📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Turtle Soup strategy may have different implementations depending on the selected method of the trader. This indicator's implementation is described as :
1. Mark higher timerame liquidity zones.
Liquidity zones are where a lot of market orders sit in the chart. They are usually formed from the long / short position holders' "liquidity" levels. There are various ways to find them, most common one being drawing them on the latest high & low pivot points in the chart, which this indicator does.
2. Mark current timeframe market structure.
The market structure is the current flow of the market. It tells you if the market is trending right now, and the way it's trending towards. It's formed from swing higs, swing lows and support / resistance levels.
3. Wait for market to make a liquidity grab on the higher timeframe liquidity zone.
A liquidity grab is when the marked liquidity zones have a false breakout, which means that it gets broken for a brief amount of time, but then price falls back to it's previous position.
4. Buyside liquidity grabs are "Short" entries and Sellside liquidity grabs are "Long" entries by default.
5. Wait for the market-structure shift in the current timeframe for entry confirmation.
A market-structure shift happens when the current market structure changes, usually when a new swing high / swing low is formed. This indicator uses it as a confirmation for position entry as it gives an insight of the new trend of the market.
6. Place Take-Profit and Stop-Loss levels according to the risk ratio.
This indicator uses "Average True Range" when placing the stop-loss & take-profit levels. Average True Range calculates the average size of a candle and the indicator places the stop-loss level using ATR times the risk setting determined by the user, then places the take-profit level trying to keep a minimum of 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Turtle Soup concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Higher Timeframe -> The higher timeframe to look for liquidity grabs. This timeframe setting must be higher than the current chart's timeframe for the indicator to work.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
Entry Method ->
"Classic" : Works as described on the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
"Adaptive" : When "Adaptive" is selected, the entry conditions may chance depending on the current performance of the indicator. It saves the entry conditions and the performance of the past entries, then for the new entries it checks if it predicted the liquidity grabs correctly with the current setup, if so, continues with the same logic. If not, it changes behaviour to reverse the entries from long / short to short / long.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

ICT Silver Bullet | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Silver Bullet" strategy. The strategy has 5 steps for execution and works best in 1-5 min timeframes. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Silver Bullet Strategy
Customizable Execution Settings
2 NY Sessions & London Session
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
ICT's Silver Bullet strategy has 5 steps :
1. Mark your market sessions open (This indicator has 3 -> NY 10-11, NY 14-15, LDN 03-04)
2. Mark the swing liquidity points
3. Wait for market to take down one liquidity side
4. Look for a market structure-shift for reversals
5. Wait for a FVG for execution
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart. You can switch execution types between FVG and MSS.
🚩UNIQUENESS

⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Execution Type -> FVG execution type will require a FVG to take an entry, while the MSS setting will take an entry as soon as it detects a market structure-shift.
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
FVG Detection -> "Same Type" means that all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). "All" means that bar types may vary between bullish / bearish.
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You can turn this setting on and off. If it's off, any 3 consecutive bullish / bearish bars will be calculated as FVGs. If it's on, the size of FVGs will be filtered by the selected sensitivity. Lower settings mean less but larger FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails.
Close Position @ Session End -> If this setting is enabled, the current position (if any) will be closed at the beginning of a new session, regardless if it hit the TP / SL zone. If it's off, the position will be open until it hits a TP / SL zone.
Custom XABCD Validation and Backtesting ToolOverview:
We hear a lot about Gartleys, bats, crabs and the rest of the barnyard crew, but have you ever wondered what other creatures might be lurking out there yet to be discovered? Well wonder no longer, it's time to find out for yourself! The Custom XABCD Validation and Backtesting Tool allows you to define retracement ratios and targets for your very own patterns.
Tips:
(1) Adjust the patterns entry/stop/target configuration and see how it affects the pattern's backtesting results.
(2) Adjust the weights of pattern score components (% error, PRZ confluence, Point D/PRZ confluence), along with the entry minimum score requirements ('If score is above'), and see how it affects the patterns' results.
