Candle Range Theory - AlgoVisionUnderstanding Candle Range Theory (CRT) in the AlgoVision Indicator
Candle Range Theory (CRT) is a structured approach to analyzing market movements within the price ranges of candlesticks. CRT is founded on the idea that each candlestick on a chart, regardless of timeframe, represents a distinct range of price action, marked by the candle's open, high, low, and close. This range gives insights into market dynamics, and when analyzed in lower timeframes, reveals patterns that indicate underlying market sentiment and institutional behaviors.
Key Concepts of Candle Range Theory
Candlestick Range: The range of a candlestick is simply the distance between its high and low. Across timeframes, this range highlights significant price behavior, with each candlestick representing a snapshot of price movement. The body (distance between open and close) shows the primary price action, while wicks (shadows) reflect price fluctuations or "noise" around this movement.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: A higher-timeframe (HTF) candlestick can be dissected into smaller, structured price movements in lower timeframes (LTFs). By analyzing these smaller movements, traders gain a detailed view of the market’s progression within the HTF candlestick’s range. Each HTF candlestick’s high and low provide support and resistance levels on the LTF, where the price can "sweep," break out, or retest these levels.
Market Behavior within the Range: Price action within a range doesn’t move randomly; it follows structured behavior, often revealing patterns. By analyzing these patterns, CRT provides insights into the market’s intention to accumulate, manipulate, or distribute assets within these ranges. This behavior can indicate future market direction and increase the probability of accurate trading signals.
CRT and ICT Power of 3: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution (AMD)
A foundational element of our CRT indicator is its combination with ICT’s Power of 3 (Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution or AMD). This approach identifies three stages of market movement:
Accumulation: During this phase, institutions accumulate positions within a tight price range, often leading to sideways movement. Here, price consolidates as institutions carefully enter or exit positions, erasing traces of their intent from public view.
Manipulation: Institutions often use manipulation to create false breakouts, targeting retail traders who enter the market on perceived breakouts or reversals. Manipulation is characterized by liquidity grabs, false breakouts, or stop hunts, as price momentarily moves outside the established range before quickly returning.
Distribution: Following accumulation and manipulation, the distribution phase aligns with the true market direction. Institutions now allow the market to move with the trend, initiating a stronger and more sustained price movement that aligns with their intended position.
This AMD cycle is often observed across multiple timeframes, allowing traders to refine entries and exits by identifying accumulation, manipulation, and distribution phases on smaller timeframes within the range of a higher-timeframe candle. CRT views this cycle as the "heartbeat" of the market—a continuous loop of price movements. With our indicator, you can identify this cycle on your current timeframe, with the signal candle acting as the "manipulation" candle.
How to Use the AlgoVision CRT Indicator
The AlgoVision CRT Indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying actionable points within the candle range framework. Our indicator operates by generating signals on the close of the second candle, setting up the expectation to trade the third candle as the "manipulation" candle. This is where price movement in a targeted direction typically occurs. Once you receive a signal on candle two's close, you can prepare to execute a trade on the next candle based on the manipulation phase within the CRT framework.
By setting alerts on a higher timeframe, you can receive either bullish or bearish signals that prepare you to enter trades on a lower timeframe. For instance, a bullish signal on the higher timeframe may signal to watch for a setup on the lower timeframe, allowing for precision entries during the accumulation or manipulation phases.
Conclusion By combining CRT with ICT Power of 3, the AlgoVision Indicator allows traders to leverage the CRT candlestick as a versatile tool for identifying potential market moves. This method provides beginners and seasoned traders alike with a robust framework to understand market dynamics and refine trade strategies across timeframes. Setting alerts on the higher timeframe to catch bullish or bearish CRT signals allows you to plan and execute trades on the lower timeframe, aligning your strategy with the broader market flow.

Previous Day High and Low Count with Probabilities
Indicator Explanation
This indicator displays the number of days on which the previous day's high or low prices were not reached and calculates probabilities for future price movements based on this information. It stores the high and low values of the last 45 days and checks daily whether these levels were touched. Based on the number of days without touching either the high or the low, the indicator calculates the probability of future price movements in either direction (Up or Down).
