Elder AutoEnvelope with Overbought/Oversold Levels with LabelsThe **"Elder AutoEnvelope with Overbought/Oversold Levels with Labels"** is a technical analysis tool designed to help identify overbought and oversold levels in the market, as well as potential reversal points. It uses moving averages and price volatility to detect possible price extremes.
### Indicator Description:
- **Center EMA (26)**: Acts as the main trend line.
- **Envelope Channels**: These are constructed around the central EMA using the current price volatility. The main channel lines are determined by multiplying the standard deviation of the price by the chosen multiplier.
- **Additional Overbought/Oversold Levels**: Displayed on the chart with different colors and thicknesses to highlight small, moderate, strong, and very strong levels.
- **Labels**: Show specific levels when the price reaches areas of overbought or oversold conditions.
### How to Apply in Practice:
1. **Identifying Extremes**: The indicator shows areas where the price is considered overbought or oversold relative to the current trend. When the price touches or exceeds these levels, it can indicate a potential reversal or correction.
2. **Entry/Exit Signals**:
- **Entry on Oversold**: If the price reaches the lower Envelope lines (especially at strong or very strong oversold levels), it may be a good buying signal.
- **Exit on Overbought**: If the price touches the upper lines (especially at strong or very strong overbought levels), it signals a potential selling opportunity.
3. **Combining with Other Indicators**: It’s recommended to use this indicator alongside oscillators like RSI or MACD for signal confirmation.
4. **Trend Analysis**: The central EMA (26) helps identify the trend direction. If the price is above it, the trend is considered bullish; if below, bearish.
This indicator is particularly useful in volatile markets and helps detect price movements near highs or lows.

HTF Inversion Fair Value Gap | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Higher Timeframe Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator! Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. This indicator finds the latest IFVG in a higher timeframe and renders it in the current chart with it's divergence. For more information about the process, read the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section of the description.
Features of the new Higher Timeframe IFVG Indicator :
Renders The Higher Timeframe IFVG
Invalidation Borders
Variety Of Zone Detection / Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator lets you take a look at the bigger picture by rendering the latest IFVG in a higher timeframe. You can see the current IFVG divergence to see how is the price action acting around the IFVG. You also can customize the FVG Filtering method, FVG & IFVG Zone Invalidation, Detection Sensitivity etc. according to your needs to get the best performance from the indicator.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
This indicator then renders the IFVG in a higher timeframe in your chart like this :
The opaque dashed lines at the top and the bottom of the IFVG indicate the bars that formed the original FVG. The middle dashed line that is semi-transparent shows the candlestick that invalidated the original FVG, thus created the current IFVG. The vertical solid top & bottom wicks indicate the current divergence of the highest & lowest points to the current IFVG.
The IFVGs can act as strong support & resistance points, depending on their creation volume and invalidation volume. Traders can use them for confirmation signals to their positions.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Higher Timeframe -> The higher timeframe to detect latest IFVG from. Keep in mind that his setting must be higher than the current timeframe.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Dasboard
You can enable / disable the mitigation dashboard and customize it here.
4. Customization
Offset -> The number of candlesticks the IFVG will be rendered to the right of the latest bar.
Width -> The width of the rendered IFVG in candlesticks.
Volatility Breaker Blocks [BigBeluga]The Volatility Breaker Blocks indicator identifies key market levels based on significant volatility at pivot highs and lows. It plots blocks that act as potential support and resistance zones, marked in green (support) and blue (resistance). Even after a breakout, these blocks leave behind shadow boxes that continue to impact price action. The sensitivity of block detection can be adjusted in the settings, allowing traders to customize the identification of volatility breakouts. The blocks print triangle labels (up or down) after breakouts, indicating potential areas of interest.
🔵 IDEA
The Volatility Breaker Blocks indicator is designed to highlight key areas in the market where volatility has created significant price action. These blocks, created at pivot highs and lows with increased volatility, act as potential support and resistance levels.
The idea is that even after price breaks through these blocks, the remaining shadow boxes continue to influence price movements. By focusing on volatility-driven pivot points, traders can better anticipate how price may react when it revisits these areas. The indicator also captures the natural tendency for price to retest broken resistance or support levels.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ High Volatility Breaker Blocks:
The indicator identifies areas of high volatility at pivot highs and lows, plotting blocks that represent these zones. Green blocks represent support zones (identified at pivot lows), while blue blocks represent resistance zones (identified at pivot highs).
Support:
Resistance:
◉ Shadow Blocks after Breakouts:
When price breaks through a block, the block doesn't disappear. Instead, it leaves behind a shadow box, which can still influence future price action. These shadow blocks act as secondary support or resistance levels.
If the price crosses these shadow blocks, the block stops extending, and the right edge of the box is fixed at the point where the price crosses it. This feature helps traders monitor important price levels even after the initial breakout has occurred.
◉ Triangle Labels for Breakouts:
After the price breaks through a volatility block, the indicator prints triangle labels (up or down) at the breakout points.
◉ Support and Resistance Retests:
One of the key concepts in this indicator is the retesting of broken blocks. After breaking a resistance block, price often returns to the shadow box, which then acts as support. Similarly, after breaking a support block, price tends to return to the shadow box, which becomes a resistance level. This concept of price retesting and bouncing off these levels is essential for understanding how the indicator can be used to identify potential entries and exits.
The natural tendency of price to retest broken resistance or support levels.
