Swing High/Low with Liquidity Sweeps🧠 Overview
This indicator identifies swing highs and swing lows based on user-defined candle lengths and checks for liquidity sweeps—situations where the price breaks a previous swing level but then closes back inside, indicating a potential false breakout or stop hunt. It also supports visual labeling and alerts for these events.
⚙️ Inputs
Swing Length (must be odd number ≥ 3):
Determines how many candles are used to identify swing highs/lows. The central candle must be higher or lower than all neighbors within the range.
Example: If swingLength = 5, the central candle must be higher/lower than the 2 candles on both sides.
Sweep Lookback (bars):
Defines how many bars to look back for possible liquidity sweeps.
Show Swing Labels (checkbox):
Optionally display labels on the chart when a swing high or low is detected.
Show Sweep Labels (checkbox):
Optionally display labels on the chart when a liquidity sweep occurs.
🕯️ Swing Detection Logic
A Swing High is detected when the high of the central candle is greater than the highs of all candles around it (as per the defined length).
A Swing Low is detected when the low of the central candle is lower than the lows of surrounding candles.
Swing labels are placed slightly above (for highs) or below (for lows) the candle.
💧 Liquidity Sweep Logic
A Sweep High is triggered if:
The current high breaks above a previously detected swing high,
And then the candle closes below that swing high,
Within the configured lookback window.
A Sweep Low is triggered if:
The current low breaks below a previous swing low,
And then closes above it,
Within the lookback window.
These are often seen as stop hunts or fake breakouts.
🔔 Alerts
Sweep High Alert: Triggered when a sweep above a swing high occurs.
Sweep Low Alert: Triggered when a sweep below a swing low occurs.
You can use these to set up TradingView alerts to notify you of potential liquidity grabs.
📊 Use Cases
Identifying market structure shifts.
Spotting fake breakouts and potential reversals.
Assisting in smart money concepts and liquidity-based trading.
Supporting entry timing in trend continuation or reversal strategies.

IU Liquidity Flow TrackerDESCRIPTION
The IU Liquidity Flow Tracker is a powerful market analysis tool designed to visualize hidden buying and selling activity by analyzing price action, volume behavior, market pressure, and depth. It provides a composite view of liquidity dynamics to help traders identify accumulation, distribution, and neutral phases with high clarity.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to gauge the flow of market participants and make informed entry/exit decisions based on the underlying liquidity structure.
USER INPUTS:
* Flow Analysis Period: Length used for analyzing price spread and volume flow.
* Pressure Sensitivity: Adjusts the sensitivity of threshold detection for flow classification.
* Flow Smoothing: Controls the smoothing applied to raw flow data.
* Market Depth Analysis: Sets the depth range for rejection and wick analysis.
* Colors: Customize colors for accumulation, distribution, neutral zones, and pressure visualization.
INDICATOR LOGIC:
The IU Liquidity Flow Tracker uses a multi-factor model to evaluate market behavior:
1. Liquidity Pressure: Combines price spread, price efficiency, and volume imbalance.
2. Flow Direction: Weighted momentum using short, medium, and long-term price changes adjusted for volume.
3. Market Depth: Wick-based rejection scoring to estimate buying/selling aggressiveness at price extremes.
4. Composite Flow Index: Blended value of flow direction, pressure, and depth—smoothed for clarity.
5. Dynamic Thresholds: Automatically adjusts based on volatility to classify the market into:
* Accumulation: Strong buying signals.
* Distribution: Strong selling signals.
* Neutral: No significant flow dominance.
6. Entry Signals: Long/Short signals are generated when flow state shifts, supported by momentum, volume surge, and depth strength.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
Unlike typical indicators that rely solely on price or volume, this tool combines spread behavior, volume polarity, momentum weighting, and price rejection zones into a single visual interface. It dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on market volatility, helping avoid false signals during sideways or low-volume periods.
It is not based on any traditional indicator (RSI, MACD, etc.), making it ideal for traders looking for an original and data-driven market read.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Understand Market Context: Know whether the market is being accumulated, distributed, or ranging.
* Improve Entries/Exits: Use flow transitions combined with volume confirmation for high-probability setups.
* Spot Institutional Activity: Detect subtle shifts in liquidity that precede major price moves.

(ICT)Liquidity Grab + FVG + MSS/BOSThis script is a comprehensive educational indicator that combines and enhances several well-known trading concepts:
Liquidity Grabs (Swing Failure Patterns)
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Market Structure Shifts / Break of Structure (MSS/BOS)
Alerts
It identifies potential bullish and bearish liquidity grabs, confirms them optionally using volume validation on a lower timeframe, and tracks subsequent price structure changes. The indicator visually marks key swing highs/lows, FVG zones, and BOS/MSS levels—allowing traders to observe how price reacts to liquidity and imbalance zones.
