Market Structure Trailing Stop [BigBeluga]The Market Structure Trailing Stop indicator is an advanced tool for identifying market structure shifts, liquidity sweeps, and potential trend reversals using comprehensive volume analysis. This indicator combines the analysis of market structure pivots (CHoCH - Change of Character) with a sophisticated volume-based trailing stop logic. By evaluating delta volume at key structural points, it allows traders to identify high-probability trend continuations or reversals and manage their trades more effectively.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
● Market Structure Analysis
Pivot-Based Market Structure : The indicator identifies high and lows using user-defined periods, allowing traders to spot key market structure shifts.
Change of Character (CHoCH) : The first significant break of a market structure is marked as a CHoCH, indicating a potential trend reversal.
Break of Structure (BoS) : The indicator highlights subsequent breaks of structure after CHoCH, providing traders with crucial insights into trend strength.
● Advanced Volume Analysis
Delta Volume Evaluation : The indicator calculates delta volume (difference between up and down volume) at each ChoCh or BoS market structure point to assess the strength of the move. Identify Delta Volume from break point back to Pivot
● Trailing Stop Logic
Volume-Validated Trailing Stop : The indicator automatically plots a trailing stop if the delta volume at the UP CHoCH is positive and above the defined threshold and vice versa for Down CHoCH , allowing traders to protect their profits while riding the trend.
Trend Weakness Detection : If a subsequent BoS occurs with negative delta volume or lower volume than the input threshold, the trailing stop disappears, indicating potential trend exhaustion or reversal.
Dynamic Stop Placement : The trailing stop is dynamically adjusted based on market structure and volume, providing traders with a more adaptive stop-loss strategy.
Up Trend Trailing Stop:
Down Trend Trailing Stop:
● Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity Sweep (X) Labels : The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps—points where the price temporarily reverses to sweep liquidity above or below a key level—marked with an “X” label.
Potential Reversal Zones : These liquidity sweeps are potential reversal zones, especially when accompanied by significant delta volume changes, providing traders with early warnings of potential trend reversals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
● Identifying Market Structure Shifts
Change of Character (CHoCH) : When a CHoCH occurs, the indicator calculates the total volume from the high point to the break point. If the delta volume is positive and exceeds the input threshold, a trailing stop is plotted, signaling potential trend continuation.
Break of Structure (BoS) : If BoS is enabled, subsequent breaks of structure are highlighted. If these BoS points show weaker volume or negative delta volume, the trailing stop will disappear, indicating that the trend may be losing strength.
● Using the Trailing Stop Feature
Protecting Profits : Once a CHoCH occurs and the delta volume validates the trend, the trailing stop will be plotted below (or above) the price to protect profits while allowing the trend to run.
Trend Reversal Signals : If the trailing stop disappears due to weak volume at subsequent BoS points, it may signal that the trend is losing momentum, and traders may consider closing their positions or tightening their stops manually.
● Liquidity Sweep Interpretation
Spotting Reversal Zones : Liquidity sweeps, marked with an “X” label, indicate zones where the price has swept liquidity. These areas can serve as potential reversal zones, especially when significant delta volume is observed at these points.
Early Reversal Warnings : Traders can use these liquidity sweep labels as early warnings for potential trend reversals, particularly in conjunction with other technical analysis methods.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Highs and Lows Calculation : Customize the number of bars to the left and right for identifying pivots and market structure shifts.
Volume Threshold : Define the volume threshold to filter out weaker moves and focus on significant market structure shifts.
BoS and Liquidity Sweep Labels : Toggle on or off the BoS and Liquidity Sweep labels to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
Trend Color : Enable or disable trend coloring for candles to visually highlight uptrends and downtrends on the chart.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trailing Stop indicator combines advanced volume analysis with market structure detection to provide traders with a powerful tool for identifying and managing trends. By leveraging delta volume at key structure points, it helps traders validate trend strength and manage their positions with a dynamic trailing stop strategy. The addition of liquidity sweep detection further enhances its utility, offering early warnings of potential trend reversals. This indicator is ideal for traders who want to gain a deeper understanding of market structure while incorporating volume-based insights into their trading strategies.
Search in scripts for "BOS"
BIASBias — MTF Market Structure
What it does
Bias determines bullish/bearish bias from a higher timeframe (HTF) market structure and shows BOS/CHOCH events in a minimal, uncluttered way. When a BOS/CHOCH is confirmed, the script draws a single horizontal line at the broken swing that extends to the right and stops automatically once price invalidates it. Background shading reflects the current bias.
Why it’s different (Minimal Clean)
No boxes or noisy fills — just clean horizontal continuation lines and small optional labels.
Pivot-based structure on your chosen HTF; lines update only when swings are confirmed.
Built-in anti-clutter controls (limit number of active lines).
Optional conservative confirmation (wait for HTF close).
How Bias is determined (BOS/CHOCH logic)
On the selected HTF, the script detects swing highs/lows using Pivot Left / Right.
New swings are filtered by Min Swing Distance (%) so tiny wiggles are ignored.
A breakUp occurs when price crosses the latest HTF swing high; a breakDown when it crosses the latest swing low (by Close or Wick, per your setting).
Event classification:
BOS (Break of Structure): break in the same direction as the current bias (trend continuation).
CHOCH (Change of Character): break in the opposite direction (trend change).
After a break, bias flips/updates (Bullish after breakUp, Bearish after breakDown). A thin horizontal line is drawn from that level, extending until price invalidates it in the opposite direction.
Inputs & Settings (what to tweak)
Basis Timeframe (HTF) – the timeframe used to build structure (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D).
Pivot Left / Right – swing sensitivity (higher = cleaner, slower).
Confirm Break by Close – if ON, require close beyond the level; if OFF, wick is enough.
Wait for HTF Close – confirms only after the HTF candle closes (safer, later).
Min Swing Distance (%) – minimum percent distance vs. previous swing to accept a new swing.
Show Bias Background – soft background shading of current bias.
Show BOS/CHOCH Labels – small tags on the break candle (optional).
Max Active Level Lines – caps how many horizontal lines are kept on the chart (default 8).
Line Width – thickness of the horizontal lines.
Colors
Bull continuation lines/labels use a teal theme; Bear uses orange. You can adjust in code if desired.
How to use (quick start)
Add to any chart and keep your trading timeframe as you like (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H).
Set HTF to the structure frame you trust (e.g., 1H for intraday, 4H/D for swing).
For a cleaner map, raise Pivot Left/Right (e.g., 4–6) and Min Swing Distance (e.g., 0.5–1%).
Choose break confirmation:
Want early signals? leave Confirm by Close ON and Wait for HTF Close OFF.
Want stronger signals? turn Wait for HTF Close ON.
Read the chart:
Background = current Bias (Bullish or Bearish).
Each BOS/CHOCH prints a short label and a horizontal line that extends to the right until price invalidates it.
Use the lines as clean reference for structure and for where bias last changed/continued.
Reduce clutter by lowering Max Active Level Lines (e.g., 5–8) or turning labels off.
Multi-HTF tip: Add two instances — e.g., HTF=4H for strategic bias and HTF=1H for tactical entries. Keep labels ON only on the tactical one for simplicity.
