Gold Raider Pro [Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital]Core logic
During the London kill-zone, the script locks in the session high/low (LKZ).
After London ends, it looks for a liquidity sweep (price pokes beyond LKZ high/low) then a BOS (break of the first opposing swing) to confirm reversal.
Trades are only valid with higher-timeframe bias (D1 & H4 above/below EMA-50 in agreement).
Optional filters block weak signals: time gate (NY cutoff), ADR (skip if the day’s move is already stretched), and VWAP alignment (Midnight/Weekly/Monthly).
Output is a unified signal: BUY after low sweep + BOS in bull HTF, SELL after high sweep + BOS in bear HTF; labels + dashboard summarize state and reasons.
Best setup & usage
Chart & broker: XAUUSD on a high-liquidity feed (ICMarkets/FXPro/OANDA). Use 2m–5m for executions; confirm with 15m market structure.
Session: Set timezone to America/New_York. Default London kill-zone 02:30–04:30 NY; stop taking new signals after 11:00 NY (toggle in inputs).
HTF bias: Keep EMA length = 50 on D & H4 (default). Only toggle off bias if you’re deliberately testing counter-trend sweeps (not recommended live).
Structure/BOS: Use Swing Length = 3. Leave “Require BOS after the sweep” = ON for the cleanest signals; turn “Require close back inside LKZ” ON only if you want ultra-conservative entries.
VWAP filters: Keep Midnight VWAP = ON; add Weekly/Monthly only on trend days to avoid over-filtering range sessions.
ADR guardrail: Enable ADR filter once you go live; start with ADR Threshold = 0.9 and Lookback 14. This blocks chasing extended moves.
Execution playbook:
BUY: Wait for low sweep of LKZ → BOS up → dashboard shows BULL bias, Time/ADR OK, VWAP pass. Enter on the next pullback or at close; SL below BOS invalidation (or fixed 0.5–0.8× ADR14 of XAU).
SELL: Mirror logic after a high sweep in BEAR bias; SL above BOS invalidation.
TP: Scale at 1R, leave runner to 2–3R or to Midnight/Weekly VWAP touch; hard exit by NY lunchtime or on bias flip.
Risk: 0.25–0.5% per trade (XAU is spiky). One trade per direction per session; if ADR block triggers post-entry, manage to BE or flatten if structure weakens.
Alerts & dashboard: Turn on runtime alerts once parameters are set. Read the Last Signal / Filters row; only act when it shows your direction and “L:OK / S:OK” for your side.
Validation & tuning: Forward-test 3–4 weeks. If over-filtered, relax VWAP Weekly/Monthly first; if too chatty, enforce close-back-inside and keep NY cutoff tight.
Don’ts: Don’t trade during major news spikes, don’t counter the D1/H4 agreement, and don’t enter before BOS—sweeps without structure confirmation are bait.

MC3 Pro Ultra e10Al-Brooks style MC3/Thrust signals with smart gating: EMA, Wilder ADX/DI, Consolidation, BO+FT, Z-score, Volume, RSI div, HTF EMA, Structure, OR/Blackout, Smart Cooldown. Non-repainting.
Full Description (for the main page)
MC3 Pro Ultra — Invite-Only (Al Brooks–inspired)
A high-discipline entry tool for 3-bar micro-channels (MC3) and optional 1-bar thrusts (MC1). Signals are filtered by a layered “gate” system: EMA side/slope/distance, Wilder ADX/DI, Consolidation (Box, BB<KC, Efficiency Ratio), Breakout+Follow-Through (BO+FT), TR Z-score expansion, Volume (mild/strict), true RSI divergence, HTF EMA (side/slope/strict), Market Structure (HH/HL vs LH/LL with optional BOS), Liquidity sweep guard, Open Range gate, Blackout windows (news) and Smart Cooldown v2.
Everything is non-repainting (evaluated on bar close or using closed higher-TF values).
What it does
MC3 (3-bar micro-channel) & Thrust (MC1) entries in both directions.
Auto regime: dynamically tightens thresholds in chop and relaxes them in trend.
BO+FT confirm: bar-3 must close beyond prior H/L by X points and near the extreme; optional follow-through (no immediate pullback).
Z-Score (TR): requires statistical range expansion (any bar inside the MC3).
EMA filter: side rule (All 3 / Any 2 / Last), slope, and max ATR distance.
Wilder ADX/DI: strength/rend bias; optional DI dominance.
Consolidation filter: Box+ATR (with break confirmation), Squeeze (BB<KC), or ER (Efficiency Ratio).
Volume gate: mild (above SMA×mult) or strict (3-bar rising).
True RSI divergence: pivot-based; blocks when divergence contradicts direction.
HTF EMA (non-repainting): side/slope/strict from a higher timeframe using closed bars.
Market Structure: longs only in HH/HL, shorts only in LH/LL; optional fresh BOS.
Liquidity Sweep guard: block-against or require-with sweep.
Open Range gate: require OR breakout before entries (optional).
Blackout windows: disable signals during macro/news windows.
Smart Cooldown v2: EMA-stretch + clustering penalty to avoid over-trading.
Retest mode (visual): after a signal, watch for a pullback to prev H/L or an EMA±ATR band.
Panel & Debug: status panel (regime, ADX, HTF, CONS, Z/TR, score, gates) + debug reasons for blocked signals.
R overlay: draws entry/stop/targets and an approximate position size.
Non-repainting: uses barstate.isconfirmed and closed HTF values. Signals print on bar close.
Presets
NQ A+ (2m/5m) – fast trend bias. BO+FT & Z-score on, Volume mild, DI dominance on, HTF strict.
NQ Pullback-safe (5m) – more conservative, higher min score & BO/Z thresholds.
ES 5m – balanced default.
(You can also use Custom and tweak only 2–3 knobs at a time.)
Suggested markets/timeframes: CME index futures (NQ/ES), 2m/5m/15m. Works on FX/indices/crypto with sensible retuning.
How to read signals
Green/Red arrows mark confirmed MC3 or Thrust entries (printed after bar closes).
Label shows S=Score and THR if the thrust override triggered.
Panel (top-right) shows: Regime (TREND/CHOP), ADX (prev closed bar optional), HTF (side/slope), Consolidation mode, OR status, current Z/TR vs threshold, Score≥, and quick Gates (✓/✗) for long/short.
Debug (optional, last bar): concatenated reasons why a signal did not pass (e.g., ).
Retest mode places “RT” markers when price pulls back to the chosen retest source.
Key inputs (high-level)
Definition: MC3 (color / close-to-close / micro-channel HL / combo), optional Thrust override.
EMA: side rule, slope, max ATR distance (with soft scoring).
ADX/DI: Wilder ADX len/threshold, optional DI dominance.
Consolidation: Box+ATR (with min breaks & confirm), Squeeze (BB<KC), ER.
BO+FT: min points beyond prior H/L, close% near extreme, “no-pullback” option.
Z-Score: TR Z-score length & min threshold.
Volume: mild (SMA×mult) or strict (3-bar rising).
RSI divergence: pivot L/R, max lookback age.
HTF: timeframe/length, rule (Side only / Slope only / Strict).
Structure gate: pivot L/R, optional BOS with max age.
Sweep guard: Off / BlockAgainst / RequireWith.
Open Range: session window + “require breakout” toggle.
Blackout: one or two session windows (e.g., FOMC/CPI).
Smart Cooldown v2: base cooldown, EMA-stretch bonus, cluster penalty.
Alerts
Comes with alertconditions for Bull/Bear signals.
Optional JSON payload (direction, score, preset, regime, price, est. R, symbol, timeframe) for webhook-based managers (auto-filtering or auto-sizing).
How to set: Add alert on this indicator → choose condition “Bull MC3/Thrust” or “Bear MC3/Thrust” → Once-per-bar-close → webhook (optional).
Best practices
In trend: keep Auto regime ON; you can slightly lower min score / Z / BO.
In chop: raise min score (+1~2), use Volume strict + DI dominance, increase Z and close% thresholds, optionally require OR breakout.
Retest entries: enable “Retest mode” to get better fills (prev H/L or EMA band).
HTF Strict + Structure gate will materially improve selectivity (fewer trades, higher quality).
Avoid trading during Blackout windows (macro releases, roll).
Respect Smart Cooldown to prevent clustering and revenge trades.

DTFX Algo Zones [SamuraiJack Mod]CME_MINI:NQ1!
Credits
This indicator is a modified version of an open-source tool originally developed by Lux Algo. I literally modded their indicator to create the DTFX Algo Zones version, incorporating additional features and refinements. Special thanks to Lux Algo for their original work and for providing the open-source code that made this development possible.
Introduction
DTFX Algo Zones is a technical analysis indicator designed to automatically identify key supply and demand zones on your chart using market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It helps traders spot high-probability reversal areas and important support/resistance levels at a glance. By detecting shifts in market structure (such as Break of Structure and Change of Character) and highlighting bullish or bearish zones dynamically, this tool provides an intuitive framework for planning trades. The goal is to save traders time and improve decision-making by focusing attention on the most critical price zones where market bias may confirm or reverse.
