[eLm] 0-1-2# 📈 Market Structure Indicator – Counter System
This indicator dynamically analyzes price action to detect key market structure shifts and trend strength using four essential formations:
## 🔍 Detected Structures
- **Higher High (HH):** A candle forming a new high above recent peaks
- **Lower Low (LL):** A candle forming a new low below recent bottoms
- **Higher Low (HL):** A higher dip, indicating potential trend continuation
- **Lower High (LH):** A lower peak, signaling potential weakness
## 🧠 Structure Protection Logic
After a HH or LL is formed, if price does not breach that level within a user-defined number of candles, the level is considered **"protected."**
This provides insight into trend strength and market reaction.
## 🔢 HL / LH Counter System
- Each HL or LH increases a counter.
- A new HH or LL **resets** the corresponding counter to zero.
> This helps visualize how many consecutive HL or LH structures have occurred — useful for measuring trend momentum.
## 🎯 Use Cases
- Trend following and confirmation
- Early trend reversal detection
- Building structure-based trading strategies
- Understanding price behavior and market intent

Auto Trendlines [AlgoXcalibur]Effortlessly visualize trendlines.
This algorithm does more than just draw lines connecting structural swing points — it reveals dynamic support & resistance breakouts with clarity and precision while significantly reducing your workload compared to the hassle of manually drawing trendlines.
🧠 Algorithm Logic
This advanced Auto Trendlines indicator delivers clear market structure through an intelligent multi-fractal design, revealing useful swing structures in real time. For those seeking maximum awareness, the optional Micro Trendlines (Dotted) constantly monitors even the most recent and minor structural shifts — keeping you fully in tune with evolving market dynamics. A Break Detection Engine constantly monitors each trendline and provides instant visual feedback when structural integrity is lost: broken lines turn gray, stop extending, and remain visible to enhance clarity and situational awareness. The algorithm is carefully refined to prevent chart distortion commonly caused by forcing entire trendline structures into view — preserving a natural and accurate charting experience. To further ensure optimal readability, an integrated Clutter Control mechanism limits the number of visible trendlines — focusing attention only on the most relevant structures.
⚙️ User-Selectable Features
• Micro Trendlines (Dotted): Ultra-responsive short-term trendlines that react to even the smallest structural shifts — ideal for staying ahead of early trend changes.
• Broken Trendline Declutter: Enable to display only the most recent broken trendlines to simplify chart visuals and maintain clarity, or disable to analyze previous price action.
💡 Modern Innovation
Auto Trendline indicators are often inaccurate, clumsy, and rely on slow methods that fail to adapt. AlgoXcalibur’s Auto Trendline indicator takes a modern, refined approach — combining smart pivot logic for both speed and stability, dynamic break detection with clear visual cues, and displaying only the most relevant trendlines while prioritizing accuracy, preventing distortion, and reducing clutter — automatically.

headmapOverview
Advanced Price-Action Zones is a comprehensive, professional-grade indicator designed to automatically map and visualize the most critical historical price levels on your chart. Moving beyond simple lines, it renders these levels as dynamic, semi-transparent zones, providing an intuitive 'heatmap' of significant support, resistance, and potential liquidity areas.
This tool is built for traders who demand a clean, data-rich chart that adapts in real-time to market movements, with a fully customizable interface for personal tuning.
Core Features
Automated Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Automatically plots the high and low of the previous Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and 12-Hour sessions, forming the backbone of your structural analysis.
Heatmap-Style Visualization: Levels are displayed as colored zones rather than simple lines. This allows you to instantly spot areas of confluence where multiple historical levels overlap, indicating stronger S/R.
Dynamic Daily Highlighting: The most recent previous day's high/low is shown in a primary color (default: yellow). As a new day begins, these zones automatically fade to a distinct historical color (default: grey), keeping your focus on the most relevant and recent price action.
Intraday Liquidity Targets: Temporary 12-hour zones are plotted with "L. Shorts" and "L. Longs" labels, highlighting potential short-term reversal areas or stop-run targets. These zones automatically expire to keep the chart clean.
Daily Range Context: A subtle background fill visualizes the entire range of the previous trading day, extending into the current session to provide immediate context for breakouts or range-bound behavior.
Toggleable Volume Data: Get deeper insights with floating labels showing the volume on the bar that created a key Daily, Weekly, or Monthly level. This feature can be turned on or off in the settings.
Full Customization: Every color for every zone type, background, and text element is fully adjustable via the indicator's input menu.
On-Chart Informative Legend: A clean legend in the top-right corner explains the color-coding and the implied importance of each timeframe.
