefer!
Settings Used For Backtest
For the displayed backtest, a starting balance of $1000 USD was used. A commission of 0.02%, slippage of 2 ticks, a verify price for limit orders of 2 ticks, and 5% of capital investment per order.
A commission of 0.02% was used due to the backtested asset being a perpetual future contract for a crypto currency. The highest commission (lowest-tier VIP) for maker orders on many exchanges is 0.02%. All entered positions take place as maker orders and so do profit target exits. Stop orders exist as stop-market orders.
A slippage of 2 ticks was used to simulate more realistic stop-market orders. A verify limit order settings of 2 ticks was also used. Even though BTCUSDT.P on Binance is liquid, we just want the backtest to be on the safe side. Additionally, the backtest traded 100+ trades over the period. The higher the sample size the better; however, this example test can serve as a starting point for traders interested in ICT concepts.
Community Assistance And Feedback
Given the complexity and idiosyncratic applications of ICT concepts amongst its proponents, the ICT Master Suite’s built-in strategies and level identification methods might not align with everyone's interpretation.
That said, the best we can do is precisely define ICT strategy rules and concepts to a repeatable process, test, and apply them! Whether or not an ICT strategy is trading precisely how you would trade it, seeing the model in action, taking trades, and with performance statistics is immensely helpful in assessing predictive utility.
If you think we missed something, you notice a bug, have an idea for strategy model improvement, please let us know! The ICT Master Suite is an ongoing project that will, ideally, be shaped by the community.
A big thank you to the @PineCoders for their Time Library!
Thank you!

Price Action All In OneThis indicator represents the most advanced level of price action indicators, incorporating six useful features: traditional gaps, shadow gaps, bar counting, moving averages, previous values, and IO pattern matching .
When I refer to price action, I mean the teachings of Dr. Al Brooks.
While you can find these features in other indicators, mine is more advanced. The default settings are designed to work on a 5-minute timeframe, but you can also use this indicator on other time periods if you prefer.
Gaps
Traditional Gaps: Occurs when the lowest price of a bar is higher than the highest price of the previous bar, or the highest price of a bar is lower than the lowest price of the previous bar.
Shadow/Tail Gaps: Occurs when the lowest price of a bar is higher than the highest price of the second last bar, or the highest price of a bar is lower than the lowest price of the second last bar.
Gaps indicate strength, and consecutive gaps in one direction are characteristic of a strong trend. They offer a perspective on the strength of a trend, signifying that limit orders on one side are at a loss with no opportunity to exit at breakeven. Can bulls or bears create gaps? Are the gaps they create filled, or do they remain open?
Traditional Gaps & Shadow/Tail Gaps
Bar Counting
The ability to use different timeframes (e.g., to determine the minute within an hour or the hour within a week).
Consistent display of 1; in other indicators, if you set intervals to 2, you see 2, 4, 6, etc., or 1, 2, 4, 6. In my indicator, you will see 1, 3, 5, etc.
In intraday trading, certain specific times are more important than others. For example, a form of reversal is more likely to occur at the midpoint of the trading day (if there are 80 candles in a day, the midpoint is at the 40th candle).
This doesn't mean you should make reversal trades at the 40th candle. The bar count feature simply reminds you of the current time, helping you gauge how long until the trading day ends. For instance, if there are 80 candles in a day and you're an intraday trader, you probably shouldn't make a swing trade at the 70th candle because there are only 10 candles left until the close—likely not enough time for a swing to develop.
Additionally, if you trade on a 5-minute timeframe, seeing candles numbered 3, 6, 9, etc. indicates the close of a 15-minute candle. This means that in addition to 5-minute timeframe traders, 15-minute timeframe traders will also pay attention to these candles, making them more significant. For the same reason, the 12th candle is crucial, as its close also marks the close of an hourly candle.
Day Time Frame & Week Time Frame
Moving Averages
Provides three EMAs. You can set different timeframes and choose between continuous or discrete modes.
Moving averages are excellent tools for determining trends. The 20 EMA is particularly popular, which increases its significance. Traders using different timeframes, such as 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour, all utilize the 20 EMA. This indicator allows you to see what traders on 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes are observing, even when you're on a 5-minute timeframe.
Once again, the default settings of this indicator assume that the user is trading intraday on a 5-minute timeframe. However, if that's not the case, you can easily adjust the moving average periods. For instance, if you trade on a 1-hour timeframe and want to display the 4-hour and daily moving averages on your chart, this can be done effortlessly.
