LuxAlgo® - Price Action Concepts™Price Action Concepts™ is a first of it's kind all-in-one indicator toolkit which includes various features specifically based on pure price action.
Order Blocks w/ volume data, real-time market structure (BOS, CHoCH, EQH/L) w/ 'CHoCH+' being a more confirmed reversal signal, a MTF dashboard, Trend Line Liquidity Zones (real-time), Chart Pattern Liquidity Zones, Liquidity Grabs, and much more detailed customization to get an edge trading price action automatically.
Many traders argue that trading price action is better than using technical indicators due to lag, complexity, and noisy charts. Popular ideas within the trading space that cater towards price action trading include "trading like the banks" or "Smart Money Concepts trading" (SMC), most prominently known within the forex community.
What differentiates price action trading from others forms of technical analysis is that it's main focus is on raw price data opposed to creating values or plots derived from price history.
Mostly all of the features within this script are generated purely from price action, more specifically; swing highs, swing lows, and market structure... which allows users to automate their analysis of price action for any market / timeframe.
🔶 FEATURES
This script includes many features based on Price Action; these are highlighted below:
Market structure (BOS, CHoCH, CHoCH+, EQH/L) (Internal & Swing) multi-timeframe
Volumetric Order Blocks & mitigation methods (bullish & bearish)
Liquidity Concepts
Trend Line Liquidity Zones
Chart Pattern Liquidity
Liquidity Grabs Feature

Advanced Alerts Creator to create step-by-step alerts with various conditions
+ more (see changelog below for current features)
🔶 BASIC DEMONSTRATION
In the image above we can see a demonstration of the market structure labeling within this indicator. The automatic BOS & CHoCH labels on top of dashed lines give clear indications of breakouts & reversals within the internal market structure (short term price action). The "CHoCH+" label is also demonstrated as it triggers only if price has already made a new higher low, or lower high.
We can also see a solid line with a larger BOS label in the middle of the chart. This label demonstrates a break of structure taking into account the swing market structure (longer term price action). All of these labels are generated in real-time.
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
In the image below we can see how a trade setup could be created using Order Blocks w/ volume metrics to find points of interest in the market, swing / internal market structure to get indications of longer & shorter term reversals, and trend line liquidity zones to find more likely impulses & breakouts within trends.
We can see in the next image below that price came down to the highest volume order block marked out previously as our point of interest for an entry used in confluence with the overall market structure being bullish (swing CHoCH). Due to price closing below the middle Order Block at (24.77%), we saw it was mitigated, and then price revisited liquidity above the Trend Line zone above, leading us to the first Order Block as a target.
You will notice the % values adjust as Order Blocks are touched & mitigated, aligning with the correct volume detected when the Order Block was established.
In the image below we can see more features from within Price Action Concepts™ indicator, including Chart Pattern Liquidity, Fair Value Gaps (one of many Imbalance Concepts), Liquidity Grabs, as well as the primary market structures & OBs.
By using multiple features as such, users can develop a greater interpretation of where liquidity rests in the market, which allows them to develop trading plans a lot easier. Liquidity Grabs are highlighted as blue/red boxes on the wicks during specific price action that indicates the market has made an impulse specifically to take out resting buy or sell side orders.
We can notice in the trade demonstrated below (hindsight example) how price often moves to the areas of the most liquidity, even if unexpected according to classical technical analysis performed by retail traders such as chart patterns. Wicks to take out orders above & potentially trap traders are much more noticeable with features such as these.
The Chart Patterns which can be detected include:
Ascending/Descending Wedges (Asc/Desc Wedge)
Ascending/Descending Broadening Wedges (Asc/Desc BW)
Ascending/Descending/Symmetrical Triangles (Asc/Desc/Sym Triangle)
Double Tops/Bottoms (Double Top/Double BTM)
Head & Shoulders (H&S)
Inverted Head & Shoulders (IH&S)
General support & resistance during undetected patterns
In the image below we can see more features from within the indicator, including Balanced Price Range (another imbalance method similar to FVG), Market Structure Candle Coloring, Accumulation & Distribution zones, Premium & Discount zones w/ a percentage on each zone, the MTF dashboard, as well as the Previous Daily Highs & Lows (one of many highs/lows) displayed on the chart automatically.
The colored candles use more specific market structure analysis, specifically allowing users to visualize when trends are considered "normal" or "strong". By utilizing other features alongside this market structure analysis, such as noticing price retesting the PDL level + the Equilibrium as resistance, a Balanced Price Range below price, the discount with a high 72% metric, and the MTF dashboard displaying an overall bearish structure...
...users can instantly gain a deeper interpretation of price action, make highly confluent trading plans while avoiding classical technical indicators, and use traditional retail trading concepts such as chart patterns / trend lines to their advantage in finding logical areas of liquidity & points of interest in the market.
The image below shows the previous chart zoomed in with 2 liquidity concepts re-enabled & used alongside a new range targeting the same Discount zone.

Worstfx Fractal Sessions 🧩 Worstfx Fractal Sessions Public — Features & Purpose
✔️ Includes clean session structure • Simple confluence • Built-in guardrails for your psychology
Worstfx Fractal Sessions Public is a stripped-back, clean version of the full Worstfx framework.
It’s designed to give every trader the core advantages of the fractal system:
• clear session structure
• simple trend/confluence read
• context from Daily ATR
• basic order-flow sentiment
• an on-chart help panel so nobody gets lost
All without overwhelming settings or “indicator soup.”
Use it to see the day as a story: Asia range → London expansion → Pre-NY setup → NY confirmation or reversal.
⸻
⚙️ Main Features
1️⃣ Session Shading (Asia / London / Pre NY / NY)
What it does
• Colors each session with soft, transparent shading:
• Asia – yellow tone
• London – purple tone
• Pre NY – light blue
• NY – light blue (separate time block)
• You can customize the session times and colors.
• Includes a 6:00 pm ET divider line to mark the start of a new “trading day” in your framework.
Why it matters (psychology)
• Your brain stops seeing random candles and starts seeing chapters:
• Asia = range / setup
• London = expansion / fakeouts
• NY = continuation / reversal
• This reduces FOMO and impulsive entries because you naturally ask:
“Which session am I in?”
“What is this session supposed to be doing?”
• The 6pm divider helps you mentally reset each day instead of carrying emotional baggage from yesterday into today.
⸻
2️⃣ Time-Frame Confluence Panel (Weekly → 15m)
What it does
• Checks a simple model on multiple timeframes (W, D, 4H, 1H, 15m):
• Above or below the 50 EMA
• RSI above or below 50
• Converts that into a 0–100% confluence score per TF.
• Gives a %TOTAL score that blends all TFs into a single number.
• Two display modes:
• Strip — horizontal bar with W/D/4H/1H/15m + %TOTAL
• Table — vertical list showing bull% / bear% per TF
• Mobile mode shrinks everything for smaller screens.
Why it matters (psychology)
• Instead of arguing with yourself about “trend,” you get a simple question:
“Are the higher timeframes mostly aligned or mixed?”
• Green/high %TOTAL = “permission” to press your bias, not to over-trade.
• Red/low %TOTAL = natural brake: “This is not the clean trend day. Size down or stay out.”
• It pulls you away from 1-minute tunnel vision and forces you to respect bigger structure.
⸻
3️⃣ Daily ATR Panel (Last 4–12 days + Forecast)
What it does
• Tracks true daily range (High–Low) over recent days.
• Shows:
• Last few days’ range in ticks and $
• Optional 4-day average forecast (projected typical daily move)
• Option to show just last 4 days, or full 12-day history.
• Two modes:
• Table – labeled rows with “ticks / $” columns
• Macro – compact text summary like “FC: 2000t | $20.00”
Why it matters (psychology)
• You stop expecting 5000-tick moves on a 600-tick average day.
• When the forecast is small, you naturally:
• avoid chasing huge targets
• respect partials
• recognize “maybe today just isn’t the big runner”
• On big ATR days, you recognize that volatility is here, so:
• you give your targets breathing room
• you’re less likely to panic when price swings
• This keeps your expectations in line with reality, which reduces tilt, frustration, and revenge trades.
⸻
4️⃣ Order-Flow Sentiment Panel (Compact OF Read)
What it does
• Estimates buy vs sell volume on the current and previous candles.
• Shows:
• Sentiment row with Buy% / Sell%
• Buy/Sell volumes (with “k/m” formatting if enabled)
• Optional extra rows for prior candles.
