ICT Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Breaker Blocks + Reversal Candles🔵 Introduction
The "Breaker Block" concept, widely utilized in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) technical analysis, is a crucial tool for identifying reversal points and significant market shifts. Originating from the "Order Block" concept, Breaker Blocks help traders pinpoint support and resistance levels. These blocks are essential for understanding market trends and recognizing optimal entry and exit points.
A Breaker Block is essentially a failed Order Block that changes its role when price action breaks through it. When an Order Block fails to hold as a support or resistance level, it reverses its function, becoming a Breaker Block.
There are two primary types : Bullish Breaker Blocks and Bearish Breaker Blocks. These Breaker Blocks align with the prevailing market trend and indicate potential entry points after a liquidity sweep or a shift in market structure.
Understanding and applying the Breaker Block strategy enables traders to capitalize on the behavior of institutional investors, enhancing their trading outcomes.

🔵 How to Use
The ICT Setup 02 indicator designed to automate the identification of Bullish and Bearish Breaker Blocks. This tool enables traders to easily spot these blocks on a chart and utilize them for entering or exiting trades. Below is a breakdown of how to use this indicator in both bullish and bearish setups.
🟣 Bullish Breaker Block Setup
A Bullish Breaker Block setup is identified in an uptrend, where it serves as a potential entry point. This setup occurs when a Bearish Order Block fails and the price moves above the high of that Order Block. In this scenario, the previously bearish Order Block turns into a Bullish Breaker Block, which now acts as a support level for the price.
To trade a Bullish Breaker Block, wait for the price to retest this newly formed support level. Confirmation of the uptrend can be achieved by analyzing lower time frames for further market structure shifts or other bullish indicators.
A successful retest of the Bullish Breaker Block provides a high-probability entry point for a long trade, as it signals institutional support. Traders often place their stop-loss below the low of the Breaker Block zone to minimize risk.
🟣 Bearish Breaker Block Setup
A Bearish Breaker Block setup, conversely, is used in a downtrend to identify potential sell opportunities. This setup forms when a Bullish Order Block fails, and the price moves below the low of that Order Block.
Once this Order Block is broken, it reverses its role and becomes a Bearish Breaker Block, providing resistance to the price as it pushes downward. For a Bearish Breaker Block trade, wait for the price to retest this resistance level.
A confirmation of the downtrend, such as a market structure shift on a lower time frame or additional bearish signals, strengthens the setup. The Bearish Breaker Block retest provides an opportunity to enter a short position, with a stop-loss placed just above the high of the Breaker Block zone.
🔵 Settings
Pivot Period : This setting controls the look-back period used to identify pivot points that contribute to the detection of Order Blocks. A higher period captures longer-term pivots, while a lower period focuses on more recent price action. Adjusting this parameter allows traders to fine-tune the indicator to match their trading time frame.
Breaker Block Validity Period : This setting defines how long a Breaker Block remains valid based on the number of bars elapsed since its formation. Increasing the validity period keeps Breaker Blocks active for a longer duration, which can be useful for higher time frame analysis.
Mitigation Level BB : This option lets traders choose the level of the Order Block at which the price is expected to react. Options like "Proximal," "50% OB," and "Distal" adjust the zone where a reaction may occur, offering flexibility in setting up the entry and stop-loss levels.
Breaker Block Refinement : The refinement option refines the Breaker Block zone to display a more precise range for aggressive or defensive trading approaches. The "Aggressive" mode provides a tighter range for risk-tolerant traders, while the "Defensive" mode expands the zone for those with a more conservative approach.
🔵 Conclusion
The Breaker Block indicator provides traders with a sophisticated tool for identifying key reversal zones in the market. By leveraging Breaker Blocks, traders can gain insights into institutional order flow and predict critical support and resistance levels.
Using Breaker Blocks in conjunction with other ICT concepts, like Fair Value Gaps or liquidity sweeps, enhances the reliability of trading signals. This indicator empowers traders to make informed decisions, aligning their trades with institutional moves in the market.
As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to incorporate proper risk management, using stop-losses and position sizing to minimize potential losses. The Breaker Block strategy, when applied with discipline and thorough analysis, serves as a powerful addition to any trader’s toolkit.
Search in scripts for "market structure"
Valid Pullbacks and Trend by kpt. GonzoThis script helps identify valid pullbacks. Based on the marked pullbacks, it can draw both internal and external structure trendlines.
A pullback is marked with a small triangle above or below the candle that created the local high or low.
A new local high is marked with a red triangle above the candle if at least one subsequent candle has a low lower than the low of the candle that created the new local high.
