Dynamic Order Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Dynamic Order Blocks indicator displays the most recent unmitigated bullish and bearish order blocks on the chart, providing dynamic support/resistance areas.
When price sweeps an order block, this is highlighted by the script indicating a potential reversal.
The average between the displayed order blocks is also displayed.
🔶 USAGE
Order blocks are a popular method of price action analysis, representing price areas where more significant market participants accumulate their orders.
Displaying order blocks dynamically allows obtaining relevant areas of support/resistance. Users can obtain longer-term order blocks using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting.
Users can also use mitigation events to assess the current trend direction, with price mitigating a bearish order block (breaking above the upper extremity) indicating an uptrend, and price mitigating a bullish order block (breaking below the lower extremity) indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Average Level
An average level obtained from the displayed bullish and bearish order blocks is included in the indicator and offers an additional polyvalent dynamic support/resistance level.
The change of direction of the average line can also be indicative of the current trend direction.
🔹 Dynamic Sweeps
Price sweeping the mitigation level of an order block is highlighted on the chart using bordered rectangles. These highlight a breakout failure and can be indicative of a potential reversal.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Period of the swing detection used to construct order blocks. Higher values will return longer-term order blocks.
Use Candle Body: Use the candle body as the order block area instead of the candle full range.

Smart Money Setup 02 [TradingFinder] Mitigated Major OB Proof🔵 Introduction
"Smart money" is money invested by knowledgeable individuals at the right time, and this investment can yield the highest returns.
The concept we focus on in this indicator is whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend. The market briefly takes a weak and reversal trend with "Minor BoS" without being able to break the major pivot.
In the next step, it returns to its main trend with a strong bullish move and continues its trend with a "Major BoS". The "order block" behind this rapid and powerful movement can be a valid order block for trading.
To better understand this setup, please refer to the explanations in the two images below.

Pullback trades are popular with zones.
⭑⭑⭑ Zones ⭑⭑⭑
How are zones created?
Supply zones are created when the price drops quickly, so are found above the price action.
Demand zones are created when the price rallies quickly, so are found below the price action.
The script uses a combination of quick price movements and user defined minimum price % changes. All user defined settings have default settings which vary depending on asset type and timeframe.
What is a strong zone?
The zones boxes have either a dashed border or a solid border. A solid border represents a strong zone which is when
the price has moved very quickly from it, or
the price has bounced off the zone multiple times.
What is a deactivated zone?
When the price has gone through the zone by a certain %, the zone is deactivated and displayed in a more transparant colour.
How are deactivated zones used for switch zones?
When a new zone is created, it is checked to see if it overlaps a recently deactivated zone.
e.g. If a new demand zone overlaps a recently deactivated supply zone, then the zone has switched from supply to demand. This might mean the new zone could be a strong one and the number of hits on the previous zone (also a potential indicator of strength) is displayed in the zone label tooltip.
Zone information
Basic zone information can be found in the zone label.
Users can choose what information is displayed in the label including the number of hits and prices.
More detailed information can be found in the zone label tooltip.
Hovering over the label will display more information including the zone start time and height %.
DBD/RBR/RBD/DBR/FVG
Zones are defined as drop base drop, rally base rally, rally base drop, drop base rally, and fair value gap.
Zone height
Users have the option of choosing
Wick to wick, or
Wick to body
The indicator does its best to meet the user preference but sometimes it is not possible. The information in the label tooltip will show if the preference was matched.
Minimum and maximum height default settings help to prevent zone boxes which might fill the whole chart.
⭑⭑⭑ Lines of Interest ⭑⭑⭑
Lines of interest are displayed as an added bonus.
Long wick
Long wicks might show areas of support or resistance. Very long and long wicks are defined by the % change in the wicks.
Very long wick lines are always displayed, and long wicks are displayed if they are not near a zone.
Possible Support / Resistance
After a big rally or drop, lines are displayed to show where the price might pullback to. These lines can act as possible support or resistance, and
are taken from recently deactivated zones. A solid line respresents a strong deactivated zone.

Smart Money Setup 01 [TradingFinder]Double Order Blocks Proof🔵 Introduction
The Price Action, styled as the "Smart Money Concept" or "SMC," was introduced by Mr. David J. Crouch in 2000 and is one of the most modern technical styles in the financial world. In financial markets, Smart Money refers to capital controlled by major market players (central banks, funds, etc.), and these traders can accurately predict market trends and achieve the highest profits.
In the "Smart Money" style, various types of "order blocks" can be traded. This indicator uses a type of "order block" originating from "BoS" (Breakout of Structure). The most important feature of this indicator is the confirmation of two order blocks.
🟣 Important
For example, after the first "BoS" and the formation of the first Order Block, if a second "BoS" occurs before touching the price of the first Order Block and the formation of the second Order Block, a trading setup with 2 order blocks is formed, which confirms the dominant market trend.
For a better understanding of this subject, see the explanations in the following two images.

OrderBlock_TradingHubAn order block refers to a specific area on chart that represents a significant level of support or resistance where institutional traders have placed large orders. By identifying order blocks, traders can gain insights into the intentions and actions of the smart money participants.
Typically, the order block is represented by the last bullish (bearish) candle before a downtrend (uptrend) initiate. Whereas this indicator is quite different from the existing order block detection tools. It categorizes order blocks into different types (Main order blocks, Unmitigated shadow order blocks and Single candle order blocks), checking the following criteria based on TradingHUB-3 technical method:
1) Take out liquidity
2) Cause imbalance
3) Not to be inside-bar
How it works:
This indicator identifies 3 types of order blocks through the following procedure:
1) Main Order Blocks (Extreme, Decisional, and SMT(smart money trap)):
• Check that the candle is not inside bar.
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check that the candle has created an imbalance (FVG) after; if not: the order block will be transferred to the first following candle that created imbalance. We check up to three following candles to find any imbalance.
2) Unmitigated Shadow Order Blocks:
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check that the price has not touched the shadow so far.
3) Single Candle Order Blocks (SCOB):
• Check that the candle is not inside bar.
• Check that the candle has taken out the liquidity beyond the previous candle's high/low.
• Check confirmation:
- If the candle is closed higher/lower than the previous candle high/low, it is confirmed as a SCOB; otherwise:
- Move forward up to a specified number (determined by the user) to find a confirmation candle. A confirmation is a candle that closed higher/lower than the SCOB and its following candles high/low. The SCOB's following candles, and the confirmation candle should not take out the SCOB's liquidity again.
How to use it:
• This indicator can be used in all time frames.
• If the liquidity is taken out in an uptrend (downtrend) market structure, when the price meets the order blocks, we can go to lower timeframes and look for a trigger to enter the long (short) trade.