How to Interpret the Visuals
High-Timeframe Levels (Monthly/Red, Weekly/Orange): Use these major zones to identify significant market turning points, high-probability reversal areas, and logical take-profit targets for swing trades.
Mid-Timeframe Levels (Daily): The yellow zones (most recent) represent the immediate battlefield. A decisive move beyond this area can set the tone for the session. The grey zones provide a historical map of prior daily structures.
Short-Timeframe Levels (12-Hour/Blue): Treat these as intraday targets. They often represent areas where stop-losses and liquidations might be clustered, making them magnets for price in the short term.
Disclaimer & Technical Notes
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or trade signals. All trading involves significant risk.
Technical Note on lookahead: This indicator correctly uses lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on when requesting higher-timeframe data. This is the standard, industry-accepted method to ensure that a completed historical value (e.g., the previous day's high) is plotted consistently and accurately across all chart timeframes. It does not "repaint" in the conventional sense of changing past signals, but rather ensures data stability.
This is a protected, closed-source script.
Liquidity Point LinesLiquidity Point Lines
The "Liquidity Point Lines" indicator helps traders identify potential areas of liquidity in the market by drawing lines at specific price levels where significant "liquidation events" may have occurred. These events are determined by analyzing the MACD Histogram and identifying pivot points that suggest strong movements, which are often associated with the flushing out of short or long positions.
How It Works
This indicator leverages the MACD Histogram to gauge the strength of price momentum. It then identifies pivot highs and lows within the MACD Histogram's values. When a significant pivot is detected, the indicator interprets this as a potential "liquidity point" — a price level where a substantial amount of buy or sell orders (often due to liquidations) may have been executed.
The indicator distinguishes between:
Shorts Liquidation Points (Resistance): These are identified when the MACD Histogram registers a pivot high, suggesting a strong upward movement that could have liquidated short positions. Lines are drawn at the high price of the bar where this pivot occurred.
Longs Liquidation Points (Support): Conversely, these are identified when the MACD Histogram registers a pivot low, indicating a strong downward movement that might have liquidated long positions. Lines are drawn at the low price of the bar where this pivot occurred.
Key Features and Settings
The "Liquidity Point Lines" indicator offers extensive customization to tailor its sensitivity and visual representation:
MACD Settings for Liquidity: Configure the underlying MACD calculation with adjustable Fast Length, Slow Length, Source, Signal Smoothing, and MA Types (SMA/EMA) for both the Oscillator and Signal Line.
Liquidity Points Settings:
Pivot Lookback Left/Right: Define the number of bars to look back on either side to identify a pivot in the MACD Histogram.
Dynamic Strength Thresholds: This powerful feature allows the indicator to dynamically calculate the significance of a liquidation event. When enabled, it uses the average absolute histogram value over a specified Dynamic Threshold Lookback Period and applies Small and Medium Threshold Factors to determine the strength (Small, Medium, or Large) of the liquidity point.
Fixed Strength Thresholds: If dynamic thresholds are disabled, you can set fixed numerical values for Small and Medium Histogram Thresholds to define the strength categories.
Color & Style Customization: Assign distinct colors for Small, Medium, and Large liquidation points, choose the Line Style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and set the Label Text Color.
Label X Offset (To Right): Adjust the horizontal position of the liquidity point labels on your chart.
Liquidity Points Management:
Max Active Liquidity Lines: Control the maximum number of liquidity lines displayed simultaneously on your chart. Older lines are automatically removed to maintain clarity, except for lines that have been "touched" (i.e., price has interacted with that liquidity level).
Visual Interpretation
Each liquidity line is colored according to the strength of the detected liquidation event, making it easy to visually assess the potential significance of the price level. Lines extend to the right, serving as ongoing reference points. When the price interacts with a liquidity line (i.e., "touches" it), the line and its corresponding label are removed, indicating that the liquidity at that level may have been absorbed.
This indicator can be a valuable tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels, understanding market reactions to "liquidation cascades," and informing your trading decisions.
Obsession.FX Sessions IndicatorSession & Fractal Structure Tool — for Market Phases and Microstructure Analysis
This script combines session timeframes with local fractal identification to help traders analyze market context and structural shifts. It is designed for those applying Smart Money Concepts, where precise session boundaries and reactions to key levels are critical.
Session Zones
The script visualizes the three main trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. It helps to:
– identify active phases of market participation;
– track each session’s Highs and Lows;
– interpret price behavior in relation to intraday liquidity shifts.
Each session is fully customizable — including start/end time, background and border colors, and display style (box, high/low lines, filled zones).
