VWAP with Prev. Session BandsVWAP with Prev. Session Bands is an advanced indicator based on TradingView’s original VWAP. It adds configurable standard deviation or percentage-based bands, both for the current and previous session. You can anchor the VWAP to various timeframes or events (like Sessions, Weeks, Months, Earnings, etc.) and selectively show up to three bands.
The unique feature of this script is the ability to display the VWAP and bands from the previous session, helping traders visualize mean reversion levels or historical volatility ranges.
Built on top of the official TradingView VWAP implementation, this version provides enhanced flexibility and visual clarity for intraday and swing traders alike.
Multitimeframe
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).
Important Notes
⚠️ This is not a standalone trading system. It’s a tool to help spot possible reversal areas. Always confirm with price action, support/resistance, or your own strategy

Fair Value Gap MTF [by Oberlunar]Fair Value Gap MTF is a multi-timeframe indicator designed to detect and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across up to five customizable timeframes. Fair Value Gaps are price inefficiencies—zones where the market moved too quickly, leaving unfilled areas between candles. These gaps are often used by traders as reference points for future price retracements, as they tend to be revisited or “mitigated” over time.
This indicator extends the traditional FVG concept by introducing dynamic multi-timeframe tracking. Each timeframe has its own visual layer, with distinct user-defined colors for bullish and bearish gaps. The script not only highlights newly formed FVGs but also updates them visually when they are touched by price. Mitigated FVGs are recolored in real time, and an optional setting allows the size of these zones to shrink progressively, reflecting only the remaining untested portion.
Labels at the center of each box display the originating timeframe, offering clear visual context. All calculations are properly aligned with the display chart, ensuring that each FVG is correctly projected into the current view, regardless of its timeframe of origin.
Fair Value Gaps often act as support or resistance levels. Bullish FVGs can serve as areas where price may find support, while bearish FVGs can signal potential resistance. When these zones are mitigated repeatedly, it typically reflects areas of institutional interest, liquidity pools, or zones of accumulation and distribution. Such behavior makes them particularly significant in breakout and reversal strategies.

Supply/Demand Market Structure (SMA Multi-Timeframe)Supply/Demand Based Market Structure
Structure + Order Blocks from Synthetic SMA Candles
Overview:
The SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure indicator combines market structure analysis with supply/demand logic, powered by SMA-based synthetic candles . Instead of relying on raw candle data, this tool generates smoothed higher-timeframe candles using simple moving averages to identify more stable zones and cleaner structure shifts.
It detects bullish and bearish breaks of structure (BoS) , highlights swing points like HH, HL, LH, LL , and plots institutional-style supply and demand zones formed from aggressive rallies or drops. The result is a precise and noise-filtered view of market intent, perfect for trend-following or smart money strategies.
How It Works:
- Synthetic candles are created using SMA of OHLC values on your selected timeframe (HTF).
- A bullish break occurs when price closes above the high of the last bearish synthetic candle.
- A bearish break occurs when price closes below the low of the last bullish synthetic candle.
- Upon break confirmation:
- A demand zone is drawn using the last bearish candle.
- A supply zone is drawn using the last bullish candle.
- Each zone is extended forward for a user-defined number of bars and optionally deleted upon mitigation.
- Zigzag-based internal structure connects valid swing points and classifies them as HH, HL, LH, LL , including Liquidity Sweeps (LS) .
- BoS levels are highlighted with lines that automatically reset when new structure forms.
Key Features:
- Synthetic SMA Candles : Smooth and reliable structure from average-based HTF candles
- Break Modes : Choose between raw HTF closes or SMA closes for break logic
- Custom Timeframe Selection : Analyze structure across any HTF you choose
- Dynamic Supply/Demand Zones : Auto-plot boxes from valid rallies/drops
- Mitigation Detection : Optionally fade or delete zones when price trades through
- Zigzag Structure Mapping : Automatically connect structural highs/lows
- BoS Detection : Real-time breakout of swing points with visual confirmation
- Smart Labels : Marks HH, HL, LH, LL, and LS directly on the chart
- Multi-timeframe Alert System : Notify for all structural changes, BoS, and new zones
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF and SMA Length for synthetic candle smoothing.
- Use SMA=1 for raw candles
- Select a Break Mode :
- Raw Close : Uses standard HTF close values
- SMA Close : Uses smoothed closes from SMA
- Watch for bullish or bearish breaks — zones are plotted when price confirms breakout structure.
- Use demand zones as long entry areas and supply zones as short setups on retests.
- Rely on internal shifts and zigzag swings to monitor structure continuity.
- Enable alerts for swing formations, BoS, and liquidity sweeps to trade hands-free.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart Money & ICT Models : Use synthetic demand/supply + BoS for mitigation or continuation plays
- Swing Trading : Align with higher timeframe structure and use zones for entry triggers
- Trend Trading : Confirm structure alignment and wait for pullbacks into zones
- Reversal Entries : Trade structure breaks when zones fail and a BoS confirms the shift
Customization Options:
- Timeframe input for custom HTF control
- SMA Length to adjust candle smoothing
- Zone Style : Control zone color, transparency, and duration
- Structure Display : Toggle swing labels and zigzag visuals
- Alert Mode : Choose between LTF, MTF, or HTF alerts
Summary:
SMA Supply/Demand Market Structure provides a clean, flexible view of price structure and institutional intent by fusing market structure with SMA-based synthetic candles. It’s ideal for anyone seeking reduced noise, visually guided entries, and rule-based trading based on structural shifts and real-time demand/supply dynamics.
