NQ Lunch High Low First Sweep StrategyThis script identifies the FIRST liquidity sweep of the Lunch session high or low
after the Lunch session has ended, based on ICT / Killzone concepts.
Logic summary:
• Tracks Lunch session High and Low (New York time)
• After Lunch session closes, monitors the market on 5-minute timeframe
• Triggers ONLY on the first sweep:
– Price wicks beyond Lunch High and closes back below → SHORT signal
– Price wicks beyond Lunch Low and closes back above → LONG signal
• Generates an alert at the exact bar where entry is expected
• Designed specifically for Nasdaq (NQ) futures
• One trade per day – no overtrading
Notes:
• Intended for 5-minute charts only
• Uses New York session timing
• This script does NOT manage exits (TP/SL) – entry logic only
• Best used as a confluence tool, not a standalone system
Educational & discretionary use only.

Algorithmic Volume Rejection Zones [AVRZ]Hello traders,
I am pleased to release the Algorithmic Volume Rejection Zones (AVRZ). This is a specialized decision-support system designed to identify high-probability reversal points by synthesizing candle geometry, market structure, and statistical volume anomalies.
Trading reversals often presents a dilemma: wait for confirmation and miss the move, or enter early and get stopped out by noise. AVRZ solves this by quantifying "Institutional Absorption." It filters out weak price probes and highlights only the specific moments where significant volume has stepped in to defend a price level.
🛡️ The Concept: Attacking The Zonesl
You will often see price aggressively "attack" a support or resistance level with speed and high volume. To the untrained eye, this looks like a breakout. However, professional analysis reveals that this is often an Efficiency Event—liquidity is being absorbed by passive limit orders.
The AVRZ indicator is specifically engineered to detect this phenomenon. When price strikes a level and volume spikes (>2.0 Sigma), it signals that the auction is becoming efficient and a reversal is imminent. The script captures this "Attack" via the Climax Bypass logic, plotting a fresh zone immediately to mark where the liquidity was defended.
Moon Phases & Declinations - Chronos Capital [BETA]High-Precision Lunar Cycles: Moon Phases & Declinations (Swiss Ephemeris)
Overview
This indicator provides institutional-grade astronomical data directly on your chart. Unlike standard scripts that use basic sine-wave approximations, this tool implements the **Swiss Ephemeris algorithm**, the gold standard for high-precision celestial calculations.
By tracking the Moon’s phases and its **Maximum/Minimum Declinations**, traders can identify potential "turning points" or "energy shifts" in market volatility often associated with lunar cycles.
---
Key Features
Ultra-High Precision: Calculations are accurate to within *seconds* of time, ensuring that the visual plot aligns perfectly with astronomical reality.
Moon Phase Tracking: Distinct markers for New Moon, Full Moon, and Quarters.
Lunar Declination Peaks: Automatically identifies when the moon reaches its *Maximum North* and *Maximum South* points (Lunar Extremes).
Customizable Visuals: Toggle between background highlights, vertical lines, or plot signals to suit your trading style.
---
Technical Accuracy
This script is built using a ported version of the Swiss Ephemeris
Positional Accuracy: Within 0.1 arcseconds.
Time Accuracy: Within **~1-2 seconds** of official JPL data.
Algorithm: Integration of the *ELP2000-85* lunar theory for maximum reliability over decades of historical data.
---
### **How to Use**
1. **Reversal Zones:** Watch for the Moon’s *Max/Min Declination* points, which often coincide with local tops or bottoms in trending markets.
2. **Volatility Shifts:** Use the *New Moon* and *Full Moon* markers to anticipate periods of increased or decreased market liquidity and volume.
3. **Confluence:** Best used in combination with your existing price action or momentum indicators to add a "time-based" filter to your entries.
*Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. Lunar cycles are a study of time-based correlation, not a guaranteed financial signal.*
Position size calculatorA clean position size calculator designed specifically for leverage traders.
It calculates your position size, potential profit, and risk-to-reward ratio (R/R) based on fixed dollar risk.
Simply enter your entry price, stop-loss, take-profit, and risk in USD to receive precise results.
The position size is currently calculated using the following risk-based formula:
Position Size = Risk ($) / Stop-Loss distance.
This approach keeps risk constant regardless of leverage.
All colors are fully customizable to seamlessly fit your chart theme.

HPDR Bands with projectionHPDR: Historical Price Delta Range
What is it? The HPDR indicator measures how much an asset’s price typically changes over a specific timeframe. It looks at historical price movements ("deltas") and organizes them into percentiles. These are then plotted on your chart as a median line surrounded by statistical bands.
This tool helps you understand an asset’s unique character and its typical price deviations.
Because the median is in this context a statistically relative stable value(if you add 7 values to 1000 it doesn't change much), it allows for high-probability projections of the future median.
For a clearer understanding of the indicator's logic, try setting the Range to 7 and the Offset to -7.
The 50% percentile Band signifies that in 50% of all bars, the price remained within this statistical range.
alplerThe 4H Engulf Indicator is a rule-based price action tool designed to identify high-probability trading opportunities on the 4-hour timeframe. Its core logic is built around bullish and bearish engulfing candles, which are widely accepted as strong reversal or continuation signals in technical analysis.