• Highlights imbalances when one side hits your imbalance threshold (e.g., 70%).
Why it matters (psychology)
• Gives you a quick “who’s in control right now” view without staring at raw volume.
• Imbalance flashes create micro-alerts:
• “This might be a stop run or strong continuation, pay attention.”
• Prevents you from blindly shorting into heavy buy pressure or buying into stacked sell pressure just because of greed or fear.
• Makes your entries feel more validated, which calms you during the trade.
⸻
🧠 Overall Psychological Goal
Worstfx Fractal Sessions Public is not just a visual skin for your charts.
It’s a behavior framework.
It tries to quietly enforce:
• Patience → by tying you to sessions and key time behavior.
• Selectivity → by checking multi-TF trend alignment.
• Realistic expectations → via ATR context.
• Non-impulsive entries → via order-flow imbalance checks.
• Accountability → via clear explanations and structure, not vibes.
Instead of chasing every move, you’re guided into a loop:
“What session am I in? What is ATR saying? Are TFs aligned? Is order-flow confirming? If not, I wait.”
🔋 The risk is minimized by structure & The reward is maximized by timing🔋
SIFVG [ULTRA+]Introduction
Sweep Inverse Fair Value Gap° is a fully customizable charting tool built to track inversion fair value gap logic that occur after displacement events—specifically when Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are closed through, and effectively flipping their original state. The tool is inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, offering a clean visual interface to support traders studying price behaviour after liquidity sweeps, FVG closures, and highlighting mechanical swings targets.
This indicator does not draw zones or suggest direction. It operates entirely on confirmed price events and produces logic-bound visuals designed for traders who already understand IFVG-based reasoning and seek visual consistency across sessions, Timeframe on any instrument.
Key Terms and Definitions
• Swing High / Swing Low: A swing high is a local price peak with lower highs on either side. A swing low is a local trough with higher lows on either side. These are used to detect where liquidity may rest and are required for confirming the initial raid condition in the IFVG model.
• Liquidity Raid: This occurs when price trades through a prior swing high or low, effectively “sweeping” a level where orders may be clustered around. The raid is a required precursor to inversion logic in this model. The tool will not evaluate a potential Fair Value Gap or Inversion Fair Value Gap unless a swing high or low has been taken first.
• Fair Value Gap (FVG): A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance that occurs when a strong move leaves a gap between candles—specifically, when the high of one candle and the low of a later candle do not overlap. FVGs often emerge during displacement and are commonly studied as inefficiencies within a price leg.
• Inversion Fair Value Gap: An inversion happens when price fully closes through an existing Fair Value Gap that raided liquidity, suggesting the original imbalance rebalanced, and looks to reverse its original role. For example, when a bearish FVG is closed above after raiding a swing low, it may present a shift in orderflow (bullish inversion). The tool recognizes SIFVGs as “inverted” after a candle body candle closes through the gap post raid.
• Displacement: A strong directional price move, typically with momentum, that leaves a Fair Value Gap behind. Displacement is important in inversion logic, as it creates the context and confidence in comparing and contrasting FVGs and Inversions for obvious flips in market behaviour.
• SIFVG Line: Once inversion occurs, the indicator draws a single horizontal array on the candle's close. It marks the start of model activation. This is not a prediction level or a support/resistance area, as it merely serves as a reference for when model logic is sequentially active.
• Opposing Swing: The swing high or low opposite the one that was swept during the initial raid. This becomes the model’s first target for mechanical delivery and is automatically drawn once the IFVG line is plotted. When price reaches this swing, the model has reached its mechanical objective and could offer opportunities for further continuation to additional liquidity pools if orderflow continues to be present.
• Invalidation: The Sweep Inversion Fair Value Gap is considered invalid in one of two scenarios, which the user can toggle individually: a body print back above/below the inversion in bearish/bullish conditions, or trading above/below the most recent swing high/low after the liquidity raid. The SIFVG line will continue extending until the setup is invalidated by the chosen toggle, or when the Opposing Swing is reached.
• Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint (50%) of the FVG or SIFVG. This line can be optionally displayed for users who use the midpoint of imbalances for reference of imbalance respect. It is not required by the model’s internal logic but may assist with discretionary interpretation.
• Description
At its core, SIFVG follows a structured three-step logic sequence: a FVG is created, liquidity is taken, and the Fair Value Gap (FVG) inside of the leg of the raid is closed through, signally a potential orderflow shift. Once inversion is confirmed, an SIFVG line is plotted at the close of the candle that caused the inversion, making it the structural anchor for the model.
The tool does not account for partial fills or candle wicks for FVGs or SIFVGs. Only full-body closures through a qualifying FVG are recognized. When this occurs, a bullish or bearish inversion is plotted and the model becomes active. From there, the opposing swing (the unswept high or low from the displacement leg) is automatically drawn as the target for the model.
Key Features
The Bias allows traders to define whether to track bullish inversions (closing above bearish FVGs), bearish inversions (closing below bullish FVGs), or neutral to see both. This allows isolated directional focus as well as the ability to display all models.
The Session Filter enables traders to define up to four specific Time blocks when the model is permitted to trigger. The Macros Only toggle filters setups further by limiting activation to the first and last 10 minutes of each hour, a filter inspired for intraday traders and scalpers.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator Effectively
SIFVG is not meant to identify trade signals, entries, or exits. It is best used as a visual tracker and confluence for structure-based delivery. The tool excels as a companion for:
Journaling and reviewing SIFVG-based setups across Timeframes and sessions
Studying structural completion or invalidation behaviour
Tracking delayed deliveries and retracement-based logic
Traders using the tool should be familiar with FVG formations, inversion criterias, and the importance of orderflow once an opposing swing is reached.
Usage Guidance
Add the SIFVG to a TradingView chart. This is a fractal script and can be applied across any Timeframe or asset pairing.
Use the SIFVG line to track inversion structure, monitor when inversions are created and negated, and reference the opposing swing to determine whether structural delivery has completed.
Use the SIFVG in combination with your own discretion and narrative to assess when the model has flipped, held, or broken.

Every Hour 1st/Last FVG vTDL OVERVIEW - Shoutout to Micheal J. Huddleston aka ICT
This indicator identifies the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms within each trading hour, providing traders with potential entry zones, reversal points, and unmitigated gap targets. Based on the concept that the first presented FVG of each hour represents a significant price delivery array where institutional order flow occurred.
The indicator detects FVGs on a lower timeframe (1-minute default) and displays them as boxes on your chart, tracking which gaps get filled and which remain open as potential draw-on-liquidity targets.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price pattern representing an imbalance between buyers and sellers:
Bullish FVG: Forms when candle 3's low is above candle 1's high, leaving a gap
Bearish FVG: Forms when candle 3's high is below candle 1's low, leaving a gap
These gaps often act as magnets for price, which tends to return and "fill" the imbalance before continuing. They function as dynamic support and resistance zones.
KEY FEATURES
Detection Types
FVG: Standard fair value gap detection with volume imbalance expansion
Suspension FVG Blocks: Requires outside prints on both sides for more refined signals
Hourly Display Modes
First Only: Shows whichever FVG appears first each hour (bullish or bearish)
Show Both: Shows first bullish AND first bearish FVG independently each hour
Last FVG Tracking
Optionally display the last FVG of each hour
Useful for comparing how the hour developed
Can extend into the next hour for continued tracking
Breakaway Gap Detection
Gaps not traded into during their formation hour extend forward
Extended gaps display labels showing formation time and date
These unmitigated gaps become price targets and reversal zones
Gap Fill Modes
Touch Box: Marks filled when price enters the gap
Touch Midpoint: Marks filled when price reaches the 50 percent level
Fill Completely: Marks filled when price fills the entire gap with visual progress
HOW TO USE
Entry Points
The first FVG of each hour provides potential entry zones based on price reaction:
When price returns to an FVG and shows rejection, enter in the direction of rejection
The gap zone represents where institutional orders likely reside
Use the boundaries of the gap for stop loss placement
A clean rejection of the zone confirms it as valid support or resistance
Reversal Points
Unmitigated gaps that extend beyond their formation hour are high-probability reaction zones:
Extended boxes with labels indicate unfilled gaps
When price finally reaches these zones, expect a reaction
The longer a gap remains unfilled, the stronger the expected response
These zones act as magnets drawing price back to them
Price Targets
Use unmitigated gaps as draw-on-liquidity targets:
Look for extended boxes above or below current price
Price tends to seek out and fill imbalances
The midpoint line often serves as a minimum target
Multiple unfilled gaps in one direction suggest strong momentum potential
FRAMING DIRECTIONAL BIAS
The first presented FVG of each hour acts as a support or resistance zone. The direction of the FVG itself does not determine bias - it is how price reacts to that FVG that reveals the true market intention.