The indicator offers customization options for label placement and color on the chart. The counts for the high and low touches, along with the calculated probabilities (in percentages), are displayed as labels on the chart. These labels can be shifted along the X-axis by up to 50 bars and can be customized in color and size. Additionally, the text for the labels can be freely chosen, giving the user improved flexibility and overview.
In summary, this indicator helps to:
- Track how often previous day's high and low levels were not reached.
- Estimate probabilities for future price movements based on this information.
- Customize the chart display for easier interpretation.
Strategy Concept
Probability and Touch Conditions:
A long position is entered only if:
The probability of reaching the high is at least 60%.
The price has not touched the previous day’s high in the last three days.
Similarly, for short positions:
The probability of reaching the low is at least 60%.
The price has not touched the previous day’s low in the last three days.
Incremental Position Size Increase:
On the 3rd consecutive day without a high/low touch and with the probability condition met, an initial position of 0.01 lots is opened.
On the 4th day, an additional position of 0.01 lots is added.
On the 5th day, an extra position of 0.02 lots is opened.
After a two-day pause, the situation is re-evaluated, and if conditions are still met, a 0.04-lot position is considered.
Trend Reversal Detection:
The strategy also includes a simple trend reversal check. If the market shows clear reversal signals, no new positions will be opened.
Adjustments and Risk Management
This strategy can be adjusted by modifying the probability values, the number of days without a high/low touch, and the lot sizes. Additionally, stop-loss and take-profit levels can be added to further control the risk and secure profits.

Pavan CPR Strategy Pavan CPR Strategy (Pine Script)
The Pavan CPR Strategy is a trading system based on the Central Pivot Range (CPR), designed to identify price breakouts and generate long trade signals. This strategy uses key CPR levels (Pivot, Top CPR, and Bottom CPR) calculated from the daily high, low, and close to inform trade decisions. Here's an overview of how the strategy works:
Key Components:
CPR Calculation:
The strategy calculates three critical CPR levels for each trading day:
Pivot (P): The central value, calculated as the average of the high, low, and close prices.
Top Central Pivot (TC): The midpoint of the daily high and low, acting as the resistance level.
Bottom Central Pivot (BC): Derived from the pivot and the top CPR, providing a support level.
The script uses request.security to fetch these CPR values from the daily timeframe, even when applied on intraday charts.
Trade Entry Condition:
A long position is initiated when:
The current price crosses above the Top CPR level (TC).
The previous close was below the Top CPR level, signaling a breakout above a key resistance level.
This condition aims to capture upward momentum as the price breaks above a significant level.
Exit Strategy:
Take Profit: The position is closed with a profit target set 50 points above the entry price.
Stop Loss: A stop loss is placed at the Pivot level to protect against unfavorable price movements.
Visual Reference:
The script plots the three CPR levels on the chart:
Pivot: Blue line.
Top CPR (TC): Green line.
Bottom CPR (BC): Red line.
These plotted levels provide visual guidance for identifying potential support and resistance zones.
Use Case:
The Pavan CPR Strategy is ideal for intraday traders who want to capitalize on price movements and breakouts above critical CPR levels. It provides clear entry and exit signals based on price action and is best used in conjunction with proper risk management.
Note: The strategy is written in Pine Script v5 for use on TradingView, and it is recommended to backtest and optimize it for the asset or market you are trading.

3 CANDLE SUPPLY/DEMANDExplanation of the Code:
Demand Zone Logic: The script checks if the second candle closes below the low of the first candle and the third candle closes above both the highs of the first and second candles.
Zone Plotting: Once the pattern is identified, a demand zone is plotted from the low of the first candle to the high of the third candle, using a dashed green line for clarity.
Markers: A small triangle marker is added below the bars where a demand zone is detected for easy visualization.
Efficient Logic: The script checks the conditions for demand zone formation for every three consecutive candles on the chart.
