Smart Money Toolkit - PD Engine Bias Map [KedArc Quant]Description
Smart Money is an advanced multi-layer Smart Money Concepts framework that automatically detects structure shifts, premium-discount zones, and institutional order flow.
It is built around the PD Engine, which calculates the midpoint of the most recent market swing and dynamically determines BUY or SELL bias based on where current price trades relative to that equilibrium. This toolkit visualizes structure, order blocks, and bias context in one clean map, giving traders an institutional-grade view without unnecessary signal clutter.
Why It Is Unique
- All CHoCH, BOS, Order Block, FVG, and PD logic are coded from scratch.
- Uses true equilibrium (50 percent PD midpoint) for dynamic bias.
- Optimized for stability and non-repainting behavior.
- Designed for clarity with minimal, performance-safe visuals.
Entry and Exit Logic (Discretionary Framework)
- This toolkit is not a signal generator. It provides market context that guides discretionary trading.
BUY Bias (Discount Zone)
- Price trades below PD Mid: the market is in discount.
- Wait for a bullish CHoCH or reaction from a demand OB or FVG before buying.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
SELL Bias (Premium Zone)
- Price trades above PD Mid: the market is in premium.
- Wait for a bearish CHoCH or reaction from a supply OB or FVG before shorting.
- Target 1 = PD Mid. Target 2 = next opposite OB or FVG.
Institutional concept sequence: Bias → Structure Shift → Confirmation → Execution.
Input Configuration
Swing Sensitivity - Determines how far back to identify HH and LL pivots.
OB / FVG Detection - Toggles visual Order Block or Fair Value Gap zones.
PD Engine - Shows PD midpoint line, zone shading, and bias table.
Multi-TF Bias Sync - Optionally reads a higher timeframe bias for confirmation.
Color Themes - Switch between light, dark, or institutional palettes.
Formula / Logic Summary
Concept Formula
PD Mid (Equilibrium) (Recent Swing High + Recent Swing Low) / 2
BUY Bias close < PD Mid
SELL Bias close > PD Mid
CHoCH / BOS Pivot-based structure reversal: HH→LL or LL→HH
Order Block Last bullish or bearish candle before displacement.
FVG Gap between prior candle high/low and next candle range.
These formulas follow the structure used in institutional Smart Money Concepts.
How It Helps Traders
- Shows institutional premium and discount zones visually.
- Defines clear directional bias before entry.
- Combines structure, order blocks, FVG, and equilibrium in one layout.
- Works on any timeframe or asset.
- Prevents emotional trades by giving objective bias context.
Glossary

BPR (Ballanced price range) DetectorHow This BPR Detector Works
This indicator is designed to detect and visualize balanced price ranges (BPRs) on price charts. The indicator has two main components:
Regular FVG Detection - The indicator first detects regular Fair Value Gaps in price action, which are spaces where price has moved quickly leaving a gap. This is necessary because BPRs are derived from regular FVGs.
BPR Detection - When the price action inverts and moves through a regular FVG in the opposite direction, the indicator identifies this as a BPR. This concept is important in Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology as it can signal potential changes in trend direction. Additionally the detection logic is refined by incorporating displacement.
The main functionality preserved includes:
Detection of regular FVGs (required to find BPRs)
Conversion of regular FVGs to BPRs when price moves through them creating a FVG in the opposite direction
Visual display of both FVG and BPR zones
Mitigation tracking for both types of imbalances
Displacement visualization that helps identify energetic price moves
Key Settings
FVG Settings - Control the appearance and behaviour of regular Fair Value Gaps
BPR Settings - Control the appearance of Breaker Price Ranges (which have different colours by default)
Mitigation Settings - Define how the indicator determines when an imbalance has been filled
Displacement Settings - Optional highlighting of energetic price moves that may lead to imbalances

Consolidation Tracker🧭 Consolidation Tracker — Visualize Market Reversals in Real Time
The Consolidation Tracker is a minimalist yet powerful tool designed to map the anatomy of market reversals and trend transitions. It highlights the structural evolution of price through four key phases, helping traders anticipate shifts with clarity and confidence.
🔄 The Four Stages of a Market Reversal:
Failure to Displace — Price fails to break beyond recent highs or lows, signaling potential exhaustion of the current trend.
Consolidation (CAMP) — A range-bound phase where price compresses between a dynamic high and low. These zones are shaded gray, representing indecision and balance.
Engulfing (ENGULF) — A decisive candle closes beyond the CAMP high or low, suggesting a directional shift. These are highlighted in orange.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) — A three-candle pattern forms a price imbalance. If this FVG also engulfs the CAMP range, it confirms the reversal and resets the CAMP. Bullish FVGs are shaded green, bearish FVGs in red.
🔁 From Reversal to Trend:
Once a reversal is confirmed via an FVG, the market often transitions into a trend cycle characterized by:
Displacement — Strong directional movement away from the prior range.
Fair Value Gaps — Continuation imbalances that offer high-probability entries on retracements.
🧠 How It Works:
The indicator dynamically tracks CAMP highs and lows, updating only when a candle engulfs the range or a valid FVG forms.
FVGs are detected when a three-candle sequence creates a gap between candle 2 and 0, and the middle candle (candle 1) breaks the CAMP boundary.
CAMP levels are plotted as horizontal lines, while background colors narrate the evolving structure in real time.
This tool is ideal for traders who value market structure, price efficiency, and narrative clarity. Whether you're anticipating reversals or riding trends, the Consolidation Tracker offers a clean, actionable lens into price behavior.
IFVG [#]ICT Concepts by shulktrades
Beginner Concept
IFVG — Inverse Fair Value Gap
Description:
The IFVG indicator identifies and displays Inverse Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) — price imbalances that have been traded through and closed, representing a complete rebalancing of a prior Fair Value Gap (FVG).
It is designed for traders studying ICT-based market structure and algorithmic delivery concepts, offering a consistent, precise way to visualize these “flipped” gaps directly on their charts.
This indicator does not generate trading signals, alerts, or entries. It serves as a visual confluence and analytical tool, helping traders recognize when a fair value gap has been invalidated and transformed into an IFVG.
How It Works (Conceptually)
Gap Detection
The script tracks consecutive candle structures to identify FVGs — three-candle formations where a price void exists between the first and third candles.
Inverse Confirmation
When price fully closes through a detected FVG (meaning both gap boundaries have been traded and settled), the imbalance is flagged as neutralized, and the script converts it into an Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG).
Box Drawing Logic
Each IFVG is displayed as a visual box drawn from the displacement range of the candle that confirmed the closure.
Boxes extend either to the current bar or a user-defined candle limit, providing flexibility for how long historical IFVGs remain visible.
This ensures chart clarity while maintaining accurate visual context of algorithmic rebalancing.
Unique Implementation Features
The IFVG indicator differs from typical open-source FVG tools through its structural logic and visualization method:
Higher-Timeframe Candle Tracking
It can reference higher-timeframe (HTF) candle data to display IFVGs originating from larger structures (for example, showing H1 or H4 inverse gaps on a lower timeframe).
This alignment with HTF context gives traders a broader view of algorithmic delivery behavior.
Specific Timeframe Tracking (Future Integration)
The underlying framework supports selectable timeframe inputs for future updates, allowing users to define which candle data to track for IFVG formation — ensuring full adaptability across multiple timeframe models.