• It is essential for smart money traders to diagnose the market structure accurately. The "Structure_TradingHub " indicator is recommended for its ability to analyze the market structure effectively.
Indicator options:
• Show/Hide mitigated order Blocks: By this option, the user can choose whether to delete the touched order blocks or trimmed them.
• Show/Hide the unmitigated shadows. They are displayed by dashed lines.
• Show/Hide single candle order blocks: They are displayed by two lines placed above and below the candle.
• Changing the color and style of uptrend and downtrend order blocks.
Order Blocks Indicator [TradingFinder] Lightning|CHOCH |OB | BOS🔵 Introduction
In "Price Action," an "Order Block" is essentially an area on the price chart where significant players such as institutional traders have executed their moves by placing noteworthy orders. These points often indicate areas where price either attempts to break through (resistance) or returns when it reaches there (support).
Therefore, when discussing the identification of order blocks, we typically refer to finding points where the price has stalled for a while and has accumulated strength before making a significant move in one direction.
Essentially, order blocks assist traders in understanding where large players with "smart money" have likely placed their bulk orders in the market. Traders use these order blocks as part of their overall analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction.
This version of the order block indicator is designed for traders, adding many indicators to their charts. The minimal design helps minimize disruptions to user focus.
🔵 Identification of Order Blocks
To identify order blocks, first, a "Level Break" must occur. To identify a "Demand Zone," a "High Level Break" is required, and to identify a "Supply Zone," a "Low Level Break" is needed.
Demand Zone :
Supply Zone :
🔵 "Change of Character" or "Market Shift Structure"
"ChoCh" or "MSS" is the "Break Level" that is contrary to the previous trend. For example, if a "Bearish Level" is established in the market and consecutive "Low Levels" are being broken, the price turns upward, breaking a "High Level." This break is called "ChoCh" or "MSS."
🔵 "Break of Structure"
"Break of Structure," or "BoS" for short, is the "Break Level" in the direction of the current trend. For example, if a "Bullish Level" is established in the market, when the price breaks a "High Level," a "BoS" has occurred.
🔵 Features
🟣 Major Level
This feature helps you easily identify major levels. These levels form when the price breaks another major level.
🟣 Refine Order Block
The "Refinement" feature allows you to adjust the width of the order block based on your strategy. There are two modes, "Aggressive" and "Defensive," in Order Block Refine. The difference between "Aggressive" and "Defensive" lies in the width of the order block. For "Risk Averse" traders, the "Defensive" mode is suitable because it provides smaller stop losses and larger reward-to-risk ratios. For "Risk Taker" traders, the "Aggressive" mode is more suitable. These traders prefer to enter trades at higher prices and this mode, where the width of the order block is greater, is more suitable for this group of individuals.
🔵 How to Use
After adding the indicator to your chart, you will see a visual similar to the image below. Green order blocks are "Demand Zones" and red order blocks are "Supply Zones." The midpoint of the order blocks also indicates 50% of it.
Refine Order Block is defaulted to On and refines the order blocks. If you want the order blocks to remain original, you should set it to Off.
Refine is defaulted to "Defensive" mode. If you want it to be in "Aggressive" mode, you should change its mode through Refine Type.
Displaying "Major Levels" is turned off by default and to display them, you should set "Show High Level" and "Show Low Level" to "Yes." You can use these lines to identify liquidity or determine stop loss and take profit levels.
Inversion Fair Value Gap Screener | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Inverse Fair Value Gap Screener! This screener can provide information about the latest Inverse Fair Value Gaps in up to 5 tickers. You can also customize the algorithm that finds the Inverse Fair Value Gaps and the styling of the screener.
Features of the new Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) Screener :
Find Latest Inverse Fair Value Gaps Across 5 Tickers
Shows Their Information Of :
Latest Status
Number Of Retests
Consumption Percent
Volume
Customizable Algorithm / Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inverse Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. Check this example:
This screener then finds Fair Value Gaps across 5 different tickers, and shows the latest information about them.
Status ->
Far -> The current price is far away from the IFVG.
Approaching ⬆️/⬇️ -> The current price is approaching the IFVG, and the direction it's approaching from.
Inside -> The price is currently inside the IFVG.
Retests -> Retest means the price tried to invalidate the IFVG, but failed to do so. Here you can see how many times the price retested the IFVG.
Consumed -> IFVGs get consumed when a Close / Wick enters the IFVG zone. For example, if the price hits the middle of the IFVG zone, the zone is considered 50% consumed.
Volume -> Volume of a IFVG is essentially the volume of the bar that broke the original FVG that formed it.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This screener can detect latest Inverse Fair Value Gaps and give information about them for up to 5 tickers. This saves the user time by showing them all in a dashboard at the same time. The screener also uniquely shows information about the number of retests and the consumed percent of the IFVG, as well as it's volume. We believe that this extra information will help you spot reliable IFVGs easier.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. Tickers
You can set up to 5 tickers for the screener to scan Fair Value Gaps here. You can also enable / disable them and set their individual timeframes.
2. General Configuration
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation. This setting also switches the type for IFVG consumption.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.

ICT Concept [TradingFinder] Order Block | FVG | Liquidity Sweeps🔵 Introduction
The "ICT" style is one of the subsets of "Price Action" technical analysis. ICT is a method created by "Michael Huddleston", a professional forex trader and experienced mentor. The acronym ICT stands for "Inner Circle Trader".
The main objective of the ICT trading strategy is to combine "Price Action" and the concept of "Smart Money" to identify optimal entry points into trades. However, finding suitable entry points is not the only strength of this approach. With the ICT style, traders can better understand price behavior and adapt their trading approach to market structure accordingly.
Numerous concepts are discussed in this style, but the key practical concepts for trading in financial markets include "Order Block," "Liquidity," and "FVG".
🔵 How to Use
🟣Order Block
Order blocks are a specific type of "Supply and Demand" zones formed when a series of orders are placed in a block. These orders could be created by banks or other major players. Banks typically execute large orders in blocks during their trading sessions. If they were to enter the market directly with a small quantity, significant price movements would occur before the orders are fully executed, resulting in less profit. To avoid this, they divide their orders into smaller, manageable positions. Traders should look for "buy" opportunities in "demand order blocks" areas and "sell" opportunities in "supply order blocks".
🟣Liquidity
These levels are where traders aim to exit their trades. "Market Makers" or smart money usually collects or distributes their trading positions near levels where many retail traders have placed their "Stop Loss" orders. When the liquidity resulting from these losses is collected, the price often reverses direction.
