BK AK-FVG/SR Institutional⚔️ BK AK-FVG/SR Institutional — Smart Money Gaps. True Support/Resistance. ⚔️
There are already some excellent FVG tools out there—built by traders who’ve put in real work studying imbalance, liquidity, and smart money behavior.
BK AK-FVG/SR Institutional is simply my version of that idea: my attempt to take what I learned from those great frameworks and push it further into volume, structure, lifecycle, and accountability—so every zone is treated as a living, graded object, not just a static box on a chart.
This is my 12th script release—and that number matters to me. Twelve is structure: twelve tribes, twelve months, twelve divisions of ordered space. It’s the number of complete arrangement. So for script twelve, I’m releasing what I consider my institutional map—a tool built specifically around boundaries, alignment, and where real money chooses to defend and attack.
This script is invite-only. Access is controlled. It’s built for traders who actually respect structure, not tourists looking for colors on a chart.
“AK” in the name is not branding—it’s honor. It belongs to my mentor A.K., whose standard of discipline and clarity sits behind every decision in this tool. Above that, all glory and gratitude to Gd—the real source of any wisdom, edge, or endurance we have in this game.
🧠 What BK AK-FVG/SR Institutional Actually Does
This is a full institutional FVG/SR system, not a paintbrush. It:
Detects and manages bullish & bearish FVG zones using ATR/percent filters and aging logic
Assigns a 0–100 institutional strength score and 1–5★ rating to every zone
Builds a per-zone lower-timeframe volume profile with POC, volume delta, and optional volume text
Tracks historical touches, breaks, role reversals, merging, clustering, and divergence at the zone
Runs per-zone backtest stats and feeds that into an adaptive/ML-style confidence weight
Compresses the whole environment into a real-time Info Table: bias, market position, nearest S/R, risk, session
Fires alerts only when something actually matters: strong FVGs, magnetic pull, divergence at a level
If price is the map, this is the layer that tells you which levels are real and which are noise.
🧱 Core Engine — Institutional Zone Logic
Smart FVG Detection
Clean 3-bar gap logic for bullish & bearish FVGs
ATR or % based minimum gap size + optional distance filter from price
Zone aging with max life in bars and optional “reset on touch”
Overlap & proximity control:
Prevent overlapping zones
Enforce minimum bar spacing
Or keep only the strongest zone in a cluster
Institutional Strength & Rating
Each zone gets a score (0–100) + star rating (1–5★) based on:
Volume vs average (with optional lower timeframe split)
Gap size vs ATR
Pivot confluence
Historical meaningful touches
Role reversal (support ↔ resistance)
MTF FVG alignment
Session weighting (Asian / London / NY / overlaps)
Order block overlap & imbalance behavior
VWAP proximity/extremes
Fib level alignment
Delta divergence
Zone clustering & consolidation
Adaptive “performance weight” from historical reactions
Bad zones don’t just look weaker—they literally get filtered out when you enable minimum star / institutional filters.
📊 In-Zone Volume & Profile Intelligence
Each zone can be backed by lower-timeframe volume:
Per-zone volume histogram inside the gap
POC line at the most traded price in that zone
Optional total volume label
POC line color shifts with volume delta (buy vs sell pressure)
Additional bull/bear volume bars alongside the zone and/or numeric volume text inside the box
You’re not just staring at a gap—you’re seeing the liquidity pocket inside the gap.
🎯 Structure, Confluence & Role Reversal
The engine includes deep structural context:
Pivots: stored swing highs/lows for S/R confluence
MTF FVG Confluence: two extra timeframes for higher-timeframe alignment
Fibonacci Levels: auto-mapped 0.236 / 0.382 / 0.5 / 0.618 / 0.786 with optional lines & labels
Order Blocks & Imbalance: engulfing OB detection + volume/imbalance filters
VWAP Intelligence: VWAP proximity/extreme bonuses, optional short-form plotting
Delta Divergence: volume-based confirmation flags for zones under real internal pressure
Smart S/R Positioning & Role Flip
Hide “wrong side” zones or auto-flip roles when broken & retested
Track broken zones for N bars, then retire them
Mark role reversals with badges and strength bonuses
Support/resistance is treated like behavior, not just lines.
🤖 Adaptive Learning & Backtesting
Each zone is monitored when price touches it:
Checks if price respects the zone and moves X points away (success)
Or violates beyond failure threshold (failure)
Tracks successes, failures, and win rate per zone
Feeds a confidence score into an adaptive weight so consistently performing zones matter more
Zones that meet the bar get ML/🤖 marking when enabled
The script doesn’t just say “this looks strong”—it tracks how it actually behaved.
📋 Info Table & Sessions — On-Chart War Room
On the latest bar, an Info Table summarizes:
Zone count (bull vs bear)
Market position (NEAR SUPPORT / NEAR RESISTANCE / ABOVE RESISTANCE / BELOW SUPPORT / NEUTRAL)
Nearest S/R levels
Trade bias (BULLISH / BEARISH / NEUTRAL)
Active session (ASIAN / LONDON / NY / OVERLAP / OFF)
Risk level (LOW / MED / HIGH)
Sessions are coded in EST with multipliers so you can weight London/NY more heavily than Asia if that matches your playbook.
Hover the table for a strategy tooltip: live market posture, suggested behavior near the zones, and context around the current environment.
⚠ Divergence & Alerts
Real-time RSI/OBV/ADX divergence detection at the zone
Flexible visual modes: border, icon, color change, or combinations
Alerts included:
Magnetic Zone Pull (price entering ATR-based “field” of a strong zone)
Strong Bullish FVG
Strong Bearish FVG
Divergence at Zone
Let the chart call you when a real decision point appears, instead of forcing you to stare all day.
🕹 How to Use BK AK-FVG/SR Institutional
1️⃣ Build Bias With Structure
Use the Info Table, star ratings, and where the 4–5★ zones cluster relative to price to decide which side of the tape you’re allowed to trade on.
2️⃣ Only Trade From Strong, Aligned Zones
Focus on 4–5★ zones with confluence (pivots, Fib, OB, VWAP, clustering).
Use the zone body/wick region as your execution area, not some random mid-air candle.
3️⃣ Treat Role Reversal & Clusters as Campaign Nodes
When a strong zone breaks, flips role, and collects touches, that’s campaign territory—not scalp noise.
4️⃣ Use Divergence/Delta as a Brake, Not a Toy
If divergence lights up at your level, respect it: size down, wait for confirmation, or stand down.
5️⃣ Let the Engine Filter Junk For You
Tune volMultiplier, star thresholds, session multipliers, distance filters, and min star rating to match your timeframe and instrument.
This script’s job is to remove your excuse for taking low-quality trades.
📜 Boundaries & Wisdom
King Solomon wrote:
“Do not remove the ancient boundary stone that your fathers have set.”
This tool is built around that idea. It maps where the real boundaries live—where smart money defends, attacks, traps, and reverses.
It will not give you discipline. It will simply remove the illusion that “you didn’t know the level was there.”
🔒 Access & Usage
This is an invite-only TradingView script.
Access is granted at my discretion to traders who take structure, risk, and discipline seriously.

May Gd bless your vision, your patience, and every decision you make at the edge. 🙏

Altcoins Exit Executor: 3Commas-Integrated [SwissAlgo]Title: Altcoins Exit Executor: 3Commas-Integrated
Plan and Execute your Altcoins Exits via 3Commas Integration
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Facing These Struggles?
You're holding a portfolio of altcoins, and the question keeps nagging you: when should you exit? how?
If you're like many crypto traders, you might recognize these familiar struggles:
The Planning Problem : You know you should have an exit strategy, but every time you sit down to plan it, you get overwhelmed. Should you sell at 2x? 5x? What about that resistance level you spotted last month? You end up postponing the decision again and again.
The Execution Headache : You use 3Commas (or an Exchange directly) for your trades, but setting up Smart Trades for multiple coins means endless manual data entry. Price levels, percentages, quantities - by the time you finish entering everything, the market may have already moved.
The Portfolio Scale Problem : Managing 5 altcoins is challenging enough, but what about 15? Or 30? The complexity grows exponentially with each additional position. What started as a manageable analysis for a few coins becomes an overwhelming juggling act that may lead to rushed decisions or complete paralysis.
The Consistency Challenge : You approach each coin differently. Maybe you're conservative with one position and aggressive with another, without any systematic reasoning. Your portfolio becomes a patchwork of random decisions rather than a coherent strategy. With dozens of positions, maintaining any consistent approach becomes nearly impossible.
The "What If" Anxiety : What happens if the market crashes while you're sleeping? You know you should have stop-losses, but setting them up properly across multiple positions feels overwhelming. The more coins you hold, the more potential failure points you need to monitor.
The Information Overload : You collect multiple data points, but how do you synthesize all this information into actionable exit points? Multiply this analysis across 20+ different altcoins, and the task becomes nearly impossible to execute consistently.
This indicator may help address these challenges by providing you with:
A systematic approach to analyzing potential resistance levels across multiple technical frameworks. All potential resistances (including Fibonacci levels) are calculated automatically
Tools to structure your exit plan with clear take-profit levels and position sizing
Automated generation of 3Commas 'Smart Trades' that match your exit strategy exactly, without manual entry
Optional emergency exit protection that could potentially guard against sudden market reversals (exit managed within the 3Commas 'Smart Trade' itself)
A consistent methodology you can apply across your entire altcoin portfolio, regardless of size
The goal is to transform exit planning from a source of stress and procrastination into a structured, repeatable process that may help you execute your trading plan in a consistent fashion, whether you're managing 3 coins or 30.
------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Is this for You?
This indicator is designed for cryptocurrency traders who:
Hold a portfolio of multiple altcoins (typically 5+ positions)
Are actively seeking a systematic solution to plan and execute exit strategies
Have an active 3Commas account connected to their exchange
Understand 3Commas basics: Smart Trades, API connections, and account management
Have an account tier that supports their portfolio size (3Commas Free Plan: up to 3 trades/alts, Pro Plan: up to 50+ trades/alts)
Important: This tool provides analysis and automation assistance, not trading advice. All exit decisions require your individual judgment and proper risk management.
If you don't use 3Commas, you may still find value in the resistance analysis components, though the automated execution features require a 3Commas account and basic platform knowledge.
------------------------------------------------------------------
3. How does it work?
This indicator streamlines your exit planning process into four steps:
Step 1: Analyze Your Coin & Define Exit Plan
The indicator automatically calculates multiple types of resistance levels that may act as potential exit points:
Fibonacci Extensions (projected resistance from recent price swings)
Fibonacci Retracements (resistance from previous cycle highs)
Major Pivot Highs (historical price rejection points)
Volume Imbalances (PVSRA analysis showing institutional activity zones)
Price Multipliers (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x psychological levels)
Market Trend Analysis (bull/bear market strength assessment)
You can view all resistance types together or focus on specific categories to identify potential exit zones.
Step 2: Enter Your Exit Plan.
Define your sequential take-profit strategy:
Set up to 5 take-profit levels with specific prices
Assign percentage of coins to sell at each level
Add your total coin quantity and average entry price
Optionally enable emergency exit (stop-loss) protection. The indicator validates your plan in real-time, ensuring percentages sum to 100% and prices follow logical sequences.
Step 3: Connect with 3Commas
Relay Secret
3Commas API keys (Public and Private)
Account ID (your exchange account on 3Commas)
Step 4: Generate Smart Trade on 3Commas
Create a TradingView alert that automatically:
Sends your complete exit plan to 3Commas
Creates a Smart Trade with all your take-profit levels
Includes stop-loss protection if enabled
Requires no manual data entry on the 3Commas platform
The entire process is designed to streamline the time required to move from analysis to execution, providing a standardized methodology across your altcoin positions.
User Experience Features:
Step-by-step guided workflow
Interactive submission helper with status tracking
Exit plan table with detailed projections
Comprehensive legend and educational tooltips
Dark/light theme compatibility
Organized visual presentation of all resistance levels
------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Using the Indicator
Complete the 4-step guided workflow within the indicator to set up an Exit Plan and submit it to 3Commas.
At the end of the process, you will see a Smart Trade created on 3Commas reflecting your custom Exit Plan (inclusive of Stop Loss, if enabled).
Recommended Settings
Analyze your Exit Plan on the 1-Day timeframe
Use the Tradingview's Dark-Theme for high visual contrast
Set candles to 'Bar-Type' to view volumr-based candle colors (PVSRA analysis)
Use desktop for full content visibility
Analyzing Resistance Levels
Enable "Show all Resistance Levels" to view comprehensive analysis across your chart
Focus on resistance clusters where multiple resistance seem to converge - these may indicate stronger potential exit zones
Note the color-coded system: gray lines indicate closer levels, red lines suggest stronger resistance or potentially "out-of-reach" targets
Pay attention to the Golden Zone (Fibonacci 0.618-0.786 area) highlighted in green, it might act as a significant price magnet for average altcoins
Decide how many Take Profit Steps to use (min. 1 - max- 5)
Setting up your Plan
Enter the total number of coins you want to sell with the script
Enter your average entry price, if known (otherwise the script will use the current price as backup)
Enter the TP levels you decided to activate (price, qty to sell at each TP level)
Decide about the Emergency Exit (the price that, when broken, will trigger the sale of 100% of your coins with a close limit order)
Setting Up Your 3Commas Connection
Generate API keys in your 3Commas account with (User Profile→3Commas API→New API Access Token→System Generated→Permission: "Smart Trades Only" (leave all other permissions unchecked) + Whitelisted IP→Create→Save API public/private key securely)
Find your Account ID in the 3Commas exchange URL (My Portfolio→View Exchange→Look at the last number in the url of the webpage - should be a 8-digit number)
Enter all credentials in the indicator's connection section
Verify the green checkmarks appear on the Exit Table, confirming that plan and connection are validated
Deploying Your Plan
Check box "Step 1: Check and confirm Exit Plan" in section 4 of User Settings
Create a TradingView alert (Alert→Select Altcoins Exit Planner PRO→Any alert() function call→Interval Same as Chart→Open Ended→Message: coin name→Notifications: enable Webhook→save and exit
Your Smart Trade appears automatically in 3Commas within minutes
IMPORTANT: Delete the alert after successful deployment to prevent duplicated Smart Trades
To modify the Exit Plan: Delete the Smart Trade on 3Commas and repeat the process above
Monitor your Smart Trade execution through your 3Commas dashboard
Important Notes
Always verify your plan in the Exit Table before deployment
Test with smaller positions initially to familiarize yourself with the process
The indicator provides analysis - final trading decisions remain yours
Manage your API keys and Relay secret with caution: do not share with third parties, store them securely, use malware protection on your PC
Your API keys, trading data, and credentials are transmitted securely through direct API connections and are never stored, logged, or accessible to the indicator author - all communication occurs directly between your browser and the target platforms that support the service.
------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Understanding the Resistance Analysis
Fibonacci Extensions: Calculated from three key points: 2022 bear market bottom → early 2024 bull market high → 2025 retracement low. These project where price might encounter resistance during future rallies based on mathematical ratios (0.618, 1.0, 1.618, 2.0, etc.).
Fibonacci Retracements: For established altcoins: calculated from 2021 cycle peak to 2022 bottom. For newer altcoins: from all-time high to subsequent major low. These show potential resistance zones where price may struggle to reclaim previous highs.
Major Pivot Highs: Historical price levels where significant reversals occurred. These act as potential resistance because traders may remember these levels and place sell orders near them.
Volume Imbalances (PVSRA) : Areas where price moved rapidly on abnormal volume, creating gaps that may attract future price action or orders. The indicator uses volume-to-price-range analysis (PVSRA candles or "Vector Candles") to identify these zones.
Price Multipliers: Reference lines showing 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x current price to help you assess the feasibility of your exit targets. These serve as a "reality check" - if you're setting a take-profit at 4x current price, you can quickly evaluate whether that level seems reasonable given current market conditions and your risk tolerance.
Market Trend Analysis: Uses EMA combined with ADX/DMI indicators to assess current market phase (bull/strong bull, bear/strong/bear, weakening trend)
This technical foundation helps explain why certain price levels appear as potential exit zones, though market conditions ultimately determine actual price behavior.
------------------------------------------------------------------
6. FAQs
GENERAL FAQS
Can I use one indicator for multiple altcoins?
Answer: No, each altcoin needs its own chart layout with a separate indicator installation. Resistance levels are calculated from each coin's unique price history, and your exit plan will be different for each position. When you deploy an alert, it creates one Smart Trade on 3Commas for that specific coin only.
To manage multiple coins, create separate TradingView layouts for each altcoin, configure the indicator individually on each chart, then deploy one alert per coin when ready to execute. This ensures each position gets personalized analysis and allows different exit strategies across your portfolio.
