Premium Dashboard [TFO]The purpose of this indicator is to serve as a scanner/dashboard for several symbols across multiple timeframes. At the time of release, the scanner looks for the following criteria on all selected timeframes:
- Whether price is in a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
- Whether price is in an Order Block (OB)
- Current Market Structure
- Nearest Liquidity Pivots
- Proximity to said Liquidity Pivots
For FVGs, the user selects a Displacement Strength to validate FVGs from the selected timeframes; larger values require greater displacement. The table will indicate whether price is presently trading in a valid bullish FVG, bearish FVG, or none.
With OBs, the user selects a similar Displacement Strength to validate OBs from the selected timeframes. Again, larger values require greater displacement to validate an OB. The table will indicate whether price is presently trading in a bullish OB, bearish OB, or none.
For Market Structure, the table will indicate whether the current structure is bullish or bearish on each respective timeframe. A pivot strength parameter is used to determine which swing highs and swing lows warrant valid Market Structure Shifts (reversals) or Breaks of Structure (continuations).
The Liquidity section of the dashboard displays the nearest Buyside and Sellside Liquidity (major highs and lows) from each respective timeframe. A similar pivot strength parameter is used to determine how "strong" the highs and lows must be in order to be considered valid.
The Premium / Discount section offers an alternative view of the nearest Liquidity Pivots, where it will instead display a percent value to describe how close price is to Buyside or Sellside Liquidity. Values approaching 100% imply price is trading close to the nearest Buyside Liquidity, while values approaching 0% imply price is trading close to Sellside Liquidity.
Users can also choose to show any of the above features on their current chart: FVGs, OBs, cumulative Market Structure, and Liquidity, all from the various selected timeframes.

ICT SM Trades PREMIUMIndicator looks for ICT & Smart Money trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistance, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area - it is labeled with x-cross) and then price should go fast to the opposite side of the created structure. Indicator considers as a created structure everything that was created on the other side of the candles from the oldest pivot H/L which creates particular liquidity. For example, if liquidity is created with 3 pivot highs, indicator looks at the oldest pivot high and from there it is looking for the lowest low. Under this lowest low is dashed line which means that this level should be broken with closed candle. This action is called market structure shift (MSS), when the price shifted very fast from highs to lows. After MSS, when the price went fast to one direction, there were some imbalances in prices, in our example selling pressure was a lot bigger than buying pressure and there were created some long untested bearish candles. This untested areas in candles are called imbalances or gaps of fair value gaps (FVG). These are labeled with rectangles. It is expected that these gaps will be tested in near future to "balance the market".
We can put limit orders into these gaps (or into order blocks in PREMIUM indicator) and await some retracement after MSS to open our positions and after the positions are opened we can expect trend continuation in the direction where market structure shift was made (away from liquidity grab). So stoplosses can be placed above/below liquidity grab candle (marked with x-cross).
Alerts can be set for MSS to Long & Short and for liquidity grabs to Long & Short.
All settings of this indicator should be self-explanatory and most of them have tooltips for better understanding.
Price-Volume Correlation Strength (PVC)Overview
The Price-Volume Correlation Strength (PVC) indicator is a behavioral-analysis tool that quantifies the relationship between price movement and volume participation to distinguish t rue directional moves from false momentum or exhaustion traps .
It combines dynamic price–volume correlation logic, signal clustering, liquidity-sweep detection, and multi-day reference levels into a single, data-driven framework that adapts across all markets and timeframes.
⸻
1️⃣ Core Logic — Price vs Volume Correlation
At the heart of PVC is the belief that price without volume confirmation is deception .
The script evaluates whether volume supports or contradicts price direction using a rolling volume average and short-term price delta:
Price Direction Volume Behavior
↑ Price + ↑ Volume True Bull Move ✅ — Healthy rally with strong participation
↑ Price + ↓ Volume False Bull Move ⚠️ — Buyer exhaustion or fake breakout
↓ Price + ↑ Volume True Bear Move ✅ — Active selling pressure
↓ Price + ↓ Volume False Bear Move ⚠️ — Short covering / weak decline
Candles are automatically color-coded so that traders can instantly identify whether the current move is being supported (lime/red) or rejected (gray) by the underlying volume dynamics.
2️⃣ Signal Module — Trend Confirmation & Reversal
PVC tracks sequences of consecutive “true” bars to generate BUY or SELL signals once momentum aligns with sustained volume confirmation.
A built-in signal-strength filter (user-adjustable) ensures that only moves with multi-bar confirmation are considered.
Signals are non-repainting: once triggered, they persist until an opposite direction is confirmed.
3️⃣ Liquidity Sweep Engine
Markets often manipulate recent highs/lows to trigger stops before true reversals begin.
The Liquidity Sweep Engine detects these events by comparing current highs/lows to prior extremes and validating them with above-average volume bursts .
• Bullish Sweep (Blue dot below bar): liquidity taken below prior lows, buyers absorb volume → potential reversal up.
• Bearish Sweep (Blue dot above bar): liquidity taken above prior highs, sellers absorb volume → potential reversal down.
This module helps traders recognize Smart Money traps and stop-hunt zones that precede major turning points.
4️⃣ Adaptive Dashboard
A compact, on-chart dashboard summarizes the market state in real time:
• Price Direction — UP / DOWN / FLAT
• Volume Trend — RISING / FALLING
• Move Validity — True / False Move
• Signal Status — Active Buy / Sell / Mixed
• Recent Sweeps — Bull / Bear / Both / None
Border and grid colors are user-configurable for visual clarity.
⸻
5️⃣ Multi-Day OHLC & VWAP Suite
To complement the intraday correlation engine, PVC integrates a Multi-Day OHLC module that automatically projects up to 10 previous-day levels (High, Low, Close, and VWAP).
These act as natural liquidity magnets and reaction zones where price often pauses or reverses.
Users can customize:
• Line colors for each level type
• Universal or per-type line thickness
• Number of days to display (1–10)
This turns the indicator into a complete context map—linking current price–volume behavior with historical reference levels.
⸻
6️⃣ Alerts & Practical Use
Built-in alerts trigger on:
• True Bull Move / True Bear Move (momentum confirmation)
• Buy / Sell Signals (multi-bar strength filter)
• Bullish / Bearish Liquidity Sweep (stop-hunt detection)
Best use cases
• Identify whether a breakout is real or fading before entering.
• Confirm reversals with simultaneous volume confirmation + liquidity flush.
• Combine with VWAP or structure tools to align with institutional footprints.
⸻
7️⃣ Why PVC is Original
While most volume indicators only show totals or ratios, PVC focuses on behavioral correlation—the timing and agreement between price change and participation.
By merging price–volume validation, trap detection, and multi-day liquidity mapping inside one unified system, PVC provides a contextual narrative of market strength that no single classic indicator offers.
⸻
How to Use
1. Apply on any timeframe or instrument.
2. Observe candle colors for confirmation or divergence.
3. Watch the dashboard: when both Price UP + Volume Rising + True Move + Buy Active, the move has strong backing.
4. If “False Move” or “Liquidity Sweep” appears, expect a possible reversal.
5. Align entries with daily VWAP/High/Low zones for confluence.

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
⸻
📈 How to Use
1. Apply indicator to any asset or timeframe.
2. Select which institutional setups you want active.
3. Optionally enable MTF Confluence (5 min → 1 hr recommended).
4. Wait for BOS/CHoCH confirmation + zone alignment before entry.
5. Use OB and FVG zones for entry/exit planning with risk management.
⸻
💡 Originality Statement
This script introduces a multi-layered institutional logic engine that merges liquidity, mitigation, and imbalance behavior into a unified framework—augmented with time-frame synchronization and signal-cooldown management.
All logic, calculations, and visualization structure were built from scratch for this model.
It is not a mash-up of existing public indicators and offers measurable analytical value through MTF-aware trade validation.

B A N K $ - Breaks & SweepsThis indicator automatically maps on Breaks of Structure & Liquidity Sweeps. It works by calculating pivot points based on how many candles are above/below either side of a pivot.
The user can manually set how many candles need to be above/below either side of a pivot if they would prefer to change it.
The indicator will dynamically adjust the lines as the user changes timeframe to allow for seamless analysis.
Features
Break of Structure lines
Liquidity Sweep lines
Dealing Range - this allows the user to visualise the current dealing range
Explanation
A sweep is determined by whether a candle closes through a pivot point with a body closure or not. If the candle wicks this level but fails to close through it, the line will turn red to indicate a liquidity sweep.
If the following 3 candles go on to close through the break line, this will then update it from a red sweep line to the normal break line again. (sometimes the initial candle that touches a level will not close through it but price will continue to break that level in the next few candles).
BTC Regime Phase [HY|YC|GLI]The correlation between global liquidity and INDEX:BTCUSD has attracted a lot of attention. Building on this insight, I developed an indicator that not only tracks global liquidity but also integrates the high‑yield spread and yield‑curve slope to capture credit risk and growth expectations.
