ICT First Presented FVG with Volume Imbalance [1st P. FVG + VI]The indicator identifies and highlights the first presented Fair Value Gap (FVG) occurringthe morning (09:30–10:00) and afternoon (13:30–14:00) session's first 30 minutes. It includes an optional feature to extend FVG zones when a volume imbalance (V.I.) is detected, providing additional context for areas of potential price inefficiency. This powerful combination helps traders identify significant market structure gaps that often act as support/resistance zones and potential price targets. What is an FVG? A Fair Value Gap, often abbreviated as FVG, is a price range on a chart where there is an inefficiency or imbalance in trading. This typically happens when price moves rapidly in one direction, leaving a gap between the wicks or bodies of three consecutive candles. For example, in a bullish move, if the low of the third candle is higher than the high of the first candle, the space between them is the FVG. What is a Volume Imbalance? A volume imbalance is a smaller, more precise inefficiency within price action, often visible as a "crack" or thin area in the price delivery. It represents a spot where the volume traded was not balanced between buyers and sellers, often seen as a thin wick or a gap between candle bodies. FVG + Volume Imbalance: When you have a fair value gap that contains a volume imbalance, it becomes a more significant area of interest. ICT teaches that you should not ignore a volume imbalance if it’s part of an FVG. In fact, you should use the volume imbalance in conjunction with the FVG to define your trading range more accurately 📊 Volume Imbalance Integration Toggle Option: Enable/disable volume imbalance detection based on preference Extended Boundaries: When enabled, FVG boundaries expand to include volume imbalance zones Accurate Gap Sizing: Total gap calculation includes volume imbalance extensions Multi-Scenario Support: Handles volume imbalances at start, end, or both sides of FVG formations 📈 Multiple Display Modes Current Day: Shows only today's FVGs for clean chart analysis Current Week: Displays all weekly FVGs for broader context Forward Extension: Extends FVG boxes and CE, Upper/Lower Quadrant lines into the future 📊 Visualization Bullish FVGs appear in semi-transparent blue or purple zones (depending on session). Bearish FVGs appear in red or orange zones. Optional dotted lines mark the CE (midpoint) of each FVG for additional reference. Quadrant Division: Additional 25%/75% lines for large FVGs (configurable minimum gap size) 🎯 Smart Filtering First Presentation Only: Only displays the initial FVG in each session, avoiding clutter Minimum Gap Size: Configurable tick-based thresholds for AM and PM sessions Core FVG Validation: Ensures only valid Fair Value Gaps are displayed ⚙️ Configuration Options Display Settings Show Mode: Current Day or Current Week view Forward Extension: 1-500 bars projection Day Labels: Toggle weekday labels in weekly mode Text Color: Customizable label colors Volume Imbalance Settings Include Volume Imbalance: Master toggle for enhanced boundary calculation Automatic Detection: Identifies imbalance scenarios without additional input Session-Specific Settings AM Session (09:30-10:00): Enable/disable AM FVG detection Customizable bullish/bearish colors CE line visibility and coloring Minimum gap size in ticks PM Session (13:30-14:00): Enable/disable PM FVG detection Customizable bullish/bearish colors CE line visibility and coloring Minimum gap size in ticks Quadrant Settings Enable/Disable: Toggle quadrant line display Minimum Gap: Tick threshold for quadrant activation Line Style: Dotted, dashed, or solid Color: Customizable quadrant line color How It Works FVG Boundary Calculation Traditional FVG: High to Low (bullish) or Low to High (bearish) Enhanced FVG: Extended boundaries to include volume imbalance zones when enabled Total Gap Size: Calculated including any volume imbalance extensions Volume Imbalance Detection The indicator identifies volume imbalances by detecting bars where: Bullish Imbalance: Current bar's body is completely above previous bar's body Bearish Imbalance: Current bar's body is completely below previous bar's body ⚠️ Disclaimer This script is a technical visualization tool only.

