ICT Essentials [LDT]ICT Essentials
Overview
ICT Essentials is an all-in-one trading utility built to create a natural and efficient workflow for ICT-based traders.
Every component has been designed to integrate seamlessly and update dynamically across timeframes.
The indicator focuses on clarity, performance and customization, allowing traders to tailor every part of their trading experience.
Equal Highs & Lows
This feature automatically detects and marks Equal Highs (EQH) and Equal Lows (EQL) with full control over visuals and behavior.
Users can customize line colors, widths, and styles, label size, color, background transparency and text offset.
The logic uses an optimized scanning and caching system that maintains smooth performance even on higher timeframes.
It provides a precise and adaptive way to identify structural liquidity points whilst keeping the chart clean and readable.
Killzones & Session Pivots
Plots the main trading sessions such as Asia, London and New York (AM, Lunch, PM) with full flexibility and styling options.
Each session can be enabled or disabled individually, with its own color, transparency and label preferences.
Session highs and lows are automatically tracked and plotted as pivots with extension modes like Until Mitigated or Past Mitigation.
This system gives traders the ability to organize market sessions exactly how they prefer whilst keeping the chart consistent and efficient.
Daily Pivots and Tier System
Alongside session pivots, the script tracks daily highs and lows to provide a broader structural view of price. These pivots are stored and displayed on the chart with their appearance updating automatically when price interacts with them.
The system includes a unique tier-based visibility filter that maintains a clean chart by preventing duplicate or overlapping pivots. Recent daily pivots are cached and compared to session pivots and when two levels fall within a defined proximity, the redundant one is automatically hidden. This creates a clear hierarchy of daily and session levels, keeping the most relevant structure visible whilst removing noise.
All aspects of the daily pivot system are fully customizable, including the number of tracked pivots, color, style settings and how mitigated levels are handled. The caching and filtering logic ensures smooth performance and a visually organized workspace even as the data updates in real time.
Key Times
Allows up to five custom key time markers such as the Midnight Open, 6:00 AM or 10:00 AM.
Each marker can be fully customized with its own text, color, line style and thickness.
This makes it simple to visualize key reaction points that align with each traders timing model.
Higher Timeframe Candles
Displays higher timeframe candles such as 1H, 4H or Daily directly on the active chart to provide context without switching views.
Users can customize body, wick and border colors, along with adding optional trace lines for the open, close, high and low and can also show the countdown timers for remaining candle time.
Adjustable spacing, positioning and label visibility makes the display blend naturally with any trading setup.
This module helps traders connect multiple timeframes visually in a clean and intuitive way.
Watermark
Adds a customizable watermark with title, subtitle and symbol or timeframe information.
Every element can be adjusted for color, size, transparency, alignment and position.
The result is a polished, professional chart layout that adapts to the user's personal style.
Optimization and Design
ICT Essentials is built for performance, using cached arrays and lightweight calculations to maintain responsiveness on all timeframes.
Each feature can be toggled individually to suit the traders focus or system performance.
The script delivers a fluid, customizable and highly optimized trading experience designed to feel natural and effortless in day-to-day use.

Pivot noktaları ve seviyeleri
GRG/RGR Signal, MA, Ranges and PivotsThis indicator is a combination of several indicators.
It is a combination of two of my indicators which I solely use for trading
1. EMA 10-20-50-200, Pivots and Previous Day/Week/Month range
2. 3/4-Bar GRG / RGR Pattern (Conditional 4th Candle)
You can use them individually if you already have some of them or just use this one. Belive me when I say, this is all you need, along with market structure knowlege and even if you don’t have that, this indicator has been doing wonders for me. This is all I use. I do not use anything else.
**Note - Do checkout the indicators individually as I have added valuable information in the comment section.
It contains the following,
1. 10 EMA/SMA - configurable
2. 20 EMA/SMA - configurable
3. 50 EMA/SMA - configurable
4. 200 EMA/SMA - configurable
5. Previous Day's Range
6. Previous Week's Range
7. Previous Month's Range
8. Pivots
9. Buy Sell Signal
The Moving Averages
It is a very important combination and using it correctly with price action will strengthen your entries and exits.
The ema's or sma's added are the most powerful ones and they do definitely act as support and resistance.
The Daily/Weekly/Monthly Ranges
The Daily/Weekly/Monthly ranges are extremely important for any trader and should be used for targets and reversals.
Pivots
Pivots can provide support and resistance level. R5 and S5 can be used to check for over stretched conditions. You can customise them however you like. It is a full pivot indicator.
It is defaulted to show R5 and S5 only to reduce noise in the chart but it can be customised.
The 3/4 RGR or GRG Signal Generator
Combined with a 3/4 RGR or GRG setup can be all a trader needs.
You don't need complex strategies and SMC concepts to trade. Simple EMAs, ranges and RGR/GRG setup is the most winning combination.
This indicator can be used to identify the Green-Red-Green or Red-Green-Red pattern.
It is a price action indicator where a price action which identifies the defeat of buyers and sellers.
If the buyers comprehensively defeat the sellers then the price moves up and if the sellers defeat the buyers then the price moves down.
In my trading experience this is what defines the price movement.
It is a 3 or 4 candle pattern, beyond that i.e, 5 or more candles could mean a very sideways market and unnecessary signal generation.
How does it work?
Upside/Green signal
1. Say candle 1 is Green, which means buyers stepped in, then candle 2 is Red or a Doji, that means sellers brought the price down. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Green and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle, then a green arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
2. Here the buyers defeated the sellers.
3. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
4. Important - We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves above the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close. Ignore wicks.