Essence and Logic
At its core, the Risk‑On Composite Z‑Score converts three macro factors global liquidity momentum, the US high‑yield spread and the slope of the US yield curve into standardized Z‑scores, weights them, and tracks moving‑average crossovers. Each factor has a rationale: high‑yield spreads are powerful business‑cycle indicators and often outperform other financial variables (Gertler & Lown, 2000). Yield‑curve steepness reflects investor optimism and prompts shifts toward riskier assets global liquidity drives cross‑border flows and risk sentiment (Goldberg, 2023; Lee, 2024). Combining these measures gives a composite signal that has historically aligned well with Bitcoin’s tops and bottoms. Usable also for other crypto coins: INDEX:ETHUSD CRYPTO:SOLUSD CRYPTO:LINKUSD
Limitations and My Current Model Outlook
I want to be transparent: the three model sections are highly correlated. Currently, the high‑yield spread and yield curve data come only from the US; I may add Euro or Japanese spreads later. I’m also aware that macro dynamics are evolving. Fiscal policy and political choices could shorten bear markets and make the current sell signals less relevant. In a stagflationary world, inflation‑adjusted liquidity may swing more violently and require an asset‑inflation adjustment. Yet, the model has captured Bitcoin’s tops and bottoms almost to the week—future patterns may rhyme, not repeat.
Questions and Ideas:
Do you think this model will still be useful as fiscal and monetary regimes shift?
Should I add a stagnation modulation perhaps real yields or inflation‑adjusted liquidity—to better capture a stagflation scenario?
Are there high‑yield spreads on TV beyond the US that I should include? (Euro and Japan indices do exist.)
Would it make sense to incorporate Bitcoin halving events or a stock‑to‑flow module?
The indicator is free to use. If it brings you value, you’re welcome to follow for updates. I appreciate your support and feedback.

Features: Users can enable or disable each component, adjust weights and choose a short‑tenor (1‑year or 2‑year) for the yield curve. The script automatically scales lookback windows based on the chart timeframe (daily, weekly or monthly). It offers visual plots of each Z‑score, the composite score, and smoothed moving averages, with background colours highlighting regimes and markers for entries and exits. Trade logic includes optional dip‑buy triggers when the composite falls below a threshold, Friday‑only execution on daily charts to reduce whipsaws. A trend table summarises current Z‑scores and their trends. Settings are tuned for BTC weekly data but should be adjusted for other assets or timeframes. Because some inputs (e.g., GLI weights) have limited historical data, long backtests may be less reliable when using on other Risk On Assets like NASDAQ:NDX NCDEX:COPPER

BTC Power of Law x Central Bank LiquidityThis indicator combines Bitcoin's long-term growth model (Power Law) with global central bank liquidity to help identify potential buy and sell signals.
How it works:
Power Law Oscillator: This part of the indicator tracks how far Bitcoin's current price is from its expected long-term growth, based on an exponential model. It helps you see when Bitcoin may be overbought (too expensive) or oversold (cheap) compared to its historical trend.
Central Bank Liquidity: This measures the amount of money injected into the financial system by major central banks (like the Fed or ECB). When more money is printed, asset prices, including Bitcoin, tend to rise. When liquidity dries up, prices often fall.
By combining these two factors, the indicator gives you a more accurate view of Bitcoin's price trends.
How to interpret:
Green Line : Bitcoin is undervalued compared to its long-term growth, and the liquidity environment is supportive. This is typically a buy signal.
Yellow Line: Bitcoin is trading near its expected value, or there's uncertainty due to mixed liquidity conditions. This is a hold signal.
Red Line: Bitcoin is overvalued, or liquidity is tightening. This is a potential sell signal.
Zones:
The background will turn green when Bitcoin is in a buy zone and red when it's in a sell zone, giving you easy-to-read visual cues.
AutoPilot | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
The AutoPilot indicator automates the management of your active trades by:
Breaks Even: Moves the stop-loss to the entry price once the trade reaches a 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Closes Trades: Automatically exits trades when trailing stop-losses are triggered.
This automation is facilitated through PineConnector and TradingView webhook integration, allowing traders to manage multiple positions across various markets effortlessly without any manual intervention.
----
How does this indicator trail stop-loss using market structure?
The AutoPilot indicator utilizes an advanced market structure trailing stop-loss mechanism to manage trades based on market dynamics and probabilities.
Here's how it works:
Market Structure Identification: The indicator first identifies key market structures such as higher highs, lower lows.
These structures are pivotal points where the market has shown a change in direction or momentum.
Probability-Based Trailing: Once a trade is active, the stop-loss isn't just set at a fixed distance or percentage but is dynamically adjusted based on the probability of the market structure holding or breaking.
This involves:
Trend Continuation Probability: If the market structure suggests a strong trend continuation (e.g., a series of higher highs in an uptrend), the stop-loss might trail closer to the price, but with a buffer calculated by the probability of the trend continuing versus reversing.
Reversal Probability: Conversely, if there's a high probability of a trend reversal based on recent market structures (like a significant lower high in an uptrend), the stop-loss might be adjusted to a point where the market structure would need to break to confirm the reversal, thus protecting potential profits or minimizing losses.
Dynamic Adjustment: The trailing stop-loss adjusts in real-time as new market structures form. For instance, if a new higher high is formed in an uptrend, the stop-loss might move up but not necessarily to the exact previous swing low. Instead, it's placed at a level where the probability of the next swing low not breaking this level is high, based on historical price action.
Risk Management: By using market structure and probabilities, the indicator aims to balance between giving the trade room to breathe (allowing for normal market fluctuations) and tightening the stop-loss when the market behavior suggests a potential trend change or continuation with high confidence.
This approach ensures that the stop-loss isn't just a static or simple trailing mechanism but a sophisticated tool that adapts to the evolving market conditions, aiming to maximize profit while minimizing the risk of being stopped out prematurely due to market noise.
----
How are the probabilities calculated? What are the underlying calculations?
The probability is designed to enhance trade management by using buyside liquidity and probability analysis to filter out low/high probability conditions.
This helps in identifying optimal trailing points where the likelihood of a price continuation is higher.
Calculations:
1. Understanding Swing highs and Swing Lows
Swing High: A Swing High is formed when there is a high with 2 lower highs to the left and right.
Swing Low: A Swing Low is formed when there is a low with 2 higher lows to the left and right.
2. Understanding the purpose and the underlying calculations behind Buyside, Sellside and Equilibrium levels.
3. Understanding probability calculations
1. Upon the formation of a new range, the script waits for the price to reach and tap into equilibrium or the 50% level. Status: "⏸" - Inactive
2. Once equilibrium is tapped into, the equilibrium status becomes activated and it waits for either liquidity side to be hit. Status: "▶" - Active
3. If the buyside liquidity is hit, the script adds to the count of successful buyside liquidity occurrences. Similarly, if the sellside is tapped, it records successful sellside liquidity occurrences.
5. Finally, the number of successful occurrences for each side is divided by the overall count individually to calculate the range probabilities.
Note: The calculations are performed independently for each directional range. A range is considered bearish if the previous breakout was through a sellside liquidity. Conversely, a range is considered bullish if the most recent breakout was through a buyside liquidity.
----
What does the automation table display?
The automation table in the AutoPilot indicator provides a summary of user-defined settings crucial for automated trade management through PineConnector and TradingView integration. It displays:
PineConnector License ID: This ensures that the indicator is linked to your specific PineConnector account, allowing for personalized and secure automation of your trades.
Order Type (Buy/Sell): Indicates whether the automation is set for buying or selling, which is essential for correctly executing your trading strategy.
Chosen Symbol: Specifies the trading pair or symbol in your broker's platform where the trade management commands (like closing orders) will be executed. This ensures that the automation targets the correct market or asset.
Risk Per Trade: Shows the percentage or amount of your capital you're willing to risk on each trade, helping you maintain consistent risk management across different trades.
Comment: A field for you to input notes or identifiers, particularly useful when trading across multiple markets or instruments. This helps in tracking and managing trades across different assets or strategies.
Comment: A field for you to input identifiers, particularly useful when trading across multiple timeframes or different enries.
Allowing users to manage specific comments for each previously taken entry, facilitating precise management of multiple trades with unique identifiers.
This table serves as a quick reference for your current settings, ensuring you're always aware of how your trades are being managed automatically before any adjustments are made or alerts are triggered.
----
How to use the indicator?
To use the AutoPilot indicator:
Purchase a License ID: Acquire a license ID from PineConnector.
Setup PineConnector EA: Install and configure the PineConnector Expert Advisor on your MetaTrader platform.
Input Settings: Enter your PineConnector license ID, choose the order type, set your risk per trade, add the order comment, and select the trading symbol in the indicator's settings.
Create Alert: Right-click on the automation table, and set up an alert with the provided webhook to connect with PineConnector.
Automatic Management: Once set, your active trades will be automatically managed according to the alert conditions you've set.
This setup ensures your trades are managed seamlessly without constant manual intervention.
----
What makes this indicator original?
Integration with PineConnector: The AutoPilot indicator's originality lies in its integration with PineConnector, which allows for real-time trade management directly from TradingView to your MetaTrader platform. This setup is unique as it combines the analytical capabilities of TradingView with the execution capabilities of MetaTrader through a custom indicator, providing a seamless bridge between analysis and action.