Dynamic End Conditions
Unlike static or persistent zone indicators, each IFVG box can end at the current time or after a custom candle limit.
This avoids overcrowding the chart while maintaining accurate historical context.
Accurate Visual Rendering
The drawing logic ensures that every IFVG box is aligned precisely to candle bodies and wicks, scaling correctly across all chart resolutions.
This eliminates overlap, offset, or visual drift common in generic FVG/IFVG implementations.
How to Use It
Apply the indicator to visualize confirmed Inverse Fair Value Gaps on your chart.
Use the highlighted zones as contextual confluence, not entry triggers.
Adjust settings for box duration and visibility according to your preferred analysis depth.
Integrate with other ICT-based concepts such as liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and displacement analysis for deeper structural insight.
Originality and Purpose
The IFVG indicator is original in its:
Strict focus on confirmed, traded-through FVGs only.
Use of HTF candle tracking for broader algorithmic context.
Dynamic end-of-zone control, determined by user preference or real-time progression.
Accurate visual construction of zones directly tied to candle confirmation logic.
These design choices make it distinct from generic FVG/IFVG indicators and justify its closed-source status, as its logic, rendering precision, and adaptive framework go beyond simple stylistic replication of public scripts.
Important Notes
For educational and analytical use only.
Does not issue alerts, entries, or trade recommendations.
Best suited for traders familiar with ICT delivery and structure concepts.
Always apply personal risk management and confirm bias independently.
Binary Options 1 Minute Signals [TradingFinder] 1 Min Strategy🔵 Introduction
At first sight, price movement in binary options appears random, but behind every move lies a clear logic of liquidity and market imbalance. The market is always driven by the hunt for liquidity and the continuous rebalancing that takes place around Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). These zones are where institutional activity is concentrated and where Smart Money creates the most significant reactions.
When price approaches a key liquidity zone, it often performs a Liquidity Sweep to capture orders resting around previous highs or lows. This move usually presents itself as a False Breakout. Price briefly breaks a level to trigger stop losses and collect liquidity, then quickly reverses direction. Understanding this false breakout behavior is essential for identifying high probability reversals in binary options trading.
After the liquidity sweep, price typically retraces into a Fair Value Gap or Order Block, where the market seeks balance and new orders are introduced. This interaction between liquidity, imbalance, and institutional order flow forms the core logic of every Smart Money trading model.
By focusing on Liquidity Sweeps, False Breakouts, and the structure of FVGs and OBs, traders can read the true intention behind price movements. What seems like random volatility becomes a structured cycle of liquidity collection and reaction, offering clear opportunities for precision-based binary entries.

🔵 How to Use
This indicator works within the Smart Money framework and focuses on the connection between Liquidity Sweep, False Breakout, Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB).
It is created to help traders identify the moment when the market finishes collecting liquidity and begins to show signs of reversal.
The indicator studies how price behaves around zones where liquidity is concentrated, such as previous highs and lows or areas with visible inefficiency. When a clear reaction forms and a valid candle pattern confirms the shift in direction, the indicator generates a signal that represents the activity of Smart Money.
This tool does not respond to random volatility or noise. It waits for structure, liquidity and confirmation to align together before providing an entry. As a result, every signal has a logical base related to institutional order flow rather than ordinary price fluctuations. This approach allows traders to focus only on the movements that reflect true liquidity behavior.
🟣 Long Setup
A bullish setup takes place when the market moves downward and reaches a sell-side liquidity zone located below previous swing lows. In this area, price performs a Liquidity Sweep by moving under key levels to trigger stop losses and capture liquidity from trapped sellers.
This movement usually appears as a False Breakout because the market breaks below a level for a short moment and then quickly moves back inside the range.
Around this zone, a bullish Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG) often exists, showing where institutional demand is active.
When the indicator detects the presence of liquidity collection together with a valid bullish confirmation candle near an OB or FVG, it creates a Call signal.
This marks the moment when Smart Money is shifting from selling pressure to accumulation, and a strong bullish move often follows. For binary entries, the best opportunity usually comes immediately after the confirmation candle closes.
The reaction tends to happen quickly because the liquidity grab has completed and new institutional buying pressure is entering the market. This type of setup often provides a clean and precise entry with a high probability of success.
🟣 Short Setup
A bearish setup happens when the market rises and enters a buy-side liquidity area above previous highs. Here, the market performs a Liquidity Sweep to trigger stop losses placed above those highs and to absorb liquidity from trapped buyers.
This pattern forms what traders recognize as a False Breakout because the price only breaks the level temporarily before reversing in the opposite direction. A bearish Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG) often appears around this zone, showing where institutional selling interest exists.
Once the liquidity sweep completes and a bearish confirmation candle closes, the indicator produces a Put signal that reflects the shift from buying to selling pressure by Smart Money.
This moment often leads to a fast downward reaction as the market rebalances and fills the nearby inefficiency.
The most effective entry for binary trading is right after the confirmation candle closes, when the false breakout and liquidity collection are both completed. The price usually reacts sharply as the market transitions from liquidity hunting to a new directional move. This setup represents a structured view of how liquidity drives market cycles and how Smart Money creates precise reversals through controlled imbalance and reaction.
🔵 Settings
Time Frame : Defines the timeframe used for analysis. If left blank, the indicator automatically uses the chart’s current timeframe.
Swing Period : Determines how many candles are used to identify structural turning points such as swing highs and swing lows. Higher values increase accuracy but reduce the number of signals.
Signal Type : Specifies the type of signal generated by the indicator. The option All shows every signal, Main Signal displays only the primary one, and Alternative Signal produces a secondary signal that appears one candle after the main signal for additional confirmation.
Candle Pattern : Enables candle pattern logic for reversal confirmation. When active, the indicator issues a signal only when a valid candle formation confirms the market reaction.
Candle LookBack Check : Verifies that the last few candles move in the opposite direction of the signal to be generated. This condition acts as a confirmation filter, ensuring that the signal appears only after a clear counter-move in price.
Last Candle Direction : Considers the direction of the most recent candle in the analysis. It helps determine whether the final candle moves with or against the current trend.
Last Candle Shadow Ratio : Sets the ratio between the last candle’s wick and body to refine confirmation accuracy. Higher values require longer wicks, indicating stronger rejection and a more reliable reversal pattern.
🔵 Conclusion
Trading with Smart Money logic means understanding how liquidity moves through the market.
Each Liquidity Sweep, False Breakout, Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB) reflects the process of collecting and redistributing orders.
This indicator captures that sequence and turns it into precise, structured signals for binary entries. When liquidity is absorbed and a candle confirmation appears, the market reveals its true direction.
At that moment, traders can act with confidence, following institutional flow instead of reacting to random price moves.
Success with this system comes from patience, confirmation, and a clear reading of liquidity behavior, the core principles behind every Smart Money reversal.

Smart Risk - Three Institutional Models📘 Smart Risk – Three Institutional Entry Models
A precision-engineered institutional framework that blends liquidity, structure, and multi-time-frame confirmation.
🧠 Concept Overview
The Smart Risk indicator models how institutional traders and algorithms engineer entries around liquidity, imbalance, and structural shifts .
It unifies t hree distinct institutional entry models —each built around core Smart Money Concepts (SMC)—and enhances them with a Multi-Time-Frame Confluence (MTF) engine for directional alignment.
This tool doesn’t simply merge indicators.
