Enhanced London Session SMC SetupEnhanced London Session SMC Setup Indicator
This Pine Script-based indicator is designed for traders focusing on the London trading session, leveraging smart money concepts (SMC) to identify potential trading opportunities in the GBP/USD currency pair. The script uses multiple techniques such as Order Block Detection, Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Analysis, Change of Character (CHoCH) detection, and Fibonacci retracement levels to aid in market structure analysis, providing a well-rounded approach to trade setups.
Features:
London Session Highlight:
The indicator visually marks the London trading session (from 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC) on the chart using a blue background, signaling when the high-volume, high-impulse moves tend to occur, helping traders focus their analysis on this key session.
Order Block Detection:
Identifies significant impulse moves that may form order blocks (supply and demand zones). Order blocks are areas where institutions have executed large orders, often leading to price reversals or continuation. The indicator plots the high and low of these order blocks, providing key levels to monitor for potential entries.
Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Detection:
Detects and highlights price imbalances or fair value gaps (FVG) where the market has moved too quickly, creating a gap in price action. These areas are often revisited by price, offering potential trade opportunities. The upper and lower bounds of the imbalance are visually marked for easy reference.
Change of Character (CHoCH) Detection:
This feature identifies potential trend reversals by detecting significant changes in market character. When the price action shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa, a CHoCH signal is triggered, and the corresponding level is marked on the chart. This can help traders catch trend reversals at key levels.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The script calculates and plots the key Fibonacci retracement levels (0.618 and 0.786 by default) based on the highest and lowest points over a user-defined swing lookback period. These levels are commonly used by traders to identify potential pullback zones where price may reverse or find support/resistance.
Directional Bias Based on Market Structure:
The indicator provides a market structure analysis by comparing the current highs and lows to the previous periods' highs and lows. This helps in identifying whether the market is in a bullish or bearish state, providing a clear directional bias for trade setups.
Alerts:
The indicator comes with built-in alert conditions to notify the trader when an order block, imbalance, CHoCH, or other significant price action event is detected, ensuring timely action can be taken.
Ideal Usage:
Timeframe: Suitable for intraday trading, particularly focusing on the London session (08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC).
Currency Pair: Specifically designed for GBP/USD but can be adapted to other pairs with similar market behavior.
Trading Strategy: Best used in conjunction with a price action strategy, focusing on the key levels identified (order blocks, FVG, CHoCH) and using Fibonacci retracement levels for precision entries.
Target Audience: Ideal for traders who follow smart money concepts (SMC) and are looking for a structured approach to identify high-probability setups during the London session.

ICT HTF Candles [Source Code] (fadi)Plotting a configurable higher timeframe on current chart's timeframe helps visualize price movement without changing timeframes. It also plots FVG and Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe for easier visualization.
With ICT concepts, we usually wait for HTF break of structure and then find an entry on a lower timeframe. With this indicator, we can set it to the HTF and watch the develop of price action until the break of structure happens. We can then take an entry on the current timeframe.
Settings
HTF Higher timeframe to plot
Number of candles to display The number of higher timeframe candles to display to the right of current price action
Body/Border/Wick The candle colors for the body, border, and wick
Padding from current candles The distance from current timeframe's candles
Space between candles Increase / decrease the candle spacing
Candle width The size of the candles
Imbalance
Fair Value Gap Show / Hide FVG on the higher timeframe
Volume Imbalance Show / Hide Volume Imbalance on the higher timeframe

Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) is a script designed to detect liquidity voids & levels by measuring traded volume at all price levels on the market between two swing points and highlighting the distribution of the liquidity voids & levels at specific price levels.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidity is a fundamental market force that shapes the trajectory of assets.
The creation of a liquidity level comes as a result of an initial imbalance of supply/demand, which forms what we know as a swing high or swing low. As more players take positions in the market, these are levels that market participants will use as a historical reference to place their stops. When the levels are then re-tested, a decision will be made. The binary outcome here can be a breakout of the level or a reversal back to the mean.
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes that occur in the market when the price jumps from one level to another with little trading activity (low volume), creating an imbalance in price. The price tends to fill or retest the liquidity voids area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active.
Liquidity voids are a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and detects the liquidity voids based on them, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.
🔹 Liquidity Levels / Voids
Liquidity Levels/Voids: Color customization option for Unfilled Liquidity Levels/Voids.
Detection Length: Lookback period used for the calculation of Swing Levels.
Threshold %: Threshold used for the calculation of the Liquidity Levels & Voids.
Sensitivity: Adjusts the number of levels between two swing points, as a result, the height of a level is determined, and then based on the above-given threshold the level is checked if it matches the liquidity level/void conditions.
Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids: Toggles the visibility of the Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids and color customization option for Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids.
🔹 Other Features
Swing Highs/Lows: Toggles the visibility of the Swing Levels, where tooltips present statistical information, such as price, price change, and cumulative volume between the two swing levels detected based on the detection length specified above, Coloring options to customize swing low and swing high label colors, and Size option to adjust the size of the labels.
🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization.
# Bars: Lookback length customization, in case Mode is set to Present.

itradesize /\ Overnight Session & Silver BulletOvernight Session & Silver Bullet indicator
The indicator can be divided into two separate stuff:
ONS ( Overnight Session ) based on TCM’s ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) theory and Silver Bullet based on what ICT ( InnerCircleTrader ) is teaching to us.
Overnight Session
• ONS will be always based on Chicago 4am to 8am time according to TCM’s CME teaching.
The indicator has the option to show TSO ( Today’s session only ) which is good to have the chart not messed up by it. At this time when it comes to backtesting just turn this off to have the past ONS and SB ranges showed up on your chart.
• Mid line at the ONS range is useful to have as you are able to decide wether price is in a premium or a discount under the ONS.
If Im a buyer target is above the range, if Im a seller target is below the range.
• You are also able to have SD ( Standard Deviation ) lines for price projections. In the variety of TCM’s videos you are able to have a deeper knowledge.
• You can also extend Today’s ONS lines to the very end of the chart which could make an easier looking on the levels you eyeing with.
Silver Bullet
It’s based on New York time as ICT ( Inner Circle Trader ) is always teaching to us that we should use New York time, every time when it comes to his concepts.
Silver Bullets are always be there aiming of an opposing liquidity pool. They are working even on choppy days.
Silver Bullet hours:
• 03:00 - 04:00am NY Time
• 10:00 - 11:00am NY Time
• 02:00 - 03:00pm NY Time
SB highlighted areas could be shown as a box or a range according to your taste, with or without Start/End lines.
Both of them ca be used to form trades.
You should dig yourself into Silver Bullet ( InnerCircleTrader ) and Overnight Session ( TheCurrencyMerchant ) teachings before the use of the indicator.
Simple setups
• Silver Bullet
Look 20-30 minutes before any SB where the Buy or Sell program has started.
Where the first 1m FVG ( Fair Value Gap ) appears under the range, enter the trade.
Expect only a 5 handle move as a beginner.
1m chart is a must for these kind of FVG entries. ( 30s , 15s can also be used )
• ONS
Price is trading aggressively out of the range to take liquidity.
Once price grabbed liquidity that candle on the 3-5m could considered as on order block for the further movement.
If you are trading in the range, then the opposite side can be the target, if its out of the range and trading one sided, then use standard deviations as 0.5 is a minimum target.

Session Volume Spike DetectorSession Volume Spike Detector (Buy/Sell, Dual Windows, MTF + Edge/Cooldown)
What it does
Detects statistically significant buy/sell volume spikes inside two DST-aware Mountain Time sessions and projects 1m / 5m / 10m signals onto any chart timeframe (even 1s). Spikes are confirmed at the close of their native bar and are edge-triggered with optional cooldowns to prevent duplicate alerts.
How spikes are detected
Volume ≥ SMA × multiplier
Optional jump vs recent highest volume
Optional Z-Score gate for significance
Separate Buy/Sell logic using your Direction Mode (Prev Close or Candle Body)
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) display
Shows 1m, 5m, 10m arrows on your current chart
Each HTF fires once on its bar close (no repaint after close)
Sessions (DST-aware, MT)
Morning: 05:30–08:30
Midday: 11:00–13:30
Spikes only count inside these windows.
Inputs & styling
Thresholds: SMA length, multipliers, recent lookback, Z-Score toggle/level
Toggles for which TFs to display (chart TF, 1m, 5m, 10m)
Per-TF colors + cooldowns (seconds) for Any TF, 1m, 5m, 10m
Alerts (edge + cooldown)
MTF Volume Spike (Any TF) — fires on the first qualifying spike across enabled TFs
1m / 5m / 10m Volume Spike — per-TF alerts, Buy or Sell
Recommended: set alert Trigger = Once per bar close. Cooldowns tame “triggered too often” warnings.
Great with
FVG zones, bank/insto levels, session range breaks, and trend filters. Use the MTF arrows as a participation/pressure tell to confirm or fade moves.
Notes
Works on any symbol/timeframe; best viewed on 1m or sub-minute charts.
HTF spikes appear on the bar close of 1m/5m/10m respectively.
No dynamic plot titles; Pine v6-safe.