🔍 Features:
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP):
Highlights possible liquidity grabs based on recent highs/lows and candle structure.
Volume Validation (Optional):
Filter signals using relative volume outside the swing on a lower timeframe. Adjustable threshold.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Detects imbalance gaps and extends them for easy visualization.
Market Structure (MSS/BOS):
Displays Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) based on pivot highs/lows and closing conditions.
Dashboard:
A compact info panel displaying lower timeframe settings and validation status.
Custom Styling:
Adjustable colors, line styles, and label visibility for clean charting.
🧠 Ideal For:
Traders studying ICT concepts, smart money theories, and price-action-based strategies who want a visual tool for analysis and backtesting.
How to Use:
Wait for a Liquidity Grab (SFP) to form
The first condition for a potential entry is the formation of a Stop Hunt / Swing Failure Pattern (SFP).
This indicates that liquidity has been taken above or below a key level (e.g., previous high/low), and the market may be ready to reverse.
Confirmation with Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Market Structure Shift (MSS)
After the SFP, do not enter immediately. Wait for confirmation:
FVG : A Fair Value Gap (an imbalance in price action) must appear, signaling potential institutional activity.
MSS : A Market Structure Shift (break in the current trend) confirms a possible trend reversal or strong corrective move.
Enter the trade
Once both the FVG and MSS are confirmed after the SFP, you can safely enter a trade in the direction of the shift.
Alert Feature
The indicator includes an alert system to notify you when all conditions are met (SFP + FVG + MSS), so you can react quickly without constantly watching the chart.
Separators & Liquidity [K]Separators & Liquidity
This indicator offers a unified visual framework for institutional price behaviour, combining calendar-based levels, intraday session liquidity, and opening price anchors. It is specifically designed for ICT-inspired traders who rely on time-of-day context, prior high/low sweeps, and mitigation dynamics to structure their trading decisions.
Previous Day, Week, and Month Highs/Lows
These levels are dynamically updated and optionally stop projecting forward once mitigated. Mitigation is defined as a confirmed price interaction (touch or break), and labels visually adjust upon confirmation.
Intraday Session Liquidity Zones
Includes:
Asia Session (18:00–02:30 EST)
London Session (02:00–07:00 EST)
New York AM Session (07:00–11:30 EST)
New York Lunch Session (11:30–13:00 EST)
Each session tracks its own high/low with mitigation logic and duplicate filtering to avoid plotting overlapping levels when values are identical to previous session or daily levels.
Opening Price Anchors
Plots key opens:
Midnight (00:00 EST) (Customizable)
New York Open (09:30 EST) (Customizable)
PM Session Open (13:30 EST) (Customizable)
Weekly Open
Monthly Open
These levels serve as orientation for daily range expansion/contraction and premium/discount analysis.
Time Labels
Includes weekday markers and mid-month labels for better visual navigation on intraday and higher timeframes.
All components feature user-defined controls for visibility, line extension, color, label size, and plotting style. Filtering logic prevents redundant lines and maintains chart clarity.
Originality and Justification
While elements such as daily highs/lows and session ranges exist in other indicators, this script combines them under a fully mitigation-aware, duplicate-filtering, and session-synchronized logic model. Each level is tracked and managed independently, but drawn cooperatively using a shared visual and behavioral control system.
This script is not a mashup but an integrated tool designed to support precise execution timing, market structure analysis, and liquidity-based interpretation within ICT-style trading frameworks.
This version does not reuse any code from open-source scripts, and no built-in indicators are merged. The logic is independently constructed for real-time tracking and multi-session visualization.
Inspiration
This tool is inspired by core ICT concepts and time-based session structures commonly discussed in educational content and the broader ICT community.
It also draws conceptual influence from the TFO Killzones & Pivots script by tradeforopp, particularly in the spirit of time-based liquidity tracking and institutional session segmentation. This script was developed independently but aligns in purpose. Full credit is given to TFO as an inspiration source, especially for traders using similar timing models.
Intended Audience
Designed for traders studying or applying:
ICT’s core market structure principles
Power of Three (PO3) setups
Session bias models (e.g., AM reversals, London continuations)
Liquidity sweep and mitigation analysis
Time-of-day-based confluence planning
The script provides structural levels—not signals—and is intended for visual scaffolding around discretionary execution strategies.