5. But for a more optimised entry I have added an option to use candle’s highs and lows instead of open and close. This reduces lot of noise and provides us with more precise entry. This setting is turned on by default.
6. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
7. I call it the +-+ or GRG pattern or Green-Red-Green or Buyer-Seller-Buyer or Seller defeated or just Buyer pattern.
8. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders (that includes me) or candle 2's body low for risky traders.
9. Back testing suggests that body low will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Downside/Red signal
1. Say candle 1 is Red, which means sellers stepped in, then candle 2 is Green or a Doji, that means buyers took the price up. Then if candle 3 is forming to be Red and breaks the closing of the 1st candle and opening of the 2nd candle then a Red arrow will appear and that is the place where you want to take your trade.
2. Sometimes candle 3 falls short but candle 4 breaks candle 1's closing and candle 2's opening price. We can enter on candle 4.
3. We need to enter the trade as soon as the price moves below the candle 1 and 2's body and should not wait for the 3rd or 4th candle to close.
4. But for a more optimised entry I have added an option to use candle’s highs and lows instead of open and close. This reduces lot of noise and provides us with more precise entry. This setting is turned on by default.
5. I have restricted it to 4 candles and that is all that is needed. More than that is a longer sideways market.
6. I call it the -+- or RGR pattern or Red-Green-Red or Seller-Buyer-Seller or Buyer defeated or just Seller pattern.
7. Stop loss can be candle 2's mid for safe traders ( that includes me) or candle 2's body high for risky traders.
8. Back testing suggests that body high will be useless and result in more points in loss because for the bigger move this point will not be touched, so why not get out faster.
Important Settings
1. Include 4th Candle Confirmation - You can enable or disable the 4th candle signal to avoid the noise, but at times I have noticed that the 4th candle gives a very strong signal or I can say that the strong signal falls on the 4th candle. This is mostly a coincidence.
2. Bars to check (default 10) - You can also configure how many previous bars should the signal be generated for. 10 to 30 is good enough. To backtest increase it to 2000 or 5000 for example.
3. Use Candle High/Low for confirmation instead of Candle Open/Close - More optimized entry and noise reduction. This option is now defaulted to false.
4. Show Green-Red-Green (bull) signals - Show only bull entries. Useful when I have a predefined view i.e, I know market is going to go up today.
5. Show Red-Green-Red (bear) signals - Show only bear entries. Useful when I have a predefined view i.e, I know market is going to go down today.
6. 3rd candle should be a Strong candle before considering 4th candle - This will enforce additional logic in 4 candle setup that the 3rd candle is the candle in our direction of breakout. This means something like GRGG is mandatory, which is still the default behaviour. If disabled, the 3rd candle can be any candle and 4th candle will act as our breakout candle. This behaviour has led to breakouts and breakdowns as times, hence I added this as a separate feature. Vice-versa for a RGGR.
For a 4 candle setup till now we were expecting GRGG or RGRR but we can let the system ignore the 3rd candle completely if needed.
This will result in additional signals.
7. Three intraday ranges added for index and stock traders - 1 min, 5 min and 15 min ranges will be displayed. These are disabled by default except 15 min. These are very important ranges and in sideways days the price will usually move within the 15 min. A breakout of this range and a positive signal can be a very powerful setup.
Safe traders can avoid taking a trade in this range as it can lead to fakeouts.
The line style, width, color and opacity are configurable.
Pointers/Golden Rules
1. If after taking the trade, the next candle moves in your direction and closes strong bullish or bearish, then move SL to break even and after that you can trail it.
2. If a upside trade hits SL and immediately a down side trade signal is generated on the next candle then take it. Vice versa is true.
3. Trades need to be taken on previous 2 candle's body high or low combined and not the wicks.
4. The most losses a trader takes is on a sideways day and because in our strategy the stop loss is so small that even on a sideways day we'll get out with a little profit or worst break even.
5. Hold trades for longer targets and don't panic.
6. If last 3-4 days have been sideways then there is a good probability that today will be trending so we can hold our trade for longer targets. Inverse is true when the market has been trending for 2-3 days then volatility followed by sideways is coming (DOW theory). Target to hold the trade for whole day and not exit till the day closes.
7. In general avoid trading in the middle of the day for index and stocks. Divide the day into 3 parts and avoid the middle.
8. Use Support/Resistance, 10, 20, 50, 200 EMA/SMA, Gaps, Whole/Round numbers(very imp) for identifying targets.
9. Trail your SL.
10. For indexes I would use 5 min and 15 min timeframe and at times 10 mins.
11. For commodities and crypto we can use higher timeframe as well. Look for signals during volatile time durations and avoid trading the whole day. Signal usually gives good targets on those times.
12. If a GRG or RGR pattern appears on a daily timeframe then this is our time to go big.
13. Minimum Risk to Reward should be 1:2 and for longer targets can be 1:4 to 1:10.
14. Trade with small lot size. Money management will happen automatically.
15. With small lot size and correct Risk-Reward we can be very profitable. Don't trade with big lot size.
16. Stay in the market for longer and collect points not money.
17. Very imp - Watch market and learn to generate a market view.
18. Very imp - Only 3 type of candles are needed in trading -
Strong Bullish (Big Green candle), Strong Bearish (Big Red candle),
Hammer (it is Strong Bullish), Inverse Hammer (it is Strong Bearish)
and Doji (indecision or confusion).
If on daily timeframe I see Strong Bullish candle previous day then I am biased to the upside the next day, if I see Strong Bearish candle the previous day then I am biased to the downside the next day, if I see Doji on the previous day then I am cautious the next day, if there are back to back Dojis forming in daily or weekly then I am preparing for big move so time to go big once I get the signal.
