GMO (Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator) GMO
Overview
This indicator fuses multiple advanced concepts to give traders a comprehensive view of market momentum, volatility, and potential turning points. It leverages the Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator (GMO) foundation and layers on IQR-based bands, dynamic ATR-adjusted OB/OS levels, torque filtering, and divergence detection. The outcome is a versatile tool that can assist in identifying both short-term squeezes and long-term reversal zones while detecting subtle shifts in momentum acceleration.
Key Components:
Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator (GMO) – A physics-inspired metric capturing trend stability and momentum by treating price dynamics as “angle,” “angular velocity,” and “inertia.”
IQR Bands – Highlight statistically typical oscillation ranges, providing insight into short-term squeezes and potential near-term trend shifts.
ATR-Adjusted OB/OS Levels – Dynamic thresholds for overbought/oversold conditions, adapting to volatility, aiding in identifying long-term potential reversal zones.
Torque Filtering & Scaling – Smooths and thresholds torque (the rate of change of momentum) and visually scales it for clarity, indicating sudden force changes that may precede volatility adjustments.
Divergence Detection – Highlights potential reversal cues by comparing oscillator swings against price swings, revealing regular and hidden bullish/bearish divergences.
Conceptual Insights
IQR Bands (Short-Term Squeeze & Trend Direction):
Short-Term Momentum and Squeeze: The IQR (Interquartile Range) bands show where the oscillator tends to “live” statistically. When the GMO line hovers within compressed IQR bands, it can signal a momentum squeeze phase. Exiting these tight ranges often correlates with short-term breakout opportunities.
Trend Reversals: If the oscillator pushes beyond these IQR ranges, it may indicate an emerging short-term trend change. Traders can watch for GMO escaping the IQR “comfort zone” to anticipate a new directional move.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels (Long-Term Reversal Zones):
ATR-Based Adaptive Thresholds: Instead of static overbought/oversold lines, this tool uses ATR to adjust OB/OS boundaries. In calm markets, these lines remain closer to ±90. As volatility rises, they approach ±100, reflecting greater permissible swings.
Long-Term Trend Reversal Potential: If GMO hits these dynamically adjusted OB/OS extremes, it suggests conditions ripe for possible long-term trend reversals. Traders seeking major inflection points may find these adaptive levels more reliable than fixed thresholds.
Torque (Sudden Force & Directional Shifts):
Momentum Acceleration Insight: Torque represents the second derivative of momentum, highlighting how quickly momentum is changing. High positive torque suggests a rapidly strengthening bullish force, while high negative torque warns of sudden bearish pressure.
Early Warning & Stability/Volatility Adjustments: By monitoring torque spikes, traders can anticipate momentum shifts before price fully confirms them. This can signal imminent changes in stability or increased volatility phases.
Indicator Parameters and Usage
GMO-Related Inputs:
lenPivot (Default 100): Length for calculating the pivot line (slow market axis).
lenSmoothAngle (Default 200): Smooths the angle measure, reducing noise.
lenATR (Default 14): ATR period for scaling factor, linking price changes to volatility.
useVolatility (Default true): If true, volatility (ATR) influences inertia, adjusting momentum calculations.
useVolume (Default false): If true, volume affects inertia, adding a liquidity dimension to momentum.
lenVolSmoothing (Default 50): Smooths volume calculations if useVolume is enabled.
lenMomentumSmooth (Default 20): EMA smoothing of GMO for a cleaner oscillator line.
normalizeRange (Default true): Normalizes GMO to a fixed range for consistent interpretation.
lenNorm (Default 100): Length for normalization window, ensuring GMO’s scale adapts to recent extremes.
IQR Bands Settings:
iqrLength (Default 14): Period to compute the oscillator’s statistical IQR.
iqrMult (Default 1.5): Multiplier to define the upper and lower IQR-based bands.
ATR-Adjusted OB/OS Settings:
baseOBLevel (Fixed at 90) and baseOSLevel (Fixed at 90): Base lines for OB/OS.
atrPeriodForOBOS (Default 50): ATR length for adjusting OB/OS thresholds dynamically.
atrScaling (Default 0.2): Controls how strongly volatility affects OB/OS lines.
Torque Filtering & Visualization:
torqueSmoothLength (Default 10): EMA length to smooth raw torque values.
atrPeriodForTorque (Default 14): ATR period to determine torque threshold.
atrTorqueScaling (Default 0.5): Scales ATR for determining torque’s “significant” threshold.
torqueScaleFactor (Default 10.0): Multiplies the torque values for better visual prominence on the chart.

rangeUpper, rangeLower: Bar constraints to validate potential divergences.
plotBull, plotHiddenBull, plotBear, plotHiddenBear: Toggles for each divergence type.
Visual Elements on the Chart
GMO Line (Blue) & Zero Line (Gray):
GMO line oscillates around zero. Positive territory hints bullish momentum, negative suggests bearish.
IQR Bands (Teal Lines & Yellow Fill):
Upper/lower bands form a statistical “normal range” for GMO. The median line (purple) provides a central reference. Contraction near these bands indicates a short-term squeeze, expansions beyond them can signal emerging short-term trend changes.
Dynamic OB/OS (Red & Green Lines):
Red line near +90 to +100: Overbought zone (dynamic).
Green line near -90 to -100: Oversold zone (dynamic).
Movement into these zones may mark significant, longer-term reversal potential.
Torque Histogram (Colored Bars):
Plotted below GMO. Green bars = torque above positive threshold (bullish acceleration).
Red bars = torque below negative threshold (bearish acceleration).
Gray bars = neutral range.
This provides early warnings of momentum shifts before price responds fully.
Precession (Orange Line):
Scaled for visibility, adds context to long-term angular shifts in the oscillator.
Divergence Signals (Shapes):
Circles and offset lines highlight regular or hidden bullish/bearish divergences, offering potential reversal signals.
Practical Interpretation & Strategy
Short-Term Opportunities (IQR Focus):
If GMO compresses within IQR bands, the market might be “winding up.” A break above/below these bands can signal a short-term trade opportunity.
Long-Term Reversal Zones (Dynamic OB/OS):
When GMO approaches these dynamically adjusted extremes, conditions may be ripe for a major trend shift. This is particularly useful for swing or position traders looking for significant turnarounds.
Monitoring Torque for Acceleration Cues:
Torque spikes can precede price action, serving as an early catalyst signal. If torque turns strongly positive, anticipate bullish acceleration; strongly negative torque may warn of upcoming bearish pressure.
Confirm with Divergences:
Divergences between price and GMO reinforce potential reversal or continuation signals identified by IQR, OB/OS, or torque. Use them to increase confidence in setups.
Tips and Best Practices
Combine with Price & Volume Action:
While the indicator is powerful, always confirm signals with actual price structure, volume patterns, or other trend-following tools.
Adjust Lengths & Periods as Needed:
Shorter lengths = more responsiveness but more noise. Longer lengths = smoother signals but greater lag. Tune parameters to match your trading style and timeframe.
Use ATR and Volume Settings Wisely:
If markets are highly volatile, consider useVolatility to refine momentum readings. If liquidity is key, enable useVolume.
Scaling Torque:
If torque bars are hard to read, increase torqueScaleFactor further. The scaling doesn’t affect logic—only visibility.
Conclusion
The “GMO + IQR Bands + ATR-Adjusted OB/OS + Torque Filtering (Scaled)” indicator presents a holistic framework for understanding market momentum across multiple timescales and conditions. By interpreting short-term squeezes via IQR bands, long-term reversal zones via adaptive OB/OS, and subtle acceleration changes through torque, traders can gain advanced insights into when to anticipate breakouts, manage risk around potential reversals, and fine-tune timing for entries and exits.
This integrated approach helps navigate complex market dynamics, making it a valuable addition to any technical analysis toolkit.

GannLSVZO Indicator [Algo Alert]The Volume Zone oscillator breaks up volume activity into positive and negative categories. It is positive when the current closing price is greater than the prior closing price and negative when it's lower than the prior closing price. The resulting curve plots through relative percentage levels that yield a series of buy and sell signals, depending on level and indicator direction.
The Gann Laplace Smoothed Volume Zone Oscillator GannLSVZO is a refined version of the Volume Zone Oscillator, enhanced by the implementation of the upgraded Discrete Fourier Transform, the Laplace Stieltjes Transform. Its primary function is to streamline price data and diminish market noise, thus offering a clearer and more precise reflection of price trends.
By combining the Laplace with Gann Swing Entries and Exits (orange X) and with Ehler's white noise histogram, users gain a comprehensive perspective on volume-related market conditions.
HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR:
The default period is 2 but can be adjusted after backtesting. (I suggest 5 VZO length and NoiceR max length 8 as-well)
The VZO points to a positive trend when it is rising above the 0% level, and a negative trend when it is falling below the 0% level. 0% level can be adjusted in setting by adjusting VzoDifference. Oscillations rising below 0% level or falling above 0% level result in a natural trend.
ORIGINALITY & USFULLNESS:
Personal combination of Gann swings and Laplace Stieltjes Transform of a price which results in less noise Volume Zone Oscillator.
The Laplace Stieltjes Transform is a mathematical technique that transforms discrete data from the time domain into its corresponding representation in the frequency domain. This process involves breaking down a signal into its individual frequency components, thereby exposing the amplitude and phase characteristics inherent in each frequency element.
This indicator utilizes the concept of Ehler's Universal Oscillator and displays a histogram, offering critical insights into the prevailing levels of market noise. The Ehler's Universal Oscillator is grounded in a statistical model that captures the erratic and unpredictable nature of market movements. Through the application of this principle, the histogram aids traders in pinpointing times when market volatility is either rising or subsiding.
The Gann swings and the Gan swing strategy is developed by meomeo105, this Gann high and low algorithm forms the basis of the EMA modification.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
My detailed description of the indicator and use cases which I find very valuable.
What is oscillator?
Oscillators are chart indicators that can assist a trader in determining overbought or oversold conditions in ranging (non-trending) markets.
What is volume zone oscillator?