Rally/Drop Market Structure (Multi-Timeframe)Rally/Drop Market Structure
Supply and Demand Zones from Bullish/Bearish Breaks
Overview:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator is a powerful price action tool that identifies key structural turning points in the market by detecting bullish and bearish breaks . After each confirmed break, it plots either a demand zone (following a bullish break or rally) or a supply zone (following a bearish break or drop). These zones represent institutional footprints — areas where price is likely to react due to imbalance or unfilled orders.
The indicator is based on synthetic higher timeframe (HTF) candles to provide a more stable and smoothed structural map, improving clarity and signal quality over raw candles.
How It Works:
- A bullish break is defined when price makes a higher high and a higher low (or closes above the previous high depending on your selected mode).
- A bearish break is defined when price makes a lower high and a lower low (or closes below the previous low).
- After a bullish break, the indicator plots a demand zone based on the low and high of the most recent bearish candle — representing where demand stepped in.
- After a bearish break, the indicator plots a supply zone from the most recent bullish candle — indicating where supply took control.
- Optional mitigation logic marks zones as mitigated (or deletes them) once price trades into the opposing side.
- Internal shift detection highlights swing highs and lows , labels structural points (HH, HL, LH, LL), and identifies potential liquidity sweeps .
Features:
- Dynamic plotting of rally-based demand zones and drop-based supply zones
- Toggle to use Highs/Lows or Close-based breaks for structure
- Support for LTF, MTF, and HTF analysis (with selectable timeframe)
- Zone mitigation logic with optional automatic cleanup
- Labeling of key swing points: HH , HL , LH , LL , and LS (Liquidity Sweep)
- Zigzag visualization for structure flow
- Alert-ready for internal shifts, BoS, and zone creation
- Separate styling options for BoS lines, internal shift shapes, and zone colors
How to Use:
- Set your desired HTF candle source (e.g., 1H or 4H) depending on your trading style.
- Use Highs/Lows mode for pure price action structure or Close mode for more conservative signals.
- Observe when a bullish break occurs — a demand zone will form where price previously dropped before rallying. Look for long opportunities if price revisits this zone.
- After a bearish break , a supply zone forms where the rally failed — use this to scout short entries on retests.
- Use BoS lines to confirm structure shifts and validate entry triggers or trend direction.
- Monitor mitigated zones for reduced reliability or avoid them completely by enabling automatic deletion.
- Use alerts to stay notified about key changes without watching the chart constantly.
Recommended Strategies:
- Smart money or ICT-style trading : identify institutional footprints and mitigation setups
- Reversal trading : catch price rejecting off unmitigated zones after structure break
- Trend continuation : enter in the direction of internal structure after pullbacks into zones
- Liquidity sweep confirmation : filter out false breaks using HH/LL with LS detection
Tips:
- Combine this indicator with a higher timeframe bias tool (e.g., moving average, higher timeframe market structure).
- For scalping, use tighter HTFs and reduce the zone duration.
- For swing trading, use larger HTFs (1H, 4H, Daily) and increase zone persistence.
Summary:
The Rally/Drop Market Structure indicator gives you an actionable framework for understanding price structure, market intent, and supply/demand imbalances. Whether you're looking for precision entries, trend confirmation, or smart money concepts, this tool helps simplify complex price behavior into clean, usable structure and zones.

DriftLine - Pivot Open Zones [SiDec]What is DriftLine?
DriftLine is your visual roadmap for navigating the markets — designed for both day traders and swing traders who want to understand where price truly matters.
It automatically plots the most meaningful price levels on your chart:
dOpen → today’s open
pdOpen → yesterday’s open
bpdOpen → two days ago
wOpen → this week’s open
mOpen → this month’s open
yOpen → this year’s open
These are not just lines — they are the milestones big traders, funds, and algos watch to measure bias, performance, and momentum across timeframes.
DriftLine also layers on:
Fib zones (50%, 61.8%, 78.6%) between today’s and yesterday’s opens — highlighting natural pullback or continuation areas.
Fade bands around monthly and yearly opens — showing where the market may be overextended, exhausted, or ripe for reversal.
Optional % distance labels — letting you instantly see how stretched or compressed price is relative to key opens.
How to Use DriftLine
1️⃣ Daily setups:
Trade with the daily bias (dOpen vs. pdOpen). Use the fib pocket as a pullback zone or continuation platform.
2️⃣ Weekly trends:
Watch wOpen breaks + retests — often the start of powerful multi-day moves.
3️⃣ Monthly & yearly pivots:
Treat mOpen and yOpen as heavyweight macro levels — they shape sentiment and direction.
4️⃣ Fade bands:
Spot reactions at the outer bands around mOpen and yOpen — these zones often mark where trends pause or reverse.
Why Are Daily Opens So Important?
Many traders overlook dOpen (today’s open), pdOpen (yesterday’s open) and bpdOpen (before previous daily open) — but they’re the heartbeat of intraday trading.
Here’s why they matter:
🔷 Above dOpen → bullish bias.
The market is paying more than it opened — intraday momentum leans long.
🔷 Below dOpen → bearish bias.
We’re under today’s open — cautious, risk-off, or short setups.
🔷 pdOpen/bpdOpen as magnet & target.
Even in strong trends, price often revisits yesterday’s open. It can act as support, resistance, or a key flip level.