5m 20, 15m 20 & 1h 20
Previous Values
Features three previous value displays. You can set their sources and timeframes independently and define the range for all previous values.
For intraday trading, marking the previous day's high, low, and close prices can be crucial. While some other indicators provide this feature, mine does it better. You can set different timeframes and choose various sources. For example, you might want to display the average of (O+H+L+C)/4 for the last week.
In addition to setting the timeframe and source, you can also configure the display range:
All: This will show the data in all positions. For example, you can see the high price from two days ago on yesterday's chart.
Today: This will only display the previous day's high price on the current day's chart.
Timeframe: This will display the data based on the specified timeframe you set.
Last Week High, Last Day Close & Low(Timeframe Display)
IO Pattern Matching
More advanced than other IO pattern matching indicators. For adjacent IIs, it merges to display as III, IIII, and so on. The same applies to OO patterns. Additionally, it automatically merges adjacent IOI and II into IOII, and adjacent OO and IOI into IIOI.
II Pattern: This refers to two consecutive inside bar candles. On a lower timeframe, the II pattern forms a converging triangle, which is a breakout pattern. The II pattern could also potentially become a final flag, which is the last flag in a trend.
OO Pattern: This refers to two consecutive outside bar candles. On a lower timeframe, the OO pattern forms an expanding triangle. You can use the OO pattern similarly to how you would use an expanding triangle.
IOI Pattern: This pattern occurs when the first candle is contained within the second candle, and the third candle is also contained within the second candle. This is a breakout pattern and could similarly represent a terminal flag in a trend.
The appearance of II, OO, or IOI patterns does not necessarily mean you should make a reversal trade. These patterns are meant to mark potential moves in a lower timeframe within the current cycle, providing a new perspective on the market and reminding you to stay vigilant.
You shouldn't look for IO patterns in a tight trading range. There are many IO patterns in a tight trading range, but they don't hold much significance.
II, OO & IOI
AndreundCristianIndicator Overview:
The "Trade Signals with Volume" indicator is a custom script that generates buy and sell signals based on the crossover of two moving averages (a fast one and a slow one) and adds a volume filter to validate these signals. It plots these signals directly on the chart, using arrows or labels to indicate where buy and sell signals occur.
Key Features:
Moving Averages (MA):
The indicator uses two Simple Moving Averages (SMA): a fast SMA and a slow SMA.
A buy signal is triggered when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA, signaling potential bullish momentum.
A sell signal is triggered when the fast MA crosses below the slow MA, indicating potential bearish momentum.
Volume Filter:
To ensure that signals are more reliable, the indicator only triggers a buy or sell signal if the volume is above a certain threshold. This threshold can be adjusted by the user in the input settings.
For example, if the volume exceeds 100,000 (or any set value), and a crossover occurs, the signal is validated.
Visual Representation:
Buy signals are represented with green labels or arrows below the price bars.
Sell signals are represented with red labels or arrows above the price bars.
The MAs are also plotted on the chart for visual reference.
Input Parameters:
Fast Moving Average Length: The number of periods for the fast SMA (default is 9 periods).
Slow Moving Average Length: The number of periods for the slow SMA (default is 21 periods).
Volume Threshold: The minimum volume required to validate a buy or sell signal (default is 100,000).
Prometheus Fractal-Based TrendThe Fractal-Based Trend indicator is a tool that uses fractals to try and detect which direction an underlying will continue to go.
Calculation:
A bullish fractal occurs when the current bar's high is lower than the previous bar high, and the previous bar's high is higher than both the high from two bars ago and the high from three bars ago.
A bearish fractal happens when the current bar's low is higher than the previous bar's low, and the previous bar's low is lower than both the low from two bars ago and the low from three bars ago.
When a bullish or bearish fractal forms, the corresponding value stored is the previous bar high for a bearish fractal or the previous bar's low for a bullish fractal.
The trade scenarios are when these fractals occur, a green or red label being plotted on the chart for whatever direction it predicts.
Trade examples:
We see on this daily chart of AMEX:SPY that the fractals represent the potential for a directional trade that can last a few days. The more volatile a chart is the more of these fractals we can see.
We see on this 5 minute chart for NASDAQ:TSLA there is way more activity, there are more sporadic candles on a lower time frame, so we can see more anomalies in the price action.