EXIT PLAN ANALYSIS/RESISTANCE LEVELS
Are resistance lines calculated automatically by the script?
Answer: Yes, all resistance lines are calculated automatically based on your coin's price history and market data. You don't need to manually identify or draw any levels. The script analyzes historical pivots, calculates Fibonacci ratios from key price swings, identifies volume imbalance zones, and plots everything on your chart.
Simply enable "Show all Resistance Levels" in the settings and the indicator will display all potential resistance zones with color-coded lines and labels showing the exact price levels and their significance.
What's the difference between Fibonacci Extensions and Fibonacci Retracements?
Answer: Fibonacci Retracements look at completed moves from the past and show where price might struggle to reclaim previous highs. For established coins, they're calculated from 2021 peaks down to 2022 bottoms.
Fibonacci Extensions project forward from recent price swings to estimate where ongoing rallies might encounter resistance. They use three points: 2022 bottom, 2024 high, and 2025 retracement low.
Retracements ask "where might recovery stall based on old highs" while Extensions ask "where might this current rally run into trouble." Both use the same mathematical ratios but different reference points to give you complementary resistance perspectives.
Why are some resistance lines gray and others red?
Answer: The color coding helps you assess the potential difficulty of reaching different resistance levels. Gray lines represent closer resistance levels, while red lines indicate stronger resistance or potentially "out-of-reach" targets that may require exceptional market conditions to break through.
This visual system helps you prioritize your exit planning by distinguishing between near-term targets and more ambitious longer-term objectives when setting your take-profit levels.
What is the resistance from major pivot highs?
Answer: Major pivot highs are historical price levels where significant reversals occurred in the past. These levels often act as resistance because traders remember these previous "ceiling" points where price failed to break higher and may place sell orders near them again.
The indicator automatically identifies these pivot points from your coin's price history and draws horizontal lines at those levels. When price approaches these areas again, it may struggle to break through due to psychological resistance and clustered sell orders from traders who expect similar rejection patterns.
What is the resistance from abnormal volumes?
Answer: Volume imbalances occur when price moves rapidly on abnormally high volume, creating gaps or zones where institutions moved large amounts quickly. These areas often act as resistance when price returns to them because institutional traders may want to "fill" these gaps or add to their positions at those levels.
The indicator uses PVSRA analysis to identify candles with abnormal volume-to-price ratios and marks these zones on your chart. When price approaches these imbalance areas again, it may encounter resistance from institutional activity or algorithmic trading systems programmed to react at these levels.
What are price multipliers?
Answer: Price multipliers are reference lines showing 2x, 3x, 4x, and 5x the current price. They serve as a reality check when setting your take-profit targets. If you're considering a take-profit at $10 and current price is $2, you can quickly see that's a 5x target and evaluate whether that seems realistic given current market conditions.
These lines help you assess the feasibility of your exit goals and avoid setting unrealistic expectations. They're not resistance levels themselves, but visual aids to help you gauge whether your planned targets are conservative, aggressive, or somewhere in between
How is the EMA calculated and why does it represent bull/bear market intensity?
Answer: The indicator uses a 147-period EMA (1D tf) combined with ADX and DMI indicators to assess market phases. The EMA provides the basic trend direction - when price is above the EMA, it suggests bullish conditions, and when below, bearish conditions.
The intensity comes from the ADX/DMI analysis. Strong bull markets occur when price is above the EMA, ADX is above 25 (indicating strong trend), and the positive directional indicator dominates. Strong bear markets show the opposite pattern with negative directional movement dominating.
The system also uses weekly ADX slope to confirm trend strength is increasing rather than fading. This combination helps distinguish between weak sideways markets and genuine strong trending phases, giving you context at the time of exit planning.
EXIT PLAN
Why does my exit plan show errors?
Answer: The indicator validates your plan in real-time and shows specific error messages to help you fix issues. Common problems include take-profit percentages that don't sum to exactly 100%, price levels set in wrong order (TP2 must be higher than TP1), or gaps in your sequence (you can't use TP3 without filling TP1 and TP2 first).
Check the Exit Plan Validation section in the table - it will show exactly what needs fixing with messages like "TP percentages must sum to exactly 100%" or "Fill TPs consecutively starting from TP1." Fix the highlighted issue and the error will clear automatically, turning your validation checkmark green when everything is correct.
Why do I need to provide my coin quantity and average entry price?
Answer: The coin quantity is essential because the indicator calculates exact amounts to sell at each take-profit level based on your percentages. If you set TP1 to sell 25% of your position, the script needs to know your total quantity to calculate that 25% means exactly X coins in your 3Commas Smart Trade.
The average entry price helps calculate your projected gains and portfolio performance in the Exit Table. If you don't know your exact entry price, leave it at zero and the indicator will use current price as a fallback for calculations. Both pieces of information ensure your Smart Trade matches your actual position size and gives you accurate profit projections.
What is the emergency exit price?
Answer: The emergency exit price is an optional stop-loss feature that automatically sells 100% of your coin position if price falls to your specified level. This is critical to understand because once triggered, 3Commas will execute the sale immediately without further confirmation.
When price hits your emergency exit level, 3Commas places a limit sell order at 3% below that price to avoid poor market execution. However, execution is not guaranteed because limit orders may not fill during extreme volatility or if price gaps below your limit level. Use this feature cautiously and set the emergency price well below normal support levels to account for typical market fluctuations.
This sells your entire position regardless of your take-profit plan, so only enable it if you want automated crash protection and understand the risks of potential false breakdowns triggering unnecessary exits.
3COMMAS CONNECTION
How do I get my 3Commas API keys and Account ID?
Answer:
For API Keys: Log into 3Commas, go to User Profile → 3Commas API → New API Access Token → System Generated. Set permissions to "Smart Trades Only" (leave all other permissions unchecked) and add your IP to the whitelist for security. Save both the public and private keys securely after creation.
For Account ID: Go to My Portfolio → View Exchange in 3Commas. Look at the URL in your browser - the Account ID is the 8-digit number at the end of the webpage address (example: if the URL shows "/accounts/12345678" then your Account ID is 12345678).
Important: Never share these credentials with anyone. The indicator transmits them directly to 3Commas through secure API connections without storing or logging them. If you suspect your keys are compromised, revoke them immediately in your 3Commas account and generate new ones.
ALERTS
I have set up my exit plan, what's next?
Answer: Once your exit plan is configured and shows green checkmarks in the validation section, follow the 4-step workflow in the indicator. Check "Step 1: Check and confirm Exit Plan" to enable alert firing, then create a TradingView alert using the Altcoins Exit Planner PRO condition with "Any alert() function call" trigger.
The alert fires immediately and sends your plan to 3Commas. Within minutes, you should see a new Smart Trade appear in your 3Commas dashboard matching your exact exit strategy. After confirming the Smart Trade was created successfully, delete the TradingView alert to prevent duplicate submissions.
From that point, 3Commas manages your exit automatically according to your plan. Monitor execution through your 3Commas dashboard and let the platform handle the sequential take-profit levels as price moves.
How do I create the TradingView alert?
Answer: Click the "Alert" button in TradingView (bell icon in the top toolbar). In the alert setup window, set Condition to "Altcoins Exit Planner PRO" and Trigger to "Any alert() function call." Keep Interval as "Same as Chart" and Expiration as "Open Ended."
In the Message section, you can name your alert anything you want. In the Notifications section, enable the webhook option (leave the URL field as you'll handle that separately). You can also enable email or sound notifications if desired.
Click "Create" to activate the alert. If Step 1 is already checked in your indicator, the alert will fire immediately and send your exit plan to 3Commas. Remember to delete this alert after your Smart Trade appears to prevent duplicates.
I got the Smart Trade on 3Commas, what's next?
Answer: Congratulations! Your exit plan is now active and automated. Delete the TradingView alert immediately to prevent duplicate Smart Trades from being created. You can now monitor your Smart Trade's progress through your 3Commas dashboard.
3Commas will automatically execute your take-profit levels as price reaches each target, selling the specified percentages of your position according to your plan. If you enabled emergency exit protection, that stop-loss is also active and monitoring for downside protection.
Your job is essentially done - let 3Commas handle the execution while you monitor overall market conditions. You can view trade progress, modify the Smart Trade if needed, or manually close it early through your 3Commas interface. The platform will manage all the sequential selling according to your original exit strategy.
Can I cancel my exit plan and resubmit to 3Commas?
Answer: Yes, you can modify your exit strategy by first deleting the existing Smart Trade in your 3Commas dashboard, then resubmitting a new plan through the indicator.
To cancel and resubmit: Go to your 3Commas Smart Trades section and delete the current trade. Return to the TradingView indicator, modify your exit plan settings (prices, percentages, emergency exit, etc.), then repeat the deployment process by checking Step 1 and creating a new alert.
This creates a fresh Smart Trade with your updated parameters. Always ensure you delete the old Smart Trade first to avoid having multiple conflicting exit plans running simultaneously. The new deployment will overwrite nothing automatically - you must manually clean up the old trade before submitting the revised plan.
Why did I get a second Smart Trade after the first one?
Answer: This happens when you forget to delete the TradingView alert after your first Smart Trade was created successfully. The alert remains active and continues firing, creating duplicate Smart Trades each time it triggers.
Always delete your TradingView alert immediately after confirming your Smart Trade appears in 3Commas. Go to your TradingView alerts list, find the alert you created for this exit plan, and delete it completely. Also delete any duplicate Smart Trades in your 3Commas dashboard to avoid confusion.
To prevent this in future deployments, remember the workflow: create alert → Smart Trade appears → delete alert immediately. Each exit plan should only generate one Smart Trade, and keeping alerts active will cause unwanted duplicates.

PumpC PAC & MAsPumpC – PAC & MAs (Open Source)
A complete Price Action Candles (PAC) toolkit combining classical price action patterns (Fair Value Gaps, Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and Volume Imbalances) with a flexible Moving Averages (MAs) module and an advanced bar-coloring system.
This script highlights supply/demand inefficiencies and micro-patterns with forward-extending boxes, recolors zones when mitigated, qualifies patterns with a global High-Volume filter, and ships with ready-to-use alerts. It works across intraday through swing trading on any market (e.g., NASDAQ:QQQ , $CME:ES1!, FX:EURUSD , BITSTAMP:BTCUSD ).
This is an open-source script. The description is detailed so users understand what the script does, how it works, and how to use it. It makes no performance claims and does not provide trade advice.
Acknowledgment & Credits
This script originates from the structural and box-handling logic found in the Super OrderBlock / FVG / BoS Tools by makuchaku & eFe. Their pioneering framework provided the base methods for managing arrays of boxes, extending zones forward, and recoloring once mitigated.
Building on that foundation, I have substantially expanded and adapted the code to create a unified Price Action Candles toolkit . This includes Al Brooks–inspired PAC logic, additional patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, Inverted Hammers, and the new Volume Imbalance module, along with strong-bar coloring, close-threshold detection, a flexible global High-Volume filter, and a multi-timeframe Moving Averages system.
What it does
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Detects 3-bar displacement gaps, plots forward-extending boxes, and optionally recolors them once mitigated.
Inside Bars (IB) : Highlights bars fully contained within the prior candle’s range, with optional high-volume filter.
Hammers (H) & Inverted Hammers (IH) : Identifies rejection candles using configurable body/upper/lower wick thresholds. High-volume qualification optional.
Volume Imbalances (VI) : Detects inter-body gaps where one candle’s body does not overlap the prior candle’s body. Boxes extend forward until wick-based mitigation occurs (only after the two-bar formation completes). Alerts available for creation and mitigation.
Mitigation Recolor : Each pattern can flip to a mitigated color once price trades back through its vertical zone.
Moving Averages (MAs) : Four configurable EMAs/SMAs, with per-MA timeframe, length, color, and clutter-free plotting rules.
Strong Bar Coloring : Highlights bullish/bearish engulfing reversals with different colors for high-volume vs low-volume cases.
Close Threshold Bars : Marks candles that close in the top or bottom portion of their range, even if the body is small. Helps spot continuation pressure before a full trend bar forms.
Alerts : Notifications available for FVG+, FVG−, IB, H, IH, VI creation, and VI mitigation.
Connection to Al Brooks’ PAC teachings
This script reflects Al Brooks’ Price Action Candle methodology. PAC patterns like Inside Bars, Hammers, and Inverted Hammers are not trade signals on their own—they gain meaning in context of trend, failed breakouts, and effort vs. result.
By layering in volume imbalances, strong-bar reversals, and volume filters, this script focuses attention on the PACs that show true participation and conviction, aligning with Brooks’ emphasis on reading crowd psychology through price action.
Why the High-Volume filter matters
Volume is a key proxy for conviction. A PAC or VI formed on light volume can be misleading noise; one formed on above-average volume carries more weight.
Elevates Inside Bars that show absorption/compression with heavy activity.
Distinguishes Hammers that reject price aggressively vs. weak drifts.
Filters Inverted Hammers to emphasize true supply pressure.
Highlights VI zones where institutional order flow left inefficiencies.
Differentiates strong engulfing reversals from weaker, low-participation moves.

Advanced Market TheoryADVANCED MARKET THEORY (AMT)
This is not an indicator. It is a lens through which to see the true nature of the market.
Welcome to the definitive application of Auction Market Theory. What you have before you is the culmination of decades of market theory, fused with state-of-the-art data analysis and visual engineering. It is an institutional-grade intelligence engine designed for the serious trader who seeks to move beyond simplistic indicators and understand the fundamental forces that drive price.
This guide is your complete reference. Read it. Study it. Internalize it. The market is a complex story, and this tool is the language with which to read it.
PART I: THE GRAND THEORY - A UNIVERSE IN AN AUCTION
To understand the market, you must first understand its purpose. The market is a mechanism of discovery, organized by a continuous, two-way auction.
This foundational concept was pioneered by the legendary trader J. Peter Steidlmayer at the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1980s. He observed that beneath the chaotic facade of ticking prices lies a beautifully organized structure. The market's primary function is not to go up or down, but to facilitate trade by seeking a price level that encourages the maximum amount of interaction between buyers and sellers. This price is "value."
The Organizing Principle: The Normal Distribution
Over any given period, the market's activity will naturally form a bell curve (a normal distribution) turned on its side. This is the blueprint of the auction.
The Point of Control (POC): This is the peak of the bell curve—the single price level where the most trade occurred. It represents the point of maximum consensus, the "fairest price" as determined by the market participants. It is the gravitational center of the session.
The Value Area (VA): This is the heart of the bell curve, typically containing 70% of the session's activity (one standard deviation). This is the zone of "accepted value." Prices within this area are considered fair and are where the market is most comfortable conducting business.
The Extremes: The thin areas at the top and bottom of the curve are the "unfair" prices. These are levels where one side of the auction (buyers at the top, sellers at the bottom) was shut off, and trade was quickly rejected. These are areas of emotional trading and excess.
The Narrative of the Day: Balance vs. Imbalance
Every trading session is a story of the market's search for value.
Balance: When the market rotates and builds a symmetrical, bell-shaped profile, it is in a state of balance . Buyers and sellers are in agreement, and the market is range-bound.
Imbalance: When the market moves decisively away from a balanced area, it is in a state of imbalance . This is a trend. The market is actively seeking new information and a new area of value because the old one was rejected.
Your Purpose as a Trader
Your job is to read this story in real-time. Are we in balance or imbalance? Is the auction succeeding or failing at these new prices? The Advanced Market Theory engine is your Rosetta Stone to translate this complex narrative into actionable intelligence.
PART II: THE AMT ENGINE - AN EVOLUTION IN MARKET VISION
A standard market profile tool shows you a picture. The AMT Engine gives you the architect's full schematics, the engineer's stress tests, and the psychologist's behavioral analysis, all at once.
This is what makes it the Advanced Market Theory. We have fused the timeless principles with layers of modern intelligence:
TRINITY ANALYSIS: You can view the market through three distinct lenses. A Volume Profile shows where the money traded. A TPO (Time) Profile shows where the market spent its time. The revolutionary Hybrid Profile fuses both, giving you a complete picture of market conviction—marrying volume with duration.
AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL DECODING: The engine acts as your automated analyst, identifying critical structural phenomena in real-time:
Poor Highs/Lows: Weak auction points that signal a high probability of reversal.
Single Prints & Ledges: Footprints of rapid, aggressive market moves and areas of strong institutional acceptance.
Day Type Classification: The engine analyzes the session's personality as it develops ("Trend Day," "Normal Day," etc.), allowing you to adapt your strategy to the market's current character.
MACRO & MICRO FUSION: Via the Composite Profile , the engine merges weeks of data to reveal the major institutional battlegrounds that govern long-term price action. You can see the daily skirmish and the multi-month war on a single chart.