Logic & Features
• Market Structure Shift Detection (BOS & CHoCH): The indicator continuously monitors price swings and marks significant structure shifts. A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price breaks above a previous swing high or below a swing low, indicating a continuation of the current trend. A Change of Character (ChoCH) is detected when price breaks in the opposite direction of the prior trend, often signaling an early trend reversal. These moments are visually marked on the chart, serving as anchor points for new zones. By identifying BOS and ChoCH in real-time, the DTFX Algo Zones indicator ensures you’re aware of key trend changes as they happen.
• Auto-Drawn Fibonacci Supply/Demand Zones: Upon a valid structure shift, the indicator plots a Fibonacci-based zone between the breakout point and the preceding swing high/low (the source of the move). This creates a shaded area or band of Fibonacci retracement levels (for example 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, etc.) representing a potential support zone in an uptrend or resistance zone in a downtrend. These supply/demand zones are derived from the natural retracement of the breakout move, highlighting where price is likely to pull back. Each zone is essentially an auto-generated Fibonacci retracement region tied to a market structure event, which traders can use to anticipate where the next pullback or bounce might occur.
• Dynamic Bullish and Bearish Zones: The DTFX Algo Zones indicator distinguishes bullish vs. bearish zones and updates them dynamically as new price action unfolds. Bullish zones (formed after bullish BOS/ChoCH) are typically highlighted in one color (e.g. green or blue) to indicate areas of demand/support where price may bounce upward. Bearish zones (formed after bearish BOS/ChoCH) are shown in another color (e.g. red/orange) to mark supply/resistance where price may stall or reverse downward. This color-coding and real-time updating allow traders to instantly recognize the market bias: for instance, a series of bullish zones implies an uptrend with multiple support levels on pullbacks, while consecutive bearish zones indicate a downtrend with resistance overhead. As old zones get invalidated or new ones appear, the chart remains current with the latest key levels, eliminating clutter from outdated levels.
• Flexible Customization: The indicator comes with several options to tailor the zones to your trading style. You can filter which zones to display – for example, show only the most recent N zones or limit to only bullish or only bearish zones – helping declutter the chart and focus on recent, relevant levels. There are settings to control zone extension (how far into the future the zones are drawn) and to automatically invalidate zones once they’re no longer relevant (for instance, if price fully breaks through a zone or a new structure shift occurs that supersedes it). Additionally, the Fibonacci retracement levels within each zone are customizable: you can choose which retracement percentages to plot, adjust their colors or line styles, and decide whether to fill the zone area for visibility. This flexibility ensures the DTFX Algo Zones can be tuned for different markets and strategies, whether you want a clean minimalist look or detailed zones with multiple internal levels.
Best Use Cases
DTFX Algo Zones is a versatile indicator that can enhance various trading strategies. Some of its best use cases include:
• Identifying High-Probability Reversal Zones: Each zone marks an area where price has a higher likelihood of stalling or reversing because it reflects a significant prior swing and Fibonacci retracement. Traders can watch these zones for entry opportunities when the market approaches them, as they often coincide with order block or strong supply/demand areas. This is especially useful for catching trend reversals or pullbacks at points where risk is lower and potential reward is higher.
• Spotting Key Support and Resistance: The automatically drawn zones act as dynamic support (below price) and resistance (above price) levels. Instead of manually drawing Fibonacci retracements or support/resistance lines, you get an instant map of the key levels derived from recent price action. This helps in quickly identifying where the next bounce (support) or rejection (resistance) might occur. Swing traders and intraday traders alike can use these zones to set alerts or anticipate reaction areas as the market moves.
• Trend-Following Entries: In a trending market, the indicator’s zones provide ideal areas to join the trend on pullbacks. For example, in an uptrend, when a new bullish zone is drawn after a BOS, it indicates a fresh demand zone – buying near the lower end of that zone on a pullback can offer a low-risk entry to ride the next leg up. Similarly, in a downtrend, selling rallies into the highlighted supply zones can position you in the direction of the prevailing trend. The zones effectively serve as a roadmap of the trend’s structure, allowing trend traders to buy dips and sell rallies with greater confidence.
• Mean-Reversion and Range Trading: Even in choppy or range-bound markets, DTFX Algo Zones can help find mean-reversion trades. If price is oscillating sideways, the zones at extremes of the range might mark where momentum is shifting (ChoCH) and price could swing back toward the mean. A trader might fade an extended move when it reaches a strong zone, anticipating a reversion. Additionally, if multiple zones cluster in an area across time (creating a zone overlap), it often signifies a particularly robust support/resistance level ideal for range trading strategies.
In all these use cases, the indicator’s ability to filter out noise and highlight structurally important levels means traders can focus on higher-probability setups and make more informed trading decisions.
Strategy – Pullback Trading with DTFX Algo Zones
One of the most effective ways to use the DTFX Algo Zones indicator is trading pullbacks in the direction of the trend. Below is a step-by-step strategy to capitalize on pullbacks using the zones, combining the indicator’s signals with sound price action analysis and risk management:
1. Identify a Market Structure Shift and Trend Bias: First, observe the chart for a recent BOS or ChoCH signal from the indicator. This will tell you the current trend bias. For instance, a bullish BOS/ChoCH means the market momentum has shifted upward (bullish bias), and a new demand zone will be drawn. A bearish structure break indicates downward momentum and creates a supply zone. Make sure the broader context supports the bias (e.g., if multiple higher timeframe zones are bullish, focus on long trades).
2. Wait for the Pullback into the Zone: Once a new zone appears, don’t chase the price immediately. Instead, wait for price to retrace back into that highlighted zone. Patience is key – let the market come to you. For a bullish setup, allow price to dip into the Fibonacci retracement zone (demand area); for a bearish setup, watch for a rally into the supply zone. Often, the middle of the zone (around the 50% retracement level) can be an optimal area where price might slow down and pivot, but it’s wise to observe price behavior across the entire zone.
3. Confirm the Entry with Price Action & Confluence: As price tests the zone, look for confirmation signals before entering the trade. This can include bullish reversal candlestick patterns (for longs) or bearish patterns (for shorts) such as engulfing candles, hammers/shooting stars, or doji indicating indecision turning to reversal. Additionally, incorporate confluence factors to strengthen the setup: for example, check if the zone overlaps with a key moving average, a round number price level, or an old support/resistance line from a higher timeframe. You might also use an oscillator (like RSI or Stochastic) to see if the pullback has reached oversold conditions in a bullish zone (or overbought in a bearish zone), suggesting a bounce is likely. The more factors aligning at the zone, the more confidence you can have in the trade. Only proceed with an entry once you see clear evidence of buyers defending a demand zone or sellers defending a supply zone.
4. Enter the Trade and Manage Risk: When you’re satisfied with the confirmation (e.g., price starts to react positively off a demand zone or shows rejection wicks in a supply zone), execute your entry in the direction of the original trend. Immediately set a stop-loss order to control risk: for a long trade, a common placement is just below the demand zone (a few ticks/pips under the swing low that formed the zone); for a short trade, place the stop just above the supply zone’s high. This way, if the zone fails and price continues beyond it, your loss is limited. Position size the trade so that this stop-loss distance corresponds to a risk you are comfortable with (for example, 1-2% of your trading capital).
5. Take Profit Strategically: Plan your take-profit targets in advance. A conservative approach is to target the origin of the move – for instance, in a long trade, you might take profit as price moves back up to the swing high (the 0% Fibonacci level of the zone) or the next significant zone or resistance level above. This often yields at least a 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio if you entered around mid-zone. More aggressive trend-following traders may leave a portion of the position running beyond the initial target, aiming for a larger move in line with the trend (for example, new higher highs in an uptrend). You can also trail your stop-loss upward behind new higher lows (for longs) or lower highs (for shorts) as the trend progresses, locking in profit while allowing for further gains.
6. Monitor Zone Invalidation: Even after entering, keep an eye on the behavior around the zone and any new zones that may form. If price fails to bounce and instead breaks decisively through the entire zone, respect that as an invalidation – the market may be signaling a deeper reversal or that the signal was false. In such a case, it’s better to exit early or stick to your stop-loss than to hold onto a losing position. The indicator will often mark or no longer highlight zones that have been invalidated by price, guiding you to shift focus to the next opportunity.
Risk Management Tips:
• Always use a stop-loss and don’t move it farther out in hope. Placing the stop just beyond the zone’s far end (the swing point) helps protect you if the pullback turns into a larger reversal.
• Aim for a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. With pullback entries near the middle or far end of a zone, you can often achieve a reward that equals or exceeds your risk. For example, risking 20 pips to make 20+ pips (1:1 or better) is a prudent starting point. Adjust targets based on market structure – if the next resistance is 50 pips away, consider that upside against your risk.
• Use confluence and context: Don’t take every zone signal in isolation. The highest probability trades come when the DTFX Algo Zone aligns with other analysis (trend direction, chart patterns, higher timeframe support/resistance, etc.). This filtered approach will reduce trades taken in weak zones or counter-trend traps.
• Embrace patience and selectivity: Not all zones are equal. It can be wise to skip very narrow or insignificant zones and wait for those that form after a strong BOS/ChoCH (indicating a powerful move). Larger zones or zones formed during high-volume times tend to produce more reliable pullback opportunities.