Global Liquidity Index with Editable DEMA + 107 Day OffsetGlobal Liquidity DEMA (107-Day Lead)
This indicator visualizes a smoothed version of global central bank liquidity with a forward time shift of 107 days. The concept is based on the macroeconomic observation that markets tend to lag changes in global liquidity — particularly from central banks like the Federal Reserve, ECB, BOJ, and PBOC.
The script uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) to smooth the combined balance sheets and money supply inputs. It then offsets the result into the future by 107 days, allowing you to visually align liquidity trends with delayed market reactions. A second plot (ROC SMA) is included to help identify liquidity momentum shifts.
🔍 How to Use:
Add this indicator to any chart (S&P 500, BTC, Gold, etc.)
Compare price action to the forward-shifted liquidity trend
Look for divergence, confirmation, or crossovers with price
Use as a macro timing tool for long-term entries/exits
📌 Included Features:
Editable DEMA smoothing length
ROC + SMA overlay for momentum signals
Fixed 107-day forward projection
Includes main DEMA and ROC SMA both real-time and shifted
Average Daily LiquidityIt is important to ensure sufficient stock trading liquidity so that you have sufficient volume to enter the trade and most importantly sufficient liquidity to exit the trade. Because daily trading liquidity can jump around so much by price changes and volume changes, it is important to smooth out the liquidity by using a moving average. Some use a 5 days (trading week) moving average, others use 10 day (2 weeks), 20 day ("month") and some use 65 day (quarter). The default is 10 days based upon the work of Colin Nicholson (The Aggressive Investor and Building Wealth in the Stock Market). Liquidity line changes color dependent upon the chart background luminescence. The amount you are planning to invest in a stock should have a liquidity of 10 (default) times that amount.
1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.

Hidden LiquidityHidden Liquidity Indicator: Detecting Breaker Blocks and Hidden Order Blocks (HOBs)
The Hidden Liquidity Indicator is a powerful tool designed to assist traders in identifying breaker blocks and hidden order blocks (HOBs). By analyzing untouched candle bodies within order blocks, it provides a systematic approach to evaluating fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks based on engulfing candles.
Features of the Hidden Liquidity Indicator
This indicator effectively differentiates between complete HOBs, partial HOBs and partially mitigated HOBs (PMHOBs), allowing traders to assess market structure with precision. The key classifications include:
HOB (Hidden Order Block): The candle body fully aligns within the FVGs without being touched by wicks, establishing a strong and reliable breaker block.
PMHOB (Partial Mitigated Hidden Order Block) : The candle body is mitigated by less than 50%, making it a weaker version of the Hidden OB.
PHOBs (Partial Hidden Orderblock) : The candle body fits at least by 50% in the FVG making it also weaker than a common HOB
For an HOB to be considered valid, its equilibrium must be crossed by the FVGs, ensuring a focused and high-quality analysis of market structure.
Visualization and Market Structure Analysis
The Hidden Liquidity Indicator utilizes distinct color codes to enhance readability and clarity:
Bullish HOBs – Green
Bearish HOBs – Red
PMHOBs – Orange
PHOBs - Blue
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF)
The indicator is capable of identifying HOBs,PHOBS and PMHOBs across all timeframes. Traders can seamlessly integrate their preferred timeframes by configuring the settings in TradingView.
Settings
You can choose wether you want the indicator to show PHOBs and PMHOBs
Why Use the Hidden Liquidity Indicator?
This indicator provides a structured and precise methodology for analyzing order blocks and breaker blocks. By focusing on untouched candle bodies and equilibrium levels, it offers a unique perspective on market structure that is often overlooked by traditional order block indicators. Its multi-timeframe analysis capability makes it an indispensable tool for traders seeking to refine their market strategy and enhance decision-making.
This guide serves as a comprehensive reference for optimizing the Hidden Liquidity Indicator, enabling traders to leverage its full potential for effective market analys
Killzones & Previous High-Low Liquidity [odnac]This indicator is designed for use in intraday trading to visualize key "Killzones" (specific time windows during different global market sessions) and highlight liquidity levels based on previous highs and lows from the previous day and week.
It helps traders identify potential market entry and exit points based on time-based trading zones and price action levels.
Key Features:
Killzone (Market Session Timeframes):
Asia (2000-0000 UTC): Displays a shaded box over the Asia trading session.
Europe (0200-0500 UTC): Highlights the European trading session.
New York AM (0830-1100 UTC): Represents the morning session of the NY market.
New York PM (1330-1600 UTC): Represents the afternoon session of the NY market.
