Liquidity Levels Pro Tool - thewallranka
Liquidity Levels Pro Tool is a market-structure and liquidity-mapping indicator designed to help discretionary futures and index traders identify statistically relevant price levels where reactions, continuations, or liquidity sweeps are more likely to occur.
This script is a decision-support tool, not a signal generator. It does not issue buy/sell alerts or predict future price movement. Instead, it organizes and scores liquidity information so traders can make their own contextual decisions.
What this indicator does
The script continuously detects and maintains liquidity zones derived from price pivots, then evaluates those zones using multiple structural and contextual factors:
Repeated price interaction (touches)
Freshness (time since last interaction)
Confluence with key reference levels
Reaction behavior after contact
Session relevance (RTH vs overnight)
Market regime (trend vs mean reversion)
Time-of-day effects (open, midday, power hour)
Only the most relevant zones—based on a dynamic scoring system—are displayed to reduce chart clutter and focus attention on levels that have historically mattered.
Core components
1. Liquidity Zones
Zones are built from pivot highs and lows and expanded into areas using a configurable tick-based padding. Nearby zones are merged to avoid redundancy.
Each zone is continuously evaluated and assigned a score (0–100) reflecting its relative importance.
2. Zone Scoring (No Lookahead)
Zone scores are based on:
Number of confirmed interactions
Recency of the last touch
Confluence with prior day/week levels, VWAP, and Opening Range
Reaction quality after touches (speed and follow-through)
Session alignment (zones that “work” in the current session are favored)
Penalties after liquidity sweeps
Zones are not forward-looking and do not rely on future data.
3. Context Engine
The script classifies the current environment using VWAP slope and distance:
Trend (up or down)
Mean reversion
Mixed/transition
Time-of-day context (Open, Midday, Power Hour) is also tracked internally and influences zone scoring.
This context is displayed in the HUD to support situational awareness, not automated decisions.
4. Liquidity Sweeps
Optional sweep detection highlights situations where price trades beyond a zone and closes back inside, indicating potential stop runs or failed breakouts.
Sweeps are rate-limited and applied conservatively to avoid visual noise.
5. Trade Planning Levels (Optional)
When enabled, the script highlights the nearest high-quality liquidity level above and below price based on score thresholds.
These are intended as reference targets, not trade entries or exits.
HUD (Heads-Up Display)
The on-chart HUD summarizes:
Key reference levels (prior day/week, Opening Range)
Nearest strong liquidity above/below price
Market regime and time-of-day context
Distance to levels (ticks or points)
The HUD is fully optional, positionable, and includes resizable modes (Small / Medium / Large) to fit different chart layouts.
How to use this tool
This indicator is best used as part of a discretionary trading process, for example:
Identifying areas where price is more likely to react or pause
Framing trades around higher-quality structure instead of arbitrary levels
Filtering setups based on session and regime context
Managing expectations near known liquidity rather than chasing price
It is intentionally designed not to provide trade signals.
Limitations and important notes
This script does not predict outcomes or guarantee reactions
High-scoring zones can still fail
Liquidity behavior is context-dependent and probabilistic
No performance claims or backtested results are provided
The indicator should not be used in isolation
Past behavior does not imply future results.
Chart and usage notes
The script is intended for standard time-based charts
Recommended for liquid futures and index products
Use a clean chart for clarity when publishing or sharing
No external indicators are required
Final note
Liquidity Levels Pro (Tool) — v6 is designed to organize complex market structure into a clear, readable framework, allowing traders to focus on execution and risk management rather than raw level detection.
This script reflects an analytical approach to intraday liquidity and structure, not an automated trading system.

FVG Heatmap [Hash Capital Research]FVG Map
FVG Map is a visual Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping tool built to make displacement imbalances easy to see and manage in real time. It detects 3-candle FVG zones, plots them as clean heatmap boxes, tracks partial mitigation (how much of the zone has been filled), and summarizes recent “fill speed” behavior in a small regime dashboard.
This is an indicator (not a strategy). It does not place trades and it does not publish performance claims. It is a market-structure visualization tool intended to support discretionary or systematic workflows.
What this script detects
Bullish FVG (gap below price)
A bullish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a high below the current candle’s low.
The zone spans from that prior high up to the current low.
Bearish FVG (gap above price)
A bearish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a low above the current candle’s high.
The zone spans from the current high up to that prior low.
What makes it useful
Heatmap zones (clean, readable FVG boxes)
Bullish zones plot below price. Bearish zones plot above price.
Partial fill tracking (mitigation progress)
As price trades back into a zone, the script visually shows how much of the zone has been filled.
Mitigation modes (your definition of “filled”)
• Full Fill: price fully trades through the zone
• 50% Fill: price reaches the midpoint of the zone
• First Touch: price touches the zone one time
Optional auto-cleanup
Optionally remove zones once they’re mitigated to keep the chart clean.
Fill-Speed Regime Dashboard
When zones get mitigated, the script records how many bars it took to fill and summarizes the recent environment:
• Average fill time
• Median fill time
• % fast fills vs % slow fills
• Regime label: choppy/mean-revert, trending/displacement, or mixed
How to use
Use FVG zones as structure, not guaranteed signals.
• Bullish zones are often watched as potential support on pullbacks.
• Bearish zones are often watched as potential resistance on rallies.
The fill-speed dashboard helps provide context: fast fills tend to appear in more rotational conditions, while slow fills tend to appear in stronger trend/displacement conditions.
Alerts

Bearish FVG Created
Notes
FVGs are not guaranteed reversal points. Fill-speed/regime is descriptive of recent behavior and should be treated as context, not prediction. On realtime candles, visuals may update as the bar forms.
Amihud Illiquidity Ratio [MarkitTick]💡This indicator implements the Amihud Illiquidity Ratio, a financial metric designed to measure the price impact of trading volume. It assesses the relationship between absolute price returns and the volume required to generate that return, providing traders with insight into the "stress" levels of the market liquidity.
Concept and Originality
Standard volume indicators often look at volume in isolation. This script differentiates itself by contextualizing volume against price movement. It answers the question: "How much did the price move per unit of volume?" Furthermore, unlike static indicators, this implementation utilizes dynamic percentile zones (Linear Interpolation) to adapt to the changing volatility profile of the specific asset you are viewing.
Methodology
The calculation proceeds in three distinct steps:
1. Daily Return: The script calculates the absolute percentage change of the closing price relative to the previous close.
2. Raw Ratio: The absolute return is divided by the volume. I have introduced a standard scaling factor (1,000,000) to the calculation. This resolves the issue of the values being astronomically small (displayed as roughly 0) without altering the fundamental logic of the Amihud ratio (Absolute Return / Volume).
- High Ratio: Indicates that price is moving significantly on low volume (Illiquid/Thin Order Book).
- Low Ratio: Indicates that price requires massive volume to move (Liquid/Deep Order Book).
3. Dynamic Regimes: The script calculates the 75th and 25th percentiles of the ratio over a lookback period. This creates adaptive bands that define "High Stress" and "Liquid" zones relative to recent history.
How to Use
Traders can use this tool to identify market fragility:
- High Stress Zone (Red Background): When the indicator crosses above the 75th percentile, the market is in a High Illiquidity Regime. Price is slipping easily. This is often observed during panic selling or volatile tops where the order book is thin.
- Liquid Zone (Green Background): When the indicator drops below the 25th percentile, the market is in a Liquid Regime. The market is absorbing volume well, which is often characteristic of stable trends or accumulation phases.
- Dashboard: A visual table on the chart displays the current Amihud Ratio and the active Market Regime (High Stress, Normal, or Liquid).
Inputs
- Calculation Period: The lookback length for the average illiquidity (Default: 20).
- Smoothing Period: The length of the additional moving average to smooth out noise (Default: 5).
- Show Quant Dashboard: Toggles the visibility of the on-screen information table.
● How to read this chart
• Spike in Illiquidity (Red Zones)
Price is moving on "thin air." Expect high volatility or potential reversals.