Directional Momentum VisualizerDescription This script provides a color-coded column visualization of a classic momentum oscillator that measures relative strength and weakness. Instead of a single line, it uses conditional coloring to make directional changes easier to identify at a glance. The tool is designed for clarity and adaptability, offering both column and line displays, with optional overbought, oversold, and midpoint guides. How It Works The script evaluates the oscillator’s value relative to a midpoint and its previous reading. Depending on whether it’s above or below the midpoint — and whether it’s rising or falling — each column changes color: Strong upward momentum (above midpoint and rising) → bright green Fading upward momentum (above midpoint but falling) → pale green Strong downward momentum (below midpoint and falling) → bright red Fading downward momentum (below midpoint but rising) → pale red Unchanged from the previous value → gray This structure makes momentum shifts instantly visible without relying on line crossings or alerts. Key Features Color-coded momentum columns for instant visual interpretation Adjustable midpoint, overbought, and oversold levels Optional line overlay for smoother reference Dynamic background highlighting in extreme zones Works on any symbol or timeframe Inputs Overview Length: Controls the sensitivity of the oscillator calculation. Source: Selects the price source (Close, HL2, etc.). Midpoint Level: Defines the central reference level separating bullish and bearish momentum. Show Line: Toggles visibility of the traditional line overlay. Overbought / Oversold Levels: Define upper and lower boundaries for potential exhaustion zones. How to Use Add the script to your chart from the Indicators tab. Adjust the midpoint and level settings to fit your preferred configuration. Observe how column colors shift to reflect strength or weakness in momentum. Use these transitions as visual context, not as trade signals. How it Helps This visual approach offers a clearer perspective on momentum dynamics by replacing the traditional single-line display with color-coded columns. The conditional coloring instantly reveals whether momentum is strengthening or weakening around a chosen midpoint, making trend shifts and fading pressure easier to interpret at a glance. It helps reduce visual noise and allows for quicker, more intuitive analysis of market behavior. This tool is intended purely as a visual aid to help identify changing momentum conditions at a glance. It is not a buy or sell signal generator and should be used in combination with other forms of analysis and sound risk management. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This script is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

Tristan's Devil Mark (Short / Long, with W%R)The Devil’s Mark indicator is a visual tool designed to help traders identify potential short and long opportunities based on candle structure and market momentum. It combines price action analysis with the Williams %R (W%R) oscillator to highlight candles with high potential for reversal or continuation. Can be used on any timeline, from scalping day trades to swing trades on daily and higher timelines. Know that the higher the timeline the less likely the indicator will show. (Asia and London sessions tend to show many indicators. I find this more useful for NY session.) How the script works Candle Structure Conditions Short (Sell) Wedge: Plotted above green candles that have no bottom wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong upward momentum without downside hesitation . Long (Buy) Wedge: Plotted below red candles that have no top wick, indicating that inside that candle there was strong downward momentum without upside hesitation . These candles are visually emphasized as wedges to mark potential turning points. Williams %R Filter The indicator uses Williams %R to measure overbought and oversold conditions: Proximity to 0 (nearZeroThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to 0 (overbought) to trigger a Sell Wedge. This acts as a “Sell sensitivity” filter. Proximity to -100 (nearHundredThresh): Determines how close W%R must be to -100 (oversold) to trigger a Buy Wedge. This acts as a “Buy sensitivity” filter. When the candle meets both the candle structure and the W%R condition, the wedge is plotted in purple (“Within W%R Range”). When the "ignore W%R filter" toggle is on, all eligible candles are plotted regardless of W%R. Wedges that normally would not meet W%R criteria are plotted in light purple (“Outside W%R Range”) to distinguish them. #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF) Settings Explained Williams %R Length: The number of bars used to calculate the W%R oscillator. Shorter lengths make it more sensitive; longer lengths smooth the readings. Proximity to 0 / 100: Controls how “strict” the indicator is in requiring overbought or oversold W%R conditions to trigger. Lower values mean closer to extreme zones, higher values are more permissive. Ignore W%R Toggle: Option to show Devil’s Marks on every eligible candle regardless of W%R. Useful for visualizing purely price-action-based signals. What the trader sees Purple wedges: Candles meeting both candle structure and W%R conditions. Light purple wedges: Candles meeting candle structure but ignored W%R (when toggle is on). #YOLO (🚫 I recommend leaving "Ignore W%R Filter" OFF) Short opportunities are wedges above bars (green candles with no bottom wick). Long opportunities are wedges below bars (red candles with no top wick). Trading Insight The Devil’s Mark is a momentum and reversal alert tool: Look for purple downward-pointing wedges when W%R is near overbought. This is a potential shorting opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your short trades. Look for purple upward-pointing wedges when W%R is near oversold. This is a potential long opportunity. Buying at the close of that candle may improve your long trades. Light purple wedges show the same price-action cues without W%R confirmation—useful for aggressive traders who want every potential setup. #YOLO #YMMV #noFullPort Settings / Security The “Output values” checkbox appears for each plotted series (like a plot or plotshape) and controls whether the series will also be exposed numerically in the Data Window or used by other indicators/scripts. Here’s what it means in practice: 1. Checked (true) The series values (like candle high, low, or any computed value) are exported to the Data Window and can be read by other scripts using request.security() or ta functions. Example: You can see the exact numerical value of each plotted point in the Data Window when you hover over the chart. Useful if you want to backtest or reference these plotted values programmatically. 2. Unchecked (false) The series is plotted visually only. The numeric values are hidden from the Data Window and cannot be accessed by other scripts. Makes the chart cleaner if you don’t need the numeric outputs.