Fractal Structure
Fractals are shown as local highs and lows, supporting:
– detection of BOS/CHOCH on lower timeframes;
– building A→B ranges for structural flow;
– confirming short-term directional changes.
The fractal algorithm is optimized for responsiveness and clarity, with no repainting and minimal delay.
Purpose and Usage
This tool is intended for contextual reading of price action: determining the active session and monitoring price behavior within its boundaries, with a focus on microstructural reactions. It supports building precise entry logic based on the interaction between session ranges and fractal structure.
Closed Source Justification
The script is closed-source due to its use of proprietary logic for fractal detection and session integration, developed as part of a private trading methodology not available in public libraries.
Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)Core Concept
Unlike traditional moving averages that use fixed smoothing factors, FRAMA adapts its responsiveness based on how "fractal" or chaotic the price movement is:
In trending markets (low fractal dimension), it becomes more responsive
In choppy/sideways markets (high fractal dimension), it becomes smoother
How It Works
1. Fractal Dimension Calculation:
Splits the lookback period into two halves
Calculates price ranges for each half and the total period
Uses logarithmic ratios to determine the fractal dimension (bounded between 1.0 and 2.0)
2. Dynamic Alpha Calculation:
Converts fractal dimension to a smoothing factor (alpha)
Higher fractal dimension = lower alpha = smoother average
Lower fractal dimension = higher alpha = more responsive average
3. Adaptive Smoothing:
Applies the calculated alpha to create the moving average
FRAMA = alpha × current_price + (1 - alpha) × previous_FRAMA
Key Parameters
Length (16): Lookback period for calculations
Fast Constant (4.0): Maximum responsiveness limit
Slow Constant (300.0): Minimum responsiveness limit
Visual Features
Line Color: Green when rising, red when falling
Background: Light green above FRAMA (bullish), light red below (bearish)
Information Table: Shows current FRAMA value, price, trend direction, and efficiency ratio
Close Price: Plotted as a semi-transparent white line for comparison
Trading Applications
FRAMA is particularly useful for:
Trend Following: More responsive in strong trends, less noisy in consolidations
Support/Resistance: Acts as dynamic support in uptrends, resistance in downtrends
Market Regime Detection: The efficiency ratio helps identify trending vs. ranging markets
Entry/Exit Signals: Crossovers and price position relative to FRAMA
The indicator automatically balances between being fast enough to catch trends early while being smooth enough to avoid false signals in choppy markets.
In this FRAMA script, fractal refers to measuring the complexity or "roughness" of price movements over time, not the self-similar geometric patterns we typically think of.
What the Script Measures
The script calculates a fractal dimension that quantifies how chaotic or smooth the price action is:
Low fractal dimension (closer to 1.0): Price moves in a relatively straight, trending manner
High fractal dimension (closer to 2.0): Price moves in a jagged, choppy, sideways manner.
The Logic
If the market is trending smoothly:
The sum of the two half-period ranges will be close to the total range
This gives a fractal dimension closer to 1.0
The indicator becomes more responsive (faster)
If the market is choppy/sideways:
The sum of the two half-period ranges will be much larger than the total range
This gives a fractal dimension closer to 2.0
The indicator becomes less responsive (smoother)
Practical Example
Imagine a 16-period lookback:
Trending market: Price goes from 100 → 116 steadily
Choppy market: Price bounces 100→108→102→114→106→116
The choppy market has a higher fractal dimension because there's more "path length" relative to the actual distance traveled.
Why This Matters
The fractal dimension becomes the adaptive mechanism that automatically adjusts the moving average's sensitivity based on current market conditions - making it faster in trends and smoother in consolidations.
what is efficiency that is shown in tables
The efficiency shown in the table measures how "efficient" or smooth the FRAMA line is compared to the actual price movement.
What It Means
Efficiency = FRAMA Movement ÷ Price Movement
Values close to 0: FRAMA is very smooth/stable while price is moving significantly
Values close to 1: FRAMA is moving almost as much as the price
Values > 1: FRAMA is moving more than the raw price (rare, usually in very short periods)
Practical Interpretation
Low Efficiency (0.1 - 0.3):
FRAMA is doing a good job of smoothing out noise
Market is likely choppy/sideways
The adaptive mechanism is working - keeping the average stable during consolidation
High Efficiency (0.7 - 1.0):
FRAMA is closely following price movements
Market is likely trending strongly
The adaptive mechanism is making the average more responsive
Medium Efficiency (0.3 - 0.7):
Balanced market conditions
FRAMA is providing moderate smoothing
Trading Context
This efficiency ratio helps you understand:
Market regime: Is this a trending or ranging market?