Price Zone Oscillator measures if the most recent closing price is above or below the preceding closing price.
Volume Zone Oscillator is Volume multiplied by the 1 or -1 depending on the difference of the preceding 2 close prices and smoothed with Exponential moving Average.
What does this mean?
If the VZO is above 0 and VZO is rising. We have a bullish trend. Most likely.
If the VZO is below 0 and VZO is falling. We have a bearish trend. Most likely.
Rising means that VZO on close is higher than the previous day.
Falling means that VZO on close is lower than the previous day.
What if VZO is falling above 0 line?
It means we have a high probability of a bearish trend.
Thus the indicator returns 0 and Strategy closes all it's positions when falling above 0 (or rising bellow 0) and we combine higher and lower timeframes to gauge the trend.
What is approximation and smoothing?
They are mathematical concepts for making a discrete set of numbers a
continuous curved line.
Laplace Stieltjes Transform approximation of a close price are taken from aprox library.
Key Features:
You can tailor the Indicator/Strategy to your preferences with adjustable parameters such as VZO length, noise reduction settings, and smoothing length.
Volume Zone Oscillator (VZO) shows market sentiment with the VZO, enhanced with Exponential Moving Average (EMA) smoothing for clearer trend identification.
Noise Reduction leverages Euler's White noise capabilities for effective noise reduction in the VZO, providing a cleaner and more accurate representation of market dynamics.
Choose between the traditional Fast Laplace Stieltjes Transform (FLT) and the innovative Double Discrete Fourier Transform (DTF32) soothed price series to suit your analytical needs.
Use dynamic calculation of Laplace coefficient or the static one. You may modify those inputs and Strategy entries with Gann swings.
I suggest using "Close all" input False when fine-tuning Inputs for 1 TimeFrame. When you export data to Excel/Numbers/GSheets I suggest using "Close all" input as True, except for the lowest TimeFrame. I suggest using 100% equity as your default quantity for fine-tune purposes. I have to mention that 100% equity may lead to unrealistic backtesting results. Be avare. When backtesting for trading purposes use Contracts or USDT.

🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to be notified of significant market movements without constantly monitoring your chart.
How It Works
The Hullinger Percentile Oscillator calculates its signals by applying a modified standard deviation approach to the Hull Moving Average (HMA) of a selected price source. It creates both inner and outer bands based on different multipliers. The oscillator then measures the position of the price relative to these bands, smoothing the result for swing trend detection. Depending on the chosen mode, the oscillator either highlights swing trends or potential reversals. Divergences are detected by comparing recent pivot highs and lows in both price and the oscillator, allowing you to spot bullish or bearish divergence setups. Alerts are triggered based on key crossovers or when specific conditions are met, ensuring that you are always informed of crucial market developments.
Ichimoku Theories [LuxAlgo]The Ichimoku Theories indicator is the most complete Ichimoku tool you will ever need. Four tools combined into one to harness all the power of Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō.
This tool features the following concepts based on the work of Goichi Hosoda:
Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō: Original Ichimoku indicator with its five main lines and kumo.
Time Theory: automatic time cycle identification and forecasting to understand market timing.
Wave Theory: automatic wave identification to understand market structure.
Price Theory: automatic identification of developing N waves and possible price targets to understand future price behavior.
🔶 ICHIMOKU KINKŌ HYŌ
Ichimoku with lines only, Kumo only and both together
Let us start with the basics: the Ichimoku original indicator is a tool to understand the market, not to predict it, it is a trend-following tool, so it is best used in trending markets.
Ichimoku tells us what is happening in the market and what may happen next, the aim of the tool is to provide market understanding, not trading signals.
The tool is based on calculating the mid-point between the high and low of three pre-defined ranges as the equilibrium price for short (9 periods), medium (26 periods), and long (52 periods) time horizons:
Tenkan sen: middle point of the range of the last 9 candles
Kinjun sen: middle point of the range of the last 26 candles
Senkou span A: middle point between Tankan Sen and Kijun Sen, plotted 26 candles into the future
Senkou span B: midpoint of the range of the last 52 candles, plotted 26 candles into the future
Chikou span: closing price plotted 26 candles into the past
Kumo: area between Senkou pans A and B (kumo means cloud in Japanese)
The most basic use of the tool is to use the Kumo as an area of possible support or resistance.
🔶 TIME THEORY
Current cycles and forecast
Time theory is a critical concept used to identify historical and current market cycles, and use these to forecast the next ones. This concept is based on the Kihon Suchi (translating to "Basic Numbers" in Japanese), these are 9 and 26, and from their combinations we obtain the following sequence:
9, 17, 26, 33, 42, 51, 65, 76, 129, 172, 200, 257
The main idea is that the market moves in cycles with periods set by the Kihon Suchi sequence.
When the cycle has the same exact periods, we obtain the Taito Suchi (translating to "Same Number" in Japanese).
This tool allows traders to identify historical and current market cycles and forecast the next one.
🔹 Time Cycle Identification
Presentation of 4 different modes: SWINGS, HIGHS, KINJUN, and WAVES .
The tool draws a horizontal line at the bottom of the chart showing the cycles detected and their size.
The following settings are used:
Time Cycle Mode: up to 7 different modes
Wave Cycle: Which wave to use when WAVE mode is selected, only active waves in the Wave Theory settings will be used.
Show Time Cycles: keep a cleaner chart by disabling cycles visualisation
Show last X time cycles: how many cycles to display
🔹 Time Cycle Forecast
Showcasing the two forecasting patterns: Kihon Suchi and Taito Suchi
The tool plots horizontal lines, a solid anchor line, and several dotted forecast lines.
The following settings are used:
Show time cycle forecast: to keep things clean
Forecast Pattern: comes in two flavors
Kihon Suchi plots a line from the anchor at each number in the Kihon Suchi sequence.
Taito Suchi plot lines from the anchor with the same size detected in the anchored cycle
Anchor forecast on last X time cycle: traders can place the anchor in any detected cycle
🔶 WAVE THEORY
All waves activated with overlapping
The main idea behind this theory is that markets move like waves in the sea, back and forth (making swing lows and highs). Understanding the current market structure is key to having realistic expectations of what the market may do next. The waves are divided into Simple and Complex.
The following settings are used:
Basic Waves: allows traders to activate waves I, V and N
Complex Waves: allows traders to activate waves P, Y and W
Overlapping waves: to avoid missing out on any of the waves activated
Show last X waves: how many waves will be displayed
🔹 Basic Waves
The three basic waves
The basic waves from which all waves are made are I, V, and N
I wave: one leg moves
V wave: two legs move, one against the other
N wave: Three legs move, push, pull back, and another push
🔹 Complex Waves
Three complex waves
There are other waves like
P wave: contracting market
Y wave: expanding market
W wave: double top or double bottom
🔶 PRICE THEORY
All targets for the current N wave with their calculations
This theory is based on identifying developing N waves and predicting potential price targets based on that developing wave.
The tool displays 4 basic targets (V, E, N, and NT) and 3 extended targets (2E and 3E) according to the calculations shown in the chart above. Traders can enable or disable each target in the settings panel.
🔶 USING EVERYTHING TOGETHER
Please DON'T do this. This is not how you use it
Now the real example:
Daily chart of Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ1!) with our Ichimoku analysis
Time, waves, and price theories go together as one:
First, we identify the current time cycles and wave structure.
Then we forecast the next cycle and possible key price levels.
We identify a Taito Suchi with both legs of exactly 41 candles on each I wave, both together forming a V wave, the last two I waves are part of a developing N wave, and the time cycle of the first one is 191 candles. We forecast this cycle into the future and get 22nd April as a key date, so in 6 trading days (as of this writing) the market would have completed another Taito Suchi pattern if a new wave and time cycle starts. As we have a developing N wave we can see the potential price targets, the price is actually between the NT and V targets. We have a bullish Kumo and the price is touching it, if this Kumo provides enough support for the price to go further, the market could reach N or E targets.
So we have identified the cycle and wave, our expectations are that the current cycle is another Taito Suchi and the current wave is an N wave, the first I wave went for 191 candles, and we expect the second and third I waves together to amount to 191 candles, so in theory the N wave would complete in the next 6 trading days making a swing high. If this is indeed the case, the price could reach the V target (it is almost there) or even the N target if the bulls have the necessary strength.
We do not predict the future, we can only aim to understand the current market conditions and have future expectations of when (time), how (wave), and where (price) the market will make the next turning point where one side of the market overcomes the other (bulls vs bears).

ICT Concepts [Kodexius]ICT Concepts is an all in one, chart overlay toolkit that combines several widely used ICT style components into a single, modular workflow. It is designed to help you map higher timeframe context, track directional structure, and refine execution areas with imbalance and liquidity concepts, without turning the chart into a cluttered drawing board.
Instead of plotting everything indefinitely, each module focuses on “live relevance” and chart readability. Zones, lines, and labels are managed with sensible limits so the most recent and most meaningful structures remain visible while older objects are automatically retired.
Because the system is modular, you can run it like a complete toolkit:
- Use multi timeframe Order Blocks to define high probability zones
- Use Market Structure (BOS and MSS) for bias and context
- Validate intent with SMT Divergence when you want intermarket confirmation
- Refine with Imbalances (FVG, BPR, CE) and Liquidity Sweeps
- Add timing structure via Killzones and risk structure via auto Fibonacci
🔹 Features
🔸 Multi Timeframe Order Blocks (3 candle displacement OB)
The OB engine detects a strict 3 candle displacement sequence (bull and bear) and projects the “order block candle” as a forward extending zone. Detection can run on the chart timeframe or on a user selected higher timeframe and then be displayed on your execution chart.
🔸 Overlap Control
Before adding a new OB, the script checks overlap against existing zones of the same direction. If a new zone intersects an existing one, it is ignored to reduce redundant stacking in the same price area.
