5 Layer Script FVG P3 Identifier Package True vs FalseThis script is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) identification framework designed to highlight price inefficiencies created by displacement, not to predict reversals or force entries. The script automatically detects and plots true three candle fair value gaps, allowing traders to objectively identify areas where price moved with imbalance and may later seek re-equilibration. Where you will see the FVG will update from a regular fvg to a True FVG.
How it works
-Identifies valid FVGs based on price displacement, not arbitrary candle size
-Plots FVG zones only after they are fully formed and confirmed
-Zones remain on the chart until price interacts with them
-No repainting once an FVG is printed
How to use it
-Use FVGs as areas of interest, not entry signals
-Best applied when price is returning after expansion
-Combine with: Higher-timeframe bias and Midpoint equilibrium levels
-Market structure shifts
-Liquidity sweeps or session timing
Entries should be taken only after confirmation (reaction, rejection, or shift)
This can be a good entry tool.

Power Candle Morphology Power Score Only- By DaliliPower Candle Morphology Indicator
By Dalili
Overview
This indicator is a price-action–only candle morphology engine designed to identify moments of genuine directional intent rather than noise. It operates strictly on single-bar geometry and immediate context, without moving averages, oscillators, volatility smoothing, or historical aggregation. Each qualifying candle is scored in real time and labeled only when structural dominance is present.
Core Philosophy
Markets move when one side overwhelms the other. This tool quantifies that imbalance directly from the candle itself. It ignores indicators derived from price and instead evaluates how price behaved inside the bar: body dominance, wick asymmetry, closing authority, and classic institutional candle patterns. No hindsight. No averaging. One bar, one judgment.
Morphology Detection
The indicator classifies only high-conviction candle structures:
1. Marubozu variants, where the body controls the full range and the close asserts dominance at the extreme.
2. Engulfing structures, where a current candle decisively absorbs prior opposing intent.
3. Directional pin bars, where rejection is violent and asymmetric, signaling forced participation failure on one side.
If none of these conditions are met, the candle is ignored entirely.
Power Scoring System
Each qualifying candle receives a Power Score from 1 to 10, derived from four independent components:
1. Body dominance as a percentage of total range.
2. Wick asymmetry relative to the body, measuring rejection or control.
3. Close location within the range, measuring who won the bar.
4. Pattern boost for structurally dominant formations.
The score is intentionally capped and discrete. There is no smoothing, rolling average, or cumulative bias.
Signal Output
Only candles that meet both structural qualification and a minimum power threshold are labeled. Labels are minimal by design:
“P#” only, plotted above or below the candle in the direction of dominance. Green denotes bullish control. Red denotes bearish control. No additional text, shapes, or overlays are introduced.
What This Indicator Is Not
It is not predictive.
It is not trend-following.
It is not confirmation-stacking.
It does not care about indicators agreeing with it.
What It Is Used For
This indicator is best used as a decision-quality filter. It answers a single question with precision: Was this candle structurally strong enough to matter? When combined with context such as support and resistance, volume expansion, or volatility contraction, it highlights the exact bars where professional participation is most likely present.
In short, this is a candle truth detector. It strips price action down to dominance, grades it objectively, and stays silent unless something real just happened.
PSP (Precision Swing Point - CIC SMT)PSP SMT – Correlation Stages Indicator
The PSP SMT – Correlation Stages indicator is designed to identify Smart Money divergences (SMT) between correlated markets through a progressive, stage-based model.
It visually classifies price behavior into correlation stages, helping traders detect early imbalance, confirmation, and distribution phases used by institutional participants.
By comparing a primary asset with a correlated symbol, the indicator highlights loss of correlation, displacement, and confirmation signals, offering a structured framework to anticipate potential reversals or continuations within ICT-based market models.
Ideal for traders who apply ICT concepts, intermarket analysis, and liquidity-based strategies, the PSP SMT enhances timing, context, and confidence in decision-making.

Volume-Based Indicator — Data Granularity & Table Guide
1) Critical warning about data granularity (read first)
Important: This indicator is built entirely on volume-derived calculations (volume, volume delta, and related flow metrics). Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it.
The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S).
If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features.
Plan-related notes (TradingView)
TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are:
• Basic: 5,000 bars
• Essential: 10,000 bars
• Plus: 10,000 bars
• Premium: 20,000 bars
• Expert: 25,000 bars
• Ultimate: 40,000 bars
Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.

Smart Money Zones (FVG + OB) + MTF Trend Panel## Overview
Professional-grade institutional trading zones indicator that identifies **Fair Value Gaps (FVG)** and **Order Blocks (OB)** - key price inefficiencies where smart money operates. Includes a comprehensive **Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel** for complete market context at a glance.
## Core Features
### 🎯 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so aggressively that it leaves an "imbalance" or "gap" in the market structure. These zones often act as magnets where price returns to find liquidity.
**Detection Logic:**
- **Bullish FVG**: When current candle's low is above the high of the candle 2 bars ago
- **Bearish FVG**: When current candle's high is below the low of the candle 2 bars ago
- Requires strong impulse candle (configurable body percentage threshold)
- Color-coded zones: Green for bullish, Red for bearish
### 📦 Order Blocks (OB)
Order Blocks represent the last opposite candle before a significant price move - the zone where institutional orders were placed before the breakout.
