Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Automatic High/Low Tracking
This indicator automatically tracks and draws liquidity levels (recent highs and lows) from up to 6 custom timeframes directly on your chart. It’s designed for advanced traders who want to visualize important swing points and liquidity pools across multiple timeframes—ideal for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, and price action trading.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Support:
Select up to 6 different timeframes (ex: 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, etc.), each with separate color and visibility controls.
Real Liquidity (No Repaint):
Levels are only drawn from fully closed bars on each timeframe—no lines from currently forming candles, ensuring accuracy and no forward-looking bias.
Automatic Detection:
Highs and lows are detected automatically. Levels that get swept (price breaks through) are converted to dashed lines for easy visual distinction.
Customizable:
Choose line colors for highs/lows and set the maximum number of active levels per timeframe to keep charts clean.
Extended Lines:
All levels are extended to the right, helping you see how current price interacts with past liquidity.
How It Works:
On every new bar of your chosen higher timeframe(s), the indicator records the high and low of the previous (just-closed) candle.
These levels are extended as rays until price sweeps (crosses) them.
When a level is swept, it is redrawn as a dashed line to highlight liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
No lines are drawn for the “live” bar—only confirmed, closed levels are displayed.
Who is this for?
SMC, ICT, and price action traders seeking high-confidence liquidity zones.
Intraday, swing, and multi-timeframe traders who want an automated, visual edge.
Anyone wanting to avoid repainting or “fake” levels from unfinished candles.
Tip:
Combine this indicator with your favorite order block, fair value gap (FVG), or market structure tools for even greater context and confluence.
Disclaimer:
No indicator guarantees profits. Always use with proper risk management and in conjunction with your trading plan.

Thursday High & Friday Low Breakout (Safe)This TradingView Pine Script indicator is designed to help traders visually track two key situational breakout patterns that occur across the Thursday–Monday trading window. Specifically, it detects:
Whether the high of Thursday has been taken out on Friday, and
Whether the low of Friday has been breached on Monday.
These conditions are based on commonly observed market behaviors where key highs and lows from the previous days often act as liquidity targets or decision points. By identifying these events, traders can better understand the unfolding market structure and anticipate potential follow-through or reversals.
The script stores Thursday's high and Friday's low at the close of each respective day and evaluates the breakout conditions in real-time as new bars are printed. When Friday’s price action exceeds Thursday’s high, an upward-pointing green triangle is plotted above the bar. Conversely, when Monday’s price breaks below Friday’s low, a red downward triangle is plotted below the bar.
Unlike scripts that rely on label.new (which can create compatibility issues on certain platforms or versions), this version uses plotshape() to ensure wide compatibility and reliable visual cues, even on older Pine Script environments. This makes it lightweight, robust, and ideal for traders who want a quick-glance tool without cluttering their charts.
The indicator is best used on 1H, 4H, or daily timeframes to clearly observe the Thursday–Friday–Monday structure. It works well in both trending and consolidating markets as a tool to mark potential liquidity sweeps or break-of-structure setups.

SuperTrend Confluence Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script enhances the classic SuperTrend indicator by integrating volume dynamics, retracement detection, and a multi-asset trend matrix—alongside an automatic mitigation-level drawing system. It's designed for traders who want to see not just trend direction, but the confluence of trend strength, volatility-adjusted retracements, and capital flow through volume pressure. It visually maps key transitions in market structure while offering a clean, color-coded overview of multiple symbols and timeframes in a single chart.
CONCEPTS
At the core is the traditional SuperTrend , which determines directional bias using Average True Range (ATR) with a volatility multiplier. This script overlays that with a dynamic volume histogram that scales relative to recent volume standard deviation, coloring volume bursts within the trend. Retracement signals are triggered when price pulls back toward the SuperTrend level but respects it—quantified through normalized distance sensitivity. On top of that, the indicator automatically draws and manages horizontal support/resistance zones that appear at key trend shifts. These levels persist and are cleared based on configurable rules such as wick/body sweeps or consecutive candle closes. A multi-asset, multi-timeframe table then gives an instant snapshot of trend status across five user-defined symbols and timeframes.
FEATURES
SuperTrend : Configurable ATR length and multiplier for flexible trend sensitivity.
Volumetric Histogram : Gradient-filled candles anchored to SuperTrend bands, scaled by relative volume to indicate activity intensity during trends.
Retracement Arrows : Signals printed when price nears the SuperTrend level without breaking it, allowing identification of high-probability continuation zones.
Volume TP Markers : Diamond markers flag high-volume events, contextualizing price moves with liquidity bursts.
Automatic Structure Levels : Draws clean horizontal lines at significant trend transitions, with optional volatility-based band fills. These levels self-update and clear based on price interaction logic.
Trend Table : Displays trend direction (▲/▼) across five assets and five timeframes. Each cell is colored according to trend bias, providing a compact overview for multi-market confluence.