19. Most Important Candlestick pattern - Bullish and Bearish Engulfing
20. The only Chart patterns I need -
a) Falling Wedge Bullish Pattern Uptrend or Bull Flag - Buying - Forming over a couple days for intraday and forming over a couple of weeks for swing
b) Falling Wedge Bullish Pattern Downtrend or Falling Channel - Buying
c) Rising Wedge Bearish Pattern Uptrend or Rising Channel - Selling
d) Rising Wedge Bearish Pattern Downtrend or Bear flag - Selling
e) M and W pattern - Reversal Patterns - They form within the above 4 patterns, usually resulting in the break of trend line
21. How Gaps work -
a) Small Gap up in Uptrend - Market can fill the gap and reverse. The perception is that people are buying. If previous day candle was Strong Bullish then market view is up.
b) Big Gap up in Uptrend - Not news driven - Profit booking will come but may not fill the entire gap
c) Big Gap up in Uptrend - News driven, war related, tax, interest rate - Market can keep going up without stopping.
c) Flat opening in Uptrend - Big chance of market going up. If previous day candle was Strong Bullish then view is upwards, if it was Doji then still upwards.
d) Gap down in Uptrend - Market is surprised. After going down initially it can go up
e) Small Gap down in Downtrend - Market can fill the gap and keep moving down. If previous day candle was Strong Bearish then view is still down.
f) Flat opening in Downtrend - View is down, short today.
g) Big Gap down in Downtrend - Profit booking and foolish buying will come but market view is still down.
h) Gap down with News - Volatility, sideways then down.
22. Go big on bearish days for option traders. Puts are better bought and Calls are better sold.
23. Cluster of green signals can lead to bigger move on the upside and vice versa for red signals.
24. Most of this is what I learned from successful traders (from the top 2%) only the indicator is mine.

Round Numbers (Plotter) v2The *Round Numbers (Plotter) v2* indicator highlights key psychological price levels on the chart — the so-called *round numbers* (e.g. 1.1000 on EURUSD or23,000 on NASDAQ).
These levels often act as **natural support or resistance zones**, where price tends to react, consolidate, or reverse.
Version 2 introduces the concept of **gravitational zones**, which define a price range surrounding each round level — visualizing how price “gravitates” around these equilibrium areas.
---
### 🧩 **Main Features**
* 🔹 **Dynamic round levels:** plotted automatically based on user-defined *step size* (in points or pips).
* 🔹 **Custom step mode:** switch between “Points” (for indices, commodities, crypto) and “Pips” (for Forex pairs).
* 🔹 **Configurable appearance:** color, width, and line style (solid, dashed, dotted).
* 🔹 **Gravitation zones:** optional secondary lines plotted above and below each round level.
* Distance adjustable as a **percentage of the step size** (default = 25%).
* Help visualize “magnet areas” where price tends to slow down or oscillate before crossing a level.
* 🔹 **Optional fill:** softly shaded area between the upper and lower gravitation lines for clearer visualization of each zone.
* You can enable or disable this with the *“Show gravitation fill”* toggle.
* Fill color and transparency fully customizable.
---
### 📈 **Use Cases**
* Identify **psychological support/resistance** levels on any instrument or timeframe.
* Observe **market equilibrium zones** where price tends to cluster or hesitate before continuing.
* Combine with oscillators or volume indicators to confirm reaction strength near round numbers.
* Use the **gravitational zones** to refine stop-loss or take-profit placement near high-impact levels.
---
### 💡 **Notes**
* The indicator does **not repaint** and updates levels dynamically based on the latest price.
* Works on all asset classes: **Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, Stocks.**
* Designed to be **lightweight** — no accumulation of historical objects.
* Combine this with *Round Number Analyzer* for complete analysis of round numbers level
Futures Floor Pivots — Timeframe Invariant (CT settlement)Daily pivot points with different settlement time options for different futures instruments.

Dynamic Support & Resistance (DSR)tndicator description: Dynamic Support & Resistance (DSR)
What it does
Plots dynamic support and resistance that adapt to any timeframe. In bullish phases it highlights resistances; in bearish phases it highlights supports. Works for scalping, binary options, and day trading.
How it works
Detects recent swing highs/lows with noise filtering.
Merges nearby levels into “zones” with configurable tolerance.
Promotes a zone after a valid break-and-close.
Classifies context as trend, channel, or range via slope and move strength.
Shows only context-relevant zones to reduce clutter.
Inputs
Swing length (pivot high/low).
Merge tolerance (%, ticks, or ATR fraction).
Lookback depth.
Trend filter (EMA or optional ADX).
Minimum touches to validate a zone.
Display mode: lines, bands, or blocks.
Break sensitivity (close condition, wick allowance, body %).
Visual outputs
Resistance zones during bullish phases.
Support zones during bearish phases.
Dual zones in ranges/channels.
Labels: touch count, zone strength, last test timestamp.
Signals and rules (suggested)
Reversal: rejection candle at a valid zone + momentum/volume confirmation.
Continuation: strong close through the zone + successful retest.
Invalidation: two full closes back inside the zone in the opposite direction.
Alerts (templates)
“Price touched DSR Resistance .”
“Break of DSR Support with close > sensitivity.”
“Successful retest at DSR Zone. Possible continuation.”
Timeframe guidance
1–5m: higher sensitivity, tighter tolerance. For scalping and binaries.
15–60m: balance between frequency and reliability.
4H–D: anchor levels for intraday planning.
Risk management
Technical stop: beyond the opposite zone + tolerance buffer.
Scaled TP: first at mid-range, second at next DSR zone.
Avoid trading into high-impact news.
