Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.

It visualizes possible long opportunities after sell-offs and short traps after price rallies—ideal for traders who want to anticipate reversals based on volume structure.
🧩 Features
📈 Detects rising price with falling volume → potential short covering
📉 Detects falling price with falling volume → potential long absorption
🔍 Flags volume spike conditions using normalized volume vs MA
🔵 Plots “L” (Long Covering) below bars
🔴 Plots “S” (Short Trap) above bars
Customizable pivot lookback and exhaustion period
⚙️ How to Use
Use "L" markers as possible long re-entry points after shakeouts
Use "S" markers to watch for failed rallies or bull traps
Combine with S/R zones or trend filters to confirm
Works well in conjunction with Wyckoff-style market logic or volume spread analysis (VSA)
🔧 Configuration
Price movement Lookback: Sets how many bars to compare for trend detection
Exhaustion Lookback: Defines the recent window to confirm price is exhausted
Normalized Volume MA Length: Used to determine volume spikes relative to average
⚠️ Limitations
Not a standalone signal — should be used with confluence (e.g., support/resistance, trend filters)
Best for spotting potential reversals, not trend-following entries
May generate false signals in low volume chop or news spikes
💡 Advanced Tips
Combine with a trend filter like appropriate EMA to avoid counter-trend setups
Use with a support/resistance script to find confluence zones
Watch for clustered L/S signals — multiple signals in a zone may show strong absorption or distribution
📝 Notes
Signal logic is based on volume exhaustion and price movement divergence
Normalized volume helps compare relative volume across time
“Spike” condition triggers only when volume exceeds 100% of its moving average

DA Cloud - DynamicDA Cloud - Dynamic | Detailed Overview
🌟 What Makes This Indicator Special
The DA Cloud - Dynamic is an advanced technical analysis tool that creates adaptive support and resistance zones that expand and contract based on market volatility. Unlike traditional static indicators, this cloud system "breathes" with the market, providing dynamic levels that adjust to changing market conditions.
📊 Core Components
1. Multi-Layered Cloud Structure
Resistance Cloud (Red): Three dynamic resistance levels (RL1, RL2, RL3) with intermediate channels (RC1, RC2)
Support Cloud (Green): Three dynamic support levels (SL1, SL2, SL3) with intermediate channels (SC1, SC2)
Trend Cloud (Blue): Five trend lines (TU2, TU1, TM, TL1, TL2) that flow through the center
Confirmation Line (Purple): A fast-reacting line that confirms trend changes
2. Forward Displacement Technology
The entire cloud system is projected 21 bars into the future (Fibonacci number), allowing traders to see potential support and resistance levels before price reaches them. This predictive element is inspired by Ichimoku Cloud theory but enhanced with modern volatility dynamics.
🔬 How It Works (Without Revealing the Secret Sauce)
Volatility-Responsive Design
The indicator continuously measures market volatility across multiple timeframes
During high volatility periods (like major breakouts), clouds expand dramatically
During consolidation, clouds contract and tighten around price
This creates a "breathing" effect that adapts to market conditions
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Incorporates Fibonacci sequence periods (3, 13, 21, 34, 55) for calculations
Blends short-term responsiveness with long-term stability
Creates smooth, flowing lines that filter out market noise
Dynamic Level Calculation
Levels are not fixed percentages or static bands
Each level adapts based on current market structure and volatility
Channel lines (RC1, RC2, SC1, SC2) provide intermediate support/resistance
🎯 Key Features
1. Touch Point Detection
Colored dots appear when price touches key levels
Red dots = resistance touch
Green dots = support touch
Blue dots = trend median touch
2. Entry/Exit Signals
"Cloud Entry" labels when confirmation line crosses above SL1
"Cloud Exit" labels when confirmation line crosses below RL1
Background color changes based on bullish/bearish bias
3. Information Table
Real-time display of key levels (RL1, TM, SL1)
Current bias indicator (BULLISH/BEARISH)
Updates dynamically as market moves
⚙️ Customization Options
Main Controls:
Sensitivity (5-50): How responsive clouds are to price movements
Smoothing (1-50): Controls the flow and smoothness of cloud lines
Forward Displacement (0-50): How many bars to project the cloud forward

Volatility Smoothing (1-50): Reduces spikes in volatility expansion
Expansion Power (0.1-2.0): Controls how dramatically clouds expand
Range Divisor (1.0-20.0): Master control for overall cloud width
Level Spacing:
Individual multipliers for each resistance and support level
Allows fine-tuning of cloud structure to match different markets
Trend Spacing:
Separate controls for inner and outer trend bands
Customize the trend cloud density
📈 Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification
Price above TM (Trend Median) = Bullish bias
Price below TM = Bearish bias
Cloud color and width indicate trend strength
2. Support/Resistance Trading
Use RL1/SL1 as primary targets and reversal zones
RC1/RC2 and SC1/SC2 provide intermediate levels
RL3/SL3 mark extreme levels often seen at major tops/bottoms
3. Volatility Analysis
Expanding clouds signal increasing volatility and potential big moves
Contracting clouds indicate consolidation and potential breakout setup
Cloud width helps with position sizing and risk management
4. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Works on all timeframes from 1-minute to monthly
Higher timeframes show major market structure
Lower timeframes provide precise entry/exit points
🎓 Best Practices
Combine with Volume: High volume at cloud levels increases reliability

VoluTrend | Auto Trendlines + VolumeVoluTrend is a trendline tool that combines pivot detection with volume validation to help traders see only meaningful market structures.
How it works:
Pivot Detection: The script scans for local swing highs and lows using a customizable number of left and right bars. This ensures that each pivot reflects a significant turning point in price action.