We see this to be true for BITSTAMP:BTCUSD even on a daily time frame, since it is very volatile. There are a lot of these labels plotted.
This is the perspective we aim to provide. We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly. No indicator is 100% accurate. This one can give you a different perspective of price strength with volatility. We encourage any comments about desired updates or criticism!

ICT Panther (By Obicrypto) V1 ICT Panther Indicator: Full and Detailed Description
The ICT Panther Indicator, created by Obicrypto, is an advanced technical analysis tool designed specifically for traders looking to identify key price action events based on institutional trading techniques, particularly in the context of the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator helps traders spot market structure breaks, order blocks, and potential trade opportunities driven by institutional behaviors in the market. Here's a detailed breakdown of its features and how it works:
What Does the ICT Panther Indicator Do?
1. Market Structure Breaks (MSB) Identification:
The ICT Panther identifies critical points where the market changes direction, commonly referred to as a break of structure (BoS). When the price breaks above or below certain key levels (based on highs and lows or opens and closes), it signals a potential shift in market sentiment. These break-of-structure points are essential for traders to determine whether the market is likely to continue its trend or reverse.
2. Order Blocks Visualization:
The indicator plots demand (bullish) and supply (bearish) boxes, which represent areas where institutional traders might place significant buy or sell orders. These zones, known as order blocks, are areas where the price tends to pause or reverse, giving traders key insights into potential entry and exit points. The indicator shows these areas graphically as colored boxes on the chart, which can be used to plan trades based on market structure and price action.
3. Pivot Point Detection:
The ICT Panther identifies important pivot points by tracking higher highs and lower lows. These pivot points are critical in determining the strength of a trend and can help traders confirm the direction of the market. The indicator uses a unique algorithm to detect two levels of pivot points:
- First-Order Pivots: Major pivot points where the price makes notable highs and lows.
- Second-Order Pivots: Smaller pivot points, useful for detecting microtrends within the larger market structure.
4. Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure Lines:
When a significant market structure break (BoS) occurs, the indicator will automatically draw red lines (for bearish break of structure) and green lines (for bullish break of structure) at key price levels. These lines help traders quickly see where institutional moves have occurred in the past and where potential future price moves could originate from.
5. Tested and Filled Boxes:
The ICT Panther also has a built-in mechanism to dim previously tested order blocks. When the price tests an order block (returns to a previous demand or supply zone), the box's color dims to indicate that the area has already been tested, reducing its significance. If the price fully fills an order block, the box stops plotting, providing a clear and clutter-free chart.
Key Features
1. Market Structure Break (MSB) Trigger:
- The indicator allows users to select between highs/lows or opens/closes as the trigger for market structure breaks. This flexibility lets traders adjust the indicator to suit their personal trading style or the behavior of specific assets.
2. Order Block Detection and Visualization:
- The tool automatically plots bullish and bearish demand and supply boxes, representing institutional order blocks on the chart. These boxes provide visual cues for areas of potential price action, where institutional traders might be active.
3. Second-Order Pivot Highlighting:
- The ICT Panther offers an option to plot second-order pivots, highlighting smaller pivot points within the larger market structure. These pivots can be helpful for short-term traders who need to react to smaller price movements while still keeping the larger trend in mind.
4. Box Test and Fill Delays:
- Users can configure delays for box tests and box fills, meaning the indicator will only mark a box as tested or filled after a certain number of bars. This prevents false signals and helps confirm that a zone is truly significant in the market.
5. Customization and Visual Clarity:
- The indicator is highly customizable, allowing users to turn on or off various features like:
- Displaying second-order pivots.
- Highlighting candles that broke structure.
- Plotting market structure broke lines.
- Showing or hiding tested and filled demand boxes.
- Setting custom delays for box testing and filling to suit different market conditions.
6. Tested and Filled Order Block Visualization:
- The indicator visually adjusts the tested and filled order blocks, dimming tested zones and removing filled zones to avoid clutter on the chart. This ensures that traders can focus on active trading opportunities without distractions from historical data.
How Does It Work?
1. Detecting Market Structure Breaks (BoS):
- The indicator continuously tracks the market for key price action signals. When the price breaks through previous highs or lows (or opens and closes, depending on your selection), the indicator marks this as a break of structure. This is a critical signal used by institutional traders and retail traders alike to determine potential future price movements.