Advantages
Auto-adapts to trend, channel, and range without constant tuning.
Reduces noise by merging redundant levels.
Focus on zones with verified touches and strength.
Limitations
Not predictive. Use with price/volume confirmation.
In high volatility, zones can update quickly. Tune tolerance accordingly.
Disclaimer
Educational only. Not financial advice. Test on demo before live use.
Cumulative Volume Delta Profile and Heatmap [BackQuant]Cumulative Volume Delta Profile and Heatmap
A multi-view CVD workstation that measures buying vs selling pressure, renders a price-aligned CVD profile with Point of Control, paints an optional heatmap of delta intensity, and detects classical CVD divergences using pivot logic. Built for reading who is in control, where participation clustered, and when effort is failing to produce result.
What is CVD
Cumulative Volume Delta accumulates the difference between aggressive buys and aggressive sells over time. When CVD rises, buyers are lifting the offer more than sellers are hitting the bid. When CVD falls, the opposite is true. Plotting CVD alongside price helps you judge whether price moves are supported by real participation or are running on fumes.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components
CVD Columns - Plot of cumulative delta, colored by side, for quick read of participation bias.
CVD Profile - Price-aligned histogram of CVD accumulation using user-set bins. Shows where net initiative clustered.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Optional two-sided profile that separates positive and negative CVD into distinct wings.
POC - Point of Control - The price level with the highest absolute CVD accumulation, labeled and line-marked.
Heatmap - Semi-transparent blocks behind price that encode CVD intensity across the last N bars.
Divergence Engine - Pivot-based detection of Bearish and Bullish CVD divergences with optional lines and labels.
Stats Panel - Top level metrics: Total CVD, Buy and Sell totals with percentages, Delta Ratio, and current POC price.
How it works
Delta source and sampling
You select an Anchor Timeframe that defines the higher time aggregation for reading the trend of CVD.
The script pulls lower timeframe volume delta and aggregates it to the anchor window. You can let it auto-select the lower timeframe or force a custom one.
CVD is then accumulated bar by bar to form a running total. This plot shows the direction and persistence of initiative.
Profile construction
The recent price range is split into Profile Granularity bins.
As price traverses a bin, the current delta contribution is added to that bin.
If Split Buy and Sell CVD is enabled, positive CVD goes to the right wing and negative CVD to the left wing.
Widths are scaled by each side’s maximum so you can compare distribution shape at a glance.
The Point of Control is the bin with the highest absolute CVD. This marks where initiative concentrated the most.
Heatmap
For each bin, the script computes intensity as absolute CVD relative to the maximum bin value.
Color is derived from the side in control in that bin and shaded by intensity.
Heatmap Length sets how far back the panels extend, highlighting recurring participation zones.
Divergence model
You define pivot sensitivity with Pivot Left and Right .
Bearish divergence triggers when price confirms a higher high while CVD fails to make a higher high within a configurable Delta Tolerance .
Bullish divergence triggers when price confirms a lower low while CVD fails to make a lower low.
On trigger, optional link lines and labels are drawn at the pivots for immediate context.
Key Settings
Delta Source
Anchor Timeframe - Higher TF for the CVD narrative.
Custom Lower TF and Lower Timeframe - Force the sampling TF if desired.
Pivot Logic
Pivot Left and Right - Bars to each side for swing confirmation.
Delta Tolerance - Small allowance to avoid near-miss false positives.
CVD Profile
Show CVD Profile - Toggle profile rendering.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Two-sided profile for clearer side attribution.
Show Heatmap - Project intensity panels behind price.
Show POC and POC Color - Mark the dominant CVD node.
Profile Granularity - Number of bins across the visible price range.
Profile Offset and Profile Width - Position and scale the profile.
Profile Position - Right, Left, or Current bar alignment.
Visuals
Bullish Div Color and Bearish Div Color - Colors for divergence artifacts.
Show Divergence Lines and Labels - Visualize pivots and annotations.
Plot CVD - Column plot of total CVD.
Show Statistics and Position - Toggle and place the summary table.
Reading the display
CVD columns
Rising CVD confirms buyers are in control. Falling CVD confirms sellers.
Flat or choppy CVD during wide price moves hints at passive or exhausted participation.
CVD profile wings
Thick right wing near a price zone implies heavy buy initiative accumulated there.
Thick left wing implies heavy sell initiative.
POC marks the strongest initiative node. Expect reactions on first touch and rotations around this level when the tape is balanced.
Heatmap
Brighter blocks indicate stronger historical net initiative at that price.
Stacked bright bands form CVD high volume nodes. These often behave like magnets or shelves for future trade.
Divergences
Bearish - Price prints a higher high while CVD fails to do so. Effort is not producing result. Potential fade or pause.
Bullish - Price prints a lower low while CVD fails to do so. Capitulation lacks initiative. Potential bounce or reversal.
Stats panel
Total CVD - Net initiative over the window.
Buy and Sell volume with percentages - Side composition.
Delta Ratio - Buy over Sell. Values above 1 favor buyers, below 1 favor sellers.
POC Price - Current control node for plan and risk.
Workflows
Trend following
Choose an Anchor Timeframe that matches your holding period.
Trade in the direction of CVD slope while price holds above a bullish POC or below a bearish POC.
Use pullbacks to CVD nodes on your profile as entry locations.
Trend weakens when price makes new highs but CVD stalls, or new lows while CVD recovers.
Mean reversion
Look for divergences at or near prior CVD nodes, especially the POC.
Fade tests into thick wings when the side that dominated there now fails to push CVD further.
Target rotations back toward the POC or the opposite wing edge.