Reading Price Reaction
Price respects a bullish FVG as support and bounces higher = bullish bias confirmed
Price respects a bearish FVG as resistance and rejects lower = bearish bias confirmed
Price fails to hold a bullish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for shorts
Price fails to hold a bearish FVG and breaks through = potential inversion, look for longs
Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)
When price trades through an FVG and closes beyond it, that gap can invert its role:
A bullish FVG that fails becomes resistance - use it as a short entry zone
A bearish FVG that fails becomes support - use it as a long entry zone
The inversion signals a shift in control from one side to the other
Watch for price to retest the inverted gap before continuing
Support and Resistance Framework
Think of each hourly first FVG as a key level:
Price above the FVG: the gap acts as potential support
Price below the FVG: the gap acts as potential resistance
Watch how price behaves when it returns to the gap zone
A clean rejection confirms the level; a break through signals inversion
SHORT-TERM SCALPING APPLICATION
These FVGs provide scalping opportunities each hour:
Identify the first FVG of the hour as your key level
Wait for price to trade away from it and return
Observe the reaction at the gap zone
Enter in the direction of the reaction with tight risk
Target the next FVG, midpoint, or nearby liquidity
Trade Management
Use the opposite side of the FVG box as your stop loss zone
The midpoint of the gap often provides first target or decision point
Scale out at nearby unmitigated gaps or key levels
If the gap inverts, flip your bias and look for entries in the new direction
MULTI-HOUR CONTEXT
If price consistently respects FVGs as support across hours = uptrend context
If price consistently respects FVGs as resistance across hours = downtrend context
If FVGs keep inverting = choppy or transitional market
Use higher timeframe direction to filter which reactions to trade
Compare first and last FVG of each hour to see how momentum developed
SESSION FILTERING
The indicator automatically excludes unreliable periods:
4 PM to 5 PM New York time (market close hours 16-17)
Weekend closed periods (Saturday and Sunday before 6 PM)
All timestamps use New York timezone for consistency with futures market hours.

PRACTICAL TIPS
The first FVG of each hour is a hidden PD array - treat it as a significant level
Not every gap produces a tradeable reaction - wait for confirmation
Gaps that remain unfilled for multiple hours carry more weight
Use the Show Both mode to see both bullish and bearish opportunities each hour
When multiple gaps cluster in one zone, that area becomes even more significant
Inversions are powerful signals - a failed level often leads to acceleration
NOTES
Works on any instrument and timeframe
Best used on intraday charts (1 minute to 15 minute) viewing 1 minute LTF gaps
Combine with higher timeframe analysis for confluence
These are probability zones, not guarantees - always use proper risk management
The indicator handles HTF to LTF data fetching automatically
AllYouNeedThis indicator provides a complete multi-session framework designed for intraday and swing traders who want to visualize key trading ranges, session structures, and market imbalances.
It automatically detects and displays:
Session zones, including customizable time ranges (e.g. 18:30–22:03, 06:00–09:00), with dynamic boxes that extend in real time.
Premium/discount and deviation levels, based on percentage or pip-based deviations, useful for identifying overextended price zones.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), automatically highlighted with color changes that show whether they are newly created, tapped, or broken.
Dynamic Fibonacci and standard deviation zones, projected from session highs and lows to outline potential retracement and extension areas.
Automatic labeling of key equilibrium and OTE levels, allowing traders to easily locate optimal trade entry zones.
Each visual element dynamically adapts to price action as the session unfolds, helping traders interpret structural imbalances, retracement zones, and directional bias more intuitively.
Overall, this tool offers a structured and data-driven way to map intraday price behavior, making it ideal for traders focusing on precision entries, liquidity zones, and session-based confluence.
FVG Buy/Sell [Multi-TF] by akshaykiriti1443The FVG Buy/Sell indicator is a precision trading tool designed for traders who operate with a clear directional bias. It excels at identifying high-probability entry points by detecting when price interacts with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
This indicator is built on a core principle: instead of predicting the market's direction, it provides the timing for an entry after you, the trader, have established your market bias. By automatically pinpointing bullish and bearish imbalances on both the current and a higher timeframe, it allows you to wait for the market to pull back to a key level and then provides a clear signal for execution.
The Core Strategy: Bias First, Entry Second
This indicator is most powerful when used as part of a two-step trading process. It is not a standalone signal generator; it is an entry confirmation tool.
Step 1: Determine Your Directional Bias
Before looking for any signals from this indicator, you must first have an opinion on the market's most likely direction. This bias should be derived from your primary analysis method, such as:
The Golden Rule:
If your bias is BULLISH, you will ONLY look for BUY signals generated by bullish (green/blue) FVGs. You will ignore all SELL signals.
If your bias is BEARISH, you will ONLY look for SELL signals generated by bearish (pink/orange) FVGs. You will ignore all BUY signals.
Step 2: Execute with the FVG Tap-In Signal
Once your bias is set, the indicator does the rest of the work. You simply wait for the price to pull back into an FVG zone that aligns with your bias and then wait for the confirmation arrow to appear.
A green up arrow confirms that price has tapped a bullish FVG and closed above it, signaling that support has held and it's a valid moment to enter a long position.
A red down arrow confirms that price has tapped a bearish FVG and closed below it, signaling that resistance has held and it's a valid moment to enter a short position.
How to Take a Trade (Step-by-Step Examples)
Example of a Bullish (Long) Trade Setup:
Establish Bias: Your primary analysis shows the market is in a clear uptrend. Your bias is Bullish. You are now only looking for buying opportunities.
Identify Zone: The indicator draws a bullish FVG (a green or blue box) during an impulsive up-move.
Wait for Pullback: Be patient and let the price retrace down into this FVG zone. Do not chase the price.
Confirmation Signal: A green UP arrow appears below a candle. This is your signal. It confirms that buyers have stepped in at the FVG level and defended it.
Entry: Enter a long (buy) position at the open of the candle immediately following the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss below the low of the signal candle or, for a safer stop, below the bottom of the FVG zone itself.
Take Profit: Target a previous high, a higher-timeframe resistance level, or use a risk-to-reward ratio like 1:2 or 1:3.
Example of a Bearish (Short) Trade Setup:
Establish Bias: Your primary analysis shows the market is breaking down into a downtrend. Your bias is Bearish. You are now only looking for selling opportunities.
Identify Zone: The indicator draws a bearish FVG (a pink or orange box) during an impulsive down-move.
Wait for Pullback: Patiently wait for the price to rally back up into this FVG zone.
Confirmation Signal: A red DOWN arrow appears above a candle. This is your confirmation that sellers have rejected the price at this level.
Entry: Enter a short (sell) position at the open of the next candle.
Stop Loss: Place your stop loss above the high of the signal candle or above the top of the FVG zone.
Take Profit: Target a previous low, a key support level, or the next major FVG below.
Features Explained in Detail
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis: HTF zones (dotted lines) carry more weight. A signal from a 4-hour FVG while you are on a 15-minute chart is significantly more powerful than a signal from a 15-minute FVG alone. Use HTF zones as major points of interest.
Confirmed Tap-In Logic: The arrow only appears after price has touched the zone and then closed outside of it in the expected direction. This built-in confirmation filters out wicks that simply pass through a zone without a real market reaction.
Dual Alert System:
Entry Alert ("Price has entered..."): This is a heads-up alert. It tells you to pay attention because price is now in your pre-defined zone of interest.
Tap-In Alert ("Confirmed tap-in..."): This is the execution alert. It signals that the conditions for a trade have been met according to the indicator's logic.
Fade on Tapped: When enabled, a zone will become transparent after a confirmed signal. This visually cleans up your chart, showing you which zones have already been tested and "mitigated."
Minimum FVG Size (Ticks): In volatile or ranging markets, many tiny, insignificant FVGs can form. Use this setting to filter out the noise. Increase the value to only display larger, more significant imbalances.