Additionaly indicator can display retest signals of broken support or resistance
◉ Customizable Sensitivity:
The sensitivity of volatility detection can be adjusted in the settings. A higher sensitivity captures fewer but more significant breakouts, while a lower sensitivity captures more frequent volatility breakouts. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Calculation Window: Defines the window of bars over which the breaker blocks are calculated. A larger window will capture longer-term levels, while a smaller window focuses on more recent volatility areas.
Volatility Sensitivity: Adjusts the threshold for volatility detection. Lower sensitivity captures smaller breakouts, while higher sensitivity focuses on larger, more significant moves.
Retest Signals: Display or hide retest signals of shadow boxes

- Filled regions between these horizontal lines provide visual cues for potential overbought or oversold zones.
These are the main highlights of the script, which focuses on trend detection, visualization of pivot points, and dynamic line plotting based on price action.
Aurous - Horizontal Rays Define Pip Size:
Since 1 pip for XAUUSD is usually considered as 0.1, the pip Size is set to 0.1. A 50-pip interval is therefore 50 * 0.1 = 5.0.
Nearest Pip Level Calculation:
We find the nearest 50-pip level based on the current price of XAUUSD. The formula nearestPipLevel = round(close / pipInterval) * pipInterval rounds the current price to the nearest multiple of the 50-pip interval.
Loop for Multiple Lines:
We use a loop that runs from -20 to 20 to plot horizontal ray lines 50 pips above and below the current price. The range (-20 to 20) ensures there are enough lines plotted both above and below the price.
Horizontal Ray Lines:
The line.new function is used to draw the horizontal rays, extending to the right.
Plot Current Price:
We also plot the closing price with a blue line to make it easier to track the price against the horizontal rays.
Strength/Weakness IndicatorThe Strength/Weakness Indicator is a customisable tool designed to help traders identify key areas of market strength and weakness based on the 50% Fibonacci retracement level .
█ Underlying Concept:
The concept behind this indicator draws heavily on the principles of Fibonacci retracement and WD Gann’s market theories , particularly the importance of the 50% level in signalling critical psychological areas of support and resistance. Historically, the 50% retracement level has been regarded as a key marker where markets either find new buyers/sellers or continue a trend. Gann himself placed significant emphasis on the halfway point of a previous market move as a critical level for market strength and reversal.
Strength : When an asset is trading above the 50% retracement level, it suggests that buyers are in control and that the market is showing strength. This is particularly useful for traders aiming to ride the continuation of an uptrend.
Weakness : Conversely, when the price falls below the 50% retracement level, it indicates that sellers are dominating, and the market is showing signs of weakness. This can be an early indication of a potential reversal or further decline.
█ Key Features:
1 — Multi-Timeframe Fibonacci Analysis :
This indicator supports up to two distinct retracement levels, allowing traders to analyse multiple timeframes simultaneously. Customise the look-back periods for each level to track the highest high and lowest low over your chosen period.
The tool is adaptable to short-term, swing trading, and long-term investing, making it useful across different trading styles.
2 — Dynamic Strength/Weakness Labelling :
The script dynamically calculates and displays whether the asset is “STRONG” or “WEAK” based on its position relative to the 50% retracement levels. If the price is above both levels, it is considered "VERY STRONG." Conversely, trading below both levels signals "VERY WEAK" conditions. This real-time feedback helps traders gauge market sentiment with ease.
3 — Customizable Visual Representation :
Both retracement levels are fully customisable, including line colours, styles, and thicknesses. The script offers custom background fills—highlighting areas of strength (green) and weakness (red)—to provide a clear visual aid for identifying key price zones.
Traders can modify the appearance of text labels (size, colour, position) and choose whether to extend lines left, right, both directions, or not at all.
4 — Cross-Timeframe Validation :
Traders can cross-reference price action between two timeframes to confirm trends. If both levels signal strength or weakness, it validates market momentum, increasing confidence in trade decisions.
5 — Strategic Decision-Making Aid :
The indicator aids in identifying support and resistance zones based on the 50% retracement level. Use it to time entries and exits effectively: price above the 50% level suggests potential trend continuation, while falling below may indicate reversal.
█ How It Works:
1 — Defining Custom Timeframes :
The trader selects custom time periods (days, weeks, months, or years) to calculate the highest high and lowest low, allowing precise control over the analysis.
2 — Calculating Strength/Weakness :
Once the 50% retracement level is calculated, the price’s position relative to it determines the market’s condition. Above 50% signals strength, below signals weakness.
3 — Comparing Multiple Timeframes :
Enable a second retracement level to compare different time periods. This feature is useful for spotting divergences between short-term and long-term trends or validating strength across timeframes.
█ How to Use:
1 — Assess Market Conditions :
If price trades above both 50% retracement levels, it indicates strong bullish momentum. Conversely, trading below both levels signals bearish conditions.
2 — Plan Entries/Exits :
Use the 50% level as a reference for support and resistance. Plan to enter when the price bounces off the 50% level, or exit if it breaks down below this critical level.
3 — Cross-Timeframe Analysis :
Validate the market trend by comparing retracement levels across different timeframes. This helps in confirming whether the trend is strong enough to justify holding a position.
█ Why This Indicator is Unique:
Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Analysis : While most Fibonacci indicators focus on a single period, this tool provides a deeper understanding by allowing traders to compare price action across multiple timeframes.
Customizable and Dynamic : The real-time strength/weakness labeling, customizable background fills, and the ability to analyze two retracement levels simultaneously make this tool adaptable to any trading strategy.