**Detection Logic:**
- Identifies the last bearish candle before a strong bullish breakout (Bullish OB)
- Identifies the last bullish candle before a strong bearish breakout (Bearish OB)
- Validates breakout strength using ATR multiplier (1.2x default)
- Color-coded zones: Blue for bullish, Orange for bearish
### 📊 Multi-Timeframe Trend Panel
Real-time trend analysis across **7 timeframes** displayed in an elegant dashboard:
- **1 Minute** - Ultra short-term scalping
- **5 Minutes** - Short-term momentum
- **15 Minutes** - Intraday swings
- **30 Minutes** - Session trends
- **1 Hour** - Multi-session trends
- **4 Hours** - Daily structure
- **Daily** - Long-term direction
**Visual Indicators:**
- 🟢 Green circle = Bullish trend
- 🔴 Red circle = Bearish trend
- Clean, professional table design with customizable position and size
## Intelligence Features
### 🧠 Zone Strength Rating
Every zone is automatically classified by strength based on size relative to ATR:
- **VERY STRONG** - 2.0x ATR or more (major institutional zones)
- **STRONG** - 1.5x to 2.0x ATR (significant zones)
- **MEDIUM** - 1.0x to 1.5x ATR (moderate zones)
- **WEAK** - Below 1.0x ATR (minor zones)
Strength rating helps you prioritize which zones to trade from!
### 📉 Smart Mitigation Tracking
Zones automatically track how much they've been "filled" or mitigated:
- Calculates penetration percentage as price enters the zone
- Zones turn **gray** when 50%+ mitigated or fully filled
- Option to **auto-delete** mitigated zones to keep chart clean
- Live zones extend dynamically with price action
### 🎨 Trend Filter (Optional)
When enabled, only shows zones aligned with the current trend:
- Uses customizable MA period (default 50)
- Bullish zones only appear in uptrend
- Bearish zones only appear in downtrend
- Reduces noise and false signals significantly
## Customization Options
### Display Settings
- Toggle FVGs and OBs independently
- Adjust max zones per type (5-200)
- Choose to remove or gray out mitigated zones
- Color customization for all zone types
### Detection Parameters
- **Min Impulse Body %**: Controls how strong the impulse candle must be (0.3-1.0)
- **Order Block Lookback**: How many bars to look back for OB validation (5-50)
- **ATR Length**: Period for ATR calculation (5-50)
### Trend Filter
- Enable/disable trend filtering
- Adjustable MA period for trend determination
### MTF Panel
- Show/hide the trend panel
- 4 position options: Top Right, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Left
- 3 size options: Small, Normal, Large
- Customizable MA period for trend calculation across all timeframes
## Trading Applications
### 1. **Liquidity Grab Entries**
Wait for price to sweep a zone (50%+ mitigation) then enter on reversal. Smart money often "hunts" these zones before the real move begins.
### 2. **Confluence Trading**
Look for zones that align with:
- Multiple timeframe trends showing same direction
- Multiple FVGs/OBs stacking in same area
- Key support/resistance levels
### 3. **Breakout Confirmation**
Use Order Blocks to confirm the strength of breakouts. Strong OBs indicate institutional participation.
### 4. **Retracement Entries**
Enter when price returns to a fresh, unmitigated zone in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
### 5. **Range Trading**
Identify FVG zones at range extremes - price often reverses at these inefficiencies.
## How It Works
**Fair Value Gaps** form when the middle candle creates such aggressive movement that it leaves a price gap between the high/low of surrounding candles. Institutional traders know these gaps get filled.
**Order Blocks** mark the origin of major moves. The last opposite-colored candle before a breakout is where large orders were placed. Price often returns to these zones for "retests" before continuing.
**Mitigation** happens when price returns to fill these zones. The indicator tracks this automatically, showing you which zones are still "fresh" and which have been used up.
## Best Practices
✅ **Use higher timeframe trends** - Always check the MTF panel before taking trades
✅ **Trade fresh zones** - Unmitigated zones (not gray) have the highest probability
✅ **Combine with price action** - Look for rejection wicks and engulfing candles at zones
✅ **Respect zone strength** - VERY STRONG and STRONG zones are most reliable
✅ **Use trend filter** - Especially on lower timeframes to reduce false signals
❌ **Don't overtrade** - Not every zone will react, wait for confirmation
❌ **Don't ignore context** - Check the MTF panel for conflicting trends
❌ **Don't chase** - Wait for price to come to the zone, don't enter mid-zone
## Technical Details
- **Non-repainting**: All zones are drawn on confirmed candles only
- **Performance optimized**: Uses efficient array management with per-type caps
- **Real-time updates**: Zones extend and track mitigation as price moves
- **Universal compatibility**: Works on all markets and timeframes
## Recommended Settings by Style
**Scalping (1m-5m charts):**
- Max zones: 10-15
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1m-15m trends
- Remove mitigated: ON (keep chart clean)
**Day Trading (5m-1H charts):**
- Max zones: 15-20
- Use trend filter: ON
- MTF Panel: Focus on 15m-4H trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (track zone history)
**Swing Trading (1H-D charts):**
- Max zones: 20+
- Use trend filter: Optional
- MTF Panel: Focus on 1H-1D trends
- Remove mitigated: OFF (important zones persist)

LiquidityPulse Volume-Weighted Price Movement OverlayLiquidityPulse Volume-Weighted Price Movement Overlay (VWPM)
-This is a non-repainting indicator.