Market Structure-Based Trailing Stop-Loss: Unlike many indicators that might use fixed percentages or ATR (Average True Range) for stop-loss adjustments, the AutoPilot indicator uses market structure (higher highs, lower lows) to dynamically adjust the stop-loss.
Probability-Based Adjustments: The indicator doesn't just trail stop-losses based on price but incorporates the probability of market structure holding or breaking. This probability-based trailing mechanism is innovative, aiming to balance between giving trades room to breathe and tightening when market behavior suggests a potential reversal or continuation.
Customizable Automation Table: The automation table within the indicator allows for detailed customization, including setting specific comments for trades. This feature, while perhaps not unique in concept, is original in its implementation within trading indicators, providing users with a high degree of control and personalization over trade management.
Real-Time Trade Management Alerts: The ability to set up alerts directly from the indicator to manage trades in real-time via webhooks to PineConnector adds a layer of automation that's not commonly found in standard trading indicators. This real-time connection for trade management enhances its originality by reducing the lag between analysis and trade execution.
User-Centric Design: The design of the AutoPilot indicator focuses heavily on user interaction, allowing for inputs like risk per trade, specific order types, and comments. This user-centric approach, where the indicator adapts to the trader's strategy rather than the trader adapting to the tool, sets it apart.
External Integration for Enhanced Functionality: By leveraging external services like PineConnector for execution, the indicator extends its functionality beyond what's typically possible within TradingView alone, making it original in its ecosystem integration for trading purposes.
Practical Implication: This means if you're in a trade and the market structure suggests the trend is continuing (e.g., making higher highs in an uptrend), your stop-loss might trail closer to the price but not too close to avoid being stopped out by normal fluctuations. If the structure breaks (e.g., a lower high in an uptrend), the stop-loss could adjust more aggressively to protect profits or minimize losses, anticipating a potential trend change.
This combination of features creates an original tool that not only analyzes market conditions but actively manages trades based on sophisticated market structure analysis.

Crypto Liquidation HeatmapThis indicator is designed to identify potential areas of liquidations, in most crypto assets.
How does it work?
At the core of this indicator, it utilizes Open Interest (a statistic measuring the sum of all open futures positions), which I will refer to as OI.
The script monitors changes in OI, and then correlates these changes to the price action trend to derive an estimation of whether an increase in OI relates to an increase in Shorts or in Longs.
The trend is currently identified by the candle closing direction, therefore a bullish candle with increasing OI, results in the script counting an increase in Long Positions. Whereas a bearish candle and increasing OI, results in an increase of Short Positions.
Following that, the script estimates where these new positions will be liquidated (set either as a manual percentage, or using one of the defined presets).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes this indicator unique from "Liquidation Levels" scripts, is the the way it groups potential liquidation volumes in segments, creating a cumulative view of liquidity potential - a true heatmap, not simply levels. To further clarify, liquidity within a set range is added to the segment of that range. The settings allow you to set the resolution of the range, according to preference. There is also an Automatic mode (at this moment limited to Bitcoin).
Regular OI Liquidation levels do not combine their volumes when overlapped, nor do they adhere to any ranges - making them scattered and not representative of the true liquidity in that area. This Liquidation Heatmap fixes all of those limitations.
Another unique addition to this Liquidation Heatmap, is my custom three tier color gradients with alpha support (transparency). This function allows a seamless transition of the coloring in liquidation potential from purple (minimum), to blue (medium), to yellow (maximum). This allows a larger range of liquidity identification, along with further aesthetic bonuses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to use this indicator?
In general, such a tool can be used in numerous ways. It is not a standalone signal, meaning you should always compliment this tool with your own TA and reasoning.
One way of using this tool, is to anticipate that the price will continue on its trend, when you see it moving towards a zone of high liquidity (expecting that liquidity to be taken out).
Another way of using this tool, would be to anticipate a kickback after a liquidation event has taken place, thus returning to the mean.
ICT Institutional Order Flow (fadi)ICT Institutional Order Flow indicator is intended to provide wholistic view to better analyze order flow and where price may go to next. The concept follows ICT principles.
ICT Market Structure
ICT breaks down Pivot points into three categories:
Short Term High/Low (STH/STL) is a 3 candle pattern with a low with higher low on each side (STL), or a high with lower high on each side (STH)
Intermediate Term High/Low (ITH/ITL) uses the calculated STH/STL and marks any STH that has lower or STH on each side, and STL that has higher STL on each side
Long Term High/Low (LTH/LTL) uses the calculated ITH/ITL and marks any ITH that has lower or ITH on each side, and ITL that has higher ITL on each side
Note: ICT also states that if a STH wicks into and closes (almost?) a FVG, he marks it as ITH even if it does not have STH on reach side. This scenario is not covered by this indicator
Liquidity
liquidity is usually present under pivot points. The more prominent the pivot point, the more likely higher values liquidity pools reside under/above it. Liquidity under ITL and LTL as an example, will have better indication of which liquidity the price may seek next.
Displacement
Displacement registers above average move in the price resulting in strong visible move. If requiring a FVG is enabled (in settings), then the displacement could possibly (but never guaranteed) be used to visually recognize a move as it develops.
Full Credit: The calculation for Displacement is derived from TFO's Visualizing Displacement
Imbalances
Imbalances can come in different forms. This indicator identifies three type of imbalances:
1. FVG
2. Volume Imbalance
3. Open Gaps
Imbalances completes the picture by help visualize strong moves, where possible pivot points may develop, and how to enter or manage a trade.
Cuck WickAcknowledgement
This indicator is dedicated to my friend Alexandru who saved me from one of these scam cuck wicks which almost liquidated me.
Alexandru is one of the best scalpers out there and he always nails his entries at the tip of these wicks.
This inspired me to create this indicator.
What's a cuck wick?
It's that fast stop-hunting wick that cucks everyone by triggering their stop-loss and liquidation.
Liquidity is the lifeblood of stock market and liquidation is the process that moves price.
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts.
How does it work?
When market consolidates in one direction, it builds up liquidity zones.
Market maker will break out of these consolidation phases by having dramatic price action to either pump or dump to raid these liquidity zones.
This is also called stop-hunts or liquidity raids. After that it will start reversing back to the opposite direction.
This is most noticeable by the length of the wick of a given candle in a very short amount of time and the total size of the candle.
This indicator highlights them accordingly.
Settings
Wick and Candle ratio works with default values but finetune will enhance user experience and usability.
Wick Ratio: Size of the wick compared to body of a candle.
Adjust this to higher ratio on smaller timeframe or smaller ratio on bigger timeframe to your trading style to spot a trend reversal.
Candle Ratio: The size of the candle, by default it is 0.75% of the current price.
For example, if BTC is at 20,000 then the size of the candle has to be minimum 150.
This can be fine tuned to bigger candle size on higher time frames or smaller for shorter timeframe depending on the trade type.
How to use it?
This indicator will identify when a liquidity pool is getting raided to trigger buy or sell stops, they are also know as stop-hunts. It can be used of its own for scalping but there are also a good few indicators which would most definitely help to confluence bigger timeframe trades.
Scalp
This indicator shows the most chaotic moments in price action; therefore it works best on smaller timeframes, ideally 3 or 5 minute candle.
- Wait for the market to start pumping or dumping.
- Current candle will change colour (Bullish/Bearish).
- Enter trade as soon as price starts to reverse back.
- Place the stop-loss outside of the current candle.
- Wait for the cuck wick to appear as confirmation.
Price is very chaotic during a liquidity stop-hunt raid but there is a saying:
"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity" - Sun-Tzu
Since this is a very high risk, high reward strategy; it is advised to practice on paper trade first.
Practice until perfection and this indicator would be the perfect bread and butter scalp confirmation.
Fair Value Gap
FVG strategy is the most accurate in conjunction with this indicator.
Normally price would reverse after consuming fair value gaps but often it's difficult to know when and where.
This indicator would identify those crucial entry points for reverse course direction of the price action.
Support and Resistance
This indicator can also be used in conjunction with support and resistance lines.
Generally the cuck will go deep below the support or spike much further up the resistance lines to liquidate positions.
Bollinger Bands
Bolling Bands strategy would be to wait until the price breaks out of the band.
Once the wick is formed, it would be an ideal entry point.

ICT Liquidty H/L [MK]indicator shows liquidity levels at pivot highs and lows on the chart timeframe. Levels are drawn as a horizontal line up to the last active bar. Once a level has been passed through, the level is highlighted. The liquidity level will remain highlighted until a pre determined amount of bars have closed after the level was passed. These liquidity levels can be used as targets for trades, or as potential reversal points. Liquidity (or resting orders) at key pivot points form a key part of the ICT trading system. Users can configure the indicator to display the untapped liquidity levels, or they can be completely hidden until they are passed through.
Paneksu Smart Liquidity & SessionsOVERVIEW:
This indicator is designed for ICT/SMC traders. It visualizes key trading
sessions (Asia, London, New York) and automatically marks significant
High/Low liquidity pools.