Pattern Scoring:
The pattern's score is an attempt to represent the quality of a pattern with a single metric. This is one of the most powerful aspects of the tool because it can quickly tell you whether a trade is worth entering. The score is based on 3 components:
(1) Retracement % Accuracy - this measures how closely a pattern's retracement ratios match your defined theoretical values. You can change the "Allowed ratio error %" in Settings to be more or less inclusive.
(2) PRZ Level Confluence - Potential Reversal Zone levels are retracements of the XA, BC, and/or XC legs. These levels indicate where a potential reversal might occur (i.e. pivot point D). The PRZ Level Confluence component measures the closeness of the two closest PRZ levels, relative to the height of the of the XA leg.
(3) Point D / PRZ Confluence - this measures the closeness of point D to either of the two closest PRZ levels (identified in the PRZ Level Confluence component above), relative to the height of the XA leg. In theory, the closer together these levels are, the higher the probability of a reversal.
While the score is percentage-based, it should not be confused with a probability. A score of 96% does not imply a 96% chance of success. It simply represents the average of the three components mentioned above, weighted according to the defined weight parameters. A score of 100% would mean that (1) all leg retracements match the defined theoretical retracement ratios exactly, (2) all PRZ retracement levels are exactly the same value, and (3) pivot point D occurred exactly at the confluent PRZ level.
Pattern scoring research has been ongoing since I introduced the concept with my Harmonic Pattern Detection, Prediction and Backtesting Tool (see below). So the way that the score is calculated is subject to change based on the results of that research.
Harmonic Pattern Detection, Prediction, and Backtesting ToolOverview:
The ultimate harmonic XABCD pattern identification, prediction, and backtesting system.
Harmonic patterns are among the most accurate of trading signals, yet they're widely underutilized because they can be difficult to spot and tedious to validate. If you've ever come across a pattern and struggled with questions like "are these retracement ratios close enough to the harmonic ratios?" or "what are the Potential Reversal levels and are they confluent with point D?", then this tool is your new best friend. Or, if you've never traded harmonic patterns before, maybe it's time to start. Put away your drawing tools and calculators, relax, and let this indicator do the heavy lifting for you.
- Identification -
An exhaustive search across multiple pivot lengths ensures that even the sneakiest harmonic patterns are identified. Each pattern is evaluated and assigned a score, making it easy to differentiate weak patterns from strong ones. Tooltips under the pattern labels show a detailed breakdown of the pattern's score and retracement ratios (see the Scoring section below for details).
- Prediction -
After a pattern is identified, paths to potential targets are drawn, and Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) levels are plotted based on the retracement ratios of the harmonic pattern. Targets are customizable by pattern type (e.g. you can specify one set of targets for a Gartley and another for a Bat, etc).
- Backtesting -
A table shows the results of all the patterns found in the chart. Change your target, stop-loss, and % error inputs and observe how it affects your success rate.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Scoring
//------------------------------------------------------
A percentage-based score is calculated from four components:
(1) Retracement % Accuracy - this measures how closely the pattern's retracement ratios match the theoretical values (fibs) defined for a given harmonic pattern. You can change the "Allowed fib ratio error %" in Settings to be more or less inclusive.
(2) PRZ Level Confluence - Potential Reversal Zone levels are projected from retracements of the XA and BC legs. The PRZ Level Confluence component measures the closeness of the closest XA and BC retracement levels, relative to the total height of the PRZ.
(3) Point D / PRZ Confluence - this measures the closeness of point D to either of the closest two PRZ levels (identified in the PRZ Level Confluence component above), relative to the total height of the PRZ. In theory, the closer together these levels are, the higher the probability of a reversal.
(4) Leg Length Symmetry - this measures the ΔX symmetry of each leg. You can change the "Allowed leg length asymmetry %" in settings to be more or less inclusive.
