Behind the Magic: How It Works
The core of the Price Action Fractal Forecasts lies in its ability to compare current market behavior with historical data to unearth similar patterns. It first establishes a training data window to analyze historical prices. Within this window, it then defines a reference length to identify the most recent price action that will serve as the basis for comparison. The indicator searches through the historical data within the training window to find segments that closely match the recent price action in the reference period.
Depending on whether you choose the anticipatory or repetitive forecast mode, the indicator either looks ahead to predict future prices based on past outcomes following similar patterns or focuses on the repeating patterns within the reference period itself for forecasts. The forecast's direction can be configured to reflect the mean average of forecasted prices or the end-point relative to the start-point of the forecast, offering flexibility in how forecasts are interpreted.
To enhance the comprehensiveness and visualization, the indicator features a forecast deviation cone. This cone represents the potential range of price movements, providing a visual cue for volatility and uncertainty in the forecasted prices. The intensity of this cone can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, offering a visual guide to the level of risk and uncertainty associated with the forecasted price path.

Price Action Key Level Break & Retest — Instant ReversalThis script identifies high-confidence support and resistance levels using pivot points and multi-step retest confirmation. It helps traders detect reliable breakout and reversal zones using price action.
How It Works:
1. The script scans for pivot highs and lows on the chart to identify potential key levels.
2. Each level is monitored for multiple retests (configurable by the user). The more a level is tested and holds, the stronger it becomes.
3. When price interacts with a key level:
o A Support signal occurs if the level acts as support after multiple retests.
o A Resistance signal occurs if the level acts as resistance after multiple retests.
o If a signal fails (price breaks the level), an opposite signal is automatically placed at the breach point.
4. Optional volume filter validates the strength of moves, reducing false signals.
5. Horizontal Line Visualization: Support and Resistance signals are represented by drawing manually horizontal lines, which remain on the chart regardless of scrolling, zooming, or candle compression and helps traders to identify the breakout of key levels
Example:
• Suppose a stock forms a pivot low at ₹1,000.
• Price retraces and touches ₹1,000 two to three times, holding each time — the level is confirmed as strong support.
• The script places a buy line at ₹1,000.
• If price breaks below ₹1,000 after holding it for multiple retests, the script automatically generates a Resistance Signal at the breach point, signaling a potential trend reversal.
• That Resistance Signal act as Resistance level throughout. if such Resistance level breaks out above, it act as Support level and vice versa
• This allows traders to react adaptively, entering trades based on confirmed support or resistance while managing risk.
Why It’s Useful:
• Focuses on multi-retest confirmation rather than single touch points, reducing false signals.
• To draw horizontal lines on key levels, providing clear visualization of key levels without clutter.
• Integrates adaptive breach signals, so traders can respond when levels fail.
• Suitable for swing, intraday, and trend-following strategies.
How to Use:
1. Apply the script to any timeframe.
2. Configure pivot detection length and maximum retests to match trading style.
3. Enable the optional volume filter for stronger signal validation.
4. Monitor the horizontal lines for Support/Resistance signals and opposite signals at breaches.
5. Combine with other technical analysis if desired.
Concepts Behind the Script:
• Pivot-based support and resistance
• Multi-retest validation for stronger levels
• Adaptive opposite signals for failed levels
• Volume-based confirmation for reliability
• Horizontal line visualization for easy tracking
Key Features:
Horizontal Lines visualization: Support and Resistance levels remain on the chart permanently, providing constant visual reference.
Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Can be applied on any timeframe; lines and breach logic adjust automatically.
Optional Noise Filters: Volume and retest filters improve signal reliability.
Why It’s Worth Paying:
• Uses multi-retest confirmation to reduce false signals compared to standard support/resistance scripts.
• Provides adaptive opposite signals for failed levels — giving traders an actionable edge.
• Visualizes key levels as fixed horizontal lines, helping traders track trends clearly.
• Works across multiple timeframes — suitable for intraday, swing, or trend-following strategies.

Price Action Trend Reversal Prediction V1To use this indicator click on "Add to Favorites". In your chart add it as you would any any other indicator.
Version 1 of this script supports Buy/Long actions.
*** This is a predictive indicator based off previous bars data, not current bars action. There is no such thing as a 100% correct indicator ***
This is based on 9 day consecutive price action.
Each day the criteria is met in a row the green will become brighter.
Once it hits the 9th day the indicator will be bright green with half of it aqua.
If it meets the criteria for a perfect reversal the indicator will be all aqua.
Version 2 will include Sell/Short indication as well.
Price Action UltimateThe Price Action Ultimate indicator is an innovative tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of price action based on either volume or touches. By default, the indicator displays touches, offering a unique perspective on price levels that have been frequently interacted with by the market.
At its core, the indicator divides the price range of a specified lookback period into a number of rows (default 25). For each row, it calculates either the volume traded or the number of times the price touched that level. This data is then visualized in two ways: as a histogram and as horizontal lines on the chart.
The histogram, displayed on the right side of the chart, represents the distribution of touches (or volume) across different price levels. Each bar in the histogram shows the number of touches and the percentage of total touches for that price level. The color of the bars ranges from a user-defined low activity color to a high activity color, providing a quick visual reference for the most active price levels.
The horizontal lines drawn across the chart represent the most significant levels based on touches (or volume). By default, the indicator displays the top 3 levels, but this can be adjusted. The thickness of these lines corresponds to the relative importance of each level - thicker lines indicate more touches or higher volume. This feature allows traders to quickly identify key support and resistance levels based on historical price action.
One of the most innovative aspects of this indicator is the option to fade older levels over time. When enabled, this feature gradually increases the transparency of lines as they age, with newer levels appearing more prominently. This helps traders focus on the most recent and relevant price action while still maintaining awareness of older, potentially significant levels.
The indicator offers flexibility in its display options. Users can choose to show levels based on volume, touches, or both. This allows traders to compare and contrast different perspectives on price action. Additionally, the indicator includes options to display a volume profile and a background fill for the analysis range, further enhancing its visual appeal and informational content.
What makes this indicator particularly valuable is its ability to provide a clear, uncluttered view of key price levels without relying on complex calculations or multiple indicators. It distills price action down to its essence - where price has spent the most time or where the most trading activity has occurred. This can be incredibly useful for identifying potential support and resistance levels, areas of consolidation, or possible breakout points.
For traders focused on price action strategies, this indicator offers a powerful tool to enhance their analysis. It provides a data-driven approach to identifying significant price levels, which can be used to inform entry and exit decisions, set stop losses, or anticipate potential market reactions.
This indicator is a tool to aid in market analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine multiple forms of analysis and practice proper risk management when trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Price Action Trader [BackQuant]Price Action Trader
Introduction
Price Action Trader is an all-in-one, chart-side workflow for reading trend, timing impulses, and mapping high-probability zones the way discretionary traders actually trade. It blends an ensemble trend engine with clean price-action building blocks—Market Structure (BOS/MSB), Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and Volumetric Support/Resistance—so you can form a bias, find confluence, and execute with context.
What is it
A modular “price-action stack” that:
Paints trend bias and impulse shifts on the chart (optional candle coloring).
Auto-annotates internal & swing structure (BOS / MSB).