Disclaimer: Trading involves substantial risk. This indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be used as a sole reason to enter a trade. Always practice robust risk management and use this tool in conjunction with your own trading plan. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
SMT Time Windows# SMT Time Windows
SMT Time Windows is a Pine Script v6 indicator by **Originalsauce1** that automates ICT-style Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergences between two correlated symbols. It detects bullish and bearish SMT divergences using swing highs/lows (pivot logic) across both instruments. Bullish SMT occurs when one symbol makes a higher low while the other forms a lower low; bearish SMT is when one symbol prints a higher high while the other records a lower high. These divergences highlight imbalances in correlated markets and can signal potential momentum shifts. SMT Time Windows plots clear labels for each divergence event and offers comprehensive filtering by custom time sessions.
## Key Features
* **Time Window Filters:** Define up to three custom time windows (e.g. 2:00–4:00 AM, 6:00–8:30 AM, 9:00–10:30 AM) with individual enable/disable toggles. Active windows can be highlighted on the chart with optional background shading for visual cueing.
* **Timezone Support:** User-selectable time zone ensures that time windows align correctly across different session schedules (global session alignment).
* **Adjustable Detection:** Set the pivot **length** (sensitivity of swing detection) and the signal **timeframe**. This pivot-based approach confirms valid swing highs/lows before marking divergences.
* **Clean SMT Labels:** The indicator plots “Bullish SMT” or “Bearish SMT” labels at the relevant pivots, clearly marking each divergence event. Label color and style are customizable, providing a clean visual cue of SMT signals.
* **Chart Highlights:** Optionally shade the chart background during active time windows, making it easy to see when the session filter is in effect.
* **Session Status Table:** An on-chart table shows which time windows are currently active (e.g. shows “Open”/“Closed” status). This real-time session table provides live feedback similar to other TradingView session trackers.
* **Comparison Symbol & Alerts:** Optionally overlay the comparison symbol on your chart. Built-in alerts notify you when bullish or bearish SMT divergences occur, allowing timely review.
## How It Works
SMT Time Windows checks for divergences between two positively correlated markets (for example, equity futures like S\&P 500 (ES) vs Nasdaq 100 (NQ), or FX pairs like US Dollar Index vs EUR/USD). When one instrument’s swing high/low is not confirmed by the other, it flags this as an SMT event. For instance, a **Bearish SMT** is identified when one symbol makes a higher high but the other fails to keep pace (prints a lower high); a **Bullish SMT** is when one symbol’s low is higher while the other’s low is lower. These divergences are interpreted as signs of uneven buying/selling pressure and can precede shifts in momentum.
The indicator is designed for use with correlated markets (e.g. ES/NQ, DXY/EURUSD, etc.) to enhance your market structure analysis. It is not a “set and forget” signal but a tool to spot potential imbalances. Use SMT Time Windows alongside your discretionary analysis and higher-timeframe context for best results.

Inverse Fair Value Gap [Pro+]Introduction
Inverse Fair Value Gap° is a fully customizable charting tool built to track inversion fair value gap logic that occur after displacement events—specifically when Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are closed through, and effectively flipping their original state. The tool is inspired by Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, offering a clean visual interface to support traders studying price behaviour after liquidity sweeps, FVG closures, and highlighting mechanical swings targets.
This indicator does not draw zones or suggest direction. It operates entirely on confirmed price events and produces logic-bound visuals designed for traders who already understand IFVG-based reasoning and seek visual consistency across sessions, Timeframe on any instrument.
Key Terms and Definitions
Swing High / Swing Low: A swing high is a local price peak with lower highs on either side. A swing low is a local trough with higher lows on either side. These are used to detect where liquidity may rest and are required for confirming the initial raid condition in the IFVG model.
Liquidity Raid: This occurs when price trades through a prior swing high or low, effectively “sweeping” a level where orders may be clustered around. The raid is a required precursor to inversion logic in this model. The tool will not evaluate a potential Fair Value Gap or Inversion Fair Value Gap unless a swing high or low has been taken first.
Fair Value Gap (FVG): A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance that occurs when a strong move leaves a gap between candles—specifically, when the high of one candle and the low of a later candle do not overlap. FVGs often emerge during displacement and are commonly studied as inefficiencies within a price leg.
Inversion Fair Value Gap: An inversion happens when price fully closes through an existing Fair Value Gap that raided liquidity, suggesting the original imbalance rebalanced, and looks to reverse its original role. For example, when a bearish FVG is closed above after raiding a swing low, it may present a shift in orderflow (bullish inversion). The tool recognizes IFVGs as “inverted” after a candle body candle closes through the gap post raid.
Displacement: A strong directional price move, typically with momentum, that leaves a Fair Value Gap behind. Displacement is important in inversion logic, as it creates the context and confidence in comparing and contrasting FVGs and Inversions for obvious flips in market behaviour.
IFVG Line: Once inversion occurs, the indicator draws a single horizontal array on the candle's close. It marks the start of model activation. This is not a prediction level or a support/resistance area, as it merely serves as a reference for when model logic is sequentially active.
Opposing Swing: The swing high or low opposite the one that was swept during the initial raid. This becomes the model’s first target for mechanical delivery and is automatically drawn once the IFVG line is plotted. When price reaches this swing, the model has reached its mechanical objective and could offer opportunities for further continuation to additional liquidity pools if orderflow continues to be present.
Invalidation: The Inversion Fair Value Gap is considered invalid in one of two scenarios, which the user can toggle individually: a body print back above/below the inversion in bearish/bullish conditions, or trading above/below the most recent swing high/low after the liquidity raid. The IFVG line will continue extending until the setup is invalidated by the chosen toggle, or when the Opposing Swing is reached.
Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint (50%) of the FVG or IFVG. This line can be optionally displayed for users who use the midpoint of imbalances for reference of imbalance respect. It is not required by the model’s internal logic but may assist with discretionary interpretation.
Description
At its core, IFVG° follows a structured three-step logic sequence: a FVG is created, liquidity is taken, and the Fair Value Gap (FVG) inside of the leg of the raid is closed through, signally a potential orderflow shift. Once inversion is confirmed, an IFVG line is plotted at the close of the candle that caused the inversion, making it the structural anchor for the model.
The tool does not account for partial fills or candle wicks for FVGs or IFVGs. Only full-body closures through a qualifying FVG are recognized. When this occurs, a bullish or bearish inversion is plotted and the model becomes active. From there, the opposing swing (the unswept high or low from the displacement leg) is automatically drawn as the target for the model.
The model remains active until either the opposing swing is tagged (completion) or Invalidation Condition is triggered (close through IFVG, or price violating the liquidity raid swing). Upon invalidation, the IFVG line turns gray, signaling that the structure is no longer valid for ongoing tracking.
Key Features
The Bias allows traders to define whether to track bullish inversions (closing above bearish FVGs), bearish inversions (closing below bullish FVGs), or neutral to see both. This allows isolated directional focus as well as the ability to display all models.
The Liquidity Timeframe defines the Timeframe for swing highs and lows that are identified for the required liquidity raid. The Chart mode allows analysts to use the active chart Timeframe. Auto enables a pre-defined Timeframe Alignment, explained inside of the setting tooltip. Custom allows for user-defined Timeframe alignment, which is helpful when syncing with specific higher-Timeframe structures. Session allows the user to use session highs and lows for the liquidity raid. Observe the difference in the IFVG' model activations based on different Liquidity Timeframe configurations:
Chart:
Automatic:
Custom (4H):
Session:
The FVG Filter Timeframe requires the IFVG setup to trade into a FVG before qualifying the raid filter. For instance, setting this to 4H ensures that only setups that form within a 4-hour FVG. This gives analysts an additional filter to qualify the start of the mechanical model.
The Session Filter enables traders to define up to four specific Time blocks when the model is permitted to trigger. The Macros Only toggle filters setups further by limiting activation to the first and last 10 minutes of each hour, a filter inspired for intraday traders and scalpers.
The Invalidation Condition determines when a IFVG is considered no longer valid. The Close option will maintain the inversion as active until price prints a body past the IFVG. Swing will maintain the inversion as active until the most recent swing from the liquidity raid is traded through; in this case a warning icon will appear once price prints a candle body past the IFVG.
Model Style includes customizable controls for the IFVG line, the opposing swing marker, and invalidated states. Label appearance, line styles, and extension behaviour are fully user-controlled. Traders can also enable the Consequent Encroachment (CE) line, which marks the 50% midpoint of the FVG.
An Info Table is available to display the charts Timeframe, current model state, toggled bias, active Timeframes, asset, and Time filter. Its position is fully customizable and can be moved to match chart preferences.
