Fractal CorridorsFractal Corridors - visual tool that maps market structure through a multi-scale lens, revealing the underlying architecture of price action across time. By processing pivot points at multiple depths, it constructs a layered geometric corridors that reflects the self-similar, scalable nature of financial markets. Each pivot scale connects successive highs and lows with lines, and when both sides are present, fills the space between them, forming polygonal bands that shift in shape and density as volatility and trend evolve.
Inputs
Base Depth: Number of bars for the smallest pivot
Factor: Multiplier between small, medium and large depths
Selectable color of components
The real value of this indicator lies not in generating executive signals, but in offering a structural perspective that blends short-term fluctuations with longer-term market cycles. The output allows to visually assess trends in terms of shapes, detect compression zones, and identify multi-timeframe confluence areas where price is likely to react. Whether used for macro trend confirmation or pattern evaluation, this indicator transforms raw price data into a clear, fractal-informed map of market behavior, helping the user navigate the complexity of emerging price through the language of geometry.
First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.

Wavelet Smoothed Moving Average (TechnoBlooms)Wavelet Smoothed Moving Average (WSMA) is a part of the Quantum Price Theory (QPT) Series of indicators.
Overview:
The Wavelet Smoothed Moving Average (WSMA) is a trend-following indicator inspired by multi-level Haar Wavelet decomposition. Rather than using traditional wavelet basis functions, it emulates the core wavelet concept of multi-resolution analysis using nested simple moving averages (SMA).
How It Works:
WSMA applies three levels of smoothing:
• Level 1: SMA on price (base smoothing)
• Level 2: SMA on Level 1 output (further denoising)
• Level 3: SMA on Level 2 output (final approximation)
Why Use WSMA:
• Multi-Level Smoothing: Captures price structure across multiple time scales, unlike single-length MAs.
• Noise Reduction: Filters out short-term volatility and focuses on the underlying trend.
• Low Lag, High Clarity: Unlike traditional moving averages that react slowly or miss subtle shifts, WSMA’s layered smoothing delivers cleaner and more adaptive trend detection.
Unique Value:
• Wavelet-Inspired Design: Mimics core wavelet decomposition logic without the complexity of downsampling or basis functions.
• Perfect for Trend Confirmation: The final line (a3) can act as a trend filter, while the detail levels can help identify momentum shifts and volatility bursts.
• Fits Into Quantum Price Theory: As part of the QPT framework, WSMA bridges scientific theory with trading application, giving traders a deeper understanding of market structure and signal compression.
Multi Timeframe Altered Money Flow Index by CoffeeShopCryptoMoney Flow Index is a long used tool in trading markets, understanding to where money is moving and most importantly when its going there.
One of the biggest challenges was the when part. Because seeing it on your current trading chart timeframe is easy but it gets difficult if youre attempting a top-down-analysis of market structure vs price performance.
The new formula presented by @CoffeeshopCrypto is a key solution to this timeframe analysis issue. Seems like I may have solved the "glitch-In-The-Matrix".
The issue was always setting a secondary MFI on your chart and telling the system you wanted to watch the 1 hour MFI from a 5 minute chart.
To do this you need to wait for 12 candles to close on your 5 minute chart before you can get a 1hour MFI value. The move may have already happend and you may be too late. If there was only a better faster way to see the changing values of the High Timeframe Money Flow Index in real time without changing chart times and losing place......oh wait.....there is one now!
This tool allows you to tell it what timeframe you are looking at,
and what you want to compare it to.
It runs the calculation in the background automatically to give you the real time values of your High Timeframe chart setting on the chart you are looking at.
How to trade Long
When both the LFT and HTF Money flow cross above ZERO, they are both in uptrend
How to trade Short
When both the LFT and HTF Money flow cross below ZERO, they are both in downtrend
What happens when Low timeframe is inside the high timeframe:
If High timeframe MFI is below zero but the LFT MFI is above it and still below zero, you have lost your short term downtrend. The opposite is true when the high timeframe MFI is above zero.
A strong constant comparative trend is when your low timeframe MFI is leading your High timeframe MFI.
Personal Settings:
In my usage, i find it best to multiply my trading chart timeframe by 3 and use that number as my high timeframe MFI setting
This works on ANY chart time you want. For example you are not locked to the standard built TradingView chart times.