It connects l iquidity sweeps, order-block reactions, breaker validation, and fair-value-gap mitigation into one cohesive trading logic—filtering every setup through trend, structure, and volume confirmation.
⚙️ How It Works
Setup #1 – Liquidity Sweep + Order Block Revisit + FVG Mitigation
Identifies engineered stop-hunts where price sweeps external liquidity and returns to a prior Order Block or Fair Value Gap (FVG).
Signals reversal-style entries with high probability of mean-reversion or mitigation.
Setup #2 – Supply/Demand + Mitigation / Breaker / FVG Continuation
Captures continuation trades inside trending structure.
When trend bias (via moving-average context) aligns with breaker or mitigation blocks, signals confirm institutional continuation sequences.
Setup #3 – Sweep + Classic FVG Reaction
Tracks clean displacement gaps following a liquidity sweep—ideal for scalpers and intraday reversals where imbalances act as magnets for price.
Each setup can be independently enabled or disabled from the panel.
A built-in signal-cooldown prevents repetitive triggers on the same leg.
🕒 Multi-Time-Frame Confluence
The new MTF module aligns lower-time-frame precision entries with higher-time-frame market structure.
When enabled, each setup only validates if the HTF trend confirms the same directional bias as the LTF pattern—e.g. a 5-minute bullish FVG signal requires a bullish 1-hour structure.
This ensures institutional logic respects global liquidity flow and avoids counter-trend traps.
MTF Controls:
• ✅ Enable MTF Confluence toggle
• ⏱️ Lower Time-Frame (LTF) selector (default 5 min)
• ⏱️ Higher Time-Frame (HTF) selector (default 1 hour)
• 🔄 Automatic SMA-based HTF trend detection
🎨 Visualization & Dashboard
• Order Block / Supply–Demand Zones — highlight institutional footprints
• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — reveal displacement inefficiencies
• Liquidity Sweeps (X / $) — mark engineered stops
• BOS & CHoCH — confirm structure continuation or reversal
• Compact Dashboard — live “Armed” state for each setup and MTF bias
Color-coded background cues emphasize active trade phases without clutter.
🧩 Core Algorithm Highlights
• Dynamic swing and pivot structure detection
• Breaker / Mitigation / Volume confirmation filters
• Fair-Value-Gap logic with directional alignment
• Cooldown control for signal throttling
• Multi-Time-Frame bias filter for contextual precision

FVGC - SignalsFVGC — Signals (by Capital Complex)
Part of the FVGC Suite.
Purpose-built for Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ/MNQ), this companion to “FVGC — Visual Overlay” turns the overlay’s structure into tightly-gated entry signals—focusing on the first qualified engulf after a valid FVG tap inside your trading windows. The rules and defaults have been shaped by years of systematic backtesting (no performance claims).
## What it does
FVGC — Signals listens for a specific sequence and only then prints a trade signal:
* Retrace→ Tap→ Engulf: The ultimate continuation model, FVGC by Capital Complex.
* Opposing-FVG safety: As per the FVGC model by Capital Complex, optimal setups avoid opposing restrictions such as opposing FVGs, this is all coded into your entries.
* Distance-aware engulf: Engulfing candle restrictions based on data backed optimizations, timeframe and volatility aware.
* Fail-to-Close integrity: Require minimal interaction with rejection FVG.
* Structured drawings: TP/SL/BE are optimally sized on setup conditions, with point distances labelled for quick assessment.
Everything updates in real-time and only prints after the full sequence is satisfied, so you see one clean, first-engulf signal per opportunity (or one-and-done per gap if you choose).
## Why traders use it
* Clarity at the moment of commitment: Signals only fire after strict models are met.
* Designed for NQ: Defaults reflect NY RTH behavior and typical NQ volatility patterns.
* Noise control: Auto distance caps and fail-to-close filters help avoid low-quality chases.
* Pairs perfectly with Overlay: Use Visual Overlay for context (sessions, HTF FVG lines, news footprints) and Signals for the entry trigger.
## Key features & options
* Timezone-aware sessions: Three trading windows.
Models:
* FVGC with BOS.
* FVGC with IFVG.
Filters:
* Engulf distance cap (auto optimized for 30s/1m/2m) with volatility overide.
* Opp-FVG 50% override (allow inside if close passes the opposing gap’s midpoint).
* Fail-to-Close(inside and/or past midpoint).
* Trade management visuals: Optimal TP/SL/BE lines and right-side points labels.
* Entry limits: Allow multiple entries per same FVG or **one-and-done**.
* Day “intensity” shading: Grades the 09:30–09:35 points range to hint at expected intraday pace during 09:30–11:30.
## How to use
1. Load FVGC — Signals on 30 sec.
2. Set your Timezone and enable the Trading Window(s) you use (default 09:30–11:30 NY).
3. Choose Models (BOS / IFVG) and enable Filters (distance cap, open override, Opp-FVG 50%, Fail-to-Close) as desired.
4. (Optional) Toggle TP/SL/BE drawings and “wait for close” for conservative rendering.
5. Use alongside FVGC — Visual Overlay so the structural context and the entry triggers remain in sync.
## Notes
* Signals are calculated without lookahead; non-standard chart types are not supported for signal generation.
* This is an entry-signals and visualization tool, not an execution strategy. Risk sizing, commissions, slippage, and order handling remain the user’s responsibility.
* Years of backtesting informed defaults and guardrails; past results do not guarantee future performance.

ICT Institutional Order Flow (Riz)This indicator implements Inner Circle Trader (ICT) institutional order flow concepts to identify high-probability entry points where smart money is actively participating in the market. It combines volume analysis, market structure, and price action patterns to detect institutional accumulation and distribution zones.
Core Concepts & Methodology
1. Institutional Order Blocks Detection
Order blocks represent the last opposing candle before a strong directional move, indicating institutional accumulation (bullish) or distribution (bearish) zones.
How it works:
⦁ Identifies the final bearish candle before bullish expansion (accumulation)
⦁ Identifies the final bullish candle before bearish expansion (distribution)
⦁ Validates with volume spike (2x average) to confirm institutional participation
⦁ Requires minimum 0.5% price displacement to filter weak moves
⦁ Tracks these zones as future support/resistance levels
2. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Analysis
FVGs are price inefficiencies created by aggressive institutional orders that leave gaps in price action.
Detection method:
⦁ Bullish FVG: When current low > high from 2 bars ago
⦁ Bearish FVG: When current high < low from 2 bars ago
⦁ Minimum gap size filter (0.1% default) eliminates noise
⦁ Monitors gap fills with volume for entry signals
⦁ Gaps act as magnets drawing price back for "rebalancing"
3. Liquidity Hunt Detection
Institutions often trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction, creating liquidity for their positions.
Algorithm:
⦁ Calculates rolling 20-period highs/lows as liquidity pools
⦁ Detects wicks beyond these levels (0.1% sensitivity)
⦁ Identifies rejection back inside range (liquidity grab)
⦁ Volume spike confirmation ensures institutional involvement
⦁ These reversals often mark significant turning points
4. Volume Profile Integration
Analyzes volume distribution across price levels to identify institutional interest zones.
Components:
⦁ Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume (institutional consensus)
⦁ Value Area: 70% of volume range (institutional comfort zone)
⦁ Uses 50-bar lookback to build volume histogram
⦁ 20 price levels for granular distribution analysis
5. Market Structure Analysis
Determines overall trend bias using pivot points and swing analysis.
