Indicator Description (English)
Name: Trend Strength LSMA-Based
Overview:
This indicator is designed to measure the strength and exhaustion of a trend based on the Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA). It combines price, trend slope, volume, and volatility to calculate a trend exhaustion score, which is then smoothed and visualized as a colored area on the chart. The indicator also plots discrete points to signal potential reversals or decreases in trend intensity.
Key Features:
LSMA-Based Trend Strength:
Calculates a Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) of the selected timeframe.
Measures the slope of the LSMA to capture trend direction and momentum.
Trend Exhaustion Score:
Combines multiple factors:
Distance between price and LSMA
LSMA slope (trend strength)
Volume relative to its moving average
ATR-based volatility
Each factor is weighted according to user-defined inputs.
The combined score is multiplied to produce a scaled trend exhaustion value.
Smoothed Area Plot:
The trend exhaustion score is smoothed using an EMA to reduce noise.
Displayed as a colored area that changes based on trend strength:
Strong bullish exhaustion → dark green
Weak bullish exhaustion → light green
Strong bearish exhaustion → dark red
Weak bearish exhaustion → light red
Neutral → gray
Dynamic Visual Cues:
Points for reversals: small green/red circles appear when the trend changes direction.
Points for intensity decrease: small green/red circles appear when the trend weakens but has not yet reversed.
The area’s color intensity dynamically reflects the strength of the trend exhaustion, making it visually intuitive.
Multi-Timeframe Support:
The indicator can calculate the trend exhaustion based on a different timeframe from the chart, allowing for higher timeframe trend analysis on lower timeframe charts.
Customizable Settings:
LSMA period, smoothing length, volume period, ATR period
Weighting for each factor in the score calculation
Thresholds for weak/strong exhaustion
Timeframe selection
Usage:
Identify when a trend is losing strength or approaching a potential reversal.
Helps visualize the current momentum and exhaustion of bullish or bearish trends.
Can be used in conjunction with other technical tools for confirming entries or exits.
Important Note:
Depending on the asset, market volatility, and timeframe, it may be necessary to adjust the indicator settings to optimize its responsiveness and accuracy. The default parameters provide a general starting point but fine-tuning is recommended for best results.

ATR ZigZag - Volatility-Filtered Market StructureDescription
This indicator draws ZigZags using an ATR based threshold for direction switching to identify major swing highs and lows. Instead of relying on fractals or fixed bar-count swings, pivots are confirmed only when price moves beyond the prior extreme by:
threshold = ATR(length) × ATR_mult
This filters noise, enforces valid swing structure (high → low → high), and adapts automatically to volatility. The ATR ZigZag is ideal for traders who want a clean, objective view of swing structure without noise. This has many uses, including mapping swing structure, drawing chart patterns, and trading around extremes.
Lag and Repainting
Pivots are confirmed only after price moves sufficiently in the opposite direction. This creates necessary lag. The ZigZag is drawn when this occurs, and will anchor to the high/low in the past. Optional detection dot plots show exactly when confirmation occurred.
What You See
ZigZag: dashed gray line, repainted to anchor at the confirmed highs and lows
Latest Pivot Levels: Dashed horizontal lines at the most recent confirmed high/low.
Optional Live Swing Leg: A real-time line from the last confirmed pivot to the current swing extreme, updating until a new pivot forms.
Optional ATR Boxes: 1×ATR shaded zones around the latest pivot for structural context.
Optional Pivot Confirmation Dots: Markers show the bar where the threshold is crossed and a swing is officially confirmed. This is to understand the lag and see when the ZigZag repainted.
3 Lines RCI + Psy Signal + RSI Background📌 3 Lines RCI + Psy Signal + RSI Background
This indicator combines three RCI lines, Psychological Line signals, RSI-based background highlights, and ADX strength detection to visualize market momentum, trend strength, and potential reversal zones.
🔍 Main Features
📌 1. Triple RCI (Rank Correlation Index)
Displays Short / Mid / Long RCI
Detects momentum shifts and trend reversals
Highlight zones:
Overbought: +80 ~ +100 (Red Zone)
Oversold: -80 ~ -100 (Green Zone)
📌 2. Psychological Line Signal
Column bars appear only in extreme conditions:
Overbought → Red Bars
Oversold → Green Bars
Helps detect short-term sentiment extremes
📌 3. RSI Background Highlight
Red Background: RSI > Overbought threshold
Green Background: RSI < Oversold threshold
Provides a visual cue of underlying market pressure.
📌 4. ADX Trend Strength
ADX line color shows strength level:
Blue: Weak trend
Yellow: Moderate trend
Red: Strong trend
Useful to identify whether signals occur in a trend or range state.
🎯 Trading Usage Tips
RCI + RSI + Psy confluence can identify strong reversal timing.
Use signals only when ADX is weak or moderate to avoid counter-trading a strong trend.
Combine short/mid RCI crossovers with extreme zones for potential entry timing.

ATR ZigZag BreakoutATR ZigZag Breakout
This strategy uses my ATR ZigZag indicator (powered by the ZigZagCore library) to scalp breakouts at volatility-filtered highs and lows.
Everyone knows stops cluster around clear swing highs and lows. Breakout traders often pile in there, too. These levels are predictable areas where aggressive orders hit the tape. The idea here is simple:
→ Let ATR ZigZag define clean, volatility-filtered pivots
→ Arm a stop market order at those pivots
→ Join the breakout when the crowd hits the level
The key to greater success in this simple strategy lies in the ZigZag. Because the pivots are filtered by ATR instead of fixed bar counts or fractals, the levels tend to be more meaningful and less noisy.
This approach is especially suited for intraday trading on volatile instruments (e.g., NQ, GC, liquid crypto pairs).
How It Works
1. Pivot detection
The ATR ZigZag uses an ATR-based threshold to confirm swing highs and lows. Only when price has moved far enough in the opposite direction does a pivot become “official.”
2. Candidate breakout level
When a new swing direction is detected and the most recent high/low has not yet been broken in the current leg, the strategy arms a stop market order at that pivot.
• Long candidate → most recent swing high
• Short candidate → most recent swing low
These “candidate trades” are shown as dotted lines.
3. Entry, SL, and TP
If price breaks through the level, the stop order is filled and a bracket is placed:
• Stop loss = ATR × SL multiplier
• Take profit = SL distance × RR multiplier
Once a level has traded, it is not reused in the same swing leg.