A new local low is marked with a green triangle below the candle if at least one subsequent candle has a high higher than the high of the candle that created the new local low.
Based on the marked local highs and lows, the internal structure trendline is created by simply connecting all highs and lows with a line.
The external structure is drawn in a similar way, but only highs and lows that have broken the previous structure are connected. This helps focus on important pivots and better understand the market structure.
LW StructureThis easy and intuitive tool can be helpful to capture market trends.
This indicator marks the max and the min generated from the price with labels. The green labels are for the max peak and the red label for the min peak. This tool is inspired to the Larry Williams technique to easily catch the trend basing on the decreasing maximums and increasing mininums of the market structure.
Drawing inspiration from the Larry Williams approach, the LW Structure Indicator simplifies the process of recognizing trend patterns through the lens of market structure dynamics .

Brake Of Structure (BOS) By GadatasThis indicator is designed to identify and track swing highs and lows in a given market on any timeframe. It plots these swing highs and lows as solid lines on the chart. The indicator allows for customization of the line color and width and using another timeframe.
The indicator follows specific rules to determine when a new high or low is created. If the current range is considered bullish (meaning the most recent breakout was to the topside), the indicator will only update the low if a candle's body falls below the current low. However, if the current range is bearish (most recent breakout to the downside), the indicator will only update the high if a candle's body rises above the current high.
When a range is identified as bullish, the indicator will continue updating the high until a swing high is formed, denoting the high of the range. The high will only change if a candle's body surpasses the previous high. The low, on the other hand, will be updated based on the last time a candle's body falls below a previous candle's low. The lowest low after this condition is met will be assigned as the low of the range.
Conversely, when a range is identified as bearish, the indicator will continue updating the low until a swing low is formed, denoting the low of the range. The low will only change if a candle's body falls below the previous low. The high, in this case, will be updated based on the last time a candle's body rises above a previous candle's high. The highest high after this condition is met will be assigned as the high of the range.
Swing highs are determined by having lower highs to the left and right, while swing lows have higher lows to the left and right. These swings are used to determine the final high or low of a bullish or bearish range, respectively.
Tis Indicator differs from other indicators by incorporating this concept to track market structure. The indicator assumes that significant market players sell before making heavy purchases in bullish ranges and buy before selling heavily in bearish ranges. The lines on the chart represent prior highs and lows, as well as the current updated highs and lows based on this theory. By using this indicator, one can gain insights into the structure of price movement and potentially identify bullish or bearish continuations. It can also provide confluence when analyzing multiple timeframes to validate trend-following strategies.
SuperTrend Support & Resistance(My goal creating this indicator) : Provide a way to categorize and label key structures on multiple time frames so I can create a plan based on those observable facts.
The Underlying Concept / What is Momentum?
The Momentum shown is derived from a Mathematical Formula, SUPERTREND. When price closes above Supertrend Its bullish Momentum when its below Supertrend its Bearish Momentum. On the first bar bearish momentum is detected a resistance Level is made at the highest point of the previous bullish condition. On the first bar bullish momentum is detected a support Level is made at the lowest point of the previous bearish condition. As I become a better analyst I will find better techniques and this source code may become open-source, but as of now it remains protected. This indicator scans for bullish & bearish Momentum on the Timeframes selected by the user and when there is a shift in momentum on any of those time frames (price closes below or above SUPERTREND ) it notifies the trader with a Supply or Demand level with a unique color and Size to signify the severity of said level.
What is Severity?
Severity is How we differentiate the importance of different Highs and Lows. If Momentum is detected on a higher timeframe the Supply or Demand Level is updated. The Color and Size representing that higher timeframe will be shown. Demand and Supply Levels made by higher Timeframes are more SEVERE then a demand level made by a lower Timeframe.
Technical Inputs
- If you want to optimize the rate of signals to better fit your trading plan you would change the Factor input and ATR Length input. Increase factor and ATR Length to decrease the frequency of signals and decrease the Factor and ATR Length to increase the frequency of signals.
- to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels change BAR_INDEX. BAR_INDEX creates a buffer at the start of the chart. For example: If you set BAR_INDEX to 300. The script will wait for 300 bars to elapse on the current chart before running. This allows the script more time to gather data. Which is needed in order for our dynamic lookback length to never return an error(Dynamic lookback length cant be negative or zero). The lower the timeframe the greater the amount of bars need. For Example if I open up a 30 sec chart I would enter 5000 as my BAR_INDEX since that will provide enough data to ensure the correct calculation of Support and Resistance levels.