• Low Illiquidity (Green/Stable Zones)
The market is deep and liquid. Trends here are more sustainable and reliable.
• Divergence
Watch for price making new highs while liquidity is drying up—a classic sign of an exhausted trend.
Example:
● Chart Overview
The chart displays the Amihud Illiquidity indicator applied to a Gold (XAUUSD) 4-hour timeframe.
Top Pane: Price action with manual text annotations highlighting market reversals relative to liquidity zones.
Bottom Pane: The specific technical indicator defined in the logic. It features a Blue Line (Raw Illiquidity), a Red Line (Signal/Smoothed), and dynamic background coloring (Red and Green vertical strips).
● Deep Visual Analysis
• High Stress Regime (Red Zones)
Visual Event: In the bottom pane, the background periodically shifts to a translucent red.
Technical Logic: This event is triggered when the amihudAvg (the smoothed illiquidity ratio) exceeds the 75th percentile ( hZone ) of the lookback period.
Forensic Interpretation: The logic calculates the absolute price change relative to volume. A spike into the red zone indicates that price is moving significantly on relatively lower volume (high price impact). Visually, the chart shows these red zones aligning with local price peaks (volatility expansion), leading to the bearish reversal marked by the red box in the top pane.
• Liquid Regime (Green Zones)
Visual Event: The background shifts to a translucent green in the bottom pane.
Technical Logic: This triggers when the amihudAvg falls below the 25th percentile ( lZone ).
Forensic Interpretation: This state represents a period where large volumes are absorbed with minimal price impact (efficiency). On the chart, this green zone corresponds to the consolidation trough (green box, top pane), validating the annotated accumulation phase before the bullish breakout.
• Indicator Lines
Blue Line: This is the illiquidityRaw value. It represents the raw daily return divided by volume.
Red Line: This is the smoothedVal , a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the raw data, used to filter out noise and define the trend of liquidity stress.
● Anomalies & Critical Data
• The Reversal Pivot
The transition from the "High Stress" (Red) background to the "Liquid" (Green) background serves as a visual proxy for market regime change. The chart shows that as the Red zones dissipate (volatility contraction), the market enters a Green zone (efficient liquidity), which acted as the precursor to the sustained upward trend on the right side of the chart.

Absorption BubblesSUMMARY
This indicator visualizes absorption events by plotting bubbles on candle wicks where volume activity suggests one side of the market is absorbing the other’s pressure. Instead of raw volume, the script normalizes activity against a rolling standard deviation defined by the Lookback Period. Bubbles appear on upper or lower wicks depending on whether buyers or sellers are absorbing pressure. The goal is to highlight whether aggressive orders are being accepted or absorbed at key price points.
METHODOLOGY
Absorption occurs when one side of the market absorbs aggressive orders from the other, preventing continuation. The script measures normalized volume against a user‑defined threshold to filter out weaker signals.
Green bubbles on upper wicks → Selling absorption (buyers push price up, sellers absorb the buying).
Red bubbles on lower wicks → Buying absorption (sellers push price down, buyers absorb the selling).
Red‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive selling activity.
Green‑colored bars highlight candles where large volume is concentrated inside the body, signifying aggressive buying activity.
The Lookback Period controls how many bars are used to calculate the rolling standard deviation of volume, letting traders adjust sensitivity to recent vs. longer‑term activity. Optional significant volume lines extend forward, marking areas where absorption was strongest.
FUNCTIONS
Normalized volume detection using rolling standard deviation
Adjustable Lookback Period for volume normalization
Dynamic bubble plotting on candle wicks (size scales with absorption strength)
Separate visualization for buying vs. selling absorption
Alerts for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event (only at bar close)
Bar coloring when large absorption occurs inside candle bodies
APPLICATION
Setup: Add the script to any chart and timeframe. Adjust the Absorption Threshold to filter out weaker bubbles and the Lookback Period to control how volume normalization is calculated. Red bubbles highlight buying absorption, often signalling potential price pivots - price can often go upwards from this. Green bubbles mark selling absorption, reflecting resistance to upward moves - price may go downwards from this.
Interpretation:
Green bubbles on upper wicks = sellers absorbing buying pressure.
Red bubbles on lower wicks = buyers absorbing selling pressure.
Larger bubbles = stronger absorption relative to recent volume.
Settings & Use:
Raising the Absorption Threshold filters out smaller bubbles, leaving only significant absorption events.
Changing the Lookback Period alters how “normal” volume is defined — shorter periods make the script more sensitive, longer periods smooth out noise.
Alerts can be set for buying absorption, selling absorption, or any absorption event, and they only trigger at bar close to avoid noise.
3SPC Three Candle Price Action Setup3SPC (Three Candle Price Action Setup) is an open-source indicator designed to detect
a simple and clearly defined three-candle price action pattern.
The logic is based on the following structure:
• The first two candles move in the same direction (bullish or bearish).
• The third candle interacts with the real bodies of both previous candles,
which may indicate a short-term liquidity sweep or price reaction.
• A bullish setup is confirmed when price holds above the open of the first candle.
• A bearish setup is confirmed when price holds below the open of the first candle.
This script does not use oscillators or lagging indicators.
It is intended as a visual aid for discretionary traders and should be used
together with market context, risk management and higher timeframe analysis.
The script is published as open-source for educational and transparency purposes.

Liquidity Buy SignalLiquidity Buy Signal is an indicator designed to detect BUY entries based on liquidity (swing lows) combined with a bullish reversal candle pattern. It automatically marks recent swing-low zones/levels, tracks the transition from solid → dashed when a level gets broken, and then confirms a signal when price sweeps/cuts the correct level and a bullish candle pattern appears.
OANDA:EURUSD
BUY signal (green triangle) triggers when:
A bullish reversal candle pattern (based on a set of rules) is detected, and
The Liquidity chain conditions are satisfied using the most recent swing lows:
Price crosses the level with the lower wick, or
The level is within the lower 30% range of the previous candle (n-1), and
The level does not pass through the bodies of older candles (filtered by lookback).
Key settings:
Pivot Lookback: controls swing-low detection sensitivity.
Swing Area: Wick Extremity / Full Range for zone definition.
Filter lookback older bodies: filters out levels that intersect older candle bodies (skips n-2).
Style: toggle Swing Low display + zone/line colors.
Alerts:
Includes a built-in alertcondition for BUY signals (useful for notifications/webhooks).
This indicator is especially well-suited for identifying potential bottoms in a downtrend.
Note: This tool provides trading signals and should be combined with context (trend/HTF/volume/risk management) before entering trades. Not financial advice.
FOMC Sweep Reaction AP Capital – FOMC Sweep Reaction v1.0
AP Capital – FOMC Sweep Reaction v1.0 is a news-reaction and liquidity-based trading tool designed specifically to track and trade FOMC volatility on Gold (XAUUSD) and other highly reactive instruments.
The indicator focuses on liquidity sweeps, structure breaks, and EMA reclaims that commonly occur around Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions and Powell speeches, helping traders identify high-probability reversal or continuation moves after the initial spike.
🔍 What This Indicator Detects
This tool highlights the most repeatable FOMC behaviours observed across multiple months of broker data:
• Sweeps of previous day’s high or low
• Stop-hunt wicks into liquidity pools
• EMA13 reclaim after the news spike
• Break and close beyond short-term structure
• Momentum shift following volatility exhaustion
The goal is not to predict the news, but to react to confirmed price behaviour after liquidity has been taken.
📌 Core Features
• FOMC Sweep Detection
Identifies aggressive wicks into prior highs/lows during news volatility
• EMA Reclaim Confirmation
Uses EMA13 to validate momentum shift after the sweep
• Market Structure Awareness
Filters reactions that fail to break structure to avoid false reversals
• Session-Aligned Logic
Designed around London → NY → FOMC release timing
• Clean Visuals
Minimal chart clutter for fast decision-making during volatile conditions
🧠 How to Use
Wait for FOMC release / Powell speech
Allow price to sweep previous liquidity (PDH / PDL / local extremes)
Observe reclaim of EMA13
Enter only after structure confirmation
Manage trade using EMA trailing or structure-based exits
⚠️ This is a reaction system, not a prediction tool.