4. Cancel & rotate
If the market reverses and forms a new swing in the opposite direction before the level is hit, the pending order is cancelled and a new candidate is considered in the new direction.
Additional Features
• Optional session filter for backtesting specific trading hours
Adaptive Volatility Stop by Pedro Paulo de MeloStop ATR is a clean and reliable volatility-based trailing stop system, built to adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR).
It identifies trend direction, adjusts the stop level using stair-step logic, and automatically flips the stop when price reversals occur.
How it works
Uses ATR × Multiplier to calculate an adaptive volatility buffer
Tracks trend direction internally
Recomputes and repositions the stop when a trend flip is detected
Plots separate lines for bullish and bearish stop states
Works on any market and timeframe (crypto, forex, commodities, indices, stocks)
Why it’s useful
This Stop ATR implementation is extremely stable and visually clean.
It is particularly effective for:
Trend following
Position management
Swing and position trading
Systematic stop placement
Unlike many ATR-based stop versions, this script uses a corrected flip-handling method that prevents stop misalignment and ensures consistent trend state tracking.
Inputs
Period — ATR length
Multiplier — ATR factor that defines stop distance

Luxy VWAP Magic - MTF Projection EngineThis indicator transforms the classic VWAP into a comprehensive trading system. Instead of switching between multiple indicators, you get everything in one place: multi-timeframe analysis, statistical bands, momentum detection, volume profiling, session tracking, and divergence signals.
What Makes This Different
Traditional VWAP indicators show a single line. This tool treats VWAP as a foundation for complete market analysis. The indicator automatically detects your asset type (stocks, crypto, forex, futures) and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Crypto traders get 24/7 session tracking. Stock traders get proper market hours handling. Everyone gets institutional-grade analytics.
Anchor Period Options
The anchor period determines when VWAP resets and recalculates. You have three categories of options:
Time-Based Anchors:
Session - Resets at market open. Best for intraday stock trading where you want fresh VWAP each day.
Day - Resets at midnight UTC. Standard option for most traders.
Week / Month / Quarter / Year - Longer reset periods for swing traders and position traders who want broader context.
Rolling Window Anchors:
Rolling 5D - A sliding 5-day window that never resets. Solves the Monday problem where weekly VWAP equals daily VWAP on first day of week.
Rolling 21D - Approximately one month of trading data in continuous calculation. Excellent for crypto and forex markets that trade 24/7 without clear session breaks.
Event-Based Anchors:
Dividends - Resets on ex-dividend dates. Track institutional cost basis from dividend events.
Splits - Resets on stock split dates. Useful for analyzing post-split trading behavior.
Earnings - Resets on earnings report dates. See where volume-weighted trading occurred since last quarterly report.
Standard Deviation Bands
Three sets of bands surround the main VWAP line:
Band 1 (Aqua) - Plus and minus one standard deviation. Approximately 68% of price action occurs within this range under normal distribution. Touches suggest minor extension.
Band 2 (Fuchsia) - Plus and minus two standard deviations. Only 5% of trading should occur outside this range statistically. Touches here indicate significant overextension and high probability of mean reversion.
Band 3 (Purple) - Plus and minus three standard deviations. Touches are rare (0.3% probability) and represent extreme conditions. Often marks climax moves or panic selling/buying.
Each band can be toggled independently. Most traders show Band 1 by default and add Band 2 and 3 for specific setups or volatile instruments.
Multi-Timeframe VWAP System
The MTF section plots previous period VWAPs as horizontal support and resistance levels:
Daily VWAP - Previous day's final VWAP value. Key intraday reference level.
Weekly VWAP - Previous week's final VWAP. Important for swing traders.
Monthly VWAP - Previous month's final VWAP. Institutional benchmark level.
Quarterly VWAP - Previous quarter's final VWAP. Major support/resistance for position traders.
Previous Day VWAP - Yesterday's closing VWAP specifically, separate from current daily calculation.
The Confluence Zone percentage setting determines how close multiple VWAPs must be to trigger a confluence alert. When two or more timeframe VWAPs converge within this threshold, you get a high-probability support/resistance zone.
Session VWAPs for Global Markets
For forex, crypto, and futures traders who operate in 24/7 markets, the indicator tracks three major global sessions:
Asia Session - UTC 21:00 to 08:00. Gold colored line. Typically lower volatility, range-bound action that sets overnight levels.
London Session - UTC 08:00 to 17:00. Orange colored line. Often determines daily direction with high volume European participation.
New York Session - UTC 13:00 to 22:00. Blue colored line. Highest volume session globally. Sharp directional moves common.
Previous session VWAP values display as horizontal lines when each session closes, acting as intraday support and resistance. The table shows which sessions are currently active with checkmarks.
On-Chart Labels and Signals
The indicator plots several types of labels directly on price action when significant events occur:
Volume Spike Labels
Fire when current bar volume exceeds configurable thresholds relative to both the previous bar and the 20-bar average. Default settings require 300% of previous bar AND 200% of average volume. Green labels indicate bullish candles. Red labels indicate bearish candles. These spikes often mark institutional entry points.
Momentum Shift Labels
Appear when VWAP acceleration changes direction. The Slowing label warns when an active trend loses steam, often preceding reversal. The Accelerating label confirms trend continuation or potential bottom during downtrends. Filters available to show only reversal signals in existing trends.
VWAP Squeeze Labels
Detect when standard deviation bands contract relative to ATR (Average True Range). Low volatility compression often precedes explosive breakout moves. When the squeeze fires (releases), a label appears with directional prediction based on VWAP slope.
Divergence Labels
Mark price/volume divergences using CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) analysis:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low, but CVD makes higher low. Hidden accumulation despite price weakness.
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high, but CVD makes lower high. Hidden distribution despite price strength.
Dynamic VWAP Coloring
The main VWAP line changes color based on its slope direction:
Green - VWAP is rising. Institutional buying pressure. Volume-weighted price increasing.
Red - VWAP is falling. Institutional selling pressure. Volume-weighted price decreasing.
Gray - VWAP is flat. Consolidation or balance between buyers and sellers.
This coloring can be disabled for a static blue line if you prefer cleaner visuals. The VWAP label next to the line shows the current trend direction and delta percentage.
Calculated Projection Cone
One of the most powerful features is the Calculated Projection Cone. Unlike traditional extrapolation methods that simply extend a trend line forward, this system analyzes what actually happened in similar market conditions throughout the chart's history.
