ICT New Week Opening GapDisplay the Current New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) on your Futures Market charts.
Disclaimer: this indicator is completely built from scratch, which is why not many features are added yet.
This indicator is 100% UNIQUE in the way that the NWOG remains accurately drawn on the chart, regardless of which chart settings are modified (for example, Settlement-as-Close, RTH/ETH, Back-Adjustment, etc.), unlike other NWOG plotting indicators.
Additionally, the NWOG can be plotted on a large variety of timeframes, from the Weekly chart, all the way down to the 1-second chart.
The NWOG is defined as Friday's closing price (e.g., at 4:59pm New York Time for ES1!) and Sunday's opening price (e.g., at 6:00pm New York Time for ES1!) on a new week.
This indicator draws a Box at these levels and extends it out in time to the most recent bar so that it can be visualized how price reacts to and gyrates around these levels.
Basically, the Box that is drawn on the chart by this indicator can be used as dynamic support & resistance levels. The actual price levels are shown at the top-right of the chart in a small table, for anyone wanting to remove the indicator and draw the levels themselves.
Only the current week's opening price and the previous week's closing price will be drawn on the chart.
The indicator settings are only used to change the visuals such as box colors and text colors/size. The actual calculations are performed as mentioned above and cannot be changed by the Style/Settings Input.
Note: it is recommended to toggle ON the " Scale Price Chart Only " chart option if using auto-scaling on charts because TradingView by default will force indicator drawings to display on the chart area even if an NWOG is far away from the current price action.
This is a bare bones indicator (1st version) that will only draw the current NWOG. Future updates will add support for displaying historical NWOGs.

NY Killzone (Morning, Lunch, Afternoon)Indicator for New York session that splits Morning, Lunch and Afternoon part of the session.
Works on Time Frames of 30m and below.
Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.
Trading Example
Order Block Drawing [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
Perhaps one of the most challenging tasks for Pine script developers (especially beginners) is properly drawing order blocks. While utilizing the latest technical analysis methods for "Price Action," beginners heavily rely on accurately plotting "Supply" and "Demand" zones, following concepts like "Smart Money Concept" and "ICT".
However, drawing "Order Blocks" may pose a challenge for developers. Therefore, to minimize bugs, increase accuracy, and speed up the process of coding order blocks, we have released the "Order Block Drawing" library.
Below, you can read more details about how to use this library.
Important :
This library has direct and indirect outputs. The indirect output includes the ranges of order blocks plotted on the chart. However, the direct output is a "Boolean" value that becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block, colloquially termed as "Mitigate." You can use this output for setting up alerts.
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/OrderBlockDrawing_TradingFinder/1
🟣Parameters
OBDrawing(OBType, TriggerCondition, DistalPrice, ProximalPrice, Index, OBValidDis, Show, ColorZone) =>
Parameters:
• OBType (string)
• TriggerCondition (bool)
• DistalPrice (float)
• ProximalPrice (float)
• Index (int)
• OBValidDis (int)
• Show (bool)
• ColorZone (color)
OBType : All order blocks are summarized into two types: "Supply" and "Demand." You should input your order block type in this parameter. Enter "Demand" for drawing demand zones and "Supply" for drawing supply zones.
TriggerCondition : Input the condition under which you want the order block to be drawn in this parameter.
DistalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the farthest line from the price is termed "Distal." This input receives the price of the "Distal" line.
ProximalPrice : Generally, if each zone is formed by two lines, the nearest line to the price is termed "Proximal" line.
Index : This input receives the value of the "bar_index" at the beginning of the order block. You should store the "bar_index" value at the occurrence of the condition for the order block to be drawn and input it here.
OBValidDis : Order blocks continue to be drawn until a new order block is drawn or the order block is "Mitigate." You can specify how many candles after their initiation order blocks should continue. If you want no limitation, enter the number 4998.
Show : You may need to manage whether to display or hide order blocks. When this input is "On", order blocks are displayed, and when it's "Off", order blocks are not displayed.
ColorZone : You can input your preferred color for drawing order blocks.
🔵 Function Outputs
This function has only one output. This output is of type "Boolean" and becomes "true" only when the price touches an order block. Each order block can be touched only once and then loses its validity. You can use this output for alerts.
= Drawing.OBDrawing('Demand', Condition, Distal, Proximal, Index, 4998, true, Color)
ICT Immediate Rebalance [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance aims at detecting and highlighting immediate rebalances, a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader. The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context.