This approach should be both accurate and efficient in plotting demand zones, making it easier to spot potential support levels on the chart.
Trade Rush IndicatorTrade Rush Indicator
The Trade Rush Indicator is a comprehensive tool designed for traders who seek a clear visualization of key moving averages, combined with Bollinger Bands to identify potential trading opportunities. This script provides a unique approach to trend analysis by combining multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Simple Moving Averages (SMA) with varying lengths, along with Bollinger Bands set to both 1 and 2 standard deviations.
Key Features:
EMAs & SMAs: The indicator includes several EMAs (5, 9, 21, 50, 100, 120, 200, 400) and SMAs (21, 50, 100, 120, 200, 400), each serving a different timeframe perspective. The EMAs and SMAs are color-coded for quick reference, and some of the longer-period moving averages (50 EMA, 100 EMA, etc.) are hidden by default to reduce chart clutter but can be manually enabled.
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are set at 1 and 2 standard deviations to assist in visualizing price volatility. The space between the 1σ and 2σ bands is filled with a light cloud, making it easy to spot periods of higher volatility. This band configuration helps traders assess potential breakout or reversal zones.
Ichimoku Cloud Overlay: Although the Ichimoku cloud calculation is included, it is hidden by default and can be activated when additional trend confirmation is needed. The cloud’s opacity is set to be subtle, allowing it to enhance chart readability without overwhelming other indicators.
Usage:
The Trade Rush Indicator is ideal for swing traders and intraday traders who rely on moving average crossovers, Bollinger Band volatility signals, and trend confirmation through Ichimoku cloud analysis. By visualizing multiple moving averages and Bollinger Bands, traders can identify trend direction, support/resistance zones, and potential breakout areas.
Originality and Value:
This script is a tailored solution for traders who seek a blend of moving averages and Bollinger Bands to enhance their trend-following strategies. Unlike standard setups, the Trade Rush Indicator provides extensive customization options, allowing traders to enable/disable specific indicators based on their trading style and preferences. Its structure also provides unique insights into volatility and trend strength by layering various EMAs and SMAs, helping traders make more informed decisions.
Heisenberg Uncertainty Moving Average (HUMA)Overview
This script introduces and approximation of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Moving Average (HUMA), inspired by the principles of quantum physics, particularly the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The indicator dynamically adjusts its moving average length based on price and momentum uncertainty, ensuring adaptability to market conditions. It also features dynamic coloring to indicate the slope of the moving average.
Step-by-Step Explanation
Calculate Uncertainty in Price (Δx):
The price uncertainty is measured over a specified lookback period (length).
This is done by finding the difference between the highest high and lowest low over the period
Momentum uncertainty is defined using the Rate of Change (ROC) of the closing price over the same lookback period (length).
This indicates how much the price has changed over that period, providing a measure of momentum uncertainty.
Introduce Planck’s Constant (h):
Planck’s constant (h) is scaled down for financial use to set a theoretical minimum threshold for the product of uncertainties.
The threshold is defined as h / (4 * π) to simulate a limit that aligns with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in physics.
Calculate the Uncertainty Product (Δx ⋅ Δp):
The product of price uncertainty (Δx) and the absolute value of momentum uncertainty (Δp) is calculated.
To ensure the product respects the minimum threshold set by quantum principles, the value is capped using math.max(uncertainty_product, threshold).
Normalize the Uncertainty Product to Determine the Moving Average Window Size:
The uncertainty product is used to adjust the length of the moving average dynamically.
The formula inversely adjusts the moving average length based on uncertainty: higher uncertainty results in a shorter (more responsive) window and lower uncertainty results in a longer (smoother) window.
Calculate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Moving Average (HUMA):
The slope is determined by finding the difference between the current HUMA value and the value from the previous period, smoothed with a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA).
This helps identify the direction of the trend: positive slope indicates an uptrend, and negative slope indicates a downtrend.