Time Frame Inputs
- The indicator has 3 Time Frame Displays where you can choose how SEVERE You want the Supply and Demand Levels. For Example: 1min, 3min, 5min, 15 min Levels, 60 min levels Weekly Levels, etc.....The higher the Timeframe Selected the more SEVERE the Level.
- Use the Amount of time Frames input to increase or limit the amount of time frames that will be displayed onto the chart.
Display Inputs
- The toggle (Trend or Basic) option Lets the trend determine the colors of the Support and Resistance Levels or Basic where the color is strictly based on if its a high or a low ( Trend = HH,HL,LL,LH)
- Toggle options (Close) and (High & Low) creates Support and Resistance Levels using the Lowest close and Highest close or using the Lowest low and Highest high.
Toggle on both or toggle off both in order to use both these values when determining the trend of your chart. For Example this would mean (Price has to close higher then the highest high. Not only make a higher high or a
higher close) and the inverse (Price has to close lower then the lowest low. Not only make a lower low or a lower close)
How Trend Is being Determined ?
(Previous Supply Level > Current Supply Level ) if this statement is true then its s LH so the trend is bearish if this statement is false then its a HH so the trend is bullish
(Previous Demand Level > Current Demand Level ) if this statement is true then its a LL so the trend is bearish if this statement is false then its a HL so the trend is bullish
(Close > Current Supply Level ) if this statement is true technically price made a HH so the trend is bullish
(Close < Current Demand Level ) if this statement is true technically price made a LL so the trend is bearish
- Fully customize how you display and label Market Structure in specific timeframes. Line Length, Line Width, Line Style, Label Distance, Label Size, Label Background Size, and Background Color can all be customized.
- Lastly Is the Trend Chart. To Easily verify the current trend of any timeframes displayed by this indicator toggle on Chart On/Off . You also get the option to change the Chart Position and the size of the Trend Chart
*****The Current charts timeframe has to lower then a month to ensure correct calculation of Supply and Demand Levels*****
How it can be used ?

Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter# Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter: A Powerful Trading Indicator
## Introduction
The **Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter** is an innovative technical indicator that combines two powerful concepts: trend bar analysis and the Okuninushi Line filter. This indicator helps traders identify high-quality trending moves by analyzing candle body strength relative to the overall price range while ensuring the price action aligns with the dominant market structure.
## What Are Trend Bars?
Trend bars are candles where the body (distance between open and close) represents a significant portion of the total price range (high to low). These bars indicate strong directional momentum with minimal indecision, making them valuable signals for trend continuation.
### Key Characteristics:
- **Strong directional movement**: Large body relative to total range
- **Minimal upper/lower shadows**: Shows sustained pressure in one direction
- **High conviction**: Represents decisive market action
## The Okuninushi Line Filter
The Okuninushi Line, also known as the Kijun Line in Ichimoku analysis, is calculated as the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (default: 52 periods).
**Formula**: `(Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2`
This line acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and trend filter, helping to:
- Identify the overall market bias
- Filter out counter-trend signals
- Provide confluence for trade entries
## How the Indicator Works
The indicator combines these two concepts with the following logic:
### Bull Trend Bars (Green)
A candle is colored **green** when ALL conditions are met:
1. **Bullish candle**: Close > Open
2. **Strong body**: |Close - Open| ≥ Threshold × (High - Low)
3. **Above trend filter**: Close > Okuninushi Line
### Bear Trend Bars (Red)
A candle is colored **red** when ALL conditions are met:
1. **Bearish candle**: Close < Open
2. **Strong body**: |Close - Open| ≥ Threshold × (High - Low)
3. **Below trend filter**: Close < Okuninushi Line
### Neutral Bars (Gray)
All other candles that don't meet the complete criteria are colored **gray**.