How It Works:
The system classifies each bar into one of 27 unique market states:
Z-Score Level - LOW (oversold), MID (fair value), or HIGH (overbought) based on configurable thresholds
Trend Direction - DOWN, FLAT, or UP based on VWAP slope
Volume Profile - LOW (below 80%), NORMAL (80-150%), or HIGH (above 150%) relative volume
When you look at the current bar, the indicator:
1. Identifies the current market state (e.g., LOW Z-Score + UP Trend + HIGH Volume)
2. Searches through all historical bars on the chart that had the same state
3. Calculates what happened in those bars X bars later (where X is your projection horizon)
4. Shows you the probability of up/down and the average move size
Visual Elements:
Probability Cone - Colored green (bullish probability above 55%), red (bearish below 45%), or gold (neutral). The cone width represents the historical range of outcomes (roughly the 20th to 80th percentile).
Center Line - Shows the average expected price based on historical outcomes in similar conditions.
Probability Label - Displays direction probability and average move. Example: "67% UP (+0.8%)" means 67% of similar past cases moved up, averaging 0.8% gain.
Fallback System:
When the exact 27-state match has insufficient historical data:
First fallback: Uses Z-Score plus Trend only (9 broader states, ignoring volume)
Second fallback: Uses Z-Score only (3 states)
When fallback is active, confidence automatically adjusts
Settings:
Projection Horizon - How many bars forward to analyze outcomes (5, 10, 15, or 20 bars, default 10)
Lookback Period - Historical data window in days (30-252, default 60)
Minimum Samples - Cases needed before using fallback (5-30, default 10)
Z-Score Threshold - Bucket boundary for LOW/MID/HIGH classification (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 sigma)
Cloud Transparency - Adjust visibility (50-95%)
Colors - Customize bullish, bearish, and neutral cone colors
Confidence Levels:
HIGH - 30 or more similar historical cases found
MEDIUM - 15-29 similar cases
LOW - Fewer than 15 cases (more uncertainty)
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The Calculated Projection is based on past patterns only. It is NOT a price prediction or financial advice. Similar market states in the past do not guarantee similar outcomes in the future. The probability shown is historical frequency, not a guarantee. Always combine with other analysis and never rely solely on projections for trading decisions.
Alert Conditions
The indicator includes over 20 pre-built alert conditions:
Price vs VWAP:
Price crosses above VWAP
Price crosses below VWAP
Band Touches:
Price touches plus or minus one sigma band
Price touches plus or minus two sigma band (extreme)
Price touches plus or minus three sigma band (very extreme)
Z-Score Extremes:
Z-Score crosses above plus two (overbought extreme)
Z-Score crosses below minus two (oversold extreme)
Momentum and Trend:
Momentum slowing
Momentum accelerating
Trend turns bullish/bearish/neutral
Volume:
Volume spike detected
CVD Direction:
Buyers take control
Sellers take control
High Probability Signals:
Bullish reversal signal (oversold plus accelerating momentum)
Bearish reversal signal (overbought plus slowing momentum)
MTF and Special:
MTF confluence zone entry
VWAP squeeze fired
Bullish/Bearish divergence detected
Any significant signal (catch-all)
All signals use confirmed bar data to prevent false alerts from incomplete candles.

The Info Table - Your Trading Dashboard
The right side of your chart displays a compact table with up to twelve metrics.
Row-by-Row Breakdown:
Asset and Period - Shows what the indicator detected (US Stock, Crypto, Forex, etc.) and your selected anchor period. The detection happens automatically based on exchange data, so VWAP resets and calculations match your actual trading instrument.
Delta Percentage - How far current price sits from VWAP, expressed as a percentage. Positive means price trades above fair value. Negative means below. Large delta values (beyond 1-2%) often precede mean reversion moves. Day traders watch this for overextension.
Z-Score - Statistical deviation from VWAP measured in standard deviations. Unlike raw delta, Z-Score accounts for volatility. A 2% move in a volatile biotech stock differs from 2% in a stable utility. Z-Score normalizes this. Values beyond plus or minus two sigma occur only 5% of the time statistically.
Trend Direction - Whether VWAP itself is rising, falling, or flat. Rising VWAP means the volume-weighted average price is increasing, which indicates institutional accumulation. Falling VWAP suggests distribution. This differs from price trend since it weights by volume.
Momentum State - Is the trend accelerating or slowing down? This measures the rate of change in VWAP slope. When an uptrend shows slowing momentum, it often precedes reversal. Accelerating momentum in a downtrend can signal capitulation and potential bottom.
Relative Volume - Current bar volume compared to the 20-bar average, shown as percentage. Values above 150% indicate above-average activity. Spikes above 200-300% often mark institutional involvement. Low volume (below 80%) warns of potential fake moves.
MTF Bias - Four checkmarks or X marks showing whether price sits above or below Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Quarterly VWAP. Four checkmarks means strong bullish alignment across all timeframes. Four X marks indicates bearish alignment. Mixed readings suggest consolidation or transition.
Band Probabilities - Historical statistics showing how often price touched each standard deviation band over your lookback period. This helps you understand if mean reversion or trend following works better for your specific instrument.
Session Status - Which global trading sessions are currently active (Asia, London, New York). Shows checkmarks for active sessions. Important for forex and crypto traders who need to know when major liquidity windows open and close.
Divergence State - Whether the indicator detects bullish or bearish divergence between price and cumulative volume delta. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes lower lows but buying pressure (CVD) makes higher lows, suggesting hidden accumulation.
Confidence Score - A weighted composite of all factors displayed as a progress bar and percentage. Combines MTF alignment, Z-Score, trend direction, volume delta, momentum, and relative volume into a single 0-100 score. Higher scores indicate stronger conviction setups.
Calculated Projection - When the Projection Cone is enabled, shows the historical probability of price direction and expected move. For example: "▲ 67% (+0.8%)" means in similar market states historically, price moved up 67% of the time with an average gain of 0.8%. The system analyzes 27 unique market states based on Z-Score, Trend, and Volume conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Day Trading Stocks:
Use Session anchor with Band 1 visible. Watch for price returning to VWAP after morning move. Volume spikes near VWAP often mark institutional accumulation zones.
Swing Trading:
Use Weekly or Rolling 21D anchor. Enable MTF lines for Daily and Weekly levels. Trade pullbacks to these levels in direction of MTF bias.
