Quarterly Theory ICT 03 [TradingFinder] Precision Swing Points🔵 Introduction
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a divergence pattern in the closing of candles between two correlated assets, which can indicate a potential trend reversal. This structure appears at market turning points and highlights discrepancies between the price behavior of two related assets.
PSP typically forms in key timeframes such as 5-minute, 15-minute, and 90-minute charts, and is often used in combination with Smart Money Concepts (SMT) to confirm trade entries.
PSP is categorized into Bearish PSP and Bullish PSP :
Bearish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous high, and its middle candle closes bullish, while the correlated asset closes bearish at the same level. This divergence signals weakness in the uptrend and a potential price reversal downward.
Bullish PSP : Occurs when an asset breaks its previous low, and its middle candle closes bearish, while the correlated asset closes bullish at the same level. This suggests weakness in the downtrend and a potential price increase.
🟣 Trading Strategies Using Precision Swing Point (PSP)
PSP can be integrated into various trading strategies to improve entry accuracy and filter out false signals. One common method is combining PSP with SMT (divergence between correlated assets), where traders identify divergence and enter a trade only after PSP confirms the move.
Additionally, PSP can act as a liquidity gap, meaning that price tends to react to the wick of the PSP candle, making it a favorable entry point with a tight stop-loss and high risk-to-reward ratio. Furthermore, PSP combined with Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps in higher timeframes allows traders to identify stronger reversal zones.
In lower timeframes, such as 5-minute or 15-minute charts, PSP can serve as a confirmation for more precise entries in the direction of the higher timeframe trend. This is particularly useful in scalping and intraday trading, helping traders execute smarter entries while minimizing unnecessary stop-outs.
🔵 How to Use
PSP is a trading pattern based on divergence in candle closures between two correlated assets. This divergence signals a difference in trend strength and can be used to identify precise market turning points. PSP is divided into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each applicable for long and short trades.
🟣 Bullish PSP
A Bullish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bearish while the correlated asset closes bullish. This discrepancy indicates weakness in the downtrend and a potential price reversal upward.
Traders can use this as a signal for long (buy) trades. The best approach is to wait for price to return to the wick of the PSP candle, as this area typically acts as a liquidity level.
f PSP forms within an Order Block or Fair Value Gap in a higher timeframe, its reliability increases, allowing for entries with tight stop-loss and optimal risk-to-reward ratios.
🟣 Bearish PSP
A Bearish PSP forms when, at a market turning point, the middle candle of one asset closes bullish while the correlated asset closes bearish. This indicates weakness in the uptrend and a potential price decline.
Traders use this pattern to enter short (sell) trades. The best entry occurs when price retests the wick of the PSP candle, as this level often acts as a resistance zone, pushing price lower.
If PSP aligns with a significant liquidity area or Order Block in a higher timeframe, traders can enter with greater confidence and place their stop-loss just above the PSP wick.
Overall, PSP is a highly effective tool for filtering false signals and improving trade entry precision. Combining PSP with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps across multiple timeframes allows traders to execute higher-accuracy trades with lower risk.
🔵 Settings
Mode :
2 Symbol : Identifies PSP and PCP between two correlated assets.
3 Symbol : Compares three assets to detect more complex divergences and stronger confirmation signals.
Second Symbol : The second asset used in PSP and correlation calculations.
Third Symbol : Used in three-symbol mode for deeper PSP and PCP analysis.
Filter Precision X Point : Enables or disables filtering for more precise PSP and PCP detection. This filter only identifies PSP and PCP when the base asset's candle qualifies as a Pin Bar.
Trend Effect : By changing the Trend Effect status to "Off," all Pin bars, whether bullish or bearish, are displayed regardless of the current market trend. If the status remains "On," only Pin bars in the direction of the main market trend are shown.
Bullish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Lower Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Lower Shadow to Higher Shadow" settings, you can customize your bullish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bullish Pin bars.
Bearish Pin Bar Setting : Using the "Ratio Higher Shadow to Body" and "Ratio Higher Shadow to Lower Shadow" settings, you can customize your bearish Pin bar candles. Larger numbers impose stricter conditions for identifying bearish Pin bars.
🔵 Conclusion
Precision Swing Point (PSP) is a powerful analytical tool in Smart Money trading strategies, helping traders identify precise market turning points by detecting divergences in candle closures between correlated assets. PSP is classified into Bullish PSP and Bearish PSP, each playing a crucial role in detecting trend weaknesses and determining optimal entry points for long and short trades.
Using the PSP wick as a key liquidity level, integrating it with SMT, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps, and analyzing higher timeframes are effective techniques to enhance trade entries. Ultimately, PSP serves as a complementary tool for improving entry accuracy and reducing unnecessary stop-outs, making it a valuable addition to Smart Money trading methodologies.
Search in scripts for "order block"
Smart Money Concepts (Advanced)Inspired and initially based on LuxAlgo's Smart Money Concepts Indicator I created a library lib_smc that started to convert every function and return objects. This allowed certain customizations like tracking the current fill level of FVGs or tracking the creation of Order Blocks, by monitoring consecutive bars against the current trend.
This indicator is provided as is, based on, but probably not always be up to date with my lib_smc that I am using for my projects.
WARNING: This indicator shows EXPERIMENTAL Order Blocks that are tracked LIVE. Unlike usual Order Blocks these are not just based on the last confirmed Swing Point (formed 50 bars before) but on consecutive candles opposing an unconfirmed trend. Blocks are confirmed by price movements relative to the unconfirmed block and unconfirmed swing points. This means that some Order Blocks will appear on pullbacks, as well as reversals.
Features
Swing Points (HH / LH / HL / LL), indicating support / resistance zones price might reject off of or want to push through
Market Structure (BOS / ChoCh), indicates confirmation for a continued / changing trend
live Order Blocks (OB), see warning above.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG), optional from higher timeframes
Equal Highs / Lows (EQH/EQL), indicates strong support / resistance zones, especially when the bars forming it have long wicks toward that zone
using my lib_no_delay all moving averages are working from bar 0, so it can be used on charts with limited bars
SMC StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is based on Smart Money Concepts (SMC), designed for TradingView. Here's a brief summary of what the script does:
1. Swing High and Low Calculation: It identifies recent swing highs and lows, which are used to define key zones.
2. Equilibrium, Premium, and Discount Zones:
- Equilibrium is the midpoint between the swing high and low.
- Premium Zone is above the equilibrium, indicating a potential resistance area (sell zone).
- Discount Zone is below the equilibrium, indicating a potential support area (buy zone).