## Customizable Parameters
### Trend Bar Threshold
- **Range**: 10% to 100%
- **Default**: 75%
- **Purpose**: Controls how "strong" a candle must be to qualify as a trend bar
**Threshold Effects:**
- **Low (10-30%)**: More sensitive, catches smaller trending moves
- **Medium (50-75%)**: Balanced approach, filters out most noise
- **High (80-100%)**: Very selective, only captures the strongest moves
### Okuninushi Line Length
- **Default**: 52 periods
- **Purpose**: Determines the lookback period for calculating the midpoint
- **Common Settings**:
- 26 periods: More responsive to recent price action
- 52 periods: Standard setting, good balance
- 104 periods: Longer-term trend perspective
## Trading Applications
### 1. Trend Continuation Signals
- **Green bars**: Look for bullish continuation opportunities
- **Red bars**: Consider bearish continuation setups
- **Gray bars**: Exercise caution, mixed signals
### 2. Market Structure Analysis
- Clusters of same-colored bars indicate strong trends
- Alternating colors suggest choppy, indecisive markets
- Transition from red to green (or vice versa) may signal trend changes
### 3. Entry Timing
- Use colored bars as confirmation for existing trade setups
- Wait for color alignment with your market bias
- Avoid trading during predominantly gray periods
### 4. Risk Management
- Gray bars can serve as early warning signs of weakening trends
- Color changes might indicate appropriate exit points
- Use in conjunction with other risk management tools
## Advantages
1. **Dual Filtering**: Combines momentum (trend bars) with trend direction (Okuninushi Line)
2. **Visual Clarity**: Immediate visual feedback through candle coloring
3. **Customizable**: Adjustable parameters for different trading styles
4. **Versatile**: Works across multiple timeframes and instruments
5. **Objective**: Rule-based system reduces subjective interpretation
## Limitations
1. **Lagging Nature**: Based on historical price data
2. **False Signals**: Can produce whipsaws in choppy markets
3. **Parameter Sensitivity**: Requires optimization for different instruments
4. **Market Conditions**: May be less effective in ranging markets
## Best Practices
### Optimization Tips:
- **Volatile Markets**: Use higher thresholds (80-90%)
- **Steady Trends**: Use moderate thresholds (60-75%)
- **Short-term Trading**: Shorter Okuninushi Line periods (26)
- **Long-term Analysis**: Longer Okuninushi Line periods (104+)
### Combination Strategies:
- Pair with volume indicators for confirmation
- Use alongside support/resistance levels
- Combine with other trend-following indicators
- Consider market context and overall trend direction
## Conclusion
The Trend Bars with Okuninushi Line Filter offers traders a sophisticated yet intuitive way to identify high-quality trending moves. By combining the momentum characteristics of trend bars with the directional filter of the Okuninushi Line, this indicator helps traders focus on the most promising opportunities while avoiding low-probability setups.
Remember that no single indicator should be used in isolation. Always consider market context, risk management, and other technical factors when making trading decisions. The true power of this indicator lies in its ability to quickly highlight periods of strong, aligned price action – exactly what trend traders are looking for.

cd_RSI_Divergence_CxGeneral:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator widely used by traders in price analysis. In addition to showing overbought/oversold zones, divergences between RSI and price are also tracked to identify trading opportunities.
The general consensus is that oscillators alone are not sufficient for entries and should be evaluated together with multiple confirmations.
This oscillator is designed as an additional confirmation/compatible tool for strategies that already use higher time frame (HTF) sweeps and lower time frame (LTF) confirmations such as Change in State Delivery (CISD) or Change of Character (CHOCH).
Features:
While RSI oscillators are commonly displayed in line format (classic), this indicator also offers candlestick-style visualization.
Depending on the selected source, period length, and EMA length, RSI can be displayed as lines and/or candlesticks.
Divergence detection & tracking:
Price and RSI values are monitored on the chosen higher time frame (from the menu) to determine highs and lows. For divergence display, the user can choose between two modes:
1- Alignment with HTF Sweep
2- All
1 - Alignment with HTF Sweep:
First, the price must sweep the previous high/low of the candle on the HTF (i.e., break it) but fail to continue in that direction and return inside (sweep).
If this condition is met, RSI values are checked:
If price makes a high sweep but RSI fails to make a new high → divergence is confirmed.
If price makes a low sweep but RSI fails to make a new low → divergence is confirmed.
Divergence is then displayed on the chart.
2 - All:
In this mode, sweep conditions are ignored. Divergence is confirmed if:
Price makes a new high on HTF but RSI does not.
RSI makes a new high on HTF but price does not.
Price makes a new low on HTF but RSI does not.
RSI makes a new low on HTF but price does not.
Menu & Settings:
RSI visualization (source + period length + EMA period length)
Option to choose classic/candlestick style display
Color customization
Higher time frame selection
Adjustable HTF boxes and table display
Final notes:
This oscillator is designed as an additional confirmation tool for strategies based on HTF sweep + LTF CISD/CHOCH confirmation logic. The chosen HTF in the oscillator should match the time frame where sweeps are expected.
Divergence signals from this oscillator alone will not make you profitable.
For spot trades, monitoring sweeps and divergences on higher time frames is more suitable (e.g., Daily–H1 / Weekly–H4).
