TuxAlgo Plus a SMC and Trap Toolkit V0.98r1 by McTogaThe “TuxAlgo Plus” script is a powerful, standalone, conceptual open-source project and self-sufficient “smart money toolkit” with automatic trap detection (SMT), liquidity grabs, FVG confluence, and complete bot setup signals for TV charts in the “H1 to H6” time frame and daily charts. The script is used to improve SMC/trap analyses, i.e., the structure and visualization logic for TradingView charts have been expanded in the “TuxAlgo++” project in line with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Smart Money Traps (SMT). The SMT block (“Smart Money Traps”) supplements classic smart money concepts with: 1. Detection of bull traps (short setups) and bear traps (long setups) 2. Display of trap boxes in the chart (liquidity grab areas) 3. A bot setup box (table) with ready-made entry/SL/TP levels: as well as age in bars & days and “Valid until ~X d” (remaining term) SMT / bot setup only run on the following timeframes: - H1, H2, H3, H4, H6 This means that traps, labels, and the bot setup box are only displayed on these timeframes Trap definition “Bull Trap (Short Setup)”: - Valid swing high - Swing trend bullish - High (Wick) pierces above the swing high (Liquidity Grab) - Close falls back below the swing high (false breakout) -> Result: Short setup (bull trap), marked in orange Trap definition “Bear Trap (long setup)”: - Valid swing low - Swing trend bearish - Low (wick) pierces below the swing low (liquidity grab) - Close rises above the swing low again (false breakout) -> Result: Long setup (bear trap), marked in blue Entry / SL / TP calculation A price range is taken for each trap: Bull trap (short): - Range = - Entry = point within this range: Entry = hiBT - (hiBT - loBT) * TrapEntryRatio (0..1) -> 0.0 = at the Wick extreme, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = at the Swing level - SL = Wick extreme (upper edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry - R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry - R2 * Risk Bear Trap (Long): - Range = - Entry analogous within the range according to TrapEntryRatio - SL = wick bottom (lower edge of the trap) - Risk = |Entry - SL| - TP1 = Entry + R1 * Risk - TP2 = Entry + R2 * Risk R1 / R2 correspond to the inputs: - botRR1Input = TP1 Risk/Reward (e.g., 1.5R) - botRR2Input = TP2 Risk/Reward (e.g., 3.0R) Age & Validity Each trap stores: - lastTrapBarIndex -> last bar of the trap - Age in bars -> bar_index - lastTrapBarIndex - Age in days (~d) -> AgeBars * BarDurationInDays (depending on TF) Input: trapMaxAgeBars determines how long a trap is valid. The bot setup box is only displayed if: - a trap is present, - AgeBars <= trapMaxAgeBars, - SMT + Box + SMC timeframe are active. Color logic (color blind friendly): - Blue (accentBlue) = fresh traps (Age <= 1/3 MaxAge) - Orange (accentOrange) = medium age - Violet (accentPurple) = old, but still within MaxAge - Gray (accentGray) = expired (> MaxAge) The box also shows “Valid until ~X d” as the remaining term. Day/Night Mode & Colors - chart.bg_color is used to detect dark or light mode. - Text/background colors adjust (light/dark). - Accent colors (blue/orange/purple/gray) are suitable for red/green color blindness. - Trap labels in the chart: - Bull trap label = orange (short setup) - Bear trap label = blue (long setup) - Text color depends on chart mode (dark/light) Typical workflow (example): 1. Select a suitable symbol & SMC timeframe (e.g., H4 or H6). 2. Wait for a bull trap (short) or bear trap (long). 3. Read in the bot setup box: - Direction (long/short) - Entry, SL, TP1, TP2 - Age & “Valid until ~X d” 4. These values can be used as a template for manual trading or external bot/order systems. 5. Position size & leverage must always be calculated separately in your own risk management (e.g., 2% rule). This script does not calculate position sizes.

Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot Unmitigated MTF High Low Pro - Cave Diving Bookmap Heatmap Plot --- ## 📖 Table of Contents 1. (#what-this-indicator-does) 2. (#core-concepts) 3. (#visual-components) 4. (#the-cave-diving-framework) 5. (#how-to-use-it-for-trading) 6. (#settings--customization) 7. (#best-practices) 8. (#common-scenarios) --- ## What This Indicator Does The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*. ### Why "Unmitigated" Matters In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in: - **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels - **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support - **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels - **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster --- ## Core Concepts ### 1. **Sessions & Age** The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity. **Age Categories:** - 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed - 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance - 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days - 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones. ### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking** You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart. **Why this matters:** - Higher timeframe levels have more weight - You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously - Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum ### 3. **Mitigation** A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it: - **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them - **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter. --- ## Visual Components ### 📊 The Dashboard Table Located in the corner of your chart (configurable), the table shows: ``` ┌─────────┬───────────┬────────┬─────┬───────┐ │ Level │ Price │ Points │ Age │ % │ ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↑↑↑↑↑ │ 21,450.25 │ +45.50 │ 8 │ +0.21%│ ← 5th High (Ancient) │ ↑↑↑↑ │ 21,430.00 │ +25.25 │ 5 │ +0.12%│ ← 4th High (Old) │ ↑↑↑ │ 21,420.50 │ +15.75 │ 3 │ +0.07%│ ← 3rd High (Medium) │ ↑↑ │ 21,412.00 │ +7.25 │ 1 │ +0.03%│ ← 2nd High (New) │ ↑ ⚠️ │ 21,408.25 │ +3.50 │ 0 │ +0.02%│ ← 1st High (Proximity Alert!) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 15 mins │ 🟢 │ Δ 8.75 │ 2U │ │ ← Status Row ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ ↓ ⚠️ │ 21,399.50 │ -5.25 │ 0 │ -0.02%│ ← 1st Low (Proximity Alert!) │ ↓↓ │ 21,395.00 │ -9.75 │ 2 │ -0.05%│ ← 2nd Low (Medium) │ ↓↓↓ │ 21,385.25 │ -19.50 │ 4 │ -0.09%│ ← 3rd Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓ │ 21,370.00 │ -34.75 │ 6 │ -0.16%│ ← 4th Low (Old) │ ↓↓↓↓↓ │ 21,350.75 │ -54.00 │ 9 │ -0.25%│ ← 5th Low (Ancient) ├─────────┼───────────┼────────┼─────┼───────┤ │ 📊 15↑ / 12↓ │ ← Statistics (optional) └─────────┴───────────┴────────┴─────┴───────┘ ``` **Reading the Table:** - **Level Column**: Number of arrows indicates position (1-5), color shows age - **Price**: The actual price level - **Points**: Distance from current price (+ for highs, - for lows) - **Age**: Number of full sessions since creation - **%**: Percentage distance from current price - **⚠️**: Proximity alert - price is within threshold distance - **Status Row**: Shows timeframe, direction (🟢 bullish/🔴 bearish), tunnel width (Δ), and Strat pattern ### 📈 Visual Elements on Chart **1. Level Lines** - Horizontal lines showing each unmitigated level - **Color-coded by age**: Bright colors = new, darker = older, deep purple/teal = ancient - **Line style**: Customizable (solid, dashed, dotted) - Automatically turn **yellow** when price gets close (proximity alert) **2. Price Labels** - Show the exact price and age: "21,450.25 (8d)" - Fixed at small size for clean readability - Positioned with configurable offset from current bar **3. Bands (Optional)** - Shaded zones between pairs of unmitigated levels - Default: Between 1st and 2nd levels (the "tunnel") - Can switch to 1st-3rd, 2nd-3rd, or disable entirely - **Upper band** (pink/maroon) - Between unmitigated highs - **Lower band** (blue/teal) - Between unmitigated lows - These represent the "no man's land" or consolidation zones --- ## The Cave Diving Framework This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management. ### 🤿 The Core Metaphor **Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.