Volume Filter: Each pivot is checked against a simple volume filter: the pivot is only valid if its associated bar has higher volume than a user-defined multiple of the average volume over a configurable period. This prevents weak or irrelevant pivots from cluttering the chart.
Automatic Trendlines: Once a valid pivot is found, the script automatically draws a trendline from the previous pivot to the new one. It keeps only a limited number of lines to avoid overcrowding the chart. This creates a dynamic, real-time trendline system that updates as price action evolves.
Why combine these elements?
Many auto trendline tools draw lines for every swing, but not all swings are significant. By combining pivot detection with a volume filter, VoluTrend focuses on price levels where notable participation occurred, helping traders better interpret real support/resistance and trend continuation or reversal points.

Expansion Triangle [TradingFinder] MegaPhone Broadening🔵 Introduction
The Expanding Triangle, also known as the Broadening Formation, is one of the key technical analysis patterns that clearly reflects growing market volatility, increasing indecision among participants, and the potential for sharp price explosions.
This pattern is typically defined by a sequence of higher highs and lower lows, forming within two diverging trendlines. Unlike traditional triangles that converge to a breakout point, the expanding triangle pattern becomes wider over time, leaving no precise apex for a breakout to occur.
From a price action perspective, the pattern represents a prolonged tug-of-war between buyers and sellers, where neither side has taken control yet. Each aggressive swing opens the door to new opportunities whether it's a trend reversal, range trading, or a momentum breakout. This dual nature makes the pattern highly versatile across market conditions, from exhausted trend ends to volatile consolidation zones.
The custom-built indicator for this pattern uses a combination of smart algorithms and detailed analysis of swing dynamics to automatically detect expanding triangles and highlight low-risk entry points.
Traders can use this tool to capitalize on high-probability setups from shorting near the upper edge of the structure with confirmation, to trading bearish breakouts during trend continuations, or entering long positions near the lower boundary during bullish reversals. The chart examples included in this article demonstrate these three highly practical trading scenarios in live market conditions.
A major advantage of this indicator lies in its structural filtering engine, which analyzes the behavior of each price leg in the triangle. With four adjustable filter levels from Very Aggressive, which highlights all potential patterns, to Very Defensive, which only triggers when price actually touches the triangle's trendlines the indicator ensures that only structurally sound and verified setups appear on the chart, reducing noise and false signals significantly.
Long Setup :
Short Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The pattern typically forms in conditions of heightened uncertainty and volatility, where price swings generate a series of higher highs and lower lows. The expanding triangle consists of three key legs bounded by diverging trendlines. The indicator intelligently analyzes each leg's direction and angle to determine whether a valid pattern is forming.
At the core of the indicator’s logic is its leg filtering system, which controls the quality of the pattern and filters out weak or noisy setups. Four structural filter modes are available to suit different trading styles and risk preferences. In Very Aggressive mode, filters are disabled, and the indicator detects any pattern purely based on the sequence of swing points.
This mode is ideal for traders who want to see everything and apply their own discretion.
In Aggressive mode, the indicator checks whether each new leg extends no more than twice the length of the previous one. If a leg overshoots excessively, the structure is invalidated.
In Defensive mode, the filter enforces a minimum movement requirement each leg must move at least 2% of the previous one. This prevents the formation of shallow, weak patterns that visually resemble triangles but lack substance.
The strictest setting, Very Defensive, combines all previous filters and additionally requires the price to physically touch the triangle’s trendlines before issuing a signal. This ensures that setups only appear when real market interaction with key structural levels has occurred, not based on assumptions or geometry alone. This mode is ideal for traders seeking maximum precision and minimal risk.
🟣 Bullish Setup
A bullish setup within the Expanding Triangle pattern occurs when price revisits the lower support boundary after a series of broad swings typically near the third leg of the formation. This area often represents a shift in momentum, where sellers begin to lose strength and buyers prepare to take control.
Ideally, the setup is accompanied by a bullish reversal candle (e.g. doji, pin bar, or engulfing) near the lower trendline. If the Very Defensive filter is active, the indicator will only issue a signal if price makes a confirmed touch on the trendline and reacts from that level. This significantly improves signal accuracy and filters out premature entries.
After confirmation, traders may choose to enter a long position on the bullish candle or shortly afterward. A logical stop-loss is placed just below the recent swing low within the pattern. The target can be set at or near the upper trendline, or projected using the full height of the triangle added to the breakout point. On higher timeframes, this reversal often marks the beginning of a strong uptrend.
🟣 Bearish Setup
A bearish setup forms when price climbs toward the upper resistance trendline, usually as the third leg completes. This is where buyers often begin to show exhaustion, and sellers step in with strength providing an ideal low-risk entry point for short positions.
As with the bullish setup, if the Candle Confirmation filter is enabled, the indicator will only show a signal when a bearish reversal candle forms at the point of contact. If Defensive or Very Defensive filters are also active, the setup must meet strict criteria of proportionate leg movement and an actual trendline touch to qualify.
Once confirmed, traders can enter on the reversal candle, placing a stop-loss slightly above the recent high. The target can be set at the lower trendline or calculated based on the triangle's full height, projected downward. This setup is particularly useful at the end of weak bullish trends or in volatile market tops.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logic Settings
Pivot Period : Defines how many bars are analyzed to identify swing highs and lows. Higher values detect larger, slower structures, while lower values respond to faster patterns. The default value of 13 offers a balanced sensitivity.
Pattern Filter :
Very Aggressive : Detects all patterns based on point sequence with no structural checks.
Aggressive : Ensures each leg is no more than 2x the size of the previous one.
Defensive : Requires each leg to be at least 2% the size of the previous leg.
Very Defensive : The strictest level; only confirms patterns when price touches trendlines.