A "Stop Hunt" is a move designed to neutralize liquidity generated by triggered stop losses. Banks often use significant news events to trigger stop hunts and acquire the liquidity released in the market. If, for example, they intend to execute heavy buy orders, they encourage others to sell through stop hunts.
As a result, if there is liquidity in the market before reaching the order block region, the credibility of that order block is higher. Conversely, if liquidity is near the order block, meaning the price reaches the order block before reaching the liquidity area, the credibility of that order block is lower.
🟣FVG (Fair Value Gap)
To identify the "Fair Value Gap" on the chart, one must analyze candle by candle. Focus on candles with large bodies, examining one candle and the one before it. The candles before and after this central candle should have long shadows, and their bodies should not overlap with the body of the central candle. The distance between the shadows of the first and third candles is called the FVG range.
These zone function in two ways :
•Supply and Demand zone: In this case, the price reacts to these zone, and its trend reverses.
•Liquidity zone: In this scenario, the price "fills" the zone and then reaches the order block.
Important Note: In most cases, FVG zone with very small width act as supply and demand zone, while zone with a significant width act as liquidity zone, absorbing the price.
🔵 Setting
🟣Order Block
Refine Order Block : When the option for refining order blocks is Off, the supply and demand zones encompass the entire length of the order block (from Low to High) in their standard state and remain unaltered. On the option for refining order blocks triggers the improvement of supply and demand zones using the error correction algorithm.
Refine Type : The enhancement of order blocks via the error correction algorithm can be executed through two methods: Defensive and Aggressive. In the Aggressive approach, the widest possible range is taken into account for order blocks.
Show High Levels : If major high levels are to be displayed, set the option for showing high level to Yes.
Show Low Levels : If major low levels are to be displayed, set the option for showing low level to Yes.
Show Last Support : If showing the last support is desired, set the option for showing last support to Yes.
Show Last Resistance : If showing the last resistance is desired, set the option for showing last resistance to Yes.
🟣 FVG
FVG Filter : When FVG filtering is activated, the number of FVG areas undergoes filtration based on the specified algorithm.
FVG Filter Types :
1. Very Aggressive : Apart from the initial condition, an additional condition is introduced. For an upward FVG, the maximum price of the last candle should exceed the maximum price of the middle candle. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the minimum price of the last candle should be lower than the minimum price of the middle candle. This mode eliminates a minimal number of FVGs.
2. Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, this mode considers the size of the middle candle; it should not be small. Consequently, a larger number of FVGs are eliminated in this mode.
3. Defensive : Alongside the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, this mode takes into account the size of the middle candle, which should be relatively large with the majority of it comprising the body. Furthermore, to identify upward FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, whereas for downward FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. This mode filters out a considerable number of FVGs, retaining only those of suitable quality.
4. Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. This mode filters out the majority of FVGs, leaving only the highest quality ones. Show Demand FVG: Enables the display of demand-related boxes, which can be toggled between off and on. Show Supply FVG: Enables the display of supply-related boxes along the path, which can also be toggled between off and on.
🟣 Liquidity
Statics Liquidity Line Sensitivity : A value ranging from 0 to 0.4. Increasing this value reduces the sensitivity of the "Statics Liquidity Line Detection" function and increases the number of identified lines. The default value is 0.3.
Dynamics Liquidity Line Sensitivity : A value ranging from 0.4 to 1.95. Increasing this value enhances the sensitivity of the "Dynamics Liquidity Line Detection" function and decreases the number of identified lines. The default value is 1.
Statics Period Pivot : Default value is set to 8. By adjusting this value, you can specify the period for static liquidity line pivots.
Dynamics Period Pivot : Default value is set to 3. By adjusting this value, you can specify the period for dynamic liquidity line pivots.
You can activate or deactivate liquidity lines as necessary using the buttons labeled "Show Statics High Liquidity Line," "Show Statics Low Liquidity Line," "Show Dynamics High Liquidity Line," and "Show Dynamics Low Liquidity Line".
Liquidity Finder🔵 Introduction
The concept of "liquidity pool" or simply "liquidity" in technical analysis price action refers to areas on the price chart where stop losses accumulate, and the market, by reaching those areas and collecting liquidity (Stop Hunt), provides the necessary energy to move the price. This concept is prominent in the "ICT" and "Smart Money" styles. Imagine, as depicted below, the price is at a support level. The general trader mentality is that there is "demand" for the asset at this price level, and this demand will outweigh "supply" as before. So, it is likely that the price will increase. As a result, they start buying and place their stop loss below the support area.
Stop Hunt areas are essentially traders' "stop loss" levels. These are the liquidity that institutional and large traders need to fill their orders. Consequently, they penetrate the price below support areas or above resistance areas to touch their stop loss and fill their orders, and then the price trend reverses.
Cash zones are generally located under "Swings Low" and above "Swings High." More specifically, they can be categorized as support levels or resistance levels, above Double Top and Triple Top patterns, below Double Bottom and Triple Bottom patterns, above Bearish Trend lines, and below Bullish Trend lines.
Double Top and Triple Top :
Double Bottom and Triple Bottom :
Bullish Trend line and Bearish Trend line :
🔵 How to Use
To optimally use this indicator, you can adjust the settings according to the symbol, time frame, and your needs. These settings include the "sensitivity" of the "liquidity finder" function and the swing periods related to static and dynamic liquidity lines.
"Statics Liquidity Line Sensitivity" is a number between 0 and 0.4. Increasing this number decreases the sensitivity of the "Statics Liquidity Line Detection" function and increases the number of lines identified. The default value is 0.3.
"Dynamics Liquidity Line Sensitivity" is a number between 0.4 and 1.95. Increasing this number increases the sensitivity of the "Dynamics Liquidity Line Detection" function and decreases the number of lines identified. The default value is 1.
"Statics Period Pivot" is set to 8 by default. By changing this number, you can specify the period for the static liquidity line pivots.
"Dynamics Period Pivot" is set to 3 by default. By changing this number, you can specify the period for the dynamic liquidity line pivots.
🔵 Settings
Access to adjust the inputs of Static Dynamic Liquidity Line Sensitivity, Dynamics Liquidity Line Sensitivity, Statics Period Pivot, and Dynamics Period Pivot is possible from this section.
Additionally, you can enable or disable liquidity lines as needed using the buttons for "Show Statics High Liquidity Line," "Show Statics Low Liquidity Line," "Show Dynamics High Liquidity Line," and "Show Dynamics Low Liquidity Line."
Liquidity Finder Library🔵 Introduction
You may intend to utilize the "Liquidity" detection capability in your indicators. Instead of writing it, you can import the "Liquidity Finder" library into your code. One of the advantages of this approach is time-saving and reduction in scripting errors.