ORDER FLOW INTELLIGENCE: The ultimate advancement is the integrated Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) engine. This moves beyond structure to analyze the raw aggression of buyers versus sellers. It is your window into the market's soul, automatically detecting critical Divergences that often precede major trend shifts.
ADAPTIVE SIGNALING: The engine's signal generation is not static; it is a thinking system. It evaluates setups based on a multi-factor Confluence Score , understands the market Regime (e.g., High Volatility), and adjusts its own confidence ( Probability % ) based on the complete context.
This is not a tool that gives you signals. This is a tool that gives you understanding .
PART III: THE VISUAL KEY - A LEXICON OF MARKET STRUCTURE
Every element on your chart is a piece of information. This is your guide to reading it fluently.
--- THE CORE ARCHITECTURE ---
The Profile Histogram: The primary visual on the left of each session. Its shape is the story. A thin profile is a trend; a fat, symmetrical profile is balance.
Blue Box : The zone of accepted, "fair" value. The heart of the session's business.
Bright Orange Line & Label : The Point of Control. The gravitational center. The price of maximum consensus. The most significant intraday level.
Dashed Blue Lines & Labels : The boundaries of value. Critical inflection points where the market decides to either remain in balance or seek value elsewhere.
Dashed Cyan Lines & Labels : The major, long-term structural levels derived from weeks of data. These are institutional reference points and carry immense weight. Treat them as primary support and resistance.
Dashed Orange Lines & Labels : Marks a Poor or Unfinished Auction . These represent emotional, weak extremes and are high-probability targets for future price action.
Diamond Markers : Mark Single Prints , which are footprints of aggressive, one-sided moves that left a "liquidity vacuum." Price is often drawn back to these levels to "repair" the poor structure.
Arrow Markers : Mark Ledges , which are areas of strong horizontal acceptance. They often act as powerful support/resistance in the future.
Dotted Gray Lines & Labels : The projected daily range based on multiples of the Initial Balance . Use them to set realistic profit targets and gauge the day's potential.
--- THE SIGNAL SUITE ---
Colored Triangles : These are your high-probability entry signals. The color is a strategic playbook:
Gold Triangle : ELITE Signal. An A+ setup with overwhelming confluence. This is the highest quality signal the engine can produce.
Yellow Triangle : FADE Signal. A counter-trend setup against an exhausted move at a structural extreme.
Cyan Triangle : BREAKOUT Signal. A momentum setup attempting to capitalize on a breakout from the value area.
Purple Triangle : ROTATION Signal. A mean-reversion setup within the value area, typically from one edge towards the POC.
Magenta Triangle : LIQUIDITY Signal. A sophisticated setup that identifies a "stop run" or liquidity sweep.
Percentage Number: The engine's calculated probability of success . This is not a guarantee, but a data-driven confidence score.
Dotted Gray Line: The signal's Entry Price .
Dashed Green Lines: The calculated Take Profit Targets .
Dashed Red Line: The calculated Stop Loss level.
PART IV: THE DASHBOARD - YOUR STRATEGIC COMMAND CENTER
The dashboard is your real-time intelligence briefing. It synthesizes all the engine's analysis into a clear, concise, and constantly updating summary.
--- CURRENT SESSION ---
POC, VAH, VAL: The live values for the core structure.
Profile Shape: Is the current auction top-heavy ( b-shaped ), bottom-heavy ( P-shaped ), or balanced ( D-shaped )?
VA Width: Is the value area expanding (trending) or contracting (balancing)?
Day Type: The engine's judgment on the day's personality. Use this to select the right strategy.
IB Range & POC Trend: Key metrics for understanding the opening sentiment and its evolution.
--- CVD ANALYSIS ---
Session CVD: The raw order flow. Is there more net buying or selling pressure in this session?
CVD Trend & DIVERGENCE: This is your order flow intelligence. Is the order flow confirming the price action? If "DIVERGENCE" flashes, it is a critical, high-alert warning of a potential reversal.
--- MARKET METRICS ---
Volume, ATR, RSI: Your standard contextual metrics, providing a quick read on activity, volatility, and momentum.
Regime: The engine's assessment of the broad market environment: High Volatility (favor breakouts), Low Volatility (favor mean reversion), or Normal .
--- PROFILE STATS, COMPOSITE, & STRUCTURE ---
These sections give you a quick quantitative summary of the profile structure, the major long-term Composite levels, and any active Poor Structures.
--- SIGNAL TYPES & ACTIVE SIGNAL ---
A permanent key to the signal colors and their meanings, along with the full details of the most recent active signal: its Type , Probability , Entry , Stop , and Target .
PART V: THE INPUTS MENU - CALIBRATING YOUR LENS
This engine is designed to be calibrated to your specific needs as a trader. Every input is a lever. This is not a "one size fits all" tool. The extensive tooltips are your built-in user manual, but here are the key areas of focus:
--- MARKET PROFILE ENGINE ---
Profile Mode: This is the most fundamental choice. Volume is the standard for price-based support and resistance. TPO is for analyzing time-based acceptance. Hybrid is the professional's choice, fusing both for a complete picture.
Profile Resolution: This is your zoom lens. Lower values for scalping and intraday precision. Higher values for a cleaner, big-picture view suitable for swing trading.
Composite Sessions: Your timeframe for macro analysis. 5-10 sessions for a weekly view; 20-30 sessions for a monthly, structural view.
--- SESSION & VALUE AREA ---
These settings must be configured correctly for your specific asset. The Session times are critical. The Initial Balance should reflect the key opening period for your market (60 minutes is standard for equities).
--- SIGNAL ENGINE & RISK MANAGEMENT ---
Signal Mode: THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL RISK PROFILE. Set it to Conservative to see only the absolute best A+ setups. Use Elite or Balanced for a standard approach. Use Aggressive only if you are an experienced scalper comfortable with managing more frequent, lower-probability setups.
ATR Multipliers: This suite gives you full, dynamic control over your risk/reward parameters. You can precisely define your initial stop loss distance and profit targets based on the market's current volatility.
A FINAL WORD FROM THE ARCHITECT
The creation of this engine was a journey into the very heart of market dynamics. It was born from a frustrating truth: that the most profound market theories were often confined to books and expensive institutional platforms, inaccessible to the modern retail trader. The goal was to bridge that gap.
The challenge was monumental. Making each discrete system—the volume profile, the TPO counter, the composite engine, the CVD tracker, the signal generator, the dynamic dashboard—work was a task in itself. But the true struggle, the frustrating, painstaking process that consumed countless hours, was making them work in unison . It was about ensuring the CVD analysis could intelligently inform the signal engine, that the day type classification could adjust the probability scores, and that the composite levels could provide context to the intraday structure, all in a seamless, real-time dance of data.
This engine is the result of that relentless pursuit of integration. It is built on the belief that a trader's greatest asset is not a signal, but clarity . It was designed to clear the noise, to organize the chaos, and to present the elegant, underlying logic of the market auction so that you can make better, more informed, and more confident decisions.
It is now in your hands. Use it not as a crutch, but as a lens. See the market for what it truly is.
"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
- John Maynard Keynes

Synthetic OrderBookHow to Use the Enhanced Synthetic OrderBook Indicator
This indicator creates a synthetic representation of market order book data using price action, volume, and other technical factors. It's designed to help you identify significant market imbalances and potential price reversals, especially useful for crypto trading.
Overview
The Enhanced Synthetic OrderBook provides three different view modes, each offering unique insights into market conditions:
1. **Order Book View** - Shows simulated order book depth at different price levels
2. **Delta View** - Displays the imbalance between buying and selling pressure
3. **Liquidation View** - Highlights potential liquidation events that could drive price movements
How to Use Each View Mode
Order Book View
This view simulates what you would see in an exchange order book, showing bids (buy orders) in green and asks (sell orders) in orange/red.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars (bids)**: Represent buying interest at different price levels below the current price
- **Red bars (asks)**: Represent selling interest at different price levels above the current price
- **Bar height**: Taller bars indicate stronger buying/selling interest
- **Threshold lines**: The green line shows the bullish threshold, while the red line shows the bearish threshold
**Trading signals:**
- When green bars (bids) consistently exceed the bullish threshold, consider buying
- When red bars (asks) consistently exceed the bearish threshold, consider selling
- Look for imbalances where bids are significantly larger than asks (or vice versa)
Delta View
This view shows the difference between buying and selling pressure across different price ranges. It's more focused on the imbalance rather than raw order book depth.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars**: Positive delta (more buying than selling pressure)
- **Red bars**: Negative delta (more selling than buying pressure)
- **Threshold lines**: Indicate significant levels of imbalance
- **Zero line**: Neutral point between buying and selling pressure
**Trading signals:**
- When delta stays consistently above the bullish threshold, it suggests strong buying pressure
- When delta stays consistently below the bearish threshold, it suggests strong selling pressure
- Changes in direction of the delta can signal potential reversals
- When the bids/asks delta shallows
Liquidation View
This view estimates potential liquidation events in the market, which often lead to sharp price movements.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars**: Potential long liquidations (forced selling from leveraged long positions)
- **Red bars**: Potential short liquidations (forced buying from leveraged short positions)
- **Bar height**: Indicates the estimated severity of liquidations
**Trading signals:**
- Large liquidation events often lead to price continuation in that direction
- After a series of liquidations, the market may become exhausted, suggesting a potential reversal
- Short liquidations (red) tend to create faster upward price movements than long liquidations
Tips for Beginners
1. **Start with the Order Book view** to get a feel for buying and selling pressure
2. **Use the Delta view** for confirmation of trends and potential reversals
3. **Check the Liquidation view** when markets are volatile to anticipate sharp moves
4. **Watch for strong buy/sell signals** (green/red arrows) which suggest high-confidence trade opportunities
5. **Customize the threshold levels** in the settings to match the volatility of the asset you're trading
6. **Higher timeframes** (4H, daily) generally provide more reliable signals than lower timeframes
## Important Settings to Adjust
- **Order Book/Delta Thresholds**: Adjust these based on the asset's volatility (higher for more volatile assets)
- **Show Bids/Asks**: Toggle to focus on specific directions
- **Adaptive Threshold**: Enables the indicator to automatically adjust sensitivity based on market conditions
- **Volume Profile**: Uses historical volume distribution to improve accuracy
This indicator works best when combined with other confirmation tools like support/resistance levels, trend analysis, and traditional technical indicators.
Order Flow / Delta Volume IndicatorOrder Flow / Delta Volume Indicator
The Order Flow / Delta Volume Indicator is designed to give traders a comprehensive view of market activity by combining delta volume analysis, order flow imbalances, and momentum filters. This indicator is not just a mashup of components, but a carefully crafted tool that enhances decision-making by integrating various layers of market analysis into one powerful system.
How the Components Work Together:
1. Delta Volume Bars: The core of this indicator, delta volume shows the difference between buy and sell orders, allowing traders to see real-time shifts in market sentiment. Green bars indicate buy-side pressure, while red bars show sell-side dominance. By visualizing this in bar form, traders can easily spot significant shifts in order flow that could signal trend changes or momentum shifts.
2. Cumulative Delta Line (Rescaled): The cumulative delta is rescaled to plot under the price candles, giving traders a clear, contextualized view of how net buyer or seller dominance is developing over time. This line helps identify potential market reversals when price moves diverge from cumulative delta trends.
3. Order Flow Imbalance Detection: Imbalances in buy and sell volumes are automatically detected using a threshold, ensuring that traders are alerted to significant market moves. These imbalances provide insight into aggressive buying or selling behavior, which is crucial for identifying points of high trading activity or potential breakout/reversal zones.
4. VWAP Filter: Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is included as a filter to confirm trend direction. The VWAP ensures that buy signals are only triggered when price action is above the VWAP (indicating strength), and sell signals are triggered when price is below the VWAP (indicating weakness). This ensures that signals are not just based on volume, but also on where price is relative to a critical benchmark.
5. RSI Filter: The inclusion of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) adds a momentum check to the signals. By using RSI, traders can avoid taking trades during low-momentum periods, ensuring they only act when market conditions favor a stronger move.
6. Signal Cooldown Feature: To avoid clutter and noise from frequent signals, this indicator includes a cooldown period between signals, ensuring that traders don’t receive excessive alerts in a short timeframe. This feature prevents overtrading and helps focus on high-quality signals.
Why This Combination is Useful:
• Comprehensive Market Insight: By combining delta volume analysis with order flow imbalance detection, this indicator provides a deep understanding of market sentiment, showing not only price movement but the underlying volume dynamics driving those moves.
• Signal Accuracy: The VWAP and RSI filters ensure that signals are only generated in strong market conditions, filtering out weak or false signals that often occur in choppy markets.
• Divergence Detection: The cumulative delta line provides traders with a tool for spotting divergences between price action and underlying volume, allowing for earlier detection of potential reversals.
This indicator is more than a simple combination of existing tools—it’s a strategic fusion of volume analysis, order flow, and momentum filters designed to provide traders with a clearer view of market activity and to generate more reliable buy/sell signals.
This description explains how the components work together and highlights the indicator’s usefulness, which should address TradingView’s concerns about originality and purpose.
legend fox concepts reversal 2.0
The Legend Fox Concepts Reversal is a comprehensive tool that integrates multiple trading elements, including Trading Sessions, Previous Daily and 4-Hour Levels, and the Imbalance Concept, into a single system designed to help traders identify potential reversal points. The indicator visually highlights these opportunities by generating clear signals, such as green arrows for bullish setups and red arrows for bearish setups. It is particularly effective when applied on shorter timeframes and works best in conjunction with trading futures products, helping traders anticipate market turning points with greater precision.
The indicator is comprised of four essential components, each designed to enhance the trader’s experience and adaptability:
1. Preset Method:
◦ Includes presets that plot Previous Daily and 4-Hour High/Low Levels on the chart, visually distinguished by orange and yellow colors. These levels can be configured in four distinct combinations to suit various trading styles, helping users identify key support and resistance zones. Traders have the option to enable or disable these levels based on their strategy, offering enhanced flexibility and clarity for analyzing potential price reactions.
2. Time Parameters:
◦ Allows users to define specific trading hours based on different financial market sessions worldwide. This component is segmented into four distinct parts, enabling users to customize session times to align with their preferred trading windows. Each segment is color-coded for visual clarity and can be independently enabled or disabled, offering precision in tracking session-specific price action and highlighting relevant market activity.
3. Profit Method:
◦ Supports up to four target price levels, defined in either Ticks or Standard Deviations. This feature is especially useful when trading multiple contracts, allowing for a structured approach to taking profits. Users can customize settings such as Distribution Width, Source of Mean, and Price Reference to standard deviations, tailoring the take-profit strategy to fit unique trading goals.
4. Imbalance Setup:
◦ Refers to the size of gaps between candles, an important factor in anticipating potential reversal signals. Depicted as gray for bullish and blue for bearish imbalances, users can modify the gap width, helping to fine-tune the timing of signals to detect reversals earlier or later depending on market conditions.
Use Case:
• Trading Session Setup:
The trading session is defined by the user as Asia (represented by yellow lines on the chart, with time set between 18:00 - 24:00) and London (depicted by blue lines, with time set between 24:00 - 7:00). This segmentation helps to visually differentiate and track the activity within each session.
• Daily Breach preset:
Next, the Daily Breach preset is applied by enabling the Previous Daily Candle High and Low levels to be displayed on the chart (marked by orange dashed lines). These levels serve as key reference points for potential breakouts or reversals.
• Contract Allocation and Take Profit Setup:
We have input the number of contracts to trade: using 4 contracts for the NQ (Nasdaq Futures). The take-profit levels are defined using ticks. For example, once TP1 is reached at 50 ticks, 2 contracts are closed, leaving the remaining 2 contracts to be closed at TP2, which is set at 100 ticks.
• No Trade Signal Detected:
In this instance, price did not hit any of the Previous Daily High or Low levels, so no trade signal was generated.
• Price Action During the London Session:
Price rallied during the London session, forming bullish imbalances marked by blue areas. It then hit a Previous Daily Level, reversed, and crossed back through the bullish imbalance, indicating a potential reversal. A sell signal was generated, shown as a red arrow, along with a pre-determined stop-loss and two take-profit levels. Additionally, a red dot below indicated a possible downward reversal.
• Successful Take Profit Execution:
Price reached both Target Price 1 and Target Price 2, completing the trade as expected.
By seamlessly integrating these components, the tool empowers users to customize their trading strategies by combining different elements to create unique setups that suit their individual trading styles. Additionally, various presets are available, along with comprehensive guidance on how to leverage the tool to its fullest potential.
OrderBlock_TradingHubAn order block refers to a specific area on chart that represents a significant level of support or resistance where institutional traders have placed large orders. By identifying order blocks, traders can gain insights into the intentions and actions of the smart money participants.