2. Order Block Identification:
- Whenever a bullish break of structure occurs, the indicator plots a green demand box to show the area where institutional buyers might have placed significant orders. Similarly, for a bearish break of structure, it plots a red supply box representing areas where institutional sellers are active.
3. Pivot Analysis and Tracking:
- As the market moves, the indicator continuously updates first-order and second-order pivot points based on highs and lows. These points help traders identify whether the market is trending or consolidating. Traders can use these pivot points in combination with the order blocks to make informed trading decisions.
4. Box Testing and Filling:
- When the price retests an existing order block, the box dims to show it has been tested. If the price fully fills the box, it is no longer shown, which helps traders focus on the most relevant, untested order blocks.
Benefits for Traders
- Improved Decision-Making: With clear visuals and advanced logic based on institutional trading strategies, this indicator provides a deeper understanding of market structure and price action.
- Reduced Clutter: The indicator intelligently manages the display of order blocks and pivot points, ensuring that traders focus only on the most relevant information.
- Adaptability: Whether you are a swing trader or a day trader, the ICT Panther can be adjusted to fit your trading style, offering robust and flexible tools for tracking market structure and order blocks.
- Institutional Edge: By identifying institutional-level order blocks and market structure breaks, traders using this indicator can trade in line with the strategies of large market participants.
Who Should Use the ICT Panther Indicator?
This indicator is ideal for:
- Crypto, Forex, and Stock Traders who want to incorporate institutional trading concepts into their strategies.
- Technical Analysts looking for precise tools to measure the market structure and price action.
- ICT Traders who follow the Inner Circle Trader methodology and want an advanced tool to automate and enhance their analysis.
- Price Action Traders seeking a reliable indicator to track pivot points, order blocks, and market structure breaks.
The ICT Panther Indicator is a powerful, versatile tool that brings institutional trading techniques to the fingertips of retail traders. Whether you are looking to identify key market structure breaks, order blocks, or crucial pivot points, this indicator offers detailed visualizations and customizable options to help you make more informed trading decisions. With its ability to track the activities of institutional traders, the ICT Panther Indicator equips traders with the insights needed to stay ahead of the market and trade with confidence.
With the ICT Panther Indicator, traders can follow the movements of institutional money, making it easier to predict market direction and capitalize on high-probability trading opportunities.

Custom Candlestick Pattern IndicatorCustom Candlestick Pattern Indicator - Buy Signal Based on Green Candles Breaking Previous Lows
Overview:
This custom candlestick pattern indicator is designed to highlight potential buy opportunities based on a simple yet powerful candlestick pattern. The indicator identifies green candles that break below the low of the previous candle. This combination may signal a potential market reversal or a bullish continuation after a pullback, depending on the market context. Traders can use this indicator to detect areas where prices may be bouncing from recent lows, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
Pattern Explanation:
The strategy underlying this indicator is a two-part condition that must be met before a buy signal is generated:
Green Candle: A green candle forms when the closing price of the current candle is higher than its opening price. This visually represents bullish momentum as buyers have taken control, closing the price higher than where it opened.
Breaking the Previous Low: The low of the current candle must be lower than the low of the previous candle. This suggests that, despite initial bearish pressure during the candle formation (which drove the price below the previous candle's low), buyers stepped in to push the price higher by the candle’s close. This pattern can signify a potential reversal or bullish continuation, as it demonstrates that buyers are overcoming initial selling pressure.
When the Pattern Occurs:
This pattern is particularly interesting to traders who look for potential reversal signals after a brief decline in price.
It may also work well in markets where pullbacks are common, as this pattern could mark the end of a retracement and the resumption of the bullish trend.
How the Indicator Works:
Green Candle: The indicator first identifies a green candle, where the close of the candle is greater than its open (close > open). This signals that the current period closed higher than it opened, which is generally a bullish sign.
Breaking Previous Low: The indicator checks if the current candle's low is below the low of the previous candle (low < low ). If this condition is met, it means the price dropped below the previous candle's low but was still able to close higher (green candle), signaling a potential reversal or buying opportunity.
Buy Signal: If both conditions are true (green candle + breaking previous low), the indicator plots a buy signal below the candle in the form of an upward-facing triangle labeled "Buy" in green. This serves as a visual cue for traders to consider entering a buy position.
Optional Previous Low Plot: For added reference, the indicator plots the previous candle's low as a red step-line on the chart. This helps traders visualize when the price has dipped below the prior candle's low, making it easier to spot instances where the pattern is forming.