MTF volume-spike detector for intraday sessions (DST-aware, MT). Projects 1m/5m/10m buy/sell spikes onto any chart, with edge-triggered alerts and per-TF cooldowns to prevent duplicates. Ideal for spotting institutional participation.
Session Volume Spike Detector (MTF Arrows)Overview
The Session Volume Spike Detector is a precision multi-timeframe (MTF) tool that identifies sudden surges in buy or sell volume during key market windows. It highlights high-impact institutional participation by comparing current volume against its historical baseline and short-term highs, then plots directional markers on your chart.
This version adds MTF awareness, showing spikes from 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute frames on a single chart. It’s ideal for traders monitoring microstructure shifts across multiple time compressions while staying on a fast chart (like 1-second or 1-minute).
Key Features
Dual Session Windows (DST-aware)
Automatically tracks Morning (05:30–08:30 MT) and Midday (11:00–13:30 MT) activity, adjusted for daylight savings.
Directional Spike Detection
Flags Buy spikes (green triangles) and Sell spikes (magenta triangles) using dynamic volume gates, Z-Score normalization, and recent-bar jump filters.
Multi-Timeframe Projection
Displays higher-timeframe (1m / 5m / 10m) spikes directly on your active chart for continuous visual context — even on sub-minute intervals.
Adaptive Volume Logic
Each spike is validated against:
Volume ≥ SMA × multiplier
Volume ≥ recent-high × jump factor
Optional Z-Score threshold for statistical significance
Session-Only Filtering
Ensures spikes are only plotted within specified trading sessions — ideal for futures or intraday equity traders.
Configurable Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
Any timeframe (MTF aggregate)
Individual 1m, 5m, or 10m windows
Alerts trigger only when a new qualifying spike appears at the close of its bar.
Use Cases
Detect algorithmic or institutional activity bursts inside your trading window.
Track confluence of volume surges across multiple timeframes.
Combine with FVGs, bank levels, or range breakouts to identify probable continuation or reversal zones.
Build custom automation or alert workflows around statistically unusual participation spikes.
Recommended Settings
Use on 1-minute chart for full MTF display.
Adjust the SMA length (default 20) and Z-Score threshold (default 3.0) to suit market volatility.
For scalping or high-frequency environments, disable the 10m layer to reduce visual clutter.

Trend Pivots Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Trend Pivots Profile is a dynamic volume profile tool that builds profiles around pivot points to reveal where liquidity accumulates during trend shifts. When the market is in an uptrend , the indicator generates profiles at low pivots . In a downtrend , it builds them at high pivots . Each profile is constructed using lower timeframe volume data for higher resolution, making it highly precise even in limited space. A colored trendline helps traders instantly recognize the prevailing trend and anticipate which type of profile (bullish or bearish) will form.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Driven Profiles : Profiles are only created when a new pivot forms, aligning liquidity analysis with market structure shifts.
Trend-Contextual : Profiles form at low pivots in uptrends and at high pivots in downtrends.
Lower Timeframe Data : Volume and close values are pulled from smaller timeframes to provide detailed, high-resolution profiles inside larger pivot windows.
Adaptive Bin Sizing : Bin size is automatically calculated relative to ATR, ensuring consistent precision across different markets and volatility conditions.
Point of Control (PoC) : The highest-volume level within each profile is marked with a PoC line that extends until the next pivot forms.
Trendline Visualization : A wide, semi-transparent line follows the rolling average of highs and lows, colored blue in uptrends and orange in downtrends.
🔵 FEATURES
Pivot Length Control : Adjust how far back the script looks to detect pivots (e.g., length 5 → profiles cover 10 bars after pivot).
Pivot Profile toggle :
On → draw the filled pivot profile + PoC + pivot label.
Off → hide profiles; show only PoC level (clean S/R mode).
Trend Length Filter : Smooths trendline detection to ensure reliable up/down bias.
Precise Volume Distribution : Volume is aggregated into bins, creating a smooth volume curve around the pivot range.
PoC Extension : Automatically extends the most active price level until a new pivot is confirmed.
Profile Visualization : Profiles appear as filled shapes anchored at the pivot candle, colored based on trend.
Trendline Overlay : Thick, semi-transparent trendline provides visual guidance on directional bias.
Automatic Cleanup : Old profiles are deleted once they exceed the chart’s capacity (default 25 stored profiles).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spotting Trend Liquidity : In an uptrend, monitor profiles at low pivots to see where buyers concentrated. In downtrends, use high-pivot profiles to spot sell-side pressure.
Watch the PoC : The PoC line highlights the strongest traded level of the pivot structure—expect reactions when price retests it.
Anticipate Trend Continuation/Reversal : Use the trendline (blue = bullish, orange = bearish) together with pivot profiles to forecast directional momentum.