Valuable for All Traders : Whether you are day trading, swing trading, or investing long-term, the Strength/Weakness Indicator offers clarity on key market levels and sentiment, improving decision-making for entries and exits.
Disclaimer : This script is for educational purposes and is not financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, so please consult a professional advisor before making investment decisions. For the best results, use this indicator alongside other technical analysis methods like trend lines or moving averages to help you confirm signals and make more informed decisions.
Psychological Price Level - Prime TradingThis Pine Script is designed for the TradingView platform to display **Psychological Price Levels (PPLs)** on the chart. These levels represent key price zones, such as round numbers (e.g., 1.000, 1.500), which traders often consider as significant support or resistance levels.
### Main Features:
1. **PPL Level Calculation:**
- The script calculates and plots psychological price levels above and below the current price based on the instrument's tick size.
- It can plot multiple levels determined by the user through inputs.
2. **Visual Representation:**
- Each PPL level is shown as a horizontal line, styled according to user preferences (solid, dotted, or dashed), with a customizable color and width.
3. **Highlighting Levels with Boxes:**
- A semi-transparent colored box surrounds each PPL level, highlighting these zones visually.
- The color and size of the box can be adjusted, with a default color close to `#9FA5B8` (a light blue-gray), and 90% transparency to blend into the background.
4. **Customization:**
- Users can customize the number of PPLs plotted, the style of the lines, box color, and line thickness, making the levels adaptable to different chart setups.
In summary, this script helps traders quickly identify key psychological price levels on the chart, aiding decision-making by highlighting these important zones.
Key Zone LocatorThe "Key Locator" indicator identifies important price levels on a chart by analyzing historical data. It does this by:
Counting Touches: It calculates how many times the price touches each level within a specified period. This helps identify levels that the market frequently interacts with, which can indicate significant support or resistance.
Measuring Volume: It also sums up the trading volume at each level during the same period. High volume at a particular level can suggest strong interest or activity, making that level more significant.s based on historical market activity.
By combining these two metrics—touches and volume—the indicator highlights the most important price level on the chart, helping traders make informed decisions based on where the market has shown significant activity in the past.
Level Calculation:
The indicator first identifies the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, which is determined by the length parameter. It then divides this price range into 200 equal segments, creating potential key levels across the chart. Each segment represents a level where the price might show significant activity.
Metric Calculation:
For each of these levels, the indicator calculates two key metrics. First, it counts how many times the price touches or crosses each level during the specified period. Second, it sums up the trading volume associated with these touches at each level. This dual analysis helps in identifying levels that are not only frequently interacted with but also have substantial trading activity.
Normalization:
To facilitate comparison between different levels, the indicator normalizes both the touch count and the volume for each level to a scale from 0 to 10. This involves dividing each metric by its maximum observed value in the period and scaling it accordingly, ensuring that both metrics are on a comparable scale.
Scoring and Balancing:
Each level is assigned a score based on a weighted average of its normalized touch and volume scores. The weight_balance parameter allows users to adjust the emphasis between touches and volume. A higher weight on touches will prioritize levels frequently interacted with, while more emphasis on volume will highlight levels with significant trading activity.
Identify Key Level:
Finally, the indicator identifies the level with the highest combined score as the most significant. This key level is plotted on the chart in red, providing traders with a visual indication of potential areas of support or resistance based on historical data.
This comprehensive approach allows traders to pinpoint where crucial market activity has occurred, aiding them in making strategic decisions based on historical price behavior and trading volumes.
Please note that while the "Key Locator" indicator provides valuable insights based on historical data, it does not guarantee future performance or outcomes. Trading involves risks, and it's important to use this tool in conjunction with other analysis methods and risk management strategies. Always consider your financial situation and consult with a financial advisor if necessary before making trading decisions.
Rolling Straddle PremiumScript is Basically intended to provide insight's on the Rolling Straddle premium for the selected index based on the input settings.
Important thing to consider for the script to work seamlessly:
Specify the LTP in the input field (need not be very accurate)
Specify the Expiry Date for the Option Strike.
Ensure Profile matches to the chart script (Index Script)
Note: Zones marked in Blue, is the max level that indicator can track the option prices. beyond which it may fail to track, during such time consider reloading the indicator with Latest LTP .
Labels on the chart indicate that If i had shorted the Straddle, what would be my current position of that Straddle. however the rational behind shorting is only the pivot high points (not sure if this is right or wrong! )
Note On Labels: Labels are delayed basis the pivot point candles specified in the indicator settings.
EN: Entry Price (Straddle Premium) of the Strike Specified.
Cur: Current Price ( Current Straddle Premium ) of the Strike Specified.
SH: Max Straddle Premium ( Increase in Premium ) since position is active.
SL: Min Straddle Premium ( Premium Erosion ) since position is active.
Ultimate ZonesThe story is simple: I didn't find a support/resistance zones indicator that I actually liked, so I made my own.
Features:
Independent of the chart timeframe (zones don't change if you switch timeframes) - very important for practical use
Live mode (repainting) plus historic mode (non-repainting)
Selectable timeframe for zone calculation (default: daily)
Can adjust how far the indicator looks back into the past (default: 500 days)
Can adjust pivot period to find more or fewer zones
Zone heights are based on long-term ATR (to adapt to the asset's volatility automatically)
Price tolerance multiplier is adjustable
Option to merge zones which are close together into one ("fat zones")
I find that together these options (especially those in the "sensitivity" section) allow me to automatically generate almost all the zones I want to see. Occasionally, I do draw some additional zones to get the perfect image I'm looking for on the chart.