Liquidity and execution map
Treat strong wings and heatmap bands as probable passive interest zones.
Expect pauses, partial fills, or flips at these shelves.
Stops make sense beyond the far edge of the active wing supporting your idea.
Alerts included
CVD Bearish Divergence and CVD Bullish Divergence.
Price Cross Above POC and Price Cross Below POC.
Extreme Buy Imbalance and Extreme Sell Imbalance from Delta Ratio.
CVD Turn Bullish and CVD Turn Bearish when net CVD crosses zero.
Price Near POC proximity alert.
Best practices
Use a higher Anchor Timeframe to stabilize the CVD story and a sensible Profile Granularity so wings are readable without clutter.
Keep Split mode on when you want to separate initiative attribution. Turn it off when you prefer a single net profile.
Tune Pivot Left and Right by instrument to avoid overfitting. Larger values find swing divergences. Smaller values find micro fades.
If volume is thin or synthetic for the symbol, CVD will be less reliable. The script will warn if volume is zero.
Trading applications
Context - Confirm or question breakouts with CVD slope.
Location - Build entries at CVD nodes and POC.
Timing - Use divergence and POC crosses for triggers.
Risk - Place stops beyond the opposite wing or outside the POC shelf.
Important notes and limits
This is a price and volume based study. It does not access off-book or venue-level order flow.
CVD profiles are built from the data available on your chart and the chosen lower timeframe sampling.
Like all volume tools, readings can distort during roll periods, holidays, or feed anomalies. Validate on your instrument.
Technical notes
Delta is aggregated from a lower timeframe into an Anchor Timeframe narrative.
Profile bins update in real time. Splitting by side scales each wing independently so both are readable in the same panel.
Divergences are confirmed using standard pivot definitions with user-set tolerances.
All profile drawing uses fixed X offsets so panels and POC do not swim when you scroll.
Quick start
Anchor Timeframe = Daily for intraday context.
Split Buy and Sell CVD = On.
Profile Granularity = 100 to 200, Profile Position = Right, Width to taste.
Pivot Left and Right around 8 to 12 to start, then adapt.
Turn on Heatmap for a fast map of interest bands.
Bottom line
CVD tells you who is doing the lifting. The profile shows where they did it. Divergences tell you when effort stops paying. Put them together and you get a clear read on control, location, and timing for both trend and mean reversion.
Inside Bar Highlighter by nkChartsOverview:
The Inside Candle Highlighter is a simple yet powerful TradingView indicator designed to identify inside bars (inside candles) on your chart. An inside candle is defined as a candle whose high is lower than the previous candle's high and low is higher than the previous candle's low, meaning it forms entirely within the range of the preceding candle.
Inside candles are commonly interpreted by traders as periods of market consolidation or indecision and often precede breakouts or significant price moves. This indicator highlights these candles directly on your chart, making them easy to spot at a glance.
Features
Detects Inside Candles: Automatically identifies bars that are fully contained within the previous bar’s high-low range.
Confirmed Bar Coloring: Colors the candle after it closes, ensuring no repainting occurs during formation.
Style Tab Customization: Users can adjust the candle color directly from the Style tab, allowing seamless integration with your chart theme.
Clean & Minimal: Only inside candles are highlighted, keeping charts uncluttered.
How Traders Can Use It
Identify Consolidation Zones: Quickly spot periods where the market is contracting.
Prepare for Breakouts: Inside candles often signal an upcoming directional move; traders can plan entry or exit points based on breakouts from the inside candle range.
Combine With Other Indicators: Use alongside trend indicators, volume tools, or support/resistance levels to enhance trade confirmation.
Recommended Use
Works on all timeframes — from intraday charts to daily or weekly charts.
Particularly useful in price action trading, swing trading, and trend-following strategies.
Ideal for traders who want a visual cue for consolidation and potential breakout areas without adding complexity to the chart.
Note: This indicator only highlights inside candles. Interpretation and trading decisions are left to the user.

Trend Pivots Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Trend Pivots Profile is a dynamic volume profile tool that builds profiles around pivot points to reveal where liquidity accumulates during trend shifts. When the market is in an uptrend , the indicator generates profiles at low pivots . In a downtrend , it builds them at high pivots . Each profile is constructed using lower timeframe volume data for higher resolution, making it highly precise even in limited space. A colored trendline helps traders instantly recognize the prevailing trend and anticipate which type of profile (bullish or bearish) will form.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Driven Profiles : Profiles are only created when a new pivot forms, aligning liquidity analysis with market structure shifts.
Trend-Contextual : Profiles form at low pivots in uptrends and at high pivots in downtrends.
Lower Timeframe Data : Volume and close values are pulled from smaller timeframes to provide detailed, high-resolution profiles inside larger pivot windows.
Adaptive Bin Sizing : Bin size is automatically calculated relative to ATR, ensuring consistent precision across different markets and volatility conditions.
Point of Control (PoC) : The highest-volume level within each profile is marked with a PoC line that extends until the next pivot forms.
Trendline Visualization : A wide, semi-transparent line follows the rolling average of highs and lows, colored blue in uptrends and orange in downtrends.
🔵 FEATURES
Pivot Length Control : Adjust how far back the script looks to detect pivots (e.g., length 5 → profiles cover 10 bars after pivot).
Pivot Profile toggle :
On → draw the filled pivot profile + PoC + pivot label.
Off → hide profiles; show only PoC level (clean S/R mode).
Trend Length Filter : Smooths trendline detection to ensure reliable up/down bias.
Precise Volume Distribution : Volume is aggregated into bins, creating a smooth volume curve around the pivot range.
PoC Extension : Automatically extends the most active price level until a new pivot is confirmed.