Alerts
The script provides ready-made alert conditions (constant strings per Pine v6 rules):
BOS Bullish
BOS Bearish
CHOCH Bullish
CHOCH Bearish
Bias Flip → Bullish
Bias Flip → Bearish
Create an alert on the indicator and choose the condition you want.
Notes & Limitations
Swings use pivots; a pivot only finalizes after pR bars, so signals don’t repaint forward once the HTF pivot is confirmed.
If Wait for HTF Close is OFF, intrabar spikes can trigger earlier (faster but less strict).
As with any tool, this is not financial advice and should be combined with your own risk management.
Recommended presets
Intraday: HTF = 1H, pL/pR = 4/4, Min Swing % = 0.6–1.0, Confirm by Close = ON, Wait HTF Close = OFF, Max Lines = 6–8.
Swing: HTF = 4H or 1D, pL/pR = 5–6, Min Swing % = 1.0–2.0, Confirm by Close = ON, Wait HTF Close = ON, Max Lines = 5.
Fair Value Gap Suite Adrian V1.0.0Brief description
The “FVG Suite” identifies fair value gaps across multiple time units, evaluates them with a displacement score, optionally filters them according to market structure events (BOS/CHOCH), and provides context-based alerts for first touch, partial and full fills, and invalidation. The aim is to show only high-quality imbalances and trade them based on rules.
What makes the script unique (originality/added value)
Displacement score: Strength of the impulse movement as a combination of (body/ATR, range/ATR, volume Z-score).
MTF aggregator: FVGs from higher timeframes are collected, ranked, and displayed as zones on the active chart (including overlap clustering).
Structure context: Optionally, only FVGs after confirmed BOS/CHOCH in the trend direction, including premium/discount evaluation relative to the HTF range.
Adaptive invalidation: FVG expires after candles, opposing BOS or defined time (e.g., end of session).
Session/instrument filter: Time window (e.g., NY/LDN), minimum tick size, ATR-based minimum gap.
Smart fill logic: Distinguishes between first touch, partial fill (≥ %), full fill (100%); alarms per event.
Statistics overlay (optional): Hit rate/expectancy per TF & session for fine-tuning the filters.
How it works (conceptually)
FVG definition (3-candle pattern): Bullish if High < Low (bearish analog). Size = gap span in points.
Quality score:Score = w1*(|Body|/ATR) + w2*(Range/ATR) + w3*(Volume-Z), normalized to 0–100.
MTF scan: List of higher TFs: (customizable). Findings are merged, ranked, and displayed as zones with priority (color/opacity).
Context filter: Only FVGs that emerge after BOS/CHOCH in the direction of the current trend; optional exclusion in premium/discount areas.
Invalidation & alerts: A zone is considered active until the invalidation rule takes effect. Alerts are triggered upon: initial contact, partial/full filling, invalidation.

Demand and Supply MTF with SMC By StockFusion - 3.0Demand and Supply MTF with SMC By StockFusion - 3.0 - Indicator Description
Concepts
What is Supply & Demand?
Supply and Demand are foundational forces driving market dynamics. Demand reflects the presence of buyers willing to purchase a security, while Supply indicates sellers offering it for sale. These forces create zones on the chart where price tends to react—either reversing or continuing—based on the balance between buying and selling pressure. This indicator identifies these zones using price action patterns, focusing on impulsive moves (strong directional momentum) and retracement phases (consolidation or pullbacks).
What is SMC (Smart Money Concepts)?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) revolve around tracking the behavior of institutional traders, often called "smart money." By analyzing price action, market structure shifts, and liquidity, SMC helps retail traders align with the moves of larger players. Key SMC signals like Change of Character (CHoCH), Break of Structure (BOS), liquidity sweeps, and swing points provide insights into potential trend changes or continuations.
Overview
Demand and Supply MTF with SMC By StockFusion - 3.0 is a sophisticated, price action-based indicator designed to plot real-time Supply and Demand zones across multiple timeframes (MTF) directly on your chart. It goes beyond simple zone plotting by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inside Candle detection, offering traders a powerful tool for spotting high-probability reversal or continuation areas. The indicator highlights zones with customizable boxes, labels them for clarity, and provides additional SMC-driven insights such as CHoCH, BOS, liquidity sweeps, and swing high/low levels. This combination of multi-timeframe analysis, SMC, and consolidation detection creates a unique and highly practical tool for traders seeking an edge in the markets.
How It Works
The indicator operates by analyzing price action across two user-defined timeframes (Higher TF and Lower TF) to detect Supply and Demand zones. It identifies these zones based on specific price patterns:
Rally Base Rally (RBR): A bullish impulsive move, followed by consolidation, then another bullish move—indicating a Demand zone.
Drop Base Drop (DBD): A bearish impulsive move, consolidation, then another bearish move—indicating a Supply zone.
Drop Base Rally (DBR): A bearish move, consolidation, then a bullish reversal—indicating a Demand zone.
Rally Base Drop (RBD): A bullish move, consolidation, then a bearish reversal—indicating a Supply zone.
These patterns are detected using criteria like explosive candle movements (based on range-to-body ratios and ATR multipliers), volume thresholds, and base candle counts (configurable from 1 to 5 candles). Zones are plotted as horizontal bands, with Higher TF zones taking precedence to avoid overlap with Lower TF zones, ensuring clarity on the chart.
Smart Money Integration:
The indicator enhances zone analysis with SMC features:
CHoCH (Change of Character): Detects shifts in market sentiment by comparing price action against recent swing highs/lows over a customizable period.
BOS (Break of Structure): Identifies when price breaks key structural levels, signaling a potential trend shift.
Liquidity Sweeps: Marks areas where price briefly exceeds swing points before reversing, often targeting stop-loss orders.
Swings: Highlights significant swing highs and lows to track momentum and structure.
Inside Candle Detection:
Inside Candles—smaller candles contained within the range of a prior candle—are plotted to indicate consolidation or indecision, often preceding breakouts. Optional lines can be drawn around these candles for better visibility.
Key Features & How to Use
Real-Time Zone Plotting:
Automatically identifies and marks Supply and Demand zones as they form, using the RBR, RBD, DBR, and DBD patterns. Zones are color-coded (e.g., green for Demand, red for Supply) and can extend rightward for visibility.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Operates on all timeframes, with separate settings for Higher TF (e.g., weekly) and Lower TF (e.g., daily) zones. This allows traders to see both macro and micro levels of market structure.
Automatic Detection:
No manual input is required—zones are plotted based on price action, volume, and SMA trends. Live candle volume is displayed for context.
Tested Zone Management:
Optionally removes zones after they’re tested (price revisits and reverses) or after a second leg-out move, keeping the chart uncluttered.
Customizable Display:
Choose which patterns to detect (RBR, RBD, etc.).
Adjust base candle counts (1-5), explosive candle parameters (Range-Body Ratio, Multiplier), and quality filters (SMA length, Volume Multiplier).
Customize colors for zones, borders, labels, and candles (boring, bullish explosive, bearish explosive).
Enable/disable labels and pattern names on boxes.
Alerts:
Set notifications for zone formation, CHoCH, BOS, and liquidity sweeps on your chosen timeframe.
Inside Candle Visualization:
Highlights consolidation phases with color-coded candles and optional lines, aiding breakout anticipation.