📊 Best Use Cases
• XAUUSD (Gold)
• NASDAQ / US indices
• High-impact macro news events
• 5-min to 15-min timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
• News volatility is extreme — risk management is essential
• Not designed for low-volatility or ranging markets
• Best combined with a clear trading plan and strict risk rules
📎 Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading during high-impact news events involves significant risk.
ICT Macro Tracker - Study Version (Original by toodegrees)This indicator is a modified study version of the ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker by toodegrees, based on the original open-source script available at The original indicator plots ICT Macro windows on the chart, corresponding to specific time [ periods when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm undergoes checks/instructions (aka "macros") for the price engine to reprice to an area of liquidity or inefficiency.
This study version adds functionality to hide bars outside macro periods. When enabled, the indicator draws boxes that cover the full chart height during non-macro periods, obscuring those bars so only macro periods are visible. This helps focus on macro-only price action. The feature is configurable, allowing users to enable or disable it and customize the box color. All original functionality remains intact.
VCAI Volume & Liquidity Map LiteVCAI Volume & Liquidity Map Lite visualises recent market participation using a horizontal liquidity/volume histogram plotted beside current price.
It shows where trading activity has clustered, where the chart is thin, and how much of that activity came from buying vs selling pressure.
This Lite edition keeps the tool simple and fast:
Yellow = buy-side volume (aggressive buyers / upward pressure)
Purple = sell-side volume (aggressive sellers / downward pressure)
Thicker sections = higher traded volume at that price
POC line (purple) marks the price with the highest volume concentration
Value Area lines (yellow dashed) mark where ~70% of volume has traded
Bars extend outward to the right of price for a clean, unobstructed chart
Lookback setting controls how many candles the map is built from
Use it to quickly identify:
high-interest price zones
low-liquidity areas where price can move fast
likely reaction levels
where momentum may slow, reverse, or break through
Designed as a lightweight, open-source tool for anyone wanting a clean liquidity/volume map without complex settings.
Part of the VCAI Lite Series.
Imbalance Heatmap (Free) – pc75A clean, efficient visualisation of liquidity voids, 3-bar imbalances, and price inefficiency zones.
This indicator highlights where the market left gaps in the order flow — areas price often revisits to rebalance.
Imbalances are displayed as stacked horizontal “heatmap strips,” making it easy to see:
Where aggressive buying/selling left a void
Whether multiple voids overlap (stronger zones)
Whether price is likely to return to fill the imbalance
How old a void is (older zones are marked differently)
This is a refined v6 rewrite based on a script I liked, completely modernised with cleaner logic, better performance, and optional labels.
🔍 Features
3-bar liquidity void detection (ICT-style logic)
Bullish imbalance when price displaces upward with no wick overlap
Bearish imbalance for downward displacement
✔ Heatmap-style visualisation
Each imbalance is sliced into multiple thin horizontal bands to create a visual density effect.
✔ Stacking intelligence
If a new void overlaps previous ones, the heatmap is drawn brighter, showing areas where the market left multiple inefficiencies.
✔ “Void xN” labels
Optional labels show how many overlapping voids existed at the moment the imbalance formed.
✔ Automatic deletion when filled
As soon as price trades back through a slice, that slice is removed.
This keeps the chart clean and focuses only on active inefficiencies.
✔ Smart ageing
Older voids are marked with a subtle border so you can distinguish freshly formed inefficiencies from historical ones.
✔ Alerts
Set alerts for when price taps a stacked imbalance zone (“Void x2” and above).
⚙ Inputs & Customisation
ATR threshold (optional)
Minimum tick size gap
Number of heatmap slices
Bullish / bearish toggles
Label toggles
Colour and transparency configuration
Max slice memory for performance
💡 How to Use
Imbalance zones often behave as:
Magnets → price gravitates toward them
Support/resistance → structure respects inefficiencies
Continuity points → used with market structure shifts
Targets → for both scalpers and swing traders
Strong (stacked) voids typically represent areas of institutional displacement, where the market is more likely to return for rebalancing.

Volume Flow Anatomy [Kodexius]Volume Flow Anatomy is a dynamic, multi-dimensional volume map that reconstructs how buy, sell, and “stealth” activity is distributed across price rather than just across time. Instead of relying on a static, session-based volume profile, it uses an exponentially decaying memory of recent bars to build a constantly evolving “anatomy” of the auction, where each price level carries an adaptive history of order flow.
The script separates buy vs. sell pressure, adds a third “Stealth Flow” dimension for low-volume price movement (ease of movement / divergence), and automatically derives POC, Value Area, imbalances, absorption zones, and classic profile shapes (D, P, b, B). This gives the trader a compact but highly information-dense map on the right side of the chart to read control (buyers vs. sellers), structure (balanced vs. trending vs. double distribution), and key reaction levels (support/resistance born from flow, not just wicks).
🔹 Features
🔸 Dynamic Lookback with Decay
- The script computes an effective lookback N from the Decay Factor and caps it with Max Lookback.
- Higher decay keeps more history; lower decay emphasizes the most recent flow.
- The profile continuously adapts as new bars are printed.
🔸 Price-Bucketed Flow Map
Each bucket accumulates:
- Sell Flow (sell pressure)
- Buy Flow (buy pressure)
- Stealth Flow (low-volume price movement)
- Box width at each bucket is proportional to the relative intensity of that component.
🔸 Stealth Flow (Low-Volume Price Movement)
- Measures close to close movement relative to volume, emphasizing price movement that occurs on comparatively low volume.
- Helps reveal hidden participation, inefficient moves, and areas that may be vulnerable to re-tests or reversions.
🔸 POC & 70% Value Area (VA)
- Identifies the Point of Control (price bucket with the highest total volume) over the effective lookback.
- Builds a 70% Value Area by expanding from POC towards the nearest high volume neighbors until 70% of the total volume is included.
- POC is drawn as a line over the analyzed range; VA is displayed as a shaded band in the profile area.
🔸 Market Profile Shape Detection
Splits the profile vertically into three zones (bottom / middle / top) and compares their volume distribution.
Classifies structure as:
- D-Shape (Balanced)
- P-Shape (Short Covering)
- b-Shape (Long Liquidation)
- B-Shape (Double Distribution)
Displays a shape label with color coded bias for quick auction context interpretation.
🔸 Imbalance Zones & Absorption
Imbalance: detects buckets where Buy Flow or Sell Flow exceeds the opposite side by at least Imbalance Ratio.
Absorption: flags zones with high volume but low price “ease”, where price is not moving much despite significant volume.
Extends these levels into horizontal zones, marking potential support/resistance and trap areas.

🔸 Range Context & On-Chart Legend
Draws a Range Box covering the dynamically determined lookback (N bars), with a label displaying the effective bar count.
A bottom-right legend summarizes:
- Color keys for Buy / Sell / Stealth
- POC / VA status
- Bullish vs. Bearish dominance percentage

🔹 Calculations
1. Dynamic Lookback & Price Buckets
int N = math.min(int(4 / (1 - decayFactor) - 1), maxHistory)
float priceHigh = ta.highest(high, N)
float priceLow = ta.lowest(low, N)
float bucketSize = (priceHigh - priceLow) / bucketCount
The effective lookback N is derived from the Decay Factor, using the approximation 4 / (1 - decay) to capture roughly 99% of the decayed influence, then capped with maxHistory to control performance. Over that adaptive range, the script finds the highest and lowest prices and divides the band into bucketCount equal slices (bucketSize). Each slice is a price bucket that will accumulate volume-flow information.
2. Exponentially Decayed Volume Allocation
addValue(array profile, float weight, float minPrice, float maxPrice) =>
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float bucketMin = priceLow + j * bucketSize
float bucketMax = bucketMin + bucketSize
float overlapMin = math.max(minPrice, bucketMin)
float overlapMax = math.min(maxPrice, bucketMax)
float overlapRange = overlapMax - overlapMin
if overlapRange > 0
profile.set(j, profile.get(j) * decayFactor + weight * overlapRange)
This function is the core engine of the indicator. For a given price span and intensity, it checks every bucket for overlap, distributes the weight proportionally to the overlapping range, and before adding new value, decays the existing bucket content by decayFactor. This results in an exponentially weighted profile: recent activity dominates, while older levels retain a gradually fading footprint.