Typically, the order block is represented by the last bullish (bearish) candle before a downtrend (uptrend) initiate. Whereas this indicator is quite different from the existing order block detection tools. It categorizes order blocks into different types (Main order blocks, Unmitigated shadow order blocks and Single candle order blocks), checking the following criteria based on TradingHUB-3 technical method:
1) Take out liquidity
2) Cause imbalance
3) Not to be inside-bar
How it works:
This indicator identifies 3 types of order blocks through the following procedure:
1) Main Order Blocks (Extreme, Decisional, and SMT(smart money trap)):
• Check that the candle is not inside bar.
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check that the candle has created an imbalance (FVG) after; if not: the order block will be transferred to the first following candle that created imbalance. We check up to three following candles to find any imbalance.
2) Unmitigated Shadow Order Blocks:
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check that the price has not touched the shadow so far.
3) Single Candle Order Blocks (SCOB):
• Check that the candle is not inside bar.
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check confirmation:
- If the candle is closed higher/lower than the previous candle high/low, it is confirmed as a SCOB; otherwise:
- Move forward up to a specified number (determined by the user) to find a confirmation candle. A confirmation is a candle that closed higher/lower than the SCOB and its following candles high/low. The SCOB's following candles, and the confirmation candle should not take out the SCOB's liquidity again.
How to use it:
• This indicator can be used in all time frames.
• If the liquidity is taken out in an uptrend (downtrend) market structure, when the price meets the order blocks, we can go to lower timeframes and look for a trigger to enter the long (short) trade.
• It is essential for smart money traders to diagnose the market structure accurately. The "Structure_TradingHub " indicator is recommended for its ability to analyze the market structure effectively.
Indicator options:
• Show/Hide mitigated order Blocks: By this option, the user can choose whether to delete the touched order blocks or trimmed them.
• Show/Hide the unmitigated shadows. They are displayed by dashed lines.
• Show/Hide single candle order blocks: They are displayed by two lines placed above and below the candle.
• Changing the color and style of uptrend and downtrend order blocks.
Weis Wave With Speed Index SignalsWeis Wave with Speed Index Signals
The Concept
This indicator has been created to try to quantify "Change in Behavior" concept and provide buy and sell based on this concept. What is Change in Behavior? Price is moving at speed rate based on the trading volume direction (buyers and sellers) until there is imbalance of Supply/Demand. An algorithm has been created to identify this change of Supply/Demand behavior producing a number called "Speed Index". Abnormal Speed Index notes this change in behavior when compared with previous Speed Index numbers of the same pair and in the same timeframe. Speed Index is a relevant number and it's use is to be compared with previous Speed Index numbers and not as an absolute number. Based on Speed Index Behavior of recent waves, price and price wave structure buy and sell signals are available called Plutus.
What it does
This indicator draws a waveline of price waves swings. Up swing is when price goes up and down swing is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it measures the distance in pips of each swing and measure the numbers of bars of each swing. Furthermore, it creates the Speed Index of each swing, the average Speed Index of x selectable wave swings back as well as the average of Speed Index of the x up swings back and the average of the down swing. The indicator is also able to designate a Fast wave which means large pip move with small volume with the letter "F" displayed next to Speed Index and a Slow wave which small pip move with small volume with the letter "S". Finally based on price, Speed Index history and structure it creates eight buy/sell signals called Plutus.
Information available for display all selectable
For each wave swing: Total Volume, Pip Distance, Number of Bars or Total Volume + Pips or Total Volume + Pip Distance+Total Number of Bars
For each wave swing: Speed Index or Total Volume + Speed Index or Speed Index + Average Speed Index or Speed Index+(F or S).
Plutus buy and sell signals when criteria of price location, speed index comparison (abnormal speed index) and wave price structure have been met.
How it does it
This indicator draws a wave-line of price waves swings. Wave Sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. All calculations are based on each wave swing. The code calculates all the above mentioned on the "Information available for Display" section. Based on price, Speed Index history, Speed Index ratio and structure Plutus buy and sell signals are created. The default value of Speed Index ratio is 2. Decreasing Speed Index ratio will create more signals while increasing it will create less signals.
Note: last wave re-paints and no information is displayed on the forming wave, but the whole trading methodology is based on reading previous waves information.
Technical Information
Speed Index
High Speed Index number means a slow wave "S" = Abnormal Speed (high volume small pip move)
Low Speed Index number means a fast wave "F" =Anormal Speed (small volume large pip move)
Normal Speed Index number (are the more frequent numbers seen in the chart which means that the market agrees with the move).
Plutus Signals
PL - Plutus Long, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Resistance Level
PS - Plutus Short, same as above, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated, we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Support Level
PRL - Plutus Reversal Long, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PRS - Plutus Reversal Short, same as above, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PFL - Plutus Fake Long, this when price will do a fast break of the previous down swing bottom and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
PFL - Plutus Fake Short, this when price will do a fast break of the previous up swing top and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
WU - Wyckoff Upthrust plutus (short signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's UpThrust pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
WS - Wyckoff Spring plutus(long signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
How to use it
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - usually supply and demand imbalance happens at his level
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct, meaning that are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swing.
Monitor Speed Index behavior. Be alerted from Abnormal Speed Index number. You can also set using the Extreme Threshold parameter that provide you an alert if the current Speed Index is above or below average Speed Index of x waves back and also meets the min and max bar criteria. For example if we would like to be alerted for a an Abnormal Speed Index of a Slow wave of at 3 bars then we have set the Min Slow Bar parameter to 3, the Extreme Threshold parameter to 0.5 (50%) and the Avg Waves back to 8 then an alert will be produced if the wave before the forming has at least 3 bars and the Speed Index of the wave is 50% higher than the Average Speed Index calculated from 8 waves back. For a Fast wave we can set the Min Fast Bars to 1, Extreme Threshold to 50% and Avg Waves back to 8 which means that we will get an alert if the wave before the forming one has at least 1 bar and it's Speed Index is at least 50% less than the Speed Index Average of 8 waves back.
Plutus signals provide buy and sell entries after specific criteria have been met. These signals have a higher success rate when price is exiting a range or when price is leaving from Support/Resistance or Fib. Consider Plutus signals invalid within a range unless is the exit of the range (Range Break)
What makes it unique
The ability to identify, quantify and be alerted of the Change in Behavior of waves swings when compared with recent previous wave swings making it easier for the trader to be notified about Supply / Demand imbalance. Furthermore, another unique point of this indicator is the Plutus signals providing buy and sell entries. Plutus entries take into consideration this Abnormal Behavior, the wave swings structure and price location.
Example Trades
Wyckoff Up- rust formation strategy- Reading the chart
1. We have broken a Resistance Level with a Fast Speed Index of 0.7F
2. Abnormal Speed Index of 2.3 provides the alert for abnormal Speed Index behavior. There is not a high Speed Index like that in all the up wave swings which automatic makes it abnormal Supply Demand imbalance.
3. WU - Wyckoff Up-trust plutus signal has been created, which means Short.
4. PRS - Plutus Reversal Short also created at the same location which makes the Short even a higher probability trade
5. Entry: We enter Short on the close of the bar
Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
1. We are in a Ranging environment
2. PS and PRS are invalid signals because according to the rules mentioned previously we do not trade any signals created within the range when the price does not break the range.
3. PRL - Plutus Reversal Long which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the High Speed Index (the 2.2) is a valid signal since price breaks the top of the range
4. Entry Long after breaking the top of the range
PRL after Support hit Strategy and Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
In this we have two different strategies available. The first one is Plutus Reversal Long signal after hitting support and the second on an Exit from Range.
The Story:
1. We have hit support (double bottom)
2. Speed Index 2.2 at the bottom is on the High side, not too extreme but on the high side.
3. A PRL long signal is generated which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the 2.2 Speed Index
4. Entry Long on the close of the bar- This trade has provided 482 pips of profit
5. Price goes into Range
6. Classic textbook strategy Exit from Range with Plutus. We get a PL Plutus Long signal which means price will follow the directions of the high Speed Index wave and in this case is the 2.7 wave
7. Entry Long after the range break. This trade provided 384 pips up to now.
Volume FootprintThe Volume Footprint chart is analyzing volume data from inside the candle and split them into Up and Down Volume in the same way as Volume Profile analyzes the volume data from a fragment of the chart.
The visualization is little different:
Down Volume (sells) are shown on the left side of a candle.
Up Volume (Buys) are shown on the right side of a candle.
User can pick data precision used by Volume Footprint. We recomend to use the highest possible precision.
Unfortunatelly Trading View has many limitations.
If after adding script nothing is visible with error: "'The study references too many candles in history'" you need to use lower precision - It can be changed in script settings.
This script is a part of a toolkit called "Volume Footprint", containing few tools:
Volume Footprint - Scripts drawing Volume Footprint chart.
Volume Footprint Statistics - Script showing table with basic statistics about Up and Down volume inside the candles.
Volume Delta In Candle - Chart showing history of delta (difference between Up and Down volume) changes inside the current candle.
Volume Cumulative Delta - Chart showing history of cumulative delta (sum of difference between Up and Down volume in trading period equal to chart interval).
This script can be used by any user. You do not need to have PRO or PREMIUM account to use it.
Script with limited access, contact author to get authorization
User Interface:
Script is grouping Up and Down Volume into slots based on price. Slots height is controled by "Slot height" param in settings.
On left side of a candle Down Volume is shown and on right side Up Volume is shown.
Before Down Volume may appear imbalance symbols:
⠀↓ - 3 times
⠀↡ - 5 times
⠀⇊ - 10 times
After Up Volume may appear imbalance symbols:
⠀↑ - 3 time
⠀↟ - 5 times
⠀⇈ - 10 times
Above the candle we can show some basic statistics of that candle:
"V:" - Row with volume statistics:
⠀∑ - Total volume,
⠀Δ - Difference between Up and Down Volume.
⠀min Δ - Smallest difference between Up and Down Volume in that candle
⠀max Δ - Biggest difference between Up and Down Volume in that candle
Script settings:
Slot height = 10^ - Price slot height on the chart:
⠀ 0 - 1$
⠀ 1 - 10$
⠀ 2 - 100$
⠀ 3 - 1000$
⠀-1 - 0.1$
⠀-2 - 0.01$
⠀-3 - 0.001$
Data precision - One of 6 levels of data precision: ▉▇▆▅▃▁, where ▉ means the highest precision and ▁ the lowest available precision. On 15 minute chart highest precision should be available, but on 1D it will probably hit TradingView limitations and script will not be even launched by the platform with error: "'The study references too many candles in history'". The general recommendation is to use the highest available precision for a given instrument and interval.
Precise warnings - Option to show precise warnings about missing volume in candle footprint (warning connected with one of TradingView limitations).
Draw candles - Option of drawing candles fiting to volume labels and 2 fields for picking colors of up and down candles. The general recommendation is to hide chart candles and turn on this option.
Show stats - Showing stats over the candle: ∑, Δ, min Δ, max Δ. You can use 'Volume Footprint Statistics' script instead
Font size - Used to draw all the data over the chart: T(iny), S(mall), N(ormal), L(arge)
Centered - If checked volume labels are stick to candle (centered).
Color values - Option to draw labels with use of Up or Down color, depending which value (Volume Up or Volume Down) is bigger in the price slot.
Filter - Filtering option than allow hinding labels with small values:
⠀0 - filter turned off.
⠀1-5 - filtering with transparency
⠀6-10 - Filtering with hiding values.
Show zeros - It can show zeros or leave empty places
Highlight biggest slot - Option to highlight price slot with biggest volume in the candle.
Imbalances - Showing imbalance symbols before Down or after Up Volume
Only over average - Showing imbalances symbols only for volume not smaller than the average value.
Value area - Option to identify group of slots with biggest volume in each candle. A group is a smallest set of neighboring slots that have at least n(param) % of candle volume .
⠀ Value Area Minimal Volume (%) - Value area size as % of candle volume .
⠀ Color - Color of the Value area.
⠀ Show borders - Showing border lines of value areas over the candle.
⠀ Track - Option to track value areas. Potencial Support-Resistance zones.
⠀ Only active - Hide areas that were crossed by the price.
Show Values - Show volume value over tracked value areas.
Troubleshooting:
In case of any problems, send error details to the author of the script.
Known issues:
"The study references too many candles in history" - Change "Data precision" settings to some lower value.
OutsiderEdge - Adaptive Node Efficiency Function (ANEF)Overview - What is ANEF?
ANEF is a zero-centered oscillator that blends price efficiency, effective volume around VWAP (node proximity), order-flow imbalance (uptick/downtick proxy), and returns volatility into a single, normalized score. The goal is to help you spot efficient breakouts and inefficient mean-reversions in a way that’s transparent, systematic, and easy to align with your own analysis.
Users can combine ANEF’s components to build rules such as: “ Only consider short breakout signals when trend context is bearish and the ANEF score pushes into the Efficient Zone ,” or “ Look for mean-reversion setups when the ANEF score sinks into the Inefficient Zone while trend context remains bullish. ”
While ANEF can stand on its own, it also works well as a secondary confirmation layer to a user’s primary process (volume profile, price action, S/R, market structure, or your preferred overlays).
🔹 FEATURES
Below is each ANEF component/feature in the order that typically leads to the most confluence.
ANEF Core (Normalized Score)
Combines a price change term with effective volume near VWAP and order-flow imbalance, scaled by volatility and normalized into a zero-centered oscillator.
Read it like a pressure gauge: high positive values = efficient upside impulse risk; deep negative values = inefficient pressure that often reverts.
Efficient & Inefficient Zones (Thresholds)
Two user-set levels (default ≥ +4.6 and ≤ −4.6) to quickly see when ANEF pushes into efficient breakout territory (top zone) or inefficient territory (bottom zone).
Thresholds are not overbought/oversold; they’re contextual “efficiency bands.”
2nd-Signal Confirmation (Optional)
An opt-in rule to ignore the first signal of a type and only print the second occurrence within X bars (default 6).
Reduces one-off noise without repainting or lookahead.
Trend Context (EMA-based Wave, Optional)
A lightweight EMA context that lets you filter signals (e.g., only show ▼ in downtrend, only show ▲ in uptrend).
The context is plotted as a sub-pane wave centered around zero so it doesn’t fight for price-panel space.
Clean Alerts (Raw & Confirmed)
Raw alerts fire at zone interactions.
Confirmed alerts respect the 2nd-signal rule and (optionally) the trend filter.
Price-Panel Markers (through force_overlay)
Even with the oscillator in a separate pane, ANEF can print mini markers on the main chart.
Useful to correlate impulses/reversions with structure, S/R, or higher-TF levels.
🔹 USAGE
In the examples below, you see chart snapshot with five labeled points of (in)efficiency breakouts.
ICMARKETS:UK100
Point 1 — Efficient Downside Breakout (▼)
ANEF surges into the Efficient Zone, indicating downside momentum that’s aligned with node volume/imbalance and volatility. Typical use: trend-following continuation, takeprofit on existing long or tightening risk on existing shorts (invalidations above recent structure).
Point 2 — Inefficient Upside Reversion (▲)
First rebound after the selloff with ANEF deep in the Inefficient Zone. Not an ideal long entry on its own, but a good management cue: take partial profits on shorts or tighten stops as an early confirmation that the drop may be exhausting.
Point 3, 4 and 5 — Inefficient Upside Reversion (▲)
Another 3x ▲ appears as price forms a higher low and ANEF prints a less extreme negative reading. With the “second-signal within X bars” option enabled, this becomes a more credible mean-reversion attempt. Possible long entries or takeprofits on existing shorts.
Trading involves substantial risk. This tool is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and risk management.
🔹 NAVIGATING MARKET CONDITIONS
Trending phases:
Expect more time in or near the zones in the trend direction.
Consider allowing only trend-aligned signals (filter ON) and using counter zone exits for trail/partials rather than counter-trend trades.
Ranging phases:
Expect frequent dips and surges into the (In)efficient Zones and back.
Counter-moves (▲ in range downs, ▼ in range ups) can be productive with tight invalidation and the 2nd-signal rule to reduce noise.
Regime shifts:
Watch for repeated failures of one side’s signals plus cross-pane confluence (e.g., context flips while ANEF re-anchors around zero).
That sequence often marks transitions where your rules should adapt (e.g., disable the trend filter temporarily or widen your 2nd-signal window).
🔹 SETTINGS SUMMARY
ANEF Core: lengthPrice, lengthVol, lengthVolat, imbalanceCap
Zones: Efficient (≥), Inefficient (≤)
Confirmation: Require 2nd signal, Lookahead bars
Trend Filter: Enable, EMA length, optional smoothing & “only show ▲/▼ with trend”
Chart Markers: Also show on main chart (force_overlay)
Alerts: Raw vs Confirmed (pick what suits your workflow)
🔹 GOOD PRACTICES
Treat signals as context cues, not as mechanical buy/sell calls. You can align ANEF with structure (S/R, HTF bias, LVN, HVN or POC) and risk management (partials on zone exit, invalidation beyond recent swing). Start with defaults; tweak parameters to match your market/TF.