Each of these timeframes can be customized in terms of session start and end times, and the shaded areas will help identify high liquidity periods when the market tends to be more active.
Previous High-Low Liquidity Zones:
Previous Week's High/Low: Displays lines at the high and low of the previous week.
These are important liquidity levels that can influence price action.
Previous Day's High/Low: Shows the high and low from the previous trading day.
These are also significant levels to watch for potential support and resistance.
Filters and Customization:
Position Filtering: The indicator allows users to filter out previous highs or lows if the current price doesn't align with those levels.
For example, it can filter out previous week highs if the current price is lower than that level.
Vertical Lines: Optional vertical lines to highlight key time points such as the start and end of the previous week and day.
How It Works:
The indicator visually draws "killzones" as shaded regions on the chart, indicating periods of increased market activity.
This can help traders align their strategies with the most liquid periods of the day.
The previous high and low lines (both for the previous week and the previous day) are drawn as solid lines and can be toggled on/off in the settings.
Labels are added to indicate the specific levels and periods.
The indicator provides clear visual cues, helping traders assess if the price is near important liquidity levels and whether the current market conditions align with those levels.
Customizable Settings:
You can control whether each Killzone and liquidity level is shown on the chart.
Color customization for the various zones and lines is also available.
The indicator also lets you decide whether to hide weekend data, set time-frame limits, and choose whether or not to show vertical lines at the beginning and end of each trading session.
This indicator is aimed at traders who want to trade based on high-liquidity periods and understand where key support and resistance levels are likely to emerge based on previous price action.
True Liquidity BlocksSo basically I've been deep diving into liquidity trading concepts similar to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and developed an indicator that breaks down market movement through a volume-centric lens.
Key Concept:
Markets move not just by price, but by resolving trapped positions
Volume segments, not time intervals, show true market dynamics
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) becomes a key structural reference
What Makes This Different:
Tracks volume segments instead of fixed time frames
Identifies "trapped" trader positions
Measures liquidity level efficiency
Color-codes bars based on nearest liquidity zone
Indicator Features:
Cyan/Red liquidity levels showing buy/sell pressure
Efficiency tracking for each level
Dynamic volume-based segmentation
Bar coloring to show nearest liquidity zone
Theoretical Inspiration: Viewed markets as energy systems where:
Positions create potential energy
Price movement resolves this energy
Trends form through systematic position liquidation
VWAP Recalculation in Each Segment:
Segment Start:
VWAP resets when volume threshold User Inputtable (600,000) is reached
Uses the last 4 price values (High, Low, Close, Close) for calculation
Weighted by volume traded during that segment
Calculation Method:
pineCopy = ta.vwap(hlcc4, na(segment_start) ? true : na, 1)
hlcc4: Combines high, low, close prices
na(segment_start): Ensures reset at new segment
Weighted by volume, not equal time intervals
Key Points:
Dynamic recalculation each segment
Reflects most recent trading activity
Provides real-time fair price reference
Tracks positioning
Essentially, VWAP resets and recalculates with each new volume segment, creating a rolling, volume-weighted average price that maps trader positioning.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) Explained:
When a volume segment closes relative to VWAP, it creates natural positioning traps:
BSL (Cyan) - Created when price closes BELOW THAT SEGMENT'S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned ABOVE VWAP (In Profit)
SSL (Red) - Created when price closes ABOVE THAT SEGMENT"S VWAP:
Bulls are positioned ABOVE VWAP (trapped)
Shorts are positioned BELOW VWAP (trapped)
Core Mechanism:
VWAP acts as a reference point for trader positioning
Trapped positions create inherent market tension
Levels expand to show accumulating pressure
Color-coded for quick identification of potential move direction
The goal: Visualize where traders are likely "stuck" and must eventually resolve their positions or liquidate other's, driving market movement.
It was just a fun experiment but If ya'll have any thoughts on it or what I could do to improve it, I would appreciate it.
Just a little note, It's optimized for futures, but if u uncheck the "Rest at Futures Open ?" setting, it allow full reign of any asset with volume data.
Continuous Multi-Factor Trend Oscillator with Rolling Liquidity
// **Overview**
This script generates a *Continuous Multi-Factor Trend Oscillator* that integrates multiple market dynamics, including **long-term trends**, **short-term trends**, **volume adjustments**, **volatility factors**, **ADX trend strength**, and **rolling liquidity**. The result is a smooth, dynamic oscillator that reflects comprehensive market conditions.