If you trade on a 7 minute timeframe, you can set your HTF to 21.
7 * 3 = 21
Weekly Open (Current Week Only)📘 Indicator Name: Weekly Open (Current Week Only)
📝 Description:
This indicator plots a horizontal line representing the weekly open price, visible only during the current trading week. At the beginning of each new week (based on TradingView’s weekly time segmentation), the indicator captures the open price of the first candle and draws a constant line across the chart until the week ends. Once the new week begins, the line resets and updates with the new weekly open.
🎯 How to Use – ICT Concepts Integration (Weekly Profile):
This tool is designed to complement ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading strategies, particularly within the weekly profile framework, by offering a clear and persistent visual of the weekly open, which is a critical reference point in ICT’s market structure theory.
✅ Use Cases:
Directional Bias:
According to ICT concepts, price trading above the weekly open suggests a bullish bias for the week, while trading below it implies bearish conditions.
Traders can use the weekly open line to align their intraweek trades with higher timeframe directional bias.
Dealing Ranges:
Weekly open helps frame the weekly dealing range, especially when combined with other levels like weekly high/low or previous week’s range.
It allows traders to identify potential liquidity pools or areas where price may seek to rebalance.
Mean Reversion Entries:
Price often reverts to or reacts from the weekly open. Traders may use this as a target or entry level, particularly during Monday/Tuesday setups.
Works well in conjunction with concepts like OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and Judas Swings.
Risk Management:
Acts as a clean and visual anchor to structure stop losses or take-profits based on weekly bias shifts.

Liquidity Zones Alerts"Liquidity Zones Alerts" is a powerful smart-money-based indicator designed to detect key liquidity grabs and provide high-probability reversal signals using a combination of market structure, volume, volatility, and candlestick confirmation.
🧠 How It Works
The core logic of this indicator is built around the Smart Money Concepts:
🔺 Liquidity Sweeps: Detects when price takes out previous daily or weekly highs/lows, suggesting stop hunts or engineered liquidity moves by institutional players.
📈 Volume Filter: Ensures signals only appear during above-average volume, filtering out noise and low-interest moves.
⚡ Volatility Filter: Flags high-range candles relative to the average, catching flash crashes/spikes that often precede strong reversals.
🔄 Engulfing Candle Confirmation: Confirms entry with a bullish or bearish engulfing pattern after liquidity is taken — increasing signal reliability.
🧭 Premium/Discount Zone Logic: Trades are filtered to ensure longs are only taken in discount zones, and shorts in premium zones, using a 20-period market range for context.
📌 Features
✅ Daily & Weekly liquidity zones toggle
✅ Visual signals with clean 🔻(short) & 🔺(long) arrows
✅ Auto-detection of flash crashes
✅ Alerts on both long and short setups
✅ Optional previous high/low level plotting for context
✅ Background highlighting of valid signal candles
✅ Multi-timeframe friendly and compatible with any asset
🛠️ Use Case
Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this tool helps you spot institutional entry zones before the move happens. It works especially well when combined with your existing bias or supply/demand zones.
💬 “Price doesn't move randomly — it hunts liquidity. This indicator shows you where and when it happens.”
CandelaCharts - Premium & Discount 📝 Overview
Premium and Discount are key concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading strategies, used to pinpoint ideal entry and exit points in the market. These concepts are based on an understanding of market structure and the behavior of institutional traders, commonly referred to as Smart Money.
To understand the Premium and Discount zones, it's crucial to first grasp the concept of the equilibrium level, also known as the basic or fair value. The equilibrium represents the midpoint of a given price range and acts as a reference point, dividing the range into Premium and Discount zones.
The equilibrium reflects the "fair value" of the price within the considered range. Traders use this as a benchmark to assess whether the current price is in the Premium or Discount zone.
The Premium zone lies above the equilibrium level, while the Discount zone is located below it within the price range.

Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)Williams Fractals Ultimate (Donchian Adjusted)
Understanding Williams Fractals
Williams Fractals are a simple yet powerful tool used to identify potential turning points in the market. They highlight local highs (up fractals) and local lows (down fractals) based on a set period.
An up fractal appears when a price peak is higher than the surrounding prices.