Finds FVGs on your chosen timeframe and draws them cleanly.
Detects Order Blocks (with optional FVG confirmation).
Builds volumetric S/R levels that adapt to liquidity.
Emits alerts for key events (new levels, touches, breaks, OB creation/touch).
Everything is configurable—keep it minimal (trend + a few zones) or run the full toolkit.
What’s it used for
Bias first, trade second: establish direction/conviction, then execute where structure, gaps, blocks, and volume agree.
Timing: impulse flips and level touches provide actionable triggers.
Risk placement: OB edges, FVG midlines, and volumetric bands give logical stop/target references.
Review & journaling: optional session shading and labeled structures make post-trade notes simple.
Composite Trend Model
A lightweight signal line (default: 30-period) that turns green when the composite regime is bullish and red when bearish. Under the hood, multiple cues (adaptive momentum, de-noised oscillation, volatility-aware filters) are blended into a single directional score; when thresholds flip, the line recolors and optional Long/Short dots appear.
How to use
Treat the line as your bias rail : favor longs while green, shorts while red.
Flat/rapid flips = stand down or reduce size.
Prefer clean charts? Keep only the line and (optionally) trend-painted candles.
Inputs to know
Show Trend Signal Line / Width.
Paint Candles by Trend.
Long/Bearish color controls.
Impulse Model
Highlights short-term pressure shifts with optional impulse candle coloring and ▲/▼ markers. Great for entries in the prevailing trend and for early warnings when impulses fire against bias.
How to use
Up-bias: look for the next impulse-up near structure/FVG/OB or volumetric support.
Down-bias: mirror the logic.
Frequent counter-impulses → expect chop or regime change.
Inputs to know
Show Impulse Signals.
Paint Impulse Candles.
Market Structure
Automatic Internal (tight lookback) and Swing (wider lookback) structure with BOS and MSB (CHoCH) labels. You decide what to show—All, BOS only, MSB only—independently for internal vs swing.
How to use
Use Swing labels for the primary map; Internal for entry refinement.
After a bullish MSB , seek the first HL back into support/FVG/OB.
After a bearish BOS , favor LH fades into resistance/FVG/OB.
Inputs to know
Swing Lookback / Internal Lookback.
Swing/Internal Structure: All | BOS | MSB | None .
Separate bull/bear color controls for both layers.
Fair Value Gaps
Detects bullish/bearish FVGs on the current or higher TF, draws boxes, and can extend them forward. Midlines provide quick visual targeting.
How to use
In-trend fills: in an up-bias, tags of bullish FVGs often offer high-quality continuation entries, especially with structure/OB confluence.
Failed fills: rejections at the midline can signal emerging strength/weakness.
Inputs to know
Show FVG / Show Last N / Extend.
Timeframe (blank = chart TF; set higher TF for macro FVGs).
Bull/Bear colors (tune opacity to taste).
Volumetric Support and Resistance
Builds adaptive S/R from price interaction + relative volume over a rolling lookback. Levels store touch counts; you can show volume stats on labels or inside boxes. Transparency and border thickness can scale with volume so stronger levels are visually louder. Broken levels can auto-remove.
How to use
Use as confluence with structure, OBs, and FVGs. A long at volumetric support + Bull OB + FVG midline is qualitatively different from a naked level.
If a level breaks on strong volume, stop fading—flip expectations or wait for a clean retest.
Inputs to know
Detection Sensitivity / Volume Multiplier.
Analysis Period / Max Levels / Min Distance (%).
Remove Broken / Extend Right / Show Volume Info / Text Inside.
Support/Resistance colors (+ high-vol variants).
Alerts
New Support/Resistance Level Created.
Level Touch.
Level Break.
Order Blocks
Detects bullish/bearish OBs using configurable fractals (3- or 5-bar) with a break confirmation (by Close or High/Low). Optional FVG proximity filter, right-extension, and auto-delete when filled.
How to use
Bullish bias: stalk pullbacks into fresh Bull OBs aligned with a bullish FVG or volumetric support.
If price fills an opposing OB and fails to continue, reassess bias—context may be shifting.
Inputs to know
Fractal Type & Break Method (Close / HL).
Filter with FVG + Max FVG Distance.
Extend Blocks / Delete When Filled / Show Labels.
Alerts
New Order Block Created.
Order Block Touch.
Final Notes
Suggested workflow
Start with Composite Trend (bias).
Mark Swing structure in that direction.
Wait for an Impulse in-direction near an OB / FVG / Volumetric level.
Risk = nearest opposite level or OB edge; targets = FVG midlines / next S/R.
Timeframes & assets
Defaults suit liquid intraday and 1–4H swing.
Slower markets → lengthen lookbacks, lower sensitivity.
Very noisy crypto → keep trend visible, trim drawings (e.g., MSB only, last 3–5 FVGs, 8–12 volume levels).
Keep it readable
Turn off modules you don’t need today—fewer, higher-quality signals beat clutter.
About this release
Internal scoring, smoothing, and detection logic are proprietary. Behavior is controlled via inputs described above.
Trade with a plan, test your settings, and let confluence do the heavy lifting.
Price Action [BreakOut] InternalKey Features and Functionality
Support & Resistance (S/R): The script automatically identifies and draws support and resistance lines based on a user-defined "swing period." These lines are drawn from recent pivot points, and users can customize their appearance, including color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and extension (left, right, or both). The indicator can also display the exact price of each S/R level.
Trendlines: It draws trendlines connecting pivot highs and pivot lows. This feature helps visualize the current trend direction. Users can choose to show only the newest trendlines, customize their length and style, and select the source for the pivot points (e.g., candle close or high/low shadow).
Price Action Pivots: This is a core component that identifies and labels different types of pivots based on price action: Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL). These pivots are crucial for understanding market structure and identifying potential trend changes. The script marks these pivots with shapes and can display their price values.
Fractal Breakouts: The script identifies and signals "fractal breakouts" and "breakdowns" when the price closes above a recent high pivot or below a recent low pivot, respectively. These signals are visually represented with up (⬆) and down (⬇) arrow symbols on the chart.
Customization and Alerts: The indicator is highly customizable. You can toggle on/off various features (S/R, trendlines, pivots, etc.), adjust colors, line styles, and text sizes. It also includes an extensive list of alert conditions, allowing traders to receive notifications for:
Price Crossovers: When the close price crosses over or under a support or resistance level.
Trendline Breaks: When the price breaks above an upper trendline or below a lower trendline.
Fractal Breaks: When a fractal breakout or breakdown occurs.
LuxAlgo® - Price Action Concepts™Price Action Concepts™ is a first of it's kind all-in-one indicator toolkit which includes various features specifically based on pure price action.
Order Blocks w/ volume data, real-time market structure (BOS, CHoCH, EQH/L) w/ 'CHoCH+' being a more confirmed reversal signal, a MTF dashboard, Trend Line Liquidity Zones (real-time), Chart Pattern Liquidity Zones, Liquidity Grabs, and much more detailed customization to get an edge trading price action automatically.
Many traders argue that trading price action is better than using technical indicators due to lag, complexity, and noisy charts. Popular ideas within the trading space that cater towards price action trading include "trading like the banks" or "Smart Money Concepts trading" (SMC), most prominently known within the forex community.