SMC Insights:
Visualizes CHoCH, BOS, liquidity sweeps, and swings with distinct lines and labels, helping traders follow institutional moves.
How to Use It:
Approaching Zones: When price nears a Supply or Demand zone, watch for reversal patterns (e.g., pin bars, engulfing candles) or SMC signals (e.g., BOS, liquidity sweeps) to confirm entries. Combine with your tested strategy—don’t trade zones blindly.
SMC Signals: Use CHoCH for early trend reversal clues, BOS for trend continuation, and liquidity sweeps to gauge manipulation.
Inside Candles: Monitor for breakouts after consolidation periods marked by Inside Candles.
Why It’s Unique & Valuable
This indicator stands out by blending multi-timeframe Supply and Demand analysis with Smart Money Concepts and Inside Candle detection into a single, cohesive tool. While it uses classic elements like price action and volume, its proprietary logic—combining specific pattern detection (RBR, RBD, DBR, DBD), SMC signals (CHoCH, BOS, etc.), and consolidation tracking—offers a fresh approach. Unlike generic trend-following or scalping tools, it provides actionable insights into market structure and institutional behavior, making it worth considering for traders willing to invest in a premium tool. The flexibility of customization and MTF functionality further enhances its utility across trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
Market Structure Break Targets [UAlgo]The "Market Structure Break Targets " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key market structure points such as Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structures (BoS). These points are crucial for understanding market trends and potential reversal zones. By plotting these structures on the chart, traders can easily spot significant support and resistance levels, as well as potential entry and exit points.
This indicator uses a combination of swing highs and lows to determine market structures and calculates targets based on user-defined percentages or Average True Range (ATR) multipliers. It provides visual cues in the form of lines, labels, and boxes to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Swing Length: Users can set the swing length to identify the pivot highs and lows, which are crucial for determining market structure.
Target Duration Bars: Defines the maximum duration (in bars) for which the targets will be considered valid.
Target Calculation Methods: The target levels are crucial for setting potential price objectives. The calculation can be based on a percentage move from the identified pivot or using the ATR to factor in market volatility. These targets help in setting realistic profit-taking levels or identifying stop-loss placements.
Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Break (MSB): Detects and highlights bullish and bearish market structure breaks with customizable colors and target percentages.
Bullish MSB
When the price closes above a significant pivot high, a bullish MSB is identified. The indicator will draw a line at this level and calculate a target based on the chosen method (percentage or ATR). The target is visualized with a dotted line, and a label "MSB" is displayed. Additionally, an order block is created at the level of the bullish MSB. This order block is highlighted with a semi-transparent box, representing a potential area where price might find support in the future.
Bearish MSB
Conversely, when the price closes below a significant pivot low, a bearish MSB is marked. Similar to bullish MSBs, targets are calculated and displayed on the chart. An order block is also generated at the level of the bearish MSB, visualized with a semi-transparent box. This box highlights a potential resistance area where price might face selling pressure.
Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure (BoS): Identifies break of structures for both bullish and bearish scenarios, providing additional target levels.
Bullish BoS
If the price continues to rise and breaks another significant level, a bullish BoS is detected. This break is also marked with lines and labels, providing additional target levels for traders. An order block is created at the BoS level, serving as a potential support zone.
Bearish BoS
If the price falls further after a bearish MSB, a bearish BoS is identified and visualized similarly. The indicator creates an order block at the BoS level, which acts as a potential resistance zone.

Smart Money Trades Pro [BOSWaves]Smart Money Trades Pro – Advanced Market Structure & Liquidity Visualizer
Overview
Smart Money Trades Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed for traders seeking an in-depth understanding of market structure, liquidity dynamics, and institutional flow. The indicator systematically identifies key market turning points, including break of structure (BOS) and change of character (CHoCH) events, and overlays these with adaptive visualizations to highlight high-probability trade setups. By integrating ATR-based risk zones, progressive take-profit levels, and real-time trade analytics, Smart Money Trades Pro transforms complex price action into an interpretable framework suitable for multiple trading styles, including scalping, intraday, and swing trading.
Unlike traditional static indicators, Smart Money Trades Pro adapts continuously to market conditions. It evaluates swing highs and lows over a configurable lookback period, then determines structural breaks using customizable confirmation methods (candle body or wick). The resulting signals are augmented with dynamic entry, stop-loss, and target levels, allowing traders to analyze potential trade opportunities with both precision and context. The indicator’s design ensures that each visual element—trend-colored candles, signal markers, and risk/reward boxes—reflects real-time market conditions, offering an actionable interpretation of institutional activity.
How It Works
The indicator’s foundation is built upon market structure analysis. By calculating pivot highs and lows over a specified period, Smart Money Trades Pro identifies potential points of liquidity accumulation and exhaustion. When price breaks a pivot high or low, the indicator evaluates whether this constitutes a BOS or a CHoCH, signaling trend continuation or reversal. These events are marked on the chart with distinct visual cues, allowing traders to quickly discern shifts in market sentiment without manually analyzing historical price action.
Once a structural break is confirmed, the indicator automatically determines entry levels, stop-loss placements, and progressive take-profit zones (TP1, TP2, TP3). These calculations are based on ATR-derived volatility, ensuring that targets scale with current market conditions. Risk and reward zones are plotted as shaded boxes, providing a clear visual representation of potential profit relative to risk for each trade setup. This system allows traders to maintain discipline and consistency, with dynamic trade management baked directly into the visualization.
Trend direction is further reinforced by color-coded candles, which reflect the prevailing market bias. Bullish trends are represented by one color, bearish trends by another, and neutral conditions are displayed in muted tones. This continuous visual feedback simplifies the process of trend assessment and helps confirm the validity of trade setups alongside BOS and CHoCH markers.
Signals and Breakouts
Smart Money Trades Pro includes structured visual signals to indicate actionable price movements:
Bullish Break Signals – Triangular markers below the candle appear when a swing high is broken, suggesting potential long opportunities.
Bearish Break Signals – Triangular markers above the candle appear when a swing low is broken, indicating potential short setups.
Change of Character (CHoCH) – Special markers highlight trend reversals, showing where momentum shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
These markers are strategically spaced to prevent overlap and remain clear during high-volatility periods. Traders can use them in combination with trend-colored candles, risk/reward zones, and ATR-based targets to assess the strength and reliability of each setup. The integrated table provides live trade information, including entry price, stop-loss level, take-profit levels, risk/reward ratio, and trade direction, ensuring that trade decisions are informed and data-driven.
Interpretation
Trend Analysis : The indicator’s trend coloring, combined with BOS and CHoCH detection, provides an immediate view of market direction. Rising structures indicate bullish momentum, while falling structures signal bearish momentum. CHoCH markers highlight potential trend reversals or significant liquidity sweeps.
Volatility and Risk Assessment : ATR-based calculations determine stop-loss distances and target levels, giving a quantitative measure of risk relative to market volatility. Wide ATR readings indicate periods of high price fluctuation, whereas narrow readings suggest consolidation and reduced risk exposure.
Market Structure Insights : By monitoring swing highs and lows alongside break confirmations, traders can identify where institutional players are likely active. Areas with multiple structural breaks or overlapping targets can indicate liquidity hotspots, potential reversal zones, or areas of market congestion.