KEY FEATURES:
1. Smart Liquidity: Liquidity lines extend into the future and automatically
stop drawing (cut off) once the price sweeps the level. This ensures
only untested liquidity is shown.
2. Precision Anchoring: Lines originate exactly from the pivot High/Low
timestamp for maximum accuracy on higher timeframes.
3. Main Session Focus: Allows you to hide the background box of your
active trading session for the current day to keep the chart clean,
while still showing historical data.
4. Auto-Timeframe: Visuals are automatically disabled on timeframes
higher than 5 minutes to prevent clutter.
SETTINGS:
- Main Trading Session: Select the session you trade to hide its current box.
- Show History: Toggle to keep old swept lines or show only fresh ones.

Accurate UTC offset handling
ICT Turtle SoupICT Turtle Soup identifies classic “failed breakout” reversals after liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows, then augments the setup with volume validation, market structure context, Kill Zone (session) filters, Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), OTE (61.8–78.6%) zones, and optional risk targets (SL/TP 1:1, 1:2, 1:3). A compact dashboard summarizes current context (recent high/low, lookbacks, active session, structure state, mitigation counts).
What the Script Does
⦁ Detects Turtle Soup events: Price breaks a prior swing extreme and then quickly reverses back inside the range.
⦁ Grades signal quality: Factors include reversal speed, volume confirmation, breakout magnitude, and consecutive patterns.
⦁ Overlays market context: Trend/range classification (ADX / MA / ATR Bands / Combined), Kill Zones (Asian/London/NY), and time-of-day filters.
⦁ Marks IMB / mitigation zones: Draws Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, with optional live mitigation tracking and fading/removal on mitigation.
⦁ Shows OTE zones (61.8–78.6%) after confirmed reversals to highlight potential pullback entries.
⦁ Plots risk management guides: Optional SL buffer below/above reversal wick and TP bands at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 R multiples.
⦁ Emits alerts on bullish/bearish Turtle Soup confirmations.
How It Works (Conceptual)
1. Liquidity Sweep & Breakout Check
⦁ Looks back over user-defined windows (single or multiple lookbacks: short/medium/long) to find the most recent swing high/low.
⦁ Flags a breakout when price pierces that swing (above for bearish, below for bullish).
⦁ Optional breakout bar volume check requires volume > avg(volume, N) × multiplier.
⦁ Optional swing age check requires the broken swing to be at least X bars old.
2. Reversal Confirmation
⦁ Within N bars after the sweep, validates a mean-reversion close back inside the prior range with a minimum wick/body ratio to confirm rejection.
⦁ Quality Score adds points for:
⦁ Speed: reversal within fast_reversal_bars;
⦁ Volume: breakout and/or reversal volume spike;
⦁ Series: previous consecutive signals;
⦁ Magnitude: sufficient sweep distance.
⦁ Optional high-quality filter only shows signals meeting a minimum score.
3. Context Filters (Optional)
⦁ Sessions/Kill Zones: Only allow signals in selected sessions (Asian/London/NY) with fully custom HHMM inputs.
⦁ Time Window: Restrict to specific hours (e.g., 08–12).
⦁ Market Structure: Classify Trending vs. Ranging (via ADX, MA separation/slope, ATR bands, or Combined). You can allow signals in trends, ranges, or both.
4. Smart Confluence Layers
⦁ Order Blocks: Finds likely OBs with structural validation (e.g., bearish up-candle prior to down move), imbalance score (body/range × volume factor), and extend-until-touched with mitigation % tracking.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Detects valid 3-bar gaps (bull/bear) with size threshold, supports touch / 50% / full mitigation logic, and can fade or remove after mitigation.
⦁ OTE Zones: After a reversal, projects the 61.8–78.6% retracement box from the actual swing range; offset scales to timeframe to avoid clutter.
5. Risk & Display
⦁ SL/TP guides: Optional wick-buffered SL and 1:1/1:2/1:3 TPs.
⦁ Dashboard: Recent high/low, active lookbacks, current session, structure label, and live counts of mitigated OBs/FVGs.
Signals & Visuals
⦁ Bullish Turtle Soup: Triangle up + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Bearish Turtle Soup: Triangle down + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Labels can show: quality stars, FAST/SLOW reversal, reversal & breakout volume tags, previous consecutive count, and last move %.
⦁ Lines/Boxes: OBs, FVGs, OTE zones, SL/TP bands, and optional breakout magnitude line.
Inputs (Key Groups)
⦁ Turtle Soup: Lookbacks (single or S/M/L), reversal bars, wick ratio, magnitude line, reversal speed, volume confirmation (multiplier/length), consecutive tracking.
⦁ Order Blocks: Show/validate structure, lookback, extend-until-touched, mitigation % threshold, colors.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Show, min size %, colors, mitigation mode (Touch/50%/Full), optional remove-on-mitigation.
⦁ Kill Zones/Sessions: Enable Asian/London/NY with custom HHMM, colors.
⦁ OTE: Show OTE (61.8–78.6%), color, timeframe-adaptive offsets.
⦁ Signal Filters: Filter by session, time window, market structure method (ADX/MA/ATR/Combined), thresholds (ADX, MA periods, ATR multiplier), trending/ranging allowances, structure label & offset.
⦁ SL/TP: SL buffer %, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles & colors.
⦁ Breakout Validation: Require breakout-bar volume, min swing age, volume label toggles.
⦁ Alerts: Enable/disable.
⦁ Dashboard: Position, text size, colors, border.
How to Use
1. Markets & Timeframes: Works on FX, crypto, indices, and futures. Start with M5–H1 for intraday and H1–H4 for swing; refine lookbacks per instrument volatility.
2. Core Flow:
⦁ Enable multiple lookbacks for robustness on mixed volatility.
⦁ Turn on validate_swing_significance to avoid micro sweeps.
⦁ Use validate_breakout_volume + use_volume_confirmation to filter weak pokes.
3. Context Choice:
⦁ In ranging environments, allow both sides; in trends, consider counter-trend only at HTF OB/FVG/OTE confluence.
⦁ Narrow to London/NY for higher activity if desired.
4. Entries/Stops/Targets:
⦁ Entry on confirmed label close or at OTE pullback post-signal.
⦁ SL: below/above reversal wick + sl_buffer%.
⦁ TP: scale at 1:1/1:2/1:3 or manage via OB/FVG/structure breaks.
5. Confluence: Prefer Turtle Soup that aligns with OB/FVG zones and Combined structure method for added reliability.
Alerts
⦁ “Bullish Turtle Soup detected” and “Bearish Turtle Soup detected” fire on confirmation.
⦁ Set to Once Per Bar (as coded) or adjust in the alert dialog per your workflow.
Notes & Tips
⦁ Multiple lookbacks (S/M/L) help capture both shallow and deep liquidity sweeps.
⦁ Use market structure label with offset to keep it readable on the right of price.
⦁ Mitigation tracking visually communicates when OB/FVG confluence is no longer valid.
⦁ Dashboard = fast situational awareness; keep it on during live trading.
Limitations & Disclaimer
⦁ This tool is educational and not financial advice. No profitability or win-rate is implied. Markets carry risk; manage position size and test thoroughly.
⦁ Signal quality depends on market regime, spreads, news, and data quality. Backtests/forward-tests may differ.
⦁ Visual objects are capped for performance; old items may auto-clean to keep charts responsive.
Ultimate Crypto Trend & Liquidity Screener v11. Overview & Originality
This script is an advanced, all-in-one screening tool designed specifically to identify high-potential, trend-following opportunities within the cryptocurrency market. While many screeners focus on single conditions, the "Ultimate Crypto Trend & Liquidity Screener" is original in its multi-layered approach, combining seven distinct logical checks into a single, cohesive framework.
Its primary innovation is the calculation of a "Total Score," which quantifies how well an asset conforms to the ideal characteristics of a tradable trend. This allows traders to move beyond simple binary (yes/no) filtering and instead rank the entire market to find the absolute best candidates that match their strategy.
The script is fully compatible with the TradingView Pine Screener, outputting each individual condition and the Total Score as separate columns for powerful, flexible market analysis.
2. Core Concepts & How It Works
This screener is built on the core principles of classic trend-following. It evaluates assets against a comprehensive checklist to ensure they are not only trending, but are also liquid, volatile, and at a strategic entry point.
The script systematically checks for:
Liquidity: Ensures the asset is actively traded with significant dollar volume, which is crucial for minimizing slippage. It checks both the daily turnover and the 30-day average volume.
Trend Confirmation: Utilizes a dual-moving average system (20/50 SMA default) to confirm the underlying trend direction. It also includes an optional filter to ensure the long-term moving average is actively sloping upwards, confirming trend health.
Trend Strength: Employs the Average Directional Index (ADX) to measure the strength of the trend, filtering out weak or choppy price action.
Momentum: Uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to confirm that the asset has positive momentum, as strong trends are supported by sustained buying pressure.
Volatility: Measures volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of the price. This ensures the asset has enough movement to be profitable, a key factor in the 24/7 crypto market.