• Review and adapt: After each trade, note how price behaved around the zone. If you notice certain Fib levels (like 50% or 61.8%) within the zone consistently provide the best entries, you can refine your approach to focus on those. Similarly, adjust the indicator’s settings if needed – for example, if too many minor zones are cluttering your screen, limit to the last few or increase the structure length parameter to capture only more significant swings.
⸻
By combining the DTFX Algo Zones indicator with disciplined confirmation and risk management, traders can improve their timing on pullback entries and avoid chasing moves. This indicator shines in helping you trade what you see, not what you feel – the clearly marked zones and structure shifts keep you grounded in price action reality. Whether you’re a trend trader looking to buy the dip/sell the rally, or a reversal trader hunting for exhaustion points, DTFX Algo Zones provides a robust visual aid to elevate your trading decisions. Use it as a complementary tool in your analysis to stay on the right side of the market’s structure and enhance your trading performance.
Dabel MS + FVGThis script is designed to assist traders by identifying market structures, imbalances, and potential trade opportunities using Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shifts (MSS). It visually highlights imbalances in price action, key pivots, and market structure changes, providing actionable information for making trading decisions.
Key features:
Imbalances Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish price gaps (Fair Value Gaps) using colored boxes. Users can choose the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) for imbalance midlines.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks pivot highs and lows to identify BOS and MSS in two separate market structures with adjustable pivot strengths.
Customizable Visualization: Allows users to choose line styles, colors, and display options for both imbalances and market structures.
Alerts: Alerts traders when BOS or MSS occur, helping to monitor the market effectively.
Trading Strategy
Imbalance Trading:
Imbalances (gaps) represent areas where supply or demand was left unfilled. These gaps often act as magnet zones where the price revisits to fill.
Bullish Imbalance: Look for buying opportunities when price enters a green imbalance zone.
Bearish Imbalance: Look for selling opportunities when price enters a red imbalance zone.
Use the midline of the imbalance box as a key reference point for potential reversals.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS):
BOS: Indicates a continuation of the existing trend. For example:
Bullish BOS: Look for continuation in the uptrend after a high is broken.
Bearish BOS: Look for continuation in the downtrend after a low is broken.
MSS: Suggests a potential reversal in market structure. For example:
Bullish MSS: Indicates a possible shift from a bearish to bullish market.
Bearish MSS: Indicates a potential shift from a bullish to bearish market.
Multiple Market Structures:
This script provide two sets of market structures, allowing traders to compare short-term and long-term trends.
Adjust the pivot strength to suit your trading style (lower for intraday trading, higher for swing or positional trading).
Entry and Exit:
Entry: Look for entries near imbalances or after confirmed BOS/MSS in line with the overall trend.
Exit: Place stop-loss below/above recent pivots and take profit at nearby support/resistance or imbalance zones.
For New Traders
Focus on Basics: Understand what BOS and MSS mean and how they signal trend direction or reversals.
Use Alerts: Rely on the script's alert system to catch important moments without staring at charts all day.
Start Small: Test this strategy on a demo account before using it live. You can understand it more with practice.
Market Structure Trailing Stop [BigBeluga]The Market Structure Trailing Stop indicator is an advanced tool for identifying market structure shifts, liquidity sweeps, and potential trend reversals using comprehensive volume analysis. This indicator combines the analysis of market structure pivots (CHoCH - Change of Character) with a sophisticated volume-based trailing stop logic. By evaluating delta volume at key structural points, it allows traders to identify high-probability trend continuations or reversals and manage their trades more effectively.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
● Market Structure Analysis
Pivot-Based Market Structure : The indicator identifies high and lows using user-defined periods, allowing traders to spot key market structure shifts.
Change of Character (CHoCH) : The first significant break of a market structure is marked as a CHoCH, indicating a potential trend reversal.
Break of Structure (BoS) : The indicator highlights subsequent breaks of structure after CHoCH, providing traders with crucial insights into trend strength.
● Advanced Volume Analysis
Delta Volume Evaluation : The indicator calculates delta volume (difference between up and down volume) at each ChoCh or BoS market structure point to assess the strength of the move. Identify Delta Volume from break point back to Pivot
● Trailing Stop Logic
Volume-Validated Trailing Stop : The indicator automatically plots a trailing stop if the delta volume at the UP CHoCH is positive and above the defined threshold and vice versa for Down CHoCH , allowing traders to protect their profits while riding the trend.
Trend Weakness Detection : If a subsequent BoS occurs with negative delta volume or lower volume than the input threshold, the trailing stop disappears, indicating potential trend exhaustion or reversal.
Dynamic Stop Placement : The trailing stop is dynamically adjusted based on market structure and volume, providing traders with a more adaptive stop-loss strategy.
Up Trend Trailing Stop:
Down Trend Trailing Stop:
● Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity Sweep (X) Labels : The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps—points where the price temporarily reverses to sweep liquidity above or below a key level—marked with an “X” label.
Potential Reversal Zones : These liquidity sweeps are potential reversal zones, especially when accompanied by significant delta volume changes, providing traders with early warnings of potential trend reversals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
● Identifying Market Structure Shifts
Change of Character (CHoCH) : When a CHoCH occurs, the indicator calculates the total volume from the high point to the break point. If the delta volume is positive and exceeds the input threshold, a trailing stop is plotted, signaling potential trend continuation.
Break of Structure (BoS) : If BoS is enabled, subsequent breaks of structure are highlighted. If these BoS points show weaker volume or negative delta volume, the trailing stop will disappear, indicating that the trend may be losing strength.
● Using the Trailing Stop Feature
Protecting Profits : Once a CHoCH occurs and the delta volume validates the trend, the trailing stop will be plotted below (or above) the price to protect profits while allowing the trend to run.
Trend Reversal Signals : If the trailing stop disappears due to weak volume at subsequent BoS points, it may signal that the trend is losing momentum, and traders may consider closing their positions or tightening their stops manually.
● Liquidity Sweep Interpretation
Spotting Reversal Zones : Liquidity sweeps, marked with an “X” label, indicate zones where the price has swept liquidity. These areas can serve as potential reversal zones, especially when significant delta volume is observed at these points.
Early Reversal Warnings : Traders can use these liquidity sweep labels as early warnings for potential trend reversals, particularly in conjunction with other technical analysis methods.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Highs and Lows Calculation : Customize the number of bars to the left and right for identifying pivots and market structure shifts.
Volume Threshold : Define the volume threshold to filter out weaker moves and focus on significant market structure shifts.
BoS and Liquidity Sweep Labels : Toggle on or off the BoS and Liquidity Sweep labels to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
Trend Color : Enable or disable trend coloring for candles to visually highlight uptrends and downtrends on the chart.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trailing Stop indicator combines advanced volume analysis with market structure detection to provide traders with a powerful tool for identifying and managing trends. By leveraging delta volume at key structure points, it helps traders validate trend strength and manage their positions with a dynamic trailing stop strategy. The addition of liquidity sweep detection further enhances its utility, offering early warnings of potential trend reversals. This indicator is ideal for traders who want to gain a deeper understanding of market structure while incorporating volume-based insights into their trading strategies.

**Setup:**
- ✅ Aktifkan "Equal High/Low"
- Set "Bars Confirmation" (default: 3)
- Adjust threshold (0-0.5, default: 0.1)
**Interpretasi:**
- EQH = Liquidity di atas, kemungkinan sweep lalu dump

**Interpretasi:**
- **POC (Point of Control)** = Harga dengan volume tertinggi = magnet
- **Value Area** = 70% volume = fair price range
- **Low Volume Nodes** = Weak support/resistance
- **High Volume Nodes** = Strong support/resistance
**Trading:**
- POC acts as support/resistance
- Price tends to return to POC
- Breakout dari Value Area = momentum

Liquidity & inducementsHi all!
This indicator will show liquidity and inducements.
I will continue to try to add different types of liquidity and inducements, at this moment it contains 6 kinds of liquidity/inducement, they are:
• Grabs
• Big grabs
• Sweeps
• Turtle soups
• Equal highs/lows (liquidity and inducement)
• BSL & SSL
And 1 type of inducement:
• Retracement
This description will contain indicator examples of each individual liquidity and inducement. They will all be with the default settings.
Settings
First you will find settings for the market structure (BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+). Select left and right pivot lengths and if the pivots should have a label or not.
This is the base foundation of this indicator and is possible with my library 'PriceAction' ().
You will see solid lines for break of structures (BOS), change of characters (CHoCH) and change of character plus (CHoCH+).
The pivots found will be the core of this indicator and will show you when the closing price breaks it. When that happens a break of structure (BOS) or a change of character (CHoCH or CHoCH+) will be created. The latest 5 pivots found within the current trend will be kept to take action on.
A break of structure is removed if an earlier pivot within the same trend is broken and the pivot's high price for a bullish trend or low price for a bearish trend is more extreme than the BOS pivot's price.
You are able to show the pivots that are used. "HH" (higher high), "HL" (higher low), "LH" (lower high), "LL" (lower low) and "H"/"L" (for pivots (high/low) when the trend has changed) are the labels used.
In the next section ('Liquidity ($$$)') you can select which types of liquidity you want to see. Note that 'Equal highs/lows' can also show inducement (more on that later).
In the section afterwards ('Inducement (IDM)') you can select if you want retracement inducements to be visible or not. More information on what they are later on.