Explanation
We detect pivot points on the selected zone timeframe (taking pivot period and lookback limit into account). Then we combine these pivot points into a zone if they are close enough together in price (here the tolerance parameter comes into play). If "fat zones" is selected, we perform these merges more aggressively even if the resulting zone becomes taller than the standard tolerance.
The ATR used for the tolerance is a 500 period ATR, but if there are less than 500 bars available, we use the average of the bars available so far, so we always have a value to work with.
In order for a zone to be displayed, it must have been touched by at least 2 separate pivot points. We do not distinguish between pivot highs and pivot lows because support is known to turn into resistance and vice versa.
In live mode, we draw the currently active zones as boxes.
In historic mode, we plot the active zones at each bar using "plot" and "fill", so there is no repainting or erasing, and you can see which zones were active at any past date. For practical reasons, we draw a maximum of 15 zones around the current price (i.e. 7-8 zones above and 7-8 zones below the price).
Fibonacci Pivot | SyedFibonacci pivots combine Fibonacci retracement levels with pivot points to provide potential support and resistance levels. This tool is based on the idea that price tends to retrace a predictable portion of a move, after which it often continues in the original direction.
Here’s a breakdown of Fibonacci pivots:
1. Pivot Point (PP)
The central level that acts as the main reference point for support and resistance levels. It’s calculated as the average of the high, low, and close of the previous period (typically a day).
Formula:
𝑃
𝑃
=
(
𝐻
𝑖
𝑔
ℎ
+
𝐿
𝑜
𝑤
+
𝐶
𝑙
𝑜
𝑠
𝑒
)
3
PP=
3
(High+Low+Close)
2. Fibonacci-Based Support and Resistance Levels
These levels are derived by multiplying the range (High - Low) of the previous period with key Fibonacci ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 61.8%, etc.), then adding or subtracting this result from the Pivot Point.
The Fibonacci ratios used in Fibonacci pivots are typically:
38.2%: A strong retracement level.
61.8%: The golden ratio, a key Fibonacci level that often acts as major support or resistance.
100%: Full retracement from the previous period's high or low.
Fibonacci Support Levels (S1, S2, S3, etc.)
These levels indicate potential areas where the price might find support:
S1 = PP - (Range * 0.382)
S2 = PP - (Range * 0.618)
S3 = PP - (Range * 1)
Fibonacci Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3, etc.)
These are the areas where price might face resistance:
R1 = PP + (Range * 0.382)
R2 = PP + (Range * 0.618)
R3 = PP + (Range * 1)
Interpretation
R1/R2/R3: Potential resistance levels where price might face selling pressure.
S1/S2/S3: Potential support levels where price might encounter buying interest.
Pivot Point (PP): Acts as the primary level of interest. If the price is above the PP, it suggests bullish sentiment; if below, bearish sentiment.

RSI (Kernel Optimized) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new KDE Optimized RSI Indicator! This indicator adds a new aspect to the well-known RSI indicator, with the help of the KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) algorithm, estimates the probability of a candlestick will be a pivot or not. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new KDE Optimized RSI Indicator :
A New Approach To Pivot Detection
Customizable KDE Algorithm
Realtime RSI & KDE Dashboard
Alerts For Possible Pivots
Customizable Visuals
❓ HOW TO INTERPRET THE KDE %
The KDE % is a critical metric that reflects how closely the current RSI aligns with the KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) array. In simple terms, it represents the likelihood that the current candlestick is forming a pivot point based on historical data patterns. a low percentage suggests a lower probability of the current candlestick being a pivot point. In these cases, price action is less likely to reverse, and existing trends may continue. At moderate levels, the possibility of a pivot increases, indicating potential trend shifts or consolidations.Traders should start monitoring closely for confirmation signals. An even higher KDE % suggests a strong likelihood that the current candlestick could form a pivot point, which could lead to a reversal or significant price movement. These points often align with overbought or oversold conditions in traditional RSI analysis, making them key moments for potential trade entry or exit.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a widely used oscillator among traders. It outputs a value between 0 - 100 and gives a glimpse about the current momentum of the price action. This indicator then calculates the RSI for each candlesticks, and saves them into an array if the candlestick is a pivot. The low & high pivot RSIs' are inserted into two different arrays. Then the a KDE array is calculated for both of the low & high pivot RSI arrays. Explaining the KDE might be too much for this write-up, but for a brief explanation, here are the steps :
1. Define the necessary options for the KDE function. These are : Bandwidth & Nº Steps, Array Range (Array Max - Array Min)
2. After that, create a density range array. The array has (steps * 2 - 1) elements and they are calculated by (arrMin + i * stepCount), i being the index.
3. Then, define a kernel function. This indicator has 3 different kernel distribution modes : Uniform, Gaussian and Sigmoid
4. Then, define a temporary value for the current element of KDE array.
5. For each element E in the pivot RSI array, add "kernel(densityRange.get(i) - E, 1.0 / bandwidth)" to the temporary value.