Strategic Entry: Offers a user-selectable "Entry Mode." You can choose between:
Breakout Mode: Identifies assets breaking out to new highs on a surge of volume.
Pullback Mode: Identifies assets already in a strong uptrend that are experiencing a healthy dip to a key moving average, offering a potentially better risk/reward entry.
3. How to Use This Script
This indicator is designed for two primary workflows:
Single-Asset Analysis: When you apply the script to any crypto chart, a detailed diagnostic table will appear in the bottom-right corner. This table provides a real-time checklist, showing true or false for each of the 7 conditions and the final score, allowing for a quick and deep analysis of any individual asset.
Full Market Screening (Recommended):
Open the Crypto Screener on TradingView.
Click the "Filters" button and at the bottom of the menu, select this script ("Ultimate Crypto Trend & Liquidity Screener").
Click the "Columns" button on the screener and add the columns generated by this script, such as "Total Score," "Liquidity OK," "Entry Signal OK," etc.
You can now sort the entire crypto market by "Total Score" to instantly find the strongest candidates, or filter for assets that meet specific conditions (e.g., Total Score > 5 ).
4. Inputs & Customization
All parameters within this script are fully customizable via the "Settings" menu. The default values have been tuned for general use in the crypto market (e.g., faster moving averages, higher volatility thresholds), but you are encouraged to adjust them to fit your specific trading style, preferred timeframes, and risk tolerance.
5. Disclaimer
This tool is designed for educational and analytical purposes to aid in the decision-making process. It does not provide financial advice or guarantee trading success. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this screener in conjunction with your own comprehensive analysis and robust risk management practices. This script is published open-source to encourage community learning and collaboration.
Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly [BackQuant]Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Map the market’s “memory” in one glance—yesterday’s range, this week’s chosen day high/low, and D/W/M opens—then auto-clean levels once they break.
What it does
This tool plots three families of high-signal reference lines and keeps them tidy as price evolves:
Chosen Day High/Low (per week) — Pick a weekday (e.g., Monday). For each past week, the script records that day’s session high and low and projects them forward for a configurable number of bars. These act like “memory levels” that price often revisits.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Opens — Plots the opening price of each new day, week, and month with separate styling. These opens frequently behave like magnets/flip lines intraday and anchors for regime on higher timeframes.
Auto-pruning — When price breaks a stored level, the script can automatically remove it to reduce clutter and refocus you on still-active lines. See: (broken levels removed).
Why these levels matter
Liquidity pockets — Prior day’s high/low and the daily open concentrate stops and pending orders. Mapping them quickly reveals likely sweep or fade zones. Example: previous day highs + daily open highlighting liquidity:
Context & regime — Monthly opens frame macro bias; trading above a rising cluster of monthly opens vs. below gives a clean top-down read. Example: monthly-only “macro outlook” view:
Cleaner charts — Auto-remove broken lines so you focus on what still matters right now.
What it plots (at a glance)
Past Chosen Day High/Low for up to N prior weeks (your choice), extended right.
Current Daily Open , Weekly Open , and Monthly Open , each with its own color, label, and forward extension.
Optional short labels (e.g., “Mon High”) or full labels (with week/month info).
How breaks are detected & cleaned
You control both the evidence and the timing of a “break”:
Break uses — Choose Close (more conservative) or Wick (more sensitive).
Inclusive? — If enabled, equality counts (≥ high or ≤ low). If disabled, you need a strict cross.
Allow intraday breaks? — If on, a level can break during the tracked day; if off, the script only counts breaks after the session completes.
Remove Broken Levels — When a break is confirmed, the line/label is deleted automatically. (See the demo: )
Quick start
Pick a Day of Week to Track (e.g., Monday).
Set how many weeks back to show (e.g., 8–10).
Choose how far to extend each family (bars to the right for chosen-day H/L and D/W/M opens).
Decide if a break uses Close or Wick , and whether equality counts.
Toggle Remove Broken Levels to keep the chart clean automatically.
Tips by use-case
Intraday bias — Watch the Daily Open as a magnet/flip. If price gaps above and holds, pullbacks to the daily open often decide direction. Pair with last day’s high/low for sweep→reversal or true breakout cues. See:
Weekly structure — Track the week’s chosen day (e.g., Monday) high/low across prior weeks. If price stalls near a cluster of old “Monday Highs,” look for sweep/reject patterns or continuation on reclaim.
Macro regime — Hide daily/weekly lines and keep only Monthly Opens to read bigger cycles at a glance (BTC/crypto especially). Example:
Customization
Use wicks or bodies for highs/lows (wicks capture extremes; bodies are stricter).
Line style & thickness — solid/dashed/dotted, width 1–5, plus global transparency.
Labels — Abbreviated (“Mon High”, “D Open”) or full (month/week/day info).
Color scheme — Separate colors for highs, lows, and each of D/W/M opens.
Capacity controls — Set how many daily/weekly/monthly opens and how many weeks of chosen-day H/L to keep visible.
What’s under the hood
On your selected weekday, the script records that session’s true high and true low (using wicks or body-based extremes—your choice), then projects a horizontal line forward for the next bars.
At each new day/week/month , it records the opening price and projects that line forward as well.
Each bar, the script checks your “break” rules; once broken, lines/labels are removed if auto-cleaning is on.
Everything updates in real time; past levels don’t repaint after the session finishes.
Recommended presets
Day trading — Weeks back: 6–10; extend D/W opens: 50–100 bars; Break uses: Close ; Inclusive: off; Auto-remove: on.
Swing — Fewer daily opens, more weekly opens (2–6), and 8–12 weeks of chosen-day H/L.
Macro — Show only Monthly Opens (1–6 months), dashed style, thicker lines for clarity.
Reading the examples
Broken lines disappear — decluttering in action:
Macro outlook — monthly opens as cycle rails:
Liquidity map — previous day highs + daily open:
Final note
These are not “signals”—they’re reference points that many participants watch. By standardising how you draw them and automatically clearing the ones that no longer matter, you turn a noisy chart into a focused map: where liquidity likely sits, where price memory lives, and which lines are still in play.

[AlbaTherium] OptiStruct™ Premium for Smart Money Concepts An Insight into Structure Mapping and Order Block Identification with Smart Money Concepts
Introduction:
Structure Mapping & Demands and Supplies Premium serves as a fundamental pillar in the realm of Smart Money Concepts . This indicator adeptly charts the market structure based on a refined version of SMC while identifying Order Blocks. All the concepts embedded in this method are meticulously defined, offering users the ability to chart the market structure with precision and heightened confidence. With this indicator, there is no need for excessive questioning of the accuracy of your markings; it diligently strives to perform this task effectively. There are no hidden 'magic' properties underlying this indicator, ensuring that our users can independently verify each and every feature. It is this commitment to transparency that sets us apart and makes us unique in the market.
In this discussion, we delve into the intricacies of Break of Structure, Change of Character , and SMART MONEY TRAP . We also introduce the concepts of Extreme Order Blocks, Decisional Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
Chapter 1: Understanding Structure Mapping:
Let's begin with some definitions:
- Inside bars are candles that lie within the range of a preceding candle.
- Pullbacks occur in an uptrend when the low of a preceding candle's range (excluding inside bars ) is breached, and the price continues to rise.
- Inducements (IDM) are price levels defined as the low of the latest pullback before the most recent high. They often act as liquidity points that the market revisits before continuing its move.
Break of Structure (BoS):
In an uptrend, after surpassing an IDM , the most recent high becomes a Confirmed structure high, or a Major High . If the price then closes above this Major High, a Bullish Break of Structure (Bullish BoS) is confirmed. Similarly, the lowest point between these movements becomes a Confirmed structure low or Major Low in a downtrend.
Change of Character (ChoCh):
In an uptrend, if the price falls below a Major Low, it indicates a shift in market bias from Bullish to Bearish, or a Bearish Change of Character .
Example of a bullish ChoCh:
Chapter 2: The Significance of Order Blocks:
Order Blocks (OB) play a pivotal role in Smart Money Concepts during entry points. Understanding what they represent and how to identify them is essential. For a Bullish/Bearish Order Block to be confirmed, specific conditions, including price imbalance and breaching the previous candle's high or low, must be met. We will delve into the finer details of identifying and trading Order Blocks, with an emphasis on the fact that price often reacts from Decisional Order Blocks, Extreme Order Blocks , and Smart Money Trap Order Blocks .
An OB is the initial candle range of a pullback that creates a Fair value gap.
These are zones where proactive traders enter the market, resulting in significant price changes indicated by Fair value gaps. It is believed that when the price revisits these zones in the future, it tends to bounce back. This property makes Order Blocks excellent potential entry points.
Order Blocks are categorized as follows:
- Extreme OB : The first and lowest OB between the Major Low and Major High.
- Decisional OB : The most recent OB lower than the current IDM.
- Smart Money Traps : All OBs between Extreme and Decisional OB.
