VIX/VXV Ratio (TitsNany)This script plots the VXV/VIX ratio, which compares medium-term volatility (90-day fear) to short-term volatility (30-day fear). When the ratio rises above key levels like 1.16 or 1.24, it signals that traders expect future stress, often preceding market pullbacks. When the ratio falls toward or below 1.0, short-term fear is spiking, which typically occurs during active selloffs or volatility events. In short, elevated readings warn of potential market drops ahead, while sharp declines in the ratio reflect panic already hitting the market.

Alt Trading: Asia Fibonacci Strategy
The Alt Trading: Asia Fibonacci Strategy is a session-anchored liquidity and Fibonacci engine designed for traders who want to systematically exploit the overnight Asia range instead of just marking it and guessing. It automatically profiles the Asia session to build a precise high–low liquidity band, then waits for clean sweeps of that range before it will even consider a setup forcing every idea to start from an objective liquidity event. Behind the scenes, a swing-based structure model defines the dominant leg and projects a true, directionally-aligned Fibonacci map, extending down for long scenarios and up for shorts so the premium/discount zones are never “mirrored” or visually inverted. Key extension bands are converted into forward-projected price zones, with dedicated entry corridors that only activate once price has both raided the Asia high/low and traded back into the correct Fibonacci pocket. A lightweight FVG engine tracks the most recent opposing Fair Value Gap and uses its invalidation as a final confirmation step, so your long setups only trigger when a bearish imbalance has been meaningfully reclaimed and vice versa for shorts. The result is a minimal but strict playbook: sweep the Asia range, respect the leg, touch the fib zone, invalidate the opposing FVG, then and only then print a clean visual marker on the chart. Transparent fib blocks, trigger FVG highlights, and compact “double-circle” text markers keep the chart readable even on lower timeframes, while still giving you a clear sense of where the setup originated and which liquidity it’s built around. All colors and visual layers are customizable, making it easy to blend the tool into your existing layout while preserving the core logic. Rather than trying to predict the entire session, Asia Fibonacci Strategy turns one of the most consistent structures in the market overnight range and its sweep into a repeatable, rule-driven framework for high-quality intraday entries.
Run Reversal Run Reversal is a multi-timeframe precision reversal tool designed to detect momentum shifts after a clean run of candles in one direction.

HTF Candles & Levels Visualizer - SRHTF Candles & Levels Visualizer is a clean higher‑timeframe visualization tool designed to complement any trading strategy by giving clear context of larger‑TF structure directly on your current chart. It plots the previous high and low for up to three user‑selectable timeframes, and draws them as extended levels with optional labels, making it easy to see where current price sits relative to key higher‑timeframe zones.
The script also renders compact proxy candles for each selected timeframe to the right of current price, so you can visually track HTF candle development without switching charts. Each HTF slot has independent settings: timeframe, color, number of displayed candles, and visibility toggles, along with global controls for line style, label size, candle spacing, and colors.
This tool does not generate trading signals; it focuses purely on multi‑timeframe context and market structure visualization to support your own entries, exits, and risk management.
The Rumer's Box Theory“The Rumer's Box Theory” is a visual trading indicator that allows traders to quickly identify the previous daily candle’s high and low across any timeframe. It displays a purple box spanning the previous day’s high to low, with a blue horizontal line marking the 50% midpoint for quick reference. The settings also provide options to extend the box and midpoint line to the left, giving traders flexibility in how the indicator appears on the chart.
Opposite Candle Zone Identifier Opposite Candle Zone Identifier
This indicator automatically detects candles that form potential Supply and Demand zones based on a simple but effective institutional pattern.
It identifies any central candle (bullish or bearish) that is surrounded by a defined number of opposite candles before and after, helping traders highlight key turning points, absorption zones, and areas of imbalance in the market.
How It Works
The script looks for two specific structures:
🔴 Bearish Central Candle Zone (Potential Supply)
The central candle is bearish
It is preceded by N bullish candles
It is followed by N bullish candles
This structure often appears at the origin of bearish impulses and can mark institutional Supply zones.
🟢 Bullish Central Candle Zone (Potential Demand)
The central candle is bullish
It is preceded by N bearish candles
It is followed by N bearish candles
This pattern frequently forms before strong bullish expansions and may indicate Demand zones or accumulation points.
Inputs
Number of candles before (left side of the central candle)
Number of candles after (right side of the central candle)
You can increase or decrease the sensitivity of the pattern according to your style or timeframe.
What It Draws
The indicator places:
A red label above bearish zone candles
A green label below bullish zone candles
These labels help you visually identify where institutional footprints and price imbalances may exist.