My personal usage preferences:
Entry TF: 3m
HTF bias: Daily + H1
Sweep + CISD: 30m / 3m
Market Structure: 3m
RSI divergence: HTF = 30m
If all of them align bullish or bearish ( timeframe alignment ), I try to take the trade.
I’d be glad to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Happy trading!
SmartPlusSmartPlus
Overview
The SmartPlus indicator is a complete framework for intraday traders. It combines key market reference points (VWAP, moving averages, and the first 15-minute high/low range) with predictive levels based on historical daily moves. Together, these elements allow traders to build directional bias, spot breakouts, and manage risk throughout the session.
Key Features
1. VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)
- Plots the intraday VWAP in real time.
- VWAP acts as a central “fair value” reference point for institutional order flow.
- Price trading above VWAP generally suggests bullish bias, while below VWAP leans bearish.
2. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
- Two configurable EMAs are included:
- Fast EMA (default: 21 periods)
- Slow EMA (default: 34 periods)
- Each EMA is plotted with a single, user-selectable color for clarity.
- Crossovers or alignment between price, VWAP, and EMAs help define market structure.
3. Smart Bar Coloring
- Candles automatically change color when conditions align:
- Bull Zone: Price above VWAP, Fast EMA, and Slow EMA.
- Bear Zone: Price below VWAP, Fast EMA, and Slow EMA.
- Fluorescent bar coloring helps highlight momentum zones visually without additional analysis.
4. First 15-Minute High/Low/Mid (Automatic)
- Automatically detects the first 15 minutes of each new trading day (no manual input required).
- Plots horizontal lines for:
- First 15-Minute High (green)
- First 15-Minute Low (red)
- Midpoint of that range (gray)
- Once the initial 15-minute window ends, these levels remain projected throughout the session as breakout or support/resistance zones.
- Alerts trigger when price breaks above the high or below the low after the window.
5. Daily Support/Resistance Forecast
- Uses a rolling lookback of recent daily ranges (default: 126 days).
- Tracks average up moves and down moves from the daily open.
- Optionally incorporates standard deviation for wider confidence bands.
- Plots forecast levels above/below the current day’s open for reference.
Trading Logic (How to Use)
- Bullish Bias:
- Price is above VWAP, above both EMAs, and ideally above the first 15-minute high.
- This setup suggests trend continuation or breakout opportunities on the long side.
- Bearish Bias:
- Price is below VWAP, below both EMAs, and ideally below the first 15-minute low.
- This setup suggests downward pressure or breakout opportunities on the short side.
- Neutral / Caution Zone:
- Price caught between VWAP, EMAs, or inside the 15-minute range often signals indecision.
- Best to wait for confirmation or breakout before committing to trades.
Expectations After Using It
- The script provides context and structure, not trading signals.
- It highlights where price is relative to meaningful market levels so traders can act with greater confidence.
- Combining VWAP, EMAs, and the 15-minute breakout framework helps traders stay aligned with the market’s natural rhythm.

Harmonic BloomHarmonic Bloom - Advanced Geometric Analysis
Building upon my previous Fibonacci inspired indicator "TrendZone", Harmonic Bloom is a sophisticated geometric trading indicator inspired by W.D. Gann's legendary market geometry principles. It reveals market structure through three key pivot points and dynamic angular analysis, creating powerful harmonic intersections for precision trading.