6. Add 1.0 / arrSize * to the KDE array.
Then the prefix sum array of the KDE array is calculated. For each candlestick, the index closest to it's RSI value in the KDE array is found using binary search. Then for the low pivot KDE calculation, the sum of KDE values from found index to max index is calculated. For the high pivot KDE, the sum of 0 to found index is used. Then if high or low KDE value is greater than the activation threshold determined in the settings, a bearish or bullish arrow is plotted after bar confirmation respectively. The arrows are drawn as long as the KDE value of current candlestick is greater than the threshold. When the KDE value is out of the threshold, a less transparent arrow is drawn, indicating a possible pivot point.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator combines RSI & KDE Algorithm to get a foresight of possible pivot points. Pivot points are important entry, confirmation and exit points for traders. But to their nature, they can be only detected after more candlesticks are rendered after them. The purpose of this indicator is to alert the traders of possible pivot points using KDE algorithm right away when they are confirmed. The indicator also has a dashboard for realtime view of the current RSI & Bullish or Bearish KDE value. You can fully customize the KDE algorithm and set up alerts for pivot detection.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. RSI Settings
RSI Length -> The amount of bars taken into account for RSI calculation.
Source -> The source value for RSI calculation.
2. Pivots
Pivot Lengths -> Pivot lengths for both high & low pivots. For example, if this value is set to 21; 21 bars before AND 21 bars after a candlestick must be higher for a candlestick to be a low pivot.
3. KDE
Activation Threshold -> This setting determines the amount of arrows shown. Higher options will result in more arrows being rendered.
Kernel -> The kernel function as explained in the upper section.
Bandwidth -> The bandwidth variable as explained in the upper section. The smoothness of the KDE function is tied to this setting.
Nº Bins -> The Nº Steps variable as explained in the upper section. It determines the precision of the KDE algorithm.
Liquidity Zones [BigBeluga]This indicator is designed to detect liquidity zones on the chart by identifying significant pivot highs and lows filtered by volume strength. It plots these zones as boxes, highlighting areas where liquidity is likely to accumulate. The indicator also draws lines extending from these boxes, marking the levels where price may "grab" this liquidity. The size of these boxes can be dynamic, adjusting based on the volume size, offering a visual representation of market areas where traders might expect significant price reactions.
🔵 IDEA
The idea behind the Liquidity Zones indicator is to help traders identify key market levels where liquidity accumulates. Liquidity zones are areas where there are enough buy or sell orders that can potentially lead to significant price movements. By focusing on pivot points filtered by volume strength, the indicator aims to provide a clearer picture of where large players may have positioned their orders. This insight allows traders to anticipate potential market reactions, such as reversals or breakouts, when the price reaches these zones. The option for dynamic box height further refines the visualization, showing the extent of liquidity based on the volume's intensity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
◉ Volume-Filtered Pivot Highs and Lows:
The indicator scans for pivot highs and lows on the chart, filtering these points based on the volume strength setting (Low, Mid, High). This ensures that only the most significant liquidity zones, backed by notable trading volume, are highlighted. Traders can adjust the filter to focus on different levels of market activity, from small fluctuations to major volume spikes.
Low:
Mid:
High:
◉ Dynamic and Static Liquidity Zones:
Liquidity zones are plotted as boxes around pivot points, with an optional dynamic mode that adjusts the box height based on the normalized volume. This dynamic adjustment reflects the liquidity carried by the volume, making it easier to gauge the significance of each zone. In static mode, the boxes have a fixed height, providing a consistent visual reference for the zones.
◉ Color Intensity Based on Volume:
The indicator adjusts the color intensity of the liquidity zones based on the volume strength. Higher volume zones will be displayed with more intense colors, giving a visual cue to the strength of the liquidity present in that area. This makes it easier to differentiate between zones of varying importance at a glance, allowing traders to quickly identify where the market has the highest concentration of liquidity.
◉ Liquidity Grab Detection and Red Circles:
When the price interacts with a liquidity zone, the indicator detects whether liquidity has been "grabbed" at these levels. If the price moves into a zone and crosses a level, the box label changes to "Liquidity Grabbed," and the line marking the level becomes dashed.
Reversal Points:
The beginning of a trend:
Additionally marks these "liquidity grabs" with red circles, indicating both recent and past liquidity grabs. This feature helps traders identify areas where liquidity has been absorbed by the market, which may signal potential reversals or shifts in market direction.
◉ Dashboard Display:
A dashboard in the upper right corner of the chart provides an overview of the indicator's settings and status. It shows the number of plotted zones, as set in the input settings, and whether the dynamic mode is active. This quick reference helps traders stay informed about the indicator's configuration without needing to open the settings panel.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Length & Zones Amount: Set the length for pivot detection and the maximum number of zones to be displayed on the chart. This allows you to control how many liquidity zones you want to monitor at any given time.
Volume Strength Filter: Adjust the filter to Low, Mid, or High to control the strength of volume required for a pivot to be considered a significant liquidity zone. Higher settings focus on zones with greater volume, indicating stronger liquidity.
Dynamic Distance Mode: Enable or disable the dynamic mode, which adjusts the box height based on the volume size. When dynamic mode is off, the boxes have a fixed height based on the ATR, offering a consistent visualization regardless of the volume size.
The Liquidity Zones indicator is a versatile tool for identifying areas of significant market activity, offering a clear view of where liquidity is likely to reside. By filtering these zones through volume strength and providing dynamic or static visualization options, it equips traders with insights into potential market reaction points, enhancing their ability to anticipate and respond to market movements. The varying color intensity based on volume further aids in quickly recognizing the most critical liquidity zones on the chart.