3. POC and 70% Value Area
array totalProfile = array.new(bucketCount, 0)
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
float total = sellProfile.get(j) + buyProfile.get(j)
totalProfile.set(j, total)
if total > eaMax
eaMax := total
int pocIdx = 0
float pocVal = 0.0
for j = 0 to bucketCount - 1
if totalProfile.get(j) > pocVal
pocVal := totalProfile.get(j)
pocIdx := j
float totalSum = totalProfile.sum()
float targetSum = totalSum * 0.70
int vaLow = pocIdx
int vaHigh = pocIdx
float currentSum = pocVal
while currentSum < targetSum and (vaLow > 0 or vaHigh < bucketCount - 1)
float lowVal = vaLow > 0 ? totalProfile.get(vaLow - 1) : 0.0
float highVal = vaHigh < bucketCount - 1 ? totalProfile.get(vaHigh + 1) : 0.0
First, totalProfile is built as the sum of buy and sell flow per bucket, and eaMax (the maximum total) is tracked for later normalization. The POC bucket (pocIdx) is simply the index with the highest totalProfile value.
To compute the 70% Value Area, the algorithm starts at the POC bucket and expands outward, each step adding either the upper or lower neighbor depending on which has more volume. This continues until the cumulative volume reaches 70% of totalSum. The result is a volume-driven VA, not necessarily symmetric around POC, which more accurately represents where the market has truly traded.
4. Market Profile Shape Classification
float volTopThird = 0.0

shapeStr := "b-Shape (Long Liquidation)"
else
shapeStr := "D-Shape (Balanced)"
The profile is split into bottom, middle, and top thirds. The script compares how much volume is concentrated in each and combines that with the relative location of POC. If both extremes are heavy and the middle light, it labels a B-Shape (double distribution). If the POC is high and the top dominates the bottom, it’s a P-Shape (short covering). If the POC is low and the bottom dominates, it’s a b-Shape (long liquidation). Otherwise, it defaults to a D-Shape (balanced). This provides a quick, at-a-glance assessment of auction structure.
5. Imbalances, Absorption & Zones
bool isBuyImb = showImb and sVal > 0 and (bVal / sVal >= imbRatio)
bool isSellImb = showImb and bVal > 0 and (sVal / bVal >= imbRatio)
float volRatio = eaMax > 0 ? tVal / eaMax : 0
float stRatio = esmRange > 0 ? (stVal - esmMin) / esmRange : 1.0
bool isAbsorp = showAbsorp and volRatio > 0.6 and stRatio < 0.25
if showImbZone
if isSellImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isBuyImb
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
if isAbsorp
zoneBoxes.push(box.new(bar_index - N + 1, bucketHi, bar_index + 1, bucketLo, ...))
Imbalances are identified where one side’s volume (buy or sell) exceeds the other by at least Imbalance Ratio. These buckets are marked as buy or sell imbalance zones, indicating aggressive participation from one side.
Absorption is detected by combining a high volume ratio (volRatio) with a low normalized stealth ratio (stRatio). High volume with limited price movement suggests that opposing orders are absorbing flow at that level. Both imbalance and absorption buckets are extended into horizontal zones from the start of the lookback to the current bar, visually emphasizing key support/resistance and liquidity areas.
6. Building Buy, Sell & Stealth Profiles
sellProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
buyProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
stealthProfile := array.new(bucketCount, 0)
Three arrays are used to store Sell Flow, Buy Flow, and Stealth Flow. Bars are processed from oldest to newest so that decay is applied in correct chronological order. For each bar, a volume density (volume / range) is calculated and distributed across the candle range. Bull candles feed buyProfile, bear candles feed sellProfile.
Stealth Flow computes the close-to-close move between consecutive bars, scaled by 1 / (1 + volume). Big moves on low volume produce high stealth values, which are then allocated across the move’s price span into stealthProfile. This yields a three-layer profile per price level: directional volume and stealthy price movement.
Obsidian Flux Matrix# Obsidian Flux Matrix | JackOfAllTrades
Made with my Senior Level AI Pine Script v6 coding bot for the community!
Narrative Overview
Obsidian Flux Matrix (OFM) is an open-source Pine Script v6 study that fuses social sentiment, higher timeframe trend bias, fair-value-gap detection, liquidity raids, VWAP gravitation, session profiling, and a diagnostic HUD. The layout keeps the obsidian palette so critical overlays stay readable without overwhelming a price chart.
Purpose & Scope
OFM focuses on actionable structure rather than marketing claims. It documents every driver that powers its confluence engine so reviewers understand what triggers each visual.
Core Analytical Pillars
1. Social Pulse Engine
Sentiment Webhook Feed: Accepts normalized scores (-1 to +1). Signals only arm when the EMA-smoothed value exceeds the `sentimentMin` input (0.35 by default).
Volume Confirmation: Requires local volume > 30-bar average × `volSpikeMult` (default 2.0) before sentiment flags.
EMA Cross Validation: Fast EMA 8 crossing above/below slow EMA 21 keeps momentum aligned with flow.
Momentum Alignment: Multi-timeframe momentum composite must agree (positive for longs, negative for shorts).
2. Peer Momentum Heatmap
Multi-Timeframe Blend: RSI + Stoch RSI fetched via request.security() on 1H/4H/1D by default.
Composite Scoring: Each timeframe votes +1/-1/0; totals are clamped between -3 and +3.
Intraday Readability: Configurable band thickness (1-5) so scalpers see context without losing space.
Dynamic Opacity: Stronger agreement boosts column opacity for quick bias checks.
3. Trend & Displacement Framework
Dual EMA Ribbon: Cyan/magenta ribbon highlights immediate posture.
HTF Bias: A higher-timeframe EMA (default 55 on 4H) sets macro direction.
Displacement Score: Body-to-ATR ratio (>1.4 default) detects impulses that seed FVGs or VWAP raids.
ATR Normalization: All thresholds float with volatility so the study adapts to assets and regimes.
4. Intelligent Fair Value Gap (FVG) System
Gap Detection: Three-candle logic (bullish: low > high ; bearish: high < low ) with ATR-sized minimums (0.15 × ATR default).
Overlap Prevention: Price-range checks stop redundant boxes.
Spacing Control: `fvgMinSpacing` (default 5) avoids stacking from the same impulse.
Storage Caps: Max three FVGs per side unless the user widens the limit.
Session Awareness: Kill zone filters keep taps focused on London/NY if desired.
Auto Cleanup: Boxes delete when price closes beyond their invalidation level.
5. VWAP Magnet + Liquidity Raid Engine
Session or Rolling VWAP: Toggle resets to match intraday or rolling preferences.
Equal High/Low Scanner: Looks back 20 bars by default for liquidity pools.
Displacement Filter: ATR multiplier ensures raids represent genuine liquidity sweeps.
Mean Reversion Focus: Signals fire when price displaces back toward VWAP following a raid.
6. Session Range Breakout System
Initial Balance Tracking: First N bars (15 default) define the session box.
Breakout Logic: Requires simultaneous liquidity spikes, nearby FVG activity, and supportive momentum.
Z-Score Volume Filter: >1.5σ by default to filter noisy moves.
7. Lifestyle Liquidity Scanner
Volume Z-Scores: 50-bar baseline highlights statistically significant spikes.
Smart Money Footprints: Bottom-of-chart squares color-code buy vs sell participation.
Panel Memory: HUD logs the last five raid timestamps, direction, and normalized size.
8. Risk Matrix & Diagnostic HUD
HUD Structure: Table in the top-right summarizes HTF bias, sentiment, momentum, range state, liquidity memory, and current risk references.
Signal Tags: Aggregates SPS, FVG, VWAP, Range, and Liquidity states into a compact string.