What this indicator does
This overlay is designed to make directional pressure + participation + wick rejection readable directly on price.
It combines:
Volume-Weighted directional pressure (bull vs bear pressure on the current timeframe)
Wick rejection “heat bands” (strength of upper/lower wick pressure, with optional volatility adaptation)
Lower-timeframe (LTF) trend + wick context (auto-selected or manual LTFs)
Chart markers for:
VOL = participation spike aligned with the current pressure direction
EXH = exhaustion warning when trend direction is met with strong opposite-wick pressure
This script is intended as an overlay/structure companion to the separate Volume-Weighted Price Movement (Oscillator) script (pane-based), which focuses on oscillator-style pressure/participation metrics.
Image: Overlay indicator applied to price
How to read it on the chart
1) Pressure Cloud + Candle Tint
The cloud and optional candle tint reflect the current timeframe’s pressure direction:
Green = bullish pressure dominant
Red = bearish pressure dominant
Brightness/opacity scales with pressure strength (normalized by a lookback period).
2) Wick Pressure Heat Bands
The lower band represents bullish wick pressure (lower-wick rejection/absorption).
The upper band represents bearish wick pressure (upper-wick rejection/supply).
Brighter = stronger wick pressure relative to its recent baseline.
Optional Adaptive bands to volatility uses ATR to keep band scaling more consistent across changing volatility regimes.
Image: Overlay + Oscillator working together
This chart highlights how volume participation and wick behaviour can be observed during periods of increased market interaction.
The arrows are used for visual reference only:
Red arrows indicate rising volume participation during the move.
Green arrows highlight increasing wick pressure, suggesting stronger rejection or absorption at those points.
3) VOL signal (Participation Spike)
A VOL marker appears when volume % of average exceeds your threshold and aligns with the current pressure direction.
This is a quick filter for:
“The current pressure direction is being supported by above-average participation.”
4) EXH signal (Exhaustion)
An EXH marker appears when the current trend is met with strong/extreme opposite wick pressure, e.g.:
Trend is Bullish but Bear wick becomes Strong/Extreme → possible bullish exhaustion / rejection risk
Trend is Bearish but Bull wick becomes Strong/Extreme → possible bearish exhaustion / absorption risk
Table (top-right)
You can toggle individual rows on or off in the settings. The table can display:
Trend (Chart)- Directional volume-weighted pressure on the chart timeframe (Bullish / Bearish, shown with ▲ ▼ icons)
Wick (Chart)- A real-time summary of wick pressure on the chart timeframe, reflecting how price is being rejected or absorbed within candles.
Possible states include:
Strong Bull – dominant lower-wick rejection (bullish absorption), shown with a green ▲
Strong Bear – dominant upper-wick rejection (bearish pressure), shown with a red ▼
Neutral – no meaningful wick imbalance, shown with a ●
Strong Both – elevated rejection on both sides, shown with a dual-pressure marker, often seen during volatility expansion or transitional conditions
Trend + Wick (Lower Timeframes)- Trend and wick context for two lower timeframes (auto-selected or manually chosen), allowing short-term behaviour to be viewed within the higher-timeframe structure
Core metrics- Bull Avg / Bear Avg, Bull–Bear Difference, Volume % Avg, and related participation statistics
Additional metrics- Further table rows can be enabled or disabled via the settings panel
How traders can use this indicator
Traders can use LiquidityPulse VWPM as a contextual tool to observe how price movement, volume participation, and wick behaviour interact.
Common use cases include:
Identifying periods where bullish or bearish pressure is dominant on the current timeframe
Observing wick rejection or absorption near highs/lows, especially during strong moves
Monitoring lower-timeframe trend and wick alignment within a higher-timeframe move
Noticing participation spikes (VOL) that confirm increased market involvement
Spotting exhaustion conditions (EXH) where strong opposing wick pressure appears against the prevailing trend
Image: This example highlights how the overlay can be used to monitor directional pressure on the chart timeframe while simultaneously observing trend and wick conditions from selected lower timeframes. The statistics table shows instances where lower-timeframe trend readings diverge from the chart-level pressure, alongside changes in wick behaviour. This allows traders to visually contextualise short-term shifts in participation and rejection within the broader structure.
Key settings (what they change)
Presets: Scalp / Intraday / Swing adjusts effective smoothing/normalization defaults to fit different trading speeds.
Lookback Period + Smoothing: These control how fast/slow the pressure model responds.
Lower values = faster response (more reactive/noisier)
Higher values = smoother response (slower/more stable)
Wick thresholds + Wick row mode: Strong / Extreme thresholds define when wick pressure is classified as Strong/Extreme relative to baseline.