This indicator focuses only on confirmed engulfing patterns, meaning the signal is generated after the candle is fully closed, not while it is forming. This helps eliminate false signals and emotional, premature entries. When a bullish engulfing candle appears, the indicator marks a bullish signal, suggesting potential upward momentum. Conversely, when a bearish engulfing candle forms, a bearish signal is displayed, indicating possible downward pressure.
One of the key strengths of the 4H Engulf Indicator is its clarity and simplicity. Signals are shown directly on the chart using visually clear arrows and labels, allowing the trader to quickly assess market direction without clutter. The indicator does not predict the market; instead, it reacts to confirmed price behavior, which aligns well with disciplined and systematic trading.
The 4-hour timeframe provides a balance between noise reduction and timely opportunities, making this indicator suitable for swing traders and position traders. When combined with trend filters, risk management rules, or higher-timeframe analysis, the 4H Engulf Indicator becomes a powerful component of a professional trading system.
Pivot point moving averagesPivot Point Moving Averages builds moving averages from confirmed pivots, not from every bar.
Instead of averaging all highs and lows, this script:
Detects swing pivot highs and pivot lows using a configurable Pivot length (pivotLen).
Converts these sparse pivot prices into continuous series of:
last confirmed pivot low
last confirmed pivot high
Applies a user-selectable moving average (SMA / EMA / RMA / WMA / VWMA) to each of those pivot series.
Plots the two resulting lines and shades the area between them as a pivot value cloud.
Because the lines only move when a new pivot is confirmed, they represent structural acceptance rather than raw volatility. Short “noise” moves and stop hunts between pivots have much less impact on these averages.
You can also enable an optional second pivot MA cloud:
Uses the same Pivot length for structural detection.
Has its own MA length and type.
Can run on a different timeframe (e.g. D, 240, W).
Is projected back onto the current chart so you see local pivot value and higher-timeframe pivot value together.
Why it’s useful
Traditional MAs:
React to every bar.
Move on noise, wicks, and stop runs.
Don’t distinguish between “meaningful” structure and random fluctuation.
This tool uses confirmed pivots, so it is better suited to market structure and phase analysis:
Pivot MA low reflects how demand is stepping up (or down) as new swing lows form.
Pivot MA high reflects how supply is pressing down (or easing) as new swing highs form.
The cloud between them acts as a dynamic, structure-based value area.
Typical interpretations:
Price inside the pivot cloud → balance / fair value area.
Price above the pivot cloud → bullish value expansion.
Price below the pivot cloud → bearish value expansion.
Cloud compressing → possible energy build-up, transition between phases.
Cloud expanding → stronger directional conviction.
With the second cloud enabled on a higher timeframe, you can:
See whether lower-timeframe structure is building with or against the higher-timeframe pivot value.
Use the HTF cloud as a background bias and the LTF cloud for timing and fine-grained context.
Notes
All pivot-based tools have inherent delay: a pivot is only confirmed after pivotLen bars to the right.
On very low timeframes, long pivotLen + long MA lengths will make the lines slower to react.
This is intended as a context and structure tool, not a standalone entry signal.

TuxAlgo Plus a SMC and Trap Toolkit V0.98r1 by McTogaThe “TuxAlgo Plus” script is a powerful, standalone, conceptual open-source project and self-sufficient “smart money toolkit” with automatic trap detection (SMT), liquidity grabs, FVG confluence, and complete bot setup signals for TV charts in the “H1 to H6” time frame and daily charts.
The script is used to improve SMC/trap analyses, i.e., the structure and visualization logic for TradingView charts have been expanded in the “TuxAlgo++” project in line with Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Smart Money Traps (SMT).
The SMT block (“Smart Money Traps”) supplements classic smart money concepts with:
1. Detection of bull traps (short setups) and bear traps (long setups)
2. Display of trap boxes in the chart (liquidity grab areas)
3. A bot setup box (table) with ready-made entry/SL/TP levels:
as well as age in bars & days and “Valid until ~X d” (remaining term)
SMT / bot setup only run on the following timeframes:
- H1, H2, H3, H4, H6 This means that traps, labels, and the bot setup box are only displayed on these timeframes
Trap definition “Bull Trap (Short Setup)”:
- Valid swing high
- Swing trend bullish
- High (Wick) pierces above the swing high (Liquidity Grab)
- Close falls back below the swing high (false breakout)
-> Result: Short setup (bull trap), marked in orange
Trap definition “Bear Trap (long setup)”:
- Valid swing low
- Swing trend bearish
- Low (wick) pierces below the swing low (liquidity grab)
- Close rises above the swing low again (false breakout)
-> Result: Long setup (bear trap), marked in blue
Entry / SL / TP calculation
A price range is taken for each trap:
Bull trap (short):
- Range =
- Entry = point within this range:
Entry = hiBT - (hiBT - loBT) * TrapEntryRatio (0..1)
-> 0.0 = at the Wick extreme, 0.5 = middle, 1.0 = at the Swing level
- SL = Wick extreme (upper edge of the trap)
- Risk = |Entry - SL|
- TP1 = Entry - R1 * Risk
- TP2 = Entry - R2 * Risk
Bear Trap (Long):
- Range =
- Entry analogous within the range according to TrapEntryRatio
- SL = wick bottom (lower edge of the trap)
- Risk = |Entry - SL|
- TP1 = Entry + R1 * Risk
- TP2 = Entry + R2 * Risk
R1 / R2 correspond to the inputs:
- botRR1Input = TP1 Risk/Reward (e.g., 1.5R)
- botRR2Input = TP2 Risk/Reward (e.g., 3.0R)
Age & Validity
Each trap stores:
- lastTrapBarIndex -> last bar of the trap
- Age in bars -> bar_index - lastTrapBarIndex
- Age in days (~d) -> AgeBars * BarDurationInDays (depending on TF)
Input: trapMaxAgeBars determines how long a trap is valid.