USAGE
Start by loading the indicator on your main chart and adjusting the ATR Length and Multiplier to match your strategy timeframe. Use lower values for scalping and higher values for swing trading. The histogram bars will appear as colored candles above or below the SuperTrend level, indicating how strong volume is within that trend. Arrow signals suggest minor pullbacks within the trend, which can act as entry opportunities. The level system will automatically plot key price zones during trend flips; if "Body" is selected for mitigation, price must close through the level to invalidate it. If "Wick" is chosen, a single wick breach is enough. Adjust expiry and rejection settings to fine-tune how long levels stay on chart. Finally, enable the Multi-Asset Table to view live trend signals across popular symbols like AAPL or NVDA in different timeframes, helping spot macro-to-micro alignment for higher-confidence trades.
BVB dominance bars
Hello everyone, this is my first indicator. these candles shows you who's in control. I like to think its some what close to heikin ashi candles as it shows you the Trend but doesn't average it out. also shows you when there is indecision. please read the instructions on how it works. its not a stand alone strategy. but adds value to your own strategy.
📖 How It Works
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is a visual tool that colors candles based on market control—whether bulls or bears are in charge. It uses a custom metric comparing the price's relationship to a smoothed moving average (EMA), then normalizes that difference over time to express relative bullish or bearish pressure.
Here’s the breakdown:
Bulls vs Bears Logic:
A short-term EMA (default: 14-period) is used to establish a midpoint reference.
Bull Pressure is calculated as how far the high is above this EMA.
Bear Pressure is how far the low is below this EMA.
These are normalized over a lookback period (default: 120 bars) to produce percentile scores (0–100) for both bulls and bears.
Dominance & Color Coding:
The indicator compares normalized bull and bear scores.
Candles are color-coded based on:
Bright Lime: Strong Bull Dominance (with high confidence)
Soft Lime/Yellow: Moderate Bull Control
Bright Red: Strong Bear Dominance
Soft Red/Yellow: Moderate Bear Control
Gray: Neutral/Low conviction
Optional Live Label:
A small floating label shows who has control: “Bull Control,” “Bear Control,” or “Neutral.”
🧠 How to Use It (Example Strategy)
The BvB Dominance Bars indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal but a market sentiment overlay. It’s most effective when combined with your own strategy, like price action or trend-following tools.
Here’s an example use case:
🧪 Reversal Confirmation Strategy
Objective: Catch high-probability reversals during key kill zones or supply/demand levels.
Setup:
Mark your key support/resistance zones using your standard method (e.g., FVGs, liquidity sweeps, or ICT PD arrays).
Wait for price to reach one of these zones.
Watch candle colors from the BvB Dominance Bars:
If you expect a bullish reversal, wait for a transition from red/gray candles to lime green or bright lime (bullish dominance taking over).
If you expect a bearish reversal, look for a change from green/gray to red or bright red.
Entry Filter:
Only enter if the dominant color holds for 2+ candles.
Avoid trades when candles are gray or yellow (indecision/neutral).
Exit Option:
Exit if dominance shifts against you (e.g., from lime to red), or use structure-based stops.
⚙️ Settings You Can Adjust:
BvB Period: Controls how fast EMA responds.
Bars Back: Determines how long the normalization looks back.
Thresholds: Influence how strong the dominance must be to change candle color.
✅ Best Used When:
You already have a bias and just want a confirmation of sentiment.
You're trading intraday and want a feel for shifting momentum without relying on noisy indicators.
You want a clean, color-coded overlay to help filter out fakeouts and indecision.
Swing Highs and Lows Detector🔍 Swing Highs and Lows Detector
The Swing Highs and Lows Detector is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify meaningful structural shifts in price action, based on swing point logic and internal trend shifts.
📈 What It Does
This indicator automatically identifies and labels:
HH (Higher High) – Price broke above the previous swing high
LH (Lower High) – Price failed to break the previous high, signaling potential weakness
LL (Lower Low) – Price broke below the previous swing low
HL (Higher Low) – Price maintained a higher support level, indicating strength
The script distinguishes between bullish and bearish internal shifts and tracks the highest/lowest points between those shifts to determine the swing structure.
⚙️ How It Works
You can choose between two shift detection modes:
"Open": Compares closing price to the first open of the opposite streak
"High/Low": Uses the high of bearish or low of bullish candles
Once a shift is confirmed, the indicator scans the bars between shifts to find the most significant swing high or low
When a valid swing is detected, it’s labeled directly on the chart with color-coded markers
🛎️ Built-in Alerts
Set alerts for:
Higher High
Lower High
Lower Low
Higher Low
These alerts help you catch key structural shifts in real time — great for breakout traders, structure-based analysts, and smart money concepts (SMC) strategies.