Trade Management : The built-in trade zones allow traders to visualize entry, risk, and reward simultaneously. Progressive targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) reflect incremental profit-taking strategies, while dynamic stop-loss levels help preserve capital during adverse moves.
Strategy Integration
Smart Money Trades Pro supports a range of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Enter trades in the direction of confirmed BOS while using CHoCH markers and trend-colored candles to validate momentum.
Pullback Entries : Use failed breakout retests or minor reversals toward broken structure levels for lower-risk entries.
Mean Reversion : In consolidated zones with narrow ATR and repeated BOS/CHoCH activity, anticipate reversals or short-term corrective moves.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation : Overlay signals on higher or lower timeframes to filter noise and improve trade accuracy.
Stop-loss levels should be placed just beyond the opposing structural point, while take-profit targets can be scaled using the ATR-based zones. Progressive targets allow for partial exits or scaling out of trades while maintaining exposure to larger moves.
Advanced Techniques
Traders seeking greater precision can combine Smart Money Trades Pro with volume, momentum, or volatility indicators to validate signals. Observing sequences of BOS and CHoCH markers across multiple timeframes provides insight into liquidity accumulation and depletion trends. Tracking the expansion or contraction of ATR-based zones helps anticipate shifts in volatility, enabling better timing for entries and exits.
Customizing the structure period and confirmation type allows the indicator to adapt to different asset classes and timeframes. Shorter periods increase sensitivity to smaller swings, while longer periods filter noise and emphasize higher-probability structural breaks. By integrating these features, the indicator offers a robust statistical framework for disciplined, data-driven trading decisions.

Market Structure [PRO][keypoems] - 100% rewritten engineMarket Structure — 100% rewritten engine
Successor to my earlier script Supply and Demand Areas Responsible and Origins . This version rebuilds the engine from scratch and adds HTF support, tap tracking, dealing ranges (“expansion legs”), and DB/DT pattern logic.
What it draws
Market‑structure zones built from protected high/low and confirmed BOS/MSS. Zones extend forward and remain on chart until 50% mitigation is wicked. Optional 30/50/70 levels.
Protected High/Low lines and Continuation High/Low levels; BOS and MSS lines are plotted at confirmation.
SNDR (Supply & Demand Responsible) areas for the counter‑trend swing that caused the BOS. The engine auto‑pivots (tries 3‑pivot then 1‑pivot) and extends each SNDR until 100% mitigation. First‑tap and second‑tap states are tracked and visually marked.
Zone Tap detection : when price first enters an unmitigated zone, leaves it, and then violates a continuation level, the script confirms the tap and draws a horizontal TAP line from the tap swing for future retests.
Dealing Ranges (Expansion legs) : created on BOS→MSS flips or opposite‑direction MSS. Each range is anchored at the protected level, tracks the current extreme, and marks 50% mitigation. A diagonal arrow plus a 50% line show live progress. An optional right‑hand visual stacks all unmitigated ranges as compact boxes with their 50% line.
Double Bottom / Double Top patterns : search starts at BOS/MSS events, confirms on neckline break, and draws an ATR‑buffered box and an extending neckline.
Valid pullback labels and candidate confirmation lines help verify swing sequence formation.
HTF support
Choose a higher timeframe in the Timeframe input to compute market structure on HTF while viewing a lower‑timeframe chart. The script uses request.security and only confirms using closed HTF candles, so zones, BOS/MSS, mitigations and taps match the native HTF chart.
How it works (brief)
Builds an alternating sequence of valid swings, tracks protected levels, and creates a zone on BOS; zones close or roll when MSS occurs.
Zone mitigation = wick through the zone’s 50%. SNDR mitigation = full breach (100%).
Tap logic requires: entry into the zone → exit → violation of a relevant continuation level; only then the TAP line is drawn.
Dealing ranges start from the protected level at BOS→MSS (or opposite MSS), track the current extreme, and flag mitigation at 50%.
DB/DT confirms only after a close through the neckline.
Notes
Origins from the prior script have not been ported to this engine yet.
Includes a performance switch (scan all zones vs. a recent subset) and an optional on‑chart debug table.

TradeX Labs PriceActionTradeX Labs Price Action — Multi-Layered Market Structure & Liquidity Visualizer
This invite-only script is a unified price-action framework for traders who want a clear, multi-timeframe visual map of structure, liquidity events, and execution zones. It is not a simple combination of existing tools — all modules are custom-built in-house and designed to work from a shared data model, ensuring every feature interacts seamlessly with the others.
Purpose & Core Design
The script’s foundation is a fractal-based swing engine that detects high-quality structural pivots. These pivots form the anchor points for:
BOS (Break of Structure) and structural shift detection
Liquidity sweep identification for stop hunts and inducements
Session range mapping (e.g., Asian high/low)
Rule-based zone projection using displacement and retracement logic
Rather than plotting isolated indicators, every detection method feeds into a single structure model so that BOS, liquidity events, and zones are all derived from the same underlying market map.
Zone Generation & Entry Mapping
Zones are calculated from swing-to-swing displacement legs and projected using Fibonacci presets (50 %, 61.8 %, 78.6 %). Users can select:
Calculation method: Fibonacci, Point of Interest (POI), or both
Zone frequency: High (wider), Medium (balanced), or Low (deeper) retracement levels
Extension length: Forward projection in bars to match chart timeframe
This ensures zones are consistent, structurally relevant, and adaptable to different styles.
Inducement & Liquidity Filters
For refined context, setups can be filtered by inducement type:
Minor: Sweeps of current day/session highs or lows
Medium: Sweeps of previous day’s highs/lows
Major: Sweeps of weekly highs/lows
Filters may run independently or in combination, hiding zones that lack interaction with key liquidity levels.
QuickStrikes Session Filter
QuickStrikes is an optional filter that checks BOS and/or entry levels against the Asian session high/low:
V1 (BOS validation): BOS position relative to session range
V2 (Entry validation): Entry zone position relative to session range
V3 (Combined): Both BOS and entry must meet positional criteria
Multiple modes can be active simultaneously, and all selected conditions must pass for a setup to display.
Custom Visuals & Usability
Every plotted element — zones, BOS labels, inducement levels, arrows, risk/reward boxes — can be styled to match any chart theme. The optional visual panel provides an at-a-glance risk-to-reward display.
Disclaimer
This is an original, closed-source TradeX Labs tool built entirely from proprietary logic referencing known concepts (e.g., Fibonacci ratios, session ranges, swing detection) within a rule-based framework. It produces visual analysis only and does not predict price or guarantee results. Default settings are for illustration; traders should adjust to their instrument and timeframe.

Supply/Demand Market Structure (SMA Multi-Timeframe)Supply/Demand Based Market Structure
Structure + Order Blocks from Synthetic SMA Candles
Overview:
The SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure indicator combines market structure analysis with supply/demand logic, powered by SMA-based synthetic candles . Instead of relying on raw candle data, this tool generates smoothed higher-timeframe candles using simple moving averages to identify more stable zones and cleaner structure shifts.