Combine with HTF Context : Overlay with higher timeframe structure (order blocks, liquidity zones, or FVGs) for confluence.
Fine-Tune with Inputs : Adjust Pivot Length for sensitivity and Trend Length for smoother or faster trend shifts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Trend Pivots Profile blends pivot-based structure with precise volume profiling. By dynamically plotting profiles on pivots aligned with the prevailing trend, highlighting PoCs, and overlaying a directional trendline, it equips traders with a clear view of liquidity clusters and directional momentum—ideal for anticipating reactions, pullbacks, or breakouts.
Aggression Bulbs v3.1 (Sessions + Bias, fixed)EYLONAggression Bulbs v3.2 (Sessions + Bias + Volume Surge)
This indicator highlights aggressive buy and sell activity during the London and New York sessions, using volume spikes and candle body dominance to detect institutional momentum.
⚙️ Main Logic
Compares each candle’s volume vs average volume (Volume Surge).
Checks body size vs full candle range to detect strong directional moves.
Uses an EMA bias filter to align signals with the current trend.
Displays green bubbles for aggressive buyers and red bubbles for aggressive sellers.
🕐 Sessions
London: 08:00–12:59 UTC+1
New York: 14:00–18:59 UTC+1
(Backgrounds: Yellow = London, Orange = New York)
📊 How to Read
🟢 Green bubble below bar → Aggressive BUY candle (strong demand).
🔴 Red bubble above bar → Aggressive SELL candle (strong supply).
Bubble size = relative strength (volume × candle dominance).
Use in confluence with key POI zones, volume profile, or delta clusters.
⚠️ Tips
Use on 1m–15m charts for scalping or intraday analysis.
Combine with your session bias or FVG zones for higher accuracy.
Set alerts when score ≥ threshold to catch early momentum.
Higher Timeframe Bias and DOLAn indicator which looks at the most recent FVG and, assuming it's been respected, provides a bias flag on the 1H, 4H and Daily levels.
ORB 5 Minute w/FVG and Retracement Breakout strategy creates five minute breakout lines on the 1 minute chart. Highlights any fair value gaps created within ORB and creates an arrow showing when a candle retraces into the fvg.
Multi-TF FVG Kerze Break AlertHere's a breakdown of the key files:
App.tsx: This is the main component that orchestrates the entire user interface. It manages the application's state, including the input Pine Script, the selected target language, the resulting converted code, and the loading/error states.
services/geminiService.ts: This file handles all communication with the Google Gemini API. It takes the Pine Script and the target language, constructs a detailed prompt instructing the AI on how to perform the conversion, sends the request, and processes the response.
components/CodeEditor.tsx: A reusable UI component that provides a styled for both displaying the input Pine Script and the read-only output.
constants.ts: This file centralizes static data. It contains the list of target languages for the dropdown menu and the default Pine Script code that loads when the application first starts.
index.html & index.tsx: These are the standard entry points for the React application, responsible for setting up the web page and mounting the main App component.
In essence, the application provides a user-friendly interface for developers to convert financial trading algorithms written in TradingView's Pine Script into other popular programming languages, leveraging the power of the Gemini AI model to perform the translation.
Opening Range Gaps [TakingProphets]What is an Opening Range Gap (ORG)?
In ICT, the Opening Range Gap is defined as the price difference between the previous session’s close (e.g., 4:00 PM EST in U.S. indices) and the current day’s open (9:30 AM EST).
That gap is a liquidity void—an area where no trading occurred during regular hours.
Why ICT Traders Care About ORG
Liquidity Void (Gap Fill Logic)
-Because the gap is an untraded area, it naturally acts as a draw on liquidity.
-Price often seeks to rebalance by retracing into or fully filling this void.
Premium/Discount Sensitivity
-Once the ORG is defined, ICT treats it as a mini dealing range.
-Above EQ (Consequent Encroachment) = algorithmic premium (sell-sensitive).
-Below EQ = algorithmic discount (buy-sensitive).
-Price reaction at these levels gives a precise read on institutional intent intraday.
Support/Resistance from ORG
-If the session opens above prior close, the gap often acts as support until violated.
-If the session opens below prior close, the gap often acts as resistance until reclaimed.
Key ICT Concepts Anchored to ORG
Consequent Encroachment (CE): The midpoint of the gap. The algo is highly sensitive to CE as a decision point: reject → continuation; reclaim → reversal.
Draw on Liquidity (DoL): Price is algorithmically “pulled” toward gap fills, CE, or the opposite side of the ORG.
Order Flow Confirmation: If price ignores the gap and runs away from it, this signals strong institutional order flow in that direction.