Essa's Indicator 2.0Essa's Indicator V2: Beginner's Guide
This custom TradingView indicator has been designed to help you identify key trading opportunities based on session highs/lows, volatility, and moving averages. Below is a breakdown of the main features:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
Fast EMA (Blue Line): Tracks the short-term market trend (default: 9-period EMA).
Slow EMA (Red Line): Tracks the longer-term market trend (default: 21-period EMA).
You can turn on/off the EMAs using the "Show EMAs" option in the settings.
EMAs help smooth out price action and give a clearer picture of trends. A crossover of the fast EMA above the slow EMA can signal an upward trend, while the reverse may indicate a downward trend.
2. Session Highs and Lows
The indicator tracks price highs and lows for three major trading sessions:
London Session (Red): Highlighted in red. Active between 08:00 and 17:00 (LDN timezone) or 03:00 and 12:00 (NY timezone).
New York Session (Blue): Highlighted in blue. Active between 12:00 and 21:00 (LDN timezone) or 07:00 and 16:00 (NY timezone).
Asia Session (Yellow): Highlighted in yellow. Active between 22:00 and 08:00 (LDN timezone) or 18:00 and 03:00 (NY timezone).
Highs and lows for each session are plotted on the chart as lines. Breakouts from these levels can signal important trading opportunities:
London High/Low: Red lines.
New York High/Low: Blue lines.
Asia High/Low: Yellow lines.
The background color also changes depending on the active session:
London: Light red background.
New York: Light blue background.
Asia: Light yellow background.
3. Breakout Alerts
You can set alerts when the price breaks above or below session highs/lows:
Break Above London High: Alert triggered when the price crosses the London session high.
Break Below London Low: Alert triggered when the price falls below the London session low.
Similar alerts exist for the New York and Asia sessions as well.
4. Volatility-Adjusted EMA
The EMAs in this indicator are adjusted based on volatility (ATR - Average True Range). This allows the EMAs to respond to market conditions more dynamically, giving you more accurate trend readings in volatile markets.
5. ZigZag Feature (Optional)
You can enable the ZigZag feature to help visualize the price action's highs and lows:
ZigZag Lines: Highlight major peaks and troughs in price movements, helping you spot trends more easily.
This is helpful for identifying reversals or trend continuations.
6. Fractal Markers
This indicator uses fractals to mark potential turning points in the market:
Green Triangles (Above the Price): Indicate up fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move upwards).
Red Triangles (Below the Price): Indicate down fractals (potential reversal points where the price could move downwards).
Fractals can be a helpful confirmation tool when identifying entry and exit points.
7. Custom Timezone Options
You can choose between London (LDN) and New York (NY) timezones in the settings to adapt the session times to your trading location. This ensures the session high/low markers are displayed correctly for your trading region.
By default, the New York (NY) timezone is enabled for FXCM charts in the UK.
For BTC charts, you will need to switch to the appropriate time zone manually.

This indicator is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading involves significant risk of loss. Users should conduct their own research and due diligence before making any investment decisions. The creator of this indicator is not responsible for any losses incurred from its use. Always test thoroughly on demo accounts before applying to live trading.
Wedge BreakoutThe Wedge Breakout indicator is designed to identify and signal potential breakouts from a wedge pattern, a common technical analysis formation. A wedge pattern typically forms when the price moves within converging trendlines, indicating a potential upcoming breakout either upwards (bullish) or downwards (bearish).
Identifying Pivot Points:
The indicator first calculates pivot points, which are significant highs and lows that define the wedge's upper and lower boundaries.
Pivot Lows: It identifies the lowest price points over a specified length (input_len), which serves as the lower boundary of the wedge.
Pivot Highs: Similarly, it identifies the highest price points over the same length, forming the upper boundary of the wedge.
Drawing Trendlines:
The pivot points are connected to form dashed trendlines that represent the upper and lower boundaries of the wedge.
The indicator uses the SimpleTrendlines library to manage and draw these trendlines dynamically:
Green Trendline: Indicates an upward slope (bullish).
Red Trendline: Indicates a downward slope (bearish).
Calculating the Breakout Conditions:
A breakout is confirmed when the price action fulfills two conditions:
The candle's high exceeds the upper trendline's highest point.
The candle's low drops below the lower trendline's lowest point.
This condition suggests that the price is squeezing within the wedge pattern and is about to break out.
Determining Breakout Direction:
The direction of the breakout is determined by the candle's closing position relative to its opening:
Bullish Breakout (Upward): When the candle closes above its opening price (close > open) after breaching both trendlines, it suggests a bullish breakout. This condition is marked with a green upward triangle .
Bearish Breakout (Downward): When the candle closes below its opening price (close < open) after breaching both trendlines, it suggests a bearish breakout. This condition is marked with a red downward triangle.
Visual Representation:
Green Triangle Up: Plotted below the bar to indicate a potential bullish breakout.
Red Triangle Down: Plotted above the bar to indicate a potential bearish breakout.

[DarkTrader] Pivot Point HeatmapThe indicator calculates pivot points using price data from different timeframes such as 12M, 1M, 1W, 3D, and 1D. For each timeframe, it retrieves the high, low, open, and close prices of the previous bar. The pivot point is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close prices, which provides a central level where market sentiment may shift. This calculation is repeated for each timeframe, ensuring a multi-dimensional view of potential interest zones.
Importance of Pivot Points :
Pivot points are essential tools in technical analysis, providing traders with levels that act as potential support and resistance zones. These zones help identify price levels where reversals or breakouts are more likely to occur.