The bot setup box is only displayed if:
- a trap is present,
- AgeBars <= trapMaxAgeBars,
- SMT + Box + SMC timeframe are active.
Color logic (color blind friendly):
- Blue (accentBlue) = fresh traps (Age <= 1/3 MaxAge)
- Orange (accentOrange) = medium age
- Violet (accentPurple) = old, but still within MaxAge
- Gray (accentGray) = expired (> MaxAge)
The box also shows “Valid until ~X d” as the remaining term.
Day/Night Mode & Colors
- chart.bg_color is used to detect dark or light mode.
- Text/background colors adjust (light/dark).
- Accent colors (blue/orange/purple/gray) are suitable for red/green color blindness.
- Trap labels in the chart:
- Bull trap label = orange (short setup)
- Bear trap label = blue (long setup)
- Text color depends on chart mode (dark/light)
Typical workflow (example):
1. Select a suitable symbol & SMC timeframe (e.g., H4 or H6).
2. Wait for a bull trap (short) or bear trap (long).
3. Read in the bot setup box:
- Direction (long/short)
- Entry, SL, TP1, TP2
- Age & “Valid until ~X d”
4. These values can be used as a template for manual trading or external bot/order systems.
5. Position size & leverage must always be calculated separately in your own risk management
(e.g., 2% rule). This script does not calculate position sizes.

## What This Indicator Does
The **Unmitigated MTF High Low v2.0** tracks unmitigated (untouch) high and low levels across multiple timeframes, helping you identify key support and resistance zones that the market hasn't revisited yet. Think of it as a sophisticated memory system for price action - it remembers where price has been, and more importantly, where it *hasn't been back to*.
### Why "Unmitigated" Matters
In futures trading, especially on instruments like NQ and ES, the market has a tendency to revisit levels where liquidity was left behind. An "unmitigated" level is one that hasn't been touched since it was formed. These levels often act as magnets for price, and understanding their age and proximity gives you a significant edge in:
- **Entry timing** - Waiting for price to approach tested levels
- **Exit planning** - Taking profits before ancient resistance/support
- **Risk management** - Avoiding entries when approaching multiple old levels
- **Liquidity mapping** - Visualizing where orders likely cluster
---
## Core Concepts
### 1. **Sessions & Age**
The indicator uses **New York trading sessions** (6:00 PM to 5:59 PM NY time) as the primary time measurement. This aligns with how futures markets naturally segment their activity.
**Age Categories:**
- 🟢 **New (0-1 sessions)** - Fresh levels, recently formed
- 🟡 **Medium (2-3 sessions)** - Tested by time, gaining significance
- 🔴 **Old (4-6 sessions)** - Highly significant, survived multiple days
- 🟣 **Ancient (7+ sessions)** - Extreme significance, major support/resistance
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more significant it becomes. Think of it like compound interest - time adds weight to these zones.
### 2. **Multi-Timeframe Tracking**
You can set the indicator to track high/low levels from any timeframe (default is 15 minutes). This means you're watching for unmitigated 15-minute highs and lows while trading on, say, a 1-minute or 5-minute chart.
**Why this matters:**
- Higher timeframe levels have more weight
- You can see multiple timeframe structure simultaneously
- Helps you avoid fighting larger timeframe momentum
### 3. **Mitigation**
A level becomes "mitigated" (deactivated) when price touches it:
- **High levels** are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them
- **Low levels** are mitigated when price reaches or goes below them
Once mitigated, the level disappears from view. The indicator only shows you the untouch levels that still matter.

## The Cave Diving Framework
This indicator is designed around the **Cave Diving Trading Framework** - a psychological and technical approach that maps cave diving safety protocols to futures trading risk management.
### 🤿 The Core Metaphor
**Cave diving has clear danger zones based on depth and overhead environment. Your trading should too.**
#### Shallow Water (New Levels, 0-1 Sessions)
- **Light**: Bright colors (bright red highs, bright green lows)
- **Psychology**: Fresh territory, recently tested
- **Trading**: Be aware but not overly concerned
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: You can see the surface, easy exit
#### Penetration Depth (Medium Levels, 2-3 Sessions)
- **Light**: Medium intensity colors
- **Psychology**: Building significance, market memory forming
- **Trading**: Start respecting these levels for entries/exits
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Deeper in, need to track your line back
#### Deep Dive Zone (Old Levels, 4-6 Sessions)
- **Light**: Dark colors (deep maroon, dark blue)
- **Psychology**: Highly tested support/resistance
- **Trading**: Major decision points, plan accordingly
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Significant overhead, careful navigation required
#### Overhead Environment (Ancient Levels, 7+ Sessions)
- **Light**: Very dark, purple/deep teal
- **Psychology**: Extreme caution required, major liquidity zones
- **Trading**: These are your "turn back" signals - don't fight ancient levels
- **Cave Diving Parallel**: Maximum danger, no room for error
### 🎯 The Proximity Alert System
Just like a cave diver's depth gauge that warns at critical thresholds, the proximity alerts (⚠️) tell you when you're entering a danger zone. When price gets within your configured threshold (default 5 points), the indicator:
- Highlights the level in **yellow** on the chart
- Shows **⚠️** in the table
- Signals: "You're entering a high-significance zone - adjust your position accordingly"
This prevents the trading equivalent of going deeper into a cave without checking your air supply.