🔷 The Fib pocket between dOpen and pdOpen.
The 50–78.6% zone is a dynamic battleground. Watch for price to bounce, reverse, or break through here.
In short:
dOpen and pdOpen are your intraday compass, showing you whether you’re trading with or against the day’s flow.
Why Are Monthly Opens So Powerful?
The monthly open (mOpen) is a macro anchor for institutional traders.
It answers:
✅ Are we green or red for the month?
✅ Are big funds defending long exposure, or trimming risk?
🔷 Above mOpen = bullish tone, momentum follows.
🔷 Below mOpen = caution, risk-off, defensive market.
You’ll often see sharp reactions at mOpen — even when lower timeframes look messy.
Aligning your intraday or swing trades with the monthly bias improves your edge dramatically.
Why Is the Yearly Open (yOpen) Critical?
The yearly open (yOpen) is the king of all opens — the most powerful macro line on the chart.
Big funds, asset managers, and long-term traders benchmark everything against yOpen:
🔷 Above yOpen → bullish year tone.
Funds are green on the year; dips are often bought aggressively.
🔷 Below yOpen → bearish year tone.
Caution dominates; rallies tend to be sold or fade.
🔷 Sharp reactions at yOpen.
Expect explosive moves or violent rejections when price approaches this level — it’s where macro players act.
And when price hits the fade bands around yOpen?
It's a prime territory for reversals or profit-taking.

JXMJXRS - Wick Rejection ZonesWick Rejection Zones indicator is designed to identify key price levels where strong rejections occur, typically marked by long wicks and small candle bodies. These zones often signal areas of supply and demand where price was forcefully rejected, making them useful for anticipating potential support or resistance.
The script detects bullish rejection zones when a candle shows a long lower wick, a small body near the top of the candle, and a close above the open. Conversely, bearish rejection zones are identified by long upper wicks, small bodies near the candle low, and a close below the open. This stricter version only highlights the most decisive rejections by enforcing wick dominance and body positioning filters.
When these conditions are met, the indicator draws a colored zone above or below the candle wick to visually represent the rejection area. These zones persist on the chart for a fixed number of bars, allowing traders to reference them for potential reaction levels.
Settings:
Zone Duration (Bars) allows you to control how long each rejection zone remains visible on the chart. A higher number keeps zones active for more bars, while a lower number removes them sooner.
Zone Transparency adjusts the visual opacity of the rejection zones. A lower value makes the zone more visible, while a higher value makes it more transparent.
Bullish Zone Color and Bearish Zone Color let you customize the colors used for bullish and bearish rejection zones, respectively.
This tool is particularly effective in volatile crypto markets where wicks often mark sharp reversals or failed breakout attempts. It can be used as a reference for entries, exits, or stop-loss placement depending on market context.
Essa's Sessions IndicatorOverview
This powerful tool is designed to visually map out the key trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York directly on your chart. By highlighting these periods and plotting their respective highs and lows, it helps you identify critical price levels, gauge market sentiment, and pinpoint potential breakout opportunities with ease.
What It Does
Visualizes Key Trading Sessions: Automatically draws colored backgrounds for the Asia, London, and New York sessions to show you exactly when the most important market activity is happening.
Plots Session Highs & Lows: Displays precise horizontal lines for the highest and lowest prices reached during each session, acting as key support and resistance levels.
Dual Timezone Mode: Easily switch between London (GMT/BST) and New York (EST/EDT) timezones with a single click. The indicator automatically adjusts all session times for you, ensuring accuracy no matter where you are.
Interactive & Informative Labels: Hover over any session high or low label to see a detailed tooltip containing:
The exact price level.
The session's price range (calculated in pips or points).
The total daily price range for broader context.

Simple, powerful, and highly informative, this indicator is an essential tool for traders looking to build strategies around session-based price action.
Premium/Discount with Candle Open stats [Herman]Premium/Discount with Stats
This indicator is designed to help traders identify and analyze premium/discount zones on any timeframe while automatically tracking statistics on price behavior relative to these zones. It is especially valuable for traders looking to structure entries, manage targets, and quantify market reactions to prior session ranges.
What it draws on the chart
✅ Range High and Low Lines
For each selected timeframe period (15min, 30min 1H, 4H, Daily), the indicator plots the high and low of the completed previous period.
These lines are color-coded dynamically based on sweep detection:
If the high was swept (price broke the previous high), the high line is marked as Premium.
If the low was swept, the low line is marked as Discount.
If both were swept or neither, it uses the default color settings.
✅ Midline
An optional midline at the 50% level of the previous period’s high-low range.
Helpful for mean-reversion traders or anyone watching for retests of equilibrium.
✅ Quartile Lines (25%–75%)
Optional additional lines at 25% and 75% of the previous range, helping traders visualize inner range subdivisions.
✅ Open Price Line
Marks the open price of the previous period as a horizontal reference.
✅ Background Fills
The region between low and midline is shaded with the Discount color.
The region between high and midline is shaded with the Premium color.
These optional fills help highlight the premium and discount zones visually.
✅ Current Incomplete Period Lines (optional)
You can choose to display provisional high, low, midline, quartiles, and open for the current forming period.
These update in real-time until the period closes.
Sweep Detection Logic
The indicator automatically tracks if the current period price sweeps above the previous period’s high or below the low.
A "sweep" is simply defined as price exceeding the previous high/low while tracking is active.