Candle Confirmation : When enabled, the indicator requires a valid confirmation candle (doji, pin bar, engulfing) at the interaction point with the trendline before issuing a signal. This reduces false entries and improves entry precision.
🟣 Alert Settings
Alert : Enables alerts for SSS.
Message Frequency : Determines the frequency of alerts. Options include 'All' (every function call), 'Once Per Bar' (first call within the bar), and 'Once Per Bar Close' (final script execution of the real-time bar). Default is 'Once per Bar'.
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : Configures the time zone for alert messages. Default is 'UTC'.
🔵 Conclusion
The Expanding Triangle pattern, with its wide structure and volatility-driven nature, represents chaos but also opportunity. For traders who can read its behavior, it provides some of the most powerful setups for reversals, breakouts, and range-based trades. While the pattern may seem messy at first glance, it is built on clear logic and when properly detected, it offers high-probability opportunities.
This indicator doesn’t just draw expanding triangles it intelligently evaluates their structural quality, validates price interaction through candle confirmation, and allows the trader to fine-tune the detection logic through adjustable filter levels. Whether you’re a reversal trader looking for a turning point, or a breakout trader hunting momentum, this tool adapts to your strategy.
In volatile or uncertain markets, where fakeouts and sudden shifts are common, this indicator can become a cornerstone of your trading system helping you turn volatility into structured, high-quality opportunities.
N-Pattern Detector (Advanced Logic)Introduction
The N-Pattern Detector (Advanced Logic) is a powerful Pine Script-based tool designed to identify a specific price structure known as the "N-pattern", which often indicates trend continuation or potential breakout points in the market. This pattern combines zigzag pivot logic, retracement filters, volume confirmation, and trend alignment, offering high-probability trading signals.
It is ideal for traders who want to automate pattern detection while applying smart filters to reduce false signals in various markets — including stocks, forex, crypto, and indices.
What is the N-Pattern?
The N-pattern is a 3-leg price formation consisting of points A-B-C-D. It typically follows this structure:
Bullish N-Pattern:
A → Low Pivot
B → Higher High (Impulse)
C → Higher Low (Retracement)
D → Breakout above B (Confirmation)
Bearish N-Pattern:
A → High Pivot
B → Lower Low (Impulse)
C → Lower High (Retracement)
D → Breakdown below B (Confirmation)
The pattern essentially reflects a trend–pullback–breakout structure, making it suitable for continuation trades.

Trading session High/Low (Lumiere)Trading session High/Low
What it does:
Plots the High and Low for each session (Asia, London, New York) as horizontal zones that “snap” to the first true extreme of the session and then extend right.
Key points:
Snap‑to‑extreme only: Lines don’t draw at the open; they appear only once price makes a new session high or low, and anchor exactly at that bar.
Persistent until next session: Once drawn, each session’s lines stay on the chart after the session ends, and are cleared only when that same session next opens (or when you hide it).
Three configurable sessions:
Asia: 18:00–03:00 (UTC‑4)
London: 03:00–09:30 (UTC‑4)
New York: 09:30–16:00 (UTC‑4)
Customizable appearance:
You can toggle each session on/off, choose its color, and set line width.
The time that is already set on the different sessions is based on the standard session open/close. If you want to change it, it will refer to the NY time, UTC -4.
Advanced Range Theory - ART📊 Advanced Range Theory (ART): The Institutional Blueprint
Stop drawing lines. Start reading the blueprint of the market. Advanced Range Theory (ART) is not another support and resistance indicator; it is a military-grade market structure engine designed to decode the language of institutional capital. It operates on a single, powerful premise: markets move in phases of consolidation and expansion, and the key to anticipation lies in understanding the complete lifecycle of these phases.
ART provides a living, breathing map of the battlefield, identifying institutional accumulation zones and tracking them with unparalleled precision from their inception as "Pending" ranges to their ultimate classification after a breakout. This is your X-ray into the market's skeletal structure.
🔬 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: THE ARCHITECTURE OF PRICE ACTION
ART is built on a multi-layered system of logic that moves beyond static levels. It treats ranges as dynamic entities with a narrative—a beginning, a middle, and an end. The core of the system is the dynamic classification engine, which analyzes not just the range, but the character of the price action that resolves it.
1. The Range Lifecycle: From Accumulation to Classification
This is the revolutionary heart of ART. A range's true identity is only revealed by how it is broken.
Phase 1: PENDING (Yellow): A new range is identified based on a period of price consolidation (a "parent" candle followed by a minimum number of "inside" candles). At this stage, it is a neutral zone of potential energy—an area where institutions are likely building positions. It is a question the market has not yet answered.
Phase 2: MITIGATION & CLASSIFICATION: When price breaks out and reaches a calculated extension level, the range is considered "mitigated." At this exact moment, ART analyzes the breakout's DNA to classify the range's true intent:
TYPE 1 - BREAKOUT (Blue): Characterized by a strong, impulsive move with confirming volume. This is a high-conviction breakout, signaling aggressive institutional participation and the likely start of a new trend. It is a statement of intent.
TYPE 2 - REVERSAL (Orange): Occurs when price attempts to break one way but is aggressively rejected, reversing and breaking out the other side. This signals absorption and a "failed auction," often marking significant market turning points.
TYPE 3 - PIVOT (Green): A more balanced breakout, lacking the explosive momentum of a Type 1. This often represents a resolution after a period of indecision or a pivot within a larger trading range.
2. The Hierarchical Map: Source & S/R Levels
ART doesn't just draw boxes; it builds a genealogical map of market structure.
SOURCE LEVEL (Thick Gold Line): This is the "genesis" point—the most recently mitigated range. It acts as the primary point of origin for the current market swing and serves as a critical level for determining overall bias. Price action above the Source is generally bullish; below is bearish.