It detects bullish and bearish breaks of structure (BoS) , highlights swing points like HH, HL, LH, LL , and plots institutional-style supply and demand zones formed from aggressive rallies or drops. The result is a precise and noise-filtered view of market intent, perfect for trend-following or smart money strategies.
How It Works:
- Synthetic candles are created using SMA of OHLC values on your selected timeframe (HTF).
- A bullish break occurs when price closes above the high of the last bearish synthetic candle.
- A bearish break occurs when price closes below the low of the last bullish synthetic candle.
- Upon break confirmation:
- A demand zone is drawn using the last bearish candle.
- A supply zone is drawn using the last bullish candle.
- Each zone is extended forward for a user-defined number of bars and optionally deleted upon mitigation.
- Zigzag-based internal structure connects valid swing points and classifies them as HH, HL, LH, LL , including Liquidity Sweeps (LS) .
- BoS levels are highlighted with lines that automatically reset when new structure forms.
Key Features:
- Synthetic SMA Candles : Smooth and reliable structure from average-based HTF candles
- Break Modes : Choose between raw HTF closes or SMA closes for break logic
- Custom Timeframe Selection : Analyze structure across any HTF you choose
- Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones : Auto-plot boxes from valid rallies/drops
- Mitigation Detection : Optionally fade or delete zones when price trades through
- Zigzag Structure Mapping : Automatically connect structural highs/lows
- BoS Detection : Real-time breakout of swing points with visual confirmation
- Smart Labels : Marks HH, HL, LH, LL, and LS directly on the chart
- Multi-timeframe Alert System : Notify for all structural changes, BoS, and new zones
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF and SMA Length for synthetic candle smoothing.
- Use SMA=1 for raw candles
- Select a Break Mode :
- Raw Close : Uses standard HTF close values
- SMA Close : Uses smoothed closes from SMA
- Watch for bullish or bearish breaks — zones are plotted when price confirms breakout structure.
- Use demand zones as long entry areas and supply zones as short setups on retests.
- Rely on internal shifts and zigzag swings to monitor structure continuity.
- Enable alerts for swing formations, BoS, and liquidity sweeps to trade hands-free.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart Money & ICT Models : Use synthetic demand/supply + BoS for mitigation or continuation plays
- Swing Trading : Align with higher timeframe structure and use zones for entry triggers
- Trend Trading : Confirm structure alignment and wait for pullbacks into zones
- Reversal Entries : Trade structure breaks when zones fail and a BoS confirms the shift
Customization Options:
- Timeframe input for custom HTF control
- SMA Length to adjust candle smoothing
- Zone Style : Control zone color, transparency, and duration
- Structure Display : Toggle swing labels and zigzag visuals
- Alert Mode : Choose between LTF, MTF, or HTF alerts

Trend_Prime_MasterTrend_Prime_Master is a trend-following indicator designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals with enhanced clarity and reliability. This indicator integrates multiple technical analysis tools into a cohesive system, maximizing their individual strengths to offer traders a comprehensive view of market trends. With its advanced blend of market structure analysis, multiple EMAs, custom volume and momentum indicators, and multi-timeframe trend confirmation, Trend_Prime_Master is tailored to navigate the complexities of financial markets.
Core Features
Trend_Prime_Master offers a suite of features that provide in-depth analysis and actionable insights into market trends:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis: This feature ensures that the signals you act on are aligned with broader market trends by filtering and confirming them across various timeframes. By aligning your trades with the larger market direction, you improve the overall consistency of your trading decisions.
Sophisticated Signal Generation: Signals are generated based on a confluence of technical conditions, including Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossovers and custom momentum indicators. This multi-layered approach helps focus on signals that have strong backing from market conditions, thereby increasing the reliability of trading decisions.
Color-Changing Trend Line: The trend line changes color based on the market's current direction, providing a quick visual cue for traders. Green indicates a bullish trend, while red signals a bearish trend. This feature simplifies the process of identifying trends, allowing traders to make informed decisions at a glance.
Adaptive Lines: The adaptive lines in Trend_Prime_Master adjust dynamically based on market conditions. These lines provide a more responsive view of the trend compared to static moving averages, particularly useful in volatile markets.
Short Trend Lines: In addition to the main trend line, Trend_Prime_Master includes short trend lines that focus on immediate market movements. These lines are based on shorter EMAs and offer additional layers of trend confirmation, particularly in fast-moving markets.
Custom Volume and Momentum Indicators: These advanced tools validate the strength of trends by assessing the underlying market pressure and the speed of price movements, ensuring that signals are supported by substantial market activity.
Heikin Ashi Integration: Heikin Ashi candles are used to smooth out price data, reducing noise and providing a clearer view of the underlying trend. This integration enhances the clarity and reliability of the signals, making it easier to follow the trend and make informed decisions.
CHoCH (Change of Character): CHoCH is a critical component in understanding market structure changes. It occurs when the market shows a significant shift in behavior, such as moving from a trending phase to a consolidation phase, or vice versa. Trend_Prime_Master automatically detects and labels CHoCH on the chart, helping traders anticipate potential reversals or shifts in market momentum.
Detailed Component Explanations
Every component in Trend_Prime_Master has been carefully selected and integrated to enhance the overall performance of the indicator. Here’s a detailed explanation of how these components work together:
EMA Combinations for Trend Identification: Trend_Prime_Master utilizes multiple EMAs with different periods to capture both short-term and long-term trends. By analyzing the relationship between faster and slower EMAs, the indicator identifies potential trend reversals and continuations. The combination of multiple EMAs helps in smoothing out price data, reducing noise, and providing a more accurate depiction of the trend.
Adaptive Lines: The adaptive lines in Trend_Prime_Master adjust dynamically based on changing market conditions. Unlike static moving averages, which use a fixed calculation period, adaptive lines recalibrate themselves to respond more effectively to shifts in market momentum. This allows traders to capture emerging trends more quickly and avoid the lag associated with traditional moving averages.
Short Trend Lines: Short trend lines are calculated using faster EMAs and are designed to highlight immediate market trends. These lines are particularly useful for traders who focus on short-term market movements, providing early indications of potential trend reversals or continuations. By combining short trend lines with longer EMAs, Trend_Prime_Master offers a multi-layered approach to trend analysis, ensuring that both short-term and long-term perspectives are considered.
Point of Control (POC):
The Point of Control (POC) is a key concept in volume profile analysis that represents the price level with the highest traded volume over a specific period. In Trend_Prime_Master, the POC line is automatically calculated and plotted on the chart. This level is crucial because it often acts as a significant support or resistance level, where price tends to gravitate towards or bounce off. By incorporating the POC, Trend_Prime_Master enhances your ability to identify critical price levels that are likely to influence future price movements.
The POC works synergistically with other components like EMAs and custom momentum indicators by confirming whether these technical signals align with high-volume price levels. For instance, a buy signal near the POC might suggest a strong support level, making the trade more likely to succeed, while a sell signal below the POC could indicate a potential breakout or continuation of a downtrend.
Break of Structure (BOS): BOS is a crucial concept in market structure analysis that indicates a significant change in market behavior. It occurs when the market breaks a previous high or low, suggesting a potential reversal or continuation of the trend. In Trend_Prime_Master, BOS is used to identify these critical moments, helping traders anticipate major market moves. BOS works in conjunction with other signals, such as EMA crossovers and trend line changes, to provide a comprehensive picture of the market's direction.