Risk Metrics: Swing-based stops (5-bar lookback) + ATR targets (1.5× default) keep risk transparent.
Signal Families & Alerts
Social Pulse (SPS): Volume-confirmed sentiment alignment; triangle markers with “SPS”.
Kill-Zone FVG: Session + HTF alignment + FVG tap; arrow markers plus SL/TP labels.
Local FVG: Captures local reversals when HTF bias has not flipped yet.
VWAP Raid: Equal-high/low raids that snap toward VWAP; “VWAP” label markers.
Range Breakout: Initial balance violations with liquidity and imbalance confirmation; circle markers.
Liquidity Spike: Z-score spikes ≥ threshold; square markers along the baseline.
Visual Design & Customization
Theme Palette: Primary background RGB (12,6,24). Accent shading RGB (26,10,48). Long accents RGB (88,174,255). Short accents RGB (219,109,255).
Stylized Candles: Optional overlay using theme colors.
Signal Toggles: Independently enable markers, heatmap, and diagnostics.
Label Spacing: Auto-spacing enforces ≥4-bar gaps to prevent text overlap.
Customization & Workflow Notes
Adjust ATR/FVG thresholds when volatility shifts.
Re-anchor sentiment to your webhook cadence; EMA smoothing (default 5) dampens noise.
Reposition the HUD by editing the `table.new` coordinates.
Use multiples of the chart timeframe for HTF requests to minimize load.
Session inputs accept exchange-local time; align them to your market.
Performance & Compliance
Pure Pine v6: Single-line statements, no `lookahead_on`.
Resource Safe: Arrays trimmed, boxes limited, `request.security` cached.
Repaint Awareness: Signals confirm on close; alerts mirror on-chart logic.
Runtime Safety: Arrays/loops guard against `na`.
Use Cases
Measure when social sentiment aligns with structure.
Plan ICT-style intraday rebalances around session-specific FVG taps.
Fade VWAP raids when displacement shows exhaustion.
Watch initial balance breaks backed by statistical volume.
Keep risk/target references anchored in ATR logic.
Signal Logic Snapshot
Social Pulse Long/Short: `sentimentEMA` gated by `sentimentMin`, `volSpike`, EMA 8/21 cross, and `momoComposite` sign agreement. Keeps hype tied to structural follow-through.
Kill-Zone FVG Long/Short: Requires session filter, HTF EMA bias alignment, and an active FVG tap (`bullFvgTap` / `bearFvgTap`). Labels include swing stops + ATR targets pulled from `swingLookback` and `liqTargetMultiple`.
Local FVG Long/Short: Uses `localBullish` / `localBearish` heuristics (EMA slope, displacement, sequential closes) to surface intraday reversals even when HTF bias has not flipped.
VWAP Raids: Detect equal-high/equal-low sweeps (`raidHigh`, `raidLow`) that revert toward `sessionVwap` or rolling VWAP when displacement exceeds `vwapAlertDisplace`.
Range Breakouts: Combine `rangeComplete`, breakout confirmation, liquidity spikes, and nearby FVG activity for statistically backed initial balance breaks.
Liquidity Spikes: Volume Z-score > `zScoreThreshold` logs direction, size, and timestamp for the HUD and optional review workflows.
Session Logic & VWAP Handling
Kill zone + NY session inputs use TradingView’s session strings; `f_inSession()` drives both visual shading and whether FVG taps are tradeable when `killZoneOnly` is true.
Session VWAP resets using cumulative price × volume sums that restart when the daily timestamp changes; rolling VWAP falls back to `ta.vwap(hlc3)` for instruments where daily resets are less relevant.
Initial balance box (`rangeBars` input) locks once complete, extends forward, and stays on chart to contextualize later liquidity raids or breakouts.
Parameter Reference
Trend: `emaFastLen`, `emaSlowLen`, `htfResolution`, `htfEmaLen`, `showEmaRibbon`, `showHtfBiasLine`.
Momentum: `tf1`, `tf2`, `tf3`, `rsiLen`, `stochLen`, `stochSmooth`, `heatmapHeight`.
Volume/Liquidity: `volLookback`, `volSpikeMult`, `zScoreLen`, `zScoreThreshold`, `equalLookback`.
VWAP & Sessions: `vwapMode`, `showVwapLine`, `vwapAlertDisplace`, `killSession`, `nySession`, `showSessionShade`, `rangeBars`.
FVG/Risk: `fvgMinTicks`, `fvgLookback`, `fvgMinSpacing`, `killZoneOnly`, `liqTargetMultiple`, `swingLookback`.
Visualization Toggles: `showSignalMarkers`, `showHeatmapBand`, `showInfoPanel`, `showStylizedCandles`.
Workflow Recipes
Kill-Zone Continuation: During the defined kill session, look for `killFvgLong` or `killFvgShort` arrows that line up with `sentimentValid` and positive `momoComposite`. Use the HUD’s risk readout to confirm SL/TP distances before entering.
VWAP Raid Fade: Outside kill zone, track `raidToVwapLong/Short`. Confirm the candle body exceeds the displacement multiplier, and price crosses back toward VWAP before considering reversions.
Range Break Monitor: After the initial balance locks, mark `rangeBreakLong/Short` circles only when the momentum band is >0 or <0 respectively and a fresh FVG box sits near price.
Liquidity Spike Review: When the HUD shows “Liquidity” timestamps, hover the plotted squares at chart bottom to see whether spikes were buy/sell oriented and if local FVGs formed immediately after.

Vietnamese Stock: Discount Linear Regression Liquidity GrabThe Discount Linear Regression Liquidity Grab is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines statistical trend analysis with Premium/Discount Zone and Price Action logic. Unlike standard Linear Regression Channels that repaint or stretch indefinitely, this indicator is dynamic: it automatically detects volatility breakouts to "reset" the channel, creating distinct market "Sections."
This tool is designed to help traders identify trend exhaustion, fair value gaps (FVGs), and high-probability reversal or continuation zones using two distinct built-in strategies.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Channel Resets
The core engine calculates a Linear Regression Channel based on a Pearson R coefficient and Deviation multipliers.
- How it works: When price breaks out of the Upper or Lower Deviation bands, the script recognizes a shift in momentum. It "locks" the previous channel and begins calculating a new one from the breakout point.
- Benefit: This creates a historical map of market structure, showing you exactly where previous trends began and ended.
2. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Integration
For every completed section (channel), the indicator automatically highlights:
Highest High & Lowest Low Boxes: Identifies the structural range of the previous move.
- Gaps & FVGs: Automatically draws boxes for Fair Value Gaps and Price Gaps within the channel, acting as potential magnets for price.
3. The Discount Zone (New Feature)
The indicator projects a Discount Area (Red Box) from the previous section's midline down to its lowest low.
- Logic: This box represents the "Discount" pricing relative to the previous move.
- Behavior: The box extends to the right until price successfully "grabs liquidity" (closes below the midline/red line). Once the grab occurs, the box stops extending, marking that the liquidity event is complete.
Built-In Strategies
This indicator includes two automated strategy signals based on the interaction between current price and historical sections.
Strategy 1: Breakout & Retest (Trend Continuation)
This strategy looks for a classic resistance-turned-support setup.
- Breakout: Price closes above the Highest High of a previous section (Triangle Up).
- Retest: Price pulls back and closes at or below that breakout level (Triangle Down).
- Confirmation: Price breaks above the high of the initial breakout candle (Green Background).
Strategy 2: Midline Reclaim (Mean Reversion / Discount Buy)
This strategy focuses on buying from the "Discount" zone.
- Liquidity Grab: Price drops below the Midline (Red Line) of a previous section, entering the Discount Zone.
- Reclaim: Price closes back above the Midline, signaling that the dip was bought up.
Signal: A Diamond shape and Teal Background appear.
How to Use
- Trend Trading: Use the Dynamic Channels to visualize the current slope. If the channel is angling up, look for long setups.
- Confluence: Use the Discount Zones and FVG boxes as areas of interest. If price enters a Red Discount Box and forms a reversal pattern, it is a high-probability entry.