3. Simple Moving Average (SMA): It uses a 50-period SMA to determine the trend direction. If the price is above the SMA, the trend is bullish; if it's below, the trend is bearish.
4. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy Signal: Generated when the price is in the discount zone and above the equilibrium, with the price also above the SMA.
- Sell Signal: Triggered when the price is in the premium zone and below the equilibrium, with the price also below the SMA.
5. Order Blocks: It detects basic order blocks by identifying the highest high and lowest low within the last 20 bars. These levels help confirm the buy and sell signals.
6. Liquidity Zones: It marks the swing high and low as potential liquidity zones, indicating where price may reverse due to institutional players' activity.
The strategy then executes trades based on these signals, plotting buy and sell markers on the chart and showing the key levels (zones) and trend direction.
Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator, an advanced tool designed to enhance trading strategies by identifying potential trend reversals through volume dynamics. This script features integrated order block detection, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and a dynamic take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) system. For an in-depth understanding of the strategy, refer to the "HOW DOES IT WORK?" section below.
Features of the new Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator :
Cumulative Volume Delta-based Strategy
Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) Entry Methods
Dynamic TP/SL System
Customizable Risk Management Settings
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP, and SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The CVDS indicator operates by tracking the net volume difference between buyers and sellers to identify divergences that could indicate potential trend reversals. A cumulative volume delta (CVD) calculation is employed to measure the intensity of these divergences in relation to price movements. The net volume sum is reset every trading day (can be changed from the settings using the anchor period option), and divergences are detected when the cumulative volume crosses the 0-line over or under.
Once a significant divergence is detected, the indicator identifies breakout points, confirmed by either Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). Depending on your chosen entry mode, the indicator will trigger a buy or sell entry when the confirmation signal aligns with the breakout direction. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Profit, and Stop-Loss are available.
Note that the indicator cannot run on 1-minute and 1-second charts, as it needs to get data from a lower timeframe. 1-minutes & 1-second timeframes are the minimum timeframes in their ranges respectively.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What sets this indicator apart is the combination of volume divergence analysis with advanced price action tools like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). The ability to choose between these methods, along with a dynamic TP/SL system that adapts based on volatility, provides flexibility for traders in any market condition. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current ticker. The CVD-based strategy ensures that trades are initiated only when meaningful divergences between volume and price occur, filtering out noise and increasing the likelihood of profitable trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Anchor Period: Time anchor period used in CVD calculation. This is essentially the period that the volume delta sum will be reset. Lower timeframes may result in more entries at the cost of less reliable results.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs or OBs to trigger your entries based on the confirmation signals.
Retracement Requirement: Enable to confirm the entry after a retracement toward the FVG or OB.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity of FVG detection, allowing for more or fewer gaps to be considered valid.
3. Order Blocks (OB)
Swing Length: Define the swing length to identify OB formations. Shorter lengths find smaller OBs, while longer lengths detect larger structures.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

Svl - Trading SystemPrice can tell lies but volume cannot, so keeping this in mind I have created this indicator in which you see sell order block and buy order block on the basis of price action + volume through which we execute our trade
First of all, let us know its core concepts and logic, which will help you in taking the right decisions in it.
core concept of the " Svl - Trading System " TradingView indicator is based on professional price action, volume, and swing structure. This indicator smartly gives real-time insights of important price turning points, reversal zones, and trend continuation. Its deep explanation is given below.
Edit - default swing length -5 , change according your nature , tested With 7 For 5 minute timeframe
Core Concept:
1. Swing Structure Detection
The indicator automatically detects swing highs (HH/LH) and swing lows (HL/LL) on the chart.
HH: Higher High
HL: Higher Low
LH: Lower High
LL: Lower Low
These swings are the backbone of price action – signaling a change in trend, a bounce, reversal or trend continuation.
2. Order Block (OB) Mapping
Buy Order Block (Buy OB): When the indicator detects the HL/LL swing, we declare Buy OB, the lowest point of the swing.
Sell Order Block (Sell OB): On HH/LH swing, the highest point of our swing is called Sell OB.
Order Blocks are those important zones of price where historically price has reacted strongly – where major clusters of buyers/sellers are located in the market.
3. Volume Analysis (Optional Dashboard/Barcolor)
The candle color depends on the volume ranking on the chart (most high/low, normal, pressure blue shade).
Highest/lowest volume candles are a special highlight, which helps to spot liquidity spikes, exhaustion, or big orders.
4. Live Dashboard
There is an automated dashboard in the top-right of the chart, which shows this in real-time:
Last swing type (HH/HL/LH/LL)
Reversal price (last swing level)
Swing direction (Bull/Bear/Neutral)
Volume, Buy OB, Sell OB, etc.
This helps the trader understand the market situation at a glance.
5. Smart Plotting/Labels
Buy/Sell are plotted as distinct lines on the OB chart.
The Labels option gives clear visual swing points.
All calculations are fast and automated – the user does not need to mark manually.
This indicator is an advanced, fully-automated price action tool that combines
trend, reversal, volume, liquidity and zone detection in one smart system,
makes entry/exit decisions objective and error-free,
and provides complete trading confidence with a live monitor/dashboard.
All of its functions/properties such as: swing detect, OB plot, volume color, dashboard follow best practice for professional chart analysis!
Smart MTF S/R Levels[BullByte]
Smart MTF S/R Levels
Introduction & Motivation
Support and Resistance (S/R) levels are the backbone of technical analysis. However, most traders face two major challenges:
Manual S/R Marking: Drawing S/R levels by hand is time-consuming, subjective, and often inconsistent.
Multi-Timeframe Blind Spots: Key S/R levels from higher or lower timeframes are often missed, leading to surprise reversals or missed opportunities.
Smart MTF S/R Levels was created to solve these problems. It is a fully automated, multi-timeframe, multi-method S/R detection and visualization tool, designed to give traders a complete, objective, and actionable view of the market’s most important price zones.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Simultaneously analyzes up to three user-selected timeframes, ensuring you never miss a critical S/R level from any timeframe.
Multi-Method Confluence: Integrates several respected S/R detection methods—Swings, Pivots, Fibonacci, Order Blocks, and Volume Profile—into a single, unified system.
Zone Clustering: Automatically merges nearby levels into “zones” to reduce clutter and highlight areas of true market consensus.
Confluence Scoring: Each zone is scored by the number of methods and timeframes in agreement, helping you instantly spot the most significant S/R areas.
Reaction Counting: Tracks how many times price has recently interacted with each zone, providing a real-world measure of its importance.