---
## How to Use It for Trading
### 🎯 Entry Strategies
**1. The "Bounce Setup" (Mean Reversion)**
- Wait for price to approach an old or ancient unmitigated level
- Look for confluence: multiple levels nearby, bands narrowing
- Enter when price shows rejection (reversal candle patterns)
- **Example**: Price drops to a 6-session-old low, shows bullish engulfing → Long entry
**2. The "Break and Retest" (Trend Following)**
- Wait for price to break through an unmitigated level (mitigates it)
- Enter on the retest of the newly broken level
- **Example**: Price breaks above 4-session-old high → Wait for pullback to that level → Long entry
**3. The "Tunnel Trade" (Range Trading)**
- When bands are active, trade the range between 1st-2nd levels
- Short near upper band resistance, long near lower band support
- Exit at opposite side or when bands break
### 🚨 Risk Management Rules
**The Ancient Level Rule**
> Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions). If you're long and approaching an ancient high, take profits. If you're short and approaching an ancient low, take profits.
These levels have survived a full trading week without being touched - there's likely significant liquidity and institutional interest there.
**The Proximity Exit Rule**
> When you see ⚠️ proximity alerts on multiple levels above/below your position, tighten stops or scale out.
This is your "overhead environment" warning. You're in dangerous territory.
**The New Level Filter**
> Be cautious taking positions based solely on new levels (0-1 sessions). Wait for them to age or combine with other confluence.
Fresh levels haven't been tested by time. They're like unconfirmed support/resistance.
### 📊 Reading Market Structure
**Bullish Structure (🟢 in status row)**
- Unmitigated lows are aging and holding
- Price respecting the lower band
- Old lows below acting as strong support
- **Bias**: Look for long entries at lower levels
**Bearish Structure (🔴 in status row)**
- Unmitigated highs are aging and holding
- Price respecting the upper band
- Old highs above acting as strong resistance
- **Bias**: Look for short entries at higher levels
**The Tunnel Compression**
- When the Δ (delta) in the status row is small, levels are tight
- This often precedes a breakout
- **Trading**: Wait for breakout direction, then trade the break
### 🔄 Strat Integration
The indicator shows Strat patterns in the status row:
- **1** - Inside bar (consolidation)
- **2U** - Broke high only (bullish)
- **2D** - Broke low only (bearish)
- **3** - Broke both (wide range, volatility)
Use these with the unmitigated levels:
- **2U near old high** → Potential resistance, watch for rejection
- **2D near old low** → Potential support, watch for bounce
- **3 pattern** → High volatility, respect wider stops

## Best Practices
### 🎯 Position Management
**1. Scaling In Near Old Levels**
```
Price approaching 5-session-old low:
- First position: 30% size at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Second position: 40% size at exact level
- Third position: 30% size if it shows strong rejection
```
**2. Scaling Out Near Ancient Levels**
```
Holding long position, approaching 8-session-old high:
- Exit 50% at proximity alert (⚠️)
- Exit 30% at exact level
- Trail stop on remaining 20%
```
### 🧠 Trading Psychology Integration
Drawing from principles in *The Mountain Is You*, this indicator helps you:
**1. Recognize Self-Sabotage Patterns**
- **The Premature Entry**: Entering before price reaches your planned level
- **Solution**: Set alerts at unmitigated levels, wait for proximity warnings
- **The Profit-Taking Problem**: Exiting too early from fear
- **Solution**: Identify the next unmitigated level and commit to holding until proximity alert
- **The Loss Holding**: Refusing to exit losing trades
- **Solution**: When price breaks through and mitigates your entry level, it's telling you the structure changed
**2. Building Better Habits**
The color-coded age system trains your brain to:
- Respect levels that have proven themselves over time
- Distinguish between noise (new levels) and structure (old levels)
- Make decisions based on objective data, not fear or greed
**3. Emotional Regulation**
The proximity alerts serve as:
- **Circuit breakers** - Forcing you to re-evaluate before dangerous zones
- **Permission to act** - Giving you objective signals to exit without second-guessing
- **Validation** - Confirming when you're in alignment with market structure
### 📝 Pre-Market Routine
**Daily Setup Checklist:**
1. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated highs above current price
2. ✅ Identify the 3 nearest unmitigated lows below current price
3. ✅ Note which are ancient (7+) - these are your "no-go" zones
4. ✅ Check the tunnel width (Δ in status row) - tight or wide?
5. ✅ Set alerts at the 1st high and 1st low for proximity warnings
6. ✅ Plan: "If we go up, I exit at ___. If we go down, I enter at ___."