So, a score of 100% would mean that (1) all leg retracements match the theoretical fib ratios exactly (to 16 decimal places), (2) the closest XA and BC PRZ levels are exactly the same, (3) point D is exactly at the confluent PRZ level, and (4) all legs are exactly the same number of bars. While this is theoretically possible, you have better odds of getting struck by lightning twice on a sunny day.
Calculation weights of all four components can be changed in Settings.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Targets
//------------------------------------------------------
A hard-coded set of targets are available to choose from, and can be applied to each pattern type individually:
(1) .618 XA = .618 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(2) 1.272 XA = 1.272 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(3) 1.618 XA = 1.618 retracement of leg XA, measured from point D
(4) .618 CD = .618 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(5) 1.272 CD = 1.272 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(6) 1.618 CD = 1.618 retracement of leg CD, measured from point D
(7) A = point A
(8) B = point B
(9) C = point C
//------------------------------------------------------
// Stops
//------------------------------------------------------
Stop-loss levels are also user-defined, in one of three ways:
(1) % beyond the furthest PRZ level (below the PRZ level for bullish patterns, and above for bearish)
(2) % beyond point D
(3) % of distance to Target 1, beyond point D. This method allows for a proper Risk:Reward approach by defining your potential losses as a percentage of the potential gains. This is the default.
//------------------------------------------------------
// Results Table / Backtesting Statistics
//------------------------------------------------------
To properly assess the effectiveness of a specific pattern type, a time limit is enforced for a completed pattern to reach the targets or the stop level. When this time limit expires, the pattern has "timed out", and is no longer considered in the Success Rate statistics. During the time limit period, if price reaches Target 1 before reaching the Stop level, the pattern is considered successful. Conversely, if price reaches the Stop level before reaching Target 1, the pattern is considered a failure. The time limit can be changed in Settings, and is defined in terms of the total pattern length (point X to point D). It is set to 1.5 by default.
Increasing the time limit value will give you more realistic Success Rate values, but will less accurately represent the success rate of the harmonic patterns (i.e. the more time that elapses after a pattern completes, the less likely it is that the price action is related to that pattern).
//------------------------------------------------------
// Coming soon...
//------------------------------------------------------
I have a handful of other features in development, including:
(1) Drawing incomplete patterns as they develop. This will allow you more time to plan entries and stops, or potentially trade reversals from point C to point D PRZ levels.
(2) Support for the Shark and Cypher patterns
(3) Alerts
Please report any bugs, runtime errors, other issues or enhancement suggestions.
I also welcome any feedback from experienced harmonic pattern traders, especially regarding your strategy for setting targets and stop-losses.

PnL Bubble [%] | Fractalyst1. What's the indicator purpose?
The PnL Bubble indicator transforms your strategy's trade PnL percentages into an interactive bubble chart with professional-grade statistics and performance analytics. It helps traders quickly assess system profitability, understand win/loss distribution patterns, identify outliers, and make data-driven strategy improvements.
How does it work?
Think of this indicator as a visual report card for your trading performance. Here's what it does:
What You See
Colorful Bubbles: Each bubble represents one of your trades
Blue/Cyan bubbles = Winning trades (you made money)
Red bubbles = Losing trades (you lost money)
Bigger bubbles = Bigger wins or losses
Smaller bubbles = Smaller wins or losses
How It Organizes Your Trades:
Like a Photo Album: Instead of showing all your trades at once (which would be messy), it shows them in "pages" of 500 trades each:
Page 1: Your first 500 trades
Page 2: Trades 501-1000
Page 3: Trades 1001-1500, etc.