✅ How to Use
Confirm Trend Strength or Reversals – Use HH/HL to confirm an uptrend, LL/LH to confirm a downtrend
Combine with Liquidity Sweeps or Zones – Ideal for SMC or Wyckoff-style setups
Entry/Exit Triggers – Use swing breaks to time entries or exits near key structural points
TK47 36 ChambersTK47 36 Chambers is a precision-crafted EMA (Exponential Moving Average) tool designed to help traders align with multi-timeframe trends while keeping price action clear and uncluttered. Built around the powerful 36 EMA, this script plots the current timeframe’s high, low, and median EMAs as a visual "chamber" or cloud, giving instant feedback on intrabar dynamics.
Shoutout to Insilico, who introduced the 36 EMA as a core trend-following tool — this indicator wouldn’t exist without that spark.
How It Works
Core EMA:
The central element is the 36-period EMA, applied to close, high, and low prices on your current chart.
These three EMAs form a channel or “chamber” that acts as a dynamic zone of control.
The cloud between the high and low EMA can optionally be filled to help visualize volatility.
Higher Timeframe EMAs (HTF EMAs):
Optionally displays Daily, Weekly, 4H, and 1H EMAs (all using the same configurable EMA length, default: 36).
These are interpolated smoothly between HTF candles, creating elegant transitions and avoiding jumpy plotting.
Helps traders spot broader trend bias directly on lower timeframe charts without switching views.
Customizations
Adjustable colors for each EMA layer (current + HTFs).
Toggle cloud fill on/off.
Toggle visibility of each HTF line.
Option to show labels at the edge of the chart (e.g., “W” for Weekly) for clarity.
Use Cases
Confirming trend direction across multiple timeframes.
Identifying pullback entries or mean reversion zones.
Combining with candlestick patterns, liquidity sweeps, or oscillator divergence for high-probability entries.
Notes
All EMAs use the same configurable length to keep things clean and consistent.
Interpolation ensures the HTF EMAs remain smooth and aligned with the LTF candles.
The fill between high and low EMA gives a visual representation of the market’s breathing room — useful for spotting expansions and contractions.

Quarterly Theory ICT 04 [TradingFinder] SSMT 4Quarter Divergence🔵 Introduction
Sequential SMT Divergence is an advanced price-action-based analytical technique rooted in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. Its primary objective is to identify early-stage divergences between correlated assets within precise time structures. This tool not only breaks down market structure but also enables traders to detect engineered liquidity traps before the market reacts.
In simple terms, SMT (Smart Money Technique) occurs when two correlated assets—such as indices (ES and NQ), currency pairs (EURUSD and GBPUSD), or commodities (Gold and Silver)—exhibit different reactions at key price levels (swing highs or lows). This lack of alignment is often a sign of smart money manipulation and signals a lack of confirmation in the ongoing trend—hinting at an imminent reversal or at least a pause in momentum.
In its Sequential form, SMT divergences are examined through a more granular temporal lens—between intraday quarters (Q1 through Q4). When SMT appears at the transition from one quarter to another (e.g., Q1 to Q2 or Q3 to Q4), the signal becomes significantly more powerful, often aligning with a critical phase in the Quarterly Theory—a framework that segments market behavior into four distinct phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal/Continuation.
For instance, a Bullish SMT forms when one asset prints a new low while its correlated counterpart fails to break the corresponding low from the previous quarter. This usually indicates absorption of selling pressure and the beginning of accumulation by smart money. Conversely, a Bearish SMT arises when one asset makes a higher high, but the second asset fails to confirm, signaling distribution or a fake-out before a decline.
However, SMT alone is not enough. To confirm a true Market Structure Break (MSB), the appearance of a Precision Swing Point (PSP) is essential—a specific candlestick formation on a lower timeframe (typically 5 to 15 minutes) that reveals the entry of institutional participants. The combination of SMT and PSP provides a more accurate entry point and better understanding of premium and discount zones.
The Sequential SMT Indicator, introduced in this article, dynamically scans charts for such divergence patterns across multiple sessions. It is applicable to various markets including Forex, crypto, commodities, and indices, and shows particularly strong performance during mid-week sessions (Wednesdays and Thursdays)—when most weekly highs and lows tend to form.
Bullish Sequential SMT :
Bearish Sequential SMT :
🔵 How to Use
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is designed to detect time and structure-based divergences between two correlated assets. This divergence occurs when both assets print a similar swing (high or low) in the previous quarter (e.g., Q3), but in the current quarter (e.g., Q4), only one asset manages to break that swing level—while the other fails to reach it.
This temporal mismatch is precisely identified by the SSMT indicator and often signals smart money activity, a market phase transition, or even the presence of an engineered liquidity trap. The signal becomes especially powerful when paired with a Precision Swing Point (PSP)—a confirming candle on lower timeframes (5m–15m) that typically indicates a market structure break (MSB) and the entry of smart liquidity.
🟣 Bullish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing low.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., EURUSD) breaks that low and trades below it.
The other asset (e.g., GBPUSD) fails to reach the same low, preserving the structure.
This time-based divergence reflects declining selling pressure, potential absorption, and often marks the end of a manipulation phase and the start of accumulation. If confirmed by a bullish PSP candle, it offers a strong long opportunity, with stop-losses defined just below the swing low.