Signal quality: Low efficiency periods might produce fewer but higher-quality signals
Adaptive performance: How well the FRAMA is adapting to current conditions
For example, if you see efficiency at 0.15, it means the FRAMA moved only 15% as much as the price did in the last bar, indicating it's successfully filtering out noise in a choppy market. If efficiency is 0.85, the FRAMA is closely tracking price, suggesting a trending environment where you want the average to be responsive.
Previous Daily High/LowThe previous day’s high and low are critical price levels that traders use to identify potential support, resistance, and intraday trading opportunities. These levels represent the highest and lowest prices reached during the prior trading session and often act as reference points for future price action.
Why Are Previous Daily High/Low Important?
Support & Resistance Zones
The previous day’s low often acts as support (buyers defend this level).
The previous day’s high often acts as resistance (sellers defend this level).
Breakout Trading
A move above the previous high suggests bullish momentum.
A move below the previous low suggests bearish momentum.
Mean Reversion Trading
Traders fade moves toward these levels, expecting reversals.
Example: Buying near the previous low in an uptrend.
Institutional Order Flow
Market makers and algos often reference these levels for liquidity.
How to Use Previous Daily High/Low in Trading
1. Breakout Strategy
Long Entry: Price breaks & closes above previous high → bullish continuation.
Short Entry: Price breaks & closes below previous low → bearish continuation.
2. Reversal Strategy
Long at Previous Low: If price pulls back to the prior day’s low in an uptrend.
Short at Previous High: If price rallies to the prior day’s high in a downtrend.
3. Range-Bound Markets
Buy near previous low, sell near previous high if price oscillates between them.
Example Trade Setup
Scenario: Price opens near the previous day’s high.
Bullish Case: A breakout above it targets next resistance.
Bearish Case: Rejection at the high signals a pullback.
TIME-SPLT ACADEMY INDICATOR# TIME-SPLT ACADEMY CISD + FVG + TSM FRACTALS - Comprehensive Market Structure Analysis Tool
## Overview
This indicator combines three essential market structure analysis components into a unified trading tool: Change in State Direction (CISD), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and TSM Fractals. This integration provides traders with a complete framework for identifying market structure breaks, price imbalances, and key pivot levels on any timeframe.
## Component 1: CISD (Change in State Direction)
**What it is:** CISD identifies significant breaks in market structure by tracking when price decisively breaks above previous swing highs (bullish CISD) or below previous swing lows (bearish CISD). This concept is fundamental to understanding trend changes and continuation patterns.
**How it works:**
- Monitors swing highs and lows using customizable pivot periods
- Tracks when price closes above a previous swing high (bullish structure break)
- Tracks when price closes below a previous swing low (bearish structure break)
- Draws horizontal lines from the pivot point to the break point with "CISD" labels
- Works on multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Trading Applications:**
- Identifies trend changes and continuation signals
- Provides entry signals on structure breaks
- Helps determine market bias and direction
## Component 2: FVG (Fair Value Gaps)
**What it is:** Fair Value Gaps are price imbalances that occur when there's a gap between the high of one candle and the low of another candle two periods later, with the middle candle not filling this gap. These represent areas where price moved inefficiently and often return to "fill" the gap.
**How it works:**
- Analyzes 3-candle patterns to identify gaps
- Bearish FVG: Gap between low and high where price dropped leaving unfilled space above
- Bullish FVG: Gap between high and low where price rose leaving unfilled space below
- Tracks 8 different candle body combinations for each direction (up, down, doji patterns)
- Monitors gap mitigation when price returns to fill the imbalance
- Changes color when gaps are partially or fully mitigated
**Gap Detection Logic:**
- Bearish FVG patterns: DDD, DDJ, JDD, UDJ, JDU, UDD, DDU, UDU
- Bullish FVG patterns: DUD, DUJ, JUD, UUJ, JUU, UUD, DUU, UUU
- (D=Down candle, U=Up candle, J=Doji candle)
**Trading Applications:**
- High-probability reversal zones when price returns to FVGs
- Support and resistance levels
- Target areas for limit orders
- Risk management reference points
## Component 3: TSM Fractals
**What it is:** TSM Fractals identify significant pivot highs and lows using Williams Fractal methodology. These mark potential reversal points and key support/resistance levels.