What the Numbers Tell You:
Average Win: How much money you typically make on winning trades
Average Loss: How much money you typically lose on losing trades
Expected Value (EV): Whether your trading system makes money over time
Positive EV = Your system is profitable long-term
Negative EV = Your system loses money long-term
Payoff Ratio (R): How your average win compares to your average loss
R > 1 = Your wins are bigger than your losses
R < 1 = Your losses are bigger than your wins
Why This Matters:
At a Glance: You can instantly see if you're a profitable trader or not
Pattern Recognition: Spot if you have more big wins than big losses
Performance Tracking: Watch how your trading improves over time
Realistic Expectations: Understand what "average" performance looks like for your system
The Cool Visual Effects:
Animation: The bubbles glow and shimmer to make the chart more engaging
Highlighting: Your biggest wins and losses get extra attention with special effects
Tooltips: hover any bubble to see details about that specific trade.
What are the underlying calculations?
The indicator processes trade PnL data using a dual-matrix architecture for optimal performance:
Dual-Matrix System:
• Display Matrix (display_matrix): Bounded to 500 trades for rendering performance
• Statistics Matrix (stats_matrix): Unbounded storage for complete statistical accuracy
Trade Classification & Aggregation:
// Separate wins, losses, and break-even trades
if val > 0.0
pos_sum += val // Sum winning trades
pos_count += 1 // Count winning trades
else if val < 0.0
neg_sum += val // Sum losing trades
neg_count += 1 // Count losing trades
else
zero_count += 1 // Count break-even trades
Statistical Averages:
avg_win = pos_count > 0 ? pos_sum / pos_count : na
avg_loss = neg_count > 0 ? math.abs(neg_sum) / neg_count : na
Win/Loss Rates:
total_obs = pos_count + neg_count + zero_count
win_rate = pos_count / total_obs
loss_rate = neg_count / total_obs
Expected Value (EV):
ev_value = (avg_win × win_rate) - (avg_loss × loss_rate)
Payoff Ratio (R):
R = avg_win ÷ |avg_loss|
Contribution Analysis:
ev_pos_contrib = avg_win × win_rate // Positive EV contribution
ev_neg_contrib = avg_loss × loss_rate // Negative EV contribution
How to integrate with any trading strategy?
Equity Change Tracking Method:
//@version=6
strategy("Your Strategy with Equity Change Export", overlay=true)
float prev_trade_equity = na
float equity_change_pct = na
if barstate.isconfirmed and na(prev_trade_equity)
prev_trade_equity := strategy.equity
trade_just_closed = strategy.closedtrades != strategy.closedtrades
if trade_just_closed and not na(prev_trade_equity)
current_equity = strategy.equity
equity_change_pct := ((current_equity - prev_trade_equity) / prev_trade_equity) * 100
prev_trade_equity := current_equity
else
equity_change_pct := na
plot(equity_change_pct, "Equity Change %", display=display.data_window)
Integration Steps:
1. Add equity tracking code to your strategy
2. Load both strategy and PnL Bubble indicator on the same chart
3. In bubble indicator settings, select your strategy's equity tracking output as data source
4. Configure visualization preferences (colors, effects, page navigation)
How does the pagination system work?
The indicator uses an intelligent pagination system to handle large trade datasets efficiently:
Page Organization:
• Page 1: Trades 1-500 (most recent)
• Page 2: Trades 501-1000
• Page 3: Trades 1001-1500
• Page N: Trades to
Example: With 1,500 trades total (3 pages available):
• User selects Page 1: Shows trades 1-500
• User selects Page 4: Automatically falls back to Page 3 (trades 1001-1500)
5. Understanding the Visual Elements
Bubble Visualization:
• Color Coding: Cyan/blue gradients for wins, red gradients for losses
• Size Mapping: Bubble size proportional to trade magnitude (larger = bigger P&L)
• Priority Rendering: Largest trades displayed first to ensure visibility
• Gradient Effects: Color intensity increases with trade magnitude within each category
Interactive Tooltips:
Each bubble displays quantitative trade information:
tooltip_text = outcome + " | PnL: " + pnl_str +
"\nDate: " + date_str + " " + time_str +
"\nTrade #" + str.tostring(trade_number) + " (Page " + str.tostring(active_page) + ")" +
"\nRank: " + str.tostring(rank) + " of " + str.tostring(n_display_rows) +
"\nPercentile: " + str.tostring(percentile, "#.#") + "%" +
"\nMagnitude: " + str.tostring(magnitude_pct, "#.#") + "%"
Example Tooltip:
Win | PnL: +2.45%
Date: 2024.03.15 14:30
Trade #1,247 (Page 3)
Rank: 5 of 347
Percentile: 98.6%
Magnitude: 85.2%
Reference Lines & Statistics:
• Average Win Line: Horizontal reference showing typical winning trade size
• Average Loss Line: Horizontal reference showing typical losing trade size
• Zero Line: Threshold separating wins from losses
• Statistical Labels: EV, R-Ratio, and contribution analysis displayed on chart
What do the statistical metrics mean?