🟣 Bearish Sequential SMT
In the previous quarter, both assets form a similar swing high.
In the current quarter, one asset (e.g., NQ) breaks above that high.
The other asset (e.g., ES) fails to reach that high, remaining below it.
This type of divergence signals weakening bullish momentum and the likelihood of distribution or a fake-out before a price drop. When followed by a bearish PSP candle, it sets up a strong shorting opportunity with targets in the discount zone and protective stops placed above the swing high.

🔵 Conclusion
The Sequential SMT (SSMT) indicator is a powerful and precise tool for identifying structural divergences between correlated assets within a time-based framework. Unlike traditional divergence models that rely solely on sequential pivot comparisons, SSMT leverages Quarterly Theory, in combination with concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSB) and precision swing points (PSP), to provide a deeper and more actionable view of market dynamics.
By using SSMT, traders gain not only the ability to identify where divergence occurs, but also when it matters most within the market cycle. This empowers them to anticipate major moves or traps before they fully materialize, and position themselves accordingly in high-probability trade zones.
Whether you're trading Forex, crypto, indices, or commodities, the true strength of this indicator is revealed when used in sync with the Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Reversal phases of the market. Integrated with other confluence tools and market models, SSMT can serve as a core component in a professional, rule-based, and highly personalized trading strategy.
SMT Divergence ICT 02 [TradingFinder] Smart Money Technique SMC🔵 Introduction
SMT Divergence (Smart Money Technique Divergence) is a price action-based trading concept that detects discrepancies in market behavior between two assets that are generally expected to move in the same direction. Rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this approach helps traders recognize subtle signs of market manipulation or imbalance, often ahead of traditional indicators.
The core idea behind SMT divergence is simple: when two correlated instruments—such as currency pairs, indices, or assets from the same sector—start forming different swing points (highs or lows), this can reveal a lack of confirmation in the trend. Such divergence is often a precursor to a price reversal or pause in momentum.
This technique works effectively across various markets including Forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. It’s particularly valuable when used alongside concepts like liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks (MSBs), or order block identification.
In advanced use cases, Sequential SMT helps uncover patterns of alternating divergences across sessions, often signaling engineered liquidity traps before price reacts.
When combined with the Quarterly Theory—which segments market behavior into Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation/Reversal phases—traders gain insight not only into where divergence happens, but when it's most likely to be significant within the market cycle.
Bullish SMT :
Bullish SMT Divergence occurs when one asset prints a higher low while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This asymmetry often suggests that the downside move is losing strength, hinting at a potential bullish shift.
Bearish SMT :
Bearish SMT Divergence is formed when one asset creates a higher high, while the second asset fails to confirm by printing a lower high. This typically signals weakening bullish pressure and the possibility of a reversal to the downside.
🔵 How to Use
The SMT Divergence indicator is designed to detect imbalances between two positively correlated assets—such as major currency pairs, indices, or commodities. These divergences often indicate early signs of market inefficiency or smart money manipulation and can help traders anticipate trend shifts with higher precision.
Unlike traditional divergence indicators or earlier versions of this script, this upgraded version does not rely solely on consecutive pivot comparisons. Instead, it dynamically scans all available pivots within the chart to identify divergences at any structural level—major or minor—across the price action. This broader detection method increases the reliability and frequency of meaningful SMT signals.
Moreover, when integrated with Sequential SMT logic, the indicator is capable of identifying multiple divergence sequences across sessions. These sequences often signal engineered liquidity traps and can be mapped within the Quarterly Theory framework, allowing traders to pinpoint not just the presence of divergence but also the phase of the market cycle it appears in (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, or Continuation).
🟣 Bullish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset forms a higher low, while the correlated asset forms a lower low. This pattern implies weakening bearish momentum and a potential shift to the upside.
If the correlated asset breaks its previous low but the primary asset does not, this divergence suggests absorption of selling pressure and possible accumulation by smart money—making it a strong bullish signal, especially when aligned with a favorable market phase (e.g., the end of a manipulation phase in Q2).
🟣 Bearish SMT Divergence
This signal occurs when the primary asset creates a higher high, while the correlated asset forms a lower high. This mismatch indicates fading bullish momentum and a potential reversal to the downside.
If the correlated asset fails to confirm a breakout made by the main asset, the divergence may point to distribution or exhaustion. When seen within Q3 or Q4 phases of the Quarterly Theory, this pattern often precedes sharp declines or fake-outs engineered by smart money

When paired with frameworks like Sequential SMT and the Quarterly Theory, the indicator not only highlights where divergence occurs, but also when in the market cycle it's most likely to matter. Its flexible settings, customizable visuals, and integrated alert system make it suitable for intraday scalpers, swing traders, and even long-term macro analysts.
Whether you're using it as a standalone decision-making tool or combining it with other ICT concepts, SMT Plus gives you an edge in recognizing manipulation, timing reversals, and staying in sync with the real market narrative—not just the chart.
