Implied Orderblock Breaker (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Implied Order Block Breaker (Zeiierman) is a tool designed to identify enhanced order blocks with imbalances. These enhanced order blocks represent areas where there is a rapid price movement. Essentially, this indicator uses order blocks and suggests that a swift price movement away from these levels, breaking the current market structure, could indicate an area that the market has not correctly valued. This technique offers traders a unique method to identify potential market inefficiencies and imbalances, serving as a guide for potential price revisits.
The indicator doesn't scan for imbalances in the traditional sense — where there's an absence of trades between two price levels — but instead, it identifies quick movements away from key levels that suggest where an imbalance might exist. Relying on crossovers and cross-unders in conjunction with pivot points and examining the high/low within the same period provides an innovative method for traders to spot these potentially undervalued or overvalued areas in the market. These inferred imbalances can be crucial for traders looking for price levels where the market might make significant moves.
█ How It Works
Bullish
Crossover: The closing price of a bar crosses above a pivot high, which is an indication that buyers are in control and pushing the price upwards.
New Low Within Period: There is a lower low within the same period as the pivot high. This suggests that after setting a high, the market pulled back to set a new low, potentially leaving a price gap on the way up as the price quickly recovers.
Bearish
Crossunder: The closing price of a bar crosses under a pivot low, indicating that sellers are taking control and driving the price down.
New High Within Period: There is a higher high within the same period as the pivot low. This condition suggests that the market rallied to a new high before falling back below the pivot low, potentially leaving a gap on the way down.
█ How to Use
The enhanced order blocks are often revisited, and the price may aim to 'fill' the potential imbalance created by the rapid price movement, thereby presenting traders with potential entry or exit points. This approach aligns with the idea that imbalances are frequently revisited by the market, and when combined with the context of Order Blocks, it provides even more confluence.
Example
Here, if the price drops rapidly after setting a new high—crossing under the pivot low—it may skip over certain price levels, creating a 'gap' that signifies an area where the price might have been overvalued (imbalance), which the market may revisit for a potential price correction or revaluation.
█ Settings
Period: Determines the number of bars used for identifying pivot highs and lows. A higher value gives more significant but less frequent signals, while a lower value increases sensitivity but might give more false positives.
Pivot Surrounding: Specifies the number of candles to analyze around a pivot point. Increasing this value broadens the analysis range, potentially capturing more setups but possibly including less significant ones.

Cast ForwardThis indicator will not forecast price action. It will not predict price movement nor will it in any way predict the outcome of any trade you may take. This is not a signal for buying or selling. You must do your own back testing and analysis for trading.
Time and price are the two most important components of market data. Where was price at what time? To help visualize this question I created this indicator. It allows for the previous session data to be overlayed onto the chart offset forward 24 hours. What this means is that you have the high, (high/low)/2, and low of each candle plotted on top of your chart for the time frame of the current chart, but offset so that the data from the current candle has the data from the corresponding candle 24 hours prior lined up on the x-axis.
SMA Logic: I used the SMA (Simple Moving Average) function with a length of 1 to plot the data points without any smoothing to give the true values of the data.
For Intraday Charting
For Electronic Trading Hours:
In order to line up the data correctly, for intraday charts, I used the current chart timeframe and divided it into 1380 (number of minutes in the 23 hour futures market trading day) to set the data offset. Using the same math logic, this indicator also gives the correct correlated data on the 30 second time frame. If the chart time frame that is currently being used does not allow for correct data correlation (not a factor of 1380) it will not plot the data.
For Regular Trading Hours:
In order to line up the data correctly, for intraday charts, I used the current chart timeframe and divided it into 405 (number of minutes in the 6 hour 45 minutes New York regular session trading day, including the 15 minute settlement time) to set the data offset. This indicator also gives the correct correlated data on the 30 second time frame. If the chart time frame that is currently being used does not allow for correct data correlation (not a factor of 405) it will not plot the data.