- Stop Loss Placement: The Lowest Low boxes of previous sections serve as excellent invalidation points for long positions.
Alerts
The indicator comes with pre-configured alerts for:
- Strategy 1 Confirmation.
- Strategy 2 Midline Reclaim.
- New Channel Formation (Trend Reset).
- Liquidity Grab Events.
Simulated Liquidation Heatmap [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
This indicator visualizes where clusters of stop-loss orders and liquidation levels are likely located, displayed as a 'heatmap'. It's based on the concept of market structure liquidity: large groups of stop orders tend to gather around obvious technical levels (like swing highs and lows), and these pools of orders often attract price movement from institutional traders. The indicator uses a fractal-based algorithm to identify these high-probability liquidation zones and displays them as dynamic, color-coded boxes.
The key feature is the thermal color gradient, which indicates the freshness (age) and therefore the relative relevance of the liquidity zone. Hot colors (e.g., Red/Yellow) represent fresh clusters that have just formed, suggesting strong and immediate liquidity interest. Cold colors (e.g., Blue/Purple) represent aged or decaying clusters that are becoming less relevant over time. This visualization allows traders to anticipate potential liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) and understand areas of significant retail and institutional positioning.
🟢 Key Features
1. Liquidity Zone Heatmap
The core function is the identification of swing high and swing low price points using a user-defined Lookback period. These points are where retail traders are statistically most likely to place their stop-loss orders. The indicator simulates the clustering of these orders by drawing a zone (box) around the detected swing point, with the vertical size controlled by the Stop/Liquidation Zone Width (%) setting.
▶ Cluster Lookback: Defines the sensitivity of swing point detection. Lower values detect frequent, minor zones (scalping/intraday); higher values detect major, stronger swing points (swing trading).
▶ Zone Width (%): Sets the percentage range above and below the swing point where stops are simulated to cluster, accounting for slippage and typical stop placement spread.
▶ Liquidity Decay: Zones gradually fade in color intensity and are eventually removed after the user-defined Liquidity Decay Period (Bars), ensuring the heatmap only displays relevant, current liquidity areas.
▶ Round Number Filter: An optional filter that limits the display to liquidity zones occurring only at psychologically significant round numbers (e.g., $100, $1,500.00), which typically attract higher concentrations of orders.
2. Thermal Color Gradient
The heatmap's color is a direct function of the zone's age, providing a visual proxy for immediate relevance.
▶ Freshness: Newly created zones are displayed in the Hot Color (high relevance).
▶ Decay: As bars pass, the zone color transitions along the gradient toward the Cold Color and increased transparency (lower relevance), until it is removed entirely.
▶ Color Schemes: Multiple pre-configured and custom color schemes are available to optimize the visualization for different chart themes and color preferences.
3. Liquidity Heat Thermometer
An optional visual thermometer is displayed on the chart to provide an instant, overall assessment of the current liquidation heat level in the immediate vicinity of the price.
▶ Calculation: The thermometer calculates an aggregate heat score based on the age and proximity of all liquidity zones within a user-defined Zone Detection Range (%) of the current price.
▶ Visual Feedback: A marker (triangle) points to the corresponding level on the thermometer's color gradient (Hot to Cold). A high reading indicates price is close to fresh, dense stop clusters, suggesting high volatility or an imminent liquidity sweep is probable. A low reading indicates price is in a low-density or aged liquidity area.
▶ Customization: The thermometer's resolution, position, and text size are fully customizable for optimal chart placement and readability.
🟢 Practical Applications
▶ Anticipate Sweeps: Prioritize trading in the direction of Hot (fresh) liquidity zones. For example, a hot low-side zone suggests strong sell-side liquidity (stop-losses) is available for large buyers to sweep.
▶ Filter Noise: Use the Round Number Filter to focus only on the highest probability liquidation zones, which are often at clean, psychological price levels.
▶ Validate Entries: Combine the Heat Thermometer with price action analysis. A rising heat level indicates increasing proximity to a major stop cluster, signaling a potential turn or an aggressive market move to sweep those stops.
▶ Risk Management: Understand that price often acts dynamically around these zones. High heat levels imply high risk/reward setups; stops should be placed strategically beyond the defined Liquidation Zone Width.
▶ Multi-Timeframe Context: Higher timeframes (e.g., Daily, 4-Hour) often reveal more significant, major liquidity zones. Use this indicator on lower timeframes (e.g., 5-min, 15-min) for execution, but prioritize zones that align with higher-timeframe structures.
Session Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework - TrendPredator OBSession Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework — TrendPredator Open Box
Stacey Burke’s trading approach combines concepts from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His framework focuses on reading price behaviour across daily templates and identifying how markets move through recurring cycles of expansion, contraction, and reversal. While effective, much of this analysis requires real-time interpretation of session-based behaviour, which can be demanding for traders working on lower intraday timeframes.
The TrendPredator indicators formalize parts of this methodology by introducing mechanical rules for multi-timeframe bias tracking and session structure analysis. They aim to present the key elements of the system—bias, breakouts, fakeouts, and range behaviour—in a consistent and objective way that reduces discretionary interpretation.
The Open Box indicator focuses specifically on the opening behaviour of major trading sessions. It builds on principles found in classical Open Range Breakout (ORB) techniques described by Tony Crabel, where a defined time window around the session open forms a structural reference range. Price behaviour relative to this range—breaking out, failing back inside, or expanding—can highlight developing session bias, potential trap formation, and directional conviction.
This indicator applies these concepts throughout the major equity sessions. It automatically maps the session’s initial range (“Open Box”) and tracks how price interacts with it as liquidity and volatility increase. It also incorporates related structural references such as:
* the first-hour high and low of the futures session
* the exact session open level
* an anchored VWAP starting at the session open
* automated expansion levels projected from the Open Box
In combination, these components provide a unified view of early session activity, including breakout attempts, fakeouts, VWAP reactions, and liquidity targeting. The Open Box offers a structured lens for observing how price transitions through the major sessions (Asia → London → New York) and how these behaviours relate to higher-timeframe bias defined in the broader TrendPredator framework.
Core Features
Open Box (Session Structure)
The indicator defines an initial session range beginning at the selected session open. This “Open Box” represents a fixed time window—commonly the first 30 minutes, or any user-defined duration—that serves as a structural reference for analysing early session behaviour.
The range highlights whether price remains inside the box, breaks out, or rejects the boundaries, providing a consistent foundation for interpreting early directional tendencies and recognising breakout, continuation, or fakeout characteristics.
How it works:
* At the session open, the indicator calculates the high and low over the specified time window.
* This range is plotted as the initial structure of the session.
* Price behaviour at the boundaries can illustrate emerging bias or potential trap formation.
* An optional secondary range (e.g., 15-minute high/low) can be enabled to capture early volatility with additional precision.
Inputs / Options:
* Session specifications (Tokyo, London, New York)
* Open Box start and end times (e.g., equity open + first 30 minutes, or any custom length)
* Open Box colour and label settings
* Formatting options for Open Box high and low lines
* Optional secondary range per session (e.g., 15-minute high/low)
* Forward extension of Open Box high/low lines
* Number of historic Open Boxes to display
Session VWAPs
The indicator plots VWAPs for each major trading session—Asia, London, and New York—anchored to their respective session opens. These session-specific VWAPs assist in tracking how value develops through the day and how price interacts with session-based volume distributions.
How it works:
* At each session open, a VWAP is anchored to the open price.
* The VWAP updates throughout the session as new volume and price data arrive.
* Deviations above or below the VWAP may indicate balance, imbalance, or directional control.
* Viewed together, session VWAPs help identify transitions in value across sessions.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable VWAP per session
* Adjustable anchor and end times (optionally to end of day)
* Line styling and label settings
* Number of historic VWAPs to draw
First Hour High/Low Extensions
The indicator marks the high and low formed during the first hour of each session. These reference points often function as early control levels and provide context for assessing whether the session is establishing bias, consolidating, or exhibiting reversal behaviour.