Customizable Dashboard: A real-time, on-chart table summarizes all key S/R zones, their origins, confluence, and proximity to price.
Smart Alerts: Get notified when price approaches high-confluence zones, so you never miss a critical trading opportunity.
Why Should a Trader Use This?
Objectivity: Removes subjectivity from S/R analysis by using algorithmic detection and clustering.
Efficiency: Saves hours of manual charting and reduces analysis fatigue.
Comprehensiveness: Ensures you are always aware of the most relevant S/R zones, regardless of your trading timeframe.
Actionability: The dashboard and alerts make it easy to act on the most important levels, improving trade timing and risk management.
Adaptability: Works for all asset classes (stocks, forex, crypto, futures) and all trading styles (scalping, swing, position).
The Gap This Indicator Fills
Most S/R indicators focus on a single method or timeframe, leading to incomplete analysis. Manual S/R marking is error-prone and inconsistent. This indicator fills the gap by:
Automating S/R detection across multiple timeframes and methods
Objectively scoring and ranking zones by confluence and reaction
Presenting all this information in a clear, actionable dashboard
How Does It Work? (Technical Logic)
1. Level Detection
For each selected timeframe, the script detects S/R levels using:
SW (Swing High/Low): Recent price pivots where reversals occurred.
Pivot: Classic floor trader pivots (P, S1, R1).
Fib (Fibonacci): Key retracement levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786) over the last 50 bars.
Bull OB / Bear OB: Institutional price zones based on bullish/bearish engulfing patterns.
VWAP / POC: Volume Weighted Average Price and Point of Control over the last 50 bars.
2. Level Clustering
Levels within a user-defined % distance are merged into a single “zone.”
Each zone records which methods and timeframes contributed to it.
3. Confluence & Reaction Scoring
Confluence: The number of unique methods/timeframes in agreement for a zone.
Reactions: The number of times price has touched or reversed at the zone in the recent past (user-defined lookback).
4. Filtering & Sorting
Only zones within a user-defined % of the current price are shown (to focus on actionable areas).
Zones can be sorted by confluence, reaction count, or proximity to price.
5. Visualization
Zones: Shaded boxes on the chart (green for support, red for resistance, blue for mixed).
Lines: Mark the exact level of each zone.
Labels: Show level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Lists all nearby zones with full details.
6. Alerts
Optional alerts trigger when price approaches a zone with confluence above a user-set threshold.
Inputs & Customization (Explained for All Users)
Show Timeframe 1/2/3: Enable/disable analysis for each timeframe (e.g., 15m, 30m, 1h).
Show Swings/Pivots/Fibonacci/Order Blocks/Volume Profile: Select which S/R methods to include.
Show levels within X% of price: Only display zones near the current price (default: 3%).
How many swing highs/lows to show: Number of recent swings to include (default: 3).
Cluster levels within X%: Merge levels close together into a single zone (default: 0.25%).

Labels: Show the level, methods by timeframe (e.g., 15m (3 SW), 30m (1 VWAP)), and (if applicable) Fibonacci ratios.
Dashboard Table: Columns include:
Level: Price of the zone
Methods (by TF): Which S/R methods and how many, per timeframe (see abbreviation key below)
Type: Support, Resistance, or Mixed
Confl.: Confluence score (higher = more significant)
React.: Number of recent price reactions
Dist %: Distance from current price (in %)
Abbreviations Used
SW = Swing High/Low (recent price pivots where reversals occurred)
Fib = Fibonacci Level (key retracement levels such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786)
VWAP = Volume Weighted Average Price (price level weighted by volume)
POC = Point of Control (price level with the highest traded volume)
Bull OB = Bullish Order Block (institutional support zone from bullish price action)
Bear OB = Bearish Order Block (institutional resistance zone from bearish price action)
Pivot = Pivot Point (classic floor trader pivots: P, S1, R1)
These abbreviations appear in the dashboard and chart labels for clarity.
Example: How to Read the Dashboard and Labels (from the chart above)
Suppose you are trading BTCUSDT on a 15-minute chart. The dashboard at the top right shows several S/R zones, each with a breakdown of which timeframes and methods contributed to their detection:
Resistance zone at 119257.11:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW), 15m (2 SW), 1h (3 SW)
This means the level 119257.11 was identified as a resistance zone by one swing high (SW) on the 5-minute timeframe, two swing highs on the 15-minute timeframe, and three swing highs on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 6 (total number of method/timeframe hits), and there has been 1 recent price reaction at this level. This suggests 119257.11 is a strong resistance zone, confirmed by multiple swing highs across all selected timeframes.
Mixed zone at 118767.97:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 15m (2 SW)
This means the level 118767.97 was identified by two swing points on both the 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 19 recent price reactions at this level, indicating it is a highly reactive zone.
Support zone at 117411.35:
The dashboard shows:
5m (2 SW), 1h (2 SW)
This means the level 117411.35 was identified as a support zone by two swing lows on the 5-minute timeframe and two swing lows on the 1-hour timeframe. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 2 recent price reactions at this level.
Mixed zone at 118291.45:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW, 1 VWAP), 5m (1 VWAP), 1h (1 VWAP)
This means the level 118291.45 was identified by a swing and VWAP on the 15-minute timeframe, and by VWAP on both the 5-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 4, and there have been 12 recent price reactions at this level.
Support zone at 117103.10:
The dashboard shows:
15m (1 SW), 1h (1 SW)
This means the level 117103.10 was identified by a single swing low on both the 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes. The confluence score is 2, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
Resistance zone at 117899.33:
The dashboard shows:
5m (1 SW)
This means the level 117899.33 was identified by a single swing high on the 5-minute timeframe. The confluence score is 1, and there have been no recent price reactions at this level.
How to use this:
Zones with higher confluence (more methods and timeframes in agreement) and more recent reactions are generally more significant. For example, the resistance at 119257.11 is much stronger than the resistance at 117899.33, and the mixed zone at 118767.97 has shown the most recent price reactions, making it a key area to watch for potential reversals or breakouts.
Tip:
“SW” stands for Swing High/Low, and “VWAP” stands for Volume Weighted Average Price.
The format 15m (2 SW) means two swing points were detected on the 15-minute timeframe.

Scalping (1m) fibLookback = 10–20, obLookback = 3–5, htf_tf = 15m/1H Remove Breaker and MTF for quick reaction trades.
🧠 Best Practices for Traders
Trend Filtering:
Use EMAs or volume to confirm the current trend.
Take longs only in uptrends, shorts in downtrends.
Liquidity Zones:
Use this indicator after liquidity grabs.