How Traders Can Use the Indicator Effectively
IFVG° is not meant to identify trade signals, entries, or exits. It is best used as a visual tracker and confluence for structure-based delivery. The tool excels as a companion for:
Journaling and reviewing IFVG-based setups across Timeframes and sessions
Studying structural completion or invalidation behaviour
Tracking delayed deliveries and retracement-based logic
Traders using the tool should be familiar with FVG formations, inversion criterias, and the importance of orderflow once an opposing swing is reached.
Usage Guidance
Add the IFVG° to a TradingView chart. This is a fractal script and can be applied across any Timeframe or asset pairing.
Use the IFVG line to track inversion structure, monitor when inversions are created and negated, and reference the opposing swing to determine whether structural delivery has completed.
Use the IFVG in combination with your own discretion and narrative to assess when the model has flipped, held, or broken.

Paid script
Delta Magnet Zone LiteDelta Magnet Zone Lite is exactly what it sounds like. It is areas where price cold potentially act as a magnet zone for price. Delta Magnet Zone Lite is a lightweight yet powerful visual tool that highlights potential liquidity traps and high-probability reversal zones based on volume spikes and wick imbalances. Designed for precision traders, this indicator visually marks key “magnet” zones where price may react, reverse, or consolidate due to prior aggressive buying or selling activity.
🔹 Core Logic:
Volume Spike Detection
Identifies candles with significantly higher volume than the moving average (customizable). These are likely areas of institutional interest or stop-hunt events.
Wick Ratio Analysis
Measures the size of the upper or lower wick relative to the total candle range. When combined with volume spikes, this helps detect:
Bullish Traps: Large lower wicks with strong buying volume
Bearish Traps: Large upper wicks with strong selling volume
Smart Zone Marking
When trap conditions are met, the script draws a semi-transparent colored box (green for bullish, red for bearish) that extends forward in time, highlighting a magnet zone—a price area likely to be retested or respected by future price action.
🛠 Customization Options:
Volume Spike Threshold
Adjust the multiplier for defining what qualifies as "high volume" relative to the average.
Wick Ratio Sensitivity
Fine-tune how extreme the wick size must be to qualify as a trap.
Zone Lifetime (Lookback)
Control how many bars each zone remains active on the chart.
Toggle Visibility
Turn bullish or bearish zones on/off independently for clean charting.
Ideal Use Cases:
Spotting hidden liquidity zones
Identifying exhaustion points in fast markets
Tracking institutional order imbalances
Enhancing confirmation for entry/exit signals
Whether you're trading intraday breakouts or swing-level reversals, Delta Magnet Zone Lite brings clarity to key reaction levels derived from raw price and volume behavior.
ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System
Overview:
The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones.
This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move.
🔍 What This Script Does
🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic)
The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback.
A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal.
A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction.
📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer
Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction.
Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations.
🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering
Only show signals during institutional trading hours:
London Session
New York AM
Or any custom user-defined session
Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur.
🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional)
Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies.
Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification.
🎨 Visual Feedback
Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles.
Optionally displays:
Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL)
Reversal distance labels
Background color shading on valid signals
Includes built-in alerts for automated trade notification.
🔑 Unique Benefits
Wick Trap Detection: A proprietary approach to detecting stop hunts via wick behavior, not just candle closes.
ATR-based trend filtering: Avoids unnecessary filtering while still maintaining directional bias.
All-in-one system: No need to stack multiple indicators — swing detection, reversal logic, session filtering, and imbalance confirmation are all integrated.
💡 How to Use
Enable Wick Trap Mode to detect stealthy liquidity grabs with strong wicks.
Use Kill Zone filters to trade only when institutions are active.
Optionally enable FVG confluence to improve confidence in reversal zones.
Watch for Bullish signals near SL levels and Bearish signals near SH levels.
Combine with your own execution strategy or other SMC tools for optimal results.

Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.
Turtle Soup ICT Strategy [TradingFinder] FVG + CHoCH/CSD🔵 Introduction
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, designed in the ICT style, operates by hunting or sweeping liquidity zones to exploit false breakouts and failed breakouts in key liquidity Zones, such as recent highs, lows, or major support and resistance levels.
This setup identifies moments when the price breaches these liquidity zones, triggering stop orders placed (Stop Hunt) by other traders, and then quickly reverses direction. These movements are often associated with liquidity sweeps that create temporary market imbalances.
The reversal is typically confirmed by one of three structural shifts : a Market Structure Shift (MSS), a Change of Character (CHoCH), or a break of the Change in State of Delivery (CISD). Each of these structural shifts provides a reliable signal to interpret market intent and align trading decisions with the expected price movement. After the structural shift, the price frequently pullback to a Fair Value Gap (FVG), offering a precise entry point for trades.
By integrating key concepts such as liquidity, liquidity sweeps, stop order activation, structural shifts (MSS, CHoCH, CISD), and price imbalances, the ICT Turtle Soup setup enables traders to identify reversal points and key entry zones with high accuracy.
This strategy is highly versatile, making it applicable across markets such as forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures. It offers traders a robust and systematic approach to understanding price movements and optimizing their trading strategies
🟣 Bullish and Bearish Setups
Bullish Setup : The price first sweeps below a Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone, then reverses upward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a buying opportunity.
Bearish Setup : The price first sweeps above a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zone, then reverses downward after forming an MSS or CHoCH, and finally pulls back to an FVG, creating a selling opportunity.
🔵 How to Use
To effectively utilize the ICT Turtle Soup trading setup, begin by identifying key liquidity zones, such as recent highs, lows, or support and resistance levels, in higher timeframes.
Then, monitor lower timeframes for a Liquidity Sweep and confirmation of a Market Structure Shift (MSS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
After the structural shift, the price typically pulls back to an FVG, offering an optimal trade entry point. Below, the bullish and bearish setups are explained in detail.
🟣 Bullish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) : In a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour or 4-hour), identify recent price lows or support levels that serve as SSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe (e.g., 15-minute or 30-minute), the price must move below one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Higher Low (HL) and Higher High (HH).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a buy trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly below the recent low, and target Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🟣 Bearish Turtle Soup Setup
Identify Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) : In a higher timeframe, identify recent price highs or resistance levels that serve as BSL zones, typically the location of stop-loss orders for traders.
Observe a Liquidity Sweep : On a lower timeframe, the price must move above one of these liquidity zones and then reverse. This movement indicates a liquidity sweep.
Confirm Market Structure Shift : After the price reversal, look for a structural shift (MSS or CHoCH) indicated by the formation of a Lower High (LH) and Lower Low (LL).
Enter the Trade : Once the structural shift is confirmed, the price typically pulls back to an FVG. Enter a sell trade in this zone, set a stop-loss slightly above the recent high, and target Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) in the higher timeframe for profit.
🔵 Settings
Higher TimeFrame Levels : This setting allows you to specify the higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour, or daily) for identifying key liquidity zones.
Swing period : You can set the swing detection period.
Max Swing Back Method : It is in two modes "All" and "Custom". If it is in "All" mode, it will check all swings, and if it is in "Custom" mode, it will check the swings to the extent you determine.
Max Swing Back : You can set the number of swings that will go back for checking.
FVG Length : Default is 120 Bar.
MSS Length : Default is 80 Bar.
FVG Filter : This refines the number of identified FVG areas based on a specified algorithm to focus on higher quality signals and reduce noise.
Types of FVG filter s:
Very Aggressive Filter: Adds a condition where, for an upward FVG, the last candle's highest price must exceed the middle candle's highest price, and for a downward FVG, the last candle's lowest price must be lower than the middle candle's lowest price. This minimally filters out FVGs.
Aggressive Filter: Builds on the Very Aggressive mode by ensuring the middle candle is not too small, filtering out more FVGs.
Defensive Filter: Adds criteria regarding the size and structure of the middle candle, requiring it to have a substantial body and specific polarity conditions, filtering out a significant number of FVGs.
Very Defensive Filter: Further refines filtering by ensuring the first and third candles are not small-bodied doji candles, retaining only the highest quality signals.
In the indicator settings, you can customize the visibility of various elements, including MSS, FVG, and HTF Levels. Additionally, the color of each element can be adjusted to match your preferences. This feature allows traders to tailor the chart display to their specific needs, enhancing focus on the key data relevant to their strategy.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Turtle Soup trading setup is a powerful tool in the ICT style, enabling traders to exploit false breakouts in key liquidity zones. By combining concepts of liquidity, liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts (MSS and CHoCH), and pullbacks to FVG, this setup helps traders identify precise reversal points and execute trades with reduced risk and increased accuracy.