S/R LEVELS (Cyan Lines): When a range is mitigated, the price level where it broke becomes a key Support/Resistance zone for the future. ART tracks the two most recent S/R levels, as these often act as powerful magnets or rejection points for price.
3. The Multi-Factor Validation Engine
To eliminate noise and focus only on institutionally significant ranges, every potential range must pass a rigorous quality control check:
Time-Based Consolidation: Requires a minimum number of consecutive inside candles (minInsideCandles), ensuring a true period of balance.
Volatility-Based Significance: The range's size must be greater than a multiple of the Average True Range (minRangeSize), filtering out insignificant micro-consolidations.
Participation Confirmation: The parent candle of the range is checked against average volume to ensure there was meaningful activity during its formation.
⚙️ THE COMMAND CONSOLE: CONFIGURING YOUR ART ENGINE
Every input is designed to give you granular control over the detection engine, allowing you to tune ART to any market or timeframe with precision. Each tooltip in the script provides a deep dive, but here is a summary of the core controls.
🎯 ART Detection Engine
Minimum Inside Candles: The soul of the detection algorithm. It defines the minimum number of bars that must be contained within a single "parent" candle to qualify as a range. Higher values (3-4) find major, significant consolidation zones. Lower values (1-2) are more sensitive and will identify shorter-term accumulation patterns.
Extension Multiplier & Fibonacci Extension: These control the profit target projections. The Extension Multiplier uses a simple measured move (e.g., 1.0 = a 1:1 projection of the range's height). The Fibonacci Extension uses the golden ratio (1.618) for harmonically-derived targets.
Mitigation Method (Cross vs. Close): Determines how a breakout is confirmed. Cross is more responsive, triggering as soon as price touches the extension. Close is more conservative, requiring a full candle to close beyond the level, which helps filter out fake-outs from wicks.
Min Range Size (ATR): A crucial noise filter. It ensures that ART ignores tiny, insignificant ranges by requiring a range's height to be a certain multiple of the current market volatility (ATR).

This visualization helps reveal hidden "tendrils" of momentum and short-term support/resistance that are not immediately obvious, acting as a "sonar" for immediate price flow.
📊 THE ANALYTICS HUB: YOUR DASHBOARD DECODED
The dashboard provides a real-time, at-a-glance intelligence briefing on the current state of market structure as seen by the ART engine.
RANGE METRICS: This section is a "census" of the market's structure. It tells you the total number of ranges identified, how many are still Pending (awaiting a breakout), how many are Unmitigated (active but not yet broken), and how many have been Mitigated (classified and complete).
TYPE BREAKDOWN: This is a powerful gauge of market character. A high count of Type 1 (Breakout) ranges suggests a strong, trending environment. A rising number of Type 2 (Reversal) ranges can signal market exhaustion and potential trend changes. A dominant Type 3 (Pivot) count indicates a balanced, rotational market.
KEY GUIDE: The Large dashboard includes a full legend, so you never have to guess what a line or color represents. It's your built-in user manual.
🎨 DECODING THE BLUEPRINT: A VISUAL INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Every line and color in ART is designed for instant, intuitive understanding.
The Range Lines:
Yellow Lines: A Pending range. This is an active zone of accumulation. Pay close attention.
Colored Lines (Blue/Orange/Green): An unmitigated, classified range. The color tells you its breakout character.
Dotted Lines: A Mitigated range. Its story has been told. These historical levels can still act as support or resistance.
The Identification Zones: These colored boxes appear at a range's origin point after it has been classified. They are the "birth certificate" of the range, permanently marking its type (Breakout, Reversal, or Pivot) and providing an immediate visual history of market behavior.
The Hierarchical Lines:
Thick Gold Line (Source): The most important line on your chart. It is the anchor for your bias.
Cyan Lines (S/R): High-probability decision points. Expect reactions here.
Purple Dotted Lines (Extensions): Logical, calculated profit targets for breaking ranges.
🔧 THE ARCHITECT'S VISION: THE DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
ART was born from a deep frustration with the static and subjective nature of traditional market structure analysis. Drawing lines by hand is inconsistent, and most indicators are reactive, only confirming what has already happened. The goal was to create a proactive, objective, and dynamic framework that could think about the market in terms of phases and lifecycles.
The breakthrough came from a simple shift in perspective: a range's true character isn't defined when it forms, but by how it resolves. This led to the development of the "post-breakout classification engine," which waits for the market to show its hand before assigning a definitive type. The Webb Scanner was inspired by the desire to visualize the unseen, to create a tool that could feel the immediate "pull" and "push" of price flow. The result is not just an indicator; it is a new language for interpreting price action, built on a foundation of logic, clarity, and precision.
⚠️ RISK DISCLAIMER & BEST PRACTICES
Advanced Range Theory is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to enhance a trader's decision-making process. It does not provide direct buy or sell signals. The levels and classifications it generates are based on historical price action and mathematical probabilities. All trading involves substantial risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use this tool in conjunction with a robust risk management plan.

FVGFVG indicator
A Fair Value Gap is when the price moved very fast without looking back in the short term. Usually this is an indication of smart money plays.
### Basics FVGs ###
Fair value gaps are determined with 3 candlesticks
When bullish this is the difference from the cs1 high to the cs3 low, = BISI.
When bearish this is the difference from the cs1 low to the cs3 high, = SIBI.
By default it shows SIBI and BISI FVGs those just follow the 2 simplest rules above.
Default colour = blue as this is neutral.
Those FVG drawings should be used to calibrate the following 3 special FVGs.
### Special FVGs ###
Than there are 3 more conditions to define FVG's in more detail
1. Expansion / Breakout FVG
This is when the body of cs3 is more than % of cs2
Default colour = yellow as this is not positive.