Best Use Cases
Supply & Demand mapping
Institutional trading / Smart Money Concepts
Swing points and zone detection
Filtering high-quality reversal points
Locating strong origin candles before price expansions
Notes
This script does not repaint, does not use future data, and works on all timeframes and all markets.

LVN Smart Liquidity📊 LVN SMART LIQUIDITY
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎯 OVERVIEW
LVN Smart Liquidity is an advanced Market Profile-based indicator that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) across multiple timeframes. Unlike traditional volume-based indicators, this tool uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculations to detect price levels where minimal trading activity occurred, revealing potential breakout zones and rapid price movement areas.
These LVN zones often behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money Concepts, representing "thin air" areas where price tends to move quickly with minimal resistance. The indicator provides dynamic zone management with an immunity period system to prevent premature zone closure.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🔬 HOW IT WORKS
MARKET PROFILE TPO METHODOLOGY:
The indicator analyzes each higher timeframe period by:
1. Dividing the price range into 20 equal levels
2. Counting how many bars touched each level (TPO count)
3. Identifying levels with TPO counts below the threshold (default 30% of maximum)
4. Creating horizontal zones that extend until price touches them
MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS:
• Supports up to 5 independent timeframes simultaneously
• Each timeframe generates its own LVN zones with unique colors
• Auto-timeframe mode adapts to your chart period
• Zones project from historical sessions onto current price action
SMART ZONE MANAGEMENT:
• Immunity Period: New zones are protected for N bars after creation (default 20)
• This prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within them
• Zones extend right until price touches them, then stop extending
• Historical zones remain visible for reference (optional)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
💡 WHY LVN ZONES MATTER
Low Volume Nodes represent price levels where:
✓ Price spent minimal time (rejection zones)
✓ Few market participants were active
✓ Inefficient price discovery occurred
✓ Similar to Fair Value Gaps in ICT/SMC methodology
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
• Breakout Acceleration: Price moves rapidly through LVN zones
• Profit Targets: Place targets beyond LVN zones where momentum slows
• Stop Loss Placement: Avoid placing stops inside LVN zones (price likely to continue)
• Confluence with FVG: LVN zones often align with Fair Value Gaps
• Retest Opportunities: When price revisits LVN, expect quick moves
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚙️ KEY FEATURES
TIMEFRAME FLEXIBILITY:
• 5 independent timeframe slots with enable/disable toggles
• Auto-mode intelligently selects higher timeframes
• Preset options: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1H, 2H, 4H, D, W, 2W, M, 3M, 6M, 12M
VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION:
• Individual color settings for each timeframe
• Adjustable box transparency and border width
• Toggle timeframe labels and period dates on/off
• Four text size options: tiny, small, normal, large
ADVANCED CONTROLS:
• LVN Threshold: 0-50% (default 30%) - lower = fewer, stronger zones
• Immunity Period: 0-50 bars (default 20) - prevents premature closure
• Show/Hide old boxes for clean chart appearance
• Maximum 500 boxes supported per timeframe
PROFESSIONAL DISPLAY:
• Zones show timeframe label (5m, 1H, D, etc.)
• Optional period dates (dd.MM-dd.MM format)
• Boxes extend right dynamically until price touch
• Clean visual hierarchy with bordered zones
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📈 HOW TO USE
SETUP:
1. Add indicator to chart
2. Enable desired timeframes (TF1, TF2, etc.)
3. Adjust LVN threshold based on your trading style:
• 20-25% = Very selective (only thinnest zones)
• 30-35% = Balanced (recommended for most markets)
• 40-50% = More zones (higher sensitivity)
INTERPRETATION:
• RED/DARK ZONES = Low trading activity occurred here
• Price tends to move THROUGH these zones quickly
• Similar behavior to Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in Smart Money theory
• Expect acceleration when price enters LVN zones
TRADING STRATEGIES:
1. BREAKOUT TRADING:
- Wait for price to approach LVN zone
- Enter when price breaks into the zone
- Expect rapid movement through the zone
- Target next support/resistance beyond LVN
2. CONFLUENCE ANALYSIS:
- Combine with other SMC concepts (Order Blocks, FVG, Liquidity)
- LVN + FVG overlap = high-probability acceleration zone
- Use higher timeframe LVN as directional bias
3. MULTI-TIMEFRAME:
- Daily LVN = major breakout zones
- 4H LVN = intraday momentum areas
- 15m LVN = scalping opportunities

📊 ORIGINALITY & UNIQUENESS
This indicator is original because:
1. TPO-BASED CALCULATION: Uses Market Profile Time-Price-Opportunity methodology instead of traditional volume analysis, making it work on all markets including those without real volume data (Forex, some indices).
2. IMMUNITY SYSTEM: Unique protection mechanism prevents zones from disappearing immediately when price is already within zone boundaries at creation time.