With applications across various markets, including forex, stocks, crypto, and futures, and its customizable indicator settings, the ICT Turtle Soup setup is ideal for both beginner and advanced traders. By accurately identifying liquidity zones in higher timeframes and confirming structure shifts in lower timeframes, this setup provides a reliable strategy for navigating volatile market conditions.
Ultimately, success with this setup requires consistent practice, precise market analysis, and proper risk management, empowering traders to make smarter decisions and achieve their trading goals.
Price Action Analyst [OmegaTools]Price Action Analyst (PAA) is an advanced trading tool designed to assist traders in identifying key price action structures such as order blocks, market structure shifts, liquidity grabs, and imbalances. With its fully customizable settings, the script offers both novice and experienced traders insights into potential market movements by visually highlighting premium/discount zones, breakout signals, and significant price levels.
This script utilizes complex logic to determine significant price action patterns and provides dynamic tools to spot strong market trends, liquidity pools, and imbalances across different timeframes.

High Customizability: Offers extensive user input options for adjusting zone detection, color schemes, and structure analysis.
User Guide:
Order Blocks: Order blocks are significant support or resistance zones where strong buyers or sellers previously entered the market. These zones are detected based on pivot points and engulfing price action. The strength of each block is determined by momentum, volume, and liquidity confirmations.
Demand Zones: Displayed in shades of blue based on their strength. The darker the color, the stronger the zone.
Supply Zones: Displayed in shades of red based on their strength. These zones highlight potential resistance areas.
The zones will dynamically extend as long as they remain valid. Users can set a maximum number of order blocks to be displayed.
Market Structure: Market structure is classified into internal and external shifts. A bullish or bearish market structure break (MSB) occurs when the price moves past a previous high or low. This script tracks these breaks and plots them using a gradient color scheme:
Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:
Load the script onto your chart. The default settings are optimized for identifying key price action zones and structure on intraday charts of liquid assets.
Customize the settings according to your strategy. For example, adjust the "Max Orderblocks" and "Strength Filter" to focus on more significant price action areas.

🔶 USAGE
A volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
Key Levels are the areas where the volume is concentrated or where there are significant volume spikes. These levels are known as key support and resistance levels. High-volume nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
Volume profile also helps identify value areas, which represent the price levels where the most trading activity has taken place. These levels can act as areas of support or resistance as traders perceive them as fair value.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded. Extending PoC options 'Until Bar Cross' or 'Until Bar Touch' helps in identifying Naked Point of Control Lines.
Previous PoC levels can serve as support and resistance for future price movements. Extending PoC Level 'Until Last Bar' option will help to identify such levels.
🔶 DETAILS
One of the unique features of the script is its ability to detect some other key levels such as levels of acceptance and rejection.
Levels of rejection we may summarize as supply and demand levels, these are also referred to as buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. They usually occur at extreme highs or lows, where prices may be too high for buyers (high supply, low demand) or too low for sellers (low supply, high demand)
Levels of acceptance are the levels where Liquidity Voids occur, these are also referred to imbalances. Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up, so we call them levels of acceptance.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case:
Point Of Control Line is touched/crossed
Value Area High Line is touched/crossed
Value Area Low Line is touched/crossed
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last X bars specifid in '# Bars' option and Historical assumes all data available to the user as well as allowed limits of visiual objects (boxs, lines, labels etc)

BPR (Ballanced price range) DetectorHow This BPR Detector Works
This indicator is designed to detect and visualize balanced price ranges (BPRs) on price charts. The indicator has two main components:
Regular FVG Detection - The indicator first detects regular Fair Value Gaps in price action, which are spaces where price has moved quickly leaving a gap. This is necessary because BPRs are derived from regular FVGs.
BPR Detection - When the price action inverts and moves through a regular FVG in the opposite direction, the indicator identifies this as a BPR. This concept is important in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology as it can signal potential changes in trend direction. Additionally the detection logic is refined by incorporating displacement.
The main functionality preserved includes:
Detection of regular FVGs (required to find BPRs)
Conversion of regular FVGs to BPRs when price moves through them creating a FVG in the opposite direction
Visual display of both FVG and BPR zones
Mitigation tracking for both types of imbalances
Displacement visualization that helps identify energetic price moves
Key Settings
FVG Settings - Control the appearance and behaviour of regular Fair Value Gaps
BPR Settings - Control the appearance of Breaker Price Ranges (which have different colours by default)
Mitigation Settings - Define how the indicator determines when an imbalance has been filled
Displacement Settings - Optional highlighting of energetic price moves that may lead to imbalances
ORB + Fair Value Gaps (FVG/iFVG) Suite with Daily 50% MidlineA complete smart-money–focused price-action toolkit combining the New York Open Range Breakout (ORB), ICT-style Fair Value Gaps, Inverted FVGs, and a dynamic Daily 50% Midline.
Designed for traders who want a clean, fast, and highly visual way to track liquidity, imbalances, and intraday directional bias.
📌 Key Features
1. NY Session ORB (09:30–09:45 New York Time)
Automatically plots:
ORB High
ORB Low
Labels for ORB high/low
Optional 5-minute chart restriction
Lines extend forward for easy reference
Used to identify breakout conditions, liquidity sweeps, and directional bias into the morning session.
📌 2. ICT-Style Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Full automated detection of bullish & bearish FVGs based on the classic 3-candle displacement structure:
Bullish FVG: high < low
Bearish FVG: low > high
Each FVG is drawn as a box with:
Custom colour
Custom border style (solid, dashed, dotted)
Automatic extension to the right until filled
Optional size text showing the gap in points (font size/colour adjustable)
Adjustable max lookback for performance
📌 3. Inverted FVGs (iFVGs)
Once price fully fills an FVG, it automatically becomes an iFVG, shown with:
Custom iFVG colour
Custom border style
Extension to the right
Once price trades through the zone from the opposite side, the iFVG is considered “consumed” and:
It stops extending
And optionally auto-deletes based on user settings
This makes it easy to track meaningful imbalances that turn into liquidity pockets.
📌 4. “Show Only After ORB” Filter
Optionally hide all FVGs/iFVGs formed before the ORB completes.
This is especially useful for intraday strategies focused on NY session structure only.
📌 5. Daily 50% Midline (OHLC Midpoint)

Binary Options 1 Minute Signals [TradingFinder] 1 Min Strategy🔵 Introduction
At first sight, price movement in binary options appears random, but behind every move lies a clear logic of liquidity and market imbalance. The market is always driven by the hunt for liquidity and the continuous rebalancing that takes place around Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). These zones are where institutional activity is concentrated and where Smart Money creates the most significant reactions.
When price approaches a key liquidity zone, it often performs a Liquidity Sweep to capture orders resting around previous highs or lows. This move usually presents itself as a False Breakout. Price briefly breaks a level to trigger stop losses and collect liquidity, then quickly reverses direction. Understanding this false breakout behavior is essential for identifying high probability reversals in binary options trading.
After the liquidity sweep, price typically retraces into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block, where the market seeks balance and new orders are introduced. This interaction between liquidity, imbalance, and institutional order flow forms the core logic of every Smart Money trading model.
By focusing on Liquidity Sweeps, False Breakouts, and the structure of FVGs and OBs, traders can read the true intention behind price movements. What seems like random volatility becomes a structured cycle of liquidity collection and reaction, offering clear opportunities for precision-based binary entries.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
This indicator works within the Smart Money framework and focuses on the connection between Liquidity Sweep, False Breakout, Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB).
It is created to help traders identify the moment when the market finishes collecting liquidity and begins to show signs of reversal.
The indicator studies how price behaves around zones where liquidity is concentrated, such as previous highs and lows or areas with visible inefficiency. When a clear reaction forms and a valid candle pattern confirms the shift in direction, the indicator generates a signal that represents the activity of Smart Money.
This tool does not respond to random volatility or noise. It waits for structure, liquidity and confirmation to align together before providing an entry. As a result, every signal has a logical base related to institutional order flow rather than ordinary price fluctuations. This approach allows traders to focus only on the movements that reflect true liquidity behavior.
🟣 Long Setup
A bullish setup takes place when the market moves downward and reaches a sell-side liquidity zone located below previous swing lows. In this area, price performs a Liquidity Sweep by moving under key levels to trigger stop losses and capture liquidity from trapped sellers.
This movement usually appears as a False Breakout because the market breaks below a level for a short moment and then quickly moves back inside the range.
Around this zone, a bullish Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG) often exists, showing where institutional demand is active.