Wick rows show can filter table wick rows to Extreme-only, Strong + Extreme, or Full.
Wick bands- Volatility Adapt: Adaptive bands to volatility (ATR-based) helps wick band height/offset remain visually consistent as volatility expands/contracts.
Adapt Strength controls how much the ATR regime affects the bands.
Visual controls: Transparency controls let you make the overlay more subtle or more prominent without changing calculations.
Why there is an Overlay and Oscillator version
This tool is intentionally split into two complementary indicators to preserve clarity and usability
Overlay version (this script): Focuses on price-level context, structure, wick pressure, lower-timeframe alignment, and event markers directly on the chart.
Oscillator companion version: Provides a dedicated pane for pressure balance, participation, and momentum acceleration metrics that benefit from oscillator-style visualisation.
Separating these views avoids overcrowding the price chart and allows each component to be interpreted more clearly in its appropriate context.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed to visualise price–volume interaction, pressure, and wick behaviour.
It does not generate trade entries or exits signals and should be used as analytical context alongside a trader’s existing methodology and risk management only.
Clock&Flow: Elements of Cycle Analysis 2nd partClock&Flow – Elements of Cycle Analysis (ECA) | Complete Suite
Elements of Cycle Analysis (ECA) is an advanced cyclic analysis suite designed to interpret the market through time, structure, strength, and energy, combining cycles, volatility, and participation into a single operational framework.
The suite consists of two complementary modules:
🔹ECA 1 – Cycles, Structure, and Volatility (Overlay: True)
ECA 1 is dedicated to the structural and temporal analysis of the market.
Cyclic SMAs (Cyclic Ratio) Moving averages are calibrated according to nominal cycles and timeframes to monitor multiple cycles simultaneously (from the lower cycle to the upper cycles). Crossovers between fast and slow SMAs certify the closing or transition of the cycle related to the faster SMA. The specific cycle is identified in the Info Table at the bottom right (for 15m - 1h - 2h - 1D timeframes). You can select the number of cycles to observe and the asset type to apply them to:
Index: Standard quotes (e.g., Cash sessions).
Future: Extended quotes (24h).
50-200: Classic institutional references for the medium-long term.
ATR-based Dynamic Cyclic Channels The channels represent a lower cycle and its upper counterpart; their width is determined by the observed timeframe and calculated based on average volatility (ATR). Volatility is not treated as noise but as a structural component of the cycle, essential for contextualizing excesses, compressions, and expansions.
Info Table and Quick Guide Dynamic tables automatically link SMAs, timeframes, and time cycles, providing an immediate reading of the current cyclic context.
Time Bands (Weekly / Daily) Temporal visualization helps identify cyclic pivots and rhythm transitions.
🔹 ECA 2 – Market Excesses, Strength, and Energy
ECA 2 analyzes how the market moves within the cyclic structure.
Excesses and Divergences (Cyclic Stochastic) An oscillator calibrated on the same cyclic ratio as the suite. Crossovers between the lower cycle (blue) and upper cycle (red) signal potential phase changes. In areas of excess, divergences often confirm the closing and restart of a cycle.
Directional Movement System (DMS) The ADX measures the strength of the movement, while +DI and -DI indicate direction. A simultaneous crossover of ADX, +DI, and -DI signals imminent acceleration, even before the strength is fully expressed.
Market Pulse – Real Market Energy The Market Pulse measures the amount of real energy moving through the market by relating three factors:
Price Velocity
Normalized Volume
Volatility (ATR relative to price)
These three factors are combined multiplicatively: if one is missing, the impulse weakens. The zero line represents a state of energy equilibrium; values above or below indicate a real imbalance (bullish or bearish). Note: Market Pulse is not a classic oscillator and should not be interpreted as overbought or oversold; it is used to evaluate the energetic quality of a movement.
Operational Convergence
The maximum operational effectiveness of the ECA suite is achieved when all modules converge on the same market phase.
When cyclic timing, volatility, price structure, trend strength, and movement energy align, the context signals a high-probability operational phase. The system is applicable to any timeframe or asset because it is not bound by dogmatic or subjective interpretations of technical or fundamental analysis; instead, it leverages what is actually happening in the market. Major chart patterns and Volume Profile (technically not includable in this specific suite) provide further confirmation.
Under these conditions, the signal does not originate from a single indicator but from the consistency of the entire system: time, volatility, and energy moving in the same direction.
Entries should always be accompanied by proper risk management.

Clock&Flow – Elements of Cycle Analysis (ECA) | Suite Completa
Elements of Cycle Analysis (ECA) è una suite avanzata di analisi ciclica progettata per leggere il mercato attraverso tempo, struttura, forza ed energia, combinando cicli, volatilità e partecipazione in un unico framework operativo.
La suite è composta da due moduli complementari:
🔹 ECA 1 – Cicli, Struttura e Volatilità (overlay true)
ECA 1 è dedicato all’analisi strutturale e temporale del mercato.
SMA cicliche (ratio ciclica)
Le medie mobili sono calibrate in funzione dei cicli nominali e del timeframe per monitorare più cicli simultaneamente (dal ciclo inferiore fino ai cicli superiori).