The section for each individual liquidity and/or inducement can first contain a line named 'Pivot', where you can set the pivot lengths (first left, then right). Then you can set the 'Lookback', which means that the 'Lookback' number of past pivots is to take action on. After that you set the 'Timeframe' for the pivots used. That means that all available liquidity/inducements will be from your desired timeframe. Lastly you set the color of the liquidity/inducement (either a single color or bullish followed by bearish colors).
Lastly in the settings you can select the font sizes for the market structure and liquidity/inducements and what style liquidity/inducements lines will have. The sizes defaults to 7 and has a dotted line look.
Grabs
Liquidity grabs and liquidity sweeps are very similar. It all depends on if the current bar closed above/below the liquidity pivot and on if its a continuation or reversal. In a liquidity grab the bar that's above or below the liquidity pivot was not closed above or below it. Like this:
Or
The visual feedback will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and liquidity grab bar and a linefill between the high of the liquidity grab bar and the liquidity pivot.
Indicator example:
Big grabs
This is another 'grabs' option. You can show an additional grab if you want to. I suggest having this grab from a higher timeframe or with larger pivot lengths than the other grab.
The default is with the chart timeframe and 10/10 as pivot lengths.
Indicator example:
Sweeps
A liquidity sweep is like a liquidity grab but with the difference that price closes above/below and has a continuation instead of a reversal. If the liquidity pivot was at the same bar as a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ it will not be a liquidity grab but a structural break instead.
They can look like this:
Indicator example;
Turtle soups
If only one candle is beyond the pivot it could be a liquidity grab. It's a grab if price didn't close beyond the liquidity pivot, if so it's invaliditet. Turtle soups are basically false breakouts that takes liquidity (is a false breakout from a pivot with the lengths and timeframe from the settings).
The turtle soup can have a confirmation in the terms of a change of character (CHoCH). You can enable this in the settings section for 'Turtle soups' through the 'Confirmation' checkbox (enabled by default). The turtle soup strategy usually comes with some sort of confirmation, in this case a CHoCH, but it can also be a market structure shift (MSS) or a change in state of delivery (CISD).
The addition of turtle soups is possible through my script 'Turtle soup' ().
The drawing will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and the last bar of the false breakout and a box from the start of the false breakout to the end of it.
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows
Equal highs/lows will always show liquidity, but might also show inducement. Inducement will be shown on equal lows if the trend is bullish and on equal highs if it's bearish, like this:
Or
Equal highs can only be created if the second pivot is lower than the first one. Equal lows can only be created if the second pivot is higher than the first one. If that is not the case it could be a liquidity grab.
When equal highs or equal lows are find that produces inducement (equal lows in a bullish trend and equal highs in a bearish trend), the indicator will first display inducement and will show liquidity once traders are induced to enter the security. Stop loss placement, for liquidity, is 0.1 * the average true range (ATR, of length 14). They will look like this:
Only inducement:
Inducement and liquidity:
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows inducements can not be triggered after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+. They are cleared upon a structural break.
BSL & SSL
Buyside liquidity (BSL) and sellside liquidity (SSL) will be shown. A pivot that's been mitigated (touched by price) can never be BSL or SSL. The BSL/SSL available will be dynamic while price moves (work in Replay and lower timeframes that moves fast) and pick the latest pivot/s (with left and right lengths from the 'Market structure' section). You can define how many BSL/SSL you want to see with a default value of 1, meaning only 1 BSL and 1 SSL can be shown. If there is no unmitigated high (BSL) or low (SSL), no BSL/SSL will be available to show. If there are BSL/SSL available they're very useful to use as targets for entering a trade.
The will look like this when available;
And without BSL available:
Or
And without SSL available:
Note that the examples without BSL/SSL available could have liquidity available from previous price legs.
This can be an example of a BSL/SSL sequence:
First both buyside and sellside liquidity is available:
Then a new low appears and new sellside liquidity is available:
Then buyside liquidity is mitigated, so only sellside liquidity is available:
A new high pivot appears and buyside liquidity is available again:
Lastly a bearish CHoCH happens and sellside liquidity is mitigated, only buyside liquidity is available:
Retracement
The first retracement after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ is considered an inducement with the mission to get traders into a trade prematurely to get stopped out. This level is shown and look like this:
Or
A retracement inducement is removed when a new BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ appears and it's not triggered.
---------------------------
As of now there aren't any alerts available. You cannot use the Pine Screener from Tradingview either to see new liquidity/inducement events. I have this planned for future updates though.
I hope that this long description makes sense, let me know otherwise! Also let me know if you experience any bugs or have a feature request or just want to share good settings to use.
Best of trading luck!
Dynamic Market Structure (MTF) - Dow TheoryDynamic Market Structure (MTF)
OVERVIEW
This advanced indicator provides a comprehensive and fully customizable solution for analyzing market structure based on classic Dow Theory principles. It automates the identification of key structural points, including Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH).
Going beyond simple pivot detection, this tool visualizes the flow of the trend by plotting dynamic Breaks of Structure (BOS) and potential reversals with Changes of Character (CHoCH). It is designed to be a flexible and powerful tool for traders who use price action and trend analysis as a core part of their strategy.
CORE CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on the foundational principles of Dow Theory:
Uptrend: A series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows.
Downtrend: A series of Lower Lows and Lower Highs.
Break of Structure (BOS): Occurs when price action continues the current trend by creating a new HH in an uptrend or a new LL in a downtrend.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Occurs when the established trend sequence is broken, signaling a potential reversal. For example, when a Lower Low forms after a series of Higher Highs.
CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
This section explains the indicator's underlying logic:
Pivot Detection: The indicator's core logic is based on TradingView's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions. The sensitivity of this detection is fully controlled by the user via the Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right settings.
Structure Calculation (BOS/CHoCH): The script identifies market structure by analyzing the sequence of these confirmed pivots.
A bullish BOS is plotted when a new ta.pivothigh is confirmed at a price higher than the previous confirmed ta.pivothigh.
A bearish CHoCH is plotted when a new ta.pivotlow is confirmed at a price lower than the previous confirmed ta.pivotlow , breaking the established sequence of higher lows.
The logic is mirrored for bearish BOS and bullish CHoCH.
Invalidation Levels: This feature identifies the last confirmed pivot before a structure break (e.g., the last ta.pivotlow before a bullish BOS) and plots a dotted line from it to the breakout bar. This level is considered the structural invalidation point for that move.
MTF Confirmation: This unique feature provides confluence by analyzing a second, lower timeframe. When a pivot (e.g., a Higher Low) is confirmed on the main chart, the script requests pivot data from the user-selected lower timeframe. If a corresponding trend reversal is detected on that lower timeframe (e.g., a break of its own minor downtrend), the pivot is labeled "Firm" (FHL); otherwise, it is labeled "Soft" (SHL).
KEY FEATURES
This indicator is packed with advanced features designed to provide a deeper level of market insight:
Dynamic Structure Lines: BOS and CHoCH levels are plotted with clean, dashed lines that dynamically start at the old pivot and terminate precisely at the breakout bar, keeping the chart clean and precise.
Invalidation Levels: For every structure break, the indicator can plot a dotted "Invalidation" line (INV). This marks the critical support or resistance pivot that, if broken, would negate the previous move, providing a clear reference for risk management.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmation: Add a layer of confluence to your analysis by confirming pivots on a lower timeframe. The indicator can label Higher Lows and Lower Highs as either "Firm" (FHL/FLH) if confirmed by a reversal on a lower timeframe, or "Soft" (SHL/SLH) if not.
Flexible Pivot Detection: Fully adjustable Pivot Lookback settings for the left and right sides allow you to tune the indicator's sensitivity to match any timeframe or trading style, from long-term investing to short-term scalping.
Full Customization: Take complete control of the indicator's appearance. A dedicated style menu allows you to customize the colors for all bullish, bearish, and reversal elements, including the transparency of the trend-based candle coloring.
HOW TO USE
Trend Identification: Use the sequence of HH/HL and LL/LH, along with the trend-colored candles, to quickly assess the current market direction on any timeframe.
Entry Signals: A confirmed BOS can signal a potential entry in the direction of the trend. A CHoCH can signal a potential reversal, offering an opportunity to enter a new trend early.
Risk Management: Use the automatically plotted "Invalidation" (INV) lines as a logical reference point for placing stop losses. A break of this level indicates that the structure you were trading has failed.
Confluence: Use the "Firm" pivot signals from the MTF analysis to identify high-probability swing points that are supported by price action on multiple timeframes.
SETTINGS BREAKDOWN
Pivot Lookback Left/Right: Controls the sensitivity of pivot detection. Higher numbers find more significant (but fewer) pivots.
MTF Confirmation: Enable/disable the "Firm" vs. "Soft" pivot analysis and select your preferred lower timeframe for confirmation.
Style Settings: Customize all colors and the transparency of the candle coloring to match your chart's theme.
Show Invalidation Levels: Toggle the visibility of the dotted invalidation lines.
This indicator is a powerful tool for visualizing and trading with the trend. Experiment with the settings to find a configuration that best fits your personal trading strategy.