Visual Representation :
The core feature of this indicator is its ability to visualize pivot points as a heatmap on the chart. Instead of showing just the latest pivot points, it tracks the historical pivot swipe, providing a dynamic view of how price interacts with these key levels. Each pivot point is represented by a line, color-coded based on its position relative to other points, creating a gradient effect that highlights the most critical price areas.
Customization Options :
Traders can customize various aspects of the heatmap to suit their preferences. The indicator offers options to toggle pivot swipe history, enabling traders to either focus on the most recent price interactions or consider how price has behaved over time. The background color and pivot line colors are fully customizable, making it easy to match the heatmap with your chart's theme or emphasize certain price levels.
Detecting Sweeps and Price Interaction :
Another important feature is the detection of price interactions with pivot levels. If the current bar's high and low cross a pivot point, it signals that the pivot level has been "swept" by price action, potentially indicating a change in market sentiment. The indicator either extends the line if the pivot point remains relevant or deletes it if price has broken through. This dynamic adjustment helps traders stay updated on which pivot levels are still valid.
Fractal Levels [BigBeluga]The Fractal Levels - BigBeluga indicator is a specialized tool that detects significant market highs and lows, ranking them by their normalized volume. This indicator is designed to help traders identify crucial price levels that are likely to influence market behavior, enabling better decision-making in trading. By gathering normalized volume around each fractal point, it creates a comprehensive view of the strength and relevance of price reversal points, which can be visualized as numbers or zones on the chart.
🔵KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● High and Low Detection with Volume Ranking:
The indicator detects market highs and lows using a user-defined length setting. For each detected fractal point (high or low), it collects normalized volume from a set number of bars before and after the fractal point (the number is based on the length input). This collection allows the indicator to produce an average of the normalized volume, which is then displayed as a number above or below the corresponding fractal arrows, visually indicating the importance of the high or low.
● Plotting Levels from Fractals:
From these high and low points, the indicator plots key levels. In settings, traders can choose between a wide or tight zone type.
If a price level coincides with multiple pivot points, the indicator highlights this as a significant zone. These zones represent areas where price tends to react, making them critical for identifying potential support and resistance levels.
● Fractal Boxes with Delta Volume Data:
Fractal boxes are shown as gray boxes, representing areas where price pivots occurred, and they also contain delta volume information. Delta volume is calculated by summing the positive and negative volumes within the length range, producing the total delta inside each fractal box. This is particularly useful for analyzing volume shifts around key levels.
● Broken Levels Highlighting:
When a plotted level is broken (price closes above or below it), the level can be removed from the chart automatically. However, in the settings, you can enable a feature to highlight broken levels as gray areas, providing insight into past price behavior. This is helpful for tracking historical support and resistance zones.
> Important note: If no volume data provided indicator wont work
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Fractal Length and Filter Settings:
Adjust the Length parameter to control the number of bars used to detect pivot highs and lows. A longer length will result in fewer fractals being identified, focusing on more significant price moves. The Filter option allows you to set a volume threshold, filtering out minor fractals that do not meet the minimum volume requirements.
Levels Detection (Wide or Tight):
Choose between Wide and Tight zones for fractal levels detection. A tight zone focuses on smaller price areas around pivot points, while a wide zone expands the detection range, highlighting larger zones of influence around fractals.
Delta Volume Display for Fractals:
Toggle Delta Volume Fractals to show or hide the delta volume information inside fractal boxes. When enabled, the indicator calculates and displays the total delta volume within the range of bars surrounding each fractal point.
Broken Levels Visibility:
Enable Broken Levels to highlight levels that have been crossed by price. When disabled, broken fractal levels will be removed from the chart after price crosses them.
🔵CONCLUSION
The Fractal Levels indicator provides traders with an advanced way to analyze price highs and lows by combining fractal detection with volume dynamics. By identifying key market levels through normalized volume ranking, delta volume analysis, and level plotting, this tool is invaluable for spotting potential support and resistance zones. Whether you're focusing on short-term trading or longer-term price movements, Fractal Levels offers the precision and flexibility needed to optimize your strategy.
Pure Price Action ICT Tools [LuxAlgo]The Pure Price Action ICT Tools indicator is designed for pure price action analysis, automatically identifying real-time market structures, liquidity levels, order & breaker blocks, and liquidity voids.
Its unique feature lies in its exclusive reliance on price patterns, without being constrained by any user-defined inputs, ensuring a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics.
🔶 MARKET STRUCTURES
A Market Structure Shift, also known as a Change of Character (CHoCH), is a pivotal event in price action analysis indicating a potential change in market sentiment or direction. An MSS occurs when the price reverses from an established trend, signaling that the prevailing trend may be losing momentum and a reversal might be underway. This shift is often identified by key technical patterns, such as a higher low in a downtrend or a lower high in an uptrend, which indicate a weakening of the current trend's strength.
A Break of Structure typically indicates the continuation of the current market trend. This event occurs when the price decisively moves beyond a previous swing high or low, confirming the strength of the prevailing trend. In an uptrend, a BOS is marked by the price breaking above a previous high, while in a downtrend, it is identified by the price breaking below a previous low.
While a Market Structure Shift (MSS) can indicate a potential trend reversal and a Break of Structure (BOS) often confirms trend continuation, they do not assure a complete reversal or continuation. MSS and BOS levels can also function as liquidity zones or areas of price consolidation rather than definitively signaling a change in market direction. Traders should approach these signals cautiously and validate them with additional factors before making trading decisions. For further details on other components of the tool, please refer to the following sections.