**How it works:**
- Identifies fractal highs: peaks where the center candle's high is higher than surrounding candles
- Identifies fractal lows: valleys where the center candle's low is lower than surrounding candles
- Uses customizable lookback periods (default 15) for fractal identification
- Displays horizontal lines with "$" symbols at fractal levels
- Maintains a configurable number of recent fractals on the chart
**Trading Applications:**
- Key support and resistance levels
- Potential reversal zones
- Confluence with other analysis tools
- Stop loss placement reference points
## Why This Combination Works
**Synergistic Analysis:** Each component provides different but complementary information:
1. **CISD** shows when market structure changes, indicating trend shifts or continuation
2. **FVGs** reveal where price has moved inefficiently and may return for rebalancing
3. **Fractals** highlight key pivot points that often act as support/resistance
**Trading Edge:** The combination allows for:
- **Entry Confirmation:** Wait for CISD breaks near unfilled FVGs at fractal levels
- **Risk Management:** Use FVG boundaries and fractal levels for stop placement
- **Target Selection:** Project moves to opposite FVGs or fractal levels
- **Market Context:** Understand whether you're trading with or against structure
## Key Features
**Multi-Timeframe CISD:**
- Customizable timeframe settings (Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month)
- Adjustable swing length for pivot identification
- Customizable line styles, widths, and colors
- Optional alerts on structure breaks
**Advanced FVG Management:**

- Real-time mitigation tracking
- Color-coded active vs. mitigated gaps
- Optional pip value labels
- Large gap alerts for significant imbalances
**Intelligent Fractal Display:**
- Configurable fractal periods
- Maximum fractal count management
- Clean visual presentation
- Historical fractal preservation
## Settings & Customization
**CISD Settings:**
- Timeframe selection and multipliers
- Swing length adjustment (default 7)
- Line styling options
- Color customization for bullish/bearish breaks
- Alert toggle options
**FVG Settings:**
- Show/hide toggles for each direction

Tensor Market Analysis Engine (TMAE)# Tensor Market Analysis Engine (TMAE)
## Advanced Multi-Dimensional Mathematical Analysis System
*Where Quantum Mathematics Meets Market Structure*
---
## 🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Tensor Market Analysis Engine represents a revolutionary synthesis of three cutting-edge mathematical frameworks that have never before been combined for comprehensive market analysis. This indicator transcends traditional technical analysis by implementing advanced mathematical concepts from quantum mechanics, information theory, and fractal geometry.
### 🌊 Multi-Dimensional Volatility with Jump Detection
**Hawkes Process Implementation:**
The TMAE employs a sophisticated Hawkes process approximation for detecting self-exciting market jumps. Unlike traditional volatility measures that treat price movements as independent events, the Hawkes process recognizes that market shocks cluster and exhibit memory effects.
**Mathematical Foundation:**
```
Intensity λ(t) = μ + Σ α(t - Tᵢ)
```
Where market jumps at times Tᵢ increase the probability of future jumps through the decay function α, controlled by the Hawkes Decay parameter (0.5-0.99).
**Mahalanobis Distance Calculation:**
The engine calculates volatility jumps using multi-dimensional Mahalanobis distance across up to 5 volatility dimensions:
- **Dimension 1:** Price volatility (standard deviation of returns)
- **Dimension 2:** Volume volatility (normalized volume fluctuations)
- **Dimension 3:** Range volatility (high-low spread variations)
- **Dimension 4:** Correlation volatility (price-volume relationship changes)
- **Dimension 5:** Microstructure volatility (intrabar positioning analysis)
This creates a volatility state vector that captures market behavior impossible to detect with traditional single-dimensional approaches.
### 📐 Hurst Exponent Regime Detection
**Fractal Market Hypothesis Integration:**
The TMAE implements advanced Rescaled Range (R/S) analysis to calculate the Hurst exponent in real-time, providing dynamic regime classification:
- **H > 0.6:** Trending (persistent) markets - momentum strategies optimal
- **H < 0.4:** Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) markets - contrarian strategies optimal
- **H ≈ 0.5:** Random walk markets - breakout strategies preferred
**Adaptive R/S Analysis:**
Unlike static implementations, the TMAE uses adaptive windowing that adjusts to market conditions:
```
H = log(R/S) / log(n)
```
Where R is the range of cumulative deviations and S is the standard deviation over period n.
**Dynamic Regime Classification:**
The system employs hysteresis to prevent regime flipping, requiring sustained Hurst values before regime changes are confirmed. This prevents false signals during transitional periods.
### 🔄 Transfer Entropy Analysis
**Information Flow Quantification:**
Transfer entropy measures the directional flow of information between price and volume, revealing lead-lag relationships that indicate future price movements:
```
TE(X→Y) = Σ p(yₜ₊₁, yₜ, xₜ) log
```
**Causality Detection:**
- **Volume → Price:** Indicates accumulation/distribution phases
- **Price → Volume:** Suggests retail participation or momentum chasing
- **Balanced Flow:** Market equilibrium or transition periods
The system analyzes multiple lag periods (2-20 bars) to capture both immediate and structural information flows.