Volumatic Trend [ChartPrime]
A unique trend-following indicator that blends trend logic with volume visualization, offering a dynamic view of market momentum and activity. It automatically detects trend shifts and paints volume histograms at key levels, allowing traders to easily spot strength or weakness within trends.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Trend Detection System:
Uses a custom combination of weighted EMA (swma) and regular EMA to detect trend direction.
A diamond appears on trend shift, indicating the starting point of a new bullish or bearish phase.
Volume Histogram Zones:
At each new trend, the indicator draws two horizontal zones (top and bottom) and visualizes volume activity within that trend using dynamic histogram candles.
Gradient-Based Candle Coloring:
Candle color is blended with a gradient based on volume intensity. This helps highlight where volume spikes occurred, making it easy to identify pressure points.
Volume Summary Labels:
A label at the end of each trend zone displays two critical values:
- Delta: net volume difference between bullish and bearish bars.
- Total: overall volume accumulated during the trend.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Monitor diamond markers to identify when a new trend begins.
Use volume histogram spikes to assess if the trend is supported by strong volume or lacking participation.
A high delta with strong total volume in a trend indicates institutional support.
Compare gradient strength of candles—brighter areas represent higher-volume trading activity.
Can be used alone or combined with other confirmation tools like structure breaks, liquidity sweeps, or order blocks.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Volumatic Trend gives you more than just trend direction—it provides insight into the force behind it. With volume-graded candles and real-time histogram overlays, traders can instantly assess whether a trend is backed by conviction or fading strength. A perfect tool for swing traders and intraday strategists looking to add volume context to their directional setups.
Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Fair Value Gap – FVG (Zeiierman) indicator provides a dynamic and customizable visualization of institutional imbalances (Fair Value Gaps) across multiple timeframes. Built for traders who seek to analyze price inefficiencies, this tool helps highlight potential entry points, unmitigated gaps, and directional bias using smart volume logic and adaptive visual elements.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms when there's a three-candle sequence in which a market imbalance leaves a "gap" between the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. These areas are often considered footprints of institutional activity, and this indicator gives you the tools to track them with surgical precision across any timeframe you choose—regardless of the one you're viewing.
This indicator also includes a trend filter powered by a low-pass Butterworth filter, enabling traders to distinguish between countertrend vs. trend-aligned FVGs for more intelligent decision-making. On top of that, it features a dynamic FVG table for live tracking and bull/bear volume power visualization inside each gap, adding powerful clarity to market intent.
█ How It Works
The indicator analyzes the open, high, low, close, and volume of candles from a user-selected timeframe. It identifies Fair Value Gaps based on wick logic and only confirms those that meet customizable strength criteria. Once detected, the indicator visualizes each FVG with dynamically extending boxes, optional buy/sell volume bars, and a real-time mitigation check.
⚪ Multitimeframe Logic
Users can analyze FVGs from a higher or lower timeframe regardless of their current chart.
This is achieved using request.security() to fetch OHLCV data from the chosen timeframe.
⚪ Wick Sensitivity & Impulse Filter
The script measures the wick size of potential FVG candles and compares them to a running average. Only FVGs with wick sizes above a certain sensitivity threshold (user-controlled) are plotted. This ensures only meaningful price dislocations (e.g., strong impulsive moves) are shown, reducing noise.
⚪ Midpoint Mitigation Logic
FVGs are marked as "mitigated" when the price revisits the gap area. Traders can choose whether full gap closure or just a midpoint touch is required. This allows faster reactivity in real-time trading environments.
⚪ Bull & Bear Power – Volume-Weighted Visualization
Every Fair Value Gap box includes sub-bars representing the estimated buy and sell effort that created the gap. These are calculated using the candle's close in relation to its high/low range and volume:
Buy Volume % ≈ effort from low to close
Sell Volume % ≈ effort from high to close
Each sub-bar inside the FVG:
Is color-coded (UpCol for bullish, DnCol for bearish)
Is drawn proportionally to the strength of buyers or sellers
Visually displays who was in control during the imbalance
⚪ FVG Table – Dynamic On-Chart Overview
The indicator includes an optional on-chart table that displays all currently active (unmitigated) FVGs in a side panel format:
Automatic updates as gaps are formed and mitigated
Color-coded rows to show bullish vs. bearish FVGs
Timestamps to know precisely when the gap formed
User-controlled position via Table Left and Table Right
This is a gap watchlist overlay, giving traders a concise view of current inefficiencies without manually scanning the chart.
⚪ FVG Trend Filter (Butterworth Smoother)
Using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, the indicator computes a trendline based on average FVG values, offering a smooth but responsive directional signal.
Passband Ripple (dB): Controls sensitivity and overshoot tolerance
Cutoff Frequency (0–0.5): Sets how quickly the trendline reacts
The trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → favor bullish FVGs
Trend down → favor bearish FVGs
It adds an extra dimension to FVG entries, helping distinguish between trend-aligned and countertrend signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identify Institutional Gaps
Use this tool to identify areas where institutions may have left imbalances behind quickly.
