FVG pointsFVGs ( fair value gaps) are imbalances that indicate displacement and are useful for reversal strategies that require displacement after a liquidity sweep
This indicator shows the size of the gap in points/dollars which can help determine momentum and strength in reversals, as does a failure or inversion (iFVG) of these gap if they fail to act as support or resistance to price. As stops are often placed on the other side of a fair value gap from entry, the indicator helps give traders an idea of stop loss size for calculating position size.
Fvg gaps below a certain points size can be considered to be weaker, larger gaps show stronger momentum. The indicator allows a minimum point size to be set so that FVGs below this minimum value will be shown without a points value.
Points value is also shown for inverted FVGs (iFVGs) by a change in colour and length of box.
By default, multiple gaps are combined together and the point value of the gap is shown, this can be toggled off in the settings to show the values of the individual gaps.
Settings:

VolumeTradingView made the default "Volume" script and I found it very bland because it only displayed volume.
This script is more than just about volume. It also includes:
- A comparison between price increase between the last candle of the post-market hours and first candle of the pre-market hours.
- Relative volume label of that sequence.
- Explicit pre-market, RTH, and post-market hours labels.
Swing Elite Valuation ToolSwing Elite Macro Valuation
This indicator provides intermarket valuation analysis by measuring how an asset is priced relative to key macroeconomic instruments. Rather than analyzing price in isolation, it contextualizes current levels against bonds, the dollar, and gold — the three pillars of macro market structure.
The Concept Behind Macro Valuation
Assets don't move in a vacuum. Equities, commodities, and currencies maintain dynamic relationships with macro instruments. When the S&P 500 rises while bonds (ZB1) also rally, that's a different signal than when stocks rise while bonds sell off. Similarly, an asset's relationship to the dollar index (DXY) and gold (GC1) reveals whether price moves reflect genuine strength or simply dollar weakness.
This indicator quantifies these relationships by normalizing relative performance into a 0-100 scale, making it easy to identify when an asset is historically overvalued or undervalued relative to macro conditions.
How Valuation Is Calculated
The indicator computes a ratio between the charted asset and each comparison instrument, then normalizes this ratio as a percentage move from a historical baseline. Two modes are available: Short-term mode captures recent sentiment shifts and is useful for tactical positioning, while Long-term mode evaluates deeper macro positioning for swing trades and portfolio decisions.
The normalized reading places current valuation within historical context. A reading near 88+ suggests the asset is overvalued relative to that macro instrument — price has extended beyond typical ranges. Readings below 10 indicate undervaluation, where the asset may be oversold relative to macro conditions.
Dynamic vs Manual Thresholds
Users can select between manual threshold levels or automatic dynamic bands. Auto-levels calculate overvalued and undervalued zones using standard deviation from the mean, adapting to each asset's historical volatility. Manual mode allows fixed thresholds for traders who prefer consistent reference points across different instruments.
Multi-Instrument Flexibility
While defaults include ZB1 (30-year Treasury futures), DXY (dollar index), and GC1 (gold futures), any symbol can be substituted. This allows analysis against silver, currency futures, sector ETFs, or any instrument relevant to your trading thesis. Each comparison instrument displays independently with color-coded status: readings in overvalued territory appear red, undervalued zones show green, and neutral conditions display blue.
Practical Application
This tool serves traders who incorporate intermarket analysis into their decision-making. When an asset shows overvalued readings against multiple macro instruments simultaneously, it suggests price has extended relative to the broader macro environment — a potential mean reversion setup. Conversely, undervaluation across multiple macro comparisons can highlight value opportunities where price hasn't kept pace with supportive macro conditions.
The dashboard table provides at-a-glance status for each comparison, while alert conditions enable notifications when valuation crosses key thresholds.
3SPC Three Candle Price Action Setup3SPC (Three Candle Price Action Setup) is an open-source indicator designed to detect
a simple and clearly defined three-candle price action pattern.
The logic is based on the following structure:
• The first two candles move in the same direction (bullish or bearish).
• The third candle interacts with the real bodies of both previous candles,
which may indicate a short-term liquidity sweep or price reaction.
• A bullish setup is confirmed when price holds above the open of the first candle.
• A bearish setup is confirmed when price holds below the open of the first candle.
This script does not use oscillators or lagging indicators.
It is intended as a visual aid for discretionary traders and should be used
together with market context, risk management and higher timeframe analysis.
The script is published as open-source for educational and transparency purposes.

Swing Elite Supply & Demand MTFSwing Elite Supply & Demand MTF
This indicator automates Supply & Demand zone detection using the classic base-candle pattern methodology, enhanced with multi-timeframe confluence and zone strength classification.