Modified Fractal Open/CloseModified Fractal (Open/Close Based) - Indicator
The Modified Fractal (Open/Close Based) indicator offers a new way to detect fractal patterns on your chart by analyzing the open and close prices instead of the traditional high and low values.
🧮 How it works:
The indicator evaluates a group of 5 consecutive candles.
The central candle (2 bars ago) is analyzed.
For a Bullish Fractal:
The open or close of the central candle must be lower than the open and close of the other 4 surrounding candles.
For a Bearish Fractal:
The open or close of the central candle must be higher than the open and close of the other 4 surrounding candles.
Once a valid pattern is detected, a visual symbol (triangle) is plotted directly on the chart and an alert can be triggered.
✅ Key Features:
Non-repainting signals (evaluated after candle close)
Fully mechanical detection logic
Easy-to-use visual signals
Alert conditions ready to be integrated into TradingView’s alert system
Suitable for multiple timeframes (can be used from M1 to Daily and beyond)
🎯 Use case:
This modified fractal approach can help traders:
Spot potential swing points
Identify possible reversals
Confirm price exhaustion zones
Support breakout or mean reversion strategies
⚠ Note:
This indicator does not provide trade signals by itself. It is recommended to be combined with additional tools, price action analysis, or risk management rules.

OI-RSI – measures conviction behind position changes instead of price momentum.
Funding Rate – shows who pays to hold positions (longs → bull bias, shorts → bear bias).
Fractal Divergences – detects HH/LL in price that are not confirmed by OI-RSI.
Optional Funding filter – hides signals when funding is already extreme.
Together these elements highlight exhaustion points and potential mean-reversion trades.
2 Inputs
RSI / Divergence
RSI length – default 14.
High-OI level / Low-OI level – default 70 / 30.
Fractal period n – default 2 (swing width).
Fractals to compare – how many past swings to scan, default 3.
Max visible arrows – keeps last 50 BUY/SELL arrows for speed.
Funding Rate
mode – choose FR, Avg Premium, Premium Index, Avg Prem + PI or FR-candle.
Visual scale (×) – multiplies raw funding to fit 0-100 oscillator scale (default 10).
specify symbol – enable only if funding symbol differs from chart.
use lower tf – averages 1-min premiums for smoother intraday view.
show table – tiny two-row widget at chart edge.
Signal Filter
Use Funding filter – ON hides long signals when funding > Buy-threshold and short signals when funding < Sell-threshold.
BUY threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
SELL threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
(Enter funding thresholds as raw percentages, e.g. 0.01 = +0.01 %).
3 Visual Outputs
Sub-pane
Aqua OI-RSI curve with 70 / 50 / 30 reference lines.
Funding visualised according to selected mode (green above 0, red below 0, or other).
BUY / SELL arrows at oscillator extremes.
Price chart
Identical BUY / SELL arrows plotted with force_overlay = true above/below candles that formed qualifying fractals.
Optional table
Shows current asset ticker and latest funding value of the chosen mode.
4 Signal Logic (Summary)
Load _OI series and compute RSI.
Retrieve Funding-Rate + Premium Index (optionally from lower TF).
Find fractal swings (n bars left & right).
Check divergence:
Bearish – price HH + OI-RSI LH.
Bullish – price LL + OI-RSI HL.
If Funding-filter enabled, require funding < Buy-thr (long) or > Sell-thr (short).
Plot arrows and trigger two built-in alerts (Bearish OI-RSI divergence, Bullish OI-RSI divergence).
Signals are fixed once the fractal bar closes; they do not repaint afterwards.
5 How to Use
Attach to a liquid perpetual-futures chart (BTC, ETH, major Binance contracts).
If _OI or funding series is missing you’ll see an error.
Choose timeframe:
15 m – 4 h for intraday;
1 D+ for swing trades.
Lower TFs → more signals; raise Fractals to compare or use Funding filter to trim noise.
Trade checklist
Funding positive and rising → longs overcrowded.
Price makes higher high; OI-RSI makes lower high; Funding above Sell-threshold → consider short.
Reverse logic for longs.
Combine with trend filter (EMA ribbon, SuperTrend, etc.) so you fade only when price is stretched.
Automation – set TradingView alerts on the two alertconditions and send to webhooks/bots.
Performance tips
Keep Max visible arrows ≤ 50.
Disable lower-TF premium aggregation if script feels heavy.
6 Limitations
Some symbols lack _OI or funding history → script stops with a console message.