These areas often become:
Strong support/resistance zones
Areas where price might react sharply
Targets for liquidity sweeps or retracements
⚪ React to Trend or Countertrend
The built-in trendline helps categorize each FVG:
Trend up → Bullish FVGs have higher validity
Trend down → Bearish FVGs have higher validity
⚪ Volume Context via Bull/Bear Power
Each Fair Value Gap is more than just a price imbalance — it’s a story of effort and intent. The Bull/Bear Power feature visualizes the buy and sell pressure behind each FVG, helping you understand how the gap was formed and who was in control.
A bullish FVG with a strong buy effort suggests continuation potential — buyers dominated the move.
A bullish FVG with a dominant sell effort could signal a trap or reversal — sellers may have overwhelmed the breakout.
These insights allow you to confirm imbalance strength, spot traps early, and add confidence to entries based on dominant volume profiles.
Instead of viewing gaps as static zones, this feature turns each into a live volume map — a visual breakdown of who moved the market and whether that move had conviction.
⚪ Plan with the FVG Table
The FVG Table acts as your on-chart control center for tracking active imbalances. When enabled, it provides a clear summary of all unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, helping you stay organized and focused during fast-moving sessions.
Track live and historical gaps: See exactly when and where each FVG formed.
Monitor older, still-valid zones: Gaps off-screen but not mitigated remain in play — perfect for anticipating future reactions.
Gauge market bias at a glance: The balance of bullish vs. bearish FVGs helps you understand overall directional pressure.
Plan entries confidently: Use the table to reference all zones for risk management, confluence stacking, or layered execution strategies.
Instead of manually scanning your chart, the FVG Table offers a clean, at-a-glance overview of the market’s inefficiencies — giving you the structure needed to act with precision.

Quantum Motion Oscillator-QMO (TechnoBlooms)Quantum Motion Oscillator (QMO) is a momentum indicator designed for traders who demand precision. Combining multi-timeframe weighted linear regression with EMA crossovers, QMO offers a dynamic view of market momentum, helping traders anticipate trend shifts with greater accuracy.
This oscillator is inspired by quantum mechanics and wave theory, where market movement is seen as a series of probabilistic waves rather than rigid structures.
The histogram is plotted in proportion to the price movement of the candlesticks.
KEY FEATURES
1. Multi-Timeframe Histogram - Integrates 1 to 5 weighted linear regression averages, reducing lag while maintaining accuracy.
2. EMA Crossover Signal - Uses a Short and Long EMA to confirm trend shifts with minimal noise.
3. Adaptive Trend Analysis - Self-adjusting mechanics make QMO effective in both ranging and trending markets.
4. Scalable for Different Trading Styles - Works seamlessly for scalping, intraday, swing and position trading.
ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL INSIGHTS
1. Wave Dynamics and Market Flow - Inspired by wave mechanics, QMO reflects the energy accumulation and dissipation in price movements.
Expanding histogram waves = Strong momentum surge
Contracting waves = Momentum weakening, potential reversal zone.
2. Liquidity and Order Flow Applications - QMO works well alongside liquidity concepts and smart money techniques:
Combine with Fair Value Gaps & Order Blocks -> Enter when QMO signals align with liquidity zones.
Avoid False Moves - If price sweeps liquidity, but QMO momentum diverges, it is a sign of potential smart money manipulation.
[GrandAlgo] Liquidity Pivot Cloud - LPCLiquidity Pivot Cloud (LPC) is a visualization tool that extends all pivot levels to the right, creating a structured liquidity map across the chart. Instead of treating pivot points as static levels, LPC transforms them into a dynamic cloud, highlighting key areas where price has historically reacted.
Key Features:
Extended Pivot Levels – Automatically stretches all pivot highs and lows, forming a continuous liquidity zone.
Clear Structure – Provides an organized view of price action, making it easy to identify reaction zones.
Dynamic Liquidity Map – Helps traders spot potential liquidity sweeps and areas of price absorption.
How to Use:
Identify Liquidity Zones – Areas with multiple overlapping pivots signal strong liquidity pools.
Look for Reactions – Price often consolidates, wicks, or reverses around extended pivot clouds.
Combine with Confluence – Use alongside Fair Value Gaps, Institutional Price Blocks, or Market Structure shifts for higher probability setups.
LPC aligns with smart money concepts by revealing key liquidity areas where stop hunts, liquidity grabs, and institutional activity are likely to occur. It helps traders see where price is likely to be drawn before a major move, making it a valuable tool for those trading liquidity-based strategies.