- Demand above IDM / Supply below IDM
Chapter 3: Understanding SMART MONEY TRAP (SMT):
SMART MONEY TRAP is a concept that brings clarity to the distinction between Structure and Order Blocks within Smart Money Concepts and is a unique feature of this indicator. While many Smart Money Traders base their trades on Structure and Order Blocks, it's crucial to recognize that Order Blocks serve as an additional confirmation for buy or sell decisions. Blindly trading based on Order Blocks is not advisable. Instead, traders should exercise patience and await other confirmations like inducement or Liquidity sweep before executing trades on Order Blocks. We will illustrate how this concept works in practice.
In the example above, the market made a high wick up, taking out the buy-side liquidity, then made a bearish ChoCh. We place our sell order on the order block above IDM. This presents a promising trading opportunity, with a stop loss placed above the OB and a take profit set at the low of previous structure.

SPX Fair Value Bands V2An updated version of the SPX Fair Value Bands script from dharmatech and based on the net liquidity concept by MaxJAnderson .
Now with full customization of parameters through the settings (Dialog Box) and allowing the options to the use of
1) Standard Bands based on Offsets of the Fair Value
2) Bollinger Bands
3) Keltner Channels
to better capture buy/sell areas rather than relying on noisy unreliably (and unevenly) updated data from the Treasury/Fed.
==================================
Net Liquidity's importance in the new post-COVID QE to QT regime as described MaxJAnderson
----------------
" In past cycles, size of Fed's balance sheet changed a lot, while TGA and RRP changed relatively little. So size of balance sheet roughly equated Net Liquidity.
(The Treasury General Account) TGA and (Reverse Repo) RRP didn't matter. They were rounding errors by comparison.
But starting in 2020, relative changes in TGA and RRP have been THREE TIMES LARGER than the change in size of the Fed's balance sheet. As result, changes in TGA and RRP have taken over as the primary drivers Net Liquidity.
This is new, and changes the game significantly. Again - the size of the Fed's balance sheet doesn't matter.
What matters is the portion of it that's available to circulate in the economy (Net Liquidity).
And ever since 2020, the Treasury and Reverse Repo have become what controls that. Not the size of Fed's balance sheet.
----------------
The idea that follows is simple,short when $SPX reaches extreme levels of overvaluation, and close out when SPX returns to being undervalued. Here's the formulas I currently use to determine fair value:
Fair Value = (Fed Bal Sheet - TGA - RRP)/1.1 - 1625
And here's the trading rules I currently follow:
Short when diff of $SPX - Fair Value > 350
Close when diff of $SPX - Fair Value < 150
When one of these rules is triggered upon market close on a given day, trades are entered at open of the following day "
Smart Money Concepts [Kodexius]Smart Money Concepts is a price action framework designed to integrate market structure, liquidity behavior, and inefficiencies into a single, readable view. Rather than acting as a signal generator, it serves as a live market map highlighting where price has displaced, where liquidity may be resting, which zones remain valid, and how that context updates as new candles print.
What separates this script from typical “SMC bundles” is not the presence of familiar concepts like swings, order blocks, FVGs or liquidity sweeps. The value is in the engine design and how the components are maintained together as a consistent state, with automatic pruning and prioritization so the chart stays usable over time. Many tools can draw boxes, but fewer tools manage the lifecycle of those zones, reduce overlap, rank relevance, and keep the display focused on what still matters near current price.
At the core is a structure model that tracks directional state and labels structural transitions as they happen. CHoCH and BoS are not just printed whenever price crosses a line. Each event is anchored to a swing reference and handled in a way that reduces repeated triggers from the same context, helping you see genuine transitions versus minor noise. This gives structure a “narrative” across time instead of a cluttered sequence of identical labels.
Order blocks are built from the most relevant candle within the post break window and displayed as true zones that extend forward while they remain valid. Beyond the zone itself, the script adds context that is usually missing in basic OB implementations: a volumetric pressure visualization and a displacement strength score that is normalized and ranked over a rolling window. In practice, this creates an information hierarchy. You can quickly see which zones carried more participation, whether the internal push was dominated by buying or selling pressure, and whether the move that created the zone had meaningful displacement relative to recent history. This is designed to help prioritization, not to claim prediction.
Imbalances are handled as a dedicated module with multiple detection modes (FVG, VI, OG, IFVG) and optional MTF logic so you can map inefficiencies from a higher timeframe while executing on a lower timeframe. Each imbalance is displayed as a zone with a midline reference, and mitigation behavior can be tuned (wick or close). IFVG adds lifecycle depth by tracking inversion behavior rather than simply deleting the zone, which can be useful for monitoring how price rebalances and flips inefficiencies over time. An optional sentiment style internal fill is available for visual context, but it is intentionally framed as informational rather than a “buy/sell meter.”
Liquidity is treated as an event driven layer. Pivot highs and lows are tracked as potential liquidity pools, then monitored for sweeps and rejection behavior. If you enable EQH/EQL logic, the script can label equal highs and lows during the sweep process to highlight common resting liquidity formations. A volume filter is available to reduce low quality levels, aiming to keep the liquidity map focused on swings that occurred with meaningful participation rather than every small fluctuation.
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP) are included as a separate confirmation style tool that focuses on rejection after liquidity is taken. The module supports optional volume validation using lower timeframe volume distribution outside the swing level, which helps filter some low quality SFPs on noisy instruments. The output is a cleaner set of events intended to complement structure, liquidity and zones, not replace discretionary decision making.
For higher timeframe context, the HTF candle projection panel can display a compact set of higher timeframe candles to the right of current price, with classic or Heikin Ashi style and configurable sizing, spacing and labels. This allows you to maintain HTF awareness without switching charts, which is especially helpful when structure and zones are being interpreted across multiple timeframes.
Finally, the alert framework is designed around well defined structural and zone states. Alerts cover structural shifts (CHoCH, BoS), liquidity sweeps, new and broken order blocks, breaker behavior (if enabled), new and approached imbalances, premium and discount entries, trendline events, and SFP detection. These alerts are intended as monitoring prompts so you can review context, not as automated trade execution signals.
Every major component is modular and configurable. You can run a minimal structure only layout or enable a full framework with zones, imbalances, liquidity, SFP and HTF projection. The guiding principle is chart clarity and relevance: keep the most important information visible, reduce overlap and stale objects, and maintain a consistent view of how price is interacting with liquidity and value over time.
🔹 Features
🔸 Market Structure Engine (CHoCH and BoS)
This script automatically tracks zigzag based market structure and differentiates between:
CHoCH (Change of Character) : the first meaningful structural shift that suggests the prior directional leg is weakening.
BoS (Break of Structure) : continuation breaks that confirm structure extension in the active direction.
Instead of relying on plain pivot dots, our market structure swings are built with a lightweight zigzag style engine that tracks direction and “locks in” the true leg extreme only when the leg flips. This produces cleaner, more consistent swing highs/lows for BOS/CHoCH than simple left/right pivot checks.
Bullish CHoCH:
Bearish CHoCH:
Bullish BoS:
Bearish BoS:
🔸 Order Blocks with Volumetric and Displacement Insight
The script identifies recent bullish and bearish order block zones around meaningful structural reactions and keeps the display focused on the most relevant areas. Instead of drawing a static rectangle and leaving it there forever, each zone is maintained as an active region on the chart and can be limited by a user defined visibility depth to avoid clutter. When enabled, the overlay also adds compact volume based context inside the block so you can quickly compare relative participation between recent zones and see whether the origin move showed strong follow through versus a softer transition. The intention is to provide structured context and cleaner prioritization on the chart, not to present a trade call or a guaranteed reaction level.
Bullish Order Block:
Bearish Order Block:
Order blocks are derived from the structure shifts, marking the institutional “origin zone” behind a decisive move and projecting it forward as a live area of interest. In practice, it highlights the candle cluster where price last rebalanced before expanding away, so you can track potential retests with context instead of guessing.
Inside each order block, the internal bars act as a compact strength meter green vs red summarizes the relative bullish vs bearish participation, while the blue segment reflects the “departure force” (displacement/momentum) away from the zone. It’s meant to help you scan which blocks left clean and strong versus those that moved out more slowly or with mixed pressure.
🔸 Breaker Blocks & Mitigation Tracking
Tracks when previously identified order blocks fail and converts them into breaker blocks, visually marking a change in how price is interacting with that zone.
Bullish Breaker Block :
Bearish Breaker Block :
Separate handling of bullish and bearish breakers with clear color differentiation.
Includes optional “mitigation” logic using either wick or close to determine when a block is considered broken or mitigated.
Breaker blocks are updated and removed dynamically as price trades through them, keeping the chart focused on current, active zones.
🔸 Imbalances
The imbalance module maps common price inefficiencies as zones, with support for multiple detection styles such as Fair Value Gaps, volume style imbalances, opening gaps, and an inverted gap mode. Each imbalance is drawn as a practical area on the chart with a midpoint reference, so you can quickly see where price may be revisiting unbalanced movement. You can also choose how mitigation is evaluated (wick or close) and optionally run imbalance detection on a separate timeframe for cleaner higher timeframe context while staying on your execution chart.