BIASBias — MTF Market Structure
What it does
Bias determines bullish/bearish bias from a higher timeframe (HTF) market structure and shows BOS/CHOCH events in a minimal, uncluttered way. When a BOS/CHOCH is confirmed, the script draws a single horizontal line at the broken swing that extends to the right and stops automatically once price invalidates it. Background shading reflects the current bias.
Why it’s different (Minimal Clean)
No boxes or noisy fills — just clean horizontal continuation lines and small optional labels.
Pivot-based structure on your chosen HTF; lines update only when swings are confirmed.
Built-in anti-clutter controls (limit number of active lines).
Optional conservative confirmation (wait for HTF close).
How Bias is determined (BOS/CHOCH logic)
On the selected HTF, the script detects swing highs/lows using Pivot Left / Right.
New swings are filtered by Min Swing Distance (%) so tiny wiggles are ignored.
A breakUp occurs when price crosses the latest HTF swing high; a breakDown when it crosses the latest swing low (by Close or Wick, per your setting).
Event classification:
BOS (Break of Structure): break in the same direction as the current bias (trend continuation).
CHOCH (Change of Character): break in the opposite direction (trend change).
After a break, bias flips/updates (Bullish after breakUp, Bearish after breakDown). A thin horizontal line is drawn from that level, extending until price invalidates it in the opposite direction.
Inputs & Settings (what to tweak)
Basis Timeframe (HTF) – the timeframe used to build structure (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D).
Pivot Left / Right – swing sensitivity (higher = cleaner, slower).
Confirm Break by Close – if ON, require close beyond the level; if OFF, wick is enough.
Wait for HTF Close – confirms only after the HTF candle closes (safer, later).
Min Swing Distance (%) – minimum percent distance vs. previous swing to accept a new swing.
Show Bias Background – soft background shading of current bias.
Show BOS/CHOCH Labels – small tags on the break candle (optional).
Max Active Level Lines – caps how many horizontal lines are kept on the chart (default 8).
Line Width – thickness of the horizontal lines.
Colors
Bull continuation lines/labels use a teal theme; Bear uses orange. You can adjust in code if desired.
How to use (quick start)
Add to any chart and keep your trading timeframe as you like (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H).
Set HTF to the structure frame you trust (e.g., 1H for intraday, 4H/D for swing).
For a cleaner map, raise Pivot Left/Right (e.g., 4–6) and Min Swing Distance (e.g., 0.5–1%).
Choose break confirmation:
Want early signals? leave Confirm by Close ON and Wait for HTF Close OFF.
Want stronger signals? turn Wait for HTF Close ON.
Read the chart:
Background = current Bias (Bullish or Bearish).
Each BOS/CHOCH prints a short label and a horizontal line that extends to the right until price invalidates it.
Use the lines as clean reference for structure and for where bias last changed/continued.
Reduce clutter by lowering Max Active Level Lines (e.g., 5–8) or turning labels off.
Multi-HTF tip: Add two instances — e.g., HTF=4H for strategic bias and HTF=1H for tactical entries. Keep labels ON only on the tactical one for simplicity.
Alerts
The script provides ready-made alert conditions (constant strings per Pine v6 rules):
BOS Bullish
BOS Bearish
CHOCH Bullish
CHOCH Bearish
Bias Flip → Bullish
Bias Flip → Bearish
Create an alert on the indicator and choose the condition you want.
Notes & Limitations
Swings use pivots; a pivot only finalizes after pR bars, so signals don’t repaint forward once the HTF pivot is confirmed.
If Wait for HTF Close is OFF, intrabar spikes can trigger earlier (faster but less strict).
As with any tool, this is not financial advice and should be combined with your own risk management.
Recommended presets
Intraday: HTF = 1H, pL/pR = 4/4, Min Swing % = 0.6–1.0, Confirm by Close = ON, Wait HTF Close = OFF, Max Lines = 6–8.
Swing: HTF = 4H or 1D, pL/pR = 5–6, Min Swing % = 1.0–2.0, Confirm by Close = ON, Wait HTF Close = ON, Max Lines = 5.
MarketStructureLibMarketStructure Library
This library extends the "MarketStructure" library by mickes () under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, credited to mickes. It provides functions for detecting and visualizing market structure, including Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL), and liquidity zones, with enhancements for improved accuracy and customization.
Functionality
Market Structure Detection: Identifies internal (orderflow) and swing market structures using pivot points, with support for BOS, CHoCH, and EQH/EQL.
Volatility Filter: Only confirms pivots when the ATR exceeds a user-defined threshold, reducing false signals in low-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Metric: Calculates a trend strength score based on pivot frequency and volatility, stored in the Structure type for use in scripts.
Customizable Visualizations: Allows users to configure line styles and colors for BOS and CHoCH, and label sizes for pivots, BOS, CHoCH, and liquidity.
Liquidity Zones: Visualizes liquidity levels with confirmation bars and lookback periods.
Methodology
Pivot Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a volatility filter (ATR multiplier) to confirm significant pivots.
Trend Strength: Computes a score as pivotCount / LeftLength * (currentATR / ATR), reflecting trend reliability based on pivot frequency and market volatility.
BOS/CHoCH Logic: Detects BOS when price breaks a pivot in the trend direction, and CHoCH when price reverses against the trend, with labels for "MSF" or "MSF+" based on pivot patterns.
EQH/EQL Zones: Creates boxes around equal highs/lows within an ATR-based threshold, with optional extension.
Visualization: Draws lines and labels for BOS, CHoCH, and liquidity, with user-defined styles, colors, and sizes.
Usage
Integration: Import into Pine Script indicators (e.g., import Fenomentn/MarketStructure/1) to analyze market structure.
Configuration: Set pivot lengths, volatility threshold, label sizes, and visualization styles via script inputs.
Alerts: Enable alerts for BOS, CHoCH, and EQH/EQL events, triggered on bar close to avoid repainting.
Best Practices: Use on forex or crypto charts (1m to 12h timeframes) for optimal results. Adjust the volatility threshold for different market conditions.
Originality
This library builds on mickes’ framework by adding:
A volatility-based pivot filter to enhance signal accuracy.
A trend strength metric for assessing trend reliability.
Dynamic label sizing and customizable visualization styles for better usability. No additional open-source code was reused beyond mickes’ library, credited under MPL 2.0.

The “FVG Suite” identifies fair value gaps across multiple time units, evaluates them with a displacement score, optionally filters them according to market structure events (BOS/CHOCH), and provides context-based alerts for first touch, partial and full fills, and invalidation. The aim is to show only high-quality imbalances and trade them based on rules.
What makes the script unique (originality/added value)
Displacement score: Strength of the impulse movement as a combination of (body/ATR, range/ATR, volume Z-score).
MTF aggregator: FVGs from higher timeframes are collected, ranked, and displayed as zones on the active chart (including overlap clustering).
Structure context: Optionally, only FVGs after confirmed BOS/CHOCH in the trend direction, including premium/discount evaluation relative to the HTF range.
Adaptive invalidation: FVG expires after candles, opposing BOS or defined time (e.g., end of session).
Session/instrument filter: Time window (e.g., NY/LDN), minimum tick size, ATR-based minimum gap.
Smart fill logic: Distinguishes between first touch, partial fill (≥ %), full fill (100%); alarms per event.
Statistics overlay (optional): Hit rate/expectancy per TF & session for fine-tuning the filters.
How it works (conceptually)
FVG definition (3-candle pattern): Bullish if High < Low (bearish analog). Size = gap span in points.
Quality score:Score = w1*(|Body|/ATR) + w2*(Range/ATR) + w3*(Volume-Z), normalized to 0–100.
MTF scan: List of higher TFs: (customizable). Findings are merged, ranked, and displayed as zones with priority (color/opacity).
Context filter: Only FVGs that emerge after BOS/CHOCH in the direction of the current trend; optional exclusion in premium/discount areas.
Invalidation & alerts: A zone is considered active until the invalidation rule takes effect. Alerts are triggered upon: initial contact, partial/full filling, invalidation.
Important inputs
Min. FVG size: × ATRor ticks/points
Min. displacement score: (0–100)
MTF list:
BOS/CHOCH filter: On/Off (Lookback candles)
Session filter: NY/LDN/Asia (local time, weekend toggle)
Invalidation: maxBars = , Opposite BOS = On/Off, Session End = On/Off
Fill definitions: Partial fill ≥ % of the gap; Full fill = 100%
Overlay options: Zone color/transparency, HTF label, statistics overlay On/Off
Alerts (names & triggers)
FVG Suite – First Touch: Price touches an active FVG zone for the first time.
FVG Suite – Partial Fill: Partial fill ≥ configured threshold.
FVG Suite – Full Fill: Gap completely filled.
FVG Suite – Invalidated: Zone invalidated by rules. (Alert message contains: symbol, TF of the zone, direction, score, size, trigger rule.)
Use (best practices)
Trade in the trend direction with BOS/CHOCH filter; target counter-imbalances/liquidity pools.
Use session filters to avoid news spikes/illiquid periods.
Calibrate parameters for each market/TF (ATR/volume profiles differ).
Limitations
Structure labels can be reevaluated for new highs/lows (repainting of labels, not of FVG finds).
Spreads/news can generate “pseudo fills.”