2. Rejection / Rejected FVG
This is when the FVG created from cs1 and cs2 is filled for more than % by the move of cs3 (by the wicks).
Default colour = yellow as this is not positive.
3. True FVG
This is when the cs3 after a FVG (that is not expansion or rejection) has a very small body vs wicks. So if the body is smaller than % of the whole cs3. Additionally the cs3 body has to close above cs2 high when BISI and cs3 body has to close below cs2 low when SIBI.
Default colour = green as this is positive.
### Visuals ###
You can change the colouring of all the FVGs.
You can change which FVGs you want to see.
### Technical Calibration ###
The % of the move of cs3 back into the FVG of cs1 & cs2 to determine if a FVG is an expansion.
Thee % of the body of cs3 compared to cs2 to determine if a FVG is a rejection.
Body % of cs3 that complements to determine if a FVG is a true FVG.
### How to use ####
This is not providing any trades on itself it is rather a complement for people that are trading with fair value gaps to quantify their approach in the framework described above.
The indicator can be used on all timeframes and tickers. It is advised to approach any FVG strategy by searching confluence on multiple timeframes.

Wickless Candles detector - [STRATTON]This TradingView indicator is designed to automatically identify wickless candles and draw horizontal lines from their price levels.
Key Features 📈📉
Automatic Detection: The script identifies several types of wickless candles:
Bullish Candles: Those with no upper wick, no lower wick, or that are completely wickless.
Bearish Candles: Those with no upper wick, no lower wick, or that are completely wickless.
Wickless Doji: A very rare case where the open, close, high, and low are all identical.
Level Plotting: A line is automatically drawn from the corresponding price level (the high or low of the wickless part of the candle). These lines can serve as a reference for future price interactions.
Dynamic Line Management: By default, when a line is touched by the price of a subsequent candle, it is automatically deleted from the chart. This helps keep the chart clean by showing only "active" levels that have not yet been tested.
Integrated Alert System: You can set up alerts in TradingView to be notified in real-time as soon as any type of wickless candle is detected on the chart.
Customizable Settings ⚙️
The indicator offers great flexibility through its numerous settings:
Colors: Fully customize the line colors for bullish (default green), bearish (default red), and doji (default yellow) candles.
Line Appearance:
Style: Choose between solid, dashed, or dotted lines.
Width: Adjust the line width for better visibility.
Extension: Lines can extend indefinitely to the right (Extended Lines) or have a fixed length that you can define (Line Length).
Line Behavior:
Keep Touched Lines: If this option is enabled, instead of being deleted, lines will stop at the point where the price touched them, leaving a visual record of tested levels.

Vrext- Advanced EMA ZoneThe indicator highlights an area between two manually adjustable EMA-s to visibly mark a zone. A zone where the larger EMA is bellow the smaller one (indicating an uptrend) is marked green. On the opposite hand where higher EMA is above the lower the zone (indicating a downtrend) is marked red.
For correct zone marking enter EMA-s in descending order.
The indicator also allows you to add further additional EMA-s, which do not have a zone drawn between them and are just stand alone EMA-s. They are fully customisable in terms of colour, width. etc.
Additionally the indicator allows you to plot a vertical line ''xyz'' candles in the past. The idea behind it is that if you want to only focus on the previous 150 candles, there will be a clear line at the 150th candle for easier navigating.

Linton Price Targets(R)Linton Price Targets
A groundbreaking new way of projecting price targets and when they will be met in the future.
Point and figure charts have largely fallen out of favour in recent decades with the birth of personal computing and electronic data services. Few software systems calculate them correctly, and the technique is seen as outdated and difficult for the newcomer to technical analysis to understand. Linton Price Targets takes the point and figure methodology for producing vertical count targets and applies them to time-based charts that are much more widely used for technical analysis.
To place Point and figure price targets on a time-based chart, we first need to relate the conditions that produce the vertical count targets. Vertical Targets are only generated with uninterrupted moves off a high or a low point in prices. A pullback of at least 3 boxes locks the thrust column and therefore the price target. A move of at least one box above (in the case of an upside target off a low) or one box below (downside off a high) ‘activates’ the price target. Here the buyers and sellers respectively are confirmed. Conversely a move below the base of an upside target column, or above the top of a downside column ‘negates’ the vertical target. In this case, the buyers and sellers have been superseded by subsequent events.
Projecting Price
The price projection following the point and figure 3-Box method is relatively straightforward. The standard projection used is twice the original move from the top of the initial thrust level. This derives from the 3-Box construction devised by Cohen, whereby the initial thrust count is a third of the overall price count projection. But there is no reason to limit the Target Price Factor to the value to 2. A value of 1 could be used in the case of consolidation patten where the move out of the pattern is roughly equivalent to the move into the pattern. A value of 1.618 could be used for Fibonacci Retracements or Extensions or a value of 2 x log, can be used to deal with increasing box (unit) sizes as price changes.
Projecting Time
Projecting a potential price target with is relatively straight forward. Determining a time in the future when such a price target will be met is more of a challenge. This has been seen as one of the major drawbacks of point and figure charts for decades. Because there is no time axis on a Point and figure chart, there is no saying when a count projection target will be met.