** #### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions) - **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows) - **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested - **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned - **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit #### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions) - **Light**: Medium intensity colors - **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming - **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back #### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions) - **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue) - **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance - **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required #### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions) - **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal - **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones - **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels - **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error ### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator: - Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart - Shows **⚠️** in the table - Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly" This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply. --- ## How to Use It for Trading ### 🎯 Entry Strategies **1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)** - Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level - Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing - Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns) - **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry **2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)** - Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it) - Enter on the retest of the newly broken level - **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry **3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)** - When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels - Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support - Exit at opposite side or when bands break ### 🚨 Risk Management Rules **The Ancient Level Rule** > Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits. These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there. **The Proximity Exit Rule** > When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out. This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory. **The New Level Filter** > Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence. Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance. ### 📊 Reading Market Structure **Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)** - Unmitigated lows are aging and holding - Price respecting the lower band - Old lows below acting as strong support - **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels **Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)** - Unmitigated highs are aging and holding - Price respecting the upper band - Old highs above acting as strong resistance - **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels **The Tunnel Compression** - When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight - This often precedes a breakout - **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break ### 🔄 Strat Integration The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row: - **1** - Inside bar (consolidation) - **2U** - Broke high only (bullish) - **2D** - Broke low only (bearish) - **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility) Use these with the unmitigated levels: - **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection - **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce - **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops --- ## Settings & Customization ### 📅 Session & Timeframe Settings **HL Interval** (Default: 15 minutes) - The timeframe for high/low calculation - **Lower (1m, 5m)**: More levels, more noise, good for scalping - **Higher (30m, 1H, 4H)**: Fewer levels, stronger significance, good for swing trading - **Recommendation for NQ/ES**: 15m or 30m for day trading, 1H for swing trading **Session Age Threshold** (Default: 2) - How many sessions before a level is considered "old" - Lower = more levels classified as old - Higher = stricter definition of significance ### 📊 Level Display Options **Show Level Lines** - Toggle: Display horizontal lines for each level - **Turn off** if you prefer a cleaner chart and only want the table **Show Level Labels** - Toggle: Display price labels on the chart - **Turn off** for minimal visual clutter **Label Offset** - Distance (in bars) from current price bar to place labels - Increase if labels overlap with price action **Level Line Width & Style** - Customize visual appearance - **Thin solid**: Minimal distraction - **Thick dashed**: High visibility ### 🎨 Age-Based Color Coding Customize colors for each age category (high and low separately): - **New (0-1 sessions)**: Default bright red/green - **Medium (2-3 sessions)**: Default medium intensity - **Old (4+ sessions)**: Default dark red/blue - **Ancient (7+ sessions)**: Default deep purple/teal **Color Strategy Tips:** - Keep ancient levels in highly contrasting colors - Use opacity (transparency) if you want subtler lines - Match your chart's color scheme for aesthetic coherence ### 🎯 Band Settings **Band Mode** - **1st-2nd** (Default): The primary "tunnel" between most recent levels - **1st-3rd**: Wider band, more room for price action - **2nd-3rd**: Band between less immediate levels - **Disabled**: No bands, lines only **Band Colors & Borders** - Customize fill color and border separately - **Tip**: Keep bands very transparent (90-95% transparency) to avoid obscuring price action ### ⚠️ Proximity Alert Settings **Enable Proximity Alerts** - Toggle: Turn on/off the warning system - When enabled, levels within threshold distance show ⚠️ and turn yellow **Alert Threshold** (Default: 5.0 points) - Distance in points to trigger the alert - **For NQ**: 5-10 points is reasonable - **For ES**: 2-5 points is reasonable - **For MES/MNQ**: Scale down proportionally **Alert Highlight Color** - The color lines/labels turn when proximity is triggered - Default: Yellow (high visibility) ### 📋 Table Settings **Show Table** - Toggle: Display the dashboard table **Table Location** - Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right - Choose based on your chart layout and other indicators **Text Size** - Tiny, Small, Normal, Large - **Recommendation**: Normal for 1080p monitors, Small for 4K **Show % Distance** - Toggle: Add percentage distance column to table - Useful for comparing relative distances across different price ranges **Show Statistics Row** - Toggle: Show total count of unmitigated highs/lows - Format: "📊 15↑ / 12↓" (15 unmitigated highs, 12 unmitigated lows) - Useful for gauging overall market structure ### ⚡ Performance Settings **Enable Level Cleanup** - Automatically remove very old levels to maintain performance - **Keep on** unless you want unlimited history **Max Lookback Levels** (Default: 10,000) - Maximum number of levels to track - 10,000 ≈ 6+ months of 15-minute bars - **Increase** if you want more history - **Decrease** if experiencing performance issues **Max Boxes Per Band** (Default: 245) - TradingView limit is 500 total boxes - With 2 bands, 245 each = 490 total (safe maximum) --- ## Best Practices ### 🎯 Position Management **1. Scaling In Near Old Levels** ``` Price approaching 5-session-old low: - First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️) - Second position: 40% size at exact level - Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection ``` **2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels** ``` Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high: - Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️) - Exit 30% at exact level - Trail stop on remaining 20% ``` ### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you: **1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns** - **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level - **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings - **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear - **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert - **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades - **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed **2. Building Better Habits** The color-coded age system trains your brain to: - Respect levels that have proven themselves over time - Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels) - Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed **3. Emotional Regulation** The proximity alerts serve as: - **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones - **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing - **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure ### 📝 Pre-Market Routine **Daily Setup Checklist:** 1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price 2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price 3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones 4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide? 5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings 6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___." ### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence **Multi-Timeframe Strategy:** Run the indicator on **three instances**: - **15-minute** (short-term structure) - **1-hour** (intermediate structure) - **4-hour** (major structure) **Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone. **Example:** - 15m: Old low at 21,400 - 1H: Ancient low at 21,398 - 4H: Ancient low at 21,395 - **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone ### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do **Not a Crystal Ball** - It doesn't predict where price will go - It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided - The trading decisions are still yours **Not an Entry Signal Generator** - It provides context and structure - You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.) **Not Foolproof** - Ancient levels get broken - Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends - The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level --- ## Common Scenarios ### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead" **Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows: - 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old) - 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old) - 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old) **Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant. **Action**: - Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster) - Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd) - Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435 **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering. --- ### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches" **Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500. **Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone. **Action**: - If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level. - If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses) - Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests **Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan. --- ### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure" **Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High. **Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant. **Action**: - Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level - If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish - If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish - The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map. --- ### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout" **Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging. **Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely. **Action**: - Don't try to predict direction - Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low - When break occurs, trade the retest - Expect volatility - use wider stops **Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts. --- ### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure" **Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓" **Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests: - Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind) - Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated) - Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above) **Action**: - Look at the age of those 22 highs - If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet - If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs - Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows? **Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper? --- ## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.** Every unmitigated level represents: - Liquidity left behind - Orders waiting to be filled - Institutional interest potentially parked - Psychological significance for participants The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break. Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to: 1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones 2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk 3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them 4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached. **Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"* Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align. Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler. --- ### 🎯 Quick Reference Card **Color System:** - 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water - 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth - 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone - 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment **Symbols:** - ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th) - ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th) - ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone) - 🟢 = Bullish structure - 🔴 = Bearish structure - Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low) **Critical Rules:** 1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions) 2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️) 3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance 4. Wait for confluence when entering 5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role --- **Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure. Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯 --- *"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You* In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.

ICT Unicorn Model [Kodexius]ICT Unicorn Model is a market structure and imbalance confluence tool that automatically detects high probability “Unicorn” setups by combining three key elements into a single, clean script: -A first, clean break of that swing level (displacement style break) -A Fair Value Gap that overlaps a breaker candle body range Instead of plotting every pivot or every imbalance independently, the script waits for a specific sequence: price establishes a valid swing, breaks that swing for the first time, and prints a setup only when the resulting context aligns with a valid, volatility filtered FVG and a clearly defined breaker range. Each detected setup is drawn directly on the chart with labeled zones (Breaker and FVG) and is then actively monitored. If price violates the breaker boundary based on your chosen invalidation basis (Close or Wick), the setup is marked inactive and can optionally be removed to keep the chart clean. This indicator is designed for traders who work with ICT style concepts such as liquidity runs, displacement, breaker blocks, and imbalance reversion, and who want a structured, rules based visualization rather than discretionary drawing. 🔹 Features 🔸 Fair Value Gap Detection With Volatility Filtering Bullish and bearish FVGs are detected using classic three candle imbalance logic. To avoid low quality gaps during compression, the script applies an ATR based minimum size filter using the “FVG Min Size (ATR Multiplier)” input. Only gaps larger than ATR * threshold are considered valid. 🔸 First Break Validation (Clean Break Logic) A key part of the model is identifying a “first break” of a swing level. The script checks whether the swing price has already been invalidated between the swing bar and the current bar. If it has, the swing is ignored. This helps reduce repeated signals and focuses on fresh structural breaks. 