Expected Value (EV):
Represents the mathematical expectation per trade in percentage terms
EV = (Average Win × Win Rate) - (Average Loss × Loss Rate)
Interpretation:
• EV > 0: Profitable system with positive mathematical expectation
• EV = 0: Break-even system, profitability depends on execution
• EV < 0: Unprofitable system with negative mathematical expectation
Example: EV = +0.34% means you expect +0.34% profit per trade on average
Payoff Ratio (R):
Quantifies the risk-reward relationship of your trading system
R = Average Win ÷ |Average Loss|
Interpretation:
• R > 1.0: Wins are larger than losses on average (favorable risk-reward)
• R = 1.0: Wins and losses are equal in magnitude
• R < 1.0: Losses are larger than wins on average (unfavorable risk-reward)
Example: R = 1.5 means your average win is 50% larger than your average loss
Contribution Analysis (Σ):
Breaks down the components of expected value
Positive Contribution (Σ+) = Average Win × Win Rate
Negative Contribution (Σ-) = Average Loss × Loss Rate
Purpose:
• Shows how much wins contribute to overall expectancy
• Shows how much losses detract from overall expectancy
• Net EV = Σ+ - Σ- (Expected Value per trade)
Example: Σ+: 1.23% means wins contribute +1.23% to expectancy
Example: Σ-: -0.89% means losses drag expectancy by -0.89%
Win/Loss Rates:
Win Rate = Count(Wins) ÷ Total Trades
Loss Rate = Count(Losses) ÷ Total Trades
Shows the probability of winning vs losing trades
Higher win rates don't guarantee profitability if average losses exceed average wins
7. Demo Mode & Synthetic Data Generation
When using built-in sources (close, open, etc.), the indicator generates realistic demo trades for testing:
if isBuiltInSource(source_data)
// Generate random trade outcomes with realistic distribution
u_sign = prand(float(time), float(bar_index))
if u_sign < 0.5
v_push := -1.0 // Loss trade
else
// Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins (realistic)
u_mag = prand(float(time) + 9876.543, float(bar_index) + 321.0)
k = 8.0 // Skewness factor
t = math.pow(u_mag, k)
v_push := 2.5 + t * 8.0 // Win trade
Demo Characteristics:
• Realistic win/loss distribution mimicking actual trading patterns
• Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins over large wins
• Deterministic randomness for consistent demo results
• Includes jitter effects to prevent visual overlap

• Sample Bias: Historical data may not represent future market conditions or regime changes
• Ergodicity Assumption: Markets are non-stationary; past statistical relationships may break down
• Survivorship Bias: Strategies showing positive historical EV may fail during different market cycles
• Parameter Instability: Optimal parameters identified in backtesting often degrade in forward testing
• Transaction Cost Evolution: Slippage, spreads, and commission structures change over time
• Behavioral Factors: Live trading introduces psychological elements absent in backtesting
• Black Swan Events: Extreme market events can invalidate statistical assumptions instantaneously

Market Structure Based Stop LossMarket Structure Based Dynamic Stop Loss
Introduction
The Market Structure Based Stop Loss indicator is a strategic tool for traders designed to be useful in both rigorous backtesting and live testing, by providing an objective, “guess-free” stop loss level. This indicator dynamically plots suggested stop loss levels based on market structure, and the concepts of “interim lows/highs.”