### 🔄 Timeframe Confluence
**Multi-Timeframe Strategy:**
Run the indicator on **three instances**:
- **15-minute** (short-term structure)
- **1-hour** (intermediate structure)
- **4-hour** (major structure)
**Strong Setup**: When all three timeframes show unmitigated levels converging at the same price zone.
**Example:**
- 15m: Old low at 21,400
- 1H: Ancient low at 21,398
- 4H: Ancient low at 21,395
- **Result**: 21,395-21,400 is a monster support zone
### ⚠️ What This Indicator Doesn't Do
**Not a Crystal Ball**
- It doesn't predict where price will go
- It shows you where price *hasn't been* and how long it's been avoided
- The trading decisions are still yours
**Not an Entry Signal Generator**
- It provides context and structure
- You need to combine it with your entry methodology (price action, indicators, order flow, etc.)
**Not Foolproof**
- Ancient levels get broken
- Proximity alerts can trigger early in strong trends
- The market doesn't "owe" you a reversal at any level
---
## Common Scenarios
### Scenario 1: "Level Cluster Ahead"
**Situation**: You're long at 21,400. The table shows:
- 1st High: 21,425 (2 sessions old)
- 2nd High: 21,428 (3 sessions old)
- 3rd High: 21,435 (6 sessions old)
**Interpretation**: There's a resistance cluster just 25-35 points away. The 6-session-old level is particularly significant.
**Action**:
- Set first profit target at 21,420 (before the cluster)
- Set second target at 21,426 (between 1st and 2nd)
- Trail remaining position, but be ready to exit on rejection at 21,435
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're approaching an overhead section with limited clearance. Lighten your load (reduce position) before entering.
---
### Scenario 2: "Ancient Level Approaches"
**Situation**: The market is grinding higher. You see ⚠️ appear next to a 9-session-old high at 21,500.
**Interpretation**: This level has survived over a week without being touched. Massive potential liquidity zone.
**Action**:
- If long, this is your absolute exit zone. Take profits before or at level.
- If looking to short, wait for clear rejection (price taps and reverses)
- Don't try to buy the breakout until it clearly breaks and retests
**Cave Diving Analogy**: Your dive computer is beeping - you've reached your planned turn-back depth. No matter how interesting it looks ahead, honor your plan.
---
### Scenario 3: "Mitigated Levels Create New Structure"
**Situation**: Price breaks and mitigates the 1st High. The previous 2nd High becomes the new 1st High.
**Interpretation**: The structure just shifted. What was the 2nd level is now most relevant.
**Action**:
- Watch how price reacts to the newly-mitigated level
- If it holds below (acts as resistance), bearish
- If it reclaims and holds above (acts as support), bullish
- The NEW 1st High is your next target/resistance
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've passed through a restriction - the cave layout ahead is different now. Update your mental map.
---
### Scenario 4: "Tight Tunnel, Upcoming Breakout"
**Situation**: The Δ in the status row shows 3.25 points (very tight). Bands are converging.
**Interpretation**: Price is consolidating between very close unmitigated levels. Breakout likely.
**Action**:
- Don't try to predict direction
- Set alerts above 1st High and below 1st Low
- When break occurs, trade the retest
- Expect volatility - use wider stops
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You're in a narrow passage. Movement will be sudden and directional once it starts.
---
### Scenario 5: "Imbalanced Structure"
**Situation**: The statistics row shows "📊 22↑ / 7↓"
**Interpretation**: There are many more unmitigated highs than lows. This suggests:
- Price has been declining (hitting lows, leaving highs behind)
- Potential bullish reversal zone (lots of overhead supply mitigated)
- Or continued bearish structure (resistance everywhere above)
**Action**:
- Look at the age of those 22 highs
- If mostly new (0-2 sessions): Just a recent downmove, not significant yet
- If many old/ancient: Strong overhead resistance, be cautious on longs
- Compare to price action: Is price respecting the remaining lows?
**Cave Diving Analogy**: You've swam deeper than your starting point - most of your markers are above you now. Are you planning the ascent or going deeper?
---
## Final Thoughts: The Philosophy
This indicator is built on a simple but powerful principle: **The market has memory, and that memory has weight.**
Every unmitigated level represents:
- Liquidity left behind
- Orders waiting to be filled
- Institutional interest potentially parked
- Psychological significance for participants
The longer a level remains unmitigated, the more "charged" it becomes. When price finally revisits it, something significant usually happens - either a strong reversal or a definitive break.
Your job as a trader isn't to predict which outcome will occur. Your job is to:
1. **Recognize** when you're approaching these charged zones
2. **Respect** them by adjusting position size and risk
3. **React** appropriately based on how price behaves at them
4. **Remember** that ancient levels (like ancient wisdom) deserve extra reverence
The Cave Diving Framework embedded in this indicator serves as a constant reminder: Trading, like cave diving, requires rigorous respect for environmental hazards, meticulous planning, and the discipline to turn back when your limits are reached.
**Every proximity alert is the market asking you**: *"Do you really want to go deeper?"*
Sometimes the answer is yes - when your setup, confluence, and risk management all align.
Often, the answer should be no - and that's the trader avoiding the accident that would have happened to the gambler.