How it works:
* After the session starts, the indicator records the highest and lowest prices during the first hour.
* These levels are plotted and extended across the session.
* They provide a visual reference for observing reactions, targets, or rejection zones.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable for each session
* Line style, colour, and label visibility
* Number of historic sessions displayed
EQO Levels (Equity Open)
The indicator plots the opening price of each configured session. These “Equity Open” levels represent short-term reference points that can attract price early in the session.
Once the level is revisited after the Open Box has formed, it is automatically cut to avoid clutter. If not revisited, the line remains as an untested reference, similar to a naked point of control.
How it works:
* At session open, the open price is recorded.
* The level is plotted as a local reference.
* If price interacts with the level after the Open Box completes, the line is cut.
* Untested EQOs extend forward until interacted with.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Line style and label settings
* Optional extension into the next day
* Option for cutting vs. hiding on revisit
* Number of historic sessions displayed
OB Range Expansions (Automatic)
Range expansions are calculated from the height of the Open Box. These levels provide structured reference zones for identifying potential continuation or exhaustion areas within a session.
How it works:
* After the Open Box is formed, multiples of the range (e.g., 1×, 2×, 3×) are projected.
* These expansion levels are plotted above and below the range.
* Price reactions near these areas can illustrate continuation, hesitation, or potential reversal.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable per session
* Select number of multiples
* Line style, colour, and label settings
* Extension length into the session
Stacey Burke 12-Candle Window Marker
The indicator can highlight the 12-candle window often referenced in Stacey Burke’s session methodology. This window represents the key active period of each session where breakout attempts, volatility shifts, and reversal signatures often occur.
How it works:
* A configurable window (default 12 candles) is highlighted from each session open.
* This window acts as a guide for observing active session behaviour.
* It remains visible throughout the session for structural context.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Configurable window duration (default: 3 hours)
* Colour and transparency controls
Concept and Integration
The Open Box is built around the same multi-timeframe logic that underpins the broader TrendPredator framework.
While higher-timeframe tools track bias and setups across the H8–D–W–M levels, the Open Box focuses on the H1–M30 domain to define session structure and observe how early intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe conditions.
The indicator integrates with the TrendPredator FO (Breakout, Fakeout & Trend Switch Detector), which highlights microstructure signals on lower timeframes (M15/M5). Together they form a layered workflow:
* Higher timeframes: context, bias, and developing setups
* TrendPredator OB: intraday and intra-session structure
* TrendPredator FO: microstructure confirmation (e.g., FOL/FOH, switches)
This alignment provides a structured way to observe how daily directional context interacts with intraday behaviour.
See the public open source indicator TP FO here (click on it for access):
Practical Application
Before Session Open
* Review previous session Open Box, Open level, and VWAPs
* Assess how higher-timeframe bias aligns with potential intraday continuation or reversal
* Note untested EQO levels or VWAPs that may function as liquidity attractors
During Session Open
* Observe behaviour around the first-hour high/low and higher-timeframe reference levels
* Monitor how the M15 and 30-minute ranges close
* Track reactions relative to the session open level and the session VWAP
After the Open Box completes
* Assess price interaction with Open Box boundaries and first-hour levels
* Use microstructure signals (e.g., FOH/FOL, switches) for potential confirmation
* Refer to expansion levels as reference zones for management or target setting
After Session
* Review how price behaved relative to the Open Box, EQO levels, VWAPs, and expansion zones
* Analyse breakout attempts, fakeouts, and whether intraday structure aligned with the broader daily move
Example Workflow and Trade
1. Higher-timeframe analysis signals a Daily Fakeout Low Continuation (bullish context).
2. The New York session forms an Open Box; price breaks above and holds above the first-hour high.
3. A Fakeout Low + Switch Bar appears on M5 (via FO), after retesting the session VWAP triggering the entry.
4. 1x expansion level serves as reference targets for take profit.
Relation to the TrendPredator Ecosystem
The Open Box is part of the TrendPredator Indicator Family, designed to apply multi-timeframe logic consistently across:
* higher-timeframe context and setups
* intraday and session structure (OB)
* microstructure confirmation (FO)
Together, these modules offer a unified structure for analysing how daily and intraday cycles interact.

Trend Mastery:The Calzolaio Way🌕 Find the God Candle. Capture the gains. Create passive income.
Fellow F.I.R.E. Decibels, disciples of the Calzolaio Way—welcome to the sacred toolkit. This indicator, "SulLaLuna 💵 Trend Mastery:The Calzolaio Way🚀," is forged from the elite SulLaLuna stack, drawing wisdom from Market Wizards like Michael Marcus (who turned $30k into $80M through disciplined trend riding) and Oliver Velez's pristine strategies for profiting on every trade. It's not just lines on a chart—it's your architectural blueprint for financial sovereignty, where data meets divine timing to build the cathedral of Project Calzolaio.
We trade math, not emotion. We honor timeframes. Confluence is King. This indicator deploys the Zero-Lag SMA (ZLSMA), Hull-based M2 (global money supply as a macro trend oracle), ATR-smart stops, and multi-TF alignments to ritualize God Candle setups. Backtested across asset classes, it's modular for your playbooks—small risks, compounding gains, passive income streams.
Why This Indicator is Awesome: The Divine Confluence Engine
In the spirit of "Use Only the Best," this tool synthesizes proven SulLaLuna indicators like ZLSMA, Adaptive Trend Finder, and Momentum HUD with Velez's lessons on trend reversals, support/resistance, and psychology of fear. Here's why it reigns supreme:
1. Global M2 Hull: Macro Trend Oracle
Scaled M2 (summed from major economies like US, EU, JP) via Hull MA captures the "big picture" (Velez Ch. 2). It flips colors as S/R—green for support (bullish bounce zones), red for resistance (bearish ceilings), orange neutral. Like Marcus spotting commodity booms, it signals when liquidity sweeps ignite God Candles. Extend it for future price projections, honoring "How a Trend Ends" (Velez Ch. 5).
2. ZLSMA + ATR Smart Stops: Surgical Precision
Zero-Lag SMA (faster than standard MAs) crosses M2 for entries, with ATR bands for initial stops (2x mult) and trails (1x mult). This embodies "Trade Small. Lose Smaller."—risk ≤1-2% per trade, pre-planned exits. Flip markers (↑/↓) alert divine timing, filtering noise like Velez's "First Pullback" setups.
3. HTF & Multi-TF Dashboard: Timeframe Alignments are Sacred
Show HTF M2 (e.g., Daily) with custom styles/colors. Multi-TF lines (4H, D, W, M) dash across your chart, labeled right-edge with 🚀 (bull) or 🛸 (bear). A confluence table (top-right) scores alignments: Strong Bull (≥3 green), Strong Bear, or Mixed. This is "Confluence is King"—no single signal rules; seek 4+ star scores like Rogers buying value in hysteria.
4. Background & Ribbon: Visual Divine Guidance
Slope-based bgcolor (green bull, red bear) for at-a-glance bias. M2 Ribbon (EMA cloud) flips triangles for macro shifts, ritualizing climactic reversals (Velez Ch. 7).
5. Composite Probability: High-Prob God Candle Hunter
Scores (0-100%) blend 8 factors: price/ZLSMA vs M2, TF slopes, ribbon. Threshold (70%) + pivot zone (near M2/ATR) + optional cross filters for HP signals. Labels show "%" dynamically—alerts fire when confluence ≥4, echoing Schwartz's champion edge: "Everybody Gets What They Want" (Seykota wisdom).

Suggested Strategy: The SulLaLuna M2 Confluence Playbook
Honor the Risk Triad: Position ↓ if leverage/timeframe ↑; scale ↑ only on ≥4 confluence. Align with "God Candle" hunts—rare explosives reverse-engineered for passive streams.
1. Pre-Trade Checklist (Before Every Entry)
- Trend Alignment: D/4H/1H M2 slopes agree? Table shows Strong Bull/Bear?
- Signal on 15m: ZLSMA crosses M2 in confluence zone (near pivot/ATR bands).