Gli incroci tra SMA veloci e lente certificano la chiusura o transizione del ciclo correlato alla SMA più veloce. Il ciclo in questione è segnalato nella info table in basso a destra (per i time frame 15’ - 1h - 2h - 1D) Puoi selezionare il numero dei cicli da osservare e su quali asset applicarle (Index = quotazioni standard / Future = quotazioni estese / 50-200 i classici riferimenti istituzionali per il medio-lungo periodo
Canali ciclici dinamici basati su ATR
I canali rappresentano un ciclo inferiore e il suo superiore, l’ampiezza è data dal time frame osservato e calcolata sulla volatilità media (ATR).
La volatilità non è trattata come rumore, ma come componente strutturale del ciclo, utile per contestualizzare eccessi, compressioni ed espansioni.
Info Table e Quick Guide
Tabelle dinamiche collegano automaticamente SMA, timeframe e cicli temporali, fornendo una lettura immediata del contesto ciclico in corso.
Time Bands (Weekly / Daily)
La visualizzazione temporale aiuta a individuare pivot ciclici e transizioni di ritmo.

🔹 ECA 2 – Eccessi, Forza ed Energia del Mercato
ECA 2 analizza come il mercato si muove all’interno della struttura ciclica.
Eccessi e divergenze (Stochastic ciclico)
Oscillatore calibrato sulla stessa ratio ciclica della suite.
Gli incroci tra ciclo inferiore (blu) e superiore (rosso) segnalano potenziali cambi di fase; in area di eccesso, le divergenze certificano spesso la chiusura e ripartenza del ciclo.
Directional Movement System (DMS)
L’ADX misura la forza del movimento, mentre +DI e –DI ne indicano la direzione.
L’incrocio simultaneo di ADX, +DI e –DI segnala un’accelerazione imminente, anche in assenza di forza già espressa.
Market Pulse – Energia reale del mercato
Il Market Pulse misura quanta energia reale sta attraversando il mercato mettendo in relazione:
velocità del prezzo
volume normalizzato
volatilità (ATR rapportato al prezzo)
I tre fattori sono combinati in modo moltiplicativo: se uno manca, l’impulso si indebolisce.
La linea dello zero rappresenta una condizione di equilibrio energetico; valori sopra o sotto indicano uno sbilanciamento reale, rialzista o ribassista.
Il Market Pulse non è un oscillatore classico e non va interpretato in termini di ipercomprato o ipervenduto: serve a valutare la qualità energetica del movimento.
La massima efficacia operativa della suite ECA si ottiene quando tutti i moduli convergono sulla stessa fase di mercato.
Quando tempi ciclici, volatilità, struttura del prezzo, forza del trend ed energia del movimento risultano allineati, il contesto segnala una fase ad alta probabilità operativa.
È applicabile su qualunque time frame o asset perché non è vincolato a dogmatiche e soggettive interpretazioni di analisi tecnica - fondamentale ma sfrutta ciò che realmente sta accadendo sul mercato.
I principali pattern grafici e il Volume Profile (in questa suite tecnicamente non inseribili) forniscono ulteriori conferme e/o indicazioni.
In queste condizioni il segnale non nasce da un singolo indicatore, ma dalla coerenza dell’intero sistema: tempo, volatilità ed energia si muovono nella stessa direzione.
Gli ingressi vanno sempre accompagnati da una corretta gestione del rischio.

Daily: 1.0% account risk per trade
Weekly: 0.75% account risk per trade
Monthly: 0.5% account risk per trade
Formula:
Contracts = (Account Equity × Risk%) ÷ (Stop Points × $50)
Minimum = 1 contractStop Losses
Daily: 12 points ($600 per contract)
Weekly: 40 points ($2,000 per contract)
Monthly: 100 points ($5,000 per contract)
Profit Targets (Risk:Reward)
Daily: 2:1 = 24 points ($1,200 profit)
Weekly: 3:1 = 120 points ($6,000 profit)
Monthly: 4:1 = 400 points ($20,000 profit)
Example with $50,000 AccountDaily Trade:
Risk = $500 (1% of $50k)
Stop = 12 points × $50 = $600
Contracts = $500 ÷ $600 = 0.83 → 1 contract
Target = 24 points = $1,200 profit
Weekly Trade:
Risk = $375 (0.75% of $50k)
Stop = 40 points × $50 = $2,000
Contracts = $375 ÷ $2,000 = 0.18 → 1 contract
Target = 120 points = $6,000 profit
Monthly Trade:
Risk = $250 (0.5% of $50k)
Stop = 100 points × $50 = $5,000
Contracts = $250 ÷ $5,000 = 0.05 → 1 contract
Target = 400 points = $20,000 profit

🎯 HOW TO USE
For Trend Trading:
Accepted Long/Short backgrounds indicate confirmed participation—stay with the trend
Strong moves typically travel 1-1.5 ATR from VWAP with delta support
Use VWAP as dynamic support/resistance
Combine with momentum indicators (MACD, RSI) for confluence
Price above VWAP + Accepted Long state = bullish bias
Price below VWAP + Accepted Short state = bearish bias
For Mean Reversion:
Fade Long/Short states signal overextension without participation
Price beyond 1.5 ATR from VWAP with weak delta = potential reversal
Look for price return to VWAP when extended
Bollinger Band extremes + Fade state = high-probability mean reversion setup
VWAP acts as mean reversion anchor during range-bound sessions
For Risk Management:
Chop state = avoid new entries
Bollinger Band compression + Chop = pre-expansion zone (wait for breakout)
Delta compression after strong move = early exhaustion warning
State transitions (Accepted → Neutral → Fade) = tighten stops
Signal Confirmation:
Strongest setups occur when multiple factors align:
BB breakout + Accepted state + price above/below VWAP
Price rejection at BB bands + Fade state
VWAP support/resistance hold + state transition
Delta expansion + distance increasing + trend direction

Opposite Candle Zone Identifier (v6) - Extended🔍 Opposite Candle Zone Identifier (Extended)
Opposite Candle Zone Identifier is a price-action based indicator designed to identify potential reversal or absorption zones by detecting candles that move against the surrounding trend.