Backtests/statistics are sample-dependent; no guarantee of results.
Changelog
v1.0 – First release (score model, MTF aggregator, BOS/CHOCH filter, fill alerts).
Credits
FVG concept: public ICT/SMC literature (general idea). Implementation/scoring, MTF ranking, smart fill logic: own development.
Note/disclaimer
No financial advice. For educational purposes only. Trading involves high risk; use stop losses and a fixed risk budget.

Smart Money Template📈 Smart Money Concepts – BOS / CHoCH / Order Blocks / OTE / FVG
Version: 1.0
Framework: Pine Script v5
Category: Smart Money / Price Action / Institutional Concepts
🧠 Indicator Overview
This indicator is a complete Smart Money Concepts (SMC) toolkit, built to help traders identify institutional activity and market structure shifts using key SMC principles:
• BOS (Break of Structure)
• CHoCH (Change of Character)
• Order Blocks (OB)
• OTE Zones (Optimal Trade Entry)
• FVGs (Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)
This tool provides visual clarity and high-probability trade zones by automating what professional traders do manually.
⸻
🔍 Core Features
✅ BOS & CHoCH Detection
Automatically detects market structure breaks using HH/LL logic. BOS is highlighted when price breaks significant swing highs/lows.
✅ Order Block Zones
Draws boxes around the last bullish/bearish candle before a displacement (impulse move), showing potential institutional OB zones.
✅ OTE Zone Mapping
Calculates the Optimal Trade Entry zone between 0.705–0.79 of a price leg using Fibonacci logic. A powerful confluence area when combined with OBs.
✅ Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Detects imbalances between candles that often act as magnets for price. Visualizes price inefficiencies for future retests.
✅ Custom Inputs
You can toggle any feature on/off for cleaner analysis: BOS/CHoCH, OBs, OTE, and FVGs.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. Structure Recognition:
• The script checks for Higher Highs / Lower Lows to determine trend context.
• A BOS/CHoCH label appears when structure shifts.
2. Order Blocks:
• A bullish OB is detected when the previous candle is bearish and the current one closes above its high.
• A bearish OB is vice versa.
3. OTE Levels:
• Based on daily range from high to low.
• Highlights 0.705–0.79 as a potential retracement entry zone (optimal sniper entry).
4. FVG Detection:
• If there is a gap between candle 3 and candle 1 (current candle), it is marked as an imbalance zone.
🎯 Best Use Cases
• Entry confirmations using CHoCH + OB + OTE confluence
• Liquidity grabs + FVG retest setups
• Institutional trend reversals (AMD cycles)
• Smart retracement entries using OTE zones
⸻
💡 Tips for Traders
• Works best on 15m, 1H, 4H, or Daily charts
• Combine with liquidity sweep logic, volume profile, or your own strategy for sniper precision
• Backtest using BOS + OB + FVG + OTE for high-RR setups
⸻
🛠️ Upcoming Features (Optional)
• Risk:Reward Ratio Tool
• Stop Hunt Detection (SSL/BSL)
• Volume + Sponsored Candle Filter
• Alerts for BOS / OB reaction
• SFP Pattern recognition

Demand and Supply MTF with SMC By StockFusion - 3.0Demand and Supply MTF with SMC By StockFusion - 3.0 - Indicator Description
Concepts
What is Supply & Demand?
Supply and Demand are foundational forces driving market dynamics. Demand reflects the presence of buyers willing to purchase a security, while Supply indicates sellers offering it for sale. These forces create zones on the chart where price tends to react—either reversing or continuing—based on the balance between buying and selling pressure. This indicator identifies these zones using price action patterns, focusing on impulsive moves (strong directional momentum) and retracement phases (consolidation or pullbacks).
What is SMC (Smart Money Concepts)?
Smart Money Concepts (SMC) revolve around tracking the behavior of institutional traders, often called "smart money." By analyzing price action, market structure shifts, and liquidity, SMC helps retail traders align with the moves of larger players. Key SMC signals like Change of Character (CHoCH), Break of Structure (BOS), liquidity sweeps, and swing points provide insights into potential trend changes or continuations.
Overview
Demand and Supply MTF with SMC By StockFusion - 3.0 is a sophisticated, price action-based indicator designed to plot real-time Supply and Demand zones across multiple timeframes (MTF) directly on your chart. It goes beyond simple zone plotting by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inside Candle detection, offering traders a powerful tool for spotting high-probability reversal or continuation areas. The indicator highlights zones with customizable boxes, labels them for clarity, and provides additional SMC-driven insights such as CHoCH, BOS, liquidity sweeps, and swing high/low levels. This combination of multi-timeframe analysis, SMC, and consolidation detection creates a unique and highly practical tool for traders seeking an edge in the markets.
How It Works
The indicator operates by analyzing price action across two user-defined timeframes (Higher TF and Lower TF) to detect Supply and Demand zones. It identifies these zones based on specific price patterns:
Rally Base Rally (RBR): A bullish impulsive move, followed by consolidation, then another bullish move—indicating a Demand zone.
Drop Base Drop (DBD): A bearish impulsive move, consolidation, then another bearish move—indicating a Supply zone.
Drop Base Rally (DBR): A bearish move, consolidation, then a bullish reversal—indicating a Demand zone.
Rally Base Drop (RBD): A bullish move, consolidation, then a bearish reversal—indicating a Supply zone.
These patterns are detected using criteria like explosive candle movements (based on range-to-body ratios and ATR multipliers), volume thresholds, and base candle counts (configurable from 1 to 5 candles). Zones are plotted as horizontal bands, with Higher TF zones taking precedence to avoid overlap with Lower TF zones, ensuring clarity on the chart.
Smart Money Integration:
The indicator enhances zone analysis with SMC features:
CHoCH (Change of Character): Detects shifts in market sentiment by comparing price action against recent swing highs/lows over a customizable period.
BOS (Break of Structure): Identifies when price breaks key structural levels, signaling a potential trend shift.
Liquidity Sweeps: Marks areas where price briefly exceeds swing points before reversing, often targeting stop-loss orders.
Swings: Highlights significant swing highs and lows to track momentum and structure.
Inside Candle Detection:
Inside Candles—smaller candles contained within the range of a prior candle—are plotted to indicate consolidation or indecision, often preceding breakouts. Optional lines can be drawn around these candles for better visibility.
Key Features & How to Use
Real-Time Zone Plotting:
Automatically identifies and marks Supply and Demand zones as they form, using the RBR, RBD, DBR, and DBD patterns. Zones are color-coded (e.g., green for Demand, red for Supply) and can extend rightward for visibility.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Operates on all timeframes, with separate settings for Higher TF (e.g., weekly) and Lower TF (e.g., daily) zones. This allows traders to see both macro and micro levels of market structure.
Automatic Detection:
No manual input is required—zones are plotted based on price action, volume, and SMA trends. Live candle volume is displayed for context.
Tested Zone Management:
Optionally removes zones after they’re tested (price revisits and reverses) or after a second leg-out move, keeping the chart uncluttered.
Customizable Display:
Choose which patterns to detect (RBR, RBD, etc.).
Adjust base candle counts (1-5), explosive candle parameters (Range-Body Ratio, Multiplier), and quality filters (SMA length, Volume Multiplier).
Customize colors for zones, borders, labels, and candles (boring, bullish explosive, bearish explosive).
Enable/disable labels and pattern names on boxes.
Alerts:
Set notifications for zone formation, CHoCH, BOS, and liquidity sweeps on your chosen timeframe.
Inside Candle Visualization:
Highlights consolidation phases with color-coded candles and optional lines, aiding breakout anticipation.
SMC Insights:
Visualizes CHoCH, BOS, liquidity sweeps, and swings with distinct lines and labels, helping traders follow institutional moves.
How to Use It:
Approaching Zones: When price nears a Supply or Demand zone, watch for reversal patterns (e.g., pin bars, engulfing candles) or SMC signals (e.g., BOS, liquidity sweeps) to confirm entries. Combine with your tested strategy—don’t trade zones blindly.
SMC Signals: Use CHoCH for early trend reversal clues, BOS for trend continuation, and liquidity sweeps to gauge manipulation.
Inside Candles: Monitor for breakouts after consolidation periods marked by Inside Candles.
Why It’s Unique & Valuable
This indicator stands out by blending multi-timeframe Supply and Demand analysis with Smart Money Concepts and Inside Candle detection into a single, cohesive tool. While it uses classic elements like price action and volume, its proprietary logic—combining specific pattern detection (RBR, RBD, DBR, DBD), SMC signals (CHoCH, BOS, etc.), and consolidation tracking—offers a fresh approach. Unlike generic trend-following or scalping tools, it provides actionable insights into market structure and institutional behavior, making it worth considering for traders willing to invest in a premium tool. The flexibility of customization and MTF functionality further enhances its utility across trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
Market Structure Break Targets [UAlgo]The "Market Structure Break Targets " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key market structure points such as Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structures (BoS). These points are crucial for understanding market trends and potential reversal zones. By plotting these structures on the chart, traders can easily spot significant support and resistance levels, as well as potential entry and exit points.
This indicator uses a combination of swing highs and lows to determine market structures and calculates targets based on user-defined percentages or Average True Range (ATR) multipliers. It provides visual cues in the form of lines, labels, and boxes to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Swing Length: Users can set the swing length to identify the pivot highs and lows, which are crucial for determining market structure.