Dynamic Coloring Based on the Slope:
Bidirectional MoM w/ Time Weighting | Optional Intrabar DataBidirectional MoM w/ Time Weighting | Optional Intrabar Data
Core Components:
Intrabar Data Extraction:
The script optionally harnesses lower time frame data (e.g., per-second intervals) for high and low prices within each primary bar. You can set it to the current chart time but if you want to use intrabar data it uses the request.security_lower_tf() to properly pull intrabar data.
This fine-grained data enables an in-depth examination of the price action that occurs within a standard timeframe, enhancing the ability to detect subtle market movements.
A key threshold based on Average True Range (ATR) is used to measure significant price changes intrabar, adding a robust filter for volatility sensitivity.
Cumulative Time-to-Threshold Analysis:
The indicator tracks how long it takes for price changes to reach specified thresholds, marking critical time points when upward or downward price movements exceed these levels. This approach provides insights into the speed and intensity of directional shifts within the market.
The calculated time-to-threshold values act as temporal markers that influence subsequent momentum weighting.
Bidirectional Momentum Calculation:
Momentum is assessed in two directions (upward and downward) using a comprehensive array of price changes.
Adaptive Weighting Mechanism:
Each momentum value is weighted by the calculated time-to-threshold, giving preference to momentum that occurs more rapidly and aligning with potential breakout conditions.
The script also factors in correlations between momentum and price change, ensuring that only the most relevant signals contribute to the final analysis.
Iterative Length Analysis:
By iterating over a range of lengths (e.g., 100 to 200 periods), the script aggregates data to assess momentum across different time scales. This provides a more holistic view of market behavior, accommodating both short-term fluctuations and longer-term trends.
Each length is evaluated using moving averages and correlations to determine its contribution to the total weighted momentum.
Final Aggregated Output:
The weighted sums of upward and downward momentum are normalized by the total weight to produce a final composite metric.
The indicator plots these results as separate upward and downward momentum lines, offering traders a visual representation of which direction holds more momentum strength over various intervals.
Practical Application:
This indicator's advanced design is tailored for traders who require a deeper understanding of price movement dynamics and the underlying forces driving market momentum. By incorporating intrabar data, adaptive time-to-threshold calculations, and iterative analysis, this tool seeks to provide a clearer view of potential market direction shifts and their timing.
The indicator can be used to:
Identify potential breakout or reversal points by observing significant shifts in weighted momentum.
Gauge the relative strength of uptrends and downtrends through the plotted momentum lines.
Enhance decision-making with an additional layer of granularity from intrabar data.
In essence, this script is an ambitious attempt to blend multi-scale analysis, momentum dynamics, and time-weighted evaluation, creating a unique approach to understanding market behavior beyond conventional indicators.

This Pine Script-based indicator is designed for traders focusing on the London trading session, leveraging smart money concepts (SMC) to identify potential trading opportunities in the GBP/USD currency pair. The script uses multiple techniques such as Order Block Detection, Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Analysis, Change of Character (CHoCH) detection, and Fibonacci retracement levels to aid in market structure analysis, providing a well-rounded approach to trade setups.
Features:
London Session Highlight:
The indicator visually marks the London trading session (from 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC) on the chart using a blue background, signaling when the high-volume, high-impulse moves tend to occur, helping traders focus their analysis on this key session.
Order Block Detection:
Identifies significant impulse moves that may form order blocks (supply and demand zones). Order blocks are areas where institutions have executed large orders, often leading to price reversals or continuation. The indicator plots the high and low of these order blocks, providing key levels to monitor for potential entries.
Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Detection:
Detects and highlights price imbalances or fair value gaps (FVG) where the market has moved too quickly, creating a gap in price action. These areas are often revisited by price, offering potential trade opportunities. The upper and lower bounds of the imbalance are visually marked for easy reference.
Change of Character (CHoCH) Detection:
This feature identifies potential trend reversals by detecting significant changes in market character. When the price action shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa, a CHoCH signal is triggered, and the corresponding level is marked on the chart. This can help traders catch trend reversals at key levels.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The script calculates and plots the key Fibonacci retracement levels (0.618 and 0.786 by default) based on the highest and lowest points over a user-defined swing lookback period. These levels are commonly used by traders to identify potential pullback zones where price may reverse or find support/resistance.