Crypto and Forex:
Enable Session VWAPs. Use Rolling anchors to avoid artificial resets. Monitor session transitions for breakout opportunities.
Mean Reversion:
Focus on Z-Score reaching plus or minus two. Add Band 2 visibility. Combine with slowing momentum for highest probability reversals.
Trend Following:
Watch MTF bias alignment. Four checkmarks plus accelerating momentum plus high volume confirms trend continuation setups.
Projection Planning:
Enable the Calculated Projection to see what happened historically in similar market conditions. Use 5-10 bars for intraday setups, 15-20 bars for swing trade planning. Focus on high probability readings (above 60%) with HIGH confidence (30 or more samples). The cone shows the probable range of outcomes based on actual historical data. Combine with other factors like MTF alignment and volume for higher conviction setups.
Important Notes
The indicator does not repaint. MTF values use previous period's confirmed data.
Rolling VWAP works best on 15-minute timeframes and above due to bar lookback requirements.
Session VWAPs apply to global markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). Enable the all-assets option for stocks if desired.
Volume data for forex represents tick volume, not actual traded volume.
All alert conditions fire only on confirmed (closed) bars to prevent false signals.
The Calculated Projection updates each bar as market state changes. This is expected behavior. The projection shows probabilities based on similar past conditions, not a fixed prediction.
Q AND A
Q: Does this indicator repaint?
A: No. The main VWAP calculation uses standard TradingView VWAP methodology. Multi-timeframe values use previous period's confirmed data with appropriate lookahead settings. All alert signals require bar confirmation.
Q: Why does my Rolling VWAP look different on 1-minute versus 15-minute charts?
A: Rolling VWAP calculates across a fixed number of trading days. On very short timeframes, the bar lookback may hit TradingView limits. For best Rolling VWAP accuracy, use 15-minute or higher timeframes.
Q: Can I use this on any instrument?
A: Yes. The indicator automatically detects asset type and adjusts behavior. Stocks use standard market hours. Crypto uses 24/7 calculations. Forex uses tick volume. Everything adapts automatically.
Q: What does the Confidence Score actually measure?
A: The score combines six weighted factors: MTF alignment (25%), Z-Score position (20%), Trend direction (20%), CVD pressure (15%), Momentum state (10%), and Relative volume (10%). Higher scores indicate more factors aligned in one direction.
Q: Why are Session VWAPs not showing on my stock chart?
A: Session VWAPs apply to 24-hour markets by default (forex, crypto, futures). For stocks, enable the Use for All Assets option in Session VWAP settings.
Q: The Divergence labels appear delayed. Is this a bug?
A: Divergence detection requires pivot confirmation, which needs bars on both sides of the pivot point. The label appears at the actual pivot location (several bars back) once confirmed. This is intentional and prevents false signals.
Q: Can I change the band colors?
A: Yes. Each of the three bands has its own color input setting. You can customize Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3 colors to match your preferences. The defaults are Aqua, Fuchsia, and Purple. The main VWAP line color adapts dynamically based on slope direction or can be set to static blue.
Q: How do I set up alerts?
A: Right-click on the chart, select Add Alert, choose this indicator, and select your desired condition from the dropdown. All conditions include descriptive alert messages with relevant data.
Q: What is the Probability Engine lookback period?
A: This setting determines how many trading days the indicator analyzes to calculate band touch rates and mean reversion statistics. Default is 60 days (approximately 3 months). Longer periods provide more stable statistics but may miss recent behavior changes.
Q: Why do I see fewer labels than expected?
A: Signal labels (Volume, Momentum, Squeeze, Divergence) are limited to 5 most recent labels on the chart to keep it clean. When a new label appears, the oldest one is automatically removed. Additionally, momentum labels have several filters: check the slope multiplier setting (higher values require stronger trends) and the Only Reversal Signals option (when enabled, labels only appear for potential reversals, not trend confirmations).
Q: What is the Calculated Projection and how accurate is it?
A: The Calculated Projection analyzes what happened in past market conditions similar to the current state. It classifies each bar by Z-Score level, Trend direction, and Volume profile (27 unique states), then shows the historical probability of up vs down and the average move size. It is NOT a price prediction or guarantee. The probability shown is how often similar conditions led to up/down moves historically, not a future guarantee. Always use it as one input among many.
Q: Why does the Projection probability change?
A: The projection updates on each bar as market state changes. If Z-Score moves from LOW to MID, or trend shifts from UP to FLAT, the system looks up a different historical category. This is expected behavior. The projection shows what happened in similar past conditions to the current bar's state.
Q: The Projection shows LOW confidence. What does that mean?
A: Confidence levels indicate sample size: HIGH means 30 or more historical cases found, MEDIUM means 15-29 cases, LOW means fewer than 15 cases. When sample size is low, the system uses a fallback: first aggregating by Z-Score plus Trend only (ignoring volume), then by Z-Score only. LOW confidence means less statistical reliability, so weight other factors more heavily in your decision.
Q: Why does the cone sometimes show 50/50 probability?
A: A 50/50 reading means that in similar past market states, price moved up roughly half the time and down half the time. This indicates a neutral or balanced condition where historical patterns provide no directional edge. Consider waiting for a higher probability setup or using other analysis methods.

Liquidity Heatmap [Eˣ]💧 Liquidity Heatmap - Free Indicator
Overview
The Liquidity Heatmap reveals where stop losses are clustered in the market - the hidden liquidity zones that smart money targets. This indicator automatically identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) above price and Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) below price, showing you exactly where institutional traders are likely to hunt for stops before major moves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Identifies Liquidity Zones:
• Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) - Stop losses from SHORT positions clustered above price
• Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) - Stop losses from LONG positions clustered below price
• Automatically clusters nearby levels into high-probability zones
• Shows liquidity strength (1-5+) - higher numbers = more stops = bigger target
• Removes swept liquidity in real-time as price takes out stops
Visual Display:
• 🔴 Red Zones Above Price = Buy-Side Liquidity (shorts' stops)
• 🟢 Green Zones Below Price = Sell-Side Liquidity (longs' stops)
• Thicker/Darker Zones = Higher liquidity concentration
• BSL/SSL Labels = Show exact strength count
• Triangle Markers = Liquidity sweep alerts (when price takes stops)
Smart Features:
• Auto-removes old liquidity (customizable lookback period)
• Clusters nearby levels to reduce noise
• Tracks liquidity strength and age
• Updates in real-time as new swing points form
• Alerts when major liquidity zones are swept
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 How To Use This Indicator
Understanding Liquidity Concepts
What is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to clusters of stop loss orders sitting in the market. These stops represent:
• Long traders' stop losses (below support) = Sell-Side Liquidity
• Short traders' stop losses (above resistance) = Buy-Side Liquidity
Why Does This Matter?