For the Daily Chart:
This indicator plots a visualization of the 20-40-60 day IPDA data range; (The IPDA data range helps traders identify liquidity, price gaps, and equilibrium points in the market, providing insights for optimal trade entries and market structure shifts). It does this using the same SMA logic as the intraday plot. What this means is it offsets the historical data of the daily chart 20, 40, or 60 bars forward. You can plot any combination of the three on the chart at one time, but these will not show on the intraday chart. This allows for visualization of where the market will possibly seek liquidity, seek to rebalance, or seek equilibrium in the future.

Volume Delta CandlesThis indicator is designed to visualize the volume delta, which represents the difference between buying and selling volumes during each candle period. The indicator plots custom candlesticks on the chart, with OHLC values calculated based on the volume delta.
Calculations:
To calculate the volume delta, the indicator first determines the buying and selling volumes. If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is considered as buying volume. If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is considered as selling volume. Otherwise, the volume is set to zero. The volume delta is then calculated as the difference between the buying volume and the selling volume.
The custom OHLC values are derived from the volume delta. The custom open is obtained by subtracting the volume delta from the closing price. The custom close is obtained by adding the volume delta to the closing price. The custom high is set as the maximum value between the closing price and the custom open, ensuring that the candle represents the highest value within the range. The custom low is set as the minimum value between the closing price and the custom open, ensuring that the candle represents the lowest value within the range.
Interpretation:
The indicator's custom candles provide visual insights into the volume delta. Each candlestick's color (lime for positive volume delta, fuchsia for negative volume delta) indicates the dominance of buying or selling pressure during that period. When the volume delta is positive, it suggests that buying volume exceeded selling volume, possibly indicating a bullish sentiment. Conversely, when the volume delta is negative, it indicates that selling volume was higher, potentially signaling a bearish sentiment. The indicator also plots a zero line to represent the equilibrium point, where buying and selling volumes are equal.
Potential Uses and Limitations:
Traders can use the indicator to gain insights into the strength and direction of buying and selling pressures. Positive volume delta during an uptrend could suggest the presence of strong buying interest, potentially supporting further bullish moves. On the other hand, negative volume delta during a downtrend could indicate intensified selling pressure, hinting at potential further declines. Traders might use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trendlines, or oscillators, to confirm potential reversal points or trend continuations.
It's essential to interpret the indicator in the context of the overall market environment. While volume delta can provide valuable insights into short-term buying and selling imbalances, it is just one aspect of market analysis. Traders should consider other factors, such as market structure, fundamental events, and overall sentiment, to make informed trading decisions. Additionally, the indicator's efficacy might vary across different market conditions, and it may produce false signals during low-volume periods or choppy markets.
Conclusion:
By visualizing volume delta through custom candlesticks, traders can gauge market sentiment and potentially identify key reversal or continuation points. As with any technical indicator, it is advisable to use the Volume Delta Candles in combination with other tools to gain a comprehensive understanding of market conditions and make well-informed trading choices. Additionally, traders should practice proper risk management techniques to protect their capital while using the indicator in their trading strategy.
Opening Range Gap + Std Dev [starclique]The ICT Opening Range Gap is a concept taught by Inner Circle Trader and is discussed in the videos: 'One Trading Setup For Life' and 2023 ICT Mentorship - Opening Range Gap Repricing Macro
ORGs, or Opening Range Gaps, are gaps that form only on the Regular Trading Hours chart.
The Regular Trading Hours gap occurs between 16:15 PM - 9:29 AM EST (UTC-4)
These times are considered overnight trading, so it is useful to filter the PA (price action) formed there.
The RTH option is only available for futures contracts and continuous futures from CME Group.
To change your chart to RTH, first things first, make sure you’re looking at a futures contract for an asset class, then on the bottom right of your chart, you’ll see ETH (by default) - Click on that, and change it to RTH.
Now your charts are filtering the price action that happened overnight.
To draw out your gap, use the Close of the 4:14 PM candle and the open of the 9:30 AM candle.
How is this concept useful?
Well, It can be used in many ways.

How To Use The ORG
One of the ways you can use the opening range gap is simply as support and resistance
If we extend out the ORG from the example above, we can see that there is a clean retest of the opening range gap high after breaking structure to the upside and showing acceptance outside of the gap after consolidating within it.