Process:
⦁ Identifies swing highs/lows using 3-bar pivots
⦁ Bullish structure: Price above last swing high
⦁ Bearish structure: Price below last swing high
⦁ Filters signals to trade with institutional direction
Signal Generation Logic
BUY signals trigger when ANY condition is met:
1. Order Block Formation: Bearish-to-bullish transition + volume spike + strong move
2. Liquidity Grab Reversal: Sweep below lows + recovery + volume spike
3. FVG Fill: Price fills bullish gap with institutional volume (within 3 bars)
4. Order Block Respect: Price bounces from previous bullish OB + volume
SELL signals trigger when ANY condition is met:
1. Order Block Formation: Bullish-to-bearish transition + volume spike + strong move
2. Liquidity Grab Reversal: Sweep above highs + rejection + volume spike
3. FVG Fill: Price fills bearish gap with institutional volume (within 3 bars)
4. Order Block Respect: Price rejects from previous bearish OB + volume
Additional filters:
⦁ Signals align with market structure (no counter-trend trades)
⦁ No new signals while position is active
⦁ All signals require volume confirmation (institutional fingerprint)
Trading Style Auto-Configuration
The indicator features intelligent preset configurations for different trading styles:
Scalping Mode (1-5 min charts):
⦁ Volume multiplier: 1.5x (more signals)

BanShen MACD Ultimate Multi Signal System[SpeculationLab]🧠 How This Script Works (Detailed Logic Breakdown)
This script is a closed-source, fully self-developed modular trading system centered around MACD divergence detection. It also includes auxiliary modules such as:
Vegas Tunnel trend filtering
Dynamic ATR-based stop placement
Engulfing candlestick pattern detection
RSI/OBV divergence modules
Fair Value Gap (FVG) recognition
A smart signal panel that consolidates all signals in real time
These components work together through a signal resonance framework, helping traders identify high-confluence, high-probability entry opportunities.
🔍 Why MACD Divergence Is the Core (Real-World Strategy Basis)
This system is based on a real-world trading strategy I’ve personally used and refined over time.
Through discretionary trading and backtesting, I discovered that divergence between price action and the MACD histogram — especially when certain structural conditions are met — produces a very high win rate.
Key observations include:
MACD peaks/troughs that are clean and well-shaped (defined pivot structure)
Large vertical differences between two MACD histogram extremes
Price making a higher high or lower low, while MACD does the opposite
Two or more divergences appearing consecutively, which creates a powerful reversal signal
These setups have proven extremely reliable in my experience. This script automates the detection of these conditions using strict logic filters.
🔷 1. MACD Divergence Engine (Core Module)
At its core, this script implements a multi-layered MACD divergence detection system, capable of identifying both **regular** and **consecutive** bullish/bearish divergences.
Key components of the logic:
- **Pivot-Based Peak Detection:**
Peaks and troughs in the MACD histogram are located using left/right lookback lengths.
These define valid turning points by requiring the center bar to be the highest (or lowest) compared to its neighbors.
- **Peak Size Thresholding:**
The height of the histogram peaks is compared to the standard deviation of MACD values.
Only peaks above a configurable multiplier (e.g., 0.1× stdev) are considered significant, filtering out noise.
- **Peak Ratio Filtering:**
For divergence to be valid, the size ratio between two histogram peaks must exceed a minimum threshold.
This prevents "flat" divergences with no meaningful MACD movement from triggering false signals.
- **Noise Suppression:**
A customizable threshold filters out weak histogram fluctuations between divergence points.
- **Price Action Confirmation:**
The divergence is only confirmed when the price forms a new high or low (depending on the type), and the MACD forms an opposing structure.
- **Consecutive Divergence Detection:**
For high-conviction setups, the script detects sequences of two or more divergences in the same direction.
These use stricter filters and flag rare but powerful market turning points.
Signals are plotted using plotshape() with visual differentiation between regular and consecutive setups. You can enable/disable each type individually.
⏰ Note: Histogram colors are styled similarly to TradingView’s built-in MACD for visual familiarity. However, this script is built entirely from scratch and does not reuse any internal TV code.
---
🔷 2. Trend Filtering via Vegas Tunnel
The **Vegas Tunnel** module plots 5 configurable EMAs (default: 12, 144, 169, 576, 676) to evaluate trend direction.
The trend is considered **bullish** when short EMAs (144/169) are positioned above long EMAs (576/676), and the price is interacting with the short EMA tunnel.
Conversely, a bearish condition is detected when the opposite is true.
A visual triangle marker highlights trend zones, and users can hide/show individual EMAs.
---
🔷 3. ATR-Based Dynamic Stop Loss
This module plots dynamic stop levels above and below the current price based on ATR.
Default setting uses 13-period ATR, and users can customize the multiplier or disable the plot.
It serves as a visual guide for risk management in live trades.
---
🔷 4. Engulfing Pattern Recognition
Candlestick-based signal detection:
- **Bullish Engulfing** occurs when a candle closes above the prior high, and the prior bar is bearish.
- **Bearish Engulfing** when a candle closes below the prior low, and the prior bar is bullish.
Users can modify the logic to use open/close levels for looser or stricter detection.
These patterns are highlighted using plotshape markers and optionally included in the signal table.
---
🔷 5. RSI and OBV Divergence Modules
These modules follow similar logic to the MACD engine:
- Use pivotlow() / pivothigh() to detect swing points.
- Confirm divergence only when price moves in one direction while RSI or OBV moves in the opposite direction.
- Require a minimum distance (in bars) between the two pivots.
- Require a certain ratio between two indicator values and their corresponding prices.
You can only enable **one of MACD/RSI/OBV divergences at a time** to avoid visual overlap, as they share the same subplot.
---
🔷 6. FVG (Fair Value Gap) Auto Detection
This module detects large single-direction price moves where price leaves a visible gap between candle 3 bars ago and 1 bar ago.
- **Bullish FVG**: high < low
- **Bearish FVG**: low > high
ATR-based filters are applied to eliminate minor gaps.
Each gap is drawn as a box and optionally extended, with a central line marking the midpoint (CE - Consequent Encroachment) level.
Traders often look for price to return to this level as an entry signal.
---
🔷 7. Smart Signal Table
All active signals (MACD, Vegas, RSI, OBV, Engulfing) are collected into a **real-time table** that displays current market bias.
- Each module reports whether it is currently giving a bullish (🟢) or bearish (🔴) condition.
- Helps users assess signal alignment (confluence).
- The table is updated every bar and appears in the bottom-right corner.
---
🔷 8. Watermark & Branding
The watermark displays the script name and author at the top-right, and can be toggled via settings.
📌 Not a Mashup — Structured System, Not a Stack of Indicators
⚠️ This is not a random mashup of unrelated indicators.
Every module in this system was intentionally designed to support the core MACD divergence logic by filtering, validating, or amplifying its signals.
Here's how the system achieves signal confluence and structure:
Vegas Tunnel acts as a macro trend filter, helping users determine whether to favor long or short trades.
For example, bullish MACD divergence is more reliable when confirmed by an uptrend in the Vegas EMAs. This prevents users from trading against momentum.
Engulfing Patterns serve as entry-level price action confirmation.
When a bullish engulfing candle appears near a MACD bullish divergence — and trend conditions from Vegas are aligned — the confluence increases dramatically.
This is especially powerful when multiple modules confirm in the same direction on the right side of the chart.