### 🎯 Quick Reference Card
**Color System:**
- 🟢 Bright colors = New (0-1 sessions) = Shallow water
- 🟡 Medium colors = Medium (2-3 sessions) = Penetration depth
- 🔴 Dark colors = Old (4-6 sessions) = Deep dive zone
- 🟣 Deep dark colors = Ancient (7+ sessions) = Overhead environment
**Symbols:**
- ↑ ↑↑ ↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑ ↑↑↑↑↑ = High levels (1st through 5th)
- ↓ ↓↓ ↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓ ↓↓↓↓↓ = Low levels (1st through 5th)
- ⚠️ = Proximity alert (danger zone)
- 🟢 = Bullish structure
- 🔴 = Bearish structure
- Δ = Tunnel width (distance between 1st high and 1st low)
**Critical Rules:**
1. Never fight ancient levels (7+ sessions)
2. Respect proximity alerts (⚠️)
3. Scale out near old/ancient resistance
4. Wait for confluence when entering
5. Let mitigated levels prove their new role
---
**Remember**: The indicator gives you structure. The trading edge comes from your discipline in respecting that structure.
Trade safe, trade smart, and always know your exit before your entry. 🎯

*"You don't become your best self by denying your patterns. You become your best self by recognizing them, understanding them, and choosing differently." - Adapted from The Mountain Is You*
In trading: You don't become profitable by ignoring market structure. You become profitable by recognizing it, understanding it, and choosing your entries accordingly.
ICT Unicorn Model [Kodexius]ICT Unicorn Model is a market structure and imbalance confluence tool that automatically detects high probability “Unicorn” setups by combining three key elements into a single, clean script:
-A first, clean break of that swing level (displacement style break)
-A Fair Value Gap that overlaps a breaker candle body range
Instead of plotting every pivot or every imbalance independently, the script waits for a specific sequence: price establishes a valid swing, breaks that swing for the first time, and prints a setup only when the resulting context aligns with a valid, volatility filtered FVG and a clearly defined breaker range.
Each detected setup is drawn directly on the chart with labeled zones (Breaker and FVG) and is then actively monitored. If price violates the breaker boundary based on your chosen invalidation basis (Close or Wick), the setup is marked inactive and can optionally be removed to keep the chart clean.
This indicator is designed for traders who work with ICT style concepts such as liquidity runs, displacement, breaker blocks, and imbalance reversion, and who want a structured, rules based visualization rather than discretionary drawing.
🔹 Features
🔸 Fair Value Gap Detection With Volatility Filtering
Bullish and bearish FVGs are detected using classic three candle imbalance logic. To avoid low quality gaps during compression, the script applies an ATR based minimum size filter using the “FVG Min Size (ATR Multiplier)” input. Only gaps larger than ATR * threshold are considered valid.
🔸 First Break Validation (Clean Break Logic)
A key part of the model is identifying a “first break” of a swing level. The script checks whether the swing price has already been invalidated between the swing bar and the current bar. If it has, the swing is ignored. This helps reduce repeated signals and focuses on fresh structural breaks.
🔸 Breaker and FVG Confluence With Overlap Requirement
After a valid break occurs, the script defines a breaker range using the body of the swing candle (open and close). A setup is only created if this breaker body range overlaps the detected FVG price range. This overlap requirement is what filters many “almost” conditions and keeps signals more selective.
Bullish Unicorn:
Bearish Unicorn:
🔸 Configurable Invalidation Basis (Close or Wick)
You can choose how a setup fails:
-Close: invalidation requires a candle close beyond the breaker boundary
-Wick: invalidation occurs as soon as any wick crosses beyond the breaker boundary
This allows the tool to adapt to different trading styles, from conservative confirmation to more sensitive risk control.
🔸 Automatic Cleanup of Failed Setups
If “Delete Invalidated Setups” is enabled, the script removes the breaker box, FVG box, and label as soon as the setup is invalidated. If disabled, the zones remain visible for review while the setup is marked inactive internally.
🔸 Clear Chart Visuals
Each setup plots:
-A labeled Breaker zone box
-A labeled FVG zone box
-A directional Unicorn label (Bull or Bear) that updates position as the chart advances
Colors for bullish and bearish structures are fully configurable.
🔸 Alert Conditions
Two alert conditions are provided:
-Bullish Unicorn Setup Detected
-Bearish Unicorn Setup Detected
Alerts trigger only on the bar a new setup is created.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the main computations used internally. The goal here is to explain the model mechanics rather than reproduce every implementation detail.
1. Swing Detection (Pivot High / Pivot Low)
Swing levels are detected using a symmetric pivot definition with “Swing Length” bars on both sides:
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
When a pivot is confirmed, its price and originating bar index are stored:
-Swing High: price = pivot high, isHigh = true
-Swing Low: price = pivot low, isHigh = false
The script keeps a limited history (most recent swings) to stay efficient.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
FVGs use the classic three candle displacement imbalance:
Bullish FVG condition
bool isBullFVG = high < low
Bullish gap range is defined as:
-Top = low
-Bottom = high
Bearish FVG condition
bool isBearFVG = low > high
Bearish gap range is defined as:
-Top = low
-Bottom = high
3. ATR Based Minimum Gap Filter
ATR is computed (length 14), then the gap size is compared against a user threshold:
float atr = ta.atr(14)
bool validBullFVG = isBullFVG and (bullFvgTop - bullFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold)
bool validBearFVG = isBearFVG and (bearFvgTop - bearFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold)
This prevents very small imbalances from generating setups in low volatility conditions.