CHoCH (Change of Character): CHoCH refers to a sudden and significant shift in market behavior, often signaling a change from a trending market to a ranging one, or vice versa. This concept is crucial for traders who need to adjust their strategies based on the market’s current phase. Trend_Prime_Master automatically detects CHoCH moments and marks them on the chart, allowing traders to adapt their strategies promptly and effectively.
Custom Volume and Momentum Indicators: These custom indicators in Trend_Prime_Master go beyond standard tools by incorporating advanced calculations that consider both the direction and intensity of market moves. These indicators help validate the strength of a trend, ensuring that traders act on signals backed by strong market activity. This allows for a more nuanced view of trend strength, supporting better trading decisions.
Color-Changing Trend Line: This visual tool is not just a simple trend line; it dynamically adjusts its color based on the current trend direction, providing an immediate visual representation of the market’s state. When combined with other components like BOS and custom volume indicators, the color-changing trend line helps traders quickly assess whether the current market conditions favor a particular trade, reducing the cognitive load on traders and enabling faster decision-making.
Multi-Timeframe Filters: These filters ensure that the signals generated on a lower timeframe are consistent with the trends observed on higher timeframes. A signal is only considered valid if it aligns across these multiple timeframes, ensuring that your trades are supported by the broader market context.
Heikin Ashi Smoothing: Heikin Ashi candles are incorporated into Trend_Prime_Master to smooth out noise in price data. These candles average out price movements, making it easier to identify the underlying trend without being distracted by minor fluctuations. This smoothing effect is particularly useful in volatile markets, where traditional candlesticks might present a confusing picture of market behavior.
How It Works
Trend_Prime_Master integrates these tools into a cohesive system designed to provide clear and actionable insights into market trends:
EMA-Based Trend Identification: By analyzing multiple EMAs, Trend_Prime_Master identifies the prevailing market trend and potential reversals. This process involves comparing the positions of faster and slower EMAs to detect crossovers, which are key signals for trend changes.
Adaptive Lines: These lines adjust in real-time to reflect the current market conditions. They offer a more responsive trend-following approach compared to traditional moving averages, making them particularly useful in volatile or rapidly changing markets.
Short Trend Lines: These lines focus on short-term market trends, providing early signals of potential reversals or continuations. By tracking immediate price movements, short trend lines help traders respond quickly to market changes, offering a valuable perspective in fast-moving markets.
Point of Control (POC):The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume over a specific period. In Trend_Prime_Master, the POC is plotted to help traders identify key levels where the market has shown significant interest. These levels often act as strong support or resistance and can be crucial in determining the validity of a trend. For instance, a signal near the POC might indicate a more reliable setup, as it shows that the price is aligning with a major volume level.
Break of Structure (BOS): BOS plays a pivotal role in confirming trend reversals. When the price breaks a significant structure, such as a previous high or low, it suggests that the market may be shifting direction. This is particularly important for traders looking to enter the market at the beginning of a new trend.
CHoCH (Change of Character): CHoCH is critical for recognizing shifts in market phases. For example, a CHoCH might indicate that a market is moving from a trend into a consolidation phase, or vice versa. By identifying these changes early, Trend_Prime_Master allows traders to adjust their strategies accordingly, whether that means tightening stop-losses in a trending market or preparing for breakout trades in a consolidating one.
Custom Volume and Momentum Confirmation: These custom indicators add an extra layer of validation to the signals generated by Trend_Prime_Master. By confirming that there is strong market participation and momentum behind a move, these indicators help ensure that traders are acting on signals supported by robust market activity.
Color-Changing Trend Line: This feature provides an easy-to-understand visual representation of the market's direction, changing color based on whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase. It works in tandem with other components like EMAs and custom volume indicators to give traders a quick, comprehensive view of market conditions.
Settings
• Trading Style: Select the trading style that best suits your strategy (Short, Medium, Long, HTSpecial, Standard). This setting adjusts the parameters of the EMAs and other components to align with different timeframes, ensuring that the indicator is tuned to the specific market conditions you're trading in.
• Show Possible Signals: Toggle this setting to enable or disable the display of possible buy and sell signals. This allows traders to focus on confirmed signals or to see potential opportunities as they develop.
• Possible Signals Filter: If you wish to filter possible signals based on a higher timeframe trend, enable this option and select the appropriate higher timeframe. This helps ensure that the signals you act upon are in sync with broader market trends, reducing the risk of counter-trend trades.
Colors for Signals and Moving Averages:
• Customize the colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral signals, as well as for the various moving averages. This allows traders to personalize the visual aspects of the indicator, making it easier to interpret signals at a glance.
Trend Line Settings:
• Adaptive Line: Toggle to enable or disable the adaptive trend line, which adjusts dynamically based on market conditions. The line changes color to reflect the current trend direction, providing a quick visual cue.
• Short Trend Lines: Enable this option to display shorter-term trend lines. These lines help in identifying immediate market movements and can be particularly useful for short-term traders.
• Length and Smoothing: Adjust the length and smoothing parameters for the trend lines to fine-tune how responsive they are to price changes.
Point of Control (POC) Settings:
• Show POC Line: Toggle this setting to display the POC on your chart. The POC is a critical level where the most volume has been traded, and it often acts as a significant support or resistance level.
• POC Color and Width: Customize the color and width of the POC line to make it stand out or blend in with your other chart elements, depending on your preference.

Fair Value Gaps Setup 01 [TradingFinder] FVG Absorption + CHoCH🔵 Introduction
🟣 Market Structures
Market structures exhibit a fractal and nested nature, which leads us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) categories. Definitions of market structure vary, with different methodologies such as Smart Money and ICT offering distinct interpretations.
To identify market structure, the initial step involves examining key highs and lows. An uptrend is characterized by successive highs and lows that are higher than their predecessors. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by successive lows and highs that are lower than their previous counterparts.
🟣 Market Trends and Movements
Market trends consist of two primary types of movements :
Impulsive Movements : These movements align with the main trend and are characterized by high strength and momentum.
Corrective Movements : These movements counter the main trend and are marked by lower strength and momentum.
🟣 Break of Structure (BOS)
In a downtrend, a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when the price falls below the previous low and establishes a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS, also known as a Market Structure Break (MSB), happens when the price rises above the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is necessary, which requires the price to close at least one candle beyond the previous high or low.
🟣 Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a crucial concept in market structure analysis, indicating a shift in trend. A trend concludes with a CHOCH, also referred to as a Market Structure Shift (MSS).
For example, in a downtrend, the price continues to drop with BOS, showcasing the trend's strength. However, when the price rises and exceeds the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a potential transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
It is essential to note that a CHOCH does not immediately indicate a buy trade. Instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, a CHOCH confirmation does not require a candle to close; merely breaking the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient.
🟣 Spike | Inefficiency | Imbalance
All these terms mean fast price movement in the shortest possible time.
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" (FVG) on a chart, a detailed candle-by-candle analysis is necessary. This process involves focusing on candles with substantial bodies and evaluating them in relation to the candles immediately before and after them.
Here are the steps :
Identify the Central Candle : Look for a candle with a large body.