🔶 USAGE
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Following an immediate rebalance, the typical expectation is for two extension candles to ensue; failing this, the immediate rebalance is deemed unsuccessful. It's important to note that both failed and successful immediate rebalances hold significance in trading when analyzed within a contextual framework.
Immediate rebalances can manifest across various locations and timeframes. It's recommended to analyze them in conjunction with other ICT tools or technical indicators to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
🔹 Multi Timeframe
The script facilitates multi-timeframe analysis, enabling users to display immediate rebalances from higher timeframes.
Enabling the display of higher timeframe candles helps visualize the detected immediate rebalance patterns.
🔹 Dashboard
The dashboard offers statistical insights into immediate rebalances.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Immediate Rebalances
Timeframe: this option is to identify immediate rebalances from higher timeframes. If a timeframe lower than the chart's timeframe is selected, calculations will be based on the chart's timeframe.
Bullish, and Bearish Immediate Rebalances: color customization options.
Wicks 75%, %50, and %25: color customization options of the wick price levels for the detected immediate rebalances.
Immediate Rebalance Candles: toggles the visualization of higher timeframe candles where immediate rebalance is detected.
Confirmation (Bars): specifies the number of bars required to confirm the validation of the detected immediate rebalance.
Immediate Rebalance Icon: allows customization of the size of the icon used to represent the immediate rebalance.
🔹 Dashboard
Dashboard: toggles the visualization of the dashboard, sets its location, and customizes the size of the dashboard.

FVG Breakaway/3rd Candle (Arjo) [MK]Simple script to identify FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) on the current chart timeframe. The script differs from other FVG indicators on the Tradingview platform by using Arjos 3rd candle rule to identify which gaps are 'Breakway Gaps' and which Gaps are likely to be returned to.
NOTE: As with all 'trading rules' this theory is not 100% accurate.
default settings:
Breakaway Gaps = YELLOW
Gaps that price may return to = GREEN
Mitigated Gaps = 100% TRANSPARENT
What is a FVG:
A FVG is a price area defined by a 3 candle pattern. For a bullish FVG, the low of the 3rd candle must be higher than the high of the 1st candle. This then leaves an area that is drawn as in the example below:
A bearish FVG is defined by the high of the 3rd candle being lower than the low of the 1st candle, as shown in the example below:
FVGs can act like magnets where price will either retrace to or reach for, therefore they can be used as entry points and also for take profit target levels.
If for example, a trader would like to use an FVG for an entry, it would be useful to know which FVGs are more likely for price to re-enter and which FVG will be left un-touched. FVGs that are likely to be left un-touched by price are called 'Breakaway Gaps'.
How do we define a 'Breakaway Gap':
First we identify FVGs using the rules stated above, then we look to see where the 3rd candle closed in relation to the 2nd candle. For a bullish 'Breakaway Gap' we want to see the 3rd candle close above the high of the 2nd candle. An example of a bullish Breakaway Gap is shown in the example below:
A bearish 'Breakaway Gap' is defined by the close of the 3rd candle being lower than the low of the 2nd candle. An example is shown below:
How do we define an FVG that price may return to:
Any gap that does not meet the above rules for a 'Breakway Gap' is therefore considered an FVG that price may return to. So for a bullish FVG that price may return to we would look to see if the close of the 3rd candle is above the high of the 2nd candle. If it is not above the high of the 2nd candle then it more likely that price will retrace into the FVG before continuing higher. An example is shown below:
A bearish gap that price may return to is defined by the close of the 3rd candle not being lower than the low of the 2nd candle. An example is shown below:
The indicator is based on the teachings of 'Arjo'. Note: breakaway gaps will only remain 'breakaway' until a liquidity level is reached. Breakaways therefore do not remain 'breakaway' forever. Users of the indicators must fully comprehend this theory before using the indicator with live markets.
Users of the script should be fully aware of this concept and also have conducted thorough backtesting using a large data set before using this indicator with live accounts.
MTF OB Supply Demand ZonesHello everyone,
This exceptional indicator provides you with visual representations of bullish and bearish order blocks or supply and demand zones across multiple timeframes. In simple terms, bullish order blocks are represented by a small red candle followed by a large red candle, while bearish order blocks are depicted as a small green candle followed by a large red candle. Supply and demand zones are drawn by using order blocks.