🔹 LIMITATIONS / DISCLAIMER
ANEF does not use lookahead and does not repaint, but no indicator guarantees outcomes.
Thresholds are heuristics; markets can remain efficient/inefficient longer than expected.
Use appropriate position sizing and independent validation.

Rapid Cumulative Delta Proxy (Close vs Close)Rapid Cumulative Delta Proxy (Close vs Close)
1. Summary
This indicator provides a powerful proxy for Cumulative Delta , offering insight into the buying and selling pressure within each candle without requiring access to specialized tick data. It works by analyzing a Lower Timeframe (LTF) of your choice and accumulating the volume based on simple price changes, then displaying the results in a clean, customizable "footprint-style" table on your main chart.
This tool is designed for traders who want to understand the underlying order flow dynamics and see whether buyers or sellers were more aggressive during the formation of a candle.
2. Key Features
Cumulative Delta Proxy: Calculates delta by comparing the close of each LTF bar to the previous one, assigning volume to either buyers or sellers.
Lower Timeframe Analysis: Gives you the flexibility to choose any LTF (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute, or even seconds) to build your delta analysis, allowing for granular or broad views.
Historical "Footprint" Table: Displays data for the current, developing bar as well as a user-defined number of previous bars, allowing for immediate historical context.
Live Data Monitoring: The top row of the table always shows the real-time, developing values for the current bar.
Full Visual Customization: Provides extensive options to control the table's position, colors, and text styles to perfectly match your chart's theme.
3. Calculation Mechanism
The logic of this indicator is straightforward and transparent. For every single bar on your main (Higher Timeframe) chart, the script performs the following steps:
Data Collection: The script uses the request.security_lower_tf() function to gather all the close and volume data from the user-specified Lower Timeframe that falls within the current HTF bar.
Volume Allocation: It then iterates through each of these LTF bars to determine if it represented buying or selling pressure.
If an LTF bar's close is greater than the close of the previous LTF bar, its entire volume is added to a running total of Buy Volume.
If an LTF bar's close is less than the close of the previous LTF bar, its volume is added to a running total of Sell Volume.
If the closes are identical, the volume is considered neutral and is ignored.
Final Calculations: Once all the LTF bars have been processed, the final metrics for that single HTF bar are calculated:
Delta: This is the net difference between the accumulated volumes. The formula is:
Delta=TotalBuyVolume−TotalSellVolume
Imbalance %: This shows the percentage dominance of buyers or sellers relative to the total activity. The formula is:
Imbalance%= Delta / (TotalBuyVolume+TotalSellVolume) ×100
This entire process repeats for each bar on your chart, with the results stored and displayed in the historical table.
4. Settings Explained
Lower Timeframe: The most important setting. This is the timeframe the script will analyze to calculate delta. It must be a lower interval than your main chart's timeframe.
History Bar Count: Controls how many previous, closed bars of data are displayed in the table below the "Live" bar.
Table Visuals (Group):
Header Colors: Customize the text color for each column header (Buy, Sell, Delta, Imbalance).
Background Colors: Set the colors used for the conditional backgrounds on the Delta and Imbalance columns (Positive, Negative, and Neutral values).
Data Text Style: Control the color and size of all standard text in the table. Placed on one line for convenience.
Table Position: A dropdown menu to place the table in any of nine positions on your chart.
5. Trading Concepts & Examples
This is where the Delta Table truly shines. By comparing the delta data (the "Effort") with the candle on your chart (the "Result"), you can gain powerful insights.
A. Effort vs. Result Analysis
This concept helps you determine if the trading activity is actually succeeding in moving the price.
Confirmation:
High positive delta on a large green candle that closes strong. This confirms the buying pressure was effective and the trend is likely to continue.
High negative delta on a large red candle that closes weak. This confirms the selling pressure was effective.
Divergence (Sign of Reversal):
Absorption: You see very high positive delta, but the candle on the chart is small, with a long upper wick (a shooting star). This is a major warning sign. It means buyers exerted massive effort, but the result was poor because a large seller absorbed all their buying, preventing the price from rising. This often precedes a move down.
Exhaustion: You see very high negative delta, but the candle is small with a long lower wick (a hammer). This means sellers tried their best to push the price down but failed. Their effort was met with strong buying pressure, signaling selling exhaustion and a potential bottom.
B. Identifying Traps (Two-Bar Analysis)
Traps occur when a breakout or breakdown fails, catching traders on the wrong side of the market. The Delta Table makes these easy to spot.
Example of a Bull Trap:
The Bait (Bar 1): A strong green candle breaks above a key resistance level. You look at the table and see a strong positive delta, convincing traders to go long.
The Trap (Bar 2): The very next candle is a powerful red candle that closes back below the resistance level. Now, check the table for this candle—you will often see an equally strong or even stronger negative delta.
Interpretation: The initial breakout buyers are now "trapped." The aggressive negative delta on the second bar confirms that sellers have taken control, and the trapped longs will be forced to sell, fueling a sharper decline.
Example of a Bear Trap:
The Bait (Bar 1): A strong red candle breaks below a key support level, showing a strong negative delta in the table. Traders are convinced to go short.
The Trap (Bar 2): The next candle is a powerful green candle closing back above support, accompanied by a very strong positive delta.
Interpretation: The breakdown has failed. Aggressive buyers have stepped in, "trapping" the short-sellers who must now buy back their positions, adding fuel to the rally.
6. Important Notes
Repainting: This indicator does not repaint. Once a bar on your main chart closes, its calculated values in the historical table are fixed and will not change. The "Live" data row updates in real-time as the current bar forms, which is the intended and expected behavior.
1-Second Timeframe: The script allows for using second-based intervals (e.g., "1S"). Please be aware that access to second-based timeframes on TradingView requires a Premium subscription. If you do not have one, please use a minute-based interval (e.g., "1").
Historic Bars: The script can accommodate large range, does not have any max bar limit. Please be aware that large table will require heavy computing power.

Cnagda Liquidit Trading SystemCnagda Liquidit Trading System helps spot where price is likely to trap traders and reverse, then gives simple, actionable Level to entry, place SL, and take profits with confidence. It blends imbalance zones, trend bias, order blocks, liquidity pools, high-probability fake Signal, and context-aware candle patterns into one clean workflow.
🟩🟥 Imbalance boxes: “Crowd rushed, gaps left”
What it is: Green/red boxes mark fast, one-sided moves where price “skipped” orders—think FVG-like zones that often get revisited.
Why it helps: Price frequently pulls back to “fill” these zones, creating clean retest entries with logical stops.
⏩How to use:
Green box = potential demand retest; Red box = potential supply retest. Enter on pullback into box, not on first impulse. Put stop on far side of box and aim first targets at recent swing points.
↕️ Swing bias (HH/HL vs LH/LL): “Which way is the road?”
What it is: Higher-highs/higher-lows = up-bias; Lower-highs/lower-lows = down-bias. system plots Buy/Sell OB levels aligned with that bias.
Why it helps: Trading with the broader flow reduces “hero trades” against institutions. Bias gives clearer entries and cleaner drawdowns.
⏩How to use:
Up-bias: look for long on Buy OB retests. Down-bias: look for short on Sell OB retests. Wait for a small rejection/engulfing to confirm before triggering.
🧱Order blocks: “Where big players remember”
What it is: last opposite-colored candle before an impulsive move—these zones often hold memory and reaction. system plots these as Buy/Sell OB lines.
Why it helps: Many breakouts pull back to the origin. Good entries often happen on retest, not on the breakout chase.
⏩ How to use:
Let price return into the OB, show wick rejection, and decent volume. Enter with stop beyond OB; define risk-reward before entry.
📊Volume coloring: “How Volume is move?”
What it is: Bar color reflects relative volume; inside bars are black. The dashboard also shows Volume and “Volume vs Prev.”
Why it helps: Patterns without volume often fade; volume validates strength and intent of moves.
⏩ How to use:
Favor entries where imbalance/OB/liquidity-grab coincide with higher volume. If volume is weak, reduce size or skip.
🧲 BSL/SSL liquidity pools: “Fishing for stops”
What it is: Equal highs cluster stops above (BSL); equal lows cluster stops below (SSL). system plots these and highlights the nearest one (“magnet”).
Why it helps: Price often sweeps these pools to trigger stops before reversing. This is a prime trap-reversal location.
⏩ How to use:
Watch nearest BSL/SSL. If price wicks through and closes back inside, anticipate a reversal. Trade reaction, not first poke. When price closes beyond, consider that pool mitigated and move on.
🟢🔴 Advanced liquidity grab: “Catch fakeout”
What it is: Bullish grab = makes a new low beyond a prior low but closes back above it, with a long lower wick, small body, and higher volume. Bearish is mirror. Labeled automatically.
Why it helps: It exposes trap moves (stop hunts) and often precedes true direction.
⏩ How to use:
Best when it aligns with a nearby imbalance/OB and supportive volume. Enter on reversal candle break or on retest. Stop goes beyond sweep wick.
🧠 Smart candlestick patterns (only in right place)
What it is: Engulfing, Hammer, Shooting Star, Hanging Man, Doji (with high volume), Morning/Evening Star, Piercing—but marked “effective” only if context (swing/trend/location) agrees.
Why it helps: same pattern in the wrong place is noise; in the right place, it’s signal.
⏩ How to use:
Location first (BSL/SSL/OB/imbalance), then pattern. Treat pattern as trigger/confirmation—one fresh label shows to keep chart clean.
🧭 Dashboard: “Context in a glance”
⏩ Reversal Level: current swing anchor—expect turns or reactions nearby; great for alerts and planning.
⏩ Volume vs Prev + Volume: Strength meter for signal candle—higher adds conviction.
⏩ Nearest Pool: next “magnet” area—look for sweeps/rejections there.
🧩Step-by-step trading flow (with mindset)
⏩ Set bias: HH/HL = long bias, LH/LL = short bias. Counter-trend only on clean sweeps with strong confirmation.
⏩ Find magnet: Check Nearest Pool (BSL/SSL). Focus attention there; it saves screen time.
⏩ Wait for event: Look for a sweep/grab label, or sharp rejection at pool/OB/imbalance. Avoid FOMO.
⏩ Add confluence: Stack 2–3 of these—imbalance box, OB, contextual pattern, supportive volume.
⏩Plan entry: Bullish: trigger above reversal candle high or take retest of FVG/OB. Stop below sweep wick/zone. Target at least 1:1.5–1:2.
Bearish: mirror above.
⏩Manage smartly: Take partials, move to breakeven or trail thoughtfully. Don’t drag stops inside zone out of emotion.
🎛️ Parameter tuning (to reduce human error)
⏩ swingLen: Smaller = faster but noisier; larger = cleaner but slower. Backtest first, then go live.
⏩ Tolerance (ATR or percent): ATR tolerance adapts to volatility (good for fast markets and lower TFs). Start around 0.15–0.30. In calm markets, try percent 0.05–0.15%.
⏩ minBarsGap: Start with 3–5 so equal highs/lows are truly equal—reduces false pools.
❌Common mistakes → ✅ Better habits
⏩Chasing every breakout → Wait for sweep/rejection, then confirm.
⏩Ignoring volume → Validate strength; cut size or skip on weak volume.
⏩Losing history of pools → If reviewing/backtesting, keep mitigated pools visible (dashed/faded).
⏩Over-tight tolerance/too small swingLen → Increases false signals; backtest to find balance.
📝 checklist (before entry)
⏩ Is there a nearby BSL/SSL and did a sweep/grab happen there?
⏩ Is there a close imbalance/OB that price can retest?
⏩ Do we have an effective pattern plus supportive volume?
⏩Is the stop beyond the wick/zone and RR ≥ 1:1.5?

FVG Premium [no1x]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator provides a comprehensive toolkit for identifying, visualizing, and tracking Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across three distinct timeframes (current chart, a user-defined Medium Timeframe - MTF, and a user-defined High Timeframe - HTF). It is designed to offer traders enhanced insight into FVG dynamics through detailed state monitoring (formation, partial fill, full mitigation, midline touch), extensive visual customization for FVG representation, and a rich alert system for timely notifications on FVG-related events.
█ CONCEPTS
This indicator is built upon the core concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and their significance in price action analysis, offering a multi-layered approach to their detection and interpretation across different timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also known as an imbalance, represents a range in price delivery where one side of the market (buying or selling) was more aggressive, leaving an inefficiency or an "imbalance" in the price action. This concept is prominently featured within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies, where such gaps are often interpreted as footprints left by "smart money" due to rapid, forceful price movements. These methodologies suggest that price may later revisit these FVG zones to rebalance a prior inefficiency or to seek liquidity before continuing its path. These gaps are typically identified by a three-bar pattern:
Bullish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong upward move. The FVG is the space created between the high of the first candle (bottom of FVG) and the low of the third candle (top of FVG). This indicates a strong upward impulsive move.
Bearish FVG : This is a three-candle formation where the second candle shows a strong downward move. The FVG is the space created between the low of the first candle (top of FVG) and the high of the third candle (bottom of FVG). This indicates a strong downward impulsive move.
FVGs are often watched by traders as potential areas where price might return to "rebalance" or find support/resistance.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Analysis
The indicator extends FVG detection beyond the current chart's timeframe (Low Timeframe - LTF) to two higher user-defined timeframes: Medium Timeframe (MTF) and High Timeframe (HTF). This allows traders to:
Identify FVGs that might be significant on a broader market structure.
Observe how FVGs from different timeframes align or interact.
Gain a more comprehensive perspective on potential support and resistance zones.
FVG State and Lifecycle Management
The indicator actively tracks the lifecycle of each detected FVG:
Formation : The initial identification of an FVG.
Partial Fill (Entry) : When price enters but does not completely pass through the FVG. The indicator updates the "current" top/bottom of the FVG to reflect the filled portion.
Midline (Equilibrium) Touch : When price touches the 50% level of the FVG.
Full Mitigation : When price completely trades through the FVG, effectively "filling" or "rebalancing" the gap. The indicator records the mitigation time.
This state tracking is crucial for understanding how price interacts with these zones.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
FVGs can be optionally classified as "Large FVGs" (LV) if their size (top to bottom range) exceeds a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) for that FVG's timeframe. This helps distinguish FVGs that are significantly larger relative to recent volatility.
Visual Customization and Information Delivery
A key concept is providing extensive control over how FVGs are displayed. This control is achieved through a centralized set of visual parameters within the indicator, allowing users to configure numerous aspects (colors, line styles, visibility of boxes, midlines, mitigation lines, labels, etc.) for each timeframe. Additionally, an on-chart information panel summarizes the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVG levels for each active timeframe, providing a quick glance at key price points.
█ FEATURES
This indicator offers a rich set of features designed to provide a highly customizable and comprehensive Fair Value Gap (FVG) analysis experience. Users can tailor the FVG detection, visual representation, and alerting mechanisms across three distinct timeframes: the current chart (Low Timeframe - LTF), a user-defined Medium Timeframe (MTF), and a user-defined High Timeframe (HTF).
Multi-Timeframe FVG Detection and Display
The core strength of this indicator lies in its ability to identify and display FVGs from not only the current chart's timeframe (LTF) but also from two higher, user-selectable timeframes (MTF and HTF).
Timeframe Selection: Users can specify the exact MTF (e.g., "60", "240") and HTF (e.g., "D", "W") through dedicated inputs in the "MTF (Medium Timeframe)" and "HTF (High Timeframe)" settings groups. The visibility of FVGs from these higher timeframes can be toggled independently using the "Show MTF FVGs" and "Show HTF FVGs" checkboxes.
Consistent Detection Logic: The FVG detection logic, based on the classic three-bar imbalance pattern detailed in the 'Concepts' section, is applied consistently across all selected timeframes (LTF, MTF, HTF)
Timeframe-Specific Visuals: Each timeframe's FVGs (LTF, MTF, HTF) can be customized with unique colors for bullish/bearish states and their mitigated counterparts. This allows for easy visual differentiation of FVGs originating from different market perspectives.
Comprehensive FVG Visualization Options
The indicator provides extensive control over how FVGs are visually represented on the chart for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF).
FVG Boxes:
Visibility: Main FVG boxes can be shown or hidden per timeframe using the "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF), "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) inputs.
Color Customization: Colors for bullish, bearish, active, and mitigated FVG boxes (including Large FVGs, if classified) are fully customizable for each timeframe.
Box Extension & Length: FVG boxes can either be extended to the right indefinitely ("Extend Boxes Right") or set to a fixed length in bars ("Short Box Length" or "Box Length" equivalent inputs).