🔵 Key Features
Identification of "Statics Liquidity"
Identification of "Dynamics Liquidity"
🔵 How to Use
Firstly, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below :

SMC Fake Zones + InsideBarThis indicator is useful for whom trade with "Smart Money Concept (SMC)" strategy.
It helps SMD traders to identify fake or weak zones in the chart, So they can avoid taking position in this zones.
This indicator marks "Asia session" as well as "London and New York's Lunch Time (one hour before London and NY session starts)" zones.
It also marks Inside Bar candles which SMC trades consider as order flow. You can mark every Inside Bar or only those with opposite color via setting options.
*** As we know in SMC rules
1- Supply and Demand zones in "Asia session and Lunch Times" are fake zones for SMC trading and price will engulf them in most of times.
2- "Asia session high and low" has huge liquidity and usually price sweep that in London session.
This indicator will helps traders to visually identify those Fake zones and Asia session liquidity.
* You can change session times based on your time zone in settings.
* You can set options to show all Inside Bars or only with Opposite color in settings.
FVG Detector LibraryLibrary "FVG Detector Library"
🔵 Introduction
To save time and improve accuracy in your scripts for identifying Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), you can utilize this library. Apart from detecting and plotting FVGs, one of the most significant advantages of this script is the ability to filter FVGs, which you'll learn more about below. Additionally, the plotting of each FVG continues until either a new FVG occurs or the current FVG is mitigated.
🔵 Definition
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to a situation where three consecutive candlesticks do not overlap. Based on this definition, the minimum conditions for detecting a fair gap in the ascending scenario are that the minimum price of the last candlestick should be greater than the maximum price of the third candlestick, and in the descending scenario, the maximum price of the last candlestick should be smaller than the minimum price of the third candlestick.
If the filter is turned off, all FVGs that meet at least the minimum conditions are identified. This mode is simplistic and results in a high number of identified FVGs.
If the filter is turned on, you have four options to filter FVGs :
1. Very Aggressive : In addition to the initial condition, another condition is added. For ascending FVGs, the maximum price of the last candlestick should be greater than the maximum price of the middle candlestick. Similarly, for descending FVGs, the minimum price of the last candlestick should be smaller than the minimum price of the middle candlestick. In this mode, a very small number of FVGs are eliminated.
2. Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candlestick should not be small. This mode eliminates more FVGs compared to the Very Aggressive mode.
3. Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candlestick should be relatively large, and most of it should consist of the body. Also, for identifying ascending FVGs, the second and third candlesticks must be positive, and for identifying descending FVGs, the second and third candlesticks must be negative. In this mode, a significant number of FVGs are eliminated, and the remaining FVGs have a decent quality.
4. Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candlesticks should not resemble very small-bodied doji candlesticks. In this mode, the majority of FVGs are filtered out, and the remaining ones are of higher quality.
By default, we recommend using the Defensive mode.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Parameters

FVG Detector [TradingFinder] Fair Value Gap-Imbalance-Mitigated🔵 Introduction
When the market makes a strong move in the form of a "Marubozu" or "Spike" candlestick and consecutive candles move without a retracement, the maximum place where a "FVG" or "Fair Value Gap" is created.
🔵 Definition
To describe this precisely, whenever a move occurs where the current candle does not cover the body of the previous and subsequent candles, a fair value gap is created.
Important : The significant point is that, because there is no equilibrium between buyers and sellers in these conditions, and market power is in the hands of buyers or sellers, the market is likely to move towards these areas.
An example of "FVG" in a price increase where we expect buying on the return to it.
An example of "FVG" in a downward trend where the market will move towards it in a downward direction.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bearish FVG
In a downward trend, "orange boxes" are drawn, which are the same and can act as "support" zones along the downward path, and we expect the price to continue its downward trend on return.
🟣 Bullish FVG
In an upward trend, "green boxes" are drawn, which are . They act exactly like support in the upward path, and we expect the price to continue its upward trend on return.
🟣 Auxiliary Definitions
Imbalance : As mentioned above, market power is in the hands of one of the two sides, buyers or sellers, and a non-equilibrium zone is created. It may be completed in whole or in part in subsequent price movements.
Mitigated : If the price returns to the "FVG" area and fills it, we call it "Mitigated," and most "pending" or "profit and loss limits" positions are executed. We will not have a specific reaction on the return of the price.
🔵 Settings
Very Aggressive : In addition to the initial condition, another condition is added. For an upward FVG, the maximum price of the last candle should be larger than the middle candle's maximum price. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the minimum price of the last candle should be smaller than the middle candle's minimum price. In this mode, a very small number of FVGs are eliminated.
Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candle should not be small. In this mode, a larger number of FVGs are eliminated.
Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candle should be relatively large, and the majority of it should be made up of the body. Additionally, to identify upward FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, and to identify downward FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. In this mode, a large number of FVGs are eliminated, leaving only those with suitable quality.
Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. In this mode, the majority of FVGs are filtered out, leaving only the highest quality ones.
🔵 Features
Show Demand FVG : Displays demand-related boxes, which can be "off" and "on."
Show Supply FVG : Displays supply-related boxes along the path, and can be turned "off" and "on."
🔵 Indicator Advantages
In this indicator, I have implemented 4 types of "filters" that allow you to select one based on the trading symbol, timeframe, etc. From "Very Aggressive" to "Very Defensive" mode, it is possible to select.
In most indicators, all FVGs are displayed, and the chart becomes full of lines. But this unique feature allows the trader to manage the drawing of boxes.
Conditional Volatility PercentileSimple Description: This indicator can basically help you find when a big move might happen ( This indicator can't determine the direction but when a big move could happen. ) Basically, a low-extreme value like 0 means that it only has room for upside, so volatility can only expand from that point on, and the fact that volatility mean reverts supports this.
Conditional Volatility Percentile Indicator
This indicator is a tool designed to view current market volatility relative to historical levels. It uses a statistical approach to assess the percentile rank of the calculated conditional volatility.
The Volatility Calculation
This indicator calculates conditional variance with user-defined parameters, which are Omega, Alpha, Beta, and Sigma, and then takes the square root of the variance to calculate the standard deviation. The script then calculates the percentile rank of the conditional variance over a specified lookback.
What this indicator tells you:
Volatility Assessment: Higher percentile values indicate heightened conditional volatility, suggesting increased market activity or potential stress. Meanwhile, lower percentiles suggest relatively lower conditional volatility.
Extreme Values: Volatility is a mean-reverting process. If the volatility percentile value is at a low value for an extended period of time, you can eventually bet on the volatility percentile value increasing with high confidence.
In financial markets, volatility itself exhibits mean-reverting properties. This means that periods of high volatility are likely to be followed by periods of lower volatility, and vice versa.