The indicator highlights a central opposite candle (or group of candles) that is surrounded by candles moving in the opposite direction, both before and after the central candle.
This structure often represents areas where institutional activity, absorption, or supply/demand imbalance may occur.
📌 How the Indicator Works
The indicator analyzes price action using three configurable blocks:
1️⃣ Candles Before (Backward)
A user-defined number of candles before the central candle(s) must follow a consistent trend:
Bullish candles for a bearish zone
Bearish candles for a bullish zone
2️⃣ Central Candle(s)
The core of the pattern:
Default: 1 opposite candle
Can be increased (up to 5) to adapt the indicator to lower timeframes or noisier markets
This central block must move against the previous trend, signaling a potential shift or absorption area.
3️⃣ Candles After (Forward)
A user-defined number of candles after the central candle(s) must resume the original trend, confirming the pattern.
⚠️ The signal is confirmed only after the “after” candles are completed.
This avoids repainting and ensures structural confirmation.
📐 Zone Concept
The highlighted central candle (or candles) can be used to define a price zone:
The high and low of the central candle(s) represent a potential supply or demand zone
These zones can be used for:
Reversal areas
Reaction zones
Entry refinement
Stop placement
⚙️ Inputs & Customization
Number of candles before
Controls how many candles must follow the initial trend.
Number of candles after
Defines how many candles are required for confirmation.
Central candles count
Default is 1, but can be increased (e.g. 2) for:
Lower timeframes
More reliable structure
Reduced noise
ATR-based offset
Labels are positioned using a dynamic ATR offset to improve chart readability across different markets and timeframes.
📈 Bullish & Bearish Zones
🟢 Bullish Zone
Bearish candles before
Bullish central candle(s)
Bearish candles after
Indicates potential demand or accumulation zone
🔴 Bearish Zone
Bullish candles before
Bearish central candle(s)
Bullish candles after

Liquid cryptocurrencies
Can be combined with:
Trend filters (EMA, VWAP)
Support & resistance
Market structure analysis
⚠️ Notes
This indicator is confirmation-based, not predictive
Signals appear only after pattern completion

Best used as a confluence tool, not as a standalone trading system
🎯 Summary
Opposite Candle Zone Identifier helps traders:
Detect opposite-direction candles within strong trends
Identify potential supply and demand zones
Adapt the pattern to different timeframes
Improve price-action based decision making
Delta Grid Delta Grid H/L/C (Approx)
Delta Grid H/L/C (Approx) is an order-flow style table that breaks down intrabar delta behavior per candle and displays it in a clean, easy-to-read grid below your chart.
Instead of guessing what happened inside a candle, this indicator shows you:
Delta High – the maximum aggressive buying reached within the bar
Delta Low – the maximum aggressive selling reached within the bar
Delta Final – where delta closed when the candle finished
All values are displayed in a stand-alone table, making it easy to scan recent bars and quickly spot momentum shifts, absorption, and potential trap behavior.
How It Works
This indicator approximates intrabar delta by:
Aggregating lower-timeframe volume
Classifying volume direction based on price movement
Tracking the running delta inside each candle
Recording the highest, lowest, and final delta values per bar
A heat-mapped background is applied to the Final Delta column:
Green shades = net aggressive buying
Red shades = net aggressive selling
Brighter colors = stronger imbalance relative to recent bars
Key Features
Stand-alone Delta Grid panel below the chart
Per-bar Delta High / Delta Low / Delta Final
Heat-mapped Final Delta for fast visual interpretation
Optional time column for precise bar reference
Adjustable lookback and scaling settings
Clean layout designed for futures, crypto, and index trading
How Traders Use It
This tool is ideal for:
Spotting absorption at highs and lows
Identifying failed breakouts and traps
Confirming trend strength or exhaustion
Reading order-flow shifts without footprint charts
Pairing with VWAP, Initial Balance, Supply & Demand, and Market Structure
Important Notes
This is an approximate delta calculation due to TradingView data limitations.
It does not use true bid/ask volume.
For true order-flow delta, a platform with native tick data (e.g., Tradovate or NinjaTrader) is required.