### **Key Features**
1. **Long-Term Trend Score (LT Score)**: Measures the deviation of price from its EMA, normalized by standard deviation. Captures broad trend direction.
2. **Short-Term Trend Score (ST Score)**: Evaluates the slope of a short-period EMA, normalized by ATR, to reflect shorter-term momentum.
3. **Volume Adjustment**: Adjusts trend scores based on the relative volume compared to its moving average.
4. **Volatility Adjustment**: Incorporates ATR into the scoring system, penalizing or boosting scores based on current volatility compared to historical norms.
5. **ADX Trend Strength**: Uses ADX to identify trend strength, scaling scores positively or negatively depending on whether the market is trending or ranging.
6. **Rolling Liquidity**: Analyzes persistent buying or selling pressure by aggregating net buy/sell liquidity over a rolling lookback period.
### **Calculation Workflow**
- **Inputs**: Configurable parameters like long/short periods, ATR period, ADX smoothing, and volume lookback.
- **Trend Scores**: LT and ST scores are computed separately to capture trend dynamics across different timeframes.
- **Adjustments**: Volume, volatility, ADX, and rolling liquidity adjustments are calculated and scaled appropriately.
- **Final Oscillator**: Combines all scores into a single value and applies smoothing for clarity.
### **How It Works**
1. *Long-Term and Short-Term Trends*: Trend scores are calculated based on EMAs and normalized using standard deviation or ATR.
2. *Volume and Liquidity Factors*: Incorporates net up/down volume and liquidity to reflect market participation levels.
3. *ADX Strength*: Distinguishes trending vs. ranging markets, influencing the oscillator direction accordingly.
4. *Final Output*: All factors are combined into a single oscillator, smoothed using an EMA.
### **Visualization**
- The oscillator is plotted as a continuous line with dynamic scaling:
- **Above 75**: *Very Bullish*
- **Below -75**: *Very Bearish*
- **Threshold Levels (50/-50, 10/-10)**: Provide additional interpretative guidance.
- **Labels**: Displays sentiment at the last bar for quick reference (e.g., *Strongly Bullish*, *Neutral*).
### **Use Cases**
- Ideal for identifying market conditions (bullish, bearish, neutral) based on multiple factors.
- Can serve as a confirmation tool alongside price action or other indicators.
### **Customizable Parameters**
- All periods (e.g., long-term, short-term, ATR, ADX) and lookbacks are adjustable, allowing fine-tuning based on market behavior and trading preferences.

ICTProTools | ICT Insight - Market Environment🚀 INTRODUCTION
The Market Environment Indicator provides traders with an essential contextual framework for analyzing price movements. Built on the principles of ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), this tool offers a structured view of how institutional players drive markets through liquidity manipulation and price level interactions. By defining the market environment, the indicator helps traders focus on the most relevant price zones, reducing distractions and enhancing decision-making.
At its core, the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) creates a clear structure of protected highs/lows and Premium/Discount zones , highlighting key areas for potential price reactions. This framework gives traders a lens to interpret market behavior and concentrate on meaningful liquidity zones and price action. The indicator helps traders navigate the market with precision, spotting significant opportunities while filtering out market noise. Indeed, the IBDR isn't always easily identifiable, and not every move will form a distinct dealing range.
This indicator goes beyond mere price levels… It reveals the larger market context in which prices evolve. By mastering this environment, traders can align their strategies with institutional logic and make well-informed decisions.
💎 FEATURES
The Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) is a crucial concept within the ICT methodology that helps traders identify the market environment across multiple timeframes, specifically the premium and discount zones. The IBDR delineates areas where traders have the potential to buy low and sell high.
Its extremes are defined by the sweep of both buy-side and sell-side liquidity . These levels indicate the boundaries within which price is expected to evolve . Understanding these boundaries allows traders to determine where it is appropriate to enter or exit trades.
The primary goal of utilizing the IBDR is to capitalize on price movements by buying at discounted levels and selling at premium levels. This strategy aligns with the fundamental principle of trading: to buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices, maximizing profit potential.
By visualizing the IBDR on your charts, you can gain valuable insights into the prevailing market conditions and make informed trading decisions that align with the institutional approach to buying and selling.
This chart illustrates the Interbank Dealing Range (IBDR) applied to the US100 index, displaying two from different timeframes: a 1-hour (1h) IBDR on the left and a 30-minute (30m) IBDR on the right. This multi-timeframe view provides essential context for price action analysis.
The 1h IBDR could here function as the primary reference range, establishing key boundaries (High and Low) for price movement. Within this range, the Equilibrium (midpoint) separates the Premium zone (above) from the Discount zone (below). The 0.25 and 0.75 levels add further precision by subdividing these zones.