Profile Visualization : Profiles appear as filled shapes anchored at the pivot candle, colored based on trend.
Trendline Overlay : Thick, semi-transparent trendline provides visual guidance on directional bias.
Automatic Cleanup : Old profiles are deleted once they exceed the chart’s capacity (default 25 stored profiles).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spotting Trend Liquidity : In an uptrend, monitor profiles at low pivots to see where buyers concentrated. In downtrends, use high-pivot profiles to spot sell-side pressure.
Watch the PoC : The PoC line highlights the strongest traded level of the pivot structure—expect reactions when price retests it.
Anticipate Trend Continuation/Reversal : Use the trendline (blue = bullish, orange = bearish) together with pivot profiles to forecast directional momentum.
Combine with HTF Context : Overlay with higher timeframe structure (order blocks, liquidity zones, or FVGs) for confluence.
Fine-Tune with Inputs : Adjust Pivot Length for sensitivity and Trend Length for smoother or faster trend shifts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Trend Pivots Profile blends pivot-based structure with precise volume profiling. By dynamically plotting profiles on pivots aligned with the prevailing trend, highlighting PoCs, and overlaying a directional trendline, it equips traders with a clear view of liquidity clusters and directional momentum—ideal for anticipating reactions, pullbacks, or breakouts.

BRC High/Low + Retest + Sweep🧭 Overview
The BRC System (Break–Retest–Claim) is a structured breakout-retest strategy that automatically identifies new highs or lows, confirms liquidity sweeps, and highlights high-probability reclaim zones. It supports both long and short setups with adaptive zone shading and full-session awareness.
⚙️ Core Features
✅ Dual-Side Logic: Detects both bullish (Break–Retest–Reclaim) and bearish (Breakdown–Retest–Reclaim) setups.
✅ Liquidity Sweep Mode: Captures false breakouts (sweep-and-reclaim) for advanced liquidity-based trading.
✅ Adaptive Shading:
🟩 Green — Long bias
🟥 Red — Short bias
⬜ Grey — Neutral (weak ADX)
✅ EMA + ADX Trend Filters: Confirms direction using higher-timeframe momentum.
✅ Configurable Profiles: Pre-tuned for Gold day-trades and EUR/USD swings (customizable mode included).
✅ Compact Dashboard: Shows active profile, trend timeframe, ADX, bias direction, and win/loss stats for the last N trades.
✅ Abbreviated Labels (toggle): RL = Retest Long | SL = Sweep Long | RS = Retest Short | SS = Sweep Short.
✅ Dynamic Zones: Automatically updates breakout-retest areas with visual boxes extending forward.
📊 How It Works
Detects a new swing high/low breakout within a chosen lookback range.
Waits for retest of the broken level (or reclaim after liquidity sweep).
Confirms entry when body closes in trend direction + ADX/EMA filters pass.
Tracks outcomes with auto-calculated win % dashboard.
💡 Best Use
Use on Gold (XAUUSD) for intraday scalps or EUR/USD for swing trades.
Works across timeframes — best visual clarity on M15–H4.
Integrate with your risk-reward or alert-triggered execution system.
High Time Frame (HTF) Swing PointsIdentify and display swing highs and lows across multiple higher timeframes on a chart, overlaying horizontal lines and customizable labels at these swing points.
Timeframes
Five user-defined higher timeframes (default settings: 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily)
Manually show/hide individual timeframes
When chart’s timeframe is set higher than one of the five configured, the indicator will automatically hide it. This helps to prevent clutter when navigating between timeframes on the chart
Swing Levels
Configure the line color, opacity, width and weather it’s solid/dotted/dashed
Once swing levels are identified, the indicator will look for the chart candle where the line starts
When price crosses the swing level, the line will be terminated
Tags
Customize the tag text for each individual timeframe, using blank if a tag is not desired for that timeframe
A tag text color can be set for all tags or base it on the line color
Set tag text size based on: Auto, Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
Choose how far to the right of the line the tag text should appear, as an integer representing the size of a candle
Choose to clear the tag or leave it in place after price crosses a swing level
Use Cases
Visualize key swing points from higher timeframes to identify potential reversal or breakout zones
Identify possible low resistance liquidity run (LRLR) areas
Use swing points for stop placement or as targets or draws on liquidity

Trend-Fib-Pivot Sweep [JopAlgo]Trend-Fib-Pivot Sweep — trend rails + Fib touch rules + sweep logic
Core idea
This tool blends two trend MAs, a rolling Fibonacci grid, and pivot sweep tags so you can do three things quickly:
Trend → MA1 vs MA2 stack and slope
Location → Fib touch/bounce/reject rules
Triggers → sweep → reclaim or trend pullback → continuation
Use the MAs for bias, the Fib levels for where price should react, and the sweeps to spot traps and entries after liquidity grabs.
What you’ll see
MA 1 (default 21, purple) and MA 2 (default 50, gray)
Fib lines from the highest/lowest of your lookback: 0.236 (light blue), 0.382 (green), 0.5 (white), 0.618 (orange), 0.786 (red)
Sweep markers: triangle above = high sweep; triangle below = low sweep
Background: soft green when MA1 > MA2, soft red when MA1 < MA2
Read it fast → Trend (background + MA stack)? Which Fib are we near? Any sweep and reclaim?
How the Fib levels work (and what to do at each)
0.236 → shallow pullback in a strong trend
→ Expect quick bounce continuation.
→ If price closes through 0.236 and stalls, momentum may be cooling; look to 0.382.
0.382 → standard trend pullback
→ In a bullish trend, tests here often bounce and continue.