RSI and OBV Divergence modules offer redundant but independent momentum views.
Users may enable them selectively to validate MACD signals, or to use them as standalone alternatives when MACD is flat or noisy.
FVG Zones provide context for entries or targets.
For instance, a MACD bullish divergence forming near a bullish FVG gap increases the odds of reversal.
Price often "fills" these imbalances, which aligns well with reversal setups.
The Smart Signal Table aggregates signals from all modules and provides a visual, real-time overview of the current market bias.
This allows traders to act only when multiple signals are aligned — for example, when MACD is bullish, trend is up, and a bullish engulfing just printed.
Together, this framework creates a coherent decision-making system, where each tool has a defined role: trend filtering, signal confirmation, risk management, or entry detection.
🧩 It is modular in architecture, but not modular in purpose.
This system was not built by stacking indicators, but by integrating logic across modules to support a high-conviction MACD-based strategy.
🧬 Originality Statement

Fair Value Gap MTF [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap MTF is a multi-timeframe indicator designed to detect and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across up to five customizable timeframes. Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies—zones where the market moved too quickly, leaving unfilled areas between candles. These gaps are often used by traders as reference points for future price retracements, as they tend to be revisited or “mitigated” over time.
This indicator extends the traditional FVG concept by introducing dynamic multi-timeframe tracking. Each timeframe has its own visual layer, with distinct user-defined colors for bullish and bearish gaps. The script not only highlights newly formed FVGs but also updates them visually when they are touched by price. Mitigated FVGs are recolored in real time, and an optional setting allows the size of these zones to shrink progressively, reflecting only the remaining untested portion.
Labels at the center of each box display the originating timeframe, offering clear visual context. All calculations are properly aligned with the display chart, ensuring that each FVG is correctly projected into the current view, regardless of its timeframe of origin.
Fair Value Gaps often act as support or resistance levels. Bullish FVGs can serve as areas where price may find support, while bearish FVGs can signal potential resistance. When these zones are mitigated repeatedly, it typically reflects areas of institutional interest, liquidity pools, or zones of accumulation and distribution. Such behavior makes them particularly significant in breakout and reversal strategies.

Flow State Model [TakingProphets]🧠 Indicator Purpose:
The "Flow State Model" by Taking Prophets is a precision-built trading framework based on the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This script implements and automates the Flow State Model, a highly effective multi-timeframe trading system created and popularized by ITS Johnny.
It is designed to help traders systematically align higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation patterns, offering a clear roadmap for catching institutional moves with high confidence.
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Unique:
This is not a simple liquidity indicator or a basic FVG plotter. The Flow State Model executes a full multi-step process:
Higher Timeframe PD Array Detection: Automatically identifies and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes.
Liquidity Sweep Monitoring: Tracks swing highs and lows to detect Buyside or Sellside Liquidity sweeps into the HTF PD Arrays.
CISD Detection: Waits for a Change in State of Delivery (CISD) by monitoring bullish or bearish displacement after a sweep.
Full Trade Checklist: Visual checklist ensures all critical conditions are met before signaling a completed Flow State setup.
Sensitivity Control: Adapt detection strictness (High, Medium, Low) based on market volatility.
⚙️ How the Indicator Works (Detailed):
Fair Value Gap Mapping:
The indicator constantly scans higher timeframes (4H, Daily, Weekly) for valid bullish or bearish Fair Value Gaps that are large enough (based on ATR multiples) and not weekend gaps.
These FVGs are displayed on the current timeframe with full extension logic and mitigation handling (clearing when invalidated).
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Swing highs and lows are identified using pivot logic (3-bar pivots). When price sweeps beyond a recent liquidity point into an active FVG, it flags the potential for a Flow State setup.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) Confirmation:
After a sweep, the script monitors price action for a sequence of bullish or bearish candles followed by displacement (break in delivery).
Only after displacement closes beyond the initiating sequence does a CISD level plot, confirming the market's new delivery state.
Execution Checklist:
An optional table tracks whether critical components are present:
Higher Timeframe PD Array.
Aligned Timeframe Bias.
Liquidity Sweep into FVG.
SMT Divergence (optional manual confirmation).
CISD Confirmation.
Dynamic Management:
Active gaps are extended automatically.
Cleared gaps and mitigated CISDs are deleted to keep charts clean.
Distance-to-FVG prioritization keeps only the nearest active setups visible.
🎯 How to Use It:
Step 1: Identify the bias by locating active higher timeframe FVGs.
Step 2: Wait for a Liquidity Sweep into a PD Array (active FVG).
Step 3: Watch for a CISD event (the Flow State confirmation).
Step 4: Once all conditions are checked off, execute trades based on retracements to CISD levels or continuation after displacement.
Best Timing:
During ICT Killzones: London Open, New York AM.
After daily or weekly liquidity events.
🔎 Underlying Concepts:
Liquidity Theory: Markets seek to engineer liquidity for real institutional entries.
Fair Value Gaps: Imbalances where price is expected to react or rebalance.
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): Confirmation that the market's delivery mechanism has shifted, validating bias continuation.
Flow State Principle: Seamlessly aligning higher timeframe liquidity draws with lower timeframe confirmation to maximize trade probability.
🎨 Customization Options:
Adjust sensitivity (High / Medium / Low) for volatile or calm conditions.
Customize FVG visibility, CISD display, labels, line colors, and sizing.
Set checklist visibility and manual tracking of SMT or aligned bias.
✅ Recommended for:
Traders studying Inner Circle Trader (ICT) models.
Intraday scalpers and swing traders seeking confluence-driven setups.
Traders looking for a structured, checklist-based execution process.
Inner Circle Toolkit [TakingProphets]Inner Circle Toolkit — A Complete ICT Trading Companion
The Inner Circle Toolkit is a closed-source, all-in-one trading tool designed for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts strategies. Every part of this script is built with purpose — not just a mashup of indicators, but a structured framework to help you follow price through the lens of institutional behavior and liquidity theory.
Let’s walk through what it does and how it can help you:
🕒 Session Liquidity Levels (Asia, London, New York, NY Lunch)
The indicator automatically marks the highs and lows of the major trading sessions:
-Asian Session
-London Session
-New York AM Session
-New York Lunch
These levels are important because price often returns to these points to grab liquidity before making a move. This gives traders clear areas to watch for potential sweeps, rejections, or reversals — without having to manually track session timings every day.
REQHs and REQLs — Equal Highs and Lows
This script detects Relatively Equal Highs and Lows (REQHs/REQLs), which are often used by institutions as stop-run targets.
It’s not just looking for copy-paste double tops or bottoms — it uses a tolerance-based algorithm that checks for clusters of similar highs or lows over a given time period. These are likely to hold stops and become magnets for price. When you see these on the chart, you’ll know where the “juice” is sitting.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) — Multi-Timeframe
The script automatically plots Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on both:
-Your current chart timeframe
-One or more higher timeframes (like H1 or H4)
These are three-candle gaps that form when price moves aggressively without filling in value. Price often comes back to these areas to rebalance. Seeing both local and higher-timeframe FVGs on your chart gives better context and helps with entries and exits.
The script is optimized so your chart doesn’t get messy — higher timeframe FVGs show up in a cleaner format with visual labels and lighter shading.
SMT Divergence — With Session Logic
This tool includes a real-time SMT divergence detector, based on the behavior of correlated markets like ES vs. NQ.