• Institutions NEED liquidity to fill large orders
• Price often "sweeps" liquidity zones before reversing
• Major liquidity = major target for smart money
• Understanding liquidity = understanding market maker behavior
The Liquidity Cycle:
1. Retail traders place stops at obvious levels (swing highs/lows)
2. Smart money identifies these clusters
3. Price is pushed to sweep the stops (liquidity grab)
4. Institutions fill their orders with this liquidity
5. Price reverses in the opposite direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Sweep Reversals
Best For: Swing trading, catching reversals
Timeframes: 15min, 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Identify strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zone below price
2. Wait for price to sweep down into the SSL zone
3. Look for rejection/reversal candle pattern (pin bar, engulfing)
4. Enter LONG after sweep and reversal confirmation
5. Stop loss: Below the swept liquidity zone
6. Target: Opposite liquidity zone or key resistance
Why It Works: Smart money sweeps stops to fill buy orders, then pushes price higher
Example:
• SSL zone at $45,000 with strength 3
• Price drops to $44,950, sweeps the SSL
• Strong bullish reversal candle forms
• Enter long at $45,100
• Target: BSL zone at $47,000
Strategy 2: Liquidity-to-Liquidity Runs
Best For: Day trading, scalping
Timeframes: 5min, 15min, 1H
Entry Setup:
1. Price sweeps Sell-Side Liquidity below and reverses up
2. Identify Buy-Side Liquidity zone above
3. Enter LONG targeting the BSL zone above
4. Exit near/at the BSL zone (don't wait for sweep)
5. Stop loss: Below recent swing low
Why It Works: Price moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool
Variation - Reverse for Shorts:
• BSL sweep above → Look for SSL zone below
• Enter short targeting lower liquidity
Strategy 3: Liquidity Avoidance (Stop Placement)
Best For: Improving win rate on existing strategies
Timeframes: All
Rules:
1. NEVER place stops exactly at obvious liquidity zones
2. Place stops beyond the liquidity zone with buffer
3. Or place stops before the liquidity zone (tighter, riskier)
4. Monitor liquidity strength - avoid zones with strength 3+
Why It Works: Market makers hunt obvious stop clusters
Example:
• Trading long, swing low at $100 (SSL zone, strength 4)
• Bad: Stop at $99.50 (will get swept)
• Better: Stop at $98.50 (beyond the liquidity)
• Alternative: Stop at $100.50 (tighter, before sweep zone)
Strategy 4: Confluence Trading
Best For: High probability setups
Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
Entry Setup:
1. Find liquidity zone that aligns with:
• Major support/resistance level
• Fibonacci retracement (0.618, 0.786)
• Trendline
• Round psychological number ($50,000, $2,000, etc)
2. Wait for sweep of this high-confluence zone
3. Enter on reversal with multiple confirmations
4. Larger position size justified by confluence
Why It Works: Multiple factors = institutional interest = higher probability

⚙️ Settings Explained
Core Settings
Swing Detection Length (Default: 10)
• Number of bars left/right to identify swing highs and lows
• Lower values (5-8): More sensitive, more liquidity zones, more noise
• Higher values (12-20): Less sensitive, only major swings, cleaner chart
• Recommended: 8-10 for intraday, 10-15 for swing trading
Liquidity Lookback Bars (Default: 100)
• How many historical bars to track liquidity zones
• Lower values (50-75): Shows only recent liquidity
• Higher values (100-200): Shows longer-term liquidity clusters
• Zones older than this are automatically removed
• Recommended: 100-150 for most timeframes
Zone Proximity % (Default: 0.5)
• Percentage threshold to group nearby levels into single zone
• Lower values (0.2-0.4): Keeps levels separate, more zones
• Higher values (0.6-1.0): Aggressive clustering, fewer zones
• Recommended: 0.4-0.6 for crypto, 0.3-0.5 for forex, 0.5-0.8 for stocks
Visualization Settings
Show Buy-Side Liquidity
• Toggle ON/OFF red zones above price
• Turn OFF if only interested in downside liquidity
Show Sell-Side Liquidity
• Toggle ON/OFF green zones below price
• Turn OFF if only interested in upside liquidity
Show Liquidity Labels
• Toggle BSL/SSL labels with strength numbers
• Turn OFF for cleaner chart appearance
• Keep ON to see exact liquidity strength
Display Style
• Boxes: Filled rectangular zones (best for visualizing strength)
• Lines: Horizontal dashed lines (minimal, clean look)
• Both: Boxes + Lines (maximum visibility)
Color Intensity
• Low: 85% transparency (subtle, less distracting)
• Medium: 75% transparency (balanced visibility)
• High: 65% transparency (bold, maximum visibility)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Info Panel Guide
Located in the top-right corner, the info panel provides real-time liquidity statistics:
Buy-Side Zones
• Count of active BSL zones above current price
• Higher number = More upside targets for price
Sell-Side Zones
• Count of active SSL zones below current price
• Higher number = More downside targets for price
Total Zones
• Combined count of all active liquidity
• Useful for gauging overall market structure
Nearest BSL
• Distance in % to closest Buy-Side Liquidity above
• Example: +2.5% means BSL is 2.5% above current price
• Quick reference for next upside target
Nearest SSL
• Distance in % to closest Sell-Side Liquidity below
• Example: -1.8% means SSL is 1.8% below current price
• Quick reference for next downside target
Liquidity Bias
• ⬆️ Bullish : More BSL than SSL (upside targets dominate)
• ⬇️ Bearish : More SSL than BSL (downside targets dominate)
• ↔️ Balanced: Equal liquidity on both sides (range-bound)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Understanding Liquidity Strength
What Do The Numbers Mean?