How to Use:
This indicator can be used across multiple timeframes, whether you’re trading short-term intraday patterns or longer-term swing trades.
It works well in markets that experience pullbacks or minor retracements, as the pattern it identifies suggests a rejection of lower prices followed by a push higher.
Traders can combine this indicator with other technical analysis tools (such as moving averages, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators) to strengthen the buy signals and add more context to the trading decision.
Example Scenarios:
Reversal Signal: Suppose a market has been in a minor downtrend, and suddenly a green candle forms after a low that breaks the previous day’s low. This indicator would generate a buy signal, suggesting the downtrend may be losing strength and that buyers are taking control. This could be an early indication of a reversal.
Bullish Continuation After Pullback: Imagine a market in a steady uptrend experiences a temporary pullback. The price breaks the previous candle’s low, but the current candle closes higher (green candle). This buy signal could indicate that the pullback is over, and the uptrend is likely to continue.
Advantages:
Simplicity: This indicator relies on basic price action (green candles and lows) without requiring complicated indicators or oscillators, making it easy to understand and use.
Visual Alerts: The plotted buy signals and previous lows provide a clear, visual representation on the chart, simplifying decision-making for traders.
Versatility: It can be applied across different timeframes and asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.), making it a versatile tool for all kinds of traders.
Limitations:
As with any single indicator or pattern, this should not be used in isolation. It is important to incorporate broader market context, support/resistance levels, and other forms of analysis to avoid false signals.
The pattern tends to be more effective when there’s sufficient market liquidity and may perform better in trending or volatile markets compared to sideways or flat markets.
SMT Divergences [OutOfOptions]Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence is designed to identify discrepancies between correlated assets within the same timeframe. It occurs when two related assets exhibit opposing signals, such as one forming a higher low while the other forms a lower low. This technique is particularly useful for anticipating market shifts or reversals before they become evident through other Premium Discount (PD) Arrays.
This indicator works by identifying the highs and lows that have formed for an asset on the current chart and the correlated symbol defined in the settings. Once a pivot on either asset is formed, it checks if the pivot has taken liquidity as identified by the previous pivot in the same direction (i.e., a new high taking out a previous high). If this is the case and the corresponding asset has not taken a similar pivot, the condition is determined to be a potential valid divergence. The indicator will then filter out SMTs formed by adjacent candles, requiring at least one candle difference between the candles forming the SMT.
If the “Candle Direction Validation” setting is enabled, the indicator will further check both assets to ensure that for bullish SMTs, the last high on both assets was formed by down candle, and for bearish SMTs, the low was formed by an up candle. This check can often eliminate low-probability SMTs that are frequently broken.
The referenced chart shows divergence between Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES) futures, which are normally closely correlated assets that move in the same direction. The lines shown represent bullish and bearish divergences between the two when they are formed. As you can see from the chart, SMT Divergences may not always indicate a reversal, or a reversal might be just a short-term retrace. Therefore, SMT Divergences should not be used independently. However, in conjunction with other PD arrays, they can provide strong confirmation of a change in market direction.
Configurability:
Pivot strength - Indicates how many bars to the left/right of a high for pivot to be considered, recommended to keep at 1 for maximum detection speed
Candle Direction Validation - Additional SMT validation to filter out weak/low-probability SMTs be examining candle direction

Supply and Demand Areas Responsible and Origins [PRO][keypoems]Supply and Demand Areas Responsible and Origins by Keypoems
This indicator highlights supply and demand areas responsible for breaking market structure (SNDR) and tracks how many times these have been "tapped". This is a very advanced and unique capability not present on TradingView at the moment. It also draws and track the "Origins" of breakout moves.
Using this fellow traders can to track with great precision order flow by gauging the reaction of price to these very sensitive areas.
Various powerful trading models can be built around this indicator. Here's an example on how to use it: Price Action will tend to retrace and visit ("tap") critical areas where orders are accumulated (SNDR and Origins) usually twice ("double tap") before continuing a trend. With this knowledge traders can either enter profitably a pro-trend trade after a "double tap" retracement in a responsible area or a origin or if those areas are violated, understand the change in narrative and enter a counter-trend trade.
This indicator is not a mashup of something you have already seen. It is absolutely unique: early testers and fellow traders have been very loud in requesting this to be released to the public (I love you moderators!).
SNDRs (Supply and Demand Responsible)
- Advanced Detection: Looks for the last up-move swing in a bearish zone, or the last down-move in a bullish zone. Adjust the sensitivity choosing a customizable pivot length.