What differentiates price action trading from others forms of technical analysis is that it's main focus is on raw price data opposed to creating values or plots derived from price history.
Mostly all of the features within this script are generated purely from price action, more specifically; swing highs, swing lows, and market structure... which allows users to automate their analysis of price action for any market / timeframe.
🔶 FEATURES
This script includes many features based on Price Action; these are highlighted below:
Market structure (BOS, CHoCH, CHoCH+, EQH/L) (Internal & Swing) multi-timeframe
Volumetric Order Blocks & mitigation methods (bullish & bearish)
Liquidity Concepts
Trend Line Liquidity Zones
Chart Pattern Liquidity
Liquidity Grabs Feature

🔶 BASIC DEMONSTRATION
In the image above we can see a demonstration of the market structure labeling within this indicator. The automatic BOS & CHoCH labels on top of dashed lines give clear indications of breakouts & reversals within the internal market structure (short term price action). The "CHoCH+" label is also demonstrated as it triggers only if price has already made a new higher low, or lower high.
We can also see a solid line with a larger BOS label in the middle of the chart. This label demonstrates a break of structure taking into account the swing market structure (longer term price action). All of these labels are generated in real-time.
🔶 USAGE & EXAMPLES
In the image below we can see how a trade setup could be created using Order Blocks w/ volume metrics to find points of interest in the market, swing / internal market structure to get indications of longer & shorter term reversals, and trend line liquidity zones to find more likely impulses & breakouts within trends.
We can see in the next image below that price came down to the highest volume order block marked out previously as our point of interest for an entry used in confluence with the overall market structure being bullish (swing CHoCH). Due to price closing below the middle Order Block at (24.77%), we saw it was mitigated, and then price revisited liquidity above the Trend Line zone above, leading us to the first Order Block as a target.
You will notice the % values adjust as Order Blocks are touched & mitigated, aligning with the correct volume detected when the Order Block was established.
In the image below we can see more features from within Price Action Concepts™ indicator, including Chart Pattern Liquidity, Fair Value Gaps (one of many Imbalance Concepts), Liquidity Grabs, as well as the primary market structures & OBs.
By using multiple features as such, users can develop a greater interpretation of where liquidity rests in the market, which allows them to develop trading plans a lot easier. Liquidity Grabs are highlighted as blue/red boxes on the wicks during specific price action that indicates the market has made an impulse specifically to take out resting buy or sell side orders.
We can notice in the trade demonstrated below (hindsight example) how price often moves to the areas of the most liquidity, even if unexpected according to classical technical analysis performed by retail traders such as chart patterns. Wicks to take out orders above & potentially trap traders are much more noticeable with features such as these.
The Chart Patterns which can be detected include:
Ascending/Descending Wedges (Asc/Desc Wedge)
Ascending/Descending Broadening Wedges (Asc/Desc BW)
Ascending/Descending/Symmetrical Triangles (Asc/Desc/Sym Triangle)
Double Tops/Bottoms (Double Top/Double BTM)
Head & Shoulders (H&S)
Inverted Head & Shoulders (IH&S)
General support & resistance during undetected patterns
In the image below we can see more features from within the indicator, including Balanced Price Range (another imbalance method similar to FVG), Market Structure Candle Coloring, Accumulation & Distribution zones, Premium & Discount zones w/ a percentage on each zone, the MTF dashboard, as well as the Previous Daily Highs & Lows (one of many highs/lows) displayed on the chart automatically.
The colored candles use more specific market structure analysis, specifically allowing users to visualize when trends are considered "normal" or "strong". By utilizing other features alongside this market structure analysis, such as noticing price retesting the PDL level + the Equilibrium as resistance, a Balanced Price Range below price, the discount with a high 72% metric, and the MTF dashboard displaying an overall bearish structure...
...users can instantly gain a deeper interpretation of price action, make highly confluent trading plans while avoiding classical technical indicators, and use traditional retail trading concepts such as chart patterns / trend lines to their advantage in finding logical areas of liquidity & points of interest in the market.
The image below shows the previous chart zoomed in with 2 liquidity concepts re-enabled & used alongside a new range targeting the same Discount zone.

🔵 BASIC DEMONSTRATION OF ALL FEATURES
1. MARKET STRUCTURE
The preceding image illustrates the market structure functionality within the Smart Money Concepts indicator.
➤ Solid lines: These represent the core indicator's internal structure, forming the foundation for most other components. They visually depict the overall market direction and identify major reversal points marked by significant price movements (denoted as 'x').
➤ Internal Structure: These represent an alternative internal structure with the potential to drive more rapid market shifts. This is particularly relevant when a significant gap exists in the established swing structure, specifically between the Break of Structure (BOS) and the most recent Change of High/Low (CHoCH). Identifying these formations can offer opportunities for quicker entries and potential short-term reversals.
➤ Sweeps (x): These signify potential turning points in the market where liquidity is removed from the structure. This suggests a possible trend reversal and presents crucial entry opportunities. Sweeps are identified within both swing and internal structures, providing valuable insights for informed trading decisions.
➤ Mapping structure: A tool that automatically identifies and connects significant price highs and lows, creating a zig-zag pattern. It visualizes market structure, highlights trends, support/resistance levels, and potential breakouts. Helps traders quickly grasp price action patterns and make informed decisions.
➤ Color-coded candles based on market structure: These colors visually represent the underlying market structure, making it easier for traders to quickly identify trends.
➤ Extreme H&L: It visualizes market structure with extreme high and lows, which gives perspective for macro Market Structure.
2. VOLUMETRIC ORDER BLOCKS
Order blocks are specific areas on a financial chart where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These are not just simple zones; they contain valuable information about market dynamics. Within each of these order blocks, volume bars represent the actual buying and selling activity that took place. These volume bars offer deeper insights into the strength of the order block by showing how much buying or selling power is concentrated in that specific zone.
Additionally, these order blocks can be transformed into Breaker Blocks. When an order block fails—meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing—it becomes a breaker block. Breaker blocks are particularly useful for trading breakouts, as they signal that the market has shifted beyond a previously established zone, offering opportunities for traders to enter in the direction of the breakout.
Here's a breakdown:
➤ Bear Order Blocks (Red): These are zones where a lot of selling happened. Traders see these areas as places where sellers were strong, pushing the price down. When the price returns to these zones, it might face resistance and drop again.
➤ Bull Order Blocks (Green): These are zones where a lot of buying happened. Traders see these areas as places where buyers were strong, pushing the price up. When the price returns to these zones, it might find support and rise again.
These Order Blocks help traders identify potential areas for entering or exiting trades based on past market activity. The volume bars inside blocks show the amount of trading activity that occurred in these blocks, giving an idea of the strength of buying or selling pressure.
➤ Breaker Block: When an order block fails, meaning the price breaks through this zone without reversing, it becomes a breaker block. This indicates a significant shift in market liquidity and structure.
➤ A bearish breaker block occurs after a bullish order block fails. This typically happens when there's an upward trend, and a certain level that was expected to support the market's rise instead gives way, leading to a sharp decline. This decline indicates that sellers have overcome the buyers, absorbing liquidity and shifting the sentiment from bullish to bearish.