Price action then flows between these zones, creating and targeting liquidity at higher and lower levels through Relative Equal Highs and Lows. A strong upward movement into the deeper level of the Premium Zone captures high-side liquidity (with a notable reaction at the FVG on the left), forming a secondary 30m IBDR. After this liquidity sweep, the remaining liquidity is on the low side. Price then reverses downward toward it. Here, the 30m IBDR would suggest a confirmation for a potential sell entry by targeting the IBDR lows.
The relationship between the broader 1h IBDR, the more detailed 30m IBDR, and all related levels creates a powerful analytical framework. The larger timeframe provides context, while the smaller one reveals specific trading opportunities by providing entry confirmations.
✨ SETTINGS
IBDR Metrics: Adjust the timeframe and sensitivity for calculating the IBDR so traders can adapt the indicator to both short-term intraday movements and longer-term trends.
Premium/Discount Zones: Customize the levels such as 0, 0.5, 1, and other levels like 0.25 and 0.75 by default and their displayed colors and associated labels.
Alerts: Configure the alerts for Premium/Discount zones, High/Low breaks, and new IBDR, ensuring traders are kept up to date on key market events.
🎯 CONCLUSION
The Market Environment indicator serves as a powerful tool for analyzing and navigating market structure through liquidity zones. It helps identify optimal buy and sell areas while aligning with the institutional logic of major market players. While its features provide a valuable edge, it’s essential to remember that none should be used on its own, and many more factors go into being a profitable trader.
SMC Order Block & Liquidity EntryThe SMC Order Block and Liquidity Trap Entry Strategy script uses Smart Money Concepts (SMC), which analyze institutional actions in the market, to assist traders in identifying high-probability trades. In order to help traders match their entry with institutional activity, this script highlights important regions of interest, including order blocks, liquidity zones, and indications for Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH).
The fundamental ideas of this approach, which focuses on regions where institutions frequently make sizable orders or sweep liquidity, are based on SMC principles. Order blocks, which are frequently important support or resistance zones when institutions are involved, are the final bullish or bearish candle before a significant price move in the other direction. There are liquidity zones that show where retail stop-loss orders build up (above recent highs or below recent lows), such as Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL). Before changing the direction of the price, institutions could target these zones, giving traders possible chances.
The script depicts liquidity levels above or below recent highs and lows, automatically finds order blocks within a specified lookback time, and looks for BOS (a continuation signal) or CHoCH (a reversal signal). When liquidity retests inside an order block coincide with BOS or CHoCH circumstances, entry signals are produced. While short entries are triggered when the price breaks below the order block and SSL, long entry alerts are triggered when the price breaks above the order block and BSL.

Global Liquidity Index and DEMA1001. Global Liquidity Index:
The code calculates global liquidity from economic data from multiple countries and regions. Specifically, it aggregates money supply data from major economies such as the United States, Europe, China, and Japan, and sums and adjusts them to get a global liquidity index.
This index is calculated by summing data from different sources and subtracting the impact of some financial instruments (such as reverse repurchase agreements, etc.), and then converting the result into a number in trillions. This can help analyze the liquidity conditions in global money markets.
2. ROC SMA (Simple Moving Average of Rate of Change):
The code calculates the rate of change (ROC) of the global liquidity index, which is a way to measure the speed of change of the index.
Then, a simple moving average (SMA) is applied to the rate of change, which helps smooth the data and identify trends.
The ROC SMA curve is displayed in yellow to help users observe the trend of liquidity changes.
3. DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average):
DEMA is a more complex moving average that attempts to reduce the lag of the moving average and provide a more sensitive trend response.
The calculation method is to first calculate a standard exponential moving average (EMA), then calculate the EMA of this EMA, and use these two results to calculate DEMA.
The code allows users to set the period length of DEMA (default is 100), which can adjust the speed of DEMA's response to price changes.
The DEMA curve is displayed in blue, helping users to more accurately capture the trends and changes of global liquidity indicators.
[DarkTrader] Swing OrderflowSwing Orderflow is a indicator that helps traders detect key swing highs and lows in price action. It is designed to enhance your charting experience by highlighting important support and resistance levels while providing clear visual cues on market structure changes. By tracking swing pivots and price trends, this indicator enables traders to make more informed decisions regarding potential entry and exit points in the market.