Box Labels: Optional labels can display the FVG's timeframe and fill percentage on the box. These labels are configurable for all timeframes (LTF, MTF, and HTF). Please note: If FVGs are positioned very close to each other on the chart, their respective labels may overlap. This can potentially lead to visual clutter, and it is a known behavior in the current version of the indicator.
Box Borders: Visibility, width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and color of FVG box borders are customizable per timeframe.
Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ):
Visibility: The 50% level (midline or EQ) of FVGs can be shown or hidden for each timeframe.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the midline are customizable per timeframe. The indicator tracks if this midline has been touched by price.
Mitigation Lines:
Visibility: Mitigation lines (representing the FVG's opening level that needs to be breached for full mitigation) can be shown or hidden for each timeframe. If shown, these lines are always extended to the right.
Style Customization: Width, style, and color of the mitigation line are customizable per timeframe.
Mitigation Line Labels: Optional price labels can be displayed on mitigation lines, with a customizable horizontal bar offset for positioning. For optimal label placement, the following horizontal bar offsets are recommended: 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF.
Persistence After Mitigation: Users can choose to keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated, with a distinct color for such lines. Importantly, this option is only effective if the general setting 'Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs' is disabled, as otherwise, the entire FVG and its lines will be removed upon mitigation.
FVG State Management and Behavior
The indicator tracks and visually responds to changes in FVG states.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: This option, typically found in the indicator's general settings, allows users to automatically remove all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once price has fully mitigated it. This helps maintain chart clarity by focusing on active FVGs.
Partial Fill Visualization: When price enters an FVG, the indicator offers a dynamic visual representation: the portion of the FVG that has been filled is shown as a "mitigated box" (typically with a distinct color), while the original FVG box shrinks to clearly highlight the remaining, unfilled portion. This two-part display provides an immediate visual cue about how much of the FVG's imbalance has been addressed and what potential remains within the gap.
Visual Filtering by ATR Proximity: To help users focus on the most relevant price action, FVGs can be dynamically hidden if they are located further from the current price than a user-defined multiple of the Average True Range (ATR). This behavior is controlled by the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" input; setting this to zero disables the filter entirely, ensuring all detected FVGs remain visible regardless of their proximity to price.
Alternative Usage Example: Mitigation Lines as Key Support/Resistance Levels
For traders preferring a minimalist chart focused on key Fair Value Gap (FVG) levels, the indicator's visualization settings can be customized to display only FVG mitigation lines. This approach leverages these lines as potential support and resistance zones, reflecting areas where price might revisit to address imbalances.
To configure this view:
Disable FVG Boxes: Turn off "Show FVG Boxes" (for LTF) or "Show Boxes" (for MTF/HTF) for the desired timeframes.
Hide Midlines: Disable the visibility of the 50% FVG Midlines (Equilibrium/EQ).
Ensure Mitigation Lines are Visible: Keep "Mitigation Lines" enabled.
Retain All Mitigation Lines:
Disable the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option in the general settings.
Enable the feature to "keep mitigation lines visible even after an FVG is fully mitigated". This ensures lines from all FVGs (active or fully mitigated) remain on the chart, which is only effective if "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" is disabled.
This setup offers:
A Decluttered Chart: Focuses solely on the FVG opening levels.
Precise S/R Zones: Treats mitigation lines as specific points for potential price reactions.
Historical Level Analysis: Includes lines from past, fully mitigated FVGs for a comprehensive view of significant price levels.
For enhanced usability with this focused view, consider these optional additions:
The on-chart Information Panel can be activated to display a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Mitigation Line Labels can also be activated for clear price level identification. A customizable horizontal bar offset is available for positioning these labels; for example, offsets of 4 for LTF, 8 for MTF, and 12 for HTF can be effective.
FVG Classification (Large FVG)
This feature allows for distinguishing FVGs based on their size relative to market volatility.
Enable Classification: Users can enable "Classify FVG (Large FVG)" to identify FVGs that are significantly larger than average.
ATR-Based Threshold: An FVG is classified as "Large" if its height (price range) is greater than or equal to the Average True Range (ATR) of its timeframe multiplied by a user-defined "Large FVG Threshold (ATR Multiple)". The ATR period for this calculation is also configurable.
Dedicated Colors: Large FVGs (both bullish/bearish and active/mitigated) can be assigned unique colors, making them easily distinguishable on the chart.
Panel Icon: Large FVGs are marked with a special icon in the Info Panel.
Information Panel
An on-chart panel provides a quick summary of the nearest unmitigated FVG levels.
Visibility and Position: The panel can be shown/hidden and positioned in any of the nine standard locations on the chart (e.g., Top Right, Middle Center).
Content: It displays the price levels of the nearest unmitigated bullish and bearish FVGs for LTF, MTF (if active), and HTF (if active). It also indicates if these nearest FVGs are Large FVGs (if classification is enabled) using a selectable icon.
Styling: Text size, border color, header background/text colors, default text color, and "N/A" cell background color are customizable.
Highlighting: Background and text colors for the cells displaying the overall nearest bullish and bearish FVG levels (across all active timeframes) can be customized to draw attention to the most proximate FVG.
Comprehensive Alert System
The indicator offers a granular alert system for various FVG-related events, configurable for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF) independently. Users can enable alerts for:
New FVG Formation: Separate alerts for new bullish and new bearish FVG formations.
FVG Entry/Partial Fill: Separate alerts for price entering a bullish FVG or a bearish FVG.
FVG Full Mitigation: Separate alerts for full mitigation of bullish and bearish FVGs.
FVG Midline (EQ) Touch: Separate alerts for price touching the midline of a bullish or bearish FVG.
Alert messages are detailed, providing information such as the timeframe, FVG type (bull/bear, Large FVG), relevant price levels, and timestamps.
█ NOTES
This section provides additional information regarding the indicator's usage, performance considerations, and potential interactions with the TradingView platform. Understanding these points can help users optimize their experience and troubleshoot effectively.
Performance and Resource Management
Maximum FVGs to Track : The "Max FVGs to Track" input (defaulting to 25) limits the number of FVG objects processed for each category (e.g., LTF Bullish, MTF Bearish). Increasing this value significantly can impact performance due to more objects being iterated over and potentially drawn, especially when multiple timeframes are active.
Drawing Object Limits : To manage performance, this script sets its own internal limits on the number of drawing objects it displays. While it allows for up to approximately 500 lines (max_lines_count=500) and 500 labels (max_labels_count=500), the number of FVG boxes is deliberately restricted to a maximum of 150 (max_boxes_count=150). This specific limit for boxes is a key performance consideration: displaying too many boxes can significantly slow down the indicator, and a very high number is often not essential for analysis. Enabling all visual elements for many FVGs across all three timeframes can cause the indicator to reach these internal limits, especially the stricter box limit
Optimization Strategies : To help you manage performance, reduce visual clutter, and avoid exceeding drawing limits when using this indicator, I recommend the following strategies:
Maintain or Lower FVG Tracking Count: The "Max FVGs to Track" input defaults to 25. I find this value generally sufficient for effective analysis and balanced performance. You can keep this default or consider reducing it further if you experience performance issues or prefer a less dense FVG display.
Utilize Proximity Filtering: I suggest activating the "Filter Band Width (ATR Multiple)" option (found under "General Settings") to display only those FVGs closer to the current price. From my experience, a value of 5 for the ATR multiple often provides a good starting point for balanced performance, but you should feel free to adjust this based on market volatility and your specific trading needs.
Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs: I strongly recommend enabling the "Hide Fully Mitigated FVGs" option. This setting automatically removes all visual elements of an FVG from the chart once it has been fully mitigated by price. Doing so significantly reduces the number of active drawing objects, lessens computational load, and helps maintain chart clarity by focusing only on active, relevant FVGs.
Disable FVG Display for Unused Timeframes: If you are not actively monitoring certain higher timeframes (MTF or HTF) for FVG analysis, I advise disabling their display by unchecking "Show MTF FVGs" or "Show HTF FVGs" respectively. This can provide a significant performance boost.
Simplify Visual Elements: For active FVGs, consider hiding less critical visual elements if they are not essential for your specific analysis. This could include box labels, borders, or even entire FVG boxes if, for example, only the mitigation lines are of interest for a particular timeframe.
Settings Changes and Platform Limits : This indicator is comprehensive and involves numerous calculations and drawings. When multiple settings are changed rapidly in quick succession, it is possible, on occasion, for TradingView to issue a "Runtime error: modify_study_limit_exceeding" or similar. This can cause the indicator to temporarily stop updating or display errors.
Recommended Approach : When adjusting settings, it is advisable to wait a brief moment (a few seconds) after each significant change. This allows the indicator to reprocess and update on the chart before another change is made
Error Recovery : Should such a runtime error occur, making a minor, different adjustment in the settings (e.g., toggling a checkbox off and then on again) and waiting briefly will typically allow the indicator to recover and resume correct operation. This behavior is related to platform limitations when handling complex scripts with many inputs and drawing objects.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF/HTF) Data and Behavior
HTF FVG Confirmation is Essential: : For an FVG from a higher timeframe (MTF or HTF) to be identified and displayed on your current chart (LTF), the three-bar pattern forming the FVG on that higher timeframe must consist of fully closed bars. The indicator does not draw speculative FVGs based on incomplete/forming bars from higher timeframes.
Data Retrieval and LTF Processing: The indicator may use techniques like lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on for timely data retrieval from higher timeframes. However, the actual detection of an FVG occurs after all its constituent bars on the HTF have closed.
Appearance Timing on LTF (1 LTF Candle Delay): As a natural consequence of this, an FVG that is confirmed on an HTF (i.e., its third bar closes) will typically become visible on your LTF chart one LTF bar after its confirmation on the HTF.
Example: Assume an FVG forms on a 30-minute chart at 15:30 (i.e., with the close of the 30-minute bar that covers the 15:00-15:30 period). If you are monitoring this FVG on a 15-minute chart, the indicator will detect this newly formed 30-minute FVG while processing the data for the 15-minute bar that starts at 15:30 and closes at 15:45. Therefore, the 30-minute FVG will become visible on your 15-minute chart at the earliest by 15:45 (i.e., with the close of that relevant 15-minute LTF candle). This means the HTF FVG is reflected on the LTF chart with a delay equivalent to one LTF candle.
FVG Detection and Display Logic
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the current chart timeframe (LTF) are detected based on barstate.isconfirmed. This means the three-bar pattern must be complete with closed bars before an FVG is identified. This confirmation method prevents FVGs from being prematurely identified on the forming bar.
Alerts
Alert Setup : To receive alerts from this indicator, you must first ensure you have enabled the specific alert conditions you are interested in within the indicator's own settings (see 'Comprehensive Alert System' under the 'FEATURES' section). Once configured, open TradingView's 'Create Alert' dialog. In the 'Condition' tab, select this indicator's name, and crucially, choose the 'Any alert() function call' option from the dropdown list. This setup allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on the precise event conditions you have activated in its settings
Alert Frequency : Alerts are designed to trigger once per bar close (alert.freq_once_per_bar_close) for the specific event.
User Interface (UI) Tips
Settings Group Icons: In the indicator settings menu, timeframe-specific groups are marked with star icons for easier navigation: 🌟 for LTF (Current Chart Timeframe), 🌟🌟 for MTF (Medium Timeframe), and 🌟🌟🌟 for HTF (High Timeframe).
Dependent Inputs: Some input settings are dependent on others being enabled. These dependencies are visually indicated in the settings menu using symbols like "↳" (dependent setting on the next line), "⟷" (mutually exclusive inline options), or "➜" (directly dependent inline option).
Settings Layout Overview: The indicator settings are organized into logical groups for ease of use. Key global display controls – such as toggles for MTF FVGs, HTF FVGs (along with their respective timeframe selectors), and the Information Panel – are conveniently located at the very top within the '⚙️ General Settings' group. This placement allows for quick access to frequently adjusted settings. Other sections provide detailed customization options for each timeframe (LTF, MTF, HTF), specific FVG components, and alert configurations.
█ FOR Pine Script® CODERS
This section provides a high-level overview of the FVG Premium indicator's internal architecture, data flow, and the interaction between its various library components. It is intended for Pine Script™ programmers who wish to understand the indicator's design, potentially extend its functionality, or learn from its structure.
System Architecture and Modular Design
The indicator is architected moduarly, leveraging several custom libraries to separate concerns and enhance code organization and reusability. Each library has a distinct responsibility:
FvgTypes: Serves as the foundational data definition layer. It defines core User-Defined Types (UDTs) like fvgObject (for storing all attributes of an FVG) and drawSettings (for visual configurations), along with enumerations like tfType.
CommonUtils: Provides utility functions for common tasks like mapping user string inputs (e.g., "Dashed" for line style) to their corresponding Pine Script™ constants (e.g., line.style_dashed) and formatting timeframe strings for display.
FvgCalculations: Contains the core logic for FVG detection (both LTF and MTF/HTF via requestMultiTFBarData), FVG classification (Large FVGs based on ATR), and checking FVG interactions with price (mitigation, partial fill).
FvgObject: Implements an object-oriented approach by attaching methods to the fvgObject UDT. These methods manage the entire visual lifecycle of an FVG on the chart, including drawing, updating based on state changes (e.g., mitigation), and deleting drawing objects. It's responsible for applying the visual configurations defined in drawSettings.
FvgPanel: Manages the creation and dynamic updates of the on-chart information panel, which displays key FVG levels.
The main indicator script acts as the orchestrator, initializing these libraries, managing user inputs, processing data flow between libraries, and handling the main event loop (bar updates) for FVG state management and alerts.
Core Data Flow and FVG Lifecycle Management
The general data flow and FVG lifecycle can be summarized as follows:
Input Processing: User inputs from the "Settings" dialog are read by the main indicator script. Visual style inputs (colors, line styles, etc.) are consolidated into a types.drawSettings object (defined in FvgTypes). Other inputs (timeframes, filter settings, alert toggles) control the behavior of different modules. CommonUtils assists in mapping some string inputs to Pine constants.
FVG Detection:
For the current chart timeframe (LTF), FvgCalculations.detectFvg() identifies potential FVGs based on bar patterns.
For MTF/HTF, the main indicator script calls FvgCalculations.requestMultiTFBarData() to fetch necessary bar data from higher timeframes, then FvgCalculations.detectMultiTFFvg() identifies FVGs.
Newly detected FVGs are instantiated as types.fvgObject and stored in arrays within the main script. These objects also undergo classification (e.g., Large FVG) by FvgCalculations.
State Update & Interaction: On each bar, the main indicator script iterates through active FVG objects to manage their state based on price interaction:
Initially, the main script calls FvgCalculations.fvgInteractionCheck() to efficiently determine if the current bar's price might be interacting with a given FVG.
If a potential interaction is flagged, the main script then invokes methods directly on the fvgObject instance (e.g., updateMitigation(), updatePartialFill(), checkMidlineTouch(), which are part of FvgObject).
These fvgObject methods are responsible for the detailed condition checking and the actual modification of the FVG's state. For instance, the updateMitigation() and updatePartialFill() methods internally utilize specific helper functions from FvgCalculations (like checkMitigation() and checkPartialMitigation()) to confirm the precise nature of the interaction before updating the fvgObject’s state fields (such as isMitigated, currentTop, currentBottom, or isMidlineTouched).
Visual Rendering:
The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method is called for each fvgObject. This method is central to drawing management; it creates, updates, or deletes chart drawings (boxes, lines, labels) based on the FVG's current state, its prev_* (previous bar state) fields for optimization, and the visual settings passed via the drawSettings object.
Information Panel Update: The main indicator script determines the nearest FVG levels, populates a panelData object (defined in FvgPanelLib), and calls FvgPanel.updatePanel() to refresh the on-chart display.
Alert Generation: Based on the updated FVG states and user-enabled alert settings, the main indicator script constructs and triggers alerts using Pine Script's alert() function."
Key Design Considerations
UDT-Centric Design: The fvgObject UDT is pivotal, acting as a stateful container for all information related to a single FVG. Most operations revolve around creating, updating, or querying these objects.
State Management: To optimize drawing updates and manage FVG lifecycles, fvgObject instances store their previous bar's state (e.g., prevIsVisible, prevCurrentTop). The FvgObject.updateDrawings() method uses this to determine if a redraw is necessary, minimizing redundant drawing calls.
Settings Object: A drawSettings object is populated once (or when inputs change) and passed to drawing functions. This avoids repeatedly reading numerous input() values on every bar or within loops, improving performance.
Dynamic Arrays for FVG Storage: Arrays are used to store collections of fvgObject instances, allowing for dynamic management (adding new FVGs, iterating for updates).
Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG)Overview
The Time-Based Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with Inversions (iFVG) (ICT/SMT) indicator is a specialized tool designed for traders using Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodologies. Inspired by LuxAlgo's Fair Value Gap indicator, this script introduces significant enhancements by integrating ICT principles, focusing on precise time-based FVG detection, inversion tracking, and retest signals tailored for institutional trading strategies. Unlike LuxAlgo’s general FVG approach, this indicator filters FVGs within customizable 10-minute windows aligned with ICT’s macro timeframes and incorporates ICT-specific concepts like mitigation, liquidity grabs, and session-based gap prioritization.
This tool is optimized for 1–5 minute charts, though probably best for 1 minute charts, identifying bullish and bearish FVGs, tracking their mitigation into inverted FVGs (iFVGs) as key support/resistance zones, and generating retest signals with customizable “Close” or “Wick” confirmation. Features like ATR-based filtering, optional FVG labels, mitigation removal, and session-specific FVG detection (e.g., first FVG in AM/PM sessions) make it a powerful tool for ICT traders.
Originality and Improvements
While inspired by LuxAlgo’s FVG indicator (credit to LuxAlgo for their foundational work), this script significantly extends the original concept by:
1. Time-Based FVG Detection: Unlike LuxAlgo’s continuous FVG identification, this script filters FVGs within user-defined 10-minute windows each hour (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.), aligning with ICT’s emphasis on specific periods of institutional activity, such as hourly opens/closes or kill zones (e.g., New York 7:00–11:00 AM EST). This ensures FVGs are relevant to high-probability ICT setups.
2. Session-Specific First FVG Option: A unique feature allows traders to display only the first FVG in ICT-defined AM (9:30–10:00 AM EST) or PM (1:30–2:00 PM EST) sessions, reflecting ICT’s focus on initial market imbalances during key liquidity events.
3. ICT-Driven Mitigation and Inversion Logic: The script tracks FVG mitigation (when price closes through a gap) and converts mitigated FVGs into iFVGs, which serve as ICT-style support/resistance zones. This aligns with ICT’s view that mitigated gaps become critical reversal points, unlike LuxAlgo’s simpler gap display.
4. Customizable Retest Signals: Retest signals for iFVGs are configurable for “Close” (conservative, requiring candle body confirmation) or “Wick” (faster, using highs/lows), catering to ICT traders’ need for precise entry timing during liquidity grabs or Judas swings.
5. ATR Filtering and Mitigation Removal: An optional ATR filter ensures only significant FVGs are displayed, reducing noise, while mitigation removal declutters the chart by removing filled gaps, aligning with ICT’s principle that mitigated gaps lose relevance unless inverted.
6. Timezone and Timeframe Safeguards: A timezone offset setting aligns FVG detection with EST for ICT’s New York-centric strategies, and a timeframe warning alerts users to avoid ≥1-hour charts, ensuring accuracy in time-based filtering.
These enhancements make the script a distinct tool that builds on LuxAlgo’s foundation while offering ICT traders a tailored, high-precision solution.
How It Works
FVG Detection
FVGs are identified when a candle’s low is higher than the high of two candles prior (bullish FVG) or a candle’s high is lower than the low of two candles prior (bearish FVG). Detection is restricted to:
• User-selected 10-minute windows (e.g., :00–:10, :50–:60) to capture ICT-relevant periods like hourly transitions.
• AM/PM session first FVGs (if enabled), focusing on 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST for key market opens.
An optional ATR filter (default: 0.25× ATR) ensures only gaps larger than the threshold are displayed, prioritizing significant imbalances.
Mitigation and Inversion
When price closes through an FVG (e.g., below a bullish FVG’s bottom), the FVG is mitigated and becomes an iFVG, plotted as a support/resistance zone. iFVGs are critical in ICT for identifying reversal points where institutional orders accumulate.
Retest Signals
The script generates signals when price retests an iFVG:
• Close: Triggers when the candle body confirms the retest (conservative, lower noise).
• Wick: Triggers when the candle’s high/low touches the iFVG (faster, higher sensitivity). Signals are visualized with triangular markers (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish) and can trigger alerts.
Visualization
• FVGs: Displayed as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish) with optional “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels.
• iFVGs: Shown as extended boxes with dashed midlines, limited to the user-defined number of recent zones (default: 5).
• Mitigation Removal: Mitigated FVGs/iFVGs are removed (if enabled) to keep the chart clean.
How to Use
Recommended Settings
• Timeframe: Use 1–5 minute charts for precision, avoiding ≥1-hour timeframes (a warning label appears if misconfigured).
• Time Windows: Enable :00–:10 and :50–:60 for hourly open/close FVGs, or use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option for AM/PM session focus.
• ATR Filter: Keep enabled (multiplier 0.25–0.5) for significant gaps; disable on 1-minute charts for more FVGs during volatility.
• Signal Preference: Use “Close” for conservative entries, “Wick” for aggressive setups.
• Timezone Offset: Set to -5 for EST (or -4 for EDT) to align with ICT’s New York session.
Trading Strategy
1. Macro Timeframes: Focus on New York (7:00–11:00 AM EST) or London (2:00–5:00 AM EST) kill zones for high institutional activity.
2. FVG Entries: Trade bullish FVGs as support in uptrends or bearish FVGs as resistance in downtrends, especially in :00–:10 or :50–:60 windows.
3. iFVG Retests: Enter on retest signals (▲/▼) during liquidity grabs or Judas swings, using “Close” for confirmation or “Wick” for speed.
4. Session FVGs: Use the “Show only 1st presented FVG” option to target the first gap in AM/PM sessions, often tied to ICT’s market maker algorithms.
5. Risk Management: Combine with ICT concepts like order blocks or breaker blocks for confluence, and set stops beyond FVG/iFVG boundaries.
Alerts
Set alerts for:
• “Bullish FVG Detected”/“Bearish FVG Detected”: New FVGs in selected windows.
• “Bullish Signal”/“Bearish Signal”: iFVG retest confirmations.
Settings Description
• Show Last (1–100, default: 5): Number of recent iFVGs to display. Lower values reduce clutter.
• Show only 1st presented FVG : Limits FVGs to the first in 9:30–10:00 AM or 1:30–2:00 PM EST sessions (overrides time window checkboxes).
• Time Window Checkboxes: Enable/disable FVG detection in 10-minute windows (:00–:10, :10–:20, etc.). All enabled by default.
• Signal Preference: “Close” (default) or “Wick” for iFVG retest signals.
• Use ATR Filter: Enables ATR-based size filtering (default: true).
• ATR Multiplier (0–∞, default: 0.25): Sets FVG size threshold (higher values = larger gaps).
• Remove Mitigated FVGs: Removes filled FVGs/iFVGs (default: true).
• Show FVG Labels: Displays “Bull FVG”/“Bear FVG” labels (default: true).
• Timezone Offset (-12 to 12, default: -5): Aligns time windows with EST.
• Colors: Customize bullish (green), bearish (red), and midline (gray) colors.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator empowers ICT traders with a tool that goes beyond generic FVG detection, offering precise, time-filtered gaps and inversion tracking aligned with institutional trading principles. By focusing on ICT’s macro timeframes, session-specific imbalances, and customizable signal logic, it provides a clear edge for scalping, swing trading, or reversal setups in high-liquidity markets.
Volatility Footprint CandlesVolatility Footprint is an innovative volume profile indicator that dynamically adapts to real-time market conditions, providing traders with a powerful tool to visualize and interpret market structure, order flow, and potential areas of support and resistance.
At its core, Volatility Footprint combines the concepts of market profile, volume analysis, and volatility measurement to create a unique and adaptive charting experience. The indicator intelligently adjusts its display based on the current market volatility, ensuring that traders always have a clear and readable chart, regardless of the instrument or timeframe they are analyzing.
The footprint chart is composed of a series of color-coded boxes, each representing a specific price level. The color of the box indicates whether there is a net buying or selling pressure at that level, while the opacity reflects the relative strength of the volume. This intuitive visualization allows traders to quickly identify areas of high and low volume, as well as potential imbalances in order flow.
In addition to the individual box volumes, Volatility Footprint also calculates and displays the cumulative volume delta. This running total of buy and sell volumes across all price levels provides valuable insight into the overall market sentiment and potential trends.
One of the key features of Volatility Footprint is its ability to identify and highlight the Point of Control (POC). The POC represents the price level with the highest volume concentration and serves as a key reference point for potential support or resistance. By drawing attention to this crucial level, the indicator helps traders make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points.
Volatility Footprint is designed to be highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor the appearance of the footprint chart to their specific preferences. Users can easily modify the colors, opacity, and size of the boxes, labels, and POC marker to enhance readability and clarity.
The indicator's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of trading styles and strategies. Whether you are a scalper looking for short-term opportunities or a swing trader aiming to identify potential trend reversals, Volatility Footprint can provide valuable insights into market dynamics.
By combining Volatility Footprint with other forms of analysis, such as price action, key levels, and technical indicators, traders can gain a more comprehensive understanding of market behavior and make better-informed trading decisions.
Volatility Footprint's adaptive approach to volume profile analysis sets it apart from traditional fixed-resolution volume profile indicators. By dynamically adjusting to the unique characteristics of each instrument and timeframe, the indicator ensures that traders always have a clear and meaningful representation of market structure and order flow.
Volatility Footprint is a powerful tool that traders can incorporate into their market analysis and decision-making process. By providing a dynamic, visual representation of volume and order flow at different price levels, this indicator offers valuable insights into market structure, sentiment, and potential areas of support and resistance. Let's explore how traders might effectively utilize Volatility Footprint in their trading approach.
1. Identifying Key Levels:
One of the primary uses of Volatility Footprint is to identify key price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. The color-coded boxes allow traders to quickly spot areas of high volume concentration, which may indicate potential support or resistance zones. For example, if a trader notices a cluster of boxes with high opacity at a specific price level, they may interpret this as a strong support or resistance area, depending on the prevailing market context. By paying attention to these key levels, traders can make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points, as well as placement of stop-loss orders and profit targets.
2. Assessing Market Sentiment:
The cumulative volume delta feature of Volatility Footprint provides traders with a valuable gauge of overall market sentiment. By analyzing the running total of buy and sell volumes across all price levels, traders can gain insight into the dominant market forces at play. If the cumulative delta is significantly positive, it may suggest a bullish sentiment, as buying pressure has been consistently outpacing selling pressure. Conversely, a negative cumulative delta may indicate a bearish sentiment. Traders can use this information to confirm or question their bias and adjust their trading plan accordingly.
3. Confirming Breakouts and Trend Reversals:
Volatility Footprint can be particularly useful in confirming the strength and validity of breakouts and potential trend reversals. When a price level is breached, traders can refer to the footprint chart to assess the volume and order flow characteristics around that level. If the breakout is accompanied by a surge in volume and a clear imbalance between buying and selling pressure, it may suggest a strong and sustainable move. On the other hand, if the volume is relatively low or evenly distributed, the breakout may be less reliable. By using Volatility Footprint to confirm breakouts, traders can make more informed decisions about whether to enter or exit a trade, or to adjust their position size.
4. Detecting Imbalances and Potential Reversals:
Imbalances between buying and selling pressure at specific price levels can often precede significant market moves or reversals. Volatility Footprint makes it easy for traders to spot these imbalances visually. For instance, if a trader observes a price level with a significantly larger number of sell boxes compared to buy boxes, it may indicate a potential exhaustion point for a bullish trend, and a reversal might be imminent. Traders can use this information in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trendlines, moving averages, or momentum oscillators, to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
5. Adapting to Market Conditions:
One of the key strengths of Volatility Footprint is its ability to dynamically adapt to the unique volatility characteristics of different instruments and timeframes. This adaptability ensures that the indicator remains relevant and informative across a wide range of market conditions. Traders can use Volatility Footprint to gauge the relative volatility and volume of a particular instrument or timeframe, and adjust their trading approach accordingly. For example, in a highly volatile market, traders may opt for wider stop-loss levels and smaller position sizes to account for the increased risk.
Incorporating Volatility Footprint into a trading strategy requires a combination of technical analysis, market understanding, and risk management. Traders should use this indicator as part of a comprehensive approach, combining it with other forms of analysis, such as price action, key levels, and technical indicators. By doing so, traders can gain a more complete picture of market dynamics and make better-informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that while Volatility Footprint provides valuable insights, it should not be relied upon as a standalone trading signal. Traders should always consider the broader market context, their risk tolerance, and their overall trading plan when making decisions based on the information provided by this indicator.
In conclusion, Volatility Footprint offers traders a dynamic and visually intuitive way to analyze market structure, volume, and order flow. By identifying key levels, assessing market sentiment, confirming breakouts, detecting imbalances, and adapting to market conditions, traders can leverage this powerful tool to make more informed and confident trading decisions. As with any technical analysis tool, Volatility Footprint should be used in conjunction with sound risk management principles and a well-defined trading strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
PATIThis indicator is part of our educational suite focused on teaching price structure, momentum, and mean reversion trading strategies for intraday trading. Our team has selected this set of tools and metrics, which define our trading style and serve as the foundation for our teaching, to be included in this indicator. We are displaying each component in a way we believe is helpful to their understanding which also provides a clean, comprehensive look.
This indicator is for Intraday Trading
Our Traders most commonly use this indicator on the 1,3 or 5 minute chart.
Components of this Indicator:
Multiple VWAP Levels: monthly, weekly, standard (anchored to the right of price)
Dynamically Anchored VWAP Cloud (trend tool)
13 EMA (trend tool)
Structural Orderblocks
Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gap detection
Key Daily Price Levels (anchored to the right of price)
Customizable Opening Range (anchored to the right of price)
15 minute “Golden Zone” (shows the .5-.618 zone of the previous 15m candle)
ADR (Average Daily Range)
A4R (Average 4hr Range)
These tools are used in conjunction with the education we provide to help our users determine their optimal trade plan to utilize their edge.
Specific Functionalities and Uses:
Monthly-VWAP & Weekly-VWAP (M-VWAP/W-VWAP):
VWAP = “Volume Weighted Average Price”
These levels provide probable zones where price may mean revert and risk should be taken off/ put on. We have anchored these to the right-hand side of your chart by default to minimize the noise on your chart.
Average Daily Range (ADR): The Average Daily Range is a technical indicator used to measure the volatility of an asset. It displays how much an instrument can move on average during a given day. The significance is that each market has a unique range that is likely to be covered on any given day.
Average 4hr Range (A4R): The Average 4hr Range is a technical indicator used to measure the volatility of an asset twice in a single session. It displays how much an instrument can move on average during a session and is measured twice in a day. Calculating a smaller volatility range may seem strange at first but can be a huge advantage by analyzing the volatility of the intraday action, giving you average price targets based on more recent market data.
Tip: When used in conjunction with key support and resistance levels, ADR & A4R can be a huge edge to traders to determine where to push/pull risk.
Opening Range: The open often establishes the trend and sentiment for the day, but there is also statistical significance to the open that is overlooked. Statistically, on average, the open is near the high or low of the day and offers plenty of opportunities to build trading strategies. The chart below provides some potential trades that could be taken once the opening range has been established.
Dynamically Anchored VWAP Cloud: Our dynamically anchored VWAP cloud tracks the most recent impulsive move and re-anchors to show you potential bounce points in a trend. We re-anchor at each structural shift to give the most probable targets for buyers/sellers to defend their positions to continue the current trend push.
By utilizing the re-anchoring at each significant structural inflection point, we can establish a much less lagging trend following technique.
We have also included the feature to substitute this cloud for a 34/55 EMA cloud for the traders already familiar with that system.
The chart below provides potential trades that could be taken using the VWAP cloud system.
FVGS (Fair Value Gaps/ Imbalances): These areas represent potential buy/sell side liquidity imbalances where price is pushed aggressively, sweeping the orderbook and will likely return to “fix” the structure before continuing. Below is an example of 3 possible trade paths we look for inside these structural imbalances.
Structural Orderblocks:
These areas are based on structural pivots that have been pushed out of with aggression determined by subsequent structural breaks to confirm their validity. Because of this, when price returns to these areas we can anticipate this area to be defended.
The blue boxes track Orderblocks. These highlight instances of past participation which create areas likely to be defended again when retested.
Swing High/Low/Previous:
We use swing high and lows as points of short-term support and resistance, a break of these levels can signify a shift in market sentiment.
-The dashed green line shows the previous structural swing high or low pivot point.
-The solid green lines show the high and low in our current trading structure.
Note: Displaying the previous swing can provide us with context of the current market trend, and will assist us make better decisions.
15 Minute Golden Zone:
Displayed as a gray box, it tracks the .5-.618 of the previous 15m candle and gives us an area where we look for short-term resistance/support on smaller time frame price action. This area can be viewed as an equilibrium of the current range. If the price can hold this area, it can show a likely support area for continuation.