The sweep status affects the colors of the premium/discount lines, helping traders see potential liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
What it counts and tracks (Statistics)
The script automatically compiles statistics over time:
✅ Total Touches
Counts how many times the price in a new period touches either the previous period’s high or low.
A “touch” is registered once per side per period.
✅ Midline Returns
Counts how often, after touching the previous high/low, price returns to the previous period’s midline.
Gives you a measure of mean-reversion success.
✅ Open Returns
Similarly, tracks how often price returns to the previous period’s open after touching the previous high/low.
✅ Return Percentages
Displays the percentage of touches that result in a return to midline or open.
These percentages are calculated live on your chart and updated after each period closes.
✅ Stats Table
A customizable on-chart table summarizing all of these stats in real-time.
Helps traders evaluate the effectiveness of range-based trading setups over time.
How it Works (Technical details)
On each new bar, the script checks if a new period (as defined by your timeframe selection) has begun.
When a new period starts, the previous period’s high, low, open, midline, quartiles are recorded and drawn on the chart.
The script then “watches” the current period:
Updates provisional high and low.
Detects sweeps of previous highs/lows.
Tracks if price returns to the previous period’s midline or open after those sweeps.
Increments statistical counters if conditions are met.
Background fills and lines update dynamically based on real-time data.
Intended Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for:
✅ Identifying premium/discount zones for swing or intraday trades.
✅ Spotting liquidity sweeps and possible manipulation zones.
✅ Structuring trades with logical, data-driven target zones (midline, open).
✅ Quantifying the probability of mean-reversion moves after liquidity events.
✅ Developing and backtesting range-based trading models with live stats.
Highly Customizable
Choose any timeframe for defining the premium/discount range.
Toggle visibility of midline, quartiles, open line, current period preview.
Full control over colors, line styles, line widths, and background shading.
Optional real-time statistical table with total counts and return percentages.
Risk Distribution HistogramStatistical risk visualization and analysis tool for any ticker 📊
The Risk Distribution Histogram visualizes the statistical distribution of different risk metrics for any financial instrument. It converts risk data into histograms with quartile-based color coding, so that traders can understand their risk, tail-risks, exposure patterns and make data-driven decisions based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions.
The indicator supports multiple risk calculation methods, each designed for different aspects of market analysis, from general volatility assessment to tail risk analysis.
Risk Measurement Methods
Standard Deviation
Captures raw daily price volatility by measuring the dispersion of price movements. Ideal for understanding overall market conditions and timing volatility-based strategies.
Use case: Options trading and volatility analysis.
Average True Range (ATR)
Measures true range as a percentage of price, accounting for gaps and limit moves. Valuable for position sizing across different price levels.
Use case: Position sizing and stop-loss placement.
The chart above illustrates how ATR statistical distribution can be used by looking at the ATR % of price distribution. For example, 90% of the movements are below 5%.
Downside Deviation
Only considers negative price movements, making it ideal for checking downside risk and capital protection rather than capturing upside volatility.
Use case: Downside protection strategies and stop losses.
Drawdown Analysis
Tracks peak-to-trough declines, providing insight into maximum loss potential during different market conditions.
Use case: Risk management and capital preservation.
The chart above illustrates tale risk for the asset (TQQQ), showing that it is possible to have drawdowns higher than 20%.
Entropy-Based Risk (EVaR)
Uses information theory to quantify market uncertainty. Higher entropy values indicate more unpredictable price action, valuable for detecting regime changes.
Use case: Advanced risk modeling and tail-risk.
VIX Histogram
Incorporates the market's fear index directly into analysis, showing how current volatility expectations compare to historical patterns. The CAPITALCOM:VIX histogram is independent from the ticker on the chart.
Use case: Volatility trading and market timing.
Visual Features
The histogram uses quartile-based color coding that immediately shows where current risk levels stand relative to historical patterns:
Green (Q1): Low Risk (0-25th percentile)
Yellow (Q2): Medium-Low Risk (25-50th percentile)
Orange (Q3): Medium-High Risk (50-75th percentile)
Red (Q4): High Risk (75-100th percentile)
The data table provides detailed statistics, including:
Count Distribution: Historical observations in each bin
PMF: Percentage probability for each risk level
CDF: Cumulative probability up to each level
Current Risk Marker: Shows your current position in the distribution
Trading Applications
When current risk falls into upper quartiles (Q3 or Q4), it signals conditions are riskier than 50-75% of historical observations. This guides position sizing and portfolio adjustments.
Key applications:
Position sizing based on empirical risk distributions
Monitoring risk regime changes over time
Comparing risk patterns across timeframes
Risk distribution analysis improves trade timing by identifying when market conditions favor specific strategies.
Enter positions during low-risk periods (Q1)

JXMJXRS - Volume ShiftJXMJXRS - Volume Shift is a volume-based indicator designed to detect significant volume spikes that occur directly after periods of price compression. These moments often precede breakouts, traps, or liquidity events—especially in crypto markets. The indicator is optimized for use on low to mid-range timeframes such as 15-minute to 4-hour charts.
The logic is simple and effective: if current volume exceeds a dynamically calculated percentile of recent volume history, and recent price candles have shown a period of reduced movement (low body size), a signal is plotted below the candle. This helps filter out random volume surges and highlights moments that may reflect meaningful market participation.
How it works:
Volume Spike Detection
The indicator compares the current candle’s volume to a historical window. A volume spike is confirmed when the current volume exceeds the specified percentile (e.g., 80th percentile) of volume from the previous N candles.