→ Entry idea: touch/bounce at 0.382 with MA1 above MA2 and rising, then a higher-low and push back above 0.382 → enter.
0.5 → midline / fair value
→ Often the “decision” level.
→ Clean continuation if 0.5 holds; deeper rotation if we accept below (for longs).
0.618 (“golden”) → deep pullback / last line for trend
→ Best risk-defined continuation entries come from rejects/reclaims here.
→ For longs: wick below 0.618, then reclaim 0.618 → long with stop under the sweep low.
0.786 → exhaustive pullback / trap zone
→ If trend is truly alive, 0.786 rejects and snaps back.
→ If we accept beyond 0.786 (closes), expect a full range rotation or trend change.
Touch/bounce rule of thumb
You want to see price interact: touch → reject (wick) → reclaim the level.
A close back above the Fib after a downside probe (or below after an upside probe) is a stronger confirmation than intrabar wicks.
What the MAs do (and how to use them)
MA1 (fast) vs MA2 (slow) define bias and momentum.
MA1 above MA2 and both rising (↗) → bullish regime.
MA1 below MA2 and both falling (↘) → bearish regime.
Flat / crossing often → balance; lean on sweeps and the deeper Fibs (0.5/0.618/0.786).
Interaction with Fibs
Highest quality: Fib level + MA confluence (e.g., 0.382 near MA1).
When MA1 = dynamic trigger: reclaim MA1 at a Fib → continuation signal.
When MA2 = last defense: lose MA2 at 0.5/0.618 → expect deeper rotation.
Sweep logic (why it matters and how to execute)
High sweep = current bar’s high takes out the recent high then fails → liquidity grab above.
Low sweep = current bar’s low takes the recent low then fails → liquidity grab below.
Execution idea
Longs: low sweep into 0.5/0.618/0.786, then reclaim the Fib and, ideally, MA1 → enter; stop under sweep low.
Shorts: high sweep into 0.5/0.382/0.236, then reclaim below the Fib and MA1 → enter; stop above sweep high.
Repaint note
If you enable Lag-Confirmed Pivot Mode, sweep labels are stricter and may “finalize” later (can appear as repaint).
For signals/alerts, prefer non-repaint mode; for review/training, lag-confirmed is fine.
How to trade it (simple playbook)
Direction filter (use MAs first)
Bullish bias → MA1 > MA2 and not flat → look for longs at 0.236/0.382/0.5.
Bearish bias → MA1 < MA2 → look for shorts at 0.236/0.382/0.5 from above.
Entries (two clean templates)
Trend pullback → continuation
→ In bull regime: price pulls to 0.382 or 0.5, shows rejection wick, then reclaims level and MA1 → enter long.
→ In bear regime: mirror with short from above.
Sweep → reclaim
→ Downside sweep through 0.618/0.786, then close back above the Fib and through MA1 → enter long.
→ Upside sweep through 0.382/0.236, then close back below and under MA1 → enter short.
Risk & targets
Stops → beyond the sweep extreme or below/above the reclaimed Fib (structure-based).
Targets → next Fib ladder (e.g., long from 0.5 → target 0.382 → 0.236), or obvious POC/HVNs if you use Volume Profile.
Settings that matter (and how to tune)
MA Types/Lengths
EMA (default fast) = responsive trend read.
SMA/HMA = smoother backbone.
21/50 is a solid default; swing traders can run 34/89.
Fib Lookback
Shorter lookback = tighter range, more sensitive levels;
Longer = broader swing map, fewer interactions but stronger signals.
Sweeps
Sweep Detection Range controls how “recent” the pivot must be (default 10).
Lag-Confirmed mode reduces false sweeps but can finalize later.
Starter presets
Intraday (15m–1H) → MA1 21 EMA, MA2 50 SMA, Fib lookback 100–150, Sweeps 10
Swing (4H) → MA1 34 EMA, MA2 89 SMA, Fib lookback 150–250, Sweeps 10–14
Pattern cheat sheet
0.382 kiss & go (trend day) → quick tag and bounce in bull regime → continuation.
0.5 decision → hold = trend resumes; failure = rotate to 0.618.
0.618 sweep + reclaim → high-quality continuation with tight risk.
0.786 trap → deep flush then snapback; if acceptance persists, expect full rotation.
MA pinch → break → MA1 and MA2 compress, then price breaks and holds a Fib → expansion leg.
Best combos (kept simple)
Volume Profile v3.2 → use VAH/VAL/POC/LVNs as concrete targets; look for Fib + VP confluence.
Anchored VWAP → reclaims/rejections at anchored lines with Fib reaction and MA agreement improve timing.
Common mistakes this helps you avoid
Buying into 0.618/0.786 without a reclaim (catching falling knives).
Fading a 0.236 pullback when MAs are strongly ↗ (fighting trend).
Taking sweeps without a reclaim/confirmation.
Ignoring the MA stack when choosing direction.

Round Number Analyzer v3Round Number Analyzer v3 is an indicator designed to analyze how price interacts with round number levels (levels spaced at fixed intervals in points or pips).
The indicator does not generate entry/exit signals, but provides detailed statistics to better understand market dynamics around these key levels.
✨ Key Features
Cross Counting: detects every time the price crosses a round number level (up = Long, down = Short).
Continuations & Reversals: classifies each cross as:
Continuation: the move continues in the same direction as the previous sequence.
Reversal: the move changes direction compared to the previous sequence.
Sequence Classification (L1…L5+): each level is labelled based on its position within the consecutive cross sequence:
L1 = first level of the sequence,
L2 = second consecutive,
…
L5+ = fifth or higher.
Comprehensive Stats Table (top right corner):
Total crosses (Long, Short, Totals).