It provides a robust framework for managing risk in both long and short positions. By leveraging historical price movements and real time market dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify quantitatively consistent risk levels while optimizing trade returns.

This indicator utilizes various inputs to customize its functionality, including "Stop Loss Sensitivity" and "Wick Depth," which dictate how closely the stop loss levels hug the price's highs and lows. The stop loss levels are plotted as lines on the trading chart, providing clear visual cues for position management. As seen in the chart below, this indicator dynamically plots stop loss levels for both long and short positions at every point in time.
A “Stop Loss Table” is also included, in order to enhance precision trading and increase backtesting accuracy. It is customizable in both size and positioning.
Case Study
Methodology
The methodology behind this indicator focuses on the precision placement of stop losses using market structure as a guide. It calculates stop losses by identifying the "lowest close" and the corresponding "lowest low" for long setups, and inversely for short setups. By adjusting the sensitivity settings, traders can tweak the indicator's responsiveness to price changes, ensuring that the stop losses are set with a balance between tight risk control and enough room to avoid premature exits due to market noise. The indicator's ability to adapt to different trading styles and time frames makes it an essential tool for traders aiming for efficiency and effectiveness in their risk management strategies.
An important point to make is the fact that the stop loss levels are always placed within the wicks. This is important to avoid what can be described as a “floating stop loss”. A stop loss placed outside of a wick is susceptible to an outsized degree of slippage. This is because traders always cluster their stop losses at high/low wicks, and a stop loss placed outside of this level will inevitably be caught in a low liquidity cascade or “wash-out.” When price approaches a cluster of stop losses, it is highly probable that you will be stopped out anyway, so it is prudent to attempt to be the trader who gets stopped out first in order to avoid high slippage, and losses above what you originally intended.
// For long positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the lowest wick
float dynamic_SL_Long = lowestClose - (lowestClose - lowestLow) * (1 - WickDepth)
// For short positions: stop-loss is slightly inside the highest wick
float dynamic_SL_Short = highestClose + (highestHigh - highestClose) * (1 - WickDepth)
The percentage depth of the wick in which the stop loss is placed is customisable with the “Wick Depth” variable, in order to customize stop loss strategies around the liquidity of the market a trader is executing their orders in.
Price Drop CounterThe Price Drop Counter is a very basic statistical indicator.
See it as an analytical tool that tracks how many times an asset's price has dropped by a specified percentage from its recent peak within a defined date range.
The indicator monitors the highest price reached and counts each occurrence when the price falls by your chosen threshold, then resets its peak tracking point after each drop is registered.
Uses
Volatility Assessment: Measure how frequently significant price corrections occur during specific periods
Market Behavior Analysis: Compare drop frequency across different timeframes or market conditions
Risk Evaluation: Identify assets or periods with higher downside volatility
Historical Pattern Recognition: Study how often major pullbacks happened during bull or bear markets
Backtesting Support: Analyze how your strategy would perform based on the frequency of drawdowns
How to use it
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
Configure the Percent Drop (%) to define your threshold (default: 10%). The indicator will count each time price falls by this percentage from the most recent high
IMPORTANT Set your Start Date and End Date to analyze a specific period of interest
The blue step-line plot shows the cumulative count of drops within your date range
Adjust the percentage threshold based on your analysis needs - use smaller values (2-5%) for more frequent signals or larger values (15-20%) for major corrections only
The counter resets its high-water mark after each qualifying drop, allowing it to track multiple sequential drops within the same period.
Sunmool's NY Lunch Model BacktestingICT NY Lunch Model Backtesting (12:00–13:00 NY) 🗽🍔
This research indicator tests an ICT narrative using the New York lunch window (12:00–13:00 America/New_York). It records that hour’s high/low and measures, during the post-lunch session (default 13:00–16:00), how often:
⬆️ If the afternoon trends up, the Lunch Low gets swept first.