Candle Body Compression
It calculates the average body size of recent candles (short-term) and compares it to a longer-term body average. If the short-term bodies are smaller by a configurable ratio, the price is considered compressed—suggesting low activity before the spike.
Signal Logic
When both conditions are met on the same candle, the indicator displays a “!” label below the bar. This does not indicate a buy or sell signal, but rather marks a moment worth observing for potential expansion in volatility.
Settings:
Volume Lookback:
The number of previous candles used to evaluate the volume percentile. A higher value makes the spike condition stricter.
Volume Percentile (0–100):
Sets the threshold for abnormal volume. For example, 80 means “current volume must be higher than 80% of the past X candles.”
Short-Term Body Avg:
Number of candles used to measure recent candle body size, representing the current price activity range.
Long-Term Body Avg:
Baseline window to calculate typical body size for comparison.
Compression Ratio:
The short-term body average must be less than this ratio times the long-term average to be considered compressed. Lower values increase the compression requirement.
This tool is designed to enhance market awareness by detecting moments of sudden volume expansion following quiet market conditions. It should be used in assist with your broader trading system or strategy.
Contrarian Market Structure BreakMarket Structure Break application was inspired and adapted from Market Structure Oscillator indicator developed by Lux Algo. So much credit to their work.
This indicator pairs nicely with the Contrarian 100 MA and can be located here:
Indicator Description: Contrarian Market Structure BreakOverview
The "Contrarian Market Structure Break" indicator is a versatile tool tailored for traders seeking to identify potential reversal opportunities by analyzing market structure across multiple timeframes. Built on Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT), this indicator detects Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) patterns across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term swings, plotting them with customizable lines and labels. It generates contrarian buy and sell signals when price breaks key swing levels, with a unique "Blue Dot Tracker" to monitor consecutive buy signals for trend confirmation. Optimized for the daily timeframe, this indicator is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing, making it ideal for traders of forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
The indicator combines three key components to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics: Multi-Timeframe Market Structure Analysis: It identifies swing highs and lows across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term periods, plotting BOS (continuation) and CHoCH (reversal) events with customizable line styles and labels.
Contrarian Signal Generation: Buy and sell signals are triggered when the price crosses below swing lows (buy) or above swing highs (sell), indicating potential reversals in overextended markets.
Blue Dot Tracker: A unique feature that counts consecutive buy signals ("blue dots") and highlights a "Hold Investment" state with a yellow background when three or more buy signals occur, suggesting a potential trend continuation.
Signals are visualized as small circles below (buy) or above (sell) price bars, and a table in the bottom-right corner displays the blue dot count and recommended action (Hold or Flip Investment), enhancing decision-making clarity.
Mathematical Concepts Swing Detection: The indicator identifies swing highs and lows by comparing price patterns over three bars, ensuring robust detection of pivot points. A swing high occurs when the middle bar’s high is higher than the surrounding bars, and a swing low occurs when the middle bar’s low is lower.
Market Structure Logic: BOS is detected when the price breaks a prior swing high (bullish) or low (bearish) in the direction of the current trend, while CHoCH signals a potential reversal when the price breaks a swing level against the trend. These are calculated across three timeframes for a multi-dimensional perspective.
Blue Dot Tracker: This feature counts consecutive buy signals and tracks the entry price. If three or more buy signals occur without a sell signal, the indicator enters a "Hold Investment" state, marked by a yellow background, until the price exceeds the entry price or a sell signal occurs.
Entry and Exit Rules Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price crosses below a swing low on either the intermediate-term or long-term timeframe, suggesting an oversold condition and potential reversal upward. Short-term signals can be enabled but are disabled by default to reduce noise.
Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price crosses above a swing high on either the intermediate-term or long-term timeframe, indicating an overbought condition and potential reversal downward.
Blue Dot Tracker Logic: After a buy signal, the indicator increments a blue dot counter and records the entry price. If three or more consecutive buy signals occur (blueDotCount ≥ 3), the indicator enters a "Hold Investment" state, highlighted with a yellow background, suggesting a potential trend continuation. The "Hold Investment" state ends when the price exceeds the entry price or a sell signal occurs, resetting the counter.
Exit Rules: Traders can exit buy positions when a sell signal appears, the price exceeds the entry price during a "Hold Investment" state, or based on additional confirmation from BOS/CHoCH patterns or other technical analysis tools. Always use proper risk management.
Recommended Usage
The indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it effectively captures significant reversal and continuation patterns in trending or ranging markets. It can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with careful testing of settings, particularly enabling/disabling short-term structure analysis to suit market conditions. Backtesting is recommended to optimize performance for your chosen asset and timeframe.
Customization Options Market Structure Display: Toggle short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term structures on or off, with customizable line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) and colors for bullish and bearish breaks.
Labels: Enable or disable BOS/CHoCH labels for each timeframe to reduce chart clutter.

Absorption DetectorABSORPTION DETECTOR -
The Absorption Detector identifies institutional order flow by detecting "absorption" patterns where smart money quietly accumulates or distributes positions by absorbing retail order flow. This creates high-probability support and resistance zones for trading. This is an approximation only and does not read any footprint data.
WHAT IS ABSORPTION?
Absorption occurs when institutions take the opposite side of retail trades, creating specific candlestick patterns with high volume and significant wicks. The indicator identifies two main patterns:
SELLING ABSORPTION (P-Pattern): Red zones above candles where institutions sell into retail buying pressure, creating resistance levels. Look for high volume candles with large upper wicks that close in the lower half.