This indicator is inspired by @Fractalyst Indicator :
The core functionality of the script revolves around detecting swing highs and lows based on a customizable swing period. It identifies these pivots by comparing price movements over a specific time window, marking the points where price either peaks or bottoms out. Swing highs are plotted as resistance levels when the price breaks above a certain threshold, while swing lows are plotted as support levels when price breaks below it. These key points are represented with dotted lines and labels on the chart for easy reference.
Indicator In Use :
Swing High Calculation
A swing high occurs when the high of a specific bar (or candle) is greater than the highs of the surrounding bars within a defined range (called the swing period).
Function used to find the highest price within a specified range : ta.highest(period)
If the current price is greater than the highest price of this period, it's marked as a potential swing high.
A swing high generally represents a resistance level, where the price has reached a peak before declining.
Swing Low Calculation
A swing low occurs when the low of a specific bar is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars within the swing period.
Function used to find the lowest price within a specified range : ta.lowest(period)
If the current price is lower than this lowest price, it's identified as a swing low.
Swing lows represent support levels, where the price reaches a bottom before bouncing back.
These points are plotted on the chart, and the script also tracks whether price breaks above the swing high or below the swing low to determine trends or possible reversals.
BSL (Buy Side Liquidity)
BSL represents the Buy Side Liquidity, where traders are expected to have their buy orders (usually stop-loss orders for short positions).
When the price reaches a swing high, traders who are short may have stop orders placed above this level. Once these levels are breached, the script identifies this as a liquidity area where stop orders get triggered, causing potential upward price movement.
The script marks the swing high with a "BSL" label and line to indicate this key resistance and liquidity zone.
SSL (Sell Side Liquidity)
SSL refers to the Sell Side Liquidity, where traders place sell orders (usually stop-loss orders for long positions).
Swing lows are important levels where traders holding long positions place their stop orders. When the price drops below a swing low, it triggers these sell orders, causing potential downward price movement.
The script marks the swing low with an "SSL" label and line, signaling this key support and liquidity zone.
In essence, BSL and SSL represent areas where liquidity is pooled, making them critical points in price action. These liquidity areas, when breached, often lead to aggressive price moves, allowing traders to anticipate trends.
Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:
Identify the liquidity zone (SFP, fake breakout).
Review the candles and find the first positive candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the positive candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes above the CISD Level.
Enter the trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 Bearish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Downward)
In Bearish CISD, the trader looks for a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This change typically occurs when the price hits a liquidity level, indicated by patterns such as SFP or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bearish CISD are :
Identify the liquidity zone.
Review the candles and find the first negative candle.
Set the CISD Level using the opening price of the next candle after the negative candle.
Confirm the change in state of delivery when the price closes below the CISD Level.
Enter a short trade after CISD confirmation.
🟣 CISD Compared to ChoCh and MSS (CISD Vs ChoCh/ MSS)
CISD, ChoCh, and MSS are all tools for identifying trend changes in the market, but they have some differences :
CISD: Focuses on a change in the state of delivery and uses liquidity patterns (SFP, fake breakout) and key candles to confirm trend reversals.
ChoCh: Identifies a change in the market’s character, often signaling rapid shifts in trend direction.
MSS: Focuses on changes in market structure and identifies the breaking of key levels as a signal of trend shifts.
🔵 Settings
🟣 CISD Logical settings
Bar Back Check : Determining the return of candles to identify the CISD level.
CISD Level Validity : CISD level validity period based on the number of candles.
🟣 SFP Logical settings
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.
🟣 CISD Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🟣 SFP Display settings
Displaying or not displaying swings and setting the color of labels and lines.
🔵 Conclusion
CISD is a powerful tool for identifying trend reversals using liquidity patterns and key candle analysis. Traders can use the CISD Level to detect trend changes and find optimal entry and exit points.
This concept is similar to ChoCh and MSS but stands out with its focus on confirming trend changes through liquidity and specific patterns. With the right approach, CISD helps traders capitalize on market movements more effectively.

God's of LiquidityHere’s a detailed description for your script, following the guidelines for clarity and originality:
---
**Title:** God's of Liquidity
**Description:**
The "Gods of Liquidity" script is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities based on a combination of liquidity levels, RSI-based sentiment analysis, and session-specific filters.
**Key Features:**
1. **Liquidity Zones Identification:**
- The script dynamically calculates the previous day's high and low levels, which serve as critical liquidity zones. Traders can use these levels to spot potential breakout points and reversals.
2. **RSI-Based Sentiment Analysis:**
- The script incorporates a sophisticated RSI-based sentiment model that differentiates between institutional (Banker) and retail (Hot Money) activity. This dual RSI approach allows traders to gauge market sentiment and anticipate shifts in momentum.