OBs and Breakers often appear right after stop hunts.
Combine with Manual Zones:
This works best when paired with manually drawn OBs and key levels.
Backtest the Signals:
Use Bar Replay mode on TradingView to test past signals.
🧪 Example Trade Setup
Example on BTCUSDT 15m:
Price drops into the discount zone.
A green triangle appears (bullish engulfing + OB + imbalance + HTF OB).
You enter long, stop below the OB, target the premium zone.
🎯 This type of setup often gives a risk/reward ratio of 1:2 or better — profitable even with a 40% win rate.
⏰ Alerts & Automation

ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBsICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + Order Blocks + Fibonacci OTE Levels
A High-Probability Entry Engine for Smart Money Concept Traders
This script combines three powerful Smart Money Concepts (SMC) into a single tool: Liquidity Grabs, Order Block Zones, and Fibonacci OTE Levels, allowing traders to identify institutional entry models with clean, rule-based visual signals.
It’s designed to simplify SMC trading by highlighting confluence zones where price is likely to reverse or continue — with clear visual zones, entry arrows, and take profit projections.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Grabs
Identifies when price sweeps above/below the highest high or lowest low within a user-defined lookback period and closes back inside.
Plots orange labels on the chart to signal potential liquidity events (LG-H / LG-L).
Plots Order Blocks After Liquidity Grabs
After a liquidity grab, the script looks for displacement candles (strong bullish or bearish moves) and draws highlighted OB zones extending several bars to the right.
These zones represent potential institutional footprints for price reversals.
Draws Fibonacci OTE Levels (Optimal Trade Entry)
Uses recent swing high and low pivots to automatically calculate OTE zones (default: 62% and 75% retracement levels).
Draws these retracement zones for both bullish and bearish setups.
Marks Valid OTE Entry Zones
Buy/Sell zones only trigger when:
A liquidity grab occurs,
Price enters the OTE zone,
And a strong confirming candle is present.
Plots green/red arrows for valid buy/sell OTE entries.
Auto-Draws Take Profit Zones
TP1 = Previous swing high/low
TP2 = Risk-based R-multiplied extension (e.g., 1.5R — customizable)
Alerts
Triggers alerts when valid buy or sell OTE setups are detected.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Toggle each feature: Liquidity Grabs, Order Blocks, Fibonacci OTE levels
Set Fibonacci retracement percentages (e.g., 0.62 / 0.75)
Adjust lookback window for liquidity detection
Customize the take-profit multiplier (R-based)
Full control over visuals: colors, labels, and lines
💡 How to Use:
Use this script to scan for high-confluence trade setups based on Smart Money principles.
Combine with session timing (e.g., New York open), major swing structure, or Kill Zone windows for maximum edge.
Look for arrows inside OB zones or OTE levels following liquidity sweeps for cleaner entries.

SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality
1. Key Levels (Support and Resistance)
This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.

The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.
Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) ICT [TradingFinder] Hidden FVG OTE🔵 Introduction
The Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) is distinctive due to its unique three-candlestick formation, which differentiates it from conventional Fair Value Gaps.
Implied fair value represents an estimated worth of an asset—often a business or its goodwill—based on the price likely to be received in a structured transaction between market participants at a specific point in time.
In the ever-evolving world of technical analysis, pinpointing price reversal points and market anomalies can significantly enhance trading strategies and decision-making for traders and investors. Among the advanced concepts gaining traction in this field is the Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG), introduced by the renowned analyst Inner Circle Trader (ICT).
This tool has proven to be an effective method for identifying hidden supply and demand zones in financial markets, offering a unique edge to traders looking for high-probability setups.
Unlike traditional gaps that are visible on price charts, IFVG is a hidden gap that doesn’t appear explicitly on the chart and thus requires specialized technical analysis tools for accurate identification.
This hidden gap can signal potential price reversals and offers traders insight into high-liquidity areas where price is likely to react. This article will guide you through using the ICT Implied Fair Value Gap Indicator effectively, covering its settings, usage strategies, and key features to help you make informed decisions in the market.
🟣 Bullish Implied FVG
🟣 Bearish Implied FVG
🔵 How to Use
The IFVG indicator is designed to assist traders in recognizing hidden support and resistance zones by identifying Bullish and Bearish IFVG patterns. With this tool, traders can make better-informed decisions about suitable entry and exit points for their trades based on these patterns.
🟣 Bullish Implied Fair Value Gap
This pattern occurs in an uptrend when a large bullish candlestick forms, with the wicks of the previous and following candles overlapping the body of the central candlestick.
This overlap creates a demand zone or a hidden support level, which can act as an ideal entry point for buy trades. Often, when the price returns to this area, it is likely to resume its upward trend, presenting a profitable buying opportunity.
🟣 Bearish Implied Fair Value Gap
This pattern is similar but forms in downtrends. Here, a large bearish candlestick appears on the chart, with the wicks of adjacent candles overlapping its body. This overlap defines a supply zone or a hidden resistance level and serves as a signal for potential sell trades.
When the price returns to this zone, it often continues its downward trend, providing an optimal point for entering sell trades.
The IFVG indicator also includes various filters that traders can use to refine their analysis based on market conditions. These filters, including Very Aggressive, Aggressive, Defensive, and Very Defensive, allow users to customize the IFVG zones' width, offering flexibility according to the trader’s risk tolerance and trading style.
🟣 Example Trading Scenarios
Suppose you’re in a strong uptrend and the IFVG indicator identifies a Bullish IFVG zone. In this scenario, you could consider entering a buy trade when the price retraces to this zone, expecting the uptrend to resume. Conversely, in a downtrend, a Bearish IFVG zone can signal a favorable entry point for short trades when the price revisits this area.
🔵 Settings
Implied Block Validity Period: This parameter specifies the validity period of each identified block, taking into account the number of bars that have passed since its formation. Proper adjustment of this period helps traders focus only on relevant zones, increasing the accuracy of the analysis.
Mitigation Level OB : This option defines the mitigation level for supply and demand blocks (Order Blocks), with settings including Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
Depending on the selected level, the indicator will focus on closer, mid-range, or farther points for block identification, allowing traders to adjust for the level of precision required.
Implied Filter : Activating this filter allows traders to apply conditions based on the width of the IFVG zones. With options like Very Aggressive and Very Defensive, traders can control the width of IFVG zones to suit their risk management strategy—whether they prefer high-risk setups or low-risk setups.
Display and Color Settings : This section enables users to customize the appearance of the IFVG zones on their charts. Traders can set different colors for Bullish and Bearish zones, allowing for easier distinction and improved visualization.