🔸 Automatic Extension and Mitigation for Order Blocks
OB zones extend forward on every bar and are removed once mitigation is confirmed. Mitigation is evaluated by close breaking decisively beyond the relevant boundary:
- Bullish OB mitigates when close prints below the OB bottom
- Bearish OB mitigates when close prints above the OB top
🔸 Market Structure (BOS and MSS)
Market Structure is built from swing pivots using a configurable pivot length. When price closes through the latest swing, the script prints a structure event:
BOS (Break of Structure) for continuation
MSS (Market Structure Shift) for a directional change
To keep the chart readable, older structure drawings are capped by history limits.
🔸 SMT Divergence with optional mini panel
SMT can compare the current instrument with a user selected symbol to highlight divergence at swing points. A divergence is flagged when one market makes a new swing extreme while the other fails to confirm.
Optional: a compact right side “compare symbol” candle panel can be enabled so you can visually confirm what the secondary market is doing without leaving the chart.
🔸 Imbalances: FVG, BPR, and CE modes
You can choose between three imbalance views depending on your style:
FVG mode: Fair Value Gaps are plotted as extending zones
CE mode: Consequent Encroachment is visualized using a midpoint line and a half zone fill
BPR mode: Balanced Price Range is formed when a new FVG overlaps an opposing FVG, producing a “balanced” region that often behaves differently than a standalone gap
🔸 Automatic extension, limits, and mitigation for imbalances
Imbalance objects extend forward until mitigated. Mitigation uses wick based logic:
Bullish imbalance mitigates when price wicks below the zone bottom
Bearish imbalance mitigates when price wicks above the zone top
The script also enforces per side limits and removes older items to keep performance stable.
🔸 Liquidity sweeps (buyside and sellside)
The liquidity module tracks swing highs and lows and marks sweep events when price runs the level and then closes back through it, which often behaves like a rejection signal. Sweeps are visualized with a level line plus a small sweep highlight box, with an optional history cap.
🔸 Auto anchored Fibonacci (EQ and OTE focus)
Fibonacci levels are automatically anchored using the most recent structure context so you do not need to manually re draw fibs every time the market evolves. EQ and OTE focused bands are plotted to support common premium discount style workflows, with optional extra levels if desired.
🔸 Killzones (session boxes with optional range tracking)
Asian, London Open, New York AM, and New York PM killzones can be displayed using UTC-5 session definitions. Session boxes dynamically expand as new highs and lows are formed during the session, and historical zones can be retained up to a user set count. Rendering is restricted to intraday timeframes up to 60 minutes for clean scaling and performance.
🔹 Calculations
1) Order Block detection (3 candle displacement)
The OB pattern is defined inside detectLogic() . The zone boundaries always come from candle (the middle candle of the 3 candle sequence).
detectLogic() =>
bool isBull = open > close and close > open and close > open and low < low and close > high
bool isBear = open < close and close < open and close < open and high > high and close < low
[isBull, high , low , time , isBear, high , low , time ]
Interpretation (bullish side):
Candle is bearish
Candle is bullish (the OB candle)
Current candle is bullish and closes above high
low undercuts low to form the sweep style condition
Bearish logic is the mirrored inverse.
2) Multi timeframe projection and duplicate control
If the timeframe input is set, detections are computed on that timeframe and projected onto the current chart using request.security . A last processed time check prevents duplicate prints.
=
request.security(syminfo.tickerid, i_tf, detectLogic())
var int lastBullTime = 0
var int lastBearTime = 0
if mtf_isBull and mtf_bullTime != lastBullTime
lastBullTime := mtf_bullTime
if mtf_isBear and mtf_bearTime != lastBearTime
lastBearTime := mtf_bearTime
3) OB overlap validation and mitigation
Overlap is checked before pushing a new zone, then zones are extended and removed once mitigated by close.
method hasOverlap(array OBs, float top, float bottom) =>
bool overlap = false
if OBs.size() > 0
for i = 0 to OBs.size() - 1
OB item = OBs.get(i)
if (top < item.top and top > item.bottom) or (bottom > item.bottom and bottom < item.top)
overlap := true
break
overlap
method isMitigated(OB this, float currentClose) =>
this.isBull ? (currentClose < this.bottom) : (currentClose > this.top)
4) Market Structure: pivots, BOS, and MSS
Swings are derived from pivots; then BOS/MSS prints when price crosses the latest swing. The script tracks trend state to decide whether the break is continuation (BOS) or shift (MSS).
float ph = ta.pivothigh(i_structLen, i_structLen)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(i_structLen, i_structLen)
bool brokenHigh = ta.crossover(close, lastHigh)
bool brokenLow = ta.crossunder(close, lastLow)
// drawStructure(..., "BOS", ...) or drawStructure(..., "MSS", ...) depending on trend state
5) SMT Divergence conditions
SMT uses pivot highs/lows on both instruments. A bearish SMT prints when the main chart makes a higher high but the compare symbol fails to exceed its prior high. A bullish SMT prints when the main chart makes a lower low but the compare symbol fails to make a lower low.
bool bearishSmt = not na(smtAHighPrev) and not na(smtBHighPrev) and (smtAHighLast > smtAHighPrev) and (smtBHighLast <= smtBHighPrev)
bool bullishSmt = not na(smtALowPrev) and not na(smtBLowPrev) and (smtALowLast < smtALowPrev) and (smtBLowLast >= smtBLowPrev)
6) FVG detection, BPR construction, and CE level
FVGs are detected via a classic 3 bar gap condition. When a new FVG overlaps an opposing FVG, the script builds a BPR using the intersecting region. CE is the midpoint (top + bottom) / 2, plotted as a dashed line plus a half fill box.
bool fvgBullDetected = low > high
bool fvgBearDetected = high < low
// CE
float ceLevel = (this.top + this.bottom) / 2
Imbalance mitigation uses wick logic:
method isMitigated(FVG this, float currentHigh, float currentLow) =>
this.isBull ? (currentLow < this.bottom) : (currentHigh > this.top)
7) Liquidity sweep trigger
A sweep is confirmed only when price runs the pivot level and closes back through it (reject style).
bool sweepBull = i_showLiq and not na(liqLastLow) and not liqLastLowSwept and low < liqLastLow and close > liqLastLow
bool sweepBear = i_showLiq and not na(liqLastHigh) and not liqLastHighSwept and high > liqLastHigh and close < liqLastHigh
8) Killzone session mapping
Sessions are defined in UTC-5 using time() session strings.
string kzTz = "UTC-5"
kzInSession(string sess) =>
not na(time(timeframe.period, sess, kzTz))
bool inAsian = kzInSession("2000-0000")
bool inLondon = kzInSession("0200-0500")
bool inNY = kzInSession("0830-1100")
FX OSINT - Institutional Midnight Intelligence For ForexFX OSINT — Institutional Midnight Intelligence For Forex
See Your FX Charts Like an Intelligence Briefing, Not a Guess
If you’ve ever stared at EURUSD or GBPJPY and thought:
Where is the real liquidity?
Is this move sponsored by smart money or just noise?
Am I buying into premium or discount?
…then FX OSINT is designed for you.
FX OSINT (Forex Open Source Intelligence) treats the FX market the way an analyst treats an investigation:
Collect open‑source signals from price, time, and volatility.
Map out liquidity, structure, and sessions in a repeatable way.
Present them in a clean, non‑cluttered dashboard so you can read context quickly.
No rainbow spaghetti. No 12 indicators stacked on top of each other. Just structured information, midnight visuals, and a clear read on what the market is doing right now.
Why FX OSINT Exists
Many FX traders run into the same problems:
Overloaded charts – multiple indicators fighting for space, none talking to each other.
Signals with no context – arrows that ignore structure, sessions, and liquidity.
Tools not tuned for FX – generic indicators that don’t care what pair you are on.
FX OSINT brings this together into one FX‑focused framework that:
Understands structure : BOS/CHOCH, swings, and trend across multiple timeframes.
Respects liquidity : sweeps, order blocks, and FVGs with controlled visibility.
Reads volatility & ADR : how far today’s range has developed.
Knows the clock : London, New York, and key killzones.
Scores confluence : a 0–100 engine that summarizes how much is lining up.
FX OSINT is built for traders who want structured, institutional‑style logic with a disciplined, midnight‑themed UI —not flashing buy/sell buttons.
1. Midnight Dashboard — Top‑Right Intelligence Panel
This panel acts as your compact “situation room”:
CONFLUENCE — 0–100 score blending trend alignment, volatility regime, sessions, liquidity events, order blocks, FVGs, and ADR context.
REGIME — Low / Building / Normal / Expansion / Extreme, driven by ATR relationships, so you know if you’re in chop, trend, or expansion.
HTF / MTF / LTF TREND — Higher‑, medium‑, and current‑timeframe bias in one place, so you see if you are trading with or against the larger flow.
ADR USED — How much of today’s typical range has already been consumed in percentage terms.
PIP VALUE — Approximate pip size per pair, including JPY‑style pairs.
Everything is bold, legible, and color‑coded, but the layout stays minimal so you can:
Look once → understand the context.
2. Structure, BOS, CHOCH — Smart‑Money‑Style Skeleton
FX OSINT tracks swing highs and lows, then shows how structure evolves:
Trend logic based on evolving swings, not just a moving average cross.
BOS (Break of Structure) when price expands in the direction of trend.
CHOCH (Change of Character) when behavior flips and the market structure changes.
Labels are selective, not spammy . You don’t get a tag on every minor wiggle—only when structure meaningfully shifts, so it’s easier to answer:
"Are we continuing the current leg, or did something actually change here?"
3. Liquidity Sweeps, Order Blocks & FVGs — The OSINT Layer
FX OSINT treats liquidity as a key information layer:
Liquidity sweeps — Detects when price spikes through recent highs/lows and then snaps back, flagging potential stop runs.
Order blocks — The last opposite candle before a displacement move, drawn as controlled boxes with limited lifespan to avoid clutter.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — Three‑candle imbalances rendered as precise zones with a cap on how many can exist at once.