BUYING ABSORPTION (B-Pattern): Green zones below candles where institutions buy from retail selling pressure, creating support levels. Look for high volume candles with large lower wicks that close in the upper half.
KEY FEATURES
- Automatic detection of institutional absorption patterns
- Dynamic support and resistance zone creation
- Customizable styling for all visual elements
- Historic zone display for backtesting analysis
- Strength-based filtering to show only high-probability setups
- Real-time alerts for new absorption patterns
- Professional info panel with key statistics
- Multi-timeframe compatibility
MAIN SETTINGS
Volume Threshold (1.2): Minimum volume surge required compared to average. Higher values = fewer but stronger signals.
Minimum Volume (2500): Absolute volume floor to prevent signals during low-volume periods.
Min Wick Size (0.2): Minimum wick size as ATR multiple. Ensures significant rejection occurred.
Minimum Strength (1.5): Combined volume and wick strength filter. Higher values = higher quality signals.
Show Historic Zones (OFF): Enable to see all historical zones for backtesting. Disable for better performance.
Zone Extension (20): How many bars to project zones forward for anticipating future reactions.
TRADING APPROACH
ZONE REACTION STRATEGY: Wait for price to approach absorption zones and trade the bounce or rejection. Use the zones as dynamic support and resistance levels.
BREAKOUT STRATEGY: Trade decisive breaks of strong absorption zones with proper risk management. Failed zones often lead to strong moves.
CONFLUENCE TRADING: Combine absorption zones with other technical analysis for highest probability setups. Look for alignment with trend lines, Fibonacci levels, and key support/resistance.
RISK MANAGEMENT: Always use stop losses beyond the absorption zones. Target minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratios. Position size appropriately based on zone strength.
OPTIMIZATION GUIDE
For Conservative Trading (fewer, higher quality signals):
- Volume Threshold: 1.5
- Minimum Strength: 2.0
- Min Wick Size: 0.3
For Aggressive Trading (more signals, requires careful filtering):
- Volume Threshold: 1.1
- Minimum Strength: 1.0
- Min Wick Size: 0.15
BEST PRACTICES
Markets: Works best on liquid instruments with good volume - major forex pairs, popular stocks, liquid futures, and established cryptocurrencies.
Timeframes: Effective on all timeframes from 1-minute scalping to daily swing trading. Adjust settings based on your timeframe and trading style.
Confirmation: Never trade absorption signals in isolation. Always combine with trend analysis, market structure, and proper risk management.
Session Timing: Be aware of market sessions and avoid trading during low liquidity periods or major news events.
Backtesting: Use the historic zones feature to validate performance on your chosen market and timeframe before live trading.
CUSTOMIZATION
The indicator offers complete visual customization including zone colors, border styles, label appearances, and info panel positioning. All colors can be adapted to match your chart theme and personal preferences.
Alert system provides both basic and custom message alerts for real-time notifications of new absorption patterns.
PERFORMANCE NOTES
Default settings are optimized for most markets and timeframes. For best performance on older charts, keep "Show Historic Zones" disabled unless specifically backtesting.
The indicator maintains excellent performance even with extensive historical analysis enabled, handling up to 500 zones and 100 labels for comprehensive backtesting.
JXMJXRS - Mean Reversion Bands ToolThis indicator highlights when price is likely overextended and may revert back toward its average. It does this by plotting a central mean (EMA, SMA, or VWAP) with dynamic bands based on either standard deviation or ATR. These bands help show how far price has moved from normal levels.
When price moves beyond the outer bands, the background highlights in red or green to signal possible exhaustion. An optional setting allows the highlight to trigger only if the full candle body breaks beyond the band, helping reduce noise from small spikes or wicks.
The inner bands show more moderate overextensions, while the outer bands focus on stronger, less frequent moves. This makes the tool useful in both ranging and trending environments.
The indicator also includes a hidden oscillator that measures how far price is from the mean in standardized units. It stays off by default but can be enabled by advanced users if needed.
This tool works best on higher timeframes, such as the daily chart. It is not a buy or sell signal, but a way to add context and filter low-quality setups by focusing only on significant price extensions.
A red background appears when price closes significantly above the upper volatility band. This suggests that price is stretched far above its normal range and may be entering an overbought or exhausted state. A green background appears when price closes significantly below the lower volatility band, indicating a potential oversold condition. These zones highlight areas where a price reversion or slowdown may be more likely based on statistical extremes.
Auto LevelsSimple auto level tracker that automatically detects and plots the high/low for the current week, day, and month, as well as the previous week/day/month.
Includes a built-in dashboard that shows how close or far price is from each level, along with directional guidance (above/below). The closest level to current price is automatically highlighted for quick awareness.
Everything is fully toggleable to only show the levels and info that is needed.
Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator📌 Indicator Name: Candle Range Theory (CRT) indicator
This indicator detects potential bullish and bearish reversal setups based on specific candlestick price action behavior. It is designed to highlight moments when the market may be rejecting extremes and preparing to reverse direction — but only after confirmation with the closing price.
🔍 How It Works:
Bullish Setup (Long Signal):
The previous candle is bearish (closes lower than it opens).
The current candle makes a lower low than the previous one.
The current candle closes above the previous candle’s close.
Bearish Setup (Short Signal):
The previous candle is bullish (closes higher than it opens).
The current candle makes a higher high than the previous one.