Features:
Display order blocks from up to three different timeframes.
Customize the maximum number of boxes shown and the colors of the zones.
Choose from three different modes: OB (Order Block), Extended OB, and Supply/Demand.
Mode Descriptions:
OB: Includes the body of the candle.
Extended OB: Encompasses the body and wick of the candle.
Supply/Demand: Covers the body, wick, and half the body of the large candle.
Usage:
Ensure that charts 2 and 3 are set to a higher timeframe. For modes 2 and 3, it’s recommended to reduce the maximum number of boxes shown. The zones or boxes are transparent, allowing for overlap. This feature aids in identifying reversal zones or confirmed zones. The more intense the color, the stronger the confirmation. If a green zone overlaps a red zone (or vice versa), it signifies a reversal zone.
Thank you for checking out this indicator!

Additional Information:
Order blocks refer to specific price areas where large market participants, such as institutional traders, have previously placed significant buy or sell orders. These clusters of orders can impact price movement, liquidity, and market sentiment.
Order blocks are a strategic approach to identifying key levels of support and resistance based on the behavior of institutional traders. These key levels are then utilized as entry or exit points for trades.
An order block is an area where there has been a large concentration of limit orders awaiting execution. These blocks are identified on a chart by observing previous price action and pinpointing areas where the price experienced significant movement or abrupt changes in direction.
Order blocks are used in the following popular trading philosophies:

ICT Silver Bullet | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Silver Bullet" strategy. The strategy has 5 steps for execution and works best in 1-5 min timeframes. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Silver Bullet Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Silver Bullet Strategy
Customizable Execution Settings
2 NY Sessions & London Session
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
ICT's Silver Bullet strategy has 5 steps :
1. Mark your market sessions open (This indicator has 3 -> NY 10-11, NY 14-15, LDN 03-04)
2. Mark the swing liquidity points
3. Wait for market to take down one liquidity side
4. Look for a market structure-shift for reversals
5. Wait for a FVG for execution
This indicator follows these steps and inform you step by step by plotting them in your chart. You can switch execution types between FVG and MSS.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Silver Bullet concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. It's designed for simplyfing a rather complex strategy, helping you to execute it with clean signals. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Execution Type -> FVG execution type will require a FVG to take an entry, while the MSS setting will take an entry as soon as it detects a market structure-shift.
MSS Swing Length -> The swing length when finding liquidity zones for market structure-shift detection.
Breakout Method -> If "Wick" is selected, a bar wick will be enough to confirm a market structure-shift. If "Close" is selected, the bar must close above / below the liquidity zone to confirm a market structure-shift.
FVG Detection -> "Same Type" means that all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). "All" means that bar types may vary between bullish / bearish.
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You can turn this setting on and off. If it's off, any 3 consecutive bullish / bearish bars will be calculated as FVGs. If it's on, the size of FVGs will be filtered by the selected sensitivity. Lower settings mean less but larger FVGs.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method -> If "Fixed" is selected, you can adjust the TP / SL ratios from the settings below. If "Dynamic" is selected, the TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm.
Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails.
Close Position @ Session End -> If this setting is enabled, the current position (if any) will be closed at the beginning of a new session, regardless if it hit the TP / SL zone. If it's off, the position will be open until it hits a TP / SL zone.
Volumetric Fair Value Gaps [AlgoAlpha]🎯 Introducing the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps by AlgoAlpha 🎯

🔹 Overlay Feature: Plots directly on the price chart for seamless integration and analysis.
🌟 Quick Guide to Using the Volumetric Fair Value Gaps Indicator:
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favourites and set it up with your desired settings.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for the appearance of colored boxes (blue for bearish, gray for bullish) which represent the fair value gaps. These are high-probability areas for reversals or continuations. FVGs with higher volume are implied to induce a stronger reaction on price.
🔔 Alerts: Set up alerts to notify you when new gaps are detected, ensuring you never miss out on potential trades!
🛠 How It Works:
The Volumetric Fair Value Gaps (VFVG) indicator identifies significant price gaps that are not just based on price action but are also substantiated by volume, which are often overlooked in typical analyses. It operates by comparing the current candle’s price range against historical averages and is calculated over a user-defined period, displayed with volume for further insights. For a gap to be recognized as significant (either bullish or bearish), it must exceed a certain size relative to these averages, which can be adjusted for sensitivity using the provided settings. Bullish gaps are identified when the current low is higher than the second previous high after surpassing the threshold, and bearish gaps are marked when the current high is below the second previous low, similarly surpassing the threshold. This dual-confirmation (volume and price deviation) approach minimizes false signals and enhances the reliability of identified gaps.