⬇️ If the afternoon trends down, the Lunch High gets swept first.
It reports these as conditional probabilities, not trade signals. 📈
👀 What it shows
🟦 Lunch Range box (toggle): high/low from 12:00–13:00 NY
🔻🔺 Sweep signals (bar-anchored)
Low sweep: triangle below bar + optional “L”
High sweep: triangle above bar + optional “H”
🧱 Optional small box wrapping the swept candle
📊 Stats table (top-right)
P(L-swept | Up) — % of Up-days where Lunch Low was swept
P(H-swept | Down) — % of Down-days where Lunch High was swept
🔁 Contradictions + sample sizes (Up-days / Down-days)
🎯 Direction logic (Up/Down)
Anchor: 13:00 open (pmOpen) ⏰
Threshold: ATR × multiple or % from 13:00
Close ≥ pmOpen + threshold → Up-day
Close ≤ pmOpen − threshold → Down-day
Tiny moves under the threshold are ignored to reduce noise 🧹
⚙️ Inputs
🌐 Timezone: America/New_York (DST handled)
🍽️ Lunch window: 1200–1300
🕓 Post-lunch window: default 1300–1600 (try 17:00/20:00 for sensitivity)
📐 Trend threshold: ATR / Percent (with length/multiple or % level)
📅 Weekdays-only toggle (FX/Equities style)
👁️ Display toggles: Lunch box / sweep arrows / sweep text / sweep candle box / stats table
🔔 TF hint when chart TF > 15m
🧭 How to use
Use 5–15m charts for accurate lunch range capture.
Scroll ~1 year for meaningful samples.
Run sensitivity checks: vary ATR/% thresholds and the post-lunch end time.
For crypto, compare with vs without weekends. 🚀
🧠 Reading the results
High P(L-swept | Up) with a solid Up-day count ⇒ on up afternoons, lunch low is often swept.
High P(H-swept | Down) ⇒ on down afternoons, lunch high is often swept.
Lower Contradictions = cleaner tendency.
Remember: this is a probabilistic tendency, not a rule. 🎲
📝 Notes & limits
All markers (arrows, text, sweep boxes) are bar-anchored; the lunch range box is a research overlay you can toggle.

Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator, an advanced tool designed to enhance trading strategies by identifying potential trend reversals through volume dynamics. This script features integrated order block detection, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and a dynamic take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) system. For an in-depth understanding of the strategy, refer to the "HOW DOES IT WORK?" section below.
Features of the new Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator :
Cumulative Volume Delta-based Strategy
Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) Entry Methods
Dynamic TP/SL System
Customizable Risk Management Settings
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP, and SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The CVDS indicator operates by tracking the net volume difference between buyers and sellers to identify divergences that could indicate potential trend reversals. A cumulative volume delta (CVD) calculation is employed to measure the intensity of these divergences in relation to price movements. The net volume sum is reset every trading day (can be changed from the settings using the anchor period option), and divergences are detected when the cumulative volume crosses the 0-line over or under.
Once a significant divergence is detected, the indicator identifies breakout points, confirmed by either Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). Depending on your chosen entry mode, the indicator will trigger a buy or sell entry when the confirmation signal aligns with the breakout direction. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Profit, and Stop-Loss are available.
Note that the indicator cannot run on 1-minute and 1-second charts, as it needs to get data from a lower timeframe. 1-minutes & 1-second timeframes are the minimum timeframes in their ranges respectively.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What sets this indicator apart is the combination of volume divergence analysis with advanced price action tools like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). The ability to choose between these methods, along with a dynamic TP/SL system that adapts based on volatility, provides flexibility for traders in any market condition. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current ticker. The CVD-based strategy ensures that trades are initiated only when meaningful divergences between volume and price occur, filtering out noise and increasing the likelihood of profitable trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Anchor Period: Time anchor period used in CVD calculation. This is essentially the period that the volume delta sum will be reset. Lower timeframes may result in more entries at the cost of less reliable results.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs or OBs to trigger your entries based on the confirmation signals.