The current candle closes below the previous candle’s close.
Signals are only triggered after the bar is fully closed, to avoid premature entries.
🔔 The script includes alert conditions for both long and short setups so you can receive notifications instantly.
🎥 Inspiration:
The idea for this indicator came from the excellent educational content presented in this video:

HTF Candle Extremes Zigzag (Drawn on LTF)HTF Candle Extremes Zigzag (Drawn on LTF)
This indicator plots zigzag lines connecting the extremes (highs and lows) of Higher Timeframe (HTF) candles directly on your lower timeframe (LTF) chart. It visually highlights trend changes and HTF candle structure by drawing colored lines representing uptrends and downtrends based on HTF candle extremes.
"Key Features"
Higher Timeframe Tracking: Select any HTF to track candle extremes using the built-in security function.
Zigzag Lines: Connects HTF candle lows to highs in an intuitive zigzag pattern.
Trend Indication: Uptrend lines are green, downtrend lines are red (customizable colors).
Customizable Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the zigzag lines for better visibility.
Drawn on Lower Timeframe: All lines appear on your active lower timeframe chart, allowing easy visual correlation.
"How It Works"
The script fetches the open, high, low, close, and time data of the specified HTF candle. It detects new HTF bars and identifies trend direction changes by comparing the highs and lows of consecutive HTF candles.
- When an uptrend is detected, vertical lines are drawn from low to high of the HTF candle, connected to the previous extreme low.
- When a downtrend is detected, vertical lines are drawn from high to low, connected to the previous extreme high.
- Transitions between trends are highlighted by connecting the last extreme of the previous trend to the current extreme, creating a clean zigzag pattern.
Usage Notes:
Ideal for traders who want to visualize HTF market structure and trend changes while analyzing price action on lower timeframes.

JXMJXRS - Anchor Bias ToolThe Anchor Bias Tool is a precision-based market structure tool designed to help traders visually quantify bias from any significant market event. Rather than relying on subjective trendlines or reactive signals, this tool lets you define a specific candle. Typically tied to a news event, breakout, or key swing point and then monitor how price behaves from that point forward.
You set an anchor candle using a specific date and time (UTC). The tool draws a horizontal anchor line at the closing price of that candle, calculates real-time price deviation from that level as a percentage, and then identifies whether price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral zone based on how far it has moved from the anchor. This creates a clear, objective method for assessing whether the market is following through on an event or fading it.
Anchor Time (UTC) -
Define the exact candle you want to anchor from typically a reaction to a news event, breakout, or structural shift. All bias calculations begin from this candle’s closing price.
Bias Threshold (%) -
Sets how far price must move away from the anchor to be considered a valid directional bias. For example, 2.0% means price must be at least 2% above or below the anchor to enter bullish or bearish territory.
Show Bias Zones -
Toggles visual background shading on the chart. Green represents bullish bias, red for bearish. Helping you quickly identify where the market stands relative to the anchor.
Show Bias Labels -
Enables or disables the live label showing current bias (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral) along with the real-time % deviation from the anchor level
Signalgo S&DSignalgo S&D
Signalgo S&D is a next-generation indicator designed for traders who want to harness the true power of supply and demand (S&D) in their trading decisions. Unlike traditional S&D indicators, it leverages proprietary multi-timeframe net volume analysis, trend confirmation, and adaptive trade management.
How Signalgo S&D Works
Multi-Timeframe Net Volume Analysis
Net Volume Calculation: At the heart of Signalgo S&D is a unique net volume engine. It doesn’t just look at price or raw volume, but calculates a net volume value for each bar, factoring in both price movement and the true range of the candle. This is done across multiple timeframes—from 1 minute to 3 months—giving a layered, real-time view of market pressure.
Trend Measurement: The indicator tracks changes in net volume over a customizable trend length, identifying when buying or selling pressure is truly shifting.
Intelligent Signal Generation
Directional Shifts: Buy and sell signals are only considered when net volume flips from negative to positive (or vice versa) and the net volume trend confirms the move.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation: Strong signals require agreement across several timeframes, filtering out noise and dramatically increasing reliability.
Volume & Momentum Filters: Each signal is further filtered using volume spikes, EMA alignment, and RSI momentum, ensuring that only high-quality, high-probability setups are flagged.
One-Time Event Detection: Signals are triggered only once per event, preventing repeated entries on the same move.
Adaptive Trade Management
Automated Entry/Exit Logic: Every trade signal is paired with a fully automated take-profit (TP), stop-loss (SL), and trailing stop system, all dynamically adjusted to current volatility.
Risk-Reward Scaling: Three profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) allow for scaling out or partial exits, while trailing stops lock in gains as the trade progresses.
Visual Feedback: All trade events—entries, exits, TPs, SLs—are clearly marked on the chart for transparency and review.
Inputs & User Controls
Preset Parameters:
Trend Length: Controls how sensitive net volume trend detection is.
Show Labels/Table: Visual toggles for displaying signal and trade management information.
Trade Management:
Show TP/SL Logic: Toggle to display or hide trade management levels.
ATR Length & Multipliers: Fine-tune how SL and TP levels adapt to market volatility.
Enable Trailing Stop: Activate or deactivate dynamic stop movement after TP1.
Entry & Exit Strategy
Entry Logic
Long (Buy) Entry: Triggered when net volume flips positive across multiple timeframes, the trend confirms, and all momentum/volume filters align.