Directional Bias Based on Market Structure:
The indicator provides a market structure analysis by comparing the current highs and lows to the previous periods' highs and lows. This helps in identifying whether the market is in a bullish or bearish state, providing a clear directional bias for trade setups.
Alerts:
The indicator comes with built-in alert conditions to notify the trader when an order block, imbalance, CHoCH, or other significant price action event is detected, ensuring timely action can be taken.
Ideal Usage:
Timeframe: Suitable for intraday trading, particularly focusing on the London session (08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC).
Currency Pair: Specifically designed for GBP/USD but can be adapted to other pairs with similar market behavior.
Trading Strategy: Best used in conjunction with a price action strategy, focusing on the key levels identified (order blocks, FVG, CHoCH) and using Fibonacci retracement levels for precision entries.
Target Audience: Ideal for traders who follow smart money concepts (SMC) and are looking for a structured approach to identify high-probability setups during the London session.
Engulfing BoxThe Engulfing Box indicator is a custom script designed to visually highlight and track bullish and bearish engulfing candlestick patterns on a price chart. These patterns are often used to identify potential reversal points, making them valuable for technical analysis. The script dynamically draws colored boxes around these patterns, helping users easily spot them in the price action.
Key Features:
Bullish Engulfing Pattern: When a candlestick fully engulfs the previous bearish candle (i.e., the close of the current candle is higher than the open of the previous candle, and the open is lower than the close of the previous candle), the script draws a green box around the bullish engulfing candle. This box is drawn from the open of the previous candle to the low of the previous candle.
Bearish Engulfing Pattern: When a candlestick fully engulfs the previous bullish candle (i.e., the close of the current candle is lower than the open of the previous candle, and the open is higher than the close of the previous candle), a red box is drawn around the bearish engulfing candle. This box is drawn from the open of the previous candle to the high of the previous candle.
Dynamic Box Management: Once an engulfing pattern is detected, a box is drawn with the following attributes:
Bullish Engulfing Box: Green, with a transparent background.
Bearish Engulfing Box: Red, with a transparent background.
The box will adjust its color to gray if the price moves past certain thresholds, indicating that the engulfing pattern may no longer be as relevant.
Max Pattern Tracking: The script limits the number of engulfing boxes tracked on the chart to prevent clutter. The maximum number of bullish and bearish engulfing patterns shown is customizable (set to 500 by default), and once this limit is exceeded, older boxes are deleted to maintain a clean chart.
Pattern Expiry: Boxes are deleted if price action moves beyond the pattern’s range, ensuring that outdated signals are removed. If the low price falls below the bottom of the bullish engulfing box, or the high price rises above the top of the bearish engulfing box, the respective box is removed. Additionally, if the low price moves below the top of the bullish box or the high price exceeds the bottom of the bearish box, the box's color is changed to a more neutral tone.
How it Works:
Pattern Detection: The script compares the current price data with the previous candlestick to detect the bullish or bearish engulfing patterns.
Box Creation: If a pattern is detected, a colored box is drawn around the candle to visually highlight the pattern.
Pattern Expiry and Cleanup: The script continuously monitors past boxes. If the price moves too far from the box’s range, the box is either deleted or altered to reflect the reduced significance of the pattern.
B ox Count Limit: To avoid clutter, the script ensures that no more than 500 bullish or bearish engulfing boxes are shown at any time.
Customization:
The number of previous bars to scan for engulfing patterns can be adjusted (maxBarsback).
The maximum number of patterns displayed at any time can be modified.
Simplest Strategy Crossover with Labels Buy/Sell to $1000This Pine Script code, titled Custom Moving Average Crossover with Labels, is a trading indicator developed for the TradingView platform. It enables traders to visualize potential buy and sell signals based on the crossover of two moving averages, offering customizable settings for enhanced flexibility. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Key Features
User-Defined Moving Averages:
The script includes two moving averages: a fast and a slow one. Users can adjust the periods of each average (default values are 10 for the fast MA and 100 for the slow MA), allowing them to adapt the indicator to various market conditions and trading styles.