Confluence with Other Tools: FVGs, OBs, and HTF PD arrays often overlap with ORG levels, strengthening setups.
Practical Application for Traders
Bias Formation:
Use ORG EQ as a line in the sand for intraday bias.
If price trades below ORG EQ after the open → look for short setups into the prior day’s low or external liquidity.
If price trades above ORG EQ → favor longs into highs/liquidity pools.
Execution Framework:
Wait for liquidity raids or market structure shifts at ORG edges (.00, .25, .50, .75).
Target: EQ, opposite quarter, or full gap fill.
Precision Reads:
ORG lines let traders anticipate where algorithms are likely to respond, providing mechanical invalidation and clear targets without clutter.
Smart Money Concept v1Smart Money Concept Indicator – Visual Interpretation Guide
What Happens When Liquidity Lines Are Broken
🟩 Green Line Broken (Buy-Side Liquidity Pool Swept)
- Indicates price has dipped below a previous swing low where sell stops are likely placed.
- Market Makers may be triggering these stops to accumulate long positions.
- Often followed by a bullish reversal.
- Trader Actions:
• Look for a bullish candle close after the sweep.
• Confirm with nearby Bullish Order Block or Fair Value Gap.
• Consider entering a Buy trade (SLH entry).
- If price continues falling: Indicates trend continuation and invalidation of the buy-side liquidity zone.
🟥 Red Line Broken (Sell-Side Liquidity Pool Swept)
- Indicates price has moved above a previous swing high where buy stops are likely placed.
- Market Makers may be triggering these stops to accumulate short positions.
- Often followed by a bearish reversal.
- Trader Actions:
• Look for a bearish candle close after the sweep.
• Confirm with nearby Bearish Order Block or Fair Value Gap.
• Consider entering a Sell trade (SLH entry).
- If price continues rising: Indicates trend continuation and invalidation of the sell-side liquidity zone.
Chart-Based Interpretation of Green Line Breaks
In the provided DOGE/USD 15-minute chart image:
- Green lines represent buy-side liquidity zones.
- If these lines are broken:
• It may be a stop hunt before a bullish continuation.
• Or a false Break of Structure (BOS) leading to deeper retracement.
- Confirmation is needed from candle structure and nearby OB/FVG zones.
Is the Pink Zone a Valid Bullish Order Block?
To validate the pink zone as a Bullish OB:
- It should be formed by a strong down-close candle followed by a bullish move.
- Price should have rallied from this zone previously.
- If price is now retesting it and showing bullish reaction, it confirms validity.
- If formed during low volume or price never rallied from it, it may not be valid.
Smart Money Concept - Liquidity Line Breaks Explained
This document explains how traders should interpret the breaking of green (buy-side) and red (sell-side) liquidity lines when using the Smart Money Concept indicator. These lines represent key liquidity pools where stop orders are likely placed.
🟩 Green Line Broken (Buy-Side Liquidity Pool Swept)
When the green line is broken, it indicates:
• - Price has dipped below a previous swing low where sell stops were likely placed.
• - Market Makers have triggered those stops to accumulate long positions.
• - This is often followed by a bullish reversal.
Trader Actions:
• - Look for a bullish candle close after the sweep.
• - Confirm with a nearby Bullish Order Block or Fair Value Gap.
• - Consider entering a Buy trade (SLH entry).
🟥 Red Line Broken (Sell-Side Liquidity Pool Swept)
When the red line is broken, it indicates:
• - Price has moved above a previous swing high where buy stops were likely placed.
• - Market Makers have triggered those stops to accumulate short positions.
• - This is often followed by a bearish reversal.
Trader Actions:
• - Look for a bearish candle close after the sweep.
• - Confirm with a nearby Bearish Order Block or Fair Value Gap.
• - Consider entering a Sell trade (SLH entry).
📌 Additional Notes
• - If price continues beyond the liquidity line without reversal, it may indicate a trend continuation rather than a stop hunt.
• - Always confirm with Higher Time Frame bias, Institutional Order Flow, and price reaction at the zone.

RXTrend█ OVERVIEW
The "RXTrend" indicator is a technical analysis tool based on a unique approach to trend identification using RSI values from overbought and oversold zones. Designed for traders seeking a precise tool to identify key market levels and trend direction, the indicator offers flexible settings, dynamic trend lines, candlestick coloring, and buy/sell signals, supported by alerts for key events.
█ CONCEPTS
"RXTrend" leverages the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold zones, which are often significant areas on the chart due to potentially higher volume, increased volatility, or acting as pivot points. To address this, I created an indicator that uses RSI values from these zones, mapping them to price levels to determine the trend. Additionally, for a clearer market picture, boxes are added to highlight overbought and oversold zones on the chart, and candlestick coloring is based on the direction of the RSI moving average. This provides further confirmation of the trend direction and identifies potential correction or reversal points. The indicator is universal and works across all markets (stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies) and timeframes.