🔸 Breaker and FVG Confluence With Overlap Requirement After a valid break occurs, the script defines a breaker range using the body of the swing candle (open and close). A setup is only created if this breaker body range overlaps the detected FVG price range. This overlap requirement is what filters many “almost” conditions and keeps signals more selective. Bullish Unicorn: Bearish Unicorn: 🔸 Configurable Invalidation Basis (Close or Wick) You can choose how a setup fails: -Close: invalidation requires a candle close beyond the breaker boundary -Wick: invalidation occurs as soon as any wick crosses beyond the breaker boundary This allows the tool to adapt to different trading styles, from conservative confirmation to more sensitive risk control. 🔸 Automatic Cleanup of Failed Setups If “Delete Invalidated Setups” is enabled, the script removes the breaker box, FVG box, and label as soon as the setup is invalidated. If disabled, the zones remain visible for review while the setup is marked inactive internally. 🔸 Clear Chart Visuals Each setup plots: -A labeled Breaker zone box -A labeled FVG zone box -A directional Unicorn label (Bull or Bear) that updates position as the chart advances Colors for bullish and bearish structures are fully configurable. 🔸 Alert Conditions Two alert conditions are provided: -Bullish Unicorn Setup Detected -Bearish Unicorn Setup Detected Alerts trigger only on the bar a new setup is created. 🔹 Calculations This section summarizes the main computations used internally. The goal here is to explain the model mechanics rather than reproduce every implementation detail. 1. Swing Detection (Pivot High / Pivot Low) Swing levels are detected using a symmetric pivot definition with “Swing Length” bars on both sides: float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength) float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength) When a pivot is confirmed, its price and originating bar index are stored: -Swing High: price = pivot high, isHigh = true -Swing Low: price = pivot low, isHigh = false The script keeps a limited history (most recent swings) to stay efficient. 2. Fair Value Gap Detection FVGs use the classic three candle displacement imbalance: Bullish FVG condition bool isBullFVG = high < low Bullish gap range is defined as: -Top = low -Bottom = high Bearish FVG condition bool isBearFVG = low > high Bearish gap range is defined as: -Top = low -Bottom = high 3. ATR Based Minimum Gap Filter ATR is computed (length 14), then the gap size is compared against a user threshold: float atr = ta.atr(14) bool validBullFVG = isBullFVG and (bullFvgTop - bullFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold) bool validBearFVG = isBearFVG and (bearFvgTop - bearFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold) This prevents very small imbalances from generating setups in low volatility conditions. 4. “First Break” Check Using Level Invalidation Scan Before accepting a swing break, the script scans forward from the swing bar to the current bar to confirm the level has not already been breached. The scan can be based on wick or close: -Wick mode: uses high or low -Close mode: uses close Conceptually: priceToCheck = mode == "Wick" ? (checkBelow ? low : high) : close If a prior breach is found, the swing is treated as already invalidated and is ignored for setup creation. 5. Break Of Structure Condition Bullish break requirement A bullish setup requires breaking a stored swing high with bullish body intent: -close > swingHighPrice -open < close Bearish break requirement A bearish setup requires breaking a stored swing low with bearish body intent: -close < swingLowPrice -open > close An additional proximity filter is applied in the bearish branch to reduce weak or overly extended breaks by requiring the prior close to be reasonably near the swing level. 6. Breaker Range Construction Once a qualifying swing is found, the breaker range is derived from the body of the swing candle (the candle at the swing bar index). The body boundaries are: float breakerTop = math.max(bOpen, bClose) float breakerBot = math.min(bOpen, bClose) This models the breaker as the candle body range rather than full wick range, which typically produces more practical invalidation boundaries. 7. Overlap Test Between Breaker and FVG A setup is only created if the breaker body overlaps the FVG zone. Conceptually the script rejects cases where one range is fully above or fully below the other: -If there is no overlap, no setup is created -If overlap exists, the Unicorn setup is valid 8. Active Monitoring and Invalidation Each setup remains active until invalidated. Invalidation is evaluated every bar using your selected basis: -Close basis: compares close to breaker boundary -Wick basis: compares high or low to breaker boundary Bullish invalidation Setup fails if price crosses below breaker bottom. Bearish invalidation Setup fails if price crosses above breaker top. If deletion is enabled, all drawings related to that setup are removed immediately on invalidation. 9. Drawing Updates and Object Lifecycle Breaker and FVG boxes are extended to the right while the setup is active to keep zones visible into the near future. The Unicorn label is also repositioned as new bars print so the most recent context stays readable.

ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP 📖 Overview This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals. The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently: BUY CALL or BUY PUT Predefined Stop Loss (SL) Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2) Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction. 🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original) This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework: 1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB) The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session. Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs. This filters low-quality trades during early chop. 2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs This prevents trading against structure. 3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation Breakouts are validated using: ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range) Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders) This helps reduce fake breakouts. 4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels. 5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction) TP2 = runner target (trend continuation) After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional) 6️⃣ Discipline Controls Only one active trade at a time Cooldown period after a stop loss Prevents over-trading and revenge trading 📊 What the Indicator Displays The script plots the following directly on the chart: Entry level Stop Loss (SL) Take Profit 1 (TP1) Take Profit 2 (TP2) Opening Range High & Low It also includes a Status Box that always shows one of the following states: WAIT BUY CALL BUY PUT IN TRADE COOLDOWN This allows traders to understand the current state at a glance without reading code. ▶️ How to Use the Indicator Recommended Timeframes 1-minute or 2-minute charts Intraday use only Entry Rules When BUY CALL appears → Buy an ATM or slightly ITM call When BUY PUT appears → Buy an ATM or slightly ITM put Risk Management Exit immediately if price hits the SL line Take partial profits at TP1 Hold remaining position for TP2 if conditions allow When Status Shows WAIT or COOLDOWN No trade should be taken ⚙️ Recommended Instruments SPY / QQQ Liquid large-cap stocks Intraday options (0DTE / weeklies) ⚠️ Important Disclaimer This script is provided for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice It does not guarantee profits It does not place trades automatically Options trading involves significant risk Always test using paper trading or small size before live use. 🎯 Who This Script Is For ✔ Traders who want clear rules ✔ Traders who prefer price action over indicators ✔ Options traders who value risk management ✔ Users who want less chart clutter and more discipline ❌ Not intended for swing trading ❌ Not intended for automated trading systems 🧩 Final Notes This is a complete, finished indicator, not a test or experimental script. All logic is deterministic, non-repainting, and designed for real-time use. The philosophy behind this tool is simple: Good trading comes from structure, discipline, and risk control — not prediction.