A down fractal appears when a price low is lower than the surrounding prices.
Fractals help traders spot support and resistance levels, potential trend reversals, and price breakout zones.
Why Adjust Fractals with the Donchian Channel?
The standard Williams Fractals method identifies local highs and lows without considering broader market context. This script enhances fractal accuracy by integrating the Donchian Channel, which tracks the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period.
- The Donchian Baseline is calculated as the average of the highest high and lowest low over a selected period.
- Fractals are filtered based on this baseline:
Up Fractals are only shown if they are above the Donchian baseline.
Down Fractals are only shown if they are below the Donchian baseline.
This filtering method removes weak signals and ensures that only relevant fractals aligned with market structure are displayed.
Key Features of the Script
Customizable Fractal & Donchian Periods – Allows traders to fine-tune fractal sensitivity.
Donchian-Based Filtering – Reduces noise and highlights meaningful fractals.
Fractal ZigZag Line (Optional) – Helps visualize price swings more clearly.
Why Is This So Effective?
Stronger trend signals – Filtering with the Donchian baseline eliminates unreliable fractals.
Clearer price action – The optional ZigZag line visually connects significant highs and lows.
Easy trend identification – Helps traders confirm breakout zones and key price levels.

ICT Bread and Butter Sell-SetupICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup – TradingView Strategy
Overview:
The ICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup is an intraday trading strategy designed to capitalize on bearish market conditions. It follows institutional order flow and exploits liquidity patterns within key trading sessions—London, New York, and Asia—to identify high-probability short entries.
Key Components of the Strategy:
🔹 London Open Setup (2:00 AM – 8:20 AM NY Time)
The London session typically sets the initial directional move of the day.
A short-term high often forms before a downward push, establishing the daily high.
🔹 New York Open Kill Zone (8:20 AM – 10:00 AM NY Time)
The New York Judas Swing (a temporary rally above London’s high) creates an opportunity for short entries.
Traders fade this move, anticipating a sell-off targeting liquidity below previous lows.
🔹 London Close Buy Setup (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time)
If price reaches a higher timeframe discount array, a retracement higher is expected.
A bullish order block or failure swing signals a possible reversal.
The risk is set just below the day’s low, targeting a 20-30% retracement of the daily range.
🔹 Asia Open Sell Setup (7:00 PM – 2:00 AM NY Time)
If institutional order flow remains bearish, a short entry is taken around the 0-GMT Open.
Expect a 15-20 pip decline as the Asian range forms.
Strategy Rules:
📉 Short Entry Conditions:
✅ New York Judas Swing occurs (price moves above London’s high before reversing).
✅ Short entry is triggered when price closes below the open.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips above the session high.
✅ Take-profit targets liquidity zones on higher timeframes.
📈 Long Entry (London Close Reversal):
✅ Price reaches a higher timeframe discount array between 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time.
✅ A bullish order block confirms the reversal.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips below the day’s low.
✅ Take-profit targets 20-30% of the daily range retracement.
📉 Asia Open Sell Entry:
✅ Price trades slightly above the 0-GMT Open.
✅ Short entry is taken at resistance, targeting a quick 15-20 pip move.
Why Use This Strategy?
🚀 Institutional Order Flow Tracking – Aligns with smart money concepts.
📊 Precise Session Timing – Uses market structure across London, New York, and Asia.
🎯 High-Probability Entries – Focuses on liquidity grabs and engineered stop hunts.
📉 Optimized Risk Management – Defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to trade with institutions, fade liquidity grabs, and capture high-probability short setups during the trading day. 📉🔥
Rally Base Drop SND Pivots [LuxAlgo]The Rally Base Drop SND Pivots indicator uses "Rally", "Base", and "Drop" Candles to determine pivot points at which supply and demand (SND) levels are drawn.
🔶 USAGE
Rally, Base, and Drop (RBD) candles create a formula for seeing market structure through a fixed methodology. We are able to use this concept to point out pivot areas where Rallies and Drops directly meet.
The RBD SND Pivots are similar to traditionally identified "fractal" pivot points, with one key difference.
RBD SND Pivots detect a specific number of Rally and Drop candles directly back-to-back, requiring one side of the pivot to contain entirely green candles and the other to be entirely red candles or vice versa.