Alert Settings : One of the standout features of the IFVG indicator is the alert system. By setting up alerts, users can be notified whenever the price approaches a demand or supply zone.
Alerts can be customized to trigger Once Per Bar (one alert per bar) or Per Bar Close (alert at the close of each bar), ensuring that traders stay updated on critical price movements without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
🔵 Conclusion
The ICT Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful and sophisticated tool in technical analysis, allowing professional traders to identify hidden supply and demand zones and use them as entry and exit points for buy and sell trades.
This indicator’s automatic detection of IFVG zones helps traders uncover hidden trading opportunities that can enhance their analysis.
While the IFVG indicator offers numerous advantages, it is important to use it in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and sound risk management practices.
IFVG alone does not guarantee profitability in trading; it works best when combined with other indicators such as volume analysis and trend-following indicators for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Fair Value Gaps Setup 01 [TradingFinder] FVG Absorption + CHoCH🔵 Introduction
🟣 Market Structures
Market structures exhibit a fractal and nested nature, which leads us to classify them into internal (minor) and external (major) categories. Definitions of market structure vary, with different methodologies such as Smart Money and ICT offering distinct interpretations.
To identify market structure, the initial step involves examining key highs and lows. An uptrend is characterized by successive highs and lows that are higher than their predecessors. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by successive lows and highs that are lower than their previous counterparts.
🟣 Market Trends and Movements
Market trends consist of two primary types of movements :
Impulsive Movements : These movements align with the main trend and are characterized by high strength and momentum.
Corrective Movements : These movements counter the main trend and are marked by lower strength and momentum.
🟣 Break of Structure (BOS)
In a downtrend, a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when the price falls below the previous low and establishes a new low (LL). In an uptrend, a BOS, also known as a Market Structure Break (MSB), happens when the price rises above the last high.
To confirm a trend, at least one BOS is necessary, which requires the price to close at least one candle beyond the previous high or low.
🟣 Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a crucial concept in market structure analysis, indicating a shift in trend. A trend concludes with a CHOCH, also referred to as a Market Structure Shift (MSS).
For example, in a downtrend, the price continues to drop with BOS, showcasing the trend's strength. However, when the price rises and exceeds the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a potential transition from a downtrend to an uptrend.
It is essential to note that a CHOCH does not immediately indicate a buy trade. Instead, it is prudent to wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, a CHOCH confirmation does not require a candle to close; merely breaking the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient.
🟣 Spike | Inefficiency | Imbalance
All these terms mean fast price movement in the shortest possible time.
🟣 Fair Value Gap (FVG)
To pinpoint the "Fair Value Gap" (FVG) on a chart, a detailed candle-by-candle analysis is necessary. This process involves focusing on candles with substantial bodies and evaluating them in relation to the candles immediately before and after them.
Here are the steps :
Identify the Central Candle : Look for a candle with a large body.
Examine Adjacent Candles : The candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows, and their bodies must not overlap with the body of the central candle.
Determine the FVG Range : The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles defines the FVG range.
This method helps in accurately identifying the Fair Value Gap, which is crucial for understanding market inefficiencies and potential price movements.
🟣 Setup
This setup is based on Market Structure and FVG. After a change of character and the formation of FVG in the last lag of the price movement, we are looking for trading positions in the price pullback.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
After forming the setup, you can enter the trade using a pending order or after receiving confirmation. To increase the probability of success, you can adjust the pivot period market structure settings or modify the market movement coefficient in the formation leg of the FVG.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period of Market Structure Detector :
This parameter allows you to configure the zigzag period based on pivots. Adjusting this helps in accurately detecting order blocks.
Show major Bullish ChoCh Lines :
You can toggle the visibility of the Demand Main Zone and "ChoCh" Origin, and customize their color as needed.
Show major Bearish ChoCh Lines :
Similar to the Demand Main Zone, you can control the visibility and color of the Supply Main Zone and "ChoCh" Origin.
FVG Detector Multiplier Factor :
This feature lets you adjust the size of the moves forming the Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the Average True Range (ATR). The default value is 1, suitable for identifying most setups. Adjust this value based on the specific symbol and market for optimal results.
FVG Validity Period :
This parameter defines the validity period of an FVG in terms of the number of candles. By default, an FVG remains valid for up to 15 candles, but you can adjust this period as needed.
Mitigation Level FVG :
This setting establishes the basic level of an FVG. When the price reaches this level, the FVG is considered mitigated.
Level in Low-Risk Zone :
This feature aims to reduce risk by dividing the FVG into two equal areas: "Premium" (upper area) and "Discount" (lower area). For lower risk, ensure that "Demand FVG" is in the "Discount" area and "Supply FVG" in the "Premium" area. This feature is off by default.
Show or Hide :
Given the potential abundance of setups, displaying all on the chart can be overwhelming. By default, only the last setup is shown, but you can enable the option to view all setups.
Alert Settings :
On / Off : Toggle alerts on or off.
Message Frequency : Determine how often alerts are triggered.
Options include :
"All" (alerts every time the function is called)
"Once Per Bar" (alerts only on the first call within the bar)
"Once Per Bar Close" (alerts only at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing)
The default setting is "Once Per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Set the alert time based on your preferred time zone, such as "UTC-4" for New York time. The default is "UTC".
Display More Info : Optionally show additional details like the price range of the order blocks and the date, hour, and minute in the alert message. Set this to "Off" if you prefer not to receive this information.
Trading Macro Windows by BW v2
Trading Macros by BW: Integrating ICT Concepts for Session Analysis
This indicator combines two key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts—Change in State of Delivery (CISD) or Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) signals with Macro Time Windows—to provide a unified tool for analyzing intraday price action, particularly during Pacific Time (PT) sessions. Rather than simply merging existing scripts, this integration creates a cohesive visual framework that highlights how macro consolidation periods interact with potential reversal or continuation signals like CISD or IFVG. By overlaying macro candle styling and borders on the chart alongside selectable signal lines, traders can better contextualize setups within ICT's macro narrative, where price often manipulates liquidity during these windows before displacing toward higher-timeframe objectives.
Core Components and How They Work Together:
Macro Time Windows (Inspired by ICT's Macro Periods):
ICT emphasizes "macro" as 30-minute windows (e.g., 06:45–07:15 PT, 07:45–08:15 PT, up to 11:45–12:15 PT) where price tends to consolidate, sweep liquidity, or form key structures like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These periods set the stage for the session's directional bias.