█ FEATURES
- RSI Calculation: Calculates RSI based on the closing price over a specified period, with a default length of 14.
- Trend Line: A smoothed trend line based on mapping RSI values from overbought (for downtrends) or oversold (for uptrends) zones to price levels. RSI values are transformed into prices using the price range from a selected period (default: 50 bars) and then smoothed to form the trend line. The line changes color based on the trend direction (blue for uptrend, orange for downtrend).
- Candlestick Coloring: Option to color candles based on the direction of the RSI moving average (RSI MA). Candle colors align with the trend and box colors (blue for uptrend, orange for downtrend, gray for neutral).
- Overbought and Oversold Zones: Identifies overbought (RSI > OB) and oversold (RSI < OS) levels, drawing dynamic boxes on the price chart to reflect these zones. Boxes update in real-time, adjusting to new highs and lows.
- Buy and Sell Signals: Generates buy signals (blue "Buy" labels) when the price crosses above the smoothed oversold line and sell signals (orange "Sell" labels) when the price crosses below the smoothed overbought line.
- Shadow Fill: Option to fill the space between the trend line and price (HL2) with adjustable transparency, aiding visual trend assessment.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for:
- Buy and sell signals.
- Appearance of new overbought/oversold boxes.
- RSI MA direction change (candle color change to uptrend or downtrend).
Customization: Allows adjustment of RSI length, overbought/oversold levels, smoothing period, colors, box and label transparency, and the option to keep boxes after RSI returns to normal.
█ HOW TO USE

Interpreting Signals:
- Trend Line: Shows market direction (blue for uptrend, orange for downtrend).
- Buy Signals: Blue "Buy" label appears when the price crosses above the smoothed oversold line, signaling a potential uptrend.
- Sell Signals: Orange "Sell" label appears when the price crosses below the smoothed overbought line, signaling a potential downtrend.
- Overbought/Oversold Boxes: Orange boxes indicate overbought zones (RSI > OB), blue boxes indicate oversold zones (RSI < OS). Boxes expand dynamically in real-time.
- Candlestick Coloring: Candle colors align with the trend and box colors, reflecting RSI MA direction.
- Alerts: Set up alerts in TradingView for buy/sell signals, new overbought/oversold boxes, or RSI MA direction changes.
- Combining with Other Tools: Use the indicator alongside support/resistance levels, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), or other indicators to confirm signals.
█ APPLICATIONS
The "RXTrend" indicator is designed to identify key market zones and trend direction, making it useful for trend-following and reversal strategies. It enables:
- Trend Confirmation: Candlestick coloring and the trend line help assess the dominant market direction, supporting entry or exit decisions. The trend line can act as a significant support/resistance level, and a price bounce from it may provide a good entry point, especially when confirmed by Fibonacci levels. Additionally, the appearance of overbought/oversold boxes combined with a change in candle color (RSI MA direction) may indicate an impending correction. This allows analysis of potential market overextension and correction endings, enabling multiple entries within a trend.
- Overbought and Oversold Zone Identification: Boxes highlight potential reversal or correction points, especially when combined with support/resistance levels or FVG.
- Signal-Based Strategies: Buy and sell signals can be used as entry points in a trend or as warnings of potential reversals.
█ NOTES
- The indicator is universal and works across all markets and timeframes due to its RSI-based and price-mapping logic.
- Adjust settings (e.g., RSI length, OB/OS levels, smoothing) to suit your trading style and timeframe.
- Use in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to enhance signal accuracy.
GCK CRT MODEL Purpose
Multi-timeframe execution toolkit that overlays HTF candle structure on any lower timeframe and automatically marks CRT (Counter-Reaction Tag) only when a lower-timeframe CISD occurs. It draws a short line from the exact liquidity wick/body to the break/rejection bar—never a long extended line. Includes bold C2 / C3 / C4 labels for clarity.
What it shows
HTF candles (bodies, wicks, start lines, timer, labels) on your LTF chart
CISD → CRT: prints only when an LTF CISD triggers; line is anchored to the liquidity candle and ends at the break bar
Midpoint (log-based) lines, sweep markers, FVG & VI zones (optional)
T-Spot & Silver T-Spot logic (bias-aware), with confirmation and optional projections
Compact info table (current TF → HTF model, time remaining, bias)
Optional position sizing readout for the most recent confirmed sweep
Key options
HTF Mode: Auto or Custom (e.g., 1D, 1W)
Use Body for Confirmation: choose body extremes vs wick for CISD/CRT anchoring
Show Only Latest: keep the most recent T-Spot/CRT clean on chart
Projections & CISD lines: on/off + levels
Label Size: C2/C3/C4 printed larger by default for visibility
How to use
Add to your lower timeframe chart.