Under the hood, boxes are managed so your chart does not become a wall of old zones:
// Draw Order Blocks with overlap prevention
if isBullishOB and showOrderBlocks
if array.size(obBoxes) >= maxBoxes
oldBox = array.shift(obBoxes)
box.delete(oldBox)
newBox = box.new(bar_index , low , bar_index + obvLength, high ,
border_color = bullColor, bgcolor = bullColorTransp,
border_width = 2, extend = extend.none)
array.push(obBoxes, newBox)
Box limits keep the number of zones under control.
Borders and transparency are tuned so you still see price clearly.
You end up with a curated liquidity map , rather than a chart buried under every level price has ever touched.
4. Volatility, ADR & Sessions — Time and Range Intelligence
FX OSINT runs a Volatility Regime Analyzer and an ADR engine in the background:
Volatility regime — Five states (Low → Extreme) derived from fast vs. slow ATR.
ADR bands — Daily high/mid/low projected from the current daily open.
ADR used % — How far today’s move has traveled relative to its typical range.
On the time side:
Asia, London, New York sessions are softly highlighted with a single active background to avoid overlapping colors.
Killzones (e.g., London and New York opens) can be emphasized when you want to focus on where significant moves often begin.
Together, this helps you answer:
"What time is it in the trading day?"
"How stretched are we?"
"Is expansion just starting, or are we late to the move?"
5. ICT‑Style Add‑Ons — BOS/CHOCH, Premium/Discount, and Confluence
For modern FX / ICT‑inspired workflows, FX OSINT includes:
BOS / CHOCH labels — Clear structural shifts based on swings.
Premium / Discount zones — 25%, 50%, 75% levels of the daily range, so you know if you are buying discount in an uptrend or selling premium in a downtrend.
Confluence score — A single number summarizing how many conditions line up in the current context.
Instead of replacing your plan, FX OSINT compresses your checklist into the chart:
Structure
Liquidity
Session / Time
Volatility / ADR
Higher‑timeframe alignment
When these agree, the dashboard reflects it. When they don’t, it stays neutral and lets you see the conflict.
How To Use FX OSINT
FX OSINT is not a signal bot. It is an information engine that organizes context so you can apply your own plan.
A typical workflow might look like:
Start on higher timeframes (e.g., H4/D1) to form directional bias from structure, volatility regime, and ADR context.
Move to intraday timeframes (e.g., M15/H1) around your chosen sessions (London and/or New York).
Look for confluence :
HTF / MTF / LTF trends aligned.
Price in discount for longs or premium for shorts.
Recent liquidity sweep into a meaningful OB or FVG.
Confluence score at or above a level you consider significant.
Then refine entries using BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes according to your own risk and execution rules.
FX OSINT aims to make sure you do not enter a trade without seeing:
Where you are in the day (ADR and sessions).
Where you are in the volatility cycle (regime).
Who currently appears in control (structure and trend).
Which liquidity was just targeted (sweeps and zones).
Design Choices and Scope
FX OSINT was designed around a few clear constraints:
FX‑focused — Logic and filters tuned for FX majors, minors, exotics, and metals. It is intended for FX markets, not for every possible asset class.
Open‑source — The full Pine Script code is available so you can read it, learn from it, and adapt it to your own workflow if needed.
Clear themes — Two main visual styles (e.g., dark institutional “midnight” and a lighter accent variant) with a focus on readability, not visual noise.
Chart‑friendly — Panels use fixed areas, session highlights avoid overlapping, and boxes are capped/pruned so the chart remains usable.
FX OSINT is for only Forex pairs, not anything else!
Hope you enjoyed and remember your Open Source Intelligence Matters 😉!

EMA Market Structure [BOSWaves]EMA Market Structure - Trend-Driven Structural Mapping with Adaptive Swing Detection
Overview
The EMA Market Structure indicator provides an advanced framework for visualizing market structure through dynamically filtered trend and swing analysis.
Unlike conventional EMA overlays, which merely indicate average price direction, this model integrates trend acceleration, swing highs/lows, and break-of-structure (BOS) logic into a unified, visually intuitive display.
Each element adapts in real time to price movement, offering traders a living map of support, resistance, and trend bias that reacts fluidly to market momentum.
The result is a comprehensive, trend-aware representation of price structure.
EMA slope and acceleration guide trend perception, while swing points identify key inflection zones.
Breaks of prior highs or lows are highlighted with visual BOS labels and stop-loss projections, giving traders actionable context for continuation or reversal setups.
Unlike static lines or simple moving averages, the EMA Market Structure indicator fuses dynamic trend analysis with structural awareness to provide a clear picture of market bias and potential turning points.
Theoretical Foundation
The EMA Market Structure builds on principles of momentum filtering and structural analysis.
Standard moving averages track average price but ignore acceleration and context; this indicator captures both the directional slope of the EMA and its rate of change, providing a proxy for trend strength.
Simultaneously, swing detection identifies statistically significant highs and lows, while BOS logic flags decisive breaks in structure, aligned with trend direction.
At its core are three interacting components:
EMA Trend & Acceleration : Smooths price data while highlighting acceleration changes, producing gradient-driven color cues for trend momentum.
Swing Detection Engine : Identifies swing highs and lows over configurable bar lengths, ensuring key turning points are captured with minimal clutter.
Break-of-Structure Logic : Detects price breaches of previous swings and aligns them with EMA trend for actionable BOS signals, including projected stop-loss levels for tactical decision-making.
By integrating these elements, the system scales effectively across timeframes and assets, maintaining structural clarity while visualizing trend dynamics in real time. Traders receive both macro and micro perspectives of market movement, with clear cues for trend continuation or reversal.
How It Works
The EMA Market Structure indicator operates through layered processing stages:
EMA Slope & Acceleration : Calculates the EMA and its rate of change, normalizing via ATR and a smoothing function to produce gradient color coding. This allows instant visual identification of bullish or bearish momentum.
Swing Identification : Swing highs and lows are computed using configurable left/right bar lengths, filtered through a cool-off mechanism to prevent redundant signals and maintain chart clarity.
Structural Lines & Zones : Swing points are connected with lines, and shaded zones are drawn between successive highs/lows to highlight key support and resistance regions.
Break-of-Structure Detection : BOS events occur when price breaches a prior swing in alignment with the EMA trend. Bullish and bearish BOS signals include enhanced label effects and projected stop-loss lines and zones, providing immediate tactical reference.
Dynamic Background Mapping : The chart background adapts to EMA trend direction, reinforcing trend context with subtle visual cues.
Through these processes, the indicator creates a living, adaptive map of market structure that reflects both trend strength and swing-based inflection points.
Interpretation
The EMA Market Structure reframes market reading from simple trend following to structured awareness of price behavior:
Uptrend Phases : EMA is rising with positive acceleration, swings confirm higher lows, and BOS events occur above prior highs, signaling trend continuation.
Downtrend Phases : EMA slope is negative, swings form lower highs, and BOS events occur below prior lows, confirming bearish bias.
Trend Reversals : Flat or decelerating EMA with BOS failures may indicate impending structural change.
Critical Zones : Swing-based lines and shaded zones highlight areas where price may pause, reverse, or accelerate, providing high-probability decision points.
Visually, EMA color gradients, structural lines, and BOS labels combine to provide both statistical trend confirmation and actionable structural cues.
Strategy Integration
EMA Market Structure integrates seamlessly into trend-following and swing-based trading systems:
Trend Alignment : Confirm higher-timeframe EMA slope before entering continuation trades.
BOS Entry Triggers : Use BOS events aligned with EMA trend for tactical entries and stop placement.
Support/Resistance Mapping : Swing lines and zones help define areas for scaling, exits, or reversals.
Volatility Context : ATR-based smoothing and stop-loss buffers accommodate varying market volatility, ensuring robustness across conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Coordination : Combine higher-timeframe EMA trend and swings with lower-timeframe structural events for precision entries.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : EMA slope and ATR-normalized acceleration for gradient-driven trend visualization.
Swing Framework : Pivot-based high/low detection with configurable bar lengths and cool-off intervals.
Structural Visualization : Lines, zones, and labels for high-fidelity mapping of support/resistance and BOS events.
BOS Engine : Detects structural breaks aligned with EMA trend, automatically plotting stop-loss lines and visual cues.
Performance Profile : Lightweight, optimized for real-time responsiveness across multiple timeframes.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
1 - 5 min : Ideal for intraday swing spotting and microstructure trend tracking.
15 - 60 min : Medium-range structural analysis and BOS-driven entries.
4H - Daily : Macro trend mapping and key swing-based support/resistance identification.
Suggested Configuration:
EMA Length : 50
Swing Length : 5
Swing Cooloff : 10 bars
BOS Cooloff : 15 bars
SL Buffer : 0.1%
These suggested parameters should be used as a baseline; their effectiveness depends on the asset volatility, liquidity, and preferred entry frequency, so fine-tuning is expected for optimal performance.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Trending markets with defined swings and structural consistency.
Markets where EMA slope and acceleration reliably indicate momentum changes.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Choppy or sideways markets with minimal swing definition.
Random walk assets lacking clear structural anchors.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Combine with volume, momentum, or BOSWaves structural indicators
to validate entries.
Directional Control: Follow EMA slope and BOS alignment for high-conviction trades.
Risk Calibration: Use SL projections for disciplined exposure management.
Multi-Timeframe Synergy: Confirm higher-timeframe trend before executing lower-timeframe structural trades.
Disclaimer
The EMA Market Structure is a professional-grade trend and structure visualization tool. It is not predictive or guaranteed profitable; performance depends on parameter tuning, market regime, and disciplined execution. BOSWaves recommends using it as part of a comprehensive analytical stack integrating trend, liquidity, and structural context.
MACD Momentum Structure & Volume Profile Sniper [MTF]**Description and Methodology**
This script offers a unique approach to Market Structure by moving away from traditional fractal-based highs and lows (which can be noisy). Instead, it utilizes **MACD Momentum Swings** to identify significant structural points, combined with an automated Fixed Range Volume Profile to pinpoint high-probability entry zones.
**1. Why MACD Structure? (The Core Concept)**
Traditional "ZigZag" or Fractal indicators rely solely on price action, often leading to fake-outs during low-volume consolidation.