When the indicator detects the presence of liquidity collection together with a valid bullish confirmation candle near an OB or FVG, it creates a Call signal.
This marks the moment when Smart Money is shifting from selling pressure to accumulation, and a strong bullish move often follows. For binary entries, the best opportunity usually comes immediately after the confirmation candle closes.
The reaction tends to happen quickly because the liquidity grab has completed and new institutional buying pressure is entering the market. This type of setup often provides a clean and precise entry with a high probability of success.
🟣 Short Setup
A bearish setup happens when the market rises and enters a buy-side liquidity area above previous highs. Here, the market performs a Liquidity Sweep to trigger stop losses placed above those highs and to absorb liquidity from trapped buyers.
This pattern forms what traders recognize as a False Breakout because the price only breaks the level temporarily before reversing in the opposite direction. A bearish Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG) often appears around this zone, showing where institutional selling interest exists.
Once the liquidity sweep completes and a bearish confirmation candle closes, the indicator produces a Put signal that reflects the shift from buying to selling pressure by Smart Money.
This moment often leads to a fast downward reaction as the market rebalances and fills the nearby inefficiency.
The most effective entry for binary trading is right after the confirmation candle closes, when the false breakout and liquidity collection are both completed. The price usually reacts sharply as the market transitions from liquidity hunting to a new directional move. This setup represents a structured view of how liquidity drives market cycles and how Smart Money creates precise reversals through controlled imbalance and reaction.
🔵 Settings
Time Frame : Defines the timeframe used for analysis. If left blank, the indicator automatically uses the chart’s current timeframe.
Swing Period : Determines how many candles are used to identify structural turning points such as swing highs and swing lows. Higher values increase accuracy but reduce the number of signals.
Signal Type : Specifies the type of signal generated by the indicator. The option All shows every signal, Main Signal displays only the primary one, and Alternative Signal produces a secondary signal that appears one candle after the main signal for additional confirmation.
Candle Pattern : Enables candle pattern logic for reversal confirmation. When active, the indicator issues a signal only when a valid candle formation confirms the market reaction.
Candle LookBack Check : Verifies that the last few candles move in the opposite direction of the signal to be generated. This condition acts as a confirmation filter, ensuring that the signal appears only after a clear counter-move in price.
Last Candle Direction : Considers the direction of the most recent candle in the analysis. It helps determine whether the final candle moves with or against the current trend.
Last Candle Shadow Ratio : Sets the ratio between the last candle’s wick and body to refine confirmation accuracy. Higher values require longer wicks, indicating stronger rejection and a more reliable reversal pattern.
🔵 Conclusion
Trading with Smart Money logic means understanding how liquidity moves through the market.
Each Liquidity Sweep, False Breakout, Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB) reflects the process of collecting and redistributing orders.
This indicator captures that sequence and turns it into precise, structured signals for binary entries. When liquidity is absorbed and a candle confirmation appears, the market reveals its true direction.
At that moment, traders can act with confidence, following institutional flow instead of reacting to random price moves.
Success with this system comes from patience, confirmation, and a clear reading of liquidity behavior, the core principles behind every Smart Money reversal.
FVG Volume Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
FVG Volume Profile is a smart volume analysis tool that identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and overlays a volume profile inside each gap using data from lower timeframes. The indicator automatically selects the best time resolution or allows for manual control, giving traders deeper insight into the volume structure within each imbalance. POC levels and total volumes gives a full microstructure view inside every FVG.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Fair Value Gap Detection (Bullish & Bearish)
Detects price gaps where inefficiency exists using a 3-bar structure.
-Bullish Gaps: Low > High with confirming middle bar.
-Bearish Gaps: High < Low with confirming middle bar.
Only significant gaps (filtered by standard deviation) are plotted to avoid noise.
Multi-Timeframe Volume Profiling
Pulls granular candle and volume data from a lower timeframe —
In Auto Mode, uses a resolution ~10x lower than the current chart.
In Manual Mode, lets the user select a custom timeframe.
This ensures accurate intra-gap volume distribution.
Dynamic Volume Binning
Each FVG is divided into vertical volume bins based on the Resolution input.
Each bin displays relative volume intensity as a horizontal box, scaled by percentage of the max bin volume.
Point of Control (PoC) Line & Label
The bin with the maximum volume inside each FVG is marked with:
A horizontal line (PoC) extending from the left to right side.
A label showing the absolute volume of that bin.
Color-coded to match bullish or bearish FVGs.
Total Volume Label Inside FVG
Each FVG displays the total volume sum from its profile:
For bullish FVGs , shown in the bottom-right corner.
For bearish FVGs , shown in the top-right corner.
Auto-Removal of Invalid Gaps
If price fully closes the gap (crosses its bounds), the FVG, profile, and PoC are deleted automatically.
This keeps the chart clean and focused only on active zones.
Toggleable Volume Profile Display
User can show or hide the volume profiles within FVGs using the "Display" toggle under the "FVG Volume Profile" group.
Only the PoC and FVG boxes remain visible if toggled off.
Volume Resolution Customization
Control the number of bins used for each FVG profile.
Higher resolution = more bins and finer volume analysis. (default 15)
Auto Timeframe Validation Warning
If the selected lower timeframe isn’t actually lower than the chart's, the script shows a visible warning label prompting adjustment.
Helps prevent calculation errors.
⯁ USAGE
Use this tool to identify active imbalance zones (FVGs) with embedded volume context.
Look for PoC positioning inside gaps — near top may indicate absorption or reversal zones.
Combine with price action at the PoC level for precision entries.
Hide volume profile for a cleaner view while retaining key POC and FVG boxes.
Use resolution controls to zoom into fine-grained profiles inside large gaps.
Consider Auto mode for seamless multi-timeframe analysis, or switch to Manual for full control.
⯁ CONCLUSION
FVG Volume Profile transforms raw imbalance detection into actionable insight by embedding lower-timeframe volume structure inside each Fair Value Gap. With PoC highlights, total volume labels, and customizable bin resolution, this indicator is essential for traders who want to understand not just where the gap is — but what volume did inside it .
Rejection Zones with FVG ConfirmationOverview
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability Rejection Zones by detecting a specific and powerful price action pattern. The core logic combines the concepts of price rejection , indicated by overlapping wicks, with a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that confirms a strong market imbalance.
These zones are automatically drawn on your chart and can serve as critical levels of potential support (demand) or resistance (supply) for future price movements. The indicator is fully equipped with multi-timeframe (MTF) capabilities, advanced zone management, and customizable alerts to enhance your trading analysis.
Key Features
Dual Timeframe Analysis : Simultaneously displays Rejection Zones from your current timeframe (CTF) and a selected higher timeframe (HTF). HTF zones often represent more significant price levels.
Advanced Zone Management : Zones are dynamically tracked and their status updates as price interacts with them (e.g., Touch, Covered). You can define conditions for when a zone should be considered invalid.
Smart Overlap Handling : Choose how to handle overlapping zones. Either Replace the old zone with the new one or Keep Both to see all areas of interest.
Performance Optimization : Includes an option to Calculate on Visible Range Only, which significantly improves script performance on charts with extensive historical data.
Customizable Alerts : Set up alerts for when a new Rejection Zone is created or when price touches an existing zone, for both CTF and HTF.
Full Visual Customization : Easily customize the colors of Bullish and Bearish zones for both timeframes to match your chart's theme.
How The Logic Works
A Rejection Zone is identified based on a sequence of candlestick patterns:
Bullish Rejection Zone (Potential Demand) :
- Imbalance Confirmation : A bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is detected, meaning the high of the candle two bars ago (high ) is lower than the current candle's low (low ).
- Price Rejection : The script then checks if the lower wicks of the two candles preceding the FVG (bar and bar ) overlap. This overlap signifies a concentrated area where price was aggressively rejected.
- Zone Creation : If both conditions are met, a Bullish Rejection Zone is drawn covering the area of the combined rejection wicks.
Bearish Rejection Zone (Potential Supply) :
Imbalance Confirmation: A bearish FVG is detected (the low of bar is higher than the current high ).
Price Rejection: The script checks for overlapping upper wicks on bar and bar .
Zone Creation: A Bearish Rejection Zone is drawn on the area of the combined upper wicks.
How to Use
Identify Key Levels : Use these zones as you would with traditional support/resistance or supply/demand zones. They represent areas where a significant market reaction previously occurred.
Entry Triggers : Look for price to return to a zone and show signs of reaction (e.g., reversal candlestick patterns, shift in market structure on a lower timeframe) before considering an entry.