The ORG High (4:14 Candle Close in this case) was used as support.
We then see an expansion to the upside.
Another way to implement the ORG is by using it as a draw on liquidity (magnet for price)
In this example, if we looked to the left, there was a huge ORG to the downside, leaving a massive gap.
The market will want to rebalance that gap during the regular trading hours.
The market rallies higher, rejects, comes down to clear the current days ORG low, then closes.
That is one example of how you can combine liquidity & ICT market structure concepts with Opening Range Gaps to create a story in the charts.
Now let’s discuss standard deviations.
---
Standard Deviations
Standard Deviations are essentially projection levels for ranges / POIs (Point of Interests)
By this I mean, if you have a range, and you would like to see where it could potentially expand to, you’d place your fibonacci retracement tool on and high and low of the range, then use extension levels to find specific price points where price might reject from.
Since 0 and 1 are your Range High and Low respectively, your projection levels would be something like 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3, for the extension from your 1 Fib Level, and -0.5, -1, -1.5, and -2 for your 0 Fib level.
The -1 and 2 level produce a 1:1 projection of your range low and high, meaning, if you expect price to expand as much as it did from the range low to range high, then you can project a -1 and 2 on your Fib, and it would show you what ICT calls “symmetrical price”
Now, how are standard deviations relevant here?
Well, if you’ve been paying attention to ICT’s recent videos, you would’ve caught that he’s recently started using Standard Deviation levels on breakers.
So my brain got going while watching his video on ORGs, and I decided to place the fib on the ORG high and low and see what it’d produce.
The results were very interesting.
Using this same example, if we place our fib on the ORG High and Low, and add some projection levels, we can see that we rejected right at the -2 Standard Deviation Level.
---
You can see that I also marked out the EQ (Equilibrium, 50%, 0.5 of Fib) of the ORG. This is because we can use this level as a take profit level if we’re using an old ORG as our draw.
In days like these, where the gap formed was within a consolidation, and it continued to consolidate within the ORG zone that we extended, we can use the EQ in the same way we’d use an EQ for a range.
If it’s showing acceptance above the EQ, we are bullish, and expect the high of the ORG to be tapped, and vice versa.
---
Using The Indicator
Here’s where our indicator comes in play.
To avoid having to do all this work of zooming in and marking out the close and open of the respective ORG candles, we created the Opening Range Gap + Standard Deviations Indicator, with the help of our dedicated Star Clique coder, a1tmaniac.
With the ORG + STD DEV indicator, you will be able to view ORG’s and their projections on the ETH (Electronic Trading Hours) chart.

Faytterro Market Structerethis indicator creates the market structure with a little delay but perfectly. each zigzag is always drawn from highest to lowest. It also signals when the market structure is broken. signals fade over time.
The table above shows the percentage distance of the price from the last high and the last low.
zigzags are painted green when making higher peaks, while lower peaks are considered downtrends and are painted red. In fact, the indicator is quite simple to understand and use.
"length" is used to change the frequency of the signal.
"go to past" is used to see historical data.
Please review the examples:

CANDLE FILTER Todays scripts is based on my Pullback And Rally Candles with other meaningful candles such as Hammers and Dojis.
You can choose which Candles to show on the cart and if you want to candles to appear above or below a moving average.
If you follow my work, you may recognise some of these candles which I'm about to show you however these candles are 1) more refined and 2) has moving average filters.
Ive included a D,6H,1H Candle in this script as on different timeframes - each swing low on average has a different amount of bars within the swing low / swing high so the DPB and RD will only work on the Daily
//Pullback candle
This candle is very powerful when used with simple Price Action such as Market Structure//Demand zones and support zones. (((((WORKS BEST IN UPTRENDS AND BOTTOM OF RANGES)))))

Rolling Heikin Ashi Candles█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays a Rolling Heikin Ashi Candles for a given timeframe Multiplier. Contrary to Heikin Ashi Candles Charts, if the timeframe Multiplier is "5", this indicator plots Heikin Ashi Candles OHLC of the last 5 Candles.