* This script defines a "Swing High" only when the MACD Histogram crosses below zero (Momentum shifts Bearish).
* This script defines a "Swing Low" only when MACD crosses above zero (Momentum shifts Bullish).
By linking structure to momentum, we filter out weak price movements and focus on the true "heartbeat" of the trend.
**2. The "Mashup" Synergy: Structure + Volume + Logic**
This is not a random combination of indicators. Each component serves a specific step in the trading execution sequence:
* **Step 1 (Structure):** The script identifies a Change of Character (CHoCH) based on the MACD peaks described above.
* **Step 2 (Liquidity/Value):** When a CHoCH occurs, the script *automatically* draws a **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)** specifically covering the impulse leg that caused the break. This reveals the "Point of Control" (POC)—the hidden price level where the most volume occurred during the move.
* **Step 3 (The Sniper Entry):** The script creates a "Zone" around that POC. It then waits for Price to retrace into this zone.
* **Step 4 (Confirmation):** Once the zone is touched, the script monitors a lower timeframe (User selectable, default M1) for a fresh MACD crossover to trigger the final entry signal.
**Features**
* **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard:** Monitor the MACD Trend direction across 4 different timeframes simultaneously.
* **Dynamic Trendlines:** Automatically connects confirmed MACD peaks to visualize trend integrity.
* **Fibo Time Zones:** Projects potential future pivot points based on the duration of the previous swing.
* **Alert System:** Integrated alerts for Zone Touches and "Sniper" entries (Zone Touch + LTF Momentum Confirmation).
**How to Use**
1. **Identify Trend:** Look for the CHoCH labels. Green indicates a shift to Bullish, Red to Bearish.
2. **Wait for Pullback:** Do not chase the break. Wait for price to return to the Yellow POC Zone generated by the Volume Profile.
3. **Entry Trigger:** Watch for the "BUY" or "SELL" marks. These appear only when price hits the zone AND the lower-timeframe momentum aligns with the trade direction.
**Settings & Inputs**
* **Global MACD:** Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection (Default 12, 26, 9).
* **Sniper Entry:** Select the timeframe used for the final confirmation (e.g., use M1 confirmation for an H1 chart structure).
* **VP Settings:** Customize how the Volume Profile looks on the chart.

MTF Trading Helper & Multi AlertsHi dear fellows, I´m using this indicator for my trading, so every then and when I will publish updates on this one.
This indicator should help to identify the right trading setup. I´m using it to trade index futures and stocks.
MTF Trading Helper & Multi Alerts
Overview
This indicator provides a clear visual representation of trend direction across three timeframes. It helps traders identify trend alignment, potential reversals, and optimal entry/exit points by analyzing the relationship between different smoothed timeframes.
You can set up multiple alerts (as one alert in Tradingview)
How It Works
The indicator displays three colored circles representing the smoothed candle direction on three different timeframes:
Bottom plot represents the overall trend direction, the plot in the middle shows intermediate momentum, and the one on top captures short-term price action.
When a color change occurs, the circle appears in a darker shade to highlight the transition.
🟢 Green = Bullish - 🔴 Red = Bearish
This change can also trigger multiple alerts.
Timeframe Settings - important
Choose between two trading setups, either for:
Intraday 1-minute candles or 1h for swing trading. Set up your chart accordingly to that timeframe.
Intraday | 1Min chart candles
Swing | 1 hour chart candles
Plots
TF3 represents the overall trend direction (bottom), TF2 shows intermediate momentum (middle), and TF1 captures short-term price action (top).
Interpretation & Strategy Alerts
1. Trend Bullish (TF3 turns Green)
The higher timeframe has shifted bullish - a potential new uptrend is forming.
Example: You're watching ES-mini on the Intraday setting. TF3 turns green after being red for several days. This signals the broader trend may be shifting bullish - consider looking for long opportunities.
2. Trend Bearish (TF3 turns Red)
The higher timeframe has shifted bearish - consider protecting profits or exiting long positions.
Example: You hold a long position in Es-mini. TF3 turns red, indicating the macro trend is weakening. This is your signal to take profits or tighten stop-losses.
3. Possible Accumulation (TF3 Red + TF2 turns Green)
While the overall trend is still bearish, the medium timeframe shows buying pressure. Smart money may be accumulating - watch closely for a potential trend reversal.
Example: Es-mini has been in a downtrend (TF3 red). Suddenly TF2 turns green while TF3 remains red. This could indicate institutional buying before a reversal. Don't buy yet, but add it to your watchlist and wait for confirmation.
4. Trend Continuation (TF3 Green + TF2 turns Green)
The medium timeframe realigns with the bullish macro trend - a potential buying opportunity as momentum returns to the uptrend.
Example: Es-mini is in an uptrend (TF3 green). After a pullback, TF2 was red but now turns green again. The pullback appears to be over - this is a trend continuation signal and a potential entry point.
5. Buy the Dip (TF3 + TF2 Green + TF1 turns Green)
All timeframes are now aligned bullish. The short-term pullback is complete and price is resuming the uptrend - optimal entry for short-term trades.
Example: Es-mini is trending up (TF3 + TF2 green). A small dip caused TF1 to turn red briefly. When TF1 turns green again, all three timeframes are aligned - this is your "Buy the Dip" signal with strong confirmation.
6. Sell the Dip (TF3 + TF2 Green + TF1 turns Red)
Short-term weakness within an uptrend. This can be used to take partial profits, wait for a better entry, or trail stops tighter.
Example: You're long on ES-mini with TF3 and TF2 green. TF1 turns red, indicating short-term selling pressure. Consider taking partial profits here and wait for TF1 to turn green again (Buy the Dip) to add back to your position.
How to Use
Choose your scenario: Select "Intraday" 1min-chart for day trading or "Swing" 1h-chart for swingtrading
Enable alerts: Turn on the strategy alerts you want to receive in the settings
Wait for signals: Let the indicator notify you when conditions align
Confirm with price action: Always use additional confirmation before entering trades
Best Practices
✅ Use TF3 as your trend filter - only take longs when TF3 turns green and hold them :)
✅ Use TF2 for timing - wait for TF2 to align with TF3 for swings.
✅ Use TF2 for early entries (accumulation phase) when TF3 is still red. Watch out!
✅ Use TF1 for entries when TF3 and TF2 are green. Only buy if TF1 is red. Keep it short and sweet.
✅ Combine with support/resistance levels for better entries
✅ Use proper risk management - no indicator is 100% accurate

Trendshift [CHE]Trendshift — First-Shift Regime Turns with Premium/Discount Context
Summary
Trendshift highlights the first confirmed directional structure shift in price and overlays a premium or discount context based on the most recent structural range. It identifies the major swing levels, detects a regime transition when price closes beyond these levels with optional ATR-based conviction, and marks only the first shift per direction to reduce repetition and noise. The indicator then establishes a premium or discount band around the break and tints the background when price operates in either region. This produces a clean regime-aware view that emphasizes only the earliest actionable turn while maintaining contextual bias information.
Motivation: Why this design?
Conventional swing-based structure tools often fire repeated signals after each minor break, especially in volatile environments. This leads to cluttered charts and little informational value. Trendshift focuses on the core trading need: isolating the first confirmed change in directional structure and providing a premium or discount context after the break. By limiting signals to the initial flip and suppressing further markers until direction reverses again, the script reduces noise and highlights only the structural event that materially matters. The band logic further addresses the challenge of distinguishing contextual extremes and avoiding trades taken too late after a shift.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline reference: Most structure indicators repeatedly plot every new break of a swing high or swing low.
Differences:
Only the first confirmed bullish or bearish shift is plotted until the opposite direction occurs.
ATR-filtered breakout validation to reduce false breaks during volatility spikes.
A reduced premium and discount band derived from the breakout candle and prior swing structure.
Tinted background for contextual positioning rather than explicit entry signals.
Practical effect:
Fewer but more meaningful shift markers.
Clear visual context of where price operates relative to the structural band.
Cleaner regime transitions and less chart clutter.
How it works (technical)
The indicator continuously evaluates major swing highs and lows using a symmetric window length. When a swing is confirmed, the script stores its price and bar index. A structure shift occurs when price closes beyond the most recent major swing in the opposite direction. Optional ATR filtering requires the breakout distance to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold.
Upon a confirmed shift, the script sets a regime state that remains active until a new shift or an optional timeout. It also establishes a structural band anchored between the breakout candle extremum and the prior opposite swing. The band informs the premium and discount boundaries, each representing a quarter subdivision.
Only the first shift event per direction generates a visual triangle marker. The band is validated by comparing its height to ATR to avoid extremely narrow structures. Background tinting activates whenever price resides within the premium or discount zones. Persistent variables maintain previous structural states and prevent re-triggering until direction reverses.
Parameter Guide
Swing length (default 5): Controls the number of bars used on each side of a swing. Smaller values are more reactive; larger values reduce noise.
Use ATR filter (default true): Requires breakout strength beyond the swing to exceed an ATR-scaled threshold. Disabling increases signal frequency.
ATR length (default 14): Controls volatility estimation for breakout filtering and band validation.
Break ATR multiplier (default 1.0): Higher values require stronger breakouts, reducing false shifts.
Enable framework (default true): Activates the premium and discount context logic.
Persist band on timeout (default true): Retains the current band after a regime timeout.
Min band size ATR mult (default 0.5): Rejects extremely small bands and prevents unrealistic tinting.
Regime timeout bars (default 500): Resets the regime after extended inactivity.
Invert colors (default false): Swaps premium and discount tint color assignments.
Show zone tint (default true): Toggles background shading.
Show shift markers (default true): Enables or disables the first-shift triangles.
Reading & Interpretation
A green or red tint signals that price is operating in the discount or premium region of the most recent structural band. These regions are derived from the breakout event and the prior swing. A green triangle below a bar indicates the first bullish structure shift after a bearish regime. A red triangle above a bar indicates the first bearish shift after a bullish regime. No further markers appear until direction reverses. When tint is active, price location within the band offers simple contextual bias without providing explicit entries.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Treat the first bullish marker as the earliest confirmation of a potential up-regime and the first bearish marker for a potential down-regime. Use price location relative to the premium and discount zones as context for continuation or mean-reversion setups.