Conversely, a bullish breaker block is formed from the failure of a bearish order block. In a downtrend, when a level that was expected to act as resistance is breached, and the price shoots up, it signifies that buyers have taken control, overpowering the sellers.
3. FAIR VALUE GAPS:
A fair value gap (FVG), also referred to as an imbalance, is an essential concept in Smart Money trading. It highlights the supply and demand dynamics. This gap arises when there's a notable difference between the volume of buy and sell orders. FVGs can be found across various asset classes, including forex, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
FVGs in this toolkit have the ability to detect raids of FVG which helps to identify potential price reversals.
Mitigation option helps to change from what source FVGs will be identified: Close, Wicks or AVG.
4. SWING FAILURE PATTERN (SFP):
The Swing Failure Pattern is a liquidity engineering pattern, generally used to fill large orders. This means, the SFP generally occurs when larger players push the price into liquidity pockets with the sole objective of filling their own positions.
SFP is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential market reversals. It works by detecting instances where the price briefly breaks a previous high or low but fails to maintain that breakout, quickly reversing direction.
How it works:
Pattern Detection: The indicator scans for price movements that breach recent highs or lows.
Reversal Confirmation: If the price quickly reverses after breaching these levels, it's identified as an SFP.
➤ SFP Display:
Bullish SFP: Marked with a green symbol when price drops below a recent low before reversing upwards.
Bearish SFP: Marked with a red symbol when price rises above a recent high before reversing downwards.
➤ Deviation Levels: After detecting an SFP, the indicator projects white lines showing potential price deviation:
For bullish SFPs, the deviation line appears above the current price.
For bearish SFPs, the deviation line appears below the current price.
These deviation levels can serve as a potential trading opportunity or areas where the reversal might lose momentum.
With Volume Threshold and Filtering of SFP traders can adjust their trading style:
Volume Threshold: This setting allows traders to filter SFPs based on the volume of the reversal candle. By setting a higher volume threshold, traders can focus on potentially more significant reversals that are backed by higher trading activity.
SFP Filtering: This feature enables traders to filter SFP detection. It includes parameters such as:
5. LIQUIDITY CONCEPTS:
➤ Equal Lows (EQL) and Equal Highs (EQH) are important concepts in liquidity-based trading.
EQL: A series of two or more swing lows that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQH: A series of two or more swing highs that occur at approximately the same price level.
EQLs and EQHs are seen as potential liquidity pools where a large number of stop loss orders or limit orders may be clustered. They can be used as potential reverse points for trades.
This multi-period feature allows traders to select less and more significant EQL and EQH:
➤ Liquidity wicks:
Liquidity wicks are a minor representation of a stop-loss hunt during the retracement of a pivot point:
➤ Buy and Sell side liquidity:
The buy side liquidity represents a concentration of potential buy orders below the current price level. When price moves into this area, it can lead to increased buying pressure due to the execution of these orders.
The sell side liquidity indicates a pool of potential sell orders below the current price level. Price movement into this area can result in increased selling pressure as these orders are executed.
➤ Sweep Liquidation Zones:
Sweep Liquidation Zones are crucial for understanding market structure and potential future price movements. They provide insights into areas where significant market participants have been forced out of their positions, potentially setting up new trading opportunities.
🔵 USAGE & EXAMPLES
The core principle behind the success of this toolkit lies in identifying "confluence." This refers to the convergence of multiple trading indicators all signaling the same information at a specific point or area. By seeking such alignment, traders can significantly enhance the likelihood of successful trades.
MS + OBs
The chart illustrates a highly bullish setup where the price is rejecting from a bullish order block (POC), while simultaneously forming a bullish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP). This occurs after an internal structure change, marked by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The price broke through a bearish order block, transforming it into a breaker block, further confirming the bullish momentum.
The combination of these elements—bullish order blocks, SFP, and CHoCH—creates a powerful bullish signal, reinforcing the potential for upward movement in the market.
SFP + Bear OB
This chart above displays a bearish setup with a high probability of a price move lower. The price is currently rejecting from a bear order block, which represents a key resistance area where significant selling pressure has previously occurred. A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) has also formed near this bear order block, indicating that the price briefly attempted to break above a recent high but failed to sustain that upward movement. This failure suggests that buyers are losing momentum, and the market could be preparing for a move to the downside.
Additionally, we can toggle on the Deviation Area in the SFP section to highlight potential levels where price deviation might occur. These deviation areas represent zones where the price is likely to react after the Swing Failure Pattern:
BUY – SELL sides + EQL
The chart showcases a bullish setup with a high probability of price breaking out of the current sell-side resistance level. The market structure indicates a formation of Equal Lows (EQL), which often suggests a build-up of liquidity that could drive the price higher.
The presence of strong buy-side pressure (69%), indicated by the green zone at the bottom, reinforces this bullish outlook. This area represents a key support zone where buyers are outpacing sellers, providing the foundation for a potential upward breakout.
EQL + Bull ChoCh
This chart illustrates a potential bullish setup, driven by the formation of Equal Lows (EQL) followed by a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH). The presence of Equal Lows often signals a liquidity build-up, which can lead to a reversal when combined with additional bullish signals.
Liquidity grab + Bull ChoCh + FVGs
This chart demonstrates a strong bullish scenario, where several important market dynamics are at play. The price begins its upward momentum from Liquidity grab following a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH), signaling the transition from a bearish phase to a bullish one.
As the price progresses, it performs liquidity grabs, which serve to gather the necessary fuel for further movement. These liquidity grabs often occur before significant price surges, as large market participants exploit these areas to accumulate positions before pushing the price higher.
The chart also highlights a market imbalance area, showing strong momentum as the price moves swiftly through this zone.
In this examples, we see how the combination of multiple “smart money” tools helps identify a potential trade opportunities. This is just one of the many scenarios that traders can spot using this toolkit. Other combinations—such as order blocks, liquidity grabs, fair value gaps, and Swing Failure Patterns (SFPs)—can also be layered on top of these concepts to further refine your trading strategy.
🔵 SETTINGS
Window: limit calculation period
Swing: limit drawing function
Mapping structure: show structural points
Algorithmic Logic: (Extreme-Adjusted) Use max high/low or pivot point calculation
Algorithmic loopback: pivot point look back
Show Last: Amount of Order block to display
Hide Overlap: hide overlapping order blocks
Construction: Size of the order blocks
Fair value gaps: Choose between normal FVG or Breaker FVG
Mitigation: (close - wick - avg) point to mitigate the order block/imbalance
SFP lookback: find a higher / lower point to improve accuracy
Threshold: remove less relevant SFP
Equal H&L: (short-mid-long term) display longer term
Liquidity Prints: Shows wicks of candles where liquidity was grabbed
Sweep Area: Identify Sweep Liquidation areas
By combining these indicators in one toolkit, traders are equipped with a comprehensive suite of tools that address every angle of the Smart Money Concept. Instead of relying on disparate tools spread across various platforms, having them integrated into a single, cohesive system allows traders to easily see confluence and make more informed trading decisions.
Price-Action CandlesWhat is a swing high or swing low?
Swing highs and lows are price extremes. For example say we set our swing length to 5. A candle that is a swing high with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are lower and 5 bars to the right that are lower. A candle that is a swing low with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are higher and 5 bars to the right that are higher.