How Zones Are Detected
The algorithm identifies zones by scanning for the Leg-Base-Leg structure that defines institutional order flow areas. A valid zone requires three components: an initial directional candle (the "leg in"), one or more consolidation candles forming the base, and an explosive breakout candle (the "leg out") that confirms institutional participation.
Base candles are identified using a body-to-range ratio threshold — candles where the body occupies less than 55% of the total range qualify as indecision/accumulation. The explosive candle must have a body ratio exceeding 50% and must close beyond the base boundaries, confirming genuine breakout rather than false signals.
Zone boundaries are drawn from the base candles, with two width options: "Preferred" uses the candle bodies for tighter zones, while "Wider" extends to the full wick range for more conservative entries.
Pattern Classification
Zones are labeled by their formation pattern. RBR (Rally-Base-Rally) and DBR (Drop-Base-Rally) indicate demand zones, while DBD (Drop-Base-Drop) and RBD (Rally-Base-Drop) mark supply zones. This classification helps traders understand the preceding price action context.
Level on Level (LOL) Strength
When a new zone forms that overlaps an existing zone of the same type by a configurable percentage, the zones merge into a "Level on Level" formation. These stacked zones represent areas where institutional orders have accumulated multiple times, suggesting stronger support or resistance. LOL zones use stricter mitigation rules — they're only removed when price closes through them entirely, rather than the standard percentage penetration.
FLIP Level Detection
The indicator tracks swing highs and lows using pivot detection. When price breaks a significant swing level and subsequently forms a zone that encompasses that broken level, it's marked as a "FLIP" zone. These represent potential support-turned-resistance or resistance-turned-support areas — a key concept in price action trading.
Big Brother Multi-Timeframe Confluence
The "Big Brother" feature detects zones on a higher timeframe and checks whether current-timeframe zones fall within them. Zones with higher-timeframe coverage are labeled with "BB" and the confirming timeframe. This helps traders prioritize zones that align with larger structural levels. The higher timeframe auto-selects based on the zone timeframe (e.g., 15m zones check against 4H, daily zones check against weekly).
Zone Management
Zones are automatically removed when mitigated. Standard zones use percentage-based mitigation (default 25% penetration), while LOL zones require a full close beyond the zone. Additionally, zones that have been touched but see price move beyond a configurable R-multiple distance are removed, preventing stale zones from cluttering the chart.
Gap Finder
The indicator also identifies unfilled price gaps — areas where consecutive candles don't overlap. These gaps often act as magnets for price and can provide additional confluence when aligned with supply or demand zones.
Practical Application
This tool is designed for traders who use Supply & Demand methodology but want objective, consistent zone identification. The strength classification (standard, LOL, FLIP, BB confluence) helps prioritize which zones deserve attention. The built-in stop loss calculation provides a starting point for risk management based on zone dimensions.

Sultan Weekly Level Manager XAUUSDThis script is a comprehensive "Level Management Utility" designed to help traders efficiently map, monitor, and react to their weekly Support and Resistance plans.
Instead of manually drawing rectangles and lines every week, this tool allows traders to input their specific price levels (Buy Zones, Sell Zones, and Invalidation Levels) into the settings. The script then automatically renders these zones, sets up alert conditions, and provides essential technical context (Trend and Momentum) in a single workspace.
Why this is a "Manager" (Use Case): Many traders execute "Level-to-Level" plans. This script streamlines that workflow by:
Visual Automation: Instantly drawing standardized zones based on user inputs.
Context Integration: Unlike simple drawing tools, this script integrates EMA Trend Filters (50/200 EMA) and RSI Momentum monitoring directly alongside the manual levels. This allows the trader to see if a price level is being approached with high momentum (RSI Overbought/Oversold) or against the major trend (EMA Cross), reducing the risk of blind limit orders.
Dashboard: A mini-dashboard tracks the current status (e.g., "Inside Buy Zone 1") so traders can assess the state of their plan at a glance.
How to Use:
Step 1: Open the settings and input your weekly Buy/Sell zone coordinates (High and Low prices). Note: The default values are placeholders; you must update them based on your analysis.
Step 2: Use the Trend Context (EMAs) to decide if you are trading with the flow or against it.
Step 3: Use the Momentum Context (RSI) to wait for overbought/oversold conditions before entering a zone.
Features:
Customizable Zones: 2 Buy Zones, 1 Sell Zone, 1 Invalidation Line.
Confluence Tools: Integrated 50/200 EMA and RSI readout.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions trigger when price enters any of your defined zones.