Here’s how it works:
If ES sweeps a liquidity level (like Asia Low), but NQ doesn’t, the script detects and marks that divergence.
This often signals institutional accumulation or distribution — a high-probability setup.
You won’t have to flip between charts or manually compare — the SMT logic runs automatically and only fires when it matters (at key session levels). It’s a smarter, more focused way to track intermarket divergences.
Daily Highs and Lows — Week-to-Week Structure
The indicator keeps track of the high and low for each day of the week — Monday through Friday — helping you understand how price is evolving across the week.
This helps build a weekly profile:
Did Monday set the high of the week?
Are we sweeping Tuesday’s low on Thursday?
These levels stay visible and labeled, helping you frame daily setups inside the bigger picture.
🕛 Midnight Open & 8:30 AM Open Levels
These two levels are core ICT concepts used to judge whether price is in premium or discount:
Midnight Open (00:00 EST): Used to determine daily bias
New York Open (08:30 EST): Often a launch point for key moves
Both are drawn automatically and extend throughout the day. This helps you align your trades with potential algorithmic bias, especially during NY session volatility.
⏰ 9:45 AM Vertical Marker — Macro Time Reminder
The script draws a subtle vertical line at 9:45 AM EST, which is the start of the NY AM macro session — one of the most likely times to see setups play out.
This is more than just a timer — it’s a visual cue that something important might be setting up soon, especially if you’re already watching SMT, FVGs, or liquidity zones from earlier.
How It All Connects — A Workflow, Not a Mashup
Every feature in this script is connected to the same goal: helping you trade with the Smart Money.
Here’s how the pieces work together:
Session levels → potential stop hunts
Equal highs/lows → targets
FVGs → entry points
SMT divergence → confirmation or warning
Daily highs/lows → Weekly structure frames bias
Open levels → premium vs. discount
Macro line → timing clue for execution
It’s built to help you flow with price action and trade the story, not just random signals.
Why It’s Closed Source — and Original
This script is closed-source because it contains:
A proprietary system for real-time SMT logic (with intermarket sweep detection)
Multi-timeframe FVG detection that auto-filters overlaps
Smart equal-high/low detection using range-based clustering
Optimized UI that shows a lot without overwhelming the chart
There are no moving averages, no public-domain indicators, and no mashup of standard tools. Everything here is purpose-built for traders who follow ICT strategies.

Fair Value Gap Finder [Find Better Trades]Fair Value Gap Finder (FVG) – Spot Institutional Imbalances
📈 Identify Key Market Imbalances
The Fair Value Gap Finder automatically detects price inefficiencies where aggressive buying or selling has created an imbalance in liquidity. These gaps, often left by institutional traders, can serve as key areas for price to revisit before continuing its trend.
🔍 How It Works:
Highlights bullish Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in green, signaling potential support zones.
Highlights bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in red, signaling potential resistance zones.
Uses ATR-based filtering to eliminate small, insignificant gaps, focusing only on high-probability setups.
Alerts included! Get notified when a valid Fair Value Gap is detected.
📊 How to Trade Using FVGs:
✅ For Buy Trades: Wait for price to return to a bullish FVG and confirm support before entering long.
✅ For Sell Trades: Wait for price to revisit a bearish FVG and confirm resistance before entering short.
✅ Use with candlestick patterns, trend analysis, or volume for additional confirmation.
⚙️ Customizable Settings:
Adjust the ATR Multiplier to control how large a gap must be before triggering a signal.
Enable alerts to stay informed in real time when new FVGs appear.
💡 Why Use This Indicator?
Fair Value Gaps are widely used by professional traders to spot areas of liquidity, making them valuable for scalping, swing trading, and institutional-style trading.

Directional Targets & POC TableThe "Directional Targets & POC Table" Pine Script™ is a comprehensive tool designed to help traders identify directional bias, potential price targets, and important levels like the Point of Control (POC). Additionally, it detects fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks, which are crucial concepts in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. Here's an overview of its functionality:
1. Indicator Overview:
The script combines multiple technical tools into a single visual aid:
Directional Targets: Fibonacci-based upper and lower targets that provide a forecast of where the price might move.
Point of Control (POC): Midpoint of the daily range, displayed visually on the chart.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Areas of imbalance in the market, potentially leading to price reversals.
Order Blocks: Areas where institutional traders might have entered large positions, potentially serving as support or resistance.
2. Key Features:
Directional Targets & POC Table:
A table is displayed in the top-right corner of the chart, showing:
Direction: Based on whether the price is above or below the POC.
Target ↑: The upper target, calculated using Fibonacci's 0.618 level, which acts as a potential resistance.
POC: The midpoint between the daily high and low, serving as the central level of interest.
Target ↓: The lower target, also calculated using the 0.618 Fibonacci level, which serves as potential support.
The table uses colors to make each level easily distinguishable, with green for bullish targets, red for bearish, and yellow for the POC.
POC Visualization:
The Point of Control (POC) is drawn on the chart as a box that stretches horizontally. It highlights the central price range where the highest volume or interest may have occurred, providing a key level for traders to watch.
The POC can act as a support or resistance area, with price frequently reacting at or near this level.
FVG Detection:
Fair Value Gaps are identified when there’s a price imbalance between two bars. These gaps occur when the high of one bar is lower than the low of a bar two periods earlier, or vice versa.
The script draws lines at the boundaries of these gaps, helping traders spot potential areas where the price may return to fill the gap.
If the price revisits and fills the gap, the FVG lines are automatically deleted, signaling the gap is no longer relevant.
Order Blocks Detection:
Bullish Order Blocks are detected when a strong bullish candle forms, where the close equals the high, and it’s higher than the previous bar’s low. This represents potential institutional buying interest.
Bearish Order Blocks are detected when a strong bearish candle forms, where the close equals the low, and it’s lower than the previous bar’s high, representing potential selling interest.
The order blocks are drawn as rectangles on the chart, marking significant price zones that may act as future support (bullish) or resistance (bearish).
3. Direction Determination:
The script calculates the daily high, low, and mid-point (POC). If the current price is above the POC, the market is deemed bullish; if it’s below, the market is bearish. If it’s near the POC, the market is considered neutral.
This directional bias is then displayed in the table, giving traders an easy way to assess whether they should be looking for long or short opportunities.
4. Use Case:
This script is particularly useful for traders who:
Want to identify key levels like the POC and potential price targets based on Fibonacci retracement.
Follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and need tools to detect FVGs and order blocks, which can signal areas of market imbalance or institutional involvement.
Need a simple visual aid to determine market direction and structure, helping them make informed trading decisions.
5. Additional Features:
The script is highly visual, providing both numeric information in a table and plotted elements (lines, boxes) directly on the chart.
The automatic detection and clearing of FVGs and order blocks make this tool dynamic and easy to follow.
The script helps identify areas where price might react, giving traders a roadmap to follow for potential entries, exits, or take-profit levels.
This indicator is designed for traders looking to incorporate both conventional and advanced concepts like Fibonacci targets, POC, and SMC principles (FVGs and Order Blocks) into their strategy.