- Mitigation Extension: Option to extend SNDR zones until they are fully mitigated.
- First Tap Indication: Zones change color and text upon the first tap, signaling initial mitigation.
- Second Tap Indication: Zones change color and text upon the first tap, signaling possible trade idea.
- Set pivot length for swing detection.
- Enable bullish and bearish SNDR zones separately.
- Customize texts, colors, and border colors for SNDR zones.
- Adjust line styles, widths, and display of 30%, 50%, and 70% levels within SNDR zones.
Origins
- Definition Flexibility: Mark Origins as the last down-close candle in a bullish zone, last up-close candle in a bearish zone or use the initial swing point with a customizable pivot length.
- Mitigation Extension: Extend origin zones until they are fully mitigated.
- First Tap Indication: Similar to SNDR, origin zones can change appearance upon the first tap.
- Set pivot length for swing detection.
- Enable bullish and bearish origin zones separately.
- Customize texts, colors, borders, and line styles.
- Adjust display of 30%, 50%, and 70% levels within origin zones.
Zones
To be able to draw SNDRs (which are internal counter-trend areas in a zone) the indicator needs to track market structure zones. So the indicator can also draw those zones if needed. The indicator can also extend the current price zones until the 50% of the zone is mitigated.
Info Box
Displays a box with detailed information about the last identified zone, including risk and range size.
- Risk Management: Set the risk amount to calculate contract sizes or position sizing.
- Visibility Options: Adjust the labels' size within the info box for better readability.
- Set the risk amount for calculations.
Financial Crisis Predictor - Doomsday ClockThe **Financial Crisis Predictor - Doomsday Clock** is a composite indicator that evaluates multiple market conditions to determine financial risk levels. It combines four key metrics: market volatility (via VIX), yield curve spread, stock market momentum, and credit risk (via high-yield spread). Each metric contributes to a weighted "risk score," scaled between 0 and 100, which helps gauge the probability of a financial crisis. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
### 1. **Market Volatility (VIX)**
- **How it's measured:**
- Uses the VIX index, which represents expected market volatility.
- Applies two exponential moving averages (EMAs) to smooth out the data—one fast and one slow.
- Triggers a signal if the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and VIX exceeds a defined threshold (default is 30).
- **Weighting:**
- Contributes up to 35% of the total risk score when active.
### 2. **Yield Curve Spread**
- **How it's measured:**
- Takes the difference between the yields of 10-year and 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds (inversion indicates recession risk).
- If the spread drops below a certain threshold (default is 0.2), it signals a potential recession.
- **Weighting:**
- Contributes up to 25% of the risk score.
### 3. **Stock Market Momentum**
- **How it's measured:**
- Analyzes the S&P 500 (SPY) using a 20-day EMA for price momentum.
- Checks for a cross under the 20-day EMA and if the 5-day rate of change (ROC) is less than -2.
- This combination signals bearish market momentum.
- **Weighting:**
- Contributes up to 20% of the risk score.
### 4. **Credit Risk (High Yield Spread)**
- **How it's measured:**
- Assesses high-yield corporate bond spreads using EMAs, similar to the VIX logic.
- A crossover of the fast EMA above the slow EMA combined with spreads exceeding a defined threshold (default is 5.0) indicates increased credit risk.
- **Weighting:**
- Contributes up to 20% of the total risk score.
### 5. **Risk Score Calculation**
- The final **risk score** ranges from 0 to 100 and is calculated using the weighted sum of the four indicators.
- The score is smoothed to minimize false signals and maintain stability.
### 6. **Risk Zones**
- **Extreme Risk:** If the risk score is ≥ 75, indicating a severe crisis warning.
- **High Risk:** If the risk score is between 15 and 75, signaling heightened risk.
- **Moderate Risk:** If the risk score is between 10 and 15, representing potential concerns.
- **Low Risk:** If the risk score is < 10, suggesting stable conditions.
### 7. **Visual & Alerts**
- The indicator plots the risk score on a chart with color-coded backgrounds to indicate risk levels: green (low), yellow (moderate), orange (high), and red (extreme).
- Alert conditions are set for each risk zone, notifying users when the risk level transitions into a higher zone.
This indicator aims to quickly detect potential financial crises by aggregating signals from key market factors, making it a versatile tool for traders, analysts, and risk managers.