Credits:
EMA and RSI logic are based on standard open-source library calculations.
Zone plotting logic utilizes standard Pine Script drawing functions.
Swing elite Trend DirectionSwing Elite Trend Direction
This indicator provides a structured approach to market analysis by combining swing point detection with trend confirmation logic derived from Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
How It Works
The core algorithm identifies swing highs and lows using a configurable lookback depth, then classifies each pivot based on its relationship to prior swings. A swing high that exceeds the previous swing high is labeled HH (Higher High), while one that fails to do so becomes LH (Lower High). The same logic applies to lows, producing HL (Higher Low) and LL (Lower Low) classifications.
Trend confirmation follows ICT/SMC principles: a bullish trend is confirmed only when a Higher Low is followed by a Higher High, establishing the classic bullish market structure sequence. Conversely, bearish confirmation requires a Lower High followed by a Lower Low. When price creates a counter-structure pivot (such as a Lower High appearing during a bullish sequence), the trend status shifts to "Unconfirmed," alerting traders to potential reversals before they fully develop.
What Makes This Indicator Useful
Rather than displaying isolated swing points, this indicator synthesizes the relationship between consecutive pivots to provide actionable trend status. The multi-timeframe dashboard extends this analysis across three user-defined timeframes, allowing traders to assess trend alignment — a key filter for higher-probability setups.
Structure trendlines automatically connect relevant pivot sequences (HH→LH for resistance, LL→HL for support), visualizing the trajectory of market structure rather than arbitrary price connections. Break levels mark the specific prices where structure would shift, giving clear invalidation points for trade management.
The Fibonacci retracement draws automatically between the two most recent pivots, providing potential entry zones within the established structure context.
Intended Use
This tool is designed for traders who use market structure analysis as their primary framework. It automates the manual process of labeling swing points and tracking structure sequences, reducing subjectivity while maintaining the discretionary trader's analytical approach. Works across all markets and timeframes.

Aamir Sniper Pro Institutional Core MTFConcept & Utility: This script is a comprehensive "Multi-Factor Confluence System" designed to filter out market noise by requiring agreement between Trend, Momentum, Volatility, and Market Structure before generating a signal.
Many traders struggle with false signals generated by single indicators. This script solves that problem by using a Consensus Engine. Instead of relying on just one moving average or oscillator, this script aggregates data from over 20 different technical methods. It then applies strict filters (WAE, ADX, and MTF) to ensure that trades are only suggested during high-probability market conditions.
How the Components Work Together:
1. The Consensus Engine (The Core Logic): At the heart of the script is a voting system. It calculates the slope and direction of:
Fast/Slow EMAs, SMAs, WMAs, and Hull MA.
Ichimoku Cloud (Baseline/Conversion line).
SuperTrend and Parabolic SAR.
Oscillators (RSI, Stochastic, CCI).
Result: It generates a "Consensus Score" (0-100%). A signal is ONLY considered if the Bullish or Bearish score exceeds the user-defined threshold (Default: 70%).
2. The Filtering Layers (Why this is not just a mashup): A high consensus score alone is not enough. The script validates the signal through three mandatory filters:
Volatility Filter (WAE): Uses Waddah Attar Explosion logic to ensure there is enough volume/power to sustain the move.
Regime Filter (ADX): Checks the Average Directional Index. If the market is choppy (ADX < 25), the signal is blocked to prevent whipsaws.
MTF Filter: Checks the trend on a Higher Timeframe (Default: 1 Hour). It forces the user to trade only in the direction of the dominant trend.
3. Structural Context (SR Zones): We have integrated Dynamic Support & Resistance Zones based on Pivot Points.
Purpose: This provides immediate structural context. Even if the Consensus Engine gives a "BUY" signal, the trader can see if price is currently sitting at a "Resistance Box." This visual aid prevents buying into supply or selling into demand.
4. Institutional Volume (PVSRA): Candles are colored based on Volume Spread Analysis (PVSRA) concepts.
Purple/Blue Candles: Indicate "Whale Activity" (Volume > 200% of average). This helps confirm if institutional money is backing the move identified by the Consensus Engine.
5. Momentum Confirmation (QQE): The Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) is displayed on the dashboard to confirm short-term momentum direction, acting as the final trigger.
Features:
Sniper Mode: Option to wait for a candle retest before entry.
Dashboard: Displays the live Consensus Score, Market Regime, and Trend Status.
Risk Management: Auto-calculates SL/TP based on Swing High/Low or ATR.