Structure-based execution: Combine with simple swing highs and lows to refine entry points within discount after a bullish shift or within premium after a bearish shift.
Higher-timeframe overlays: Apply the indicator on higher timeframes to define macro structure, then trade on lower timeframes using the band as a contextual anchor.
Risk management: When price stays in premium during a bearish regime or in discount during a bullish regime, consider protective actions or position management adjustments.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
The script uses only confirmed swing points and closed-bar conditions, so repainting from future bars does not occur except the inherent delay of pivot confirmation. No higher-timeframe security calls are used, avoiding HTF repaint paths.
Performance impact is minimal because the script uses no loops or arrays and relies on persistent variables. The maximum bars back setting is five-thousand, required for swing lookback. Known limitations include quiet behavior during long consolidations, occasional delayed recognition of shifts due to swing confirmation, and limited effectiveness during large market gaps where extremum logic may be distorted.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tunin g
Increase the swing length for smoother trend shifts and fewer signals.
Decrease the swing length for more sensitivity.
Raise the ATR breakout multiplier to reduce noise in volatile markets.
Lower the band size requirement to make premium and discount zones more active on slower markets.
Extend the regime timeout for slow-moving assets.

Fractals Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Fractals Trend is a trend-following overlay that leverages fractal swing points to define dynamic support and resistance zones. By storing and averaging recent high and low fractals, it determines trend direction and plots a smooth band that flips depending on market bias—displaying support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Fractal Swings: Fractals are identified using a customizable length. A high fractal forms when the current high is the highest in a range; a low fractal when the current low is the lowest.
Fractal Memory: The indicator keeps a rolling window of recent high and low fractals inside arrays, limited by the user-defined storage quantity.
switch
upperF => FracrtalsUpper.push(high )
lowerF => FracrtalsLower.push(low )
FracrtalsUpper.size() > fCount => FracrtalsUpper.shift()
FracrtalsLower.size() > fCount => FracrtalsLower.shift()
Trend Detection: Price crossing above the average, min/max or median high fractals signals an uptrend; crossing below average, min/max or median low fractals signals a downtrend.
Dynamic Band Plotting: Depending on the trend, the script plots the average of either the upper or lower fractals as a trailing support or resistance line.
Visual Confirmation: Fractal labels appear as triangle markers at highs and lows, providing additional structural context.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatically detects high and low fractals using customizable length.
Stores a defined number of fractals to smooth out noise and reduce false signals.
Flips trend bias dynamically with colored band and smooth transitions.
Plots fractal-based support in bullish trends, resistance in bearish trends.
Triangle markers show real-time fractal highs and lows.
Fully configurable visuals, color themes, and fractal detection logic.
Clean, non-intrusive overlay that works on any market or timeframe.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the colored band as a directional filter: green = uptrend (support), orange = downtrend (resistance).
Combine with entry signals or break/retest strategies when price approaches the band.
Use triangle markers to confirm structural swing points.
Adjust Fractals Length to tune sensitivity—shorter values detect quicker shifts, longer values reduce noise.
Change the fractal bands type to adapt trend detection to different market conditions.
Use in conjunction with momentum or volume tools for confluence.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Fractals Trend offers a lightweight, intuitive way to track market bias using price structure alone. Its smart switching logic and clean visuals make it a powerful tool for trend traders seeking structure-based dynamic S/R—without laggy moving averages or overcomplicated signals.
RSI Divergence (Regular + Hidden, @darshakssc)This indicator detects regular and hidden divergence between price and RSI, using confirmed swing highs and swing lows (pivots) on both series. It is designed as a visual analysis tool, not as a signal generator or trading system.
The goal is to highlight moments where price action and RSI momentum move in different directions, which some traders study as potential early warnings of trend exhaustion or trend continuation. All divergence signals are only drawn after a pivot is fully confirmed, helping to avoid repainting.
The script supports four divergence types:
Regular Bullish Divergence
Regular Bearish Divergence
Hidden Bullish Divergence
Hidden Bearish Divergence
Each type is drawn with a different color and labeled clearly on the chart.
Core Concepts Used
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The script uses standard RSI, calculated on a configurable input source (default: close) and length (default: 14).
RSI is treated purely as a momentum oscillator – the script does not enforce oversold/overbought interpretations.
2. Pivots / Swings
The indicator defines swing highs and swing lows using ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow():
A swing high forms when a bar’s high is higher than a specified number of bars to the left and to the right.
A swing low forms when a bar’s low is lower than a specified number of bars to the left and to the right.
The same pivot logic is applied to both price and RSI.
Because pivots require “right side” bars to form, the indicator:
Waits for the full pivot to be confirmed (no forward-looking referencing beyond the rightBars parameter).
Only then considers that pivot for divergence detection.
This helps prevent repainting of divergence signals.
How Divergence Is Detected
The script always uses the two most recent confirmed pivots for both price and RSI. It tracks:
Last two swing lows in price and RSI
Last two swing highs in price and RSI
Their pivot bar indexes and values
A basic minimum distance filter between the pivots (in bars) is also applied to reduce noise.
1. Regular Bullish Divergence
Condition:
Price makes a lower low (LL) between the last two lows
RSI makes a higher low (HL) over the same two pivot lows
The RSI difference between the two lows is greater than or equal to the user-defined minimum (Min RSI Difference)
The two low pivots are separated by at least Min Bars Between Swings
Interpretation:
Some traders view this as bearish momentum weakening while price prints a new low. The script only marks this structure; it does not assume any outcome.
On the chart:
Drawn between the previous and current price swing lows
Labeled: “Regular Bullish”
Color: Green (by default in the script)
2. Regular Bearish Divergence
Condition:
Price makes a higher high (HH) between the last two highs
RSI makes a lower high (LH) over the same two pivot highs
RSI difference exceeds Min RSI Difference
Pivots are separated by at least Min Bars Between Swings
Interpretation:
Some traders see this as bullish momentum weakening while price prints a new high. Again, the indicator simply highlights this divergence.
On the chart:
Drawn between the previous and current price swing highs
Labeled: “Regular Bearish”
Color: Red
3. Hidden Bullish Divergence
Condition:
Price makes a higher low (HL) between the last two lows
RSI makes a lower low (LL) over the same two lows
RSI difference exceeds Min RSI Difference
Pivots meet the minimum distance requirement
Interpretation:
Some traders interpret hidden bullish divergence as a potential trend continuation signal within an existing uptrend. The indicator does not classify trends; it just tags the pattern when price and RSI pivots meet the conditions.
On the chart:
Drawn between the previous and current price swing lows
Labeled: “Hidden Bullish”
Color: Teal
4. Hidden Bearish Divergence
Condition:
Price makes a lower high (LH) between the last two highs
RSI makes a higher high (HH) over those highs
RSI difference exceeds Min RSI Difference
Pivots meet the minimum distance filter
Interpretation:
Some traders associate hidden bearish divergence with potential downtrend continuation, but again, this script only visualizes the structure.
On the chart:
Drawn between the previous and current price swing highs
Labeled: “Hidden Bearish”
Color: Orange
Inputs and Settings
1. RSI Settings
RSI Source – Price source for RSI (default: close).
RSI Length – Period for RSI calculation (default: 14).
These control the responsiveness of the RSI. Shorter lengths may show more frequent divergence; longer lengths smooth the signal.
2. Swing / Pivot Settings
Left Swing Bars (leftBars)
Right Swing Bars (rightBars)
These define how strict the pivot detection is:
Higher values → fewer, more significant swings
Lower values → more swings, more signals
Because the script uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow, a pivot is only confirmed once rightBars candles have closed after the candidate bar. This is an intentional design to reduce repainting and make pivots stable.
3. Divergence Filters
Min Bars Between Swings (Min Bars Between Swings)
Requires a minimum bar distance between the two pivots used to form divergence.
Helps avoid clutter from pivots that are too close to each other.
Min RSI Difference (Min RSI Difference)
Requires a minimum absolute difference between RSI values at the two pivots.
Filters out very minor changes in RSI that may not be meaningful.
4. Visibility Toggles
Show Regular Divergence
Show Hidden Divergence
You can choose to display:
Both regular and hidden divergence, or
Only regular divergence, or
Only hidden divergence
This is useful if you prefer to focus on one type of structure.
5. Alerts
Enable Alerts
When enabled, the script exposes four alert conditions:
Regular Bullish Divergence Confirmed
Regular Bearish Divergence Confirmed
Hidden Bullish Divergence Confirmed
Hidden Bearish Divergence Confirmed
Each alert fires after the corresponding divergence has been fully confirmed based on the pivot and bar confirmation logic. The script does not issue rapid or intrabar signals; it uses confirmed historical conditions.
You can set these in the TradingView Alerts dialog by choosing this indicator and selecting the desired condition.
Visual Elements
On the main price chart, the indicator:
Draws a line between the two price pivots involved in the divergence.
Adds a small label at the latest pivot, describing the divergence type.
Colors are used to differentiate divergence categories (Green/Red/Teal/Orange).
This makes it easy to visually scan the chart for zones where price and RSI have diverged.
What to Look For (Analytical Use)
This indicator is intended as a visual helper, especially when:
You want to quickly see where price made new highs or lows while RSI did not confirm them in the same way.
You are studying momentum exhaustion, shifts, or continuation using RSI divergence as one of many tools.
You want to compare divergence occurrences across different timeframes or instruments.
Important:
The indicator does not tell you when to enter or exit trades.
It does not rank or validate the “quality” of a divergence.
Divergence can persist or fail; it is not a guarantee of reversal or continuation.
Many traders combine divergence analysis with:
Higher timeframe context
Trend filters (moving averages, structure)
Support/resistance zones or liquidity areas
Volume, structure breaks, or other confirmations

Auto Fibonacci RetraceNOTE: This script is for educational purposes only.