The indicator styles candles within these windows using a user-defined color for wicks, borders, and bodies (translucent for visibility). This visual emphasis helps traders focus on activity inside macros, where reversals or continuations often originate.
Borders are drawn as vertical lines at the start and end of each window (with a +5 minute buffer to capture related activity), using a dotted style by default. This creates a "study zone" that encapsulates macro events, allowing traders to assess if price is respecting or violating these zones in alignment with broader ICT models like the Power of 3 (AMD cycle).
Toggle: "Macro Candles Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to disable styling and borders if focusing solely on signals.
CISD or IFVG Signals (Selectable Mode):
Mode Selection: Choose between "Change in the State of Delivery" (CISD) or "IFVG" (default: IFVG). Both detect shifts in market delivery during specific 30-minute slices (15–45 or 17–45 minutes past the hour in PT sessions).
CISD Mode: Based on ICT's definition of a sudden directional shift, this identifies aggressive displacements after sweeping recent highs/lows. It uses a rolling reference high/low over 6 bars, checks for sweeps (penetrating by at least 2 ticks in the last 2-3 bars), reclamation (closing beyond the reference with at least 50% body), and displacement (50% of prior range or an immediate FVG of 6+ ticks). Signals plot a horizontal line from the close, extending 24 bars right, labeled "CISD."
IFVG Mode: Focuses on Inverted Fair Value Gaps, where a bullish FVG (low > high by 13+ ticks) forms but is inverted (closed below) in the same slice, signaling bearish intent (or vice versa). This targets violations against opposing liquidity, often leading to raids on external ranges. Signals plot similarly, labeled "IFVG."
Shared Logic: Both modes enforce a 55-bar cooldown to prevent clustering, operate only during PT sessions (06:30–13:00), and use tick-based thresholds for precision across instruments. The integration with macros allows traders to see if signals occur within or at the edges of macro windows, enhancing confirmation—for example, a CISD inside a macro might indicate a manipulated reversal toward the session's true objective.
Toggle: "Signals Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to hide all signal lines and labels, isolating the macro visualization.
How Components Interact:
Macro windows provide the "narrative context" (consolidation/manipulation), while CISD/IFVG signals detect the "delivery shift" (displacement). Together, they form a mashup that justifies publication: isolated signals can be noisy, but when filtered by macro periods, they align with ICT's session model. For instance, an IFVG inversion during a macro might confirm a liquidity sweep before targeting PD arrays or order blocks.
No external dependencies; all calculations are self-contained using Pine's built-in functions like ta.highest/lowest for references and time-based sessions for windows.
Usage Guidelines:
Apply to intraday charts (e.g., 1-5 min) or stocks during PT hours.
Look for confluence: A bull IFVG signal post-macro low sweep might target the next macro high or daily bias.
Customize colors/styles for signals (solid/dashed/dotted lines) and macros to suit your chart.
Backtest in replay mode to observe how macros frame signals—e.g., price often respects macro borders as S/R.
Limitations: Timezone-fixed to PT (America/Los_Angeles); signals are directional hints, not trade entries. Combine with ICT tools like order blocks or liquidity pools for full setups.

ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version
This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps.
### 🔍 **What It Does**
- Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts:
- AM Macro (09:50–10:10)
- London Close (10:50–11:10)
- Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30)
- PM Macro (14:50–15:10)
- London SB (03:00–04:00)
- PM SB (15:00–16:00)
- Each zone:
- **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session.
- **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries.
- **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional).
- **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
- Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color.
- Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context.
- High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window.
- Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place.
- All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts.
### 🛠️ **Settings**
- **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box.
- **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends.
- **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session.
### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique**
Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool:
- Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times.
- Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows.
- Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies.

📚 ICT SMC Toolkit — Script Integration Guide
This set of advanced Smart Money Concept (SMC) tools is designed for traders who follow ICT-based methodologies, combining liquidity theory, time-based precision, and engineered confluences for high-probability trades. Each indicator is optimized to work both independently and synergistically, forming a comprehensive trading framework.
---
First FVG Custom Time Range
**Purpose:**
Plots the **first Fair Value Gap (FVG)** that appears within a defined session (e.g., NY Kill Zone, Custom range). Includes optional retest alerts.
**Best Used With:**
- Use with **ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version)** to isolate FVGs during high-probability times like AM Macro or PM SB.
- Combine with **Liquidity Levels** to assess whether FVGs form near swing points or liquidity voids.
---
ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OB s
**Purpose:**
Detects **liquidity grabs** (stop hunts above/below swing highs/lows) and **bullish/bearish order blocks**. Includes optional Fibonacci OTE levels for sniper entries.
**Best Used With:**
- Use with **ICT Turtle Soup (Reversal)** for confirmation after a liquidity grab.
- Combine with **Macro Zones** to catch order blocks forming inside timed macro windows.
- Match with **Smart Swing Levels** to confirm structure breaks before entry.
ICT SMC Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)
**Purpose:**
Automatically marks swing highs/lows based on user-defined lookbacks. Tracks whether those levels have been breached or respected.
**Best Used With:**
- Combine with **Turtle Soup** to detect if a swing level was swept, then reversed.
- Use with **Liquidity Grabs** to confirm a grab occurred at a meaningful structural point.
- Align with **Macro Zones** to understand when liquidity events occur within macro session timing.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)
**Purpose:**
Implements the classic ICT Turtle Soup model. Looks for swing failure and quick reversals after a liquidity sweep — ideal for catching traps.
Best Used With:
- Confirm with **Liquidity Grabs + OBs** to identify institutional activity at the reversal point.
- Use **Liquidity Levels** to ensure the reversal is happening at valid previous swing highs/lows.
- Amplify probability when pattern appears during **Macro Zones** or near the **First FVG**.
ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2
**Purpose:**
An enhanced, multi-layer version of the Turtle Soup setup that includes built-in liquidity checks, OTE levels, structure validation, and customizable visual output.
**Best Used With:**
- Use as an **entry signal generator** when other indicators (e.g., OBs, liquidity grabs) are aligned.
- Pair with **Macro Zones** for high-precision timing.
- Combine with **First FVG** to anticipate price rebalancing before explosive moves.
---
## 🧠 Workflow Example:
1. **Start with Macro Zones** to focus only on institutional trading windows.