Time-Restricted Signal Validity:
The indicator includes settings for active trading hours, defined in UTC time. Users specify a start and end hour, making it possible to limit buy and sell signals to certain times of the day. This is especially useful for traders who wish to avoid signals outside their preferred trading hours or during periods of high volatility.
Crossover-Based Buy and Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: A "Buy" label is triggered and displayed when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average within the user-defined trading hours, signifying a potential upward trend.
Sell Signal: A "Sell" label is generated when the fast moving average crosses below the slow moving average, indicating a possible downtrend. Labels are displayed on the chart, color-coded for easy identification: green for buys and red for sells.
Profit Target Labels (+100 Points):
After each buy or sell entry, the indicator tracks price movements. When the price increases by 100 points from a buy entry or decreases by 100 points from a sell entry, a +100 label appears to signify a 100-point movement.
These labels serve as checkpoints to help traders assess performance and decide on further actions, such as taking profits or adjusting stop losses.
Visual Customization:
The moving averages are color-coded (blue for fast MA, red for slow MA) for easy distinction, and label text appears in white to enhance visibility against various chart backgrounds.
Benefits for Traders
Efficient Trade Identification: The moving average crossover combined with time-based restrictions allows traders to capture key market trends within chosen hours.
Clear Profit Checkpoints: The +100 point label alerts traders to significant price movement, useful for those looking for set profit targets.
Flexibility: Customizable inputs give users control over the indicator’s behavior, making it suitable for both day trading and swing trading.
This indicator is designed for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis with reliable, user-defined buy/sell signals, helping to increase confidence and improve trade timing based on objective data.
Aso Line v2This indicator generates buy and sell signals by analyzing volume and horizontal lines. Red and green zones are displayed on the chart.
・Red zone: indicates a short (sell) signal. When the price reaches this zone, consider a short position.
・Green zone: indicates a long (buy) signal. When the price reaches this zone, consider a long position.
This indicator uses a proprietary algorithm to analyze volume and horizontal lines to identify the best zones for trading. Specifically, we will explain and .
In addition, configuration options for using this indicator effectively will be explained. For example, there are parameters to adjust the width of the zone, the volume calculation period, and the type of horizontal line used. By adjusting these parameters, you can adapt to different market conditions and trading styles.
- The way this indicator works is to look for fractal highs or fractal lows on volume above a moving average of volume. This moving average can be changed in the settings for each time frame.
- Fractal highs are identified by three consecutive highs followed by two consecutive lows, and vice versa for fractal lows.
- A zone is created from the fractal high/low and the closing candlestick price for the selected time frame. The larger the zone, the more important it is.
- You can disable zones, change zones to show only lines, or change the color, transparency, and thickness of lines in all zones.
5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars 1.0The 5-Minute YEN Pivot Bars indicator is designed to identify and highlight low-range pivot bars on 5-minute charts, specifically tailored for Yen-based pairs (e.g., GBPJPY, USDJPY). By focusing on precise pip thresholds, this tool helps traders detect potential pivot points within specific trading sessions, while avoiding inside bars and other noise often seen in low-volatility conditions. This can be particularly useful for trend traders and those looking to refine their entry points based on intraday reversals.
Key Features:
- Customized Pip Thresholds for Yen Pairs:
The indicator is pre-configured for Yen pairs, where 1 pip is typically represented by 0.01. It applies these thresholds:
- Limited Range: 4 pips or less between open and close prices.
- High/Low Directionality: At least 3 pips from the close/open to the bar's high or low.
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 pips or less between open and close.
- Inside Bar Tolerance: A tolerance of 3 pips for inside bars, helping reduce false signals from bars contained within the previous bar's range.
- Session-Specific Alerts:
- The indicator allows you to enable alerts for the European Session (6:00-12:00), American Session (12:00-17:00), and London Close (17:00-20:00). You can adjust these times based on your own trading hours or timezone preferences via a time-shift setting.
- Receive real-time alerts when a valid bullish or bearish pivot bar is identified within the chosen sessions, allowing you to respond to potential trade opportunities immediately.
- Time Shift Customization:
- Adjust the "Time Shift" parameter to account for different time zones, ensuring accurate session alignment regardless of your local time.
How It Works:
1. Pivot Bar Identification:
The indicator scans for bars where the difference between the open and close is within the "Limited Range" threshold, and both open and close prices are close to either the high or the low of the bar.
2. Directional Filtering:
It requires the bar to show strong directional bias by enforcing an additional distance between the open/close levels and the opposite end of the bar (high/low). Only bars with this directional structure are considered for highlighting.
3. Exclusion of Inside Bars:
Bars that are completely contained within the range of the previous bar are excluded (inside bars), as are consecutive inside bars. This filtering is essential to avoid marking bars that typically indicate consolidation rather than potential pivot points.
4. Session Alerts:
When a valid pivot bar appears within the selected sessions, an alert is triggered, notifying the trader of a potential trading signal. Bullish and bearish signals are differentiated based on whether the close is near the high or low.
How to Use:
- Trend Reversals: Use this indicator to spot potential trend reversals or pullbacks on a 5-minute chart, especially within key trading sessions.
- Entry and Exit Points: Highlighted bars can serve as potential entry points for traders looking to capitalize on short-term directional changes or continuation patterns.
- Combine with Other Indicators: Consider pairing this tool with momentum indicators or trendlines to confirm the signals, providing a comprehensive analysis framework.
Default Parameters:
- Limited Range: 4 Pips
- High/Low Directionality: 3 Pips
- Open/Close Proximity: 4 Pips
- Inside Bar Tolerance: 3 Pips
- Session Alerts: Enabled for European, American, and London Close sessions
- Time Shift: Default 6 (adjustable to align with different time zones)
This indicator is specifically optimized for Yen pairs on 5-minute charts due to its pip calculation.

BB MTF FVGs & First PresentedBB MTF FVGs with First Presented FVG Highlight
The BB MTF FVGs with First Presented FVG Highlight indicator is an advanced trading tool designed to help users identify and monitor Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple timeframes, offering traders deep insight into market structure and liquidity imbalances. With the ability to track up to three distinct timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day), this indicator provides a comprehensive multi-level perspective, helping traders recognize critical support and resistance areas based on liquidity gaps. Additionally, it highlights the first FVG that presents after a specific time each day, making it especially useful for traders who prioritize session starts or key time-based market activity.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Key Features
1. Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection on Three Levels:
• Track FVGs on three user-defined timeframes for a robust view of liquidity gaps across intraday, intermediate, and higher timeframes. For instance, you could set up 1-minute, 1-hour, and 1-day timeframes to capture the market’s behavior from granular intraday action to daily structural gaps. Each timeframe is fully customizable, and users can enable or disable individual levels as needed.
2. Price Action-Driven FVG Status Analysis:
• The indicator continuously monitors price action to assess the state of each FVG. FVGs are dynamically styled based on their status:
• Untouched: FVGs with solid borders indicate that price has not yet traded into the gap.
• Mitigated: If price partially fills or “mitigates” an FVG, its borders turn dotted, providing visual feedback that the gap has seen some interaction.
• Inverted: When an FVG is fully invalidated by price moving completely through it, the border is removed, signaling the inversion. This real-time analysis gives traders instant feedback on the status of each FVG, helping them quickly assess active, mitigated, or invalidated zones.
3. Highlighting the First FVG After a Specified Time:
• A unique feature that highlights the first FVG presented after a specified time (e.g., 9:30 AM) each day, making it easy for traders to focus on session-based FVGs that could impact market direction. This feature is especially valuable for those tracking the opening range or specific session periods.
4. Configurable FVG Extension Options:
• The indicator offers flexible settings to control how long each FVG remains extended across the chart. Users can choose to extend until the first mitigation, until full mitigation, until inversion, or opt for no extension. This allows traders to adjust FVG visibility duration based on their strategy and trading style.