GARCH Volume Volatility [MarkitTick]Title: GARCH Volume Volatility
Description
Overview
The GARCH Volume Volatility (GV) indicator is a sophisticated quantitative tool designed to analyze the rate of change in market participation. While the vast majority of technical indicators focus on Price Volatility (how much price moves), this script focuses on Volume Volatility (how unstable the participation is).
Market volume is rarely distributed evenly; it tends to cluster. Periods of high activity are often followed by more high activity, and periods of calm tend to persist. This behavior is known as "heteroskedasticity." This script utilizes an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) model—a core component of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) frameworks—to model these changing variance regimes.
By isolating volume volatility from raw volume data, this tool helps traders distinguish between sustainable liquidity flows and erratic, unsustainable volume shocks that often precede market reversals or breakouts.
Methodology and Calculations
1. Logarithmic vs. Percentage Returns
The foundation of this indicator is the calculation of "Volume Returns"—the period-over-period change in volume.
- The script defaults to Logarithmic Returns. In financial statistics, log returns are preferred because they normalize data that can vary wildly in magnitude (such as cryptocurrency volume spikes), providing a more symmetric view of changes.
- Users can opt for standard percentage changes if they prefer a linear approach.
2. Variance Proxy (Squared Returns)
To measure volatility, the direction of the volume change (up or down) matters less than the magnitude. The script squares the returns to create a "Variance Proxy." This ensures that a massive drop in volume is treated with the same statistical weight as a massive spike in volume—both represent a significant change in the volatility of participation.
3. GARCH-Style Smoothing (EWMA)
Standard Moving Averages (SMA) treat all data points in the lookback period equally. However, volatility is dynamic. This script uses an EWMA model with a tunable "Lambda" (Decay Factor).
- The Recursive Formula: The current calculation relies on a weighted average of the current variance and the previous period's smoothed variance.
- Memory Effect: This allows the indicator to "remember" recent volatility shocks while gradually letting their influence fade. This mimics the GARCH process of conditional variance.
4. Dynamic Statistical Thresholds
The final output is the Volatility (square root of variance). To make this data actionable, the script calculates a dynamic upper and lower limit based on the standard deviation (Z-Score) of the volatility itself over a user-defined lookback period.
How to Use
The indicator plots a histogram that categorizes the market into four distinct volatility regimes:
1. High Volatility (Red Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > High Band (Upper Standard Deviation).
Interpretation: This signals an extreme anomaly in volume stability. This is not just "high volume," but "erratic volume behavior." This often occurs at:
- Capitulation bottoms (panic selling).
- Euphoric tops (blow-off tops).
- Major news events or earnings releases.
2. Elevated Volatility (Maroon Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility > Mean Average.
Interpretation: The market is in an active state. Participation is changing rapidly, but within statistically normal bounds. This is common during healthy, trending moves where new participants are entering the market steadily.
3. Normal/Low Volatility (Green Histogram)
Trigger: Volatility is within the lower bands.
Interpretation: The market volume is stable. There are no sudden shocks in participation. This is typical of consolidation phases or "creeping" trends where the price drifts without significant volume conviction.
4. Extremely Low Volatility (Bright Green/Transparent)
Trigger: Volatility < Low Band.
Interpretation: The "calm before the storm." When volume volatility collapses to near-zero, it implies that the market has reached a state of equilibrium or disinterest. Historically, volatility is cyclical; periods of extreme compression often lead to violent expansion.
Settings and Configuration
Core Settings
- Use EWMA: When checked (Default), uses the recursive GARCH-style calculation. If unchecked, it reverts to a simple SMA of variance, which is less sensitive to recent shocks but more stable.
- Log Returns: Uses natural log for calculations. Highly recommended for assets with exponential growth or large volume ranges.
- Length: The baseline period for the calculation.
- Threshold Lookback: The number of bars used to calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation bands.
- EWMA Lambda: The decay factor (0.0 to 1.0). A value of 0.94 is standard for risk metrics.
-- Higher Lambda (e.g., 0.98): The indicator reacts slower and is smoother (long memory).
-- Lower Lambda (e.g., 0.80): The indicator reacts very fast to new data (short memory).
Visuals
- Show Thresholds: Toggles the visibility of the statistical bands on the chart.
- High Band (StdDev): The multiplier for the upper warning zone. Default is 1.5 deviations. Increasing this to 2.0 or 3.0 will filter for only the most extreme events.
Disclaimer This tool is for educational and technical analysis purposes only. Breakouts can fail (fake-outs), and past geometric patterns do not guarantee future price action. Always manage risk and use this tool in conjunction with other forms of analysis.