Pick HTF (Auto is fine).
Choose whether CRT/CISD checks use wick or body (toggle).
(Optional) Enable projections/alerts/position sizing.
Notes
CRT only prints inside the current HTF phase when an LTF CISD happens.
Lines are intentionally short (liquidity candle → rejection bar).

VWAP + Range Breakout (Pre-Signal for Manual Entry)WHAT IT DOES
This tool highlights potential breakout opportunities when price sweeps the previous day’s high or low and aligns with VWAP and short-term range levels. It provides both pre-signals (early warnings) and confirmed signals (breakout closed) so traders can prepare before momentum accelerates.
Works on all timeframes and across markets (indices, forex, crypto). Especially useful during active London and New York sessions.
---
KEY FEATURES
Daily sweep logic: previous day high/low as liquidity reference
VWAP with cumulative calculation
Adjustable range breakout levels
Optional SMA trend filter
Session filter (London / NY trading hours)
Pre-Signal markers (early alert before breakout)
Confirmed LONG/SHORT signals after breakout close
Alerts for Pre-Long, Pre-Short, and Confirmed entries
---
HOW TO USE
1. Wait for price to sweep the previous day high/low.
2. Look for alignment with VWAP and the defined range breakout levels.
3. Use trend/session filters for higher accuracy.
4. Combine with your own risk management rules.
---
SETTINGS TIPS
Adjust range lookback for different timeframes (shorter for fast intraday, longer for higher timeframes).
Enable/disable session filters depending on your market.
Use SMA trend filter to stay aligned with higher-timeframe bias.
---
WHO IT’S FOR
Scalpers, intraday, and swing traders who want early signals when liquidity is taken and price is preparing for a breakout.

unFair Value Gap Detector [theUltimator5]The unFair Value Gap Detector (uFVG) highlights imbalance zones that form when trend strength is weak but directional pressure spikes—a condition often followed by price reversion back into that level. Unlike the classic 3-candle ICT FVG, this tool is designed to help you have an unFair edge in gap retracement detection by plotting high probability gap reversion opportunities on the current timeframe and the next FIVE (yes five) higher timeframes.
What you’ll see:
Gap line per event: A single, no-nonsense line at the level price most often returns to.
Auto multi-timeframe view: uFVG ladders up through five higher timeframes and shows their levels too—each with its own color.
Smart de-clutter: Near-duplicate lines across timeframes are filtered so your chart stays readable.
Note: This indicator is intentionally minimalistic visually to minimize chart clutter, while still being an extremely powerful tool
Optional visuals:
Light background tint during quiet, coiling conditions.
Soft fill from price to the active line for quick context.
Compact labels that note the price and which timeframe printed it.
Why it is unique and effective (the “unfair” edge):
Early, practical context: Spots levels near when the imbalance forms—useful before the crowd catches on.
Clarity over noise: One line per event. No boxes, no sprawling zones, fewer “maybe” areas.
Timeframe confluence: When multiple timeframes cluster around the same price, you’ve got a stronger focal point.
Simple risk framing: If price slices through the line decisively, that idea’s done. Next.
How to use it:
Mean-reversion play: Look for price to tag the line, take profits into it, or fade a first reaction.
Continuation play: After the line is “mitigated,” reassess in the original direction.
Prioritize by timeframe: Higher-timeframe lines tend to carry more weight.
Respect clusters: Multiple lines stacked near one price often mark important pivots.
Customization
Colors: Separate colors for current and higher-timeframe lines.
Toggles: Turn on/off background highlights, line-to-price fill, and labels.
Minimal fuss: The rest is auto—timeframes, line lifecycle, and de-duplication are handled for you.
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman) is an oscillator highlighting inefficient price displacements under low participation. It measures the most recent price move (standardized return) and amplifies it only when volume is below its own trend.
Positive readings ⇒ strong up-move on low volume → potential Buy-Side Imbalance (void below) that often refills.
Negative readings ⇒ strong down-move on low volume → potential Sell-Side Imbalance (void above) that often refills.
This tool provides a quantitative “void” proxy: when price travels far with unusually thin volume, the move is flagged as likely inefficient and prone to mean-reversion/mitigation.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Shock (Participation Filter)
Each bar, volume is compared to a rolling baseline. This is then z-scored.