First Candle Range (FCR) Gold Strategy - EtubersThe 18:00 (6:00 PM) candle is widely used by traders in the Forex and Futures markets because it marks the New York market rollover and the start of the Asian session. How the Strategy Works: - The Range: The High and Low prices of the 1-hour candle (18:00–19:00) create a "Supply and Demand" zone. - The Breakout: A candle closing above the high signals a bullish breakout; a candle closing below the low signals a bearish breakout. - Institutional Memory: By extending this zone forward for 4 days, traders can identify where "old" 18:00 levels act as support or resistance in the future. - Execution: Traders often wait for a breakout followed by a "retest" of the box boundary to enter a high-probability trade.

Zone Eleven HTF Gate SweepThis indicator is designed as a simple visual framework rather than a rigid signal system. It highlights time-based structure and key alignment zones to help identify when price behavior is more likely to be active or responsive. The logic is intentionally flexible, allowing the user to apply their own discretion instead of relying on strict conditions. Its primary value is visual clarity and context, not automatic entries or exits.

This narrows the FVG zone to areas where bodies don't touch, indicating stronger imbalances. Only the first FVG that forms during each hour is displayed. If a bullish FVG forms first, it takes priority. The FVG box is drawn from the formation time through to the end of the hour. Statistical Analysis: All probability statistics are hardcoded from 12 years (2,400+ samples per hour) of NASDAQ futures analysis: First 15-Minute Direction: At 15 minutes into each hour, the indicator determines if price closed above, below, or equal to the hour's opening price Continuation Probability: Historical analysis shows the likelihood that the hour closes in the same direction as the first 15 minutes Example: If 9AM's first 15 minutes are bullish, there's a 60.1% chance the entire 9AM hour closes bullish (lowest continuation hour) 4PM shows the highest continuation at 86.1% for bullish first 15 minutes FVG Effectiveness: Tracks how often the first FVG's direction correctly predicts the hourly close direction BISI (Bullish Imbalance/Sell-side Inefficiency) → Bullish close probability SIBI (Bearish Imbalance/Buy-side Inefficiency) → Bearish close probability Range Expectations: Mean and median values represent typical price movement percentage for each hour 9AM and 10AM show the largest ranges (~0.6%) 5PM shows minimal range (~0.06%) due to low liquidity Hourly Reference Lines: When each new hour begins: Vertical delimiter marks the hour's start Hourly open line plots at the first bar's opening price Range projection lines calculate expected high/low: Upper Range = Hourly Open + (Range% / 100 × Hourly Open) Lower Range = Hourly Open - (Range% / 100 × Hourly Open) Lines extend exactly to the hour's end time Labels appear at line endpoints showing exact prices Real-Time Updates: FVG Status: Updates immediately when the first FVG forms First 15min Direction: Locked in at the 15-minute mark Countdown Timer: Uses timenow to update every second Table Statistics: Refresh on every bar close Timezone Handling: All times are in America/New_York (Eastern Time) Automatically filters weekend periods (Saturday and Sunday before 6PM) Hour detection accounts for daylight saving time changes Use Cases: Intraday Trading Strategy Development: FVG Entry Signals: Use the first hourly FVG as a directional bias Bullish FVG + High continuation % = Strong long setup Bearish FVG + High continuation % = Strong short setup First 15-Minute Breakout: Combine first 15-min direction with continuation probabilities Wait for first 15 minutes to complete If continuation % is above 70%, trade in that direction Example: 4PM bullish first 15 min = 86.1% chance hour closes bullish Range Targeting: Use expected high/low lines as profit targets or reversal zones Price approaching mean high = potential resistance Price approaching mean low = potential support Compare mean vs median for different risk tolerance (median is more conservative) Hour Selection: Focus trading on hours with: High FVG effectiveness (11AM: 81.5% BISI→Bull) High continuation rates (4PM: 86.1% bull continuation) Avoid low-continuation hours like 9AM (60.1%) Time Management: Use the countdown timer to: Enter early in the hour when FVG forms Exit before hour-end if no follow-through Avoid late-hour entries with <15 minutes remaining Statistical Edge Identification: Compare current hour's FVG against historical effectiveness Identify when first 15-min direction contradicts FVG direction (conflict = caution) Use hourly bias to confirm or contradict FVG signals Monitor if price stays within expected range or breaks out (outlier moves) Risk Management: Expected range lines provide logical stop-loss placement FVG Effect % helps size positions (higher % = larger position) Time Left countdown aids in time-based stop management Avoid trading hours with neutral bias or low continuation rates Statistical Foundation: All embedded statistics are derived from: 12 years of NASDAQ futures (NQ) continuous contract data 5-minute timeframe FVG detection methodology 24 hours per day analysis (excluding weekends) 2,400+ samples per hour for robust statistical validity America/New_York timezone for session alignment Data includes: Hourly range analysis (mean, median, standard deviation) First 15-minute directional analysis FVG formation frequency and effectiveness Continuation probability matrices Bullish/bearish bias percentages Best Practices: ✅ Do: Use exclusively on NASDAQ futures (NQ1! or MNQ1!) Apply on 5-minute charts for optimal FVG detection matching statistical samples Wait for first 15 minutes to complete before acting on continuation probabilities Combine FVG signals with continuation % and FVG Effect % for confluence Use expected range lines as initial profit targets Monitor the countdown timer for time-based trade management Focus on hours with high statistical edges (4PM, 11AM, 10AM) ❌ Don't: Use on other markets (ES, RTY, YM, stocks, forex, crypto) - statistics will be invalid Rely solely on FVG without confirming with continuation probabilities Trade during low-liquidity hours (5PM shows only 0.06% average range) Ignore the first 15-minute direction when it conflicts with FVG direction Apply to timeframes significantly different from 5-minute for FVG detection Use median range expectations aggressively (they're conservative) Technical Implementation Notes: Timezone: Fixed to America/New_York with automatic DST adjustment Weekend Filtering: Automatically hides data Saturday and Sunday before 6PM ET Performance: Maximum 500 boxes and 500 lines for optimal chart rendering Update Frequency: Table updates on every bar close; timer updates every second using timenow FVG Priority: Bullish FVGs take precedence when both form simultaneously Lower Timeframe Detection: Uses request.security_lower_tf for accurate sub-chart-timeframe FVG detection Precision: All price labels use format.mintick for appropriate decimal precision Big thanks to @Trades-Dont-Lie for the FPFVG code in his excellent indicator that I've used here