IMGCore - V1.0IMG Core uses five sequential stages to analyse price action and alert users to potential Trade Setups using various Price Action Concepts as detailed below:
1. Identify Higher Timeframe Market Structure and Points of Interest (HTF-POIs)
2. Calculate position size based on your risk appetite, fees and account leverage and customisable maximum trade risk
3. Alert you to risk managed trade setups at enabled HTF-POIs
4. Alert you to trade exits based on your set criteria
5. Provide Additional Alerts such as Higher Timeframe SFPs and Market Structure Breaks that act as potential early warnings that a trade setup may be forming
1. HTF POIs Available with IMG CORE:
a. HTF Market Structure Range Highs and Lows
b. HTF Order Blocks
c. HTF Breakers
d. HTF FVGs
a. Higher Timeframe Market Structure Range High and Low through Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
b. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
c. Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
d. Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
2. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
a. Automated Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite (capital risk per trade) details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
b. Maximum Trade Risk:
IMG Core has the ability to invalidate potential trade entries if it exceeds your maximum Trade Risk threshold. Trade Risk is the % price difference between entry and stoploss.
When an invalid signal is generated, the signal will not be shaded and the interactive label will display the reason for invalidation
In the example below, Max Trade Risk is set to 2% , but the trade signal had a trade risk of 5.11% , invalidating the signal with a grey triangle
3. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG CORE:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
a. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
b. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Higher Timeframe (HTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
c. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
d. Multiple LTF Entry Options once a signal is confirmed
a. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: H12 SFPs at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
b. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at HTF POIs:
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an enabled Higher Timeframe POI (Order Blocks / Breakers / FVGs) followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are always in line current Market Structure bias.
Example: H12 SFPs and Trade Setups at HTF POIs with Fluid Exits on a H1 Chart:
c. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Signals will alert you to enter a Limit Entry at the LTF MSB Level OR LTF Breaker
Example:
d. LTF Entry Options:
IMG CORE provides the following options for LTF Entries:
i. Limit Entry at Lower Timeframe MSB Levels
ii. Limit Entry at Lower Timeframe Breakers
Based on this selection, the trade setup alert will provide entry price details to set limit orders at the MSB level or LTF Breaker High.
4. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG CORE:
The system provides the following options for trade exit alerts:
i. User defined Risk to Reward (R:R)
ii. On a confirmed Opposite Signal (Fluid Exits)
Example: H12 Long Entry and Exit Signal using Fluid Exits H1 Chart:
5. IMG CORE Alerts Overview
The system provides notifications of:
1. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
2. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
3. Confirmed HTF SFPs at HTF POIs
4. Potential Trade Setups at Range Extremes
5. Potential Trade Setups at HTF Points of Interest (HTF-LTF and LTF-LTF)
6. Fixed R Trade Exits
7. Exit on Opposing Signals (Fluid Exits)
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions; manage your risk wisely.
Stay safe and Happy Trading!

## About This Indicator
**Trend Gazer** is an integrated trading system designed to read institutional order flow like professional traders.
### 🎯 3 Problems This Indicator Solves
#### ❌ Problem 1: Too Many Indicators = Information Overload
```
Normal: RSI + MACD + Moving Average + Bollinger Bands... → Cluttered chart
Solution: All integrated into ONE indicator → Clean & Clear
```
#### ❌ Problem 2: Single Indicators Give False Signals
```
Normal: Enter based on RSI alone → Frequent stop-outs
Solution: Structure × Zone × Momentum multi-angle confirmation → Higher win rate
```
#### ❌ Problem 3: Unclear Entry Timing
```
Normal: Know the trend but don't know WHERE to enter
Solution: LS Bounce Signal shows EXACT entry points
```
---
## Quick Start Guide (3 Steps)
### 🚀 STEP 1: Confirm Trend Direction
**Look for CHoCH (Change of Character)**
```
📍 (1.CHoCH) label = Uptrend starting
📍 (a.CHoCH) label = Downtrend starting
```
**Important**: Wait for CHoCH! No direction without it.
---
### 🎯 STEP 2: Find Entry Points
**Wait for LS Bounce Signal (green/red labels)**
```
🟢 "Long@ HL only" label → LONG (buy) candidate
🔴 "Short@ LH only" label → SHORT (sell) candidate
```
**Label text color meaning**:
- **White text**: Clean trend (high confidence)
- **Yellow text**: Trend transition (moderate caution)
---
### 🛡️ STEP 3: Final Confirmation with Bar Color
**Bar color shows market state**
```
🔴 Red bar: BUY zone (buying is favored)
🟢 Green bar: SELL zone (selling is favored)
⚪ White bar: Neutral (wait and see)
```
---
## Detailed Usage
### 📊 Understanding the Chart
#### 1. Labels (Market Structure Changes)
```
(1.CHoCH) / (a.CHoCH) : Trend reversal
(2.SiMS) / (b.SiMS) : Momentum confirmation
(3.BoMS) / (c.BoMS) : Trend continuation
```
#### 2. Boxes (Institutional Order Zones)
```
📦 Blue boxes: Bullish OB (buy orders accumulated)
📦 Red boxes: Bearish OB (sell orders accumulated)
📦 Black transparent boxes: Liquidity Sweep
```
**How to use Order Blocks**:
- Function as support/resistance
- Signals within OB have higher reliability
- Use for stop-loss placement
#### 3. Lines (Trends and Support/Resistance)
```
━━━ Red lines: EMA20, EMA50, EMA100 (short to mid-term trends)
━━━ Blue lines: 60min NPR/BB bands (support/resistance)
```
#### 4. Bar Colors (Filter 6)
```
Bar color = Real-time market state
🔴 Red: Buying is favored
🟢 Green: Selling is favored
⚪ White: Neutral
```
---
### 🎯 Practical Trading Flow
#### 📍 Preparation Phase
```
1. Open chart (recommended: 5min or 15min)
2. Add Trend Gazer to chart
3. Start in observation mode (don't enter yet)
```
#### 📍 Entry Decision
```
✅ CHoCH confirms direction → Uptrend starting
✅ LS Bounce Signal "Long@ HL only" appears
→ Entry point candidate
✅ Bar turns red → Market supports buying
→ Entry decision 🎯
✅ Place stop below nearest Order Block (blue box)
```
#### 📍 Exit Decision
```
🔴 Opposite LS Bounce Signal "Short@ LH only" appears
→ Consider taking profit
🔴 Bar turns green
→ Potential trend reversal, review position
🔴 Stop loss hit
→ Exit with loss
```
---
### 💡 Tips for Higher Win Rate
#### ✅ DO's
```
1. Enter AFTER CHoCH appears
2. Prioritize white-text LS Bounce Signals
3. Check higher timeframe (1H or Daily) trend
4. Emphasize signals within Order Blocks
5. Use bar color as final confirmation
```
#### ❌ DON'Ts
```
1. Enter before CHoCH → No clear direction
2. Enter only on yellow text → Unstable transition period
3. Ignore bar color → Trading against market state
4. Don't check Order Blocks → Unclear support/resistance
5. Enter same direction consecutively → Overtrading
```

## Why Combine Multiple Features?
### 🎯 Problem: Single Indicator Limitations
Common trader problems:
```
❌ RSI alone → Trade against trend, lose
❌ Moving Average alone → Late entry timing
❌ Support/Resistance alone → Caught by false breakouts
```
**Markets are complex**. One angle isn't enough.
---
### 💡 Solution: Multi-Angle Integrated Approach
#### 1️⃣ Structure × Zone × Momentum
```
📐 Structure (ICT CHoCH)
→ "Which direction is likely?"
📦 Zone (OB/NPR/BB)
→ "Where will price react?"
💨 Momentum (EMA/VWC)
→ "Is there momentum now?"