// Volume Shock calculation
volTrend = ta.sma(volume, L)
vs = (volume > 0 and volTrend > 0) ? math.log(volume) - math.log(volTrend) : na
vsZ = zScore(vs, vzLen) // z-scored volume shock
lowVS = (vsZ <= vzThr) // low-volume condition
Bars with VolShock Z ≤ threshold are treated as low-volume (thin).
⚪ Prior Return Extremeness
The 1-bar log return is computed and z-scored.
// Prior return extremeness
r1 = math.log(close / close )
retZ = zScore(r1, rLen) // z-scored prior return
This shows whether the latest move is unusually large relative to recent history.
⚪ Void Oscillator
The oscillator is:
// Oscillator construction
weight = lowVS ? 1.0 : fadeNoLow
osc = retZ * weight
where Weight = 1 when volume is low, otherwise fades toward a user-set factor (0–1).
Osc > 0: up-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Buy-Side Imbalance.
Osc < 0: down-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Sell-Side Imbalance.
█ Why Use It
⚪ Targets Inefficient Moves
By filtering for low participation, the oscillator focuses on moves most likely driven by thin books/noise trading, which are statistically more likely to retrace.
⚪ Simple, Robust Logic
No need for tick data or order-book depth. It derives a practical void proxy from OHLCV, making it portable across assets and timeframes.
⚪ Complements Price-Action Tools
Use alongside FVG/imbalance zones, key levels, and volume profile to prioritize voids that carry the highest reversal probability.
█ How to Use
Sell-Side Imbalance = aggressive sell move (price goes down on low volume) → expect price to move up to fill it.
Buy-Side Imbalance = aggressive buy move (price goes up on low volume) → expect price to move down to fill it.
█ Settings
Volume Baseline Length — Bars for the volume trend used in VolShock. Larger = smoother baseline, fewer low-volume flags.
Vol Shock Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize VolShock; larger = smoother, fewer extremes.
Low-Volume Threshold (VolShock Z ≤) — Defines “thin participation.” Typical: −0.5 to −1.0.
Return Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize the 1-bar log return; larger = smoother “extremeness” measure.
Fade When Volume Not Low (0–1) — Weight applied when volume is not low. 0.00 = ignore non-low-volume bars entirely. 1.00 = treat volume condition as irrelevant (pure return extremeness).
Upper Threshold (Osc ≥) — Trigger for Sell-Side Imbalance (void below).
Lower Threshold (Osc ≤) — Trigger for Buy-Side Imbalance (void above).

ICT 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 & 13:30 Opens (NY) — Prior-Day HistoryICT 00:00, 08:30, 09:30 & 13:30 Opens (NY)
This is a derivative of ALPHAICTRADER’s open-source script, republished under the MPL-2.0 with clear attribution and documented changes. It plots four New-York–anchored intraday reference levels—0000, 0830, 0930, 1330—as short, right-padded stubs with clean side labels. Use these time anchors (ICT-style midnight + key US windows) to frame bias, volatility pockets, and intraday trade locations.
What’s original in this version (changes)
Right-padded stubs instead of chart-wide rays — each level ends N bars past the latest candle (configurable).
Side labels at the line tip — text-only labels (0000, 0830, 0930, 1330) that sit at the right end of each stub and update every bar.
Optional prior-day history — show Today only or Today + Prior Day; older lines/labels auto-pruned.
Per-anchor controls — Display, Style, Color, Width, and Show Label for each time.
What it plots (and why)
0000 (NY Midnight): daily session anchor for bias/liquidity context.
0830 (NY): macro data window (CPI/NFP/claims) where volatility often concentrates.
0930 (NY): US cash equity market open; opening-drive structure/acceptance tests.
1330 (NY): early-afternoon anchor for continuation vs. fade.
How it works (under the hood)
Session detection: time("1", session, "America/New_York"); first bar flagged via not na(ts) and na(ts ).
Anchor price: open of that first bar per session/day.
Rendering: lines drawn with xloc=bar_index from start bar to bar_index + Right Pad; x2 updates every bar (no extend.right).
Labels: placed at line.get_x2(line) + Label Pad, soft color variant; updated per bar to stay on the tip.
History: arrays keep either today only or today + yesterday and delete anything older immediately.
How to use
Add to any intraday chart (futures/FX/indices). Anchors are always NY-time; TradingView handles DST.
Inputs
00:00 / 08:30 / 09:30 / 13:30 (NY): Display, Line Style, Color, Width, Show Label
Right Edge: Right Pad (bars) · Label Pad (bars)
History: Show Prior Day (History) — off = today only; on = today + yesterday
Suggested pads: Right Pad 2–5 bars; Label Pad 0–2.
These are context anchors, not signals. Combine with your execution model (market structure, liquidity, FVG/OBs, etc.).