Maximize your trading strategy with the VFVG Indicator by AlgoAlpha and turn those gaps into opportunities! 🌈✨
Smart Money Setup 05 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends the realm of mere technical trading strategies to embody a comprehensive philosophy on the dynamics of market operations. It posits that key market participants engage in price manipulation, thereby complicating the trading landscape for smaller, retail traders.
Under this doctrine, retail traders are advised to tailor their strategies in alignment with the maneuvers of "Smart Money" - essentially, the capital operated by market makers.
To this end, one should endeavor to mirror the trading patterns of these influential market participants, who are adept at navigating through the nuances of supply, demand, and overall market structure. As a proponent of Smart Money trading, these elements are pivotal in your decision-making process for trade entries.
🟣 Key Insights
The core principle of this strategy hinges on misleading other traders. A sudden market movement against the prevailing trend that results in the formation of either a lower low or a higher high, followed by a pullback where a divergence pattern emerges, sets the stage.
Subsequently, the market may form another lower low or higher high. Traders, persuaded that the market will continue along the trajectory of the new movement, are caught off-guard when the price abruptly reverses direction. Following a "Stop Hunt" of the traders' open positions, the market resumes its initial trend.
To grasp the essence of this setup, observe the following illustrations.
"Bullish Setup" :
"Bearish Setup" :
🔵 How to Use
The setups can be customized based on the desired formation period. This adjustment can be made through the indicator's price setting options, where the default period is set at 2.
Upon configuring your preferred period, the signals become actionable. Once a setup forms, the subsequent step involves waiting for the price to reach the "Order Block".

📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
1. Order Blocks
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenario, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
2. Breaker Blocks
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, i.e. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken. Often the higher the breaking bar's volume, the stronger the breaker block is.
The strength of Order & Breaker Blocks are calculated by the size of the block to the Average True Range (ATR) of the chart.
3. Fair Value Gaps
Fair value gaps often occur when there is an imbalance in the market, and can be spotted with a specific formation on the chart.
The volume when the FVG occurs plays an important role when determining the strength of it, so we've placed two bars on the FVG zone, indicating the high & low volumes of the FVG. The high volume is the total volume of the last two bars on a bullish FVG, while the low volume is - of the FVG. For a bearish FVG, the total volume of the last two bars is the low volume. The indicator can also detect FVGs that exist in other timeframes than the current chart.
4. Inversion Fair Value Gaps
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
5. Market Structures
Sometimes specific market structures form and break as the market fills buy & sell orders. Formed Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) often mean that market will change direction, and they can be spotted by inspecting low & high pivot points of the chart.
The number of times the chart recently had a BOS is displayed between brackets, Ex : (3)
6. Liquidity Zones
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity zones are where most traders place their take-profits and stop-losses in their long / short positions. They are spotted by using high & low pivot points on the chart.
7. Liquidity Grabs
Liquidity grabs occur when one of the latest pivots has a false breakout. Then, if the wick to body ratio of the bar is higher than 0.5 (can be changed from the settings) a liquidity grab has occurred.
8. Premium & Discount Zones
The premium zone is a zone that is over the fair value of the asset's price, and the discount zone is the opposite. They are formed by the latest high & low pivot points.
If the latest close price is outside the Premium or Discount zone, you will see "Premium ⬆️" or "Discount ⬇️". These mean that the price is currently higher than the premium zone or lower than the discount zone.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener offers a comprehensive dashboard for traders, combining multiple analytical elements with customizable settings to aid in decision-making across different tickers and timeframes.

[UST] Protein+Support/Resistance Script: A Comprehensive Overview
Thanks to Pmgjiv for providing the foundation to this improved Version.
In the world of trading, having a robust support and resistance analysis tool can make a significant difference in decision-making and overall strategy. Let's delve into the enhancements made to the support/resistance script and how each component contributes to a trader's arsenal:
Changes and improvements made for the script to help Traders make better rational decisions in their Trading:
1. Multiple Timeframes:
Integrating multiple timeframes into the analysis provides a multi-dimensional view of the market. Traders can now assess price action across different time horizons simultaneously. This feature allows for a deeper understanding of market dynamics and helps in identifying significant support and resistance levels across various timeframes.