█ WHAT IS THE NEED FOR IT
Let's see if we want to use a Higher timeframe OHLC Data using security function or resolution options. The indicator repaints until the higher timeframe Heikin Ashi Candles closes, leading to a repainting strategy or indicator using higher-timeframe data. So we can use Rolling Heikin Ashi Candles in these cases.
█ USES
To Pull out higher timeframe Heikin Ashi Candles OHLC Data to build a non-repainting strategy or indicator.
█ WHY I AM BUILDING THIS SIMPLE INDICATOR
There is no doubt higher timeframe analysis is a critical study to mastering the markets.
I found a necessity for an indicator that analyses multiple higher timeframes and gives us a cumulative or average trend direction. I already built the indicator; I will release it soon. The Indicator I am building is wholly based on my understanding and perspective of Market Structure. Please use this indicator idea to remove the repainting issue when you make an indicator that utilises higher timeframe data.
I am using this in my upcoming indicators. Felt to share before head.
Stay Tuned...
If you have any recommendations or alternative ideas, then please drop a comment under the script ;)

█ USES
To Pull out higher timeframe OHLC Data to build a non-repainting strategy or indicator.
Prominently, traders use Heikin Ashi Candles to locate trends or trading opportunities easier than traditional candlesticks. But the OHLC in those Heikin Ashi candles doesn't match with conventional candlesticks. We can use these Rolling OHLC Candles as an alternative for Heikin Ashi Candles because Here we can locate trends or trading opportunities easier than traditional candlesticks, and also close of these candles matches the close of the standard candlesticks, which can help us to take trades based on the close of the candles.

Makuchaku's Trade Tools - Pivots/Fractals & CrossoversPivots/Fractals are at minimum a 3 candlestick pattern.
Bearish pivot/fractal is formed when a candle is flanked by 2 lower candles on either side
Bullish pivot/fractal is formed when a candle is flanked by 2 higher candles on either side
They are great to determine market structure.
This indicator also prints boxes when those pivots/fractals are crossed over, printing bearish & bullish boxes.
Order BlocksThis is experimental Indicator is to help identifying Order Blocks.
It uses not confirmed higher order pivots as Higher Highs (HH) and Lower Lows (LL), finds high/lows that created most recent LL/HH and in case if this high/low are broken it notes candle that broke structure, market structure broke line (MSB) and demand box (candle that created liquidity for the move that broke structure).
Concepts and parts of code used in this study:
1) @rumpypumpydumpy - Higher Order Pivots

Broken Fractal : Someone's broken dream is your profit!Idea
The idea is simple : when market turns around, it traps a bunch of traders off guard. We trade with them, in the same direction of their exit!
Method
We let the market first create a fractal
We then let the market create an opposite fractal
We then let the market break the first fractal it created, thereby trapping lots of trades in the process
We then patiently wait till the market gives these trapped traders a chance to exit - and we trade in the same direction
How to use?
Green boxes are for long entry, red boxes are for short.
Whenever a box appears, that's the risk criteria - setup limit orders and trade along!
Works on all timeframes
If you like this script, please leave a note on how you are using it.
I personally use it with Higher Timeframe bias.
PS1 : some traders call this Break of market structure, some call it Breaker, I just call it "Broken Fractal"
PS2 : Break of a broken fractal is also very potent. Watch out for those!
Bollinger Bands Bar ColoringThis is a simple script that colors bars/candles based on where price is relative to the basis, and the upper and lower bands of the Bollinger Bands.
If price is above the basis, candles will be colored green, and if price is below the basis, candles will be colored red.
If price is outside of the bands on either side, the candles will be colored a darker shade of either color depending on if it is above or below.
I created this indicator because I like that at a glance I can have an idea of the bullishness or bearishness of price action based on the Bollinger Bands, without actually having the Bands overlayed on my charts.
It's also quite nice because I find that the areas where there is a shift in candle color (especially from green to red and vice versa) aid in identifying levels of support and resistance, and shifts in market structure.
I have another indicator that is a huge modification of the Bollinger Bands %B, which includes the candle coloring (and MAs), but this frees up space on my chart while still providing me with the primary information I'm looking for.
+ BB %B: MA selection, bar coloring, multi-timeframe, and alerts+ %B is, at its simplest, the classic Bollinger Bands %B indicator with a few added bells and whistles.
However, the right combination of bells and whistles will often improve and make a more adaptable indicator.
Classically, Bollinger Bands %B is an indicator that measures volatility, and the momentum and strength of a trend, and/or price movements.
It shows "overbought" and "oversold" spots on a chart, and is also useful for identifying divergences between price and trend (similar to RSI).
With + %B I've added the options to select one or two moving averages, candle coloring, and a host of others.
Let's start with the moving averages:
There are options for two: one faster and one slower. Or combine them how you will, or omit one or both of them entirely.
Here you will find options for SMA, EMA (as well as double and triple), Hull MA, Jurik MA, Least Squares MA, Triangular MA, Volatility Adjusted MA, and Weighted MA.
A moving average essentially helps to define trend by smoothing the noise of movements of the underlying asset, or, in this case, the output of the indicator.
All of these MAs available track this in a different way, and it's up to the trader to figure out which makes most sense to him/her.
MA's, in my opinion, improve the basic %B by providing a clearer picture of what the indicator is actually "seeing", and may be useful for providing entries and exits.
Next up is candle coloring:
I've added the option for this indicator to color candles on the chart based on where the %B is in relation to its upper and lower bounds, and median line.
If the %B is above the median but below the upper bound, candles will be green (showing bullish market structure). If %B is below the median but above the lower bound, candles will be red (denoting bearish market structure).
Overbought and oversold candles will also be colored on the chart, so that a quick glance will tell you whether price action is bullish/bearish or "oversold"/"overbought".
I've also added functionality that enables candles to be colored based on if the %B has crossed up or crossed down the primary moving average.
One example as a way to potentially use these features is if the candles are showing oversold coloration followed by the %B crossing up your moving average coloration. You might consider a long there (or exit a short position if you are short).
And the last couple of tweaks:
You may set the timeframe to whatever you wish, so maybe you're trading on the hourly, but you want to know where the %B is on the 4h chart. You can do that.
The background fill for the indicator is split into bullish and bearish halves. Obviously you may turn the background off, or make it all one color as well.
I've also added alerts, so you may set alerts for "overbought" and "oversold" conditions.
You may also set alerts for %B crossing over or under the primary moving average, or for crossing the median line.
All of these things may be turned on and off. You can pretty much customize this to your heart's delight. I see no reason why anyone would use the standard %B after playing with this.
I am no coder. I had this idea in my head, though, and I made it happen through referencing another indicator I was familiar with, and watching tutorials on YouTube.
Credits:
Firstly, thanks to www.tradingview.com for his brilliant, free tutorials on YouTube.
Secondly, thanks to www.tradingview.com for his beautiful SSL Hybrid indicator (and his clean code) from which I obtained the MAs.
Please enjoy this indicator, and I hope that it serves you well. :)
MA, MATR, ChEx | All in One - 4CR CUPIn trade position setup, we always need to determine the market structure and manage the position sizing in a short period of decision time. Indicators such as moving average, initial stop loss and trailing stop loss are always helpful.
This indicator put all these handy tools into a single toolkit, which includes the following price action and risk management indicators:
MA - Moving Average
MATR - Moving Average less Average True Range
ChEx - Chandelier Exit
This script further enhances the setting so that you can easily customize the indicators.
For both the Moving Averages and the Moving Average less Average True Range , you can pick a type of moving average which suits your analysis style from a list of commonly used moving average formulations: namely, EMA , HMA , RMA, SMA and WMA , where EMA is selected as default.
The Moving Average less Average True Range , MATR, is usually applied as a reference to set the initial stop loss whenever opening a new position.