FVG Heatmap [Hash Capital Research]FVG Map FVG Map is a visual Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping tool built to make displacement imbalances easy to see and manage in real time. It detects 3-candle FVG zones, plots them as clean heatmap boxes, tracks partial mitigation (how much of the zone has been filled), and summarizes recent “fill speed” behavior in a small regime dashboard. This is an indicator (not a strategy). It does not place trades and it does not publish performance claims. It is a market-structure visualization tool intended to support discretionary or systematic workflows. What this script detects Bullish FVG (gap below price) A bullish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a high below the current candle’s low. The zone spans from that prior high up to the current low. Bearish FVG (gap above price) A bearish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a low above the current candle’s high. The zone spans from the current high up to that prior low. What makes it useful Heatmap zones (clean, readable FVG boxes) Bullish zones plot below price. Bearish zones plot above price. Partial fill tracking (mitigation progress) As price trades back into a zone, the script visually shows how much of the zone has been filled. Mitigation modes (your definition of “filled”) • Full Fill: price fully trades through the zone • 50% Fill: price reaches the midpoint of the zone • First Touch: price touches the zone one time Optional auto-cleanup Optionally remove zones once they’re mitigated to keep the chart clean. Fill-Speed Regime Dashboard When zones get mitigated, the script records how many bars it took to fill and summarizes the recent environment: • Average fill time • Median fill time • % fast fills vs % slow fills • Regime label: choppy/mean-revert, trending/displacement, or mixed How to use Use FVG zones as structure, not guaranteed signals. • Bullish zones are often watched as potential support on pullbacks. • Bearish zones are often watched as potential resistance on rallies. The fill-speed dashboard helps provide context: fast fills tend to appear in more rotational conditions, while slow fills tend to appear in stronger trend/displacement conditions. Alerts Bullish FVG Created Bearish FVG Created Notes FVGs are not guaranteed reversal points. Fill-speed/regime is descriptive of recent behavior and should be treated as context, not prediction. On realtime candles, visuals may update as the bar forms.

Trend SignalSystem Trend Signal — What It Does Shows you when your trading system says "be long" vs "stay out" — with a trailing line and buy/sell labels only when the state flips. The Rules Built In: BUY state requires ALL of these: Price above 50-DMA (intermediate trend up) 10-DMA above 20-DMA (short-term trend confirmed) Sell/Buy Pressure Ratio below 1.5 AND flattening or falling (sellers not aggressive) RSI above 30 and not making lower lows (momentum OK) SELL state triggers on ANY of these : Price drops below 50-DMA (trend broken) Pressure Ratio spikes above 2.0 (heavy selling) RSI making lower lows AND below 40 (momentum failing) What You See: "Buy" label appears only when state flips from sell → buy "Sell" label appears only when state flips from buy → sell No spam. One label per flip. The Trailing Line: Uses ATR to set distance from price. In buy state: line = close - (ATR × 2.0), ratchets up only In sell state: line = close + (ATR × 2.0), ratchets down only

ICT MTF FVG BPR Toolkit [D4A}The ICT MTF FVG BPR Toolkit encompasses the following 5 components: - Fair Value Gaps - current timeframe - Fair Value Gaps - higher timeframe - BPR - Balanced Price Range - Long Wicks - which are considered to be gaps by ICT - Immediate Rebalance - it leaves no gaps, but is as important in assessing current workflow This is advanced Fair Value Gaps script that uses trading methodology taught by ICT trader. To use it effectively it requires at least some basic knowledge of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) as outlined in ICT's lectures found on YT. I may publish another SMC related scripts in future if this kind of tool is useful to anybody. The idea behind this work, is to have all the necessary tools related to Fair Value Gaps in one script that is easy to use (requires SMC knowledge), fully customizable and will keep the chart as clutter free as possible. Since, I could not find a ready-made script which would tick all my requirements, I created this new script, partially by borrowing some ideas and code from existing open source projects that I liked. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I focused on adopting and improving existing solutions and have them work together in one tool that could present the information accurately and in a polished way, where the trader can customize almost everything. Full credit goes to other coders, who tackled this subject before me, but particularly to: QuantVue LuxAlgo pmk07 The script have these unique features: - Can present FVGs from up to 3 different timeframes at any given interval - The amount and interval of higher timeframe FVGs is fully customizable - FVGs can be displayed based on size - Volume Imbalance can be included as part of FVG (as recommended by ICT) - Higher timeframe FVGs can have quadrants displayed along with C.E. (based on ATR filter) - Both current and higher timeframe FVGs can be displayed in different ways depending on price interactions - BPR which works on current timeframe only - Long Wick detection logic has been slightly changed from the original LuxAlgo code - Immediate Rebalance code has been simplified and re-focused on clarity ----------------- Disclaimer The information contained in my Scripts/Indicators/Ideas/Algos/Systems does not constitute financial advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities of any type.