2. Timeframe Labels Inside Zones:
By including timeframe labels within the zones, traders can easily identify the origin of each support or resistance level. This contextual information enhances clarity and facilitates more informed decision-making, especially when navigating through multiple timeframes.
3. Visual Zone Update:
Visual updates on zones enable traders to track changes in support and resistance levels in real-time. This dynamic feature enhances the analytical process by providing immediate insights into evolving market conditions, thereby enabling traders to adapt their strategies accordingly.
4. Zones Hit:
Understanding the frequency and intensity of zone hits offers valuable insights into the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels. Traders can gauge the significance of each zone based on its historical interaction with price, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
5. Option to Turn off Current Timeframe:
The ability to toggle off the current timeframe streamlines chart analysis by focusing only on the most critical support and resistance zones. This decluttering feature helps traders prioritize key levels, reducing cognitive overload and enhancing decision-making efficiency.
Explanation of Additional Functions:
a. Lookback:
The 'lookback' parameter allows traders to customize the age of support and resistance zones based on their trading style and preferences. By adjusting the lookback setting, traders can choose whether to prioritize recent price action or consider historical data, thus tailoring the analysis to their specific trading strategies.
b. Swinglength:
Swinglength determines the sensitivity of the support and resistance zones. By modifying this parameter, traders can control how aggressively the script identifies pivot points. A higher swinglength value results in smoother, more stable zones, whereas a lower value increases sensitivity, capturing smaller price movements.
c. ZigZag Indicator:
The ZigZag indicator plays a pivotal role in identifying significant price reversals. Its period setting determines the number of price bars considered before confirming a pivot point. Traders can utilize this indicator to identify key turning points in the market, aiding in the identification of robust support and resistance levels.
Impact of Sensitivity on Zones:
Adjusting the sensitivity of the ZigZag indicator directly influences the identification and delineation of support and resistance zones. Higher sensitivity levels result in fewer but more robust zones, capturing significant price movements. Conversely, lower sensitivity levels yield more zones, accommodating smaller price fluctuations but potentially introducing noise into the analysis.
d. S/R Range:
The ability to adjust the width of support and resistance zones allows traders to customize the breadth of key areas on a chart. Choosing a wider range encompasses a broader spectrum of prices, thereby identifying more comprehensive support and resistance levels. This flexibility enables traders to adapt their analysis to different market conditions and trading strategies.
Utilization in Trading:
Comprehensive Analysis: By incorporating multiple timeframes, traders gain a holistic view of market dynamics, enabling them to identify high-probability trading opportunities across various horizons.
Contextual Understanding: Timeframe labels within zones provide context, helping traders understand the significance of each level in relation to different timeframes and market conditions.
Real-time Adaptability: Visual zone updates facilitate real-time analysis, allowing traders to adjust their strategies promptly in response to changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-making: By considering zone hits, traders can assess the strength and relevance of support and resistance levels, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Customized Analysis: Adjustable parameters such as lookback, swinglength, and sensitivity empower traders to tailor the analysis to their individual trading styles and preferences, enhancing precision and effectiveness.
In summary, these enhancements to the support/resistance script provide traders with a powerful toolkit for analyzing market dynamics, identifying key levels, and executing well-informed trading strategies across various timeframes and market conditions.
ICT Daily Bias by Fahmi EshaqICT Daily Bias helps us determine where the market is likely to go for the day. The ICT Daily Bias tool aids in forecasting the likely direction of the market for the day. It delineates the previous day's high and low levels, providing insights into potential price movements whether the market is expected to touch the previous day's high or low.
Dynamic Order Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Dynamic Order Blocks indicator displays the most recent unmitigated bullish and bearish order blocks on the chart, providing dynamic support/resistance areas.
When price sweeps an order block, this is highlighted by the script indicating a potential reversal.
The average between the displayed order blocks is also displayed.
🔶 USAGE
Order blocks are a popular method of price action analysis, representing price areas where more significant market participants accumulate their orders.
Displaying order blocks dynamically allows obtaining relevant areas of support/resistance. Users can obtain longer-term order blocks using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting.