2. Look for **Liquidity Grabs or Swing Sweeps** around key highs/lows.
3. Check for a **Turtle Soup Reversal** or **Order Block Reaction** near that level.
4. Confirm confluence with a **Fair Value Gap**.
5. Execute using the **OTE level** from the Liquidity Grabs + OB script.

Wave N + KDJ + Volumi + SMC + IchimokuWave N + KDJ + Volume + SMC + Ichimoku Indicator
Overview
This script is a multi-layered technical indicator designed to provide traders with enhanced market insights by combining five key methodologies:
• Wave N Pattern (Price Action)
• KDJ Oscillator (Momentum)
• Volume Filtering (Confirmation)
• Smart Money Concepts (Order Blocks) (Institutional Activity)
• Ichimoku Cloud (Trend and Support/Resistance)
By integrating these components, the indicator identifies high-probability trading signals, early warnings of trend shifts, and institutional price zones to improve decision-making in volatile markets.
⸻
How It Works
1️⃣ Wave N Pattern (Price Action Structure)
The Wave N pattern is a classic price action formation that helps spot potential trend reversals and continuations:
• A Bullish Wave N is detected when a higher low and a higher high structure appears.
• A Bearish Wave N is detected when a lower high and a lower low structure forms.
2️⃣ KDJ Oscillator (Momentum & Trend Strength)
The KDJ Indicator is a variation of the Stochastic Oscillator that adds a third line, J, to amplify sensitivity to trend movements.
• J > 50 indicates bullish momentum.
• J < 50 indicates bearish momentum.
• The script includes an early warning signal when J crosses 50, suggesting a possible trend shift.
3️⃣ Volume Filtering (Trade Confirmation)
To avoid false signals, the script integrates volume confirmation:
• A signal is valid only if the volume is above the 20-period EMA of volume.
• This ensures that trade signals are supported by strong market participation.
4️⃣ Smart Money Concepts (Order Blocks)
Order Blocks represent areas of institutional interest, where large traders accumulate or distribute positions.
• The script detects bullish order blocks (potential support) and bearish order blocks (potential resistance).
• These areas help identify optimal entry and exit points.
5️⃣ Ichimoku Cloud (Trend & Dynamic Support/Resistance)
The Ichimoku Cloud is used to confirm trend direction:
• Baseline (Kijun-sen) acts as a key trend filter.
• Senkou Span A & B form the cloud (Kumo), indicating dynamic support/resistance.
• Buy signals require price to be above the baseline, while sell signals require price to be below the baseline.
⸻
Trading Signals & Visual Elements
✅ BUY Signal (Green Arrow)
Occurs when:
• A Bullish Wave N forms
• J > 50 (Bullish KDJ Signal)
• Volume is above EMA threshold
• Price is above the Ichimoku Baseline
❌ SELL Signal (Red Arrow)
Occurs when:
• A Bearish Wave N forms
• J < 50 (Bearish KDJ Signal)
• Volume is above EMA threshold
• Price is below the Ichimoku Baseline
⚠️ Early Warning (Trend Shift Signal)
• An early warning appears when J crosses 50, indicating a possible upcoming trend shift.
• The line color changes based on the potential move:
• Green/Blue → Possible Uptrend
• Red/Orange → Possible Downtrend
⸻
Why This Indicator is Unique?
Unlike simple trend-following indicators, this script:
• Combines Price Action, Momentum, Volume, and Institutional Order Flow for a multi-dimensional approach.
• Filters out weak signals using volume confirmation and Ichimoku.
• Provides early warnings before major trend shifts.
• Visualizes Smart Money Order Blocks, giving traders an edge in spotting institutional zones.
⸻
Best Timeframes & Markets
📊 Recommended Timeframes:
• 1H & 1D (works best on medium/long-term trends)
💹 Markets:
• Crypto, Forex, and Stocks
This indicator is designed for traders who value confluence and strong confirmation in their strategies. Whether you are a trend trader, swing trader, or institutional flow analyst, this tool can help refine your decision-making process.
🚀 Optimize your trades with Wave N + KDJ + Volume + SMC + Ichimoku! 🚀
[KVA] ICT Dealing rangesNaive aproach of Dynamic Detection of Dealing Ranges:
The script dynamically identifies dealing ranges based on sequences of upward or downward price movements. It uses arrays to track the highest highs and lowest lows after detecting two consecutive up or down bars, a fundamental step towards understanding market structure and potential shifts in momentum.
ICT Concept: Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps. This aspect can be linked to the identification of order blocks (bullish or bearish) and fair value gaps. Order blocks are essentially the last bearish or bullish candle before a significant price move, which this script could approximate by identifying the highs and lows of potential reversal zones.
Red and Green Ranges for Bullish and Bearish Movements:
The script separates these movements into red (bearish) and green (bullish) ranges, effectively categorizing potential areas of selling and buying pressure.
ICT Concept: Liquidity Pools. Red ranges could be indicative of areas where selling might occur, potentially leading to liquidity pools below these ranges. Conversely, green ranges might indicate potential buying pressure, with liquidity pools above. These areas are critical for ICT traders, as they often represent zones where price may return to "hunt" for liquidity.
Horizontal Lines for High and Low Points:
The indicator draws horizontal lines at the high and low points of these ranges, offering visual cues for significant levels.
ICT Concept: Breaker Blocks & Mitigation Sequences. The high and low points of these ranges can be seen as potential breaker blocks or areas for future mitigation sequences. In ICT terms, breaker blocks are areas where institutional orders have overwhelmed retail stop clusters, creating potential entry points for trend continuation or reversal. The high and low points marked by the indicator could serve as references for these sequences, where price might return to retest these levels.
Customizability and Historical Depth:
With inputs like rangePlot and maxBarsBack, the indicator allows for customization of the number of ranges to display and how far back in the chart history it looks to identify these ranges. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring the analysis to different trading strategies and timeframes.
ICT Concept: Market Structure Analysis. The ability to adjust the depth and number of ranges plotted caters to a detailed market structure analysis, an essential component of ICT methodology. Traders can adjust these parameters to better understand the distribution of buying and selling pressure over time and how actions have shaped price movements.
Bodies X Wix Version of Smart Money Tools by makuchaku & eFeThis is the same Script as Super Fair Value Gaps / FVG /BoS / by makuchaku & eFe. Mine Should Default to Large Text instead of small. The Super Order Blocks I believe was meant to for you to find one of the many Smart Money tools such as turn on the Fair Value gap but leave the others off, or Turn on where the Break of Structure and leave the others off. The reason I believe this is because the default values for each of the structures were default colored (green for positive and red for negative) for all.