3. TRUE MULTI-TIMEFRAME: Independent calculation for each timeframe with separate zone management, not simple higher timeframe projection.
4. SMART ZONE LIFECYCLE: Zones dynamically extend until price touch, then become static historical references.
5. FVG-LIKE BEHAVIOR: Bridges traditional Market Profile analysis with modern Smart Money Concepts by identifying zones that behave similarly to Fair Value Gaps.
Unlike existing LVN indicators that rely on volume data, this tool uses time-based analysis, making it universal across all market types and compatible with brokers that don't provide accurate volume information.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
📚 TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
MARKET PROFILE THEORY:
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile analyzes market behavior by examining price and time relationships. Low Volume Nodes in traditional profile represent areas where market participants showed minimal interest.
TPO (TIME PRICE OPPORTUNITY):
Instead of counting volume, TPO counts how many time periods (bars) touched each price level. This approach:
• Works on all markets regardless of volume data quality
• Reflects actual time-based market acceptance/rejection
• Reveals psychological price levels through time distribution
CONNECTION TO SMART MONEY CONCEPTS:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) in ICT methodology represent similar inefficiencies:
• Areas where price moved too quickly
• Imbalances in buying/selling pressure
• Zones that price may revisit or accelerate through
• LVN zones often overlap with FVG locations
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
🎓 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
To maximize this indicator's effectiveness, study:
• Market Profile fundamentals (TPO, POC, Value Area)
• Smart Money Concepts (FVG, Order Blocks, Liquidity)
• Multi-timeframe analysis techniques
• Volume Profile comparison (understand the difference)
COMPANION INDICATOR:
Consider using "HVN Smart Liquidity" (opposite concept) to identify both high and low volume zones for complete Market Profile analysis.

🟡 GOLD 4H HUD v8.9 — Loose ICT OB + Strong/Weak + FVG/HVN/LVNGOLD 4H HUD v8.9 is a clean, structured Smart Money Concepts (SMC)–based analysis tool designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
It focuses on the three most important elements for institutional orderflow analysis:
✔ Loose ICT Order Blocks (Demand/Supply)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Volume Profile Zones (HVN/LVN/POC)
The script builds a professional-style HUD that displays the key institutional regions and structural levels that matter most for gold traders.
📌 Key Features
1 — Market Structure Engine (HH/HL & BOS)
The indicator detects:
Minor swing Highs and Lows
Last confirmed HH / HL levels
Break of Structure (BOS) for directional bias
EMA-200 trend filter (UP / DOWN / NEUTRAL)
This gives traders a clean structural read without clutter or noise.
2 — Loose FVG Engine (Tolerance-Based ICT Gaps)
A soft-threshold FVG engine detects “loose” Fair Value Gaps using a 0.1% price tolerance.
This method ensures:
Fewer missed imbalances
Cleaner OB/FVG alignment
Higher accuracy on 4H gold displacement legs
FVGs automatically shift to the right side of the chart for clean visualization.
3 — Order Block Engine (Demand/Supply + Strong/Weak Classification)
A simplified ICT-style OB engine scans the past few candles whenever BOS is detected.
It identifies:
Demand OB during bullish BOS
Supply OB during bearish BOS
Strong OB if fully nested inside an active FVG
Weak OB otherwise
OB boxes include:
Clear color coding (strong vs. weak)
Price range labels inside each box
Automatic right-shift for visual clarity
4 — Volume Profile Engine (POC / HVN / LVN / VAH / VAL)
Based on a rolling window (default 120 bars), the script builds a lightweight volume distribution.
It displays:
POC (Point of Control)
HVN (High Volume Node)
LVN (Low Volume Node)
Value Area High / Low
HVN/LVN zones are shown as right-shifted colored boxes with price labels.
These zones help identify:
Institutional accumulation
Low-liquidity rejection points
Areas where price tends to react strongly
5 — Support / Resistance Mapping
The script automatically generates:
OB-based support/resistance
Swing-high/swing-low levels
HVN/LVN structural levels
These are displayed in the HUD for fast reference.
6 — Professional HUD Panel
A compact, easy-to-read HUD summarizes:
Trend direction
Latest HH/HL
OB ranges (Strong/Weak)
HVN/LVN price zones
POC
Multi-layer support & resistance
This turns the script into a fully functional analysis dashboard.
📌 What This Indicator Is NOT
To avoid misunderstanding:
It does not take entries or generate buy/sell signals
It does not auto-detect CHOCH, MSS, SMT, or sweeps
It is not a trading bot
This tool is designed as an institutional-style map and analysis HUD, not a strategy.
📌 Best Use Case
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to:
Read institutional structure on XAUUSD
Identify clean Demand/Supply zones
Visualize FVG/OB/HVN interactions
Track high-value liquidity levels
Build directional bias on 4H before dropping to execution timeframes
⚠ Important Note
This tool is designed exclusively for the 4H timeframe.
Using it on lower timeframes will display a warning.
ICT Base Candle with Volume Filter📘 ICT BASE CANDLE WITH VOLUME FILTER
Institutional Base Candle Detection System
Smart Money Concepts (SMC/ICT)
🔍 What This Indicator Does
ICT Base Candle with Volume Filter automatically detects institutional Base Candles—also known as pause candles, decision candles, compression candles, or repricing pauses.
These candles often appear at key algorithmic points:
After a displacement
After a liquidity sweep
Before a fair value gap reaction
Inside an Order Block (OB)
At premium/discount zones
Before large expansions
This tool highlights these candles using:
✔ Body-percentage filtering
✔ Optional volume-based filtering
✔ Bullish/Bearish color coding
✔ Optional labels (+ / –)
✔ Accurate fixed historical plotting
✔ Customizable settings
This makes it extremely useful for SMC, ICT, and algorithmic orderflow traders.
🎯 Why Base Candles Matter (SMC/ICT Context)
The market moves in an algorithmic sequence:
Liquidity Sweep (grab stops above/below)
Displacement (strong impulse candle)
Base Candle (pause candle before continuation)
Expansion / Reversal
Base candles indicate:
Loss of momentum
Repricing
Order absorption (buy/sell programs)
Potential mitigation zones
Possible entry (continuation)
Possible reversal (if sweep + base + displacement)
They act as footprints of algorithmic activity, confirming where smart money is momentarily active.
🎨 Indicator Features
✔ Customizable Base Candle Colors
Choose unique colors for bullish and bearish base candles.
Option to use the same color for both.
✔ Volume Filter
Enable/disable volume filtering
Adjust lookback and threshold values.
✔ Label Toggles
Display “+” above bullish base candles
Display “–” below bearish base candles
✔ Fixed Historical Markers
All detected base candles remain consistent as bars update.
✔ Tooltip-Enhanced Inputs
Includes advanced trading notes inside input tooltips.
📈 How to Use (Practical Guide)
1️⃣ Identify the Impulse
Look for strong displacement or impulsive candles.
2️⃣ Locate the Base Candle
A small-body candle directly following a displacement.
3️⃣ Validate With Volume (Optional)
Low volume confirms a pause in the algorithm's movement.
4️⃣ Use It With SMC Tools
Base candles work best when aligned with:
FVGs
Order Blocks
BOS / CHoCH
Liquidity sweeps
Premium/discount equilibrium
5️⃣ Entry Model (Example)
Continuation Model:
Displacement
Base Candle forms (small body)
Enter on break of base candle
SL beyond candle wick
TP at liquidity / FVG end
📌 Example Explanation
A bullish impulse appears → price pauses → forms a bullish base candle → FVG below → price mitigates → resumes trend.
This indicator marks the base candle and helps you visualize where the algorithm slowed down before continuing the move.

ICT FVG & Order Flow (start version) [vanchesz]Overview
Master liquidity with precision. This indicator brings the iCT trading concept to life by automatically detecting liquidity pools, fair value gaps, and key swing points. It shows you exactly where price is likely to move next — from Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) to External Range Liquidity (ERL). With built-in multi-timeframe validation, it helps you stay one step ahead of the market.
Concept
Markets move where liquidity is. According to iCT theory, price usually sweeps internal liquidity (IRL) first and then hunts for external liquidity (ERL). By mapping this process in real time, the indicator provides a clear framework for understanding market structure, liquidity grabs, and directional bias.
High Probability Leg
Context States
Key Features
Detects the High-Probability Leg (HPL) — the leg containing a fair value gap (FVG)
Highlights unmitigated FVGs within the current context.
Marks swing points (SP), IRL levels, and ERL targets automatically.
Identifies IRL rejections when liquidity is taken inside the leg
Multi-timeframe sweep check – if a single candle takes both IRL and ERL, the indicator zooms into a lower timeframe to confirm which liquidity was swept first
Flexible settings for swing points, look back bar count, depth, colors, and style
How to use
Start from the monthly chart to define the macro trend.
Analyze the latest order flow leg:
Bullish FVG = bullish context, Bearish FVG = bearish context
Step down to the daily timeframe and repeat the analysis.
Wait for price to reject from IRL (the indicator highlights it automatically).
Drop to a lower timeframe for entries — use timeframe alignment to select the right LTF.
Enter with the FVG model, targeting liquidity within the leg.
Place take profit inside the context — e.g., never above ERL(in a bullish setup).
Pro version gives you
Alerts for all context events (New context, New FVG, IRL rejection, Context failing by 2CR, ERL/SP sweep
Check of context failing by 2CR (two candle rejection)