1. High Volatility Periods: High volatility levels may be followed by a subsequent decrease in volatility as the market returns to a more typical state.
2. Low Volatility Periods: Periods of low volatility may be followed by an uptick in volatility as the market experiences new information or changes in sentiment.
Order Blocks Finder [TradingFinder] Major OB | Supply and Demand🔵 Introduction
Drawing all order blocks on the path, especially in range-bound or channeling markets, fills the chart with lines, making it confusing rather than providing the trader with the best entry and exit points.
🔵 Reason for Indicator Creation
For traders familiar with market structure and only need to know the main accumulation points (best entry or exit points), and primary order blocks that act as strong sources of power.
🟣 Important Note
All order blocks, both ascending and descending, are identified and displayed on the chart when the structure of "BOS" or "CHOCH" is broken, which can also be identified with "MSS."
🔵 How to Use
When the indicator is installed, it plots all order blocks (active order blocks) and continues until the price reaches them. This continuation happens in boxes to have a better view in the TradingView chart.
Green Range : Ascending order blocks where we expect a price increase in these areas.
Red Range : Descending order blocks where we expect a price decrease in these areas.
🔵 Settings
Order block refine setting : When Order block refine is off, the supply and demand zones are the entire length of the order block (Low to High) in their standard state and cannot be improved. If you turn on Order block refine, supply and demand zones will improve using the error correction algorithm.
Refine type setting : Improving order blocks using the error correction algorithm can be done in two ways: Defensive and Aggressive. In the Aggressive method, the largest possible range is considered for order blocks.
🟣 Important
The main advantage of the Aggressive method is minimizing the loss of stops, but due to the widening of the supply or demand zone, the reward-to-risk ratio decreases significantly. The Aggressive method is suitable for individuals who take high-risk trades.
In the Defensive method, the range of order blocks is minimized to their standard state. In this case, fewer stops are triggered, and the reward-to-risk ratio is maximized in its optimal state. It is recommended for individuals who trade with low risk.
Show high level setting : If you want to display major high levels, set show high level to Yes.
Show low level setting : If you want to display major low levels, set show low level to Yes.
🔵 How to Use
The general view of this indicator is as follows.
When the price approaches the range, wait for the price reaction to confirm it, such as a pin bar or divergence.
If the price passes with a strong candle (spike), especially after a long-range or at the beginning of sessions, a powerful event is happening, and it is outside the credibility level.
An Example of a Valid Zone
An Example of Breakout and Invalid Zone. (My suggestion is not to use pending orders, especially when the market is highly volatile or before and after news.)
After reaching this zone, expect the price to move by at least the minimum candle that confirmed it or a price ceiling or floor.
🟣 Important : These factors can be more accurately measured with other trend finder indicators provided.
🔵 Auxiliary Tools
There is much talk about not using trend lines, candlesticks, Fibonacci, etc., in the web space. However, our suggestion is to create and use tools that can help you profit from this market.
• Fibonacci Retracement
• Trading Sessions
• Candlesticks
🔵 Advantages
• Plotting main OBs without additional lines;
• Suitable for timeframes M1, M5, M15, H1, and H4;
• Effective in Tokyo, Sydney, and London sessions;
• Plotting the main ceiling and floor to help identify the trend.
ICT Unicorn Model [LuxAlgo]The ICT Unicorn Model indicator highlights the presence of "unicorn" patterns on the user's chart which is derived from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) .
Detected patterns are followed by targets with a distance controlled by the user.
🔶 USAGE
At its core, the ICT Unicorn Model relies on two popular concepts, Fair Value Gaps and Breaker Blocks. This combination highlights a future area of support/resistance.
A Bullish Unicorn Pattern consists out of:
A Lower Low (LL), followed by a Higher High (HH)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern.
A Bearish Unicorn Pattern consists of:
A Higher High (HH), followed by a Lower Low (LL)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern
The pattern detection depends on detected swings, which can be controlled by the Swing setting. Using higher values of this setting will return longer-term breaker blocks.
🔹 Using Risk/Reward Targets
A confirmed Unicorn pattern will show a blue ( Target ) / grey ( Stop Loss) "Risk/Reward" areas (RR).
When the Stop Loss or Target is hit, a white line is shown on the concerned side.
The Risk/Reward ratio can be adjusted in the "Targets" settings.
🔹 Trailing Stop
As seen in the previous snapshots, besides the RR areas, this indicator also includes an optional Trailing Stop .
This can be helpful to lower your risk, by exiting earlier than if you would wait until the Stop Loss is hit.
This example shows a successful bullish and bearish Unicorn Pattern . In this scenario, the Trailing Stop could be used for partial Take Profit.
The goal of this publication is to show confirmed Unicorn Patterns . To increase the chance of success, it is important to evaluate the bigger picture & use this in confluence with your price action analysis. For example, look for potential areas of liquidity, consider this pattern only during certain market sessions, avoid trading during heavy impact news, &/or incorporate other aspects of technical analysis rather than just following this pattern blindly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Combine
When disabled, all potential Unicorn Patterns will delete previous unconfirmed patterns:
Enabling Combine ensures the last Unicorn Patterns in the opposite direction will remain.
While the latter bullish pattern became invalid, another one formed.
The combination of the previous bearish pattern, and looking at the big picture, the bullish pattern did not have much chance to be successful.
While disabling 'combine' helps minimize clutter, enabling this feature can give a pattern more chance to hit the SL/Target level.
🔹 Mitigated FVG
Users can determine if a pattern becomes invalid due to a mitigated FVG, causing the pattern to be deleted.
🔹 New pattern detected
When a new pattern is detected, the previous unconfirmed pattern in the same direction (bullish - bullish or bearish - bearish) will be deleted. This will always be the case, whether "Combine' is enabled or disabled.
When the previous pattern was confirmed but no SL or Target level was hit, this pattern will stop updating.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Unicorn
Swings: This sets the length of swings, used for the underlying ZigZag and Unicorn Patterns detection.
Bull: Enable/disable Bullish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Bear: Enable/disable Bearish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Combine: When enabled, patterns in opposite directions (bullish/bearish) can exist at the same time. disabling this feature tends to give less clutter. See the "Usage" section for more information.
🔹 Targets
Risk/Reward: Sets the Risk/Reward ratio.
Trailing Stop: Set the length of small swings, which is used for the Trailing Stop .
itradesize /\ IPDA Look Back - for any timeframeThe script automatically calculates the 20-40-60 look-back periods and their premium and discount ranges.
The base concept is from ICT’s IPDA which should be applied to the daily timeframe but now you can use that same concept on the lower timeframes .
The higher the timeframes you use the more reliable it will be ( when we are talking about lower timeframes than Daily ).