Users can also use mitigation events to assess the current trend direction, with price mitigating a bearish order block (breaking above the upper extremity) indicating an uptrend, and price mitigating a bullish order block (breaking below the lower extremity) indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Average Level
An average level obtained from the displayed bullish and bearish order blocks is included in the indicator and offers an additional polyvalent dynamic support/resistance level.
The change of direction of the average line can also be indicative of the current trend direction.
🔹 Dynamic Sweeps
Price sweeping the mitigation level of an order block is highlighted on the chart using bordered rectangles. These highlight a breakout failure and can be indicative of a potential reversal.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Period of the swing detection used to construct order blocks. Higher values will return longer-term order blocks.
Use Candle Body: Use the candle body as the order block area instead of the candle full range.
ICT Silver Bullet Vertical Lines by Fahmi EshaqThis indicator is designed for users interested in backtesting the Silver Bullet strategy. It eliminates the need for manual drawing of vertical lines by automatically highlighting specific times known as ICT Silver Bullet times. These times correspond to periods when smart money are active the market. The indicator marks these Silver Bullet times with vertical lines, making them easily identifiable. The specified Silver Bullet times are 3AM-4AM, 10AM-11AM, and 2PM-3PM New York time. Additionally, a vertical line is added at 12:00AM to demarcate the start of each day, as days begin at midnight.
Market Structure (Intrabar) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Intrabar) indicator is designed to automatically detect and highlight real-time intrabar market structures, a core component of the Smart Money Concepts methodology.
🔶 USAGE
The proposed indicator gives a detailed picture of the most recent candle lower timeframe trends, highlighting market structures within them.
This can be particularly useful to assess the price dynamic within the most recent candle. For example, we can see how pronounced a trend is by the number of opposite bullish/bearish market structures formed within the candle.
Users can select the intrabar timeframe of interest from the "Intrabar Timeframe" setting, using a timeframe significantly lower than the chart timeframe will return more intrabar candles and potentially more market structures.
🔹 Dashboard
Users have access to a dashboard returning useful statistics such as the number of formed CHoCH's and BOS's from the intrabar prices. These can be indicative of how predominant a trend is within the intrabar data or if there exist multiple trends.
🔶 DETAILS
Market structures allow determining trend continuations as well as trend reversals in the market through two distinct structures:
🔹 Change of Character (CHoCH)
A change of character (CHoCH) refers to a shift in the market behavior of a security that is driven by changes in the underlying supply and demand dynamics. CHoCH's are indicative of confirmed reversals.
🔹 Break of Structure (BoS)
The break of structure (BoS) refers to the point at which a key level of support or resistance is broken. BOS's are indicative of confirmed trend continuations.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Inside the Bar Market Structure
Intrabar Timeframe: Lower timeframe setting option, if set to 'Auto' the script will determine the lower timeframe based on the chart timeframe.
Intrabar Market Structure, Length: Toggles the visibility of the break of structures and change of characters. Length defines the detection length of the swing levels.
Intrabar Swing Levels: Toggles the visibility of the swing levels, including a color customization option for highs and lows.
Intrabar Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard. Some further statistical details are presented in the tooltips of the table cells
🔹 General
Market Structure Colors: Color customization option for the break of structure and change of character lines and labels.
Intrabar Candle Colors: Color customization option for intrabar candles.
Intrabar Candles Horizontal Offset: Adjusting the intrabar candles horizontal position
Dashboard: Dashboard position and size customization option
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Please note that seconds-based intervals are available for premium and professional plan holders, which implies that the seconds-based intervals usage of the indicator may not be available for all users depending on their subscription plan.

Smart Money Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Mitigated Major OB Proof🔵 Introduction
"Smart money" is money invested by knowledgeable individuals at the right time, and this investment can yield the highest returns.
The concept we focus on in this indicator is whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The market briefly takes a weak and reversal trend with "Minor BoS" without being able to break the major pivot.
In the next step, it returns to its main trend with a strong bullish move and continues its trend with a "Major BoS". The "order block" behind this rapid and powerful movement can be a valid order block for trading.
To better understand this setup, please refer to the explanations in the two images below.

🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, you should wait for trading opportunities to form. By changing the "Time Frame" and "Period Pivot", you can see different trading positions. In general, the lower the "Time Frame" and "Period Pivot", the higher the likelihood of forming trading opportunities.