- Volume + Divergence**: Supported by volume (use HUD if added); score ≥70%.
- SL/TP Setup: ATR-based stop; TP at structure/2-3R reward (Velez Reward:Risk).
- HTF Agrees: Monthly bull for longs; avoid counter-trend unless climactic (Ch. 7).
Confluence Score: Rate 1-5 stars. <3? Stand aside. Log emotional state—no adrenaline.
2. Execution Protocol
- Entry: On HP Long/Short triangle (e.g., ZLSMA > M2, score 80%+, monthly bull). Use limits; favor longs above M2 support.
- Position Size: ≤1-2% risk. Example: $10k account, 1% risk = $100 SL distance → size accordingly.
- Trail Stops: Move to trail band after 1R profit; let winners run like Kovner's world trades.
- Asset Classes**: Forex/stocks/crypto—test M2's macro edge on EURUSD or NASDAQ (Velez Ch. 6 reviews).

3. Post-Trade Ritual
- Document: Result, confluence score, lessons. Update journal.
- Exits: Hit stop/exit cross? Or trail locks gains.
- Weekly Audit: Wins/losses, anomalies. Adjust params (e.g., M2 length 55 default).
4. Risk Triad in Action
- Low TF (15m)? Smaller size.
- High Leverage? Tiny positions.
- Confluence ≥4 + HTF support? Scale hold for passive compounding.
Example Setup: God Candle Long
- Chart: 15m EURUSD.
- M2 Hull green (support), ZLSMA crossover, 4H/D/W bull (table: Strong Bull).
- HP Long (85% score) near pivot.
- Entry: Limit at cross; SL below ATR lower; TP at next resistance.
- Outcome: Capture 2R gain; trail for more if trend day (Velez Ch. 5).

The 'Qualified' POI Scorer [PhenLabs]📊 The “Qualified” POI Scorer (Q-POI)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The “Qualified” POI Scorer helps intermediate traders overcome "analysis paralysis" by filtering Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structures based on their probability. Instead of flooding your chart with every possible Order Block, this script assigns a proprietary “Quality Score” (0-100) to each zone. It analyzes the strength of the displacement, the presence of imbalances (FVG), and liquidity mechanics to determine which zones are worth your attention. It is designed to clean up your charts and enforce discipline by visually fading out low-quality setups.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dynamic “Glass UI” Transparency that automatically fades weak zones based on their score.
Proprietary Scoring Algorithm (0-100) based on three distinct institutional factors.
Visual Icon System that prints analytical context (💧— 🚀/🐌—🧱) directly on the chart.
Automated Mitigation Tracking that changes the visual state of zones after they are tested.
Displacement Velocity calculation using ATR to verify institutional intent.
🔧 Core Components
Liquidity Sweep Engine: Detects if a pivot point grabbed liquidity from the previous X bars before reversing.
FVG Validator: Checks if the move away from the zone created a valid Fair Value Gap.
Momentum Scorer: Calculates the size of the displacement candle relative to the Average True Range (ATR).
🔥 Key Features
Quality Filtering: Automatically hides or dims zones that score below 50 (user configurable).
State Management: Zones turn grey when mitigated and delete themselves when invalidated.
Visual Scorecard: Displays the exact numeric score on the zone for quick decision-making.
Time-Decay Logic: Keeps the chart clean by managing the lifespan of old zones.
🎨 Visualization
High Score Zones (80-100): Display as bright, semi-solid boxes indicating high probability.
Medium Score Zones (50-79): Display as translucent “glass” boxes.
Low Score Zones (<50): Display as faint “ghost” boxes or are completely hidden.
Rocket Icon (🚀): Indicates high momentum displacement.
Snail Icon (🐌): Indicates low momentum displacement.
Drop Icon (💧): Indicates the zone swept liquidity.
Brick Icon (🧱): Indicates the zone is supported by an FVG.
📖 Usage Guidelines
Swing Structure Length (Default: 5): Controls the sensitivity of the pivot detection; lower numbers create more zones, higher numbers find major swing points.
ATR Length (Default: 14): Determines the lookback period for calculating relative momentum.
Minimum Quality Score (Default: 50): The threshold for which zones are considered “valid” enough to be fully visible.
Bullish/Bearish Colors: Fully customizable colors that adapt their own transparency based on the score.
Show Weak Zones (Default: False): Toggles the visibility of zones that failed the quality check.
✅ Best Use Cases
Filtering noise during high-volatility sessions by focusing only on Score 80+ zones.
Confirming trend continuation entries by looking for the Rocket (🚀) momentum icon.
Avoiding “stale” zones by ignoring any box that has turned grey (Mitigated).
⚠️ Limitations
The indicator is reactive to closed candles and cannot predict news-driven spikes.
Scoring is based on technical structure and does not account for fundamental drivers.
In extremely choppy markets, the ATR filter may produce lower scores due to lack of displacement.
💡 What Makes This Unique
It transforms subjective SMC analysis into an objective, quantifiable score.
The visual hierarchy allows traders to assess chart quality in milliseconds without reading data.
It integrates three separate SMC concepts (Liquidity, Imbalance, Structure) into a single tool.
🔬 How It Works
Step 1: The script identifies a Swing High or Low based on your length input.
Step 2: It looks backward to see if that swing swept liquidity, and looks forward to check for an FVG and displacement.
Step 3: It calculates a weighted score (30pts for Sweep, 30pts for FVG, 40pts for Momentum).
Step 4: It draws the zone with a transparency level designated by the score and appends the relevant icons.
💡 Note:
For the best results, use this indicator on the timeframe you execute trades on (e.g., 15m or 1h). Do not use it to find entries on the 1m chart if your analysis is based on the 4h chart.
Change in State of Delivery CISD [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script tracks how price “changes delivery” after failed attempts to push in one direction. It builds swing levels from pivots, watches for those levels to be wicked, and then checks if price delivers cleanly in the opposite direction. When the pattern meets the script’s tolerance rules, it marks a Change in State of Delivery (CISD). These CISD levels are drawn as origin lines and are used to spot shifts in intent, failed pushes, and continuation attempts. A CISD becomes stronger when it forms after opposing liquidity is swept within a defined lookback.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The script first defines structure using swing highs/lows. These levels act as potential liquidity points. When price wicks through a swing, the script registers a mitigation event. After this, it looks for a reversal-style candle sequence: a failed push, followed by a counter-move strong enough to pass a tolerance ratio. This ratio compares how far price expanded away from the failed attempt versus the counter-move that followed. If the ratio is high enough, this becomes a CISD. The idea is simple: liquidity interaction sets context , and the tolerance logic identifies actual intent . CISD levels and sweep markers combine these two ideas into a clean map of where delivery flipped.
🟠 FEATURES
Liquidity tracking: marks swing highs/lows and updates them until expiry
Liquidity sweep confirmation when CISD aligns with recent mitigations
Alert conditions for all key events: mitigations, CISDs, and strong CISDs
🟠 USAGE
Setup : Add the script to your chart. Use it on any timeframe where swing behavior matters. Set the Swing Period for how wide a pivot must be. Set Noise Filter to control how strict the CISD detection is. Liquidity Lookback defines how recent a wick must be to confirm a sweep.
Read the chart : Origin lines mark where the CISD began. A green line signals bullish intent; a red line signals bearish intent. ▲ and ▼ shapes show CISDs that form after liquidity is swept, these mark strong signals for potential entry. Swing dots show recent swing highs/lows. Candle colors follow the latest CISD trend.
Settings that matter : Increasing Swing Period produces fewer but stronger swings. Raising Noise Filter requires cleaner counter-moves and reduces false CISDs. Liquidity Lookback controls how strict the sweep confirmation is. Expiry Bars decides how long swing levels remain active.
Turnover (Volume * HLC/3)Let's get the elephant out of the room. Everyone knows volume is the key to validate price movement, but you can't compare two volume candles of the same stock when the price is 3 times different you need to account for that. So here it is, Turnover chart, to replace volume entirely, because why would you look at volume when you can look at turnover instead?