Recommended Settings
Use a lower timeframe (1s–15s if available) for better intrabar accuracy
Combine with key levels (VWAP, IBH/IBL, prior highs/lows) for best results

VixTrixVixTrix - Because markets move in both directions.
VixTrix was born from a fundamental limitation in traditional volatility indicators: they only measure downside panic, completely missing the greed-driven extremes that form market tops.
How It Works:
Dual-Component Analysis:
vixBear = Panic selling intensity (distance from recent highs)
vixBull = FOMO buying intensity (distance from recent lows)
Oscillator = vixBear - vixBull = Net fear/greed imbalance
When the oscillator is positive, fear dominates (potential bottom forming). When negative, greed dominates (potential top forming).
Professional-Grade Filtering:
The magic happens with the symmetric RMS (Root Mean Square) bands. Unlike fixed percentage bands or standard deviation, RMS:
Creates mathematically symmetric positive/negative thresholds
Naturally adapts to changing volatility regimes
Provides statistical significance to extremes
VixTrix also adds selectable MA smoothing for the RMS calculation:
WMA (default): Balanced – middle-ground approach
VWMA: Volume-weighted – filters low-volume noise
EMA: Responsive – catches quick reversals
SMA: Stable – for swing trading
HMA: Fast and smooth – ideal for day trading
Signals require triple confirmation:
Statistical Extreme: Oscillator beyond RMS band
Price Action Confirmation: Correct candle color (bullish for bottoms, bearish for tops)
Momentum Continuation: Oscillator still moving toward extreme (exhaustion)
This multi-filter approach reduces premature entries and false signals while maintaining early positioning at potential reversal points.
Why This Matters for Your Trading:
In bull markets, traditional fear indicators sit near zero, giving no warning of impending tops.
VixTrix identifies when greed becomes excessive – when FOMO buying reaches statistical extremes that often precede corrections.
In range-bound markets, VixTrix excels at identifying overreactions in both directions, providing high-probability mean reversion opportunities.
During crashes, it captures the panic selling with the same precision as VixFix, but with better timing through its momentum confirmation.
VixTrix spots continuations through:
"No Signal" = Healthy Trend – Oscillator stays between RMS bands (no exhaustion)
Failed Extremes – Touches band but no triple confirmation = trend likely continues
Hidden Divergence – Price makes higher low while oscillator makes shallower low = uptrend continues
Controlled Emotions – Oscillator negative but not extreme in uptrends (greed present but not excessive)
Key Insight: When VixTrix doesn't give a signal during a pullback, institutions aren't panicking – they're just pausing before resuming the trend.
Green columns = Bullish exhaustion (potential bottoms)
Red columns = Bearish exhaustion (potential tops)
Golden RMS bands = Dynamic thresholds adapting to current volatility
Background highlights = Active signal conditions
The Result: A professional-grade oscillator that works in all market conditions – trending up, trending down, or ranging – by measuring the complete emotional spectrum driving price action.

Array-based MA alignment calculation
State variables to track signal spacing
This is a professional-grade trading system that combines classical technical analysis (moving averages) with modern institutional concepts (market structure, order blocks, multi-timeframe alignment).
The extensive filtering system is designed to eliminate noise and focus on high-probability trade setups.
TedAlpha – Structure / FVG / OB Sessions:
Only looks for trades when price is inside your defined London or NY time blocks.
CHOCH:
Uses pivots to track swing highs/lows, then flags a bullish CHOCH when structure flips from LL/LH to HH/HL, and vice versa for bearish.
FVG:
Detects 3-candle imbalance and keeps the zone “active” for fvgLookback bars, then checks if price trades back into it.
Order Blocks:
On a CHOCH, grabs the last opposite candle (bearish before bull CHOCH = bullish OB, bullish before bear CHOCH = bearish OB) and marks its body as the OB zone.
Signal:
A valid long = bull CHOCH + in session + (price inside bullish FVG and/or bullish OB, depending on toggles).
Short is the mirror image.
RR 1:3:
SL uses the last swing low (for longs) or last swing high (for shorts), TP is auto-set at 3× that distance and plotted as lines.
Fair Value Gap Signals [Kodexius]Fair Value Gap Signals is an advanced market structure tool that automatically detects and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), evaluates the quality of each gap, and highlights high value reaction zones with visual metrics and signal markers.
The script is designed for traders who focus on liquidity concepts, order flow and mean reversion. It goes beyond basic FVG plotting by continuously monitoring how price interacts with each gap and by quantifying three key aspects of each zone:
-Entry velocity inside the gap
-Volume absorption during tests
-Structural integrity and depth of penetration
The result is a dynamic, information rich visualization of which gaps are being respected, which are being absorbed, and where potential reversals or continuations are most likely to occur.
All visual elements are configurable, including the maximum number of visible gaps per direction, mitigation method (close or wick) and an ATR based filter to ignore insignificant gaps in low volatility environments.
🔹 Features
🔸 Automated Fair Value Gap Detection
The script detects both bullish and bearish FVGs based on classic three candle logic:
Bullish FVG: current low is strictly above the high from two bars ago
Bearish FVG: current high is strictly below the low from two bars ago
🔸 ATR Based Gap Filter
To avoid clutter and low quality signals, the script can ignore very small gaps using an ATR based filter.