How are the trend candles calculated?
The trend candles are calculated by storing and comparing historical swing lows and swing highs.
The pinescript code goes as follows:
The pinescript code goes as follows:
var int trend = na
trend := ((hh and high >= psh) or close > csh) ? 1 : ((ll and low <= psl) or close < csl) ? -1 : lh or hl ? 0 : trend
What does that gibberish mean?
-Candle can be GREEN IF
- We have a higher high (current swing high is greater than the previous swing high) and the high is greater than the previous swing high
- OR The current close is greater than the current swing high
-Candle can be RED IF
- We have a lower low (current swing low is less than the previous swing low) and the low is less than the previous swing low
- OR The current close is less than the current swing low
-Candle can be YELLOW IF
- We have a new swing high and the new swing high is less than the previous swing high
- OR We have a new swing low and the new swing low is greater than the previous swing low
If none of the conditions above are true then we continue with whatever color the previous bar was.
What is repainting?
Repainting is "script behavior causing historical vs realtime calculations or plots to behave differently." That definition comes directly from Tradingview. If you want to read the full explanation you can visit it here www.tradingview.com . The price-action candles use swing highs and swing lows which need bars to the left (past) and bars to the right ("future") in order to confirm the swing level. Because of the need to wait for confirmation to for swing levels the plot style can be repainting. With the price-action candles indicator the only repainting part of the indicator is the labels. The price-action candles themselves WILL NOT REPAINT. The labels however can be set to repaint or not depending on the user preference. If the user opts to use repainting then the label location is shifted back by the length of the price-action. So if the "Price-Action Length" input is set to 10, and the user wants repainting, the swing high/low label will be shifted back 10 bars. If the user opts for no repainting, the label will not be shifted and instead show on the exact bar the swing level was confirmed.
Examples Below.
Repaint
Here the labels are shifted back the price-action length.
Non-Repaint
Here the labels are not shifted back because the input setting is set to not repaint.
Multi-timeframe Analysis
The users can view the trend from multiple different timeframes at once with a table displayed at the bottom of their charts. The timeframe can be lower or higher than the chart timeframe.
More examples
Be on the lookout for the Price Action Candles (Lower) indicator where you can view the multi-timeframe labels on a lower price grid in order to see the history over time!
Price Action Volumetric Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The Price Action Volumetric Breaker Blocks indicator is designed to identify and visualize significant price levels in the market. It combines concepts of price action, volume analysis, and market structure to provide traders with a comprehensive view of potential support and resistance areas. This indicator identifies "breaker blocks," which are price zones where the market has shown significant interest in the past.
These blocks are created based on swing highs and lows, and are further analyzed using volume data to determine their strength. The indicator also tracks market structure shifts, providing additional context to price movements.
By visualizing these key levels and market structure changes, traders can gain insights into potential areas of price reversal or continuation, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Breaker Block Identification: The indicator automatically detects and draws breaker blocks based on swing highs and lows. These blocks represent areas of potential support and resistance.
Volume-Weighted Strength Analysis: Each breaker block is analyzed using volume data to determine its bullish and bearish strength. This is visually represented by the proportion of green (bullish) and red (bearish) coloring within each block.
Market Structure Break (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS): The indicator identifies and labels Market Structure Breaks (MSB) and Break of Structure (BOS) events, providing context to larger market trends.
Customizable Settings:
- Adjustable swing length for identifying pivot points
- Option to show a specific number of recent breaker blocks
- Choice between wick or close price for violation checks
- Toggle to hide overlapping blocks for cleaner analysis
Violation Detection: Automatically detects when a breaker block has been violated (broken through), either by wick or close price, depending on user settings.
Overlap Control: Provides an option to hide overlapping order blocks, ensuring that the chart remains clean and easy to read when multiple blocks are detected in close proximity.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Breaker Blocks:
Breaker blocks are key areas where the price moves through and invalidates a previously identified order block. The indicator detects a breaker block when the price violates an order block by exceeding its high or low (depending on whether it's a bullish or bearish block). This violation is determined by either the wick or the close of a candle, depending on the user's selection in the "Violation Check" setting. When a breaker block is detected, the indicator removes the violated order block from the chart, signaling that the zone is no longer relevant for future price action.
Bullish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bearish order block (red) is violated by the price closing above the block’s top boundary or when the wick surpasses this level. It signals that a prior bearish structure has been invalidated, and the market may shift to a bullish trend.
Bearish Breaker Block: This occurs when a bullish order block (teal) is violated by the price closing below the block’s bottom boundary or when the wick drops below it. It suggests that a previous bullish structure has been broken, indicating potential bearish momentum.
Market Structure Labels:
"MSB" (Market Structure Break) labels indicate a potential change in trend direction.
"BOS" (Break of Structure) labels confirm the continuation of the current trend after breaking a significant level.
Block Strength:
A block with more green indicates stronger bullish interest.
A block with more red indicates stronger bearish interest.
The relative sizes of the green and red portions show the balance of power between buyers and sellers at that level.

Price Action Momentum MTFThis script has a formula that compares the old price to new price and assigns a value based on the price action. It has a built in MA to track the momentum of the price action.
Price action plus//The system combines the divergence of A/D and OBV with identifying reversal points using Japanese candlestick patterns, creating an enhanced version of price action. This helps investors more easily and accurately recognize reversal patterns in technical analysis.
Divergence of A/D vs. OBV includes:
Positive divergence: Identifies smart money leaving the market.
Negative divergence: Identifies smart money entering the market.
Reversal candlestick patterns include:
Buy signals: Morning Star, Bullish Engulfing, Hammer.
Strong Buy signals: Buy signals + Negative divergence
Sell signals: Evening Star, Bearish Engulfing, Shooting Star.
Strong Sell signals : Sell signals + Positive divergence
//Hope this system will be helpful for you!
Price Action Top/BottomThis script is a variation from Auto Fibo retration.
It makrs top and bottom prices. You can use to study the price action.
The user can choose the line color, to show or not, the marks green and red
The user can choose the minimal candles between top and bottom, by default is 17
The deep is the percentage of the diference about the last bottom/top from the previous one.
Price Action Trend Overlay | SimpleShows trends, based on the rate of change of the underlying price action. By default, keeps you in a trend longer than Heikin Ashi. Uses real candle values. Works on any asset and market; does not need volume as an input. Includes overbought/oversold information that is more responsive than standard RSI.
Price Action By ProfitAlgo.io Price Action Alerts combined with the BackEnd Order Matrix and TrendSync Tool Kit.
ProfitAlgo.io Price Action
A companion tool to the Backend Order Matrix and TrendSync, this indicator helps visualize trade direction with A/B/C/D retracement lines that align with fib retracement levels which can react as a BIG BOUNCE RETEST ENTRY, multi-timeframe support/resistance, and an RSI filter. It’s designed as a guide for bias confirmation, not a signal to enter every mark. Combine it with the Backend Order Matrix (for liquidity/stop-hunt zones) and TrendSync (for trend confirmation) to better spot where stop hunts become opportunities and price action aligns with higher-probability setups.