Binance Premium Index begins mid-2020; older dates show na.
Divergences confirm only after n bars (no forward repaint).

Trend Persistence Counter (TPC) by riskcipher🧭 Trend Persistence Counter (TPC) – A Simple Price Action Trend Duration Tool
Trend Persistence Counter (TPC) is a lightweight indicator that counts how long a trend persists after a breakout.
It is entirely based on price action, without using any moving averages or smoothing. The goal is to give a simple, rule-based view of trend continuity.
🧠 How It Works (Logic Overview)
This indicator switches between two modes: bullish and bearish.
If close > previous high, the counter enters bullish mode, and starts at +1
While in bullish mode:
If close >= previous low → continue the uptrend → +1 each bar
If close < previous low → trend ends → reset to 0, switch to bearish mode
If close < previous low, the counter enters bearish mode, and starts at -1
While in bearish mode:
If close <= previous high → continue the downtrend → -1 each bar
If close > previous high → trend ends → reset to 0, switch to bullish mode
This provides a bar-by-bar count of trend persistence based on whether price holds structure.
🎯 Use Cases
Track how long a trend continues after a breakout
Quickly detect when trend structure breaks
Help visually filter “strong” vs “weak” moves
Build logic-based alerts (e.g., trend continues for N bars)
🔍 Why Use This Instead of Traditional Indicators?
This is not meant to replace moving averages or trend filters.
But it offers some advantages for those who prefer structure-based logic:
Feature TPC
Based on Price Action ✅ Yes
Uses Lagging Filters ❌ No moving average or smoothing
Trend Duration Measurement ✅ Counts valid consecutive moves
Complexity ⚪ Very simple and transparent
It’s a simple concept and easy to understand, but still useful when combined with other tools or visualized on its own.
⚙️ Technical Notes
Works on any timeframe or instrument
The value is positive during bullish persistence, negative during bearish
Value resets to 0 when trend structure breaks
All logic is calculated bar-by-bar, in real time
✅ Example Usage Ideas
Highlight candles when TPC value crosses a certain threshold (e.g., strong breakout continuation)
Use the zero-cross as a potential reversal warning
Filter trend signals in your existing strategies
FVG Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The FVG Trailing Stop indicator tracks unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVG) data to produce a Trailing Stop indicator able to determine if the market is uptrending or downtrending easily.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Trailing Stop is intended to identify trend directions through its position relative to the closing price:
Bullish: Price is located above the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bearish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue upwards.
Bearish State: Price is located below the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bullish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue downwards.
The Trailing Stop originates from two extremities obtained from the average of respective unmitigated FVGs. The specific directional average is also displayed as a more transparent secondary line, however, the trailing stop is derived from this value and a new trend will not be detected until the opposite directional average is crossed.
Price reaching the Trailing Stop is caused by retracements and can lead to the following scenarios:
Outcome 1: The directional average is crossed next, indicating a new trend direction.
Outcome 2: The directional average is held as support or resistance, leading to a new impulse and a continuation of the trend.
🔹 Reset on Cross
While price crossing the Trailing Stop should be considered as a sign of an upcoming trend change; it is possible for the price to still evolve outside it.
As a solution, we have included the "Reset on Cross" feature, which (as the name suggests) hides and resets the Trailing Stop each time it is crossed, leading to a "Neutral" state.
This opens the opportunity for the Trailing Stop to be displayed again once the price moves again in the direction of the pre-established trend. A trader might use this to accumulate positions within a specific trend.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects the point of the FVG farthest from the current price when formed.
For Upwards FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Downwards FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed only to use the last input lookback of FVGs. If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the lookback is full, the oldest will be deleted.
From there, it uses a "trailing" logic only to move the Trailing Stop in one direction until the trailing stop resets or the direction flips.
The extremities used to calculate the Trailing Stop are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent-obtained averages.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVGs that the script will use.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the Trailing Stop to reduce erratic results.
Reset on Cross: When enabled, hide and reset the Trailing Stop until the price starts moving in the pre-established trend direction again.
SMT Divergence [Dova Lazarus]Title: SMT
Description:
The SMT (Smart Money Technique) indicator is designed to help traders identify potential divergences between correlated assets, a key concept used in smart money trading strategies. It compares price action across two or more instruments to reveal hidden strength or weakness that may not be visible on a single chart.
Key Features:
Custom asset selection: Compare your main chart with any other TradingView symbol (e.g., BTC/USD vs. ETH/USD).
Real-time SMT divergence detection: Highlights potential bullish or bearish divergences when one asset makes a higher high/lower low while the other does not.