For the Time to Target, we need to consider potential methodologies such as:
1. Price to Time Ratio – t units of price for every x units of time – ie $1 every 2 days
2. Thrust Angle Factor – a factor x the initial trust angle for the target angle
3. Time to Activation Factor – time to target is x the time taken for a target to activate
4. Follow the Price – track prices as the progress to target and adjust time to target accordingly
5. Historical Average Slope – historical average price time average for last n targets
Considering the Price to Time Ratio method, Chart 1 below shows a chart of the price targets for the US stock Applied Materials with a Unit size of $1. The targets are projected Log Scale 2x the initial thrust. From this chart we see that the target prices are reached later than the projection predicted. This means that we need to consider a lesser slope. Chart 2 below shows the same chart with the slope now adjusted to $1 every three days. This chart shows that recent targets for Applied Materials have been approximately met with this slope. Therefore, this is a better slope to use in this instance.
Chart 1 - Applied Materials (unit size $1) - target projection slope $1 every 2 days
Chart 2 - Applied Materials (unit size $1) - target projection slope $1 every 3 days
Chart 3 - Applied Materials (unit size $1) - target projection slope 1/2 initial thrust slope
The second method of projecting price targets assumes the time that a price target will be reached is directly related to the speed of the initial thrust, which generates the target. Chart 3 shows the same security as in the previous examples but using this method with an angle of slope which is half the initial thrust angle. The factor can also be altered with this method to best fit the data. In the previous examples (Charts 1 & 2) we see the slope of each of the targets is constant. Using the Thrust Angle Factor method, different buying and selling thrust angles produces different target slopes.
A third possible projection method assumes that the longer a price target takes to activate, the longer it takes for a target to be reached. The argument goes that the pullback from the initial thrust is more of a consolidation phase rather than a sharp reaction and therefore, the potential overall move will take longer. Chart 4 shows this method. Again, we see that, due to the varying times of price targets to activate, the slopes of the targets are not uniform as in Method 1 which uses a consistent price to time slope.
Chart 4: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target projection x times the time taken for target to activate.
Chart 5: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target projection readjusts with new price information
A fourth method for predicting when in the future that a price target might be met adjusts the slope of the targets from the activation point as new price information arrives. With multiple targets activated at different points on the chart, this method also produces price targets of different slopes. Because targets are readjusted with every new price, it is best to set this method to ignore the last x bars in order to spot any divergence from the targets. Chart 5 shows this methodology.
Chart 6 shows a method where the average slope of price over time is taken for the previous n targets that are achieved and used as the slope for projecting targets into the future. While the slopes for upward and downward targets can be separately adjusted with the previous methods mentioned, this method automatically calculates the different slope speeds of upside and downside targets.
Chart 6: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target projection based on the average slope of the last x targets.
Multiple Price Targets
As with Point and figure count targets, multiple price targets point to the same price or price level increases the likelihood of price targets being met. This is known as ‘clustering’. Now with the ability to project price targets to a future date on a chart, it is not only possible to see clustering of the price of multiple targets, but also clustering of times targets may be met. This can lead to a ‘cluster zone’, an area of price and time in the future that multiple targets may be met. Chart 7 shows an example of this.
Chart 7: Applied Materials (unit size $1) – target zone of future price and time of multiple targets
Achievement and Non-Achievement of Price Targets and Prevailing Trend
Point and figure targets are approximate and are more often than not, not met precisely. They are regularly not achieved or exceeded, but this provides valuable information in itself. Upside price targets that are achieved or exceeded shows bullish confirmation, whereas these targets not being achieved indicates a degree of bearishness. Conversely, downside price targets achieved or exceeded is bearish confirmation and such targets not achieved is an indication of inherent bullishness.
Unsurprisingly, price targets are normally achieved or exceeded in line with the prevailing trend. Upside price targets should be given more weight in uptrends, while downside ones may only serve as a temporary moment for caution, because they are counter-trend. Downside Targets will carry more weight in downtrends. It is also often the case that the last target in line with the prevailing trend is never met as the trend changes and a new set of targets in the opposite direction are generated with the new reversal of trend. Active price targets in both directions are often an early sign of this. This is particularly true with multiple targets in the new trend direction verses one lone target in the previous trend direction. This lone target is likely to be negated, clearly signalling the new trend direction is taking hold.
Activation and Negation of Price Targets
An upside price target is only activated when prices rise a further than a full price unit above the top of the initial uninterrupted buying thrust in prices from a low. A low is defined by a price level at least one full price unit below a previous recent low. The pullback downwards of at least three price units ‘locks’ the initial thrust that generates the upside price target. Here the bulls buying from the bottom have been confirmed.
A downside price target is only activated when prices fall further than a full price unit below the bottom of the initial uninterrupted selling thrust in prices from a high. A high is defined by a price level at least one full price unit above a previous recent high. The pullback upwards of at least three price units ‘locks’ the initial thrust that generates the downside price target. Here the bears selling from the top have been confirmed.
A target is valid once the column is locked with the pullback of at least three units, but it should not be considered as active until the price breaks through the activation level. An unactivated target serves as advance notice that a target is in place and will become active once the activation price level is broken.
An upside price target is negated if prices fall below the bottom of the initial uninterrupted buying thrust in prices. In this instance the bulls have been beaten by the bears. Conversely, a downside price target is negated if prices rise above the top of the initial uninterrupted Selling thrust in prices. Here the bears selling from the top have been beaten by the bulls.
It is important to note the difference between a target that is activated first and then negated and a target that was never activated and negated first. Research shows that normally more than half of all negated targets were never activated and wouldn’t have been taken. Taking the prevailing trend into account further reduces the number of negated targets that would have been taken at the activation point.