- With the use of the indicator you can apply it on any timeframe with ease.
- You can customize the coloring of premium & discount, frame lines, and even the look of it.
- Hide or show the EQ levels
Below the IPDA texts the indicator shows the actual percentage of the selected range based on the current price fluctuations.
The script handles the 20-40-60 days look-back as fractals so it can be applied on lower timeframes.
The basics:
- The Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA): The algorithm creates a shift on the daily chart every 20, 40, and 60 trading days.
- These are the IPDA look-back periods. Every 20 trading days or so there is a new liquidity pool forming on both sides of the market based on ICT concepts.
- Determine the IPDA Data Range of the land 20 trading days.
- Note the highest high & lowest low in the past 20 trading days. Identify the institutional order flow and mark the relevant PD arrays in the selected IPDA look-back period we deemed useful for our trading style.
- This is your current dealing range.
- If the price consolidates for 20 days, consider switching to a 40-day look back.
Inside this dealing range, we look for the next draw on liquidity. Is it reaching for a liquidity pool or is it looking to rebalance at a particular PD Array. This is going to the Bias.
Which IPDA data range should you use?
IPDA20 can be our Short Term range - fit for intraday traders at most
IPDA40 can be our Swing Trade range - have a clear indication of the market profile
IPDA60 can be our range for position trading - have a clear indication of the market profile
Forex Master Pattern Screener 2Overview
The Forex Master Pattern Screener 2 is based on the Master Pattern, which includes contraction, expansion, and trend phases. This indicator is designed to identify and visualize market volatility, market phases, multi-timeframe contractions, liquidity points, and pivot calculations. It provides a clear image of the market's expansion and contraction phases. It's based on an alternative form of technical analysis that reveals the psychological patterns of financial markets through three phases.
Unlike the other master pattern indicators that just use highs and lows and aren't as accurate for finding contractions, this one uses actual measures of volatility to find extremely low levels of volatility and has customizable parameters depending on what you want to do.
What is the Forex Master Pattern?
The Forex Master Pattern is a framework that revolves around understanding market cycles, comprising the three main phases: contraction, expansion, and trend.
Contraction Phase: During this phase, the market has low volatility and is consolidating within a narrow range. Institutional volume tends to be low, and it's suggested to avoid trade entries during this period.
Expansion Phase: Volatility starts to increase, and there start to be bigger moves in price. Institutional traders start accumulating positions in this phase, and they might manipulate prices to draw in retail traders, creating liquidity for their own buying or selling goals.
Trend Phase: This final phase completes the market cycle. Institutional traders begin taking profits, leading to a reversal. This triggers panic among retail traders, resulting in liquidations and stops. This generates liquidity for institutional traders to profit, leaving retail traders with overvalued positions.
Value Line:
The "value line" acts as the fair value zone or the neutral belief zone where buyers and sellers agree on fair value. It can be likened to the center of gravity and is created during contraction zones.
Applications:
Identifying these phases and understanding the value lines can help traders determine the market's general direction and make better trading decisions.
This isn't a strategy but a concept explaining market behavior, allowing traders to develop various strategies based on these principles
The contractions, which are based on volatility calculations, can help you find out when big moves will occur, known as expansions.
How traders can use this indicator
1. Identifying Market Phases:
Contraction Phase: Look for periods where the market has low volatility and is contracting, indicated by a narrow range and highlighted by the contraction box. During this phase, traders prepare for a breakout but usually avoid making new trades until a clearer trend emerges.
Expansion Phase: When the indicator signals an expansion, it suggests that the market is moving out of consolidation and may be beginning a new trend. Traders might look for entry points here, anticipating a continuation of the trend.
Trend Phase: As the market enters this phase, traders look for signs of sustained movement in one direction and consider positions that benefit from this trend.
2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
By looking at multiple timeframes, traders can get a broader view of the market. For instance, a contraction phase in a shorter timeframe within an expansion phase in a longer timeframe might suggest a pullback in an overall uptrend. This indicator comes with a MTF contraction screener that is customizable.
2. Fair Value Lines:
The fair value acts like a "center of gravity.". Traders could use this as a reference point for understanding market sentiment and potential reversal points. This indicator shows these values in the middle of the contraction boxes.
3. Volatility Analysis:
This indicator's volatility settings can help traders understand the market's current volatility state. High volatility indicates a more active market with larger, faster moves, while low volatility might suggest caution and tighter stop-losses or take-profits. If volatility is contracting, then an expansion is imminent. This indicator shows the volatility with percentile ranks in 0-100 values and also alerts you when volatility is contracting, aka the contraction phase.
Volatility Calculations:
This indicator uses a geometric standard deviation to measure volatility based on historical price data. This metric quantifies the variability of price changes over a specified lookback period and then computes a percentile rank within a defined sample period. This percentile calculation helps evaluate the current volatility compared to historical levels.
Based on the percentile rank, the indicator sets thresholds to determine whether the current volatility is within a range considered "contraction" or not. For example, if there are really low levels of volatility on the percentile rank, then there is currently a contraction phase. The indicator also compares the volatility value against a moving average, where values above the current moving average value signal the expansion phase.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF):
This indicator comes with a multi-timeframe table that shows contractions for 5 different timeframes, and the table is customizable.
Bands:
This indicator comes with bands that are constructed based on the statistical calculations of the standard deviation applied to the log-transformed closing prices. It is commonly assumed that the distribution of prices fits some type of right-skewed distribution. To remove most of the skewness, you can use a log transformation , which makes the distribution more symmetrical and easier to analyze, thus the use of these bands . These bands are in the 2 standard deviation range. You can use these bands to trade at extreme levels. The band parameter is based on the contraction volatility lookback, which is in the Volatility Model Settings tab.
Ways the bands could be used with the contractions:
1. Identifying Breakout trades:
Contraction Zones: These zones indicate periods of low volatility where the market is consolidating. There are usually narrow price ranges, which are considered a build-up phase before a significant price move in any direction.
Bands: When the contraction zone occurs, you might notice the bands tightening around the price on smaller lookback periods, reflecting the decreased volatility. A continuous widening of the bands could then signal the beginning of an expansion phase, indicating a potential breakout opportunity.
2. Enhancing Trade Timing:
Before the Breakout: During the contraction phase, the bands might move closer together, reflecting the lower volatility. You can monitor this phase closely and prepare for a potential expansion. The bands can provide additional confirmation; for instance, a price move toward one of the bands might show an extreme occurrence and might show what the direction of the breakout could be.
After the breakout: Once the price breaks out of the contraction zone and goes to the expansion phase, and if it coincides with the bands widening significantly, it could reinforce the strength and potential sustainability of the new trend, providing a clearer entry.