Visual markers: Plots intuitive visual cues directly on the chart to signal divergence.
Configurable timeframes: Use on any timeframe for both intraday and swing trading setups.
How to Use:
Select your base symbol (e.g., BTCUSD) on the chart.
In the indicator settings, choose a comparison symbol (e.g., ETHUSD).
Look for divergence signals:
Bearish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a higher high, comparison symbol fails to make a higher high → possible sell signal.
Bullish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a lower low, comparison symbol fails to make a lower low → possible buy signal.
This tool is ideal for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts or anyone interested in identifying smart money manipulation and market inefficiencies.
MirPapa:ICT:HTF: FVG OB Threeple# MirPapa:ICT:HTF: FVG OB (Fair Value Gap Order Block)
**Version:** Pine Script® v6

## Overview
“FVG OB” (Fair Value Gap Order Block) identifies higher-timeframe candle ranges where a gap (imbalance) exists between two non-consecutive candles, signaling potential institutional order blocks. This module draws bullish or bearish FVG OB boxes on your lower-timeframe chart, extends them until price interacts a specified number of times, and then finalizes (recolors) the box.
---
## Inputs
- **Enable FVG OB Boxes** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of HTF FVG OB boxes on the chart.
- **Enable FVG OB Midlines** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of a midpoint line inside each FVG OB box.
- **FVG OB Close Count** (`int` 1–10)
Number of HTF closes beyond the FVG range required to finalize (recolor) the box.
- **FVG OB Bull Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bullish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Bear Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bearish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Box Transparency** (`int` 1–100)
Opacity level for FVG OB box fills (higher = more transparent).
---
## How It Works
1. **HTF Data Retrieval**
- The script uses `request.security()` (via `GetHTFrevised()`) to fetch HTF OHLC and historical values:
- `_htfHigh3` (high three bars ago) and `_htfLow1` (low one bar ago) for bullish FVG OB.
- `_htfLow3` (low three bars ago) and `_htfHigh1` (high one bar ago) for bearish FVG OB.
- It also tracks the HTF `bar_index` on the lower timeframe to align drawing.
2. **FVG OB Detection**
- **Bullish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF low of the previous bar (`low `) is strictly above the HTF high of three bars ago (`high `), creating a gap.
- **Bearish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF high of the previous bar (`high `) is strictly below the HTF low of three bars ago (`low `), creating a gap.
3. **Box Creation**
- On each new HTF bar (`ta.change(time(HTF)) != 0`), if a bullish or bearish FVG OB condition is met, the script calls `CreateBoxData()` with:
- **Bullish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = true`.
- **Bearish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = false`.
- Midline toggled by input.
- A `BoxData` struct is created and stored in either the Bull or Bear array.
4. **Box Extension & Finalization**
- On **every LTF bar**, `ProcessBoxDatas(...)` iterates over all active FVG OB boxes:
1. **Extend Right Edge**: `box.set_right(bar_index)` ensures the box follows the latest bar.
2. **Record Volume Delta**: Tracks buy/sell volume inside the box.
3. **Touch Stage Update**: `modBoxUpdateStage()` increments `_stage` when price touches its “basePoint” (for FVG OB, the basePrice is one side of the gap).
4. **Finalize**: `setBoxFinalize()` checks if the configured number of closes beyond the FVG gap (`FVG OB Close Count`) has occurred. If so:
- `_isActive := false`
- Border and background colors are changed to the “Box Close Color” (input).
- Finalized boxes remain on screen semi-transparent, indicating that the FVG OB zone has been tested.
5. **Midline (Optional)**
- If “Enable FVG OB Midlines” is checked, `ProcessBoxDatas()` also extends a horizontal midpoint line inside the box with `line.set_x2(bar_index)`.
---
## Usage Instructions
1. **Installation**
- Copy the FVG OB section of the Pine Script into TradingView’s Pine Editor (ensure the library import is included).
- Click “Add to Chart.”
2. **Configure Inputs**
- Choose a Higher Time Frame via the dropdown (e.g., “4시간” maps to a 4H timeframe).
- Toggle “Enable FVG OB Boxes” and “Enable FVG OB Midlines.”
- Select colors for bullish and bearish boxes and set transparency.
- Adjust “FVG OB Close Count” to control how many closes beyond the gap finalize the box.
3. **Interpretation**
- **Active FVG OB Boxes** extend to the right until price closes beyond the gap range the specified number of times.
- When finalized, each box changes to the “Box Close Color,” signaling that institutional orders in that gap have likely been filled.
Enjoy precise visualization of higher-timeframe Fair Value Gap Order Blocks on your lower-timeframe chart!