Examine Adjacent Candles : The candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows, and their bodies must not overlap with the body of the central candle.
Determine the FVG Range : The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles defines the FVG range.
This method helps in accurately identifying the Fair Value Gap, which is crucial for understanding market inefficiencies and potential price movements.
🟣 Setup
This setup is based on Market Structure and FVG. After a change of character and the formation of FVG in the last lag of the price movement, we are looking for trading positions in the price pullback.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
After forming the setup, you can enter the trade using a pending order or after receiving confirmation. To increase the probability of success, you can adjust the pivot period market structure settings or modify the market movement coefficient in the formation leg of the FVG.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period of Market Structure Detector :
This parameter allows you to configure the zigzag period based on pivots. Adjusting this helps in accurately detecting order blocks.
Show major Bullish ChoCh Lines :
You can toggle the visibility of the Demand Main Zone and "ChoCh" Origin, and customize their color as needed.
Show major Bearish ChoCh Lines :
Similar to the Demand Main Zone, you can control the visibility and color of the Supply Main Zone and "ChoCh" Origin.
FVG Detector Multiplier Factor :
This feature lets you adjust the size of the moves forming the Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the Average True Range (ATR). The default value is 1, suitable for identifying most setups. Adjust this value based on the specific symbol and market for optimal results.
FVG Validity Period :
This parameter defines the validity period of an FVG in terms of the number of candles. By default, an FVG remains valid for up to 15 candles, but you can adjust this period as needed.
Mitigation Level FVG :
This setting establishes the basic level of an FVG. When the price reaches this level, the FVG is considered mitigated.
Level in Low-Risk Zone :
This feature aims to reduce risk by dividing the FVG into two equal areas: "Premium" (upper area) and "Discount" (lower area). For lower risk, ensure that "Demand FVG" is in the "Discount" area and "Supply FVG" in the "Premium" area. This feature is off by default.
Show or Hide :
Given the potential abundance of setups, displaying all on the chart can be overwhelming. By default, only the last setup is shown, but you can enable the option to view all setups.
Alert Settings :
On / Off : Toggle alerts on or off.
Message Frequency : Determine how often alerts are triggered.
Options include :
"All" (alerts every time the function is called)
"Once Per Bar" (alerts only on the first call within the bar)
"Once Per Bar Close" (alerts only at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing)
The default setting is "Once Per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Set the alert time based on your preferred time zone, such as "UTC-4" for New York time. The default is "UTC".
Display More Info : Optionally show additional details like the price range of the order blocks and the date, hour, and minute in the alert message. Set this to "Off" if you prefer not to receive this information.
True Market Structure {DCAquant}
True Market Structure
Overview
The True Market Structure is a technical analysis tool designed for use across all timeframes. It identifies and visualizes market structure breaks (MSBs) and break of structure (BOS) events, emphasizing interim highs and lows using the "Deroz Wick" system. Unlike many other indicators, this tool does not rely on traditional pivot points, making it a unique addition to any trader's toolkit.
How It Works
The True Market Structure indicator uses a combination of algorithms to detect and highlight significant market structure events. By analyzing price action and identifying key levels, the indicator aids in understanding potential reversal points and trend continuations.
Bull and Bear Market Structures: Differentiates between bullish and bearish market structures, applying distinct color settings for easy visualization.
Customizable Settings: Users can tailor the indicator’s appearance and functionality to their preferences, including toggling lines, labels, and selecting between SWING and INTERIM MS settings.
How our market structure indicator is different
All known market structure indicators work with pivot points. This is a lookback function to find highs and lows within a certain period and then producing market structure.
Our indicator doesn't work like this as the DCAquant True Market Structure finds swing and interim lows and saves it into memory thus giving us the ability to create real market structure breaks and BOS’s.
This is achieved when an MSB or BOS is triggered the script will perform a check through its memory to find previous Interim or swing which ever setting the user has selected.
A saved interim or swing will never change unless it is broken giving you true market structure, this Indicator cannot repaint because it only produces breaks whenever candle is closed.
The next MSB or BOS you see on the chart are the direct function of saved memory points which gives clear indication of true market structure.
Almost 500 lines of code to give you True Market Structure usable on any timeframe.
Key Features
1. Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structure (BOS)
Market Structure Breaks (MSBs): Occur when the price breaks through a previous significant high or low, indicating a potential reversal or continuation of the current trend.
Break of Structure (BOS): Highlights significant breaks in market structure, providing insights into potential trend changes.
2. Visualization Options
Customizable colour settings for both bull and bear market structures, ensuring it integrates with any chart setup.
Options to enable or disable lines and labels for flexible information display.
3. The WICK System
Standard WICK System: Identifies wicks based on standard high/low calculations.
Deroz WICK System: Enhances the standard WICK system by looking back at price history and replacing the standard wick if an even lower or higher wick is found in the subsequent bar.
4. MS Settings
SWING Setting: Sets future MSB events at swing highs/lows, offering a broader market perspective.
INTERIM Setting: Sets future MSB events at interim highs/lows, providing more immediate and frequent market structure updates.
Understanding Market Structure
Market structure is defined by a series of price actions that form recognizable patterns indicating the current trend. Key elements include:
Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL): Indicate an uptrend, where each successive high and low is higher than the previous one.
Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL): Indicate a downtrend, where each successive high and low is lower than the previous one.
These patterns help traders identify trend direction and potential reversal points. In an uptrend, traders look for higher highs and higher lows to continue, whereas in a downtrend, they look for lower highs and lower lows.
Application in Breakout Trading
Market structure analysis is crucial for breakout trading, where traders seek to capitalize on significant price movements following a break of established price levels.
Uptrend Breakouts: Traders watch for breaks above higher highs as potential entry points for long positions.
Downtrend Breakouts: Traders watch for breaks below lower lows as potential entry points for short positions.
The True Market Structure indicator assists by visually marking these critical levels, simplifying the process of identifying and acting on breakout opportunities.

The True Market Structure indicator provides a clear and detailed view of market structure changes. By highlighting key MSB and BOS events and incorporating advanced wick detection through the Deroz WICK system, this tool can aid in making informed decisions based on a thorough understanding of market dynamics. However DCAquant recommends using this indicator as part of a system.
SMC OB+HOBSmart Money OB/HOB Indicator — Quick Guide
Use this as a field manual: what you’re seeing, how it’s decided, and which settings to use for different timeframes and trade styles.
What the tool plots
Bullish Order Block (OB) — teal box
The last small down candle before a bullish displacement/BOS. Height = candle body (default) or wick range (if you choose “Wick”).
Pin (small white dot) at the origin candle’s time to make anchoring obvious.
Bearish Order Block (OB) — red box
The last small up candle before a bearish displacement/BOS.
Hidden Order Block (HOB) — same box but yellow-tinted fill
A valid OB with one or more same-bias FVGs “ahead” (i.e., OB sits “behind” inefficiency). These tend to be stronger.
Mitigation state (fill transparency)
Unmitigated (least transparent): price hasn’t meaningfully traded back into the box. Highest priority.
Partial (more transparent): some penetration; still valid.
Full (most transparent): fully consumed; lower priority (optional to hide).
Top-K border — thin white outline
Only the best-scoring OBs/HOBs per direction are drawn to reduce clutter.