🔶 ORDER & BREAKER BLOCKS
Order and Breaker Blocks are key concepts in price action analysis that help traders identify significant levels in the market structure.
Order Blocks are specific price zones where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These zones often represent the actions of large institutional traders or market makers, who execute substantial orders that impact the market.
Breaker Blocks are specific price zones where a strong reversal occurs, causing a break in the prevailing market structure. These blocks indicate areas where the price encountered significant resistance or support, leading to a reversal.
In summary, Order and Breaker Blocks are essential tools in price action analysis, providing insights into significant market levels influenced by institutional trading activities. These blocks help traders make informed decisions about potential support and resistance levels, trend reversals, and breakout confirmations.
🔶 BUYSIDE & SELLSIDE LIQUIDITY
Both buy-side and sell-side liquidity zones are critical for identifying potential turning points in the market. These zones are where significant buying or selling interest is concentrated, influencing future price movements.
In summary, buy-side and sell-side liquidity provide crucial insights into market demand and supply dynamics, helping traders make informed decisions based on the availability of orders at different price levels.
🔶 LIQUIDITY VOIDS
Liquidity voids are gaps or areas on a price chart where there is a lack of trading activity. These voids represent zones with minimal to no buy or sell orders, often resulting in sharp price movements when the market enters these areas.
In summary, liquidity voids are crucial areas on a price chart characterized by a lack of trading activity. These voids can lead to rapid price movements and increased volatility, making them essential considerations for traders in their analysis and decision-making processes.
🔶 SWING POINTS
Reversal price points are commonly referred to as swing points. Traders often analyze historical swing points to discern market trends and pinpoint potential trade entry and exit points.
Do note that in this script these are subject to backpainting, that is they are not located where they are detected.
The detection of swing points and the unique feature of this script rely exclusively on price action, eliminating the need for numerical user-defined settings. The process begins with detecting short-term swing points:
Short-Term Swing High (STH): Identified as a price peak surrounded by lower highs on both sides.
Short-Term Swing Low (STL): Recognized as a price trough surrounded by higher lows on both sides.
Intermediate-term and long-term swing points are detected using the same approach but with a slight modification. Instead of directly analyzing price candles, previously detected short-term swing points are utilized. For intermediate-term swing points, short-term swing points are analyzed, while for long-term swing points, intermediate-term ones are used.
This method ensures a robust and objective analysis of market dynamics, offering traders reliable insights into market structures. Detected swing points serve as the foundation for identifying market structures, buy-side/sell-side liquidity levels, and order and breaker blocks presented with this tool.
In summary, swing points are essential elements in technical analysis, helping traders identify trends, support, and resistance levels, and optimal entry and exit points. Understanding swing points allows traders to make informed decisions based on the natural price movements in the market.

First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset### Indicator Overview: First 5-Minute ORB Levels with Hour Offset
This indicator is designed for traders who want to track the high and low of the first 5-minute candle of a trading session, specifically starting at 9:30 am EST (New York time) by default. The lines representing these levels, known as the "Opening Range Breakout" (ORB) levels, are extended across the trading session until the market close at 4:00 pm EST. The indicator provides the following features:
1. **Real-Time Updates**:
- As the first 5-minute candle of the session forms (from 9:30 am to 9:35 am EST), the indicator dynamically updates the high and low lines.
- After the candle completes, the lines are locked in place and extend horizontally across the chart until market close.
2. **Customizable Hour Offset**:
- Users can adjust the start time of the session by specifying an hour offset. This feature is particularly useful for traders operating in different time zones or those who want to analyze custom session times.
- For example, if you trade in a time zone where the session starts at 8:30 am local time instead of 9:30 am EST, you can set the hour offset to `-1` to adjust the start time accordingly.
3. **Visual Labels**:
- The indicator places labels at the end of the lines, clearly marking the "5m ORB High" and "5m ORB Low" levels. These labels are updated in real-time as the first 5-minute candle forms and are fixed in place once the candle closes.
### How to Adjust the Settings:
1. **Hour Offset**:
- **Description**: The hour offset allows you to shift the start time of the session. The default start time is 9:30 am EST, but you can change this using the hour offset.
- **How to Adjust**:
- Open the indicator settings.
- Locate the "Hour Offset" field.
- Enter a positive or negative integer value to shift the session start time.
- **Example**:
- `0` (default): Start at 9:30 am EST.
- `-1`: Start at 8:30 am EST.
- `+1`: Start at 10:30 am EST.
- The indicator will then track the first 5-minute candle starting at the adjusted time and plot the high and low accordingly.
2. **Line and Label Appearance**:
- The lines representing the ORB levels are green by default, and the labels are also green with white text for clear visibility on the chart. The labels are positioned to the right of the lines to avoid cluttering the chart.
### Use Cases:
- **Opening Range Breakout Strategy**: Traders often use the ORB strategy to identify potential breakout points during the trading day. By marking the high and low of the first 5-minute candle, this indicator helps traders quickly identify key levels where price might break out or reverse.
- **Custom Session Analysis**: If you trade in a different time zone or need to analyze a different session (e.g., pre-market or after-hours), the hour offset feature allows you to adapt the indicator to your needs.
This indicator is particularly valuable for intraday traders who rely on the initial volatility of the trading session to make informed decisions.