Retracement Requirement: Enable to confirm the entry after a retracement toward the FVG or OB.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity of FVG detection, allowing for more or fewer gaps to be considered valid.
3. Order Blocks (OB)
Swing Length: Define the swing length to identify OB formations. Shorter lengths find smaller OBs, while longer lengths detect larger structures.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.
Unbiased Replay CompanionWhen using bar replay mode on TradingView, you have to scroll your way back through clearly visible price history, which always leaves you with unwanted lookahead bias because you unfortunately see all future price movements before they are hidden by the use of the scissors tool.
This indicator provides a simple way to hide all the price action and displays a configurable bar counter instead, allowing you to scroll back to every moment in history without seeing any of the prices' movements. The bar counter hereby serves as a visual aid to guide you back to the very first available bar on the chart.
You can configure the color of the overlay to match your charts' background as well as the style of the bar counter and the distance at which the counter is being displayed.
The indicator crops the vertical price scale by a random amount (only when it is being displayed) to also prevent you from having any unwanted bias based on the current price range.
Whenever you're done scrolling and have used the replay scissors tool to start your session just hide the indicator and bring it up again when you need to scroll. That's all there is to it.
Important: After you apply the indicator to your charts, make sure it is displayed in front of everything else. You can configure this by clicking on the three dots that are displayed on the right side of the indicator name on hover and choose "Visual order > Bring to front" from the popup menu that appears.
Enjoy your unbiased backtesting sessions!

Deviation Back Tester (Great for Credit Spreads)!Error with math fixed in this one. Please use this one.
This is great for credit spreads! Lets say you wanted to know if you had sold a 15% OTM Bull Put vertical 2 months out, how often would you win? This Turns green if you would have been correct with your credit spread had it expired on that date, or red if you would've been wrong. Great for Back testing!
This could also be used for ATM debit spreads credit spreads etc. Example, how often does SPY deviate outside a 10% range relative to two months, 5% (if your doing straddles perhaps) etc.
This Can be used with any stock.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT TESTS DEVIATION IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THEREFORE IT WILL HIGHLIGHT RED ON BOTH THE UPSIDE AND DOWNSIDE. WHEN BACKTESTING BE SURE TO CHECK WHETHER IT IS RED BECAUSE OF DOWNSIDE OR UPSIDE.

Demand & Supply Zones [eyes20xx]Demand & Supply Zones
This indicator helps to identify large moves driven by institutions.
What qualifies as a zone?
If the price moves (open to close) by more than a certain % in one candle or in a bullish / bearish run of candles, the zone is marked as a Demand or Supply zone .
0.8% is good for Crypto and Forex might be better with 0.4%. Play around with the % to match your requirements.
Active zones
A zone remains active until it is hit by the price. When it becomes inactive, the zone background becomes transparent.
Zone lines
Lines are displayed if the zone is active and within a certain % of the close. 3% is a good setting for Crypto.
A maximum of two lines are displayed for each zone type.
Simple Candle Info This script shows the following simple information about the last candle:
- Candle size
- Body size included %
- Top Wick size
- Bottom Wick size
- Top Wick + Body size
- Bottom Wick + Body size
You can change:
- colors and position for labels
- add information for previous candle too
- change language
Percentage Change FunctionThis is little code snippet can be copied and pasted into your own strategies and indicators to easily calculate some interesting percentage change levels within a given lookback period.
The function will return:
The price change from the start to the end of the period
The price change from the start of the period to the highest point within the period
The price change from the start of the period to the lowest point within the period
It was originally intended to be used in conjunction with other scripts to assist with decision making. However, it doesn't look too bad as an indicator and so plots have been added.