4. “First Break” Check Using Level Invalidation Scan
Before accepting a swing break, the script scans forward from the swing bar to the current bar to confirm the level has not already been breached. The scan can be based on wick or close:
-Wick mode: uses high or low
-Close mode: uses close
Conceptually:
priceToCheck = mode == "Wick" ? (checkBelow ? low : high) : close
If a prior breach is found, the swing is treated as already invalidated and is ignored for setup creation.
5. Break Of Structure Condition
Bullish break requirement
A bullish setup requires breaking a stored swing high with bullish body intent:
-close > swingHighPrice
-open < close
Bearish break requirement
A bearish setup requires breaking a stored swing low with bearish body intent:
-close < swingLowPrice
-open > close
An additional proximity filter is applied in the bearish branch to reduce weak or overly extended breaks by requiring the prior close to be reasonably near the swing level.
6. Breaker Range Construction
Once a qualifying swing is found, the breaker range is derived from the body of the swing candle (the candle at the swing bar index). The body boundaries are:
float breakerTop = math.max(bOpen, bClose)
float breakerBot = math.min(bOpen, bClose)
This models the breaker as the candle body range rather than full wick range, which typically produces more practical invalidation boundaries.
7. Overlap Test Between Breaker and FVG
A setup is only created if the breaker body overlaps the FVG zone. Conceptually the script rejects cases where one range is fully above or fully below the other:
-If there is no overlap, no setup is created
-If overlap exists, the Unicorn setup is valid
8. Active Monitoring and Invalidation
Each setup remains active until invalidated. Invalidation is evaluated every bar using your selected basis:
-Close basis: compares close to breaker boundary
-Wick basis: compares high or low to breaker boundary
Bullish invalidation
Setup fails if price crosses below breaker bottom.
Bearish invalidation
Setup fails if price crosses above breaker top.
If deletion is enabled, all drawings related to that setup are removed immediately on invalidation.
9. Drawing Updates and Object Lifecycle
Breaker and FVG boxes are extended to the right while the setup is active to keep zones visible into the near future. The Unicorn label is also repositioned as new bars print so the most recent context stays readable.

Unmitigated Cave Diving MTF High Low - BookMap Style Chart
Unmitigated Cave Diving MTF High Low - BookMap Style Chart
Introduction
This Pine Script indicator tracks unmitigated higher timeframe highs and lows with a session-aware approach, inspired by KinetiCapital's X D HL Targets.
Built for precision trading on instruments like NQ during extended trading hours (ETH), it visualizes support and resistance levels that have not yet been breached, helping traders identify key price zones for potential reversals or breakouts.
Core Features
The indicator monitors multi-timeframe levels (default 15-minute) and applies intelligent styling based on recency and survival duration:
Most Recent Levels: The 1st and 2nd most recent unmitigated highs and lows are highlighted with distinct colors and widths for quick visual identification
Session Age Tracking: Levels are categorized by how many full trading sessions (1800-1700 NQ ETH) they've survived unmitigated, with "old" levels receiving special highlighting once they exceed your defined threshold
BookMap-Style Visualization: Clean horizontal lines with optional price labels positioned above highs and below lows for minimal chart clutter
Real-Time Summary Table: Displays the four most recent levels with their prices, distance in points from current price, and session age
Mitigation Logic
Levels automatically update when price touches them - high levels are mitigated when price reaches or exceeds them, while low levels are mitigated when price touches or breaks below. Mitigated levels change to a neutral gray color and can optionally be deleted at session end to preserve chart memory.
This tool is particularly valuable for intraday traders who trade around key structural levels and need to understand which unmitigated zones represent the freshest or most significant price memory in the market.

Druckenmiller Alpha-Physics [Dual-Core]Stop trading in a vacuum. Start trading like a Macro Fund Manager.
The Druckenmiller Alpha-Physics engine is a professional-grade dashboard designed to solve the single biggest problem in trading: Context. Most traders buy a "dip" only to realize it was a crash, or sell a "rip" only to watch it fly higher.
This tool solves this by synthesizing Market Physics (Velocity & Acceleration) across two distinct timeframes (Weekly Macro & Daily Tactical) and filtering every signal through a Global Liquidity Shield.
It is engineered based on the trading philosophy of Stanley Druckenmiller: “I don’t care about the news. I care about the liquidity and the acceleration of the trend.”
How It Works (The Dual-Core Logic)
The engine runs 27 distinct sector assets through a dual-loop physics processor:
The Macro Core (Weekly): Analyzes the 18-month trend. Is the "Tide" coming in or going out?
The Tactical Core (Daily): Analyzes the 3-day price action. Is the "Wave" crashing or rising?
It then synthesizes these two data streams into a single Action Signal.
The Signals (How to Read)
The dashboard tells you exactly what to do based on the conflict between Macro and Micro:
🟢 BUY PULLBACK (The "Alpha" Trade):
Logic: Macro is RIPPING (Bullish) + Tactical is TOP/CRASH (Bearish).
Meaning: You are buying a long-term leader on a short-term discount.
🔵 STINK BID (The "Bottom" Trade):
Logic: Macro is TURNING UP + Tactical is CRASHING.
Meaning: The physics have shifted positive, but price is still dumping. Place limit orders -5% lower to catch the panic bottom.
🔴 SELL RIP (The "Trap" Trade):
Logic: Macro is TOPPING (Bearish) + Tactical is RIPPING (Bullish).