13 EMA:
This is the choice length ema of our traders, they use this ema to confirm (short-term) trend direction and reference it for a common bounce point for re-entries. Our traders consider this as a crucial point to speculate reversals and break of short-term trends.
Note: Typically in a trend we see the price hold to one side of this ema, by looking for this characteristic, it brings confidence to staying in trades.

Fair Value Gap [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap
This indicator is designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the price chart. Fair Value Gaps are areas between candles where the price lacks continuity, leaving a "gap" that can serve as a reference point for price retracements. These zones are often considered important by traders as they represent market imbalances that tend to be "mitigated" (i.e., filled or tested) over time.
Purpose of Publication
This indicator addresses a common gap in FVG indicators. Most existing FVG indicators do not visually distinguish between mitigated (touched) FVGs and those that remain intact. With this indicator:
Mitigated FVGs are clearly displayed with distinct colors, allowing traders to identify which zones have been partially or fully filled by the price.
Unmitigated FVGs remain prominent, representing potential points of interest.
Key Features
Identification of Fair Value Gaps:
A Bullish FVG (upward gap) forms when the high of the three previous candles (candle -3) is lower than the low of the next candle (candle -1).
A Bearish FVG (downward gap) forms when the low of the three previous candles (candle -3) is higher than the high of the next candle (candle -1).
Dynamic Coloring:
Unmitigated FVGs are highlighted with specific colors: green for Bullish and red for Bearish gaps.
When an FVG is "touched" by the price (i.e., mitigated), the color changes:
Yellow-green for mitigated Bullish FVGs.
Purple for mitigated Bearish FVGs.
Handling Mitigated FVGs:
When an FVG is touched by the price, it is visually updated with a different color.
An option can be enabled to "shrink" the mitigated zone, adjusting the box to reflect the remaining untested portion of the gap.
Customization:
Configure the maximum number of FVGs to display on the chart.
Set specific colors for mitigated and unmitigated FVGs.
Choose whether to automatically shrink mitigated zones.
How to Identify Support and Resistance Levels
Support:
Bullish FVGs represent potential support levels, as they indicate areas where the price might return to seek liquidity or fill the imbalance.
An FVG that is repeatedly touched without being fully filled becomes a significant support zone.
Resistance:
Bearish FVGs represent potential resistance levels, indicating zones where the price might stall or reverse direction.
Why a Repeatedly Mitigated FVG is Significant
When an FVG is touched or mitigated multiple times, it means the market recognizes that area as significant. This can happen for several reasons:
Accumulation or Distribution: Institutional traders may use these zones to accumulate or distribute positions without causing excessive market movement.
Presence of Liquidity: FVGs often represent areas with pending orders (stop-losses, limit orders), and the price revisits these zones to seek liquidity.
Market Equilibrium: When an FVG is repeatedly filled, it indicates the market's attempt to balance a demand-supply imbalance. This makes the zone an important level to monitor for potential breakouts or reversals.

NWOG/NDOG [NINE Θ]Overview
A professional-grade indicator for detecting and visualizing New Week Opening Gaps (NWOGs) and New Day Opening Gaps (NDOGs), essential concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and analysis.
What Are Opening Gaps?
Opening gaps represent price inefficiencies created between trading sessions. When one session closes and the next session opens at a different price, the resulting "gap" creates a zone of unfilled orders and potential liquidity. These gaps often act as magnets for price, providing high-probability trading opportunities as the market seeks to rebalance these inefficiencies.
NWOG (New Week Opening Gap)
The gap between Friday's close and Sunday's open. These weekly imbalances are significant because they represent the collective repositioning of institutional traders over the weekend. NWOGs frequently serve as major support/resistance zones that can influence price action for days or even weeks. Due to their larger timeframe context, NWOGs typically carry more weight than daily gaps.
NDOG (New Day Opening Gap)
The gap between one session's close and the next session's open. Daily gaps occur more frequently than weekly gaps, offering more regular trading setups. While individually less significant than NWOGs, NDOGs provide valuable intraday reference points and often fill within the same trading session.
Features In Depth
Gap Detection & Visualization
The indicator automatically identifies and plots opening gaps as they form in real-time.
Automatic Detection: The indicator monitors session transitions and instantly identifies when a gap forms between the previous close and current open. NWOGs are detected on Sunday opens, while NDOGs are detected at each new daily session open (excluding Sundays, which are reserved for NWOG detection).
Bullish vs Bearish Classification: Each gap is automatically classified based on its direction:
Bullish Gap (Gap Up): Current open is higher than previous close, indicates overnight buying pressure
Bearish Gap (Gap Down): Current open is lower than previous close, indicates overnight selling pressure
The indicator uses distinct color schemes for bullish and bearish gaps, making it easy to identify gap direction at a glance. Current/most recent gaps use the "new" color settings, while historical gaps use the standard color settings.
Historical Tracking: Track up to 20 gaps of each type simultaneously. The "Historical Count" setting controls how many gaps remain visible on your chart. Older gaps are automatically removed as new ones form, keeping your chart clean while maintaining relevant historical context.
Visual Customization:
Toggle gap boundary lines (HIGH/LOW) on or off independently from the background fill
Choose line styles: solid (⎯⎯⎯), dashed (----), or dotted (····)
Adjust line thickness from 1-4 pixels
Enable/disable background fill with customizable transparency
Set colors independently for current vs historical gaps
Consequent Encroachment (C.E.)
The Consequent Encroachment represents the 50% midpoint of a gap — a critical level in ICT methodology.
Why C.E. Matters: In smart money concepts, the C.E. level represents the point of maximum efficiency within an imbalance. Price often gravitates toward this level as it seeks to rebalance the gap. Many traders use C.E. as their primary target when trading gap fills, or as a key level for entries and stop placement.
C.E. Display Options:
Independent color settings for current vs historical gaps
Separate line style and thickness controls
Can be shown/hidden independently from gap boundaries
Quarter Levels (25% and 75%): For traders who want additional precision, the indicator offers optional quarter levels at 25% and 75% of the gap range. These levels can serve as:
Partial profit targets
Scaling entry points
Additional support/resistance zones within the gap
Fill Tracking & Percentage
The indicator provides sophisticated fill tracking to monitor how much of each gap has been "filled" by subsequent price action.
How Fill Percentage Works:
For bullish gaps (gap up): Measures how far price has retraced DOWN from the gap's high toward its low
For bearish gaps (gap down): Measures how far price has retraced UP from the gap's low toward its high
The fill percentage updates in real-time as price moves through the gap zone, giving you instant feedback on gap fill progress.
Fill Detection Methods:
Wicks: Uses the full candle range (high/low) — more sensitive, detects fills earlier
Bodies: Uses only open/close prices — more conservative, requires stronger commitment
Visual Fill Indicators: The fill percentage is displayed with intuitive symbols:
〇 0-24% filled — Gap is largely untouched
◔ 25-49% filled — Minor fill in progress
◑ 50-74% filled — C.E. level has been reached
◕ 75-99% filled — Gap nearly complete
⬤ 100% filled — Gap fully filled
Hide Filled Gaps: Enable this option to automatically remove gaps from your chart once they reach 100% fill. This keeps your chart focused on active, unfilled gaps that still represent potential trading opportunities.
Projection Levels
When price breaks out of a gap zone, projection levels provide potential targets based on the gap's size.
How Projections Work: Once price closes above a gap's high (for upward projections) or below a gap's low (for downward projections), the indicator calculates extension levels using the gap's range as a measuring unit. These projections function similarly to Fibonacci extensions but are anchored to the gap's dimensions.
Projection Direction:
Upward Projections: Triggered when price closes above the gap's high — levels project above the gap
Downward Projections: Triggered when price closes below the gap's low — levels project below the gap
Customizable Multipliers: Define your own projection levels using the "Projection Levels" input. Enter comma-separated values representing multiples of the gap size:
Default: 0.5,1,2,2.5
Example custom: 0.618,1,1.618,2,2.618 (Fibonacci-based)
Each value creates a projection line at that multiple of the gap range
Projection Display Options:
Side: Display projections on the Left (extending back from gap formation) or Right (extending forward)
Color, Style, Thickness: Full visual customization
Labels: Show multiplier values at each projection level
"Extend Until Tapped" Feature: When enabled (Left side only), projection lines stop extending once price touches them. This creates a visual record of which levels have been reached and when, helping you track projection performance over time. Untapped projections continue extending until they're reached.
Labels & Formatting
Comprehensive labeling options help you quickly identify and reference gaps on your chart.
Label Format Options:
Gap Type: Simple label showing "NWOG" or "NDOG"
Gap Type + Date: Includes the full date with day of week (e.g., "NWOG Monday, November 3, 2025")
Gap Type + Date + Filled Percent: Adds the fill percentage and symbol (e.g., "NWOG Monday, November 3, 2025 ")
Label Positioning:
When Show Levels is ON: Separate labels appear at the HIGH and LOW boundaries
When Show Levels is OFF: A single label appears at the C.E. (midpoint) level
Label Customization:
Text size: Tiny, Small, Normal, or Large
Text color and background color (set background transparency to 100 for no background)
Tooltips provide detailed information including all price levels and fill percentage
Hide Historical Labels: Enable this option to hide labels and projection text on all gaps except the most recent. Lines remain visible, but text clutter is reduced — useful when tracking many historical gaps.
Status Table
An optional summary table provides at-a-glance information about all active gaps.
Table Contents: For each active gap, the table displays:
Gap Type: NWOG or NDOG with date
HIGH: Upper boundary of the gap
LOW: Lower boundary of the gap
C.E.: Consequent Encroachment (50% level)
% Filled: Current fill percentage with visual symbol
Display Settings:
Position: 9 positions available (Top/Middle/Bottom × Left/Center/Right)
Size: Tiny, Small, or Normal text
Gap Count: Control how many NWOGs and NDOGs appear in the table (1-3 each)
Adaptive Theming: The table automatically detects your chart's background color and adjusts text colors for optimal readability on both light and dark themes.
Smart Filtering: The table only shows unfilled gaps (or gaps not hidden by the "Hide Filled" setting), keeping the display focused on actionable information.
Alert System
Stay informed of key gap events without constantly monitoring your charts.
Gap Formation Alerts: Receive an alert the moment a new gap is detected. The alert includes:
Gap direction (Bullish/Bearish)
Gap type (NWOG/NDOG)
Symbol name
Example: "Bullish NWOG formed on AMEX:SPY "
Gap Filled Alerts: Get notified when a gap reaches 100% fill. This is valuable for:
Confirming trade targets have been reached
Identifying when gaps are no longer active reference points
Example: "NWOG filled on AMEX:SPY "
Projection Level Alerts: Receive alerts when price reaches your defined projection levels. Each level only alerts once, preventing spam. Useful for:
Taking profits at projection targets
Identifying extended moves beyond the gap
Example: "NWOG 2x projection reached on AMEX:SPY "
General Settings
Gap Offset: Controls how many bars the gap lines extend to the right of the current candle (0-15 bars). A higher offset keeps labels and lines visible further into the future, while a lower offset keeps the display tighter to current price action.
Tips
NWOG Priority: NWOGs typically hold more significance than NDOGs due to their weekly timeframe. When NWOG and NDOG levels conflict, consider giving more weight to the NWOG.
Unfilled Historical Gaps: Gaps from days or weeks ago can still influence current price action. Don't ignore older unfilled gaps — they often become relevant when price returns to those zones.
Session Context: Pay attention to which session created the gap. Gaps formed during high-volume sessions (like NYSE open) may carry more significance than gaps from lower-volume periods.
Gap Size Matters: Larger gaps represent more significant imbalances and often provide stronger support/resistance. Smaller gaps may fill quickly and offer less reliable levels.
Clean Chart Option: Use "Hide Historical Labels" combined with the status table to maintain a clean chart while still having access to all gap information.
Requirements
Intraday Timeframes Only: This indicator works exclusively on intraday timeframes (minutes, hours). Gap detection requires session open/close data that is only available on intraday charts.
Sufficient Historical Data: Ensure your chart has enough historical bars loaded for accurate gap tracking, especially if using higher historical count settings.
Session-Based Markets: The indicator is optimized for markets with distinct trading sessions (stocks, futures, forex). 24/7 markets like crypto may show fewer or different gap patterns.

Use Case: Trade lower timeframes while respecting higher timeframe structure. Watch for HTF candle closes to confirm directional bias.
FVG & VI Detection
Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances highlight inefficiencies that price often revisits:
1. **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detected when HTF candle wicks don't overlap between 3 consecutive candles
- Bullish FVG: Gap between candle 1 high and candle 3 low (green box by default)
- Bearish FVG: Gap between candle 1 low and candle 3 high (red box by default)
2. **Volume Imbalances (VIs)**: Similar detection but focuses on body gaps
- Bullish VI: Gap between candle 1 close and candle 3 open
- Bearish VI: Gap between candle 1 open and candle 3 close
3. Enable FVG/VI detection per HTF slot individually
4. Customize colors and transparency for each imbalance type
5. Boxes appear on chart at formation and remain visible as retracement targets
**Use Case**: Identify high-probability retracement zones. Price often returns to fill FVGs and VIs before continuing the trend. Use as entry zones or profit targets.

Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Fibonacci Projection with Volume & Delta Profile (Zeiierman) blends classic Fibonacci swing analysis with modern volume-flow reading to create a unified, projection-based market framework. The indicator automatically detects the latest swing high and swing low, builds a complete Fibonacci structure, and then projects future extension targets with clear visual pathways.
What makes this tool unique is the integration of two volume-based systems directly into the Fibonacci structure. A Fib-aligned Volume Profile shows how bullish and bearish volume accumulated inside the swing range, while a separate Delta Profile reveals the imbalance of buy–sell pressure inside each Fibonacci interval. Together, these elements transform the standard Fibonacci tool into a multi-dimensional structural and volume-flow map.
█ How It Works
The indicator first detects the most recent swing high and swing low using the Period setting. That swing defines the Fibonacci range, from which the script draws retracement levels (0.236–0.786) and builds a forward projection path using the chosen Projection Level and a 1.272 extension.
Along this path, it draws projection lines, target boxes, and percentage labels that show how far each projected leg extends relative to the previous one.
Inside the same swing range, the script builds a Fib-based Volume Profile by splitting price into rows and assigning each bar’s volume as bullish (close > open) or bearish (close ≤ open). On top of that, it calculates a Volume Delta Profile between each pair of fib levels, showing whether buyers or sellers dominated that band and how strong that imbalance was.
█ How to Use
This tool helps traders quickly understand market structure and where the price may be heading next. The projection engine shows the most likely future targets, highlights strong or weak legs in the move, and updates automatically whenever a new swing forms. This ensures you always see the most relevant and up-to-date projection path.
The Fib Volume Profile shows where volume supported the move and where it did not. Thick bullish buckets reveal zones where buyers stepped in aggressively, often becoming retestable support. Thick bearish buckets highlight zones of resistance or rejection, particularly useful if projected levels align with prior liquidity.
The Delta Profile adds a second dimension to volume reading by showing where buy–sell pressure was truly imbalanced. A projected Fibonacci target that aligns with a strong bullish delta, for example, may suggest continuation. A projection into a band dominated by bearish delta may warn of reversal or hesitation.

CRT MTF + HTF Candles - Milana TradesCRT MTF + HTF Candles is an educational tool that helps you visualize higher-timeframe CRT and HTF candles on your intraday chart
The script automatically tracks key HTF levels and shows three types of CRT events:
1. Pending CRT
When a higher-timeframe candle breaks the previous high or low, the indicator marks this as a “pending” CRT.
This helps you see potential liquidity grabs and where price is currently trapped inside the HTF range
2. Completed CRT
A CRT becomes “completed” when price reaches the opposite side of the previously broken level
3. Invalid CRT
If price closes outside the HTF range before completion, the CRT is marked as invalid.
This helps you identify failed breaks and possible reversals.
Multi-Timeframe HTF Candles
The script draws clean higher-timeframe candles directly on your lower timeframe chart.
Each candle includes:
Body and wicks
HTF open & close
Swing high/low markers
Timeframe labels
Optional timers (showing time remaining in the candle)
Optional imbalances (FVG / volume imbalance)
Optional Midpont line (0.5)
HTF candle spacing
You can adjust candle width, spacing, and alignment so HTF candles fit nicely over lower-TF bars.
Gaps & Imbalances
The tool can highlight:
Fair value gaps
Volume imbalance
Swing Sweep line
When price tried update swing but closed inside the candle cange
Equlibrium line (Midpoint 0.5)
Timeframe tags & timers
Shows clear labels for each HTF candle
You can choose which timeframes to show (1H, 2H, 4H, Daily, etc.) and how many candles should be displayed
Trade smart, stay disciplined, and keep improving every day
Enjoy :)