The abbreviation, MATR, is picked, so that this can serve as a handy reminder of a very good trading framework as elaborates as below:
M – Market Structure
A – Area of Value
T – Trigger
R – Risk Management (aka. Exit Strategy)
Bitcoin Bulls and Bears by @dbtrBitcoin 🔥 Bulls & Bears 🔥
v1.0
This free-of-charge BTC market analysis indicator helps you better understand what's going with Bitcoin from a high-level perspective. At a glance, it will give you an immediate understanding of Bitcoin’s historic price channel dating back to 2011, past and current market cycles, as well as current key support levels.
Usage
Use this indicator with any BTCUSD pairs , ideally with a long price history (such as BNC:BLX )
We recommend to use this indicator in log mode, combined with Weekly or Monthly timeframe.
Features
🕵🏻♂️ Historic price channel curve since 2011
🚨 Bull & bear market cycles (dynamic)
🔥 All-time highs (dynamic)
🌟 Weekly support (dynamic, based on 20 SMA )
💪 Long-term support (channel bottom)
🔝 Potential future price targets (dynamic)
❎ Overbought RSI coloring
📏 Log/non-log support
🌚 Dark mode support
Remarks
With exception of the price channel curve, anything in this indicator is calculated dynamically , including bull/bear market cycles (based on a tweaked 20SMA), ATHs, and so on. As a result, historic market cycles may not be 100% accurately reflected and may also differ slightly in between various time-frames (closest result: Monthly). The indicator may even consider periods of heavy ups/downs as their own market cycles, even though they weren’t. Due to its dynamic nature, this indicator can however adapt to the future and helps you quickly identify potential changes in market structure, even if the indicator is no longer updated.
On top of that bullmarket cycles (colored in green) feature an ingrained RSI: the darker the green color, the more the RSI is overbought and close to a correction (darkest color in the chart = 90 Weekly RSI). In comparison with past bull cycles, it helps you easily spot potential reversal zones.
Thanks
Thanks to @quantadelic and @mabonyi which both have worked on the BTC "growth zones" indicator including the price channel, of which I have used parts of the code as well as the actual price channel data.

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and moreI am publishing my updated Ichimoku ++ study with a more suitable title. Future updates will take place with this version.
Description:
The intention of this script is to build/provide a kind of work station / work bench for analysing markets and especially Bitcoin . Another goal is to get maximum market information while maintaining a good chart overview. A chart overloaded with indicators is useless because the structure of the chart is more difficult to see. The chart should be clear and market structure should be easy to see. The script allows you to add indicators and signals in different visualizations to better assess the quality of signals and the sentiment of the market.
A general advise:
Use the included indicators and signals in a confluent way to get stoploss, buy and sell entry points. SR clusters can be identified for use in conjunction with Fractals and other indicators as entry and exit pints. My other scripts can also help. Prefer 4 hours, daily and a longer time frame. There is no "Holy Grail" :).
Ichimoku ++ public v0.9Description:
The intention of this script is to build/provide a kind of work station / work bench for analysing markets and especially Bitcoin . Another goal is to get maximum market information while maintaining a good chart overview. A chart overloaded with indicators is useless because it obscures the view of the chart as the most important indicator. The chart should be clear and market structure should be easy to see. In addition, some indicator signals can be activated to better assess the quality of signals from the past. The chart environment or the chart context is important for the quality of a signal.
The intention of this script is not to teach someone how to trade or how to use these Indicators but to provide a tool to analyse markets better and to help to draw conclusions of market behaviour in a higher quality.
A general advise:
Use the included indicators and signals in a confluent way to get stoploss, buy and sell entry points. SR clusters can be identified for use in conjunction with fractals as entry and exit pints. My other scripts can also help. Prefer 4 hours, daily and a longer time frame. There is no "Holy Grail" :).
If someone is new to trading you should learn about the indicators first. Definitely learn about Ichimoku Cloud Indicator.
Integrated indicators are:
Ichimoku Cloud and signals
Parabolic SAR and signal
ATR stop
Bollinger Bands
EMA / SMA and background color as signal
Williams Fractals and signal
Puell Multiple signal
Trend ProTrend Pro is a volatility-adaptive trend and momentum system designed for scalping, day trading, and short-term swing trading.
It uses an ATR-based dynamic trend line (Alpha-Trend style) to identify momentum shifts and confirm directional strength.