🎯 Core Features:
📍 Three-Point Gann System:
Set 3 custom pivot points to define your analysis timeframe
Automatic trend detection (bullish/bearish) between pivots
Dynamic geometric box construction following Gann's square principles
📐 Gann-Style 45° Angle Projections:
Pivot 2 Line: Follows trend direction (up if bullish, down if bearish)
Pivot 3 Line: Creates opposition (opposite direction to Pivot 2)
Corner Line: Mirrors Pivot 2 from appropriate box corner
All angles project forward using Gann's 1x1 (45°) methodology for future price targets
⚡ POWER OF HARMONIC INTERSECTIONS:
Confluence Zones: Where multiple 45° angles intersect create the strongest support/resistance
Geometric Harmony: Intersections represent natural market turning points
Time-Price Balance: Following Gann's principle that time and price must be in harmony
Multiple Timeframe Resonance: Intersection points often align across different timeframes
High-Probability Reversals: Markets frequently respect these geometric intersection levels
📊 Customizable Retracement Levels:
8 fully configurable levels (default: 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75)
Choose between 25% or 50% trendline alignment
Individual style controls for each level
🔢 Advanced Gann Analytics:
Fibonacci sequence detection in bar counts (Gann studied natural number sequences)
Numerology sum analysis on pivot prices (Gann's mystical number approach)
Special highlighting for significant numbers
Optional on-chart labels for key metrics
📈 Trading Applications:
✅ Support/Resistance: Use retracement levels for entry/exit points
✅ Gann Angles: 45° lines show momentum direction and strength following Gann's time-price theory
✅ Intersection Trading: Most powerful signals occur at harmonic intersections where multiple angles converge
✅ Price Targets: Forward projections provide future price objectives using Gann's geometric principles
✅ Market Geometry: Identify harmonic patterns and geometric confluences
✅ Time Analysis: Fibonacci-based bar counting for timing decisions (Gann emphasized time cycles)
🌟 Why Harmonic Intersections Are So Powerful:
Gann believed that markets move in geometric harmony, and when multiple angles intersect, they create "magnetic price levels" where:
Maximum Energy Convergence: Multiple geometric forces meet at one point
Natural Turning Points: Markets respect these intersections as natural support/resistance
Time-Price Synchronicity: Intersections often coincide with significant time cycles
Multi-Dimensional Confirmation: Price, time, and geometry align simultaneously
⚙️ Highly Customizable:
All colors, widths, and styles adjustable
Toggle any feature on/off independently
Extend projections beyond the analysis box
Choose your preferred visual presentation
Perfect for traders who use Gann theory, geometric analysis, harmonic patterns, and mathematical market structure. The true power lies in trading the intersection points where multiple harmonic angles converge - these represent the market's most significant geometric turning points.
AI Breakout Bands (Zeiierman)█ Overview
AI Breakout Bands (Zeiierman) is an adaptive trend and breakout detection system that combines Kalman filtering with advanced K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) smoothing. The result is a smart, self-adjusting band structure that adapts to dynamic market behavior, identifying breakout conditions with precision and visual clarity.
At its core, this indicator estimates price behavior using a two-dimensional Kalman filter (position + velocity), then enhances the smoothing process with a nonlinear, similarity-based KNN filter. This unique blend enables it to handle noisy markets and directional shifts with both speed and stability — providing breakout traders and trend followers a reliable framework to act on.
Whether you're identifying volatility expansions, capturing trend continuations, or spotting early breakout conditions, AI Breakout Bands gives you a mathematically grounded, visually adaptive roadmap of real-time market structure.
█ How It Works
⚪ Kalman Filter Engine
The Kalman filter models price movement as a state system with two components:
Position (price)
Velocity (trend direction)
It recursively updates predictions using real-time price as a noisy observation, balancing responsiveness with smoothness.
Process Noise (Position) controls sensitivity to sudden moves.
Process Noise (Velocity) controls smoothing of directional flow.
Measurement Noise (R) defines how much the filter "trusts" live price data.
This component alone creates a responsive yet stable estimate of the market’s center of gravity.
⚪ Advanced K-Neighbor Smoothing
After the Kalman estimate is computed, the script applies a custom K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) smoother.
Rather than averaging raw values, this method:
Finds K most similar past Kalman values
Weighs them by similarity (inverse of absolute distance)
Produces a smoother that emphasizes structural similarity
This nonlinear approach gives the indicator an AI feature — reacting fast when needed, yet staying calm in consolidation.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Recognition
The line color shifts dynamically based on slope direction and breakout confirmation.
Bullish conditions: price above the mid band with positive slope
Bearish conditions: price below the mid band with negative slope
⚪ Breakout Signals
Price breaking above or below the bands may signal momentum acceleration.
Combine with your own volume or momentum confirmation for stronger entries.
Bands adapt to market noise, helping filter out low-quality whipsaws.
█ Settings
Process Noise (Position): Controls Kalman filter’s sensitivity to price changes.
Process Noise (Velocity): Controls smoothing of directional component.
Measurement Noise (R): Defines how much trust is placed in price data.
K-Neighbor Length: Number of historical Kalman values considered for smoothing.
Slope Calculation Window: Number of bars used to compute trend slope of the smoothed Kalman.
Band Lookback (MAE): Rolling period for average absolute error.
Band Multiplier: Multiplies MAE to determine band width.

Golden Ratio Trend Persistence [EWT]Golden Ratio Trend Persistence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview
The Golden Ratio Trend Persistence is a dynamic tool designed to identify the strength and persistence of market trends. It operates on a simple yet powerful premise: a trend is likely to continue as long as it doesn't retrace beyond the key Fibonacci golden ratio of 61.8%.