Since these pivot levels are based on Rally, Base, and Drop candles, the method directly implements rigid logic to further structure a trading system when utilizing these pivot levels with traditional SND concepts.
Furthermore, by implementing this logic when looking for pivots, a significant portion of potential noise is naturally filtered out.
🔶 DETAILS
In typical SND systems, the term "Base" is used for multiple meanings.
In this indicator, the base is a product of a pivot being formed. Once a Pivot is identified, the "Base" is marked as the first Rally or Drop of the second half of the pivot formation.
Once the pivot is identified, the high or low of the base candle is used to measure the pivot level.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Sets the number of Rally and Drop Candles that the script will require to identify pivots.
Ex. "3" = 3 Rally followed by 3 Drop
Historical Lookback: Hides historic levels based on a bar # Lookback from the current bar.
When set to 0, all Levels will display. (0 by default)
MTF Fractals [RunRox]🔽 MTF Fractals is a powerful indicator designed to visualize fractals from multiple timeframes directly on your chart, highlight liquidity sweeps at these fractal levels, and provide several additional features we’ll cover in detail below.
We created this indicator because we couldn’t find a suitable tool that met our specific needs on TradingView. Therefore, we decided to develop a valuable indicator for the entire TradingView community, combining simplicity and versatility.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📙 FRACTAL FORMATION
Here’s how fractals form depending on your chosen setting (3, 5, 7, or 9):
▶️ 3-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher (for highs) or lower (for lows) than one candle on each side.
▶️ 5-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower than two candles on both sides.
▶️ 7-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower compared to the three candles on each side.
▶️ 9-bar fractal – forms similarly but requires four candles on each side, making the fractal significantly more reliable and robust.
A higher number of bars ensures stronger fractal levels, highlighting more significant potential reversal points on the chart.
Now that we’ve covered the theory behind fractal formation, let’s explore the indicator’s functionality in more detail.
Below, I’ll explain each feature clearly and illustrate how you can effectively utilize this indicator in your trading.
🕐 MULTI-TIMEFRAME FRACTALS
We realized that displaying fractals only from the current timeframe isn’t always convenient, so we’ve introduced Multi-Timeframe Fractals into this indicator.
Now you can easily display fractals from higher timeframes directly on your current chart, providing you with broader market context and clearer trading signals.
Fractals from Current Timeframe – Fractals identified directly on the chart’s current timeframe.
Fractals from Higher Timeframes – Fractals sourced from higher timeframes and displayed clearly on your current chart for enhanced market perspective.
📈 FRACTAL LINES
Since fractals represent areas of high liquidity, we’ve added an option to extend fractal levels horizontally as Fractal Lines across your chart.
This feature allows you to clearly visualize critical liquidity areas from higher timeframes, directly on your current timeframe chart, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.
With this approach, you can clearly visualize significant fractal levels from higher timeframes directly on your current chart - for example, projecting fractals from the 1-hour (1H) timeframe onto a 3-minute (3m) chart. ✅ This helps you easily identify critical liquidity areas and potential reversal zones without the need to switch between multiple timeframes.
💰 LIQUDITY SWEEP (LIQUDITY GRAB)
To enhance your trading experience, we’ve introduced a feature that clearly identifies liquidity sweeps of fractal levels.
A Liquidity Sweep occurs when a candle closes beyond a fractal line, leaving a wick that pierces through it, signaling that liquidity has been collected at this level.
Below, you’ll find two examples illustrating this functionality:
▶️ Fractal lines from the current timeframe
▶️ Fractal lines projected from higher timeframes
The first example illustrates liquidity being swept from fractals on the current timeframe .
Here, the candle clearly closes beyond the fractal line, leaving a wick through it. This indicates a liquidity sweep at the fractal level, visually highlighting a potential reversal or continuation opportunity directly on your chart.
In the second example, fractals from the higher timeframe are projected onto your current chart.
When a candle on your current timeframe closes beyond an HTF fractal line - leaving a wick through this level - the indicator highlights it clearly. This signals to traders a potential reversal zone, indicating that liquidity has been swept, and price may reverse or significantly react from this area.
You can also enable the display of additional labels on the chart. These labels clearly mark liquidity sweeps at fractal levels, making it easier to visually identify potential reversal points directly on your chart.