Unlike traditional moving averages, Trend Pro adapts to volatility and reacts faster during expansions while filtering noise during chop.
🔍 How Trend Pro Works
Trend Pro builds a dynamic volatility channel using ATR and tracks whether price stays above or below this adaptive line.
When price crosses and closes on the opposite side, it suggests a shift in market control.
When price closes above the line → the trend turns BULLISH (green)
When price closes below the line → the trend turns BEARISH (red)
This gives a clear, visual trend state without repainting.
Tips for Best Performance:
✔ Avoid signals directly inside major ranges or sideways chop
✔ Strongest entries come after small pullbacks into the line
✔ Combine signals with:
Market structure
Key swing highs/lows
Liquidity sweeps
Session timing (NYSE open, power hour)
✔ Trend Pro works best when used with the trend, not counter-trend
Enjoy!
30m Hollow Candle on 5m - SSThis indicator overlays 30-minute candles on a 5-minute chart using clean, hollow-style higher-timeframe (HTF) candles.
The design keeps your chart readable while giving you full insight into the 30m structure that drives intraday price movements.
Each 30-minute candle is drawn as a transparent, hollow outline, so your 5-minute candles remain perfectly visible. The indicator preserves all candle characteristics:
Wicks (high & low)
Open/close levels
Color-coded direction (green = bullish, red = bearish)
Invisible body to avoid overlapping or chart clutter
This tool allows intraday traders to track 30m market structure without constantly switching timeframes.
Simple VP Shape DetectorSimple VP Shape Detector is a lightweight Pine Script tool designed to help traders quickly identify the four major Volume Profile shapes commonly used in orderflow and auction-market theory:
D-Shape (Balanced Profile)
P-Shape (Short-Covering / Buyer-Dominant)
B-Shape (Long-Liquidation / Seller-Dominant)
Thin Profile (Trend Profile)
This indicator uses candle statistics (range, body size, volume distribution approximation, and directional movement) to estimate the underlying shape of the volume profile when the full Volume Profile tool is not available.
✔️ What this indicator does
Analyzes recent bars to estimate volume concentration vs. price movement
Flags possible VP shapes using simple logic
Displays labels above/below candles showing:
“D” → Balanced
“P” → Buyer-heavy
“B” → Seller-heavy
“T” → Trending / Thin profile
Helps traders quickly identify auction conditions
✔️ Why this is useful
Volume Profile tools require premium data or heavy visual processing.
This script provides a simple, fast, CPU-light alternative that still captures the essential behavior of profile shapes.
✔️ How shapes are detected
D-Shape: small directional movement + larger body clustering
P-Shape: strong upward move + volume weighted to upper half
B-Shape: strong downward move + volume weighted to lower half
Thin: long range candles with little internal consolidation
⚠️ Disclaimer
This script is an approximation. It does NOT replace full Volume Profile tools.
It is designed as an educational / supplemental tool for market structure analysis.
Vince/Williams Extreme Volatility VulnerabilityDescription: This indicator implements the "Period of Extreme Vulnerability" concept developed by Ralph Vince and Larry Williams. The theory posits that a healthy market must regularly see the number of New Lows "dry up" (drop to near zero). When the percentage of New Lows fails to drop below a minimal threshold (default 0.15%) for a prolonged period (default 65 days), it indicates that internal market structure is rotting even if prices are rising, leaving the market fragile and prone to sudden volatility shocks.
I have programmed this script to track that exact condition—the extended absence of a "low" New Lows reading. It applies a 50-day Moving Average filter to contextually categorize the signal:
Red Dot (Crash Warning): Triggers when the vulnerability period begins while the price is above the 50 SMA. This is the classic warning signal, indicating that an uptrend is unsupported by market internals and a sharp correction may be imminent.
Green Dot (Contrarian Buy): Triggers when the vulnerability period begins while the price is below the 50 SMA. The script identifies this as a potential capitulation or value point where the persistent internal weakness is likely already priced in.
Note: This indicator requires exchange-wide data (New Lows, Advancers, Decliners) to function. It is best used on daily timeframes.