Strength 1 : Single swing point
• Light liquidity, minor target
• Can be ignored in trending markets
• Useful in ranging/choppy conditions
Strength 2-3 : Moderate liquidity cluster
• Multiple nearby swing points merged
• Decent target for intraday moves
• Watch for potential sweeps
Strength 4-5 : Strong liquidity cluster
• Major cluster of stops
• High-probability target for institutions
• Expect reactions when swept
Strength 6+ : Extreme liquidity pool
• Massive stop cluster (rare)
• Critical zone - high probability of sweep
• Often marks major support/resistance
• Ideal for confluence setups
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📱 Alert Setup
This indicator includes 2 powerful alert types:
1. Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps BSL zone above
• Shows potential bullish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes upward continuation after sweep
2. Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep
• Triggers when price sweeps SSL zone below
• Shows potential bearish reversal opportunity
• Often precedes downward continuation after sweep
To Set Up Alerts:
1. Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in TradingView
2. Condition: Select "Liquidity Heatmap"
3. Choose alert type: BSL Sweep or SSL Sweep
4. Configure notification method (push, email, webhook)
5. Click "Create"
Pro Tip: Set alerts for both BSL and SSL sweeps to catch opportunities in both directions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for confirmation - Don't enter immediately on sweep, wait for reversal pattern
• Combine with trend - SSL sweeps in uptrends = higher probability longs
• Check multiple timeframes - 1H liquidity + 4H liquidity = strongest zones
• Monitor strength - Focus on zones with strength 3+
• Use proper risk management - Liquidity sweeps can go further than expected
• Watch for re-sweeps - Sometimes liquidity zones get swept multiple times
• Consider volume - High volume sweeps = stronger reversal potential
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't fade strong trends - In strong trends, sweeps often continue rather than reverse
• Don't overtrade - Not every sweep is a tradeable setup
• Don't ignore context - Check broader market conditions and news
• Don't use alone - Combine with price action, support/resistance, and other analysis
• Don't place stops at liquidity - Your stops will be hunted
• Don't expect perfection - Some sweeps fail, some zones never get hit
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalping: 5min, 15min (fast moves, frequent sweeps)
• Day Trading: 15min, 1H (balanced view)
• Swing Trading: 1H, 4H, Daily (major liquidity zones)
• Position Trading: 4H, Daily, Weekly (institutional liquidity)
🔥 Best Markets:
• Crypto (high volatility, frequent liquidity grabs)
• Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD - liquid pairs)
• Futures (ES, NQ, CL - high liquidity contracts)
• Stocks (large caps with high volume)
⏰ Best Times:
• Market opens (high volatility = liquidity hunting)
• Before/after major news events
• Session overlaps (London/NY for forex)
• First hour and last hour of trading
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic pivot indicators, the Liquidity Heatmap:
• Institutional Perspective - Shows where smart money hunts stops
• Dynamic Clustering - Automatically groups nearby levels for clarity
• Strength Tracking - Not just where, but HOW MUCH liquidity exists
• Auto-Cleanup - Removes swept and old liquidity automatically
• Visual Clarity - Instant understanding of market structure
• Actionable - Clear targets and reversal zones for trading
• Real-Time Updates - Adapts as market structure evolves
Based On Professional Concepts:
• Order flow analysis
• Market maker behavior
• Institutional trading techniques
• Liquidity engineering principles
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common Liquidity Patterns
Pattern 1: The Double Sweep
• Price sweeps SSL below, reverses up
• Price sweeps BSL above, reverses down
• Back to original range
• Trading: Fade the second sweep for mean reversion
Pattern 2: The Cascade
• Multiple SSL zones stacked below
• Price sweeps first zone, continues to next
• Chain reaction of stop losses triggering
• Trading: Ride the momentum to lowest zone
Pattern 3: The Fake-Out
• Price approaches liquidity but doesn't quite sweep
• Reverses before hitting the zone
• "Scared money" didn't wait for full sweep
• Trading: Wait for actual sweep, don't anticipate
Pattern 4: The Absorption
• Price sweeps major liquidity zone (strength 5+)
• No reversal, just consolidation
• Institutions absorbed all liquidity
• Trading: Wait for breakout direction, likely continuation

• Market conditions change - adapt your strategy accordingly
• Always use proper position sizing and risk management
• Liquidity sweeps can be violent - use appropriate stop losses
• Practice on demo accounts before trading with real capital
• Past liquidity patterns don't guarantee future price action
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes. Trading involves risk. Always do your own research and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

Version History
• v1.0 - Initial release with dynamic liquidity detection and clustering
OHLC HistoryOHLC History is a Pine Script v6 overlay that snapshots up to 32 historical OHLC-derived levels from a selectable higher (or different) timeframe and projects them onto the active chart. It uses request.security to fetch the chosen source (Close/High/Low/Open), rounds each value to the instrument’s minimum tick, and stores them in an array. A “Max Number Lookback” input limits how many of those levels are rendered. For each retained level the script draws a horizontal line extended both ways, coloring it dynamically based on whether the level is above (customizable “above” color) or below (customizable “below” color) the current price, and places compact labels (01–32) with optional price text offset by a user-defined label distance. Prior bar artifacts (lines and labels) are explicitly deleted each update to keep the chart clean, while small white plot markers ensure the levels appear in the price scale and data window for quick reference.

PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system.
It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including:
Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance)
Lower phase boundary (dynamic support)
Phase average (mean-reversion anchor)
Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL)
The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages.
This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own.
However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released.
This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour:
phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic.
This makes the indicator valuable for:
Intra-day and swing traders
Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders
Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies
Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming
Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking
Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine.
Works Best With:
This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour.
When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.
DWMY OHLCShows the prior D/W/M/Y OHLC levels with precise horizontal segments that update at each new session. Great for spotting reaction zones, sweeps, and bias shifts at important levels.
Monthly and Yearly levels are toggled off by default to avoid clutter, but can of course be toggled back on in the settings
MA Strategy: Dual Entry FilterConfigurable MA Dual-Filter Strategy
This strategy is an enhanced and highly configurable Moving Average (MA) Crossover system designed to mitigate false signals and align trades with the prevailing market trend. It is built to offer traders granular control over entry criteria, elevating it beyond basic, built-in MA crossover indicators.
Originality & Key Features
The script's originality and utility lie in the combination of its two primary, optional filtering mechanics:
Dual Entry Mode (Key Filter): Users can choose between two distinct methods for trade entry:
Crossover (Classic): Immediate entry when the price crosses the main MA.