🔸Per Gap State Machine and Lifecycle
Each gap is tracked with an internal status:
Fresh: gap has just formed and has not been tested
Testing: price is currently trading inside the gap
Tested: gap was tested and left, waiting for a potential new test
Rejected: price entered the gap and then rejected away from it
Filled: gap is considered fully mitigated and no longer active
This state machine allows the script to distinguish between simple touches, multiple tests and meaningful reversals, and to trigger different alerts accordingly.
🔸 Visual Ranking of Gaps by Metrics
For each active gap, three additional horizontal rank bars are drawn on top of the gap area:
Rank 1 (Vel): maximum entry velocity inside the gap
Rank 2 (Vol): relative test volume compared to average volume
Rank 3 (Dpt): remaining safety of the gap based on maximum penetration depth
These rank bars extend horizontally from the creation bar, and their length is a visual score between 0 and 1, scaled to the age of the gap. Longer bars represent stronger or more favorable conditions.
🔸Signals and Rejection Markers
When a gap shows signs of rejection (price enters the gap and then closes away from it with sufficient activity), the script can print a signal label at the reaction point. These markers summarize the internal metrics of the gap using a tooltip:
-Velocity percentage
-Volume percentage
-Safety score
-Number of tests
🔸 Flexible Mitigation Logic (Close or Wick)
You can choose how mitigation is defined via the Mitigation Method input:
Close: the gap is considered filled only when the closing price crosses the gap boundary
Wick: a full fill is detected as soon as any wick crosses the gap boundary
🔸 Alert Conditions
-New FVG formed
-Price entering a gap (testing)
-Gap fully filled and invalidated
-Rejection signal generated
🔹Calculations
This section summarizes the main calculations used under the hood. Only the core logic is covered.
1. ATR Filter and Gap Size
The script uses a configurable ATR length to filter out small gaps. First the ATR is computed:
float atrVal = ta.atr(atrLength)
Gap size for both directions is then measured:
float gapSizeBull = low - high
float gapSizeBear = low - high
If useAtrFilter is enabled, gaps smaller than atrVal are ignored. This ties the minimum gap size to the current volatility regime.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
The basic FVG conditions use a three bar structure:
bool fvgBull = low > high
bool fvgBear = high < low
For bullish gaps the script stores:
-top as low of the current bar
-bottom as high
For bearish gaps:
-top as high of the current bar
-bottom as low
This defines the price range that is considered the imbalance area.
3. Depth and Safety Score
Depth measures how far price has penetrated into the gap since its creation. For each bar, the script computes a currentDepth and updates the maximum depth:
float currentDepth = 0.0
if g.isBullish
if l < g.top
currentDepth := g.top - l
else
if h > g.bottom
currentDepth := h - g.bottom
if currentDepth > g.maxDepth
g.maxDepth := currentDepth
The safety score expresses how much of the gap remains intact:
float depthRatio = g.maxDepth / gapSize
float safetyScore = math.max(0.0, 1.0 - depthRatio)
safetyScore near 1: gap is mostly untouched
safetyScore near 0: gap is mostly or fully filled
4. Velocity Metric
Velocity captures how aggressively price moves inside the gap. It is based on the body to range ratio of each bar that trades within the gap and rewards bars that move in the same direction as the gap:
float barRange = h - l
float bodyRatio = math.abs(close - open) / barRange
float directionBonus = 0.0
if g.isBullish and close > open
directionBonus := 0.2
else if not g.isBullish and close < open
directionBonus := 0.2
float currentVelocity = math.min(bodyRatio + directionBonus, 1.0)
The gap keeps track of the strongest observed value:
if currentVelocity > g.maxVelocity
g.maxVelocity := currentVelocity
This maximum is later used as velScore when building the velocity rank bar.
5. Volume Accumulation and Volume Score
While price is trading inside a gap, the script accumulates the traded volume:
if isInside
g.testVolume += volume
It also keeps track of the number of tests and the volume at the start of the first test:
if g.status == "Fresh"
g.status := "Testing"
g.testCount := 1
g.testStartVolume := volume
An average volume is computed using a 20 period SMA:
float volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
The expected volume is approximated as:
float expectedVol = volAvg * math.max(1, (bar_index - g.index) / 2)
The volume score is then:
float volScore = math.min(g.testVolume / expectedVol, 1.0)
This produces a normalized 0 to 1 metric that shows whether the gap has attracted more or less volume than expected over its lifetime.
6. Rank Bar Scaling
All three scores are projected visually along the time axis as horizontal bars. The script uses the age of the gap in bars as the maximum width:
float maxWidth = math.max(bar_index - g.index, 1)
Then each metric is mapped to a bar length:
int len1 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * velScore))
g.rankBox1.set_right(g.index + len1)
int len2 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * volScore))
g.rankBox2.set_right(g.index + len2)
int len3 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * safetyScore))
g.rankBox3.set_right(g.index + len3)
This creates an intuitive visual representation where stronger metrics produce longer rank bars, making it easy to quickly compare the relative quality of multiple FVGs on the chart.