Higher Timeframe Confluence : Pay close attention to the HTF zones. A reaction from an HTF zone is generally more significant than one from a CTF zone. When a CTF zone forms within an HTF zone, it can signal a very high-probability setup.
Settings Explained
Higher Timeframe
Show : Toggles the visibility of HTF zones.
Timeframe Mapping (e.g., 30Sec:, 1Min:) : Choose which higher timeframe to display based on your current timeframe.
Rejection Zone
Show : Toggles the visibility of all zones.
History : Sets the maximum number of recent zones to display on the chart.
Size Half : If checked, reduces the vertical size of the zone by 50%, drawing it from the wick's midpoint to its tip. This can help pinpoint more precise entry levels.
Invalidation Condition : Defines when a zone should be considered invalid and stop being monitored.
- None : Never invalidates.
- Touch : Invalidates when price touches the zone.
- Left : Invalidates after price touches and then leaves the zone.
- Covered : Invalidates when price moves completely through the zone.
- Passed : Invalidates when price has clearly passed the zone.
Do (for Invalidation) : Action to take when a zone is invalidated. Remove will delete it from the chart; Nothing will just stop tracking it.
Overlap Action :
- Replace : If a new zone overlaps an old one, the old one is removed.
- Keep Both : Allows new and old zones to overlap on the chart.
Color Settings (CTF/HTF) : Full control over the border, background, and center-line colors for Bullish and Bearish zones.
Calculate Range
Calculate on Visible Range Only :
- IMPORTANT : Check this to improve performance. The script will only process visible bars.
- NOTE : Enabling this option will disable all alerts, as alerts require the script to process all historical data.
Alert Rejection Zone
Set your desired alert conditions here. You can enable alerts for zone creation and/or when price touches a zone, for both CTF and HTF separately.

📊 Institutional Analyst Board – Smart Money Confluence Scanner for XAUUSD, Forex, Crypto
🔍 Overview
The Institutional Analyst Board is a complete multi-timeframe smart money toolkit designed for traders who demand clarity, confluence, and precision. It brings together institutional-grade metrics—Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Liquidity Sweeps, MACD/RSI bias, VWAP positioning, and Break of Structure (BoS)—into a single powerful visual dashboard.
This indicator is especially optimized for Gold (XAUUSD) but is also compatible with Crypto and Forex assets.
🧠 Key Features
✅ Multi-Timeframe Dashboard (5M / 15M / 1H)
✅ Order Block Detection with dynamic zones that extend until broken
✅ Fair Value Gap Detection with clear zone shading and border distinction
✅ MACD + RSI Confluence for momentum and bias alignment
✅ VWAP Positioning to identify premium/discount zones
✅ Liquidity Sweeps (internal/external range breaks)
✅ Killzone Highlighting (Asia / London / New York)
✅ Break of Structure (BoS) with advanced confluence filters
✅ Gold Bias Flags across timeframes (BUY / SELL / NEUTRAL)
✅ Dynamic Price Watermark with real-time data
✅ Fully customizable colors, transparencies, and text labels
🧠 How It Works
The Board uses institutional logic to analyze the chart in real time:
Metric Purpose
OB Zones Highlight potential smart money footprints where price is likely to react.
FVG Zones Identify imbalance areas between buyers and sellers—ideal for mean reversion entries.
MACD/RSI Confirm momentum direction and relative strength confluence.
VWAP Determine whether price is trading at a premium or discount.
Liquidity Sweeps Detect manipulative moves before major reversals.
BoS Mark potential trend reversals, filtered by institutional confluence.
Each signal is computed across 3 timeframes and visualized in a clean board that updates live. You’ll also see labels, alerts, and session overlays for maximum clarity.
📌 Ideal Use Case
This tool is perfect for:
Funded Challenge Traders (FTMO, MyForexFunds, etc.)
Gold scalpers and intraday traders
Crypto price action traders using BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) and ICT followers
⚙️ Customization Options
Toggle each module (OB, FVG, VWAP, MACD/RSI, etc.)
Set transparency and color for each zone type
Adjust Killzone timing (Asia, London, NY)
Control board position (Top/Bottom) and metric visibility
📈 Compatible Assets
✅ XAUUSD (optimized)
✅ Forex majors/minors
✅ Crypto pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
✅ Indices (GER40, NASDAQ, SPX with minor adaptation)
🛠️ Requirements
Use on TradingView v5
Set chart time to UTC+0 or UTC+3 for optimal Killzone accuracy
For crypto, redefine Killzone hours if needed (24/7 market)
🧠 Pro Tip
Pair this indicator with volume profile tools, CVD/Delta Flow, or Footprint overlays to build high-confidence trade setups with clear institutional confluence.

📊 How to Read the Signals
🔥BUY (below candles) = Aggressive institutional buying
🔥SELL (above candles) = Aggressive institutional selling
Threshold: Customizable imbalance percentage (default 75%)
🏦 Institutional Labels:
🏦↑ (below candles) = Large institutional buying detected
🏦↓ (above candles) = Large institutional selling detected
Volume: Based on block trade size detection
⚡ Sweep Labels:
SWEEP↑ (below candles) = Stop hunt below, expect reversal UP
SWEEP↓ (above candles) = Stop hunt above, expect reversal DOWN
Confirmation: Requires wick rejection + volume confirmation
🎯 Absorption Labels:
ABSORB↑ = True bullish breakthrough above institutional levels
ABSORB↓ = True bearish breakdown below institutional levels
H↑BuV Fail (Orange) = Bullish volume failed = Bearish signal
H↑BeV Fail (Blue) = Bearish volume failed = Bullish signal
💡 Trading Strategies
🟢 Bullish Setups:
🔥BUY + 🏦↑ = Strong institutional buying confirmation
SWEEP↓ + High volume = Stop hunt below, enter long on reversal
H↑BeV Fail = Bearish volume failed, bullish reversal signal
POC Support holding + positive delta = Bounce play
ABSORB↑ = Successful break above resistance
🔴 Bearish Setups:
🔥SELL + 🏦↓ = Strong institutional selling confirmation
SWEEP↑ + High volume = Stop hunt above, enter short on reversal
H↑BuV Fail = Bullish volume failed, bearish reversal signal
POC Resistance holding + negative delta = Rejection play
ABSORB↓ = Successful break below support
⚡ High-Probability Entries:
Multiple confirmations on same candle/area
Volume spikes with directional bias
Failed institutional attempts (reversal plays)
POC level interactions with delta confirmation
📱 Best Practices
🎯 Timeframe Usage:
1-5 minutes: Scalping with institutional confirmation
15-30 minutes: Day trading with sweep detection
1-4 hours: Swing trading with POC levels
Daily: Position trading with major delta shifts
🔧 Optimization Tips:
Start with defaults and adjust sensitivity based on your instrument
Use multiple confirmations - don't trade single signals
Watch volume bubbles for additional bias confirmation
Enable alerts for key institutional activity
Combine with price action for best results
⚠️ Important Notes:
No repainting - all signals are final when candle closes
Volume-based - works best on liquid instruments
Context matters - consider overall market conditions
Risk management - use proper position sizing
Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Avg📊 Bid/Ask Volume Tension with Rolling Average
This indicator is designed to help traders identify pivotal moments of buildup, exhaustion, or imbalance in the market by calculating the tension between buy and sell volume.
🔍 How It Works:
Buy volume is approximated when the candle closes higher than or equal to its open.
Sell volume is approximated when the candle closes below its open.
Both are smoothed using an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) for noise reduction.
Tension is calculated as the absolute difference between smoothed buy and sell volume.
A rolling average of tension shows the baseline for normal behavior.
When instant tension rises significantly above the rolling average, it often signals:
A build-up before a large move
Aggressive order flow imbalances
Potential reversals or breakouts
🧠 How to Use:
Watch the orange line (instant tension) for spikes above the aqua line (rolling average).
Purple background highlights show when tension exceeds a customizable multiple of the average — a potential setup zone.
Use this indicator alongside:
Price action (candlestick structure)
Support/resistance
Liquidity zones or order blocks
⚙️ Settings:
Smoothing Length: Controls the responsiveness of buy/sell volume smoothing.
Rolling Avg Window: Defines the lookback period for the baseline tension.
Buildup Threshold: Triggers highlight zones when tension exceeds this multiple of the average.
🧪 Best For:
Spotting pre-breakout tension
Detecting volume-based divergences
Confirming order flow imbalances