This Pine Script v6 indicator automates the drawing of Fibonacci retracement levels on a TradingView chart based on detected pivot highs and lows. It's designed to identify the most recent swing points in a price trend and plot horizontal lines at standard Fibonacci ratios (0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%), along with optional labels for each level. The script is useful for traders who want dynamic, hands-free Fib retracements that update as new pivots form, helping to spot potential support/resistance zones without manual intervention.
Key Features
Automatic Pivot Detection: Uses TradingView's built-in ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow functions to find recent swing highs and lows. The sensitivity is adjustable via user inputs for "Left Bars" and "Right Bars" (default: 5 each), which define how many bars are checked on either side to confirm a pivot.
Trend Direction Awareness: Determines if the current swing is an uptrend (recent high after low) or downtrend (recent low after high) and orients the Fib levels accordingly—starting from the low in uptrends or high in downtrends.
Dynamic Drawing:
Plots dashed horizontal lines extending to the right of the chart for each Fib level.
Colors are predefined for visual distinction (e.g., blue for 23.6%, orange for 61.8%).
Lines and labels are cleared and redrawn only when a new pivot is detected or on initial load to prevent chart clutter.
Customizable Labels: Optional labels show the percentage (e.g., "61.8%") and can be positioned on the "Left" (at the swing start) or "Right" (pinned to the current bar, updating dynamically). Labels use semi-transparent backgrounds for readability.
Performance Optimizations: Uses arrays to manage lines and labels efficiently, with reverse-indexed loops for safe deletion. The max_bars_back=500 ensures it handles historical data without excessive computation.
User Inputs:
Left/Right Bars: Tune pivot detection (higher values for major trends, lower for shorter swings).
Show Fib Levels/Labels: Toggle visibility.
Label Position: "Left" or "Right" for placement flexibility.
Usage Instructions
Adding to Chart: Copy-paste into TradingView's Pine Editor, save as a new indicator, and add it to your chart via the "Indicators" menu.
Customization: Adjust inputs in the indicator settings panel. For example, set Left/Right Bars to 10 for daily charts in strong trends.
Best Practices:
Use on trending markets (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto like BTC/USD); avoid choppy sideways action.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI for overbought/oversold confirmation) for better trade signals.
Test on historical data—zoom out to see how it redraws on past swings.
Limitations: Relies on pivot functions, so it may lag slightly (pivots confirm after "Right Bars"). Not a trading strategy—use for analysis only. No alerts built-in, but you can add alertcondition if extending it.
Potential Enhancements: Add extensions (e.g., 161.8%), user-defined levels, or alerts on price touches via simple modifications.
This script provides a clean, efficient way to visualize Fib retracements automatically, saving time compared to manual drawing. If you need further tweaks or integration into a full strategy, let me know!
Geometric Price-Time Triangle Calculator═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
GEOMETRIC PRICE-TIME TRIANGLE CALCULATOR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
Calculates Point C of a geometric triangle using different rotation angles from any selected price swing. Based on Bradley F. Cowan's Price-Time Vector (PTV) methods from "Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures and Cycles."
📐 WHAT IT DOES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Select two points (A and B) on any swing, choose an angle, and the indicator calculates where Point C would be mathematically. It's just vector rotation applied to price charts.
This shows you where Point C lands in both price AND time based on pure geometry - not a prediction, just a calculation.
🎯 FEATURES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✓ 10 Different Angles
• Gann ratios: 18.435° (1x3), 26.565° (1x2), 45° (1x1), 63.435° (2x1), 71.565° (3x1)
• Other angles: 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°
✓ Visual Triangle
• Adjustable colors and opacity for points A, B, C
• Line styles: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
• Extend lines: None, Left, Right, Both
✓ Crosshair at Point C
• Shows where Point C is located
• Vertical line = bar position
• Horizontal line = price level
✓ Data Table
• Shows all calculations
• Price-to-Bar ratio
• Point C location (price and bars from A/B)
• Toggle on/off
🔧 HOW TO USE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Pick your swing start date (Point A)
2. Pick your swing end date (Point B) - make sure these dates capture the actual high/low of your swing
3. Choose an angle from the dropdown
4. Look at Point C - that's where the geometry puts it
Different angles = different Point C locations. Whether price actually goes there is up to the market.
📊 THE ANGLES
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- 18.435° (1x3) - Shallow rotation
- 26.565° (1x2) - Moderate rotation
- 45° (1x1) - Gann's balanced ratio
- 60° - Equilateral triangle (default)
- 63.435° (2x1) - Steeper rotation
- 71.565° (3x1) - Very steep rotation
- 90° - Right angle
- 120°-150° - Obtuse angles
💡 PRACTICAL USE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
→ See where geometric patterns would complete
→ Test if your market respects certain angles
→ Find where multiple angles converge
→ Compare projected Point C to actual price action
→ Use 90° to see symmetrical price/time relationships
→ Backtest historical swings to see what worked
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Takes your AB swing
2. Calculates the BA vector (reverse direction)
3. Normalizes price and time using Price-to-Bar ratio
4. Rotates the vector by your selected angle
5. Converts back to chart coordinates
Basic trigonometry. That's all it is.
📚 BACKGROUND
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Based on Bradley F. Cowan's Price-Time Vector (PTV) concept from "Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures and Cycles" and W.D. Gann's geometric angle analysis. Cowan observed that markets sometimes complete geometric patterns. This tool calculates where those patterns would complete mathematically. Whether price actually respects these geometric relationships is something you need to test yourself.
⚠️ IMPORTANT
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- This is geometric calculation, not prediction
- Point C shows where the math puts it, not where price will go
- Some angles might work for your market, some won't
- Test it yourself on historical data
- Price-to-Bar Ratio stays constant regardless of angle
- Don't trade based on this alone
- Works on all timeframes and assets
🎨 CUSTOMIZATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Show/hide triangle
- Individual colors for A, B, C points
- Adjust opacity (0-100)
- Line styles for each triangle side
- Extend lines left/right/both/none
- Show/hide data table
- Crosshair color and width
- Customizable table colors

Auto Fib Extension Targets A-B-C MartenBGAuto Fib Extension Targets A-B-C is a Pine v6 indicator that projects Fibonacci extension targets from the most recent validated A-B-C swing. It works in both directions and is designed for trend continuation planning and take-profit placement.
How it works:
Detects pivots with user-defined left and right bars.
Builds bullish swings from L-H-L and bearish swings from H-L-H.
Validates C by a retracement filter (min to max, relative to AB) and an optional HL or LH condition.
Projects targets from point C using C + r*(B − A) for uptrends and C − r*(A − B) for downtrends.
Draws levels 1.000, 1.272, 1.382, 1.618, optional 2.000, plus an optional 1.272-1.382 target zone.
Optionally shows dotted A-B and B-C segments for quick visual context.
Key settings:
Pivot sensitivity: leftBars and rightBars.
Correction validation: minRetr and maxRetr, HL or LH requirement toggle.
Level visibility: enable or disable each ratio and the target zone.
Extension length: horizontal extension in bars.
Visuals: toggle A-B-C segment display.
Why use it:
Fast projection of realistic continuation targets.
Clear confluence when extensions align with prior highs, liquidity pools, or S/R.
Works on any symbol and timeframe once pivots are confirmed.
Notes:
Pivots confirm after rightBars bars, so targets appear only once a swing is confirmed. This reduces repaint-like behavior typical for unfinished pivots.
No alerts are included by design. If you want alerts or manual A-B-C locking and click-to-select anchors, ask and I will add them.
Pullback & ATR Trailing Strategy※日本語は英文の次に記載あります。
Overview
This indicator combines short-term RSI pullback/rebound signals with long-term RSI divergence to visualize potential buy and sell opportunities.
It also plots ATR-based trailing stops and partial take-profit lines, making it suitable for day trading and short-term trading.
Alerts are triggered when signal conditions are met.
Key Features
Detect short-term RSI pullbacks/rebounds (default 6 periods)
Detect divergences on long-term RSI
Visualize buy/sell signals with labels
Display ATR-based trailing stop and partial take-profit lines
Trigger alerts when conditions are met
Settings Explanation
Short-term RSI Length (rsiShortLen) Period for short-term RSI used to detect pullbacks or rebounds
Pullback Threshold (levelLow) RSI level below which a buy signal is considered
Rebound Threshold (levelHigh) RSI level above which a sell signal is considered
Long-term Timeframe (longTF) Timeframe used for divergence detection
Long-term RSI Length (longRSILen) Period for RSI on the long-term timeframe, used for divergence detection
Pivot Width Left / Right (pivotLeft / pivotRight)
Determines how we detect swing highs/lows (peaks and valleys).
For example, with pivotLeft=3 and pivotRight=3, a bar is considered a swing high if it is higher than the 3 bars to its left and 3 bars to its right.
Larger numbers detect only bigger swings, smaller numbers also detect smaller swings.
ATR Length (atrLen) Period for ATR calculation for trailing stops
ATR Multiplier (atrMult) Multiplier for ATR to calculate trailing stop distance

Ultimate📖 Indicator Description – Ultimate
The Ultimate Indicator is a complete charting framework that combines linear regression channels, dynamic deviation bands, EMA ribbons, volatility spreads, and entry/exit markers. It is designed to help traders visualize trend direction, potential reversals, and trade setups with precision.
🔹 What You See on the Chart
Channel Lines (Linear Regression Bands)
Green dotted line (median): Fair value trendline based on regression.
Red dashed line (upper band): Dynamic resistance zone.
Blue dashed line (lower band): Dynamic support zone.
Mid-bands (thin dotted red/blue): Halfway between median and outer bands, useful for scaling entries or partial exits.
🔹 EMA Ribbon (Light Green Shades)
Multiple EMAs (5, 8, 13, 21, 34) plotted in progressively lighter green.
Helps visualize momentum shifts and trend strength.
Ribbon turns more aqua/green when short-term EMAs align bullishly.