Evaluating a Target as Price Progress
Because Linton Price targets can be evaluated with subsequent new price information with the passage of time, it becomes possible to see more easily, than on a point and figure chart, when a target might be failing. The ideas of activation, negation, and achievement of price targets are understood in point and figure charting and apply similarly here to time-based charts. But the ability to now see prices diverging from the target path presents us with some potential new states of a target. In the case of an upside target, if prices fall away or wander sideways from a target path this alerts us to the fact that the prices on their way to the target may be ‘exhausting’. If we fall or wander back below the target activation level, this implies the previous resistance level off the thrust high has not managed to become a new support level for the price. Consequently, we may consider that the target has been ‘de-activated’. If we fall further below the low of the pullback low point, this previous support level also failed to hold and this is providing us with an early warning that the target is quite possibly ‘failing.’ If prices are moving towards the target as expected, we can say the target is ‘in train.’ This is particularly appropriate for multiple targets that run parallel using the first price/time slope prediction method where the targets look like ‘train tracks.’
Improbable Targets
Occasionally an improbable target a long way from the price will be generated. This is particularly true using a log scale projection. Beware of a target that points to a very large change in price. This is especially true of a lone target. It is also quite likely that the unit size has been set too small where a bigger unit size may not produce a target at all.
Longer term charts
Point and figure charts have always meant to be constructed with tick data. The point and figure methodology reduces this down to just the ticks that create a new box on the chart. Long tick data price histories are typically expensive and hard to come by. This can also be an overwhelming amount data to store and analyse, particularly in the case of very liquid instruments such as a major currency pair. For intraday charts, one minute data will normally suffice. But these histories may not be long enough either and it may be necessary to use a 60-minute chart.
It is also possible to construct point and figure charts using high/low data or even open-high-low-close data making some assumptions based on a rising or falling candle, on which came first, the high or the low. The targets will be impacted accordingly.
When it comes to longer term charts such as weekly or monthly charts it is unlikely that these time frames would be used for point and figure charts. The construction method already filters the data. But when it comes to long-term time based charts it becomes necessary to look at weekly or monthly data.
You will also see that long term price upside targets are generated that are not on the daily chart. This is because daily the movements will not provide the same uninterrupted buying thrusts as with the monthly data. The daily pullbacks are effectively ignored when using monthly data. The other advantage is the unit size is now months so we can say that the target slope equates to 1% of price every month for a 1 to 1 slope for example. Using weekly or monthly data to construct the price targets is a significant departure from the traditional point and figure charting method.
Time-Based Charts Are Easier to Understand Than Point and Figure Charts
In recent years, the vast majority of people carrying out technical analysis of charts do not use the point and figure charts. This is partly because very few software systems draw them correctly and do not calculate the price targets. Newcomers to technical analysis find point and figure charts hard to understand.
Combining With Other Techniques
Using point and figure charts has also often meant the need to switch between different chart types for the same instrument. Time-based charts allow for a vast set of technical analysis time-series based techniques to be married with Linton Price Targets. Having different sets of analysis on the same chart can increase the power of the analysis without having to swap between different chart types.
Linton Price Targets builds on the technical analysis body of knowledge developed over the past 100 years by bringing an old, largely lost, technique into the modern age.
The main advantages of Linton Price Targets are:
• The ability to have price targets on time-based charts.
• It is now possible to ascertain when in the future a price target may be met.
• With the passage of time, it becomes clearer if a target track is being followed.
• The targets can be applied to longer-term time-based charts.
• Time-series based analysis techniques can be used on the same chart as the targets.
• The targets are much easier to understand for the newcomer to technical analysis.

Reversal IndicatorWhat does this indicator do?
This indicator is designed to help traders spot potential reversal points in the market by combining multiple conditions:
✅ Multi-Timeframe RSI – Checks RSI on a lower timeframe (like 5m) to see if the market is oversold or overbought.
✅ Higher Timeframe SMA Filter – Uses a higher timeframe SMA (like 1h) as a trend filter, so signals only trigger in the direction of the bigger trend.
✅ Candle Pattern Confirmation – Looks for bullish or bearish engulfing candles to confirm price exhaustion before signaling a reversal.
When all these conditions align, the indicator plots a triangle under/above the candle to highlight a possible reversal.
Why is this useful?
Many traders struggle with false RSI signals or candle patterns that fail because they don’t respect the larger trend.
This indicator filters out weak setups by requiring alignment between:
A lower timeframe RSI oversold/overbought condition,
A higher timeframe trend filter (SMA),
And a strong candle reversal pattern.
This multi-layer approach helps avoid chasing every RSI dip and focuses only on high-probability reversal zones.
How does it work?
Bullish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is oversold, price is still above the higher TF SMA (trend still intact), AND a bullish engulfing candle forms.
Bearish reversal signal → appears when RSI on the lower TF is overbought, price is below the higher TF SMA, AND a bearish engulfing candle forms.
When all conditions match, the indicator plots a triangle under the candle for bullish signals and above the candle for bearish signals.
How to use it?
Choose your timeframes:
A timeframe for trend filtering (e.g. 1h).
A timeframe for RSI (e.g. 4h).
NOTICE: THE RSI TIMEFRAME SHOULD BE GREATER THEN THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE SMA
Otherwise it will not generate that much signals.
Watch for signals ONLY in the direction of the higher trend.
Use the signals as potential reversal points, not as guaranteed entries. Combine with your own confluence.
Optionally set alerts for bullish or bearish reversal conditions so you never miss a setup.
Customization
✅ Choose your RSI length & overbought/oversold levels.
✅ Select which timeframes you want for SMA & RSI.
✅ Toggle the higher TF SMA display on/off.
✅ Adjust signal appearance (triangles).

Universal Renko Bars by SiddWolfUniversal Renko Bars or UniRenko Bars is an overlay indicator that applies the logic of Renko charting directly onto a standard candlestick chart. It generates a sequence of price-driven bricks, where each new brick is formed only when the price moves a specific amount, regardless of time. This provides a clean, price-action-focused visualization of the market's trend.
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL RENKO BARS?