Target Duration Bars: Defines the maximum duration (in bars) for which the targets will be considered valid.
Target Calculation Methods: The target levels are crucial for setting potential price objectives. The calculation can be based on a percentage move from the identified pivot or using the ATR to factor in market volatility. These targets help in setting realistic profit-taking levels or identifying stop-loss placements.
Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Break (MSB): Detects and highlights bullish and bearish market structure breaks with customizable colors and target percentages.
Bullish MSB
When the price closes above a significant pivot high, a bullish MSB is identified. The indicator will draw a line at this level and calculate a target based on the chosen method (percentage or ATR). The target is visualized with a dotted line, and a label "MSB" is displayed. Additionally, an order block is created at the level of the bullish MSB. This order block is highlighted with a semi-transparent box, representing a potential area where price might find support in the future.
Bearish MSB
Conversely, when the price closes below a significant pivot low, a bearish MSB is marked. Similar to bullish MSBs, targets are calculated and displayed on the chart. An order block is also generated at the level of the bearish MSB, visualized with a semi-transparent box. This box highlights a potential resistance area where price might face selling pressure.
Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure (BoS): Identifies break of structures for both bullish and bearish scenarios, providing additional target levels.
Bullish BoS
If the price continues to rise and breaks another significant level, a bullish BoS is detected. This break is also marked with lines and labels, providing additional target levels for traders. An order block is created at the BoS level, serving as a potential support zone.
Bearish BoS
If the price falls further after a bearish MSB, a bearish BoS is identified and visualized similarly. The indicator creates an order block at the BoS level, which acts as a potential resistance zone.

Zendog V2 backtest DCA bot 3commasHi everyone,
After a few iterations and additional implemented features this version of the Backtester is now open source.
The Strategy is a Backtester for 3commas DCA bots. The main usage scenario is to plugin your external indicator, and backtest it using different DCA settings.
Before using this script please make sure you read these explanations and make sure you understand how it works.
Features:
- Because of Tradingview limitations on how orders are grouped into Trades, this Strategy statistics are calculated by the script, so please ignore the Strategy Tester statistics completely
Statistics Table explained:
- Status: either all deals are closed or there is a deal still running, in which case additional info
is provided below, as when the deal started, current PnL, current SO
- Finished deals: Total number of closed deals both Winning and Losing.
A deal is comprised as the Base Order (BO) + all Safety Orders (SO) related to that deal, so this number
will be different than the Strategy Tester List of Trades
- Winning Deals: Deal ended in profit
- Losing deals: Deals ended with loss due to Stop Loss. In the future I might add a Deal Stop condition to
the script, so that will count towards this number as well.
- Total days ( Max / Avg days in Deal ):
Total Days in the Backtest given by either Tradingview limitation on the number of candles or by the
config of the script regarding "Limit Date Range".
Max Days spent in a deal + which period this happened.
Avg days spent in a deal.
- Required capital: This is the total capital required to run the Backtester and it is automatically calculated by
the script taking into consideration BO size, SO size, SO volume scale. This should be the same as 3commas.
This number overwrites strategy.initial_capital and is used to calculate Profit and other stats, so you don't need
to update strategy.initial_capital every time you change BO/SO settings
- Profit after commission
- Buy and Hold return: The PnL that could have been obtained by buying at the close of the first candle of the
backtester and selling at the last.
- Covered deviation: The % of price move from initial BO order covered by SO settings
- Max Deviation: Biggest market % price move vs BO price, in the other direction (for long
is down, for short it is up)
- Max Drawdown: Biggest market % price move vs Avg price of the whole Trade (BO + any SO), in the other
direction (for long price goes down, for short it goes up)
This is calculated for the whole Trade so it is different than List of Trades
- Max / Avg bars in deal
- Total volume / Commission calculated by the strategy. For correct commission please set Commission in the
Inputs Tab and you may ignore Properties Tab
- Close stats for deals: This is a list of how many Trades were closed at each step, including Stop Loss (if
configured), together with covered deviation for that step, the number of deals, and the percentage of this
number from all the deals
TODO: Might add deal avg value for each step
- Settings Table that can be enabled / disabled just to have an overview of your configs on the chart, this is a
drawn on bottom left
- Steps Table similar to 3commas, this is also drawn on bottom left, so please disable Settings table if you want
to see this one
TODO: Might add extra stats here
- Deal start condition: built in RSI-7 or plugin any external indicator and compare with any value the indicator plots
(main purpose of this strategy is to connect your own studies, so using external indicator is recommended)
- Base order and safety orders configs similar to 3commas (order size, percent deviation, safety orders,
percent scale and volume scale)
- Long and Short
- Stop Loss
- Support for Take profit from base order or from Total volume of the deal
- Configs help (besides self explanatory):
- Chart theme: Adjust according to the theme you run on. There is no way to detect theme at the moment.
This adjust different colors
- Deal Start Type: Either a builtin RSI7 or "External indicator"
- Indicator Source an value: If using External Indicator then select source, comparison and value.
For example you could start a deal when Volume is greater than xxxx, or code a custom indicator that plots
different values based on your conditions and test those values
- Visuals / Decimals for display: Adjust according to your symbol
- BO Entry Price for steps table: This is the BO start deal price used to calculate the steps in the table
SM OB Intraday Bot AssistantSM OB Intraday Bot Assistant is an intraday tool built around Smart Money Concepts (SMC). It focuses on market structure, Order Blocks and mitigation, and then turns them into a complete trade plan with entry, adaptive stop-loss and structured take-profit levels.
────────────────────
1. Concept & purpose
────────────────────
The script is designed for intraday trading on 15m–1h timeframes. It automates a classic SMC workflow:
1) Detect swing structure and Break Of Structure (BOS).
2) Identify bullish/bearish Order Blocks (OB) and Hidden Order Blocks (HOB).
3) Filter them using impulse strength, volume and Fib/OTE confluence.
4) Build a trade idea: Entry, Stop-Loss, TP1, TP2, TP3.
5) Track trade status and basic statistics on chart.
The source is protected (invite-only), but the logic below describes how the script works so traders can understand and use it.
────────────────────
2. Structure, BOS and FVG
────────────────────
• Swings are detected using configurable swing length.
• BOS is confirmed only when:
– Price closes beyond the last swing high/low by a minimum tick distance.
– The break candle is an impulse: its body must exceed a minimum ATR fraction and a minimum Body/Range ratio.
• Optional filter: the BOS candle must also create a 3-bar Fair Value Gap (FVG).
This helps the script focus on meaningful breaks instead of random noise.
────────────────────
3. Order Blocks & Hidden OBs
────────────────────
After a valid BOS, the script looks back for the last opposite candle to define an Order Block:
• Only small-body candles are considered (body ≤ X% of total range), with a minimum OB height in ticks.
• OBs can be built using either candle bodies or full wicks.
• Hidden OBs (HOBs) are marked when price creates same-bias FVGs further in the direction of the BOS, while the original OB remains unmitigated.
• Each OB is stored as a box that can be:
– Extended to the right,
– Limited to N bars, or
– Kept only at its origin.
Mitigation state is tracked for each OB:
• 0 = untouched
• 1 = partially mitigated
• 2 = fully mitigated
The user can choose which mitigation states to display.
────────────────────
4. Fib / OTE confluence
────────────────────
The script automatically builds the last significant leg between swing low and swing high and computes:
• Fib levels 0.618 / 0.705 / 0.786
• An OTE band (roughly between the 62–79% retracement area)
An OB is marked as “in confluence” when its midpoint is near these Fib levels or inside the OTE band, with tolerance based on ATR. This allows traders to focus on OBs that align with both structure and retracement logic.
────────────────────
5. Volume filter
────────────────────
For each OB, the script compares its candle volume to a volume moving average:
• If enabled, only OBs with volume ≥ (multiplier × volume MA) are considered valid for entries.
This acts as a simple high-volume filter to ignore weak zones that form on low participation.
────────────────────
6. Trade logic and “smart” levels
────────────────────
When a new qualified OB appears and meets the filters, the script builds a full intraday trade plan:
• Entry:
– Taken from the midpoint of the OB (PIN / mid-zone), not from an arbitrary price.
• Stop-Loss:
– For longs: behind the nearest meaningful low (recent swing low or OB low).
– For shorts: behind the nearest meaningful high (recent swing high or OB high).
– The SL is then capped so that its distance never exceeds the distance to TP1.
This keeps risk under control and avoids oversized stops.
• Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3):
– Targets are not fixed percentages of stop.
– The script computes a “base unit” using:
• distance to the next structure level,
• ATR,
• OB height,
• and a minimum percentage of price.
– TP1, TP2, TP3 are multiples of this base unit, so all targets are tied to volatility and structure, not random numbers.
This makes the levels more realistic for intraday trading compared to simple R-multiples.
────────────────────
7. Execution control
────────────────────
• Only one active trade at a time can be enforced if desired.
• The script can block opening a new trade in the same direction while the previous one is still active.
• OBs can expire on first touch if the user prefers to keep the chart clean.