Full Candle Confirmation (Unique Feature): This mode requires the entire candle body (open, high, low, and close) to be completely above or below the main MA after a crossover event to confirm the signal before entry. This strict confirmation helps to filter out weak crossovers, reducing whipsaws in choppy markets.
Optional Trend Filter: A second, slower MA (Trend Filter MA) can be activated. Trades are only permitted when the faster main MA is aligned with the slower Trend MA (i.e., long only if main MA > Trend MA), ensuring trades are executed with the established higher-timeframe direction.
How to Use the Strategy
The strategy logic is built on simple MA principles but utilizes Pine Script's switch function to allow users to select from six different MA types for both the main signal and the trend filter: SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, and RMA.
Core Logic:
Signal: A cross of the price over the Main MA (filtered by the chosen Entry Mode).
Directional Filter: The Trend Filter must confirm the direction (if enabled).
Exit: Trades are exited on the opposite price crossover of the Main MA.
Customizable Settings Include:
Main MA Type & Length (Default: 40 EMA): The primary signal generator.
Trend Filter MA Type & Length (Default: 70 EMA): The optional, slower trend bias.
Entry Mode: Switch between Crossover or Full Candle Confirmation.
Strategy Results and High-Risk Disclaimer
The default setting for trade size is set to 40% of equity for backtesting demonstration purposes only. This high value is used to generate a large and diverse sample size of trades for historical review on the chart.
This 40% value is NOT a recommended setting for live trading. Per TradingView guidelines, traders are strongly advised to change this input to a sustainable risk level, typically 5% to 10% of equity per trade. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

ICT Fair Value Gap Detector [Eˣ]⚡ Fair Value Gap Detector
Overview
The Fair Value Gap Detector automatically identifies price imbalances on your charts - the inefficiencies left behind when price moves too quickly. This indicator reveals where price is likely to return for "rebalancing", based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts of market efficiency.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 What This Indicator Does
Detects Fair Value Gaps:
• 🟢 Bullish FVG - Gap left below during aggressive upward move
• 🔴 Bearish FVG - Gap left above during aggressive downward move
• Automatically identifies 3-candle price inefficiencies
• Works on all timeframes and instruments
Smart Fill Tracking:
• Full Fill - Price completely fills the gap
• 50% Fill - Price fills half the gap (critical level)
• Partial Fill - Price touches gap edge
• Real-time fill percentage tracking
• Auto-removes filled gaps (optional)
Professional Features:
• Active Gap Highlighting - Shows nearest unfilled gap
• Distance Calculator - Displays how far price is from gaps
• Market Bias - Analysis based on gap balance
• Size Filtering - Minimum gap size to avoid noise
• Visual Clarity - Clean boxes with color-coding
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📚 Understanding Fair Value Gaps
What Are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), also known as imbalances or inefficiencies, are zones where price moved so quickly that normal trading didn't occur. They represent:
• Price Imbalance - One-sided aggressive buying or selling
• Unfair Pricing - Some participants didn't get to trade at these levels
• Market Inefficiency - Supply/demand equilibrium was disrupted
• Rebalancing Zones - Price often returns to "fill" these gaps
The ICT Concept:
Markets constantly seek equilibrium (fair value). When price moves too fast:
1. It leaves gaps where normal trading didn't happen
2. These gaps represent unfair/inefficient pricing
3. Market has a tendency to return and "rebalance"
4. Smart money knows this and trades the fills
Why FVGs Work:
• Unfilled Orders - Traders who missed the move have pending orders in the gap
• Algorithmic Trading - Algos programmed to exploit inefficiencies
• Market Psychology - Traders notice gaps and place orders there
• Institutional Behavior - Smart money uses gaps for entries/exits
FVG vs Regular Gaps:
• Regular Gaps - Occur at market open, between daily closes
• Fair Value Gaps - Occur intraday, between 3 consecutive candles
• FVGs happen more frequently and on all timeframes
• FVGs are more tradeable for intraday/swing traders
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 Bullish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bullish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the high reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bullish candle (aggressive buying)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's LOW is above Candle 1's HIGH = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 3: Low at $105 ──────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bullish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bullish │
│
Candle 1: High at $100 ──────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price jumped from $100 to $105+ so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $100-$105 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as support
Trading Bullish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace down into the bullish FVG (green box)
• Look for rejection/bounce from the gap zone
• Enter long when price respects the FVG as support
• Stop loss: Below the FVG
• Target: Previous high or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches bottom of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bullish FVG forms: $50,000 - $50,500 (500 point gap)
• Price rallies to $52,000 then retraces
• Price drops to $50,250 (50% of gap filled)
• Bullish reversal candle appears
• Enter long at $50,500, stop at $49,800
• Target: $52,000+
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 Bearish Fair Value Gaps Explained
How They Form:
Bearish FVG requires 3 candles:
1. Candle 1 - Any candle (sets the low reference)
2. Candle 2 - Strong bearish candle (aggressive selling)
3. Candle 3 - Continuation candle
The Gap: Candle 3's HIGH is below Candle 1's LOW = Gap left unfilled
Visual Example:
```
Candle 1: Low at $100 ───────────┐
│ ← GAP (Bearish FVG)
Candle 2: Strong bearish │
│
Candle 3: High at $95 ───────────┘
```
What It Means:
• Price dropped from $100 to $95 so fast, no trading occurred in between
• This $95-$100 zone is "unfair" - buyers/sellers didn't get to trade there
• Market may return to this zone to "rebalance"
• When price returns, it often acts as resistance
Trading Bearish FVGs:
Strategy:
• Wait for price to retrace up into the bearish FVG (red box)
• Look for rejection/reversal from the gap zone
• Enter short when price respects the FVG as resistance
• Stop loss: Above the FVG
• Target: Previous low or opposite FVG
Best Entry Points:
• 50% Fill: Price enters middle of gap (highest probability)