Short (Sell) Entry: Triggered when net volume flips negative across multiple timeframes, with trend and momentum confirmation.
Exit & Trade Management
Stop Loss (SL): Automatically set based on recent volatility (ATR), adapting to the current market environment.
Take Profits (TP1, TP2, TP3): Three profit targets at increasing reward multiples, allowing for flexible trade management.
Trailing Stop: After TP1 is hit, the stop loss moves to breakeven and a trailing stop is activated to lock in further gains.
Event Markers: Each time a TP or SL is hit, a visual label is placed on the chart for full transparency.
Multi-Timeframe Synchronization: Instead of focusing on a single timeframe, this indicator requires confirmation across several, providing a market-wide perspective and filtering out false signals.
Dynamic, Adaptive Management: The built-in TP/SL and trailing logic is not static—it adapts to volatility and market conditions, providing a disciplined, automated approach to exits and risk.
Event-Driven, Not Static: Signals are only generated when all conditions align, and each event is marked only once, eliminating repetitive or redundant signals.
Advanced Filtering: Signals are filtered by volume spikes, EMA and RSI momentum, and trend alignment, ensuring only the highest-quality trades are considered.
Visual & Alert Integration: Every signal and trade event is visually marked and can trigger TradingView alerts, keeping you informed in real time.
Trading Strategy Application
Versatility: Suitable for scalping, day trading, swing trading, and even longer-term positions thanks to its multi-timeframe logic.
Systematic Execution: By automating entries, exits, and risk management, Signalgo S&D helps you trade with discipline and confidence, minimizing emotional bias.
Noise Reduction: The advanced, layered filtering logic means you only see the highest-probability setups, helping you avoid common S&D “fakeouts” and overtrading.
Dynamic Fib 61.8Dynamic Fib 61.8 Indicator – Full Guide
1. Overview
This indicator plots a dynamic 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, adjusted for market volatility and smoothed using an EMA for cleaner signals. Unlike traditional static Fib levels, this version auto-adjusts based on recent price swings, making it more responsive to changing market conditions.
Key Features:
✅ Auto-Adjusting 61.8% Fib Level – Adapts to the highest high/lowest low over a user-defined period.
✅ EMA Smoothing – Reduces noise for more reliable support/resistance.
✅ Breakout Alerts – Built-in alerts for when price crosses the Fib level.
✅ Inverse Chart Support – Works on both regular and inverse price scales.
2. How to Use This Indicator
Primary Use Case:
Trend Retracement Entry: The 61.8% level often acts as a reversal zone in trending markets.
Breakout Confirmation: A decisive close above/below the smoothed Fib level suggests trend continuation.
Support/Resistance Flip: Watch for price reactions at this level for intraday/swing trades.
Input Parameters:
Input Default Description
Lookback Period 52 Determines how far back the highest high/lowest low is calculated. Higher = slower reaction, lower = more sensitive.
EMA Smoothing 3 Controls how much the Fib level is smoothed (higher = smoother but laggier).
Invert Price Scale Off Flips the calculation for inverse charts (e.g., for crypto perpetuals).
3. Interpretation & Trading Rules
Bullish Scenario (Buy Dips):
Price retraces to the smoothed Fib 61.8 level in an uptrend.
Confirmation: Wait for bullish candlestick patterns (hammer, engulfing) or RSI > 50.
Entry: Long on a bounce, stop-loss below recent swing low.
Bearish Scenario (Sell Rallies):
Price retraces to the smoothed Fib 61.8 level in a downtrend.
Confirmation: Bearish rejection (shooting star, bearish engulfing) or RSI < 50.
Entry: Short on rejection, stop-loss above recent swing high.
Breakout Trading:
If price closes decisively above/below the smoothed Fib level, it may signal trend continuation.
Volume & Momentum Confirmation: Use with MACD/RSI for stronger signals.
4. Best Confluence Indicators
This indicator works best when combined with:
A. Momentum Oscillators
RSI (14):
Look for oversold (RSI < 30) near Fib support in uptrends.
Look for overbought (RSI > 70) near Fib resistance in downtrends.
MACD:
Bullish: MACD crossing above signal line near Fib support.
Bearish: MACD crossing below signal line near Fib resistance.
B. Volume Analysis
Volume Spike + Fib Bounce = Strong Reversal Signal
Low Volume at Fib Retest = Potential Fakeout
C. Moving Averages
50 EMA/200 EMA Alignment:
If price is above 200 EMA and retests Fib 61.8, it’s a high-probability long.
If price is below 200 EMA and rejects Fib 61.8, it’s a high-probability short.
D. Price Action Patterns
Engulfing, Pin Bars, Inside Bars at the Fib level add confirmation.
5. Example Strategy
Setup:
Trend Identification – Price is above 200 EMA (uptrend).
Retracement to Smoothed Fib 61.8 – Price pulls back to the dynamic level.
Confirmation – Bullish hammer forms + RSI > 50.
Entry – Buy with stop below recent swing low.
Target – Previous high or 1.618 Fib extension.
6. Limitations & Adjustments
Choppy Markets: The Fib level may give false signals (use ATR filter).
Optimal Period Adjustment:
For day trading, reduce Lookback Period (e.g., 20-30).
For swing trading, increase (e.g., 50-100).
EMA Smoothing: If too slow, increase smoothing to 5-10.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is best used as a dynamic support/resistance tool rather than a standalone system. Combining it with momentum filters, volume, and price action significantly improves accuracy.