Fair Value Gaps:
Inverse Fair Value Gaps:
Opening Gaps:
🔸 Liquidity Sweeps, EQH/EQL, and Optional Volume Filter
Liquidity levels are derived from swing highs and lows and then monitored for sweep behavior, where price trades beyond a prior level and rejects back. If you enable EQH/EQL marking, the script can highlight equal highs and equal lows behavior around those liquidity areas to make common pool formations easier to spot. An optional volume filter can be used to reduce tracking of low participation swings, helping keep the liquidity layer focused and less noisy on instruments that produce frequent small pivots.
Sellside Liquidity Sweep Definition:
Buyside Liquidity Sweep Definition:
Highlights equal highs (EQH) and equal lows (EQL) when sweeps occur, marking where price probed above/below prior liquidity and then rejected.
Optional volume filter to ignore low volume swings and focus on more meaningful liquidity zones.
🔸 Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium
The premium and discount view provides a simple contextual map of where price is trading within a measured range, alongside an optional equilibrium line as a midpoint reference. This is intended as a higher level framing tool to help you avoid treating every price location the same, especially when combining structure with reaction zones. Price labels can be enabled for quick orientation, and the display updates as the underlying range evolves.
Projects premium and discount bands based on a dynamically measured range, offering a simple view of where price is trading relative to that range.
Draws separate Premium and Discount boxes with optional price labels for quick orientation.
Optional mid line (equilibrium) to visualize the “50%” of the current range, often used as a reference for balanced versus extended price.
Zones auto update as the underlying range evolves, with logic to prevent stale levels from cluttering the chart.
🔸 Trend Channels
When enabled, the trend module draws swing based diagonal structure using trendlines and a channel style visualization. You can tune sensitivity and choose whether the source should be depending on how you prefer to read trend behavior. The channel is maintained dynamically so you can keep directional context without manually drawing and constantly adjusting diagonal lines, and the script can highlight basic break behavior when price pushes beyond the active diagonal reference.
🔸 Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) Detector
The SFP module highlights common swing failure behavior, where price briefly trades beyond a swing level and then reclaims it, often reflecting a liquidity grab followed by rejection. Bullish and bearish SFPs can be enabled independently, and the display is designed to keep the key level and the rejection visible without excessive clutter. Optional volume validation can be used as a filter, so you can choose whether you want the detector to be more permissive or more selective based on participation characteristics.
🔸 HTF Candle Projection Panel
The HTF panel projects a compact set of higher timeframe candles to the right of price, giving you higher timeframe context without switching charts. You can select classic candles or Heikin Ashi style, adjust the scale and spacing, and optionally display reference lines and labels for OHLC values. This is a visual context tool intended to support multi timeframe reading, not a replacement for your own higher timeframe analysis.
In addition to projecting higher timeframe candles, the HTF panel can also detect and visualize higher timeframe liquidity sweeps directly within the projected candle set. The script monitors each completed HTF candle’s high and low and evaluates subsequent HTF candles for sweep behavior i.e., when price briefly trades beyond a prior HTF extreme but fails to hold acceptance beyond it (filtered using the later candle’s body positioning). When a sweep is detected, the panel draws a dotted sweep line and marks the event, allowing you to spot HTF stop runs and failed breaks without switching timeframes. Sweeps are dynamically invalidated if a later HTF candle shows genuine acceptance beyond that level, ensuring the display stays context relevant and avoids stale markings. This turns the HTF projection from a passive visualization into an actionable context layer for identifying HTF liquidity events while executing on lower timeframes.
🔸 Alerts
Alerts are included for the most practical events produced by the overlay, such as structure shifts (CHoCH and BoS), liquidity sweeps, new and invalidated zones, price approaching recent zones, imbalance creation and mitigation, premium or discount entries, trendline events, and SFP detections. The alerts are designed to function as a monitoring layer so you can be notified when something changes in your mapped context, rather than acting as standalone trade instructions.
🔸 Originality & Usefulness
This script is not a collection of separate SMC drawings layered on top of price. It is built as a unified price action engine where market structure, order blocks, inefficiencies, and liquidity are produced from the same evolving state. That matters because most SMC indicators treat these concepts as independent overlays, which often leads to contradictory markings and excessive clutter. Here, the design priority is consistency and readability: modules update in sync, older elements are managed, and the chart stays usable during live conditions.
A key differentiator is the internal swing logic, which functions like a compact zigzag style structure engine. Instead of reacting to every minor fluctuation, it aims to focus on meaningful swing decisions and treat structure as a sequence. This reduces repetitive labeling and makes structural transitions easier to follow. Structure events are anchored to the swing that defined them and are designed to trigger in a clean, non spammy way, which is critical for anyone who uses structure as a workflow backbone.
The structure layer is intentionally narrative oriented. It separates a transition event from continuation events, so CHoCH is used to highlight the first meaningful shift after an established leg, while BoS is used to mark follow through in the same direction. This is not a prediction claim. It is a clarity feature that helps users read “phase changes” versus “continuation” without constantly second guessing whether the script is just printing noise.
Order blocks are where this script becomes especially distinctive compared to typical SMC tools. Instead of drawing identical rectangles, each block is rendered with an internal gauge that communicates participation and directional dominance at a glance. The zone is visually segmented to reflect bullish and bearish pressure components, and it also carries a volume readout plus a relative weight compared to other recent blocks. This creates a ranked view of blocks rather than an unfiltered pile. In practice, you can prioritize zones faster because the script surfaces which blocks had more meaningful participation and whether the internal push looked one sided or mixed. The result is less subjective filtering and a cleaner chart.
Imbalances are handled as structured inefficiency zones with clear references and optional context. Beyond drawing the zone and midpoint, the script can overlay a sentiment style gauge that divides the imbalance into bullish and bearish portions and updates as new data comes in. The practical value is that you can see whether an inefficiency remains strongly one sided or is gradually being balanced. This turns imbalances from static boxes into a living context layer, which is particularly useful when you monitor reactions over time instead of treating every touch the same.
Liquidity is treated as an event driven tracking system rather than simple pivot plotting. Liquidity pools are identified from swing behavior and can be gated through a participation filter so the script focuses on levels that formed with meaningful activity rather than low quality noise. Once tracked, levels are monitored for outcomes like sweeps and equal high/low behavior, and then updated or retired when they are decisively resolved. This prevents the display from accumulating stale levels and keeps the liquidity layer focused on what is still relevant now.
Swing failure patterns are integrated as selective events rather than continuous spam. The intent is to produce fewer but more structurally meaningful SFPs, aligned with the liquidity narrative, instead of printing clusters around the same price area. This keeps the pattern readable and reinforces the “event based” design philosophy across the script.
Higher timeframe context is supported through a compact HTF projection panel that provides quick orientation without forcing constant timeframe switching. It lets you see where current price action sits inside a larger timeframe candle and range, which helps maintain consistency when you are executing on a lower timeframe but respecting higher timeframe structure.

🔹 How to Use
This tool is designed to support multiple trading styles, but it is most effective when you treat it as a top down mapping and decision support tool. A practical workflow looks like this.
1) Establish higher timeframe bias and context
Start on your reference timeframe such as H4 or Daily and read the market’s dominant story first. Use the Market Structure Engine to identify whether the market is in continuation mode or transition mode. The goal is to avoid executing lower timeframe ideas that conflict with the larger structure narrative.
Use the HTF Candle Projection Panel as a fast orientation aid. It helps you judge whether current price is building acceptance near the highs of the larger candle, rotating back toward its open, or rejecting from its extremes. This is especially useful when you execute on lower timeframes but want to stay aligned with higher timeframe positioning.
Add Premium and Discount framing to understand location. When price is trading in premium, continuation longs are often more selective and require stronger confirmation, while shorts may have better location if structure supports it. When price is in discount, the opposite applies. Treat this as location context, not a rule.
2) Map your key reaction zones with prioritization
Next, build your map of where reactions are most likely to occur. Enable Order Blocks with Volumetric Insight to highlight the most relevant origin zones that form after important structure events. Keep your focus on the most recent blocks and adjust the visible depth so the chart stays clean.
Use the internal gauge and participation readouts to prioritize. Instead of treating every zone as equal, treat higher participation blocks as primary candidates and lower participation blocks as secondary. The bullish and bearish split inside the gauge helps you quickly judge whether the zone formed from a clearly one sided push or a more mixed move, which can inform how strict you want to be with confirmation on a retest.
If you use Breaker Blocks, treat them as role shift zones. They are especially useful when the market has clearly transitioned and you want to track where a previously defended origin area may become a meaningful retest level later.
3) Layer in inefficiencies only where they add clarity
If your workflow includes imbalances, add them selectively to avoid visual overload. Use Fair Value Gaps, Volume Imbalances, or Opening Gaps as secondary reaction areas that often sit inside, near, or between larger zones.
If you enable the internal sentiment gauge, read it as context rather than a signal. It is meant to help you see whether the imbalance remains one sided or has started to balance out as price develops. A strongly one sided presentation can support the idea of continuation through the zone, while a more balanced presentation can support the idea of deeper mitigation or chop. Use it to refine expectations, not to force entries.