- **Banker RSI:** Measures the sentiment of institutional traders, with customizable sensitivity and period parameters.
- **Hot Money RSI:** Measures retail trader sentiment, with its own adjustable settings to tailor the script to various market conditions.
3. **Session and Day Filters:**
- Traders can restrict signals to specific trading sessions and days of the week, providing greater control and precision in executing trades. This feature is particularly useful for aligning trading activity with market conditions that best suit the strategy.
4. **Breakout and Reversal Signals:**
- The script generates buy signals when the price breaks above the previous day's high, accompanied by bullish RSI sentiment from institutional traders. Conversely, sell signals are generated when the price breaks below the previous day's low, with bearish institutional sentiment.
- These signals are visually marked on the chart, making it easier for traders to identify potential trading opportunities.
5. **Customizable Moving Averages:**
- The script allows users to customize the moving averages used in the RSI calculations, giving traders the flexibility to adapt the tool to their specific trading style and market conditions.
6. **Alert System:**
- Alerts are integrated to notify traders when buy or sell conditions are met, ensuring that traders can react promptly to potential trading opportunities without constantly monitoring the charts.
**How It Works:**
- The script uses the previous day's high and low as key liquidity levels. The price crossing these levels, combined with RSI-based signals, indicates potential buy or sell opportunities.
- The sentiment analysis is derived from the RSI values, with separate calculations for institutional and retail activities. The crossover points of these RSI values against their respective moving averages trigger buy or sell signals.
- The session and day filters allow traders to focus on the most relevant times for trading, enhancing the effectiveness of the strategy.
**Usage:**
- This indicator is designed for Forex traders who want to integrate liquidity zones and sentiment analysis into their trading strategy. It is particularly effective on daily or higher timeframes where liquidity levels and RSI-based sentiment analysis can provide strong indications of market direction.
- The script's flexibility in adjusting session times, days, and RSI parameters makes it suitable for a wide range of trading styles, from day trading to swing trading.

Global Net Liquidity (TG fork)Worldwide net liquidity, with trend coloring.
Global Net Liquidity attempts to represent worldwide net liquidity, and is defined as: Fed + Japan + China + UK + ECB - RRP - TGA , Where the first five components are central bank assets.
On TradingView, the indicator can be reproduced with the following equations: Global Net Liquidity = FRED:WALCL + FRED:JPNASSETS * FX_IDC:JPYUSD + CNCBBS * FX_IDC:CNYUSD + GBCBBS * FX:GBPUSD + ECBASSETSW * FX:EURUSD + RRPONTSYD + WTREGEN
However, this indicator adds a moving average cloud, and margin coloring, which eases historical trend assessment at a glance.
This indicator can be seen as an alternative representation of the accumulation/distribution indicator (and hence the same terms can be used in this description).
The Moving Average Cloud is simply the filling between the moving average (by default an EMA) and the current value. This feature was inspired by D7R ACC/DIST closed-source indicator, kudos to D7R for making such neat visual indicators.
Usage instructions:
Blue is more likely a phase of accumulation because the current value is above its historical price as defined by the moving average,
red is when this is more likely a phase of distribution.
Yellow is when the difference is below the margin, so we consider it is insignificant and that the trend is undecided. This can be disabled by setting the margin to 0.
While the color indicates if it's more likely an accumulation (blue) or distribution (red) phase or undecided (yellow), the cloud's vertical size allows to assess the strength of this tendency and the horizontal size the momentum, so that the bigger the cloud, the stronger the accumulation (if cloud is blue) or distribution (if cloud is red).
Why is that so? This is because the cloud represents the difference between the current tendency and the moving averaged past one, so a bigger cloud represents a bigger departure from recently observed tendencies. In practice, when there is accumulation, a pump in price can be expected soon, or if it already happened then it means it is indeed supported by volume, whereas if distribution, either a dump is to be expected soon, or if it already happened it means it's supported by volume.
Or maybe not necessarily a dump, but if there is a move upward in price, but the indicator indicates a strong distribution, then it means that the price movement is not supported and may not be sustainable (reversal may happen at anytime), whereas if price is going upward AND there is an accumulation (blue coloring) then it is more sustainable. This can be used to adapt strategies accordingly (risk on/risk off depending on whether there is concordance of both price and accumulation/distribution).
This indicator also includes sentiment signals that can be used to trigger alarms.
This indicator is a remix of Dharmatech's, who authored the first this Global Net Liquidity equation, kudos to them! Please show them some love if you like this indicator!