EMA/SMA Full color signal candles💡 What It Does: The indicator calculates and plots the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 30-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). It then analyzes the closing price of each candle and colors the entire candlestick (body and border) according to pre-defined trend conditions. This visualization allows traders to identify strong trend environments versus periods of consolidation or indecision at a glance, removing the need to constantly check the price relationship manually. 🎨 Color Conditions and Meaning: The indicator uses three distinct color states to signal the market's current momentum: Color,Condition,Market Interpretation 🟢 GREEN,Closing Price is ABOVE both the 21 EMA AND the 30 SMA.,Strong Bullish Trend: Suggests high momentum and confirmation of an uptrend. Ideal for long bias. 🔴 RED,Closing Price is BELOW both the 21 EMA AND the 30 SMA.,Strong Bearish Trend: Suggests high downward pressure and confirmation of a downtrend. Ideal for short bias. ⚫ GRAY,"Closing Price is in any other state (e.g., between the two MAs, or under one and over the other).","Neutral / Consolidation: Indicates uncertainty, low momentum, or potential trend exhaustion/reversal. Caution is advised." 🔧 Customization Options:The indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to fine-tune the periods to match their preferred trading style (e.g., scalping, swing trading).Dĺžka EMA (Length EMA): Allows you to change the period for the Exponential Moving Average (default is 21).Dĺžka SMA (Length SMA): Allows you to change the period for the Simple Moving Average (default is 30). I added also Extra 4 EMA lines to have extra edge.

Consolidation Zones Volume Delta | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW: The Consolidation Zones Volume Delta | Flux Charts indicator is designed to identify and visualize consolidation zones on the chart. Rather than only outlining areas of sideways price movement, the indicator analyzes volume activity occurring inside each consolidation zone. This is done by aggregating lower-timeframe volume data into the higher-timeframe consolidation range, allowing users to see how buying and selling activity evolves while price remains in a range. What is the theory behind the indicator?: The indicator is built around three core analytical concepts that guide how consolidation zones are detected and evaluated. 1. Consolidation as a structural phase Periods of consolidation are characterized by reduced directional movement and compressed price ranges. During these phases, price action often alternates within a defined high–low boundary, creating a structure that can be objectively measured and tracked over time. 2. Volume behavior inside consolidation While price may appear balanced within a consolidation range, volume activity inside that range can vary. The indicator evaluates volume contributions occurring within the vertical boundaries of the consolidation zone by using lower-timeframe data and weighting each candle’s volume based on its overlap with the zone. This produces an internal volume delta profile that reflects how buying and selling volume accumulates throughout the consolidation. Delta behavior inside a zone may show: Persistent dominance of buying or selling volume Alternating shifts between buyers and sellers Periods of relatively balanced participation 3. Markets consolidate in multiple ways, one detection method is not enough Markets do not consolidate in a single, uniform way. To account for this, the indicator includes three distinct consolidation detection methods. Each method is calculated objectively, does not repaint, and targets a different type of sideways or low-expansion price behavior: Candle Compression ADX Low Trend Strength Visual Range Boundaries CONSOLIDATION ZONES VOLUME DELTA FEATURES: The Consolidation Zones Volume Delta indicator includes 4 main features: Consolidation Zones Volume Delta Standard Deviation Bands Alerts CONSOLIDATION ZONES: 🔹What is a Consolidation Zone? A consolidation zone is a defined price range where market movement becomes compressed and price remains contained within clear upper and lower boundaries for a sustained period of time. During this phase, price does not establish a strong directional trend and instead oscillates within a relatively narrow range. 🔹Consolidation Zone Detection The indicator automatically detects consolidation zones using three independent, rule-based methods. Each method evaluates a different market condition and can be selected individually depending on how you want consolidation to be defined. Regardless of the method used, all zones are calculated objectively and finalized once confirmed. ◇ Candles (Candle Compression) The Candles method identifies consolidation by detecting periods of candle compression and reduced range expansion. A candle is considered part of a consolidation sequence when: The candle body is small relative to its total range The candle’s high–low range is smaller than the short-term Average True Range (ATR) ATR is calculated using a 4-period average true range and is used as a volatility reference. If consecutive candles continue to meet these compression conditions, the indicator increments an internal count. Under the Consolidation Candles section in the settings, you’ll find two controls. Min. Consolidation Candles setting This defines how many consecutive compressed candles are required before a consolidation zone is confirmed. Candle compression is determined using candle structure and short-term ATR, ensuring that only periods of reduced range expansion are counted. Once the minimum threshold is reached, the indicator creates a consolidation zone using the highest high and lowest low formed during the compressed sequence. Mark Consolidation Candles When enabled, the indicator highlights candles that meet the compression criteria, making it easy to visually identify which candles contributed to the formation of the consolidation zone. ◇ ADX (Low Trend Strength) The ADX method identifies consolidation based on weak or declining trend strength rather than candle structure. This method uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to determine when directional movement is reduced. ADX is calculated using directional movement values that are smoothed over time. When ADX remains below a user-defined threshold, price is treated as being in a low-trend market. While this condition persists, the indicator tracks the highest high and lowest low formed during the low-trend period. Under the ADX Settings section in the settings, you’ll find the following controls. ADX Length Defines the lookback period used to calculate directional movement for ADX. ADX Smoothing Controls the smoothing applied to the ADX calculation. ADX Threshold Sets the level below which ADX must remain for the market to be considered consolidating. Consolidation Strength Defines how many consecutive candles’ ADX must stay below the threshold before a consolidation zone is confirmed. Once this requirement is met, the indicator creates a consolidation zone using the accumulated high and low from the low-trend window. Mark Candles Below Threshold When enabled, the indicator highlights candles where ADX remains below the threshold. ◇ Visual Range The Visual Range method identifies consolidation by detecting clearly defined horizontal price ranges where price remains contained for a sustained period of time. The indicator continuously tracks the rolling highest high and lowest low across recent candles. When price remains inside the same high–low boundaries without breaking above or below the range, an internal counter advances. Under the Visual Range section in the settings, you’ll find the following control. Min. Candles in Range Defines how many consecutive candles must remain fully contained within the same high–low range before a consolidation zone is confirmed. Once this requirement is met, the indicator creates a consolidation zone using the established range boundaries. 