Mine has a different Color for every possible structure. As long as you can read with the larger text that I added, then you can create your own boxes positive for break of structure, rejection block, order blocks and fair value gaps for any time frame. The reason I did that is because There's only certain things I believe I will need to mark for myself in each time frame, and then from there You can stretch iyour own box out further in time because if price touches a fair value gap for example, the fair value gap should conyinue in time until at least 2 candles have filed the Fair valu gap going both directions. That's truly when the fair value gap should is mitigated and will from off the chart. However, If I knew How to add the code for that, I would.
Additionally, I have the Max Boxes per chart, so you should have the ability to see every OB, FVG,RJB, & BoS on the chart
I tried my hardest to create a colored border that was different from the box. But the way the original was coded was almost impossible to do. Because they defined each of the structures (FVG, OB, BoS, RJB) outer levels, when the outer levels connect via math in the code, then it joins all the outside lines for a rectangle. When creating a box, the coloe will always be the same as the border unfortunately. (Unless I replan this from the beginning)
I also Changed the default labels for reach structure from a hard to read gray to a white that pops out.
Also, chart indicators are a little large as well. Such as the cross, sideways cross, The green Triangle, and the white Diamond. You'll get used to it or you can change it as well.
Creating videos for students, you need something they can see.
So, I just wanted to ensure everything was a little more unique and easily usable when showing this to my students when I send them private videos for our weekly lessons. I'm trying to learn how to use the IPFS for THAT, (which i see has invaded PineScript) Hope this indicator helps.

Candle Pattern Detector SMC with Alerts @AshokTrendJust Follow Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Hanging Man, Engulfing, volume adn smc consideration,
Trading the candlestick patterns (Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Hanging Man, Bullish/Bearish Engulfing) with volume confirmation adds an important layer of validation, helping to filter false signals and improve trade success. Here’s how to integrate volume into your strategy:
***
### How to Trade Candlestick Patterns with Volume Confirmation
#### 1. Understand Volume Role
- Volume shows the strength behind price moves:
- Higher volume on a pattern (compared to recent average) indicates strong participation, increasing the pattern’s reliability.
- Low volume may mean weak conviction and higher risk of failure.
#### 2. Volume Confirmation Rules
- Define a volume threshold, for example:
- Current candle’s volume > average volume of last 10 or 20 candles (or a fixed multiplier, e.g., 1.2× average).
- For bullish patterns (Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Bullish Engulfing): confirm with rising volume on pattern candle or next candle.
- For bearish patterns (Hanging Man, Bearish Engulfing): confirm with higher volume on pattern candle indicating strong selling.
#### 3. Entry Signals with Volume
- **Bullish Entry:**
- Signal candle (Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, etc.) appears near support or order block.
- Volume on the signal candle or immediate next candle is higher than average.
- Enter long on confirmation candle or close of signal candle.
- **Bearish Entry:**
- Signal candle (Hanging Man, Bearish Engulfing, etc.) appears near resistance or supply zone.
- Volume on the signal candle or immediate next candle exceeds average.
- Enter short on confirmation candle or close of signal candle.
#### 4. Stop Loss & Targets
- Place stop loss just below (for longs) or above (for shorts) the low/high wick of the signal candle or the order block zone.
- Set take profit based on nearby support/resistance, risk-reward ratio, or a fixed number of candle closes.
#### 5. Avoid Trading Without Volume Confirmation
- Reject candles if volume is below threshold to reduce false signals.
### Summary
Trading candlestick patterns combined with volume confirmation ensures only well-supported setups are taken, improving win rates and reducing noisy or fake signals. Volume adds a critical dimension to the SMC candle patterns for binary or any form of trading.

RSI Support & Resistance Breakouts with OrderblocksThis tool is an overly simplified method of finding market squeeze and breakout completely based on a dynamic RSI calculation. It is designed to draw out areas of price levels where the market is pushing back against price action leaving behind instances of short term support and resistance levels you otherwise wouldn't see with the common RSI.
It uses the changes in market momentum to determine support and resistance levels in real time while offering price zone where order blocks exist in the short term.
In ranging markets we need to know a couple things.
1. External Zone - It's important to know where the highs and lows were left behind as they hold liquidity. Here you will have later price swings and more false breakouts.
2. Internal Zone - It's important to know where the highest and lowest closing values were so we can see the limitations of that squeeze. Here you will find the stronger cluster of orders often seen as orderblocks.
In this tool I've added a 200 period Smoothed Moving Average as a trend filter which causes the RSI calculation to change dynamically.
Regular Zones - without extending
The Zones draw out automatically but are often too small to work with.
To solve this problem, you can extend the zones into the future up to 40 bars.
This allows for more visibility against future price action.
--------------------------------------------
Two Types of Zones
External Zones - These zones give you positioning of the highest and lowest price traded within the ranging market. This is where liquidity will be swept and often is an ultimate breaking point for new price swings.
How to use them :
External Zones - External zones form at the top of a pullback. After this price should move back into its impulsive wave.
During the next corrective way, if price breaches the top of the previous External Zone, this is a sign of trend weakness. Expect a divergence and trend reversal.
Internal Zones - (OrderBlocks) Current price will move in relation to previous internal zones. The internal zone is where a majority of price action and trading took place. It's a stronger SQUEEZE area. Current price action will often have a hard time closing beyond the previous Internal Zones high or low. You can expect these zones to show you where the market will flip over. In these same internal zones you'll find large rejection candles.
**Important Note** Size Doesn't Matter
The size of the internal zone does not matter. It can be very small and still very powerful.
Once an internal zone has been hit a few times, its often not relevant any longer.
Order Block Zone Examples
In this image you can see the Internal Zone that was untouched had a STRONG price reaction later on.
Internal Zones that were touched multiple times had weak reactions later as price respected them less over time.
Zone Overlay Breakdown
The Zones form and update in real time until momentum has picked up and price begins to trend. However it leaves behind the elements of the inducement area and all the key levels you need to know about for future price action.
Resistance Fakeout : Later on after the zone has formed, price will return to this upper zone of price levels and cause fakeouts. A close above this zone implies the market moves long again.
Midline Equilibrium : This is simply the center of the strongest traded area. We can call this the Point of Control within the orderblock. If price expands through both extremes of this zone multiple times in the future, it eliminates the orderblock.
Support Fakeout : Just like its opposing brother, price will wick through this zone and rip back causing inducement to trap traders. You would need a clear close below this zone to be in a bearish trend.
BARCOLOR or Candle Color: (Optional)
Bars are colored under three conditions
Bullish Color = A confirmed bullish breakout of the range.
Bearish Color = A confirmed bearish breakout of the range.
Squeeze Color = Even if no box is formed a candle or candles can have a squeeze color. This means the ranging market happened within the high and low of that singular candle.