For years, traders have faced a stark choice: the clean, noise-free world of Renko charts, or the rich, time-based context of Candlesticks. Choosing Renko meant giving up your favorite moving averages, volume profiles, and the fundamental sense of time. Choosing Candlesticks meant enduring the market noise that often clouds true price action.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
Universal Renko Bars is a revolutionary indicator that ends this dilemma. It's not just another charting tool; it's a powerful synthesis that overlays the pure, price-driven logic of Renko bricks directly onto your standard candlestick chart. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds:
❖ The Clarity of Renko: By filtering out the insignificant noise of time, Universal Renko reveals the underlying trend with unparalleled clarity. Up trends are clean successions of green bricks; down trends are clear red bricks. No more guesswork.
❖ The Context of Candlesticks: Because the Renko logic is an overlay, you retain your time axis, your volume data, and full compatibility with every other time-based indicator in your arsenal (RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, etc.).
The true magic, however, lies in its live, Unconfirmed Renko brick. This semi-transparent box is your window into the current bar's real-time struggle. It grows, shrinks, and changes color with every tick, showing you exactly how close the price is to confirming the trend or forcing a reversal. It’s no longer a lagging indicator; it’s a live look at the current battle between buyers and sellers.
Universal Renko Bars unifies these two powerful charting methods, transforming your chart into a more intelligent, noise-free, and predictive analytical canvas.
HOW TO USE
To get the most out of Universal Renko Bars, here are a few tips and a full breakdown of the settings.
Initial Setup for the Best Experience
For the cleanest possible view, it's highly recommended that you hide the body of your standard candlesticks, that shows only the skelton of the candle. This allows the Renko bricks to become the primary focus of your chart.
→ Double click on the candles and uncheck the body checkbox.
Settings Breakdown
The indicator is designed to be powerful yet intuitive. The settings are grouped to make customization easy.
First, What is a "Tick"?
Before we dive in, it's important to understand the concept of a "Tick." In Universal Renko, a Tick is not the same as a market tick. It's a fundamental unit of price movement that you define. For example, if you set the Tick Size to $0.50, then a price move of $1.00 is equal to 2 Ticks. This is the core building block for all Renko bricks. Tick size here is dynamically determined by the settings provided in the indicator.
❖ Calculation Method (The "Tick Size" Engine)
This section determines the monetary value of a single "Tick."
`Calculation Method` : Choose your preferred engine for defining the Tick Size.
`ATR Based` (Default): The Tick Size becomes dynamic, based on market volatility (Average True Range). Bricks will get larger in volatile markets and smaller in quiet ones. Use the `ATR 14 Multiplier` to control the sensitivity.
`Percentage` : The Tick Size is a simple percentage of the current asset price, controlled by the `Percent Size (%)` input.
`Auto` : The "set it and forget it" mode. The script intelligently calculates a Tick Size based on the asset's price. Use the `Auto Sensitivity` slider to make these automatically calculated bricks thicker (value > 1.0) or thinner (value < 1.0).
❖ Parameters (The Core Renko Engine)
This group controls how the bricks are constructed based on the Tick Size.
`Tick Trend` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the same direction to print a new continuation brick. A smaller value means bricks form more easily.
`Tick Reversal` : The number of "Ticks" the price must move in the opposite direction to print a new reversal brick. This is typically set higher than `Tick Trend` (e.g., double) to filter out minor pullbacks and market noise.
`Open Offset` : Controls the visual overlap of the bricks. A value of `0` creates gapless bricks that start where the last one ended. A value of `2` (with a `Tick Reversal` of 4) creates the classic 50% overlap look.
❖ Visuals (Controlling What You See)
This is where you tailor the chart to your visual preference.
`Show Confirmed Renko` : Toggles the solid-colored, historical bricks. These are finalized and will never change. They represent the confirmed past trend.
`Show Unconfirmed Renko` : This is the most powerful visual feature. It toggles the live, semi-transparent box that represents the developing brick. It shows you exactly where the price is right now in relation to the levels needed to form the next brick.
`Show Max/Min Levels` : Toggles the horizontal "finish lines" on your chart. The green line is the price target for a bullish brick, and the red line is the target for a bearish brick. These are excellent for spotting breakouts.
`Show Info Label` : Toggles the on-chart label that provides key real-time stats:
🧱 Bricks: The total count of confirmed bricks.
⏳ Live: How many chart bars the current live brick has been forming. These bars forms the Renko bricks that aren't confirmed yet. Live = 0 means the latest renko brick is confirmed.
🌲 Tick Size: The current calculated value of a single Tick.
Hover over the label for a tooltip with live RSI(14), MFI(14), and CCI(20) data for additional confirmation.
TRADING STRATEGIES & IDEAS
Universal Renko Bars isn't just a visual tool; it's a foundation for building robust trading strategies.
Trend Confirmation: The primary use is to instantly identify the trend. A series of green bricks indicates a strong uptrend; a series of red bricks indicates a strong downtrend. Use this to filter out trades that go against the primary momentum.
Reversal Spotting: Pay close attention to the Unconfirmed Brick . When a strong trend is in place and the live brick starts to fight against it—changing color and growing larger—it can be an early warning that a reversal is imminent. Wait for the brick to be confirmed for a higher probability entry.
Breakout Trading: The `Max/Min Levels` are your dynamic breakout zones. A long entry can be considered when the price breaks and closes above the green Max Level, confirming a new bullish brick. A short entry can be taken when price breaks below the red Min Level.
Confluence & Indicator Synergy: This is where Universal Renko truly shines. Overlay a moving average (e.g., 20 EMA). Only take long trades when the green bricks are forming above the EMA. Combine it with RSI or MACD; a bearish reversal brick forming while the RSI shows bearish divergence is a very powerful signal.