Price is shown bullish and the retracement lines are defined by the dotted lines. You may color the lines to your discretion to be able to quickly differentiate the different retracments lines on the chart aligning to Fib levels for possible early entries. Here you can anticipate for price to have a significant reaction with placing your stop loss being the Buy-Side Liquidity as show below. Though the BackEnd Order Matrix liquidity can be swept so keep in mind being more patient to wait for the liquidity sweep as the point entry can serve as another approach to minimize risk exposure.
Exiting at the SellSide Liquidity where price can have an reaction to the downside.
Vise Versa for bearish trend following retracement entires.
⚙️ Settings Guide – ProfitAlgo.io Price Action
Retracement Line (A/B/C/D) → Shows potential price action setups where price can have a strong reaction. Having Price above the lines- price can be shown to buy at these levels. If Price is below the lines and the trend is showing bearish the price can be shown to retest and sell at these levels.
Multi-Timeframe S/R → Plots higher-timeframe support and resistance levels for added context.
RSI Filter → Filters entries when RSI conditions are extreme, helping avoid false setups.
Top-Down Analysis (TDA) → Aligns lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe structure.
📌 Tip: The TrendSync's trend detection visual representation Together with Backend Order Matrix (for liquidity zones/stop hunts) helps Traders understand trend based trading with liquidity stop hunts which can be used as a entry model that does not happen as many times as the Price Action Tool does for early entries signals.

Price Action SuiteThe TRN Price Action Suite incorporates a treasure trove of time and price action concepts. It includes a set of trading tools that, when combined, allow for a more accurate view of the market. This enables traders to find high probability entry points before the market moves to the next liquidation level.
Features of the TRN Price Action Suite:
(Inverse) Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Order Blocks (OB)
FVG and OB with Cumulative Volume Delta
Volume Imbalances
Market Structure
Liquidity levels
Sessions
Kill zones/Opening Range
The indicator helps traders to easily identify favorable market conditions and high probability trade setups. It automatically finds time and price action concepts and displays them in an intuitive way on the chart. One of the highlights is the detection of Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks in connection with Cumulative Volume Delta (approx.). You will not find this connection anywhere else.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap occurs when there are inefficiencies in the market or imbalanced buying and selling pressures. Fair value gaps can become a magnet for the price before continuing in the same direction. Special attention should be paid to FVGs that are supported by support and resistance levels, as these offer a higher probability of success for trades. Additionally, the indicator plots inverse FVG (iFVG). These are FVG that are “closed” by a FVG in the other direction. IFVGs are a strong sign of the market to continue in the direction of the iFVG.
In addition to the FVGs you see on the chart, you can add also FVGs from a higher timeframe including the cumulative buy/sell volume. For this you can set “Timeframe 1” and “Timeframe 2” in the settings to your preferred timeframes. E.g. you trade on a 5-minute chart, and you want to see FVGs from 4 hours and a daily chart, then you set Timeframe 1 to 4 h and to Timeframe 2 to 1 D.
Order Blocks and Volume Imbalances can also be shown from higher timeframes.
Order Blocks (OBs)
Order blocks are areas on the chart where a high concentration of limit orders was found in the past. They can serve as potential support or resistance areas. These represent areas in the market where there is an oversupply (supply) or an excess demand (demand). They are often key zones for potential turning points or continuations of the current trend. A bullish OB, for example, is the last bearish candle before a significant uptrend.
FVGs and OBs with Cumulative Volume Delta
The TRN Price Action Suite can show FVGs and OBs with the corresponding Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It is a metric to analyze market dynamics by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volumes over a specific timeframe. It is used to determine the strength of the FVG/OB. The FVG/OB includes two bars on the left side, indicating the cumulative buy volume in green as well es the cumulative sell volume in red. At the right side of the FVG/OB box the ratio of the cumulative buy/sell volume is displayed. A high ratio over 1, for example 1.5, indicates a lot of buying pressure. On the hand, a ratio far below 1, for example 0.66, indicates a lot of selling pressure.
Volume Imbalances (VIBs)
Volume Imbalances indicate a price gap from the previous close, but unlike gaps, there is no absence of trading activity within a specific price range. Bullish VIs have opening and closing prices above the previous close, with overlap between the current low and previous high. Bearish VIs are vice versa.
Market Structure
The market structure represents the dominant trend in the market. It is based on swing highs and lows. For instance, if the price makes higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) the market structure represents an uptrend. Vice versa if price makes lower lows (LL) and lower highs (LH) the market trend is down.
If the market structure is up, traders can enter positions in a pullback. For this, a trader could use a FVG or an OB as an entry condition.
Market Structure Shift (MSS) (Change of Character (ChoCh))
A market structure shift occurs when the market transitions from one dominant trend to a different one, often signaling a potential change in the underlying market dynamics. A MSS signals the start of a new trend. It signals the change from an uptrend to a down trend and vice versa. Therefore, it is sometimes called change of character (ChoCh). A valid MSS should ideally occur in a strong supply or demand zone. This indicates that the market may be approaching a trend reversal or consolidation.
Break of Structure (BOS)
A break of structure happens when the market breaks out of its established trading range or pattern. The market continues its dominant trend, indicated by the last MSS.
In an uptrend, for example, each time the price breaks through a new high, a "bullish BOS" is formed. This indicates that the market can overcome previous resistance levels and continue to rise.
Levels
One core concept in trading is that price flows to areas of liquidity. Natural liquidity areas are the current day open, high, low (CDO, CDH, CDL) or the previous day high, low, close (PDH, PDL, PDC). The same is true for the current week (CWO, CWH, CWL) and the previous week (PWH, PWL, PWC).
Pay special attention in case some of these levels are close together. Then these levels serve like a magnet for the price. The TRN Price Action Suite indicator can cluster these levels fully automatically together to give the trader the flexibility to focus solely on the trading part.
Sessions
Sessions are the trading hours during which the banks are actively trading. The three main trading sessions:
Asia: Most of the volume from the Asian players are handled within this session.
London: This is where the European players are most active.
New York: In the New York session all the USA players are active as well as all the other American players. Furthermore, a lot of global players are active in this session as well.
Killzones
A kill zone in trading refers to a specific time period during the trading day when the market experiences increased volatility and liquidity. It is an opportunity for traders to capitalize on potential price movements and generate profits. There are several different killzones during the day.
There are three different types of killzones:
Indices/Futures: This one is suitable if you trade products like the ES, NQ, FDAX, CL or Stocks, Options.
Forex: If you trade Forex this setting will mark the most liquid periods of the day.
Opening Range: In case you trade the opening range of the sessions, use this setting.
Trading Example
Price-Action Candles (Lower)What is a swing high or swing low?
Swing highs and lows are price extremes. For example say we set our swing length to 5. A candle that is a swing high with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are lower and 5 bars to the right that are lower. A candle that is a swing low with a swing length of 5 will have 5 bars to the left that are higher and 5 bars to the right that are higher.
How is the trend coloring calculated?
The trend coloring is calculated the exact same way as our trend candles study... by storing and comparing historical swing lows and swing highs.