4) Track liquidity as events, not as static levels
Enable Liquidity Sweeps and EQH/EQL tagging to highlight where resting liquidity is likely concentrated and when it gets taken. The main value here is narrative: you can see when price runs obvious highs or lows and whether it immediately rejects back into structure or accepts beyond the level.
If you use the volume filter, treat it as a quality gate. The point is to ignore small, low participation swings and keep the liquidity layer focused on levels that formed with meaningful activity. This tends to reduce noise and makes sweeps and equal level behavior more relevant.
Combine the liquidity layer with the Swing Failure Pattern detector to isolate moments where liquidity is taken and then rejected. The cleanest use is when SFPs occur at or near your pre mapped reaction zones, after a sweep, and in alignment with your higher timeframe bias.
5) Refine execution timing on your entry timeframe
Drop to your execution timeframe and use local structure shifts as timing tools. CHoCH and BoS on the lower timeframe can help you see when micro structure is flipping in your intended direction after price interacts with your mapped zone.
If you use the Trend Channel framework, treat it as diagonal context rather than strict support and resistance. A channel helps you see where price is riding the trend and where it is deviating. This can help you time entries by waiting for price to re enter the corridor, show rejection near a boundary, or confirm a shift by building structure outside the channel.
A common practical sequence is: price reaches a mapped OB or imbalance area, liquidity gets taken, price rejects, micro structure begins to flip, and then you execute with your own confirmation and risk rules. The tool helps you see each step clearly, but your plan determines what is sufficient confirmation.
6) Use alerts as monitoring, not as standalone signals
Set alerts only for events that are meaningful to your workflow, such as:
-fresh CHoCH or BoS in your preferred direction
-new or invalidated order blocks and breaker blocks
-price approaching the most recent priority zones
-liquidity sweeps and EQH/EQL interactions
-new SFP events
-entry into premium or discount and interaction with HTF projection levels
-imbalance creation, mitigation, or approach
Treat alerts as prompts to check the chart, not as automatic entries or exits. This script is designed as a mapping and decision support tool. Trade execution, confirmation, and risk management remain entirely dependent on your own strategy and discretion.
🔴 Price Action Practical Notes
💠 Market structure
Market structure is the framework used to describe how price organizes itself into swings. It is built from successive swing highs and swing lows, and it is used to decide whether the market is expanding upward, expanding downward, or transitioning. A practical structure model focuses on “meaningful” turning points rather than every minor fluctuation, because the goal is to capture intent and flow, not noise.
💠 Swing highs and swing lows
A swing high is a local peak where price stops advancing and begins to rotate lower, while a swing low is a local trough where selling pressure pauses and price rotates higher. Swings matter because many traders anchor risk, liquidity, and entries around them. The stronger the reaction away from a swing, the more likely it is to be referenced again as a decision point.
💠 Break of structure
A break of structure is the event where price decisively exceeds a prior swing in the direction of the prevailing move. In practice, it is used as confirmation that a directional leg is still active and that liquidity resting beyond the swing has been taken. This concept is less about predicting and more about validating continuation.
💠 Change of character
A change of character is a structural break that signals transition rather than continuation. Instead of breaking a swing in the same direction as the recent trend, price breaks a key swing in the opposite direction, suggesting that control may be shifting. It is often treated as an early warning that the market may be moving from continuation into reversal or deeper pullback conditions.
💠 Order blocks
An order block is commonly described as the last opposing candle or consolidation zone that precedes a strong directional expansion. The idea is that this area represents a footprint of aggressive execution and unfilled interest. When price revisits it later, it can act as a reaction zone because participants who missed the move may defend it, or because remaining orders may still exist there.
💠 Mitigation and invalidation of a zone
Mitigation describes the process of price returning to a zone and “consuming” the remaining interest there. A zone is typically considered invalidated when price trades through it in a way that implies the resting orders were absorbed and the area no longer has protective value. Some approaches treat a wick through the boundary as enough to invalidate, while others require a candle close beyond the boundary to confirm that the level has truly failed.
💠 Breaker blocks
A breaker block is an order block concept that changes role after being invalidated. When a previously respected zone fails, it can later become a reaction area in the opposite direction because trapped participants may use the retest to exit, or because the market may recognize it as a new supply or demand reference. Breakers are often treated as “failed zones that become liquidity magnets” and are closely watched on retests.
💠 Liquidity and liquidity pools
Liquidity is the availability of resting orders that allow large transactions to execute with minimal slippage. In chart terms, liquidity pools often form around obvious swing highs and lows, equal highs and lows, and clear ranges. These areas attract price because they contain clustered stops and entries that can be used to fuel continuation or trigger reversals through rapid order flow shifts.
💠 Liquidity sweeps
A liquidity sweep is a move where price briefly trades beyond a known liquidity pool and then returns back inside, often closing back within the prior range. The concept implies that stops were triggered and liquidity was captured, but that continuation beyond the swept level did not sustain. Sweeps are frequently used as context for reversals or for confirming that a “cleanout” occurred before a directional move.
💠 Equal highs and equal lows
Equal highs and equal lows describe repeated swing levels that form a flat or nearly flat top or bottom. They matter because they concentrate liquidity. Many traders place stops just beyond these repeated levels, and many breakout traders place entries around them. The result is a dense cluster of orders that can be targeted efficiently by price.
💠Imbalances and inefficiencies
Imbalances represent zones where price moved so quickly that it left behind inefficient trading, meaning fewer transactions occurred in that region compared to surrounding areas. The underlying idea is that markets often revisit these areas to rebalance, fill gaps, or complete unfinished business. Imbalances are treated as areas of interest for pullback entries, targets, or reaction zones.
💠 Fair value gap
A fair value gap is a specific form of imbalance commonly framed as a three candle displacement that leaves a gap between candles, indicating rapid repricing. Traders use it as a proxy for inefficiency: if price returns, it may partially or fully fill the gap before continuing. The midpoint of the gap is often treated as a particularly relevant reference, but whether price respects it depends on context.
💠 Inverted fair value gap
An inverted fair value gap is the idea that once an imbalance is “broken” in a meaningful way, the zone can flip its behavior. Instead of acting like a supportive zone, it may become resistive (or vice versa) on a later retest. Conceptually, this is similar to role reversal: what once behaved as a continuation aid can become a rejection zone after failure.
💠 Premium, discount, and equilibrium
Premium and discount describe where price sits relative to a defined recent range. Premium is the upper portion of that range and discount is the lower portion. Equilibrium is the midpoint. The concept is mainly used to align trade direction with location: buying is generally more attractive in discount and selling is generally more attractive in premium, assuming you are trading mean reversion within a range or seeking favorable risk placement within a broader trend.
💠 Swing failure pattern
A swing failure pattern is a reversal archetype where price breaks a known swing level, fails to hold beyond it, and returns back through the level. The logic is that the breakout attempt attracted orders and triggered stops, but the market rejected the extension. SFPs are often considered higher quality when the failure is followed by a decisive move away and when it aligns with a broader liquidity narrative.
💠 Higher timeframe context
Higher timeframe context means framing intraday or lower timeframe signals within the structure of a larger timeframe. This can include aligning trades with higher timeframe swings, using higher timeframe candles as reference for open/high/low behavior, and avoiding taking counter trend signals when the larger timeframe is strongly directional. The purpose is to improve signal quality by ensuring the smaller timeframe idea is not fighting a dominant larger flow.
💠 Trend channels
A trend channel is a structured way to visualize a market’s directional “lane” by framing price between two roughly parallel boundaries. The central idea is that trending price action often oscillates in a repeatable corridor: pullbacks tend to stall around one side of the lane, while impulses tend to extend toward the opposite side. Instead of treating trend as a single line, a channel treats trend as an area, which better reflects real market behavior where reactions occur in zones rather than at perfect prices.
A channel typically has three functional references: a guiding line that represents the prevailing slope, an upper boundary that approximates where bullish expansions tend to stretch before mean reversion, and a lower boundary that approximates where bearish pullbacks tend to terminate before continuation. The space between boundaries represents the market’s accepted path. When price stays inside this corridor, the trend is considered healthy. When price repeatedly fails to progress within it, the trend is weakening.
Channels are commonly used for timing and location. In an uptrend channel, pullbacks into the lower portion of the corridor are often treated as higher quality “location” for continuation attempts, while pushes into the upper portion are treated as extension territory where risk of a pause or retracement increases. In a downtrend channel, the logic is mirrored: rallies into the upper portion are often treated as sell side location, and moves into the lower portion are treated as extension territory. The channel does not predict direction by itself; it provides a disciplined map for where continuation is more likely versus where momentum is more likely to cool.
A key concept is acceptance versus deviation. If price briefly pierces a boundary and snaps back inside, that is often interpreted as a deviation, meaning the market tested outside the lane but did not accept it. If price holds outside the corridor and begins to build new swings there, that suggests acceptance and a potential regime change: either a new channel with a different slope, a shift into range, or a broader reversal context. This is why channels are most useful when you treat them as a framework for evaluating behavior, not as rigid support and resistance.