3. Price-touching bands during a contraction:
If the price repeatedly touches one of the bands during a contraction phase, it might suggest a buildup of pressure in that direction. For example, if the price is consistently touching the upper band even though the bands are narrow, it might suggest bullish pressure that could occur once the expansion phase begin.
4. Price at the band extreme levels during Expansion:
If the price is at the extreme levels of the bands once the expansion phase occurs, it might indicate unsustainable levels and a low probability of the price continuing beyond those levels. Potentially signaling that a reversal will occur. Some trades could use these extremes to place entries during the expansion phases.
Liquidity Levels:
This script comes with liquidity points, whose functionality goes towards identifying pivotal levels in price action, focusing on swing highs and swing lows in the market. These points represent areas where significant buying (for swing lows) or selling (for swing highs) activity has occurred, implying potential levels or resistance in the price movement.
These liquidity points, often identified as highs and lows, are points where market participants have shown interest in the past. These levels can act as psychological indications where traders might place orders, leading to increased trading activity when these levels are approached or breached. When used with the Forex Master Pattern phases, liquidity levels can enhance trades placed with this indicator. For instance, if the market is expanding and approaches a significant liquidity level, there might be a higher chance of a breakout or reversal, showing a possible entry or exit point.
Liquidity Levels in the Contraction Phase:
Accumulation and Distribution: During the contraction phase, liquidity levels can indicate where huge positions are likely accumulating or distributing quietly. If price is near a known liquidity level and in a contraction phase, it might suggest that a large market player is building a position in anticipation of the next move.
Breakout Points: Liquidity levels can also give clues about where price could go after the breakout from the contraction phase. A break above a liquidity level might indicate a strong move to come as the market overcomes significant selling pressure.
Liquidity Levels in Expansion Phase:
Direct Confirmation: As the expansion phase begins, breaking through liquidity levels can confirm the new trend's direction. If the price moves past these levels with huge volume, it might indicate that the market has enough momentum to continue the trend.
Target Areas: Liquidity levels can act as target areas during the expansion phase. Traders using this indicator could look to take profits if the price approaches these levels, possibly expecting a reaction from the market.
Imbalance indicator (Multi-TimeFrame)(USA) Imbalance Indicator (Multi-TimeFrame) is an indicator designed to visualize the imbalance between two adjacent candles on a chart by drawing rectangles. It helps identify the dominance of buyers or sellers during the price's impulsive movement in an uptrend or downtrend.
Here's how the indicator works:
It determines the trend direction (up or down) based on the closing prices of the last three candles. An uptrend is identified if all three candles closed above their openings, and a downtrend if they closed below.
Depending on the trend direction, the indicator calculates the imbalance between candles. The imbalance is expressed as the difference between the low of the next candle and the high of the previous candle for an uptrend or the low of the previous candle and the high of the next candle for a downtrend. The imbalance value should be greater than 0.
When an imbalance is detected, the indicator draws a rectangle on the chart. The rectangle starts at the candle with the detected imbalance, the upper border is at the top of the imbalance, and the lower border is at the bottom of the imbalance.
The color of the rectangle depends on the trend direction: green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend.
The rectangle continues dynamically to the right until it is intersected by the next candles by 50% or more (by default). The intersection can occur in various combinations (shadow, body, or shadow + body of the candle). Once this happens, the rectangle ends on the last overlapping candle. The height overlap percentage is adjustable in the range of 1 to 100, with a default value of 50%.
Use the Imbalance Indicator to identify potential price reversal zones. Algorithms aim to cover the imbalance and trade the range in which it formed, representing a potential magnet for the price.
In the multi-timeframe version of the indicator, along with the current timeframe, rectangles from timeframes: 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 1 day are displayed by default (and can be adjusted in settings). Other timeframes (e.g., 1 week and 1 month or 30 minutes) can be selected in the settings.
You can activate/deactivate the display of imbalances from different timeframes of your choice by setting the corresponding checkbox.
Additionally, rectangles from different timeframes have different default levels of transparency, decreasing with increasing timeframe.
Frames on additional timeframes are disabled by default in transparency settings; adjust as needed in color settings.
Like in the previous version, you can customize the color scheme of rectangles for each timeframe individually.
Information display about timeframes other than the current one on imbalances is available and can be disabled in settings for each timeframe individually.
For your convenience, in the buyers' interest zone, a label is placed at 50% of the rectangle's width, spanning 3 candles. Now you can set a limit order right at the label without relying on Fibonacci retracements.
(RUS) Imbalance indicator (Multi-TimeFrame) - это индикатор, предназначенный для визуализации имбаланса между двумя соседними свечами на графике путем рисования прямоугольников. Он помогает определить доминирование покупателей или продавцов во время импульсного движение цены на восходящем или нисходящем тренде.
Вот как работает индикатор:
Он определяет направление тренда (вверх или вниз) на основе закрытия последних трех свечей. Тренд вверх определяется, если все три свечи закрылись выше своих открытий, а тренд вниз - если ниже.
В зависимости от направления тренда, индикатор вычисляет имбаланс между свечами. Имбаланс выражается в виде разницы между низом следующей свечи и верхом предыдущей свечи для восходящего тренда или между низом предыдущей свечи и верхом следующей свечи для нисходящего тренда. Значение имбаланса должно быть больше 0.
Если имбаланс обнаружен, индикатор рисует прямоугольник на графике. Прямоугольник начинается на свече с найденным имбалансом, верхняя граница прямоугольника находится на верхней границе имбаланса, а нижняя граница - на нижней границе имбаланса.
Цвет прямоугольника зависит от направления тренда: зеленый для восходящего тренда и красный для нисходящего тренда.
Прямоугольник продолжается вправо динамически, пока его не пересекут следующие свечи на 50% или более (по умолчанию). Пересечение может произойти различными комбинациями (тень, тело или тень + тело свечи). Как только это происходит, прямоугольник заканчивается на последней перекрывающей его свече. Процент перекрытия по высоте настраивается в интервале от 1 до 100, по умолчанию значение 50%.
Используйте Imbalance Indicator для определения зон вероятного возврата цены. Алгоритмы стремятся перекрыть имбаланс и проторговать диапазон, в котором он образовался, это потенциальный магнит для цены.
В мульти-таймфреймной версии индикатора, наряду с текущим таймфреймом, при первом запуске (и до момента, пока вы не измените это в настройках), отображаются прямоугольники с таймфреймов:
15 минут,
1 час,
4 часа,
1 день.
При этом другие таймфреймы (например 1 неделя и 1 месяц или 30 минут) можно выбрать в настройках.