Smart Money Setup 01 [TradingFinder]Double Order Blocks Proof🔵 Introduction
The Price Action, styled as the "Smart Money Concept" or "SMC," was introduced by Mr. David J. Crouch in 2000 and is one of the most modern technical styles in the financial world. In financial markets, Smart Money refers to capital controlled by major market players (central banks, funds, etc.), and these traders can accurately predict market trends and achieve the highest profits.
In the "Smart Money" style, various types of "order blocks" can be traded. This indicator uses a type of "order block" originating from "BoS" (Breakout of Structure). The most important feature of this indicator is the confirmation of two order blocks.
🟣 Important
For example, after the first "BoS" and the formation of the first Order Block, if a second "BoS" occurs before touching the price of the first Order Block and the formation of the second Order Block, a trading setup with 2 order blocks is formed, which confirms the dominant market trend.
For a better understanding of this subject, see the explanations in the following two images.

Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.
TTrades Daily Bias [TFO]Inspired by @TTrades_edu video on daily bias, this indicator aims to develop a higher timeframe bias and collect data on its success rate. While a handful of concepts were introduced in said video, this indicator focuses on one specific method that utilizes previous highs and lows. The following description will outline how the indicator works using the daily timeframe as an example, but the weekly timeframe is also an included option that functions in the exact same manner.
On the daily timeframe, there are a handful of possible scenarios that we consider: if price closes above its previous day high (PDH), the following day's bias will target PDH; if price trades above its PDH but closes back below it, the following day's bias will target its previous day low (PDL).
Similarly, if price closes below its PDL, the following day's bias will target PDL. If price trades below its PDL but closes back above it, the following day's bias will target PDH.
If price trades as an inside bar that doesn't take either PDH or PDL, it will refer to the previous candle for bias. If the previous day closed above its open, it will target PDH and vice versa. If price trades as an outside bar that takes both PDH and PDL, but closes inside that range, no bias is assigned.
With a rigid framework in place, we can apply it to the charts and observe the results.
As shown above, each new day starts by drawing out the PDH and PDL levels. They start out as blue and turn red once traded through (these are the default colors which can be changed in the indicator's settings). The triangles you see are plotted to indicate the time at which PDH or PDL was traded through. This color scheme is also applied to the table in the top right; once a bias is determined, that cell's color starts out as blue and turns red once the level is traded through.
The table indicates the success rate of price hitting the levels provided by each period's bias, followed by the success rate of price closing through said levels after reaching them, as well as the sample size of data collected for each scenario.
In the above crude oil futures (CL1!) 30m chart, we can glean a lot of information from the table in the top right. First we may note that the "PDH" cell is red, which indicates that the current day's bias was targeting PDH and it has already traded through that level. We might also note that the "PWH" cell is blue, which indicates that the weekly bias is targeting the previous week high (PWH) but price has yet to reach that level.
As an example of how to read the table's data, we can look at the "PDH" row of the crude oil chart above. The sample size here indicates that there were 279 instances where the daily bias was assigned as PDH. From this sample size, 76.7% of instances did go on to trade through PDH, and only 53.7% of those instances actually went on to close through PDH after hitting that level.
Of course, greater sample sizes and therefore greater statistical significance may be derived from higher timeframe charts that may go further back in time. The amount of data you can observe may also depend on your TradingView plan.
If we don't want to see the labels describing why bias is assigned a certain way, we can simply turn off the "Show Bias Reasoning" option. Additionally, if we want to see a visual of what the daily and weekly bias currently is, we can plot that along the top and bottom of the chart, as shown above. Here I have daily bias plotted at the top and weekly bias at the bottom, where the default colors of green and red indicate that the bias logic is expecting price to draw towards the given timeframe's previous high or low, respectively.
For a compact table view that doesn't take up much chart space, simply deselect the "Show Statistics" option. This will only show the color-coded bias column for a quick view of what levels are being anticipated (more user-friendly for mobile and other smaller screens).
Alerts can be configured to indicate the bias for a new period, and/or when price hits its previous highs and lows. Simply enable the alerts you want from the indicator's settings and create a new alert with this indicator as the condition. There will be options to use "Any alert() function call" which will alert whatever is selected from the settings, or you can use more specific alerts for bullish/bearish bias, whether price hit PDH/PDL, etc.
Lastly, while the goal of this indicator was to evaluate the effectiveness of a very specific bias strategy, please understand that past performance does not guarantee future results.