This indicator automatically identifies the most significant swing high or low and plots a single, dynamic line representing the 61.8% retracement level of the current move. This line acts as a "line in the sand" for the prevailing trend. The background color also changes to provide an immediate visual cue of the current market direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Power of the Golden Ratio (61.8%)
The golden ratio (ϕ≈1.618) and its inverse (0.618, or 61.8%) are fundamental mathematical constants that appear throughout nature, art, and science, often representing harmony and structure. In financial markets, this ratio is a cornerstone of Fibonacci analysis and is considered one of the most critical levels for price retracements.
Market movements are not linear; they progress in waves of impulse and correction. The 61.8% level often acts as the ultimate point of support or resistance. A trend that can hold this level demonstrates underlying strength and is likely to persist. A breach of this level, however, suggests a fundamental shift in market sentiment and a potential reversal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to Use This Indicator
This indicator is designed for clarity and ease of use.
Identifying the Trend : The visual cues make the current trend instantly recognizable.
A teal line with a teal background signifies a bullish trend. The line acts as dynamic support.
A maroon line with a maroon background signifies a bearish trend. The line acts as dynamic resistance.
Confirming Trend Persistence : As long as the price respects the plotted level, the trend is considered intact.
In an uptrend, prices should remain above the teal line. The indicator will automatically adjust its anchor to new, higher lows, causing the support line to trail the price.
In a downtrend, prices should remain below the maroon line.
Spotting Trend Reversals : The primary signal is a trend reversal, which occurs when the price closes decisively beyond the plotted level.
Potential Sell Signal : When the price closes below the teal support line, it indicates that buying pressure has failed, and the uptrend is likely over.
Potential Buy Signal : When the price closes above the maroon resistance line, it indicates that selling pressure has subsided, and a new uptrend may be starting.
Think of this tool as an intelligent, adaptive trailing stop that is based on market structure and the time-tested principles of Fibonacci analysis.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Input Parameters
You can customize the indicator's sensitivity through the following inputs in the settings menu:
Pivot Lookback Left : This number defines how many bars to the left of a candle must be lower (for a pivot high) or higher (for a pivot low) to identify a potential swing point. A higher value will result in fewer, but more significant, pivots being detected.
Pivot Lookback Right : This defines the number of bars that must close to the right before a swing point is confirmed. This parameter prevents the indicator from repainting. A higher value increases confirmation strength but also adds a slight lag.
Fibonacci Ratio : While the default is the golden ratio (0.618), you can adjust this to other key Fibonacci levels, such as 0.5 (50%) or 0.382 (38.2%), to test for different levels of trend persistence.
Adjusting these parameters allows you to fine-tune the indicator for different assets, timeframes, and trading styles, from short-term scalping to long-term trend following.
Hidden Markov ModelOverview
This model uses a Hidden Markov Model to identify and predict market regimes in real-time. It is designed to probabilistically identify market regime changes and predict potential reversal point using a forward algorithm to calculate the probability of a state.
Unlike traditional technical indicators that rely on price patterns or moving averages, this HMM analyses the underlying statistical structure of market movements to detect when the market transitions between different behavioural states such as trending, ranging, or volatile periods
How it works
The HMM assumes that market behavior follows hidden states that aren't directly observable, but can be inferred from observable market data (emissions). The model uses a (somewhat simplified) Bayesian inference to estimate these probabilities.
State 0: (Normal Trading): Market continuation patterns, balanced buying/selling
State 1: (Top Formation): Exhaustion patterns at price highs
State 2: (Bottom Formation): Capitulation patterns at price lows
How to use
1) Identify the trend (you can also use it counter-trend)
2) For longing, look for a green arrow. The probability values should be red. For shorting, look for a red arrow. The probability values should be green
3) For added confluence, look for high probability values of above 25%.
Advantages and what makes it unique
Unlike moving averages or oscillators that react to price changes, the HMM proactively identifies the underlying market structure. This forward-looking approach can signal regime changes before they become apparent in price action, providing traders with an informational edge.

Real-Time Spring DetectorThis is a Pine Script for Trading View that creates a "Real-Time Spring Detector" indicator. This Pine Script is essentially a sophisticated pattern recognition tool that helps identify "spring" setups - a popular trading pattern where price briefly breaks below support but then bounces back strongly, often indicating that sellers are exhausted and buyers are ready to step in.What is a "Spring" in Trading?
A spring is a technical analysis pattern that occurs when:
Price breaks below a support level (like breaking below a floor)
But then quickly bounces back up (like a spring rebounds)
This often signals that sellers are weak and buyers are stepping in
Think of it like testing the strength of a trampoline - you push down, but it springs back up stronger.