Вы можете активировать/деактивировать отображение имбалансов с разных таймфреймов по вашему выбору, установив соответствующую галочку.
Кроме того, прямоугольники с разных таймфреймов по умолчанию имеют различную степень прозрачности, которая уменьшается по мере увеличения таймфрейма
Рамки на дополнительных таймфреймах, по умолчанию отключены настройками прозрачности, при необходимости измените это в настройках цвета.
Как и в предыдущей версии, вы можете настраивать под себя цветовую схему прямоугольников, причём для каждого таймфрейма в отдельности.
На имбалансах с отличных от текущего таймфреймов, доступно отображение информации о таймфрейме, данная опция отключается в настройках для каждого таймфрейма в отдельности.
Для вашего удобства, в зоне интереса покупателей, на 50% прямоугольника сделана метка шириною в 3 свечи, теперь не нужно натигивать фибо, можете сразу выставить лимитку по метке.
Demand and Supply Zones Pro [Afnan]Are you looking to level up your trading game and spot potential turning points in the stock market? Introducing the Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify opportunities created by the Smart money.
The Smart Money Demand and Supply Zones indicator is built upon the principles of Rally Base Rally (RBR), Rally Base Drop (RBD), Drop Base Rally (DBR), Drop Base Drop (DBD).
🔍 Key Details 🔍
The "Smart Money" concept refers to large institutional investors and professional traders who possess significant financial resources and expertise. The importance of smart money lies in their influence on market trends and price movements. Their actions and positions often serve as signals for retail traders and investors to make informed decisions.
Formation of Smart Money: Smart money is attracted to areas in the market where they can find favourable risk-to-reward opportunities.
1. Rally Base Rally (RBR) Zones: These zones occur after a rally (upward price movement), followed by a period of consolidation (base formation), and then another rally. Smart money often forms positions here as it suggests a strong uptrend continuation.
2. Rally Base Drop (RBD) Zones: In this case, there is a rally, followed by a base formation, but instead of another rally, the price drops. Smart money may position themselves here in anticipation of a potential trend reversal.
3. Drop Base Rally (DBR) Zones: These zones form when there is a drop in price, followed by a base formation, and then a rally. Smart money may take positions here, expecting a trend reversal to the upside.
4. Drop Base Drop (DBD) Zones: In this scenario, the price drops, then forms a base, but subsequently continues to drop. Smart money might take bearish positions here, anticipating further downward movement.
🚀 Pending Orders from Smart Money Zones: 🚀
When the price approaches these smart money zones, institutional investors often place remaining pending orders to enter the market.
By identifying RBR/DBR zones as potential buying opportunities and RBD/DBD zones as potential selling opportunities on price charts, retail traders can align their trades with smart money activities. Implementing proper risk management and confirming signals enhances the likelihood of successful trades by following the footsteps of institutional investors.
💡 Key Features of the Indicator 💡
This indicator includes the following features:

💎 Employing a Top-Down Approach and Multiple Time Frame Analysis: 💎
Let's delve into the concept of adopting a top-down approach combined with multiple time frame analysis in trading scenarios. It is consistently recommended to trade with the trend because, as the saying goes, "the trend is your friend." If you identify a demand zone on the chart but the overall trend is downward, it's crucial to confirm the stock's trend in higher timeframes. Avoid purchasing from the demand zone in such a scenario as you would be going against the trend. To consider buying from the demand zone, ensure that the overall trend is upward by checking the higher timeframe.
Similarly, if the higher timeframe trend is upward but the price is approaching a higher timeframe supply zone, refrain from buying in the lower timeframe. If the price reaches a higher timeframe supply zone, there is a likelihood that the price will face rejection from this zone.
If the price is significantly extended from the EMA 20 on a higher timeframe, for instance, if you plan to trade on a 30-minute timeframe and the price is considerably extended from the daily EMA 20, consider trading from zones that are closer to the daily EMA 20. When the price is extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20, it implies that the price is expensive, and there may be a tendency for it to return to the EMA 20. Therefore, it is advisable to trade from zones that are closer to the higher timeframe EMA 20 and avoid zones that are extended from the higher timeframe EMA 20.
For instance, imagine you're considering purchasing a stock that has reached a demand zone known as Rally Base Rally (RBR). If you identify a corresponding demand zone in a higher time frame located at the same position, and concurrently observe that the intermediate time frame indicates an upward trend, your potential for a successful trade is enhanced.
Conversely, if you spot a buying zone in a lower time frame, but notice a supply zone in the higher time frame at that exact position, the likelihood of a profitable trade decreases significantly. In such cases, it's prudent to steer clear of the lower time frame zone. This emphasizes the critical significance of employing a top-down approach or conducting a multiple time frame analysis.
Note: By Doing top down approach you can easily follow the footprints of smart money in the stock market or any other market by using this indicator and make well-informed trading decisions.
Remember, don't make decisions based only on one time frame. Check the overall trend of the stock and look at buying and selling points on bigger time scales. If you only use one time scale, your chances of making successful trades will be lower.

Market Structure (Breakers) [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure (Breakers) indicator aims to detect "Breaker Market Structures", an original concept inspired by breaker blocks, and extend on the original concept of market structures by extending existing MS levels, providing supports/resistances as a result.
Various graphical elements are included that highlight the interactions between price and Breaker structures.
🔶 USAGE
Breaker structures occur when a market structure is confirmed (price breaking a previous swing level). The broken swing point is extended by a dotted line which can be used as potential support or resistance.
After a market structure, the price can eventually reverse and break one or multiple breaker structures at the same time, allowing for the detection of new trends in the price.
A market structure closer to the top/bottom of a trend can return Breaker structures breakouts more indicative of potential reversals.
Breakers MS breakouts can also be useful as exits for entries done using market market structures.
The script additionally highlights support/resistance events by highlighting candle borders, with a border using a green color indicating support events while a red color is indicative of a resistance event.
🔹 Breaker Structure Lifespan
The "lifespan" of Breaker structures, that is the amount of time the script will extend/evaluate them is determined by various user settings.
The Maximum Breaks setting determines the maximum amount of breaks a breaker structure can withstand before it is broken.
For example, a maximum amount of breaks of 3 for a bearish breaker structure would require the price to cross under that precise breaker structure level three times. Using higher values of this setting will also highlight more Breakers MS.
The Breaker Maximum Duration setting on the other hand determines how many bars a breaker structure can be evaluated without being broken. If a breaker structure is not broken after this amount of bars then it will stop being evaluated and will be removed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings Period: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer term markter structures.
Maximum Breaks: Amount of break required for a breaker block to be considered broken.
Breaker Maximum Duration: Maximum duration of a breaker block (in bars).

FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing
