SMC Structure & Expectation [WavesUnchained]SMC Structure & Expectation - Professional Context & Confirmation Tool
A sophisticated Smart Money Concepts indicator that combines objective market structure analysis with intelligent expectation logic and professional order block validation. Built for traders who value context over signal spam.
4-LAYER ARCHITECTURE
Layer 1: Market Structure
✓ Objective HH/HL/LH/LL detection based on confirmed pivot swings
✓ Internal structure tracking (micro swings within major legs)
✓ Structure alignment detection (Internal + External agreement)
✓ No predictions - pure price action description
Layer 2: Expectation/Bias
✓ Logical hypotheses derived from current structure
✓ "Expect HL" in bullish structure / "Expect LH" in bearish structure
✓ "Expect Continuation" after BOS events
✓ Expectation ≠ Signal (can be wrong, that's the point)
Layer 3: Confirmation (BOS + Order Blocks)
✓ Break of Structure (BOS) detection with 2 modes:
• Conservative: Close-cross (default)
• Aggressive: High/Low-cross with optional close confirmation
✓ Professional Order Block System with 8 intelligent filters
✓ Only creates OBs when expectation is met
✓ Maximum 1 OB per direction (quality over quantity)
Layer 4: Optional Warnings
✓ Trendline break detection
✓ Early Top/Bottom warnings (volume + volatility divergence)
✓ Can be disabled for clean chart focus
PROFESSIONAL ORDER BLOCK SYSTEM
8 Quality Filters (Cascade Logic):
1. BOS-Only Guard : No OB without confirmed Break of Structure
2. Displacement Filter : Minimum 1.0 ATR momentum (customizable)
3. Location Filter : Must be in Premium (bearish) or Discount (bullish) zone
4. Size Filter : 3 modes available:
• Hard Limit: Reject oversized OBs (strict)
• Score Penalty: Allow but reduce priority (balanced, default)
• Disabled: No size filtering (permissive)
5. Volume Filter : Optional relative volume threshold
6. FVG Filter : Optional Fair Value Gap requirement
7. Mitigation Tracking : 30% penetration = mitigated (score penalty)
8. TTL (Time-To-Live) : Auto-delete after 80 bars (prevents chart clutter)
Priority Scoring System (0-100):
• HIGH Priority (>80) : Bright colors, zero transparency
• MED Priority (50-80) : Normal colors, 30% transparency
• LOW Priority (<50) : Faded colors, 60% transparency
Score Components:
✓ Displacement strength (10-30 points)
✓ FVG confluence (+20 points)
✓ Relative volume (+5-15 points)
✓ Premium/Discount location (+10-20 points)
✓ Structure alignment (+30 points if aligned, -15 if conflict)

BAR COLORING MODES
Choose your preferred visual feedback:
1. Off : No bar coloring
2. Structure : Bullish/Bearish/Neutral structure states
3. Expectation : Continuation zones (green = expect bullish, red = expect bearish)
4. BOS + OB Priority (Default):
• Highlights active Order Blocks by priority
• BOS events in bright neon
• Faded structure colors when no OB active
5. Multi-Layer : Combines structure + priority intensity
6. Alignment : Shows Internal/External structure alignment (orange = conflict warning)
INTELLIGENT LOGGING SYSTEM
Priority-based log filtering to reduce noise:

PHILOSOPHY
This indicator follows the principle: "Context over signals, quality over quantity"
Expectations can be wrong - that's the point. They help you stay aware of the most likely scenario while remaining open to structure changes. When expectation is met AND confirmed by BOS + quality OB, you get a high-conviction setup.
Not a holy grail. Not a signal service. A professional analysis tool.

RSI Structure Engine (Aggressive Soft) | It measures the direction (trend) and turning points of the market via RSI(7).
But unlike the classic RSI:
It doesn't say "sell at 70 - buy at 30" ❌
Instead:
It reveals the STRUCTURE of the RSI (HH–HL / LH–LL).
That is:
Is there a trend?
Is the trend continuing?
Has the trend ended?
It divides the RSI into 3 zones:
Zone Meaning
RSI ≥ 70 Strong upward momentum (peak regime)
RSI ≤ 30 Strong downward momentum (bottom regime)
30–70 Transition / breathing space
But the key point is this 👇
The bottom/top RSI is FOLLOWED within these regimes, it doesn't lock in immediately.
What and How
🔺 🔻 Locked RSI peak/trough
HH/HL RSI upward trend
LH/LL RSI downward trend
Small points being followed (not yet locked)
If RSI HL breaks, the trend ends
WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T DO?
❌ Don't assume it's a buy-sell indicator alone
❌ Don't short just because you see RSI 70
❌ Don't long just because you see RSI 30
This indicator:
Answers the question "Which side should I be on?"
It doesn't say "Enter right here"
TREND FILTER (MAIN USE)
LONG LOOK:
Last structure: HH + HL
RSI doesn't fall below 30
🔻 HL is protected
SHORT LOOK:
Last structure: LH + LL
RSI cannot rise above 70
🔺 LH is protected
❌ Don't take a trade in the opposite direction.

ORB Breakout & RetestORB Breakout & Breakdown Indicator - Complete Opening Range Strategy
Description :
The ORB (Opening Range Breakout) Breakout & Retest Indicator is a simple tool designed to identify opening range breakouts and breakdowns with retest confirmation. This indicator works on ANY timeframe while automatically analyzing 1-minute price action to detect precise entry signals.
What makes this indicator unique:
- ✅ Multi-Timeframe ORB Analysis - Simultaneously tracks 5-min, 15-min, and 30-min opening ranges
- ✅ Smart Retest Logic - Filters false breakouts by requiring price to retest and confirm the level
- ✅ Works on Any Chart Timeframe - View on 5-min, 15-min, 1-hour, or daily charts while getting 1-minute precision
- ✅ Both Long & Short Signals - Detects bullish breakouts AND bearish breakdowns
- ✅ Customizable Alerts - Get notified when confirmed setups occur
- ✅ Clean Visual Display - Compact table showing all ORB levels and signal status
How it Works:
Opening Range Detection :
- 5-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-9:35 AM
- 15-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-9:45 AM
- 30-Min ORB: Captures high/low from 9:30-10:00 AM
Breakout Confirmation (3-Step Process) :
1. Initial Break - Price closes above ORB High (or below ORB Low for shorts)
2. Retest - Price pulls back to retest the broken level
3. Confirmation - Price breaks through again, confirming the trend
This retest requirement dramatically reduces false signals and helps you enter trades with better risk/reward.
Perfect For :
- Day traders looking for opening range strategies
- Scalpers who need precise entry signals
- Swing traders identifying strong intraday momentum
- Anyone trading stocks, futures, forex, or crypto during market hours

BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple (Open-Source)Title: BTC - BEAM: Adaptive Multiple Cycle Oscillator | RM
Overview & Philosophy
The BTC - BEAM (Bitcoin Economics Adaptive Multiple) is a premier macro-valuation tool designed to identify the "Logarithmic Pulse" of Bitcoin's 4-year cycles. Unlike standard oscillators that lose relevance as the network grows, BEAM uses an adaptive baseline that tracks Bitcoin’s fundamental growth curve with precision.
It identifies the harmonic distance between the current price and its multi-year mean, helping you spot the rare windows of deep capitulation and terminal euphoria.
Methodology
This edition is a hardened, gap-proof and Open-Source implementation of the canonical BEAM model.
1. The 1400-Day Anchor (200 Weeks):
The model is anchored to a 1400-day Simple Moving Average. On the Weekly chart, this aligns with the legendary 200-week moving average—the historical "floor" of the Bitcoin network. It represents one full halving cycle of data.
2. Daily-Lock Architecture:
Even when viewed on the 1W chart, the script performs its calculations using Daily data. This ensures that the oscillator captures the exact peak day of a cycle, providing a "high-resolution" signal within a "low-noise" weekly environment.
3. Logarithmic Normalization:
We calculate the natural logarithm of the price-to-mean relationship, scaled by a factor of 2.5: Score = ln(Price / 1400d MA) / 2.5 This creates a standardized "Multiple" that remains comparable across all Bitcoin eras.
How to Read the Chart (1W Context)
🟧 The BEAM Line (Orange): Tracks the "macro heat" of the market. On the 1W chart, look for the slope of this line to identify cycle acceleration.
🔴 The Cycle Ceiling (Score > 1.0): Historical Cycle Tops. When the weekly candle sustains in this zone, the market has reached a state of unsustainable mania. Every major blow-off top has been captured in this red corridor.
🟢 The Cycle Floor (Score < 0.1): Generational Accumulation. On the 1W chart, these zones appear as extended "green troughs." These are the only times in history where Bitcoin is fundamentally "too cheap" relative to its 4-year trend.
The Status Dashboard
The bottom-right monitor provides immediate cycle classification:
• BEAM Score: The exact logarithmic multiple.
• Cycle Regime: ACCUMULATION , NEUTRAL , or OVERHEATED .
Credits
BitcoinEcon: For the original concept of the BEAM adaptive model.
⚠️ RECOMMENDATION: While this indicator captures daily data, it is strongly recommended to be viewed on the Weekly (1W) Timeframe. The 1W chart filters market noise and perfectly reveals the long-term "Cycle Narrative."

ITCP ATR BB RSI Stoch SignalsThis indicator generates BUY/SELL signals when price stretches outside Bollinger Bands during elevated volatility, confirmed by RSI, a Stochastic crossover, and a volume filter. To reduce counter-trend entries, it applies a macro trend filter using the Daily SMA 200: it looks for longs only above the SMA 200 and shorts only below it.
It tends to perform best in Forex, especially on liquid pairs, because market conditions (liquidity, continuous sessions, and relatively stable spreads on major pairs) often suit this confirmation-based approach. That said, it can be adapted to other markets (indices, commodities, or crypto) by tuning parameters such as Bollinger length/deviation, RSI/Stoch thresholds, and ATR settings (multipliers/factors) to fit the asset’s volatility.
It also plots ATR-based stop-loss reference levels (configurable smoothing) and includes webhook-ready alerts with a JSON payload (action, symbol, price, stop_loss, time, and interval) for external automation. The goal is to support rules-based execution and reduce impulsive trades: if conditions don’t align, there’s no signal.
If you manage to improve it, discover better settings, or build a more robust solution inspired by this, I’d really appreciate it if you share it back (even if it’s just feedback or an idea). I’m open to collaborating and iterating together to create stronger versions over time.
Custom Session ORB - Extending Past Current CandleCustom Session ORB - Extending Past Current Candle
This indicator plots Opening Range Breakout (ORB) levels for one or two customizable trading sessions directly on your chart. It dynamically tracks the high, low, and midpoint of the defined session(s) and extends these levels beyond the session using a configurable offset.
Features:
Supports two custom sessions.
New York and Asia pre-saved.
Automatically tracks session High, Low, and Mid.
Option to extend ORB levels past the live candle.
Option to display only the most recent ORB for a clean chart.
Configurable line thickness, style, and label size.
Works in Eastern Standard Time (EST) without manual adjustment.
Settings:
Show Labels: Toggle to display ORB values on chart.
Label Font Size: Small, Normal, Large.
Mid Line Style: Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.
ORB Line Thickness: Set line thickness of ORB levels.
Extend Past Current Candle by N Bars: Controls how far the ORB extends visually.
Show Only Current ORB: Cleans chart by removing previous session ORB levels.
Enable Session 1 / 2: Toggle individual sessions on/off.
Session Time: Set the start and end times for each session (automatically in EST).
How It Works:
The indicator monitors the defined session time, records the high, low, and midpoint, and draws lines at those levels. When the session ends, the lines are extended by the specified offset for easy breakout visualization. Labels can optionally show the exact price levels.

This indicator has been further developed and enhanced with additional features.
Vertical Timelines Pro is a customizable time-based indicator designed to mark important intraday timestamps directly on the chart. It helps traders visualize recurring market moments such as True Day Open, session opens, macro events, or personal timing models with precise vertical reference lines.
The indicator allows you to define multiple custom times, each with its own color and on/off toggle. All timestamps are calculated using a selectable timezone, ensuring consistent and accurate alignment across different markets and chart settings.
Optional labels can be displayed at each timeline to clearly identify the corresponding time. To keep the chart clean and readable, the number of visible labels can be limited retroactively. Due to Pine Script limitations, this setting only affects labels—plotted lines are not impacted.
💎 Key Features 💎
Multiple configurable intraday time markers
Timezone-aware calculations
Individual color and visibility control per line
Optional time labels with customizable size and colors
Historical label limiting to reduce chart clutter
Lightweight and suitable for all intraday timeframes
This indicator is ideal for traders who rely on time-based market behavior, session structure, or repeatable intraday cycles.
Happy Trading!

Essential Market Awareness, Reduced to Its Core
M🜁rketMind LITE is a lightweight market awareness tool designed to display essential situational context .
It provides basic orientation and movement awareness without interpretation, risk framing, diagnostics, or decision guidance.
This script is designed as a standalone awareness layer. It does not evaluate trade quality, issue signals, or influence decision-making.
WHAT IT DOES ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind LITE presents a minimal, static view of current market conditions focused entirely on awareness rather than analysis.
The system displays only essential context, allowing traders to stay oriented without introducing judgment, noise, or implied direction.
The script provides visibility into:
Time-of-day session context
Basic market regime classification (trending, range-bound, mixed)
Short-term momentum direction only (up, down, neutral)
A clean, static HUD display
M🜁rketMind LITE also includes a minimal visual state indicator that reflects recent price responsiveness, intended to be observed over time alongside the trader’s own experience.
The goal is to support awareness without influence .
HOW TO USE IT ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind LITE is not a signal generator.
It is designed to remain visible in the background of any chart, offering quiet orientation while traders rely entirely on their own process for analysis and execution.
Common use cases include:
Maintaining session awareness
Preserving context during focused trading periods
Reducing cognitive load while monitoring markets
M🜁rketMind LITE does not evaluate risk, alignment, or opportunity.
It simply shows what is happening.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind LITE is intentionally minimal.
It includes only essential awareness elements and excludes all interpretive or evaluative logic:
Situational context only
Directional momentum (up / down / neutral)
No diagnostics, confidence, or conviction framing
No process, risk, or quality assessment
Presentation controls only (HUD on/off, size, position)
Nothing is inferred.
Nothing is suggested.
This script shows market state without interpretation.
WHO IT IS FOR ────────────────────
M🜁rketMind LITE is suited for traders who:
Want passive situational awareness
Prefer minimal on-chart information
Already operate with a defined decision process
It is not designed for:
Analytical or diagnostic use
Risk evaluation or context synthesis
Traders seeking guidance or confirmation

Liquidity ZonesLiquidity Zones
Liquidity Zones is a price-action–based indicator designed to identify high-probability support and resistance areas where liquidity has historically accumulated.
Instead of drawing single lines, the script builds dynamic price zones based on repeated pivot reactions validated by volume, helping traders focus on meaningful levels rather than noise.
How It Works
Pivot Detection
The indicator scans historical price data for pivot highs and pivot lows using a fixed pivot strength.
Each pivot represents a potential liquidity interaction point.
Volume Qualification
A pivot is only considered valid if the volume at the pivot bar exceeds:
Volume SMA × Sensitivity
This filters out weak or low-participation levels and keeps zones formed during strong market interest.
Zone Construction
Nearby pivots are grouped into a single zone if their price difference stays within an ATR-based threshold.
Each time price reacts within this threshold, the zone’s touch count increases.
Once the minimum number of touches is reached, a liquidity zone is drawn and extended to the right.
Adaptive Zone Expansion
As new qualifying pivots appear, zones automatically expand to reflect the true liquidity range instead of staying static.
Dynamic Zone Coloring
Zones update their color in real time based on price position:
Green (Support) → Price is above the zone
Red (Resistance) → Price is below the zone
Gray (In-Zone) → Price is trading inside the zone
This allows instant visual feedback on whether a level is acting as support, resistance, or an active liquidity area.
Settings Overview
Bars to Apply
Controls how much historical data is scanned for liquidity zones.
Volume Sensitivity
Higher values require stronger volume spikes to validate pivots, resulting in fewer but higher-quality zones.
Styling Options
Fully customizable colors and transparency for support, resistance, and in-zone states.
Best Use Cases
Identifying high-liquidity support and resistance zones
Planning entries, exits, and stop placement
Combining with trend-following or momentum indicators
Filtering out weak levels in sideways or choppy markets
Support and ResistanceSupport & Resistance Zones
This indicator automatically identifies support and resistance zones by clustering confirmed pivot highs and lows into statistically valid price areas.
Instead of drawing single horizontal lines, it creates price zones whose width is dynamically controlled using ATR (Average True Range), allowing the zones to adapt to market volatility.
Core Logic
The indicator scans a user-defined number of historical bars and detects pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable pivot strength.
Each new pivot is evaluated against previously detected zones:
A zone becomes visible only after receiving sufficient confirmation (minimum number of pivot touches).
This ensures that only structurally meaningful levels are drawn.
Zone Construction Rules
Zones are formed by grouping pivot points whose total price range remains within ATR range
Each zone expands dynamically as new pivots confirm it
Zones are drawn as rectangular areas, not lines
Zones extend to the right, remaining active until price structure changes
This approach avoids over-plotting and reduces noise commonly seen in traditional support/resistance tools.
Dynamic Zone Coloring
Zones automatically change color based on current price position:
Support Color → Price is above the zone
Resistance Color → Price is below the zone
Neutral (In-Zone) Color → Price is trading inside the zone
This makes it easy to visually assess market context without additional indicators.
Inputs Explained
Logic Settings
Bars to Apply
Number of historical bars scanned to detect pivots and construct zones.
Pivot Strength
Number of candles required on both sides of a pivot high/low for confirmation.
Min Pivot Confirmation
Minimum number of aligned pivots required before a zone is drawn.
Styling
Support, resistance, and in-zone colors
Zone fill transparency
Why This Approach
Uses price structure, not arbitrary levels
Adapts to market volatility via ATR
Filters out weak, single-touch levels
Works across all markets and timeframes
This indicator is designed to highlight areas of interest, not generate buy or sell signals.
It is best used in combination with trend, momentum, or volume-based tools.