The pinescript code goes as follows:
The pinescript code goes as follows:
var int trend = na
trend := ((hh and high >= psh) or close > csh) ? 1 : ((ll and low <= psl) or close < csl) ? -1 : lh or hl ? 0 : trend

-Trend can be GREEN IF
- We have a higher high (current swing high is greater than the previous swing high) and the high is greater than the previous swing high
- OR The current close is greater than the current swing high

- We have a lower low (current swing low is less than the previous swing low) and the low is less than the previous swing low
- OR The current close is less than the current swing low
-Trend can be YELLOW IF
- We have a new swing high and the new swing high is less than the previous swing high
- OR We have a new swing low and the new swing low is greater than the previous swing low
If none of the conditions above are true then we continue with whatever color the previous bar was.
What is repainting?
Repainting is "script behavior causing historical vs realtime calculations or plots to behave differently." That definition comes directly from Tradingview. If you want to read the full explanation you can visit it here www.tradingview.com . The price-action candles use swing highs and swing lows which need bars to the left (past) and bars to the right ("future") in order to confirm the swing level. Because of the need to wait for confirmation for swing levels the plot style can be repainting. The Price-Action Candles (Lower) indicator, or this indicator, has no repainting anywhere. We opt to not shift back the candle coloring which causes the repainting, but it is relevant to discuss since this indicator's sibling (Price-Action Candles) can have repainting labels.
Repaint
Here the labels are shifted back the price-action length. Repainting is not present in the Price-Candles (Lower) study, but can be found in this indicator's sibling (Price-Action Candles).
Non-Repaint
Here the labels are not shifted back or "repainted". Repainting is not present in the Price-Candles (Lower) study, but can be found in this indicator's sibling (Price-Action Candles).
Multi-timeframe Analysis
The users can view multi-timeframe historical price action trend via this lower study. Each timeframe is plotted as its own on the lower pane and you can determine what timeframe it is by the label next to the plot.
More examples
Pair the Price-Action Candles (Lower) indicator with our main price indicator that colors candles based on trend and can show price action labels.
Price Action Box RetracementsThe Price Action Box Retracements Indicator offers a fresh perspective on price analysis, departing from the conventional fixed-length lookback period commonly used in trading indicators. This indicator embraces a more flexible and adaptable approach, taking into account changes in price action behavior and avoiding overfitting. With a design philosophy rooted in the principle of "Keep it simple, stupid!" (KISS), this indicator allows users to customize just one variable: Price Box Size.
Imagine the price action as a journey within a box or channel, defined by significant pivots from the past that act as support and resistance levels. The Price Action Box Retracements Indicator visualizes the midpoints between these pivots, representing half-point retracements. By adjusting the "Price Box Size" variable, users can select the size of the price action box that the script will identify on the chart. A larger value will look for a larger box/channel, meaning the price will stay within it for a longer duration. Think of it as switching to a slower timeframe without changing the chart resolution.
The indicator plots a median line within the price action box, which changes color based on the position of the price action within the box. When the price action is trading below the median, the line is displayed in red, indicating a potential for short entries. Conversely, when the price action is above the box median, the line turns green, suggesting opportunities for long entries. An orange color is used when the price action breaks outside the box, signaling the start of a new trend or a measured move where the box size is expected to double.
Sudden changes in the median location are crucial signals that the price action has broken outside its previous box and created a new one. Usually, the price action will attempt to return back and test its old box boundaries or median (support/resistance) before continuing further. If the new box is positioned above the previous one, it indicates an upward channel (uptrend), while a box below the previous one suggests a descending channel (downtrend). A flat median line represents a ranging market, where the price action lacks a clear directional bias.
In addition to the median plot, the script also offers a pivot-anchored moving average, assisting traders in identifying smaller trends and potential entry points within a larger price action box.
Experience a new approach to price analysis with the Price Action Box Retracements Indicator and enhance your trading strategies with simplicity and flexibility.
Price Action Color Forecast (Expo)█ Overview
The Price Action Color Forecast Indicator , is an innovative trading tool that uses the power of historical price action and candlestick patterns to predict potential future market movements. By analyzing the colors of the candlesticks and identifying specific price action events, this indicator provides traders with valuable insights into future market behavior based on past performance.
█ Calculations
The Price Action Color Forecast Indicator systematically analyzes historical price action events based on the colors of the candlesticks. Upon identifying a current price action coloring event, the indicator searches through its past data to find similar patterns that have happened before. By examining these past events and their outcomes, the indicator projects potential future price movements, offering traders valuable insights into how the market might react to the current price action event.
The indicator prioritizes the analysis of the most recent candlesticks before methodically progressing toward earlier data. This approach ensures that the generated candle forecast is based on the latest market dynamics.
The core functionality of the Price Action Color Forecast Indicator:
Analyzing historical price action events based on the colors of the candlesticks.
Identifying similar events from the past that correspond to the current price action coloring event.
Projecting potential future price action based on the outcomes of past similar events.
█ Example
In this example, we can see that the current price action pattern matches with a similar historical price action pattern that shares the same characteristics regarding candle coloring. The historical outcome is then projected into the future. This helps traders to understand how the past pattern evolved over time.
█ How to use
The indicator provides traders with valuable insights into how the market might react to the current price action event by examining similar historical patterns and projecting potential future price movements.
█ Settings

Price Action in action
What?
Price Action in Action is an indicator to help Price Action learners and practitioners to get everything related for Price Action in one place.
Price Action is:
Price + Volume = Action
In this indicator, we have the following features available:
Support/Resistance
Using the RSI with different periods in a multiple of 7 (7, 14, 21, 28), we first determine the overbought (above 70, customizable) and oversold (below 30, customizable) regions. Then we pick up the highest point and lowest point in the RSI values in the overbought and oversold regions, respectively. These are the point, historically supply/demand emerged for surety to push down/up the RSI indicator and the corresponding price. So, these are the most accurate way, we believe, to draw support/resistance (or demand/supply) in the chart. By default, the Support is green color and Resistance is red color. To give a visual representation, we differentiate the different shades of green and red. For example, for Level-1 (i.e. 7 by default) we use the darkest shade (0 transparency) and Level-4 (i.e. 28 by default) we use lighter shade (60 transparency). Note please: you can customize the color of support and resistance lines (say if you want resistance as green and support as red). The respective shades (transparency) will be automatically adjusted accordingly. But those shade (transparency) levels are not customizable, they are fixed (please bear with it for version-1 at least).
Strength of Support/Resistance
In the chart above/below the Resistance / Support lines you can see the tiny labels with some numbers like 1, 2.
We found out how many times a particular support/resistance is appearing across multiple RSI periods. E.g. if price P1 appears 2 times among 4 different RSI periods, the number will be 2 for that calculation, and so on.
There can be multiple presence of these numbers in a support/resistance line (i.e. multiple tiny labels). Something like: 1, 1, 2 (into different candles). This means the same support/resistance is tested so many times in different occasion (means there is a RSI max/min coincides in this level over multiple occasions) at different candles.
This will help you to intuitionally gauge the “strength” of a support/resistance line.
The more the marrier, unworthy to mention.
Candle Stick Patterns
Well: we don’t need to tell anything about the Candlestick. All of you know it better than us. And it’s a time proven, zero-lag mechanism to judge the Price-Action is unfolding in the market. We do not know if there is anything better possible than this time tested patterns to judge the prevailing sentiments of market.
Price-Action does not complete without finding out the Candlestick Patterns correctly.