SMT Divergence [TakingProphets]The SMT (Smart Money Technique) Divergence indicator identifies potential market manipulation and smart money footprints by comparing price action between correlated instruments. It uses a dual-detection system to catch both frequent local SMTs and larger structural SMTs:
• Primary detection uses a shorter lookback period (default 5) to identify common SMT patterns
• Secondary detection uses a longer lookback period (default 8) to catch larger structural SMTs
• Automatically filters significant moves to prevent noise
• Labels are placed clearly outside of price action for better visibility
• Toggle between showing all SMTs or only significant liquidity sweeps
Compare any two instruments to spot divergences in their price action. Particularly useful for:
- Futures vs Spot markets
- Related currency pairs
- Index vs its components
- Any correlated instruments
Default settings are optimized for intraday trading but can be adjusted for different timeframes.
Note: This indicator works best when comparing closely correlated instruments and should be used alongside other technical analysis tools.
Reversal rehersal v1This indicator was designed to identify potential market reversal zones using a combination of RSI thresholds (shooting range/falling range), candlestick patterns, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). By combining all these elements into one indicator, it allow for outputting high probability buy/sell signals for use by scalpers on low timeframes like 1-15 mins, for quick but small profits.
Note: that this has been mainly tested on DE40 index on the 1 min timeframe, and need to be adjusted to whichever timeframe and symbol you intend to use. Refer to the backtester feature for checking if this indicator may work for you.
The indicator use RSI ranges from two timeframes to highlight where momentum is building up. During these areas, it will look for certain candlestick patterns (Sweeps as the primary one) and check for existance of fair value gaps to further enhance the hitrate of the signal.
The logic for FVG detection was based on ©pmk07's work with MTF FVG tiny indicator. Several major changes was implemented though and incorporated into this indicator. Among these are:
Automatically adjustments of FVG boxes when mitigated partially and options to extend/cull boxes for performance and clarity.
Backtesting Table (Experimental):
This indicator also features an optional simplified table to review historical theoretical performance of signals, including win rate, profit/loss, and trade statistics. This does not take commision or slippage into consideration.
Usage Notes:
Setup:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Decide if you want to use Long or Short (or both).
3. If you're scalping on ie. 1 min time frame, make sure to set FVG's to higher timeframes (ie. 5, 15, 60).
4. Enable the 'Show backtest results' and adjust the 'Signals' og 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' values until you are satisfied with the results.
Use:
1. Setup an alert based on either of the 'BullishShooting range' or 'BearishFalling range' alerts. This will draw your attention to watch for the possible setups.
2. Verify if there's a significant imbalance prior to the signal before taking the trade. Otherwise this may invalidate the setup.
3. Once a signal is shown on the graph (either Green arrow up for buys/Red arrow down for sells) - you should enter a trade with the given 'Take profit' and 'Stop loss' values.
4. (optional) Setup an alert for either the Strong/Weak signals. Which corresponds to when one of the arrows are printed.
Important: This is the way I use it myself, but use at own risk and remember to combine with other indicators for further confluence. Remember this is no crystal ball and I do not guarantee profitable results. The indicator merely show signals with high probability setups for scalping.
Time-Based VWAP (TVWAP)(TVWAP) Indicator
The Time-Based Volume Weighted Average Price (TVWAP) indicator is a customized version of VWAP designed for intraday trading sessions with defined start and end times. Unlike the traditional VWAP, which calculates the volume-weighted average price over an entire trading day, this indicator allows you to focus on specific time periods, such as ICT kill zones (e.g., London Open, New York Open, Power Hour). It helps crypto scalpers and advanced traders identify price deviations relative to volume during key trading windows.
Key Features:
Custom Time Interval:
You can set the exact start and end times for the VWAP calculation using input settings for hours and minutes (24-hour format).
Ideal for analyzing short, high-liquidity periods.
Dynamic Accumulation of Price and Volume:
The indicator resets at the beginning of the specified session and accumulates price-volume data until the end of the session.
Ensures that the TVWAP reflects the weighted average price specific to the chosen session.
Visual Representation:
The indicator plots the TVWAP line only during the specified time window, providing a clear visual reference for price action during that period.
Outside the session, the TVWAP line is hidden (na).
Use Cases:
ICT Scalp Trading:
Monitor price rebalances or potential liquidity sweeps near TVWAP during important trading sessions.
Mean Reversion Strategies:
Detect pullbacks toward the session’s average price for potential entry points.
Breakout Confirmation:
Confirm price direction relative to TVWAP during kill zones or high-volume times to determine if a breakout is supported by volume.
Inputs:
Start Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation starts.
End Hour/Minute: The time when the TVWAP calculation ends.
Technical Explanation:
The indicator uses the timestamp function to create time markers for the session start and end.
During the session, the price-volume (close * volume) is accumulated along with the total volume.
TVWAP is calculated as:
TVWAP = (Sum of (Price × Volume)) ÷ (Sum of Volume)
Once the session ends, the TVWAP resets for the next trading period.
Customization Ideas:
Alerts: Add notifications when the price touches or deviates significantly from TVWAP.
Different Colors: Use different line colors based on upward or downward trends.
Multiple Sessions: Add support for multiple TVWAP lines for different time periods (e.g., London + New York).