🔹Consolidation Zone Settings ◇ Invalidation Method Users can choose how Consolidation Zones are invalidated, selecting between Close Break or Wick Break. Close Break: A Consolidation Zone is invalidated when a candle closes above/below the zone. Wick Break: A Consolidation Zone is invalidated when a candle’s wick goes above/below the zone. ◇ Merge Overlapping Zones When enabled, overlapping Consolidation Zones are automatically combined into one unified zone. ◇ Show Last This setting determines how many Consolidation Zones are displayed on your chart. For example, setting this to 5 will display the 5 most recent zones. VOLUME DELTA: Delta Volume visualizes how buying and selling volume accumulates inside each consolidation zone. Instead of using the full candle volume, the indicator isolates only the volume that occurs within the vertical boundaries of the zone. This allows you to see whether bullish or bearish volume is dominating while price remains range-bound. The visualization updates in real time while the zone is active and reflects cumulative participation rather than individual candles. 🔹How Volume Delta is Calculated Delta Volume is calculated using lower-timeframe data and applied to the higher-timeframe consolidation zone. Each candle’s volume is split into bullish or bearish volume based on candle direction. Lower-timeframe candles are pulled using the selected delta timeframe. For each lower-timeframe candle, only the portion of volume that vertically overlaps the consolidation zone is counted. Volume is weighted by the amount of overlap between the candle’s range and the zone’s range. Bullish and bearish volume are accumulated over time to form a running, cumulative delta profile for the zone. 🔹Volume Delta Settings ◇ Enable Turns the Delta Volume visualization on or off. Consolidation zones continue to plot when disabled. ◇ Show Delta % Displays the percentage breakdown of bullish versus bearish volume inside the consolidation zone. Percentages are derived from cumulative volume totals. ◇ 3D Visual When enabled, the delta blocks are extended diagonally using a depth offset derived from the instrument’s daily ATR. This creates visible side faces and top faces for the delta blocks, simulating depth without altering any calculations. The 3D effect is purely visual. It does not change how volume is calculated, weighted, or accumulated. Users can control the intensity of the 3D effect choosing a value between 1 and 5. Increasing this value increases: The horizontal offset of the delta blocks The vertical depth projection applied to the volume faces Higher values produce a more pronounced 3D appearance by pushing the delta visualization further away from the consolidation box. Lower values keep the visualization flatter and closer to the box boundaries. The depth scaling is normalized using ATR, so the effect adapts proportionally to the instrument’s volatility. ◇ Volume Delta Display Style Controls how bullish and bearish volume are displayed inside the Consolidation Zone: Horizontal: Volume is split top-to-bottom within the zone Vertical: Volume is split left-to-right across the zone ◇ Timeframe Defines the lower timeframe used for Volume Delta calculations. When a timeframe is selected, the indicator pulls lower-timeframe price and volume data and maps it into the higher-timeframe consolidation zone. Each lower-timeframe candle is evaluated individually. Only the portion of its volume that vertically overlaps the consolidation zone is included, and that volume is weighted based on the candle’s overlap with the zone’s price range. If the Timeframe field is left empty, the indicator defaults to using the chart’s current timeframe for delta calculations. Using a lower timeframe increases the granularity of the delta calculation, allowing volume changes inside the zone to be measured more precisely. Using a higher timeframe produces a smoother, less granular delta profile. Please Note: Delta rendering is automatically limited to available lower-timeframe data to prevent incomplete or distorted visuals when historical lower-timeframe volume is unavailable due to TradingView data limits. STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS: Standard Deviation Bands project measured price distance away from a confirmed consolidation zone using the size of that zone as the reference unit. Rather than calculating volatility from historical price dispersion, the bands are derived directly from the height of the consolidation range itself. Each band represents a fixed multiple of the consolidation zone’s height and is plotted symmetrically above and below the zone. 🔹How the bands are calculated Once a consolidation zone is finalized, the indicator calculates the zone height as: Zone Height = Zone High − Zone Low This value becomes the base measurement for all deviation calculations. For each enabled band: Upper bands are placed above the consolidation zone’s high Lower bands are placed below the consolidation zone’s low The distance of each band from the zone is calculated by multiplying the zone height by the selected band multiplier. These band levels are fixed relative to the consolidation zone and do not recalculate based on future price movement. 🔹Standard Deviation Band Settings ◇ Band 1 Enables the first deviation band above and below the consolidation zone. The Band 1 multiplier defines how far the band is placed from the zone in terms of zone height. For example, a multiplier of 1 plots the band one full zone height above and below the consolidation range. ◇ Band 2 Enables a second deviation band at a greater distance from the consolidation zone. Band 2 uses its own multiplier and is calculated independently of Band 1, allowing multiple expansion levels to be displayed simultaneously. ◇ Fill Bands When enabled, the area between the consolidation zone and each deviation band is filled with a semi-transparent color. Upper fills apply to bands above the zone, and lower fills apply to bands below the zone. Fills are static and tied directly to the consolidation zone boundaries. ◇ Color Customization Each deviation band has independent color controls for: Upper band lines and fills Lower band lines and fills This allows users to visually distinguish between bullish and bearish extensions as well as between multiple deviation levels. ALERTS: Users can create alerts for the following: New Consolidation Zone Formed Consolidation Zone Break UNIQUENESS: This indicator combines multiple consolidation detection methods with lower-timeframe volume delta analysis inside each consolidation zone. It visualizes bullish and bearish volume using weighted overlap logic and optional 3D rendering for improved clarity. Users can choose how volume is displayed, apply structure-based deviation bands, and enable alerts for new zones and zone breaks. All features are rule-based, configurable, and designed to work together within a single framework.