And in this indicator your will get all of these: Single Candle such as Doji (default off), Marubozu, Spinner, hammers, inverted-hammer etc. ; 2 candles like Tweezer, Inside Candle, Engulfing; 3 candles like morning star/evening star.
In the multi candle patterns (2/3 candles), we are grouping the candles with a dotted rectangle such that it is clear which 2/3 candles are part of the pattern. E.g. Morning Star: 3 candles are grouped in a dotted rectangle and the Morning Star label will come to the latest candle (3rd most – as the pattern is detected reliably only on the completion of the 3rd final candle).
Of course, any program can not eliminate your trained eyes and brain to capture the patterns. But we have provided sufficient knobs to adjust various parameters to tweak the candle-pattern detection. Such as Strict Inside Candle(Harami) Boolean knob where the whole current candle including wicks will be inside the body part of the previous big candle. For non-strict mode, the current candle just inside the previous candle, possibly by wicks.
To make it better usable, for every such knobs (which are not obvious) we have added user-friendly tooltip (just mouse hover the question mark (?) besides the control/switch). There are plenty of it.
Volume
Here we have a rudimentary (yet effective) way to judge the volumes.
We find out the Volume Weighted Moving Average (VMWA) of the 20-period (default, but customizable) and the latest volume. If the latest volume is more than the 20 period vwma, we just add a grey diamond on the top of the candle to denote it’s attracting volumes. Of course, we provide a Weight coefficient (default is set to 1). So if the current bar’s volume on bar’s completion is more than the 20 period volume vmwa times the weigh-cofficient, we mark it with a tiny grey diamond.
Points to be noted:
In all places we mark the indication only on the completion of the bar (technically speaking we have checks, as far as possible, with barstate.isconfirmed). However, if you wish, you can turn it off for Candlestick (as some experts may want to check candlestick on the real time, even before the closing of bars).
In case if you see the chart looks cluttered (because of many information, specially in smaller timeframes like 5 min), there are controls given in the settings to toggle each and every features.
By default, we turn off Doji candles (all 3 types of Doji’s – normal, Gravestone & Dragonfly) as they are mainly indecision. However, you can toggle it to turn it on.
It does not give you any Buy/Sell call. The interpretation it does not have.
Why?
What’s unique in it?
As we already mentioned our intention is to include Price (in forms of Support / Resistance), Volume and Action (sentiments in terms of Candlestick patterns) into a single place. And so far, to the best of our knowledge, we could not come across a single indicator provides all of these.
There were works available to determine the RSI based support / resistance zones. Those are great piece works at that time (lets say 3 years back when PineScript was in earlier versions). To the best of our knowledge those does not cover up finding out the lowest / highest point of RSI and the corresponding price to get the simplistic and distinct support/resistance lines.
We have the intuitive support/resistance strength included which we could not found out in current set of available indicators.
To the best of our knowledge, there seems no indicator can detect 3-candle patterns which are extremely popular to detect trend reversals (such as Morning Star or Evening Star). Moreover for the multi-candle patterns we are grouping the candles part of the pattens (2-candles or 3-candles) using a dotted rectangle such that it’s visually clearly (and a well educative material for Price-Action learners also).
Mentions:
There are many works which inspire us along the way. Honestly: we sometimes forgot which all indicators we experimented with. We are sincerely apologetic in case we forgot to mention. A few note-worthy:
There is an indicator from user “repo32” named as “Candlestick Patterns Identified (updated 3/11/15)”. (We could not be able to contact “repo32”). We are inspired from his work that it’s feasible to detect Candlestick patterns.
There is an awesome work done by “RSI Based Automatic Demand and Supply” by user “shtcoinr”. The idea of consulting multiple RSI levels to find out the demand/supply zone we inspired from him. (We did contact “shtcoinr” and got his kind permission to use the concept.)
We are greatly thankful to these abovementioned wizards for their pioneering a-prior work in this front.
And of course, this TradingView platform to provide this abstraction, facilitates and felicitates collaborative contributions.
Ultimately, what’s for you?
That’s the main question. What’s for you?
Price-action comprises of following 3 tasks (at least):
Draw support/resistance lines in the chart.
Once price reaches at the support/resistance line, you fervently look out the candles’ formation to mentally map to the candle patterns. Your aim is divine: You want to judge if the price-action will continue or take a rejection/reversal.
Then you double-confirm with the volume (in a non-overlaid chart below).
Finally take a trade.
For a price-action newbie or seasoned, expert practitioner, you must be doing all the above tasks regularly and manually, in a mechanical, mundane way. There come the humanly subjectivity & the inevitable emotions . This indicator, being a piece of program/code in PineScript latest version v5 , eliminates (or at least, reduces to a great extend) that subjectivity & emotions out of the way of decision making . Thus resulting better yield.
Of course, you can argue that you draw slanted trend lines also. We recommend an already existing indicator by user LuxAlgo named as “Trendlines with Breaks ”, if you wish so.

HBK Price Action Strategy HBKPrice Action Strategy for XAUUSD with a Favorable Risk-Reward Ratio
Understanding the Strategy:
This strategy leverages price action principles to identify potential entry and exit points for XAUUSD on a 5-minute timeframe. The core idea is to identify price action patterns that suggest a high probability of a particular direction, and then to set stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and reward.
Key Price Action Patterns to Watch:
Pin Bar: A pin bar is a candlestick with a long wick in one direction and a small body in the opposite direction. It often signals a reversal in the current trend.
Inside Bar: An inside bar forms when the current candle's high is lower than the previous candle's high, and the current candle's low is higher than the previous candle's low. It often indicates indecision or a potential breakout.
Engulfing Pattern: An engulfing pattern occurs when the current candle completely engulfs the previous candle. A bullish engulfing pattern signals a potential uptrend, while a bearish engulfing pattern signals a potential downtrend.
Risk-Reward Ratio:
A favorable risk-reward ratio is crucial for long-term trading success. Aim for a minimum risk-reward ratio of 1:2, meaning you risk $1 to potentially gain $2.
Entry and Exit Signals:
Long Entry:
Identify a bullish pin bar or engulfing pattern.
Wait for a confirmation candle to close above the pin bar's high or the engulfing pattern's high.
Place a stop-loss below the recent swing low.
Set a take-profit target at a key resistance level or a multiple of the stop-loss distance.
Short Entry:
Identify a bearish pin bar or engulfing pattern.
Wait for a confirmation candle to close below the pin bar's low or the engulfing pattern's low.
Place a stop-loss above the recent swing high.
Set a take-profit target at a key support level or a multiple of the stop-loss distance.
Additional Tips:
Use Support and Resistance Levels: Identify key support and resistance levels to set your stop-loss and take-profit targets.
Consider Market Sentiment: Pay attention to market sentiment and news events that may impact gold prices.
Manage Risk: Always use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses.
Be Patient: Don't force trades. Wait for high-probability setups.
Practice Discipline: Stick to your trading plan and avoid impulsive decisions.
Remember:
Price action trading requires practice and patience.
Backtest your strategy on historical data to refine your approach.
Always adapt to changing market conditions.
By following these guidelines and practicing disciplined risk management, you can increase your chances of success in trading XAUUSD on a 5-minute timeframe.