Meaning: The long-term trend is dead. Sell into this short-term rally immediately.
⚪ HOLD: All systems go. Sit on your hands and ride the trend.
The "Invisible" Liquidity Shield
The most dangerous time to buy is when the Fed is draining liquidity. This script monitors the 10-Year Treasury Yield (TNX) and VIX in real-time.
If Liquidity is OK (Navy Header): Signals are valid. Green means Go.
If Liquidity is TIGHT (Maroon Header): The entire dashboard enters "Defense Mode." Buy signals are tinted Maroon to warn you that you are fighting the Fed.
Included Universe (The "Ultimate" List)
Includes 27 institutional-grade tickers covering every corner of the market:
Growth: XLK, SMH, IGV, GRID, QTUM
Cyclical: JETS, XHB, KRE, XLI, XLF
Commodities: GDX, URA, XLE, XLB, TAN
Risk/Safety: IBIT, TLT, XLV, XLP
Note: This script uses dynamic request handling optimized for Pine Script v6. It is designed for Premium/Ultimate plans due to the high volume of data processing (54+ simultaneous streams).
Price Contraction / Expansion1. Introduction
The Price Contraction / Expansion indicator highlights areas of market compression and volatility release by analyzing candle body size and volume behavior. It provides a fast, color-coded visualization to identify potential breakout zones, accumulation phases, or exhaustion movements.
This tool helps traders recognize when price action is tightening before a volatility expansion — a common precursor to strong directional moves.
2. Key Features
Dynamic body analysis: Compares each candle’s body size with a moving average to detect contraction (small bodies) and expansion (large bodies).
Volume confirmation: Measures whether volume is unusually high or low compared to its recent average, helping filter false breaks.
Color-coded system for clarity:
Yellow: Contraction with high volume (potential accumulation or strong activity).
Blue: Contraction with normal volume or expansion with low volume (neutral/reduced participation).
Green: Expansion in bullish candle (buyer dominance).
Red: Expansion in bearish candle (seller dominance).
Customizable parameters: Adjust body and volume averaging periods and thresholds to fit different market conditions or timeframes.
3. How to Use
Identify contraction zones: Look for blue or yellow bars to locate areas of price compression — these often precede breakouts or large movements.
Wait for expansion confirmation: A shift to green or red bars with increasing volume indicates that volatility is expanding and momentum is building.
Combine with context: Use this indicator alongside trend tools, liquidity zones, or moving averages to confirm directional bias and filter noise.
Adapt thresholds: In highly volatile markets, increase the “Threshold multiplier” to reduce false contraction signals.
This indicator is most effective for traders who focus on volatility behavior, market structure, and timing potential breakout opportunities.
ODTE Layman Signals 📌 Script Name
Layman Options Signals – Structured BUY CALL / BUY PUT with SL & TP
📖 Overview
This indicator is a complete, finished intraday trading system designed to simplify options trading (including 0DTE and weekly options) by converting price action and market structure into clear, actionable signals.
The script performs all analysis in the background and displays only what the trader needs to execute consistently:
BUY CALL or BUY PUT
Predefined Stop Loss (SL)
Two Take Profit levels (TP1 and TP2)
Trade status and levels displayed in a live status box
The focus of this tool is execution discipline, not prediction.
🧠 Core Concepts Used (What Makes This Script Original)
This script combines multiple price-action concepts into a single, rule-based framework:
1️⃣ Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
The script calculates the opening range high and low using the first X minutes of the regular session.
Trades are only allowed above ORB high for CALLs and below ORB low for PUTs.
This filters low-quality trades during early chop.
2️⃣ Market Structure Confirmation
CALL trades require higher highs and higher lows
PUT trades require lower lows and lower highs
This prevents trading against structure.
3️⃣ Retest & Liquidity Sweep Validation
Breakouts are validated using:
ORB retests (price accepts above/below the range)
Liquidity sweeps (false breakouts that trap traders)
This helps reduce fake breakouts.
4️⃣ Volatility-Aware Risk Management
Stop losses are placed using market structure + ATR buffer
This avoids stops being placed at obvious levels.
5️⃣ Multi-Target Trade Management
TP1 = partial profit (risk reduction)
TP2 = runner target (trend continuation)
After TP1, stop loss can move to breakeven (optional)
6️⃣ Discipline Controls
Only one active trade at a time
Cooldown period after a stop loss
Prevents over-trading and revenge trading
📊 What the Indicator Displays
The script plots the following directly on the chart:

Global J-1 & W-1 Levels (Fixed Lines / Lignes Fixes)Description
This indicator automatically plots key price levels from the previous day (D-1) and the previous week (W-1). It is designed for Day Traders and Scalpers who need clear visual references without cluttering their chart with past history.
Unlike standard indicators that use plot() and create "step-like" lines, this script uses graphic objects (line.new) to display fixed, infinite horizontal lines, just as if you had drawn them manually.
Key Features:
D-1 Levels (Blue): Previous Day High (DR-1) and Low (DS-1).
W-1 Levels (Red): Previous Week High (WR-1) and Low (WS-1).
Clean Chart: Lines are displayed only for the current session. No historical clutter.
Readability: Dashed lines with level names and exact prices displayed on the right.
How to use it? These levels often act as institutional support and resistance. Watch for price reactions (bounces or breakouts) near these zones to confirm your trade entries.