🙌Markers on Price
🔴 Red Circle (Dot): Short entry signal (price rejecting upper deviation band).
🔵 Blue Circle (Dot): Long entry signal (price bouncing off lower deviation band).
❌ Red X: Peak formation detected, potential short setup (not always valid).
🔷 Blue Diamond: Trough formation detected, potential long setup (not always valid).
Numbers Above/Below Candles
🔴Red numbers (above peaks): % spread from the bottom to the peak, showing upward volatility.
🔵 Blue numbers (below troughs): % spread from the top to the trough, showing downward volatility.
These values help traders gauge the strength of recent swings and compare volatility expansions.
🔹 Signal Logic🔹
🔵Long Signal (Blue Circle):
Forms when price makes a trough and crosses back above the lower regression band.
Confirms potential upside reversal with stop-loss guided by ATR or swing low.
🔴Short Signal (Red Circle):
Forms when price makes a peak and crosses below the upper regression band.
Confirms potential downside reversal with stop-loss guided by ATR or swing high.
❌ Peaks (Red X):
Indicate local tops. Not all peaks convert into shorts, but they warn of resistance zones.
🔹Troughs (Blue Diamonds):
Indicate local bottoms. Not all troughs convert into longs, but they warn of support zones.
🔹 Alerts
When a valid long or short setup is confirmed, an alert fires with:
Ticker name
Entry price
Suggested position size (Quantity)
Stop loss level (ATR-based or HL-based)
Take profit level (calculated by reward multiple)
🔹 Inputs & Customization
Quantity: Lot size suggestion.
Deviation: Multiplier for regression channel width.
Take Profit: Risk-to-reward multiplier.
Stop Loss: ATR or High/Low based.
Trend Lines: Choose between extended or fixed channels.
Period: Lookback window for regression.
Spread Percentages: Toggle volatility labels on/off.
🔹 How to Use
Trend Following: Ride price inside the channel using EMA ribbon alignment.
Reversal Trading: Enter at deviation extremes with confirmation signals.
Volatility Mapping: Use spread % labels to measure the strength of market swings.
Risk Management: ATR-based stops adapt to volatility, while HL stops give structural support/resistance.
✅ In summary:
The Ultimate Indicator is not just a regression channel—it’s a multi-layered system that highlights trend bias, entry/exit signals, volatility spreads, and adaptive risk levels. It allows traders to see at a glance whether the market is trending, ranging, or preparing for a reversal.
Cnagda Liquidit Trading SystemCnagda Liquidit Trading System helps spot where price is likely to trap traders and reverse, then gives simple, actionable Level to entry, place SL, and take profits with confidence. It blends imbalance zones, trend bias, order blocks, liquidity pools, high-probability fake Signal, and context-aware candle patterns into one clean workflow.
🟩🟥 Imbalance boxes: “Crowd rushed, gaps left”
What it is: Green/red boxes mark fast, one-sided moves where price “skipped” orders—think FVG-like zones that often get revisited.
Why it helps: Price frequently pulls back to “fill” these zones, creating clean retest entries with logical stops.
⏩How to use:
Green box = potential demand retest; Red box = potential supply retest. Enter on pullback into box, not on first impulse. Put stop on far side of box and aim first targets at recent swing points.
↕️ Swing bias (HH/HL vs LH/LL): “Which way is the road?”
What it is: Higher-highs/higher-lows = up-bias; Lower-highs/lower-lows = down-bias. system plots Buy/Sell OB levels aligned with that bias.
Why it helps: Trading with the broader flow reduces “hero trades” against institutions. Bias gives clearer entries and cleaner drawdowns.
⏩How to use:
Up-bias: look for long on Buy OB retests. Down-bias: look for short on Sell OB retests. Wait for a small rejection/engulfing to confirm before triggering.
🧱Order blocks: “Where big players remember”
What it is: last opposite-colored candle before an impulsive move—these zones often hold memory and reaction. system plots these as Buy/Sell OB lines.
Why it helps: Many breakouts pull back to the origin. Good entries often happen on retest, not on the breakout chase.
⏩ How to use:
Let price return into the OB, show wick rejection, and decent volume. Enter with stop beyond OB; define risk-reward before entry.
📊Volume coloring: “How Volume is move?”
What it is: Bar color reflects relative volume; inside bars are black. The dashboard also shows Volume and “Volume vs Prev.”
Why it helps: Patterns without volume often fade; volume validates strength and intent of moves.
⏩ How to use:
Favor entries where imbalance/OB/liquidity-grab coincide with higher volume. If volume is weak, reduce size or skip.
🧲 BSL/SSL liquidity pools: “Fishing for stops”
What it is: Equal highs cluster stops above (BSL); equal lows cluster stops below (SSL). system plots these and highlights the nearest one (“magnet”).
Why it helps: Price often sweeps these pools to trigger stops before reversing. This is a prime trap-reversal location.
⏩ How to use:
Watch nearest BSL/SSL. If price wicks through and closes back inside, anticipate a reversal. Trade reaction, not first poke. When price closes beyond, consider that pool mitigated and move on.
🟢🔴 Advanced liquidity grab: “Catch fakeout”
What it is: Bullish grab = makes a new low beyond a prior low but closes back above it, with a long lower wick, small body, and higher volume. Bearish is mirror. Labeled automatically.
Why it helps: It exposes trap moves (stop hunts) and often precedes true direction.
⏩ How to use:
Best when it aligns with a nearby imbalance/OB and supportive volume. Enter on reversal candle break or on retest. Stop goes beyond sweep wick.
🧠 Smart candlestick patterns (only in right place)
What it is: Engulfing, Hammer, Shooting Star, Hanging Man, Doji (with high volume), Morning/Evening Star, Piercing—but marked “effective” only if context (swing/trend/location) agrees.
Why it helps: same pattern in the wrong place is noise; in the right place, it’s signal.
⏩ How to use:
Location first (BSL/SSL/OB/imbalance), then pattern. Treat pattern as trigger/confirmation—one fresh label shows to keep chart clean.
🧭 Dashboard: “Context in a glance”
⏩ Reversal Level: current swing anchor—expect turns or reactions nearby; great for alerts and planning.
⏩ Volume vs Prev + Volume: Strength meter for signal candle—higher adds conviction.
⏩ Nearest Pool: next “magnet” area—look for sweeps/rejections there.
🧩Step-by-step trading flow (with mindset)
⏩ Set bias: HH/HL = long bias, LH/LL = short bias. Counter-trend only on clean sweeps with strong confirmation.
⏩ Find magnet: Check Nearest Pool (BSL/SSL). Focus attention there; it saves screen time.
⏩ Wait for event: Look for a sweep/grab label, or sharp rejection at pool/OB/imbalance. Avoid FOMO.
⏩ Add confluence: Stack 2–3 of these—imbalance box, OB, contextual pattern, supportive volume.
⏩Plan entry: Bullish: trigger above reversal candle high or take retest of FVG/OB. Stop below sweep wick/zone. Target at least 1:1.5–1:2.
Bearish: mirror above.
⏩Manage smartly: Take partials, move to breakeven or trail thoughtfully. Don’t drag stops inside zone out of emotion.
🎛️ Parameter tuning (to reduce human error)
⏩ swingLen: Smaller = faster but noisier; larger = cleaner but slower. Backtest first, then go live.
⏩ Tolerance (ATR or percent): ATR tolerance adapts to volatility (good for fast markets and lower TFs). Start around 0.15–0.30. In calm markets, try percent 0.05–0.15%.
⏩ minBarsGap: Start with 3–5 so equal highs/lows are truly equal—reduces false pools.
❌Common mistakes → ✅ Better habits
⏩Chasing every breakout → Wait for sweep/rejection, then confirm.
⏩Ignoring volume → Validate strength; cut size or skip on weak volume.
⏩Losing history of pools → If reviewing/backtesting, keep mitigated pools visible (dashed/faded).
⏩Over-tight tolerance/too small swingLen → Increases false signals; backtest to find balance.
📝 checklist (before entry)
⏩ Is there a nearby BSL/SSL and did a sweep/grab happen there?
⏩ Is there a close imbalance/OB that price can retest?
⏩ Do we have an effective pattern plus supportive volume?
⏩Is the stop beyond the wick/zone and RR ≥ 1:1.5?

Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.

ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVG (Crypto‑friendly)
A clean Smart Money Concepts tool that marks Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Shift (MSS), Order Blocks (OB), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with bold, easy‑to‑see visuals. Built for crypto but works on any market and timeframe.
What it does
• BOS & MSS detection with optional body/wick logic
• Order Blocks: auto‑draws the last opposite candle before a BOS, keeps only the most recent N, and fades when mitigated
• FVGs: 3‑candle gaps with a minimum size filter and a cap on how many to keep
• HTF Swings (optional): plots higher‑timeframe pivot highs/lows for top‑down context
• Alerts for BOS/MSS and FVG formation
Inputs
• Swing pivot length (default 3): sensitivity for structure pivots
• Use candle bodies for breaks: close vs level (on) or wicks (off)
• Show BOS/MSS labels, Show FVG, Show Order Blocks
• Min FVG size (ticks) and Max boxes to keep for FVG/OB
• OB uses candle body: body range vs full wick range
• Show higher timeframe swings + HTF timeframe
• Bullish/Bearish colors
How it works
• BOS triggers when price breaks the last opposite swing.
• MSS flags when the break flips the prior bias.
• OB is the most recent opposite candle prior to BOS; it’s marked and later greyed out once price closes through it (mitigation).
• FVG is detected when candle 1’s high < candle 3’s low (bear) or candle 1’s low > candle 3’s high (bull).
Alerts included
• BOS Up / BOS Down
• MSS Up / MSS Down
• FVG Up / FVG Down
Tips
• Start on 15m/1h for crypto, pivot length 3–5.
• Turn Use candle bodies ON for stricter confirmations, OFF for more signals.
• If boxes look cluttered, lower “Max boxes to keep.”
Note: This is a visual/educational tool, not financial advice. Always confirm with your own plan and risk management.