• Full Fill: Price touches top of gap (aggressive entry)
• Tap & Reject: Price quickly enters and exits gap (strong signal)
Example Trade:
• Bearish FVG forms: $48,000 - $48,500 (500 point gap)
• Price drops to $46,000 then retraces
• Price rallies to $48,250 (50% of gap filled)
• Bearish reversal candle appears
• Enter short at $48,000, stop at $48,700
• Target: $46,000-

💎 Pro Tips & Best Practices
✅ DO:
• Wait for 50% fill - Middle of gap has highest win rate (65-70%)
• Use confirmation - Don't trade just because price touched gap
• Combine with structure - FVG + support/resistance = high probability
• Trade first fill - Unfilled gaps have better success rate than refilled
• Respect full fills - Once fully filled, gap is less reliable
• Use multiple timeframes - HTF FVGs are stronger than LTF
• Check session timing - FVGs work best during London/NY sessions
• Follow the bias - More bullish FVGs = favor longs
⚠️ DON'T:
• Don't blindly fade gaps - Wait for price action confirmation
• Don't ignore momentum - Strong trends can blow through FVGs
• Don't trade every gap - Quality over quantity
• Don't assume all gaps fill - About 70-80% fill, 20-30% don't
• Don't use tight stops - Allow room for wick into gap
• Don't overtrade - Wait for confluence and confirmation
• Don't fight trends - Best FVG trades are with higher TF trend
• Don't ignore fill percentage - 50% is often the sweet spot
🎯 Best Timeframes:
• Scalpers: 1min, 5min (many gaps, quick fills)
• Day Traders: 5min, 15min, 1H (balanced)
• Swing Traders: 1H, 4H, Daily (larger, more reliable gaps)
• Position Traders: 4H, Daily, Weekly (major imbalances)
🔥 Best Instruments:
• Excellent: BTC, ETH, ES, NQ, Forex majors (clean price action)
• Good: Gold, Oil, Major indices, Large-cap stocks
• Moderate: Altcoins, small-cap stocks (more noise)
• Best Markets: Trending markets with clear swings
⏰ Best Times for FVG Trading:
• London Session: High volume = reliable gap fills
• NY Session: Strong moves create quality gaps
• London-NY Overlap: Best time for gap creation and fills
• Asian Session: Lower probability, wait for London
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎓 Advanced FVG Concepts
FVG Mitigation Levels
Understanding fill percentages:
• 0-25% Fill: Gap barely touched, often continues without fill
• 25-50% Fill: Partial rebalancing, may reverse here
• 50% Fill: CRITICAL LEVEL - Highest probability reversal zone
• 50-75% Fill: Deep rebalancing, strong reversal likely
• 75-100% Fill: Full rebalancing, gap's purpose fulfilled
Why 50% Matters: Market seeks equilibrium, and 50% represents perfect balance
FVG Inversions
When price breaks through a gap completely:
• Bullish FVG that's broken becomes bearish (support → resistance)
• Bearish FVG that's broken becomes bullish (resistance → support)
• Inverted gaps are weaker than fresh gaps
• Trading: Can fade the inverted gap but with caution
FVG Confluence Zones
Multiple FVGs at similar level:
• Creates "super gap" or confluence zone
• Much higher probability of reaction
• Wider zone for entries (more room for stops)
• Often aligns with other institutional concepts
FVG + Order Block Combo
When FVG overlaps with Order Block:
• Double institutional concept
• Extremely high probability setup (75-85% win rate)
• Price drawn to fill gap AND test order block
• Use tight stops, generous targets (3-5R possible)
Nested FVGs (Multi-Timeframe)
Small FVG inside larger FVG:
• Daily FVG contains 4H FVG contains 1H FVG
• Trade the smallest FVG in direction of larger ones
• Highest probability when all aligned
• Progressive targets: Fill small → medium → large gaps
FVG Exhaustion
When price creates multiple FVGs in same direction:
• Indicates strong momentum/impulsive move
• Each gap represents acceleration
• Last gap often signals exhaustion
• Watch for reversal after filling final gap
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 Common FVG Patterns
Pattern 1: The Perfect Rebalance
• FVG forms during strong move
• Price continues 100+ pips
• Clean return to 50% of gap
• Immediate reversal
• Textbook setup, 70%+ win rate
Pattern 2: The Double Fill
• Price partially fills gap (25%)
• Weak reaction, continues
• Returns again for deeper fill (75%)
• Strong reversal on second fill
• Second fill often better entry
Pattern 3: The Blow-Through
• Price approaches gap
• Completely ignores it, no reaction
• Keeps going in same direction
• Sign of very strong momentum
Pattern 4: The Magnet Effect
• Price slowly grinds toward gap
• Accelerates as it gets close
• Quickly fills and reverses
• Common in ranging markets
Pattern 5: The False Fill
• Price wicks into gap briefly
• Immediately reverses without filling
• "Stop hunt" or liquidity grab
• Gap remains unfilled
• Often precedes strong move

Fibonacci Volume Profile [Auto-Anchored & Dynamic]The Concept: Structure Meets Participation Traders often treat Market Structure (Fibonacci Retracements) and Market Participation (Volume) as separate tools. This indicator merges them into a single, cohesive system.
Standard Volume Profiles are often static or require manual placement. Standard Fibonacci tools show where price might reverse, but not how much effort was spent there. This script solves that by automatically anchoring a high-definition Volume Profile to your most recent market swing, giving you a dynamic view of volume distribution relative to Fibonacci structural zones.
How It Works This is not a simple "tick" volume profile. It is a custom-built, array-based engine that:
Identifies the Swing: Automatically scans the last X bars (user-defined) to find the absolute Swing High and Swing Low.
Anchors the Profile: Draws the Volume Profile precisely covering the time duration of that swing.
Calculates Distribution: Using a "Smart Fill" algorithm, it distributes volume across price rows without gaps, ensuring a solid, institutional-grade look even on steep trends.
Dynamic Scaling: The width of the profile is responsive. It occupies a percentage of the swing's duration, meaning it scales perfectly whether you are zooming in, zooming out, or dragging chart margins.
Key Features
Auto-Anchored: No need to manually draw "Fixed Range" tools. The script adapts as new highs/lows are made.
Smart Fill Technology: Eliminates the "barcode" effect seen in basic scripts. Price rows are filled continuously for a solid distribution curve.
Split Volume Analysis: Bars are dual-colored (Teal/Red by default) to visualize Buy (Up Candle) vs. Sell (Down Candle) volume composition at every price level.
Point of Control (POC): Automatically highlights the price level with the highest volume (The "King" line) in Red.
Responsive Geometry: The profile width is defined as a percentage of the swing itself. It breathes with the chart.
Garbage Collection: Optimized for performance. Old drawings are cleared instantly when the chart moves, preventing "ghost" drawings or lag.
Settings Guide
Lookback Length: How far back the script scans for the High/Low (Default: 200). Increase this for higher timeframes or longer trends.