```
**When all 3 align = Highest win-rate timing**
---
#### 2️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Analysis
```
Big picture: Confirm Daily direction
Medium-term: Check 1H Order Blocks
Short-term: Time entry on 5min
```
**Short-term entries aligned with higher timeframes = Better win rate**
---
#### 3️⃣ Understanding Liquidity
```
🎣 Institutional strategy:
1. Intentionally move price opposite to stop out retail
2. Then, move in real direction
💡 Liquidity Sweep = Visualize this "trap"
→ Read institutional order flow
```
---
### 🧠 Integration Examples
#### Case 1: RSI Alone vs Integrated System
**Scenario**: RSI at 30 (oversold)
```
❌ RSI-only decision:
→ "Buy!"
→ But downtrend continues, loss 😢
✅ Trend Gazer:
CHoCH check → Still downtrend ❌
Order Block → In Bearish OB ❌
LS Bounce → SHORT signal only ❌
→ Skip or SHORT
→ Avoid loss ✅
```
**Result**: Multiple filters block wrong entry
---
#### Case 2: LS Bounce Signal 2-Stage Logic
**Scenario**: Price touches 60min NPR lower band
```
🔍 Traditional method:
Touched → Buy!
→ But price continues down 😢
✅ Trend Gazer:
Stage 1: NPR touch + red bar → Flag ON
Stage 2: EMA20 crosses above EMA50 → Confirm bounce
→ Now "Long@ HL only" displays
→ Entry → Success ✅
```
**Result**: Not just "touch" but "touch + bounce confirmation" improves accuracy
---
### 🎓 Progressive Learning Design
This indicator is designed for **beginners to advanced**:
```
📖 Beginner (Month 1):
Use only CHoCH + LS Bounce Signal
→ Learn trend and entry points
📖 Intermediate (Months 2-3):
Add Order Block + Bar Color
→ Learn support/resistance and filtering
📖 Advanced (Month 6+):
Master all features
→ Read institutional order flow
```
**Ultimate goal**: Indicator becomes confirmation tool. Your market sense becomes primary.
---
### 🔬 Technical Advantages
#### 1. Non-Repaint STDEV (NPR)
```
Normal Bollinger Bands:
→ Past data changes (repaints)
→ Inaccurate backtesting
NPR:
→ Past data doesn't change (non-repaint)
→ Reliable verification possible
```
#### 2. 2-Stage Signal Logic
```
Traditional: Condition met → Immediate signal
→ Many false signals
Trend Gazer: Condition1 → Flag ON → Condition2 → Signal
→ Confirmation step improves accuracy
```
#### 3. Alternating Filter
```
Problem: Same-direction signals spam
→ Overtrading
Solution: LONG → SHORT → LONG alternating only
→ Prevent unnecessary entries
```
---
### 💎 Conclusion: Why Integration?
```
Single indicator = "Partial truth"
Integrated system = "3D market perspective"
```
**Markets are multifaceted**. One angle isn't enough.
Trend Gazer **integrates multiple screens pros watch simultaneously into ONE**,
allowing beginners to read charts with institutional perspective.
---
## FAQ
### ❓ Q1: Which timeframe is best?
**A**: Depends on trading style
```
Scalping: 1min ~ 5min
Day Trading: 5min ~ 15min
Swing: 1H ~ 4H
```
**Important**: LS Bounce Signal only works on 30min and below.
---
### ❓ Q2: Too many signals, confused
**A**: Enable filters
```
【Recommended Settings】
✅ Bonus Filter: ON

✅ ICT Market Structure Filter: ON
→ Show only Signal 0
```
This significantly reduces signal count.
---
### ❓ Q3: No CHoCH appearing, what to do?
**A**: Wait or check higher timeframe
```
Method 1: Wait for CHoCH (recommended)
Method 2: Check higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) for trend
Method 3: Disable ICT Filter (not recommended)
```
**When trend is unclear, sitting out is also strategy**.
---
### ❓ Q4: LS Bounce Signal not appearing
**A**: Checkpoints
```
1. Are you on 30min or below chart?
→ Doesn't show on 1H+
2. Are NPR/BB bands displayed?

3. Is EMA50 excluded?
→ If "Exclude EMA50" is ON, EMA50 signals won't show
```
---
### ❓ Q5: Bar color not changing?
**A**: Check Filter 6
```
Settings → FINAL FILTERS
→ Confirm "Enable Filter 6 (OB/BB/NPR Zone Filter)" is ON
If ON but still not changing:
→ Current price may be outside OB/NPR/BB zones
```
---

**A**: Narrow down displayed OBs
```
Settings → ORDER BLOCK (OB) SETTINGS
Recommended:
❌ Show Current TF OB: OFF
❌ Show 1min OB: OFF
❌ Show 5min OB: OFF
✅ Show 15min OB: ON (only this)
```
---
### ❓ Q7: How to improve win rate?
**A**: Thorough multiple confirmations
```

TCT OBIF Detector█ OVERVIEW
The OBIF (Order Block Imbalance Fill) indicator automatically detects and visualizes high-probability trading zones by combining two powerful Smart Money Concepts: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
An OBIF occurs when an Order Block forms immediately before a Fair Value Gap, creating a zone of institutional interest that price often revisits before continuing its move.
█ CONCEPTS
Order Block (OB)
An Order Block is the last opposing candle before a strong directional move. It represents an area where institutional traders likely placed orders.
- Bullish OB: Last bearish candle before an up-move
- Bearish OB: Last bullish candle before a down-move
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
An FVG is a price imbalance created when a candle's body completely gaps past the previous candle's range, leaving an unfilled area.
- Bullish FVG: Gap up where candle .low > candle .high
- Bearish FVG: Gap down where candle .high < candle .low
OBIF Zone
When an Order Block directly precedes an FVG, it creates an OBIF - a confluence zone with higher probability of acting as support/resistance.
█ HOW TO USE
1. Identify the Trend
Use OBIFs in the direction of the higher timeframe trend for best results.
2. Wait for Price to Return
OBIFs act as magnets - price often returns to fill the imbalance and test the order block.
3. Look for Confirmation
When price enters an OBIF zone, look for:
- Rejection wicks
- Engulfing patterns
- Break of structure on lower timeframes
4. Mitigation
Once price fully trades through the OBIF (touches the opposite edge), the zone is considered mitigated and loses its significance.
█ FEATURES
- Automatic Detection — Identifies OBIFs in real-time as they form
- Visual Zones — Clean, non-intrusive boxes that don't obscure price action
- Mitigation Tracking — Zones automatically update when price mitigates them
- Multi-Timeframe Friendly — Works on any timeframe from 1m to Monthly
- Customizable — Adjust colors, opacity, and display preferences
█ SETTINGS
- Lookback Window — How many candles back to search for the Order Block (default: 3)
- Show Bullish/Bearish — Toggle visibility of each type
- Show Mitigated — Display zones that have been mitigated (shown in gray)
- Fill Opacity — Adjust zone transparency (higher = more see-through)
- Border Width — Thickness of zone borders
█ BEST PRACTICES
✓ Use on higher timeframes (1H+) for more reliable zones
✓ Combine with market structure analysis
✓ Look for OBIFs at key support/resistance levels
✓ Use lower timeframe confirmation for entries
✗ Don't trade every OBIF blindly
✗ Avoid OBIFs against the dominant trend