What This Script Does
This Pine Script automatically detects spring patterns on your chart and alerts you when they happen. Here's how it works:
Main Components
1. Input Parameters (Settings You Can Adjust)
Lookback Period (10): How many bars back to look for patterns
Min Support Touches (2): How many times price must touch the support level
Min Penetration % (0.1%): How far below support price must break
Min Rejection % (30%): How much price must bounce back up
Alert Settings: Choose when to get notifications
2. Support Level Detection
The script finds "support levels" - price levels where buyers have stepped in before:
It looks at recent low points
Identifies areas where price has bounced multiple times
Uses a small tolerance (0.5%) to account for minor price differences
3. Spring Detection Logic
The script identifies three types of springs:
Real-Time Spring (happening right now):
Price breaks below support by the minimum amount
Price bounces back strongly (rejection %)
Current candle closes higher than it opened (bullish)
Volume is reasonable
Confirmed Spring (already completed):
Same as real-time, but the candle has finished forming
Potential Spring (early warning):
Price is near support but hasn't fully formed the pattern yet
4. Visual Elements
Markers on Chart:
🟢 Green Triangle: Confirmed spring (reliable signal)
🟡 Yellow Triangle: Spring forming right now (live signal)
🟠 Orange Circle: Potential spring (early warning)
Labels:
Show "SPRING" with the rejection percentage
"FORMING" for developing patterns
"?" for potential springs
Support Line:
Red dotted line showing the support level
Background Colors:
Light red when price penetrates support
Light yellow for potential springs
5. Information Box
A table in the top-left corner shows:
Current support level price
Whether penetration is happening
Rejection percentage
Current pattern status
Live price
6. Alert System
Two types of alerts:
Real-time alerts: Notify when spring is forming (current bar)
Confirmed alerts: Notify when spring is complete (bar closed)
Alert cooldown: Prevents spam by waiting 5 bars between alerts
How to Use This Script
1. Installation
Copy the script code
Open TradingView
Go to Pine Editor
Paste the code
Click "Add to Chart"
2. Settings
Adjust the input parameters based on your trading style:
Lower lookback = more sensitive, faster signals
Higher support touches = more reliable but fewer signals
Lower penetration % = catches smaller springs
Higher rejection % = only strong bounces
3. Interpretation
Green triangles: High-confidence buy signals
Yellow triangles: Watch closely, pattern developing
Orange circles: Early warning, not tradeable yet
4. Best Practices
Use on higher timeframes (15min+) for more reliable signals
Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Pay attention to volume - higher volume springs are more reliable
Wait for confirmed signals if you're a conservative trader
Key Features for Small Timeframes
The script includes special detection for shorter timeframes:
Quick bounce detection: Identifies rapid reversals
Hammer pattern recognition: Spots candlestick patterns
Relaxed volume requirements: Works when volume data is limited
Advanced Features
Volume Analysis
Compares current volume to 10-bar average
Requires at least 80% of average volume (flexible for small timeframes)
Pattern Enhancement
Looks for hammer-like candles (long lower wick, small upper wick)
Identifies quick bounces where the upper wick is small
Multiple Confirmation
Combines multiple criteria to reduce false signals
Stronger springs get priority for alerts
Common Use Cases
Entry Signals: Buy when confirmed springs appear
Support Level Identification: Visual support lines help identify key levels
Risk Management: Failed springs (continued breakdown) can be stop-loss triggers
Market Structure: Understanding where buyers are defending price levels
Limitations
Works best in trending or ranging markets May produce false signals in very choppy conditions
small timeframe signals can be noisy should be combined with other analysis methods.The key advantage is that it can catch these patterns as they happen, rather than you having to constantly watch charts. This is especially valuable for active traders who want to capitalize on quick reversals at support levels.
[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

• Slower MAs provide a broader view of trend structure.
• Helps capture multi-week trend shifts and confirm entry points for longer-term trades.
• Weekly ATR bands highlight when stocks are entering overextended conditions.
💡 Example:
Let’s say you’re looking at TSLA on a Weekly Chart using the default settings. You notice that price crosses above the continuation MA (SSL2) while remaining above the baseline (trend power MA). The bar turns green, and price breaks above ATR resistance, signaling a strong bullish continuation. This could be a great opportunity to enter a long-term swing trade or LEAPS options position.
On the flip side, if price reverses below the Exit MA (SSL3) and turns red while breaking the lower ATR band, it might signal a good time to exit longs or enter a short trade.