Total continuations + breakdown by L1…L5+.
Total reversals + breakdown by L1…L5+.
Percentages calculated against the proper denominator, displayed directly inside the cells next to the absolute values.
Date range of analysis (user-defined).
Customizable Step: Works in both points and pips, making the indicator suitable for indices and forex.
⚙️ Main Inputs
Start date / End date → sets the analysis period.
Step mode → Points or Pips.
Step value → distance between round levels.
Pip size → pip size (default = 0.0001, typical for forex).
📈 How to Interpret
A high continuation percentage after L1–L2 suggests the market tends to extend multiple times beyond the first breakout levels.
Higher reversal percentages at advanced levels (L4–L5+) may signal trend exhaustion.
The analysis helps estimate the probability of continuation or reversal depending on how many consecutive levels have already been crossed.
🔎 Practical Applications
Support for breakout or mean-reversion strategies.
Comparative analysis across different markets (e.g. indices vs forex) or different time periods.
📝 Notes
The indicator is timeframe-robust, as it accounts for multiple steps within the same candle, ensuring results do not depend on the selected timeframe (except for TradingView’s historical data limits).
It does not provide automatic trading signals, but serves as a quantitative analysis tool to refine your strategies.

Round Number Analyzer v3 è un indicatore pensato per analizzare come il prezzo interagisce con i livelli di round number (livelli a distanza fissa in punti o pips).
L’indicatore non genera segnali di ingresso/uscita, ma fornisce statistiche dettagliate utili per comprendere la dinamica del mercato attorno a questi livelli.
✨ Funzionalità principali
Conteggio dei Cross: rileva ogni volta che il prezzo attraversa un livello round (verso l’alto = Long, verso il basso = Short).
Continuations & Reversals: classifica ogni attraversamento come:
Continuation: il movimento prosegue nella stessa direzione della sequenza precedente.
Reversal: il movimento inverte la direzione rispetto alla sequenza precedente.
Classificazione per sequenza (L1…L5+): ogni livello è etichettato in base alla sua posizione nella sequenza di cross consecutivi:
L1 = primo livello della sequenza,
L2 = secondo consecutivo,
…
L5+ = quinto o superiore.
Statistiche complete in tabella (in alto a destra):
Cross totali (Long, Short, Totals).
Continuations totali + breakdown per L1…L5+.
Reversals totali + breakdown per L1…L5+.
Percentuali calcolate sul denominatore corretto, mostrate direttamente dentro le celle accanto ai valori assoluti.
Date range di analisi (impostabile dall’utente).
Step personalizzabile: puoi lavorare sia in punti che in pips, così l’indicatore è adatto sia per indici che per forex.
⚙️ Input principali
Start date / End date → imposta l’intervallo temporale di analisi.
Step mode → punti o pips.
Step value → ampiezza tra i livelli round.
Pip size → dimensione del pip (default = 0.0001, tipico per il forex).
📈 Come interpretarlo
Una percentuale di continuation molto alta dopo L1–L2 indica che il mercato tende a proseguire più volte oltre i primi livelli di breakout.
Percentuali di reversal più elevate nei livelli avanzati (L4–L5+) possono suggerire esaurimento della spinta.
L’analisi permette di stimare la probabilità che un movimento in corso continui o si inverta in base a quanti livelli sono già stati attraversati consecutivamente.
🔎 Applicazioni pratiche
Supporto per strategie di breakout o mean reversion.
Analisi comparativa tra mercati (es. indici vs forex) o tra periodi temporali diversi.
📝 Note
L’indicatore è timeframe-robust: il conteggio tiene conto di multipli step dentro la stessa candela, così i risultati non dipendono dal timeframe scelto (salvo i limiti di caricamento storico di TradingView).
Non fornisce segnali operativi automatici, ma è un tool di analisi quantitativa per affinare le proprie strategie.
RTH & ETH High/Low (Today & Prev)RTH and ETH High Low Indicator. This draws a line for the ETH and RTH highs and lows for todays session and yesterdays session. it allows you to toggle off any of the 8 potential levels as well as change the colour of the 8 levels. WIP
Predictive Pivot Matrix OHLC data, integrates volume profile for POC/Value Area tracking (including virgin POC), applies rule-based "ML" scoring to evaluate pivot strength via factors like proximity, volume, touches, trend, and confluence, monitors adaptive success rates, projects 5-day future pivots using trend/volatility, detects overlapping confluence zones, and generates visuals (lines, labels, table), alerts, and buy/sell signals on key crossings.
VWAP Multi Sessions + EMA + TEMA + PivotThis indicator combines several technical tools in one, designed for both intraday and swing traders to provide a complete view of market dynamics.
- VWAP Multi Sessions: calculates and plots five independent VWAPs, each based on a specific time range. This allows you to better identify value zones and price evolution during different phases of the trading day.
- Moving Averages (EMA): three strategic EMAs (55, 144, and 233 periods) are included to track the broader trend and highlight potential crossovers.
- TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average): two TEMAs (144 and 233 periods) offer a more responsive alternative to EMAs, reducing lag while filtering out some market noise.
- Daily Levels: the previous day’s open, close, high, and low are plotted as key support and resistance references.
- Pivot Point (P): also included is the classic daily pivot from the previous session, calculated as (High + Low + Close) / 3, which acts as a central level around which price often gravitates.
In summary, this indicator combines:
- intraday value references (session VWAPs),
- trend indicators (EMA and TEMA),
- and daily reference points (OHLC and Pivot).
It is particularly suited for intraday, scalping, and swing trading strategies, helping traders anticipate potential reaction zones in the market more effectively.