Auto-Fibs (optional)
OTE zone (0.62–0.79) — subtle purple band across the current swing leg.
0.618 / 0.705 / 0.786 — thin white horizontal lines. Confluence here adds score.
Trade idea lines (per Top-K block)
Entry — white line (mid/edge per your setting).
Stop — red line (box edge ± your pad).
TP1/TP2 — lime lines, R-based from entry→stop distance.
Label shows LONG/SHORT, entry, SL, TP1, TP2, time-stop (bars).
Note: Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are tracked internally to classify HOBs and for pruning, not drawn to avoid noise.
How a block is qualified (in plain English)
BOS + Displacement:
Close breaks the recent swing high/low by at least N ticks and the bar shows impulse (body ≥ X·ATR and ≥ Y% of its total range).
(Settings: “Close beyond ≥ ticks”, “Min impulse body (x ATR)”, “Body/TR min %”)
Seed candle:
Look back ≤ N bars for the last opposite small-body candle (body ≤ Z% of its range). That candle’s body/wick becomes the OB height.
(Settings: “Last opposite candle within N bars”, “OB body ≤ % of TR”, “OB height model”)
Hidden OB:
Count same-bias FVGs “ahead”. If ≥ your threshold → tag the OB as HOB.
(Setting: “Require ≥ N same-bias FVGs ahead”)
Mitigation tracking:
As price trades into the box, we compute penetration %, updating unmitigated / partial / full state each bar.
Ranking (Top-K):
Every OB/HOB gets a score: near price, newer, hidden, near fib, and unmitigated boost. We draw only the Top-K per direction.
Inputs you’ll actually tweak
Timeframe
Compute on: Current (uses your chart TF) or Specific (MTF scan).
Process last N bars: reduce for speed, increase to see more history.
Anchoring
Extend: Right, Limited, or Origin only.
Limited draws boxes to a fixed number of bars so charts stay clean.
Show origin pins: Keep on so you always know the source candle.
Structure / BOS (signal frequency vs. quality)
Require FVG on break bar: ON = stricter, OFF = more signals.
Min impulse body (x ATR): higher = stricter.
Body/TR min %: higher = stricter.
Close beyond ≥ ticks: 0–1 for LTF; 1–3 for HTF.
Order Blocks
OB height model: Body (cleaner) or Wick (wider protection).
Last opposite candle within N bars: 3–8 (higher finds more).
OB body ≤ % of TR: 0.35–0.70 (lower = stricter).
Min OB height (ticks): 1–2 (avoid micro slivers).
Expire on first touch: If ON, removes boxes after first reaction.
Hidden OB
Require ≥ N FVGs ahead: 0–1 for LTF (more HOBs), 1–2 for HTF.
Mitigation Filter (what you show)
Toggle Unmitigated / Partial / Full visibility.
For precision trading, keep Unmitigated on; show others while scanning.
Auto-Fibs
Enable fib confluence: On adds score near 0.618/0.705/0.786.
Draw lines / OTE: Visual only; confluence also boosts ranking.
Tolerance (x ATR): how close price must be to count as “near fib”.
Ranking & Draw
Top-K per direction: how many OBs/HOBs you’ll see each side.
Prefer near / newer / hidden / unmitigated: scoring toggles.
Fib boost: how much fib confluence bumps a level.
Trade Ideas
Entry style: 50% of OB (balanced) or OB edge (faster fills).
Stop pad (ticks/ATR): give a little room beyond the box edge.
TP1/TP2 (R): risk-multiple targets (e.g., 1R, 2R).
Time stop (minutes): exit if it doesn’t go in time.
Execution / Alerts (recommended)
Keep on-close workflow: do not enable calc_on_every_tick.
When creating alerts, choose Once per bar close.
How to use it (mechanical checklist)
Scan: Focus on Top-K boxes. HOBs (yellow-tinted) and unmitigated get first look.
Context (optional): If you like, also check HTF structure or obvious liquidity pools (equal highs/lows).
Confluence: Prefer boxes near 0.618/0.705/0.786 or inside the OTE band.
Trigger: Let the bar close. If entry line is touched next, you have a go-signal with a placed stop and R-targets.
Manage: If TP1 hits, move SL to BE. For HOBs, consider a runner (trail under minor swing/FVG) — they often travel further.
Time stop: If it hasn’t moved within N minutes/bars, cut it; don’t babysit.
Preset recipes (copy these settings)
1) Hyper-Scalp (1–3m) — frequent, fast
Structure / BOS:
FVG on break = OFF | Min impulse = 0.6–0.8 | Body/TR = 0.45–0.55 | Close beyond = 0–1
Order Blocks:
Opposite lookback = 5–6 | OB body ≤ 0.55–0.60 | Min height = 1
HOB: Need FVGs = 0–1
Mitigation view: Show Unmit/Partial, optionally Full while scanning
Ranking: Top-K = 4–6, prefer near/new/hidden/unmit = ON, Fib boost = 0.6–1.0
Trade Ideas: Entry = OB edge, Stop pad = 1–2 ticks, Time stop = 5–8 min
Execution: On bar close alerts
2) Intraday (5–15m) — balanced
Structure / BOS:
FVG on break = OFF | Min impulse = 0.8–1.0 | Body/TR = 0.55–0.60 | Close beyond = 1
Order Blocks:
Opposite lookback = 4–5 | OB body ≤ 0.50–0.55 | Min height = 1–2
HOB: Need FVGs = 1
Ranking: Top-K = 3–4, Fib boost = 1.0–1.5
Trade Ideas: Entry = 50%, Stop pad = 2–3 ticks, Time stop = 10–20 min
3) Swing (1H–4H) — selective, higher quality
Structure / BOS:
FVG on break = ON | Min impulse = ≥1.0 | Body/TR = ≥0.65 | Close beyond = 1–3
Order Blocks:
Opposite lookback = 3–4 | OB body ≤ 0.45–0.50 | Min height = 2–4
HOB: Need FVGs = 1–2
Ranking: Top-K = 2–3, Fib boost = 1.5–2.0
Trade Ideas: Entry = 50%, Stop pad = a few ticks + ATR pad, Time stop = few bars
4) HTF (Daily+) — very selective
Keep swing settings, increase Min impulse and Close beyond a bit, reduce Top-K to 1–2.
Priority rules (what to trade first)
HOB over OB
Unmitigated over partial/full
With fib confluence over without
Near price and recent over far/old
Favor levels that follow a sweep (equal highs/lows taken, then return to your box)
If two boxes tie, take the one with the cleaner origin candle and simpler path to TP (fewer nearby obstacles).
Troubleshooting & tips
“I’m not seeing many signals.”
Loosen Structure/BOS (lower ATR and Body/TR), increase Opposite lookback, allow Partial/Full in view, raise Top-K.
“Too many lines/boxes.”
Lower Top-K, use Limited extension (Anchoring), hide Partial/Full, and keep fib lines if you rely on confluence.
“Stuff looks offset.”
Keep origin pins on. Use xloc.bar_time (already in code) and avoid custom time compressions that desync objects.
Execution discipline:
Use on-close alerts. Respect time stops. Size by fixed risk per trade, not fixed leverage.