────────────────────
8. Trade panel & statistics
────────────────────
The script includes a compact on-chart table showing:
• Direction: LONG / SHORT
• Entry price
• Stop-Loss
• TP1, TP2, TP3
• Current trade status:
– “Waiting”, “In play”, “TP1 hit”, “TP2 hit”, “TP3 hit”, “SL hit”, etc.
• Rolling win rate (WR) over the last 100 trades, based on TP1 vs SL.
This allows traders to visually follow the logic of the system and its recent performance without having to read code.
────────────────────
9. Alerts and automation
────────────────────
The indicator exposes alert conditions for:
• New bullish / bearish OB
• Mitigation of bullish / bearish OB
• Trade entry signals (LONG / SHORT)
It can also format alerts as JSON-style messages containing entry, SL and TP levels, so that external tools, webhooks or custom bots can parse and act on them. This makes it easier to connect the script to automated execution, while the trade logic and risk parameters remain fully controlled inside the indicator.
────────────────────
10. Usage notes
────────────────────
• Recommended environment: intraday crypto or FX on 15m–1h.
• Best use cases:
– Focusing on high-quality OBs with structural and Fib/OTE confluence.
– Using the generated Entry/SL/TP1–TP3 as a consistent intraday playbook.
– Feeding signals into external automation via alerts.
This script is not a guarantee of profits and is not financial advice. It is a framework that formalizes a specific Smart Money style approach (BOS → OB/HOB → mitigation → confluence → structured targets) so traders can apply it systematically in their own strategies.
SmartMoneyConcept ProFlow StrategySmartMoneyConcept ProFlow is a complete SMC-based algo built for trending markets and clean volatility phases – especially on crypto pairs like BTC, ETH and perpetual futures.
It combines:
• Smart Money swing structure (BOS / CHoCH)
• Dynamic Support & Resistance levels
• Order Block–style gap detection
• Volatility normalization (ATR / Range / BBWidth)
• SuperTrend trend filter
• ATR & Volume-based exits, TP lock and session control
The goal: fewer random trades, more focused entries when structure + volatility + trend are in sync.
1. Core Idea
Smart Structure Levels (S/R)
– The strategy builds dynamic support/resistance using swing highs/lows.
– Breakouts above resistance or below support, with enough volatility (filter), become primary trade signals.
BOS / CHoCH Engine
– Tracks Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH).
– BOS up/down help define the current trend bias.
– CHoCH highlights potential reversals after a confirmed BOS in the opposite direction.
Order Block Gap Logic
– Detects displacement candles with gaps (based on ATR) to approximate OB-style “impulsive moves”.
– Bullish gaps can add confluence for long entries, bearish gaps for shorts.
Volatility-Aware Entries
– Uses normalized volatility (via ATR, Range or BBWidth).
– Filters out breakouts in dead, low-vol environments and focuses on moves with real expansion.
2. Trend & Risk Management Stack
SuperTrend Filter
– Optional “Only With SuperTrend Direction” to restrict entries to the current ST trend.
– ST flips can also force exits if you want to exit as soon as the main trend changes.
ATR-Based Stops & Trails
– ATR distance check to avoid ultra-tight stops that get chopped instantly.
– Three modes:
• StopOnly – classic fixed ATR stop.
• TrailOnly – trailing ATR-style stop.
• StopAndTrail – initial fixed stop that later trails with price.
Volume-Based Exits (Optional)
– Exit on extremely low volume (move losing participation).
– Or on opposite volume spikes (strong counter-pressure against your position).
– Or use Both for a more active volume management.
TP Lock Logic
– When unrealized profit reaches a chosen value, the position is closed and a “lock” can be applied.
– Use this lock to:
• block same-direction re-entries for that side, or
• allow them again depending on your preference.
3. Anti-Churn & Session Control
Anti-Churn Controls
– Minimum bars between entries.
– Cooldown after an ATR exit.
– Limit of max entries per bar.
Session Filter
– Restrict trading to a specific hourly window (e.g. main market session).
– Option to force close positions outside your active session.
– Handy for intraday traders who don’t want overnight or low-liquidity exposure.
4. SmartMoney Preset Modes
Preset Mode:
• EtherFlux – more flexible, for general breakout & volatility trading.
• SmartMoney – SMC-focused preset:
– Adjusted length, volatility filter and ATR settings.
– Option to disable exits from the strategy side (for manual risk control).
Switching presets automatically tunes multiple internal parameters so you don’t have to micromanage every input each time.
5. Visual Layer
This script has a complete visual suite to help you “read the tape”:
– Bar Colors by position and SuperTrend bias.
– Support / Resistance dots and lines (stepline style).
– Order Block markers (bullish / bearish gap labels).
– BOS / CHoCH labels to track structure shifts in real-time.
– Liquidation Zones (visual only)
• Approximate long and short liquidation areas based on assumed leverage.
• Shaded zones on the chart for quick liquidity map.
– Status Labels
• Session status (ACTIVE / OFF / DISABLED).
• Current position (LONG / SHORT / FLAT).
• TP Lock status (longs locked / shorts locked / no lock).
All visuals are designed for dark charts but also work on light themes with minor tweaks.
6. Quick Input Guide
• Levels Period & Volatility Filter – main structure sensitivity and breakout quality.
• Volatility Method – ATR / Range / BBWidth normalization for the vol filter.
• ATR Stop & Management – core risk rules: ATR multiplier, stop/trail mode, min ATR distance.
• SuperTrend Settings – trend bias and ST-flip exits.
• SmartMoney Preset – quick switch between EtherFlux and SmartMoney tuning.
• Volume Exits – low volume / opposite spike / both.
• Session Filter – hour-based trading window + optional forced flat outside session.
• Follow-Signal Mode – flip from long→short or short→long when signal reverses (signal-based rotation).
• TP Lock – secure profits at a fixed amount and optionally block same-direction re-entries.
• Liq Zones – visual only, for liquidity map (no direct trade logic).
How to Use (My Suggestion)
Start on 15m–4H charts for liquid pairs (BTC, ETH, majors).
Choose your preset:
– EtherFlux for more general breakout + vol trading.
– SmartMoney if you want stricter SMC behaviour.
Turn on SuperTrend + ATR stops for cleaner risk management.
Forward-test in replay / paper trading before using real capital.
Use the visual BOS/CHoCH + Liq Zones as context , not as blind signals.

SMC Trend Filter Strategy (EMA50/EMA200 + FVG)Overview
This strategy implements a multi-timeframe Smart Money Concept (SMC) trading system designed for intraday and swing trading.
It combines a Daily trend filter, Break of Structure (BOS) detection, Order Block (OB) zones, Fair Value Gap (FVG) confirmation, and an ATR-based trailing stop system to achieve structured and rule-based entries.
The strategy is fully automated for backtesting and allows users to evaluate SMC concepts without repainting or discretionary interpretation.
- Core Components
1. Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (Daily EMA50/EMA200)
The strategy retrieves D1 data and determines market direction using EMA50 and EMA200:
Uptrend → EMA50 > EMA200
Downtrend → EMA50 < EMA200
Trades are only taken in the direction of the Daily trend to avoid counter-trend setups.
2. Market Structure & Break of Structure (BOS)
The strategy identifies swing highs/lows and detects when price breaks beyond them:
Bullish BOS: price closes above previous swing high
Bearish BOS: price closes below previous swing low
This forms the foundation of SMC market structure recognition.
3. Order Block Zone (OB)
Upon detecting a BOS, the strategy marks the previous candle as a potential Order Block:
For bullish BOS → OB = previous candle’s high/low
For bearish BOS → OB = previous candle’s high/low
The OB zone is visualized using a semi-transparent box extended forward
Close-Only Market StructureDYOR NFA
Function of the Close-Only Market Structure Script
The script is a custom indicator designed to display the market's structural trend based only on closing prices, ignoring price wicks (highs and lows) to focus on conviction.
pivotLengthInt Input: This user setting controls the sensitivity of the structure detection. It determines how many bars to look left and right to define a swing point (e.g., a setting of 5 means a bar's close must be the highest/lowest of the 5 preceding and 5 succeeding bars).
Swing Point Identification (SH/SL): It uses the ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions on the close price series to define Swing Highs (SH) and Swing Lows (SL).
Structure Tracking (structureType): It compares the most recent confirmed SH and SL against the immediately preceding ones (prevSH and prevSL) to classify the trend as one of the following four states:
HH (Higher High, Higher Low): Strong Uptrend
LL (Lower High, Lower Low): Strong Downtrend
HL/LH: Complex structure, consolidation, or reversal zones.
Structure Lines: It plots two continuous stepped lines (lastSH and lastSL) that hold the price of the most recent confirmed swing points, visually defining the current structure boundaries.
BOS Detection (Break of Structure): It identifies and plots a marker (BOS) when the current bar's close definitively breaks (closes above) the lastSH or closes below the lastSL, signaling a continuation of the trend or a major structural change.
Visual Confirmation:
Plots small SH/SL labels at the confirmed swing points.
Plots small HH/HL/LH/LL labels at the swing points to show the confirmed structural state.
Applies a light background color (green for bullish/ranging-up, red for bearish/ranging-down) for an at-a-glance view of the bias.
Alerts: It provides conditions for setting up notifications when a Bullish BOS or Bearish BOS occurs.