[DarkTrader] Pivot Point HeatmapThe indicator calculates pivot points using price data from different timeframes such as 12M, 1M, 1W, 3D, and 1D. For each timeframe, it retrieves the high, low, open, and close prices of the previous bar. The pivot point is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close prices, which provides a central level where market sentiment may shift. This calculation is repeated for each timeframe, ensuring a multi-dimensional view of potential interest zones.
Importance of Pivot Points :
Pivot points are essential tools in technical analysis, providing traders with levels that act as potential support and resistance zones. These zones help identify price levels where reversals or breakouts are more likely to occur.
Visual Representation :
The core feature of this indicator is its ability to visualize pivot points as a heatmap on the chart. Instead of showing just the latest pivot points, it tracks the historical pivot swipe, providing a dynamic view of how price interacts with these key levels. Each pivot point is represented by a line, color-coded based on its position relative to other points, creating a gradient effect that highlights the most critical price areas.
Customization Options :
Traders can customize various aspects of the heatmap to suit their preferences. The indicator offers options to toggle pivot swipe history, enabling traders to either focus on the most recent price interactions or consider how price has behaved over time. The background color and pivot line colors are fully customizable, making it easy to match the heatmap with your chart's theme or emphasize certain price levels.
Detecting Sweeps and Price Interaction :
Another important feature is the detection of price interactions with pivot levels. If the current bar's high and low cross a pivot point, it signals that the pivot level has been "swept" by price action, potentially indicating a change in market sentiment. The indicator either extends the line if the pivot point remains relevant or deletes it if price has broken through. This dynamic adjustment helps traders stay updated on which pivot levels are still valid.
Macro Times [Blu_Ju]About ICT Macro Times:
The Inner Circle Trader (ICT) has taught that there are certain time sessions when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA) is running a macro. The macro itself could be a repricing macro, a consolidation macro, etc. - this depends on where price currently is in relation to its draw. The times the macro is active do not change however, and are always the following (in New York local time):
8:50-9:10 (premarket macro)
9:50-10:10 (AM macro 1)
10:50-11:10 (AM macro 2)
11:50-12:10 (lunch macro)
13:10-13:40 (PM macro)
15:15-15:45 (final hour macro)
Because these times are fixed, traders can anticipate a setup is likely to form in or around these sessions. Setups may involve sweeps of liquidity (highs/lows), repricing to inefficiencies (e.g., fair value gaps), breaker setups, etc. (The specific setup involved is beyond the scope of this script; this script is concerned with visually marking the time sessions only.)
About this Script:
The scope of this script is to visually identify the macro active time sessions. This script draws vertical lines to mark the start and end of the macro time sessions. Optionally, the user can use a background color for the macro session with or without the vertical lines. The user can also toggle on or off any of the macro sessions, if he or she is only interested in certain ones. The user also has the freedom to change the times of the macro sessions if he or she is interested in a different time.
What makes this script unique is that it plots the macro time sessions after midnight for each day, before the real-time bar reaches the macro times. This is advantageous to the trader, as it gives the trader a visual cue that the macro times are approaching. When watching price it is easy to lose track of time, and the purpose of this script is to help the trader maintain where price is in relation to the macro time sessions in a simple, visual way.
Smart Money Setup 06 [TradingFinder] Liquidity Sweeps + OB Swing🔵 Introduction
Smart Money, managed by large investors, injects significant capital into financial markets by entering real capital markets.
Capital entering the market by this group of individuals is called smart money. Traders can profit from financial markets by following such individuals.
Therefore, smart money can be considered one of the effective methods for analyzing financial markets.
Sometimes, before a market movement, fluctuation movements that create price movement cause many traders' "Stop Loss" to be triggered. These movements are created in various patterns.
One of these patterns is similar to an "Expanding Triangle", which touches the stop loss of individuals who have placed their stop loss in the cash area in the form of 5 consecutive openings.
To better understand this setup, pay attention to the images below.
Bullish Setup Details :
Bearish Setup Details :
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to the chart, wait for trading opportunities to appear. By changing the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period", you can see different trading positions.
In general, the smaller the "Time Frame" and "Pivot Period", the more likely trading opportunities will appear.
Bullish Setup Details on Chart :
Bearish Setup Details on Chart :
🔵 Settings
You have access to "Pivot Period", "Order Block Refine", and "Refine Mode" through settings.
By changing the "Pivot Period", you can change the range of zigzag that identifies the setup.
Through "Order Block Refine", you can specify whether you want to refine the width of the order blocks or not. It is set to "On" by default.
Through "Refine Mode", you can specify how to improve order blocks.
If you are "risk-averse", you should set it to "Defensive" mode because in this mode, the width of the order blocks decreases, the number of your trades decreases, and the "reward-to-risk ratio "increases.
If you are on the opposite side and are "risk-taker", you can set it to "Aggressive" mode. In this mode, the width of the order blocks increases, and the likelihood of losing positions decreases.
